Good morning, and thank you for joining us for an AFN Iwakuni and Power 1575 special event Joining me today is the 36th Commodant of the Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford and the 18th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Sergeant Major Ronald Green Now first we invited members of the local Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni community to send us some questions to ask both of you and One of the most basic ones was what brings you both to MCAS Iwakuni today? I'll just start Sergeant House I mean the number one thing that Sergeant Major Green and I wanted to do was was come by and tell the Marines that Iwakuni How proud we are of what they're doing and just to thank them for what they're doing now a hot-button topic amongst Some Marines is the tattoo policy a young Marine here on Iwakuni would like to know if you have considered changing the policy We did get that question starting house a few minutes ago as well in the theater some Marines asked and There has not been a Process to review the policy right now But but later this month the Sergeant Major and some of the senior enlisted leaders are going to look at it Now let's Sergeant Major Green talk about that We're going to take a look at it on the 31st of March and the 1st of April the most senior sergeant major in the Marine Corps The force level will come together. We've heard you you are you are eyes and ears We're your voice we're going to come together take a look at the policy take a look at you know as a common sense What's best for the Marine Corps? I'll put it like this We're the Marine Corps America expects, you know great things out of Marines We absolutely have to do the things that are right that make us combat effective and combat ready Whatever that is We're going to make that decision and give that advice to the common up based on His intent and how he leaves the Marine Corps and he talked about that in the theater today This question is from one of our family readiness officers on base She'd like to know how are you going to ensure that family readiness stays a priority with all of the current budget cuts? Some are concerned that with less money family readiness programs shouldn't be a priority Okay, we first of all we are going through some difficult fiscal times And so we've got to tighten our belt in a couple of areas, but I will tell you this More than 50% of our Marines are married We know that family readiness is critical for us to be a combat ready organization It's inextricably linked to being combat ready having high level of family readiness And so my my my goal is we will maintain high level of family readiness We may have to trim the budget We may have to do it a different way than we did it in the past But we're still going to do it and we're still going to make sure that our families are Kept in the information loop and that they're supported and that they have access to all the services that they that they require In order to be ready and so we'll continue to do that And I don't think we ought to have concerns that we won't be focused on family readiness. We certainly will The next question is with all of this talk about Marines potentially going back to Iraq What would the potential role of Marines in Iraq be? Yeah, we actually have Marines on the ground today in Iraq from both one mef and two mef And their role is to help develop the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces In the Marines case, we're helping train the Iraqi 7th division, which is out out of Al Anbar In our province at Ellis out air base where many of our Marines have served in the past and my expectation is that We'll continue to do that training. The other thing we have is we've got typically a fixed wing squadron It happens to be Harriers right now rotating it out of Bahrain and that squadron is providing Support for the strikes that are going to take place against ISIS in both Iraq and Syria and then the other critical mission We're performing is for security of the embassy in Baghdad and for other key facilities inside of inside of the region The previous Commandant's policy was to refocus the Marines as a quick reaction force by slimming us down and repositioning us Will that continue to be your priority? My priority is to is to make sure that the core answers What's expected of the core to start major spoke about the 82nd Congress in? 1952 where they designated the United States Marine Corps as the nation's force of readiness the force that's most ready when the nation is Least ready and we're going to be prepared to respond to crisis on a day-to-day basis And we're also going to be prepared to respond to a larger contingency with our units that may not be for deployed But may be training back at home station So what my focus is is to make sure that we meet the expectations of the American people You know when the American people have a crisis they expect us to respond to today's crisis today And and that's exactly what we'll continue to do Here's a question from a young Marine and Marine Wing Sports Squadron 171 in Recent years Marines have deployed for me wakuni to be a part of operations in Royal Australian Air Force Base Tyndall and in the marine detachments in Darwin, Australia When can we expect to have Marines on a permanent base in Australia? We have a thousand Marines right now that rotate into Australia for six months at a time during a dry season So they'll start their deployment in in late May or late April this year And that's a that's an annual that's an annual event now for deployment during a dry season that force started as a As a pure infantry force, it's now got aviation capability as well And it will grow eventually to a 2,500 marine force and a Marine Air Ground Task Force down there So we won't have a permanent base, but we will be on a base a shared base with Australian forces And we will have a consistent rotational presence in Australia Our next question comes from a marine spouse As a marine spouse, she would like to hear how both of your spouses held to support you in your careers My wife has supported me and my kids all the way through my career I mean if you think about the spouse whether male or female our job the common I was just talking about to be most ready when the nation's least ready So that means we must be ready today not tomorrow So when I when I talk to Marines, I'll talk about the three types of readiness personal readiness family readiness and unit readiness And all three of them must have their synergy the common I talked to you about the stool with the three legs The spouse is a one leg. That's the family readiness portion of it And I'm saying that we're gonna dedicate the monies the resources to us to our families The spouses we couldn't do it without we absolutely could not do it without them and knowing that the Marine Corps 50% plus have spouses. They're married today I'm like when the common on and I came in that month that number was much smaller and The spell I mean my wife always dedicated always there for me Know the challenges that we have when I was selected, you know to be the Sergeant Major Marine Corps She was all in all in never a doubt.  You need to go forward The Marine Corps is calling you to come up there and if you're selected we're gonna put our best foot forward She didn't say I put my best foot forward. She said I'll be behind you. They'll be behind you 100% So she's always been there for me and she'll always be I'll always remember that and always be there for her It's a team. This is the Marine Corps Yeah, we my wife and I've been married over 30 years raised three children in the Marine Corps And I just tell you it's as simple as this every decision I've made to stay in the Marine Corps After the time I've been married there's been a decision that my wife supported in other words I could not have stayed in Marine I couldn't have spent the time and the dedication it takes to be a Marine leader Without the support of my wife and her willingness to endure the sacrifices the frequent moves and the separation and all those kinds of things and so When you serve when you serve in the United States Marine Corps and you have a family you have a spouse You know the whole family serves to a certain extent and so I would just say her willingness to do all that is what's Allowed me to stay in the Marine Corps Finally the last question I have is the most basic is or anything you gentlemen would like to say to the Marine Corps station Iwakuni its Marines its sailors or its civilians. I just like that. I'm proud You know the comment on that are of all the Marines in Iwakuni all the Marines cost the Marine Corps We're here in Iwakuni. We absolutely proud of everything you're doing in your core and for the country couldn't be more proud Thanks. Yeah, I just echoed the sergeant major's comments. I mean that's again. Why did we come here? We came to say thanks. We are extraordinarily proud of the Marines here at Iwakuni Do the anchor point frankly of our presence here in the Pacific? they send a loud and clear message to all of our allies in the region that the United States Marines are here and And they should something happen They'll be in a position to respond and I also think they send a loud and clear message to any potential adversaries in the region As well that the United States Marines are here. So we get paid to be relevant. We are we get paid to be ready We are and we get paid to be professional and that's certainly what I've seen here this morning Iwakuni is is Marines who are professional proud and frankly make the sergeant major not proud So thanks sergeant house in the coming on now. We thank all the spouses out there and the dependents that serve along with us You know, we enlist Marines. We really miss families. So thanks very much. Thank you for stopping by Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and AFN Iwakuni Thank you for talking with us and thank you to all the listeners for listening in You


This stuff is we try to make it easy but it's not easy and so there are other people who are solving similar problems like all the talks if you look at all the things it's often you know they had a problem they solved it and they want to share it with everybody right and so it's a great way to meet your peers to find out how you're solving problems and that's kind of our job is to solve problems right and what gets it gets me excited is when someone says something is impossible and so everyone has their kind of specialties or skills for everyone to call it but I really like to geek out on moving something from impossible to possible, at least possible to automate.

