Hi everyone! We're here today to talk about applications of the mean value theorem. Hopefully you remember what the theorem actually states. If we have a function f that is continuous on the closed interval and differentiable on the open interval, we're guaranteed some x value to exist in between the endpoints of the interval so that the derivative at that x value is going to equal the slope of the secant line that connects the two endpoints. So if you think about how that might have implications for applications, we talked about, and you might remember hopefully, that a derivative gives us an instantaneous rate of change but a slope will give us an average rate of change over a time period. So what we have with the applications of the mean value theorem is a way to figure out where it is or when it is that the instantaneous rate of change is going to equal the average rate of change. So let's look at a few examples. So the first one involves the height of an object that's given by this position function and we're asked to find the average velocity during the first three seconds. So what we're trying to find is our change in position over change in time. So we're substituting into the position function. I'll leave you to make sure you're getting the right answer. So that works out in the end to a negative 14.7 and the units of measure on this would be meters per second. So remember what it means when we have a negative velocity in this case. That tells us that the object is going downward, which makes sense because we know this object was dropped from a height of 500 meters. So that very much does make sense. So what we're asked to do in the second part then is to use the mean value theorem to verify that there's going to be some point in time during those first three seconds where the instantaneous velocity is going to equal that average velocity we just found. So what we're finding is the derivative of s and I'm going to call it c. That's often the variable used to indicate that value that is guaranteed, the x value that is guaranteed by the mean value theorem. We want to see where that derivative is going to equal the average rate of change. So if you go ahead and find the derivative of the function that would give us a negative 9.8 and remember I'm calling it c instead of t. If you were to call t that's fine, no harm done. We can always just call it that's the c value in the end. So no harm. So dividing we get that c is one and a half seconds. So what that's telling us is that at the one and a half second mark the instantaneous rate of change at that particular time is equal to that average rate of change that we found over that time period from zero to three seconds. So let's look at a more business kind of application. So in this case we have a company that's selling a new product. The number of units sold is given by that s equation there and t is the time in months. And so the first thing we're asked to find is the average rate of change in the number of units sold. So that's going to be change in s over change in t. Now it's over the first year but remember we were told the time was in months. So in this case we have to do s of 12 minus s of zero. So an easy way to do that might be to use our graphing calculators and use some of the built-in features to do that and just make it a little bit easier. So let's go ahead and switch to the calculator and let me go ahead and put in that equation. And I'm going to do the up and down fraction for this. So an easy way to evaluate that remember we can use the calculators kind of built-in function notation so to speak. So let's go back to our quit screen and I'm going to pull up y-vars and my y1 because I know I want to take that function and substitute in 12. So this is essentially f of x notation y1 of 12. And I'm going to do that then at zero and subtract the two. Now because I did do that up and down fraction it probably is going to give me a fraction but that's okay. We know we have to divide that by 12. So what I could do is just divide it by 12 point. That's going to force there to be a decimal in there when it gives me the answer and now it gives me a nice decimal answer. I just thought that might be easier because remember we are talking about how many units sold so it might be easier to think of that in terms of a decimal. So what we have for here let's go back is that this is equal to 64.286 and that would be units per month. So this is telling us since it's positive the rate of change is obviously increasing at a rate of 64 just over 64 units per month so that's a good thing. It means they're selling more and more every month so that's I'm sure what they want to have happen. Now the next question again including the mean value theorem is asking us when it is during that first year that the instantaneous rate of change is going to equal the average rate of change and the number of units sold. So what we want to find is where that derivative, again I'm going to call it C, is equal to that 64.286. Now this is another great opportunity to maybe use our calculator to do some of the work for us because of course it will graph the derivative for us and we could really set that equal to this value that we found and just find the intersection. So let's go ahead and try it that way. So one thing I might want to do is take this 64 value and go ahead and store that. I'm just going to call it A because of course for as much accuracy as we can get we want to preserve that decimal. So let's go back under y equals. Alright so we want the calculator to graph the derivative of what we have under y1. So remember we can use our n derived function math 8 to do that. And I'm going to pull up reference y1 here and I want it to do the whole graph so x equals x and while I'm thinking of it I'm going to go ahead and turn off that first graph because I really don't care what the first graph looks like. I really just want to have the derivative equal to that value. So under y3 I'm going to pull up A. So it looks like that. Now I probably need to set up my window. I have a hunch if we were to do zoom 6 we're not going to get very far. So let's consider what a good window might be. I'm thinking 0 to 12 because it is during that first year that we were trying to find a value in there. So that would be 12 months. Remember that y3 we had that 64.286 so we know our y maximum has to go up at least that big. So I just set it to y max of 70. Alright so let's look at the graph. It might take a little minute to think. So here's the derivative graph and here comes the 64.286. So we want to find that intersection. So if you hit trace we'll go ahead over and trace to that. That's pretty close. So let's go ahead and run our intersection function and there's our answer 3.292. So it would be at just over three months, the three month mark, that the instant tiniest rate of change at that particular point in time is equal to the average rate of change over that one year period. And as you do more and more real life applications like this, you know using your calculator to help you get to these answers really definitely do that. That's perfectly acceptable. Really what you'd have to make sure you show is what you see here that you're setting the derivative equal to that numerical value. That's really explaining what it is you're doing. You're just then using the calculator to assist you to solve it. So let's look at another one. We're talking about the growth of a red oak tree. And the growth of the tree is approximated by this cubic polynomial. So these big decimals. And t is the age in years, two years old to 34 years old. So we first want to find the average rate of change in between years 20 and 34. So we're trying to find change in G over change in T. So I'm thinking we might want to evaluate this similar to how we did the last one and use our calculator to do that. So let's go ahead and get the equation set up under y equals. And then we can go ahead and figure this out by using the calculator's features. So let's go back under y equals.  I'm going to leave the other two for now. I might need those. So just be careful as you're typing this. So let's go ahead and find that slope value we need. So let's go back to our quit screen. Let me clear this out. So similar to what we did in the last problem, we're going to set up the numerator by using the build-in function notation. So we're doing y1 at 34 minus y1 at 20. We get that and we need to divide that by 34 minus 20. So that's 14. Nice value. We don't even have to store that. We can just use that as it is. So 1.148. So that would be feet per year. So again, make sense that it's positive because obviously the tree is going to be growing. Not shrinking as it gets older. So that very much makes sense. So our last question then is going to ask us where in there from 20 to 34 years does the instantaneous rate of change in the tree's height equal the average rate of change? So if you think of it, what it is we're trying to find, the derivative of the function at C is equal to that 1.148. So this is another one. We could use our calculator in a few different ways. We could do it like we did the last one and find the intersection. We already had some of those values on y2 was already set up for our derivative. So we could do it that way. Another option, this is a polynomial. So we could actually find the derivative by hand and then maybe solve it. I think when we do it that way, we'll have a quadratic so we could even use the quadratic formula. So maybe let's do that first and then we can confirm our answer graphically. So if we go ahead and find the derivative, we'll have a negative 0.009. And remember I'm going to use C. If you use T squared, that's okay. Plus 0.274 C plus 0.458. And that's equal to the 1.148. So we need to subtract that 1.148 over to the other side. Because remember if we're going to want to do quadratic formula, this quadratic does have to be set equal to zero. So when we subtract that away, we get a negative 0.69. So you should have the quadratic formula programmed into your calculator as a program. So let's go ahead and use that. So I'm going to go ahead and pull it up. I'm going to use the one I have called Quadrat. So remember it's asking you, it's prompting you for the coefficients. So the leading coefficient is that negative 0.009. A linear coefficient is the 0.274.  Don't forget to make a negative 0.69. And you'll notice we get two different answers. Notice only that second one falls. Remember we were trying to find somewhere in between the years, like 20 years old and 34 years old. So it's looking like that 27.674 is really the only quote unquote good answer. And the second other one is a valid answer, but it just isn't in the interval that we were given to work with. So we would say it's at 27.674 years. All right, so why don't we confirm that graphically just to double check? So let's go back to the calculator. Let's go under y equals. So what we want to do is set the derivative equal to that 1.148. So once again, I'm going to turn off my first function. Again, I don't necessarily really care what it looks like. There's y2 is already set up for my derivative, so we're good to go there. Let me change y3 to the 1.148. Might have to adjust my window. So y2 is my derivative and I'm setting that equal to the 1.148. So let's go under the window. Remember we were talking in between years 20 and 34. So why don't we just go ahead and set up our x's as that? Y min I'll keep as zero. Now remember I'm trying to see where that derivative intersects with 1.148, so I really don't have to go up too high for my maximum. So let's just maybe to go to three and just go ahead and hit graph. So here's your derivative graph coming first. And here comes the 1.148. So I want to find that point of intersection. We should better get that 27.674. There we go, got it. So a great way to confirm graphically what we were able to find algebraically. Hopefully this provides you with some really good examples of the mean value theorem. The big thing you want to take away from this is that when you are dealing with real-life applications, really what you're finding is where the instantaneous rate of change, your derivative, is equal to the average rate of change which you're getting from the slope of the secant between the endpoints.


