All right, thank you. PowerPoint's ready to roll. Thanks, everyone, for coming today. It's just myself. I'm going to be talking about online-only media. And I'm from the University of Washington in Seattle. I've been working on this project, which I'll define later, for a couple of years. I've had an NEH, Digital Humanities Startup Grant, and then most recently an IMLS grant. And so Cliff very nicely invited me to come and talk about the issue. And what my colleagues and I have been doing in regards to it. So a little bit from that abstract here. Let's just clean this up. Today's music and movie industry is increasingly favoring online-only direct-to-consumer distribution. No longer can librarians expect to collect music recordings or videos on tangible media or first-sale doctrine applies. Instead, at an ever-increasing rate, librarians are discovering that music and video recordings are only available via such online distribution sites as iTunes and Amazon. These distributors require individual purchasers to agree to restrictive end-use life-saving agreements, or ULIS, that explicitly forbid institutional ownership and such core library functions such as lending. So I'm going to run through this in my overview for today. And I also like to keep this as conversational as possible. We're pretty small groups, so feel free to interrupt me. It's pretty warm in here, isn't it? I'm trying to keep most of my clothes on. Definition. I'll give you a definition of what we're talking about. Lay out the issues as best I can. Give you an overview of the NEH and IMLS grants. Talk about some of the initiatives we've looked at as part of those grants. And then, most importantly, in my opinion, is getting your feedback on some ways forward with the issue. So what is online-only media? Refers to media that is only available on license, as a licensed download or stream via the sites I just mentioned like iTunes or Amazon. And it's not available on DVD or CD or even vinyl. And it's not necessarily born digital media either. It could be turn of the century, turn of the previous century media that's been re-released as something to purchase on iTunes. In fact, the Library of Congress just released some recordings from the American Folklife Center on iTunes exclusively. And as we know, I'm preaching to the choir here. You probably already know this. But online-only media is growing phenomenon lauded by many for its convenience and omnipresent accessibility. As we see here, in 2014, on-demand streaming services declined while CD sales plummeted. That's surprising. And vinyl has eaked up a little bit, but it's only with a pretty small niche hipster market. That doesn't really count as much as I love it. And in the world of video, we're seeing something very similar. A recent study indicates that by 2016, streaming will exceed Blu-ray and DVD sales. And then by 2017, streaming sales will also eclipse movie box office sales or revenues. And that sounds great on the surface, of course, for many consumers. But as librarians and archivists, I do think we have something to be concerned about. Northwestern University music librarian DJ Hook was among the first to raise concerns about online-only music, in particular in 2009, with this issue of American libraries. In his article, Hook described his attempt to purchase an online-only Ryan Eno album and also an LA Philharmonic do-it-and-mell recording on iTunes. But he read the terms of use, unlike most people.  He read the terms of use and checked with his campus council and they decided that they couldn't actually agree to the terms of use. Hook went to Apple at that point and asked them to represent it from Apple about their opinion. And they wrote back saying that the terms of use dictate that iTunes is for personal use only and that libraries are not permitted to purchase music through the iTunes store. A few other points from his article that are pretty interesting. He talks about subscription services, such as Noxos or Friegel. But he points out and I agree with him that they come over some of their own issues, of course, too. They require us to compromise collection development, kind of buy what you get and you get a big package of stuff. And then there's the issue of preservation. So we're not really fulfilling our mission to preserve this material. And I like this quote, if libraries are unable to acquire, download only sound files, and this is download, of course, this 2009 was talking about, so streaming is really taken off since then. The preservation of our culture is left in the hands of record companies. So what does that mean? Well, here's a picture of the unfortunate universal studio this fire in 2008, in which nearly 100% of the archive prints that were kept on the lot were destroyed, along with 5% of the universal music groups recordings, including primarily big band jazz and the decalabel. And then also videotape recordings of many TV shows were also lost. So the challenge to sum it up is that libraries are not able to purchase and collect online-only music and video due to these ULAs. And they forbid institutional ownership and lending. And by way of proof, I want to visit a handful of industry ULAs, which have the power to double as a naturopathic remedy for insomnia, especially with this heat. But they do have a side effect of increasing your irritability. So here we go. I won't read through them verbatim. And you've seen them before. iTunes, I highlighted the part in red that makes me irritable. You may not rent lease, lend, sell, redistribute, so forth. And it's a violation of the rights of the licensure, et cetera. Amazon, very similar, personal, non-commercial entertainment use, not available for any kind of redistribution. And they actually say he may not lend explicitly. Spotify is very similar, non-commercial, personal, again. Can't share your password or your account with anyone else. Ardio is also similar. No renting, no leasing, no adapting. And finally, Netflix, which also says you may not distribute, modify. And it's for your personal, non-commercial use. So the takeaway is this. ULIS forbid libraries from buying, lending, or saving content for future generations of listeners, viewers, or scholars. And if the mission, at least in part of research libraries, is to preserve and provide access to materials for future generations, what are we to do? Relinquish our mission. Not quite yet. Maybe go and get a couple of grants to look at the issue. So here we go. So first grant we receive, Anne Lally, who's a colleague of mine at the University of Washington. We recoup PIs on a digital humanities startup grant to look at the issue. And I think it was kind of unusual. It wasn't the typical digital humanities grant. But they gave us some funding to hold a meeting and kind of write up a white paper on the issue. And then the second one, which we're just wrapping up now, is with Judy Sal at the Music Library at the University of Washington. And that was for quite a bit more money. Cliff was involved with that. And some consultants, too, were able to hire. And they each wrote position papers on the topic. And we held several meetings as part of