Hey friends, tonight we are hanging out in Hershey, Pennsylvania and we are going to be camping out at the Hershey Park campground. I am so excited. My sister's birthday was the other day and she couldn't come to Florida to visit me so I decided to fly up to Pennsylvania, spend the weekend camping out and celebrating her birthday. So we're going to eat some food, maybe have a campfire and have a beautiful Hershey Park kind of day. Anyways, let's go do this. Since my mom and sister both loved my little staycation at the cabins at Fort Wilderness, I decided to get them a cabin at Hershey Park. Look at this. We got a nice little cabin here. We're right across the street from the park and it even has a little, looks like a little fire pit there. I like it a lot. It's very, it's very pretty. The whole area is pretty down there is the RVs and this is where the cabins are and we're in lucky number cabin 35.  This is very fancy, no dogs though and no smoking. I had a last minute opportunity to do something really cool up here in Hershey and I reached out to my sister and I was just like, hey, Bon, I'm like, since you guys couldn't make it to Florida, would you be interested in coming to Hershey and meeting me just for two days, like I'm here for two days and we could go out to eat and hang out and they said yes.  And now I'll give you the grand tour. Now it's time to head on in and give you the cabin tour and Bonnie and my mom and Ariel are already inside. There they are, sitting on the couch. Very fancy. Look at that. Oh, there's Ariel there. Say hi. Yeah, hi. Say hi. This is a nice little cabin. It's a two bedroom cabin and it sleeps like up to eight. It comes with a sink. It's got a little stove top, a microwave right there, a fridge, plenty of like drawer space too. Oh, silverware, very fancy. Got a little bathroom on this side. I like how everything's wood. I wish they had some decoration though.  I'll show you. Nice little toilet. I don't know what's going on behind the door though. Ah, look at that. It's a little shower they got. And then we've got a fridge right here and then look at it here. You have a bed up there, bunk beds. Very fancy. I like how they have the stairs too. It's long so like it stretches all the way back. And then over here is the, I guess you would call it the main bedroom. It's got a big gigantic queen size bed. It's got a little artwork there or a drawer. And you can look out your window and see other people camping. One thing I do want to point out about the cabin. This is a deluxe one. It's like a two bedroom. They have multiple different versions of them. But all of them don't come with pillows, blankets or anything. You need to bring your own like towels, soap and linens and stuff like that. They're just bare cabins. They're just as is. And I honestly, I was a little shocked by that. I wasn't expecting it but yeah, you need, they have like little mattress protectors but nothing else. I guess I'm spoiled with Disney and expecting to have bed sheets and towels and soap in my resort. But honestly, when you go to a campsite and you rent like a camp or a cabin, normally it doesn't come with bed sheets. So this is such a spontaneously short trip. Like honestly, I think I'm only here for 36 hours, but I'm going to make the most of it. Like we're going to have so much fun. We plan on visiting Hershey Park tomorrow and then I fly home back to Florida tomorrow. But we plan on going to Hershey tomorrow. We're staying in the cabin tonight. And then we also have a hotel room at the Hershey Lodge, which we're going to go check out the Hershey Lodge later on because Bonnie wants to go eat there for her birthday dinner. And they have a couple restaurants in there, but I still want to explore it around a little bit. But it's going to be fun.  Since there's no pillows or blankets, I think we're going to actually head to what big locks or five below and we're going to get some, we're going to get some blankets and pillows, maybe some sleeping bags. I think that would be a little, little cozy. Honestly, I kind of want to sit, I want the top bunk. Look at how cozy this is. I'm the king of the top bunk. It's over Anakin. I have the high ground. This was all completely last minute. I didn't even book my flight or the hotels until yesterday, right before I was supposed to be here. And I wasn't even going to make a video. Like I wasn't going to vlog it or anything like that. But my mom and sister both said, why aren't you filming? And I was like, well, I guess I might as well make a video. I think it's going to be a nice little experience. So I can always look back and remember time I spent with family here at the Hershey campground. What do you guys think of the cabin here? It's so clean. Yeah, it is cute. Cute and cozy and I just, like there's no soap. There's not even a little bar of soap. Well, yeah, you know, it's a little, I mean, it's like camping. I guess we're camping. But we're going to go, where should we go, five below or big lots? What do you think? Big lots.  Don't you use VO5 still or no? Do you? What is it? Swab. Swab? Oh, yeah. There is literally a five below and a big lots, like five minutes down the road. So we're going to go grab some necessities, some VO5, some sleeping bags. And also I want to see about getting some firewood for the fire pit there because I love to sit on the porch, roast some marshmallows and just hang out with the family. I think it'll be a lot of fun. And then we're going to be going to dinner at the Hershey Lodge, which is one of their other resorts that they have here. Right there's our cabin. I can see it right there between those two, two trees there, a couple of two trees. And I'm pretty sure the Hershey Park, like the actual theme park itself is across the street since it's Hershey Park Drive that we're driving on right now. We had five below, TJ Maxx and big lots to choose from, but I'm pretty sure we're going all in on big lots.  So hopefully some sleeping bags might be one of those thousands of items. Looks like we've got a lot of good stuff for Ariel. She loves incanto. So we're going to get our nice little incanto pillow and then a little incanto blanket here. Also found, look at these great deals. Look at these deals over here. I found fitted sheets for only $9.97 on clearance. So that's perfect. I think this is like a full size and a twin size, so these will fit the bunk beds. So we ended up getting one, two, three, four, five, six, seven pillows, three bedsets, one incanto pillow, one incanto bed set, oh blanket, and then a toddler bed set. How much do you guys think all of this costs?  It's actually, honestly, it's going to be a lot cheaper than you would think. Good old big lots. Big lots for the way. Good old big lots. I don't want to forget about the VO5. I like busting my mom because she always used, we used to have VO5 growing up. And I see it all the time in the stores and I just automatically think of my mom whenever I think of VO5. I also decided on grabbing some supplies so we can make s'mores. And I came across the Cream Savers Hard Candy. And I wanted to pick these up. I haven't had these in forever, even though they still made them. It was just about $100. And that's also because we did get like Ariel, some incanto stuff. But most of it was on sale. Like I was really shocked. The complete bed sets, like the queen sets were only $10. $10.  