So now that you've determined that an applicant is competitive by their GPA, their patient care hours, they wrote a great essay, you think they're a good match for the school, and you've decided to invite them for an interview, what's something that makes an applicant stand out, and maybe are there any red flags during the interview process that you could think of that would make an applicant less competitive in the interview process? I talk with my colleagues at other schools a lot and we share that one of the best things an applicant can do and really an interview we can do is to be really familiar with the college that you're interviewing with. We just live in such a lucky day and age where you can find so much online. It's not like even when I went to college for the first time and you relied on these paper brochures to come in the mail, we don't really even mail anything anymore, it's all right at your fingertips. So whether it's exploring again the college's values and mission and what they stand for, the program or specific faculty coming to your interview with as much information you can already under your belt really makes your interview more engaging because you can skip all the intro stuff, you know, you don't have to spend time talking about the basics because you've already done your research. So when that happens, that really is a standout point for us for an applicant. They really, they came knowing a lot about us, they clearly are interested in us because they learned a lot through their research and they come with questions that are related to our program specifically. That's a great tip for applicants if you're invited to interview, to bring questions that are specific to the college you're interviewing with. As opposed to more generic questions, you know, about all PA programs or the PA profession very generally, it's really nice when an applicant can show that they've done that research, you know, on the specific school that they're interviewing with. So one thing to make an applicant stand out for your program specifically is to know about your program specifically, not just saying the answers to every program but know exactly when Lemoine was founded, why things like that or like any other specific reason. Yeah, we're certainly not looking for you to be a tour guide, right? So I don't need you to know like every rote fact about the college, but specifically about the mission and the values of the college, you know, we are different than a larger research institution in a big, big city. You know, we have a different feel. We have different, different pedagogy. We do things differently. So understanding that and understanding the type of program you're applying to is nice. But of course, you know, we're not going to ask you who was the first president of Lemoine or you know, what's this building called?  But we want to more so just know that you understand our mission, our identity. And then again, how does that relate to your values and your goals as a clinician down the road? And so if a student does want to research, for instance, Lemoine, your school, and they have an interview at your school, where would they find those values and all those things that they should research? Every college website, when you go on to any college website, there's almost always a call to action at the very top and it'll say either about us or info or fast facts and it'll tell you a lot about like the college's mission statement. And then you can kind of go into the program websites and start looking more specifically at the PA program websites. And very often, our creditors require us to put a lot of that information on our website. So a lot of that information is available. And of course, if there's something that you really feel is important and you're having trouble finding it, the admission office at any any college will be happy to guide you to that information too. Excellent. So just to kind of recap, one thing that definitely makes an applicant stand out in the interview process is knowing the colleges, the college that they're interviewing, the mission values, and then also being able to kind of dovetail those with their own values and explain why that person is a good fit for the college and the program and why the college and the program are a good fit for them as well. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Excellent. And so next question just off of that is, are there any common mistakes or red flags or anything during the interview process that would make somebody less competitive as an applicant? Oh, yeah. I have to laugh a little bit because it doesn't matter if you're applying to PA school or you're applying to an MBA program or you want to be a teacher and you're applying to an education program. Some of these common mistakes are just found everywhere. One that I would mention is saying that the school you're interviewing with is not your first choice or that you're applying because you didn't get into your first choice or there's some some illusion there that you're, you know, we weren't the ones that you were hoping to apply to. That can be very a quick deterrent for a faculty interviewer to say, what do you mean, you know, or what we tend to see in clinically based programs is I was trying to get into med school and so now I'm just going to try this instead. And it's like, well, you know, everyone has a life path and there's a way to explain that life path, but just to kind of unload that and make it seem as though this isn't something you really even researched and maybe you don't really even know that much about it can be a deterrent as well. So why don't you be really honest in your life path if that's what your life was and you were intending to do that, we value that, we think everybody has a good, you know, way that they got to us, but you want to be sensitive in the way you approach that topic if that's the case for you. So just with that, let's say somebody had been shooting from med school their whole life and then we discovered the PA profession during their shadowing experience and they decided, Hey, this is better for me.  Absolutely. Yeah, I think that again, as a Jesuit institution, having a really holistic review process, we oftentimes throw around the term cure a person Alice, right, care of the whole person. So we want to know that life story, you know, what, what did you do? Why did you apply there? How did you start a program and now you're not in it anymore? What happened? You know, and so we're really sensitive to the fact that everyone has a different path to getting here. You know, some people were were born with parents that were PAs and they knew from the second they could talk that they were going to be a PA. Other times, it's not something people discover until they've been in a career and this is almost like a second career for them. So it really, there's so many ways to come to this place. So being really transparent and honest in that, but being sensitive to the fact that, you know, this is a very competitive program and we want to make sure that if you've made the choice to apply to it that you've done the research and you understand truly what this, what this profession is. Alright, so number one on the list of things not to do is don't say that this is your second choice program or second choice career.  Don't do that. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. Think of it like your, I sort of, I sort of joke sometimes with students and say, think of it like you're interviewing someone to be your new best friend. Would you want that person to say, oh, you're great, but like I was really hoping to hang out with Cindy down the road, but you were just like available. It's a lot nicer if you know that person really is invested in you and they know a lot about you and they think you'd be a great best friend, you know, so it's a silly way to think of it, but kind of put it in that perspective. I think that's a good way to think of it. Alright, so can you give me one more thing someone shouldn't do during the interview? During the interview or during the admission process, like the full process or just at the interview? You know what? How about one of each? If you're invited to interview, it's because we believe that you could be a good fit for this program. And if you do your best and you are yourself and you do the absolute best you can do with the interview questions, that's all you can worry about. That's the part that's in your control. And anything else beyond that, what's happening with the committee and the faculty and the analysis of all of that, there's no, there's nothing a student can do to change that. So I always say, if you've been invited to interview, do your best to lose that imposter syndrome, this feeling that you don't belong there for some reason. You know, we see something in you and we want to learn more about it. So do your absolute best. You know, I've heard that before, like if you're invited to the interview, there's no rank order system anymore. You are possibly going to get one of those spots. It's all about performance at the interview from now on. Yeah. A lot of times what I'll tell applicants in our information sessions is, you know, once you get to the interview, it's almost like everyone's on even playing field, right? Like you've all been invited for some reason. So there's no reason to then be comparing yourself to the person next to you or the person to the right of you or left of you because you've both been invited on your same merit for whatever reason that was. So at that point, it's really a matter of just being yourself and remembering that it's a two-way interview, you know, competitive programs that can feel very much like you're on the spotlight and you're you're the one being critiqued and in many ways you are. But we're also, you're also critiquing us. You know, you're a competitive candidate, which means you have a choice of a number of programs likely in the country to explore. So the fact that you're interviewing with us is a reminder to us that, you know, we want to also recruit you to choose us if we should offer you an invitation. So it's a two-way interview. That's a really good point. And I know one common interview question is, do you have any questions for us? Yeah. The worst answer to that question is, no. No. Yeah, you want to put the other person not on the spot, but you want to know more about the program. Like, what is your favorite thing about this program? Why did you choose to teach here, whoever's interviewing you? Yeah. Yeah, those are all great. I mean, there's, you could, there's so many different ways you could go with that question. But when you're asked in an interview, do you have any questions? It can be an opportunity for you to learn more about the person interviewing you. It can be an opportunity to learn more about the college, learn more about the program, or an opportunity to really turn the question back around, you know, and say, you know, this is something in my experience that I've really valued. Does your program also value that? You know, does your faculty also have experience with that? So it can be an opportunity to also showcase something about yourself while getting a question answered. And many career services offices all at all different colleges offer a lot of help in that. So if you're an alumni, or even if you're finishing up your senior year, and you want to get some good interview practice, very often your undergraduate institution will have a career services office that can do a lot of really good prep with you on that. I will say this year is going to be different, right? We're in a pandemic year, there's just a lot of just different things that we're going to do. So this year will be the first time that Lemoine will do interviews virtually. And I would anticipate, and I'm learning that most programs are leaning that direction this year. So there's a whole other, you know, experience here that will be new to everybody. It'll be new to the interviewers, it'll be new to the interviewees. So something I would say is if you're doing a virtual interview, you need to understand that's very different than an in-person interview. They're just different, they feel different, they look different, the types of time that you'll have will be a little bit different to talk with people. So I would really encourage you to research that in depth, you know, practice interviewing virtually, practice with your career services office or friends and family, you know, colleagues, whoever you can get to work with that, because it can feel very different. And sometimes people who are very charismatic and very personable and very compassionate in person, get stage fright on video. And so you need to know if that's an area that could be sensitive to you, and you need to have practice that in anything else. And what's that? That's really good advice. And just to add to that, just something more practical is like just the logistics of doing a video interview, I should definitely know, is sometimes things are noisy in your house, and you need to think about a time that they won't be noisy. Sometimes your Wi-Fi isn't really good, and you have to work around that, because technical difficulties probably aren't a great excuse when you're interviewing. Yeah, you know, and again, this will be new for us too. Yeah. We, again, cure personalities, being sensitive, being holistic, how could you not be understanding and compassionate to someone that's got a baby in the next room?  