Adventures by Morse. Carlton E. Morse presents The City of the Dead, featuring Captain Friday. If you like high adventure, come with me. If you like the stealth of intrigue, come with me. If you like blood and thunder, come with me. Eight o'clock on the third night in the City of the Dead. In the afternoon of the second day in the old abandoned cemetery, Captain Friday had locked Jimmy Parker and Phyllis Carroll together, and had taken his father, the mayor, and old Dr. Tuner to Lammie Fink's cabin on the edge of the cemetery. They had found three bodies in the cellar. One was the strangled body found in old Ernie Morton's grave. The second was the body of the man whom the claw-footed phantom had killed at the back of the mayor's cottage. The third was Lammie Fink. According to Captain Friday, he'd been scared to death. That's right. And while we were in the cellar examining the bodies, the cabin mysteriously burst into flames, and we barely escaped with our lives. The bodies were completely consumed. After this experience, the old mayor, my father, complained of being tired, and returned to his cottage inside the gates of the City of the Dead. Dr. Tuner and I went down to the deserted ruins of a church for the phantom church bell. In the musty rectory where the bell-ringer had hanged himself ten years before, we found old claw-foot, amusing himself with a human skeleton. But the queer creature with flowing beard and flowing robes got away from us. Returning to the caretaker's cottage, we found my dad upset, and Phyllis Carroll with a stab wound in her back just under the shoulder blade. Jimmy Parker had been locked in the room with a girl at the time, but he denied the deed. Then Phyllis regained consciousness and sobbed out, oh, Jimmy, why did you stab me? That was at two in the afternoon. Now at eight in the evening, Dr. Tuner is with his patient. Dr. Tuner, am I going to die? I reckon you aren't even going to be very sick, Miss Carroll. Just lost a mind of blood, and the wound won't even leave its car. Feel much better after a little sleep, don't you? I've been asleep? Sure you have. Here, let me fix that pillow. Lie on your left side just a little.   I must look terrible. I've been crying so much, but... Not a bit of it. You look like a young girl should look. Oh, Dr. Tuner, what would make Jimmy do a thing like that? Oh, no, you'd better let Captain Friday figure that out. That's his business. By the way, he wants to bring Parker in here as soon as you feel like it. Oh, no, please. I can't face Jimmy after... I reckon that'll be necessary, Miss Carroll. Do I have to see him? Can't be helped, I'm afraid. Well, all right then. Good.  Captain Friday and his father have Parker in his room giving him a go-and-over. I'll just call him. Yeah, Captain. That's you, Dr. Miss Carroll's ready to see you next door. Good. Come on out, fella. Come on, Mayor. I'd rather not see fellas tonight. You know, what you want hasn't got anything to do with it. Go on in there and sit down. Okay. Have it your way, then. No. I want you facing the girl, sitting in that straight chair. Yeah, if I didn't know when there's going to be all this rumpers, I'd have said take him to the city and lock him up from the first. Never mind, Mayor. We'll get things straightened out for you in the city of the dead. I know the reason why. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, Parker? No, I'm not.  Oh, Jimmy. You look here. I didn't stab Phyllis. How many times do I have to tell you? Miss Carroll says you did. Well, I didn't. You said he did, didn't you, Miss Carroll? Yes. You see, Parker? I'd like to hear her tell how I did it. I haven't any objection to that. Miss Carroll, do you mind? How could you, Jimmy? And all the time I thought it was you and me against everyone. Phyllis, how can you even say that? Never mind, Parker. Tell your story, Miss Carroll. Well, we were talking... Tell us what you were talking about. I wanted to tell you everything we know about all of it. I wanted to take a chance that you would help us out of a bad situation. Jimmy said no. He said that we... Go on. He said the circumstantial evidence was too strong against us. That we might... You might what? We might be found guilty of murder by our own words. Oh, I see. And you wanted to take a chance and tell anyway. Yes. I thought if we told everything now, we'd have a better chance than if we waited for you to find out for yourself. Good deduction, Miss Carroll. Well, then what happened? Well, we talked and talked. And then I got angry. I turned my back and walked toward the door. Then, Miss Carroll? And then Jimmy stabbed me and I fainted. No. No, Phyllis. No, I didn't. But it must have been you, Jimmy. We were locked in the room alone. It had to be. Just a minute. Miss Carroll, is that your only reason for believing Parker stabbed you? Why, yes. Did you see a knife in the room previous to the attack? No.  No. Did he say anything just before you fainted? Why, no. Of course not. Then all you know is that you were stabbed while locked in the room with Parker and for that reason you supposed it was he that had done it. But how could it have been anyone else? Didn't you ever hear of a knife throw on Miss Carroll? You mean... You mean somebody threw a knife at me from the window? Why not? It wouldn't have been the first knife tossed through a window. Well, then it wasn't, Jimmy. Then you didn't. Oh, Jimmy, I'm so ashamed. Phyll, I didn't do it. Honestly, I didn't. Why, of course not. I know you didn't. Oh, Jimmy, can you ever forgive me? Of course, Phil. It's all right. Here, take my handkerchief.  Forget it. But I've been so miserable. Oh, Jimmy, I felt so bad I could die. It made me sick, Phil, when I found out you thought I'd done it. I just couldn't believe it. Oh, I didn't want to think it, Jimmy. Well, I didn't see any other way out. All right now, Parker, come on back to your chair. Your hands aren't clean in this business yet. Of course he's innocent. It's silly even to think of it anymore. Silly, huh? Well, listen to what the mayor has to say on the subject.  Don't want to be dragged on murder trials. Come on, Dan. Don't get temperamental. Don't sass me, young fella. Care if you're already detective. Use my son first. Look, Mayor, do you want this business cleaned up or don't you? I was coming up on the porch after returning from Lamy Fink's cabin, where I left you folks. Yes? Heard a scream. Girls' voice? Naturally. Seein' how does Miss Carol. All right, then what? Well, I ran into the house and unlocked the door with him. Two youngsters had been locked up. Yes? And there was this fella, Parker, standing over the girl with both his hands bloody. And he was holding the knife. Well, what of it? Naturally, my hands would be bloody from pulling the knife out of Phyllis' shoulder, wouldn't they? That sounds pretty thin. Why wasn't you doing something for the girl instead of just standing over her with the knife in your hand? Well, I was... I was so stunned by what had happened, I... I didn't know what I was doing. It looked mighty funny to me. Well, I can tell you some other things that looked mighty funny too. Why did you lock Phyllis and me up the first night? Where were you last night when old Clawfoot was roaming around? Why did Dr. Tuna here say you didn't have a telephone the first night we came? There's plenty for you, Phyllis, to explain to if you ask me. Captain, take that kid out of here. Take him out. Out, Dad. Take him away, I say. Lock him up down at the city. Do anything you got of mine to. But get him out of my house. You all fired presumption of kids in this day and age. Now, look here, Mary. You haven't any call to be belligerent. You've been picking on him all evening. Hicking on him? Hicking on him? He's guilty, ain't he? I'm not so certain myself, Mayor. Well, I am. After all, Mayor, you haven't explained to us where you were while the Phantom was murdering that fellow at the back of the house last night? I don't reckon I'm beholden to any of you. I'm Mayor of the city of the dead. And if I take it on myself to go down into the city among my citizens, it ain't anybody's business but my own. Of course not, Dad. Now, let's just forget all this quarreling and see if we can't untangle some of these threats. I'm agreeable, Captain. In the two days I've been here, one thing stands out. There's some force at work in the city of the dead. What do you mean, force? Some group of groups of people acting in their own interests down among the graves. And I'd just like to lay my hands on them. Yeah, I am. Well, there are three possible places from which this force may originate. Three? Yes, Dr. Tuner, three. First, there's this cloth foot Phantom of ours.  Didn't we see him kill the fellow at my window? He killed him all right. What we don't know, however, is whether or not he's the force working against us. If he is against us, why did he attack the man who was trying to break in and disturb us? But, Jasper, Captain, you mean cloth foot's working with us and against the enemy? I don't know. Now then, the second source of this dangerous force may originate outside the city of the dead. Yes. That's it. That's it. It's an outside force that wants something here in the city of the dead and is willing to murder every one of us to get it. Wait. I'm pretty sure of it. Why? Well, why don't know I? I just think so. No, never mind now. That'll keep. Let's get back to the original question, the source of our danger. I've named two cloth foot and an outside gang. I suppose I don't have to tell you the third source from which this force may be emanating. Well, I reckon you'd better. I don't follow you, Captain. Yes. Go on, son. Quit your intimating and come out straight. I see you get what I mean anyway, Dad. All right, here it is. There's a fine chance that this malignant force where fighting originates right in this little group. You mean someone here is a murderer? It's quite possible. Of course, Feathers. Why do you say that, Parker? Well, if you're trying to put the blame for all this business on Phyllis and me, you're out of luck, that's all. What do you think I was accusing you? There are others in the room. Well, you wouldn't be likely to accuse your own father of a murder. No. And you've known Dr. Tuner all your life. Closing I have. And that leaves only Phyllis and me. You can easily remove yourselves from the suspected group. How? Talk. How do you know it wouldn't put us in deeper than ever? Oh, Jimmy, no, it won't. Captain Friday will understand. We ought to tell. Honestly, we should. I don't think so. Don't be stubborn, Jimmy. Please let me tell. I don't like it. Please, Jimmy, please. Can't keep a thing, can you? Jimmy, you know better than that. You know I'll never say a word until you give me permission. But it's the same as... I'll go ahead and tell it after all it's your story.  I've thought and thought about it. And any way I look at it, we'd be better off than we are now. You know what would happen to us if they found us guilty. But they couldn't do that. I know they could. How do you know what a jury would do? Very well, Jimmy. That's how you feel. Oh, go ahead and tell the whole thing. Maybe I'm all wet. It doesn't make much difference anyway. They're bound to find out if they keep looking. That's right, Miss Carol. We're bound to find out. Oh, I don't know what to say now. Supposing I get us into a... into a lot of trouble. Well, go ahead, Phil. Anyway, we're in up to our neck as it is. Well, please, could I have a glass of water first? Of course you can. Shoulder hurting you? Not too much. Just a numbing. Here's a glass. Thank you. Now, we're ready when you are, Miss Carol. Well, I guess I should tell you first that I've known Jimmy Parker since I was six years old. He lived right across the street from me for 10 years. You should know each other pretty well. Oh, yes. We went to grammar school together and then to high school. In his senior year, his folks moved back east and Jimmy went with them. I didn't see him for a year then until he came back out here to attend the University of California. That explains how he happens to be living in a hotel. Yes. Well, now that you know about Jimmy and me, I guess I'd better go still further back to my grandfather, my mother's folks. His name was Dr. Theodore Beverly, and he was... What? What did you say? Well, I said my grandfather was Dr. Theodore Beverly. Well, I swan, you hear that, Mayor? You mean Ted Beverly?  