Role model essentially means you planted a mango tree and a coconut tree.  Sir, Guruji, what I understand is then we should not find similarities of ourselves to someone else. Then why do we have role models? Role models? People keep asking me, sir, Guru, who is your role model? I tell them, I don't roll with the models. You see all these things you're picking up from western cultures, here we never created a role model. Just look back on this culture and see, this is about constantly striving to evolve yourself. Role model essentially means you planted a mango tree and a coconut tree together. Coconut tree went straight up and tall. Mango tree saw, oh, I need to be like him and chopped off all its own branches and left one like this. This is going to be a lousy mango tree. Yes? You don't need a role model. The thing is we're trying to drive people, young people especially, with either carrot or stick, offer them something, otherwise beat them a little bit.  You want the circus monkey to do tricks. You give it a banana, it will do trick and again it'll sit like this. Again you have to hang another banana there, otherwise it won't do.  I see, I'm not saying about this institution. Across the world I've spoken in every business institution. I see it's become so unhealthy. Everybody's thinking, what will I get, what will I get, what will I get, what will I get. Very few people are thinking, what can I create?  Will either bury you or cremate you, that's all you will get? Which one do you prefer? Because sometimes you even get fired for that reason. Once happened Shankaran Pillai got fired from his job.  Unless you do something totally wrong probably. But outside you know small things you can get fired. As market economy grows and multiplies, people can get fired just like that. Shankaran Pillai got fired just because he asked a simple question. Smoking or non-smoking? Why for such a simple thing a man must be fired? But what he was supposed to ask is cremation or burial. So what is it that you're going to get at the end of this life? You will get nothing. The only thing is, did you live an intense and involved life? That's all you have? What have you got, whatever I got? What have you got, whatever I got? This is rubbish. But this has got particularly into business schools. This has gotten big time. In United States business school nobody's thinking of anything. What's your first salary? The previous batch, what did they get the first salary? I must get little more than that. This is all because everything has become goal oriented. There's no significance for the process. You know we have business events every November. I think some shots were there of Ratanta and others. All the major leaders, business leaders in the country have come. Every year we have 200 CEOs who go through four and a half days of training called Insight. Last year, one of this, you know, somebody who was running a reasonably major Malpai National Company said, Sadhguru, we pick the best from the IIMs and IITs in the country and we keep paying them more and more year after year. But you, you don't have single IIM here. I said, I all have only school dropouts. But your organization runs better managed than our corporation. How's this? I said, see, this is all it is. You guys are goal oriented. You want to get somewhere. Here people who are working for me, they don't even know where to go. They don't even care where they go. All they know is they are absolutely devoted to the process. Right now what they're doing? They're so absolutely devoted to it. Everything that's there in them is coming out in that single action. This is all a human being can do. Either you're doing your best or not doing your best, isn't it? You may not be able to do as well as somebody, but the question is, are you doing your best in every moment of your life? For this you need devotion. I'm specifically using the word devotion because devotion means people think going to the temple or church or mosque or whatever is their destination. No, you tell me, has anybody in any field of activity, either sport, music, art, business, spirituality, politics, whatever, has anybody reached any significant states of achievement without being devoted to what they're doing? Have they? Has anybody gotten anywhere? I'm asking mediocre nonsense they've done. They may be they've gotten more and more salary, but they did not do anything significant.  Life is only in the way you experience it, not in what you have. What you have will mock at you after some time. If your experience is not good, people can live in a palace and be terrible. So what you possess is not at all the point. How you experience it, everything is the point. Isn't it? But right now the entire world has gone towards this direction. You young people must change this. The intensity of your experience is more important than the immensity of your possessions. Isn't it?


Dear brothers and sisters, what I want to do is I want to just talk about the severity of the position of our parents that we may or may not really understand it. So I hope that to remind myself and to remind you of that today may Allah have mercy on them and on us. Beir, what we think, kindness towards parents is a characteristic of the believer. Al-Hassan al-Basri, he defined it saying that, and Beir is obeying the parents of everything that they ask, so long as it's not disobedience to Allah. And Rukouq, which is the office of Beir, is to disown your parents, but in a way that you deny them the goodness that you have. And by the consensus of the scholars, being respectful and obedient to one's parents is an obligation. Al-Hassan, Rahmatullahi alayhi, he said that being respectful to one's parents is an obligation. And he cited the ayah in the Qur'an and your Lord decreed that you should worship none but him and that you should be due to follow to your parents. To better understand it, the scholars actually laid out some conditions. If you want to see or you want to check whether or not you're actually fulfilling this obligation, then there's some conditions you can start by looking at. Number one, he mentioned that he or she should place the pleasure of his parents above the pleasure of anyone or anything else, including himself. Of course, he accepted the pleasure of Allah, but anyone, including himself, his wife or his children. Number two, he should obey them in everything they command or forbid him, whether he agrees with his desires or not, so long as it's not an disobedience to Allah. And number three, they mentioned that he should present them with anything he feels they desire, whether those parents ask for it or not. He should present it with kindness and to present it with mercy, understanding that no matter what he does, he will have shortcomings when it comes to fulfilling the true kindness that his parents reserved. So Allah swt, his love comes when our parents love us and his anger comes when our parents are angry with us. Ibn Abbas, Allah swt, said that there are three things that will not be accepted if its innate is not fulfilled. And from amongst those three things he mentioned, the verse in the Sons of Luqman, where Allah swt says, and thank me, and thank Allah, and thank your parents. Ibn Abbas, Allah swt, said that whoever thinks Allah and is not thankful to his parents, Allah will not accept from them. The prophet, peace be upon him, he reminds us that the pleasure of Allah is from the pleasure of the parents and the anger of Allah is from the anger of the parents. So we should stop and maybe think about how it is that we actually are treating our parents. Do we find ourselves, you know, if they need something? Do we find that we kind of shy away from them when they need something? Do we find that we only are revisiting them as often as they would like for us to visit them? Are we neglectful of their rights to the extent that some of them we find them in the retirement homes nowadays when they're in the conversion homes? When we argue, because sometimes unfortunately we argue, and the argument ignites between us, how do we respond?  May Allah protect us from that. So compare that type of treatment to those who came before us. There was a man named Dibyan in Aliyah Thawwi. He used to travel to Mecca in the scorching heat of the sun with his mother. And during that travel, he would stop and dig a hole and fill it with cool water. He would say, He would say, come and sit down in this cool water. Come and sit down. Cool yourself. So the relationship between him and his mother, his mother was like his best friend. If you were to ask our children today, who's your best friend? They're going to say BFF. Who's your BFF? Right?  But unfortunately today we find that it's a little different. So what pleases our parents, in fact, should be the thing that's most important to us outside of peace and Allah SWT. So long as we make sure that our priorities are straight, that Allah comes first, or right after that the parents are there. The scholars understood this principle and in their lives they would give you examples so you could see it. And one chef at one of the demands of our owner, his name was Hawa Bin Shireh. He used to give classes in front of this house.  And go feed the chickens. And in the middle of the class, he would come by and say, I'm the big chef I'm teaching at my mom's home. I've got to wait with him. What he would do, he would stand up, he would leave the haraqa and go feed the chickens. So we want Allah SWT to accept from us, we want paradise, we talk about it, we dream about it. So I'm just reminding you if you want to attain that then you should all look down, should look down and you'll find paradise at the feet of your mother. In the Ahmed, he narrated, and he narrated the story from Mu'awwad-e-Ibn-Jahimah. His father Jahimah, he went to the prophet peace be upon him. And he asked, oh messenger of Allah would like to go out and fight for the sake of Allah SWT. I've come to you for advice.  He said yes. He said then stay near her. For at her feet is paradise. So on the other side, making our parents sad, or you're making them cry, is one of the many ways you can earn the angle of Allah SWT. So we need to be mindful of that and try to avoid it as much as possible. Imam Ahmed also narrates from Abdullah Ibn-Alami, that us, of Imam Ahmad, that the man came to the prophet peace be upon him. And he came to give his allegiance, his bayah. And he said, I've come to pledge allegiance to you for Hijab. And I've left behind everything. I left behind my mother and my father. They were crying.  And the same way that you made them cry, made them laugh. Make them happy. And in Allah, Allah SWT said that making one's parents cry, is from amongst the major sins. Shaykh An-Qasim added to this the commentary. He says, Alhamdulillah, how can we leave our parents crying? Tears at the throne of Allah's Shakespeare. Tears at unsettled the angels and the heavens. And then claimed that we want to go for Jihad. So that Allah would be pleased with us. Go back and make them happy with your visit as you make them sad by your departure.  