Good day everybody. This is Dr. Sanjay Sanyal, Professor, Department Chair. I'm going to give you a demonstration of the full articulated vertical column. So what I'm holding in front of me, this is the articulated vertical column. And you can see this is the base of the skull here. This is the occipital bone. And we can see that it's articulating with atlas up here and below that is the axis. Then you have the cervical vertebrae. And if you were to look behind, we can see that this is the cervical vertebrae here. This is the vertebra prominence. And then we have the thoracic vertebrae. And below that, we have the number vertebrae. And finally, we have the sacrum here. So this is the full vertebral column. The reason why I'm holding it up in the lateral view is to show you the vertebral column has got certain curvatures. These are being divided into what are known as the primary curvatures and secondary curvatures. The primary curvatures are those which mimic the fetal curvature when the fetus was inside the mother's womb. Therefore, the primary curvature is the thoracic. It's a normal thoracic kyphosis. And the second normal primary curvature is the sacrum. It is already curved forward. So these two maintain the fetal curvature. In contrast, we have two secondary curvatures. Number one is the cervical curvature, which is in the direction opposite to that of the fetal curvature. This is because at the third month of age, the child tries to raise the head up. And therefore, this cervical spine bends in the opposite direction. And the next one is the lumbar curvature, which also we can see is a normal lumbar lordosis. This is at the sixth month of age when the child tries to sit up. And therefore, the lumbar spine gets bent in the opposite direction. So these are the two primary and the two secondary curvatures. Now let's take a look at some abnormalities that we can see here. One of the abnormalities is abnormal thoracic kyphosis. The thoracic spine gets abnormally curved forward. And that is sometimes associated with something called hunchback, which I shall tell you just a little later. And that can reduce restrictive lung disease. This is a lateral x-ray to show extreme thoracic kyphosis caused by excessive osteoporosis of thoracic vertebrae. The other one is abnormal lumbar lordosis. The lumbar spine gets bent excessively backwards. You see this lumbar lordosis and the thoracic kyphosis. Normally, they are slightly curved. They are called normal. But when it becomes excessive, then it's called abnormal. The normal lordosis maintained by the muscle here, which is the soleus major. So therefore, this is the one which maintains the normal lumbar lordosis and indirectly maintains the thoracic kyphosis. On the other hand, the muscle in front of the abdomen that is rectus abdominis is considered as an anti-lordotic muscle. When the muscle balance between these are lost between the abdominal and wall muscles and the back muscles, then we tend lordosis. Another example of lordosis is when people wear very high heels, then automatically there is a tendency to fall forward. And so therefore, the back muscles tend to have to contract excessively and the curvature of the lumbar spine becomes excessive to compensate for the tendency to fall forward. And therefore, they develop lumbar lordosis. During pregnancy also, because of the excess weight in the front, the tendency for the person to lean back. And therefore, that is also called the lordosis of pregnancy. While we're on this topic, I would like to draw your attention to a few other points. Take a look at the lumbosacral joint here. This is the lumbosacral joint. The superior surface of the sacrum normally makes an angle with the horizontal, which is approximately about 30 degrees. But when there is an abnormal lumbar lordosis, then this angle, which is referred to as a sacral horizontal angle or SHA, it becomes more than 50 degrees because of the excessive lordosis, the horizontal surface and the surface of the sacrum, they make an angle more than 50 degrees. Therefore, SHA becomes high in lumbar lordosis. Apart from that, we can get something called lateral curvature. That tends to generally occur in the thoracic spine. That is called scoliosis. This is a very complicated abnormality. This is not just associated with lateral curvature, but it can be associated with the rotation of the thoracic vertebra itself. And the thoracic vertebra, as we know, give attachment to ribs. When the thoracic spine gets curved on the convex side, the posterior ribs on the convex side of the curvature, suppose the thoracic spine is curved like this. On the convex side, the posterior ribs jut backwards posteriorly. And the concave side, the anterior ribs jut anteriorly. Therefore, when you ask the patient to touch bent down and touch his or her toes, because of the posterior ribs jutting backwards posteriorly on the convex side, they produce an elevation on the back of the chest. And that is called a rib hump. So that can sometimes not be seen when the person is standing straight. But when the person bends down, then it becomes obvious that is the rib hump. This is an x-ray of the thoracolumbar spine to show thoracolumbar scoliosis. This is an x-ray of the thoracolumbar scoliosis before surgery and the result after surgery. Note the increase in height. This thoracic kyphosis may be associated with scoliosis. Then it's called kyphoscoleosis. And then it can produce what is known as restrictive lung disease. One of the conditions and not some of this is a condition known as Friedrich etaxia. That is associated with kyphoscoleosis. And the final point which I want to mention was that in the thoracic region, as we know, there is very little or no movement. There is only a very small nominal movement and that is a rotatory movement through an imaginary axis going through the middle of the vertebral bodies. A small movement is achieved by a small group of muscles of the transversal spinal cord in the back. And one of that muscle is referred as a rotator's muscle. It starts from the transverse process of one vertebra and gets attached to the spinal process of the vertebra above. These slips of muscle called the rotators, they are the ones which are more prominent in the thoracic region and they are responsible for the slight rotatory movement, a very slight rotatory movement in the thoracic vertebra. These are some of the points which I wanted to mention to you about the vertebral collar as a whole and the curvatures and a few other associated points. Thank you very much for watching.

Mae'n ddweud... So, I've merged the work of WALD into the OpenStackDB Animage script, though the result hasn't been tested and as I had no Azure credential, I couldn't do the tests. Credentials? You guys need Azure accounts? If you want an Azure account, the easiest thing to do is I can give you what used to be called MSD in subscription. And that is, it's now called Visual Studio. It doesn't really matter. It comes with like $150 of Azure time that's recycled every month and it's good for one year. So if anyone wants one of those, just let me know. Sorry, can we get back? Because first we want to talk about building images and so on, but it would also be good to talk about accounts and credentials and so on because it seems like people have. Different people have different access to different platforms and recently we had beginnings of discussions about AWS and IAM profiles, so it would be good to at least touch it. Hello. If you attended the DSA BoF, what we had proposed there was that with AWS at least and maybe the other two platforms, we could do either SAML or OIDC integration so that you could use your Debian credentials to authenticate against the platform. We had exposed LDAP groups and some group, the cloud team, whatever that is, could then be authorized to manipulate those LDAP groups and those would translate into IAM roles in AWS. So that way if we happen to deactivate an account in Debian for whatever reason they retire, they go MIA, their credentials and these other services since they're tied to Debian are also turned off. So this is possible. I've done it for work with IAM, AWS IAM. I don't know the status of Google Cloud Platform or Azure. So for the Google images, there would be no need to have any Google credentials whatsoever to build the image. There's no need for dependency on Google to build the image. It can be purely free build. For uploading the image to an account, we would probably want to create a sort of service account which is just like a non-human account basically. We can sort that out with individual accounts and for the service accounts to upload from the automated build system, it's basically a revocable OAuth kind of secret thing like that tied to some account. That's easy to solve though. So Culler is watching us, I know. So I'm going to ask him. I'm asking the question. I'm assuming that he and Noah have been working using FAI rather than continuing on with Bootstrap VZ. Is that true? Yeah. Ah, when Zach's just joined as well. So we still have the thing that bothers me slightly is that we haven't really made any progress, not just on switching over to new tooling. That's something we all agreed last year we wanted to do, but also testing our images against the very, very early set of tests that we defined last year. I would like to go back to creating the images because I think we agreed on testing FAI for image creation but not finally agreed on using FAI for image creation. So if we can make that decision now, Bastian told me that he would then directly start working on redoing the image using FAI for Asia. Okay. Sorry, I'm typing away and not talking. So Thomas kind of volunteered to me in private, but I'm going to expose him now. Sorry for stealing all your spoons. Sorry, this Thomas serpent to start working on a test suite. So well volunteered, it's now public. And now recorded and live and that's it. Absolutely. Do you have any ideas on how to go about it yet? Probably I will use some of my, I will start at least with some of my private scripts that I was using for testing my own packages on AWS. Basically I'm managing GPU related Python packages. So I have set of script that runs, installs dependencies, runs test and so on.  