Bitcoin Is Optimism With Alex Gladstein
"Well, for many of you, Alex gladstone needs no introduction. He's the chief strategy officer at the human rights foundations, and one of the clarion voices helping bitcoiners understand see and experience how Bitcoin is impacting communities around the world, especially those who are living inside unstable monetary regimes or under autocratic power. It was another amazing year of Alex's writing and contributing to our understanding of Bitcoin. And in this conversation we talk about his experience at the Africa Bitcoin conference, his recent time in India, and why so much of the energy around Bitcoin is coming from emerging markets and the developing world. All right, Alex, welcome back to the breakdown sir. How are you doing? Great, happy to be here. Happy holidays. You too, you too. Listen, I'm always excited to chat with you. And I think this year is a particularly opportune time to reflect on the year that was in Bitcoin in particular. And you obviously have been out there kind of living exploring and discovering Bitcoin and all of its various manifestations. So I'm really excited to chat. And by way of starting really, really broad. If you had to summarize Bitcoin's year in 2022, what would you say? Well, for me, it was global adoption. And I think that continues in 2023. I've seen stuff that, you know, that you people wouldn't believe. It's true. Especially when I went down to the African Bitcoin conference in Ghana, just staggered by the variety of communities and businesses and entrepreneurs and innovators and developers. Building on Bitcoin and focusing on Bitcoin from countries that like most Americans don't even know exist. I mean, it's really just incredible. Meeting people from Somaliland and Benin and Cameroon and DR Congo. And people coming to this conference and then going home to cities like Mogadishu where they're going to continue to work on their projects was pretty mind-blowing. I mean, it's safe to say that in all the world's most crazy conflict zones and dictatorships, there are thriving Bitcoin communities.

"It's looking at this article as I say as my nation's original sin, Biden offers Africa 55 billion, gets marked by African leader. I think we have a clip of that. Let me see if we have that clip.

That's why over the next three years, working in close cooperation with the United States Congress, we plan to commit $55 billion in Africa to advance the priorities we share and to support the agenda 2063. That number represents a comprehensive commitment from the United States to invest in Africa's people, Africa's infrastructure, Africa's agriculture, Africa's health system, Africa's security, and more. Now, the virtue signal is vicious. Because you're talking about the biggest continent on Planet Earth. What part of Africa? You're going to get 55 billion. Some of that going to go to South Africa? Or is it going to go to Cameroon, Africa?

Yeah, I was not expecting that either. She was trying to tell you what a fast lady she is. Right. So she moved home. He went back to Cameroon. Because they both wanted to come to the U.S.. Right. So why couldn't he say in China then? I thought he was living in China. Maybe he had some kind of Visa. Okay. So she went, or maybe he was internationally underwear modeling. I will say, I love how ecstatic he was when he found out that she was pregnant. That was real. That was cute. So she said that she wants to remind us that she used to go for bad boys and two of her exes are in jail. Wow, guess what? Four of my exes are okay, but this is what I want to know.

"Them so far Tatum, or our expectations just a little too high. I don't think they're too high because I don't think they have to play that well. It's not one of the best Egyptian sides that we've seen for many years, but the fighters are still in the semifinal. They find the ways to grind out results to just grind out performances in some ways. So going into this game, they go in and is the underdog, and Cameroon are a whole. What Cameron also I've had so much pressure. When you look at Egypt and if won the tournament 5 times before, they have one of the best players in the world in Mohamed Salah. And then we'll organize but I think for me if Cameroon sort of set the tempo, but I think it's still playing to their strengths, but the fact is, you know, when it comes down to Egypt, you live right there by accident, and it can Soco pressure, and if it can give the ball to someone like sala, as we saw in the quarter's final, you can make a big, big difference. It's going to be a really, really exciting game. And I think you'll ever get sort of fun. It's going to be a good match up for Senegal. Scenario bust is it? That simple. Yeah. With all questions. And every time I've seen Egypt play this tournament, that's exactly what I thought. If you could somehow stifle Mohamed Salah, I just don't feel they have enough fire power going forward. But then they come up against Morocco in the last round and North African dub. And I thought that was easily. He just best performance of the tournament. And I just wonder how much emotion of that job as I spoke about. Played into Egypt's house because I just felt that Salah aside. They have been that disappointing. In this tournament up to this point. So right now, despite the issues I've come to have that native is discussing, I just feel at home, they got the job done. They'll be goals in it. For both sides, but I feel Cameroon are the one who got to equipped to school three four. Interesting, you use the word pressure there, of course, is how you say it's always extra fresh you need them in these sort of ties. Yeah, there is the certainly is but then I think one of the players were saying they're trying to find the positives within the pressure because they know that everyone in stadiums rooting for them. They do have a rich history. I think they've won the tournament 7 times. But playing at home, it's a different matter. But if they can score that first goal, the atmosphere be incredible. As you see in the build up to the game's atmosphere is really great. The funds are in there during the warm up, they're wearing their colors and it's exciting. Yeah. But, you know, at the end of the day, easier it's going to go out there and try and stifle that. But I think there's a reason why Cameroon are favorites to make it to the final. And as I say, once that crowd gets going, it's great. And also.

