Introducing South Hollywood! Are you ready for me, Mr. Taylor? Yes. Now look, Parker, you're doubling the star, and you're supposed to race the train to the crossing. You see, you can't make it, so you jump out of the car before the crash. Yes, sir. I understand. I'll jump just before she crashes. Now watch yourself, Jim, and don't get hurt. We'll be right behind you in a camera car. Pull out when the train starts. Yes, sir. On your toes, everybody! This is it! Picture Capital of the World, we bring you the thrilling true life experiences of those men behind the scenes. Those daring unsung heroes whose breathtaking adventures on the screen have thrilled millions.  Those men who comprise the strangest fraternity on earth. The Suicide Squad. The movie Stuntman. The Daredevil of Hollywood. Ladies and gentlemen, in bringing you this copyrighted radio feature, we are privileged to have as our guest another of the leading stuntman of Hollywood, Gordon Carvath. It is through his cooperation that we are able to reenact some of the highlights of his dangerous profession. The thrilling scenes you are about to hear are his own actual experiences. Gordon Carvath is here in the studio right now, and later in the program we will bring him to the microphone. But first, let us learn something of the work which is a part of his daily routine. Let's turn back the calendar a few years. In Hollywood, MGM is filming a motion picture entitled Strike Me Pink with Eddie Cantor. A sequence in that picture involves some very dangerous work on a fast-moving rollercoaster. Several stuntmen have been called, among whom is Gordon Carvath. The scene is a pleasure pier in Long Beach, California.  Not feeling so good, Hicks. Plenty. Well, what happened yesterday, anyway? Oh, that big guy fell right on top of me in that netball. Didn't hurt so badly then, but now, boy, it's giving me fits. Well, Gordon, why don't you go down and let the doc look it over? Yeah, why don't you? We probably won't be ready to shoot until late this afternoon, anyway. I don't want to hold up production, and maybe it'll be all right after a while. Well, there's the director now. I'll ask him if it's okay. Mr. Black? Mr. Black? Oh, yes. Hello, Bob. What's on your mind? Gordon here is a bum leg. You know, he had a tough fall yesterday. We were trying to get him to get out of the dock. Why certainly, Gordon. Take all the time you need. We won't be ready to shoot here until about 3 o'clock, anyway. Okay, then, Mr. Black. Thanks. I'll be back as soon as the doc's through. Okay, Gordon, but take it easy now. Gordon Carveth goes to the doctor's office, where he finds that one of the bones in his leg is broken. By the time he returns to the location set, his broken leg in a partial cast, further preparations have been made for the making of this most spectacular scene. A dummy representing Eddie Cantor has been attached by piano wire at a dangerous spot on this roller coaster. The story calls for Carveth and two other stuntmen to jump onto the roller coaster, just as it leaves its starting place. As the coaster speeds crazily along, these men at designated spots are instructed to work their way from car to car toward the front section. Timing will be imperative in their attempt to accomplish these maneuvers. A slip on the dipping, swerving treacherous flying cars would mean serious injury or death. Tests have been completed, and now the actual scene is to be photographed. Tenseness builds the air. Seemingly nonchalant, the stuntmen await their final instruction. Well, you've got a time straight now, haven't you boys? By the time you get up into that front car, the train will hit the dummy. It'll probably flop over into the car, but watch out for those piano wires attached to it, or they'll be swinging in all direction and keep your gloves on. Yeah, we're ready. All right, we'll take it. We'll be right behind you in another car with a camera. Okay, operator, shove them off! Camera! Here's the first spot. Let's go! And it is our pleasure to present the courageous young man who, with a broken leg, made that scene and so narrowly escaped death. Gordon Carvette, interviewed by Glenn Hardy. Well, Gordon, that's just about tops anything I ever heard. You certainly had plenty of, well, whatever it takes. Well, I figured I couldn't afford to go to bed with that leg. There was too much money involved. And about that wire, that was a close one, wasn't it? It couldn't have been a lot closer.  It's a funny feeling, all right. Well, what did you finally do about that leg? Well, I didn't do anything. I just kept right on working. The doctor put another cast on it a few days later. Didn't it bother you and your work? Sure, but I got along all right. I guess luck was with you, old man. Well, speaking of luck, some of the other stuntmen told me that ever since that picture, you've been carrying a key ring made out of the wire that almost cost you your life. Yes, I have it here. Here it is. Say, that is a most unusual key ring. It's very handy, I'd say. Yes, it's one of my most prized possessions. Let's hope it always brings you good luck. Tell me, Gordon, what is your favorite stunt? What would you rather do more than anything else? If I have any preference, I guess it's turning over automobiles. Why's that? Get more kick out of it, I guess. But even then, sometimes things go wrong, don't they? Oh, sure. You can never tell when something will happen. But ordinarily, you'll do any kind of a stunt, won't you? Yeah, I've done just about all of them. Well, I'm sure our audience would like to hear about another one of your escapades. Let me see now. I remember one that was kind of funny. I was supposed to be on top of a 45-foot derrick doubling Tom Mix. And according to the story, a bandit was to pull the derrick over with a rope attached to a horse. I was to leave the tower as it fell and jump through the shingle roof of a ranch house. It was in 1926. Fox was making the picture. Everything was about ready. Oh, pardon me, Gordon. I shouldn't have asked you for that story just yet. We'll hear about the derrick stunt in just a moment. But first, if you don't mind, a word from our sponsor. All right, Gordon. Now, what about that 45-foot derrick? Well, it was a western way of the Tony Merino and Tom Mix. They had this derrick mounted on giant rocker so it would tip over easily. There was a big hole in the roof of this ranch house that I was supposed to go through as I fell from the derrick and a platform was built there with hay and mattresses on it. The idea, of course, was to land on that. Gene Ford, the director, was in a hurry to get started. Okay, boys. Come on, let's get going. Is that derrick ready yet? Are you all set, Gordon? Yeah, I've got a couple of boys in there on the platform to catch me if I miss it. If you can manage to get through that hole in the roof, I think everything will be all right. I think I'll make it. All right, Mr. Ford, let's finish with the derrick. All right, here we go.  All right, men. This is it. Now, Tony, when you start pulling on that rope, keep a steady tension until the derrick starts to fall. Yeah, and when she tips over, scram. I haven't lost anything under that, Derrick. Okay. How about it, Gordon? You all set? This is a take. Quiet, please. Ready, everybody. What happened there, Gordon? I left the derrick as it fell. The momentum threw me clear, and I went through the hole in the roof. But I barely made it.  Well, that's what you might call a close shave, eh? A close shave. A close haircut. I imagine that that particular stunt required some very accurate timing. It certainly did. I had to leave that derrick at an exact split second.  Well, how long has it been doing stunts for the movie, Gordon? About 16 years. And all that time, I'd suppose you've been banged up a few times. Oh, I've never been seriously hurt. Had my ankle sprained about 15 times, and I was paralyzed from the waist down twice, but just temporarily. Then a few other minor injuries. Oh, just a few minor injuries, eh? Well, Gordon, I understand you used to be a swimming and diving champion. What about that? That was in 1917. I held the championship for the Central State. Well, just one more question. How do you like the stunt business? I like it fine, as long as I can keep coming home at night. Well, that's a pretty good place to be at the end of one of your busy days. Gordon, we certainly have enjoyed your stories. On behalf of our listeners, I want to thank you sincerely for coming here. I know that everyone joins me in the hope that we may have you on this program again very soon. Goodbye, old chap, and the best of luck.