It needs to be polished a bit. It needs to probably be made more generic. And it uses Python apt and not apt as in common line, but I guess because behind the scenes they both use common libraries. It should be enough at least for the beginning. Any ideas or objections for this plan? I would be interested in what's currently Google or Azure testing. So what are the real important thing? I think one thing is does the image boot, but maybe we should get the input from the current cloud providers. So for Azure we test a bunch of things that we have all our test cases up on GitHub. And so there's BVTs where we test and make sure that it runs and that the image configuration is correct. And we can do more specialized testing like network performance or InfiniBand and GPU and SROV and all these things that we've added. So some of those can be abstracted, but then of course you have the logic, which is probably going to be using the CLI tools for whatever AWS uses. So they'll be like this, how to spin up an instance and how to add a nick and all these things. So you have to abstract that out into some kind of framework unless you had some idea on how to do that already. Or what we could do is a short term thing is we can open up our CLI automation for use with official Debian images, which we're building anyway and just test them. And then we can kind of go from there just to know that you have some baseline that they're at least the equivalent to what we're publishing today. And about the testing images. There's a address I did on the Gaby document pointer to a work from a French startup that does Cloud's comparison, as I do some kind of procuring. And it did some work on comparing Debian images on BIOS providers. So that's more focused on identifying the differences between providers, but that could be relevant to your work. All right. And with regard to Google, I of course won't speak for my former colleagues, but they can speak themselves, at least one of them is on IRC right now. I'll give a quick summary of, so they do run a test suite. The actual infrastructure is too tied into their internal systems, but they can probably release, I'm guessing, some descriptions of test cases that we might want to apply. And they do test a lot. They SSH and check various settings, performance settings, making sure that their integration works nicely. They test a lot of things, yeah. Well, from what I remember from the Debian Cloud sprint and what I also see from the notes we've taken there, we already agreed on test the cloud images on 20 items that are there, and the test framework is also, I think, something like eight items or so. So for OpenStack, all the test suite is in Debian, and the script to set it up is in Debian as well. The thing that I would need for it to be run is some hardware. So I already asked for such a thing to the DSA, but received no reply to my mail. But I could set that up. For those who are not looking at IRC, Zach from Google just said, we test platform integration. Number one, any and all metadata interaction. Number two, image configuration is correct. Number three, and new infrastructure changes that may not be released yet. We have some plan to externalize all of this, but it's not quite there yet. That's what he just said. I have a question to Zach. Are there any plans when they like to move to the new tool chain? Maybe you can ask him on IRC. He is watching a live stream. He can hear that. We can't hear him. The internet is one way. I think the main thing is when do we as Debian collectively move to it, and when do we know that it works to produce bootable images and things like that? As a side note, I tried to run some tests for my packages for compiling on different sizes of Amazon images. FAI was working. I was just building image locally, so FAI built image. On one gigabyte of RAM machine, so the second smallest one, I had some problems with MT1 or T2 nano, which is the smallest one with slightly below 500 megabytes of memory. But I don't remember details what were the problems. But still that the one gig is not much required memory. Sure. It's moving and I'm losing track. So, what are we doing next? We want to get tests running on our images, for all of the platform images. We have an idea of at least the very basic set of tests that we think should be run for sanity. Now, from the discussion last year, that was so that we would be happy to call, to at least basic QA, so we can start calling things so we can continue calling things official images. We can make sure that anything that doesn't pass those tests never gets published basically. We can continue adding more and more tests as time goes on, as we get more inspiration and we find bugs, we should be adding regression tests and all that kind of stuff. What I think could be useful, though, would be maybe at a future sprint. We actually have a bunch of people working on exactly those tests and making sure that we can run them. In terms of building things and running tests, obviously the platform providers are building their images at the moment. We're going to be building more images. We had been talking about building them all on central machines and then sharing them out. That has been an ongoing discussion that I know Noah was pushing back on. Cullw and I were continuing to push we should be building official images on our hardware, but we haven't had a real discussion about that again. What do people think? I think we should build the image. It just takes a second, yeah. I think we should build the images on debion.org hardware. Probably at the same moment where we start using FAI for that. If we commit to FAI repository, we start building more or less automatically based on what's in that repository on the debion.org machine. I think it's actually okay to build on cloud machines once we actually have reproducible builds for those images. A little bit into the future. The not-cloud-related work we've done on making the ISO image built reproducibly was surprisingly easy. It's not such a crazy idea in ten years. It could take a few weeks, maximum to a couple of people who want to do that. You can do it. Sledge, you're building the images in bite mark, right? Where is physically located and the hardware where the debion images are built? Right now, today, it is on Peterson, which is a machine in Sweden. We have a new machine, Cajulana, hosted in bite mark in the UK. That is the machine that we're migrating on to. That is a really big machine with plenty of scope for lots and lots of VMs, and lots of things to run. Does that answer your question? So, will there be some available hardware to do bare metal testing with that image in bite mark, or no? No hope for that. I don't think so. What machines do we have in bite mark? We have blades and things, don't we? A provision of blade for bare metal testing? No. So, the two-minute synopsis is that debion likes to... DSA likes to have redundant equipment, redundant partners, redundant geographies, et cetera. So, UBC and bite mark are the two primary locations for many services. UBC was refreshed last year. Bite mark is getting a little bit old in the tooth and is hurting, so it needs a major refresh. So, we're in discussion with HPE about pricing, we're in discussion with bite mark about their vendor. They use super micro white boxes about getting that equipment, but there is no capacity at bite mark really for anything particularly huge. At least no disc capacity at the moment because that storage is completely full, both IO-wise and the other discs are quite filled up. I'm not sure about the blades, if the blades are actually fully used. So, for the vagrant box, we want to do bills after that on your infrastructure. So, from what I've seen from marching, it has started work inside virtual machines. So, after we switch to FAD scheme age, we want also to do bills on your infrastructure because we want probably to expand the number of different bills we do and we have always an upload step. We're building now six different, four, three different supervisors on two different releases. We want to do continuous integration and we want to upload automatically because we upload all the bills we do from local laptops and it takes time so DSL connection is boring. So, I hope we can do that afterwards. So, could we agree today on using FAI because if we have the full agreement of the full team, then we could just go forward and start building images using FAI. We already had that last year, in fact. No, we agreed that we'd try but we did not. So, definitely the next things we should be doing in that case is actually building and testing and validating FAI for all of the platforms. That's the first thing we have to do. We fully expect it to work. There's no magic here. Zach did mention in IRC about ten minutes ago that he tried briefly, had problems with stretch images that didn't boot. He didn't have much time to debug. I'm sure between us we can solve that, you know. If we can't, we have worse problems. If we can make all that work, then absolutely that's what we should be committing to. We can move to builds on Casulana. That nice big build box that I got for doing CD builds on is about to get busy, isn't it? We can then sort out automatic publishing and all of that kind of stuff. We want to get to significantly better CI story than we have today. I think we will agree on that. That's also the question of how to organise the builds on Casulana. Is it one VM per provider, one global VM? What do we use to schedule the builds? That's quite a lot of work to do. One of those. Exactly. At the moment this is all up in the air, definitely. I'm trying to get notes down in Gobi. What do you think? Returning to the FAI, I was involved with Bootstrap VC. I tried to run FAI. I didn't have problems. As far as I remember, it was easier to start with FAI just to build than with Bootstrap VC. I haven't tried to add modules or something like this, so I don't know how complex it will be. Concerning your question, Luca, we should use just one VM for buildings. The question is can we start FAI builds in parallel? I'm not sure if it's made in that insight, because I suppose it creates... you have a hard-coded path to a dev loop device and was not made in that insight, but VMs are cheap. There's no hard-coded path to... it just uses the next loop device. But there was some locking mechanism inside FAIs that may be problematic if we want to run several FAI disk image processes on one machine. However, the VM isolation layer can be very useful here. I would suggest that we run each individual build for a single image or a single run of the build tool, even if it produces one or more images in its own temporary VM that is created and destroyed around that build. Because that way there's no detritus to care about and it's all automated and reproduced, somewhat reproducible. Absolutely, it's what we should be trying to do for all of this.  