It's not my thing There's some people's thing Karen Mitchell future all of their I'll be I'll be sleeving everybody by then. I think Corbin Carroll and Your rookie of the year award winner Gunner Henderson for sure Here's Taylor walls to 2023. I mean When are we gonna stop then everyone then we're gonna be sleeving every rookie car. I can't do that Although I do like James. I'm in a lot. There's Alfonso Rivas is leave on Soto That's number to 300. That's the stat background. I think the stats. I like those playing cards I wish there were some other cards there, too there's a Austin Hayes silver gold Schmidt But there are some strong rookies in this class Spencer Steer had a nice year as well We'll try to I'm gonna try to spot as many of those There's a dance we swan some gold There's many of those Corbin Carroll's and Gunner Henderson's your rookies of the year as much as possible, but The interest of speed I might miss some but I won't miss any numbered ones. That's for sure Or any of these like gold foil ones of those key players. There's Jean Segura to 2023 For Charles and the Marlins Volpe's in this too, right? This is this is a pretty good class I mean, hopefully if at least half that group kind of keeps Keeps going, you know Maybe become perennial all stars. That would be awesome Here's a cold and long and here is Randy Arzirania major league material wait Rex. What was your question again? Sorry? We got sidetracked by by by Talk of illicit goods. This is for the raise David M. I mean Yoshida as a rookie in this Estuary Ruiz might score might steal under bases someday There's our Corbin Carroll There's miles straw and These are pretty cool 18 out of 299 Your NL League leader triple crown medallion here commemorative patch see Carl Phillies will be for Darren my favorite ethnic food probably Italian food followed by followed by Mexican food Korean food, but now that was just food growing up mixed in with Italian food. I Mean to me it doesn't to me. That's just food Yeah, we're pretty lucky that Southern California has it has a wide range of Ethnicities thus a lot of different food. Oh, I forgot these silver packs right here But yeah, I suppose to a non Korean audience even on a Korean American audience Korean food would be considered an ethnic food So I'll throw that in there Korean barbecue is pretty good Italian food It's pretty good. That's an ethnic food, right? And then Mexican food. I think I think That's kind of like the top three there San Diego has a little a little Italy and man Lot of great restaurants there Middle Eastern kebabs. There is a great There's a great Mediterranean food place that a lot of great kebabs With with some pita some hummus on the side. That's pretty good stuff. That's why That's why I've never I've tried to avoid You know for a variety of reasons, but I just I try to avoid a lot of chain restaurants or fast food restaurants because there's so many You know if I want a burger I can Number of different places I can go to get a burger. I don't need to go to Burger King, you know There's the Brewers to 76 You know if I so there's so many food options here and I don't need to Go to chain restaurant your dad went to Poland does your brother in Poland and said Careful with the menu out there. Why I don't know what yeah, why would Poland have pasta? Well, I mean Italian food here isn't like Italian food in Italy Rex. I feel like there's some funny TikTok videos Oh, that's autographed. Look at that 13 eyes. I'm glad I checked 13 out of 25 Tristan Mackenzie an ace autograph Nice, you're all aces autograph That goes to Dennis and the Guardians Cleveland. This is for you I even know those could be autograph. Yeah, I know Dave start this day the last day of rain And then we start to clear things up a little bit. I hope He says they have some restaurants American themes Can you imagine being an American tourist and then going to an American theme restaurant when you're in Poland? I Be ridiculous But I guess enough people do that There's a Christian walker to 2023 Jeremy Smith with the diamond Vex I've got to catch as much of those bullpies as possible. You went to McDonald's in Paracomon, Logan Although it is a little different there though, isn't it? But can't do that can't do that Oh, they actually the guys actually went they are your dad and your brother actually went And I would just poke my head in maybe Wouldn't actually dine there can't imagine it would be good Yeah, you get a royal treat You know the account of the metric system. I Kind of wish though. Is it really called a Royale with cheese or is that just from the movie? Logan Breaks was now Get out of here Get out of here. I Love this break. This is my favorite. I Wish would I wish we had dual cases every day you bought a big man. Remember it being it being big Mac So I wonder if they call it'd be funny if they just called The quarter pounder with cheese just the quarter pounder with cheese Loving so work with magnets Why don't Why don't we have this magnet technology? Some of that.  That's going to go to Charles No more diamond icons, but we got luminaries Figure team two is loaded up I hope they just still call it a quarter pound of cheese in Paris or in France I guess in Europe Here's a triple crown Carl Yastremski. Yaz going to Boston the commemorative relic Heading out to David M I'll bet it's big big natural gas wrecks They don't want us to have magnet ovens Follow the money wrecks all those volpes Go to Michael got the Yankees I'm gonna try to catch as much of those as possible, but We're trying to find some bigger fish to fry right we want to find some numbered cards. Maybe some autographs Wait, yeah, what about pacemate? What are people with pacemakers? They just can't cook. I feel like I feel like there's a hole in Rex's story I think sometimes these silver pack cards Have numbered or autographed possibilities in here as well Record breakers add the rushman nice orials That will be for uh, Tristan Maybe is Rex talking about induction cookers I don't know what Rex is talking about I don't know. Yeah, I feel like that's a huge liability In pacemakers, right Magnet issues He is a wealth of information John The accuracy could be Could be uh, something to be desired Over the years. That's what we've noticed David M says Google says magnet cooking is real Oh magnetic is induction cooking says Duncan Well, what uh, can anyone address the pacemaker issue with Terry? is it A pay like I feel like pacemakers can get The pants have magnetic bottoms if you set it on the stove and it immediately turns on then shuts off Hmm Yeah, big natural gas definitely put put the kibosh on that Zell oh, this is uh This is a case hit Here's a home field advantage Tristan Casas very similar to like those panini downtown cards That's going to be for David in the red socks Or a super short print maybe either way still nice Huh, so it doesn't affect pacemaker then right It's the tops version of downtown cards That looks a little pretty cool though Still going still going like the energizer bunny here. There is miles master bony Energize what?  No In game with you is that that your that your thing It turns out there's a ton of rookies in series too ton Please don't add me on xbox No one's going to be watching this part of the series team video They're just going to skip to the uh, they're going to skip to the uh, To the what you want to call it the recap at the end Here's a twins team card of 2023 Uh, David M has the royals by the way. This is the master bony card These are jordan walker Magnet it feels can induce heat sounds like a statement Oh, I'm telling you we don't have we don't have Uh those induction cookers because big natural gas Has made sure that that's not going to happen Another box offer there it's from the box. I'm opening You can see You can see me struggling to open packs right Trust me. Michael doesn't want your series too hard. So don't worry about it. Don't worry about it Do all cards ship uh No vet comments ship I was gonna say What why is bidet's capitalized? Is that the brand name like Kleenex?  How do you? Yeah So what do you do that with? Is there like a towel?  Yeah, I guess I mean That's better than a soiled but Yeah, David you're David's like And thank god. No big comments This will ship though as anthony vulpe. Maybe you will find some numbered cards of it Shoot it. Come on, Brian. Pull it back. No, that's not a three point show There were ways to do that A giant tower Of slippery cards probably not the best way to do that It's all right. John John's in Korea for a little bit had one in your apartment and never used it Right, you can still use it the other way. I can just use it the normal way. I'm intrigued. Maybe we should get one for the shop The shop. Yeah I mean Keep those bottoms clean. All right onwards That's a gold box top box topping For the Yankees. Yeah, it has this border Yeah, you think the bidet would be such a hit that people just be spending hours in the toilet 36 out of 50 No one was more consistent than Rivera. Who writes this stuff? Wow That'll go to the Yankees. That'll be for michael michael s Michael unless you're michael sableton There's this guy And there's a michael harris relic nice Kershaw advanced stats is a short print. I've how long ago was that? That would have been numbered to like 300 wouldn't it? I don't know with the lab on youtube by the time someone mentions something I've probably gone A zillion cards, but oh this I think this was just a A texas card The advanced stats I think are numbered to 300 so I would have I would have and they'd be backwards No, it's not this one. It's mark simian to 2023 dl hall Gold foil steve carlton another one Another triple crown one There's mo again legends of the game Here's to 499 harris and vader green bubbles Ice what do they call those?

