Greg Hickman, lay leader at Whitesboro United Methodist Church, is the owner and CEO of First Texas Home Health, a leading home health care system. The Reverend Dr. Andy Stoker is an interfaith leader who has served as a United Methodist pastor for more than 20 years. Today, he is chief engagement officer at the Thanksgiving Foundation. Jessica Vargas, mission coordinator in the North Texas Conference Center for Church Development, supports leaders across the conference as they identify new ways to engage their communities for Christ. First into the spark tank is Abram Escutia with The Loft, a new young adult ministry from Casa Emanuel United Methodist Church. What really sparked the idea for this is that our community currently has no young adult ministry in our area and just the location of our church. It's a great idea to start young adult ministry. We have a recreational center right next door and we have Brian Adams High School across the street. Good morning shards. My name is Abraham Escutia and we are from Casa Emanuel United Methodist Church and I'm here with our Reverend Pastor Paul Barton. And we're looking for a $10,000 investment in our new space called The Loft. The Loft is a young adult ministry that we're looking to start in Casa Emanuel United Methodist Church. So this idea started because of a need. I remember sitting down at an administrative council meeting and one of the members said, what Kim Martinez said, what people are going to be asking, why would we want to join United Methodist Church besides all the other churches that are on our street or in our area? And what we notice is that no other church in our street has a young adult ministry. We also came with the need that at our church, I'd say about the average age of our members is 65 years old. So there's a need to rejuvenate the church, bring younger members to the church, become leaders that will serve in the church and disciples of Christ in our church. We're looking to start a young adult ministry and our church is located at a great area to where we can fill that. Next to our church we have a recreational center and right across the street we have a high school. So we're really positioned in a great area so that this can take off and grow. At the loft we are planning to give evangelism teachings and discipleship teachings and we're looking to make it to where we talk about topics relevant to the young adult today, to the generation today. And we have the support of our church members. We have the hope and desire to do it. All we need is the funds to to get this thing rolling. So what do you say? What don't you provide us with those funds so that you can come chill with me at the loft? I really like this idea. This is close to home here in White'sboro. We're facing the same type of situation. Our average age in the congregation is older. We're really trying to reach out to those young adults and it's hard to do that. So we're going through a lot of the same stuff. What age range are you talking about whenever you talk about young adults? We want to focus on 18 and up to 35 years old but we're not rolling out completely going a little bit under the age of 18 just because of the area that we are in. Well I mean obviously church attendance is down nationwide and that's the only way that we're going to build it back up on doing that. I have four boys myself, all young adults, two of them recently married and I think it's important that you focus on young married couples as well to get them in the church so that their kids are going to grow up in the church. So I mean I'll jump in right now for $2,500 to you guys. I think it's a good project. Thank you. Thank you very much. But I would give you this advice. You need to go ask for money because there's money out there, not just here. But one thing you need to do in your application is be very detailed. So you kind of had your furniture. You had a budget but it was the two budgets didn't match exactly but get your budget very detailed on how you want to remodel that room and down to the dollar. I mean and then when you're talking to someone and asking for money the more details the better. So you want to do that and if you say you know if you say my remodel is going to be $1250 and I'm going to spend $3,000 on furniture and it ends up your remodel is $3,000 and you spend $1250 on furniture that's fine just when you read me with whoever you're working with just telling me here's what happened and why. So the communication about the details and communication when you're asking for money is very important. I think you have a really good concept. I think you have a good plan. That would be my advice though is when you're go ask for money and put that detail in there and don't worry if it's not right. Your things are going to happen where it doesn't work out like you thought and you're going to spend money where you didn't think you would. But then when you come back say here's what happened here's where we spent it and here's why and here's what I need now. So I don't know if this invests for me but that's the advice I'd give you and I think you're on a good path. Thank you sir. I also want to add I really am so touched by your both your passion your church's passion for young adults. I also want to just encourage you that even if the loft is not fully renovated might there be another possibility to gather some young adults by invitation and go out to a restaurant and have a devotional and a light meal there together and have that going on while the renovation is happening in your space. And so so that way you know don't wait for the space to be up and running before starting young adults ministry. It sounds like you all have some young adults already. This proposal was put together by four of our young adults of the church. So it is not it's not the older members are the long term established members who say we want to reach this population. It's the young adults themselves who thought about it and developed it and brought it forward. It's a good grassroots start for sure. So we do have some young adults and they're very excited about reaching out to their friends and other persons activating this group. So as Mark Cuban would say he's going to start the 24 second clock and 24 seconds. Can you tell us how you're going to reach these young adults? What's your marketing plan? I agree with you that the budget wasn't very clear. So what are you going to do to reach these people? So we want to implement a plan that's called invite one. So everybody has somebody that will invite. So that's that's our main goal of reaching out is just doing once have to say that hey we'll meet these days and just invite somebody. Don't even say that. Don't tell them that we're going to the church. Just say hey we were inviting you to go bowling. We want to start meeting and creating those relationships outside a church and then move them into church. And then that's how we would start our our plan. And then after that we would from those invite one people we want to give them something about what it means to be a disciple of Christ what it means to evangelize so that we they can multiply and one friend reaches one friend and that friend knows another friend and it'll kind of be like a tree. I want to join Greg in on investing in this project at $2,500 as well. I think the value add I would bring to to this vision is I've been involved in youth and young adult ministry my whole career and would love to articulate what it might look like for for some developmentally appropriate ways to connect with with this community especially if you're dipping under 18 and some of the developmental differences that that would need to be there. I'm excited about joining joining this because of the biliterate bicultural bilingual way of being that that custom and well is bringing to the to the table. So I'm really excited about this and with Greg's help I think we could probably have a wonderful support system for you as you get this launched. That would be great. That's great. Well we're 50 percent. What would you like to see for for a full hundred percent funding of this? The last row of raw muffins. I love that you have the courage to ask for the rest. You got to keep looking you got to keep asking don't you? Well I think you got two great charts besides the funding you have two great charts that are going to be working with you helping you develop and develop this idea and also giving you guidelines and guidance on how to actually get that more funding that you might need and might be looking for. We appreciate your idea. Gracias. I appreciate that you're here. We appreciate that you're trying to reach that young adult because they are key in helping grow the church and with that we appreciate that you're coming and you're here with us. Thank you. Fantastic. Thank you very much. We're going to Disneyland. No, it feels wonderful. Yes, we're so thankful, thankful for their support, their excitement and their encouragement. We are looking forward to being able to use those funds to start this new ministry for young adults at Casa Manuel. Yeah, we really have some charts that really support and what we're doing. We have a chart that kind of relates to what's going on and it's kind of on the same boat with the same church that we need to grow our young adults and we also have a chart that has worked with young adults and youth for many many years so their their their input is going to be phenomenal. Next into the tank is the Reverend Melissa Hatch of Button Memorial United Methodist Church. Their Buttons and Bowes foster closet will serve foster families in the area equipping them with clothes supplies and support as they care for children in need. Our desire is to help foster families and we're going to start with the foster closet although we have an idea that we think will will grow well beyond just a closet but at its initial stage it'll be making new and gently worn clothing available to foster families for free. Foster closets have been something we've been blessed with over the years that we've been fostering and we wanted to bring one closer to home and bless other people how we've been blessed. And the hope is is that it will grow from there that it will be a community of support and she says one of the things that has been hard is to be able to have those conversations with other foster families and so hopefully we'll do some small groups or maybe bring in some speakers that can come and be a nurturing part of their their families and really create a community where they know that they're supported not only by us but each other. Good afternoon sharks. Good afternoon. I'm here today to tell you a cautionary tale. A warning. Our God answers prayers so be careful what you pray for. Case in point on Sunday September 18th 2022 our pastor Melissa asked our congregation to dream big.  