Welcome to the 2021 North Texas Conference Lady Session. My name is Kim Brannon and I am honored to serve as Conference Lay Leader. I'm thrilled you are here. In the words of the Apostle Paul from Philippians 1, I thank my God every time I remember you in all my prayers for all of you. I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel. I tend to use this verse quite a lot when I speak of the Lady of the North Texas Conference. I am overwhelmed by your work and your faithfulness and your creative energy, especially during the last year. I pray for you all with joy and with gratitude and with the confidence that we are equipped for these days by a God who journeys with us. Speaking of these days, annual conference is not yet gathering in person, so you are either watching this afternoon via the link on the North Texas Conference website or you are tuning in to the Facebook Live premiere of the same video. Either way, thank you for joining me and the other lay members of annual conference for this dedicated time together. If you are on Facebook Live, feel free to post comments or questions and maybe we'll get some chatter going. As was true during last year's virtual Lady Session, this online technology allows today's worship music to come to us from several locations. Music is being provided by First UMC in Wichita Falls. We were joyfully welcomed by them a minute ago. Korean Central UMC of Dallas and First UMC in Paris. We are grateful to each of these worship teams and we're excited to share their gifts with you today. Now it is a tradition in our Lady Sessions to ask those who are attending annual conference for the very first time to please stand so that we can applaud and welcome you. So if this is your first time, you can stand, stand up right where you are just by yourself or in a group and know that there are a lady across from the conference who are giving thanks for you and your willingness to serve. We welcome you to the fun that is annual conference and we look forward to the day in the not so distant future that we can greet each other in person. So in a related tradition, we usually ask those who have attended for 25 years or more to stand. Again, if that describes you, please know that we are grateful for your consistency and deep commitment to the church and to the conference and to the hard work of always making us better. Let's take care of a few business and calendar details. The annual conference opening worship service with Bishop Gregory Palmer preaching will be live streamed and on Facebook this evening, Sunday June 13th at seven o'clock. From the sanctuary of St. Andrew UMC in Plano. The service of ordination and commissioning with Bishop Michael McKee preaching will be live streamed and on Facebook tomorrow, tomorrow evening Monday June 14th at seven. Also from the beautiful sanctuary of St. Andrew. Then business sessions of annual conference will be taking place on Monday and Tuesday 9 a.m. to 3 live streamed and on Facebook. Look for a detailed schedule in the conference workbook which you may view and download on the North Texas Conference website. We'll be voting on some legislation during this time. Voting instructions are being provided separately. So some of you keep up with church news more than others. So let's make sure we're all on the same page. As you remember the 2020 general conference was going to work on some legislation related to a proposal that would eventually could have split the denomination. So due to the pandemic the general conference had been rescheduled for the summer in Minneapolis but it has been pushed back again to August September of next year 2022. So there is no legislation from general conference for us to vote on this week because general conference has not happened and so we will wait for another year. On a related note as in just as an FYI the jurisdictional conference was also postponed. So while there are several bishops scheduled to retire there are no changes to report as of yet. Jurisdictional conference is now scheduled for November of 2022. One other item of business in your conference workbook you will find the list of reports on the preliminary consent calendar. This is something we do every year but just as a reminder or for those if it's your first time this consent calendar is being presented to you today so that on Tuesday at annual conference you'll be prepared to vote on these items as one single package. Without question or discussion if a report is on the consent calendar that doesn't mean it's not important or that it doesn't need approval but we will put we put these reports on the consent calendar to help us use our limited time in the best way. The items on the consent calendar have no financial implications that have not already been included in the new budget and they do not deal with conference rules. There is also a process to remove an item from the consent calendar if needed for further discussion. That process is outlined in your conference workbook. So with that said the consent calendar is now properly before you and we will vote on it during annual conference on Tuesday. Before we continue with the rest of our lady session I want to welcome my friend Susan Anderson the North Texas Conference Director of Lay Servant Ministries. Susan will be recognizing a member of the lady who has completed a significant certification process during the last year of pandemic downtime. I'll let Susan tell you all about it. Good afternoon lay members of the North Texas annual conference. I'm Susan Anderson the North Texas Conference Director of Lay Servant Ministries. For those of you who may be wondering what is Lay Servant Ministries I'll give you a short answer. It is a long-standing program of the United Methodist Church that equips and encourages the laity to serve in a variety of roles in partnership with pastors within their church and the community in ministries of leading caring and communicating. Each role of Lay Servant Ministries falls into three different categories. Each having its own requirements. We have certified lay servants, certified lay speakers and certified lay ministers. It is the certified lay minister that we want to celebrate today. This is the hardest role to accomplish and we have very few, only a handful in the North Texas Conference. Let me tell you about Sarah Dogue. Sarah is a long-time member of Titty Chapel UMC in Winsborough, Texas. She has been a certified lay speaker for quite some time but she decided to take advantage of her downtime during the pandemic to work on becoming a certified lay minister.  Already being a lay speaker she then had to get the approval of her pastor. Titty Chapel being a small church, it has many pastoral changes. Her desire is not to replace the pastor but to be better equipped to help the pastor and church by becoming a certified lay minister. So during this pandemic Sarah first got the recommendation of her pastor and church council then she completed the track of study prescribed by the Board of Discipleship, the four modules being call In Covenant for Ministry, Practice of Ministry, Organization of Ministry and Connection for Ministry. After completing that and appropriate screening and assessment including a psych evaluation she had to get the approval of her district superintendent and then she had to be interviewed by the district committee on ordained ministry and the final step approval of the conference committee on lay servant ministries. So congratulations to Sarah Doak, our newest North Texas conference certified lay minister. Well done Sarah. Well musical lament from Korean Central. I would like to thank them for sharing that gift of music as we prepare our hearts for a moment of remembrance. It's our tradition to remember past lay members of annual conference as well as those who were certified lay servants, speakers and ministers who have passed away since our last annual conference. As has been our tradition I'd like to welcome the Youth of the North Texas Conference Council of Youth Ministries to lead us in this memorial. We thank God for the lives of the servants listed and the others named in our hearts. Eternal God we praise you for the great company of those who have finished their course in faith and now rest from their labor. We praise you for those so dear to us whom we name in our hearts before you especially those we named today whom you have graciously received into your presence. To all of these grant your peace let perpetual light shine upon them and help us so to believe where we have not seen that your presence may lead us through our years and bring us at last with them into the joy of your home not made us with hands but eternal in the heavens through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. One of us all your love never ends when all else fails you are still God. We pray to you for one another in our need and for all anywhere who mourn with us this day to those who doubt give light to those who are weak strength to all who have sinned mercy to all who sorrow your peace keep true in us the love with which we hold one another and all our ways we trust you and to you with your church on earth and in heaven we offer glory and honor now and forever amen. As we remember those who have passed away this year we also honor the work that continues day in and day out by dedicated lay members. The Harry Denman evangelism award recognizes clergy youth and lay persons for outstanding service in evangelism. Those eligible for this prestigious award practice the great commission and faithfully carry out the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The award is named for the late Dr. Harry Denman, distinguished lay evangelist who Billy Graham called my mentor in evangelism. Dr. Denman felt it was the business of every Christian to be an evangelist. Multiple award nominations were submitted this year and the winner of the youth award was selected by the conference council of youth ministries. The winner of the lay award was selected by the conference board of lady. We begin with the youth award. My name is Emma Williams and I am the faith formation director in the Center for Leadership Development and today I get the honor of presenting the Harry Denman award for evangelism for youth to Haven Emory. Haven is a senior at Lovers Lane UNC in Dallas and she lives out her love for God and love for others through service and invitation and all that she does. She models Christ example of love by serving others. People's lives have been changed by her care her compassion and her willingness to stand up for what is right. Haven serves in as many places as she can as she has expressed her experience of the love of God in powerful ways while doing so. She volunteers at the Scottish Wright Hospital and the Dyslexia Center and the Orthopedic Inpatient Unit welcoming children and making them feel at ease and playing with them while they're waiting for treatment. Haven serves over 150 hours each year with the Lovers Lane UMC raise of light respite program offering individualized care and attention to children with special needs and their siblings. She leads within her church by helping to coordinate missions, worship, student activity, VBS, confirmation, Sunday school and small groups. She's also a leader in the Conference Council on Youth Ministries and served as the worship chair during the 2020-2021 year and as a speaker for Midwinter 2021. Haven lives in two Lovers Lane Ministries mission of loving all people into relationship with Jesus Christ. Another example of Haven's commitment to showing God's love and service to others is through a volunteer club that she founded at her school the school for the talented and gifted at town view called Students Embodying and Defining Service. This club encourages all students no matter their faith or background to learn and serve and find ways to love others through service. Haven recognizes that our need to love and serve others comes from God and helps others see that too. She invites her service group to join with the missions of her church and has started a morning devotion time at school to encourage her friends and classmates in their faith. She serves as a bridge builder between people who come from all different walks of life, welcoming new people into youth group and sharing her compassionate heart with other students. Haven is a passion for