Okay Ariel, look, who's here? Yeah, you like that? Yeah. You like all your incanto stuff? Thank you. Thank you. There's a general store. They have a pool, they have a little playground area and we'll go check those out later on. In fact, I want to go on the general store and we'll see if we can get some firewood because I definitely want to have a nice little fire, listen to some music, and just kind of talk with my mom and sister. What's new? What's been going on, you know? I'm thinking maybe we can bring some of the chairs or maybe that little seating area there down by the fire here. Down at the general store, I'm sure they're going to sell wood. If not, we're going to have to go out and get our own wood. Now that we got all of our shopping done, it's time to head out and explore the resort a little bit, go down to the general store and then get something to eat over at the Hershey Lodge, which is another resort. Just about a minute walk from our cabin is the checking area and they have a general store registration and then they've got a nice little pool there. I want to see what's in the general store. It looks like they do have wood in here along with a lot of other cool merchandise and things that you can buy, some Hershey Park clothing. This actually says Hershey Park Camping Resort, which is really cool. You know it's just starting to sink in right now to me that we are at Hershey Park and we're about, well we're going to make s'mores later on tonight, but this is like the Hershey Chocolate Capital of the World. This is Hershey Park. We're in Hershey and we're making s'mores. Isn't that crazy? There's nothing, there's no other chocolate you use for s'mores other than Hershey. Have you ever used any other chocolate? Grinch and Hawks. You did. You would, wouldn't you? Well that was nice. We ended up getting some firewood and we found long sticks for the s'mores, which is good because we actually got like little like cooking skewers. We got metal skewers from Big Lots because we couldn't find any s'mores sticks. And yeah, now it's time to head on over to the restaurant and get something to eat. And we got our wood for later. So we're definitely having a fire tonight. We're doing it. And we have made it to the Hershey Lodge and I have to say I've never been in any of the resorts at Hershey, but this is beautiful in here. It's very cozy. I like this lobby a lot. They got a nice little big fireplace right here. It's not on at the moment because it's 90 degrees out, but they have a couple of restaurants. They have a nice little chop house up here. It's got a bar and patio on the second floor it looks like. And a little coffee shop here. Oh, and they also have a bear's den because of the Hershey bearers, the hockey team. I actually want to show you that real quick. I love how there's random cutouts of Hershey characters all around the resort.  And there's the bear's den that I was talking about. Here is the bear's den. Look how cool this is. I like it.  I like the menu too. The menu looks really fancy and I like how they have little characters out here. This is all just like a restaurant, but I think it's like a sports restaurant. Well, obviously, you can see you got the hockey memorabilia here for the Hershey bearers. Very cool. And it's kind of like a bear's den. This is clever. Oh, wow, look at this. That is really awesome. Has all of the yearly photos of the teams. Like, oh, this is from 1935 to 1936. The Hershey hockey team right there, look at that. I think it kind of just looks like a regular sports bar in here, but I do like the floor a little bit. That's kind of nifty. And also the bear claws. Instead of going to the bear's den, I think we're going to Reverley. It says, Reverley, yeah, chop house, bar and patio. This seems like the spot to be. Reverley looks like a classic chop house. Lots of good cuts at stake. But the thing that is catching my attention is all of the Hershey's themed drinks and desserts because it's Hershey's chocolate. So they have a big list of different Hershey inspired like cocktails and different types of desserts. So we're definitely going to be checking some of those out. Here is a quick look at the menu for Reverley. They've got a lot of good steak here. Oh, my Lord, a 12 ounce Snake River Farms Wagyu Strip Loin. They've got a filet. They've got a 34 ounce Tomahawk Rib Chop for two. And then they got a double cut bone in Australian lamb chops there. And it looks like it's around $50 to $60 per steak.  They were roasted half chicken over here. These were around $38, $21 for the burger. But like I mentioned, the desserts, I got all the menus here. Look at these desserts. First of all, we have Hershey's signature martinis. Hershey kisses signature chocolate martini. Then they have a chocolate caramel martini, a Reese's peanut butter cup martini, a Twizzler strawberry cream martini. These are all $14. And then take a look at the desserts. They've got a molten chocolate cake, which I'm sure made all of Hershey's, a Reese's peanut butter pie. Oh, man, I got to get that peanut butter pie. But also I'm interested in the Tara Masu. All of this looks amazing. They have soft dinner napkins that smell like chocolate. How crazy is that? It smells like chocolate. Isn't that nuts? I just wanted to get you to smell chocolate. I'm not getting it at all.  I'm also looking at the menu and they have a Hershey's chocolate sauce that you put on your steak. So you can get like a house-made chocolate sauce. How funny that? I feel like we have to try that. We're going to start off with some of those Hershey martinis that I was showing you. Bon Bon ended up getting the Reese's peanut butter cup one and I got the strawberry Twizzler's one. And then the soup of the day is chicken pie. You guys know I'm a big soup guy, but I don't know if you knew this, but my mom is a big soup girl. A big soup girl. I don't even know if that doesn't make sense, but we're going to do that. And then also, I think one of us is definitely going to get that Tomahawk rib chop and split it. I feel like it'll be fun and plus the sides look fantastic. Our martinis have arrived and look at mine, it has a little Twizzler inside of it. I love that. Cheers, Bon. Cheers. Oh, mine didn't clink. There it is. What do you got on your rim? I think it's probably Reese's peanut butter cup. Oh, probably. I'm not the biggest martini fan, but I mean, how could you pass this up? Look at this. Literally, oh my lord, things are starting to ignite in my brain here, but do you remember when you were younger, you used to drink out of the Twizzler? Yeah. Oh my lord. Hold on. You have to take a bite out of this. Yep. Yep. It's not working. Oh no, it's already cut off. It's not working. But do you remember you used to do that? I'm going to try the martini on it as it is, like this. Wow. That is so good. So delicious. It's like drinking a boozy, strawberry milk. Bonnie, try your martini. Now, martinis are all straight alcohol, not just straight liquor, so I'm excited to see you try it. Bonnie doesn't drink that much. Is it peanut buttery? So you get more of like a chocolate essence, but from the ring on the top, like the garb harness, whatever it was called. The rim? The rim, yeah. Yeah. It gives you like that little peanut butter after taste. And now our soup has arrived. It's a chicken pot pie soup with biscuit breadcrumbs. Biscuit breadcrumbs. Yes, I had to say it twice because I am so excited to try it. I ended up getting a little bit of pepper on there. Look at that. Oh, this is going to be much too good. Time to get into this soup here. Wow. Usually, I just say good soup, but this needs more of a description. This tastes so amazing. It tastes just like a pot pie, but with the consistency of like chicken noodle soup. Like it's not too creamy. It's a little brothy. The bread, the biscuit breadcrumbs, I could just eat those. Any extra biscuit breadcrumbs, please. And now the food has arrived, and holy moly, we got a lot. We've got asparagus over here. Look at that asparagus. It looks good. We've got some scallops. We've got some mashed potatoes, some Gouda mac and cheese, the tomahawk, the rib chop right here. Look at how beautiful that is. You can just see the char on there, and then we've got the chocolate sauce. We've got the birch beer sauce, and then we've got the stout sauce over there. And then my mom's got the rib eye. She likes it medium well. She doesn't like a lot of red, but this has a beautiful char on it. I'm not going to lie.  Now you guys know I love rib eye, but I wanted to split this one with Bonnie, but the char on that looks like the next level. Like it looks so good. Here is a look at the sauces too. This is the birch beer demi glaze, and then the chocolate stout sauce right here, and then mom got soy ginger. So there's a lot. There's a lot. There's a lot going on. How about the mac and cheese? Anybody try that yet? Is it good? Very good. Yeah? You like it? Bonnie's eyeing it up. You going to get some? All right. Here we go. Our first cut of the tomahawk. After each, the most amount of meat gets to keep the bone, Bonnie. Sounds good. We'll see how it goes. She's taking that on the plate. The meat is absolutely amazing. Cooked perfectly. Bonnie likes it a little bit towards medium well. I like mine mid-rare. They met in the middle. Excellence. Excellence, I say. Bonnie's going straight to the bone. The bone meat is the best. Oh yeah. Well, that was way better than I expected. The steak was phenomenal. The birch beer demi glaze was my favorite.  