On day 58 of this one year sponsorship, where we announce one new winner every single day on this channel. Today we're gonna talk about making an MMO. If you look behind me, that is the spec for our new MMO. It will not be like Blizzard's Titan, because it won't get cancelled. Well done, Blizzard. And we're gonna talk about the vision of freedom. What freedom will be like in a few years, so stick around on this. $100,000 sponsorship for small channels powered by freedom. Let's go. After seven years of development, Blizzard announced it's canning its new MMO, Project Titan. In case you missed that news, click here. That video will take you straight to Project Titan cancelled. Why do we feel we can succeed where Blizzard failed? Well, if you're seeing the slides behind me, this is the spec for our new MMO. But we're not gonna be building it tomorrow. We're gonna build it after we reach our vision for freedom. Which is, become the number one MCN in YouTube passing full screen. Once we achieve that goal in a one and a half years at our current growth rate, then our second goal is to go IPO. An initial public offering on the NASDAQ stock exchange. To learn about how we can do this, click here. That's the video I published a few hours ago on this channel, talking about our vision, the details, and our goals. And I'm just gonna summarize them in this video. So our third goal after going IPO is to build an MMO. We've already started building the MMO team. It's called MGM Game Studios. And we're building a game called Project Calpa. Once we go IPO, we will get an enormous, enormous, I can't even say the word, cash injection. Because when you go IPO, you raise millions of dollars from the public, tens of millions of dollars if you're successful. And that will be used to fund the project that will be our new MMO. Now, in the meantime, we're gonna build up our team, build up our expertise, launch Project Calpa, and the developers are also building Skywind. The team that's working on Project Calpa is also building Skywind, which is the Morrowind in Skyrim engine. And click here in case you missed that video, announcing the development of Skywind by members of the same team that are building Project Calpa. That is MGM Game Studios. Now, if you wanna get involved, head on over to the MGM channel and watch the videos about Project Calpa and MGM Game Studios and start contributing. It's very simple.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we will discuss the question which says that a test about general awareness was conducted on seven students of different classes and the marks scored are observed as follows. That is, this data is given to us in which the students' class is given as 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 and the corresponding marks scored are 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21 and 22. Then first part, find a line of best fit and taking that estimate the general score of a student who is of class 4. Now before starting the solution of this question, we should know some results. First is, now we know that the regression line always passes through the point x mark, y mark, that is the mean. Therefore, the regression equation of y on x is given by y minus y bar is equal to b y into x minus x bar the whole. The x mark is the mean value of x, y bar is the mean value of y and b y x is the regression coefficient of y on x. And b y x is equal to summation dx into dy over summation dx square where dx is equal to x minus x mark and dy is equal to y minus y bar. That is, dx and dy are the deviations of the variable x and y from the infinitive means of the series to determine the line of regression to determine the line. Now these results will work out as a key idea for solving out this question. And now we will start with the solution. First of all, we will draw a table for the given data. So we have drawn a table for the given data. In the first column, we have written the student's class and we are representing it by x. And in the second column, we have written the marks scored and we are representing it by y. And in the next column, we will find dx and dy. And in the next column, dx into dy and the next column, dx square and in the last column, dy square. Now by adding all the values of x, we are writing summation x is equal to, on adding all the values of y, we are getting summation y is equal to 112. Now, which is divided by x by the number of observations which are n, which is equal to, now summation x is 63. And number of observations are 1, this is equal to, that is equal to summation y by n, which is equal to, now summation y is 112. dx is equal to x minus x bar, which will be x minus 9 and dy will be equal to y minus y bar and y bar is, and dx will be x minus minus minus 2. Now h minus 9 is minus 1, 9 minus 9 is 0, 10 minus 9 is 1, 11 minus 9 is 2 minus 9 is different values of y. So, what we will give, minus 2 will give 0 and 22 minus 16 is dx into dy. So, of dx and dy, x will be, h2 will be, to have 0 into 0 is 0, 1 into 1 is 1, in this column. So, where dx is minus 3, so its square will be, where it is minus 2, i is 1, then 0, then 1, then 2 square is 4 and 3 square is 9. And now i am going to have a different values of dy, then minus 6 square is 36, minus 4 is then 0, then 25 and then 36. For values of dx into dy, we have summation dx into dy is equal to 57, summation dx square is equal to 28 and summation dy square is equal to 118. Now in the first part we have to find a line of best fit. Now to determine the line of regulation, we have to determine the line of best fit. By using this result, we should have y on x, y on x is given by minus y bar is equal to dy, which implies y minus y bar is equal to summation dx into dy, we have summation dx x bar the whole. Now x bar is 9, which is 57, 28. So, we can have y bar 28 into x minus 9 the whole. So, in first multiplying this implies 28 y minus 448 is equal to which is, it is given that in the probable score, that means we have to determine the value of y. That is this line, this equation, let it be equation 8, we will put x is equal to 4 into y minus 65 is equal to 0, is equal to 28 y, it is further this, 163 is equal to 28 y and this implies y is therefore y is just an integer, we have the given question and that is all for this session. Hope you all have enjoyed this session.


