We're going to do that. But it's going to be here. Yeah. We're going to do it here. Yeah. They're actually on the street floor. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to do it here. Please join me for a few moments of centering silence. Please remain seated as we sing our in-gathering hymn, which is printed in your order of service. It's only two lines, but they're good two lines, and we'll sing through them twice. Welcome to the First Unitarian Society of Madison. This is a community where curious seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical, and social issues in an accepting and nurturing environment. Unitarian universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual, as together we seek to be a force for good in the world. My name is Karen Rose Gredler, and on behalf of the entire congregation, I would like to extend a special welcome to any visitors who are with us this morning.  Newcomers are encouraged to stay for our fellowship hour after the service, and to visit the library, which is directly across from the center doors of this auditorium. Bring your beverages and your questions. Members of our staff and lay ministry will be on hand to welcome you. You may also look for persons holding teal-colored stoneware coffee mugs. These are FUS members, knowledgeable about our faith community, who would welcome visiting with you. An experienced guide is generally available to give a building tour after each service, so if you would like to learn more about this sustainably designed addition and or our National Landmark Meeting House across the parking lot, please meet up here near your left side of the auditorium close to the windows, and I have it on a good source that we have a guide who will meet you there. We welcome children to stay for the duration of the service, although it's a bit difficult for some in attendance to hear in this lively acoustical environment, so our child haven back in that corner and the commons are places to go if they would like to sing, dance, run around in circles, talk, or whatever they'd like to do, you may go there. Although, like another time recently, today we had the darling sounds of a gurgling baby in the service, and at least we all enjoyed it, so maybe we'll get that to benefit again today. Please also though, for sure, turn off your cell phones or the ringers or anything else that might make noise and disrupt the service. Thanks for that. I'd now like to acknowledge the individuals who are helping our service run smoothly today. We have Mark Schultz, whoops, sorry, I was going to wait, back on the sound hiding behind the big sound console. We have Anne Smiley as our minister. We have as our greeter, Elizabeth Barrett, and our ushers are, again, Anne Smiley, also Chuck Evenson and Stan Inhorn. Jeannie Hills is on hospitality back in the kitchen, making coffee and water for Coco. Not sure what else she has back there, but definitely coffee, because after all, this is a Unitarian Universalist congregation and we always have coffee. Please note the announcements in the red floors insert to your order of service. That's this little folded brochure where there's lots of information about what's going on here in the next few days and other opportunities available to us as Unitarian Universalists. And Steve Goldberg, whom you all know as our longtime host for Cabaret would like me to say, Friday, May 12, 89 days from now is Cabaret, and you've all heard him say that or sing about it or whatever. Again, welcome. We hope today's service will stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and stir your spirit. Thank you to our choir. It is a pleasure to welcome to our pulpit today the Reverend Scott Rudolph from the UU Church of the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Good morning, everybody. It is great to be with you here on this very, very blue and sunshiny day. I'd like to open our time together with this reading by Nancy Schaefer from her wonderful little book, Instructions in Joy. Witness. Witness to that place before words know how to say themselves or thoughts have an inkling that they will be born. To that quiet place where the holy dwells, that place before knowing, stillness before form, where tears cannot stop, confined no ending, and crying out fills the sky. And also to that place where the earth first turns and turning turns to bounty and we stumble upon hope. Out of love, out of longing, you come. Indeed, we come together on a Sunday morning to witness life unfolding in front of us and to find new ways to participate in it. Let us rejoice in our hearts and with one another as we begin our worship together. And if you would, please rise and body or in spirit to join in the words printed in your order of service as we light our chaps. May the lighting of this flame renew in us our endless search for all that is right and true, our abiding love of life and all who share it with us and our unending dedication to following paths of peace and justice. And I invite you to turn that abiding love to your neighbors. Good morning. The children would like to come forward for our time for all ages or the young and the young at heart or really anyone who'd like to come down front, you're more than welcome. There are a lot of kids in this church. There were this many kids this morning too. What a wonderful thing. Good morning everybody. Good morning. It's nice to meet you all. I'd like to tell you a story. Does that sound good? Stories? All right, we all like stories. So most stories begin. Well, sometimes they begin. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago. Right? This story begins. Once upon a time, not that very long ago at all, there was a minister who woke up on a Sunday morning and he woke up and he stretched on this Sunday morning and he thought, oh, man, this bed I'm sleeping in is so comfortable. It's so comfortable. I'm so glad that I have a bed to sleep in. And he got out of bed and he started his day and he was sleeping in a hotel. He was on the fifth floor of this hotel. Do you all know what elevators are? Right? Elevators are super cool? Well, elevators are amazing because you get into an elevator and the doors close and you're somewhere and you push a button and the doors open and this minister believes that's amazing because he really doesn't actually know how elevators work but he uses them all the time and elevators are amazing. So he got downstairs and he saw a newspaper and on this newspaper was printed all kinds of information that happened in that town the day before and in this country the day before and in the world the day before all in this one little folded up piece of paper for him to read. And then he got out his phone as people often do and he started looking at it and he thought, these phones, smart phones, you know, hopefully none of you have them yet but maybe your parents or guardians do and he thought, wow, these phones are amazing and he looked on the phone and what did he see? He saw that one of his friends had had a baby and it was so amazing and he was so full of joy and then, since it was Sunday and since he was a minister, he headed for church and so he got in a car with his friends and drove the church and on the way to church he was thinking, you know what? I don't know how cars work either but they are amazing because if I had to walk from if this person had to walk from the hotel to the church it would take, I don't know, an hour and so the minister arrived at that church that particular morning and it was a beautiful day and he got there kind of early, there was no one there yet and it was dark and it was a beautiful church this particular church that he showed up at he had never seen a church like it there was all kinds of wood everywhere and all these angles everywhere and everyone seemed so happy to be at this church and then something even more incredible happened people started to fill the church and all these people were so happy to be there and they showed up and they brought their children and it was great and then something even more amazing happened about nine o'clock at about nine o'clock church worship service started and there was music and there was singing and then this minister got a special surprise one of his friends that he knows from his old life old, when he was your age when he was like three years old an old friend that he only gets to see once a decade showed up and it was amazing for him and so church started and there was music and it was beautiful and there were people singing and it was wonderful and there was community, a sense of community coming alive and it's what happens at church on a Sunday, it was great and then there were some opening words and then there was another song and then there was