John Wanda's Johnny Donner Oh, what can I do for you? We insured Jonathan fellows somebody tried to kill him. Is that the Jonathan fellows the industrialist? Yeah, his wife went to the police, but fellas refuses any protection doesn't seem worried Considered a potential assassin just a crank. What do you want me to do? Look into it? We insured fellows for a half million I suggest you talk to his wife first Incidentally concerns time According to the Bible To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. We all agree on that I'm sure and we'll also agree that the regulation of time also depends on the season for example Did it ever occur to you who decided where our poor time zones in America should be exactly? Well back maybe 75 years ago There were about a hundred fifty different time zones which were set up according to the whim of the local inhabitant Most of the time was called Sun time and there could be 15 minutes difference between the clocks of two towns only 10 miles apart So to get rid of the confusion the Interstate Commerce Commission was established It divided the United States into four standard time zones so that railroads planes buses and the mail could run on schedule Of course if the city wants to go on daylight saving time during the summer that's a decision which is made locally The standard time remains the same everywhere else But setting the nation's clocks isn't the only job of the Interstate Commerce Commission, however It also makes rules and regulations for the various means of transportation which go from one state to another It seems that railroads truck lines barges and boats operate safely Charge reasonable rates and give good dependable service It also protects trucks and bus drivers from working such long hours that they might fall asleep while they're driving The Commission also demands that trains engines and machines have safety and stop devices It is in itself a safety device to assure every one of us Freedom from danger as we travel about our country Defeated by a special investigator Johnny dollar to home office intercontinental indemnity and bonding cooperation New York City The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Jonathan bellows matter Express account item one twenty nine dollars and sixty five cents mileage and incidentals between a heartbreak in New York City I Arrived at number one Park Avenue close to two o'clock Mrs. Edith bellows a very attractive redhead somewhere in the early 30s Met me at bar and showed me into her luxurious apartment Thank you, Mr. Stern explained the situation to you only that someone tried to kill your husband Yes, day before yesterday, but Jonathan was walking in the garden someone shot at him Fortunately, they missed Mr. Stern said your husband refused police protection He's a very unusual man, Mr. Dollar. I would say so. It's not a young man 63 He's retiring and doesn't particularly care for people, especially people who meddle Unfortunately, he considers the police meddlers. Has he had any kind of protection? No, there's any worry Well, he doesn't show it, but knowing him as I do I'd say he's mildly concerned Someone takes a shot at him and he's only mildly concerned. It's the nature of the beast Mr. Dollar Well, I'm sure you're aware that intercontinental indemnity is more than mildly concerned Yes, and so am I, but a whole family for that matter I'm certainly give you all the cooperation that I can I think everyone else in the family will be greatly relieved Except your husband I'm afraid he won't like it much It'll be pretty hard investigating if he has me thrown out of my ear Who are you, one thing in your favor? You're not a policeman Yeah But when I'm on a job, Mrs. Bellos, I've been known to meddle and meddle and meddle About Jonathan Bellos Mrs. Bellos had married him eight years before Taking her place as number three in his collection of wives Her predecessors had retired to lives of leisure on their alibi Bellos had one son Ralph by his first marriage now 23 years Around three o'clock. We went downstairs and climbed into a bright new station wagon an hour later We were driving up a long circular driveway the bed to the Bellos mansion We parked and went in Jonathan's probably in the library. Hi. Oh Hello, Mr. Dollar, this is Ralph Bellos. How do you do? How do you do the insurance? Yeah Everyone know about this? Everyone except your husband.

Bellos certainly, but I'm sure you must have gathered this sort of thing can create some very unfavorable publicity Do you think this Frank Victor is alive? He must be I've never told anyone of this incident Oh, there were certainly other people involved what happened. Yes, but no one who was out to get me Why would anyone else but Frank Victor want to kill me, but he didn't give you Maybe it was someone who knew of the accident, but what would he have to gain?  Bellos Yours, but why wait this long 30 years? I have to admit that can astouse me You've been a big man in the business world for a long time Nobody ever have any trouble locating you. What do you intend doing first going back to New York? Why oh lots of little things Mr. Dollar as long as I have taken you into my comfort mr. Bellos Someone took a shot at you.  Well, I think you'll be returning Properly tomorrow that you can stay at the town apartment. I want to be in touch with you You might just as well take advantage of the empty apartment the number one Park Avenue. Yes, I know I'll see you tomorrow I left without saying goodbye to the rest of the family and drove the bright new station wagon back to town I stopped off at the time where I wallowed through the morgue file for three or four hours I went back 30 years to find what I was looking for a small article dated the shanty Africa 1923 I Didn't say much more than what Jonathan bellows had already told me It mentioned the mine cave in an appending investigation into the death of Frank Victor Jonathan bellows partner In an addition dated three weeks later I found the account of the investigation and a verified bellows story about the verdict Satisfied I left the newspaper and drove to number one Park Avenue Where I received a royal greeting from the door man who informed me that mr. Bellows had phone to make sure I had everything I needed In the apartment I poured myself a drink took off my shoes stretched out on the sofa and put in a call to Roger Stern Yes, I want some information on the bellows family past and present sure Find out where his other two wives are and how long they've been there And find out about a professor wilt wilt.

Yeah to see some friends Where's Ralph? Well, you know that just after you left this afternoon Jonathan gave him a pretty harsh folding Been shopping package for your husband called me about an hour and a half ago. Wanted me to pick it up What is it? I don't know but it's heavy. Well, I'll see you later, mr. Dollar Mrs. Bellows, yes, your husband's a healthy man, isn't it? Yes, of course. Why well when I talked to him on the phone He sounded well, what? Well, I don't know. It's strange. I just said goodbye to a meeting fine He played chess with a professor until about seven. I saw him right after that. He seemed fine then There's nothing to matter with my husband, mr. Dollar. He's in the library, huh? Yes I have a good time. Oh, thank you. Bye. Hello, dollar What you said when you left you weren't coming back for tomorrow the one I talked to you on the phone Talked to be on the phone. Yeah, when you asked me to pick up this package package Yeah here From that bar. Oh Yes, the package Mr. Bellows give me the package. What's wrong with you? Nothing's wrong. Just give me the package. It's very important I've got to open it Okay We're sure you're all right Mr. Bellows thought you'd gone out. Yeah, just got in. I was just calling a company doctor Doctor I think there's something wrong with your father What do you mean? He called me about an hour and a half ago told me to pick up a package I just brought it into him and he acted like he never even phoned me Well, maybe it didn't maybe someone else right when he saw the package you seem to know all about it It was odd It was as though I suddenly wasn't even in the room. He took the pack The whole building was coming down around my ears Ralph and I were thrown back against the wall by the time we got up the library was a smoking black hole Jonathan bellows had been blown to Kingdom come Planted in the package I'd given him I Called the police and Ralph located Mrs. Bellows And I jumped back into the station wagon and doubled the speed limit getting back to town The police would be busy enough until I got back. I wanted to get hold of that bartender who had given me the package By the time I got to the blue pheasant It was pretty well filled with customers But the bartender I was looking for wasn't in sight. The bartender was working here earlier. He gets off at 8. Where does he live? Why I'm collecting addresses. Now. Where does he live? You collect addresses. I collect wise guys beat it Look friend that bartender is mixed up in a killing blood murder. He's a bad boy Now you want to give me his address or do I make a call and flood this place with cops murder? You know when someone dies the hard way and society frowns. Oh, come on. What's his name? Where did he live? Well, Phillips 588 East 157th Street. Thanks. You've been just wonderful. I didn't know as anything Like murder you're honest if I'd have known I wouldn't have given you please please. I'm getting all choked up 157th Street and found 588 East a big apartment house Earl Phillips was registered in 405.