It's always fun doing questions from subscribers because I love how y'all are always thinking outside the box, y'all come up with all these different topics and questions and issues and solutions too. And I appreciate it. One of the biggest, most recent questions and topics has been the fourth down call by the Ravens, of course. Now we're not even here to talk about whether it was the right or the wrong call but more so to dive into the way that that play was set up. What was set up good about it? What was set up bad about it? What could have been worse? But what could have also been better? But to help me answer that question and more, I brought on a very special guest. Yeah, this feels like a dream. You too, T.K. See my boy, he like, I done made it. I done made it. What a great dream. Team Keep It Clean. Welcome to another episode of Questions From Souls but for this episode I had to bring on my guy, K.O. Kevin Ostrich from Lockdown Ravens. Before we get into it, let everybody know who you are. Well, I kind of let them know that already but let them know where they can find you at and exactly what it is that you do. Yeah, I'm excited to be here. I appreciate you having me on. I am the host and producer of Lockdown Ravens would do a five day a week podcast there on the Ravens. So Monday through Friday, we got you covered with game news, analysis, anything you think about. We're on YouTube and video form. We also have it in audio form. I also am managing it over Ravens wire. So seven days a week, we have some Ravens content over there and also we have a lot of different stuff in terms of just Ravens, Twitter, on the K.O. Shurika34 and overall, yeah, it's a bunch of Ravens from me. Okay, I appreciate it. So if anybody who is too lazy to do a search, all of the stuff will be down below in the description. The podcast link, the YouTube link, link to his Twitter. All that good stuff will be right in the description of this video. So without further ado, we got some plenty of good questions as always. So let's get into this fourth down call. First question came from my guy, Kevin S. And he said, the fourth down call. And Raven, I'm not upset about the fourth down call. I'm upset with the play call. Roll them all to the right or to the left. Give him a run pass option, bootleg left or right. I just don't understand continuing to keep Lamar in the pocket on crucial plays, shaking my head. And see that, initially, I thought, again, live while the game was going on, I was 50-50 on it. I was okay that they went for it. I would have been okay with them to take the points. And I actually thought that the play design, it was actually set up nice because it was designed to get Doove open. I think maybe Lamar, he got flustered a bit because the pocket wasn't the greatest and he started backpedaling. And that's usually not a good thing. Even though we have seen times where Lamar has still made it happen and the throw, it wasn't a bad throw. Like if Doove, he just would have thrown it earlier. But anyway, as far as the play design, initially, I was thinking, all right, this was a nice play design. It was set up. We even talked about it in a couple of videos too. But there were some people who made some really, really good points. And my guy, Kevin, he just brought up one, two. And I know a lot of people were talking about how it wasn't an option to run because there was no running back, back there. It was just an empty set. So just simply having a running back, back there, that could have added a quick threat to really throw the defense off just a bit and just really give Lamar some added possible protection or another option. So what do you think about the actual, both the play call and the play design all in one? Yeah, the call to go for it on fourth down, I would have kicked the field goal personally. I understand the reasons why people would wanna go for it. But I think with the play design in general, I go back to the Pittsburgh game last year where they go for two and Lamar has Mark Andrews open, but he has to step up in the pocket because there's pressure in his face and TJ won immediately. And so yeah, maybe having an added running back would better that extra protection if he's in there to block or something. But we've also seen the rollout plays before in those situations. And sometimes they were ugly sometimes and they didn't really work. So he had Devin DuVernay in the back of the end. So that's something that you go back and you're looking at like they're so close to having it. They're so close to getting it done. But I think overall, in that situation, I personally take the point. So I get that, yeah, you know what? If there's a little bit more better execution or there's a little better execution, you get the six and you're able to score. But at the end of the day, I think you take the points, you trust your defense to protect a three point lead instead of protect a seven point lead. I think that still sends the same message to your defense of, hey, you know what? We're gonna go out there and we're gonna trust you with this lead. So I don't know. I think the play design, it was fine, I'd say. I mean, you do have a wide open player. That's what you scheme open. You scheme open a guy to get open and it happens in the end zone. It's just a split second of non-protection where Jackson has to back cuddle.  So at the end of the day, we're all looking at that and we're saying, well, it doesn't matter because the ball is intercepted and there's nothing you can really do about that. So I'm still team take the points, but I do understand why, you know, that there are some people who just want Lamar to be put in these best situations to be able to go out there and perform and look. I mean, Lamar didn't have a great game against the bills, you know? That doesn't mean he's not a great quarterback. It doesn't mean he's not the MVP race or anything, but at the same time, I do think that there were a couple of plays you'd like to have back and I know this might be one of them because I know he's probably watching the film and seeing Devon do a break open in that corner and saying, you know, dang, if I just let that ball go, it would have been an easy score. Next question came from my guy, Elix. He said, just want your opinion. Good morning, and Graven has a family. I just got a couple of questions on things that are major. First question, in your personal opinion, right now, do you think the Ravens should fire John Harbaugh? Why or why not? I don't want to start thinking that coaching is going to be a problem for each and every game. Second question, I see so many people are saying the Ravens should hire Sean Payton as a new head coach. What should take on that? I know wide receivers would be phenomenal and our play calling on offense would be amazing and that's just saying a lot about one side of the ball. So a two-part question. Should the Ravens fire Harbaugh and would Sean Payton be a good replacement if they were to do so? I'll let you start with this one and I'll finish it up. You know, in terms of the Harbaugh question, I think right now it's just too early. I mean, we're a month into the season and I know there's a lot of disappointment in terms of the Ravens being two and two right now. And I mean, two and two in hindsight is not a terrible place to be right now, especially with, you know, the North doesn't look amazing right now and there's openness in this AFC right now to be able to go and still in December be talking about a high seed. But for now, I think that the Ravens, they wouldn't benefit a ton from firing John Harbaugh. They have to go out and find her a replacement super early in the season. Harbaugh would get scooped up pretty quickly, I think too. So for now, look the decisions that Harbaugh has made in some of these circumstances, yeah, you know, there have been some controversial ones but I think that we're too early in the year to have a conversation of, oh, you know, the Ravens have to clean house, they have to clean the coaching staff. There have to be improvements, absolutely. Like there have to be areas where John Harbaugh improves and all the other, you know, Greg Roman, Mike McDonald, et cetera, but there are still a lot of moving pieces. The steam has gone through another injury situation with multiple this year and they're trying to work new pieces in there, trying to get the rookies up to speed. They're relying on rookie contributions, big ones from guys like Kyle Hamilton and Daniel Fahlele and others. So yeah, I think that two and two isn't a terrible place to be, but it's disappointing because of how they got there and I think that's where the frustration is because they had the option to be a four and O team right now, to be a three and one team right now and they're not, they're sitting at two and two, which is, you know, it's 500, it's okay, but it's not great, it's not the undefeated top of the AFC that I think, look, in the two losses, I think the stat is they've trailed for 14 seconds and they've lost both those games. So it's the execution there. So for Harbaugh in particular, you know, look, if this is a four win team in January, yeah, maybe that conversation happens, but I don't think we're gonna get there first of all, and I think that this team has too much talent to continue to go and do all this now they have to execute. But in terms of Sean Payton, I think, yeah, if the Ravens wanna go the experienced coach route, they could go with Sean Payton. He's someone who obviously had plenty of success over there in New Orleans and is a very smart football mind. I think that would definitely be an option for them now. It depends which way they wanna go. If they wanna go with that experienced option, I think Payton would definitely be towards the top of their list. But, you know, if they wanted to go, the last time the Ravens hired a head coach, they zagged. Well, everybody else was going one way, they went the other way and they hired a special teams coordinator and John Harbaugh. And everybody's thinking, well, the special teams coordinator, you know, I remember Jason Garrett was in that conversation. They had a lot of names. You know, the bright offensive mind, Jason Garrett and Harbaugh was the one who was the better hire by a landslide. So maybe they feel with that young, offensive, innovative coordinator, but if they did want to say, hey, you know what, we have a window, you want an experienced coach and we have confidence that a guy like that, then yeah, I think maybe Sean Payton could be an option. But who knows at this point? Cause again, I just don't see them firing Harbaugh right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know Harbaugh definitely isn't going anywhere during the season. And I do, I appreciate the conversation about it. Should the Ravens make that move? But at the same time, let's see what happens. And I know that the thing that's been frustrating, I know with Ravens fans is just when Harbaugh becomes a repeat offender, when we see a lot of the same issues that we've been seeing for a long time. And I know that, like you mentioned with the losses, Ravens, they score a couple more points. They take a couple more field goals. They do a couple more things a little better, especially that the second half offenses, because the second half offenses all year have just, they've dragged. But then there's been some decision making that's been questionable too. It's just been a good mix of a little bit of everything. Then of course, can't forget about the defense as well. But if a couple of things are better than they are, they are sitting there for a no right now. But we know that the Ravens, they don't make these in season, they would not make an in season coaching fire, as far as a head coach. We of course remember the whole offensive coordinator thing that they did, they did it with Cam Cameron. Then they did it with Mark Trestman. I think it was Mark Trestman during the season he got fired too. But so with Harbaugh, we know he's not going anywhere. But if