Generations Selects grease pit. Now, normally I always go over the box in the intro, but to be honest, Generations Selects boxes are kind of boring. They're just cardboard boxes with an Autobot symbol on them. But once you do get him out of the packaging, you'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions. And just like all the earth rise and siege instructions, these are very well illustrated and very easy to follow. Grease Pit is a repaint of War for Cybertron Siege Ironworks, but with a couple of differences. He comes with this extra added piece right here that is actually a gas station sign that will see in his alt mode, that attaches to his shoulder in robot mode, and instead of a hook that Ironworks came with, he gets these gas pumps that attach underneath his weapon to kind of give it a flamethrower look. And of course, he is now a Decepticon. And I absolutely love the color schemes on this guy. He looks so cool. Dare I say, I think he looks better than Ironworks. Now, in generation one, Grease Pit was the name of this little micro master right here that transformed into a monster truck. The generation selects Grease Pit is based upon Ironworks's gas station base. So you can see that's where his color scheme comes from. Grease Pit, of course, has all the articulation that Earthrise Ironworks have. The arms can do a complete 360. There is an elbow bend, elbow rotation. The head can rotate complete 360. There is a slight waist rotation, more of a hinge than a rotation. Legs can go up, down, in and out. There is a knee bend and there is an ankle tilt. So pretty cool figure. And like I said, I love the looks of this guy. Now let's go ahead and get him transformed into his gas station alt mode. Grease Pit's gas station mode is actually a pretty creative use of Ironworks's mold. I like how they take the crane arm, lay it down flat, and then you attach the gas station sign there on top. And it's got the little gas station pumps there on the side. That's really cool. And this is a great generation one throwback right here. Super gasoline Z1. Just like the G1 original. That is awesome. I love that. And here's actually both of the gas station modes together. So you have a nice side by side comparison. Also I want to take a special note and show that these right here, this is a sticker on this part. And I believe he's got new stickers right here. I've seen some early reviews of the figures where these stickers were put on pretty sloppily. These are actually on really good. And trust me, I know putting on stickers. I like how it looks like glass right there. Like that's the front of the convenience store. A really cool looking mode. Now there is another mode that Grease Pit has that's another throwback kinda to the generation one toy. So this right here is kind of my fan mode homage to the original Grease Pit battle station mode. I just kind of tweaked everything a little bit to try to make it look as close to the original as I could. And to be honest, I think I did a pretty good job for what I had to work with. And it actually works really well with his generation one namesake. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is Transformers generation selects Grease Pit with generation one Megatron, Transformers Earthrise Ironworks, and War for Cybertron Siege Brunt. Transformers generation selects Grease Pit is an awesome repaint. I actually like this version better than the original. I love the color scheme. It just really fits for Decepticon. Plus, when's the last time we got a gas station transformer? This figure is highly highly recommended. If you get a chance to pick him up, do not hesitate. You're not going to be disappointed.

Good afternoon. Today I would like to present some results of the study on some quarries caves in Lower Silesia, which on the southern part of this region we have Sudete mountains, which range from the west to to the east. Sudete mountains they formed during Varistian orogeny and after that in the Alpine orogeny they break into two pieces. It's quite important because the main quarrying activities which were taken in the middle ages concentrate in the forced Sudete block in the lower part of this mountain range. We have several places of quarrying activities. Here we have traces of sandstone quarrying as well as here. In the Sinozhamas we have traces of granite and serpentine quarrying and here we have traces of quarrying local sheaths. During the the the early middle ages and the high middle ages we can also observe some drill and up quarrying up the mountains quarrying activities. In the tribal period the main quarrying activities concentrate here but in the early feudalism the quarries are concentrated into the mountain and in the 15th century in the high middle ages we have also the 10 range as a very big place of stone acquisition. Sudete has also a very complicated geology. They are made from Brunovsk-Tulikum taran and Moldanubikum taran. It provides a huge variety of rock types in this range. More routes of early medieval and medieval quarries show a gathering of small pit quarries. They are often no more than one square kilometer. The deeper ones represent the late medieval exploitation but the smaller ones represent early medieval exploitation. In some cases we have also a gathering of pit quarries as well as open scarpment quarries which represents this kind of sites. This site is dated back to the 12th, 13th and 14th century. Also we have very early medieval quarries from 5th, 6th and 8th centuries. They drop into very small areas and they represent this type of pit quarries. Due to field studies we distinguished several types of medieval quarries in Sudete. The most popular are pit quarries. Also we have open scarpment quarries. The question is what about surface quarries because perhaps they are now invisible in the field but due to ethnographical observation we think that also this kind of quarry activities were taken in Sudete mountains but now it may be invisible. The first research on medieval quarries were taken at the 20th and 30th of the 20th century by a German archaeologist, Alfred Jan, and they excavated some quarries in the northern slope of the Schnenger massif as well as they discovered an early medieval workshop where quarries made of grains were half day finish cut. This research was continued by the Polish archaeologists in the 60s. Some more quarries were then excavated and nowadays still we have some half products which are visible on the northern slopes of the Schnenger massif. Another traces of quarrying activities we have in Kamin and Ząkowice when an ascarpment quarry was observed. We have traces of rock cut, carving of a quernstone, also traces of wedges and the drills. We have taken an excavation in Kamin and Ząkowice to to study how this mecassist was exploited here and it occurred that they exploited the mecassist in the method of so-called shafts. We have distinguished here four four levels of shafts. As well as in the Schnenger massif in Kamin and Ząkowice we have settlement workshop where the quarries made from mecassist had their final cut. The next case is case of the pit quarry located in Strzeliński Hills. This quarry is from the 15th century and here we distinguished some very interesting quarrying activities. First of all probably the establishment of this quarry was strongly connected with exploitation of very fine quality Kaolinid which was used to produce depotting in the neighboring castle. But when they exploited some Kaolinid they started to acquire granite located here. Here we have the bed of Kaolinid and here is the rock. It confirmed is also by the dual technology of exploitation. In one way it was exploited by a mecanic way using wedges and jeans but also the stone was exploited using fireplaces and after that they were put some water on this fire and rock has crashed. We also observed some very interesting features which may represent the remains of scaffolding. We are not sure if there are really the traces of scaffolding but these features gathered only in the forefront of the quarry. In the small trench we discovered more than 500 pieces of pottery mainly very huge vessels and we suppose that these vessels were used to bring some water to this quarry. Also as the pottery we discovered some tools connected with these activities. This system observed in Stalinski Hills is very interesting because here we have main quarry. We have also in the neighborhood the secondary quarry or clay pit. We don't know because we didn't excavate it but in this complex we also observed cistern which has a small connection with this main quarry through the ditches from pre-waterfall. These ditches were exploited by us only by the measuring of the field. They are not visible in a real field. Some quarrying activities are really nice to set up the chronology of the site because we have some artifacts which are dated such as this cross to 14th and 15th century but some quarry activities are also represented by the wages hall and the tools which were abandoned near the quarry. Summarizing this research we have three types of quarries distinguished in Sudat mountains, pit quarries, open escarpment quarries and subsurface quarries also that we should remember about the fort activities which is the acquisition of stone from gathering from the surface. The technology was rather simple. It was mainly exploitation and directory from rock using tools such as wages drills, hammers and cheese salt. That few quarries represent the type of fire and water technology so almost all the quarries have settlement workshops in the nearest neighborhood of these structures. Raw material in the Middle Ages was used both to the architecture and both to the small finds like quarry stones, wet stones, spindle holes, polishing tools, gran stones, casting mounds, pots and gaming bowls. Of course the form of these small finds differ in the early Middle Ages and in the high Middle Ages. Thank you for attention for more detailed information. There are two books about the quarrying activities in Sudat. They have English summaries and a lot of pictures so it's available on academia item. Thank you.


Morning traders, Patrick Muller here with another tickmail chart. I want to draw your attention to some opportunities in gold on the daily time frame. Trading in this descending channel, we're testing channel support here. If we can get back through the 1740 level, look for a move up to 1775. As this fades, look for a final load to be made into the 1650, which is the equality objective versus this swing structure. From here, I think we can see a more meaningful corrective move back up to the 185 area, which is the yearly pivot. As always, traders, plan the trade, trade the plan, and most importantly, manage your risk. So next time, thanks very much.