I mean not that I would ever do this, but how on a scale of 1 to 10 How upset would you be if I just knocked over all the towers of normalcy? um On a scale of 1 to 10, like one being not upset at all Yeah, and 10 being like what just a murderous rage. Yeah Wow I don't know probably about a five Really maybe kind of funny I just kind of piled them all up together like it's Like a bunch of playing cards or something like that, but then we'd be on like so Yeah, that's true right right Hobbies at hobby scammers on tiktok or something like that Look at these guys knocking over this valuable valuable series two You're numbered Ford proctor to 2023 giants I mean the shipping team the sorting and shipping team Right sports card radio would be like you're uh the all the silver packs pack stacked right there the remaining ones Yeah, I was happier because I know he was going to help me out Which I appreciate as ryan crydler tigers rookie auto For who he knew in exactly gris Six out of 50 I was saying this year's uh Tops will be kind of interesting with uh like some of the black borders will be There'll be probably less ps8 10s right because you know, you'll be able to see flaws easier Which I think might be better because then they base rookies might have some sort of It's chris taylor and a black all aces card I don't know if that oh it is number two two ninety nine We saw an autograph tristan mckenzie autograph on an all aces card. Yeah, look really cool I was like they should make the whole a whole like deck But maybe there might be someone who's like I don't want to be two Or queen I you know what speaking of pop ones i've considered just grading random cards that I feel like no one I Get pop ones out of them You got you got it There we go You darvish erin savall I don't know why that cracks me up some random card to go to some like Guy at a car show pop one Pop one and be like what I don't even know that player pop one max christie pop one.

Oh, maybe gunner was series one. I think he was He has like the inserts back in a back in the day I've seen some inventions in a from like ancient china where they had like the mouth of a dragon will hold a marble And it's jaws And then when an earthquake happened The ball would fall out of the The mouth of the dragon and they'd be able to find out what direction the earthquake came from and sometimes that'd be Hundreds and hundreds of miles away when faults slip.

I don't know Why that would be in effect maybe I don't know maybe there's a level of Maybe there'll be a there's a level of travel or something like that that they want to get teams accustomed to or whatever, but I don't know what that is what that's about so All right, and aren't they expanding I don't fall to college too closely, but aren't they expanding the field? Or they've always talked about expanding the field. They're expanding the field for college football But are they expanding for the bracket?

I personally never used it Never used in Netflix until they started offering streaming Options I shouldn't have been but the other day I was shocked that that Our collie teddy jasmine still uses red box I Wouldn't even know where a red box would be at this point I feel like in some dodgy convenience store in the uh, the The seedier corners of the south bay Is that what you're talking about duncan? Like the little kiosks vending machines For a second There was kind of a shadow on his upper lip that at a quick glance It might look like he has a rolly finger style mustache and I was like george brant with a mustache Yeah, I think they were they were I feel like those The most the popular one here was called red box. I feel like There was a ton of those for a little while and then they disappeared Somewhat quickly Wow back in the 80s terry is saying the liquor store by your high school In the valley had a machine where you can rent adult movies from And it was vhs tapes. How would you read? How would you return them back to the counter? Would you put it back into the to the machine?