Oh, yes. Yes, do you know him, Mayor Friday? What are you doing down here in the city of the dead? Why? I said, what are you doing down here? Captain, Captain Knees Young is erupting no good. No good, do you hear me? Packed thieves and cutthroats, that's what they are. If you just told your horses, Mayor, you'd hear the reason why Phyllis and Jimmy are down here. Or would you? Are they, after all, the thieves and cutthroats the old caretaker wants us to believe? Personally, I have my doubts, but we'll know better in just a minute. Hold on, Dad. Give Miss Carol a chance. I don't like it. I don't want her down here. I don't want her and her nobody else. Never mind that, Mayor. Now go ahead, Miss Carol. Well, before the 1906 fire in earthquake, my grandfather was a very wealthy man. He had a beautiful home on Van Ness Avenue with lawns and shrubbery and servants and... Oh, just everything, I guess. You're right there, Miss Carol. I've seen your grandfather's place and it did have everything. All this part is just hearsay to me, you know. It was all over before I was born. Well, anyway, I learned just lately that grandfather Beverly had a yen for collecting black pearls. Yeah. Listen to that, Doc. You hear what she says? Black pearls. Yeah, I can hear it all right, Mayor. Yes, black pearls. Before the fire, he had one of the finest collections in the world. It was worth about a half a million dollars. That's a lot of money, Miss Carol. It wasn't for my grandfather, Captain Prowdy. He was very wealthy.  He never quite recovered from the shock. What happened to him? Oh, he lived for a long time after that. I remember him when I was a very small child. He was austere and gruff, and he walked with a kind of stoop. He always acted as though he had something awfully important on his mind. Yeah, I remember that characteristic. He used to have the habit of staring right through, folks. Give a person a creep. Yes, well, what finally became of him? He was drowned. At least he disappeared and about a week later, a body was taken from the waterfront and the police identified it as my grandfather. But mother was never sure. Wasn't sure? No. She kept looking for him for two years. It was no use. The body was finally buried out here in the city of the dead and things settled down to normal again. Your grandfather left you and your mother quite wealthy, I take it. Oh, no. Hardly anything. Only a little insurance. Well, what became of his business? All his money? I don't know very much about it. I was too little to understand while he was alive and everyone's awfully vague about it now, but everything seemed to meld away without him to handle it. That might easily happen to a man's business, Miss Carol, but it couldn't happen to anything as substantial as a half a million dollars' worth of pearls. What became of them? We never knew until quite recently. Then you know now? Well, we... I... Well, answer, answer. What's the matter with your tongue, young woman? Look here, you don't have to talk to her like that. Mind your own business, Parker. See, what's the matter with you anyway, Mayor?  I reckon your Mayor's just a mite interested in Miss Carol's story, that's all. I've got a mighty funny way of showing it. Now then, if everyone has had his say, we'll go on. Miss Carol, you do know where the black pearls are now. Well... Well, I know what became of them. Who told you? What? Well, no one told me. Then how did you find out? Is that the reason you're down here in the city of the dead? Yes, Miss Carol, how did you find out about the black pearls at this late date? I had a birthday the 6th of last month. It was my 20th. Yes? On my birthday, I received a little package from Cartwright Hobson and Cartwright, the lawyers in the city, you know. And in the package was a letter from the firm saying that they were delivering a sealed package given them on the date of my birth, by my grandfather. Yes? Were the pearls in the package, Miss Carol? Well, I know, Mayor Friday. It was much too small for that. It was just a big letter of instructions. Instructions for what? Telling where the black pearls actually were. Oh, I see. Oh, I was awfully excited. I called Jimmy at his hotel over in Berkeley and had him come over right away. Just how many persons did you let in on your secret? I didn't tell anyone but Jimmy. What about your mother? No, not even her. I wanted to keep it from her until I could be sure it was true. So Parker here was the only one you can fight it in? Yes. Well, what did your grandfather's letter say? It said that this letter was written to protect my future in case of his... my grandfather's death before I reached the age of 20. It said that my mother was his favorite relative and that he'd always intended that the collection of black pearls should go to her first child. That's you? Yes. I was the only child born to my mother. How many children were there in your grandfather's family? Three. Two boys and my mother. Are they living? Uncle Robert may be alive. He disappeared after grandfather's death and we haven't heard from him since. Uncle Franklin and his wife are both dead. Did they leave any children? Yes. One son. What's his name? Bert Arnold. Where is he now? What? Listen, the only known living relative that might dispute her ownership of the black pearls? That's what I said. No wonder you didn't want to tell. The three of you down here in the city of the dead alone at night, one of the three found strangled in an old grave, another of you with fresh blisters on your hands, and the motive, a half a million dollars worth of black pearls. You see, Phyllis, it's just as I said, try to make a detective see light with all that evidence against us. Oh, but Captain Friday, we didn't do it. We didn't. What could your cousin have wanted in the city of the dead? Well, I suppose he came for the same reason we did. And what was that? To find the black pearls. In the city of the dead? Yes. Where? Phyll, don't tell him. That isn't necessary. I'll let that go for now. But look here, son. I think you ought to make him tell where those pearls are hidden. I thought so. I'll bet you've known about them all along. That's why you're so anxious to keep everyone out of the city of the dead so you could hunt for them by yourselves, you and the doc. No, no.  I'm sitting on the sideline. Captain, if you don't make that young and stop accusing me of things, I'm going to lambast him. Leave the mayor alone, Parker. No. He's started. Never mind. Now, Miss Carol, did you bring Bert Arnold down here with you the night he was murdered? Well, I don't know what night he was murdered.  No. Now I'll put it this way. Did you bring him down to the city of the dead with you the night Parker's car was stolen? No. Did you know he was down here that he was coming down? No. Honestly, we didn't. Now then, you say the black pearls are buried here in the city of the dead. Yes. Oh, no. That was a rotten thing to do. Let the pearls alone. They belong to Miss Carol. Well, well. So the pearls are buried in one of the graves in the city of the dead. She didn't say that. She didn't need to. Now, one of the city of the dead has come alive by night. I wonder how many people in the world know about this? Well, probably a very few, Captain. The whole city of the dead had been dug up and redugged by now. Half a million dollars ain't to be sneezed at. Those pearls belong to Miss Carol no matter who finds them. That can they belong to the one who has them. Well, Mayor Friday, if you want the lowest old car here. Quiet, Parker. Miss Carol, that letter of instructions from the law firm. Where is it? What? We burned it. That's a lie, Parker. Prove it. You'll be glad enough to bring it out when you go before a jury for murder. You don't think I killed Bert Arnold? You know you don't. And what's more, you don't think I stabbed Phyllis? You'd be surprised what I think. Do you know of anyone else who might have reason to stab her? There's somebody else mighty anxious not to have her tell what she knows about those pearls. Who? If I knew, there wouldn't be any mystery. By the way, Mayor Friday couldn't throw a knife, could he? Why are you, young whippersnapper? Hold it, Dad. That's enough out of you, Parker. Go on into your room. But what about Phyllis? Never mind about her. You get into your room before you get yourself in more trouble. Afraid to look into your own father's actions too closely? Is that it, Captain?  Okay, okay. Never mind the strong-arm stuff. Dad, I want to talk to you and Doc Tune around in the kitchen. Miss Carol, you'll be all right here for a few minutes. Yes, I'll be all right, I guess. Well, if you feel uneasy or need anything, you just sing out. Come on, Dad, in the kitchen. Yeah, what for? What's this all about? I think you know. Close door, Doc. You and Doc Tune have got to face it. Let's get it over with. You think I was your prisoner instead of your father? Now then, Dad, what's it all about? Huh? What's what all about? Come on, come on. Why all this mystery with me? Don't know what you're talking about. Oh, yes, you do. You know plenty. And if it's on the level, why can't you trust me? Ain't nothing to trust you with. You and Doc Tune here have known about those black pearls all along. I knew Doc was making a mistake when he confided in you. Oh, you did, did you? Don't you suppose I know why you haven't been down in the city of the dead to look for graves that might have been tampered with? I wouldn't stick my nose in where I didn't want it if I was you, son.  You, with your talk about being mayor of the city of the dead and aiming to see that none of your sleeping citizens will be disturbed. No, no, Captain.  Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? You ain't got no right to talk to your father like this, Captain. I suppose you both know you could be sent up for the rest of your natural lives for this? I don't reckon you'd do a thing like that, Captain Freddy. I ought to. Captain, you're hurting your father mighty deep, talking that way. Well, what's he doing it for? Good heavens, man. He's got a trust here. He was put here to see that these sacred mounds of earth were not violated. And what has he done? Broken faith. Opened the graves himself. I reckon you see now, Doc Tuner, why I didn't want to bring nobody else into the city of the dead.  Why should I? Well, after all, he's your father. Of course, I know you didn't have any part in the things young Parker keeps hinting at. Thanks. Grave robbing is bad enough in itself without adding murder to it. I reckon, son, if that's all you got to say, I'll be turning in. Now, listen here, Dad, there's something more behind all this. You aren't disturbing the dead just for those pearls. There is something else, isn't there? I reckon your head is lined up about right at the beginning, son. Doc and me are just a pair of skunks. Look here, Doc. I reckon your dad is right, Captain. Ain't no more used to discuss this. That's Miss Carol. Something's happened. Come on, you two. Miss Carol, what is it? What's the matter? Oh, look! Look there by the door! Well, I'll be a son of a gun. Look, Doc, a visitor. A skeleton. Captain, what's that thing doing here? Where did it come from, Miss Carol? Miss Carol, I don't reckon a skeleton can hurt you much. Supposing you tell us how it got there so we can do something about it. Well, the door just suddenly opened and the skeleton walked in and collapsed on the floor. And then the door was full closed. You're going to have a skeleton to do that if you ask me. Hey, Doc, come here and look at this. What in the name of Sam Hill are you doing to it, Captain? Look, the bones are joined together with pieces of wire. Now, what sort of monkey business is this? Here, look. A message tied about its neck. A message? What is it saying? It says, I have come to you out of the grave marked Theodore Beverly. But I do not belong in his grave. I am not his skeleton. Theodore Beverly? Why, that's Miss Carol's grandfather. My grandfather? Trevor, Doc, she's fainted. Now, the very skeletons in the city of the dead are coming up out of their graves to identify themselves. But what does the message mean? I am out of the grave marked Theodore Beverly. But I am not his skeleton. And what is all this to do with the phantom church bell and old clothwood? Many of these things will be revealed to you next week when you hear Episode 6 of Carltony Morse's City of the Dead entitled, The Ghoul in the Grave.


