I'm just here to show that when you don't have those restrictions, the possibilities of what you can do with an e-text are pretty impressive. Well, there was sad news last week because we found out that Michael Hart, the founder of Project Gutenberg, passed away. He founded Project Gutenberg 40 years ago by typing in the Declaration of Independence into a computer. And that's in 1971. He was a pioneer in open access to knowledge. And he far preceded the free software movement or copy left movement, Creative Commons, anything like that. Michael Hart was an absolute pioneer. And one of the aspects of Project Gutenberg that I want to talk about today is the fact that the texts that they made available weren't under some copy left license, they weren't Creative Commons, they were simply public domain texts. They were public domain texts that were then available in formats that were unencumbered of technological restrictions. And there are a lot of benefits to that in terms of the Project Gutenberg archive being able to, you could just copy the entire archive and mirror it and host it around the world so that it was really accessible to anyone. But one of the great features from a user's perspective is that you could take those texts and you could make transformative uses of them, and not just transformative in the strictly copyright sense, but just like novel, innovative uses. And you can do this without worrying that you're running a foul of the law because these are simply public domain texts. So it's not even a question of whether you're comporting with some license. You just know that whatever it is you want to do with these texts, you can go ahead and do it. So there's that. And also they're available in plain text, HTML, EPUB, all these open formats that allow people to do interesting and great things. So today I'm going to show a lot of the great things that you can do. I'm going to show that you can use a variety of different gizmos to read Project Gutenberg texts, that you can do text to speech, you can have audio book versions, and you can use a lot of different kinds of software to make use of the texts. So that's what we're going to talk about today. Well here we have just like a handful of gizmos, and we're just going to show that with each of these gizmos, you can make use of Project Gutenberg texts because they're available in open formats and because there's no copyright restrictions on them. This is only a small, any gizmo on earth, it can basically read a Project Gutenberg text. Any mainframe computer from the 70s can read a Project Gutenberg text. Any computer, you can access them on Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, any operating system using software of your choice. You can write your own software. We can't show all of that. So we're just going to show a handful of pretty common devices, and we're going to show that they all can read Gutenberg texts. Now this is important to contrast with commercial ebook stores such as Amazon's Kindle Store, or Barnes & Noble's Nook Store, or Apple's iBook Store. Because all of those, they might, Amazon's actually pretty good about this. They make Kindle software for a variety of different platforms. But when you're in the Kindle ecosystem, when you're in the Barnes & Noble ecosystem, or in the Apple ecosystem, you can only do what they let you do with the text. You can only read it on the devices that they specify you can use, and you can only make the uses that they say you can use of the text. So for example, with the Kindle, you might not be able to make your own audiobook version of a Kindle book. But with Project Gutenberg texts, this is no problem. Okay, here I'm just going to walk you through various devices. And I'm going to show you me accessing the same exact ebook on different devices using different pieces of software. So now here's the Apple iPad. And I have the Pickwick papers loaded up in iBooks. There you go. You can read it with Apple's fancy animation if you want, or you can go back. And I have the same book loaded up in another application called QuickReader. Now with QuickReader, it just highlights. So people use this if they want to speedread or if they want to train themselves to read faster, if there's a lot of different options. But this is something that you can do with an open book that you can't do with a Kindle book that you can't do with a Nook book because of DRM and because of file format incompatibilities. Now here's the very same ebook sourced from Project Gutenberg, loaded up on an Amazon Kindle, an iPhone, and an Android phone. It'd be really belaboring the point to show that we could do the same thing for any device that can store text and display. We could do the same thing. Well here I am at the Project Gutenberg website and I'm just going to search for a particular public domain work, which I already know is here called the Pickwick Papers. But there's thousands and thousands of books here, all in the public domain. And this applies to all of them. So here I have the Pickwick Papers. It gives me the option to download the book in a number of different formats. If I click on the HTML version, I'm going to open it up in a new tab and go over here. Now obviously, you might not want to read an entire Victorian novel as HTML just in a web browser. Nevertheless, having it in HTML format lets you do a lot. For example, I have this installed called Spreed. It helps me speed read text. So if I just select text like this and I click on the Spreed button that I've installed previously, it takes that text and it sends it over to a speed reading application online at spreeder.com. And you'll see that it's doing this in a form called rapid serial visual presentation and that just shows you one word at a time, always in the