During the funeral of his mother, hadith and afternoon, and when asked for the reason of his tears, he said, why should I not cry when one of the doors of paradise has now closed? I told him, To ask Allah's counsel, Ahlul Mahdi, But this is unknown as we did not hear from him. ballot of Allah speech of Allah We brothers and sisters, we, in fact, we reap what we plant and we stick to it that far away. So among descriplies, there's a boy, who was born blind. and his widowed mother, the good Muslim mother she was. She didn't lose hope in her dua'a and she continuously prayed and as a result, a few years later the boy, his sight returned to him. After that happened, she realized also that the village that she lived in wasn't suitable for him to gain a proper Islamic education. So with her son in hand, she migrated to Mecca and there she saw to it that he studied and was instructed to go on hadith. The later we come to the young man's focus. So this young man would travel far and wide taking hadith from this one and from that one, collecting hadith from here and from there and so much so that he can follow the book and sits next to the Qur'an in authenticity forgetting that his mother that raised him well his mother named him Muhammad in this ma'aleen and many of us know him today as Imam al-Bukhari. Dear brothers and sisters, how often is it that it's a question so you can answer this isn't it how often is it that a farmer is going to plant wheat and it comes out of the sun cloud to another doesn't happen to them can't happen how can someone farm the seed of one plant and expect some other plant to grow just doesn't happen so similarly some parents they leave their children kind of wobbling in the mud of the worst of TV the worst of music, the worst of movies bad companionship then when the child reaches 12th grade and wants to go to the prom with his girlfriend or he enters university and stops praying or he gets married to a non-believer or he himself or she becomes a non-believer and all of a sudden we're wondering what happened it's the harvest of what we planted if we don't raise our children to be obedient then what do we expect them to do if we ourselves are not going to be practitioners of this team then you can't expect that to come from your children if you are not waking up for a project and see you day in and day out sleeping in then you're not going to say you can't expect them to be the sahabah or you can't do the basic minimum so there are some things that we can do to kind of rectify the first thing is we have to learn how to discipline our children with love and it can be done and we have examples you don't have to always go back in history with history but the one you can find is some great examples there is an example of a qishan which is a non-believer who one day he missed his son from Salat al Juma looking around at the Juma and he can find his son afterwards he sees his son and he asks the questions and I didn't see you Salat al Juma what happened I said don't want my son my donkey couldn't make the trip so what did he do he said ok for that entire, for the rest of that year he made his son walk to Juma and you might say that's pretty harsh but he made him do that because number one he wanted him to understand the importance of Salat al Juma number two the love he has for his son understanding that this is that obligation or if he's not trained in understanding the importance of that obligation it can lead to his ultimate destruction so he wasn't afraid to be disciplined but he gave him good love secondly the piety of the father and mother reaches the children in the Quran Allah SWT he will cause the sword of Qidr and how he will be broke the wall for two walkings and he mentions Qidaya as for the law it belongs to two orphan boys in the town under it was a treasure belonging to them and their father was a righteous man and their father was a righteous man and their father was a righteous man it's interesting because in the tafsir of course you can see how Allah protected these orphans because of the piety of their father but in the tafsir it's mentioned that this is actually a grandfather said in generations we can remove also Zayid in jubairah said I often lengthen my prayer I lengthen my salah for the sake of my son perhaps Allah will protect him because of it in conclusion we should really stop and reflect on the virtue of beer and water being or kindness towards our parents Abumalli Nasru he said that the man asked the father what deed is most beloved by Allah and he said he replied prayer on time the man asked and then what he said respecting and revering one's parents and then what he said Jihad for the sake of Allah and one last thing we'll mention here and it's important what Zayid said number one this virtue is a meaning by which one's sins are forgiven in that ayah which we mentioned earlier and we enjoy a man to be beautiful and kind to his parents the next verse actually tells us they are those from whom we shall accept the best of their deeds and both will look their evil deeds they shall be amongst the brothers of paradise respecting our parents and leaders to gender so the Prophet peace be upon you he was heard saying amongst his companions may he perish may he perish and they asked him who O Messenger of Allah he said he whose parents attained old age in this life one of them or both of them and he does not enter paradise because it is goodness for him the goodness for his parents doesn't stop when they die so one of the men from the Ansar they came to the Prophet and they asked him O Messenger of Allah may he be left of my dear to my parents that I should present to them after their death and the Prophet peace be upon you said there's four things number one pray and ask forgiveness for them number two fulfill their pledges number three be kind to their friends and number four maintain the ties of kinship that come from only their direction that's what's left from the gift O Messenger of Allah O Messenger of Allah he said my father died and for an entire year I didn't ask Allah for anything except that he believed my father so remember brothers this is the room of Safiqa inshallah for the time remember as you meet your parents today the words of the Prophet peace be upon you he said and he duty had in your kindness in your kind treatment towards your parents O Allah forgive us forgive our parents reward them with the finest reward O Allah elevate their position in the hereafter and in this world make that which befalls in an expiation for their sins O Allah grant them residence in your deus the highest level of jannah with the prophets the city of clean and the marks O Allah grant them residence in your deus the highest level of jannah with the prophets the city of clean and the marks O Allah elevate their position in the hereafter and in this world make that which befalls in an expiation for their sins O Allah grant them residence in your deus the highest level of jannah with the prophets the city of clean and the marks O Allah grant them residence in your deus the city of clean and the marks O Allah


What is going on, guys? Welcome on into today's Fandall Hurry Up. Our tour around the NFL continues as we are looking to get you set in your season-long fantasy football drafts, going team by team, giving you a fantasy football outlook. I'm going to give you three guys for today from the pride of Baltimore, the Baltimore Ravens, that you should keep an eye on in fantasy football drafts. And this is actually an offense that I love because there are really only three guys that I'm targeting here that I can see as impactful league winners. We know that the backfield carries get split in Baltimore, so it's really hard to identify a super high upside guy there. I think you've got three guys that clearly stand out above the rest, and I could see any of them being key pieces on a team that lends a league this year. And of course, when we start with the Ravens, you guys know that probably means we start with Lamar Jackson. And I think with Lamar, we're being very punitive into what we saw most recently. We're quick to remember the four interceptions against Cleveland, the injury against Cleveland, and kind of struggling at times last year. We also forget just last year, Lamar had some absurd performances both in real life and in fantasy had to come from behind wins over Kansas City, Minnesota and Indianapolis. And he scored at least 34 half PPR get points per game in all of them. Really, it was just an off year for Lamar with his accuracy. He's never been the most accurate guy, but he was 28th in on target throw percentage last year, I think in a contract here, coming back healthy. If he can sneak back into the top 20, it will suit his game. And this is a guy we know doesn't really need a lot from his throwing to pay off in fantasy football. He averages more rushing yards per game than Alan Camara. He has a higher rushing success rate than Aaron Jones or Leonard Fournette and he averages more rushing yards over expectation than Devin Singletary. He is truly a dynamic rushing talent. They can also throw for 250 plus yards a game and throw a few touchdowns. The passing game to me is just upside. It's extra. I don't think Lamar's floor is nearly as poor as a lot of fantasy evaluators do. And I think he's a key consideration. Once you get into that mid tier of the top 10 of fantasy quarterbacks Lamar is a guy that I probably would pluck off the board above above a bunch in that same area. But moving on from there, we look at Lamar's targets and they are absolutely fantasy viable as well. We know that starts with Mark Andrews the big tight end and he would be fantasy viable enough just because he was the tight end to last year averaged over 14 half PPR points per game. But his role is getting even better this year. Hollywood Brown, Sammy Watkins, both vacating a target shared north of 21%. Andrews already led to all tight ends with a 26.1% target share. He could push 30 this year as far as the tight end is concerned. And I think if Andrews is a guy that scores a lot and you think maybe touchdown regression is on the way for him, he scored nine times last year, but pro football focus is expected fantasy points model. They actually picked him for 10.6 touchdowns based on his work based on his role based on his red zone work. And you look at Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews. They were the two dominant tight ends in fantasy last year. Both of their roles are getting better because the wide receiver one, he's out the door. I'm really trying to do whatever I can to leave my fantasy draft with one of those two guys. I think it's a significant drop down to Kyle Pitts and Dalton Schultz. So I really try to emphasize regardless of draft capital if Kelsey is there, I want to take him and if he's not there, Mark Andrews is a great, great second option. But there is one more guy to keep an eye on in this Ravens offense. Obviously the backfield is a little concerning, but I think there is a second year receiver that is primed for a breakout exactly like we saw from Michael Pittman Jr of the Indianapolis Colts last year thrust into a starting role on an offense that we kind of ignore because it's not sexy. It's not high flying. It's not a huge passing offense that is Rashad Bateman, the former second round pick from Minnesota, entering his sophomore campaign. And I love Bateman this year because you never really know how much of a target shared dilemma is the player's ability versus just what was in front of them. You look at what Bateman had to deal with last year, Sammy Watkins, Hollywood Brown and the aforementioned Mark Andrews. They are all primed to lead their own teams this year in target share. If Watkins ends up being the wide receiver one in Green Bay, Bateman had a lot of competition this year. It's not nearly as much so and still in his rookie year. He managed a 17.1% target share and if you're worried about the ability, he actually had a higher adjusted fantasy points per target metric than Hollywood Brown did. So Bateman should fill into this role well. And the thing that I love is there is not a lot of competition here. You have James Proshay, Devin DuVernay. It feels a lot like Michael Pittman's competition last year with an older TY Hilton, Zach Pascal. They never fixed that position on the other side. The entire season, it was Pittman that was chowing deep into the playoffs and championship games of your fantasy league. I think Rashad Bateman can absolutely do the same.