الحمد لله الحمد لله إن أحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونقمن به ونتبكل عليه ونعوذ بالله من شرور نفسنا وبنسيئات عمالنا من يهده الله فلا مضلله ومن يدره فلا هاري له وأشهد ولا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن سيدنا ومولانا محمدا عبده ورسوله أرسله بالهدى ودين الحق ليثهره على الدين كله وكفى بالله شهيدا فصل الله عليه وعلى آله وسلما فسليما كثيرا كبيرا أما بعد فعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعصر إن الإنسان لفي خصح إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وتواصلوا بالحق وتواصلوا بالصدق صدق الله عديد اللهم ربش رحلي صدري ويسرري أمر بحلو قدتم باللسان يفقى القولي اللهم أرنا الحق حقا ورزقنا تسلاعه وأرنا الباط إلى باطلة ورزقنا اجتنابه اللهم آنس وحشتنا في قبولنا ورحمنا بالقرآن العظيم وجعله لنا إمامه ونوره وغده ورحمه يا رب العالمين لذا أرسلت أخيين أخيين وأخيين أنا فقط أرسلت لك فقط حولك صورة من القرآن لأن أأخيين جميعكم بالحلوات حتى أن الأطباء وإنسان وكلامهم مجيوثين هذا لأنه جميعا صورة في القرآن في القرآن هناك سورة with 3 آيات و this is one of them It's Surat Al-Asra And although it is one of the shortest Suras in the Qur'an It is yet one of the most comprehensive Jamia One of my teachers who taught me the Qur'an He based an entire course of study on this one Sura That if you can understand what's happening right here It'll give you a comprehensive understanding of your Deen And also of the obligations that you have in this Deen فرايف الدين كجامة صبور لكالد نكتب إسرار أحمد من الله هل مرسي on him He also called it سهل ممتنة Because on the surface the easy impossible Because on the surface it's very simple And in fact if you're somebody who can speak And understand Urdu Most of the words are easy to understand Even if you don't know Arabic والعصر إن الإنسان اللي في خصر إلا اللي نأمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وطواصه بالحق وطواصه بالصبر You need to know maybe just a little bit of explanation But on the surface The words are very easy to understand But the meanings are Deen And it is reported that إمام الشافة يرحم الله Has said ponder over this Surah To the point that If you think just about this Surah لو تدب بر الناس who had this Surah If you just If human beings were to think just about this Surah Would be sufficient for your guidance Dive deep into it There's also a report that comes Is reported on the authority of Pavarani That when two companions Among the companions of the Prophet The Prophet would meet كان رجلاني من أصحاب النبي إذا تقايروا They would meet لم يتفرقوا They wouldn't part each other حتى يقرأ أحدهما على الآخر سورة العصر And this is why when we Often sit in gatherings And if they're gatherings with learned people You will notice that Before anything There are a few words like سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ولا إله إلا أن نصطق في رقم تبو إلي These are reports that we have What you should recite When a gathering is concluding But also they will recite سورة العصر It's because of this Because the companions Would remind each other Before they left of this Surah And today We're going to think about All these things In Sha Allah In the time that we have I think that was just a brief introduction We'll begin I'll put forward some different translations In English Because the word عصر Has been translated differently And that's because People have read different meanings into it And all of these go back To authentic reports And traditions There's more than one way To think about something Then we'll discuss Some of the meanings Then I'll point out Some thematic aspect Of the Surah Because where it comes In the Qur'an That are very interesting Surahs That help us Really understand What's happening Right in the middle If we have time We'll talk a little bit about The relationship of sound And rhyme To meaning Okay So سورة العصر و العصر That's the first ayah و العصر The second ayah إن الإنسان اللفي خصر و العصر إن الإنسان اللفي خصر And the third ayah إلا اللينا عاملوا و عاملوا الصالحاتي و طباصة بالحق و طباصة بالصبر So already you notice A kind of asymmetry The first ayah is short The second just a little bit longer And the third one Not just a little bit longer than that But much longer Although they all end in a rhyme عصر خصر And صبر Okay What does it mean? و العصر This is و قسم By time So I have four translations I picked The Saheed International Comes out of Saudi Arabia عبدالله يوسف علي Marmadouk Big Fall And عبدالحليم And you can go further And look at even more I had a lot more When I was looking But I picked these ones So the Saheed International One says By time و العصر By time So they're عصر As in time And the Arabs have different words For time وق ده So here's a particular kind of time عبدالله يوسف علي Says By the token of time Through the ages A kind of historical time By the token of time Through the ages Big Fall says By the declining day By the declining day It's very interesting Obviously you know صلاة العصر It's the same word The mid-afternoon prayer And so He picked Going off of that By the declining day And عبدالحليم Went the same way But he adds I swear to make the Oath explicit Not just by و العصر I swear By the declining day إنة الإنسانة لا في خسر Indeed mankind is in loss Indeed mankind is in loss And there are several modes Of emphasis employed In the Arabic إنة لا في خسر Indeed This is why the translators Indeed Verily Surely mankind All human beings Are in loss عبدالحليم says Verily man is in loss Big Fall says لا man is in a state of loss And عبدالحليم says I swear By the declining day That man Is indeed loss So when you read This far It should be Send shivers up your spine Because it's talking about us And It's not pleasant We're in a state of loss That's by default But then the third ayah Speaks of an exception إلا But not those who So now you have to pay attention Right This is the moment Where we have to say Okay I don't want to be in a state of loss So Let me listen To the exception إلا الذين آمنوا Except for those who There are four things here آمنوا Have faith وعاملوا الصالحات And do righteous Deeds وات الله صول بالحق And Encouraged each other In the path of حق Truth Righteousness Reality God دوحيد The Qur'an They encourage each other واتاوا صول بالصب And they exhort Or encourage each other To have patience And perseverance So here are the translations Except for those Who have believed And done righteous deeds And advised each other To truth And advised each other To patience Except such as Have faith And do righteous deeds And join together In the mutual Teaching of truth And of patience And constancy You should already Be getting the idea That if anybody Thinks That the Deen of Islam Is about private Devotion Isolated From society Not bothered about you You're not bothered about me To each his own You have to think again Right? It's giving you a Comprehensive understanding Of your Deen And some of them مفصلون Have said because other places In the Qur'an You just have iman Or you just have iman And righteous deeds Like So here they have said That you have something Particular That's mentioned After the general And it's already Included in the general In iman And good deeds But it's been mentioned Exclusively afterwards Because of its importance That you may understand That to have iman And good deeds Includes a social Responsibility And good deeds And good deeds And good deeds And good deeds Includes a social responsibility And when you engage In social responsibility You will face opposition And resistance And you have to be patient In the face of their opposition It's not simple And in other places In the Qur'an This has been mentioned In different terms In surahة القوان أقيم الصلاة و أمر بالمعروف و نهي عن المنكر. و إضافة ما is good and forgive and forgive what is wrong. This is social responsibility.  و أمر بالمعروف و نهي عن المنكر. و أصبر على ما صادق. But then the patient.  And you start blaming others. You know it's not for me. Why does this happen to me? Well that's because that's the path. That's the way things happen. And who is it that faced more opposition than the prophets? So at least the shadow of that those people will get to walk in their path. So this is the Surah. The other last two translations. Big fall. You know man is in a state of loss. Save those who believe and do good works. And exhort one another to truth. And exhort one another to endurance. Because it's not easy to stay on the path. You have to endure. And عبد الحليم says I swear by the declining day that man is indeed loss. Except for those who believe and do good deeds. Urge one another to the truth. And urge one another to steadfastness. So that's the idea in the Surah. There's a couple of hadith that need to be mentioned here. One is the one that says speaks about degrees of iman in relation to social responsibility. It's just a reminder. I'm sure all of you know this. Whosoever amongst you sees something that is wrong. Witnesses something that is abhorrent. You should repel it. Change it. And actively with your hands you have to engage in this. And if you're unable to there may be sort of incapacity. You might have some prudence. You don't have to be reckless. Then at least speak out. If you are unable to do it actively then at least speak out with your tongue. At least acknowledge it as wrong in your heart. Don't reconcile with it. That is none of my business. That's what they're doing. That's what's happening outside. I have nothing to do with it. I'm content. I'm happy. I'm not bothered. And this is أضعف the lowest or the weakest point of faith when you don't have the strength or the capacity or the ability. We are the Muslim Ummah. And when we were made the Muslim Ummah كذلك أجعلنا أم أم تن وصطن. And there's interesting interpretations of this وصط the middle. But we were made this middle nation a just nation لتكونوا شهداءة على الناس. The purpose of us existing in the form of a community is that we will bear witness unto humanity that this is behind guidance. This is how it's done. This is how people are supposed to live. This is the path to prosperity to success to happiness. إتكونوا بشهداءة على الناس ويكون الرسول عليكم شهيلة and that the messenger will be witness unto you. And he wants. He said this in his last Hajj. على البلادو Have I not? Born witness? And they all said yes, we bear witness. You have. You've delivered the message. فَلْ يُبَلِّرْ أَشَاهِبْ وَنْغَائِبْ So then the one who is present should take what I have given to those who are absent. And we are bearers of that message. And we have social responsibility. You can't neglect it. And so the take home lesson be involved in your community. The Muslim community and the larger community that Muslims