So I thought it'd be useful to run through another feature that's available in vCloud Director 5.1 and that's snapshots So they're similar to vSphere snapshots, which we're probably all familiar with But with a couple of differences the main difference being that snapshots are no longer multiple chains deep So with vCloud Director 5.1 You can only take a single snapshot and revert to that snapshot or take another snapshot which would overwrite it So that's something to bear in mind when utilizing snapshots. However, they're still extremely useful for de-risking deployments So you can recover from failure very quickly Another thing to note is that there are two different types of snapshot in vCloud Director There is a vApp snapshot which will take a snapshot of all the running VMs inside the inside the vApp including metadata so things like ownership permissions or metadata associated with a vApp startup times those kind of things So for this demonstration, I'm actually going to look at not entire vApp snapshots, but I'm actually going to just do a single vApp Sorry a single snapshot of a running virtual machine so if we log on to the virtual machine and and create a file So if we just first of all list the root directory and And then we create a file And then we list that again You can see that we've now created a file called snapshot and I'm now going to go into vCloud Director Right-click on the virtual machine and create snapshot Similar options that we you'll be used to with vSphere and the first is to snapshot the memory So that would allow the virtual machine to remain online when the snapshot has finished restoring And the second option is to create the file system. So to make sure that anything That needs to be written to the file system to make it consistent Is is written so that we don't cause a kernel panic for example So I'm going to click okay. Now it does take a few minutes for the for the snapshot to complete taking so I Will pause the video and and come back when it's finished completing Once the snapshots completed if we head back over to the virtual machine console And we do something very fairly radical Which is to remove the root partition and If we let that come on run for a couple of minutes effectively what it's going to do is wipe the core operating system from the virtual machine If I now reset this virtual machine this will just take a couple of minutes to to complete What you'll see happen is the operating system try to read the files from the root disk and It won't be able to do that and it will kernel panic. So this virtual machine is effectively trash now Now in order to roll back because we took the snapshot earlier We can right-click on the virtual machine and revert to snapshot Confirm that you want to do that Now what this is going to do is effectively reload the the point-in-time snapshot that we took earlier It only takes about 20 seconds to do this and I'm actually going to leave the video running Whilst this process happens just so you can see how quick it is to restore or recover service After making a fairly serious Change and there we go We can see that the virtual machine has come up in the exact state It was when we took the snapshot so all the information that was stored in RAM on the virtual machine has also been captured You can see the last commands that we ran at the shell And you can also see just to confirm it that the file that we created before doing the snapshot is is still there So that's the cloud director 5.1 snapshots. Thank you very much


Welcome again guys to another session on quadrilateral and now let us understand a very important property of Quadrilateral and that is angle some property of a quadrilateral So while dealing with triangles you would have seen or you would have gone through the similar property where in What was angle some property of a triangle so angle some property of a triangle was that some of some of all or all the three some of all the three angles of a Offer triangle was equal to 180 degrees. This was nothing but this was angle some property Angle some property of Our triangle is it it? Now we are going to study angle some property of a quadrilateral So you know that there are four angles in a quadrilateral and that is angle a angle B Angle C and angle D. These are four angles in a quadrilateral. So the angle some property states that sum of sum of the four Angles so when we say four angles we mean four interior angles of a quadrilateral quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees so in terms of radians we can call it as two by Radiant okay, so now let us understand How do we arrive at this so hence let's try to prove this property? So what we'll do is we will use angle some property for triangle to prove angle some property of a quadrilateral So let's do a construction so construction. We have to do a construction here So since we are going to use angle some property of a triangle, so let's make two triangles out of here So hence I join B and D Are joined so the diagonal B and D is what a diagonal? It's a diagonal isn't it B and D B D basically is a diagonal So I joined any of the diagonals again you could have joined AC as well There's no problem there and the proof remains the same so hence now we can say that and Before that let us name the angles for our ease of writing So let's say this is one this angle let it be two then this angle let it be three This angle let it be four This one to be five and this one to be six Okay, so hence we can say angle one Plus angle two plus angle six is equal to 180 degrees or pi radians, right? And this is because of angle some Angle some property Angle some property of a triangle isn't it angle some property if you triangle Similarly, I can write angle three plus angle four plus angle five This is also 180 degrees same property so you can write angle some property of a triangle now Let this be equation one and let this be equation two And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to do one and two addition one plus two Let's add one plus two So what would you get you will get angle one on the LHS angle one plus angle two plus angle six plus angle three plus angle four plus angle five is equal to 360 degrees 180 plus 180 in the RHS will give you 360 Now if you club them together you will get angle one plus angle two plus angle three So I am clubbing them together and then angle four and then angle five plus angle six Clubbing them together. Let's go back to the figure. So if you see here Clearly here angle two and angle three. Can you see angle two plus angle three is D? Isn't it an angle? Five plus angle six here angle five plus angle six is angle B So hence I can say angle one is nothing but angle a Angle two plus three can be written as angle B and angle four is angle C and five plus six is angle B and this all is 360 degrees, so if you see a B C and D all put together is 360 degree hence proved Right so angle some property of a quadrilateral says that the sum of all the interior angles of a quadrilateral Will be equal to 360 degrees. You know how you have to remember this theorem or this property You know because We are going to use this property again and again and after this session We are going to solve some problems based on this particular property. Thank you


Hello my beautiful internet friends and welcome back. Yes, Nicholas will be joining us today. Don't look into his eyes Don't do it. Don't do it. So as you guys know, I've spent the last 11 months of my life recovering from surgeries I forget if I've even mentioned this on this channel or not before it's not something I talk a whole lot about So a few people have requested this and I wanted to talk to you guys today a little bit about recovering from surgeries While also previously in my life having had an eating disorder and how those things relate I know that some of you guys out there can relate I also know that there has been a lot of conversation in the YouTube community recently about eating disorders And I wanted to share kind of where I'm at and how having an eating disorder really affected my recovery when I was You know younger going through surgeries and how it actually still does to this day I'm obviously in a much better place than I was so dealing with an eating disorder Basically consumed my life from the time that I was 15 to like 19 But it's never completely gone away like the thoughts the actions have the behaviors have But the thoughts still remain and they still remain to this day and recovering from surgery is a time when your Routine gets really thrown off and I find that in those times those thoughts try to like claw and creep their way back in Because it's also a time when at least for me. I feel really out of control I feel like you know There's not a lot in my life that I'm in control of and so those ugly thoughts start crawling their way back in Sometimes so let's dive in as a little bit of background when I was 15 I had to have my ankle fuse. This was I think the third surgery fourth surgery Maybe that I'd had in my life and having an ankle fusion was a really big deal. I was told that I'd never be able to run again I was really active at that point in my life like being physical really mattered to me and this was a big deal It was also a really rough recovery I was on crutches for like a long time and it was really painful and right around that time right before that Surgery I developed an eating disorder really quickly and really intensely I felt like I had absolutely no control over my life I felt like like literally everything was spinning around me and I was just lost And I think I anchored myself by feeling like there was one thing that I could take care of that No one could take from me that no one could control and that was what I ate and how I ate and I developed anorexia And it consumed my life I mean like everything that I remember from that time in my life revolves around food and I was having Surgeries I was having major surgeries and I was restricting my calorie intake insanely and I consider it a huge gift that I Recovered from those surgeries like at all because you need to eat to recover like surgery takes a toll on your body And I was really not in a good place mentally and it showed people were very very concerned about me And I remember all the conversations I had with people trying to convince them that I was okay And my memories of like friendships and going to parties were all about how can I not eat and not make people concerned? Because I didn't want to worry people but also I wasn't gonna do what they asked me to do eventually long story short It kind of developed into a binging and purging eating disorder that lasted a lot longer than anorexia itself And I recovered from those things by the time I was about 19, but I kind of replaced it with insane Exercise I would exercise like all the time I eat though So like I felt like I was better in essence I don't think it was really until my mid-20s that I kind of pretty much recovered from all of the unhealthy mindsets I had around food and exercise, but I don't know if this is actually true or not But I kind of feel like those are things that never go away entirely Every now and then the thoughts of like you should just really restrict what you're eating Cre back it and I'll have like guilt if I eat too much all of that stuff still exists I just don't act on it. I just know where to put it in my head Right, but having surgery and major surgery is a time where your routine is totally off Things can feel like they're spinning out of control around you. And so I feel like those times I'm vulnerable to disordered thinking again So I'm making this video because a few of you guys asked me to talk about this But also a couple nights ago. I couldn't sleep I have come off one of my really heavy medications post surgery and that was actually allowing me to sleep And now I'm sort of back in this state where my sleep schedule is totally thrown off I'm having a very difficult time sleeping because of pain and anxiety and just all the normal stuff and it was about 3 a.m. And I had a small piece of dark chocolate I have this like container of food that sits by me in an ottoman Someone sent me dark chocolate, which I absolutely love and I immediately felt guilty for that because I was like You're not you're not burning those calories right now.  