You lied to me. I'm not going to say a few words. I'm going to say way too many words. Those headlines are a bit misleading. Physically, this place was a dump. The buildings were used to largely abandon. Duke was sharing some of the not-get-named Bryan facility with our small administrative staff until 1979. It began to move on to its first floor. It was slowly beginning to encroach onto the second. Bell, Reynolds, and Watts were off limits. They should have been. Paint was hanging off their walls in festoons. Water was standing everywhere. White, now royal, had been condemned even while the nursing school was still using it. It became the boys' residence hall as we hooked a haste in its demise. Hill became the girls' residence hall. In its basement house, the history and English faculty, where the language lab is now a wallpaper-taught biology, right out of the backyard of the back door were the woods that covered the back half of this block. That was her land. The athletic facility was an outdoor swimming pool just outside the built classroom, which made teaching in those classrooms in the fall and in the spring impossible. Late that Friday night before students were to arrive on Sunday, the painters finished their work in the doors. The faculty, the residential staff, and the administration spent a hot Saturday cleaning up those dorms, putting mattress covers on the mattresses. Neil Clark, my colleague in English and I, alternating between the swing blades and the mower, cut the grass around the dorms, which was a foot and a foot and a half tall. John Arminage, who lived in Durham and was a member of that first class, practically put screens in the windows of the unerror-conditioned dorm rooms. Students arrived on Sunday, everyone having left a better equipped, finer physical plan than they were moving into. Nonetheless, they stayed. They graduated. They went to college. And they had remained remarkable supporters for their alma mater. And the dump began to become pretty snazzy. In the second years I was helping Ross move some of the equipment to the brand new biology lab in Bryan. I remarked that she must be very pleased and excited. To which she replied, you can teach a lot of biology. It's a notion which reminds us that a grade school is not made up of just the stuff. It's the folk. It's their willingness to take advantage of what they've got. Given the different definitions between vacation and work, there are still some small pleasures in coming back to school. Returners catch up with old friends. New folk begin to find colleagues who will unravel the mysteries. And there is a certain comfort of settling into ways experience was made familiar. But on that first day, there were only vaguely familiar faces. There was no one to ask because no one knew any more than the asker. There were no comfortable syllabi to organize the future. We had not really even been able to prepare during the summer because we didn't know what to prepare.  And we had each spent our summers building air passes in the sky. But we were all sure, even in the midst of our dawn, that we had been entrusted with something special. By some incredible fluke, we were given the charge of this great educational journey. It had not been everybody's dream. The NCAA was polled. The Lieutenant Governor had had to cast a tie-breaking vote in the legislature to establish the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and giving the school dumbfounded freedom to shape its own program, its own destiny. Other than the name, the goal of excellence, of budget, and an admissions plan based on congressional districts, those of us who arrived on that first day were free to create the school, the education that we thought best. We were explicitly outside of and free from the expectations of the Department of Public Instruction. We had no connection to the university, and everything seemed. We first gathered all of us, almost 25 of us, including the faculty, the residential staff, and four administrators in a conference room that was just about where Katie Wagstaff's office is now. We were seated around the table that couldn't quite fit all of us, leaving a few to sit in the corners around the room. One of the first questions we addressed was how much student time each day would each of us require to provide excellent education in our areas? When we towed it up, and I've lost my place. This was it. This was our chance to get exactly what we wanted, what we needed, what we had dreamed of. But when we towed it that dream up, we discovered that we were requiring about a 38-hour working. Which maybe not everything was possible. Out of assessing, we talked on and on, and we're still talking on.  And by the time the students had arrived, all that serious talk, and NASA sending a man to the moon had never talked so high-mindedly or so seriously. All that talk had created a serious, sharply focused academic plan to speed 16-year-olds well on their way to graduate school. It was pretty much the focus of the classroom. Unfortunately, the students themselves arrived. Within the first week, some of those young people, not party to our serious talk, not aware of our graduate school plan, approached Branson Brown, Brown Field out back by the year. He was our athletic coordinator. And they said to him, why not a cross-country team? He made a few phone calls, bought a few t-shirts, took them to Joe Liles, the art teacher, who stenciled NCSS in Wyoming, and by the end of the first week, we had the beginnings of a varsity athletic program. By the end of the year, we also were in the student government business. We were also in the prom business. Adam probably misplaced opposition to cheerleaders lingered for several more years. But inevitably, but inevitability is inevitable, and soon we had the cheerleader squad. Clearly, the graduate school was beginning to learn how to coexist with the high school. The experience, these experiences, and so many subsequent ones, have taught us and continue to teach us that our dreams and ideas need to start big, and all constituencies, and all the folk need to sit at the table, believing that all things are possible. In the process, we need to constantly remind ourselves that we are pretty free. We still aren't part of or subject to the Department of Public Instruction, while we are now part of the university, they really haven't entered our world too forcefully. We were not for years, even in the accreditation box, because we thought the process would be too limiting and too shaking of our program. We didn't efficiently compute grade point averages for two decades, and even without GPAs and accreditation, our students still got into college, good colleges, and one scholarships, big scholarships, just as we did then, we need now to remind ourselves that dreams have a lot of room here to grow, and they can grow. We can almost write our own book. We also have to remind ourselves that choosing a possibility sometimes eliminates other desirable possibilities. Thus we tried then, just as we continued to try to make the boxes large enough and inclusive enough to fit, and to be ready immediately to renovate them, or to begin again from the lack of a team makes me limited. Barstay Athletics and Homesick has also reminded us that it is inevitable proper for 16-year-olds to remain 16. This of course led to a much larger conduct than we had had. Steve Davis, the first chairman of our mathematics department, often said that we don't teach subject material, but we teach young people. If we teach them, the subject matter will follow. A very practical application of this, people primacy principle came in this suggestion at our first comment writing session that we just needed to have something both real and nice to say. Then we needed to define a problem if there was more and suggest a solution if there was more. And then we needed to end with something nice. Twice a year I think of this, however difficult try to follow its restrictions. The academic business is the people business, but this teacher sometimes needs to be reminded of it. My fellow grass cutter Neil Clark often memorably reminded us in our early discussions of curriculum of personnel policies and contracts with what faculty should be called with how often tutorials should be held and when. That we needed to be careful of the grand thing, grand name distinction. We are at our best when we focus on the grand thing that the grand man. If we do as the legislator legislature legislator we are excellent. The name will come. And it came early. In the first several years we were everywhere on the news and in the newspapers. One could hardly walk across campus without bumping into the New York Times reporter, one from LA, one from Washington, one from Louisville. We were featured on the covers of major news magazines. Nobel Prize winners were on our board. The grand name idea for the award was briefed for a while. This was an idea where Nobel laureates would come. There would be cottages built out there and they would pad around the paths and their slippers would interact with juniors and seniors in high school. Representatives from other states came and questioned and returned home to start schools much like ours but consciously very different from ours. I was once asked by a new faculty member if this was some kind of special school. Well, we were then and we are now a very special school. A model school. And still they come. Last year a Virginia delegation hoping to turn what they learned here into their own school. But the Oklahoma School was here to find new ways for this school so it began this year again much has changed. We have new stuff, more stuff, better stuff but the real NCSS was just the close of its beginning. This room is full of people with dreams and notions of excellence that we need to share. By weeks end we will have young people always the same on the first day. They are entering test scores just about what they always were when we adjusted the recenting of the test. They are bright, eager, proud, terrified. They are ready to learn but they will be different because they are coming to school with different boxes large and small in a different time. But they will be equally good just as proud of their time here as was that first class. I know that Ginger Wilson John Williams and Cook and Greg and I are proud of what succeeding generations of what you have made of this school that we came to.