some wonderful music by some children singing and then this minister said something like if the children would like to come forward for the time for all ages, please do or the young at the young heart or anybody who would like to come down it all is more than welcome to come down and then one of the coolest things that's going to happen all day happened to this minister he came up with all these kids and they all started looking at the minister the end what? oh, this? you're right I am that minister and that's the story of my morning that's the story of my day so far and you know what, because I've been paying attention and thinking about it it has been an absolutely amazing day but it doesn't always happen like that but it doesn't always happen so let me ask you what do you think is amazing in this world or in this life or about your day? what do you think is amazing? your dog, yes what else is amazing? your cats your dog excited animals are amazing indeed, what else is amazing? what about over here? puppies, we have some animal lovers up here this morning people are just knowing how to do stuff like read and write if we have brains that can make us work as humans what else is amazing? what about over here? what else is amazing? anything? your cats your cats are amazing raise your hand if you have a pet in the front room a lot of animals so here's one of the things I do when I'm not exactly sure what's amazing or maybe I'm having a bad day over here, here's a trick you can do you can close your eyes, cover them and look at the first thing you see when you open your eyes and I bet it's amazing so I'm going to try this here look at that guy right there and he's wearing glasses and I'll tell you what, glasses are amazing can you imagine if we didn't have corrective lenses we all would be walking around not being able to see let's try it again I saw that light back there I feel I've noticed that awesome light back there it's covered and these lights are coming through it it's speckled, it's a beautiful design behind the light that's amazing and so you can do this anytime you can close your eyes and you open them and if you think about it, whatever you look at it's probably going to be amazing so let's try this one time those flowers are amazing indeed so let's all try this one more time let's put our hands over our eyes and look this way and open them look what we see we see the choir and they're amazing and they're going to sing us another song before you all go to your religious education classes rainbows are beautiful morning comes from Clark several years ago shortly parents attention to a shining star the parents were occupied with time and schedules the irritabilities of the day and other worthy preoccupations yes, yes we see the star now I'm busy, don't bother me on hearing this the young one launched through the porch door fixed a fiery gaze and said you be glad at that star I will not forget the incident or his perfect words it was one of those rare moments when you get everything you need for the good of your soul reprimand disclosure and blessing it was especially good for me that surprising moment because I am one who responds automatically and negatively to the usual exhortations to quote pause and be more appreciative of life unquote fortunately I was caught grandly off guard there is a notion with some truth to it that we cannot command joy, happiness appreciation fulfillment we do not engineer the seasons of the soul or enjoy the quality of mood in another and yet I do believe there is right and wisdom in that imperative declaration you be glad at that star if we cannot impel ourselves into a stellar gladness we can at least clean the dust from the lens of our perception if we cannot dictate our own fulfillment we can at least steer in the right direction if we cannot exact a guarantee for a more appreciative awareness of our world for persons and stars and breathing and tastes and the incalculable gift of every day we can at least prescribe some of the conditions through which an increased awareness is more likely to open up in the skies for us and for our children it is not always the great evils that obstruct and waylay our joy it is our unnecessary and undignified surrender to the petty enemies and I suggest it is our duty to scheme against them and make them subservient to human decree time and schedules our irritabilities of the day and other worldly preoccupations matters more subtle and humane should command our lives you be glad at that star I invite you to rise and body or in spirit for our next hymn which we will sing twice sometimes this voice shows up and it offers us some peace some comfort other times it might suggest some soft insight into our life and sometimes this voice shows up just to say wow my dad does this thing whenever we're in a large crowd he's done it my entire life whether it's a sporting event or a parade or anywhere where there's lots of people gathered he shows up and he stands there and he says wow would you look at all the people and he does it without fail it's hilarious and so it became somewhat of an inside joke between my brothers one of those inside jokes if you have siblings that you have behind your parents back and they don't know that you do it and they keep reinforcing the joke over and over which just makes it more and more funny but he would do it all the time without fail he'd show up and you could count on this musing from him and the thing is he meant it he meant it every single time he was amazed and he would stand there motionless at people gathered doing whatever it is that humans were doing wow would you look at all the people what I think what my dad was doing in these moments is being glad at that star he was just taking it in and appreciating it you'd be glad at that star that's some good advice from a three and a half year old and a three and a half year old is a good place to get some great advice the world around us is brilliant and sometimes we just forget to notice we shove it off to the side because we're busy we have schedules to keep and our minds are preoccupied and worried or there's the monkey mind that will never stop but sometimes if we're lucky or forced out of our routine we might remember to be glad at that star whatever that star might be on that given moment because at any given moment there is a star to be glad at like rotten logs or dirty puddles the poet Hubbard wrote oh god how wonderful are thy works thou makest the rotting log to nourish banks of violence and from the stagnant pool at thy words springs forth the lotus that covers all the fragrance and beauty rotten logs and dirty puddles there's brilliance and so I think there is a difference between awe and appreciation and gratitude though they are similar there is slight difference awe is that thing that Nancy Schaefer is talking about that before words even formed that sense of being struck and awe and gratitude is much more linked to a response it's thankfulness but appreciation is something that happens right in between those two appreciation that moment that act and art of noticing of seeing in life the good and the possible and the incredible who you're caught up in a moment and you think to yourself wow and I find that I'm in times that I need to remind myself and ground myself in the good and the possible as I think to the spiritual and cultural and justice challenges that are ahead for us in this country and in our world I need to ground myself in this spiritual place there is a bumper sticker that says and when a minister says there is a bumper sticker that says you know he could not find the proper attribution for this phrase so there is a bumper sticker that says if you're not angry you're not paying attention very true if you're not outraged at the things that are happening in the world you're just not paying attention because they're there but another bumper sticker that could fit right next to that other one on that bumper would be if you're not astonished at the beauty of life then you're not paying attention both are true Albert Einstein said there are only two ways to live your life one as though nothing is a miracle and the other is as though everything is a miracle and so I prefer the second no I choose the second okay I try to choose the second on a good day when things are going right and I remember to I might choose the second but this noticing of life in itself is a miracle it can be hard to notice those moments of the miraculous and the mundane and so we take things for granted until oftentimes they're not there anymore when it's taken away from us and we notice the absence of the beauty rather than the presence of the beauty and this can show up in things as mundane as starting our car when we start our car