are in. Don't isolate yourselves. And it's not easy. That's not the easy way. The easy way is to mind your own business. Keep doing what you're doing. You're well established. You have nice positions. You have nice salary coming in. Don't rock the boat. No. This message rocks the boat. Don't feel secure. أعزيب الناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا آمننا وهم لا يفننون. Do people think that they can say we believe and then they will not be tested and tried but لقد فتنل الذين من قبلهم. Everybody was tried before you. This is how it works. When you say I believe enter the realm of examination and test and struggle و لقد فتنل الذين من قبلهم. This is the sunnah of Allah. This is how it is done. You will be tested and examined. So don't forget that. There's another hadeeb. It's a very interesting hadeeb. It's a hadeeb قدسي. In which there's this village where the people are unrighteous. And Allah says to the angel go and turn it over. Time has come. And the angel goes down and you know the story but understand it again in this context. And the angel comes up back to Allah. And of course the angel knows this. But still he does it. This is how Allah has created them in us. Says there's this one person in this village who has not disobeyed you for the twinkling of an eye. Not disobeyed you for the twinkling of an eye. And Allah says as reported to have said in this hadeeb turn the village over him first. And then everybody else. Because he saw and witnessed what was happening around him. And even the face of his color didn't change by seeing the wrong acts. He had a social responsibility. And finally Allah will reward his devotion to how He chooses to reward him. That's something else. But the rules in this world are that if you have knowledge, if you have been given knowledge, if you have been given revelation, now you are responsible. And if you do not actively engage in trying to understand that and believe in it act upon it. And in some way fulfill a social responsibility in the society around you. Then if a punishment comes it will overtake you and everybody else in this world. And there's a way to safeguard yourselves. Take on that responsibility. So here is Surah Al-Asr the main theme of it. Now try to understand it inside of the Surah that came before and after. It's Surah At-Taka'athur and Al-Humaza. And at this point I'm zeroing in although not exclusively taking one meaning over another. But to think about this in light of the life of the people in Arabia. Asr time. What do people do at Asr time? You're closing up shop. If you're a businessman or businesswoman and both were there. At the end of the day it's time to take account how much did I make? What do I get to take home? وَالْعَسْرِ إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ الَّفِيْخُصْرِ No, it's a loss. If you are unmindful of core principles it's a loss. It doesn't matter how much you made. أَلْهَاكُمُتَّكَاتُرْ The Surah before it. This is Abdullah Yusra Ali. The mutual rivalry for piling up the good things of this world diverts you from the more serious things until you visit the graves. It's a distraction. أَلْهَاكُمُتَّكَاتُرْ Piling up the good things of this world حتى زلطه المقادر. And then you're gone. It's over. And the same thing with the Surah after it. أَلْهَاكُمُتَّكَاتُرْ كُلِّهُمَزَةِ الْلُمَزَةِ وَاَمْتُرْهُمْتَكَاتُرْ وَاَمْتُرْهُمْتَكَاتُرْ وَاَمْتُرْهُمْتَكَاتُرْ اللَّذِي جَمَا عَمَالًا The one who gathers wealth جما عَمَالًا وَعَدَّدًا and counts it constantly. Well asked whether you think of it as humanity doing this over the ages or you think it as mid afternoon the time when it comes to actually do the counting at the end of the day. إنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ اللَّهِ يِخُصُمْ It's a loss Now you can understand why the companions used to recite this. Think about it, where are we going after now? Do work. Go back to the accounting making how much you make the right decisions I could have done this had a little bit more. That's not what's going to end up as profit at the end of the day. This could turn out any which way it is a categorical statement it's a loss unless you have the framework of Eman and unless you are mindful of righteous deeds and unless you are fulfilling a higher responsibility to those around you and that you are steadfast in that path that is the priority So these three ayats we hear them often we recite them and in such a concise way the Quran has put forward an entire framework for understanding your Dean for establishing your priorities and then for moving forward with that understanding I ask الله سبحانه وتعالى to keep us on the right path to keep us mindful of his teachings and to keep us attached to the core values of this need which are not very difficult to grasp we forget them and the idea of a Juma the idea of other gatherings that you may have to do zikr of Allah to remember Allah is to keep those core values in mind because we forget we're so overwhelmed by the world around us the messages that keep flooding in so many different media and gadgets and even through our associations we forget and so we need this constant reminder and one of the names of the Quran is a zikr it's the reminder because we know deep down بل الإنسان وعلى نفسه ضصيرة but human being sees deep down really what he's all about لو القام على بيره وعلى نفسه if you look deep down inside we can recognize certain truths and no Quran is there to remind us بل قد يسبن القرآن للذكر it's made easy you know there are certain alum and there is specialized knowledge and we need people to study deeply no Quran and these alum and these sciences to make sure that we don't violate certain parameters but that doesn't mean that the ordinary person should feel like they can't approach these topics and they all have to be mediated it has been made easy for a reason it's supposed to appeal to everybody and so we ask Allah سبحانه و تعالى to make us from among those who are mindful and who do we mean أقول القولي هذا وستقفر الله إنه هو or هو وستقفر والصلاة والسلام وعلى عبابه الذين استطاع أما بعد إن الله و ملائكه يصالون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلم وتسليمه الله مصلي على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد المجيب الله مبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم إنك حميد المجيب الله ما ربنا ذو لمنا أنفسنا وإن لم تقفلنا وترحمنا لنكوننا من الخاصلين ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنا وفي الأخلة حسنا وقنا عذاب النبي ربنا رقفلنا ذو مبنى وتفل عننا سيجئاتنا وتوفنا مع الأبرار عباد الله إم الله يقول بالعدل والحساد وإتاة بالقربة وينهى على الفحشاء وإنك للضرب يعيذكم العلكم تذكرون خذكم الله يذكركم ولعوب يستجب لكم لاتكله إتعاله أكثر والله يعلم ما تصنعون


And you actually have to become comfortable not being the best, right, on your team in that area, which is a weird thing when you're someone who has done a lot of things and even have the capacity to be really, really great at it. However, you're saying, I'm going to be great at this and that's a discipline, right? Because this is my role.  So I need to find somebody who has the capacity to be great in that spot and let them surpass me. I don't have to focus on that at all because if I get somebody who's not as good as me right now, I'm just looking over my shoulder trying to correct him and now that I hit it, you get a hit. Yeah. 100%. Delegation is very, very tough, especially when you don't trust the people that you work with. And there I've, you know, I know of cases where I work with people and they don't deliver anywhere close to like satisfactory. And then the question is like, do I, you know, I've had an example where like, you know, I'm working with a videographer, person falls through. I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to put together my own music video. Like I've had to do that. I've had to be like, hey, I'm going to, you know, this person offers to help with reaching out to media, you know, does a subpar job. I'm like, whatever I'll do it myself and, you know, triple up quadruple up over whatever they were able to do. Right. Like I've been in those situations, but I've also been in situations where like hand something off to somebody and then they kill it. They like create something that I would have never even thought to do because they, they are 100% focused. They're determined. They're willing. And so, right. And so you can't, you can't let the, it's like basketball. You know what I mean?   You have to let your other team try. Of course, there's like a whole pre team process of like choosing your teammates. So you would hope that the people that you've chosen, you've vetted them out already, but then after you've vetted them out, like, let them shoot the ball. If they miss, they miss once they make it. You celebrate them making it, right? You, if you are in a coach position, you help them get better. And you just play the game. Like you're, it's not like I make every shot that I take. So I should treat that same level of mercy and grace with my team members getting there instead of being like, oh, I'm going to do it because at the end of the day, especially if you're in a, a growing business, like if your business is really growing, then short, like celebrate the work that you've done. But now that means that your responsibility is not just to grow it by yourself, but to bring other people with you that also believe in your mission, that believe in you because you've invested in yourself. And to go back to what you were saying earlier, like, don't, don't ask for people to invest in you too early. Like if you haven't even shown that you can invest in yourself and make something happen, like it's a lot, like you can't blame people for being like, Hey, that looks dope. I want to be a part of it. It's not necessarily just because they want the shiny object, although a lot of people do, but it's more like, Hey, I see Sean's commitment in what he's done, what he's built for himself. I want to be a part of that. I want to see how I can enable that to grow even further by leveraging whatever skills and experiences that I have and bring that to the table. Like people get attracted to want to hire or sorry to interview for a company because they've seen what other people have done for that company already. And so you have to be that person and invite that. Like it should be a blessing to be like, Hey, I need more people. Oh, but I've like proven something is dope enough that other people actually want to come. So that's that's where I'm at where it's like, OK, let me like talk to these people and I'm like getting the team together right now.