How is digital advertising changing? And we saw a lot of changes in 2020, where Instagram, they broke a billion users, TikTok, took off the United States with over a hundred million active users. SMS marketing is on the rise. If you just stop and think about all the different kinds of text messages you get, then you'll probably realize how much more you engaged, opted in, gave out contact information to organizations that are engaging you in a new way. A lot of that is the shortened distance between kind of the click to donate, sort of the, like the Amazon checkout process of, I wanna buy immediately in the middle of the night. That button should like go away after 11 p.m. or something. But we're making that easy now, translating that for in the nonprofit giving space of making it that much quicker to give donations through, say, SMS marketing, of with accounts set up correctly, making that easy for your donors. So what are the channels that you're already in? How are you doing in those channels? Because you have options and the social media landscape is changing and there's some great tools that you can use for that. So this is a great tool, shout out TechSoup, where you can even take an assessment for your digital marketing. You can check that out to just to see and share what you're already doing and get some tips on what you can do next based on what's in your landscape.


is one on one cloud and obviously there's a lot of these new clouds coming out the kind of the cheap and cheerful that you can put data on and you can imagine having multiple copies of your data put in multiple places guaranteeing that if one of them fails economically you've got your data in another place and so I think it's a very interesting model and not as expensive as you might think people have been talking about the fact I don't have a slide here people talking about the fact but yeah but taking data out of a cloud is very expensive the numbers that we get over a three-year period of time if you replicate just one time your data to a second cloud is less than five percent of the total cost so it isn't that expensive if you're just making a copy of your data to another place interesting economic theorem so what are the challenges of doing this one question how do I get my data in different places these questions of bandwidth we don't want to be tromboning in and out how do I manage very very large volumes of data how do I reduce the storage cost we talked about a little bit and then where in the world is my data typical this this new object model has advantages but this flat namespace can have billions of objects so trying to figure out which ones of these billions of objects or in different clouds can be very challenging so and then how do my applications know where my data is that every one of my applications have to be multi-cloud aware obviously these are they're pretty complex problems so we were thinking about these problems and we came up with the technology it's open source we call it Zinco there there's what we call our four pillars and these are four ideas that we believe answer a lot of those questions one of them is to have a common api across all of the other clouds we've chosen the s3 api is a standard there so you can use the same s3 api to push data to one of many clouds we've also included multiple clouds as a back end but pushing the data to the cloud in the format that that cloud is used to storing so that you can use their tools for their data and if you decide some day that you don't want data Zinco to be part of your workflow you still have access to your data in its native cloud format a metadata search capability that allows you to search all of the objects that you've pushed to whichever cloud from from a central location and then finally data management policy management that allows you to do life cycle to replicate to age data off the system so though we believe those four key things are the key elements that are necessary to manage pools of data across multiple clouds now obviously we're just doing data and and orchestration of your entire cloud environments is is a is a larger problem and we're not we're solving the whole problem but our perspective is there's a lot of tools out there to do that we're working together with some of those those people to make a nice you know mesh of these things together but a petabyte of data is much harder to move from one place than another than a workload is on CPUs so your your your EC2 your your your nova instances are much easier to move back and forth between clouds than if you then a petabyte of data can be so the system today is available is open source technology it's on the website Zinco.io you're free to try this and I would encourage you to do so this is not you may have seen the magician you know juggling chainsaws while they're running and says don't try this at home this is this is not that kind of a demo I would encourage you to try that at home and the the code is available on Zin on github this is all open source technology we do have a commercial edition and there's some some additional functionality and especially support of the technology but I'm going to drink my own Kool-Aid here and try and do a demo for you we'll see how this goes so here we have the Zinco website Zinco.io and it's got this tempting button up here try Zinco I cheated a little bit and I've already put a platform together what you see here is what we call Zinco orbit it's a SaaS based management interface so you can this particular instance is actually running in a public cloud you can install an instance on a Kubernetes cluster on your premises and then with the orbit platform you can manage the platform with exactly the same interface so what we have here is a dashboard of what's going on the system a certain number of statistics I haven't created any new buckets recently done much on the platform of late and we have information about the different locations that the data is being stored I've configured this system with a certain number of locations already we have an azure location we have a google cloud platform location and then we have this us east it's just simply local storage on the platform and then we have things like replication policies that we can create and I've created one of the I've got a bucket called Tego and I'm copying replicating that data to Azure then we have life cycle management something I talked about that you can configure if we look at the storage locations here we can add new storage locations and you see we've got our technology for storage you've got platforms like wasabi digital ocean other platforms and you can just add new locations to your system so can I ask you a question here sure sure so you're basically showing on the sorry the various locations google and and azure right they don't support s3 so how does that so that's one of the key abilities of the technology is to abstract the the storage protocol you can use the same s3 interface and there's also some differences in versioning in the data models right you so you get the same look and feel across all of the platforms and and if you go and use the data off their platform obviously then you need to understand their protocols but you don't need to understand their protocols to put your data in here so if we have a look at the browser here we got some of the different airports and we've got this new famous brandenburg airport that's only on google google cloud because it's sort of an abstraction for today and then here on shown fell I've put a bunch of data in here if I were to try and do a little bit of a search for instance here's some example of searches uh nice the demo gods are not on my side up I'm sorry wrong bucket shown fell so there we there we go all of the files that are one megabyte or larger add another to zero that all the files are 10 megabytes or larger and then no 100 megabyte files on the system search for tags that are colored blue tagging on an s3 model is very interesting because it doesn't modify the object so you can add a lot of tags to an object if I were to put tagging is pink and search I get an image that's been tagged pink now this is a very interesting idea that you can use the same s3 protocol interface to do sql like like queries on either metadata on names of files and this is a functionality that actually doesn't exist on s3 what we've done is add a small extension to the s3 protocol so you're using the same type of query uh so here's one uh key like report uh key like scale a t no no no no anyway you get the idea yeah there's a file that includes an uppercase so it's even case sensitive in the way it does searches so how about the storage location idea so if if I have if I look among my buckets here I'd set up a bucket called taego that has a couple different locations you can also access the bucket to the traditional s3 tools here I've got my taego bucket I'll have a look in there I've got a screenshot in there right now how about if I add another file I'll add uh here donald newt why not donald newt I added a gif of donald newt to that bucket now that that was uploaded to the system uh in theory that should show up on the google as your browser you can see that it created a taego bucket on there and sure enough there's donald newt that's been replicated uh to that cloud if I go back over here and I look at the same bucket on google public cloud I had that brandenburg bucket that's up there that's only got uh it's the only place that data has been stored and there's there's an image that I put in there uh if I go back and look at my taego bucket there's my two images that have been replicated to the platform so that's that's a very simple idea of the way the platform works so uh you push data in from uh using the standard s3 interface it can be stored locally it can be stored only on a remote site or it can be stored to a single additional site or multiple additional sites across a whole variety of flavors of clouds and those will over time include platforms like swift, seph uh any any platform that's s3 compatible should work out of the box today so that's the basic idea of the technology and then you have a metadata search that's available across all of the platforms using the simple