We were looking at the Floquet theorem to analyze the solutions to the system dx by dt is equal to a of t into x where a is a time periodic matrix in general of size n by n. And we had found using Floquet theorem that the general solution to this equation can be written in the form that the typical solution to this equation can be written in the form e to the power rho i t into P i t. And rho i is basically defined as using the characteristic numbers of the system mu i is related to the eigenvalues of the matrix C that we had seen earlier. And so we had found that the solutions to the system can be expressed in this form. So now let us use this and apply this to the Matthew equation that we had found earlier. Now before we do this, there is one more theorem that is necessary. I will just state it without proof. This theorem is also not very difficult to prove. It can be proven in a few lines. So the theorem says we are going to use this theorem to make qualitative conclusions about the solutions to the Matthew equation. So the theorem once again says is a statement about the characteristic numbers to the system that we are looking at a of t into x. So n by n system where a of t plus t, a is a periodic matrix. So if the characteristic numbers of the system are mu 1, mu 2 up to mu n, then the theorem says that the product mu 1, mu 2 up to mu n. So this is a product. The product of all the characteristic numbers is given by exponential of integral 0 to t trace of the matrix a of t dt. Recall that the trace of a matrix is the sum of all the diagonal elements of the matrix. So you have to take the matrix, the coefficient matrix of your system, add up all its diagonal elements, plug this that will give you in general a function of time and plug this to this integration and take the exponential of it and that will give you the product of your characteristic numbers of your system. Note that the upper limit of integration is capital T and so the product will just be a constant. Now let us, we will need this theorem in addition to what we have concluded from Flucke's theorem for analyzing the Matthew equation. So let us write the equation that we had found. So recall that we are analyzing the motion around the lower fixed point for the Kapitza pendulum. So our equation was d square theta by dt square plus g by L plus a omega square by L cos omega t into theta. We had linearized about the lower fixed point. So psi was 0 plus theta and then we retained the first term in the Taylor series approximation. Theta is anyway non-dimensional. So let us non-dimensionalize time also. So we define a non-dimensional time which is just omega t. Capital omega is the frequency with which the point of suspension of the pendulum is being oscillated and the amplitude of that oscillation is this quantity small a. So with this you can immediately see that d by dt is equal to d by dt tilde into omega and similarly d square by dt square is equal to omega square square by dt tilde square. So if you plug that into this equation I want to express all derivatives in terms of t tilde and so this equation just becomes d square theta by dt tilde square. There will be an omega square here plus g by L plus a omega square by L cos omega t or cos t tilde is equal to 0. This I am going to write it as d square theta by dt tilde square plus if I divide throughout by omega square then I get g the first term inside the bracket I get g by L omega square. I will call that note that that is a non-dimensional number. So that is g by L omega square plus here I will divide by omega square again and so I will get again a non-dimensional number a by L cos t tilde into theta is equal to 0. That is my Matthew equation whose coefficients are now non-dimensional. I will define them as alpha and beta. So theta is now a function of t tilde. So alpha is g by L omega square and beta is a by L. You can interpret these non-dimensional variables easily g by L recall is the natural frequency of the pendulum is the square of the natural frequency of the pendulum if the point of suspension is not oscillating. So this alpha is just a measure of the natural frequency of the pendulum square of the natural frequency to the forcing frequency. Similarly, beta is a non-dimensional measure of the amplitude. We are moving the pendulum point of suspension up and down with an amplitude small a. So it measures how far has the pendulum gone compared to its string of length L which is treated inextensible here. So beta is a by L. So that is the physical meaning of these two non-dimensional numbers. So our system now becomes write it again here. Let us convert it into a set of two first order ordinary differential equations the way we had done it before. So if I put that here then x dot is y and y dot is minus alpha plus beta cos t tilde x. So we have to remember that theta is defined as x and theta dot is defined as y. These are definitions. So with those definitions I get dx by dt tilde is y. This is a function of t tilde and dy by dt tilde is x which is also a function of t tilde with a coefficient which is again time dependent. So now I can write this as a first order system. What I want to do is I want to make conclusions about the solution to this first order system from whatever we have concluded earlier about from Floquet analysis. So we can write this first order system as d by dt of x and y and the coefficient matrix here a of t is a time dependent matrix as you can see 0 1. This will be time dependent and then this is 0. I am just rewriting these two equations in matrix format and then this has to be multiplied by x and y. So now you can see that this is my a matrix a of t. You can also see that a is a periodic matrix. It has a time period 2 pi. So t in this case is 2 pi because alpha and beta are just constants. So after 2 pi cos t will repeat itself. So alpha plus beta cos t will also repeat itself. So now let us apply the theorems that we have encountered. One we have proved the Floquet theorem which says that the solution to this system can be written as a product of e to the power some characteristic exponent into a periodic function. The periodic function will have the same period as the matrix a of t. So in this case the periodic function will have a period of 2 pi. We have one more theorem which we have written without proof which says that the product of the characteristic values of the system can be obtained by this formula. Now note that the a matrix has trace 0 for our Matthew system. So the trace here is just 0 in this formula on the right. So the integral just evaluates to 0. Exponential of 0 is 1. Our Matthew system is a 2 by 2 system. So we have only two characteristic values. So we immediately conclude that mu 1 into mu 2 is equal to 1 for our Matthew system. There are only two mu's mu 1 and mu 2 and the product of them is 1. Told you before they need not be necessarily real numbers. They can also be complex numbers but their product is always 1. So with that and recalling that mu is the mu, mu's are the eigenvalues of the matrix C that we have encountered while proving Floquet's theorem. So now let us see without actually working out the matrix C and without actually calculating what are the values of mu 1 and mu 2, what are the qualitative conclusions that we can draw about the solution to the Matthew equation using what we know so far. So recall that mu's are the eigenvalues of C. So mu must come from a characteristic equation. C in this case would be a 2 by 2 equation and if mu is the eigenvalue then mu are the roots of the characteristic equation for C. So that characteristic equation will be a quadratic equation in this case. So it will be of the form mu square sum of roots. The roots are basically the eigenvalues into mu plus product of roots. The product of roots in this case is 1. So I know that this term is 1. So mu must be the root of an equation whose form is this. This we already know. Let us call the sum of roots as some function phi. Phi in general you can see that what will determine phi. There are only two parameters in our problem alpha and beta. So by changing alpha and beta I should be able to tune the roots of the system. So phi in general is expected to be a function of alpha and beta. So the sum of roots is let us say phi and now let us explicitly because this is a quadratic and because we can write down the roots of the quadratic, let us write down the, so now we have our quadratic takes the form phi alpha beta mu plus 1 is equal to 0. Let us write down the roots of this quadratic. So this will have two roots mu 1 and mu 2 and this will be of the form phi minus b plus minus root over b square minus 4 a and c are 1. So let me make this shorter and then divided by 2. For reference I will write the quadratic again. This is the quadratic whose roots are mu alpha and beta and this is the formula for those roots. Now we obviously do not know what is phi as a function of alpha and