same place. So you don't have to move your eyes around. And you can adjust this to really high speed. And people using speed reading programs like this that show one or maybe blocks of two or three words that once have been measured to read with comprehension at an extremely high word per minute. So another thing you can do on a computer is you can just download the EPUB, open it up in an EPUB reader. And this gives you a little bit more control than just a text file or the HTML file does. Use a specialized application to read it. And you can just click on the chapter and it just shows you the book this way. And here we're using Adobe Digital Editions to page through the Pickwick papers. And also I'm going to demonstrate. There's another project called LibriVox.org. Let me pull that up real quick. Now LibriVox volunteers take Project Gutenberg and other E-tex but primarily Project Gutenberg. And volunteers do free audiobook versions of them. So if you go to LibriVox, you can just like the Gutenberg website, you can search for anything and you'll be amazed at what they have. And I've already queued up here a version of the Pickwick papers again, done by LibriVox based on the Project Gutenberg text. Let's play that real quick. The one on a frosty day or as a solitary specimen of the other in the inmost recesses of an earthen jar? So, yeah, it's volunteers that read it. Sometimes there's different narrators of varying quality because this is sort of like Wikipedia, but nevertheless you'll find people that have all kinds of voices and accents reading them. Sometimes they're just professionals, professional voice readers doing this and they're spare time and other times it's people who are trying to apparently learn how to speak English, really varying quality. But nevertheless, because these works are in the public domain, because they're in accessible formats, it opens up the possibility to even have projects like this. This is nothing like this could happen with a book from anywhere else. And I'm going to show one more thing. I'm going to show a text-to-speech. Now this is an automatic, automated e-book. And this, again, you could not do with your Kindle. In fact, a lot of publishers believe that text-to-speech requires a separate license, which is news to the visually impaired community. But nevertheless, once you have an open format, I'll show you right here. I just select the text I want to text-to-speech. And of course you can do this. You can have it just go and create an MP3 or something of the entire book all at once. You don't have to sit here highlighting paragraph by paragraph. But nevertheless, here we go.  So, you know, there you go. You can just take the text and you can have audiobooks automatically created. You can imagine how great this is if you're a person with a disability or if you're someone who, for whatever reason, prefers to listen to things read out. If you want to listen to them being read out by amateurs, you can do that. If you want to listen to them being read out by an automated voice, you can do that. And in fact, they're probably based on the same text. If you go onto audible.com, you can probably download a commercial version read by professionals of the same book. But nevertheless, because Project Gutenberg texts are always in the public domain and they're always open, you can have all these different uses of them. And another thing you can do when you have access to just a plain text version or an HTML version of an ebook is you can just do your own translation. So I'm just going to copy this paragraph from here, put it here, do an automatic translation. Of course, you could just make your own translation if you happen to be fluent in Chinese or you can do your own dramatic adaptation. You can make any number of derivative or transformative works of the Pickwick papers because it's in the public domain. Now, there's a lot of cool stuff you can do with an ebook. But a lot of that cool stuff you can't do when you get ebooks from places like the Kindle Store. And the reason has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with the fact that artificial locks are put on the books or copyright and licensing restrictions that just get in the way of people making innovative uses. Now, sometimes there might be business reasons for some of these. I'm not here to get into that. I'm just here to show that when you don't have those restrictions, the possibilities of what you can do with an e-text are pretty impressive.


And then we have this disaster which is a very famous disaster called as the Hindenburg disaster. So with the Hindenburg disaster the intercontinental airship travel became completely unacceptable. So we should spend some time understanding what happened in Hindenburg. So Hindenburg was a very ambitious airship. It was the world's largest airship ever built and launched in 1936. And you can see that it has a massive engine from Mercedes-Benz giving large amount of thrust. 