That's just part of the game when you move to a virtual environment. But the things that are in your control, you know, are you comfortable speaking to a camera? You know, have you practiced that? Do you know how to log in? Have you used the platform before? Where are you in your house? If you can't control what happens outside the door, can you at least control the environment that you're in, you know, the room that you're in? You know, things like that would be helpful. Okay, so it's definitely good to practice and just kind of be ready for that environment, the online interview? Definitely. And just to watch the instructions from each college you're interviewing with very closely, because not everyone will be the same. So you want to watch and read those instructions really carefully, you know, make sure you're paying attention to detail and those confirmation emails that go out. Okay. That's a really good point. Thank you so much for saying that. I think that's good advice for people preparing for the interview. Yeah. Could you please describe your ideal PA candidate? Well, like every other PA program, we are looking for academically strong students, right? This is a rigorous program of study. So we need students who are academically talented. But in addition to that, because of our Jesuit identity, we are really looking for students who have a commitment to community, who have a commitment to taking these skills and really bettering the world and bettering the communities that they're going to serve in. So there is an element of that that has to come through the admission process. It's not going to come from your transcript. It won't come necessarily from your CASP application, but very often it comes to the interview process or more of the written portions of your application. So for us, the ideal candidate is someone who's academically talented, who has really high quality patient care experience and a foundation to build on that experience. And someone that really identifies with our college's mission and the idea of really bettering the communities that they're going to go and serve. I'm just going to kind of ask my last question here. And that is, what is the biggest piece of advice you can offer a prospective PA student? Or is there anything else that we haven't talked about that you just think that a prospective PA applicant really needs to know? I'd give two really good pieces of advice to anyone who's applying to PA school. The first is to connect with your admission offices at the different schools you're looking at, see if they provide any opportunities to attend information sessions or to meet with with admission counselors. Sometimes just having the opportunity to learn more from the college early on in the process can really help you later on. For example, our office hosts nearly weekly virtual information sessions for PA applicants where you can ask questions live of our admission counselors. So that's a great opportunity for you if you haven't explored that yet. And many colleges offer similar types of things that you can do. And the other piece of advice I would have is be cautious of any one person's opinion. I very often have applicants who will say, you know, I'm super competitive. I have a great GPA. I have a great whatever patient care experience on paper. I'm perfect. But so and so that I've worked with at this hospital and my hometown said that I shouldn't apply because I don't have X, Y or Z. Like what? Anything. All kinds of stuff. I just would really, really caution taking only one person's opinion. You are smart. You want to be applying to PA school if you weren't an intelligent person that really had a motivation to it to be in this profession. So use a lot of different resources. You know, make sure that you're you're getting advice from people that you trust and from people that really know what they're talking about, that are able to guide you on your specific case. And most importantly, connect with the admission offices that you're looking to apply to. So you can get information direct from those sources and make sure that you're getting the information that's most applicable to the application year that you're going into. Very often I'll have applicants who are applying who will say, well, someone says helping me with the application. And they said that you require whatever, I don't know, 500 hours of patient care experience. I said, no, we don't. We require 750. Well, that person that's helping them maybe apply 10 years ago or eight years ago or seven years ago, the admission requirements change. You know, so you need to get the information from the right sources and you need to just be cautious not to let anybody deter you from something that you should be competitive because competitive for because they have a, I don't know, they think they know. That's really interesting. I've never heard of that happening, but I can imagine a lot of times someone who has a parent that was a PA will say, oh, you know, my mom said I should do this, this and this for the application. And also sometimes it's really good advice. Sometimes it's not really good advice. It really depends. So just make sure you're getting a lot of opinions that you're using your your instinct, you're using your good judgment to go from there. So that advice really goes in two different directions. Like one is if someone says that you shouldn't be a PA or you can't be a PA even though you're competitive, don't take their advice. If you want to be a PA, please apply, go be a PA. It's okay. The other piece of that advice was pay attention to who's giving you advice. And even if they may be graduated from the program you're applying to, definitely trust what they're saying, but also verify and do your own research. Because like Ms. Wren said, maybe what they're telling you is good advice, but it was from 10 years ago. And the programs have been updated, maybe their requirements or something like that. So just do your own research. Absolutely. Yep. All right. Well, thank you very much for that. Thank you so much for coming on and answering everybody's questions. So I know everyone really appreciates it. And it's just amazing to hear all these things said from someone who's actually the Director of Admissions, not just some guy who's in a PA program. Oh, no, no. And this is, it's great. You know, it's great to do this for an opportunity to connect with future students and share your experience firsthand for what it was like for you and what it's like for you as a current student just to give a really authentic viewpoint on that. You know, I wish everybody good luck, this application cycle, and good luck.


The SDGs are very comprehensive in nature. They cover every conceivable environment. They cross many different social systems, and therefore they are complex to achieve. They require scientific information of all different types, which requires multidisciplinary research on many levels. So the role of a research organization such as ours is to bring together the expertise across disciplinary categories to simultaneously address environmental, social, and economic questions. So the key role of an organization like C4 is to do research across these multiple political scales, as well as across environmental scales, across national boundaries, across biomes, across ecosystems, and to understand the disconnects between those different systems and how they adapt to each other, how the systems adapt to each other across those disconnects. What do people who live closest to the landscape already know about sustainable management of forests, about sustainable agriculture, about improving soil fertility and preventing erosion? We need to integrate that kind of knowledge into scientific research to inform people at a higher level about the opportunities that are already out there to favor practices that are already more sustainable than others.

Two months prior to the plane crash that resulted in the death of Yovgeny Prygoshin, Vladimir Putin orchestrated a raid by his associates on the residents of the Wagner Chief in Russia. This operation unveiled a vibrant interior decor of his mansion as well as significant stockpiles of assault weapons and ammunition, gold bars, attacks, a derby alligator and a framed photo allegedly depicting the severed heads of individuals considered enemies by the exiled private military leader. Furthermore, the image is captured and extensive indoor swimming pool complete with a bathing area, waterslides and even a jacuzzi. The rooms were illuminated by what looked like last chandeliers. In another aspect of the residence, the contents of a closet showed an assortment of wigs in shades ranging from gray to light brown. Alleged photos of the Wagner Chief wearing these wigs as disguises were actually leaked to Russian Telegram channels supported by the state. No wonder!

Thank you very much for having this opportunity to speak on a very, very important occasion, which I think is not only an Australian opportunity to advocate for justice and freedom in the world, in a time when we feel there are a lot of features in terms of global interactions, in terms of the health of our common democracy and what we call shared values. I'll speak to three points and I'll reiterate our position on the Julian Assange, which has been consistent, principled and never-changing. As an individual, I have enjoyed and benefited from the protection of what I call a special country Australia. I felt that this particular quality is something that should be enjoyed naturally by everyone, let alone an Australian citizen, and not to even say someone that is being demonized when they are supposed to be celebrated. I want all of you to know that it's not just an Australian cause. Julian Assange is a hero and he is a global hero that should be celebrated and the likes of people like Nelson Mandela, India Unright and all other advocates for justice and freedom. Today, as we celebrate and at the same time advocate for a very, very serious cause, it is important to first of all highlight the great things that this man has done in our continuous effort to engage and to make a world a better place, one of the most challenging things in our time. Both as politicians, as individuals, as civil society activists, it's the moral courage to speak truth to power and that is what we do at Amnesty International. Julian Assange, like just so many others, lines in the category of victims of power that can see that journalism as a crime. Journalism shouldn't be a crime. It should be what we call the fourth power or the fourth arm of government that should be the defining aspect of our democracy. Rather than being punished for that, I think we should erect a statue for Julian Assange. I'm quite conscious of the fact that I do have three minutes. I wouldn't want to do dishonour to this very, very special advocacy effort and I wouldn't want to do dishonour to his name. I would call on everyone, advocate to continue in the next six months because what Julian Assange stands to face is something far more serious than the press tends to get attention. We can speak about this in our communities, in our churches, wherever that we think that the urge for freedom is something that is valued and I would conclude by emphasising that the position that we hold is not a personal reflection. The United Nations which represents the states and the nations of the world has clearly made a declaration to the effect that keeping Julian Assange is a violation of his human rights. It goes clearly and glaringly against the optional protocol on torture and the treatment that Julian Assange is getting and is most likely to get should he be extradited to the US is going to be inhumane degrading and that's not something that Australia stands for. That's not something that the free world stands for. At a time when we face an assault to Ukraine and at a time when we think that we need more powers of good to align causes like this should be something that mobilise the efforts for good. So I would say free Julian Assange and our once more reiterate our collective will that the present government in its declaration that it wouldn't use megaphone diplomacy we just want to appeal whatever pressure whatever patterns or whatever method this government seeks to use we just want to invoke or reiterate to the government that the release of Assange having a free man and a good free man is something that's not good just for Australia but it's good for the world. Thank you very much.