that. So let's dive in. I'll give you a little more detail here. So the NEH grant, we essentially had a meeting of Music Librarians. So we're all in agreement and on the same page, just kind of echoing each other in a sense. But it was good to at least pull ourselves together and articulate some of our concerns on the topic. As part of this, I also contacted Apple and Amazon Reps and knew somebody at Amazon. And they were in the digital download service. And they asked their colleagues. And essentially, they came back. Both Apple and Amazon said they were sympathetic, but that the ULAs were dictated by the content industry so there was nothing they really could do. So the next, I thought, well, let's go to the content industry, those providers. And I contacted the LA Philharmonic about the Duda Mel recording. And they ended up very quickly sending me to a Deutsche Grammaphone in Germany and then bounced me back to a universal music group in Santa Monica. And at first they said there was nothing they could do. That was it. No institutional use allowed. But then they kind of started to think about it. And they agreed that they would license us up to 25% of the material on the album. For no more than two years worth of use. And then the processing fee would be $250. And then this other licensing fee would be more than $250 on top of that. So we declined to pursue that. Didn't seem very tenable. But a good exercise anyway. And then the IMLS grant, there's a lot of text on the slide. I'm not going to read everyone's names, but I wanted to give everyone some credit here for participating in the grant. There are a lot of people helping out. Some people you may recognize. And as I said, we hired consultants to help us articulate the issue in more depth and actually propose solutions to the problem. I tried but failed to recruit industry lawyers to help us out. More than a couple said it would be a conflict of interest to work on this grant. Though they too were very supportive in a sense of the issue and understood it. So we had three meetings. One at the Music Library Association in Atlanta. Kind of a town hall style meeting where we got everyone to contribute their ideas. Then one before ALA in Vegas where the consultants and the participants sat down and worked out over the day some issues and some approaches to the problem. And then just a few weeks ago, Judy Selle and I presented at the National Recording Preservation Board meeting at the Library of Congress. And they gave us some spot on their agenda so that we could talk about the issue. And that was Sam Berlowski, his chair of that was instrumental in making that happen. And that was really great because we had a record industry representatives there. So let's take a look at some of the approaches that our consultants recommended. And I should just say that there's not, no one agreed on one single approach to the issue of course. It's really like a whole bucket full of solutions or approaches to try to remedy this. So beginning with a copyright reform. Many of our attorneys spoke about the possibility of copyright reform and creating a library exemption in copyright code that allows for non-profit and educational use of this material. I heard that the industry has effective lobbyists so that might be a challenge. And then there's a real concern held by many at ALA that if you start opening up the law and try to make something that seems library friendly, you'll actually end up with something that's much more restrictive. And I think we've seen that to a degree with the section 108 working group. I should note that Eric Harberson from the University of Colorado is actually working with his local congressperson to craft some legislation to do exactly this to create copyright reforms. And I'm not sure how far along they've gotten but they actually have some text in mind. We'll see how far that goes. Another approach recommended by some of our consultants in particular Eli Nyberger from Ann Arbor District Library. He just said, forget the music industry. Just leave them, they're doomed and work with artists and distributors. They're willing to work with you. So do direct licensing with bands and independent distributors and collect their material for your collections and provide free and open access to these materials for your users. And so he's worked with Magnatune among others. That's some weird stuff here. To do this and other, so public libraries are really leading this effort, including of course Ann Arbor but also Iowa City and then my hometown of Santa Cruz is also piloting this kind of project. And so there are challenges here, of course, as with any option. Possibly a limited catalog of artists who are willing to do this and then it's time consuming but then again, I think any of these options that can be time consuming including the grants themselves. So what does direct licensing look like? I'm not gonna read three of these but Eli was nice enough to provide kind of a general overview of what he tries to get when he licenses something from a musician or from an independent distributor. And then we've had some success locally in Seattle with a sub-pop records and we were able to license this album from La Luz which is a local band and this is gonna be your musical interlude for this presentation. That's if I can play music with a PowerPoint which can always be a joke. I tested it so many times. Oh, failure. All right, forget it. They're kind of like an indie surf rock all-female band and they've had most of their stuff on sub-pop which also releases a lot of vinyl but a few of their recordings are only available through iTunes. So sub-pop has been open to discussing the issue and thinking about ways to work with libraries pretty much kind of on an individual one-on-one basis. And then Vimeo, also here's an exciting screenshot of my email. There was a movie that we wanted to purchase as part of course reserves and it was only available as a download on Vimeo and so I wrote to Vimeo and they basically said just go directly at first they said no, there's no way that you can collect this work and I wrote back and said isn't there anyway and they said we'll just go directly to the artist themselves or the filmmaker in this case themselves which I believe we did. So even the industry is also suggesting that we work directly with the artists. A lot of the, it's a bit of a creative, there we go. A lot of the consultants at our pre-ALA meeting also recommended doing more in the way of public relations and public pressure, communicating the issue, doing something like the read posters but listen perhaps. And let people know that libraries want to pay for this material, we don't want to pirate it, we're not interested in that. What's more, not only do we want to pay for it, we want to keep paying to preserve it and to provide access to it which is value added to this material of course and in my mind that we're preserving it oftentimes for the record companies that made it originally or produced it originally they'll come back to us looking for this material. So a lot of consultants suggested gotta do a better job at PR. And then some