Team Keep it Clean, welcome to another episode of Questions From Sub. Before we get into this episode, I gotta give a special shout out to some of the newest Team Keep it Clean patrons. My guy Robert D, Jordan, Arthur, David, Paul, just appreciate everybody that's become a Team Keep it Clean patron, especially with everything that's going on. As y'all know, shout out to Freelance and in the building, but I love y'all. I love y'all. Now, getting into this first question, it came from my guy, John D, who was also a new Team Keep it Clean patron. He's been a patron for four days, so I appreciate it, John. Now, obviously with the Ravens placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson, that does put them about nine mil over the cap. But his question, and well, I guess we're gonna have to remix it a little bit because his question was, do you think the Ravens can improve their roster if Lamar gets the non-exclusive tag? I'm thinking a 45 mil cap hit would be roster flexibility suicide for the Ravens. So, obviously this was sent before the Ravens officially placed the franchise tag on Lamar Jackson, but it ended up being the non-exclusive tag. But how does this, as far as them improving their roster, he's obviously referring to free agency. And it definitely impacts a big time. I was literally just talking to my guy, bet about this on Instagram, about how this impacts free agency. And he said, hey, it's a fun time to be a Ravens fan right now. Well, that was kind of sarcastic, but because he said it's frustrating because it's just so much up in the air and we just gotta wait it out. We did, that's all we can do is just wait it out and see what happens. But the way that this impacts free agency, one by March 15th, because that's when free agency starts, that's when the Ravens, they have to be under the cap by March 15th. They gotta be under the cap by then. Right now, according to Brian McFarland, they're about nine mil over and we talked about in the previous video some of the potential moves that they could make to get under the cap. So we gotta wait and see what happens with that. But then on top of that, you're gonna wanna have some money to sign some players that you may be potentially interested in. And what my guy, Bet, had brought out, which was a really good point. Like, hey, okay, how was the whole thing going on with Lamar gonna impact that? I was like, well, yeah, the Ravens, they're gonna wanna try to get this whole thing with Lamar sorted out sooner rather than later. But now with Lamar, he holds the cards with that. He holds the cards with that because it all depends on obviously what teams are interested in him, what teams he's interested in. But if he doesn't sign an office sheet, then that 32 mil just sits there. It just sits there and nothing can be done about it until Lamar decides, all right, or a team decides, like, all right, we interested in you, we wanna sign you to this office sheet. And he's like, okay, let's get it. Then the Ravens could either match or decline and whatnot, but throughout this whole process, free agency is gonna start. Free agency is gonna start, so they're gonna be players that are coming out of free agency and the Ravens may want somebody. The Ravens may have a guy that they like, a couple of guys that they like at different positions and whatnot. And they may be like, hmm, oh, we really like him. And they may even give that person an offer. They may offer that person a deal. But then that person, depending on what position it is and whatnot, offense or defense, it all depends on that. But that person may look at the Lamar situation and be like, ooh, all right, I don't know. And whatever's going on with the Lamar situation at that time, that could potentially turn them off from the Baltimore Ravens. There could be guys where the Ravens wanna make an offer, but because of everything going on right now, cause they kinda tied right now. They tied up a little bit right now, but because everything that's going on, they may be like, hey, we ain't got the bread for it. We want this free agent. We want that free agent. We want that free agent, but oh, we can't really do it right now. Now, of course, when there's a will, there's a way. But Ravens, they're gonna have to make a way. They're gonna have to figure it out. And they're gonna have to figure it out fast. And now they did talk about it and like, and we knew that they would talk about it. The contingency plans, they have to have that. They have to have contingency plans for every single situation. Again, as a business, as a franchise, as a company, you have to have contingency plans for everything that could possibly and may possibly go wrong, go right, go left, go right, go all that good stuff. So they better have a plan in place for Lamar being on this non-exclusive tag. I mean, they gotta have a plan in place cause they put them on a non-exclusive tag. So they knew the price tag that would come with it would it be in about a little over 32 mil in cap space. So it's like they just gotta deal with it accordingly. But it definitely has a big impact on free agency, of course. They've been trying to sign him to a deal, but it just, it ain't worked out so far. It ain't worked out so far. So the sooner, for Raven's sake, the sooner that this thing gets cleared up, the better, and that's whether it goes left or if it goes right. But the sooner, because that will allow them to know exactly how they're gonna move forward with everything. And I mean the same for Lamar too. The sooner it gets cleared up, whether it goes left or it goes right, the sooner he'll know how he's gonna move forward. And whether that's with the Baltimore Ravens or it ends up being with some other team. But as far as free agency, yeah, it does make things more complicated for the Baltimore Ravens on their side. But again, this is something that they gotta plan for. Sometimes timing can be so funny, man. I'm recording this on March 9th at 11.42 a.m. And just like, right at the end, when we finished that first question about how Lamar's whole thing impacts free agency and we were talking about how the Ravens, with the move and everything, right now they sitting at about nine mil over the cap, they traded Chuck Clark. They traded Chuck Clark. Like right after we finished that first question, they traded Chuck Clark. So now instead of them being nine mil over the cap, there'll be about five mil over the cap since the move them trading Chuck Clark to the Jets for a 2024 seventh rounder. So not even this year, but next year. But anyway, that will, yeah, there'll be about a five mil over the cap now. So they're getting closer to answer. They still got some more moves to make. So we're still gonna watch out for that. But I just thought that, I thought that was funny, just the timing of everything. But anyway, next question. And next question came from Raven Pride. He said, ain't Raven has it going. Things are going pretty good. I appreciate you, man. He said, I hope you and the fam are doing well. And I'm gonna get straight to the point. This organization, the Ravens is about as dirty as they can be.  But anyway, let's keep going.  Oh, they're a lot that will. I mean, anyway, let's keep going. He said, I gave my all to the Ravens because I believe that this was one of the most respected organizations in NFL. When you give this man a non-exclusive tag in teams that know there ain't no Lamar Jackson sitting around and say that they will pass, you did a trifling thing by siding owners to not bid on Lamar. And Raven, I say to you, I've been a Ravens fan from day one, but even if the Ravens somehow are able to keep him, I at this time will say to you, I lost all respect for this organization. That's powerful right there. But you gotta remember, it's a business. It's a business, it's a nasty business, but it is a business and in business, owners are in business to make money, but then at the same time, while owners are in business to make money, they wanna keep all of their own money that they possibly can. And they don't want this whole guaranteed contract thing. So it obviously was, obviously Lamar right now is the biggest name with this whole thing. He's sort of the pawn in this whole thing. But they just don't want this whole guaranteed contract thing to become the norm. So they're gonna band together, they're gonna just lock in arms together and hold each other's hands and be like, no, we can't let this happen. We don't want this to happen. So, I mean, that's business, man. Next question came from my God, Juan. G said, Anthony Richardson, Baltimore, you can't deny the guy's talent, just pure power. I mean, who knows what's gonna happen with the Ravens in that whole quarterback situation right now, it's just so up in the air. Next question came from Miss Too Much and this was sent before the Ravens applied the franchise tag to Lamar. She said, playtime is over, push the button. Greetings and Ravens, so wonderful to see you smiling and back to your high level energy. I'm so appreciative to our Team Keep It Clean family for having your back and showing so much love. That's what we need more of. Yeah, Team Keep It Clean, y'all the best, man. It's like straight up, but y'all know that already. Okay, onto the subject we all dread to even consider. Playtime is over. Like the little girl from Rush Hour said, push the button. My friend, I feel it's time for the Ravens to push that button. Let me explain. In my opinion, they've played around with them all for five years.  He's turned this franchise around, made them a winner again, and he's generated a grand amount of revenue for them as well. Yet still, they refuse to properly compensate him. I can envision it now. EDC at the table trying to chip away at the bag by telling Lamar how he loves him, but well, you know, Lamar, you've been injured the last two seasons. We're concerned about your longevity, yada, yada, yada, all that fodder. And that's expected though. That's expected. Lamar, as a business, as a contractor whatnot, he gotta use everything that he can do to boost his stock up, to boost his worth up. He said, A, I'm the quarterback. A, I gotta be the lead in Russia. A, y'all don't really give me much to work with. A, this, that, and the third. Eric DeCosta, he's gotta use everything that he can to bring Lamar's value down. Hey, you missed a handful of games over the last two seasons. Hey, the whole guarantee contract thing? No, that ain't normal.  