That's so you shouldn't have done that you should have like denied yourself that and that would have been the actual win You'd be like better if you ate less, you know That was a bad thing to do joe and I caught myself thinking all of that and was like, holy crap I ate a tiny little piece of dark chocolate and I'm treating myself in my head like I'm a criminal Like I've like done something horrible Committed some heinous crime against myself and it's that disordered thinking that creeps back in In that moment and this is the first thing that I think I would say to anyone Who has previously dealt with an eating disorder and is going through surgery because you do feel kind of stuck in out of control I think you're vulnerable At least I feel vulnerable to mental health Swipping during those times in that moment and I don't know if this would work for anyone else What I try to do is like reframe that situation as a win as like a giant f you to eating disorders And that like disordered thinking in my life And so I started like mentally congratulating myself for having a little piece of dark chocolate at 3 a.m Because that's not something I would normally do thinking how great it was that I Could do that that I was able to make that decision for myself And that I wasn't doing anything harmful to my body and that I wasn't giving into those harmful thoughts And so I I tried to like reframe it as a win for myself that I actually chose to do that And that was really helpful for me And that's what I kind of try to continue to do because when you're recovering from surgery You need to eat you you have to you have to eat and I have found at least for my body I have to eat right after surgery I think anesthesia messes with my appetite and I can't eat anything but like crackers But once that wears off I try to like consume anything someone offers me that sounds weird But like if someone's gonna bring me food or wants to treat me to something or whatever I'm like, yes, absolutely. Like for instance, I had milkshakes two nights in a row What living wild and crazy over here?  Okay guys And it was fine throughout any kind of surgery recovery It's been really important for me to focus on what I can control and I've talked about this before But after my amputation, I made like a list of things I can still do lying down and it was a list of like 25 things I tried looking at a number of times to remind myself that I do have control in my life Even though it doesn't feel like it if I didn't focus on those things I felt even more like I was spinning out of control and giving back into disorder eating feels like an anchor Even though it's not even though it's something that's incredibly destructive that will eat your life It will consume everything Your mind your relationships your activities like It's a horrible horrendous thing But it feels like safety and other times when focusing on what I can control isn't enough sometimes I'll just distract myself if I'm like mentally I feel that guilt and that like lashing myself for eating something comes into play or starts creeping up on me I will try to just distract myself from that by watching a tv show I really like or you know drawing something or Editing a video or talking about something else or calling something like I tried to just distract my mind from it Because those are ugly powerful thoughts and I don't want them in my life anymore So distraction is one way that I've tried to get rid of them also educating myself about you know What a body needs after surgery that it's that it's okay to eat even if you aren't doing much In fact that you should eat even if you aren't doing much because your body is healing and understanding Some of like the science and some of the facts behind it has been helpful in keeping a Healthy mindset when it comes to food and exercise I'm not exercising a lot right now standing up and putting on a face of makeup for a video Honestly feels like a crossfit workout because I am sweating by the end of it and feel like I'm gonna fall over Because that's where my body is right now, but I'm still eating even though I'm not exercising And there's no reason that I should hate myself for that So the last one I would say that is really helpful for me when it comes to eating disorders anytime Whether or not I'm recovering from surgeries talking to other people I've had many many conversations with friends and therapists over the years about all of this and when it comes creeping back in I might mention it to someone. I might you know bring it up in a conversation I might ask them for help and ask them to kind of help me stay accountable to actually eating things I absolutely know that I could be eating better right now. Like that's 100 accurate So many years of my life have been focused around food And exercise isn't in an unhealthy way that I'm tired of it I try to simply do the basics to take care of myself and not make it more complicated than that Because otherwise I make it a lot more complicated than that and the harmful thoughts start creeping back in So how about you? Have you ever struggled with an eating disorder? It's something that you have found a way to recover from it is a horrible horrible foe to fight And it takes a lot to get through what has recovering from surgery been like for you guys when it comes to food and exercise Do you struggle with that? Like I do do you try to just forget about it? Like I do let me know what you think down below a huge Thank you to my patrons as always for supporting me and my channel and believing in what I do I truly appreciate you and thank you so much watching this video for spending a few minutes out of your day here with me You could be anywhere in the world doing anything You could be you know hanging out with a short list Nicholas Cage for all I know But you chose to spend it here with me watching this video. Sorry. Appreciate that. Thanks for watching guys I love you. I'm thinking of you and I'll see you in the next video. Bye guys


Marty Klein is going to do junk science, moral panics, and sex.  Dan Savage, you know, Dan Savage has called his writing brilliant, which is pretty cool. You can sign up for his newsletter at the American Humanist, the American Hummus Association is right out front, it's delicious, the American Humanist Association. You know what's sad? The American Hummus Association would have more members than the American. Yes, it's delicious, but yeah. Please welcome Marty Klein. Thanks for that great introduction, George. I don't remember it. You can hear me without this, right?  Well, it's a great pleasure to be here, and I really mean that. I always say that when I speak, but I really do mean it here. Why do skeptics need to talk about sex? I know why you want to talk about sex. Why do skeptics need to talk about sex?  Just the other day, for example, one of my patients says to me, I don't know why people say that condoms are central to safer sex. He says a friend of mine was having sex with a woman.  He was wearing a condom, didn't help. In one of my next to most recent books, America's War on Sex, I talked about how the religious right uses the issue of sexual regulation to undermine secular democracy and the separation of church and state with very little public resistance.  And in this book, I talked about some of the battlegrounds in America's War on Sex.  So these are the battlegrounds in America's War on Sex. And the goal of America's War on Sex is to restrict whatever makes sex easier, healthier, more understandable, more entertaining, more varied. In other words, the goal of America's War on Sex is to restrict or prevent whatever makes sex more normal, whatever makes sex less subject to special rules of decision making, such as God's plan or gender roles. So here in America, and I've been around the world, and unfortunately, we've got America's War on Sex in some other countries too. We have the sexual disaster industry. We have the federal government. We have local government, state government. State governments are passing dozens and dozens of laws, for example, restricting reproductive rights. In fact, if you were around in 1975, and some of you look like you were around in 75, of course, if you were around, if you remember it, you know, you weren't really there, but there are more laws restricting sexual expression today than there were in America in 1975, which is shocking when you think about all the other things that have happened since 1975. Other aspects, other players in the sexual disaster industry, right wing think tanks, right wing legal firms, you know there's the answer to the ACLU, the ACLJ, much better funded than the ACLU. The therapy profession, my own profession, the therapy profession, big players in the sexual disaster industry. And those adrenaline rush crime shows at 10 o'clock at night with the heart pounding music and some transvestite hookers always getting murdered and the data is very clear that people who watch those shows think there's more sexual violence in the United States than there actually is. Think that there's more sexual violence in the US than people who don't watch those shows. So the sexual disaster industry is focused on overstating the amount of sexual violence and sexual danger that there is in America.  As a result, we have a sex panic. We're in the middle of a sex panic and you can see it in a lot of different ways, in a lot of different ways.  They're demanding action about a wide range of problems that either don't exist or that exist in much smaller amounts than they think. So this sex panic, which is leading to people feeling anxious, people are wanting to use public policy as a way of reducing their own private anxiety. So what people, such as the religious writer doing to keep this moral panic going is they're shaping the sexual narrative. They use dangerism. Dangerism is the operative word here. It's a Bangladeshi word. Dangerism to define the problem. We're going to see some examples of that in a second. They use phony categories. They use phony categories. We'll see some examples of those as well. And they create a them.  That's a favorite trope of this.   Of course, as part of the sexual disaster industry, they claim that victimization equals expertise. So for example, when there were federal hearing about the destructive aspects of pornography, there weren't anybody, anybody, there was nobody participating in that hearing who had not been damaged by pornography. And because people like Donna Rice used, I don't know if you remember her sitting on Gary Hart's lap, people like Donna Rice used claims that her marriage was destroyed because her husband watched pornography. She gets a seat at the public policy table. So claiming victimization equals expertise. It started with Oprah, and now we're reaping the benefits of that. And of course, seeing everyone as victims of the sex industry.  