consultants suggested we just break the law. Well, not exactly break the law but really flex 107 and 108 and it exercised those rights even though this is really contract law that we're talking about. Many consultants still thought that there were ways of, there we go, ways of using 108, 107 to acquire, preserve and provide access to this material. So Brandon Butler in particular talked about open 107 and 108 as being open and flexible doctrines that may be helpful in the situation even though or precisely because it was not foreseen by lawmakers and then here are a couple of possible applications of both 107 and 108. So if we came into possession of some files and the terms of use didn't explicitly forbid preservation or lending or access, then perhaps we could provide access and preserve them in our libraries. Secondly, fair use could also be asserted if we purchased, if we acquired files but then we also got say public performance rights for that music or some other kind of separate license that gave us the right to make this music available, then that may actually protect us. We say, well, we had to actually download and buy it in order to perform it. Does that make sense? Yeah, okay. So you have to choose your, I think what they're saying is kind of have to choose your battle carefully and look at the terms of use. And if you go to a test case, choose a license, choose a ULA that's really kind of has some gray area. And this is a quote from Corrin McSherry from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. She was also one of our consultants. And she just writes that libraries are simply attempting to fulfill their mission of preserving our common culture in our highly, we are highly sympathetic defendants where the purpose of the use is to archive music and make it available to patrons for non-commercial research purposes and in particular where the copyright owners refuse to license it for said purposes, a court is likely to find the use to be a lawful, fair use. So she's really saying, let's go get sued. And so what would this look like in a library setting? I know many libraries already lend iPods or iPads with eBooks, is that right? People are still doing that. So why not music? Those two have, many of those eBooks have restrictive view lists. So we could just do it with music and movies too. That's one possibility. And then we have these archival jukeboxes, as we call them at UW, where we have library use only collections that have lots of problematic rights issues. So we could put recordings on there to make it super inconvenient for our users, but at least allow them to come into the library and listen to them, and perhaps take it into the classroom too. Another thread among our consultants was preservation and really to highlight the fact that libraries are here to preserve this material. And so we discussed possibilities of putting it into deep-in or locks, maybe even create a regional network of archives in coordination with Library of Congress where regional centers were collecting music that's representative of their area, provide access to that music on their premises, but then uploaded also to the Library of Congress or some other entity where it's all preserved as one giant cache. And again, there are challenges, of course, with preservation, as we've heard today, can't really sustain preservation without access of some kind, and it's expensive. So the Music Library Association is in conjunction with this grant creating a kind of a statement of best practices. And this is what they're ending up with. And they hope to influence, of course, the practice of music librarians around the country. So they're looking at crafting model legislation, creating this lock-style archive, raising awareness via PR campaign, and then kind of trying to keep a list of this online-only media, which I think it's gonna be very challenging to do. And they purposely sidestep the issue of fair use completely. And I don't think they wanted to wade into that issue and start recommending fair use of this material for better or for worse, they avoided it. And then, as I mentioned, we had a meeting with the National Recording Preservation Board a few weeks ago, and that was really positive because they actually formed a committee, a subcommittee, to look at this issue, and then we have representatives from NARIS on there. So I'm cautiously optimistic that we may be able to work something out for these larger reporting industry like ULAs, but we'll see how far we go with that. And that's really all I have today. I would love, though, to get your suggestions and feedback on the issue. And what you think about this, is it something to be concerned about? Is it, is everything gonna come out in vinyl, so no big deal? Will libraries start to be concerned once e-books kind of hit the same issue? Thank you.


Hi, I'm Melissa Ross, and recently you may have heard that the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus is coming to town for the last time ever. That after decades of protests about the circus' treatment of animals. We spoke about it with the circus' first female ringmaster, Kristin Johnson, but this isn't about that. No, instead, we asked her five very personal questions. Take a look. My name is Kristin Michelle Wilson, and I'm the ringmaster for Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Presents Circus Extreme. Ringmaster, who was your first celebrity crush? Oh, these are good questions. I like them already. My first celebrity crush, A.C. Slater, from Saved by the Bell, oh yes. When have you ever been in trouble with the law? I've never been in trouble with the law. I am definitely someone who likes to follow the rules, and I try to be a leader and a trend setter and show everybody that it's cool to stay in school. Okay, what piece of music do you own that you'd be embarrassed to admit to? Oh, I would not be embarrassed to admit to any piece of music because even the silly, fun stuff is meant to make you dance around and have a good time, and there is no shame in my game. Oh, come on. All right. Rachel, and what's the weirdest thing you do when you're alone, ringmaster? The weirdest thing I do when I'm alone, oh, I dance. All I do is dance. My whole life is a musical. It is choreographed. The thing about leading the greatest show on earth is the rest of you guys finally get to see it. And finally, who would you most like to switch lives with? If I could switch lives with anyone, I wouldn't do it. I would not take that magic pill because I tell you what, I'm living my dream right now. It has been the greatest honor of my life to be the very first female ringmaster for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, and I've just discovered that I'm going to be the last ringmaster for Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. It is an honor that I hold so close to my heart. It is the greatest chapter of my life. I have a front-row seat for the most spectacular performers from all around the world, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. There it is, our first ever five questions. More to come. I'm Melissa Ross. Thanks for watching.


