Waiting is used to make datasets more representative of the population that the data is supposed to measure. Many datasets include survey weights. This short video introduces key points about using weights for survey data. Why use weights? Surveys usually collect information from a sample of the population with the aim of inferring information about the population as a whole. To enable inference to the population, survey designers use random sampling methods to try to generate a representative sample and use survey weights to adjust sample data to make it better represent the population. Let's explore some different kinds of weights starting with design weights. One reason for weighting data is that common sampling methods mean members of a population can have different chances of being selected to take part. For example, surveys in the UK often draw a sample from a list of addresses called the postcode address file. To get a sample of individuals, we first sample addresses and then select individuals at random from each address. Using the sample design, individuals who live alone are more likely to be sampled than those who live with others. For example, if there is one person in a household, they have a one-in-one chance of being selected. However, if there are two people in a household, they have a one-in-two chance of being selected. By using these known differences in the probabilities of being selected, we can calculate design weights to adjust the sample to make it better represent the population. Weights can also help to compensate for survey non-response, and these are called non-response weights. Not everyone sampled will take part in a survey. Some people cannot be contacted and others refuse to take part. Response rates can vary systematically across groups in the population, that is, certain subgroups may be more or less likely to respond to the survey or certain questions in it. Non-response weights use information about response rates for subgroups to adjust data and limit potential bias. We can also use weights to adjust the sample to reflect key population proportions. Known as post stratification or calibration weights, they use information from sources such as the UK Census to improve the accuracy and precision of population estimates, and they're often used by statistical agencies. For example, here we can see a theoretical sample which is 56% women and 44% men. After adjusting with post stratification weights, this better represents the population with 51% women and 49% men. Let's take a closer look at how weights work. The weighting variable contains a value for each case which indicates how the case should be weighted during analysis. Underrepresented cases have higher weights to make them count more, and overrepresented cases have lower weights to make them count less. For example, we might find higher weights for individuals that live in larger households, or for those coming from population groups underrepresented in the sample, due to either chance or non-response. This image shows the weighting variables for individuals in the British Social Attitude Survey 2016 data set. The values that we can see are either over 1, such as 1.2732, or between 0 and 1, such as 0.5518. Methods for using weights vary by statistical software, but usually involve indicating the name of the weighting variable before or as part of the analysis. For example, this image shows the weight cases box in SPSS, with the data set weighted by entering the weighting variable. Why is weighting important? Results can vary between weighted and unweighted analysis. This example illustrates the difference between weighted and unweighted results from the quarterly labour force survey 2015. These charts show the proportion of individuals in each area or government office region. In particular, look at the difference between the unweighted and weighted data for the percentage of individuals in London. In this first graph, which is unweighted, the percentage in London is around 11%. After weighting, however, this figure is around 13%. Weighted results are more representative of the population because biases have been minimized by applying the weight. Weights can also be used to make the sample look the same size as the population. Known as grossing weights, they can help us describe the prevalence of social phenomena. For example, with the crime survey for England and Wales, they help us describe rates of crime. This example from the 2016-2017 data shows the number of respondents reporting bike theft in the previous 12 months. The unweighted sample gives a frequency of 393, and after weighting, this increases to over 596,000, which is an estimate of the total number of people who had a bike stolen in the previous 12 months. Now we'll look at some documentation and further reading. You will find information about the weights in the documentation that comes with the data. The user guide should give you details about which weight to use and when, and this can be found under the Documentation tab in the catalogue entry. Sometimes you will find multiple weights and will need to establish which to use for your analysis. For example, the Health Survey for England data sets contain a weight for use with the core interview data and weights for analysis of the follow-up stages. All the information about these weights and when to use them is in the user guide. This video has given an introduction to survey weights. To explore this topic further, you can read our detailed What Is Weighting Guide, and we also have guides to the main statistics software, which include instructions for applying weights.


Hello and welcome to the session. This is Professor Farhad. In this session we're going to be looking at cost reimbursement for healthcare providers. This topic is covered in a governmental and not for profit accounting, as well as the CPA exam. As always, I would like to remind you to connect with me only then. YouTube is where you would need to subscribe. I have over 1500 plus accounting, auditing, tax lectures. If you like my lectures, please like them, share them, put them in the playlist, let the world know about them. If they're benefiting you, they might benefit other people as well. This is my Instagram account. This is my Facebook account. And I do have a website on my website. You are more than welcome to donate if you'd like to support the channel down the road. Cost reimbursement. What is cost reimbursement? Cost reimbursement is basically when someone, a third party, pay the healthcare provider money. What did they pay the money for? For reimbursement. What type of reimbursement? Maybe reimbursement for equipment, computers, fixed assets, so on and so forth. Allowable costs are certain third party, such as Medicare, Medicare insurance company, that would reimburse healthcare provider for certain costs. And those costs are not typically built to patients. So when the healthcare provider buys like an MRI, they're not going to build a customer for that. Okay. So what's going to happen is, those costs, some of these costs, they get reimbursed by either Medicare, Medicaid or the insurance company, like depreciation on equipment, computers, so on and so forth. So what would the company have to do? What would the healthcare provider have to do? Well, they have to prepare costs to get reimbursed. So in order to be reimbursed, you have to tell them, what did you incur in terms of cost? And this report will, this document will summarize the allowable cost for a period of time. And this is a big deal for healthcare providers, for hospitals and physicians with medical operation. Why? Because they will need to be reimbursed. So basically, this is sometime the lifeblood of the healthcare provider. Okay. And this report could be filed quarterly, yearly, monthly. So it used to be filed yearly, then quarterly, then monthly, because healthcare providers, they will need to be paid on a regular basis. This way they can keep on operating. So the question is, when we prepare this cost report, what accounting basis do we use? Interesting. Well, each third party uses its own accounting basis called the cost report basis. So simply put, if you're going to be dealing with Blue Cross, Blue Shield, well, each one of them, they're going to have a different accounting basis. Therefore, your cost report will have to comply with this. Simply put, if you have eight different providers, eight different parties reimbursing, you have to prepare eight different reports, because each one of them would require you to prepare the report based on their cost accounting basis. So what does it mean cost report basis, not cost accounting, cost report basis? It means the basis that they use. And you have to comply with this. Well, think about the cash basis, the accrual basis. Well, we have many basis to modify the accrual. Well, cost report basis is a basis that is designed or administered by that insurance company, Blue Cross, Blue Shield. And you have to follow their basis. Therefore, there are differences between cost incurred on the income statement and cost reimbursed by the third party. Why? Because the way you report your cost report is different than you prepare your financial statement. So we have cost incurred, which is financial statement basis, whatever financial statement usually it's accrual. And cost reimbursed, which is the cost report basis. What does that mean? It means there's a difference between the two. There's a permanent and timing differences. Well, let's talk about those differences that arises because we have to prepare our financial statements different than the cost report basis. Actually, the difference is here. The difference between those two. Those two right there. I'm going to draw the line. We have what's called permanent differences and timing or temporary. Timing means temporary. Temporary means they would reverse down the road. Permanent means they will never reverse. So permanent differences, as I just told you, those differences will not reverse in the future. Okay, so the cost you report on the cost report basis will never equal to the financial statement basis. So simply put, this is a permanent difference. And the good news about permanent difference just like in the third accounting, the third income taxes, we don't have to record them. We don't have to worry about permanent differences. An example of permanent differences is the insurance company reimbursed you 60% for depreciation expense. So 40% is unreimbursed. Okay, and it's a permanent difference. There's a few titles here. Let me just fix them real quick. Unreimbursed and this is a permanent difference. So this is an example of a permanent difference. All right. Timing differences, as I told you, timing difference is the same as temporary difference. Now if you are studying about those differences, temporary and permanent, you could always go to my intermediate accounting and I have a full lesson about timing differences, temporary as well as permanent. But here we're not talking about financial income, accounting for income taxes. We're talking about the cost report. Timing differences, they differ, but in the future, they would reverse. Timing differences are recorded. Why? Because they are going to reverse. An example will be the hospital insurance might be using the straight line depreciation method. The insurance company uses the 200 double declining method, double declining rate. Well, it doesn't matter. In some years, for example, year one, we may take 10,000. In year one, we may take 20,000. So simply put, let me just show you what do I mean by this. So in year one, we have the hospital and we have the insurance company. The hospital might take only 10,000 worth of depreciation. The insurance company may take 15. In year two, the company may take only 10,000. The insurance company may take eight. And in year three, the hospital might take 10,000. And the insurance company might take seven. So notice in total, they're equal to 30,000 over a three-year period. But every year, they differ. Every year, they differ. In some years, the hospital had more