Hello! Happy Tuesday. Yes, welcome to Stampin Chat with Stampin Jill. I'm Beth and I'm Aubrey and we are stamping with you today. Yes. With the landscapers outside. Yes, if you can hear us study. They are working on Jill's backyard today. Yep. Today was also supposed to be Jill and Aubrey, but we told you a couple weeks ago Danny had shoulder surgery. Well, he had a gallbladder attack over the weekend and he had to have his gallbladder out today. Yes. So he is currently recovering from surgery. Okay. Jill is with him at the hospital right now. So we're here. We are here. So welcome and hopefully we can have some good banter. Yes. And maybe some cute projects. Yes. So am I allowed to see how many people are on or not? Not this way. Not from here? Nope. We just... So welcome. We're thrilled to have you. Yes. And we're sure there's people there. Let us know if you're here. We want to say hi to you. Yes. Say hello. We... So we use some streaming software to do this. It's not straight through YouTube so we can't see how many viewers are on currently. So just give us a little shout out. Say hi so we know we're not talking to ourselves. That always is very nice. What are we doing today? Okay. So we are focusing on kits today. We have a sale coming up on kits in August starting in August. August 1st through the 31st. Yes. 30% off all kits that are... Just not paper pumpkin. Not paper pumpkin. So what they've told us so far is it's up to 30% off. So I'm not exactly sure what that means. I haven't released like prices on which kits or whatever to us yet but we're really excited because we love kits. Yes. Kits are so fun. Such a great way to get started into crafting card making if it's not something you've done before. It's a great way to just kind of get your feet wet. So we wanted to feature two of our newer kits. What are you using? That have come out recently. Mine is called Forever Friend. Forever Friend or Forever Friends. I think it's friends. I'm gonna switch the camera so we can show them here. Okay. I have a thing that says... Here's mine. Boho Beach is the one that I chose mostly because I saw the stamp set. What's on here like that? Here's the stamp set. I thought it was so cute. Enjoy your day. Sit back and relax. Then these cute little florals that I thought were really fun. So that's the one that I chose and I love the colors. Really, really fun. And mine is, yes, the Forever Friends. So here's what the little front looks like. In this one, there's eight cards and envelopes that you make two different designs. And the stamp set is cute. It is this little flower and some petals and little flowers and then just some sayings that go with it. So that is cute. That's a cute one. Yeah. So in every kit, it's all inclusive. You get everything you need to make a certain amount of projects. So for this, it's eight cards and envelopes, two different cards, but four of each, right? And then it comes with these really, really cute pre-printed envelopes too. Here are the cards that came. So these are the two different ones that you would make using the kit. The fun part about this is, like, I've remade another card using elements from the kit that just I came up with on my own. So there are a lot of alternative ideas out there for different projects, but we wanted to take the stamp set and some of the elements and come up with some different projects so that you see there's use for these kits in the longevity. They're really versatile. They're great for gifts. They're great to make up and give to people or give to somebody as a little introduction. And if you're a demonstrator, we love doing kit classes because there's very little prep for us, but our people love to get together and craft and so we make sure we do that. So. Right. Anyway, so Beth showed you one of the ones that she did made up that was kind of a different look. So this, I wanted to show you what I did. These are the two cards that come, like how these are made the way that they say to make it. But then I wanted to show you different ways to make the cards. So I came up with some different ideas. So here's this same layout. I just did it differently. So this back piece here that comes pre-printed and instead of stamping on it, I to give it that little extra definition around it. I didn't. I just kept it just the printing and so it makes it a little bit softer, but super cute still. And I just changed the direction of it. This one I completely did different. I stamped around it, but then I just cut those flowers out. So same look, but just different layouts. And then for this one, this is what it's meant to look like. I did the same thing. I didn't stamp around it to give it the definition. So that's just kind of how that pre-printing one came. And I just switched the direction of the paper and really easy, but it just makes it a little bit softer. And then here's another one. I just cut the piece apart. I just gave it a little different layout there. How cute, Aubrey. That's awesome. So fun. I love that. So just a few different options. Yeah, so the kits come with a lot of pre-printed or pre-dye cut little pieces that you can play with. I even thought it would be fun to take some of them and like sponge over and create like a negative type of thing, but I grabbed some watercolor paper.  I think I just need to let that dry a little bit. So I just watercolor that with some pool party ink on watercolor paper. So let that dry for just a second and then maybe work on something else. So this is really fun. The pre-printing and the stamp work perfectly together. So you can just stamp right directly over that. What comes in this is the Night of Navy stamp in spot. Oh right. This little one. I'm just using my big pad because I have it. So that's a little bit easier, but you can see you can just stamp right over those images to give it a little more definition. So I'm kind of doing the opposite on this one than what I did by leaving it blank on the other card. I'm going to stamp all of the little images to give it extra definition on this one. Yeah, and if you haven't done the kits before, let me show you. Where did I put it? Oh, under here. So this is what comes with the kit. It's in instructions and it's got in color kind of exactly how to assemble the card. It even tells you where to stamp, which stamps to use, how long you should cut your ribbon, everything. And if you're much more of a watching videos person, they also have a video. You can scan the QR code and you can find the little video that goes along with the kit. It comes with all the adhesive, everything you need to make the little, to make all the cards. So these are also really good gifts because if you're not sure what to give to somebody, I love to give these to teachers like my kids teachers at school. I feel like they always can use cards, thank you cards. And if they're crafty, I'll let them make them. If they're not, I'll make them up for them and give them in the cute little box and let them keep this down set or whatever, or I could keep it, I guess, but I've always just let them. It's kind of fun. Yeah. So I'm just finishing up my last one there. So you can see, I'll show you the difference. Here's how the card is stamped from the kit. This is how they have you do it. This is with just all of those images with the stamp around it. So it gives it more definition and here is it is without it. So really just by stamping around those images on that printed image gives you such a different look. It's really fun. Okay. And I want to play a little bit and come up with a card using some blends that's using watercolor paper. I am with the water painters. I guess I should like do all this on camera. Sorry, I'm like so into it. So I wanted to create like a little band and kind of do less of a scene and more of like a, I don't know, more of like my typical style of card. That's the fun thing about these kits is they come with kind of a particular style, but if you have a different style, you can always kind of figure out how to make them your own, you know, which I love and love, love, love being able to do that. So I just wanted to figure out how I wanted to assemble this here because it comes with these cute little elements I still wanted to use and put in there. And then I got to figure out how I want to add my sink, which on my other card, I cut down this piece. Let me see. Do you see here's like the original? It's nice and big and bold and I cut it down just so I had like a little rim around it because I felt I wanted to put more in the background. I think I'm going to do that again because I quite liked cutting it down. I think I'm going to use, I like this saying you can do hard things, but I think I'm going to do, I'll show you, and I'm just eyeballing this, so it's probably not going to be perfect though, but that's okay for me, which I'm just a little touch more here. I'm going to do where you cut each of these words, like make them go down the page rather than, do you know what I'm talking about? Yes, like trim it out. Yeah, cute. I do love that. Two, five and a half, like this, you can do hard things. I love that, something like that. Cute. Let's see. Well, when we're talking about the kids going back to school, we've got, we each have four kids. Obviously we have four girls. I have two girls, two boys. My four kids are in four different schools next year. Your four kids are in three different schools next year. I have one more year before I have to do the four-school thing. This stage of life, man. It's wild. It is pretty busy and school is coming. The kids don't want to think about it yet, but... Are you ready? Oh, I'm ready for them to go back because I'm ready for some structure at my house. I'm just ready to like have a queen house for five seconds. But thank goodness for teachers, eh? Oh, I know. They are the real heroes. As we're like ready to get rid of them, they're just getting ready to take them. Take them back. I know what, they're the best. So grateful for that. Although I do, one of my best friends is a teacher and I saw yesterday she just broke her arm. Oh my gosh. Who? Christy. Christy? Yes. She... How did she do that on her family reunion? Yes, she fell off a horse and broke her arm. And she started school in a couple weeks. And she's a first grade teacher, so everyone send your heartfelt love out to her. Send your good vibes to that sweet girl. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine. That is a lot. That's rough is what that is. Yeah. So I think I might need to go take her some cookies or something today. Oh, I feel bad for her. Does she have to have surgery? They are hoping not, but I don't think she knows yet. She has to go see an orthopedic surgeon now that she's home because she wasn't even home when she did it. Yeah, that's right. They were traveling, right? Traveling, yes. I know. I think we start school in southern Utah a little earlier than some other places, which is nice because we get out of school a little earlier too at the end of the year, but our kids go back mid-August and but we get out end of May, right? Yeah. Which is very nice. This is cute, Aubrey. Ooh, I'm excited. Sometimes it's nice to have four of the same cards, but sometimes it's nice to have some different things too. Well, I just have the option to kind of play and but I like how they've like chosen the colors for you. It kind of gives you a little bit of a direction without having to think of everything, you know? That's true, although I am totally going off of what they have, which is great. I'm doing my own things. I think everyone's different though, right? Yes. Like it's important to have both. I think so, but I think I'm digging these colors though. I know. With the, look how cute that watercolor is in the back there. I know, just adds a little bit of a little detail. Have a fun thing. And this one didn't come with any accessories. Did yours come with any dots or anything? No, it didn't. Sometimes they do. There's ribbon or bakers twine, I guess. Not a full ribbon. I might add some little cute faceted things here.  If you do have some things just around that you've purchased previously, add them to your cards. That's the nice part about having coordinating products, right? Yeah. You can probably find something that will match. Yeah, for sure. Because they really do use a lot of those same colors in different things. Okay, enjoy your day. How about that? Cute. I like adding the watercolor. That's kind of fun. And then look at the, here's the envelope that comes with it. They're so cute. It's like, oh yeah.  They're so fun. Those are such beautiful prints. I know. And like you could add, I think my favorite part of this stamp set is this little crackle stamp. You know, like the little spotted stamps. The little wave bubble. Oh, oh, that one. That's just a good like background stamp. It is. It's like a good little, so if you got this kit but you haven't looked at this little stamp, that's like the best little edition type stamp ever. Well, and you can use it in the background of so many different cards and styles and that's a good one to have. Yeah, those are fun ones. Okay, I had another idea. Okay, good because I'm still coloring. Good. Well, I hope you have some friends joining us. And yeah, that kit sale starts, which is nice to always get them, you know, on sale or whatever, but really even at the price they're at right now, they're not a bad price point. They're a pretty fun way to start and get things going. Yeah, look how cute with that dot background. Oh, Aubrey, that's really cute. I wasn't even watching what you were doing.  Cute. Which I don't choose purple very often, but It's such a trend right now, though, man. It really is. And this is Highland Heather, but I actually really love the Fresh Freeza purple. Mm-hmm. That's a really pretty one. I feel like we do gravitate toward Fresh Freeza more. Yeah. But they're right together now. Yeah. Oh, and bubble baths in the same family. I know. It's pink, but it's kind of a purply pink. Well, and Fresh Freeza is almost a pinky purple. Pinky purple. Yeah, they work really well together. Good little pairs. If we had to count how many flower stamp sets do you think we have today? Oh, I don't know. A lot for sure. Oh my God, I love it. But that's the nice thing. If you have a favorite flower, we probably have a stamp set to go along with it. Yeah, that's true. That's a good way to look at it. I just want to trim down this little the front of this envelope, and I'm going to make it a card front, because I think the print is so cute. That's a great idea. So I'm going to make it four. And that prints different than the card? Yeah. Oh, okay. I mean, they're just different patterns. Like here's one of the cards, right? Oh, yeah. And there's that. I don't know if I'm going to use it together, but I might. It's just so simple and easy, but it is kind of papery. So we'll see what we can do with it. I don't know if I'm going to use that or if I'm going to just use a piece of card stock and see and play a little. Hello from Georgia. Oh yes. Glad you could join. Okay, there's my kind of little background look. Oh, I wanted to use this, but that doesn't go. It does not. That's all right. You can do hard things. Is that what we're telling our kids as they go back to school? Are we telling ourselves that as we get to the end of this summer? Oh, it's been a long summer. I don't know how I'm doing this on here. I didn't leave myself a space. I should have thought about this. Can I go over the image? Sure. You can do. It's so small. I don't know. It makes it kind of busy. Maybe I'll have to do two cards, one with this and one with the other. Yeah. Oh, I could do it over here, maybe. Oh, that's cute. That's kind of different. Should do it on that side, huh? Yeah. Best part of creating lives is we get to see the whole process. I know. I would, I actually really love to watch other people create life for the same reason, because it's so interesting to me to see how people do things. I don't know. Everyone's different, right? Even in our office, we're all kind of different in our process. Yeah. So it's kind of fun. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's really pretty. Yeah. Wow. I think I might use green glue. Oh, here. Oh, you have it. Not its technical name. We know what it is. Mono. Multi? Combo, mono, liquid glue. Multi. I'm trying to remember what it actually is. Like, I'm kind of like, I kind of know, but I don't remember either. I need some, like, a full saucy foam. I don't know if it'll even be able to see it. It's so light on this blue background. It just gives a little, little look. That is really pretty. That crumb cake on there looks so cool. Yeah, it's kind of a fun little addition to it. Yeah. Oh, fun. What other accessories are in there? You have that chair. There's shells. At least I think they're shells. That's what I would call them. Okay. These little, this little guy. I have little sentiment, like, things. Okay.  So smaller shell, bigger shell, or leaf, maybe they're leaves. They could be leaves. The umbrella. Have you used most of those? Oh, yeah. Let me see what else I can find in a brown one like this. It came with some little linen thread, which I love. Yes, for sure. The little chair, the little, what is that, that Adirondack chair or whatever. Yes. I like these ones. But it also has a crumb cake one. This, like, the two leaves, they're connected together. They're real cute. Very fun. I know, it's so fun. The nice thing about using this liquid glue is I can kind of move these around and I have a little bit of freedom after I put them down to get them how I want on my paper. Get them as straight as I can get them. That's fun. I love it on this. Oh, that's a fun idea. Yeah. That's right. It has that little shiny metallic detail there. That is really cute. Let's see. I did enjoy your day. So I'm going to say sit back and relax with this one. Oh, maybe I'll do it in the crumb cake though. I wonder what that would look like. Fun. Okay. Well, what do we think? Should we finish our cards and we can post them? Yeah. Okay. Well, guys, all that to remind you to sit back and relax. Just kidding. Definitely sit back and relax. Sit back and relax. Grab a kit. Maybe if you have a kit that makes you feel like I don't really like to stamp in a box or I don't really like to just follow instructions. Maybe pull it out and see what elements you can use to create some of your own creations, right? Yeah. Because look, did you show what? This is what Beth did like differently. She water-colored this background so pretty. Yeah, it turned out kind of fun. So you can think outside of the box and do other things. There are even like, I can think of stamp sets and dies that would coordinate really well with this boho beach look that we have that we carry. I'm sure you guys have a home. So. Okay. Well, we'll finish these up. We always post our creations over on our Facebook page, Stampin' Jills VIP. Yep. VIP group. And we'll put the link in the description of this video so you can find them there. We'll also put the link to the kits. But remember that sale starts August 1st, which if you can believe it or not, is next week. I think it's, is it next Tuesday? Yeah, a week from today, right? Yeah, it would be next Tuesday. So, so we'll be in August next Tuesday. It's not crazy. Oh, that's crazy. The year is already going by so fast. We are there. But yeah, if you're stuck in a little slump, we're kind of waiting for the mini catalog here. Go grab a kit, find something fun to do. Always a fun choice. Yeah. Okay, we'll see you guys.