beta. Otherwise we could have determined mu analytically. But you can immediately see that a number of cases arises which will decide the structure of mu and in turn decide the structure of the solution to that equation. The first thing that you should notice is that that here unlike all the problems that we have found the solution to the equation in this example as I have said before has exponential rho i and rho could be purely imaginary it could be purely real or it could be in general a complex number. In particular if it is purely real and if it is if rho is positive then you can see that your solution has two parts an oscillatory part which is the periodic function p i of t. But it also has a pre-factor which is exponential and if the exponent is positive then that pre-factor will grow. What that means is that the math equation can have solutions which grow in time and which grow exponentially in time. Of course the periodic part will cause them to oscillate but the amplitude will grow with every oscillation. We have not encountered instability in all the examples that we have seen until now we have only encountered oscillatory behavior. This is the first example where we will find that depending on the value of alpha and beta we can have oscillatory solutions they may or may not be periodic but we can also have growing and decaying solutions. In particular the growing solutions will be of interest because they signify instability of the system. So we can distinguish now depending on phi. So you can see that whether mu is complex or not depends on whether phi is greater than 2 or less than minus 2 or in between the 2. So we can distinguish four separate cases and I am just going to write down the qualitative aspects. Until now we have not determined phi analytically but you can conclude this. So phi is a function of alpha beta and if phi is less than minus 2 this is one case. So you can see that phi square minus 4 is real and so mu 1, 2 are both real and because the sum phi represents the sum of mu 1 and mu 2 they are both real. Their product we have seen is 1 which is positive. So we cannot have one of them positive one of them negative. So in this case both are negative. So that the product is positive and the sum is less than minus 2. One can use a similar reasoning to show that in this case the general solution to our equation theta of t tilde is c 1 e to the power sigma plus half i t tilde plus c 2. This is the general structure of the equation when phi is less than minus 2 and sigma is greater than 0. Note that this is an unstable solution. There are two parts to it. So e to the power half i that is an oscillatory part. So that is not going to diverge in time. However there is a e to the power sigma t tilde and e to the power minus sigma t tilde. If sigma is greater than 0 then this part is going to decay in time. e to the power minus sigma t tilde is going to decay but e to the power plus sigma t tilde is going to grow and it will grow in an oscillatory manner. There is also p 1 here and these are 2 pi periodic as we have seen from flow case theorem. So now you can see that this solution when theta is less than minus 2 we are going to have growing solutions but the growth is going to happen in an oscillatory manner. In particular you can see that this half indicates will grow in time but the oscillatory part will have half the frequency of the forcing. Now similarly one can also write down the solutions for theta greater than plus 2. Then again we have unstable behavior. In this case again mu 1 and mu 2 are both real and positive and the general solution looks like this and so this like usual is a 2 pi periodic function. This is another 2 pi periodic function and sigma also here is greater than 0. So again this will grow, this will decay and so once again you have an oscillatory response and the oscillatory response now an oscillatory response which whose amplitude grows with time and in this case the frequency of the oscillation will be the same as the frequency of the forcing. So here this response this is an unstable response. This is also an unstable response but both of them are oscillatory unstable responses. In the first case the frequency is one half the forcing frequency. In the second case the frequency in the oscillatory part is the same as the forcing frequency. In addition we also have bounded oscillatory solutions to this. These occur when theta is equal to plus 2. In that case mu 1 is equal to mu 2 is equal to 1 it is not theta it is phi alpha beta. So we have looked at the range where phi is less than minus 2 greater than plus 2 and so in this case we will so there are 3 separate regimes now. So phi is equal to plus 2 mu 1 mu 2 1 then phi is equal to minus 2. In this case mu 1 equal to mu 2 is equal to minus 1. In this case there is a periodic solution periodic solution of period 4 pi. So there are 2 solutions one is periodic and the other one is unstable. Here also there are 2 solutions one is periodic with period 2 pi periodic solution of period 2 pi while the second solution diverges in time. We have left behind one more case which is phi of alpha beta is between minus 2 and plus 2. Here also you get bounded oscillatory solutions and the general solution here in this case is of the form theta of t tilde c 1 e to the power i mu t p 1 of t plus c 2 e to the power minus i mu t p 2 of t. This is 2 pi and this is 2 pi periodic and mu is real. So this in this regime the solution is bounded you do not have any growth because you can see that there is no quantity none of these terms grow in time this one oscillates this also oscillates and p 1 and p 2 are anyway periodic functions of time. So solution is bounded at all times but not necessarily periodic. So without even finding phi as a function of alpha and beta we are able to conclude about the qualitative behavior of the different kind of solutions to the math equation and we have found out that there are various all of this can be thought of on the alpha beta plane. So on the alpha beta plane at every point you will have a given value of alpha beta. Now depending on whether we know what is phi as a function of alpha and beta we can demarcate these various regions. So for example this will be a set of curves this will be another set of curves this will be a region on the alpha beta plane and similarly the other two inequalities phi less than minus 2 and phi greater than plus 2 will also be regions because these are inequalities. So what these do is these split up the alpha beta plane into various parts in each part depending on which regime we are in we may have bounded oscillatory solutions or we may have exponentially growing solutions but they will typically grow in an oscillatory manner and we know what is the frequency of that oscillation. In general one can plot those curves numerically they are analytical they are perturbative ways of also plotting those curves. We will not go through those but I will just tell you the qualitative nature of these curves on the alpha beta plane. So the qualitative nature of the curves on the math equation. So again for reference I am writing down the equation d square theta by d t tilde square plus alpha plus beta cos t tilde into theta is equal to 0 this is the math equation. Using Floquet theorem we have found that in general the solution to this equation can be written as exponential to some exponent into t multiplied by a periodic function. This generalizes what we knew from normal modes if this part was constant then we could have just done exponential into lambda t. Now we have to do exponential into some mu into t multiplied by a periodic function of t. We have also used Floquet theorem to deduce qualitative nature of the solutions on the alpha beta plane. So let me draw the alpha beta plane. So recall that alpha is here the natural frequency of the pendulum square of the natural frequency to the forcing frequency. And beta was the amplitude to the length the amplitude of oscillation to the length. So on the alpha beta plane so we will put beta in the vertical axis and alpha here. We will get various curves depending on those inequalities that we solve for. In general the qualitative nature looks like this. So we will get these tongue shape structures. There will be a single yellow. So let me one this point is 1 by 4 this point is 1 this point is 9 by 4. So in general at every alpha is equal to n square by 4 where n goes from 0 1 2 3 and so on. So you can see that this is n is equal to 1, n is equal to 2, n is equal to 3 and so on. Now what do these regions imply? So inside each of these regions.  