Repair Day is an annual celebration of being able to repair and save stuff from landfill. We want to encourage everybody to think about repair, not just the people who do repair but people who have stuff that needs repairing. And also Repair Day will raise awareness of local, highly skilled people and they have to be acknowledged and celebrated and promoted. I think repair is essential because it is not sustainable for the environment for things to be thrown away even if just one component has failed. Repair is essential to me because it allows us to offer people the chance to get their machines repaired instead of them having to replace their machines. So to me it's kind of normal to repair. I find it shocking to see that people don't know that stuff is even repairable. London already has a fair repair economy, it's just not very visible. We've been celebrating Repair Day for a few years already. In the last two years we've been holding events in person. Well I'm Repair Day which is the 17th of October, I hope to be part of a group who will actually visit and meet the skilled craftsmen and women who repair things for their living. It's giving them the chance to become more well known. I'm going to celebrate Repair Day by repairing my bike.

All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Welcome to another term. Next is a presentation in the 2014 budget summary. Jim Amodio, our Chief Administrative Officer. Leave one for Susie. Good evening. Back on September 15th, I had presented an executive budget summary for the 2014 budget. Basically, everything on these two sheets of paper, front and back, remained the same.  The only thing that was decided that changed this letter was on the second page towards the bottom. The Finance Committee, after reviewing all budgets, made a recommendation to the council to restore the lever rate back to 2012 levels, which is up to $0.13 a thousand. At the time, we put the estimate together as between $0.09 and $0.10 was the estimate to cover the $293,000. But again, we didn't have all of the state information in which we're getting in now. So we believe we should be OK with a $0.09 and a half to $0.10 increase. That's the only update I have on the budget since July 15. Thank you very much for that presentation, Jim. Is there anyone registered for the public forum? No. Under Mayor's announcements, tomorrow night, the Harbor Center strategic plan is going to be worked on at the John Michael Kohler Art Center. That meeting is going to be held from 6 to 8 PM. We'll be planning for the future of downtown, including discussions on downtown trends and opportunities, input on streetscape, redevelopment, and the business mix. There's also a survey that's being conducted as a part of the master plan. And you can go to the city website at shaboyganwi.gov. And that'll link you to the survey. Or you can go down to Meade Library and participate it on the paper form. They have those available. And you can leave it at the library when you've finished. Our shaboygan firefighters opened up a new permanent exhibit on the third floor of the Above and Beyond Children's Museum on 9-11 last week. This display includes a replica of fire station number one, a restored fire truck cab, and a window overlook of the community garden. Be sure to take your children or grandchildren to see this exciting new exhibit. And it's a real tribute to our firefighters, the work that they did and the sponsors that they incorporated in this for creating this new attraction at the Children's Museum. Road repairs continue. Geely Avenue between Calumet Drive and North 15s will be addressed this next week. There'll be some road closures there. The annual September Adopt-A-Beach cleanup is going to be held this Saturday from 9 AM to noon. People should meet at the Land Park Beach. Camp Waikota is organizing the volunteers for this effort, so please come down and join them on Saturday. Community survey on heroin is being conducted by the shaboygan police department. To participate, just go to the city website at shaboyganwi.gov and click on the Survey Banner, which will take you to the survey link where this can be filled out. There's a household hazardous waste drop-off this Saturday from 8 o'clock until 11 at the county highway shed on 7614 Frontage Road. The fee is $10 a car, and that includes electronics to be dropped off. Next, we'll go on to the consent agenda. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to accept and file all ROs, accept and adopt all RCs, and pass all resolutions and ordinances. Second. Thank you for that motion and second. The consent agenda is before us. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? 14 ayes. And just a point of information on item 2.3, because the state has moved up the date that the state aides are supplied to cities, we were able to move up our budget schedule. And that means that on 10-7, we'll be holding the public hearing on the 2014 budget. And on 10-21, the 2014 budget will be up for final council approval. Documents relating to the budget, which were previously held over till 11-4, will now be laying over until 10-21. Next on reports of officers, we'll hold item 3.1 until we get to item on the agenda, 4.1. 3.2 an RO by the administrative officer with listing of the estimated unreserved balances will lie over. Items 3.3 through 3.13 will all be referred to various committees. Under resolutions 4.1, a resolution authorizing the purchasing agent to enter to a contract for the provision of health screening biometric services for all city employees currently participating in the city's health insurance program and to waive the need for competitive bidding for the services. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to suspend the rules. Is there any objection to suspension? Seeing none, please go ahead. Thank you. I move that we put this resolution upon its passage and also accept and file RO 3.1. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on the motion? Will the clerk please call the roll? 14 ayes. Motion passes. Items 4.2 and 4.3 will be referred then onto reports of committees. 5.1 is an RC by law and licensing pursuant to RO number 86 of 1314 by the city clerk submitting taxicab operators license 8147. That'd be denied based on his failure to accurately reveal all convictions on his application. This record of violations related to the licensed activity and his failure to cooperate with the committee. Alderman Vanderweel. Thank you. I'd like to make a motion to refer this back to committee. Second. It's been moved in second to refer this back to committee. Any discussion on that motion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? Who did the second on that please? Alderman Carlson. 14 ayes. Motion passes. 5.2 is an RC by strategic fiscal planning commission amending the public forum rules for common council meetings. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to accept and adopt to file the resolution. Second. It's moved and seconded to accept and adopt to file the resolution. Any discussion on that motion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? 11 ayes. 3 noes. Motion passes. Next 5.3 is an RC by strategic fiscal planning commission repealing and recreating section 2-112 of the Shboygan Missile Code relating to the time of regular meetings as to change the regular meeting time to 6 o'clock PM rather than 7 o'clock PM. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Move to accept and adopt and put the resolution upon its passage. Second. It's been moved and seconded. The motion is on the floor under discussion. Alderman Boren. Alderman Hammond. Thank you. I would make an amendment given our current budget cycle and some of the things that are already in place that I would amend that just begin on 1-1-2014. It's been moved and seconded to amend the document and have an effective starting date after the first of the year. Any discussion on that amendment? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll on the amendment? OK, hold on just a second, please. Alderman Boren. Thanks, Mayor, under discussion. Would you explain that again, Alderman Hammond, your reasoning for not doing it until January? If we have a chance to start earlier, why not start earlier right away? Go ahead, Alderman Hammond. Thank you. Because of what we're doing with the City College and some of the public hearings that have been posted in our budget cycle that we've already approved, I believe it was kind of the consensus of staff that starting after 1-1 made more sense than starting it prior to 1-1. It would throw off a lot of schedules and a lot of things would have to be rescheduled. So thank you. On the amendment to make it effective 1-1 of 14. Any other discussion on that amendment? Will the clerk call the roll on the amendment? 12 ayes, 2 noes. OK, the motion as amended is before us. Any further discussion on the motion? Seeing none, will the clerk call the roll? I will. 12 ayes, 2 noes. Motion passes. Next, we'll go on to ordinances. 6.1 through 6.7 will all be referred to various committees. And next will be Other Matters, City Attorney. 7.1 is a resolution supporting the Green Tier Charter for Legacy Communities as set forth by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. That will be referred to strategic fiscal planning. Yes. 7.2 is a resolution establishing in the monthly premium equivalent rates for the medical benefit plan effective for January 2014 coverage. That will be referred to salary and grievances. 7.3 is an RO by the city clerk submitting various license applications for the period ending June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2015. That will be referred to the Law and Licensing Committee. And 9.2 is resolution number 55-13-14. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to discharge the finance committee regarding the aforementioned resolution, amending resolution number 184-10-11 to establish service fee for payments that are made by credit card or debit card to the city of Sheboygan. Is there a second? Second. OK, the vote needs to be a two-thirds vote of the council to discharge. Would the clerk please call the roll? 13 ayes. Go ahead, Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move that resolution number 55-13-14 be passed. Second. I move the second to pass resolution number 55. Under discussion, Alderman Boren. Thank you, Mayor. It says establish a service fee. What is the service fee going to be? What is it going to be based on? I suppose our costs, or go ahead. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is a service fee right now. Traditionally, when you run a credit card, that service fee is paid for by the vendor that has the credit card. I'm very similar to an ATM. We're going to a fee for service where somebody used a credit card or a debit card, depending on the amount. Grades just from about a buck 50 to about three bucks, depending on what the amount that's being charged, and that gets charged to the individual that is making that charge. I believe Chad, correct me if I'm wrong, up to 50 bucks, it's a buck 50, over 50 to 100, three bucks. So again, passing on that cost instead of to the taxpayers, those that are using the service would pay for it. Thank you for that explanation. Alderman Boren. Just to follow up, how much would we anticipate? How many credit card transactions are we doing now and how much are we estimating that the fee will bring in? Alderman Hammond. Thank you. I'm not exactly sure the total number of credit cards that are swiped every year, but we estimate about a $15,000 savings. Thank you for that information. Rather, Chad Pellecek, you have some additional information. This is a new system called Point and Pay. The county right now uses it. We've adopted it and have programmed it and what we're looking at doing is implementing credit card payments and other departments that haven't historically accepted a credit card as in building inspection, the municipal service building. So those types of fees where we've always collected cash or checked, they'll now have the option to do credit card. So the $15,000 savings that we would see is really the savings that is in the finance department currently and the municipal court system. So what we're looking at is if we would implement the current credit card system in all, in these other departments as well, transit is on and municipal court, we would obviously see more expense to it. This puts the expense, like Alderman Hammond said, on the user versus on the city. So there's a processing fee every time you would use your credit card and that way we can roll it out to other departments so we've got another means of payment for people that are paying for services. Thank you very much, Chad. Any other discussion? Would the clerk please call the roll in the motion? 14 ayes. Motion passes. Alderman Hammond. Thank you again, Mr. Mayor. Move to convene in the closed session under the exemption provided in section 19.851 E Wisconsin Statutes for the purpose of deliberating the possible sale of public property where competitive and bargaining reasons require a closed session. Second. Move to second it to go in the closed session. Will the clerk please call the roll? 14 ayes. Motion passes. We'll take a five minute recess and then go into closed session.