The soy ginger was my mom's favorite. Yeah, everything was good. You guys liked the mac and cheese. Oh yeah. It was all good. I really loved it a lot. And now it's time for dessert. We got the molten chocolate cake with marshmallow whipped cream. We got the Reese's peanut butter pie and the crème brûlée cheesecake. Crème brûlée cheesecake. Cheesecake crème brûlée. And the desserts have arrived. First, we've got the Reese's peanut butter cup pie. Look at this bad boy. Doesn't it? And it's got strawberries on it. And then here is the crème brûlée cheesecake. Look at that. And then the molten chocolate cake. Oh, I mean it is Hershey's, so the only thing that doesn't fit the Hershey code is the cheesecake. I'm trying the peanut butter pie first with the whipped cream. Look at that. That peanut butter pie is the best peanut butter pie I've ever had in my life. Wow. How's the cheesecake, Bonnie? Oh, it's incredible. It's literally so light. Crème brûlée. And then you get that crème brûlée topping. Yeah. Oh, so good. Nice. And look at this. When they drop off the bill, they bring over little Hershey kisses. Look at that. Isn't that cute? Yeah, I'm putting you in my purse. Put them in your purse, Mom. Put them all in your purse. Look at it. Put them in your purse. Put them in your purse. Put them in the chocolate scented dinner napkin. Now we are back at our cabin. Dinner was amazing. The steaks were exceptional. I loved the birch beer demi-glace. And then also the soy ginger sauce my mom had with hers was so good. And when it comes down to the desserts, I mean, I was all about the Reese's peanut butter cup pie. It was literally the best peanut butter dessert I've ever had. But my mom and sister both loved the crème brûlée cheesecake. And even though we had those desserts, I still want to start up the fire. I don't know if I want any s'mores, but I might roast a marshmallow just for the fun of it. You know? I just want to sit by the fire and enjoy it. Everyone around us, as we were driving back, I noticed their fires were going. So I was like, oh, I can't wait to get back. And yeah, let's just go do it. Let's go light the fire. Ryan started the fire. There we go. Now it's catching. It's catching good hair. I can smell the fire already. Time to relax and make some s'mores. You know, this is in Florida. This is Pennsylvania, but it is still summer and it is hot out.  And yeah, it's very cozy. I love the smell of the fire, but it's looking good. And we got the little patio here, so we're just going to hang out. Just roast some marshmallows, talk, conversate, listen to music. You know? Things families do.  See you're set. Here's your stick. I like it. I like it. I like it charred. I like my marshmallows like I like my steak. Charred. Charred. I hope you guys like my music. I put on a... Marshmallow. It's a Fort Wilderness camera. I ate my marshmallow. Oh, are you good? I ate my grandma. You know where that's from? Yeah, it's from... Timotoa. Yeah. Yeah, I ate my grandma. We got a little Fort Wilderness on right here. I don't know if you guys can see that, but you can get Disney's Fort Wilderness on loop. Bonnie's got to have hers like perfectly golden. Stay golden, pony boy. Stay golden. We got the s'mores. The s'mores kid over here. Oh, cream savers. I forgot I had these. Well, after sitting outside roasting some marshmallows, listening to some Fort Wilderness music, I think it's time to put the fire down and call it a night and carry it over until tomorrow. We're going to carry the video over to the next day because there's still a lot of fun things I want to show you guys. So I guess we're just going to call it a night. Call it a night for tonight. My mom partied hard last night. Party and hard, I tell you. And good morning from Hershey, Pennsylvania, the sweetest place on earth. I had a beautiful night. I got to smell the fire all night long. It was nice. This whole place just smells so amazing because there's all these different fires that they got going on. And I just love being outdoors. So now I figured we go get ourselves a cup of coffee, then get the day started. We're going to head into Hershey Park today and it's going to be a fun day. I'm very excited. I'm making my way down to the general store to go get some coffee. But I wanted to show you guys the little tent area that they have over here. Some people are camping out right now. You can see tons of tents. They have a little bathroom here with showers and everything like that. And down to the barn is where we're going. We're going to go get some coffee. Man, it is just so beautiful up here, though. Like usually I'm used to waking up to like the hot humidity and stuff. But right now it's gorgeous out. I'm feeling like prime paging Mr. Morrow right now, strolling around here. The general store coffee is so good and it does the trick. I'm definitely waking up already. And I need to wake up. I've been on the go, go, go the past like 48 hours. It's been a lot of fun actually. But like I mentioned, we did this so last second. Like I literally bought the airplane ticket and I think I flew out like 27 hours later. And then I'm flying out tonight. So I literally only been in Hershey for not even 48 hours. I'm not going to be here for 48 hours. I came up and just hung out with my sister and my mom and Ariel. Now we're heading into the park and I have to do some filming in there. And then I'm going to fly home. But it was worth it. I was worth it. I'm sad that I couldn't celebrate my sister's birthday but now I got to. Actually, we really did something fun. I'm going to head back to the cabin and get everyone up and rolling and started with the day. I should have got my mom a coffee but she only likes Dunkin Donuts. So maybe there's a Dunkin's around the area here. You ready to go? We're ready. Are you ready? You ready? Yeah. Ready? I'm ready. Is this? Oh, okay. We're ready. We're ready. The stay at the cabin was beautiful. I really like it a lot here. And I think in the future, if I plan on coming back up and visiting Hershey, I definitely would want to stay here again. I mean, just because I mentioned the price of the cabin, that's literally the price of all the other Hershey hotels here. And I'm telling you, you may get so much more space for your money. Because we're going to go check into the Hershey Lodge now. And you're going to see the size of that room compared to this gigantic cabin. You know what I mean? It was the same price. Now you do have to bring your own Lennons and pillows and stuff like that. But that's how a lot of cabins and campsites are. As we're driving around Hershey PA, look at all of this. Isn't it so cool? The kissing tower, the monorail, and then this is the entrance to Zoo America. We're backstage. This is what separates the park from the zoo. How cool is that? I love how the lamppost or little Hershey kisses. Some of them are wrapped and some of them are unwrapped. Look at that right there. That is so cool. That's how you know you're in Hershey. I'm going to apologize to you guys in advance because I know that this video isn't like my normal format. It's probably a little bit all over the place, but I wasn't really expecting I'm making a video today. But my mom and sister, like I said, both of them are like, why aren't you making a video? And it's always awesome to have these videos to look back on and keep it as a little digital like memory book or something that you can always reference whenever you remember spending time with your family and stuff like that. So I'll make the most of it. But if you want to see a full Hershey Park video, I'll put a link in the description for the video I made just four weeks ago today.  But most of the time, it's going to be spending time hanging out with family. Our first stop isn't going to be inside Hershey Park. It's going to be here at Hershey's Chocolate World because my mom wants to go on the chocolate tour. It's been a while since she's been on that. And plus, Ariel's never been here. It's Ariel's first time. And then we're going to head to Hershey Park over there.  Oh, yeah. Welcome aboard the Hershey's Chocolate Factory Tour.

