very much. We're coming out here on what is not exactly a sunshiney day. Could I just tell you, you've made me very proud by coming out this way to see me off, but you've made me even more proud by the fact of what you represent. You are the largest American delegation in Europe, and you're here serving our country, some of you with regard to the European community, some with regard to the alliance, and then many of you are here also just representing our government, and certainly the military. I am so proud of the detachment as they are assigned to the NATO alliance and that is defending America as well as the peace of the world.  I'm going to issue an executive order.  Thank you all. God bless you all.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says by selling an Almeera for rupees 200 a man gains one fourth of its cost price find its cost price. Before we move on to the solution let's recall the formula for gain. Gain is equal to the selling price sp minus the cost price cp. This is the key idea for this question. Let's proceed with the solution now. Now since we need to find the cost price of the Almeera so we assume let the cost price that is cp of an Almeera be equal to rupees x. Now in the question is given that the gain that the man gains by selling the Almeera is one fourth of its cost price so we have gain is equal to one upon four into the cost price that is rupees x. So this is equal to rupees x upon four is the gain. Now since from the key idea we have that gain is equal to sp minus cp that is the selling price minus the cost price. So from here we get selling price is equal to gain plus cost price. Now in the question we have that the selling price of an Almeera is given as rupees 200 so this is equal to rupees 200 and we have got the gain as rupees x upon four and the cost prices rupees x. So we will substitute all these values in this. So we get rupees 200 is equal to rupees x upon four plus rupees x or this means we have 200 is equal to x upon four plus x that is 200 is equal to 5x upon four which means that 5x is equal to 200 into 4. So this gives us 5x is equal to 800. Now x would be equal to 800 upon five law five 160 times is 800 therefore we get x is equal to 160 and we had assumed x to be the cost price of an Almeera. So we get the cost price or cp of the Almeera is equal to rupees 160. So final answer is rupees 160. This completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution for this question.


Everything was like not just frozen.  And it's that happens. That's why the experience has to be You have to know how you're going to react once you get hit And some fighters can go a long time and not know how they're going to react when they're in trouble You know, that's what sometimes guys can have a really good war And come out of that much better fighter because they were tested and and they may not stouted themselves like Me I I'm I'm pretty well tested and I'm pretty much know that if I if I were to go in a cage fight fight and get Started to get beat down. I quit I'm not that tough. You know, I'm not built like that. I'm not I don't I don't You know, um, not all the time I think I wouldn't I wouldn't fold in a in a street fighter would still try to survive But um, but some people are just like they can go into those deep waters and that's what makes the fighter You know that they can base their whole game off of that And other guys don't even know how they'll react when they get hit and you've got to know like I know how I would do in those situations And I because I've proven to myself that a I can get I can get through it. I've done it before B to me. It's not worth it.  They may get caught in something but but when They because there's something that happens.  I can get through this. I've gone harder or it happens like Um, I used to wrestle on fridays with dox. No, he's what how big is that? and I just use it as a as a time to Call my my emotions and wait by my time on the bottom and try not to panic and Turn the tip turn the tides But what happens as a A result of that is that when I go wrestle other people They're not narrowly as tough or strong and I just naturally beat them because I'm already used to a higher level Right, you're saying so it's putting yourself in those situations of experiences that changes you on some level And and but you don't want to overdo it like that. Um, right. Yeah, you know Matt Hughes in their training camp used to be notorious for hurting guys and Yeah, yeah, and and so a lot of guys You know the injury To reward factors is it gets too much at some point it's in my opinion It's almost almost more important to go there at least once or twice When you know, it's gonna happen, but to get taken in those deep waters then it is to do it all the time


I love this story. So there is a group based out of Washington called the Washington Three Percenters, which basically consists of armed thugs, white supremacists, and over the weekend they held a rally called March for Our Rights, which is supposed to be the right-wing response to the Parkland students' March for Our Lives. Apparently this rally that they held didn't go as planned because a local member of city council out of the area wrote this on Facebook.  His security blocked event organizers from getting him off the stage or pulling power from the generator. After the crowd realized what he was saying and turned on him, his security then rushed the stage and evacuated them to awaiting private ambulance that was contracted to be their escape transport. It was a setup and a smack in the face of the great people who put on this event. And if you're wondering, yes, we have the video footage. Now he claims that the crowd turns on Sasha Baron Cohen at one point, but watch how far he takes it with this song and they're still on board. So my question is at what point did he lose the crowd because they seemed like they were on board with everything that he was saying, no matter how ridiculous that seemed. Now it was kind of hard to understand everything. But basically he called coronavirus a liberal hoax. They agreed. And then there were a couple of different responses that he tried to get the crowd to yell, give them the Wuhan flu or chop him up like the Saudis do. So he said, what are we going to do with Dr. Fauci? They yelled, chop him up like the Saudis do. So they're advocating for violence against the public official. He said CNN is fake news controlled by the you know who, which is obviously referencing an anti-Semitic trope about Jewish people controlling the media. I mean, did you hear any booze from the crowd? I didn't hear any booze. It seems like he didn't lose them at that point. He says, journalists, what are we going to do? The crowd chanted, chop him up like the Saudis do. Wow. Now to be clear, he is basically telling them to say, chop him up like the Saudis do. And he's telling them to say this. What's absurd is the fact that they're agreeing to this. They're agreeing to say what he is telling them to say. To them, it's not too absurd. Or maybe they're not thinking. They're just dumb. But either way, I mean, this is pretty incriminating. The last thing, Chinese people, what are we going to do? Nuke them up like in World War II. So all of this, and it was the Japanese who were nuked. But I'm sure that nobody in the crowd was confused. But