Four years running, four incredible successes. This year's Marine Week was hosted in Cleveland, where the Marines added to the event's already stellar reputation built from previous years in Chicago, Boston and St. Louis. And they did it while bringing in record-breaking crowds. More than 80,000 people alone attended the weekend's Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration. Our mission has been successfully completed. Inside of seven days, 700-plus Marines connected with the good people of Cleveland, thank you for your steadfast support. We know Cleveland now has a greater knowledge of our rich history and our tradition and why the Corps is America's expeditionary force and readiness. Many more Clevelanders visited the various displays around the city throughout the week. Marines gave Osprey rides, restored city parks, and painted a mural to name a few, all done in the spirit of community, country, and core. They also teamed up with local police to guard the traveling Vietnam War Memorial Wall. Twenty-one of the 36 guardsmen once wore the nation's uniform. You know, service is a great calling, but it's not for everyone. But whoever it's for, they always leave the situation or the people that they've served in a better situation than when they found it. And that's what I believe Marine Corps and all of our members of the armed forces do for our nation. Serving local communities is what Marine Week is all about, leaving citizens with fresh perspectives on the men, women, and capabilities of the Marine Corps, while celebrating 236 years of service in only seven days. From Marine Week Cleveland, I'm Sergeant Todd Hunter.

Hello friends, how are we doing? It is time finally for my September wrap up. I had to delay this because I had to push back my last vlog of the month because I was sick. So then I only just posted that and that made up like half the books I read in September. So we're finally going to chat about my September reading. It's a very interesting month because as you might be able to tell about the title, this is the most books I've ever read in the month. Joint. Joint with I think like March of this year or something but I read 17 books in September which is kind of crazy. Could you do everything that I do in a day? That is kind of mad. 17 books in a month. I don't usually average that. I usually sit around until like 12, 13 but we read 17. I'm probably not going to read as many in October now because I kind of get burnt out after a big month although I have got to read a lot of books in October, November and December still. So maybe I will still read loads. But yeah, so we read a lot but as we're going to see I don't have a ton of like disappointment surprises and hits which is the structure of my wrap ups to talk about because like most of the books I read were 3.5 or 4 stars. Like almost all of them. When we go through all the books I read, yeah most of them were 4 or 3.5. So it was like a very one note reading month for me. I had a few standouts and a few you know standouts for the wrong reasons but most of the books were very middle of the road. Well, good, good middle of the road. Above middle of the road. Like 2 thirds up the road. So if you're new here, I do my wrap ups, I do reading stats first because I love statistics, I love talking about statistics, I love comparing months, I just love statistics. Okay, I love them. I love them. And then we go through all the books I read with just the rating that I gave them and then we talk more in depth about my disappointment, surprise and hits because almost all of these books you can find me talking about somewhere. Most of them are in vlogs, reading vlogs on my channel and I'll link all of those down below. And I think one, one isn't on my channel but that was my Patreon Book Cup pick so I have got a whole discussion live show and reading vlog for that over there.  So as I said, I read 17 books in September. The amount of pages was 4,478. How does that compare actually to the other month that I read 17? I read 4,458. Oh my god I read 20 more pages! In terms of pages per day that works out at 149 which is crazy. I mean I always say I don't do that every day. I will read like 20 pages one day and I'll read 200 the next. I don't have a very like steady reading speed. I don't feel like, I feel like I'm very up and down. That's why I don't track the amount of pages I read every day because I just think, oh that would like stress me out seeing the differences. The average pages per book was 263 which I feel like isn't bad. I read a few shorter books but also I read quite a few like longer books as well so it kind of averaged out. My average rating was a 3.76 which is pretty much on par. I've been averaging like a 3.63.7 for most of this year especially since like I had higher ratings in like January, February, March, April but then the rest of the year I've been kind of hovering around that rating so it's pretty standard for me and the average time a book had spent on my TBR was 11 months. We had some that I bought and read straight away and we had some that had been there for like three years. Okay let's get into the charts.  Are you ready? Look at my genre distribution for the month. I love it. It makes me so happy. But she's beautiful. Right. But she's beautiful. It makes me so happy when I read this wide array of genres. I mean you guys, I just love it. I love reading a mix of genres. I find that's what really helps me read a lot is when I'm really spicing it up and adding a bit of variety. Of course I did do the vlog which would which I'll link down below. I just posted the one I had to delay where I read seven genres in seven days. I had to read a different genre in each in each day. So of course that helped but I was still a lot of variety in the rest of the month so I read two classics. I'm amazed by you. And I wish for you to know I just read another classic for October. Who is she? Oh my god. I'm going to be so excited to see how many classics I've read at the end of the year. Actually so I see how many I've read this year so far. Why not? I've read five classics guys. Can't remember the time I read five classics in a year. I read one contemporary, three fantasy, one historical, two horror, one magical realism, two mystery, one non-fiction, one romance, one sci-fi and two thrillers. Oh what a good mix. That is that makes me really happy. In terms of rating, I warned you for this. We've got one 2.5, one 3, five 3.5s, nine 4s and one 5. Oh my god. It's kind of crazy. I mean I'm happy to have a lot of four stars but like it's kind of crazy how just I also do like a bit of variation though. Do you know what I mean? In a month I'd like to have had you know one or two more of those could have been five stars and none of those fours were like pushing for 4.5s. They were all fours. Do you know what I mean? They weren't pushing 4.5 upwards so I would like a little bit you know a little bit better on the end of the bell curve and well bell curves don't work like that they but okay whatever. I don't even like maybe another two. I know that sounds you know against what you would like but I like a bit of variation. Don't say that. Mona don't ever say that. In terms of how I read the books I read three audiobooks, eight physical and six mixture where I had both the audiobook and physical. It's a pretty pretty standard split for me. In terms of audience 15 were adult and two were YA. This year I mean this is just further compounds the fact that this year has really sorry my shirt is just annoying me at the armpit. Okay I haven't worn this shirt in a while. There's just further compounds the fact to me that I don't read a lot of YA anymore. I don't read a lot of YA. I don't read a lot of YA. I don't read a lot of YA anymore. Just a couple years ago that would have been 50-50. I used to read so much more YA but I've just stopped and that's okay. In terms of format I read two graphic novels, ten novels, two novellas, two short stories and one anthology. In terms of series stats I read one companion book, three they're part of a series, 11 that were stand-alones and one first in a series. Okay that's not bad. I made progress in three series this month and I only started one more. What did I start? What series did I start? Who wouldn't let me start a series this month? Oh her magic's wrong. Okay all right we'll allow that one. In terms of where the books I read were from, two were from Audible, three were gifted, ten I'd bought myself and two were from Script. In terms of author stats, four were debuts, six were authors I'd read from before and seven were new to me. Okay let's get into all the books I read this month with their ratings. First I read everything I never told you by Celeste Inge and I gave this four stars. Hellbent by Lee Bardugo which I gave four stars. You're gonna see a pattern throughout this. The Last Housewife by Ashley Winstead which I gave three stars. Girl in the Wolves by AJ Gnise which I gave four stars. Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson which I gave five stars. Educated by Tara Westover which I gave four stars. The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by Sylva Monagassia which I gave three point five stars. A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle which I gave four stars. The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kirsten White which I gave two point five stars. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson which I gave three point five stars. The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alex E. Harrow which I gave four stars. Saga Volume 2 by Brian Cavan and Fiona Staples which I gave four stars. The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxar which I gave three point five stars. Before the Coffee Gets Cold Tales from the Cafe by Toshikazu Kawaguchi which I gave four stars. The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor Laval which I gave three point five stars. The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Osatag which I gave three point five stars. And The Chateau by Jacqueline Goldis which I gave four stars. I warned you guys it was a lot of the same ratings. Okay let's get into my disappointments of the month and then we'll we'll pick it up in terms of positivity towards the end. So my lowest rated book of the month was The Dark Descent by Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kirsten White. I gave this a two point five. This all you to know is like it's a retelling of Frankenstein following Elizabeth Frankenstein who is Victor Frankenstein's wife essentially and it's a YA retelling of that and this just I thought was very boring. I'm sorry and then let it be known that the next day I was in Waterstones in London and I did buy Mr Magic by Kirsten White but it's a whole different story. I mean I think I love this like that's to how my brain works. Women's stories matter yeah they just matter. My biggest problem with this is a problem I have with a lot of retellings where it meets the beats of the original story to this book's detriment. I have discovered I like fanfic retellings where you're taking the characters, you are taking some themes of the novel or like whatever but like telling it in a new way. I don't like retellings that stick so closely to like this happen and this happen and then this happen and this happen just through a new character's point of view because I just feel like it I can feel that the author hasn't come up with that from their brain. I'm like banging my leg down. I can just feel it. I can feel it in the page that like the author is following a guide rather than something that's sprung up from their own mind and often characters will do things. This isn't just exclusive to this but characters will do things and act in certain ways or react to stuff in ways that then doesn't feel authentic to the character that has been built up in that book because they've got to react that way for them the next event to happen as it should. So that makes sense and I've just