Good morning, cyber traders. Happy Tuesday. Good to see you all, everybody. Let me get a little chat and say hello to everyone. Welcome, everybody in the cyber group room. Good to see everybody. Hopefully, everybody's getting ready for the holiday. So we had a couple of good moving stocks yesterday. We're going to talk a little bit about them. I've got one that's decent moved this morning. I'm going to check it out. But today's a very big day. You know what today says Tuesday, which is Traders Talk. So don't forget Traders Talk with Josh today. It's one of the most popular speaking events that we have here in the cyber group room. And it's every Tuesday. If you're watching YouTube, Facebook Live, if you want to come and join us, just like us and friend us. Do a quick trial and join us for the week. So everyone, just please send in your emails regarding about your journals. Josh can pick some of you out. And no, we obviously not going to say who you are, but kind of go over and discuss exactly what's happening with your trades and everything. But overall, let's go out to market. We're down about 87 points. I told you we had a nice little rally in the market in the past couple of weeks. We've got to be careful on what's going on with the market in general.  But you could see on my watch list, they're all red and everything else. So be very careful on your swing trades, your options trades, everything like that. But day trading obviously has been pretty decent. And we had a couple of really nice runners yesterday. So let's talk about those. And before we move on and go through the watch list. So we had this stock yesterday, the SEAC, and this is to some of you that missed it and we're not here. This stock had a huge run in the afternoon at 2.30. News must have came out on it. You could see it right here. Stock was 78 cents. Shot all the way up to about $1.30. Did a nice little shake right here. And then all of a sudden, we had a nice run right around 3 o'clock just all the way up. Look how gorgeous it's staying. The last 45 minutes from a $1.40 shot all the way up, just did not want to stop. You didn't have to sell it. You had a little bit of a shake right here right around the last was at 3.45. Right at $1.60. You ran all the way to $1.80. Very, very nice move. You could trade a lot of shares of that stock. And this is what we're looking for. So if you missed the mornings, and like I always say, depending on where you are in the world, if you're West Coast, East Coast, if you're in Asia, whatever it may be, there's only certain times you might be here. There's always a time where you could trade. And SEAC was the big winner yesterday. Now, do we trade it today? No, it's garbage. Don't worry. Oh, it's down 20%. Big deal. We're not trading it. There are other stocks out there we'll trade. So yesterday in the morning though, blue moved pretty nicely. Had a little bit of a shake right here. It was one of the stocks that were in the pre-market. Let me take this out so you guys can hide this for you on YouTube. So anyway, stock had a nice support level. It was hovering here for a while. It was ice, iceberg orders there, holding at $750. And then right around, you could see it finally made its move around $940 and just shot up from $750 all the way up to about $920. That was also a really nice move yesterday that we had. That was a nice early mover. And then you had this one right here. Not as pretty as the other ones. I didn't like the shakes on this stock. Had a lot of shakes. And it was just kept doing it just like nasty. Your stock was moving from $6 up to like $660, came back down, not as nice as the other ones. So far as the other ones, it wasn't a lot going on. And this is what you have to get used to when you're dealing, going this time of the year. You've seen for some of you here in September, October, November, our list was, I don't know, maybe 10, 15, deep stocks. What do we got? 2 or 3? So that's really what was going on there. So anyway, let's talk about what's moving on Fran on YouTube. We're going to check that one on the stock that you're talking about, the GRTX. That stock is obviously in a watch list. So we're going to talk about and go through the stocks right now. Norman, you lost about $0.04 on it. I would stay away from it as of right now. Unfortunately, I mean, some of you have level four, we're having some historical data issues with the data vendor. So I know that the company's actually looking into it and they're trying to get up and running. So I'm going to check back with them a little bit. I know some of you got the emails to talk to. So as of right now, I got to work off NASDAQ BookViewer, which is not my favorite, but it's still better than looking at level two. So you got the stock, the GRTX. So the stock is a gap fill. So I like the trend of it right here. It's got a nice little gap fill. You could see that it could test the 625, but a lot of volume already traded 32 million shares. That stock, we got some good movement, but I'm not going to do anything until the market opens up. There were a couple of the stocks that gap up pretty big. There's this one right here, this SV SVW. I think I assume it's a buy out because it's not really going anywhere in pre-market and it's hovering right around that price. Mankind, this stock was a fun stock. I remember I've been trading the stock for several years. Here's another stock.  I'll probably put this on the C list because as of right now, not a whole lot out there. This fourth biggest percentage gator right now, you could see it right here, DTSS. Are you kidding me? That's wool you got from me. Yeah. Listen, there's not a lot going on. This one I saw a little bit earlier. This one was not bad, was on the watch list, but she's flattened out here. She's got good volume, 4 million shares, level one stock. She's holding here pretty strong at these prices. Once again, these things could always open up and make a nice push at the open. Couple stocks are getting crushed, crushed, destroyed, ADGI. Now, what do we know about a stock that's down 70%? Could this bounce? What could possibly have? By the way, this stock, we traded it just the other day right at the end of November. If you remember the stock, this stock ran to $80. It's down to 10. Down to 10, ADGI. What do we know? That's right. Look at the name. It's pharmaceutical stock. They do not come back. You might maybe a little bit get a little pop, but they don't come back. From the look of it, I'm trying to go back as far as I can in history. This is an all-time low, which even makes it even worse. What happens when you break through the basement? Where's the next support? Zero. Don't think that could happen. I've been around a block long enough to see it happen over and over and over again. You can see SEAC starting to back off right now. That was that big runner. We're going to cancel that out. On the New York Stock Exchange, listen, we've got a big gap up right here with TMX. Not really moving that much. I don't like the pre-market trading. This stock up 16%. Another stock. Is it really trending? The pre-market looks terrible, but I'm starting to get very desperate. There's not a lot. I would say all these stocks are on the B and the C list. Only one that made the A list is the GRTX. That's about it. Big on the losers. Any good bounces? No, nothing. AMC. Oh my God. I told everybody about this stock. I have friends of mine that are still thinking AMC is going to make this run up. AMC is finished. It's done. It's over. You have to understand something. When this stock broke the support level right around 30, it's over. This stock now next stop is probably going to be $15. It's probably a good, probably a good buy, but it is done. Thousetoflag, right, Norman, it's making a lower lows. Everything are you looking at. So, Wall Street bets, you don't hear about it anymore. It was great. It was fun. I mean, I was getting messages from so many of my young nephews and everything. We all did well. Like I told you, there's always new ones like this all the time. Obviously, this one's not doing well. When it broke through that support and it didn't hold there a 30, it was finished, done. By the way, I think I even heard that, don't quote me on this, but I think I heard it on one of the financial stations. The CEO sold all his shares anyway. I think like 80% or something like that. What does that tell you? Time for some money puts. If they're out there, like I said, whenever it goes up comes down twice as fast, but AMC is not looking good. All right, so, but I'm putting it on my list. AMC. Listen, the biggest thing you have to remember what we teach you here and we're going to move on. We're going to get ready for the market open. Remember what you always talk about. Cybertrain University is not like any school you ever met. We do not teach you how to make money. Everybody, and I know that sounds crazy like what I'm hearing. Listen, everybody wants to brag and talk about how to make money. No, you can't make money in trading unless you know how to control your losses. We teach you how to stop losing it. We don't teach you how to make it. The winner, I'm not here to pat you on the back.  And that's what you have to learn. It's like teaching a little kid how to drive. You don't worry about, oh, you got home today. Oh, good job. Oh my God, you did go. No, you want to teach them not get into an accident. And that's what you have to look at it. And there are people out there that swear by AMC and they think it's going to $5,000. I mean, just nuts. This is not Bitcoin, you know what I mean? But you don't hear what I'm talking about anymore. So that's why you got to learn before you could earn and you got to know how to control your losses.  Good luck. So anyway, anyway, you know what? Talking about AMC. What about GameStop? Oh, is it God? It's a symbol of GameStop. I almost forgot. GME. How's that working out? Not terrible. Not terrible. I can tell you one thing though. I am going to see a Spiderman with my son and his friends on Thursday at an AMC theater. I don't know if that helps. If it helps that bottom line. But GM, it's not really doing terrible. Well, I don't know. The stock probably 127. Even like this stock, I look at it. I'm like, is GameStop really worth $128? You know, is GameStop? And John's like, I'm not buying inputs now. Maybe wait at the Thursday, John. All right. So, all right, guys, let's get ready for the market open up. Check out DraftKit. Well, the good thing we got out of that one. I think a good thing we got out of DraftKing. DraftKing, you know, it's got some support levels. I'm a big fan of it. But as much as I'm a fan of DraftKing, let me tell you, we all got out of 50. You know what? I took a little bit of a loss. I had it like at like 52, 53. I was dreading to sell it at 50. And good thing I did because I would have, about 50 to 28. If you had a $50,000 account, it's now worth $25,000. You just lost 50% of your account. That's how you blow up your account. And that's what you don't want to do. All right, everybody, let's get ready to trade. Don't forget about Traders Talk today. Big event on Friday. Trade with the pros. If you got that email, please register.