Drunk driving crash damages starts fire at Watson's vending, babysitter facing homicide charge and infant death. Community comes together to search for missing teen. These stories and more coming up on Community News Review. This is Community News Review. Service WSES-TV News Contact divided by WHBL. Hello, I'm Maddie Fister and this is Community News Review for Monday, October 22, 2018. A 27-year-old man was arrested after his car slammed into Watson's vending on Union Avenue early Sunday morning. Shraban police say it happened around 2.30 when the car was self-bound on South 24th Street and failed to stop for the stop sign on Union and crashed into the offices at Watson starting a fire. The driver got out of the car unharmed and firefighters arrived on the scene to put out the blaze. Union Avenue was closed for several hours as firefighters put out the fire. The driver was arrested for his second OWI and reckless and inattentive driving. Two people were airlifted from the scene of a rollover crash on Highway 23 near Sheboygan Falls Friday night. The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department says they got a 911 call about the crash around 6.15. The caller reporting the vehicle had been westbound and swore of before going into the ditch. The call rolled several times and hit a deer fence. A 24-year-old male passenger from a Dell area was ejected and a 23-year-old female from Q Wascom was trapped. They were both flooded to Freydert Hospital in Milwaukee and the crash remains under investigation. A man has died following a boating accident in the town of Marquette. According to the Green Lake County Sheriff's Office Facebook page, on Saturday afternoon the Green Lake County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call concerning a missing duck hunter on the Fox River. The Deputy Sheriff Princeton Water Rescue DNR Warden and emergency services responded to the scene and searched for the man near the incident. The location of the accident was at the mouth of Lake Puckaway. Princeton Fire and Water Rescue located the man in the water around 230 where he was brought to shore and determined to be deceased. An investigation has revealed that two duck hunters and a dog capsized. Both men and the dog remained in the water and became separated. Eventually one adult male and the dog made it back to shore and called 911. The deceased is a 52-year-old Princeton man whose name has not yet been released and the surviving male 47 years old from Berlin did not require any medical attention. A two-month-old baby is dead and the child's baby sitter is facing homicide charges in the case. Last night PD were called to North Thirds Avenue Thursday evening on reports of an unresponsive baby boy. The baby's mother had just picked up the child from the babysitter's home on North 6th Street and was stopping at a laundromat nearby. The child was unresponsive and it is believed he died while in the care of the babysitter. The babysitter is identified as 28-year-old Marissa Teetsort. Police say she had a warrant for a previous incident of child abuse and she will be in court on Monday to answer those charges. Police say an autopsy was performed on Friday and the infant's death is considered a homicide. The case is being referred to the district attorney's office for additional charges. The child's name has not been released. The free, the Little Free Library nonprofit is asking people to remember their founder, Todd Bull. Bull died Thursday from cancer and he was 62 years old. Bull originated the idea of the Little Free Library in 2009 with a dollhouse size case in the shape of a one-room schoolhouse made from a recycled garage. He filled it with books and set it up at the end of his driveway where he noticed it was more popular than the garage sale items that attracted people to his house. There are now more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries in located in nearly 90 countries. State school superintendent Tony Evers is facing accusations of plagiarism in recent budget requests. Republicans released records Sunday that documented three more instances in which Evers submitted budget requests with passages of text taken nearly word for word from other sources without giving proper credit. Governor Walker tweeted several times attacking Evers for the plagiarized passages and the governor says there is no way as a teacher that Evers would accept that kind of work from a student. Evers said at a campaign stop in Milwaukee yesterday that his staff had made a mistake by failing to provide the proper citations. Evers told reporters over the weekend that only parts of his budget, in doubt, are a few citations at the end of the proposal. Evers said they have talked to the people who wrote the plan and says that he wants to move on. And finally, new details are out surrounding the disappearance of 13-year-old Janie Kloss who went missing after her parents were found murdered inside their home last Monday. Officials are revealing the 911 call placed from the Kloss household the day of the murders came from the phone belonging to mom Denise Kloss. Dispatchers say they were not able to speak to anyone directly but could hear a disturbance going on in the background. After the call was disconnected, they attempted to call back several times but the call went unanswered. Deputies responded at less than four minutes after the call came in and from the door had been kicked in and both Denise and her husband James had been shot. Brownforcement did not locate a gun and could not find any people or vehicles around the home. Jamie was believed to have been in the home at the time of the murders but has since vanished and police fear she is in grave danger. And that is all we have for today. Join me again next time for another recap of our local news on Community News Review. News content for this program provided by WHBL in cooperation, WSCSTB.


That is now the current chairman of the Kenya Rugby Union, Obrol Ganga speaking to Maxwell Waseke on what he intends to do for the Kenya Rugby Union. Now joining us here in studio right now is one of the elected directors for the Kenya Rugby Union, our friend here on Touchland and usually comes to analyze some of the big news in the rugby world, that is Mali Muki Kechi Combo, who is here to talk to us about everything Kenya Rugby Union and the big question now, the election is done and the big question is, what is next for Kenya Rugby Union? Garibu Sana Mali Muki and that's where we start with you. Thank you for the election, thank you so much. The big question is, what's next for Kenya Rugby Union, considering now that the election is done, everything is done, now it's back to business and we have a mandate as a board and as everyone else at the Kenya Rugby Union, plus all the stakeholders to do something for the Kenya Rugby Fraternity, so what is next for Kenya Rugby Union? There's quite a number of things, like now the league is ongoing, they have to continue and finish the fixtures, then from there we're also having test matches coming up, Kenya, the gold cup and also we find that in the next two weeks we'll be hosting a car under 20, so the board will be setting up the teams at the Kenya Rugby Union, find they do the booking and also have the conducive environment for the tournament to kick off. You find that these are an African tournament, you find that the whole world will be focusing to see, these are the future guys will be playing for the national, these are the guys who will be putting the African rugby on the world map in future, so we'll be able to see how we'll be able to perform, shall our team also be able to do well, the guys who've grown to the development, they are being given a chance, so they'll be able to show us where we are in the African rugby at the end of the tournament. Some of the major problems, most of the current problems that the Kenya Rugby Union was going through was player welfare, from what we have had from the chairman now, Mr. Odoor Ganga, is all about getting the player welfare back on track and some of the senior players, what boycotted their training and now back into the team, what is the feeling like from some of the reliable sources at the Kenya Rugby Union? Are these players now back and are they training for more so the Asia tour, which will be going to Hong Kong and Singapore? Yeah, it's good news for the Kenya Rugby, the players are back and now they have realized now it's time to play and who will never want to play next year. We can be out for some time and you find that if Kenya gets relegated and opportunities come up next year, so it will also be blaming themselves for saying, oh I think we could have played but it's good that the management and the Kenya Rugby Union official talk to the players and they are back but they still the talk is ongoing and we are happy that they are ready in the camp. Even today in the morning they are in training and the coaches and the team managers are happy. So we focused to do well despite being in a very tough pool in Hong Kong but we hope we'll be able to do well. The first six legs have been not good but you see now it's also good to give the young players an opportunity to play and that also indicates that the Kenya Rugby we are doing the right thing because the guys who are given opportunity when the senior players are not there they are playing good rugby and so probably if we integrate now with experienced players in the remaining legs Kenya will be safe and we'll be out from relegation and I know it will be very hard for Kenya to be relegated. We've been watching the other teams like Wales, Japan playing so far but you see now we didn't have the experienced players coming up so if now they are there definitely we'll be out of relegation and that will be good for next year to maintain our status at the IRB series. Yeah actually one of the major things that came out when the senior players boycotted the training and not playing for the Kenya Rugby was that gap between the experienced players and the players who are now joining the team should be coming up. As someone now who will be one of the people making major decisions considering how development will be going on how will you be dealing with this in a sneak preview more so in development