it's only when that key doesn't start and the engine doesn't fire that we think how important our car is in our afternoons activities how we rely on it how complex that system is inside the hood it's that time that we think of that and probably not before and so we hear we get to the part where the minister says well you should just appreciate things more make lemonade out of lemons and this is one of the reasons why I really like this reading this morning he puts it right out there you know what I don't like being told to appreciate things he acknowledges that you can't force happiness and gratitude he says we do not engineer the seasons of the soul or enjoying the quality of mood in another you can't just make it happen and that is the truth for if I am in a car and it does not start the last thing I want to hear someone say in my ear is but isn't it great every other time it does start no I want my car to start then and they're both true but there are places in our life where we can remember where we can try to orient ourselves towards this there's no way that we could not take life for granted it's too large and too varied and too wonderful and too unbelievable I mean life itself we're here how do we even begin to grapple with that and appreciate that and so when deep philosophical questions like that are posed I will turn to the comedian Louis C.K. who once spoke about this so very well and this is adapted because when you quote Louis C.K. in church you have to adapt it he says that I was on an airplane and there was high speed internet on this plane and it was the newest thing I didn't even know it existed and I'm sitting on the plane and they say open up your laptops and you can go on the internet and it's fast and I'm watching YouTube clips and it's amazing because I'm on a plane on the internet and then it breaks down and they apologize because the internet's not working and the guy next to me goes this is ridiculous right I mean how quickly the world owes this guy something that he only knew existed 10 seconds ago and flying is the worst because people come back from flights and they tell you their story like it's a horror story they say it was the worst day of my life first of all we didn't board for 20 minutes and then we got on the plane and we had to wait for 40 more minutes they made you sit for 40 more minutes and what happened next did you fly through the air incredibly like a bird did you take part in the miracle of human flight I mean everybody on a plane should just continually be saying oh my god this is awesome because you are flying through the air in a chair in the sky but all we can think is no it just doesn't lean back quite enough and so yes this is me and this is you and this is all of us it is good to fly with my children they remind me that it is amazing to fly and to look out that window on our earth below us and just remember how amazing it is I get expectant and the good becomes normalized there's so much that is amazing and we don't always remember because there are obstacles in our way our brain sometimes tend to see the negative in life rather than the positive negativity bias it's the psychological phenomenon that points to the power of negativity and how we perceive and process life it's those unpleasant memories that are easier to recall than the pleasant ones it's the idea that negative things can stick out stronger and be more instructive as we are forming our impressions and opinions of people and places and we often go out of our way to behave in patterns that will not replicate negative experiences of the past and sometimes negativity is just more attractive for some strange reason right like who doesn't enjoy a good wallow every once in a while in your own misery and perhaps this is the same reason this negativity being attractive that I keep reading the news over and over and over again I have bad days and I have good days and even on my best of days when there's one little thing that's out of place that can be the thing that I'm thinking about when I go to sleep negativity can pile up and start to take hold and that's all before we think about hedonic adaptation and this is the idea that humans adapt and adapting is a good thing but we keep adapting to better and better things and so I had an experience of this just this morning I was drinking coffee with some people and one of them said oh thank goodness finally some good coffee I had some coffee at the hotel and it was not good coffee who here likes to drink good coffee fantastic who here still doesn't mind drinking bad coffee you who have your hands raised never drink good coffee ever again because you will be happy with your bad coffee and once you go to the good coffee you'll never want to go back and this shows up all over in our life this undue satisfaction our personal life and our family lives and our work with our friends and I know I see it at church all the time how much love and how much energy and effort does it take to make this church happen from name tags to orders of service to setting up chairs to the music to all the planning that happens throughout the week and sometimes we come in and we just notice that little thing that's off maybe the unswept stairway or something that didn't quite go our way we fail to see the miraculous because we expect the miraculous all the time and we simply can't do that we would never even make it through a meal contemplating where the food came from how incredible it is to have it in front of us how incredible forks are to eat our meal so we don't but sometimes we might offer a blessing or grace before the meal to simply appreciate it before we rush headlong in to life and to our eating and so it becomes a spiritual task to remember and notice this beauty and goodness in life and so I'd like to pose to you the same question that I asked the children this morning what is it that you find amazing about life what is miraculous and wonderful if you have something just say it children absolutely health family and the sun especially when we can see it right and a shower your animals you could have come down earlier you would have been a good company what what else is incredible amazing listening to my preschool friend that's the friend I was talking about earlier that I only get to see once every couple decades my neighbors books beautiful outdoors about this here's a different one what's incredible and amazing about this church and this church community music as I'm quick learning that concern for justice and peace good coffee but don't be tempted you people who have not had it this place to ask questions open the architecture absolutely many schools of religious thought coming together and us taking what is good what about this question even more localized what is amazing and incredible about you anyone brave enough to be so bold wake up every morning with open minds and open hearts absolutely you are resilient I'm sure you are anyone else so brave we can love we have the capacity to love this happened this morning too a humble congregation people are less willing to share those things that are amazing or incredible about themselves but I'll encourage you to believe those and hold those and notice those because they are true and they feed us and we can ignore those amazing things inside of ourselves as well in doing this attention to what is beautiful is not not naive or blissful it's not wishing away pain without seeking growth or experiencing that pain sometimes things in life are hard of course there's illness and death and grief and struggle and depression and shame and failure all of that is very real and we know that growing is important too constructive criticism is important that's how we as individuals grow that's how our institutions improve and get better this is inherent in our liberal religious philosophy and we know that justice is rooted in a sense of finding and seeing the hard truths in life and being dissatisfied with kindness and with inequity and so the religious life invites us to hold multiple things at once if we can to accept the struggle and also see the beauty because this is how life happens right it doesn't all get bad it doesn't all remain good it all happens at once life all happens at once E.B. White wrote if the world were merely seductive that would be easy if we're merely challenging that would be no problem but I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve or save the world and a desire to enjoy or savor the world and this makes the day hard to plan when planning our day the field of positive psychology is one of those things that can lead us toward a happier life and that we can actually cultivate it we have a say in this and so one of the ways we can do this is to find tools just to