sql like extension to the s3 query platform so in case the connection between the zenco instance and the google cloud or the azure cloud or the s3 cloud is dropped so it's not available and the replication starts in one sense and then fails in the other so I won't try and demo that for you to do today because I'm happy the network is working but this uses a whole set of tools using using Kafka to make sure that all the data that the data jobs that are replicating data to other platforms are kept in queue until until the data ends up being copied to additional platforms that's one of the key challenges of doing this kind of thing if you push the data to multiple clouds uh http in a way and fashion is famous for needing to be able to manage errors and so managing those kind of errors and making sure all your data is replicated over time is a very important functionality so we handle uh errors we also handle a lot of the subtleties having to do with versioning and making sure that all the replicas match and what orbit does this has that nice dashboard so you can have a very good view of your throughput and your failures and retries exactly and and we also have a whole collection of tools that are aim like I created an account here I can create a new new user say call my new user open stack I generate a new key the user has credentials and the classic aws like method where you get an open stack secret key and then that key is only shown once you can create new accounts and one one little tweak that we put on the system was was was the ability to automatically generate here you've got a cyberduck profile was automatically generated and that's what I used you can see that here to log on to the to the aws platform and create an endpoint on my system in where it's located obviously this is running on a public cloud but the technology is designed to run in any kubernetes environment so you can run this locally on your premise and push data you can run it locally on on your favorite cloud and it pushes data elsewhere or you you can have different instances in different places so we have three minutes left we can talk about a little bit more about how to get started with Zenco or we can take questions so question what's the architecture is that hub and spot or peer-to-peer so the the architecture is indeed hub and spoke so today in the current version we refer to data being in-band so data we only know data that is come in through Zenco the early next year we're going to be adding what we call out of band which means any data that's in that's written in any one of these different clouds can then be notified and the system learns about the data so that that's not exactly peer-to-peer but it does allow data to be included or just the metadata to be included all the data doesn't have to be pushed through Zenco on the system there is also a concept they're using Zencos of Zencos so you can connect in chain to or more Zenco instances and they can push to each other because what they see from from the practical perspective is an S3 API and point so just another cloud we're also seeing some customers starting to use the same technology embedding it in their solutions so that they can have via a single standardized interface access now for their solutions to be multi-cloud we've also have a guy that's deployed this on the edge a very small Zenco instance he stripped out everything that was unessential and is using it as a way to replicate data to a public cloud using the frequent unavailability of a private network to handle those kinds of replication issues so it really is a toolkit of technologies that we hope will get more and more usage we're we're planning features for the future that will include being able to do lambda like functionality or actually call out to the lambda functionality and do analysis of different workflows so to get started the very the easiest thing is to go to zenco.io slash admin and click on the google buttons to sign in and create a new account on the software as a service platform that Brad was showing and you can launch a zenco cluster mini cluster in a sandbox and play with it and the other option is to do check out the code from github and run zenco helm install on your kubernetes any kubernetes cluster that you have already running public cloud or private and and get the id that gets from the output and push it into uh zenco.io slash admin to to get your instance configured and with that i got stickers happy to hand them out thank you


Honestly, if this is the last anime I ever watch, or even the last thing in general that I ever watch, I'm fine with that. After seeing Ball Zach kid, I've seen everything in life.  Alright ya nutsack liquors. Let's get to the show. Is that a loaf of bread on his chair? Get somebody, please.  Please explain to me what this show is. This guy fought a kaiju-sized steroid Dwayne Johnson looking character in the last episode, and now he's pouring water into an elephant flower pot, and his chair has a loaf of bread as the seat. I get nervous watching the show, because I don't know what's gonna happen next. He has one cactus on his balcony with his elephant flower pot. What is that? Bro, I feel like I could pause at every scene, every shot. Is he gonna fight cow man? Because they showed a guy with cows in the last one.   Dude gives it the power of the fist of God! I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry, bro.  I don't know how this show does it.  All right, I feel like I gotta do my prayers before I watch an episode. I don't even believe in God. Will you Santa Claus? Is he gonna become a mosquito man now?  No! You can sting me?   You can drain me dry! Is this show? What is it? Meanwhile! I want somebody in the comments to explain to me in one sentence. No commas. What the show is. I need to know. I need to know. Let me know down below. Give me your one sentence sum up of this entire show.  They're like a man of rave. I wonder what a rave looks like in this world. You probably have an elephant man as the DJ. I wish that was my arm.  I'm never gonna look at a mosquito the same way again. Next time I see one, I'm gonna talk to it. I'm gonna tell it. Bring your queen this way, please. This is actually really good. The action, the music. Like, no! Why am I hard? You don't gotta tell me twice. I'll empty all my juices. This is why I'm forever gonna be single, because these are my standards.   What is this? Did his whole race change? I'm not okay right now, guys. Oh my god! This is what I love to see. City destruction! Fuckin' break. What did I rebuild every day?  I thought he was gonna be a villain when we first saw him. This show is gonna be the death of me.  Oh wait! I've been dreaming tonight. Fuck. An animal has never turned me on more.  I heard people say this show is a meme. Like my anime friend said this is a meme show.  I'm loving this. That war! Why, why, why did you show it through that angle? This is the hardest show I've ever watched. I don't even want to know what this guy looks like, guys.  Whenever they show a new character- I got nervous for a second. Because whenever they introduce someone new in this show, the next thing we're gonna see is like an armadillo with a lab coat. I don't even know how I thought of that. See, this is what this show is doing to me. I'm nervous. I'm worried about myself now. I'm afraid to drink in this show.  You're calling him an odd one? He's the most normal person I've seen in this show so far. I'm already loving this friendship. Yeah, let's go over your whole backstory.  Oh, I can't take this show serious, man.  My god! I don't trust this show. It's gonna ruin the music. I know it. They're gonna ruin the moment.   But it was too good to be true. I'm like, bro, this guy's talking pretty long.   I knew it. I knew it. It's so cute and you can't trust this show. How long is your back story?  Whose life is this exciting?   Has such good music, you're supposed to take it serious and for a second or ten, I believed it. I was like, wait, this is a serious scene. Then he keeps going and going and going. Dude, that's literally me right now. Back story overload. What was that?  Is there any normal person on the screen right now? Look at him.  Is it the same guy that was making it straight before slapping a mosquito?  I think I need God. I think after this, I might get into religion. I just don't know what to say.  So make this worse. What is it? What are they about to show? Is that Alfonso from Full Metal Alchemist? It says something when this is the most normal thing in the episode. Like this is normal. Cyborg versus Alfonso from FMAB.   There's a frog with a tattoo and snail man. With shorts on.  That's the city get a break. It's an armored gorilla. It's fine. That's normal.  Why is he so mad? Why is a beaver teaming up with a lion?   His name is frog man. Guys, after this episode, I think I have to travel somewhere and just escape. I got to escape somewhere in this world to just find out why I exist. What am I doing with my life? This episode just gave me some clarity on how lost I really am. Get away! How is this show even a thought in somebody's head? It scares me that someone thought it is. Is this beaver a pastor? Why does he have a cross on his chest?  Is that dicklet? Oh my god, he got away. I definitely need to go to church after this. I need to enroll in a pastor youth group.  Isn't that him? That's right. Um, excuse me, I'm going to talk to you. That's all you had to say. I feel like I need to be exercised. I want you to let me know down below.  You gotta pitch it to somebody. You want somebody to watch it. What do you tell them? Man, this show, it is a meme. It's a joke. They're making jokes every minute. But this is how you do it. Not like how Marvel does it, okay?  I love Marvel. I love my Marvel movies. But not what they've been doing in phase four. Hell no. If you're going to put humor into a show, this is what I want. This is my type of humor.  A beaver that that teams up with a lion, a gorilla, snail, and frog man. Anyways guys, um, yeah, give this video to 70,000 likes. I'm joking guys, I'm joking. Last time I said I want 10,000 and I got 30,000 within two hours. So get this video to 20,000 likes and you'll get the episode three reaction.


