Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Rather good afternoon, everyone. It's already one o'clock. Thank you for joining us for this important announcement today, relating to the mayor's appointment of the civilian representative to the handshift committee. Before I turn it over to our mayor, I just wanted to note the presence of some very important people here who have done a lot in this area over the years. And who are here in support of this appointment. First, I'd like to note several of the council, the class council, who were involved for the plaintiffs in the handshift litigation. Jeffrey Eisenstein, Martin Stolar, Franklin Segal, Arthur Eisenberg. Also want to note the attendance here today of Naz Ahmad, who is the attorney at the Clear Project at CUNY, as well as a council to the plaintiffs in Raza versus the city of New York. Also Christopher Bai, the membership director at the Asian American Bar Association of New York. And then some additional folks, Ahmed Mohamed, legal director at the Council on American Islamic Relations of New York. Layla Hadzik, the president of the Muslim Bar Association of New York, and Tamana Hussein, the vice president of Mubani. And so we appreciate everyone's presence here and support here today. And with that, I will turn it over to our mayor, Eric Adams. And can we, those names that you mentioned, can you join us? Because one day this photo is going to be in the Museum of the City of New York. And if there's anyone that you mentioned that's not here with us, please feel free to join us. We want you to be documented this historical moment that we're participating in. You know, this is a significant day for me and I continue as we outline our policies and outline what we do. I continue to reflect on my life, not only as a child, but my professional life as a police officer, the co-founder of 100 Black Civil Enforcement Care, and just part of the journeys that I endured before I got here. You know, oftentimes people know the glory of being the mayor, but you need to know the story of what I went through to get here. As a lieutenant in the police department, I was under surveillance by the police department for a substantial period of time and it came out in federal court that I was being followed by the department that I was a part of. I advocated on behalf of making sure Henshu was doing its job correctly. And I heard from many of my Muslim brothers and sisters during the time that people were going into their mosque or they were following them. There were things that I thought was done that was improper. And I spoke out against that as a police officer because no one should be targeted or focused on merely because of their way of life, their religious belief, or who they are. And the countless number of Muslims, over a million Muslims in this city, who every day go about providing their jobs, go about looking at their families and safety and their religious right, they were treated unfairly. And they were basically stigmatized and demonized because of a numerical minority that exploited a religion. And it still impacts me today on Coney Island Avenue, going there after September 11, 2001, and watching that community decimate it. I stood on 30th Street and 3rd Avenue, where young men were swept up in the middle of the night in federal penitentiary calling for the right for them to be treated in a fair way. This announcement today is not an announcement I'm doing because it's politically correct, but it is another area of my life that I am saying from what I've learned, what I saw, that this is the right thing to do.  You are waiting for this moment for us to do the right thing in the handshoe area and making sure it was done right. So Brendan McGuire, my counselor, he found you, and he stated that, Eric, I have the perfect person, and I looked over your resume, and I was just really pleased. And it may get lost in the complete story, but there's some significant things that I zeroed in right away. John Jay College, my alma mater, CUNY Law School, your dad was a cab driver. Still is. Still is, still is a cab driver. And when you look at the makeup of not your resume, your professional resume, it's the makeup of your life. That is the qualitative, emotionally intelligent people we need to be in these important decisions. And I'm just proud for you to be there. You're going to be the only civilian member to be in a room with law enforcement. I have the utmost faith in Chief Galati, but you have to go in there and stand on behalf of what's right. You know, we have, in my optic view, sometimes when we're in law enforcement, we view things differently, and we need that civilian oversight and view at the table because this is not a police state. This is the United States. And that means our civilian runs our country. And so your presence is important. It's my honor to appoint to this important handshield committee, Mohammed Faradi as the civilian representative of the handshield committee. He's the first Muslim American to fulfill this important role, something that if you are keeping count, you hear that often in our administration as we dismantle those historical barriers that prevent successful qualitative people to come into an administration and make these decisions that impact the diversity of the city. I know how important it is. And I am deeply committed to fairness and accountability and policing. And as Mayor, it is my responsibility to ensure that all New Yorkers, regardless of their background, enjoy equal protection under the law. The guidelines that regulate police investigation to political or religious activity were created back in 1980s during the time of my start in law enforcement. And in 2017, the handshield committee was created in response to federal lawsuits that alleged improper investigation by the NYPD into the Muslim community. So it's especially fitting that a respected member of the Muslim community is appointed to this oversight role. We did not hear one negative thing about your appointment. And that's impossible with a city with 8.5 million people and 35 million opinions. You know, no one had a negative comment about your appointment. And so you are the person that's the right person for the right time, and you received overwhelming community support, not only in your community, but outside your community. Your experience as a litigator who has served as the chair of the Executive Committee of the New York City Bar Association, and I am proud that you served on our advisory committee on the judiciary. Mohammed, you have continued to serve all New Yorkers and will be the civilian representative of the handshield committee. Our city prosperity depends on justice and safety. And civilian oversight makes justice for all possible. And now I want to invite Mohammed to speak and just say congratulations for you and thank you for taking this awesome responsibility. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you for the very kind remarks. I wish my mother was here to hear all of that. This is a very important role. And as the mayor noted, the work of this committee is of extraordinary importance, not just to the Muslim community, but to all communities in New York. The oversight structure that has been set up and approved by the federal court. It's unprecedented. It's extraordinary. And the role that the civilian representative has in that particular structure is also unprecedented. And the representative, as the mayor mentioned, is charged with ensuring equal protection of the law in police surveillance and police investigations and reporting any systematic and repeated violations of individuals, civil liberties and civil rights to the federal court. I want to recognize the important work that my predecessor, Judge Stephen Robinson, did on the committee. I hope to emulate his work. If I do that by a fraction, I would be honored. And as the first Muslim representative on this committee, that particular note is not lost on me. The community, the Muslim community and all communities, I understand that they're looking at me and they want to make sure that the NYPD does the right thing and some of the most important work that the NYPD does for our city in our country. I look forward to working with Chief Galati and the other members of the of the of the committee on this very important on the very important work that they do. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So I'd now like to introduce Chief Galati, who has been the backbone of the NYPD's intelligence division for many years now, as just as he and his team embraced the work and the partnership with Judge Stephen Robinson, Muhammad's predecessor. They were also instrumental in this selection process and are just as supportive as the rest of us are about his appointment. So I'll invite Chief Galati to come up to say a few words as well. Thank you. And good afternoon to everybody. I just want to begin by thanking Judge Stephen Robinson for the he's the first civilian representative to the handshift committee for his wise and thoughtful counsel. He has been critically important to our department in the bureau in our bureau for the past five years. He has unselfishly filled his role, donating his own time to the people of the city of New York, and it's a tremendous service that he the first person to assume the role of civilian representative. So thank you, Judge Robinson. The civilian representative plays a vital role in providing us with the objective perspective on issues of paramount and for importance. On behalf of the intelligence bureau and kind intelligence bureau, we would like to welcome Mr. Muhammad Furedi as he assumes the role of the civilian representative to handshift committee. Mr. Furedi brings an extraordinary level of experience and knowledge. We look forward to working with you, Mr. Furedi, as the goal is of the intelligence division to keep the city safe by adhering to the handshift guidelines. Thank you, sir. And then we also have, as the mayor pointed out, Mr. Furedi is a true product of the city as an alum of both John Jay and CUNY Law School. And we are happy to say we're joined here today by CUNY Law School's Dean, Suda