Hey good morning people. It's Sunday May 1st. It is 11 44 a.m. still morning technically but you know a few minutes before lunch. Anyway I finished two more journals for the month of April and now I need to prep the ones for May and I need to pull the word lists and all that stuff so we're going to get that done and I'll be right back. It's just before 10 a.m. Monday May 2nd. The only quiet day this week.  Anyway we're supposed to dog sit this week and we're going to dog sit Lily here because the kids are going to the kids are going out of town. Well all the kids are going out of town so we're going to dog sit for Rebecca and Paulius and then we're supposed to also cat sit for Jenny and Brian because they're also supposed to go out of town. However late last night we got a message from them that cats something's wrong with the cat.  His name is biscuit and they had to take him to the 24 hour vet so I am not sure what's going on with that and or if their plans are going to have to change or any idea. So I'm waiting to hear about that. We also have the furnace people coming down for annual inspection and all of that and we have I have counseling and and and and and yeah it's a lot. Anyway I got all my Monday morning work done yesterday so I'm just up here making sure a few things get posted that couldn't be scheduled and then I think I'm going to turn on my soap opera general hospital. I've been watching it since the 1970s. It first came to TV I don't know um maybe one of you all know leave it down below. I remember watching it on our old Black and White TV. Anyway I am going to sit and catch up on those episodes while I work and try to work in and see if I can finish this gel pen journal. I'm really I said before not a super huge fan of the gel pen and if you're watching this you've already seen maybe some of my posts this week in Facebook groups that I'm members of and stuff. Gel pens are just not my favorite. I keep struggling with them but and this is like dead. It has just teeny tiny bit of ink in it. I may try to pull the cartridge out and stick it in a like something of water to see if I can soak the rest of the color out just because I'm cheap and I love the color but yeah this is dead. I had to grab a new one in order actually some more. My brain's all over the place this morning but you know what are you going to do? All right I'll be back. So I always think you know I'm just really not a huge fan of gel pens. I'm not working on that journal maybe I should get rid of them and then I sit and do something and go oh yeah they're kind of fun maybe maybe it's the bag I was keeping them in and that was why I didn't use them much. I have these other pen bags that I use for my other stuff downstairs and they have pen loops in them so I'm wondering if I organize them in that and sort of force myself to do my daily drawings and journaling plus one page and either this or my watercolor journal every day. Have you gotten the ideas about how to use products that you just maybe kind of like and maybe kind of don't want to get rid of but effective ways to incorporate them into your stuff like on a daily basis or regular basis let me know because yeah struggling. All right do some more drawing and I guess set up this other drawing bag I'll be back. So you know I took the gel pens in the journal I was drawing with upstairs with the idea that I would leave them up there and maybe I would let them go because anyway it's back in the bag anyway got some artwork work done today got some chores done today I'm gonna go upstairs and grab husband's lunch dishes because I need to start the dishwasher and of course it's raining on and off again today it's like 50 something outside we're supposed to have a day where it's like 72 that's assuming the storm clouds go away I don't know I'm freezing again all right I'll be back funny Monday so I randomly randomly find out of course grand kit biscuit is grand kit. Grand kit in biscuit is not well and which isn't great but it means I have one last thing on my plate this week because his parents aren't going out of town I thought I was going to be purging and getting rid of the gel pens and I ended up making three doodles with them I'll put them here and repackaging them and bringing them back downstairs got a nice message from a friend of mine I haven't spoken to you in it a little bit it hasn't been too long and then I just randomly got a message from one of my nieces in Iowa that I rarely hear from out of the blue asking me about watercolor paint so it's all good it's just a weird day welcome to Monday everybody it is I don't know what time 8 27 a.m. we have annual furnace inspection and plumbing inspections and things going on this morning so people in and out of the house and yeah it's a thing I'll be back morning everybody um what time is it 9 35 a.m. Wednesday May 3rd I think it's going to be a busy day today I've got a bunch of errands for on this morning then I've got a couple projects to work on and then I've got to take daughter to the airport because she's flying to California for one of her dear friends way and Bob is going to stay at home well I do that because he's going to be one watching the dog grand dog and two he's got a phone call with India so anyway we are going to go run some errands I've got a mail some stuff to my niece Sarah in Iowa Sarah if you're watching this the package is going to go out today I'll send you tracking and I've got to pick up some groceries and and and I don't know what else we'll get up to we might stop a good well we might not I don't know it's kind of early good well I don't think opus until 10 so we'll see I'll be back but I guess I'm not just sitting and doing my daily drawings and stuff we're taking spas out for a walk I know I'm not talking about Bob talking about the dog not this time yeah no not this time so anyway we're gonna go take her for a walk it's after 8 o'clock but you know sorry I'll be back okay it's been a bit it's just about three o'clock and I have gotten through my counseling session the contract are coming over to measure the kitchen the gardener coming and and EPS sorry squirrel and reorganizing and straightening at least the bottom two-thirds of one side of the closet so I at least got this side done I have a bag of trash a bag of donations there is one bin up there that one I need to think about it's a wool felting stuff because I bought it thinking I would like it and I'm not sure that I do so that's a thing I don't know so yeah and there's random stuff stuck between the bins that I need to I need to take care of that so I need to relabel some drawers I need to find a place to put my next batch of rocks until they're painted so I need to get a little bit out for that and yeah things are going along nicely I'm remembering to breathe taking things slowly and being kind to myself yes all right that's it for the minute let me go get a bin and I'll be back it's ready do you hear that it's dumping rain again it's not even just raining or pouring rain it's dumping rain again it's been doing that on and off all day I seriously doubt we're taking crazy pants for a WA okay tonight anyway I haven't gotten much of anything done other than dishes and a few chores because I started working on a new project today and now I'm just totally obsessed it's been something I've been thinking about for at least a year talked to my counselor got a thumbs up from her she says it's a great idea checked with my sister Elizabeth who my trust dearly she also I sent her some snippets she's like yes you have to do this and so yeah holy cow it's really raining all the gutters are just it's a river it's a river of water down our driveway I don't know if you can see that it took me a quite a while to get this project done get the first draft written there's a hint um it has to go out to people to have them check it get opinions all the things for the things because of the things but it feels good to do it I'm completely obsessed which is usually a good sign and so anyway if nobody likes it except me I'm okay with that so there you go all right I don't think that's going to be the case but anyway all right I will be back we're gonna go for a walk we're supposed to have clear weather for about 30 minutes so yeah we're gonna go get some steps in I'll be back through the mud to get pictures of the ducks and you think I'm kidding and not so much we're in the car again it's Saturday morning it's about 10 25 am May 7th Lily is not happy about being in her crate while grandma and grandpa go out without her she was whining when we left poor thing anyway we are gonna go run to the grocery store really quick and to her house to pick up their mail and then we'll be back and if it's not raining we'll take her for a walk I can actually say the word because she's not in the car so we'll see what happens all right okay so like yesterday we're gonna try to go get some walking in and take crazy pants aka lily grand dog for some steps and to do her business before it dumps again I don't know I've got an umbrella in my pocket just in case we'll see then I think we're gonna spend the afternoon I'm gonna do some sketching I think we might watch a movie I've got a couple chores I need to do first but I think it's just gonna be a chill relaxing afternoon and I can't say I'm mad at it so let's go get some steps in and see what else we can get up to I also heard there's a new resale shop in the neighborhood but I don't think I'm gonna get there today but definitely need to check it out sometime soon I'll be back hey guys yet again it is 11 04 pm on Saturday May 7th and I haven't closed the vlog yet it's just been a relaxing day of running a few out errands we did some chores took the dog for a walk I know the lighting is weird because it's late we're still working on this vintage puzzle from the 1930s it has no picture the box looks like that there's no yeah anyway I'm working on it very slowly and we watched some movies I didn't get a lot of sketching done because we were doing other stuff but we weren't doing anything super important I did get a little bit but not a lot hopefully I can get some more done tomorrow it's difficult with the dog it's like having a toddler in the house only she's got four paws so you know anyway we hope you've all had a good week and yours was hopefully maybe calmer and less crazy than ours was I know I probably didn't show it all on camera but it was a week filled with appointments and contractors and phone calls and just like one thing after the other including puppy sitting our schedule was a little bit lighter because our grand cat biscuit got sick unfortunately but it was still in that so anyway just remember take my advice it's okay to say no don't do don't be me say no anyway all right so I hope you've had a good week I hope you have a great

Yeah, that's scary


If you feel like returning to the narcissist, once you have managed to leave, once you have managed to remove yourself from the situation, you should not return to the narcissist. Once you have had some time to heal and improve your life, you should never go back. They will try to get back into your life, but they will never hold themselves accountable for anything that they have done. They will always leave you feeling invalidated. You may want to return to them for closure, but you will never get that from the narcissist. They are far too insecure to ever give you the closure and validation that you need and by withholding it from you, it then gives them the ability to control you. People who are insecure have an obsessive need for control. If they were to give you the closure and validation that you need, they would be allowing you to have control over yourself, which then puts them at a disadvantage because they don't have control over themselves. The narcissist cannot compete at a fair game. They have to weaken you and put you in an unfavourable state or condition because they are very weak insecure people. They have to bring you down to their level and even attempt to put you beneath them to level the playing field so that they are able to compete with you. But if you are thinking of going back to the narcissist, don't expect to receive any closure or validation. Going back to them will only put you in danger. It will only increase the possibility of you suffering from pain or distress. It will only increase the possibility of something unwelcome or unpleasant happening and you will basically be given them permission to abuse and disrespect you. Because that's all they're going to do. They cannot value or respect you because they don't value or respect themselves. They cannot see the value in you because they have nothing of value of their own so they don't know how to treat you. Which means that they're only going to toy with you, they're not going to treat you with any value or respect but you can value yourself. You can respect yourself by not going back to them, by realising that you deserve so much more. Self love is your greatest offence against the narcissist. When you realise how important and valuable you are, you will never desire to be around them. You will never desire to be around anyone who doesn't value or respect you and you won't need their closure or validation because you can validate yourself. You can see the value in yourself and that is what will stop you from returning to the narcissist. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you.

