This is Will Spencer from the renaissance of men here with the new 21 report and Suzanne Vanker. It's nice to meet you Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for being here. Sure. You spoke at the 22 convention. What was the title of your talk? It was it's time to end America's gender war. Oh, wow, okay So what was what were some of the subjects I can imagine that you covered? Yeah, so I opened up talking about The piece that I wrote in 2012 for Fox News called the war on men Which ended up going viral because feminists got ahold of it and Had apoplexy and that cost it to go viral. And so that was kind of a whirlwind experience and I sort of piggybacked off from there and talked about You know, how far we've come how far we haven't come how far we've devolved in the last 40 years when it comes to men and women the relationship between them and Really with a focus on what's happening with men and how if men fall behind then women fall behind too And there's just not, you know, whenever you hear about men What's happening with them in society in terms of for instance the fact that they're not going to colleges at the same Rays college is the same rate as women and they're not working at the same rate and all of that That's gonna hurt everybody. It's not just them So it's not like something not to worry about so I kind of connected that with marriage rates And why the marriage rates have plummeted and why men are opting out and now women are having Babies outside of marriage because they basically can't find husbands and why that is Yeah, I talked to Eric Kerr a little bit ago and you dealing with the family court system and the divorce industry and how that's Disincentivizing men from getting married as well. It's horrible. It is. I don't get into any of that But I understand. It's all the same different angles of the same issue Talk a little bit about that 2012 experience.  I had been dealing with pushback Before that wasn't kind of my first rodeo But it but I opened the speech With the subject line that I received as a result of that going viral that said, please kill yourself Hmm I would say that was pretty striking. I haven't had anything like that before since But I wanted to show the level of vitriol At the mere suggestion that something's going on with men And women but starting with men because it was called the war on men And how dare I even go there when that's not the narrative. So I'm upsetting the narrative and that's Wow, you know, that's just so deep as to could you imagine actually writing that in a subject line? And then actually hitting send Yeah, but I have to imagine myself being pretty mentally ill. Yeah and so This is your first time at the 21 summit 21 convention. What have been some of your impressions? Let's talk about the 22 convention. What have been your impressions of the women who were there?   I don't know a typical male. Right. Sometimes I think women can have an extra degree of viciousness to each other You know true. Oh my gosh. Yes. Yeah, so I mean, maybe it's maybe it's almost worse for you Right, I mean I'm I'm I guess you might say genetically bred to be a warrior and to take it But women aren't quite bred the same way No, they're not I think that's why there are fewer of us because you have to really have you definitely have to have thick skin There's no question about that But I've kind of moved away from that whole scene from 2012 So I was talking about that in the talk as well that I I'm kind of done fighting Feminists on the publics in the public sphere and I I have a podcast this is an banker show and I do relationship and marriage coaching So that's really where my attention is today is helping individuals Be successful in their marriages and relationships when they're fighting this huge Narrative that is steering them this way and I'm over here saying hey, you don't have to do it that way There's another way and and here's how it looks which gets into the masculine feminine Dynamic and all that so that's what I do on a weekly basis. Oh, so do men and women call into your show or You know for the people watching Okay, so it's sort of like Introducing them to speakers and authors that like that who speak to these issues So on the show, um, it was actually originally a local radio show in the Midwest where I'm from And then that devolved and we're now just strictly a podcast So it's been a couple of years and I had a guest on every week and just recently have gone out on my own And just I'm gonna having just going to be having guests periodically But that's still very new and it just moved from once a week to three times a week So it's me solo now three short podcasts or three short episodes, but I do have a lot of Emails and questions and comments that I'm constantly collecting that are like yay Hi, so I will take time to sit there and answer them that way So it's not a call in but you can ask a question through email and I'll answer it So for the for the people watching and listening short like 30 minutes sort like an hour 15 minutes 30 or less Yep, they were an hour every week and now it's 30 minutes and then like 15 and 15 sometimes a little longer Did you find that the women here? Oh, go ahead. Sorry. No, I was gonna say some people love that some people don't They should be longer. They should be shorter. Yeah, I can't win. You can't make everybody happy, right? So did you find that the women here? Did they know who you were? Have you had they heard of your work? They seem to that was great. Oh, wow Have you gotten the chance to interact with some of the men who are attendees of the 21 convention as well? Yeah, what has that been like for you? Yeah, they're great. I mean, it's it's I mean, I'm it's nice to know that they've got a space to um talk openly about Their experiences and who they are and without being shamed, you know I talked about that in the talk men About being shamed for being male and you're supposed to change who you are to keep up with the times as a put Rather than our understanding The differences between women and men and appreciating and loving how wonderful men are if you just know How to bring out the best in them. So that's kind of what I do On a weekly basis. That's who I am. That's what I do today. Well, how do you bring out the best? I don't know really like, you know, we were talking before the cameras Started rolling about allison armstronger book the queen's code how that for me as a man reading that How it taught me so much about myself and allison has actually said that, you know She set out to write a book for women about men and she didn't expect that would benefit so many men So you must have had the same experience. I have had the same and it's so awesome It's been really fascinating because I'd say my audience is pretty much now 50 50 men and women Yeah, and I do marriage coaching, but I do it individually Sure, but I and I do work mostly with wives, but I definitely work with husbands as well And even single men who are trying to figure out whether they should marry the person they're dating that kind of thing And what's nice is that my youtube channel, I'm out there now enough to by the time people get with me for coaching They know what I'm about. You know, and it's very helpful to have those two working side by side But yeah, hearing from the men is like, can I give you know, like the alpha? I was telling you about my book the alpha females guide to men in marriage and I'll have men, you know, asking me How do I get my wife to read this? Can I like strategically put it by her bed that kind of bedside? and Yeah, a lot of that that I wasn't expecting when I first wrote it, which Gosh talk about a window into what's happening. I mean, I've just got slammed from like Seeing how how pervasive this dynamic was of the over Masculinize a woman and What men do with that? Which is a combination of either fighting back and hence the conflict and the power struggle Or the retreating There's just and and and then not knowing, you know Who is to blame or who's to fault or how to fix it and then when I come along and sort of teach women the skills To do that they're just like I've never heard this before, you know And they see how quickly it works, you know, which is really just speaking to What motivates a man and making him feel Superfluous is not not it. No, that's not the way that's not the way or nagging and complaining and yeah So like you could sum up what I do with the coaching is basically helping wives not do And being softer and kinder and gentler with their approach And so when women go through that process, what are some of the things they usually say to you at the end of the process? Well, they'll tell me I guess the running theme is I just can't believe How quickly that worked like you don't it's not like losing 100 pounds We have to wait three or four months to see action It's immediate and when they get that then it's that much easier for them to keep it up And then they're just sort of like why have I never heard this before and that gets into well You've been living in a you go girl world And and you can do no wrong and men are trying to hold you down So you're hold all your defenses are up You're just coming at it all wrong and you and everybody else It's not like you're unusual and I don't really blame them actually. They've been cultivated in that way So what happens when women get to that point? Like why didn't anybody tell me this? Where do they go from there because as men I know, you know, men have answers Like why didn't anybody tell me this and we start getting into the deeper so sociocultural reasons The men go there, but do women go there as well? Do they start asking those questions? We don't get into that there. We don't really they know what it is like every fourth Coaching session Something will come up like well, you know, that's feminism for you or you know, the culture did that But no, we don't talk about it much. They are real. We're really honed in on their individual relationship experience That makes a lot of sense, but they all end up. I mean they all are kind of on the same You wouldn't have a strident feminist calling me for marriage help Probably they're not even married, you know, but I mean if they were I'm sure I mean there are feminist who are married But um, they wouldn't reach out to me So you can kind of as by the time they've all been sort of vetted in their own way by knowing what I'm about Before they call and you have to be open and ready to try something that's very counter cultural and desperate really to save your marriage To work with me. Is that that's when the companies when they kind of do I and that's not fun It is unfortunate. That's not how I meant it to me But I have to say 75 For not the single people, you know, people who are married 75 of them are But they're not to the point of like Well, I've had a few I've had I had one who was separated Just about to separate and I like I can't help you if you're separated because you've got to be in the house ready to and they he separated for three months came back then she called and um They were all in or she was all in to make a change and and several months later. They're still going great So in unless my point is unless you're all in if you have one foot out the door I'm not going to be much help to you. You really have to want it. I can't make anybody want something But I can show you how to get there if you do I think that's very hopeful that there are some women because it would be easy to get kind of nihilistic and be like Women don't want to be married and they just want to kick their husbands to the curb But there are some women that want to stay married to their husbands and I I feel silly saying that Well, I mean there's so much negativity about How women are today and I'm part of that I get that I just have a lot more sympathy Because it's not I truly believe it's not their fault. They were groomed this way by the generation of women before them If you want to blame someone it should be them I know you can only reap what you sow and they've been raised by all their own mothers and the culture to think of men As lesser Beings, you know and and a milder. Yeah And so it's