There's always other things to work on, so we have a persistent VM or a set of persistent VMs that I'm using for those builds. It's not beyond the wit of man to fix that and have generated VMs, and then we do the builds in those. It's just a matter of coding. The fun thing that we have at the moment for the installer images is... I'm currently building on a host in Sweden and then we're publishing them from the same rack because cdm is.debian.org, which is the same as get.debian.org and whatever currently points to storage hosted very happily by the folks at the University of Remair. As we move over to building on Casulana, that's a much, much bigger, much, much faster machine, but we shouldn't be looking to publish directly from that machine. We'll have to then deal with syncing them over back over to Sweden. Frankly, we have very fast networking in between them. It shouldn't be an issue, but be aware there will be a non-negligible amount of time needed for that. We've been talking already in the past about actually having some words failing English it's gone, about having more than one site for publishing so we can actually have some redundancy. That might be something we do in the future. I'm bringing it up now and I don't know why. But we may end up syncing images across to multiple different sites as well as obviously up into the platform providers as well for those guys to use. I have a question. The infrastructure to create and boot the VMs where we then want to run five disk image inside. Is there something that you are already using for the CD images that we then enhance or will this be a complete new script? It's a trivial homegrown thing that I wrote on Patterson which just runs an existing persistent VM. If we want something that will generate on demand and run in a temporary one, ignore that and start again, it will be easier. So this infrastructure has also been written for... Sure. If a grant could be a starting point, but I think it's important to focus on something that can be run outside Casulana as well we might want to be doing CI build at some point and we might not be willing to do that. Exactly. The nice thing about having something that generates a VM that runs things in it is we can run that on your laptop just as easily as we can on a central machine. Obviously we'll want to be running production on a central machine but if we can get the tooling end-to-end to do the right thing it's more flexible, it's more useful. We don't want to be tied to that central machine for initial development. For the VMs you're using KVM? One idea would be to use FAI to create the virtual machines which then run FAI to create the disk images. That might be more awkward. Do you need root to generate that VM image, don't you? Yes. Explicitly something that we've done for a very long time and the reason why I'm doing live builds and the OpenStack builds in that VM in the first place is so we do not have any elevated privilege on the build machine itself. DSA are rightly very leery of us having root on those boxes especially for things running out of cron and especially because we're pulling out of Git and running it we don't really want that to be running on the bare hardware. Zach raised a question on IRC that relates to something we discussed at the sprint last year. Any thought to the fast moving package problem we discussed during the sprint where cloud software needs to be updated at faster rates than traditional Debian packages do? For example having an edge repository for cloud or something like that, not necessarily changing what's in stable. I talked to Adam two days ago and because we want to update Vala in stable because Microsoft recently published Azure Stack which is essentially new hardware for Azure and I agreed with Adam that I'm going to upload the new Linux Azure agent to stable in the next days. Maybe the answer is some clarification or tweak to the policy as it applies to this type of thing. He still wanted to review. Fundamentally, yes. I spoke to Adam and the rest and other guys on the release team after the sprint last year like I promised. Of course they're open to things going into stable updates or however we want so long as they're same. No one is about to give us a catch-all, a wild card to say, of course if it's a cloud stuff, a cloud thing you can have it, we'll need to convince them. I agree that Google's current distribution mechanism might not be ideal for that but if the policy were welcoming of a slightly retooled distribution mechanism maybe that would be incentive to them or better deliverable that we could more happily ship. The question is, does this also apply to the tool change? I think I will make some little changes to FAI which are not then in stable and I think currently the cloud image config on GitHub is not yet an official Debian package. I don't think we have a problem with having services usually run their own software stack so we just have that somewhere on the disk so you could easily have your new version of FAI image created on SRV. We end up running out of Git typically for quite a lot of the package, but in that CD building set up, the live image building set up and whatever because these are fast moving things and obviously they go in the archive too. We might not be running exactly the same version as in the archive on any given day. As I said, the cloud image config space I think it's on alias but not a Debian package currently so that should be also be done. I hope people are keeping track of this as well. I have a question. Do we have any plans on docker images? That would be nice. FAI, as far as I remember, the docker images are built from two Debian developers but we never get in touch with them. It's Tiago and I don't remember the name of the other one. Could we agree when we do the next cloud meeting which will maybe happen mid or end of October that we explicitly try to invite one or both of them? That is exactly what I was going to say. Did anybody else or did anybody actually so we go to the cloud image session yesterday? I remember we had discussions about cloud image quite a lot last year as a tool that we all depend on and there was talk about forking and working and getting a load of patches integrated. The guy presenting yesterday, of course, is the upstream maintainer in Canonical. Can anybody give us an update on the status there? The one thing that I heard of, he talked a lot about cloud config, so another config management thing, there was not that much about cloud in itself, more about cloud config. My opinion is, if it's currently working for us, we can use it, but if there are major problems, I think most of this are, maybe all of the things that are done inside there can also be done with shell script. They can, yes. Just leave it as it is now. We do not have problems currently. I know Wolde was already doing some work even at the sprint last year on cloud in it. Do you know where he got to? I've been the only person touching that package since. It's been six months, like I did a few QI uploads. Where are things up to? Are we in sync with the Ubuntu folks? No, it's an old version. We need to upgrade to whatever is the latest upstream. Do we want to follow them as upstream still? I personally just do the things that I think are relevant for my use case. I don't care about the latest upstream for cloud in it. If somebody does, then it can contribute to it, to the package. As far as I understood yesterday's presentation, and as far as I remember our discussion, our most nagging issue with cloud in it was that it was stale and it was not updated. It looks like they started updating since our sprint they had two releases. They promised to have another one by the end of the year. Possibly there is something changing, but we will need to see and we will need to see how much it is in accordance with our needs. Are they taking the patches that we thought we were talking about that were wanted? No idea yet. So we need to check on that. On the other hand, I forgot his name. He was showing that they are working on decreasing number of handling pull requests. So they might be accepting some of new features. There is a cloud in it sprint at the end of August. Is anyone going to that? That is the first I heard of. From the Azure perspective, we want cloud in it in all the images, but we couldn't get it working in batching through up his hands. We couldn't get it working in time for stretch. That is something we definitely want. I think part of it is the patches and getting the packages updated and getting support from probably canonical. If they have a sprint, definitely, who wants to volunteer to go? We should definitely get people involved if there are changes that we are going. I think there are folks from different distributions. Probably somebody in Devian is going. It was a small thing. It is actually hosted at Google, I think. I wasn't sure if it was announced or not. Do you know where? At Google? In Seattle? In Seattle, okay. Is that just mentioned? He said who to talk to to attend, I think. Isaac. That would be interesting, but definitely we want to bring that up. It is something Microsoft wants to bring up because better cross distro support is not something that canonical has been great at. They are really scratching their own itch. We understand that, but we definitely need them to do more work in that area. Right. We were down to about two minutes left on the session. I can feel the video team glaring it on the back of my neck right now. I have a question about Cloud in it. The packaging is currently using Git DPM, which I hate, but it's there. Would you mind if I was switching to GPPQ? Any opposition? Anybody care? Okay. No, fine. Plans, last thing. We had a really successful sprint last year, hosted by folks at Google. Steve and the Azure team at Microsoft would love to host us for a repeat this year. We briefly talked about dates and we were thinking, and I've forgotten the dates on what he was at 16th to 18th of October. These dates are not yet set in stone, I assume. That seems to be the best time for those of us who expressed a preference at least. That seems to work. Tentatively, 16th to 18th of October. That's a Monday to Wednesday at the Azure offices in Redmond. Absolutely. We can get people involved as well. Also, one thing we talked about during the sprint we had last year was the thing that we want to have an image locator. Martin Barrens, thankfully, started doing work on that two days ago and showed me a prototype yesterday already, which looked quite nice. Hopefully, we will have something to locate the images, including CD images, if that's okay, Steve. I'll let you write something about that in the goby. I've just been writing about the sprint. Fine. Now we have one minute, so go for that. Do we have anything else that we should talk about right here, right now? As I always do, I will write up the notes. I will go through the video of what we have here and send a summary to the list. So, especially those people who couldn't be here today, have a chance of at least seeing what we've been talking about. Please argue with me if you think I've mischaracterised or misunderstood anything that I send in that mail, and we will start planning for the sprint. Clearly, there's plenty of other things here that we can and should be working on as well before we get there. Don't wait for the sprint before doing work, but I would love it if at that sprint we can spend more time this year actually working on these things rather than we had a really productive four days of discussion last year. More time working on it and doing the plans will be even better. Those discussions were needed. Absolutely, they were needed, yes. Implementation is good, too. Thank you, everybody. I hope that was productive. Bye.


