My fellow Americans Abraham Lincoln once said you can't fool all of the people all of the time Well this week our liberal friends have been trying to prove him wrong They've charged that our record of lowering your taxes ending runaway inflation and igniting the longest peace time economic expansion ever Has been bad for middle-class working Americans Well, it's time to remind them of a few facts For example the misery index the misery index was an election year gimmick. They cooked up for the 1976 campaign By adding the unemployment and inflation rates. It came to 13.4% in 1976 And they declared that no one had a right to seek re-election with a misery index that high Well four years later in the 1980 campaign. They didn't mention the misery index Perhaps because it had grown to almost 21% and this year they still aren't mentioning it under us It's dropped to under 10% Our liberal friends have been hopping around the country Charging that real family income is no higher today than it was 20 years ago Now in fact, it's 14% higher But why would they bring family income up at all after all between 1977 and 1981 Maybe you can guess why I picked those years the typical American family's income after taking out inflation fell 7% Think of what it would mean to you and your family if somebody were to cut your family's paychecks by that much today Think of how much less you could buy at the grocery store the clothes you couldn't get for your children How much less you could put in the plate at your church or synagogue each week and then think of this Since 1981 when we came to office the typical family's income after taking out inflation has soared more than 10% One place you can see what this change means to you is in housing Our liberal friends have been talking a great deal about affordable housing recently Don't they remember that in 1980 as housing prices and interest rates skyrocketed together one of the few times in history That's happened and real family incomes plummeted The American dream of owning a home almost went down for the count and the top housing official of the previous Administration finally threw up his hands in despair and said for many hard-working families Housing is growing beyond their reach unquote Yes, according to real estate industry economists in 1980 the average American family made just over three-fourths of what it needed to buy a home Today with interest rates half of what they were and inflation under control The typical American family makes over a hundred and ten percent of what it needs to buy a home Renters are also doing better when the liberals left office the national vacancy rates for apartments in the price range of low and medium income families Were around 5% Which means it had become hard for low and medium income Americans to find an apartment Today these national vacancy rates are around 8% and it's the landlords who are having to wait longer to find tenants Add this all up and you see that we have more much more affordable housing today than we had eight years ago You think all these facts would give our liberal opponents pause But apparently not when we note that since our expansion began America has created more than 18 million new jobs That unemployment is nearly the lowest it's been in 14 years and that a greater proportion of Americans are at work today Than ever before in our history The liberals blandly respond that what we need are good jobs at good wages Perhaps they believe that most Americans have bad jobs. I don't believe that and to tell the truth I find remarks that put down honest occupations. Yes, including short-order chefs offensive and I expect you do too In any event overall job for job The jobs created since our expansion began pay more than the jobs that existed before The liberals charge that we've given tax breaks to the wealthy But when we came to office the wealthy were paying 19.3% of the federal individual income tax revenues now it's 26% The charges go on and on but the truth remains the same No matter how you look at it the last time they were in office the liberals clobbered the American middle class and we stopped them Some are calling this last ditch opposition campaign and attempted class warfare So what's new our liberal friends have been at war with America's middle class for years Now they want you to turn the other cheek, but will they just take that as an opportunity to really let you have it? Main Street America is in better shape today than it's ever been Why would we ever want to put it back in the hands of those who almost turned out its lights until next week? Thanks for listening and God bless you


5. Hello everyone .. 6. Myself Dr. Ms. Tejaswice Rihanga Ghadge 7. working as an assistant professor in Department of Humanities & Science comple 8. in Department of Humanities & Science捂t 9. Volchene Institute of Technology, Sollapur 9 . I welcome all of you in the session of physics 10. Today we learnt about nanotechnology 11. In a previous session we saw the basic terms nanoscience, nanotechnology, nanomaterials, classification of nanomaterials, and the effect of surface-to-volume ratio and quantum confinement on nanomaterials. � tour, n ditch the study research of students who are able to understand the details of manastasional nanotubes,lassification of manastasional nanotubes and the applications of nanotechnology in various departments n changing hype. ҉ that true in the development of nontransvestible nanotubes , e ҉ that social nanotubes 11. Their structure is similar to fullerine, but while the fullerine's molecules forms a spherical shape, the nanotubes are cylindrical in structure with the ends covered by a half fullerine molecule. nanotube diameter is of the order of few nanometers, while their length can be of order of several millimeters. The physical properties of nanotubes in nanometric scale shows the unusual strength, unique electrical properties and extremely high thermal conductivity, carbon nanotubes. There are three forms of carbon that is diamond, graphite and amorphous carbon and other form of carbon known as carbon nanotube which is related to graphite. The molecular structure of graphite is one atom thick, a planar network of interconnected hexagonal rings of carbon atoms. In graphite, the sheets of carbon are stacked on top of one another and they can easily slide over each other. Hence, graphite is not hard but used as a lubricant. When graphite sheets are rolled into a cylinder and join their edges, then carbon nanotubes were formed. That is, carbon nanotubes are the extended tubes of rolled graphite sheets arranged in a hexagonal manner. Hexagonal structure provides tensile strength, elastic properties, length is 100 micrometer, diameter approximately 2 nanometer. It is 600 times stronger than still and 6 times lighter than it. Now, let us see classification of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are classified as single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Single-walled carbon nanotubes are long-wrapped graphite sheets. The fundamental cylindrical structure which forms the building block of both multi-walled carbon nanotubes and single-walled carbon nanotubes. Diameter varies 1 nanometer to 5 nanometer, length 1 millimetre, length to diameter ratio 1000. So, it is one-dimensional structure. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes has coaxial layers which form the tube-like structure. Each multi-walled carbon nanotubes has 2 to 50 tubes. Inner diameter varies from 1.5 to 15 nanometer, outer diameter 2.5 to 30 nanometer and length 1 millimetre. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes has a more complex array of a form. Each concentric multi-walled carbon nanotubes has different structures and hence there are variety of sequential arrangements. The simplest sequence is when concentric layers are identical but differ in diameter. Carbon nanotubes are arranged in different orders. These can have either regular layering or random layering. The structure of nanotubes influences electrical, thermal conductivity, density and lattice structure. In both the type, single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, diameter of carbon nanotubes are very important. Wider the diameter of nanotubes is behaves like a graphite and narrower the diameter of nanotubes it has some specific properties. Carbon nanotubes have their novel chemical and physical properties. That is mechanically they are very strong, flexible and can conduct more electricity. The helicity of the graphite sheet determines whether the carbon nanotubes is a semi-conductor or metallic. All the remarkable properties of carbon nanotubes have potential application in composites, sensor, nano-electronics and display devices. Carbon nanotubes has a variety of diameters, lengths and functional group content. They are also available for industrial applications in bulk. Now depending upon the folding of graphite sheet, carbon nanotubes are classified as armchair, zigzag and chiral. It is possible to recognize these type by analyzing their cross-sectional structure. Let us see in detail one by one. Armchair, these are formed for the angle theta is equal to pi by six and chirality aa. Armchair structure with arrangement of carbon atoms is as shown in figure, the zigzag arrangement. These are formed for the angle theta is equal to zero, chirality a zero that means it form by folding parallel to x axis. Zigzag arrangement of carbon is shown in figure.  Chiral, these are obtained when angle theta is in between zero to pi by six and chirality a b.  The table shows comparison between different types of carbon nanotubes. Think for a while can you tell any field where we can use nanotechnology. Now let us see the applications of nanotechnology in the various fields. In electronics, nanotechnology increases the capabilities of electronic devices by reducing their weight and increases in power consumption. In the field of energy, it is used to develop clean, affordable and renewable energy sources to reduce their energy consumption and less toxicity environment. The wires will have much lower resistance than the high tension wires which are currently used in the electric grid. It reduces transmission power loss. Nanostructured solar cells could be cheaper to manufacture and easier to install. It is used to develop many new kinds of batteries that are quicker charging, more efficient, lighter in weight, have a higher power density and can hold good electrical charge in the field of automobiles. It includes high power rechargeable battery, thermoelectric material for the temperature control, lower rolling resistance tires, high efficiency and low cost sensors, fuel additives and improved catalytic converters for cleaner exhaust and extended range in field of space. Nanomaterial makes lightweight spacecraft and cable for the space elevator. Significantly it reduces the amount of rocket fuel required for these advances and which lowers the cost of travelling in space. In the field of medical, nanomaterial advances the technology in medical tools and therapies which are currently used in the clinics. Nanomedicine gives the precise solution for disease, prevention, diagnosis and treatment in the field of environment. Nanomaterials are being used to clean industrial water pollutants through chemical reaction. Magnetic nanofibric tiny wires of potassium manganese oxide used to remove oil from the water in the field of textile. Nanofibers are water and strain repellent or wrinkle free garments. Nanotechnology has been utilized to incorporate small carbon particles into it and ensure surface assurance from electrostatic charges for the wearer. Now in the field of cosmetics use of titanium dioxide nanoparticle in sunscreen gives UV security and also whitening of the skin. These are the applications of nanotechnology in the various fields. These are the references. Thank you.

So, that's the end has to leave in a little bit because she has to go to the house. Would you like to tell us where 124 is in the process, what's going on with it. Sure. Hello everybody. Morning. Good afternoon. Sorry. Did I say this morning? I said, I think I said this morning this morning. Yes, the house took up as 124 second reading the house approved house recommended strike all to the bill. The house was not able to consider the follow up amendment that is proposed by representatives Copeland hands us and Gardner. They just didn't have access to it at the time. And so that is still pending and the house plans to request a suspension of the rules this afternoon to take up as 124 for third reading. And prior to third reading, consider the Copeland hands us and Gardner amendment. I think that we discussed the other day. Gail has posted it on your website. Thank you, Gail. It's the draft 2.1 amendment that has the four instances of amendment that are proposed to the house gobop strike all those four instances of amendment cover three different areas. The first one is who can be appointed chair of the Vermont criminal justice council. The second one is the house gobop strike all would have said that the governor would appoint the chair from among the seven gubernatorial appointees. Instead, this would this first instance of amendment would say that the governor will appoint the chair of the council from among a specified list of council members, which are those members that are not related to law enforcement. And the second and third instances of amendment is in regard to the prohibition on facial recognition technology. In the house gobops recommend strike all there was a statutory prohibition on the law enforcement use of facial recognition technology, except as it's currently permitted. For drones under current law. The follow up amendment would. Get rid of that statutory prohibition in place there of put a session law moratorium on law enforcement officers use of facial recognition technology until the use of facial recognition technology is authorized by an enactment of the general assembly, but still allowing it to be used on drones as permitted under the drone law. And related to this is the third instance of amendment, which requests a report back from the council as part of the list of law enforcement recommendations. For the council to recommend any uses for law enforcement officers to use facial recognition technology. So that would come back with the other reports that are required of the council. And then the third topic that's in the fourth instance of amendment is the deadline for the regional planning commissions to submit their inventory of all of their town's public safety resources. If you recall in lieu of the senate's proposed. Requirement for each town to have a public safety plan house gobops strike all amendment would have eliminated that, but as a substitutes provide that each regional planning commission has to have one inventory of all of their town's public safety resources. In the house