something were to happen with Harbaugh, I think one of the reasons a lot of Ravens fans, and to conclude it myself, would be enamored with Sean Payton, is because we would just love to see, especially since they have a Lamar Jackson, we would love to see him maximize. We just feel like that he would do a much better job of really maximizing Lamar Jackson as a quarterback. We saw what he did with, obviously Drew Brees, he did this thing, and Drew Brees was doing this thing before he got to New Orleans, but he got to New Orleans and just continued, and then it had some great seasons. But we saw what he did with him, but we saw what he did with James Winston for a year, we saw what he did with Teddy Bridgewater. And even a little bit would take some heel too. So to see what he did with those guys, it's like, oh man, imagine him with a Lamar Jackson. Ooh, that would be something serious right there. And I just feel like he would really be able, not even just to get the most out of Ravens, out of Raven quarterback Lamar Jackson, but really get the most out of Ravens offense as a whole. But will it happen? I doubt it, but you never know. We won't know till we know. But back to Harbaugh, he has time. He got a long leash with the Ravens and even like, say this season doesn't go as a lot of people hope it goes. Harbaugh just, he is in such a safe place right now. I don't even think that like, obviously right now the Ravens are obviously not thinking about firing Harbaugh, but even if stuff went just terrible this year, like I feel like for them to even think about the conversation, things would have to just, it would have to collapse. Like you mentioned, if they were a four-win team in January, like there's no way that they'd get there, right? But if they were a four-win team in January, so that would be what, four and 13, then there's a conversation. There would definitely be, I think more than a conversation at that point, but I just don't see them getting there. And I just, I don't see many scenarios where Harbaugh is gone. Next question came from Terrius. It's a time to make even more adjustments. What's up, everyone? I hope you and the family are doing great. Nothing but blessings coming your way. I wanted to ask you two questions. One, did you know that the Chiefs have made four AFC Championship appearances for four straight years, 2018, 19, 20 and 21? Should the Ravens take a page out of their book of success knowing they had two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl win? So let's start with that first, because he has another question as well. Now, when you say take a page out of their book, they've just, they've done a phenomenal job. And the topic of your question is adjustments. The Chiefs have done a good job of making adjustments. They've had a lot of success over those four years. Obviously, Patrick Mahomes, one of the best quarterbacks in the game right now. And some can argue he is the best quarterback in the game right now. The way that they just really, they just have such a talented offense. And they will do their best to really run up that score if they can. Just in the defense, the defense is never usually locked down but they are just very opportunistic. Usually Chiefs, there are some games where Chiefs offense doesn't make it as easy, but usually Chiefs offense, they make it easier for their defense to where the Chiefs offense is scoring all these points and then they can make teams a lot more one-dimensional. So they just start passing and start trying to play catch up and it's just, it ends up being too little, too late for a lot of teams. So Chiefs, they really put a lot of pressure on you as a team when it comes to scoring points. But as far as the Ravens, for them to really take a page out of the Chiefs playbook, I mean, Ravens just got to finish. That's the biggest thing with them. They just, they got to finish. Raven, again, we talked about it in this video about this season. They could be sitting there for no. If they really just continue to play in that pressure, really just continue scoring points. The defense played a little better. Lamar had some better games. The receivers, they stepped up a little bit more that they were less drops by the offense. There were a couple more, a couple better calls and whatnot. Like there's just some little fixes that the Ravens can do to have a big improvements. But K.O., what would you say as far as the Ravens maybe taking something from the Chiefs when you look at all the success that they've had over the past four years, making all those AFC championships? Yeah, I think it's funny because you have the Chiefs actually taking it from the Ravens or the Linda Brown and having that whole situation happen. But I think when you're talking about the Chiefs, they have a very creative offense, very unique. And so does Baltimore, so don't get me wrong. But Andy Reid, Eric Vanity, that offense and obviously having a guy like Pastor McCombs and you say, well, the Ravens have Lamar Jackson. And I say you are correct, absolutely they do. And the ability for them to be able to maximize Lamar Jackson, especially while he's still on this contract, which I know the fifth year option forms around 23 million.  And so what the Chiefs has done a really good job at is being able to maximize their cap space in their cap room. They were able to sign Mahomes to that big massive deal. They brought Chris Jones back, they have Travis Kelsey on that deal. And we're starting to see a little bit of that crack with Tyree Kill having to get traded just because he wanted that big contract and Miami gave it to him. He has a huge deal in Miami right now. But part of it is being able to do that. And I think the Ravens do a good job at that. And they have to continue because this is something the Ravens haven't really dealt with before in terms of a contract of this magnitude. And I know the Ravens and Jackson have tabled those talks. I'm not gonna get too far in that rabbit hole. But I think that the Ravens in terms of what they can take from the Chiefs. I mean, the Chiefs, you're right, are a team that can suffocate you which is how good that offense is, how quickly they can put up points. And they do it a different way. The Ravens, when the Ravens are at full strength and they are doing what they wanna do, they are running the football effectively with the passing game in there. Now the Ravens are a passing team this year. The pass offense has carried this offense, the more Jackson looks really, really, really good as a passer, as he has in the past, it's not just the this year thing. But I think for the Ravens, they do wanna be that balanced offense that can just put up 150, 200 on the ground with that duo of JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards. I think that a lot of people wanna see that, but also the added element that we have seen the more Jackson grow so much as a player over the course of his four plus years in the NFL. I think in terms of taking someone from Kansas City, it'd be hard to kind of just rip a page out of their playbook and just kind of shove it in there and be like, all right, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna only run this one page in that offense. But yeah, I know adjustments do have to be made. This is a team that has to improve. You mentioned the finishing. This goes back to last year when they lost all those one score games, they were blowing these in the fourth quarter. So they just have to be better. And this is a team that is, I think better than their two and two record, a team that should be four, no. And again, I think that is what the frustration and that's where the frustration comes in because you have a team that honestly probably should be at the top of the AFC North, at the top of the AFC. And instead they're kind of in that muddy two and two range with like 10 other teams where I think they're a little better than that. So if the finishing continues to be an issue, then that is an issue. But I think that they can get better at it and I hope they can because they're gonna have to. Yeah, for sure. And the second part of his question, he said, do you think the Ravens should sign or trade for another middle linebacker? Not to bash Queen, he's good and the potential is there but the lack of consistency is being a major issue and could use an old friend such as L.J. Fort, which nothing but the best and team can be clean, trust, so should the Ravens bring back L.J. Fort? You know, I was actually surprised that they didn't. I'm not sure what his status is right now. I know he suffered. What was it, a torn ACL or was it the killies in that second pre-season game last year? I forgot what it was, the ACL thing. Oh, the ACL, okay. But I'm not sure what the status of L.J. Fort is right now. They of course brought back Bynes. They tried to sign Bobby Wagner. So they tried to upgrade the linebacker group but yeah, it's been up and down. For Patrick Queen specifically, yeah, just closing. Like that has been a big issue with him, has just been finishing those big plays consistently. So as far as the trade, I don't have any names that come off the top of my head. I know a lot of people have talked about Roquan Smith but I don't see Bayers getting rid of him and I don't see the Ravens trading for him. At least not during the season. The off-season, maybe possibly but no, not during the season. I think as far as the inside linebacker, one of the things that the Ravens could do, just do some personnel switches. Maybe have Chuck just be in the box a lot more but Chuck, he's missed his fair share of tackles too. So I don't know, you know what? I'm honestly just lost on what they should do at the inside linebacker situation right now. Because again, Patrick Queen, he has not been all bad but it's just those plays, the missed opportunities that have stuck out the most. But what would you say about it? Yeah, I think trading for one, if I had a choice of if the Ravens made a trade, where would I trade, what position? I'd probably go more outside linebacker or wide receiver at this point. So in terms of Roquan Smith, yeah, look, I've loved Roquan Smith since his Georgia days. Like as someone I thought the Ravens could have really benefited from drafting and obviously the Bears take him far before the Ravens can even sniff him in the draft. But look, he's a great player I think but part of the deal here is he wants a huge contract and the Ravens are dealing with another huge contract in the Marjag. So again, it's where do you allocate those resources if you're the Ravens? I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to bringing back somebody like an LJ4 to bringing in a veteran linebacker on the French marker. I thought Juan Alexander would have been great for him. He's ballin' out with the just this year. So that's maybe something they could have done. Maybe there are other options out there for him. But I think if you have a word that you want to associate with this Ravens team and you want them to get better, I think consistency is put a plaque up there. Patrick Queen, consistency, pass rush, consistency, run game, it's all the consistency stuff, finishing. Consistency. And I think, yeah, for Queen it's a lot of just what you want to see from a first round pick now in his third season, you know, you don't want to be having these conversations about, you know, he was great in this aspect, but at the same time there was this and that. And I agree. Like I don't think Patrick Queen has been all bad this year. I think he has shown a ton of flashes. There has been potential, but that has been kind of the story for Patrick Queen where we have seen the very high highs and the very low lows. And that's kind of what it's been for him. I don't think there have been as many lows for him as some people think, but there have been some this year. But I also think that he has done some very good things. He's looked more confident this year, I think. And I think it's just a matter of getting things down overall in terms of