So hey there, Belmont, Yerme, Soda, and Felipe. Thank you all for coming and being here early on the chat. How we doing today, everybody? We definitely just had it is time. We definitely just had a new episode of the Cathode Ray podcast come out today. Just give my audio levels checked here. Turn that down. So hope that some of you I could see Felipe. I said he got to enjoy that. Hope everybody get to enjoy that. And Louis said we were pretty funny in it. I don't know. Hopefully we were. Hey, Edward, thank you for coming today. But it was a good. It was a good look at a crazy, you know, marketing campaign. So definitely a lot there. Hey, everybody, we've got some people rolling in more now. Andre, hello. Hey, good day to you, David Carmichael. Good to see you here. Anthony, thank you for coming. All right. So if you're here and ready to do some soldering today. Well, let's get let's get ready. And I am just drinking some nice fizzy water. Hey, Shadow Mask. So no need to worry. Alcohol free afternoon here. So we are going to get to work here in a second. And we will repair a power supply and recap it. Recap just about all caps. There's two caps on here that are not going to be replaced. I've checked them. They're good. Hello, little pig. All right. So let's get let's just get back to our desk for you and start working. I've only got the two views for you today. And actually, I've got one more view for you because what we're going to do is we're going to remove the capacitors from this, all except for this large one. And then this real small one right here down here. For some reason, these are both difficult to source. And so if they test out good, I usually try to keep them in there. This one's real weird. It's got like four prongs and a really nuts, large filter capacitor that thankfully don't normally go bad. So that's one issue. We need to do that. Probably need to reflow the solder on this whole board. And let me show you why. Hopefully I can get in here and show you. Anyway, if anything's off, if my if my mic's coming in too hot, if the music's too loud, let me know. If it's all good, then hey, do me a solid favor of hitting that like button on the stream. That way, all your friends will know to come and hang out with us on this show today.  I'm sure if I'll be able to point this out to you, let me get a pointer. Right. So what I've got to show you here is some bad solder joints or thank you, Belmont, bad solder joints. Thank you, Andre. So look at this board. This is a nineties board. The specific part, I'm going to see how good I can focus in here with this camera. There's a couple issues right here. I was going through and inspecting this for the capacitor kit and check this out. First off, this right here has an entire it's going to be difficult to see, but you can kind of see how it has a ring right here where my end of my I don't want to lose focus. See right there that that that looks like a ring. That's that's where it started to develop a very bad cold solder joint. And this is actually on a transformer. I put this over. It's on your side of this yellow transformer. So it's a vital component. So there's obviously some issues where possibly cold solder joints will develop in here. So we're going to need to reflow solder on the board. But also if you look in here even closer and those of you have the good eyes, you'll notice this white line coming in here. I'm going to follow it from this side of the board. Look at that all the way here. We've got a partial hairline crack on the backside of this board. I think it goes all the way to C671 right here and comes all the way down to basically this edge of the board. So this was working still even with this crack. But there's some possibilities over here. So we probably scratch some of this off this solder mask and just make sure we have a good blob of solder around here so that we don't have any disruptions. But that's just something I noticed when I was inspecting it. It's kind of bent a little bit. It's not it's not too noticeable. But we definitely could have caused this to not power on. Yeah, this is the 1340. Hey, PO 17. So I mean, first, I definitely noticed the cold solder joint and I noticed the hairline crack. But I don't it's not like anything major. Like I said, it's pretty minor. It could have caused a sever on this point right here. But it didn't and that would have been pretty severe because that is to what that is, is that a ground line? Possibly. So we're going to start. Yeah, it bent a little bit. I'm not sure like when it bent. It was this is you could kind of see. I don't know if you can see. It's very difficult. It's like a slight tiny bend like almost where that red is. I noticed I started looking closely because this for some reason this diode was just installed. Poorly in the factory. So anyway, we'll get this fixed up and then thankfully we can test it if we have an issue. We can't get this board repaired. We can use this in combination with another board I have here with available for parts. But I don't really want to do that if I don't have to. So if you're ready with me, say hello to my little friend. And let's get to desoldering some capacitors here. Let's get our iron temps turned on. And we're hitting, you know, probably six hundred and sixty, six hundred and seventy degrees Fahrenheit on this HACCO FR 301 that we're going to be using to desolder these parts. Now, before I start pulling these, let's look over here at our dashboard. And these are the capacitors we're pulling from this. We're going to be pulling these tent and replacing them. Oh, well, fitting enough. I don't know how I got a birthday song on the playlist, but I did. And today is not my birthday. But next Wednesday will be my birthday, and that's not a joke. So I guess I'll just leave it on the song and not skip over to it. So we're going to remove these 10 capacitors right here. And have a happy birthday to whoever's birthday it is on July 26. If it's your birthday today. And you happen to be watching, just let us know. We'll give you a happy birthday shout out. All right, let's remove some capacitors. It's been a while since we've done some soldering in our spots here. I've got my cap kid in front of me. Oh, that's great. Hilarious. Well, definitely let your wife know. We all said happy birthday, Belmont. We're going to start up here. Oh, there we go. Oh, that's nice. You have 17. That's awesome. Yes, wonderful, happy birthday belated or early. Or day of here we go. We got our first cap out. This is a 160 volt. One micro farad capacitor, 85 degree temperature. And there's nothing on here. I'm going to say this is probably a Panasonic. Put that over here in our wasted tray. And if we have time, we can test all those afterwards. Now, that's C616. 613 is somewhere, didn't say 613. Oh, yeah, that's one of the big ones. All right. Now we're going to take out this one. Absolutely. Thank you guys for all being here. I don't know what happened to the jazz playlist. Ark the Herald Angels, man, we are really. Somebody's going to try to claim this stuff. Even there we go. All right, I'm getting a little crazy out there. Stare, I swear, I didn't choose all that stuff. Jason Statham. Oh, yeah, Jason Statham. Last Jason Statham movie I watched was on streaming. It was the Meg with my 12 year old son. The Meg. Yeah, I know, right? It was just like, wait a second. What's going on? Where did that music taking us? Two fifty forty seven. This one's a big one. And then we'll go down here. Six one sevens right here in the middle of this board. This is a little more, more up our alley and our. Speed here, this music to a little bit better. There we go. Six one seven. Now, this one is one I have to do. No, it's not. It's fifty volt forty seven. Alna. Eighty five degree passenger there. That's right, Phil. Hello, Phil, thank you for coming. Yeah, Christmas in July. July is almost over. Can you believe it? Well, of course the JVC good for people. Of course it is. Yes, retro future fan. A fan of retro future. Here we go. Here we go. We got six one nine. That's this one right here. Fifty volt ten, my dear. No, as I. All these camps. I'm trying my best not to touch anything besides the actual legs of the passengers. And the solder. I don't want to touch the pads so much with this. Because these pads are going to be fragile. C six one nine is a fifty volt ten. Alna cap. Yep, absolutely. Time flies right?  How old you were getting. Six twenty, I think this is the one that I have to worry about the upgrade on. Yeah, it's it's kind of low voltage. Twenty and under twenty five volts, like ten. So this is a ten volt forty seven. Oh, gosh, I think I wrote that down wrong on the capacitor kit. That's why I was going to check this stuff. Check it out. I just wrote this capacitor kit out and I wrote it wrong. Six twenty, I wrote point four seven. And to delete that forty six. Because this is a this is a ten volt. If you can even see that, it's going to be very difficult. There we go. Ten volt forty seven. Alna. So I can do it. I'm going to have to get a different capacitor, but I just need to go with like a twenty five volt forty seven or sixteen volt forty seven. Do do. Hey, McMuffin snuffer stuffer. Welcome, man. So yeah, that's a good reason to check your work, man. That would have probably been a bad bad move. Put them in there. All right, moving on. Moving on to six twenty three. I know this capacitor leg is was installed in the factory. It's ridiculously long. I never got clipped right by whatever whatever robot it's assembled. It's assembled this six twenty three. C six twenty three should be a twenty five volt twenty two. It is, but it just got. Well, it actually looks pretty normal. Legs are the same length. One was just really long. OK, another Elna cap, twenty five volt twenty two. That's good. Now we're going to get these down in this block. That's just about all that's left. Six. What's next? We can go with the big one.  Six seven four and six seven one over here. We'll get those out. I got prepped a little early off screen today. So I did clean my FR three zero one ahead of time. So it should be working good. This is another big one, thirty five volt one thousand. Use my finger to discharge it in case there's a zap. Give you guys something to see like last last live stream. Where I zapped when I zapped that power supply on the testing it on the last live stream. If you didn't see that, you can go back and check that out. Six seventy four. I don't even see that one on the list. Six seventy four. Is it? Oh, yeah, six fifty six. I have a list of six fifty six. I'm like, can't get always good to do this. This is why I don't release these till after I go through them and check. All right. Now. Let's get six seventy one out, which is a 16 volt faster right in here. This one's this one's at the top of the hairline crack. So it's definitely needing some attention. Six seventy one, 16 volt for seventy. This is like a nicer capacitor. Hi, yes, we have one hundred and five degree faster here. Hey, roll paths. All right, I don't know what you guys are talking about in the chat right now. Got one more small one down here, six fifty eight. Now I could see that hairline crack all the way through this board on the top side, too. It's just like barely below it. I think if I get in there, maybe you'll be able to see it. You see it, you see the hairline crack right there. It goes through that capacitor. See six seventy one right next to that induction coil. And it goes all the way down to that corner of the board there. So that this is not a double sided board as far as like tracing goes. This trace is on top there. That's just painted on there for visual reasons. That's the traces are on the bottom side. All right, let's get out these last two on that swim. And I just thought it was funny whenever I look over. And I don't know what's going on in the chat. Makes me laugh. Six fifty eight sounds good. Hey, little pig, thank you for. Ten dollars super chat, my friend. Appreciate that. Ten dollars super chat. I'll take a second to stop and talk to you and see what we got. I just need to check this capacitor six, five, eight. All right, I cannot seem to find a niche Rubicon Panasonic point five or 50 volt point four seven. Micro farad capacitor on Mauser or Digi key. Oh, I've been using I wouldn't sweat. I wouldn't skip on worth electronics. I use them a lot. I have to use them. You can't just not recap a monitor because of them. So I don't feel I've used them. And have had no problems. I've been using for years. The problem. The problem is if you get married to Nishi Khan and Rubicon, you you can also check. There should be something of that brand. That's not an uncommon thing, but you should check. Digi key also. But don't worry about just those three brands. You can get other brands and they'd be good. A worth electronic capacitor that is a 50 volt point four seven is better than these Elna capacitors. Way better than like these Elna eighty five degree capacitors that are 20 years old or 25 years old. In this case, it's way better of a capacitor. Then that. But thank you for the super chat. And I hope that helps. I would proceed with confidence that they're going to be good.  