Suppose you are inside the red region or this region we will again observe unstable behavior unstable behavior. There will be a qualitative difference between the unstable behavior in the yellow region and the red region in the sense that in both cases we will see exponential growth with respect to time. But the oscillatory part in one case will have the frequency of the oscillatory part will be one half the forcing frequency. In the other case the frequency of the oscillatory part will be the same as the forcing frequency. We will get similar such tongues if you keep going here. So beyond this, so this is 1, this is 2, this is 3 and say even at 4 you will get another such tongue. And the first tongue is where you get unstable behavior and the frequency of oscillation is one half the forcing frequency. So it is called subharmonic. The next tongue is a harmonic tongue. We see growth, exponential growth but the pre-factor is an oscillatory function whose frequency is the same as that of the forcing frequency. So this is the same as the forcing frequency. So this is harmonic. The first one is subharmonic and third one is again subharmonic. So alternatively we will see harmonic, subharmonic, harmonic, subharmonic like that alternative behavior. On these tongues one will see the behavior that we have outlined here, this and that. So on these tongues there will be periodic solutions. Again there will be two solutions. One will grow in time, diverge whereas the other will be periodic. So on the subharmonic tongues the on, so if we are at a point on the tongue, so if we are at a point on the tongue, so on the boundary not inside, then one would see a periodic solution whose period is subharmonic, so 4 pi. So this corresponds to this solution, the lower one, the lower solution. On the harmonic tongue if you take a point on the harmonic tongue we will see another periodic solution and that would be period 2 pi. So here if we take points, so this is again a subharmonic tongue. So let me take here. So if we take on this, on the boundary then there are periodic solutions but there are also diverging solutions on the boundary. What about the region in between these tongues? So these regions are stable. This is stable. Again there will be a tongue which will come out when n is equal to 4 but between the n is equal to 9 by 4 tongue and the n is equal to 4 square by 4 tongue there will be another stable region. This region, so this, if you choose alpha beta in this region, in this region and in this region, in between the tongues then you will get stable bounded oscillatory behavior that corresponds to this, this solution. Once again this is an inequality, so we are getting regions on the alpha beta plane. Every equality produces curves, there are many such curves, there are many such tongues and every inequality will produce a region. So we have regions of stable behavior, we have regions of unstable behavior and the boundary between them there are periodic solutions but there are also diverging solutions on those same boundaries. So this is the qualitative behavior. There is also another single line which comes out, they will just put it here out of 0 and this region is stable, this region is stable. So this is what we infer about the qualitative nature of the solution to the Matthew equation. This equation can be easily solved numerically on the computer using a suitable package like Mathematica or Matlab. I encourage you to try this. You can choose, take this equation, choose simple initial conditions. You can choose theta of 0 is 1, theta dot is 0. It is a second order equation. Solve it by choosing a certain value of alpha and beta. If you have a stability chart like this, you can find out whether the choice of alpha and beta that you have made corresponds to points inside those tongues or corresponds to those regions which have indicated in the light blue line. If you choose a point of alpha, beta, so if you choose something which, if you choose a point here then you would obtain bounded oscillatory behavior. If you choose a point there for example, you would obtain exponential growth but it will oscillate and grow and the oscillation frequency will be subharmonic. So it will be half the forcing frequency. So like that one can go to separate different parts of the region and get different kinds of behavior, stable or unstable. Physicality implies that the pendulum, the oscillating copies of pendulum that we are seeing, the lower point is not necessarily a stable point. It depends on alpha and beta. So by suitably choosing alpha and beta, one can get oscillations of increasing amplitude. Of course, when the amplitude gets much larger, one has to take into account the non-linear terms and so one, the exponential growth that one finds here in the unstable regions may be cut off by higher order non-linearities. Similarly, the topmost fixed point and that is a more interesting part of the Capizha pendulum, the topmost fixed point in the absence of forcing we know is an unstable point. If we keep the pendulum like this, it is going to fall. However, by adjusting alpha and beta suitably, one can render the topmost point stable at least for small amplitudes. There are some very interesting videos which demonstrate this experimentally. I encourage you to look up in Google. Look for stabilization of the inverted pendulum.


So, I think everybody hears me. Thank you for coming. I'm watching our presentation. Now I am pushing my digital watch. Okay. Now, unfortunately, my life-shaking writing is just the leader of the excavation is not here. So, now as Sasanga said, we have to find another doctor writing which is me. Okay, so our excavation is quite interesting for us at least because it is the first excavation, which is not a solid excavation inside Istanbul Big Boundaries. And we are talking about a place, a place 20 km west of Bosphorus. People are saying that there is nobody in Istanbul left, but anyway, with a couple of seasons we provided that it's not the case. So this is Kucukçek Meca Lake. One of these two, the typical lakes there, which is near North of Marmara Sea. And in two areas, we call it areas 8 and area 24, I think you are able to follow the cursor. Yeah, this is area 8 and area 24. We carried out a couple of seasons of excavations. Okay, in this excavation we found more than 50,000 ceramic pieces, 20,000 glasses and many thousands of iron and metal parts, but a couple of these findings are quite surprising. Now in the left hand corner, upper corner, this is tin. Inside a typical mid-second millennium BC Anatolian ceramic. And this is the same ceramic a little bit together. And there are two statutes, typical early heated types. And one is them, this goddess, we call it goddess, is almost 100% iron. And the other one is 70% iron and 30% tin. And also we have a single piece of this white slip two separate ceramics. Some Myosinian, two pieces of Myosinian, we cannot tell exactly the date, but from the context we can say everything's within this 16 to 14th century BC. And a small handle from the west of Bulgaria. And the last but not the least, this lead figurine, probably a goddess mounted on it there. So let me talk about a little bit our excavation. So for a couple of years, we just went with a very good, I would say, financing, which was stopped now, unfortunately. But anyway, what we did, first we started with the absolute building, which was destroyed at 6th century AD. And when it was destroyed, it was one of the quite big churches. This is the absolute building we started. And this is the final form after a couple of years. So the ground level was about 12 and a half meters above the sea level. And the lowest level we just came was 9.6 meters above the sea level. The surprise was that in this upside, so we encountered first this goddess, this iron goddess, it was quite corrupted. But we made analysis and XRF fluorescence techniques and we found that this is the most we can renovate it because it could collapse anytime. And what we are showing here with red line, this is in this trench, there was about 30 centimeters of sea sediment with lots of mollusk sea creatures and sea sand. And below that, there was coming lots of architecture and other findings. When we go deeper than the sea sediment, something came out like that. And a couple of days later it was clear that it was a stone, not building, but some kind of storage area with 70 to 100 centimeters inside the diameter. And here, which as you see here, there was this, it is thin. But as we know that in very wet conditions, powder thin can become very kind of cream stuff. And it was this. And you see the same storage area from the different point of view. And in this drawing, number one shows where we encountered the goddess and this two where we found the tin. And this is XRF and it says 99.5 tin and the rest are very small percentage of iron. Okay, now after a couple of weeks of excavation, what we discovered about the absolute building, there was lots of other findings. And as you see this goddess we already introduced you here, we have this tin. But also one single piece of this separate shards come right here. There are other typical Anatolian type of myths, a second millennium BC Anatolian type of ceramics here and