nobody was lost here. Like nobody protested this. Nobody like ran up to the stage and you know, tried to get them to come down. If it was that controversial to this crowd, don't you think that when he started talking about chopping up people like the Saudis, he would have lost them? But that public official claims that, you know, he lost the crowd at some point. At what point? Now, maybe he does lose the crowd because we don't have the full video. That was just the Facebook live stream that somebody posted to YouTube. I don't know if this is part of Sasha Barron's second season of his show on Showtime. Who knows? But all I'm saying is the fact that he got the crowd to go along with this extremist, quite literal fascistic rhetoric, it really speaks to how deranged the far right is. And it's not surprising because the far right is deranged. Otherwise they wouldn't be, you know, far right. But these are the people who support Donald Trump. These are the people who they have big signs there that say defend against tyranny as they literally call for tyranny, chop up journalists, bomb other countries, nuk other countries, nuke public officials or chop up public officials like they do in Saudi Arabia.   So you can argue, you know, that the radical left is a scary boogeyman that we should all be afraid of. But what are they doing? That's so bad. They're tearing down racist statues of Confederate soldiers who shouldn't be there in the first place. Time and again, we see property damage. What they're advocating here is for murder and genocide. And apparently they were offended, but he got through a lot of that song. Maybe he went more extreme at the end and they started to realize put two into together. Maybe he's trolling us, but either way, I mean, this is not a good look for right wingers. It shows you how extreme they've become. And yet the media talks about the far left all the time. We have an entire political party that is far right. Some elected members of Congress who are Republican are quite literally fascist now. We're not talking about proto-fascists. We're talking about outright fascism here, advocating for, you know, United States citizens to be extra judicially murdered. Matt Gaetz just tweeted out a couple of weeks ago that we should hunt down Antifa like we do the terrorists in the Middle East. This party is so extreme that a party like this, this far right of a party would usually be relegated to the fringes in Europe, not necessarily now, but they wouldn't be mainstream, right? Like UKIP is about as extreme as Republicans and they don't really have a chance of ever putting together a governing coalition. I shouldn't say that because they are moving to the right, but you get the point. Like the Republican Party in comparison with other right wing parties around the world is so further to the right, so much more extreme and, you know, it's not just their rhetoric any longer, now they're actually advocating, let's move towards violence, not just against, you know, foreign enemies, but let's maybe advocate for violence against American journalists, American public officials like Dr. Fauci. I mean, this should make all of them stop and think and be introspective. If you're a conservative in America, this should scare you that your side is advocating this. And if it doesn't scare you, if you have nothing to say, then I guess you agree with it.


Imagine.  You've gotten straight A's in all the hardest classes, completed hundreds of hours of community service, smoked those standardized tests, even made the varsity basketball team three years running.  It's the admissions office at Harvard. They say don't bother filling out the application at all. You've been accepted. Congratulations. You start this August. Now, on one hand, you'd be happy.  But on the other hand, you might feel a little let down, right? I mean, you've done all this hard work. You've given up hanging out with friends for extra study time. You've lost sleep. Maybe you never even really liked basketball in the first place. After all the sacrifices you've made, you kind of wanted to see if you could earn that spot at Harvard. Stories like this one don't happen in real life. But this hypothetical scenario might help you to understand the plot device called Deus Ex Machina. Deus Ex Machina is Latin for God from the machine. And the device has been around since the time of Greek theater. The ancient playwright Euripides popularized the technique. His tragedies placed characters in these confounding situations. This drove to resolve their dilemmas only to be saved from defeat at the last moment by an early form of special effect. See, Euripides enjoyed delivering gods to the stage with the help of a machine kind of like a crane. They'd kind of float in from above. And that's why it's called Deus Ex Machina. This plot device has been used ever since by writers struggling to find an ending to their story. You might have seen it in William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies about children stranded on an island who are rescued by a naval officer who happens to be passing the island. Charles Dickens used it in Oliver Twist and Tolkien did too in Lord of the Rings. Even Shakespeare was known to rely on the technique from time to time. And when Deus Ex Machina is used, readers almost always feel a little let down. Here's why. Any story, ancient or contemporary, is built from just a few key ingredients. We have a setting, the reality in which the story occurs. We have our protagonist, who is the leading character, our star. And we have the problem that protagonist is trying to resolve. The plot of any story is built from the actions that protagonist takes to resolve the problem. The most satisfying stories, believe it or not, tend to be those in which our protagonist struggles. We see the character encountering obstacles, trying to overcome them, failing at first, and then we hope succeeding. One obstacle leads to another and to another, and in the story's climax, the protagonist faces the most demanding obstacle of all. By this magical moment in a story, we the audience are on the edge of our seats. We're rooting for the protagonist. We so hope our hero is up to the challenge. Deus Ex Machina steals our joy. Rather than getting to watch our hero overcome that most demanding obstacle, Voldemort or the Dark Side, we watch as our hero is rescued by some outside force. Our hero turns out never to have been the hero at all, only a victim needing help. Imagine if Harry Potter in book 7 forgot how to lob spells and was rescued from certain death by Queen Elizabeth. Now the force that rescues the protagonist, it doesn't have to be a god or a queen. But it does have to come from outside the story's immediate setting. Remember Lord of the Flies. For the whole book, we've been on the island with these stranded children as they struggle to stay alive, spearing pigs, organizing rival factions, avoiding cold-hearted murder. In the end, our hero is about to be slayed by his former classmates. He's helpless on the beach. But rather than save himself, he's saved by a character we've never seen before, that naval officer. Someone from outside the setting of the island, who happens upon this specific beach in just that lucky moment.  But in fiction, we hope our hero is up to the task of solving her own problems.