Jordan and her partner Rachel did exactly that and dreamed big. They dreamed about a foster closet. Do you know there are over 3,000 children in foster care in the in the metro place? It's amazing right that 900 in Dallas County 800 in Tarrant County there are 200 foster families in Denton County alone. That's where our church is located. New places. Our project is to start a foster closet. In our church what is a foster closet? A foster closet is a place making new and gently worn clothing available to foster families for no cost. Leading regularly absolutely. The foster closet will be open once a month on Saturday morning or by appointment as needed. Discipleship absolutely. We will build a Christian community among the foster families of our barrier. It's our vision to be a concierge service for foster families. It starts with a foster closet but as we offer as we start to connect and grow the foster closet we will offer support for the families. These support groups that's one of the key concepts we're working towards support groups. What Jordan has shared with us is that foster parents need safe encouraging empathetic Christian connection. We offer our space for that purpose. Beyond that we offer training for foster families. We will invite hosts. We'll host speakers that come in and talk to us about parenting, the joy of fostering, etc. These foster parents are truly angels. They're truly being paid a feat of Jesus in our world. I have some questions. I'm mentioning myself on the foster parent currently and so is my husband. I'm aware that there's services available to foster parents that come through various agencies. What can your new space ministry provide for foster parents that other agencies might not be able to help out with? Given that time is very difficult for foster parents with all the home visits, all the recarvest routines and all that. What can be the invitation that will help a busy foster mom be thinking like, oh, this is something I want to try out? We do have an agency and we get lots of support for our agency. I've told them before, too, there's lots of places on social media for foster parents to connect and things like that. But I think it's a little bit different when you actually get to sit in front of someone face to face and talk to them about things that you go through and say understand. And I think sometimes that gets lost behind a keyboard when you're on social media and your agency understands to an extent, but they're not in the trenches with you, per se, day in and day out as a foster parent.  I think there's a level of flexibility, too, we can offer. So if there's a scheduling issue or just a need, if we need to drive someone, to take close to someone, things of that nature, all that stuff is another realm of possibilities. Right now, the closest foster closet to us is in Wiley, which is what, 30, 40 miles away? I think one of the things that we offer is it's a Christian-based. It's a place where we will have people available to pray in with a foster family that maybe they're getting ready to have to give their foster kids back. And they're going through a tough time. We've walked out with Rachel and Jordan just two days before Mother's Day and we walked that journey with them. And that's probably not the support she got from her agency, but it's the place that she got support from her church family. So while it's not necessarily indicated that we want everybody to join the church, but that could happen. And so we offer a Christian-based environment where that support can be given, where love can be given. We've already taken on that several of us will consider being trained through the foster care system. So moms come or dads come with their foster kids that will have trained into this list that can watch their kids while they shop, while they sit and talk, have coffee, whatever it is. And that's a huge thing too, because our family alone, I think both of our moms are trained and then we have one friend on each side that's trained. Other than that, we don't have anybody that can babysit for us. And I've seen that a lot on the foster care side, because people are constantly asking for people to do respite and things like that. So it would be nice to have more people to lean on and trust with our kiddos. I know as time goes on, there's adaptability just to see what's needed by the people who come, by the parents who come. How will this deepen the discipleship of the foster moms and dads who come? How will that create more of an intentional Christian community and help them to get to know Jesus more? Well, I think down the road we can offer small grief industries, Bible studies, parents night out certainly is a way that parents can connect and then we keep their kids. But to be able to have those small groups where parents get to connect with each other, so maybe that's in the form of almost like a celebrate recovery around round tables where people get to sit there and talk about a subject. Maybe that subject is about Christian parenting. Maybe it's not. I think we have to start where people are and I think oftentimes, and when we start new ministries, we want to go too far and we want to go, we got to get them into the door and have them join the church because if they're not joining our numbers, we aren't doing anything. And unfortunately as a conference, we get judged on our numbers. But I think it's the lines that we make a difference with. So whether they join the church or not is not what's our basis. And it's our basis to share them with them the love of Christ. That we love them and we support them and we want to walk with them on this journey and make that easier in any way possible. In my discovery going through this journey right now is that there is still stigma in our societies in the foster care system about the kids who are not wanted, which is not true. They just need the right home for the right time, I guess. I don't have a good word for that. And by no means am I judging any system or commenting on that. But I just want to share with you, I really applaud your effort. And when I, when I reviewed your application, I teared the pletka down. That's true. That's true. So before I cry all the way out, so let's start laughing. I will devote $2,500 and invest and walk alongside with you on the right queue. Thank you. And what a blessing that you have that hands-on experience. I could not foster a puppy. So I know this figure request for the budget was pretty broad and not very specific from $5,000 to $10,000.  In our community, we have a lot of grandparents that aren't official foster parents, but that's what they're doing because their children are drug addicted whenever they're raising their grandchildren. Have you considered expanding the ministry to reach a little beyond just fall starved? And then my second question of that is what specifically is the money used for? I have to, working in many volunteer capacities and going through clothing, I want these kids to have new clothes. Gently used is great, but there's something to be said. When a kid goes into like a CPS system, I've seen the trash bags that they've come out of their houses with at last minute and they don't have anything that's new. So while we could start this grassroots and do donations and gently use clothing that we wash, which is great, I would love to start this with new stuff and new clothing is expensive. So we'd like to buy, we don't have like much churches, we don't have a lot of storage space, so we're going to have to be creative. And Jordan helped us think about creative ways to do that. Find those big plastic tubs that they can be sorted in and stacked in various areas, probably in our sanctuary choir left right now, no one will know that. But we want to purchase clothing. We want to purchase clothing racks. That's the initial expense. And in terms of like grandparents and those kinds of situations, yeah, I think that applies to this as well. In terms of some of the parenting sort of, you know, Christian based support groups from a parenting perspective. It's a tough front, right? And navigating life as a Christian as a grandparent, taking care of your grandchildren as a full-time parent. I mean, that's, there's some challenges there. And I think that's some, but there's also a tremendous amount of wisdom, I suspect, and experience we can tap into. So just to build a community where there's just this theme of Christian parenting is pretty cool. To kind of add on to what they're saying, the foster closet that has blessed us the most. And I know the other one as well. They typically cater to younger ages because the younger ones don't understand when something's not new or anything like that. So you don't see older kids or teenagers or anything like that at these foster closets. So we would like to reach out to other ages and older kids want new things that in these kiddos have been through so much. They deserve something good. So we'd like to reach them as well. So I think it's a good presentation. And I think the word, the concept of a concierge for foster families is a good way to put it. Because that shows that you've got a plan to grow and do more down the road as you develop this. I think that's a good thing to say. One question I had and said you wanted to focus on families within 20 miles of your church. Do you have any idea what that number is within 20 miles? I think that was in your application. I think, well, you said that there are 200 foster families just in Denton County, which is a larger area. I don't know that we have the specific numbers within 20 miles. Well, I'd like to give $2,500 to your efforts there. And the one thing that I want to ask as we move forward in talking about stuff is sort of like what Dennis said, I think it's really important to get very specific on your budget and understand once you know what you have, then you can do that. But I think that's a really big first step and planning and de-organize them intentional. But I'm excited and I think you have a great time.  Thank you very much. I'd like to join Phil and Sylvia with $2,500 as well. One of the gifts that COVID brought my life is partnering with a psychologist and pediatrician. We launched Parenting for the Present, which is now a non-profit where we're trying to connect with parents, especially of younger children, to develop a wider understanding of what it looks like to have a holistic child development into adolescent development, adult development program focused on body, mind, spirit. So not only what I'd like to offer what I have is the $2,500, but if there's anything that I could do along with Matthew Hausen and Dr. Early Denison to walk alongside you in some parent education and how that might be framed and be an encouragement to you and then maybe also amplify that marketing through our podcast and also further reach into connecting with more parents in more profound ways. Thank you all so much for this amazing presentation. Thank you. Praise God. That's awesome. I'm real curious and I've been watching you and there's a lot of emotion in your eyes. Yes. The weird script. What does this mean to you? We're sorry. That's okay. It means everything because these kids have got there so much. They're real parents have not seen them since they left the hospital. Then we would love nothing more than for them to be ours. But we have been blessed so much by other foster calls. I wish she knows this. Oh, please. We got a call and they were in our house within an hour. So being able to have a place for other families to go with that same situation means the world to us because we have been more blessed than I can ever tell you by these places. Dustin, you've gotten bassinets, crimps, things that you can't even imagine from these places. So we want to share that with other people. What I can offer is a lot of prayer. I think what you're doing is amazing and I applaud you because not many people have the courage to do that. I think it's really, it's cool. It is. So anyway. Well, congratulations. You're walking away with three charts and $7,500 in grants. We appreciate your time and effort, your heartfelt application and presentation. We're all in prayers for this, not just this space, but also for you as a family. And we appreciate again being here. Thank you so much. Thank you. Great. Anybody want to look at the baby soap? We feel great. I'm so elated. Excited. Answer to prayer. Bless. We have a fellow foster parent. That's really exciting. We have someone that's got connections to places that we can use for speakers and really create a, what did he say, mind, body, spirit? He actually had a whole, like he created this seems like the answer to prayers. It seems like the perfect person that has sort of already kind of thought out how to do the support groups from a Christian foundational basis. I mean, that's exactly what we were looking for. And then someone that can help us put some numbers and thought behind our budget and making sure that we're using being a good steward with what we've been given and go from there. Now we gotta go to work. Unfortunately. Yes. Now the real work starts, but we're thrilled. We're really, this is what a wonderful experience, asked a lot of great questions. I'm excited. We're thrilled to have professionals working with us. We're thrilled to get this started. So come check us out in Little Elm.  We'll see you there soon.


