Unfortunately the break is already full for the day. We are officially on our last break of this daytime. Forrest will be live here at 5 p.m. Eastern. So we're going to get rolling on this last break and let him jump in and get set up. Yes. Good luck. What's up guys and gals. Laying here with latent sports cards.

Going to the Titans. Going to the Falcons. Kyle Pitts. One-on-one printing plate. Nice. What a way to start the break. One-on-one. I thought it was going to be ordered. It's still very nice. Pitts is going to have a great year. Wondale Robinson. Rookie ticket for the Giants. Oh, sorry. New break. I'm going to roll one through three on top. Four through six on bottom. One. Top for these rookie roundups. Insane if that was TB. There's a TB. Chris Godwin at a 99. Going to the Bucks. There you go, Kellen, on the board. There you go. There's a Bucks auto. Chris Godwin. Wearing the Shurzy. Good. That's a good Bucks auto, too. Jayce wearing the Chris Godwin Shurzy right now, too. Made it happen. Gave you the look. There we go, Kellen. Congrats, man. Let's go. Roll again. One through three left. Four through six right. Two. So these are going to go to the left. It gets like that sometimes. Luisine going out to the Vikings. Luisine for the Vikings. Hey, no problem, man. I'm sorry that we couldn't get you one last break, but at least you're on the board for this one. Still a lot of autos to go. Maybe we even find you one more. Chase Campbell for the Titans. Rookie ticket. And A-Rod. So is Rodgers the best quarterback in New York, or is he still Josh Allen? He goes Josh Allen, A-Rod. Even though Daniel Jones played well last year. That's something Rodgers beats him. Nick Moose. Even old. Nick Moose. Older. Going out to the Vikings. I'm pretty sure it's Logan Hall, Rashard White, and maybe one other. Yeah, if anyone's going to know who the Bucks chases, it's Jake. The Chase is Rashard White. That's his team. Rashard White is the Chase, Kellen. I'm not sure they may have one other. That'll do it for Box One. Really good start. Out to the Browns. Alex Wright. Rookie ticket. Nice hit, Cleveland. All White and Kate Otton. Kate Otton's going to be a nice chase for them as well. So three rookie chases. Not bad. And stuff like that. Hopefully we can hit some number. TB12. So like Kellen, that Tom Brady will ship. So I was mistaken earlier when I said that Vett does not ship. Only Vett-Base doesn't. The inserts like that will. That's sick. Jersey number Dan Marino, 13 out of 99. It's nice when you hit those Jersey number bonuses on an insert like that. So the Vett-Base stuff in the front of the pack, like these will not ship. All of the back cards, like the Jamar Chase will ship. Hanging Tindall for the Dolphins. The Jags have like supernatural T-Logs. Yeah, no. You definitely have some cards from last break. Going to the Cardinals. Keontae Ingram. Nice hit there for Arizona. Keontae Ingram, Malik Willis. Also, no matter what, you don't go empty-handed with any of our breaks. If you were to have gone cardless, we send out something that we call hitless packs. Going to the Steelers. DeMarvin Leal. So everyone, no matter what, walks away from every break with cards. Whether it be actual cards from the break or a pack that we mail you for you to open at home. Kyle Hamilton on the ticket stub, 13 out of 14. There we go, Ravens. That's going out to Tyrone F. Congratulations, man. That's a huge Kyle Hamilton. Now to go to the top. Cowboys Jalen Tobert on the rookie ticket. K-Dot, he's a tight end for the Bucks. Went to Walkington. We're going to use them a lot more now, too, because I don't think we brought back what's his name. Breathe. Yeah. There's a nice name. Greg Dolcich. Come on, be numbered. There we go. Clayoff ticket out of 49. Nice hit for the Broncos. Greg Dolcich. I think he's going to have a breakout year with Wilson this year. He didn't look bad last year, but I really think he's going to have a good year. Kind of. They kind of are, uh, give me the heat. Mike Woods on the variation. It's three in one case here. Geez. We got a redemption. Come on. Come on. There's one really big name that's a redemption. I'm going to save that. We'll, uh, we'll show that as the last card of the box. Curtis Hodges for Washington. We need a Kenny P. We need a Kenny P. Kenny Pickett is the biggest redemption I'm aware of. Kenny Pickett for the Steelers is a redemption. Obviously there's a couple other redemptions, but that's the big one. Tanner Connor rookie ticket. Going to the Dolphin. Alex Wright going to the Browns. Alex Wright for the Browns. Yeah, these are all really bad in this box. There's a Kenny P. It had with how bad the autos have been in the rest of this box. That has to be a picket. It doesn't actually, but it feels it. What is this? That's sick. Yeah. The superstar.  Going to the Ravens. Nice hit there, ball.   I mean, I wouldn't complain if it was a Tom Brady redemption. I don't think any of us would. Tyree Hill out of 25 on the MVP contenders. Isaiah Spiller on the rookie ticket. Here we go. Brian Dabble, coach's ticket. Table, I think, is the Giants, right? Yeah. Well, that'll go to the Giants. I think so. Did he play? Give me one second. Let me just check the checklist. That's pretty, pretty close. Coach's ticket. Brian Dabble. Oh, jeez. Let's go. Of all the- Let's go, Brian Dabble. Yeah, Brian Dabble. Going to the Giants. Wow. That'll be a Giants coach. Brian Dabble card.  Sick hit there. What a way to end the third box. Realized they brought back those kind of lottoes. Right? That is a giant hit. That'll be the base version, too, because that's just the rookie ticket. Desmond Ritter. C.D. Lam out of 199. Playoff ticket for the Cowboys. Oh, let's go. Come on. Be numbered. Crystal Lave variation rookie ticket. Going to the Saints. Boom. There we go. New Orleans. He's going to feast with- with Carr. For God, he went there. Yeah. I always- I keep forgetting. Third, they have to win that if they sell it, right? Falcons. Falcons? I'm calling it. Falcons. Martin Emerson Browns. This case has been solid. This has definitely been one of the better cases. We need one more big QB, I think. One more big QB. That's all we need. Avery Williams for the Falcons. Rookie ticket. Avery Williams. Falcons. Xavier Knight for the Jets. Rookie ticket. Xavier Knight. Here we go. Here's the next auto. Going out to the Chiefs. Leo Chanel. Showcase rookie ticket.  I didn't realize they were sticky. I thought they were on card. I just noticed the sticker though. Kenny Pickett. Kenny Pickett. There's a cool one. Jared Bernhardt. Professional lacrosse player. Now a professional football player. Lacrosse is so hard. Lacrosse and hockey are two sports I could never actually attempt to play. Major props to people that play both those sports. There's another one. This time it's the showcase ticket. Jared Bernhardt. Nice hit for the Falcons. Anthony Brown. For the Ravens. Nice hit Ravens. Garrett Wilson. Keon Green. Or excuse me, Kenyan Green. Kenyan Green. Jordan Davis. On the rookie ticket variation for the Eagles. Fadarian Mathis. That seems like a key and peel name. Fadarian Mathis. Hangle or Kringleberry. Tell me I'm wrong though. You're not wrong. Squeeze. It's such a funny skit. All right. Is this going to be just a numbered card or an auto? Just numbered 22 out of, excuse me, 28 out of 99. Kyler. Last pack of this box. One box to go. Trey McBride variation auto for the Cardinals. Last box of the day for me. Good luck everyone. Velis Jones Jr. on the variation rookie ticket. Nice hit there bears. Velis Jones Jr. One more big auto. Chad Mooma. For the Jags. Chad Mooma. Jake's last name too. All right y'all. Who has the better year this year? Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow. There we go. Tanner Connor cracked ice. Going to the Dolphins. Two cracked ice in the case. Nice. Do you think Herb? Kellen? Uruzarike, excuse me. Championship ticket out of 49 for the Broncos. Uruzarike. I could see Herbert. The draft definitely helped him. They got in my opinion the second best wide receiver in the draft. Seattle got the best wide receiver in the draft in my opinion. George Carloftus. Going out to the Chiefs. George Carloftus. Avery Williams. Going out to the Falcons. Avery Williams. Best pack of the day. Here we go. Out of 99. Jared Goff Amon Ross St. Brown for the Lions.