Virte gone sixth in League 2 in one of this evening's best-looking League 2 games. The Bantam forces suggest that he's sometimes too harsh on his players, but Graffin are off the bat with disappointing results against Grimsby, and they need to find more decisive performances in West Yorkshire. Scott Lindsay's been complimentary of tonight's opponents, but Swindon's hit a point to Botham, and despite losing on the road to top of the table with Stevenich, they do have solid away form. Is Graffin against Swindon? Roll to this right-hand side, and Hutton wanted it back. It's a loop down this right-hand side instead for the experienced Johnny Williams. A little toe poke there. Back with Hutton, who's balling to the centre. He's dangerous, not a towards goal, Tamely though. Hutton's ball picked out his man perfectly, but no real power behind it. Pass through. And Tariq right. A couple of options. Goals for goal. It's well-stocked by Bryn. Did have the through ball to the left-hand side, opted for the strike. Far off opening the evening's goals. Put a frustrated figure at the moment, Mark Hughes. To Matty Folds. Charges towards the penalty area, tries to square it. Might drop nicely here for Harry Chapman. Just wide a goal. Set himself well-hitted cleanly. His compass just a few points off. That was close for Bradford. They're on top now. Jeremy Simpson. Chapman with the strike. It's just wide a goal again. Beautifully taken free kick. Swindon will have been worried for a moment that... It's getting close. And Sam puts it forward. Left-hand side again for Matty Folds. Right leaves it, comes back towards Tariq. Right! Bradford out of the season. Here was a gorgeous through ball. He's run to perfection. And slammed home the opener. And Bradford make a dominant spell of possession pay. Chance here for Swindon to come forward. Still going here. Swindon, he might set up nicely. Lewis deals it in the end. Swept into his arms. Simple for the keeper. Which pace, as you can see here, just dropped a little bit in the last few minutes. Towards Harry Chapman here. Trying to get away from Johnny Williams. Has got away from Johnny Williams. Swindon will deal with it. Almost another big moment there for Bradford. Lovely turn. Lovely ball through. Chapman still had a lot to do. Got away from Williams. Couldn't find a teammate. Swindon have got away with one there. Left-hand side. Swindon have started his second half. Brilliantly, it's a good chance for Jacob Wakeling. A blistering start to his second half from Swindon. Almost rewarded with a goal. Step over, and it's Wakeling again. Trying to get away from Gilead. Wakeling shots! Just wide. They're absolutely flying at the start of this second half. The visitors' chance after chance so far. And with Clayton Bradford are going to go to hold with this ball. They're barely being able to create much in this second half. And here they come again. Swindon Wakeling save. First time by Lewis. The pressure is still on. Free kick given. Very similar to a chance only a few minutes ago. Right through the middle. Wakeling can't make it tell in towards the touch line. Tyreek Wright wants it. He really wants it. Pereira gets it. Save low. Comes again to Cook who shot his deflected wide. Which better from Bradford City. Cook had too many bodies in the way. He's sent a circle. There's a gorgeous ball. There's a few options here for Swindon. Wakeling's in for it. Great defending from Clayton. How many more chances is Jacob Wakeling going to get? Getting closer and closer each time. Nervous here. Plenty of green shirts to find in the middle. Deflected first time. Flicked up towards goal and onto the top of the net. Must manage to steer himself and put it towards goal. Close again. Cook's a worried figure. Bradford under a lot of pressure here. Penalty area now. Into the area. Shea plays it back and trying to find a route through. Jeremy Simpson points to the spot. Big chance for Swindon to get level. Back to him. And he was able to prod it by a Harry Lewis who had absolutely no chance. This is a good save first time around. Not much more he could do. The less. And Swindon have won in truth. He's an entirely deserved equaliser. The team's gone out of this game in these last few minutes. Free kick. And a chance with pretty much the last kick of the game. It's Smallwood, I think he'll take it. Smallwood! Just why, from Richie Smallwood. The moment. The ground thought it was in. To be honest, so did I. Bradford controlled the first. Chapman was busy making chances. Smallwood put string after string. The Bantams broke through. Tirey Grain timed his route to perfection and drove it across. Saw Bryn to give the home side the lead. Whatever Scotland he said at halftime worked. Decided to rejuvenate it after the break and were dominant afterwards. The draw in the end. Bradford won.


All right, three, two, one. First of all, Pat, congratulations. You just talked about what it means to, you know, third-trip here in the world, and we're next championship. Yeah, you know, I mean, I've been putting in a lot of work over the summer. I've been putting in work all season long with one goal in mind, and it was this. We've been talking about, you know, being happy with top five, but in the back of my mind, I knew, you know, I wouldn't be happy unless I got first place. So I am thrilled and excited. Can I take us through your race, you know, since it's kind of game-planning by the last few races to kind of help back and then have that kick in front of that three-kilometer mark. So just kind of take us through that. Yeah, so the goal before I knew it was raining was to hopefully make a move around three miles. I thought that would change because of the rain and the conditions, but that ended up being what I did. The first two miles, we went out pretty quick, and I was feeling a little tired, so I wasn't sure if I was going to do it. But once we hit three miles, I made the move, and we decided to go, and the rest was history. Can you talk about, like I mentioned before, it's your third straight trip here. What's your experience of having been here before, being in this environment, helped you a little bit this year, and I know what it's like. Yeah, absolutely. You know, my first year here, I was just kind of going out there, running in the middle of the pack, just finishing wherever I could and be happy with it. Last year, I really got the experience of running up in the front of the pack, you know, with the top guys in the nation, and fell a little bit short at the end. They were able to go a little bit quicker than me, but this year I just knew, you know, getting the front, hang on, and I should be good. I trust my kick, I trust my endurance, so, yeah.