Okay, here's a couple of ways you can communicate with the users on your particular moodle. If it's just at a course level, you can go into the said course through the eyes of an admin or a teacher, participants, click the participants via the people block. In this case, let's select all participants, that could be teachers and students. With the selected, we will send a message. You get to preview that and that is then sent to the selected users. The other way to go beyond a course level means a communication with your users via text. You can come in here to the side administration box. This is purely through the eyes of the administrator. Your system may only have a few of those, which you go users, accounts, bulk user actions. You can run a variety of filters if you're looking to send messages to people by a specific location, like a city or town or a country, or when they first or last access, for example, or by name, or leave that. Let's just presume we want to send a message to all users in this case. So it includes everybody's admin, students and teachers. Add to selection. What we can do down here, again, with those selected users, we could send them a message and that is done. Now that sends a text-based message to these users. If they aren't currently logged into the system, they're not online at that point in time, they will receive the notification via their email inbox. Whatever email was designated during the account creation process for the Moodle. What I've just done is log out. Now I'll come back in as one of these students just to give you an idea of what they would see in any case. So a window would pop up. That's on the presumption that their browser is accepting pop-ups or this Moodle site is a trusted site. And you can see the messages that came through there. Okay. You can add that person as a contact and view the message history at a later stage. So that's an instant means of communication between one person and another. It's a private means of communication that's all logged and recorded. And as I said, if the user is not logged in, the message, the message gets piped to their inbox. They can click the link, log into the system. And in any case, then see this message like so as it pops up in a window.


Question is from Melissa Lenari, S-Y-T. For a woman who lifts alone, should you just ask some random dude to spot you when you want to lift heavy? Is it weird or creepy? Hmm. Who picked this question? I did. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did. First of all, I had a lot of likes from people that obviously wanted to hear the question answer. I'm trying to put myself in her shoes. And I guess that's a really, really good question. It is a fair question. Especially, we encourage strength training and there's a lot of women, I think, that are really starting to move in that direction. And it's a new area. They're having to do three to five reps and that's a much heavier load and can be scary to feel like what's to do that on your own.  You instantly probably assume she's flirting with you or she wants to talk with you. I mean, that's every guy, unfortunately. I know. And I can imagine that that would be a challenge for a woman. She's like, God, I just want to spa. Yeah, I don't want all that, but I just actually, you know, want what I asked. Well, I'll tell you what, spotters were very valuable about 20 years ago. Today, not so much. And here's why. Most gyms have a free weight equipment that you could set up to spot you. So like if, because I'm trying to think, what exercises do you really need to spot her for? Well, this is a, I was going to go the same direction as you where you're going right now. And in fact, maybe Doug, we can write this down too. Maybe Danny can shoot some videos on this. Cause I don't think we've done a series on how to bail out of some of the biggest lifts, like how to bail on a dead lift, how to bail on a squat. Like things did like how to bail on that. I mean, we were just lifting together and I had to bail squatting with Justin and we were caused the discussion afterwards. And you know, Sal was like, man, you bailed from that. Really? I'm like, yeah. No, I would, I always Justin's there. I know Justin would be a great spot. I don't even ask him. I don't want him to. I would much rather, I know my limits. I know how far I want to push you. If I feel my form breaking down at all, I just bail on the exercise. I feel it's way safer. I agree too. Yeah, it's just like you're not so relying on somebody else like making sure they're really hyper paying attention and having the right, you know, leverage to really help you know, in the spots where you could just dump it. Well, I'm trying to think right now, like what are the exercises that you would, that people would really be afraid if you're using dumbbells, mostly squatting, squatting, overhead pressing and bench pressing, especially bench pressing. That's probably the scariest pressing is, but here's the thing. Most gyms will have a power rack where you could set the safety safety bars underneath and you set the safety bar so that at the very bottom of the rep where it's at your chest, the safeties will catch it.  You put it down. The safeties will catch it. Then you can shimmy your way out from under the bar or unrack the bar and you're okay. Same thing with the squat. Same thing with an overhead press. You don't need a spotter for anything else. You don't need a spotter for a deadlift. You drop the weight. You don't need a spotter for any dumbbell exercise. You just throw them down onto the ground. Make sure you don't throw them at someone. So really it's just squat, overhead press and bench press. In which case, and like this is what I meant by saying 20 years ago, it was hard to find a gym that had a lot, unless you went to like a hardcore bodybuilding or powerlifting gym, there weren't many safeties for free weights. I mean, you had machines but they didn't have like ones for free weights. Now, if I go to, I go to gyms and almost every single gym I've been to these days that's got a decent weight room has safeties for their benches even. Yeah. You know, you don't even have to use a power cage. You just have the bench press. There's a little arms on the side, set them up so that they're down at the bottom. You don't need a safety. And to be honest with you, I think it's, I think it's better because using a spotter means that the spotter also needs to know how to spot. Yes. There's a skill involved. And I think that's, I think that's what eventually moved me in the direction of never wanting a spot is I've had enough instances where I thought I could just tap, shoulder tap the guy who looks buff or looks fit, you know, come over here. Hey, I'm going to, I'm going to push myself.  Can you spot me? And then they end up spotting me and it ends up being worse. And then I end up hurting myself trying to get the weight up where I wish they would have just taken it up off of me.  And because there's a, especially in, especially in gyms, there's a lot of meat head guys that have this mentality of like, that's what it should look like. You know, one rep, if someone's going really heavy they should be at a sticking point. Come on, you can do this guy and his fingers are right there. Come on. You got this is like, no, if I have a spot, I don't want to break momentum. Yeah. I don't ever want to get stuck and stick there because that's where the issues happen. That's where somebody gets hurt and I would much rather hit that sticking point myself and then realize I'm not going to get this weight today and drop it and bail. Yeah. I think the only one I'd even consider anymore is bench just for the lift off, you know, just for that initial bit. So I could have it like ready to go and then drop in, but I don't want them intervening at all, but it's even then like you should be able to do that first part where you unrack it yourself. And then I know I'd love, I'd like to be able to put the weight down. Here's what happens with the bad spotter.  So now they're pulling up harder on you and you're trying to let go. You just gave them a job.  Dangerous. It's better to have, it's better to use a squat rack with safeties or a bench with safeties than if you can't do it, you'd put it down yourself. You're not, the spotter's not sitting there trying to lift it. I told you guys like what happened when I was squatting, I had somebody, I brought somebody over to spot me and they actually ended up like intervening so much right at my sticking point that they pushed me forward. And so I started to fall forward with weight on my back. That's bad. You know, and so then I ended up like falling onto my knee and then like being in a compromised position where they had to get like more guys to come pull it off me and almost like injured me. Have you guys ever got stuck under weight? No. Never? No. Well, you know what? That's probably because I started lifting young in the backyard. Yeah. Yeah. I've gotten stuck under. Oh, stuck like, yeah, I've had that before. Oh, yeah. Before I learned how to, actually that's the first time I learned how to bail. Really? Yeah. I had a bench, I was benching man and the bar, I was, I thought, oh, I think I can do one more. And I was in the backyard. Mom was cooking dinner. So she, that was just me back there.     That happened to me five or two times. The truth is that 95% of the time you shouldn't even be chasing that kind of weight that you're, you would potentially not be able to get it up. 95% of that. Going to failure causes that. Yeah. Yeah. 95% of the time you should not ever be training that heavy that you would have to bail on a load. Now, I just said I did it the other day and what happened, I'm lifting with Justin, you know what I'm saying? And this is, we talked about this afterwards like no way I would have done that had I not been all hyped up because I took a pre-workout Justin's lifting, he's adding weight into it. I'm not going to be a wuss and be like, nah, drop the weight. I don't want to do that. This is why we don't work out so much. Right. It's just two days later, he chooses to deadlift with me. Yeah. He's like, what am I doing? I swung with Justin. I don't know. You picked the wrong exercises. Oh man. So and that's just it. It's like, I shouldn't have done that. I did it anyways. If I'm going to do something like that and I feel myself stick through it, I'm smart enough now to know that just get out of it. And if you think about it, if you know how to bail properly with the squat, having a spotter there only puts the spotter in danger. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's better that you just bail on your own or what I say for this young lady, use the safeties, go get a power, go use the cage, learn how to use the safeties or use the bench with the safeties. You'll never need to use a spotter. That's why I think we should have Danny do a video because I teach them how to do that. Yeah, we could do a really good video, especially on bench and on squatting, which I agree is probably the two main ones that somebody needs help learning how to bail on those or set up the safety racks. And then, you know, that's and then use it that way. Forget using a spotter. I'm not a fan of using somebody else as a spotter. And just keep in mind too, this is if you're training that heavy, it should it should be very infrequent that you're doing this.  Too much. Yeah, too much.