"With regards to assists all goals. Stevie, I think this is weird, isn't it for barsa? I don't get it. Oh, no. I'm sorry to be very negative today, but again, I don't understand this whatsoever. At least if he had gone to Tottenham, contemplate somewhat of a counter attack game, which means that you use a Thomas pace. Barcelona don't do that. They don't play attacking football. And that doesn't suit. So what's he going to do to help them? I'm sorry. I have absolutely no understanding of why they would sign this guy. For the team that actually have to be very careful spending any sort of money. They go and buy a guy that they just don't need and I don't see how he held them at all. He's online and brought him out right, but Don overall, what do you make of this? So this one is a funny one done because like I think Steve is alluding to when Barcelona have so much possession. You know, you'd like to think when they're pushing teams back, that doesn't suit a damage role because he's a strength is pace and what he's taking players on one V one. Well, if teams defend deep against Barcelona, he's got no room to try and work and he's got no room to try and take his man on, get to the byline foot crosses in. I can only think it's deployed from javi to add more speed. The Ferran Torres in, because I always thought barcelo over the last 18 months looked a little bit slow. I had lots of players in midfield. There are lots of guys that played at the top end of the pitch that all come looking towards the ball that no one that could really go in behind a very pace. So again, I think this is one of them where you might sit on the bench and you might start some games, but only when I think faster or in a little bit of trouble, they might use them because if they're pushing to use back on their score and one or two and they're comfortable as a set of tactically, it doesn't really suit them..

"Stevie, and the question I suppose is quite simple to ask if neither arsenal or spurs make any signings between now and the end of the transfer window, how does that affect their chances of qualifying for the Champions League? Absolutely huge. Absolutely huge. I'm so in and how you gain fire. And you have to think that that has that's going to happen. But if it doesn't, then you'd have to say, then they can't do it. I would have suggested, you know, Luis DS, for example, would have made a big difference for them because this guy will score some goals. So he would have kept ten. Could they say? I mean, he's only got 6 goals in the last two years and clearly are. Don't need another player like him. You need a playmaker for a start. If they get a playmaker that will actually supply hurricane, then maybe Harry Kane as I think will will start scrolling goals if you don't shine anybody, which it does look like and how we can stop playing like Harry Kane, then that means that they don't get that full spot. Dawn, if nobody signs anybody, who's finishing fourth. I still think man united, I think I've been pretty consistent. I think when I talk about the individuals and I loosely said galacticos last week I just meant the standard of players that the managers got to work with, even if they don't turn up and then they don't fancy the manager, I still look at them and I still think, you know, you can rattle off all the names like we've done yourself think they can turn on against anyone. So I think if no one brings in any silence as it stands at the moment, I would lean towards man united. Meanwhile, of course, spurs were chasing animal Toure apparently from wolves. He's gone to Barcelona on loan. That has been confirmed returning to Catalonia, of course we know all know about his pace, hasn't really backed it up though when it comes to what he provides.

"Cake is pathetic. I wonder how Alvaro morata feels about it, although of course suggestions now that he has surplus to requirements, and he's been hawked around to collapse in cloning arsenal in the Premier League, of course, he's been to England before. Didn't exactly dominate when he was at Chelsea. Stevie and Don with us Don, if you were also how hard would you push to get the Spanish striker? I think you'd push a little bit, bro I wouldn't have thought if you're arsenal, you'd blow any sort of budget on him. I don't know where he's gonna play. Obviously you want to play through the middle but is he out like a Z for that number 9 roll? Is he better than lacazette? I'm not too sure. I think if you can get him in long term and you've got a view of lacazette maybe moving on to some other than a sort of make sense but in this window, it doesn't to me. Stevie? They've already got a set of four with a candy score goals. Why would they say another one? I mean, sounds a bit hard, but that's the truth. I mean, there's a reason marathon never sticks anywhere because he's one of those guys that every now and again will show you something and you think, okay, here we go. And then just kind of weather away. So no, I don't think so at all. I think any brains, they try and sort something out with a bamiyan, because he's going to, he's going to be a lead weight around the neck. Nobody's going to pay him what he's getting there. So they have to, they have to get together with him and get him back in the game. Again, back playing. And that wheel built his shoes again between luck is it. And a balmy young and it might fire up the two of them. That's only one of them will start. That's a big ass though isn't it done considering what we've seen from the season and from a bamiyan and Arteta and that relationship so far. What do I still need to do over the next couple of days? Well, I think try and move about me on. I don't think he's got any future whatsoever. I really don't. I think his race has run out. I think Mikhail Arteta had a strong stand last month and rightly so for that young dressing room. We led by accidentally told him his ways weren't good enough. Who do you bring in that front? Because also need goals. Well, they're talking about Alexander issac. They're talking about him who's very good. I've seen him when he was a Dortmund when he was 1819. He had a lot of promise. I think he's coming a long way since then. I think he's a better version than maratha. I think like Stevie said, if you bring maratha in, there's a reason why like Stevie said I wonder if ever marathas got the fire in his belly to really succeed. When you're watching him play and you're watching him in the yard box, you think technically he's very good. He knows where the back of the net is. But when it gets a little bit tough and when you need to carry someone, I'll carry no passengers whatsoever. You're never quite sure before kick off or watching the game if maratha really fancies it. Izak in my opinion, I think he would be the better option. But no, I don't think about me as any future whatsoever arsenal. It's been a frustrating, Chancellor window, hasn't it in North London in general? Also not really bringing anyone in spurs, of course, not either. And you take a look at the fact that Antonio Conte is, well, it's cool to ask it's been linked to a move to spurs Don. Does this make sense for you? It does. I mean, the only contradiction to that is they've got Brian hilu who plays in that right hand side who drifts in on his left. He has no too many starts and all honesty I think cool is asking you to better player. I think he's stronger, I think you would suit the Premier League a lot more. But don't expect coolers ask you to wall sit at Tottenham and start ripping it up and score double figures. He doesn't score too many goals. He's got certainly got potential is a good player. Maybe he's a confidence player. He needs a little bit more self confidence. And maybe the change away from you veil doing good, but to be the answer for Tottenham have got bigger problems than trying to bring in cooler zesty. So let's take a look at the odds of the top four,.

