Hi guys, it's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me in this video. I'm going to share a wig review with you and this wig Henry Magoo has totally knocked it right out of the park with this wig. This wig is phenomenal. I absolutely love it and before I put it on my head I'm just going to share the inside of the cap with you but the wig I'm talking about is a brand new release from Henry Magoo called Avery and Avery is just beautiful. But let me share the inside of the cap. Oh on my head is Henry Magoo's Katie wig. This is a short bob style wig and this was sent to me complimentary for review and I have it in the color 25 GR. I'll link the video that I did where I actually reviewed this wig a couple of weeks ago. So let me just do a quick spin because I love the style of this. I love how it tapers down, how you have longer on the sides. I took this with us camping when we were up in Bar Harbor, Maine and I was out in the ocean. Of course most of the time I wore hats but it's absolutely phenomenal under a hat. So anyways let me share with you Avery. Oh my gosh Avery. Avery I have Avery in the color 614 GR and I'll talk a little bit about more of the color when I put it on but I just want you to take a look at this. It's a rooted style which is my preference. I love to have a rooted style. Now the cap on this you have and Henry Magoo does phenomenal lace runs but you have a ear to ear basically. Ear tab to ear tab lace front and then you have a monofilament that goes into a part I believe it's a left side part. There is no permatease on this at all. Now this is I have it in average. I have not cinched it. You can certainly do this Velcro adjusters that you can do. The back has a little bit of an extended late nape. You can see the rooting in the back and the ear tabs are velvet lined. Very very comfortable. This this is a shorter version of one of the most popular Henry Magoo styles Candice. I don't have Candice so I can't compare it but oh my gosh this is phenomenal. Now I'm gonna put her on my head. Oh I just make some adjustments here so you can actually see. This is slightly so this is right out of the box. No styling. Let me just show you the lace front what it looks like. I think Henry Magoo hands down does exquisite lace fronts. Absolutely beautiful. So as I said there's no styling to this. There is really no permatease at least not that I can feel. It's just it's just really beautiful. Let me tell you a little bit about this. So Avery is a new style and I have her in the color 614 GR. This is part of their naturally yours line. The fibers are synthetic so they're not heat-friendly fibers and the cap I have the cap size is average. So this is actually described. The color is described on the website as a wheat blonde with light gold blonde highlights and brown and brown roots. So to me this is and I've got a couple of wigs that are in the wheat family but to me this is a light light wheat color right. It is not to me like a dark like the wheat colors that I have. So it almost looks more like platinomy to me but I'm used to a little bit darker colors. So to me this is a lighter wheat color for sure. So and and I think the highlights are more I'm not pulling a lot of gold. It may look gold in the camera. I'm not too sure. It may also look a little bit more shinier than it is in real life but the wig is brand new. So you can always deal with shine and you know you can wash it let it have a good soak in cold water. You can spray some dry shampoo on it if you want. But in real life when I look in the mirror I'm not pulling a lot of shine but I think in the camera it might. So but anyways wheat blonde really light wheat blonde to me which I really like and I am seeing some really look at the root. This is a darker brown root. I think the root is beautiful and when I first took out the box I was like oh wow the root it seems so stark but when I put it on my head it did not seem as dark on me as it looked in the box. So Avery is described as a shorter version as I said before of the very very popular Henry Bagoustale called Candace. It has beautiful layers that frame the face and that is really what I like. I don't want a wig to fall flat. I don't want a lot of permatease and I don't want to have a ton of fibers. I would say that out of all the Henry Magoos that I own this hat and I own quite a few this has the this is the lightest density Henry Magoos that I've ever had and I love this density. So even though there's no permatease the shape of the wig the layers I think makes it really look becoming. I'm going to do a slow turn so you can see. I'll go in the back. So the bangs are 8.5. The top is between 4 to 10 and a half inches. The sides are 6.5 to 6.9 to 9.5 so there's variations in the back 4 to 9 and a half. The nape is about 4 inch. Overall it's about 11 inches and it's a little over it's 3.30 ounces. So yeah I love this style. I just think this is this for a bob a mid-style bob for me. I just think this is beautiful absolutely beautiful. The fibers not heat friendly so you know they're going to really handle all sorts of different conditions and I just think the style is beautiful. It's timeless. It's realistic. I keep looking at myself in the mirror. It's realistic. I love it. I'm going to put one of my hats on because I do wear a lot of hats and I haven't tried this on with the hat. This is how I yeah if I'm going out in the sun because I do a lot of things outdoor so I do wear a lot of hats. So how does the wig look with a hat? I think this is important for me anyways. I'm going to turn around again so you can see it. I love it. Now if you have a hot time with flyaways especially when you have synthetic fibers and they're right out of the box you can always use some sort of a texturizing cream if you want to contain it or even a wig hairspray if you want. I have not done any of that. So again I just want to show you. I'm in love. I'm in love with their lace fronts. Absolutely in love with their lace roots.  Let me see if I can do that here. Give it an ear tuck and have this kind of a look. You can have barrettes. You can you can do pretty well almost anything you really like with this style. Again Henry Magoo, brand new style, Avery. I'm going to superimpose some outside shots right now so that you can see it and just take a look again at the flow of these fibers. Low density, no permities that I can feel. Perfect everyday fiber, synthetic, beautiful. It has a lace front and a beautiful monofilament part. Gives you a natural look at the roots. I'm not overdone. And I have seen some that when I look at them go there's no way I would ever wear that. I love this. I am going to order this in a couple of different colors. I just love this style. Especially once you train it off your head if that's what you want to do. However you want to wear it or if you wanted to even trim bangs you could do that. Anyways I will link this way below but you can pick this up at any of your favorite retailers. This is Henry Magoo Avery, brand new release in the color 614GR. Thank you so much for watching.


Waterborne pathogens and related diseases pose a significant threat to global public health. The costs associated with preventing and treating these diseases can be high, and the problem persists despite continued efforts to maintain safe drinking water. Diagnostics tools are being developed to detect both cultivable and non-cultivable pathogens, as well as those found on biofilms. Additionally, quantitative microbial risk assessments, QMRAs, provide valuable insights into the risks posed by waterborne pathogens.

this study examined the effect of actuator timing on user perception of robotic ankle exoskeletons. The researchers found that individuals had varying levels of sensitivity to actuator timing, which could affect the accuracy of the device's performance. Additionally, the study showed that the amount of ankle angle change caused by the device was dependent upon the individual's ankle stiffness and the amount of torque applied during walking. This suggests that the device may need to be tailored to each user's specific needs in order to maximize comfort and safety.