rugby so that we don't get that big gap between the experienced players and the younger players who are joining the senior team. Yeah okay yeah well I've been developing the way you've said with the comrades HG Rugby we are from under 10 under 14 under 15 that's a very vibrant project and we've seen now put the first budget that already now graduating to senior to club Kenya Cup teams. Yes. You've seen like Kevin Guambanao playing for homeboys RFC Amonua Malwa. It's a guys who've grown from HG Rugby winning East Africa and coming back on now playing for number 10 at homeboys. We also have others in Daniel Okito, half back center at Nondis Makumi now captaining the Strathamore RFC. These are guys who've come through age grade Paul Musami at Impala playing center today I've seen him being given that position. So these are players these are players who have a lot of skills in terms of playing so the best thing is we will get it's good to get players get involved in in many tournaments and also given an opportunity. For example if the car tournament is there we give we give a youthful team to go and represent the country so from there they'll be able to get that experience whenever a call up comes up that they are supposed to represent the country find that they are ready because they have already have that exposure and they'll not be having that stage fright in terms of when they are playing in big stadiums across the world. And then as we're still speaking and you heard there the German saying that right now when you're going to the corporate it's not about visibility alone it's all about giving them a chance to show them that this is what they can do and some of the companies out there are also into youth empowerment. When you look at our link between high school rugby and university and college rugby going on to the professional rugby how is that link so far? Well the the gap is not that big because there's that youth progressive but you see now that we need to have something but a smooth transition from one level to one other and like high school rugby we need to have more franchise tournament than just having schools holding to their own school team to going all the way to East Africa I think at a certain level whereby we are done with the county with the county games we give the selectors an opportunity to pick the best teams and then the best players then team up and then they go and represent that particular county at the region. I think that that one does something good like times we played Cumbra's played academy under 14 played South African team at KRU that was sometime 2014 and finally these players made at the airport and within one day they already had gelled and they were playing because of what they are used with the playing of the franchise tournaments so we are so far we select people are holding so much on their own but if we can be able to go and integrate now and bring in the issue of the franchise I think that would be something good for the Kenyan rugby. Talking about franchise rugby one of the major countries that have managed to put franchise rugby on the map as to the South Africa you see what they do with their orange what they do with their companies that they have a very serious franchise rugby down there how can we do it because here in Kenya we've got all our tournaments we've got the stand-by series the circuit that usually goes on we've got the Kenya Cup matches that are going on today I think March day 14 right now but how can we get to franchise rugby? Just simply putting up the structure then we involve the stakeholders once the stakeholders have been involved and we come up with a fixture for the franchise to be playing then we adjust the the fixture the national fixture so that at the end of the day we know now from this particular tournament we are done with this so we move on the franchise if it's given us a period of its own then it'll be able to pick up very well but so that people teams team managers can be able to prepare for that then we have select us also who will be able to bring them together I think that that that that will be workable and it'll also be on the on the on the national fixture yeah then probably the corporates also coming up I can't respond because that's the biggest problem once we don't have the sponsor for that then now it comes something difficult to work on corporates for them they are there just showing them that how good are you and how can we help you out it's usually a matter of what can you give me and what can I give you back and Kenya rugby you know has been getting a fair share of their corporate but at the moment usually stuff but you've got some of the best corporate like the circuit corporate is doing very well yeah and Kenya Kapuna you've got a tv sponsor yeah sure and rugby is being visible in the country but now let's talk about high school rugby because that's your expertise that's your area of expertise what is your secret also with your high school yeah I find it you just have a program and once you have a workable program for the players definitely be able to pick up and being working with a boarding school it's far much better than working with a day school where sometimes players go home they find some problems on the way probably miss school so we find that if a player doesn't be in school you find you can't be able to carry out your training properly but the best thing is for you to have a training program with your players you find that you give them the training schedule and they be there on time this probably a day for just conditioning the day for ball work there's a program a day for attack for defense working on the kicks and all that so that each player can be which player knows which area is working on and improving and you keep on observing them so that that's what has been so long as you tell them and give them a program you will never succeed but once you don't have a good program for for the team then they won't be able to do well so I've succeeded going all the way to win East Africa with Mohori Mishiri that's a non-school not playing rugby but you find that they are playing rugby well yeah sure call for it for nationals in Mombasa and they'll be playing from 7th to 14th in Mombasa and probably we hope they'll do well and again qualify for East Africa in Mwanda in August that's a big one for you but there was some major development from the Kenya secondary schools that came around here where they were they were cutting off the the numbers of the players that were going to play I think in the under 15 they were getting now players to I think 17 20 20 23 and also in the 7th they were cutting you to 11 instead of 15 how is that one going to affect you guys when you are preparing for all this tournament that you are going for well it will be able to affect and this the problem is that probably the people who are making the decision they are not well versed with the game itself because what does the world rugby rule say about the the players they have done the experience from year to one year to another and come up to say that the number of players for 15 hours are supposed to be 23 but you see now they're talking of course the emerging of the games these are different games and they are denying opportunity for players to play and they're putting into putting the same tournament at the same time initially it was okay 15 was first time second time or seven but see now the matches the game is seven and 15th play go currently so you find that one week a tournament is played then the whole year there's no there's no rugby in high school that's something very bad whereby they could have just talked with the experts and then go down be told about the world rugby rule what does rugby world the world rugby rule say about the seven the sevens format here supposed to be 12 of players but see now like now they have added one non-traveling player to assist because they know they might yeah anything can happen the magnitude of the game is changing and it's more scientific and they need a number of players World Cup you see the teams will travel over 30 players traveling for World Cup in Japan coming up in this year so they they they they they they they it's not informed it's going to affect the game and I find that this one's going so going to create fatigue to some of the players 11 players so for example if you get two players get injured they're out of the tournament or three so you have eight players and you're playing sevens so what happens now what happens if probably the first players who got into injured they are the the forward players front row and local subs they are who carry the front because they are more prone to injuries so that may definitely that team will be out of competition if you have the three forward players go to injured so that's where the problem is and it's not good for the game and it's something now the rugby union as a rugby union we are now supposed to take the audience of the ministry of education we talk to him then we explain to him about the changes not good for for the sport so that we go back they give them the three number of players to travel to the tournament and also seven be given the 12 players to travel yeah that will be a major conversation for another day because now we are talking about the curriculum you're also talking about academics and how to fuse these things together and make them work we've got big tournaments coming we've got test matches the gold cup is also underway and we have the car under 24 hour team yeah in all this tournament how do you see the progress of kenya rugby union right now because now we'll be put up with main tournaments and we are supposed to perform yeah and our players ready more so the young players because now they have been put into the major experience they think the series circuit is the best experience you can be thrown into as a player yeah I think when you look at the the progress of the kenyan rugby it's beyond the rise when you look at the 15th team he called for him for the first time in history that was a very big achievement initially we had never done that and finally this time round the kenyan team will manage to do that so during the test match I see them doing well because having gained that experience