what his livelihood is based on because it is whining adult adult not a child an adult professional journalist who gets paid to make provocative political statements online you're gonna say oh you poor little boy we'll help you out and we'll get rid of this mean guy who's been so who's been taunting you on the playground like we're in middle school it's just pathetic and it does get me a little riled up harassment harassment is a malleable concept okay this guy was claiming he's being harassed or being gay okay maybe so maybe he's being mocked on the grounds of being gay get over it I'm sorry so that was an absolutely horrible take it's not surprising because Michael Tracy is a bad take machine but here is another very bad take that's where it's like okay what is he doing is he's kind of mocking him right and he's mocking him by saying he's queer but he says he's queer yeah but that's like saying I mean listen just because the N word is in rap songs doesn't mean that that it's defined to go but the N word is not in like it's not like the LBGTN you know what I'm saying it's not like a part of their I think the principle though is you're suggesting that because a certain word is sometimes used self-referentially by members of a group that any use of it from the outside is by definition not problematic and I'm just saying it's more complicated you do have to look at specifics I'm going from memory but wasn't Steven Crowder also wearing a shirt that said fags with the A with an asterisk it said socialism is for figs while he's calling a gay guy the A is a fig instead of an I as he's calling a gay guy a queer in Mexico I have seen other takes where they said Carlos is a pussy he just needs to grow a pair and stop being so sensitive I mean, is it really that easy though do you really think it's that easy because he got doxxed so it's like you can't just turn off Twitter or turn off YouTube and then walk away he was text to his personal phone so this bleeds into your real life and the harassment from Steven Crowder became so prevalent that it started to bleed into Carlos Mazos personal life which is why he felt compelled to take action so if you're blaming Carlos here and saying he needs to get over it and saying that he's being too emotional here I need you to understand you are minimizing homophobia you're giving Steven Crowder a pass for being openly bigoted and you're essentially victim blaming again, if you disagree with him on deplatforming disagree with him on deplatforming disagree on that basis but to try to minimize the suffering and harassment of someone that's fucked up and if you did that then I hope you really reflect on how this affects the LGBTQ community and not just Carlos Mazos how a young person will see the response and realize and it's difficult if you're not gay but gay people they are a target on YouTube and it's not just gay people it's especially trans people trans people of color in particular it is minority people women on YouTube they are targeted they're targeted and some people I posed this hypothetical I said well look you're a fan of me maybe you don't like Carlos Mazos and the response that I saw was yeah but Mike Carlos kind of asks for this he makes himself a target because he has gay wonk in his name he calls himself a queer and you know he's just overly flamboyant you Mike you don't get to deal with you don't have to deal with that because you're not talking about your sexuality every five minutes right you're not acting overly gay you're not going out of your way to be effeminate and I need you to realize that that is incredibly incredibly harmful to members of the LGBTQ community incredibly harmful what a lot of gay people do I'm assuming I certainly in this way as well is we mute the most stereotypical aspects of our personalities while we're on camera in order to shield ourselves from criticism in order to accommodate more heteronormative feelings of people not necessarily heteronormative in the sense that if you break that social norm of not being straight and not acting straight and living up to what a man should be and acting masculine and expressing himself in a masculine way you're going to be a target you're going to be called a lispy queer so for anyone to suggest that Carlos Mazza is being you know a little baby about this or that you know he's asking for it he's making himself a target and how problematic that is he's making himself a target oh but he's acting gay Mike and you don't act that gay so you're cool you hide your gayness enough to where I don't feel inclined to make fun of you so it's cool but him it's a little bit too much I mean you need to realize that that's harmful and the message that you are sending to people who are young and they see this LGBTQ youth it's really harmful and they're especially vulnerable anyone who's gay can talk about certainly millennials right the newer generation I hope that it's better for them but when I was very young whenever I would see this type of gay bashing and whatnot and people saying fag and using queer in a derogatory way it really made me feel like I hated myself right and this was before I even came out but certainly it made me repress those feelings even more and you just have to understand that there's no such thing as someone who acts gay or acts straight we are what we are and another argument is well look gay people you know they call themselves queers so why does that matter well I'll tell you why that matters you know and why it's different than when someone like Steven Crowder says it so if a gay person or a straight ally says queer and they're referring to us as a descriptor I understand that there's no daggers in that word there's no negative connotations they're not using the word queer to belittle me but Steven Crowder does not like gay people he is pushing for our rights to be taken away and for us to not have further rights he believes that a business owner who bakes cakes for example should be able to deny the same service to gays that he offers to straights so he actually is bigoted so when he uses the word queer he's not saying it in a loving way he's not saying it as a descriptor he's saying it to basically say fuck you you're a queer there's more negative connotations to it and he says oh it's just playful ribbing but it's not playful ribbing there actually is reason to be offended by that because he actually doesn't like gay people and trans people like you've got to understand this type of shit it really does affect gay people and harm the community after this week what I've seen because people are really worried about the prospect of demonetization or the creators that they love getting demonetized the sense that I got was oh just shut the fuck up Carlos don't ruin it for all of us can we not disaggregate different areas of agreement and disagreement can you not be sympathetic towards Carlos being harassed for two years we can do better we can all do better we can we can do everything in our power to protect vulnerable communities from bigots like Steven Crowder and when it comes to YouTube again I don't know what the right answer is I think demonetization is certainly fine I'm okay with that I'm not gonna shed a tear for him when leftist YouTubers are being demonetized all the time he's not a victim the oppressor is pretending to be the oppressed when that's not the case so I don't know what else to say about this let me go over my notes yeah my thoughts are scattered on this because this is a really complex topic but maybe you know I don't know I don't know what else to say I just thought that you know the left would be a little bit better at defending a gay person against a right-winger's homophobia but many people shit the bed on this and that's sad well that's all that I've got for you guys today thank you so much for tuning in if you've made it this far as usual I want to thank all of our Patreon PayPal and YouTube members for helping a show to survive and thrive you guys are absolutely amazing and thank you all so much shout out to all of our iTunes users and our listeners as well well anyways I'm done talking I will see you all next week my name is Mike Figueredo this is the Humanist Report take care everyone


I think everyone is hungry for more insights and so you know whether you're on the technology side of things or you're a business person who's looking to gain more insights to drive to drive more intelligence and you know come to those decision-making abilities it's really about you know just inserting yourself and being curious and trying to try to get more sense out of you know the the data that you are looking at.