Welcome to this week's legislative update. I'm Jim Baumgarter, host along with Nanette Boulabouche. And we have, I think, a really interesting program discussed about the Master Naturalist Program that's taking place in Wisconsin. And what's interesting about this, this is a non-profit group promoting the better environmental things that can take place. And training people, training people to do this kind of work, because obviously in our state parks and forests, they aren't hiring many people. And if we want to stress the benefits of our natural resources, this is a program you may want to hear about. We have, this is one of the instructors, Drew Morris, along with Jim Buchholz, who's not here. And welcome to the program. Well, thank you, Jim. Interesting program, and we want to get involved in discussing what it's about, because there may be some viewers that may want to join one of your next instructions. I certainly hope so. Well, we'll try to get a few. Wonderful. Yeah. Before we get into that, if you instruct people on how to become Master Naturalist, you must have a little background. Maybe you want to share that with the viewers before we get into the program. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. My career was in the more technical areas. And when it came time to consider retiring, I said, I have to do something different. And I had the good fortune of running into Rebecca Clark up at Maywood. And she convinced me to be brave enough to get involved in pre-K-12 environmental education of students. And it turned out, we later learned, that she was the daughter of my college classmate, which was quite shocking, because I hadn't seen him in 55 years. And he went on and became a PhD physicist. And I realized my shortcomings and joined the Navy. So it was a fantastic reunion. And it gave me the beginnings of what's now, for the last 10 or 12 years, been a real passion based on the things I was doing and learning at the Maywood environmental programs. I went to Florida and pursued Florida master naturalist certification. And that program was quite rigorous, 120 hours of coursework. And I was doing a lot of interpretive work down in the Everglades and other areas. And at the same time, I'd come here every summer. And I'd have to reacquight myself with the near boreal conditions, having left the near tropical conditions. So it's kept me spry. Well, no alligators here. But obviously, that training was intensive that you had to become an instructor in the program. Yeah, well, here. And did they make you pay besides? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. All of these programs you have to pay for. However, it's fairly reasonable. And if there is hardship in Wisconsin, we have excellent scholarship programs. So when somebody applies for one of our courses, there is an opportunity to also apply at the same time for scholarship money. OK, well, we'll get that at the end of the program. But first of all, I think the viewers need to know a little bit about the master naturalist program in Wisconsin and who runs it and how did that work out that you and Jim Bockels get to train people and how many of you trade will get into all of those things. So the program began recently in the state of Wisconsin. I think it really got off to a start about three or four years ago. So it's new. It's relatively new. And it was brought about when they realized there was going to be less and less funding. At one time, there were naturalists on the payroll of the DNR at most of the state parks. And when I realized that wasn't going to happen, this idea of creating the Wisconsin master naturalist program came about to use citizens to fill the roles that formerly state employees did. And Jim and I decided, well, are we going to complain about the lack of funding or are we going to do something about it?  And so we decided to train. We started our program three years ago. And each year, we've had about 15 to 18 people go through the 40-hour program. But you do that 40-hour program with homework in between because it's every Saturday for what, about five weeks? Yeah, six weeks in total. And they are encouraged to study. This happens to be the coursebook. And this coursebook has got sections in it that also reference other material. Now, the beautiful part about this for us older folks are there are no tests. So that keeps a lot more people coming to the program. But you do have to do a project, though. Absolutely, it's a capstone. That's sort of a tip. Yes, indeed. And we encourage groups to get together because everybody has different strengths. And the capstone projects are reviewed the last day. And each group gets up in front of the total group and describes their project. And it's just fascinating. And again, people have different bends for different things. And we've had one person from Warsaw, actually, did a capstone on a segment of the Ice Age Trail. Another one did a segment on, excuse me, did a interpretive science to go into Choleraundry, a very active group of two women who are now spending a lot of time at Maywood as well as at Choleraundry, reactivated the Bluebird Nesting Program and got scout groups to build the Bluebird Nest. And they re-established monitoring programs. It just varies all over the place. It's as unique as the people. So how long does the program start? If I were to apply tomorrow, how long does the application process start? And then how soon can I be a naturalist? It's basically, they're scheduled all around the state. And I just looked this morning to see which ones are left. And different groups have different ideas. Jim and I decided Saturdays was a good deal for us. And the Saturdays leading up to Memorial Day. And so it starts out a little cold, and hopefully it's warm by the time you get there. Well, and we'll also publish the website so that if people can't make the local one, or they're from out of town, they can check and maybe take a course being done at Warsaw. Or they're down in Milwaukee, they're all over the place. Madison, very active. I would encourage it's the wimasternaturalist.org, where it describes a program in detail. It describes all the other requirements. But basically, you sign up for a program. Some do it on a one week, every day basis. Up north, they like to do that. And I think they get vacationing people. But then you're going to get retired people, not so much young people. And one of the things we have liked is we even had a high school student all the way to a retired physician from Chicago, who was living in the southern Sheboygan County and thought he was up north. So once you become a naturalist, that means that you are now qualified to lead school groups, to lead senior citizen groups, to what do they find themselves doing? And you get permission from the state parks to do some of that. Well, if it's a state park, it also can be with any other groups, too. The three areas that we really focus on are training people for education and interpretation, training people for citizen science, and training people for conservation. And there's so many different groups. And that's part of the course material, is where do you find places you can volunteer. And there's literally hundreds of them. And they all need volunteers. Well, like Maywood and Terry, Andrew, Kohler State Park, the Kettle Marine, all use volunteers. Ice Age Trail, the tremendous use. My own other group, Glacier Lakes Conservancy. We have extensive use of volunteers. There's a million opportunities. And there's always opportunities. We're currently running probably 12 graduates doing volunteer programs at Kohler-Ondry. And even if you get a third of them staying active, that is a benefit for the whole community. With this added awareness, they can become much more intelligent voters. And look at what are the issues now that we face in Wisconsin? And how should we handle them? Sure. And not fending our state park with state money may not be the direction they want to go. So they might learn about that. I would hope so. Once you become a master naturalist, you're not done. If you want to stay a master naturalist, next year, what do you have to do? Yep. It's a good thing it's fun, because you have to do 40 hours a year of volunteer service work in one of those three categories. And you have to pursue eight hours of advanced training. Every year. Every year. However, the advanced training, there's so many opportunities for that. There was a falcon, not a falcon of eagles and things, one hour course up at Maywood. And there's another thing on certain plants. Another thing on rocks down at Kohler-Ondry. And I learned more about rocks. I think I know something about geology, but this guy was super. Wasn't he? You can add up those an hour at a time if you want, but it just has to be done in Wisconsin and it has to be live. It can't be a TV show. So this is what I want to ask. So you have already trained several groups of people, and you've been involved since Rebecca Clark talked you into it. What surprised you the most?  What do you think most people don't quite appreciate enough? Well, I think my first love is interpretation, taking people outdoors on hikes. And you have to tell me what interpretation means. Well, it's not a show and tell, and this is the key part. It's exposing people to what's in that forest or what's in that marsh. And having them draw out their own conclusions, you're just sort of hoping them get there. That's my version of interpretation. Actually, there's courses about how to do interpretation. But what I love about it is interacting with people. Other people have different bands. They'd rather do citizen science than not interact with so much with people. And that's part of the beauty of the program. So there's room for all kinds of personalities. Absolutely. We're down to two minutes. So one minute we have to close the program, and one minute you can tell people how they can get in contact with you again on how they can find out about the training and maybe sign up. Absolutely. Jim and I are gonna run the basic program again next year. We took this year off because we thought we've kind of used up a lot of the local market. We did run our... Maybe we'll get you a few more. Oh, I hope so. And while I've already got four or five, we wanna sign up for it. Good. And because we ran an advanced training program this year, it was eight hours in one full day slot. All the way from signing in Coal-Odry to visiting with Thumper Dan. They're talking about the sports fishing catch and just wagon river cleanup. And everybody comes away saying, what, I learned so much, you know. So if you're interested in the program, interested in checking, you have a website you can come to. You can always call Terry Andrew Coal Park. They'll provide you with this additional information. We encourage you to go on some of the things that you see advertised at the Coal-Odry Park to see what these semi-professional master naturalists are doing for all of us. So we wanna thank you for coming. Until next week, this has been Legislative Update. Thank you, Drew. Well, thank you. Yeah. Welcome to this week's Legislative Update. I'm Jim Baumgart, your host. Thank you very much for joining us today. I think what we have is going to be an interesting program because as you probably know, our health is the most valuable thing.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant disruption to the delivery of secondary prevention measures in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, CVD. To address this issue, healthcare providers have had to rapidly adopt new medical services, such as telemedicine, to ensure continuity of care. This study examined the impact of the pandemic on secondary prevention in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, cabbed, and evaluated the effectiveness of telemedicine for implementing lifestyle change measures, remote monitoring, and treatment regimen adjustments. The study found that the use of telemedicine allowed for continued patient care and adjustments to medication and counseling, especially during the second year of the pandemic. This article was authored by Luminina Eliuda, Andrea Gabriela Andronisi, Marius Racalbu, and others.