a real massive mind shift to work with me and And and you just have to be willing and ready. Yeah Have you gotten the chance to listen to any male speakers of the 21 convention of the patriarchs? I've seen them on channel in the past, but no not not this time anyone that stands a little bit of anthony's I did when we first came in That's it What have been what have been your impression of the conference overall? I guess this is your first time here. It is it is the dinners were great everything. I mean it was nice to get to know people and Really really varied backgrounds. Very cool. I wonder if you could talk a little bit about your book how to get hitched and stay hitched Which I actually I saw this sitting on the book table out there and I flipped it open I was like looking at the table of contents. I was like, oh, this is great after yeah Let's look at the table contents actually gave it away, which is good. It's very helpful read the table What did I say? Yeah, so I started out with the four lies the culture tells that's part one And then part two was the 12 step program, which is basically You know imploding the lies and saying this is the wrong way to think and to live and this is the way and when I say wrong I mean Assuming you want to get married and have a family and be happy. I'm not trying to tell people what to do I'm just saying if this is the plan that you have Following the culture isn't going to get you there. You need a new one. So that's the purpose of this book So it's everything starts from living an examined life And that basically means being counter cultural instead of following and then it goes through the different steps Yeah, do you want me to go through them? No, that'd be a lot. Yeah, I mean, you know men can men can where can men can can't men look up online Where okay amazon you could just google the title. Yeah, and you'll find it very quickly so You know you you mentioned earlier men had asked you how Can I get my wife to read this like you actually have any advice for that because you know I recommend allison's books because I'm familiar with them. It's like but men asked me I said you got to read this to understand yourself and if you want to help impact positively affect your marriage Maybe try and get your wife to read it like I have no idea how to get my wife to read this It's a hard question to answer to be honest because at the end of the day a person really has Can't neither husband nor wife or man nor woman or person to person can help someone else Change they have to be looking and be ready and open lead a horse to water. Yeah, it's kind of like that So, um, there isn't an easy answer for that easy way to do that Except maybe mention offhandedly. Oh, I met so it sounded really interesting Instead of here read this book, you know, that's probably not it's a little more strategic. Probably not gonna probably not gonna work um Well, so talk more about your podcast and some of some of the issues that are coming up now because it seems like It seems like the conflict is only growing But I know that underneath that men and women are actually finding their way back together and that this conference is an example of that Yeah, um, so it's called this is an vicar show creative, right? Yeah, I like it straight to the point and um, it covers I mean I try to cover things that come up in the news sometimes if they're related to this issue Which that's not hard to find on a weekly basis. Um, but generally I'm I'm basically taking a lot of what I'm seeing in my coaching And trying to bring it to the world via the podcast so that more than just the couple I'm working with see Not just not just hear about what's happening if they can relate but also what to do about it So some of those skills like I did a video recently Well, this is I guess it's a video not a podcast, but they are interchangeable sort of Six six things women need to know about men Oh, I want to know what those are and that went that's still doing really well I think it's like there's almost like 30,000 views on that now. That's well for me. I'm not really a youtube person I'm more of you know, the podcast and the coaching is my main focus But we do have the youtube channel and we do put the podcast on the youtube channel three times a week. Um I don't remember what I said now I wrote it. I mean I did it a couple weeks ago. I do so much content. I can't remember. Um, Sweet talk and bottom lines men like sweet talk and bottom lines like get to the point Not long winded and be sweet.  You know, uh, that was one of them. Um I'm totally freezing. That's totally fine. Look up everybody can look up six things Women need to know about men on my youtube channel and you'll find it there That's wonderful. Do you plan to stick around for the next day or so or check out the rest? I'm leaving in the morning. I'm having dinner tonight. Okay, and then I'm leaving in the morning Wow, I'm grateful that you were here to you know, share with the women and and to meet with the men and and tell them You know, what's going on with men and women? It doesn't have to go the way the culture says Definitely not Now if you want to win not if you want to I mean win at it win at love win at the game of love Win at the game of love if you want to call it that I love it. Yeah, thank you so much. Thank you That's great. That's me. Nice to meet you too. This is will spencer from the renaissance of men here with the new 2021 report and susan banker. Thanks so much


The level is rising globally and at an accelerated rate, even a seemingly small increase could have potentially devastating consequences. However, preliminary studies show that in some areas, mangrove forests could be acting as a natural barrier to these changes, protecting coastlines by adapting to the rise in sea level. With its partners, the Centre for International Forestry Research, C4, is exploring just how these coastal wetland forests adapt in the face of sea level rise and what impacts deforestation is having on the mangroves. Mangroves thrive in a saline intertidal environment that's prone to rapid water level changes. This means the structure of their roots is highly effective in pumping oxygen into the soil and trapping sediment. In many places, the rate of sediment accumulation keeps pace with the rising rate of the sea level, protecting interior areas from erosion and flooding. But degradation and deforestation threaten this unique ecosystem. We are losing the mangroves at a faster rate than global deforestation, leaving many coastlines and those whose livelihoods depend on them exposed. To better understand mangrove ecosystems, a team from C4, the University of Singapore, the University of Papua and Bintuni Utama-Murni Wood Industries, spent 10 days collecting data in Bintuni Bay Papua, home to half of Indonesia's mangroves. The team aims to set up equipment to help understand how these trees adapt to sea level changes, to monitor the effect a number of factors have on the rate of sediment accumulation and to assess the amount of carbon they hold. The results from this data can help identify the areas most vulnerable to factors such as pollution, coastal development and aquaculture, which will inform conservation programs of the areas that most need their attention. The scientists spent the first few days in Manawaki speaking to local universities and preparing themselves before going into the field. What they're collecting is accurate, site-specific data that can show how quickly mangrove forests are capable of adapting to sea level rises. The way to get this information is by using the ROD Surface Elevation Table Marker Horizon Method, known as ARSET. This portable measuring device is very simple. Using it causes no damage to the environment, is low cost and is currently the only tool that can capture surf's elevation change with such precision. We're at 14 metres and this is the receiver, which we're going to put into the PVC pipe attached to the steel rod and then cover in cement and then when we come back in a few months to measure the ARSET, the ARSET arm locks into here and so this is our stable point where we might take all of our measurements. But before we take the measurement, we've got to install it. Here is the receiver installed on the rod. So now we're going to cement the rod into position. This is using the high-tech piece of equipment that you saw earlier, the cup, to scoop out some of the water. We're going to make the cement cake. This is a cement and sand mix and we just scoop it in, being careful not to spill it outside of the tube. So as I add some water to the cement, I pour it over the receiver to make sure we haven't got any bits of cement stuck on here. So we've almost mixed the cake in the cement once it sets. This is almost done. We just ice the cake, make sure it's flat. And we're done. One ARSET finished. The ARSET captures surface elevation change by measuring the rate the soil level increases against the markers that are being installed. The equipment will be installed in 15 plots spread across three different parts of the forest, interior, fringe and mudflat. Once into place, the benchmark rod can be left for long periods of time and the team can return whenever they want to collect their data. They'll collect the data from the site every three months for the first year and every six months in the following year. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, the project will last a minimum of five years. We want to have a representative situation because sedimentation is so slow. So sea level rise caused by climate change is relatively slow. And we want to see at least five, six years to look at how it's the accumulation of sediment and also see the change in sea level. We can date it by looking at the carbon dating approach. So we can see what's in the past 300, 1,000, 5,000 years ago as well by taking the sample below the ground. Carrying out research in muddy, flood-prone areas comes with a host of logistical challenges and dangers. This is a technique you will learn at the Graduate School in the National University of Singapore. The technique will be called the wind in mangrove technique. The work can also have an effect on your body.  Your lunch to you instead. Yeah, it's probably easier. Besides protecting coastal zones, mangroves contain some of the highest carbon stocks in the world. Previous seafall research has found that mangroves hold three times as much carbon as other tropical forests, which makes them a high priority in climate change adaptation and mitigation programs. Samples of the surface soil will be collected by the team throughout the project to measure its carbon density. The precise data retrieved from areas like the one in Papua can be used to inform emissions reductions initiatives. The carbon storage capacity of mangroves is all the more reason to renew efforts to protect them. Currently, we have 13 million hectares of mangrove. But in the past 30 years or so, the world has lost almost half of the mangrove cover. And in Indonesia, at the moment, we have 2.6 million hectares. It used to be around 4.5 million hectares in the 80s. So in the past 30 years, we've lost 40% plus area of mangrove, meaning that the deforestation or the loss rate is about more than 50,000 hectares a year. There are clear links between the destruction and degradation of mangrove forests and the increased vulnerability of many coastlines. Protecting mangroves means not only less carbon is released, but coastlines are better protected by a natural coastal buffer. This means they are more resilient in the face of global warming, sea level rises and extreme weather events. Changes to sea level rise and surface elevation occur on a millimeter scales. This means that current mapping techniques such as satellites, GPS and LiDAR lack the precision to monitor the changes. If highly precise asset data is combined with existing mapping technologies that can cover large areas, it could lead to substantial advances in understanding wetland vulnerability. This is just the beginning of the project. The team will be returning to Papua to collect data for years to come. The future of these mangroves could depend on it.