Okay, so let's attempt this one. It says the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction hydrogen gas plus carbon dioxide gas goes to water gas plus carbon monoxide gas is 4.2 at 1650 degrees Celsius. Initially a 0.80 mole of hydrogen and 0.80 mole sample of carbon dioxide were injected into a 5 liter flex. Calculate the concentration of each of these species in equilibrium. Okay, so let's go about doing this. So they're giving us the Kc, so that means the concentration in molarity. Okay, so if we look here, we've got number of moles, number of moles and volume. So those are molarity, but from those numbers we can get the molarity. Okay, so how do we do that? Well, let's take these n's and replace them with n's. So what's the molarity? It's going to be the number of moles divided by the classical. Okay, so when we do that, we're going to get 0.16 molar hydrogen and 0.16 molar carbon dioxide. Is everybody okay with doing that first one? So let's now, so we've got the value for Kc, but we don't have the Kc expression. Okay, and remember we get that Kc expression from the balanced reaction equation, which we have a balanced reaction equation up here. Let's go ahead and write out what the expression for Kc would be. Well remember it's going to be the product raised to their coefficients. So concentration of water times the concentration of carbon oxide divided by the reactants raised to their coefficients. So this one is the fairly straightforward Kc. So I'm actually going to need this middle piece, this room in the middle for writing an ice table, as you guys have predicted already, I see. Would you mind if I raised this portion? So would you okay with that? Write our ice table, initial change equilibrium. Okay, so it said we started out with only hydrogen gas and only carbon dioxide. Yes, so when we put those in, we're going to put 0.16 there, 0.16 there. So that means we didn't start in with any water and we didn't start with any carbon dioxide. The change, of course, well, since we only started with reactants and no products and this is in equilibrium, it's going to be pushed that way. So that means minus x there, minus x there, plus x there, plus x there. So what are we going to get in equilibrium? 0.16 minus x. So this one's nice in setting up to be perfect squares, so that's really nice. Okay, so let's go ahead and plug in our equilibrium because this is Kc, right, so it's at equilibrium. So let's plug in our equilibrium values from our ice table. So we've got 1.16, or 0.16 minus x, 0.16 minus x, x and x. So let's put them in the proper positions. So water, x. Carbon monoxide, x. Hydrogen gas, 0.16 minus x. Carbon dioxide, 0.16 minus x. So this, of course, also equals x squared divided by 0.16 minus x squared, like that. So we can take those squares out and make the whole thing squared. So let's just plug in 4.3 because that's the value of 4.2, sorry, 4.2 because that's the value for Kc. So we're going to have 4.2 equals x divided by 0.16 x and we're going to square the whole thing. Okay, so how do we get the square out of there? We take the square root of both sides. Okay, so the one side is going to be x divided by 0.16 minus x and the other side is going to be x divided by 0.16 minus x. So the other side, square root of 4.2, which is 2.05. It's actually going to be two significant figures, so we'll clear that up in a little bit, okay? But let's just keep the three significant figures right. So now let's try to isolate x. So how do we do that? Multiply both sides by 0.16 minus x. So times 2.05 equals x, like that. So let's multiply that by 2.05 times 1.6. So that's going to be 0.3. So what we're going to do is we'll reduce this now finally to two significant figures. So 0.33 minus 2.05x equals x. So move this over to the other side. So this is going to be 3.05x equals 0.33, figuring out the value of x. Now x is going to be 0.33 divided by 3.05, and that should give us 266. So I get 0.11 molar for x. So these here are the concentrations at initial, or these initial concentrations. So what are the equilibrium concentrations? Let's figure that out now. So that's going to give us all we need to figure out concentrations. Hydrogen gas concentration at equilibrium and equal 0.16 molar minus 0.11 molar. So that's going to give us all we need to figure out the concentration. So that equals 0.05 molar. Hopefully that makes sense, right? The concentration of CO2 and equilibrium is going to be the same, 0.16 molar, 0.05 molar, and then the concentration of H2O at equilibrium, well that equals x, right? So that's going to be 0.11 molar. And the concentration of carbon monoxide at equilibrium is also x, so it's also 0.16 molar. So that was a nice table one, pretty involved, but not too terribly complicated, okay? Thank you.


this spring season really we couldn't hope for any better. We've been outside 10 days, we started February the second on that Sunday and you just can't pass up this great weather so we've been able to have 10 practices. We've made the teams for the season now and now we'll start our seeding tournament actually today and it's going to be in the 50s so fantastic weather and things are going great. This was the first year we had a non-traditional season for beach so we had seven beach-only players so my assistants Keith Lorenz and Mike Chris were able to run a non-trad season which was fantastic and they really helped the skills of our beach-only players so we have 16 total players six pairs we'll get a chance to travel and the competition between as you said is going to be incredible and this year actually the way this way the partners worked out we have a senior on three different pairs so the seniors are not together so that which I think is really going to add to our depth bringing along the freshmen and the sophomores along with them so I think that we are going to be really really strong from top to bottom no matter who travels. Well not on the 27th of Thursday we fly out to Fort Wayne, Indiana it's an indoor beach facility and we'll play Moorhead who's Division 1, Tuscalim Division 2, Carson Newman Division 2 and Parks. I'm not sure about Park University but we'll play those four teams indoors probably not our first choice because there's no wind the wind is the great equalizer when you're not as tall as like some of the Division 1 teams but we're really looking forward to that then after a week break where we'll challenge for those positions again we'll go down to Florida we'll play all D2's in Florida we'll play Palm Beach we'll go to Palm Beach Atlantic for a tri-match we'll go to Weber University for a tri-match Florida Southern for a tri-match and St. Leo for a tri-match all D2 two of them are NAIA but we'll play eight matches while we're down there so that's great great competition for us to get ready for the national championship it's NCAA Division 3 only the ABCA sponsors national championships for Division 2 NAIA and now Division 3 this is the first year so we will actually be playing for Division 3 national championship down at Hickory Point Florida the 17th 18th and 19th of April so that is what we're pointing towards you know this is our fifth season of beach and we'd love to win a national championship and you know and you were talking about depth next year we should have 11 or 12 during our non-trader beach only players it's something that we did not do on purpose you can definitely play both but the way the beach world is growing there are a lot of girls out there that want to play beach only and they're coming to Stevens and to do it


The vagina undergoes significant changes following childbirth, including a shift in the balance of bacteria present and an increase in inflammation. These changes are linked to long-term health outcomes such as infertility and preterm birth. Prior live births appear to reduce the likelihood of a favorable vaginal environment, while longer interpregnancy intervals seem to mitigate this effect. This article was authored by Elizabeth K.