All right, we got one more. Are these good so far? Raise your hand if you disagree with us. I'm curious. Anything. All right, we got a few. Well, we have one more panel here. This one's a little more fun. We're basically scouting this one in its entirety and we're going to tell you how to win at the internet. Well, I have it. This is, you know, the first two things we've presented to you are more of the theory level, right? What I'm about to show you is a hypothesis I have and I want you to help me prove whether this hypothesis should be elevated to the level of theory or whether it should be thrown out. We're going to do real science that's not really real. Yeah, we don't have enough proof for this one yet. We're not academics, but we'll see how this goes. So yeah, dude bro. Dude bro. Dude. Bro. What is dude bro? Well, before we talk about dude bro, everyone knows this, right?  This is definitely theory level. Definitely. I've never seen any sort of falsifiability legitimately prove to me. This is counter-strike in a nutshell.    I love the tongue hanging, that's awesome, right? But anyway, I have my hypothesis is sort of an addendum to this. It's got to hypothesis, right? Let me see if you like my hypothesis or not. Shit cock, right? Plus, creativity equals winning the internet.   How could that guy help the internet become better and awesome and make all the good stuff we like about the internet and world and communities and everything else, right? Well, let's look at this story. Who here knows the story of Dude Bro? Oh, it's good. Oh, wow. It's good, okay. Here's the story of Dude Bro. There is an internet forum called NeoGaff. It is an internet forum. I think it's p-p-b-b-ish. It might be V-bullet, and it's one of those. Now, internet forums in general prove John Gabriel's greater internet fuckwad theory to a high degree. NeoGaff is an internet fuckwad theory to like exhibit A, right? You have a lot of game players, but also game developers are on this forum. It's a very large community of people discussing video games primarily, right? It's incredibly popular.  But anyway, one day in the NeoGaff forums, somebody decided to make a thread about this game. Imagine Baby's fashion. This guy, his name is Kriahoga, at least that's his internet name, and he said he just innocently tried to start a thread about Imagine Baby's fashion. Dude, I like this game. It's pretty cool. Does anyone else play it? Yeah, he was completely, he liked this game. It's a game where you dress up babies in different clothes. I see no, there is no evidence at all that he was trolling. As far as I can tell, he legit likes this game. I've never played it. It could be good, it could be bad. I have no idea. I could understand how someone might like dress up. I mean, like, you know, even, you know, most games it's like, say, City of Heroes, right? It's dress up when you're making your characters. They're just, the characters have many babies.   Anyway, he legitimately liked this game and he posted a thread as, you know, as such.    Now, internet flame war, well on its way to Hitler, like all flame wars go. So Cuyahoga was not that experienced in the internet, you couldn't tell.  Man, come on, I love this game. What is wrong with you? I'm not a pedophile.  And then, somewhere deep down in that thread, Cuyahoga posted a gem. These are immortal words that have changed the internet forever. Are you ready for this?  You're not even murdering games, right, where you're slaying people and shooting and slicing and Dude Bro-ing, right? Dog time and, you know, you guys are screwed up, I'm dressing up babies, I'm a good guy. Now, what's happened here? Up until this point, this thread was like every other thread that was a flame war. It's approaching the event horizon from which it cannot return, where it is just one of those flame threads that gets like sunken and buried and everyone forgets about it. But what happened after this? You remember my hypothesis?   But it was plus creativity. So as soon as this post was made, there was a creative explosion that we shall now explore. We're playing the Wu game with you. We are in fact controlling your minds. Bro lower, bro mass. I think that's everyone's favorite. So what happened here?  The most epic in that flame war, but somehow one of the posts, instead of responding with more hate and more curse words, they responded with work, right? They made jokes. They made funny JPEGs, which is like the lowest level, right? But actually they're making a real goddamn game, right? So flame war didn't result in just people being angry and making the internet a worse place. It resulted in video games being made. It resulted in videos, there's trailers, there is go search for Dude Bro on YouTube. It's a fun time. You can go find you search for Dude Bro on Google. You'll find like the original thread where all this stuff is posted and it is off the hook, as you can tell. This is like a best of, a very small best of, like top 10, not even 10. And somehow that wins the internet, right? Does that not? So next time there's a flame war, right?  Respond with, oh my God, pedophiles Dude Bro, some JPEG, I don't know. I don't think the words pedophiles and then some JPEG are the proper response, right? So one example does not a hypothesis or theory make, right? So I have some other examples of this phenomenon for you. Oh, the slide's messed up. What's that square? I don't know, it's you fault. It's your panel. Sure. Open source software, right? I'm a tech person. I'm a tech person. I get involved in a lot of open source communities and what generally happens is they'll argue like, we should use this algorithm for this. No, no, we have to use this algorithm. We should remove the X buttons from the top of the windows. No, we should have two X buttons from the top of the windows, right? And they'll argue about this stuff on newsletters and IRC day and day and day, oh my God, it's horrible, right? And what eventually happens, one of the two guys or maybe even a third guy comes along and actually writes the code and submits a page, right? The guy actually wrote the code, won. It doesn't matter if even if the other guy was winning the argument, right? Whoever actually does the work who creates something, writes software, ends up winning. Kind of like how making, posting that first dude for a picture ended that flame war and turned it into something awesome. I mean, even at work, if I'm having an argument with a coworker, the moment I do some work that pushes it in my direction, that's it, the decision's over because no one's gonna do the work I just did, they're just gonna follow on what I, they're gonna follow my path and that's the end of it. Game modding, right? A lot of people will argue, for example, Counter-Strike, if you were around in 1999 or 2000, people were like, AWP ban it, it's no good and other people were like, AWP's awesome. So what do we do? Some servers just actually change the code, use a mod or something, block the gun. Perfectly valid, not technically Counter-Strike anymore, but they have actually fixed the problem at a fundamental level rather than just arguing about it forever. Yeah, some guy, maybe he goes onto a forum and posts an idea, hey, I have this idea for a mode of play called gun game, right?  Well, some guy actually made gun game and now it's really popular. If you try to just play it without actually making a mod, what'll happen is, all right, hey, we're playing knives only. Someone else joins the server, he doesn't care about my knife only game, he's coming in with shotgun. I'm often that guy. Creativity also works as sort of a circuit breaker in communities like 4chan and FARC where normally flames and Godwin's Law would just bring the whole sights down to their knees within seconds, right? But they have this release valve, they have funny JPEGs of squirrels, nuts and my little pony, right? They release some of the steam that's going on in these places, allowing the communities to continue going on despite the fact that there's nothing but flame wars, right? No, even go one step further. Slowly retardment and asbestos on the law. Look at 4chan and FARC and even something awful, places like this. A lot of the memes and the kind of social currency that we all replicate, we hear like butt scotch on, it comes back out. All these jokes, this is kind of like the high culture of the internet, like the high fashion, the really impractical dresses that you couldn't wear down the street that kind of, those are like the precursors to the fashion that you see in Target a year later. A lot of internet jokes and things come out of these places. They're like the primordial ooze of the internet. You don't want to go in there. But you enjoy the things that come out of it and I would argue there's a lot of shit cocking going on in there and a lot of creativity and we win as long as we don't go in there. I'm sure everyone here has watched South Park and or The Simpsons, right?  And people just cursing at each other and yelling and screaming and it's ridiculous, not a hand. But somehow when South Park or The Simpsons managed to present an opinion or a view on those exact same issues, right? It's they do it in a way that somehow everyone's agreeing with it. Why? Because they're doing it with art. They're not just doing it with straight up words or direct talking. Or straight up dog time. They're using images and audio and their creativity to go along with their message and it's sort of like a Trojan horse, right?  You know? And Penny Arcade, of course, you've all read. It does a lot of the same things that South Park and The Simpsons do. Sometimes not successfully, but they're not as professional. They know that. Oh snap, whatever. And let us be here. Horses love me. What are you talking about? I love them too. All right, so the moral of our story is again, when there's a flame war, right, and you're about to post in that thread, stop. Don't post. Instead, rip out the impact font and photoshop. At the very least, right, don't grab your keyboard. Grab the photoshop, grab the garage band, maybe make a song, make a video, make something, even if it's a five minute something, right? I wish I had it. I lost the audio file a long time ago in the Mega TF forums, which was the precursor to Team Fortress 2. Oh, what a great example. There was this dude named Moog.  And this dude got mad at the community. He made this like two hour rent with a microphone and boosted it. On the internet, back when it took like three days to encode an MP3. So he post this thing. An hour later, before anyone could respond, before the gigantic flame war would have started, some other dude, this day I don't know who it was, posted an edit. It was like a minute long that he had pieced together from words the guy used. And I don't think anyone even listened to the original array. There were eight people. God, I don't remember. Everybody was Gaga. There are things that are hurting this community more so now that everybody is an everybody's wife. Fuckin' everybody in everybody's room. Fuckin' back door, fuckin' fish tank, deep in other people. It's like those who investigate, and there's eight people. Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem.  Hey, talkin' about disease, we don't need it. I'm sorry I memorized that. I imagine if you're in like, I don't know, the deviant art community and someone who was in the center of all the drama posted a two hour rant calling out everybody they hated, what would happen to defuse it so elegantly and so simply with something so stupid? There's power here. We are on the verge of an untapped resource. So avoid the keyboard, reach for the Photoshop, reach for the GarageBand, the audio editor, the video editor, make some of the code, do some sort of creative thing to combat whatever sort of flame war is going on. And I guarantee that would be a 20 times more powerful weapon than just typing into the text box in the form. And we will leave you with the secret. What is it, dude bro?