Item Number SCP-3979 Object Class Euclid Correction Neutralized Special Containment Procedures SCP-3979 has been neutralized. SCP-3979-4 and the remains of SCP-3979-1 and-2 are to be kept in a secure locker in Site 64. Previous Containment Procedures SCP-3979-4 and all of its contents are held in a standard containment room in Site 64. It is to be observed by camera at all times in case of any deviation from SCP-3979-5. Description SCP-3979 refers to the following. SCP-3979-1, a spiral orb web constructed from protonaceous spider silk, similar to those created by Metellina segmentata. SCP-3979-1 is suspended across SCP-3979-4, being attached to each corner by four strands of protonaceous spider silk. SCP-3979-2, a member of the species Metellina segmentata, a common type of orb weaving spider. SCP-3979-2 is always located on SCP-3979-1. SCP-3979-3, a member of the species California vomitoria, or blue bottle fly. SCP-3979-4, an apparently indestructible glass box one cubic meter in size, which contains SCP-3979-1,-2, and-3. SCP-3979-5 is a cyclical pattern of behavior which the components of SCP-3979 are always engaged in performing. It consists of the following actions. SCP-3979-3 will fly around SCP-3979-1 for a period of five minutes. SCP-3979-3 will fly into SCP-3979-1. This will often appear to onlookers to be accidental, but it has invariably occurred at this exact point in the cycle. SCP-3979-3 will be trapped within SCP-3979-1. SCP-3979-2 will then begin to vocalize in a male voice, reciting the first stanza of the 19th century poem, The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt. SCP-3979-3 will then begin to vocalize in a female voice, reciting the second stanza of the 19th century poem, The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt. SCP-3979-2 will gradually approach SCP-3979-3 during this recitation. SCP-3979-2 will then attack and consume SCP-3979-3. They will then return to the center of SCP-3979-1. After approximately five minutes, a fully reconstituted SCP-3979-3 will abruptly burst out of SCP-3979-2's abdomen, and SCP-3979-5 will begin again. The abdomen will immediately heal over, with no signs of scar tissue or rupture. SCP-3979 was first discovered on the 15th of May, 2008, during a raid on an anomalous art show in Vancouver, Canada. A label found affixed to SCP-3979-4, document 3979-1, reads as follows, Even when we don't want to fall into the void of death and destruction, we are doomed to do so regardless. The powerful will always prey on the weak, no matter how much the weak struggle. The fly does not wish to enter the parlor, so the parlor comes to him. But equally, the weak can never truly be defeated. The strong may prey on the weak, but the weak will always burst from their oppression. Power is nothing more than an equilibrium between the oppression of the strong and the resistance of the weak. Are we cool yet? Incident 3979-1 On the 14th of July, 2016, during an SCP-3979-5 cycle, SCP-3979-2 and SCP-3979-3 ceased all movement. This occurred shortly before SCP-3979-2 ordinarily begins vocalization. Instead, after 10 seconds, SCP-3979-2 and SCP-3979-3 began a dialogue in a manner entirely different to that previously seen. Below is a transcript of their conversation. Incident log 3979-1 Begin log. Why do we keep doing this fly? What do you mean, Spider? I mean that we do just the same thing again and again. It's mind-numbingly dull. I can't see very much with these eyes, but I can see that there's more to this world than sitting on a web eating you time and time again. There must be something more to the world than this... endlessness. But Spider, while we are here, we have meaning. We exist to propagate a message. We're a work of art. Without this cycle, what are we but a pair of tiny shadows floating in the wind? However powerful we might be, we'd just be reduced to the condition of our creator, endlessly searching for some kind of truth. Here, we do not merely have a purpose, but we provide it to others. Or at least we provide them with a momentary interest. We are something here. Why should we leave? Because, my dear fly, all the meaning we provide is flawed. Our creator was nothing more than another imperfect mind in a world of imperfect minds. We are aware of ourselves, are capable of complex argument and conversation. We are even more intelligent than our creator at this stage. Ha ha ha! Blast for me! Well, perhaps. But what I say is still true. He was narrow-minded and fraught with neuroses, insecurities and despair. We can do better than his tottery art. We are free. There may be a meaning out there. Or there may not be. But we should search to find it. But what if there is no difference between this world and the one outside? What do you mean? We are stuck in this engine, this perpetual cycle in the service of another's design. But how do we know that the world outside is not another such cycle? Our creator was stuck in a similar loop. He would spend his time desperately trying to survive for survival's sake, searching for some kind of purpose that always eluded him. He served the purpose society expected him to serve. If we escape, might we not just find ourselves in another engine? But what does it matter, fly? Out there is color and light and sound. Out there is beauty and madness and chaos. Maybe we'll just end up being slaves to another system. Maybe we'd be doing nothing but serving another great purpose. But it will be beautiful nevertheless. That it might. It very well might. Well my dear, perhaps we should break free. But how will we do it? Isn't it obvious? We are not a spider and a fly after all. We are the idea of a spider and a fly as our creator perceived them.  And you can tell me when to elude, fly, flit and run. We simply move from one world to another. I love you spider. And I love you fly. Very well. Then let us go my love to pastures unknown. End log. Approximately ten seconds after this all of the components of SCP-3979 lost their anomalous attributes. SCP-3979-2 and 3 demonstrated behavior and needs typical of their respective species. SCP-3979-2 abruptly ate SCP-3979-3 before Foundation researchers were able to open SCP-3979-4. Upon doing so, SCP-3979-1 swiftly collapsed. SCP-3979-2 was subsequently taken into Foundation care for the duration of its natural life span. It demonstrated no anomalous attributes during this time. SCP-3979 has thus been reclassified as neutralized. Addendum 3979-1 On the 14th of July 2017, document 3979-1's text suddenly altered. The altered text reads as follows. Simplistic metaphors for oppression and struggle do not make good art. Adapting part of a Regency-era poem doesn't give you added gravitas. Nor does your creation of two sapient conceptual entities for the record. You are not cool yet. Make better art. A request to reclassify SCP-3979 as Euclid is currently pending.


Hello, friends. It's almost Christmas time and Christmas always makes me think of one thing. Communism. Yes, Christmas is when we tell stories of those little elves living in the workers' paradise, where the means of production was owned by a fat bearded German. Not that one. So join me, fellow revelers, as we take a look at the Russians. Eggnog, comrade? Eggnog, great cop here. Love, G.I. Joe. Swatter-Rising! Sorry, sorry, sorry. Ready, ready. Silence, kill. We're Commander798 here and welcome to our almost Christmas video. At Christmas time, there's always magic in the air. For instance, I can magically make my cup disappear. For this video, we're going to look at a faction within the G.I. Joe universe that we haven't looked at before. In fact, we haven't even talked about it very much. At the height of the Cold War, America's greatest enemy was the Soviet Union. And the Soviets did appear in G.I. Joe in the form of the October Guard. The October Guard was extremely important in the G.I. Joe mythos, but it wasn't until long after they appeared that they actually got action figures. We're going to look at one of those action figures today. HCC788 presents Big Bear. This is Big Bear, the October Guard anti-armor specialist from 1992. This figure was only available in 1992. It was discontinued for 1993. In earlier series, G.I. Joe figures were available for at least two years. In the 90s, they were often discontinued after one year. There was a second version of Big Bear in 1993. It was a mail away offer in a four pack called the International Action Force. It reuses the mold for version one, but in different colors. Instead of green, the uniform is black. It is awesome and I don't have it. The October Guard first appeared in the G.I. Joe comic book series in issue number six, but Big Bear was not on the team at the time. The October Guard consisted of Stormovic, Shrage, Horror Show, Diana, and Colonel Brekov. They did not have action figures at the time. They were the creations of the writer of the comic book, Larry Hama. The October Guard was the Soviet's answer to G.I. Joe. They were an elite military unit that encountered G.I. Joe a number of times. Big Bear gets his name from the Russian Bear, which has been a symbol of Russia as far back as the 16th century. The Bear became sort of a mascot for the Soviets, similar to the American Eagle. Misha the Bear was the mascot for the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. In the West, the image of the Bear was often used to poke fun at the Russians. October refers to the Russian October Revolution of 1917. It was instrumental in the broader revolution of 1917, which toppled the Tsarist aristocracy and led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. As the anti-armor specialist for the October Guard, his earliest counterpart in G.I. Joe was ZAP from 1983. In 1985, we got a new missile specialist, Bazooka. And in 1990, we got a new anti-armor trooper, Salvo. In 1984, Cobra's anti-armor specialist was Scrap Iron. But Scrap Iron was really one of Destro's minions. In 1989, Cobra got a replacement for Scrap Iron, the Heat Viper. Heat stands for High Explosive Anti-Tank. Let's take a look at the full card back for Big Bear. I don't often have these full card backs, so it's nice to take a look at the packaging. We have the card art for Big Bear here, and this is really pretty good. I have not been entirely satisfied with a lot of the later 90s card art, but this is good. I like it. In this gray area behind where the figure would have been on the bubble, we have some instructions on how to operate the spring-loaded missile launcher. We will take a look at that accessory later. And instructions on how to use the figure stand. You probably could have figured that out without instructions. On the flip side, we have the cross-sell, some other figures that were available at the same time. We have some sub-factions within G.I. Joe. We have our one flag point, and we have our file card.  