Surface metal and non-metal mines present a variety of potential safety and health hazards. Effective thorough workplace examinations are one way to help you to recognize and address some of these hazards before they become more dangerous. Today, we're going to find out about some of these hazards and give you some ideas and tips on how to look for them. Things may be different at your mine, of course, but the importance of an effective workplace examination is the same, no matter the size of your operation or the product that's mined there. Workplace examinations. Surface metal, non-metal. Workplace examinations benefit me mostly through being able to have a safe workplace for our employees to come in every day, be able to work safely throughout the day and go home safe at the end of the day.  Keeping your catwalks clean, keeping your plant areas clean, keeping your equipment clean, and then repairing as they report them. I think it gives them confidence that the company is doing everything they can to give them a safe place to work. The safer an employee works, the less incident rates you have, the less incidents rate you have, the more productivity you have. It also helps with morale. Employees are seeing managers and other workers walking around making the inspection and get excited about the fact that, hey, they're really looking at what's wrong and trying to find a way to fix it. For anybody who gets on the property doing anything, that's the first thing that happens. Once an workplace inspection has been done, they feel safe going in that area and working.  It makes me feel better out on the job and know that he's done his job. Make sure that nothing is going to get in the way of causing accidents or any injuries. Well, that's just me and me just to do something safely where I ain't going to get hurt. I don't want to be damaged for life. When we look after each other, nobody wants anybody to get hurt here. Once they're done, I feel that I can go into my walk area, complete my job and return safely home to my family. All of us want to return home unhurt at the end of each work day, so we have to work safely, all day, all the time. You need to come up with a system that works for you to do an effective workplace examination. One way is to follow the production process through your mind from start to finish. So, let's start at the pit. Make sure to look at the pit floor. Is there any standing water? Have ground conditions changed since your last examination? Ground conditions along hall roads and benches can change rapidly. Inspect berms, walls, banks and slopes before work starts and watch for loose material throughout the shift. Make sure that the ground is stable. It's not just berms, banks and stable ground. There's a lot of other potential problems you need to look at too. Keep an eye on your mind's hall roads to see that they are clear of spilled material, graded for good drainage and inspected closely for cracks or movement of ground. Properly constructed and maintained berms or guardrails will protect miners and equipment and they need to be at least mid-axle height of the largest piece of mobile equipment using the roadway. At mine dump points, berms and bumper blocks need to be well constructed and maintained to prevent over travel of equipment. Check dumps for cracks or signs of ground movement before dumping begins. If cracks are present, the operator must dump a safe distance back or dump in another location. Markers may be used to indicate an unsafe dumping area. Are areas blocked off at your operation? Are these areas barricaded, clearly marked or guarded to prevent unauthorized entry? Material is processed after its mind. Processing plants and installations are dangerous places, so what should you look for here? Check travel ways to see that they are kept clean and clear of tools, parts and damaged or missing handrails. You'll need to look for loose steps and grading, whether related hazards or other hazards that could lead to slip and fall accidents. Spilled materials and rusted or damaged structures. Conveyors are dangerous because they have so many moving parts. Guards help to keep miners away from pinch points and from being caught and pulled into the conveyor system. Be sure to check the conveyors at your mine to see that all guards are in place. Guards are in good condition and securely installed. And that emergency stop cords and railings are in place. At the plant's crusher control area, check for properly constructed bumper blocks, berms and railings. Then check for damaged or deteriorated structures, safe access and electrical defects. Also make sure your plants start up alarm, communication system and dust suppression system are all in good working order. Bins, hoppers and loadout facilities are all sources of potential accidents. Also make sure your mines traffic signs are up to date and clearly visible. Maintenance and repair shops are vital parts of any mine. Start your examination by looking at general housekeeping throughout the shop.  Is there open access to all shop areas? Is proper personal protective equipment provided and worn correctly? Be sure that miners are properly using fall protection as needed. Now let's look at more specific concerns such as, is adequate illumination and ventilation provided? Are no smoking and open flame areas posted? Are welding areas shielded and ventilated? Are compressed gas cylinders and combustible materials stored properly? Are part storage areas clean and organized? Look for damaged hooks and cables at hoists and cranes. Of course you always want to make sure that miners are following safe work procedures and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. Let's not forget to look at other areas including the scale house where you need to check berms on access ramps at the scales. In labs, toilet facilities and lunch rooms look for electrical hazards and ensure sanitary conditions. Does your mind have one or more surge tunnels? If it does, inspect the tunnel and look for safe access, air quality and ventilation, adequate lighting, electrical hazards such as faulty wiring, fittings or connections, a working communication system, operating conveyor start-up alarms and required firefighting equipment. Also, remember to check the secondary escape way if there is one. What do you need to do if there's a dredge at your mine? Dredges present some unique safety hazards. Begin your examination by looking at the workboat. Make sure that it is in good condition and that its design limits are not exceeded when carrying miners, equipment or supplies. Drowning is a constant concern. Are life jackets of the correct type available and used by miners? Check travel ways and walkways to make sure that they are clean and clear of obstructions such as tools, ropes, cables, spilled material and debris such as grease, oil, ice or standing water that could lead to slip and fall accidents. Look at the condition of cables and moorings on the dredge and on barges. Broken cables and moorings can be deadly. Examine guards. Are they in place and installed securely? Are any guards missing? You'll need to look for unprotected openings, low clearances or other obstructions. A dredge handles a lot of pressurized material. Don't forget to look for defects and problems at pumps and along pipelines. Check lighting fixtures to see if they are weatherproofed and guarded. Remember to test audible and visible warning devices to make sure they work properly. Electricity and water is a dangerous combination. To help prevent possible electrical accidents if there are ponds and sump areas at your mind, examine electrical connections, fittings, pumps and control switches to make sure they are in safe working order. That sure is a lot to cover, and it seems to be even more since these examinations are ongoing throughout the work day. But the rewards are great. Regular and effective workplace examinations at your mind will help to reduce accidents and injuries by identifying and correcting problems, reduce downtime and costs, reduce violations, improve morale and show everyone that they're part of a safety team. We have our safety meetings on Monday morning. And when the boys had a weekend off, I think it reminds them that they get them right back on track of safety first. By having the safety meetings every week and talking to these people, they do feel more like they're on the team. How's everything going? Just fine. Hey boss, look at the safety poster my kids made. I'll tell you, that's special. That gives you a good reason to work safe going tonight, don't it? Yes, sir. You guys have a good day. Be careful. What's in it for you? Going home, unhurt, at the end of the day. The number one goal for me is to go home and see mama and them babies. The workplace examination is very important to me because I like to leave like I come in saying. At your mind site, everyone should keep an eye on ground conditions, roadways, traffic signs and barricaded areas. Make sure your communication systems function properly. Follow safe work procedures and maintain good housekeeping when repairing equipment and always wear the proper personal protective equipment. Wherever you go, check for safe electrical systems, proper ventilation and adequate lighting. If water safety is a concern, use a properly designed work boat and wear life jackets. Remember, do a thorough workplace examination. Do your part for everyone's safety.