proudly we hail New York City where the American stage begins here is another program with a cast of outstanding players public service time has been made available by this station for your Army and your Air Force to bring you this story as proudly we hail Albert James Meyer soldier founder of the United States Weather Bureau our story is entitled profit with honor and is based on the career of General Albert J. Meyer whose foresight and fight against public disinterest finally gave our Army and Air Force the vast network of signal communications now extending to every part of the globe it was a difficult fight as you will see after this important message young man why not let a thought for tomorrow be your thought for today right now your United States Army the senior service needs qualified technicians in such varied and interesting fields as radio radar meteorology photography and many many others yes you can be trained to do a job and acquire a skill that will be of great benefit to you for the rest of your life you can also take pride in the fact that you answered your country's call in time of great need why not let a thought for tomorrow be your thought for today visit your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station and enlist in the United States Army and now your Army and your Air Force present the proudly we hail production profit with honor my name is Katherine Meyer my husband used to say quoting the Bible it shall come to pass that your sons and daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions I knew Albert for years before he had a chance to make his visions materialize I knew him even before he gave up private practices a doctor to enter the army I was Catherine Walden then Albert and I were engaged to be married in 1858 when I was visiting friends at the Army post where he was stationed it must have been around 6 30 at night as I recall I was pretty angry I went to Albert's office in the station hospital I could hear loud voices on the other side of the door and I'm not hello darling what brings you here Albert Colonel Wellbrick Albert I thought you were escorting me to Colonel and Mrs. Paines for dinner tonight oh my dear I forgot you forgot Albert's been working on that memorandum to Washington again about signal communication yes dear I got so engrossed in this new letter I'm sending to the Secretary of War I suppose I forgot for the moment for the moment you spent four years in college and four years in medical school to learn to be a doctor for what because my dad wanted me to be a doctor well then why all this nonsense about signal communication well can't I change my mind about my own future are you intending to change your mind about me too well no of course now darling I'll always love you now here look at this practice telegraph key here this was invented by a man named Samuel Morse he started out to be an artist but when he found out he'd never be a first-rate artist he turned inventor like me in surgery I'm not 30 yet my future is still a hell of me will you stop that I'm sorry doctor I didn't know what annoyed you now listen let me tell you something else it had better be quick all right now one of my first assignments in the army was in Texas we used to sit on the side of a hill and watch the Indian send smoke signals to each other across the valleys and what were our men doing thumbling around with wagon loads of colored penance kind of Navy uses on its ships all right so I said to myself why wouldn't it be more practical for the United States Army to take a page out of the Indians book and cut down equipment to just one pole with a flag on top or maybe a torch for night well now look pretend this pen is a pole four or five feet long I held in this position it would mean a like this be and so on some positions could even stand for whole phrases now for instance so you decided to sell the government on the idea of simplifying and coordinating the whole army signal system and you'd like the job well I guess I have mentioned it before not more than 30 times well we have 30 minutes late for dinner already I'm going and you needn't try wig wagging me from now on I'm way out of your sight wig way wig wag gets a good word for it wait Kathy I'm coming Albert and I were married in that same year 1858 and if I thought Albert would change with marriage I had anticipated far too much he still carried a torch not one that burned brightly with any flame of love it was a signal torch which no one was able to ignite for him there were brief flutters of the flame he sought the time he heard the military board had been authorized to consider his plan for simplifying the army signal system but the fire that had flickered for a moment blacked out again as for medicine that was the furthest thing from his thoughts he just wasn't meant to be a doctor the endless backaches sore throats and flat feet were just too much for his preoccupied soul but doctor my back hurts awful bad it's nothing but a slight touch of lumbago corporal take two of these pills every four hours you'll be alright and go back to duty back to duty come in oh I'm sorry I didn't it's alright Catherine come on is that all sir yes that's all corporal yes more backaches darling there's back aches and flat feet you got a letter I thought you might want to see it so I brought it over where's it from Washington here to form you to proceed without delay to Washington DC reporting upon arrival to the office of the secretary of war for further assignment by order the secretary of war what does means this may be it come on darling let's get going now just keep calm Kathy everything's going to be all right yes I'll send for you just as soon as I find out what's what probably tomorrow or the next day yes don't forget to bring my telegraph key when you come I won't think of this anything else I have something to say too yeah what is it you keep calm too me why shouldn't I keep calm I know it's been a long time you've been angry at me lots of times in the past two years and you've had all this on your mind please darling don't be angry at the secretary now I won't darling oh there we are goodbye I'll see you within the week in Washington I hope so Albert and God bless you don't worry darling he will now this is how it works Mr. Secretary let's pretend that this pen here on your desk is a four or five foot pole with a flag on top and the message sender holds it like this and it means a like this B and if you should I know Cap and I've read your memoranda oh you have let's get down to cases the Congress of the United States has seen fit to add one signal officer to our staff here why I don't know they've gotten on pretty well so far with that one yes but you don't understand I understand perfectly now then the act authorizes you the rank and pay of major if that's that it's factory yes sir for a start for a start well I have a lot of other ideas you don't say yes sir for instance I think this is Friday Major Mike you find a place over the weekend for you and your family to live well I hope so very well report back Monday morning and Sergeant McKelvin and the Chief of Staff's office will find space for you here good day and good luck thank you sir and this is your office Major Meyer this is my office sergeant yes sir well at least you'll have a nice view of Washington Monument if they ever get around to finishing it what about my staff what staff sir there's no room in here except for me you don't think I can coordinate signals throughout the whole United States Army without somebody to help me do you I'm sorry major but my orders mention no space for a staff now I see well did they even authorize me a chair to sit in oh yes sir here you are sir thank you sergeant is there anything else sir no nothing sergeant just tell them to resume work on Washington's Monument so I'll have something to look at Major Meyer reporting to the Secretary come in major come in have a chair sit down thank you sir if I may use the vernacular I am completely boxed in and something has to be done about it do you want me to talk to you as a friend major I'd appreciate it you probably disliked me from the way I treated you last week I liked you the minute you walked in the door but I didn't want you to get up any hopes when Congress created your job they made no