Professor, thank you for being here today. I'm really curious to understand your thoughts on some of the challenges CEOs are facing in organizations undergoing digital transformation. Yes. We've just done a survey with CEOs all over the world, something like 500 of them replied, and we found quite a few very interesting findings. One that I personally found interesting and revealing is that whereas all of these CEOs, 100% of them said, we've undertaken a digital transformation journey in the last five, 10 years, something like 80% of them, 82% to be exact, said that they are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the progress of their digital transformation journey and with the success of their digital transformation journey, and we explored that a little bit as to why. Why are you not happy? And again, many issues came up. The number one was this issue about, they said, we did not create enough urgency in the organization to change. And again, we said, why not? And it turns out that there are two ways to create urgency in an organization. I call it the correct way and the wrong way. And guess what? The majority of these people use the wrong way to create urgency. And what is the wrong way? There's a lot of psychology literature on this. The wrong way to create urgency is by trying to scare people. It's by trying to say, oh, if we don't change, these bad things are going to happen to us. Or, oh my God, look at all the changes around us. AI, digital revolution, robotics, machine learning, oh my God, oh my God, we need to change. Otherwise, you're going to go bankrupt. That scaring people, in other words, we know from psychology has a very short-term effect. But then people go back to whatever they were doing after a while and so on. That's their own way to create urgency. And unfortunately, that's the method that most CEOs use. The correct way is, first of all, you tell them of the negatives. If we don't do this, yeah, we're going to go bankrupt. But you don't stop there. You spend the majority of your time in giving people something positive to aim for. You say, look guys, we need to transform here. You know why? Because by transformation, we're going to achieve this and this and this. So you give them something positive to aim for. And more importantly, you sell it to them to win their emotional commitment to it. Now compare the two tactics. One is to scare. The other is to give people something visionary, positive to aim for, but you sell it to them. Which one is the easier for CEOs to take or for companies to take? I think scaring people. So they all do that and in the end, it doesn't work. It's not the right way to create change momentum in an organization. And that is just one of the findings from our transformation journey. What's something else that you found in your findings? The other thing that caught them by surprise was the fact that they said, we look at all the changes happening as a result of the digital disruption. And they said, okay, we need to do certain things. They develop an action plan and they put it into place. But then what happened was that as they were responding to the changes brought about by the digital transformation, lots of other disruptions started happening. Like AI, like robotics, like synthetic biology. Like, you know, so they suddenly realized, wait a minute, we are responding to what happened so far, but we are not preparing the organization for the disruptions that are yet to really hit us. Unfortunately, in today's world, given the changes happening, you know, transformation is not just a one-off event. You don't respond and that's it after a while it finishes. Transformation is a continuous journey.  So the challenge for these companies is primarily how do you set up the organization to engage in a continuous transformation journey to respond to whatever disruption hits you tomorrow knowing full well that you don't know what disruption is going to hit you tomorrow. And that is the difficult thing that caught them by surprise. Things like change fitness in a way, ongoing change fitness. Exactly. It's not a one-off. You don't just go to the gym, spend six months, now I've finished my gym and now I'm set for life. It's a continuous process and it's the speed with which things change now that require that. One of the things that was strongly related to what Riccardo was asking about in the engagement of people is the sense of purpose and how people feel about what it is that they do and how they make a difference both for their organizations and the world around them. Can you comment on that? Purpose is very important especially given the changes we've seen in the new generation coming in, increasingly the younger people, if you ask them why do you want to work for an organization, sense of purpose is number one on their list. It's not about the money or about promotion or about security, sense of purpose. Why am I here? Is it just to maximize shareholder value? Come on. Shareholder wants to maximize their value, let them come and work. Why should I be working and so on? So they want something more. So purpose is definitely important, but my experience is that most purposes that companies develop are not really that useful, they are useless in fact. And I've tried to understand why, why are most purposes useless? They sound good. Well, my purpose is to save the world. My purpose is to make, you know, a better place for my children and countries. They sound good. Why are they useless? And the reason, the bottom line is very simple. For a purpose to be powerful and effective, people must buy into it. They must buy into it in their hearts, not in the brain, rational acceptance, in the hearts. They buy into it and they believe in it and they behave accordingly. But then, how do people buy into something? They don't wake up in the morning and they buy into a purpose, however good or sexy it may sound. They buy into it when we as leaders in an organization spend time and effort selling it to them to win their emotional commitment to it. Selling is much more than communicating.  That's communicating. You haven't sold it to people. No, there are some people that are very inspiring, Martin Luther King. And I say to people, to lead us out there, if you are as inspiring as Martin Luther King with words, yes, by all means, use words to inspire people for the purpose. But if you're not as inspiring as Martin Luther King, maybe you should use a few additional strategies and tactics to sell your purpose to your people, not just communication but a variety of other tactics. It's a process. To sell to people, to win their heart, it's a process. And I always ask people, think of how long and how many strategies you use to win the heart of your husband or wife. Did it take you more than one date? Or did you go out on one date and at the end of it, oh, I'm so in love with you and let's get married and have many children. It never happened like that. It takes some time. It takes a lot of tactics on our part to win another human being's heart. It's the same with our employees. We need to think creatively and go beyond just communication to sell our purposes to our employees so that they buy into it. And it's only when they buy into it that the purpose begins to have meaning and it's powerful and it influences human beings.