Yes I left the bomb with her in the air There's a bartender I've known for a long time. He didn't know anything about it, but he He would have identified me as the one who gave him the package And bellows was hypnotized when I walked into the library with the package now post hypnotic suggestion told him money was given the package Take it immediately You can hypnotize a man Tell him to do something hours later when he's awake, and he'll do it.

Chester Alan Arthur


Hi, I'm reading from Naked Lunch by Holy Burroughs and I have to say it almost takes the First Amendment junkie like me to love a book like Naked Lunch.  It's been favorably compared with or he has been favorably compared with Walt Whitman, Dante, Mark Twain and St. Augustine and he needed all those kinds of comparisons in order to get out of an obscenity suit after the book was banned in Boston. Naked Lunch lost on the first round. It was also banned in Los Angeles around the same time in the mid-60s, not long after it was printed in this country and but it won in the second round and it was pretty good for a book whose own author called it necessarily brutal, obscene and disgust. The first round but it won because of its socially redeeming value and one of the reasons it was found socially redeeming is that addiction is it's not just about addiction to junk or derivatives of opium but it's about addiction as a metaphor for the addiction to power to control over others and to consumption which characterize our society as a whole. In Naked Lunch it appears the only way to avoid victimization is to victimize but the victimizer is merely another victim of the system and of his own habit. I'm going to read a sort of a Kafkaesque passage about a guy named Dr. Benway. Dr. Benway had been called in as adviser to the Freeland Republic, a place given over to free love and continual bathing. The citizens are well adjusted cooperatives, honest, tolerant and above all clean but the invoking of Benway indicates all is not well behind that a hygienic facade. Benway is a manipulator and coordinator of symbol systems and expert on all phases of interrogation, brainwashing and control. I have not seen Benway since his precipitate departure from Annexia where his first assignment had been total demoralization, TD. Benway's first act was to abolish concentration camps, mass arrest and except under certain limited and special circumstances the use of torture. ID plur brutality he said it's not efficient. On the other hand prolonged mistreatment short of physical violence gives rise when skillfully applied to anxiety and a feeling of special guilt. A few rules or rather guiding principles are to be born in mind. The subject must not realize that the mistreatment is a deliberate attack of an anti-human enemy on his personal identity. He must be made to feel that he deserves any treatment he receives because there is something never specified horribly wrong with him. The naked need of the control addicts must be decently covered by an arbitrary and intricate bureaucracy so that the subject cannot contact his enemy direct. Every citizen of Annexia was required to apply for and carry on his person at all times a whole portfolio of documents. Citizens were subject to be stopped in the street at any time and the examiner who might be in plain clothes in various uniforms often in a bathing suit or pajamas sometimes stark naked except for a badge pinned to his left nipple after checking each paper would stamp it. On subsequent inspection the citizen was required to show the properly entered stamps of the last inspection. The examiner when he stopped a large group would only examine and stamp the cards of a few. The others were then subject to arrest because their cards were not properly stamped. Arrest meant provisional detention that is the prisoner would be released if and when his affidavit of explanation properly signed and stamped was approved by the assistant arbiter of explanations. Since this official hardly ever came to his office and the affidavit of explanation had to be presented in person. The examiner spent weeks and months waiting around in unheated offices with no chairs and no toilet facilities. Documents issued in vanishing ink faded into old pawn tickets. New documents were constantly required. The citizen rushed from one bureau to another in a frenzied attempt to meet impossible deadlines. All benches were removed from the city. All fountains turned off. All flowers and trees destroyed. Huge electric buzzers on the rang the quarter hour. Often the vibrations would throw people out of bed. Searchlights played over the town all night. No one was permitted to use shades, curtains, shutters or blinds. No one ever looked at anyone else because of the strict law against import tuning with or without verbal approach. Anyone for any purpose, sexual or otherwise. All cafes and bars were closed. Liquor could only be obtained with a special permit and the liquor so obtained could not be sold or given or in any way transferred to anyone else and the presence of anyone else in the room was considered prima facie evidence of conspiracy to transfer liquor. No one was permitted to bolt his door and the police had pass keys to every room in the city. Accompanied by a mentalist, they rush into someone's quarters and start looking for it. The mentalist guides them to whatever the man wishes to hide. A tube of Vaseline, an enema, a handkerchief with calm on it, a weapon, unlicensed alcohol and they always submitted the person to the most humiliating search of his naked person on which they make smearing and derogatory comments.  And what is this supposed to be for? It's a pen wiper. A pen wiper, he says. I've heard everything now. I guess this is all we need.  After a few months of this, the citizens cowered in their corners like neurotic cats.


So for the alpha helix in particular, if I just draw it this way, it might look like a collection of atoms. But we could of course look at this as a surface representation. And look at the surface representation, you kind of, there's kind of like some edges and valleys here, right? We can draw some lines here roughly along the edges, or you can take the same atoms but draw lines in the other direction. And it's not, maybe it's not so much the edges here, but the rifts between the edges. So what if I take another copy of that helix and now try to put them on top of each other? It would be kind of neat to pack the edges against the rifts, right? What that is going to lead to is that if I take a structure like this, there are edges either in roughly 25 degrees or minus 45 degrees, or minus 25 and plus 45 degrees. If I then take a second helix and I'm going to pack them, there is no way I can pack them like that efficiently. Because that would mean that I would have clashes between these edges. It would be empty space. But what if I take them and rotate just a bit? This again does not look good. But if you look at the very crossing point here, then I could have the edges and the valleys fit perfectly to each other. We see that in real protein structures. So in this particular case, it's hemoglobin. We'll get back to what the Siem group does. Actually, sorry, this is myoglobin I think. It's binding oxygen in your muscles, if it's myoglobin. And you see that all these helices, they appear to be thrown in almost randomly. But these crossing angles fulfill these conditions where they cross to make sure that the ridges and the valleys fit with each other. Which again, we're in this hierarchical structure building. And instead of having amino acids and building secondary structures, we're now taking stable secondary structures and using those to build larger components. In theory, you could call that tertiary structure, but we haven't really formed an entire protein yet. So sometimes when we talk about collections or a few secondary structure elements, we tend to use the name super secondary structure. And you might see that in a few cases. So think of super secondary structure as common elements involving more than one secondary structure element, but it's not quite yet a full protein.