16 bags of helium were installed in it. It could travel more than 10,000 miles nonstop, a distance or an endurance which is very difficult to achieve even in today's aircraft. I do not mean there are no aircraft which can do this. There are aircraft which can travel 16,000 kilometers. All the long-range aircraft like 777-300 or 767, they can travel this distance today. But this is 1936 and they would remain in air for 5 or 6 days. So it will be a one-week flight and you would be cruising across Atlantic in around 50 to 60 hours. They did 10 and a half round trips between Germany and USA with no issue, with no incident. So people think airships are unsafe. They forget the record of having travelled so many thousand miles without any incident. But yes, this accident took place when this aircraft was about to land at Lekhorst New Jersey in US. There are many interesting theories about Hindenburg and why it caught fire, what is the cause of the crash. So because it is a very well talked on subject, so the latest information that we have after a series of investigations is that the Hindenburg was coated with some kind of a doping material which was full of aluminum oxide, AL2O3 and AL2O3 you know is what bombs are made of. It is a highly explosive material. So to dope the fabric at that time, they used AL2O3, it gives a nice aluminized finish to the surface and there was some kind of lightning strike or a static electricity generated onto the airship because of which there was a spark, there might be some kind of a leak because of which it caught fire. Then you know it was almost coming into land and all the reports say that you know 35 people died in this crash which consisted of 22 crew and 13 passengers but what does not get recorded is that 62 people actually survived this incident. So in an accident if 32 people die that makes more news than 62 people survived. Let us look at this airship, how it was, how it was flying. Talking about rigid airships is a terrible accident of the Hindenburg. After a successful career as a passenger and cargo ship the Hindenburg caught fire at Lakers. Miraculously 62 out of 97 came out of that inferno alive. It sounded the death knell of dirigibles in the United States. It is without me in this war which derives from the landfasm of the North Sea. The history of rigid airships is a story full of excitement and adventure. The Hindenburg made 10 transatlantic round trips between Frankfurt and Lakers plus several round trips to South America. The Hindenburg flew over 200,000 miles, carried 3,000 passengers and 41,000 pounds of mail and freight. Besides passengers and mail the ship carried a great variety of cargo ranging from canaries to automobiles, airplanes and heavy machinery. We never missed a schedule flight and never turned back. Accommodations included freshly prepared meals, state rooms, shower, promenades, writing rooms, lounge with grand piano, smoking room and bar. The Germans have demonstrated that the commercial rigid airship was an extremely comfortable method of travel. Far faster than the steamship, regular in schedules and reasonable in price. But even more important, the rigid airship was safe. Even with hydrogen, the safety record of commercial rigid airships surpasses that of any other form of transportation. Noiseless and vibrationless, the big airship provided the acknowledged maximum comfort in oceanic travel. Now let us see what happened on that day. So this is a time when the video recording equipment, news reporting using video is also picking up and during that time there was this accident which was recorded live and relayed on many channels all over the world. So this is one of the first disaster videos which became public. It is there in every encyclopedia, it is there in every disaster compilation and because of this many people feel oh airships equal to disaster, airships equal to fire, airships catch fire. So we have to look at the things very critically. Yes, they do have their limitations and yes this airship did catch fire, there you go. This is the indication of the first, now what is being done here is water is being blasted to reduce the weight of the airship. What you saw was water being thrown down. So to reduce the weight of the airship for it to be trimmed and brought down for landing, water blast was used, we will study about this in great detail in this course. Yeah, that fellow actually jumped down. This is not a disaster, this is a video of a normal operation of Hindenburg. No, no, no, that person had a problem, I am not talking about that person only. I am just saying that this is not the disaster video of Hindenburg. This is showing Hindenburg in other flights. You can observe that we are having the requirement for so many people. There are passengers who are sitting inside the airship. When you get off, you have to be careful because the airship can move slightly with the wind. This is the captain of the airship and now the problem start. As it is approaching the mooring mast, notice the sky is cloudy. It is there is lot of static in the sky. Now in your school you must have learnt about properties of hydrogen and one of the properties of hydrogen is it burns with a colorless flame. But these are not colorless flames, these are orange colored flames. So the color that you see is basically that of the fabric which is burning. Yes, there is hydrogen also burning but the start of the fire was an orangeish flame which was from the fabric. So the conclusion that has been drawn in the recent study is that the cause of fire was not use of hydrogen. The presence of hydrogen has accentuated the fire. The cause of the accident was ignition of the surface of the envelope which was coated with AL2O3 and then of course once you have hydrogen and flame and oxygen there has to be combustion that you cannot take it away. So it was literally the end of use of airships for passenger transportation and as time is progressing aircraft are becoming more and more capable, more and more robust, larger in range and all the shortcomings of aircraft unreliable, short range, less capacity, they are slowly and slowly being addressed. So after this complete hibernation, people said we should not use airships because they catch fire. If we had helium in this airship it would not have caught fire. So with the accident of Zeppelin, with the accident of R101, the Germans decided, furor decided we will not use airships in Germany anymore and he cancelled the Zeppelin project because it was bringing a bad name to Germany. This is the time when the Second World War is now picking up.