This is Chris Pike. My friends call me Bigsy back in action back in the saddle today I want to use heartbeat moments to show you a video about long-length Partials now you're probably going what in the heck is that Bigsy and yes as a guy who is out of shape and wants to Get back into shape and I want to get stronger and I want to get stronger as quickly as possible This video it sort of resonated with me and if you're someone that wants to get strong and fit and all those types of things You're gonna want to watch this because Jeff Nippard who's been doing this for years and he is not only a Natural bodybuilder, but I mean the guy looks the part He also brings in science into his training and in this video He's gonna talk about long-length partials and how using these can make you stronger faster. So join me in this I'm gonna give you the best moments using heartbeat. Let's go alright So for those of you that are following along feel free to join me at h.ki And you'll see here when you go to my when I go to my heartbeat on the left here and I click on moments I've got 11 or 12 moments from this video that I want to show you now This video has a lot of the the good stuff is sort of jam packed at the beginning So here we go I'm gonna click on the first one and I'm gonna let it run for about 30 seconds so you can see what he's talking about Here we go out of all the intensity techniques in the world one has by far the most science behind it And it's not drop sets. It's not forced reps or supersets or cheat reps It's actually a technique called long-length partials Yep, and a lot of new evidence suggests that not only do long-length partials beat out all those other techniques They may also be even better than a standard full range of motion. That's what yeah So this was the first two moments actually combined there long-length partials He's gonna show you what it is. But essentially a guy like me who used to train in the gym a lot I used to do lots of forced reps and supersets and all these crazy techniques and Yeah, this one looks like it's got the best scientific backing. Let's go ahead Skip forward a few seconds and he'll show you exactly what these are. What exactly are long-length partials? Well, they're pretty simple. Let's say you're doing a bicep curl A full range of motion would be when you go all the way up and all the way down Taking the elbow from about zero degrees at the bottom to about a hundred and fifty degrees at the top Yeah, we can split that full range of motion up into two halves doing curls in the top half would be short length Partials because the biceps are more contracted and doing curls in the bottom half would be long-length partials because the biceps are more stretched So in a sense if you're doing an exercise It's where the most stretch is that wherever whatever part of the exercise where the most stretching the muscle is in all cases In almost all cases if not all cases that is where you begin the long-length partial Let's go ahead and take a quick look here at which half of the range of motion stretches the most which is a continuation of this moment here as you stretch a muscle it gets longer Long-length partials so to figure out if the muscle is at a long length or not Just think about which half of the range of motion stretches the muscle the most and that's the half you want So there it is in a nutshell which half stretches the muscle the most now Let's move forward a little bit here and let's take a look at lat pull-downs and to be fair Appears that I've been doing them wrong for all those years that I did them So let's go forward to 129 pull-downs a long-length partial would look like this where you only go about halfway down to your chest And again That's because the lats are more stretched at the top with the arms up overhead And while most serious lifters still assume that a full range of motion is always best over the last few meters a growing pile Of research has shown that it is in fact the stretched part of the range that triggers the most muscle growth not full range of motion per se All right So there you go so I used to train with a buddy named Mirko and He used to yell at me when I would only go halfway down because I couldn't go any further And he'd be like full range of motion and then I would do that to him and it looks like we may have been dead wrong So there you go. That is what a lat pull-down Looks like using the correct technique. Let's skip forward a little bit here to the seven of eight studies There's now it's one thing to say. This is a good idea It's another thing to cite at least some evidence. So here is the evidence as of now There are eight studies comparing long-length partials to short-length partials Okay, seven of those eight studies found that long-length partials were better for muscle growth One study found no difference and no studies favored short-length partials, but okay So this is the first set of studies and if you want to I'll put a link to his video in the description So you can go check out his check out the actual studies if you want to But here's the thing this keep in mind. This is long-length versus short-length partials This is not not long-length partials versus full range of motion. Those are completely different That's what he gets to in the next heartbeat moment. Let's click on that one We are long-length partials clearly better than short-length partials. They might be better than full range of motion Right in some cases in cases seems like I'm overstating the evidence here I spoke with the world's leading researcher in this area Dr. Milo Wolfe And he seemed just as excited about long-length partials as me personally I'm on training for about nine or ten months now. I've been doing exclusively length of partials for all of my Hyperdrophy work what I've noticed when I speak about length and partials or anything that's like new and exciting in bodybuilding There's a camp of people who are like, oh, this is the new sexy thing that everyone's talking about I'm sure the hype will die down in this kind of thing So there you go. So it may even be better than full range of motion Which is kind of crazy because you know for years We've all been like you got to go to the bottom You start a squad at the top you go all the way down But to the ground kind of thing and that may not always be the right way to do it now If we go further into this the the best thing might be to go full range of motion as much as you can Which makes sense and then go to the long-range partials So keep that in mind just something you want to think about for those you advanced trainers or people that just You know generally want to get stronger So here are the two ways to use long-length as a high-intensity technique. He goes into great depth here at 355 So this makes perfect sense and this is something that you know a lot of people intuitively understand is a you know If I can keep this bar moving, let's just keep it moving even if I can't get to the top or to the bottom So that is the first way and the second way here is Let's get forward a few minutes here He'll talk about how he uses it for the last rep of every set and this is a different type of technique Second way I use length and partials is not as an end-of-set intensity technique But rather on every single rep of a set This is actually how I use them in my new pure bodybuilding program on the last set of several exercises We do long-length partials on every rep of that set So this is a completely different way I could I can see this working quite well because you can do full range of motion for you Let's say you do three sets of 12 you do two sets full range of motion To failure or close to and then the third set is long-range partials So this is another idea for those you and especially of those you that are just looking for new ideas on how to spice up your training This is definitely one of them. Let's go ahead and look at him doing Lengthened partials in action. He shows how to do the Smith Jean Smith machine chest press Which I think is a great example of this So I'm playing around with lengthened partials on the Smith machine press and man The pump you feel from these and the deep stretch you get is just fantastic And I've been experimenting with them on leg presses too and so far I do find the partial reps more enjoyable So there you go. Those are just two really good examples of using this and notice there's no full range of motion It's just the hard part or just where the muscle is Extended the final thing I want to show you as a heartbeat moment is some of the mistakes that you want to avoid Let's take a look at this one here comes to mistakes. It's a the biggest one I see is people just losing control when they start doing partial reps Yeah, this makes sense, you know, just don't be sloppy. That's really all he's trying to say here You don't need to see much more than that But a partial rep or is you got to maintain control at all parts of the training Don't just use this as a throwaway and go super fast through them and ignoring the you know Ignoring the drop of the bar or you know the drop of the or whatever just do it like a regular set Do it like a regular rep and that's it. So there you go guys This is Jeff Nipper's new intensity strength intensity technique for muscle growth. It's a heartbeat moment a set of moments Let me know what you think in the comments below. Tom or stuff coming up. Stay tuned


JZ, PMC want the first motherfucker from Texas that JZ got on something with Scarface would. Yeah. Tupac got on a song with Scarface. Tupac ain't got no name motherfucker from Texas, song but Scarface.   Scarface. That's real. That, that, that, what that, him and JZ and Scarface that, uh, that, and how it go?