It's, I'm done. I was shocked how heavy this plastic garbage is. This thing is pretty heavy. For being plastic, it is heavy. This is actually, to me, I'm gonna weigh it right now on my scale, but I think this manifold is lighter than that plastic garbage can right there. Which doesn't make sense. You would think that the plastic would weigh less than the aluminum, right?  Everybody's having a fantastic day out there. So today, guys, wanted to show you brand new mod that we just got for Frostbite, and it is absolutely sick. So I'm gonna start it off with probably a sneak peek right here. But, oh, most of you guys probably know what that is. That is intake manifold off of Frostbite. This is our stock 5.7 Hemi stock manifold. And as you see, it's no longer on Frostbite. So, what's in the white box? Well, let's get right to it, guys. I'm gonna pull this joker out. Yeah. This is a two box dilly right here. All right, so obviously, stock intake manifold is a no-go, no-gueno, no longer needed. So, what do we have in this box? Shall we see? Got a gasket. Got some hardware. But, let's see what this is. Get model Hemi motors. Look at that, dude. Oh, yeah. So, here we go. I'm gonna face it towards you guys. What's in box number two? Well, it's gonna be the top two, said manifold. Look at that. Oh, let's see what she looks like. Drop it on. Right now, that's gonna look so awesome on Frostbite.  Look at this.  It's, I'm done. As you see, we got the manifold to replace it with. A lot of people is gonna probably ask, why didn't you do the six, four manifold? Well, it's ugly. Just like that. It's ugly. It's plastic, and it's ugly. Yes, the six, four manifolds and the five, sevens has active runners. On an NA car, better for you. On a nitrous vehicle or a boosted vehicle, I'm sorry.  It is absolutely hideous.  It still looks like garbage. You can smooth them out, paint them, whatever.  This, oh, okay. Oh, baby. That right there, that right there is, that sexy time right there. Absolutely beautiful. This thing is gonna look really awesome with the Torque Storm Supercharger. It's gonna blend right in. It's gonna make the engine bay on Crossbyte absolutely just pop. Not only that, we should pick up a good bit of power on the upper RPM band. Cam vehicle, we have a huge stall and we have a trans brake. So yes, I am fully aware that without the active runners that's on the Hemi's factory, there's a good bit of chance if you have a big cam and everything, you could lose a little bit of lowing Torque going into a manifold like this. But there's ways to get around that and ways to tune around that. One's big stall converter, power adder, nitrous boost, which is what these manifolds are absolutely made for. They have endless nitrous accessories made by Nitrous Express, NOS, nitrous outlet, all of them have the most awesome nitrous accessories for these manifolds. They have plates that literally drop in here and direct port inject each runner evenly. So the nitrous guys, this manifold is absolutely the way to go if you are a nitrous guy. A boosted guy, absolutely. Not only for boosted guys, there's a company out there called Tic Performance that has a drop in water to air intercooler that drops onto this manifold. And then the top actually goes on top of it, kind of like so. And you can have a water to air intercooler that drops in here. And it is actually a very nice piece of product from Tic Performance. They have two versions. They have a low profile that does up to like, I think it's like 1200 horsepower. And they have a taller version that can go way over 1500. Not lying, I'm really looking into that shorter version. I would like to go to an air water intercooler and ditch the front mount intercooler that's on Frostbite. That would be awesome. But this manifold, there is just so many directions that you can go with the Holley Hi-Ram manifold for your Hemi, that again, the options is endless for the nitrous guys, the boosted guys, even the NA guys. If you're building an all out NA streamer, this manifold is still gonna be a good contender for you. It's gonna make lots of power up high. And if you have the proper converter and motor build, you will not lose very much on the low end of the spectrum, especially if you got some really good tuning going into the build. But again, guys, this thing is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to get this on Frostbite. It is gonna look so awesome. I'm gonna grab the camera. I'm gonna bring the camera over here and kind of get a close up of this thing and let you guys check it out. The ports on these manifolds, I can literally almost put my hand inside the runners on this manifold. It is just massive. Massive. So heck yeah, let me grab the camera and let you guys check it out real quick. All right guys, so here is the manifold. I have the top off. Oil cap goes right here. They supply you with the oil cap. It also comes with fuel rails. I forgot to mention the fuel rails. Let me grab them real quick. They are in this box right here. So they give you some super awesome fuel rails to go along with this. And they say Holley EFI right on the fuel rails. Very nice sized fuel rails.  So you get the fuel rails, you get the gaskets, the oil cap as you can see is right there. Some hardware. And it's a really nice looking manifold. So again, this is the Holley high ram. Pretty tall. You can kinda compare it to the stock 5.7 over here. Let me move this lid. Bring this joker over here. I'm gonna turn the high ram next to it so we can kinda see it. So there you go. Hunk of garbage. Absolutely beautimous right there. Look at that. So there's the height without the lid on. And again, look at these ports. Look how massive these ports are.  How much flow you're gonna get through these runners. And again, the products from a Nitrous Express, NOS, Nitrous Outlet, all the Nitrous guys. And I know I got a lot of Nitrous people on the channel. Man, the things you can do with this manifold with Nitrous. Man, I'm telling you, you can get spray bars put in here. There's plate kits from all the above. I just stated all the manufacturers make a plate that drops on that literally, I've already looked at them, squirt in each runner, dead, nuts, even. So basically, you pretty much have direct port Nitrous by just dropping a plate on top of these manifolds. They also, for the guys that wanna plumb a nozzle in each runner, you can see the flat spot here. There's flat spots on every runner. Every runner has a flat spot. So you can direct port a nozzle if you'd rather run a nozzle in each runner down low. You can easily tap this manifold. It's aluminum, it's thick, lots of material to work with. But again, there's drop in plates that does the same thing, works great. Tick performance has drop on water to air intercoolers. And they fit right in here. The lid goes on top of them and bam, you have a super nice intercooler system. I'm gonna put the lid on here, just set it up there real quick. That is what it looks like with the lid on.  I believe this is 105 and then there's adapters to adapt your stock throttle body on, which is what I'm actually doing for the time being. I'm just gonna jam my stock throttle body on here. And eventually, yes, I know people's asked me, God, you still have the stock throttle body? Yes, I do. I mean, it just works. I mean, I don't know what to tell you, it works. And eventually I'm gonna change it out, we'll see. But right now, for the time being, because I'm trying to get ready for Moe party, I'm just jamming the stock throttle body on here with an adapter that they have from Holley. And yeah, there you go, there's that. So, lid on, again, I mean, this is just, this is just awesome.  You can also get these in black. They got them powder coated black already.  I wanted the bare aluminum version because it'll match up with the Torxstorm Supercharger and it'll look really good under the hood of Frostbite. So there you go. Now, stock manifold, I mean, hey, it's done us pretty good, guys. We've went, I see, fastest time to date, we went 11.6, you know? And I think it was like a 2,800-ish DA, we went 11.6 on this manifold. Hey, we've ran the nuts out of it. Truck has 150,000 miles on it. And manifold did us good for the time being, but it is gone. I mean, look at the, just, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, is all I can say. Like, these are just horrendous looking. That is the biggest thing on the Hemi.  I mean, it is, I mean, literally garbage can pretty much. That is what it is. It's just a block of garbage. So yeah, you know, your next best thing, guys, six-four manifold works good, tune's good. A lot of guys are running them, they work good.  And I'm all about my truck being fast. I want my truck to be fast. I want it to run good. I want it to look good too. And you're not gonna look good with that plastic manifold. That's just all there is to it. As you guys know, I don't just race my truck for numbers.  So I want the best of both worlds. And here you go, that's it. That is beautiful, that's all I can say. And this manifold will definitely let us grow into the build of Frostbite for much more time going. Like we can make so much more power on this manifold down the future that we shouldn't have to change this ever again. Like that should be the manifold, probably for the rest of life on Frostbite. That manifold is gonna flow more than enough numbers for us in the future for whatever we do to the truck. So there you go, that's the manifold I went with. No more plastic garbage. Now the other thing I noticed, guys, this manifold, and I'm sure the 6.4 is probably just as bad.  This thing is pretty heavy. For being plastic, it is heavy. This is actually, to me, I'm gonna weigh it right now on my scale, but I think this manifold is lighter than that plastic garbage can right there. Which doesn't make sense. You would think that the plastic would weigh less than the aluminum, right?  All right, we're gonna start with the 5.7 plastic garbage can on the scale first.  