and watching it and I'll know what I asked you when I have time. Sounds good. Ready to go? Okay, great. I wanted to open this up. Just talking about your background. I know you taught English many years and you know poetry and literature. And you told me in an email that you were a traditionalist. And so maybe you could explain it to me by that. My background in poetry. I became deaf at 10. So I was a good reader before that. I loved books. So my command of English was established. Went back to the same public school where I had gone to before I became sick. After six months, teachers knew me. I tried to help after classes, but I really read my way through. Anyway, coming from Italian family. And my father loved opera. He played the guitar and the flute. And he had gotten me singing Italian songs when I was three, four years old. Everybody said I had a wonderful voice. And Duff, father of that guitar, stopped playing the flute at home. I mean, no music left. I go to school. The books went read. When we had a literary school lesson, you had to read poems. Fascinated. That became my music. Substitute. Rhythm. And rhyme. And I worked with a dictionary all the time. So it came natural in time. When I was 15, I was 16, started to write poetry. And I was in high school. Again, followed my hearing friends to a hearing high school. To-pump-print and then to high school. Literary magazine. Everybody, mm-mm-mm, good, my father, good. Later to Gallaudet, I called. I mean, very active at Gallaudet. I wrote a lot of poems, prizes and signed letters. Later, got a job, teaching English in school for the deaf. Bernard Bragg was one of my students. The New York School for the Deaf of Fanwood. Oh, he fell in love with my way of signing. He was a natural, natural actor. We set up the drama club. That was successful. I never told him anything about acting. He was natural. But he didn't know how to read the play scripts. I told him, if you want to become an actor, you have to know how to read. So we worked, we're after school. Then he later on went to Gallaudet. I got my MA from NYU. Gallaudet asked me to come and teach. Again, I told Bragg at Gallaudet. Call us. We became old friends. Then he started to sign poems more and more and more. Graduated. I stayed at Gallaudet. 1966, National Theatre for the Deaf was established. I asked me to come teach history of theatre and classes in signing poetry for actors. Bragg was there as well. So we worked together. And I thought, oh, say, Miles. Run for it. We got together often, signed in poems. Thinking of parallel, parallel, the English, but ed, eh, yes, sir. Mime. Another person, very important person, my old friend who was with me at Gallaudet. Miles, a corn, old friend. He was with us in the summer school with the National Theatre for the Deaf. So we had a wonderful time. And until the first five years, often took poems on the tour. They would give a pie, a break, or maybe half an hour of poetry. Later on, they stopped out, but went for the first five years. Doc Miles may have wrote some of our poems, and they were used on the stage and carried around the world. Most were taken from books. Depending on audiences, sometimes they often went to his third one school. So, yes. Anyway, that's going on well. During the years I was at both Fanwood and Gallaudet, I taught English, literature, and drama. Actually, I tried with the cast, students, tried my best to follow the printed word, and make them learn to appreciate the beauty of English. Well, it's cool. Black, many, many others, my time at Gallaudet, we almost never, we never heard about yourself until Storky arrived in 1955. So, we were used on a combination of Stantard signs, Spanish spelling on mine, soil, dial, porpoise. We had a monthly literary society at Gallaudet that would give plays, stories, and signs and poetry recitals, and give awards for the best person for the year. Well, that was my involvement with poetry at that time. As the years passed, I got invited to many workshops. I brought Bragg here for six months in 1976, and he was our poet in residence. Made several ones for videotapes to have him here. He was great. Bragg is marvelous to see him sign, straight speed, harmless to be or not to be. You're the poet's legend. Oh, yeah. Some place that should be here in the vote. Oh, yes. If they don't have it, I have home copies. I can make them food. I've been making them. Oh, yes. Yes, mostly, mostly struck food. You use the word mechanical. Yes. Were anybody at that time trying to break away from the English and saying, can we come up with it and answer first? Did anybody think it was possible to sign that way? Aye, yes, sir. It was no. And I said, Stokey arrived. I was there in 1955. He was working on the dictionary first. Then by 1960 he came up with the term aye, yes, sir. So this is 1960. Of a reign from 1940 I was a student at Gallaudet until 1960. We never heard of aye, yes, sir. We were inventing things. Mime, son, mime. Fingerspelling. Did anybody try one person? Master Cohn. One night he popped up in my dorm room. He said, Bob, sit down. I want to show you something. You know, next Friday night we have a lit society meeting. In the poetry signing I'm going to sign the poem. The cyber walkie. I said, I think they will understand you. Watch, sit down and watch. Watch for my mouth again. Watch for my mouth again. I was mesmerized. Finished. I stood up. I said, my God. It's marvelous. Something out of this world. It makes much sense. But we still can connect it. And your creativity was terrific. That was the start. By the way, we tried to influence. Ah. He stood right Master Cohn. Yeah. Yeah. Just like nobody would not label their language. But I'm assuming that when you weren't talking about poetry or English with, you were signing with a telegram. Were you using English sign or were you, like your natural way of signing, later they labeled it ASL? That's your way of signing. You're so good. I like the fingers bother. That was your conversation. I remember my time at Gallaudet. I think we had a total of 300 students. So Gallaudet was very selective and chosen who could come in to prep the cast. And I reading skills. So you see many very little rats. And I stayed like that. And I believe one Storky conceived the time ASL. He was thinking of what we now call ASL. But faster today like modern life on the faster lane. The faster I can send myself sometime who faster evolved. And really you have in your question in 1980s here they had that poetry first of all, that's really the beginning. Oh yes. I remember we were even arguing about the term poetry. Poetry to me included sound. Sound. But then the group deaf poets. Many born deaf. Like whatever lens called I-Rhyme. Just use the word I-Music. I-Music stood up to me who had poetry. And I saw the changes in English American poetry. Oh sir through Shakespeare I had even early 20th century that was the new poetry. Walt Whitman and Free Voice. That was a great thing. They wanted to make poetry hard and clear. A sentimental focus on the main object. I could understand that even though I didn't really like some was great some. But I taught it both. Then Alan Gensburg pop-pop it was like Walt Whitman coming to N-T-I-D. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh the same. Yeah. I forgot the name of the other one Debate Generation I was Italian poetry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Favourite. I run I'm going to call my favourite now. Well before that I really liked Amy. Oh no no no. Emily Dickenson at the at the friends of the new poetry she's amazing her compression she takes so much from the few words arising new metaphors and and her layer of reading is very formal and structured and it's beautiful to follow someone who's worked really hard to get the work before but the images suckle really good but she was amazing so so and I think that Sam Abrams the person who Roger I.T. then Jim Cohen who's in mind coming over to here and I think that he arranged that meeting with the Cohen was one of his students and I was okay right away No No Fascinating. I thought it was great I have a famous poet come to take the time and especially to be with us he was at I.T. for the hearing students but us was great at NTIDS we impressed me maybe suck mind it I asked good questions one traditional poetry we gave him examples I want to see some of a new and when he talked about that poem hour and that image of the eyes and that part came up gave him an interpretation I understand Peter Cook was up himself he begins his own way of signing after that I I really for me what Cook and Dabby Randy Doe with the long poems is more like a Yassal story telling a Yassal poetry in pure form with the sword poems with past part gray ball collet on I can see that most of them important cause I'm wrong now return poems you lose the point sometimes yeah if you have a theme you have to keep that theme in mind and to understanding of the audience sometimes their emotions are lost sometimes yeah I think it was T.S. who said poetry can express