And those are supposedly destroying marriage and so on. So what's the problem? According to the sexual disaster industry, what's the problem? Well, we have a gay problem. We have an anti-Christian problem. We have a promiscuity problem. We have an immorality problem. Now, if you think that those other problems, this way of looking at problems is going to drive what the solutions are. How different would it be if, instead of these problems, the American public policy about sexuality was aimed toward resolving these problems, the intolerance problem, the anti-secularism problem, the censorship problem. My website, which for better or worse is not pornographic, depending on how you think of pornography. But my website, sexed.org, you cannot access my website in a whole variety of places in the United States. The University of Arkansas, many universities that have filters to filter out horrifying material, they won't let you access my website. So if you want to go against the machine folks, go to my website, sexed.org. Now, let's talk about phony categories for a second. Don't you agree that we have to do something about all those people who either murder or keep library books overdue? Don't you agree? So here are some phony categories that we hear in the mass media and in political debate over and over again, porn and child porn. That's a phony category, birth control and abortion. That's a phony category. Now, because of that category, birth control and abortion, well, Plan B, the morning after pill, gets swept up as an abortion drug.  There is not a school in the country where kids are sat down and said, okay, now today we're going to learn two things. We're going to learn what is the capital of Bangladesh and we're going to learn how to masturbate. There is not one school in the United States that teaches them. Victims of trafficking and prostitution, that's another phony category. Prostitution is illegal. Trafficking is an entirely different, now it's legal in Nevada, right? It's legal in Nevada, not legal in the rest of the United States. But victims of prostitution, who exactly are those people who are paying good American dollars? Victims of trafficking, doing things against their will. So let's talk about what happens when you conflate two things that don't belong in the same category, trafficking and prostitution. Here's a shot from the cover of Newsweek a couple of years ago. There was a big cover story, the John Next Door. And here's the cut line.  Look at the phony categories in that. Here's another, oops, here's another shot of it. Demand for porn and prostitutes. That's not the same thing. Warping personal relationships, maybe, endangering women and girls, totally different. And yet, those things are included as pairs. And that goes on as a way of continuing the moral panic around sexuality all the time. We need to be literate consumers of the media and to see when those phony categories are being used to scare the hell out of people. When it comes to sexuality, there is no limit to how much value the sexual disaster industry can get. There's no limit to how much money you can make by scaring the American public about sexuality. Let's look at sex trafficking. Just a few years ago, nobody talked about it. Now, a lot of people are talking about sex trafficking. Mostly, they have no idea what they're talking about. Sex trafficking is a, of what little trafficking there is in the United States, it's primarily labor trafficking, but trafficking. But if you want to scare people about all of the sex trafficking, just put it in the same category as labor trafficking.  That's what the Newsweek story said. That people, according to Melissa Farley, who is an anti-porn activist, anti-everything, anti-sex activist, she says that all porn actresses by definition have been trafficked into their jobs. So that's a great way of inflating the numbers on how much sex trafficking is going on. She says that all people who trade sex for money or other things are being trafficked. So that's a great example of how you distort the numbers and then creating a panic around that, demanding that the public, demand that their politicians do something about it. Well, let's talk about sex addiction. Talking about witchcraft, let's talk about sex addiction. Now, he says, I've been in the doghouse ever since I tried to get my mother-in-law hanged as a witch. Well, you can understand that. Now, what are the diagnostic criteria for witch? Well, you know, they're not that well-defined. And it turns out that with sex addiction, it's the same thing. Sex addiction was invented in 1986. I got my license way before that. And when I was being trained, there was no such thing as sex addiction. It was invented by a prison addictionologist, Patrick Horne's. He himself will tell you, if you buy him a couple of drinks, that he has never taken a sexuality course in his life. He's an addictionologist.   It's morality dressed up as clinical fact.  People come into my office, they say, I'm a sex addict. And I hear whenever somebody's caught with their hand in the cookie jar, whether it's Tiger Woods or David DeCovne or whomever, there are clinicians or therapists who go on TV and they say, yeah, Tiger Woods obviously a sex therapist. So I'm thinking Tiger Woods obviously a sex addict. If I had more time, I could speak more slowly. I'll have to listen to the tape to hear what I just said. Tiger Woods, the tennis guy. So what I see is that therapists go on television and they say, Tiger Woods obviously a, thank you. They've never met the guy, they've never met the guy. And they can diagnose the guy having never met the guy.  I say, are you a psychologist? They say, no. So here's the concept sex addiction. You don't need to be a trained clinician in order to do the diagnosis. You don't even need to meet the person in order to do the diagnosis. So how robust can this concept actually be? I get people coming in the office, this is no joke, this is really serious.   If I'm a sex addict, I can get treated.  So these poor guys, these poor guys are saying to me, please give me a diagnosis as a sex addict. I said, I can't do that.   It's now 52 questions. Here is one third of the test, which I have helpfully highlighted for you.  Well gee, that lets out most of us.  Well that lets out most of us.  It asks people about their guilt and shame. The sexual addiction screening test is a test to see if you're an American.  If you're an American, of course, when you were 17 or 20 or 30 or 50, of course the way that sexual relationships work, sooner or later somebody's gonna get hurt. That's just the way the pushing and shoving of normal adult life works. Sexuality involves vulnerability. Sexuality involves the permeation of emotional boundaries. Of course people get hurt.  And if you grow up in a culture or if you live in a culture where sexuality is taboo or difficult, then of course you're gonna qualify. I would actually encourage all of you to look at sast.com, the sexual, or Google the sexual addiction screening test. And you can find the sexual addiction screening. And I encourage everybody to take it, share it with your friends.  Now let's talk about, by the way, all these slides will be available to you. I'm happy to tell you. You can have all these slides. I encourage you to use them. Just go to martycline.com slash slide slash tam. And that URL will be coming up soon. I hope, unless you'd rather look at my post. So let's talk about sex education for a second. Our ex first lady, our ex first lady famously said, I'm always a little irritated when I hear criticism of abstinence, because abstinence is 100% effective in eradicating STDs. Now, partly it's fascinating to imagine Laura Bush being a little irritated. But she claims that abstinence is 100% effective in eradicating an STD. Well, let's look at the data. Oops, let's look at the data. Here are 500 undergraduates at Northern Kentucky University. Oh, it's hard to read those numbers, isn't it? Well, 16% of the undergrads pledged that they'd be virgins until marriage. Two thirds of them broke that promise. Some of you actually know some of those undergraduates. Two thirds of the undergraduates broke their promise, and then here's the most interesting part. Of the ones who remained quote unquote abstinence, more than half of them said they had oral sex and still described themselves as virgins. All depends on how you define categories, right? So do people keep virginity pledges? Here's a national study in the Journal of Public Health, 14,000 young people, half of the students broke their virginity pledges, and then even of those who later have sex, a lot of them claim that they were virgins. Like gray is the new black, or orange is the new black.  So, which makes perfect sense because kids who went through during the George Bush year are people who went through, kids who went through abstinence-only sex education. They were told, don't do this, don't do this, don't do this. So kids say, okay, we won't do this, and then they do this other thing or two or three, and then they say, well, we didn't do this, we're still virgins. Great system. Here's another example from the Journal of Adolescent Health. 12% of the students who took virginity pledges kept their promise. That means that 88% of the people who were depending on abstinence to protect them from pregnancy and STDs, 88%, there was an 88% failure rate in the use of abstinence as a method.  She'd have a better hit rate, I think, than 12%. Now focus on the family, which is a key player in America's war on sex. James Dobson said in an internal memo that we gotta hold up, if the public can be convinced that condoms really, really work, then proponents are gonna argue that the only thing that's holding people back from sexual expression is outdated irrelevant religious restrictions. Well, I think he's right. Took 30 years, but finally, Jim Dobson said something I agree with. Now it's pornography dangerous. I'm not asking you to vote on this. Let's use science instead. Here's the common model of how porn affects consumers. I'm not saying I agree with this, but here's the common model.   Now I have a competing model. Here's my competing model.  Or people, something causes people to disconnect emotionally during sex and then thinking about porn makes a lot of sense. So then we solve for X. Anybody who's gone to high school, and I know there's at least three people in the back there who went to high school, you know, solve for X. Well, what can lead people to withdraw sexually? What can lead people to focus on pornographic imagery instead of the partner that they may or may not be with? Well, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, resentment, mistrust, how about shame, guilt, or anxiety? That causes people to withdraw sexually. What about boring sex?  That wouldn't be fair. Boring sex can lead people to withdraw from more sex, right? Sex that's physically or emotionally painful. Sex that's frustrating.  