Jesus that has become a passion for others to know Jesus as well. It is the epitome of what it means to be the good news of Jesus Christ to others. Congratulations, Haven. We're so proud of you. I nominated Haven for the Harry Denman Evangelism Award because Haven lives out her love for God and love for others through every aspect of her life. And she invites others to know and experience that same transformative love of Jesus Christ. One of the ways I have witnessed Haven live it out in her life is through her school. Haven founded a volunteer club at TAG, the school for the talented and gifted at Townview in Dallas, called Students Embodying and Defining Service or also known as SEEDS. This club encourages all students no matter their faith or background to learn to serve and to find ways to love others through service. And Haven recognizes that our need to serve others and to love people comes from God. And she helps others see that too. It's a powerful way for people to come to know Christ by serving and experiencing God's grace by looking into the eyes of God's children. She's planting seeds of faith. Haven shares her faith with every aspect of her life, her compassion for others at school, her caring attitude at work, in the words of the songs that she writes, in the ways that she leads our church in conference and community. In a line from one of her latest songs, Find Faith, she sings, you call me to be more than I am. God is definitely calling and working through you Haven. Thank you for setting an example for all of us by the ways that you love and serve, the things that you say and sing, the ways that you lean into and live out God's grace. The Denman Award for Adult Lady goes to Dana Phillips. Dana is a member of Treats United Methodist Church and has been able to bring people into life-transforming relationships with Jesus Christ through her remarkable lay ministry there. Dana reflects innovative evangelism in three ways really. First, she uses social media to reach others during COVID-19 social distancing. Dana has a robust following on Facebook where she posts scriptures, devotions and testimony daily. She's also conducted long-term Bible studies to groups spanning large geographical areas thanks to the use of technology. The second way Dana shares the good news in innovative ways is through her promotion of remote digital worship. Dana and her husband Neil have lived in several parts of the country and before settling here in North Texas and because of this she has a broad network across several states. Dana has introduced many people to the digital resources available through her home church. Followers in faraway states like Minnesota and New York worship exclusively at Treats via the internet because of Dana. And finally Dana has continued a ministry of evangelism by helping to launch and grow small life groups at Treats. She has assisted in the planning of the groups and the development of a leader guide and she has personally led multiple groups and developed new leaders to start their own life groups. Treats senior pastor Reverend Daniel Humbert sums up her ministry by saying Dana has the unique ability to share her faith with people in personal, relatable, and relevant ways. She can do it in such a way as to encourage a person and uplift their soul. I have been particularly impressed with the frequency capacity with which she has used digital technology throughout the pandemic to introduce people to Jesus and invite people into a growing relationship with him. I really believe that those of us who have known how much God has done for us have not just a responsibility but a real desire to share that with other people. Okay so basically I am an older senior boomer who loves social media so I love Facebook, I love Zoom, I love Instagram. You know I love all that stuff because I'm a real social person and way before COVID hit I saw the opportunity for Facebook especially to be a place where you know I can talk to people who aren't necessarily attached to a church who aren't going to a church and one of the first things I did way back like five six years ago as we did a Bible study in a Facebook group and it was a blast. We had posts, we had conversations, we had comments from people all over the world. I was just doing it because out of an outflow and then I started saying God what do you want me to do intentionally about it and so in our life group when COVID hit and we did it on Zoom I also organized some other Zoom prayer meetings for people not just from our church but you know from all over the country and we had prayer meetings on on Zoom and and I just began to say how do you want to use me God in this. Then as our church started doing more stuff digitally I got really excited because I was able to share it you know and honestly the production value was really great the message was really great but there were people who were really especially during COVID really hungry to have that connection with God and I've seen people who just because of our little groups together have been baptized people who have tied to never tied before they never gave to the church before some people this was like an amazing thing this one lady said I have never read the Bible where do I start and at what started to be kind of a reaching out gave so much fruit that I thought I need to keep doing this so watching people grow in their relationship with Christ I decided to be much more intentional about doing more on Facebook doing more in Facebook groups doing more on Zoom and small group meetings with folks. Continue to be inspired by folks like Dana Phillips and the great work going on in and out of our churches after we hear from Susan our time together we'll close with one final bit of praise music from first UMC Paris up in the East District so sit back and be blessed and prepare your hearts and minds for the Holy Conferencing to come at the 2021 North Texas annual conference so we pour out our praise we pour out our praise it's your prayer enough so we


Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be opening the Artec Universal Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard. If this is your first time or pre-visit, thank you for your support on this channel. I'm always trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more review videos there will be links in the description box below. So I have the wireless Bluetooth keyboard Artec right here and it's supposed to have seven different colors. So we're going to open this up and we're going to take a look and we'll even try to you know connect it to my Chromebook using the Bluetooth option and see how easy or difficult to connect it. So the keyboard looks like this and this is a very simple packaging. It's not like you know too colorful and you can see that some of the features right here. So there's a light, slim, portable, seven-color backlit and universal and on top of the keyboard our packaging can see that certified, frustration-free packaging. So that means we shouldn't have any trouble opening it and let's you know try and see if that's the case. So I'll just put it like this and let's see if this comes off. Okay so it looks like it and yes it is very easy to open and I'm just going to you know take out the keyboard and here we have some materials which we'll take a look and actually there's also cable and we'll just take a look at that too. So let me just you know put these things away. So the first thing I'm noticing that this is actually not USB-C so this is you know micro USB which is okay but you know these days everything should be USB-C. So that's something to remember we have a micro USB-C cable and then here's just like you know kind of good or bad asking to review I'll just set it aside and then who are here we have a small brochure or manual and it's just you know has different instructions so I'll just put it aside. Now let's look at the keyboard itself so it has a plastic you know cover so we're just going to remove it.  So here we have the keyboard and let me open the Bluetooth setting for Chromebook so which is going to be right here and I turned on the Bluetooth and I'm just going to click here the button connect okay so there should be a Bluetooth you know detection right here and let me just see if we have yes actually I can see that there's a Bluetooth 3.0 keyboard so I'm just going to connect it to the Bluetooth and here I'm getting connected to Bluetooth device and looks like you know this has been already paired and I'm just going to quickly you know type in here and see that you know if it works so H okay so looks like it's just working fine I'll just you know bring the tablet or laptop slightly closer so you can see that you know this is connecting so you can see that you know I'm typing it in here and this is actually writing here so I'm just going to bring it a little closer so you can see okay so if you take a look on the computer monitor or the computer screen so I'll just like you know type in my name and it looks like you know it's connecting it's working fine and I'm using the arrow button and just hit enter okay so the connection was just fine I'll just put it aside a little bit and everything is looks okay so it just like you know it connected instantly there's no issue no nothing and as you can see it looks like the default you know backlit is blue so in order to change that the function button and there should be a you know backlit button right here hold both this button this button together and then do page up and down and actually yes now I can see the red so if you can you know if you're taking a look at it is you can see that's changing to red and now I can see all of the colors so it it's working and it's kind it's going to be kind of hard to decide which backlit you want so I think I'm going to just try like you know one of them every week so the red kind of looks nice too so the purpose of this to the function and light button I think it's just like you know increasing your bluetooth on higher lower and off so it's like on higher off on higher off and when you're pressing all these three simultaneously that's when you get the option to change it to different colors I think that's how it works and let me just type in the keyboard just how it feels okay so I'm just going to put the mouse or the cursor in here and now actually it's fairly comfortable you know I cannot complain this this fairly you know soft touch and it's very easy to type and it feels good in your finger this is like 6 by 10 inch so this is kind of close to the screen size of my tablet as you can see they're very identical and it's like my tablet is close to 10 10 inch so this is 6 by 10 inch and there are also function buttons right here and it looks like a full-size keyboard and you know this should connect to any devices for example including your cell phone or windows computer and chrome computer or chromebooks which I have it right here so there shouldn't be any problem so this is going to be very handy when you travel but definitely you're going to need an external mouse because this is just a keyboard so you need to have a mouse if you don't have a touchscreen like this but in terms of like you know the pricing and everything this looks like a quality product and this is one of the most popular backlit bluetooth keyboards on amazon and this is not a paid or affiliated review all my reviews are non-affiliated unbased and honest there's no affiliated links no nothing so I'm happy with the product and I'm going to be using this mainly you know when I'm going somewhere because I don't think I need to use this at home because I have my full-size big keyboard but definitely now this is going to come in handy if you're out or if you're going somewhere and you can just like you know put it in your bag or backpack or in your carry-on bag so definitely this is a travel friendly keyboard so that's all for today thank you for watching this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you