depreciation, less depreciation, for example, in year one, and more depreciation in year three. So this is the, this is what we mean by temporary differences. It means overall, they equal over the long period. So how do we compute, how to record the timing difference? Here's the formula. We'll look at revenue recognized for financial statement basis. And we subtract that from revenue reimbursed, basically the revenue that we're going to be reimbursed, coming from the cost report. The difference between those two equal to a balance sheet account, usually it's a liability called deferred revenue. So we'd look at the revenue recognized for financial statements minus the revenue recognized based on the cost report. Again, this is for timing for temporary differences. Okay, the best way to illustrate this is to actually look at an example to see how this all fits together. Okay. So the hospital records depreciation using straight line method. However, in accordance with the term of certain third-party reimbursed, the hospital using $100, double declining, not $100, $150, double declining rate. During the year, the hospital charged $2 million of depreciation for the equipment, but expect to be reimbursed $3 million. So the way they booked their depreciation is the straight line. The way they get reimbursed for the depreciation is the double declining rate. Well, how does the hospital record depreciation for them? It's straight line, debit depreciation expense, credit, accumulated depreciation, basically the straight line. Now, what's going to happen is this, they are going to reimburse them for that particular year $3 million. So they will debit a receivable, a third-party receivable, $3 million. We haven't received it yet. They will credit revenue, reimburse revenue. Why reimburse revenue? Because they booked the expense and now they're getting reimbursed $2 million. And what's going to happen? They have a $1 million, the third revenue, which is a liability. Why? It seems why? Because the cost report for that third-party provider, it's going to use in the double declining. So under the double declining, they're going to reimburse them for this particular year more than what they actually book, $1 million more. That $1 million more is a liability for now called the third reimbursement liability, which will reverse once they book more depreciation in the future, more depreciation than the cost report. Let's take a look at another example. We have this clinic is reimbursed by Blue Cross Health Insurance Company for 60% of certain allowable cost. The following item affect the clinic for the year 2016 to 2018. In 2016, the clinic purchased equipment for $60,000. It depreciated over three years using the straight line method. It means $20,000 per year. Blue Cross reimbursed over three years with the $200 double declining balance. Well, here we go. This is a temporary difference, temporary difference. What you use for depreciation is different than what the third-party insurers use for the cost reimbursement. In 2006, the clinic realized $10,000 loss on early debt extinguishing. So basically they bought back their debt and they incurred $10,000. The clinic recognized the debt loss in the year that that was occurred in 2016. Well, the Blue Cross reimbursed over the life of the debt, which is two years. So you're going to take the loss in that particular year when the Blue Cross, the way they reimburse you for this loss is over two years. Now prepare a comparison schedule, not compassion, comparison, comparison schedule, comparison schedule between reportable expenses and reimbursable expenses. So basically, reportable expenses is financial statement and this is cost report basis. This is the special accounting method. So let's go ahead and start to do so and prepare the journal entries for that matter. So let's first take a look at 2016 reportable expenses. Notice under reportable expenses, this is the financial statement and this is the cost basis, not cost basis, cost report basis, cost report basis, which is the special method. Okay, the depreciation for the financial statement is $20,000. The depreciation for the reimbursable expense is $60,000 times two-third, which equal to $40,000. So notice there's a $20 difference in between. Now we have to look at the other thing. The other things are loss on that extinguishment, loss on that extinguishment. We have the company realize a $10,000 loss it will be taken in that particular year. Well, we're going to take the loss, that $10,000 in that particular year. Blue Cross, it's going to take this $10,000 and take it over two years. So in year 2016, they're only going to be able to take $5,000. Let's look at the total. For financial statements, we have $30,000 of expenses. For reimbursable expenses $45,000, which is more. Why? Because why more? Well, although they're not going to reimburse us the full loss on that this year, but the depreciation was much higher. So that's why we have more reimbursement. Times 60%, that's the reimbursement rate. Therefore, amount to be reimbursed. They're going to reimburse us $27,000 in the reportable expense, which is the revenue, will be $18,000. So we will debit receivable. So this is the amount that they're going to reimburse for us. Because of that, and we incur expenses of $18,000, that expense becomes a revenue because they are reimbursing it. We credit revenue. And the difference between those two is a temporary difference of $9,000, which will reverse. And I will show you at the end, which will reverse. So this $9,000, if you want to create a T account for the third revenue, that's a good idea. And put there $9,000, that's not a bad idea. Put there $9,000, which you will see over 2017 and 2018. This is the third revenue will reverse. Let's take a look at the following year, which is 2017. 2017, the straight line depreciation would still be $20,000. The double declining balance depreciation will be $60-40, which is the book value times two-third, which will be $13,333. Notice this year, what we're doing is we're taking more depreciation for SL than the double declining balance. Loss under debt extinguishment, we already computed all the loss for the financial statement purposes. Now Blue Cross would say, you can take the other $5,000 off the loss and would reimburse you for it, would reimburse you 60% for it. Therefore, amount to be reimbursed for the financial statement $12,000, reimbursable expense is $11,000. So they're going to reimburse us $11,000. We have revenues of $12,000, and the difference between those two is $1,000. Now remember this is the third revenue I told you to create earlier, the third revenue, and we had in there, I want you to add in there, the third revenue we had in there $9,000. We had in there $9,000. Now of the $9,000, $1,000 already reversed, so we still have $8,000 to go. Now let's look at the third year. In the third year, the straight line is still $20,000 of depreciation, $20,000 plus $20,000 plus $20,000 plus $20,000. Now the double declining balance, remember you have to take, if you take this amount times two third, whatever the amount is, you have to plug in the amount that's going to give you zero depreciation, right? Because by year three, you have to fully depreciate the asset. So what's left, this is a plug for year three. Why? Because you need to depreciate in total $60,000. In year one, you depreciated $40,000. In year two, $13,333. What's left is $6,666 while rounding, but you got the point. Okay? So there is no more loss on the debt extinguishment, not by the company, not by the insurance company, not by the hospital, not by the insurance company. Therefore, the total reportable expenses is $20,000. We multiply this by 60% and the reimbursable amount is $6,666. So we expect to be reimbursed $4,000. Our revenue will be $12,000. So this is the revenue. This is the reimbursed amount, $4,000. And the difference is a debit two and a third revenue. So notice in the prior, from the prior example, we had the third revenue of $8,000. Well, let's go from the beginning. We started with $9,000. We debited the $9,000. Now we debited the $9,000 and we debited the third revenue, $8,000. Therefore, the third revenue is $0,000. And this is what I meant to tell you, right? From the get-go, this $9,000 will be reversed. So the $9,000 then reverse over the years. So let's see what happened over a three-year period. Over a three-year period, we bought an equipment that's worth $60,000 and we were reimbursed 60% of that. 60% times $60,000 is $36,000. Also, we had that extinguishment of $10,000, which is over a period of two years. We got reimbursed for 60%. That's also $6,000. So $36,000 plus $6,000 equal to $44,000. So the total reimbursement we got over a period of three years is $44,000. Well, let's see if that's the case. Year three, let me highlight them in yellow. Year three, we were promised $4,000. That's $4,000 plus $11,000. $4,000 plus $11,000 is $15,000. $15,000 plus $27,000. So let's do it. Just make sure we show you the math. $15,000 plus $27,000 plus $27,000 equal to $42,000. What did I do? Maybe it's $42,000, not $44,000. Actually, it is $42,000. I made a mistake here. So it is $42,000. It is $42,000. Therefore, notice the total reimbursement over a three-year period is $42,000. It fluctuates between our financial statement expenses and the reimbursable expenses. But over three years, it is $42,000. If you have any questions, any comments about this session, please email me. If you happen to visit my website, please consider donating. If you're studying for your CPA exam, as always, study hard. It's worth it. Good luck and see you on the other side of success.


We have, in the past, covered the fascinating legends and, indeed, recovered artifacts that have been found over the years within the Ecuadorian cave system, known locally as Cueva de los Taos. The legends of the cave nearly all surround hidden treasures of lost ancient and giant civilizations, including the posit of an ancient yet inexplicable library room made entirely from a curious metallic formula. With caves with an intrigue, strong enough to even attract the attention of the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. When began to wonder whether these legends be true, and when you bring Father Crespi's collection into the fold, the flurry of interest surrounding these legends, and indeed the artificial nature of some of the portions of the cave itself, all become easily explainable via such motives of discovery. Father Crespi, as the title would suggest, was a religious man, and one who was highly philanthropic, and also incredibly interested in the artifacts of antiquity, and fortunately for him and us, the location in which he lived was steeped in lost ancient artifacts, all just waiting to be recovered. Father Crespi was a man of modest wealth, and in return for curious artifacts, often found within the Taos cave, even reported to have given food in return for clear forgeries, offered by hungry individuals, although he would offer more, and often money, respective of the artifacts clearly historical value. This allowed Father Crespi to gather a literal horde of authentic ancient artifacts, many clearly from this long claim to exist metallic library, his collection full of metallic plates of unknown writings, and other fascinating metallic artifacts. The reason for our revisiting of these caves, and indeed the fascinating character that was Father Crespi, is our recent perusing of new information released on the cave, deliberately ignoring all aforementioned facts, including the artificial nature of some of the portions of the cave itself, in particular at entrances, as if reinforced with enormous ancient lintels. Unfortunately, all that remains of Father Crespi's collection that can be confirmed as 100% his and authentic, now only exist within the photos taken of him with his collection prior to his death, whereas the horde of artifacts was ransacked and many replaced with poor quality forgeries. Thus, it is a mystery, and we believe conspiracy to conceal a lost history, which we find incredibly frustrating.