We even took all the manifold bolts out. Took the oil cap off, because right now the Holley don't have the oil cap, so it's pretty much bare. And now that we got everything off of it, it's gonna be close, it's gonna be close. It's gonna be close and wait, we'll see. All right, what we got? We're on the scale. We got a hot 2037, 2037, LBs. All right, well, let's swap them out and let's see. I'm still kind of feeling like the Holley's lighter, but I'll know after getting everything off of it, it's feeling like it might be kind of close. So let's find out. Here we go, let's switch them out. Woo, all right.  That's cause that manifold's so massive, the footprint. Hardly gets on my scale there, as you can see. So we had to flip it upside down, make it look a little goofy, but we got it on there. And, well, I swear that thing feels lighter, but it's not, it's a little heavier, but not by much. Well, before I show you, the little bit of pound difference is so worth the way it looks. But here we go, on the scale. We got 23, 28 LBs, you know, so we're three pounds heavier. I knew it was close. I knew it was close. Again, I was really shocked how heavy that plastic pile of garbage is. That thing's pretty heavy. And, well, again, yeah, it's just ugly. I wanna show you one more thing real quick, guys. I'ma flip these intakes over so you can see the runners on the backside, where they go into the cylinder heads, see the difference between a stock 5.7 that's not ported or anything to the Holley Hiram. So let's check that out. All right, so we have them flipped upside down, and that is runners on the bottom. These ports are definitely bigger than the factory 5.7. My manifold is not ported. This is a stock 5.7 manifold. That's one port right there. We'll go to the same corner on this intake. So there you go. Holley Hiram manifold for the Hemi motors, stock 5.7 garbage can going off the truck. So again, I wanna do, I do wanna mention, all right, these manifolds from Holley for the Hemi. They fit the 5.7, the 6.4, they pretty much fit all the late model Hemi's, cars, trucks, whatever. Now, with that said, on the RAM trucks, they fit very good. The hood clears, there's plenty of room under the hood. Not a problem. As you see, these are taller, okay? This is taller than the stock manifold right there. I mean, that's a pretty good difference. On the RAM trucks, the hood is not a problem. They fit, they clear, they look good. Now on the car, they fit. However, may contact the hood, possibly. So you do wanna check that. Now there is people out there running this manifold on tons of challengers and chargers. Most of them are running a different hood, but you may have an issue on your hood. So definitely look into that. Now they make other intake manifolds, it's a little shorter, that won't be a problem with your hood.  For sure. Hiram is the way to go, I believe. So again, RAM trucks fits beautiful. On the cars, fits nice, need to check with your hood. Might be a problem there. But tons of people are running it on the cars. I'm super stoked for the highly Hiram to get on Frostbite. I'm ready to see the appearance difference. I'm ready to see what happens on the track. I think we should gain something for sure. It may not be a huge gain, but I think we should gain something. But no matter what, it's gonna look good and we're gonna be able to grow into this manifold. Whether it's right now or later, this manifold's gonna be the way to go for my truck. That's for sure. Now, I wanna mention one other thing, all right? If you look under the stock manifolds, everybody knows these manifolds sit literally right on the engine block. There is pretty much no air flow underneath the engine block. They snug right up on the engine block, on the top of the block. Look at all this. You got tons, not to mention through the runners. I mean, you got tons of room through these runners, literally all the way through the bag. Tons of air flow. This thing sits up off the engine block a lot. So you're gonna get a lot of air flow under the manifold, through the sides of the manifold, and air flow through the top of the motor that currently I used to not get with this manifold. So I'm curious how this manifold's gonna cool. The engine, if we get better air flow, if the engine actually likes this manifold over the plastic. Now I know plastic, and a lot of reasons why everyone's, you know, all these manufacturers go to plastic. Plastic cools very nice, and it works well. It's just ugly. Aluminum cools really nice also. It does retain a little more heat than plastic, but all these air ports and holes, I think it's gonna be a toss up if it changes it all, or if maybe we do gain a little bit of cooling factor with having this manifold up off the engine block. I don't know, we'll see. We'll have to look at the data logs and see what happens, but anywho, there you go. That's it. So that's it for this video. We got some more stuff, more videos coming on Storm. We're working on the meth injection installation. I got that video in the works. So stay tuned for that. Pretty much done. Got to tweak a little things here and there, finish up some stuff, but Storm's almost there. So stay tuned for that. Obviously we got some videos coming with the install of this manifold and how much it changes our engine bay. It is gonna be awesome. And hey, Mo Party is a few weeks around the corner, so we got a lot of work to do. I got to get this thing on. We got to finish Storm. Storm is driving all the way from Georgia to Kentucky. It's gonna drive all the way there on a Storm supercharger. Again, I told you guys that truck was gonna be a daily driver, and that's what it's gonna be. So that truck's being driven from Georgia to Kentucky for Mo Party. If you're gonna be at Mo Party, you'll be able to see Storm and Frostbite. And obviously we're gonna be racing the tar out of Frostbite. And we'll be doing some tuning for this thing, obviously, and getting ready to see what happens. Hopefully we have some good air. We maybe break our personal best time and have some fun. We'll see some badass Mo Party. So yeah, that's it guys. As always, hit that like button. Don't forget, hit that like button.

Meetings, meetings, meetings, welcome to Boulder, Colorado. I was here two days ago, remember that? I showed you the tour of where I used to live, so I went to college here, so I'm definitely going to give you guys a little tour after my meetings, which is probably going to be raining this afternoon, but I want to give you a little sneak peek of the University of Colorado. Go Buffs. Just go Buffs. So, anyway, got to hop into these meetings before I might. See you in a minute. No, see you in like six hours, not a minute. Meeting number two. Here's the Italian campus. All right, meetings done, almost. One more later this afternoon, squeezing in a quick lunch run. Oh, man. Just got to keep fighting, folks. It's all I got to say. It's all I got to say. All right. We're going in the trunk. The one place in the world I feel like I can run in my short shorts and not get looked at weird. Thank you, Boulder. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. All right, back to work. About 20 minutes before I need to sit back down in Denver. So, 30 shots in 30 seconds. Remember, I reinvigorated it yesterday in yesterday's vlog, so we're going to do it again. 30 shots, 30 seconds to give you the setting, the feel of the University of Colorado. What's happening here in Boulder? All right. Go. Like it is. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Mom. First of all, for encouraging me to go to college. And second, because I saw the sign in the back seat of the car. Seek beauty, work hard, love each other. And I did not want to come film these shots, even though it only took 10 minutes. I just wanted to jump in the car and drive home. But I got them for you real quick. I know they were kind of fast. So, thank you, Mom. And I know they were kind of fast. But the reason I have fast shots is because I don't want the vlog to drag on for you guys. I want it to be as entertaining as possible. So, that's why I do the doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, shots as quick as possible. So, if you didn't catch them, rewind, watch it again, 20, 30 seconds and pick it up. All right. Heading home. Whatever you guys are pursuing, I have those three in mind all the time. Whatever your three things are, do it. Just do it, right? As Nike would say, just do it. University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado. Go buffs. Go buffs. This used to be my home right here. And now this is my home. Boom. Welcome home. I just looked at the weather map, the radar, the snow, and rain is literally like, eh, it's by about 100 miles west of us right now, according to the radar. So, we're going to try and put down some more grass seed. The boys and I, now that I'm home, and we found it. Oh, you okay? Found a tambourine today. You okay?  Oh, there you go. That's fun. All right. Here we go. Let's get a shovel out. No, right along here. So wherever there's dirt, we're going to, grass seed is down, but now you've got to cover it with dirt and then hope for the rain to arrive. The boys are going to take a break though. Pop is in charge. Pop is in charge now. Here we go. Here we go. I don't know if you saw the radar there, but it is, I can actually see the snow in Boulder where I was. It's like dark, dark, dark clouds over there. It's not quite over there yet, but it is definitely hitting, you know, 30 miles away. So, I got to cover the plants and, you know, you live and learn as far as when to plant your plants every spring. You're supposed to wait until after Mother's Day. I planted on one day before to give true love a little gift, but we'll be okay. We'll be okay. We'll survive this. Folks, I'm calling it. I'm going to finish raking here. Work hard out there. Seek beauty. Love each other. Trying to get a little sunset for you. Supposedly it's going to rain tonight. That's a theory. And then snow tomorrow night. So, Ayo, just getting the grass seed ready, but I hope the seeds of your life are being nourished right now. That might have sounded corny, but I don't care. I do not care. All right. Love you all. Thanks for tuning in once again. This is like meetings, driving, meetings, planting seeds with the boys, sunsets, beer. Life is good. Tacos. Thanks, son. See you tomorrow.