Hello everyone, welcome to the video lecture based on DC response of RC circuit. Myself Prachi Shah working as an assistant professor in Vulture Institute of Technology welcome you for the corresponding video lecture. Learning outcome at the end of video lecture student will be able to discuss about the DC response of RC circuit. Recall about the basic concepts of storage elements such as inductor and capacitor. Storage elements such as inductor and capacitor have the property to store energy across them. In capacitors the energy stored in the field in the form of electric field while as in inductors the energy is stored is in the form of magnetic field. Now, when we are discussing about the corresponding DC response of any of the circuit that might be RC circuit or RL circuit we should consider about the transient states and steady states of the corresponding circuits. So, let us discuss what are these transient and steady states. A circuit having constant sources is said to be in steady state when the current flowing through the circuit or the voltage across any of the elements does not change with respect to the time. So, that particular circuit will be called as in steady state. While as the condition prevailing between two different steady state is called as transient state. So, the corresponding responses of the DC circuits in the corresponding transient state is called as transient response. So, in this video lecture we will be discussing about the total DC response of RC circuit which consists of transient as well as steady state response. Transient effects occur in circuit because of these storage elements which is nothing but L and C. We should also know that the transient effects are more severe in case where the DC circuits DC sources have been used. It should be also noted down that the transient effects are more severe in cases of DC sources as compared to the AC sources. Why the corresponding effects are more severe in cases of DC circuits? Think about it and try to route down your answer. The transient effects are more severe in cases of DC sources because we know that the corresponding frequency of any of the DC sources is 0 while as we have AC sources with corresponding frequencies. So, the effects are more severe in cases of DC sources. So, when we are discussing about the transient and steady state of the circuits we should also know about the initial and boundary conditions. Going through the capacitor can be given as by the relation given as over here i is equal to cdv by dt. So, in the steady state as the rate of change of voltage is 0 therefore current flowing through the circuit is 0 which indicates that capacitor acts as an open circuit in the steady state. Also capacitor has a tendency that voltage across it does not change instantaneously or suddenly. Therefore, the voltage across it also cannot change it. So, therefore, if voltage across capacitor is 0 in the initial conditions then it indicates that capacitor acts as a short circuit in the transient state. Now, let us try to derive about the DC response of AC circuit. So, we have a circuit where a DC source has been connected in series with a resistance and a capacitor along with a switch. So, before time instant t is equal to 0 the switch hasn't been closed that indicates that circuit is not connected. At time t is equal to 0 the circuit has been closed. Now, let us try to write down the equation for this particular circuit by using Kirchhoff's voltage law. We have voltage across resistance plus voltage across capacitor is nothing but equal to total available voltage.  Voltage across capacitor can be given as 1 upon c integration i dt is equal to v. Let us try to let us calculate its derivative with respect to time. Therefore, we have ti by dt r plus 1 upon c i is equal to 0 since voltage is a constant its derivative with respect to time will be 0. Therefore, we have ti by dt is nothing but 1 upon r c i is equal to 0. This is a first order linear differential equation which has the solution as only complementary function. So, its solution can be found out by using i is equal to constant e raise to minus t by r c amperes. So, as to find out the value of this constant c we should use the steady state and initial conditions. So, as in the steady state we had said that the capacitor acts as short circuit. Therefore, current flowing through the circuit will be equal to v upon r. The capacitor acts as a short circuit in the cases of steady state. So, we can replace c by a short circuit. So, if therefore, let us replace this value in the equation we have current i is equal to v upon r e raise to minus t by r c amperes. This is the current flowing through the circuit for a c dc r c circuit.   Therefore, voltage across resistance it can be given as v into v multiplied by voltage v can be given as v multiplied by exponential t by r c volts. Let us also calculate voltage across capacitor which is given by 1 by c integration i dt. So, therefore, it is 1 upon c i value we have calculated as v upon r e raise to minus t by r c dt. By calculating its integration with respect to time. So, which just comes out to be v by r is constant integration of this value is nothing but minus r c integration in exponential e raise to minus t upon r c plus constant of integration. So, this value gets cancelled we have v c is equal to v e raise to minus t by r c plus c. So, as to find out the value of constant of integration let us use the initial conditions. So, before closing the switch the circuit was open hence there was no voltage across the capacitor. Therefore, v c was 0 before closing the switch at time t is equal to 0 which implies that 0 is equal to e raise to 0 will be nothing but 1 plus c. Therefore, we have c is equal to v this is nothing but constant of integration it is substitute this value in our equation number 1. So, therefore, v c is minus v e raise to minus t by r c plus v. Therefore, voltage across capacitor it can be given as v into bracket 1 minus e raise to minus t by r c volts. So, by this we can conclude that the voltage across capacitor it grows on or it increases in the fact in the form of exponential waveform. So, we have calculated the dc response for the r c circuit this particular video lecture was created by using the following references you can use those references for further details. Thank you.


It wasn't, just a puppy. You found the best place, for your vengeful needs. A dog will love you more than you love yourself. We are the center of their universe, the focus of their love, faith and trust. Many consider dogs family. And when their furry family members are harmed, it's no longer about vengeance. To them, it becomes justice. These are their personal stories. Before we start, teach the like button, how you make a pencil disappear. Naturally, viewer discretion is advised. These true revenge stories might be disturbing to people who thought it was just a puppy. This happened when I was like five years old and my dad told me the whole thing. When I was a cute young boy, I had the best and smartest dog that I ever had. His name was Brian and he was an old German shepherd that my family got from a nice old lady, because she couldn't take care of him anymore. As I said, he was smart. For example, if my little two-year-old sister got outside, my dog would drag her inside the house again. Or when I escaped from home to play in the woods, I was a savage kid, he would just guide me back to my home at night, and a lot more things like that. I love that dog so much, sadly he passed away from cancer when I was like 10 years old. So here goes the story. I also had, and also still have, a crappy uncle. Let's call him Crappy. Crappy was, and is, a piece of garbage, a parasite, he steals from his own family, and not only things or money, but he also stole a song that my dad wrote and actually sold the rights to it. He also used to drink a lot during family reunions and was terrible with kids.  My dad noticed and hit him once, telling him to stop, but he didn't. So one day, I was in the house of my grandma, and my mom and dad went to the market for something. Then Crappy arrived and saw me. So he immediately went after me screaming he would end my dog. I got scared, burst out crying and started to run away from him through the house, all the while he persecutes me, repeating himself over and over again. Then I saw it in all of its glory, behind a wardrobe, my other's uncle shotgun. I grabbed it. I was very big for my age so I could handle its weight, and then I aimed at Crappy and said the coolest thing that I ever said. Who are you going to end? And boy, he ran outside the house and fell to the ground, I repeated myself over and over while running after him. Who are you going to end? In that moment the cute kid was gone, I was full of rage. I remember him going into a full blown panic, because he screaming like an ape as he ran and crawled under a car. Then people started to get involved, and when someone tried to get the gun, I just pointed at them screaming in rage. Who are you going to end? I would only repeat this over and over again, like it was a mantra. And then I saw my dad, and all the blind rage went away. I dropped the gun and started to cry like the little and traumatized kid that I was. My dad screamed my name and took the shotgun away from me. My mom grabbed me while my dad opened the shotgun, then he saw my uncle, he looked at me again, and looked the shotgun one more time. It was loaded. He said. Crappy screamed in horror one more time, and started yelling at my dad. My dad just said. This all was your fault, I told you, stop terrorizing the kid, but you just couldn't stop, right?  I'm using all my strength to not dupe you in the face right now. Crappy never threatened me or my dog again. I don't know how the police didn't get involved. The funny part? The shotgun wasn't loaded at all. Background information. My family is a family of three, middle class, and we grew up in a nice area. Nothing too fancy, nothing terrible. Just your typical suburbia with neighborhood parks, churches, and schools all within walking distance. We were nice to our neighbors and all knew each other. My parents had an outdoor fire pit that they liked to sit outside on the back patio and drink, listen to music, grill, and relax outside. My family is very respectful of rules so the music was almost never loud, we don't throw parties, and we kept mainly to ourselves but invited people over occasionally. When I was in eighth grade we had some new next door neighbors move in. They were a family of four, mom, dad, son, daughter. The son was a year older than me and the daughter was a year younger than me. The daughter and I hit it off immediately as friends, but I noticed something was off when I would go over. For the purpose of secrecy I will change their names, let's call them the Smiths. The Smiths had a weird idea of how to interact with people. I get it, everyone is different. They were very blunt and open about everything. Never would say, thank you, didn't think about others. They just turned out to be scum of the earth when it came to treating other people with dignity and respect. Just weird people, but I guess it takes all kinds. Onto our lovely furry friend. My family had a medium-sized besenji that my dad had trained very well. When I was a junior in high school, daughter Smith really wanted to have a new dog. Daughter Smith basically got whatever she wanted, being the younger sibling and could do no wrong. So mother Smith got her a beautiful German shepherd. I'll call the dog Turdy. Now Turdy really isn't the one to blame. The Smiths never corrected the dog so it's honestly no surprise that Turdy never behaved.  He was constantly off the leash in the front yard, tried to pick fights with my dog, in the backyard he was always trying to dig under the fence or in some places tried to knock the fence down. Turdy was obsessed with running the fence line with my besenji, and just trying to get to him whenever we saw him. They got into a few dog fights when Turdy got loose, but I promise, it was never my dog's fault that this 80 pound sack of fur ran into our yard and picked a fight. A few years of this behavior go by in the Smiths and my family aren't friendly anymore. We would express to them that their dog was trying to get to our dog, that the fence was in bad shape, that my dad and I were constantly filling the holes under the fence, that their dog had dug. They just didn't care. My family went into their own pockets to replace three sections of fence and just doing that pissed them off.  