Hi everyone, Sean with jaspyscasebreaks.com here doing 2020 hip parade football platinum edition series 24 10 box case break random team number one where Sold 32 spots everyone gets a random team the NFL These are repacked products really nice stuff each box. So the 10 box case break Rare numbered autograph cards autograph memorabilia cards dual and quad autograph cards only a hundred hand numbered boxes produced Then they take 10 of those and they put them into one case. So there's 10 master cases made Including some of these names Dan marino paint and Manning adrian peterson say plumbarkley so on and so forth. You can see the sales sheet right here Some very nice stuff. So hopefully we find something like this or better Here are a list of customers from mark copeland last spot mojo back up to kevin benedict And the teams from the washington football team back up to the arizona cardinals Dice roll here to randomize both lists and pair them together One and a four five times fifth and final time From benjamin johnson down to eric karangela five times on the teams fifth and final time the raiders down to The texans Give me one second. So we'll go through the list and I'll title the document Benjamin johnson with the raiders oliver sorria with the giants marissa todd with the dolphins derrick disser with the 49ers Matt staley with the ravens kevin benedict with the titans raimonday. Hey sooth with washington lucas snow with the saints benjamin schweiger with the bills catherine tusher with the patriots berri roberts with the colts jeremy titmuss with the broncos adam livy with the chiefs mark copeland last spot mojo With cowboys john godi with the packers victor's amore with the rams captain tusher with the lions eric karangela with the jets kevin benedict with the seahawks joseph falsetti with the panthers benjamin johnson with the cardinals see karen steele with the jaguars dylan hussey with the bangles kevin benedict with the chargers steven savinsky with the vikings kevin benedict with the falcons anthony ventureno with the buccaneers gail ablo with the bears matthew falsetti with the steelers uh michael golder with the browns matt arnold with the eagles and eric karangela with the texans trade window is open let's sort this by team over here so anybody any trades while you guys potentially think about trades like i said there's no checklist for this since it is a repack product obviously there's some names that are on the list uh we got to figure out which box we're gonna do so you can see on here we have two boxes this one's numbered 10 out of 10 and this one here is numbered three out of 10 so i'm gonna throw a dice to figure out which box we're gonna do one two three on the top four five six on the bottom box good luck right over here so we're going with box number 10 of 10 so that's going to be four random team number two which is in the store now okay so no talks of trades trade window closed print and rip so you'll see in here it's happened multiple times with me at least so this is one of the master cases you can see they only make 10 of these and then inside of here they put 10 inner boxes all individually numbered adam's asking for my home's auto i'll be okay with that out so there are 10 boxes and you can see each one individually packaged individually numbered this one to 65 out of 100 so on and so forth now let's get ripping here's our final list last spot mojo mark copeland with the cowboys i feel like teams like that with it such a rich history even though they might not be great right now are always good because how many hall of fame runs for that team so individually wrapped and then they have a sticker sealing both sides to never been a part of one of these hip raid great repack product uh i don't think i don't know adam i don't think so i mean it's just really good stuff so box 65 it's got the share your hit as a standard hip raid fan of or friends of jaspies well didn't have to wait very long mark last spot mojo ezekiel aleik national treasures patch auto nine out of 25 and that is 2016 national treasures so that's a rookie patch auto there you go mark congrats box one in the books box 98 okay thank you for getting on the break man he did nothing for my fantasy team today but i'm glad that you now have a nice rpa of his on the other side i did have uh anthony gibson so that was good nine more once i feel like if they had nine of the same 10 in team in one another great running back drone bettis legends auto five out of five from 2016 classics the bus pittsburgh steelers on that matthew falsetti you can see the numbering right there five out of five sealed with the hip raid sticker there you go mathew yeah i mean gibson scored enough points for me today to make up for uh everything that that uh zeke didn't do and i did pick up the redskins or washington football team as a defense so that helped out a lot this year's rookie auto jaylen hurts philadelphia eagles matt arnold that's from origins current year there you go very nice you got a graded card our first graded card there you go wow one of five impeccable football daniel jones rookie landscape auto psa nine landscape auto gold see the numbering right on top one out of five there new york giants that's going to oliver soria there you go oliver come up on box five and kyle the second one is in the store now we have another box from this same series in the store so box 39 march on lynch we've got a nice quarterbacks from running back so far 53 out of 55 from tops museum collection seattle seahawks kevin benedict and that is 2013 tops museum collection nice little beast mode auto there for you congrats kevin absolutely kevin thank you for getting in on it box six another good running back dalvin cook contenders optic auto rookie ticket auto that's 2017 contenders optic minnesota vikings steven savinsky great looking chrome card there for you steven congrats best running back in the league probably right and statistically abilities you might argue it but either him or darik henry i think the difference is though on uh catching balls out of the backfield i agree at them but best availability or best ability is availability this one's nice there you go was this a sales sheet hit dual auto steve young jerry rice four color patch for steve young two color patch jerry rice two out of ten this is from 2017 phoenix football that is a sales sheet hit too right there top corner very nice san francisco 49ers darik disher congrats darik very nice card two of the best with some really nice patches in there too another encased card rookie auto chase young and i believe this is from yeah this is the xrc redemption so this is from 2019 select football 47 out of 99 washington reyman day Jesus so these are the redemption cards that are in 2019 select football this is obviously the redeemed card itself hence hit parade not putting anything over the panini customer service seal very nice it's technically their first uh first rookie card in products there you go reyman number two overall pick who just uh was manhandled people and unfortunately not on purpose not intentionally didn't do it himself but because of his monster abilities pushed the offensive lineman into the number one overall pick i saw somebody said that or like i remember joe sainton about that he seems like he's getting more and more comfortable every week now baker mayfield two color patch and auto 20 out of 49 rookie patch auto from panini one one cleveland browns michael golder there you go one box left hi ted uh not yet i got at least one more break i came into like 150 orders no go for it erin jones spectra auto for the green bay packers john gotty that is numbered 14 out of 25 that

other ones are still up for grabs i'm sean jaspyscasebreaks.com thanks for hanging out and we'll see you next time


In this video, we'll take a look at critical analysis through the lens of ethnic and race studies, specifically through the lens of what's called critical race theory. So let's get into what we're looking at here. Critical race theory examines artifacts using a framework that considers the effects of systemic racism in all modes of expression and how cultural perceptions of race are represented in the various artifacts. So again, we're looking at both the ideas of systemic racism and how that affects the way we express ourselves in various modes of medium and how the cultural perceptions of race are represented in the various forms and various artifacts that we present. So a little bit of history, not a great deal of depth here to go into, but just a little bit of history on critical race theory. It was really developed in the mid-70s by scholars and legal minds and legal scholars who felt the progress was moving too slowly following the civil rights movement in the 1960s. So they felt like the progress that was made in the 60s had really gotten bogged down by the mid-70s and was not progressing very quickly or at all during that time. So they developed critical race theories a way to examine how they could move that forward more effectively. Combines really the elements of critical legal studies, which is a large part of where it came from was looking at how race is reflected in the legal system in the United States. So combines elements of the critical legal studies with feminist theory, because there's a lot of crossover there in how those areas would be viewed and so anyway, the critical lens of critical race theory comes from that combination of critical legal studies and feminist criticism that had been developed previously. Major premises of critical race theory, there are five what's called the basic tenets of critical race theory that were presented by, you know, really effectively by Sol Arzano and Yasuo in their work in 2000. So they became what became to be known as the five basic tenets of critical race theory. The first is the centrality and intersectionality of racism. This basically says that racism exists everywhere in American life. It is pervasive in American life from our internal thoughts and our individual actions to the embedded systemic inclusion in our institutions, our systems and in our culture. So again, this is something that is just ingrained in American culture and has been since really prior to the founding of the United States of America, this really distinct type of racism, which is hard to sometimes recognize or