Yeah So I'm that's her dad, right? I'm guessing. Oh, yeah.   Well, oh wait, what did like a half titan? What the Hey What Oh, I thought it was a titan for a second like a mini titan Maybe oh rip frog.  This is so rude. I'm so confused right now by so many things I I have a lot of question raise your hand It is a titan it's like a really small titan Um, oh sasha. How do you do this so poorly? Where is his thing? What thing his death thing? In his neck. He's different. He's built different. Yeah, he just built different Why is this he like just not care is he just that focused on What a weird titan. What the heck?   This girl just does not care Whoa, he's actually coming to the sound of a whistle So many questions. I don't think this bow is gonna do anything Yeah, then axe them like that is actually like the back of his neck didn't work This kid is scorned bro. She's like everybody was slaughtered. Oh my god I wanted to just throw the girl He's moving so menacingly He's kind of slow. I think that's fine. Yeah She was raised with manners aw People judge me for my southern accent Random Mikasa cameo there What a weird way to get her to stop talking I don't think she was saying that she was just being like Be who you are so mean Like it's the end of the world people die every day like I always be nice. I don't know like you can scrape together every little bit of karma you can He's walking so he's just got those strides Yeah, I know his legs are like the sides of her body. So he's just Uplifting song in the background. Yeah, this girl's just caring blankly.  Oh I don't understand what this does I don't know if it's worth like stopping like just keep going. You know, that's what I said I was like, I don't know what this does for you. I get the symbolism of like leading one to I don't know. I thought he was like falling over Why does he looks like Where did you learn to shoot? Oh, she's a hunter. He looks kind of recognizable, doesn't he? Maybe it's the facial hair Yeah, he does I just don't understand like An axe to the nape didn't do anything.  What do you mean? Actually, where's she gonna go honestly? Yeah, that's what I was wondering What's up?  Yeah, I don't all in a dress, dude. He's looking around Uh, that's gross I feel like this girl's like dead already. She got the horse No, I don't think the little girl got the horse Wait, oh, there's there's her dad now. It's not as depressing as I thought. Yeah, I thought this is gonna end way worse. Yeah Wait, so they just They just pat. Oh, I thought they just passed her and kept going Hey, good girl That's a weird titan though. Yeah, actually that's like I think that was like one of the smallest We've seen it looked a lot smaller at first though But dude, she was like Slashing it across the back of the neck the nape and he wasn't dying dude. Yeah Connie's freaking but oh, yeah, this is Connie's hometown Sorry boss, uh, not as lucky Someone just comes out. Oh Connie. Yo, hey Quiet down Trying to build here. Don't find their bodies, please just show an empty house or something Oh uncomfortable at this moment. Yeah This just like puts a cherry on top that these last titan there is just on his house Yeah, why are the legs and arms like Mounted and urged. Yeah Oh the ribs I feel like it's someone that transforms or something. All right guys So that's the end of the episode we got a weird like kind of Sasha focus I feel like they have to flesh out more of the crew because we've gotten to the point where it's like Okay, like we know who they are but we don't care as much because we don't know as much as their backstory We got a lot of their backstory in terms like when they were training and stuff But I feel like the whole thing with annie. It was like, oh, wow It's annie but like pretty much all we got with her was that was she was more shy More distant from people and then that she trained with Aaron once she gets out of the cocoon Aaron's has been kind of chilling right now. He's recovering especially with Mikasa Imagine the writers just sitting down and being like, man, maybe we should focus on song today We should I think that'd be a good idea guys that's gonna be it for this episode If you're new be sure to drop a sub begin willies linked down below We'll see you in a couple days for the next episode of attack on titan peace. Peace


Welcome to Sheboygan County government working for you. My name's Adam Payne, Sheboygan County Administrator and co-host of this program with Chairman Roger Tostruti. Yes, Tostruti. There's a new individual to my left, your right. Roger just took over as the County Board Chairman about a month ago, so as you know, Chairman Mike Banderstein was co-hosting this program for the last four years, and my hope is Roger is gonna be here the next four, so we look forward to having him on the program. Of course, today our first guest with our new Chairman is Carl Bissing, our Corporation Council. Welcome, Carl. Thank you. Carl has a very important job of keeping the two of us out of trouble. He's one of 20 department heads, and as Corporation Council is our legal advisor, our attorney for the county, and has a very, very important role and responsibility to help the county board as a whole and our organization as a whole be successful. We have about 124, $25 million budget, 900 employees, now 24 county board supervisors, and a county administrator that's getting in. It all sorts of trouble all the time, so we have to have a good Corporation Council. And Carl, why don't you please begin by just sharing a little bit about yourself. When did you become Corporation Council? Sure, I'm a Sheboygan native. I went to high school with Chairman Tostruti's wife, so Noe Roger for a long time, or at least his wife for a long time. Small world, I didn't know that. I went to the University of Wisconsin Law School, graduated in 1976. I've been practicing law in Sheboygan since 1984, and have served as Corporation Council since 2001. I'm in private practice, which is a little different than most Corporation Councils and most department heads, in that I'm working for Sheboygan County under a contract. My law firm, Hop Newman-Humpkey, has had the contract, or my predecessor law firms, have had the contract since the 1950s, when Alex Hopp was the Corporation Council for a long time. We've got seven members of our law firm, and I'm the lead attorney for purposes of working with the county, but some of the other lawyers in our law firm do work for the county from time to time, and they're designated as assistants to the county when they operate on behalf of the county. So what year was it that you became lead Corp. Council? 2001. 2001, and I started in 1999, so it's been, I mean, time flies. Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.  Your law firm, and you particularly, they have done an excellent job for us, and it's nice that if you're not available, or there's someone else who has an area of expertise, we have different people to go to, but why don't you set the stage sharing a little bit about what is the role of a Corporation Council? I imagine we may have some viewers who have just never, what's a Corp. Council, what do they do? Corporation Council is the attorney that does all the civil legal work for the county. Sometimes people get confused with the district attorney for the county. The district attorney prosecutes criminal cases on behalf of the citizens of Sheboygan County. But the civil matters, the contract negotiations, the review of contracts, the parliamentary procedure, the open records issues, the open meetings issues, any day-to-day activities for the county that require some legal work is the type of stuff I do, or my partners in my law firm do when they are acting on behalf of the county. And as you said, you've been contracted by the county for a number of years. Take us back in time a little bit. How did that come to be, and how was your office structured? Well, the position of Corporation Council used to be part of the job of the district attorney, and at a certain point in time, the county board decided to separate those duties and allow the district attorney to focus exclusively on criminal stuff. There wasn't at some point in time enough legal work to require the county to hire an attorney on a full-time basis. So Alex Hoppe's law firm was given the contract on a part-time basis. And over time, it continued to be contracted to the law firm. The contract is reviewed periodically, and I guess we've done a good enough job to satisfy the county and the county board that this works to the benefit of both the county and the taxpayers. So as you've indicated, Adam, we've been able to enlist the expertise of a variety of our attorneys to do projects on behalf of the county where they have some area of expertise rather than having an in-house attorney that may or may not have all the skills necessary for the needs of the county. So I think it's worked out well. I think it's worked out very well. And as you said, this is not the norm. I think most counties probably have an in-house attorney, someone that's on the county payroll. This is a contract situation, but the beauty of it is, is that not only do we have the benefit of your expertise, but we have an entire law firm available to us. And share a little bit about your partners. What kind of expertise, what kind of co-workers do you have? Well, for example, Phil Miller is an attorney in our office that does a lot of probate to state planning, business planning, and I've strong armed him into working with our county treasurers so that when there are foreclosures, tax foreclosures, and the like, Phil is the go-to person for county treasurer, Laura Hanning-Lorens. Crystal Fieber is an attorney in our office. I've asked