provision for anybody to help you understand yes sir until Congress does make provision I can't do anything about it we never had a signal service on the staff so I presume Congress thinks we don't need one major I suggest you request to transfer back to the Medical Corps I want to be in signal sir signals I haven't had a chance to look over this latest report from the Agents in general let's see you know anything about Navajo Indians well I served in Texas not far away you know you can still stay here by an act of Congress I prefer the Navajos sir hey well I'll pass this information along your order should be ready about the day after tomorrow I saw Albert when we pulled into Washington terminal before he saw me I wondered why he was carrying a kid back Albert oh my darling hello Kathy is this your luggage Porta take these bags to the hack entrance but where are you going why are you in such a hurry you Mexico darling my train's leaving right now now you remember the address on Northwest Q Street front apartment on the second floor but the soaps are in the kitchen cabinet the towels are in the bath remember I love you goodbye you are listening to the proudly we hail production of profit with honor we'll return to our story in just a moment it shall not happen here that is the unspoken prayer of every man in the United States Army that is the unspoken reason for our growing military might but the time has come to speak the time has come to tell of that small phrase those five words it shall not happen here let us speak only to those young men of America who have not taken pause to think let's shout it in a voice that will reach into every city and village across the length and breadth of this great land young man you are needed you are needed to help preserve the peace you are needed to serve in your United States Army to ensure for your loved ones that it shall not happen here you are urged to visit your local United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station today and enlist in the United States Army the need is urgent do it today and now your army and your Air Force present the second act of the proudly we hail production profit with honor Albert only stayed in New Mexico a few months because shortly after he left there was an explosion it was the start of the war between the states as a result of our conference here in Washington tonight gentlemen I gather we're all agreed upon the need for organized signal services and the present emergency furthermore we seem agreed that the one man to handle it at this critical moment on the recommendation of the Secretary of War is a major Albert J. Meyer who is the only one up to now who was shown wholehearted interest in it I assume then that this body recommends his recall from General Canby's command in New Mexico to handle a job so Albert came back to me in Washington in the front door one moment out the back door the next good afternoon captain afternoon lieutenant afternoon well the last time I held a meeting in this office there was me and no one else I was a majority plurality and unanimous vote all rolled into one they didn't want a signal service as a separate defined unit in here they got along so far with a helter-skelter of different signal procedures in as many divisions as there are scattered from Maine to Texas so why change you know the saying in the Bible old men dream dreams young men see visions yes it all testament isn't I was a good guess lieutenants anyway I still consider myself as one of the young men with vision while I hate to take advantage of an all-out war to press a point I still think that signals are important enough to be considered as a separate branch along with combat and supply and that all the signal services from wig wagging to the telegraph to be coordinated along the line from the war department and West Point to the last squad in the last rank in the junction city home guards now that's my basic idea gentlemen do you agree I do sir yes sir well we three are probably the smallest military unit on the face of the earth at this point do we have anyone the outside office yet they gave us a stenographer this morning now there are four of us but don't you count our people in the field major you mean signal personnel in addition to other duties well yes captain I think the handling of communications is a full-sized job and deserves full-sized recognition as such particularly here in Washington our job is a big one and it's going to be bigger we need more qualified personnel than we have now that's why I want you captain to hit every post camp station division and brigade from New England to the Mississippi and set up signal schools set up schools that's a good chance to exercise your ingenuity isn't it yes but I know you're essentially a technician working with Samuel Morse and his telegraph but if you can master that you can master anything else now do you know anything about wig wagging wig wagging what's that for the name is my wife's the idea is mine it's a method of signal communication that I've developed I may sound silly but it sure saved a lot of lives when I was out in New Mexico recently I want every unit in this whole army to know the same code you'll have to teach me sir teach you I intend to make you thoroughly sick of the whole business before you're through oh and by the way yes sir while you're calling on all those camps and stations you might inquire about qualified telegraph operators wouldn't be a bad idea for the army to have a tactical system of its own what are you going to use to send it on oh I think I can find a little wire and how much five or ten thousand miles worth well now you're talking my language sir what about me sir where do I come into the picture well you're going to stay right here lieutenant you're going to be my standing your voice is my voice and as for me I'm going with the army of the Potomac I want to show them what a separate signal call can do heaven knows Albert was willing enough Albert was brave they wouldn't have made him a lieutenant colonel after the battles of Hanover courthouse and Malvern Hill if he hadn't been it was that five thousand miles of wire that did it one evening when he happened to be home from the front there was a knock at the door my husband answered it Colonel Meyer yes I'm Colonel Meyer what do you want I'm George Gillespie from the assistant secretary's office oh come in Mr. Gillespie I have some papers for you Colonel first about that five thousand mile communications network secretary thinks has been some mistake I understand your Gillespie with the military telegraph service that's right Colonel Mr. Gillespie the secretary and I have discussed this time and time again can't you understand that we're tactical in your purely administrative that's the same Colonel we're taking over your five thousand miles of wire these are the papers backing it up these what are these orders relieving you of your command Lieutenant Colonel Meyer Captain Riley Lieutenant Fulton the connoisseurs of the Mississippi River who engineered this I wouldn't know sir I'm just a clerk just a clerk dropping in to pay his chief's respects I suppose you might put it that way sir well I return the courtesy and you can tell the secretary that the captain the lieutenant myself have not received our orders as yet until we do we intend to keep a tight hold on the range as well as those 5,000 miles of wire good night sir sorry for whom Catherine those orders were official all right my copies will probably reach me in the morning I'm going west with you Albert no no no you aren't you're going to stay here and keep this house running because I will return Albert returned from the Mississippi Brigadier General no less of course it was only temporary a breved rank but those stars on his shoulders look good to me so long as he could wear them I was proud of my husband then shortly after the last shot of the war was fired Albert's perseverance began to pay dividends who do you think made personal recommendations to Congress none other than General Phillip Sheridan and General Ulysses S. Grant gentlemen if there's one thing that the war between the states taught us it's the need for a separate signal service on a par with all the other combat services and services of supply I'm not saying that we didn't