itself really understanding yeah so many poems a new poetry even the old poetry some of the old poetry is hard to understand yeah yeah yeah evolving still ongoing process one thing to me when you talk about a deaf poetry you mean poetry created by the deaf person or can include a Yassal poetry that's already published it becomes a rested type well same as rock stars borrow songs from others hmm Rod was on Hammerstein to write songs for plays the actor learns the song and now on the stage the same thing you don't always have to write your own poems hmm it's important to keep poetry moving if you want to sign inspiration when a message or poetry is both strong and high music hmm we use both signs until it's signed by Brian yeah some people open it up to other things it stops being ASL it becomes more something different do you feel like you're using sign language or using yourself to only relate to deafness do you feel that way because you can't do that you have to you have to encourage appreciation of poetry before they really start to write or re-sign I think also going back to Greek times let's for example take for great poet we often had someone use up hmm no poetry became rhythmic hmm even the earlier than I decide in the Greek language is rhythmic they really epic poems hmm well later on hmm poetry really was a let at the beginning before prose so people loved it and they started have traveling singers called rap swords in the Greek it means a singer kept alive the poetry appreciation of poetry was wonderful when all the way through middle ages with friends through by doors somewhere along the line hmm sad to see that today the poetry we say is really rock music music your life your language can read it your language can be composed poetry is not equally with English that was my understanding yes I agree I agree the good way of explaining what happened yes agree that's bad poetry yes belongs to them dead generation hmm nope it was blood other deaf poets would pick it up you talk about teaching poetry and well every student like no I learned that through years 45 years of teaching I tried my best to throw being dramatic and I am acting whatever to try to present the message the meaning of the poem the feeling I'm like that some didn't I tried my best looking for when he wrote his book the medium is the message sad what teachers and people must do is let the student be the poem be the book that I'm involved so that's what's happening now with those deaf new poetry that's a lesson that's good they become at the body poetic and you don't translate the poetry one language spoken become so sometimes for me as an interpreter I don't create my own but I I then I perform it and it's very emotional sometimes I don't understand the point but I get it and then I feel like I experience more than just going like this so the people who created must feel that way too they're wearing poetry clothes right and the best actors, actresses do that out of body experience they become the character not realizing it's not myself anymore it's not a mechanical thing spontaneous boom that's what I try to do teaching poetry and little drama teaching plays that's very important try your best to write interesting poetry appreciation yes that's the problem avoid reading it I know I'm worried about literacy I'm worried about Adam don't understand if it's more interesting than anything you're doing there's a world waiting for us come on what are you going to do they need one people who can light a spark half of it to me half of it to brag half of it to some of my best students they pours on another pass it on two or three two or three I should have gone two more but I was writing two books right top Americans I was setting up two new courses in top studies so doing research what else oh I was one of three assistant editors for the Gallaudet encyclopedias five years of work that was during that period so I sort of got to more but and in the summer I went a few times done for what then the same young boy now he's trying that for him well I finished so what my school did the new poetry they packed what men and others had so I thought that is coming same with the sign that first time I didn't agree but then later on I saw how it's really the the important thing enough to be understood fully but still we can appreciate it it's like painting of Picasso Daly sculptors of Henry Moore time we don't understand but we can appreciate it same thing that feeling yes like I was so used to traditional sign and now it's about 1980 that's the time but at yourself at yourself begins to atom bomb really and I wish I had written it not written but they composed that in poetry form but connected with protest but then they took about five hours things they should have thrown interesting political issues and that's what the beats and erasement done even if I chose to start using like James Boyd was interesting when he was there we asked him to read his poems I said in the sense I told him oh yes, I feel comfortable now I know I would read about I was a poet I had a long fellow had to write poetry smoking a pipe Robert Burns had to go horseback riding you can't see poetry or the poet Emerson needed a rotten apple in his desk who knows how many others they had their cool works not all but some my wife and I love dogs we always had them all together seven and hour time often working the dog so I began thinking of a poem I started before at home at the desk with the pipe I used to smoke before not heavy but I liked smoke like James Boyd but with the dog now working fresh began to come words metaphors go home something like that like that 87 yes, plague came oh yeah, that's right he wasn't as a poet run yeah, else yeah you have a dog typed out into Boston yeah I only whispered the clearer that was the old way of typing you can't do it by the dog I can see that that's very important to my clarity on videotape you can stop pause go slow motion and see better yeah no, interesting how some write for themselves I cook what people think negative for myself some like or some don't they would may entice when I feel the same way fans was interested she was asked asked us to write or chase a poetry writing but I some I couldn't get not clear on the videotape that's good idea I was an interpreter for that he said he had the words all that if I notice something it's like it doesn't flow what do you mean well when I read it it's a good idea so we collaborate but it was interesting we wanted to hear it now Peter and Kenny if you were to I translate his work out of any voices not much I was wondering that's why I think it's wise to do that I say is there help doesn't have to say look around and jump see this jump with his words not many words really he just wants to teach the audience to understand the poem as they go along beginning the poem with more words then by the end the audience understands that's a good idea and Ella said I do it for death people if the interpreter doesn't get the words right or whatever my job not your job doesn't matter it's interesting attitudes about poetry and interpreters and the audience do they want to know oh yes very important I can read and play before you see it on the stage that helps a lot that's why teaching is easy they already have the book they already have the poem the story teaching reinforces that students my students what do they like would often say later on with me them again story or poem yourself you would always switch English for praise for teaching oh yes that's a good question I feel like their buddy category not story telling very popular and deaf world from way back they had cubs for the deaf no TV no cubs for movies cubs for the deaf always for Friday, Saturday nights they would always have business meeting now oh story telling poems yes often performed in Washington they say they soften on second oldest literary you fill it out for you still but not strong but still Washington second so go ask me to go myself will go sometime finish early people you want to add hmm poem or story and count that I told you they're monthly literary meetings they were not meetings they were shows two hours mostly story telling everybody liked that drag was great I did that later on I taught good labor then there so anyway as we students graduated that's the urban school for the deaf we would cub and do the same thing in the school I died fired up because give a story next month it was nice to see that happen later on I left Patricia I doubted I thought that fan would later on Bob later on maybe ten years after I left fan would they still have drama like son lit society maybe once or twice a year that's the friend but by that time they had Captain films Captain TV and today mainstreaming they were lost but that's no way to video they're not you strike society by side that's the car but schools the big thing 94-95 I missed that second one way back but they include the story for only poetry many things mixed bag of food yeah yeah but I doubted that's what I did with my drama I formed it in 1969 we had