"I think it's important thing why I think this is a good appointment as he knows everything about the Premier League. You know, they've had everybody who's won everything in the game and really didn't do enough a lot for them. So I don't think I don't think he's a mistake bringing in somebody who knows exactly the score and the Premier League. And quite frankly, I think it's all down to can he get his main players in a position where that actually able to step on the field. Because evidence said, it's not brilliant, but it's not, I don't think it's by father was shade and the Premier League. They've been absolutely decimated all year injuries. So if he can get the mainstay of his team on the field regularly between now and the end of the season, I think he'll do fine. I've got all the confidence in. I think it's a good appointment just because not just because but primarily at this stage of the season, Evan, go on, bring somebody in, who knows nothing Premier League. That wouldn't make any sense to me. How big a task is this end on? Well, the short term, Dan, he's got to get him away from anywhere near the relegation zone, because everything in their history have never ever been relegated at the Premier League or the top division. So that's the last place they ever want to be and should be. So as I said before, I think when Graham Sharpe, who is now on the board, I think Tim kale, I think on the border as well and they're sitting down with fire had machine Bill kenwright and they're having the conversation with Frank Lampard and he talks about the young players, as I mentioned before, to try and get them in the side and show that a youth and something fresh with the evertonians want to see. But his remit from now to the end of season is winning off games. It doesn't matter where you finish it. You can try and get top ten amazing 1112 13, whatever it might be, it's not gonna be on Frank's watch but get away from that bottom three and then in the summer with new signings and we've seen far hard bashiri is not shy and putting money in. He spent close to half a billion, so you'd like to think Frank's going to get backed in the summer window, but the first port of call is get away from the relegation zone. That's for sure. Craig, he's not shy and putting money in. He's not shy in making bad decisions as well. And he's not shy, he's not listening to anybody. So that's a problem. But I think this thing for the first time, Craig, I think for the first time and listen, I'm not saying everything's rosy overnight, but I'm starting to see. People like Tim Cahill now have an opinion. I'm starting to see Graeme sharp having an opinion guys that know, you know, guys that know what it's like to play forever and guys that have been around the Premier League and they've got a Premier League voice where I think farhad moshiri, I think he was, in my opinion, as a guy that had the sweet shop I just thought right, I'll get it. I'll have this manager I'll start that one, I'll get another one in, I'll start that one. That's never ever gonna be the way. So now he might start to listen to the guys I've mentioned and hopefully ever now the little bit of stability. Don, there's going to be people watching this going on about Premier League experience when you take a look at the most successful managers at the moment in the Premier League, never coached here before. If you're a good coach and coach anywhere, surely. You can, but I think I'm with Stevie. I think the fit is done. While you're struggling and while you're close to the relegation zone and you're managing a team like Everton, I think it makes more sense to go for someone like Frank than I get to see these point where whoever you're getting is a gamble at this stage because they are flirting and behind the scenes haven't been a disaster for the last 5, ten years. So I get it. I just feel I just feel the appointment with Frank Lampard seems a better fit because you can go in there and keep saying he might get some of these youngsters in Lewis dobbins being very close. Anthony Gordon has been one of Ethan's best players over the last 5 to ten games, I was surprised that Donna Ferguson didn't start him in the last game. And then if you can get one or two players back fit and one or two players in and use his contacts, like I said before, if it's Frank Lampard and he gets to the job, he can go to Chelsea and he could bring in Loftus cheek and he'd bring in Ross Barkley another former Everton player and just get away from that box bottom zone Danner feels better to me than a point in a random foreign manager that you're not sure how he's going to do. Have an ever need two things when the short term that needs something to come in and later fire. And Frank has more than capable of that. Frank's got a better Duncan Ferguson on the old school and he'll have he'll have players filed up. So that's the most important thing for them is a short term. And that's what they need because they have better players in my opinion than the rest of the ones around them. And so once they get sat that sorted, if Graham sharp and ten kir hill could do anything, what they can do is try and steer machinery towards getting somebody who knows what they're doing as far as bringing in players. Because I couldn't tell you who most of these guys are around the Premier League, particularly I can't even remember who as a Liverpool. But I'll tell you what. It doesn't mean he's got a hundred Premier League games behind them or a hundred international cows behind them. They need to do the homework and find somebody who knows what they're doing to spend this money that machine it quite clearly is prepared to spend. So it's two things. Short term, file them up, do what Ferguson does put in all of his shots, bells and get them, get the crowd going as well. And that'll be enough to save them this year. But long term, they need somebody to bring in players that knows what they'll do. And I'm not sure. I see the sharpie at ten kilo. But get going around the wall and find out who you need to bring in. Last word on the suit, Craig? Well, I think that's I think I would go completely opposite way. I think there's club has looked shocked here. Far too often. I know it's Stevie saying, but I for one don't think they're going to be in danger to go down this year. There's enough golf down the bottom of the Premier League, but I think everyone would get enough results, even under Benitez who would have gotten off result in the end. It wouldn't have been pretty. But I just think that all was looking short. And I think you can talk a bit more in the Premier League and not on the Premier League or whatever. Well, most of the players in the Premier League are foreigners now these days. So it's changed. And at the end of the day, what it boils down to here is bad decision making and horrendous recruitment. And until I was going to be I say her higher than fire managers and not really doubling the big table. So he's got a huge job in his hand in the air can bring a few youngsters there and yeah, I can get a few results. What's the bigger picture at this club? It's good recruitment and it's having a long period of vision. And they just don't have Stevie and Don and gray will be staying later on to your tweets today.