just a couple of meters to the west, southwest of this upside, within the same building. We have other type of Anatolian red stuff and this Mycenaean pieces and this Bulgarian handle. When we go further 40 meters from the upside, when we go there to another trench, so we encountered another small Hittite-top statue. This is a god, the 70 percent iron and the rest is 30 percent tin as I said. And also we had another excavation area, as I told you, this is number eight. And in this number eight area, we're excavating first and regularly a huge early Byzantine or late Roman palace complex, probably belonging to Constantinus in this sense. But of course in Turkey, you know the Turkey, some real amateur excavators work much harder than the professional ones. And here, sorry, in a couple of places there was some very deep trenches made by these robbers. And from these trenches, we were able to a little bit look at the very past because the regular excavation was going to the Roman times or we were just about to touch anything at times. But from these small excavated places, we were able to collect this second millennium ceramics and other stuff. Well, in this picture also there was another thing. This is a lead figurine again from the Hittite times. As I told you, so we tried to make some charcoal analysis, C414 analysis. And the surprise was that they gave 6,000 B.C., 6 million B.C. And there are some calculated to early Bronze Age shirts also coming in the same area. Yes, Anatolian type pitcher, what we found. Also again the same, I'm showing the same Cyprus stuff and other red Anatolian type of ceramics. What we counted was there was 14 distinct vessels. And as you may see from here, they were the copies of this metallic vessel, which was quite common in the early parts of second millennium BC. It's a metallic, very expensive and there are copies in the ceramics. Also in this trench, there was this gut, small figurine of gut. But in the same trench, there was another thing which was not so abnormal in a place which has a big harbor. This is some bitumens from Mesopotamia, probably most probably from Mesopotamia. But it shows that what we are digging was an international harbor. Just to remind you that we have two different excavation areas, this is 8. And in the 8, so we found this goddess mounted on a deer. And the analysis shows that 70% is lead and other things. The size point of view, this is something that is very coming in Hittite time, as you see lots of goddesses just mounted on deer. And they are in Hittites known as De Lamma, protective guard of goddesses.  This type of animal type of weight was common in the Egyptian also. Well, the conclusion is as I said, but the question, how this material could have come here? From the Uluberund shipwreck, we know that there was a huge trade connections and commerce in all eastern Mediterranean. And people were thinking that the ships were going up and down from Bostors, which was very tricky. And because we have to think that Uluberund ship was, this is the replica of Uluberund ship and this is the plan of it. You know, there is no rovers. These are not proper row, they are just steering. With such a ship, if you put 20 tons of a typical late Bronze Age load, you cannot go to north from Bostors. You cannot go neither from the Dardanelles, which is slightly easier than Bostors. People tried this. There's an organization which made the replica. They cannot sail up with a good wind up the Dardanelles. They never tried to Bostors. But what can be done was this type of ships with hundreds or 170 rovers, just in a typical terrarium.  But these ships cannot carry any sizable trade goods. So this is also my PhD thesis. The commercial people doesn't care about sending ships to this place or that place. They care to send their goods safely, cheaply, and quickly from A to B. So this is the purpose by myself, that the ships were coming from agency, going the narrow, this is of Gediwold Peninsula. And another ship was carrying to Batonea, our excavation site, and small landfruits going to the only natural harbor in Black's area, and it was just distributed. So this is a detailed version of the same thing. Thank you very much. So I think I will be able to fast and cut short my presentation.


Hey, I'm Alda Resnack from Lackamalab First Nation, Thunder Bay Ontario, born and raised. My first nation was flooded in the 50s, so most of my family's been in Thunder Bay for that time. I've been in the Indigenous Student Council with the Catholic School Board since 2008, and it's been a great experience, a great journey. I've got an awesome opportunity to work with students, which is a goal I set out for myself when I was a young person, to help out with Indigenous people, Indigenous communities, Indigenous young people, and just let them know that the opportunities that they have are there and to take advantage of them and to help them over where I can. Indigenous Counselors Program, and it's been around for a long time, but it started fairly small with, I believe, well, of course, it started with one counselor, moved to two, and then it slowly expanded, and I believe we're up to six. Now, it's been a program that's proved pretty positive and beneficial for the kids who come to our schools, and with our numbers growing, it's had a lot of impact on the families and the people that we work with, and a positive we're all feeling for our school and our board as well. Well, when I started, I started in the senior elementary schools, which was 12 to 13, 12 and 13. I guess sometimes as young as 11, and about six years ago, I moved up to the high school, which of course is from about 14 to roughly 18, and that's where I am now, and I've been there, I've been, or sorry, I've been here for four years full-time as the counselor here just at the high school, which was nice. It was nice to come to one school and settle at one school because it's just easier to keep on top of things and have a schedule that is consistent with the kids and their days. When I was going back and forth to different schools, it was difficult if you had a problem towards the end of the day and it wasn't fully resolved, and then the next day you had to go to another school, of course that situation would be on your mind and you ultimately leave it in the hands of others. That's hard as a counselor sometimes just because when you're the person working with an individual, you usually know the ins and outs that you know and it's hard to get those do-tails over to somebody else, so it's been a lot better being in one building and overseeing the students of one school because then I'm always there for them. We have a well-utilized space. It's absolutely for everybody. We host a lot of religion classes, of course indigenous language classes, history classes, geography has been here, before civics, law, we've used the space for a lot of different classes. Teachers just ask me if the room is available. We always are if we are, if we aren't, I'd let them know. For the most part it's available for everyone as well as students who just need a break, a calm place in the school, for them to gather their thoughts, get back to normal, get back to where they are, it's where they could operate properly within their classes and within education and give them that little space that hopefully is a connection to their, in a lot of cases, the indigenous students and their background and reflect who they are and be a place for them to basically have and and ultimately own. This is their room so I just I'm lucky to be a part of it. In terms of counseling, my education's in, I took three years, native child and family worker, a long time ago graduated 17 years ago, 18 years ago. I went on to Lincoln University, got an undergrad in indigenous learning and sociology. A lot of the students use this room themselves. They come in here and launch a lot of our, a lot of our northern students. I think they like this, this inclusion in the smaller areas, the less bustling areas which they're used to in their smaller communities. So a lot, a lot of my kids from the north who I have a great relationship with will come in this particular room and be close and that doesn't mean that we're, we're involved in any, you know, deep counseling or anything like that. It's just a space that they feel comfortable that is, happens to be a part, attached to our culture room. And our cultural room, of course, we use for indigenous culture, cultural activities. We drum, we drum once a week. We've got an after-school program which right now we're making a vegan sign. I got an idea to watch a couple movies and do a couple other art projects as well. And it's, it's, it's very good. It's, it's, you know, the kids know it's theirs. They're always, they're always taken part and it's nice for, it's a nice change from when I was a younger person, we didn't have the culture room when I attended this school because