gobops recommended strike all it was a deadline for the regional planning commissions to do this by July 1, 2022. They are the follow-up amendment would move up that deadline to be December 31st, 2021. Okay, so they're going to take that up this afternoon and hopefully do third reading and suspend the rules and messages to us. Yeah, it's going to depend on suspension of the rules, whether they will get that for third reading. And if that does happen, then it's my understanding that they'll take up this amendment. And then I would think that they would, if it does pass third reading that they would message it over to you. Okay. Thank you. So I have a committee. I just want to relay some conversations that I've had around some of this. There is. And I. There's a lot of pretty deep concern. In the law enforcement public safety community around. The legislature's. Tendency to be micromanaging them. And I, I have. Some empathy with that because I think that. For example, the, the. One about the dispatch fees. They, that really is, I think. Kind of micromanaging it. So. And, and they also, so my conversations have. Kind of focused on that broad. I think that's a really good feeling. But also then on a couple of very specific things. One. That I tried to get. Some read on was the facial recognition. And at this point, no one is using it. There are, there is some facial recognition in body cameras and stuff, but it's not the kind of technology we're talking about here. So I think that's a really good feeling. And I think that's a really good feeling with that, because no one is using it now anyway at that, that type of facial recognition. The deadlines that we put on for reports, there are. Some of them seem to be quite unreasonable. And given the amount of work that they're the council. And is particularly the council, but also DPS is going to have to do. And so I think that the general agenda that we've had. Have been. Around how those reports might be generated. Many of them are already addressed by the executive order. And so people are working on them. For the executive order, which will be. Presented sometime in October. For an example of that is when we asked for the AG's office to convene a group to talk about community oversight or community review or whatever we want to call it. DPS and the council are already, they're already looking at that and they're working with the AG's office. And the reason we put AG in charge of that I think was because primarily of Julio Thompson who has done a lot of work in that area. I have tried to convince them that we don't really care who convenes the meeting to do the report. If DPS or the council or whoever gets together a group and works with the AG's office and other groups personally, I don't know about the rest of you but personally I don't care who convened the meeting and who kind of felt in charge of it to come up with the report. If the report comes up with some recommendations that's I think that's what we want and we tried to include the groups that should be worked with and DPS they are going to be working with community groups because they hired ATON to very specifically make sure that community groups were consulted and involved in the process of all these reports. And as far as deadlines. If we have a deadline of January 15, and they come in and say, you know, we just, we could not complete this report by January 15. I'm not, I'm not going to. I don't know about you but I think that if they come in with a progress report that's what we want. We want people working on these. I'm not, Betsy Anne, did you. Yeah, just related to what you just said the language in the bill and this was as past the Senate also was that that January 15 deadline was on their progress in regard to the following topics including any recommendations for legislative action so I think it could be read as a progress report on how things are going. Okay, that's so that's there and then the other one around the dispatch fees. I think that's something we have to address again next year, but I quite honestly don't want that to kill this whole bill. So, if the house accepts it. I think that's a good suggestion as we accepted and then I told Commissioner Sherling that we'll work with him next year on on that issue. So I don't know where, but here, let me just throw this out too because I, I, I know that we need to make changes. There's a lot that needs to happen. But I also know that people have been working on this for a long time and have been trying that the Council and Sherling and people have been working in the right direction and working on the assumption of the 21st century policing guidelines. And my fear is that as we try to micromanage too much that people. That's Jennifer Morrison right in Burlington, and Gunny Fitzgerald in Bravo. And how much of their retirement was due to this I don't know but my fear is that we will lose the really good people who are working to go in the direction that we're, we want them to go and that many, many law enforcement to go and that will lose those good people and end up with not such sympathetic people to our positions. So I just I had to throw that out because I think this is an issue that we need to take seriously so anyway, I just wanted to share what I've been hearing and what I've been talking with about to the Commissioner and Chief Brackell and some other people so so there you have it. It's all I had to say, Brian. Madam chair. I'm fine with the change about the facial recognition. I find with the change in date. But I still feel strongly enough about the chair, having to be selected from non law enforcement people that I can't support the amendment that the houses. You guys can go ahead and make it for one if you want but I just I feel strongly enough. Yeah, and I understand that I think that the more I think about it, I, it's okay with me, because you have the, the chair would be working really closely with the executive director of the Academy. I think that's the chair and the director would have to be working together, and the director, the ED of the Academy is going to be a law enforcement person. So you will have that kind of that kind of balance and I think the fear is that if you had both positions being law enforcement, that you might have been a law enforcement people on the council might be feel intimidated. So, but I understand your concern. Anybody else, Betsy. Oh, Anthony was Betsy saying goodbye. Yeah, okay. Thank you Betsy. Anthony. I just wasn't sure where you're coming where you're going when talked about the dispatch fees. You say that they wish they shouldn't be in the bill that department should not be in the bill or just where you're going. Remember we had in the we had in there that the they would do it by rulemaking and they would set the fees and then there would be this. What do you call it gradually setting the getting the fee so that it wasn't a cliff so that towns were. And the house changed it so that they. They have to work with all these different groups around setting the fees, and then it has to come back to the legislature to approve the fees. And so it's a much longer. And complicate more complicated, more, much more complicated and longer and. That's what they don't like. Yeah, they feel that that is micromanaging them. Okay, I was just, that's fine. Yeah. I think we can whoever is here next year can address that again and figure out how to make it less cumbersome. Sure. Yeah, in your conversations