Hello parents and shipmates. Greetings from Naval Support Activity Bethesda. My name is Brian Pampuro and I'm a financial educator here at Fleet and Family Support Center Bethesda. Since we celebrate April is month of the military child, I thought I would share with you some thoughts I have about teaching children how to save and invest and manage money smartly.  I hope you find the blog interesting, valuable and enjoyable.


Hey, this is Brett with Summit Auto in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and today I'm going to show you probably one of the best-looking Wranglers you're going to see today, a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited High Altitude in the all-new SnazBerry Pro Coat. This is a brand new color for 2021 to the Wrangler. You may remember it from other Jeep Chrysler Ram products, such as the Rams with Delmonico Red or the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee Red Velvet, and this color was even featured on the Dodge Grand Caravans as Octane Red. PRV is the paint code on it. This is a high-altitude package, and we shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second. You have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, or smartphone device. Turn them on right now, because it is definitely your best way to check out the color and styling of this particular Jeep before seeing it in person. And if you want to check out all the photos on this Jeep and the upper right-hand party screen is a link to our website, click that and check us out there. The high-altitude package, you get the color match fenders, the color match door handles, mirrors, as well as the gas door back there. You get the 20-inch painted alloy rims that has Bridgestone Duler tires on here. These are 275, 55R20s. You get the painted color-matched front bumper and rear bumper. This one has the LED lighting group with the LED headlamps, running lights, and fog lights. Notice you get the gloss black grille and headlight bezels. Now this Jeep also has another special option. This is the one-touch sky, one-touch power top. So I'm going to turn on the ignition and show you how that works. Basically, you just press this button right here, but you've got to have the accessory on. So I'm going to press the button while we check it out from back here or up here. Really gives you the open-air feel. It goes back that far. Really a cool top. That is a $1,900 option. And we'll check out the interior in just a second because you can see just how nice that looks. I'm going to do one more walk around here. You also get the blacked-out Jeep lettering, the blacked-out and granite crystal trail-rated logo. Really good-looking Jeep. Get the running boards, of course. This is in the Sahara family. So running boards are standard on the Saharas. Take a look at the original window sticker. Feel free to pause this at any second. I'm not going to go through everything, but we will just go through it kind of quick. The 8.6-liter with the e-torque, the 8-speed automatic transmission, SnazBerry ProCode is $245. The customer-preferred package, 25N, is the high-altitude addition. That's a $9,105 option. But you get everything on this list up to here with that. So you get the 8.4, the nav, Google Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, the LED headlamps, LED lighting group, Alpine sound system, Serious Guardian for a year, Serious Traffic Link, Traffic Plus for five years, all the body color moldings and bumpers and mirrors, and the rear defroster. This has a cold weather group, which gives you the heated seats and remote start, which is $9.95, trailer tow, and heavy-duty electrical group, which is $7.95, gives you the receiver hitch, the wiring, and the auxiliary switches, as well as a 700 amp maintenance-free battery. Advanced safety group gives you the automatic high-beam headlamp control, full-speed collision warning plus adaptive cruise control and adaptive brake, advanced brake assist. Speed-speed automatic transmission has the anti-spin differential, and that Sky One Touch power top is a $1,900 value. Total MSRP on this vehicle is $57,590. If you want to get your summit price in the upper right-hand part of the screen is a link to that. Now, check this out. You get 21 miles per gallon average 19-city, 24 highway, pretty amazing with a full-sized Wrangler that you're going to get 24 miles per gallon on the highway, but that's all thanks to the e-torque on there. Some crash ratings and rollover. Of course, also the 8-speed transmission helps out with that, and we'll get back to that interior in just a second. Four-wheel disc brakes on the Wranglers, notice the color-match rear bumpers. You even have the reverse sensors that are color-matched as well. Something they started doing on the Wranglers this year is they asked, or on the new body style anyways, they started putting this guard here. A lot of times people would wash their jeeps and then the tire dressing or grease from the tire would drip onto the bumper and it would stain it. So they kind of fixed that with that. Has the LED license plate lights, got the tail hook here, color-match handle, the LED tail lamps. Back here you have your Alpine sound system. We also have the bag for those rear quarter pieces. And we have not taken those off, but it looks like they disconnect right here, so you can take those sides off, looks like it's a quick disconnect right there, and then one over there as well. Maybe we'll do a demo on how to take those off, but you can see even back here the sky effect is really great.  You have holders for your windshield roof and door hinge bolts, and these still close like any other Wrangler. That door closes nice and smoothly, the color-matched fuel door. Side spot monitoring, cross-path detection, heated mirrors, inside the high-altitude package gives you the black, and it's kind of like a gold bronze stitching. On here both these seats are heated, you get lumbar, driver seat height adjuster, side airbags, factory floor mats, auto headlamps, and notice you get that gold stitching all the way through the vehicle. Power windows, power locks, power mirrors, you get the 7-inch display right here, you get the cool Wrangler graphics that go across, turn the lights on here and dim that, and you get a digital speedometer, compass, miles per gallon, temp, you can get all that stuff on there. You have the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, notice you do get that gold stitching, or bronze stitching on there as well, adaptive cruise controls, Bluetooth information center controls. You have the 8.4C radio, AMFM and Sirius XM radio capabilities, of course you get the factory navigation with that, the AMFM and Sirius, we don't get any signal in here, you get the heated seats, heated steering wheel, you can check out your backup camera, that's an HD backup camera, and those are dynamic grid lines, meaning that they're going to turn as you turn the steering wheel to show you where you're going to be going to. And then you have all your heated seats, heated steering wheel, and then you have all your different apps including your projection manager, where you can project your cell phone via Android Auto or Google or Apple CarPlay, I should say, and then if you've got a different navigation system you can project it to the screen, we actually did a demo on that, if you want to check that video it's in the upper right hand part of the screen, and then the off-road pages here which are pretty cool, we'll show those in a second, they take just a second to load, while they're loading I'll show you that you can do all your climate and radio controls right here as well, including volume and tune, heated seats and heated steering wheel as well, you get your start-stop, stability control, parking sensors, your downhill assist control, and then here are your off-road pages, notice you get your drive train right there, your steering angle, so as you turn that steering wheel they'll tell you how your turn, and also we'll steer those wheels up top as it goes with the angle there, get your accessory gauges, including coolant temp, oil temp, battery voltage, trans temp, oil pressure, you get your pitch and roll, nice to see we're nice and flat on our brand-new picture studio here, latitude, longitude, and then you have your altitude, there were 812 feet up in the air, because it's a Sahara you get the leather trimmed dash, that's really nice, down here you get an Augs USB-C and a USB jack, you also have your four auxiliary upfitter switches, your 4x4 shifter down there, and then your 8-speed automatic transmission, of course you get the little Jeep logo on top there, and just the attention to detail with the stitching on every single handle, every piece of leather on this vehicle has that stitching on it, and of course we have the open-air concept here, SOS and assist buttons are right there, and then that button to close that top is right there, you also have your homelink buttons right there, and I suppose we can time it to see how fast it opens and closes, about 18 seconds, so that's that, let's take a quick look at the back seats, and then we'll do one more final walk around with all the LED lights on, back seats are also trimmed with that stitching, and the black leather, you get two USBs, two USB-Cs back here, and then a 115 volt 150 watt plug-in, child safety locks on the back doors, and we'll do one more final walk around here, and I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video, and I hope you enjoyed it, learned a little bit about the high altitude package, got to check out the snazbery color on a Wrangler, and couldn't have picked a better Wrangler to get it on, there's those LED headlamps, running lights, fog lights, and to see more pictures of this Wrangler, one of our other 450 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, Wranglers, you name it, we got it, go to our website www.summitauto.com, full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations, all at summitauto.com, and if you'd like to check out more HD videos, you can go to youtube.com slash summit auto, remember to like, subscribe, and share on this video, and all the videos that you see there, in fact in a second you'll see a link to subscribe to our YouTube channel on your left, a link to more Wrangler videos like this one on right, if you've not been to our website, on the bottom link to this vehicle on our website, click those, check us out, and we're super excited to be offering this brand new 2021 Jeep Wrangler High Altitude and Snazbery Pearl Coat, thanks again.