I once again welcome you all to MSB lecture series on interpretive spectroscopy. So I've been discussing about representative examples from each type of organic molecule. So let me continue from where I had stopped. So let me look into now mass spectrophilic aliphatic ketones. So the major fragmentation involves the cleavage of CC bond adjacent to the oxygen atom. For example, if you see here, this is the possible site and this is the possible site adjacent to CC bond adjacent to oxygen atom, molecular ion peaks will be obtained readily in this case. If our group is more than three carbon atoms, longer chain, then macular ferrity rearrangement takes place. So what is this rearrangement, we shall look into it. First as I mentioned, so the cleavage occurs on CC bonds next to oxygen. That means these two are quite possible sites for fragmentation and whether this happens or this happens here or radical would come out and we get acelium ion here. If our group is more than three carbon atoms, that means if you have a longer chain on either side, then macular ferrity rearrangement takes place. What is this one? So here you consider this aliphatic ketone here. This is where the cleavage happens and another possibility is this one and then that leads to the elimination of a ethylene group, ethylene moiety and then the next step is again cleavage can happen here and also cleavage can happen here. That leads to another ethylene and here of course the substituted one. Now we get ethylene and that results in the formation of this unsaturated alcohol radical cation. So this is the macular ferrity rearrangement. This is another possibility provided we have a group which has more than three or carbon atoms. Otherwise in simple cases we have two or less carbon atoms on either side of carbonyl group acilium ion formation takes place invariably in aliphatic ketones. Now let us look into the mass spectrum of four non-n. As I mentioned here, these are the possible sides of cleavage. So now this is the parent ion peak at 142 and due to the loss of a 43 fragment that is what we get is C3 H7 here, H3 is lost here and we get a peak at 99 and then due to the loss of C5 H11 radical 71 unit mass then we get 71 here and also if you lose from here C2 H4 we get a 581. So essentially one can look into all possible fragmentations and we should be familiar with the interpretation in this fashion. So now work out for this also this is not given and just see the difference between these and try to work out what this fragment is due to. So now let us look into mass spectra of cyclic ketones. Cyclic ketones usually undergo beta cleavage. So later hydrogen rearrangement and ethyl radical loss can also happen. Initially what happens beta cleavage happens so that means here cleavage takes place to give a species of this type and then later what would happen hydrogen rearrangement happens hydrogen rearrangement happens so that is the reason this is shown here and then it can form something like this and now again cleavage can happen here to give ethyl radical and then this species here. So these are the possibilities and major fragments one can see or anticipate in the mass spectra of cyclic ketones. You can see here one such example has shown here this is cyclopentanone here mass unit atomic weight is molecular weight is 84 and initially it loses ethyl radical that is 29 to give 55 and then 55 is 84 minus 29 this is what I am referring to and this is initially obtained and then these fragments what happens hydrogen rearrangement happens to give eventually these species. This species although already I have shown in the reaction scheme find out the m by z and then interpret these two as well and what kind of loss in curse here also you can clearly see from this spectrum. So now let us look into the mass spectra of aromatic ketones and here the interesting is molecular ion peak will be obtained readily and again cleavage and macular fruity rearrangement leads to stable ions and provided we have longer carbon chain on the carbonyl group. The aliphatic group if it is longer then you can also see this rearrangement here for example we are considering here this species here in this one two possibilities are there can cleavage can happen here cleavage can happen here you can get this species with m by z value of 105 or you can get m by z value of 120. So that means now we can see 148 is the molecular weight and due to the loss of ethylene you get 120 due to the loss of C3H7 radical you get 105 here. So these two are readily identified from the mass spectrum this is the most common way of fragmentation in case of aromatic ketones. So now let us look into the mass spectra of aliphatic aldehydes and here molecular ion peak is quite detectable but often difficult to see and hydrocarbon pattern is more dominant with longer chain molecules that means when you have a longer chain aldehydes the spectrum resembles that of a longer chain hydrocarbon saturated hydrocarbon and what are the fragments one can see are listed here you can see m minus one peak that is due to the hydrogen loss or m minus 18 due to the dehydration that means due to the elimination of a molecule of water and then one can also see m minus 28 ethylene elimination this is water elimination and this is hydrogen loss and then m minus 43 is due to the loss of CH2CHO or CH2CHOH and then at 44 also one can see CH2CHOH some of these loss can show m minus 43 are more here. So a typical mass spectrum of known and all is shown here you can see it is a longer chain is there it can once the fragment comes out it looks like almost similar to those of long chain saturated hydrocarbons here this is the base peak 142 and then loss of water one can see here loss of ethylene one can see here or loss of CH7H14 one can see here or CH7H15 one can see here so here the loss of 43 and here loss of 44 not loss of see CH7H14 this is the peak due to CH7H14 and peak due to CH7H15 loss of either minus 43 so something like this or this one 44 so either due to the loss of CH2CHO this is 43 or CH2CHOH44 so this peaks 44 in this one and then this one here. Similarly again you can also see at 44 here it almost like a base peak here CH2CHOH so now the mass spectra of aromatic aldehydes we can see and here large m biradical peaks are characteristic of aromatic aldehydes m minus one peak may be larger than m here so molecular ion peak is detectable but often difficult to see again hydrocarbon pattern is more dominant with longer chain molecules then here m minus one peak which can eliminate CO2 give say phenyl radical which in turn eliminate CH2CH2 to give C4H3 so that means seeing this kind of quite common and also elimination of CO is quite common and also one can also see due to phenyl radicals which again eliminates ethylene group to form C4H3 plus cation. So now let us look into mass spectra of carboxylic acids electron impact of carboxylic acid produces molecular ions of moderate abundance so ions corresponding to either COOH plus that is m by z is 45 or the loss of radical like COOH minus m minus 45 are usually observed in case of carboxylic acids and OH and H2O losses are more common from aromatic acids here. When conditions are again favorable carboxylic acids maclaferty rearrangement gives abundant fragments here. So now let us look into the mass spectra of carboxylic yesters and here the fragmentation roots are characteristic of both ethers and ketones whatever we come across in case of ethers as well as ketones can be anticipated together in the mass spectra of carboxylic yesters fragmentation roots are characteristic of both ethers and ketones here and molecular ions are often very weak and the characteristic ions are formation of RCO acylium ion at m by z equals m by z that is m minus 31 if R equals CH3 if you are considering R equals CH3 and then CH2 CH2 COOR formation at m by z equals 87 again if R is a methyl if it is a methyl yester and then other possibility is this one m by z equals 74 again for methyl yesters this is CH2 CHCO CH3 and OH again it is a methyl yester. So when we have a methyl yester this is the typical characteristics of the ions during the fragmentation okay one is acylium or it can form something like this again with methyl yester if it is and then because methyl is shown here and again if it is a methyl yester here this is a 74 one. So now let us look into methyl actonate RCO m minus 31 you can see 58 is here and then 58 158 is there 127 31 so you can see here acylium ion formation is there and then C5 H11 loss then 87 it comes here due to this one and then 74 is there again if it is for the methoxy so C6 H12 loss is there and you get this one so that you can readily identify from these things and also of course at 59 this is the one we have seen. Now you can also make an attempt to see what is this one what is this one as well and what is the loss approximately so that gives some idea about interpretation. Now let us look into aromatic estus here acetate groups are readily eliminated neutral ketones and acylium ions are often observed here and then a typical example is considered here nitro phenyl acetate in case of nitro phenyl acetate mass is 181 and first we will see NO2 loss to give that is m minus 42 that is at 139 and then we will see at 123 and then we are also seeing something at O this is due to this one here and this is another one one can see. So this is the typical fragmentation of aromatic estus here so in aromatic estus the possible cleavage site initially is this one the OC bond next to carbonyl group. So now let us look into aliphatic remains fragmentation occurs predominantly by radical cleavage to generate iminium ions here and you consider again the possible cleavage site is this one and R would come out and then we get something like this this is iminium ions so this is the characteristic of aliphatic remains fragmentation and then cleavage can be at R1 R2 loss of the largest branch is preferred if the branch is if the aliphatic branch is the largest one the one that is very largest is the preferred site for cleavage of radical cleavage the product ion undergoes further fragmentation involving hydrogen migration to generate a second iminium ion species for example this is the first one and first one what happens if further undergoes through hydrogen migration to give a ethylene radical ethylene cation and then this gives the second iminium ion. So this is the typical fragmentation of aliphatic remains what would happen to aromatic remains yes I will show you here these are the aliphatic remains these are the possible sites and this one for hydrogen migration and to generate second iminium and then you can see here the molecular weight is 101 first it loses methyl groups to give 86 and then it can also lose an ethylene radical to form 72 here and now you work out what is the m by z corresponds to which species you work out for 58 and also here again between them there is a 44 is the probably CH2 goes up you can just look into it for example if you look into 72 minus 58. So this is also 14 that means here 114 m minus 14 and m minus 14 is there then you identify those from these fragments that I have already shown in these reaction schemes. So now let us look into aromatic remains intense molecular ion peak is observed that is very essential loss of one of the amine hydrogen leads to the formation of m minus 1 peaks loss of a neutral HCN group followed by loss of a H results in the prominent peak of m by z equals 66 that is due to C5H6 radical or 65 is C5H5 radical. So these are the possible cleavage sites and this can also possible to give initially m minus 1 and then a typical aniline spectrum is shown here you can see 93 is the weight but first it loses 1 to give 92 and then one HCN is lost to give 66 here. So now look into the preferred cleavage here as I said if we have again longer chain is there preferred cleavage will be here and it leads to the elimination of a CH2R radical and formation of again iminium species you can see here and this 135 CH3 goes and you can get this iminium species here and I think this would do this is about ferrocinium species acyl compound of ferrocene you can see very clearly here mass spectra is given here and this is 100% abundant and try to analyze the spectrum of mass spectrum of ferrocene having acyl group on each cyclopentadienyl group and then all the data is given try to analyze and also this is the value obtained from simulation I have provided this information also now try to analyze this one in a very systematic way the way I did for previous examples of organic molecules and then in my next lecture I would come up with more examples in organic compounds and also having halogens that is very very important also very interesting until then have an excellent time. Thank you.