That's negotiations. So it's no shock or surprise or anything like that, but let's keep going. He said, don't get me wrong. To a certain degree, these points can be a concern if one only looks at it on the surface. But we know that the Ravens have overused Lamar and drastically underused the talent they do have and have never acquired any proven elite talent to compliment him and their young offensive talent. You know, there's that. And to be honest, I'm having difficulty believing that they will acquire any proven elite wide receivers this season either. Yeah, I agree. He said, yes, they hired Monk and I do feel he'll have a positive effect on the offense. Yeah, we hope so. However, Lamar really has been calling for them to get a dog or two at the wide receiver position. You can tell he wants to have a plethora of weapons just as most of his counterparts do, but they just haven't been willing to do it. On top of that, they are refusing to pay him even though he's already earned it. From a business perspective, Steve knows this. He's a billionaire. They see things differently than most. The main reason they don't want to pay him is because they don't want to be the franchise to set that precedent. And yeah, that's something that we talked about a lot too. That's really a shame. They believe they are so sure no other owner will pull the trigger and pay him a fully guaranteed bag, but they are wrong. See, I think you were like halfway right with that. You said that they are so sure that no other owner will pull the trigger. Well, they obviously had plenty of conversation with the other owners. And again, actually you're not halfway wrong or halfway right because we'll see. We don't know. So I take that back. My apologies. I take that back because it's not March 15th yet. March 15th, that's when things can start. That's when Lamar can start negotiating. But we won't know until he signs the office sheet or the Ravens come to it or whatever happens. We won't know until we actually know. And she continued and said, but they are wrong. So I say push the button, put the non-exclusive deal on Lamar and see how fast these offers come in. And guess what? It'll be a couple of offers from some of the very owners who've been in those closed door meetings admonishing Steve not to give that guaranteed deal. But they all said this because they thought Lamar would cave in but he has not. Trust me, they are all in utter shock. Every one of them vastly underestimated Lamar in his team's business acumen. See, hey, that could happen. Cause again, and again, she sent this before, before they put the franchise tag on him. She sent this way before.  We're gonna see. Like we're gonna see what goes down when it comes to starting on March 15th. If them offers start pouring in and whatnot it's gonna be interesting, man. Because yeah, those teams they came out with the reports came out about those teams saying, oh, they're not gonna pursue them. Oh, they're not interested. Oh, go Kirk. All right, we gotta see. Cause they, even if they were interested they can't say anything now. They can't do anything now. So there's that. Anyway, she said, but if Lamar becomes available which the non exclusive tag essentially makes him a free agent from the sense of how active the market will be if the Ravens pull it. He's not lasting on that tag. Those same owners who never thought he'd be available will eat some humble pie and whatever other kind of pie they are gonna offer him the kitchen sink and then some they might even throw in a lawn mower too. Hello, hello. And sadly Ravens won't match it. Lamar leaves, goes off into a Super Bowl within one or two seasons with his new team. Then where does that leave these Ravens? Oh, and that's gonna be something that's interesting too. If and when Lamar is offered or assigned to an office sheet, how's it gonna look? How's it gonna be constructed? And will the Ravens match it? Now, I know most people are feeling like, yeah, the Ravens are gonna match whatever. But again, it's just one of these things. We just gotta wait it out and see. She also said, a pity to think about, but I say if they're not gonna pay him properly and provide true weapons, then do us best for him. Put the non exclusive tag on them and let these other teams prove to you just how much of a gym you had. So to my beloved Ravens, let that young man be free to be the best version of himself. It's not about you anymore. Lamar made it all about y'all for five long years. He didn't reciprocate. So playtime is over, recess is out. Push that button. And you know just what I mean. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, I done made it. I done made it. Boy, that's my homie, ain't that right in Ravens? Right in Ravens. I know we a little bit late, but welcome to another episode of questions from ourselves. You can ask whatever question you want to, and we answer in a video just like this. If you wanna be part of it, for the team, keep it clean. Patrons, y'all can send your question directly on Patreon. For everybody else, you can send an email to teamkeepitclean at gmail.com and we'll hopefully answer your question in a video just like this. Now, next question came from my guy, Jordan. He said, Lamar Jackson thoughts. How you doing? Love the content. Been subscribed for a long time and now my thoughts, I appreciate that, Jordan. He said, my thoughts is the way to things are panning out. Lamar has all the leverage. He knows the backlash the front office will get if he walks and goes on to win a ring elsewhere. That is why EDC doesn't want to lose him, but he also isn't an offensive minded manager and all the top free agents we had money for in the past, he's skeptical about paying a lot for. He knows his job will be up for grabs if you cannot replace a QB. That's as versatile as Lamar Jackson. My opinion, what the front office will do is sign him to an exclusive tag, hold out until July and see what the draft will look like. And if we draft the quarterback in the later rounds, hence, then Stesson Bennett, then we all know what will happen in July and lobby for more picks while rebuilding. If we do not draft the quarterback and make a logical decision and move up by trading Queen, Chuck Clark, oh, oh, you got that one. And other players and invest in an office that's versatile to what our coordinator wants, then we know we have something good. Sorry. I want, see, that'll be interesting to see if this thing goes beyond the draft. Because if it goes beyond the draft, then more teams could possibly be a part of it. More teams could possibly be interested in Lamar. But again, it's one of them things we won't know till we know. I don't think them drafting Stetson Bennett, if he even gets drafted, because if he's an undrafted free agent, if he doesn't get drafted, then I'm like a thousand percent sure Ravens are gonna sign him. But I don't think that will have, either way, like if he gets drafted, I think he'll get drafted late, like maybe six or seventh round. But if he doesn't get drafted, I don't think that'll have any impact on Lamar Jackson at all. But hey, we'll see how things go. Next question came from my guy, Joshua A. He said, the term good faith says a lot. What's going on in Graven? Hope all is well there in Florida. There is a term that EDC has been thrown around since the tag conversations began, good faith. It's the same team, excuse me, it's the same term loan companies use to hold on to a client when negotiating a settlement right before the end of the month deadline. They essentially settle for a really low good faith payment, just so the conversation for the negotiation can continue freely without the pressure of a deadline. So when EDC says good faith, I interpreted it as the March 7th deadline was too soon. Lamar, we're gonna give the NFL the tag they want to see just to beat the deadline. But me and you will keep talking under the table in good faith that you'll sign with us before July and not with another team, no matter the offer. It benefits both parties. Ravens get to pay less and keep more cap space in room. In the meantime, Lamar gets to see his market value and get perspective from the deals coming to Burrow and Herbert. All of this is done in good faith between Lamar and EDC. Raven, do you think this is the case? Anyways, if I read this wrong, I'll need to... You said if I read this wrong, I'll need to buy different things Jersey next year. If I read it right, we'll see an extension before July. Have a great day. Appreciate you, Josh. Yeah, I mean, with the franchise tag, that's what the franchise tag is. It's an extension on a deadline. They had till March 7th, like you mentioned, to sign them to a deal. And if they couldn't come up with a deal with them, then they would have to place the franchise tag on them. That gives them an additional extension till July 15th, because that's when you can no longer sign your franchise players to long-term extensions anymore. And they will have to play under the tag or they can sit out under the tag, whichever they prefer. So yeah, you're right. Now, again, we do hope that this extension comes with the Ravens, but if it doesn't, I wonder what Jersey you're gonna have to get. Next question came from my guy Tyler G. He says, Steve Bishotti's way or the highway? And Raven, I can't even say I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits when the Ravens have the entire flock losing their minds as we speak. Now, that non-exclusive tag has been placed on Lamar and he is now eligible to seek office from other teams. Do we think this is Mr. Bishotti's master plan? I think so for sure, but let me hear you out. He said, it has been reported multiple times that Super, oh, Steve Bishotti, I was about to say Super Bowl, because I saw he put SB, but it has been reported multiple times that Steve Bishotti and other NFL owners were not thrilled when Deshaun Watson was given a fully guaranteed deal last season. However, if another team were to enter the Lamar sweepstakes and offer him a fully guaranteed deal and the Ravens were to match it, would this be Steve Bishotti's way of justifying this decision? Yeah, for sure, it would be. For sure. Cause they would just like confirm what all the owners or all the 30 other owners, what they don't want to happen unless there's another owner in there that soups in and be like, hey, Lamar, there you go, 100% guaranteed, but anyway, let's see. Obviously NFL owners are trying to avoid fully guaranteed deals, but if another team were to make that offer and the Ravens matched it, would that be Steve Bishotti's justification for the cause? Let me know your thoughts, keep spreading love and positivity and like EDC, if things go south, I'm out. Hey, no, I think that, yeah, like you said, if the owner signs Lamar to that offer sheet, and it's not fully guaranteed, that helps. That helps Steve Bishotti and what he's talked about. I'm sure what a bunch of other owners have talked about too, behind closed doors and whatnot. But again, if there's a owner that's willing to put his chest out like that and be like, you know what, I'm going against the grain, then that could, and then the Ravens will be put in the predicament like, okay, okay, do we match? So would they match? If it's fully guaranteed and it's a lot of money, like if it safe instance is 300 mil fully guaranteed, that'd be crazy. I don't think it'll get that high. But if it's a deal and it's safe instance is a 300 mil deal and it's two, what the shan got, 230. It's a 300 mil deal and it's like 232 guaranteed. Do the Ravens match it? It's crazy because we just don't know. We don't know what they're gonna do. I know again, like we talked about earlier, so many people feel like the Ravens are definitely gonna match whatever comes their way. But would there be a team that will really just try to throw a wrench in the whole thing? Life after Lamar, hope not. Next question came from my guy, Jay Fire. He said, ain't gravy, it's your boy Jay Fire. He'll help you in the fam of doing well. Praying for your situation and I appreciate you pushing through this freelance phase and still delivering that Ravens news.  