with law enforcement did they feel they had adequately been able to make their case for that in the house go box. It's interesting because there's a lot of stuff right now aimed at law enforcement and ours is probably the least is making the least changes and the least demands. And so the in the house, it got all mixed up also with s 119. Right, which is the use of force bill and. And I think they felt they really didn't weren't able to have input there, although some House members will tell you that they had too much input. So it's just. But I think they didn't say they didn't have time to weigh in on that they that particular issue. I'm just curious if they felt they'd been heard, because that would be concerning if they hadn't been able to make their case for keeping it as it was with us. Yeah. And I can see, I guess both sides of it. The legislature usually approves fees in the fee bill. Other fees, but this is a little bit different. And I think they already have a fee schedule that they think is a fair fee schedule and are looking to finalize it and then go through the rulemaking process. So anyway, dispatch continues to be a thorny path for us to navigate law enforcement in general, I think is a thorny path. And because we have such a bizarre system, non system. Yes, our past work doesn't help. Anyway, that's where it is. So I'm, I'm hoping that the House will approve the changes. And Ryan, you're okay with the other changes, right? Just not that one. Yes. So when we report it, we can say that the committee was unanimous on all the changes except for that one section. And that's why the vote was. Is that fair? Yeah. Okay. And then I'm hoping that the governor will sign it. Yeah, so I guess that's my other question about law enforcement.  No, I don't, I think they're frustrated in general, whether this bill suffers because of it. And I do understand their frustration in general and I, it's, it's a really hard issue and some of the things that we're doing I think are, are not the right things to do but not in this bill, I didn't mean, but they're frustrated and you know, who would, who would want to go into law enforcement today and who would want to stay in there. And so I, I, I think this is a real fear that will lose good people who are working in the direction of making the changes that we want them to make. True, true that. And I hate to see that, but yeah, it's. Some of the best people I think in a way can be most sensitive to the claims against the worst. And it wears them out more than the people that you would hope would change their ways. Yeah. Yeah. That's not what we do about that except that we just keep plugging away. Well, I mean to your point I'm just thinking where is rather late but I don't know if they, and maybe it's more for next year or maybe it's conversations we all have during the. Wait, during the off session, and that is, you know, to reach out in positive ways to law enforcement so they're hearing something more than just us picking on, you know, all well intention but they hear some positive things about what they're doing more than just always hearing about, well, could you make this better. I mean, no writer for instance lights only to get edits on their work they would like to hear that someone's appreciating what they already wrote even if the edits could improve the book you know. Well, and to that and in terms of what we can do Chris. I believe Matt Birmingham at least the commander and our barracks in the Royalton barracks are reaching out to their towns and going to select boards and and having conversations with them. And I think that's happening statewide. Maybe I'm wrong maybe it's just here in Windsor County, but I, I encourage us all to be in touch with our commanders of the barracks and and try and go to some of those meetings with them and and support, you know, support their efforts to, you know, open dialogue with their communities that they represent. And with local PDs and sheriffs also. Yeah, but I know specific I was. This is a specific effort and I believe Matt that that it statewide but I maybe it's you know I'm pretty sure it is but anyway, we can find out. Yeah, well, I think that and Chris is right that it would be. I've been trying to do that in my conversations.  Yeah, it's hard to keep a positive attitude and not want to just jump ship. So, and even if it's not how terrible you are but just you could do better here you could do better there you could do better there like sometimes people like to be acknowledged for what they're already doing. They're doing well, you know, I see the police blotter and I, it reminds me of, you know, how many crimes and stuff these guys are still in the background, you know, we're not hearing about over there. They're still living with a lot of, you know, crime all over the state, still doing their job. And so, well, I don't want it's easy to forget that part. Like the, the commissioner told us, and he re emphasized this in judiciary the other day that in 2019 there were 115,000 events with just the Vermont State police in. And that meant that they had contact with in each of the in those events with about 300,000 people 300,000 people 115,000 events. And in only 183 of them was anything beyond compliant handcuffing used. So we hear about all the use of force and the terrible actions by them, and yet there were 183 out of 115,000. And there was any resulted in an action more than being handcuffed. Compliant handcuffed. Yeah. So that that isn't a very high number of them having to use. I mean, it's still a lot. And maybe some of that went way beyond where it should have, but that's anything beyond compliant handcuffing. Well, that was 2019. Well, that's a lot, that's actually a lot of events. That's people calling you for everything from things they're suspicious of to actual things that are happening. And that's just the Vermont State police. Then you have all the local and all the sheriff so. And we didn't get numbers on those but anyway, I don't mean to get so preachy, but I'm very concerned about this. So anyway, Brian. So in another matter, I just heard from the administration that the house has not concurred with the Senate on the budget. And is going to go to a conference committee apparently. Not really. That's what I heard. That doesn't surprise me. We were. There were some pretty major differences. Well, that just keeps us here another. Who knows how long. My guess is they'll resolve them fairly quickly. We might be here till Saturday. Is that what you're thinking. I don't, I don't know that's true. No. I just wanted to let you know what I heard. I just wanted to let you know what I heard. I just wanted to let you know that the two chairs can have an extra meeting. Accelerate our progress. Jane, Jane said yesterday that kitty is so happy. Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you, Brian. All right. So. I assume that we would probably end up there just because. I don't know that just as we walked through it. It was very clear. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the exact differences in, in the, where we ended up on money. See, I didn't think there were that many. I thought they were all minor. So is it what I know? Yeah. An economic development, not minor. I mean, there's some pretty major different amounts and stuff. So committee. If we don't get, if we get one. We may not need to meet tomorrow. Because. Are you getting ready to make an unannouncement? No, I'm not. I'm not ready to make an unannouncement. But if, if. Whatever they pass over to us, unless it's very different. Then what it is now. We will concur. Four to one with the understanding that. All of the differences were acceptable. To all of us, except for one. And if we do that. I don't know that we need to. Meet again at all. Do we? Oh. Unless they do something with 354. What is 354? That's our emergency. Our, our lessons. Yes. Where are they with our lessons? Bill. I don't know. Where are they with our 10 pilot towns, Bill? Well, I asked about that earlier. I know. It'll die. Well, we'll just have to do it again. Yeah. No, that's a good question. If you and Sarah talked about, obviously you must have talked about the lessons learned bill. Yeah, but they were so busy with 124. And they also were. Involved with one 19, which I didn't quite understand. I didn't understand. I didn't understand. I didn't understand. I didn't understand the course bill. And in the Senate, it's just in judiciary. We didn't do it at all. But they were, they also did that. So. Okay. Well, thank you. It's a. Okay. Well, we may, we may need to do, do we need to do a formal vote? Or is this sort of our vote on 124? If it all sugars down the way you're expecting. Yeah. If you would like to do a formal vote on it and then. I think. Okay. I mean, we don't exactly, I think it's premature in that we don't actually know what. Yeah. We don't need a vote. You're just concurring or not concurring with the House proposal amendment. Right. And if it is as it. As it seems that it's going to be. Then we will concur four to one with the understanding that. And then we'll have to. We'll have to. We'll have to. All five of us agreed. Except on one issue. Right. Okay. But if it changes considerably, then we'll have to. Yeah. Do something else. And then. So we should watch and see if we need to meet. Tomorrow. For either that or. 354. Great. We will hang. Okay. For tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Are we back in the floor at one normal time? Or are we starting earlier? No. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Right. Thank you.

And now moving on to the nation, newspapers. Ibuho appears in court for immigration-related offenses. Also, agitator expected back in Kotunu Court. Wives German passport released. Autumn opposes bill to gag media. And also banditry worrisome, says Buhari. Gunmen in police uniform kill five cops at checkpoint. Also on the nation this morning. Council Paul, Liga's government restricts movement. Only 1.7% of 3.7 billion vaccines administered in Africa. And 40 refinery licenses not in use. That's also on the nation news sweepers this morning. I think I can squeeze in one in. Military wounds condone violence, secession, agitation. CDS warns. Those are the big ones on the nation. Let's quickly look at the daily trust. Colorado here is making the headlines. Colorado kills 325 afflicts 14,343 in six months. And the death toll rises as outbreaks spreads to more states. APC says we won't impose presidential candidates for 2023. Military says it's not our duty to stop agitations. And we'll also see this one. St. Federal government fails to file extradition charges. Has been in court. Let's say good morning to our guests. Chief lecturer and during the Institute of Journalism, Mr. Jede Johnson. Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. And it's a pleasure to be to be with you. Thank God. It's Friday once again. Yeah, we bless the name of the Lord for keeping us till this day. And then it's Friday. Like you said, thank God. It's Friday. Let's start with the issue of people and where we see where a nation sound was arrested on immigration charges based on what was presented before the court. And it has appeared before the court. The judicial process is taking place. Rule of law is in place. And we are seeing exchanges. And we have seen that the wife has been released from by the courts. And his passport has been released back to her. Let's play that scenario in Nigeria. Let's look at the Al-Zazaki, Ishim in Cardinal. His wife and himself still in custody to date. We don't know when the next court appearance will be. And they sit with that written on this canon. We don't even know the facts of the case. Like I said, last week until we get to the court, when we get to the court, the Ishim no longer in the hands of the government, is now left for the judicial processes. And the judicial process will take its due course. It's like the body of proof lies with the prosecution, which happens to be the government, against whoever is their accused. And that tells you that the state of rule of law in Nigeria and the state of rule of law in the public opinion, that it's about process is, someone is a judge, not guilty of it. It's proven by law of confidentiality. And that's our normal society. That's our democratic society. That's a sovereign nation. And a nation that operates within the ambit of the rule of law and fundamental human rights of the citizenry. That's written. When do we talk about the rule of law? There are three fundamental principles that govern the rule of law. And just for us to just explain, so that some of us will ask them, it's about the supremacy of the constitution, that the constitution is supreme, of that in any given state. It talks about the fundamental human rights of people and the equality before the law. Everybody being treated as equal. There's nobody that is above. So these are the tenets of a principle of democracy. A principle of rule of law as I've looked at it, but if I saw it, it'd be nice. So once those are not in place, you can call yourself to be a democratic society. You can call yourself to be a viral egalitarian society whereby people have respect for rule of law. Hopefully the courts will rule, if you treat what happened with the people and with what happened with them, because you see that they are contract, they oppose, they oppose, they oppose apart. Let's wait as this begins to unfold. And then we can draw which comparison and we can take some lessons that we can learn from it in about how to go about effecting arrest and enforcing our laws within our country and even outside the borders of our country and by following the process and common sensical approach to getting things done. If we relate that story to what the chief of defense have said, that it's not the responsibility of the military which is based on the story you read in the daily trial. Yes, to stop agitations. Is to stop agitation. Agitation is a key component part of democratic society. That it's look, the right of freedom of association and freedom of expression. Freedom of expression and freedom of association has given me the right to protest. If I don't feel, if I feel aggrieved about anything, I can go to the floor of the National Assembly, I can go to the front of, people protest in front of White House, people protest in front of the Congress in the United States of America. We even saw someone that was aggrieved, that slapped, he took it to the extreme, that slapped the French president. It was not shot. In actual sense, the president sent for him and asked him, why did you slap me in the first instant? And the guy told him, it was not premeditated. As you are just approaching me, I felt aggrieved about your policies and program. And the court process took its due course. The guy was prosecuted through the court. The president of France did not intervene. The state security