Hello viewers, I welcome you back on this geometric design of railway track. In this class, we will discuss about the speeds on railway track. I am Ashok Kumar, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Walsh and the Insur Technology, Stolapur. The learning outcome of the today's session, the students will be able to calculate the speeds with respect to the given cant or computed cant or the super elevation. So in the previous session, we have seen what are the different types of the speeds we have. One is the weighted average speed or the equilibrium speed and second one is the maximum sanction speed then the maximum permissible speed which we are allowing on the particular track. So continuation of that we will try to see how this safe speed is calculated for a given conditions. This is how we have calculated the safe speed using the railway board formula. So here considering the actual cant and cant efficiency, we have calculated what is the permissible speed or maximum permissible speed on the particular curve. This is for the transition curves we have discussed. Now for the on meter gauge we have V equal to 0.347 square root of CA plus CD into R and for the narrow gauge it is V equal to 3.65 square root of R minus 6 and this subjected to maximum of 50 kmph. And for the non-transition curves we have discussed this also in the previous session how we are going to calculate the length of the your maximum permissible speed on the basis of the your transition curves. So this applies when we have the restrictions of transition curve we provided in the site due to the site constraint or the land availability. We are restricting the length of transition curve. We always prefer to provide more length of transition curve due to the easement of the curve due to site constraint if there is any restrictions in the site we are unable to provide non-transition curves then we have to calculate the safe speed the procedure given in this slide. Now also we have seen we are calculating the four different this speed limits basis on the sanction speed, basis on the availability of actual cant and cant efficiency. The first way we are taking the what is the sanction speed given for that particular track. This is the first speed we are taking this is given by the track engineer or chief engineer of that particular track. And second one considering the actual cant the what is the equilibrium super elevation provided we are going to calculate that and again the cant efficiency CD is added to the equilibrium super elevation and adding CA and CD we are calculating what is the maximum speed allowed on the particular track and cant efficiency. And third one we have to consider the vehicles which are moving with lesser speed than the your equilibrium speed. So here again we are taking the cant excess into the consideration for the good strength they are traveling with the lesser speed say for 65 kmph for the bg and 50 kmph for the meter gauge. So first we have to calculate what is the equilibrium cant for the given good speed then we are going to see that what is the cant excess is added to this the CA and for adding this cant excess and the actual cant we are calculating the what is the maximum speed we are provided we can provided considering the goods vehicles also into the consideration or the vehicles which are moving lower speeds also consider while defining the what is the permissible speed. So now the last one the speed corresponding to the length of transition curves. So calculate the speed considering these four factors and take the least of that value will be your safe permissible speed. Now to understand this we will take one example and try to see how to calculate the safe speed for the given conditions. Now before we go for the numerical you can pause over here and think for the moment maximum permissible speed or safe speed is more than the sanction speed. So think for a moment and give me the answer whether it is a true or false I hope you are able to give me the answer. The correct answer is it is a false because maximum permissible speed is lesser than the sanction speed. We know that the first speed is defined as average speed or equilibrium speed and beyond that we have permissible speed maximum permissible speed and after the maximum permissible speed that is the last speed which is allowed for the track is sanctioned speed. Now the values given over here it is a 2 degree BG transition curve we do not have any restrictions with the transition curve. We can see that the transition curve is provided and sanctioned speed is given as 10 kmph and you are asking you to calculate the equilibrium super elevation the speed for calculating the equilibrium super elevation is also given as 80 kmph and for the good strain the speed is also given as 50 kmph. So considering this you can calculate what is the safe speed we are going to travel on this 2 degree BG curve BG track. Now first as for the steps we have to calculate the what is the equilibrium super elevation for the given equilibrium speed here. Before we go that you can take that the and the radius of the curve we can calculate taking 30.5 meter chord length that is the equation is R equal to 1750 by D where D is the degree of the curve and we have got the radius is 875 meter and now taking the G distance so the broad gauge distance the G value is given over here is 1.750 that is the distance given is centre to centre distance of 52 kg sleeper the distance given as 1750. So taking this 1750 and your speed value and R value we can able to calculate what is the equilibrium super elevation. So that is 100.8 mm is the your equilibrium super elevation or actual cant is provided. Now we have to calculate the what is the theoretical super elevation for the your the sanction speed. So sanction speed is 110 kmph so now you can calculate what is the the theoretical super elevation for this sanction speed. So taking the only changing the your V value we are able to get what is the theoretical cant for the sanction speed that comes to 190.6 mm. Now for the cant efficiency you calculate the cant efficiency we know that the ethereautical so ethereautical equals to cant efficiency e actual plus cant efficiency. So now what is cant efficiency in the sense we can see that ethereautical minus your actual cant. So this is how we are calculating so ethereautical equals to your actual cant plus your cant efficiency. Now I need the what is the cant efficiency over here I need a CD so CD can be calculated it is ethereautical minus actual cant. So now the whether it is exceeding our allowable limits of cant efficiency no it is 89.8 mm it is a lesser than 100 mm so maximum we can go up to cant efficiency of 100 mm so hence it is permissible. Now you can see here the super elevation for now we have to go for the third step that is calculating the ethereautical super elevation for your good strains again here. So for the good strain the speed is given as 50 kmph now taking the 50 kmph we are able to calculate what is the super elevation required for the good strain so that is 39.4 mm and again we have to calculate the cant excess here again the cant excess is equal to the actual cant that is your CA minus the whatever the your super elevation provided for the 50 kmph that is 39.4 so again you have to take the difference of that that comes 61.4 and we know that cant excess maximally allowed is 75 mm for the BG track so again it is lesser than 75 mm hence it is permissible. Now you can the fourth the third step we are going to calculate basis on the cant efficiency and your actual cant so we are using this railway board formula to calculate the what is the say permissible speed. So put the CA value here the actual cant is provided as 100.8 and CD as 89.8 and R is 875 so put the all the values in this equation and we are able to get the what is the maximum speed basis on the your actual cant and cant efficiency now we have to compare the all the speeds we have calculated first we have calculated basis on the given speed as 110 kmph sanctioned speed as in this case is 110 kmph and the curve as per the theoretical concentration we have calculated 110.8 that is your basis on the actual cant and cant efficiency we have calculated 110 kmph now so we have to take this least of these two here so in this case the 110 kmph is lesser than 110.1 hence we can conclude that the allow the maximum permissible speed over this curve is 110 kmph and provide the super elevation of 100.8 or let us say it is 100 mm super elevation can be provided on this particular track. So alternatively we can also calculate the solve this numerical like this you can calculate what is the your the cant for actual cant for the 110 so for the 110 it comes to 190.6 and for the C50 what is the cant it is going to come that is for the 50 kmph what is the cant it is going to come now on adding the cant the both the CA plus CE that comes to 114.4 mm now for the calculate the for equilibrium speed what is the cant required for the equilibrium speed that is C80 for that it comes to 100.8 now we have to see the lowest of these all these three in this case the lowest of three values calculated above steps is 100.8 mm therefore we can see that conclude that 100 mm we have to provide as the actual cant so comparing the C110 and C80 we can conclude that it is least values 100 mm in this case so we have to compare 114.4 190.6 and 100.8 so in this case 100.8 is lesser than all these three values so actual cant we can conclude the 100 mm and we we can calculate basis on the CA and CD so again putting all the values we are getting the value of 110 kmph as the the the speed considering the CA and CD now we can conclude the maximum speed on this curve is 110 because sanction speed itself is 110 and calculated is coming more than that we have to take least of that so that comes to 110 and we have to provide 100 mm as a super elevation actual cant in this case so these are the references I have used for preparing this presentation thank you