I appreciate that, Jay Fire. And shout out to Freelancers in the building. He said, don't know when you will be reading this, but hopefully when you do, we still have Lamar. So yeah, we do for now. He said, we still have Lamar and have signed him to a long-term deal. Okay, another boy. But however, I'm the painful and nightmarish case, or in the painful and nightmarish case, Lamar is not signed and traded. What direction would you want the team to go quarterback-wise? I've heard Anthony Richardson as a draft pick, but he is like Lamar and I actually would be mad if we drafted him because in offense to Anthony, you would be getting the great value version of Lamar instead of the real deal. So if we trade Lamar, I'd want to get a quarterback CJ Stroud or Will Leavis from Kentucky. What are your thoughts? What QB would you want? Again, I hope this is just a fantasy situation that we will laugh at later, but in case it's our new reality, let me know what you think. I hope your YouTube situation gets resolved and blessings on you, man. Peace, appreciate that, Jay Fire. Yeah, as far as Anthony Richardson, I haven't looked too much at any of the quarterbacks. I've only seen little highlights here and there. With Anthony Richardson, I've seen the explosive plays. I also think I read something that said he completed, what, 53% of his passes in college, something like that. But anyway, I feel like almost whatever you do would be a downgrade if there is no Lamar. And I would just be scared for, say for instance, they draft somebody, they draft the quarterback, because I've seen so many people throw out the scenario. Say for instance, Lamar is traded, oh, they draft the quarterback, whether they draft Anthony Richardson, Leavis, Stroud, who else is out there? I forgot the other ones. But anyway, whether this year or next year, if they draft the quarterback, say for instance, they do that. I've been seeing people throw out the scenario, oh, well they could really build weapons and get weapons for this quarterback. He'd be on a rookie deal, he'd be saving a lot of money, da-da-da-da-da. My thought process would be like, okay, so where was all this, where was this energy before? Why didn't they do that before? Where was this investment before? Why wait till now? My biggest fear, and I wouldn't have a problem with them doing that for a new quarterback, because I would hope that the Ravens learned their lesson with their previous quarterbacks, their previous franchise quarterbacks, if Lamar ends up being a previous franchise quarterback for the Ravens and he wouldn't be of the current or future franchise quarterback for the Ravens, which is the scenario that we're discussing. But I would just wonder like, why didn't they do it for him? And then I would wonder too, would their mindset really change just because they got a new quarterback? Would they be like, all right, well yeah, let's really invest in the offense now big time if they got a new quarterback? And I don't know, we wouldn't know till we know, but I just really wouldn't be convinced that, oh, the Ravens mindset and everything would just change overnight. So that would be my biggest fear. Next question came from my guy Stanley. He said, do you notice the NFL setting a statement through Lamar Jackson to the rest of the players? Oh yeah, they definitely trying to do that, for sure. But at the same time, it's early. It's very early. We got a little less than a week till he can start talking to people. And he may add a little conversations like behind the scenes and stuff, but we got a week till he can officially start talking to people and he can officially start, or they can officially start off in him a deal.  They don't want him being a pioneer and really setting this whole thing on fire. Cause if he does that, like if he is able to get a fully guaranteed contract, which it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen, but if he is able to get a fully guaranteed contract, we don't even know if he wants that. We just don't know. Some reports have said that he does. Some reports have said that he doesn't, but if he was able to get a fully guaranteed contract and he's able to do it without no agent. Oh my goodness, NFL would hate that. Agents would hate it. Owners would hate it. So yeah, they definitely try to send a message to Lamar, but we'll see if that message gets received or it's declined. Collusion, next question came from my guy, Inonic. He said, I hope you're in a family of feeling and doing better since YouTube's monetary mistake. It's all good, man. And getting that team, keep it clean, we'll make it through and come back stronger. My question for you is, do you believe there will be a coordinated effort of collusion between the current NFL owners, not only not to give Lamar a guaranteed deal, but also offer a deal between Les Watson and Murray to make an example of him? So between Les Watson and Murray, I'll be glad when your 30-day wait is over and you can start freelancing. Yeah, I will be too, man. Hopefully it does get approved right away, because that's another little scary part that I've been thinking about. What if we reapply and they deny it? So, but I mean, we'll see, because then I believe if you reapply and they deny it, you gotta wait another 30 days. So we'll just see, man. I ain't gonna worry about it right now. But anyway, as far as what you said, not to give Lamar a guaranteed deal, but also offer a deal between Les Watson and Murray to make an example of him. I think there will definitely be people that would wanna offer less than Deshaun Watson. I mean, every deal that's been after Deshaun Watson has been less than Deshaun Watson, because his is the upper echelon deal of the deals. And it's fully guaranteed, like fully, all the way. That's your, that's all Deshaun's money, all of it. So, but as far as it being less than Kyla Murray's, ooh, to make an example of him, I mean, you could try that, but he just wouldn't sign an offer sheet. So I don't think they can really, I don't think that would really move anything if somebody offered him a deal less than Kyla Murray's because he wouldn't sign an offer sheet, so nothing will come of it. Next question came from my boy Kevin B. He said, I like the non-exclusive tag move, because now the Ravens don't have to keep trying and trying as the Ravens been saying. Another thing I didn't want to see is them trying to play him under the tag. Oh, you mean the exclusive tag. And then he gets hurt one or three games into the season and don't play the rest of the season. That's a lot of money that's sitting on the table if he gets hurt playing under the tag. But see, that's the thing. My opinion, because again, this is just something that I had been saying for a long time, if it ended up getting to the franchise tag, which we're here now, I don't think he would play under the franchise tag. So I don't even think you would have to worry about your scenario. And the last question on this episode came from my boy Flirtin and Winsky. He said, what's good? It's your boy Flirtin and Winsky back again. Hope all is well with you and yours per usual. Appreciate it, man. He said, bro, did EDC ruin the franchise? The Lions got a haul for Stafford. They added the non-exclusive. So say the Dolphins give him the contract he wants and the Ravens don't beat the offer. Lamar goes for one first. No, he would go for two first, two. He said, oh, he said, this is a joke, bro. Then if the Ravens matched the offer, you would be paying more than you would have been paying in the first place just to beat another team's offer. Bro, am I tripping? Or if, say for instance, what if a team offers a deal that's lower than what the Ravens originally offered? Then they will save a little bit of bread. So this whole thing could go either way. It could go so many different ways, man. That obviously would be him either playing for the Ravens or not. So those are the two ways it could go. But anyway, he said, and to be completely honest, the Ravens organization haven't slapped Lamar in the face. They have spit in Lamar's face. If it was any speculation of a rift between Lamar and the front office, this screams the start of a big rift shaking my head. They could have just signed him years ago. Due to the big holes Lamar feels, once he's gone, they will see the grass. Isn't greener, but look, bro, on the bright side, we will have a lot to talk about for the next five, for the next at least five years, winning two games a year. I'm gonna still be here bringing the heat. Peace and blessings. Oh, that's scary to think about. Now I don't think they will be that bad. But I mean, everything all depends. I mean, everything all depends on how stuff works itself out. Something that we talked about a while back. Just a while back is that if it got to the franchise tag, things could get really ugly.  So far with all the different reports of the team saying that, oh, we're not gonna be going after Lamar and it's okay, okay. But again, like this whole process, this whole situation, it's just a wait-and-see approach. So we'll keep waiting and then we'll see what ends up happening, what ends up going up, what ends up going down and we'll just go from there. I love y'all team, keep it clean. I appreciate y'all watching this episode. Shout out to everybody who sent in the question. And just like hopefully Lamar doesn't end up being, but we out. Yeah, this feels like a dream. And you know just what I mean. You two team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like automated. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right engraving? Right engraving, right engraving, right engraving. Shout out to engraving.