did not intervene. He was prosecuted and he was sent to deal, to face the consequences of his action, his act of aggression and criminality. So agitation does not support criminality, it does not support aggression. But everyone, for a democratic society to be virile, everyone must have a right to have his say. And that's the beauty of democracy. Now, let's relate that story with another story, with NMPC, NMPC saying that the subsidized petroleum product with over $245 billion in six months, who are they deceiving? Are they deceiving themselves or they are deceiving us? We've been told over and over time, all we just need to do is to do counter-analysis of newspaper report in the last 20 years and look at the issue of petroleum subsidy and then we'll know who is deceiving who. That is subsidized petroleum product for $245 billion in six months. And then there's another story in daily trust that 40 refineries and not licenses have been granted for people to start refinery and 40 licenses have been granted, license have been granted. Out of those licenses granted, 40 are not used. One, two, three, two, 40 are not used. And what are they doing with it? So we will know that there's a systematic attempt to prevent refineries from running in Nigeria so that people that claim to be Spanish for subsidizing of petroleum product in Nigeria will continue to cash out and cash in on Nigerians because all of us are going to sleep and they are doing that a week, like a typical popular song in Nigeria, M2 Sulogo, M2 Gilugopay. So they are taking advantage of Nigerians out of our share ignorance. Who is subsidizing who? We'll let the story to the price of cooking gas. You said the price of cooking gas has gone up to $500 per kg. So where is the subsidy? I'm actually, where is the subsidy? Okay, Mr. Jedeh Johnson, let's go to the punch newspaper. There's a story here on the punch that says that Reeds will not stop Nigerians from using Twitter. Federal government tells court. Now, this was because a lawyer in Ebe Efeong took this matter to court, saying it was a breach of human rights for the federal government to stop Nigerians from expressing their freedom on social media. But the Attorney General of the Federation, went on to sign an affidavit to say that they had not stopped Nigerians from using social media and that, in fact, many Nigerians are still using it. How did you tie this to earlier state member of the federal government on June 4th, 2021, that social media, especially Twitter, actually had been suspended and, you know, threats by the Attorney General of the Federation that people who are still using social media will be persecuted and that they will know their offense when they're charged to court. You see, you test the decisions and actions of government under the constitutionality of the law of your Federation and until we test it by that, we will not strengthen this democracy. I want to appreciate that lawyer that I put. Some of us have recruited that government does not have the right. They did not within the ambit of any section 22 of 1999 constitution as amended in section 36 of 1999 constitution as amended provided for you to use any platform to give expression to your thoughts and even under the fundamental human rights, the freedom of expression of your thoughts is there. So until the actions of government are challenged by court and as we are missing the likes of Ghanifa, I mean, in this present democratic experience, you think that you are gutting and I hope that space is being filled by this young lawyer that is taking government to court concerning. Even on the issue of electronic voting, you remember I said it that, if you take it to court, the federal government will lose because they don't know you can make, that is not court. Any law that you make, any bill that you pass, that is inconsistent with the constitution will be let down on a boy. So we need to approach the court.  We are not a monarchy government whether you rule by proclamation of the king or the queen. So because the king said so, it becomes that. Or we are not an authoritarian society. Because you occupy certain positions of authority, the pronouncement becomes law. No, it doesn't. It doesn't make any sense. Until we begin to challenge the actions in court, just like this young man is doing, we're not strengthening our democracy. And I think that we are seeing that if the foreign general could be produced and at that very court and say that federal government, because where is the instrument? Let's put it in perspective. Where is the instrument that the federal government used to ban Twitter? Where is the instrument? I personally gave myself pristulence of the question and I asked them to write their Twitter handle and all their social media handle and I went into the hall and they said, you know what? Federal government has banned Twitter. I said, we are telling you to be journalists. Tell me the instrument. Yeah, I deliberately put it in the question to test your intelligence or your knowledge. Now, tell me the instrument that the federal government has used to ban Twitter other than the pronouncement. And as a journalist, you take a pronouncement of someone in authority and you take it, then you are not supposed to be journalists. You are not fit to be a custodian to be the watchdog. You are not fit under the 99 conditions to be government accountable because that's the second part of section 22 of 9. Is that your own government accountable? You are doing the right to be the watchdog as the foreign state of the land. So beyond the lawyers are going to the court. We as journalists are also at home in society to give them a truthful account of what happens in this. That's a good responsibility that is placed on us. And as I let you the kind of book community let me just tell you something. The kind of book community that said they are not voting and they can't support because their votes are bad. I think we should take it forward. You know, elections are coming. People should book up the election and take a moment to do something in an area. We are not. Just imagine if it's a government election and more than to talk about the communities that don't have votes that don't have anything. Since they are not voting that means that there can't be an election. There won't be but no winner will declare until we take the bull by the hand. The responsibility thinking and addressing the hand will have democracy. All right, quickly also share your thoughts on the story on the Daily Sun. It says death toll in terror attacks rises to 3,103 months. And of course, I want you to put that side by side with the announcement. It's not in the news this morning but the announcement of Nigeria receiving its six super Tucano jets. This is similarly our report card with regards to our fights against terror and the ability to protect Nigerian lives. 