Right. Good morning, everybody. I just doing a sound check online to make sure folks online can hear us in the room. Yes, please. Perfect. Thank you. All right. Good morning. My name is Budge Currier. I'm the chair of the 98 technical advisory board, and we're looking around the room and based on new legislative updates, we're supposed to have a majority of the members in-person to establish quorum. And as we do our quick math, we know we do not have that. So we'll go through roll call just to establish for the record that we don't have a quorum. Can you advance to the second slide, please? And those online should be seeing the slides. So I'm here, Budge Currier. I'm present. Dr. Bowie. Present. All right. Dr. Rafla Juan. Present. All right. Director Lizanne Wick. I'm remote. Okay. Thank you. Julian Argon. Absent. Lon Nguyen. I'm here remotely. Okay. Kristen Miller. I'm here remotely. All right. Amitrius Sydney. I'm here remotely. All right. Jeff Faber. Here. Tracy Gonzalez. Jennifer Kenton. All right. Absent. Erin Riley. Present. Jennifer Dwyer. Present. And Serena Lewis. All right. So in order to establish quorum, we have, there's 14 members, so we would need eight present in the room. We only have six. So if you can go to the next slide, we don't have enough to establish quorum. And the Bagley Keen Law was updated and went into effect on January 1st. And it required that a majority of the people be present in person to establish a quorum. Now, if you're doing your quick math and you count the people that were online, there are an additional one, two, three, four people online. With those four, we do have enough to establish a meeting, but unfortunately it can't be an official meeting because in order to be official, the majority of people need to be present in person. So we can't have a meeting because it's not official. And if we talked about anything, it would be an unofficial meeting that would violate the law that says that you could establish a serial meeting by having a combination of people in person or linked together via, say, an email chain or in this case, a video conference like we are now. So we're in this weird catch 22 where we've got an unofficial quorum established, but we can't actually establish a formal meeting because we don't have enough people in person. So what we're going to do, we have to just adjourn the meeting and end it. We will publish the slides that we prepared for today because the information is accurate, but unfortunately we can't proceed with the agenda or go through any of the agenda items. Moving forward, please take a look. If you could go to slide like 12 or something, Liz, all the way at the end where it shows the next meeting dates, all the way, yeah, very, very, and second to the last slide. Those of you that are board members, please take a look at the next meeting dates. And if you cannot attend in person or if you think that your job has changed such where you can't attend in person moving forward, let us know and we'll happily find a replacement. But we do need to make sure that folks are attending in person moving forward. We've got a lot of important business to accomplish and the rules have changed. So just want to make sure everybody's aware of that. With that, we can't entertain any comments or anything I don't think because we don't have a meeting. So if you have any questions about the updated rules, I put the link in the slide deck, which we'll post online and you can obviously, if you go to the next slide, you can reach out to our board liaison representative and their contact information is here. And we can talk to you about in detail about logistics and upcoming meetings. So I appreciate those in the room that made the effort to come and we'll have to terminate the meeting at this point. Thank you, everybody online and our apologies.


Today, I'm going to talk about something I've wanted to talk about for a while But I was waiting for something new to happen to kind of support my my stance here and I want to talk about how Nintendo handles DLC and why on the surface level I've always been against the way Nintendo uses amiibo Now I like amiibo. I use amiibo every time I play Breath of the Wild I love the little bonuses you get. I love the collector's value of them I think as a collector's item amiibo are just amazing I think honestly collector's value is why the amiibo are probably so as popular as they are people like having little figures of their favorite Nintendo characters and they're affordable you know typically $13 for one $15 if it's a premium one obviously you can usually get a three-pack of certain ones for like $30 so you get them even cheaper like they are cheap collectible figures and I like them but they've always included this additional NFC functionality which allows them to do things like be essentially keys that lock content behind the amiibo now for most games this has just been costume changes you know Mario Kart 8 tap it in you can dress your mi character in various costumes and that's fine I don't really have an issue with costumes that don't really impact the game or give anyone an advantage in the game as a thing and even in single player games of Breath of the Wild you can you can unlock like the hero of time clothes and all that stuff that's fine none of that really gives you a competitive advantage in the game that players that don't have the amiibo don't you know don't get yeah they can't dress up like the hero of time but they don't need to like there's no advantage to it it's not even close to the best armor in the game or anything like that so I'm cool with stuff like this but there are times that I do not like content being locked behind amiibo and a lot of this deals with with dlc and included content and I've always been a supporter of of dlc I don't think dlc is the devil like so many other people do I back in the day back in the 90s and stuff more more so with pc gaming I would always buy expansion packs I mean I bought like two or three expansion packs for Age of Empires two or three expansion packs for Age of Empires two expansion packs for Lord of the Rings or Lord of the Rings Lords of the Realm like I bought expansion packs all the time The Sims is another popular game like expansion packs were cool with me yeah you'd spend like 40 bucks which was almost the cost of a whole brand new game but you would be getting so much content that it felt worth it and if you didn't have it it didn't necessarily feel like you you were missing out right if you just played the original Age of Empires never got any of the dlc so you didn't have some of the extra races and maps in there the original Age of Empires still was a really really great game so it didn't feel like you were missing out now to me that's kind of what dlc is right it's just a easier way to get expansion packs because back then you had to go buy a physical media and install it on your thing now you can download everything so why not do it cheaper through dlc the problem is obviously that a lot of companies have done some shady things with dlc whether it's locking content that's already on the disc whether it's day one dlc that adds like half of the game into the package so basically they shouldn't have just charged you 80 dollars for the game in the first place instead of 60 and just gave you everything i think that would have less backlash than than charging 60 plus 20 dollars for dlc but nintendo has generally done a really good job with dlc the dlc like for hyrule warriors i know it was koi tech well not 100 nintendo but i really thought it was was a value-packed proposition the original game was certainly worth the money and all the additional content you got for 20 bucks as well worth it i felt what they did with mario kart 8 with nintendo perfect stuff i mean yes on wii u i know on switch you can get all the content now for one price but back when they released it on wii u i thought that 20 dollar proposition was great because you still had a game that had all the the same amount of content you expect to get in every mario kart game and then for 20 dollars you basically could you know you know add half a mario kart game in terms of characters and tracks to the game so it was excellent i i like that kind of dlc and in some cases i actually like the dlc they're doing a breath of the wild now there are situations where i feel like nintendo drops the ball with dlc and i'm going to wrap amiibo into this because amiibo is actually part of the problem uh but it's not always exclusively the problem now the reason i waited to talk about this was one particular news that i thought was true but we needed to wait for confirmation um to enjoy fusion mode and metroid samus returns you have to have the squishy metroid amiibo that unlocks fusion mode as well as a fusion suit which again i don't think the suit actually gives you any advantages in the game over stuff you already have in the game it's just a costume change but uh so that doesn't that part doesn't bother me but fusion mode is a is basically a higher difficulty level in metroid samus returns and you have to own the amiibo as confirmed by euro gamer uh who confirmed it with nintendo you must own the amiibo to get this higher difficulty and there's some issues with this for starters you can't get a hold of the amiibo it is sold out uh and if if previous sellouts on amiibo are anything to go by it could be six months to a year maybe two years from now by the time you could finally uh get a restock that you could easily get a hold of this amiibo so one you know you yeah you could pay $13 to get this difficulty mode but it's locked behind an amiibo and there's no other way to get it so if you can't get a hold of the amiibo you can't enjoy a higher difficulty and it could be years before you can that's a problem that's one issue of with locking content behind amiibo another is the fact that they expect people to pay $13 for an additional difficulty mode uh that i can argue should just be included in the game we're talking about a game that is remastering or reimagining the original metroid 2 so if you're going to reimagine the original metroid 2 want a higher difficulty level be something that you should include in the base package as an incentive to buy it people don't need an incentive to buy amiibo uh i don't know if nintendo i think nintendo hasn't realized that these incentives to buy amiibo don't need to happen you just need to have really cool looking figures that people want that are associated with the games you can have costumes behind them whatever that's fine you know you can maybe even allow people to save data to it that's fine but they that's additional functionality people are buying these for collector's value uh and that's an issue paying for a difficulty mode to me is an issue and for a while i was okay with it in breath of the wild like you get master mode uh for your first dlc pack you know it's already released plus you get the trial of the sword and i'm fine with the trial of the sword be an extra content that's fine i realized we've had cable war deals and other things like it in the past but i honestly don't think trial of the sword uh even existed when the game came out like i think they actually had to build it from scratch so that's fine it's literally additional content that's cool but having an additional difficulty mode and charging money for that difficulty mode feels odd you know in zelda we've had hero modes for a while now uh doesn't really feel like we should be paying to get that difficulty mode uh even as much as i actually really like master mode a lot uh it's one of those things that even if master mode wasn't ready at launch it kind of should have been shouldn't i mean they spent the last six months or so development getting the game working properly on switch you're telling me that like they couldn't have a few few team members on the side working on master mode and just tacking that in right before launch or even as a day one patch or something or even as a week later patch like they could have just patched