Well involves two consonant sounds and one vowel sound. Let's start with the end. L, l, then we have the vowel sound, eh, eh, eh. Now, let's add our first consonant sound. W, w, w, well, well.

So here's the update from the appointment. Um, I've been off the foot for six weeks I haven't been running for six weeks three weeks on the crutches three weeks in the boot and We're okay Basically, I explained to him like how the foot's been feeling what it's been feeling like over the past ten days What I've been doing to just try and stay off the foot as much as possible the cross training everything and we came to the conclusion That it's time to test the foot meaning start walking full-time in the shoe So he what he wants me to do is starting at 3 30 p.m. Today when I walked out of his office He wants me to walk pain-free for 24 hours if I can't if I can't accomplish that Then he wants me to get back in the boot But if I can walk pain-free for 24 hours, then I can keep proceeding forward Torred jogging sooner rather than later. So but that is the status update. I it's amazing It's just like oh I can see the light, right? I could see the light at the end of the tunnel So it's coming and that is a basic synopsis of what we went over like he poked he prodded He we did walking across the floor We did all sorts of things to make sure that there was no additional pain popping up anywhere And I we couldn't find any pain in his office today. So this is good news Thank you for the support I the reason I pause there because we're not out of the woods yet Thank you for your support, but like we're not out of the woods yet again 24 hours walking in the shoe Making sure that there's no pain over the next 24 hours and by the way somebody noticed yesterday that yes I am a little sick or dealing with allergies. I'm not quite sure which one, but we're gonna make it through So that is exciting and what oh, yeah keyword walk keyword walk. We're walking. See ya We're gonna stick this guy up there and yes So anyway, if you have any other thoughts or questions about the foot feel free to ask it down in the comments to this Mizuno real quick I'm not gonna break it down too much because I haven't jogged in it yet, but maybe sooner rather than later instead I'll just give you a few specs real quick few like first impressions coming out of the box It's the Mizuno sky wave knit 3 is the name I saw it on a couple websites, but I also it's not like widespread availability yet So this is definitely a brand new shoe I think I saw June 12th that this shoe is gonna be don't quote me on that But I thought I saw that online that it's gonna be available all over the place So let's see Mizuno sky wave knit 3 10 millimeter drop So pretty high on the scale of drop or offset a lot of Nike shoes are 10 millimeter as many of you know Let's see 10. Oh, yeah, it's a heavier shoe So it's being advertised at 10.9 ounces at least what I'm seeing I actually haven't weighed it yet in my Sizing but for a road daily trainer. That is a heavier shoe. However, you know, my thesis on heavy shoes I like heavier shoes for daily trainers. Why I think it helps build up a little bit of leg strength So like tempo days On long runs, I need to be wearing heavier shoes like the Vamara 14 or who knows maybe even possibly this Why I need to tone it down a little bit on my long runs I I was going a little too fast on my long runs in the last training block, which I think led to this injury Just a wee bit. So anyway, I'm not afraid of a heavier shoe just so long as you own One pair of shoes for racing that are really really lightweight because when you go from this to a racing flat You're gonna fly you're just gonna fly or a cross-country spike or a track spike or whatever it might be So there's the wait for you. Let's see. What else? It's it's okay. Mizuno Mizuno Mizuno is building Constructing engineering high high quality build build quality through Mizuno shoes That's what I've noticed so far in the Mizuno's that I have tried ladies and gentlemen the opposite I will say of Skechers and Skechers like I'm I like I like the Skechers razor 3 personally And I I still need to put miles into the go run 7 hyper But I'm telling you just holding the shoe feeling it. It's it's the opposite end of the spectrum for The build quality compared to Skechers like the upper of the Skechers But in the process of buying running shoes, you have to ask yourself, okay Can the build quality match the amount of miles that you can get out of a shoe like this one So just holding it in my hands. I am predicting 4 to 500 quite easily part of it is because of this outsole is I can tell the rubber is really I could just I can Just tell it's gonna last you a long long time But because the even though the outsole is great and the upper build quality. I'm telling you like once you hold this thing It's like the heel counter and everything really high quality But will the midsole cushion Be able to match the rest of the shoe build quality so it's like that it's like a walk in that line in Constructing a running shoe and all right goodness. All right. That's it for now for the Mizuno. We could talk all night Oh, yeah, one last thing I did I was correct. This is a new midsole foam It's the X-pop hold on X-pop pu foam midsole So again, it feels a little firm But I'm wondering if it's gonna lead to some pretty good energy return through that X-pop pu Midsole so foam it's all so anyway very excited about that and one last thing hold on All right, here's the deal ladies and gentlemen the early bird gets the worm this vlog Publishes every morning at 5 a.m. Mountain time. That's 4 a.m. on the west coast 7 a.m. 7 a.m. On the east coast about noon in over in Europe and about 5 p.m.. Over in Asia So here's the deal if you're watching this early in the morning, you're in luck Basically, I'm gonna give away three of these buffs and these are kind of I haven't looked up this specific company But some buffs are not I've seen them as high as $30 so they don't give them away And so I want to give three away But here's what you got to do the first three people to tag me and Put a link to the YouTube channel one on Instagram one on Twitter one on Facebook go So whoever does it first gets I will mail you this I will mail you one of these buffs again I'm guessing I haven't looked up this company, but I'm guessing it's a 20 to 30 dollar value from Kree Climbing so anyway, that's how it's gonna go down You got to tag me put a photo up and a link to the YouTube channel That's how we're gonna do it all right and last but not least the question of the day This is really important. Here we go. I've published four videos in the past two weeks Centered around races so the Boulder Boulder and then the dirty 3050 K I did a vlog for the Boulder Boulder and then a cinematic edit So about five to six six minutes where it's basically a highlight reel with no talking and then the dirty 30 I did the same thing a vlog and then a more cinematic approach So here we go What do you prefer and maybe you haven't had a chance to watch both that's fine But if you did especially like what a what approach Do you enjoy more when it comes to watching? Racing vlogs where I'm not necessarily racing, but I'm out there filming for all of you All right, so the cinematic approach the vlog approach There's other ways to film as well, but that is the question of the day I know that's kind of a lot to process But it would it's gonna help me a lot this summer because I'm gonna I'm gonna rock and roll man I'm gonna I'm gonna film a lot of races for all of you some big ones some small ones and Who knows maybe get over to London to film kipchogi. I don't know. That's one of the goals So let me know down in the comments. I'd appreciate it walk is the keyword. Thank you, Mizuno So excited about these and again here we go top three top three Who's gonna be first Twitter Instagram and Facebook see beauty work hard


Hey everyone, welcome back to another XO Zero's video. So today's video we are going to be discussing Blue FC Garf and her arrival tomorrow. More or less I was a bit shocked but I did anticipate what was coming but again before that if you want an updated XO Zero's content please hit the subscribe button down below. Okay, so we have here a notice for FC Chance Up, Guardian of the East Garf, recruit. Garf from the parallel world is going to be, is a journal for Naomi. Okay, so Pitcheraco Brun by subjugating the mounted bandits in the eastern part of Brun. So more or less this is actually a pattern where a journal has a blue fate core like Rachel who started it. The next I think who had a general, sorry not a general but a lieutenant was Rera but Garf is a general. So more or less Garf is the second in terms of having a second general having their blue fate core. So this is going to be on June 17th, Thursday after the maintenance up to June 23rd Wednesday. Okay, so let's check out our main hero and how she looks like. Definitely Brun inspired costume. Again, I like Brun. I've been emphasizing this for quite a while because their art is mostly inspired oriental but with a splash of steam punk a bit but more on the oriental side. So again, terrific design. Again, very top notch for the design team for exos heroes. And let's take a look at her fate core ability. So attack is 32, defense 58, health 259 and comet power is 10,800. Again, for blue fate cores, you don't need to equip them, not even equip them. You just need to make sure that your fusion and you can unequip them. Then you could basically use the the fated hero. Let's say for example for signature force but you should make sure that you fusion them first before you unequip them because again, as long as you have the fate core fusion, the stats that they will be buffing will still have an effect on your team. So as you can see here to my surprise when I read this earlier, actually not a bit surprised but I had a little bit of a hit last time in my last video that the buff will be given to Brun heroes not for because many were assuming that a blue FC garf would give buffs to defense type heroes but again, it's not going to happen. This is a buff for Brun because again, I'm sure that the theme right now is for Brun. So again, this is fitting that they give garf. That garf gives a buff to Brun heroes. The problem with this is that you only have a handful of good Brun heroes right now but again, I don't think this will be a problem. Most people are actually looking forward to using FC Dorca if she gets her FC that is it and also for FC Naomi right now I'm actually building her. So more or less it's only I think Kailak that I haven't built so but more or less I'm actually kind of happy, semi happy with this one. There will be a great chance that I'll be using Brun nation heroes will be for once FC Dorca gets her FC but again, I'm a little bit surprised but again, I had this in mind already. So anyway, the buffs are as follows. So combat power is plus 2%. This is just for the fate core, no fusions. Attack is at plus 1%. Health is at plus 6%. Defense