Hello everybody, my name is Max Nicotra, technical marketing supporting our Teseo Geneses module family in North America. This video is intended to provide high-level guidance on Teseo Geneses modules for asset and free-tracking applications. This slide is an overview of the Teseo module family. From the top center going clockwise, Live3R, Live3FL and Live3F are our single-band L1 positioning engine modules, providing accurate position, velocity and time, or PVT, for applications requiring standard accuracy. They are a great fit for asset-tracking and fleet management applications because of small footprint, 10 by 10 millimeters, low power and easy-op design. In the lower row on the left are Vic3D family with industrial and auto-grade devices supporting standard position and accuracy with that reckoning. DR is used for operation in poor genesis conditions like tunnels and urban canyon. ST offers that reckoning to fliers, draw that reckoning automotive way where odometer interface is connected to Vic3DA and draw that reckoning unplugged mode where Vic3DA operating independently with no connection to odometer. Overwrite shows Live4F, which has dual-band L1 plus L5 capability, for applications requiring high-level accuracy in the industrial, IoT and consumer markets. It doesn't support RTK nor that reckoning but provides much improved genesis accuracy over L1 only solutions. This product positioning map shows the relative capability of all our Teseo modules, respect to each other for two main aspects, precision also known as accuracy and power consumption. We will discuss the second, third and fourth quadrant first. Live3R in the second quadrant is ideal for applications where dual-constellation precision is desired without the need for a strict power budget. Live3FL in the third quadrant can operate in ultra low-power mode with standard precision. Live3FL in the fourth quadrant can operate with higher precision using configurable low-power mode. First quadrant shows devices Live3F, Vic3DA and Live4F that can operate with higher precision but less constrained by power requirements. Teseo Live3 and Vic3 provide an accuracy of 1.1 meter while Live4 devices provide 0.7 meter at CEP 50% open sky. Based on the previous product positioning slide, the market segment serves as a guidance to show the fit of the Teseo modules for various application needs. Starting from the left, for applications like livestock tracking that requires ultra low power, Live3FL operates in GNSS off-load mode. Here GNSS row data is sent to a cloud and position is computed off-site. Off-load is ideal for applications where the device primarily remains in standby mode and only needs a position fixed at 90 minutes or greater intervals. For people and per tracking that requires low power with accuracy, Live3FL can operate down to 1.8 volt and low operating current with industry-leading accuracy. Additionally, Live3FL offers ST autonomous assist GPS for quick time to first fix supple wake-up from standby. Live3R is a ROM-based GPS and Beidou low-cost positioning solution while providing compatible position accuracy as Live3F and Live3FL modules such as smart lighting or utility tracking. General asset tracking solutions like EV charging stations where standard accuracy is needed, Live3F can be used. Live3FL like Live3FL includes assist GPS or AGPS for quick time to first fix. In fact, in applications where Live3F is a fit, Live3FL can also be used if there is a strict power budget. Live4F is a dual-band low-power device that provides submitter accuracy, the high accuracy, fast update rate, and low power consumption makes this device ideal for drones and health and asset tracking applications in general. Big3Devices incorporates that reckoning rate of 30 hertz which provides high accuracy because of sensor fusion between IMU and GNSS. Availability of that reckoning makes it ideal for fit management applications, infotainment, and others. All the Live devices are pin-to-pin compatible, providing hardware design flexibility. There is also API compatibility between Live and Veeq devices, providing software flexibility and reuse. The evaluation boards, CVBs, are useful for feature and performance evaluation on a bench or in the field, and act as our reference design to guide your design a rapid prototyping. The XNUCLEO board is ideal for software development for customers, developing an STM32-based solution for which we have a very powerful ecosystem. The SEOSuite is a free Windows PC-based GUI tool that is extremely powerful and easy to use for GNSS evaluation and low-level control of module features. Stabilizer 1B is the newest asset-tracking solution in a small form factor. It integrates STM32-WL, STM32-WB, motion environmental sensors, Live3F, NFC, Blora, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and other communication ICs. The SR1B STM32-QB-MX component is integrated for faster software development using STM32-QB IDE. It is a compact reference design for fast prototyping and quickly moving into mass production for applications requiring these various technologies. I recommend you join us in the STGNSS community to share ideas and ask questions. Thank you for your time.

And www.st.com-gps for information about the TZO chip set offering. Thanks again. Bye.


Why are we surprised there were so many horse girls growing up when we were raised by one? Today I am so freaking excited because I'm finally doing a movie commentary, which I haven't done in like two weeks. And for some reason that seems like a really long time to me and we are kicking in old school. We're going to be watching one of my childhood favorite films. We are going to be watching the Hannah Montana movie. So without further ado, let's get started and watch the Hannah Montana movie starring Miley Cyrus and other people. Oh, yeah. No, cause this was, I'm like already screaming because this was so revolutionary. Like this is, I really hope they give like Olivia Rodrigo a movie like this because the kids need it. The kids really do need it. They need Olivia Rodrigo to have a movie like this about her character in high school musical, the series or whatever that freaking was. I don't know what it was, I've never seen it.  Can't get into her own concert. Okay, there's a major plot hole in Hannah Montana, by the way. I just have to point this out before I even continue on this video and it's about Billy Ray Cyrus because in the world of Hannah Montana, everyone knows Billy Ray Cyrus is Hannah Montana's songwriter, right? And then he's also Miley Cyrus' dad. And so just like, I don't know how people aren't connecting the dots. Like you always see Billy Ray Cyrus with Hannah Montana and then you also, all of her friends always see Billy Ray Cyrus. You know what I mean? Like someone could have connected the dots a lot sooner. And also that wig doesn't change anything about her. Yeah. I like that laugh. I freaking wanted that. Everything Hannah Montana had, I wanted.  Oh, she looks so good. I'm sorry, but the wig evolution for Hannah Montana was insane because look how good that looks. Hey, don't give me no lip. You're the one that wanted best of both worlds. That's so cute. Like literally Hannah Montana is so cute. Like this, I don't know, this is the relationship she has with her dad and like the best of those world concepts. She's just like, she's an international pop star but she's also got to do the dishes at night. And I feel like some of these celebrities nowadays like need to be humbled. Like Olivia Rodrigo, like, do you do the dishes at night? Or do you just hang out with the pattals? Apatals. Let's talk about that. Dude, this was sensational. You get the limo out front.  Like seeing Hannah Montana in such high quality is really amazing. You get the bag out the show, you get the... I'm kind of giving Hannah Montana right now. Like curly hair with the bangs, like I could be Asian Hannah Montana and that's really cool for me. I promise my girls I'd say hi to you for them. Hi. The most cursed image I can think of is that this character would be James Corden in this day and age. Like if Olivia Rodrigo, the movie came out, the soccer would be played by James Corden. And that's really disappointing. Sometimes I just wish I could be Hannah all the time. You and me both, kid. But she literally can. She could just dye her hair and she wouldn't have to worry about this living double lives. Do you know what I mean? Like the wig is really what gets her. Like the wig is really what gets her. Like the stage name is not really a problem because even Miley Cyrus, that's not even her real name. Most celebrities you know have stage names even if you think they're not stage names.  Cause when have you ever met another Meryl Streep? Exactly. Lily Sweet 16. Honestly, how dare Lily complain about, oh sorry, I'll get to it. But I was always kind of annoyed with Lily. You will never make it up to me. I'm sorry. People are probably like, why is Hannah Montana apologizing to Lily? And how does Lily know Hannah Montana? We have questions, a lot of questions that never get answered. She should have just called Lily and been like, hey, can you like sneak me in somewhere or something? There was a lot of options.  Like you could have easily, if you just went and been like, oh my God, I know Hannah Montana.  Like if you wanted the attention, girl, get the attention and go use those connections for some attention. Like really, like you could have just went up on stage. Hannah would have been like, come on Lily, let's come up on stage. Like, you're the birthday girl. I came here just for you. We're really close friends.  I will never forgive you for this. For what?  Hannah not going to New York is really not an option. Her name was Miley. And Miley will be back before she leaves. She's a superstar. I can get her private jet if she wants. I don't know why he's complaining about it when he's the one that let her do this all in the first place. You know what I mean? He let her arrange this. Like he let her be a superstar. And he was a superstar. So what's he complaining about?  Like, you were a celebrity too. Stop the truck. I'm not doing this. I wanna go home. Stop the truck. Stop the truck. I loved it that she had that voice crack all the time. Ask me again in two weeks. Right now let's just see if a country girl still exists. Two weeks. Think of it as a hand of detox.  Like he's a songwriter. He's a country music star. Girl don't even recognize her own horse. Now that truly is sad. Now that truly is sad. Blue jeans? Blue jeans?  I can't believe she did that. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm sorry. Let's get crazy. Oh. Wow. That smile dude.  Blue jeans doesn't really take well to strangers. Especially not dirty sparkly ones. He's so cute. I'm sorry. He was always so, like he literally like, he was the embodiment of like the childhood crush. Cause he was like in Hannah Montana. He was in you belong with me in Taylor Swift music video. And then a few years later, then he's in X-Men as freaking Havoc. And it's a continuous childhood crush that like continues on. You know what I mean? It's like, like he was a crush that I was like, I don't want to know anything about you. I don't have any need to know more about you. Cause I know if I find out more about you, you're not going to be my crush anymore. So you are literally just the characters in the movies. And that's how it all should be really. Like at a point we need to get to this point again where we can just be like, I don't need to know anything about you, Timothy Chalamet. I will just appreciate you from afar as a celebrity fan relationship should be. Okay? Okay. Miley? Miley? Miley?  