"Frank Lampard then on the brink of taking over at Everton, of course, he'll take charge of side currently sits 16th in the table four points clear of the relegation zone, Chelsea with his last appointment, of course, before being sacked in January of last year preceding that success at Derby counter he took them to the championship playoffs. That's what I've come in, shall we? Stevie nickel, Craig Burley and Don archers and Don, this is like Christmas and birthday all at once for you. Everton, the team that you can't see in Frank Lampard, the guy you've stalked for years. Now it's a game. Yeah, I know, it's amazing. I think it's a good appointment Dan to be honest, I think when I was reading the talk Herrera, I was thinking, oh, another gamble from a broad evertonians are not going to be happy. I think of all the guys that were getting interviewed, I think he seems the right fit to me. And I think if I'm the young players at the moment, guys like Nathan Pattinson and Lewis dobbin, Anthony Gordon guys like this where you know Frank's reputation, how many youngsters he tries to bring through, you saw how many he brought through a Chelsea to the young kids that ever not happy with the appointment I would have imagined Dominic Calvert Lewin richarlison. I think he might make a move for maybe Loftus cheek or Ross Barkley because I think ever the struggling, the core I picked up, I think it was a thigh injury in the last game, so they are light in that department. So I think evertonians from how can gauge it on social media, they seem happy with the appointment and so am I well, that's good dong. We're happy. Right appointment, Craig? Well, I'm slightly conflicted here because I don't quite understand why there's another gamble from a broader manager who has one titles of portal and a guy who's managed a couple of clubs and hasn't. So I don't quite understand this foreign gamble ahead of there's no gamble in Frank Lampard. I'm not messing something done. No, it dragged on an interview over in the UK, the manager of it's a Pereira. And he didn't come across quite sincere, but had just come across like there's a little bit desperate for the job. And I just think Frank will be a better fit. I think I know what you're saying. I think you can stick the titles on a bit of paper and you look at the two CVs, you go right surely Pereira would be in a better fit. But I think when you analyze it, what he's got to work with, the guy that's managed in the Premier League and played in the Premier League. I know it's not a necessity. I know it's not the be all and end all, but fit with wise. I think Frank certainly a better fit in my opinion. Steven, before we go to a man who's called in his basement, we all know plenty of people who have great interviews. The old laptop Larry's as I call them. The pitch up and they give all this feeling to the executives and chairmans and boards all fall for it. But end of it, it's about what you do in the field. I'm a little back to that world conflicted. I'm a little conflicted with this because done is a good appointment for Everton this team to have been through the ringer. Marcus Silva was not about manager and he's doing a good job at Phillip now and he done a good job before that, but he was made to look at everyone. Benitez, Martinez with stock that has been there has been others. So I don't know, it's not that one part hasn't done a decent job where he's been. I mean, he died with that finished 6, and that season they got to the playoff final. So they were the final team that squeezed into the playoffs. And Chelsea, it was very good for a long time with a transfer of barn until it went pear shaped. That doesn't necessarily make your bike manager. I mean, look at dean's method Aston value within a great job. They have 5 defeats on the bones. It was sad and he was out. It didn't make him a bad mileage. We didn't do a bad job in a bad run of results. So I'm a little conflicted in terms of, I think it's an exciting announcement for them, but I'm really unsure of which way because of the club this is going to go. Stevie, you said on yesterday show that you felt this was a good appointment. How big a task has he got ahead of him? Like in comparison to Derby and Chelsea, this is a very different kettle of fish you feel. Yeah, listen, you need, first.

"Who are you backing here, Colin? Look, it's hard not to back Senegal just because of the liquid quality they have and the experience, but it goes around you have shown throughout this tournament that they are not slouching. And when you look at how on fancy teams are taking it to the more fancied ones and look at today to this year against them, Burkina Faso, you've got to say, 'cause you're not going to have got a chance. And sign your money has been cleared to play in the quarterfinals. But the question is, you know, depending on how much Senegal have depended on him so far, is he going to be at a 100%? And is he going to be the difference in this kid? Did you give me a pick there, Colin? Okay. I would love to do this. Well, neither? Is he right? I was going to agree with you, but only if you set Senegal. So we'll see how the game goes. Meanwhile, Egypt taking on Morocco, of course, penalty saw Egypt through to the quarterfinals, who you back in here, Colin. I've not been impressed by Egypt so far this tournament. So as much as Morocco have been less than impressive themselves, I still think that Morocco look at much stronger proposition than Egypt. So I'm going to go in Morocco. Nathan? Yeah, I'm going to agree with on this one. I think Morocco and I think a lot of Liverpool fans will be hoping for Morocco as well. So let's see how this one goes. Thank you very much, guys. Of course, we'll be looking back at both of those games on the next edition. ESPN FC, be sure to join us..