In today's session, we are going to see a stable multi-operator using IC-555 timer. At the end of today's session, students will be able to explain IC-555 timer as a stable multi-operator with the help of circuit diagram and output signal waveform. These are the contents of today's presentation. An stable multi-operator also known as free-running multi-operator generates a rectangular wave signal of required frequency. This multi-operator does not require any external trigger signal to change the state of output signal. Hence, it is known as free-running multi-operator. As no any state of output signal is stable, that is why this multi-operator is known as a stable multi-operator. This circuit is designed by connecting two external registers and a single capacitor to basic IC-555 timer IC as shown in Figure 1. Now, this figure shows the circuit diagram for a stable multi-operator using IC-555 timer, the two registers RA and RB and a single capacitor connected between pin number 6, 2 and ground. And additional capacitor C1 is connected between pin number 5 and ground. And output is taken from pin number 3. With reference to Figure 1, pin number 1 is connected to ground, pin number 4 and pin number 8 are shorted together and then connected to plus Vcc, DC power supply voltage. The output is taken from pin number 3. Pin number 6 and pin number 2, those are three-should input for upper comparator and trigger input for lower comparator are shorted together and then connected to ground through external capacitor C. Pin number 7 is connected to plus Vcc through external register RE. Register RB is connected between pin number 6 and pin number 7. At pin number 5, additional bypass capacitor of 0.01 microfarad is connected with respect to ground to avoid any noise problem. Now this is another circuit diagram. Figure number 2 can be used to discuss the working of a stable multi-operator using IC-555. This figure includes internal functional block diagram of IC-555 with external components register RA, RB and C. As shown in Figure 2, when Q output of internal flip-flop is at low or that is the timer output is at high voltage level, the external, the internal register transistor is off and external capacitor C starts charging towards plus Vcc through register RA and RB. The charging time constant of capacitor is RA plus RB into C. As C charges, the voltage across capacitor goes on increasing that is applied to non-invoting input of upper comparator that is three-should voltage increases as shown in Figure 3. After some time, a three-should voltage across a capacitor just exceeds a two-thread Vcc. The output of upper comparator that is comparator 1 becomes high so this sets internal flip-flop so that its Q output becomes high and Q bar output becomes low. So Q bar output of internal flip-flop so that is nothing but the final output of IC-555 timer so timer output becomes low. Students should pause video here and think or how does timer output becomes high again with Q output of internal flip-flop is at high voltage level the internal transistor that is discharge transistor is turned on and P number 7 is grounded through discharge transistor. So external capacitor C charges through register RB, discharges through register RB with discharging time constant RB into C with C discharging the trigger voltage at P number 2 that is voltage across capacitor goes on decreasing as capacitor discharges. So that is applied to inverting input of a lower comparator 2. So the trigger voltage at inverting input of comparator 2 decreases when it becomes just less than one-third Vcc so output of comparator 2 becomes high. So this resets internal flip-flop its Q output becomes low and its Q bar output becomes high so Q bar output of internal flip-flop that is a timer output available at P number 3. So output signal of IC-555 will be at high voltage level thus the timer output state automatically changes from low voltage level to high voltage level. Again from high voltage level to low voltage level as shown in figure 3 and this is repeated continuously and we are getting continuous rectangular signal at the timer output. This figure 3 shows the output waveform for a stable multivibrator using IC-555 the upper waveform is for output signal of IC-555 so output voltage signal changes between 2 voltage levels high voltage levels that is approximately equal to plus Vcc and a low voltage level that is nearly 0 voltage level and the second waveform lower waveform is for the voltage appearing across external capacitor. The external capacitor charges from one-third Vcc to two-third Vcc so voltage across capacitor goes on increasing from one-third Vcc to two-third Vcc during which the timer output remains at high voltage level when the capacitor voltage just exceeds two-third Vcc again the internal transistor becomes on and so capacitor discharges. So capacitor discharges from two-third Vcc up to one-third Vcc when voltage across capacitor just falls below one-third Vcc again the internal comparator 2 switches internal flip-flop so that it is cuber output becomes high cuber output becomes high and the final timer output becomes high so as the voltage across capacitor just falls one-third Vcc again the timer output becomes high. So, Tc is the time duration for which C charges from one-third Vcc to two-third Vcc and Td is the time duration for which the C discharges from two-third Vcc to one-third Vcc the frequency of output signal depends on the values of external components like resistor RA, RB and capacitor C the time duration in which C charges from one-third Vcc to two-third Vcc is equal to the time for which the output is high it is given by Tc Tc stands for charging time that is Tc is equal to 0.693 into RA plus RB into C the time duration in which C discharges from two-third Vcc to one-third Vcc is equal to the time for which the output is low so the discharging time is given by Td is equal to 0.693 into RB into C the time period of output signal is given by the total time duration for charging of capacitor and discharging of capacitor charging time interval plus discharging time interval T is equal to Tc plus Td so total time period is equal to T equal to 0.693 into RA plus 2 RB into C seconds the frequency of output signal that is continuous oscillations is given by the frequency is reciprocal of a time period so f equal to 1 upon T is equal to 1 upon 0.693 into RA plus 2 RB into C so that is equal to 1.44 upon RA plus 2 RB into C the time period T of output signal of Ic triple fire timer is independent of plus Vcc DC power supply voltage we can express a duty cycle of Ic triple fire timer signal the duty cycle of output signal is the ratio of time Tc during which the output is at a high voltage level to the total time period of output signal it is given by a percentage D is equal to Tc upon T multiplied by 100 the Tc stands for charging time and T stands for total time period of output signal so percentage D D stands for duty cycle is equal to RA plus RB divided by RA plus 2 RB multiplied by 100 this is a reference thank you.