found I don't like that. I love the idea of retellings. I will keep reading them but I'm just finding again and again with like Greek myth retellings or I felt like the Suicaiki that there's something about it following a predestined plot even if it's being told in a new way that I don't vibe with. I think I vibe more with the retellings that are a bit more of a remix. You know I'm thinking of stuff I want to read like Pride and Premeditation that is a Pride and Prejudice retelling but like they're running like a law firm and solving murders together. Like that is more my speed I think of the kind of retellings I enjoy and I'm actually gonna I think experiment with this a bit next year and do a series where I read a classic and then read a retelling just one retelling but like really closely compare the two because I'm now in my classics era if you didn't know I will talk about that more in my October wrap up because I've already got a book I need to talk to you about but I'm now in my classics era and I want to explore this relationship that I have with retellings. So yeah I think part of this is the is me but I also think also it could have got I mean it is YA but it could have got a bit dark I think it could have got a bit I don't know it is quite dark I think the atmosphere was done really well in it but I don't know just didn't quite work for me and then I would say my biggest disappointment this was absolutely a five star prediction and I gave it three and that is a generous three it's maybe more of a 2.75 I just don't deal in like quarter decimals and I didn't feel like I could quite give it a 2.5 or maybe it kind of is and that is The Last Housewife by Ashley Winstead I was so sad this was a five star five star five star five star prediction for me and we just didn't get that. I'm just gonna shut down and I don't want to talk about it. It's a very serious thriller right it's dealing with very sensitive topics I'm gonna say that from the jump so we are following a character who was in kind of like a sex cult as a teenager and then one of her friends who was also in that dies and she wants to investigate that and does like this podcast with this guy trying to investigate that and there's also like a you know sex cult like in the kind of present day as well I just don't want to get dimmed in one time too much if I say it to the side of my mouth maybe YouTube won't know. My problem with this is that if you're gonna deal with topics as sensitive as this I don't think Ashley Winstead didn't have care in her treatment of this but it didn't go quite far enough for me and I feel like there is so much commentary that could be had around the dynamic I don't want to get into too much because I don't want to spoil stuff I'm trying to talk around stuff but there's so much that could be said around the dynamics examined in this book and for me the commentary always felt very surface level it felt like we never got into depth of anything and also it was freaking stupid guys it was stupid the amount of times there is this organization shall we say that is supposed to be very powerful in this book that she is kind of infiltrating and like they're so powerful and every time it's like right if you do that again and you're like dead or whatever she just keeps like going in getting information and running away and they know she is and like there's no repercussions it's infuriating but for me it was really the I think this didn't yeah go into depth of the topics that it was covering enough and was kind of like a bit of a scatterbained scatterbrained thriller instead and didn't feel I don't know I just didn't like it I didn't like it it really missed the mark for me which I'm sad about because I wanted to love this so much but it just didn't it didn't it didn't do it for me I was really disappointed I think the writing was still okay I didn't love the character I thought the podcast element was just put in because everyone loves a podcast in their books nowadays and everyone's doing it if you're gonna do podcasts do you freaking podcast yawning sloppy lazy I know for a fact I didn't listen to the audiobook but I know that the it doesn't have multiple voice actors if you can do a podcast with multiple just to have multiple voice actors god it's like the bare minimum at this point that's not in the author's control probably that's in the publisher's control but like anyways moving on let's talk about my surprises of the month that's more positive okay my first surprise was a study in scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle now it's Sherlock right it's Sherlock I love many mysteries I thought I was gonna enjoy it but this was a four star but let it be known the first half of this is five star five star five star I'm incredibly excited to continue reading from Sherlock so studying scarlet it's the first ever Sherlock it's it's a kind of a short kind of an of course it's novella I think it's like a hundred and something pages when it's like you know as a as a physical book and the first half of it is Sherlock on meeting and like solving this case and then the second half we go to America to Utah and to follow some of the characters from the first half and it's a completely different tone that part was like a three stars kind of bored but that first half oh my god I was I'm getting passionate again I was so surprised by how much I loved Sherlock as a character and I was very surprised by Sherlock's character you know I've obviously I've consumed so much Sherlock like content like tv shows movies whatever over my time so there's like so many different interpretations of Sherlock out there and I was surprised by how much he actually aligned with like the craziness of the BBC Sherlock I thought that was like a strange adaptation but like I could really picture it and it felt so visceral and the mystery was interesting it was a very it was an interesting mystery because it's not one you're meant to solve as the reader but it's just so interesting to see like kind of the origins almost of the mystery genre and I just loved that experience so I'm very positive in the future I could end up giving Sherlock a five star I'm just gonna say that now I think me and Sherlock could have a five star in us I was kind of taken aback when I was reading it by how easy it easily understandable it was like I found like it was very accessible I was listening to the audiobook that Stephen Frye narrates he has like a whole collection he's like narrated every Sherlock book ever on audible and I felt like that could help because he's a very he's a very very good audiobook narrator like I can listen to anything that he narrates I think he's incredible but I was shocked by just how yeah accessible and like normal language it was and I just loved Sherlock so I was surprised I mean I knew I was gonna enjoy it but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it especially the first half of the book and then my other surprise I said in my vlog this is a very very very very very very tentative four star okay because not everyone has loved this and I can see the problems with it but I just had a fun time reading it and that is The Chateau by Jacqueline Goldis this is a new thriller that came out this year where we're following these group of girl friends who they're invited to one of their grandmother's chateau in France she's like uber rich and the grandmother gets brutally murdered and you're like what's going on I've heard very mixed things about this I just thought it was kind of fun I thought it was kind of like camp and a little bit silly and a little bit like you know a little bit over the top I really enjoyed this I loved the French setting it gave it a like you know I said it gave it like a sophisticated drama like I don't know I thought the twists were introduced really well at the beginning we had so many little hints of like something that's happening with this character like this character has a suitcase that's empty why do they have that this character is like oh I'm really mad at this one I'm gonna really make them pay but we don't know why and those twists for me were just revealed and and executed really really well I don't think it's the best thriller ever I think it is a little bit forgettable but I had a fun time when reading it and I was surprised by how much of a fun time I had when reading it and then my only hit of the month because like I said I would say all the four stars were like four stars they weren't if there was one four star that kind of stood out I would mention it but um we're in at four stars and then we had one five star and that was Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Gina Dawson I loved it it's witches oh god this is a kind of book that once you've read it to the end it's like god how do I give the synopsis so there's a secret coven of witches within there's like a coven within the government that like operate a secret there's magic and we're following this particularly this group of friends I mean we're friends in childhood but now we're kind of like some of them are in the governmental coven some of them are like living as witches in the countryside and so we're following them uh in their different lives and that's what I'm gonna say but I loved this I loved the writing of it it was funny it reminded me kind of of the humor in the Thursday matter club where it's very like Brit humor and like British references like we're talking about the Spice Girls I love us talking about the Spice Girls and I just loved the journey that this book went on and it deals with some topics that I don't want to spoil if you're going in but I thought it dealt with them with such care and such attention and like I hope that people who need to read this book and don't know about the topics it's gonna cover go into it kind of without knowing and end up reading it because I think it could really reach people who need to read it but I also just thought the witchiness I just if you're gonna give me witches give me watches I always say I thought the witchiness was done so well and I just loved it I had such a great time reading it and I'm very excited because I said I it's a five star but I said the one thing that I would want more from this is more how the witchy side of the government relates to the like mortal side of the government because I love politics and I thought that would be something that would be really interesting to examine and everyone's told me that the sequel does that so I'm really excited for the sequel I cannot recommend this enough it was such a standout for me and it did not disappoint I thought this was like another five star prediction and it really delivered it's a very very special book I love the characters in it I love the relationships examined in it it was it was great so there we have it that was my September wrap up let me know what you thought of any of the books I mentioned like I said I'll leave all the reading vlogs for this month linked down below if you wanted to check them out but thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you soon in another video


Top icebreaker for new TEFL teachers, two truths and a lie. This is a great activity for your very first lesson with a new class. Basically the students each write down three statements. Two statements are true but one of them is a lie. Next the students either present the statements to each other or to you. The other students or you must then guess which of the statements was the lie. It's a great activity to play with a new class because you can learn something about your students. For example, you can ask them to write down three statements about themselves and then find out which one is not true. At the same time you can also join in and tell your students three statements about you and they need to guess which one is a lie. This usually lightens the mood and your students can learn something about their classmates Thanks so much for watching. We are ITTT, the leading provider for TEFL and TSOL training courses.