Welcome to Film My Run. This is the Liberation Monument in St. Peter's Port. I'm here for the second time to run the Guernsey Ultra, the GU36. And the reason I'm here is it's my wife's very first ultra distance. Well, she's done 27 miles, but that doesn't count, does it? So 36 miles around the coast of Guernsey. Let's see how it goes. Again, absolutely beautiful day today, and we've got far more runners than we're here last time I was here. So let's enjoy it. Aid station halfway along the cliff section at eight miles. Hi guys. 16 miles, we have a thousand meters of elevation behind us, and we've now got 20 miles of relatively flat running to go before that we have code. Your leg's hurting. Yeah. Have you got any chafing anywhere? But generally, okay. Any stomach problems? Well, you've just been eating a nice lolly. Well, yeah, that's fine, but I can't face solid foods anymore. You can't face solid foods? No, I was fine on the first 16 miles eating. Now I just want lipids. What I genuinely wish it was actually a bit hotter. Years ago, I went swimming in that bay there. Tides are a bit far out, and I want to help Victoria get to a good time, so we're not going to go swimming today. We are rounding the final headland with about nine and a half kilometers to go, and we are killing it now. Victoria is tired, but still going, still running. There are the islands of Herm and Sark, and then beyond them is Jersey. Seven hours, 21 minutes, 52 kilometers. We have just under 6K to go. There's the castle over there. The Liberation Monument is somewhere in the middle, and this cross we might just sneak in under 8 hours. Half minutes to do 1.3 kilometers. She's absolutely shattered.  Come on, Dick. Fantastic. Guernsey Ultra completed. Victoria finishes in eight at seven hours. Victoria finishes in seven hours, 57 minutes. Absolutely amazing seeing as her goal time was nine hours. That's the Liberation Monument. If you ever want to come to Guernsey and do the Guernsey Ultra, that's what you have to touch at the end of the race. 36 miles all the way around the island. Come and do it next year. You will absolutely love it. Although it's actually raining. It's raining in Guernsey. Who knew? Who knew? So? Yeah, and you can't believe that I dragged you to a sub eight hour finish, can you? Pleased with yourself? Do you want to show your little pat? Victoria got a little bad trip being her first Ultra. Good, do you like another one? It was a nice surprise.


Quality assurance and quality control are critical while working in the molecular biology laboratory. And before proceeding to the downstream applications like PCR amplification, molecular cloning, sequencing and other techniques, we need to measure the concentration of extracted DNA. So in this practical, we will demonstrate that how to measure the concentration of DNA in a sample using nano-drop UV visible spectrophotometer. Basically, nano-drop works on the principle of spectrophotometer which is that absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration and path length. So to quantify the DNA in sample, we need pipettes, pipetips, DNA sample, blank sample which is nucleus-free water. The purpose of nucleus-free water is to blank the instrument. And why we are using the nucleus-free water? Because we have stored the DNA in nucleus-free water. So we will blank the instrument with this nucleus-free water. In the end, we have nano-drop UV visible spectrophotometer. When we will on the instrument, it will take some time to initialize the software. When the program will set up, it will show you different samples which can be analyzed like double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA and RNA and even protein sample. So basically, this nano-drop has the LED screen pre-installed in it. And this is the paddle of the nano-drop in which we will pour the sample into the lid. It should be remembered that while performing the experiment, you should clean the tip before pouring the sample. After pouring the sample, you will just close the paddle and run the measurement. Then it will give you the value of concentration of DNA. The system which is installed in this nano-drop is Eclado software which is must sensitive that it can give the concentration of the DNA at the nano-drop level. It also tells us the amount of impurities that are present in our DNA sample. While performing the experiment, first of all, we have to turn on the nano-drop instrument. When the program setup will be initialized, we have to then select the type of nucleic acid molecule for which we are going to measure the concentration. As our sample is double-stranded DNA, so we will select the double-stranded DNA option on the nano-drop. When we will click on the double-stranded DNA, it will show us to load the blank sample. So what we will do, we will open the paddle of nano-drop and clean the both tips carefully. After cleaning the tips, we will load the blank sample which is 1 microlitre nuclease free water. To use it to blank the 1 microlitre of blank sample onto the tip, we will close the paddle of the nano-drop. It will show us to load the sample. We will then load 1 microlitre of DNA sample and then measure the concentration of the DNA. You can see the result. There are 3 ratios. One is nanogram per microlitre which is the concentration of the DNA. Another is the A260 by 280 which gives the purity of the DNA and again A260 by 230 which also tells us about the contamination present in the sample. So in this sample we can see that the concentration of DNA is just 37.4 nanogram per microlitre and the purity of the DNA is about 1.53. Normally the purity of the DNA sample is at 1.8 ratio. This graph also tells us the purity of the DNA. It should be remembered that nucleic acids give maximum absorbance at 260 nanometer. So there will be a peak on near 260 nanometer which will show the presence and then tell us the concentration of DNA. Likewise we can also run the second sample to check the DNA concentration. Again we will clean the tips and add 1 microlitre of DNA sample. Pouring the sample we will close the paddle and click on the measurement. The nano drop instrument will measure the concentration of DNA. And here you can see that in sample 2 the concentration of DNA is 31 nanogram per microlitre and the purity of the DNA is again 1.49 which is A260 by 280 ratio. And these are the other ratios which shows the presence of contamination in the sample. Normally there can be three types of contaminants in the DNA. Phenol, guanidine and protein. If the value of A260 by 280 ratio is 1.8 then it shows that the sample contain the pure DNA. But you can see that here in these results there is contamination of phenol or proteins which just shows that how we can measure or access the contamination through the nano drop spectrophotometer. So that's how we run multiple samples to measure the quality of DNA. Now I will discuss the second case that if there is no DNA present in the sample then what values will be realized on the nano drop instrument. We will again clean the tips with fresh white. Load 1 microlitre of DNA sample. Pouring the sample onto the tip we will carefully close the paddle. In this case you can see the values on the nano drop instrument. We can clearly see the difference between the peaks of these three samples. Like in first sample you can see there is a sharp peak at 260 nanometer. Likewise in the second sample there is again the sharp peak nearly at 260 nanometer. While in the third sample there is no peak present which clearly confirms that in third sample DNA is not present. So we will not proceed with the third sample for our downstream application. So that's how we assure the quality of DNA through nano drop UV visible spectrophotometer. If the DNA concentration is satisfactory then we can proceed for our downstream application like PCR amplification and sequencing. One particular precaution about the nano drop spectrophotometer is that we have to be very careful in cleaning the tips of that instrument because it is much sensitive to detect the concentration of DNA in each sample.