So he doesn't complain in the relationship and this person wants to know if she is a nag and She wants to know why it feels like they're drifting apart more and more and her complaints Fallen deaf ears. It seems like to her. So I'm gonna be quick with this There is a big problem in a lot of relationships where one person never complains for whatever reason I Have noticed that it tends to be the man in a lot of cases that don't complain Why is this and how can we solve it? Well, it is a big problem because There is a real problem if you see conflict in a relationship as a problem Conflict is not a problem in a relationship. There is always always always supposed to be conflict in a relationship It is a very healthy thing because what are you trying to do in a relationship? You're trying to meet each other's needs You're going to do a good job sometimes But sometimes you won't do a good job. So you need feedback constantly and it has to be in both directions so one of the things you can do is to learn what each other's needs are and That involves a lot of conversation a lot of talking So when one person isn't complaining there is an issue. It's an issue Why is it so well some of us learn early in life that dependent maybe if we didn't have a good childhood We have an insecure attachment style something like that that our needs are not important to other people or If we express a need that it will be a waste of time It won't be met anyway So we learn quite quickly in life that there's no point complaining about things just make the best of it be very independent and Take care of yourself Interdependence is not something for you. That's what we learn So we need to start complaining more and more and more. Okay, it's not it's the complete opposite of that And if it is a case where you're in a relationship with you where you're the one that's complaining and you're frustrated that the other person Never seems to have a genuine Complaint it's totally understandable. Okay So you can start to find out what his needs are or what his needs might be and Ask that person for feedback on how you're doing in meeting those needs for them Because if you're open and you can take that step Then they will be far more open to learning about your needs and what they're doing Not maybe not very well or what they could do better that would help meet your needs So really in that kind of conversation, there's going to be a lot of feedback and there's going to be a lot of complaining Okay, but in a healthy way, there should always be complaining going on. Why does it happen? I talked about that thing of insecure attachment stuff over younger. We learned that Complaining falls on deaf ears But there's also this thing of like stoicism Especially in men actually it's like this thing of stoicism is I only focus on the things in life that I can control And for a lot of things that's really good, but in relationships You can misinterpret the meaning of stoicism Stoicism is okay I focus on what I can control but in a relationship you have complete control over how much you complain and how much you communicate So if you're not complaining and communicating you're not practicing stoicism. You're probably practicing Denial, okay, maybe even repression and we don't want those things We want to be totally honest about what our needs are and start to complain Start to complain more and more like if you can't think of the last time you complained in the relationship, there's a problem So well, I won't say there's a problem. I'll say there's an opportunity for growth there and because there is there's a massive one Most of the conversations in relationships really should be about Complaints, you know, it should be about how can we meet each other's needs in a better way So again, invite your partner if you feel that they never complain try and find out what their needs might be And there are lots of resources online. There's usually about 10 needs a person has five of them will be particularly important In a relationship that is emotional needs You can find out what those are they will be different to yours most likely some of them will be the same They might prioritize them differently So find out what those needs are and encourage your partner to complain because that will make them open to hearing your feedback your complaints a lot more readily than Geo springing complaints and being frustrated with their lack of input So I hope that helps if you'd like to learn more about this you can contact me in my website. That's dr. David Maloney calm I'm a licensed therapist and psychologist and I work with individuals and couples as well Thanks for watching the video. Hope you enjoyed it. Hope it was helpful You can like this video. It helps me a lot subscribe for more of these videos and I will talk to you again soon Bye


Let's have a look at this case, which is an example of the application of the tort of interference with contractual relations. That tort is also commonly called the tort of inducing breach of contract. This decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal, called Jujard and Kojiko Cable, involved a gentleman by the name of Mr. Jujard, who was a cable and fiber optic installer. He had worked for Kojiko Cable for quite a while in the Windsor area up until 1999. When he resigned and took employment in the US. When he returned to Canada in 2001, he came back to the Windsor area and he accepted a job with a company called MassTech. MassTech was a cable industry contractor and one of its main clients was Kojiko. When Kojiko found out that MassTech had hired Jujard, Kojiko told MassTech that they would not allow Jujard to work on any of its projects. Then MassTech told Mr. Jujard, we can't have you working on Kojiko projects. The only option is to get you to work on other projects farther away in London or Kitchener. Mr. Jujard could not, because of his family commitments, could not accept that alternative assignment. And that employment offer was revoked. Then several months later, MassTech hired Mr. Jujard again and assigned him again to a project involving Kojiko. And again, Kojiko told MassTech that they wouldn't allow Mr. Jujard to work on any of its equipment. And that caused MassTech to terminate Mr. Jujard's employment. Because of this situation, Mr. Jujard was unable to obtain any employment with any other Windsor cable industry contractor due to all the rumors that swirled arising from this incident with Kojiko. The legal issue that we'll focus on in this case has to do with whether or not Kojiko induced MassTech to breach its employment contract with Jujard. In other words, did Kojiko commit the tort of interference with contractual relations? Please note that the court also considered another legal issue, which was whether or not Kojiko committed the tort of unlawful interference with economic relations. We will focus only on the part of the judgment that discusses the tort of inducing breach of contract, also known as interference with contractual relations. The court set out the requirements for the tort of inducing breach of contract, which is also called again the tort of interference with contractual relations. So to prove that tort, the court said that the four elements had to be proven. First, Mr. Jujard had a valid and enforceable contract with MassTech. Second, Kojiko was aware of the existence of that contract. Third requirement was Kojiko intended to and did procure the breach of the contract. And lastly, the fourth requirement, as a result of the breach of contract, Mr. Jujard suffered damages. In applying those legal requirements to the facts of this case, the court with respect to the first requirement said that there's no dispute that Mr. Jujard was hired in May of 2001 and did have a valid and enforceable employment contract with MassTech. So that first requirement of having an actual contract is met. The second requirement, Kojiko had acknowledged that it was aware of the contract between MassTech and Jujard. So that satisfies the second requirement that Kojiko actually knew of the contract between MassTech and Jujard. So moving on to the third requirement. The third requirement is that Kojiko must have intended to cause the breach of contract between MassTech and Mr. Jujard. In coming to the conclusion that Kojiko did intend to cause the breach of contract, the court looked at the findings, the factual findings from the trial. So there's a whole list of six different facts that were found at trial, which the appeal court used to support the conclusion that there was an intention to cause a breach of contract. The last element is that Mr. Jujard must have suffered damages arising from the breach of contract. And the appeal court here accepted the trial court's conclusion that Mr. Jujard did suffer damages. Specifically he wasn't able to find a job in his field of expertise in the Windsor area and he had to accept other lower paying employment. Let's recap the legal requirements for the tort of interference with contractual relations. So the first requirement has to do with knowledge. The defendant had to actually know about the existence of a contract between the plaintiff and a third party. The second requirement has to do with intention. The defendant intended to cause the third party to breach the contract. The third requirement is cause. The defendant actually caused the third party to breach the contract. And the fourth requirement is loss. The plaintiff suffered a loss from the breach of contract. So this tort typically arises when one company is trying to lure away employees or customers of another company.


Hello and welcome to a video from filmsbychris.com. That's Chris with the K. I'm Chris with the K. Check out a link in the description to get to my website. Today, we are gonna be looking at a file. If I show you here, I'm in a directory that I set up for this particular demonstration. There's a file called downloader.sh. I'm gonna open it up with Vim. So here we go, this is the file. That's it, and then I can exit out of that. Now, I'm going to exit out of the shell and go into a new shell right here. So I'm not even in that directory anymore. You can see I'm in my home directory.  And it opens up the last file you're in, regardless of what directory you're in. Now, depending on your setup, you may only have to hit control O. I have my regular setup, so I can do that with Neo Vim. I just hit control O, but the default option is control and then double tap O and it will open up the last file you were in. Again, it doesn't matter what directory I'm in, so I could be in my temp directory. If I open up Vim, I hit control and hit OO and it opens up that last file. So that is how you can quickly open up the last file you were working with even if you don't remember where it is. So thanks for watching. Again, my website is filmsbychris.com. That's Chris Decay, check out the link in the description. And as always, I hope that you have a great day.