Statistics and Excel bell curve. People wait example part number one. Get ready, taking a deep breath, holding it in for 10 seconds, looking forward to a smooth, soothing Excel. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's okay because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet. But if you do have access, three tabs down below. Example, practice blank. Example, in essence, answer key, practice tab, having pre-formatted cells so you could get to the heart of the practice problem. The blank tab, blank worksheet with just our practice data so we can practice formatting the cells within Excel as we work through the practice problem. If you don't have access to practice data, you could use resources such as Kaggle.com. You can also try to create your own data to practice with by going to the data tab up top, the analysis group and the data analysis tool that we saw in a prior presentation. If you don't have this analysis group, then you can go into the options and possibly add it as we saw in a prior presentation as well. Back to the home tab, down to the example tab to get an idea of what we will be doing. Our data is going to be related to weights of people. We also have heights if you want to practice with that as well, but we're focused on the weights this time measured in pounds. Now this will be similar to what we've seen in the past. There's two or a couple major differences however. One is going to be that we have a whole lot more data of weights and weights as you would imagine you would think that because it's something that's related to nature, people's weights, that it would follow a bell shape type of distribution. The more data that we have, the more likely that the actual example, if it conforms to a bell shape distribution, will stimulate a bell shape distribution. So that's one thing. We have a lot more data in this example than prior examples. We're also going to be building our graph over here and we're going to use a similar technique but slightly different in the technique to get this between column that we will then use to build our graph, trying to come up with some strategies that you might be able to build your graphs fairly quickly so that you can use them when you're working these practice problems. And we'll do a little bit more with the Z score calculations and formulas as well. All right, let's go to the blank tab and get started. I'm going to remove the Kaggle thing. I'm going to select the entire worksheet this time and format the data before we get started, selecting the triangle, right clicking on the worksheet, formatting the cells. I'm going to go to currency because I'm an accountant. That's where I like to go. I'm going to say negative numbers are bracketed and red and I'll keep the decimals for now. Let's go two decimals but no dollar signs. These are not dollars we're talking about. Now, if I say okay, obviously it trimmed up our data over here to just show the two decimals even though it had more than two decimals, right? Now, what I'm going to do is we could just hide the heights. I want to keep the heights there just because you might want to use those in practice in a similar method. You can do basically the same sample problem we're doing here but with the height stated if you want, but I don't need it right now. I'm going to go ahead and select columns. Let's first put a table around it and then I'll hide them possibly. Let's go up top, make this bold, home tab, font group, bold it and then I'll put my cursor somewhere in this group of numbers and go to the insert tab, tables group. I'm going to add a table to it. The dancing ants are doing their table creation dance. Looks kind of like a rain dance. It's hard to tell but you know it's different because obviously how would how would Excel know what to do if they did the same dance for everything? You know, spending his home tab, alignment, wrapping the text and I'm going to double click in here and just put some space so I can wrap the text with the spaces. Alright, and then I could just hide columns A and B because I'm not using those I'm going to put my cursor on a go over to be right click and hide them just hide it. Now note that if I was I was going to sort this data somehow possibly I had some blank cells in here where we didn't get the weights or we have some very high or low weights that don't look correct or something like that, then I might want to filter out those outliers that might not be correct depending on what I'm doing. If I was to do that, I would want my data on a separate tab because once I start filtering things, it'll collapse the rows. So but here I'm not going to do that. So I'm just going to keep my data on the same tab here and we'll do our normal calculation. So I'm going to make a skinny D skinny D. And then we're going to say sounds like a rapper's name or something skinny D skinny D's up, throwing down the base beat and doing some licks over it or something. Anyway, here's the mean equals the average tab. We're going to select our data. Now there's a lot of data. I'm going to select the data boom. And it's going to just pick up that entire table. If I go control shift down on this data, we're at 25,000 data points. So we have a lot more data control backspace. And then I'm going to say, All right, let's do the standard D. I'm just going to call it SD for the standard D. I'm going to say this equals ST. This is the population. So I'm going to pick up the population STD EV for the pop and the population, not your dad, the population, the pop.  And then we're going to say, Okay, and then the median, the median, the one in the middle, hit the one in the middle, we're going to say the median tab, picking that up. Boom. And then the mode might not always be as applicable if you didn't have a whole lot of data because that shows multiple if multiple items are being hit and because we're using fractions of pounds, then it would be less likely. But since we have a whole lot of data, the mode will probably be applicable here too. Let's say the mode single mode just one please. I don't need like a whole bunch of modes. Boom. And okay, so now I can see that the mean is pretty close to the median, which is an indication that this group of data follows somewhat closely to the bell curve. And the mode is also there. Remember, the mode's kind of kind of tricky. Because if you didn't have a whole lot of data, the mode, that might not even have a mode because you have percent because you have these fractions of the measuring in this case of pounds, which means that you might not have a lot of duplicates. Whereas if you rounded them to a pound, it's more likely that the mode is going to be more applicable. But again, we have so much data right now that the mode will work. So now I'm going to say, All right, I'm going to graph this thing out. And so I'm going to make a bell curve because it looks like a bell curve would work. Before I do that, let's actually graph. Let's look at this data in terms of a histogram. If I select the entire thing, I'll just select the data. I just select the data. Then I'm going to go into the insert and then charts and just make a histogram say what does this thing look like from a histogram standpoint where we have the groups on the bottom and then and then how many and this is the buckets, the buckets on the bottom and how many of these numbers which there's a whole lot of them fall into each bucket. Now the point here is that this time we came up with something that looks a lot more like a bell curve than some of our prior examples due to the fact that we have a whole lot of data.