Today we conducted a lot of mountain training. I was mainly focused on small unit levels. As a junior leader I've been given a lot of opportunity to design some of the training myself in a lot of the classes so that we can go after like very specific tasks that we feel within our teams and squads that we need to improve on. Friendlies on the right! Communicate. Who's pulling security down the hallway? Your keys to survival are communicating, your violence of action and do not drop your security. I think it's helping us increase our interoperability with coalitions and other NATO forces. Opportunities like this with the ranges that we've been given here to run through with our soldiers has helped us increase their knowledge and empower both my team leaders, my fire team leaders and their soldiers as well. I was holding the hallway almost the whole way down Tucson. More or less let our soldiers figure out how to learn, put into action the knowledge that we've given them through classroom instructions. So I think it's been great for us to have the opportunity to see hands-on what they've learned through our teaching.


Brexit was a great opportunity for the UK to basically abandon the regulatory regime of the European Union and to eliminate regulation. It could also be an opportunity to set up the UK as a free trade island and get away from the immigration restrictions that the trade restrictions that the European Union had put in place. And some of the supporters of Brexit, those are the arguments they made that it's about getting rid of regulation, it's about increasing trade, it's about all these things. Now Brexit has happened, Brexit has happened. And then we sit here and continue to wait for all the good stuff to happen that was promised as a result of Brexit, getting rid of all the European regulations, establishing free trade policies. There being some movement of free trade, I mean the UK did what I think the United States didn't do under Trump, which is join a free trade deal in the Pacific Ocean. One of the massive mistakes of the Trump administration was rejecting a top. The UK has joined a top or something similar at the top. But generally, it still hasn't lived up to its promise of free trade island. And then on top of that, when the current Prime Minister, Sunak of UK came in, he promised, and actually the Conservatives passed a law that said that by the end of this year, by the end of 2023, all 6,000 or 8,000 regulations that had been adopted by the UK because of the European Union because of the European Union, embraced by the UK as part of the deal with the European Union, all of those would be eliminated. And the UK would draw up its own regulations, which would be supposedly a lot leaner and a lot more effective and a lot more efficient and a lot more poor business, let's say, than the European Union ones. Last week, the UK government said that it was changing its mind. They would not do away with all 6,000, 4,000 or however many regulations they were because it was too difficult, it was too hard. They were afraid that by eliminating all the regulations so fast, they wouldn't make mistakes and bad stuff would happen and business wouldn't be ready. And yeah, bad stuff would happen, right? Because, why? Because they were getting rid of the regulations too fast. So instead, they've decided to get rid of 600 specific laws that will be revoked. Now, 600 is better than nothing, but it's not as good as 4,000. I for one have no problem in thrusting the government into a position where, oh my God, all these regulations have disappeared, what are we going to do now? Business can cope quite well, amazingly well actually, even when they were in a position where suddenly the regulations have disappeared and they don't know what to do. So I wouldn't worry about business in that context. So anyway, the UK is moving a little bit in that direction, but nowhere near as much as it could. I'll still take the 600. One of the real aims of some of this is to put it this way. One of the things the EU is clearly signaling through its regulatory regimes is a disinterest in innovation, technology and progress. So it is basically adopting the precautionary principle where you can't operate anything new unless you can guarantee 100% that it doesn't increase risk. That's the precautionary principle. The EU is finding big tech. The EU basically is discouraging innovation. The UK wants to take a different stance. It wants to encourage it. It wants to support it. It wants to embrace innovation and embrace tech. It still wants to break up big tech and I think it was the UK regulatory agency that prevented Microsoft from buying that gaming company in the name of protecting competition. Just absurd and ridiculous. They're now like eight, ten different regulatory agencies that can put a kibash on a mojo. People accuse us of having a free market, right? And all these problems caused by a free market. What free market are we talking about? The free market where regulators can tell me whether I can mojo or not mojo with another company? God. Anyway, the UK does have a path here to become an innovative innovation center of Europe and basically separate itself from the European Union by having laws and regulations in place and tax code in place that does not discourage innovation, start-ups, technology, business. UK has always had pretty good policies with regard to biotech and if you remember Dolly the sheep that was cloned. They did a lot of kind of cutting edge biotech stuff. Hopefully they can get back to that once now that they've left the European Union and not under the boot of European Union regulations. So there really is an opportunity for the UK to separate itself and to become a real beacon. But it's going to have to move pretty quickly and it's going to have to do things that are pretty dramatic and significant particularly on the regulatory front. And I just wonder if this government and the next government which is likely to be a Labour government have what it takes to achieve that, have what it takes to be successful with that. Thank you very much.

This study examined the effects of motor imagery, MI, and action observation, AO, on sensor-motor activation patterns in healthy adults and stroke patients. It was found that the sensor-motor activation patterns differed between the two groups, with those who had weaker MI-induced EEG features achieving stronger sensor-motor activations in AO than those with stronger MI-induced EEG features. Additionally, the group with stronger MI-induced EEG features achieved stronger sensor-motor activations in the MI-AO condition than those with weaker MI-induced EEG features. This suggests that the sensor-motor activation patterns are related to individual differences in EEG features and may be used to guide stroke patients towards more effective motor feedback training.