Welcome to Oahu, gentlemen. This is the first video from Oahu. I've been here for two weeks now, but I had bulked videos out, so hopefully you guys didn't notice any hiccups. Team of the year just dropped, but I will give you a quick rundown if you're confused. Every year, when football season ends, I know that as soon as the new Madden comes out, I'm just gonna know life it and stay in my room like a little dungeon dweller. So I like to try and go to Hawaii for a few months and touch grass, believe it or not. And dude, this year is gonna be infinitely worse with NCAA 25 coming out.  So I'm staying here until I don't feel like being here anymore or until July when NCAA 25 drops. Who knows? But obviously I'm still gonna post videos. Also, Love Mike, clearly I don't have my full setup, but if you guys want a quick tour, I'll probably do another day in the life vlog, but I'll give you guys a quick tour. If you want, if you wanna get put on the greatest food on planet Earth, babes, chocolate chip muffins from Whole Foods. They're like 12 grams of fat. Yeah, it's gonna tell you how they're healthy. They're vegan, but they're not healthy. They're just so good. Second thing from Whole Foods. Bro, you wanna have a girl think you can cook? Oh my God, look at this. So this is lemon herb chicken thighs from Whole Foods, pre-marinated, pre-seasoned. They even have like lemons in here. You can't cook it poorly no matter how white you are. And it's so good. If you guys want a quick tour. Absolutely insane views. Like panorama from like every window also gives off gnarly lighting. God, I'm so handsome. Oh no! You know how they say God created all men equal? There's just no way. Full living room. God, this is an extra bedroom. I don't actually use this one. So if any of you wanna come to Oahu, it's a place to stay. Just don't be confused when you feel something poke you at night. What? And then here's my bed. Dude, it's actually goes so crazy because there's that view right there. This is like, this is how I wake up. Yes, I am flexing on you actually. Ooh. Yeah, so it's pretty shitty, but like I make it work I guess. I don't know. I just feel like I make the best of everything. Like even though obviously this isn't what I would like.  Let's, I'll get to the video. I know. Content monkey, I get it. Okay, so the big news and the reason that I wanted to make a video. Team of the year, one of the coolest madam problems that they drop every single year. If you're unfamiliar with team of the year, it is fan voting exclusively. Okay, so don't get up in arms about who's on the team of the year. But every season they drop 96 and 97 overalls. It's actually unique this year. They're dropping 98 overall limited as well. Also rate the controller.  And I love the gaze. So I had to go for it. All right, let's talk about team of the year. So obviously there's gold 99 Patrick Mahomes in the game but the next best cars in the entire game right now and probably the rarest are 98 team of the year limited Pukinakua. I've used every Pukinakua card that's come out. There's been so many good ones and they're all bonkers. So that's a really good option. And guess who else got a team of the year limited who is also a potential prestige? Like I almost prestige both of these guys. Kyle Hamilton, I'm gonna be honest. I have no idea how Kyle Hamilton got this. I guess Baltimore fans just really voted for him.  Like that's crazy. There's only three 98 to 99 overall players in the game. It's Mahomes, Pukinakua and Hamilton and Pukinakua and Hamilton are both in packs right now. Also, I misspoke. There's a 99 overall Jason Kelsey but he is so rare that he's literally not on the auction house. The Jason Kelsey was selling for 6 million coins. That should not be possible. All right, now before we open these team of the year packs, I do want to do something. I want to open the 96 overall on auction while Jason Kelsey. This is one of the sickest pack animations. Also, this is the pack and play account. This is a pack. So I can add this to my team.   Give it my guys. This is as ratchet as a setup gets actually looking but this is my recording setup. Okay, so if we have some technical difficulties it's just a laptop and Xbox. See that's the thing though. Like can we be clear about something? The next time your favorite YouTuber tells you that hey guys so sorry you haven't heard for me in a while.   You woke up at 1 p.m. You ripped your jewel until three. You doomscroll TikTok till five.  That's all you consume for the whole day.  That you were under the weather. Sorry guys, I have a God complex. It's not my fault.  It's not that gold 99 but dude that gold 99 is so rare that it literally isn't on the auction house right now. That's crazy. All right, well team of the year.  So I guess we're gonna run it. Okay, what I will say, I like that you're guaranteed a 95 overall or better. So you're guaranteed the 95 then you have a 49% chance at the 97 plus. I'm not trying to be a total dickhead but I would love to talk to the guy that decided that this should be 49%. Doesn't that just feel like intentionally disrespectful? Why would you not make it 50? Actually the easiest way for me to do this is the team of the year bundle. So we're gonna do it because you get 390 pluses. You get 195 plus, which is not very good odds. Then you get a choice of one of all the champions. So I'll open this since we'll get to see every single champion so I can go over all the team of the year players with you guys. I did reset the pack and play account other than a few of my favorites. We'll talk about that too. So it will be important who I grab here. Even your animations made. There is a Josh Allen. I kept 99 Super MVP Mahomes. We're not gonna take it. McAfrey's nasty. Like that card 97 Tyreek. You know this Tyreek is so good. Oh my God. Whoa, hard 99 speed. First player in the game to get a hard 99 on speed. Damn. AJ Brown got it. That's a great one to get CD. I mean, look at the team of the year wide receivers. They're all, they're so stacked. Tyreek, AJ CD, Sam LaPorta.  Use Jack. Who else was gonna get this other than juice? You know? T-WO! Prestige God. It's been an insane year of Prestiges. I can definitely say that. Jotuni, Creed Humphrey. Wow, look at that. Two chiefs, so linemen on there. Linstrom, Panay Sule. Dude, two lions already.  Jake Elliott, AJ Cole, Mad Max, Aaron Donald, Chris Jones. Andrickson, TJ Watt deserved Josh Allen deserved. Two Josh Allen's. Freddie Warner gets another one. Okay, so he did get one. Ooh. These are really similar to the team of the years last year. There's usually a little more discrepancy. Lageria State's definitely new. He was not team of the year last year. Jesse Bates, Well-Earned. Jibril Peppers? Really? Jameer Gibbs. There's another Willemot for stage option.  What?  These are the specialists, aren't they? So, this is the team of the year squad. Obviously, if you build the full team of the year team, you would have the best team in the game. You would add my homes, and then you would have the best team in the game. I'm taking Chris McCaffrey, cause this card is nasty. Not sure what abilities he gets. That's the only thing about receiving backs. They never get good discounted abilities.  He's 97 speed, 98 Excel, 89 catch, 97 change direction. His trucking is dog shit, but you don't really use it on him. 94 brake tackles, really solid. He has six ability slots, it looks like. This final slot's got short and elite. Ooh, wow, route tech for one is really interesting. I'm gonna use short and elite.  Goes human joystick for zero, short and elite for zero. So it looks like every team of the year card has two discounted ability slots. This is my pack and play squad. I kept a base like 90 overall team-ish. And then I kept a few of my favorite players that we've pulled, Debo Samuel, kept my homes cause he's gnarly, kept Gronk, Luke Keekley, limited Luke Keekley was an amazing pull. I was so happy to have him. I kept Ronnie lot. I kept Kermarty cause we built him from a set. We like just got him and that's it. Everything else is just base players. So definitely a great team, but also tons of room for improvement in all of our skill positions and good slots. Like we definitely need wide receivers. I got Ozzie Newsom, this shitty Jay Jettas and the 96 Debo. So we're gonna do something about that. Does this Jason Kelsey get any abilities? Let's tell you, does any of these discounted, anything good? Ooh, are you kidding me? For 160,000 training, you could get a free identifier on your offensive line. Honestly, respect. Hey, Jason Kelsey is an obvious hall of famer. Yeah, we'll go Kelsey, Mahomes, McCaffrey, Debo and Gronk. And I haven't used any AP. That's insane, actually. I gotta say though, there's really not a lot here. The team of your bundle, oh wait, I take it back. I haven't even opened this. Between Hamilton and Nakua, I think I want Puk and Nakua just because I can use them more. This 95 plus has a 9% chance at a 97. I don't know if that tells me anything. Ooh, this is an upgrade to the team. 95 in Joku is absolutely an upgrade to the team. 94 speed, 6-4. Damn, super solid card. They were 390 pluses. I don't expect a lot out of these, but it's over the team of the week. Just gonna quick sell them. Let's just make this one simple. 90 plus Super Bowl is Josh Norman.  And a Redux, this can't be that good. This dude got released. Oh my God, can we talk about that? All right, let's go for the opportunity pack. It's a 95 or a 97, 50, 50, and I can do two of them. I get two 90 pluses and then a 95 or a 97. I want Puka. If I can choose, I want Puka. Let's start with, that's actually a good sign. The Von H-Hand. The Blitz promo is what had the original limited Puk and Nakua. Another 90 plus is a Redux. Can't be too crazy. Keanu Benton. 95, 97. 