Now let me tell you, in long-term monogamous relationships, there's a lot of sex that's not working very well. Maybe you've heard this. People would rather talk about why men are addicted to porn than about why men are not addicted to sex with their wives and girlfriends. I'm talking about heterosexual people. There's this enormous amount of sexless long-term marriages, this enormous amount of marriages or long-term relationships in which people are not having a lot of sex, and most of those couples would rather chew glass than talk about it. And it's a lot easier to complain about pornography than it is to talk about, gee, Herman, we haven't had sex in a year, what's up with that? So the most common configuration of porn relationships is that there's no connection at all. But for a small number of people, there is a connection. Now, what exactly is the content of internet porn?  And the truth is that if you go to the web, mostly what you see is not so troubling stuff. You see a little bit of troubling stuff, mostly. There's just millions and millions and millions of videos of happy people doing stuff that you used to do before you got married.   Consuming porn leads to, the new one, consuming porn leads to erection difficulties. I've been a sex therapist for 33 years. People had plenty of erection problems before the internet was invented. And if the internet goes away tomorrow, people will still have erection problems. Comes along with having a penis. For some people.  They think that that's really the way it is. When most people who look at porn, they know it's a highlight reel, not a documentary. Now come with me on a daydream. Go back with me 13 years ago. Come with me to New Year's Eve, 1999. We're partying like it's 1999. And we're having a couple of drinks and we speculate, hey, what if the US were flooded with cheap, high quality porn? That'd be a fun thing to talk about. Back in 1999, when the internet, people still didn't know, is this gonna be a fad or if it's here to stay? What would happen if we flooded? I don't know, maybe everybody would lose weight. I don't know, maybe everybody would quit their job.  I don't know, that's an interesting question. What would happen if we flooded the United States with cheap or free, high quality porn? Well, wouldn't you know we did the experiment? You don't often get a lot of social experimentation on a large scale, but we actually now know what happens if you flood the United States with free or cheap, high quality pornography.  Let me show you. Availability of porn, you can read the graph, right, from 2000 to 2012.  What happened in the last 12 years when the country was flooded with pornography? The rate of sexual assault, which we know is underreported, but it's being underreported at a constant rate over the last 12 years. If anything, it's being less underreported.  The rates of these sociosexual pathologies have gone down with the extraordinary free availability of high quality pornography in the United States in the last 12 years. Now, we are too scientific to say that all of that porn caused a decrease in these things. But what we can notice is that the two things happen simultaneously. And in case you think this is an anomaly, because the US is so strange, the same exact data are true in Japan, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and many other countries where porn becomes overnight way more available, the rates of sexual violence go down.  Well, we can actually measure respect for women. These are rates now, rates. The rate of sexual violence against women has gone down since the availability of porn. The rate of admissions in professional schools and the clergy has gone up since all that porn came around. The rate of female judges and need I say, presidential candidates has gone up.  Now we're challenging the rape, mostly of women in the military.  So clearly, there is no decrease in respect for women in the last 12 years since all this porn came around. What we do have is that porn does give young people an unrealistic idea of how quickly you can get a pizza delivered. Let me talk briefly about Gardasil. Gardasil is the drug that if you give a series of three vaccinations to young people before they've been exposed to HPV, they're protected from HPV. It's the religious rights worst nightmare.  And so here's a graph over the last 150 years. The age of first marriage is going up in the United States. It's now averaging about 26. The average age of onset of puberty is dropping like a stone. It's now about 10. So the premarital sex or the nonmarital sex to limit for young people, the arena is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. There used to be very little premarital sex because people used to get married when they were about 15 years old. And they had puberty when they were about 14. Now it's a lot different. So what are young people supposed to do? So in attempting to dissuade the federal government from allowing this fabulous drug to be available, the Family Research Council said we should not give this vaccine to young people because they might see it as a license to engage in premarital sex.  Because we know how many 13 year olds are focused on what's gonna happen 50 years from now. So sexuality is a place where people have maximum personal autonomy. Sexuality, the Italians famously say, bed is the poor man's opera. Everybody can be a big star in bed.  Anybody can use sexuality to experience and express personal power. That's one of the reasons that religion hates it. So sexuality challenges the idea that people need an outside agent to help them with their morality.  So they say sex is not a science issue, it's a morality issue and because it's a morality issue it's our thing. And so religion says they need to be in charge of the rules about who's eligible for sex, what activities you're supposed to do, what parts of your body are legitimate sexual parts of your body and so on.  And so when religious people and their ideas about sexuality are encoded into law that means restricting people's choices, regulating how people live. And so that's why sexuality is central to the mission of skepticism because the religious right is using sexuality as a way of institutionalizing political power and de-legitimizing science. So I'm gonna skip ahead because DJ is waving at me, I don't know what he wants. But I'm gonna skip ahead and I'm gonna say that although we understand the difference between emotion and science, we need to take emotion seriously. Religion is the only political force in America that takes emotion seriously. And people want to feel better, particularly around sexuality. So we need to be talking about emotion when it comes to sexuality, when it comes to public policy. Because of this moral panic, because of the fear that people have, they're afraid that their kids are in danger, they're afraid that their partner is gonna have an affair, they're afraid that prostitutes are gonna take over their neighborhoods and they think that's a bad thing. So here are the meta responses, here are the meta responses that we need to practice talking to people. Of course we all want our children to be safe. Your question is based on so many assumptions, maybe we need to be talking about a different question. Yeah, an elephant's a really interesting animal, but a kangaroo is a really interesting animal. Let's talk about kangaroos instead. It can be difficult to find a balance between fact and emotion, but let's try. These are the kinds of meta responses that we need to give to people so that they feel that we care about how they feel. Then when they feel that we actually care about what's real to them, dinosaurs are not real to most people.  Or at least they think it's real to people. The fear of that is real to people. So let's practice talking to people that we're arguing with or conversing with or debating with. Let's practice talking to them and helping them feel like we care about their feelings. So to continue the conversation, you can go to my website, my Twitter feed, again, for all the slides that we did or did not see today. You can go to my website, Slides. And in summary, sexuality is a public policy issue that we need to address more. And of course, communication is very important and this is a perfect example. She says, no, I said I've got acute angina. Thank you very much.


Fyrddwch i chi i ni i gweithio fod yn y Llywodraeth Llywodraeth Cymru. Yn amlwg yma yn ymlaen o Tata Steel UK, mae'r ffaith i'r ffaith i'r Llywodraeth Cymru i'r tata Steel a'u llyfr arweithio ychydig oedd yn ac oedd o'r berthyn nhw, gyda'r cyfnod o'r cyfnod yn fathod o'r mynd i mi hefyd, ac yn ffraidio, I witness first hand some of the pain and the fear that this news has caused for thousands of families. This is news that we continue to believe could have been very different. There's clear evidence that tells us that the decision to propose shedding more than two and a half thousand jobs at Tata's Port Talbot Steelworks is genuinely avoidable. Tata's announced that up to 2,800 employees are expected to be potentially affected and lose their jobs, out of which around two and a half thousand would be affected in the next 18 months. Tata Steel expects that a further 300 roads could be lost in the next two to three years at Clangwyrn. It is difficult to overstate what this industry means to communities across Wales. The communities in which the steel plants are located in some of the least well-off parts of the UK were already worried and concerned. The announcement has only added to that anxiety. It is essential that Tata now builds on the dialogue it has been having with trade unions to date and conducts a meaningful formal consultation with the recognised trade unions about these proposals. I have met with all three steel unions regularly since the agreement between Tata Steel and the UK Gump was announced on the 15th of September last year. I met with trade unions again last Friday and yesterday in Port Talbot. I will continue to engage closely with trade unions throughout the formal consultation to understand the position of all trade unions and how it can support the workforce at this time. The First Minister and I have also regularly met with the company and we will continue to do so. Indeed, I met with TV Narendran, the Global Chief Executive and Managing Director of Tata Steel on Friday. We have the opportunity to meet him again in early February. We will continue to stress the importance of proper consultation and full consideration of alternative options that trade unions have put forward. I have written to successive Secretary of State for Business regarding Tata and have made it clear that we are prepared to do what we can to support the company in a just transition. I have written to the current Secretary of State at the Department for Business and Trade on four occasions since the 11th of September, requesting that she meet with me urgently to discuss the future of Tata Steel UK. To discuss the implications of any proposed plans for employees and the wider supply chain. Despite this, the UK Government has not engaged the Welsh Government to play an active role in the negotiations that have gone on with Tata Steel. The First Minister requested an urgent call with the Prime Minister on Friday. This was the first time that the First Minister has asked Prime Minister sooner for such a call. He wanted to discuss the action that could still be taken to secure a more ambitious future for this important sovereign asset. However, the Prime Minister was not available to take a call. I remain deeply concerned about the impact that this announcement will have not only on Tata Steel workers, but on the company's wider supply chain and the wider regional economy. The Welsh Government will work with Tata Steel and partners to better understand what last week's announcement may mean for our economy and how collectively we can make use of all of our leaders to support the people and businesses affected. From