remind ourselves and remember because often times it's just a matter of remembering and so you can do different things like when bells go off appreciate something when you see the color red let that be your reminder or maybe a bracelet or how about this one when we go off let that cue you to think about what around you is amazing we can practice mindfulness we can smile we can appreciate others which helps them and helps us in turn and one way that I have certainly found to remind myself about what is good and beautiful and true in the world is coming to church this place where we lift up our values of love, faith and justice and peace and fairness this place where we come together as a religious community to be in bonded fellowship and see what happens this reminds me of the deepness of the spiritual well that is available to all of us and so last summer I found myself at a large outdoor concert it was on a huge lawn and folks were throwing frisbees back and forth they were having fun and I looked out and I kid you not without thinking under my breath I muttered wow look at all the people I really did and I was glad I did we can't make ourselves be glad at celestial bodies we can't force appreciation or gratitude it comes from within but I can do my best to try and remember what sparks the kindling and lights that fire of gratitude in front of inside of me because that is the place that appreciation points to is deep gratitude over time there are things that get in our way of course a routine of life or schedules deadlines, grievances, apathy but it only takes a moment to look up at the sky and see a star twinkle and be filled with an ineffable awe and so that's our challenge only to remember to find those moments and to claim them and to invite each and every day into our life to be glad at that star whatever that star may be but to be glad at that star amen we are joined by acts of creation and compassion we now take an offering that allows us to exercise that all-important generosity of spirit an offering that will support the self-supporting church and its many ministries the gifts of the congregation will now be gratefully received thank you Linda we gather each week a community of memory and of hope to this time and place we carry with us the joys and sorrows of the recent past and seek a place where they might be received, celebrated and shared we take a moment now to share those joys and those concerns that are living here within our congregation we hold Hathaway Hasler and her family in our hearts as they grieve the death of her daughter Hathaway Happy Brooks Happy passed away suddenly in her sleep on January 30 the fifth and memorial service was held on February 4 we send our love to the Hasler and Brooks families we send our love and care to Kirsten Carlson and her family on the loss of Kirsten's father John Carlson after a bone marrow transplant we send much love and strength to them and for all those joys and sorrows that remain quiet in the silence of our hearts let us take a moment of quiet and hope may our coming together and sharing of lives lighten our sorrows and expand our joy I invite you to rise in body or in spirit for our closing here I invite you to place your hymnals in your chair if you are willing if you are also willing will you please place your hands over your eyes and turn and face some slight different direction than you were previously facing and now open them and see what you see isn't that amazing go forward into this day with eyes to see new beauty in the world refreshed and made anew by the spirit of love that is alive in this place and created by these people by you people

Okay, so remind yourself. What was the salmon brain made out of? Again, somebody tell me true. A phospholipid bilayer. Let's write the words down. It's a phospho... I can't help it. Lipid, and it's a bilayer. Bi-2 layer. It's like a double layer. Okay, and now I'm going to draw you a picture of it. Here's one phospholipid. Do you agree? And what was the lipid part of it? Remember, that's just a fatty acid.  So look at this. This is my other layer. My phospholipid, there's one half, and here's the other half.  Whoa. My phosphos are a little bit far, but that's okay. I can embed stuff in that salmon brain right there. So look at how... I've got all these phosphos, and now let's add my lipids. Two fatty acid tails on each one, and you see my two layers? My phospholipid bilayer? Okay, here's my question for you. Label the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid. Oh my gosh, I wish that I was making clicker questions right now, because this would be a phenomenal clicker question too, to have this and then ask you where everything is. Where is the intracellular fluid? Here, here, or here? First of all, the one thing that you do know is it is not here. That is not intracellular fluid. This is like the wall of the cell.  If I were a rock star, I could totally draw out a bilayer right in there. I am not a rock star, I'm almost a rock star, though. All right, so let's just arbitrarily label this as my extracellular fluid and this as my intracellular fluid. I want to know where is the hydrophobic part of the cell membrane? Remember, hydrophobic, phobic fear, hydro water, fear of water is going to be in the lipid portion. So this area, the whole green area from here to here, this whole thing is hydrophobic. So water, can water get through my little cell membrane? It's going to be kind of repelled because we have a little water molecule we're in here, H-H-O. This little water guy was in here.  They're all afraid of me, boo! And then all the little phospholipids, the lipid part of the phospholipids would be like, hey, we're scared, it's water. But what about the phospho part? This is what's cool, this is what's unique about the phospholipid bilayer. The phospho part is hydrophilic, hydrophilic. Now, go ahead and just think for a second about the consequences of this. If the phospho part was not hydrophilic, then imagine it would be hydrophobic and it would like curl up in a ball. It would be like a blob of oil in water. It would just, all of it would come together.  Can you imagine that? Like if you smeared out a whole bunch of people along a wall and each one of the people are touching the wall, but then if you turn them into a ball, same number of people, but you just smush them up into a ball, you could actually make it to where like only two or three of them are touching the wall because the rest of them are like all crammed together in a little ball. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I'm doing a windy like analogy in my brain. The point is that the shape, the phospholipid bilayer, the very nature of it allows a separation between inside and outside and that is really important. In addition, this is cool.  Okay, whatever, nobody knows what that is. I'm trying to draw you cholesterol. Now, cholesterol is super hydrophobic because it's a lipid also and so if water tries to come through and there's a whole bunch of cholesterol in the cell membrane, the water is going to not be able to come through at all. So if you want a waterproof cell that won't let water in and out, there's a whole bunch of cholesterol in the cell membrane and you will totally get what you wanted. If you want a more permeable cell to water, then throw in less cholesterol. Cholesterol also, in addition to making the cell more waterproof, it also increases stability. So it makes it harder for the cell to pop basically because the cell membrane is a little more solid. So the other thing that you're going to find are various proteins. This is a transporter and then you also have little signaling molecules and we'll see those all embedded in. You can see that this is a cholesterol, these little yellow things are cholesterol, but there's lots of stuff embedded in the cell membrane. Go back to the fantastic X vivo video on the cell and get a sense of this kind of fluid nature of the cell membrane.   It's like a fluid thing and they refer to it as a fluid mosaic because the stuff embedded in the cell membrane itself like here actually floats around. Like these are little islands. Go back and watch the X vivo cell video again and you can totally get a sense of that kind of watery but you know, all those phosphos of the phospholipids you can totally see them. All right, I think that's everything for the structure of the cell membrane. Now we're going to look at what kinds of things can we build using cell membrane. We think of the cell membrane as surrounding the entire cell and that's true but we can use cell membrane, this stuff, the phospholipid bilayer with stuff embedded in it. We can use that to build structures inside our cell. So let's look at some of those structures we can build.