in master mode for free it didn't need to be something you paid for and whether or not people would have paid 20 dollars for a dlc pack that was just trial of the sword with some costumes and then you know the story mode at the end i don't know people probably would have paid 20 bucks just for the story mode dlc so i you know it is what it is i i it frustrates me that things that should basically be included with the game are being charged extra for so you're being charged extra to get a difficulty mode that makes the game better at least better for some people i don't i don't understand locking it and metro is even worse because it's difficulty mode hey it's available day one but it's behind a 13 dollar amiibo that you can't get your hands on and this has always been my issue with locking content behind amiibo when you lock content behind a consumer product and you don't give consumers any other way to get that content let's say you could you can't get a hold of that amiibo but you could through the game spend five dollars digitally and get that mode unlocked i would still have an issue with the fact they're charging more money for difficulty mode but at least there it would you know kind of make it so the amiibo thing wouldn't bother me as much because then you wouldn't have to buy the amiibo in order to get that content but you have to get a hold of these amiibo that are really hard to find to enjoy the content that you will gladly pay for i it's just it baffles my mind that nintendo kind of gets away with this they're not getting a lot of flak for continually doing this and i know you know they don't always lock major content behind amiibo but they've done it enough times now uh where they have locked you know entire game modes behind amiibo that it it's something that we need to start uh calling nintendo out for i'll give you an example in breath of the wild which i absolutely love breath of the wild but there's one thing in breath in breath of the wild with the amiibo i i don't like i don't mind all the random drops these are all things you can get in the game right besides the individual costumes which i think are cool and just a neat little little hey you own that amiibo cool here's a throwback costume ipona ipona is the only horse in the game that starts out with a max bond okay so well this isn't a competitive multiplayer game if you own that link smash amiibo which by the getting your hands on the link smash amiibo is easy to do today it's not hard to do uh if you own that amiibo you get ipona for the first time that you tap it and ipona is a piece of content this isn't a costume this is something in the game that gives you an advantage over other players and i know it's not it's a single player game so who cares if someone has an advantage that other people don't but some people will care that you have to work really really hard to try to build up a max bond with a horse when other people can just tap an amiibo and you instantly have a max bond horse in addition it's not just any horse we're talking about ipona an iconic horse in the zelda series it's not attainable in the game there's there's not a side quest to get ipona ipona is not available out in the wild or locked in a dungeon in hyrule castle there is no ipona in the game unless you have the amiibo and it's not even ipona is technically not even the quote-unquote best horse in the game uh there are horses that can take more damage or horses that deal more damage or horses that are faster and you can max bond all horses but to have that kind of a horse instantly in the game the moment you're able to use amiibo is an advantage for a lot of players in fact it might cause players to not even go hunting for horses because hey i have a max bond ipona horse that probably isn't going to be killed unless i'm really stupid so it's one of those situations where i feel like that's really stupid content to lock behind an amiibo that should just you can have that as an easy way to get ipona but ipona should be in the game and this is where i always had these issues with amiibo because nintendo is trying to create this value proposition you're not just getting a collectible figure you're also getting in-game content that you can't get anywhere else but if you can't get a hold of the amiibo then you literally just can't get that content at all and even if you could get a hold of the amiibo you're saying yeah some people might just want that content in the game and not pay extra for it or some people might want that content in the game and be willing to pay extra for it but they don't want the amiibo figure or they can't get a hold of the amiibo figure so they just like another way to purchase that content i would love to have fusion mode available for metroid samus returns day one without the amiibo not just included in the game i would pay five dollars to have that mode but that's not an option and nintendo keeps doing this with amiibo and if anything i know there's not a huge backlash i'm one of the few people out there you know giving this heavy criticism over nintendo locking content behind amiibo but it really bothers me that we aren't making a bigger deal about this uh and maybe this is much to do about nothing maybe you don't care maybe you're totally fine with nintendo doing this you feel like it increases the value of your product and if everybody can't have it oh well it's like a collector's version yeah not everyone can have all the cool collector's goodies but uh i have i have major issues with how nintendo is starting to handle their amiibo and locking content behind them and starting to handle dlc in general charging for a difficulty mode and zelda that should really just be there at launch i don't think people are calling out nintendo enough for these practices so they're starting to think that these practices are okay and they can make them normal and i feel like we need to uh let nintendo know that we don't like this stuff so they stop doing it so we can kind of hide the storm before it gets worse because this locking the difficulty mode behind an amiibo for metroid samus returns uh could set a precedent for future games even on nintendo switch and i don't think any of us want to find out things like in the future salomon road you know salomon mode in platoon 2 is really really fun and also people don't like this locked behind a time thing but at least it's included with your game now imagine you would have to buy a specific amiibo to unlock salomon mode that that's crazy but that's the road nintendo is kind of tempting fate with here uh when it comes to this particular amiibo for metroid samus returns anyways let me know what you guys think down in the comments below as always i am nathanian ruffle jance from nintendo prime if you like this video you know what to do if you dislike the video hit that dislike button subscribe for more and if you already subscribed thank you so much i can't tell you how much i appreciate it and love seeing those sub numbers go up every single day because it lets me know i am doing something that you guys are getting some form of entertainment out of uh even if some of that entertainment that at least seems to be people just wanting to yell at me and tell me to quit youtube because i don't know i guess they can't just watch a different youtuber beats me anyways i will catch you guys in the next one

We got some fire questions like we always do Let's jump right into it first question came from my guy Clarence and he said coaching like fired coaches I figured Lamar was gone for the remainder of the season also believe all the players are protesting injuries at the coaching staff The coaching staff is coaching like fired coaches Eric might be on the hot seat because he did not get the O-line right with the draft it's Eric ain't on a hot seat Eric the cost is not on nobody's hot seat at all. There's there's no way but anyway He said I think Lamar won MVP with Ozzie's offensive line picks Lamar is Ozzie's pick Sorry for the long message, but it needs saying the Ravens never will fire coaches during the season Once the entire coaching staff is fired all the injured players will be healed. What do you think mr? Answer guy tell card in the dog who thinks they a little I said hi. Hello. We'll appreciate it So you're saying that you think players are Protesting injuries so they're acting like the injuries. I mean they acting like they're injured in order to Protest the coaching staff so they don't got to play for them I Would hope not because that could end up hurting the player Not necessarily more than anything, but they could end up hurting the player just as much as it hurts the coach Because especially depending on your contract situation or what not depending on your status like if you are willing to give up an opportunity Just because you don't want to play for that coach That that's that's very gutsy of you But at the same time you could be messing yourself up for the future and these coaches around the league They are tight. They talk a lot of times. It's a lot of coaches that just get recycled in and out so they are very familiar with each other and If you and if they know like oh he ain't really injured He just don't want to play for me. They'll go tell the next coach that coach to the next coach that and that won't necessarily Stop you from every opportunity, but it could hinder some for sure next question came from Sabri Say what's good ain't Raven hope you and your family healthy and blessed I don't know if it's just me But why did the Raven simplify the playbook for both Huntley and Johnson or Lamar? He has all these long developing routes and complex routes that aren't working I know Lamar needs to get the ball out of his hands more quick, but It doesn't help when you don't help Lamar and simplify the game plan also all of a sudden I see the up-tempo offenses used more early with Huntley and Josh, but not Lamar like I honestly don't get why Lamar We wait to the last second to run up tempo, but with our backups We help them out and use it right out the gate I might sound crazy, but I truly believe the Ravens are purposely not helping Lamar Just so they can lower his price value when they pay him just think about it I rarely do you even see a deep shot attempt at a routes being ran by the receivers when Huntley and Josh are in there But with Lamar you have all these complex routes in the simplified game plan Which makes the other quarterbacks look better All I want to know is why do you think Jiro and the staff don't look to have the short stuff in up-tempo offense with Lamar And do you think they are purposely not helping him? Hope you have a great one and stay blessed now for the part about them purposely like sabotaging him and whatnot I would hope that that's not true And that could if that was the case that could absolutely backfire big time against the Ravens Lamar he He's not the type to do it But he has the power to where he could and it would speak volumes to the league if he was to let something like that be known And if he really didn't want to re-sign with the Ravens if they try to get him for cheap and be like Oh, look at this. Look at that. Look at that. Look what you did in 2021 Then he could make that backfire Okay, no, it stands when they try to off if they try to offer him some low Try to save some of that cash then he could be like, no, I don't I don't want to play anymore I don't want to be here anymore. I want to be traded. Oh boy Matt.  