Hi, I'm Purvi Mehta and I joined ILRI in January 2009. I have a crop, come from a crop background. I actually was trained as a crop agriculture biotechnologist and then went into the whole area of capacity development. So before joining ILRI, I was the director of an NGO in India which worked with a very large number of ministries and had members who were 68,000 farmers in several states of India. Basically it worked on technology transfer and capacity development. So I came from that kind of background and worked with IFPRI for three years, again doing similar things, building capacities and trying to take biotech crops closer to the farmer kind of work. And then came to ILRI to work with the capacity development unit about three years ago. But one of the historical things that has happened and one of the historical contributions of this institute has been its investment in capacity development. I mean in the last three years I've come across ministers in Africa, university deans, university teachers, researchers, people at the National Agriculture Research Systems all over Africa who have said that they have a soft corner.  So this is a huge investment. So when we say investment in capacity development I think we often don't realize the kind of impact we have created by running this kind of a program, by creating that kind of pool of expertise in the region. I feel that investment in capacity development is not only investment into future generation but also our investment into sustainability because frankly speaking, projects come and go but the kind of capacities it builds in the regions whether it is Africa or Asia or any regions those capacities stay on the ground. Those capacities have a long impact and they don't get limited to those people but then they spread across. So I see them as ambassadors of ILRI but also ambassadors of the livestock agenda per se. Many CG centers and I've been associated with several many CG centers, we talk about capacity development we talk about impact, we talk about having that sustained effect on the ground but I think one of the best pathways towards these things is to rather than sort of importing capacities from outside to build our own capacities and that's only by building capacities of the regional people so that they can take the message forward rather than people like me coming from other regions and trying to do work. When we say capacity development at ILRI or when we say the cast of the capacity strengthening unit we're talking about two things. One is the whole area of graduate fellowship program if we look at our two major campuses Addis Ababa and Nairobi we have on an average 43 students every year joining us for their PhD and MSc program some stay with us for three to four years while they're doing their PhD some could be very short term, eight months, one year kind of students but these students basically are our links with the various universities so if we look at the links that we have with the universities we are at the moment in sort of collaboration or relationships with 39 universities across the world and these students come and work with us for a long period of time interestingly a lot of these students then decide to stay with us for a longer time for example Steve Stoll came as a graduate fellow and decided to stay with us Delia Grace stayed with us Rob Skelton and there are many such students so it is not only our investment into the region but I think it is our investment into our own human resource as well and getting good scientists and leaders for the future something that I'm really very proud of is the gender balance in these students at the moment in Nairobi it is exactly 50-50 we have 50% men and 50% women graduate fellows working with us in Nairobi so that's pretty cool we are one of the largest graduate fellowship programs in the CGIR this is only when I'm counting Addis Ababa in Nairobi we have a large number of students who are also based in Asia and these numbers are definitely growing the second part of the capacity strengthening is this whole area of how do we take the research outputs to developmental outcomes over 80% of our donors or people who invest money into institutions like Illry are developmental donors people who want to see developmental impact people who are interested not only for example in developing a vaccine but interested that that vaccine reaches out to the farmer or creates that developmental impact and that's another area where capacity strengthening comes into picture how do we take the research outputs how do we extend it to the larger community it could be communities of farmer it could be community of the national agriculture research system universities and all these boundary partners who work between who are present between us and the end user which could be the farmer and how do we build capacities of them we are associated with a very large number of ongoing programs at Illry not only in Africa but quite a few in Southeast Asia South Asia where we are trying to take the messages that comes out of the research and then sort of translate them into the messages at the grass root level this includes conducting training of trainers programs building training manuals doing some face-to-face training but then I think we need to go beyond that and get into the new areas like distance learning program putting Illry's messages through the various ICT programs something I'd love to see maybe in next five years at Illry is when these large number of mobile phone networks for example that are now reaching out you know it's a well-oiled machine now where health messages and seeds and the messages on seeds or the messages on agriculture especially crop marketing is reaching out to the farmers in many many countries in five years time I would love to see if when Illry's messages are translated through those those systems and those channels and we reach out to the people in five years time I'd love to see more Illry material turned into local vernacular languages so that not only the research community understands what we do but also the farmers and people at the grass root level see it and interestingly you know my experience says that even policy makers learn much more by reading out the material that's meant for farmers than the material that's meant for researchers for example so translating Illry's messages to various policy decisions translating Illry's message to various developmental impact is something that I'd like to see in next five years


John Wund as Johnny Duller. Bill Wesley, Johnny. What do you know about oil wells? Well, I know I wouldn't mind owning one. Why? We've written a floater policy on drilling rigs for the Van Oosterhout Oil Company in Samatra. $60,000 worth of equipment was destroyed last week and route to their new test field. Is there something wrong with this? We're willing to pay off. Oh, so why call me? Well, that's a twist, Johnny. Van Oosterhout doesn't want the money. What does he want? Our best investigator for three weeks. Why? He didn't say. Do you know these oil men probably just rich enough to want to satisfy some idle curiosity? Yeah, well, I'm just broken up to help them do it. We'll return to our program in a moment. But first, I'd like to talk to you about housekeeping. Recently, a woman was interviewing a prospective maid and asked her how she was on white housekeeping. Well, I'm sorry, ma'am, said the young lady. I'd never kept a lighthouse. I admit that's an old joke. But it generally gets a laugh. However, housekeeping is no joke. That's a job from which no one can escape, whether he lives in a house, an igloo, a military barracks, or a governmental building. Yes, housekeeping is a very important job, even in our government. Someone has to see that the plumbing doesn't leak, that electricity, oil, and coal aren't wasted, that the garden is kept in good shape, that the animals are fed, and that the people are the place outdoors in which to enjoy themselves. Actually, all these governmental household tasks are the work of the Department of the Interior, which at one time was called the Home Department. The biggest job of the Department is conservation, the protection of the things that make our country a good place in which to live. The land, water, oil, coal, forests, minerals, fish, and wildlife. These are our natural resources. If it weren't for the conservation work of the Interior Department, before too long, all the farm and grazing lands would be washed or blown away, and all the wildlife would disappear from our fields and forests. Another important job of the Department is the development of new natural resources and the caring for our national parks, where people are free to go sightseeing or set up camp. And during wartime, the Secretary of the Interior has a special job, namely making sure that sufficient oil and other fuels are available to our armed forces and defense industries. Yes, our governmental housekeeper, the Department of the Interior, has a most important and vital job in maintaining the competent welfare of every citizen of the United States. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Home Office Eastern Indemnity and Insurance Company of Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Carboniferous Dalamite matter. Expense account item one. $1,013.40. Airfare and incidentals between Hartford and Medan, Sumatra. Expense account item two, $1.50, cab fare to the offices of the Van Oost or Heart Oil Company. The roughly timbered shack with corrugated tin roof didn't spell rich oil man to me. Nor did Peter Van Oost or Heart himself. No doubt you are wondering why I propose such a strange agreement with your company, Minier Dollar. My question had occurred to me, yes. So, I will explain then. It's not because I am a rich man, but because I am a gambler. You're gambling $60,000 against what? An oil well, Minier Dollar. And I need your help to keep the game honest. And what kind of a game do you want to deal me in? My rigging equipment was being transported by truck to my test well north of Achin. It was buried beyond recovery by a landslide, one which I believe was caused by a deliberate nitroglycerin explosion. The game sounds rough. It is not the first thing that has happened. Drill heads have been dropped into the bore. Drilling shafts, sword and then welded so they would snap from the pressure. The list is endless.  It is not the slightest doubt in my mind. Any idea why? No, no Minier Dollar. I have not. What about the local authorities? Have you talked to them? I have. They have sent a man to the well to investigate. Well, then why sent for me? Because I suspect the government man is also working against it. I see. You said you wanted to be here for three weeks. Why the time limitation? My drilling permit from the government expires then. They do not renew. So, you're willing to bet $60,000 on my ability to keep your well going for three weeks, hoping you'll strike oil in that time? I am. Did you work with me, Minier Dollar? Why not? It's your gamble. We made arrangements to fly out to the oil well early the next morning, and Van Oosterhout dropped me off at the Buitensorg Hotel where I checked in. I put a call through to the government offices, but the man in charge of the Van Oosterhout matter, and Inspector Pajak, wasn't in. I left words that I'd called and hide myself to the hotel restaurant. I was having a little trouble with the native menu when I received some unexpected assistance. You won't forgive me, Mr. Dollar. Might I suggest you try the sambal going? I'd be happy to. What is it? The non-ingredients are right, fish and peppers. The unknown are the chef's secrets, and the sum total of them all is sheer gastronomical ecstasy. Well, the only thing that could tough that recommendation is for you to join me. I would be delighted, not to die, Mr. Dollar, merely to talk. By the way, I am Friedrich Van Oosterhout. Peter's wife? His daughter. Well, I would have guessed that, except for the third finger left hand. No, of course, my wedding band. Yes, I am Mrs. Don Reynolds now, but I wish to talk with you at Friedrich Van Oosterhout. Oh, why is that? Because I want you to persuade my father to change his mind and accept insurance money. You don't approve of his gamble? There is no gamble, Mr. Dollar. You're bound to lose everything. There's no oil there. What makes you so sure? My husband is an oil engineer. He's gone over my father's leases in every possible way. Geological survey, magnetometer, seismographic exploration. In every instance, the results have been negative. And what is your father's basis opinion on? Wishes, hunches, gambles, Mr. Dollar. He's like a madman about these things. All reason, all logic has been passed to the wind. Then why is somebody trying to sabotage the world? There are always accidents attended on any orderly project, Mr. Dollar. My father's has been brought about perhaps by the old equipment he's using. But they are accidents, nevertheless. There's not one shred of proof of anything else. You make out a pretty strong case for yourself. Then you will do as I ask. Try to persuade him. No, I'm afraid not. Your father's got a stronger case. Yes, of course. The $60,000 your company will save if he relinquishes his claim. Well, can you think of a better one? To me, a man's life is worth more than $60,000. Now you've lost me. My father has a weak heart. If I am right and the well-proofed dry, I'm afraid the shock will kill him. And what if he's right? Accidents can happen to more than machinery. A life could still be lost. Like mine, maybe? That was your thought, Mr. Dollar. Not a very happy one, was it? Just for the record, I did take Fred Rieker's advice on one thing, the sambal garang. And she was right about that, at least. It was delicious. With the arrangements to leave for the oil field at dawn, well in mind, I hit the sack early, hoping to get a good night's sleep. But somebody had different ideas. Mr. Dollar, are you in there, Mr. Dollar? Huh? Who's that? Inspector Parchart, Mr. Dollar. Open up, please. Okay, okay. Just a minute. Now, what's all this about, Inspector? I'm sorry to disturb your rest this way, Mr. Dollar. It was necessary, however, that I ask you a few questions. At two in the morning, you'll possess a firearm, Mr. Dollar. Oh, you should know. I registered when I came into the country. May I see it, please? Yeah, sure. Here it is. Thank you. Satisfied? That the magazine is full, that the gun is clean. I am satisfied with that. Yes. Well, that's something.  You pay to visit to the offices of Peter van Oosterhout earlier this evening, Mr. Dollar. That's right. You also call my office to inquire about the van Oosterhout oil company in the test well that is being drilled north of Archie. Yeah. What was the caliber of the gun that killed van Oosterhout, Inspector? We believe it to be a 38 caliber, Mr. Dollar. The same as yours. But how did you know he was dead? Well, out of respect to those present, let's call it intuition. Shall we? Inspector Pajak maintained a discreet, if not very informative, silence during our ride out to the van Oosterhout oil company, Shuck. We all bought our way through a babble in the crowd of curious onlookers held back by Indonesian police and moved inside. You see, Mr. Dollar? Yeah. Any idea of when it happened? I thought perhaps you could give us that information. How did I become number one on your suspect list? It was Mrs. Reynolds' idea. Rodriguez? Yes. When informed of her father's death, she said that you were responsible, that you were the one who accused him. Well, it's just possible, Inspector, I didn't mean that literally. But only because van Oosterhout wanted me down here to check into possible sabotage. I'm willing to accept your reasoning for the time being. That's mighty nice of you. Mr. Dollar, I would like to know if there is anything disturbed in the office. Anything different from the way you saw it last? Well, only those metal canisters on the floor over there. We know about those. They contain test boardings taken from the van Oosterhout well. They were taken this evening by Mr. Don Reynolds. Van Oosterhout's son-in-law? Yes. He brought them here to the office. That is how he discovered the body. It must have been pretty important for him to fly a man at this hour of the night. According to Mr. Reynolds, they indicate that the well is almost certain to prove Jai. But where is Van Oosterhout? He is really his wife, of course. He had broken down completely at the news of her father's death. Uh-huh. So, that will be all then for now, Mr. Dollar. You've had your long journey to the waterfall, nothing, eh? What makes you think so? Those test boardings prove that Van Oosterhout was possessed of a delusion. With his death, any reason for pursuing it is obviously over. Well, there's something else that's not quite as obvious, Inspector. And what is that, Mr. Dollar? Why, he was murdered. One of Inspector Pajak's men drove me back to the Buitensorg Hotel, where the night clerk put an end to the hopes I had for more sleep that night. He had a message for me to call Don Reynolds the minute I got in. I put in the call. Hello? This is Johnny Dollar. Oh, yes, Dollar. Glad you called. You going to be at your hotel for a little while? Well, that depends. On what? On what you want to come over here to talk to me about. Suppose it's a tell you who killed Van Oosterhout. Why? I'll be here.  