her to work with the planning department to make sure that the septic and sewer system issues, private sewer system permits and so forth are addressed. Mike Bauer is an attorney who works with a lot of local municipalities. If I have an issue or a question dealing with open records or open meetings, he's a go-to person for me for those types of things. So it kind of works well that when I'm not able to do something or if I'm not comfortable in an area, I go to one of the other attorneys. Paul Dirksie, for example, has got a pretty good handle on child support issues, mental issues, mental commitment issues that the county is involved in. And so he's the backup in that area. So again, it works well. Works real well and of course, if you're on vacation or sick, we have someone else to turn to in your absence so it's worked out real well. Last question before I turn it over to Roger. So we have this entire law firm available to us so of course, you're the primary individual we work with. What, how much is the contract? Essentially, what are we paying for these services? It's about $200,000 a year. The contract provides everything, our postage, our malpractice insurance, our legal books, our secretarial work, our papers. Unless there's some real out of pocket expenses, dealing with something, it's all in. So there's no benefits as far as retirement or health insurance or anything like that. It's strictly a cash deal. And as you know, we've periodically compared in contract trusted your services versus bringing it in-house. Could we more cost effectively bring it in-house? And each and every time we've assessed that, ultimately we've concluded we have a good situation and the county board has re-upped the contract. I think generally they're three to four years, are they not? Four years. Four years, right. All right, with that I'll turn it over to the chairman. Thank you. Thank you, Adam. There have been a lot of changes coming out of Madison lately. How have some of those changes affected Sheboygan County government? Could you explain some of those? Well, most particularly in the last legislative session in the governor's budget and the governor's repair bill, obviously controversial, but at least in some respects it has given Sheboygan County some opportunities to make savings for the taxpayers. It's almost forced the county to make savings in some respects because part of the package has put limitations on the county's ability to raise property taxes to support its activities. On the other hand, as has been bantied about, there have been tools that have been given to the county government to handle the responsibilities that have been given when they're taking the ability to raise taxes away on the one hand, when they've taken away some of the state subsidies of county activities that are mandated. On the other hand, they've given some opportunities or tools to the county to manage this workload. Most importantly, on the collective bargaining area, they've scaled back considerably the collective bargaining obligations that the county would otherwise have with its employees. This has allowed the county to change some work rules and we're in the process of changing some work rules on the county level right now to make it more advantageous to the taxpayer and to allow the county administration to provide services to the taxpayer in a more responsible manner. So you feel that the outcome has been good for the taxpayer and we have adapted pretty well compared to some other counties? Well the outcome of the taxpayer is an open question and one that will be rolled out over the next one, two, three, four years and beyond unless there's a change and we roll it back but each year that contracts expire and as we move forward and implement some of the things I think will be very telling. We've gone through a real process on the county level and other units of government are doing the same thing where we've really been put to the test to make sure that our services are meeting the needs of the community while at the same time creating work rules, I say we, the county board, the county administration is creating work rules that allow for some flexibility while at the same time we need to make sure we're a responsible employer of the county employees. We've been working hard to make that balance. I think we're going to be successful but it's always a work in progress. Thank you.  Could you explain how that affects your department and the other departments that they touch? Sure. I just said that the county contracts with my law firm to provide the legal services that the county has but in two respects, that's not quite true. The legislature has mandated that county boards provide child support enforcement services for its citizens and the legislature has also mandated that counties provide mental health services, including involuntary mental health services when necessary. And those line item activities of legal counsel for child support enforcement and mental commitments, we have an on staff county employee, Natasha Torrey Morgan, who handles those day to day activities for those two departments. And she reports to me, I supervise her activities although she's been around nine years, you talk about time flies, she's been around nine years and is pretty autonomous as far as her activities. Those are some of the things you normally do. Are there any special projects going on out of the ordinary that have taken up much of your time lately? Well, when the county as a whole is engaging in some major activity, obviously, or some new initiative, obviously they wanna make sure that we're doing it properly. So for example, the county has been engaged in the initiative to reestablish freight rail service from Plymouth to Sheboygan Falls and beyond. The so-called T grant activity. And I've been involved with other units of government, with the State Department of Transportation, other of our departments to make sure that the legal documents relating to this re-initiation of rail service is done in a proper manner and that the county's interests are protected. So we're adding the rail service. On the other hand, the county is also involved in an initiative to take the former Chicago Northwestern, now known as Union Pacific rails that used to run through Sheboygan County. Those dormant rail lines are in the process of being converted into walking and bike trails. That's going from approximately Penn Avenue in Sheboygan, Penn and 13th Street, something like that, almost up to North Avenue in Sheboygan. We're working on making that a trail. So that requires acquisition, that requires looking at documents about easements, restrictions on how that trail would be used. All that stuff requires some legal documents that I have to review and make sure that the county's interests are protected. Another thing comes to mind, the shoreland and zoning ordinance, so you've been working on that? Yeah, that was a big project. I think I've just about completed my piece of it. The state has required each county to update and make changes to their shoreland zoning ordinances. And off the top of my head, I'm saying this wrong, but the county doesn't have general across the board zoning. Each township, each village, and each city has its own zoning, but overlapping at least within the unincorporated areas of the county where there's shorelines, wetlands. There is an area of zoning that the county supersedes or at least works along with municipalities unincorporated towns to handle activity within their shoreland zones. And I'm gonna say 17% of the unincorporated areas part of the shoreland zone of one kind or another that the county has jurisdiction on. We've had to update and overhaul our ordinances dealing with that. I've just reworked it to send it and it's being sent back to the planning department to make sure we're getting it right. And that'll be rolled out to the county board within the next month or two. Being, having served on HR, we get a printout on how much time you work on each department and certain things, but what's the most time consuming and challenging thing you've had in your time? Oh boy, that's hard to say because each year has new challenges, new opportunities. We spent an awful lot of time with the Sunny Ridge sales. We've spent an awful lot of time with the 800 megahertz conversion with the sheriff's department. Don't even ask me what that means, just I can tell you that the sheriff's department has been part of a conversion process of the bandwidth. That's not exactly the most exciting stuff in the world, but that's the type of behind the scenes activity that I work on on a day-to-day basis. Those have been some challenging ones. Just for example, yesterday and today I've spent the lion's share of my time dealing with the fact that our County Health and Human Services Department did an investigation of a foster home and concluded that the foster home parents were not adequately providing supervision for their children and they've made a finding that we should no longer place people in that foster home. The family gets to appeal that, so I've been going through and making sure that the appeal process is being properly prepared and that the Health and Human Service Department is properly represented in that appeal process. That's the type of stuff that doesn't make it to the front page, but it's the type of stuff that on a day-to-day basis we have to look at to make sure that the County is properly functioning for the benefit of the taxpayers. Thank you, Carl. Nice overview and hopefully folks are getting just a little appreciation for how incredibly important the corporation council's roles and responsibilities are. One of the things, of course, we share in common