95, 97. It's a coin toss, baby. Come on, come on. Once again though, Tristan Werff's is an upgrade. The only other pack that you can even get is this 95 plus, 9.8% chance. That's just not worth it. The only thing that is like maybe worth it is the opportunity pack. And I don't even like that because it is a literal 50, 50. It's too aggressive. We're running it back for the video. I don't know if I recommend this 95 or 97 plus. Ouch. We're on the wrong side of the coin flip twice. That's a bummer. It's not that unlucky to lose a coin toss twice though. So that's why you don't do parlays, gentlemen. That's why we don't do parlays. All right, we got clapped on that. No Puk and Nakua, but I'm not gonna keep, I'm not gonna buy either of these again. I don't think they're super worth it. Here's one thing I missed though. In Madden 21 and 22, there were team of the year packs in the store for training to get team of the year players. I missed that. That was a great way to turn your training into something useful. I will say though, you can go into sets. They've got all the team of the year players other than the limited.  You put three 95 overall team of the year players and then any 93, 94, you get a team of the year, your choice, these cards are nasty. So they do make it pretty realistic to get your hands on them. And to get the 95s, there's another set for that. You need 293, 94s, 391, 92s. It ain't that hard. Now, this is a classic pack and play episode here where I didn't pull Puk and Nakua. I'm gonna go buy them off the auction house so we can use them today. But I have to sell them after the video. I can't keep them on my squad because that's the whole point of pack and play. Dude, he's got some nasty cards though. So he got the 93 limited, then he got the 95 record breakers limited. And then he got the, no, now 98 team of the year limited which is 2.7 mil. Damn. It's not 99 Jason Kelsey, I guess. 98 overall limited Puk and Nakua. This looks nasty.  Like that's the theme for team of the year is gold, gold, gold.   Ugh. Okay, route tech for one's actually worth it on a wide receiver. Let's take route tech for one. Deep elite.  Dude, deep elite is a four ability point ability. If you rawdog deep elite, it costs four ability points. That's disgusting. Like look at this. That's how much deep elite is supposed to cost. We're running a route tech deep elite for a total of two. No fancy X factors. We're just gonna go double me.  Let's set our best lineup and see how it messes with this team. Cause we've got a few upgrades today. We've got McCaffrey, team of the year halfback. We've got Tristan Worfs and David and Joku. Take a look at what the game did. It ended up moving Gronk to wide receiver where he is still eligible to use Vanguard. So, oh my God, how have I never thought of this before?  So for like stretches and RPOs it's actually kind of disgusting. I don't know how I never considered that before but I am really excited to use it. Defensively, we really don't have too much to show. We do have the 95 DeForest Buckner who is a nice upgrade here. If he gets a discounted inside stuff this is actually a great budget card. He does not. He does not get a discounted inside stuff. So still a good card. No or near as good as it could be though. At this point Madden you should absolutely be running a zero AP or one AP inside stuff attack. If not two, but I have AP to spare. One thing that this team desperately needs are this faculty play squad. If we need a strong safety that B-Doc is not gonna cut it. I might even do some re-rolls here. Oh, I still have two 90 plus elites. Completely forgot about this. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. He runs not what we need. That's a four man. I might see if we can get it's Jabril Peppers, isn't it? I'll see if we can complete the set for Jabril Peppers, hold up. Might have to do some re-rolls or something. All right, we got him boys. 97 Jabril Peppers, 97 speed, 96 Excel. His mana zone are greatest, hip power is 97. We're hoping he gets deep in zone KO for zero AP. What are these abilities? He has medium route KO out my way and goal line stop. You know what's funny? Out my way is probably really good for stopping RPOs, isn't it? Dominant impact blocked wins versus wide receiver's aspects and tight end. But it's funny, I'm gonna run that. I've never ran this ability, but let's do it.  Mid zone KO. Okay, so if you're subbing him in as you're subbed linebacker, that makes sense. Dude, this is a full blown run stop. I guess he's a run support safety. Out my way, no outsiders. And I can't really justify this, but I'm gonna do it. Only for now I'll run deep out zone KO. Only because I have the room for it. You would never spend three of them. This has been quite the app session, gentlemen. I'm just yapping my little app off. Let's hop in. Is there a house rules? I feel like house rules is probably a better idea for you right now. Considering my internet connection's not great here. Speak of the devil. All right, let's go baby. This is my first Madden game in three weeks. So ironically, I'm probably gonna be really good. I don't know if you guys feel this way, but Madden is just one of those games like the more I play and the more I try, the worse I get. Does that make sense? Damn. Whoa, 98 overall, Justin Jefferson. When did Justin Jefferson get a 97 overall? Or a 98 overall? What is that card? He didn't get team of the year. So what the hell is that? Oh my God, it's a Packers Niners game. It's too bad it's not the NFC championship. I'd be guaranteed to. I do have a good amount of Niners on this team. I got Debo on the return and I got McCaffrey blocking up there. Wow, this feels weird. Oh, I haven't played in so long.  Feels good though. Like actually, like it's exciting to play. Dude, look at Gronk out there, Vanguard, that's exciting. Okay, I think the focal points gotta be this man right here.  There's seven yards. Zone alert, Omaha, wait a minute, I can try this out. I can try this out. There's Vanguard Gronk. Damn, that was actually played so well and Gronk didn't get the flatten either. That's such a bad ball. Guys, remember when I said I played better? Who am I throwing to? I saw Pukka was absolutely boxed so I just went to my next read when I should have just like taken the, whoa, Bo Jackson? Then Bo Jackson quarterback or seeing Wildcat? Is he in Wildcat? What is he in?  This dude's got an ability on every single player in his lineup. Dude, and I didn't even activate my abilities on Jibril. Oh my goodness, I'm rusted. What are we doing, Matthew? That's all right, third and two we ball. We ball, we ball, we ball. Hell of a stuff, wait a minute, fourth and one. Does he go for this? Does he know how to miss or does he kick it? We can get the ball right back right now. Kind of scared of him running it. Yep, yep, nice play. I don't think Jibril needs the abilities. This is Deuce Close stretch, right? Sure is, sure is. Hey, good tackles, boys. Logan Wilson with a nice clean up. Guys, I'm just a little rusty. Give me some time. I'm gonna get Pukka and Akua cooking, okay? This could be another inside zone. I'm good right now, boys. And I just got juked by Mike Allston.  Gun pack trips, probably the same thing, right? He's just gonna go with another inside zone. No. Yo, I'm spamming the button. I'm spamming this. I don't know why I wouldn't step up, but Bo Jackson QB gets a touchdown. Guys, if I'm bad at Madden, it's a good thing. It means that I'm touching grass. If you see me in a wheel of mud throwing dots, lasers, dicing my opponent up and playing well, that's when you need to tell me to go outside. All right, first and 10. Yucky first possession. He was in man coverage zone, which I do like because I feel like Pukka is just so good that he can just tear that up, right? Got a dot over the middle to Debo Samuel, but dude, he's playing tight coverage. That was hard to hit. Kind of looking for Pukka here. Don't wanna stare down too hard if isn't there. It is there.  Oh, Pukka and Akua! He doesn't have abilities. He doesn't know. How did I forget to put my abilities on everybody? How do I not have Pukka abilities and I don't have Jabril abilities?  Look at Vanguard Gronk down there just to kind of fucking... I think he did throw a nasty block, actually. I don't think I can get inside zone here because he's got inside stuff, right? His secure tackler on Warren Sapp. Wait a minute, I can run this. I've never seen someone run secure tackler and not inside stuff on Warren Sapp. Eight to seven. I told you guys, we're the Niners, he's the Packers. He didn't stand a chance right now. He's gonna go with the handoff again to Jamal. Keekley's there, but not after seven yards. This guy really sticks to the run game. I respect that. It's a lost art, Madden. Everybody wants to air raid. The same thing, different day, but we are... Oh, no, we're not. That's what the angle is here, gentlemen. Mike Allstock, Demon. BoJackson now has Truz, so he may elect to pass here. He does. Hey, could I not get just diced up by Mike Allstock, please? I gotta switch up the defense. I'm just gonna run coach's suggested defenses. Honestly, this throws off people more than anything. Oh, who's gonna be my QB spy? Who's fast enough to keep up with his bow? Oh, you're actually lying? How did I not just pick six? Somebody was standing there, bread basket. What? Oh, wow. All right, first and 10. I'm telling you though, he's going to make a mistake. He keeps flirting with it. Just gotta get him to finally do it. Coach suggestions on second and five, wants three, four, cover one. This is Deuceclo stretch. Left side or right side is the question. What's going on? That was not a good angle with Jabril, but I don't know how a single person didn't touch it. Dude just walked in on whatever. Good news, six point game, not a seven point game. Two point conversion was big. I'm just gonna score as quick as I can because I think that would improve my odds because I know he's gonna turn the ball over.  McCaffrey.  As you just score as quick as I can, no shenanigans, just score is so over.  He's got Bo Jackson quarterback and the middle line back here, slash safety. Also, just watch this. Two gentlemen refuse to block one. You gotta love that. All right, second and 16. That was a bummer right there. In joku, if I could put a dot on it.  Hold up. I'm gonna have to turn my camera off here for a second. Right after this run dot.  