In this video today I'm going to share my first impressions on the Seeker Exceed RDC which stands for Race Day Combat and makes this exceed model in a medium which is what I have roughly 180 grams lighter than its counterparts with a more advanced carbon layup. Now before we get into the meat of this video there is three worthy items we need to clear up. Item number one is the old boys have been getting pretty fired up in the comment section because Seeker is also apparently the name of a late 1970s early 1980s porn star named Seeker and it was her 1981 hit which was the same year I was born. Seeker is ready anytime any place that really took her career to new heights. So clearly I was too young to experience Seeker first hand and I apologize this was clearly a big oversize not mentioning this up front. Number two is in addition to the vintage porn star comments I've been getting I've also been getting a lot of people saying that's not a Seeker. Well it is but it also looks like a Factor Ostro or Factor Ostrovam.  For me the real interesting comparison is the Factor Ostrovam which I have just out there I personally own and while they're different bikes ones are climbing bike and the other is more of an all round aero race bike the carbon layup and the finish is borderline identical. The Factor Ostrov while I haven't seen it in the flesh examining it online and comparing it to the exceed there's obviously some differences small differences but they look pretty close so I will conclude with saying they're not the same bike but if I had to make a bet if I was a betting man I would say they're probably coming out of the same factory. Now the third thing I wanted to clear up with you if you did not watch my first video on this bike that is I have been given this Seeker Exceed Frameset and these Vortex No Compromise wheels and Cycling 100 where you can purchase these products are sponsoring slash paying me for a select few videos where I'll be linking to their website below but please know I haven't worked my butt off on this channel for three and a half years to lose all my credibility on one product review and also this product here is still costing me more that I'm getting back thanks to the SRAM force access one by group set and other bits and pieces and clearly if you haven't already figured this one out I have full freedoms to say and do as I please for this first impressions and long-term review so now we have those things out of the way let's split this first impressions into three parts part number one the numbers including weight and price number two is the geometry and design and number three is my riding experiences so far now before we go into details on the price I quickly wanted to compare this to the windspace because I know a lot of people out there who have watched my content previously will compare this to the windspace because they're both direct out of china and I've presented both these bikes on the channel this year now it should be noted that when you buy this frame set here it also comes with the handlebars so if we compare this bike to the windspace t1500 with the windspace integrated handlebars the price difference is roughly six hundred dollars USD however what I'm going to present to you with this build will be a lot more the seeker exceed rdc frame set with bars came in at three thousand 230 AUD the vortex no compromise 60 millimeter disc brake wheels also three thousand two hundred and thirty dollars AUD the SRAM force one by with a rival power meter four thousand three hundred AUD the bits and pieces so saddle tires bar tape etc 750 AUD the total is 11 and a half thousand AUD or 8250 USD or 6200 pounds as it stands today in terms of the weight I weighed the medium frame at 885 grams the uncut fork at 385 grams the bars at 350 grams the front wheel at 675 grams and the rear wheel at 785 grams and the complete bike which was weighed with my asioma duo power pedals came in at just under seven and a half kilograms so yes this bike has two power meters at the moment my speed plate pedals have been destroyed so that's why i'm using the asiomas on this bike too part number two is the geometry and design of the seeker exceed so as discussed we have a medium here i'm 179 centimeters in height and if we use geometry geeks to compare this bike versus some all-round and aero bikes that I have either written in the past or owned and also the factor ostro there's not too much to call out for a medium though it definitely has a smaller effective top tube at 535.7 millimeters but you can see the reach isn't too far off the other mediums the stack is also something else to point out which allows the rider to get lower or more aero in the front end and you can see the seeker exceed is more on the modest side a line more with the all-round race bmc versus the factor ostro and the canondale system six so you could conclude with saying that the seeker exceed medium is a little bit on the smaller side when you compare it to other mediums and it's a little bit more relaxed in terms of its geometry versus say your more aggressive aero race bike in terms of tire clearance you should be able to get 30 millimeter tires into the exceed although personally i'm running 25s looking at the frame visually it's clean there's no polarizing features and i don't often talk about aesthetics because that comes down to personal taste but for me it's probably the best looking bike i think i've ever owned now i did take this into a carbon fiber specialist gary mcdonald at carbon steed if you want to watch that video i'll link it up there but here's a couple of things that he said about this bike then we did some ultrasound across it and one thing i'd say about it it's consistent and if you remember the last frame we did was completely inconsistent i think this is consistent it's even it's i'd say well made i would also say there's not a lot of margin for error and you say well why do i say that well i've got 10 bikes that have come in in the last three days with broken carbon so i like to see a margin of error so that if you do have you know hit a bump or the bike falls over that it doesn't snap you know and i don't see this in this i see that it's very thin it's very light but if that's what you're looking for it seems well made so number three is my riding experiences so far can i preface this section by saying i haven't written this bike as much as i would like to deliver this first impressions but if i didn't deliver this first impressions before i have a little break over the christmas new year period i probably would have been murdered and for the on-bike footage you're about to see i've got this cool new device for those of you who are interested in cameras this is an insta 360 go to where you can put this little necklace thing on you can put it under your jersey or in