Now on to the actual story, a few days before Thanksgiving, Turdy dug yet another hole under the fence. Since I wasn't at home playing with the dog as much and my parents were fixated on getting Thanksgiving plans ready, no one noticed the hole. The Friday after Thanksgiving my parents were out relaxing in the backyard, the dogs were running the fence line and I was about to leave to go hang out with some old high school friends. I went outside to tell my parents that I was leaving, when we hear the most horrid yelp by any animal that I have ever heard.  Half of his paw was torn almost completely off as well as some other things that I won't describe, because that would be too much. Long story short, we actually had to put my dog down because of it. Now, the Smiths refused to acknowledge what had happened. They never once said sorry, never once offered to pay any part of the medical bills, nothing. As far as they were concerned, we were the dead ones, not my dog. Enter revenge. By this point my family is pissed, and we have nothing but time on our hands. We devise our revenge over the course of a few months.  First step, collect dog turds. I'll come back to that later. Second step, take them to court and get their dog classified as a dangerous dog. If you ever have the chance to look at the hoops you have to go through to keep a dangerous dog, you would know it's horrible. The requirements change depending on where you live but in our area. The dog had to be muzzled while outside. Never could be off a leash, pay fines, has to have a special crate in their backyard, which was hard for them, because they had a pool. Add random surprise inspections, and if the dog has another incident the dog has to be put down. To be clear, the goal wasn't to hurt the dog. Just make their life difficult for as long as the animal was alive. What was important for us, is that it set up a record with the city and police department. We slowly convinced our neighbors to call them in on every violation that they did for months. Park more than 18 inches off the curb? Ticket. Loud music past quiet hours? Ticket. Now, I know you're thinking that calling the cops and making them pay tickets isn't revenge and you're right. It was great cover though. We started to play our music loud right up till quiet hours every single night for three months. When they got fed up with it and tried to call the cops, there was nothing they could do. We'd politely explain that they have had a record of doing the same thing, and then they would get reprimanded instead. Third step, summer rolls around and now I'm home and working a nine to five job, so all of my nights are free. The Smith's son was working second shift at some restaurant, so he never got home until after midnight. During the summer in Texas, your car could reach 120F to the touch in midday. Point being, even at midnight the car was hot. The best part was that all of the Smith's cars were parked outside. My mom got this idea after one of her friends got pranked by putting glitter in the air vents, let defog your windows. We decided to step it up a notch.  One smelly freezer versus what we did. Totally worth it. Over the course of June, when anyone would check the mailbox, which was perfectly placed on the other side of the Smith's house, we would drop one of those nasty ice cubes into the defogger van of the son's car. Then halfway through June we started moving on to the mom's car. Like clockwork we would see them on weekends, trying to air out their cars all day, making it even easier to throw in ice cubes all summer.  Here's the fourth part. The daughter was a big swimmer all the time. Her parents never made her have a job, so all she would do is swim all day and night, if she wasn't hanging out with friends. My dad came up with the idea of poo poo bombs, when he bought a slingshot to shoot down Hornet's nests.   The daughter and her friends were swimming for about two hours before they noticed questionable brownies floating in the pool. The fifth step took a lot longer to accomplish, their air conditioner was right on the other side of our fence. You could get on your tiptoes and see the unit less than five feet away. Remember those nasty ice cubes? We started throwing them on top of their unit and they would melt and eventually made the house smell. Then, instead of fishing the cubes, we slowly replaced them with gravel and sand. The sand and gravel would rattle around at night, causing them to not be able to sleep between the smell and the sound. Finally, they called out an AC repairman who tried to fix it. The AC guy basically told them he had no idea how sand and gravel ended up in the unit, but that it would eventually need to be replaced. The Smiths got suspicious and eventually put up cameras around their house. So we had to back off some. Final part, we wanted to move to a different city by the time I was almost graduated from college, so we were model citizens and just didn't talk to them. When our house did sell and we were moving out, I waited to check the mailbox until they were out in their front yard. I checked the mail and began my walk back home when they said something along the lines of, glad to see you move or good riddance. I stopped to turn at them, made a show of smelling the air and said, do you smell fish? Then smiled before walking back home. Their faces as they figured it out was priceless.  The following story is told from a female perspective. Never spoke much about this revenge, but here it goes. I came home from a double shift at work, only to find someone had actually shot my two English mastiffs. Every one in my neighborhood knew it was my one neighbor, but no one could prove it. He would smirky make comments alluding to it, but never outright said he did it. I actually had very little interactions with this 50 year old prior to this. Most were very cordial. I know what most of you would say of think, but I'm not the explosive type. I'm patient, very patient. And I will wait a long time before I take my chance. I never make rash on the spot moves. I plan everything out. I would rather make your life hell through petty things for years, than make a big move that could get me in trouble. Almost every move I make is legal, or at least, it is because you cannot prove anything. I will admit, there are times I become borderline obsessive about things, but it's just how my brain works. I do think my own boyfriend is slightly scared of what I can do when I become like this. I don't like that, but at least he's not living in denial of my vindictiveness. So on to the story. Fast forward three years later. Everyone in the neighborhood hates this guy still. He is just a monster. This was just a first thing I did. I waited enough time, so I would not be the first suspect. I had a horse that fold sooner than I thought she would, was told she was due in December, she fold in August. After checking her placenta to make sure it was all there, she gave birth while I was at work, I was at a loss of what to do with the afterbirth. A few days later, I see this bootyhole neighbor put up a beautiful brand new white front door. I immediately knew what I was going to do. Middle of the night, I used two ice hooks, carried this massively heavy placenta to the front of his house. And heave that blob right on his door. All I could see was a dark blob at the upper half of the door, all the way down. He had a new door put up the next day. This wasn't all, what he did was unforgivable. You see, he had a very cushy job at Lockheed Martin. So one opportunity fell into my lap, when some confidential material was accidentally left in my mailbox, instead of his, I turned it into a win. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but internal stuff from Lockheed Martin, which they certainly didn't want out. Mostly payroll stuff. He might have close ties with city employees, but government is my bread and butter. I contacted them and said that I was at a bar with him, and he was just bragging about the new aviation budget, and how he makes more than someone they're 10 years longer. He drinks on the job, etc. He got fired from his job. Next opportunity was when his mother moved in with him shortly after. I befriended her as the super nice young lady with a family, and she bitches at him nonstop. His wife apparently left because his mother moved in. Last I heard, he was moving into a house big enough for all of them. That was a year ago, he still lives there. His mother thinks I am the sweetest thing ever. While I am waiting until she fully trusts me, then I'm going to tell her what he did to my dogs.  He left letters in my mailbox, blaming me for his misfortune.  He is currently dealing with the city's water department, guess his connections don't go there, about having to pay for a new pipe. It technically is city side by an inch. But a few favors called and made that negligible. This took place way back in the sixth grade towards the end of the year. I live on the same street as this kid I will call Dan. I have a dog that is about seven years old and loves being outside to play with the neighbor kids during warm weather when everyone is out.  She ran into the house balling, telling us what just happened. We ran outside and picked up our dog and rushed him to the vet. After not too long of a wait, the vet came and told us that our dog was alive and that he should recover over the next week or two. Now my parents were angry, and they took this to Dan's parents, explaining what he did to our dog. They seemed to be understanding of the situation and told us that they were sorry, and that they would punish Dan severely. But I couldn't let this go, I was immensely furious. This didn't satisfy my anger towards Dan at all. Now here's the deal, I never really liked Dan. He was a bully at school, we were both in the same grade, but not necessarily towards me, but towards my close friends, and I guess I have been ignoring it for far too long. We were in the same grade and something the school does every year for the sixth graders, is to have a big science fair towards the end of the year and everybody tries to make these super elaborate projects. This is where I start my master plan. Once everyone was getting close to finishing their projects, I look around the classrooms to try and locate Dan's project. His is along the lines of some sort of aerodynamic rocket that travels really fast down a close line in a small amount of time. Perfect. I checked out the rocket and the rocket has a fuse. Too perfect. That night I go home and look at my firework inventory I had left over from last year's 4th of July. Sure enough, I still had a huge belt of firecrackers left, so I went over my plan on what to do. After school the next day, I dissected Dan's rocket and put in as many firecrackers as I could and made sure that they would be set off once the fuse was lit. I put everything back together as if no one had touched it at all. Skip ahead a few weeks and it's the day of the science fair. It took place in our gym and we were supposed to be next to our projects all morning, as judges came around to judge them. So from my point of view, I couldn't see where Dan was presenting, but I paid close attention to every noise in the gym. About a half an hour into the science fair, I heard an enormous explosion from one end of a gym and a loud crash. The blast was stronger than I thought. The rocket was obliterated along with Dan's hearing. One of the beams that held the close line fell over and broke some glass on some other poor kid's project. There was a lot of shouting and all of the adults rushed over to that end of the gym to see what had happened. I stood perfectly still. I just sat there giggling at my handy work, knowing how traumatized Dan must be. I felt no sympathy, only villainous satisfaction. So this happened last year to my Nan. She's happily living in her 70s and lives in Manchester, one street from my aunt's house. Two years ago, my Nan, who was looking after my aunt's dog as she was on holiday, took the dog Bonnie for a walk.  Whilst on that walk, through the field near her house where she went every time, she saw a Staffordshire bull terrier. This dog was unmuzzled and off lead. Like most dogs, this dog approached Bonnie who was on her lead. Suddenly, completely unprovoked, it attacked grabbing poor Bonnie's leg. Bonnie was completely helpless until my Nan stepped in, attacking the Staffordshire until it would let go, even hurting herself in the process due to her chronic arthritis. Eventually, the dog let go and ran off to its owner, who was completely useless in the situation. She apologized to my Nan, which meant nothing to her, as she was distraught, and a stranger who witnessed the attack helped to put her in a car to the vets. My Nan sat with Bonnie the next 10 hours and unfortunately, Bonnie lost her leg. My aunt and her family returned home the next day in a wreck as well seeing their dog. The following weeks had a court case which decided the fate of the Staffordshire and the owner. The decision you ask? To pay for the vets bills over a period of time.  