It's like places you got to worry about are eBay when you're buying capacitors. Yeah, they're they're red. But yeah, I've been using them, especially in those common values because let's face it, during like twenty twenty one, it was hard to get even capacitors. And I wasn't able to really pick and choose any brand most of the time. I had to just take what it was ever available from the parts suppliers. And a lot of it was worth and I was thinking the same thing. And I researched the company and everything sounded good. I would look, checked out their data sheets, tested them a lot and never had any issues at all. So I'm flooding out this large capacitor here a little bit because it is big and I just don't know. How easy it's going to be to get out of here, but we're going to just kind of move it a little bit by heating up. Getting that stuff down there in the legs, because I don't have probably something big enough. All right, let's see if we can get this to. I'll try to see if that helps at all. I think we got one leg broken free. See, once you get a leg free, it's not so bad. It's just getting the first leg actually broken free. I think this one on the left is pretty free. Let's see right here, if it's not, it's close to free. Let's see about it. Basically resoldered it completely and we'll come back in here and just do the same thing over and over again till we get it the way we like it. We're going to have to get this new snap in capacitors are kind of a pain because the angle of the C is not wanting to come out at all. Probably I'll empty my chamber here real quick because I just sucked a ton of solder into it. We go.  I don't have any solder wick, so that's no fun. Maybe it's just trim the leg a little bit. This awfully long. It's like, had a corner.   They don't have straight legs. They got like a hook leg almost. And that's what this is. It's just a snap in. So that snap in, it's just extra surface area for the cap to dissipate heat. Let's just cut those down. I know I can't get anything to. Grab on to on that in anymore, but we're about to pop it. There we go. Check it. See. Got it. But that's where that, you know, that damage from that cracked board goes actually all the way to that point. So. If I was wondering if that was going to be the case, and it does appear to be the case. Let's clear the holes. So there we go. Snap in cap out. Yeah, that kept some monster. And he just look how big that one is. That one's bad.  And it's still test good on the ESR meter. That's why I didn't put out. But look at the like, look how much solder was flooded on that leg. Yeah, so anyway, Elma, baby. Hey, pics again, pixels. All right, I think that's all the cash we're removing. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Yes, OK. So they're out. Let's let's get in here and see if I can do anything. I want to kind of. So we've got this hairline crack here. I turned that light on. Can you still see? OK, so we've got our hairline cracking out in this area. I'm probably going to rub it off here. That portion of it to do that. And then we'll follow this line up here where it's over in this. And we'll do the same kind of thing. Scrape off the solder mask. Because we're going to have to just blend some of this together. And my my fiberglass scratching pan here is. Literally almost out. So that's good. That's a good spot. A lot of dead space there. That's right on. All right, so we can actually fix that. No problem. What about up here next to a big hole? Yeah, it's a fiberglass pan. OK. So that, like, is where it kind of ends at that hole. And that's got so. OK. Let me get some alcohol in here and we'll clean off this area. I kind of scratched up. All right, folks, give me one minute. I got to go find some paper towels. All right. Sorry about that. Thank you for hanging out. You haven't already done me a favor. Hit the like button. I appreciate it. I appreciate your help there. Hope you're enjoying this different stream. You know, I wanted to just get back to some good old fashioned. Work with soldering. And recapping and thought, why not stream it? It's been a while since I've done a stream where I've actually done some. Board work, the last couple of streams have been me actually just going over the board work, not actually doing it. But this was a perfect opportunity to get back in the lab here with you today and work on these. Look at all that. Me self-elected. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for helping out with the great questions and comments. And chat. And if there's any questions you got, get to those eventually or you can ask it now and maybe I'll see it. But I'm still going to sit here and work on this board. There is our section. So it may be even. So I look at something like this, I might even come in here and remove this old nasty solder off some of these points down in here. Like on this. That we talked about this transformer, because it just looks nasty. And I don't see any reason to keep you reusing that old solder. Just get rid of it and add fresh solder all the way. What other pen looked pretty bad? There was a couple of them to that diode where the crack happened. We should we should fix it. So it doesn't just hit me with the pet peeve. So remove the old sock there. Make sure that. See, even even gravity and the forces of nature wanted to push that back up because it did it on its own. Right in there. OK, we're going to go through here. We're going to reflow solder on this board and then we'll reinstall those capacitors. But we're definitely going to start with the solder reflow. Because I'm going to do this whole board. This is the kind of normal thing for this style PBM, especially this old of a power supply. See how we have to get all that kind of mesh together there to overcome that lot of solder in that spot to that. So that's that looks pretty good on that one. Actually, it looks kind of natural, almost. Oh, the other spot. Let's see, this one definitely needed it. It is probably we'll do that for that corner right there. See that? Just see that. How about that? Pretty decent. You say that close up. See that quick weld right there. On our edge right here. I change the angle if that helps any. But that weld right there for a break, their weld right there for a break. Let's get in there. Maybe we'll take a closer look. Silly light doesn't want to look very good for us. Come on, focus, focus. There we go. See that? That's our weld repair. Same thing over here. Not so much. OK, that's it for the repair kind of spots, I believe.  So it's best to just start and do it kind of section by section. You don't really want to do things like test points. Other things like that, they're just in there by themselves. You're worried about components and you don't need to do. A lot of components, the same legs right at the same time. Or you're going to have a possibility that something falls out. So you may just have to jump jump back and forth between pens. This point on the side here looks pretty pretty bad. Also over here, where our connection is. So it's definitely something to consider this this whole because if you wiggled. This connector, you know, from the other cable and where you're putting the cable in on the other side, you would definitely be able to break the solder on this. On these pins, so that should be pretty good, though. That's a test point. I'm not going to do that. Here's our diode and trim that. There's like spots that have nothing. Don't worry about that. And then you have spots that have shielding. Those don't need to be refloat either. Like for heat sinks or something too. No, let's not do those. That's kind of a waste. Unless it looks so bad, it's about to fall off. Yeah, normally I would have my fan run into over here. There we go. We're getting through it. We're getting through it. You got to do this with this board for sure. And we also need to do our neck board like this.  Looks like we got these. But so this is something that's been a little interesting that I've been doing lately. There's nothing to do with work. It's my new thing that I've been kind of hunting and collecting and enjoying. And that is bourbon and like bourbon. This is the hunt for good bourbon bottles. That sounds kind of goofy, but that is a thing. Especially nowadays, it seems to be a real thing. So I've been going around this last weekend here in Virginia. See, Virginia is a place where the government controls the flow of spirits. So you have to go to a state run store to get alcohol. Anything distilled, I think is the rule or something. And they're the ones in control of it. So they do instead of letting liquor stores, you know, get products that are rare and charge, you know, any more for them or whatever. It's all like based on just this thing called allocation where they just randomly send certain bottles to stores. So you can never really tell who's got what in stock that's on an allocation list. It just shows up on a delivery, hopefully. And you don't know those coming on Tuesdays. So you got to go by on Tuesdays and see if they have anything new. But this last weekend, they actually did an announced bourbon drop where it was like single barrel and a lot of these special, about 10 different bourbons that they were having. And it was just an allocation list. It was special. It said there were going to be some of these at each of your liquor stores. Your Virginia liquor stores would have three or four bottles of this 10 bottle list. And they would have a limited amount. And as a resident, I'm allowed to go get one per store per day. I actually don't know all the rules. Maybe I was only supposed to get one all together. I'm not sure. Like, but what I did was I went to a store a little bit early near me. And it was actually fun. I met I met guys from this. There were some amazing. It was there was some all Americans from the. From the local football team here, the JMU James Madison University. And our football team here had some had some players there waiting in line to get whiskey also on the day. So I got to talk to them. That was cool. It was four or five of them. You know, they all looked like young and talked like talking like partying and stuff was funny. So I definitely got into some conversations with them, talked to them about some bourbon and then eventually the store opened. I bought my one bottle. I was allowed at that store and I jump in the car and I immediately drive over to a second liquor store in town, the second ABC. It's called ABC here. Go to the second liquor store in town. They have. I think that they had one of the same bottles and then like three different ones than that other place. And so I bought a different bottle there. And then I left there and I went to a third store and a bottle. I bought my third bottle there and so I had three different bottles of this special release one day event because all this stuff sells out.  