this case it's a t-shirt and it just sticks there and you can ride around and it's going to get some pretty cool footage i'll link to their website below if you want to check them out and thanks to insta 360 for sending me one of these through so to date for me this bike is the real deal literally throwing a leg over this thing and rolling down my street i feel the bike is immediately saying to me let's go find a fast group or bunch ride let's go race the criteria as it should be saying that to me for 11 and a half thousand dollars a u d now i'm yet to race a crit on this bike but i have ridden it in a couple of fast bunch rides and i've cruised on it at roughly 30 kilometers per hour for two to three hours each at a time and some notable things that i wanted to share with you regarding this bike first up the seeker exceed i find is a soft comfortable ride for an aero race bike there's a little bit of flex through the top tube area but nothing that's going to impact most cyclists unless you're a hundred kilogram watt monster the aerodynamic profiles of the frame are clearly not just for show i recently peered a major descent on the local saturday bunch ride on this bike and hitting 83 kilometers per hour the seeker feels solid and gives me confidence i can push it further in a draft the vortex no compromise ceramic bearing rims really come to life i feel like i'm free pedaling more than i typically would be in a draft compared to many other road bikes i've ridden in a similar bunch ride draft situation and these wheels are up there with probably the stiffest wheel that i have ever ridden and to put a little bit of meat on the bone as to why that might be the case these vortex no compromise wheels are made from t 800 or tor a 800 carbon fiber which is said to be over 10 stronger than its t 700 counterpart while being lighter at the same time these wheels also have a unique characteristic being offset spoke holes to match the spoke pattern and spoke angle and like kaden wheels they use something called invisible carbon eyes i believe this is what kaden called and i've shared this on the channel in the past nipple patching where there's more carbon internally surrounding the nipple area to strengthen the relationship between the spoke and the rim and less in between the nipple areas to optimize weight savings there's also replaceable carbon spokes that really finishes off the construction to make these wheels the most impressive rim to look at that i have ever had firsthand experience with so they look the goods they feel stiff they are definitely fast but for this price bracket you would expect that and are they up there with the best wheels going i don't know yet but now the temperamental spring weather has disappeared here on the sunshine coast i can get out there and start doing some speed tests which i'll be able to share with you in the long term review now if i was to nitpick at this bike i feel like the slight negative is climbing while it's on the right side of 7.5 kilograms and has a softer riding sensation compared to other aggressive race bikes i've ridden which i feel like is a real advantage when you slow the bike down for climbing you seem to feel the road a lot more the aggressiveness and responsiveness that i feel with this bike on the flats doesn't seem to be carrying over into a climbing environment i don't know yet whether that is the bike's design and geometry or maybe it's the stiff 60 millimeter vortex no compromise wheels that do get pushed around a bit with notable wind conditions so for the long term review i will ensure i test this bike with different wheel combinations to get a more holistic lens on this frame sets characteristics and of course i really want to get to the bottom of these no compromise wheels are they really worth that type of investment what i've asked cycling 100 if they're able to do so don't know 100 yet to send me the competition series vortex wheels which are about 1500 dollars less we'll take this bike out test the two different wheels speed test i can give you some anecdotal evidence and we can determine are these wheels really worth the extra investment hope you enjoyed the video if you got value out of it please don't forget to give it a like and i'll catch you in the next one you and i we go to


Today, we are in the distribution point in Kabul Unbounded Office, where we will be delivering life-saving humanitarian assistance to 577 conflict displaced families. Recent conflict caused hundreds of thousands of families to displace internally. IM is committed to staying and delivering humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan.


This week, we loaded up our kayaks and hit the Russell Fork River. We began our float at the Ratliff Hole River Access Area in the Brakes Interstate Park and floated to Carson Island in Elkhorn City. The Russell Fork River is a designated Kentucky blue water trail and this particular float has been called the most scenic float in Kentucky. Beginning at Ratliff Hole, you will immediately be consumed by the landscape. Towering bluffs and large boulders dot the river banks as you begin down the river. Then you will come around a bend and the pool point train bridge will come into view. The river banks turn into sheer cliffs and the bridge towers well over 100 feet above the paddler. After paddling through pool point, the river goes from quiet and tranquil to loud and angry. The first rapid of the trip lies below pool point and offers the paddler a little dose of adrenaline as they make their way down the Russell Fork. Floating on down the river, the roar of the meat grinder rapid can be heard well before it is seen. The river drops approximately 10 feet in a 50 yard stretch through the Class 3 meat grinder rapid and should be portaged if your paddling skills are not top notch. Be warned the portage is not easy as it requires packing your boat over a large boulder field. After the meat grinder, the river begins narrowing and the paddler becomes dwarfed by the large mountains overhead. This section in my opinion is the highlight of the float, well worth the meat grinder portage. The river only remains calm for a short stretch before the paddler reaches the pinball rapid. At over 100 yards long with multiple drops and boulders dotting its course, it is also wise to portage if your not a skilled paddler. After the pinball rapid, the river calms down and you enjoy a beautiful float through a dense forest. This is a great section to view wildlife and paddle beside enormous sandstone boulders that protrude from the river's surface. The quiet pool ends in a small rapid and a series of riffles that will scoot you into the Carson Island section of Elkhorn City. This float offers stunning scenery and a lot of adventure for those up for running. For EKB Evening News at 6, I'm Ronnie Hilton.