We did different cranky plays and today we are back in more of Five Nights at Freddy's security breach I really liked it the last time that we played which for me was 10 minutes ago. I Really enjoyed it. It was It's very different than any other FNAF game. It did get a little bit repetitive, but we'll see if the repetitivity Continues as we go down the slide It's a ball pit Don't jump into the ball pit. Don't jump into the ball, but being a Christ hate this All my friends Keep the lights on On on on On on that's where I know me. I like keeping the lights on Jesus Christ, I'm having a great time What is happening? Okay, okay, there I am Find a distraction E I'm a I'm gonna make a new slot just in case the security badge. Ooh, I'm gonna take the security That'll be good. Um, is there a way for me to I Didn't do anything.   This is not gonna be a good time, dude This is not gonna be a good time at all can play structures Isn't this a play structure? I'm in the balls. I'm in the balls.    This is genuinely horrifying.    Oh my god. He's got a big old string on him Okay, is there a way for me? Is that where I am? I have no idea. Okay, turn on the generator. There's five motherfucking generators, dude There's five of them Damn it. Okay Can we see okay, that looks like one this is the my least favorite thing I've ever done in my whole life Okay, where is this so this is near That thing I think This looks like this over here is the is the station thing we were at I found what I found what doesn't he know that I'm trying to help him this is bitch. No, I'm trying to help I Got one I got one. That's good. I wish I could see I Just wish that I could see if I'm in the light. Can he not come in the light? That'd be cool That would be really cool I wonder also if on the ground there's things to help.   I hit this so much if I'm looking around See I wish these had a little bit of night vision or something that would be nice Okay, so he's up there flying around So this is the ball pit. I'm under here trying to see if I can see Things at all can't really see anything. Oh Oh, it was the Sun on the moon up there.  This is past my bedtime So let's see If I can figure out where all of the things are Okay, so there's one up here So if I just go up that that'll be fine If I go around I can go down and up the slides There's one straight up there All right, bring me back now.  Ooh, wait Can we just go down this one?  What? How are we supposed to get there? Okay, that's slide. How do we get to that slide? How the what? When there's one down here, too So this one what's the easiest way to get to here? Okay, just from the door over through here. I need to get a note that I'm just literally drawing just like a diagram Of this so that's one two three So that all we do Just go through there. We go through this how to get to this guy here. I think we have to go Just straight through yep Down okay now we need to find the last one last one last one Did I already find this? Think so yep, because that's that Okay, so there's got to be another one on that side. Yeah, they're not all gonna be over on this side Over there on the bottom floor of this. Oh five, okay Time to try this Time to try this I think what I'll do I think what I'll do is do this Do this one first because he can't come in the play structures So I'll do I'll do this gen first.  Let's go battery I can help it so round one really great Trying to think of the best way to do this Fastest that I possibly can down here. Yes.  Oh my god. That took such a long time That took such a long time.  Whoa My god Jump in we need to get out of here jump in where oh my god Please she got please go upstairs They cannot find you while we are together. Oh god.    Can I get through here? There's one through here wasn't there? Yes.  Yeah Get to recharge station. I am like I feel ill right now because I was doing that for such a long time I feel like motion sick nauseous That is a fountain a fountain is a decorative reservoir used for discharging water Not the fountain you didn't see the dancing rabbit lady right in front of us. No Do not There is no rabbit at the mega pizza plex Not anymore. I thought I thought that was just normal. I thought it was just a guy walking around I am not why not yet. Do not know I Want to help you please don't betray me. Maybe they want to help you too. No, they don't doubt it I don't think they do You're different Don't think they do okay now good news the front doors will open in five hours Do not panic if we get separated again, you can always call me on your fast watch What if we just sit in here power and I am able to reach you Why don't we just sit in the recharge thing? Why don't we just sit in the recharge thing forever Missions we did that So now what gone into the daycare Do we need to go back out here I'm gonna see Do that real quick that would be a good thing to do. Oh My god. Yes over right Okay, let's get inside you Fredward So now where are we going free Freddy? We did that escape the daycare get to the recharge station So now what now where do we go? We just need to make sure that we don't get Seen by Veronica or anything. We should get moving You can access the main atrium with your new security badge. We get to the main atrium. What even is that? Come back to you Where is the where's the main atrium? What did what did cam office? Is that the main atrium up there? Think it might be I think I have identified two possible exit points.