They only had six only had six come into a store. And I was like all the store would get. So after finding out they would only get a couple of them. I was like, man, I'm just going to try to get as many as I can today. The day it came out. So I went to the three stores got the three bottles and then I was out later that night and I went back to the very first store I went to to begin with and bought a fourth bottle because they had some left of a different kind that I didn't get originally. So I wound up getting a fourth bottle from there because they had a shift change since the workers didn't recognize me and know that I bought one earlier and I'm too old to get ID and scan for my ID. No one knew I bought one earlier. So they let me buy another one and so I got for the first day. I went back to the liquor store yesterday just to see if anything came off the truck and the other store I went to had one more bottle left or one more type of the allocation bottles left. It's the bullet bourbon single barrel. It's like $65 a bottle and they had 13 of them left. So they got two cases of this stuff which comes in the 12 bottle case. So cases can be six or 12 bottles. They got tons of this bullet so nobody bought it all and they said you know you can come back tomorrow and get another one. So I might go get a sixth bottle of it since it's the allocation stuff and I can never tell whether you know I'll be able to ever get this again. Hey self-elected thank you for the $5 super chat. It's not a problem. It's my new hobby. Yeah I know. That's what my wife said. You don't need to be drinking this all the time. It's probably right. Now that I've got it at the end of the day I look at my clock and it's like five o'clock and it does make you honestly. It does make you want to just crack open and pour yourself a little drink and say oh I'm just researching my new hobby. You've been researching that new hobby every day this week. But honey that's the conversation you start having. Because for a long time I was a big beer guy. I still like beer. It's not a problem of beer. I like it. But I don't know man like it's hot in the summertime. It's hard to constantly fill yourself with beer. You're outside or anything really. You're filling yourself with whiskey probably in much healthier. The methodical solder reflow here. I don't know. Let me see if I can audit where we are kind of. Oh this thing. Some of these parts I've done a couple of times because it just looks so bad. I've never tried booing booing my own beer now actually. That's cool. I used to have a thing in my garage in my old shop that you can see from the original videos of Retro Tech if you go back a couple of years in Tennessee and I had a kegerator which isn't it was an old 80's model refrigerator that had a hole drilled in it and a keg tap installed in it.  You had a CO2 cartridge tank in there. CO2 tank that would keep it you know gassed like they do at the restaurants. So you can make a keg last you know I don't know two weeks maybe but you know I can't really drink that much beer even in two weeks by yourself so it was kind of a dumb thing to get but I built it myself. It wasn't as if I bought it from somebody like that. See when I was in college that was the thing everybody wanted was the beer keg or the kegerator. The beer kegerator. Everybody wanted one and if you like had one you were instantly cool right?  I think we got back to happy birthday again. So definitely. Alright we've gone through our playlists here so that means we've been yep we're just about an hour in. Cool. Alright guys hope everybody's still enjoying the stream here. Thank you all for joining me. Why does the restoration of a CRT cost so much money? Because you have to do this. You want it to really work for a long time. Right. I can breathe again. And hold my breath over here. We've got this whole section up here done. Yeah. The football coach would kick me out. He would say you're bad at football. I'm pretty close to being in the boosters club over there. That place is like my spot. This is JMU sports stuff. I go to all the football games. I go to lots of the bat on nearly all the basketball games on campus. Go to some soccer stuff. Seven times. So I'm pretty close to getting on the booster club because I'm always wanting to sit like really close or in like the club level stuff and I'm like how much is that? I'm like ooh, nevermind. But it's not as bad because they're not a huge school that, I mean, they're getting bigger but the football program is growing too. But I'm sure that in the next couple of years they'll go up on the prices. It's a maneuvering that one. Sometimes you touch spots and it's like you can't tell whether anything got done or not. Getting good over here. Grab out of there. Oh, I almost pushed one out. Right there. I didn't realize this one was actually together right here. TH-16. There we go. Two. Got to get the cap in the right place. Got to add solder. Don't get an egg on your face. It's jazz. It's jazz. CRTs. And I'm over here soldering on stuff you guys can't even see. Sorry about that. Yes, everybody. Baby. How we doing here? Everybody ready for a beer? 3.30 not quite yet. See, I'll get done with this show and I'll feel like oh yeah, I did something great today. I exercised. I did this stream. I got this board hopefully fixed. And I'll want to drink. And that's how you become probably an alcoholic. See, that was a test point. I got myself confused. I thought that was a resistor. And we just lost test point 90. So, I'll show you. Goofball. That's a ground cable right there. So I don't want to knock that one out. This is what I was trying to get the resistor. Goodness gracious. Hit this spot. Did I get this spot right here? I'm sure we'll just do it again to be safe. I think I did. Get this fuse. There we go. Now we're doing pretty good. We're working our way back. We'll fix that. Just go ahead and remove that solder just because that'll be easier. So test pole, test point can go back in here. I removed my mistake. So we'll try and correct that. See, this is going to be tricky because this thing is going to heat up my finger too. So I don't want to do it for too long. Woo. That's hot. I should have just used this to begin with. And that's good enough. We're not going to add more solder to this planus. Oh, yeah. There's a couple of devices to hold up. There's the actual Sony self-elected was asking about what to hook up. What to use to hook up a device that only has RF to a Sony PVM like an Atari. And probably the easiest thing to do is take and use a VCR. Okay. And it doesn't even have to be a working VCR because it can still just do the channel tuner and then you can connect composite video to it. So if it's always a VHS or VCR with composite video coming out of it then you can use that. And other than that there is the tuner unit which is an actual tuner unit made by Sony and I've done a video on it and it's an accessory that is made by Sony for PVMs and it's made to sit under the 8 inch and 9 inch sized PVMs sits under them. And I'll show you all that here in a second if I can if I still have one over here in the shop I should still have one here. But I definitely made a video on it. Gosh, I just can't remember what that video was called. Oh, I just man I just broke my rule again an inductor where is it? this one oh it almost came out gosh I gotta quit doing that I'm breaking my rule where I'm these soldering stuff too much or putting solder on the wrong points cause you can't do if you'll do this you'll get them both molten and you'll end up pulling the part out and I don't want to do that hang on okay sorry about that that's fixed so like on these right here I want to do this leg and if I do that leg right next to it it's gonna do the same thing it's gonna hop out so I'll come to that one after it's had a second to harden there we go yeah it's TU 41 or something I can't remember the exact model number for you we're working our way working our way almost we've almost gone through the entire gone through this whole stuff over here just like have this little area it's everything there it's going in here we'll hit up these those bourbons that I've been buying some of them and they are just crazy like how strong they are something like 130 proof or 65% stuff makes you like mouth feel like it's on fire numbs ya it's so strong it's like amazing we've got fresh solder on this quadrant let's go over here so this dream's been going pretty good I was concerned right before I got started I thought it was gonna give me some troubles today but it doesn't seem to have done that there we go I don't mind having a little bit of big solder blobs I don't want to have huge ones that are obnoxious and not going to call them blobs I mean it's don't mind my welds having the look of an extra little bit of solder on them because they do but I don't want to have it too much extra where it looks bad even though I'm literally worrying about something that nobody most of the time people don't look in here and check the quality of their welds but I'll always know I'll always know I don't want another tech to come behind me in like 15 years and start working on these things and that was a bad idea find my work and I think it was terrible that's actually just a jumper thankfully there we go got everything over here we need to get a couple things right in this area there we go we're getting there I promise but it does give you a good idea how long a restoration project can go because we're only on the power board ouch I just hit my knee on something alright all this area is done let's set up this transformer over here but it does seem to go a long time doesn't it I thought this would be quicker than this I even thought that and I've done this on this style of power supply probably golly I can't even think how many times I've done this a lot be sure that's just shielding heat sink I'm looking here I believe we just hit the last spot that needs the fresh solder there we go hey james thanks for coming in hey strong I am refloating the whole board mac cheese thank you for coming I am I just got done actually refloating the whole board there you go like you're getting a good idea here how long all this takes where did I put my water it's fine now we'll go ahead and install some new capacitors how about that excellent I think everything is going good we still have a little more time let's start with our smaller capacitors in here put them over the side here and like I said there's going to be a whole mix of brands here some Michigan Panasonic a tiny one maybe even a Rubicon and then worth so first up we could start let's start oh in this section see 616 it's the first one we pulled out she said 616 160 volt one microfab and that's what we have here to install let's get them get our legs tacked in there you go beautiful beautiful people we have some beautiful little soldered in legs there we go see 616 installed let me push it there we go and then we will move on to 613 which is a big one it's in my Garfield cup 250 47 so there you go there's a Michigan cap like this could cost like two or three dollars easily maybe even four I'm not sure but something like this value this big this nice definitely can so see 613 goes right there and since it's a long leg I'm not gonna trim it some now try that let's sit for a second get real hot there we go let that harden cool a second let's get that opposite leg let's get that opposite leg stuck in the place welded down there we go it looks good from the other side looking good looking good right here okay two down eight to go now for the continue on in this zone probably should move down to this zone because the rest are this section there's nothing else over there why don't we do this middle section this is gonna be a lot of the smaller ones and remember I need to change some capacitors here C623 50 volt 22 it was originally a 25 volt 22 so it's fine for me to go up just a tad on this one that voltage increase should be perfectly safe it's just you don't want to go lower on the voltage and you don't want to change microfarads unless you know for a fact you need to sometimes you do need to but not not just because you want to for no reason or because you think it's safe sometimes it's not safe most of the time it is not safe C623 in the spot let's see C620 I think this is the one I do not have C620 right C617 which one is that there's a 50 volt 0.47 C617 so we'll stick that one in there what's C619 50 volt 10 which is this other red one so we'll go ahead and do these two and then I'm gonna have to get the cap from the back stock that goes right there we'll do that one after we weld these two in we'll get that one we'll grab that cap out of the storage or the I call it my shop stock it's just my stock of capacitors that I try to keep on hand there they're ones I use a lot fairly common isn't there enough yay or nay yay I'd say okay there we go put these legs down and we'll reflow that now we gotta go get a 25 volt 47 if we have it 16 volt 47 if we have it and I don't need another 0 we're gonna go with needless overkill here go for a 50 volt go all the way from a 10 volt to a 50 volt gosh that's tight too it's gonna be okay though things going good looks good here got another lovely wonderful day in the shop let's