Seti, and so I will invite her to come up and share a few words as well. So thank you very much and thank you, Mayor Adams, for having me and to the entire staff for your work with the handshift committee and for your appointment of Muhammad Furedi, a proud alum of CUNY Law School as the civilian representative. I also want to acknowledge the work that Naz Ahmad and Ramzi Qasem form from the creating law enforcement accountability and responsibility clinic at CUNY Law School have been doing over the years, often with Muhammad and his firm Patterson Belknap to advocate for New Yorkers who are in need and New Yorkers who perhaps have not been treated as fairly as they should by the systems that help to protect all of us and to keep us safe. I acknowledge like many of us that Muhammad is a wonderful devoted lawyer and servant and as the Dean of CUNY Law School I get to thank him not so much for his work with the city bar and everything else, but for his work with the law school for giving back to us in our community at the law school foundation for being a thought partner and generosity of mind and spirit with what you do. And I am sure that those are the qualities that you will bring to this important crucial work that the handshift committee is doing. You exemplify what we do at CUNY Law School in terms of law and service of human needs and doing that in an important role that helps us live up to the ideals of protecting New York and protecting people's humans and human and civil rights everywhere. So congratulations Muhammad and thank you for the work you're about to embark on. Quite well. How are you? Question for you. You know you spoke a lot about technology and how you want to harness it specifically with NYPD for help solve crimes. I think some of the technologies that have been out there or maybe that will be in the future could provide more firepower for surveillance. And so I'm wondering if you think this committee has sort of an increased importance now with maybe some of the new tools we don't even know their impacts yet coming. No, I don't think is a greater importance because they have a mayor that's not going to allow us to violate what handshift stands for. I think that we sort of underestimate of having a mayor that fought on behalf of not having over abuse and protecting people. You cannot break the law to protect people within the law. And I stated that over and over again. I don't know how all of a sudden my historical advocacy around that has been rewritten. I have been the leading voice in this city and country about protecting the rights of people. We can use technology and cameras technology. And thank God we have cameras in our city because we catch bad and dangerous people, but we should not be abusing it. We're not going to abuse the law in high behind we're protecting the law. And like I stated, I have utmost respect for the ability of Chief Galati has done an amazing job of keeping our city safe and going after those who want to destroy our way of life. Anyone else can kind of just explain what your time commitment is to this. And if you want to talk a little bit about any previous cases you've worked on and other prior experience you've had that makes you such a great fit for this position. They were laughing in the back. I don't know how much time. I understand this is going to require a significant time commitment and have had many conversations with Brendan and others about it. And to make space for this in my time I'm going to step away from Mayor York committee on the advisory committee on the judiciary, which was another significant time commitment. I do some work at the bar association and I'm going to step away from that. And my firm is fully committed to giving me the opportunity and the time to work on this. I will have to deal with my clients. That's a different issue, but I'm sure my clients will also be happy to see me serve the city in this role. I do teach at Fordham now. And that's I teach one semester a year and I think I'll have to reconsider that next year. My semester this year is going to come to an end in May. I've enjoyed teaching. I've done it for the past five years. And I think I'll have to reconsider whether I want to do that next year. I'm just considering this committee has it's mostly made up of NYPD. You know how much power does the civilian member have to like influence decisions or investigations. A lot the way the handshift guidelines are laid out. If he or she believes something is done incorrectly they have an opportunity to communicate with the police commissioner. And then they can go to the judge. So there's some real protections here. And the goal is to make sure it's effectively done. Maybe Brendan could give an update on the 2017 lawsuit by Black Lives Matter protesters involving surveillance tactics that the police use. I know in 2019 a judge ordered the NYPD to turn over what they had on that. But I don't know what has happened since. And I'd also be interested in hearing from Mr. Faridia what he thinks of that case. I'll just say that there are elements of that are elements of that case that are still ongoing with with with the city's law department. So I'm not going to comment on the ongoing litigation. There's been no documents turned over regarding the court. I don't I don't know enough to say that there's been no documents turned over. I just know that there are parts of it that are still pending. Yeah. I don't know if you want to comment on. I have nothing to comment. Nothing to provide rather. I'm not the counsel in that case. I haven't followed the I know as much as you do. I remember reading about it and the judges order in 2019. But above and beyond that I don't have any information. I just wanted to follow up on Joe's question about the new technology. Is that like for instance facial recognition technology? Is that something that even the Henshield committee is responsible for looking at? I was wondering if somebody could give us a sense of like what specifically my understanding is that it's to determine whether an investigation be brought forward on terrorism or political activity. But can somebody just give us a sense of what it encompasses and what it doesn't. So what it really encompasses is the justification for an investigation in layman lay person's terms. And it's not looking at a particular particular types of issues like surveillance or the use of search warrants or other types of law enforcement techniques. What it is doing is it is ensuring consistent with the consent decree in the case that the NYPD is following the guidelines as those are prescribed as they justify a case when they open a case when they characterize a case in a particular way. And so there is an incredible, I mean this is, and Mr. Faridhi commented on it earlier, this is an incredible mechanism. This is not common in the rest of the world. It allows for this committee and in particular this representative to get access and Chief Galati can speak to this to get access to incredibly sensitive information in real time to ensure that there is this civilian outsider perspective in the case of Mr. Faridhi. A non law enforcement perspective, he does not have a law enforcement background and that is also I think important to point out. So it is about what they call the justification or the predication for investigations to ensure that the foundation for those is solid before they proceed. Just a quick follow-up. Do you feel that this sort of mechanism should be replicated in municipalities, other parts of the country? I mean it sounds like it's pretty unique to New York City. And it is. When I speak with my colleagues across the country, I think that people can learn from what the Hanshu decision has brought about and I think it's something that could be duplicated. They must do the analysis to determine that does it fit of what they see as proper practices in their municipalities. But I believe it's a real plus and hopefully others will look at what we're doing, having a civilian aspect of it. I just believe it's crucial. At least among some folks that the NYPD takes the threat of left-wing protests, for example Black Lives Matter, more seriously than right-wing, for example pro-life protesters, that sort of thing. Do you have this sentiment? Do you think that the NYPD could, I don't know, I guess have a, is the NYPD biased in that way? Would you like to see any changes? And what do you personally think is the biggest threat, the biggest political threat to New York City? You know when I became mayor I was able to get briefings on some of those sensitive issues. And let's be clear, the NYPD does not sit behind the door and say a threat that came from a left-wing or right-wing or moderate. We're going to investigate differently. It's clear. Safety to New York City is going to respond correctly. It doesn't matter if it's the proud boys or if it's the boys hanging out in the bar. They're going to do the same. And I just really push back on anyone that believes based on the political philosophy of an individual they're going to have a less of an investigation. That's just not going to happen. And as dawn should not going to happen, I'm the mayor of this city. Okay, let's do a few off-topics. Should I have Galati hang out with me just in case some of these guys give rough? No, it's all great. Thank you. Congratulations to you. Bernadette. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in Staten Island, a place that's very popular with former President Donald Trump.  