My Nan and Ant were livid rightly. It was revenge time, surely. Over the following week, my Nan and Ant posted about the incident online, including pictures of the owner and the dog who attacked my Nan, as well as pictures of Bonnie, leaving her as a local criminal. She had her house egg that Halloween, toilet roll scattered over her lawn to the point where she had installed CCTV. On top of this, my Nan put posters up of the dog with wording, beware, dangerous dog and neglectful owner. Eventually, the owner moved from her house to a new location about two miles from her old home. Trying to get away from it all. Unfortunately last year, about 11 months after the attack, Bonnie passed away due to a decline in health following the attack. My Nan has been left traumatized and fearing of dogs, even though she has been the most dog-loving woman I've ever met. Justice has not been served, however as recently, the vet bills stopped coming through. My family are currently planning on what the next step should be but as of now, the owner and dog have got away with it but were blacklisted from the local community. This took place about 9-10 years ago after a work-related back injury. I was on workers' comp and had a ton of free time and severe back pain. I decided to give the devils let us a try for the first time in several years. I live in CA and it was legal to use pot here with a doctor's recommendation. Right before all of this, I moved into a cheap little apartment in a not-so-great part of the city. I was naive, and didn't realize that I was surround by meth addicts. I'm a musician and one of my neighbors was a fellow guitarist, Tim. We bonded pretty quickly over music and smoking. Things were going fine with my new place until our landlord, Cindy, got into a huge blowout with Tim over their illegal plant growing operation. Those idiots were growing hundreds of plants in the empty units without any permits or the consent of the owner. I don't know what really happened between them because the stories kept changing, but the fight was basically over money. Cindy was a woman in her 50s, but turned into a junior high school bully and set out to turn everyone against him. She first tried to get me on her side by giving me a lot of pot. When that didn't work, she started vandalizing my property and framed Tim for it. I became furious at him and confronted him about what was happening. We got into a huge shouting match and he called me, someone who has never used a drug in her life, unless you count pot, a meth head. His insult was especially ridiculous because he was an active meth user. After that incident, Tim would bang on my front door at all hours of the night, would yell racist slurs and insults at me and it even escalated to him trying to kick my puppy. The final straw was when he ran up to me while I was outside and threw a huge bucket of hot water on me, my puppy and my phone. My dog was fine and after placing my phone in a bag of uncooked rice, it was fine too. I, on the other hand, was beyond livid. Here is where the vengeful brainwave entered my thoughts and took over. I talked to a friend, Chris, about what was going on at my place and we concocted a plan. Since Cindy wanted me on her side, she gave me lots of information about Tim, including his cell number, which I gave to Chris. He started calling Tim several times a day. Chris also started parking his car in visible places near the apartment complex. I began talking to the other neighbors and fed them information about mysterious cars and people watching the apartment complex. I knew the info would get back to Tim without me having to do very much. Tim became more and more paranoid and got to the point that he finally asked me, of all people, if I had noticed anything strange. I told I had been seeing a strange car nearby with people just watching his apartment. He tried to give a half-ass apology for what he'd done, and asked me to let him know if I saw anything else. As a good neighbor, of course I agreed. He said he didn't know if it was the cops or a gang following or watching him. I shrugged as if I didn't know. After about two weeks of Chris volunteering his free time to help me with my revenge, it all came to a head. One day, Tim hopped into his car and started driving. I was on the phone with Chris, as he gave me the play-by-play. Chris started following Tim. Tim tried to lose Chris by turning into a grocery store parking lot down the street.  I seriously had no idea he even carried a firearm. Chris then chased him a few miles down the road until I was finally able to get him to stop and go home. I was worried he'd be arrested so I called everything off, but it didn't matter at that point. Tim was now convinced that they were trying to get to him or somehow steal his plan operation. A couple of days later, Cindy asked if I was interested in moving into Tim's apartment, which was slightly bigger than mine. I asked what was going on and she told me that Tim was moving out of state, and that she was getting rid of their growing operation ASAP. By this time, I found out that she had been responsible for starting the fight between Tim and I. I was already looking for another place to live, so I declined and instead found the phone numbers for the complex owner and his son. I told them everything about their activities. I also called the power company to let them know about the illegal power usage for the empty units. I'm not sure what happened with the power company, but when I called to inquire about an available apartment a few months later, I found out that the new landlord was one of my old neighbors. Cindy still lived in the complex, but was no longer in charge. I settled my workers comp case a few weeks later and moved on. Although this was a very turbulent, but short time in my life, it taught me many valuable lessons. You stayed till the end, which means you're the one I make these episodes for. I want to take this moment, to thank you, I really appreciate you. Remember that these stories really happened, and people chose to share it with us. So I ask you to be respectful in the comment section. I guess that'll be it. So I'll see you in the next one.


Hi. My name is Harold, and I'm the CEO in Glint Solar. We have developed a software tool for solar energy developers, and our goal is to accelerate the installations of solar energy all around the world. Did you know that if we are going to meet the target in the price agreement, with a maximum 1.5 degree increase in the global heating, we have to build eight solar parks like this every day in Europe for the next 30 years. And this solar park is 10 megawatts. It consists of about 20,000 solar panels. It's about the size of 20 football fields. So every day, we have to build eight solar parks like this. And that's just in Europe. In the world, we have to build about 10 times as many. And we're not doing that now. But there are a lot of capital being invested in the sector in last year. It was invested $184 billion in solar. And for the next years, it's going to grow with more than 20% every year. And all this capital is being invested, and the price is very low now for solar energy. But the big challenge now is that you have to find where you're going to build all this solar. And that's why there are a lot of companies now looking to try to find this. And that's the problem that we are solving. And England Solar, we're using satellite data, machine learning, and various other data sources to help solve this problem. And why this is challenging? Well, take, for instance, France, if you want to build something there, there are more than 90 million parcels. And for each parcel, you have to evaluate a lot of different factors like what kind of land it is, what's the slope, how's the shading, is the floating, what's the distance to the grid where you connect the park. And all this takes a long time. So the solar developers, they have told us they really want a tool which is scalable, which they can help they do the work faster and better. And because the process, when they're doing site identification, for instance, it's very manual. And the tools that exist, they are not really made for the teams working well together. And also the data sources they're using is fragmented. They are often building their own internal tools to try to solve this problem. So that's why we created this tool. I'll show a small video as well. But here you can see it's, you can easily filter on the map to find a good site. You can go deeper into the locations to see how is the topography and other criteria. You can search on different parcels based on what kind of land you want to build on, what's the size, what's the distance to various roads, distance to the grid. And then you can start technical and financial analysis. You can create reports to know what's the price, how much money can I make out of this site. And you can also have all the project you're working on in a group together, so well-organized. And we are working on making it very user-friendly, easy to use, not only to be used by engineers. So here's a short film, one minute. And we try to make it easy as Airbnb. You choose, okay, I want to build on this kind of land. This is the region I want to search in. I want maybe 10 megawatts. I want good solar radiation. And you can search on things and go directly into the location. Then you can start analyzing, go more deep in. What is, what is actually here? What kind of soil quality? How is the steepness around here? And when you have found a place, you can start constructing the solar plant. So here you can choose solar panels and different things and different technologies. And you can easily get exactly how much you are producing. And you can see the solar plant how it will actually look like in real. And we've been talking to our customers. They say that they can do this now about 20 times faster than what they're doing with existing tools. And then we are targeting, there are several software in the solar energy sector. But almost all of them are in the latest stage in operation and maintenance and asset management and some technical designs. So there's not so much competition in the early phase. So, and that's where we are targeting. And although we are not an old company, we are just two and a half year old. We have been working with leading energy companies all around the world. And we're also working closely with several research institutes to make it, to make unique features and unique data and algorithms. And as I said, the solar energy market is large and is growing more than 20% every year. And you can typically divide the market in three. It's a residential rooftop. It's industrial and commercial, typical also rooftop. And the largest segment, utility, which is the ground-mounted solar, about 60% of the market. And this is the market we are operating in. And solar energy is now so cheap that it's even, you can make profit building it here in Finland. And the price, if you build a plant here, is about, I think it's less than half price over the nuclear power plant that was started. So it's a good business to build it now. And our business model is a typical B2B SAS model. We sell to our customers, solid developers on a yearly license based on usage or geography. And then we're also working on testing out product-led growth to, since we see that the product creates a lot of value very fast for single users. It was started by the three people on the left here, John, me and Evan. And we're now building a team of 14 people, very people within energy and software and data science. And our last edition, Evan here, is joining us in January. He's moving from US. He's been the VP of sales in Helioscope, a leading software solar company. So here's a little bit about our journey so far. We started in 2020, right after the corona started. And we had the last finance round in May this year, $3 million. And we are now building the product team and more customers. And we'll have a new round maybe in about 12 months. This is my last slide. So if you're interested joining us on our journey, either as investor or as an employee, if you want to make a great impact in the world, if you want to work on challenging problems and work on one of the most important things to reduce the climate change, please come and join us. Thank you.