"Semifinals, Colin very much a banana skin avoided here. Oh, yes, certainly, but look. I don't think there was any doubt about who was going to win this one. Cameroon have been by far the most consistent side at this tournament. The gusta used, they were only slightly below 9, you are just because they didn't get all maximum points from the three games. But I think said that the wear consistent, they played well, they got the resources they needed to go through the knockout stick. Figures are not as shown against them. It would have been one of the most surprising but better sites at this tournament that they can squeak another quicker with it can grind out and get the result and without difficulty operations and now it's gonna be very difficult to bat against them. You look at them, they're gonna be crazy in Burkina Faso, but I do think that by and large Cameroon have been the most consistent side at this sort of are right now I've got to see the other best so far. Do you agree? Yeah, I do agree with that. And today's game was a bit different than the one that came before. I think the last game against Comoros, they were shown to be a bit defensively weak, because commerce kind of took it to them even though they were a man down from the 7th minute of the match. Was today playing against The Gambia, you know, they were playing with a back four, and they had two fullbacks ahead of the back four, so they were very much on the back foot. So you did never really felt like they were going to get a goal and whereas for camera and they were pushing pushing pushing. And then it managed to get that goal in the 50th minute and then doubled up in the 57 from there. You just don't really just see Gambia coming back into it. And interestingly now, the other top scorers as well, they've got 11 goals. But the craziest thing about that is only come from two players, which is a boob a car topo can be. So it's going to be very, very interesting to see how they perform later on in stages. And if there needs to rely on somebody else or the players, because for now it seems like those two are the main men. So bikini Faso fruit, as our Cameroon, two more birds then in the semifinals, we'll be filled on Sunday as we'll see Senegal take on Equatorial Guinea. They will play Burkina Faso and then Cameroon will take on the winners of Egypt against Morocco. Let's start at the top of the bracket looking ahead to Senegal against Ecuador Guinea..

"And they should be there they are. Nathan, I deserve win then for Burkina Faso. Yeah, and also I am Nigerian. So I'm kind of bellyaching too. And you know, genuinely, when I watch this game, I thought Burkina Faso played really well, especially in that first half. And then for too easy, they had to come up more in the second half. And in some ways, they felt like they were a bit more dangerous, but overall I think Burkina Faso deserved it. And obviously the referee made those decisions with the penalty and with the red card. And to be honest, it was nice to see somebody go over to monitor and stick to their guns, but at the end of the day, as we were alluding to that, maybe tune as you were looking to be at this stage and it kind of felt like that at times because Burkina Faso fell out the more dynamic team for the first half, especially and I felt like this sort of team who maybe deserves to get to the next round. You need him. There was inevitability about it, wasn't it? When the referee was sent over to the monitor, you felt right, definitely. He's going to give the penalty. I think the Premier League never stuck to his guns. This one did, though, was he right to do so? Yeah. So this is interesting because I think if the player had the chance to make that tackle again, he probably wouldn't be as forceful because my word was it strong. But I think it falls in that sort of gray area whereby there's like some people say is a penalty. Some people say that it isn't. But the fact is he's managed to become lucky today and the referees made his initial decision through seeing it. And he's watched the video back in fairness. We always say things in slow motion do look worse. It's a very hefty challenge. But I reckon for the defendant, if you have the chance to do it again, you'd probably do it a bit softer, but the fact is, you know, the F major's decision he stuck to it, and in some ways, that's what people want to see. Try and be objective Cohen to the referee. I think it did. And the reason I say so is that you look at how the play progressed. He got the ball first. Look, you went there. When you go to the board, tuition, there was nowhere near the ball. So you got the point. They followed through is what took him into, I think it was on Saturday. I'm not quite sure but the decision player. So in the end, the first thing was he got the ball all of the ball completely, and then he followed through took him to the intuition there. So I never thought for a million years that was a red card. In fact, even when I saw the rep go over to the money store, my thinking was, he's going to come back and he's going to stick by his guns. Earlier on in the day, it was a comfortable win further host Cameroon being Gambia by two goals to nil. It can be with both strikes in that game, Cameroon then through to the.

Espn two We'll national television for football council beat north gwinnett and that one took care of business. Would everybody was looking to see. Was a konso responded with losing Travis honor the number one player in the nation in their last game to an ankle injury. this was their first game without travis and they they did just fine Scored a nice win over their rivals. Air councils plenty to mounted without trabzon the lineup Still a good chance of making a run at the state championship. Another big win. I think was was brookwood. Went in their region opener over. Newton kind of leaves brookwood unbeaten in the region kind of pursuing a region title. I don't think they wanna region since two thousand seventeen so this is a nice way to start a buford got a win over shiloh. But those teams run defeated in eight six say and And then norcross Got another win. That'd be discovery and they extended their strict. they've gone five straight games without allowing a touchdown to their their opposing teams. Great run there rather norcross defense. That continued last week. Five games without allowing touchdown now there are role right now so they always play great defense over there but this is one of their better runs. Wow that's impressive. Well it since. You are the sports editor. You're the one who picks the players of the week. So who've got yet for offense went with lonnie ratliff. It was really a pretty easy choice. He's the quarterback Only played a half against the lakeside last week and he had Us fifteen out of nineteen passing for four hundred seven yards and seven touchdowns school record seven touchdowns on one half also rush five times for sixty seven yards so pretty easy to go with him as offensive player of the week or defensive player of the week was a a really active defensively and over. There linear ben klay poll. He had thirteen tackles last week in a winner habersham but five those went for losses to refer sacks also had another quarterback russia broke up a pass so he was all over the place for the linear defense last week. congrats ben for that honor and football's not the only sport that's happening right now. Softball in volleyball are both in the playoffs. Yeah we're right in the middle of everything in those sports a couple rounds deep already and softball Really what stood out to me. amber read from north gwinnett. She had ended double header shutout against noon. Instead set the bulldogs lead in columbus She pitched two complete game shutouts. They're allowed only one hit in those games and she struck out twenty eight batters between those two games so just really dominant effort for amber. She's having a great year. And i wasn't going to be going back to columbus. They're usually down there all the time. They've made the elite eight buford. There's a seventeen straight trips in a row to columbus for the finals down there so really dominant run for those guys and the accuser. The only team to beat be for the region. Eight six champions punch their ticket down there as well. also had a couple of softbank amendments while we're talking softball this week we had Value martin from brooklyn and. She's a third baseman over there for the bronco. She committed to auburn and field. Who's a big part of that tequila softball team that we talked about. She's a committed to georgia state. She's a kind of a first baseman at the college level but she's a big pitcher for tequila as well at the high school level and the volleyball playoffs got going this week. In the first with first round games and and buford hebron brookwood and parkview. I'll picked up first round win so for that can keep that going deep into the playoffs and swimming is happening right now as well with a couple gwinnett swimmers making the usa swimming junior national team. Who are they yeah. Both of these kids were were high school swimmers last year. There were daily. Push swimmers of the year. Nate stouffville from over brookwood and abby mccullough from parkview a big time swimmers. There were women at the college level now. But they're abbey's at georgia and then nate's at auburn. But those kids were were excellent high school swimmers and really dominated at that level. Both were committed auburn at one point. Abby changed her mind when auburn had a coaching change. But both are in the sec. Right now like you said. They're going to be swimming for the usa swimming junior national team.