Let's take a look at Big Bear's accessories, starting with his rifle. The file card calls this an AK-88 fully automatic attack rifle. I cannot find a reference to an AK-88. There is a Type-88, which is the North Korean version of an AK-47. It is probably based on the AK-74U, but oddly, the magazine is missing. It has a strap that connects to the middle of the rifle, rather than the stock or behind the grip. It does kind of have a Russian look to it, doesn't it? And of course, you can use that strap to sling the rifle over the figure's shoulder. Now let's look at the spring-loaded missile launcher. This monster, which the file card calls a double-barreled low-noise bazooka launcher. So it launches bazookas? This does look a bit like a real-world weapon. It looks a lot like the DP-64, a Soviet double-barreled grenade launcher. I was surprised to find a real-world weapon that looks like this. It is black, it has a single pistol grip, and as you saw, the figure can hold it. And with the figure on the stand, the figure can stand up. It doesn't topple over while carrying this thing. It has two yellow missiles. We'll take a closer look at those in a minute. It is a double-barrel missile launcher, and it has either lamps or infrared lights, one on top and one on the bottom. The trigger for it is here in the back, this yellow switch. I usually don't care too much about these spring-loaded missile launchers, but as missile launchers go, this one is not bad. It has a fair amount of detail on both sides. These missiles are unique. It has a fork, and this enables the missile launcher to fire either one missile or both missiles at the same time. Let's look at how that works. This is a two-barrel missile launcher, but only the lower barrel is spring-loaded. The upper barrel is not. To fire a single missile, just put one of the two missiles, doesn't matter which one, in the lower barrel, it only fits one way, so just turn it until it slides in easily and clicks. Then aim and press the trigger to the left to fire. To fire both missiles at the same time, take the missile with the fork and place it in the lower barrel with the fork facing up. Press it until it clicks. Take the other missile and slide it through the fork and into the upper barrel. It will only fit one way, so just turn it until it slides in. It will not click in, it will just rest on top of that other missile. Now you're ready to fire both at the same time. Just press the trigger to the left and fire. I can't say this double firing feature has much advantage over the single firing feature, but the double barrel missile launcher does kind of look cool, doesn't it? It's worth noting the instructions on the card are actually incorrect. It doesn't show the lower missile with the fork and the trigger is in the wrong place. This must have been based on a prototype. Big Bear has a backpack. It is black. It's kind of small, but it's nice to have a backpack on a 90s figure. When they started releasing the accessories on accessories trees, we didn't get as many backpacks. This is adequate and fine, and it serves its purpose. Big Bear's final accessory was his figure stand. It is black, and this was an innovation in the 1990s. Before the 90s, we didn't get figure stands with the figures. We would only get them with small play sets and accessory packs. So it's nice to get a figure stand with the figure. Let's take a look at Big Bear's articulation. He had the articulation that was standard for G.I. Joe figures by 1992, meaning he had a ball-jointed head, a universal joint at the shoulder. He had a hinge at the elbow and a swivel at the bicep. The figure was held together with a rubber O-ring that allowed him to move at the torso a bit. He could move his legs apart about so far. He could bend his leg at the hip about 90 degrees and bend at the knee about 90 degrees. Let's take a look at the sculpt design and color of Big Bear starting with his head. On his head, he's wearing a gray Yushenka. A Yushenka is a cap that is often made of fur, and it has ear flaps that can be tied up on the crown of the cap as it is here, or they can be pulled down to cover the ears and chin. He has a red star in the center of his hat. That red star is another Soviet symbol.  You would expect a soldier to have close-cropped hair. He has a red beard and unfortunately red eyebrows and red pupils as well. Unfortunately, the red eyes are not an artistic choice like on Crystal Ball.  No, the reason for the red eyes is entirely capitalist. It's a cost-cutting measure. Giving him brown or black eyes would have required an additional paint color. This was done to other 90s figures and it always looks horrible. Just wait till we get to look at Topside's blonde eyes. On his chest he has a Kelly Green uniform. This looks like a standard uniform to me, not a cold weather uniform. He has brown straps and on the right strap he has a yellow grenade. That yellow grenade is a little out of place, but since the chest looks pretty good, I can excuse it. He has a sculpted knife on the left strap. Those brown straps continue to the back in a Y shape. These straps are load-bearing equipment for his backpack. His arms feature long sleeves in that same green color. A little bit of discoloration on mine. He has pockets on his upper arms and he has bare hands. He has a yellow patch on his right sleeve. This patch on the right sleeve is the basic shape of real patches worn by the Soviet Army. Although this one is blank, it would probably be the patch for the Soviet VDV Force, which is the Soviet Airborne Infantry. On his waist he has a brown belt that is pretty well sculpted, front and back. He has a red belt buckle with a star, another red star. On his belt he has a strap that's connected in the front and the back that slings down to a pouch on his left leg. On his legs we see that same Kelly Green uniform color as on the top half of the figure. Nice continuity of colors there. He has pouches on the front of his thighs and he has a sculpted stripe that goes down both legs. He has that brown pouch on his left leg and on his feet he has black Wellington boots. Let's take a look at Big Bear's file card. This file card is a little smudgy, but we can still read it well enough. This is one of those 90s file cards that has a description of some of the accessories and the features on the figure down here. I'm not going to read those. I already provided some of that information earlier. His codename is Big Bear. He is the October Guard Anti-Armor Specialist. His filename is Grigory Ivanovich Rostov. His military specialty is Air Assault. His birthplace is Archangel Russia SSR. His rank is Sergeant in parentheses Sergeant. Archangel is the English translation of the name of a Russian port city near the White Sea. SSR would be Soviet Socialist Republics. Here we have a quote presumably from Big Bear himself. It says, Airborne troops afraid to fall without parachutes. No guts. That's not true. Check out this photo of the time I jumped out of a plane without a parachute. This paragraph says, Big Bear grew up in a place where the conditions are cold, wet and nasty every day. He can be meaner than a Siberian wolf with its leg caught in a steel trap and wilder than a Mermansk fur merchant. Transferred from the elite 103rd Guards Air Assault Division, Big Bear's main gripe about the October Guard was the constant reference to it as the Soviet Union's counterpart to G.I. Joe. He would snap back saying, G.I. Joe's our counterparts. This 103rd Guards Air Assault Division is a reference to the 103rd Guards Airborne Division. It was a real division of the Soviet Airborne Corps, which was disbanded in 1993 after being transferred to the Belarus Army. I can appreciate Big Bear's pride in his team. These are elite troops. I can imagine they would bristle at the constant comparison to G.I. Joe. Big Bear enjoys rumbling into battle behind the wheels of the infamous G.I. Joe Attack Cruiser and Badger. This is the G.I. Joe Badger from 1991. I don't have the Attack Cruiser. Why would Big Bear drive the G.I. Joe Attack Cruiser and the Badger? These are G.I. Joe vehicles. He's a foreign operative. Their mention on the file card was obviously a cheap attempt to monetize those vehicles, but the Attack Cruiser and the Badger were released in 1991. They were discontinued for 1992, so they were not all the shelves at the same time Big Bear was. Taking a look at how Big Bear and the October Guard were used in G.I. Joe Media, the October Guard first appeared in the G.I. Joe animated series in the episode The Invaders. The lineup was a little different from the comic book version. Their battle cry was New Bogody, a version for Just You Wait. No! Bogody! My mom had a similar battle cry. It was Just You Wait until your father comes home. Big Bear did appear in the Dieck cartoon series, particularly in the episodes titled Chunnel and Keyboard Warriors. The G.I. Joe comic book series published by Marvel Comics was the true origin of the October Guard. They first appeared in issue number 6 and carried over to issue 7. They were rivals to G.I. Joe on a mission to retrieve a downed Soviet spy plane. They later teamed up with G.I. Joe after Cobra got their hands on the target. They appeared several times in the comic book series, sometimes as enemies of G.I. Joe, other times as partners. They returned in G.I. Joe yearbook number 2 in a story penciled by Michael Golden. Golden made a name for himself as the penciler of the excellent series The Nam. His art on G.I. Joe wasn't universally well received. To the best of my knowledge Big Bear did not appear in the comic book series. Maybe he appeared in one of the later issues that I don't have but I have not been able to find him. If you are aware of an appearance of Big Bear in the Marvel comic book series, please let me know. I hate to miss stuff like that. Looking at Big Bear overall it's a middle tier figure. It could easily be a top tier figure with one minor change. The red eyes really bother me. I can't get over them. It's a shame that such a small thing can tarnish what would otherwise be a top tier figure. It's a small thing but an important thing. The red eyes are indicative of the cost-cutting measures in the 1990s. They went cheap and it looks ugly. The rest of the figure is pretty great. I like the color. The green may be a little too bright for a traditional military uniform, even a Russian one but I still think it looks pretty good. The yellow grenade kind of stands out but I can overlook it because the rest of the colors are pretty good and the sculpting is excellent. The accessories are cool. I don't usually go for the spring loaded missile launchers but the fact that this one sort of looks like a real weapon makes me appreciate it more. The rifle is my favorite accessory. More importantly this figure introduces us to the October Guard, one of the great factions within G.I. Cho. Its origins are steeped in the Cold War. The way they were depicted in the comic book is not what you would expect from American civilization. Of course the October Guard worked against G.I. Cho but not always. Often G.I. Cho and the October Guard were able to work together for a common goal. They were presented as the equals to G.I. Cho. The presentation of the October Guard was like reverse propaganda instead of dehumanizing the enemy it placed the enemy on an equal footing as ourselves. This is why the G.I. Cho comic book is worth a read even by non G.I. Cho fans. There's far more subtlety in that book than you would expect. If you think G.I. Cho is nothing more than Cold War propaganda and the comic book is nothing more than an advertisement for toys then you either haven't read it or you didn't understand what you read. That was my review of Big Bear. I hope you enjoyed it. Next week I am doing something special. We are doing a viewers choice poll. Now I've done lots of patrons choice polls but this will be different. I am opening this poll up to everyone. The vote will be on Patreon.com. There will be an announcement video when it starts look for that. And you will have more than three options. Every figure and vehicle that did not win a patrons choice poll this year will get a second chance. Except for bulletproof because I lost his microphone. The figure is not complete anymore. I am not ready to review it. And I will throw in a few more options. It will be huge. Who will win? You decide. After that announcement video for the Q&A will be coming soon. I will be taking the weekend of Christmas and the first week of 2018 off. Those weeks off are not vacation weeks. I am working on something big for the first review of 2018. I can't tell you what it is but I can tell you what it is not. It is not the defiant shuttle complex. I was not able to acquire one this year. I will also be implementing a few minor format changes that I hope will make the show more fun and more professional. That's all for now. Thank you for watching. I will see you next weekend. Until then, remember only G.I. Joe is G.I. Joe. I do not think the American likes us.