Them facts, man. You pay homage. You hear me? JZ, PMC won the first motherfucking from Texas that JZ got on song with Scarface would. Yeah. Tupac got on a song with Scarface. Tupac ain't got on there motherfucking from Texas. Song but Scarface.   Scarface. That's real. That, that, uh, what that, him and JZ and Scarface, that, uh, that, man, how it go? That, guess who's possessed?  N***a, Scarface was on it in third. That Scarface ain't in rock. They the original song. He rocked that whole too.  Oh, I'm out here graver chase.  The niggas say, the niggas, Scarface say, trying to get a hundred thousand in mode. Mm, mm, mm, mm, say, huh, take these five stones and bring a niggas back a hundred years. Don't got no wholesale cause that ain't how I wanna run it. Here, take these five stones and bring a niggas back a hundred. For real, for real, for real, man. I always tell niggas, if you go get any niggas, I don't care who it is. I'm gonna go get Scarface. Everybody say Jay-Z. I'm just saying, I love his music, man. I love the story teller. Jay-Z did that song with Scarface. Jay-Z was the number one n***a in the rap game. Yeah. When Pop did Smile with Face.  So you can picture thawin' slowly. You gon' praise as I run. He was the number one n***a in the world.   That's real. How much influence do you think that this rap music will have on these young kids, growing up in- Yeah, it's religion. It's past religion. You understand what I mean? It's past religion. Because I hear some people be like, well, I wasn't even thinkin' about doin' that, but because I listened to this, I went out here and did that.

The nigga too street, the not wanna be street. Know what I'm sayin'? The nigga too street, the they don't wanna not be street. Know what I'm sayin'? I'm street, but I wanna not be street.


Just last week, as you all know, the tragedy of the plane from Tehran occurred. And one of our family members, our uncle from Canada, was involved in that accident. And one of the things that then went through my head over the last few days was just that thought of if you are on a plane and if you are in a kind of moment where you know almost death is imminent, what is your reaction? What do you actually do in that moment? You know this plane is heading towards the floor. You know what's coming. What do you physically do and what do you mentally do in those last 10, 20, 30 seconds? And it really was that for us, I think, as a family. It was a real, I think, that sudden nature of it is what really hurts. And I think when I look to say the phantom, and I reflect on all of us who know, who have seen family members go through pregnancy, a woman changes their mindset all of a sudden that they become secondary and their fetus becomes the primary focus of everything. If it's difficult for them to sit in a certain way but it's beneficial for their fetus, they will do it. If they need to eat a certain way but they don't really like to eat that way, they'll do it. Everything becomes changed. The woman becomes secondary and this unborn soul becomes the primary reason for their existence for those nine months. And I think to Fatimata Zahra and I reflect in, try and imagine at that point in time where she knows this door is imminently coming through. She doesn't just have to think on, do I protect myself? Or how do I mentally prepare for this moment? She now has a third cause to remind herself and say, do I protect myself? Do I mentally prepare? Or do I protect my fetus as a primary reason for my existence now? And what does Fatimata Zahra do in this moment? What does she protect first? Herself or her womb?  And maybe it's for Hussain to look on to learn from his mother that, oh Hussain, you too will have to face a loss of your own son so look at how I'm having to deal with it. Maybe it was a lesson from a mother to a son to say, this is how I will bear with it the same way that you'll need to bear when you lose your Ali and El-Asqar in your own arms. But what about the heart of Fatimata Zahra at that moment? What about that noble lady and that decision she has to make us to what she protects first? And what about the husband that looks on in despair knowing the imminent nature as to what's about to happen in front of him? And knowing that this same tragedy would repeat with the son to his side? What about this family? What about their tragedies? What about our connection to them? And what about our excuse to not change in their way with these very tears that we feel? Allah has given them to us as mark schemes to know how to succeed in this test. And perhaps one of the reasons as to why they face these very tragedies is that so then we can reflect on them day after day, week after week, year after year till our very end we ask for inshallah. And maybe it's there so that it irks us, that it hits us, that each time we have this renewed opportunity to say when most tears fall from my eyes because of the tragedies that they face, that's my catalyst to change. It's for you and I to decide, am I graduating this tear tonight or am I just letting it be once again? As we welcome our next guest, brother Nouri Sardar, may I please ask you to recite a surah to al-Fataha for all of those mu'min'een who passed in that plane crash and all of the mu'min'een who have passed away in the past few days and for all of our mar-u'ameen present al-Fataha.


Hello everyone, welcome to the Jenkins infrastructure weekly meeting today, we are the 20 of June 2023 around the table, we got myself Damien DuPortal, we don't have RV, he's in holidays, look at him, Mark Wait, Stephen Merle, Bruno Verarten, and Kevin Martins. Okay, let's get started with announcements. So the weekly release 2.411 has been released, that is the war packages and containers. I assume changelog is going to be there, is that correct? Correct, it's been merged and will appear, or it's been flagged for merge and will appear shortly. Cool. Something that I will also describe later today on the platform sg meeting that really is might will should also have updated the Windows Docker image to previous week weekly 2.410. More on that on the platform sg I don't want to spoil anymore. I haven't tested that yet. The goal is before until next week we should be able to do manual, let's say non automated, but non manual processes to publish today's weekly as a Windows image that might need to add some tags and do some things. Thanks for the contributor who did that. I'm not aware of any Jenkins infrastructure Windows controller usage, but since it was a change better to to mention it here. I don't have other announcement. Is that the case for you folks? No, okay. Let's continue with the upcoming calendar so I expect the next weekly release 2.412 next week. The 27 June 2023. Is that correct? Next year truly is this plan for next week, but the Wednesday, the day after the weekly 2.401.2 28th of June. Is there any question clarification? Okay, a word about Jenkins Advisories. We had one last week that wasn't announced yet during our previous meeting that was announced a bit later. So that's adversary while sinfra so for the plugins that's okay. And then another issue that has been fixed on the 2400 weekly release and 2401.1 LTS, we are using that LTS or later weekly releases so we are not subject to the advice that advisory. No more advisory announced. Clarification. Cool. I'm not aware of the next major event where the Jenkins infrastructure member will be present. Is there anyone? Nope. Okay. So let's proceed to today to a this week milestone. I'm switching to the GitHub view. So we have two closed issues. Three closed as no work plan issues for the two closed issues. A user had issues with their account. I've triggered the full reset of their password and so there is the same TP server on mail gun was saying everything went fine. I assume the user might have the mail on their blacklisting or they might have a rule that deleted haven't heard back so the issue has been closed. And also a question from Alex with the migration of trusted CI controller the private controller from AWS to Azure. Minor elements changed. They were documented, but clearly not enough. So anyone interested on reviewing the runbook and updating to avoid someone else. It's the same, let's say e-cups. It's welcome, but it looks like information there is correct. Just a reminder for everyone. Now you have to SSH to controller the trusted that CI Jenkins IEU, which is the host name of the virtual machine that we use for SSH port forwarding. While you still need to connect to trusted CI Jenkins IEU as the web service with the ETC host configured to the loop back on your machine. The goal is when your web browser goes to trusted CI Jenkins IEU. Then your ETC host file is read. There is no DNS record for this service. And then it goes through the local port from the SSH port forward. Any question? Okay. For the free other, so Reset password email. That one is an account on someone either doing an error or mixing our infrastructure with Jenkins, same for the 3625. We closed, but we worked on a remote repository for Keras Labs. Some of the Jenkins project, including Stapler, require a dependency name that is stored on elementary release from Keras Labs. We wanted to add that mirror as inside our repo Jenkins Artifactory because that remote repository was having issues in sometimes it was answering errors or wasn't properly set up. We tried to mirror it, but we hit some hiccups. Thanks for the work from Basil, Vincent Latom and Jesse Glick. They were able to guide the people at Keras Labs so they can publish directly to the Maven central repository. So now no need for us to have the mirror since everything is on our own mirror of the Maven central repository. And it's it's cached directly by our system. So that's why it has been closed as no work done because there is no additional work to be done here. Any question? Okay. This was the walk. The alien seems to have frozen for me. Did others see this perceive the same thing? Yes. Hello, can you hear me? Yes. Okay, sorry. I don't know what is happening. We have storms in the area in Belgium, so I assume my ISP is having issues. Sorry, I will try my best. Okay, let me share my screen again. Can you see my screen? Is it readable? Yes. Okay, it's still recording on the cloud. Okay, so I was saying Stefan, Erwin, Hiya are currently changing our machines and rotating our passwords so we are not able to work with the availability we used to have this week. So we don't have a lot of work done. That's effective. And that might at least one time with our environments. The sound is not really good. Do you want me to try to share my screen and you just, your voice and your video? Yes, good idea. Okay, can you still hear me? Sorry for that. Why am I having these issues? Okay, just been texted by my ISP. They are having issues. Okay. Guess what? It's their DNS infrastructure. It's always DNS. Can you see my screen? Good for me. Cool. So just a word about the work in progress now. First, you can stay on the notes of Stefan. No need to open the issues unless someone need. So installation and configuration of the Datadog plugin on CIGENK in SAIO. So right now I've ended over this task from AirVay. So I'm working on O to ensure that the Datadog agents which run on the virtual machine host is able to communicate with the controller. There are two problems to solve or being solved here. The first one is how to configure properly the Datadog agents. We don't want it to listen on everything, otherwise someone could send data through the UDP listening port from the outside. And secondly, the second problem is how to make communication between the container where CIGENK in SAIO controller runs and the Datadog agent on the host. The second one is easy. We use the Docker 0 gateway IP. Everything listening on the host machine will listen on that interface or is able to. And then since it's a gateway, just have to use the gateway IP as the destination. Since there is only one Datadog agent and it's the only protocol listening on that machine, there is no conflicts. So the goal will be to reinstall the Datadog plugin and set it up to listen on whatever IP on its ATN 125 instead of localhosts. For the first one, we will have to add a network security group to forbid any incoming request at the network level, as hinted by Tim Iacombe. And also we will need to update Puppet in order to ensure that any requests from another interface than the loopback or the Docker 0 should be dropped or even rejected.  