My partner and I are postal inspectors, which means we investigate any crime that involves the mail. Today, that means doing a stakeout on a low-life accountant. He works for an investment firm that's really just a front for a complicated fraud scam. They've been ripping people off to the $2,000s. He's got no clue what that kind of financial loss means to his victims. He never gets to see that side of the story. But I do. Do you have any luck flipping this guy? No, he dumbed me up on me. So they kept him in the dark if I don't business operated. Certainly living the high life for a CPA. Not anymore. Goddard. Inspector Goddard. This is Andrea Beshears with News 12. Did I catch you at a bad time? Actually, Andrea, I got nothing but time. What's up? We're doing a special on fraud for sweeps, and we need some first-person perspective on the crimes. You know, talk to victims and hear their stories. Do you think you could help us out? Yeah, it sounds good to me. I could stop a lot of this stuff if more people were aware of it. Hey, you know Carla Aran, our victim witness coordinator? We were on this pastor, and I'll get back to you later this week. Financial crime attacks its victims at their core. Whenever someone loses control of their money or their identity, they often also lose their critical sense of security. They doubt their own judgment, and many suffer depressive episodes after the crime. My job is to help people rebuild not only their financial security, but their lives. Mr. and Ms. Patterson, hi. Thanks so much for coming in. Listen, please don't be nervous. If you stumble or you're not happy with what you say, we can always shoot it again, OK? You ready to get started? Have a seat. It's been my studio open as of in five. Tonight on News 12, we continue our special series on male fraud, Return to Cinder. Three years ago, Matt and Lisa Patterson were the victims of identity theft, along with hundreds of other victims in the area. They had their lives turned upside down by two young criminals. Lisa, how did you find out that there was a problem? We were trying to buy a new house, and our real estate agent called and said our loan would not be approved. That we had outstanding bills on our credit cards, and we even had a loan that we had defaulted on. Matt, do you remember how you felt that morning? Oh, it was awful. Your first response is that it's a mistake. It's just an error. And it sinks in, and you feel angry, powerless. We didn't get the house. But we were actually lucky. The postal inspector's had a specialist to work with the victims, and she explained what steps we needed to take to repair our credit report. She helped us with letters and affidavits and really walked us through the whole process. She called my boss to explain why I'd have to miss work to appear at the trial. She even helped us with the victim impact statement for the judge to read before sentencing those two men. Do you think you can handle things for a while? Sure. What's up? I think I know someone who needs to hear these stories. I do not want to wait for him to catch the news. It won't be long, OK? Who is it? Postal inspector Alan Goddard. Open up, Harrison. Hello, Inspector. What can I do for you? You could ask me in for starters. Thought we'd have a little chat. I told you I don't know anything about this case. I don't know what good it can do to keep talking to me about it. Can I come in, or do I need to get a warrant? Hold on. Pardon the mess. She asked you to leave, didn't she? What did you expect if she found out what kind of man you really are? We didn't have anything to do with these allegations against the company. Offer you a shot, Inspector. I guess not. I'm duty and all. You didn't come here to talk to me about my marriage, did you? I came here to ask you a question, Mark. I believe in fairy tales. What talk is that? Fairy tales? Yeah, you know, Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, the fairy tales. Do you believe in them? Oh, of course not. Neither.  You see what I'm saying? Buy what you want, believe what you want. I told you already. I mean, what do we don't want to do? I want you to take a ride with me. Are you arresting me? I'm not arresting. There are some people I want you to meet. I just want you to listen to what they have to say. Can you do that for me? I lost nearly $30,000 in that investment fraud. The worst part about it was that I thought that I had it. It was a good investment. I really thought it was good. And I encouraged my family and friends to invest also. And because my background is in banking, my friends, they listened to me. When I found out, though, that I had been conned, I felt personally responsible for the money that they had lost. I felt like I lost my credibility. Can you imagine having to go home to your wife and tell her that you've lost a large chunk of your savings or calling my best friend to let him know that, hey, the stocks that I told you were good were actually a scam? I felt responsible for that. Mandy Richards served a six-month sentence in Alderson Federal Prison for Women for her part in helping provide lists of potential victims that were used in an identity theft scam by her boyfriend. She joins us by satellite now. Mandy, I know you have been through a lot over the past year. How did your boyfriend get you involved in all of this? Well, he fooled me. He told me that he really needed some help to meet a quota at work. And he said, how about giving me some of those applications that people turn in, the people that you guys don't hire? What was he doing with those applications? He was stealing people's identity. I didn't know that. He told me he was trying to do a good job at work. So naturally, I wanted to help him out, but it's not what he was doing. How did you find out what he was using the applications for? Well, when they came to my job and interrogated me and then, eventually, I was arrested. And they took my little girl away. Well, that's one person who has suffered a lot as your daughter. Yeah, she has. Tell us about that. Well, I mean, like I said, they put her in foster care. They supervised my visits with her. You have kids, don't you? She would cry when I would leave. Yeah. It was horrible. Two girls. I didn't think I would ever get her back, but I found it. People never think about the kids they get left behind when their parents go to jail.  What happens when he gets out of jail? Well, I don't know, but there's a way I can find out when he gets out. It's a website, and it's called VNS. Everybody should know about it. It's a victim notification system, and it lets me know when he gets out of prison, so I don't have to be afraid all the time. Ms. Horan, you're up next, so we need to get you into makeup. Great, thanks. Do you think your girls would be proud of what you're doing? I lost everything. My wife wouldn't forgive me for what I had borrowed money from our son's college fund. I wanted to send him to a better school. I thought I could double my money, but I can barely afford the community college tuition that he goes to now. And a few months after the trial, my wife left me. These crooks got eight years for mail fraud, and the cells they live in, they're bigger than my apartment. My ex-wife has to take a second job, so do I. It seems like my family went to prison, too, except they didn't do anything wrong. I did. That reaction isn't uncommon. People often blame themselves for things that happen to them, even though they're really no fault of their own. Oftentimes, they're so embarrassed that they won't even tell their own family. We see all kinds of very intelligent, educated people who fall into these scams. Well, is Mr. Mattson's story unusual? I wish that it were. I've seen victims lose their homes, suffer job losses, have problems in relationships, even of course. Ready to? Take two. Well, the good news is that you're there to help them rebuild their lives. We're out. Faith work. All right, let's get out of here. Inspector, I'd like to talk to you about the company now. I think maybe I can help put some of the pieces in place. All right. You want to bring your lawyer in? That would be best, wouldn't it? You think maybe the US attorney would make me a deal? Well, I can't speak for him, Mark, but I'm sure it'll take your cooperation and your consideration. We're running those people we were watching today, ones that lost from our control. No, no, no. Those are all from older cases. I always thought the banks or the credit card companies will cover their losses. I never thought so. Just like the fairy tale, all the king's horses and all the king's men just couldn't put things back together again. Let's go take that statement. Need that paperwork by Tuesday. You got it, boy. All right, thanks. Mark Harrison's remorse about his crime proved to be short-lived. After agreeing to testify against the leaders of the fraud ring, he was arrested again less than a year later for helping to operate an internet auction scam. These types of criminals rarely have any regard for their victims or the damage that they've done to their lives. If you or someone you know has been a crime victim, it's important that you know about victims' rights and the services available to you. In 2004, the Justice for All Act was passed, strengthening rights for federal crime victims. Most states have similar protections for cases handled in the local criminal justice system. All of these victims' bills of rights were created to give victims a proper place in the criminal justice system. They provide an opportunity to participate and be heard and offer practical assistance to minimize the inconveniences and frustrations that crime victims suffer. You can find out more about your rights as a federal crime victim by visiting this website, www.crimevictims.gov. The US Postal Inspection Service investigates many different types of financial crimes, most are handled in the federal justice system. In addition to providing educational material about crime victims' rights and services, the inspection service continually strives to inform the public about current fraud scams and how to avoid becoming a victim. Education is your best defense. Keep up to date on the latest scams by visiting our websites, www.usps.com, slash postal inspectors, and www.lookstoogoodtobetrue.com. Remember, being the victim of a crime is nothing to be ashamed of. Neither is seeking help to recover from it.