She was poking fun at the out migration from New York to Florida. But then DeSantis also in his speech was talking to members of law enforcement saying, listen, and I'm paraphrasing, some of you cops, et cetera, come to Florida. And he also was poking fun at the state's bail laws and lack of judicial discretion on this data. I'm just wondering what do you make of that? Again, on the out migration aspect and also him specifically talking about crime, which has been your number one issue. Well, listen, if someone states that it is wrong to rob someone, then we all should say it doesn't matter, you know, what political place we belong to doesn't matter what our beliefs are, you know, crime is in far too many states in our region. But there's a qualitative difference from what we believe here. Our governor, what I believe and what he believes we don't believe in treating people differently. They're part of the LGBTQ plus community. We just don't believe in the things that he believe in. We don't believe in using asylum seekers as props, sending them around the country. So there's a philosophical disagreement. And as he came to the city, I wanted him to understand this is a city where we have a different philosophy and far too many of the things he believe in. But hey, all of us believe that people should have the right to safety and not support that. And I'm happy to know that he believes that as well. But you have to back that up and not support the overproliferation of guns in our country that is harmless far too many New Yorkers. Philosophy, then you said that New Yorkers do. Then why was he so comfortable to come here and, you know, so far ahead, or not so far ahead, but to essentially start this campaign, he is going to be running for president. Why is he so comfortable here and talking about that message? Everybody's comfortable coming to New York. This is a diverse city. And you're going to find those who will embrace your philosophy, no matter who you are. They had a smaller number, but it's it's clear that this New York, this city and this diversity, like I say, I say it all the time 8.5 million people, 35 million different opinions. And so he went to a location and spoke to individuals who he believed felt the same way that he did. You know, would you get that same belief in his philosophy throughout the entire city? No, I don't think so. The comments just now regarding the LGBT community regarding the Staten Island St. Patrick's Parade exclusion continues. The community board has called on you to cease city resources going toward the parade, police sanitation, that sort of thing. What is your position on that? And what steps would you like to take to see the parade become more inclusive? I'm not marching. I'm hoping that they do become more inclusive. It's so important for us to continue to evolve some of the things of mindsets and thoughts are just outdated. They just outdated and we all have to evolve in the way we think. But I'm surprised that the community board with state take resources away like police and fire. That just makes no sense. It makes no sense. We have an obligation to make sure that any event in our city is properly protected and we properly ensure that it's done in an orderly fashion. And I'm not going to allow my belief in how the parade is not inclusive enough to get in the way of my role as the mayor to make sure large gatherings are receiving the proper police protection that after parades things are cleaned up because they're residents that live in that community and it's the right thing to do. And I'm not going to mix the two. I'm not marching in the parade. I am hoping that they've reached the point of continuing understanding that it's about allowing people to participate based on their beliefs. And we should continue to move in that direction. You wrote a little bit ago about Richard who was appointed as a deputy commissioner at the Department of Buildings. And I believe at that level that sign off goes all the way up to you as mayor. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about you know this was a big role and a big jump for him from where he was as an assistant chief inspector. Just what some of his qualifications were. And then you know just a quick follow up a lot of other employees at that level. And I think in all city government kind of go through a lot of different steps promotions and raises. So I'm curious you know he made a pretty big jump. Was there any sort of special circumstances that contributed to that? The former commissioner that was there did an extensive search and came up with the best names. And when it was brought to us in my administration on all high level I raised the question. I said why are we doing this. This is a substantial increase. We brought them back in which I normally don't do. We brought them back in as a second round to justify. It was clear from the commissioner he was the best qualified. He brought a level of expertise and experience that was important. And after speaking to the commissioner and deputy mayor we said OK you can move ahead. But a number of people if you do an analysis that has substantial increases because there was a lot of experienced people who were being left behind. Who had great ideas. They brought great expertise great knowledge and government. But for whatever reason they were not allowed to move up. And so if you were to do analysis of how many people who were in the fields for years that they were brought to us in our analysis. And we stated that this is a good decision and a good movement for them. And based on what was shared with me he had to he was the best qualified that put him for the position. The commissioner at the time felt that he would have done he would have done he's going to do a great job. And I have not heard any complaints over there. But we need to be clear you know because I don't want to get a distorted view. This is not a friend. This is an employee that was brought to me by the commissioner. Just talking about some of the other folks who kind of were in that same position where they had kind of been overlooked. Do you mean just within DOV or have you found that in other agencies of agencies. I found in many agencies and I have to take my head off to the deputy mayors in the commissioners. They have gone into their agencies and started to look for talent that was overlooked for many years. And they brought that talent forward. And not only did it help in our diversity it helped diversity and gender and ethnicity. It also allowed us to hear from people who were on the ground and not only into the Department of Builders but in several of our agencies. We've had a lot of talent that was sitting on the bench and we've opened the bench to hear from those different groups. And I'm very excited about about the product. And you know you know you one could critique this administration as much as possible. But I mean our talent in this team is a great team. This team is a committed dedicated team. And we continue to move the ball down the field with all of the crises that we've been inundated with of this team is doing an amazing job. I'm going out tonight to ride the subway with some of our outreach workers. Many of them were doing this job had great ideas. They should now move up. They shouldn't have to only spend their entire career doing the same job when they bring more expertise.  That came through a foil not from an announcement from your office. So one why keep that a secret. And then two what's the message you're trying to send to the MTA and the governor on by appointing yourself. Well did you get my smile. Well first for my first deputy mayor Lorraine Grillo stated that it was through her office that we wanted an appointment. It didn't necessarily have to be me. You know we wanted an appointment from the mayor's mayor's office. I have stated several times that I believe the New York City should have an appointment from each borough that would sit on the board. I think New York City is treated unfairly. You know the largest ridership with the economic engine. We are just not having our voices being heard. So it wasn't that Eric needed to sit on the board. That was not it. It was that first deputy mayor Lorraine Grillo stated that from the mayor's office someone should sit on the board. Well I have so much to do. I have so much to do. You know it could be anyone you know Brittany can do it you know. Yes I wanted to ask you my colleague Greg Smith today wrote a story about DCAS and the city auctioning off for really pennies on the dollar. Some of the hundreds of millions of dollars of items that were purchased during peak COVID sort of emergency procurements. A follow up question is you know some of the stuff that was auctioned off. Is stuff that you think the city might want if there ever is another situation like we had with COVID. Does the city feel confident enough you know with its stockpile of hospital gowns and remember you know back in 2020 they have hospital gowns. So is there confidence that the city already has enough stuff or could easily get this if there is you know unfortunately not but if there is another pandemic and I guess if you have any thoughts on it. I know you weren't the mayor at the time but it was a lot of money spent under these emergency contracts and not as much coming out after. You know this is a case where the rule does not fit the circumstance. The charter calls for a 90 day stockpile. After that 90 day we have to make the determination of my understanding either to auction it off give it away or discard it. That's just a bad rule. And so as you stated hundreds of millions of dollars were auctioned off for 500,000 dollars. We need to reexamine that rule of COVID created an environment that none of us expected. And so we had to purchase far more than what we would have traditionally purchased. So somewhere in the charter rule we need to state that under certain circumstances we are not forced with hey it's 90 days let's get rid of this stuff no matter what the cost is that's associated with it. I think that that needs to be reexamined and I'm going to communicate with the team and figure out what options do we have because taxpayers dollars should be spent better but that is a charter rule 90 days. And some of the stuff now let's be clear some of the stuff was no longer any good. If it said it's expired and we can we can get pennies on the dollars for because what does not meet our criteria may meet another criteria and another municipality. So we had to reply to that 90 day it wasn't as though we said let's just sell this stuff off and give it whatever we want. It was a charter of a commitment of decision to charter mandate I was trying to find that stated this is what we have to do in 90 days. You know. There's been a lot of talk over the last couple of weeks about all of