electric vehicles to floating offshore wind, steel is the thread that will run through the economy of today and tomorrow. Virgin steel is still required in essential items from cans to cars to construction. We do not believe that the UK should be the only G20 country to close its virgin steel making capacity. That means countries with far lower environmental standards and less strict monitoring will be producing the higher grade metals that we need for our economy. Other places will benefit from British demand while Wales pays the price. Worse steel, that steel will be loaded onto diesel-fuelled vessels and shipped thousands of miles across oceans adding costs and pollution. There is a better way. The UK Government and Tata have the tools between them to secure a longer, fairer transition for a sector that is good for growth and essential to our collective security. If this issue had been properly gripped by Downing Street, realising the need to take job losses on this scale off the table, the Prime Minister could have triggered fresh talks with clear red lines based on our economic needs. That assessment would prioritise the need to make the products on which our net zero future depends. Instead, Downing Street appeared to have accepted from the start the notion that thousands of jobs needed to be lost within these communities. Yet even now there could be hope. The Prime Minister could realise the scale of the anger, the upset and the hurt that the UK Government and Tata plan provides. He could instead pull out the stops in the coming hours and days to reverse the worst of these proposed cuts. All of us should be committed to the best deal for steel, not the cheapest deal. I will work with the company, with unions and the UK Government to prevent the scale of loss that we now risk. Wales and the rest of the UK will be better off and more secure. If the net zero products of the future will power us towards our carbon cutting future and environmental obligations are made here by our workers. I'll now take questions from journalists, Diolch, and we have an order. We have some journalists in the room with us and some on a screen. I believe today we'll be starting with Gareth Lewis from BBC Wales. Good morning. Is there a danger of giving workers in Port Talbot false hope? No. The real danger is that there is a narrative that is created and simply accepted that nothing can be done. The formal consultation has yet to start. A single job has not yet been lost, and actually the company themselves recognise that over the rest of this year, their plan, if it runs smoothly, would see the final blast furnace go off towards the end of the year. They've also been clear that there is a credible plan. They're not saying that the proposal presented by trade unions were not credible. What they have said is they're not affordable, and that's where we come back to the level of support from the UK Government. If you set a ceiling about what you're prepared to do, you should not be surprised if that then is the framework that is used to make a decision. So it isn't what is the best choice for steel, the best deal for steel and what it means for a UK economy. It is then what is affordable within that envelope. So that's why we do get into talking about one of the headline pledges that my UK Labour Frontbench colleagues have made, about a three billion green steel transformation fund. You would need all of that to get to a better future for Tata, but it's a sort of thing that the current UK Government could look at again. As I say, if you think about this, you require virgin steel as part of making everyday items today cans, cars, construction. We should not be reliant on other parts of the world to import an essential element of that with all the risks that creates and the fact that that economic value will be generated in other parts of the world. Has the company indicated to you explicitly that if there is more money on the table from UK Government, then they may change their plans? What they've been clear about is that they think there are some practical issues about any alternative proposal, as there are in reforming any part of a working steelworks. They've also been clear that affordability is a key issue. In fact, your colleague Hugh Thomas was talking about on the Friday. He said, this is a financial decision. It's about the bottom line. And actually that brings you back to money is the key determining factor here. And money could resolve part of how there is a longer just transition, which is why it's important to have a clear message for workers in steel communities across Wales and all those people who understand that their livelihoods are dependent on these choices. The final whistle has not gone and an alternative is very much possible if there is the will and if there is the desire to invest more in not just a steelmaking future, but what that means for all of us. Thank you, Gareth. Now move to Adrian Masters. Thank you very much. Can you say how much money the Welsh Government has given to Tata or is giving to Tata or is on the table to be given to Tata? Well, over the years we've provided a range of release and support, whether it's about training, of course the business rates regime as well. We've never been engaged in the negotiations around what it was possible to do. Our officials did indicate that if there was to be a serious conversation about transformation, that would require reskilling of the workforce. And we would have been prepared to put money into reskilling the workforce to maintain numbers moving forward in a different way of making steel because there would always be a need for capital investment and retraining around that. Now we could legitimately have done that. That was never taken up to and never brought into the room. This is the difficulty. When there's a question about how much money have you put on the table, you can't put anything on the table if you're locked out of the room. And that was a choice. You know, so within all of this, I want to get away from this idea that this is about squabbling between governments. This is actually about the fact of what's taken place. There was a choice made that the Welsh Government would not take part in the negotiations. There are facts about our desire to speak with UK ministers and to want to have a grown up pragmatic conversation about the future. And that has never been taken up at the level it should have been. And I think that steel working communities want to hear from this Welsh Government that we are not just on their side, but we understand that with different choices, a different and better future really is possible. But in terms of Welsh Government money, funding that has gone to touch in the past for various things, including the skills, that no longer goes. You no longer give money to touch. No, so for example, on apprenticeship programmes, the money that we put into that, there are still apprentices and in fact, to be fair to you, Adrian, a number of members in the press have covered the fact that there are apprentices at Tata today. People who are taking part of their course of study within the college, part of the rest of that study actually going into the site. So there is practical support that still goes in today. We're not looking to withdraw the way we work with this company. What we're saying is, we want to carry on working with this company to make sure that steel products are essential for today's economy and the future are still made by Welsh workers with Welsh steel. And we help in that transition. We need willing partners both in the company and indeed within the UK Government to make that possible. That is a message that I think is understood, loud and clear, but all of those elements need to be possible. And at the moment, there is a ceiling set on UK Government support and that bounds what Tata say is possible. This is why we're here today and this is why there are thousands of anxious families, not just directly employed by Tata, but right across the wider South Wales economy. Thank you, Adrian. Now I move to Rhys William, some ITV national. Thank you. The transition board has been put in place to support those affected by these job losses. The Welsh Secretary said over the weekend that he thought that £100 million is enough for that. Do you agree? I think £100 million is unlikely. I think polite is very unlikely to resolve the issues faced by if the proposals go ahead. Let's just consider this. Two and a half thousand direct jobs could go within 18 months. To spend £100 million on the infrastructure skills needs that the Welsh Secretary said the money could be used for, you won't find two and a half thousand well-paid jobs of the same nature within that period of time. The loss will be permanent in the sense of what it does for economic futures for those workers. There are opportunities in an economy that could and should grow, which is part of the argument that we're making. When I was giving interviews for a long period of time on a roundabout outside the steelworks, you could see on the hillside large wind turbines. You could see that they've already been created. Lots of the metal in those turbines has not come from Wales or the wider UK. We will see more turbines created off the shoreline of South West Wales. We want to see those being created and pieced together actually in the docks at Port Talbot. That steel could be made within Wales in large part or it could be made in large part in other parts of the world. That might be great news for steel workers in the Netherlands. I think it will be really bad news for Welsh workers if that steel is not made in the largest part possible here in Wales. That's the future we're arguing for and fighting for, but you can't get to that future if you see all these don't make the sort of difference that I think the Secretary of State for Wales is bravely claiming it might do. I'd be very interested if any independent economist could set out and could resolve all of those issues within that timeframe. I don't think you'll find someone prepared to put their name to that claim. If it's not enough Minister, will you be arguing that the Welsh Government should contribute more to that fund? I think this comes down to whether the UK Government is prepared to contribute to a future for the steel sector. Are they prepared to invest more to gain more in value? Not just the saving of jobs today and the transition that could take place, but the future for steelmaking that we will need, not just for today's economy, as I said, can cars construction elements of those require burdened steel today? But also in the future there'll be more opportunities for steelmaking if you still have a significant steelmaking asset, and that is what we are arguing for. And before people start saying the Welsh Government should put even more into the pots, you all know what our draft budget looks like. Everyone knows that the economic and fiscal firepower to put into a genuine deal for the future of steel, the best deal requires a UK government of any type of any colour to invest in that future. And to be fair, the Conservatives themselves have recognised that because they've made clear that the Welsh Government doesn't have the budget to put in the sort of sums of money that the company were looking for as a co-investment. That was part of their rationale for excluding us, when actually we could have been part of a conversation about the whole package of what a just transition could have looked like. We still want to have that