Look, I'm actually a little shocked by this one, but Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl 2? Actually really good. I swear the first one only released three months ago, and rather than trying to, I don't want to say, fix that one, but improve it, I suppose, they just decided to go ahead and make the sequel, and they added everything that was missing from the first one. They even added a whole single player roguelike campaign mode, and it's sick and a ton of fun. Initially, when I was approached to make this video, because yes, this video is sponsored by Gameboy Entertainment, and you can grab a copy of the game on all major platforms by using the link in the description below. All I was going to do is just play the game with my friend peanutbuttergamer and call it a day, and I didn't do that. Peeps, I requested you specifically because when I think of old-school cartoons, when I think of 90s nostalgia, there was one man that comes to mind and by jolly gosh, he answered the call. What's up, Wood? How are you? We got to get in a game, because I got to kick your ass, man. Have you played this yet so far? Because I hate to break it to you, but I've played for at least a couple hours. Yeah, well, when I found out you had the game, I was like, man, I got to practice. So I played like four or five games, I'm good. Okay, okay. So I think I'm good. Playing it with Peeps was a ton of fun, but when it came to actually making this video, I knew that wasn't enough, because I'd been absorbed in this campaign mode, and I wanted to talk about that too. All right, what's your favorite level, favorite map? Dude, the levels actually are pretty cool. I love the way they look, especially. So I picked the Thornberries one, because it's so iconic to me that it campervan dangling over the cliff. It actually is a pretty cool level. I was going to ask you what your favorite cartoons were growing up. It's a little basic, but I got to go with SpongeBob. And Patrick in particular, I found his character to be pretty fun. We can change costumes. I don't know if you knew that. Whoa, whoa. That costume looks sick. So if you didn't play the first Nick Allstars, a lot of what people wanted were things like voice acting, which was missing. And now this game is fully voice acted. Every character has a voice lanes. Even the side characters in the campaign mode are fully voiced, and there's so many will talk about that. Outfits for characters. Each character has multiple different outfits to choose from, and some of them look sick, like the black and white comic book TMNT outfits, or this mech-a-rector, or the angry beavers in their cute little holiday shirts. I love the angry beavers. You want me to show you my favorite move? Yeah. No, no, I didn't mean it. What's your taunt real quick? Pizza. Oh, dude, that's pretty cool. I know. Let me see if I can get this. Trying something that's not working. You know what? No! Whoa, it didn't let me. You can't get that twice. You know what? I think I'm just going to... No! Don't give it to him! Well, that wasn't the way I was planning it, but, you know, whatever works. Okay, I want to talk about this campaign mode, because it's really cool. It's a roguelike, and you can pick the path of where you want to go next. For example, you can run into free upgrade sections, and you can pick to go see, like, Jimmy Neutron's dad, who gave me a bonus to my air attack that also gives it fire damage, or gar from Invader Zim, who gave my SpongeBob waterbending. Also, even these characters are fully voice. I always wondered what went on in Jimmy's lab. Now that I'm here, it's even more the mystery to me. If you run into another playable character on the run and beat them, you unlock them, and then you can use them in the campaign mode too, which makes playing through pretty addictive, because you want to fight and collect all the characters. And there are levels where they throw waves of enemies at you, but they're all non-playable side characters from all of these universes come together, like random fish people from SpongeBob's Town or the Foot Clan from TMNT. And then the currency you earn on the run are Nickelodeon blimps, like they used to give away at the Nick Choice Awards. You lose those at the end of the run, so you spend as much as you can on the run to level yourself up and make it as far as you can. But you do get to keep all your green slime and whatever these purple things are to upgrade yourself permanently at the home base or decorate the home base. And yeah, there's a home base. There's also a big boss fight at the end of every run. And these are really cool. They have their own cutscene, animations. The fights are bigger feeling fights than just typical matches. And also you can do a separate boss rush mode if you just want to see if you can beat them all in one go. Oh, we got to go to the air temple. Dude, I played a little bit of Reptar. I want to play him again just to show you his super move, assuming I can hit it. I want to do Gawfield to show you his lazy mode. Oh, yeah. Oh, there, there. It's a whole Gawfield. Reptar's block is also really good. I tried to build things. Oh, Gawfield has a pillar. Oh, a pillar. That's so cute. I'm going to try to...  What is going on? I have a cat. I have cat reflexes. I'm a slippery boy. Slippy boy. The amount of references, inside jokes, memes and characters they've stuffed in here is wild. One of the characters you can come across in the campaign is the hecking cabbage man from Avatar. And you can even buy one of his cabbages. It's just so random. It's quite peaceful at the air temple. My cabbage cart is rarely destroyed. Oh, my cabbages. And if you don't like all the roguelike elements, they're cool. I don't know why you wouldn't. There is a traditional arcade mode as well. As well as minigames. The burger level is pretty funny too. All right, let's do that. And then I'll be the Angry Beaver's one. I'll be Nigel Thornberry.  I'm pretty sure that's the opposite of what he stood for in the show. Yeah. Hey, desperate times. So I like these two because they play individually and you can switch between them. Wait, can I show you my favorite move? Yeah. Yeah. Got it. That's okay. I wanted I wanted to see it anyway. I did that on purpose. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? I really love that they added ultimates. And I don't know whose my favorite is, but it might be SpongeBob. Just because of how it's animated, like the actual SpongeBob cartoon, I've been playing it a bunch on my Switch and it works really well. I also got a code for the PC version and oh, that works even better. You know, this is a sponsored video. So I can't mention other games that may or may not be a lot like this game. You might have noticed that this genre is happening a lot lately. And I got to say as far as sheer quality and attention to detail, I think this one is unmatched as opposed to, I guess, what you would call the original. They even have extras like a jukebox mode to play all the music and a gallery where you can unlock still shots as you play the campaign mode and also trophies for the characters you beat the game with. You get a trophy for them. You know what I'm appreciating about the game now more than before because when I played this with Peanut Butter Gamer, we were just screaming over the top of the game the whole time. How much the music slaps. They went so unnecessarily hard making the music in this game so much better. You don't believe me? Listen to this guy. Yo, what the heck? That's sick. That city aquarium. Also, the main theme in itself is awesome. I've been playing it in this video. Listen to the bop they did for jellyfish fields. It's like a remix of jellyfish fields and it's like lo-fi and kind of slaps. Hold on, hold on, hold on, let me get to the TMNT one. It's so wonderfully 80s. Dude, it's so good. I love all this music so much. I've actually just been going through on a YouTube playlist listening to all of them. I haven't heard this one yet. No shot, my guy. That has to be a turtle's one. Dude, I can sit here all day. There's so many tracks. Okay, okay, last one, last one.  Oh, it's going to hit. I feel it. Okay, you get the point. I really do feel like every element of the game, they have upping the ante and making it such good quality. This is a great soundtrack. All right, back on with the video. I just had to add that. That was scary. Okay, well, I don't know. I don't need to be juggled right now. I can't with you right now. Last airbender said this is better than horror. Confirmed, confirmed. Yeah, the better airbender one, I think. And that is Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. I'll leave links down below if you can grab one. I really appreciate Game Mill Entertainment for wanting to sponsor the channel again and giving me a chance to play this. I forgot what my bubble button is. Whoa, out of there. With all my inventions, I couldn't beat imagination. He's in the bottom right freaking out. All my inventions. Thanks so much. That was so much fun. Yeah, for sure. Thanks for having me. Any time peanut butter gamer at youtube.com forward slash peanut butter gamer, I'm guessing. Yes, that was about right to me. Bye. Bye.