So we have to be careful on this one. There is an account issue for the next, any question on this one? Okay, account issue, I'm skipping this one. We are waiting from the user and if they don't answer in today's week, close it as usual. Ubuntu 22 or for a great campaign. So the machines hosting the census and usage services has been upgraded. These two machines are still running on AWS and should be migrated to Azure soon. Also, we migrated archives the Jenkins IO, which is an IRM machine running on Oracle, and it's also running Ubuntu 22 or for. So now the last non Ubuntu 22 machines that we have to migrate. I accept Puppet Jenkins IO, which must be Ubuntu 20. For the rest, we have CI Jenkins IO virtual machine. We don't plan to upgrade it, but instead we have a new machine that is going to be created on a new network and we will use this one as a base instead of migrating the current one. We have the AKS cluster node pools and in order to switch to Ubuntu 22, we need to upgrade to Kubernetes 1.25. And as far as I can tell, these were the last machines, the rest of the machine has been upgraded. Oh, no, my bad. We have updates slash PKG machine. That one will be tricky. Any question? So I don't plan to walk on PKG this week because I will focus on Kubernetes 1.25 and other tasks. So I propose that this issue should move away. If I got extra time, which I don't think I will. The proposal will be with Stefan or someone else interested on how to run the release process of the Jenkins core inside a container. So we could migrate the updates machine to whatever OS we want, because all the dependency will be an Ubuntu 18 Bionic container. And then we could upgrade separately the container and dependencies with a test offline without requiring breaking a release. Next issue renew SSL certificate for updates Jenkins CI org. So thanks Stefan for driving this one. So we were able to discover that a former experiment by someone named Damien DuPortal, aka myself, had some leftovers on the USR bin repository that was pointing to the snap. That broke the Chrome tab that was running every day in charge of checking if a renewal is required. We cleaned up that part, but it's still not renewed because we need a full path or we need a way to update the path seen by the content processes. Otherwise, the third bot installation is not available. So there are multiple solution here. The one we discussed and that we agreed on separately and then with a consensus is to stop relying on the automated Chrome tab and write ourselves the Chrome tab line using Puppet. So we will control every pieces, including the logs doing so will avoid us wasting time like this one because it's been six or seven months that we have the issue repeatedly. And with the new Chrome tab, we would have logs that will surface the error. We would have solved that problem seven months ago if we would have had logs. Since we cannot do it, let's fix it by ourselves. Isn't that will be useful for any other kind of Puppet driven let's encrypt renewal. Exactly. The goal is to finish this issue this milestone, please do not run the third but renew command manual on the machines, because we want to be sure that the process works as expected. Keep saying that Damien because there's the risk that Mark Waitz going to go in so I appreciate your saying that thank you very much. To be quite transparent, the first target is myself I almost forgot this this morning, and I was to update that I was like no Damien no as if I was to person in the same brain right. Okay, so I'm not the only one who is sorely tempted. Oh, I know how to fix that and then the problem hides again for months. Great. Thank you. Okay. Next step is migration of the public gates cluster. The migration is finished, except for one service. It's been migrated officially. It's the mirror download system but we kept the old one because we still see some requests incoming. My goal is to write down a quick blog post that will need your help Kevin and Mark and Bruno and anyone here. My goal is just to communicate that the public IP for the mirrors for the mirror director is going is going to be changed. So when we will kill the former cluster in a few days, I will let you know to survey when it will be back. And complaining that oh it's not working. They will have a blog post and public communication on the community Jenkin say oh so we can say hey please respect the RFC for DNS resolution caching. So almost there. And everything else has been removed a lot of cleanup has been done by RV and that area. So, yeah, that one was a huge one that opened the road for IPv6 support for the mirrors and some services hosted on the new cluster. And also that mean we only have CI Jenkin say you and search CI left in the overlap network. So good news people, almost there killing that whole the unreliable network. Next step Stefan proposal for application in publicates to migrate to RM64 can you give the gives gives up ahead on this one. Completed the first list with all the the services that have been moved in the new publicates, but not worked on the on the one that can be eligible for the RM64. So we got few, but the list is not finished yet. Cool. Thanks. Should we continue working on this one for the coming milestone. Yeah, why not. Yes. Okay. And next one is use a virtual machine, a new VM instance type for CI Jenkin say you a migrating CI Jenkin say you to Ubuntu 222 in a new network. Right now, I haven't worked on it since since last meeting, except for starting, let's say proof of concept of inbound agents right now I'm having minor issues. I expect to work on this tomorrow since my machine has been migrated. Remove IP restriction on bounds or migrate to VPN. So contrary to what we discussed last week, it appeared that during the security release. It has been an annoyance of adding custom IP. Besides the security team confirmed that it's, it wasn't a problem for them. Team and Alex expressed their concern about that restriction and other solutions. There isn't a consensus on that area except that instead of restricting IP that can SSH connect to bonds requiring VPN access could be a good intermediate for that. So you don't need to keep track of your public IP, which is. Yes, I would say, if you have to change your public IP is either you have an ISP issue or you shouldn't access trusted CI. But the VPN is is a good intermediate so let's go that route. That's no will need a bit of work because we need to peer the virtual networks between each other. I've added the to the list, but I propose to delay that task because we don't have a very yet and we have other tests to finish. Of course, if it starts to be an emergency or blocker, please raise your hand and we will put this back from the backlog back to the milestone and change priority. But as far as I can tell for now, we should keep this one. Matomo GitHub Docker repo haven't done anything yet I plan to work first day on this one. I keep having this one on the next on the next milestone so unless there is any question, I can jump directly to assess artifactory bandwidth reduction option.  Apologies I still haven't done it and that's been my I must do it. But today, I've got to send the summary to to our colleagues at JFrog so that they're aware that our initial experiment did not have the desired results and then we've got to find. Okay, what are the alternatives. But that won't happen until late today. Okay, and I apologize I have to drop off the meeting here in two or three minutes for another meeting. Just before you drop. I have a meeting invitation named G frog bond with status report for Thursday. 6pm my time so noon. Is it a meeting with JFrog. Looks like. Yes, meeting with you for Stephen chin or Laurel also interesting. Okay, good. Yeah, so I thought Stephen was out of the office but but we'll look forward to them. Yeah, I'll get that sent out and we'll meet with them and talk to them then. Okay, can you double check with them because it that might be my Google agenda messing up. It's similarly on mine as well but I think it's worth asking, right because it's a good excuse. I send them a summary today and say hey, we see on our calendar this but we're not sure that you're in the office. Cool. Thanks Mark, so we can release you. And next topic is a great equipment as one dot 25 so the goal that has been delayed from past milestone but I keep having this goal is to upgrade one or ideally the two digital ocean clusters to the new Kubernetes version. Jenkins CI failing for Jenkins plugin after changes in Jenkins file. We haven't heard back from the from the maintainer so I will have the last message and we will close this during this milestone that issue, because we did everything we could so I need to check if things have changed otherwise we close it and we can keep going. And finally artifact caching proxy is unreliable that's directly related to the CI Jenkins IE agents that need to be shifted network. So that's my next task for the CI Jenkins IE that's why I'm keeping this one. Now, let me just check if we can you open github.com Jenkins and trial desk Stephen. Let's see if we have new incoming issues. Nope we don't have any new issues there. So nothing new everything has been taken in account. So nothing else for me. Do you have other elements for you folks you want to speak about. Okay, so then I'm going to stop the recording so for people who are watching this recording see you next week sorry for the bad sound and internet cuts. Let's do better next week.


It was like any other day. For each individual, it carried with it its own significance. In yet another house in Lachance Delhi, only days earlier, a British gentleman, Sir Cyril Radcliffe, had completed redrawing a map of India. He had used red ink to ruthlessly create new boundaries. Now, this map was to become the tangible physical contours of a country. In different parts of the country, members of royal families of erstwhile kingdoms waited for the boundaries of their empires to be erased permanently, waiting anxiously to be absorbed into a new country which was about to be born. It could have been any other day. 14th of August 1947 wasn't. Because in less than 12 hours on the 15th of August 1947, a nation changed to bondage was preparing to unshackle itself of its fetters. Because in the words of that Kashmiri Pandit, who was to become the nation's first prime minister, a voice of the country long suppressed was finally going to find true utterance. The midnight of the 14th of August 1947, as the clock welcomed the 15th of August, the Union Jack, representing colonialism was lowered and the tricolor representing the new nation's liberty, its pride and symbol was finally hoisted. It is said that on that day when millions of Indians descended on the capital to witness this birth of a nation, a rainbow flared across the overcast sky. Some called it a benediction, a heavenly sign, gifting this infant nation with celestial blessings. All over the country there were celebrations. In many towns and cities, prisoners were set free. Yet beneath all this euphoria was the unstated tension of the communal carnage waiting to be explored. Mahatma Gandhi's death would take away from the centre stage the man who could have given the country's destiny a different emphasis. It is a theoretical issue whether his death took the country on an alternate course. Yet others who had been his apprentices had already taken over the helm of affairs. They were all men with impeccable credentials. In the coming years they would teach the nation how to cope with self-reliance, to conceive its own agenda, to overcome difficulties and obstacles, to fight demons it had created along the way and some which it had inherited. It was its achievements and its setbacks in striving to come to terms with itself, with its pluralistic composition, with its commitment to democracy, with its use of democratic means to restore its occasional bouts with anarchy, which defined the true meaning of its trist with destiny. After all, in the 50 years since that fateful day of the 14th of August 1947 and subsequently the triumphant freedom on the 15th of August, India was and is still a nation in the making.