is that most department heads or departments are focusing on one particular area, whether it's the Sheriff's Department or Health and Human Services or Planning or the airport, you name it. Carl and I have the pleasure of working with all 20 departments and helping with initiatives, helping problem solve, and of course, in Carl's situation, making sure that legally we're doing things appropriately and so often behind the scenes Carl's involved with making sure things get done right. So when the County Board makes those decisions, all the documentations in place, all the due diligence has been done, and we're proceeding accordingly. And that makes me think a little bit about County Board meetings. Carl, I imagine from time to time people pick up the paper or here on the radio, well, the County Board just passed this ordinance or the County Board just passed this resolution. And I think a number of people might be wondering, well, what's the difference? What is the difference between an ordinance and resolution? Could you share that, please? The legislature has given the County Board the power, the authority, the responsibility and the obligation in some instances to enact various rules and regulations. And when the County Board enacts those rules and regulations, those are ordinances. So a speed limit on County Trunk A is, or a County Trunk D is an ordinance that the County Board enacts and if you violate the ordinance, it could subject you to a penalty. The County Board passes ordinances dealing with the internal structure and operations of the County Government. Those are reduced to ordinances because they are structural. On the other hand, if the County Board agrees to apply for a certain grant, that's sort of a one-shot deal and the County Board expresses its authorization through the passing of a resolution approving this grant application or a resolution approving a contract to continue. Things that are more of a one-shot deal as opposed to a structural deal or as opposed to a long-term regulation are done in the form of a resolution rather than an ordinance. Very good. So an ordinance, a law, a structural, a resolution, a policy action. Or a one-shot recital of authority or approval of a certain activity or policy by the County Board. Of course, the County Board meets once a month and the meetings last generally an hour or so. We have nine standing committees that meet as much as two times a month. And Carl is frequently called upon to be at particular committee meetings to respond to questions or concerns or follow up on something that they have a question on. At a County Board meeting, if a legal question comes up or Robert's Rules of Orders isn't followed appropriately, Carl provides assistance with that. So again, hands on throughout the organization and we're proud of our track record in Sheboygan County. Chairman Mike Van Der Stien certainly had a very successful tenure. We expect Chairman Roger Distruty to have the same. Roger's been the chair of our finance committee for the last four years. And as certainly the three of us are aware, Sheboygan County is the only county that's reduced property taxes for the last five years. We've been striving to be part of the solution as the economy turned and folks were hurting. We have been part of that solution. There's been a number of areas where we've consolidated or reduced. But back to the state question for you Carl, just to share your perspective a little bit. As you know, we were holding the line of reducing property taxes before cap was put in place. Now we have a very rigid cap where really very little property tax levy can be increased. And we've already done a lot to tighten our belt and streamline. There's always room for improvement. But what's your observation been of county government the last nearly decade that you've been in front of the county board chambers listening to the dialogue and hearing the debate and seeing the changes over the years? How do you see that relationship with between the county and the state? What do you think is working? Where do you think we're gonna need some room for improvement? Well, I guess I would say that over the last 10, 11, 12 years where I've been involved in the process and I'm not patting myself on the back because I'm not attributing it to me. But I see overall over the last 10, 12 years a real improvement in the quality of the operation. Some of it is driven by necessity as budgets are tightened. You have to make do better, more efficient with what you've got. The county went to the administrator process under your leadership, Adam. There's been a lot more accountability, a lot more oversight than part-time county board could otherwise do. So I see a lot more professionalism. I see a lot more innovation, a lot more willingness to look internally to see what improvements can be made. As you mentioned, I along with you deal with all departments. I see more efforts of collaboration between departments where somebody says, well, gee, I know that the county surveyor can work on that. So let's call up the highway department and see whether or not we can get the surveyor on board with this and the surveyor will do something for the building services or something like that. I see much more collaboration. I see much more creativity, creativity in some instances driven by necessity. I see many more efforts to improve accountability. I spent part of this morning working on chasing down a delinquent account for Rocky Noel, our nursing home. The department heads, the departments are trying to be more critical with the dollars that they're responsible for and be more accountable to make sure collections are done. So I just see a lot more efforts to improve our activities. Having said that, at some point we may say, we're almost about as good as we can do. And if we don't find another resource, whether it's raising taxes or I don't think there's too much more belt tightening we can do, so that'll provide some challenges. Yeah, yeah. And of course we've taken those challenges on in the past and we'll continue to take them on in the future. And if you didn't get a good feel for the corporation, councils, roles and responsibilities today, I hope that you'll follow up with Carl, his law firm continues to do excellent work for us. And Carl, I wanna thank you today for your overview and your comments. As you know, every month we try to bring a different department to you and with 20 departments we can't bring everyone in every year. But next month we're gonna have a new airport manager actually and airport superintendent with us. Speaking of consolidations, we're in the midst of consolidating our airport and highway department into a transportation department. Again, another cost saving move to tighten our belts a little bit, gain some efficiencies. And our new airport manager is gonna be here again next month to talk about his roles and responsibilities and so you can see him for yourself. So until then, again, thank you for joining us today and we'll see you next month.


Hello, my name is Dimitri Peroulis. I'm the Michael and Catherine Burke head of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I'm also the Riley Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. And I'm here in the recently renovated atrium of the MSW building. It has been renovated due to the wonderful generosity of Max and Mailin Brown. When I first came to Purdue about 16 years ago, this space was basically a space for everybody to just walk in from one end of the building to the other. Now this recent renovation has made it a fantastic center for all of our students to come together, talk about what they're facing, mingle and it allows teams of students to work together. The entire philosophy of the space is to be open, visible, collaborative and allows people to inspire one another, motivate one another and at the end of the day make their thoughts a reality. I'm now in our newly created space, the Bill and Shirley Rice Design Studio, still in the MSW building. This is an amazing new space that we built for our students. This is a space that we wanted to build so our students learn how to collaborate in teams, how to learn together, how to think together and how to have impact together. We think this is very critical for our students to be able to be effective and honestly have fun. We're hoping that this space will result in students that are risk takers, that are impactful in their boat. This space really became possible due to the generosity of Bill and Shirley Rice. We're amazingly thankful to our donors and I think when they see this space they will feel that they have a big impact for our students today and our students in the future. So rethinking our space for our students is one of the initiatives that we have recently undertaken. Another one I'm really excited about is the initiative about online learning. We're actually innovating in several areas. We're innovative by building virtual labs, by rethinking the personalized learning approach, personalized assessment, by collaborating with industry to create digital badges, micro-credentials and by making the degrees through the online delivery mode much more affordable than in the past. Through our new partnership with edX and Kaplan Higher Education we're now offering the same degree but at almost half the price of what we used to offer before. And it is the same degree that you would get even if you were to come on our campus taught by the same faculty, going through the same classes, using the same assessments and having the same learning outcomes and the same learning benefits. It's a very exciting initiative and I think we're going to benefit a lot of students in West Lafayette and around the world.


Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, what is up guys, welcome to my McFarlane Wave 6 FNAF set review. So jumping straight to the chase, as you can see, I have almost all of the Wave 6 FNAF McFarlane sets. I'm only missing FNAF 6 Pizza Sim Show stage with Rockstar Freddy, Rockstar Bonnie and Rockstar Chica. Alas, me hearty. No Rockstar Foxy. So we're just going to have to put up with these five and let's not waste any more time and let's hop right into their review. Now I did actually livestream building these on my Twitch channel, twitch.tv forward slash JohnnyBloxboys if you want to go check it out, we just surpassed a hundred followers. Or if you don't feel like going off of YouTube, I have a second channel, JohnnyBloxLive, where I upload all of my Twitch vods. So if you want to go watch it, it's also on YouTube. So as you can see, the five I have are Repair Freddy from Help Wanted, we have Lefty's Show stage, I believe it's the Star Curtain stage, if I remember correctly, from FNAF 6. We have Mangle Vent Repair from Help Wanted, we have the Salvage Room with Molten Freddy from FNAF 6, and I have Grim Foxy from Help Wanted as well. So let's take it, set by set, starting off with, let's start off with Lefty. There you go, bigger girl home in my right gamer, so as you can see from this just 10 out of 10 camera angle of my desk, this is Lefty's Star Curtain stage. And honestly, it doesn't look half bad. My main problem with it is the Star Curtains themselves, because they are just straight up paper that you fold together. Sometimes they can be very annoying if you want to open them fully, they just, they want to close back up, you know, they don't want to show off Lefty, which is the main show. The Lefty figure itself is actually really, really good. My favorite thing about McFallen is just the attention to detail that the people have over there, and of course it doesn't want to focus, god dang it camera. The detail on these guys is always incredible, and it's one of the main reasons why I just absolutely love McFallen. Look, you can take off his head, and it's his endoskeleton, like, come on, that's amazing. Now I don't want to spend too much time on just one set, because we have four others to go through, but it's just this, this set is really good, and my only problem with it again is the Curtains. They can be very annoying at points, but other than that, it's a really nice set. Now the large sets, such as Lefty and Vent Repair Mangle, I believe are $15, and then the smaller ones, like Molten Freddy, who we will get to next, is I believe $10, and the Deluxe Show Stage from FNAF 6, I do not remember the price for it, because I didn't see it. So as I just said, next up is Molten Freddy and the Salvage Room. Now, my main problem with this set, and it basically ruins the entirety of it, is the desk itself.  Look at this. They really couldn't get it even to the bottom of the desk. What is this? This is awful. I want a refund. Actually getting serious, again, the attention to detail is pretty good, especially on the cassette. It looks very, very nice. Molten Freddy, of course, is sat in a little chair right here, and the figure itself is, again, very nice. And I know a lot of people are upset that it's not a giant pile of wires, but honestly, I don't really mind a whole lot. The detail on the head and body are really enough. And while I do wish that it was a giant pile of wires, I don't know. I feel like that would have been difficult to put in a chair, and I don't know. Maybe it just, I don't know. Honestly, I really don't mind this figure. I know a lot of people are upset, but truly, I don't care. So moving on to a similar set, we have Repair Freddy from Help Wanted. Now, this one, honestly, may be the most underwhelming one here. Not saying that it's bad by any means. In fact, it has a very cool feature if you take off Freddy's head and his stomach. Look at that. It has a screenshot from the game of his endoskeleton. I mean, how cool is that?  In fact, you don't need the stomach for this set at all. You can just have it off, and it looks so good still. Of course, there's a chair, which I'm pretty sure Freddy does not sit in a chair in the minigame, but who cares. And then the toolbox is nothing to write home about. It's just, I mean, it's just a toolbox. Next up, we have Grim Foxy from Help Wanted. Now, this one, it's gotta be one of my favorites. And if you watched my stream, you'll know that I was a little bit disappointed that these are just paper that you have to bend to make stand. But I don't know. Again, the attention to detail is so goddamn good, MacFarlane. You're incredible. The Grim Plus trap. Look at how cute he is. Oh, it's so good. And the model of Grim Foxy. Oh my god, have you seen it? Detail is incredible. The eye socket is hollowed out. He's glowing.  He has a bright orange piece for a body, but he's just, look at the detail on the stomach and on the face. Oh, it's so, it's so good. It has to be one of my favorites. And the set itself is so simple, yet with everything else, right? The cardboard cutouts, now paper cutouts and the model. It just, man, it brings it all together and it just, it looks so dang good. And I'm so happy that I have it. Because as you guys know, Corn Maze is one of my favorite minigames in Help Wanted. So I'm so glad that they made it into a set because fricking this dude is so dang awesome and I just love this set. Even if these are paper that you have to bend, I wish, I wish that this was still paper, maybe even a sticker. I would have been fine with a sticker. And you put it in like pieces that prop it up, but I don't know, really. I don't care a whole lot now that I have it. I think it looks still pretty good. And last but not least, we have Vent Repair Manga, which I was very surprised to find out is actually 3D.  Taking a look at the set itself, it is, again, very, very detailed. There's at least two or three stickers on here, as you can see in the vent itself is a sticker. And then you also have the Squidward looking guy up here. And you have the buttons to let you know if you have a perfect 72 degrees. I don't think that this is a sticker, but you also have, if it'll focus on it, you also have the vent down at the bottom. You have a switch here, and you also have the skip dialogue button here, which the fact that they included this, it just, it shows the amount of detail that they put into the sets. And then you got Mangle. Now I've heard that this model of Mangle, this mold, is slightly different to the old mold, and I actually do have one, so I guess we can compare. Okay, so this is the old one, and this is the new one. I mean, I guess it looks slightly different, not by a whole lot. Just little perfections here and there. Again, old, new. If it is new, I really can't tell too many differences. I don't know if people are just saying it looks different, but I don't know. Doesn't look too different, and that is all. But one, alas, again, I'm missing the deluxe concert stage from Fnatic's. But that is the majority, again, 5 out of 6, of the Wave 6 McFallen FNAF sets. Overall, a great wave. Now, I only have three other McFallen sets. Besides these, I have the Private Room, the Game Area, and also the, oh god, what's it called, like the central control module from Sister Location. And I don't know what people think of McFallen, but I really, really like the sets that they make. Again, the detail that they put into them is just incredible. And, again, it's just fricking, it's fricking great. I love them so much. I remember they released a early copy of the FNAF 1 Show Stage set, and they got so much criticism for it, and then they fixed it. So you can tell that they actually do care about the detail that they put into the sets, which I appreciate that so much, which is very, very poggers. So that's it. I'll be covering this baby soon if that video is not already out yet. So, like, comment, subscribe, and I'll see you all in the next video. Bye-bye! Gregory, be still. I think she's found us.


SCP-532 is a pathogenic bacteria, most similar in composition to Pseudomonas orisohabitans. SCP-532 is coated in a chemical that reacts with the lipids of an exothermic organism's cell membranes. This simultaneously kills nearby tissue and provides a suitable temperature for SCP-532 to reproduce. SCP-532 shows a tendency to break down and ingest the dermis and will not enter the body until the surrounding dermis has been covered. SCP-532 will then enter the bloodstream, causing major damage to the circulatory system due to the freezing and subsequent crystallization of water molecules.