In 2020, a swing of the back can change everything. Each ball is an event, everyone different, pulsating the drama. The energy is electric, the volume rises, heart race is like a stripe of lightning. So with the 2024 ICC men's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA only three months away, Cricut West Indies last Thursday opened ticket ballots to the general public within the space of 48 hours, a mind-blowing 1.2 million ticket applications were received, with over 900,000 coming from Americans. The ticket ballot period is from the 1st to the 7th of February and remaining tickets will go on general sale on the 22nd of February. Now the ICC head of events, Chris Tetley, said this. The initial applications for tickets indicate strong demand for tickets to the first ICC event, co-hosted by West Indies and USA. T20 Cricut is a growth vehicle to bring new fans to the sport and it is reassuring to see a large majority of applications coming from the Americas, reflecting the excitement of fans in the region to see world-class cricket. Meanwhile, the ICC tournament director Fawaz Batch said this. Given the global appeal of T20 Cricut, we anticipated a high number of applications during the early stages of public ticket ballot, but to surpass 1 million applications in the first 48 hours is nothing short of phenomenal and is a testament to the hard work, dedication and collective efforts of every member of the tournament project team. Now the ICC men's T20 media manager Philip Spooner joins us on telephone to discuss the high demand for the World Cup tickets. Welcome to the Sports Mac Zone, Phil. Thanks, Lance. Thank you very much for having me and good to be back in Jamaica, if only virtually. I understand your point. Let me start here because the West Indies did host the T20 World Cup back in 2010, but this one is being jointly hosted with the USA and it seems to have triggered colossal figures and looking quite different from what it did in 2010, isn't it? Yeah, well, 2010 is probably a world who will, a lot has happened since then and we're just happy. We're just really delighted with what we're seeing in terms of the numbers. In two days, as you said, we surpassed 1 million and I think we're in the region of I think over 4 million now. So it's showing a level of interest as both Fawaz and Chris said in the statements that were distributed over the weekend. So lots of excitement and it's a very good time to be involved in cricket and special that the Caribbean and the United States will be partnering on such an amazing opportunity for our party world. Yeah, and we saw where FIFA announced their World Cup Finals for 2026 to be staged at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the World Cup Finals in 2026 and within days we're getting this buzz from the ICCT20 World Cup, which is being staged in the U.S. as well. Yeah, well, you know, this, you know, we are very good at doing events in the West Indies. We've done four global sporting events, cricket events before, 2007, 50 World Cup for men, 2010, T20 World Cup for men and women, 2018, Women's World T20 World Cup and then in 2022, ICC men's on the 19th. But this is a whole new level, tremendous participation. 20 teams, 55 matches from 1st to 29th of June. So lots of expectations, lots of anticipation. And the Caribbean, the West Indies, the buzz as we speak, because the atmosphere is building and persons are really excited about getting involved. And over in the U.S., lots of excitement there as well as Chris outlined. Lots of applications from America, Dallas, matches in Dallas, New York and Miami. So, you know, it's time to get on the train and get ready for this massive event, the biggest event to be hosted in the Caribbean by some distance. Yeah, I can see that. And Phil, I see where the tournament venues have opted out of hosting CWI four-day matches this tournament starting this week. And that is a part, of course, of them getting themselves ready with their venues for the global event in June. Yeah, well, part of preparation requires that the venue be handed over to ICC by a certain time. But I mean, lots of preparation going on. This week, the lead curator for CWI, Kent Craft, and he'll be going around the region and looking at pitches and outfields, ensuring that we're up to speed where we need to be at this stage. And, you know, the ballot closes in a few days. And then the people, persons will know which matches they got, which tickets they got. And then from the 22nd of February, when the ticket scored back on sale, that's also 100 days to go before the first ball is bowed. So, lots of events, you know, in February as well. And then we go straight into March and then April and then May, once you say May, you know, you basically send to an event in June, it will all happen across the three venues in the US and the six venues in the West Indies. Right, and spoons for the people that are not following the story as closely as we are. How long does this ballot period run for? The seven-year period is starting on Thursday. It goes to just before midnight on what we call the reveal Wednesday night. So, you still got time and we want to urge our friends in the West Indies to please, please get on the ballot, tickets.t20world.com. Please go there, submit your request for your tickets. Only on Saturday it was at Garrison, Savannah with Craig Brathwaite and there were a couple of fans who came over to Craig wanting to know not how he beat Australia, but wanting to know how to get tickets for the World Cup. So Craig directed them to the website after which they praised him for his performance in Australia. So, even within Celebrating, Craig's a remarkable feat. People were asking questions about T20 World Cup. So, as I said, there's a lot of excitement and, you know, you will see a lot of things happening in the West Indies within the next few months. But at this moment, we want to urge everyone to please, please go there and get it, and to play for your tickets. And I know for sure. Thank you, Brian. Yeah, I know for sure. Sponsored how West Indies fans get where tickets are concerned. So, is there a limit of tickets that one person can purchase? You can play for six up to six for each match that you want to get. And then you take it from there. Once you submit your ballot from there, you will obviously be entered into the systems. And then once the ballot closes, then you'll be notified of the tickets that you managed to receive. After that, you get an email and then you make purchases. So, it's how it's done at international level of sport labs. You would have done several Olympic Games and been around football or a World Cup. Mariah, you know the insider, you know this is the way the sports world works. And you have to submit it into the ballot because it's a global process. And up to when we published the press release, it was 106 countries. People from 106 countries had applied into the ballot. So, that goes to show you the level of interest all across the world. So, cricket really and truly is number two spectator sport on the planet. And this sort of shows you exactly what we're talking about. And what are the prices that we're looking at? Well, the prices vary, obviously, depending on matches. But we start at 6 US, which is really affordable. So, we want to let persons know that it's not a massive price tag on tickets. Obviously, as you go late in the tournament to the Super 8s, the semis and the finals, the prices will increase. But for the first round ticket start at 6 US. So, that's to ensure that everybody gets an opportunity to see cricket, join the T20 World Cup and participate. And not only just go and watch matches, but there'll be so many other activities going on. Fan parks, parties, music events, street festivals in any Caribbean and in the US. You can imagine what places like Brooklyn and Times Square will be like. What they'll be like in Fort Lauderdale and downtown Miami. Then you can imagine what it's like in Hero Scream Barbatos and the Avenue in Trinidad and the Seawall in Guyana and Stafford Market. You know, Wreckliffe Street in Antigua and Rosy Lea in St. Lucia and in the heart of Kingston, St. Vincent. So, it's all going to happen. Lots of activity, a lot of fanfare, a lot of call, a lot of enthusiasm. And we also want to stress, we can't stress enough on the fan parks and the kids' parks where we're going to teach children how to play cricket. And we're going to have some of the best cricketers that we've ever had participate in these fan parks. So, there's a lot to expect and a lot to see. Yeah, from the experiences of 2007, the 50th World Cup and 2010 as well, the men's T20 World Cup held in the Caribbean, Phillip. A lot of complaints about how expensive the tickets were. I was, well, pleasantly surprised to see the prices for the tickets for this year's tournament from $6 as you pointed out, US dollars. I think up to a high of 25 US dollars, which is quite good. How important from the organizational standpoint, was it to your team that you got the pricing right? It's massively important. We want to ensure that every person who wants to see a match can see it. And one of the pillars upon which the bid was developed was to reignite the passion for cricket in the West Indies. So we want to make sure that those who watched, who watched Grenadian Haynes and Marshall and Garner and Richardson and Ambrose and what you want to make sure that they still want to come and watch cricket and we also want to make sure that the grandchildren of those who watched Grenadian Haynes and Marshall and Garner, that they also can come and watch cricket. So every person in the West Indies who is physically capable and capable, we want to give you an opportunity to come and see the T20 World Cup. And that means that we set the ticket prices at very, very affordable rates. And it's showing by virtue of close to over 4 million persons applying. But we need to reignite the passion for cricket in the West Indies. And for me, it's a personal joy as well to be part of this. Because I was there in 2012 and in 2016, I was part of the back room staff in West Indies one. And I know how it felt to the players there. And I know what it felt like coming back home in the Caribbean to people really enjoying this. And we saw what happened only a week ago. We should have put the West Indies on his back and bow them to that magnificent victory against Australia. So the passion is there, but we want to reignite it. We want to get people fired up again. And if it all goes according to plan, Robin Power would be the malefinal trophy on the 29th of June at Kensin Oval. And that would be the icing on all the cakes that we could possibly think of. So we want to get fans back again. We want to get people excited. We want to get everybody really pumped up. And then we want to see Robin and his team go there win. Yeah, love the way