Oh boy So they if if that was the case of what if they were doing that It would it would backfire in a huge way in a huge way And it would just make the not only the culture staff look bad, but the Ravens organization It would make them look bad Because it just wouldn't be smart for them to do that This is one of the reasons why people get so frustrated with Greg Roman because they see like man We are capable of moving the ball with our receivers with our tight ends We we are capable of calling some good plays some good games scoring points. We are more than capable of that So what haven't we been doing it consistently next question came from rich boy James He said do you think the 14 and 2 season was our best chance to take it all the way? Or do you think it was our last chance to ever come close to how great that team was? Best chance I would say yes, but not only chance not only chance best chance though. Yes, um, but Every year you got a shot and the way that they built this roster this year was an amazing roster But we all know what happened. I said, do you think it was our last chance to ever come close to how great that team was? No, not our last chance. No Crazy season man easy to get caught up with thinking the window was closing Just feels like we gave the season away with those two point conversion calls Whoo, those certainly had a huge impact on this season They certainly did and y'all know how I feel about them already I do not feel like they were smart. Um, this the one that I could understand the most May not even the Steelers game At least they called a good play call for the Steelers game one But I just y'all y'all already know how I feel about that. I don't even feel like it into a man But this like you with those you had an opportunity And this not even hindsight being 2020 this young I was saying this from jump They had an opportunity they were in all of those games and you could have kicked the field goal and gave you your offense Or defense a chance to make some happen But with those two point conversions to see the they see the all or nothing It's all or nothing right then in there. You don't got no chance. No coin flip. No coin toss No, you ain't got no it's all or nothing and I Just felt like they they were hoping that it would work out. I I just I didn't see the reason In man, I just I didn't get it But then of course, there's the injuries too But again injuries like injuries are been a huge part of the season, but you those three games right there even if Even if you would have went to over he said you went to overtime with all three and You won one and lost two or you won two and lost one or you won all three You lost all three, but I just Had the situational play calling for me, man Now not even just deciding to go for two But a lot of the situational play calling has just had me scratching my head all year and It's especially late in the season. It's like you would expect at least me in my opinion I would expect as the season goes on that Cultures are getting more comfortable. They're getting more in rhythm. They're getting more in syncing. It's like I we got it. We know what to do in this situation, but it seems like it for me. It's going in reverse It's like it's going in reverse It's like what why is the situational play calling off almost getting worse? So it's just been a crazy season. It's been a lot of frustration. It's just been a lot of um Lot of everything a lot of good a lot of bad too. Um That's why that's why what they said that eight and seven right now So it's almost just as much good as bad next question came from a guy Jay Lee He says so throughout the season We've seen backup running backs go off for a hundred-yard rushing game such as Craig Reynolds Dante for me Dianish Johnson and Duke Johnson. These guys only have one to two starts this season No one besides Lamar has achieved a hundred-yard rushing game and he's done so twice I know we've been passing the ball a lot more than last season But knowing that we have G-roll at the helm and also knowing that zero of our running backs have rushed over a hundred yards in The game doesn't sit right with me My question is why do you think we haven't had a running backs of past 100 yards rushing? Could it be person personnel issue or coaching issue? The coaches choose to continue playing Freeman and Murray because their experience for watching these backups have big games Makes me wonder why we haven't had a running back with a big running game yet Offensive line That will be an issue right there The the lack of explosiveness from the running backs We do have Devonte Freeman. He's been getting more and more comfortable, but um Them doghouse and Tyson Williams He I'm sure like especially the offensive line now even though they still be rough, but He he could get one. He could get one. I Feel like it would be easier for him to get one than it would be for the other two because he got a lot more Explosiveness is knows guys Tyson could definitely get one for sure but He's in the doghouse for whatever reason and it's still very very crazy I'm not even surprised that he was still on the team. I thought at the trade their line They were gonna get rid of him by the way that they were just keeping him out But they held on to him and it's almost like a punishment man. That's what it seems like It's almost like a punishment, but I think it's also um the uh, I can't even say that like as an excuse like that How non-familiar they are with the team and the scheming all that I Just Ravens can't they haven't been running the ball very well this year and Yeah, they just they lack explosiveness. That's it the running backs lack explosiveness Even with the offensive line sometimes they'll be holes in the running backs They'll try but they just can't get it sometimes they bounce to the outside They try but it just it don't always work out so well, so I think it's just a mix of things But um, this is not to me. It's not necessarily a Greg Roman issue Well, sometimes if he if like the Vante Freeman is hot gonna go to the Tavius Murray and it like flip-flop But um, they just I think it's that the running back by committee too But at the same time you only got two running backs You only got two because you don't use Tyson and then you had Lamar running you had Tyler Huntley running You'd rather have Josh Johnson. There was a big no-no, but they just I don't know they they they gotta be yeah This year as far as the running game, I feel like it's just a wash next question came from my guy Everett He said sending this with five minutes left in the bingles game. Well, we found our third QB though We lost I feel offensively This was a moral victory for the offense and not including G roll L a well can't take no moral victories They look they ain't gonna get you to the playoffs But anyway, he said I saw playing time from some big dogs today Andrews a for 125 in the touchdown Bateman for for 26 Thought he would get more had a great first drive and the bully approach they were seven for 76 Brown five for a petty 44 didn't hold much weight and wireless one for 18 I've seen all I need to see setting up for next year as far as wide outs They are guys Watkins gone and boy can probably go on But the way approach they play made me feel like he was a number two wide But Brown being a slot and Bateman being the number one. We need to run less RPO and more fast-paced defense plays Oh And more fast-paced defense plays us different in our quarterbacks or more accurate and quicker decision-making, right, right? Great job to burrows stressing the Netflix secondary because they was just watching and chilling I don't know how practice goes but Lamarney used to practice with Bateman and wireless and pro shape Because they played angry and I honestly feel like one is coming for Hollywood spot I Don't see that happening it'd be nice to get all of them involved more though But I don't see them like taking Hollywood spot They I mean they do enough little rotating anyway to where they'll take Hollywood off a little bit They'll take Bateman off for forever They'll take Pro Shae off for a while they take Duvenay off a little bit But they do a lot of rotating already So they will be able to get some time now on defense 80% won't be back So no need to worry. Well, I do see a Jefferson contract for two years But Campbell and Houston gone in retirement. Well Campbell, I think he could on Justin Houston. Maybe we'll see I don't know. Anyway, he said but as a regular fan. I know this is the most painful season to watch But we did great this year for real. This is what being from Baltimore is all about What are you gonna do when the odds are stacked against you and you got to figure it out? A lot of positive to take away from the season a lot of negative, too It's all right fly we got hard and it was next man up to everybody that played a snap We thank you, but next year the goon squad will be back in full effect with a chip. We got Rob this year It's okay flocking up. We gonna see We gonna see It was this there was a lot of positive to take away from this season. It's not over yet A lot of positives a lot of stuff that could be improved on a lot of negatives a lot of just everything This has been a just varied of a different season like this has been being crazy because Going into the season expectation was so high At the season continued the expectations they remained high But they kept getting lower and lower and lower with every single injury that the Ravens just kept getting Sorry camera die, but the fact that the Ravens are in the position that they're in right now It speaks volumes, but the fact that they're in the position right now It also speaks volumes and that can be taken in both a great and a terrible way The last question came from Jamie B. Say here. Hope you and the family are doing well I got two questions. How much does it take to get your game rescheduled like other teams dealing with COVID? I don't know. You got to know somebody that knows somebody. Um, the Browns starting center He is the president of NFL PA. So he probably put in a little word And they said and how many guys practice squad and late sign-ups Do you think made a winning audition for next year's Ravens squad PS? I still believe in this team making a playoff. Hey, I hope it happens, but we'll see um How many guys made a case for making it next year? Oh, I think Devontae Freeman. I think he would be one Josh Johnson for the like for training camp and stuff now they wouldn't keep him on active roster because He'll they will have Lamar and possibly Tyler Huntley if depending on what they do with him and Josh Johnson He could retire to we'll see Kenji Baha, he deserves it. He's like he deserves it Because they back and forth back and forth back and forth. Um, who else all the wide receivers. They already on the team All the tight ends well Actually, all the tight ends might not be here Mark Andrews, obviously, but we'll see about the other ones Nick Boyle he probably be here. Hopefully it'll be healthy then Mmm. Oh, they've been sharp. They've been sharp, right tackle. I know it's only one game, but they've been sharp And Gino stone maybe for depth For us cornerbacks. No, they they definitely move it in a way different direction with everybody Yeah You