is at plus 1%. The plus one attack will actually benefit Dorca and also a couple of fusions if you have fusions. So if you have fusion the blue FC garf this is going to be your buffs that is applicable. So the first buff for fusion one for E you will have here this range D is your fusion two, C is your fusion three, B is your fusion four and A is your fusion five. So again, it's ideally I should be able to reach 570 to 6 so to 6.3% because again, I wanted to increase the attack of FC Dorca because of her ability for soul bond. So more or less I'm aiming for more. I actually do have enough for pity but I'm just looking at around D or C. I'm not sure if you're going to get six copies of garf in just one, what do you call this, 128 pulls but again, you'll never know. My luck tomorrow would probably be good but again, I'm not really banging on it. So more or less this is your progression in terms of stat bonuses as you go along the fusion levels. So skill information, let's go through FC garf's skills. So protect three same as his basic same as his other fate core. Shared health to lowest maximum health of an ally heals their health by 30% of the casters current health at the start of rounds. So again, grants that ally healing gain one mana if health of target is at 20% or less gain one mana if health of target is at 70% or more. So breath of mana over time effect front row allies permanently gain one mana that includes FC garf and command grants allies with lower maximum health than self with a command mark increases the defense and health by 40% which is actually very good which makes FC garf or any garf for that matter blue FC garf or gold FC garf really tanky because of command. So again, flag of providence is actually the new ability in this set. So it started with started with FC Naomi. So FC Naomi and I think the others are FC Ulu and the other one I forgot. So more or less flag of providence is increased defense by 20% for each back row hero and attack by 20% to each front row hero. So more or less based on him or her as a blue fate core, I won't be bringing this blue fate core because actually my my gold fate core garfs FC is actually maxed already and if in case I still bring um what do you call this I still bring brun in a certain team I have their FC Naomi to have flag of providence. So I don't think this will be a problem. So more or less I won't be using um this FC in battle more or less for just for the buffs but let's take a look at the S1. I think this is still the same so piercing of conviction deals 375% damage to one enemy and more or less it's the same with uh with the previous um FC eastern fate back row first deals for 20% damage to all back row enemies. So again this is going to be his skills S1 and S2. So as a precaution um the chance up rate is 0.5% which is actually very very low compared to some of the games that I've seen and you can you can earn 1 recruit mileage for recruiting hero 11 times 28 or mileage is required or guaranteed obtained definitely tomorrow I will be pitting this um FC garf blue version also because I want the design of um the for example the the design of the costume or the equipment or the uniform of FC FC garf here so I will be pulling for her definitely because of those um the the drawback with um sorry before we we we talk about drawback I'll discuss first the uh the weapon so again um FC garf's weapon is actually kind of good in terms of design a take note I'm not saying I like uh since since before exclusive weapons um I don't really like that much because again it's just a zest trap for you to expel expel your zest I learned my lesson with um FC Sabrina banner because I wasted a lot of zest pulling for exclusive weapon but again for this one I would not suggest you guys pulling for this um more or less if you're really a fan and if you really a whale which in you have a lots of zest extra zest then you may pull but again the bonuses are not that much so comat power only past 3000 and attack plus 30 so that's it okay so also the sorry for that the percentage of summoning is also or 0.5% same as the fate core so again I would highly this um I would highly uh what they call discourage you guys not to get her fated weapons again also 28 core milages to uh milages for a guarantee update okay so let me just go back to FC garf and probably give you my my thoughts on her again it's it's really the the this version of FC garf or blue FC garf is really niche because unless if you are interested in developing um developing brand heroes led by Dorca and Naomi then you can go for her but again if you don't have the intention of developing brand I don't think she is the fate core for you um save it for another fate core probably we're we're looking at a couple of fate cores already on the horizon I think four of them um I hope they could release FC Dorca FC Dorca soon so that we could justify this this uh blue fate core but again uh if you're not going to build brand then skip this banner okay so that's the only thing but if you want to develop brand and if you feel that this is a very good investment um then go for it for me it's it's a bit of a it's a bit of a positive note because again I'm developing brand and also I'm carrying wasted red which garf is there in which I'm I'm only after her current costume that is why I'm also pulling for her and equipping it to to to the current uh garf that I have but again the buff would really really help especially if I am planning to bring FC Dorca back in the future once she gets her fate core okay guys so this is the the last portion of the video and for those who have stuck around I am actually thanking you and also please consider subscribing if you find value in this video also don't forget to click that bell icon so that you don't miss any future exos heroes videos please put your comments down below on FC garf or blue FC garf on what you think over kit what you think of them uh giving buffs to brand heroes stay safe take care this is the warden and I'm out here


Bob a fun one in Atlanta tonight This is a team that has given the net some fits and Steve Nash prior to the game Recognize that it's not a great matchup for Brooklyn their size their scoring ability their length and It came down to the wire forced overtime Hawks continued to attack the rim, but the nets big three again too much for Atlanta to handle This is gonna be an issue for a lot of teams around the NBA.  That's what most teams are gonna have to face that question Whether or not you can actually pull it off against the kind of talent that Brooklyn brings What has been nice to see additionally in these wins for the nets is when it matters in closing time They're also getting just enough stops to be able to pull out these victories And for as much as we can applaud what we see on the offensive end Which there is a lot to gush about not just in terms of the big three, but also so many of the complementary players, whether it's Joe Harris Jeff Green Additional guys making important timely plays, but defensively they seem to be coming together more in terms of their communication their rotations And an understanding in the effort in the willingness to make those second effort plays And I think overall too when you look at Atlanta just the tough matchup at the size of length athleticism They've got playmakers. They've got shooters They've got a little bit of everything on that side of the ball The net said a good job rebounding and I think that's been one of their Achilles heels throughout this season is giving up second Chance opportunities Atlanta comes in second rebounding team in the league third in terms of offensive rebounds and second chance points and the Nets did a Really nice job throughout the course of the game taking care of the basketball some of the areas that are of concern They're starting to improve on no doubt Well, we're gonna keep an eye on minutes throughout the season and how Steve Nash monitors that with the big three We were curious if anybody would step forward on the bench at halftime the bench had done very little second half fourth quarter in particular Jeff Green Bruce Brown Both of them made impactful plays that did play a role in the fact that the Nets won this game Not just the big three, but Brown and Green playing a large role in the plays that jump out Are they highlight dunks by Jeff Green?  Bruce Brown on the offensive end despite the fact that so much of the reason He's on the floor comes with his defensive sure prowess and presence He's just very comfortable finding places on the floor to give an availability to pass for his teammates And he's knocking down those shots around the rim the 10 15 footers that you want to see out of him So for that reason really important also, I think in this game This was the first time we really saw James Harden be Aggressive early on and throughout and there was a nice balance between Harden Irving and Durant and when they were looking to shoot when they were sharing the basketball And you saw that trickle into the entire roster in the lineup So the Nets get some revenge here against the Hawks Atlanta won the last meeting between these two teams And then they'll face a similar situation Oklahoma City is coming up on the schedule last time they played It was the thunder that surprised the Nets with a win here in Brooklyn


Mark good to see you everybody on YouTube Facebook live looks like we're having a good time first of all before we get started I like to thank Rob Booker yesterday. We had a great event yesterday if you missed that event I know a lot of you signed up for it, but very good friend of mine always look up for Rob Booker I've been doing business with him so many years just a great educator Content is amazing. I'd like to thank them take in the opportunity to talk to his his audience and his You know his following and everything else and went great So hopefully some of you guys are there to enjoy it in the meantime Regarding about what's going on today. We see the market down about 300 points. We had a Complete flat day yesterday. I thought we were gonna have a major catastrophe Do you guys hear what happened last night that Russia hit one of the one of the you know Was it one of the plants and nuclear plants ever heard about that? Thank God, it wasn't that serious. They didn't hit it that bad But you know what you're talking something you're talking about a nuclear bomb, you know And that could have killed almost millions and millions of people so listen I don't think things I think a lot of you realize it things are not getting better. They're getting worse Okay, if you could tell me one thing what that's going to make this thing better I'm all ears so as a trader You have to be prepared and you got to prepare For the worst and as a trader now I know we're gonna take you have to care ourselves personally and I feel bad for the everybody here in Europe and Ukrainians our hearts and you know, my wife is half Ukrainian and you know my my my in-laws my Debbie's my wife's parents Debbie they escaped World War