playing against Germany playing against Canada and Hong Kong you find they have gained a lot of experience and it's so if that continues and we have good training program for the national team we'll be able to overrun the other teams this time around the under 20 team reach the finals of last year the car so probably now they are hitting to win the to win the trophy and more so they have a lot of support here at home also the test matches coming up I hope kenyan will be able to do well depending with the teams they'll be able to invite and that one will also make us to improve on the ranking of the 25 across the world we had come to 22 and I know if the year goes well probably with the chairman coming in the guy who is marching from yeah we can make it top 20 and then we'll be able to get grand from the war rugby as we finish our next tour will be the Asian tour will be playing Hong Kong and then Singapore our senior players are back they are training hard and they have to face with the young players what are our chances are we going back to our usual position the top 10 yeah probably Hong Kong might be a bit difficult because of that particular group but with good training the coaches have known the players are gelling up probably we'll be able to learn from that particular mistake that will be gravely in Hong Kong but in Singapore that's our hunting ground we won in 2017 the players might want to bring the glory back so I see Singapore will do well and we'll be able to probably we'll be definitely we'll be among the top 10 in Singapore well San Moalimu for coming here on the touch right now it is a very big weekend for Moalimu here plus the board they are going to come up and do something for kenyan rugby because this is their time and we hope them and we wish them success as they are going as we told you it is going to be a big night here in Nairobi it's Nairobi fight night and Fatuma Zareka will be flying the kenyan flag when we come back we'll be doing a sneak preview of what will be happening tonight in boxing but before that let's listen in and watch judy wagoodi one more boxing heroes here in kenya


In relation to the issue of burqas in New South Wales, myself and other senior police have been following that issue closely in recent times and are particularly interested of course in this morning's announcement that the New South Wales Government are going to change legislation. We've had a good look at it here in Queensland and we think that there's no need to change legislation. We think that the current laws are quite adequate, that our policies are adequate and the other thing too is that here in Queensland we have not experienced any trouble or difficulty with the wearing of burqas or for that matter with our relationship with the, we have a very good relationship with the Muslim community. We're very grateful to the Muslim community to talk to the President for example of the Islamic Council of Queensland and with the Amarnes and the various mosques so we think that's very positive. What we are going to do though is follow what they do in New South Wales with great interest. We look at the legislation, we look at how that's introduced and enforced by the New South Wales Police and if we think at any time in the future there is a need to do anything here in Queensland. We just follow the normal process and that is we take the matter forward with the Police Minister and ask him to take it up with the Government. But at the moment we're quite complacent, Queensland doesn't need an immediate legislation or for that matter any new policy or operational changes in terms of the way we do business. Can you ever think of any time when you've had identification issues as a result of somebody wearing a burqa in Queensland? Not that I'm aware of, not to say that that hasn't happened but we're not aware of it at all in a game we believe. The only other thing that's probably similar is the wearing of a turban by the Sikh community in a game. We have a very good relationship with the Sikh community and that hasn't been an issue either. But I think the legislation is the covering of the face that the Sikh community only cover the head. That's right and you're quite right, there is quite a distinction but it's the only other thing that's remotely similar in terms of a cultural issue and wearing a form of headdress is the Sikh turban and the burqa worn by the Islamic and Muslim community. Commissioner, there are obviously instances where you need to be able to identify people and that may require the requesting of the removal of the burqa or anything else. You're exactly right and if a traffic officer pulls someone over and is still wearing a burqa it's quite within reason for the traffic officer to ask that person to lift the burqa so that the traffic officer could compare the person's face to the photograph if the traffic officer thought that was necessary and as I understand it so far we haven't had a problem in that space at all. Is that legislated for if they refuse? Is there an issue that if they refuse to lift the burqa? No it's not. There's nothing specific there and maybe that's what they're doing in New South Wales. I'm not sure of the detail there. We haven't found that necessary here as yet. Certainly under the current laws in terms of traffic offences a police officer can require a person to provide correctness of their identity and that usually only occurs though where they don't have their driver's license with them. And we do have other powers as well, the powers of search. So that if for example police have reasonable and genuine grounds to believe that the person won't get the firearm or they won't get the legal drugs then they're entitled to search the person concerned. They must have grounds but one of the things about our policy in that space is that we are very conscious of appropriate protocols in terms of that. So for example it's a woman that's to be searched we would want to have that done in privacy by a female police officer. So it's about respecting the cultural differences as well as those sorts of protocols? Yeah I think that's really important and I mean we pride ourselves here in Queensland I think on being a multicultural community I think we pride ourselves are very tolerant and we're very accepting and I think it's worth mentioning as well for the Muslim community and not new arrivals in Queensland. They've been here for a long time and in fact only a couple of years ago the Holland Park Moss celebrated its centenary, its hundredth year of operations. So the Muslim community a wonderful contribution and I think we've got a lot to be quietly proud about here in Queensland in terms of the way we get on with each other. Perfect, thank you. Thanks guys.


Just days before prom, high school students from Cass County watched law enforcement save their classmates in a mock car crash scenario. Students from Walker, Cass Lake Vina and the Cass Lake Area Learning Center watched first responders tend to eight student council members. Every four years the school brings together the event before prom to send a message to students about celebrating responsibly. The event included a surgery scenario where doctors tended to the teens on trauma beds and a body bag was put into the back of a hearse. I lost my two drunk driver and my message to them is I want them to come into my funeral. I don't want to go to theirs. And bottom line is we want these kids to live a great life and grow up to be elders and be great people in our community or across the state. Law enforcement officials from Pike Bay Police, Leech Lake Tribal Police, Cass County Sheriff, Cass Lake Fire, Leech Lake Ambulance and the Minnesota State Patrol as well as Indian Health Services and the Dennis Funeral Home of Walker helped with that event.

Okay, our chicken has been taken out of the broth. It's been taken off the bone. Right here it is. We are going to take the broth and boil macaroni noodles in it. I'm going to boil two cups of macaroni noodles in this broth. That should be enough. I'm going to bring this to a boil on the stove. When it starts boiling, we'll add our noodles. I'm going to use velvety cheese today because I'm tired. If you wanted to, you could make a cheese sauce out of cheddar cheese. I'm just cutting this velvety cheese up. It's eight ounces of velvety cheese in cubes while we're waiting on our water to boil. Microwave this while we're waiting on this to boil. Get our jar of pimentos. You can use a small jar. This is a large jar where I've used half of it. Canapes, open them and drain them. If you're picky about your peas, buy you some lassoor or some small peas. We're not picky about our peas. We like them. So, if they're big, it's okay with us. Look, this is ready. You're going to put two cups of macaroni noodles in here. 375. Take your cheese sauce and you're going to whisk it well. Add the chicken broth to it. A handful of this in our cheese sauce. Put these pimentos in, y'all. And juice and all because I like the flavor of them. There's plenty of cheese sauce. I'm going to add the penne. Use something else. Half of my chicken, it was a really big chicken. I said her aunt used to make this. It was Huntington chicken and she never found a recipe quite like her aunts. She wanted me to boil the chicken and use a little bit of the broth. Make a creamy cheese sauce. Add pimentos and peas and that's exactly what we've done. And I just tasted it and it's absolutely delicious. So we're going to put this in the oden and we'll cover it with a little bit of cheese and we're going to bake it until it's bubbly. And then we're going to have it for supper. So I think I'm really going to enjoy this dish. I want to say thank you to Tawana. Tawana Odom for requesting this recipe because I think it's going to be a family favorite for a lot of people. Some 10 fingers since me and Chris have been married in 17 years. How many casseroles have I done? I'm not a casserole person. This has not got a bunch of creamy chicken soup and stuff in it. It's a homemade dish. I guess it's a casserole but it's more of a whole noodles in it. It does, you know, you don't really need to serve it with a bread or anything. I'm just going to top it with cheese and we're going to put it in the oven and eat it.