Hi, my name is Nicola Usher and I am very excited to be a candidate for District 1 Town Counselor. I relocated from Brooklyn to Amherst in 2013 with my husband and our then-18-month-old daughter. We are a multiracial family and we appreciate that Amherst is diverse and progressive like New York while offering a closer sense of community. We care about seeing Amherst grow and evolve with the needs and interests of our daughter and her friends. We value the vibrant community we are a part of and hope that town leadership will become more inclusive of the different perspectives in town. Amherst is a wonderful place to raise a family and I want to see it continue to attract young families. Part of my motivation for running to be your District 1 Counselor is to demonstrate, particularly to working women with young children, that we can and will be part of the decision-making process in this town. I want to preserve what makes Amherst great while identifying and working on the areas where progress will benefit all of us who choose to make Amherst our home. I am eager to serve on the inaugural town council to help ensure that policies and procedures are established that enable the council to be accessible to both those who serve and constituents alike. As a town meeting member, since 2016 I have learned a lot about how Amherst functions and about the varying needs and often competing interests of our diverse population. My intention as a District Counselor is to truly listen to what is important to the residents of North Amherst, with the goal of connecting with those in the community who have traditionally been underrepresented in local governance. The immediate priorities I see for the council are supporting new and improved elementary school facilities that are fiscally responsible and include expanded, affordable preschool options, increasing our commercial tax space so that we can afford to take on the large capital improvements that are important to us, like schools, playgrounds, libraries, roads, a new fire station and DPW building, and overcoming divisive arguments of the past while working together to make transparent policy and legislative decisions, keeping our most vulnerable populations in mind. In North Amherst, I am particularly concerned about white bikeability, walkability, and traffic flow, especially as we welcome many new neighbors to the mill district in the spring of 2019. If elected, I will work hard, think critically, admit what I don't know, actively listen and work collaboratively with the rest of the council. I will be reasonable, kind, and effective. I ask for one of your two votes to become your district one counselor on November 6. In the meantime, you may learn more about me and my campaign at VoteNakola.org or follow me on Facebook at VoteNakola. Thank you.


This paper proposes a new method to remove GPS systematic errors from K1 and K2 tidal constituents. The authors use quadratic fitting to determine smooth functions of tidal frequencies for tidal admittances, allowing them to interpolate K1 and K2 tides from GPS data. This method was tested with three GPS stations, and the results showed that the corrected K1 and K2 tides were much closer to the modeled K1 and K2 tides from FES 2014, one of the most accurate tide models. Additionally, the proposed method can be used to correct GPS systematic errors in other areas due to its validity for global tidal signals. This article was authored by Haidong Pan, Xiaoqing Su, Huaizhang, and others.

Tom here from Lauren systems. This is in no way brought to you by big B coffee I just like their coffee get that out of the way real quick, you know full disclosure of things This is also not sponsored by XC PNG It is just an open source product we use But I wanted to talk about it because there was a good forum post and this discussion comes up a lot I figured hey These are some good talking points that are just interesting to me and maybe interesting to you And a lot has happened since I talked about XC PNG and how we use it for clients And I still get these I don't know how else to describe them But people who work in technology who are very dismissive and say Tom just plays with things And he's just some guy who likes open source and you know That's not how the real business world works Tom You know you just like to do content for YouTube and people like free things and etc. etc I have slowly watched a lot of those people over the years Kind of go by the wayside who don't embrace some of the open source stuff And I do choose to embrace it but there's a lot of business use case and well The XC PNG story is definitely one of those wide adoption of open source for a lot of really solid reasons and that includes very much so in the enterprise space and There's a forum post that starts this off that kind of got me really thinking about it again Now I've done my previous videos on this topic and I've compared it to VMware and VMware is where XC PNG really competes and people think all the time like oh I thought it was just some little homelab project and it's not really ready for the corporate space the Zen server itself The Zen hypervisor that this is all based on is a very mature product and has been deployed in a lot of places So it is not it by any means just some hobby project Get over here to the XC PNG It is actually based on the original how Citrix was doing things Citrix proved not to be a good steward of that Project and their move in licensing changes that confuse people and kind of caught people off-guard Well, that is a business risk technology is no longer just some tooling that companies use It has become the lifeblood of how they operate. It's very integrated into large corporate processes So when you have a company that makes a change especially when the change doesn't add any value such as raising prices and this is where VMware went as well which caused tons of controversy VMware licensing hike is severely unattractive to partners to say the laces was last year when VMware is like hey These cores are going to cause problems for the way we like to monetize this So without providing any value people thought hey We could buy these extra cores and be able to run things more efficiently and VMware goes Absolutely, you could but we want to make more money and this would not make us more money So let's just throw this monkey wrench at you called. Here's your no value add But we're gonna add a lot more in fees And it's actually was kind of timely because I thought this was interesting to a window level in techs did a great job talking about the new epic processors and a Calculation that not everybody really stops to think about it is the core cost of things like sequel So now when you're buying a processor with the most cores that seems like a good idea Maybe when you're building your home lab But if you have things that are very core dependent licensing You can end up with a better value by buying something with a higher clock speed less cores because of the way the licensing works on your sequel I'll leave a link to the video it tides in a lot of the topic, but before we get too far off topic Let's talk about this right here now These are some strong reasons not just to use xdp ng, but they're also strong reasons to use open source and have a better control over Potential price hikes so that you would have no control over And these points are pretty well taken right here at least to me And I think this is something more and more large enterprises are really thinking about here and no more vendor lock-in being right off the top that is a Big problem when you have a strong vendor relationship that also turns sour because the vendor goes we're just increasing prices without increasing value and Yeah, it's just not not necessarily a good thing Easier to grow without license limitations now This is something you have to predict when you're a especially a startup and this discussion that I have with some friends The other day was about, you know, how the Apache server became very popular during the dot-com You know rush in the 90s was it was not Advantages for companies who had licensing and companies that were just starting out and trying to get everything online and put things on the web To try to figure out license models around things and this is where an open source models just kind of made sense Going wow, we can expand it as needed and the concept that people won't make money on this is obviously Just a myth that has been busted since the 90s and the 2000s and all the way into now that you can't make money with open source The value place when you have an open source product it becomes on the people it becomes on a continued value of innovation and Customization this is still how the VATES team of them make money. We'll get to more in that in a second capability to improve the platform yourself or To pay people for it. Good luck on doing that with VMware. Yeah, that's really well taken point And this is what happens There are of course some people who grab some open source code and never contact the developers and will never hire them for anything That's absolutely a thing that happens But they weren't gonna pay for anything anyways and I you can't focus on well someone used it and didn't pay me That's not a good way to look at it If you keep innovating and you keep offering services and there are enough people you know, I've done this on my channel many times I Go in depth explaining how to do something and yet people still hire me and they frequently hire me based on some of the Videos where I actually told them how to do it But they decided it would be better to hire the person and else how to do it because well That's how actual business works you outsource things I mean I could probably watch some videos on accounting But I'm gonna keep outsourcing my accounting because I did watch some videos on accounting as like I understand the complexities of it this much and The complexities grow and I would rather have someone that's a paid professional to do that And this is still how this works there people still pay for professional services and support to the people over at the XCPNG or the Zen Orchestra team and they hire them for things because they're like well, I seen it I started in my lab and it worked really well, but I realized I don't want to manage some of these complexities I'd like to be able to pay for support in so they can do so. It's pretty simple. It's a nice model They have there More control on what's going on in the lower stack unlike black box VMware This is really important is people are always wanting to know what's going on What are the things happening and being able to not saying everyone will audit the code But being able to go through the code and modify it for people who have an innovative idea This actually allows that innovation to happen faster when people want to build something on XCPNG But they go, you know what I'd like it to do this or I'd like it to do that because I have a new business idea It gives them a firm base to work on and then they'll have their idea And then they often will contract someone like the original team that wrote it to enhance it and you know This