He took Don Reynolds exactly seven minutes by the clock to get up to my hotel room after his phone call. He wasted his little time getting directly to the point. I'm pretty sure I know who killed Van Oosterhout, Dollar. And why? But it's going to take a lot of doing to prove it. Why come to me instead of Inspector Pajak? Well, I'm not interested in having an official whitewash of murder. That doesn't sound as though you have a very high opinion of our friendly Inspector. Let's just say I don't want to take any chances on possible official collusion. Uh-huh. Well, what have you got? Ever hear of Sunga Tabaran? No. Should I have? He's a wildcatter like Van Oosterhout was. Two years ago, they tangled over some oil leases. When the courts decided in Van Oosterhout's favor, Tabaran swore he'd been cheated. That he'd get eaten. Well, if he meant it, he waited a long time to make good. He went to Java on business about then, came back here just about the time Van Oosterhout began to suspect someone was trying to sabotage as well. That's pretty circumstantial, Mr. Reynolds. There's nothing circumstantial about the fact that Tabaran's the oil expert in Inspector Pajak sent out to the well to check on Van Oosterhout's story. Oh, so that's the reason for your official collusion crack. Yes, it is. And there's nothing circumstantial about the fistfight that two of them had a couple of days ago when Van Oosterhout openly accused Tabaran and told him you were coming out to check up on things. Oh, that sounds interesting. I can top it for you, darling. With what? Tabaran's here in Medan. He flew in from the well late yesterday afternoon. I'd say he arrived approximately two hours before Van Oosterhout was killed. What do you think now? Might pay to have a little talk with him. At this point in our program, I'd like to give you something to think about. Probably one of the most quoted Americans in our nation's history is Benjamin Franklin. It was Franklin who said, early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. And never leave that till tomorrow, which you can do today. And, of course, the Lord helps them that help themselves. But probably one of his most familiar quotations is, there are only two things in life of which we may be certain, death and taxes. Of course, what bothers most of our taxpayers is that death and taxes don't come in that order. But seriously, one of the biggest jobs handled by the Secretary of the Treasury is the collection of taxes, our government's main source of income. The government raises money through the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which collects income taxes, excise taxes, amusement taxes, and other federal taxes. The Bureau also checks to see that you haven't paid too little, and, believe it or not, that you haven't paid too much. Another way the government raises money is through the Bureau of Customs, which levies taxes on imports which are sent here from foreign countries. But although the Treasury Department collects the money, it is Congress, the men we send to Washington, who actually says who will pay taxes and how much. And that's one thing from which none of us can escape. Spencer County, I'm $3.65. Cab fare to the residents of Sunga, Tabaran. It was a small modern bungalow nestled in some gently rolling hills at the edge of town. The folk dawn was just starting to light up the eastern sky when I got there. Are you Sunga, Tabaran? That is correct. My name is Daller. I'm an insurance investigator. I'd like to talk with you. I'd like to talk with you about the hour at which one makes either social or business calls, Mr. Daller. Well, murder isn't very particular about the hours at Keith's. If you would please come in. Thanks. I noticed you're up and dressed, Mr. Tabaran, in spite of the early hour. You said you had come here to speak about murder, Mr. Daller. I understand that you and Van Oosterhout had some pretty violent disagreements in the past. Unfortunately, that happens to be true. Does Inspector Project know about that? I have no secrets from my superior. Does he also know that you flew into Medan yesterday afternoon? My dear Mr. Daller, you realize as well as I that these questions are quite pointless. Even if I did possess any guilty knowledge concerning Van Oosterhout's death, you could not hope to learn it this way. Well, maybe I'm just not right. I'm afraid I cannot accept that. Thank you. I came here to talk with me. To look around, to try to judge, to measure. Hoping perhaps I would make some slip unconsciously reveal some information which might be useful to you. Yeah, that sounds like a reasonable supposition. It is regrettable then that I must disappoint you. There will be no slips, no unconscious revelations. I'm sorry. Oh, that's okay, Mr. Tabaran. You haven't heard my feelings. Oh, by the way, extend my condolences to Frederica, would you? And tell her I'm glad she's getting over her bereavement so well. I'm afraid I do not know what you are referring, Mr. Daller. I said nothing about Mrs. Reynolds. You didn't have to. You just forgot to remove her handbag from that table. The question of what Frederica was doing in Sunger Tabaran's bungalow at that hour of the morning was an interesting one. But there were a few others bothering me even more. Expensive on item four, seventy-five cents. Precarious transportation aboard a bicycle rickshaw to the deserted offices of Venus to Houtoil Company. Expensive on item five, one dollar, similar transportation back to my hotel where a visitor was waiting for me in the otherwise empty lobby. One moment, please, Mr. Daller. Oh, hi, Inspector. Something on your mind? I wish you to stop interfering in affairs that are no concern of yours but only of the police. Well, it didn't take Tabaran long to call you after I left. Sunger Tabaran is one of my most trusted men. Looks like Frederica Reynolds feels the same way about him. Mr. Daller, you are in a strange country. One whose habits, customs, ways of life are entirely foreign to you. It would be most easy to fall into error concerning the guilt or innocence of some of its inhabitants. Well, I'd agree with you except for one thing, Inspector. So, they're still people. A tempered shower and a similar breakfast occupied my time until the town of Medan awoke to the new day. Then I walked down the street to the shop I'd noticed the night before belonging to one hair-de-grute, oil geologist. It took the grute all of thirty seconds to look at the specimens I'd pilfered from Venus to Houtoil's office the night before, rubbed them between his fingers, and come up with a pronouncement. Yeah, yeah, there's no question. These test borings, they are from the Venus to Houtoil's number one well. And you've seen specimens like these before? But, of course, I have, young man, many times. They are composed in increasing density of a carbonate of calcium and magnesium formed during the carboniferous era of the Earth. In other words, what we have here are specimens of carboniferous dolomite. Cobb, I'll take your word for that. Just tell me what it has to do with oil. But it has everything to do with it, young man. Under just such a rock strata, these lie some of the greatest oil fields in the world. So the chances of the Venus to Houtoil hitting such a pool should be pretty good, huh? I would say it would be virtually impossible for it not to hit oil from 100 to 500 feet in depth below the strata. Any idea why Venus to Houtoil wasn't informed of this? Not informed, but it must have been. Why is that? These tests forings have been brought in regularly by Venus to Houtoil's son-in-law, Manuel Ernst. Why should he not have told him? The group added another good question to my list. So I called Reynolds to find out, but there wasn't any answer. I got the same result with a call to Shinga Tabaran. Well, I had better luck with the dispatcher's office at the airport. That seems quite right, Mr. Dala. Mr. Tabaran filed a flight plan for the Fun Ooster Houtoil and took off approximately an hour ago. What about passengers? Oh, one passenger is listed. Hey, Mrs. Frederica Reynolds. No, Mr. Reynolds? Well, he took off for the world property also, Mr. Dala, in a company plane. He was given runway clearance not five minutes ago. Now, one more thing.  