the casino applications that I've come in. I it's my understanding that you or representative will be appointed to many of these boards that have to oversee the applications or examine them and decide whether or not they're a good fit. I'm wondering if you have a favorite thus far if you think there's a certain area of the city where a casino would be better versus let's say Times Square or city field just if you have a favorite. Not at all. And we are not engaged of my understanding I have not been following the casino dance because of my understanding is the gaming commission is going to make the ultimate decision. I just want you know down here you know as part of our rebuild recovery reinvent our city. I just you know the casino would help. Does it matter where it is. I'm in favor of having one here with the jobs of bringing people into the city we see how successful of the casino is out in Aqueduct. I just think that we should have it somewhere here in the city. I have not been following this at all of and I believe we have one role to do with some of the local stuff but other than that I'm not familiar with it at all. Another teenager died in the subway surfing incident and the amounts of the numbers the MTA doesn't specify subway surfing but people who are traveling quote outside of the train is skyrocketed. Is there any plan or NYPD any kind of plan to look at this review or to do something about. And I think the number was 500 percent increase you know and you know the number is one is too many and if you know if you have you know to the numbers going to is going to give the impression of an increase. And when I heard the story about this want this particular incident on how it unfolded yesterday you know it was just really traumatic on a number of occasion without going into the details of it. But you know I'm concerned about what happened. And this morning on our briefing we're going to do a series of things to raise awareness of you know exactly how to just touch the consciousness of our young people you know all of that.  You feel as though you know riding on top of the subway is you know just something that you know it's just subway surfing. And you know this was a really terrible tragic incident of this young man and our team is going to do a host of things to bring awareness to speak with other young people. And really show how dangerous it is you know we have some incidents with some young people survived from doing it. But I saw a video a few weeks ago when we had around about five or six young people on top of the train. And so an incident like this ends in tragedy. But when it doesn't young people have a tendency to believe it's not a dangerous encounter it's very dangerous. I don't think that we have properly analyzed what social media is doing to us in general specifically to our young people. And I am hoping that the president calls a National Blue Ribbon Commission to really analyze this thing that has really dropped into our lives. How it has impact young girls on how they feel about themselves. There is a social media contest that you are doing a competition of going to steal. I think the cars are Kia cars one of these cars. You know that the young people are doing subway surfing of you know I mean when you look at I don't know if we really understand that when you're in your most impressionable years and you are being fed this stuff all day every day all day every day. You know some of these sites they're more addicted to drugs people can't get off them and you start duplicating this behavior. And we must look at drill music. You know some of these things we're calling our young people to do how to define in themselves you know depression teaching suicide. I mean this stuff is just how to make a gun. And then they act like they're not doing anything wrong.  And then when you look at what happened in Buffalo with the Buffalo shooter he was radicalized on social media. Social media is impacting our lives and they're robbing our children of their innocence. And I just believe on a national level that I think the national government must come in and say what is the corporate responsibility of social media. And I'm just surprised it hasn't been done. I've been talking about this for some time. There's a role social media is playing in what we're seeing carrying out in our society. Just to follow up on questions. Bernadette's question before on DeSantis. And you know I came up about the attrition and police migrating to down south to Florida to take jobs there. Does the NYPD need to hire more officers to account for that. And in the budget process the ongoing budget process how many more cops does the city need if that's the case. They will give you the exact number of how many more police officers we need. And I stated this before it was a misnomer that no one wants to join the New York City Police Department. That's just not true. What we were doing the process was taking too long. Commissioner Pinnock from DCAS speaking with the police commissioner and her team. We're now creating a different way for the exam to take place. We were waiting too long to do the exams and we have to have a real recruitment plan. You know our recruit the recruitment in our city historically has been waiting to people take an exam and we were not competitive enough. And we just were changing that. With our hiring halls as I mentioned last week 800 people showed up at the hiring halls. We're going to start being on college campuses. Our seniors who are graduating from school. We're going to start doing things differently to bolster our numbers. And the goal is that you know you're going to have everybody is going to try to get a New York City police officer to come to their municipality. This is the best trained police department. A police officer in New York City can go run some of the county's police department because of the level of training and experience that they receive. And so people are going to always try to grab our guys. But being a member of the New York City Police Department trust me there is no other law enforcement experience. And we're going to continue to recruit to bolster our numbers but we'll get the exact numbers that we need. Is that what we're talking about the target you guys want to hit as far as total number of cops? We'll find out what the exact numbers that the police commissioner needs. But you know we will make sure we have the proper number of police officers to keep the city safe. It's about keeping the city safe and they're doing a remarkable job. I always hear people talk about the morale of police officers. If the morale is low the product is not showing that. The number of arrests, the numbers of gun removals, the number of carrying out their actions every day. Our police officers are doing an amazing job under unusual circumstances. Mr. American we just went through caucus weekend you went up there. Can you give us an idea of how your conversations with all the law makers went especially when it comes to some of your priorities. Migrant funding, the MTA, all that. Good, good. I had some great conversations with the speaker. I saw the leader of the senate she was under the weather but she took out some times to speak. Meeting with other law makers up there had a real good. Some great forums, great panelists that would share some good information. I think it was a good week and caucus week is a good time to have an informal conversation. And I believe we're going to have an excellent year in Albany. We have some good things. We have a governor that we are aligned on some of the important issues and some issues that we disagree on. And we're going to speak with the leaders in both chambers and elected officials from New York City to make sure we, New York is not treated unfairly during this cycle. There's some real stuff. I was speaking with Brenda in the council over the weekend. We have to zero in on this cannabis stuff. This cannabis stuff is a real problem and we must make sure that we can't have people have a mockery of our system. I know the Post wrote a couple of articles right across the street with someone is, we go in, we do enforcement. I think we can only do $250 fine. I thought it was less than that. But, you know, that's the cost of doing business. And, you know, our police officers can take the necessary action. We need to be targeting those landlords that knowingly are renting the space. And so we're going to put a package together just to deal with cannabis. So this does not get out of hand. We're about up to about 1400, 1500 cannabis illegal cannabis shops. And it's not only that they're selling illegal cannabis, but they're targeting young people. They're opening their schools. You can't even sell alcohol in a certain distance of schools. They're targeting some of these products are targeting our young people. Now, I want everybody to go back to when I was on the debate stage. And I was asked a question about legalization of cannabis. And my approach was different from everyone else that was on that stage, because I was concerned about the signal that we were sending out. And I don't know who it was that did the story in Adele. I think it was the Daily News. It couldn't have been yours, Michael, because it was a great story, you know. But there was a story in the Daily News that showed the impact on cannabis in children. Children are getting high on the way to school. Children are taking these gummy bears. You know, I must be old fashioned, man. People don't realize what's happening in our country and our city. We have to start refocusing. These children are waking up in the morning, going into the store, getting gummy bears that's laced with marijuana, and then they're going to school and learn, and they're opening up all around us. No, no, no. We are losing our grip. And because I say no to that, I got to be the bad guy? No, I just know what it takes to raise healthy children and families. And we have created an environment in this city and countries where we are harming our children. We always talk about build a better planet for our children if they build better children for our planet. And we're not doing that. Thanks a lot.