A couple though, honestly, I don't try to wear flip-flops a lot. Like they mess on my feet, so I try to just wear shoes around the house. You guys have been going up against, obviously, the receiving core pretty much every day. I wonder what your impressions of how they've kind of grown as a group, and maybe Robert Woods in particular? Yeah, I mean, I've said from the beginning, Robert Woods has looked great. I guess I've been more impressed with Nick Westbrook, his progression. He's kind of, I mean, obviously, Kyle Phillips has been like Ryan's go-to receiver in two men in a lot of different situations. Obviously, Gracie has emerged as a deep threat. But I've just been impressed with a lot of the younger guys. And like you said, more often than not, just Kyle Phillips coming in as a rookie, being a really good run-up, polished, and giving guys a lot of trouble. Obviously, you've seen doing joint practices and things like that. So I already knew who Robert Woods was when he came here, but like I said, impressed with Nick and Kyle and Gracie and all these other guys. At Safe Face, in the last week and a half, what's been your impression of some of those guys? Yeah, so, I mean, Ugo, I've trained with Ugo here in Nashville. We trained over at Lipscomb with our trainer, Jeremy Holt, doing a lot of footwork stuff. So I know what kind of athlete he is. Really good feet, good hands, smart DB. Obviously, he's played nickel. I think he was playing a little bit of safety there in Seattle as well. So he's a smart guy, so I know he'll fit right in with our group and what we do. But like you said, man, you know, this is the NFL, man. You know, you have injuries, you have different things like that. You know, certain guys have to move a lot of different positions. And I think that's the benefit of our group having a lot of versatile guys. But if it's a money being able to come down and play a lot of different positions. Theo, who obviously plays some nickel and corner at Tennessee. So we have a lot of guys that can move around and be kind of interchangeable.  They came in and it just seems like right away they're starting to make plays. Yeah, man, it's just the standard that we have in our room. It's like, you know, a new guy comes in. Obviously, you have to give them a couple of days to acclimate, learn where the hot tub and cold tub and stuff is. But when they come in, they understand that once they go out there, you know, they're going to be treated as a one or as a starter when they're out there in the field. So like you said, it's still going to be a learning curve because like I've said this before, our defense is real complex, a lot of details, a lot of small things you really have to know. But I've been impressed with just how well they've come in and even they make mistakes. They respond. They don't make a lot of mistakes twice. So like I said, I've been impressed with that for sure. I guess the last day at camp, does anything change? Does it feel like anything's going to be different?  I mean, I don't want to say too much, but I've been locking in on Giants for a little bit now, watching film, obviously on my own, but also with some of the coaches just kind of just getting the head start. Obviously watching some of their, some of the series, obviously when the ones are out there during the preseason. So obviously I've been looking forward to being able to get ready for the season, you know, so, I mean, obviously this has been a really great training camp and I've been trying to make sure that I'm staying mentally locked in on each day, trying to just take training camp for what it is. But at the same time, doing a little bit of peeking at our opponent ahead. How about this defense as a whole, KB, how ready do you guys feel in the last preseason game? Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think that, you know, talking about previous years, I just think that a lot of the situations that Vraves creates during practice, right, if it's, you know, we talk about, you know, being in a lot of two-minute situations in red zone, 30% of each game. And he creates a lot of situations to put those in those positions during practice. Obviously we do all our full field stuff, but we work a lot of those, those situations, I think just as a whole as a defense, we're way ahead as far as just being knowledgeable of these situations, understanding, hey, if it's a certain amount of clock, that's, you know, if we're in a two-minute situation, there's only 12 seconds or eight seconds and they don't have no timeouts, knowing that they may not be able to clock it, similar to the 49ers and dollars Cobblers and playoffs, but it couldn't clock it. So, and we watch those things every Friday. We watch it a lot. So, I just think just as a whole, just the awareness of our defense has really improved. There's always going to be small things that we're going to have to tweak and as these new guys come in, but just as a whole as a defense, I think we're really learning not necessarily just our defense, but just football as a whole, our IQ has raised a lot. So, I think it's going to help us not only early in the year, but later on as the season, you know, goes on. A lot of these things are going to be the final opportunity for a lot of these guys to make that last impression on the coaching staff to stay here as a veteran who knows he's going to be here. Do you enjoy watching these guys give that kind of effort in the final preseason game? No, absolutely. What do you tell these young guys? Yeah, no, preseason, especially like you said, guys that may have just got here, guys that are still fighting for spots. And I tell them all the time, like, listen, hey, not only are you fighting to make this team, but you're trying to impress all 31 other teams around the league. So, you know, it's not something that like, oh, it's the last game. Thank God. But no, it's like this, you know, you can have the first two games, but this last game should be something, should be a game where you're trying to put your best stuff on film.  I remember my rookie year, I think our last preseason game was against Miami.  Caught a pig as well. I was catching punts, you know what I'm saying, my rookie year.  And as a veteran, I'm going to make sure that if I'm in the game or not, I don't know, but I'm going to make sure that I'm going to be out there rooting those guys on because I understand, you know, these next few days, it could be stressful, you know what I'm saying? You don't know where you stand. You don't know if you're going to get a call. So, just trying to be there for those guys and try to give them as much as knowledge and just, just cheer them on as much as I can. Kevin, you've been in this league long enough to know that there's no guarantees with anything. You've gone nine and seven and gone to the ASC Championship at 12 and five and one done. How much do you stress to the younger guys now that it has to happen this year? Is there, there's no guarantees for tomorrow? Yeah, I mean, I don't, I try for the young guys. I try not to put that much pressure on them.  So try to take advantage of every opportunity. And I guess that's something that I would tell the young guys, take advantage of every opportunity, no matter if it's a pre-season game or if it's just a practice rep, if it's one-on-ones or whatever it may be, just take full advantage of every opportunity. And who knows if, who knows we'll have another opportunity to go to the playoffs or something like that. So obviously last year was behind us, but at the end of the day, this is a new year. Who knows if this team is obviously not gonna be the same as it is gonna be the years from now or whatever or from last year. So teams are gonna change. Who knows what's gonna happen next year. So let's lock in on this year and play this year. Like it's gonna be our last, everybody's last year. Since off-season and rookie camp and so forth.  You know, I think he was in a protocol or whatever, something like that. But, you know, just as a young player, and obviously like I said, he played corner in nickel at UT. So he's been able to do a little bit of both here just during training camp. We had some injuries. So I've been impressed with just how smart he is in the classroom, as complex as our defense is. He knows a lot and he's able to answer the right questions. And obviously just going here trying to learn what we do. I've been impressed with just, you know, everything part of his game. But if it's man coverage, playing zone, cause like I said for a young state to being able to go out there and communicate, it's new for these guys, you know? Cause a lot of times in colleges, two by two, three by one, and you just line up and play ball. But we have so many checks and things like that and our defense, but I've been impressed with him, especially coming off of the protocol. He's been pretty much came right back in and, you know, it's really no lag in his game or anything like that. KB, where have you seen Amani take strides from last year and how do you maybe, or I guess what are kind of your expectations for him coming off of, you know, his first year as a full-time starter? Yeah, my expectation for Amani is very high. I mean, I think he has the same expectations. Obviously we both, you know, feel like as far as the secondary, we're the leaders of the secondary. And we feel like every single day we got to bring, you know, bring that standard and make sure that we're holding guys accountable but holding ourselves accountable first. I think Amani has really tried to work on every part of his game. I know with some, we talked about the off-season world and working his man coverage and things like that. And I think he's done that very well. But like I said, I expect, you know, I don't want to put nothing on there.  But I know just by the conversations we've had in the locker room, you know, I'm expecting him, obviously with him, his contract, being up at the end of this year, you know, I expect a great year for him, for him to be able to, you know, take that next step to be able to take care of his family, rather than be here or whatever it may be. Obviously I want to play with Amani as long as I can, but I told him that like, hey, this is a contract year for you, go out there and make those splash plays and make as many plays as you can.  You know what I'm saying? The corners are obviously a young group out there. What do you think the strength is of that group? I mean, I think they all can cover. I think Christian can cover. I think Caleb can cover. Roger McCreary can cover. Every guy that we thought there are pretty good cover guys, even Greg, maybe who's been here, you know, has stints in and out of here, but I think we all can cover. So anytime you can have three good corners out there, regardless of who's out on the field first or who's not, that's always going to be a bonus, especially for guys at safety that we can go out there and pretty much be freelancers, especially with the passwords that we have. You know, this is a huge benefit for us. So looking forward for those guys or looking forward to those guys being able to go out there and make as many plays and be sticky in coverage. I think that's one of the probably the main attributes of those guys, they're all sticky. Well, you get kind of in a pinch here when guys start going down and, you know, he's played in there. You know, he's got a good experience. I think that there's some physicality that shows up. He triggers in a run game. He's blitzed. So, you know, those are all things that, you know, as teams start to trend more towards, you know, 11 personnel and playing with three wide receivers on the field, you know, we have to make sure that we have enough of those guys that have played in there. Mike, obviously Saturday's going to be the last chance for a lot of guys to make an impression on you and the staff to try to stay here. Do you enjoy seeing that effort from those guys in that last pre-season game? I know you're obviously going to be busy handling stuff, but is that something you pay attention to?   