But who cares? Hey guys! So one of yous brought something to my attention that was quite interesting. And not only did you email me about it, but you even sent me a set. Now I don't know if most of yous already know about this particular collection. I for one have no clue, which is usually the case. I'm usually the last person to know about anything. But anyways, the collection I am talking about is the new Buffalo Silver Select Edition series. So the set that my puzzle pal Christy sent me is called Confection Street. And this is from Buffalo's Silver Select Edition. And this one is 1000 pieces and it is 26.75 by 19.75 inches when it's completed. And this image is by none other than Charles Wissaki. Now this puzzle set comes in a fantastic box. And it even states on the back that it's considered a giftable package. It's a beautiful box. It has silver accents on it. It's nice and solid. And it's kind of like one of those that you gotta pull the little box out from the insert. It's beautiful. And this set does include a full color diagram, which of course, you know, is a huge plus for me. And it is something that Buffalo tends to put in other sets anyways. And aside from the fact that this image is by Charles Wissaki, which is one of my favorite artists, I mean, I mean, just look at this image.  I'm telling you, just looking at this image, I pretty much planned out my day. You know, my first stop in the morning is going to be the pancake house here. Got to get me some good pancakes for breakfast.  And then after that, I'm just going to keep going down to the next house. We got popcorn, chocolates, root beer, donuts. Then I'll stop for some pizza for dinner and then hope that this car here is still there for dessert so that I can have some cakes and cookies and probably some ice cream as well. I'm pretty sure after spending a day on this street, I'm going to end up with very severe indigestion. But who cares? Now, if you have heard of these silver select additions and if you've tried them, make sure you hit that like button and let me know down below what have your experiences been like with these sets. Now, in terms of the whole process here, I'm kind of figuring, like, honestly, I think this is going to be a fairly easy image to complete. Each house here has pretty much his own color scheme going on. I'm kind of thinking that the hardest part of this set is basically going to be the trees. I kind of feel like this is going to be an overall easy image for me to complete. But then again, who knows, this can take me, you know, a month to complete. And you know, there goes what I said, right? Is the silver select addition better than the basic ones that you get? I don't know. But you know what guys, I'm never going to know until I finally open this up and I am too excited to get started. So you know what? Let's get busy. All right. This is way too exciting. So this box does have one sticker on the side here. So let's tear that off very carefully so that we don't, you know, have any damages here. Okay, that was simple enough. No damages. Let me see if I can pull that out very carefully. There we go. All right, we'll save that for later. Now, let's, let's slide this open. Oh, this, I love this box. This box is like so solid. Let's see here. Oh, we got ourselves a beautiful poster. Look at that. That's a great size reference image. Let's put this on the side. We need this for later. Here's the bottom part. Well, the insert of the box. Oh, hello there. And oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. Guys, do you see what I see here? Oh my goodness. It comes in a receivable bag. Thank you, Buffalo, for, for making this happen. All right, let's get these pieces out. Definitely save this beauty for later because we can use it again. All right, here are the pieces. Now, I do very much remember enjoying my first Buffalo experience. And I really did like the quality as well. We do have a very nice clear print here. The colors are very vibrant. And as you can see there, there is quite a bit of gloss to this. So just keep note of that. I'm putting quite a bit of force on these tabs. Of course, not too much beastly force. This is quite strong. And you know what? I feel like I need to open up one of my basic Buffalo sets. And let's do a quick comparison here. You guys remember that one, right? And overall, the size is pretty much the same. Yeah, there doesn't look to be much difference with glare. So that's the same. I feel like the strength of these pieces are pretty much the same. But I will be curious to see if there's any difference with the fit of the pieces, how it holds together. Is it going to hold as well as the basic Buffalo sets? Because as you can see here, and if you remember, I was able to put this in sections very easily. So we shall see, right? This is honestly super exciting because I have not done a Buffalo set in quite a while. And I'm really excited to see if there are any other similarities or differences between the basic Buffalo set and the silver select addition. So you know what, guys? I can't take this anymore. I need to get started. So you know what? Let me put this away. And let's get this one sorted. So this was definitely one of those instances where I think I go into it with the plan and then I kind of blank out. But anyways, once I got into the groove of it, it was pretty easy. So of course, first tray, we have the edge pieces. Second tray here, we have any pieces with people in them. Third tray is any of the grassy areas or the pavement. Third tray, I took any pieces that had any lettering in them. And I think for some of them as well, I kind of did anything with images with food in them. The next tray is for the buildings. Next tray, we have roof pieces, just plain roof. I try to keep it that way as best I could. The next tray was anything that had any detail of the trees and the balloons and the little flags. And then the very last tray, what I did was I did anything that had to do with details from the very top of the image. So we have the sky, these trees here, we have this, I don't even know what this is. It's a hot air balloon, isn't it? So yeah, it wasn't too bad. Anyways, let's continue. And as I was going through all the pieces, I did come across many instances where there were bunches of pieces kind of already stuck to each other. And I had to very carefully pull these apart because they were quite tight because it was all the wrong pieces pushed into each other. And it didn't take me too long to realize that I didn't actually do the most fantastic job with sorting. Because as I was trying to put the edges together, I realized some of them were missing. But that's okay. I was sure I would find them eventually. So good. We got pretty much most of the bottom done here. All the edging is done. Finally, aside from one piece here, which I need to look for in the tray with all the sky pieces. Now I'm trying to think of my next strategy here. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do next. So looking at this image, I'm thinking what I'm going to do is put together whatever pieces I can from this tray with all the lettering and wording and kind of the little foods and whatnot. Do those first and then maybe start going at the little buildings here. So in order for me to do that, what I'm probably going to end up doing as well is kind of resorting this tray and try to group together all the similar colors and patterns and go from there. All right. So all right, let's continue. So I did a quick resort here of the tray that had pieces for all the buildings. So what I did was I kind of just separated it into little piles around each of my trays here. So I kind of have a blue pile here. We got purples, pinks, some window pieces here that I don't know where exactly they go and so on. You get what I'm trying to say. So hopefully this should help me get through the buildings fairly quickly. So let's continue and let's see if it works. All right. Well, that wasn't too bad. I found the buildings to be quite fun to piece together. It was a little tricky at times because I guess it's my lighting. Some of the colors look very similar to each other. But other than that, pretty darn good progress. Got the main areas of the buildings down. Now all we have to do is get the tray that I have here with the remaining pieces for the buildings and it's also the roof as well. Got a lot of the trays empty now. So you know what? We're doing good. Good progress. Let's continue. So sometimes if you come across a challenging area in a puzzle and I've only noticed this with some puzzle brands, but if you look closely, sometimes they tend to have kind of like a pattern going across the piece, kind of like lines almost. And if you could see, I don't know how well you can see it actually. Going horizontally, you turn it this way. It kind of looks like those lines are going vertical. And when you want to try to kind of maybe organize your pieces, either lining them up by shape or by colors, what you can do is take a look at this pattern here. Make sure it's going horizontally because that's kind of like how all the print is on all these pieces. And that's how you know how the piece is going to fit. You can also see it here on this piece. You can see that horizontal line going across it as well. See vertical, horizontal. So this piece is either going to sit like this on the image or it's going to sit this way. And all the pieces line up that way as you can. I don't know if you how well you can see it, but it's all lining up. So as you can see with these three pieces, I know now that these are going to sit either this way on the image or that way on the image, not like this. All right. So that's probably a little tip for you to use in case you're having an issue like this. But again, not all puzzle brands kind of have this look to them, this kind of print on them. So have a look at what you're working with. And you know, you're not going to see it on all the pieces. Obviously, this one is super dark.  And you're not going to see, well, kind of maybe a little bit in the light there. I hope everything I just said made some sort of sense. Let's move on. Okay, so I was going to stop puzzling because I got to be somewhere very soon, but I couldn't help myself. So I decided to take the tray with all the tree pieces and basically kind of go through each one and re-sort it. So I broke the tray with all the tree pieces into three separate trays. And what I did was I took all the pieces out that just had the balloon string to them, laid them all out flat so that I could see them a little better. Then over here, what I did was I took all the tree pieces that had any specific details to them. You could see a lot of pieces here with smoke from the chimneys. I have some pieces with flags. And some of these do have balloon lines, but what I did was if it had something else other than that, I put it on this tray. And then the last tray that I did was just all balloons. And as I was putting them in the tray, I was kind of piecing them together already. What I'm going to do is I'm going to put this all down on the puzzle itself, get these done. And then I think I'm going to go and attack the sky pieces and probably do pretty much the same thing in terms of re-sorting. Anyways, let's move on. So piecing all the balloons on the trays made the process a lot easier. All I did was use my puzzle scoop to kind of transfer them over to the image. Then I just had to fill in the gaps with the balloon strings and the rest of the tree pieces. And I did decide to do the same thing with the tray with the sky pieces. I re-sorted it into I think about three or four piles and went on from there. And I knew this was going to be the most challenging part of the puzzle. These wispy trees in the sky, I felt like they took me forever. But I still feel like if I didn't re-sort the trays, it would have taken me a heck of a lot longer to complete. This puzzle took me about six hours to complete. The image had a good mix of easy areas and challenging areas. And overall, it was of course a lot of fun. But was the overall quality of this silver select set any different from the typical buffalo sets? It was kind of hard to tell apart any major differences between the two. Now, early on, the only issue that I really had or noticed was the fit. And at times, it did feel a little bit on the loose side. And in a way, it kind of made it a bit crumbly at times. And again, that's comparing it to my first experience with a basic buffalo set. Because really, I don't remember that occurring in my last experience. I thought maybe it was the thickness of the piece. And I did measure it with a caliper. And there was like just a hair's difference. And it was the silver select that was just a hair thicker, which is nothing really. And they might even be the same because I know my husband's caliper isn't the greatest. So who knows, this might just be a one off. It could just be the way this particular silver select set was cut. I'm not sure. It is something that I will be noting the next time I try one of the buffalo silver selects. Now, to find any differences between the silver select and the basic buffalo sets, I tested it fully. I did the pickup test. I even put it to my storage test and it came apart fairly easily and fairly in one piece, you know, with the occasional two to three pieces rolling out. And I wobbled it around and it's still surprisingly held together. It passed. Now, both collections have the same level of glossy coating. And the piece size is pretty much the same. So with all this information, overall, you're pretty much getting the same experience. What you're really paying a few bucks more for these silver select sets is really the luxurious packaging. And let's not forget, of course, that amazing resealable bag that no other company seems to want to provide you with. But again, if any of you do have experiences with this particular collection, let me know down below in the comments what have your experiences been like. Now, if you saw my last video, you already know that I have two of the Seaco silver select editions. And I'm really looking forward to one of them because it is, of course, my absolute favorite, Disney Thomas Kincaid. You know I love that stuff. But if you want to hear what I have to say about those particular sets and you're new here, be sure that you're subscribed. And if you're looking for a place to share your own puzzling experiences with other puzzlers, I do have a puzzling community that you can join. And I'll leave a link in the description box down below that'll direct you to where you can join. Well, guys, I need to get a move on with some other puzzle projects. So I hope you are all doing well. Thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one.