We're really just getting into the installs and trying to get the young guys caught up with the older guys and trying to extend the playbook for those older guys and getting them to play fast within some of the beginning stages of the installs. But just getting everybody on the same page, got a lot of new faces. But getting these guys to come together on both sides of the football and then starting to install our special team. So trying to play all three phases of the game and get prepped up for week one.

Now, do that over and over again. Let's finish the entire head, put some dry shampoo in there, or some hairspray, and boom, that's it.

So I'm here at the Jardin de Plante in Paris which Apparently is meant to get exciting somewhere more around, you know May or June because right now I don't think even the fish are happy in here right now it's kind of Out of season in this area Few nice things in the middle will go see in a second because this part not so much in the greenhouse might be exciting So this is more like it Big ol' ease Now if you're coming in here looking for flowers and stuff, this isn't gonna be your ballgame This place is really just exciting because it's got so many different varieties of different trees and plants that are Unusual for this environment So these in here obviously ones that you only gonna find around these areas So definitely in the more tropical and hot regions Otherwise, you're not gonna see these guys around England very much or even in France They've managed to find some nice flowers in this area really like these yellow and white ones here Remember all the greenhouse was really just meant for lots of cool greenery lots of different interesting plants They have a nice little pond with some fishies in it as well, which is cool Also found some other nice leaves like these guys pretty cool. I enjoyed them And then this orange flower blossom Bing some other little ones as well Yeah, but the greenhouse is really nice overall how these ones here that look like a nice derivative of a peace lily And then this one also looks like an orchid of some kind possibly or good friends. Is this an orchid? I am not sure it might be though It has that kind of style. That's for sure But actually my favorite area I think in the greenhouse here was this area where all the Desert succulents and cacti were There was just something about them that just was really cool I like the way that it was set up and I liked all the different varieties. They had they had it really well labeled you can see What each one was very easily So as yeah, it's really nice in that respect that you were able to tell what every single one was You tell it species They're all separate whereas in the main greenhouse. It's just you know, everything's so overloaded Sometimes it's kind of hard to tell, you know tree from tree plant from plant But these guys were wonderful and some aloe plants in there as well, which was really cool but overall the gardens were actually created in 1626 and This is the Louis the 13th who up creed them and originally they were supposed to be a medicinal herb garden and That was until 1635 But they were originally known as the Jardin Dua a garden of the King and it was actually open to the public in 1640 and After things fell apart for a while cool cactus the Jean-Baptiste Coulbert took over control the gardens and Harked things back up again Wasn't until 1693 that he got a nice team around him that helped create the gardens and turn them into a much better place From what they originally were at the time that their holdings included like almost 7,000 specimens that they had used in the Herbarium, but The ones I went back outside found some other really cool plants as well Some nice flowers all along the way here see these guys ran all the way towards this wonderful building, which is actually a history museum Yeah, so they had the history museum there and This is yeah, you can see these long rows of flowers and then From the greenhouse leading into the natural history museum on the outside as this beautiful beautiful pearlescent Windows or glasswork on it is very beautiful. I really liked it But this guy here the comp de bouffon was apparently responsible as the curator from 1739 and He actually expanded the grounds and out of a lamp or anything and helped to redesign it into what it more is today That's about it. That's my wonderful video for today Hope you enjoyed it and as always, you know, please go ahead and subscribe and like and share and hit that Bell icon And we'll all be good friends and have a good time, but yeah, my friends Hit you on the flip side till the next time take care of each other and I'll see you in the next video


Me and my family we just got back from Lamar Jackson restaurant up in Pompano play action soul food and It's always on point. Y'all know we done been there plenty of times in the food is always great I'm not just saying that just to say it It really is like that consistently. So if you ever come down here, please go But speaking of being down here in Florida, maybe not South Florida, but Florida somebody else Who we've been watching? They are in Florida as well, and that is Judevian Clowney and it came out today that Judevian Clowney He is visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars now if I take y'all back just a couple days ago when it first broke Not only that Judevian Clowney had visited the Baltimore Ravens But when the news broke that Judevian Clowney got an offer the Ravens offer Judevian Clowney a contract. I said in that video that It's just weird because normally stuff like that doesn't come out from the Ravens So I figured it was coming from Judevian Clowney side Just so he could try to garner some interest from another team So he could either get more money from another team or get more money from the Ravens because that would essentially Put the Ravens in a bidding war with somebody else for Judevian Clowney services So that would put pressure on both teams if they really want Judevian Clowney Obviously the Ravens do because they they send them a contract off and say like hey Judevian Clowney We want to sign you we want to bring you in we want you to be a Baltimore Ravens, but now With him visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars This could mean a couple of different things. It could mean one. Hey, maybe Jacksonville is significantly interested in Judevian Clowney They really could be that's a real possibility Another thing it could be him sort of playing with them Well, I mean they got to be interested in order to bring him in for a visit So I believe the interest is real, but Judevian Clowney could be using them to put more pressure on the Ravens Because again, maybe he got that contract offer from Baltimore. It was like, um, that's straight, but I could use a little bit more I need a little more money for my services So Ravens they they got a decision to make Maybe they got choices to make they can either be like look We want Judevian Clowney. We feel like he's a great fit But we're not willing to budge on our offer Jacksonville. He's all yours.  