Biological databases store biological data and their main objectives are data storage, information retrieval and knowledge discovery. Biological databases can be classified as primary databases that store the primary sequences and those primary sequences are then annotated and put into secondary databases. Whereas the specialized databases, they are dedicated towards say some specific organisms or you can have like disease data. Polagical databases can also be classified on the basis of the type of data they contain. For example, they can be protein databases or nucleotide databases, they can be protein databases, they can be RNA, genomes or gene expression databases. The issues which are in general, generally which are present in all other databases, similar issues are seen in biological databases that may be correlated with the relatively slow pace of quality assurance techniques as compared to the pace with which new data is coming. So those issues are similar like redundancy, inconsistency and incompatibility. Whereas now we talk about nucleotide sequence databases. So nucleotide sequence databases are the types of biological databases which store nucleotide sequence data in it. That can be CDNA or EST or DNAS. Here we have the diagram where we have a genomic DNA, we have different exons. As we know in eukaryotes we have exons and introns. So exons they get transcribed into messenger RNA and we can get CDNA from that messenger RNA through reverse transcription. And then we can store that CDNA into our databases. Whereas the ESTs are subsets within those CDNAs. Nucleotide sequence databases they were first assembled into GeneBank. That was back in 1982 at Los Alamos National Laboratory, LANL, under the leadership of Walter Gould. GeneBank is now working under the umbrella of NCBI. NCBI stands for National Center for Biotechnology Information. So it's a central repository that stores multiple types of biological data which includes genomes, we have their assemblies, we have their sequencing data, we have their expression data and what not. In this diagram we see the page where you can search for any kind of data. There is a drop-down list so that provides you different options. Here is the page for GeneBank. So if you want to look about nucleotides and genome sequences this is the best resource. Whereas NCBI was established at United States. Europeans they established EMBL which was European Molecular Biology Lab which is established in 1980. Same way in Japan there was the establishment of DNA and Databank of Japan, DDBJ that established in 1984. And all of them they get together into an international collaboration which we name as international nucleotide sequence database collaboration. INSTC that is a collaboration between DDBJ and CBI. And here in this diagram you see here is ENA, European Nucleotide Archive, Oblig EBI. So EMBL they established EBI, European Bioinformatics Institute especially to deal with the bioinformatics kind of stuff. And within them they have established ENA that is European Nucleotide Archive to take care of the sequence DNA sequence data sets. Here is the page for INSTC. As you can see the all three collaborators their logos are there. Same way if you look into the data we can have next-gen sequence reads, we can have capital reads and we can also have information about different samples and slides in this first page. So we can get our next-generation sequence data from this archive also which we will when we go further in this course we will start playing with that kind of data. If we look into the growth of gene bank, if we look into the number of bases in the gene bank now they are uncountable in trillions and so big numbers starting in somewhere in 1982. And if we look into this curve flu is the growth of gene bank and red ones are also we are comparing here the whole genome sequences which are starting somewhere in 2003 or 4 after the publication of the human genome project. So if we look into those number of bases it seems like they double every 18 months so the growth is huge exponential. Same way if we look into the sequences they are also somewhere around thousands of them somewhere in 1982 but now they are more than 100 million sequences in this gene bank. So in the end we conclude that biological databases this store biological data and we look into the INSTC which is a collaboration between the AMBL and CBI and DDBJ. And the growth of data in the databases is exponential if you look into gene bank it is like the data is doubling every 18 months.


Hello everyone, myself Professor Prithish Chittay working in mechanical engineering department as an assistant professor in waltz and dystop technology. In this session we will learn the taper turning methods that will be a second part. Now the students will be able to explain the different methods of taper turning operation also they can solve the problem based on the methods of taper turning operations. Now we will have the quick recap of the fourth session also we will learn the two methods of taper turning operation that is the taper turning by the swiveling the compound rest and taper turning using the taper turning attachment which is a separate attachment. Now the quick recap of the fourth session what we have learnt in the taper turning by tailstock setover where after loosening the screw which is provided in the tailstock we can slide the tailstock may be the away from the operator or may be the towards the operator by that you will have the angle for the workpiece and the tool will have the motion parallel to the axis of the rotation and by relative motion between the tool and the workpiece you will get the taper turning operation and where x is equal to l into d1 minus d2 by 2l and d1 minus d2 by 2l is tan alpha and capital L is the total length of the workpiece and x is the length of the tailstock setover. The second method where the taper turning by the form or the broadness tool this is the form tool this is the workpiece which is fixed in the the three jaw check and this is a form tool which is already having the taper angle and you will have the cross fit there will be the relative motion between the workpiece and the tool and you will have the very short taper up to 20 mm length only means these two operations that can be used for the very small amount of taper turning operation. Now after that we will move to the the main part but before that you are having very simple question what is the formula for the total taper and the taper angle just write down in your paper just go through the figure and have the answer with you now the third method the taper turning by the swiveling the compound rest as you can see in the figure this is the workpiece this is the cross slide this is the compound rest which is placed on the saddle now you can see this is the compound rest where the cutting tool is attached in the compound rest there will be the tool post and in the tool post the workpiece or maybe the tool is attached here now whenever you are loosening the bolt and the nut which is present in the compound rest so you can provide or you can swivel the compound rest through the angle alpha so that you can have the taper turning operation now how to get the angle now for example we are having the swiveling plate here below to the compound rest so by loosening the screw which is present on the the swiveling plate you can swivel this compound rest also the swiveling plate and you can mark the graduation maybe the 15 15 degree or maybe the 20 degree that you want and you can provide the taper turning operation by swiveling simultaneously the compound rest and the swiveling plate and we are also having the gradation for the angles in degrees so here and suppose i want to slide this the particular compound rest you are having the compound rest screw with the help of this just by rotating this screw you can get the the field in this direction which is parallel to the axis of the rotation now here what will be the angle for the compound rest that should be swivel and that can be achieved by that is tan alpha or maybe the taper angle that is d1 minus d2 that divided by 2l that already we are knowing that so alpha is equal to tan inverse of d1 minus d2 divided by 2l where l is the length of the job d1 and d2 are the major and minor diameter respectively we will see the simple numericals based on the the method that we have discussed a steel piece 100 mm long is tapered turn for a length of 40 mm from its one end diameter of the work piece is 20 mm and the smaller end of the tapered part end in a point find the angle through which the compound rest should be swivelled in order to turn the required taper so we are having the data d1 is equal to 20 mm d2 is equal to 0 l is equal to 100 mm and small l is equal to 40 mm so we are having the formula that is tan alpha is equal to d1 minus d2 divided by 2l so here d1 is 20 mm d2 is 0 as provided in the problem statement and capital l is equal to 100 and l is equal to 40 so with the help of this we can get the alpha is equal to 14 degrees two inches so we will move to the next problem calculate the angle of which the compounder should be swivelled in order to turn the taper with the help of following dimensions we are having the d1 is equal to one inch d2 is equal to 0.75 and l is equal to 1.5 by providing these values in the simple formula that is tan alpha is equal to d1 minus d2 divided by 2l where tan alpha is equal to 1 minus 0.75 divided by 2 into 1.5 and after that we will get alpha is equal to 4 degree so these are the very simple numerical based on the taper turning operation by the methods swivelling the compound rays and the swivelling plate so this is a very simple method for the taper turning operation by swivelling or by rotating through the angle alpha swivelling plate and the compound rays simultaneously and this is also used for the very shorter length for the taper turning operation now we will move to the next method and the last method which is called as taper turning operation with the help of taper turning attachment this is very famous method why the answer is that here there will be no limitations because the compound rest the cross slide and the saddle can be sliding on the bed wage of the lathe from one end to another end so there will not be any limitations so we can say that we can have the taper turning operation for the wider range so for example so what will be the limitations suppose you want the taper angle 16 degrees up to 16 degrees yes you can provide or suppose you want the taper turning length up to 230 or maybe the 240 length yes you can provide the taper length up to 240 mm also so this is the wider range for the taper turning for the taper turning attachment so what will be the working principle for this taper turning attachment now you can see in the figure there are the different components we will go through the different components first this is the bracket this is the main bracket here which is which consists of a graduated scale for the angle after that this is the guiding plate in the guiding plate you are having a particular slot here and in the slot as you are having this block so this slot or maybe the block B is sliding here but here first of all whenever we are providing the angle to the guiding plate by the angle alpha so this block will slide in the angle alpha and this is attached to directly to the compound rest so here the compound rest is separated from the saddle so whenever you are sliding the cross slide lever so directly the block will be sliding here so you are providing the angle alpha means you are having the particular angle to the this particular tool means you are having the taper turning operation directly so only this guiding plate is having the angle so that this block is having the also you are having the here the t-slot here or the tie lever is having which is attached to the compound rest directly and you are having the taper turning operation with the help of the taper turning attachment so you are having the very simple derivation here we know that tan alpha is equal to d1 minus d2 divided by 2L where d1 and d2 are the the major and minor diameter and L is the taper length now here what we have to calculate the requirement is that we have to calculate the required number of mm divisions to swivel the guiding plate so you can get with the help of m is equal to d1 minus d2 divided by 2L that is the tan alpha into c what is c the c is the half of the length of the guiding plate the c is the half of the length of the guiding plate so here m is equal to d1 minus d2 divided by 2L into c now we are having very simple numerical based on the taper turning attachment for the taper turning operation a job 500 mm long has to be taper turn along its length the diameters are 70 mm and 50 mm respectively we have to calculate number of mm divisions to swivel the guiding plate when the length is 1000 mm so d1 is 70 mm d2 is 50 mm we are having the length for the taper length is 500 mm and we are having the c is equal to total length that is the total length of the guiding plate that is 1000 mm divided by 2 so you can get the c is equal to 500 mm and replacing these values in the formula you can get the number of divisions in mm m is equal to 10 mm these are the references thank you


Well, first of all, you want to talk about the disrespect we had you guys pencil in at five o'clock. We were on black people time. I see. I was wondering where that was going. Yeah. Yeah, that's better. That is better than 90% of the excuses I get around here. I gotta be straight with you, Dave. We were on black people time. That's my team.