My doctor is having a major curve, a bend in spine nearly 73 degree. We noticed this problem sinks back only and we have consulted lot of doctors in Mysore and other cities. Later I came to know that Manipal Hospital is specialised in Spine care. So I consulted Dr. Bijaydar in the month of February. After consultation I am having lot of comfort and conference about the doctor and hospital. So I fixed the operation in Manipal itself on the month of April. But due to this corona and other problem it is shifted to May. I got to know that I have a health issue in my spine. So like I was very tense about my future. I really didn't understand what will happen to my future. But when I got to know that Manipal Hospital is there. Then I met Dr. Bijaydar. He was very friendly and very nice. So he suggested surgery. We had done the operation on May Dhondir. It was under pressure day success. And the support of the staff, doctor and other hospital facilities is everything is very good. And during corona period also they have done thermal screening. Distance maintaining. Every precaution they have taken during surgery also they have done all the precaution. Now I am very happy and now I am comfortable. During the surgery all the staff, nurses and doctors were very kind and friendly to me.  You can consult the Manipal Hospital. You will get the full guarantee about this problem. Thank you.


We resume our story of the Wright Brothers, showing the gold medal awarded to them by the Congress of the United States in 1909. On the reverse is the inscription from the Bible. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. How do you do again? I am Paul Garber, historian emeritus of the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian, and Ramsey Research Associate. You will recall that when we were previously together, I told you of the Wright B-1, which was the first Wright-type airplane made for the United States Navy. I showed you the scale model, explained that the airplane itself had been washed out since 1912 when it sprang into Chesapeake Bay, but one significant part of it has been preserved and that is the engine. I want to show that to you. This is the oldest relic of the United States naval aviation. It is a Wright Brothers engine of 1911, about 35 horsepower. It was installed in the Wright B-1, which was a biplane, had an upper wing and a lower wing, biplane. This is the front end of the engine. This is the rear end. That is, the airplane went that way and on the front end is this water pump driven by these gears. On this plate was mounted the magneto. Unfortunately, that was not preserved, but we're so glad that the engine itself was preserved by the Navy. The magneto was mounted here and from the distributor unit of the magneto, wires extended to these four spark plugs. The magneto could be rocked mechanically by an arm so as to reduce the speed somewhat, but there was no throttle as such. You took off wide open, you flew wide open, you could slack off a little bit by rocking the magneto for coming in for the landing, but then to stop the engine, there was a compression wire that extended right in front of the pilot and to this lever so that as this was moved, it would hold up the exhaust valve and thus stop the compression in the engine. On the back end is this flywheel. On this shaft, there was mounted a double sprocket and from this double sprocket changed extended to the propellers, the two pusher propellers to the port and starboard sides. Those revolved in opposite directions. We are positive that this is the engine of the B-1. In 1957, I was in San Diego and there I met Dale Sigler who told me that he was the Navy's first aviation mechanic and I told him about this engine. He said, if I could see it, I could identify it. So he was brought to Washington, shown the engine, he said, yes, that is the engine of the B-1 because when I was working as a mechanic at the Navy's first air station, which was Greenbury Point, Maryland, across the Severn River from the Naval Academy, I put this patch on the crankcase and showed by his own handiwork he identified this as the actual engine of 1911. This is the oldest relic of United States Naval aviation. On Memorial Day, May 30, 1912, the world was shocked and grieved to learn of the death of Wilbur Wright early that morning. It was known that he had contracted a severe case of typhoid fever but reports led his friends to believe that he was recovering but he suffered a relapse and died peacefully at home in Dayton, Ohio. Persons throughout the world who had known this kind, capable, unassuming, quiet gentleman mourned his loss. This photograph was made in France in 1908 when Wilbur was demonstrating the right aeroplane there and this is a painting made from life in France by the French artist Herve Mathé. It was given to the National Air and Space Museum by Wilbur's close friend and mine, General Frank Pellom and his sister. This is one of the best photographs of Wilbur and is inscribed by him to his friend Leon Boulay who helped arrange for Wilbur's demonstration flights in France. I sort of like this one best. Wilbur had brought this kite from France to the son of Frank Coffin. Frank was an important member of the Wright exhibition team. It looks as though Wilbur and Frank are having more fun than the boy with the kite. The Wright brothers loved children but never married. The other two Wright brothers, Lauren and Ruslan, did have families. Orville was of course the one most saddened for the death of his beloved brother and companion. The marvelous combination of their minds and skills which had brought to the world the first successful powered controlled and manned airplane was severed by Wilbur's death. Orville found some comfort in carrying on the projects upon which Wilbur and he had been engaged. Orville was a superb pilot and the exhilaration of flying helped ease his sorrow. This airplane is one of the Wright racing and exhibition types. It is known as the Roadster, sometimes abbreviated as the R. It is interesting, educational and impressive for us to realize how far the Wright brothers advanced in the design of the airplane.  I'll remind you of the first two, the A which had the elevator in front and the B which had the elevator in the rear. That's the rear view of the B. Now the C was intended for military use and was stronger and therefore somewhat heavier than the B. Its airfoil had less curvature and it could lift heavier loads and climb faster than previous types. The most visible difference in appearance was the use of vertical vanes in front instead of the triangular form as in the B, EX and R. The C had a six-cylinder engine which produced about 50 to 60 horsepower instead of the 35 horsepower in the four-cylinder engines. It was the C which was used by Lieutenants Arnold, Milling and their fellow officer pilots at College Park, Maryland in 1912. Here is a float-equipped version of the C known as the CH, the H designating the hydro-aeroplane type. Note the steps in the bottom of the floats. They break open the suction that often prevents sea planes from getting unstuck from the water. Orville had noticed that in some maneuvers during flights in the CH, the two long parallel floats seem to interfere with the flow of air to the wing. And after further experimenting, he preferred this single float of rectangular shape as you're about to see in the next slide. Early in 1912, the signal corps requested from the Wright Brothers a proposal and bid for a light scout machine. It was to carry one person, have a speed of 65 miles per hour, climb at 800 feet, 1,800 feet in three minutes, have a three-hour gasoline capacity, and be easily transportable by road or rail. For this airplane, the Wright's bid of $6,000 was accepted. The airplane, known as the Wright D, was delivered to College Park that summer. That's Tommy Milling at the controls. The first single-propelled airplane produced by the Wrights was Type E. It had a wingspan of 32 feet and weighed 730 pounds without the pilot. Orville enjoyed flying this one. Type F was made for the Army in 1913 and was the first Wright airplane to have an enclosed fuselage. It was powered with a European Ostrodemler engine of 90 horsepower. Here, a group of soldiers are holding it back while the pilot revs up the engine. In the side view, you can see the Army's number 39 on the rudder. Now, I want to interrupt our alphabetical sequence by inserting an item which will be in chronological order, but in view of the extensive use and importance today of automatic piloting, it is impressive evidence of Orville Wright's foresight and genius. Almost from the very beginning of their experiments, Orville had been interested in developing an apparatus for automatically stabilizing and controlling an airplane. The equipment shown here represents about eight years of development. These pictures were taken in the winter of 1913. A Type C airplane was used. The group witnessing the flights was a committee assigned by the Aeroclub of America to judge the effectiveness of the apparatus. Orville made both straight and circling flights demonstrating the absolute reliability of the system, and as a final proof that his invention was practical, flew toward the judges with his hands raised high above the control levers. As a final gesture, he tapped the rudder control whereupon the airplane commenced a wide turn and continued on that course until Orville took over control and brought the airplane into a landing. For the development of this stabilizer, Orville Wright received the Robert J. Collier Trophy. In May of 1914, he delivered a lecture on the stability of airplanes at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The Smithsonian reprinted that text. In 1913, Orville engaged the services of Grover Learning. He was the first graduate in America of an Aeronautical Engineering course, earning his Master of Arts degree at Columbia University in New York City in 1910. Having participated in the design and development of a glider flying boat as early as April 1909, and having made and flown a flying boat in 1912, he brought to the Wright Company a knowledge of sea planes. Very important for the further developments. This is the Wright Brothers Aero Boat of 1913, the type G. It had bores near the wingtips to aid in making turns on the narrow river. The hull was framed of ash and spruce covered with sheet metal treated to prevent corrosion. The span was 38 feet and net weight 1200 pounds. Its six-cylinder engine was located behind the pilot and passenger who sat side-by-side. In the next type of Aero Boat, the horizontal elevator was raised high above the outriggers to avoid the spray. The engine was in the bow of the hull, the driveshaft extending air between the seats to the double sprocket, by which the change to the propellers were driven. Here are Orville and Oscar Brindley, who was one of the most capable pilots in the Wright organization. Aero Boats were purchased and flown by a number of pilots including Harry Atwood and Ernest Hall, who flew them principally on the rivers and lakes of Ohio. Type H resembled