Come to balance one-on-ones. You mentioned the Dez. You've seen him try the same thing a lot of the time. How much would you like to see some variety from him and can he help himself there? Yeah, I was just trying to find a way to win in the open field. What are the veteran safeties at Shibini, Johnson, Gillespie? What is behind, like, kind of stockpiling so many veteran guys? Like, what do you like in those guys?  AJ's been unavailable. You know, we've seen flashes from each of those guys and so we've had in the history of being here for guys maybe not to stick somewhere else and come and find a role in our football team for whatever reason, you know, so we'll give them every opportunity.  We just focus on what they do while they're here and so, you know, we coach them up and see who improves in our system, what contributions they can make and help them define a role for themselves on the team. This is the last official day of camp and we'll change this maybe from a time standpoint, focus standpoint moving forward. Well, I mean, I think we'll transition normally, try to transition back to our regular season schedule, getting in there, meeting in the mornings, putting them through those meetings, starting a game plan, you know, starting to do that and then practice, you know, around noon or whenever that may be, which is usually our in-season schedule, meet afterwards and then get them out. It's a little bit of both. It's a little bit of both. Aside from any numbers, results or anything, what have you seen Malik improve on over the last two and a half weeks or so and now he's got a couple of games under his belt?  I've seen him work through his progression. I've seen him improve his timing and then I've seen him, you know, being able to slide up in the pocket, you know, he hit Hassan when he slid up and then he slid up and was able to attack the defense and that's where you can make a lot of damage, you know, in this league.  How much is his footwork and throw in motion improved over the course of this camp from going back to when you have grabbed him? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? It's just a daily progression.  So there's been a lot of improvement and we just are going to keep working and, you know, excited for him on Saturday as well. In the hurricane situation that Nick made the catch, he sprinted the ball back out. Then he and Robert were talking with the officials. What's the situation there in terms of saving time versus a cable doesn't come into the game? Cable does not.  They're not going to come in there because, you know, God love these guys but they officiate for a reason. So the ball gets dropped and then they have to stop it. And the last thing that anybody wants is them stopping the clock in that situation to give one team an advantage or the other. So those are all things that we're working and I had a conversation with the officials here. This is the situation that we're in. They would only ask for a new ball, you know, if the clock is stopped, you know, it's hot out and sometimes the ball gets sweaty. So we changed the ball when it was, you know, the clock was stopped. But in that situation with the clock running, you know, they're going to use that ball that, you know, was in play. That's a guy with the will is with that mobility or even with Tannehill for that matter, you know, to be able to extend and go off schedule. You like to work on situations.   Kyler extended the play, got out of the pocket. You know, we got two guys out of the back of the end zone, which I could show the team, like that's exactly what we want to do when a quarterback's out of the pocket.  And we have to do more of that. We've got to build more of that in so that our defense can match, you know, if we're in zone, we're going to have to match guys that are in our zone, plaster receivers are going to have to show up where, you know, the quarterback and our offense or whatever the plan is, you know, you got guys showing up in different spots based on where the quarterback moves. So that's all good work.  Would it benefit of your offense because Tannehill has the right to do that?  You know what I mean?  But if there's a chance that something breaks down as opposed to sitting in there and, you know, taking a sack, we would obviously, we're throwing it away, you know, get out on the edge and see what's there, press the line of scrimmage and make good decisions. When guys are running carded plays, you want them to kind of just get a sense and have football knowledge of what it means there as opposed to running a scrimmage? I've always said that, you know, that the card is a guideline. You know, a lot of the calls are similar. I would like to use our own terminology when we can for all three phases, when we're working off of a card and use it as a guideline and then go play football, you know, whatever the technique requires.  Haskins had that one run in the red zone where he had two chances to bounce outside, didn't, made the first guy miss and then finished the run through two tacklers. What did that tell you about him and... Well, that I think he knows who he is. You know, he's not, he's not Derek. He's not going to be able to probably circle him up.  And so sometimes he breaks outside and sometimes, you know, good things happen. But I think Hassan knows who he is and knows that I'm going to put my foot in the ground and I'm going to get downhill.  Derek said that he was on the plan. Obviously during training camp, you've had him out there in team periods the last couple of days. What have you seen from him? And he had an acceleration right there. It looked like normal Derek. Just how well is he coming along at this point? Yeah, I mean, I think he's on schedule. I think that he's into it. He's mentally into it. He wants to do whatever he can do to help the football team.  So he doesn't cause a backup on 440.


The alumni body of the secondary school, Uludipapapaz, could donate their educational equipment to the alma mater in celebration of its 40th anniversary. Now, the former students have plans to champion school development projects with the national president, Dr. Ulu Akinte, emphasizing the importance of driving educational development for younger students to achieve high morale and academic excellence. Now, Dr. Akinte owes former students to provide hope and support for the current students in the school, even the falling standards of education and decaying facilities. In terms of academic in my time, there is a lot of seriousness, there is a lot of dissimilarity from the school. You know, you don't come late to the school. You know, I can see some coming to the system, coming as far as 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock. That kind of thing does not happen in my time. And the teaching in my time is quality. The standard is high. And that is also one of the reasons we are coming together to see how we can also improve the standard of the school to the way it's supposed to be. So in my time, things were really, really, really good. The secondary school is a mixed school, is a mixed gender school where we have men and women in our days in the school. There was actually this kind of competition between the men and the women on who came first or who could outsmart the other. In my own days, we had the men, actually, we had the first, the first and second positions were dominated by men. Then when you talk about the third from third to fifth, third to even tenths, you now see men, the male and the female trying to slug it out. But then there was a kind of harmony. When in our growing days, there was a kind of teamwork. The Commissioner of Basic Education, Lagos State, will be around here to commission an ultra-modern home economy slab. The first of its kind in Lagos State. Even private schools don't have this kind of home economy slab. And then there are other gifts, items that will also be presented to the school. That we aid teaching. So that's for today. So we're expecting the Commissioner of Education. And then tomorrow will be the grand finale where we'll also be launching and unveiling our proposed school auditorium. So 300 capacity school auditorium that we intend, us students, we intend to be for the school. And the whole play administration, of course, will do. It's in a secondary school. So it won't last. And it is more or less a way forward. It is a system of government, because we have to be victorious because it cannot go wrong. And this is what we are expecting from now only the whole play administration for all other end-use and then to take that out there that can make it different in our educational governance. They come together and then get us going home. Then we'll be highly-clad, welcome.


It's time for the Lawn Jean Chronoscope, a television journal of the important issues of the hour, brought to you every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a presentation of the Lawn Jean Wittner Watch Company, maker of Lawn Jean, the world's most honored watch, and Wittner, distinguished companion to the world honored Lawn Jean. Good evening. This is Frank Knight. May I introduce our co-editors for this edition of the Lawn Jean Chronoscope. Mr. William Bradford Huey, author and analyst, and Mr. Hardy Burt, author and correspondent. Our distinguished guest for this evening is Dr. Howard Russ, chairman of the American Korean Rehabilitation Commission. Dr. Russ, we're fortunate this evening in that you have just returned from Korea, and you can give us a first-hand report on some of those, some of the interesting things there. First of all, our viewers are most interested about the prospects for peace in the audience, or how do you feel yourself about the prospects for peaceful settlement? Well, I'm not an expert in that line, but it certainly is very heartening to me. It seems to me that this is one step that we must make. And in my own heart, I can't help but feel hopeful about it.  