What's happening? What is translation? I see she says you are completely different. Whatever. Nice to meet you. I don't know your names, but you're cool. Okay, go on. Should I have a break? Gosh, thank you. I'm glad you're here. Let's go. Taking a long time. Yeah, we shouldn't hurry. Sorry. Why don't you get a lap? You should like your lip when you play. You're gonna get stuck that way. It's a lovely way. You have to stop doing it now. You can sit down, you can text. You know? Down, text. Don't worry. One, two, two, ten. Two, two. Can we try again? I can't hear my toes speak. How about now? One, two. Let's just get started. We used to play this part a real game, Nina. I was reported one month ago. Two stories. I mean, if you imagine that I'm this tall. I have an almond shape. I have a little bit darker skin. And very, very long black hair. And then you join. And a voice of an angel. I did it on her. Okay. I finally... Hello. Hi. How are you tonight? Hello. Hi everybody. So my name is Kami. And I'm a working mother. And I'm really happy to be here tonight with all of you. Because tonight we are going to be speaking about some of my favorite subjects. We will be speaking about women. Yes? We will be speaking about opportunities for women. We're going to be talking a little bit about traveling the world and making your dreams come true. And most importantly, we will be speaking about women helping other women. And before I tell you my story, I would like it very much. There's a lot of you here tonight. That makes me very happy. So I would like it very much if we could all of us share this experience about love. So let me see. I can't see all the way to the back. I'm gonna... Can I ask you all to please close your eyes? Just for a few seconds. Please close your eyes. Thank you. Okay. So now I want you to imagine that you are five years old. You're at home. You're in the kitchen. And the whole kitchen smells like warm milk and cinnamon and just a touch of strawberry jam. And I want you to look over to the stove and you're gonna see someone there. It is a woman. And she's stirring in a pot. She looks at you and she smiles lovingly.  And she leans in. She kisses you on the forehead and she tells you, Be careful honey. It's hot. Picture this woman. Picture her truly. And now picture her walking out the door to go to work.  You're all alone in the house. And your rice milk is cold. You can open your eyes now. Thank you very much for sharing this with me. So for me, and let's face it, for how many of you not working was simply never an option. And my children were always lucky enough to still have that person by their side to kiss them on the forehead and tell them, Be careful honey. It's hot.  Her name is Joy and she is my guardian angel. So let's welcome her on stage Joy. Can you please join me? Can we all give a warm round of applause for Joy? Warmer. We opened our first business, a beauty parlor. We used to have four Romanians for beauty and we had one Filipina for massage. Every single evening, six o'clock on the dot, all of the Romanians would just drop everything and disappear. Nobody knew where they went. In the meantime, the Filipina would be in her room. She was praying for clients. She was praying for prosperity and she was nice and quiet, well behaved and extremely punctual. So as you can imagine, when we opened our domestic helper agency, we didn't hire any more Romanians. We got four Filipinas instead. And now we have five, four for the business and I have one for the home. So let's just say, let's just say for a second that you are interested in hiring a Filipina to be your own personal domestic helper. And the question is, how do I choose, right? Well, first of all, don't choose a woman who doesn't have her own children. No, they don't miss them. I mean, they get used to it and seriously with Skype and Facebook and all these gadgets we've got nowadays. You really get to miss anybody and enjoy.  Because I think not in any case, children are their reason for work.  She has no attachments. She has no obligations. So who knows what she could do. Secondly, do not hire a woman who went to college because they tend to have aspirations. And then Romania is just a stepping stone for them. Most of them want to make it into Western Europe. And then you've got illegal papers, you know, mafia, complications. No, no, no. What you want is a woman who is happy to be here, who is happy to be of help.  You see, I go to the Philippines. I go twice a year for recruitment. And it's crowded. It's dirty. And I know you're thinking Romania or something like that right now. No, think again. People in the Philippines are born in the streets. They live their lives in the streets.  So you can imagine. Now, of course, of course, there are going to be cultural differences. Yes, of course, you need to take them into account. For example, you cannot raise your voice because in their culture, this is considered taboo. These are all the more reasons for you to embrace your role. We're always advising our clients to maintain a healthy distance because obviously people are going to want to seat them at their table, treat them as their own kind. And I keep telling these people, no, to know their place. And at the end of the day, you need to remember, you're not buying a buddy. Your Filipina maid is a considerable financial investment. This girl right here, Joy. Joy. $3,500 just to get her from the Philippines to here. Another $400 per monthly salary. Another $400 in taxes to the Romanian state. At the end of her two-year stay, you are the one who has to fly her back to the Philippines so she gets to see her family. So what you get is a two-month trial period. And what we advise you in order for you to get your money's worth is during this time, really try her.  And of course, if you are still not satisfied, we will provide you with a second one with a 30% discount. You see, the thing is that they need to put you up on a pedestal. What is it that you think that you are solving by treating them as your equals?  Because you're not, your gestures are not going to solve inequality. And the second that you step down off of that pedestal, that's when you're the one who's causing trouble. It is psychological. They need to know that they're working for someone who is above them. This is what keeps them going. This and the thought of their children. Back home. Because this money pays for their children's education. It pays for building a house. So do you really, do you really want to help them? Then let them work for you and maybe in a generation or two, they will be at the same level as you are. Please believe me, they are in the best possible conditions. You know who managed to save this much money a month? I'll tell you how many. You don't know any. Do you pay rent? Excuse me, do you sir, do you pay rent? No, do you pay expenses, electricity, water, stuff like that? No, you don't. Lucky, does anybody here pay rent? Let me see. Do you pay rent? Okay. The Filipinos don't pay rent. Do you pay rent? Okay. Do you buy your own food? Yes, you do. Okay. They don't buy their own food. Everything that they need is provided to them by their Romanian employer. And now, think of all of the Romanians that you know who are working abroad in far, far worse conditions, and look at the Filipinos. They go on expensive holidays. They spend their weekends at the mall. Joy, Joy, dear, can you please tell me what is a fancy food that you had when you were on holiday with the Nasers? Baluga caviar, pasta with truffle. And now, think of your poorer relatives. Think of your aunt who had 12 abortions.  Think of generations of abandoned children whose mothers are taking care of old Italian men. Think of all of those things. Your name is Ana.  