It's genuine. I'm over it. Like the country accents in this are like, cause they give such a good sass to the characters that it makes it set. Like, I don't know. Am I strictly a professional opinion? I do believe that this movie has so much personality. And part of that reason is because it's like a country bumpkin movie. And I love it because like that country sass is just so, it adds so much personality to the characters rather than it just being like bland and like boring. I don't know. Just like the way she was standing, she's like mm. And then he's like, I'm over it. Like the country accent is going to come out of me just because I mirror what I see and I'm mirroring what they're doing. I practically saved her life surfing the other day. She owes me big time. We're like, we're like best friends. Why do they have so much tension? Like the romantic tension is through the roof. Like, I know she, oh, and he just lifted her. Like that's like actually insane. Like I'm screaming inside. Like 10 year old Trin is screaming right now. Oh my God. This is the pictures from Harry Potter. It's the mug shots from Harry Potter. They move. That's insane. I just miss my Miley. Why does everyone keep saying that? Maybe you should be asking yourself that question. But I don't know how these adults around her didn't think that she was going to have a crazy identity crisis when she got to more formative years. Like they're all criticizing her for being like a bratty like teenage pop star. But I'm like, first of all, teenagers are already bratty. She would have been bratty whether or not she was Hannah Montana or not. And also you put her in this predicament because you let her do it even though it's pretty common sense. It's pretty much common sense to believe that a child going through formative years and living two lives would have a major identity crisis when the time came and it would be explosive. Oh my God, look at him. I'm like not even gonna say what like thoughts just went through my mind because I really can't. How dare this movie? How dare this movie tell all of us that we could be a little country girl and find a cowboy and build a chicken coop with him? How dare they tell us that? Because if I go in this town, I'm not becoming a little country girl and meeting a cute farm boy. I'm gonna get verbally abused or something. Like I'm not gonna be accepted the way I want to be as a country girl. God, this movie is really good. And this looks exactly like Edward and Bella's honeymoon. So it's kind of insane how this scene is always forever embedded in our minds as the most romantic place to be. Waterfalls. We should probably get going. We don't wanna be late for the fundraiser. Damn. They're amazing. This movie is really good. Steady plot, interesting throughout the entire way, great character development, great character arc and acting great. Yeah, well maybe he's starting to main something again. Oh! Sorry. Ah! Down for this next song, if that's all right. That is fine by me. That is so fine by me, you know. I guess she would be crazy if she didn't. Can you guys be quiet? I'm trying to listen to T-Swift.  T-Swift. That, I can't believe Taylor Swift was in this movie. Like it really just, it levels it up. Like it really does level it up. Like you- Bring back country Taylor Swift. Bring her back because she's been, when the world needed her the most, she vanished. She vanished into shadows. I truly think if Taylor Swift came back and released a country album, the world would be better. The world would be a way better place. No, no, no, no, try, no. Just say you're gonna sing a Hannah Montana song. Do it. I literally dare you to sing a Hannah Montana song right now. Dude, you're not ready. You're not ready for this. It's embedded in my mind forever. There's so much knowledge from school, algebra. Left my mind, it's gone. It went in one ear out the other. That information has been separated and never used again. But the ho-down, throw-down stays in my mind. So don't you forget it, babes. In the sky, move side to side, jump to the left, stick it, glide, easy. She really livened up the party. But the thing is that people in the town are like, oh my God. She can sing? How did y'all not know this? But the thing is, it didn't even need to be Miley. That's the thing. Billy Ray knows Miley, or Billy Ray knows Hannah Montana. He writes her songs. He writes the songs. Everyone knows that. Billy Ray is famous. Like, why are we acting like the Jonas Brothers in the Hannah Montana show meet Billy Ray? And they're like, oh my God. Because they know who Billy Ray is. He's a kind of guy. Because they know who Billy Ray is. He's a country music star. So Billy Ray could call up Hannah Montana. Why does that have to be Miley? I have issues with this plot because people are just forgetting that Billy Ray knows Hannah Montana. That Hannah would be the guest of honor to Mayor's Big Lobster who thought tonight? Actually, Lily did. Actually, Hannah did. But I promised Travis. You know what?  This would have been a wonderful time for masks. I just don't know why she didn't tell him. He literally works on her grandma's barn. Like, just tell him. Just say, hey, babe, can we move it back? Like an hour or something? I got a dinner to go to. I'm helping out my dad with the mayor's dinner. There's many, many solutions to this.  You do know you only have one earring. Trindy LA thing. As a man, why would you point that out? As a man, why would you point out that I only have one earring on? The suspicious. I really should take this. I'm sorry. It'll just be a second. I swear. I'll probably get better reception in the back. Scenes like this are so, they're very frustrating when they don't have to be this way. Like when the situations at hand don't need to be like this. But I love them. I love them because it's just so much chaos and it's so, in a way, it builds suspense. It's a really good suspense builder if they're going to get caught or not. I love that. And I think I know some of the things you want to tell me. He has a very charming smile. I'm sorry. I want to tell you too. This is why I can't know anything more about him. I cannot know anything more about him because of that smile. Dude, wait. The scene that I can't even play it because it's so, I can't even continue on without saying a few words first. Can I just say, have a moment of silence and say a few words before the scene happens because, oh my God, it changed lives. The world shifted at this point.  Because all because of a little girl who couldn't mind her own business. This all happened because she couldn't mind her own business. Come on. The usage of the spinning door. Also, I have criticisms of it as well.  And she went around in this spinning door three times. How are you taking off your makeup and pulling off the wig and continuing to go through this door so many times? Like, she's been in there for eight minutes. For him, it's a really big moment. For the little girl, it's just like, oh my God. Hannah Montana has brown hair.  But for him, it's like, oh my God. Miley? Hannah, whoever you are, we're done. Bang. Travis. Travis. Travis, please, please. He's not being very understanding of the situation, might I add. I have to say he's not being that understanding or forgiving, in my opinion. And that little girl needs to mind her business. She's snooping in places she shouldn't be snooping. God, she was so talented. She is so talented. She's such a talented little young lady. That was everything. Dude, this is just, it is making me kind of want to cry right now, because it is just like, I don't know. This movie encompasses that inner child for me, for some reason. It's just very much like, wow, this was really my childhood, like watching this movie. And I don't know. Just growing up with Hannah Montana hit different. I'm sad for the people that don't have a Hannah Montana to grow up with. Do you know what I mean? I'm not the agent, I'm not the manager, I'm the grandma. I'm the real deal. But OK, she literally says that. She goes, I'm the grandma. Like, of who? Because at this point, we don't know you as Hannah Montana's grandma. You're Miley Stewart's grandma. What's not making sense? Like, I don't really know what's not clicking hand. Like, they're just saying they're like, I'm her best friend. Or like, I'm her grandma. I'm her daddy. Like, who? As far as we know, we don't know any of Hannah Montana's relatives, but you guys keep saying it. Right now, she just got in because she said she was a grandma of like, nobody. She just had a stage presence that was like no other. Come on. Sometimes I walk a little faster in the school hallway just to get next to you. And she could dance. Cut the music. Cut the track now. I can't do this. I don't want to save this town. I can't perform.   The last time I stood on this stage, I was six. I was just Miley.   And I still am. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I love it that the people that knew Miley are like, what the fuck?   I didn't mean to.  And why do we care? Life's a climb. But the view's great. This is my favorite song from the movie. Sorry, I know. It's the most popular one, but it's still my favorite. And it's so good. It's like aged so well. I can almost see it. That dream I'm dreaming but lost with no direction. Oh, my God. It's so good. It's actually so good. I got a team job. But she had to give the backup singers a song to learn. Like, they had to learn something. So they knew something crazy was about to happen. And the band had to know, too. It does sound like a church anthem, though. It is giving, like, worship. Maybe they're onto something with worship music. Maybe they're onto something. I will keep the faith, though. Was this Christian propaganda the entire time? Was this religious propaganda the entire time? Did we grow up on religious propaganda? Yes. Please be Hannah. We'll keep your secret. No, you won't.   And they're like, we'll keep your secret. It's like, no, you won't. Like, that was more realistic in Spider-Man because it was only a train full of people. This is a whole venue. This is a whole, there's press. It's a charity event.    Put the wig back on now or else. Put the wig back on or else something bad's going to happen.  Now you're like, put the wig back on. Uh, rule that crush I had on you and I said I was over it. Yeah. So not over it. Okay. Oh my god. This song is so good. It literally, I used to listen to this on my way to school, in high school. You wake up, it's rainy and it's Monday. It looks like it's one of those rough days. You can change your hair and you can change your clothes. You can change your mind. That's just the way it goes. You can say goodbye and you can say hello. Cause you always find your way back home. You can change your style. You can change your dream. You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams. But you'll always find your way back. Oh my god. She's getting it.  Committing murder as Hannah means that I can get away with it as Miley.  Like you call it like what it is. It's a good movie. Today's video is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

Hey everybody, Dr. Rowe here. In this video we're going to talk about the Kirby Bauer Distifusion Method, one of the most important labs that are done in the microbiology lab and obviously very important clinically as well. So, here you see an example of the Kirby Bauer Distifusion Method. So what you do is you create, I love the term, you put a confluent lawn of organisms on a plate. Now that means you're going to cover the entire plate. Use you when you as students are working with plates, we're doing streak plates or poor plates. We're trying to spread bacteria out and separate them. In this case, you want to cover the entire plate with microbes. So you spread a confluent lawn. What I have students do is rather than using a wire loop, they'll use cotton tip applicators and coat the entire surface of a plate with organisms. Now, we use known organisms, samples that I make for them.   We're looking for these clear areas, what are known as zones of inhibition. So how large of an area around one of these paper discs is there no microbial growth? And that will tell us a few things, but just so you know, just having a zone of inhibition, it doesn't tell us everything we need to know and the size matters. So first of all, we have to standardize this. That's why we use special plates. I have another image I can show you, I'll kind of bounce back and forth. We use special plates. You see the MH there, they're called Mueller-Hinton plates. And even the thickness of the plate matters. So we use double thickness Mueller-Hinton auger plates. And then these zones of inhibition, once you actually measure them, we have to compare them to these charts. So we have data tables that say for this antibiotic and this organism, this width, this size of zone of inhibition means that it's sensitive and it works. If it's smaller than that, it might be intermediate, which means it sort of works, or it might be resistant. So there's tons of factors that go into play here. So just looking at a plate and saying this zone of inhibition is the biggest, this means it's the one that works the best is not actually true. It also won't tell you if it kills the microbes, if it's bactericidal or just inhibits their growth, bacteriostatic. So certainly there are some weaknesses here, but I find it's a pretty effective laboratory tool to teach students how some antibiotics will work better than others. Here we see just as an example of these same four antibiotics clearly work a lot better against Staphylococcus aureus than they do against pseudomonas. So that's not uncommon. Generally in the lab, we will use Staph aureus, we'll use E. coli, we'll use pseudomonas and maybe Proteus vulgaris, just kind of a random assortment. But this is pretty common here. So all right, so that is the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and how it can be used in a laboratory as well as a clinical setting. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day, be blessed.