Hello fellow followers of Christ and welcome to the show that introduces you to the men and women behind history's greatest works of literature. Come along every week as we explore these renowned authors, the times and genre in which they wrote, why scholars praise their writing and how we as Catholics should read and understand their works. I'm Joseph Pierce and this is The Authority. Hello and welcome to episode 10 of The Authority, where we are going to be discussing arguably the greatest writer who ever lived. If we would look at the history of Western civilization, there really are only three writers I would suggest who can claim the crown as the greatest. And we could argue forever perhaps about which of these three deserve the laurel. But the three would be the triumvirate, if you like, the straddled the centuries above all others, head and shoulders above the rest, so to speak, are Homer, the great writer from the classical Greek period, who was actually the subject of our first episode in The Authority. Dante, the great medieval poet with his masterpiece arguably the greatest work of literature ever written, The Divine Comedy. Finally, the subject of today's episode, the great William Shakespeare. So William Shakespeare is almost exact contemporary with the subject of the last episode, Robert Southerl. They both were born within a year or two older. Shakespeare was born in 1564, so six years into the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and died in 1616 during the reign of the monarch who succeeded Elizabeth I, James VI of Scotland, who became James I of England. So we cannot understand William Shakespeare's work unless we understand who William Shakespeare is. To remind ourselves, the modus operandi of this podcast series and the philosophy which informs it is that the most authoritative voice in understanding a work of literature is the authorial authority. That's why this is called the authority because we respect the authority of the author. So obviously the more we know about Shakespeare, the more we will be able to understand his work. So let's look at Shakespeare and what we will see, he was almost certainly a believing and probably a practicing Catholic, albeit of course secretly because the Catholic faith was illegal during the whole of the time that Shakespeare was alive, with one brief period of liberty, the accession to the throne of James I in 1603 and 1604 will come to that in due course. So there are two ways of understanding Shakespeare's Catholicism. One is to look at the facts of his life and times, so what the biographical and historical evidence for his Catholicism and the other is the textual evidence, the evidence to be found in his poetry and plays. So what I would like to do is to spend the first part of this episode looking at the historical and biographical evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism and then the second part are looking at some of the textual evidence. We'll only scratch the surface in the latter part because I mean books and books couldn't should be written on that topic. So as I said Shakespeare was born in 1564 early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and this was a time when it was illegal to be a Catholic in England and certainly from 1580 onwards would be punished by death to be a Catholic priest in England and punished by death to shelter and harbour a Catholic priest in England. We should say that unlike the other thing we have to take a step back so the historical context is that the Reformation in England is very different from the Reformation on the continent. In fact the 16th century is basically informed by, animated by three separate reformations and all of which is very different. So we have the Protestant Reformation on the continent where Martin Luther and John Calvin and others had very real theological differences with the teaching of the Catholic Church and so that Reformation was was rooted in theological and philosophical differences even though many many worldly princes used that division in Europe for their own worldly secular ambitions with the outbreak of war being the consequence etc but nonetheless there was a real theological philosophical difference between the Protestants and the Catholics. In England however Henry VIII broke with Rome not because he was against the Catholic Church on the contrary he had authored possibly with the help of two men who would later have killed St. Robert, St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher. He wrote a refutation of the teaching of Luther which was entitled in defense of the seven sacraments where he defended the seven sacraments of the Church which were under attack and under fire by Martin Luther's teaching. For this ironically considering his later actions he was awarded the title Fidei Defensor Defender of the Faith by the Pope. This was rescinded when Henry VIII broke with Rome but why did Henry VIII break with Rome? Because he wanted a divorce from his wife the very very good Catherine of Aragon who I'm always tempted to canonize not not to have any right to do so certainly she's buried in Peterborough Cathedral and I've often when I've been going through Peterborough in England and I have played above her tomb she's buried under the under the the nave so because she she appealed to Rome because she didn't want a divorce there were no grounds for a divorce Henry basically just breaks with Rome declared himself head of the Church he effectively establishes a state religion of which he is himself the dictator and all the bishops are become under his tyrannical authority. So what we have is the establishment of a state religion against the will of the people this is absolutely important very different you know Luther had a following in Germany and in Switzerland and in France and Calvin had a following in Switzerland and France. Henry had very little following amongst the people of England who were very much Catholic in belief and in practice the only reason he got away with his attempt to make himself head of the church was by buying off the aristocracy by offering them the church land so he confiscated and closed down all the monasteries and conference around around England that were themselves the schools the hospitals the places where the poor could could seek relief the places where people could stay during their travels these were closed down and the monasteries were dissolved in the land given to whichever members of the nobility of the aristocracy that would would would join Henry in his pillage of the church and is by this the enrichment of the few that the state religion was imposed upon the people of England so as a majority of the people in England were were Catholic by sensibility they fed into three camps the church conformists who outwardly paid lip service to the state religion because you were fined if you did not attend Anglican services a certain number of times a year so outwardly they conformed but moaned under their breath and hoped for the return of the good old days there were then where the second group were a group that were called the church papists by their enemies and these were were people who lived a double life outwardly they conformed to the state religion but secretly they continued to practice their Catholic faith whenever there was a Catholic priest available of course the priests were now underground because the church was illegal and then the third group were the recusants to those who refused to attend the state services and paid the fines or were forced into exile or were sent to prison or were executed for their refusal to conform to the state religion Shakespeare's family were recusants his mother's family the ardents were from one of the most defiant recusant families one of the most devout Catholic families some of Shakespeare's cousins were executed for their part in in illegal Catholic activities Shakespeare's father was fined for his recusancy in 1592 by which time Shakespeare's writing his plays earlier than that he resigned from his role in politics in Stratford upon Avon when it becomes necessary for politicians local government officials to take an oath of supremacy whereby they would accept the king as the supreme head of the church John Shakespeare evidently in conscience did not feel able to do that so he resigned from any active role in politics rather than to compromise his conscience Shakespeare himself had to leave Stratford upon Avon in a hurry due to his offending the local Lord of the Manor we don't know exactly what he did to offend him some say he wrote a sonnet attacking him others say he was he poached and the land on the Lord of the Manor's lands the fact is we don't know what we do know is Lord of the Manor was very very anti-Catholic who took a great joy and satisfaction in overseeing the raids on Catholic homes in Stratford upon Avon amongst the recusant families possibly Shakespeare's own family certainly we know of raids on houses of Shakespeare's friends so he leaves in a hurry eventually he arrives in London and the evidence such it is in London of his life also suggests he remained a defiant Catholic the Earl of Southampton his patron was a recusant Catholic who had the Jesuit martyrs of Robert Soutel as his personal confessor Shakespeare clearly moved in recusant circles his poem The Finish and the Turtle seems to allude to another recusant couple Roger and Anne Lyne Anne Lyne would be martyred for harboring Catholic priests