Spot lock it right here. Oh Welcome back to the channel everybody and good morning a glorious morning. I'm surrounded by deer y'all Absolutely surrounded by him There's a there's a mama and her phone there's a little box that You know, they're all still in velvet out here. It's just a spike. You're just walking around There's another phone.   It's been many years, but This is a place that I used to camp and it was I just remember it being really cool I don't remember this many deer being out here, but They've had a population explosion and a population explosion on the smallmouth as well last night We ended up sleeping in the truck and it actually worked out pretty good. I laid out my pad in here and My truck has these vents these windows open entirely so they'll they slide all the way open However, it was still very very much steamy in there and I've been up since like 4 30 just You know ready ready to get up and go fishing because I was sweating while we're up this early We should definitely take advantage of that possible topwater bite that might Be with us I got to see a little bit of the topwater action yesterday. I mean just had one of the coolest topwater eats ever So i'm hoping to get on some of those crazy smallmouth again and go explore more of the lake So we're gonna go see if we can Find some more spots find some more outdoor greatness But it's already off to a good start All that's missing is a good hot cup of coffee Baby That deer's taking a dump over there What a shot that'd be a shot of the year All I'm gonna do is roll out to the lake Dumping on me and start the motor and get on going on the day greatest thing about mornings I'm always in a good mood in the morning when I'm going fishing Well, there's no boo-boos yet in the day. It's just you and the fish. You haven't even got a backlash yet You know, you fish a lot and you're just holding a dslr camera in one hand and just backing the boat in with the other It's looking good Yeah, just a little floater I missed my step I missed my step on my old skater The old man step I've never actually been up early enough to see my electronics start off in night mode That's pretty cool. If you don't even have to switch anything Y'all I'm ready to roll. Let's get it You ever just have a bank that speaks to you? I was planning on going further than this and then I just said This bank it's just it's talking to me Wouldn't you know it? Big old boulder divvies Right on this bank Oh my gosh freaking Smallmouth or something trying to blast it got him first cast of the day ladies and gentlemen go ahead and tap it And it is a skinniest smallmouth of all time Oh my that is a texas bullet smally Oh, don't you do that with that dump water in my hands, sir my gosh Got you out. Okay The attempts did you see how many attempts? What happened on that? I know y'all can't see this boulder, but I mean it just got right over the top of it and He said I need that in my face. I'm hoping there's just like a random Like a maverick four pounder on one of these boulders that'll Come up and play in the low light This water's warm one is 82 degrees. Geez. I think they definitely like this walking style I wasn't going to start off with a popper But I can cover more water with this so I think I'm just gonna stick with that. This is a really cool color y'all This is a cracked up color But top waters are always tricky and they like uh, you know something shad flavored, but Sometimes they'll get a little close to it and clear water and they'll shy off of it for some reason.  It's just a silhouette Oh my goodness ladies and gentlemen sunrise Bass boat with a rooster tail coming in hot about 62.   Holy cow. Yeah, that was up there kind of shallow My line just started screaming after he took off. I mean wow That was cool Well, they're just in those little tight focused areas I'm gonna idle over to the other side Crack a cold one maybe get a bite of my sausage from last night so cool having That refrigerator on the boat You all see that? I don't think it was a bass. I can already tell you this bank I don't think it has enough depth I'll work this next 50 yard stretch And then we'll know I need like 20 feet of water Real close I'm just gonna go ahead and recognize that fact early So I can stay on them fish God there's bass for exploding over there exploding topwater style No reason What is happening out there? There must be some tree out here That fish are sitting in And some shad got pushed up to the surface That was getting pretty close there. Oh, oh, oh, that's a good size fish Freaking come on. Oh my god spot locked it right here I think that fish is sitting in a tree over deep water I got him. I got him. Oh, baby Oh, that's a little one though. That's a little one. That's not the one I saw Are you gonna have any friends? largemouth out there in the open waters It's anchor right here See if I can hit that spot again. I know there's Somebody else out there. Oh, yeah It's like see there's a tree and then there's one two three four Looks like five fish sitting there and rotates if I can see it a little bit better. Here we go Okay, so it's out here 25 feet in front of me. I'm having trouble getting bit in these trees y'all I thought that was going to be the juice and I could see them in there I had the largemouth come up way out of the tree. You need my top water You know at the bottom of the tree was like 30 foot.  The top water seems to be working really well. I don't think I'm gonna take that off I've had better luck around the rocks. I know the trees are good at just I'm missing something I'm missing Something that's gonna Help me catch those fish. I don't know what it is yet But I'm gonna take this opportunity to go explore the lake now. I think the morning You know feed is probably over So I'm just gonna run and see what banks are looking good See what areas have good rock transitions boulders trees whatnot and just go see more of the lake that I haven't seen in many years and then Try to find some spots that I've never fished before So just stopped at an area where the sun is still behind The wall right here.    It's like whoo I think I could throw this for another couple hours without a bite or something chasing it What was that the bluegill? As soon as I got around some shade and rocks Oh my gosh There we go Now the random smally. What's this one gonna be? Oh, this one's pulling this one's pulling really good now Oh god, it got off as a big one shoot Man, it started really pulling drag right there at the end. Ah dad gum it ah, man I had my drag loose. That's just one of the unfortunate things About fishing braid and topwaters Gotta take them easy That was just one of those maverick biggins It's about as big as a smallmouth as I'm gonna catch out here Ned time Ned time little ggb Little deeper pale colored And it is a doinker In the deeps Wow, it wasn't it wasn't rolling for that. Okay Well, I just caught one on topwater off the boulder middle of middle of the sunlight Pretty much just talked to talk to the camera for a couple minutes And realized it wasn't on Yeah Aren't those little caves up there just crazy all Just think about what used to live in there back in the day this area of texas is just full of limestone And I've run up to a part of the lake. I've never been to and there's just these like sheer cliffs of these caves And just these giant limestone walls. It's really cool, but The fishing sucks the fishing sucks I'm gonna fish this one last stretch here because I see some boulders See if I can come up with something and if not, I am going to take it back to the treehouse I had an exciting morning, but I know right now. It's gonna be just a grind It's gonna be a grind to get these fish. They're all moving out deed starting to lock down It's just getting tougher and tougher to catch them.  Oh, you're kidding me. You gotta be side swiping Son of a biscuit. I mean just boom. There's two bites right there. Very odd Like hard hits On the rattle of Ned normally they don't let go that it's so small Man, I got hung in something Ah I'm gonna show y'all They all that live in Texas and some of these other states that are starting to get these things now zebra mussels The lakes come down and you can see these rocks are full of them right here That's what they look like And they are Sharp sharp sharp notice on a couple occasions on this fishing trip. My line was just cut easily And that's why it's because of the zebra mussels. They nick your line Makes the water clear because they're filter feeders, but They can clog up pipes and they can cause damage in marina areas and Municipalities, you know places that are that are using pipes and sewers And they can be annoying for boat owners that keep their boats in the water So I always want to make sure you don't have any of those in your Live well in your it usually won't get them if you don't you know if you're taking your boat in and out But you know if you're like keeping your boat here overnight or something and some of them attach I don't know. I always just want to check because They're nasty and they're spreading everywhere in texas All right y'all we are going to take it on in we are ending Our day next to the deer again. They're just out here roaming around dozens of them Just being peaceful deer just sitting in the shade and I've been sitting in the shade cleaning up the boat This place has terrible water spots Everything is cleaned drained and dry And I just used uh, I think this stuff is called boat sauce Something like that boat sauce.  I've actually been trying to keep the silver bullet clean And I've been doing a decent job of it keeps it nice and sparkly when it's cruising down the road Our morning dangle started off extra special There's something about sleeping next to the water Where you just there's no rush or anything you just I mean it's just easy breezy and then all of a sudden You just get on bites and had that top water thing going again lost a magnum And then it got tough and I had to make sure I was fishing on those boulders Big rocks this time of year Fists just I mean I could see bluegill on them, you know, there's large mouth or small mouth They're just living on those big rocks.  That's interesting. Thank you fishing freak for tag along on all these fishing adventures I'm gonna sign it off. Peace be with you in all of your outdoor adventures, and I'll see you soon