reconcile to see within ourselves, but really is just a pervasive thing in each of our individual thoughts, actions and then all the way up through our institutions of government and in our culture as a whole. Another major premises is the challenge of the dominant ideology. Critical race theory seeks to challenge the dominant ideology, challenges things like in the United States, like the belief that we have the ability to be truly neutral and objective and colorblind. Those things are myths, neutrality and objectivity and colorblindness really are myths. They are impossible given the embedded nature of racism in American culture. The fact that it is not just service level, this is something that is ingrained within us in a sense that makes those things really impossible and part of the first ability for us to overcome these types of things is to recognize that those things are impossible at this point, that they are not realities for us. So critical race theory seeks to challenge that dominant ideology, that those things exist and help us recognize that they don't. Critical race theory also has a commitment to social justice and they recognize in critical race theory, it recognizes that oppression is not just limited to race. So critical race theory then seeks to extend its efforts of social justice beyond just race. So it includes social injustice toward the different genders, toward people of different nationalities and ethnicities and just any group of people that would be oppressed, critical race theory seeks to kind of end the injustice there and they have a commitment to social justice for all people. Critical race theory also underscores the importance of experiential knowledge. They underscore the importance of expressing lived experiences in understanding the realities of racism and other forms of oppression. That these are things that need to be expressed both for the health of the people who experienced them and their ability to kind of speak their truth, so to speak, as to what happened to them and the experiences that they've had and for others to recognize those experiences and see them as real, see them as things that do happen here in our culture and our country and so they underscore the importance of that experiential knowledge and expressing that and sharing that with the public at large. In critical race theory, the fifth tenant here is the use of an interdisciplinary perspective. So critical race theory recognizes that the path to eliminating oppression will require knowledge and action from multiple disciplines, multiple areas of influences, so the framework pulls from many diverse and different fields. So it pulls from the legal field, it pulls from feminism, it pulls from philosophy, it pulls from religion, it pulls from governmental affairs, it pulls from all these areas and it also pulls from different areas of life, not only the individual experiences but government agencies, government experiences, institutional experiences like education and things like that are drawn in here. So the recognition is there that this is not just a single perspective that's going to draw from one area, it's going to require work and information and innovation from all of these different areas coming together in order to provide the kind of social justice that critical race theory seeks. So some common questions that come up just in general as we explore critical race theory. What is the significance of race in contemporary American society? So what significance does that play in our society in general? Where and what ways and to what ends does race appear in dominant American culture and shape the ways that we interact with one another? What types of texts and other cultural artifacts reflect dominant cultures' perceptions of race? How can scholars convey that racism is a concern that affects all members of society and not just those groups that are feeling oppression but all members of society? How does racism continue to function as a persistent force in American society? How can we combat racism to ensure that all members of American society experience equal representation and access to fundamental rights? And how can we accurately reflect the experiences of victims of racism? So again, acknowledging the importance of expressing that lived experience, how can we accurately reflect these experiences of the people who've experienced that? Now again, these are more broad questions that come from critical race theory and that we should seek to ask ourselves now. As we're looking at ethnics and race studies as a critical lens, there are some more application-oriented questions that we can consider as we seek to apply these concepts to specific artifact or artifacts. There are some critical application questions that we can ask that are a little more practical, a little less broad for just societal considerations and a little more specific application to artifacts here as we would look in critical aspects. So first, what are the power relationships between the people of different races or ethnicities? How is that power relationship expressed in the artifact or whatever it is that we're examining here? Is there a power relationship between people of different races or ethnicities? And if so, what is that? How are the racial and ethnic rules defined? So is there some stereotyping going on? Is there some cultural stereotypes about races and ethnicities happening in this artifact? Or is everything being whitewashed in a sense to make it seem like race and ethnicity is not at all a consideration or a factor because really the truth is the middle ground there. They're somewhere in the middle. So how are these racial and ethnic rules being defined in this artifact? How do characters embody these traits? How are the different racial and people of racial and ethnic backgrounds portrayed? How are they embodied in this work, in this artifact, and how are they represented? Do characters take on traits from people of other races or ethnicities? How so and how does this change the other's reactions to them? In other words, are people of color given attributes and characteristics that would be more common to white people and or vice versa? And are they taking on traits of other people? And if so, how and then how does that affect the way that they interact with the others? How do you think that affects the relationships that exist within that artifact? What does the work reveal about the operations, either economically, politically, socially or psychologically of systemic racism? So what does this tell us? You know, how does this fit into our knowledge of systemic racism? Does it recognize that? Does it does it try and cover over that? Does it try and minimize the the thoughts or impact of systemic racism? Does it does it really play into these things? And just thinking about all of those things, how does this? What does this reveal about systemic racism in our society? So again, these are things we need to think through. We need to process as we're viewing different artifacts. If we take on this lens, we need to have these questions in mind and be able to see from different perspective how this artifact might be interpreted, how it might have been created for such a purpose, how it might be interpreted by others and what it might do to either halt or expand the acknowledgement of racism in our society and the significant attributes and differences between people of different ethnicities and races in our society. So these are things we need to think about and process as we view these things and then come to conclusions, be able to express and share these conclusions. If you have any questions about critical race theory or any other sort of critical framework that we've examined in this in this video series, please don't hesitate to email me. I'd love to chat with you via email. In the meantime, go out there and again, use this as one more tool in your toolbox to examine different artifacts and and really have those different perspectives, use those different lenses to give you more and broader perspective of the way that the way that different aspects and attributes of the world are represented in the media that we view.


Hello friends welcome to the session I am Alka. Let's discuss the given question if 1, 2, 4, 5, x, 6 and 3, 5 are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order 5, x and y. Now before starting with the solution I would like to tell you the basic idea behind the solution. Let there are 2 points a and v. The coordinates of a are x1, y1 and that of v are x2, y2. So if p with the midpoint of the line joining a and v to the coordinates of the midpoint of line joining the 2 points is given by x1 plus x2 upon 2 and y1 plus y2 upon 2. According to the question here is the figure of a parallelogram a, b, c, d. The coordinates of a as 1, 2, b as 4 and y c as x and 6, d as 3 and 5. Now this is the figure according to the question with a, b, c, d as a parallelogram and the coordinates of a are 1, 2, v as 4, y, c, x, 6, d, 3, 5. Now we all know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So let's discuss the question further. Let a, b, c, d, v are parallelogram whose vertices with coordinates 1, 2, v with coordinates 4 and y, c with coordinates x and 6 and v with coordinates 3 and 5. Now since we know that the diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other therefore we can say that coordinates the midpoint of a, c equal to coordinates of the midpoint of b, d. So this can be written as 1 plus x that is 1 plus x upon 2 and 2 plus 6 upon 2. These are the coordinates of the midpoint of a, c and similarly we will write the coordinates of the midpoint of b, d that is x1 plus x2 upon 2 that is 4 plus 3 upon 2 and 5 plus y upon 2. This implies 1 plus x upon 2 and 8 upon 2 is 4 equal to 7 upon 2 and 5 plus y upon 2. Now we will compare the corresponding paths on comparing corresponding we get 1 plus x upon 2 equal to 7 upon 2. Here we see that 2, 2 cancel out and this implies 1 plus x equal to 7. This implies x equal to 7 minus 1. Therefore x equal to 6 and now on comparing the coordinates of y that is 4 equal to 5 plus y upon 2. So this implies 5 plus y equal to 8. This implies y equal to 3. Therefore we can say that x equal to 6 and y equal to 3 is the required answer. So hope you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take care.