What did you think of Aaron judges night? Wow, he got almost three, but build your own park got him there and left, um, I mean, special night, uh, you know, get on the attack early in the counts to and got some pitches and left no doubt with some balls. So, uh, great night for him. No question asked him what had him so dialed in. He said he was he was mad that he was off yesterday. So he wanted to prove himself. What do you think of that? He was rested. Got a little rest. So, um, yeah, you know, he always wants to be in there, but, um, it was good to see him go set the tone for us. Obviously offensively tonight. Uh, he's he's he's special player off to a really special start to the season. He ultimately got the job done. But what have you been seeing from a role this chap in lately?  Um, you know, uh, he's on the attack, though. I feel like he's getting a little bit better attack, you know, two strike. I think just probably rolled a slider in there to nevin.  Chorinos put a good swing on a ball, you know, and then, uh, you know, behind in the count there to McKenna and Lee's went up and on the plate. So just got to tighten up, you know, whether that's through delivery or what, but just, uh, just a little, little better with a strike throwing. You had clay homes up. Were you considering using him to close things out instead of Chapman? I was just if if, uh, if Kinger got in trouble, um, there in that eight thing, or if it got a little bit long, I was going to go to homes once he got through there with, um, you know, the bottom part of the order there. I like Jappy there and, um, and also just trying to be, you know, be a little careful with, with clay and how much we have used them. So even if, uh, Mullins had gotten on to tie the game? Oh no. Then yeah, yeah. Yeah. Mullins would have got on there. You know, at that point, I would have got clay. When you brought Michael in, was the plan for him to go that long or was it a matter of he was just so dialed in? Yeah, no. Yeah. You know. Yeah. I mean, anywhere two, three innings depending on how he's, he's rolling. Um, yeah, he's, he was coming off three days rest. So, you know, kind of feel like that 40, 45 pitches if he's, if he's efficient, you know, go with them there.


The issue with our hobbies, careers, plans and responsibilities isn't that they're evil. The problem is that, all too often, they're instead of. By that I mean that they are often chosen instead of time with the Lord. If the pace of your life is too fast to allow for quality time in prayer, then the pace of your life is too fast. Jesus spoke specifically about carving time out of your day to devote to prayer.  Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. It's Matthew 6 verse 6. The secret to true Christian living is how you spend your time in secret, with what do you fill the secret spaces of your life? You see, only those who truly believe in God practice secret prayer. If they didn't believe in God, for whom would they be performing in secret? As followers of Christ, we must get into the habit of guarding our secret time. Let nothing or no one come between you and your time in prayer. Busyness should not take the place of secret prayer, for you can accomplish more in a prayer filled day than you can in a prayerless week. Family should not take the place of secret prayer, for nothing would be better for your family than for them to have a Christ-like version of you. Worry should not take the place of secret prayer, for worry is simply the flesh's powerless counterfeit for prayer.