It is your patriotic duty to get out there. Light up a cigarette. Get addicted and die because the government need you to fund the federal government tax dollars. It is the most bizarre thing i have seen. State governments around the country. Are jacking up the tobacco tax. I saw somebody online earlier in At some point the entire government is going to be funded by a guy named larry in kansas and the seven hundred fifty two thousand dollars a cigarette. He pays taxes. It's just absolutely bizarre. See the government depending on smokers to keep smoking to fund various government projects long-term. It makes no sense whatsoever yet. This is the world we live in. A nonsensical world fueled by progressive dreams..

The scientific really works differently now than it used to work before because before teen could get the biggest deal. Possible from his home. Hugh for assigned Five and eight percent racist or whatever. The highest racist were at the time now a player can only get the kind of contract five percent raises in four years that he could get signing with that team directly which means that if the player can sign with another team directly. He's just gonna go ahead and signed it sweetener to get him to resign with his old team with the purpose of assignment rate which means a signing trade really is only useful now when a player wants to go to eighteen that doesn't have capital decided directly so now it's just a function of capra by. They said every every yours different sometimes more teams can. Sometimes they have less. The rule of thumb is when cameroon goes down signing traits. Because that's the mechanism for getting moves down so with fewer kings with a lot of capri now this one kind of in the middle of a few teams there I would still expect to see more james trying to get their work done through signing because the players who might be looking to change teams that could get screwed. It would be one example. He's looking to go from somewhere east. He's apparently looking for a lot of money and a team that wants him and may even be willing to meet his asking.

You're sort of just you have no idea what is what and you just say yes and she ended up at iowa. State university begged her parents to let her go and they allowed her to. Was that unusual for sort of that moment. In time it was unusual that she was a woman so the us immigration laws changed in sixty eight and allowed for a changed from country and orc origin to family like unification and so it was after that that a lot of indians kind of came into the country and but the majority of the i kind of indian to come of those families particularly to graduate school.

Record 29 Million in the Sahel in Need of Humanitarian Assistance
"That almost 30 million people in this a hell are in urgent Need of assistance? Yes, that's a rise of five million in just one year. Suffering is driven in large passed by ongoing Islamist violence. The newsroom's Peter Coffin told me more The hell is this broad stretch of West and Central Africa just south of the Sahara Desert. This statement by the U. N and some international charities has specifically mentioned Burkina Fasso, Chad, Mali, Neige and parts of Cameroon and Nigeria, and it said there are now a record 29 million people across those six countries who need humanitarian aid. 14 million are living at crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity, and included in that are an estimated 1.6 million Children experiencing severe malnutrition. Now that's a hell already faces challenges to food production. It's a new, arid place. The Sahara is expanding. But as you mentioned, the U. N has said that violence is really driving the increase in hunger. We know that governments in the region have been battling Islamist militias for the past decade. There are parts of the region under militant control. Just last week, we reported the Chad's president died leading his army against one of these groups, and in the past 24 hours, we've learned that a pair of Spanish journalists and an Irish citizen were killed in Burkina Fasso. But the U. N says it's civilians who really bear the brunt of the fighting. You have those numbers