what they can do with the position. Part of the shock for me, they kept like six outside linebackers, five outside, or inside linebackers this year. I only expected him to keep three or four because of the safety depth and what they can do with guys like Chuck Clark and Kyle Hamilton in the box. So I don't think you're necessarily pigeonholed if you're the Ravens into keeping two middle linebackers on the field on third down. Because you have a guy who can play in the box, play that dime linebacker look. And so if Patrick Queen is struggling one game in past coverage, you don't have to be afraid to take him out on third down and maybe have Josh Bynes as your one middle linebacker and then have Chuck Clark in the box or Kyle Hamilton in the box. Those three safety looks I think can be so deadly for them. And I know as the year goes, look, Kyle Hamilton's a rookie right now. And I get that. They're trying to work him in, they're trying to get him acclimated to the game. So maybe come November, December, we'll see that a lot more where, yeah, they only use one inside linebacker on the field on third down. They use three safety 60 Bs or whatnot. But part of the reason I love their safety depth so much in the off season was because I thought it allowed them to be much more versatile in what they did as a defense. And they've showed versatile looks. Don't get me wrong. But I think they aren't, again, pigeonholed into keeping 10 middle linebackers on the field at the same time. They can take them off and they don't have to use them because this defense is not a traditional one. And I think that's a good thing, but they have the talent there where they don't have to necessarily rely on Patrick Queen to be 100% of the snaps type player. Now, I know they've been doing that a little bit with him. And I think he's done fine, but a little more consistency. I think a lot of people would like to see. All right, next question came from my guy, Kempachi. He said, Duv is to Jacoby as Bateman is to Bolden. After hearing the Duv and a Jacoby comparison, which we did on an episode of question from subs a few days ago, because somebody, they asked the question, did this Devin Duvenay remind us of Jacoby Jones? And initially I was thinking like, no, they're playstyle. They're two completely different players. Their styles are not the same. But then I thought more, oh, wait a minute, is it because of the big playability? Whenever they had a ball in their hands, good stuff usually happens and big stuff. So in that sense, I could see why he could remind people of Jacoby Jones. But anyway, he said, I got curious and I did a bit of comparing myself. And it turns out Rashad Bateman is on pace to have a better season than Anquan Bolden did in the Raven Super Bowl season. I understand it's too early in the season to get my hopes up. It's not even the bye week yet. But the more I look at this Ravens roster, the more they look like a Super Bowl team. I like to know your thoughts. I hope y'all are safe and well, peace. Now, this claimer, he sent this question on October 1st. So it was before the Ravens and Bills game. Now, as far as the pace that Rashad Bateman is on, hopefully he can continue to add to his pace and hopefully he'll be healthy. Cause again, remember him, he was in the walking booth. But hopefully that was just extra, the Ravens being extra cautious. But as far as the Ravens looking like a Super Bowl team, right now I would say no, but it's not impossible for them to get there, to looking like a Super Bowl team. I think like my guy, KO mentioned a couple of questions ago, it's about consistency. It's about building up that consistency on every single level that you possibly can, because if they can build up consistency in finishing games, and you're like, okay, if they can build up consistency in making those big plays on both offense and defense, build up consistency with no drops, Lamar build up consistency, again, with the offense in the second half of games, just everything if the defense would play better or more consistent, cause they did a great job against Josh Allen. So hopefully that carries on to the next game against Joe Burrow and everybody else after that too. But if they can start to build up consistency, then they may be able to look like a Super Bowl team, but that's where everything starts. So after these first four games, I can't say they look like a Super Bowl team right now, cause they don't, they don't, but it's not impossible for them to get there. How would you say they look, how close or how far away would you say they look from being a Super Bowl team? I definitely think they're closer than more far away, but I think they're a good team, but Super Bowl teams don't blow those leads, they're able to finish, so they have to get there, that they have to get there because in the playoffs, if you blow a 21 point lead and you lose, you're out, that's it, you're done. And that I think would be much, much, much more disappointing than having it happen in week two in a September game. Conference record's important, right? The Ravens have lost two games where come December, come January, we're talking about maybe tie breakers, for division, for wild card, et cetera, those losses could loom large. So you have to take that into account. So I think, again, I agree with the consistency, part of things, and part of it also, I think, again, it's just being able to mesh all these pieces together. Mike McDonald's still finding his way as a defensive coordinator. And usually, when you're hiring a new defensive coordinator, sometimes it does happen on contending teams. This is not the first time that a defensive coordinator change has happened with a contending team, but usually it's happening on a team that is either going through a rebuild, is revamp their entire coaching staff. But this is a team that went from Don Mortendale to Mike McDonald after a disappointing eight and nine season last year. But they have been on the cusp of that AFC championship and playoff wins here and there, but they just haven't been consistent in the playoffs either. So they wanted to undergo a change. And so, yeah, I think that when you're looking at a guy like Mike McDonald, how he's able to adjust, he had a great year at Michigan last year. But the NFL is vastly different from college, and I think we're kind of seeing some of those growing pains a little bit like the end of first half defense over the past couple of weeks has not been amazed.  So it's again, trying to figure out stuff like that, where in November or December, those things probably won't pop up as much, at least you would hope not, because he has experience under his belt that he didn't have in September or early in the season. And then it's the same thing with the players, getting a guy like a tie spouser back, a Ronnie Stanley back, Marcus Peters continuing to ramp up, same thing with J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards as well, all these other players, they can be seen as acquisitions, but again, they're not gonna be the players we once saw right out of the jump. Well, maybe some of them will be, and I hope that they will be. But realistically, you have to have that ramp up period of, hey, this is game action. This is what playing 100% of snaps looks like. This is what going through the course of an NFL game and NFL season is. I think tie spouser solves a lot of their pass rushing issues, et cetera, et cetera. But yeah, we're wondering, what's the status of Rashad Bateman? What's the absence gonna be there? I think Devin Dufournay can step up for sure. Dufournay Jacoby, I can see it based on big playability. Bateman Bolton is a little harder for me to see, just because I think the play styles are a little different, not saying that the stats or anything don't line up, because Bateman, I think, you're talking about big plays in that Super Bowl run, they had multiple receivers who could do that in terms of the deep threat like Tori Smith, and Jacoby Jones, and all those guys. And Bolton was kind of your sure-handed, oh yes, third to Bolton on third down, and automatic first, moving the chains, et cetera. So they have big play guys this year in Bateman, in Dufournay, and you're kind of looking for who's their Bolton that might be Mark Andrews, who is that sure-handed third down guy, and obviously their number one pass catcher. But yeah, I think consistency is the big thing I'll keep going back to, because I think it's the word they have to use, is they can be great for a half, right? They can be great in the first half. They don't do anything in the second half, and you lose the game, that first half doesn't matter anymore. Just like the week two game is the Dolphins, Lamar Jackson has a great game, and it's all washed away because they lose, and they build that 21 point lead. No one, not no one, because I do, but not a lot of people remember how good of a game Lamar Jackson had, because everybody talks about the 21 point blown lead, and how they didn't score, and et cetera, et cetera. So they have to be able to do that a lot better. I think they can do it. I think this is just a matter of getting everybody gelled and meshed up, but they have to be able to do that or else. It might be tough for them to go where they wanna go, and I think that they can do it. I think that they can win a lot of games this year. I think they can be a very high scene in the playoffs and make a run, but they need to get their guys back. They have to get them to 100%, and they have to be able to make sure that they're all on the same page heading into December and January, and hopefully for them in February. All right, and the last question on this episode came from my guy, Coach White. He said, personnel grouping. Top of the AM team, keep it clean. Me being a coach, I noticed that things that casual fans don't. I'm hoping the Ravens, especially Jiro, see this video when you talk about it. Buffalo is one of the few teams that have linebackers that are fast, physical enough to match up with our 22 personnel in the run and pass game, which is rare. Usually I complain about the personnel grouping because it's outdated and to maximize any QB, not just Lamar, you need a lot of 11 personnel on the field, not all the time, but more than what we're using. Although be more users of 22 personnel like the 11 personnel, spreading out the tight ends and full backs, keeping teams off balance. A lot of teams will keep their linebackers in the stop to run, but when we spread them apart, they're not quick enough to match up in most instances. Not Buffalo, their linebackers could do both, causing our offense to become stagnant. It could have been the rain, weather slowing us down too, I don't know. If we're blessed, God willing enough to play them again, we have to be more balanced with our personnel by putting our 11 package, putting in our 11 packages too. I know I said the same thing a few times about 22 personnel, but to understand my point, I had to. If possible, you don't have to, oh, if possible, you don't have to read my question, but paraphrase it to your listeners, I'll appreciate it. So it's, now when you talk about the personnel, 11 personnel, 22 personnel, me, myself, I ain't no big X and Nose guys, but what I think it comes down to is adjustments. And that, everything that you said, it reminded me of adjustments. You talked about how the bills, they had the linebackers that were able to adjust to everything that the Ravens did. And when the Ravens tried to sneak in something, the Ravens tried to spread out the offense, even in the 22 personnel that the Ravens, they just, they couldn't do it because the bills were ready for it. So that just, again, it takes me back. And again, this is with offensive play calling, this is with offensive execution. This is with all of that. It just takes me back to the offense just not really adjusting in the second half this year, because they have been just, in the word that you mentioned, stagnant. They've been stagnant. And that is such a big issue that they gots to get fixed. They got to get fixed. Like we remember last year, the Ravens offense, they would start off so many games slow.  