goes right into the relationship XCPNG is formed with a lot of very large hosting companies to build this into the infrastructure If you follow their blog, you'll see there's been developments with Terraform there's been developments with lots of different cloud and it systems and these are these large corporate scalable systems to make this easier to Deploy and they've announced partnerships where there's strong relationship with them working with these hosting companies to make this deployed and easier to use It's just it makes logical sense for everyone involved Avoid bad commercial practices from a quasi monopoly This is something I think about a lot because the monoculture that persists throughout technology brings us things like the exchange problem We've seen recently. I Don't understand so many people who have an absolute dedicated Relationship even if it's not the best solution to a certain product and this happens a lot where this you know You create these kind of monopolies in there And it's not good for the health of any large ecosystem because if everyone uses exactly the same software So I'm not saying that XCPNG is a solution for everything and create a monoculture around it But I think there's a lot of innovation when you look at alternatives And this is something really important that people should always be thinking about You know, I know there's the old adages No one ever got fired for using IPM and related where you could just insert that same phrase to a lot of other Very popular commercial products, but some of those commercial products have let us down They have not always been the best product to choose over time So yeah playing into some of the quasi monopolies can be kind of a pain And this is a really important decision when you start talking about how to build your infrastructure Because you become very reliant on there get rid of extremely complex licensing Oh man, this is something huge because it's not just the license. It's not like we're just trying to save money We're just trying to get something for free. No complex licensing is the enemy Being the fact that Microsoft and they're probably the biggest example of this They just have convoluted licenses on some things occasionally. They're Very, you know hard to sell and as the IT team, they're like I trying to figure this license model out You know, I I love companies if there are licensing and it's a more simplistic approach to it that obviously makes it easier to sell Easier to scale as an IT provider as a manager's provider We deal with licensing issues all the time and stuff and some of them get complicated Some of them are simple I definitely praise the simple ones because I'd rather sell that product because it scales easier It's easier to understand but when there's all these little nuances to it. Mmm. That's kind of a pain Now wider hardware support. This is something that has obviously become really a factor where you want to be able to support all the hardware and The hardware you have for the hardware that can be the best deal This is something they've worked really hard at and I'll go a step further that it wasn't really talked about in there But it's the storage hardware. That's a big piece of the pie because well Well, you start running a lot of VMs and hundreds or even thousands of them now You're going, okay, where do I store all this? How do I build out my sand? Well vendor lock ins another popular problem that you run into there if they only support a limited subset of it They have done a lot of work and a lot of tooling in Xcp and G Especially since I first started using it to include multiple different common open source formats this open source formats that they are using allow for Diversity of storage devices or even a mix and match of storage devices now the last thing I'll kind of mention because this is also where a lot of innovation has happened is Xcp and G being a more complete product in my Opinion because they offer a backup and disaster recovery solution built-in with their Zen orchestra now Zen orchestra is technically a separate product from X Xcp and G I know the nuance is not lost on me for that someone's going to be pedantic and say exactly that yes They are two separate things you're conflating them together Tom I look at them very much the same because if you run one you pretty much manage it with the other so the core project of Xcp and G and then the separate VM that runs inside of it with Zen orchestra and Vates isn't alluded to a couple times. It's not available yet But they are going to be kind of nesting the two together like a basic version for people there Don't want to run two separate products. That's future coming. That's not right now Follow some blog posts on it. He's tweeted it, but no there's not a lot of movement on that. Just yeah, that's coming I'm hoping this year But seeing all that innovation I thought I'd bring it up again that the real competitor that Xcp and G is going up against is VMware and the fact that their open source gives them all these strong advantages and open sources wide adoption Because it seems to pose a lesser business risk than it used to This is a discussion. It's you know coming up very frequently and I talked to some large corporate companies about this I have friends that work at large places And this is something they think about because they're been really unhappy many of these companies You know see the corporate opportunity and do things like just change licenses a little bit to increase revenue But then don't provide great support. Don't provide any innovation They just repackage the same product at a higher price next year because that's their way of monetizing it more and This is not something that necessarily is a good thing And it can be kind of problematic when you're trying to do budget predictions over the next couple years Especially when innovation is key because as the market changes We're hoping our product innovates with it and sometimes the innovation of product companies do it's just we're gonna innovate our Licensing because some company came out with new processors like AMD that are many more cores and more availability So that would actually hurt our revenue model So our innovation is new license model to do that and it's essentially what happened in the VMWare story I'll leave link to the level one video just because it's kind of a fun dive into that topic How cores can affect licensing and performance and the way you budget for things at scales Especially when you talk about spending a half million dollars in sequel licensing On topic is of course, I leave links or I just discussed here with XCP and G and some of the other videos I have on the topic.

Alright Viking CFM, I always tell you guys there's no such thing as a must-win. This right here, also not a must-win. Now we play NiNi right now. So we got the win next week, we're all 9-5 right now. If you guys see the record, like this is, right now I have, right now I actually have the division lead. I don't know how tiebreakers are gonna work. I really don't even know. I don't know if I could not make the playoffs even if I win this game. And I don't know if I could make the playoffs even if I lose this game. I honestly don't know. We're kind of in a tough spot. There's a lot, a lot of NFC teams in the mix right now. The Eagles and Commanders, both are, Eagles are 10-5. I know we can get to 11-6, but I think everybody gets to 11-6 by default. This is like for me, like for me to make the playoffs, this is a must-win, you know? Because my next two games are free wins. So this is the only game that's up in the air, honestly. So if I could get to 12-5, or yeah, 12-5 would be, we'd make it. We might not even make it because the Vikings could go 12-5, or the Packers could also go 12-5. The Cowboys cannot go 12-5 anymore. The Falcons could go 12-5. Commanders can't, Eagles could go 12-5. So honestly, I don't know. All I know is that if we don't win, it's pretty much impossible. Did we get a weekly award last week for this CFM team? This one? Oh, we got Stevens? Got NFC Player of the Week? Let's call it Stevens. I'm not, I'm in a race for no weekly awards. I don't get to play the Panthers twice a year. Like what? MVP, Mariota, damn. I'm not even top 10. That's tough. Culture of the year. I mean, how can we not turn around the Vikings and get them in playoff contention? And we're not even cl- rigged. Offensive Player of the Year. Oh, Quezz Watkins, okay. Defensive Player of the Year. Damn sure don't got nobody on that list. I need to make a video of Offensive Rookie of the Year. I need to make a video of my setup. Bro, I don't have anybody. Best Quarterback. Oh, Kyler Murray, nine. Best Running Back. Mixing gotta be- Oh, there he is. Let's call Mixing, number six. Wide Receiver. Okay, Quezz. Best Oleinman.  Robert Hunt's not even one of my secure- Best D-Linemen? Nobody. Best Limebacker? Oh, Datsun? Let's call Datsun. Best DB? Best Kicker? Hey, Best Kicker. Let's go, baby. Was he Defensive Rookie of the Year? Oh, Datsun right there. Let's call Datsun. Just remember, boys, Datsun was our pick. I swear to God.  I'm assuming we can all buy more abilities next year.  My next two games are free wins. Like the Bears and some bad team. But honestly, Nini's a guy one year and Nini had my number. Like he might have beat me four times. So this is a player I had battles with, even without these bad teams. Now I will show you guys his team real quick. I will tell you, I looked at it yesterday. Not as impressive as I thought it would be. He's not, he doesn't got one of these boosting teams. He doesn't. He's got Cam Newton, right? He's got LaDane Thomas. I think that's Cam Akers, actually. He just changed his name. DeAndre Hopkins. Cortland Sutton. Van Jefferson. Armand Hooker. But none of his wide receivers have abilities. Like he has no abilities on wide receivers. I don't know how DeAndre Hopkins doesn't have abilities. I guess he's star development, you know? So I don't really know. But no abilities on wide receivers. And it'd be a good test to see. They're good. Like obviously DeAndre Hopkins is 98, Sutton's a 90. They're fast enough. Are the abilities gonna matter? Are we gonna be able to stick them in man to man without our abilities, you know? His tight ends aren't that good. I think he has one offensive lineman that's pretty good. If that, no, he has none. No offensive linemen that are any good. But what he has is Von Miller and Miles Garrett. You know?  