see what's the next one we're gonna put in we've gotten all these done now those all look fine everything's good so we have these two a big one one more big one there's a 50 volt 1000 where's that one go 674 oh that goes there so big one there, big one there and then I've got two small ones I'm sure that, oh I see it it's hiding right there okay I think that this is 671 right there, 16 volt 470 that crack didn't somehow get worse or anything when I was working on this but it does make me wonder a little bit about it two big ones left which of course I have another snap in capacitor 64 and then this big one right here right there sometimes you get a nice little pop from a bubble like exploding from all the heat in there any solder excellent alright now we have a big mama before big mama we got one more small one we can stick in here here we go so I have something being delivered tomorrow that's going to be worked on that should be pretty unique and amazing that is a B&O television an official United States B&O television that is really rare and the gentleman who's bringing it is coming from a long way and he tells me that he used to work for B&O back in the 90's when they were trying to release this TV in the United States and it was just a kind of a mess so kind of interesting to finally after all this time that's a TV I've never seen before it's taken all this time to finally get a B&O in the shop at any capacity so that's pretty exciting that's something I don't see very often just cleaning up this capacitor we got one more big boy snapping our own and this is an Elna cap I can only find Elna of this one still in business yeah something like that maybe I can't remember the exact model but we'll find out because it will be here like I said supposed to be getting dropped off tomorrow afternoon possibly I think so I believe my schedule says I keep everything in a schedule now so I don't lose my mind my sanity and don't lose what I'm doing I've also got a D20 in the shop that I've really got to get working on I gotta finish that FW900 there's like this I gotta finish the FW900 and that which the FW900 is literally just needing to get a couple windows adjustments that I'll run I'm not gonna run all the adjustments available for it but I'll run some of them and then shell put on it and then it'll be good now the D20 has not been started yet the D20 and the B&O and then a couple more and these will be in here over the weekend to keep me busy till mid to late August honestly right before the convention alright everything looking good right got everything looking good from this side now what we're gonna do is turn all our stuff off and I'm gonna need to clean up the back of this board here with some rubbing alcohol and brushes alright brush kit here we go let's get this guy cleaned up get it all cleaned up back together excuse me goodness gracious now this is okay and it probably wouldn't be an issue to leave it as it is right now but I'm not doing that because I like to have the boards be pretty clean if I can get them that way so over the boards some isopropyl alcohol try to put any pressure really on it that's too heavy because we don't want to bend it anymore even though that breaks up there and the power supplies thankfully are smaller smaller right not huge like the deflection board so often times it doesn't take as long to clean them I don't think I've ever used anything from B&O so I'm excited to see what the build quality is like inside and the features and the features yes sir so there's all that side now let's get on this broken side I can definitely see how it curves a little bit so it does make me a little concerned but I think this board is gonna be fine as far as functionality hopefully just once you see something sometimes you can't unsee it it's nice and stinky in here now a couple of fresh towels on here just gonna rub that on the back now kind of soak up some of that extra stuff that nasty stuff though makes DJ Bob so we could probably hook some tubes up sometime probably hook some tubes up sometime I've got a rejuvenator that doesn't really work probably blow up the tubes I'm working on that stupid machine so many times and it doesn't want to work for me and I'm talking about my rejuvenator really wish I could find one that I knew was good so this one is still kind of heavily saturated in alcohol obviously from what I did to it so it's gonna need a second to dry up I'm probably gonna go put it in front of a fan so I can get all that off there it's like that so it looks good but I need to blow all the residue blow up the tubes I know it doesn't really there's no climax to it there's no cool effect by putting the electron gun and just blowing up the electron guns I don't know how to make the tube implode without hitting it with something which maybe we could do that eventually too just not inside okay we're gonna have to give that a few minutes to get dried off now after all that it's quite a ordeal so we recapped it we reflowed all the solder don't know that we'll need we will need some brushes again but what do you guys think you have any questions I know we can do while we wait for that let's take a look at let's take a look at these capacitors we'll run them through the meter see how many of them show up as bad run them through the little testing meter that's supposed to tell me I'm supposed to do this in circuit and we're out of circuit but it's to tell me if these capacitors are bad on this scale here so let's go ahead and just check them out alright so here we have 35 volts 1000 microfarad let's put one on each and if we look down here this one's still reading good on an ESR meter right so that one could be good that's why the monitor still was working fine probably so if we take this next one now this one is a well this is a 47 microfarad 47 microfarad and 47 microfarads over here so right now this particular capacitor is actually in this yellow zone so it's suspect is what they call that so there's one that's suspicious if anything right we're going to put it like this that's a good one so we don't have to worry about that this will be suspicious and then we'll make another pile for red if anything shows up as bad this is a 470 microfarad so if it shows up anything over 0.1 on the very bottom whoops if it shows anything over 0.1 it's going to be bad ooh so yeah look we got a 0.2 so this is this is definitely suspicious and bad I mean so it should be in the bad pile okay good suspicious bad that's pretty funny how we had to just do 3 capacitors in a row like that to get good bad and the ugly so this is a 10 volt 47 microfarad so let's see what it's it's at 0.8 so whoop it's going up it's going up to 1.2 back to 0.8 so it's a suspect suspicious very sus another 10 microfarad so this one can go all the way up to 2 and still be considered good 1.0 so definitely not all the way to not even close to a suspect now 0.47 microfarads this can go all the way up this can have a high ESR right there it can go all the way up to like 6 and still be considered ooh but we're in the 8 we're in the 8 so we're suspicious and sometimes if it's bad it'll beep for you it'll say hey look man dream bad beep beep beep if it's good it'll just do a beep this is 22 22 microfarad wow that one got up there what did that say 1.2 for a 22 gosh that's so close to suspicious so suspicious it's just if it's one away it's suspicious oh man we got back to the holiday music alright guys one band's engine I just must have gone through birthday song again sorry about that next time we do a stream I'll have some new music and it's probably not too loud for you so you can't hear it this is a 1 microfarad not even getting a radio 2.0 but that's in the safe zone safe zone no wrong way so 1 microfarad gosh that's suspect so it's a 1 microfarad it's up in the yellow now this one is wider than I really care I don't want to stretch my tool out and just touch those so let me show you the solution here so just take these little clip on with alligator clips and I'll put the red end here on red and then I'll put that on the positive end of the capacitor okay and same thing go use the white one for the other end let's see what this says okay see we've got a nice good reading there let's say it's jumping around 5 to 2.0 2.0 is what we're sitting on and for a 560 microfarad my goodness 560 microfarad oh yeah that's way red so this big filter cap is reading bad definitely time to change that one out glad we did that one stretch my tool out yeah I don't want to stretch unnecessarily tool stretching so there you go we got two of them that were reading pretty much bad these two now the monitor still functioned and these caps are not leaking visibly or any kind of invisible in any visible danger these red is suspicious meaning they should not be trusted their suspects all five of these and the minority group well no actually sorry the smaller group would have been the bad ones there's only two of those there's three of the good ones these red good ones all red good let me go see how our board is drying we'll bring it back in here and final cleaning on it and we'll do some QA steps on it and then see should have plenty of time to test it there shouldn't be any reason why we can't test it you guys have been so nice to sit here through this whole class today right should at least be able to see if it works now let's see how we did everything is looking pretty good we're going to dust off all that nasty dust residue alcohol residue whatever we want to call that stuff from the like dust mixed with our rubbing alcohol so we're going to take this brush which is a non-conductive paint brush and just knock a lot of that off now we are painting like Bob Ross this is this is your Bob Ross moment okay flip over and that's pretty much it goodness clean clean clean about that see how much better that looks so we call cleaned up and let me get the shelf you're never going to get these things fully like spotless without a device like an ultrasonic cleaner but if you want to go and do what I'm doing like brush over it 3, 4, 5 times it does get more and more of that debris off there we have it folks there we have it ah you're welcome Andres thank you so let's set this and reinstall this in our board here push down so we can get snapped in like that clean it one more time okay this is it recap wonderful F board I don't believe there's a piece of shielding normally that goes over this one maybe there isn't a check now so here's the big question can I plug in my other camera and have it show up it's been unplugged the whole time let's see I'll try I'll shut down sometimes my system gets a little overdone if I put in too many too many peripherals let's see if the shop cam will just show up no of course not so okay I don't think I'll be able to get that let me see if I can press maybe oh there we go hang on gonna do that okay great there we go now you can see me right so this is the other camera and I was trying to get to work let's see if the shop view will just of course the shop view is not working by itself okay hang on let me let me add there we go okay there we go sorry guys I'm gonna move this around so there's our 1340 up there I'm sorry about this camera view it's just not coming to the other oh you're fine to ask questions I just don't sometimes see them I'm sorry my cheese hang on if this works I'll be able to answer some questions but I'm gonna try to install this real quick and we're just gonna test and see and then no matter what happens I'll probably take a break and answer some questions after I and try this out so again I'm taking the power supply we just worked on and we're gonna move over here put it in okay now it's gonna you're not gonna be able to see anything on this until I plug in the console alright alright folks we need some of those big bucks no whammies here we're about to turn this thing on and see what it does everything's everything sounded normal everything sounded normal there we go alright hooray it's all good everybody see if I can add my face in here should be able to hello hello you lovely machine so wonderful so wonderful of you to work for us so it's live feed right there folks right over here to the side of me so audio out I don't know what you're trying to do for audio out if you want to ask your question let's see I have a 14.02 connected to external speakers I run straight from the cable not from the monitor not sure I'm gonna ask you a question again but maybe