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. Today we are going to be stepping into the animal kingdom once more in order to add to this here encyclopedia, the Nekonekonomi Model Leopard.  The fruit takes its name from the Japanese word for cat being Neko, which I imagine most anime and manga fans are probably already pretty familiar with by now, whereas the model is taken directly from the English word for leopard being Reopardo. This is despite the fact that there is a Japanese word for leopard being Hyo, and not only that but this kanji is actually used in the official naming of the fruit except it's pronounced Reopardo instead of Hyo, I guess you know that's that's the thing we can do in Japanese. In any case, the English translations of the fruit are fairly straightforward in a roundabout way, with Viz opting to call it the cat-cat fruit, leopard model, while Funimation went with the more direct cat-cat fruit, model-leopard. Alright, so hopping into the powers of this particular fruit, it's pretty important to note from the outset that this is a carnivorous zoan, and while the Neconeconomy model leopard may not technically be the first one we have examined in the Encyclopedia, it does mark the first time we became aware of them in the series, and what a carnivorous zoan means is that the user of this fruit by the mere act of consuming it will gain a more predatory and blood thirsty nature due to the specific creature they become, and in this case it's probably a good idea to note that leopards are in fact the most ferocious members of the cat family, despite being roughly half the size of the more celebrated members such as lions and tigers. So naturally, the Neconeconomy model leopard becomes suited to those more combat-oriented people in the world, especially when we take into consideration the strength and speed benefits that come in addition to the increase in general aggression. For example, leopards are phenomenally fast creatures, able to reach speeds of up to 58 kilometers per hour, as well as leap up to six meters, and hunt creatures three times their size, and even carry their prey up trees with their incredibly strong mouth-thing. Speaking of it should also be said that leopards are extraordinary climbers and very agile creatures in general, highly adaptive to essentially any environment they find themselves in. This goes a long way to making them as well as the user of this fruit incredibly deadly, and in fact there is even a historical record from the Himalayas of a serial killer who managed to alleviate 125 people of their lives over an eight-year period in the early 1900s. And long story short, the killer turned out to be a leopard, which is quite terrifying because it was said to have broken through doors and burst through windows, making it quite an effective assassin. And with that in mind, let's segue into how Rob Luchi has made use of his leperty powers, and he certainly does not disappoint. As a skilled assassin, Luchi uses the speed and power granted by the Neconeconomy model lepid to enhance his own skills in the art of the Rokushiki techniques, with one specific example being his increased power in regards to Shigan purely thanks to his leopard claws. But Luchi is also one of the rare Zoan users in the series who has been able to unlock a form outside of the standard three Zoan transformations or an awakening. Through a technique known as Seimei Kikan, or life return. Through its use, Luchi is able to compress the wide and muscular form granted by the human beast's hybrid transformation, allowing him to access far greater speed. Although it does come at a cost of losing some physical power. And just to add to Luchi's versatility, he has actually been known to use the full beast form of the Devil Fruit in combat, which is something that is rarely seen, as most Zoan users will use this exclusively for travel or transportation. But the other form we need to discuss is the inevitable idea of awakening. And to put it quite simply, the idea of a gigantic leopard human is quite terrifying. At the time of this recording, we haven't actually seen an awakened carnivorous Zoan, but if they managed to stay on trend, we should expect a creature even larger than the awakened Zoans we're used to, as well as something uncontrollably predatory and wild. I mean, it might just be Rob Luchi embracing his new leopard persona, but this fruit in particular seems to have a great effect on the primal instincts of its user. One that, in the form of an awakening, could easily inhibit any thought of previous humanity and go on to become a rampaging beast. So while this form would undoubtedly grant the user preposterous power, they do feel like it would be nigh on impossible to control, and as a result, awakening this fruit may be undesirable to achieve. Some other miscellaneous things to consider when becoming a leopard human. In addition to becoming wildly bloodthirsty, your newfound lepidness may have other impacts on your ability to socialize, as lepids are very solitary creatures. So if you're more of an extrovert, you may find yourself retreating into the trees more often than usual. Of course, if you're a natural introvert, then I assume you've already built yourself a nice comfortable treehouse that nobody knows about and where you're watching this video from right now. So you should expect no change. To add to the adaptability of lepids, they fare remarkably well with very little water as they are able to efficiently survive simply from the moisture of their prey. And finally, just be aware that as with domestic cats, lepids are known to purr when they are happy. So just, you know, be prepared to start purring in public should a sudden jolt of happiness take you. But what we essentially have here is a super powered zone. The benefits the user receives are heavily physically skewed, but they do come with the potential detriments of the natural instincts of a leopard significantly impacting how you proceed with life post-consumption. If that kind of predatory nature suits you as a dillucci, then we have a natural fit. Congratulations! However, if you're quite happy living a peaceful existence in the vegan friendly suburb of Newtown in Sydney, Australia, then you should probably give this fruit a pass and wait for next weeks. And with that, we are going to commit the Neconeconomy model leopard to the devil fruit encyclopedia. Next week, we'll be looking at a devil fruit owned by the most forgotten member of CP9 being funk freed with the Zozo Nomi.

Hope versus wish. Wish is most commonly used in hypothetical or imagined situations. I wish that I had a dog. I don't really have a dog, but if I did, I would be happy. I wish that you were here. Unfortunately, you are not, and I miss you. Sometimes wish is used in greetings and expressions of goodwill. We wish you a merry Christmas. They wished him happy birthday. Wish me luck. Hope can also be used in expressions of goodwill, but the grammar is slightly different. I hope that you have a merry Christmas. Sometime in the future. I hope that you had a nice birthday. Sometime in the past. Hope can be used to specify a desired outcome. For future hopes, the possibilities remain open, but for past hopes, the outcome has usually been determined already. I hope you can come to the party on Saturday. Future possibility. I was hoping that you would come to the party. But you didn't make it. I had hoped to see you at the party on Saturday. But I didn't. I hope to get an A on the exam. It is still possible. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. Although it might. He hopes to be elected president. It could happen. She hoped you wouldn't find her. But you probably did. Wish and hope are also used in certain types of requests and pleasantries. In such situations, wish carries a more definite and formal tone. I wish to see the doctor. Right now. I hope to see you again. Any time in the future.


Literally, just one day after Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden for president, he already was essentially placing blame for the possible loss in November, not on Joe Biden, but on his supporters who refused to fall in line. And I find this incredibly problematic, morally reprehensible, and quite frankly, cowardly. It's unbecoming of a progressive leader to basically take the entire burden and drop it on the heads of your supporters and absolve Joe Biden of any responsibility whatsoever of actually winning them over. But let's get to what he said specifically here. Steve Peoples of AP reports, Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be irresponsible for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who sit on their hands in the months ahead would simply enable Donald Trump's re-election. And lest there be any question, the 78-year-old Vermont senator confirmed that it's probably a very fair assumption that he would not run for president again. He added with a laugh, one can't predict the future. He seemed to distance himself from the campaign's former national press secretary, Breonna Joy Gray, when asked about her recent statement on social media, refusing to endorse Joe Biden. She is my former press secretary, not on the payroll. Sanders noted, a spokesperson later clarified that all campaign staffers were no longer on the payroll as of Tuesday, though they will get a severance check in May. Sanders said his supporters have a simple choice now that Biden has emerged as the presumptive nominee. Do we be as active as we can in electing Joe Biden and doing everything we can to move Joe and his campaign in a more progressive direction? Or do we choose to sit out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get re-elected? He continued, I believe it's irresponsible for anybody to say, well, I disagree with Joe Biden, I disagree with Joe Biden, and therefore I'm not going to be involved. So first of all, I find it absolutely indefensible that he would throw his former press secretary under a bus. This has been a problem with Bernie Sanders for quite some time. He never defends the people who defend him. Like when Zephyr Teachout penned an op-ed talking about Joe Biden's corruption, he apologized to Joe Biden and denounced Zephyr Teachout's article. So he never stands by the people who go to bat for him. And that's a problem. The core issue that I have with this is that Bernie Sanders isn't reading the room correctly.  I think that is a reasonable approach. Nobody is going to, you know, bemoan the fact that you're telling them to support the lesser of two evils, even if they won't actually do that. We can, we can understand and justify your position. But for you to suggest, which I think is implied here, that Joe Biden has zero responsibility, it's not irresponsible at all for Joe Biden to win over Bernie Sanders supporters. I just find that completely unacceptable. So, you know, the way that he worded this, and I'll give him a chance to kind of respond and correct the record here is that we have to go to Joe Biden. He doesn't have to come to us and earn our votes. We have to go to him. We're obligated to go to him. And at no point does Joe Biden ever have to do anything to actually win us over. I mean, maybe Bernie, if you truly thought that Donald Trump was a threat, maybe you should have ignored Obama when he pressured you to drop out. Maybe you should have stayed in a little bit longer to extract maybe just like, I don't know, one concession and maybe behind the scenes. Bernie Sanders did that. But I'm sorry, proposing Medicare at 60 when we're asking specifically for Medicare for all. And after Hillary Clinton proposed Medicare at 50, I mean, how could you say this with a straight face? How could you not suggest that it's irresponsible for Joe Biden to not be aggressively campaigning to get our votes? How could you not say it is very deeply irresponsible of Joe Biden to ignore the issues, the legitimate crises that people on the left are talking about? It's irresponsible for Joe Biden not to endorse Medicare for all. It's irresponsible for Joe Biden not to cancel all student debt. It's irresponsible for Joe Biden to not end the wars. How could you possibly think that the entire burden of all of the responsibility lies on the shoulders of your supporters? I don't think Bernie Sanders to his core believes that because if you do, then you're not the person I thought you were, Bernie. But you've got to understand that this approach is deeply, deeply ineffective. AOC in an interview with the New York Times, I think she actually had a very human reaction. She said, we can't just throw all of the issues that the left raise, you know, under the rug and pretend like they don't exist. Now that Biden is the nominee, we can't do that. So we need we need more from Joe Biden. It's insulting that he proposed Medicare 60 after Hillary offered us Medicare 50. It's like after 2016, Democrats should have learned the importance of uniting the left and the center even after they preached about it. But now it's like they're saying, you know, yeah, I get that we lost without the left. You know, they are the ones that blame Bernie Sanders supporters and third party voters, but what do they do in response? They throw us less crumbs than they did in 2016.  