President of the United States. Thank you all very much. Members of Congress and distinguished guests, my fellow Americans, we gather here today to right a grave wrong. More than 40 years ago, shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry living in the United States were forcibly removed from their homes and placed in makeshift internment camps. This action was taken without trial, without jury. It was based solely on race. For these 120,000 were Americans of Japanese descent. Yes, the nation was then at war, struggling for its survival. And it's not for us today to pass judgment upon those who may have made mistakes while engaged in that great struggle. Yet we must recognize that the internment of Japanese Americans was just that, a mistake. For throughout the war, Japanese Americans in the tens of thousands remained utterly loyal to the United States. Indeed, scores of Japanese Americans volunteered for our armed forces, many stepping forward in the internment camps themselves. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, made up entirely of Japanese Americans, served with immense distinction to defend this nation, their nation. Yet back at home, the soldiers' families were being denied the very freedom for which so many of the soldiers themselves were laying down their lives. Congressman Norman Mineta, with us today, was 10 years old when his family was interned. In the congressman's words, my own family was sent first to Santa Anita racetrack. We showered in the horse paddocks. Some families lived in converted stables, others in hastily thrown together barracks. We were then moved to Hart Mountain, Wyoming, where our entire family lived in one small room of a rude tar paper barrack. Like so many tens of thousands of others, the members of the Mineta family lived in those conditions, not for a matter of weeks or months, but for three long years. The legislation that I am about to sign provides for a restitution payment to each of the 60,000 survivors, Japanese surviving Japanese Americans of the 120,000 who were relocated or detained. Yet no payment can make up for those lost years. So what is most important in this bill has less to do with property than with honor. For here, we admit a wrong. Here, we reaffirm our commitment as a nation to equal justice under the law. I'd like to note that the bill I'm about to sign also provides funds for members of the Aleut community who were evacuated from the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands after a Japanese attack in 1942. This action was taken for the Aleut's own protection, but property was lost or damaged that has never been replaced. And now in closing, I wonder whether you'd permit me one personal reminiscence, one prompted by an old newspaper report sent to me by Rose Ochi, a former internee. The clipping comes from the Pacific citizen and is dated December 1945. Arriving by plane from Washington, the article begins, General Joseph W. Stillwell pinned the distinguished service cross on Mary Masuda in a simple ceremony on the porch of her small frame shack near Talbert Orange County. She was one of the first Americans of Japanese ancestry to return from relocation centers to California's farmlands. Vinegar Joe Stillwell was there that day to honor Kazuo Masuda, Mary's brother. You see, while Mary and her parents were in an internment camp, Kazuo served as staff sergeant to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. In one action, Kazuo ordered his men back and advanced through heavy fire, hauling a mortar. For 12 hours, he engaged in a single-handed barrage of Nazi positions. Several weeks later, at casino, Kazuo staged another lone advance. This time, it cost him his life. The newspaper clipping notes that her two surviving brothers were with Mary and her parents on the little porch that morning. These two brothers, like the heroic Kazuo, had served in the United States Army. After General Stillwell made the award, the motion picture actress Louise Albritton, a Texas girl, told how a Texas battalion had been saved by the 442nd. Other show business personalities paid tribute. Robert Young, Will Rogers Jr., and one young actor said, blood that has soaked into the sands of a beach is all of one color. America stands unique in the world, the only country not founded on race, but on a way, on an ideal. Not in spite of, but because of our polyglot background, we have had all the strength in the world. That is the American way. The name of that young, I hope I pronounced this right, was Ronald Reagan, and yes, the ideal of liberty and justice for all. That is still the American way. Thank you, and God bless you, and now let me sign H.R. 442, so fittingly named in honor of the 442nd. Mr. President, Mr. President, Mary is here, Mary, Mary, this is... This is Mary. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know what it was, that story. Sister. It's okay. Can I read about you? What does this mean? What does this mean? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Thank you all again, and God bless you all. I think this is a fine day.


It breaks my heart man they they didn't believe in them. They really didn't They they played themselves. You know why they hated on this dude the way that they did They could have just been over here embracing the love form more and more love But G-Roy said hey, you either win with us or you're gonna watch us win They didn't believe but G-Roy did and now he got his interview team. Keep it clean What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video Greg Roman said look y'all y'all I know you some of y'all thought I was gonna fall off Some of y'all thought that I was done. Some of y'all thought it was a wrap, but G-Roy said nope and in fact G wrote he get an interview former Ravens offensive coordinator Obviously his most recent job, but he's literally getting an interview right down the block Or right down the bell way, but y'all know what I mean. He's gonna interview right down the street right down the street G-Roy's still gonna be able to drive past the Ravens facility and whatnot wave to hey guys. Hey, what's going on? Hey, Greg So he's gonna be that close. I mean He gotta do a little driving, but you get what I mean and I'm happy for him. I'm happy for him because Whenever you You leave one opportunity And the next opportunity that presents itself to you It and obviously it's just an interview, but an interview is where