What's good Josh for Ross back again with another video.  We got to talk about what's been going on in the wrestling world, especially in WWE right now. They have Pretty much shook some things up. So the first thing we're gonna talk about today is the Netflix to stream WWE Raw and a five billion dollar deal That is insanity Seems like Monday night Raw will be moving to Netflix next year. We got to see what's going on with that, man I definitely wanted to get this New stories out to you today. You guys been hitting me up on Twitter. So we're gonna talk about that first The weekly wrestling program will move to Netflix in 2025 as a part of a 10-year agreement That represents a big leap into live Events for the streaming platform a 10-year agreement and starting next year. That's wild just in itself. That's wild Netflix reached a multi-billion dollar 10-year deal for the exclusive rights for WWE's flagship weekly wrestling show raw as the streaming giant Broadens its offerings with more live content. The deal will bring raw to Netflix starting in January 2025 Netflix in the TKO group WWE's parent company said in a statement Netflix will also own the rights to stream WWE's other shows and specials outside of the United States The agreement will cost Netflix more than five billion dollars and will last for ten years with an option to extend an additional ten years or to opt out after five TKO group said in a regular regulatory filing by combining our reach recommendations and fandom with WWE will be able to deliver more joy and value for their audience and our members Netflix chief content officer Bella Baja Bajari Bajaria I Pretty sure I butchered that said in the statement raw will Raw which stated Started the careers of like Stone Cold Steve Austin Johnson and Dwayne the Rock Johnson We got to talk about him later on has appeared on On linear television since his debut in 1993 it now airs on the USA Network where he draws 17.5 million unique viewers A year according to WWE TKO Which is controlled by the Hollywood Power of Broker aria manual Endeavor was created by the merger of WWE and ultimate fighting championship last year said in a separate statement that mr Johnson would join its board TKO shares Jumped about 17% on Tuesday Netflix shares were up slightly with the WWE deal Netflix which has 247 million subscribers greatly expands its stable of live programming Which also includes the reality show love is blind the company has recently? I don't know if y'all heard that thunder it's it's raining bad out here in Houston The company has recently focused on sports documentaries over live sports But adding raw to its lineup brings it it brings it in closer competition with rivals like peacock Which has made its live sporting events a backbone of its service and recently streamed a national football League playoff game the announcement came a day after Netflix and Scott Stuber the company's film Chairman who lured film filmmakers like Ryan Johnson, Zack Snyder and credit girl wig to streaming service with Depart in March Netflix will report its quarterly earnings on Tuesday afternoon. This is crazy So Monday night raw the show that's been on standard television For the longest time is moving to Netflix exclusively That's major in a five billion dollar deal for ten years and they can opt out at five That's insanity. That's gonna be crazy already have Netflix I've had Netflix for a long time For those who there's a lot that probably don't know back when I was a kid when Netflix first started my mom Stopped going to blockbuster and started doing Netflix and for those who don't know, you know kids out there Netflix was just you could rent DVDs they will mail you like three DVDs at a time and You can keep those DVDs as long as you want as long as you was paying the monthly payments And then you can return them back whenever you were done Which kind of kill blockbuster at the time because you don't have to worry about late fees You can just keep them as long as you want just keep paying the monthly payments Then they turned into what it is now and the fact that now Netflix is gonna be hosting Monday Night Raw Exclusively this is gonna be very interesting tuning in to Netflix to watch Monday Night Raw I mean it puts a little bit more emphasis on me using Netflix more So that's a cool thing the question is how stable is gonna be because if it's this is Exclusively streaming so how stable is Monday Night Raw gonna be since they're gonna be doing a live platform situation now like peacock and I think they're gonna start trying to get into them deals like Amazon Prime They have the exclusive deals to be to show Thursday night football I think they're gonna try to get into that bag of streaming live events And I think they wanted to start with WWE And if that is the case because I do think peacock is still gonna be streaming the PLEs But if that is the case we never know maybe there's a situation at some point Maybe they start streaming PLEs on Netflix if they feel like things are going great and Netflix start trying to get other Live sporting events on there on their platform Exclusively so people can go there. That's really what it is It's a big game in these these companies on trying to get these exclusive rights to stream certain stuff So people will be forced to watch if they want to watch this they got to go here They got to pay to go here. So gonna be very interested to see how this plays out But Monday Night Raw is moving to Netflix next year at the beginning of 2025 Crazy times we live in but comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys agree with this move? Do you guys disagree with this move? Let me know how you guys feel about Monday Night Raw moving to Netflix next year, but I appreciate all of us boy guys shown on channel wrote on 50k And I'm singing speedy you to wrestling champion world. Appreciate you're kicking to me. See you next week. Peace


Hello, welcome to another episode of the Art Practical Workshop series. My name is Nico Tripsovich. In this episode, we're going to georeference a CM-born historical fire insurance map and then connect it to census data in the recently released 1950 census. So let's go ahead and get started. So I have done a project here in QGIS where I'm going to georeference these sandborn maps and I started to create a geo package polygon layer here and I'm going to leave it in the EPSG 4326 Actually, let's use pseudomercator 3857, which is the reference system of these web-based satellite imagery services and I created a series of fields here as you can see street name, street address, house ID, which is going to be a combination of street name and street address, a unique ID for the house and first name, last name, gender, race, occupation, born. So these are basically mirroring the fields that are found in the 1950 census. I'm just reproducing these and typing in here Simply add them like that and get another field. So I've created these fields and let's go ahead and create that and now we have this polygon layer and I'm going to show you how I do reference these from sandborn. So now the sandborn maps prior to 19 25 or so are available on the Library of Congress in full color. These are fire insurance maps So the best way to find your study area is to use this index map which occurs at the beginning of each group at the Library of Congress and you find each block has a number and then there's a track or region that has a bolder number. So I would first find your I believe this is the map sheet, the page number in the map sheet and then in bold there and then you would find the actual block, city block in smaller number and I've gone ahead and found it already to save time. Here we are and this is the Peralta Acienda area, Peralta Creek and these these houses have been removed to create a park but they still exist here on the sandborn maps from 1928 so I'll go ahead and digitize the footprints off of these and then we can connect them to the census data from that area. These houses were removed in the 1980s. So the first thing I'll do is clip out the this segment of houses. One thing I would note is that you can see a curve here in the line. So there's some distortion introduced by the scanning process. These parcel lines are sometimes available from the county and one could georeference to the county parcel lines. However, sandborn, well first of all you may have error in the parcel lines in the projection as compared with the satellite imagery that's very high resolution and I've noticed that here in Alameda County and also when you're using a historical map source like this, consider the intent or the focus of the map maker and in this case it's the homes. So the parcel lines are somewhat secondary. I would be cautious about using the parcel lines as referencing layer. Finally, it's recommended that you not include non-priority data in your referencing. So for example, I wouldn't georeference this entire area in one go. I would reference this area like the city blocks. If we were focused on here, I would reference this area as a single unit and this area as a separate unit because sometimes how streets are compressed in order to squeeze blocks onto a single map sheet in sandborn. So the street may not be faithfully represented in terms of its width. So if you include the street in your referencing, you may introduce error. So here we have this area that we're interested in. We could be zoomed quite far out and again, I'm going to skip this street, right? I'm going to reference these houses in one go using the clip tool and we can clip it. I would include the street names, this sort of ancillary stuff and maybe the opposite corner but it's okay to include this extra information on the edges. Just don't use it to reference. So then I'm going to click the clip image. There it is and look, I can actually see how it's barely legible. If I increase the image size, it actually goes to the original and now we have a really high-res image and I can download this image. I click that and I'm going to right click on Windows here and save it. I'll just call it sandborn. I would name it more specifically for my project. I might call it the street name and range of addresses shown. So the next step is to georeference the sandborn maps using either the county parcel boundary map or the imagery services such as here I've got quick map services loaded with high-resolution imagery. As I mentioned, the parcel maps are a possibility because they appear on sandborns. However, sometimes the parcels are not accurately shown on the sandborns and the parcels from the county may not georeference either. So for example, here I've added the Alameda County parcel layer. I can show you how that was added using this ArcGIS REST server layer. And if we look here, it's Alameda County parcels. Here's the address and please note I clicked this when I created that layer, only request overlapping features overlapping the current view extents. So I zoomed back and I had that box checked and the result is this orange layer and notice how it ends here because it I wasn't zoomed out that far. And if you don't check that box, it can take a long time to look because it's the entire county. The other issue is look how it doesn't line up very well with the imagery behind. Based on some testing, I've determined the imagery is much closer than the county parcel boundaries. So I won't be using that, but I wanted to show you that that is a possible option since they do appear on sandborn and it would be really nice to just click on these with the snapping turned on. You can conceivably just click right on those corners. So we will be using this imagery and we'll be georeferencing using the georeference for tool that this is a QGIS version 3.26 and it is moved now to the layer menu from the raster menu. And I downloaded a sandborn, the one slightly west of what I was showing you earlier, I think we'll make a better candidate for this example and bringing it in that block here is this block in south. We'll be bringing that in using this imagery. And so one question is which of these houses are still there? For example, this area has been these buildings were removed in the expansion of the park and these buildings look much bigger than the houses shown on the sandborn. However, these little four houses do appear. Another trick is to go to Google street maps and here we are in the park and we can just kind of look around and look at the structures. And you can see here are those four houses and they have the appearance of houses built in 1920s as does this one. But these look newer. So these are those large houses we can see in the imagery that are probably built in the 50s or 60s. I also quickly showed you this tab. This is where I got the services layer that I showed you for parcel boundaries. So let's use the services layer shown. That's not using services layer. Let's use the imagery layer that I showed you. And I checked street view and I determined that those little four houses are in fact the same houses. So we'll go ahead and start to your referencing. I'm just going to do a quick job here so that there isn't too much time spent on this. The basic idea is that we are going to put some points around the map that correspond and keep in mind these houses have eaves generally. So I would move in a little ways from the very corner. We're assuming that the sandborn doesn't include the eaves. So let's just come in a little bit from the edge there. Sometimes you can find roof examples that don't have the eaves that have smaller eaves. Scroll here. So I'm going to put two points up there. Perhaps a point in the middle. Let's see. This house looks like it was here. Let's count houses. One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six. That's this house. This is this last house here. And then everything south of that was replaced. There have been some changes in the designs. You can see many of these houses were expanded. So it's probably best to find a house that looks like it hasn't been expanded and find the original corner. Let's go ahead and maybe drop a point. That was the wrong spot. I'll demonstrate how to move point. You just use this structure here. You can adjust your placement with that tool. Continuing, these were removed here. But this house, from personal experience, is one of the older houses in the area. So I'm going to use that one as a georeferencing point.  