Perfect pitch on a perfect day in this stadium. I'm Martin Tyler. He's Alan Smith alongside me We have Premier League action for you coming right up. It's Liverpool against Manchester United What an arena we've got here perfectly suited to football and two Very noisy sets of fans. What a backdrop that should be to what on paper should be an entertaining match This is the Liverpool side in goal is Allison Virgil van Dijk plays alongside Joe Gomez at the back Quickly when they get possession It's Marcia really get at the opposition here. He's made the interception Challenge in shop the Hammond Salah could be a cross here could be dangerous So are his teammates what a perfect day for football we've got here Martin Tyler here along with Alan Smith Premier League football is coming right up for you. It's Liverpool Manchester United. Yeah, thanks Martin looking forward to it I think we're gonna have an entertaining tussle here This is the Liverpool side Virgil van Dijk plays alongside Joe Gomez at the back Starts with Mohamed Salah in the wide positions and Roberto Firmino is the one striker Defenders managed to get in the way there It's Dikos down there. They weren't far off taking the lead there. Played pretty well. Put the corner in the middle Not able to take full advantage of a good position Cross tailored for Roberto Firmino played into the middle goal kick now They've got some very clever passing players in this game, haven't we we have a couple of lads here that use their teammates? Well with little one-twos. They're always looking for those given goes Roberto Firmino Here incident the big deflection


One of the most dramatic consequences of general relativity is how spacetime curvature affects the flow of time. We'll use the elevator thought experiment to illustrate how clocks can run at different rates in the box according to their distance from the source of the gravity. We'll see that a clock closer to the source of the gravitational field runs slower than a clock further away. To help see how this works, we'll take another look at the lightning strike for the person on the train and the person on the ground that we used in our segment on special relativity. Only this time, we'll map the events to our spacetime graph. The whirl line for the person standing on the ground is shown in purple. We'll label the lightning strikes A and B and place the two events on the spacetime graph with A to the left of the person on the ground and B to the right. The plane containing A and B contains all the points that are simultaneous for the person on the ground at the time of the two strikes. We call this the simultaneity plane. The light from both events travels at the speed of light, so their whirl line always moves at a 45 degree angle. They reach the person on the ground at the same time. This of course is what makes them simultaneous from the point of view of the person on the ground. Now let's repeat the lightning strike so that from the point of view of the person on the moving train, they strike at the same time. In order for the light to reach the person on the train at the same time, the strike behind him will need to hit first from the person on the ground's point of view because it will have to travel further to get to the moving person than the light from the strike that hits in front of him. So we see that the simultaneity plane for the moving person is necessarily tilted up on the right. Now we can map the movements of A and B in the accelerating elevator to the spacetime graph. The center is the source of the acceleration or gravity. A is to the right of it and B a bit further to the right, reflecting their distances from the source of the gravity. As the elevator accelerates, the whirl lines on the spacetime graph are not straight lines. They curve outwards because their velocity increases with every second. Here we have clocks that measure the proper time elapsed along each person's world line. They mark the time in their own reference frame. At the start, they are both at rest, so their simultaneity plane is horizontal and they each read each other's clocks reading zero. In this example, we see that after two seconds, we have a slightly tilted simultaneity plane. B sees that, at the same time, his clock ticks two, A's clock ticks one. A also sees his own clock reading one when B's clock reads two. Continuing to a higher velocity, with a steeper slope for the simultaneity plane, B sees A's clock reading two when his own clock reads four. A also sees his own clock reading two when B's clock reads four. A and B both agree that A's clock is ticking slower than B's clock. The equivalence principle tells us the same thing will happen near a massive body. Gravity slows down time. Newton's gravitation has no such implication. We see this with our global positioning systems. In our segment on special relativity, we saw that time dilation due to velocity differences have GPS satellites losing time every day, time that must be corrected for to get the right position on the surface of the earth. They must also take into account gravitational time dilation due to their being further away from the earth than clocks on the ground. Based on the Swartz child metric, calculations show that the satellite's clocks will gain over 45,000 nanoseconds a day due to this general relativity effect. The accuracy of our GPS system is strong evidence for the correctness of general relativity.


Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. I'm back out at the barite north of Grand Junction But in a little different area. So On the other side of that hill over that way, that's where I've normally been going But I decided to instead come down a road right here that I haven't been on yet that I kept eyeballing going I want to try that sometime and so the barite Concretion things look like they're about halfway through right here You can probably see one on the top right there, and they kind of come through over here So I'm just gonna kind of walk around a little bit and get to know this area. I Might drive up further. We'll see but I'm gonna start kind of looking over here, and then maybe wander over that way Who knows see if we can find any good bear my bearite specimens today. I can't talk. Anyway, here's the GPS to where I'm currently parked There you go. Okay. Let's get out there see what we can find Okay, I'm on this lower hill right here Now that we're closer you can see them a little better, right? You got your Grecian there you got one over there And here this hill has a bunch of the stuff coming out of it you can see a lot of calcite here So this could be a good spot Don't really see a Good source of Where it's coming out, but Might be worth going into right here So I poked around just a little bit. It didn't feel good. I didn't really see any good nodule like shape the good spherical Well, you know the rounded shape Come over here a lot more calcite coming out right here It's like somebody dug here at one time but see this this There's a little bit more of the shape we're looking for so I think we're gonna Try and dig into that So I dug this out right here and this is a where somebody had dug in the past So they must have had a small one here. It wasn't really very big So I started working my way here and this feels like it could be something and then we had a nice little gap right here So I'm excited that could very well be part of yeah Concretion here. That's hopefully maybe we'll find something here besides calcite Okay, I started pulling down this wall and the piece I pulled out right here It's got a nice vein of calcite on it Look definitely thicker than most of what I've seen so far and that vein is going right here And then we're also getting a little vein here. So Let's hope in this area. Maybe you're right or maybe further that way they have calcite Calcite Calcite Maybe got a little bit of crystal based on that One thing we're not really getting is that kind of dark red Red color that usually is associated with it. So But as long as we're getting some decent veins of calcite keep chasing it for a little bit. Oh Little crystals on it, but I'm Not sure if any of that's buried. It might all be calcite Hmm, I'll take that home and wash it off and if it has buried in it, I'll show you oh Oh Now that's buried and that was down here that came out of here. I Can fill the weight on that thing You can't really see anything, but it can fill the weight. That's definitely buried So I sprayed it off a little bit. There you go. There's some buried. It's several little kind of terminations It's not terribly clear, but it's buried Need to start making my little pile somewhere.  