So today's radical feminism has morphed into a monster called inter-sectional feminism. So this is radical feminism. This brand of feminism seeks to incorporate feminism into the civil rights movement by creating a type of oppression hierarchy where some feminists are more oppressed than others based on their gender race or ethnicity class and ability or disability.  Black Lives Matter organization. Now black lives do matter. Of course I'm half black so at least half of my life matters. What we know about black lives matters that it's not about justice for black men at all in fact the organization is explicitly and fundamentally against black men.  I'm going to read now from their website their about page. I copied this down about a month ago since then they've changed it obviously because showing your cards sometimes isn't so good especially if you show them too quick. I couldn't believe how blatantly they were showing their cards so quickly but I guess we're there where they no longer have to hide. The cultural Marxism does not have to hide anymore. It's very obvious what's going on and they're making they're explicit about it and here's what they say on their website. We disrupt the prescribed nuclear family structure right there by supporting each other as extended families or villages that collectively care for one and another especially our children to the degree that mothers parents and children are comfortable. Where are the fathers? If these women are so interested in the lives of black men they would recognize that not having a father in the home is the main reason why there's so much chaos. There's so much death and destruction. They want nothing to do with the core issue. They want nothing to do with the solution. There's stirrers of sedition and chaos. Continue.  When we gather we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking. Chaos, disruption, destroying the culture from its most basic foundation. Is not right. But it's where we are. Next. BLM is radical feminism and it's no it's not hidden at all. You heard the objective of cultural Marxism.  Next. BLM is from hell. Co-founder discusses groups occult practices invoking spirits. African ancestral worship. Okay. Next. So this is this is the result of intersectional feminism. This is how chaotic it has become. This is how backwards we have become. This is how we've been ended up. This is the extreme end of Gramsci and Lucas' work in the 1930s. We're here. The result of radical feminism. 2020 has allowed radical feminism to show its true colors, reveal its true motives and unfold its satanic plan to create chaos and havoc in America under the guise of social justice. It's a lie. If there has been any doubt about the intentions of Marxism, socialism and feminism, it should now be very clear. Next. If we go back to feminism or we go back to the Frankfurt school, you'll notice that the stated objectives of the Frankfurt school, feminism seems to encourage each one of them. It's supposed to. That's the point. I've highlighted the ones that are most obvious. The creation of racism offenses, intersexual feminism. You've got to pin everybody against everybody else and create as many different factions and complaints as you possibly can. That's what it does. That's what critical theory does. That's what its point is. Continual change to create confusion. Once again, how many genders do we have? Feminism. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children. Feminism. Feminism. The undermining of schools, teachers and authority. That's sort of neutral. But if you consider the father authority, feminism. Huge immigration to destroy identity. Feminism. The promotion of excessive drinking, at least in women. I saw a meme the other day that said women today will drink like your father but they can't cook like your mother. Emptying of churches. Feminism. An unreliable legal system. And the empty church is, when I say feminism, the church is totally effeminate. From the Catholic churches, right through every single, pretty much every, uh, the nomination. The unreliable legal system, if you think about divorce rate, divorce courts, totally unreliable feminism. Dependency on the state and state benefits. Welfare. Feminism. Control and dumbing down the media in America. Just watch. How is it that ghostbusters are all of sudden women? Why is every superhero a woman now? It's laughable. It's like men are weaker now and we need women to save us. Feminism. Encouraging the breakdown of the family, obviously. Feminism. Next. Now, you gotta understand here that I'm not picking on women at all. I got three daughters. I've been married to my wife for 18 years. We've been together since we were 20, since we were 14 years old. I love women. But you gotta understand this has to be pointed out because you gotta point evil out when evil is present. No matter who feelings you hurt as a result. Big part of the problem with cultural Marxism in our culture right now is that, that political correctness has got us all biting our lip. We gotta call it like it is. And the fact is feminism hurts women also. Pulling from Greg Adams' book, The Evolution, Feminism's Reverse Engineering of the American Woman, 60 million abortions since 1973. Abortion is baby killing. If you call it what it is, you start to think about it the way you should think about it. It's pure straight up baby murder.  And it's a evil, evil practice. 52% of women are single. Well, what does that mean? 25% of them are in mental health medication. 45% of American children are born to unwed mothers. 67% of marriages end in divorce and 80% of the divorces are initiated by women. 93% of alimony is paid from mental women and 83% of women receive primary custody of their children. If you're a woman and you listen to that, you might say, wow, that sounds great, but check this out. 72% of the inmates in state prisons were raised by single mothers. You're not doing a good job by yourself or meant to do a good job by yourself. You need us. Next.


Also, ladies and gentlemen, while we're standing outside here, you can see just how much attention to detail Galencia has brought when it comes to the security, when it comes to the electric fence, when it comes to the wrought iron gates Galencia has spared no expense to make sure that when you do live in this development, you feel comfortable and you feel secure So let's head on in. Let's speak to some of the guys that are involved with Galencia And let's talk a little bit more about something that might be your next home As you can see as soon as you come through the gating it is still boomed off.  Morton playing one of the sales executives Yeah, we are trying to keep our social distancing and Adhere to all of the safety protocols. So we throw in a mask on each. I don't have the nice branded one Thank you so much for taking some time. I think I really appreciate it What I've likely start off with is a question I start off with all the times whenever I've been doing the development show And that is tell us a bit about yourself Tell us about Galencia and tell us what a client can expect if they decide to go on this journey Okay, so yeah, I'm Martin clean. Um, I've been with the company since July. Um, I came out of aviation before this Um, what the people can expect with Galencia? You've been in South Africa for the past 19 years With a new development with farm view.  This is how nice and peaceful and serene the area Is we've got a beautiful fountain behind us So from view latest development, how many units or can we expect in yet in total? There's 189 units. Um, which is 27 blocks So we have one bit one bath two by two bath and then three by two baths as well Okay, so you've definitely covered all your bases and amenities. So if I decide to curtain senior I mean the houses are beautiful. I have seen the houses You guys are definitely going to be able to see those houses as well If I decide to curtain senior, what amenities are available for me for the minute? Okay, so we have the cup house. Um, the cup house comes with a kitchen and a boardroom It comes with a TV space area as well as with a swimming pool as well And you can book that clubhouse. So if I'm having a function, yeah, if I'm having a birthday I'm allowed to book the clubhouse You can book it out for the whole day and then probably out for around about 10 or 11 o'clock Beautiful. Now another thing I wanted to ask you is before we look at the units less pork price What kind of price you can expect? Okay, so the unit starts off at for the one bit one bath size such as for nine for just below a million Two bit two baths will start at 1.660 and then your three bit two baths start at 1.850 And it was the perfect segue to run right into the units But before we do that, I wanted to touch on location We're in the heart of four ways Talk to me about why this location and what this location is going to offer different people who are going to move in here Okay, so um What the Lensha does is we try to get the In the heart, like you said, in the heart of our four ways and everything is close by we have Um Monte Cassino close by we have a leaping club We have Cedar Square so everything is within the area so about 10 minutes away from the highways as well Um, so everything is like it's a very lovely neighborhood as well So we try and fit everything within within the area or 10 10 kilometers radius Well on that note, I think it's time to take a look at the unit Quite a really nice feature that I've found is it actually placed the geyser and the gas Outside of the unit so you never need to worry about a geyser burst You never need to worry about a gas leak It's placed outside the unit completely safe and there are two lockable doors, which is really nice to know And here we are ladies and gentlemen unit number one The door that I've seen they've done something different with is that they actually put skirting around the door Which is really nice looks really unique and also it does look luxurious like Monte mentioned really story door really nice lock Come on in The kitchen immediately you can see they've taken a lot of time and they've paid a lot of attention to detail We've got some beautiful Caesar stone countertops The water doesn't come with the house when you purchase a house here You're gonna get a bottle of champagne You're gonna get some balloons they're gonna make you feel like an occasion But as I mentioned they've got beautiful Caesar stone countertops. They've got soft closing Doors, you don't need to worry about the slam when you're cooking when you're getting ready when you're getting your Jamie Oliver on We've all done it We've opened the door a drawer and slammed the clothes. You don't need to worry about it They have thought of that another thing that they've thought of and this does come standard ladies and gentlemen You only the option to see if it's included in the price is this right here gets to the fridges Built in fridge right there hidden away So you don't need to worry about anything unsightly spoiling the attention to detail that paid you Again, you've got a double basin really big really easy. Nice to know space for an appliance But not just one appliance Two appliances. Here is your dishwasher also hidden away. You don't need to worry about it as we carry on four top stove burner And another thing that really speaks volumes about the attention to detail of pay is These are your holders for your spice trays for your serving spoons and not only can you move them around you can also Take them right off take them outside to where you're going to have a bribe But we'll be talking about the garden area in just a bit Let me put this down Another thing I do want to show you Is this is your extractor It turns on immediately when you put it up And when you put it back in it turns off comes with a light There's a switch. Yeah, let's switch there that controls speeds as well. That's all full talk That's a