The cool. All right, second and 15. We're gonna run at the teeth here. McCaffrey will make this third and 10. This is tough. I did just get a bunch of penalties trying to reset this, but that's a tough one. I don't know. I still assume this is main coverage. It is. I can actually go Nakua playmaker. Oh, honestly, it's first ball that wasn't an absolute. So I'm cool. Let's see if he picks up on the slip screen. How do you bunk that? That should be an easy throw. Third and 10. Big conversion here. I don't know what I want. Big defense. Fourth and 10. I'm gonna have to kick this. Big defense.   I don't have abilities. Perfect kick anyway. The feds can't stop me. All right. This bow has trust. He's running the ball really effectively. I kind of expect another all-stop run if not an all-stop check-down. It's an all-stop check-down. I gotta say, boys, there's a decent chance that my camera just goes out.  Tell you what, it's gonna look weird. Be ready for it. That's all I'm saying. He blocks all-stop here. He does not have that. That's a good ball, but he's gonna go third and six. I still got three time outs. We kind of, I think we stopped him here. All right, we're gonna go even six-one Sam Will. We have not sent this at him yet. It's our first time today. I just need to get on the halfback. Insta throws, what are you doing, Josh Norman? You're lying me. Dude, who did Josh Norman just dive at? That was embarrassing. All right, first and 10, yeah, he's gonna go, oh, that's bad. He's got a touchdown.  And I didn't get an animation point, that's a bummer. Doesn't even matter if he runs the ball at this point. So we just kind of like concede the run. Yep, that's fine. You and I, you're gonna get three yards and I guess use the timeout, that's fine. He is just dying to make a mistake. I just need him to do it. What is going on? What are we doing?  We're just taking it. Bad time. Finally, I'm gonna say, bro, you can only throw out my face so many times. As Wheel of Mutt fans know, Lawrence Taylor does not need lurk artists. Too good to. All right, 20 seconds. Three timeouts. Always. That's a tough throw and a really tough catch, but we got it. Nice work. He's just running press man and then he's shading inside. So I wonder if Debo could get him. She's gotta throw this away to preserve some clock here. I need a formation that's got layers on both sides. Tighten these points. Here we go. This has a chance. Think we go pukinakua corner out. Is this slip screen? No, we don't want slip screen. All right, here we go. Nakua. Oh, bad angle. Shit. Oh no. Really bad angle. Yes! Yes! With zero seconds. Oh, that's huge.  He played that wrong. He has to take that ball out of bounds and kick the field goal. Although I respect the balls.  Stretch. Covering the edge. I forced him inside. Good play. Good play. Second to seven. So he's got a three point lead and the balls. We're definitely in a spooky spot, but I'm not too worried yet. He can still throw that check down. Out of bounds. Third and seven. I like the quarter's play here. I'm gonna guess pass, which I haven't done much of today. Dude, what's going on? But I got the full dive. I got the full acrobat animation. And no catch. That was such an obvious inside zone. Good defense. I don't get what's happening right now. Was there a patch? I missed a patch where you just like don't get as many animations or something.  Man, in his face, any through that. Alrighty. Yeah, this is not going our way. Tell you what, these are the games that feel really good to win though, if you can pull it off. Person 10, gonna go covered two man. I have a feeling that this is probably just inside zone.  What a play.  Oh, okay. I did not expect that and I guessed wrong. So it's good thing he has all-stop. Nah, Jamal, I've been really bad.  Hey, fourth and three. Yeah, there goes the camera. All right gentlemen, you've lost your camera for a little bit. I'm gonna move this ball into range and then get her back on. Believe, 16 to 11. No, yes. Yes, did I do that math right? 17 to 11? All right boys, believe in the face cam. He's gonna make it all the way this time.  Oh, it was out of bounds but he caught that. Yo, McCaffrey, what do you do? I'm gonna run the ball. I just kind of feel like it. Okay, okay, angles. Third and nine. Getting these penalties just kind of put me in a little predicament though. I don't really know what I want to run.  That's manned up too. I'm gonna give puka the out route this time. He has that whip route just so bottled but he has this just unguarded. So he's shading outside. Shading outside every single time which is leaving that wide open. Second and two. He's shading outside every time. First and 10. I can still run inside zone. No inside stuff on Warnsap. So this continues to be an option. Beauty. One more. Take me home. First and 10. Snap this in one second. Go right back to the inside zone and we will follow Logan Mankins for five yards. This is gonna be a close game.  You sure are, buddy. Now he expects it. Classic football. He expects to run again this time though. So he'll probably run, commit on this. Yeah, let's be smart.  Abilities are a myth. They're a straight up myth. He's a god.  You know what's crazy? I think the biggest part of this game so far was the two point conversion. This is a crazy close game and we're rocking in 18 to 17. Play ball, baby girl. Come on, Jake. I tell you what though, I'm starting to see like the positions we really need to fix up. I think mainly corners right now. I think Josh Norman's been the worst player on this team today. I love you, Luke Keekley. I love you, Luke Keekley. Yeah, so I know Pat can play a squad. I'm technically supposed to reset the entire team but I kind of like keeping some of my all-time favorites on the squad, you know? Third and five, that was good defense. He's gonna know huddle this formation now. We know it's a pass so we can guess pass. That whip route is not open. He has absolutely nobody and he's getting hawked by the Terminator. Fourth and five, we can win the game here. Like I really want him to think that this is a hot blitz when it's not. Here we go, lots of zones. I have a QB spy. Nice play. Oh, that was such a nice play. Damn, what a good route. The dig. He's gonna go inside zone here. We're going Ronnie Law. Come on, buddy. If he chews clock well enough he technically could just beat me with a field horse. We really don't want that. That's worst case scenario I'd say. Oh, no, you didn't. With all that heat, is his bow immune to pressure? He doesn't even have an ability for it. He's just a God. Look at Buckner though. Where's Buckner? Absolutely blew that up. Got a two minute warning on our side. He can't really beat me. Okay, he actually technically can. If he went for it on fourth and got a first down on this drive he could beat me with a clock. He'll check down to half back. Oh, he'll get sacked. Third and 16. Now I'm gonna send the blitz. He hasn't seen the blitz in a long time. I just have to get on all-stop. See if he blocks him.  Yup, he was going all-stop. I had it bagged. That's even better because it stops the clock fourth and 16. Now I do, I will say, I really wish I had Justin Tucker with abilities right now. I have no abilities on my kicker. I'm actually a little scared about making this field goal. But the last two possessions we hold in the field goal, I low key, especially with this shitty internet connection, I could miss a field goal right now. So I think I want my touchdown. That's what dreams are made of. I'm gonna start with inside zone. He cannot stop that.  I think we stay in this formation so that I always have the option. I mean, that's what's giving him the most trouble right now is he just doesn't know. That's killing him too. That's seen beater puka. We really don't need much more yards. Interesting. That was different. Second five and go, no, I'm gonna call a timeout here. 27 seconds left. We really gotta be careful here about Justin Tucker.  Can I seen beater him again? Is that possible? I can. I mean, not totally. He calls the timeout. There's just definitely field goal range. Just absolutely hitable field goal too. Like to make this more manageable though. Better. He calls the timeout. Yeah, let's make this the most manageable field goal of all time. What a run. 21 to 20 if we can drill it. He knows what I'm doing. I think he wants me to put it in. He calls the timeout. This is really good. He can't ice me now. I don't know if he meant to do that, but he cannot ice me now. She's absolutely massive. I still have one more time out. I'm actually gonna try and score the touchdown right now. Then I don't even have to worry about Tucker. If I can put this in, this would be best case scenario. Just gotta hope he doesn't score with absolutely negative seconds. All right. Two seconds left means this should use the entire clock. It's gotta hit it. He can't ice me. Real nasty guy. Mike, Mike, check, check, check. Yankee, Yankee, I'm a real nasty guy. I hit those. Special teams, special plays.  Let's go.  Honestly though, I think if we run that back, I think I win most of the time. I think I just needed the time, you know? I don't know. I felt like I was the better player in that game. Bo had zero passing touchdowns and an interception. My home's had two interceptions. McCaffrey, 12 for 88. We made the right choice. Jamal was good. All-stop was good. He was just a little predictable. Team of the Year Pukunakua, don't say I never did nothing for you. Okay, I got my Team of the Year players, their stats on the Team of the Year video. Nine for 146, two touchdowns, zero abilities. Don't let the meta sweaters tell you what abilities to run.  Hell of a game.  Nate Wiggins with two interceptions. This guy owns me. Lawrence Taylor interception was very clutch. Awesome game, boys. Hey, first video from Hawaii. I hope you guys enjoyed. I still gotta record some Wheel of Mutts here.  And the rest of the videos, after I think the 15th of March, the next like 30 days of videos, I'll be from this side. So I hope you guys enjoyed. I hope there were not too many technical difficulties.  You made it. You made it to the end. I love you guys. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.