And I will be making baby food. I will take them out to the park to play. I will be changing the diapers and tidying their rooms. Oh my God, man. Well, these people are so, so rich. In this house, even the door handles are in lane with crystal. And you never saw such chandeliers in your whole life. Rodika, their housekeeper, had to keep them sparkling clean. And there is this one in the kitchen hanging low and the madam always passes by and she checks it. It's dirty. Oh, Rodika is in trouble. One time she let it hang too low and madam kicked her head on it. Nothing happened, but she still made such a fuss out of it. Did I tell you today give me a free day on Monday? Yeah, Monday is no fun, man. Well, I would like it to be Sunday and meet the other Filipinas and go to the church together and maybe in the evening go to a karaoke club or something. Like, madam said I should better try to integrate. Socialize with the Romanians, so joy. You can visit the galleries and you can take advantage of the fact that you are in Europe now. Yes, man. Museums are closed on Monday. Did I tell you that I asked me for my passport? Yes, they said it's best for you to go all the way on both sides. Joy says she'd first like to speak to Kami and consult with her procedure. Of course, according to Kami, everything the employers say is just that standard procedure. But Joy is very happy to have this job, so she doesn't argue about it. She was surprised that the husband was shorter than the wife and when I say shorter, I mean like, whoop, mitten. Anyhow, he's also older. He's in his 50s, she's 25, and his name is Andi Nasir. Yes, he comes from Iran, of course. And Joy wants to ask him how did she end up here? She doesn't ask him, because she thinks it's none of her business and if you will look at her she doesn't really speak unless she's spoken to. And besides this guy, this Andi guy, he looks kind of stern, severe. And at first, Joy was a little bit afraid of him. Never, never let yourself be scared by a serious man miss Philippines. She really liked smacking the kids. I'm kidding. Her brothers, not so much, just Joy. So when Joy left Manila, she had a talk with her mother and she told her mom, effort lay a finger on me and then they both sat down at the kitchen table and cried, and cried, and cried. Really, they cried a lot. So the next day, the children are with their grandparents and oh my god, Rodika doesn't really show up and there's nobody to chat with on Facebook. So Joy thinks, why don't I make them a surprise? And what does she do? She cleans the entire kitchen and she cooks them this delicious chicken adobo. When madam came from the gym, she was so excited, she praised me and she told him, look, she made such a wonderful dish but she didn't eat it. And I didn't eat it. Yeah, actually, Andi didn't even look at Christina while she was speaking which made this now horribly upset and she went up to her room and Andi followed her but then five minutes later, he left the house slamming the door. So now, Joy is eating adobo chicken by herself, watching TV in the living room. She's watching the X Factor Romania. She wouldn't stay always in the house, ma'am. Otherwise you would become a fetish chismosa. Chismosa? A word in the Filipino language, meaning, I don't know what it means. Anyhow, the next day, she's gonna ask him for two salaries in advance. I made it to pay for my mother's operation. Oh yes, mommy dear again. So let me tell you what mommy dear did when Joy first got pregnant with ma'am. You see, Joy was studying communication engineering in Manila. She was in her second year of studies and her mother stopped paying for her schooling and it wasn't that expensive. The girl was on scholarship so anyhow, because mother just wouldn't pay the rest of the tuition, Joy here never graduated. So at nine o'clock, Christina says, I have a headache and she goes to sleep, right? But Joy can see that the woman's upset. She doesn't say anything, she takes the kids, she puts them to sleep and then of course, she goes to bed herself and makes her up like this. Sleeping? Yes sir, I'm sorry. Is there something wrong? No. No, nothing's wrong. Yeah, he woke her up like that. And then the next night, Joy hears Andi and Christina arguing and of course, she doesn't really understand it because well, they're arguing in Romanian and she doesn't speak Romanian yet. But she knows what it's about. Andi has been cheating on Christina and Christina, old man, found out about it and she got very upset. But late, late in the night, Joy heard Christina scream.  The glimpse of the bruises on her arms. Oh my God, me. Christina shouting at Rodica. Mure, Andi, go away. Rodica's sleeping some of the genderly and Christos into her pocket. And I told her to put a mask but she said she wouldn't because she's not coming back. In the evening, Sir Andi came into the children's room while Joy was putting them to sleep. He kissed them goodnight. He tucked them in, which he never does. And then he went over to Joy and he kissed her on the cheek. My dearest, when she was putting the kids to sleep, he hugged them and then he went over to Joy and he kissed her on the lips like this. Something really bad happened to me today. Christina, around four o'clock, she says she's gonna go to the hairdressers. She's gonna take Grandma with her. And before she leaves the house, she calls Andi.  But, um, Joy, who's an intuitive person, she can feel her own heartbeat, you know, she can sense there's gonna be trouble. Sure enough, half an hour later, Andi shows up. Now Joy grabs Jamal into her arms instinctively, maybe even as a shield. Oh, sir, you are homerly. He doesn't answer. He grabs her arm. He pushes her. He starts forcing himself on her, but on cue, Jamal starts crying. So Joy grabs the baby into her arms and she starts running. She's going up the stairs. She's thinking, what do I do? Where do I go? So she goes into the kids' bathroom and she, uh, thinks, I know, I'll put the baby on the changing table and open his diaper. But he wasn't done with me. I could hear him coming up the stairs. So now she wants to lock the door to the kids' bathroom, but the kids' bathroom doesn't have a key. So the man gets upstairs. He pushes the door open. His pants. He pushes Joy against the wall. And Joy can feel his heart on. As she's struggling, she sees Jamal is crawling off the table. Jamal is falling. So she launches for the baby and she breaks free of the man, but now Joy is free. She grabs Jamal into her arms. She starts running on the corridor. She's going to her room. She gets to her room. She locks the door this time.  And she joins in her room and she's checking the baby first times of injury and she doesn't see anything. Twenty minutes later, Jamal is still crying and she doesn't know what to do. If she steps outside her room, she might get raped. If she stays inside, the boy could die of head trauma. As she's trying to figure a way out, she hears on the door, this macaroni and cheese in the fridge. Sir, I think we should have Jamal checked. Joy Jamal is strong for a young boy. He's fine. Listen, nothing happened. So relax. Okay? And then she hears his footsteps going down the stairs. And then she hears the microwave go. And then Jamal actually does stop crying. In the evening, I locked myself in the bathroom and I texted Rodika. I told her that I wanted to call the police. Rodika texted her back. Yes, Fatah, we go. We get them, people! And goes to her room. But a few moments later, Christina barges into the room, as Joy is packing her things. I didn't mean to fire you. You're a good soul. And thank you for taking care of my baby Joy. You have to stay. No, man, I think I better go now. No, you can't go now because I can't be alone. After all, everything that's happened, I just... I need your help. I need your help to stay strong for my kids. Please, stay. I don't know what to say, ma'am. Kids' birthdays are coming up in a couple of weeks. How am I going to handle that? In the state that I'm in? Joy, listen, just don't do it for me. Just do it for the... Okay, ma'am, I'll stay until Anna's birthday. Thank you, thank you, princess. Don't regret this un-pack your things. And I have a present for you. You should leave on me. There's been a lot of love between us lately. And so I was thinking that you could help me. And I could help you. We could help each other. We could make him pay for everything that he's done to us. What do you say, Joy? Are you in? What do you mean, ma'am?  You know what I mean. You want to set him up, ma'am? You did it once, so he'll do it again. Come on, Joy, let's do this. I don't know what to say, ma'am. Of course, I mean, of course, you need to think about it. Take your time. Of course, take your time. Think about it. You have until next week. The police. It's going to be very difficult for us to find work for you. Listen, did anybody see you? Did you tell anyone about this? I see. Do you have any marks on your body or bruises or anything like that? You don't. I see. So then there's no proof. See, well, darling, you should have called me sooner. You're sounding a bit confused right now, Joy. Mm-hmm. Yes, listen, Joy, I understand. But look, he hasn't done anything since then, has he? There you. It's an isolated incident. There's really no need to worry. But of course, if you can come into the agency on your day off and we'll set you up a meeting with our therapist, and I think that's going to do you a lot of good. Mm-hmm. Of course, honey, we will try to find you when you employ her right away, but listen to me very carefully. In the meantime, it's very important, hang in there. Okay? A few questions about that night, you know, when Andy... Do you know what I mean? When he tried to rape you, man. Have your hair down.  