3,103 months doesn't look good. One life. Even one life lost. Just one life lost. Do you know what if an American is sticking us and no stage in Nigeria do you know what America will deploy? That's the major reason we ask. What's the value of Nigerian life? What's the value? Of what value does government place on my life, on your life? Look at the state of our infrastructure. If you drive across the length and breadth of Nigeria it's a dead trap waiting to happen. We are just looking at those ones on terror attack. Just because of the state of the road you look at people that died by accident. Enough in Nigeria you'll be shown at the numbers. So essentially government don't really care about us. Because the economy is not about putting, it's not about buying and dozing. Those arms and ammunition is also about putting a structure and a system in place. A system to fight terrorism. But when you have a system that rewards criminality when you have a system that placed in service calling terrorist bandits calling terrorist insurgents it's about changing the narrative it's about still giving those people the ability to move globally. Because when they declare a group as terrorist group they have entered a naturalized zone. They are citizens of no nation. They are nationless.  Then government has failed in its responsibility with major responsibility to protect the lives and property of the citizens here to protect the territorial integrity the territorial integrity of its country do you even have territorial integrity? We have the situation where the flag of ISA ISAWAP was placed in DJ we have the situation in the North East, in Bono and UB we have situations in the North West in Zamfara in Zamfara states where people have have sent people away from their from their ancient home because they are exploring our solid minerals. Look the bottom line is very simple until we value what is a Nigerian life then there's no basis for a nation because what defines a nation is its people and what define the constitution of a nation is the people that's why the constitution the opening statement of Nigerian-Nigerian we the people of Nigeria we the people so anything that affects the people affects the nation but the question I ask is that what value do we play on the people of Nigeria our health sector our educational sector our infrastructure our lives even people that we let in office if we are going out now the weeds are going to push us out of the road if it rains now everywhere is flooded there are problems left out and center if we want to construct roads you know I traveled outside of Lagos I returned here on Monday and then I spent one hour between the long no two hours between the long bridge in Beghar to before Beghar to Beghar two hours just because they are constructing routes further government of Nigeria and the state government we stay two hours of my life that's mean our life is measured in terms of time two hours I've been taking away from my life because when the time comes I'll die because our life is measured in time in terms of seconds minutes our days that's our life is measured and anyone that takes your time and that waste your time is wasting your life and that's our federal government and state government through the foolish infrastructure programs they see they do waste Nigerian lives do you know what I mean if someone if you are taking someone to their street too do you know maybe people have died because they are constructing roads and they didn't provide the alternative that have died inside traffic and we just take it as normal so those three thousand lives is just is just a sample of the entire population of Nigerians that have died out of carelessness and failure of government to do its responsibility based on its consular provision that it will protect our lives and property All right Mr. Ajida Johnson and all thank you very much where we have to wrap it here Chief Lecturer Nigerian Institute of Journalism NIJ thank you very much and have a great weekend Thank you very much it's a pleasure to be with you All right we will now go back in time I'm going back to the end 1968 to tell you about a hijacking do stay with us


The tenders know what they're doing on this dive as far as shackling in the umbilicals. We're still going to do that even though it looks like the current is not too bad. We're still going to follow the same procedure whether there's probably current somewhere down in the water column so we'll try to keep this stage wire right up next to the ship so it's easier for you guys to hook them up to look for O2 toxicity. Once again divers it goes for anybody during this op. If that stage starts to move and you're at your 50 or 40 foot O2 stop and it starts to move give us okays if you're okay. If you're not okay stay hold and we'll stop. We'll figure it out from there. Keep a good grab yourself and if your buddy's having a problem take a hold of him. If it looks like he's having a problem then you need to report it. Don't wait for him because he might not be able to. All right in the up and over phase we get the stage back on deck. We've got the benches nice and closed so we can set the divers down undressed for 30 times. We're going to be walking right through here.  Tenders ensure your EGS valve is closed. No such things waterproof. Roger that.  Grab a hold of his harness. Over going straight to 20 feet give me depth every five. Divers going up and over going straight to 20 feet give me okays all the way. Hold that. Blue it out. Down two. That's it. Perfect. Your surface checks let me know all the rigs. We're going to get them down on the stage.


Okay, so today is November 4th, 2020 and we're going to take a look at our... I just got done posting my Insiders Club private chat on two different pages that I own. My personal page and N5D page. So I'm going to continue on to here. Number one, look at this. Isn't this shady and deceptive? You can't even see where it says to post anymore. Even if you hover over it, you can barely read where it says post right here. So they're hiding the ability for people to post. What are you going to do? Where are you going to click? Just enter. That doesn't work. So yeah, it is there. You can't post, but they're hiding it. This is Facebook, obviously. And look, here we go again. You've been restricted from accessing some of your Facebook features. What did I do? Why was I restricted for posting a private event? This is what I posted tonight at 7 p.m. for Patreon subscribers of 555+. This month's N5D Insiders Club private chat, I sent you the link via Patreon. See you there. And Facebook restricted me for that. Obviously, they know I'm not liberal. I'm not conservative either. I stand in the vibration of truth, love, and light. What's right? What is right? And Donald Trump is right. Joe Biden is shaky, he's shifty. They know that. So they're silencing my voice. Yesterday I got restricted as well. Look at this. Three different times. They extended the time from where I would be restricted. It started at until Friday at 11.23. And then I posted again. They extended the restriction ban until 1.42 of Friday. And then when I posted the third time, they did it once again. And then here we are today. One day later, they're doing that again. So why are they restricting me? Good question. You're temporarily restricted from joining and posting two groups that you do not manage until Saturday. Why? Why am I restricted? I simply posted to my own pages. And why am I restricted? I simply posted to my own pages and groups about a Patreon event. How does this go against Facebook's terms of service? It doesn't. Once again, this falls under election interference. I'll let you know that these restrictions had been recorded live on my end to be used as evidence of voter interference and shadow banning. So yeah, once again, I caught Facebook in the process of shadow banning and voter interference against me. So this has been recorded. Today is November 4th, 2020, Wednesday, 5.41 pm. My name is Greg Prescott from n5d.com. And I'll be back to report more on this.