And bam there was an email from Shark Tank and I thought it was like fake because it was so like simple it was just like hey I'm the executive producer can you just give me a call if you're interested and I'm like what so I called they just said hey do you want to be part of the show I asked them how they found me they've refused to tell me very quick turnaround they tell you like two weeks before and then you just have to be kind of prepared at that moment


Hi everyone, Joe for Jasper's casebreaks.com. Happy Sunday. We got a pack of a prison basketball coming at ya and then that's gonna sell out. Prison Picker Team 17, that's gonna be in the next video. Big thanks to this group for getting in on the action. And there are the teams right there. Let's roll it and randomize it. Six and a six. Yeah, I agree, Sportport. I mean, this is, we wanna keep your personal medical discussions to yourself, Rex. Let's not share that. We don't need to share that with the group. You know, that's a private matter. Six and a six. 12 times for names and teams. Different dice roll for the team giveaway part. One, two, three, six. Yeah, he is James. James Altman looking real good so far. I want him to slump a little bit because I want pitchers to adjust to him and then I wanna see him heat up again. You know, which means that he has adjusted to the adjustments. But I think if I'm looking at his like, for example, I know home runs aren't really the end-all, be-all. But I think he's hitting homers off of different types of pitches in different locations. So I think that's a good sign too. All right, so there's the first half. No trades in these filler breaks. There's the second half right there. And let's just print and rip. Now you just have to own it now, Rex. You have to own the typo. There's the final printout. There's John Collins 125. And that's for the hawk, that'll be for Andrew. Well, Terry, I'm cautiously optimistic. Let's give it to the... I mean, I drafted in my fantasy baseball league so I'm pretty bullish on him, but I don't wanna give him rookie of the year just yet long ways to go. All right, those are the teams that were given away. Top 11 will get a team. Top 11 after seven, 7-11. Five and a two, seven times. There's everybody's names again. Good luck, top 11 after seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time. So 11, there's Justin already with a team, but Jonathan, sorry, very close, but just not quite 12 through 30. Thanks for giving it a shot. Appreciate you. We'll get him next time. Justin, you can see you already got a team, you're in. Oliver, you're in. So it's Jonathan again, Matthew, Jonathan, Scott, Justin, Mark, Steven, P, Peter, and Evan on top. So there you go, top 11 after seven. Here's how it lines up. So Evan, you have the, I guess, what was the highest price team that was remaining? Cause this is in value order, price order. So there you go, congrats Evan. With the Blazers, Peter with the Kings, Steven with the Lakers, Mark with the Nuggets, Justin with the Grizz, Scott with the Celtics, Jonathan with the Pelicans, Matthew with the Sixers, John with the T-Wolves, Oliver with the Clip Show, and Justin with the Bulls. We'll see you in the next video for the break, justbeakscasebreaks.com.


The newest project that I'm excited on about working on through NDSU Extension is the Stepping on Program. This is a series of eight classes for seniors who are at risk for falling. These seniors have expressed concern about falling and they are glad that they're learning about education and exercises to make them stronger. I work with Bale who is from Altru Health Systems. We collaborate to teach these classes to our group of seniors at the senior center. We also include visits from pharmacists, eye doctors and policemen. This has been a very exciting project because we collaborate in the community and people are thankful that we are there.


What oh a green writer. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long Green writer is pretty good Yeah, that's a that's the main thing I can say about it like it's not a very original story like in a lot of ways It's a pretty standard fantasy, but it's done. Well, you know, I had fun reading it I didn't hate any parts of it. I enjoyed all the characters and everything It's just an enjoyable book. The plot follows a girl named Kerrigan and so Kerrigan was Well, she wasn't exactly thrown out of her college, but she ran away from her college for various reasons and While she's on the road. She comes across this green rider who is a member of the king's messenger service That's what the green riders are and he has two arrows in him and he's dying And he says I need to get this message to the capital Please and then she decides you know what this must be important. So she takes the message and takes it to the capital and The problem is that people are after her now because she has it and they don't want the information getting out and Also, there's an ancient evil that's awakening because you know, it's a pretty standard fantasy. So Yeah, you can already tell most everything that's gonna happen in this book from the beginning like the first half is mostly just Kerrigan On the road trying to deliver the message with a couple of brief asides to other characters doing other things And then the second half is what happens after she delivers it and the bad guys are trying to take over and all that stuff So there's really nothing here plot-wise. That's unique or different It's a traditional fantasy story at least so far because it is first book in a series and they're it might change in The future. I don't know I can't say because I haven't read those yet, but you know It's standard fantasy story and just for clarification I did read this book once before but it was when I was probably 13 or 14 So I had forgotten a lot of it, but even sort of knowing what was going to happen Well, I don't think that really affected my enjoyment in any way and that's standard nature Kind of applies to the characters as well Kerrigan is Not bad, but there's really not all that much to her like she's just kind of a Teenage girl who wants to help she's fairly patriotic and she wants to Do something good with her life and she's a you know a decent person she wants to help others But that's that's about it and I guess that this could have gone the route of like the world would have It would be set up to be misogynistic So women wouldn't really have that much of a role and she would have to deal with some of that shit and they'd be Oh women can't be a green rider or something like that But it just kind of ignores that like you know women are in positions of power and stuff all over the place So it's just kind of more that oh, she's a young girl and she's trying to do this which is you know That's fine and she is when she gets into trouble she Kind of gets saved by other people But she also kind of saves herself and I know that sounds a little weird, but basically every time she runs into trouble she Can kind of get her way get her own way most of the way out of it But then something else has to happen or someone else has to help her or she has to get lucky or something like that and That did get a little annoying But at the very beginning in the very end there are Two sequences where she is totally on her own and she totally gets stuff done on her own So not a not a big deal. She's not a useless character or anything and she's you know, she's fine You know, I've been going on a little longer than I initially wanted to but she's a fine character and Maybe she'll get better as the series progresses, but I enjoyed spending the majority of this book with her The villains are a Little bit better. I think because for the most part, they're just you know, they're just evil You know that they want power. They want money. They want land. They want glory whatever Like and the good guys are just there to stop them because in their pursuit of power and glory.  