We feel like he'll be a perfect fit We'll add another meal to we'll add another couple of meal incentives to the deal We'll try to sweeten the deal that much more because we really want you to be a Baltimore Raven so This is this is the game man This is the game. This is part of the game within the game and we talked about this in the video Well, it's business man. It's business And I am never going to be mad at somebody trying to get their bread And that's what it seems like is going on with Judevian Clowney. He's trying to get his bread Now, um, when you look at when you compare the two teams with one another Jacksonville Jaguars Baltimore Ravens Two teams with young Talented quarterbacks, obviously Lamar Jackson, you know him, but then you got travel Lawrence on the other end Travel Lawrence. Hey, that boy's gonna be nice, man Did this thing like it and in the playoffs last year you saw travel Lawrence through four interceptions And it was funny because I would never forget that game because we tweeted before the game started Trevor Lawrence is going to throw four touchdowns in this game He said it before the game started And when he threw them four interceptions have people tweeting me all kind of crazy stuff What are you talking about? What are you thinking? What are you what you don't know what you're saying? Don't watch football And he came back in through four touchdowns Oh I went through every single person that says I'm crazy and replied to all of them every last one Because I was on petty mode that time anyway Travel Lawrence is nice, too um, the Jacksonville Jaguars when you compare them to the Baltimore Ravens Uh, jadevi and clowny could look and see which one he feels is closer to a championship if That is even something that he is interested in because again And that feels not all about championships Not every player is looking to go to a team. That's a true contender They're not like as fans. Yeah, we want our team to be contenders. We want our teams to go all the way We're not we want our team to win every single Super Bowl there is But from the player's perspective They don't all look at it like that. Yeah. Hey Super Bowls are great But these guys are trying to get paid They're trying to make some money Because that's that's what it is. They this is their job So yeah, having that ultimate success as a Super Bowl champion would be great But then at the same time You don't want to be no broke Super Bowl champ Like a Super Bowl ring was nice But you don't want the Super Bowl ring to be worth more than your paycheck is If you NFL player Because that's a real possibility and there are people who are obviously on sort of the uh, the the lower end of the roster salary wise Where a Super Bowl ring may be worth more than their weekly paycheck But that's I mean that's life in NFL. That doesn't make them a bad play anything like that Uh, because again, like I always say it's only one percent of people that make it to the league So anyway, well with judevian clowny um And the baltimore ravens it was put out there that the ravens they still been talking to judevian clowny He's still been talking to cow venoy. Um, so Excuse me and it was said that they talked to some other free agent, uh hd and guys as well So apparently they they they keeping their options open But if judevian clowny is at the top of your list, I mean, it seems that he is if you offered him a deal This could mess that up Because I'm not sure how much money the baltimore ravens have Um, but I would be pretty sure that the jackson veal jack was most likely got some more But either way, uh, this could really Mess up their plans with judevian clowny. So we're gonna see We're gonna see Um, I think then the ravens they already lost. Yeah, they already lost one defensive into the jaguars. Remember, um Dwayne smooth Dwayne smooth who played for the jaguars? Uh, and he had been playing for them for the past couple of years and the ravens were interested in him He was even scheduled to to visit the baltimore ravens. He's getting ready to come out fly the baltimore and all that But jackson veal said hold on wait there, buddy You coming right back home And they signed them to a deal signed them to a deal So will the jaguars end up one up in the ravens again when it comes to adding another defensive in? We're gonna see But team keep it clean when we find out Make sure you subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on so when we find out We'll let you know and I know it's the same thing vice versa. I love y'all I appreciate y'all And even though he had a great visit with the baltimore ravens just jacina anderson reported that he liked What he saw he liked his visit with the baltimore ravens. I'm sure they treated him very well Especially I mean when you want somebody to join your team you offer them a contract. You're definitely gonna treat them very well, but Despite all that just like jadevan clown. He told the baltimore ravens after that visit ended I'm out


It's that it is a group of a bunch of different people from different parts of the area and we all come together This on Wednesday nights to learn songs and sing together and then sing on Sundays Which is always a nice fun thing to get dressed up I think my favorite part of rehearsing is probably just catching up with everyone every week and then just warming up singing We have a great community. I really like finding new songs. We're gonna sing worship services We get to you know, have that same fun like energy like beforehand stuff like that And it's fun to like show everybody what work we've done. I Think the biggest thing that I look for for teens is community so many kids are just looking for a place to belong and as soon as they're singing about music it's about belonging about Discovering who you are it really gives them a place to kind of put their own personal story into the music I think there's a great teacher. I've learned a lot especially with singing and Always fun to be around her. Heather, she's awesome. She is super encouraging and Whenever you do something wrong or right does not matter She will always find something to give you props on and like she's just a really fun Like teacher. She's really nice. I think she's a really good teacher. I Want them to find their own way But really what it's about is helping the kids find that own their own spiritual path through music And also a lot of songs I get to learn are super fun One of my favorite songs would probably be the shepherds chorus really like open the door Robin's egg is blue a song. Another one is the resilience. I love that song Let's three days a quiet holy place. Just come Just come and see we have so much fun just Laughing and exploring music and we'll sing a little bit of everything No matter what everybody will find something that they enjoy when we're together. It's really fun It's really fun. It's very fun. It's really fun. It's addicting


And just before I open up for questions, I just wanted to send my condolences to Greg Knaps family. I never knew Greg personally never worked with him, but he had a huge impact on this building. And he had a huge impact on a lot of relationships with players and coaches and staff around here. So I just want to send my condolences to his family and the league will miss him. But that I'll open this up for questions. Yeah, so we go back to the, you know, the basics and the installs and again, we're just building them up, right? The rules are as you get acclimatized to the to the practices, we're building up reps, we're building up. Obviously how many yards we're running these guys. So there's a purpose to everything we're doing, but made progress. You know, we got a ways to go in a lot of areas, but good first step. Yeah, me too. That'll be Tuesday. Sure. Absolutely. It's just the style and the way we practice. I mean, we don't think we're, we're special or any better than anybody, but there's a certain way we want to operate the way that when we go and we're wearing our full speed periods, there's a certain style that we want to play with. And so that's what we're on about. And a lot of it, you got to get in condition.  There's nothing that quite prepares for other than practice and getting through these first four days. Sure. Yeah, so we feel really good. We've got a very high vaccination rate. Obviously, when you put guys on the COVID IR, it could be for a couple of different things. We'll see some guys back sooner than others. And we're different spots too with the team. We've got a big portion that's fully vaccinated. We've got guys that are waiting after their second shot. We've got a couple that are in between, and we only have a handful that haven't gotten it yet. So we feel really good where we're at. Jake and his staff and we just made it available. Told them what the facts are. Didn't try to pander. Go speak to the medical professionals and make your own choice. So we feel pretty good about where we're at. Sure. We'll bring him along. He's good to see him out there. And so he obviously didn't go on PUP and he's out there working and we got to build him up. Sure. So we put three guys on PUP. So just go know. You won't see him in camp. You know, we'll follow up with him. Obviously, we wouldn't put him on PUP if we didn't think he had a chance to come back. You know, he'll get evaluated further here soon and we'll know more than. But there's a chance and that's why you put somebody like that on PUP. So not same thing. You won't see us to not in camp. So he's recovering from an upper body injury. So those two guys, now with Caleb, I don't want to put a timeline on it, but I would think it'd be sooner rather than later. We're just being smart here. And Caleb knows we got high expectations for Caleb to come in there and compete with the right tackle. And it's been crystal clear and he's in a good frame of mind. George, you've been through your first PA in First Man Campus. Was today special and did you have butterflies? Was it anything more to today than expected? Your mind, at least everybody's different, right? So my mind was working out. Obviously, I tried to get some sleep last night.  