in 1600 around the time Shakespeare was his very angry play Hamlet but perhaps the best evidence for Shakespeare's recusancy in the early times during the reign of Queen Elizabeth is when he is actually he ends up being charged with threatening the lives of two people and he's bound over to keep the peace what's interesting is the people who Shakespeare clearly had as enemies were known priest hunters who gloated about their raids on on Catholic homes about bringing out crucifixes and Catholic books and Catholic pictures and burning them outside the houses in a bonfire so these are Shakespeare's enemies his co-defendants because there were people also charged with him were no included known recusant Catholics so Shakespeare's friends are recusant Catholics his enemies are those who persecute the Catholics but the best evidence biographically for Shakespeare's Catholicism comes from the last thing that he did before leaving London to retire and return to his family in Stratford upon Avon this was the purchasing of the Blackfriars gatehouse in about 1611 or 1612 so what's the Blackfriars gatehouse well as its name would suggest it was the gatehouse to Blackfriars Blackfriars were the Dominicans so it was the entrance house to the Blackfriars religious community in London and if you go to London the area where that Dominican religious house was it's still called Blackfriars there's a Blackfriars bridge there's a Blackfriars tube station there's a Blackfriars area of London so Shakespeare buys a Blackfriars gatehouse now this is 80 years after the dissolution almost 75 years after the dissolution of the monasteries so it certainly doesn't hasn't belonged to the Dominicans for decades but we know from the property deeds that this house remained in resolute Catholic hands from the time of the dissolution of the monasteries 75 years earlier to the time that Shakespeare buys it we also know that the home is used as a base for secret Catholic activities the house is raided on several occasions and there are secret passageways leading down to the river Thames the house is on the Thames by which priests that are hiding there can escape by the secret passage and down to a boat etc we know of Jesuit priests on the run from the authorities who seek refuge there so this was a centre for Catholic activity this is the house that Shakespeare purchases certainly didn't purchase it to live in because as we've said he purchased it just before leaving London in order to purchase it merely as an investment because he was a well he'd been a wealthy man for a long while he bought the second largest house in Stratford-upon-Avon for his own family 12 or so years earlier so he certainly could afford it by houses earlier but he had lived at this time this time in London for 25 years without ever purchasing a property to live in there might be various reasons for that which we don't have time to discuss but he clearly purchased it so it could continue to be used in the same manner it had been used and this is clear from the fact that he stipulates upon purchasing it that the current tenant should remain and that tenant's name is John Robinson John Robinson is clearly a friend of Shakespeare's he's the only one of Shakespeare's London friends who at who's present during Shakespeare's final illness and signs his will in the very year in which Shakespeare purchased the Blackfriars Gate House John Robinson's brother enters the English College in Rome to study for the priesthood so the final evidence is the fact that perhaps that the executress of Shakespeare's will is his daughter Susanna who had herself been fined for her Catholic recusancy in 1606 and many of the beneficiaries of Shakespeare's will are local Catholics so that's the at least some of the biographical and historical evidence if you want to dig and delve deeper I invite you to read my book The Quest for Shakespeare the Bard of Avon and the Church of Rome which gives the biographical and textual evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism well now we've on for the second part of this podcast to look at the textual evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism and I look at this in two other books that I've written through Shakespeare's eyes discovering the the Catholic presence in the plays which looks at the Catholic presence in three of Shakespeare's plays the Merchant of Venice Hamlet and King Lear and then I wrote another book with Shakespeare and Love discovering the Catholic presence in Romeo and Juliet which has the appendix or has an appendix on the Jesuit connection so in a few minutes we have I'm just going to scratch the surface so to speak and look at some of the evidence since from some of the plays let's look at the Merchant of Venice first so the the Merchant of Venice basically is set on two levels there's the worldly level of Venice itself where the people are worldly and secular and sinful and avaricious and prideful and vengeful and then there's Belmont as the name suggests the beautiful mountain where the heavenly Porsche lives this is sort of this mysterious realm that seems to be above and beyond the the wickedness of the world and we're clearly reminded in the structure of the play morally between the high ground of Belmont and the low ground of Venice between Augustine's city of God and his city of man and basically the story tells the difference between the two and there are three tests in the Merchant of Venice the testing of the caskets where in order to gain the hand of the heavenly Porsche and become air to the beauty of Belmont this heavenly sphere of the city of God one must choose the leaden casket above the gold and silver caskets one must choose the wealth of heaven and the health of holiness over worldly wealth and wickedness and this the the Bassania does he chooses to lay down his life for his friends the true Christian definition of love to die to ourselves to choose the death of self for the good of the beloved and in making that choice he wins the hand of the heavenly Porsche in marriage um so there are illusions in that as we discussed in the previous episode to the poems of Saint Robert's Southerl should say another thing about that that that play is although ostensibly the villain of the peace Shylock is is Jewish we have to understand that Shakespeare is is is being forced to use euphemisms it was illegal in Elizabethan England at the time that Shakespeare was writing to talk about contemporary religion and politics on the stage um so he couldn't talk about what was happening uh in terms of religion and politics because it was illegal to do so so he had to talk about contemporary religion and politics euphemistically through the use of euphemism and allegory so he sets his plays in the past um but knowing that the people will see parallels between the past and the present so Queen Elizabeth was actually said that do you not know that I am Richard the second referring to um Shakespeare's play of that title Richard the third is a Machiavellian ruler many people were seeing connections between um Shakespeare's history plays and contemporary England so much so that that there was the so-called bishops ban was passed in the late 1590s making it illegal to write uh plays based upon English history um because it quite clearly these were being used euphemistically uh to talk about contemporary England so Shakespeare then writes plays about other countries he writes Hamlet Prince of Denmark Macbeth about a Scottish king obviously plays said in in ancient Rome such as Antony and Cleopatra so he gets round around it that way but he also gets around it in the merchant of Venice because um the there had been virtually no Jews in England for 300 years because they had been expelled by Edward the first 300 years earlier the only money lenders in England were the Calvinists were the Puritans and this was because the Catholic Church had always condemned usury um money lending uh whereas Calvin had permitted the practice of usury to uh to to his own followers so in England the only money lenders were the Puritans and we have to understand for Shakespeare's audience that the full star that the characters such as as uh characters such as uh Shylock in the Merchant of Venice or full star in Henry the fourth part one Henry the fourth part two and Henry the fifth and in the play Mary lives of Windsor Mary wives of Windsor and the character of Malvolio who's actually called a Puritan in the play 12th night are are Shakespeare's attacks upon Puritanism and you have to understand something about this as well that the Puritans are not just anti-Catholic um very insistent upon the continuing persecution of England's Catholics they were also against the the theater and when the Puritans eventually gained enough power uh following the English Civil War they not only of course brought back uh intensified persecution of Catholicism they also closed down all the theaters and indeed during the period of Puritan rule following the English Civil War they even for a while banned Christmas as being a papist festival is after all means Christ mass so Shakespeare knew the dangers of Puritanism and so with his audience of course you know his audience are people who go to plays who go to the theater are the very thing that that that the Puritans have have um uh dismissed as being uh satanic there are quotes and when we when we do the the episode on Richard Crasher we'll look at Richard Crasher's Puritanical father and