Welcome back to Drinks Made Easy. Today we're taking a look at the Scotch Manhattan variation called the Rob Roy. Now this was created in 1894 by Sumbar Tender at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. You don't know it, could have been him. Anyway, this cocktail was created in honor of Rob Roy, a new operetta that came out that year based loosely on the life of Scottish outlaw, Rob Roy McGregor. And without any further ado, let's make a cocktail. To build the Rob Roy, you'll start with two dashes of Angostura bitters. Next, you'll add the Scotch of your choice. Now when I'm working in the bar, I get a lot of different variations of this. I personally prefer a heavily peated Scotch or you can go with a heavily shared Scotch if you want something sweeter. But this is a great cocktail to really vary up what you like or your guests likes in terms of their Scotch preference. Next, we'll add one ounce of sweet vermouth. Give it a quick stir. And in a certain cocktail like this, this is a key example of something you really should be strawing. Just a light stir, straw to see where the flavors are. If the alcohol and the vermouth haven't really integrated, stir it a little bit more. We're gonna be changing the flavors as we add more dilution. So this is where strawing really comes into play because if you just pour it out, you're never gonna really know what the flavor profile is of your drink. Remember, this is food. So just like a chef, you need to test your food to make sure it's where it's supposed to be. So are you shaming your chef? Yeah, liquid chef. Yeah, it's food. And once you've reached your desired dilution, pour it into the coupe or glass of your choice. Now a lot of people will get snooty sometimes about the glass you put it into. Just have fun. And a great little tip is go to your local Goodwill or thrift store because oftentimes you can find glasses there for just a couple of bucks that realistically should be $20 to $50, especially if it's an antique glass. This, for example, is just an antique champagne coupe, which I think I paid a dollar for. I mean, it's where you found me. True story. Garnish with a cherry. And as easy as that, you've got your rob Roy. So just to recap, to make the rob Roy Manhattan, you'll use two dashes of Angostura bitters, two ounces of the Scotch of your choice, one ounce of sweet vermouth, stir until you've reached your desired dilution, strain to the glass of your choice, add a look, Sardo cherry. And easy as that, you've got the rob Roy Manhattan.


Let's talk about magnetic field energy, how much energy is stored in a magnetic field and also let's derive an expression for that. And I'll also talk about why this concept is truly, truly special. Alright, I want to keep the math simple. So let's start off with a familiar setter and that of a charged inductor. Let's say that there is a current I flowing through this inductor. Now we can ask ourselves, what is the energy stored in this inductor? We have actually derived that expression and the expression looks like this. The energy stored in the inductor is half into the self-inductance of this solenoid into I square, current square. We can also think about where is this energy really stored in the inductor? Why don't you pause the video and think about it? Alright, since we know that there is current flowing in the inductor and this is current flowing in the coils, it will produce a magnetic field and the magnetic field would look like this. So the energy in an inductor is actually stored in the magnetic field, magnetic field within the coil. Just as the energy of a capacitor is stored in the electric field between the plates. Now because we are interested in figuring out the magnetic field energy, we need to bring in that factor somehow in this equation. So maybe pause the video and think about how we can include or insert the factor of magnetic field in this expression. Alright, we know that inductor is basically a solenoid and it has current going through it so it produces its magnetic field lines. So this magnetic field line, this must have a strength of its own and that could be a way of inserting the factor of B in our expression. Now magnetic field due to solenoid, this is given by, this is given by this expression right here, mu naught n i divided by L. Here L, L is the length of the solenoid. Alright so we can write i in terms of B and maybe put that here. But we also have this self-inductance and we did learn one expression about self-inductance for a solenoid which looked like this, mu naught n square A divided by L. Now it has some common terms, it has L, it has N, so maybe in place of L, let's write this expression and see what we arrive at. But firstly let's keep i on one side and everything is on the other side to figure out what can we substitute. Let's write current in the form of B, so this will be i equals to capital B into L divided by mu naught into N. So let's put in this i, this i right over here and let's put in this L, the self-inductance right over here. That will make the energy as half into mu naught N square A divided by L and into i square, this is not just i, this is i square, so all of this gets squared and when we do that that becomes B square into L square divided by mu naught square into N square. Now we can see that couple of things get cancelled right away. This N square just gets cancelled and one power of mu naught also goes away, one power of L also goes away. So let's rearrange this and when we do that this becomes half into B square divided by mu naught into A into L. Now A into L is nothing but the volume of this solenoid. This is the volume where the magnetic field is present in or residing it. One assumption goes here, that assumption is that we are assuming that the magnetic field is zero outside the volume of the solenoid or extremely extremely weak outside the volume of the solenoid and all the magnetic field that there is is just inside the solenoid. We can think of this magnetic field energy as residing in the volume that is enclosed by the windings which is AL. So this factor right here is that is the volume and when we take this factor to the left hand side what do we get? We get the magnetic field energy U divided by the volume and this is equal to half into B square divided by mu naught. Now energy divided by volume what can we call this? We know we used to write mass divided by volume and that give us density that is the density of matter. Here energy divided by volume would be energy density. So this we can write this as energy density and this is particularly magnetic field energy density which is given by half into B square divided by mu naught. The units of this would be joules per meter cube and we have done something similar before but for electric fields so for that we used we used a capacitor and we try to figure out the energy of electric field, the energy density of electric field which came out to be as epsilon naught E square by 2. If we try and compare these two energy densities there is some interesting things that come up. So firstly we can see that there is there is a factor of half common and we can also see that both the energy field densities they depend on the square of the field. This one depends on E square and this one depends on B square. We can also see that the constants epsilon naught usually in all the relations in electric field usually it comes in the denominator it comes below but here it is upwards and over here mu naught in magnetic field like we can see over here and here usually it comes in the numerator but this is in the denominator. Also in the case of electric field this represents the work that the battery does to arrange the charges in some way and in this case it represents the work done by the battery to get a current of I going through an inductor and it takes work because the inductor opposes the building up of current it opposes any change. So there is some sort of a parallel between them even from the lens of work done and when you study electromagnetic waves you will realize that one is just the other. These two energy densities are exactly equal to each other. Lastly why I feel this relation is truly special because have a look at this. This is this is half into B square divided by mu naught. There is no self inductance there is no current. So this is a general expression of the magnetic field energy density. It doesn't matter if you take an inductor or a wire or just a bar magnet and you try to measure the magnetic field energy density created due to that you can still rely on the same expression. It does not really depend on any source. For instance if you had a ball if you had a ball moving to the right with a velocity V and it had a kinetic energy of half mv square it wouldn't matter whether this ball got this kinetic energy from someone who kicked this ball or the ball rolled down the hill. If you see this at one instant it has a kinetic energy of half mv square. You do not really know what the source is but you can still calculate the kinetic energy using this regardless of what the source is just like over here. Also it completely blows my mind that the energy is in the fields energy is in vacuum. There is nothing in the air but there is energy present in the air because of magnetic field lines which is just truly special for me.