two my her father of her grandfather make up about my her father and her Grandmother made it across living in concentration camps their whole lives getting over so and it's it It looks like we're gonna have something it's gonna happen again I mean, it's only getting worse now The only thing I want to kind of give you guys a little prepared about you could see the market on my watch list is all red There I sold yesterday if you were in the cyber group room. I got out of my Bitcoin Coinbase right here. I got out. Thank God yesterday wrong stock This one I sold it right around here right the open right around not a 190 and I bought it back. I did well and I lost to my second trade So, you know, the only stock I'm holding right now is DWAC as the only stock I'm holding you can see it looks awesome being get past this hundred things gonna, you know It could be a fun stock but all that negative negative news the stock was holding pretty well regarding about What's gonna happen and this is where I think it's gonna get a lot worse United States Still has not decided what they're doing with Russian oil You know, we're still we're still taking in 10% of their oil and you know, and I you know, they're not you know Listen, obviously, we're we're funding this war, you know by buying Russian oil You could see that everybody got rid of doing business with Russia was formula one any NHL a lot of oil companies And I I just I just think that the Biden administration still does not know how they're going to fix it because once they say that they're not gonna buy Russian oil You know, we were energy, you know independent now. We're not so if they take that away The only thing yeah, I think that they're waiting for is how they're gonna make up for that 10% of not buying that Russian oil So that's why if they say we're not gonna buy Russian oil I think oil is gonna take off and really take off like we can like 150 like that But unless they have a backup plan to make up for it And that's why I think you haven't heard anything yet because you can't just say we're not buying Russian oil I mean you heard Nancy Pelosi, you know that a member of the house said we're not buying Russian oil anymore But the Senate and the president here United States has not said anything I think they just try to figure out where we're gonna make make up for that difference Because if they just said that we're not doing it that you know That's almost what almost 500,000 barrels a day that we're getting from them They got to make it up from somewhere and it's not gonna be from the reserves You know, they need they need to do something unless they're gonna drill here or somebody else has given it to us from somewhere else So that's why I'm thinking I hearing anything but oil is on the big move again I'm still a very bullish on oil and a lot of stocks are doing it and listen It's just not oil. There's a stock that we traded yesterday. We did pretty well on was wheat okay, so You know what you some of you people don't realize and you learn this as being a trader and and I think a lot of people We it was great Norman. I know we it was awesome and we'll talk a little bit about that right now that Some people didn't realize I didn't know this until yesterday and I wish I knew it, you know three four days ago, but Ukraine on Actually supplies I think like 12% or 15% of the wheat in the world They're like how one of the yeah, they're the bread basket of Europe. That's what they call it right Mike 20% Okay, now think about that for is it 30? I think it was like 20 is it 30? Listen regardless It's not zero. It's not 1% that is a major major You know a supply chain of wheat and listen, I'm Italian. I love my pasta. Okay I love my bread. You could see it, you know I'm a sucker for that but on you know, think about it They have some of the best wheat there and then what's gonna happen there Just like what happened with here with the US with the virus people didn't realize that Tylenol is not made in our country It's all made in China and if there was this dispute imagine that we couldn't get our drugs there You know our big supply chain is with China forget about oil. That's just one thing. Okay, so You starting to realize as a trader that Granted as a you know as a consumer or just just an individual you think of like this is pretty crazy, right? Like, you know, why we're not doing our allies or dealing with this but the thing is as a trader you like that makes it that much worse for certain stocks to make things rally and You know and when you look at stocks like really rushes like a big supplier of Germany or why would they do that? You know when you look at it like why why would they do it? Why wouldn't I buy from the US? Why do you stop make being oil independent help us support? Why be bringing from there like like who makes these policies whatever it is and then when when this happens You don't realize it until something bad happens, which like I'd say all the time catastrophes make opportunities and that's why you're seeing these things go up and Things getting crushed the way that that they're they're going so you have to be prepared To say okay.  Why is oil going up? Okay, because you know because I said so or somebody else it's all about you know the Catastrophe so you have to be prepared and be focused on it now Looking at some of the stocks.  It was a big run-up and boil great swing trade Okay, so listen at the end of the day, you got to make money, right? This is your time to shine now regarding about yesterday some stocks that we traded You know, we were we had a great class yesterday in phase 3 lesson 1. We The afternoon was kind of crappy. I didn't really think it was that great. We traded stock PLTR and That was you know, kind of a good short on it You could see it took a little bit of a beating a lot of stocks that I wanted to short was not really out there You know because some brokerage firms allow you to short not but like there were a couple of stocks that were moving yesterday Like I said, we had wheat that just did phenomenal Let me bring up that you could see it right there. Just ten dollars a thing went to 12 nice push right there What else we had Neo? You know, we all know what Neo is this is the Neo is the The copycat of Tesla of China, you know, I told you about what the story with China is yesterday If you haven't watched I want to repeat it go back and watch the recording yesterday What's going on with China with these public companies?  That's another topic in itself plug Another stock we did really well the last couple of days now plug starting to come down was a really good short that one also INDO, I mean the list goes on and on and on INDO has just been on fire and this stock is actually going back on the watch list The only thing bad thing about INDO. It is extremely volatile. It's very hard to day trade You could see what happened around 2 o'clock it ran from 24 down to 17 So unless you're a category 5 trader do not trade this stock and don't think well, maybe I'll just trade a hundred chairs You know go out there trade trade a small lot and see how it goes another stock. That's really benefiting from this whole catastrophe also is You know US deal. Okay, US deal has been an animal the last two weeks $24 to about 30 the only thing I don't understand is why I'm not hearing I'm talking about more in a financial stations That's much how wise you are still doing great. You know what? Read between the lines. Okay, so this stock has done unbelievable when it comes to trading So US deal obviously another stock. You got to keep an eye on it and yesterday when we were trading it Let me just bring this up because this was a I'm gonna share something through some of you that are not students Cyber trade university. Okay, but let me show you bring this up because we this is the stock that we traded Look at look at the stock in the trading range at 330 the stock was awesome It ran from $30 and 70 cents all the way to 30 3095 back down to 30 70 back up to 30 95 back down to 30 70 all the way up to the close And then it came right back down Right after that. I mean this doc did you could have went long short long short long short You know why that it had a tough time breaking 31 and you know why never want to go below 31 set 30 70 because there were a huge Iceberg orders at each one of those levels and if you've not been following those iceberg orders And you don't know about it and you're watching this as a delay Maybe watching as recording you have to follow the money, but this stock was awesome yesterday in phase 3 So that was it now. What's going on this morning? Listen, I'm not really saying what's going on this morning There's not that much out there. Okay I looked around which doesn't mean the markets over for us, but there were a couple of stocks like INDL, which we already know about U.S. Steel we already know about it the ETFs. Okay, so ETFs are doing pretty well UVXY You know, you could see how that stock is moving pretty well also boil, you know, obviously very spotty and pre-market What else it I am PP That stock we has been doing pretty well last couple of days nice little push petroleum stock another one. That's on the list We got a little bit of a bounce back on BJ's BJ's a you know, obviously got crushed major support levels at 55 Stock hit it there. You could see it stock bounced right there and then DWAC, you know, listen if it breaks through at 100 You know, this thing could be all through races again, but it's been moving on a really nice steady pattern but Not really that much. It's Friday. I don't like to trade on Fridays as much Friday's not always the greatest days to trade You know people like going into the weekend, but with the whole war stuff going on, you know There's always something that will pop up. Now. Is there anything I'm missing. I did not call out Anything else? Cliff is saying the C and X the aluminum stock Yeah, I mean that stock also all these stocks are doing great So, I mean it this side of the stock did come down but on a swing trade. She did pretty pretty well Cliff Bill saying the CLF CLF, I mean CLF another like another nice little push on that stock not the greatest day trade It was good in this morning Cliff, but you know, like I said, it was a pretty good swing trade anything corn Another stock that's you know, corn is also listen all these ETFs all these all the you know all the future stocks are just Unbelievable unbelievable.  Okay, because that's what it's all about Gr. There's a short squeeze on g r a b Probably get a little bit of a bounce here, but nothing great CVX Yeah, that thing is just big big pop right there was that chevron That was the stock that we were talking I was talking with With Tom Busby last week remember was there doing an event with him and we saw these big Resistance levels at 40. Look at the thing ran to 160 incredible. How good the stock was doing, you know But he made he did really well with that stock. That was a great call on his part now It's breaking a nice 52 week high. All right, everybody.