Let's speak with you today about application-aware service training and what is it designed for and what is the current status of standardization on this topic. So let's start first by a quick definition of what we mean by application-aware service training. If you have a look at a regular network, you will find a long chain of middle boxes. Typically, that could be on a GI LAN or even in a data center. You will find firewall, load balancer, caching. And in a typical network, you have this long chain of devices. And it means that each and every flow have to go in each and every middle box. That's very inefficient because many of the flows shouldn't have to go to all of these boxes. And people are thinking about service training to make that a bit more efficient so that you can automate placement of middle boxes. But in general, it's not application-aware. What we'd like to do with application-aware service training is making sure that only the right flows are going to the right boxes. Typically, in this example, you'd like to have HTTP flow going to load balancing and firewall. But video might not go to firewall because there is not much thread to find inside videos. So the general idea of application-aware service training is to build service chain which are subscriber-aware and application-aware, which is not the case today. So service training is useful when you want to dynamically deploy boxes and you want to enforce some policies and do some processing on some flows, but certainly not on all the flows. So at the end of the day, if you build a network with application-awareness service training, you will be able to get a better optimization of your resources because only the right flows will go to the right middle boxes. And it will make you easier to automate the deployment of services inside the network. So this problem has been taken from different angle by different standard organization. We can start by the Etsy, right? So at the Etsy, there is this concept of network services. And it's basically a VNF forwarding graph. So you take several virtual network functions, you connect them with virtual links, and with that, you build network services. And what we see is that it's very close to service training because you have these virtual network functions connected with virtual links. So this is mainly something designed at the manual management and orchestration level at the Etsy. At the ONF, this is as well something which is being discussed. But from a different perspective, here it's more how you can dynamically configure that from the control plane level. And for that, you need to extend the northbound interface of a controller. But you also need to extend the open-flow protocol so that the controller can populate the network infrastructure with the right application level, layer 7 information. So that's something which is currently being discussed as well at the ONF. And if you have a look at the Etsy, people are working on that as well. So there is a very active working group called SFC, which stands for Service Function Training. And here you have mainly two proposals, one coming from Cisco. It's called NSH. Another one is coming from Huawei. It's called SCA.  The good news is that during last IETF in Toronto, it was decided to merge these two different protocols. But basically, the idea is to tag IP packets and to extend IP packets with chain or pass identifier or chain IDs. And this protocol could be NSH, SCH. It's a great example of a great place where we could also carry layer 7 information, such as application ID or metadata. And we'll talk more about that. There is also a lot of work currently being done in the Open Daylight Foundation and in the OpenStack regarding group-based policy, GBP. There are many discussions around GBP right now. And GBP is also all about service training and how you have these model-driven policies. And we are also working on that to make it more application aware. So three different perspectives and three different standard organization trying to solve a similar problem. The good news is that all of that is currently emerging. And the goal of this presentation is to present you how all that articulates with more details. So let's start with IETF. So at the IETF, there is this reference architecture where all packets have to go to what we called a classifier. It's also called service classifier. My presentation should be shorter than that. So yeah, at the IETF, the idea is to have all packets arriving in a classifier. Classifier is a network function that could be done in a virtual suite. That could be a separate physical box. But the idea is to say, OK, based on various criteria, could be layer 2, layer 3, layer 4, could be subscriber, could be DPI, different kind of criteria, you will tag IP packets. And you will add a new header in front of this IP packet. So it could be NSH, it could be SCH, based on VXLAN, it could be Genev and VGRE. So you have many proposals here. But the idea is to tag these IP packets. And then in the data plane, it could be physical or it could be virtual data plane instead of routing IP packets based on IP addresses or switching IP address, switching packets based on MAC addresses, you will do chain switching. And this chain can be defined by an application ID. So suddenly, you have the ability to say, OK, if I see video traffic, I want to go this chain. If I see video traffic, I want to go this chain. And you have an application-aware network. So that's what we are working on at the IETF. And you have many people working on that at the IETF. And this is mainly the service training but taken from the data plane point of view. So typical example extracted from the IETF draft. So you are adding that in front of an IP packet. You have this path identifier. And this path can be the result of a rule and gene taking into account subscriber ID and application ID. Second level is this level. So this graph has been designed by people working at the Layer 4 to 7 working group at the ONF, at the Open Networking Foundation. So the idea is to say, OK, we now have this very smart infrastructure which is able to do switching based on chain IDs instead of IP addresses or MAC addresses. But now you need to populate all the network infrastructure with all this information. And this is where the ONF is working. So you have this SDN controller. And one application that could be designed on top of this SDN controller is an SFC controller, SFC for service function training. So you have REST APIs where you can say, OK, if I see HTTP, I want this chain. If I see audio, I want this chain.  And then you have the SDN controller using OpenFlow extension which will populate the physical infrastructure or the virtual infrastructure using OpenFlow or using up flex like protocols. So you have different options here. But the idea is to say, OK, here you have REST APIs where you describe the chains. And here you have the controller doing computing how that should be deployed then in the physical or virtual network. And using an OpenFlow extension or an up flex protocol, you are deploying that into the underlying infrastructure. And you use IETF, SFC, it could be an SH or SCH to do the physical switching or virtual switching of IP packets. So here is a typical extension that could be done in OpenFlow. But OpenFlow is just an option. There are other options to do that. So if you take a typical OpenFlow table, you will find the regular 14 criteria. But you could certainly add others like the application IDs and build OpenFlow rules based on layer 7 criteria instead of layer 2, layer 3, or layer 4 criteria. So these are very interesting extensions that could be added to OpenFlow or to virtual switches and that have to be populated using OpenFlow protocols. So this is the second layer of this architecture. Third layer is what is being done at the Etsy. Well, I'm speaking about Etsy. But actually, you have similar stuff happening with GPP for OpenStack. People