CHAPTER XXIII Now these be the last words of David. And the man who was raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel said, The spirit of the Lord spake by me, And his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, The rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, When the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds, As the tender grass springing out of the earth By clear shining after rain. Although my house be not so with God, Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and sure, For this is all my salvation and all my desire, Although he may get not to grow. But the sons of Belial shall be all of them As thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands. But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear, And they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. These be the names of the mighty men whom David had, The Tefmanite that sat in the seat, Chief among the captains. The same was Adino the Esnite. He lift up his spear against eight hundred, Whom he slew at one time. And after him was Eliezer, the son of Dode the Ahoheit, One of the three mighty men with David, When they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, And the men of Israel were gone away. He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, And his hand clave unto the sword, And the Lord wrought a great victory that day, And the people returned after him only to spoil. And after him was Shama, the son of Agi, the Harorite, And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, Where was a piece of ground full of lentils, And the people fled from the Philistines. But he stood in the midst of the ground and defended it, And slew the Philistines, And the Lord wrought a great victory. And three of the thirty chief went down and came to David in the harvest time Unto the cave of Adelum, And the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Refaim. And David was then in an hold, And the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. And David longed and said, Oh, that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, Which is by the gate. And the three mighty men break through the host of the Philistines, And drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, That was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David. Nevertheless, he would not drink thereof, But poured it out unto the Lord. And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruayel, Was chief among three, And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, And slew them, and had the name among three. Was he not most honorable of three? Therefore he was their captain, How be it he attained not unto the first three. And Benaiah, the son of Jehoira, The son of a valiant man, Of Kabzil, who had done many acts, He slew two line like men of Moab. He went down also, and slew a line In the midst of a pit in time of snow.  These things did Benaiah, the son of Jehoira, And had the name among three mighty men. He was honorable more than the thirty, But he attained not to the first three, And David set him over his guard. And Asahel, the brother of Joab, was one of the thirty. Alhanan, the son of Dodo of Bethlehem. Shama, the herodite. Alika, the herodite. Hellas, the paltite. Ira, the son of Ikesh, the techoite. Abiza, the anethothite. Mebunai, the hushethite. Zalmon, the ahoite. Mahara, the nettothite. Hele, the son of Bana, a nettothite. Itai, the son of Ribeye, Adavgibiye, of the children of Benjamin. Bunai, the pyrethonite. Hidai, of the brooks of Ghash. Abilbon, the arbothite. Aznavet, the bahumite. Alaiba, the shalbunite of the sons of Jashon, Jonathan. Shama, the herorite. Ahem, the son of Shara, the herorite. Alifelet, the son of Ahazbi. The son of the Markothite. Eliam, the son of Ahithophel, the gillonite. Hezra, the camalite. Parai, the arbite. Aigor, the son of Nathan, of Zoba. Berni, the gadite. Zelec, the ammonite. Nahari, the birothite. Armabirah, to Joab, the son of Ziraia. Ira, an ithite. Garab, an ithrite. Uriah, the hittite. Thirty and seven in all. And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. For the king said to Joab, the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan, even to Bishiba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people. And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto the people, How many soever they be, and hundredfold, And that the eyes of my Lord the king may see it. But why doth my Lord the king delight in this thing? Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host, and Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king to number the people of Israel. And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Uruah, on the right side of the city, that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and towards Jazer. Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tatem Hodji, and they came to Danjan, and about to Zidon, and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites, and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Bishiba. So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days, and Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men. And David's heart smirked him after that he had numbered the people, and David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done, and now I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly. For when David was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David's ear, saying, Go and say unto David, thus sayeth the Lord, I offer thee three things, choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land, or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee, or that there be three days pestilence in thy land? Now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait, let us fall now into the hand of the Lord, for his mercies are great, and let me not fall into the hand of man. So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan even to Besheba, seventy thousand men. And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, it is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing place of Arona, the Jebusite. And David spoke unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Let thine hand I pray thee be against me and against my father's house. And Gad came that day to David and said unto him, Go up, rear and alter unto the Lord in the threshing floor of Arona, the Jebusite. And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded. And Arona looked and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him.  And Arona said, Wherefore is my Lord the king come to a servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor of thee to build an altar unto the Lord that the plague may be staged from the people. And Arona said unto David, Let my Lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him. Behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood. All these things did Arona as a king give unto the king. And Arona said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee. And the king said unto Arona, Nay, but I will surely buy it of thee at a price. Neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. And David built there an altar unto the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was entreated for the land and the plague was staged from Israel.