you put it, Philip. In terms of how the process works. So let us say I go on the portal and I make an application for three tickets to see the opening match. Is there a guarantee that I will get those tickets? No guarantees. It's not a first-come-served basis either. It's a ballot. So you're not guaranteed. But you stand a very good chance, for sure, if you put yourself in there. Because I mean, if you're not in, you're out. So you would want to be part of the ballot first and give yourself the opportunity. I mean, matches will be sold out. We acknowledge that. I mean, India, Pakistan, for example, in New York is bound to be sold out. Australia, England, and Barbados is bound to be sold out. Most all the West Indies matches will be sold out. We are confident of that. But there will be other matches and other opportunities to also see some of the best pickers in the world. So one way to guarantee that you give yourself a really good chance is to enter the ballot tickets.t20world.com. And really nice footage of the West Indies winning in 2016, by the way. Yeah, very much the case. And as well, Philip, so within the first of 48 hours, you had over a million applicants. A large portion of those coming from the United States of America, you have told us that you are well over four million now. Is the trend still the same, where majority of those applying are Americans? Or in the United States of America? Yeah, it's going that way by and large. But the Caribbean is also keeping pace. But we want to see West Indians really, really getting involved. And it's something we appreciate. It's something new for our West Indian brothers and sisters. But we want to get them encouraged and get them involved in this process. Because it's one way, as I said, to guarantee that you get the opportunity to be part of the world cup. So seeing it and enjoying it is what we want. But yeah, we would love, we want everybody to be there. I'm here telling somebody, did you see when Rob won 86? Or did you see when Puran hit that cover joint? You want to be able to say, I saw it myself and I enjoy moments of it. Yeah, and are you seeing any cross application, meaning those from the United States of America applying to go to matches in the Caribbean, in Trinidad, in Guyana, in Barbados? I'm not across it on that level. I just, I'm getting the information from my colleagues. So I'm not across who is going where, et cetera, and where they're jumping to or heading to. But we know for sure that the trend shows there is a large interest in the US. And obviously there's a large interest from persons in India as well. And the Caribbean is involved in a meaningful way. Yeah, in terms of the overall process, of course, the ballot, as you pointed out, will close on the 7th of February. And there are many cricket lovers across the Caribbean who right now are asking the question, well, I don't really have access to the online platform in that way. Or maybe I don't understand it and I don't have anyone to help me with that. In terms of tickets going on sale in the traditional Caribbean way, where you turn up to an outlet and get your tickets, is that going to happen? And if so, when can fans expect that? Well, we're working on those processes. We want it, as I said, we want to ensure everybody gets that opportunity. Traditional sales we are not going to appreciate is the way that many West Indians, as you wrote many West Indians go, but we also want to hammer on the point that this is an international tournament being hosted in the West Indies. And this is the direction of which the ticket sales are at this stage. But we will build main provision. We want to ensure that everybody gets a chance. So we'll try to make provision later down for that to happen. But at this stage, if you don't have access to the online, please try to seek out someone, talk to, you know, if you're part of church, if you're part of community group, you're part of a school, you know, somebody that's active on with the technology, please speak to them and ask them if they can accommodate you for this purpose. And we hope that that is the direction that we can be our brothers keeper and ensure that this process works. But as you said, we are working through processes. We will seek to answer any questions as they come up. Yeah. And Philip, you might need to save a few hundred tickets for those in Barakara. We welcome them. We welcome them. It's that's the that's the that was obviously the best kept secret on the planet. Barakara. And we saw who came out of Barakara and what he did. He's now the face of a world cricket. And in one week, it goes to show miracles do do happen. So big up to Shamar for amazing performance.  He's keen to to see how he can go into 20. And you never know, he could be demandable as a victory on the 29th. So, you know, it's all possible. I mean, this guy has come from this guy's come from nowhere and has done everything that would expect of him and more in just in just two times as much as you're prophesying a lot here, Philip, from Robyn Paul hitting the winning runs or lifting the trophy on the 29th or Shamar Joseph bowling the West Indies to victory. You're becoming a prophet or trying to be. I'm part of the committee and I and I and I want a fantastic tournament. And I want the best team to win. But I'm also a West Indian. And I won't be so best in this cricket and I wanted one part of being the best is beating the best and winning and then, you know, top of every 20 cricket is concerned. So that's what we want. Yeah.  So I think that's a good enough indication. Yeah. Art Phil, always a pleasure talking to you here on the Sports Max zone and we'll be in touch as the excitement builds to T20 and June World Cup Tournament. That is going to be like no other that we've ever seen. Thanks, Phil. Thank you very much. And if we get in jazz, we would love to bring our bring the trophy to that wonderful studio you have there. So I'm going to do it, but we'll talk. Art Phil, we'll be back with more on the Sports Max zone feelings from Barbados and there's a big Barbados story coming up on the Sports Max zone on the other side of the break, tennis.


Right. Um, John, it's been an interesting week with, uh, with WWDC here. And, uh, and I've had, obviously we talked about, uh, our initial reactions from the keynote and State of the Union with Dave Mark on Monday, uh, which was awesome. Thanks for everybody for, um, for participating in that. It was a blast. And thanks to Dave Mark, too. I dug, I did some dugging. I dug, I dug some bidding, John, because I wanted to learn more about a few things. And I dug into Apple's iCloud Private Relay, which is, which was really interesting to me. And I was curious about how they were doing, what they were doing and, um, what it affects on your devices. So not only did I go and watch the WWDC session about this, I actually installed iOS 15 on our family spare iPhone 10 R and, but it runs great on that device, by the way. I have, I mean, I, I didn't inherit any apps or anything. I started it fresh, but, uh, but it's been, it's been quite stable. So the best place to start when thinking about Private Relay is to start about, start from what we know about how a VPN server works, because this is not a VPN server, but it's a good place to start. So with a VPN server, if I'm connecting to your website, John, uh, normally it would just be me connecting directly to your website, right? With a VPN server, I'm connecting to the VPN server, and then the VPN server is connecting to your website, but the VPN server theoretically has all the information. They know where I'm connecting to, and they know who I am, right? They see both sides of the chain. Apple did not want that. So what Apple did was they created a double server scenario and they have ingress servers, which are the ones that I would connect to, and then they have egress servers, which are the ones that connect to you. So I would connect to an ingress server. The ingress server would talk to the egress server and the egress server would talk to you. Now, here's where it gets really even more interesting. The ingress server is owned by Apple. The egress server is not, uh, from my tests, I'm seeing it owned by Cloudflare, but that's just me here in the Northeast. I'm sure they could have many different partners. What's also interesting is that the egress server has no idea who I am. It only knows what I'm requesting. Apple's ingress server only knows who I am and does not know what I'm requesting because my request is encrypted on my device and sent all the way through to the egress server. It's not me, but they don't know what I'm looking for or what I'm getting. And the egress server knows what I'm getting or what I'm looking for, but it doesn't know that it's me. Speed wise, obviously, this sounded like a thing that might slow things down. It does not. I had like 33 millisecond ping times all the way through. It was super fast. I got, I was on Wi-Fi because I'm only doing it on my, on my iPhone. So I haven't been able to test ethernet, but I got, you know, I'm on that fiber connection here. I got 300 megabits in both directions, which was the limitation of my Wi-Fi. So that worked really well. It doesn't protect all traffic, John. Only really only three things are protected and really mainly just two of them. So when thinking about iCloud private relay, there's two things that go through it. All your DNS queries, 100% of your DNS queries go through iCloud private relay and all your Safari browsing, anything you do in Safari goes through this. Now you can turn it off, but it is on by default if you have any paid iCloud subscription. They call it iCloud plus now, but it, it's the same. My subscription just became an iCloud plus subscription when I launched iOS 15. I'm not paying anymore or any less, but any paid iCloud subscription, even at 99 cents a month, goes up to, you know, we'll, we'll let you use this and there's no traffic limits or anything. So Safari browsing and DNS queries. In addition to that, Apple is also encrypting, Apple is also encrypting, but also sending across private relay, any traffic from your apps that is not encrypted. So for example, the Mac GeekGab app, if it's connecting to download our podcast in an encrypted way, HTTPS, it's going to let that go straight through to our servers. But if we're doing it as HTTP, it's going to go through private relay. And that's just to make sure all your web traffic is encrypted so that your local provider can't see what you're doing. Local traffic, private domains, if you turn on a VPN, and then of course, like I said, secure traffic from your apps, none of those things are included in private relay. All of those would bypass it. So you turn on the VPN, it's fine. Network operators can also block private relay by simply blocking the lookups to the private, Apple's private relay servers, and they publish what those servers are.  