Is this starting? Yeah, it's starting. It's different than I like the phone. No.  I'm Corbin. I'm Zach. We're together. Intimately. Forever. Today we're doing a movie review. In person. In person. Obviously, you've seen Zach and his other reviews of films we've done. Today we're reviewing Ram Leela. Rick and I have already reviewed this film. We'd like to see that review. I think we did it over a year and a half ago, if not more. So we'd like to check that out. Go check that out. They don't need to because it's a review. I mean, Zach saw it and we are here for this review. So it's mostly him reviewing and I'm just here for emotional support. So, Zach, your initial thoughts please. I liked it. It was great. It was fantastic. I like Romeo and Juliet. I was in theater in high school and so we did a lot of Romeo and Juliet. So I'm familiar with that play. There's some concerns. There is a scene where they are dancing and shooting guns. That's not safe. And I just want to, I want to know the first thing first before we talk about anything is that that's not gun safety. I don't know too much about guns. I do live in Texas. They're crazy about guns. I'm not too familiar but I know dances. This is your first big balling with guns. Correct. Yes. All your other ones. How many have you seen now? 16. 16 or so but they're all usually the more dramatic style. They're really just movies and I mean just movies.  And I love musicals and I love romance and Romeo and Juliet. So you liked it though? So I loved it.  There's a fight scene that was cool and she's at the same time. When he's like coming in and like throwing people across the room like Superman. Freaking awesome but cheesy. Yeah. The dance scenes are incredible. He's hot. She's beautiful. I agree. Everyone's attractive. That's true. You saw her in Pico. Yes. I saw her in Pico and she was great. I know she's married to the main guy. The main guy. She has more chemistry with Irfan than the other guy. I mean she has great chemistry with this guy. I saw it. It was really real but she wanted it. It was unbridled with Irfan and Pico. It wasn't a full romantic movie but she wanted to rip clothes and everything. She was okay with it. They were great. Talk about Renvier. This is your first experience with Renvier. Great bod. I worked out right afterwards. Nothing happened. Nothing changed. Still got a dead bod. He was great. He played almost kind of like what you have to come up with a name. Hater. The actor? Yeah. Shahid Kapoor. No, Shahid Kapoor. Shahid is a martyr. Shahid is his name. We used to call him Shahid as well. Give me a nickname. You always give me the nicknames. His nickname? Sure. Yes. He used to be called chocolate boy. It sounds racist here but it's not. It's a chocolate boy. He was in Hater. He went from being this guy and having that dramatic scene. But in this one it was the same thing where he was hilarious. Romeo was not that cool. I played Romeo in a few things.  This guy was cool and got all the chicks. It was just really sarcastic. It was just really cool. But then when everything switched when his brother died it was intense. It was a totally different play. I thought that was really cool. It was more of an adaption of a romantic. It was definitely more an adaption. After that happened it was not a play at all. You think it's going to be different. Maybe they won't both die at the end. Everything is great.  It was a really cool way to do a faithful adaptation. And what about her? She was great. She was so good. All the jokes aside, you could tell they were in love in real life. That chemistry was right there. They were really cute together. She was really cool too. Still sarcastic with him. A very playful right away. My favorite scene of hers was when she was confronting him in the meeting area. She was crying. I think it's after they killed her mom.  She was in a big shot. She shot the mom. She had the scene crying with Ren Vier. That was kind of the end scene. When she was taking over. That was really heartbreaking in both of them. The end scene where they have the guns at each other and they're crying. Both joking and making jokes. I guess it's what joking is. And flirting again like they did in the beginning. But that scene was just emotional. I was like, don't do it. I know Shakespeare did it. You don't do it. I'm kind of glad they did it. It was good though. My favorite was actually her mom. I was going to say that too. Everyone's hot in the film. Everyone's hot. Everyone's hot. All the characters were hot. Even her. She was adorable. I liked her performance as like a mob boss. Better than the other one I saw. The mafia with Irfan. That guy did great. It was a very Godfather-esque. But she... You know what's funny?  You're talking about the mom. Do you think his mom and this? Yeah. And then you're talking about M'Bool. M'Bool, yeah. Those two are married. What the... That guy, M'Bool. The dad. Yeah, the mafia. And then that. M'Bool and this. They're married in real life. They're Shane Kapoor's parents. She's? No. She's not that mom. She is her father. Yeah. I remember you telling me that. Yeah, she is his Shane Kapoor's dad. But they're married? They're married.  That is funny. That's hilarious. Nepotism. She... But she was like, hey, I saw what you did in M'Bool. I'm going to do it better. Yeah. She did a great job. She was actually one of my... Yeah. Honestly, they were great. They were great as lovers and as the romantic. And they looked great and they acted great. But I was like really real, like good acting and character. Yeah. She was great. Fantastic. She was phenomenal. And so were the sister moms. I really like the sister moms. What did you think about all the songs? Because you're outside of, I think you saw a Hindi medium, right? Yes. Which obviously had some songs. And it was very... It wasn't a Bollywood. It was a little bit... But you haven't seen... This one has big... Big numbers. Big musical. And I grew up loving musicals and watching musicals. And so it's basically the same thing. Yeah. A little more with their culture. But no, I loved it. Towards the end, there wasn't much anymore. And I wanted more. I wanted... I wanted them to sing while dying.  But no, I really enjoyed... I wanted to learn some of the dances. A lot of it was public thrusting. And I can do that. Well, Ranveer. Because a lot of times in big Bollywood films, the hero, which is funny enough, what they usually call leads, as opposed to leads here, they would be called the lead male and female. It's called the hero. Oh, I like that. And the heroine. Usually. If it's like big Bollywood films, they're called the hero. Which is one of the big cultural differences.  Is that what it's called? A negative role. Interesting. Like the Joker, he's played this negative role. And so it's an interesting way that they classified their characters as opposed to how Hollywood did it here. But yeah. The hero public thrusters. The director of this. His name is Sandeli Levansali. So sexy. Yeah. SLB. Oh, thank you. Yes. Yes. Never tell me that real much. He makes, and I'm sure you noticed, extremely beautiful films and shots. Oh, that's what I wanted to say too. Watching it is like, I mean, I bet it was a set, but it didn't look like it at all. And it was really well done.  