it starts That's the beginning and this could lead to something serious So we'll see how it goes But if you have another opportunity that's right in front of you and it's literally like right in front of you because And especially as a football player or not a football player, but a football player football coach, especially if you're in the league You know the these guys they get hired they get fired. They gotta move across the country They gotta move here there everywhere and they got families too They got families So with G-Roy if he could get this opportunity with the Washington football team with the commanders Yeah, the commanders. Oh man, the Washington football team was Two years ago. Anyway, if he can get this opportunity with Washington Now he ain't even gotta move He ain't even gotta move man. So look at it. Hey, I'm rooting for you G-Roy. I really am but anyway, um Greg Roman, uh, the the Washington commanders They are getting busy Because they scheduled an interview with Greg Roman that's supposed to happen tomorrow on Tuesday Now, um, they are also trying to schedule an interview with, uh Eric B enemy But Eric B enemy who so many people always say, oh, he's not a part of KC's offense Even though he's an offensive coordinator, but he's not a part of KC's offense.   Um, what's the other airport up there? It's dullest BWB BWI the best one, but it's BWI dullest and um Is it right? I think it's Reagan. Yeah, I think it is Reagan. But anyway He like ain't trying to go back and forth. Let me have my parade. Let me chill for a little bit Then I come I come talk to y'all in a little bit. So this is why G-Roy got to take this opportunity He got to make the most of this opportunity G-Roy need to go over there and wow them wow Washington Make this the best interview that you ever had And the Washington can look at you and they can be like, whoa, we We got personal experience seeing your ravens offense against us Because they played the commanders Last year, right? I think it was last year I wasn't the year before less I don't even remember but it was over the past couple years. So Washington They got up close and personal view. But anyway, um With that quarterback situation Now see, I wonder like there's there's there's been a lot of talk, especially these these two candidates There's been so much talk with these two candidates for years Greg Roman and Eric B enemy There's been so much talk around them as offensive coordinators um, but Neither one of the two Even though they've had success with some of their offenses, uh, obviously Eric B enemy more consistently G-Roy anyway, um, they've had some success with their offenses, but they ain't gotten head coaches jobs either one or two So These are two interesting candidates going for the same position right now And I would hope that this would just be a stepping stone for both of them For for both Eric B enemy and for Greg Roman So I would like I would be very interested to see Greg Roman as a head coach somewhere And if he could go get into Washington while they're going through this transition period If he can go there help Turn the offense around.  I don't know. Do they still got Antonio Gibson? I don't even remember but whoever they running backs off, you know, they happy right now They they like looking they like yes They bring it g-roll Whoever the tight ends are they looking they like yes bring it g-roll Terry McClaren They not happy about this one Oh, they don't have you about this one, but hey, we'll see man. We we're gonna see. Um Sam Howell Taylor Honeke Whatever that quarterback gonna be they don't know They they they really don't know But again with them getting ready to get sold If g-roll can come in there and especially with their first year under new ownership If he can come in there and build positive consistency with their offense And again He got young quarterbacks. So this is what they thrive again running game gonna be strong Tight ends gonna feast. Well, I received was they gonna be a little hungry. They're gonna be a little hungry, but Yeah So oh and make sure you got a quarterback that can move to Okay, you know g-roll gonna run that quarterback make sure make sure whether it's Heineke Whether it's Sam whoever if they draft somebody if they sign somebody make sure that quarterback can run because Yeah, yeah, they gonna need it Um, but yeah, g-roll said look y'all doubted me, but I'm still here, baby I'm still here and I'm starting to make my rounds and this is the first At least public interview that I'm hearing about with g-roll. I haven't heard anything else The last interview that I remember him having was the one with stanford and I really thought that that was gonna be a done deal I really did they was saying he was emerging as a top candidate and whatnot And I thought oh, oh g-roll about to leave about to go to stanford be a heck of oh, wow, but Nope didn't end up having I think who got a jason gear. I think I forgot but anyway, congrats to g-roll on his interview Um, hopefully this is the first and the last because that will mean that g-roll got it Because I must feel like washington trolling a little bit because washington like I'm sitting here waiting on the notification that the report like oh ravers have scheduled an interview with eric b enemy I've seen nothing yet They ain't seen nothing yet um, so still waiting But uh, washington was like, you know what we're gonna we're gonna try to schedule every interview but on top of that, you know what? Let's let's mess with these ravens a little bit. Let's mess with them. Let's mess with these locals a little bit Bring in greg roman bring them in but no, I do uh I do hope it works out because I just after everything That we saw with the ravens and I know it wasn't just greg roman greg roman was a big scapegoat enough A lot of what ravens had going on but anyway another conversation for another day Uh, but I would love to see him somewhere else just to see How things go just to see how they operate How his offense operates and I mean, I mean, we've seen it with sarah friend We're both alone and we're both but I just like to see it one more time after He uh came and went to baltimore. I'd like to see it afterwards. So Anyway, I love y'all so much. I appreciate y'all very much and y'all just Keep being great people man. I really seriously do love y'all and appreciate everything that y'all do Team keep it clean like greg roman was but not for long We out