really cool attention to detail and I must admit. I love it. Let's move on to the lounge seat Now the wall color is not standard But it does showcase you just how nice and just how much time you can put into making this your home Here we go massive lounge Especially for these types of units usually when you're purchasing units into these complexes You need to worry about the size and yeah, you don't these are Very very spacious. You can easily fit one of your old-shape cars in here. This is your wall unit This again does not come standard But it's here to give you an idea of what you can do in these units Plane to space as we've seen Another feature I want to point out in my camera making the turnaround is to get look at the beautiful Chandeliers there in the kitchen absolutely stunning Plenty of space plenty of light There's also something I found specifically when I'm looking for my own homes That there's a lot of trouble finding homes that are bottom floor ground floor with light and there's plenty of lights in here So window here. Yes, you're sliding towards to go to the garden area, which I'm very keen for you to see Now immediately you can see the space here to sit down Enjoy yourself. Enjoy the arm doors You've got a storage cupboard here for a little bit more stuff that you don't want to bring indoors You don't want to do to your house. Let's take a look at the garden massive Wrap around garden as you can see this is not something that comes standard with every single house So it's very nice to see how glencher has optimized their usage of space To make sure that they can give the ground floor units gardens like this. Let's take a look at how far this goes Right over here Is another feature I quite like And that is it's a space to put your laundry. It's not going to dirty the garden. It's not going to Mess up your feng shui. You've got a little spot here You can put your laundry you can put some other stuff here that you'd like to store Really nice to see their utilization of space And here we go the backside of the patio Leads us straight into the master bedroom a theme of plenty of space for your kings and your queen size beds and A bathroom en suite Now the bathroom the first thing I want to mention is really solid door beautiful And another thing that you've seen that paid attention to Is the mirror for everybody purchasing. This is a couple You know your wife or your girlfriend is going to love doing their makeup in a mirror like this You've got a shower in and a walk-in shower massive beautiful really nice some storage in the back Your laundry bin and we're going to go and take a look at our second bedroom Here we are second bedroom again nice soft clothes cupboards another thing I want to point out is how much thought went into the plug positionings In your bedrooms and something you don't think of until you need it and you can see that there's a plug point Yeah, there's also two plug points on either side of the bed So if you do want to put up a flash bin TV watch some tv in bed on those rainy stormy nights you can You've got plug points for your lamps. You don't need to worry about this and once again Huge high ceilings big big bedrooms and this is the second bedroom. So it's really nice to see that that's available Let's take a look at the bathroom Second bathroom comes again with the beautiful mirror that turns on you've got a shower And you've got a ball and what's really nice about the shower Is it really is a special occasion when you can open your doors So it's really nice to see the thought that they put in there Here we are with Loreto Jander Loreto is also one of the sales executives for Galencia and Loreto I wanted to ask you. What is your favorite feature of the South? Favorite feature of Palm View is I think it's everything. It's everything the way they've done this development is absolutely spectacular I think if I were to name a few would be the signature mirrors Yeah, because I mean make up faces. I even like the signature mirrors. Yeah, right the cupboards the appliances that they have Fitted into the units. That's also something very unique not everything I looked in terms to So those are like my main main ones, but everything is beautiful And those are also quite big selling points when customers come to view and they see this Those are the things that captures their heart and makes them want to buy it. So if I want to purchase into you When can I move in? When is this development ready? Is it really currently? So we have phases that are available. We do have people already living in the stage that is phase one phase two um, we are finishing phase three and four And phase five as well. So there's five favorite most development and ideally they will be completed by February Completely by February. Yes, but once we're done with the phase people are able to move in. So there's still time If you aren't there and you're busy selling your house and you're looking for your next unit There is still time contact Loreto Loreto the other thing I want to ask is for our viewers who are still on the wall And they're looking at this and like this is absolutely stunning But I want to take a look at some other freestanding houses, you know, maybe I still want to chop a lot What are the pros or purchasing within the development within the sustain within form view Over just purchasing a normal house on the side of the road you're moving in there What's part of you and probably purchasing with the development? I would always say it's more for security purposes I mean, we've seen in videos trending of like housebreakers and small understandable homes So I think here you actually have much more security because there's neighbors and you also have um a body corporate That governs the state so yeah in those I would say that actually is one of the pros of buying within a within a development I've also noted cctv around here. Yes. So we have cctv around and we have been for our security boundary walls More of a security site. So there's very intense security So no reason to even lock it or cctv another thing I wanted to ask you is from an investment perspective What makes this a good investment because when you're purchasing I think a lot of people especially the newer generation is trying to look at houses and say hey, this is a nice place I want to live But what happens in 10 15 years time when I sell am I going to be stuck with something that's going to be Difficult to sell so from an investment point of view. How is this looking? Okay? First of all, I think let me just say um investing with property is one of the best investments That anyone can look into rather than investing your money on shares or anything like that Which could obviously go up and down at any time, but with property I mean you are secured in you putting your money this way So with this development it isn't for waste and it's closer to land Syria Land Syria is going to be an international airport So a lot of people are going to be moving this side. So investing here and probably in 10 15 years time Your proper property sorry would have doubled by by then Yeah, you mentioned that land Syria airport and I think it's so crucial actually because a lot of people might forget or not Even know that with the four ways more remodeling with land Syria about to become an international airport With staying city just up the road. I think any property you purchase in four ways is going to be a good investment because everything is going to Doubling value. We've heard so many times we've read people saying this is going to be the next Sands and four four ways is going to be the next Central business district. So really it's so nice to see that Galicia is not only going to be able to put in a state in four ways Because land is at a premium put it at such an affordable price and make it so big How did you guys manage to make these units so long? Okay, so in previous developments that way we did we used to kind of make the space smaller and have more units But with palm view it was a little bit of a different approach We decided on having only 189 units in this development. So that's something very unique And also we've given more space inside the homes outside the homes So people don't feel like they need to leave their homes Just to get a you please you have a inside and outside your home I mean, I'm absolutely loving sitting on the verandahia the porch the stoop I don't know. I'm just enjoying the sunshine enjoying the breeze. No, it's stunning in here Another question I wanted to ask is for first time buyers You've told me it's a bit of a passion of yours, you know helping these first time buyers achieve their dreams What advice would you give them if there was one piece of advice or even two if you've got more What advice would you give first time buyers who are looking to purchase into property? Okay, so one of the first advice of that if you have A good credit history, let's talk. Um, we always are open for consultation We do require 20,000 round deposit which is refundable to Whoever would have bought the home. We would take it through a process of obviously Applying for a bond. We have a specific bond department that we do that for the people So we would coach people from the beginning to the end of the process So no need to worry for first time buyer. I know people sometimes want to buy without getting the proper consultation So we would take them through that even guide them through the whole process of purchasing and even with the with the hand over Of the of the home It's really nice to see the amount of effort Galencia puts into dealing with their clients and making sure they're comfortable throughout the process Because a lot of people are scared of getting into that situation We have now put them off into purchase and as soon as everything's signed and sealed you don't really hear from your USA agent or your realtor they're not really interested in taking you further or even They're not really even interested in helping you achieve the dream and making sure you're comfortable in that So it's really nice to hear the amount of effort Galencia puts into Yeah, we definitely go all out. We believe in keeping good relationships. It's actually one of our high guys Say good people with good people good business with good good business You know, it's very nice to hear that you do that because you made some time for us today to come You put the showhouse on pause so that we can do this and show that the clients to jump on to private property What they can get into if they go down this road to Galencia And that leads me to my last question before we cut and take a greater view of this estate And that is you've got a relationship with private property. You've had it for quite some time now How has it helped your marketing? How has it helped? I don't think we would be selling out as much as we are with our private property Honestly speaking, even with this development as much as we are so these are the things but we're almost almost sold out So that's how much private property has been helped a lot of help to us. So yeah Right, I love you and I hope we continue to have you sold out I know that you obviously now finishing up with this development What are the developments at Galencia where you play? Okay, so we have plans to develop very next year in mid-range We will have a beautiful beautiful property palm view Standard if not better In mid-range and we also have plans to develop in Cape Town Durban and Pretoria Well, there you go ladies and gentlemen Galencia knows exactly what they're doing 14 developments previously This is now coming into their 15th and 16th as lorato's mentioned guys Let's take a look around palm view explore with us and we hope to see you next time on the developer show Lorato, thank you so much. Thank you so much. I can't wait to see the other ones. All right. Let me show you around then Everyone at home. Thank you and goodbye