But then they start waking up a bit in the second half. But this year, they've been starting off games and starting off halves pretty good. It's like, okay, let's go Ravens. But then in the second half, it's like they go to sleep. So they gotta do a much better job of adjusting because what they've been doing so far is just not gonna cut it. So that's better play calling from Greg Roman. That's on better execution from Lamar, better execution from Bate and the receivers, Mark. And just everybody, the offensive line, especially too. It's up to the whole unit to come together and just really put out better effort in the second half. Cause if they would be like this, like they've been all season, it's just not gonna be enough. Well, what's your thoughts on that? Yeah, I think when you're talking about 11 personnel, 22 personnel, I mean, yeah. The fullback position as it has been for the past couple of years has been, kind of phased out of a lot of NFL offenses. There aren't a lot of teams that use fullbacks, they use these heavy groupings anymore. There are still some that do it, don't get me wrong. But this is part of the reason that I think a lot of people, they do wanna see those in-game. And I agree, I think in-game adjustments are huge. I think sometimes the Ravens have been good at it, but I think more often than you'd like to see, they haven't done enough in the second half this year in order to warrant, you know, them saying, oh, this was great. I mean, the New England game, Kyle Hamilton saved that game. The Nelson Aguilar play was a play that would have gone for 30, 40, 50 yards if he had been able to get down with that football. The Ravens are up by five at that point. The Patriots would have been deep in Ravens territory and who knows? I'm glad Hamilton ended up doing what he did because it ended up saving the game for him. I think that was great. But the whole league, or most of it at least, is zigged one direction. The Ravens zagged in a different direction with the way their personnel groupings go. And, you know, using these full back sets, two tight ends, three tight end sets, you know, we're not in 2019 anymore, you know, the March action has grown plenty since then. I'm not saying never use them. I'm not saying never use them because this is like the identity of this team. But what has been true is the fact that Baltimore's pass offense has been carrying them. They do have talent at receiver. And I think you can use 11 personnel effectively if you want to use it more often if you're the Ravens. Now, what does Rashad Bateman and his situation do to this? You know, you're kind of having everybody move a rung up the ladder when, if Bateman has to miss some time here. So usually it becomes your one and the Marcus Robinson becomes your two, et cetera, et cetera. So do you rely more on your 22 personnel in a potential absence over Rashad Bateman? I think they would have done it even if Bateman was in there. But, you know, I think people, they want to see more of these receivers on the field because they have the talent. Not saying the tight ends don't because at the end of the day, you're putting the tight ends out there for multiple reasons. But I think a big reason in one of them is the fact that they can use the play action game with them effectively. And we're seeing some more under center places here from the Marjaxon. But in 2019, what made this offense so good was the fact that their run offense was just unbelievable. And teams had to respect that they had to put players in the box. And when you see a 22 grouping out there with two tight ends and a massive fullback and everything, you have to put guys in the box and the Ravens can run play action. And teams have to bite on it a little bit because if they're getting gashed for five yards to carry, six yards to carry, they can't just say, we're going to drop everybody and just hope that they're throwing at this down. They have to be able to get their run game back to what it was. Obviously, I know the personnel, you know, you're hoping Gus Edwards comes back, J.K. Dobbins still working his way up, Ronnie Stanley has to be able to come back as well. They don't have Marshall Yanda anymore. Elena Brown's not in Baltimore anymore. Those are two big losses, but they have to be able to do that. And I think if you're going to use 22 personnel effectively play action as a huge part of what you do, 11 personnel, you can use play action off of that. But I think we're seeing a lot more 11 personnel groupings throughout the league because these teams are going, three receivers sets, they're getting three, I mean, the Bengals who they have on Sunday night with Jamar Chase, D. Higgins, Tyler Boyd, you can use those three in so many different ways effectively. So yeah, I think you're pointing Raven about them just being better at adjustments, I think is a hundred percent true because I think that so much throughout a season, there are so many opportunities to go into that halftime locker room and say, hey, you know what, this is what is happening to us right now, let's go out and do it. But sometimes it can be a fourth quarter thing where you have to adjust on the fly really quickly because something is happening. You don't have the halftime locker room to go into and something goes going on. You can't just say, all right, time out guys, let's go to the locker room, let's figure it out. You have to do it right there on the field. And I think we've seen them do a fine job at it sometimes, but I think we, again, I'm gonna say it one last time, consistency is key when you're talking about this team. And I think that's another area where it has to be good. Yeah, this feels like a dream. Ain't no jazz what I made. You see my phone, jazz what I made. You two team keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, I done made it, I done made it. Boy, that's my homie, ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. Shout out to engraving.


The message situation is getting messed up. He was a free agent to become a Barcelona at a like 60% reduced salary after winning the COVID gold copa cop down there. And now he's not going back. You said the entire league was pitching him money to keep him there. What's going on?  Turns out when you ask an entire league to pay a guy's salary to play for just one team might not work out that way.


So we've done all the hard work. We're going to bring in our data set in a comma separated values format into Julia Yeah, I am in Julia box where we are going to continue doing our work and I've logged in using my Google account at the top Remember you'll see these tabs and when you're going to files You can simply navigate to the folder that you are going to work in that you are going to get your Julia file in and you can simply from your computer drag on to this area on the right your comma Separated values file it will then upload Into the Amazon web services and you can use it right there. So let's go back to our I Julia And this is where it is CCS dot CSV You can see it there That is the comma separated values and case controls series is the file the Julia file that I am going to work with Now I've already created it here. I've done all the hard work I've done all the typing so that we don't waste time in that you can either get the file yourself or you can Do all your own typing you see it's Julia 0.3.11 the file is opened up Remember Julia the Jupiter notebook here if I double click on a cell You see it is a markdown cell and I can use either html tags or markdown shortcuts like this The pound sign hashtag sign means h1 Equivalent to h1 and html so that will be the largest text a heading type one text if I Execute that cell beautiful nice text there for us As always I'm going to start my Julia coding Just to see if things are working properly I'm going to call the addition function they pass a two arguments So we know that's the same as writing 2 plus 2 and if I execute that line of code learn behold 4 I kind of know that everything is working now. So what are we going to get up to just using Julia here? I'm going to show you how to import the packages and the packages that we are going to use to do the statistical analysis on the data that we've worked so hard on to get we Going to show you how to import that data using the data frames package that is We're going to change the coded values remember we wanted to protect the identity of the patients We've changed some of the values we've used code words and I'm just going to show you how to revert that back to something that we can understand while we do the analysis Although you can leave it as such except for the actual values that you changed words not so much But the values we've got to bring back Remember we changed the for instance the ages of all the patients We can't analyze that because that won't be a true reflection of our sample We're also going to have a look around at the imported data set I'll show you how to get to certain cells how to get to certain columns only display them We're going to do some descriptive statistics that Including some simple plotting using the get fly package now We're not going to get into any depth in the get fly package, but it's so beautiful just to to Plot some of your data It's a nice way for human being to get start getting a feeling for where the data is going to go Together with that just some easy descriptive statistics and then we're going to make groups and we're going to compare them We're going to do some inferential statistics using the hypothesis tests package Including showing you how to do a test to decide for continuous numerical data to decide between a parametric and a non-parametric test So a lot of exciting stuff in this part of this lesson


My name is Don Crepo. I'm currently Director of Eye Detect Services with the Capital Center for Credibility Assessment, C3A. Also a member of the Converis Technical Advisory Board for Eye Detect. I have three years of federal service, all of it in the Credibility Assessment Arena, primarily in the area of polygraph but more recently in other technologies as well. Let me offer a comment regarding the relative accuracy of both eye detect and the polygraph. The polygraph in the screening mode has been shown to have an accuracy perhaps in the area of 80%, maybe up as high as 85%. Really depending on certain factors such as how many relevant questions are covered and the competency of the examiner. The eye detect technology has honed in on an accuracy of about 86% in screening and has no inconclusives and it doesn't vary as to who the proctor of the examination is. There's also the matter of who the source of the research is. In polygraphy, most of the first quality research we have comes out of the University of Utah by the same group of scientists who have validated eye detect technology. And so we can have great confidence that they've given the same level of care in their polygraph research as they have with their eye detect research. It's also interesting that the very same scientists that develop the computerized polygraph and is responsible for most of the really good research in the field of polygraphy are the very same scientists who are to be given credit for the development of the eye detect technology and the testing protocol. We have demonstrated the eye detect technology in front of dozens of U.S. government agencies. The way we typically do it is to conduct a numbers test where the examinee, if you will, selects a number, writes it down on a piece of paper, doesn't show it to anyone. We test with the eye detect system and in the scores of tests that we have conducted for government agencies to demonstrate it, the eye detect technology has always gotten the number correct. As a result, we have some very surprised individuals who may have been skeptical originally about the technology have become believers in the system.