have sufficient signal personnel but sometimes they reminded me of the sons and grandsons of Noah in the Old Testament they were all trying to do the same job to build a tower of Babel but there was a confusion of tongues many and many a time they weren't speaking the same language gentlemen the signal services must be coordinated under one command and the one to do it is Albert James Meyer with an adequate staff to do the job that has to be done Albert James Meyer with the authority invested in me I proclaim you the first chief signal officer of the United States Army Signal Corps may you meet the many challenges it offers and God bless you thank you General Sheridan the only ironic thing about it was that it dropped Albert back to Colonel again that's what the job called for but I was just as proud of him if not prouder he'd finally one out and I was especially happy about that one little phrase an adequate staff to do the job now he could relax a little or at least that's what I thought at the time it was the night of the hurricane Albert and I were invited out to dinner but a bad storm came out of nowhere the roads were flooded Albert stood at the window watching it I don't know why you keep saying Catherine that the storm came out of nowhere but storms don't come out of nowhere they have to start somewhere well this one certainly ruined tonight it gives me an idea what I have an idea oh no but no more ideas please it's been a long time it's been a hard time and I seem to recall those words in some place before when you were leaving for Washington the first time June the 26th 1860 if you're keeping a diary we have everything we need you've gotten where you want it to go if I could only sell some congressmen on this idea Albert don't worry darling this time it's going to be different our gentlemen we know from research carried on by the Smithsonian Institution before the war and before circumstances beyond their control limited their activities that they found out that storms follow pretty much of a pattern for a long good and bad weather comes from the northwest and southwest hurricanes from Florida blizzards from eastern and central Canada agreed therefore by the same token if we had known the night before last what the weather was in other places we could have anticipated the deluge that hit us here in Washington I have a suggestion to make the chief of the United States Army Signal Corps I have some 24 stations spread over the face of this country I have 5,000 miles of telegraph wire connecting them which incidentally I had to fight to get and fight to keep now why can't I give my personnel in each of these stations one small additional duty every day to report the weather in their own locality we could gather all the data here in Washington plot weather movements and granted your permission to establish a coordinating agency send where the forecast to every part of the United States we could even call it the United States Weather Bureau it turned out just the way Albert said it would it was different this time he started with those 24 signal core stations by the time he died in 1880 as a Brigadier General again I might add they were over a hundred you know when I think about that phrase he used to repeat your young men shall see visions I know now he was a young man until the day he died very aptly put Mrs. Meyer but a bit of an understatement Albert Meyer was the father of the Weather Bureau now under the Department of Agriculture the Bureau which forewarns farmers against floods and hurricanes as well as sailors against the storms out at sea he was primarily responsible too for our present streamlined system of signal core communications on a worldwide basis second to none the signal core his vision serves you and me in both peace and war today in the very shadows of the nation's capital there is a military post helping to guard our national future that post bears

Well, hi there. It's Sandy Allnock and today I'm going to talk about color harmony. I don't even know if I've mentioned color harmony before, but let's do that in terms of the Pantone colors of the year. This year it's colors plural. They usually just pick one, but this year they chose two colors, illuminating and ultimate gray. And you can see the history of all the colors they've chosen over the years on their website. They have full pages about each one of them. They have a rationale for why they chose it and how it's supposed to make you feel and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I will let you read all that on their website. There is a link to it in the doobly-doo. You could also get some swag. I've ordered a cup to put on my desk throughout the year and it should be here. If you want to see my cup, you can go to my blog and check that out after you watch this. But the palette explorations tab is the one that I want to pay attention to today. They put out these palettes and it's groupings of color they recommend to use with the color of the year. And off to the right they have those little bars that are color harmonies. They give you a suggestion for using a little bit of this, a tiny bit of that, more of this and then oh wow use a lot of that. Notice they don't have six colors in all of those. So they don't necessarily recommend that you use all six in whatever you're doing. And these are intended not just for artists, of course. They're intended for people who do things in print. They're intended for people who do fabrics and fashion and household items and on and on and on. So that's why they give a whole wide variety of ways you can use these colors. So I took this into Copicland and I chose colors to match as best I could the colors that I saw on the screen. Now it's hard to match those because you have on the screen you have light coming through and on paper you don't have that and it's really hard to get a total apples to apples. And even with this gray I found that I was struggling picking which gray to use because if you end up using multiple layers of a color even if just one swipe of it is a perfect match multiple layers is going to make it darker. However just going to say none of the colors on this page matter. If you have a yellow and a gray and a blue or what you know something that's close to what you see on the screen that's good enough. Nothing has to be perfect perfect. It's just always fun to try to do some color matching and test myself to see if I can find things that match. And I was tickled to find that some of them I would look at that color and I knew exactly which marker to pick and then it worked out. It was as close as I could get. So that was a fun thing to learn about myself how well I know my markers. But I'm just going to run around and color all of these in. You can download this and color it in yourself. I also have a blank page so you can print out either the blank or the one with the numbers in it because if you have different markers or a different you know different set of markers you don't have all these colors you can put in your own colors based on you know something similar and then write your own numbers in. You could also use this to do colored pencil. I'm probably not going to do a colored pencil exploration of this like I did last year. I may do a little bit more with the gray and the yellow throughout the year but not necessarily go through this chart so don't wait for that one. But you could use the blank one to come up with your own colors that match if you would like to do that. The way that I choose to use these color palette explorations is to challenge myself to use different colors. I tend to have my go-to colors the ones that I like that I use a lot and it's fun to try to make myself step out of my comfort zone and choosing one of these selections and deciding that I'm going to use those colors today can shake up the way I think about my art. It can shake up the way I color something. I might decide all of a sudden I'm going to make a pink sky and it's going to be the most beautiful thing in the world because I was forced to choose pink. So the colors down here in the bottom by the way this orbital this one in the little pictures on the screen has multiple colors in it. They look almost glittery or like a shimmery fabric. I chose a color that was kind of average from those because