It's not a big deal But this book seems to have no illusions about them being deeper complex characters. It doesn't really treat them that way It's just like yeah, these guys are evil and it just has a little bit of fun with it And they're over the top evil for the most part. There's one or two bits where they are But you know for the most part it is just kind of yeah, they're power hungry assholes And it also makes sense why they would be that way like one of the main villains is this guy named Lord Mirwell And the thing is this world is not really a standard medieval fantasy world in fact so far it's the most original part of the book because It's basically it used to be a standard medieval fantasy world But it's kind of progressing into a more modern age Like it's mentioned that the printing press has been invented and so literacy is on the rise and education is on the rise And it's also mentioned that politically feudalism has kind of given way to an absolute monarchy And so the local lords just don't have much power anymore and also economically feudalism has given way to sort of proto capitalism or I can just say capitalism I guess and so the merchant class is starting to get More power than the old aristocratic class So you can see why Lord Mirwell and other people like him would be Frustrated with their loss of prestige because it's only really been one or two generations since this has happened And you can see why they'd be frustrated and you can like again They're not good people and they're not complex and their motivations aren't complex or anything But you can at least see where they're coming from a little bit You can see why they would be acting this way and that I kind of liked that the main part of the world that is not very original and Like I know this is traditional fantasy story But it did still work me a little bit just because I'm tired of seeing this. It's that magic used to be super powerful and super strong and Super well understood by people, but over the centuries and millennia It's just the knowledge has been lost and so modern people don't know how to do much with magic and it's just this mysterious thing to them and Like that's not a bad thing. It's just I've seen it done so many times in so many different fantasy series like Wouldn't it be neat if magic was like technology and actually progressed so Modern people had a better understanding of magic than old people than the not old people other than their ancestors Wouldn't that be kind of neat like I've seen that done before as well. Don't get me wrong, but still like Just come on that that is one cliche that just bothered me But speaking of magic, I did think that was handled pretty well in this like Kerrigan gets a brooch from the dead green rider And apparently the brooch is our magic and they choose their rider and hers allows her to turn Kind of invisible, but not quite. It's more like translucent So, you know if she's in a foggy area or in the dark or something Then she's basically invisible But if she's just out in the daylight then you can see her just fine And it also sucks away a lot of energy while she uses it So I did like that power and I'm not really spoiling anything she finds it out pretty early on but you know, I liked that power You know, it's limited but still pretty useful and I can see why she would be able to use it Well, there are some other green rider powers which feel a little Well, they feel a little plot now I see But it's nothing that's too egregious At the end of the day this book doesn't have any major issues at least none from me none that bothered me that much But there are a couple of minor ones which dragged it down like for example, I mentioned The bit about magic was kind of annoying. I mentioned that Kerrigan's character Isn't all that great, but that's not really bad so much as it is missed potential The only thing that bothered me that was a major issue or not not even major But the only thing that really dragged down my enjoyment was the action scenes in this are honestly pretty bad like they get described in two maybe three sentences most of the time and that's just kind of over and It's when something like that happens. It's harder for me to Envision what's going on in my head and sometimes I'll just be like, oh, it's over already. Um Okay, that was quick and so because of that the last like third or quarter of the book wound up being kind of difficult for me to get through just because that's when a lot of the action scenes take place and Well, they just aren't that good so it became at the in the end the climax was more of a Fizzle out of the story than it was ending with a bang But that said the climax and the ending it does end in such a way where It leaves itself open for a sequel But I don't think you would need to read the sequels in order to know what's going on because I've never read the sequels like I said I read the this first book like ten years ago and I've been a little curious about what happens next, but I haven't had this burning need to do it because it Wraps up the story more or less the pros gets clunky at times as well like outside of the action scenes and It just gets a little Exposition heavy like the narrator will explain things and it feels a little bit like they're just turning to the camera and explaining stuff to us but It's not too too awful like it doesn't go into an egregious amount of detail about the history of the world or anything And it's not like the characters talk like that to one another So it's really not it's not too big a deal. So that's it for the non-spoiler section I'm gonna have a quick spoiler section after this. So if you don't want to hear about that then green rider It's a good book I think if you're looking for some sort of traditional fantasy or if you're looking to just get into fantasy Like I think I mentioned this in my last video like if you're looking to just get into fantasy and dip your toe in The pool this is a good place to start it doesn't really do anything groundbreaking or anything all that original But it does traditional stuff very well and for that. I think it deserves credit so the only thing I want to talk about in the spoiler section is Jandara now Jandara is one of the bad guys lackeys.  She is just following him because she's in love with him and Apparently she fell in love with him when he was younger and when he was the heir to the throne and when he was going to be king and Apparently he was a bit nicer back then, but he was also still You know a rapist and a crazy person and just just evil, you know He's just an evil dude, but she still fell in love with him and even now That they're older and she should know better and he's actually like hitting her and everything she is still in love with him and It just feels weird like I mean, I'm not saying that You can't be in an abusive relationship and still feel like you love somebody, but It just it just feels weird. It doesn't really feel like she actually loves him.  It just I don't know. It could have been an interesting character study, but it just feels Half-done or not even half-done. It feels like it's a quarter done But that's everything like I said Green Rider pretty good book if you're looking to just read some traditional fantasy or get into the fantasy genre then check it out and I just wanted to thank everybody for watching thanks to all my patrons whose names are here But thanks especially to my $10 up patrons who are Oppo Savillain in brothers and toadies Christopher Hawkins Christopher Quinten Joseph Pendergraft and Tobacco Crow and No, no, no, that's all I didn't miss anything Okay, and if you want to get your name put on here or get early access to my videos or Any of a million other awesome things that you can get then consider giving me money and if you can't do that for whatever reason then just like the video and subscribe and all that and You