what he had to say about the theater so really we have to see uh ironically uh considering that the Shylock is a Jew and what's happened uh our our sense it's quite correct sensibility towards anti-Semitism following the outrageous of Adolf Hitler for instance uh that for Shakespeare's audience he would have been seen not as a Jew because there were very few Jews in England but as a thinly veiled Puritan money changer and uh this is like actually I don't know ironically like the Nazis the the the the Puritans were despised by Shakespeare's audience as those who basically sought to destroy what Shakespeare's audience believed in and and what they wanted so look at some other plays we've looked at uh Hamlet the something rotten in the state of Denmark is something rotten in the state of England the play was written at around the time of the Essex Rebellion it's a very angry play um one of the Earl of Essex's right-hand men in that rebellion was the Earl of Southampton Shakespeare's um uh patron and whereas the Earl of Essex was executed when the when the rebellion was overthrown the Earl of Southampton was spared but thrown into uh the Tower of London and was only released following the death of the Queen um three years later so Shakespeare was clearly involved in this and the anger which led to that rebellion is present in the play um and it's a play which is very much about spies and we have to understand that the people who Shakespeare almost certainly knew such as Ann Lyne uh the the the the martyr and some Robert Suther were betrayed by Elizabeth's and then James's spy network um the spy network people pretended to be conversed to the faith or else Catholics were bribed and blackmailed um the usual the usual dirty sordid work of espionage so Hamlet is very much a play that's uh that's uh vensis anger where Shakespeare vences spleen against spies so Rosencraft and Guildenstern who are uh former school friends of Hamlet who are now in the service of the wicked King Claudius who killed Hamlet's father serving an adulterous relationship with his mother um Polonius the relativist uh in philosophy who believes there's no truth but but your own no objective truth only subjective truth he's the spy master who these dispatch network of spies he would have reminded Shakespeare's audience of the wicked Lord Burley who oversaw Elizabeth's spy network um Hamlet's anger against Ophelia the woman he loves when he realizes that she is spying on him that uh that she's uh to make matters worse pretending to be praying so pretending to be pious when actual fact she's serving her father in spying upon the man she loves her father and King Claudius are hiding uh while she pretends uh to to be um loyal and loving towards Hamlet this is a play that's very angry and then we look at let's look at King's King Lear the play King Lear in that play we see a theme which is a recurrent theme in the poetry of of Saint Robert's Southerl that we have to choose poverty we have to lay down our lives for uh for Christ and his church for God and neighbor um we have to choose death we have to choose to die to ourselves so in King Lear the play begins with King Lear doing exactly what the kings of England have done um to demand absolute allegiance to the state above all else King Lear tells his daughters that if they um swear absolute devotion to him and tell him how much they love him he will reward them with land just as Henry VIII did with the aristocrats who uh who um gave absolute loyalty to him when he dissolved the monasteries he gave them the land um so the two daughters who don't love King Lear pretend that they do and feign their love for him and the daughter who does truly love the king um Cordelia who's very named Cordelia could mean uh Lear's heart or Cordelion Lionheart more to the point with Cordelia she refuses to lie and she says to him she can only offer him the love which is due to him as her father and as her king she cannot offer that love which is due for instance to her bridegroom when she should get married and as in many of Shakespeare's plays references to brides and bridegrooms is also an elusive reference to Christ who described himself as the bridegroom on many occasions of course uh and the church as the bride of Christ that uh that Cordelia cannot give to the king that which belongs to Christ or to her rightful husband the heavenly bridegroom Christ himself or her own bridegroom in marriage so she refuses she becomes a recusant and like many recusants England in England she is exiled and then in the play we see the necessity of holy poverty there are two types of wisdom epitomized by the falls in the play there are two falls there's the worldly fall who tells the king he was foolish to give away his worldly power and then there's the heavenly fall who was introduced to us through the singing of a Franciscan ballad who has embraced lady poverty who lives in rags who lives uh sleeping rough on the heath who uh tells us confesses his sins and reiterates the Ten Commandments um who talks about the sins of pride and the sins of lust and the sins of avarice and king Leah sees the wisdom of this foolishness the strips himself naked on the heath saying off off you lendings that everything given to us in life is lent that our lives and themselves are lent we don't own our lives because we will be forced to relinquish them in God's good time and um so in doing this of course king Leah is emulating the the the the actions of st Francis of Assisi thus the the the reference to this the franciscan ballad the franciscan theme here we have to lay down our very lives and all our belongings embrace lady poverty uh in order to embrace the poverty of christ upon the cross this wisdom is the wisdom of the holy fall and it's this wisdom which exercises the worldly wisdom of the of the earlier fall who disappears without trace as if he's exercised by the coming of this holiness we could of course say much much more about the uh about the the uh the catholic dimension in Shakespeare's plays we don't have time uh to do so here i do invite you to to uh to read um uh my books on the topic to go deeper into the Catholicism with this greatest of writers William Shakespeare

Vanakum. Today, Tamils in Canada and around the world will mark the beginning of Taipungal, the four-day Tamil Harvest Festival. Taipungal is a time to give thanks for the many gifts of the harvest. It's a chance to come together with friends and family and celebrate peace, abundance and happiness. In January, we also mark Tamil Heritage Month and reflect on the strong roots of Canada's Tamil community. Tamil Canadians make important contributions to our country and help keep Canada open, inclusive and strong. As we go forward together in 2018, we will continue to celebrate the values that unite us and work every day to make Canada a country even more inclusive and better. On behalf of our family, Sophie and I wish everyone celebrating a happy Taipungal and a happy Tamil Heritage Month. Inya Taipungal, Nalvatukal.


Hey everybody, it's Brian, and welcome to the 35th Qt Tutorial with C++ and GUI programming. I wanted to kind of wrap up our threading for a little bit. No, we haven't gone over everything, but the rest of the stuff on the threading topics are more advanced. So I kind of want to call this the basic threading tutorial, and we'll call this part six, and this will be the last of the basic tutorials on threading. Okay, I have to back up a little bit. I had posted some comments in the official Qt forums and in Qt Center. Basically, it sparks some conversation on how threading should be done correctly. Now, if you go into the help and type Qt thread and you get the Qt thread class reference, and you click more, you can see that Qt's own documentation says to subclass Qt thread. And you can see here you've got class and you've got a subclass of it and you're overriding run. So that's why a lot of people do that. Now, some people out there have said that's not the way to do it. That's not correct. And there have actually been some disagreements in these various forums that I've been reading for the last couple of days on how to do things. So what we're going to call this is how to do a thread correctly in Qt. And if you go to, and you can actually read part of this, if you go to blog.exys.org slash entries slash 2010 slash Qt thread underscore affinity.html. I realize it's a long link, but you'll get this very, very nice how to on threads and why this is done incorrectly. See affinity mistake and he talks about how you make a subclass and it's not correct. And then he says doing it right. And I'm going to summarize the whole thing for you in case you don't want to read it. It says the easiest thing to remember is never put a Q object on a Q thread because a Q thread is not an object. Basically, it's all you need to know. And what he says is you have a worker and you have a main thread and you have an object and you move it to a thread. And we're going to kind of build a real demo, very simplified demo application. The problem with threading is it's very hard to come up with an example in 10 minutes or less in real time. So I want to try and keep this as easy as possible. So let's go ahead and close that. Let's just jump right in. And we are going to make a new console application. And we'll call this threads done right. Put it in your usual location. Next, next, finish, finish. And we get our just normal app. So first thing we want to do