This is Orson Welles speaking from London, the Black Museum. Here in the grim stone structure on the Thames, which houses Scotland Yard, is a warehouse of homicide.  Here's a brick that coarse-grained, rough-edged familiar. Perhaps your own home is built of bricks, exactly like this one. In this case, however, no home was built by such a brick. Rather, a home was destroyed by it, destroyed forever. It's still such a normal-looking object, Inspector. Is it really? With that broken corner? With the stains still on its edges? I suppose you're right, sir. If there's one thing that can upset normalcy, it's spilt blood. And today, that blood-stained brick-pat can be seen. Here in the Black Museum. Canals of the Criminal Investigation Department of the London Police. We bring you the dramatic stories of the crimes recorded by the objects in Scotland Yard's Gallery of Death. The Black Museum. Scotland Yard's Museum of Murder. Here lies death upon these tables within these cabinets. The files of death labeled with day and date and name of victim. Here's a hat rack. It's hard to find such a commonplace object here, perhaps, but observe. Here were the wood curves from base to shaft, three brownish stains. Blood dripped here from a weapon concealed within the lining of an overcoat. Three stains. Which placed a murderer at the scene of crime. Broken alibi. That's another story. Here's our brick-pat. Of such bricks are garden walls built. Later, the ivy or some such creeping vine grows over them, hiding the sharp edges, softening the four square contours. This brick, too, was meant for such bucolic purposes. But as it happened, things didn't work out that way. We might say it all began when young Anne Friskian composed an advertisement and told her much older husband, James, about it. So you're placing an advertisement, wanted boy, about 18. Reference is handyman work. Some such thing? Exactly, dear. Oh, very good. Only don't get him get too close to Alma. It might not be good for her. A simple domestic scene. Wife cooperating with husband of the other way around, if you prefer. Some small mention of the husband's cousin who stays with him. That's all. The advertisement appears in the usual help-wanted columns. Several young men apply. One is Dick Terry. Yes, ma'am, I've had some experience during the summer at my uncle's place in Dorset. And the money's all right? Oh, quite generous, ma'am. What would be the room over the garage and all? Well, your references seem quite good. And a good school report, too. The boy settled into his job and worked out well. The gravel driveway was soon in good condition. The lawns were well mowed. The bricks were ordered for the repair job on the garden wall. Yes, the bricks were ordered. And in the household, all was well and quite normal. One more hand, ladies. If you wish, James. Aren't you satisfied with beating us again, dear? I suppose I should be. But it must be somewhat dull for you, and night after night with just Alma and me. In the household, we've said all was well and quite normal. Undercurrents? If you look for them, perhaps otherwise, a retired, well-to-do gentleman in a suburban London home, living quite happily with his lovely young wife and his cousin Alma. Still, one never knows. Does one. Good morning, Dick. Oh, hello. Oh, the work is coming well, isn't it? Yes. Lovely day, isn't it? Nothing quite like the springs we get here, is there? It's awfully quiet there. Yes, I suppose it is. For someone your age. Begging you pardon, Mum, it don't seem to me like he would be giving up just yet. Oh, thank you, Dick. It's nice of you to say so. Um, aren't you getting those bricks a trifle on evening, Dick? Oh, that's on purpose, Mum. It's a trick I learned from my uncle. He gives the creepers and vines and such a better hold. Oh, it's clever. You do know your work, don't you? I hope so, Mum. If a person likes to do his work, we're his appreciated. Well, you are. No fear about that. And just to prove it, come up to the house later. We'll see about finding you a nice cold drink. On a warm day like this, a cold drink... No, after all, it's quite natural, isn't it? You do as much for your help, wouldn't you? No one would think anything of it. No one did in the Friskin household either until these trips for the long-cooled drinks became somewhat habitual, at which point Alma spoke to Anne. Do you really think you're doing the proper thing, Anne? Of course, it's none of my business, I suppose, but... What are you driving at? That boy. He's an excellent worker. People will talk. About what, Prey? Oh, nothing. But people will talk about nothing, you know. And if James should hear from the wrong person... But please be explicit, Alma. I don't happen to have a devious mind. It's quite simple. James is past middle age. You're young, vital. The boy is undeniably attractive with that flaming hair and all. And he is up here at the house quite a good deal. And you're suggesting? Of course not. I am merely pointing out to you how it can look to the neighbors. Frankly, I don't care. Please don't bring the subject up again, Alma. I refuse to discuss it with you. Alma did not bring up the subject again, not with Anne. However, she waited for an opportunity and then... James. Yes, Alma? I... I want to talk to you. Aren't we rather formal today? Closed doors and all that sort of thing? I'm not speaking behind anyone's back. I've already taken this up with Anne. Oh? What's the trouble? It's that boy, Dick Terry. Dick? Alma, don't tell me he's been making advances. That's not funny, James. Oh. Sorry. What then? Anne is letting him spend too much time at the house. His place is in the garden and the garage. People will talk. Aren't you doing a bit of talking yourself, Alma? I'm doing my duty as I see it. Then you've mistaken your duty. I'm fully capable of protecting my honor, as you doubt this would call it. And I'll thank you, Alma, not to bring this up again. Although doubtless, you have the best intentions in the world. Very well, James. But if anything does occur, you'll thank me for warning you. Yes, Alma waited her opportunity and spoke to James. That worthy and decent gentleman dismissed the incident from his mind. That should have been the end of it, unfortunately. However, the whole matter was reopened and in quite a different quarter. Good morning, Dick. Morning, ma'am. Oh. The hedge does look nice. Thank you, ma'am. Is anything wrong, Dick? In fact, I'm giving notice. Why, Dick? But why? I'm giving notice. But what's wrong? Have I done something? Or is it about your money? Because if so, I'll speak to Mr. Friskine at once. Don't bother, ma'am. I'm leaving. I'll call it wanderlust. Call it anything you like. Dick... Dick, look at me. Oh, do stop clipping that hedge and look at me. Yes, ma'am? I insist on knowing what's wrong. I thought you were happy here. I know I've been happy to have you here. I'd rather not... All right, ma'am, but you asked for it. I asked for what? It's you, ma'am. I'm crazy seeing you day in and day out and having you nice to me, just nice to me and thinking of you with him and me not having the ghost of a chance. I can't stand it, ma'am. That's all. You'll have to let me go. Poor Dick. You've held this inside you all this time. Yes. Oh, Dick, I'm so sorry. So terribly sorry. Flash-firing dry grass on a warm summer morning, perhaps in any case, the boy stayed on his job and nothing further was said at the household. Everything was routine, quite normal. Even the bridge games in the evening, three-handed bridge, of course. July moved on into August. Hot, muggy August nights. Well, I'm going up to bed. Coming in? Uh, oh, uh, not just yet, dear. I think I'll read a while. It may be cooler in the library. Good night, dear. Good night, then. Good night, Alma. Good night. A hot, muggy August night. No moon. Barely a breath of air. James tossed restlessly, sleeplessly. And that you and coming to bed, dear. Go, go, go! Well, today that brick-bat can be seen here in the Black Museum. It was Anne's screams which brought Alma and then some of the neighbors. James was not dead, but nearly so. The doctor, Dr. Kinder, was his name, examined his patient and proceeded quite efficiently via the telephone. That's right. The ambulance at once with oxygen equipment. I want the operating theatre ready and each of those nurses and my assistant. Friskin has a badly fractured skull and with his heart condition he has about one chance at 100 to live. All right. I'll wait for the ambulance. Now, the police. Police? Well, there it is.  