The History (and Erasure) of Black Brewers
"Despite the overarching image of whiteness. When it comes to beer there is a vast history of black brewing culture. Which like so many things has been largely erased from the history books and cultural consciousness. James bennett the second dove into this for a recent peace in eater. He acknowledges the huge influences of german and irish culture in america but points out. That's not the only source when it comes to beer quoting eater. The ancestors of african americans. They were fermenters. They were really good at making their own liquor and making their own beers and also making wine from fruit says the culinary historian and writer. Michael w twitty one of our african 'isms in fact was producing all of these things and one of the reasons why we did. That was because it was related to our traditional spirituality libation twitty. Ads is the heart of african spiritual worship. He recounts seeing this firsthand on a trip to takhar village in cameroon. They pull out a big ceramic vessel full of their traditional beer. He says and even though a lot of takhar our muslim this is one of the traditional religious practices that they keep alongside islam. What beer-drinking may be nonexistent on friday. Would he notes. You better believe that at social functions to honor youth. Celebrate a marriage or the deceased in the ground. Alcohol is poured out and passed among the elders and quotes alcohol and in many cases. Beer was and is important. Spiritually and culturally to many different communities in africa throughout the ages as european colonizers began enslaving people and forcing them to work on their stolen land. The knowledge and skill sets of many enslaved black people surrounding bruin were exploited quoting again. The prevailing image of enslaved black person is that of someone laboring in the fields were being ordered around the big house but american slavery built in sustained a pretty much every aspect of this american life and that included beer again the west african societies. From which so many bodies were stolen. Were no stranger to the mechanisms of fermentation. We know that. Enslaved africans and african caribbeans were brewing beer or were cultivating hops or other grains. That would have been used in the brewing process. Says theresa mccullough of the smithsonian's national museum of american history. Black brewing skill was no secret. She adds advertisements for enslaved. People who were skilled. Brewers -absolutely wanted posters that identified fugitives as skilled brewers or otherwise involved in the brewing industry. As american as apple pie. Peter hemmings enslaved at monticello was a master brewer and quote but even if their expertise was being used to produce beer many black individuals who were free at the time. Weren't drinking much of it. Part of it was because temperance. Got rolled into the abolitionist movements. Most abolitionists were anti alcohol. Seen it as a toxic influence and a tool of the oppressor now. That's not to say that all temperance advocates were abolitionists. Far from it but most abolitionist were teetotalers. But there is also a practical angle. Bennett explains black. People were wary of being taken advantage of by white people while drunk and also simply didn't have the money or time for drinking while they were figuring out more important matters like getting an education job and securing semblance of safety in a dangerous climate then in the second half of the nineteenth century beer and cider went from being a smaller mostly at home type of operation to a profitable business largely. Thanks to the influence of german immigrants in america and of course now that it was profitable. Black brewers were shut out and being that beer was now more something to be purchased at an establishment like a saloon versus consumed at home. Black people were also often refused service. Then prohibition hits and when it was repealed with many federal regulations in place breweries were fearful of being shut down so they leaned hard into patriotic. Branding the kind of whitewashed stars and stripes apple pie type of america that is definitively white as been it says. Advertising has more to do with what we buy than most of us care to admit and by his accounts that adds up with the consumer trends that we saw throughout the second half of the twentieth century as white flight brought middle and upper middle class white people to the suburbs where they could host parties at home and had a bit of bigger budget a lot of them swapped beer for cocktails and thinking that they could get them back with a beer that had as high as cocktails beer. Companies tried to sell the white suburbanites on malt liquor but the attempt flopped most likely minutes opposes. Because it's something of an acquired taste so then a pivot happened quoting again. How did malt liquor go from garden. Party aspirated two boys in the hood levels of despair. The exact y. Is a matter of law but jane. Nicole jackson beckham diversity ambassador for the brewers association has a pretty good idea. The story i've been able to get is that there was some kind of persistent market research saying that. Urban audiences make more purchasing decisions based on. Abc and that urban audiences tend to buy for volume. She says the decision was made to market malt liquor not as an upscale product but a specifically urban products and to put it in a large vessel boom the forty and quotes