here is actually add a new class. So we're going to say a new C++ class. We're going to call it my thread. I'm sorry. Let's not call it my thread. Let's call it my object. That way, we don't get these confused. The base class is going to be QObject. And let's just hit Finish. And you see how we now have a class that is a subclass of QObject. So we're not subclassing QThread anymore. Now, we've got a little bit of work ahead of us. And I'm going to kind of whip through this really fast, because believe it or not, when you're recording 10 minutes goes by very quickly. So let's just add our includes here. And I have to apologize if my typing is atrocious. I'm trying an experiment with my vision. I wear glasses because I'm nearsighted. And I'm going to try and wean myself off my glasses, because my vision has been progressively getting worse over the years. My daughter thinks I'm just a total moron for doing this, but I really don't want to wear bifocals. And I dread the thought of getting eye surgery. OK, now we need a slot. I'm going to say void, do work. And let's actually make another one called or not a slot. Let's make a function called do setup. And setup takes a QThread. I should say a reference to a thread. All right, now we've got our basic header here for our class. And now we need to actually implement this. And let's go into the implementation file here. All right, now let's say void my object. And if you're kind of wondering what I'm doing here, let me explain really, really quickly. What did I call that option? Kind of lost myself there. What we're doing here is we're setting it up so that we're going to pass a reference to this thread. And we're going to connect signals and slots to it. And the reason why we're doing that is because we want to start this object on a different thread without actually subclassing the thread. Sounds really confusing, but I promise you, towards the end of this, it'll all make sense. Took me a little bit to figure it out too. But it really, really, really worked. So connect. And first thing we're going to do is say thread. And the signal is going to be started. So what we're going to do is we're going to connect when the thread is started. And we're going to connect it to this. And we're going to say slot. Hope if I could spell. And the slot is going to be do work. Remember that slot we created, which we are now going to implement here. So we'll say void. My object, do work. So in short, once the thread is created, it's going to call this slot right here. Or I should say the signal will be admitted, and then the slot will be generated. And right here is where we will do some of our work. Let's say 4 int i equals 0. And i less than, let's say, 100 QT bug. And let's just send some information out here. And whoops. Very simple. Now, let's actually just build this. Make sure we get a clean compile out of this. And it compiled. So let's go back into our main. Now we need to connect everything all together. And this is where the actual work is going to be. So we need a couple of includes here. Because we're going to create a Q thread. And then include. Jeez, maybe I should have worn my glasses. My object.  I thought it would be easy, but it's actually quite a challenge for me. Q thread, we'll say C thread. So we're just going to make a thread object. And then we're going to make a my object. And now we're going to set it up. So we'll say C object. Oh, what did we call that? This is what happens when you get older kids. Your memory goes away. Do set up is what we called it. So do set up. And we are going to basically just pass it the C thread that we just created. And now we're going to call something, which is the part of the Q object class. And it's move to thread. This is where the real work happens. This is where the real magic happens here. And you notice how it takes a pointer. So let's actually just hand it the address. And now we need to start that thread. So real quickly, before we run this, let's kind of go through this really, really quick here. We are creating a thread. We are creating a my object class, which is just a sub class of a Q object. And then we're calling this do set up. And we're handing it the thread. And when we go into do set up, really all we're doing is we're just connecting the signals and slots. We're saying, hey, when that thread emits the started signal, connect it to the do work slot. So when the thread starts, we're going to call do work. Now, here's where the magic happens. Move to thread. What we're doing is we're saying, take this object and move it into this thread. That way you're not subclassing the thread, but you're moving it to the thread. Now, why would you do that? I mean, we've always subclassed the Q thread. And it's worked fine. Well, from some of the discussions I've read, and I'm sure many, many of you will correct me if I'm wrong, signals and slots are not meant to be run with Q thread, which I find interesting because Q thread itself admits signals and et cetera, et cetera. But this is the correct way of doing it. And then, of course, you run the thread start. And when you call start, the signal's emitted, the slot's called, and the code runs. So let's compile and run this. And if everything goes good, sure enough, it ran. Let's actually slow this down just a little bit. I don't know about you, but I really like seeing things work, so we'll call MSSleep. We can't do that, can we? Why? Because we don't have the context of the Q thread object. So what we'd have to do if we wanted to call thread, which I'm running out of time, so I can't do, but we would just keep a reference to this thread object, and then you can make the thread sleep. So well, I'm sure you have many questions. I know after reading all those tutorials, I was kind of left bewildered wondering why is this the correct way of doing it, and the Q thread subclass is wrong. Even though I've read three books on Qt programming and the official documentation even says to make a subclass. Well, the only answer I can give you is this is really a testament to how flexible Qt is. You can just make it do just about anything you want. And it's very flexible, and it's very strong. I have yet to actually crash Qt, where I have crashed the Java framework, and I've crashed .NET many, many, many times. So anyways, this is Brian. Thank you for watching. I hope you found this video educational and entertaining. And we're going to step away from the threading for a little bit and go back to some gooey stuff. And we'll come back to threading, I should say advanced threading later on.


So a horizontal stretch or compression of an exponential graph changes the base of the exponential function. What about a horizontal translation? In this case, something very interesting happens because we're working with an exponential function. Let's take a look. So let's try to describe the transformations needed to produce the graph of y equals 2 to power x minus 3 from the graph of y equals 2 to the x, and then identify a different transformation that will produce the same graph from y equals 2 to power x. Since this is the graph of 2 to power x minus 3, we might start as follows. We take the graph of y equals 2 to the x and shift it horizontally to the right by 3 units. Now what happens if we apply our rule of exponents? We note that y equals 2 to power x minus 3. So remember the product rule for exponential expressions. This means that 2 to power x minus 3 is the same as 2 to the x times 2 to power minus 3. And we can simplify that to y equals 1 eighth 2 to power x. And so this means we could also take the graph of y equals 2 to power x and apply a vertical stretch by a factor of 1 eighth. And so there's two ways we can produce this graph. We can take a graph of y equals 2 to power x and shift it horizontally to the right by 3 units. Or we can take the graph of y equals 2 to power x and apply a vertical stretch by a factor of 1 eighth. We can also go backwards. So let's say the graph shown is produced by a horizontal transformation of y equals 2 to the x. Let's find the equation and describe the transformation. Now a horizontal translation will produce the graph of y equals 2 to power x minus h. Now we see the graph goes through the point 0, 4. This means that x equals 0, y equals 4 makes the equation true. And that means we can solve it for h giving us h equals negative 2. And so the equation is y equals 2 to power x plus 2. And the graph is produced by a horizontal translation of 2 units to the left. So we can take our graph of y equals 2 to the x and shift it horizontally by 2 units to the left. What if we include a vertical and a horizontal translation? The first useful thing to notice here is we see the asymptote is y equals 7. Since the graph of y equals 3 to power x has asymptote of y equals 0, the graph has been shifted upward by 7 units. And so this is the graph of y equals 3 to the x that has been shifted upward 7 units to produce the graph of y equals 3 to the x plus 7. Now if the graph undergoes a horizontal shift, its equation will be y equals 3 to power x minus h plus 7. Since the graph goes through 5, 10, we know that x equals 5, y equals 10 makes this equation true. So we'll substitute those values in and solve for h getting h equal to 4. And so we know this graph is shifted 4 units to the right to produce the graph of y equals 3 to power x minus 4 plus 7. So we can take the graph of y equals 3 to the x, shift upward by 7 units, then right by 4 units.