My name's Janet and I'm a member of Fincher, which is a community-based garden, three gardens in fact in north Wales. There's one in Hardin, one in Northwick, which is where we are now, and one in Kilkin. They're all very different and basically we grow veg together as a community and on a Friday generally we pick veg from each of the sites and then take it to our hub, which at the moment, because of Covid, we're holding in Northwick, and basically we have a huge selection particularly at this time of year where we have lots of veg from three different sites. I've been a member for about five or six years and Fincher was established about ten years ago. In fact, yes, this is our tenth year that we've been working together. The aim of Fincher is to grow to organic standards and produce food which members can access locally. So it's very local. Most people live within five miles, I would say, of any of the sites and we can produce veg even through lockdown. We've been able to produce veg for our members. But because of the Covid outbreak, we've had to change the way we worked. We were quite worried at the beginning that we wouldn't be able to produce the veg because of the lockdown itself. But in fact, we felt we were producing food and it was a form of work and we knew that we could work safely. So we worked two government guidelines and instead of working on a Tuesday, we worked throughout the week and somebody did a rotor so that there were only two people on the site at any one time. It's three acres so we were able to work well away from one another. I think it probably worked more effectively than it might otherwise have done because there were people who were normally at work who couldn't come on a Tuesday but throughout the lockdown we had huge interest in Fincher, people wanting to join and the work was spread out and at the very beginning of the lockdown we actually had some very, very hot weather and normally watering is quite a problem but because we were dividing our work throughout the week we had people to walk to the crop so actually it worked quite well. During the food scarcity we were still to a point able to access our veg locally in the same way as we always have been able to and one of the additional benefits during lockdown has been that people have been able to get out into the fresh air to work and talk at a distance so I think in terms of mental and physical wellbeing it's a really good thing. It is just for members but we did have a surge in people showing interest in wishing to join Flintshire at the time and we've probably run along with a membership somewhere between 65 and 75-ish for a long time and we're currently close to 100, in fact we've capped it at 100 because we've only got the same amount of land and we would find it difficult to produce for more than the membership to be truthful. I think we were perhaps a little ahead of our time. There is a lot of concern about global warming, transporting beans for example from Kenya or asparagus from Peru. We tend to eat seasonally and the veg that we have as I say most members live within about five miles of any of the sites and so I think the mileage in terms of fuel and CO2 emissions is reduced. So at the moment it's just perfect really. Well the hub as we call it is something that we hold on a Saturday. Traditionally we would rotate between the three sites, prop the veg on a Friday and take the veg to whichever site was holding the hub. Through lockdown we've had to change this so now we're at the north of site which is very spacious, there's plenty of parking and for the foreseeable future this is where we'll hold our hubs. So we're still operating in a similar way in that we crop the vegetables fruit and veg on a Friday and then bring them to the hub on the Saturday morning so later on this morning we'll have an array of marrows, courgettes, tomatoes, aubergines, lots of lovely veg. I don't know if anybody else does it, I think we've just kind of evolved this way. I don't really know, I mean with allotments I guess people swap some of these grown beans and some of these grown tomatoes, you might swap your veg but this is done in an intentional way. We don't use very much money at all. It is a cashless model essentially where members work in exchange for veg and they have a veg account which they submit at the end of each month. If they're in credit then they don't pay for veg. If they're in debit they can work a few more hours or they can top up the cash later on. The positives from having an association with Horticultural Wales has been that we've been able to link up with other similar groups doing different things, maybe not gardening but composting, growing fruit and we've been able to meet one another and share ideas. So yeah lots of good things come out of having an association with Horticultural Wales. I think it's fantastic. If you think of the model of allotments people have their own sites and you'll find that everybody is growing similar things at the same time of year. So come you know, August, July, August time everybody but everybody's got run of beans and there are only so many run of beans you can eat and give to friends and put in the freezer. Also if you go on holiday if you have an allotment you might be worrying about getting things watered. The beauty of Flintshire is that you can come and work as much or as little as you like. There are some people who work only two or four hours a week, there are people who work eight hours a week or more and the beauty of it is that you can go on holiday and know that somebody else is taking care of the crops.


Hi and welcome to our session. Let us discuss the following question. The question says, in each of the exercises having to 12, find the equation of the parabola that satisfies the given conditions. Given conditions are vertex at 0, 0 and coordinates of focus at 3, 0. Before solving this question, we should know that if the parabola has vertex at the origin focus at point a, 0 and direct fixed, x equals to minus a, then the equation of parabola is of the palm y square equals to 4ax. This is one of the standard equations of parabola. Now, given this in one, let us now begin the distribution. Now clearly, the coordinates of the focus that is 3, 0 lies on the positive side of x-axis. The axis of the axis of the parabola and this parabola opens to the right, like in this video. Now, we have learned that if the parabola has vertex at the origin, focus at the point a, 0 and direct fixed, x equals to minus a, then equation of parabola is of the palm y square equals to 4ax. Now here, since the focus of required parabola in the form of a, 0, its vertex is at the origin, required equation parabola is of the palm y square equals to 4ax. Now here, we are given that a is equal to 3, so on putting a as 3 in this equation, we get y square equals to 4 into 3 into x. This implies y square equals to 12x. Hence, a required equation of parabola is y square equals to 12x. This completes the session. Bye and take care.