But first of all, sir, what can you tell our viewers about the medical care of our own GIs in Korea? Well, I am particularly interested in that because having served in the Air Force in the last war and still being in the medical service, I had an opportunity to visit a number of our military hospitals in Korea, and never in the history of the world have soldiers gotten as good care, as prompt care, with as low mortality rates, and as little suffering. Have we improved over our medical techniques in the Second World War? Oh, very definitely. Our record is very much better. And especially the air evacuation with helicopter and plane and hospital ships, hospital trains, and trained mobile surgical units right behind the lines, and then back to Tokyo where everything is available. The soldier who's hit on the front lines now in Korea has the best chance of surviving that he's ever had, that anybody's ever had in any war. Doctor, since you just came back from Korea, there have been, you can give us a little report on this, perhaps. I know that you say you're not a military expert, but you must have observed something there. There have been quite a lot of reports about an ammunition shortage over there, which would be a very serious thing, of course. Did you see any signs of an ammunition shortage while you were in Korea? Well, I can only quote General Maxwell Taylor on that particular point, and at dinner some two weeks ago, he said this. He said, I have never known a commander who had enough ammunition. Ammunition is like money in the bank. You spend it when you need it. He said, I have all that I need to spend, and plenty in reserve for any foreseeable contingents. Well, that's a real issue right now. There's a second big issue in this country today, so far as Korea is concerned. The thought of the South Koreans backing up the American troops, what kind of soldiers do you think they'll make? Oh, observation. Then I can speak very forcibly on. I don't think many people realize the tremendous tempo of training that's going on in the Rock Army in Korea at the present time. We have 16 service schools in Korea. We have a little Fort Benning and a little Fort Knox in the medical service school, and the tempo of training is tremendous. And these boys, when they go to the front now, you remember in the early days of the war, they were going up with only five days of training. Do the American troops themselves have confidence in the South Korean troops, the soldiers? Terrific. In many of the squads up front, there are two Korean boys and the American squads, and they're on the buddy system. And I heard a number of officers told me that the Koreans were so accurate with their artillery that very often our troops ask that their artillery support come from their Korean comrades. Well, Dr., of course, the purpose of your mission to Korea was to lay plans for the rehabilitation of the civilian population of Korea. Is that correct? That's right. Our mission went over to see what the needs were, and we knew before we went that they were great, but we had no idea until we saw how great. Can you illustrate for our viewers, sir, can you tell us something about the extent of civilian suffering in Korea? Well, of course, you know, first Korea's been fought over five times. 600,000 houses have been destroyed. There are 100,000 counted orphans. There are 7 million refugees. Speaking of those orphans, I've seen pictures in various magazines and in the press about these homeless rapes by the roadside that the soldiers would pick up. Are there many of these stray children there? There are a good many, especially in the refugee centers like Busan. There's a tremendous health problem in Korea, and the first place I'd like to say that I think they've done the greatest public health job under the greatest odds in modern history. Typhoid, malaria, typhus, smallpox are all under control. Berkulosis is a great problem. There's been no great epidemics. No, but seven and a half percent of the population have tuberculosis. That's the 1,600,000 people, and 400,000 are acutely ill with tuberculosis and no hospital beds. There are only 850 trained Korean doctors in civilian life today for 19 million people. That's one for every 23,000. Is our military organization able to assist the civilian population in giving medical assistance? They've done a wonderful job. There isn't a clinic or I mean a clinic for Korean civilians that our doctors don't go and work after hours. They come in our hospitals when beds are available. Now a training program has been set up for young rock army surgeons. Half the teaching in the medical schools are being done off hours by American doctors. I was in one briefing with a two-star general, and at five o'clock a major got up in the back and held up his hand. He said, may I be excused? And the general said, yes, what for? He said, I have to go and teach my class the medical school. He said, you're excused. When he went out, he said that man has taught a class every day from five to six, five days a week for over eight months and never missed a day. How about the individual GIs? Do they recognize the plight of the South Koreans and try to help them out in an individual way? That was one of the most moving things that you see in Korea. They feel toward them as their comrades in arms. They recognize their plight. There is an outfit over there that doesn't have an orphanage or a hospital or a group of orphans or somebody. They're helping. One of the biggest sales items in the PX today are care packages of powdered milk and powdered eggs, specially made up so the GIs can buy them and give them to the Koreans. Well, and this is sort of a new precedent really because historically, armies have never gotten along with civilian populations, particularly foreign armies. Now, would you say these people are getting along well? The GIs are getting along very well with the South Korean people? Remarkably well, and I think I know a lot. In many ways, they're like us. They're rugged individuals. They're tall, strong people. Someone has said that they're the Irish of the Orient. I told that to a Korean friend. He said, you're mistaken. He said, the Irish are the Koreans of Europe. To me, they're sort of a mixture between the Irish and the Finns. They're rugged individuals and real tough fighters, but our boys respect them and they respect also their problems. Well, our people, perhaps seeing the Koreans in the newsreels, they don't seem to be suffering in the way manner that we've seen other people suffering. Is there any explanation for that, sir? Well, one physician said that you can't diagnose malnutrition unless you strip the patient and you see children in these refugee camps with their cute round faces. You don't recognize the fact that under the rags, they just have a wisp for legs and arms. Well, doctor, you, of course, are making a report on your observations. Now, can you give us some indication of the recommendations you're going to make for relieving this suffering? Well, in the American Korean Foundation, and that's the hyphenated word is both Americans and Koreans, we hope to sort of be the yeast in the bread to be helpful in stimulating and working with some of the United Nations programs, the missionary programs. They've done a terrific job in Korea and the other relief programs. While we were there, we established a rehabilitation center for amputees working with you're supplying them artificial limbs, things that are our foundation is going to supply them trained teachers. The Rock Army are going to furnish the prosthesis in the beginning, the Rock Government, the Rice and Ankara, the teachers and the vocational schools and all together with this team now we we're on the road. What is the principal need for helping these people outside of the fact that it does come from the heart and we always want to help people that are suffering? Well, I think that primarily the American people will want to help because I think that's the best way they can back up the GIs. One boy in the hospital told me that I told my folks not to send me any more food packages. We have plenty of food here and I can get ice cream and anything I want, but send me things that I can help my Korean friends with. I think that's number one and I think this has to be a warm program, a person to person sort of thing because I think that's the way we feel. You see American organizations adopting orphanages and that sort of thing over there. Well, I've talked to two or three meetings, my own staff, the hospital yesterday and the little church I go to in West Chester the day before and both of them want to take an orphanage, the hope of the future of Korea and I think in not an insignificant degree in the free world of the Korean children, most wonderful, eager kids that I ever saw any place. And do you foresee for our viewers who may be interested in this program, sir, just how can they help the individual American? Well, I think 10 cents a day will give a Korean child an additional addition to his diet that makes it adequate. 40 cents will take care of an orphan and feed and clothe and educate him. $200 a year will put a Korean youngster through college. I mean, that's the sort of thing that when I talk about a warm program and I think people will want to know. Well, I'm sure that our viewers appreciate these expressions from you, sir, and thank you for being with us. Thank you. The opinions that you've heard our speakers express tonight have been entirely their own.

When we make a meal for our children, of course, we want to make it balanced and There's been a lot of talk about how much carbohydrate how much protein I think he says eat food Not too much mostly plants. So he suggests making vegetables or fruits take up the biggest part of your plate I think that's absolutely right and one other thing I have to add to that is that Children do not need to eat off of a plate this size. In fact, neither do we in most cases If we go back to smaller size dishes a plate like this that's Covered in food is just as satisfying looks just as appetizing and appealing to a child as a plate this size and A child served on a plate this size will definitely eat more than a child served on a plate this size Drinks are the same. I like to feed my children water for most meals because it's really the best Liquid that they can drink, but if you want to feed your children fresh juice once in a while, that's great Just choose a cup this size.  What if you handed him this and You said here's your juice I can almost guarantee you he'd say wait a minute. That's not full. I want a full cup of juice so think about the sizes of your dishes and Even for the adults in the family This is probably a good-sized dinner plate except when you're having company over and they might think you're a little bit Weird to have such small plates. So When we put together a meal Let's start by thinking what am I gonna serve for my vegetables for this meal? Don't start with the protein start by thinking am I gonna make a stir-fry or am I gonna make steamed vegetables with a white sauce on top? Or am I gonna make a salad as my vegetable and then ask yourself? What would go well with that? Could I make a quick fish in the oven? Could I make some chicken homemade chicken nuggets on the stove for the kids tonight? And after that think about what the starch is gonna be and of course the more whole grain the starch is the better It is for your children So if you can use brown rice instead of white rice or if you can choose quinoa pasta instead of plain white Pasta or even whole wheat pasta if your children can eat wheat then that's much better for them than the processed version Go unprocessed as much as possible with children You will set them up for success And I think the last thing to say about meals is that if even one of the parents can find the time to sit with The children it is amazing what kinds of stories come out during meal time and there's also been a lot of research about the importance of Family meals and how children who have family meals do better in school. They do better socially. They have an outlet for Their thoughts and for their problems and they have a partner in their dialogue. So let's try and sit down Let's remember that we're serving our children more than just nutrients We're serving them love and care and let's try and sit together and talk with them