There we go Might have some buried in it That's bearite can feel grab all these bearite pieces That are coming out right here So yeah, there's like a vein of bearite that was across like this. It's just coming out in pieces and We'll wash them off to see if there's any good ones So you can see I pulled out lots of chunks with bearite These are calcite for what I can tell but I'll check them closer later Just to make sure and it looks like the bearite vein is kind of going off in this direction I move this rock in the bearite Seems to be still here It just looks like a rock, but that's a heavy chunk. That's bearite We'll get it home and get it washed off see if there's any cool crystals on it. It's a chunk though Just pulled this out has a bunch of calcite on it and the colors getting better definitely finding more of the color we're looking for those reds and Can't see any bearite on it Yeah, it seems like the bear it I did have Right here is kind of disappeared now So I need to just keep Digging and see if I can get into oh wait. Nope. There's some more of it. Okay. It's right in the back there Look at that Look at that beautiful bearite shape right there and that just came out of this vein part right here So I was prying these apart and that popped out there. So I'm gonna slowly grab things out of there See what we got. Oh, yeah That bear right there Okay, yeah, we'll get these all washed off when I go Oh Yeah, see this is a vein of the bearite with some crystals just to kind of stuck along the edge Nice There's one there's one They're very hard to tell when they're dirty But now that I know I'm in a vein I just pull everything out that I'm like yep That looks like some of it. Yeah, that looks like some of it So as I was trying to pry it off this front part pulled off first Remember the vein of bear it was here. So I knew there was some along the edge here and look at all that buried underneath it Also, this piece got some buried there cool There we go got it all put in the container. There's quite a bit of it Don't know how much of it will actually end up being good But we still got more going that way. There's probably still some more down here at the bottom So I'll keep pulling it out. If I find anything like really good.  I've removed all this Didn't find any bear it going that way removed this and there was a bear a vein under it and probably dipping down And there's a big chunk of the vein right there the rest I put in the bucket So I found the edge of it. This is all dirt down here going under it. So this is the edge of it Going like that. So the main massive it goes that way and The bearite was once again kind of right along the edge of it I find that commonly where the bear it tends to form near the edge of one of these I mean sometimes you get it right down in the middle of it, but quite often I feel like they Form more toward the edge Interesting that's a lot of calcite. I've been pulling tons of calcite out Yeah, the bear it kind of disappeared. We'll keep digging for a bit though. All right So I dug a whole bunch. We're at the bottom of it. So there's no more going down It's just kind of going that way a little bit in that way and it doesn't look very good to me Not seeing a lot of the calcite anymore. So I think that was probably the main spot if there is more bearite It'll be back in that way But yeah, I think I'm good here with this spot Found a good amount of stuff You've got multiple rocks here with bear right on them All right. Um, I'm gonna go explore elsewhere There's a little piece of bear right on the surface has a few crystal faces to it Yeah, I'm just over I was just digging right there There's lots of calcite coming out in multiple places all over. It's probably several small ones All over the place here. I could probably just I started trying to dig right there I could probably just dig in lots of places and might run into some bear it Maybe I'll just stay on this hill Here's another bear crystals the tip of one Really cool found it right here. This is looking really good You got the right color. It looks like somebody dug here But at the same time Maybe didn't finish digging. Hmm. All right. I poked around a bit. I did find a few little loose pieces here and there Um, I dug a little bit just to see if any of them looked like ones that Still have stuff going this place has been dug. You can see where people have dug And decided to go ahead and head back to the vehicle because I wanted to go back over to the area Where it's got that big one that that eric found that we dug into a bit I wanted to see if somebody's dug into it and see how it looks now and maybe even digging it myself I don't know, but I've been wanting to go check it out. So I'm gonna head over there And let's see what's happened since I was there last We are approaching the hole Let's see how it looks I would say that is pretty much how I left it I don't think anybody's been here Okay, another one down here I don't remember if I went that far. So maybe somebody dug a little further that way I didn't pull this out. It was loose just sitting there And look there's a little bear right there And there There's a bear right on it We can find out where that was. Let's go that way Maybe it's off the roof here Okay, now that I'm down in here That looks like bear right. It's got the darker color Maybe some crystal faces there That may be where it came off of here I think I mean it can still just be calcite Hmm Maybe I'll try in that way a little bit. You know that dug into it a bit I also dug around a little bit Found lots of calcite again, but no bear right. I think I'm gonna stop there today With digging in the hole and maybe just go do a little bit of surface collecting for a little bit And then probably head out. It's starting to get pretty warm Found an old dig right here pick this up Got some bear rights in there. They're broken We'll see what we can salvage out of it Okay, I got everything washed off. I'm just going to show it all at once So we have here kind of the bigger pieces now. They didn't really look nice There weren't any really good crystals on it. These are just like big pieces with Vane all over so for example like that see it's the bear right you can see kind of that brownish color It's kind of nice and shiny It's heavy, but pretty much everything in the bucket looks like that or worse Moving over here. Here's all the little stuff And as you can see I got lots of little stuff Lots of little partial crystals as you can see like that that one and that one This one I believe was mostly terminated. Yeah, sorry too close Yeah, I see it's mostly terminated a little damaged This one again a partial crystal still kind of nice But other than that it was mostly just pieces Just pieces that are mostly just the thick vein So just kind of go over. Yeah the numbers in the tray. I used this tray originally for a I think I did with the family That's why there's numbers in it But it was empty so I just used it to put everything in really quick It's got some crystal faces on it too So yeah, that's that's what mostly turned out lots of little broken ones Very few that had any terminations But overall it's still really cool because this is a lot of bearite It has a lot of bearite And I'm back at the vehicle who it is getting too hot it's still summer Can't wait for fall to come. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed there was some great stuff That very last one that you saw me pick up There were a few more bearites that I picked up, but they were like broken and stuff Yeah, anyway, I hope you enjoyed we'll see you next time and remember there is treasure everywhere


Ukrainian Air Force destroyed numerous Russian Shahead drones. Lieutenant-General Mikhail Oleshtuk, Ukraine's Air Force commander, posted footage of the air defense forces effectively downing Russian Shahead drones in the country's south.  They're downing everything, both enemy planes and attack drones. Thanks to all involved for your work. Trust in the air defense, believe in the armed forces of Ukraine. He added, Oleshtuk said the video is of Shahead type attack UAVs being destroyed in the country's south where anti-aircraft operations continue. Russia has begun using a new shrapnel warhead in its latest iteration of the Shahead 136 kamikaze drone according to a new report, quashing speculation about a potentially devastating thermobaric version of the weapon. Drones marked Geran-K do employ a new high explosive fragmentation warhead. It has a weight of 40 kilograms, a diameter of 31 centimeters and tungsten shrapnel elements. However, this warhead is not specially designed but is adapted from an existing aviation missile because it is suitable for the Shahead 136 in weight and dimensions. The Defense Express publication said that now there are three versions of Shahead 136 used by the Russian forces. The first is the original one from Iran with an Iranian warhead weighing 48.5 kilograms. It is marked Geran-M. A smaller warhead is installed on drones marked Geran-BL. They differ only in the Russian navigation systems installed on them. Since the summer of 2023, attack UAVs marked Geran-K with a high explosive fragmentation warhead have appeared. Such drones differ from the previous ones in production technology and details.