Hi! Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to my channel. Welcome to another video. Again, I apologize for starting my video looking like this. I do it every time. So I'm gonna film a day in the life at uni. I've got a lot of stuff to do today. It is currently, oh god, 10 to 12. I did actually wake up early today. I just then lay in bed because I woke up early and I was like, oh, you can stay in bed for a bit. Now I've had a shower. We're actually gonna get on with our day now. I've got two lectures at 3 and 4. Can't miss them this time. And I am potentially driving home today or tomorrow morning, I'm not sure yet. But it's Halloween this weekend. I've got my costume. I might show you that later. I might leave it as a surprise for the Instagram. Anyway, as you can see, I've just had a shower. That's why I look like this. I'm gonna plan my day in my little diary. This is just from Amazon, I'm pretty sure. But yeah, I've just started getting into doing this and actually planning out my days and well, my weeks. So I'm gonna plan that now and I'm gonna dry my hair and get ready. Hi, so I haven't moved since I last filmed. But as you can see, time has passed. My hair is considerably drier and I have some eyebrows on my face. I had some lunch. Can you kid a guest? It's pasta. And took the bins out because I'm a good little flatmate. And now I'm reading two Financial Times articles. I know. Really exciting. Great. I've got half an hour to read these two before I have two workshops online. I promise this vlog is gonna get more interesting. It's just right now. I'm just being a good uni student, surprisingly. Hi, so as you can tell from the darkness, it's a lot later. It's currently a half past six. And with Ellie, we have been driving around for the last hour and a half. God knows what we've been doing. We've got the essentials. This is what we've spent an hour and a half getting. But you know, all in the day in the life of a uni student. Also, my car is doing a really, really weird thing. It's connected to my Bluetooth, right? And we're just listening to music.  And now we're going to McDonald's. We can do a little McDonald's. McDonald's, yes. I've never done that. Where's a McDonald's? You just eat and talk talk, touch it. And we're at McDonald's. Right, we're going to try the TikTok trend of the vanilla milkshake. And then you pour a shot of espresso in. Can we get two Cormeo chicken legend meals then please? Medium please? Both with vanilla milkshakes. And then can we get two single espresso shots as well? Thank you. Should we get yours? Oh, it's my other favourite part, that white one. Yeah, I like that white Audi. Actually stunning. I just love Audi's. Like, Alicia, I don't think that you could show me an Audi. I wouldn't I? Yeah, I agree. Am I changing your life? Am I changing your life? Am I changing your life? Am I changing your life? Am I changing your life? What sauce do you want? No. They don't do mayo. That's my friend's time. My God, this car keeps rolling into me. That was even closer that time. Hi. Thank you. Oh, I hadn't got my glasses on. I was like, why can't I see anything? I'm well excited to try this. Is that a space? That's tiny. Oh, can you fit in there? It's bigger than that one. The lighting in here is going to be horrendous because it's very dark outside. Oh, my God. I'm doing my first. Oh, my God. There's enough space for it. I reckon they knew we were doing it. I think they did. Do I literally just pour it on? Yep. Yeah, it looks grim. God, Jess. It doesn't come up the straw. Yeah, these straws are awful for the milkshakes because they just go soggy after like two seconds. That looks well with when you pour it in. That's so nice. Is it good? It literally just tastes like the milkshake but with a tiny bit of coffee. So it's weird. Do you know what this tastes like, guys? It's like a vanilla milkshake and then you put a little shot of coffee in it. It's so weird. I've never had a McDonald's milkshake before, have you? Yeah. My parents used to not let me go to McDonald's as a kid. So we're like, it's really unhealthy. Yeah, same. And Jessica's parents let her but just let her go and get like a milkshake. So whenever I went out for her birthday when we were really, really young, like say we went to the cinema, her mum would always let us get a milkshake afterwards and so I used to love them and I called them thick shakes. I literally, until uni, I've been calling them thick shakes. I'm like, how can we get a thick shake? Apparently it's the milkshake.  It's just this because it's so thick. It's a thick, thick shake. Right, now I'm trying my first ever what is it? It's a chicken legend. It's actually really nice. If you like, it doesn't really taste like coffee though. They're good. Yeah, look what I've done. Oh my God, I've never tried dipping a chip in a time. Me neither have I! Look, this is a day for everything. Wow, we're trying so many things. Right, are you ready for this? I'm really excited. Okay, chip in the milkshake. It's actually so nice. Oh, so nice. That is so nice. I was thinking it would be better without the coffee. No, that's perfect. It tastes like a churro. No, it does not. It's salt and vanilla. A churro is a cinnamon and chocolate type. And dough. I'm going to set up a chip in a milkshake shop. Chip dip. This is a chip dip. Chip dip. This is what I'm going to call it. Oh my God. Better copyright that. Blow it out so no one takes my list. Okay. Got it. This tastes like chicken. Oh, I should have got a kid's meal because I got a little toilet. Holy God. Are you going to be a vampire? No, a walrus. Oh, yeah. Content. Thanks. Hi, I'm home. I don't know what came of that mukbang. I only started talking about something. I can't remember what it was, but then I turned the camera off because it was a very long story. I'm now back in bed. It is quarter to nine. No, quarter to ten. I am so tired because I woke up at half eight this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I have to be up at eight thirty tomorrow because I've got a workshop at nine o'clock and then I've gone straight afterwards at ten o'clock. It's quite good because then they're over and done with for the rest of the weekend. So I've just been doing the prep work for those. Now, luckily that wasn't too much. I think I'm going to go to sleep. I don't know if this video has been very long or very good. So I think I'm going to film tomorrow as well because I'm here for half a day and then I'm good driving home. I'm going to go to sleep. Well, I'm probably going to sit on TikTok for two hours and then I'm going to go to sleep because we're waking up early tomorrow. So I'll see you guys nice and early in the morning for a nine a.m. I just took all my makeup off. I don't know if you can hear. Someone's having a party in my kitchen and I've got a nine a.m. lecture and this is going to go until four a.m. and I'm going to kill someone. This is uni life for you if you wanted to know. Hi. Good morning. It is eight fifty seven now. I need to log on to my Microsoft Teams because in two minutes I've got my first workshop. I'm going to do the first one at least from my bed probably because I woke up ten minutes ago and I just don't feel like I can get out of bed yet. I'll update you after this lecture. Of looking at gorgeous diamond. And I'm home. I'm going to film a bit of a drive with me on the way back, either for this video or for a separate video, but my sat-nav was taking me a really weird way. So I didn't film video, but here we are. I'm home. I need to go have some lunch because I'm really hungry and also I've got this thing on my tongue. It's like a spot on the bottom of my tongue and it's really painful. I don't know what it is. I feel like biting it off. It's very tempting, but I feel like that would really hurt. Hello. I have been sleeping for the last like three hours because I'm very sleep deprived. Very sleep deprived clearly. I don't have had a proper night's sleep uni. Six weeks I've been there, but we've just ordered sushi and we're watching nerve. Say hi guys. Hi. You have a family movie time. This little girl turned twelve this week. She's so old. That's so scary. Hi. Good morning. As you can see, I look significantly orange. I look interesting to say the least. I haven't faked hand in like, when would I last faked hand? Probably like five months ago. But yeah, I needed to turn because my natural tan had significantly faded and being turned makes me happier. So the haters. But I'm going to finish this video here because it was meant to be a day in the life and now I've filmed over three days and I need to start getting this edited. Going back to uni today. It's Halloween. Happy Halloween everyone. Ooh, spooky season. Yay. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, please give it a massive thumbs up because it really helped me out and subscribe if you aren't already because it's free and it's a really nice thing for you to do. I'll see you next week or with another video. Bye.


Hi, this is Dr. Don and I have part two of the PivotTable overview videos. This is the original data that we used to create the PivotTable that I'm going to show you how to make. When you are trying to use a PivotTable, you need to check your data to make sure it is ranged as a table. And by that I mean the first row in your data set needs to contain labels, titles of each of the columns. And you may recall that we sometimes call these columns as if they contain variables or data fields. And again you need to have that first row only consist of titles. Then there needs to be one row for each item that you are interested in. In this case we have employees and for each employee all of the data that we need for each employee is in that one row. If you had data scattered among rows then the PivotTable couldn't find them properly. So make sure you have one row, one record per item. Then you need to make sure there is no empty rows in your data set. You can make do with an empty cell here and there, Excel can work around that as long as it is not an entire row or an entire column that is empty. So if you have those scan your data, find them and delete those empty rows and delete those empty columns. Finally you need to make sure there is no extraneous information on the edges of your data. For example here in this table I've got a little note that I gave myself. Check on this souring. What you can do is delete it or you can just move it so it's no longer touching so it's longer adjacent and that should be okay. Now down at the bottom I think I recall that I put a total. So I'm going to use a shortcut control shift down arrow to go down to the very bottom of the data table and there you can see yes there's 9,230 records there and I want to get rid of these two cells there that had the total and I'm going to go back up the top control shift up arrow and that puts me up at the top. To create the data, excuse me, the pivot table, all you need to do is click somewhere in your table and then go up to the insert ribbon, click on that, find pivot table and click on that. Now you'll see there's a recommended pivot table there. That can be a shortcut if you know what you're doing. Excel will look at your data and try to suggest how you should create your pivot table but sometimes that can start you off in the wrong direction. So I like folks particularly learning to start with a basic pivot table, click on that and you get this dialog box and it will tell you we've selected this range, all of the cells that are adjacent and it goes from A1 to K92, to K229, which is what I want. I don't want to use an external data source and as I go down, I want to put my pivot table on a new worksheet. Generally that's better if you use a new worksheet than trying to use, put it on your original data. And then finally just for your information note you can use more than one data table, more than one worksheet and create what they call a data model, which is just a pivot table with multiple worksheets. We don't want that, we want just a simple somebody to click OK. Excel inserted this new worksheet here. It's labeled as sheet 14 because I've, excuse me, yeah, sheet 14. I've made a lot of worksheets before I made this video and it's blank except there's some information there. It says here's where you build your report and you do it by pulling fields from the pivot table field list, which is over here on the right side. And here's the list of the fields or the variables we have in our data table. And you build your pivot table by dragging these fields into this area at the bottom and that will be the subject of the next video. So tune in shortly and we'll build that table that we use to create the report.