Did you have your hair down? No, ma'am, my hair was up. When he pulled down his pants, did he have a heart on? I don't know, I didn't look. Was he breathing normally? Was his breath more like... or something like that? Was his shirt open because his chest gets really really red sometimes when he gets turned on so if his shirt was open then maybe you saw his chest maybe he nibbled on your ears or maybe he grabbed your poop. Jesus Christ, Troy, what did he do? She asks Joy to wash all of the windows again. What had started out as a favor was now expected of her. I'm working as a nanny and the cleaner. But Joy, hey, until the kids' birthdays. With all due respect, ma'am, I came to this house as a nanny. Now I'm working as a nanny. But Joy, you said you'd stay until the kids' birthdays. With all due respect, ma'am, I came to this house as a nanny. Now I'm working as a nanny and a cleaner. But Joy, you said you'd stay until the kids' birthdays. With all due respect, ma'am, I came to this house as a nanny. Now I'm working as a nanny and the cleaner. You said you'd stay until the kids' birthdays. With all due respect, ma'am, Ma'am, I came to this house as a nanny, and now I'm working as a nanny and a cleaner. Joy, you said you'll stay until the kids' birthday. With all due respect, ma'am, I came to this house as a nanny, and now I'm working as a nanny and a cleaner. Joy, we've made 3500 for you to come here.  I'm fortunate to come here. Yes, and we gave you two sellers in advance when you asked for your mother's operation. We treated you as part of our family, and all it did was lying. The money I owe. How will you get it? So she came up with a plan for me to pay them back the money I owe them. I will also be working on my free days, doing some of the larger house chores, like washing all the windows and cleaning the rocks, scrubbing all the floors. Hygiene standards reach unprecedented levels in the Nazareth residents. Today we see Joy giving a couple of old toothbrushes to scrub the spaces between the tiles on the kitchen floor. It's midnight and Joy is still brushing. I'm changing every day. I did not listen to her. I went straight for the door, but the door was locked. Okay, my first employer is an Iranian. He did something wrong with me, so I decided to go run away with the family. I get my luggage, all my things broke already like that. That Iranian tried to do something, kissing me in the morning, something like that. He tried to do something when his husband, her husband is not there. The last time that we have an encounter, I go so early in the house. He knows that her wife is not there and the oldest daughter is not there, just only me and the son. He tried to do something, advantages. I'm so thankful because the baby is trying to walk right now. At the time, he is in danger and he took out his phone to try to do something on me. I tried to say to her wife like that, what happened? Her wife tried to change the world. When I smoke in the house, it's fantastic. When I talk to strangers, their voice is small. This is how a doctor in law is. This is how a doctor in law talks to you. Now talk back, all your law is small. Wow, an advanced joy.  My father sent me one of her employees to meet me. And when we got to the Nasser's residence, housekeeper, and instead of my luggage, she gave me a black garbage bag. When I looked inside, it was shredded with the scissors. I asked her, what happened? I was speaking English. And my passport? Joy, did the Nasser's ever tell you that you were fired? Or that they terminated your contract? Joy says, no. On the contrary, they always insisted I stay. Why? Because they did terminate your contract. In fact, they ended it two months ago. So you've been in the country for more than two months without a work permit. And that makes you illegal in Romania. Join us and understand how to see if possible. She feels like she's sinking into this endless nightmare. I know Nasser's are powerful people, but I think others should know what we are going through. Miss Laura told me that I should sue them for ending my contract without telling me. The police. And after a long wait, this middle-aged policeman is going to sue me. Miss Laura, what do you want to say? Tell us, we don't want to make any complaints. Who is in our passport? Tell us, Nasser. Tell us. What happened to you? It doesn't matter. Miss Laura is illegal. She was arrested on the street. Do you know how she was arrested? And so on. But she's illegal. I don't want to sue her. Don't you know how she was arrested on the street? They locked me in. They cut my suitcase and my clothes. Serenity harassed me. They lied to me. Aren't all these things illegal? Yes, they are. But so am I. Migration for migration. And they are buying me a ticket back home. I have to start up a new business back home. I think she wants to make a cut of an example out of me. Joy. I mean just think of all the other oppressed. She carried all my luggage. And when I was putting them on a luggage counter, she told me. Listen, Joy, we still have 20 minutes. So listen, if you just make a statement, it's called a right of attorney. It authorizes me to represent you in Romanian court. You can go home. You can still sue them.  Joy, you deserve this. Don't you want to make them pay? Not for me to punish them. It's your better not mine. God willing. A routine check with your seatbelts fast integration. City transport, we do not use not much our prints. All of the documents are in order. We provide medical assistance, inviting them to serial shop owners. Others, they wish to become street vendors. Selling what's, uh, Filipinos. Return her adaptation impossible about the Filipinos. And, uh, well educated, keen on this woman waiting in front of our locked gates. And it was a Filipina.  And of course, we helped her find accommodations that very weekend and my responsibility. Rules and procedures. And these rules and procedures, they are confidential. And I am bothered by these journalists who wish to stick their nose into our business. Take this journalist, for example. She publishes a piece. Not helping solve the real problem. Because of this, we are not part of the solution. We are part of the problem. What I ask you, the job we have here, people who can work in Romania. Um, and before we begin, may I ask all of the men in the audience to please stand up, please. All the guys, stand up please. Ladies, I can't see all of you back. If anyone who is not standing, please encourage them to do the entire adult female population. So this is 8.8 million women. Now out of these women, 42% are sharing all of their children with their partners. So 58% have 5 million women who do all of the work in the house alone, by themselves. So what are some of the things they do? Can you help me out here? Anything, washing dishes, cleaning... Washing windows. What? Sorry, windows. Windows, floors, both of them, hate them. Okay, hey, you do those too. They wash all the windows, they scrub the floors. Uh, what about... They do that. They do. Do you enjoy it? I personally couldn't cook that much of you. Obviously. Millions of women, right? They do everything. They take care of the house all by themselves. And this is why I like to call this group the Loving Wives. Because, because, wait. They do it all for free. And which is some? Joy and the other Filipinas are making, what, $400 a month. This is 5 million women. Times $400 a month. The Loving Wives save us $100 a month. In a year, these women are saving us $24 billion. This is what I like to call the economy of love. And since we're talking economy, we're talking economy. Don't think that we should take any special measures to encourage these women to stop working. They choose to do it. They choose to do it for free. And even worse, I do not think that we should encourage them to demand to be paid for the work that they are doing. That being said...