Hey, welcome back to the channel. So in today's video, I wanna talk about the three things that I include in every email. I'm gonna give you a framework. I'm gonna show you an example of a recent email or posts that I wrote that did very well in sales. And then also how you can use this framework to write new emails and new posts and content for social media every single day. So before we dive into this, make sure that you hit the like and subscribe button if you're enjoying the content. Helps me out, also helps to show it to other people who can benefit from this as well. And so with that said, let's jump into my computer right now. On the screen, you are seeing a framework and these are the three things that I make sure that every email and social posts that I make has these three elements or these three things here. So this is the hand-raiser framework. And I call hand-raiser is basically a post or an email that you send out that gets people to raise their hand and say, yes, I want what you have to offer. I want what you're talking about in this post. So this is kind of the framework that I use for my daily emails, my daily social posts that are designed to generate sales and designed to generate people who are interested in my different offerings. So the way that this framework works, the three things, I break it down to this framework called VBO. And that stands for value, bridge and one thing. Now the order of V and O can switch. Sometimes the bridge can come first and then sometimes the value can come first. The order of that doesn't really matter. The main thing is that you include all of these three elements in every email or social post that you send that you want to generate sales for you. So the first thing or the first element is V, right? And this is value. And most people, when they think about value, they just think about how to posts, but it doesn't need to be how to. It can be an insight or wisdom or lesson that you share that gets the person reading it to think or behave slightly differently, right? Doesn't need to be super long either. Like it's not about long content because that doesn't equal more value. We want to create these aha moments for our reader. So we want them to read through the value post or the value part of the post and say, oh, I get that or that makes sense to me or I never thought of it that way. So value is remember an insight, wisdom or lesson that you share that gets the reader to think or behave differently. Second thing is the bridge. And the bridge is a story, analogy, analysis, example or metaphor that makes the aha moment easy to understand. And don't worry if you're not getting this right now, I'm gonna show you an example. I'm gonna break down what pieces are the V and the B and then also the O, which is one thing. Now the one thing is the call to action, right? One action that you want to take or that you want the reader to take after reading your post or email. So some examples, read a sales page, click to an order form, consume a piece of content, right? My rule is that this one thing should always lead the reader down the path to buying. So it should lead them down the path to buying with you. If it's leading to a piece of content, there should be a button on that page for someone to check out or buy an offer that you have. And also this one thing or the call to action should be positioned to talk about what the person wants, the reader wants, not about your product, right? So some examples are like click here to buy my product or click here to buy this product or this program. We don't wanna say that, we wanna position the one thing around something that the person or the reader wants. So let's take a look at an example here. This is one that I sent out recently on January 5th and this one brought in three new clients on my email side hustle program which is right around $7,500 in revenue. So this is the subject line. I sent this out both in, this is my Facebook group here and also to my email list. So the subject line or the headline of the post was make 100k plus from creators on TikTok without building your own audience. So this is kind of like the value here, right? I'm getting into insight or wisdom, I'm getting interested and I expand upon this in the post here. So we start off with this, I'm just gonna read through it and tell you the different pieces of this VBO framework and where it comes in here. So last week I read a report by Cloudflare that showed TikTok topped Google as the most popular domain in 2021. Mind-blowing and also a bit sad because it shows where society is at with attention spans.  And there's a golden opportunity right now to make money helping this new wave of creators out. Over the last two months, I've seen four people go from zero to 500k plus followers on TikTok in various different niches. They've got the traffic, attention and offers to sell but they're all missing one key thing, an email list which means they're leaving potentially millions of dollars in the table. You can make money by helping these creators turn their audience into income and take a piece of the pie. So you can see here, this is kind of like the value, right? Getting them, I'm giving them a piece of insight or wisdom that is getting them to think differently like, oh, I didn't know I could make money from TikTok creators without having to build my own audience. So this is the value piece here. Now we're getting into the bridge. And the bridge in this case is an analysis and an example, right? So I'm breaking down a live example from a TikTok creator that I saw. So it says, let's use a guy in the real estate space as an example. He has 1.1 million followers in a 347 course. Let's say we just got 10% of those people onto an email list. That's 110 case subs. And let's say we convert just 1% of those into customers. That's 1,100 customers. If his course is $347, that means $381,700 in revenue. If you were to charge a 30% commission, that means your cut is $114,510. And because you're only getting paid on performance, there's no risk to him. You're managing his email list so it takes no time, money, or energy on his part. He gets a hands-off and risk-free six-figure income stream. You get four to five-figure per month checks. It's a win-win for both parties. So this part right here, this is the bridge, right? So at the first part, I said there's an opportunity to make money helping TikTok creators by monetizing their email list. The bridge is a live example and an analysis that makes that aha moment easy to understand, right? Oh, I get it. This makes sense. I can see how I can make money from helping creators with their email list. So the last part here, it says, as you can see, it doesn't take many of these clients to make bank. Hell, you could stick with one to two for an entire year and make a cushy living. There are thousands of creators out there like this who are amazing at building audiences but terrible at monetization. I've been working with three since mid-2021 who don't have a million followers, but enough for my cut can be 100k plus per year for each client. And by the way, you can apply the same strategy to creators on YouTube and Instagram too, wherever folks have an audience but no email list or a shitty one. So if the numbers here excites you and you'd like to get paid to be an email rainmaker helping creators make bank from an audience they've already built, I'll be talking about it more with the peeps in my next email side hustle class. We get started soon, so if you'd like to deed, send me a DM here with the word TikTok money and I'll send it over. Your compadre is my sign off here. So this is the one thing, right? If you want to get paid to be an email rainmaker helping creators make bank from the audience they've already built, then send me a message here, right? So I didn't say if you want to join my course or if you want to join my program, then click this link. I positioned it around something that they want, right? They want to make money and they want to get paid to send emails and write for creators, right? They want to make bank from not having building their own audiences but helping other people monetize their audiences, right? So very important, that's the one thing but it's positioned as around something that they want, right? They want to make money. I'm not telling them here, click here to buy my course. This is an example of the VBO framework and every email and social posts that I send out Monday through Saturday typically that I want to generate sales or lead people to a sale with me is going to follow this framework here, okay? So VBO value, bridge one thing, watch this video again. And another way that you can see this in action is if you join my email list if you go to www.SeanAnthony.co you can join there or if you want to join my Facebook group and see these posts live in the group which I send out every day just go to email rainmaker.com that's going to take you to this group it's a free group to join and you can see all of my posts in action that are using this framework here. So those are the three things that I include in every sales generating email or every email or post that I want to make money and get sales and customers and clients for me use this framework, apply it to your emails and your social posts so you can start making more sales. And yeah, I hope this has helped for you this is a framework that I use every single day and will help you write money making emails and social posts every day as well whether it's for yourself or your own offers or for clients. So if you guys enjoyed this let me know in the comments, hit the like button and I will see you in the next video. Take it easy.