Good thing to travel, little tip. Get the greens on board. Jackal, where do you use steps? Because my wife would kill me if she found out. It's at the elevator. It's like the Cardinal's Inn. You cannot take the escalator, the elevator. Elevator, I'm scared of. It's a more quiet space, but elevators are out of the question as well. We, you were distracting us with the camera and therefore haven't picked up the bag, which has a lot of the essentials. Abby's found it, don't worry. It's just that, and you thought we might have actually properly messed that up. And no one would have any pants. And Abby would have any make-up. Oh, that was too fat. I'm not sure which one of those is the bigger disaster. Mike is like the castle. Note to self, ring flip flops. Ah, Bepper Pig. Say hello to the school of calisthenics. So that's it. Day one of Mike's gym, our bear, the weekend workshop with the school of calisthenics is about to kick off. Guests arriving in about half an hour. People come from all over the place. So day one, we start with getting the journey out of the system. So it's a movement prep work up at the temple, which is up at the top there, which gets the journey out of the system, preps the body for the rest of the sessions we're going to do for the rest of the day, Saturday and Sunday. And then on Friday, later on today, we get to go out on the big course. We get the Mike's gym experience, where Mike is going to win his beautiful way, show us around the course, shall we say, and put us through our paces. And that's going to set us up to then after lunch. And then we're going to then have some time to chill out around the pool and Ninja Alley. And then it's time to relax before all of the more progressive calisthenics all starts on day two. Get in there, get in there. This is going to be big pectorials. That's what I want to learn. So they inflate them as soon as you put them on. It's a very special moment when Mike puts on them. It's very special. We're getting a proper bit. A real vest. Very often. Look at that instant growth. I'll give you a little insight about what this assault course is about. We have what's called our top section, which is all cardio based up and down bank sides and running up and down tires and ladders and stuff like that, which you're going to participate in. Then we're going to go on to the kind of military style obstacles, simple balance, climbing under things, crawling under things, swinging across things, climbing over things, blah, blah, blah. The official lap for the course is four and a half kilometers around. And there's a hundred odd elements to it. Right there. Come on in, pick your teams. Hey, buddy, got any questions about that? No? I went the first last time it was fired. It might have been the leader. Well, that's how it is. I've got a question. Do I look more wise the next year than a normal person? All right, get on. Right then. Everybody understand what's going on? Three, two, one, go. One minute. Go, go, go, go. You're coming to my extreme. You've got to do these sole course. Come on, let's go. Then you've got to do it properly, which means whatever level you're at, you're trying to read the pain for us for you at the edge of your limit. Doesn't matter where you're first or last. That's because it challenges you. It gives you the opportunity to see what have you got. All right, now let's look. Go on, go on, now. Bang in your head. All right, so the guys are just walking back up after having done. We've actually done a steady two hours, 20 minutes. Yeah, some of that was on Mike's world famous obstacle course. Stunning effort to be fair. And even Mike impressed. Mike himself, we gave him a vest, we redefined him possibly on the back. And he did the stairway to heaven, as he said, the first time he's ever been able to do it. He's had so many injuries and stuff going on that's wrecked his body. There's actually, he had to do the demo today. And he did, it was awesome to see that. Power of a new vest. Exactly. He's got some little bit of magic inside it. I hope she's a redefining impossible. And then he said he was impressed. There were some of the obstacles. We were sort of at the back and people were jumping over these massive things and what I'm thinking, oh, crag, we have to do that now. And then Mike actually said, out of all the groups that he says, they don't often get many people. We're out of a group of 15 that you'd have maybe more than five. And we had pretty much everybody doing the majority. Very impressive. Just goes to show. I sense I get ready for anything. Out in the real world, it's very exciting. As we climb the final steps, you can see some tired legs tonight there. Yeah, that's everywhere. So start of day two. Nice and early, trying to catch a little bit of the sunrise. It was a great day out on that assault course. Day two, we're kicking off, we're handstands. And then we're getting into some of our progressions towards some of the bigger movements. Leavers, human flags, muscle-ups. And we're gonna do some of that up here at the gym. We're gonna do some of that down on the beach. Mike's got a rig that he takes down, puts up at the beach. Then you get your chistex training done actually on the beach. Which is pretty epic. So you're gonna see that beautiful sun come up. It might be that you see someone and they've just got the vest on. And you're like, so you look like a dude that would buy that vest or has he been to my bar and got one for free because he came on the trip.  And I'm like, that looks like a chump that would buy a t-shirt. And I come in and the safety is like, we can just hang, oh yeah, it's the schoolcast. Oh yeah, come here, nice. I actually went to my bar and got mine for free. Oh, and he's like, oh yeah, no, I saw that trip. I'd like to go on that. Or it might be that we see each other and he's like, I give him the eyebrows. And it looks like we're just doing a handshake, but we come in, we slide past, we come, we double tap, and we fist bump because we know we've been on the schoolcast. So that is the handshake. So we'll go through slowly for you. It starts with, it starts with an acknowledgement that you both know what's going on. But remember that if you've, maybe he just fancies me and he's given me those and we come in, you've always got the get out.  But what we're gonna do, we're gonna come in, we slide past and you can give him a little bit of something actually if you want. But mumbo, and then you can be a bit of an expressive interpretation of how you want to finish that. We've done a bit up at the temple where we're looking at the bottom up, where we build it up from a frog stand and the strength progression is to get there. But what we need to, if we're gonna do this frog tan stand, not only do we need the strength to get up to the top, we need to get up to the top, we need to have the balance and the control to be able to hold that in position. So we're using the wall both ways around, kicking up and walking up just to teach us one, the body line, the body position, supported by the wall or assisted by the wall for that end position. And then having a chance to practice what is the balance like by taking one leg or two legs off. And guys have done a great job. Nice doggy. A little bit of action now for the human flag. Quite a few people wanting to learn it, but they are relatively beat early days on their human flag journey. So Jaco just broke it down. I let him crack on with this one, the head of human flags, that's his job. So I tend not to interfere too much, I get to just relax and watch everyone train for a bit. Might show off at the end of the session. Really strong pushing, really strong pulling, connecting the hip on that topside. So if I can put those things together, I got a clap. The world records one minute and six seconds. See the sea, no matter where it is, when it is, you've got to never been standing up on a paddle board in before. It's very choppy out there. Michael said there's no chance we're even going to stand up. We shall see. Of course. You and yourself. Thank you very much. It was a fantastic experience. I like it. I was lying out in the ocean, floating on a paddle board thinking, when am I moving to space? It's been a good day. Timbo, we have a problem. That left shoe, either my foot, my left foot has grown. Oh, you have one massive left foot. It works for me. You didn't even notice. That's too much, Chris. I'm not bothered. I don't wear anybody's shoes. Day two, done. All right, we'll do a little bit of upper body. Sorry, lower body wants to get you guys moving as well. So this team is going to start. No power drivers. Three, two, one, go. Definitely don't hesitate.  I have done so much stuff. You've got any sticking points. Have you ever wondered what kind of things it's about that I highly recommend coming down on so much in these three days? You read the script perfect.