conversation if the UK government are prepared to move on from simply throwing the towel in and saying all of these workers are going, and to actually say how do we protect a sovereign asset, how do we avoid the enormous economic harm that could be caused, how do we actually turn our minds to what is the best deal for steel and the future of the UK economy, not just the cheapest deal available today. Thank you, Arisa. Now you've got Ruth Mosowski from Wales Online. Morning. You said that the First Minister didn't get his call on Friday. Has that happened since? And if not, can you spell out what contact there's been between UK and Welsh Government and at what level since? So there hasn't been a call. I have seen David Davis in between media interviews. There's been no meaningful conversation, part because David Davis has gone out of his way to claim that the Welsh Labour Government hasn't lifted a thing which is simply not true. We have a transition board meeting coming up at the start of February. I have been offered a meeting with a minister in the business and trade department. We sought a meeting urgently on Friday and we were offered a meeting today. So I look forward to the conversation that I will have with Minister Ghani in the department to see if it is possible to secure an alternative future and to recognise the sovereign risks as well as the economic harm that the current decision would deliver. I think you've said that during different answers to different people. You don't take the 100 million towards a transition and you don't think the UK Government is putting enough money, the 500 million they've suggested already. So exactly what are you saying they need to be putting in financially? And how much do you think they would need to put in for the unions plan or the alternative plan to be successful? Because clearly it's boiled out to a business decision. It's hard to have taken a business decision. So what do you say would actually need to go in? That they would require hundreds of millions of additional investment. I'm really curious about this. How much more than that 500 million then? It's not a marginal investment of one or two million. You're talking about hundreds of millions. That depends on the detail of what they're prepared to agree to. The challenge though is maintaining at least one blast furnace. If blast furnace 4 carries on then you still maintain a virgin steelmaking capacity. You can then get into the detail of creating an electric arc as well. No one is saying that electric arc steelmaking is not part of the future. It is part of the future and everyone accepts that. We need to do something about the fact that we export millions of tonnes of scrap. We don't recycle that scrap within the UK in a way that we should do. So we are very much on board with that being part of what needs to happen. In fact, in my first steel council meeting, I made this point when the steel council under quasi-quarting, if you remember him when he was a business secretary, when they came to Wales for a meeting, I made the point that they needed again to be a look at a strategy for scrap, how to retain it in the country, not to export it, how to get good quality scrap available because it's playing the electric arc as part of the future. The transition that needs to take place is one that the current UK government is not prepared to invest in to maintain that virgin steelmaking capacity. It comes down to a choice, I think, Ruth. Do you think hundreds of millions of pounds of investment to avoid thousands of job losses? Our understanding is that at least three jobs rely on every single one of the jobs directly employed in the steel sector. Do you think it's worth doing that, not just to protect those jobs for a period of years into the future, but to invest into a transition for lower carbon steelmaking? I think that is. I think that's a smart bet on our future. And if you look at a range of areas of significant choices made by the UK government, the fact that you can look at a range of areas where the audit committee say that the government has spent money poorly of that scale, well, actually, that money could be invested on a real return of scale for jobs right across south Wales, but actually an economic future could be built and created by us as well. I think we've now got to Bronwyn Weathermeath and Global, who's in the room. Hello. Last week, Rishi Sunak says they've done everything they can to help the steelworks in Portal, but they've invested £500 million as we've heard. They say the alternative would be 8,000 jobs lost, not 3,000. Coupled with not taking Mark Drakeford's call last week, can I get your response to the UK government's response? So, we plainly don't think they've done everything possible. But when the Prime Minister was speaking from Southampton Football Club, he could instead have taken 10 minutes before that to have spoken to Mark Drakeford. It would have been a different sort of conversation we could have had. And to reflect back, when Ford closed Bridgend, Prime Minister Theresa May took a call from Mark Drakeford on the same day. So, it's not unusual of a choice of this significant of scale for the First Minister to want to engage directly with the Prime Minister, or indeed for the Prime Minister of the day to recognise their own responsibility to do so. Now, I still want to try to get the UK government to a position where it recognises. This isn't just a matter of angry and upset people in their thousands, but this is actually an issue where the economic calm is also a challenge about our future. A sovereign asset that is essential for UK security, as I say, from electric cars to turbines, cans, cars and construction, you need to have a virgin steelmaking capacity or we will be reliant on imports from competitor economies for a period of years. And once that happens, there is no guarantee that you recover that steelmaking capacity. So there is a permanent disadvantage. And I think people of any party who are serious about wanting to leave the UK into the future should take a serious view about what they're prepared to do to ensure we are not reliant in a way that no other G20 country has chosen to be so. And you talk of being locked out of the room during negotiations. What realistically can the Welsh government do now to help the people of Port Talbot? And I've been told by unions, workers and politicians that what's needed is a Labour government in Westminster. But if we're waiting for a general election, won't it be too little too late for the workers in Port Talbot? No, and it's really important to make clear the final whistle has absolutely not been blown. It is important that workers and steel communities in the wider country here that this Welsh government believes a different future is possible. I'm not going to collapse into a campaign of despair. There is actually something that could be done. It requires UK government investment to get to that future, to maintain lots of well-paid jobs for the future, to maintain sovereign capacity for the future. Even on the company's own timeframe, it is entirely possible that Blasminus 4 will still be hot and producing steel by the time of a general election. Then it is entirely possible that a new Prime Minister will be sat across the desk from Tata Steel making clear that a different sum of money is available to help in the transition with different expectations about what that money will deliver. That is why I have made clear, as indeed has Keir Starmer, that we do not want Tata Steel to make irreversible choices based on the current UK government's level of support. That is an honest difference between us and it's important that people hear that it's our view and what we continue to argue for in private and in public in the discussions we have. We are very constructive in the way we have those conversations with partners even when we disagree and I think that's what people expect of their government and it's absolutely the way that we will behave today and in the future. What practically can the Welsh government do though to help people in Port Albert? Well I've explained we're making the case for the future and actually if there are redundancies, if there are redundancies then we will provide support to React Plus and arrange other measures. We're also working alongside the Swansea Bay City Deal region on the future to be created but you know the value of the Freeport bit and what's possible without Tata Steel being there, it changes the complexion on what might be possible too. So we have a number of different things to do and we will absolutely continue to do all of those. Finally we have David Nicholson from The Morning Star. You've alluded to the fact that Blasphyrn is for will still be operating after the general election. Are you confident that the green energy plans from UK Labour will convince the company to keep it going and that money will be forthcoming from a Labour Westminster government? I'm confident that the £3 billion green transition plan for steel will be available. I'm confident that there will be a very different discussion between a Labour-led UK government compared to the one we're having now. I mean those are dividing lines that are very clear and the current UK government makes clear that it's not in the business today of offering that sort of fund and investment for the future. I actually think that if the company sit down and they have a different level of co-investment from the UK government, a different future is possible. I just want to reiterate they have not said that proposals put forward to them are not credible. What they have said is they're not affordable and that's why the level of co-investment really does matter. OK, and given the level of investment you're talking about there, do you think it's likely that a Labour government in Westminster would be looking to be a majority shareholder in Tata or even perhaps nationalise steel in Britain to effect its green energy plan? I think the question of nationalisation is a red herring because the challenge is it's an asset that is owned by Tata and actually what we want to see is the company investing alongside the taxpayer and I think blurring the discussion and the argument we need to have about a level of investment to secure the future we want, get us into territory where we'll get distracted. The clear-ass needs to be not to make irreversible choices today based on the current level of UK government support. The clear-ass UK government needs to be think again about reinvesting in this sector that is essential for the economy of today and the future and take seriously the risks to UK security of not maintaining a sovereign asset of this kind and for workers in steel communities across south Wales and indeed those in Shotland who will look on anxiously at what's happening today to recognise there is a Welsh Government that is making an argument for the future and not simply accepting that the proposals today must happen. The final whistle absolutely has not gone and this government is proud to be ardent for the best deal for steel, not the cheapest deal. Thanks for us David, thanks everyone for attending today. We will no doubt talk about this issue in the coming weeks and months. Many thanks.


Welcome to the bet MGM studio and the Mike Frapple show presented by seat geek I'm Mike Keith with the head coach who came flying in here because you guys practiced we got a little work done today So what did you do specifically being just two days removed from your last game?