no buildings of our own I had to use web auditorium anger unlimited one week rehearsal on Friday Saturday so that's a many student organizations RIT can give a full three act play can one half would be stories, poems, dances, skits whatever really like a lit carbon in a school or a car for the daff one act play except for that time NTID was growing 100 students one always was interesting we got out dead and now I have dead beautiful have the money to hire people big big very costumant few others and with three act plays so by 1977 no more drama and that's why we lost something to you're trying to revive now that's good maybe Congress started to give a lot of money for new buildings so we could add students faculty that was the 1960s same time Storky was with the ASL move and that language started to change yes yes yeah well that comes for the daff I would call people because they had come from a school and because that school maybe one third of the teachers graduate from Gallaudet that they would use out of their signs around their signs the cops won cops and firms cops and TV popped up hmm so that's the hope that what Peter Cook was doing seems to be the most active this invitation money's I read about schools publications after he's died one day or three days or one week forward in the residence school something to carry on find or the teachers spied enough to to what he has find and told and I used to go off and oh that's good to know see a idea good that's interesting what you have so you list you can order these videos if you can study them yourself find out if someone has a tradition that I teach and show examples of student work from happy grade if you can include the type by Bragg he tells money stories, poems I'm getting poor stories poor I love the poor stories videotape a casque of Delado I'll be one for not more political but I include that I so do what I oppose what you then make statement get it in print print it in a kind of magazine school magazine for whatever that's right at least you have it there documentation of future research ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I wrote the stories that the movie most made of American other issues but this culture is like death culture in that it tends to be self-receptive death stories talk about death people what happens to them in everyday life like the hotel stories like that one I don't know why it's that kind of thing death ha ha ha things because an oppressed or a minority culture has many things that make them different than the majority so the humor shows their uniqueness same with Native Americans their humor, their stories, their books tend to be Native American they don't write about other things out there they write about their community their culture I've seen parallel so it's interesting that's what I try to do with RIT I taught in RIT from the beginning I was at one class how many different hats I used and then TID teaching best of you English that one class kept one foot in RIT retired from the dead I taught full time everything's fake as being modern poetry I saw I saw 1970s rise of woman studies but African American studies Asian American studies Latin American time for studies so I started characters in RIT but then I would start up a class maybe 20 25 students 5, 6, 7, 8 hearing students in the class out of discussions often we would discuss the deaf experience I was so experienced similar to character in this story novel or play so I picked it up to Pam Connich it was her fun to arrive that's good she's writing the puss with that score very important there very important to her own well, finally through Zone and National Isle and Becky Simmons archivist every W.M. set up a deaf study section 3rd to 4th grade I gave them 70 books very rare maybe half of them out of print video tapes I told them in IT very soon to have them all if not I would be there to give them my make copies and drag with me he's really interesting he wrote only a few poems Zone but as poetry carried on he is so beautiful and he can make the whole range so parents were doubtful how he still put it together and make a so-called star wonderful proud of him to get a decent fan would I told him again I cannot and then later on become colleagues that National did for the deaf to get to get out of the house unless then but after translating plays for Shakespeare theater Irene says in Washington DC he's called a son a master he lives in Maryland still living there today I made for visiting here Tim McCarty say you must love him but he's okay fun I said I know he's one often how active he is translating stuff and he finished writing the book I wanted to see that it's coming out I gave him he asked me how he gave the cyber walkie for the first time I'm a man you better California you know time I said to the entire yeah before your eyes couldn't bother with quiet eyes man he put him in the United States you know about that father wow he had two of us there did that give birth if he's doing it like he said if he's doing it he said that great so that you were here and you were here and in my videos for two hours same room same bookstores see that's great what's the title PBS I got a special program so you never know if it's in the TV guide that'd be great and I had bookstores haha haha hello you have plenty you have to cut cut cut and you and others they will come pay the cook and the other wow wow August yeah great that's great he made some good videotapes yeah good poetry really good yeah and yeah what you call a persona same brag to have that very clear yeah that's good for you to find my yeah that's the goal yeah ok


First question is from Steve Morrison for 16. Can you use map suspension movements in place of focus or trigger sessions mad genius or bad idea? Great idea. It's a great suspension trainers are careful excellent for training the entire body We have a whole program called map suspension. That's completely designed around Suspension trainers are good because they're versatile. They use your body weight there. You can tailor them to your Fitness level they're appropriate for beginners all the way to advance either regress or progress right now Here's the deal. Okay, so if you don't know what a trigger session is I'll give you a quick rundown, right? trigger sessions are low intensity For lack of a better term workouts that you do on your off days, okay?  This is where trigger sessions originated We recommend bands resistance bands because of the versatility and because it's easier for the for you to manage the intensity Than it is with weights Suspension trainers also a great idea in fact you can do this with any form of resistance You can do trigger sessions, but I like suspension trainers too because they're also very versatile So if you're doing a trigger session at work if you're doing it, you know right before lunch It's easy to hook up your suspension trainer to you know Secure surface and do some you know ten minutes of pumping exercises for target area I love this you just gotta be careful not to overdo it right so because you can overdo it because you can make the Suspension trainer very challenging. I mean you can make the exercise. That's why we've made a whole program around it right you can you can design it to be Really really challenging and get really sore from doing too much So that my only thing would be to caution whoever it is is that you just remember when you do trigger sessions The idea is to facilitate recovery. It's not to get a hard workout So you know something light easy and but what's great about the suspension is that you can regress it You can make it really easy and what I love about this is an idea Is it kind of is like so in Matt and maps anabolic? We talk about trigger sessions as the off-day type of stuff and maps performance We talk about mobility work. You kind of get a little hybrid of both It is a little bit of hybrid of both. That's a good point about what I love about spinner You know one of the things that so my sister who works for the company and follows all the programs that we always release And she's going through the suspension trainer and like one of the things she said to me She goes brother. She goes I cannot believe how incredible like my shoulders feel from using the suspension trainer and I was explaining to her that you know the instability that the straps give and The ability for you to go through this really deep range of motion just great for joint support So you get these great mobility benefits plus you get the trigger trigger benefits from it So I love this idea if you have one of our suspension trainers already or the program To use this as like triggers or slash mobility type workouts