Which of Mr. Reynolds' flights do you mean, Mr. Dala? There was more than one? Oh, yes, two. This is the first time your wife here is surely at the dock. I can look up the exact time for you if you wish. No, that won't be necessary. Granting your information is correct, Mr. Dala. What is it you wish me to do about it? Oh, look, Inspector, it's about time you stop being coy. You must have some or all of this information. And if I have? Then you know it adds up to one murder and maybe two more. I do not understand, Mr. Dala. I knew from those secret test-boring that Van Oosterhardt was going to hit oil. That would seem most logical, yes. So if he could stop the well for three more weeks, the drilling permit would run out. Van Oosterhardt would be through and Reynolds could file for one of his own and bring in the well himself. Then you are accusing Mr. Reynolds of deliberately withholding information from his father-in-law of sabotaging his drilling operation. And of killing Van Oosterhardt. But why should he have done that? Somehow the old man must have learned the truth from those test-boring we found in the office. If what you say is true, Mr. Dala, we shall secure the proof we need in good time. Why did Tabaran and Frederica leave for the well? The death of her father brought some suspicions to Mrs. Reynolds' mind. She went to discuss them with Tabaran. Perhaps there is some proof out there at the well and they intend to bring it back. Reynolds took off for the well ten minutes ago, Inspector. What happens if there's another accident and Frederica and Tabaran never get back? A plane will be ready at the airport by the time we get there, Mr. Dala. The Van Oosterhardt well was approximately 100 miles northwest of Medan. When we sat down, both the company plane and Tabaran's were on the landing strip. The drilling rig was motionless, surrounded by high mounds of pumped-out mud. The entire area looked deserted. It is impossible they could not have heard us arrive. Where is the rigging? Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds and Tabaran. Well, there are not many places there could be. Punk house, construction shack, powder house. Perhaps we had better try the office first. You know, it is quite possible that... Hey, there's Reynolds coming out of the powder house. We've got a nitro tube in his hand. Nitro? But what would he be doing with nitroglycerin? Maybe we'd better find out. Reynolds? Thank you, project. Just in time to see the fireworks. Are you going to shoot the well? Yeah, that's right. Drill struck a layer of igneous granite, broke off in the shaft. I'll drop this down and try to blast it loose. Where's the rigging crew? Back in the jungle. Had to get them out of the possible blast area. Never can tell about these things. What about Mrs. Reynolds and Tabaran? They went along with them. There are two of you better get back there, too. What sample of protectors? Well, maybe so, but sometimes these things crack an awful wall. This one's not going to Reynolds. What do you mean?  Are you crazy, darling? I'm going to blow that well. Mr. Dollar, why have you drawn your gun? You make a break for that well, Reynolds, and I'll shoot. Better do something about him, Inspector. He must have lost his mind. Put away that gun, darling. I'm telling you for the last time. Put the nitro down and come over here. Okay, darling. But I can't figure it. If you think I'm going... He's running towards the wave. Don't try it, Reynolds. Back of the mud, Inspector. Get back. What are you going to... Dollar, your shot, he exploded the nitro. I guess it did at that, Inspector. But, Reynolds, it was the same as committing murder. Now, let's say I prevented a couple, Inspector. Revented? If Reynolds had blown the well with that charge, he'd have destroyed the rigging. And that tool shack under it. And what if it had? Neither Mr. Reynolds, nor Tab around, is anywhere around. You better take a look at the door sill of that shack. The door sill of the... Mr. Dollar.  Expense account item 6, $23.15, hotel bill and miscellaneous. Expense account item 7, $1,032.60, airfare and incidentals back to Hartford. Account total $2,074.05. Remarks? The trip home didn't seem half as long as the walk we made to the tool shack to see if Frederica and Tab around were still alive. As it turned out, they were. If they hadn't been. Well, I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a gambling man. Here's truly, Johnny Dollar. This comes to you through the worldwide facilities of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

I was born in the 19th century and I was able to do the walking. I learned that the path is the path of happiness. Because the paths we take together, so many infinite varieties of stories. The fish that I fish every day, we find them only in the season. We have a lot of fish, so many fish. And we have to feed the world. It's time to take action. We all have a role to play. We need a food system that sustains lives, the planet and protects its workers.


Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Barb Mitchell coming to you today from Monaco where we're together at Data Cloud 2022. Joining me is Dean Nelson, founder of Infrastructure Masons. Great to have you, it's been a while. Yeah, it's been three years, well almost three years. We were back here in 2019. Three years ago, yeah, yeah. I know it's so great to see you in person. You know, it was great last night. We got to hear some great news from you and just a little background for those who may not know. I know, you know, Infrastructure Masons, iMasons has done so much great work around initiatives, supporting education, diversity and inclusion and of course, sustainability, which leads us to your new announcement and your new initiative. Can you tell us about it? Absolutely, so last night we announced the iMasons Climate Accord and so this is a coalition of companies coming together to reduce carbon and products, power and materials and data centers. So we had 71 companies. So we announced 70 last night, but right at 6 p.m. GI partners came in. So John Shaputis, thank you very much. But we have equity firms as well as 35 data center companies, almost every major player in the business is in it. We had AWS, Meta, Microsoft and Google, as well as 14 product companies, three software companies, it's amazing. And within less than six weeks, we went from an initial meeting to having the Climate Accord announced with 70 companies in. So inspiring, it was so exciting, I will say, to be there last night and see you present it live. Tell us a little bit more about the history of what brought this into being and so quickly, as you said. Well, actually we've been doing this for a while. So if you think of iMasons, we launched the Sustainability Initiative back in 2020. Right at the beginning of the pandemic, we brought the hyperscalers and a whole bunch of people together and we said every click improves the future because digital infrastructure should positively contribute back to the economy as well as society without harming the planet. So that was our, I guess, origin of what we were trying to do and then there's a lot of other work along the way. But we have an advisory council and that is a grouping of our foundation partners as well as industry luminaries that come together, senior people that really care about this stuff and we decided we're going to have our next AC meeting at someone's house. So I called Christian Bellotti over at Microsoft and I said, could we do something at your house in February and will this bring all the advisory council members together? And so we did all the protocols and everything but we had 40 people there, 40 senior leaders and it was dubbed Shea Bellotti because it was at Christian's house and in that we had one thing that we were actually focusing on, one. Can we actually come up with something that we as an industry can do together? Now that sounds very simple but when you think about 40 executives that run some of the biggest portfolios in the world with lots of initiatives and lots of things that they're doing already, how do you take those people and say, can we unify, unite on one cause that's going to accelerate the timeline of carbon reduction in our race towards net zero? I mean it's a big deal and what I loved about it is the people in that room really care and so we were all very motivated to figure out how we can compound the impact when it comes down to all the work that all these companies are doing and so in that meeting we were six hours at Christian's house, you know, meals, talking, whatever else but we dove into working sessions and at the end we had five different groups read out their findings and the synthesis of all that was we all agreed that we are aligned in carbon reduction across digital infrastructure. Okay, everybody totally agrees we've all made commitments to it and but we don't have a common carbon methodology like an accounting methodology. So all these key themes