But there are levers that Biden could use, which he hasn't used. There are levers which previous presidents have used when Israel has, in their view, crossed the line. For example? Go back to 1956, Eisenhower, threat and sanctions if Israel didn't pull its forces out of Sinai. Reagan held up delivery of fighter jets over Israel's action in Lebanon. George Bush Sr. blocked loan guarantees because of settlement building. He did, I was there the day that, that I, well, going back to 1956, I mean. So these levers are there, aren't they? Well, there's some, but the president has said something about the settlements. He has said something about the settlements. But saying and blocking weapons supplies, for instance, are very different things, aren't they? Well, it's not, it's a path. We just watched a snippet from an interview with Nancy Pelosi at the Munich Security Conference. And as you saw, she had absolutely no good response when she was confronted by journalist Tim Sebastian about the fact that Biden is condemning Israel's conduct on one hand, but on another hand, he's still giving them weapons. In fact, John Cassidy of The New Yorker shared these two headlines from The Wall Street Journal that were on the same page. One headline says, Biden presses Netanyahu to accept plan. And the other reads, US is preparing to send bombs, other arms to Israel. Yeah. So he wants to have it both ways. He wants the Democratic Party voting base to think that he's against the actions of the Israeli government, but he's refusing to hold Israel accountable in any way. In fact, the US just voted again to veto another UN resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which is the third time that they've done this. And to make matters worse, Biden is scheduled to attend a private fundraiser with pro-Israel billionaire and racist Haim Saban that costs up to $250,000 for a ticket. Now, if you're unfamiliar with Saban, he recommended additional scrutiny for Muslims in order to ensure that they're not terrorists. So that's the kind of person who's influencing Biden. And you'd think that Biden would disavow support from a Trumpian Islamophobe like Saban if he really wanted us to believe that he's against Israel's actions because Saban isn't against what Israel is doing. So maybe having him in your ear, having really high-dollar fundraisers with him isn't necessarily the best look, especially if you're trying to repair that bridge that you burnt with Arab-Americans, but Biden's not doing that. And his actions here are indefensible, which is why Pelosi was checkmated when she was confronted about Biden's refusal to hold Israel accountable in any meaningful way. But Tim Sebastian wasn't done, and he continued to press her on the matter further. I guess my question is, at what point would you, a long-time friend of Israel, say to the government there, the price of this military operation is too high and is no longer morally defensible? Or are there no limits, as far as you're concerned? No red lines? Well, would they care if I said that? I mean, why would they care? If you don't, you're staying silent, and you're complicit, aren't you? We're not staying silent. No, we're not staying silent. We're saying it's wrong for them to do what they're doing, to the extent that they are doing it. Unbelievable. Why would they care what I have to say? Really, Nancy, this is a question that you, the former Speaker of the House, is unironically asking? Let's pretend for a moment that she doesn't actually know the answer to this question. But the reason why they care is because you have the power to stop supplying them with weapons. You have the power to stop making the money printer go burr. But you're not doing that. And even if the US was powerless here in this situation, which they're not, but assume for a moment that they were, and no matter what they said, Israel wouldn't listen. Well, at a minimum, you would at least think that you should stop supplying them with weapons and maybe at least allow one UN resolution condemning their actions to go through, but you're not even doing that. So if they see that there's a pattern that your words hold no weight and there's never any accountability for their actions, then what incentive do they have to listen to you?    It means that you show the child that there are consequences for their actions. They leave the park immediately if he starts doing this. They lose some of their privileges. I don't know, maybe you take away their TV or their iPad. I don't know what the kids are playing with these days. No bluey for a week. And I don't mean to be overly reductive by equating this relationship between the United States and Israel as one that's paternal, but for better or worse, I mean, that kind of is the dynamic here, right? The fact remains that Israel could not continue doing what they're doing if the United States actually held them accountable, but they're not. And that's why they're continuing to defy the United States because you're still giving them weapons. You're still not allowing a single UN vote on the Security Council to go through. There's just been no accountability. They are able to openly defy you an international law and there's no reason to stop, so why would they? But there's one more clip that I wanna show you because it actually gets even more embarrassing for Pelosi if you can believe that. There's a danger for the US that if you don't like what Israel is doing and the president has made it clear that some of what Israel is doing, he doesn't like. That's right.  You own this operation every bit as much as they do, don't you? No, we don't. We have always supported Israel as our national security friend, largely because it was in our interest to do so, at large because it was in Juso. We had shared values at only democracy in the region. The behavior of Netanyahu is, in my view, inexcusable in terms of how it has affected the collateral damage to children and families and the rest, but nobody can take away the right of any country to defend itself. It has been brutally attacked in that way. 28,000 Palestinian lives is more than self defense, isn't it? It's more than self defense. Well, their goal, and I just saw President Herzog, for whom I have enormous respect, and said, how are things? And he basically said, we just have a couple more steps and then we'll be through this. So that sounded optimistic to me that they think that it is in reach to rid Gaza of Hamas. I don't hear a lot of the people and they're outside my house almost every day, but nobody cares about that. And I don't mean to make that a big thing, but I just hear them saying, free the hostages. I don't hear any of them saying Hamas is a terrorist organization. I hear them praising Hamas. I hear them ignoring the hostages. So there's a lot of, shall we say, behavior we all have to address here. Last week the EU's foreign policy chief, Joseph Burrell, wondered aloud why the US isn't doing more to have its warnings taken seriously in Jerusalem. If you believe, he said, that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide fewer arms in order to prevent so many people being killed. He's got a point, hasn't he? Israel is very well equipped with weaponry. There's nothing that we have sent since October 7th that has contributed to this brutality. In the longer run, they're in a dangerous neighborhood and we will continue to support Israel. He's got a good point, doesn't he? Of course he does, which is why she tried to deflect and outright lied about people protesting in front of her house, saying that they're praising Hamas. Nancy, you know that that's a lie. You know that they're not praising Hamas. But the reason why they're not calling on Hamas to release the hostages is because our government doesn't fund Hamas. It funds Israel. We have no way of holding Hamas accountable, either directly or indirectly. And more importantly, more than a hundred hostages were released during the temporary ceasefire in December. So perhaps stopping the bloodshed is the best means to that end. But she said something else in particular that was really telling to me. She referenced the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog. And she said that she has enormous respect for him unlike Netanyahu. This signals to the Democratic Party voting base that the Democratic Party is trying behind the scenes to work with more reasonable actors in Israel to reign in Netanyahu, whose behavior she called inexcusable. But the problem with this strategy here, this appeal to Democratic Party voters, is that its success hinges entirely on the hope that they're stupid and that they don't know that Isaac Herzog is in full support of Netanyahu's quote, inexcusable behavior. In fact, less than two weeks into their genocide, he suggested that Ghazan civilians were all legitimate targets because they're all responsible for the actions of Hamas since they didn't rise up to overthrow them. Now if the Democratic Party's base doesn't know about this, then Nancy Pelosi here looks reasonable. You know, she's trying to do her best to reign in Netanyahu.   But she's optimistic, I guess, as she said, because Isaac Herzog told her that there's only a couple more steps until they're done. A couple more steps. I wonder if she asked him how many thousands of lives will be lost in these last couple of steps. It's just so frustrating to watch this because she is so dishonest here. And another thing that she said that really bothered me was collateral damage. She used that term, which I find gross because it minimizes the loss of human life. And it also suggests that these deaths were all unintended, just an unintended consequence of a military operation. Full stop. But make no mistake about it. This is all intentional. It's not an accident. Israel is purposefully killing children both directly and indirectly. And not only are they starving the population and putting them on the brink of famine, but their snipers have literally targeted and murdered multiple children. Collateral damage makes it seem like Israel is guilty of manslaughter when in actuality, we're talking about them being guilty of mass murder and genocide. But of course, she's trying to downplay and sanitize Israel's actions here because she's complicit. So she's going to say what will make Democratic Party voters feel better and what makes her feel better, what helps her to sleep with herself at night. If I were in her position, I wouldn't be able to live with myself, supporting a genocide in a position of power. Like I just, I don't know that I can compartmentalize in the way that she does, but we have a lot of lawmakers, apparently, who are able to do this. She's not alone. John Federman, Joe Biden, many lawmakers in both parties are perfectly fine aiding and abetting Israel as they do a genocide. So I mean, this interview is really revealing. Nancy Pelosi came off terribly here because she tried to defend something that is just indefensible. She tried to shrug off our country's culpability in genocide.


Soil is a finite resource that is under threat from human activity. Digital soil mapping, DSM, has emerged as a powerful tool to monitor and manage this resource. In France, the spot satellite constellation has enabled the development of DSM techniques using remote sensing, RS. These techniques have been used to predict soil properties and provide insights into the processes that control soil formation and evolution. Despite its limitations, RS data can be used to complement traditional soil sampling and analysis, providing a cost-effective alternative for monitoring soil properties. Future sensors will offer even greater potential for DSM and natural resource monitoring. This article was authored by Anne C. Richarda Forges, Chen Qianchen, Nicholas Baghdadi, and others.


Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.  You get a teletype warning you that two hold-up men are heading for your city. You know they're armed and dangerous. Your job, be ready for them. The documented drama of an actual crime For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law to an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, DRAGNESS is the story of your police force in action. It was two of the April 5th, it was raining in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out a robbery detail. My partner Frank Smith, the boss of Chief of Detective Pat Brown, my name's Friday. I was on my way back tomorrow night and it was 846 a.m. when I got to room 27A. Squadroom. Frank? Yeah, Joe, back here. How about it? Turn anything? Yeah, a couple of names, none of them match the descriptions. One of them I was supposed to be in. This afternoon's mail I said they were sent on a merit special. It'll be easier when we know who we're looking for. Yeah, it will. Friday? Smith? Yeah, it's coming. You got a minute? Right there. Morning. Yeah. Close the door, huh? Yeah, sure. Here. Take a look at this. What is it? About the merchant, by the way. I just talked to Leopold. Sheriff from Las Vegas. That's right. He gave me as much as he could on the merchant. Let me check our records. There's nothing on them here. It isn't likely. From what Leopold says they're fresh out from the east. You name a town? No, someplace in Georgia. They're trying to run it out. Both of them. We've got to pull a couple of gas stations and hold up over there. Anything else? Yeah, at least they think so. Well, burning their records, the boys got into town a couple of months ago. No visible means, with plenty of money. Well, hung around the places on this trip. Gambled, drank, had themselves quite a time. Yeah? The department over there started to wonder where the money was coming from, put a couple of men on them full-time. What'd they find out? Not much. The merchant said it's cozy.  Nothing to hold them on so they were released. Yeah. Next morning they skipped town, left clean. On the way out they stopped long enough to kick in a couple of those gas station motels, you know, along the highway. Oh. It was pretty good. The victims make the identification right away? Yeah. As soon as they saw the pictures, the sheriff saw this notified baker. Highway patrol there was waiting, but they must have gotten through before the word went out. Mm-hmm. We've been able to trace them through Barstow, Victorville, on through Pair Blossom, Little Rock. They worked hard all the way. What do you mean? Three service stations, two restaurants, one motel. Anything on them here in LA? Not yet. A matter of time. We've got to get them before they... All the victims tell the same story. These two guys are off their rockers. The way it stacks up, they're well armed. The car they're driving is cold and they're on the needle. Tell it. Well, we got it. Leaphole says they kept a couple of dates with known pushers in Vegas. As far as he could tell, there wasn't anything past. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. Oh. That's the story. Get on it. Okay, Captain. I told you before, it's a matter of time until they try to put somebody around here in town for a couple of crazy gunmen high on H. Bad combination. Somebody's got to lose. Well, let's hope it's not us. Ethan Gifford Merton, WMA, 27 years, 5 feet 80 inches, 165 pounds, and his brother Grady James Merton, 24 years, 5 feet 6, 152 pounds, arrived in Los Angeles on the morning of April 5th. The first word we had at their presence was a hot shot telephone call reporting the robbery of a market on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Monroe Street. The market owners, Mr. and Mrs. Turner Dillon, had both been thrifting it. Mr. Dillon's been removed to Georgia for a few years. Mr. Dillon's been removed to Georgia to be treated in the hospital for treatment of a skull fracture. The woman had been given emergency treatment on the scene and referred to her own doctor. The description the victims gave us matched the merchant brothers. As soon as the mug shots from Las Vegas arrived, Frank and I drove out to see Mrs. Dillon. We found her in a small apartment above the store. I just talked to Dr. at the hospital. He said, Turner, be all right. Sure, I wonder the way they hit him. No reason for it. We didn't give him the money. Turner kept telling him, take the money and leave us alone. The money didn't make any difference to him. I don't think they even heard us. We'd like to look at some pictures of Mrs. Dillon and see if you can point out them, ma'am. Oh, sure. Anything to help you catch him. Here you are, ma'am. You brought him in here, do you? I hope so, yes. Well, you're right. Here they are. Thank you. Is that going to help you get him? Yes, ma'am. Did you notice that they drove a car into the Dillon? I can't tell you for sure. We didn't really see him until they were in the store. Well, there must be something wrong with men who beat somebody up like that.  What'd they say to you? Well, they told us it was a stick-up. They said to hand over the money. The bigger one, that doesn't seem right there. He said for us to hurry up. My husband opened the cash register and he gave him what was there. The big one told him to get to the safe. Hand over that money, too. The point of the gun that has kind of pushed us back to the safe. Turner opened it. All the time we did just what they said. We weren't going to cause them any trouble. Handing them all the money, every dime. Turner kept saying, take the money, but leave it so long. He must have said it 50 times. Before I even knew what was happening, Turner was lying on the floor. He'd been hit. I got mad. I tried to get at the man myself. It didn't make any difference to him. I was a woman. They hit me, too. That's the gun? Yeah, here, out on the safe. If it didn't hit me as hard as it did, Turner. If it didn't. Did that thing hit the store? Not too good. To tell you the truth, my wife and son were taking care of my husband and paying attention to them. A couple of hoodlums. I don't know where men like it come from. There's something wrong with the way they were brought up. Yes, ma'am. It'll probably be their parents who ought to be in jail, not the boys at all. You might be right. It's not the boys fault. Well, we'll settle for them. 4.25 p.m. We received a communique from the FBI telling us that the state of Alabama for escape. The complete record on the two men was also sent. They'd been arrested a total of 26 times for everything from petty theft to kidnapping. According to the kickback, they'd escaped from a road gang while serving a sentence to possession of narcotics. We contacted the authorities in Alabama and asked them to forward all available information on the suspect. After talking with Captain Donahoe, Frank and I went over to the first street station to see Captain Walder. We asked him to supply a list of places the two brothers might turn for a narcotic contact. He gave us a list of several places in town and the names of men we could talk to. 8.16 p.m. We started to check them out. Yeah, what would it be? You seen Patsy Hayworth around? Well, why are you looking for him? Wanna talk to him? What about? Well, if we wanted you to know, we'd ask for you, wouldn't we? You guys coughed? That's right. Now where's Patsy? I don't know. Come on. We got word that he hasn't been more than three blocks away from here in the past four years. Now where is he? I told you, I don't know. You're not being smart, Mr. Hey, back room. Say, along? Yeah, as far as I know. What's he doing? Nothing different. I'm solid, sir. Oh. Yeah, you want some? You Patsy Hayworth? That's right. Sit down. I know you. I don't think so. You're in the wrong room. Police officers, we got some questions for you. I don't guarantee the answer. That's a start. Go. You heard from the Martin brothers? Who? Grady and Ethan Martin. No names. You don't know them. Red Queen and the Black King, and I could turn them over. That's the baby I've been looking for the first time today. Is that so? Yeah. First win. Too bad it didn't pay for the deck. I don't mean to kill him. All right, now come on, Hayworth. What do you know about the Martin? I told you nothing. Now, why come to me? A lot of other guys in town? They're going to need eight. The way we got it, you can steer them to it. Old friends again. All right. Get your coat. Why? Let's take a ride. For what? We can't talk here. Let's get on town. Well, it's a nice place. There's nothing wrong with right here. All right. I'll send it for me. Why? Well, information like that ought to be worth something. You know we can't do anything for you. Come on, let's go. Well, how long do you think you're going to be able to hold it? Long enough. How do you make that? Well, I'll tell you. We'll take you downtown. Process. You pass the word. You're copped out. Told us about a half a dozen people in town. Thing like that gets around. You're going to be in trouble. You'll come back with what we want to know. Well, that's kind of crummy. It almost built the blackmail. No, you called it. We didn't. You'd really do that. We would. All right. You crossed out all the roads. What do you want to know about the merchants? You know them.  When? What is it? A bar or a hotel? A hotel. Are they there now? No, we just used the room to meet them. You know where they are? No. What do they want? You called at age. Are you doing any good? No, I told you the truth and I'm pushing it anymore. Why'd they come to you? Heard I could turn them on. What'd you tell them? Well, we said I couldn't help them. I told them I'd try and line something up. You know, I don't want any part of that action. You know, I could have a piece of it. The answer would be no. They must be shooting seven, eight caps a day. They're most of the time cooking. They're out of their skull. Yeah. You got anything that'll help box them in? I don't know. Hey, maybe the broad. What do you mean? Well, they're dragging a broad with them. A big one. It could be six, two in a stocking. You know her? I've seen her around. Where? Used to have some drinks downtown. Got too rough with some of the managers. They tied the can to her. She's been floating for a couple of months. Tied into some guy. I'll pay the bills as soon as he wises up. She drops and goes on to power. She got a land rest? No, I can't name it. Some fleabag on sip, I think. Is she a hide? I don't know. She might chip you with it. Not steady enough. She's smart, you know? How do you look? She'd do real good. One of the homiest women I ever met. Is that so? Yeah, it looks like she should be wearing a bridal. The work we get in touch with her. Well, it's hard to say since she's running with the Merton. Yeah. You might try to tend her heart. What is that? It's a dive on six. She used to show for the place. When they kicked her out, she went freelance. She still hangs around, I think. Well, how'd you leave it with the Merton? Huh? They going to contact you? I don't know. They might. Want me to call you if they do? Yeah, we'd appreciate that. Okay. You got a card? Here. Thanks. I'll give you a ring. All right, here. We'll hear from you, right? Yeah. There you are. You see? What? You should have banked the game. I lost. No, you didn't. You won. We returned to the office and ran the name and description of the woman through the record section. We came up with a package listing arrests for violation of section 647-5 of the penal code and 42-20 LAMC, soliciting drinks. She'd served two terms in the county jail and at the present time was not on parole. We got her address and drove out to see her. The landlady at the apartment house told her she was out and wasn't expected back at any certain time. Frank and I drove down to the tenor heart in a small bar on 6th Street. We found the woman sitting on one of the front stools. Hi, honey. I could buy a drink. Your name, Jane, some letter? Names. Don't mean anything here. Just friends. It's all that really counts, friends. How about it? Is that your name? Are you guys caught? That's right. You're asking me for a rank on nothing? We're not rousing. We want to talk to you. About what? Let's get outside. Be easy to talk there. I got a choice. Not much. Okay. Henry? Yeah, Jane? Save us two. I'll be right back. Okay. So? Here, we can talk in the car. Yeah. Go ahead. Get in. Okay. What's the beef? You work here, do you? You mean this place? That's right. Uh-uh. Once in a while. I come in and have a couple of drinks. That's it. Where do you live? I've been a rock top. You know, I had to pass the time of day. What do you have to do? A couple of questions. Not the power for that. What do you mean? They're not uniform. They don't send a suit out to ask about a traffic accident. What do you do with your time, Jane? Move around. Well, lay it out for me. What? When? First of the week, huh? Okay. It's that late Monday. Got up about 1.30. Not a bad night Sunday. Worked up with a real head. Tagged the bar in the corner. Had a couple of bloody marries. Went home. Changed my clothes and met a friend. You want to give us his name? Nick Gawney, father. Not for much. Nick Pfeiffer. Okay. What happened then? I was out with him until 1932. 