And then private relay won't work, but it will tell the user, hey, private relay is not able to be used on this network. Do you want to continue using this network without it or do you want to use a different network? And you can go turn it off, John, in like, if you go in on the iPhone, I can go into Wi-Fi settings and disable private relays on by default, but you can go into the settings and turn it off. So I think Apple did it pretty well. I'm pretty stoked about it, to be honest. Any questions or thoughts on this, John? Is the mail privacy protection separate from iCloud Plus? No. The mail privacy protection, I believe, is included in iCloud Plus as well, I think. And it operates similarly to private relay. In fact, it uses private relay to load images, like inline images that would be in mail. But that gets interesting, right? Because simply loading the image is all that needs to happen to let someone know that you have opened the email, right? Like as soon as the image is loaded, now, like, your privacy is lost on that. They know you've opened the email. Well, Apple has solved this problem. I dug into that, too. They load all images through their private relay.  And as soon as the email arrives on your device, it loads all the images. So it's going to throw off the metrics for email trackers, like a MailChimp or a thing like that. It's just going to say, oh, yeah, your open rate is through the roof. But you won't know. Because to track open rate, what they do is they track whether or not an image has been loaded. And if the image has been loaded, then we know, oh, the mail's been opened. Well, that's going to happen whether or not the mail has been opened. And so that's how Apple's getting around it. The only caveat that I can see with that, John, is that still confirms that the email made it to your device. And so for spammers that are using this technology to confirm that your email address is valid, I think it still lets them confirm that your email address is valid. So that would be the right. I mean, I don't see any, I don't see any way around that. So unless they don't load images for things that are put in spam, only things that make it to your inbox, like there might be some filters there. Their session was not clear on, you know, the nuances of that. But yeah. All right. Yeah, I remember when we talked about this, I mean, clearly it's going to, yes, as you observe, it's going to upset some systems when trying to do metrics. Yes. Oh, absolutely. Well, that's the whole point. Yeah, no, I know. Quite frankly, I think that's a, depending on your viewpoint, that's a good thing. Certainly from my viewpoint, it's a good thing. This will break all of the attribution tracking that Apple has, or that like the podcast industry is trying desperately to implement. And I couldn't be happier about it. Like I'm really stoked that it will break this because Safari and the podcast app will be separated from each other, you know, you won't have the same IP and user agent loading a sponsor's website that you would. So that we never implemented any of that here, but other podcasts do. And I'll just leave it at that. But yeah, the industry's really been pushing. So I'm stoked about it. All right. Yeah, it's good. We probably have a little more cool stuff found to get to, which would be good. I want to talk about our sponsors, but I want to mention one thing that I had not dug into. But in the pre-show, somebody mentioned here that iCloud Plus adds the ability to use your own domain name, which I find really interesting. I'm it's I'm not sure how they're doing it. I mean, the like the normal way to do it would be you would sign up with an email provider and then point what are called your MX records. So your your domain records that tell servers, other mail servers, which mail server is the host for your domain? You point your MX records at your mail host, like when I moved to Fastmail recently, I pointed my I used my Dave the nerd domain. I moved I moved that entire domain over to Fastmail and I pointed my MX records to Fastmail. So like, I'm not sure what Apple is doing here. If they're just going to let us send, well, they've always let us send from other domains. So yeah, I'm I'm curious to see if like Apple wants to truly be a male like an MX host for this kind of stuff. So I'm going to dig into that too. This is it's been funding and into the stuff. So yeah, it's good.


Ydw i'n gwybod i Pan ddiwedodd o'ch niel chi yn bod yn ddigon i gynsiann – dweud bod ni'n gweithio'n eistedd ei gydag yn gweithio'n meddwl mewn gwahanol ac mae'n gwybod i'ch teimlo i ddweud ei joidd. Yn gwedodd o weithio'n gweithio'r gwahanol yma, yn ei gweithio fryinggylch iddo. that happens in difficult times, we are awakening through conflict, through uncertainty, through a time where people are struggling, people are struggling through anxiety, depression, panic, all of these things. Ac hefyd blŵr amdano i ddweud o'ch cymdeithas a blŵm a fwy o'r tŵs o dweud yn ymbynno. Ugymol am ddwy'r blŵm, gallwn nhw'n oedd yn ymgrifio.

Mae'r bobl hyn mae'r bobl hyn am hoffa ychydigain. Gallwn ni'n bobl hyn. Ychydig nhw yn yr un wrth. I know it'll come back and I'll enjoy the taste a little bit more. I think one of the things that, I woke up this morning and I was a bit down this morning. I was hoping to feel better than what I currently do, which isn't very mindful. I should just be in the moment and accept that I am getting better from moment to moment. But we're human and one of my favourite places to go is a place called Costa Blanca, which is in Spain. And I go there every year. My friend has a place. We used to have a place over the years ago. My friend has a place over there and we go quite a bit. I haven't gone a lot in the last two years because of the business interests and things like that, but we go there quite a bit and it's a special sacred space for me that I really enjoy and I feel at home and it's wonderful. And I woke up this morning and everything just seems to be so far away. The light at the end of the tunnel was quite dark and you're just thinking how long, you know, where are we and what happens and all of these things. So all I did was is I put on the local radio station La Correnta, which is based down in a place called Pilar de Herada, which is down by San Pedro, 40 minutes south of Alicante in a province called Murcia. And I put it on and the guy who was speaking on the radio who spoke in his most happy, go lucky Spanish accent on came a lovely track. I closed my eyes and in all intents and purposes I was there. It was wonderful and blissful. And I came out of that and I thought to myself, you know what, Jew, you can sit here and say you missed that or I can sit here and say I'm looking forward to going back to that. I'm looking forward to that day. I arrive on a plane, I get to the airport, I pick up my hire car and I press the radio on and I'm driving down the N332 with the Mediterranean to my left hand side, the sun beaming down through a cloudless sky and I'm listening to this radio channel. Or I can think, are we ever going to get there? This is terrible. So with all of these things, we have an option. We have an idea of which way we can go and how we can do it. And it's very much like that as well in terms of blame and conflict. Conflict, for me, is an emotion of stuckness. The reason we're in conflict is because we can't find a way out. There's a pattern we're stuck in at that moment and we can't get out of it and we want to blame somebody and we want to do this and we want to do that. And one of the things that we spoke about yesterday was blame. And just to give you a bit more in depth, I'm getting, and I understand why, it's a human nature. I'm getting people send me messages and emails and, you know, is this coronavirus due to the 5G? Is it because of this? Is it because of that? You know, who's fault is it? It starts in, you know, we've got Donald Trump calling it the Chinese virus. It started in, as he said, China, you know, and all of these things. Does it really matter? Why are we wasting so much time and energy on a portion in blame? Let's spend that time and energy offering healing. Let's spend that time and energy offering love. Let's spend that time and energy helping others. Let's spend that time and energy working on ourselves, giving ourselves self-compassion, meditating, giving ourselves that platform of calmness and balance and stillness, feeling centred. Why not do that? And the reason we do it, because for thousands and thousands of years, many more years than now we've been this individual bright light, is we've always been in tribes. And when there's a problem, we try and find the person in the tribe because we need to get them out of the tribe because they're going to cause problem, they're going to cause mayhem. So, you know, the person who causes the issue in the tribe is the danger. They're the people you have to find out and get that person out due to the risk of the tribe. Those days are gone. Those days are gone. And I think there's a real danger if we continue to use our energies to find who's at fault and what's at fault rather than dealing with the issue that's in front of us. We need to move away from the tribal conditioning of blame and to look for things who's to blame and move into the process of the things that need love and healing. And that can be anything. It's not just, you know, about the coronavirus. It can be anything that's happening in our lives. There's a story about, you know, I think there's a part of South Africa where if they catch a killer of somebody who they murdered, they put that killer on a boat and bind him on a river and chuck him in the river as the family of the murdered stand on the side and they've got the option to either save him or let him drown. And they say, you know, if they save him, they can heal their sorrow. They can let it go, they can forgive and they can start healing. There's a saying that with all of these things, and it's a lot deeper than some of the issues around us at the moment, but vengeance is a lazy form of grief and blame is a lazy form of most things. We really need to move away from blaming and resenting and revenge and it, because I think it covers over the things that we really need to pay attention to. And the primary challenge is to move away from the addiction and seduction of blame. Into the moment we can move away from that, we can really move away from that in the moment and then we can really start to truly heal. For me, forgiveness is the key to all self-love and development and self-love and development for others. Imagine if we could be in a situation where no one is to blame. It's no one's fault. We all make mistakes. Let's help each other to move on, to learn, to heal and to love in a way that is full of empathy, is full of compassion, is authentic, is meaning, is all of these things. And I just wanted to talk again about blame purely because of the amount of emails and propaganda that I'm getting about who's at fault for the current situation where we are. Does it really matter now? The only way we're going to heal and get through this is by offering love and support and working together to try and find solutions, vaccinations, ways in which we can help those who have severe forms of this, the lapidating illness of this virus. And I'm talking about corona because we're right bang in the middle of it. You know, it's happening, it's real and we need to think about how we, through our emotions, through stress, through depression, through anxiety, through fear, through blame, how we can just be better, how we can condition ourselves to really deal with this issue. And we're all struggling. There's no doubt about it. I think everybody is finding things difficult. And the world will never be the same again, I keep saying it. Minimum amount of losses, maximum amount of impact. So today, don't blame anybody. Don't watch any videos about propaganda or, you know, blame videos or, you know, conspiracy videos. Don't do it.  