How you guys my name is Brittany and welcome back to my youtube channel you guys in today's video I'm going to take you along as I plan my first week back at home school our second semester This is actually my first video of the new year.  They were really craving for us to start back school Even though we still had like one more week back before we officially started So on wednesday thursday and friday All of my kiddos we did math Reading for my oldest sort of brielle. We did grammar and we did a little bit of history. So we um, you know We dabbled into a little bit of our curriculum. We really had short days For those wednesday thursday and friday We were done school like about maybe 10 11 o'clock because we wasn't doing like our full routine But my kiddos they are craving back for our like regular routine to be back and like some more normalcy While the christmas decorations and everything like that is put away the holidays are you know, officially over I'm so sad But um, I am ready to kind of get back into the groove you guys of like homeschool in our routine So, um, we're gonna go in full force this week. I'm a little bit nervous you guys Because especially like that first week back it is always like the worst So I did my mail plan in this week you guys actually went grocery shopping a little bit earlier today Before filming this video because I definitely know um, I need to be prepared for that because You know at the end of our homeschooling days like I'm not trying to think about cooking or anything like that So, you know, I put all my ducks in a row. I'm trying to be you know Good when it comes to like all the other things in my household too So, um, you guys I'm just going to take you with me as I plan like our homeschooling week You guys I really have been loving like my school nest planner and everything like that I really have been like documenting like our homeschool journey in this school nest planner and um It really has been fun for me to use a planner because this is my first official year using like a planner throughout our whole Homeschooling year and it's so great to be able to like look back at all the things that we did I love like the reflections page that's in here and I really have been like utilizing that and reflecting on our homeschool each week and um I wrote down some end of the year reflections too as we ended off our first semester of some like goals That I do want to attain in our homeschool this second semester Um, but other than that you guys we're going to go ahead and get on into this thing And I'm just going to plan out my first week back at homeschool Okay, you guys I'm actually going to start off our planning by planning out math and as you guys know We're using sacks and math and right now brielle is actually on lesson number She's on lesson number 43. She made a mistake on uh friday and she actually did lesson number 44 Uh, but that's okay. She's just gonna you know Go back to 43 where she's at and then from 43 we will go to um Lesson number 45 And then after 45, I believe she's has a test so in this little notebook right here you guys I just highlight um When we are up on a test. So yeah, so test number eight. We have to take it after Uh lesson number 45. So she's going to have a test. I believe on wednesday So I already have her test forms right here for her to go So what I will do is when we are going over um her plan for the week and I'm allowing her to fill out her agenda She just knows to go in this binder to get her test for wednesday. So that's lesson 43 she's going to be doing So 43 She already did 44. She's going to be doing 45 Okay, what else we have 40 the test less than 46 And then she's also going to be doing Less than 47 on friday. So she's going to be doing circumference. So um, I went ahead on our math shelf and our little supplies And I got her compass Uh, so she can have this uh because it looks like she's going to be using this So I want to make sure I go ahead and put this inside of her Box on her desk. So she knows she needs her compass for her circumference And then I also she where she's going to be doing some decimals and percentages So I went ahead and I have like her manipulatives that she does use when she's doing like decimals fractions And percentages I'm going to go ahead and put these out on her desk because I know she's going to use these for math As far as the instruction goes we do utilize nicole the math lady for all of her teaching So I don't have to teach it and now you guys I don't have to grade her work anymore because She does nicole the math lady's online grading. So, uh, now that I have her test forms all copied and ready to go in this folder I have her math manipulative. She's going to be using that's all i'm going to do as far as planning out for math Okay, you guys as far as like our spelling grammar vocabulary Handwriting all of those things are like open and go. I really don't have to plan them All I have to do is say bridge is do the next page the next lesson But as far as iew for our writing curriculum, I do make sure I do Look ahead and I plan for this. I do want to reuse this, uh with my younger kiddos So what I have been doing is just making copies for beryal to use instead of her writing on the originals So I'm able to utilize this again in our homeschool So yeah, so all I have to do is just make copies of the upcoming week This right here you guys is like the iew's adapted schedule. They're 30 week adapted schedule And we are at the halfway point. So right here This is where we're coming at. We're on unit number 13 It's 24 units in this program and you guys in my last video when I did my mid-year curriculum update for beryal A lot of you guys was asking how I schedule out iew and you guys I don't schedule this out at all I just went on iew's website. Um when you purchase this uh iew they do give you like downloadable links And this is the 30 week adapted downloadable link that I just printed off and you guys I just followed it to the t and that's just kind of like how I've been doing this program So, uh, yeah, so right here again, we are going to be on this week So her source text is going to be from the camo and the tent. She's going to be writing a three paragraph essay She has to work on quality adjectives and she has some new ban words, which is going to be good and bad This right here is like a suggested literature for us to read What is this alexander and the terrible horrible? No good very bad day. I actually have that picture book We might read it. We might not most of the time I kind of skip out the suggested literature Suggestions and I just stick to the meat of this curriculum. So, um, I do have this book on my shelf So it just depends. So all I have to do you guys is just come in here and let's see I have my tab So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to make copies of all the things she needs So she's going to need this one Right here. She's going to need her new ban words and then this is the checklist That we're going to use for this week's iew But other than that other than me just making copies. This is pretty much ready to go for us Again, she watches the video lessons held by andrew pudawa So i'm going to go ahead and put this aside because I know I need to make copies for My younger daughter as well my four year old So i'm going to put this to a side and i'm going to keep on going as far as planning for bria Okay, you guys for science. We have been utilizing gods design for heaven and earth for our science We are actually on our universe part, but you guys i'm not going to lie As much as I love gods design for heaven and earth I really have been finding especially for um space that we're doing I really have been kind of like going off on my own like really uh Kind of creating this science union all on my own. Um, so I really have been utilizing a lot of um Videos and things like that online about space and we've really been utilizing our space or our decay space Encyclopedia, so I think um since we're at the portion where we're going to break down each of the planets I think i'm going to kind of like just use this decay Encyclopedia and kind of continue to like do this all on my own while I love the format of this I'm kind of finding that i'm liking piecing our science together all on our own and um again Like I said, we are on this uh unit four where we're going to go over to planets and then we're going to talk About the space race I really feel like I can do those things All on my own just by using the decay encyclopedia and us watching youtube videos like we have been before This right here is a um teachers pay teachers um little flip book that i'm going to have brielle Do as we go on um talking about each of the planets and she's going to write like some interesting facts Or whatever stood out to her in this little flap book and I think she's really really going to enjoy this I'm going to try my best to find the teachers pay teachers and link this if you guys are doing space But um, I went ahead and I put this uh template together for her already to go So um our first planet we're going to be talking about is mercury So i'm just going to like go in here and um, I probably should tab at you guys Where mercury is that and we will kind of just uh go from there and talk about our first planet So we do science twice a week. So um, I guess we will just be doing the planets mercury and venus when we uh go into our Science so i'm kind of excited as i'm kind of like doing this all on my own Using teachers pay teachers in my encyclopedia and kind of like freeform in this science um, we are going to start talking about a person in uh as far as like space to space race And I think we're going to go ahead and start off by talking about may jimson This actually is a free unit from the walked off way and I went ahead and I printed it off So brielle's going to be doing like a biography about her and we're going to be doing a timeline of her life I and this right here is another thing. I thought it was cool where brielle can compare and contrast Herself to may jimson some of the things they have similar and the differences So these are just some of the templates from the unit that I stood out to me as far as that I went to a library you guys and um I did check out a few books. Some of the other books that I have reserved They're not ready just yet But the one that was ready was uh this book right here may jimson I had to get this book which is may among the stars and I know this one might be a little bit young for brielle But I think it'll be cool to like incorporate my toddlers in this unit as much as they can and kind of like read this book I thought it was so cute. Um, so uh, yeah This will kind of be a fun one for us to sit down and I read together Since we're going to be talking about may jimson Something that I already had on my shelf was uh this book little leaders bold women in black history And they do have a section where they're talking about may jimson So hopefully this will kind of help us fill out the bibliography and the timeline But I do have two other like chapter books about may jimson that I reserved at the library that we can continue to use So hopefully they will be ready sometime next week But if not, I do have some books for us to like kind of start off our unit So that is my plan