But this corner is pretty visible. There's the deck. I have a large eave, as I recall. You can check street view if you need to. This one, I'll just go ahead and move this. There's a new point here. And then a point here, tracking the eave. All right. And then this structure is the original Peralta Hacienda. I know that that's original. Now, this Paxton Street was closed when they created the park. There it is. Also, yeah. So here's the Peralta House. It's a very large eave. This deck is a good candidate. The corner looks a little different and tricky. So I'm going to move this southern end here. So you can see it pretty well. But there seems to be a little offset there. So maybe I'll use the northern one because there's a glitch in the sandborne there. I'll use this corner. Okay. So I've got four, five points here. Now, that's probably enough. Note that this sandborne goes further south. But our focus is on this area. So you should concentrate your ground control points in the area distributed around the area of interest and not try to do the entire original map. In fact, it probably would have been better to clip the, when I was downloading this, it probably would have been better to clip it here and not attempt to download all of it because it implies that this is all georeference. And while it'll probably be reasonably well-referenced, focus is in this area. So let's go ahead and check the parameters. We're going to do a polynomial one. We're going into the Web Mercator coordinate reference system. I'm going to shorten those. We don't want too long final names. And let's just check what it's been saved. Go into the field school folder. And uncheck these. If you have a black collar around your original, a good idea to use zero for transparency to remove that collar. Although you can do it at a later step as well. I always save the ground control points. It saves them out into a little text file. And you can, they travel with the tip that you're saving out. And you can load them and make adjustments like I did earlier here. If you find that some of your residuals aren't very good. Before clicking the start georeferencing, I'm going to sort by the residuals column and look for the biggest error. Let's see which one that is the number three. So one thing you can do is sort of iterative process. We can select it, find it. It's going to be number three would be this one. You can turn it on and off. Oh, it's this one. And you can adjust it. If you think it could do a better job, you might consider sorting by residual and actually right click and removing or adjusting with this tool, this tool, the worst residual. So like you can uncheck it and see how it quickly adjusts formula. It comes up with the correction georeferencing solution without using that 19 number three. So it's a compromise between all the enabled ground control points. All right, let's just go ahead and use this one. There it is. Now we did get the black collar because I didn't specify. We can change it and add the georeferencing and rerun it. I'll have to remove it here. It doesn't have a conflict overriding. There you can see by checking that box, we no longer have that black collar. So that's a good idea. The trade off is you look at all the black pixels. For example, here are now transparent. So it's really a trade off. You get this sort of funny shimmery look on the black pixels when you make them transparent. All right. So this step is now complete. You can go ahead and georeference. I'm just going to do one house in this case. You can see that this one 2511 is now this park. Let's go ahead and georeference it. Maybe I'll change the appearance. Well, first I'm going to call it something different. I'll just go ahead and start georeferencing. You decide how much detail put in here. Georeferencing. Now you can see all those fields from the census that I created earlier are now visible. We know the street is 34th in the fourth app and the street address is 2511. There's a garage as well, which may be very interesting for archaeologists where the outbuildings are. Sometimes the privies are visible in these maps. All right. So let's go ahead and save those edits and turn off sandborn. We have that structure. Now you can see today it's a park and this is sort of a pavilion space associated with the park. Now continuing with the census here. The 1950 census was recently released because it has been 72 years and they are available open access here at thearchives.gov. One issue with using these is that you need to know the, it's a big help to know the enumeration district of the census that you're working in. Another option for many people have access to the university libraries to Ancestry Library and the Ancestry Library, one of the biggest advantages I found to these is that they do have this explore maps tool. So you click that and it will take you to, they've actually digitized and georeferenced the original enumeration district map. You can see an orange back there. And if you, so you can basically do a spatial search instead of having to know numerically that this is 67-152. There's the, there's the creek. There's the current park.  It takes you to the census. And you page through here and I've already found, I paged through and I found that some pages into it. Here is 34th street, number 2511 and it's Mike Lewandowski, and Gucci, head of household, white male, 15 years old, born in Italy. And that was about his employment. Looks like he's a grocery store employee, proprietor. So I'll go ahead and type that in. It's editable. So now one thing you might consider is giving individual house IDs to the, to the structure. If you're really paying attention to your structures and different sources of data, it might make sense to come up with your own ID numbers for each of these houses that may differ from 25, from the street address like 2511 because these, like for example, this house is no longer standing. So you can have your own archaeological records. So now, right, grocery, born, so 1950, he was 50. So let's just say he was 1,900. There you go. And you want to perhaps label by his name. Or you might do, you could do a choropleth map showing other fields like occupation, race, age, and generalize about the historical character of this neighborhood. That is an example I wanted to provide, incorporating sandborne and census data into your GIS.


Hey guys, welcome back to Comic-Con. Today on the show, we're going to be taking a look at Batman Shadow, numbers one and two of six. From the incredible minds of iconic authors Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando comes the resurgence of a classic noir character. The shadow was a major influence of the Batman himself and now appears in this incredible six-issue crossover event. While investigating the murder of a Gothamite, Batman identifies his prime suspect as Lamont Cranston. But there are two problems with that one. One, Batman is not aware Lamont's alter ego is the master detective known as the Shadow. Two, and more importantly, Cranston seems to have died over half a century ago. But that's not all either. The shadow plays a series of mind games with Batman that reach all the way back to Bruce Wayne's original training to become the savior of Gotham. Was the shadow Batman's teacher all this time? Only the shadow knows. It's not that far-fetched. Since the shadow debuted in Detective Story Hour, a radio show on July 31st, 1930, and in print for the first time in The Living Shadow on April 1st, 1931, while Batman made his debut appearance in Detective Comics number 27 in March of 1939, the rights to the shadow are currently licensed by Dynamite Entertainment and has been since August 2011. I have to say so far all the shadow stories I've read from Dynamite have been great. If you want to learn more about the mysterious vigilante detective known as the shadow, keep an eye out for our episode on the shadow and our review of The Shadow Now, coming soon to Comic NTV, where all geek culture collides. Issues one and two are currently in comic book shops as well as on Comixology, but if you want to wait for the trade paper back or hardcover, it'll be in stores November 28th 2017 and we'll collect Batman the Shadow numbers one through six and stories from Batman annual number one and Detective Comics number 253 and 259. With that being said, let's get into the review on issues one and two. Issue number one opens with Bruce Wayne at the top of the French Alps to seek help from his former teacher Henry Ducard, the world's greatest manhunter. Bruce admits that Ducard's teachings have helped him for years in solving mysteries, but that he's finally uncovered a case even he, the world's greatest detective, cannot solve. The violent murder of a man well loved in Gotham, a man who traded the inmates of Arkham with respect and earned their respect in return. A man who's been honored by the city of Gotham for his service. A man who's not wealthy by any means, 33 years old, type O negative blood, food service employee at Arkham Asylum, foster parent, to rescue dogs. Name? Lamont Cranston. Out of nowhere as Batman investigates the murder scene, laughter pierces his solitude from out of the shadows. But how? Batman cased the scene himself. The only ones there were the police. After a fairly quick battle on the rooftop, the individual involved is revealed to be none other than the shadow. Through Batman's research and investigation, he discovers the identity of the shadow as being that of Lamont Cranston. But how can that be? Lamont Cranston is dead. Batman saw the body himself, not that Lamont Cranston, but another Lamont Cranston. This Cranston was born in 1900 and died of cancer in 1963. Batman visits known associates of Cranston. Mr.  Clyde Burke, a reporter who knew Cranston was a shadow, but had no proof to do a story on it. The grave of Cliff Marsland, a fighter pilot in World War One, and the taxi driver for Cranston, who died the same year as Cranston. Finally, Batman visits Margo Lane. Margo reveals that Lamont Cranston wasn't the shadow's only identity, but one of many. Kent Ollard, Ying Ko, and so on. She reveals she and all the other agents of his got old, but he didn't. The shadows hate kept him young, obsessed with punishing crime. But she hadn't spoken to him since he told all of his agents to start calling him master. I'll refrain from going any further into the story, as any more will ruin the experience for you. But I will tell you, this is a story of twists and turns, mystery, and deception. It seems to take place in the main DC universe, outside of Dynamite Comics universe. I've only managed to read through the first two issues so far, as issue number three doesn't come out until June 28th. But I highly recommend the six-part storyline. Issue number three should be even more epic, as the cover has Batman and the Shadow going up against the clown prince of crime himself, the Joker. Can the Shadow protect Batman from the combined onslaught of the Joker and Stagg, as well as the mystical powers of Shambhala, find out in Batman's Shadow number three from DC Comics.