What's up guys, we've got another video here for House of Lucid and I'm just gonna be answering a few questions in this little video It's not like the usual ones where I'd answer one particular question. This one is a bit different Because one particular video I posted a few days ago Went sort of a bit crazy. I've got about 2,000 views, which is I think one of the most popular views on my channel so far And I only posted a few days ago So you obviously like this one and there's been a lot of questions commented on it So the video I'm talking about is how to lose induce a lucid dream in nine seconds And I'm talking about the finger-induced lucid dreaming technique. Okay, so you may remember in the video I was talking about this technique where I use the keyboard like this and I sort of showed you how to Practice this finger movement, which you can use in conjunction with a waking juice lucid dream In your REM around about the time when you would have room sleep in the early morning And if you get it right it will induce a lucid dream within about nine seconds So obviously this is a really appealing concept. I'm sure you guys like this idea And so I'm just going to take a look at some of these comments here and Sort of answer them as I go. So the first one is from Andrew boy gaming RO It says there is a question. What do I do if I get exhausted while moving my fingers? Okay, so to answer question Usually you won't because if you remember what you're not you're not actually moving your fingers What you're doing is you're you're you're getting them to the point where they you're thinking about moving them And so the maybe like inside your hand that the tiniest muscles might contract, but they shouldn't really because it's really About the idea of thinking about making the movement. So that shouldn't really be an issue for you If you're getting tired doing this, then you're I think you're doing it wrong so just go back to the basics just obviously set your alarm and Practice the day before you try this practice Moving your fingers and then making the movement smaller and smaller until it gets to the point where You're not actually Moving them at all. Okay. So I hope that helps Next one.  Well for this situation There's not a lot I can advise other than just Keep trying and maybe try the next day Okay, because obviously if you stay awake and you can't go back to sleep that kind of makes it a bit difficult to do it Doesn't know when you there's not much you can do is what I'm saying So you have to be really tired in order for this to work. That's why it's best done Very early in the morning where you're in the stage where you you can wake up But then when you do wake up you feel so tired that you could very easily go back to sleep And that's very important for this technique so Someone else has said can I turn my alarm off and start doing it? Yes, I would advise that what I would also advise to actually set your alarm to go off automatically after 30 seconds or so So it's just long enough to wake you up But not too long that it's gonna keep you know, it's gonna annoy you and make it difficult to stay Making difficult to go back to sleep So I'm pretty sure that's all of the main Questions here someone else has said what happens if I need to get up and pee Obviously if you need to go to the toilet go and use the toilet and then come back And if you find this makes you it keeps you sort of too awake to do this and you can't fall back to sleep easily Then the night before you try this don't drink as much water. Maybe stop drinking water at 9 in the evening and sort of have a drink when you've actually woken up for the day the next day and And next question is What should I do If I don't have an alarm Now this is This is a tricky one because in order to actually wake up at this particular time to target your REM sleep You kind of need to have an alarm Because otherwise your is guesswork you you're gonna wake up whenever you would naturally wake up And it won't be the right time for this technique So I'm pretty sure that it's the last time there's one more question, okay? I mentioned waking up at about four to try this technique And someone has asked what time should I be going to sleep? And I would say roughly 10 or 11 in the evening But you'll sort of get a hang of this as you go on So if you try this for a month for example, and every day you'll I wouldn't recommend it because you'll be you know You'll be over tiring yourself. You'll be experiencing like fatigue and lack of motivation throughout the day But if you try it for a month, maybe sort of every three or four days Naturally, you'll get used to being able to wake up at four and then that day You'll sort of feel tired around the right time that you should be going to sleep So 10 or 11 I found if I'm waking up at four and usually I'll go to sleep at about 10 half 10 12 at the very latest, but I wouldn't recommend that because you're not getting enough sleep So I hope this has answered your questions guys This is my response to the questions on the finger induced lucid dreaming technique So I hope this is up If you're new here, please subscribe and also check out the annotations I've started adding annotations in the corners here for my diluted resource guide Also leave a comment down below and don't forget to subscribe so you can catch the next video


Statistics and Excel. Calories, data, statistics, sample, example. Got data? Let's get stuck into it with statistics and Excel. Well, actually, we're using OneNote here, but we won't be talking about Excel, too. You're not required to, but if you have access to OneNote icon left-hand side, OneNote presentation, 1360, calories, data, statistics, sample, example. First, a word from our sponsor. Yeah, actually, we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers, they don't want to be seen with us.  Like this CPA thinking cap, for example. CPA thinking CAP, you see what we did with the letters. And this CPA thinking cap is not just for CPAs either. Anyone can and should have at least one possibly multiple CPA thinking caps. Why? Because based on our scientific survey of five people, all of whom directly profit from the sale of these CPA thinking caps, wearing this CPA thinking cap without a doubt, according to the survey, increases accounting productivity tenfold. Yeah, at least. Yeah, apparently the hat actually channels like accounting energy from the quantum field ether directly into your head, allowing you to navigate spreadsheets faster. It's kind of like how in like the matrix when Neo learns kung fu, or at least that's what the scientific survey saying. So get one, because the scientific survey participants could really use some extra cash. If you would like a commercial free experience, consider subscribing to our website at accountinginstruction.com or accounting instruction.thinkific.com, full tab. We're also uploading transcripts to one note so you can use the immersive reader tool, change the language if you so choose, either read or listen to the transcripts and multiple different languages using the time stamps to tie in to the video presentation. One note desktop version here data on the left hand side related to counting calories. We have the date on the left, the calorie count on the right. So for example, this first one, 312, 2016 calorie count, 2,990, 312, 16 calorie count, 1777, and then 313, 16 calorie count, 2480. Now we're going to treat this data on the left hand side as though it's the entire population of data so that we can run a few statistical analysis on it and then imagine that we're going to take samples from this data set so that we can then run statistical tests on the sample to see if that information is something that can tell us about the entire population. So similar type of strategy here that we have done when we looked at the heights of individual, but we're going to use a little bit different methods when we get to the sampling. And our goal is to think about the statistics involved as well as how we might use tools such as Excel to help us practice with these concepts. Also just realize that if you want to look up some of these data sets, Kaggle.com, K-A-G-G-L-E.com might be a place to look. Let's start off by taking the information from the entire data set. So this is the population data set. We can calculate the average or mean, which is going to be taking the entire sum of the number, adding up all of the numbers, and then dividing by the count, one, two, three, four, and so on. Or we can use the average function, which is average, and then we just sum up the data or average in this set of data. And that gives us the two, one, eight, nine. We might also take the median, which is picking the one in the middle. So if we listed this from top to bottom, lowest to highest or highest to lowest, and then pick the one in the middle, that would be the median, just like Rockies, the boxers, Coach told them to, when he sees three of them out there, hit the one in the middle, hit the one in the middle. The max is the highest one. So if we were to sort the column over here and pick the highest amount, that's the maximum. We don't even have to sort them though, because we have the formula of equals max to pick the max. And then the men is the lowest one. So we could sort by the lowest one to see the men, or I can simply use my men formula. So we had zero calories out. We were locked in a closet one day or something. I don't know. That's not sure that's exactly healthy. We're fasting.  