On the 30th of July 1967, a group of seven sponge divers were exploring the bottom of Rock Lake within Wisconsin. What they found, however, is more precious than sponge, or indeed golden relics. They would make a discovery so perplexing, some specialists are still struggling to explain it to this day. One of the divers, John Kennedy, stumbled across a large triangular rock formation near the middle of the lake, a structure which towered up from the deep, almost breaching the surface. He estimated that the structure which still existed above the mud was around 20 feet in diameter and around 40 feet from the edge of the lake. John collected several small fragments from around the structure, specimens which would later aid in collaborating their claims. Although rumors of an ancient pyramid existing in the lake had circulated since the 1930s, this was the first time in modern history that evidence had successfully been retrieved. It must be noted, Rock Lake is extremely ancient, and the area that is said to house an ancient pyramid has remained submerged for well over 10,000 years. Due to this geological fact, if it were not for John's physical evidence, the site may have been successfully overlooked by mainstream archaeology. Heated debate regarding John's and other claims from the 30s now raged on for several years. Many mainstream archaeologists predictably rejecting the premise that a pyramid of over 10,000 years of age is resting, or more precisely hiding, at the bottom of Rock Lake. They claim some enormous structures lay there. Native American legend records that they were built by an ancient peoples who were driven away during a flood. Although evidence was mounting, skeptics continued to insist that those involved were mistaken. It took a flight by aerial photographer Jack Latournia to silence such rhetoric. According to mainstream academia, the site simply shouldn't exist, yet it does. It is another valuable relic of our past, which tell of a history drenched in antiquity, a history we are slowly unraveling. Lake Michigan, a mysterious and enormous lake, long rumored to possess crash UFOs or possibly a secret base hidden somewhere beneath the waves. However, it is not only the extraterrestrial activity which this lake is now famous for. The use of remote sensing technology is thankfully becoming more common within modern archaeology. Scientists now routinely survey lakes for hidden structures, and Lake Michigan is no exception. At a depth of 40 feet in Grand Traverse Bay, using sonar techniques, archaeologists discovered sunken boats, cars, and even a civil war era pier. But among all this, they found a spectacular prehistoric ruin. When you see it in the water, you're tempted to say this can't be real, said Mark Holly, professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan University College, who made the discovery. Clearly some form of stonehenge, if this site could be confirmed as having been man-made, it would give credence to a theory of people building complex ancient structures within Lake Michigan, back when it was just a dry basin well over 10,000 years ago. Thankfully, during the investigation, a large rock was spotted, with what many at the time suspected was an ancient illustration of a mastodon. During a conference in 2007, photos of the boulder from further investigations were displayed, these clearly showing this prehistoric drawing. However, Mark stated that experts were yet to come in and verify it beyond doubt. We couldn't believe what we were looking at, said Greg McMaster, president of the Underwater Preserve Council. Specialists, shown pictures of the boulder holding the mastodon markings, have asked for more evidence, they actually want to see it. Unfortunately, he added, experts in petroglyphs generally don't dive, so we're running into a little bit of a stumbling block there. If found to be true, the petroglyph would be well over 10,000 years old, confirming early post-ice age presence of both humans and mastodons in the upper Midwest. If authenticated, it would become an out of place artifact, like many other stone circles and other petroglyph sites, this one dated due to the age of the lake. Just who could have built the Michigan Stonehenge? How did they build it? As further investigation is undertaken, we will of course keep you posted on any future developments. Lake Titicaca, this familiar named lake, is located deep within the Andes. Now sliced in two by the borders of Bolivia and Peru. It is not only the largest lake in South America, but it is also undoubtedly the most important historically that can be found anywhere on Earth. Many tales have surfaced over the years, involving submerged citadels, mountains of gold relics, and vast ancient ruins scattered across the lake bed. Stories of amateur archaeologists becoming very wealthy from astonishing, yet not publicly disclosed discoveries which lay beneath the waves. We found 2,000 objects and fragments, declared Christophe Dillerere, a Belgian archaeologist at a ceremony in La Paz. According to Christophe, divers from his team found the objects more than 7 meters underwater off the coast of the island of the sun. These included 31 large golden relics. Scientists think these discoveries are just the beginning of something far greater and for good reason. As time goes on, claims made a long time ago begin to appear more and more likely. According to Colonel John Blashford Snells, a notorious explorer, his extensive explorations of the lake, their surrounding ancient culture, and his resulting research, the ancient city of Tiwanaco, very near the lakeshores, copied their original building knowledge from the scientists of the mysterious and legendary Lost City of Atlantis. Interestingly, ancient Incan legend also corroborates his conclusions, stating that the mythical founders of their amazing empire did indeed once emerge from the lake's waters. The lake was considered the center of the cosmos by the Incan people, and they also somehow knew its shape, something we have only been able to achieve from a very high altitude. Ancient Inca legends tell that after a great flood, the creator god Viracocha emerged from Lake Titicaca. It's stated that he created, though this more than likely means they believe he restored the sun, moon, and stars. Viracocha was fair-skinned and long-beard. He brought a great culture to the ancient peoples of South America. The 16th century Spanish chronicler Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa recorded in his Histórica de los Incas a tale about Manco Capac, the first Inca. According to Inca mythology, the Inca are the direct descendants of a mythical first Inca named Manco Capac, who emerged from one of the three openings in the mountain Tambotoco, located 33 kilometers to the south of Cusco, Peru. Manco Capac is said to have created the Incan civilization through Viracocha. Even though his figure is mentioned in several chronicles, his actual existence remains unclear. Could this original and possibly vast ancient culture still be resting upon the bottom of Lake Titicaca? Did something catastrophic occur in our very distant past which filled this lake, once a large fertile valley, filled with what we have all become familiar as the lost city of Atlantis? Lake Superior, the largest of the North American Great Lakes, it is also the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. Believed to have first been inhabited 10,000 years ago after the retreat of the last Ice Age, however there exists copper mines upon many of the lake's islands, which many researchers have concluded to be prehistoric. A sophisticated array of tunnels litters the islands, or more specifically, all of North America. Scarred by ancient mine pits as deep as 150 feet, carbon-14 testing of wood remains found in sockets of copper artifacts indicated they are at least 5,700 years old, although artifacts and evidence at some sites have suggested a date far older than what has been put forward. For example, some investigators believe that the mines were not even built by humans, but are the remains of a sophisticated mining operation that was once undertaken by alien visitors many thousands of years ago. Similar in scale to the ancient Carolina mica mines, mica being a material which we use in electrical components. It must be noted that all of these prehistoric mines show evidence of being abruptly abandoned, whether this is evidence of the death of an unknown king or queen, or evidence for catastrophe is unknown. All along Lakeshore are vestiges of this one's highly successful ancient operation. The most astonishing of remnants catalogued publicly has to be the enormous lump of pure copper found in 1771 near the bank of the Antonigan River. In 1945 it was floated downriver on a raft by a James K. Paul and was eventually appropriated by an agent of the United States government. It was then shipped to Detroit and on to Washington, where it eventually slipped into the bowels of the Smithsonian. Known as the Antonigan Boulder, it weighs 3,708 pounds. It was apparently well known to Native Americans. According to the Kiwanawe Bay Indian community, the Boulder was used by tribe members to make offerings to its manateau, or spirit, to seek improvement in their health and well-being. Just how old is the Antonigan Boulder, or indeed the mine from which it came? Although many would like you to believe the mines are less than 5,000 years of age, we think many factors surrounding them suggest that they are far older than that.