We have two secures. So we'll see how it works. Now, these guys are 99 overall. So they might go right through secures. You know, they might. Von Miller and Miles Garrett might go right through secures. We will see. And then DB's, he does, he has Tyson Campbell right here. He's got him with Pick Artist and Deep Zone knockout. Gardner Johnson, he has some decent DB's. But once again, no inside shades, no, nothing crazy. So for me, like I said, this is, of all the people I've lost to, this is the best player that I'm gonna play in the league. You know? So even, but his team's pretty even, honestly. Every time I play Nini in the last like five years, he's been in AA gap defense. I don't know if that's what will run here. And it's always been tough. I'm going to try to play like a bum and shorten this game up here. He's got one guy at de-tackle. Both of these guys at de-tackle, actually. No, he's still got edge threats and things like that. So he still has edge threat, but he put him at de-tackle because he knows I have secures. We'll see if he stays true to that. That was not the run. How do you let somebody walk right through? How do, like, how, chat? Like, how does that happen, man? God, we had such a good play on. We had such, like, I swear it was going to work perfectly. And we let, like, my right, I'm not going to rage. I'm not going to rage. That's just so frustrating like that. We had a good slide protection and everything. Ah, that play. Just, like, let a de-tackle walk right in my backfield is just really tough, man. It really is. All in all, it's really tough. A bad run. I thought that counter might work when he pinches all his linemen up. He pinches everybody. I thought a counter might work. It didn't work. Like, how's he back that far and just have somebody open right there? Like, what? Over there on the scope. Come on, boys. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What's going on, man? Come on. Here we go, Dodson. There we go, boys. There we go. That's what I need out of you. Come on. Yes, sir. Good work. 37 all over it. Yeah, that is a fade. Out of bounds. Let's go. Come on, man. Boy, he's getting real sticky right now. Come on. Let's go mixing. Oh, dude, that's just tough. That's tough. Move! He almost got me on that end zone, too. He almost stopped right in the end zone there. He almost did it. As you guys saw, he slowed down a little bit in the back of the end zone. Fumbled it. Dude, I feel like my defense was so good that first try. We got pressure. We did everything we could. I feel like we stay with it, man. I don't really want to go to Don. Like, I will go to Dollar if I need to. Mine. Let's go, Jackson! To the crib. Come on. Come on. Let's go. That's huge, Jackson. Come on. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I wasn't in two-man under. I was a little worried how that would work, but we got the glitch momentum now, boys. What's on? Oh, my God. We just got Maliwap over there. What was that, boys? Doc, there's no way you stood there. Doc, there's just no way, 34.  Oh, my goodness gracious. That was miserable. That was a 64 overall zone. Wow, tough. Damn, man. That was a piss-pore effort by 34. All right, man. We're up by 10 right now. Probably we'll still be aggressive here. He's just playing zone. I thought he would, like, when somebody runs cover six, sometimes you think they'll run a little match here. He only has two timeouts. So, you know, if I do things right, he shouldn't touch the ball again. You know, regardless, we have to. Well, Vaim Miller just went eight to that play, boys. I don't know if you guys saw, but Vaim Miller just absolutely hoarded. How was that, chatters? Oh, my God. It's a touchdown. Oh, my God. We got a block. I swear to God, that play has never given me good blocking. Oh, that play has just never given me the blocking I want. Damn, he gave up that touchdown, too, man. He really did. That play, I don't know how people really love that play. I feel like I just get shitted to death when I run PA shot seams. I feel like it's the worst pass protection in the game. All right, he's got this. Oh, he doesn't return to kick good. This is a big, this is a big possession here. Oh, my God. Thank you. Holy s***. Was he drunk? This is not the guy I would think to throw that pass, ever. Oh, he's got deep knockout. Oh, I think he has knockout, right? It didn't light up, but I thought he had it. Mid zone. No, that was lucky. Oh, my God.   I just hate lucky s*** in the game with knockouts. I really do. And then that's a terrible s*** throw. Are you kidding me? Dog, is it because he's so, is it because Tim Patrick's so slow? That was the worst s*** throw I've seen. Like, dude, is it because Tim Patrick is 92 speed? Why was that? Like that throw went nowhere, dude. I cannot believe how bad a throw that was. Like, I honestly can't believe how bad a throw that was. Good knockout. That's good. Am I tripping? That throw was just not what I wanted. No, no. Oh, my God. Like they just tried. They just want me to rage my mind out. Come on, man, we got to finish this. Come on. I mean, stone. Like, come on, man.  I need some savings just in his own coverage. Like, it sounds sad, but I really do. I thought he'd do it at me. Oh, my God. Is that pick? Oh, Dotson, that's the game. You go to the crib right there.  That's so f***ing lucky, man. That's a deep post that stops short for him, man. Stop giving these motherf***ers lucky s***, man. None of this s*** open. Let's go, man. Somebody get there. Oh, my God. There's just no way we were that f***ing slow, dude. Oh, my God, man. Like, oh, Dotson catches that pick. We're in the playoffs. If Dotson catches that pick, we are walking to the playoffs. Man. Oh, my God, man. It was easy to win with this team. Somebody else would do it. Move. Come on.  You just can't run the ball on the... Like, do you guys see this? I feel like we're at the time of the game where I should be able to take some time off the clock, you know, but... Huge throw. Huge throw, Kyler. There's no way. There's no way you had to set your feet right there. Like, bro, they said... They shed instantly. I cannot run the ball on this team. This team is unrunnable. You cannot run the ball on Von Miller and Miles Garrett. I just wanted everybody to realize that running the ball has wasted a play every single time for me. No more running against this. No more. We got a score. And we get the two. Come on, boys. Let's go, man. Make them work and we go to the playoffs. Come on. Oh, my God. Come on, Dean. I'm stuck lurking. I'm just... I'm just completely stuck lurking. I... God. Just blocking the passer. There's just no way, Dean, that you're not getting out to that. Come on, man. Like, we just got to be better here. We just have to be. Just truck like that, can you? Let's go. Come on. It's just time. That's all. It's just time.  I hate that. I absolutely hate no huddle with a passion, man. I really do. Oh, just because I want my zone drops and I can't set my zone drops, we get no huddles, we can't do... Like, we're just in shambles. God, man. Just use some clock here. We're all right, boys. Damn it, man. I know that's my weakness, too. I gotta be... Like, dude, it's like your user is just so pitifully slow. God, it could have been such a big run. I did not expect my voice to block that well on that play. I did not expect the blocking to be as good as it was on that play. They actually held it down right there. Let's go, Quads! Big catch, man! Big catch! 56 yarder, we can make this. We can make this and secure the game. I knew we were gonna go to 2-minute warning, so I just had to see how long it was if I could make it or anything. I feel like we just run and we kick our field goal and we win the game. It is a far field goal, though. I'm a little bit nervy. I can't lie. Toby, man, it doesn't shouldn't matter. You better hit it. But you gotta be honest with you guys. It's like I haven't kicked that many all madden bulls*** field goals with the kicker, but I'm a pro, right? We're a pro. Just saying. There we go. That's what we love to see right there, boys, huh? I can't get sacked. I just, I know I can't get sacked. I really don't care. Nah. Nothing's worth it. Nothing's worth it. Literally, nothing is worth running the ball here. There's nothing. Nothing is worth it. The game's over on that catch. Everybody's Chad's favorite play right there. Now we got our kicker, Minnesota. I don't know who this guy is, but that's why I'm a pro, boys. Come on, man. You thought?  That's why our kicker is ranked number one in the power rankings, boys. Remember that. The only thing that beats us is onside kick right now. I honestly don't even care. Even if you give up a one-play touchdown, you win 40-second play clock. Nothing matters right now. Maybe I should have put my star. I don't know how to, I don't even know what his offense is, bro. I really don't. We'll find out in the Super Bowl. We'll have a better idea, but maybe I should have put my faster guys on the outside. It looks like, I don't know. Inbounds, nice job. Snead, perfect. Perfect. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Inbounds, his foot hit. Get the f- Ow! Like, who is on what? Like, what happened that play? How is nobody on a tight end? I don't know. I don't know how nobody was on him, dude. Delay fade doesn't get guarded. On a pass, commit that crazy. My delay fade doesn't get guarded. On a pat, I guess so. I guess the game is just a glitch. This game is just... Oh my god. I almost bricked. Big dub. Big dub. Big dub for the Vikings. The type of dub that could carry us. The type of dub that could carry us, boys. We'll see. Like I said, I don't really know how the tiebreaker is going to work. I am going to finish 12-5, which for me, I mean, it's a good record for this team, especially during that middle season that we had.  But we'll see. I don't know if tiebreakers work the right way.  All we got to do is sneak in, hopefully get some after-year goals. Hopefully get some guys boosted up here. GGs, GGs, GGs. I told you guys, he doesn't have receivers that are that crazy good. He doesn't have DBs that are that crazy good. His entire team is built around Vaan Miller and Miles Garrett. We have the counter for that and secure protectors. We traded our whole first round pick for a secure. We used one of our superstars on secure, just so we don't lose the stuff like that. If I didn't have secure protector, there's no way I moved the ball like that on defense like that ever. Because if you play a defense like that without secures, you lost before it even began. Kyler Murray, 75% completion percentage. I still feel like he smoked some throws. I mean, we gave up 340 on the air, but look, we gave us 16 incompletions, two interceptions. One was a pick six, huge first half on defense. Mixing eight carries for negative two yards, that's tough. Receiving, fire move, two tutties. Tim Patrick, big day for our boy, Tim. 116 through the air, quest with 53 yards. Joe Mixon, five catches, 71 yards, fuller head of catch. But I mean, it's all about our defense out here, boys. We had a sack and a half, Derek Brown, a sack from Dotson. JFK with half a sack, picks from McKinney and William Jackson. We got two knockouts by Sneed, Greg Jr., who was terrible actually. Dotson dropped that pick that could have sealed the game early. But honestly, that was just a huge defensive game. I just played to like, and honestly, I like that's how the games played. Like his receivers were open, but they weren't wide open and they weren't bagged because I have inside step. I felt like the receivers against his, like it was an even matchup for the most part. We had no abilities in a secondary, no abilities in wide receivers. I felt like they were open sometimes, they were bagged some other times. Honestly, I feel like I wish those abilities weren't in the game. I think it would make the game better, I don't know.