came out of it. We had one other follow-up meeting that was March 17th and then from that point until last night we had 70 companies joined and what's neat is the hyperscalers were leading the conversations and one of the biggest themes in there is they are, if you think about it, the market movers are the buyers. So if we can now decide how we can influence the way that we're actually managing this because there's two big buckets so I'm going into a lot more detail but there's two buckets here. One is embodied carbon and the other one is carbon intensity and the source energy. So embodied carbon, what is it, where is it? So we said materials, it's all the stuff that is in a data center concrete, steel, copper, anything else that does to build a facility. The second one is products. So think of generators, UPSs, PDUs, servers, switches, et cetera. Each of those, the materials inside as well as the products themselves have embodied carbon. There's a carbon history of those things. So what we said is can we just create a QR label or a carbon label? That carbon label will now show the history of that product or that building which is a sum of the materials and the products in the building. We'll have the carbon history which means that now we've got all the stuff in there that we can report up. Secondly, we now look at the source energy for the data center and we say what is the carbon intensity? How much solar? How much wind? How much coal? How much other things? And now you add up the embodied carbon and the actual source energy carbon and you will know real-time carbon of that data center. Now an important point of this and by the way, in this book which you all must read and thank you very much, JSA. Look at him, I'm self-floating. In the chapter here, this was, we had to set the baseline. And that baseline is this. There are seven million data centers. There's 105 gigawatts of capacity built around the globe. We consume 594 terawatt hours of energy and that translates to 2.4% of the world's energy drop. That's digital infrastructure. That's our industry. But we had to have a baseline because when we have the baseline, now we have a starting point. Okay, the climate accord's now saying, we're going to measure embodied carbon and carbon intensity and power in that portfolio. That's every company that's driving digital infrastructure. Then we can see how much progress we're making. Because if you don't have a starting line, you have no idea if you're making the progress you want.  It launched on Earth Day so last Friday. It's already a best-selling book.  But really, you know, in it, you're talking about all of those things and creating the roadmap and the background and allowing people to understand how they can make a difference and contribute in what some of those, the really, you know, some of the more technical steps that they need to consider. But how, then, you know, can people in the industry get involved?  But how can people get involved in the climate accord? Absolutely. So if you go to imasons.org slash climate accord, you'll see the information about it and there's a button for companies to sign up. But also what's interesting is that individuals can sign up. Because IMasons is a professional association. It's about uniting the builders of the digital age because it's the people that make this happen. They happen to work for great companies, but those companies are not great without those people. And so we unite those people as a community on these efforts and we have four of them. So is education, diversity, inclusion, sustainability, and technology. Now, the reason that this is all coming together and why this book is so important is if you think of the 24 authors in the 20 chapters that are in here, they all have different perspectives. I read through this book and like, okay, so take Gary Connolly, right? And he's talking about bees. I had no idea that the efforts he was doing in Ireland to go back and it's all about the community and that ecosystem, but they're putting in bee elements of this in data center areas. But that's like one of the chapters. I totally didn't understand. So there's 20 more of those in here. Right, from global thought leaders in our industry with, to your point, different perspectives and different ways of learning. Insights. Yeah, actionable insights from industry leaders. Yeah, thank you for that. Thank you. We appreciate having you. I think it's always great to hear from you. Congratulations on the climate accord. Thank you. So inspiring. You're always doing such great work. We appreciate it. We are happy to have you. And join us again. I mean, we'll see you probably at ITW, right? In two weeks from now. Yeah, and so by the way, if you're not, if ITW come over to the JSA event, is I think we're at book signings and stuff.  Anyways, I've never in my life thought I would be published or be a best-selling author. And thank you to JSA for what you guys have done because Jamie and team, it is incredible that a book could be published in less than five months from inception to delivery. I've never heard of that. And already be a best-seller. Yeah. And we must say, and part of a movement, right? So hashtag greener data, join the movement towards greener data. Yeah. So thank you, Dean. Thank you for joining us today. And thank you, viewers, for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts. Happy networking.


Hey everyone, before I get into this video be sure to drop a like, subscribe for more content and hey why not enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate Bundle giveaway through the glean.io link down in the description, when we hit 50,000 subscribers on the channel we'll be announcing the winner for that giveaway. That being said Capcom today has announced that Devil May Cry, the OG, the original, the one that made Dante a household name will be coming to Nintendo Switch this summer. Obviously we assume it's the HD version because it's been HDed. What's interesting about this announcement and by the way I think it's exciting in that of itself guys we're getting a Devil May Cry on Switch like no not Devil May Cry 5 or anything but we're getting Devil May Cry on Switch. I think it's great I want every game in the existence of mankind to come to Switch so this is to me 100% positive news, however there's a caveat to this and that is that they didn't announce pricing. They didn't announce that there would be a physical version either. I hope there's a physical version, could be digital but that's what we'll talk about that later once we get more details and a release date. But I think it's interesting that we didn't get pricing because the thing is the Devil May Cry HD collection which includes basically all of the games with the latest is out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $30 and based on the way pricing models have been working with third parties on Switch chances are that this game might be sold for $30 now we are talking in hypotheticals but even if this game is sold at 15 that's not a good value in comparison to the other systems there's also not really any reason that the Switch couldn't get the Devil May Cry HD collection pack like the rest tab all of those games could run on the 360 and PlayStation 3 so there's not really a reason to not have that collection pack on Switch so while it's nice we have this Devil May Cry announced for Switch it's not the same as other consoles got now obviously we know Switch is not like other consoles but it does feel a little bit slighted and this is Capcom we're talking about if they can charge a premium for one game they will so I would not be shocked to see this at 15 20 even $30 heck hopefully not more than that and then them say oh hey look this sold decently well let's bring over Devil May Cry 2 in HD and sell that for $30 and next thing you know we're paying you know 120 150 bucks for the same amount of games that other you know you can get on other systems for $30 and $30 at the launch of those collection packs so we're not even talking about like oh it's just recent pricing no that's just what those collection packs cost so again the Switch is getting a game and I'd rather have this game than not have it regardless of the price but I do think we need to be a little careful in applauding this 100% of the way because as much as Devil May Cry is an amazing game we do need to pay close attention to how Capcom decides to not only release this game both digitally or physically or both or neither I don't know and obviously pricing because we need to start calling companies out a lot more often when they are giving us unfair pricing on Switch especially the