Keith got you straight now thanks for coming in Keith yeah if you have an it is sure with the audio on these monitors it's best to just say almost screw it and not use it the bvms and higher end monitors didn't even have speakers this is a pvm thing yeah you just need to get something adjustable you can't you can't like run something into the pvm and have it not this model or that 14.02 now if it was something like a 20 30 25 30 that have the built-in stereo audio amps then you can add speakers that are different to it but not this one guys that is it how about that we got it fixed I want to thank everybody today for joining me we hit two hours on this stream 430 is about a good time to let it sit here and I'm gonna let run for a few hours just to make sure there's no issues that power supply should be good now after I repair now we could have gone if that would have been any more severe or a board that I was worried about shorting out against anything I would have put some new solder mask on it after cleaning it and I may go back and do that I'm not sure it doesn't really seem very necessary for the particular repairs we did today but that would be also a good touch for that circuit board but definitely had fun with you guys today thank you for showing up and if you missed anything you want to go back to the beginning this stream has been pretty much not a lot of fluff and nonsense we just been here for two hours repairing and restoring this power supply so that's a good idea look at that two hours of labor about 10 capacitors a little bit of solder and other materials and that's a pretty normal job so what I'll do now is I will come back and I'm gonna recap the chassis for the main board as well as do the neck board so if I have time tomorrow I might come on do just a short one where we work on the neck board and then maybe get some things ready for the main board okay so if you want to come back tomorrow put your alerts on and I possibly will be streaming around this time tomorrow if not tomorrow then Friday have a great rest of your day I'll see you in the next one


Lesson 359. God's answer is some form of peace. All pain is healed. All misery replaced with joy. All prison doors are opened and all sin is understood as merely a mistake. Father, today we will forgive your world and let creation be your own. We have misunderstood all things, but we have not made sinners of the holy sons of God. What you created sinless so abides forever and forever. Such are we and we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. Sin is impossible and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. Help us forgive for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive for we would be at peace.


My name is not normally this large, but since it was a TED talk, they adopted the TED format. So my topic is a little different, but I think it does fuse the peace box and the war box that we heard earlier because it's very much a dimension of global security, and I would argue, and I hope you'll agree at the end of my talk, this is a domain which is very much an emergent threat but neglected. It is infectious disease at one level, and it's relentless dynamics. We are facing old foes resurgent. Most dangerous place now in America is a hospital in terms of antibiotic resistant infections. If someone had to say to me, what do I consider to be the biggest single infectious disease threat? It is still pandemic flu. We have the much publicized Hollywood apocalyptic dimension of new diseases like Ebola. Things move fast around the world, and we must of course add to this bioterrorism, and as I'll end with my talk, new technologies will in fact alter this entire dynamic. But we again have a silo problem, and that is the fact we've tended to look at human health separate from animal health, separate from ecosystem health. They're inextricably linked. Most of the diseases that now affect us are called zoonoses. They come from animals. At the same time, strategically, how do we feed 9 billion people going forward? Are the 6 billion people with us today? Two billion of them don't have access to clean water. Almost a million don't have access to adequate water. We're depleting natural resources, new patterns of agriculture are giving rise to new patterns of disease. Climate change is altering vector spread, and it would be generous to say that the World Health Organization even has a biosurveillance, let us euphemistically call it fragile at best. But it is this, disease burden, apart from its horrific impact on those affected, is in fact a source of global instability. In adequate infrastructure, so there is Ebola. At the same time, distrust of authorities and individuals who escape from a quarantine facility being bundled back in. The dreaded triad of poverty, illiteracy, combined with infectious disease, the omnipresent issue of famine, 40 million orphans, courtesy of HIV in Africa, has filled the child soldier problem, where it could in fact for the refugee crisis actually put the Congo there rather than the much more publicized one in Europe. But either way, the military implications of this are substantial, either by humanitarian intervention or when the military has to be deployed to a hot zone, courtesy of the economic political instabilities that these types of burdens will create. At the same time, in a world of global transport with almost a billion people moving around the world, we have rapid spread. We had five cases of Ebola passively transferred to the United States. At the same time, that 1.5 million cases of chicken younger were spread in the Caribbean base and the reason most of you didn't know about it is because it's too complex a word for most newscasters to pronounce. But we have to basically look at this in terms of the context of comprehensive global bias surveillance.  Not just pandemic flu, HIV had its origins in monkeys and primates. West Nile are complex interplay between animals. MERS in the Middle East. Ebola, probably the primary vector of reservoir source, is bats. A huge bushmeat food chain in Africa and of course the tragedy we're seeing now unfolding courtesy of Zika with microcephalic children. The problem line is what's out there because we have almost a million people a day moving into urban zones. 52% of the world now lives in urban zones and a significant fraction of those live in slums. The worst possible situation, high population density for the transmission of infection and those urban magopalai, particularly in Asia, Africa and South America are pushing out into virgin eco-terrain where in fact we dare find these new exotic organisms that we've never seen before. The zoonotic threat, courtesy of urbanization and of course once again inadequate infrastructure. Military operations must consider operating in collapsing urban environments. The joint urban operations doctrine gives scant attention to this. It is not simply the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan. It's more a Mogadishu on steroids. How do you protect the force when deployed into a hot zone as they were in the case of Ebola? But it is a collapse in civil disorder will be the norm in these urban magopalai into which they will be deployed and if you look at the Quadranial Defense Review this issue barely surfaces at all. If there's one thing where we should be investing it is biosurveillance, our capability to understand what's out there and there are three dimensions to that as there is in any intelligence. How do you find out what is out there to profile it? Finding the genetic signatures of these new organisms, having rapid deployable point of care mechanisms to detect it and then to have real-time situational awareness to respond to that threat. We have to sample broadly. One always sends one's best graduate students to sample the nostrils of seals but that means if their paper only gets a B. The bottom line is the fact that we have this broad spectrum of regional species, real-time. The beast on the hip has become a very real mode of reporting information, upload that information for real-time intelligence whether it be the distribution of infection in Washington, D.C., the availability of hospitals, movement and so forth. Critical issue to move from ground zero data to real-time intelligence. But if you don't have drugs and vaccines, isn't this a telling picture? There is a physician from the bubonic plague in the 15th century, note the resemblance when we have no drug and no vaccine in Liberia, a telling similarity. It's a societal choice. Do we want vaccines or Viagra? We've basically got out of the business of making new vaccines simply because we're not prepared to pay for them. If we're going to deal with these issues, we're going to have to re-incentivize industry to re-engage. Industry spent over $110 million engaging on Ebola and then suddenly it's out of sight, out of mind. That's $110 million they have to bear as a loss on their balance sheets. We have to be far more proactive. Out of sight, out of mind by definition. Comfort and complacency are always the enemies of vigilance and preparedness whether it be nations, corporations or sports teams. 1947, penicillin. It was predictable that in 2010 we would have a growing antibiotic resistance problem. We now have the first organisms with us which are resistant to every single antibiotic that we have. Slow mobilization. Polio is a national priority. We mobilized all skill. It was a war against polio now. So there is a national blueprint for biodefense from Tom Ridge and Joe Lieberman, which I was pleased to serve as a member of that. It's a devastating indictment of the absolute lack of preparedness of this nation, indeed global preparedness against whether the assault be natural organisms or bioterrorism. And since 9-11 we have basically dissipated billions of dollars with no real response and most importantly no accountability for that. And then there's the future where I basically live. The question was raised earlier this morning. We're in the era of digital biology, it from bits. Every piece of DNA is merely digital. I can send it around the world and have a virus synthesized on the other side of the world the next day. That's where we are. At the same time, dual use technologies, the same information being used for beneficent purposes and malevolent purposes. That threat is growing but it's no longer bugs. It's the circuit diagram of every one of the 276 different cell types that exist in your body. That's obviously the future of precision medicine, but it is also the future that if we know the circuit diagram we can screw it up. And obviously one of the obvious issues of great concern is that in relation to cognitive and sensory functions in the brain and if we think we are alone the biggest genetic center in the world is in China, that's the Beijing Genome Institute with a powerful computational capacity. At least the intelligence community understands this. This is DNI Clapper's recent report and gene editing now makes the top six threats that he views as the most existential. But what we have to bear in mind ladies and gentlemen is the fact that this is a technology diffusion which was emphasized this morning. It's quick, it's rapid, high school students can do some of this now. What a person won a Nobel Prize for 20 years ago, my grandchildren are doing. The Chemical and Biological Weapons Convention is totally outmoded. This is not some saturation stuff dropped from the sky. This is very subtle bioengineering and this is here ladies and gentlemen today. This is not something for tomorrow. So I've given you a very superficial surf across a very broad multi-dimensional challenge. We have to think about health now on a global scale not just about us anthropocentric dimensions but the interrelationship of human, animal and ecosystems, globalization and urbanization are giving rise to new disease patterns. Those will inevitably result in military intervention whether humanitarian or overt conflict. We need to have global bias of violence capabilities. Private sector must be re-incentivized to invest in this area and the symposium in its own right perhaps next year in future war is where will synthetic biology and the expanding dual use threat take us and we indeed have major gaps in our preparedness both at the level of strategy, policy and capabilities. So with 11 seconds left I hope that that is at least a superficial surf across a fascinating subject. Thank you.