So now that we've gone over both how to think of social media and some advanced theory on how to see Instagram, we can now get into all the fun secret techniques on how to do cool things with Instagram that can help you build a fan base. So in this video, I'm going to give you eight secret tips that help you build a fan base on Instagram no one else is showing you. Hi, I'm Jesse Cannon. This is MuseFormation. So I don't think I need to tell you that musicians love to imitate the things that they see famous Instagramers do, but so much of what you can do on Instagram needs a little bit more explaining to do it totally right. So in this episode, I want to talk about what I've seen work for building a fan base to 10,000 fans on Instagram. So let's get on with it.   And what I'm talking about is telling stories around your music on Instagram. The greatest currency that can get your music to grow is always going to be making connections with people who see your posts by telling stories around your music. If you didn't watch my guide to social media, it's linked now and below in the description and you need to understand that if you want to do real work on Instagram. But in short, stories weigh more than everything. There's a reason Instagram named their feature stories after this. If you tell stories, you build bonds. Think of the times in your life and what you're going through and write them down and tell them into the camera. Anyway, you can do this to get it across that shows vulnerability and allows connection that helps fans build these bonds is worth doing on this. So I want you to think of every time you are promoting something that it's a story. New song, tell the story about it. New tour, talk about the bonds and the fun you had on the last one and why this is going to be a unique experience. Just saying you're playing a show isn't enticing. Telling why it will be special is. Tell stories and have conversations with your audience. Don't talk at them. Okay, number two. So we talked about that the other problem you have with Instagram is people will follow you, but they have no awareness of what your music even sounds like. So let's address how we changed that aside from the stories we just talked about. The way we do that first is to actually put music on Instagram. But the problem is most people are scrolling with the sound off. Here's how I like to get around that. So let's assume you're following my releasing a song every six to eight weeks planned for your music. Here's how I would post songs around your music each time after you put them out. The first day you release your song, I would put up a strong image from your video or your artwork or whatever and put them both in a carousel and put them in your story and tell a story around this song in the caption.  Try to invite curiosity to get people to go to the streaming sites and listen to make sure you've added a song.link link to your link tree so people can listen to the song. Next let's put up that video from your single screen video with a sound on which we can hope will gain some curiosity. Maybe if you're posting this a day later you change the color scheme a little bit. Take advantage of the one minute length you can use on Instagram feed and make sure to share it into your story. After this for the next six to eight weeks drop some vertical videos that you hopefully captured during your video shoot. I would try to get as much imagery as possible for vertical videos since stories are so easy to be shared over and over again and whether you need to gather in a post or from your video or capture it on the filmic pro app on your phone while you're filming things I would do whatever you can to add your video shoot to get as much of this content as possible. I would then stick it to the various points of the song's hook as much as you can. Turn.audio is a nice way to present your song in the first week of release when you only have a single screen of artwork for your song out. If you drop your song on a Friday I like to drop this on a Tuesday as another easy way to present a way people can get a visual clue they can listen to your song since the spinning like vinyl image clearly spells out to this mindless fans scrolling through their feed that you can hear the song here. I feel like this is often a helpful nudge that gets a listen and most of all it's free and easy to make in about two minutes. Next I would put up your lyric video and more image stills from your music video for the remaining weeks. If there's great imagery from your video with the hook at different times feel free to post it as much as the video is worth it in different pieces over different days. Let's remember what we're trying to do here we're trying to remind fans to keep building their bond with this song. You can later delete the less amazing posts you made from this from your feed once they've served a purpose. In fact right before I release each new single I like to clean up any other posting done to promote a song so it's easy for someone who's new to your page to look through and get a vibe that's not too repetitious. Whatever day you drop your music video let fans know you're going to go on instagram live and be sure to invite anyone who's in the video and do chats with them and tell stories around the music video. This ensures that the people in the video will share the video and this will put some pressure on them to do so frankly and it will also make their followers more likely to hear about it. Hell invite the director the producer of the song and just tell stories so fans know more about it to blab to their friends about. There's seriously few better exploits on IG right now than to go live since it sends alerts to followers and populates first on stories. Take advantage of this it's not going to last forever but not too often. But once every two weeks is great the last kiss of any campaign should be to post the whole video to IGTV. You are small enough that your numbers on YouTube and Spotify are going to suck anyway and you need all the favors you can get so I know a lot of people don't like that IGTV takes away streams from there but it also can really help a fan bond with the song and is totally worth it at the end of the campaign. So when your single is out on its last breath and you're about to release another put it up on IGTV and it's full glory. Wow okay so I guess after that essay in itself we're on to number three. So speaking of Instagram live and how much it can help people get awareness of you here's an idea. The most low rent easy way to create content and grow yourself on Instagram right now is if you're following what I talked about in my building community video and you're reaching out to different musicians who are similar to you you can do this with all the musicians you have a positive interaction with. I would start a series and call it something like you know calls with whatever your band is and for 30 minutes every week promote it for one day before that that you're gonna do it. Then go live with that person you met from your community research and get to know each other. It will introduce you to the audience of another group and it will be fun. If you don't know what you talk about go back to my video on social media and choose one of the categories have conversations around one of them. At the end of every video pop up your latest singles and talk about them with the fans while they listen to the chat. Number four let's talk about stickers. I personally think stickers don't have enough weight put on them for what they can do for you. Now for whatever reason most people seem to not know that there's a way to put a sticker on your story even if it's not listed in the Instagram directory and that's to simply go into your photo editing app and then export any image you'd like as a PNG and then send it to your photo album and select copy and paste and put it into your story just like I did on the screen now. These stickers can make you look fancy and like your band has its own sticker if you make it to promote your latest single and write the day it's out or it's streaming now. I think it's a cool touch to do on other content and keep pasting the sticker into the corner that reminds fans to stream your latest single even when you're not talking about that single in your story. Let's also remember one of stickers best attributes are that they can hide hashtags behind them so you don't seem like a cheesy bastard as you put up 40 hashtags in your story to try to appear in search. But what about actually getting your stickers to appear on Instagram in that sticker directory so you can have fans help promote you. But let's say we want to get wild here and make these stickers fancy gifts. In order to do this you need a giffy account and from there you just download the gifts into your photo album and copy and paste like you did with that picture just now. But if we really want to get wild again so your fans can search your name and use the stickers around your music you need to get a branded giffy account which takes an application but if you have a fancy distributor for your music above like the tunecore district level they can easily get you hooked up with giffy most of the time. And while they aren't stickers I will say on a recent campaign we made a custom filter to help promote the single and for how little we spent and how much use it got out of it it really is amazing how well those work to get engagement from fans so if you have a great idea for those the developers to make those filters really don't cost that much money compared to what most people thought they were in fact everyone on the marketing call I was on was shocked how cheap we got it for. Okay number five okay let's be honest here people one of the hardest parts of keeping up with the big budget major label aris is keeping up with their budget to get a million photos retouched and angled that are nice and edited highly so that they look amazing and all the photos so I highly suggest getting good at making good content yourself. If you are the type of person where image is everything and you want to go hard on instagram