in Neutron are also working on that. So basically here, what we need to say is to explain is how you build. So if we use the Etsy terminology, it's network services. So a network service is a combination of several virtual network functions. And they are all connected together using virtual links. And with each and every virtual link, you have a policy which is coming, right? Saying, I want this QS. I want this security policy, and so on. And at the end of the day, that's very close to service chaining. So the good news is that as you might know, we are about to end the phase one of the Etsy. We are about to enter in the phase two of Etsy NFV ISG. And in this phase two, we are now defining how this Etsy orchestration will be interconnected with OpenFlow infrastructure. So they are new. They call that liaison group, which are currently being set up to define how the management and orchestration layer of the Etsy should interact with people at the ONF. And these are definitely this SFC source-bound interface, which is a northbound interface of the controller, which is currently being defined here. Typically, that will probably be REST APIs. And then here you will have OpenFlow or UpFlex protocols being used to populate that down to the infrastructure. So here it's a typical example. It's extracted from the NFV draft, right? So you have endpoints. You have the network functions that are virtual network functions. But then you have this physical infrastructure or virtual infrastructure, which is under that. So that's very interesting, because we see at the end of the day, we are coming. That's very funny, because I think that at the beginning, you have three different standard organizations taking similar problems from three different angles. But what we see right now is all of that is currently converging into a unified infrastructure to be able to do application-aware service training and service training. So that's very interesting to see all this trend where three different things are converging to a unified view and a unified model. So if we have a look at that in more details, so what are the important working groups working on that? So you will find at OpenStack, so you have many people working on GBP, group-based policy. So it's a simplified neutron, if you will, or something making the network more policy-driven. So there are many discussions on this topic there. Then there is the Etsy NFV Management and Orchestration Group, which is very important. And in this group, there is a subgroup called the VNF Forwarding Graph, which is all about how you connect all these virtual network functions. So this is really for the management and orchestration layer. Then if we have a look at this controller level, there is a little bit of work being done currently at the ONF. It's mainly people working on the NBI, the northbound interface, how you configure these service chains using REST APIs. So right now, people are talking about that. But then also, you have people working on the Extensibility Working Group, which is all about how you extend the open-flow protocol so that it's richer and it is able to carry and to populate the underlying infrastructure with chain information and layer seven informations. And there is also an interesting working group here, which is the layer four to seven working group, where people are defining use case and how middle boxes are being plugged into an open-flow infrastructure. So this is currently work currently being done. And then if we have a look at the infrastructure level, you will find the IETF. So Service Function Chaining is a key working group right now. A lot of work is currently being done in this working group at the IETF. But there is also the NV03, which is about the overlay network. So these are protocols like, this is where we define protocol like Vexline, NVGRE, Geneva, and all of that to be able to extend these IP packets with chain information, also known as past identifiers. So this is, I call that the unified model because this is a result of three different standard organization converging to a unified model. That's very important. And that's a good news to see that these groups are working all together. We can speak a bit about projects and products. So you will find products like open-source product in green and commercial product in black. So you will find all the usual companies right here. Typical Alcatel Lucent, HP, Huawei. All these guys are working in these domains. Here for the controller, open daylight, very active. Control working on service chaining. HP with commercial product like Van working on that. And you see all these guys are involved in this control plane layer. And here you will find Huawei, Cisco, all these guys working on the infrastructure. OK, then there is a very, now that we have this unified view, you have key questions that are still remaining. And there are a lot of debates right now. Where should the intelligence be, right? So if we assume that we have a model-driven management, meaning that you define policies, right, using GDP, group-based policies, to describe the way communication should be described, then this could be the way rules are then computed and executed, could be done in different places. So you have people who say, OK, that should be done at OpenStack level, OK? You have other people saying, OK, GPP should just be, GPP rules and policies should be stored at OpenStack. But then that should be done at the controller level. It could be Open Daylight or it could be another controller. And then that should be converted into OpenFlow at the controller level. And then you have a third model, which is to say, OK, you have GPP here, you have similar GPP rules, and that should be, and you should have all the policies directly being stored in the infrastructure. And that's why the UpFlex protocol have been designed by Cisco and is now proposed at the IETF. It's to say, OK, the intelligence should remain here, and all this complex rule should go from the top to the bottom, but then computed and executed at the bottom. So you have debates here about where the intelligence should be, and you probably understand there is a lot of implication with that. OK, so a few words on what we are doing at Cosmos to make all these service training infrastructure application aware. So a few key contributions we did, and we are working on GPP. So we are making classifiers application aware, which is not the case today because they are mainly layer 2, 3, 4 driven, Etsy, SDN, liaison group. So it's a joint group between the OpenFlow and the Etsy. So we are involved there in a few proof of concept. We will work at the ONF to make that more application aware and design how we should populate the underlying infrastructure. And we have a few drafts being signed by our company here to make SFC more application aware. So these are our key contributions to make this infrastructure application aware. So as a summary, I think the reason for this presentation was just to explain service training is becoming a key concept because it will be a new way to design networks instead of having a chain of services. People will have that more like as an hub with a service classifier, and then you will divert only some flows to some virtual functions. So that will be absolutely key in the future, both for service providers and data centers. It requires a tremendous amount of standardization to make that possible because you make different solutions and interoperate. And it requires application awareness that is lacking today if you want to make sure that you save resources and you only send the right flows to the right middle boxes. I have 16 seconds, so I don't know if you have questions. No? Thank you.


We spent a lot of time talking about the 5e model of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate and what each one of those mean in the teaching of science and truly making inquiry-based science lessons for students to be truly engaged in the teaching of science and following that 5e model will naturally, it's a natural inquiry-based science teaching in learning for the students. So I'm really excited to incorporate those different the 5e model into my teaching of science. Yeah another thing we spent a lot of time on was using an interactive science notebook so we were able to develop some professional development for our staff as well, our colleagues, and that's something I look forward to implementing next year is using that interactive science notebook as a way to get the science content across while also building those literacy skills.