1932? That's in the morning. Yeah. Came home. Went to bed. Flapped until about 11.32. Got a call from a couple of friends. We just got into town. Got their name? Same deal. Same deal. Couple of brothers. They met a girlfriend of mine in Las Vegas. She gave them my number. How about the names? Eastern and Grady Merckin. Okay. Met them. Had a couple of drinks and go out to the beach for lunch. Came back to town at dinner. Takes us up to last night. Have you seen them today? Nope. He couldn't call me. Said they had some kind of business to take care of this evening. After that they were going to pick me up. Where? Here. In about an hour. Got the reason for the muscle? The Merckin brothers? Might be. Got a game going. I'm not on their side. I want that clear. They pulled a boo-boo. They did it themselves. No help from me. If I'm concerned, they both got soft spots. What do you mean? The skulls. Soft. May I say what this business was? They had to take care of? No. I mentioned something about somebody who wanted money. Something like that. So they were going to collect. Didn't say where though. Not to me. They waited with a rig last night though. Didn't leave a lot of doubts. All those guns going out to collect. They weren't going to do it. Nice. We called the office and told them what had happened. Another team of men were sent out to help us cover the place. Frank and I took up our positions in the back of the bar and we waited. What's your name? One thirty. One forty-five. What do you think, John? I don't know. They decided not to show us. Hey, John got an idea this morning. Yeah. Well, I was shavin'. I always have trouble, you know. Try all the things they tell you. Let the ladders stay on two and a half minutes. Hot water, all the things you're supposed to do. I've tried them all. I finally came up with the answer. You did, huh? Yep. Well, what is it this time? New kind of razor? A razor. Yeah. I got thinking about, say, and gave him the idea. How did that work? Say, he's my wife. Well, I know that. She shaving now? Oh, you don't understand. She's not shaving. No? No. You last night, he gave herself one of those home permanents. And I got the idea from that. For the new razor. Yeah. They got those permanence things for different kinds of hair, like hair that's hard to curl, medium, easy to curl. Easy, you know. How did I know what's coming here? Well, if somebody invented a razor for tough beard, medium beard, light beard, he'd do all right. You're going to invent it, are you? Sure, I'm not going to invent it. You know how I am with those things. You've got the idea, though, that's all. I'd sure like to buy one if they had them. Tough beard. Find one right away. First date. That'd be the answer. Well, here comes ours. Looks like Grady Martin just came in, doesn't it? Yeah. Where's Brother S? Might be outside. Wait a minute before we move. In the sunlight a little bit. I'm starting to believe. Let's go. We'll take him outside. All right. All right, Martin, hold it up. He's leaving, Joe. All right, come on. Calm down. Take it easy. Leave me alone. Police officer. Take it easy. Come on, Martin.  Come on. Get over there by the wall. Stand still. Look, Joe. Luger. All right. Put your hands down in the back.  You're going to be sorry about... Boy, your brother. You'll find it. You're going to find out, Mr. Now, where is he? I won't leave you, Tom. You got him, huh? That's right. You turned him on, didn't you? You talk to me, guys like you always cause me trouble.  I don't know what he can see, and you're sure going to be sorry when he hears about this. Tell him to stay away, too. He'll get you. You can't dig far enough to get away. He'll find you and pay your back. All right, that's enough. Now, let's go. You tell her. She's going to collect interest on us. She'll be sorry. Not alone. Huh? She'll have company. The other team of men remained at the bar in the event the other suspect returns. Empty your pocket. Huh? Come on. Empty your mind. Wallet. Change. Hang it. You spend mine. Let me see your arms, Martin. All right. Come on. Let me see your arms. What for? Now, there's two ways to do this. You take your choice. Okay, okay. When do you have your last pop? You got to prove it. That won't be hard. All we got to do is drop you in an ISO cell and you'll be screaming for it. Sure. You get all the money you can on that. I'll book it myself. Let me see your wallet. Nothing wrong with your reach? Thanks, Flip, on your car? Yeah. You bought it in Nevada? Yeah. What was the key for? Nothing. I just like to carry him. Stand up. Now, what happens now? You hit me? Turn around. Forgot something, didn't you, Martin? Huh? The key here. What's it for? I never saw it before. Hendricks Arms Hotel. Is that where you've been staying? I'm not going to stay any more. You want me to talk? It's got to be with the lawyer. All right. I know my rights.  You don't have to. Huh? We've got all we need. We had Grady Merton taken to the main jail and held to answer charges of violation of Section 211, PC. 326 a.m., Frank and I left the office and drove out to the Hendricks Arms with a large private home in the Crenshaw area that had been converted into a hotel. Frank covered the back entrance to the building and I walked up the steps. 330. Hope you've got a good reason coming around here this time of night. Police officer, can you tell me who's ready to go in 5C? What floor? Listen, mister, this is a clean place. There's no trouble. Now, that's the way I want it. That's the way I want it to be. Yeah, sir. Now, who's in room 5C? A couple of guys. What are their names? I don't know. Smith or something. White Red is the room for them. I've only seen him a couple of times. All right. Does one of them look like this picture?  Oh. Let's take a look. Oh. Is the fellow here? That's all right. Hmm. Well, here? Yes, that's one of them. Yeah. Is he in now? Well, I wouldn't have any way of knowing that. Tenants come and go as they please. See, as long as they don't let the water run, don't have no loud parties, we don't bother. Where is the room? It's the third floor rear. Oh, OK. This hall's over the back door. Yeah, it is. Got to go through the kitchen. Say, can you tell me what this is all about? Be better if we didn't. We're going to be in shooting? I don't think so. Well, if there is, I can give you a hand. I've got a 12 gauge in the room. I used to hunt ducks. I can get it if you can. No, sir, that won't be necessary. Is he here? No, no, he isn't. Is there any back stairs? Yes, sir. Right through there. It looks like a closet, but you open another door and you can go on up. All right, sir. Do you have a key to the room? Yeah. Here. Here. How are you going with you? It might be better if you stay here. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'll get my gun and guard the front door.

I have to change the belt on my sander, so I thought I would tell you guys a little bit about my sander Show you how I'm going to change the belt and tell you why I love this thing so much This thing has been a lifesaver we started out with a hand sander just a block just a block And then we got we got an electric sander one of those little square mini jams and that took forever to do Anything always and nothing was even or uniform it would dip and wave Sometimes it's useful. Sometimes you need that little orbital sander just used it yesterday. Yes, she did But sometimes when you're doing big items, yeah, or you're really trying to take down a lot of wood shave something down Round something off. You're gonna need something a little more beefy and stable to do that type of work This is our Ryobi sander. It's a 4.3 amp sander. It's 36 inch by 4 inches wide belt Six inch disc on it. It comes with 80 grit on both and today it's time to change them It's got a max belt sanding speed of 3500 rpms, and it's got a disc max spinning speed 1900 rpms this thing is pretty substantial.  I haven't done it yet. It looks like it'd be easy We're just changing the belt right now. It's my first time changing the belt.  It's great.  This was okay. This lasted a few weeks. I'm gonna say this belt lasted At least three pieces furniture three pieces or maybe four got a new belt Again sticking with the 80 by directional flush joint runs smoothly in both directions. Oh, this is a super fancy belt Super smooth in both directions. All right, that's it lower the tension arm Make sure it's nice and even yes, it says it's spring loaded pretty tight. Is that right? All right spring loaded now. I never do anything on an angle like this. I'm gonna lower it down again Now I'm gonna turn it on and I'm gonna watch to see where the placement is on the pad here It'll shift one way or the other one direction or the other Although I don't know any one direction songs and then you'll use this knob here to center it It's gonna tilt one way or the other this creates more and less tension kind of looks the belt ride in the middle So let's turn it on see what we got. That was pretty dead center I just tweaked it a little bit a scooch when I first took it out of the box I put this on again. I only had to tighten it just a little skewed. I played with it for 30 seconds. Good to go We need to change the pad look at that thing All right, so this is sticky pad. We're gonna remove the little table that it comes with We did some cornhole boards and we had to round the tops of the legs so that they would swivel and we did Virtually no cutting. I did all the rounding with this disc. I love it. It was amazing How it just Completely rounded those corners and made it a complete art.  I forgot Is it sticky or is it velcro? Oh sticky. That is some serious sticky. Oh shibs Shibs All right, it's supposed to be dust and debris free. We got these gator discs gator again We went with 80. 80 is the standard. This doesn't seem as sticky Put the little table back on Change the pads. You guys want to see how we're happy to have a piece of scrap wood.  Not our seconds. We'll show you how we'll get the long side also I guess can't see it too. Well, but you can see how it shaved it down Another tool that I love another tool that I can't live without my Ryobi tabletop Santa, I love this thing. So what's your favorite tool?