And then we have Bernie Sanders dogpiling on us along with the corporate establishment. I mean, do you want to know what happened as soon as this article came out? Joy Reid of MSNBC tweeted this out.   As you're attacking your own base. Don't do this, Bernie. Don't do this. You know that this is not effective. Trying to come from a place of understanding that is a good place to start if you truly want some of your supporters to flip. Now, it's a fact of reality that a large portion of Bernie Sanders supporters are not going to vote for Joe Biden. I'm not voting for Joe Biden. I live in Oregon. All of my state's electoral votes are going to go to Joe Biden regardless. So to me, it doesn't matter. So I'm not going to vote for Joe Biden. But if you want to get people to vote for Joe Biden in those key swing states, you've got to acknowledge and understand their real disgust. Acknowledge where they're coming from. And I think Bernie knows this because he talks to people. He's not insulated from the public like people like Joe Biden. But for him to say this, it's really not a good look. And I'm sorry, where are you, Bernie, on the rape allegation against Joe Biden? How could you continue to be silent on this? Don't you have a responsibility to call on Joe Biden and tell him maybe he should address it, maybe give us some signal that he actually cares about women's rights after the Democratic Party has been screeching about women's rights ever since, you know, forever. It's just it's like, you know, he is he's not understanding that people aren't going to support Joe Biden enthusiastically, even if his supporters and I think most of them probably will end up backing Joe Biden. They're not going to do it, you know, enthusiastically. They're going to do it begrudgingly because they don't want Donald Trump to fill another Supreme Court seat. They don't want Donald Trump to be in control for the next four years, which elevates the prospect of war with the wrong. So Bernie of all people should be understanding of where his movement is coming from, but the fact that he's saying that they're responsible and it's not Joe Biden who's irresponsible for not trying more to win them over. After he just spit in our eyes with his I'm not a socialist fundraiser, scolding people isn't going to work. It's insulting. So, yeah, I think that Bernie Sanders of all people should know this is not a good look and it pains me to say this. But sorry, Bernie, most people aren't going to respond to you blaming them for the incompetence of the Democratic Party and Joe Biden. And to an extent your own campaign, because, you know, this is what happens like so many people go to bat for Bernie Sanders.  Like if he were saying this in September, I can understand it more, right? Because there's a real urgency. If it seems like Joe Biden's going to lose, you know, he's kind of frantic and panicking, but it's April. You didn't drop out in 2016 until July. Maybe just give him a week, Bernie. Can they get a week to process it? I mean, Elizabeth Warren hasn't even endorsed Joe Biden yet. So maybe give your supporters a little bit of time for self care.


I come from a little place called Mulden in Central Victoria and my wife and I decided it was time to move. The opportunity came up to come down here for promotion so we took that warnable offer of lifestyle. More opportunity for the kids. Heard that there was wonderful schools down here and we confirmed that after going around to all the schools. That was a good thing for us. Warnable's got so much to offer. It's a hidden gem in Victoria as far as I'm concerned. It's got everything you'd want any major city. We've got multi-plex cinema with three cinemas, Lighthouse Theatre, which has regular shows coming into town. If you're into water sports we've got surfing, fishing, swimming, all that sort of stuff is all within ten minutes and we're living on the beach. The very best thing about I think living in Warnable is the lifestyle that comes with it. So everything's within ten minutes and you've got so many options. So with the kids you've got the great playgrounds, you've got the beach and just wander along the foreshore, cafes, restaurants and just all the outdoor pursuits that you can do down here and then get away for the weekend to the Grampians or head down to the Great Ocean Road as well. Warnable and District 5 as a whole offers great opportunities. We have the aerial pumper here at Warnable. We have the ground-observing vehicle which allows us to get out and do ground-observing not only in summer but in winter if it's flooding. We also have the tech rescue pod coming online shortly but we currently do rope rescue now and trench rescue. So we have all that equipment here. That provides great opportunity for personal development if you want to go down that line of training. At 600 calls a year, we're not the busiest station in the state but that has some really great advantages as well because it actually enables us to concentrate on being able to provide better skills maintenance and better training on a daily basis as well. If you enjoy being involved in those particular skill sets, it's a great opportunity to get the training out that's required. We're lucky here that we do have a few different appliances. The aerial is one that is probably different to lots of stations and just gives us an opportunity to be able to have a go at industrial sort of events or fires. As far as the station itself, it's a brand new station. It's got heaps of space and they're continually making improvements. So if you like throwing weights around if that's your thing then we've got a gym about the size of our house and we've also got this big backyard area here which is perfect for training. Come on down here and have a look for yourself but the lifestyle is great, the people are great and I haven't looked back since we've been here so it's great. Warnable is a great work, life balance. I love coming to work, I come to work with a smile on my face and I leave work with a smile on my face. Good group of people, there's always something to learn, there's always something to do but then on your days off as well you've got the chance to get outdoors, go down to the beach and I think that that balance and that affordability and that lifestyle that comes with it then it's paradise.


The next technique we would like to consider for water suppression is the so-called jump return, jump return sequence. The way it works is you have a 90 degree pulse, you put the carrier on water, okay. So the carrier is on water, wait for a time tau, then you apply a 19 pulse again but this time you apply 90 minus x.  So how does this work? Okay, let us look at, let us draw the picture like this. So initially all the magnetization is here, okay. This is at point number 1, this is at 1 and here at 2, so apply a 90x, I will get, let us say a magnetization onto the y axis, it comes here, this is at 0.2. Now different components would process here now, okay, they will go with the different frequencies. Okay, water will go with its own frequency and sample signals will also go with their own frequencies. Now since I am sitting on the water, water does not move because there is zero frequency. Since I am sitting on water, the water does not move. Let me say my sample signal which is present here, green one, during the period tau, during the period tau, what happens? The water remains there only because it does not, I am sitting on the water therefore it is a zero frequency, zero frequency and I will wait for the time tau such that my sample signal has come exactly here onto this, sample signal has come exactly onto this and the water has remained there only. Water has not moved because it is at zero frequency, water is at zero frequency, carrier is on water means it has zero frequency, so that does not process whereas your other signals will process, okay. So this one signal may have come here, it is also possible that there is one more signal, okay, so let me draw the spectrum here, suppose I have a spectrum which is like this and this is my water and this is another signal here. So this one is positive and this is negative, with respect to the water this is zero, okay. And the blue one which I have drawn here that has come exactly to this point, okay. Now let me draw another color, take another one here, green one and where would that go? That would have moved to some other point let us say here, let us say this is my green and this is the blue, okay, I am using the same color that does not matter. So the blue one has come here and the green one has gone to this place. Now then what they do is I apply a next 90 minus x, 90 minus x, so what will be the result of this? The result of this will be water will come back here, water will go back because I am applying a 90 minus x, I am rotating it back to the z axis and the blue and the green components will some components will survive. So something will survive here, of course certain other component would have gone there and similarly some component of green also will survive, some component of green also will survive, other components which are orthogonality they would also have gone back to the z axis. Now if I do a Fourier transformation of this, what will I do, what will I get? I will get let us say the blue one which is here, I will get a positive signal like this and that the water I will get is 0 and then I will get a green one, I will get a negative the opposite side because it has gone to the other side, at time t is equal to 0 it is on the other side, if this is on the plus x axis that is on the minus x axis therefore the initial point it has a minus, it has a opposite phase therefore it is gone here. Because this is a very ideal picture, the lines of course will have various kinds of distorted line shapes will be there but this is the ideal picture. The water has gone back to z axis and therefore there will be no signal of the water, ideal. Typically this does not happen ideally, there will be some amount thing there will be various kinds of waste distortions will also happen. The ones which are close to the water what will be the problem here, some which are under the water if there is a signal which is under the water you will also lose that, that also will disappear because that also will go back to the z axis you will not see. Therefore what one does is you adjust your tau such that you get maximum signal for the region of your interest. Because this distance is something like about delta, let us say this is delta. So you adjust your tau such that this has moved by, this frequency has moved by 90 degrees. Let me call this as your signal which is required, w desired, let me call this as omega i and 2 pi omega i, how much is the rotation of this of the blue signal? The rotation of the blue signal here is 2 pi times omega i times tau. That is the rotation in angle, omega i times tau is in the radiance. So in terms of, if I want to multiply that by 2 pi then I get it in degrees. Now if I adjust this to pi by 2, pi by 2 that means I have made it rotate by 90 degree. Therefore what I have to do? Therefore I have to adjust tau to, this will go away, 1 by 4 w i. So by doing so I maximize my signal for the desired signal in my spectrum. I may lose other ones, it does not matter. So typically this is used in applications where you have very widely different frequencies. So you have the water here, let us say and then you have the various signals here, these are the amide protons, amide protons let us say. This is typically in proteins, this is what you will have. The water is at 4.8 ppm, these are from 7.5 to 10 ppm. Or if you are looking at DNA, so in DNA the water signal is here and you have the immunoprodons which are coming at 11 to 15 ppm. And your aliphatic ones will be here, aliphatic signals will be here. And same is true here, aliphatic signals. So if you adjust your, you keep your RF on the water and adjust your time to suit to this distance from here to here, then you will get, for these ones you will get positive signals on this side and then you will have reduction here and you will get negative signals here. For the aliphatic ones, because these are on the opposite sides of the water. So this sort of a water separation is also quite efficient and has been used for, quite extension, especially for DNA, this has been used very, very effectively. So this is so much for the special features of FTNMR. Now we go over to another concept which is called as spin echo. So what is a spin echo?  