there's dark and lights in there. But that's why that's why those colors are a little funky looking. It's not my favorite combination which probably tells me sometimes I should choose something from that combination. Well let's get on to an example a real life example and this three room studio stamp has a chair and an ottoman and it has enough little parts in it. I thought maybe I could get all six colors into some cards and see if I could do that. So I've airbrushed the backgrounds of four cards. You just see two of them here and this is the yellow versus the gray. And even in this already you can see the difference between the mood of the piece based on whether the yellow is the dominant color in a large amount versus the gray in a large amount. So in the second one here I'm reversing those just to see what happens to the colors in it. I'm going to use all the other same colors on the rest of the picture. Just reversing the yellow and the gray and see what happens. That's the difference that color can make is how much of it you use in whatever the piece of artwork is and what is it that's going to create a pop of color. So sometimes it's putting a lot of neutrals around a color that's really bright. Sometimes it's putting dark colors around something that's bright and sometimes it's a combination of both. But until you try it you won't know that. And that's why sometimes I'll just stamp something several times. If I'm making cards I'll stamp it a whole bunch of times and try different combinations just to see what I like better. Each one may have something very different that is interesting about it and it really depends on what you want to highlight in the picture itself. In the picture on the left the chair is the most important part because it is clearly the brightest most intense thing. On the the card on the right hand side the person is going to get more attention because that color on the the socks and the outfit are much stronger than the color in the chair and in the background. So it depends on what you want to put the focus on if you want the person to be the thing that stands out the most the colors you put around it are going to be what's going to make the difference. And you can try this exercise with all those different color ways as well. All those different palettes just play with them and use them in reverse order from each other just to see what happens. The green color on this particular thing I used in the mug that she's holding in the polka dots and in the shadow underneath of the chair. So I used all the colors except for the tan in this particular card. I used other browns for her skin because it didn't quite work. So here's the finished card and you can see that the yellow is hugely dominant because of its size. The chair becomes a tertiary element because that carpet is so dominant as well but the color that pops is going to be that pink against the yellow and she is more important but in this other one the gray since it is such a receding color it's not jumping out at you and it's got that carpet that's nice and dark too. The chair is the thing that becomes the most important and it stands out the most and she is much more subdued because she's more similar to the background. So the feeling you get from both cards is completely different and I want to show you two others that I made as well trying other explorations with the same palette. You know there's that brown color so I airbrushed the brown into the background used the gray for the carpet and that neutralized it quite a bit and the chair itself is the navy blue color and for the ribbing in the corduroy on it I used a white pen and then just went over top of it in order to create the what looks like blue stripes that way and I made her in yellow her clothing is in yellow which is really close to that tan color so she does not pop out all that much because it's so close to it but look what happens when I take the the dark red red pink color and airbrush the top portion of it so I ended up with two tones of that color and then her yellow comes screaming out of the picture because everything else is darker and duller and she she is the lightest thing in the picture. So hopefully you can see from these examples how different a piece of artwork can be based on how much of each one of the colors you choose to use as well as the placement and the relationship between where those colors are in the picture. So over on my blog I'm going to have the chart that you can download as well as still pictures of those four cards so you can see the differences between them and study them a little more to understand more of the differences between each one of the color ways and how it expressed itself in that particular picture. I will see you again very soon here on YouTube. Take care and go make something beautiful maybe in yellow and gray.


K what happened? I don't care What do you understand? Wait you don't care? I don't care about what?  About what?  What are you talking about them? That's you you're them. Yeah, it's your real estate business Yeah, but am I or are you?  K am I am I calm what yeah, you're you Prove it. Okay. Can I see your ID? I don't have one.  How about that?  I have it right here.  Well, I don't know if that's wise because I have my command review here Josh you got a gun, huh? Oh, had a Johnson. Let's go. We should look the previous. Oh, yeah, I have my command review right now I know where they are Yeah, absolutely I'm gonna shoot me. I don't even feel pretty.  Okay, unless I have to But here at mr. K. I'll talk to you later. Best of luck.  Oh, well, no god damn well, he was talking about something else Yeah, I got to talk to Captain Turner, but okay. I'll talk to you later. Maisie Had a Captain Turner Given the captain's office The Turks out of y'all. Howdy. Where's captain slacks here soon enough? Supposed to become on me to bring you in here. Not sure how they got lost. Y'all have a good weekend It was busy, how about you?  So it was very enlightening experience for me Gluts you back inside the show pity. All right. So how we're gonna kind of do this We're gonna go through different incidents that have been regarding you We're gonna kind of give you a summary of what it was and kind of get your side of it Just gotta go through a situation by situation. Oh, it's a rat. It's over corn's getting fired Clues you lose weight. No, I did not lose weight. This is supposed to be a civil situation Okay, we don't need insult people. You think my stature don't demand respect I know I never said that I'm just saying the walking around a lot. He just has been very helpful for you I can see it. I can see the results all the weekend. Yeah, okay. All right I got it now. This was an incident back when you were first hired to the PD There was a bunch of concerns that were brought to high commands about you pointing a gun at a downed individual Hospital staff accused you of shooting people running away from the hospital Tried to charge people for getting stabbed for running into knives And you told happy the clown to take justice into his own hands in which he did so and stabbed somebody Did I do that? The repeated times of calling your shots sheriff when you were warned not to Holding tasers at individuals when we tried to go over the use of force You did not understand it and had not really known the current SOPs at the time when you were asked It was also reported you were telling the public that cops on the force do not how to know how to police So in this situation, you were given three daps You had your firearms taken until you were retrained and you had to patrol with captain sex like captain Ruth has stated this is complying all corners incidents to be discussed the panel That's all that's the whole purpose behind it Not because we're trying to use against you we small showing you how everything gonna started as far as from day one Until now and obviously some of them will show improvement and some of them will show that you know There's no proving as a pattern. I'll tell you that was one of the first days. I was back in the city I went outside the hospital people are injured and yet a bunch of local EMS They were running around the front and any time somebody would breathe or look at some of the wrong way You'd have a damn horde of dozen