A year on from making the life-changing decision to have amputation surgery, Niki Bradley from Milford is, I suppose, about to embark on another surgical journey. And Niki is a teenage survivor of the rare bone disease Ewing's sarcoma and a well-known adventurer and motivational speaker. And she, well, she was faced with having a number of issues with her right hip. This is after her cancer treatment for years. And after coming through the pandemic, she decided to make the tough decision to have what's called rotation plastic surgery. And then in February of last year, she went over to Birmingham to the orthopedic hospital in Birmingham. And there was a portion, what this surgery involves is a portion of a limb being removed, rotated and reattached. It sounds amazing. It sounds almost bizarre in one way. And Niki, that is here in the studio. Niki, how are you? I always love hearing people describe rotation plastic because it really is. It's as complicated as it sounds. And as you say, it's quite bizarre. But when it works, it works very well. Right. It does sound, I hope you don't make me say it, it does sound like something from a science fiction film. As you was thinking, no, that's not possible. But it explained what was done and why it was done. So exactly as you say, the amputation, it's a very rare form of amputation. And on this side of the world, the main reason that it is so rare is simply due to how it looks. So as you say, the limb is removed, rotated 180 degrees and reattached. It's done for a number of reasons. It's usually down to cancer of some sort and the complications that arise as a result of treatment. In my case, I opted for the even more rare, again, version of a rotation plastic. So the main problem with me and always has been since I had radiotherapy in 2004 is the issues with my hip. The rest of my leg was always fine, but my hip caused so many issues, you know, two failed hip replacements, a number of other things that were going on on the right hand side. So when I was introduced to this type of surgery, the purpose of it was to fix the hip. So what they did was remove the prosthetic that was already in there when I had my second hip replacement and actually replaced with my knee. So my knee joint is currently in there and is acting as the hip joint. So they put in your leg from the knee down into where your hip was? Yeah. So they removed the hip and removed part of the thigh and basically, yes, just replaced out that hip prosthetic with my knee after rotating it. So the reason you rotate it is because you want that movement done in a different way.  And that's, you know, I needed the joint to work in a certain way. And it's the same with the ankle. So I still have my foot, it's just brought up. And obviously because the whole leg was rotated, so was my foot. And the main purpose of keeping my foot was to use the ankle as a knee joint. So it's basically the best form of recycling in the whole world. Making the most of what, you know, the rest of my leg that was perfectly functional and always had been and was never able to function properly because of the issues in my hip. So I will say that obviously, you know, you've led into, I will be facing further surgery. So I have decided after living with it for a year, I have decided that unfortunately the function that we were hoping to get from the ankle just hasn't really worked. There hasn't been, because there is a significant leg length difference when I'm sitting down, the two, you know, the ankle and my actual knee on my left side are not side by side. So when you go to bend, they're at different levels. It's extremely hard to explain over over radio. But yeah, like I lived with it for a year and I did as much as I could, like I'm currently sitting here with my prosthetic on and I'm able to do, you know, I'm down to one crutch, I'm able to walk short distances with one, which is something that my surgeon said, do not expect to get off your crutches. You know, don't go into this thinking that will be the goal. And so I listened and I didn't. However, my specialists in Dublin who are the prosthetic specialists said the complete opposite. So they were like, you know what, aim for the stars. And already at home, I don't use my crutch. You know, I do limp, but I'm getting around without either crutches at home. And that's incredible. You know, I've been doing that for a couple of months and I only have the prosthetic for about four and a half months. So the head part worked fine. It was the ankle part that's now down at your knee that that just we're having issues with. Yeah. So to enable the prosthetic to use the ankle to work, it would have required putting hinges either side, which added quite a lot of weight.  And when we tried the first prototype did have the hinges at the ankle.  I instantly knew in that moment that no amount of physio would get what I wanted from this. And what I want is to get back to the top of Ergal and to get back to the top of Mukesh and to do all the things that I love doing. And the reason that I chose, because I did choose to go for this surgery, the reason that I did this was to secure my future and to do to go into surgery of this size, you need a certain level of strength mentally. And you also need to have strong bones everywhere else. So if I had have waited too long, you know, I could have had just with general aging, I could start to have a bit of wear and tear on the other side. And I could have made for complications down the line. So I made that decision while I was still relatively young to secure my future. And now that this hasn't quite gone to plan just with the ankle, it's not the end of the world. It will require basically another form of amputation. But to be honest, that's fine. You know, that's just part of it. So the other form of amputation, it's going to be removing your ankle and attaching and ultimately attaching a prosthetic to that. Yeah. So it won't look hugely different to the one that I'm wearing today.  So I'll eventually have that. So they'll remove the entire foot, obviously the ankle and a little bit further up my leg to allow for the mechanical knee to then fit side by side. So it's hilarious that I'm speaking about this publicly, and I haven't even told my surgeon yet, but he's going to find out on the seventh. So that's the next appointment. Yeah. So how do you feel about it all now? I mean, it is, it's a setback for sure. Did you feel confident that it would work or was it just, you know, you're willing to take the chance? No, I was confident in the abilities of my surgeon and his way of thinking, but he was very clear with me from the beginning. Before I agreed to this at all, he said, look, there are absolutely no guarantees. And what he meant was there's no guarantees that the hip area will work, but it has worked. It has. For the most part, it's worked. It's a very slow healing process. So the bones in, so essentially my shin is around the opposite of where it should be. They want that bone and all the surrounding bones to knit in with everything else. You know, I'm obviously not a surgeon. I'm trying to explain it just from what he said, but it is a slow process. But I know from the feeling of it, I know that for the most part, you know, the pain is nowhere near what it was a few months ago. So I know there is healing happening. So that side of things is a success and it's an ongoing thing that we will, you know, we will keep an eye on. I suppose you're asking the body to do something that it's just not, it just doesn't understand. Exactly.  So I experienced severe nerve pain for months after the surgery. And again, I was warned that this would happen because the nerves were firing. They were trying to find their way home essentially. And I would have, you know, very severe feelings of like prickling on my foot and pins and needles, but to a level that obviously everybody has experienced pins and needles at some point, but this is this was a level I actually couldn't tolerate. It was horrendous.   This will get better. This is just a process. And that's how I see the, you know, having this next surgery. I knew from when they kept the foot, I actually wanted them to remove it. When we had the, when I had my first surgery, I wanted them, I wanted to bypass this whole past year of trying to deal with the foot and just, just kind of get rid of it. But my surgeon said, let's at least give it a go. And I'm so glad he did. I'm so glad that I've lived with it like this. Because it is day to day having your foot on the other way, even things like lying on the couch, your foot is being pressed into it. So I always have to have a cushion underneath. There's things like that that I always have to think about. How I drive has to, you know, I have to think about absolutely everything. And I actually think that has made me stronger. And it's certainly made me appreciate things that maybe I had not appreciated before the surgery. So definitely not, not a negative. It's just the next step. I think that's why I'm viewing it. And when, when do you, when do you think you have any idea when it'll be sometime this year? Will it? I hope so. I think judging by the way my surgeon works, if I went in on the seventh and said, look, I want it gone, he would fit me in somewhere. Like he's very good like that. And he deals with unusual cases.  