The one with Ticaprio. Which was very bright and colorful and actually beautiful. Very cheesy and not that great at all. But it kind of reminded me of that, but it was more realistic and more stylized. And it was like a blend of that. It was really like the sets. Yeah. He's known for making some hyper realistic, extremely vivid colors. He has a couple of other films with, both actually starring Ranveer. He has many films, but the two that I really love are named Padma Vat. Which has Ranveer in probably his best role. Oh. In terms of he's a deep, character, he plays, it's almost a negative role really. But it's the lead in it. And then I think, yeah, Shehid Kapoor in that one as well. Okay. And Deepika is in that one. And then he does another one. And it's a big Bollywood. Yes. And it's a historical, more one. Okay. And then there's Bajira Mastani. Which I call Strahmimastanam. I think that's what I called it originally. And that has Ranveer, Deepika, Priyanka, Chopra. Oh, okay. You haven't seen anything of her yet, right? No, I haven't. Outside of stuff here. Have you seen anything of her? No, I don't. I think I just... She's a massive star. She had that movie on Netflix recently, right? Oh, The White Tiger. Yes. And I didn't see that. Yeah. She's a massive star. But yeah, he's known for these huge... She was in a Jonas Brothers music video. I'd say that. Yeah. Yeah, Sanjay Lillipansali is known for these massive films that are extremely beautiful. Yeah. And I'd watch another... I really did get into... Is this the longest film? I think this was the longest film. And the movies usually take me... Three... A little over three hours, right? It took me a week and a half. I had to go through two different emails for a free trial. But it was really good. I mean, it wasn't because it didn't take... I just had other things I had to do. I'm going to talk more about it. Sorry. That was the intermission. Yeah. So this movie just like... This video just like the movie is going to be three hours long. Yes. Did you... Was there an intermission in this? Did it say intermission? I think it said interlude. Yeah. For some, like, they actually have intermissions in the films still. That is funny. Like they used to have in Hollywood back in the day. Inter... Like plays. Yeah. And it is a giant...  I mean, with the choreographed dancing and things... Not like literally... Not really like realistic because it is stayed. And that's what takes you away. Like it's not... It's not cheesing a bad way. Yeah. It's not like... This one was more... Because his others are very historical and extremely dramatic, even though they do have a bunch of great song numbers in them. This one was a lot more just fun as opposed to the other ones, which are a lot more like dramatic throughout. Well, like... Hi there. Heather. Yeah. Heather, hey there, was... They had that number in there, the play.  And I thought that was really good, but the way they did it made sense. And it wasn't just like a random dance kind of like in this one. But this one... I mean, it was a music. Yeah. The... Like the renvier when he comes in, he's introduced on a motorcycle. Shirt. Shirt list. Yeah. Like one button and you see everything. And it's called his intro song. And then pelvic thrusting. And I want to learn that. I literally... He made girls faint with his pelvic thrusting. He did. And then he did the whole... That thing. I love... I really do love that intro. That song was really good. And then when they were dancing... Deepika and... Deepika. Yeah. They were dancing together. They had a really cool dance that was really, really good and well done. And it was funny, especially in the beginning, and then it got really serious. And you forgot you were watching like a musical. Mm-hmm. But it was very... I actually watched Nomeo and Juliet to prepare for this. That is another adaptation of Romain and Juliet. But they're gardeners. And Elton John music. We're playing Delta. He scores it. I don't know. Why? So I got an idea of Romain and Juliet before. Yeah, it's good. I don't like Romain and Juliet. I... It's funny because I do... When I would audition stuff, I would use the Romeo... Like, put software like everyone who breaks. Because it's like that. If you have an idea of what kind of character you want to play, everyone's like, oh, that's a Romeo character. The lead, the hero. Yeah, I never wanted to play him. You never wanted to do that. You wanted to be... I could be... Or Rose and Grand, Skill and Sting. Oh, yeah, you would be. Those are fun. That's... Whatever the villain is, is what I would want to be. You would be a great... I think it was Romain's friend, Mercurcio. Which was basically like his brother. Yeah, but what's a better Shakespeare adaptation? Header or this? Header. Yes, I know. It's just a joke. That's completely different. Header was made for like... Oscars. It was made for fun. Yes, and this was fun. I mean, because Header is a movie. I mean, it's a legit movie. Not that this isn't, I don't want to take it from that. It's just this one is... It's singing and dancing. Yeah, it's a lot more for entertainment. Yeah, it's a lot more than Header. That was dramatic. Yeah. That shows up at your acting chops. Yeah. It was so good. So would you be interested in watching more Renveir and Topeka? Oh, yeah, definitely. And Sanjali and Lanzali? I can watch them. Just on you. I can watch them. Especially him. Do you remember that sexy song? And it was basically... So what they do in Bollywood, instead of like sex scenes? Yeah. Oh. What you saw in the thing, it's a big song and it's sensual. Yes. Like when she had the incense all over her head. Yes, I was like... They do that instead of... Kiss. It's like... They weren't even kissing. Yeah, they don't usually do that. Yeah, that was a fun one. That was a fun song? That was a fun song. That was a good one. Hey, babe. I got to dance. I want to teach you. Well, let us know what the next film we should have. Zach Review. Yes, please. Is down below.


but the weather says no. So burpees and chin-ups it is, I think 150. What are you doing to start your day?


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says arrange the following fractions in the ascending order 2 upon 3, 3 upon 4, 4 upon 5 and 5 upon 6. Let's see the solution now. The given fractions are 2 upon 3, 3 upon 4, 4 upon 5 and 5 upon 6 and we need to arrange these fractions in ascending order. For this, first we will convert each of these fractions into an equivalent fraction with the denominator equal to the LCM of the denominators and then the given fractions with the same denominator can be compared on the basis of the numerator. So, first of all let's find out the LCM of the denominators of these fractions that is LCM of 3, 4, 5 and 6. Let's find out the LCM of 3, 4, 5 and 6. 3, 1 time is 3. 3, 2 times is 6. 2, 2 times is 4. 2, 1 time is 2. Then 2, 1 time is 2 and 5. 1 time is 5. So, the LCM of 3, 4, 5, 6 is equal to the product of these numbers that is 3 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 5 which is equal to 60. So, we have got the LCM of the denominators of the given fractions as 60. Now, we will convert each of these fractions into an equivalent fraction with denominator equal to 60. So, first let's consider the fraction 2 upon 3. Let's convert its denominator to 60 and for this we need to multiply its numerator and denominator by 20. So, this is equal to 40 upon 60. Consider the other fraction 3 upon 4. Now, to make its denominator 60, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator here by 15 and so this is equal to 45 upon 16. Now, the next fraction is 4 upon 5. To make its denominator equal to 60, we need to multiply its numerator and denominator by 12 and so this comes out to be equal to 48 upon 60. Now, the last fraction is 5 upon 6. To make its denominator equal to 60, we need to multiply its numerator and denominator by 10 and so this is equal to 50 upon 60. Now, when we have to compare the fractions with the same denominator then even with the greater numerator is greater of the two fractions. So, we have got these fractions with same denominators and from here we can compare the numerators and so we get 40 upon 60 is less than 45 upon 60 is less than 48 upon 60 is less than 50 upon 60 which means that 2 upon 3 is less than 3 upon 4 is less than 4 upon 5 is less than 5 upon 6. So, this is the ascending order of the given fractions. So, this completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution of this question.