This was in Mangalore and she had come from Mysore with a few volunteers from Mysore. So, in the morning when we went for the games, there were a few new people and there was this one person who was everywhere, who was doing all this long frisbee throws with Sadhguru, who was in the ball game everywhere, who was pointedly bent upon getting Sadhguru out until then nobody knew who she was. At the end of the program, Sadhguru introduced her to all of us as a Ishavaka teacher. And that's the time she was working in a bank. She was so aligned to Sadhguru and always being around him. I remember how she shared about her marriage. When I asked Viji, how did it all happen? She said that when she met Sadhguru, in that very first meet, we knew each other. That's it and that's marriage for me. It was a very simple wedding in a small Shiva temple in Irpur Falls. At that time, Sadhguru was developing a farm. Everything that happened in the farm, she would know, she would be there whenever she could. He would spend half the month in his farm. Another half the month he would teach a class either in Hyderabad or in Mangalore or Climatore or Tirupur or one of these towns. Every weekend Viji would travel to the initiation, from my side. When whoever knew Sadhguru or Viji, they always knew them as Jaggi and Viji. They were always together everywhere in everything that they did. They nurtured each other, played together, travelled extensively like gypsies. Such was their companionship. She did yoga only because it means something to me. She didn't do yoga for her health. She didn't do yoga for her well-being. She didn't care about her well-being. She did yoga only because it means something to me. I'm talking about it, so she was doing it. Any number of times she openly spoke about it to people. She wanted to do something that means something to me. For Viji, who is my wife, but most of the time she more existed as my child than my wife because she was like that. But still we had a very engaging and engrossed kind of relationship all the time. She was like my shadow. All the time, twelve years, she just was everywhere that I was. She organizes the yoga program. She goes around, works. The day she does everything. Every time that she saw Satguru, it's not that she will say bye and she will go back to whatever she was doing. She has to see him, get on to the vehicle. She has to see him start. She has to wave. She has to keep waving until he is out of sight. Even after ten, twelve years, after marriage, almost every day this situation is happening. She is very deeply devoted to Satguru as a person. She also constantly maintained an old posture that she had nothing to do with spirituality. She was only interested in Satguru the person who happened to be her husband and that was her only interest. I mean one can't exist around Satguru unless in one way or the other one is deeply tied, committed to one's own spiritual growth. Even though she said that she's not on the spiritual path, it's not for her and all that, I think constantly right from the beginning she couldn't help but to make progress on this path. Moments and few incidents that I saw in Satguru, I mean in my own life these moments have had such deep impact. This must have happened with Viji continuously in so many ways which obviously had big impact. She would go to any extent to kind of stand up for something. Anything that was happening she was there. Not because Satguru was there and she had to be there as a wife and things like that. No, she filled it because she was also equally wanting that good things happen with people and people benefit from Satguru and make use of that. No matter how long it takes, they will remember and listen to it. You can come and see it. They will come and see it and you will also come and see it. It's not like everyone has to get along with you, you shouldn't get along with them. They are very much in love with each other. Like she is very soft in her heart. Like somebody has to say something. She has no hesitation even to take a bangle and give it to them and to solve the problem. Very relatable and affectionate woman I've ever come across. Years before I had to go to school I would be like, I need to do homework, I need to do homework. The last three days I'd be writing with my right hand, she would be writing something else with her left hand just to make it seem like it was my work. At times Satguru has made this clear to Viji in many ways that he never really, you know, kind of uses this word or talks about it openly but to her he had communicated to her that his disciples, their well-being and what needs to happen to them it was far more important than what his commitments were to her. Swami Nirmala Nanda was somebody I knew for a long time. I have met him almost twenty years ago or more. A very strange kind of atmosphere and ever since then some kind of… we've been little darling with each other. Ninety-six sometime early we went to B.R. Hill, Sri and Viji went there once. Radhe also was there at that time. We were talking to him and he said, next year, January, when the Uttarayana comes I want to leave. I asked him why. He said, I've lived as a yogi but I don't want to live as a rogui.  He was asking me, I really not clear about how to leave. He had built a small samadhi for himself. Will it work? What will happen? This and that. That's the first time I opened up to a completely different thing and I spoke to him certain details about what is it that stops a person from leaving, what makes a person leave. Viji was there, she was listening to all this and she burst out into tears and she cried and cried and cried. So I just ignored her and spoke, continued to speak to him. Then he was also weeping off and on he was asking me questions and questions and he went into great detail of many things which usually has never spoken anywhere. We came down after meeting Nirmala Nanda, we just came and just after that place I parked and I knew she was in some kind of mood, kind of mood I just stood on the road and it's an incredible view. So I just was standing on the road, Radhe was also playing around there and she came and fell at my feet and I also want to do what he's doing. I was just trying to joke and try to no sort of dismiss the whole thing. She was crying and she was saying I want to go like him. I said, okay, are you willing to do the sadhana? You do it, let's see. I never thought she'll have the perseverance to stick on to it like forever. So I told her a few things that you do these things, let me see how seriously you do. If things come up to that stage we will see. From that day she just went like, she was another person altogether. Suddenly the last eight, nine months she became all focused and like that. Because the way she was going I saw she's going so intensely and after two, three months she even started talking confidently that she's going to leave in another. Then I tried to slow her down a little bit and I said what's the point now? All these twelve years of marriage we were only traveling. Only now just then we had just had a place to live so you could call her on and cook and do things which meant a lot to her, I knew. So I said what is a hurry and the girl is just seven years old. I said things are working out well for you also, why now? So she said right now my inside is feeling absolutely beautiful and outside everybody is wonderful to me. This is the time I want to leave. I don't know how long I'll be able to maintain this. All my life I've been confused, revealed everything. Right now I'm in a space where I want to be. I want to leave like this. So many times in my own ways I tried to slow her down a little bit. The next December came, 96th December then we knew Nirmala Nanda will leave. From there we went on Karmayatra. This is the final lap of Dhyanalinga consecration. So I wanted to clear up a few things for people involved. So I took them on a 6-7 state tour. I have nothing much to say. This 12 days trip is a certainly experienced tremendous energy and I can say I've taken one or two steps towards my growth and certainly it helped me to be a little more mature person and I consider myself very lucky to and we hope that I carry and be of some useful to everyone. By now after the Karmayatra she was all glowing like a full moon. People who saw those few last few weeks they could clearly notice she was like blown like a full moon. Then I had to tell them she said she's going to go shortly. They won't believe it. I said that's how it is. December Power Nami onwards she started serving the people. Three Power Namis she wanted to cook and serve and she wants to leave. Then on 21st we dropped Radhe at school and that's when she she was talking to Radhe already that I won't be there after some time. The girl was just about fine. She didn't take that and they came back The evening from Utti 23rd evening is when she left. Around 8 in the morning Sathru called me and asked me to be with Viji because she was on a certain sadhana and that whole day I was with her meditating and doing several other activities. Shambho, Shambho, Shambho finished. Just before that she went out about 6, 11, 6, 12 that's the time. At 6 o'clock she went out she wanted a rose flower so she asked one of the Brahmacharis to get a rose flower. They ran to the Vanaprasthashram got the rose flower and came.  Only after 3 days while sitting for a meditation it really stuck me that she had known this coming. It's like her Maha Samadhi is just a promise to me so if you really that's what you want it's a possibility like if you're so intensely seeking something as an ultimate you can attain it. But definitely Viji's Maha Samadhi was a tremendous logical way of looking at life. The Maha Samadhi of course was something like that you know what was not visible what was not overly visible to people's eyes it's almost like something else worked on constantly something else was working with her and all the time. In the yogic traditions held us a very sacred day because many beings either out of intent or just sucked into it either chose or got induced into shedding their physical bodies on this day consciously so many have done this in this tradition. Even here at Isha we witnessed a great event for Viji who had neither any sadhana behind her nor did he have any great knowledge with the simplicity of her emotion and the intensity of her focus towards what she wanted. This happened too effortlessly the effortlessness which even accomplished yogis would go through a little bit of struggle to do such things it happened too effortlessly there are many ways to attain through pure energy or awareness absolute selflessness or through devotion devotion I put it last but it's the quickest way I put it last because the line between devotion and deception is so fine lot of people will miss it as they get more and more overwhelmed with deeper and deeper bursts of energy within them slowly they become devout that's good the wisest ones are always devotees it's a different kind of wisdom which logical minds can never understand they grasp life in a different way Viji was bursts of devotion and confusion devotion and confusion when she held on to the traditional spell for long enough that's been the way that was her way too so three things that she would have been very happy and proud to see was the glorious way in which the Analinga consecration happened in spite of her absence at that time of course everything else that is happening with Disha and the last but for her it won't have been the least is that her daughter has just become a young woman


Obesity is a major contributor to chronic kidney disease, CKD, as well as type 2 diabetes. Randomized control trials have shown that sodium glucose-cotransporter 2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptid 1 analogues, and bariatric surgery can improve renal outcomes in patients with both conditions. Further research is needed to better understand how these treatments can be used to reduce morbidity in patients with obesity and CKD. This article was authored by Roshida Abdul Wahab, Ricardo V. Cohen and Carol W. LaRue.