It doesn't work like that, thankfully. But I am thinking about how much downtime was required for the recovery last year. And so I'm, I do want it this year. It's just, you know, do I sacrifice my summer and spend that time recovering? Or do I wait into the winter months when everybody's inside anyway and do it then? It's a little bit of a, I'm working out the logistics. Will this be as big a surgery and as long a recovery time as the first operation? Absolutely not. And I think that's why I'm not as nervous or as apprehensive. This will be this part, there may be further surgery up in the hip area down the line, but for the foot area, this will be just a, you know, a standard amputation. And I, you know, I've obviously never had that exact surgery before, but I imagine that it's just the chop it off and then I heal. I do think it sounds so simple. But you're still recovering them. I mean, the process of recovering from the hip operation is ongoing, given that it's a different limb that's in there now. And then you're going to have this other surgery and there's obviously rehab and recovery from that as well. So you are going to have a lot going on for a while. Yeah. And it's, you know, if I think about it too much, it can feel very daunting, but because I am still very much in it.  I go to them for physio who are excellent. I'm so lucky that we have that facility in Donegal. So that will continue. We'll just kind of adapt things after the surgery. And, you know, my first fitting post op will be four weeks after my first fitting for the prosthetic would be four weeks after I have the ankle amputated. And that's very different to the first operation. It was, you know, there was a couple of months of recovery needed before I was able to visit auto walk for my first fitting. So that's, that just goes to show how, how quickly we can move on after this next surgery, which is great. What keeps you going? What, what gives you the strength when you, when you're going through, you know, when there's been nerve damage and pain and discomfort and lack of sleep and everything else that goes with it? What keeps you going? Is it, if you, if you know that, if you know you're making progress, I'm sure it's not every day and every week that you do make progress, but is it something like that that keeps you? Yeah, definitely. It's, you know, I do keep an eye on the end goal, which is when my, when I'm in a prosthetic that fits me perfectly, that I can go and live the life that I want to lead. Like, I do think about that often, but I don't think about that day to day because that is still a little bit away yet. So what I do is, and I think most people probably do this, I break things down and I set myself smaller goals.  But when you've had huge surgery, been able to actually go from a bed to a bathroom by yourself is like, you'd be exhausted by the time you do that. But then the following week, you notice that you did a little bit more than the week before. And if you keep an eye on those little things, it's, you feel good knowing that you are moving in the right direction. And obviously, there's setbacks with anything. And, you know, as long as I don't let them get to me, then I can move forward and, and maintain a good mindset, I think.  I was this, I absolutely love the snow. It's my favorite type of weather. And I hate the ice because for anybody on crutches, knows ice just it's terrifying, but I love the snow. And I live beside quite like a lot of hills. And so when I saw the snow, I was like, right, and especially in Donegal, you know, you could wake up a snow one day and rain the next. So I thought this could be the only day we have it. So make the most of it. So I did. And I, I use it as an opportunity to practice uphill walking, which with this particular prosthetic is quite a challenge because of how it moves. So yeah, I had a fun day and made the most of it. That first day was spectacular because it was it was cold and the snow was lying on the trees and it was enough off that it just was picture postcard stuff.  It was amazing. And it's that's the thing. Like, I mean, you can spend every day thinking about how severe everything is, or you can look out the window, see a bit of snow. And even though I'm a woman in my 30s, it doesn't matter what age you are, go out and have a bit of fun if you can. It brings out the big childhood. Exactly. And that's just what I thought I did that day and it made a huge difference. So, yeah. Okay. Well, listen, I hope it all goes to plan where whenever you decide or whenever you can get the surgery and the next appointment now is 7th, 7th of this month. Yeah, it's next week. Next week. Okay. And it's actually coincidentally, it's a year that appointment will be a year to the day that I had my surgery. And that wasn't planned. It was just a weird coincidence. So it'll be quite fitting going back to see the man that did all of this. Well, you know, I'm sure you do know this, that you're an inspiration to many. A lot of people who are going through tough times, maybe it's through illness or accidents and they read about your experiences and what you're going through and how you're battling on and how you succeed. And it is inspirational and even for those of us who aren't going through it, it's inspirational. And you also do some talks. You're on the on the circuit, is that right? Yeah. Yeah, I've been doing that for a number of years and I absolutely love it because actually just as you mentioned about people going through a hard time when I deliver a talk and it doesn't matter whether it's corporate or with a charity or whoever. And it doesn't matter how high up these people are. Everybody is going through something. And I think by me sharing my story, it allows other people to share theirs. And that's what often happens at the end of a talk. I'll spend half an hour having quite deep conversations with essentially strangers. And that's the side of my job that I absolutely love because it's not often that people get to do that to be so open. And it's quite therapeutic for everyone involved. So I'm very lucky I get to do that every now and again. Well, a big part of the reason I suppose that you keep challenging yourself when you when you've had all the treatment and then after the operation, you keep on challenging yourself. So so long may that continue. And best luck on the seventh and beyond. And maybe we'll chat the other side. Brilliant. Thanks. Thanks.


Second Lieutenant Blanchard, I'm a platoon leader here with 55th KK stationed in Camp Humphries, Korea. I've been in Korea 15 months now. I'm on my second year since I extended. Here our unit provides counter-mobility and mobility capabilities to the division, meaning that we're here ready to create obstacles and breach obstacles for any maneuver support that is needed. Today we're doing a joint operation with the Korean Army to conduct a combined arms breach. Our role in the breach was to breach through a minefield using the assault breacher vehicle and we did that by using the myclic, the mine clearing line charge, which shoots a line of C4 through the minefield to blow a path. Everything went smoothly. It was great working with the rock step in step. These guys have been rehearsing all week and they did their jobs exactly like we've been practicing it. My favorite part of this unit is working with the soldiers, the engineers we have here, and there's a variety of engineers of different types. So I'm constantly working with smart people on interesting equipment and they keep me motivated every day. Sure. The mission of our Army here in Korea is to provide support to the Republic of Korea so that we're ready to deter any aggression and support their democracy and our alliance. B-A-L-E-B-B-L-A-N-C-H-A-R-D I'm Sergeant Poole, I'm with 11th engineers with the 55th out here in Nightmare Range in Korea. Yup, I got you. As Sergeant Poole, I'm with the 11th engineers down in 55th down here in Korea. My name is Sergeant Poole, I'm with the 11th engineers with the 55th down in Korea. With the Rock Army to combine arms briefs, combine arms briefs with the Rock Army, our part of the mission was to clear the minefield on the left side so the tankers and their calf scouts could get through. My part was to clear the left side of the minefield with the MiClick rocket. Inside this is ABV, and inside you're going to look back and point or descend. What we do in the back, we have 1,700 pounds, 1,780 pounds of C4 in the back with a rocket that can match to it. It's a straight line. We go up to the minefield, we get our right position with our rangefinders and shoot directly in the middle of the minefield, and then we detonate it to blow the minefield so the tankers can get through safely. Importance is the breach, the whole mission is to combine our breach to get to the objective, to the enemy, to the mortar squads or anything they have over there keeping us down suppressive. We get through their minefield so we can get to the enemy. Outstanding. I have a great operator, MiClick went, no misfires, first time go. My favorite part, I like to be in the track. I'm an engineer, but I like the heavy world. So I like to deploy MiClicks and I like to drop for all, whoever I train with, with different armies all over the world I've trained with, with Australians. Now the Korean army, the Rock Army, it's a great time to see how they work. My favorite part is to support them and see how their mission is to deter and be ready to fight tonight, fight any foreign aggression. I just like to say always remember, stay lethal, stay ready to fight tonight. D-O-N-A-L-D-P-O-O-L-E, like company, like 55th Company, Leavitt Engineer Battalion, 2nd Statement Brigade, 2nd ID.