The sound goes, gets reflected from the hill and comes back to you, that is the echo, right.  In the same manner here also you can do a magnetization which is decaying and then you recover it so that you get an echo. So that is what is the principle here. This was discovered by Irwin Hahn in 1950 and this is one of the most important developments the discovery, very simple but very elegant and very important discovery which becomes a component of all multiples experiments, most multiples experiments in two dimension, three dimension, even in other one dimensional experiments as well. So what is the idea here? The idea is the following. So the pulse sequence goes like this. So you have a 90 degree pulse, 90X, let us say you have a time period tau here, you have a time period tau, then you apply 180 degree pulse, let us say I apply it along the Y axis, then you have the same time period tau, then after that what I get here. This is the echo, at this point I get the echo. I may collect the data afterwards but this is the echo. What happens during this period? Let us look at it from the single spin situation or we can do two spins also and let us do what happens. This is the time point 1, this is time point 2, time point 3 and time point 4 and this is time point 5. So consider one spin and let us assume that I have initial magnetization is here, this is at 1, time point 1, then I apply the 90 degree pulse, the magnetization has come here, this is time point 2 and then during the next period tau it has evolved with its characteristic frequency and now I will write only, let me write the full thing, it has rotated to some point here, this is my time point 3, now this was my X, Y and Z, X, Y and Z. Now what I am applying? I am applying a 180 degree Y pulse, so this is a 180 Y. So what happens to this magnetization, where does it go? It goes here, 180 degree rotation, so it goes out of the plane and comes back there. To understand it much more easily, you take the components along the X and the Y components and you see both the components will rotate. So the X component will go to the minus X axis, Y component will stay there only, therefore the net result will be along this axis here. The movement is happening here, here during the period tau with the characteristic frequency, its own frequency and how much it has moved, let us say it has moved by an angle theta, this angle theta. During that period it has moved by the angle theta because it has a characteristic frequency and this is equal to omega i times tau, it has moved by that much. Now this spin which has gone here now, this will continue to move in the same direction once again. So where it will come? After the next time period tau, this is my time point 4, where it will come? After that, then it will come back on to this axis. I drew only the transverse plane here. So if we have to drop the transverse plane here, this is in the transverse plane, so this will move down here to this point, it will move down to this point, the Z axis is up there. So whatever it has moved during the period tau, so this will again move, this angle is also theta, therefore it will move at the same angle theta in the next period at tau, so it will come back here. So therefore you see this is the refocusing, this is the echo. What was happening here during this period, during the period tau? You see the y component was progressively decreasing, right? If we were to look at the FID during this period tau, during the movement, during the period tau, what was happening? The magnetization was decaying, was moving, there is an FID. So this was decaying here, magnetization was decaying here and it was moving out of the y axis. Now when it comes back here, then it during the next period tau, it starts coming back onto the y axis, which means it is, it is increasing. So if we want to draw this here, magnetization is FID is decreasing during the period tau and this is my 180 degree and then it starts increasing again. So this is my echo. This is like a mountain, these 180 degrees is a mountain. This is the time it takes for the signal to go here when you shout and this is the time it takes. It comes back with the same speed, right? This is the sound with the same speed. It will come back here with the same speed therefore it will take the same time. So this is the echo. So now you see this is regardless of what the frequency is. No matter what the frequency of precision is, it will come back. So here I have drawn with one frequency. Suppose I took another frequency, this will also come back. So therefore this is frequency independent. The spin echo is said to refocus chemical shifts. So therefore this will refocus chemical shifts. So we are considering here a single spin and there it is completely refocusing. If it were two spins also it will refocus but only thing is there should be no coupling between them. These two spins are not coupled. If it is they are coupled then of course they do not refocus. And that is a little bit more tricky and we will try and go through it appropriately. Spin echo of coupled spins. Let us say I take two spins A and X, right? So the one dimensional spectrum of this will be the A will have two lines and X also will have two lines. The coupling constant between them will be the same. So this is my A spin and this is my X spin let us say. And this is the center of the A spin and let us say this frequency is nu A and this frequency is nu X and the separation is the coupling constant, okay? Let us draw the picture for the same. Now you remember here one more thing. How do these lines appear? How do these lines appear? If I want to draw the A lines little bit more elaborately here and also the X lines somewhat more separately here, properly separated and let if they call this transition as A1, call this as A2, okay? Call this as X1 and this as X2, okay? Now how does this transition A1 appear? You recall back what we did earlier. When the transition alpha spin is flipping, the A spin is flipping from alpha to beta. What is the polarization of the X spin? X spin this is in the beta state and it is in the alpha state. For the A2 transition, this for the A1 transition, X spin is in the beta state. For the A2 transition, X spin is in the alpha state, okay? So if you can recall that in a G-level diagram there, let us say this is alpha A, alpha X, alpha beta, alpha A, beta X, beta A, alpha X, beta A, beta X, okay? So this I have the transition here, one transition here, other transition here. These are my A1 and A2. Which one is my A1? This is my A1 transition, this is my A2 transition. In the A1 transition, alpha A is flipping to beta A and the X spin is in the beta polarization. For the A2 transition, alpha is flipping to beta and the X spin is in the alpha polarization. That is what I have written here. This is important to notice here, okay? Now let us look at what happens when you apply the spin echo. Let us look at the spin echo again here. The spin echo sequence, okay? This is tau, this is tau and now we sit on the, in the rotating frame of the A-spin. That means we sit in the center. That means I will want to focus only on the A-spin for the moment. Let us look at the moment of the A-spin. So at this point, at this point I will draw only the transverse plane. So this is my point, both the transitions are, both the transitions are here, right? At this point, this is my point 2. This is point 2. Now they will, during the next period tau, what will happen? These two transitions will go in opposite directions because I am sitting on the middle of the 2. If I am sitting on the middle of A, that means with respect to the new A, with respect to the center, A1 will go faster and A2 will go slower. So let me draw that here. Let us say A1 has gone here and A2 has gone here. This is going like this. This is going like this. When I apply the 180 degree Y, now these are my X and the Y axis or this is my X and this is my Y. Now if I apply Y pulse, let me also write which is A1, A2 because these are all very important things. So this is my, let us say A1 and this is my A2. During the next tau, now I apply 180 degree pulse, let us say on to A1 because this 180 pulse is on both, right? It is 180 pulse is on both. So what will happen during then, suppose 180 pulse on the A spin considering on the A spin. So this will come, so this is a rotation like this. The A2, A1 will come down, A2 will go here, A1 will come here. Now how was the A1 moving? A1 was moving like this, A2 was moving like this, right? So during the next period tau, they should come back and refocus. They should move with the same speed and they should come back and refocus. But now notice we are applying a pulse on the X spin as well. And this is the crucial point. This is the crucial point and that is what we will show here. So in the next, consider we break up this 180 pulse into 180A and 180X, 180X on the X spin. What does it do? 180X means X spin flips from beta to alpha. X spins flip from beta to alpha and alpha to beta. In other words, A1 will go to A2, A2 will go to A1. So I have these two transitions same here but now they will change their labels. This will become A1, this will become A2 and this will continue to go this way, this will continue to go this way, okay? So now you see there is a big difference. So during the next period tau, what will happen? They will continue to move in the same directions. They will continue to move in the same directions. This fellow would have gone there, this fellow would have gone there, okay? So therefore they have not refocused. Therefore at the end of the echo, this is the echo period, the two are not refocused, okay? So therefore the spin echo does not refocus coupling evolution, okay? So what are the conclusion we have here? One thing is, let me write that down explicitly in the separate one, the spin echo, two important points, one chemical shifts the refocused, refocused. This means field enormogenities are refocused, field enormogenities because field enormogenities contribute to variations in the frequencies of recession, right? There is equivalent to chemical shift, different chemical shifts, field enormogenities are refocused. Two, coupling evolution is not refocused. This is the most important part and you will see this is what is used in various other techniques in multiple experiments, okay? The third point is relaxation continues to happen. Which relaxation during the spin echo? Relaxation continues to happen and which relaxation is this? This is the transverse relaxation because the magnetization is in the transverse plane or T2 relaxation. So therefore this provides an ideal method for the measurement of transverse relaxation times because it is not clouded by the field enormogenity effects. Field enormogenity when it is there, they will cause defacing because of the different frequencies and therefore the signal will decay faster because the lines will become broader and the field enormogenities will sort of give a wrong impression about the T2 relaxation. Because T2 relaxation is related to line width, right? So this is related to line width. And if field enormogenities are there, they are contributing to your decay of the signal because of precessional frequencies then you measure a wrong line width and that cannot be taken as T2. Here the field enormogenity effects are cancelled out so you can use this method to obtain measure the transverse relaxation times very accurately. So this is the important application, immediate application of this and this happens at the rate minus 2 tau by T2. So this is the relaxation rate. Now there is one more point which I will take up and then we will stop. We can use this spin echo sequence for water suppression and that is water gate. Water gate for water suppression. The pulse sequence is like this.  