the F and was brought out in 1914. The span was 38 feet and weight 1150 pounds. Its fuselage was of wood covered with canvas. It was rated to carry a useful load of 1,000 pounds and to have a speed of 56 miles per hour. A shorter-winged version of the H was known as the HS. It had a somewhat better speed and rate of climb. Note that by 1915 the form of control had changed from the two lever system to a wheel. This wheel could be turned to right or left so as to balance the airplane. It could be pushed for descent, pulled back to climb, and then on the side of the wheel on the right side was a sector that moved on the shaft, and that was moved up and down to activate the rudder. It was a very good control. In my opinion, it's the best of the seven types of control that were produced during the history of the Wright brothers' experiments. Now, according to a letter written by Orville in 1943, there was no type I produced by the Wright Company. But they had meanwhile licensed the Burgess Company in Massachusetts to make airplanes, and the type I was the Burgess copy of the Wright type B, used notably by Harry Atwood when he made his wonderful flight to the backyard of the White House back there in 1912. Another pilot of the Burgess type was my good friend Roy Waite, who barnstormed in the middle of the Atlantic states. Other forms using the right type of wings were produced by Burgess, who also developed some original designs. This aerobot, you will notice, has a long hull extending from the bell to the rudder. Previous types had the short hull with the outriggers, but this was identified as type J. It was operated on the Hudson River, carrying passengers for hire. Note that it was equipped with hydrofoils beside the hull, both sides, to assist in takeoff. A type K was developed for the Navy in 1915. It was a departure from conventional Wright designs. The propellers were in front of the wing, the lateral balance was affected by ailerons instead of by wing warping, and the rudder was rounded instead of rectangular. The cylindrical floats originally supplied from the Wright factory were unsatisfactory and were replaced by those designed by Captain Halden C. Richardson of the Navy and manufactured by Burgess. They improved takeoff and alighting. The K was the last Wright type to have the bent end propellers, which had been used since 1908. The final design produced by the Wright company was the L of 1915-16. It was a further departure from the original Wright types.  It had ailerons and wheel control. The speed range was 25 to 80 miles per hour and climb about 650 feet per minute. It was intended to meet military requirements for high-speed scouting, but as you see it was very much below the performance of types then being used in the European war. That war had been raging for two years and under the pressure of combat a number of advanced designs had been developed. By the time the L was produced, Orville Wright's active direction of the original Wright company became terminated. With the war in Europe intensifying, some American manufacturers received contracts for military supplies. The financiers and businessmen who had taken over operation of the Wright company arranged a merger with a firm established by Glenn Martin. That's Martin there in the picture with Orville. The resultant organization being known as the Wright-Martin Aircraft Corporation. They were attending an air show there in 1917. One of the principal undertakings of the new corporation was to obtain rights to manufacture the French-Hispanosuit engines, which were urgently needed for British and French fighter airplanes. They obtained the facilities of the former Simplex automobile company, which was up there in New Jersey. And not only did they make good copies of the French engine, but also they improved the manufacturing methods. Early in 1917 Orville served as consulting engineer to a new organization there in Dayton called the Dayton Airplane Company. They established a flying field for training on the outskirts of the city. And they developed a very good trainer, which was called the FS, because it flew successfully first shot. That was a really good ship. It had the Hispano engine of 150 horsepower there in the nose. With the entry of America into the war, April 6, 1917, the Dayton Wright Airplane Company was formed in that city, and Orville Wright became a director. Their first contract was for training planes, but following the decision of an official aircraft board that the British D'Havilland 4 airplane was the type that America should produce in quantity for combat service, the Dayton Wright Airplane Company received a contract to build 4,000 of them. An interior view shows the intensive production underway, and here we see a vast number of fuselages awaiting their wings before shipment overseas. These airplanes were powered with a Liberty engine, that dear thing, and I love so much, 400 horsepower, which was one of the major productions by America in World War I. Here is Orville Wright with the company's chief pilot, Howard Reinhart, following a flight in the D'Havilland 4. This airplane is now preserved by the National Air and Space Museum. A very significant and little-known development in World War I by America was the design and production of guided missiles, and in that project, Orville Wright had a vital part. Working with a group of engineers and manufacturers, including boss Kettering, Virginia's Clark, Harold Moore House and others, Orville participated prominently in the design of the wings, propeller, and other components. The Dayton Wright messenger served as a manned airplane for testing the guided missiles. It had some qualities also as a private sport plane. It tested the De Palma engine. Sometimes these missiles were called aerial torpedoes, but the usual term was the bug. Successful test flights of the unmanned missiles were made, but the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918, terminated the project. Post-war airplanes of the Dayton Wright Company include several modifications of the D'Havillands, such as a company executive airplane and a similar one called the Honeymoon Express. With the closing of the war, the airplane industry became anxious to find ways to utilize its capabilities and resources. The James Gordon Bennett Trophy race had last been held in 1913 when it was won by France, but the war had suspended further contests. In 1920, the competition was reopened with France as the host, and America prepared four fast planes as entries. This one carried the hopes of the Dayton Wright Company. Orville Wright was much interested in it, and apparently made wind tunnel studies of the design. I saw that model up at the Franklin Institute. This type was known as the RB-1 named for Reinhart and Bowman of the Dayton Wright Company, who were here standing beside their entry. It was powered with a six-cylinder, 250-horsepower, whole-scot, or Liberty engine. Its wing could be varied in airfoil curvature. The landing gear was retractable. The cockpit was enclosed. The estimated speed was above 200 miles per hour. But regrettably, in the race, it did not perform at its best. A broken rudder cable necessitated the force landing, and the pilot, Howard Reinhart, realized that it was out of the race. Sainte-Lacroix. In a French Newport, one at an average speed of 168.5 miles per hour. Thus, with its third consecutive win, France kept the trophy. The last airplane to be designed by Orville Wright was named with his initials, the O-W. It was a three- or four-placed cabin plane, here shown during its construction with part of the wing uncovered. The engine was a right hispano of 150 horsepower. Benny Whalen, who had learned to fly at the Wright School with his principal pilot. I again thank him for these photographs as I show them to you. Although no longer engaged in the production of aircraft, Orville retained a keen interest in aviation. Here he is soon after World War I with America's ace of aces Eddie Rickenbacker and Major Rudolph Schroeder, renowned test pilot, who was affectionately called Shorty, being about six feet five. In 1921, Orville watched his sister Catherine Crisson, one of Grover Lohning's ariots, a type which won the Robert J. Collier Trophy for that year. In 1926, Orville was present with that same trophy was presented to Albert Reid for development of a metal propeller. At the left is Godfrey Cabot, then head of the National Aeronautics Association. General James Fache was chief of the Army Air Service next to him. Orville is standing beside Mr. Reid. After the war, the Wright Martin Aircraft Corporation had been reorganized, becoming the Wright Aeronautical Corporation. Some of their most successful engines were designed by Charles Lawrence. Thus the name Wright was often linked with various airplanes which used this corporation's engines. But Orville had nothing to do with their design. Here's the Wright Balanka Airplane, which was such a sensation at the 1925 National Air Races where I photographed it. It was the forerunner of the Balanka Transatlantic Airplanes, which thrilled a sensation-loving public in the latter 1920s, remember the Columbia. The Wright whirlwind engine, which was an outstanding factor in the success of Charles Lindberg's flight from New York to Paris, May 2021, 1927, further perpetuated the name of Wright. Following Lindberg's return to America, and his receptions in Washington, New York, and St. Louis, his next wish was to pay his respects to the surviving brother of the two who first gave powered and controlled wings to mankind. The world's record altitude flight of Apollo's suit check of our Navy on May 8, 1929, when he climbed to 39,140 feet, was in a Wright Apache Airplane produced by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, but powered with an engine made by Pratt & Whitney. A year later, suit check set a new record of 43,166 feet with the same airplane. The Apache was one of the last types to carry the name Wright. Further examples of Orville Wright's continuing interest in aeronautical events and progress is his attendance at the International Aeronautic Conference that was held in 1928 in Washington. He is at the left. The group includes Henry Ford, Charles Lindberg, Bill McCracken, AP Warner, and others. And here is Orville standing beside Porter Abbott, Adams, who was president of the National Aeronautic Association. General Benny Fulloy is there in the great coat, chief of the Army Air Corps at that time. During all this period, Orville Wright maintained his own laboratory in Dayton, conducting experiments in his wind tunnel, developing various mechanisms constantly interested in learning more about the laws of aerodynamics. His final years were comfortable with satisfying memories of worthwhile accomplishments. He had many friends, often inviting them to share his beautiful home, which he called Hawthorne Hill, in the residential part of Dayton. There on January 26, 1948, he decided he should fix the doorbell. Perhaps he overexerted himself. That afternoon, he suffered a heart attack at his laboratory. After a few days in the