You said seem like you were getting hard get it and hit hard from the get go What did you feel like was going wrong out there for you? Being fast will come in wasn't there today You know the first thing they hit it hard, but you know if you hit a ball hard in south He's still you know, it's a good pitch, but after that thing I was traveling the big boy my fast woman You mentioned the fast ball command is that why you relied so heavily on that change up early? Yeah We'll have that that you know confidence in my fastball or not throwing and what I want to throw you know I had to get to my secondary pitches And who run darling on TV I mean if he's my pitching coach said that to you you can believe it, but you know, he's not Whatever he said that he's not always in my book and how he knows what's on is going out. No, I came out 20 minutes before the game like I should have do so I know what he's was saying I know who that guy is here So there was no confusion on this what time this game started right now I was it was you know from again at this, you know, you know You have to remember what time it is. Yeah, I have no confusion with the time Video getting into the bullpen at 732 and you had not started warming up was that what time you expected to get out there? Yeah, I always go the bullpen thing. I mean is it for the game? I work my quickly. So that's open my plan It's 10 minutes before that's when you started on the pitch. Yeah, so Did you feel good coming out of that bullpen, did you feel like yeah, I mean I had a quick four shinnies, you know I mean the pause a couple games. I was describing the first inning So quick inning, I know Was down a little bit tonight. Did you feel that I didn't you know They only feel you know, I was I was on top of my game, you know faster woman Like I say it wasn't there and you know when you not commanding your staff against a line on that days You couldn't travel How disappointed are you when you're outing now that? This is most lopsided Yankees playoff loss ever you guys are not one game from the nation How are you taking this? Of course, I'm disappointed, you know every time they give me the ball I want to compete when they win the game But you know after that they give out After you know about that having the last inning that we lost the it's all behind, you know We need to come back tomorrow. We have a great guy in the Mount tomorrow. So we're gonna compete and win the game


Never seen a product like this. I actually really, really enjoy it. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. Today I want to do a little review or a big review on this big shotgun 5X by the house of VPX. Now you may have not heard of VPX, but you've probably heard of bang energy VPX created bang energy before they were kind of notorious for their red line energy drinks, which are also insanely strong. It's very rare that I'll come across a product that I truly have not seen before that tries to cover all of these bases into one and actually kind of does it.  There has been stuff like this before, but I have never come across a product like this. It's pretty much like an all in one pre-workout, intro workout and post workout. Now technically you could probably get a higher dose of protein than what's in here. It only has about close to 10 grams, between nine and a half and 10 grams of protein, but it's got a lot of different kinds of protein. It's got a lot of different amino acids. It's got a lot of BCAAs. It's got a lot of added glutamine and then on top of that, it has whey protein isolate and then also casein protein isolate. So whey protein digest in about 45 minutes. You get it like that. Casein digest a little bit slower. So it's, you're going to get that protein over a longer period of time. And then they also have different amino acid profiles too.  Each kind of protein has different amino acids. So when you mix them, you get a more balanced profile. So just a very, very good once over as far as protein. Now let's got this pump matrix. Again, I'm probably going to try to put this, put the supplement facts on screen so you can follow along with me. A lot of these ingredients are kind of like two supplements blended together. And I haven't really researched it. It's got a lot of unique ingredients that I have not studied. So I'm just going to give you my basic understanding of what I, what it is or what I think it is. And so we start off with creatine, glucoconates, creatine, toronate and creatine monohydrates. So basically three kinds of creatine. Apparently creatine is just overall good for you. It's supposed to increase your muscle strength naturally. And it has a lot of other health benefits. People used to say that it just stores water in your muscles. So it's like, it's going to give you this fake pump. And then once you stop taking creatine, it's going to go away. But since then, it seems to be like one of the absolute best things that you could add to your workout. And people add it to usually about five grams. We don't know how much is in here because it's kind of a proprietary blend, but you have three different kinds. So I would expect it to be pretty good. Citrulline malate. Now that's like one of the most notorious pump boosters. I think L citrulline is probably a little bit more potent. But L citrulline malate is going to probably help with digestion a little bit better. It's just L citrulline mixed with malic acid. And malic acid helps settle your stomach quite a bit. Yeah. And we got this thing called a BPOV. I don't know what that is. Biz Coca Lonito Oxo Vanadium. I've heard of vanadium. And I think vanadium is supposed to be really good, but I've never heard of this one. Arginine L malate. So arginine and citrulline are very, very similar. L citrulline is a metabolite of arginine, but when you take a lot of L citrulline, it puts more arginine in your blood versus if you just take arginine. So it's like a back door to get arginine, but they have both different kinds in here. MTB pump. I don't know what that is, but it has magnesium, which I like magnesium, creatinol, o-phosphate. I think that's has more creatinine. I don't know. Maybe I'll put it on screen. Gamma butchered. I don't know what this one is either. The last two, the two of these gammas, I'll try to put the gammas on screen. I have no idea what they are, but they're in the pump matrix, so they probably add pump. Now we have another matrix, which is more of the, it says power, strength, and endurance matrix, beta alanine. Now beta alanine, some people like it, some people don't like it. It gives you that pre-workout tingle. Like I was saying, this is like a pre-workout and a post-workout all in one. It's going to give you insane pumps, but it's also going to give you some of the recovery of protein, which is pretty impressive. Creatine magnesium cellate. So another version of creatine, and I like magnesium. I like that it's blended there. Another version of beta alanine. So we have two versions of beta alanine here. And then glycine. Now glycine, from my understanding, I think it like puts more water in your brain. It's just overall very good. It's good for pumps. It puts more water in your muscles and in your brain, from my understanding. So it's just overall good. Then the last thing they got on here is caffeine anhydrous and ltyrosine. Now apparently it contains 200 milligrams of caffeine per scoop, but then it only has 204 milligrams in the matrix with ltyrosine. So did you put four milligrams of ltyrosine in here? That's not going to do anything. But the caffeine anhydrous, along with the beta alanine and the citrulline, that's what's going to give you the pump. I looked on Amazon and people say that they kind of have stuck with this product for years and years and years. One of the only downsides is it's only got 20 scoops. And I think it's about $35. So that's like almost $2 a scoop. But at the same time, for everything that you get in here, it's pretty crazy. Anyways, guys, I've really, really enjoyed this product. If it was like 25 bucks, 30 bucks, I would definitely pick it up all the time. But I also see why it is so expensive. I mean, you could probably cut out half these ingredients and it still would be really popular. Still would be very, very effective. And never seen a product like this. I actually really, really enjoy it. What's your go-to pre-workout? What's your go-to post-workout? I'll be very interested to see. I really, really enjoyed this stuff. Some people say that the taste wasn't that good. This one had the watermelon taste. And again, I got this one for super cheap. So it might have been like the worst flavor. I don't know. I'm almost down to the bottom. And don't be afraid either, if it's a little clumpy, because I bought this saying that it was clumpy. So I got it for cheaper. Take a look at this scooper.  This is a 20 gram scooper. Most pre-workouts is about like a six to a seven gram scooper. This one's a 20.  So anyways, guys, let me know what you think of Shotgun 5x. Let me know what your favorite pre-workouts are. Be very interested to see down below. We're on the road of 50,000 subscribers, and I couldn't do without any of you guys. I hope you guys are the best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.


Abstract optoelectronic synaptic devices integrating light perception and signal storage functions have been developed with the aim of achieving neuromorphic computing for visual information processing, complex brain light learning, memorization, and reasoning. These devices were grown on gold nanorot arrays, which served as guides for precursor nucleation. Characterizations of the resulting monolayer MOS2 arrays showed that they were homogenous single layers and were further fabricated into optoelectronic devices. The devices exhibited photo currents and optical responses and were used to study the behavior of synapses under different light stimulation. This behavior was modeled after the brain's ability to store and retrieve information and included features such as short-term potentiation, long-term potentiation, and paired pulse facilitation. Additionally, a visual sensing system was constructed from five by six pixels, which simulated the light sensing capabilities of the brain. Finally, this system was able to use associated images to restore vague or incomplete memories, demonstrating the ability of these devices to mimic human intelligent behaviors. This article was authored by Ming Huang, Wajid Ali, Liu Li Yang, and others. We are article.tv, links in the description below.


In addition to showing anatomic structures, functional ultrasound shows color image maps that can indicate the softness or hardness of specific tissues, movement and velocity of tissue or blood, and other physical characteristics. One type of functional ultrasound is Doppler ultrasound. If you've ever listened to how a siren sounds as it approaches, passes and drives away, you are hearing what's called the Doppler effect. The waveform is compressed as the ambulance approaches, making it sound higher pitched, and it's stretched as the ambulance departs, making it sound lower. Doppler ultrasound uses the same principle to determine the speed and direction of the blood inside your arteries. The transducer is held at an angle to the blood vessel, and the altered frequency of the echo returning to the transducer from the blood flow tells the computer the blood speed and direction. This information is displayed in different colors on the final image to show changes in or absence of blood flow, indicating blocked or narrowing blood vessels, decreased circulation, heart valve defects, blood clots, bulging arteries, or even the presence of new blood vessels and flow in tumors. Another form of functional ultrasound, elastography, can be used to differentiate tumors from healthy tissue based on the tissue's relative stiffness. Healthy tissue and benign tumors tend to be compressible, unlike malignant tumors, which are more firm. This compression was originally done manually, but newer elastography systems send out high-pressure pulses that compress target tissues by a predefined amount of force and display the resulting compression levels in various coded colors.