are met. I stand by them in building towards a future that systemically dismantles all systems that perpetuate the false narrative of white supremacy, including a 30% reduction in uniformed officers, the firing of abusive officers, Joseph Coro, Corey Campbell and Jason Bellavance, reinvestment in communities of color. And again, I ask that you not pass a budget until these demands are met. I yield the rest of my time. Thank you. Thank you, Caroline. Next we have Colby Taylor, followed by Griffin Jones. Hi, can you all hear me? We can, go ahead. Okay, this is Colby Taylor. Ultimately, I am calling for the abolition of the Burlington Police Department. For now, I'm calling for the demands of the racial justice alliance be met. Reduce the police force by minimum of 30%. We are calling for this because we recognize that the police are far past the point of no return. They could not be reformed at this point. They must be replaced by organizations that were not created to kidnap slaves who ran away, but that were created with the deep belief of Black Lives Matter.  Thank you, I yield the rest of my time. Thank you. Hey, the next and final speaker is Griffin Jones. Hey, can you hear me? Yes, again, go ahead, Griffin. Great. First of all, I wanna thank all of the organizers with the Racial Justice Alliance for putting together these demands and organizing this incredible turnout. I am gonna add my voice to the supporters of all of their demands that you've heard maybe 250 times tonight. And I just wanna ask a question for the council. How much more time is it gonna take for you to listen to these demands and actually take them to heart and turn them into meaningful action? Because I'm sure you have more meetings, more public questions, and I'm sure people will keep turning out until we start seeing some action. So yeah, I am looking forward to seeing some action based on the Racial Justice Alliance's demands. And yeah, have a good night. Thank you, good night to you. Okay, Jordan, thank you. And all the members of the city team that helped facilitate that. And thank you for everyone who participated. That was remarkable. As orders of magnitude larger, I believe in any public forum that the Board of Finances had before, and I think longer and more participation, I believe in any city council. Public forum. So thank you, everyone involved. And I see my colleagues are all still here too, and I know we're all listening hard throughout that. And this is a remarkable, terrible moment in our country's history, but also one where it does seem that change and reevaluation, how we go forward, is happening. And thank you for participating in that tonight. That concludes item two of our agenda. And I would, I don't believe we can make a lot of progress with the remainder of the agenda tonight. We, without other members of the city team. So I would welcome thoughts from the Board and how you'd like to proceed if you, what is item three on the agenda, even if it's fine. What's that? I believe it's the climate budget. It's the climate budget. If the Board would like to move forward, I was going to present the climate budget. If people would like to have discussion of that, we are prepared to do that. I would need a short recess to get that in front of me. I would also support, has other thoughts on how we go forward if I would welcome a motion to, I think it is an agenda that I believe the council wants to hear from the administration on this agenda before a budget is submitted. We are planning another budget session on Wednesday and either now or after the climate budget, that's another way that we could go here is we can have a motion to recess this meeting until 5.30 on Wednesday, when we would pick up the agenda. And I think we would need to add to the agenda that night as well. Councilor Paul. Thank you. Just wanted to know what is, I don't see the an agenda for the June 10th meeting yet on board docs. So perhaps you could just let us know what you had planned for that other than my understanding is the CEDAW budget, but there probably are a few more things. Yeah, it was the, my understanding, you know, my recollection of Catherine's plan was, yes, it was a CEDAW budget. And I think there are one or two more enterprise funds that we're not planned for tonight that were planned for Wednesday. So wastewater and wastewater? That's right. Councilor Kahn. Given the hour and the considerable testimony we have and pages and pages of notes here, I am, I've reached my limit. I hope folks understand, but as far as continuing this meeting tonight, I think I would propose that we adjourn for the night and reconvene on Wednesday. We could adjourn, we could recess with this the agenda since we haven't gotten to the majority agenda. So those are the two choices. I think the board does not want to go forward. Then recess is the proper motion actually move to recess and reconvene on the, on Wednesday and take up the agenda then. Okay, is there a second for that motion? I second. Thank you, Councilor Chang. Further discussion? Okay, we'll go to vote on that motion then. All those in favor of the motion and that is a motion to recess until 530 on Wednesday. All those in favor of the motion, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you, my colleagues here. And I know many of our other colleagues on the city council and those who are present on this call as well. And let me say once again, thank you to everyone who participated tonight in this pretty remarkable public forum and demonstration of democracy using this technology that we haven't used before and in some ways perhaps it enabled, we haven't used before this pandemic, perhaps it, I'll bring more people together tonight then. So thank you again, everyone. And we'll see you again on Wednesday at 530. Thank you. Bye. You're adjourned at 11.17 p.m.


Poland, at risk of direct confrontation with Russia, Belarus Medvedev. Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council and former president, posted an 8,000-word rant about Polish-Russian relations calling Warsaw a dangerous enemy of Moscow and threatening it with the loss of statehood. Medvedev has warned that Poland's actions may lead to a direct confrontation with Russia and Belarus and launch World War III. Poland's own military build-up and Polish military presence in Ukraine may trigger a direct confrontation between Warsaw and Belarus and Russia, Medvedev said in an article for the Rossi Skyar Gazeta newspaper. In this case, the allied group will give an appropriate response to prevent threats that stem from the evil ambitions of the Polish establishment, he stressed. In Medvedev's opinion, Poland's reckless actions, if rashly supported by its NATO allies, may have far-reaching dangerous consequences for the entire world and then Poland will fulfill the role of the hyena of Europe that unleashed World War III, he noted. Medvedev also writes about the EU's hatred of Poland and the Poland's disdain for Ukrainians but separately focuses on Russia's attitude towards Warsaw. In the 21st century, Russia has a dangerous enemy in Eastern Europe that was revived in the person of Poland and it should be treated exactly as a historical enemy considering that it is in principle incorrigible. And if there is no hope of reconciliation with the enemy, Russia should only have one and a very rigid attitude towards his fate. He claims. Medvedev explains the transformation of Poland into an enemy of Russia through Russophobic revisionist policy while at the same time recalling how, at the end of the 18th century, the Russian Empire took part in the dismemberment of the then-Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. History has delivered a merciless verdict to the insolent Poles more than once. No matter how ambitious the revanchionist plans are, their defeat can lead to the death of the entire Polish statehood. Will we then mourn the collapse of modern Polish statehood? There is no need to deceive. There can only be one answer. Definitely not. Concludes Medvedev.


My weight was holding me back in many ways, airplanes, roller coasters, playing in the yard with my niece and nephews, everyday activities. Some of the complications I had with being overweight was fatty liver disease, high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, so they held me back with my health a lot. I heard about bariatric surgery. I had a best friend of mine, her mom went through it. I've known a few people I had worked with that had had it. I called my primary care doctor and talked to her a lot about what the procedure was and she sent me to Dr. Banachi and had me talk with him. I was super nervous going into it and I just went to a seminar at Mid-Michigan Health and they were also supportive and they just talked a lot about the surgery and what was going to happen before and after and they're very supportive. My husband and my mom were my ultimate supporters. They're always there. They're going to push you along, give you support, help you find support. I had an awesome support with my husband and my mom. With having my bariatric surgery and all the support groups so close to home, it was so nice not having to drive hours to get to where I needed to be and I could go to my appointments after work and it was nice to have it close to home. I had a bariatric weight management team who helped me figure out all my doctor's appointments, what I needed to do prior to surgery and they really helped me get a calendar set out and get all my doctor's appointments on there and they're very helpful. I had to go to two nutrition classes. I went to two bariatric support groups. I seen the psychologist for psych evaluation. I had to see my primary care doctor for six months prior to surgery. I was very anxious going into the surgery but I knew I was making the right choice and I was super excited and a little nervous at the same time. My surgery went very well. I had a couple complications after surgery but those were just minor and I was in the hospital for a few days and was able to go home and as soon as I got home I felt like a million dollars. Pain was very mild and I was very happy. This is definitely not an easy fix. There's so much that goes into having bariatric surgery. After surgery I was on a liquid diet for two weeks, pretty much just liquid, just water, liquids, broth and then two weeks after that was pureed food so anything you can put in a blender peas, green beans and then after two weeks with that it was very mild low soups and stuff that was easy to chew up really well to swallow. Your body has a really good restriction still on your stomach. I can only eat about four bites and I'm done eating but I focus on eating my proteins first and then if I have room for fruits and vegetables afterwards I will but I eat about every two hours on the hour. Three months after I had so much more energy I was confident, I was ready to tackle the world. I have lost 115 pounds total. It was almost exactly half of my weight. If you're thinking about bariatric surgery go to a support group. They have them all the time at Mid-Michigan Health in Alma in Midland. They have them all the time and people are so supportive and they will never push you into something you don't want to do. If it sounds like something you want to do go for it because I wish I would have done it a long time ago.