This is again a 90 minus X again on water and this period tau, this period tau. But there is one more thing that happens here and that is called as the field gradients. We use here what are called as field gradients. So you apply a field gradient here, I will explain what that means, you apply field gradient here and you apply a field gradient here and you collect the signal from this point onwards. What does the field gradient do? These are field gradients. It is a linear field gradient. It can be explained like this. Suppose you have a sample, your sample is here, your magnetic field is in this direction. There are additional coils which will change the field along the Z axis. This is my Z axis. It will change the field along the Z axis, so in a particular manner. So field gradient will increase, this is the gradient field. That means the field at different points will be H0 plus some coefficient times Z. So this is the gradient and this is the Z, coordinate along the Z axis. Therefore this is the linear thing and G is the coefficient. Therefore at different points the field will be different. What is the meaning? All those things which are seeing this, they will deface. All the frequencies will become different. So the result will be that if I draw the transverse plane here. So all the frequencies will deface as a result of this gradient because of the gradient. Now if I apply 180 degree pulse to this and then apply the same gradient once more because these are all going in this way and this way. If I apply 180 degree pulse then they all would have come here. So this will go like this, this will go like this and then during the next period term they will all come back again, they will come back here. Therefore they are refocused. So when I apply 180 degree pulse but now this is so far as the sample signals are concerned. But I have done another trick here. What I have done is I have applied 180 x and 90 minus x and 90 minus x. The water sees how much flip angle. The water sees zero flip angle. 90 minus x and 90 minus x is 180 minus x, 180 minus x, 180 x is zero. Therefore the water does not see any angle at all, does not see any flip. The water has zero rotation. So which means after it has come down into the transverse plane, this is the water signals. They continue to go and after that at the end also they continue to go even more spread all over. The D phase more and more because they do not see the gradient effect. They do not see the 180 pulse is not seen. They see the gradient effect. They do not see the 180 pulse. They see zero, there is no inversion. They continue to D phase, water signal continues to D phase, continues to D phase. As a result it will all completely cancel out. So water will be zero and at the end of this tau you will only have signals coming from the sample because they all have been refocused. The refocusing is happening because of the 180 pulse on the sample signal and the water is seeing a zero pulse, zero rotation. However it will continue to D phase, both the gradients will contribute to the D phasing only and therefore the water signal will completely D phase and will be eliminated. And this is how you achieve water suppression in this particular scheme. So I think we can stop here. This is the time is up.


So let me begin with our program today. I welcome you all to the sixth annual meeting of the Property and Freedom Society, and to remind the old timers and to inform the newcomers. Let me briefly restate what I said toward the end of my introductory speech last year about the purpose of the Property and Freedom Society and these meetings. I am and the founders of the Property and Freedom Society are Austro-Liburterians in the intellectual tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Marie-Rose Barthes. That is, we are proponents of what has been called anarcho-capitalism or private property anarchism or what I have come to think as the best possible label to describe us, proponents of a pure, stateless, private law society or of a natural order. By my enemies, of which I have quite a few, especially within the camp of the so-called Beltway libertarians, that is the egalitarian, multiculturalist, cosmotarian libertarians that multiply around Washington D.C. in various think tanks and in government bureaus.  According to them, every so-called modern, decent, civilized, tolerant and enlightened person is supposed to ignore and avoid people such as myself. Now, my view on these critics were to use Marie-Rose Barthes' words. My word on this so-called smearbund is this, people who have not been awarded several or at least a few labels such as these, I cannot and will not take intellectually seriously. What these folks want is to continually expand the range of taboo subjects. It is of intellectual no-nose. Essentially, what they want us is to suspend even our common sense and no longer trust our own eyes. In distinct contrast, I am and the property and freedom society is committed above all to Thomas Jefferson's motto, there is not a truth existing which I fear or would wish unknown to the whole world. If that makes you a persona non grata in certain circles, so be it. I and we of the property and freedom society take all of this as compliments. Now, with this and when with the property and freedom society, I wanted to create a place where like-minded, similarly unadjusted and politically incorrect people from around the world would gather regularly in mutual encouragement and in the enjoyment of unrivaled and uncensored intellectual radicalism. The society was supposed to be international and interdisciplinary bourgeois by invitation only, exclusive and elitist for the few elect who can see through the smoke screen put up by our ruling class of criminals, crocs, charlatans and clowns. And inspired by the charm of this particular place and its beautiful garden, I decided to adopt the model of a salon for the property and freedom society and its meetings. Salon being defined as a gathering of intellectual, social and cultural elites under the roof of an inspiring hostess and host partly to amuse one another and partly to refine one's taste and to increase one's knowledge through conversation. And there you have it then, what I have tried to accomplish for the last few years together with Gülsün, my wife and fellow Misesian economist, without whose support none of this would be possible, namely to be hostess and host to a grand and extended annual salon and to make it with your help the most attractive and illustrious salon there is. And I hope and I'm confident that this or six meaning will mark another step forward towards this end. Now I come to my speech, but I first want to introduce very quickly the following speakers. The first one following me will be a young friend from Poland, Matusz Mahaj, his assistant professor of economics at the University of Wroclaw, used to be a German town named Breslau, but now we gave it to Poles. Then the next one will be Fille Bagus, another young friend who is assistant professor of economics at the University, Ray Juan Carlos in Madrid. He was ousted from Germany, had to go to a foreign country, like many of us in the course of our career had to do. He recently published a very excellent book on the Euro and the Euro crisis. Then in the afternoon, first speaker will be Doug French, an old friend that I have from Las Vegas, who is now the president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama. He wrote his master's thesis under Murray Rothbard and I was the second reader of the master's thesis at that time. He will be followed by my long dear friend Tom Di Lorenzo, he's a professor of economics at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. He's the author of many books, especially two infamous books on Abraham Lincoln. And finally, another young friend, Nikolai Gertschiff, who serves as an economist at the European Commission in Brussels. Thank you.


Sometimes people are in a bad mood. Sometimes you're not in the right mood. It's a marriage on the phone. You can turn things around but just to be clear like, you know, not every single phone call we have talked to someone is going to turn out for whatever reason. Can you just talk a little bit about that? It never, it's, nothing works out the way you think it's going to work out, number one, right? And you can't control the results. You can't control if they're in a good mood, bad mood, they want to sell, don't want to sell, hang up, you can't control what they do. So quit trying to control the results. Focus on your actions, right? I'm going to make phone calls for two hours, three times a week. Actually, my coaching program, three hours, three days a week is what I like to see. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That way, if you have to show property on Tuesday, you miss that session, you can make it up Thursday or Friday or make up both of them, right? Get three, three-hour sessions in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, then you're good.  If you find more downtime, make more calls. But when you're in that call session, focus on making calls for three hours. I don't care if every number is disconnected. Be happy that you put that work in. Our part of the schedule, we work about nine days a month. So at that time off, we both have a real love and we treat it real safe. I'm excited to make that transition. It meant us to give our clients the best service possible. How do we give them a 10-plus-plus experience besides embrace other agents? I think the biggest thing is figuring out why they want to do what they want to do and then focus everything on that. What's going on in their life that's causing them to make this decision? When you focus on that bigger picture, then they feel that you care so much. And what does that equal? Service. The service equals care. When you go out to eat and the server gives you good service, it's because they cared about getting you that drink on time and getting you exactly what you ordered. They cared enough to do it. Service equals care. Making situations that let them just stop writing your tracks. You smooth them right out. How'd you get the phone number on line somewhere? Like I was saying, I just call the seniors and they need a lot of security. If you've lost a deal over missing that call, I'm calling a back five second later and they're like, are you going to answer your phone? You don't want to be your client anyway. I don't want to be your agent. I've tried to talk to them if I can, but I have thousands of clients that can't call them all. I just do the best I can do. But they know. They already know that when they call me, it's on.  They know when they refer somebody to me, I'm going to deal with it. I don't have a team. I'm not going to send them to another agent. I'm going to show them property. I'm going to go to the listening point and I'm going to do all that. They know it's real. That's how I maintain relationships by making it real.