All right. So then if we were to take this data, and then put it into a histogram, so we just select this entire data set, make a histogram. Here's from the categories of 0 to 370, from 370 to 740, and so on. And it looks like kind of like the middle or biggest area where most of the results are folding in is between 1,850 and 2,220. Now calories is another one of those areas where you would kind of expect, because we tend to stay at a similar weight, a similar range between a few pounds, so that you would expect that our calories would also be within a pretty reasonable range. So this is another one of those areas where you would expect most days your calorie counts are pretty much in a range. And then it would look kind of bell shapes you would think that would be higher or lower on certain days. So we don't have as extensive a data set here as we had with the heights. And therefore we don't have as much detail that you might expect if we had a whole, whole lot of data. But we're going to assume this is basically our entire population. So then we're going to think about how we can create a sample of that population. So if I'm going to create a sample, what I want to do is take these numbers and in essence shuffle them up. I want to shuffle up those numbers. So once again, we're going to use the technique of using the random number generator. So the random number generator is this one just equals random. And if you just put a random number, it's going to use a decimal I've been added the decimal. So it's a pretty long decimal. So all of these randomly generated numbers should be unique. And therefore if we sort them, they will be sorted, you know, in a unit and they'll shuffle the sorting. So if we add the calories, so now I've added all of the calories and these random number generator to it, so that when I sort them, it will give me a random shuffle. And then if I just pick the first 10, for example, I will have picked kind of a random sample of the entire population, that's going to be the idea. Now I would like to do this multiple different times because I want to mirror the concept of running multiple tests, meaning taking a random sample multiple times. So I'm going to try to do it like 75 times. So what I want to do is make I'm going to make 12345 of these random generator tools, meaning I have all of the data in the entire population, and then a random generation column next to it. And then I can sort each of these, and that sorting will shuffle them each time. So I'm going to shuffle each of these each time, which gives me a whole set of the entire population randomly shuffled. And so if I want to then make 75 samples of however many, like 175 times, I can reshuffle these every five times. That's one way I could do it, right? So I could then go over here and say that that we're going to then copy and paste that the same. Well, let's do it this way. First, I can make it even a little bit easier. I can say that these are my samples now. So this is just going to say equals. And I'm pointing then to this cell. So that nine. So this whole column is simply pointing to, and this is 20, that just goes down to 20. So I'm just pointing to this cell, this cell, this cell, this cell, this cell. This is a formula referencing the table. And I just chose 20 out of however long the table goes. So now I've got a count of 20 that were randomly selected out of the entire population. And I have 20 different samples of I mean, I'm sorry, five different samples that are 20 long. Now what I want to have is 75 samples. So what I could do to make this whole table of 75 of them is that I can do five at a time, right? I can copy this this table. I can paste it here. When I paste it here, I'm going to paste it just the values, not the formula, just the values. And then I'll have five randomly generated samples of 20 in the sample. And then I can do it again, right? I can reshuffle these shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, which reshuffles this whole set. And then I can simply copy the these again. And that would be another five going out to 10, right? And then I can do it again. It's kind of tedious. But I can this is a this is a way that you can start to play with larger kind of sets of tests in Excel to see the impact on things like what the histogram is going to look like and whatnot. As you increase the sample size, you can play with these different random number generating techniques, they can help you get a concept of what's going on. So I shuffle them all again. And then I copy these again. And then I paste it over here for the next for the next five and I do that at five at a time until I get to what I wanted, which I think was 75 75 samples, all of which randomly selected randomly selected 20, 20 items. So now we can so now we can imagine our test so so now we can imagine our tests and say, Well, these are the results. If I if I take the average of the sample, I'm going to get my results down here. So so in this case, we had our these each of these columns, the data in the column represents the calorie count for one for one sample. So and then if I take all of those and I take the average of them per column, here are the averages for these 75 samples that we took of 20. Then I might want to put this in a vertical format. So I might take all of these that I did 75 times, put them vertically, which we can do in Excel fairly quickly. So now I've put them in a vertical format. And then I've compared it to what the actual data was, which was 2189. So remember the actual data over here, when we did this on the full data set, we're imagining this is the entire population. It was at the 2189. Then we took 75 examples, 75 samples of 20 each, to see how close that data mirrors what's in the actual total, right? So now I've got the averages for each of those 75. And I can compare that to the actual middle number. And you can see some of them are higher. Some of them are lower. So that's kind of what we would expect. If I take an average of the averages, I come out to the 2210, which is pretty close to the 2189. And then of course, we can build our histograms. So you can start to play with the pictorial representations. Now this one is actually a histogram of the sample of data. So in this case, we took a histogram of this sample 75, where we took 20 of them. So this is plotting out those 75 calorie counts in the buckets of from 538 to 1155 and so on and so forth. The middle point is here at 1773, 22390. We had eight that landed in here. And again, we know the actual for the entire population is at the 2189. So that's for just one sample. And this one is just for one sample. This is 74. So in this case, we took sample 74. All of these numbers for 2020 tests. And it looks like this, obviously, they're not going to look exactly the same because these are two different sets of 20, which were randomly selected from the entire population. And then we took another one. This is this is number 73. So if we take each one of these samples that were randomly selected, we get different, you know, histograms. And if you take larger samples, then then you'll get, you know, different shapes of the histogram rather than taking 20, you can take as many as you want 105 thou, you can you know, you can test it out and excel and play with larger samples and see what the adjustments to these histograms would be. And then this one one is taking a histogram of the averages. So in this case, remember that this column is the average of all of the 75 samples of 20 that we took. And so if we take a histogram of the averages, then here's what that looks like. So so here's from 18979 to 2039. And again, we would expect the middle point here to be at the 2189 because the that's the actual amount, right? And so you see it's starting to look, you know, something more like that, right? And then it's and then it's tapering off and we've got it kind of skewed to the right for this histogram. And we can see that when I take the average again, of all the averages, you know, that middle point is at 2210. So this is just another tool, we do this in Excel as well, if you want to see how to do this in Excel, but you can start to play with these data sets and use your pictorial representations and get to fairly large data sets so you can get an idea of what happens when you're using small numbers versus larger numbers, and then you can and then you can actually build your histograms and charts and whatnot, based on the results, and you're going to get a better, intuitive fuel of what is actually happening in future presentations. Of course, we want we'll get into more specifics on how we can kind of describe some of these things mathematically. But it's quite useful to to play with this stuff and it and Excel, which allows you to do, you know, fairly large amounts of data to see what the impacts would be when you make say histograms, based on those results, and also it's great practice for using Excel.