U.S. to send vampires to Ukraine. U.S. officials are set to announce another 1.3 billion U.S. dollar arms package for Ukraine, including multiple types of suicide drones and the newly developed Vampire rocket launch system according to Reuters. The latest military assistance will be unveiled sometime this week, the outlet reported, citing two U.S. officials. Kiev will receive ammunition, radar and other counter drone systems in addition to the Vampire or vehicle agnostic modular palletized ISR rocket equipment produced by U.S. arms contractor L3 Harris. The Vampire can be mounted on most vehicles with a cargo bed, including civilian pickup trucks or installed in a fixed position. The weapon consists of a targeting sensor and a launch pod equipped with four 70 millimeter laser guided rockets and can be used by a single operator against both air and ground targets. While L3 Harris says the system is configurable with different sensors and weapons packages, it remains unclear which variants will be provided to Kiev. The upcoming weapons package will also include two types of loitering munitions, drones equipped with explosives, which orbit the battlefield in search of a target, the Phoenix Ghost and the Switchblade. Both UAVs have been sent to Ukraine in the past with nearly 600 Phoenix Ghosts supplied in a $95 million arms shipment last year.


Have you ever heard about the stone spheres of Costa Rica? In the 1930s, while clearing jungle to make room for banana plantations, the United Fruit Company stumbled across ancient stones that were so perfectly spherical that they were never even considered their significance at the time. In fact, bulldozers were used to get them out of the way and they were even blown up as the workers speculated for gold. Astonishing, right? The sites around Costa Rica have been evaluated by very few over the years, but as of 2010 the site has been evaluated as a UNESCO Protected World Heritage Site of major importance to the history of humanity. Wait till you hear this. The Finca VI Archaeological Site is not only of major interest, it is also a complete mystery. Why these stones exist is the subject to much speculation and guesswork at best. But the fact remains. We don't know why they exist, we don't know how old they are, and we don't even know which civilization these things belong to. They are simply a mystery. Though many of the stone spheres were moved, researchers have found that they were often arranged in lines or triangles. The Finca VI revealed two groups of stone spheres in a straight line, parallel to each other, oriented east, west, and approximately 130 meters apart. But why? Why go to all the trouble to create such elaborate and unique stonework? Some believe that the stones came from Atlantis and were polished smooth by the water. Others believe they are the work of aliens. Several legends hold that the ancient natives had a powerful potion that could soften rock. In the indigenous Bribri culture, it's believed that Terra, the god of thunder, used a giant blowpipe to shoot these cannonballs at the gods of winds and hurricanes in order to drive them away. Could there really have been a secret civilization that existed in Costa Rica thousands of years ago? What are the stone spheres representing? What are they there for? Many of the spheres are made of granite like rock, yet the granite rock quarries were often 25 or 30 miles away from the location of the largest stone sphere. How then did the sculptors move such heavy stones? Some of the stones after all weigh 16 tons. If the granite stones were moved before they were sculpted, then a 9 foot cube that would be needed to sculpt a sphere 8 feet in diameter would weigh a whopping 24 tons.  Could they have been a deliberate attempt to map out the stars or something like that? Who knows? Whatever their purpose was, the fact remains that they were created for a reason of high importance that is almost unimaginable for us to understand. What happened to the civilization that created them? Why is there no records of their existence and how did they suddenly vanish? Much like we see in the ancient Mayan ruins, the jungle reclaimed the area over a very long period of time. Could there still be places in the deep jungles today that we are still to discover? What do you guys think of these ancient stone spheres? We would love to hear your theories so please comment below. As always, thank you for watching.


Pros to become a volunteer English teacher. I believe that volunteering as a concept is a worthwhile activity, especially if the volunteer is helping a charity. In the field of volunteer teaching, the volunteer can also gain valuable teaching experience which can provide a great start to their teaching career. My story. This follows my personal experience. I started my teaching career as a volunteer teacher of 16 to 20 year old pupils at CDC, the Children's Development Center, which is a school for Burmese migrants in Masat, Thailand. I had no previous teaching experience at all, and the position allowed me to gradually gain teaching experience. I felt very happy to teach the subject community development to the pupils because this was my field of university study. The reasons to volunteer. The reasons why people work as volunteer teachers, and the reasons for volunteering in general, can vary. There are two main reasons why people work as volunteer teachers. The first reason is clearly altruistic because the person concerned doesn't expect to gain any personal benefit from working for the school. The main incentive for this type of volunteer teacher is a good feeling gained from helping others. These volunteer teachers are very often older people from Europe, North America or Australia, spending their retirement by doing good deeds. I met several of these teachers during my stay at CDC school. The second type of volunteer teaching is based on a certain kind of mutuality and reciprocity. These volunteer teachers do the same work as the first type of altruistic volunteers. The difference lies in their personal goals. While the first type expects to only obtain positive feelings from their good deeds, this second type of volunteer does their job largely in order to gain useful teaching experience, and the accompanying teaching skills, confidence, and experience to make themselves more attractive to a future paying employer. However, this does not mean that these volunteers are not altruistic. Most of the volunteers and volunteer teachers are empathic people who do their work happily and conscientiously. How It Influences Your Experience My personal experience of volunteer teaching was that I found it very fulfilling and satisfying. My future plan is to work as a paid full-time teacher. Because I had never taught before, I decided to teach as a volunteer to learn how to teach and gain experience. At the very beginning, I was quite nervous because this was my very first experience of this kind. Luckily the local as well as international staff supported me and helped me a lot, especially at the start. Thanks to this I quickly started to develop my teaching skills and gain self-confidence, and I quickly set myself up as a competent teacher and a useful member of the teaching staff. Are You Ready to Teach English Abroad? In terms of volunteering as such, an important factor is a school the volunteer chooses to work for. I was very lucky to work in a school with a friendly environment, with kind staff and great students who I will never forget. I believe that volunteer teaching is an excellent tool to allow those who wish to become teachers to gain valuable experience and help the particular school and students.

This was contained in a letter read by the Speaker of the House, Tajidina Bas at Plenary. The letter also stated that in order to guarantee the credibility of the process, digital transfers will be made directly to beneficiaries' account and mobile wallet. The President said under the conditional cash transfer window of the program, the federal government of Nigeria will transfer the sum of $8,000 naira per month to 12 million poor and low-income households for a period of six months, with a multiply effect on about 60,000 individuals. In further weeks to note that under the conditional cash transfer window of the program, the federal government of Nigeria will transfer the sum of $8,000 naira per month to 12 million poor and low-income households for a period of six months, with a multiplier effect on about 60 million individuals. In order to guarantee the credibility of the process, digital transfers will be made directly to beneficiaries' account and mobile wallets.

U.S. General Sirsky to become unpleasant surprise for Russians on battlefield. Former commander of the U.S. forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, commented on changes in the top military leadership of Ukraine and said that Oleksandr Sirsky would be an unpleasant surprise for the Russian army. This is reported by the Telegram channel of the general staff of the Ukrainian army. Hodges noted that the decision to replace the commander-in-chief was difficult for the president, since Zaluzny was an effective commander who was respected by soldiers and society who was well known and respected by allies. However, he added that Volodymyr Zelensky is in charge of everything for now and it is his prerogative, especially in a democratic society to have the man in the position of commander who, in his opinion, gives Ukraine the biggest chance to win. Oleksandr Sirsky, of course, is the officer who was chosen by the president to take command of the Ukrainian armed forces. This is not a beauty contest or a popularity competition. The president has chosen the officer he feels is more appropriate for this phase of the war. He's a fighter. He's experienced. He's tough. And I think the Russians are not at all happy to see another outstanding commander at the head of the Ukrainian armed forces, the former U.S. Army commander, stressed.