We got to move forward. We got another game You know that we have to prepare for and that we have to you know improve improve on the things that we're about to show you Went out walk-through ran got some you know got got a sweat going a little bit Just got to move it around which you know, I think is going to be really beneficial as we work through the week It's tomorrow and normal Wednesday That'll be a modified Wednesday Thursday. We'll give them off on Thursday You know allow for guys to get treatment and but mostly just try to get away and spend some time with their family I know how important that aspect of it is and then come back on Friday You know and be able to put some finishing touches on some things Let's put some finishing touches on Sunday's game from Jacksonville with Mike Vrables six pack Presented by seat geek and let's talk about Chris Moore making a big play here early in the game Yeah, was able to change field position, you know well blocked and Well executed got got Dylan and some guys out in front of this thing and you know You sell the sell the run fake one way kind of a little bit misdirection and you know keeping a try to keep a good defense On their heels a little bit and you know was able to add an X play right there And you know, unfortunately, we just have to be able to capitalize on these change in field positions and these momentum swings and Get the ball, you know across midfield and we just need to keep rolling Chris Moore before that carry had 14 carries in his career for 30 yards So he upped his average dramatically with that 38 yard run Here's our second play this came on a fourth and one and Derek Henry with a big hole Yep, and you see we know well blocked You know Jeff, you know gets the kick out and Peter pulls around and and Trayvon at the point of attack and you know that's You know again five or six yard gain on on fourth and one is a good gain and we have to It again finish drives keep going and capitalize on this fourth and one push piles and fall forward That's that's who we got to be and that's the kind of finishing you want to absolutely the pile going forward They're going forward taking care of the football Speaking of finishing Jeffrey Simmons finishes a Jacksonville drive with this stop. Yeah, you know good great movement You know was able to slant but also get back in the gap. I think that that's Something that Jeff does extremely well We want these guys that to be physical at the line of scrimmage take on blocks But then when given the opportunity to be able to move a little bit You're gonna have to do something in those short yard situations. They only need a yard So you could see Jeff slant there to the left redirect really nicely and Just one of those the ball should come out, you know the biggest Jeff is and hitting the guy Hopefully, you know the next time he hits the back like that the ball comes out Those are your sometimes we see fumbles Travis etn hit on another play that we're going to show you this time by tier tart Well, you see it kind of wind back and it enforces the ball lateral, you know Arden forces it lateral Monty rice helps clean it up, but tier again be able to redirect To kind of see him work into the line of scrimmage get off his block when the ball declares not jumping too soon not creating You know lanes up inside and and again being able to create a negative yardage play Monty rice with the finish there. He led the team with eight tackles in the ball game. How about a deep shot? How about another good play for Chris more 49 yards again? You can see the pocket, you know good pocket the quarterbacks able to step up And deliver a football and again Chris has done this since he's got here It's a great ability to go up And catch it and make sure that it's the DB is this is what we call high point in the football right here going up and high Pointing it and you know coming down with with big plays Another big play for the offense Derek Henry on kind of an unusual play We don't usually see him on an end around but here it was yeah Well, we got the big fella going and just trying to work off some other plays that we've had in the past and you know Giving Derek some space and being able to get out there in front of guys and you know block or two away from from scoring Two plays later. You did score however with the big Jeff catch Jeffrey Simmons a touchdown reception Yep, 98 eligible So he was able to get out there and again We've run behind Jeff and we were able to slip him out there to the flat And he just got enough of the ball across the goal line there to to make it a make it a touchdown Did a good job holding a Ola Koon serious hitter there came with a big shot but Simmons holds on and The Titans get a touchdown from their outstanding defensive tackle We've got a lot more of this program coming up on the Mike Vrabel show presented by seat geek We're headed to the Vrabel straighter next to take a look at one of the plays from Sunday that you'll want to see More of that's next from the bet MGM studio. Stay with us The Mike Vrabel show presented by seat geek continues as we're at the Vrabel straighter To take a look at an unusual touchdown pass from Sunday I want you to show us the design about how this worked so well last play of the third quarter Well, a normal formation that we've been in before right wildcat with Derek back here.  So we're in a wildcat You know, just wc it right there and as this play progresses, you know You can see Derek now working a handoff and the ball delivery on the ball handling the Tajé Who then gives will a nice little flip meanwhile hops here getting lost Nick Westbrook's over here Getting lost and it was like kind of just patience here. So really really cool Just understanding instincts from hop as to to when do kind of feel this and then be able to burst You could see what we tell the lineman is now what we've done is We're going to create a new pocket in the alley And so we've moved a normal launch spot over here to the alley So we're going to try to create a pocket here for the quarterback to throw in the alley They have to be able to understand where that is as things will move and we flip the ball and this guy's peeking now Is it yeah?  He holds his hands. We call this late hands and as the ball gets there now He's going it's not like he's going to get the ball soon and then letting that defender now go through the pocket He's holding his hands. They're late and Well throwing football and able to get an X play here for a touchdown when it has to be clean because Hopkins was not like wide open all by himself You had to have the timing from Henry to Spears to Levus and have it be on schedule. Yeah, and you only get so many chances to hit these Right? We've we've tried to hit a couple of these and had some success But again a decent job, you know, I mean not perfect. We get a little leakage here that guy's basically outside But you could see how the pocket has now moved and these linemen are working in unison together Good ball handling from Derek to Taj a Taj a to will like you said a soft toss that he can catch and set up And then able to deliver a good football And stride there to hop, you know for an X play touchdown Titans need more of those money sure do when we come back the 2023 Tennessee Titans mr.

No We don't. Absolutely. We get great kickers in this state. Who's best kicker come out of Tennessee? The best kicker? Best kicker. Oh boy, that would be tough. Well, there have been a lot of great ones. Best ones. I put a lot more punters than kickers. Best punter. One of the Colquits. No question. Craig Colquit hit the dad or Jimmy Colquit. I played with Dustin. Yeah. Dustin. All right. So this is a great deal. I love this night. Everybody here is so excited about this with our entire organization. The Titans have sponsored Mr. Football since 2007. The luncheon that comes up in two weeks when we name the winners at Nissan Stadium. We're able to have it there. Rad Carthon is going to present the awards this year. There you see Blaine Bishop doing it last year, I guess, was was his year to do it. And a lot of these great winners and guys have gone on to play in the league. There is the entire group and over 400 people in our club that have a chance to join us. We do a lot with high school football overall and with girls flag now. And this is just one more way we promote what is a game that we love very much. Well, it's just, you know, seeing the players in the locker room with the jerseys and then the banquet. I mean, I just know how special that is for the fans, the the family, the schools.  They all look so sharp. All look well dressed, ready to travel. And it's exciting. And I've told you that the football has gotten better and better and a number of these players will go on and we'll see them play in college. And we'll see them play in Blue Cross Bowl Championship games starting next Thursday in Chattanooga. A lot of exciting matchups. If you don't have tickets already and you're going to be a round friendly stadium, you want to see it. And now does that rotate? Does that venue right now? It's in Chattanooga. Okay. It was in Cookville before. It's been in Murphysboro before, but but Chattanooga has it with UTC Stadium, which is a very, which is a very nice facility. And what kind of crowds will we get down there? Well, because of Baylor Macaulay next Thursday night, 20,000. Oh yeah. The feeling is that they'll have the biggest crowd ever for a state championship game next Thursday night. Well, it's it's in Chattanooga. But I mean, they're, you know, we know the private school matchups right now. We don't know the public school matchups yet until this Friday semifinal game. Okay. And now are you doing these games? I'm doing, I'm getting to do Baylor Macaulay. Love it. Because it's on Thursday night. I would do more games, but I have to meet with you on Friday. Got it. Don't blame me because they didn't want you. They might have wanted me for other games, but I get to do Baylor Macaulay. We've got more coming up, including kids, Ask Coach Vrable. It's next on the Mike Vrable Show. From the Bet MGM Studio, the Mike Vrable show presented by Seat Geek. It's time now to allow a young person to ask a question of the Titans head coach. We call it kids ask Coach Vrable. Let's go. I'm feeling this way today. My name is Andrew. I'm 10 from Perry County, and I want to know what your favorite part of college was. Outside of football and high street, I probably would say that I met my wife there and I met some of the best friends that I have today, you know, on that football team in Ohio State at the Ohio State and big game for these guys this week. Oh, large one. And you're still in touch with so many of those guys. Yeah, yeah. You know, I really am involved with the foundation with Ryan Miller second and seven.  You know, Luke fickle coach fickle with Wisconsin, you know, so we're able to share some of that and those memories and then a lot of former Buckeyes. How is Luke enjoying coaching at Wisconsin? Well, I think he loves the area. I think like everybody else, he'd like to win more football games. I think that's that's where we're at right now. But I think he loves what what that university is and the people in the stadium and the atmosphere and and the city. They have a they have a tradition too. They've done some good things that jump around there lately. That's fun. Huh? Yeah. How tough were they when you played him in college? They're good. They're really good. Was Ron Dane there at that time? Where am I? Yep. And then there was a couple backs before him, too. Um, they were really good. Generally all from New Jersey. Always. Yes, they were good. Yeah, they were good. I think we tied my freshman year and then I think we beat him in some close games. But you know, Barry Alvarez did a heck of a job there. Barry has had massive linemen. Massive. Yeah. Big people. Yeah. Barry Alvarez, some kind of coach. Alright, we get a break and we're back with the Nissan Keys to beating the Carolina Panthers. That's next on the Mike Vrable Show presented by Seat Geek. Stay tuned. The Mike Vrable Show presented by Seat Geek. We're to the portion of our program where Mike unveils his keys to knocking off the next opponent. We call them the Nissan Keys to success. The opponent this week, the Carolina Panthers. Let's start with key number one. It's pass rush. We gotta be aggressive and I think that we will. I know that we will, but also tying that into the coverage, right? I mean, we were close at times and again, close doesn't get us anything, but there are some cool examples of us being really close against Jacksonville. But we're going to need these types of efforts where we're assaulting the pocket and making sure now that Bryce Young is getting rid of the ball quicker than maybe he wants or maybe, you know, having to hang on to it because the coverage is then helping the rush and that straight four man rush or whatever you're coming with. It's important too because he's not the tallest guy in the world, right? No, and again, if that hasn't been an issue, you know, but it pressure in his anybody's face, especially young quarterback is something that can give them some trouble. He's been sacked 36 times this year. Alright, second key. He's been sacked 36 times this year. He's been sacked 36 times this year. Alright, second key about the offense. You want to stay on track offensive and again, we have to be able to run more plays like that's just.  Taja has got to get his carries his touches. You don't have to be able to throw the ball to hop. We've got to be able to get chig involved. We've got to be able to get Chris and Nick More and Kyle on plays like this that that are good place and again that that give him a chance to get out there and learn and get guys out there blocking, you know, being able to run some scheme plays like we saw there with Derek, but but if you're in 3rd and 12 and you can't convert, then it's just we don't we don't have enough plays. And if you only get 36 plays when you take out the two Neil downs, you only had seven possessions in 36 plays. Yeah, it's gotta stay out there. You had to score every single time. Alright, and then finally talking about complimentary football and the Titans have done a pretty good job of this. You certainly want to be better, gain that momentum on special teams and be able to work to change field position. Yeah, and going down here and again, we can we can execute this better. We've seen Chris catch it and you know Anthony God love him. He tried to make sure that he had reestablished and he just can't kick the football, but it saved just 10 yards. You know by him reestablishing, you know we have to get Tajé some room. This is another chance for him to run with the football in a kickoff return. But again, if we're not protecting him and we're not going to return him, this is Stony flipping the field. But these are great momentum changers and you can go down there and you can. You can send some messages with big hits and also create returns. Colton Dow had special teams there and fared very well for himself. He had a great showing and he'll get more opportunities. You try to do that with a lot of these young guys. You try to set out a role for him. Let him get comfortable and once you get all that way then they can get more. Yeah, and he's been working hard at an offensive role. But you know the first spot that he can help and make an impact has been on special teams and. You know, he did a nice job at that and will continue to work with him there. Remind you that this Sunday the Titans back home. Finally at Nissan Stadium kickoff is set for 1202 the Titans in the Panthers. We are on the air on your favorite Titans radio station. 104 five the zone in Nashville at 11 AM central time as it's Titans Countdown with our friend Rhett Bryant, so that's all our. That's everybody's friend. It's everybody's friend. He is the ever reliable Rhett Bryant people loving. What can we say for Mike Vrable? I'm Mike Keith. Thanks for joining us tonight. We'll see you next time.