Oh, if only I'd gone upstairs with him. If only I'd gone upstairs. If you had. Operator, ring through to the police, please. Hurry. I would have walked in like that to find him there in the blood. Oh, this boy is breathing that awful gasp. This is Dr. Kinder. Let me speak to the superintendent, please. Dick, where's Dick? Dick? Yes. Where's Dick? No one had missed the boy until Anne thought of him with all the excitement or the horror. No one had realized he was missing. Dr. Kinder finished talking to the superintendent of police and turned back to the two women. The superintendent is sending an inspector wealth. Very good man, he says. CID. CID? Criminal Investigation Division. Did I hear you mention someone named Dick? Yes, Dick Terry. He's the, uh, the hired man. Well, more of a boy than a man. He has a room over the garage. And he isn't in the house? He hasn't been here? No. The neighbors came, but not Dick. Perhaps I'd better fetch him. No, stay here. The police will find him. The police will find him. They did find him, but in his room over the garage. Where was he, Sergeant? In the etiquette inspector, hiding in a corner. All right, son, speak up. Why? I, I, I got scared. That's it scared. What of? I heard Anne, uh, Mrs. Friskin screaming and I ran over from the garage and when I got up to the room where the lights were on, Miss Galpin was carrying on and Mrs. Friskin was just standing there screaming and he, he was on the bed and I, I just ran. You didn't offer to help. Why not? I couldn't think. Nothing. Why? I, I guess I didn't want to be blamed for doing it. Who would blame you? Oh, somebody, anybody. Did you do it? No, I never touched him. Never. All right, Sergeant, hold him in the kitchen. All right, sir. I'll talk to the Galpin woman now. What is she, a companion or something? A cousin of the victim, sir. Lives here. All right, send her in. Alma Galpin knew nothing except the discovery of her cousin in the bedroom. But the inspector was curious. The hired boy says he was scared. Have you any idea of mine? Well, he's been making sheep's eyes at my cousin's wife. Oh? People were talking. He's a good-looking boy. She's so much younger than poor James.  The inspector knew. Also, he was a considerate man. He implied as much to Anne Friskin. I know you've had a terrible shock tonight, Mrs. Friskin. But I have to ask you a few questions. Of course, Inspector. I'll try to answer. Did your husband have any enemies? Anyone who might want him out of the way? Oh, no. No one. Everyone like James. Even the boy? Dick Terry? Dick? Oh, no. No, you don't think that Dick... I don't know yet. But we'll have to hold him, Mrs. Friskin. He seems to have something of a motive. At least there seems to have been some talk. They held Dick Terry on an open charge pending developments at the hospital. There, James Friskin hung on the fringe of death, barely breathing, completely unconscious. At the house, Alma faced Anne. The police. What do they know? I don't understand. They're holding the boy. They're not even looking for the weapon. Meanwhile, whoever did it could be miles away. Then you don't think Dick did it? It's too bad, of course not. Why would he? Even... Even... You never gave him any encouragement, did you? Alma. Did you? You're hysterical. I know exactly what I'm saying. And I don't believe that boy raised a finger against James. Then why did he hide? Wouldn't you, in his position? The police? Arrest? The most obvious person? That's all they know. Someone ought to teach them their business, obviously they don't. There are those who would like to teach the police their business. Quite a few people would. Alma Galpin set out to try. And it was with that idea in mind that she appeared in Inspector Ralph's office at the local station house. Well, Miss Galpin, sit down, won't you? Thank you. What can I do for you? How far have you gotten this case, Inspector? We're still holding the boy. The only charge at the moment is assault. If your cousin dies, well, that'll be another matter. Then you've done nothing. For the moment. I see. I brought you this. No. Why don't you open it? As you wish. I see. A brick bed. With stains on it. Don't you want to have it checked for fingerprints? Rough surfaces like this don't hold prints. Why? It's the weapons. Oh, how do you know? I found it. It was in the little pile of leftover bricks at the foot of the garden. James... James was going to ask the boy to build a bargain for Q Pitt with four. I see. How do you know so surely this is the weapon? That's blood on it, isn't it? It might be. Aren't you going to have it tested? Probably. Miss Galpin, do you realize that this brick might be the piece of evidence to hang that boy? It might be. It might hang someone else, too. Is this a charge, Miss Galpin? Who stands to gain most? Who would have her freedom? Who would get James' money? Have you thought of that, Inspector? Who wanted the brick wall repaired? Who spent altogether too much time in the garden? Have you given any thought to these questions, Inspector? Perhaps the Inspector had. Others had, that was certain. And, certainly, with one sentence, Dr. Kinder changed the entire complexion of the case. I'm sorry to have to tell you, Mrs. Friskin, but your husband passed away about ten minutes ago without ever regaining consciousness. Now, it was murder. And Anne Friskin, the young widow, came to the station house to see Dick Telly in his cell. In here, ma'am, you have ten minutes. Yes. Thank you. I'll be back in ten minutes. Oh, Dick. I didn't do it here. I'm stuck for it, but I didn't do it. Oh, Dick, you don't think for one minute I believe you did do it? How should I know what you believe? Well, you know me better than that. I want to help you. I know you better. Do I? Do I know any more about you than you know about me? Oh, Dick, don't talk like that. Please. Please let me help you. I'll get you a lawyer. I have money now. I'll take care of you. Sure, sure. You've got money now. You've got it all now, and I've got a murder charge. Anything you may say will be taken down in writing and may be used in evidence against you. After what you've done in the garden. Oh, forget it. Maybe that never happened. Maybe I was really crazy. Maybe you figured more than I meant. Well, what's the difference? He's dead, and you've got everything. You keep saying that. I've got everything. Well, haven't you? Isn't it what you wanted? You think... you think I did it? Oh, do I? All I know is I didn't, but I'm stuck in this rotten jail. I won't peach on you if that's what you're worried about. Not unless my own neck can't be saved any other way. Oh, maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. Not a very present scene. Not a very present circumstance. The young woman, the boy, sadly tender phrases of a summer morning shattered between them. However, in the offices and the floor above Dick Terry's cell, Inspector Ralph and Sergeant Hopkins were more interested in facts than in phrases. So, pathology reports it's Friskens' blood type on that brick. It's the weapon, all right. But who used it? The boy had a crush on the wife.  No, I doubt it. There aren't any elevers, sir. She went to bed as usual. No one saw her anywhere that night. The Galpin woman says she went to bed. The widow says she read for a while, went upstairs and found her husband. Could all three of them be in it together, sir? How do you figure that, Sergeant? Well, Mrs. Fiskens could have promised Galpin money. And Mrs. Fiskens would have had the boy. They might have planned to have the boy actually do it. Come in. I'm sorry, Inspector. Not at all, Mrs. Fiskens. Come in. Sit down. I believe you know Sergeant Hopkins. Yes, I have very little to say. It might be easier standing. As you wish, ma'am. I just saw Dick downstairs. Too bad about him. He seemed a nice lad. Inspector, this is not the easiest thing for a woman. I understand. Do you have an alibi for the boy? And yourself? Yes. Yes, I do. Inspector was an understanding gentleman. He offered no comment. He merely recorded a fact and let Anne Friskens leave his office with her own thoughts for company. Later that same day he arrived with Sergeant Hopkins in tow at the Friskens house. Ladies, we've done some further checking and investigation. I'm surprised you have the situation. I see. Thank you for that, at least. We're letting the boy go. He's in the clear. I knew that all along. I told you so. Yes, you did. I remember. The day you brought me the brick bat. Where did you find it? In the pile at the foot of the garden. I see that you know, Mrs. Friskens. There is no pile of bricks at the garden. It happens to be in the rear yard, near the back door, close to the foot of the back stairs. The stairs which reach the second floor quite close to the door of your room, Miss Galpin. Now, Sergeant, if you'll stay quite close to Miss Galpin and take down what she has to say. Taken down and maybe used as evidence. Yes, the usual warning.  She had everything. Even the boy with his sheep's eyes. I had nothing. I thought, if I got rid of James, who was too dull to care, she'd be blamed. After her, I'm next of kin. I'd have everything. I saw the little pile of bricks. I meant to put them in the garden later. Now, brick is heavy. It... Today, the brick bat can be seen here. In the black museum. Orson Wells will be back with you in just a moment. They put Alma Galpin safely away, where she could harm neither others nor herself. Dick Terry left that pleasant suburb of London and dropped into the anonymity one can find only in a great city. Anne Friskin sold the house and went far from London to start over, perhaps, but to carry with her always the memory of tragedy on a hot muggy night. And the memory of a mistake made through loneliness and mistaken kindness. Now, until we meet next time, in the same place, I'll tell another story about the black museum. I remain as always obediently yours.