It's like the first day of school. But once that horn goes and boys and Kenny start screaming, we're on. And I just, in my mind, I'm coaching, trying to make sure, you know, trying to touch every part of the team and be there and do my job. Coach football team. So it was fun. It's fun to be out there. Can you prove yourself to the new coaching staff and new staff members? You know, what can a guy like Grady, a two-time pro bowler, approve in this strength camp? Well, I mean, it's, look, you know, Grady's had a good career at this point. And like all guys that are highly competitive and Grady's in the way he works, trying to get better. You can improve every year. You know, sometimes early in their career, you may have more of a physical jump, not others, but mentally, you can never stop growing and improving. And, you know, he's, he's one of our leaders and I enjoy working with him. Jeff, I'm just curious, as a new head coach, do you turn the screws pretty hard at the beginning and maybe back off as people accepted? Yeah, just been direct and honest from the whole time since we've had them in the spring. You know, you build them up in the way that the rules were in the spring and then now you're out here and you're getting into the full speed reps. They know what the expectation is when we talk. You have a team meeting every day. And then out here, a lot of it is, is pushing them and trying to get them to understand how we want to practice. And it's new. Sometimes you don't really know where to go on it. You're kind of now praying between because you're still working and so I'm wondering, are you trying to pay attention and wander the field and checking in on your group? Yeah, I am. I'm trying to be everywhere. That's what I said.   We talk about in the building here and then you got to let, you got to hire a good staff and let them coach. So I don't feel like I need to micromanage. Dave Ragon does a good job of logistics and coordinating the offense and those coaches do a nice job. So I like, just be present and move around. So I got a pulse on the whole team. Awesome. I know it's just day one of camp, but how would you define a successful training camp as a first-year coach? Really, it's, can we improve? Are we better, you know, going into September 12th than we are today? There's going to be growing pains along the way, and that's every year, whether it's year one or, you know, you hopefully get to year 10. And you need that, you need that team to improve. And so we're better going into September 12th as simple as that. And what's been the event about the Jeff's question from a coordinator just being out there today? Well, at times when you get mad at the offense for something, then you run around, you can congratulate the defense. And so at least that's a little plus, I guess. You can touch on this a little bit, but what was kind of the precedent and tone that you were hoping to set today that you hope carries through all the training camp? Really, it's just the style, the way we want to practice. We want guys, we got to be in good shape, we got to build their legs up. Yeah, it's really, it's as simple as that, the way that effort, going to the football, there's nothing special about it, but setting the tone that way. Yeah, I want to go back to what you were talking about. How do you actually mentally balance the head coach, you know, toward the interface of that during practice?  Absolutely. Yeah. And then the spring helps. And then I've familiarity with Dave and Dean. That also helps. So yeah, you do, you got to go through it. And obviously some of us trial and error when you're going to like getting reps, we ask the players to get a rep, coaches needs rep too. You need reps calling it, getting used to it again. Yes. And the thing is trust and hire a good staff. And I feel very comfortable with our staff, right?  Yeah, I just was curious, I'm like, like I was asking about mentally, like, do you mentally sit there like a week ago or three weeks ago? Okay, I need to be here.  All right. No, you know what's going on and what everybody's doing at that time? And, you know, try to prepare. And then sometimes it's improv, you know, you may see something you want to fix over here. So just on the fly real quick, just everything going on, heat everywhere. Where's your message to the team about keeping yourself safe? Sure. Yeah, it's, it's huge. You know, the league does a good job. Before you get there's a lot of administrative meetings you have with the players and the league and the PA do a nice job with the messaging. And then we got to implement that every day. And we do, we try to educate our players. You build in hydration breaks. I mean, that's where we've evolved come a long way since days where they wouldn't give you water. So trying to be smarter. Questions of your leaders that you turn to? Well, I mean, we'll see who emerges, you know, obviously we have high expectations for Matt and Grady, guys that have been through it, guys that are work and have the right mindset. And that was obvious from day one. And then you got to prove it every year. And that's the thing about Matt, Ryan, Grady, Jared, they're out here to prove it. It's great.  Those guys have had good careers, but they want to be, they want to be coached. They want to get better.  So day one could be anxious for a lot of players, but rookies in particular, what do you think about cow pits and some of the young guys, how they way we get focused and get the work in that you want to do? I was just happy that most of them got through it, to be honest. Some of them looked like they were, they were going to fall out. You really touched on it earlier, but when we were talking to Grady, he said one of the biggest differences is just the tempo from last coaching staff to this coaching staff. What kind of tempo is that that he's talking about? Just sort of that. You know, he could speak better on it than I can. I wasn't here. And they're, like I said, when I got this job, there have been good coaches here, been good players. All I know is the way that we want to do things and guys I learned from and pick the best, what you truly believe in, and they know that and they know the expectations. And then it's our, it's my job to make sure from the top down that we push them and enforce it and go follow through with what you say. Yeah, so I've been fortunate. I've said, I've said many times like I've done this forever, but I've been around some really, really good coaches in this game.  Obviously, you know, the most current, you know, being around Mike Rabeau, there's a lot of things the way he does things that that I believe in that I've tried to implement him. And that's, it's a huge credit to him. But there's a lot of guys from Joe Gibbs and Mike Malarkey that I know a lot too. So, yes, absolutely. I don't know how long, yes, I don't know what, I mean, how much time is he expecting him to miss? Well, we'll have to assess when he gets back. But Dante, you know, it is what it is. It's like an injury. So, you know, you hope he's healthy. And then when he gets back, we got to assess him. And same thing, he's got to go out there and enroll. And he knows that. What your day looks like now that practice is officially done off, feeling what do you go through and do now? It depends what Bassie's got on the docket for me here. And then so I can go in there and watch the film, talk to the coordinators. Then we'll have a special teams meeting and then we'll have a team meeting. We'll break, we'll have O and D and we'll walk through at night and then follow up with some more meetings. But it's pretty good. I will see if he can clear my calendar or not.