back to another XOs Heroes video. Today's video we're going to go over FC Valar's new Fate Core and I'll showcase you guys FC Genai the red faker that I actually just got today but before that if you want to update in XOs Heroes videos please hit the subscribe button down below. Okay guys so here is the new Black Fate Core of Valar. I'm actually kind of happy he got a new Fate Core. I actually thought initially that they would coinverse for existing what they call this existing Fate Core but I guess this is what they put out and I think this would do good for now. So September 30th which is today after the maintenance up to October 7th we'll be able to pull for this Fate Core. You can obtain the Hero plus Fate Core with a higher chance than in the premium recruit. Okay so as you can see I actually like the fencing type outfit that he has and artwork still very good on par with what the XOs Heroes usually puts out and let's take a look at the additions for the stats for the Fate Core. So attack is going to be 22, defense 45 health, 216 and combat power additional 9000. So let's take a look at the skills guys. So as for his passive he has thrust three. So deals to the attacker upon damage taking 30% damage, afflicts the attacker with stun for 5 to 12 turns based on on earned current health when the attack hits. Gains mana if health of target is at 80% or more and removes one mana from the target and then gains mana to self if health of target is at 30% or less. The usual thrust next is actually his passive is executioner grants additional effects if under the effect command. So take note he has to have the command effect to be able to dish out executioner. This is depending on the state of the target that was struck by the skill. So he has to be struck the target the enemy should be struck by the skill for executioner to take effect. Next passive is going to be impact decreases attack of all other targets with executioner with executioner mark by 20% if the target mark with executioner dies. So if there are multiple targets with executioner and one dies the rest decreases their attack okay. So next is separate goals it's a mark if there are three or more living enemies at the start of the round after the first round increases own attack defense and maximum health by 25% and can be stacked up to two times which is actually good. The last passive that he has is overpower so it's a buff if an enemy with executioner mark has less current health than self decreases the targets attacked by 15% of own current health or seven turns at the start of the round. So he actually is a very good counter to a lot of heroes that needs their attack to be up. So again basically Valar he is going to decrease not really permanently but for the moment if they have executioner then their attack is decreased by a certain percentage okay. So S1 is going to be bloody evil slasher so it's a it's a skill with a required man of three it only hits the back row so deals 210 damage to all back row enemies then deals out deals executioner applies gain two mana to all allies if the target dies after afflicts executioner mark to the target if target survives okay so more or less this is his S1 then for his S2 which is pretty much stacked it's execution day so required man is for deals 750 damage to one enemy applies gain mana to all allies if the target dies so it's actually a gain of two mana same as his S1 which is actually big an afflicts executioner mark to the target if the target survives okay then the first one is the dealing to all back row this one is to any single target it gives a status effect afflicts all enemies with silence for five turns if the target dies which is actually good he will serve basically as a finisher in terms of in terms of who is easy to kill and a debuff decreases attack of enemies with nullify heal effect by 10% for five turns if the target dies as well so again if i remember um his other fate core this one the S2 is actually very very good versus his older fate core the the female the the girl version of valar so i think this this black fate core has some potential in terms of being used in pvp um together with wasted red i would probably you know um summon for valar probably um next week um it would depend on which black fate a gold fate core would be coming next so i'm probably i'm actually saving my zest now and i'll probably try him out hopefully i could probably summon him um again next week and if i do that i'll be showcasing that summon session so black wolf valar fate core grade is black so he's a he has a fate core chance up of 0.7% and his recruitment mileage is only at 19 okay so in terms of his special weapon it's called haspelia which actually looks cool um even though it looks cool i won't actually recommend this weapon so it also gives an attack of 30% but again i'm not sure if um you know again he's a he is a black fate core and unless you are really a fan of valar you can actually get you can actually avail of his you could try to avail of his exclusive weapon but for me i would suggest that you save up your zest for fate cores not for exclusive weapons and his and the ability to obtain this is also same as the fate core at 0.7% and 19 core milages as well so what are my thoughts on valar i think the redesign for the black fate core is actually good very very interesting very very nice um detail in terms of the character design um i think he has a shot in you know in the roster in my roster for wasted red um i still have to play test him but he has potential at first glance in terms of the improvements and this version of his fate core rather than the previous one so um my final thoughts on valar is if you have the extra zest to get for valar and if you're into wasted red like i do um you can actually summon for him especially if you want you will be using him in pvp especially in in the beginner up to the mid stages of a player actually he is kind of viable for pvp if this is a skip um for those who are advanced um and if especially if you're not really into valar i'm sorry into wasted red then you can skip this banner um you know um because again uh i don't think he will make it yet to the top tiers of pvp um but he definitely has some potential okay so that is it for valar let's go guys to my my what do you call this my showcase for fc uh jenai so we have his fate core ready just got her today and my emulator is very slow okay sorry so here is um the young version of jenai so i got her so kind of different um in terms of the eyes um these are more more sultry than this one this is more of a very young jenai i haven't i haven't really um changed um the color of her uh for over over what they call this overdress here because actually i like it as is so let's take a look at how she looks in terms of her stance and in terms of her appearance effect in terms when you summon her the animations are actually nice and there's a certain there's a certain pose that i like about her so let's have a skill preview for her basic attack so it's actually the same a different color for the the energy that she shoots out but for her s1 this is actually kind of different very refreshing like that look and she actually throws a flower so again s1 is actually good as a revision to what she has now so this is actually for me kind of better um from the previous incarnations of her animations for s1 um let's take a look at um sorry for that um let's take a look at her s2 so her s2 the opening is actually still the same but this is a pretty much very younger version of jenai so so same except for the last part so oh nice play with a nice um play with the colors this is actually yellow the flames versus green the last time so again yellow for somebody who's young and flowers okay so again there you see it guys i'm actually happy with with um her design how she looks how she does her moves and her new animation so i like i really like this s1 better than the previous one so anyway guys so hope you also get your um red fc jenai soon probably tomorrow for some some already got theirs also today but again hope that you get um this red fate core before the time expires i think we have a week to go so that is still a long time to grind for this red fate core anyway guys thank you so much for staying this far this video also please consider subscribing because this helps my channel a lot don't forget to click the bell icon and also don't forget to put a like to this video thank you guys stay safe take care this is a warden and i'm out of here


Bringing this recipe to life requires creative catalysts, connectors who bring unconventional perspectives and creative solutions to challenges and situations. The artists we work with are essential and powerful assets to our communities.