Mostly the change in technology is the biggest thing we're trying to take advantage of now. Lighter weight, equipment to use, digital technology, the use of LED lights for light stuff up, which makes everything lighter, makes everything last longer. So really, in a nutshell, to take advantage of the technology, we took advantage of all the newest technology that we could find on STEM to Stern. So we went and talked to the marine engineer and got the latest specifications. So when we looked at what our needs were, that put us into the pump that we needed as far as pushing the water out of the back of the boat, that drove the engine that we had to have in it, that drove how much fuel we had to have and when you have that much weight, then how do you displace that fuel? So that's how the boats are built today when we want them to operate with about 6 to 8 inches of water on draft and then at rest in about 18 inches to 22 inches of water, then that's why the boats are as big or that's why they look the way that they look today. This is a brand new boat, it's a Rogue River, 22 foot original inflatable with a 380 horsepower V8 motor in it. It's basically the same motor that comes out of the Cadillac Escalade, except it's a Mercer's version, a Marine version. It also is attached to a large volume jet drive pump, it sucks water straight out of the river, shoots it out the back, gives it a nice flat undercarriage so we don't get hung up on things when we're going fast. At top speed it'll do about 45 or so miles an hour. At shallow water it can go anywhere from 6 to 8 inches in depth, minimum depth. So it goes very well in the rivers around here. Primarily what we do is we'll take these boats and we'll rescue people out of the American River, out of Lake De Tomas and also out of Folsom Lake. We've had a lot of incidents where people were rafting and things like that where they fall out of their boat and they just can't catch up to the river raft so we'll pull up alongside of them and assist them get them back in the water. Also we've had instances where we've had people stranded on islands and things out in the middle of the river. We have a sight scan sonar, the latest touchscreen technology for GPS and mapping. We have a lot more lighting internally on the boat, on the externally on the boat so we can see our night operations are greatly enhanced. The drought is interesting, the drought does not stop people from enjoying the water. It does not stop them from going to the river. So we're going to see whatever river flows we see and people are going to be out there in that. So the moral of the story is with less water means less depth in the river and that's where these boats operate the best is in that shallow water environment. And regionally we all have that common capability now so it's a nice enhancement for the region. Dollars to fund this project comes from the federal government through California Office of Emergency Services and then it's sent to the region and the shish cap dollars are then decided upon by the folks at the region. Then we were able to put together a good package over the course of time and finally get it funded and that was able to make these boats a reality for the Sacramento County UOASI area. Further these boats are a resource to the state of California through the McMaster Mutual Aid Plan that's a flood evacuation boat should they ever be.


Keith, have you done this event before? No, we haven't done tug in New Zealand. We actually lined up in the Monaro a couple of years ago and broke the camp shaft on the way to the start line. I have done the Silver Fern though. I've done all of the Silver Ferns, so I've done plenty in New Zealand. We actually love the Kiwi roads. We love the way the service guys look after us. In all seriousness, I'd rather race in New Zealand than Australia. It's the first time we've been down here. How are you enjoying this? The South Island roads are just unbelievably good. Like, they are so cool. And this car? The car loves the roads. I just need a bigger heart. I'm not game to trust the crests. A set of notes would be sensational, but having said that, I think it probably would spoil the event to some degree.


Words appear, Communication Access Real-Time Translation, CART services for deaf and hard of hearing people. Communication Access Real-Time Translation, also known as CART, is available to deaf and hard of hearing people who seek an alternative to American Sign Language Interpreting, or ASL, or reliance on assistive listening devices. A CART machine hooked to a laptop. CART is an advanced and accurate translation method that uses a human captioner assisted by computer-based captioning technology to transcribe spoken dialogue word-for-word into written sentences. Students take notes. CART is widely used in a variety of educational, professional, and personal settings. In an office, a student and a captioner. For example, here at the University of Washington, CART is often used to enhance students' ability to learn in a classroom setting and communicate with instructors, mentors, and peers. CART provides real-time word-for-word translation, transcribing each word as it is being spoken. On a large screen, University of Washington. I was part of the first summer academy here. DeWayne, student. What CART does is it actually types that exact word and leaves it up to you whether you know it or not, like you can ask the question, what does that mean, or if you do know what that word means, you're understanding what's it saying. If you have verbatim word-by-word print right there in front of you, you're able to understand more and have a lesser chance of misinterpreting what they're saying. CART is noted for its accuracy, speed, and wide variety of practical applications. These qualities enable CART users to follow dialogue more efficiently and precisely. Jesse, student. CART has been very helpful, like, for example, in a really non-classroom, and it can be really noisy, especially when everyone's just talking all at once, so CART has really helped me understand my classmates, what they're talking about, and not better. CART providers are able to customize their services to accommodate each user's needs and preferences. Text font size and text color can be modified to fit each CART user's preference. When working in a live setting, providers will try to position themselves so that they can clearly hear a speaker and simultaneously watch the transcription they are producing in order to correct any mistakes. There are different display options to fit different settings. These include personal computer screens, projection screens, television monitors, and mobile devices. If CART is being used in a group setting, a larger display can be very beneficial. A large monitor in a classroom. In classroom or workplace situations where a user needs to follow and understand complex vocabulary, CART can be very advantageous. In certain settings, such as math and science classrooms, CART's word-for-word translation is a useful resource. Sameer student, Sameer science, subtitles. In lecture halls, like computer science programming classes, with in-depth technical vocabulary, it's useful because programs like Java have a lot of technical words that can be hard to interpret. But using CART, I can see the exact words and keep up. I'm not losing vocabulary that is hard to interpret. CART can be used in a variety of settings and can be flexible according to each user's needs. CART technology allows it to be used in a mobile setting, such as a tour or site visit. The captioner follows a small group down a hall. This flexibility enables users to engage in real-life situations in which participation might otherwise be challenging. One participant uses a smartphone, another a laptop. Eric, student. Eric signs. CART is neat because it is the closest to direct communication with a speaker. I do it my own thing on the computer and send it back. I can read the captions and catch specific things about how a speaker is communicating and what they're saying. Upon approval, at the end of a CART session, a written log of the transcription can be sent to you and saved for studying or record-keeping purposes. Sameer signs. When class is finished, they give me the transcript so I can read it. I can read through it after class in case I miss something or the interpreter miss something. It's useful for studying. For ASL users, there are different ways to utilize CART in a classroom setting with other hearing individuals or instructors. If an ASL interpreter is not available while using CART, an option is to type replies on a laptop computer for the CART provider or your seatmate to voice. CART can also be used in a teleconference setting, allowing a user to join a conference call using a remote CART provider. In this situation, the CART provider and user both remotely join the conference call and the user receives a live transcription of the teleconference on their internet-enabled computer. There are other speech-to-text services available. Seatprint is a real-time speech-to-text translation service. It uses a meaning-for-meaning translation system. This allows it to summarize a large amount of information very quickly. Typewell works in a similar fashion to Seatprint, providing meaning-for-meaning transcription. Both services can be useful depending on the situation, but do not provide word-for-word transcription as CART does. Automatic Speech Recognition, or ASR, uses an electronic device to capture speech and then internally translate it into text. It promises to become an effective independent translation source, but at the present time, variables such as noise, pronunciation, pitch, volume, and accents can disrupt the automatic translation process and make the transcript difficult to read. CART and other similar transcription services provide many benefits, including equal communication access and independence, while fostering full participation in a variety of settings. Students, professionals, and others that are deaf or hard of hearing can benefit from diversitility and comprehension offered by real-time transcription services. Jesse. I'm learning at CART and it's really helpful, especially when you're loud and know the environment, and especially when you're a teacher or in a classmate, it's targeted very quickly, or if you cannot hear any game, you're probably like 100% of the time. Eric signs. CART is beneficial if you want to learn about people or if you want to pinpoint specifics. And you don't want anyone to paraphrase for you because you could risk missing something. With CART, I'm able to, you know, be active and be engaged fully in whatever the subject is. For more information, consult www.uw.edu.accesscomputing.