This recording is going to show you how to evaluate expressions and equations. So for this first one, we have 4x plus y, and we want to know what it's equivalent to when x is 1 and y is 2. So we would say 4 times our x, which we want to be 1, plus our y, which is 2. Well 4 times 1 would be 4 plus 2, so when x is 1 and y is 2, 4x plus y is equivalent to 6. Let's try it with some different values. So I have 4, and I want to put 0 in for x this time, and then we add our y, which is 5. Well 4 times 0 would be 0 plus 5, 4x plus y, when x is 0 and y is 5 would be 5. This time we have a fraction, but we do exactly the same thing. When x is 1, and actually there is no y here, so we can just kind of cross that out, and just say that 1 plus 1 on the top divided by our x, which is 1, minus 1 on the bottom, would give us 2 divided by 0, and when you divide by 0, then we know that there is no answer. It's undefined, okay? If it had been switched around the other way, and the 0 had been on top, if it had been 0 divided by 2, then this one would have given us 0. But when we divide by 0, we have no solution or no answer. Now let's try x equals 0. Again, we don't have a y, so we can cross that out, and we can say that x is 0 plus 1 divided by x again being 0, minus 1, and that gives us 1 over negative 1, and we haven't really talked about these kinds of numbers yet, but this actually would be equal to negative 1. That's kind of a bonus question, all right? We'll make that a bonus. Now we have b squared minus 4ac, so let's plug in. We have three different variables, but we just plug and chug, so b is 3, and we're going to have to square that, and then minus 4, and then times a, which if we see, that says 2, times c, which we see is 1. So order of operations tells us that we have to do the 3 squared first, so 3 squared would be 9, and then we have our minus 4 times 2 times, I'm just going to write these like this until we get the numbers in there. So now order of operations says we have to multiply these two, so we have our 9, and now it's going to be minus 4 times 2, which is 8 times 1, and we still have a multiplication right here, so we still carry our 9, and then it will be minus 8 times 1, which is 8. So now we have 9 minus 8, which is going to be 1. All right, so now we have an equation, but we do the same thing. We just plug in for the variable, do our order of operations and see if we get a true or false statement. So we start out with a y, and we know that to be 3, it's asking us, is y equal to 3, what is the solution? And then we're going to square that, and then plus 3 times our y, which is 3, and then minus 6, is it equal to 12? Order of operations tells us we have to do 3 squared first, so we have 9, and then all our exponents are done, so we can do our multiplication next, so 3 times 3 is 9, and then minus 6 equal to 12. And now we just work across left and right in our addition, 9 plus 9 is 18, minus the 6, and is that equal to 12? 18 minus 6 is equal to 12, and sure enough, that's equal to the 12 on the other side, so it is a solution. Let's try it now with x equal 5 for this equation. Order of operations tells us that we have to do our parentheses first before we do anything else, so we still have 4 times 5 minus 2. But inside here, 5 plus 1 is going to give us 6, and then that will still be equal to our 5 plus 2. Now we're ready to do multiplications, so we have 4 times 5, which is 20, and then minus, because we can't subtract yet, but we've got another multiplication right here, and 2 times 6 is going to be 12, equal to 5 plus 2, we still haven't added or subtracted. Now we're finally ready to do that, so on this side, 20 minus 12 will be 8, equal to 5 plus 2, let's get a new color, which is 7, and it's not a solution, because 8 is not equal to 7.


Hey everyone, this is Matthew and Marvel TV dropped a sneak peek of Marvel's Agents of Shield last week, so let's take a look at a few things that we saw and see what could be. But before we get started, please take the time to hit that subscribe button and the bell to stay notified of all of our videos right here on Miscellaneous Debris. I'm glad we're getting a new, albeit abbreviated, 13 episode run, especially since critically acclaimed TV shows like Daredevil were cancelled, yet Agents of Shield is still alive and well. Well, except for Coulson, of course. Maybe. When we left the team last season, Coulson was on the beaches of Tahiti with May waiting to live out the last days of his life, so Daisy and the team agreed to elect Mack as the new head, copyright hydra, of Shield. I like Mack as a character and feel that he adds a real depth of heart to the series, and that's really what the series is all about. Now we see him here talking to a hologram of Coulson, who's giving him advice and being the new director of Shield. That's a cool way to keep Clark Gregg on the show, as the Coulson that we all know and love, even though in kayfabe terms he is dead. We've seen in several episodes that Coulson really liked playing with the hologram technology, so this is a nice nod to that. With Mack, it's cool to think back that when he was introduced in season two as an engineer and mechanic, just a background player and now we see him as the head of Shield, which is really cool. Talk about a character transition from a jobber to a main event. We'll have the whole crew back from the end of season five, including Jeff Ward, who was updated to a series of regular, so he'll be returning as Deke. Anthony Michael Hall will be appearing in a mystery role, and if you're a child of the 80s like myself, you'll pot pretty big for that one. Joel Stolfer is coming back as our favorite Chronicon Enoch, which will be interesting to see how they incorporate him back into the story, because last we knew he was accompanying Fitz into the depths of space to ensure safe travel into the future. Piper and Davis will also return as fellow agents of Shield. Hopefully we'll get Davis's Wanna Know How I Got This Scar story. I try to gain the scoop out of Mack's, but alas, his lips were sealed. It'll be interesting to see where they go this season. Obviously, there's a reason this season is coming out in the summer and after Avengers Endgame, and that is, A, not to worry about incorporating anything from the movie into the show, or, B, it will have to deal with the ramifications of what is happening in Endgame. My hunch is that more of the former than the latter. We only know a few things from this trailer and a few things from the end of last season. The team will be dealing with the death of Agent Coulson, which we'll get into in a second, and they will be on the hunt for Fitz floating around in space somewhere. Anything other than that would be pure speculation and theory. So let's examine some of those, shall we? I've read online a few forums and websites that they may be teasing secret invasion and that Coulson is actually a scrawl. I'm not really high on this idea. It's not that I wouldn't want to see it because that would be far from the truth. I just don't think that they would go that route since the show has been so self-contained and it's been its own thing these last few seasons. In the MCU, they're going to be doing a lot of secret invasion with the Skrulls and with Captain Marvel and with the Avengers Endgame. I don't think they would continue it on the show. Marvel TV and the MCU have distanced themselves so much that it's hard for me to fathom that they'd incorporate something that big into a show like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's a cool theory to think that Coulson is a Skrull since he will be in Captain Marvel and thus the Skrulls will know what he looks like and could replicate him. I just don't think they're going to do it. I do subscribe to the fact that this evil version of the character is a different iteration and another part of the multiverse. We saw in the trailer two different portals that they could certainly use to lead to his arrival. We'll just have to wait and see. All I know is that my favorite character in any season of the show thus far has been Evil Fits from season four. So if they can capture some of that lightning in a bottle again with an evil version of Coulson, then I'm all for it. Of course, they are somehow going to bring back Clark Gregg and the actual version of Coulson that we all know and love. It's not a matter of if but when. But what do you guys think about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. What do you think of the previous seasons? Let us know in the comments below. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