Okay, Jeff Frick here at Dogpatch Studios. We're here for the Fusion I.O. Atomic series launch. Here with Shane Robeson, chairman and CEO. Great event, Shane. Thanks for having us. Thanks for being here. Well, it's a long way. The first time I ever saw you, we actually had a breaking news story. We had you cut in on theCUBE. I think at EMC World or VM World when you first took over the reins. Remember that? It's actually one of our most popular segments because people are curious. They want to know what was going on.  So talk about how things have changed since you kind of came in. A lot of excitement here. That seems like a long time ago. Well, we're very focused on growing the company and that means maintaining our technology leadership. So this is an exciting night because this is the third generation of our technology. We're the gold standard in the industry for application acceleration, especially the server side. And this is very, very exciting stuff. So talk a little bit about the partner ecosystem. I was very impressed when the slides came up. You've got an impressive list of software partners that you guys are working on for the enterprise side as well as hardware partners. Everyone knows FusionIO for Facebook and your hyperscale business, but you've really assembled an impressive array of both hardware and software vendors as part of this launch. Can you talk a little bit about that ecosystem? Yeah, these ecosystems are critical to our growth. In the last couple of months, you've seen us announce partnerships with Microsoft around the SQL Server 2014 release. That's been very important. We're in all of their technology centers, their enterprise technology centers around the world partnering with them and really accelerating their database applications. We just got qualified on SAP HANA, where I think the only flash vendor qualified there right now. We're working closely with Oracle. We're working closely with VMware. So the best thing for us to do is work with these ISVs to help them take advantage of our technology and then deploy it on our OEM partners hardware platforms. Talk a little bit about it because you get to go out and meet a lot of customers, right? That's a fun job to see you. They wheel you in and the guys keep you busy, I'm sure. Talk about some of the customer experiences and stories you're hearing about being able to build applications that are really built to be accelerated with Flash versus kind of what they were doing before. What we can do, especially with the big data customers, is we can allow them to actually work on all of the data at one time. When you think about what we just announced, 6.4 terabytes on one card and a server can have 8, 10, 12 of those cards. So you can load big data all into memory at one time and run analytics on it in real time, which has never been done before. Yeah, we were just going to do something earlier today, as a matter of fact, but I got to tell you our cameraman wants one of those cards to take home in his goodie bag. Hey, you can fit them in a goodie bag. They're very expensive. And Gary said it's GA, everything is shipping now, so... Oh, yeah. No, it's been in testing for months with our key partners and some of our key customers. The testing is going extremely well. I was very serious when I said, this is our best generation yet. So talk a little bit about your perspective. Again, we were at Hadoop Summit earlier today. It's a really exciting time in the industry. Joking is like Moore's Law across so many things, and we're at a really great time. Talk about where we are. You've been in the industry at this moment that's both reflected in your product launch, as well as these big trends, big data, and some of the other things that you guys are now going to be able to take it to the next level. Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of old, so I've been doing this a long time, and I've been through a number of different fundamental architectural changes, mainframes, mini computers, PCs. This is an architectural change at that same level. So when you talk about data, and everything is about data today, how you store it and access it is the fundamental question. And this is a fundamentally different architecture that allows you to treat your data as if it's in memory rather than it's in storage somewhere. And it's a whole different architecture for the way we actually access and analyze data. Whole different animal. Different animal. Well, congratulations on a great event. Thanks for inviting us up. Jeff Frick here with Shane Robison, the Fusion I.O. Atomic series launch. Thanks again, and congratulations on a great event. Thanks for being here tonight. All right, thank you. We'll be right back with our next guest after this short break.


It is a great pleasure for me to be with you once again. I must say and to meet at least virtually so many friends and colleagues at the summit. My name is Thomas Selner. I'm a Swiss medical doctor and lawyer and have had the privilege to be involved in patient safety for many years, be it in Switzerland, be it at the World Health Organization and finally and certainly not last but not least at the patient safety movement with you. Very glad to be back here with you today. I will be speaking about the topic that hold us hostage over the last two years. And unfortunately, I must say probably even for another couple of months, at least the pandemic of the corona virus. Let me start first by saying, let's never forget how much suffering, long-term disease and death this virus has brought our many of our families, communities and to the world. It is a painful moment for many, many of you, probably on this meeting. But let's also be thankful for all those who have committed their energy and all their work to fight against this virus. And we all appreciate what that meant for all the healthcare workers, for the families and we're so grateful for that. What I will do in the next minute is actually focus on something we're probably not even thinking too much about it, namely the question of how much innovation has actually this pandemic also created for our system locally but also globally. And I will address three issues briefly, namely what innovations do I see that happened close to the patients and close to their families? Secondly, innovations that happened in the political sphere to better fight the current pandemic and finally innovations to give the general population the public a possibility to engage in creating a safer world. But before going into this, let me just mention what challenges as a community, but also as government and I worked a lot in this context with the Swiss governments, what challenges were we faced with? I think there were particularly five we need to look into, A, we were constantly in a race against the time, in a race against the virus. So speed of our action was always a very important part of what we had to do. The second thing is how do we develop safe answers when we want to be fast, when we need to be fast? And so the question of speed versus safety has always been at our mind. Thirdly, the question of solidarity, global solidarity overcoming global split is actually a very important issue. We saw the world actually split in two ways, West versus East, the Western world versus China to some extent, but more importantly, and for today, the split between the North and the South and those who have the means and those who didn't have them. Of course, we needed to collaborate in this pandemic and we need to continue to do so. This is true, of course, for the medical field, but it is also between governments and the industry. It's between the industry and regulators, et cetera. So there is a lot of cooperation which is needed. And last point, a huge challenge is really the communication information in something we call the infodemic that happened in this pandemic. So let me first start with the question of innovation close to patients and their families and I will address three points there. Of course, and we need to start with that, is really the question, how much innovation went into producing a vaccine in record times? It is probably really something we haven't seen before and that we need to appreciate even in the future. Let's rethink that the virus showed up in December 2019 and already on January 5th of 2020, the Chinese and the Chinese scientists actually published the genome of the virus. And on January 10, already it was on the internet and everybody could use this genome to work on vaccines. In the US, Moderna with the support of Fauci and the government started working end of January on the vaccine and it took only a couple of months until the first vaccine was on the market and it's an amazing date, December 8th. The first person was vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine and 90 year old woman in the UK. December 14th, the first American was vaccinated also. All these innovations and already the product per se and the technology used are huge innovations but we should not forget and many people are not so much aware of that. Two parallel innovations actually went along which are process innovations. For the first time, the companies with the support of the regulators actually didn't go through the regular process of clinical phase one, phase two, phase three in developing the vaccines but actually had the processes in parallel. So they were making actually phase two and phase three in parallel to save time and the regulator accepted that as a procedure to speed up. The second thing a number of companies did and that's surprising too. They actually produced millions of doses of vaccine before they had the license to do so and the regular