EMS run around charging at people I stood by it then I stand by it now the most effective way in the safest way for me to actually protect people in That situation was to do what I did and to shoot those locals that were going crazy on the civilians of the city the tons are inhumane and You can take out about six folks at the same time and I didn't want to hurt nobody Okay, I've grown from that a whole situation. I Just wait until I get shot before I shoot somebody Right moving on you want to shoot through a hostage just shoot a suspect James Randall But during the mayor of debate you went undercover without permission or communication With the rest of PD you used your authority as a police officer while undercover without PD identification Dude, dude, they're making this as hard as possible and not triple report. It did just triple No, more than triple figure it was You handcuffed multiple people during this as well without even asking them to leave or without any marked units in the area You're issued three daps and suspended actions on becoming of a police officer misuse of authority Is there anything we talk about as far as that arm? I mean that to me that was just one of them things where you know We didn't have anything you see that we are not supposed to be on duty with our civilian clothes There's a specific instance where you've been approved for it by a captain. Oh It's so hard not to just be cornwood They're making me minus one Let me be corn one I Can't make any of the jokes I want to make it's driving me nuts Anybody have any other questions regarding that? All right move into report 1447 All right on to the officer night situation where he accidentally discharged a firearm into a suspect when he was attempting to taste after the Situation yourself in Sultan treated the situation without any seriousness and that's not stated as a joke It was suggested for night to say he heard of the suspect to commit adoption fraud night refused And included that in his statement to which you insulted Stated that what night did was worse and he should rethink his statement He said that we were no he said that we were falsifying evidence to stick adoption fraud on somebody okay, so I'll tell you all exactly what happened We're going we're on a foot bail chasing this suspect. He's running away Brian not pulls out a gun instead of a taser fires Adam.   It's like losing his mind because he's about 12 hours in to a situation You know we end up going back I end up getting the process and late because we're trying to make sure that the suspect was good first Aziz then walks in from talking to him and Aziz says hey this guy just committed adoption fraud.  He's like oh this guy's my dad this guy's whatever I can't remember right but it was it basically fit the adoption fraud charge Aziz and I joke about the commission on the charge which is something that has happened for years even recently even during PD meetings People have joked about commission on charges like obviously. We're not gonna falsely charge somebody for commission I mean literally I'm here doing push-ups and Aziz is sitting on my back Like it couldn't it couldn't have been more clear as day that Aziz and I were joking So I don't know how like the degree of social ineptitude that you have to have to not understand that that's a joke in that situation Given the context given the push-ups given the sitting. Yes, we joked about the commission But we did not falsify evidence.  I was insulted that night. Okay. Let's go on to the next one. Sorry this one Yeah, this one I shouldn't have done after a suspect was called down cornwood reloaded and emptied a magazine in the image Oh, who's laying on the ground in capacity when what took was then told a second time to stop shooting in which he Reloaded and fired another bullet the suspect died of a GSW to the head in his statement in the report The last bullet was for Sam Bass when questioned on it initially he verbally stated to McNulty and slacks He was crawling. Yeah, but I unloaded two magazines into him called suspect down and gave him one more But I shouldn't have done that when he said you should have done that Can you love it? What is it you should have done then in that particular incident? Not shot After I called suspect down and I determined that he was down Anybody have any other not related to incident just overall questions? Obviously, as you know recently, there's been a lot of talks about the PD as far as changes as far as what's been happening And I know that you know, there's some things you don't agree with clutus as far as what's been happening And we don't understand that we don't expect everybody in the police department to agree to what every single captain is saying But it's a matter of respect and it's a matter of just being the same page The issue I have as far as trying to talk to you about this is are you going to other people about our problems that we could discuss Internally and trying to fix them internally or are you going to other people about problems and finding different ways to fix them? without talking to the captain's I So one without talking to captains No, absolutely not. These are all problems that a brand brought up internally It seems like it finds them to go through the chain of command where things can actually get addressed When people hear that they feel like they're being blown off because the chain of command I'm just being honest with you if they feel like go up through the chain of command what happens It's a game of telephone and the more the more times you're calling somebody else Well, I do respect the chain of command the more different people that you're calling the more the story changes And how is the conversation going if they come up to you say hey, there's what's going on What is it your own? Depends on what they're asking about the mayor say that multiple officers have come to him Complaining about problems in the PD these issues I are you bringing them outside the PD when you're just not getting the answer you like within the PD no not necessarily it's It's beyond not getting the answer you like it's there's people that are severely distressed We have we have major problems. This isn't like an asked and answered sort of thing. We don't got money We don't got funding. I've put a hundred seventy thousand dollars out of my own pocket into this I've brought these issues to Nicota. I've referenced Nicota in every single meeting. He's our PD liaison I have you know the mayor calling me saying how come Nicota never brings anything up in a meeting All right, anybody have anything else? I don't think so not this time.  All right. I'll speak all the way there Just be all Y'all the answer and a result within 24 hours sure thing our cord you take care. All right. We'll see you captain Turner Hey, it's good seeing you again. Appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely It's the title There you go. Oh I'm not on me.  How did Dan was going on Bella.    The PD is in a different world in the rest of the city We just live in a different world in the rest of this place, don't yeah Something's gonna get shot in there because you had your presentation Saturday. So how did I go? I was asked to hold off on it as I believe I should have held off on it. What happened howdy They said they'll let me know in 24 hours. What? Yeah, they said 24 hours 24 hours for what I don't know.  I haven't they had it so long to evaluate it already Yeah, but I guess they have to evaluate the conversation that I had We'll see what happens. I it's gonna get better before it gets worse. That's that's how it's looking


This paper proposes a new approach to detect the predisease state of complex diseases using a single sample. The authors propose a novel index called Single Sample Culbac Libre Divergence, SKLD, to measure the disturbance caused by a case sample on the background. This index can be used to identify the critical state or tipping point of a biological system. The authors tested their method on several different types of cancer and found that it successfully identified the predisease state of these diseases. Furthermore, they also provided a set of SKLD signalling markers that could be used for further practical applications. This article was authored by J. U. N. Zhong, Rui Liu, and Pei Chen.