The Anduin Institute was founded about three years after Ayn Rand herself died in order to promote her ideas, in order to bring her philosophy to the mainstream of America, to get young people to read her books and to engage with intellectuals with her ideas, to make it ultimately to try to change the world, to influence the world around us based on her philosophy. So what is Objectivism? I mean it's a philosophy, so it's a lot, but fundamentally it's the idea that reality is what it is. It's not what we believe it to be, it's not what some external force made it, it is the way it is and we have the capacity to know that reality and that capacity is the reason. So we don't know the truth through revelation, we don't know the truth through our feelings, we know it through our capacity to think, to be rational, to reason, to use our senses and the knowledge of our senses to integrate it into knowledge. And only individuals can reason. We can't, you know, other people can't eat for me, but they also can't think for me. Individuals can only think for themselves, so the unit in society, the unit in ethics and morality is the individual. So the individual's purpose in life according to Objectivism is the pursuit of his own happiness, the moral purpose of life is to pursue your happiness. And how do you do that? By using your mind in order to choose the values necessary for your own survival and flourishing as a human being. So, Ayn Rand was against sacrificing to other people and making other people the focus of your morality of your life, but she was also against having other people sacrifice to you so that using other people, you treat other people on the basis of a trader relationship, mutual beneficial, win-win trade relationship. And then, of course, the only political system that really allows individuals to pursue their happiness that leaves them free to use their mind, to make their choices, to pursue the values that they deem necessary for their own life is capitalism. Capitalism is a system that protects us from the enemy of reason that is force. It is a system that leaves us free to pursue our values using our mind as our guide, so she was obviously against all forms of statism from socialism to fascism to the kind of mixed economies that exist today in the world. She believed in real capitalism, a capitalism where the government only does one thing and that is protect our freedom, protect our individual rights, our right to pursue our life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness, a government that basically had a police, a military and a judiciary and that is it. Well first, it's not just Koreans. Everybody thinks these ideas are somewhat strange because they've never encountered them. So the first thing is that people have never heard it before.  People were all taught, whether in the Eastern cultures and in Western cultures, that the purpose of life is to serve others, it's other people's happiness, or at least you should really, really concern yourself with them, right? And we believe that even though we don't live those lives. So most people pursue their own values, which is our careers. We try to make ourselves as happy as we can. We want our children to be successful. So we're torn between the moral duty to care for others and the reality where we live our own lives for ourselves and that creates guilt and part of what Objectivism says is, why are you feeling guilty? Why does this conflict exist? So I think it's important to understand what these ideas really mean, what self-interest really means. And Iron Man didn't believe that selfishness meant lying, cheating or stealing, because she didn't think lying, cheating or stealing are good for you. If you really think about it, you know, people who lie all the time, they don't succeed, maybe in politics. But in no other field in life do they succeed. And even the ones who succeed in politics, they're never happy. Happiness doesn't come from lying. Happiness doesn't come from cheating, stealing. You might be able to get money, but the money at the end of the day is meaningless to you if you didn't earn it. So Iron Man's self-interest is about using your mind based on reality to discover the principles that lead you to live the best life that you can live, the happiest life that you can live. It means treating other people as values, as potential values that you can trade with both at the material level, like when we go to shopping and we trade, but also at the spiritual level.  So it's about treating other people as end in themselves who you can then trade with, with the goal of making your own life better. And capitalism is just a system that leaves us free to do exactly that. Capitalism is not, you see capitalism gets blamed for all the problems that exist in a mixed economy. So capitalism is not what caused the financial crisis. Capitalism is not what caused the Great Depression or the Asian financial crisis or all these things, but it's always blamed for those things because it's easy for us to blame capitalism because capitalism is viewed as self-interested and it is self-interested, but we have a negative perception of self-interest. Capitalism really is just about freedom and it turns out when you leave people free, then what they do is they, many of them become entrepreneurs and they create jobs and they create businesses and they create, some of them, some people become artists or some people become teachers and people pursue their dreams. People do the things that they're good at at whatever level that they can. And what you get are thriving, successful, industrious and very wealthy countries, everywhere in the world, wherever it is tried. No system in human history has brought people out of poverty except capitalism. So it works and it's moral because it leaves you free to pursue your happiness, to pursue your life, to pursue your values. And we shouldn't confuse again capitalism with the system we have today where the government is intervening constantly and writing all kinds of rules that distort the marketplace and distort our ability to trade in win-win relationship. The government steps in in the middle and says, oh no, no, no, you can't pay them that much, you can't treat them that way, you can't buy that product, you can't facilitate that relationship. It's the government that distorts capitalism and perverts it. So I think if people truly understood what self-interest is, it's really what they want. Don't we all want to be happy? Don't we all want to be successful at living, not just in our careers, but in every aspect of our lives? I think Ayn Rand's philosophy is a philosophy of success. It's a philosophy for living. She called it a philosophy for living on earth, on this earth. So it really is that. And capitalism, of course, everybody should be pro-capitalism because it's good for anybody who's willing to work for living, anybody who's willing to work hard. Capitalism benefits. And it's rewarding not only materially, but it's rewarding spiritually because you get to do what you want to do. You're not driven by an authority that is using coercion to tell you what you can or cannot do. Well, I agree that capitalism is under threat. But capitalism under threat, it's because it hasn't been defended properly. So during the financial crisis, everybody said capitalism has failed. And nobody stood up and said, no, capitalism has not failed. Our mixed economy has failed. Our regulatory system has failed. But capitalism has not been tried. How could it fail? It's not true that in 2007, the financial industry in the United States was completely free of regulation. Quite the contrary. Banking in the financial industry in the US is the most regulated industry in the country. And it was the most regulated industry in 2007 and 2008 when the financial crisis happened. It is a failure of those regulations that caused the crisis. And then if you add to that, the fact that the one product that banks and financial institutions deal with, money, is monopolized by government. There's a Federal Reserve. There's a South Korean central bank. And the government monopolizes the issuance of money. It controls the interest rate, which is the most important and the most complex price in the economy.  We wouldn't let them design an iPhone. We wouldn't let them price bread, but we'll let them price interest rates. So it's no wonder financial crisis happened. So if you look at the financial crisis objectively, what happened in 2008, the causes of it are exactly those. I'd say regulation and the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates from 2002 to 2005 below the rate of inflation for 2 and 1 half years. I'm a finance guy. My training is in finance. If you create negative real interest rates, which is what they had, you're distorting markets. And you're encouraging people to take on debt. So what happened in America between 2002 and 2005 is everybody borrowed money. And where did the money go? The money went right into mortgages, right into housing. Why into housing? Because another part of the government was saying, we want more people to own homes. We want everybody to own a home. We want to go from 63% of home ownership to over 70% of home ownership. So we're going to subsidize it. We're going to encourage everybody to have a home. So you had Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. And European banks and American banks were encouraged to own the new packaged mortgages. So for example, European banks, if they held a portfolio of American mortgage-backed securities, which is repackaged mortgages, they didn't have to hold any capital against that. That was considered zero risk. So even European regulators and American all encouraged banks to load up on this stuff. The rating agencies are regulated. And then the banks on top of that are told, don't worry. If you make money, you can keep it. And if you lose money, we'll bail you out, called Tubic to Fail. And Tubic to Fail has been around in America since 1984 when Continental Illinois, a very large bank in Chicago, was bailed out by the feds. And every time you look deeply in the financial crisis, and I've got a course, a six-hour course online on the financial crisis, where I peel the onion and go deeper and deeper, what you find is regulation that distorted this, regulation that distorted that. Markets don't create systemic risk. Markets don't create massive financial crises. Only government programs can do that. And in this case, it was housing policy, the Federal Reserve and the overlay of regulations on the banks, including the investment banks had made it possible. Lehman Brothers was leveraged 30 to 1. In a free market, no financial institution would ever be leveraged 30 to 1. It is because the regulators allowed them and then gave them a Tubic to Fail blanket that they could go to 30 to 1 in the bond market, lent them money because they believed they would be bailed out. And when Lehman went bankrupt, what was the most shocking thing about it is the surprise that the government didn't bail them out because everybody expected them to be bailed out. Everything was priced as if they were gonna be bailed out. And the shock to the system was, wait a minute, the government promised it didn't fulfill. And of course 24 hours later, if you remember, AIG was bailed out. So the market got the signal, we bail out some people, but we don't bail out other people, and we're not telling you who are bailing out and who not, which created massive uncertainty and drove the markets into greater crisis. So government caused the crisis and then made the crisis much