approval. Just with the risk if there was no approval they would have had to dismiss it or to dump all these vaccines but all of that help that we were on the market close to the patients with new vaccines very in a very short time. An amazing story of success and innovation. A second point I want to address and again not too many people are actually aware of that. WHO estimates that more than 1.3 million, 1.3 million people die every year because of unsafe injection practices. Of course, most of these people live in high low income countries in Africa and this makes that we need to invest in better injection possibilities. And again here we are doing new steps forward which seem to be progressing rapidly. We have actually now one way syringes coming and even self-injecting syringes soon on the market also for the pandemic. The last one I want to address is quickly is really the question of the IT digital technologies and the pandemic. Telemedicine has seen a really push through the pandemic and I think that is something we really need to welcome. And I'm so glad that not only helps when it comes interacting patients with their doctors, etc. But as a side effect and that has a mental health effect it helps children to connect with other children and keep them connected. And that all is actually very important. Next item I want to address is the question of what innovations did we see in the political sphere? I just mentioned three of them. One is and the first one is the Act A initiative generated by the G20 member states or members and they actually promised in early 2020 that they would collect the money, the resources needed to reach something like 70% of vaccination coverage in low and middle income countries by September 22 to testing rates of 100 by 100,000 inhabitants per day, 120 million treatments in low income countries and protecting 2.7 million healthcare workers. These plans are fabulous. Unfortunately, and I only have the data till February of this year from the more than 16 billion dollars needed to fund this only 1.1 billion so far has been sent and given and we need to rush and bring more money in. And I know that the countries are working on it but we are far from then. So it's about let's not only talk but let's also work the instrument, the innovation that platform is here but the results are not yet. The same is very much true for the COVAX initiative which is a platform organized by different UN organizations and the idea behind COVAX is actually that doses for at least 20% of the population in a country are given through COVAX. So far COVAX has actually shipped over 1 billion doses to 144 countries. That's good but is far from what we need. And I again see here a couple of difficulties namely that high income countries are not as generous as they should be offering the doses they could give to low income countries. Secondly, and that's the part we are working right now low and middle income countries must better prepare the vaccination campaigns. Many of them are just simply not ready to accept the dosages and to start with broad campaigns and we need to innovate and help them innovate also in that fine. And finally, and that's unfortunately quite often the case in UN organizations, COVAX seems to be a very slow moving target on the organization. Last point on this innovation in the political sphere is the Berlin hop that WHO created in order to have more data, better data, more and better analytics and better decisions when it comes to preparing for pandemics. Unfortunately, and that's surprising in the world we're living, the databases for the governments to prepare for pandemics but also to fight pandemics is low. And the data are not actually secured and we need to work on that and we don't see yet the results of this hop but let's all work on this it's a very important issue to be really science-based when it comes to response. This brings me to the last of my points and that's really the innovations we made or could make in the past months to enable the public to engage in creating a safer world. One is that we created and I was part of that funding campaigns to mobilize campaigns to mobilize money for vaccination. One is to go give one campaign which actually ask individuals to give $7 for the vaccination of vaccines and the goal was to get 50 million people to give $7. We are not yet there but we did make major progress in collaborating actually with a fabulous organization, Global Citizens which organized a couple of concerts one of which may eight where they actually helped raising more than $300 million for COVID vaccines which gives something like 20 million additional COVID vaccines. Many prominent people like Prince Harris and Megan other artists have actually helped and I think we are here seeing a new movement of supporting which is fabulous. What we also saw and we need to fight more is misinformation, fake news and there is a very new initiative by the World Health Organization and the National Academy of Medicine in the US to encourage digital platform actually to apply principles for identifying credible sources of health. I would invite you all to look at this paper and to see how you can actually spread in your organizations the way how to implement a more credible sources and get rid of the fake news is. And last but not least, let me with some pride address the question of the WHO foundation. We actually created this foundation in May, 2020 because WHO lacks sufficient resources to fill its mandate. And what we want to do and are about to do is really to invite philanthropists, foundation, business and also individuals to support the mission of WHO, promote health, keep the world safe and serve the most vulnerable. Right now, apart from the pandemic, we're also, of course, trying to support the people in the Ukraine, the health system in Ukraine to come at grace with a very, very difficult situation they're in. Let me finish with coming back and with a very personal evaluation of the how good we are with the challenges we set we want to address. I think we can be happy and proud when it comes to the speed of our reaction we have done well in that. Safety so far as we can see it, patient safety has been up except that some of the operations and other things had to be delayed, et cetera. On a global level, we must say we are pretty good here. Finally, the question of cooperation, so-so information I would say there is much more to do. And unfortunately, once again, when it comes to solidarity, I would say we have not done the job and we need to do more and that's what I think we all need to work on in the next couple of months. Having said that, thank you so much for your attention. I hope that these couple of ideas brought you nevertheless a little bit. How much also positive impact this pandemic had so far and that eventually we will come out of this pandemic also in that respect with some positive new steps into a safer future. Thank you so much.


Hello, everybody. I'm Lance Coyke, and today we are continuing our things that everybody messes up when they do bent over rows. I'm serious. If you don't know what a three-point supported row is, that you probably haven't watched my video. You probably haven't worked up and learned some beginner variations. Maybe you never learned how to actually do rows, so it's really common. I would say 80% of the people that I don't train that I see in the gym do it this way. Today, we're not talking about arching your back too much, though we talked about that yesterday, and how it destabilizes your core, and how it turns off some of your back muscles and turns on some of your other back muscles.  Don't read into that too much. That's not really correct. You've got to find the hamstring. Today, we're talking about the shoulder. We're not talking about the back. We're not talking about the hips. We're not talking about the hamstrings. We're not talking about the RDL. We're talking about the shoulder. The most common thing, even people who know what they're doing sometimes have trouble with this because the rib cage mechanics are really important here. You're not getting your shoulders back. If I don't get the scapula to come around on the rib cage, then this shoulder joint doesn't poke back there. It doesn't point backwards slightly. Then the rotation that I need to get my full range of motion, to get that full squeeze, doesn't occur. I'm not driving it from here. I'm driving it from here. I drive it from my shoulder joint rather than from my arm as a unit. It looks like this. If I'm bent over and I don't get my shoulder blades to come back like this, they stay forward. Then my shoulders tilt forward. The front of my shoulder pokes out forward. What that does is it puts extra stress on the biceps tendon here, puts extra stress on the glenoid, labrum. If you've had slap lesions, you should definitely avoid this. If you have any other type of shoulder issue, you got to look at this. You got to make sure you're not doing this because you're just cranking that joint. You're putting too much movement and compression at the same time on that joint. What you want is to direct the entire thing backward and then ask the shoulder joint to move because now it's in a different position and now it's not going to grind that stuff out quite as much. I don't mean to say these really visceral terms like grind, but honestly there's no reason you should be rowing this way. You should definitely be getting your shoulder blades back, initiating with the muscles in your upper back, not in the back of your shoulder. Then from there, you just throw on training. Make sure that you're initiating from the shoulder blade and not from the shoulder joint.