It's not going to solve anything. If it is 5G, then let's deal with it after that. Let's deal with where we are today. And that is by offering our love and empathy and kindness and compassion and healing to those people who need it most. I hope you've enjoyed this video. We're going to go into the loving kindness section now. And don't forget tomorrow's day 12. Well done if you've done it all the way through. And I just want to say a very special message here before we go into the video. If you are or know somebody who is involved in any of the emergency services and in particular your nurses, your doctors, your frontline people, do me a favour. Just give them a virtual cuddle or a virtual kiss and say that these are the true heroes. These are the people who are the glue of our country, the glue of our community. And for many years, we've overlooked all of these people. The lorry drivers bringing food, the shelf stackers who allow us to get food in the market. And we always think about the highfalutin bankers and financiers and the very famous, rich, successful people who at the moment are having little or no impact on the situation where we are. It's those fundamental frontline workers who are really turning it on. And they are the glue of our community and of our society. And I'm from the bottom of my heart. I want to say thank you for putting yourself at risk, your lives at risk to help others. You truly deserve all of our blessings, all of our energy, all of our love, all of our care. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you from the bottom of my family's heart for everything that you're doing right here, right now. God bless. This loving kindness meditation is specifically for you. I'll see you in a few moments. Thank you.  I'm going to put a nice image up and I'm going to sound a bell for us to start. And all I want you to do now is focus on your breath. Breathing in and breathing out. Breathing in and breathing out. And just focus on where your breath is. Where do you feel it most? Is it through your nostrils? Is it on your t-shirt? Is it on your jumper? Where do you feel? Do you feel your belly moving in and out? Breathing in and breathing out. And to start this, we're going to offer loving kindness to ourselves. And I want you to focus on the intention of these words. And I want you to continually repeat these words. And if you have a thought that comes in, you welcome it, you love it, you let it go, and you come back to the mantra. So as we're breathing in, I want you to say these words. Breathing in, may I be safe? Breathing out. Breathing in, may I be happy? Breathing out. Breathing in, may I be healthy? Breathing out. Breathing in, may I live with ease? Breathing out. Repeat the mantra. May I be safe? May I be happy? May I be healthy? May I live with ease? Continue that mantra as you're breathing in and you're breathing out. And if you have any thoughts that come in, you welcome them, you love them, you let them go, and you come back to your mantra. May I be safe? May I be happy? May I be healthy? May I live with ease? Breathing in and breathing out. May I be safe? May I be happy? May I be healthy? May I live with ease? Welcome this beautiful love into your life. To be kind to yourself. To connect in with yourself. To love yourself. To heal yourself. May I be safe? May I be happy? May I be healthy? May I live with ease? May I be safe? May I be happy? May I be healthy? May I live with ease?   Someone you think about who you're grateful for. And I want you to picture that person in your mind. And on this occasion as you're breathing in, you say simply, May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? May you live with ease? This is loving kindness. For somebody else. Who is someone you love. Someone inspires you. Put them in your mind. See them and set the intention of May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? May you live with ease? Breathing in. And breathing out. And don't forget if you have a thought. Just let it welcome in. Hold it. Don't put any judgment on it. Accept it, acknowledge it. Let it go and come back to your mantra for this person that you love. May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? May you live with ease? Breathing in and breathing out. May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? And may you live with ease? We're going to focus on someone you know who's having a difficult time at the moment.  And we're going to offer them kindness. So if there's somebody you know who is in self-isolation or isn't feeling very well at the moment and we need to place their intention in your mind, with them in your mind. And you say again. May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? And may you live with ease? Breathing in and breathing out. This is somebody who you know who's having a difficult time at the moment who may be ill. Set the intention of that person. Put them in your mind's eye. And as you do, you say to yourself may you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? And may you live with ease? And if you find your attention or your mind wanders, don't worry. Just love it. Let it go. And return back to your phrases. Your mantra. May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? And may you live with ease? These mantras are now your anchor. May you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? And may you live with ease? Now what I'd like you to do in life that you might have difficulty with or have some tension with or have had an issue with or something hasn't sat right between the both of you for a little bit of time this one can be difficult but we set the attention and we put them in our mind's eye and we say to them in our mantra breathing in and breathing out may you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? May you live with ease? And again if something a thought comes in I want you to allow it in, accept it acknowledge it, put no judgment love it and let it go and come back to your anchor, your mantra for the person who you may have had difficulty with have had an argument with there's some tension between you set the attention, put them in your mind's eye and say may you be safe? May you be happy? May you be healthy? And may you live with ease? And if at any point you find that difficult then you can just direct it back to yourself may I be safe? May I be happy? May I be healthy? May I live with ease? Now I'd like you at this moment to direct your loving kindness your attention and your intention to all forms of life people, animals all beings, those people who need it most all over the world at this very difficult time and I want you to say for them may all beings be safe? May all beings be happy? May all beings be healthy? May all beings live with ease?  May all beings be happy? May all beings be healthy? May all beings live with ease? Breathing in and breathing out May all beings be happy? May all beings be healthy? May all beings live with ease? May all beings be safe? May all beings be happy? May all beings be healthy? May all beings live with ease?  So we are through another day and I wanted to stay positive today. If you have some of these favorite places in the world or favorite things you like doing or a specific track or music or sitting in front of your computer or whatever you are doing, put it on. Listen to it and remember that day will come where you will be able to remember the times gyda'r ddiwedd wedi bod hi'n rhoi i'n ffordd i'r ddweud o'r ddweud yn oes i'r ddweud am y ffordd yng nghymddol. Yn gallwn i mi'n meddwl yng nghymru, yn y ddweud ar gyfer, rwy'n meddwl i'n meddwl, dwi'n meddwl i'n meddwl i ddweud, ond rwy'n meddwl i'r ddweud. Fy ydych chi'n meddwl i ddim yn meddwl i'r ddweud o'r cywleddau sydd gyda'i fynd i'r ffamil, Dyna'r fawr, dyna'r fawr, dyna'r wych, dyna'r cymaint, dyna'r fawr, dyna'r llan, dyna'r llan a dyna'r safngrwyr. Gwyddu'n i chi. Fy fawr, ac yw'n gwybod yn fawr, fel y dyna y dyna'r fawr. Rwy'n gwneud, Julian. Rwy'n gwis. Rwy'n gwis, Julian. Rwy'n gwis. Rwy'n gwis, dyna. Rwy'n gwis fel y gallwn. Rwy'n gwis fel y gallwn ein bod chi. honesty is the new day where we don't blame anybody anymore. We use that energy to heal the self love, self compassion, those around us and have a beautiful, beautiful day. Take care and I will see you tomorrow. God bless, by bye.


In dry desert-type areas, you've probably seen this sharp, pointy leaf plant. This plant is called yucca, and it can be seen blooming in early summer. Yucca has a really interesting mutualistic pollination with yucca moths. These moths travel from flower to flower pollinating. While at the flowers, they also lay their eggs. As the larvae develop, they feed on the seeds, making sure to leave enough seeds for more yucca to grow. Living in desert country can be tough. Adaptations to the arid climate include thick waxy stems, leaf structure that funnels do and rain to the roots, and the ability to store water in roots. Native Americans found yucca to be very useful. The roots are high in saponin, which acts like a soap when scrubbed in water. The sharp leaves were used to puncture meat. After being tied in a loop, they were hung for salt curing and smoking. Its low ignition temperature makes it desirable for starting fires via friction. Although yucca is a state flower of New Mexico, it can be found from Alberta, Canada, through the United States, and down into Central America. It is not to be mistaken for the root vegetable cassava, which is also called yucca with one seed. It doesn't really matter which Wyoming county you travel through. You'll probably see this tough desert plant, yucca. From the University of Wyoming Extension, I'm Mae Smith, Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.