my name is by Moses or it's by more Navy social media platform and this is Social Friday and this is KOT Open Day and this lady has been trending on Twitter for a while for some of the right reasons and some wrong reasons but she's here to tell her story herself and involve us in some in some discussions concerning Twitter and concerning Kenyans on Twitter she goes by the name Bossy Borey and she's live on Y254 on Y in the morning. Alright so I like to give people a chance to introduce themselves because you never know their alias their AK is so your camera is number four take it away yeah my name is Bossy Borey Nehmer I'm 20 years old and yeah I'm an influencer on Twitter mm-hmm alright so influencer on Twitter as another thing that people don't know about you that you have a whole different whole different life that goes on off Twitter and you do your own thing so Twitter is not your only place but we are not going to be talking about that today all right they'll figure that out on themselves you've been trending for a better part of for a better part of last week and was this a surprise to you first when you saw yourself trending yeah all right so who gave you the news who brought the news yeah that you're trending okay I'm on Twitter I'm on Twitter so you so mentions mentions mentions yeah yeah and they were increasingly the request in a increasingly longer zeka so they were becoming so many and suddenly I noticed on top trends I was trending then slowly it came on Kenan trends and slowly up to number one all right yeah so you saw yourself move up slowly and slowly slowly slowly up to number one yeah all right so your reason for trending and not so many people understand what happened from where you're sitting what's took place in a few words just tell the story briefly so people can get to understand because people have mixed opinions about this you know Chukia not how I do when in any not how do you keep meaning gap and so I'll give you the chance to tell us the story okay yeah I started trending sometime on Saturday it started on Saturday there was an image that I had supposedly was taken on sometime last year when I got a scholarship with a step aside the Nairobi women rep and that image was cropped with the image on my RV profile on Twitter and there's some difference this one on my profile had filters and maker and the other one was yeah and there was some big difference and that was the that was the thing yeah so that is the thing so some people need to get to our online villages online villages work I'm working on the trend work I'm working cool put it people say you were misquoted when you commented on Steve of simple boys post yeah what did you say exactly on the post me come up a co-foundation I come up a co-foundation no I quote oh you quote we're a co-foundation come as well yeah all right so what was your intention when you asked this question like way you see on Twitter they are banters and it's okay with banter unless they go to far and I didn't expect something like that would go to far it was just like a simple comment and of course I apologized and I didn't expect it to hurt someone in a way which did which supposedly did and I regret and I apologize you apologize to this person yeah all right it was a very light question a very innocent question for that matter and you were just trying to create a light moment yeah but things came and blew up on your face you didn't see this coming yeah all right have you seen this happen to another person before it happened to you on Twitter since you're very heavy on Twitter yeah you've seen this happen to us yeah yeah so did you ever imagine it was it would happen to you sometime I expected that because on Twitter okay you're prone to cyberbullying at times and some some I get personal and just I just may just take it to further knowledge like mine okay I didn't expect it to come so personal I just at first when I saw the images I just took it off as a meme and laughed but I think we're just getting out of hand they were getting so personal and that's when I noticed okay this is not okay this is not okay and this should not happen to anybody else yeah alright so moving from this they they say humans are learning creatures yeah so there's so much you've learned from this experience and just by the fact that you walked in here you face up and you're not scared to talk about this people are expecting you to be locked up in your room somewhere but by the mere fact that you came here it means you have learned something and you walked out of this stronger what would you tell first somebody was faced cyberbullying what I can tell someone was faced cyberbullying these things happen they happen and that's not the end of it I believe I believe there's something positive you can come out of it it doesn't you don't have to go to depression just because of cyberbullying it's not worth it the life ahead so being bold and getting all the that's not the end of it there's a future ahead so just just ignore the main comments and just go with the positive and you'll you'll go far yeah so what would you tell the cyberbullies themselves what I'd say what do harm what what have the power to harm destroy they can humble and they can encourage so choose your path to destroy or to bring an impact choose all right so what's up the power to humble to destroy to destroy encourage and encourage yeah so pick a struggle yeah if you want to be the person that destroys like Saturn if you want to be the person that encourages like Jesus or if you want to be the person that builds like God pick a struggle I want to bossy boy yourself how can they find you on Twitter now that we can take advantage of this and get you more following on Twitter since your business is on Twitter as well yeah just look them straight into that I'm at bossy boy underscore ke on Twitter on Facebook bossy boy name and on Instagram bossy boy underscore ke all right so another thing that I just got to learn is that there's no legislation for for prosecuting cyberbullies or reporting cyberbullies there's no law per se and did you did you feel like we need the law when this happened to you yeah okay there are Twitter rules and I believe when you go through through their Twitter rules and regulations you can see there's a part for cyberbullying and I think they have indicated they are working to put more measures under the Twitter rules and regulations all right but this is under Twitter but as as a sovereign state we don't have that do you think it's something that we need as a country or this is going to infringe into our freedom of expression yeah I think we really need it because there's a lot of cyberbullying there's a lot not only on Twitter I'm I mean in other apps too there's a lot on cyberbullying and people hiding behind the keyboards to I think they want to defame it's it does affect real life so cyberbullying can can even lead someone to depression so I believe there should be rules all right last week I had a conversation with the psychologist what's her name but she runs this organization called FaceUp and this application is for for schools or institutions where people can get to report bullying to to to the authorities all right so the app is is very genius but I don't think it can work for for Twitter but what she told me is that bullies have have a problem that they're dealing with personally so that is what she told me bullies have have in common what have you seen that bullies cyberbullies have in common what is that one thing you've seen cyberbullies having in common okay something I've noticed you get these there's a lot of hate or something abiding they've been carrying inside and they just want to throw it on someone yeah so these days they like they come up to do all right yeah energy they have in inside that they'd like to spread out or reduce theirs by spreading spreading to other people yeah so that is something you've noticed with them all right thank you very much for the insight and thank you very much for being strong and thank you very much for sharing your story the next questions are more or less and knowledge best you're going to help understand Twitter a little bit more because people are complaining there's pornography on Twitter is it true and should we be worried about living on kids on Twitter okay pornography on Twitter I believe I believe if there is pornography on Twitter there is a there is a there's a message that comes along this may include sensitive content and I think there's less pornography on Twitter yes I agree there is but there's less and once before viewing it you're told this content may contain all right so Twitter is trying its best to have regulations to to cap this when it comes to pornography and nudity so you're in support of Twitter right there all right we are told there's a lot of deformation on Twitter and this is something you experienced is it something that happens on a daily is it a lot as people pre-seem okay I don't think as a person it's a lot but there is deformation on Twitter but it isn't a lot all right politics on Twitter what do you think about politics on Twitter I believe Twitter Twitter Twitter is an app that's most people have taken advantage to speak to their leaders and yeah there's lots of politics on Twitter and I I think it's a it's a platform that they have taken advantage to talk to their leaders maybe in a positive way or trying to correct something these Twitter brings a lot of impact on politics so yeah thank you very much boss boy you couldn't have said it better we appreciate you so much I'll give you another chance to tell them your Twitter handle and the other handles that you have so they can follow you and just have a figure of a taste of who bossy boy is in person without that with the deformation aside yeah so my handle art at bossy boy underscore ke on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook bossy boy never yeah that's my handle all right thank you very much bossy boy mr.

I'd just like to say one thing about this cyberbullying. As Y254 we don't promote cyberbullying and as Y254 we promote love, we promote unity. And if you're going on social media, please at least use it to make money on network. Don't use it to defame other people. Don't use it for the negatives that come with it. Just at least, as people say that social media is a waste of time. Waste your time making money or making your own networks. That is what to buy yourself. My name is Barry Moe or it's Barry Moe on every social media platform. This is Y254 and this is social Friday we have come to and don't take that down. We still have a lot lined up for you for the weekend.


absolutely perfect conditions for day one here at Millbrook for the 2023 playing of the New Zealand Open. Players out on the course early had ideal scoring conditions and amateur from Rangyora, Kazuma Kobori took advantage. A birdie at his closing hole had him signed for a five under par 66. Young Laurie Flynn from Australia the left-hander had this to get to eight under at the time with a few holes to play. He would drop it for the lead at the time but it would stumble coming home and also sign for five under par. Jared Ford from the Judgeford Golf Club in amateur just north of Wellington. This is approach to the last. He'd make birdie there and also sign for five under par. Gunn Charon call from Thailand. This is his approach to a second to last hole the eighth on the remarkables course using the backboard drawing it back for a closing birdie. He would also sign for 65 but it was Stephen Alka who everyone came to watch early on. He started with a birdie at the par five tenth. He turned him three under tacked on a couple more birdies and this would be his approach to the closing hole this morning. Alka in sensational form on the PGA Tour champions and he continues to strike down here at Milvock. He signed for a 65. Leader on the Australasian PGA Tour Order of Merit is David Michalucci in very good form and he would drop it from distance on the seventh hole for Michalucci to get two under early. Later in the round this birdie attempt at the par five fifteenth. Another great birdie. So the Australian was on fire. A lot of low scoring here on day one.