I wanted to show you all the cool things. Is that a monorail? Number one monorail. The cool things are why I love the contemporary. So, but like I said before, monorail number one, because if you're an advent monorail spotter, there are no better places than to hunt out some good old monorail spotting. Look at this. Look at this little beauty coming in right now.  You know why? Because it's on this side. Look at that. Hello monorail green. I think her name's Katie. Number two, it is home to the only Instagram wall I've ever discovered. Look at this beauty.  I tell everyone, but nobody gets on it. It's like a new trend. We gotta make this happen. I love blue, but no one close my friend could do. Has anybody seen my girl? Turn down votes, never had no other vote. Has anybody seen my girl? Now if you... So in a couple of minutes, I'm gonna show you guys my most favorite thing here at the contemporary. And it's kind of like a little secret. I have talked about it before, but it is pretty much my favorite thing to do at any resort. And it's done by time, so I have to wait for the right time. So until then, I'm gonna show you some other very cool things, but I do need to go down a level. We're going down to the conference level where they have all the different ballrooms like the Grand Republic ballroom. But there are some of the coolest chill out spots down here. And it's always been a dream of mine to come here one day and just take a nap on a couch. Look at those couches. They're so comfy looking, aren't they? And the best part of it all is it's absolutely quiet down here. It is so quiet. There's hardly anybody down here.  I'll show you some of my favorite. Right down here by the ballroom of the Americas because all the way at the far end right next to the restroom that's behind this wall here, they have a little tiny chase couch area. No one's ever down here. And if you listen closely, you can just sit here and listen to some great Disney tunes. How cool is that? It's also got a little charger station. Look at that. It's not a station in outlet. But it's very relaxing, comfortable. I enjoyed a lot here. All right, it's 4.30 and it's time for my most favorite thing about the contemporary because at 4.30, the California Grill opens up for a lounge half an hour, like a pregame before the actual restaurant opens up for reservations. So if you get here at like 4.30, you get to go up to the California Grill with no reservation and you can sit down at the bar, get to check out all the views, get some food, get some drink and it's pretty empty. And I love it. It is probably my most favorite thing to do here or at any resort. So I'm going. Gonna go all the way up top where it's very windy but gotta take the hat off. There we go. We're ready to go up. Be me up, Carol. Oh, absolutely. See that? Hack on. That's why I kept it on. And look at that. Beautiful. There we go. But light in hand. Now it's time to take a look at all the pretty views. Look at that. Oh, you see all that smoke over there at Magic Kingdom? The fireworks must have just went off. Beautiful, isn't it? I don't know why I get a sense of happiness whenever I come out here. Grand Floridian, the Polynesian. You can even see the wilderness lodge from over there. Oh, and of course, Cinderella's Castle. Or Space Mountain. Either one is great. The food surface does not start until five o'clock. But once at five o'clock, if you're up here, you're sitting at the bar or the lounge area, you're welcome to have anything off the menu, take them right over. Like I said, no reservation needed. But until then, you can actually go out onto the viewing docks. These two up front, though, are not open. Usually in a windy day, they don't keep them open. So I'm gonna have to go to the backside. And that's over around Yonder here. Yep. Right over here. And right through that door, just bear with me, though, because it is gonna get windy out here. It's gonna get very windy. It's nice to see a little sun on this rainy day. I had to look down. I almost fell. I don't even need to add music to this track right here. It's already playing. Look at this. Oh, what did I tell you? This is prime monorail spot on right here. I love it. I love it a lot. Ooh, and you can see a lot of construction going on for Tron over there. Okay, I'm going to try and zoom in the best I can. I don't know how this is gonna come out, but here we go. Let's see how Tron's coming along there. Look at that. Huh. Very nifty. I hope no one's afraid of heights. Check that out. You can also see construction for guardians of the galaxy at Epcot from here. Two of the biggest attractions coming to Walt Disney World. Okay, I'm gonna head back in because I left my hat unattended at the bar and I know that some people might wanna take that hat because, you know, it's a nice hat. It's a gorgeous hat. I love that hat. So let's go check out a little bit on the inside. I wanna point out that if you ever sign up to do one of the cool fireworks packages for the California Girl, these are the rooms that you get, actually. I'm gonna give you a peek-see. We've done a couple of different events here and it is beautiful because they set up a bar, you have your own bartender, a great view. Plus, you get access to that balcony in the back there that I was just on and it's closed off and only for attendees to a private event here. Pretty awesome. Everything smells so delicious. They're getting ready for their dinner rush. Oh, but the food here is so great. So phenomenal. Okay, time to go. I was feeling a little uncomfortable with out my hat on but I wanna point out another very cool thing about the elevators here. They actually talk to you but it's Mickey who's talking to you. I'll show you. Did you hear that? How cool was that? Oh, we stopped at five, four. I wanna see if we can get any more people in here. Let's do it. I wanna get as many people in the elevator as much. I got trapped in an elevator once in the Navy like that. We had to pry the doors open. All right, I don't wanna do that anymore. Now that we're back down on the main lobby, I actually wanna take you outside because there was something out there that I absolutely love to do while I'm here. So, we're gonna head down the escalator, going down this escalator, caught up in the roof. If you go out to where like the splash pad is and the pool area is, they have a lot of cool activities set up out here. Like this gigantic checkers board. It's huge. That's pretty fun. Well, is it checkers or chess actually? I don't think it's chess but it's white and black instead of red and black. So I don't know actually, but I think that's cool but what I'm looking for is on the other side of the sand bar. But on a side note, I think it's a staple that if you come to the contemporary or stay at the contemporary, you take a picture sitting in Mickey's ears. They got little contemporary resort cornhole set up here. Oh boy, I'm doing this left-handed. Ryan, what? That is crazy. I don't think I've ever gotten so excited about something. What's crazy? I did a left-handed too. They also have a cool little sand bar in here. With some pretty fancy mixed drinks. Banana cabana, poolside iced tea, blueberry lemonade, strawberry margarita, bourbon breeze, cucumber and mint, bojito. Very fancy. They also have a pool table, which you can't use right now because obviously it's a little wet out and it's raining and that'll ruin the felt. But they have foosball, ping pong. Oh, they have a Kinect four up there. And all the way over here, they have a volleyball court. Just look at this.  Except for, it's a little bit gloomy out today. But they do have a basket full of sand castles and footballs and a cat. Why is there a cat or monkey here? Oh, it's a symbol. It's a baby Simba. Oh, look at that. Oh, cute. Oh, they have a dinosaur too. Oh, I like it. While you're outside and you're enjoying all the activities that there are, a good thing is to stop and just look up. I don't know why, but I'm always captivated by just the structure of the contemporary. But I think the coolest thing about the contemporary is the fact that Magic Kingdom is literally just a monorail stop-away. So I'm gonna head over there because I wanna sit at the train station and just literally watch people walk down Main Street. Sounds like a good day to me. So let's go do that. But first, look at this monorail coming in here. I got a great spot. I got a great space for this. Look at this. Oh, yeah. What did I tell you about the monorail spotting? You can't get this anywhere else except for the contemporary. This is beautiful, isn't it? Bye, monorail. I'll never forget you. I usually like to go down to the last cart to see if I can get one all by myself and I might've lucked out. Oh, hello. Look at this. Oh, wait. Oh, someone left their bag here. Just garbage. Just realized, I said that the monorail is one stop away from the Magic Kingdom, but I was totally wrong. Let's go to Ticket and Transportation, the Polynesian, then the Grand Floridian, then the Magic Kingdom. What? Who can complain about a monorail ride? To those guests who just joined us, welcome. But, love the life you live, but also, I wanted to thank the Patreon account, Francis, April, Aaron, Lindsey, Taylor, Daniel, David. And yes, I was reading those off the phone, but thank you guys. Thank you guys so much for help supporting the channel and we'll see you next time. They actually left the park and I forgot I needed to get something for somebody. Someone's getting a present. Oh, my Lord, I caught a Disney cat in the wild. Look at this. Magic Kingdom, Disney cat. Oh, boy, I'm so excited. What's your name, precious? Hello, meow, meow. Oh, it's okay. It's okay. Mew, meow, meow. Mew, meow, meow, come here. Nope, not interested. Goodbye. I'll never forget you.