digital only in this 30 bucks you can't even argue oh there's a cartridge premium on it not digitally there's not so let's hope and pray that they do this right the game should probably like five bucks six bucks in my opinion 999 might be you know acceptable for some people but you any higher than that you're starting to get in the territory where this is kind of a raw deal even though the game is why they consider it a fantastic game it started you know a very well-beloved franchise and obviously I am not someone who has played a lot of Devil May Cry because I don't I'm not gonna say I've never played it I don't think I've ever played the original I have dabbled a little bit in three and four but I'm not a big action game guy really until Bayonetta came along and became exclusive on Nintendo with Bayonetta 2 and now Bayonetta 3 and I kind of like action games I definitely like them more than fighting games so it is something that I might be willing to give it a shot just because I've never I've never really gotten deep into a Devil May Cry game before but I again we got to pay attention to pricing and make a conscious decision as consumers if we're okay with whatever they decide to do with this game again we don't have the details so I know I make it a lot of presumptions but we are talking about Capcom who has traditionally done these kind of practices with Switch in the past and with Nintendo platforms in the past so let's pay attention to that but hey for now the good news is we are getting the original Devil May Cry on Switch wish it was the most recent entry but you know beggars can't be choosers as I say although I mean we're really begging for Devil May Cry I think we all thought it'd be nice to have it but I don't know that any of us bagged like that we need to have Devil May Cry on like especially the OG game we need to have Devil May Cry 1 on Nintendo Switch or I'm gonna boy caught Capcom forever I'm like I don't really think that's a thing people were doing so I guess we weren't begging for it so maybe we can be a lot more choosy alright folks as I said I'm Nathan and Robo Dance from Nintendo Prime thanks for watching this video feels great to be back after a weekend away I haven't been feeling good but we'll maybe get more more into this later I might

Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Just yesterday on Thanksgiving Day in Nantucket, Massachusetts, Biden went in front of the cameras at some firehouse and said that we need red flag laws. Red flag laws has an accuser. It doesn't need to be an honest accusation. It's simply an accuser against a gun owner. And the accuser remains anonymous. Never has to show up at court. Nothing like that. And the gun owners will, if approved by a judge, will have their guns removed. This is what Biden said about the need for red flag laws. Look, the idea that we're not enforcing red flag laws, period, just based on knowledge, not on a parent saying or a loved one saying you should arrest this person now for his own sake, is ridiculous. He went out to say, the idea that we allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick. That's number one. Number two, the idea. The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick. It has no socially redeeming values. Carry, self-protection, home protection. That's not important. Criminals will still have them, but I suppose that according to Biden that it doesn't matter. It has no, no socially redeeming values. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers. Can you do anything about gun laws during the lame doctors? I'm going to try. Except profit for the gun manufacturers. Profit is viewed as a bad thing. You know, we talk about the profit from the oil companies, the profit from the gun manufacturers. How about the profit from Pfizer or Moderna? Why don't we talk about that? Profit in this country is good. That means commerce is being exchanged, jobs are being held and in many cases created, but for some reason having profit is a bad thing. What will you try and do? I'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons. During the lame duck? I'm going to do it whenever I got to make that assessment as I get in and start counting the vote. I'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons. What does that mean? Is that any semi-automatic firearm as you described earlier? No socially redeeming value? What exactly does that mean? And everybody who voted for Biden said, well, nobody's coming after your guns. I heard that so many times. Nobody's coming after your guns. Listen, he just said it. We knew this from day one. They hate guns. They hate the idea of people protecting themselves. They hate the idea that we're not reliant upon the government for our own safety. Can you give your assessment of whether Ukraine hate will need to be topped up in the lame duck? Well, yes. As a matter of fact, I just had another drawdown. I signed another drawdown of over $300 million and there's no time to walk away from Ukraine. Based on that, I would think his son, Hunter Biden, would be the first contributor, first in line because he profited millions and millions of dollars from the country of Ukraine. Why isn't he giving up? I haven't heard a thing. Even Joe's in on it. We'll find out more in the future, but he's using the taxpayers' money. I'm not against that. I think we should support Ukraine. When will you get your annual physical, Mr. President? What do you think I need? When will you get your annual physical? Now, that's a question I would like an answer to. I think a detailed physical of his mental capabilities would be a good start, but we're not going to hear about that. We're going to hear about all this other rhetoric about socially redeeming values from semi-automatic firearms. This guy is blind to the world. He doesn't see anything except for what his handlers tell him. And in his world, that's a reality. He's going after your guns. He's going after your guns through red flag laws and confiscation and everything else. All that stuff we heard about, nobody's going after your guns. It's right there. It's been said so many times. I just wanted to play it again because Joe thinks there's no socially redeeming value of self-protection and safety amongst our most vulnerable people out there, our families and the children and even older folks. People are lined up to get trained. People are purchasing firearms. And actually, I saw a statistic recently that said the voters have increased gun control very low on the list of importance in this country. Yet, with everything going wrong, record high inflation, fuel prices and everything else, Biden is focusing on gun control. Unbelievable. This guy is lost and I'm just, I'm sickened by it.

We explain the time change. This is Ben. He manages a team and takes punctuality seriously. His work week starts every Monday with a team meeting. But this Monday, Ben isn't there. He arrives an hour late. How did that happen? Ben forgot about the time change. He wonders why there is such a thing in the first place. On the internet, Ben finds out that the entire calendar and timekeeping system is based on the sun's position. As the earth moves around the sun, its orbit is not a perfect circle, but an oval-shaped ellipse, so our distance from the sun varies throughout the year. Depending on the earth's position relative to the sun, the angle of the sun's rays also changes. That's why in the winter, there's less sunlight than in the summer. The earth takes one year to complete a full orbit around the sun. As a result, the sun's position affects our daylight hours much more than the earth's rotation does. In order to make the most of the summer month's daylight and bring energy use down, many countries change their clocks twice a year. In Europe, the switch to daylight saving time or summertime happens on the last Sunday in March. So that night at 2 a.m., Ben moves his clocks one hour ahead to 3 a.m. Standard or wintertime starts on the last Sunday in October, so at 3 a.m., Ben will move his clocks one hour back. Spring ahead, fall behind. In the United States, the time change happens on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. However, large parts of Asia and Africa don't change their clocks at all, so across the world, there isn't one unified rule. But the time change also has critiques, doctors.2 sleeping disruptions, farmers' complain of reduced revenue, and scholars question the claims of energy savings. When the next time change rolls around, Ben will now be perfectly prepared. But as for the team meeting? To be safe, he'll reschedule it for another day of the week. And how do you remember to change the clocks?