Shipments of Leopard tanks to Kiev to unavoidably affect Russian-German relations. Shipments of Leopard tanks to Ukraine do not bode well for the Russian-German relations and will unavoidably affect their future development," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Such shipments do not bode well for the future of Russian-German relations. They will undoubtedly leave the unavoidable mark for the future of these relations," the spokesman said, answering a question on how the Russian-German relations will change should Berlin approve the shipment of Leopard tanks to Kiev. According to Peskov, the Russian-German relations are already at a rather low point. We do not observe any substantial dialogue with Germany or other EU NATO countries, he said. Earlier NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said, speaking at a joint press conference with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius in Berlin, that German will make a decision on the Leopards soon. On January 20, another meeting of Defense Minister of about 50 countries took place at the Rammstein airbase in Germany, after which Pistorius said that the participants have not made a decision on shipments of Leopard two tanks to Ukraine yet. According to Polish Prime Minister Minister Mateusz Morowiecki, Warsaw will create a separate coalition of countries ready to ship tanks to Ukraine, should Germany not agree to that. According to the Prime Minister, Poland has already made a decision to ship a company up to 14 vehicles of tanks to Ukraine and will act independently regardless of Berlin's positions.


This study investigates the use of an alkaline protease produced by Bovarier SP, MTCC5184, to de-gum Chinese bivaltine raw silk fibers, achieving complete de-gumming in 45 minutes with 75 units of enzyme per gram of silk at optimal temperature and pH. The obtained fibers were clean, separated, had a smooth fill with shine as compared to untreated fibers. Additionally, serocin isolated from silk cocoon was hydrolyzed with the same alkaline protease to obtain small molecular weight peptides that can be utilized for various applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industries.

What's up everybody? I'm Brett Kern, punter for the Titans and I got the best long snapper in the league with me my best friend Bo Brinkley and we are ready to answer some of your tough questions with Ask the Titan. Let's do this thing. Let's rock. Hey guys, what would you do? What would you tackle Derek Henry for a million dollars? Mmm. I would have tipped it. I probably wouldn't work. So it's more like get run over for a million dollars. Yeah, I would. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I would do it. Hands down. It's kind of hard for just a second. Hi, I'm Carter and I want to know if you could play any instrument, which instrument could it be? I play piano. Any instrument? Well, I'll tell you when I was in fourth grade, I had to pick an instrument and I picked trombone. So did I. If I could do it all over again, I would have chosen the drums. What's up? This question is for Brett Kern. What's some advice that you would give to somebody who might go undrafted and have to reassess things and tackle that new set of hurdles? Thanks in advance. Tighten up. I think going undrafted gives you a little fuel of not being drafted. You just keep working hard every year to prove yourself that you belong in the NFL, that you can do your job the best you can do. I know a lot of guys in this league that haven't been drafted and they've had a great successful long career. Hi, I'm Leslie and I'm 11 years old and I want to know who's your celebrity crush? Reba McIntyre. I wouldn't have guessed that. Her voice and that twang. Yeah, celebrity crush. Hands down. I hope one down meter. Maybe this is Reba if you're out there. I want to meet you. It would be great. What's up Bryce here? So for Daddy and Mr. Bo, I have a question. If you could choose one food to rain down from the sky, what would it be? It's a great question. Spaghetti and meatballs. So spaghetti and meatballs, I mean obviously I would probably go garlic bread. Hi, my name is Kason and I was wondering, what was your favorite game from last year and what game are you really looking forward to this season? Thanks and tighten up. Baltimore hands down the way we played and the way we just dominated the game. It was fun to walk from the sideline and also get to play a lot of field goals and PITs there. What game are you looking forward to? Shoot, first game. Oh yeah, Denver. Denver Monday night.


$500. What's up Money Geeks? Mr. V here. Welcome to another video guys. So in today's video, I'm going to show you where to invest your $500 spare money. So again, assuming that you have $500 sitting there and you're trying to get into the market and you're wondering where to go, which stocks to invest in, and you don't know what kind of research to do, I'm going to show you four great stocks you can actually start with. And this is stocks that have actually, which stood the test of time, and the beauty about it is four stocks, they all pay dividends, which means that not only are you going to get growth, because most of these stocks are at least 40% down, you're going to get growth, and you're going to get income, which is going to be coming from the dividends that your stocks are going to be paying you. So again, four stocks that pay dividends that you can invest $500 now, and that would give you a great return as soon as the market bounce back. So before we get started, guys, if you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, and how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that really interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell, because YouTube says that it helps the channel grow. So which of these stocks you're probably wondering yourself. And again, for newer investors, if you're just getting to the market, this is really, really difficult thing because you're wondering, you don't know.  So your question is, which one do I buy, you know? So I'm going to show you here, take some of this and do your research. And then we can go from there. So I'm going to be going through my phone here to kind of go break through some of the stocks that we're talking about. So the first stock on my list here, it's going to be I want you to take a look at this one. It's one of my favorite is Bowen. So let's take a look at what Bowen has been doing over the years. So first of Bowen is actually down now to $131. So a few weeks ago, I did a video when Bowen was down at $95. And then it kind of squeezed back up to about 180. And then today is down to 131, which is a good time for you to be able to go in. So Bowen is definitely a good one. And the 52 week high is close to about $400. That was about in January. So from January to now, Bowen has actually dropped goes about 70 percent, which is ridiculous. So this is the best time if you want to go in. So put in some money into Bowen. So let's look at the details here. And again, like I said, Bowen does pay dividends. So the dividend yield is about 6.2 percent. That's excellent. If you look at the pay out here, if you look at the earning history, Bowen has been doing a wonderful job at paying good dividends. So average is about $1.60 per share, which is, I mean, which is good. So you're going to get two things on this talk. Again, like I said, you're going to get growth because once this thing bounce back, so you're looking at 130 right now. If you bounce back to, say, 350, that's excellent growth.   So let's go to the stock number two. On my list here is McDonald's, ticker symbol MCB. Again, this is another good stock. So they're down to $157, not crazy. But if you look at their 52 week high, they've approached about $240. So down to 157. So that's not a bad entry point for you. You're still going to get growth and you're going to get income. Because if we look at the details here, McDonald's pays about 3 percent dividend yield.  So that is excellent for you just starting out a good entry point. And again, guys, the beauty about this stock that I'm recommending is that these companies have withstood the test of time. So you know for sure that it's not like they're just going to disappear or come crashing. So let's back up here. And then number three on that list, I want to take a look is Berkshire Hadaway, Warren Buffett's company. And in this case, we'll talk about class B because class A, you I mean, I don't know, maybe you have the money, but class A shares are going for 240k per share.  I don't even have that kind of money combined. So but their class B shares are down to $175. So and they've seen a high of about 230. So this is not a bad entry point again for you just starting out. So let's look at the details here. Let's click on the details here. So they were the dividend heel is naturally listed here. But if you see the pay, good dividends and the dividend pay out has averaged about $3. So this is this is awesome. So if you again, you have your $500, you can split it among these four guys.  So here, let's look at the details of Philip Morris and just so we can actually see why I think this stock is awesome dividend heel of 6.5 percent. That's great. If you look at the earnings and the pay out, it's been awesome. The averaging about $1.50. So those are four great stocks that I think if you have $500 to pay in this market downtime would be those are stocks that you throw that money into and I have all these four stocks in my dividend growth portfolio. So I'm loving it. And also, if you're looking at the app that I'm using here, it's called Adam, Adam Finisher. I really I love the app. I mean, it's not used for investing. Also, it's used for you to organize yourself and do research. So I'm going to put a link in the description. I mean, if you like to use the app, I'm not affiliated with them in any shape or form. I just like to use them for research. They have a ton of information for individual stocks that you can actually look at. I mean, to the point, they even give you the SEC filings for each of these companies, so it's a really great app. So definitely if you want to check them out, give them a shot. So there you go, guys. Those are my four stocks that I would put $500.  Again, the point is for you to buy these guys and just sit back and relax. You're not trading them. You're not swinging them. They're going to be they're going to pay you income because they're all dividend paying stocks and then you're going to get growth because right now most of these stocks are at least down 40 percent. So when your entry point is really, really good. So question of the day, what are some of the other stocks that you see that are really great dividend paying stocks that you think you can invest $500 in? So let me know in the comments section.