I attended St. Louis before as well, to now where the kids really feel like they have a space that's theirs. It can be themselves, can relax. One of the greatest confluence that, that I get from the students is, well it feels like this place, you know, isn't really a part of the school. It's, it's somewhere where I could just be calm and be myself and it's, it gives me a good feeling because I think we're doing the right thing when, when that happens. In terms of, say, the law class, the teacher will come in and, and look at the forms of, of, of law that, that, you know, maybe First Nations would use before. In terms of religion, although, you know, our, our, you know, our First Nations don't follow a religion per se, but we do have a spiritual aspect of the way we do things and, and to utilize those, whether it's, you know, smudging, we, we, we smudge, we, we drum, we sing, we, you know, do a lot of things that, that are there for the spirit of the students as well and make sure they're, you know, being taken care of in that, in that way. I think the aim is, is to make the kids, of course, be successful in education. You know, it's, it's, it's not a secret that the numbers of our graduating students, students in terms of indigenous students is a little bit lower than, than the mainstream students of, of, of our town. So we're, we're of course doing what we can to, to bring that level up to, to let the kids know that, you know, we're, there's a place for them to, within these walls, within, within our, within our board or school board, and as well for, for them to know that they can prosper and, and do well in our education system too. So to, to help them along that, that educational path is, is the reason why we're here as well. Yeah, just, you know, me as a counselor with, with a background in counseling, it's, it's really nice to be there and help them through some of the unique problems that our indigenous people face, which could be unique to, to each community or each individual or each family. And, and, and, and, you know, to help them through those times, because that was, you know, that was a big goal of mine coming out of this household because I just saw a lot of the issues that we do have within our community. And how I can hopefully make a difference and impact some of the people that we work with and some of the families that are here. I grew up with a lot of forward and first nations people going to St. Louis with, just crossed the way here. And they always left out for me. So I feel very blessed to be able to work with their kids and their next generation and kind of give back to what they gave me. So it's, it's a cool little connection. Well, one of my favorites has to be, is drumming. I just, Mr. Lane, our, our, he's in our religion department. He's taught at Albufor as well, great guy. He is the, the, the, the drum carrier and he, he looks after our drum takes it home when he has to and, and looks after it. But he also brought it into our school, which I'm so grateful for. And I didn't have much drum experience, although ever since I was a young guy, I was always drawn to it. Of course, when you go, you go straight to the circle into the drum. But it was always something I dreamt of doing. I just didn't really have those connections growing up. I grew up pretty, pretty urban and within this town. And those opportunities weren't quite there. So when Mr. I'm not forever grateful for him to, to bring the drum in, to do it now. And we were just drumming at lunch. It was absolutely amazing. And I get to know all these songs and learn these songs and just have a drum going on within the halls of our school. It seems like something that's pretty amazing. And, and, and you know, it's, it's very different from where we came historically where it was illegal to draw and illegal to have powwows. So it's, it's, it's really, it represents the change that has happened and, and, you know, being able to see all the positive things that are going on within our First Nations community and to bring that culture into our school is just, this isn't really cool in it and great to be a part of this one. I'm grateful for it. If there's something going on or one of us isn't feeling that well, well, let's go drum a little bit. Let's, let's, or let's have a smudge or, you know, some of the things that we do as First Nations people to let loose, to, to, you know, to unwind a little bit. And, and it's great. I mean, I still have, after we sang today, I keep singing the songs when we're around the kids in the hall. I like when I'm an new brain through the kids at lunch, the song's still in my head. I'm still singing. So it's, it's, it's an amazing thing to be a part of and for me to develop too as a person and be able to bring it in the schools. I'm just very happy to do it. It's very cool. Just to help my memory, I'm going to bring up all the pictures we have, just so I don't forget anything. Yeah, we do a lot of art projects. That's what that's kind of our focus right now. We're looking to make our room ours and put up some of the, some of the artwork that we do. I put the plans in front of the students, students to sign up what we want to do, where we've developed a couple being in science. And we've got, we've got another one that we're working on right now where each student is doing a letter on a canvas and we'll eventually finish it up and it will go on the wall out of here. Also, we, we have the, we've had the app program in town with you, which is the app program or in our school, which is the Aboriginal Venture Program. It's run through L.E.U. They send in a couple people run some programs that connect students to the university, make the connection of showing that it is not unattainable. It is not so far-fetched. And it is something that a lot of us do as Indigenous people. We get connected with the university, we go to school. It's our treaty rights. So it's a good opportunity to be able to go to school and pursue your education. So that's, that's a huge one. It was a great one and it's really, ran really well as well. We're hoping to do it again. And if, if, if anything right now it's by request, the kids come back and they want to be a part of the app program this year, they want to be a part of the app program. So we're, I'm really looking forward to getting that up and running again. I'm sure we'll be making the contact before Christmas and get that going. We're excited for it. As well, we did the hospital tour, which is the career of all the, kind of a tour of all the careers that you can, you can take within the hospital. And even I was blown away by that. You'd think it was just doctors and nurses. There's a men's side of things. There's running the plant that run the hospital. There's working in the foods department. There's so many opportunities there. And it's, it's, it's such a big, it's such a big part of our city that it's, it employs so many people that it's a great opportunity for kids of this area to be a part of. So we just, we get to show them that. One of my favorites, and I think all the students favorites is our day on the land that we do in the spring. And last year was fantastic. Mr. Lane brings the drum. We've had people from IFC, the Indian Friendship Center come and do their teachings with the kids. We eat. We go for a walk. We, we walk to the beach. We, we're in nature for the entire day. For most years it's, it's usually sunny and nice. So it's just an amazing day for us to be out, you know, in the, in the semi rural bush and, and, and, and, and, you know, let the kids kind of be kids and be themselves and connect with each other and just to see all the positives that come from it. I can't think of one behavior problem over the, what six years I've been doing it. I don't, I've not, not had one. And so it's, it's just an amazing thing that we get to do. I'm thinking of doing one in the fall as well, just to get the kids together and connected and, and be able to, in the elements as well. So I, because that's such an important, you know, piece of who we are as Indigenous people and for them to get an education that way. As well, the LU tour itself, getting to see, getting to see the school, the college tours as well, taking kids out to the post-secondary institutions and seeing that the opportunities that are there for them. In my counseling as well, a lot of times it happens with senior students, but we get, I've got, you know, my drawer full of 90 programs that the college has to offer. I'm going through there because you never know what you might want to do, but there are all these options. So we start, you know, start planting those seeds of education in their head at the younger ages and hopefully they develop into what they want to do. We've had a couple of cool programs last year was the Orca program where kids got to go to Forland Historical Park, get a canoeing, a certificate for canoeing to be able to do it properly. They also spent a few nights there and got a lot of Indigenous teachers with it and made a lot of lifelong friends. It was something just amazing. Again, the kids are requesting that for this year. So it's a great, it's a great thing to have the absent tour that came through in September, and you know, it's great that those people and that these institutions have these people reaching out to the Indigenous students and come to our school, present each of our students and start answering those when they're able to answer the questions that the kids might have in their possible pursuit of post-secondary education. So yeah, it's been amazing. I'm just thinking of a couple more things here.  