worse. Well, I think it's very scary, but I think it's the consequence of the education that these young people are getting in the high schools and schools and in the universities. So I mentioned before that Ayn Rand was an advocate of reason and a rational self-interested. When you teach people that reason is not efficacious, it's not the way in which we learn about the world. When we tell people that their knowledge is determined by the color of their skin or by the environment they grew up or by some other form of revelation, or we need experts, knowledge is only available from experts, kind of a Plato's view that the world, real knowledge is only available to the philosopher kings. You get young people who think that they can't take care of themselves. Or if they can take care of themselves because they're very smart, other people can't take care of themselves. I hear this all the time, but those people can't take care of themselves. That's pretty arrogant to say that somebody can't take care. We all have the capacity to reason therefore we all can take care of ourselves. So Bernie Sanders and AOC come along and say, yes, those people can't take care of themselves because knowledge is so hard, knowledge is only for us, for kings have knowledge, they can't take care of themselves, the government has to take care of them. You need to take care of them. So one, we undercut reason. Secondly, we tell people, it's your more responsibility to take care of them. It's your more responsibility to take care of the poor, the suffering, the needy, fill in the blank, whoever needs something. So it's undercutting the idea of reason and undercutting the idea of egoism or the idea of rational self-interest which makes this appeal of Bernie Sanders and AOC so prevalent. Altruism demands that we help others. Well, the government's just helping us be good altruists. And again, if knowledge is not available to everybody, then we need experts, we need politicians, we need bureaucrats to tell us how to do what we do, how to live our lives. So both Bernie and AOC offer these simple solutions. Don't think, we'll think for you. Don't worry, we'll take care of you. We'll give you safety and you can be numb, you don't have to think and we'll take care of you. And unfortunately, given the educational system that has become quite appealing. Even on the regulation side, think about why they wanna regulate everything. The reason they wanna regulate everything is because the biggest sin in the world is to be self-interested. And we know that businessmen are self-interested. That's obvious, they're out to make money. They're out for a profit, they enjoy what they do. They're having fun. That is unacceptable morally. So we have to control them, we have to regulate them. And we also know that self-interest is always associated, supposedly, with lying, stealing, and cheating. They're all crooks, right? It's like their perception of Lehman Brothers. Like there was no fraud in Lehman Brothers, they just went bankrupt, businesses go bankrupt. But we perceive it as fraud. And therefore, we need more regulations, more controls to catch all the crooks. We know there are crooks because they're self-interested. So to a large extent, what's driving the United States and the world towards these kind of statist ideas, the ideas of the centrality of the state is philosophies, philosophical ideas about epistemology, about how we know about the world. And in ethics, what's most important about the world. And of course, a lack of understanding of what capitalism really is and how it works. So, I mean, I think of capitalism as the system where we have a separation of state from economics completely. That to me is capitalism. What we have today are these mixed economies. We have some freedom, and we have a lot of controls. And it's true that in order to maintain the redistributive states, in order to maintain the power of the politicians, we need to leave, you know, they need to leave some people a little bit of freedom. So socialism can't exist. What, it can only exist as Venezuela, as poverty and death and starvation. So what they do is they give businessmen a little bit of freedom, so they create a little bit of wealth, and then you tax it away and you regulate and control it. But you give them just enough so you can sustain the system. You've seen that all over the West.  She's seeing riots in France and a lot of angst in Europe. The people are upset with the current system. The current system is we keep the capitalists alive long enough.  But the people are not happy with their welfare state. They want more. And you know, but on the other hand, they don't want to fear the capitalist because they're the bad guys and they're evil. So you're seeing this dynamic, but if I understand the question right, I think it's correct and exploiting it and stealing from the people who create to provide to those who don't. Yes, there's no question in my mind that it's government policy that's causing the low growth in the economy. Wage-led growth is getting economics upside down, backwards completely. What drives economics is production. What drives the economy is innovation and entrepreneurship. It's business creation. Wages follow. Wages are consequence of increasing productivity. You don't lead with wages. Wages are consequences, not causes. But this is a consequence of the idea that what drives an economy is consumption, which exists in America and exists in Europe. This is what Neil Keynesian had promoted.  And that's just false on its face. It's just wrong. Because if you think about it, how do we consume? Where do we get the money in order to consume? Real money. Well, we have to work. So we have to produce first in order to consume. And then what do we consume? We consume something that somebody had to produce. In a sense, there have to be two acts of production for every act of consumption. For every time I buy something, there has to be somebody who produced it, and I had to produce something in the past in order to have the money in order to consume it. What drives an economy is production. Economic policies that are pro-growth. Economic policies that are pro-entrepreneurship, that are pro-the innovator, that are pro-business, that are pro-producers of any form. Small businesses, medium-sized businesses, large businesses. And I think the Korean model, even in the past, has been defective in the sense that it emphasized big businesses, that there was too much collaboration of government with business. But true economic growth will come as the government exits the attempt to try to manipulate the economy and frees up capital and business to start new ventures, to expand, to grow, to allow for entrepreneurial activity to create new businesses. Wages will follow.  Capital is invested in increasing productivity. Every businessman makes money by making his workers more productive, which means in the end, by paying them more. But what has to lead is production. And you see, production comes from the human mind. Production comes from ideas. Production comes from little ideas that might increase productivity here or there. And big ideas that entrepreneur might change the whole industry. Ideas come from freedom of thought. Ideas come from the government leaving us alone, providing, not providing any kind of incentives, just letting people act on their own behalf and try to figure out solutions without government authorities telling them, this is acceptable, this is not, this you can do, this you cannot, this you can build, this you cannot. We shouldn't live in a permissioned society. We should live in a free society. And economic freedom is what drives economic growth. If you want economic growth, get the government out of trying to manipulate the economy. So you're absolutely right about entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is what drives an economy forward. It's new ideas, implemented, created, built. I mean the U.S. economy to a large extent relies on Silicon Valley for its growth, for its success, for its prosperity. And it's because there's an entrepreneurial culture that the government is trying to destroy, but that somehow resists it and keeps going. And I think careers lacking entrepreneurs, I think places like Japan and the whole world, to the extent that you have a healthy entrepreneurial culture, to that extent you will grow and you will succeed. And I think if you look at the history of Korea, if you look at the history of Japan, it's those entrepreneurs that created the economic growth in the past. And it's to that you have to return to creating that great entrepreneurial spirit. And entrepreneurs require one thing. And it's just one thing, and that's freedom. It's the freedom to act. It's the freedom to think, to come up with ideas and then act on them without getting permission. They need to convince the capitalist to give them money. They need to convince people to buy their product, but they don't need us to get permission from the government. So that kind of mentality. The other thing is that the welfare state creates an environment in which people want to be safe. Right, don't worry, we'll give you stuff. So don't be ambitious. Don't take risks. But entrepreneurship is about risk taking. And I would say life is about risk taking.  It means taking risks. Life is boring if one doesn't take risks. And yet the government through its regulatory policies, through the welfare state is discouraging, and I think through our educational systems, is discouraging risk taking, destroying potential entrepreneurs of the future. And more than that, destroying the lives of the individuals because they're not gonna view life with ambition. So to get entrepreneurs spirit back, you need freedom and you need a different educational system. And we need to phase out the welfare state so that people are encouraged to pursue their own values, to pursue risk taking. Who is the John Galt of the 21st century? I mean, I don't think there is one. John Galt is an important figure in Atlas Shrugged. Of course, the figure that drives the action. I encourage everybody, by the way, to read Atlas Shrugged. If you're interested in capitalism, if you're interested in freedom, and then Atlas Shrugged and the Founta had had the two most important books that you should read. And I think if we got more people to read the books, I think ultimately, that's how you change the culture, that's how you educate them, and hopefully that'll have an impact on the culture. John Galt is a literary figure. There is no one John Galt, and there never will be one John Galt. But in many respects, every individual has the potential to be John Galt in your own life. I mean, who is John Galt? At the end of the day, John Galt is a man who takes his life seriously, who fights for his own values and pursues them without any compromise and without giving an inch.  So they take their life seriously every single minute of the day and strive to be the best that they can be during those minutes. And understand that our lives are shaped by ideas and that we need to take our ideas seriously. And at the end of the day, the world is gonna be determined by the ideas that we hold. So he is an educator. He gives us lots of speeches, Galt does. But he is a man who takes his life and he understands the importance of reason in guiding his own life. That's who he is. So everybody, every man and woman on planet Earth has the potential to be a John Galt. And when they will become John Galt, that's when we'll live in a free society. Equal is unfair. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.


Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Denali. Welcome to my channel if you guys are new and if you are new, definitely hit that subscribe button. And if you are already subscribed, make sure your post notifications are turned on so you never miss a video of mine. In the past year or so, I've been really into cooking, trying new recipes and just like all things kitchen. I'm like randomly obsessed with kitchen gadgets and I cannot stop myself from buying more. But this video is going to be all about the beautiful caraway pans. So I think the first time I saw and heard about caraway was literally just through the Instagram explore page and when I saw these stunning pans, I just knew I had to have them in my kitchen. So I started my research on why I should get these caraway pans and I thought I would just read a couple of things on their website to you guys because I think it's very interesting and you know could help you learn about caraways brand more. So first they're non-toxic, which obviously I would hope you're cooking with non-toxic pans because you're literally putting the food that is made with these pans in your body. Also they pride themselves on their pans being very easy for cooking. So the pans are ceramic, which naturally is like a slick surface, which means minimal oil, less calories and just easy for like things to slide around and cook and also way easy to clean and we'll get into that later on. They have a beautiful design. They're minimal but so stunning for any kitchen. They're eco-friendly because the cookware releases up to 60% less CO2 into the environment compared to traditional non-stick coatings. And to top it all off, the packaging that these pans come in is sustainable. Speaking of their packaging, I was honestly speechless when I opened it up because it was beautifully laid out and everything was like packaged really well. So I knew everything was completely safe during shipping. First things first, caraway pans, at least the bundle comes with this magnetized organizer for your cabinet as well as an organizer for the lids of your pans, which unfortunately my cabinet doors are not big enough for that thing. So I just kind of had to put it in the cabinet like on the side and also there's like a middle kind of pole. So my magnetized organizer can't be all together, which kind of is sad but it still looks super cool and that is definitely something that intrigued me because I had so many random pots and pans and to be honest when it came to cooking and I had to open that pan cabinet up, I just got so anxious because I knew everything was going to fall everywhere. So ever since donating my old pans and having these caraway pans with that organizer, I just feel like so much better about cooking and it's not just something I dread going into that cabinet. I'm all about the aesthetics in life and just like romanticizing the little thing. So if you'd romanticize cooking with this aesthetic cookware, why freaking not? So like I said, that's why I had to have them. So now let's get into what all the bundle comes with. Like I said, it does come with the two organizers. So the pan organizer and then it comes with the lid organizer. So then it comes with a frying pan, which is 10.5 inches. It's like a perfect size pan to make like a small breakfast, maybe just for yourself or two people. I always use this to just make my eggs in the morning. And then this one is a sauté pan. Can't hold these up for too much longer, but you can kind of see the difference in the steepness in both of them. Then we have the three quart sauce pan, which is great for just like cooking rice, mac and cheese, risotto, anything like that. Lastly, we have the 6.5 quart Dutch oven and this can be used for making a whole pot of pasta, stews, boils, all that kind of stuff. The great thing about these pans is that they are oven safe up to 550 degrees. So you can put these in the oven, which definitely makes that a lot different from other Instagram famous pan brands, I would say. I think I've been using these for about like a couple months now. And I wanted to show you guys how they kind of wear because the reason why I had to donate my other pan, which was the always pan, I was like really obsessed with it, loved it. And then I think about a year went by and the nonstick was absolutely not there anymore. I remember one morning I woke up and wanted to make eggs and I was like, there's no way this egg is coming off this pan. And I didn't want to scrub it because you're not really supposed to scrub it either. So I was like, I just have to say goodbye. So I know it hasn't been a year with these pans, but the nonstick is definitely a bit different than the always pan. And I just feel like things glide around a lot smoother in these caraway pans.  But I will show you guys the back of this one. I have been using this one probably the most. This is again the fry pan. And it does have these brown spots up here if you can see caraway has so many beautiful colors. And although I definitely like to stick to my neutrals, I think it would be like smarter to get a colored pan because you won't be able to see the wear and tear as much. I quickly wanted to go into my experience with the our place always pan because I really did love it at first. And I really hated that it didn't work out for me. But I just wanted to go over some of the differences between the two pans. I already told you guys my egg story and how I couldn't get it off a year later. So the nonstick was just not there anymore. I truly don't see that happening with this pan. Like I said, like if I make eggs, they're sliding all around, which I really like because it does take like less oil to cook everything. And the fact that these pans are so insanely easy to clean definitely encourages me to cook more because we all know the worst part about cooking is the cleaning afterwards. I did think the always pan was cool because they had this little spoon that came with it. And there was this attachment that you could place the spoon right on top of the pan. But I do feel like there are probably spoons out there that are universal to other pans. Earlier in this video, I mentioned that the caraway pans are oven safe, but the always pan is not oven safe. So if you wanted to cook a steak in the saute pan, you could put it in the oven first and then take it out and steer it in the same pan. And this just leads to less pots and pans that you have to clean. Another thing I noticed about the always pan is that some of the handles or where you would think you would be able to touch would be super freaking hot. And I guess you are supposed to maybe use like gloves and mitts and stuff, but I personally don't think that handle should get hot. And I've noticed that the caraway pans don't really get hot, especially with like quick cooking. I mean, you know, if something is on the stove for like a long time, it's definitely going to get pretty warm. But overall, like I have not really noticed handles getting hot, which is amazing. If you guys are longtime followers, you know that aesthetics are definitely something I take into account, especially when investing in a big purchase like this, I think our place was the first aesthetic pans I saw on Instagram. And then I saw these caraway pans and I will give it to caraway that they are even more beautiful. And the texture is very different on the outside. So on the caraway pans, it's just like a smooth texture on the outer part. And the always pan had this like grainy, like almost like sand like texture, which at first I thought was cool just because you know, it was neutral and stuff. But now definitely looking at the difference between them, I prefer the look of the caraway pans. I thought it would be fun to add a little bit of a cooking portion into this video just so you can see how well the nonstick glides and how easy it is to clean. So let's get right into it wraps up this review of the caraway pans. I hope you guys enjoyed it and learned a little bit more about caraway. And let me know in the comments if you guys have tried out caraway pans and your thoughts on them. I do have a discount code if you guys are interested in trying out these pans. So I will link it down below because I'm pretty sure the code is in the link. So you will get 10% off if you use that link. And that's on top of the already discounted bundles. So that is such a good deal. Not only are caraway's products very aesthetic, but they're definitely an investment in your kitchen and help. If you guys are purchasing your pans very soon, let me know which color you guys are getting. Are you going to stick to the neutrals or get a funky color? Let me know in the comments down below. And I will see y'all in my next video. Bye.


The Scrap Weapons team is building on the United Nations Secretary General's call for global ceasefire in all corners of the world. As the disease causes death, poverty, violence and confrontations, states and corporations must harness their capability to divert military modernization, procurement and operational budgets. There is a necessary complementary measure towards the delay, containment and eradication of the COVID-19 coronavirus. I'm going to speak about the why behind the campaign. Why are we calling for a freeze on weapons production and supply? The global military expenditure rose to $1.917 trillion in 2019. This represents an increase of 3.6% from 2018 and it is the largest annual growth in spending since 2010. Search also shows a correlation between military and healthcare expenditure. For every 1% increase in military expenditure, we see a 0.62% decrease in healthcare. This trade-off is worse in poorer countries who see a 0.962% drop for the same. This adds an important risk factor to the health and individual well-being of the population. We need to realize that this pandemic, this global crisis has exposed the fractures in the healthcare infrastructure and the public welfare systems in place. We are posing freeze weapons on the basis of unilateral tools in the form of declarations by governments or national parliaments that can eventually inspire positive effects and multilateral action. Of the range of legal equities available to states, a moratorium appears to be the most obvious and practical choice. This is because a moratorium is temporary. It is a temporary suspension or postponement of normal practice and it can be established by legally binding agreements or resolutions or non-binding declarations.  Look at what actually makes up military expenditure at the state level. You find that it is very complex and it changes from state to state. For example, these budgets might include salaries and pensions of active and retired military personnel. They can also include the costs of purchasing new military hardware, weapons, ammunition, and even hardware maintenance. So if we want governments to reduce military spending, then we must be able to overcome these practical concerns. States must be able to instigate reductions that are sensitive to their genuine national security concerns. We must also be able to carry out assessments of wasteful and excessive military spending and be encouraged to identify specific economic and social projects that are important to their citizens, which can be financed totally or in part by funds free from reducing the military expenditures. Why? We are asking for all these signatures from other organizations before we bring it to the Secretary General's office. It's because they have already indicated that they are more likely to back the campaign to a declaration of their own if we can build a sizeable coalition of already recognized civil society organizations. Oxfam approaches this question from the point of view of a humanitarian agency. So after the Secretary General launched his call for a global ceasefire, which made eminent sense to us, we started looking at what was happening on the ground. Oxfam is therefore happy supporting the Freeze Weapons campaign, which is showing the way to redirect resources from harmful production to production to meet human needs.


Welcome to All Hands Update, and this is your weekly update on Navy history. On September 23, 1779, one of the great battles of the American Revolutionary War took place off the coast of Yorkshire, England, when the frigate, Bynum Rashard, commanded by famed naval officer John Paul Jones, engaged the British warship HMS Serapis. In the battle, mostly fought by moonlight, Bynum Rashard grappled Serapis. With the two vessels lashed together and Bynum Rashard nearly destroyed, the British captain, Ash Jones, if you wish to surrender. To which he gave his famous reply, I have not yet begun to fight. The assistance of the Continental Frigate Alliance, Bynum Rashard fought through the night and captured Serapis. Two days later, Bynum Rashard sank as a result of the damage she sustained. If you enjoyed these facts and would like to know more, visit the Naval History and Heritage Command website.