I suggest investing the relatively little money you need to doing it right here's a few suggestions grab a good photo editor white room and vsco are amazing for the money if you want to be that person use face tune or lensa and tons of others that will make your pictures look better in posts pick monkey and fonto are also cheap and have tons of design tools to get writing on your photos and do all sorts of other graphic design functions if you need to do video editing davinci resolve is free and has just as good tools as premiere or final cut simply choose the right aspect ratio you know like nine by sixteen works well for stories and then use its amazing color tools and effects to make better content with the latest version resolve many of the experts are saying as long as you aren't doing tons of motion graphics that resolve is better than all the other options that are paid for video editing so take advantage of the fact that this is free do you look at other people on instagram and wonder why their lighting and makeup all look so good let me tell you what they're using every time I was at the eladic lecture of records offices I'd see these little ring lights on everybody's phone while they were instagramming away that they were there as well joya makes this tripod everybody uses to get the camera further away from them it's really high quality as well if you're trying to do higher quality audio this boy a microphone for the phone is insanely cheap but if you really want to up the quality use the road smart love which will do you a world of good of getting better audio if it's lacking there I use road mics for everything I do in content creation whether it's youtube podcasts or instagram since they have an amazing value for how quality their product is number six speaking of keeping up with the amount of content you need to make to be able to keep up with the amount of stories you need to tell around your music there's tons of apps who can help with that there's also these new apps that will take your existing photos and put animations on them as well as other cool effects to make your stories more eventful after the end light like photo fox quickshot and video leap all of crazy effects to jazz up your photos and videos and recontextualize them other apps like scene and prequel will also do similar things whereas the app cartoona will make your photos into cartoon like images and prisma does similar like alterations and I'll also say oftentimes the free functions on these apps do more than enough that you can use to repurpose your images that you already have and make them fresher bring them back to keep telling stories around your music okay number seven the next tip is to vet your content one of the secrets I saw in my time at warner music group was all the content done by the huge groups I worked with was vetted by their team to make things better make sure you're getting other people's eyes on your most important images and you're getting people to pro free the stories you tell what makes sense to you doesn't always make sense to outside eyes and you're not always saying everything with the context people need to understand it so make sure other people look at your important content and show them multiple options of things you make so that you know that you vetted them thoroughly now for number eight our last tip if you really want to invest in instagram this is what all the pros are doing is an app called later which allows you to see the best times to post when your followers are on so they get the most engagement and you can then schedule your posts to go up when it's going to be best for them to be up to get all this engagement if you're really going to invest in instagram and doing it right I recommend software like this so you can plan and make sure you get the work done of posting whenever is easiest for you so you can choose the best times to push your content so is the best chances of getting spread and my last tiny bit of advice here is unless you're going to be using heavy analytics don't call yourself a creator or a business until you have to on instagram let's remember instagram's owned by facebook the same company that told you to send all your fans there and it started charging you to let 85 percent of your fans see the audience you built and talk to them this company is the scum of the earth so don't ever trust them and give them what they want which is for you to become a business profile to push your content out since trust me that's common that's it thanks so much for watching if there's any cool tricks you know that I should know about stop by my forum and

Columbia, Houston. We're set up down here for PMC on your call. No rush. We realize you're finishing up with the IFM. And we'll be LOS in about 11 minutes. If we get it in before the LOS, great. If not, we'll pick it up on the other side. Astronaut Dr. Michael Gernhardt, who is from Mansfield, is joining us right now along with Astronaut Roger Crouch and Astronaut Janice Voss. And Michael, let's start with you if it's okay. I understand that you're over the South Atlantic just about now, 185 statute miles straight up. What's the most significant part of this mission that you are directly involved with? Mission is to be the lead of the orbiter during what's called the Blue Shift. It's a two-shift mission. And so my job is to keep the space shuttle flying and working nominally so that Roger and Janice back in the lab here can carry on the very important science that they're doing. It's certainly impressive that you've been able to come back into space so quickly after the shortened mission this past spring. How are the fuel cells doing this go around? They're doing great. And as you can imagine, NASA looked at them with a fine-toothed comb and they've been performing flawlessly and we don't anticipate having that same problem again any time in the future. That's phenomenal. And we had more of an elliptical, when the drops were the same size, it was more spherical. This time it seemed to be more elliptical. It wasn't biased towards the larger drop at all. That really is very loud and clear. Leo, how are you doing today? I'm doing great, Jim.  How are you doing? Doing just fine. How about yourself? Well, we're doing great. Y'all looking pretty good up there on SDS 94. I just went out there because I noticed a few minutes ago you were passing over the Gulf of Mexico and silly me. I thought I might be able to actually see you there in the southern hemisphere but either you passed too fast or there was too much cloud cover. You'll be glad to know that just as you were looking for us, we were looking down on you. We had a beautiful sunrise pass over the United States. That's why we hit Baton Rouge and Louisiana just about the time the sun was coming up for you. And there was a lot of high cloudiness that kept us to see on the ground really clearly, which is probably what prevented you from seeing us, because I think the lighting would be pretty good for that pass. Yeah, I was really kind. I had my hopes out there, but anyway, I had to come back in here and talk to you this way. Where are you right now? Well, let's see. Right now, we are just about to hit Africa. After having passed over the United States, we're about to hit Africa. And then, of course, from there, we head on eastbound and next stop will be Australia. Susan Steele, the pilot of SDS 94. Susan, you're a pioneer not only just for women, but for all of us who love the idea of space travel. What inspired you to be sort of an Amelia Earhart type? I was just watching TV one day and saw something on flying and airplanes and decided that I wanted to be a pilot and I just couldn't stop there. I had to go and fly the space shuttle. And how does Columbia handle? Commander does the landing, so I can't really speak to that. I have one to settle training airplanes and it handles kind of like a... Well, be careful now. Columbia there is just 16 years old, so she's kind of on the old side. Jim, I went through pilot training too. Didn't get quite as far as you did because I don't think I can get past those power on stalls. I kept turning those things into spins and I couldn't quite follow you on the SR-71 Black Hawk. But a lot of pilots here do wonder, is the Columbia for the most part on autopilot or do you have to take the stick and fly that thing? On Ascent, we stay on autopilot and we do practice in the simulator if something were to go wrong with the automatic guidance. We can't take over manually and fly it up into orbit. On orbit as we are now, we can let the autopilot fly it. Or if we're doing a rendezvous, which we're not this mission, but we have on other missions that we'll do in the future, we can fly it manually as we approach and dock with the target vessel. On landing, we typically take over manual control at about 50,000 feet or somewhere around 5 minutes prior to the actual touchdown. At about the time on TV, when you see us making that wide sweeping turn to line up with final approach, that's about when I'm taking over manual control. And I'll be flying it down and then landing it manually from that point on. And don't let Susan kid you, she has an important job. Not only is she backing me up in case I should do something wrong, but also she does such important tasks. She has put the landing gear down. She also popped the drag shoe down after touchdown. So it's very much a team effort. We also have a flight engineer sitting in between us and a little bit behind us and he's watching over everything. So we have three people up there on the flight deck and landing really concentrating on the task. By the way, speaking of Selma Field, we just flew over. Of course, we flew by Baton Rouge. That means we also flew by Monroe. And I was able to see the airport in the dawn there as we flew by Runway Short, pretty good in the binoculars. You're pulling my leg, right? No, absolutely not. We've got a pretty high powered pair of binoculars here. Here I'll get Greg to show them to you. They're gyro stabilized and it's amazing from my position just out of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. We could see barely