Such an important thing. The kids are looking for it every year as well. It's just another one of the things that our city does that really, you know, I think helps the Indigenous kids connect to who they are and what their history is. It's so nice to be a part of this growing thing in our school board, which is, you know, which serves our Indigenous community and our Indigenous students and kind of let them know what they have out there and show them that there's opportunity to. There are a lot of different ways you can measure the success. I mean, as a counselor, of course, I just, and I kind of follow up with a lot of students with just the, how do you feel? And if a student comes in down and having a tough day and they leave here feeling better and have some tools to deal with what they're dealing with, then that's a successful day for me. You know, to be able to get them back into, you know, their classes, because of course we're an educational institution as well, so to get them back in their classes and not have to think about some of those problems that each and every one of us have to certain degrees in our life, then that's a success. As well, just, you know, the utilization of the room itself, you know, being able to tie our room and our culture and our history into all of these different classes. Earlier, I talked about all the classes that come down and how it fits into each and all of these, you know, different subjects. It's really neat to see how much of an impact we've had as First Nations people on this area and this country, so it's, yeah, it's a cool thing. Again, I keep selling broken record, but it's a real cool thing to be a part of. Indigenous education is, I think, you know, personally, I think there's a starting point for it. I think, of course, understanding the history is a great thing. In terms of, you know, us as a school, you know, a provincial school, we recognize that quite a bit, because we are in the North, our population is higher for Indigenous students, and sometimes with the province, it's hard for maybe them to understand that of how big our Indigenous population is. So, if we could get those history lessons to everybody, and then I think it's easier for all of us to move forward, and that's a great, great thing. But as well, just, you know, the true learning of Indigenous people being out, nurturing the roles of what you do for your community, you know, when we're out, you know, have the kids help me fill the fire, I've got kids looking for wood, I've got kids, you know, and those are the kids, and they naturally go to those things, which is very much our way of doing things. You know, so, you know, those aspects of being out, you know, getting out, whether it's, you know, learning about our environment, learning about the water, learning about the trees, learning about the medicines, of course, as well as the things that keep us who we are, medicine wheel teachings, some grandfather teachings, which have been with us forever, though that's very much Indigenous education, and it as well comes up in a lot of these different subjects, and it can be utilized there as a guide for Indigenous education. So, I think, you know, and as well, just recognizing it, recognizing the contributions that Indigenous culture, history bring to all these other elements of life, and I think we're just getting that point of change, and I think we're starting to recognize how beneficial a lot of our teachings, a lot of our wisdom can be in, you know, the Western society, you know, you see the hospital doing it now, you see courtrooms doing it, you see policing doing it, you see all these benefits from what our basic teachings, our basic teachings, so it's amazing to, you know, start seeing these things, and even just this conversation is helping me recognize all the good things that are happening, so it's great, yeah, it's nice. My vision for the next 10 years would be, I think, you know, of course adding a lot of what we have and where we've come from in terms of all those great teachings into many of the subjects that are out here now, because I think it only benefits them. But as well, I think, you know, in terms of a city and a community, the history teachings to be involved in the curriculum would probably be a good thing. I'm not a teacher myself, but as a counselor, I've seen over the years in a school board how beneficial, you know, our Indigenous history can be, and I think I really feel that way because when I was finishing high school and we didn't get a lot of teachings or a lot of history of who we are, I pursued it, of course, in my education as, you know, a counselor at the college and then as Indigenous learning at the university. I wanted to learn this stuff and I wanted to know about it. I just think it's something that would be so beneficial if it started at these younger ages and you think of, you know, something like racism and how much that would go away if we were aware of each other. I think it's a known fact that, you know, in a lot of cases, humans are afraid of what's unknown. So if we enlighten, you know, the general population to who we are and what our history was and the contributions that we've made and we look ourselves in a positive light, how beneficial that can be for this entire community. So I see my kids growing up in a place where their history and their background is respected and you know, and they're proud of it and they get to learn at a younger age than I did and not just on their own, not through our educational systems that we have in place right now, but that's where I'd hope we'd be in 10 years. You know, I really appreciate you guys doing this. I appreciate this study. I appreciate looking at these things. Like I mentioned earlier, it's nice to see all these doctors so-and-so's, you know, I recognize last name is Moeller from, you know, the North Shore and to see these people in these great positions and trying to impact education and, you know, do better things for not only indigenous people in our community, but our country. I think we're all in this together and I think that's a teaching as a First Nations person. So we've got to work for everyone. You know, the original treaty is like, you know, one of the long long belts where we're both there together and we're able to move forward together without, you know, affecting each other in a negative way. I think there's a way we could always all move forward and respect each other and I hope that, you know, that's what we're getting out of this and I think we are. Hey guys, I'm Oliver Asnak, Indigenous Student Councilor at the Funding for Catholic District School Board. I'm going to give you a little tour of our cultural room that has gone up about three years ago and we're so proud of it and it's an awesome room and it's definitely the student's room. It's their room and I'm just so grateful to be a part of it. So here we are. We've got our information board, things going on in the community, different things come down as they happen in the community. A little bit of our project, our library, which we were lucky to have and have a lot of support to grow and a lot of good information there. Of course, our drum, Mr. Elaine is the keeper of the drum. I'm so grateful for it, much for your showness and we get to drum. We usually drum on it weekly and have a little more if need be as well. It's some of the art projects that we've had in the past, your teacher, no child left behind. Where we get to view movies with the students, we're going to be watching Indian Horse in the next couple of weeks. So I know it's a very impactful movie but we will have the students prepared. But also a little feature of the room as well. Our table and it's a little messy right now. We've got the kids working on some art projects and some students doing homework here as well. So this is our table. We've got a couple of computers here as well for the students to use. Some student artwork, some sage hanging in the west as it should be.  And then some artwork that was purchased for us by the board as well. So this is our culture room and of course my office connected to it. So yeah, we're grateful at St. Palitz and we're lucky to have it and yeah, this is our space.