this week for science as far as us talking about may jimson Hopefully we'll get this done in like the next two weeks So um, we're going to talk about her and I think after her we're going to go ahead and talk about um All of the other women that impacted the space race and you guys I'm so excited We're going to watch hidden figures after this. So we will begin to use this book. Um as we finish off talking about may jimson So I'm really really excited. Um, and this is kind of like what I have planned to finish off like all of our um space So hopefully I can kind of like pull this unit together And I'm really really excited by doing this all on my own and kind of getting a feel of creating a unit study by myself Okay, you guys this right here is our current read aloud that we're going to be starting on Monday Which is called planet earth is blue and I figure this will be a really fun read aloud for us to read I know we probably won't have this finished by the time we finish our space unit But um, I love incorporating like fun read alouds We have been utilized in audible and one thing I really have been enjoying about this book is that this book is actually A really powerful story about an extraordinary girl who has autism and her dream of going to space So I'm so excited about this book. I already saved it on my audible so uh when we do read books like this beryl follows along And uh, we listen to it on audible that way and sometimes um, and she's really into it and she wants to read it I allow her to read it as well. So this is going to be our read aloud Starting off and I'm so so so excited. Okay, you guys now for history as far as planning goes I went ahead and I put our notebooking pages that we're going to be doing for a river of voices from blossoming root So our main reference book we're going to be reading for this lesson is going to be A thousand and one things everyone should know about african-american history Our read aloud that we're starting in this unit is in zinga warrior queen of matimbah angolia africa 1595 hopefully I pronounced that right So this looks like a really really cool read aloud. So as you guys can see we are actually about to start talking about uh From africa to virginia is uh the lesson that we're going over So we're going to be briefly talking about the first african-americans That were uh that came over from africa during the trance at glantic slave trade So we're getting in pretty deep In a river of voices, uh, but i'm totally prepared for it and I have all of the books and the literature we're going to be using We have our journaling page that briel is going to be doing where she is going to be writing what she learned about in zenda In zenda, I believe that's how you pronounce it and i'm really really excited So that is going to be her uh written portion for a river of voices this week and then she does have some mapping um What we have been doing as far as our history goes is that A briel actually has been documenting everything in her school nest history notebook And i'm going to share with you guys just some of the pages that she has been doing This is actually the last page that she did from a river of voices where she did some copy work from the last Read aloud book that we read which was a lion to guard us and then she had a notebook in assignment where she had to notebook Um what she thought would be the hardest part about living in an early english american colony We found some pictures on the internet and she pasted them and I feel like this came out pretty pretty good Okay, you guys we are actually doing two history curriculums this year We are actually also doing heart and soul by heritage mom pack And we do a river of voices twice a week and then we do heart and soul on our fun fridays You guys like I definitely have to film a fun friday So you guys can kind of get a glimpse of what we do on fridays But we really have been enjoying our african-american history This right here is going to be our picture book that we're going to be reading this week with um Heart and soul. So what is this crossing bachito? I believe that's how you pronounce it So I already have this book on my shelf. We're actually going to be starting a new chapter book which is actually stella by starlight and we're going to be reading chapter one and chapter two And this link right here has a poetry Uh piece that we're going to be reading as well So um our african-american history is going so so well It's so much fun and it's so crazy how well these two curriculums have been like meshing well together So we really have been enjoying both of these. So um, I'm excited So we have two days of a river of voices ready. I got all the books on my bookshelf for heart and soul So all I have to do is put all of the chapter books We're going to be reading on our homeschool card. So you guys I really think this is it for briel So yeah, I'm really really excited you guys about all of our history lineup And I know it seems like a lot, but if you want to see like us doing a lesson of a river of voices Um, I definitely already have a video on my channel and you can kind of see how simple it is And I do want to film you guys as doing heart and soul because it's just as simple and it's a really really fun history curriculum as well All right, you guys and now as far as my planning for my youngest daughter or not my youngest daughter My middle daughter leia who is four We are doing kindergarten math with confidence with her and you guys we are on week number two We actually went up to lesson number Three so lesson two point three so in week two we was on day three But since we had some time before uh since we picked up this curriculum What i'm going to do is i'm going to go ahead and start her back from the beginning of the week number two So, um, I don't think she will mind. She really really enjoys this curriculum and the lessons are very short and sweet Even though she has already done the student pages for these lessons I don't think it will hurt us to repeat them So she can kind of get back into the flow of kindergarten math with confidence since we're so early on So you guys for this week our math picture book is um Zero is the leaves on trees and you guys i'm not gonna lie We already have read this book several times because when I picked it up from the library She looked at it and she really really enjoyed it. So this just goes over the concept of teaching the kiddos What zero actually means so we're going to continue to read this book And even though it only has a schedule to read this book on friday Leia loves to read the math books all week long and I kind of incorporated in her read aloud time as well So we're going to be reading this math book this week So as far as kindergarten math with confidence the only thing that I had to do Was I had to make like flashcards because we're going to be playing um store So I went ahead and made all the flashcards that I need on these just simple index cards Here is like my math box that I have for us Things that I use when we're doing a kindergarten math with confidence I have our 10 frame that are already laminated. So I have those ready to go and since we're going to be doing store I went ahead and I put some um pennies and dimes that I had like in our piggy banks already around the house And not pennies and dimes pennies and nickels is what we're going to be talking about So I have pennies and nickels already in here ready to go For us when we get to that lesson again. So as far as leia math is already planned out So i'm really really excited to kick back into math with her as well Um, we also are going to be doing our all about reading pre-reading I do want to make some copies of the next letters that we're going to be doing in our Letter crafts that we're going to be doing so i'm going to go ahead and tear out the next letters We're going to be doing and make a copy and then also to the next letters. We're going to be doing um in her um letter book I believe I already have l and m downstairs So I just have to get in and oh Copied for her just because I like to have four days Already ready to go because we do the all about reading pre-reading four days a week And then she does her math four days a week as well. So um, I'm really really excited for leia We actually already added in um another math curriculum you guys and I'm going to talk about that in a separate video Um, just because we're kind of getting our feet still wet with it But um, she really really loves math and um, we have been enjoying like her lineup So this is all I'm going to be doing this week with leia. I'm going to keep it simple I'm also going to be doing handwriting with her as well So I'm going to go ahead you guys and make these copies that I needs and go ahead and start Putting all this stuff on my homeschooling card Okay, you guys the last thing I have to do is go ahead and fill out my school next planner I really really love this planner you guys the weeks are laid out so so so simple So um, all I'm going to do is um, just go ahead and write out like the subject and um Like math language art science all that type of jazz because I actually don't fill out what we do until we actually do it So I actually utilize this as a reverse plan. So I really really love this template So I'm just going to go ahead and like I did in my other planning video Is I'm going to go ahead and write across like our subjects and write across like the kiddos and how I like to set up my weekly plan and that is pretty much it as far as like My planning of this week you guys and um, yeah, let me go ahead and get into filling out my actual planner Hey you guys before I go here is a quick look of my planner and how I'm starting off this next week So what I did was since we did some work in december Um, I didn't want to use a whole week So I just wrote down like what we did in december and then what we also did Our first week coming back to school just so I can make note of that But I do need to come back and fill out like our month my month for january I do want to write my goals that I have for this month And um, this is my weekly reflections page and as I showed you guys a little bit earlier Here goes like one of my reflections pages and this is like how it looks at the end of the week where I will like Take pictures of the kiddos. So um, hopefully I will have some reflections for this week And this is the page you guys just see me fill out where I Go ahead and I pre write all the things so you can kind of get an idea of how we actually do all the things So we're going to start off our week doing our Science space for monday and tuesday of river of voices for uh, what is this wednesday and thursday? And then heart and soul for friday and as you can guys can see friday is really light I have our reading detective our spelling tests our heart and soul and then math I didn't get a chance you guys to finish like filling out the whole thing because My kiddos are calling me But this is how I would do leah's uh, this right here is kenny garth math with confidence All about reading pre reading handwriting without tears now kind of go on from there on friday She has speech therapy which is perfect So i'm really only working with her four days a week and then after speech therapy on friday She's pretty much done and speech therapy for a lay.