far north as a matter of fact the twin lakes of around Paducah, Kentucky come into view. We can't quite see up to the Great Lakes but in any given direction you can see about 1,000 miles with the naked eye and about 1,500 miles with these binoculars to work. So it's just a fantastic view out here that you never get tired of taking advantage of. Okay, well how many fingers am I holding up now? Okay, that's pretty good. You're also telepathic. That's pretty good. Look, back to the experiments. I got to ask you this. Of course, we come from a prime timber growing area. We understand you're growing trees up there too. What's that about? Yeah, and that's one of the experiments that both Susan and I were helping out on. I should say we're conducting it. We do have a little garden back in the laboratory that we're growing pine saplings in addition to some other plants. It's a small box with a controlled environment with some pine saplings growing. And one of our jobs every day is to do video, take video photography to track the progress of the growth of those plants. You know, I'm talking to some professors at LSU this week. As well as people who are just outside the academic field, you touch on a very good point there. It seems like that by now we should have already had more manned missions there. And it seems like that the Mars Pathfinder sort of rekindled that sort of the romance of space travel, interplanetary travel. Do you suppose that we can kind of get back on track now and try to head that direction? Well, Leo, I'm not willing to admit that we're ever off track. You know, when you think about it, it's not even been 40 years since we first made our hesitating steps up into space, especially about 40 years or even less.  We're up here for more than two weeks. So in that light, it looks like we've come quite a long way in a short period of time. But yeah, I think that it's a mankind's future to continue to seek, to continue to explore, to continue to go forward. And to be a little part of that is certainly a privilege. Any parting words for people who would be looking out there right now saying, I want to do this one day? Oh yeah, certainly. Any young people in particular, don't be afraid to have a dream and to go for it. Only good things can come from that. Don't let anybody ever tell you that you can't do something because you have no idea what you can or can't do until you put your best foot forward. So I think the message from all of us here on Columbia is go for it. Great. Well, we'd like to say happy Saturday to everybody. I know it's a resting for most people, but here on Columbia, we're still continuing to do the round clock science that we've been doing for the last almost two weeks now. What we'd like to do for free choice downlink today is answer a few internet questions, but with a little bit of an added twist. In addition to talking about the answers, we'd like to present some visual demonstrations to maybe get across the answers a little bit better. First up is Don. We have an internet question from James Garlitz from Lansing, Michigan, and James was wondering, could you tell me what fire actually does in microgravity? I'm writing my senior paper for college and I chose fire characteristics in zero microgravity. I'm having a tough time finding out exactly what fire does in space. Well, James, you've come to the right place for the answer here today. For the last two days, I've been working on one of our glove box experiments called Fiber Supported Droplet Combustion. The principal investigator for this experiment is Professor Foreman Williams. He's from the University of California in San Diego. This shows me working at the glove box and pulling out one of our fuel cartridges for the combustion experiment. Our samples range from ethanol, heptane, decane, and different mixtures. And this is a unique combustion facility because we put the drop of fuel on a fiber and that's why it's called Fiber Supported Droplet Combustion. And because we have the droplets on a fiber, we can manipulate them and position them exactly where we want to, where in some of the other experiments, they're free-floating in there. This is looking inside the glove box. This is our little test cell with clear windows on it. We have a fiber of silicon carbide running down the middle of it and we've been deploying drops of one millimeter up to six millimeter in size and putting multiple drops on the same fiber to see how they interact with one another during the burning process. We have a couple of burns coming up. There's two drops on a wire here on the right-hand side of the image. You'll see the igniter igniting there. The drops will ignite in an almost explosive manner there. We have an orange flame. It turns to a bluish flame and right now you can see that two drops is nearly invisible flame, but they're still burning and getting smaller and smaller. Here's another burn. We'll show it to you one more time with two other drops. Well, the igniter come up, heats them up to their ignition point where there's an explosive ignition just about. There you go.  It's a spherical flame as they're burning in microgravity because we don't have the convective forces like we have on the ground with higher rise and cold air settling. We can simulate the ground effects by turning on a fan and put microgravity and that's what we're doing here. We'll turn on a fan as soon as we have the ignition. It'll create a convective flow and you'll see the flame form a point similar to a candle burning on the ground. There's ignition. The fan comes on and that's probably a typical flame that you're used to seeing on the ground. Okay, next up is Sousa. I have two questions from different people, but they basically are asking the same thing. Matt Keesers of Ontario, Canada and Joe Margerone of Victorville, California, they both want to know how blood pressure, pulse and respiration change as we go into space. I'm going to take my blood pressure now. I know what it is from when I left. It was about 100 over 62 days before we went into space. And now that we're up here, I'm going to go ahead and take it. We've been up here now for Irvab, which is very close to what it was on the ground. I did take my pulse earlier today. Okay, next from the red shift is we have a question from Harry Seabrook in Hotchville, Hotchville, Hotchville, West Virginia. I've noticed that air bubbles in water on earth are pretty much flat on the bottom. I'm wondering how that would work in space. Well, Harry, we can't do air bubbles in water, but we can do the inverse. We can do water bubbles in air. And my able assistant here is going to deploy a drop of tropical punch. You're going to see just how drops of liquid behave in space. After all the vibration stamped out, it is a perfect sphere. It's because of the microgravity environment and the lack of gravity that we're able to do some of the research projects here in space that we're not able to do on earth. Okay, Greg. Okay, Harry, I hope that answers your question.  Okay, we copy that, Don. And as soon as you wrap up the rest of the LIF steps, we're ready to call it a day for you and want to thank you again for putting in an extra hard and long day today. I work complete with LIF. I want to thank Wade also for the great training that we had on the LIF. I've worked with him both on IML2 and MSL1 here. And he did a great job training us. And I know we're running out of samples here for LIF also. And I appreciate your help down there. Kimberly, you were looking over my shoulder the whole day and keeping an eye on the pre-tripped and procedures. And that was a great, great help. It really helps out up here.


I want to say the command of my fastball, locating secondary pitches, attacking the strike zone, and focusing on getting ahead and getting the first batter of the inning out, by the way. You talked about your commanding a little bit of an issue early in the season. What were the adjustments you made when you were down at the alternate site that allowed you the last two times out to be better in that category? Do you have any specific adjustments you made to get the command of your strike zone again, especially when you were down at the alternate site? What I've said, I've always worked on the net command. It was the only thing I needed. When I had the first two out, I didn't have the command of the net, and I was able to adjust it in the camp, and now I'm going to have good results in the last two out. Nothing specific.  It's very important. That's something I was able to do down there in the alternate camp, and I'm very happy, very pleased with it.  Y, por ejemplo, cuando está lanzando, verdad, que la ofensiva ataca de la manera que lo hace, te ayuda a relajarte en la lomita cuando tuve tu ofensiva atacando la manera que lo hice tan noche. Claro, claro, uno se preocupa más por llevar el juego de la misma manera de donde uno empieza. Siempre es bueno mantener equipo contrario en una estabilidad. No es bueno de cuidarse ni concierte en el montículo. Yeah, of course, you know, they give you that kind of support, and you know, and for me as a pitcher, you want to keep the game exactly as you started. You know, you want to keep the other team right there, but yeah, definitely, definitely helps. You can go next to Ken Davidoff. Hi, Domingo, your last bat of the game, Mount Castle, you got him working there. You seem really fired up in the mound. Can you just tell us what was going through ahead at that point? Domingo, el último bateador del equipo manca sobre lo terminate con un lanzamiento y vivimos mucha emoción de ti. Vivo pasar por tu mente en ese momento, porque que mostré tu emoción al terminar social training. Claro, y algo que que andaba a buscar, que andaba buscando y algo que que me hacía falta para entrar un poco más lleno del juego, algo que de así le necesitaba para dejarle saber a los otros equipos que sí, gracias a yo he vuelto. Se he vuelto, he vuelto, he vuelto a tener un buen control. He vuelto a hacer el mismo de antes y que de ahora en adelante van a tener un Domingo del Manuevo y más positivo en cada salida.  And I think it's I'm just getting started.