As a journalist, I feel that if I cannot work from home, we cannot keep our audience, we cannot keep people, keep people up to date about the facts. This will add to the rumour-mongering, this will definitely add to the panic. So this is the right time. I guess we should leave the conflict apart, take such initiatives that will help humanity, that will help people, that will get us out of this pandemic. My name is Tariq Ahmad and I live in Delhi and I am a houseboat owner. The problem is that the government has announced that we will give you 3,000 rupees for 3 months. This goes up to 33 rupees per day according to the date. As you can see, from 5th August, we were given the advisory that you should leave this place. So from there, from 5th August, there is no tourist here, all the tourists have fled. And it all depends on the tourists. Tourism is no more, finish here. This happened more than 5 days ago. Now we had a lot of expectations from the government, that they will do something for us. Instead of that, they have put a thousand rupees for our houseboat or hotel. They have made the biggest joke for us. The government. They wanted to know what their expenses are and since when they are traveling for tourism. My name is Shakir Mushtaq, I belong to the district of Chopin. We mostly depend on the saib, we are a grower. Saib is our product that we produce. And mostly we depend on the saib. But due to the lockdown, the whole world is in trouble. And Kashmir is the problem. Kashmir is our issue right now. It is the benefit of our saib. We have kept it in a cold store for the dumb page. Here the lockdown is there, we can't come here. We can't go anywhere. And now we need help from the government. We need urgent help. But what we are seeing on the ground level, nothing is happening. It has been at least a year since we started working. Since last August. This is our support. The transport business. Tourists have come and gone. No tourists come. We have no support from the Taxi Driver. This is our job. It has been two years now. This has become very bad. We are in trouble right now. Due to the lockdown, we are sitting at home. We are following it. We are following the social distancing. But the government doesn't understand how we are running this house. And we don't know if you have anything to eat. There is nothing to eat. We are running this house for 10 or 15 days. But we are in total loss.


Eight million people a year are diagnosed and pass away from cancer. Four million of those deaths are preventable. It literally is a disease that affects every single person on the planet. So cancer is hard to solve because of the complexity.  It is a beautiful thing. People who couldn't walk before get up and walk away. But then three months later everything comes back and it comes back much more aggressive and sadly we often lose these patients. We don't know why that is. We don't know where those cells are. For every discovery that we have it turns out there's two or three more doors that become unlocked and add layers of complexity. The day I was born my mom had cancer and it stayed sort of dormant in her body until I was 11 and that's when my life changed. I practically had a nervous breakdown and so she went through that treatment and she had surgery and chemo and all those things and I just remember just being panicked and I didn't want to leave the house and I didn't want to go to school and I didn't want to go hang out with my friends because I literally would just want to sit and look at my mother who maybe had just had treatment and watching her just deal with that and just making sure like if I just keep my eyes on her she'll live, she'll be okay and getting through that and then she gets diagnosed again but it's a different cancer and then getting back on that cycle and then she goes into remission and then she gets diagnosed again. What I think there's hope is that there is a little bit of a democratization of exploring biological sciences. You're going to have ideas and designs and solutions that no one could have ever imagined because they are not going to be affected by current paradigms. CRISPR, when I started my research, no idea what CRISPR was and now it's about to change the world. You could potentially introduce something that could change the sort of genome in a tumor and cause it to shrink up and die. I mean that's sort of a bold prediction but it's possible. I mean think about cancer prevention. Imagine if you could somehow get patients to increase their screening just the yearly screening. You can dare people to be creative. They can build upon existing technologies. It's a wide space. There's a lot to play but it's also something that needs a change. It needs a catalyst and I think that CRISPR can serve as that catalyst. It's a different life when you know that you have the possibility, a strong possibility of getting cancer and what that means and how you approach life. It changes your decisions. I had to explain this to my daughter when she was maybe 12. I would love to not have to have this conversation again.


Hei, gwaith. I'm Leticia Grace. I've learned a lot in my 25 years of life and these are the things that I just want to pass on to winter and she can like, you know, follow when she's older. Something that my mum always told me when I was younger was just be strong even when things get really tough and I've definitely taken that on over the years because no matter what's happened to me in my past, you know, it's defined me as the person I am today and it does make you stronger so definitely want to pass that one on to winter. One thing I learned about myself since becoming a mum is how loving I am. Growing up I was kind of cold and I didn't show affection to anyone like me.  I'm definitely more affectionate since being a mum. Don't give up when things get tough and always remain humble because a lot of people they come into this industry and they just don't remain humble and, you know, they fall very fast. The hardest lesson I've had to learn is how to manage my anger so just always remain positive and, you know, just be kind to people. Not taking any notice of it because she will always know that she's a beautiful person inside and out and that's all that's ever going to matter. I would tell Winter to not worry about her regrets in her past or her mistakes because we're human, we all make mistakes and it's nothing you should just dwell on, just learn from it. The advice I would give to Winter about social media is try and influence people and, you know, spread positivity and just show people how amazing she is. I don't really think about Winter, you know, in the future having a boyfriend and stuff, trying to block that one out but one thing I will say to her is just to never rely on a man for money and, yeah, just do you. I would tell Winter 100% not to have surgery because, you know, I've gone down that route because I feel like a massive part of it is because I've been trolled by the way I look. So I always tell her she's beautiful every single day so I know she's going to grow up absolutely loving herself. I say to her now, you're stunning in here and she's like, yeah, I'm stunning so she knows that so just to never get surgery because of what somebody else says and just love yourself. I know it's a bit rich coming from me but I'll always tell her that. When Winter grows up I'm definitely going to show her the Valleys and Big Brother because that's got me to where I am now, do you know what I mean? I'm not ashamed of it. I was 19 on the Valleys and, yeah, and I could definitely, you know, show her it and say, never be like that. Family are very important in life and I've learnt that since Havana, which is weird. Like your family are everything and they're there for you at the most toughest times in life so just always cherish them and, you know, be respectful and just make sure you make time for them. Write down her goals and just stick to them and just do everything that she can to get to where she wants to be because if she's anything like me then she won't give up.