So you guys as always, thank you so much for watching today's video I hope you enjoy and I look forward to seeing everybody in my next one. Bye


It's immoral to serve in an immoral military, notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. Deciding to enter the military is only morally justifiable if your country's military is used in a moral and just way. There's a weird power-serving taboo against saying this, which is born of the idea that it's more important to protect the feelings of our troops than to discourage people from enlisting in the most murderous war machine on Earth. But it's true. This doesn't mean that those military personnel are more responsible for the depravities they help enact than the government officials who sent them there. And it doesn't mean they are irredeemably evil. It just means they're doing something immoral. We all do immoral things and make bad decisions from time to time. All it means is they need to course-correct. Yes, many of those who enlist in the military are just doing what they feel they need to do to make some money in an unjust system. But it's very revealing that people don't tend to extend this same charitable sympathy to those who turn to crime out of the desperation of poverty. Most people in prison are guilty of far less egregious offenses than the things U.S. and allied military personnel are routinely or ordered to do because they don't commit crimes at the behest of a powerful government. To be sure, those who join the military are pummeled with lies and propaganda by the culture they grew up in about what their military is and what it does. But many people who commit crimes are pummeled with false narratives and false promises by the people around them as well. That's exactly how joining a gang tends to work, for example. Those who Charles Manson manipulated into committing murder weren't exonerated just because they were manipulated. Enlistment is a mitigating factor in assessing morality, but it doesn't prevent military service from being immoral any more than it prevents mafia murders from being immoral. Unless you live in a nation which uses its military solely to protect its own borders and never to abuse its own citizenry, then if you choose to enlist, you are doing something immoral. The U.S. Alliance is literally always at war overseas, and enlistment is therefore never moral. I guess it could even be theoretically possible for a military to always be at war overseas and still be moral if it were fighting for moral reasons. There is no moral argument to be made that the U.S. Alliance does this, though. It wages wars of aggression for power and profit. Refusing to acknowledge that it's immoral to serve in an immoral military serves no one but military recruiters, war profiteers, and the imperialists in Washington, D.C. and Virginia. Make this clear as a society so that people can begin course-correcting away from that abusive path. They keep making comparisons to World War II in order to groom us for World War III. We don't actually need to accept that the world's major powers are going to be engaging in increasingly dangerous brinkmanship with each other throughout the foreseeable future. Empire propagandists keep telling us we need to lay back and accept this, but we don't. This trajectory toward war in nuclear holocaust is being driven by people within the U.S. government and its allies, and there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them. We can turn this ship away from the iceberg anytime we wish to. We've just got wanted enough. Here's a tweet by the Associated Press.  People who get really into 9-11 truth or the JFK assassination often talk about how America would wake up if everyone could just really grasp what their government did. But it's important to emphasize that this is equally true of the things the U.S. is undisputably publicly known to have done recently in places like Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, etc. Really undisputed public facts about things the U.S. has done since 9-11 are far more evil than just assassinating a U.S. president or killing a few thousand Americans in a false flag terror attack. They killed millions of people since 9-11 in wars for power and profit, right out in the open on public record. Really the problem isn't getting information to Americans about the evil things their government has done, or even getting them to see it and grasp it. It's getting them to see it deeply enough and consider it sincerely enough that it blasts through all the psychological compartmentalization and propaganda-induced conditioning that's been holding their worldview together. That's a big part of what I try to do here. I don't do any groundbreaking investigative journalism. I don't break any stories. I just try to find ways to help people truly see the empire for what it is with fresh eyes in such a way that it transmutes their worldview. The more we learn about psychology and sociology, the more undeniable it becomes that the question of whether or not you'll lead a happy and abundant life ultimately boils down to luck of the draw, but our systems don't reflect this.  It's profoundly cruel, and at this point it's completely unscientific.  But instead many people jam their heads up their asses and insist everything they have is the result of hard work and virtue. Human predisposition toward egotism causes us to lose our compassion for those who did nothing other than have less luck than ourselves, solely because of what it would mean for us and our cozy little me stories. We've still got a lot to learn, and more importantly our systems still haven't caught up to what we've learned already. It's all a process of growing and becoming a conscious species, but God it's excruciating to watch sometimes.


We'll start with the Yankees. Now six games in front of the Rays in the AL East. And we have been getting call after call from fans, hoping that there's still a pitcher out there for the Yankees to get a move for them to make. Do you expect the Yankees to make any sort of big move before the trade deadline? I think they're going to make a move. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a big move. The players they have now are good enough to win the World Series. They need one more starting pitcher. They need a quality guy, Marcus Strowman, and a level above that, Madison Bubmgart or something of that ilk. And I think we put them in the best position to win the American League pennant. And with some of the issues that the Dodgers are having in their late, you know, in their bullpen, puts them in a little bit of a precarious spot, even though they are really good. So I think the Yankees, look at this, they have won the World Series in a while. We need one more starting pitcher. And I think they're in a position to go get one of those guys. Yeah, but Tim, I mean, the name that we keep hearing here in New York, and of course we've heard Scherzer, but that would be, I mean, unrealistic at this point, is Madison Bubmgartner. I mean, the Yankees, that's out of their control though, isn't it, regardless of the offer that they make, it's going to be ultimately up to Madison Bubmgartner where he decides he wants to go, no? Yes, and it's up to the Giants whether they want to move it. And miraculously, the Giants somehow played themselves back into playoff contention in the National League where everyone in playoff contention. So I still think Bubmgartner's gonna get moved, but I'm not positive anymore because of the way the Giants have played, and you're right, he controls all sorts of things, and their general manager is in a position for anxiety where he knows he's got a big piece here, and he's not gonna rest until he gets exactly what he wants in return, and if he doesn't get it, he's not gonna move him, and if they're in this thing, they're gonna keep him. So a lot of things have changed in the last three weeks. Tim Kirchner joins us here on the show. Tim, what is the appetite of the New York Yankees? Like how seriously are they considering trading their most valuable assets for a starting pitcher at the deadline? Well, they've made it kind of clear that Clint Frazier isn't going anywhere, but I refuse to believe that if they can get the one last piece, and he is the piece that can get it, I think they should and will move him, but again, that's why general managers get paid what they get paid, because they make these decisions at this time of year. I just think the Yankees are in a spot much like the Dodgers are, when you're that big, you're payroll that high, and expectations that high, that it's just not good enough to tear together their division, win 105 games, and not win the World Series. So that's why I think the Yankees are serious about doing something here. Brian Cashman is a very smart guy, and he's not gonna give up everything he's built here just to get one guy who might or might not make a difference.