What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here. Today I want to cover the state of destiny 2, Eververse, the community and much more. Now before I go any further people, a few days ago I scheduled a video of me opening Dawn in Ingrams which I brought for Silver which in turn I did spend money on. Little did I know the backlash of the comments I was going to get for it. Now I was away for Christmas and didn't see these comments until I was back literally a day after I posted it. I instantly saw people were unhappy with me supporting Eververse and many stated I should never post such a video. With that in mind and a few of the things which I'll talk about, I took the video down. Now to address other comments in stating I'm a hypocrite for one day hating the implementation of Eververse and the next day buying Silver to spend within it, let's get one thing straight. I do indeed feel as almost everyone does and that is the implementation of such ruins the game which it does. Eververse does indeed ruin the game, not because of what it is, many games have such places to buy cosmetics. This isn't at the norm, the problem here is the further we've gone with Eververse the best looking gear is locked behind Eververse's paywall. I love Destiny, I love my Hunter and I want my Hunter to look as good as it can. I wanted this gear so I brought Silver to spend on it trying to get it. There was absolutely no way I was ever going to get this gear through playing the game normally, that was certain so I did buy Silver. What I am so for though is the community coming a more toxic place to being at the moment, more than it's ever been.  Luckily I'm a strong world dude. If I was of a depressive nature some of the comments I read would have surely got me down. It was literally disgusting. I know what I read was left by geeks playing out their parents basements but please if you're ever going to leave a comment of a negative nature at least try and kind of be wise with your words.  I brought silver because I wanted gear which I was never ever going to obtain real playing the game normally. Yes I do not agree with eververse but I also never see it going away eververse in my opinion will always be here whether or not they strip their bright engram contents and add that loot into obtainable loopholes within normal play is another thing otherwise it's always going to be there if it was stripped back though nobody would have cared about me buying engrams but because of the state it's in now people want me to die because of this people need to calm down thousands and thousands people buy silver they just don't make it public and I can understand why people seem to forget that kids watch destiny videos and read the comments seeing comments at such they will repeat elsewhere my seven-year-old daughter watches and reads the comments on my videos while she isn't easily phased seeing people wish death upon her is not the reason I make videos and that's one of the main reasons and me removing the video it honestly hurts me how the community treats such people for one to enjoy certain things this is the reason behind many many content creators on youtube staying clear of their comment section it's a hostile place at the moment one mistake and their heads are demanded to be taken off honestly it's disappointing if you ain't there to support that person what the heck are you there for really sad times in my opinion really really sad times something else I want to address yesterday I uploaded a video which was titled PVP is not dead within that video I had major fun playing with my hunter basically going in views using my sword within mayhem I know this annoys the hell out of people that's why I was having so much fun I'd never had so much fun I said within a video PVP certainly not dead when you can have this much fun and wow I walk the same sort of people looking for that attention comments as such I'm unsubbing because one day you hate the game the next day you're saying it's the best game ever the way people take what I say out of context it's unreal I've never ever said I hate destiny I hate the way bungee are making the game but I want to see the game do great because I upload videos talking the truth about destiny and bungee which can be seen as me hating on them I do it out of love for the game I do not hate destiny I hate the direction it seems though bungee are taking it and I will speak out about it if you sub to me because I call out bungee and the bsda triumphal because you think I'm the type of youtuber who loves to hate on everything negative one does you are wrong I hate that type of youtuber I call out the truth and will state it and I do that for the sake of my viewers in my opinion there needs to be one black sheep in the family there needs to be one person in the community that speaks out about it and if I can be that person I will be it I will not sit here and lick balls for the sake of my channel and bungee inviting me out to places I will tell the truth about the game to make it a better game and it's as simple as that and it all does come out of love for the game and wanting it to be great again simple trust me I wouldn't play and post the game if I hated it you wonder why my channel has over 500,000 dead subs it's because I built a channel up around a game called Call of Duty for many many years the game to me turned into complete garbage so I moved on simple as that I lost the biggest audience I've ever had in doing so but the choice was made by me because I couldn't continue playing a game which I hated it was as simple as that so I moved on if destiny hits me like that trust me I would simply just move on from it but I don't hate destiny in fact I love it as a franchise and I ain't giving up on it yet but in order for this game to be great again major changes are needed to one particular feature and that is Eververse a place which has become to behold the true end game loot earn loot here via playing normally or leveling up and earning free ingrams or by you spending money to try and get them contents easier as you know I have purchased such ingrams because they loot they behold I just can't get and to be honest I don't ever see myself ever getting them and to be honest from the ingrams I've purchased I still haven't got what I wanted it is a horrible horrible system they have in place here the more you spend it seems the harder things are to get and the more bungee add reducing the chances of you getting them said items you want now in destiny one eververse was never this bad well she might have been but it wasn't really an issue back in the d1 times because there was plenty of end game in place contents of these bright ingrams were decent but they never overshadowed what was obtainable via normal gameplay itself but it all changed in d2 eververse for sure is a home to the best loot and the best looking loot within the game I have said it many many times bright ingrams are the one and only true end game this game offers eververse is a system which makes bungee no doubt millions and millions of dollars per year and an interesting video I highly recommend you checking out was one posted a few days ago by COS gaming he breaks down the cost of each bright ingram and works at the price of bright dust and what it could cost for said items these ingrams offer an awesome video which you will find leaked within the video description and I do highly recommend you check it out what he finds is absolutely scummy I for sure was not aware of this video before I purchased some ingrams myself would this have changed my mind 100% it would have but hey what's done is done there's no going back he worked out the cost of bright dust a currency we can use to buy certain loot from test eververse with the best case scenario of it costing around $1 per 1000 bright dust worst case is $1 for only 30 bright dust he works this out with to say the least quick maths but his point is definitely valid he calculates the drop rates of bright ingrams and said loot drops dismantled and their bright dust worth with such items on sale for 3000 bright dust could cost you up to above $30 and that doesn't even take rng into account the total cost of everything eververse offers is way over $10,000 and again people spending that much money wouldn't guarantee you got every item which is even more of a joke eververse has become something none of us would have expected it's basically become the centre point of this loot shooter something which is taken over and the worst thing is people this is gambling straight up gambling you spend money in turn of a chance of getting a certain said something that is gambling and in reality it should be illegal in games of that of a certain age yet you are allowed to gamble within this game and it's deemed fine by whatever board of regulations this falls under how is that in my opinion though eververse will never be removed from the game bungee will like d number said on twitter they will look into it but there'll always be a place in the game where cosmetics will be able to be bought it's as simple as that what needs to be done is all the content within these ingrams they need to be added into the loot pool of the game every single thing bright ingrams offer they need to be added into the loot pool of gameplay and please nobody state where you can earn bright ingrams via leveling up yes you can but there is nobody on this planet who plays this game enough to earn everything these ingrams offer so that every day Bob and Larry like me and you have no chance what needs to be done is one of two things bright ingram loot needs to be toned down and said items need to be offered elsewhere or everything these bright ingrams offer needs to be on sale 24 hours a day for a said price of bright dust and bright dust for us the player needs to be way more easily obtainable every verse at the moment is selling an emote which will cost over 3000 bright dust i literally dismantled all i could to try and obtain it but i still was way way off now this is a joke i tweeted about this and tagged bungee in it i'm also followed by a few bungee peeps so i know they saw it and do you think i care no i don't that was the plan in the tweet the whole system which is in place here is an absolute joke it's a system which in my opinion is far far worse than anything we've seen from other games EA included at least with them and Star Wars they sorted it literally out overnight with the upload from the EA Star Wars community why don't bungee at this quick many people blame Activision is it truly Activision that's forced the system into place within their game i honestly don't know and i don't care what i do care about though is getting it sorted Destiny 2 now is a game cheaper to buy than Minecraft a game which has been out over 20 times as long what does that tell you bungee it tells everyone else that the shit has hit the pan this franchise has already began to sink it won't be long before it's fully submerged and lost for good many many of the community have moved on hoping to see a few air bubbles reassurance in the future but they have openly admitted they're just locking into a dark clear ocean with no sign of life which is a shame bungee need to sort things out and try and save what's left of their game before there's nothing else to save we are now seeing leaks on the next dlc know that these leaks are schemes in place by bungee to try and get the hype train rolling but i'm afraid bungee this hype train has stopped mid-route and there's a bunch of bright engrams on the track stopping it going any further they need removing before this hype train can get going again and on that note people i am out thanks as always for stopping by i hope you enjoyed the video and i will catch you on that next one


Kempo was an eclectic martial art that originated in China and filtered through Japan, or Hawaii in some cases, to other parts of the world. The name Kempo is a Japanese translation of the Chinese word chuanfa, meaning fistlaw. Many forms of Kempo exist, however the most notable is probably American Kempo created by Hawaiian martial artist Ed Parker. Modifying traditional Kempo and mixing it with other influences, he created a hybrid system that focuses on scientific anatomical study and techniques were delivered in destructive sequential combinations. Over the past few decades, this Kempo system has split and branched the countless variations with Tracy Kempo and Kempo 5.0 as a couple examples of the larger factions. The unique aspect of Kempo is the rate of evolution, with each graduating master taking the art, adding their own influences and creating a whole new flavor of modern fighting and self-defense.