hospital, he died the evening of January 30, 1948. He is buried in the family plot in Dayton beside his beloved brother Wilbur. Wilbur and Orville Wright received many honors. One of the first was the gold medal from the Aeroclub of France. The Royal Aerodontics Society of Great Britain gave them its gold medal. The Smithsonian Institution gave them the first Langley medal. The gold medal the Aeroclub of America was presented at the White House by William Howard Taft. Congress voted them a gold medal which was given to them in Dayton. There are many memorials to the Wright brothers. The first was placed by the citizens of Kitty Hawk in front of the home of Captain Tate where they assembled their first glider in 1900. At Le Mans, France, near where Wilbur made his astonishing flights in 1908, this monument was erected. And in southern France, where Wilbur continued his flying and instructed pupils in 1909, this monument was dedicated. The United States Navy named its first aircraft tender the USS Wright. At one time, her executive officer was David Clinton Ramsey. I had the privilege of knowing Admiral and Mrs. Ramsey. They established the Ramsey Fund for the National Air and Space Museum. The most famous memorial to the Wright brothers is their Wright Flyer of 1903. To the gratification of all mankind, it has been preserved. It is the most treasured exhibit in the National Air and Space Museum. It is played as shown here in the place of highest honor together with Lindbergh's Spirit of the St. Louis, the X-15 which is the world's most advanced experimental airplane, and the spacecraft Friendship 7 in which John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth. The most impressive monument to the Wright brothers is at the top of Kill Devil Hill, about four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In the crest of this hill they made their glides in 1901, two and three, and from near its base they made their first powered flights. The inscription around the base of this monument is particularly appropriate for us to recall as we come to the conclusion of our story of the Wright brothers. It is in commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, conceived by genius and achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith. I want to wrap it up by emphasizing five points that characterize the Wright brothers' accomplishments. First, they prepared the scientific data necessary for the design of a successful airplane. Second, they built that airplane. Third, they taught themselves to fly it. Fourth, they advanced the development of the airplane through no less than 30 designs as I've shown you. And fifth, they taught others to fly. Surely nowhere else in the history of invention has a basic idea conceived by two men been carried forward so far. The story of Wilbur and Orville Wright.


It's nice to know there were no apparent adverse effects, at even 27 cups of broccoli at a day's worth of these cruciferous phytonutrients. There has to be some point at which it becomes toxic, and indeed there is. Some researchers in Italy tried to push the envelope. They're trying to come up with an IV infusion dose to use as actual chemotherapy, and so wanted to know how high they could go. And yes, there was a level at which you can cause DNA damage at the equivalent of about 100 cups of broccoli a day, or actually just 4 cups of broccoli sprouts. They conclude no sign of DNA lesions could be observed at nutritionally attainable concentrations. But that's not really true.  See, they don't know health nuts like I know some health nuts. Someone came up to me after a lecture a few years ago down in Florida, and said how he heard that wheatgrass juice was so good for you, cleans you out, and so he wanted to try stuffing himself with it. So he told me he calculated the volume of the human digestive tract, all 10 yards or so, and proceeded to drink that amount continuously, quart after quart, until it started coming out the other end. So I asked him, well, what happened? And he looked up at me with an expression I can only describe as rapture, and no joke said, it was volcanic.


customer when we receive the actual box of inventory. But in our case, we're going to imagine we're putting these into the store. And we're going to sell them to all the people that that travel into our store. Just because it's a beautiful location, we bought all that nice furniture. ERP. So then we have an ERP, it's an epiphone. It's an EPR, an epiphone Riviera that we're going to buy. We're going to get five of those at $440. That's $2,200. Man, we're buying a lot of guitars. Hope no one steals them. When they leave, when they leave a metal warehouse, an EPSH, that's going to be a semi hollow body. Okay, so how much of them were how much we're going to buy four of those at 320 that comes out to $1,280. And then we're going to buy an EPSP, which is an which is an epiphone standard pro, we're going to say, just making these up. I'm not an expert on these guitars. I only have why I have two guitars, I guess, but I got my any case, I won't get into that. I don't know. I'm not like an expert here on the types of is what I'm saying. So don't expect like guitar vintage guitar knowledge to be flowing out from a hair. So but any case, you can see that that comes out to the $13,880. Now note that because you see a dollar amount here, you might think that there would be an impact of transactions, something happening to the balance sheet in the income statement. But no, there's not. Because again, the purchase order is just a request. It's not actually tracking anything on a financial transactions because we haven't paid for it yet. And we haven't received the inventory. We could add a message down here, your message to the vendor, please give us the guitars. We really need them. Make sure to put them in the lockbox with the with the delivery person, because we've got some kind of shady characters laying around the streets. They're like in the gutters like right next to where the shipping point is. And then we can attach attachments if we need to. We've got the cancel button down below the clear button. We can print it also preview it within the printing here. So here's the preview process. There is our form. So that looks good. I'm going to close this back out. And then we've got make reoccurring. So if this is going to be something that's happening on a reoccurring basis, we can of course make it reoccurring. And then under the more, we can copy it. So notice that this is some of the purchase orders can get quite complex, especially in a job cost system when you're ordering material. So you might have a situation where you want to copy the purchase order. So you don't have to add all the lines over again. You can you can delete it. You can add audit history. We could save it. And then over here, we've got the save and new save and send, which is probably most likely the case. If we had an email system, which is often the case these days. And we're just going to save and close it. However, let's save and close it. Let's see what happens. K PASO. What has happened? Let's go to the sales on the left hand side to check that out. And then within the sales area, I'll close up the hamburger because it's making me hungry. We're going to go into the all sales transaction tab and we can see here. Hold on. I'm in the wrong area. Sorry about that. Hoping the hamburger expenses were buying stuff. We're not selling stuff that hamburger confused me because I was like, it made me hungry. And then I my mind got clouded. So if I go over here, then here we go. There's the purchase order. Now we could sort this by purchase order if we wanted to just check out the purchases orders is only. And so that's how we can kind of track it internally, even though it's not something that's on the financial statement. It's not going to be in the bills, of course, because it's not going to be a bill, but we can take a look at it and a vendor by vendor basis where you've got this nice little blue thing up there, which is going to give you the purchase order stuff. So there it is. Now after we get the purchase order, if I select the drop down, we can we're going to most likely create a bill from it. So when we get all those guitars in the box, if they're not stolen from us before we can get our hands on them so we can do our business for crying out loud. I mean, what is wrong with people? Well, okay, if we get them, then there's probably going to be a bill inside of it. So within the bill inside of it, we can use this information to create the bill, right? That would be the process, the next process that we can do. So here's the purchase order from the vendor of Epiphone. All right, let's do another one, because this is good times. Rock it and roll it with it with ultra vase another time. We're going to hit the plus button up top another purchase order. This time we're going to say it's a new vendor. So people are coming in there requested Gibson guitars. We're like, I don't know, we never bought from Gibson before, but let's do it. Gibson, we're going to add Gibson USA. And so it's a new vendor I'm going to tab. And all I need is this asterisk one here. But if it was a vendor that I'm purchasing from all the time, I would probably want more information for their contact information because we would like to build a good relationship if that's going to be one of our primary vendors for inventory as opposed to other vendors where we don't really care too much like the telephone company or whatnot. All I need is really the name. But I'm just going to keep it at that. We would of course want the email address if we're going to be sending it to them. What happened? Good son USA tab. Just save it. Okay. And then we would want the email address if we're going to send it to them by email shipping, we're going to give it to our normal shipping. We're not going to ship it to a customer. Did I do a date last time? Did I have the right date? Let's just keep I think it's right 112. We'll keep it at that. And then we're going to say that the shipping is there. No tags. Once again, we're not using a category but items because we're purchasing inventory. Alright, so let's do this one. We're going to say the product. I already set this one up. It's a gi you as a is what we called it. Now we already have the product by the way because we set up the product, even though we didn't set up the vendor, because there was no vendor that we owed money to at that point in time, even though we did have some Gibson's already so we had done business with them before. So I might have misspoke a little bit before. But so there it is. Gibson so Gibson is on the books, we're going to be purchasing that no transactions going to be affected right here. Same kind of setup you can do down below but instead of going save and close this time we're going to go save and new because we're going to do another one before we take a look at the other one. This one will also be a new vendor for us. Although again, I think we already have some stuff from them, but we didn't put the vendor in our center because