Africa's Great Green Wall to combat desertification secures $16.8 billion in international finance Impact
"Now we have science writer. Rachel danske with an update on africa's great green wall project which will soon see an infusion of billions of dollars from the world bank and others this project. The great green wall is intended to serve as a bulwark against desertification of the land south of the sahara desert while at the same time supporting communities that live in this region. Okay rachel how're you doing. I'm doing well. Thanks for having me sure. This is a rape big wall. This is a big project. It's basically supposed to be this green band that spans about seven thousand kilometers across the whole hop of africa. It launched back in two thousand seven. Rachel what would you say. The progress has been since two thousand seven now to two thousand twenty one almost non-existent which is why they launched this new round of funding last month. There was an assessment that found that a fraction of the goal had been achieved so far and the goal is for twenty thirty so they realized that time was running out right throughout this piece. You make this really important distinction between planting a tree and growing a tree. Why is that so important to think about when you know thinking about restoring lands or planting trees to help prevent desertification. The first time. I heard it. I just thought well. That's a really good way to put it. And then when racer after another would phrase it that way that we don't plant trees we grow them because that's been one of the missing pieces in restoration. Efforts globally not even specific to the great green wall but just in restoration landscape and forest restoration. Generally there has been this focus on planting trees but little focus really on looking at what gets planted in the first place in paying attention to the species diversity in the planting material and making sure that it's the right tree for the right place. There's also last follow plus maintenance of the tree then there needs to be talked to someone in west africa who was saying that. He's traveled to so many countries throughout the continental. Seen so many trees planted. But where the forests. Yeah that's a really interesting way of thinking about it. Basically tree planting mania that's been happening has come from all these different projects foundations quotas. That are saying oh. It costs a dollar to put a tree in the ground and we're going to offset our carbon. We're going to green the world but no one's looking after these trees and making sure that they live beyond that for sheer gas so now that we know that. That's not a good way to go about this. There's actually a lot of research. That's found some of the best practices for restoration projects. What are some of the recommendations have come out from research. In the past ten years when paper published last year talked about ten golden rules for reforestation. And they think those summed up a lot of the recommendations really well in addition to just protecting existing forests which probably sounds obvious. But there's a lot of research on the new. I don't have the same benefits that existing ones do and it's hard to replace that beyond that involving local communities has been just incredibly important component that researchers are saying was not really part of the focus before because the restoration ecologists are focused on the physical research and they aren't trained to think about how people play into the picture and it's just so important to the survival of the trees because it's people who are planting trees and it's people who are maintaining the trees and if you don't have community by an investment in rye these trees there and interested keeping them there. The trees aren't going to last and the trees only have their benefits when they last going back to trees here for a minute you mentioned keeping old us in place for protecting them. What else is being looked at. So that's when using a diversity of species so that there can start to be restored. Biodiversity rather than just monoculture of trees. They're starting to be focused now. Also on the quality of the seeds. And what you're actually planting. And how do we build. The systems and infrastructure for collecting and improving. Seeds is going to be the most resilient seed for that species but then it's also about the genetic diversity because there can be inbreeding with plants. If you're not collecting from wide enough geographic area than you can start to sort of limit. The gene pool and that can be problematic. You talk about this example in ethiopia of a seat initiative a network that is supposed to improve the quality of seats. Can you talk about how that would work. And how it would involve the community. The provision of adequate trees deep portfolio or pets. Bo is a project in ethiopia that they're calling it a functional trees seed system. It's a multi-pronged effort. They're trying to develop standards for seed collection and sharing that. There's high quality seed that will ensure that the trees that are planted can be their most resilient they're developing maps for how to source those seeds they're trying to strengthen the research system the infrastructure and the the research system to improve seed quality and they're linking all of that to the people who will use the seeds seeds there's technical training for farmers and the local language and there are diagrams of how to store different types of seeds. They're really trying to get that knowledge to the community to farmers and local nurseries to scale up the capacity of local decentralized infrastructure. Is there another model project that people might be looking at to expand as the money comes in. Are there other areas. That are doing good things. Yeah there was one of their project that i came across the one billion trees for africa project. And it's led by this man from cameroon tabby jota. He talked about how he grew up in this thriving economy system and he went off to university and when he came back the lands that he new as a forest with no longer for us. He started planting marina cheese and cola nut trees and mingo trees and all these different trees that would restore some of the soil health that he thought had been lost but also produce food and income generating opportunities for people so that they would be invested in keeping the trees there. He called his approach. The contagion approach. Because it's just sort of caught on. He got a bunch of men and women in this one community to be involved in the tree planting the neighboring communities saw what was happening and he was very clear that it's not like a drastic change where their community sedley rich where they weren't before but the small benefits were noticeable and so the neighboring community wanted to do something similar. And so it's just been a word of mouth approach so as he developed this very grassroots success he's gotten funding from more international sources than use it to do the work on the ground in these different communities mostly in west africa. And he's starting to do more and more with the great great wall which seems very exciting so there are a couple of different findings that we talked about that suggests the way forward for this type of restoration project involving the community diversity of. They're planting making sure that they're not just putting stuff in the ground but they're actually supporting plant growth and the communities around it but another thing that comes up a lot in your story is now we kind of what should happen. Researchers have come to a lot of conclusions that are very useful. But then there's the practice what's actually happening on the ground and maybe even what will happen on the ground. What are some of the biggest impediments to implementing the results of this research. One interesting comment. That i heard was that the implementing partners people with the money don't have scientist on their teams. They don't realize how complicated it is to plant a tree into get it right and to make sure that grows the lack of knowledge in the right places and the lack of communication between the people with the money and the people with the knowledge and also the community who is going to be involved. Those conversations aren't being had something else that a here is the expectations that donors have. They want fast results. And that's not. How trees in general work. But it's especially not how effective restoration works because all of these things need to happen and they take time getting communities involved. There's a lot of upfront investment. That needs to happen. In developing all of this infrastructure and research systems with a lot faster to just go and say just plant a bunch of eucalyptus trees. Because that's what they have the seeds and planting materials for. There's a disconnect between the speed that donors want to see results and the reality of what needs to happen. I've seen that you've written about this project for years now. What do you think you're going to see if you check back in two years. I hope to see that things. Like the pats project and this other effort the one billion trees for africa a hope that they have scaled and and that they inspire or serve as models for other projects. I don't know where. I'm placing bets. It feels like there is enough of a resounding message coming from the research community about the importance of this and the importance for the effective ecosystem function restoration and the community development but also for the climate benefits and if the global fenders governments who want to plant trees for the climate benefits if they are serious than they will start listening to these researchers. This is like thousands of miles. Four thousand miles. That's like the us plus another third right east west a huge huge area to cover an across countries. And all these different people's. How is this. possible. Rachel i mean this is a global scale. This is a huge project. it's huge. It's huge and that's probably why it sounded like the great idea when they announced it. And why didn't go anywhere for ten years but it's the partner agencies that i've spoken with involved in this project. The great queen wall are really clear that it's an environmental program but it's also the social alliance when that's meant to economic development but also really impart some resilience. See into these communities. Who are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. That's why they're really ramping. Up this funding now because they see the value for the planet from a climate change perspective but also for the millions of people across this gigantic area. Pinks rachel thanks for having me.

Saving Sea Level Records: What Historical Records Tell Us About The Rising Ocean
"So lauren you sent me a picture of one of these century old title logbooks and it's so cool. It's really detailed. You can see where it says one. Am someone's written thirteen feet one fifteen. Am fourteen feet one inch in this. Really lovely old penmanship tracking tied. Did people really do this. Twenty four hours a day every day of the year they did. They had technology. That actually made it easier though In the late eighteen hundreds they developed an automatic system which had this float that rested on the surface of the water and then fed information to kind of a pen that recorded the movement so then people just had to read off the values and put them into the ledgers and this was done in other places to lake near hillary island. The port of liverpool also has a really long running title record. That makes sense because this was the era of ships rights. Watercraft was the way that people and things got around. Yeah exactly you had a lot of ships going in and out of port and so they were shipping companies. That had to keep track of the tide so it can be done safely two day. Some of those old records are archived at the permanent service for mean sea level which is an organization in the uk that gathers ocean data worldwide Andy matthews a data scientists. There told me the data are pretty reliable. You know most of the time. Those woman over on point is a little hand square school saying they. They sweet because the Tyja for was sick. You get little insights now with him. Everybody needs a sick day right. Of course andy says they're trying to organize a bigger effort to find these records. Because you know since kind of obscure they're hard to find yet but it can be anywhere these kind of things now in libraries from people that we all kaisei done coin. Doug well they are. Yeah this is quite the quest and an even bigger issue. I imagine is that when they find them. The data is still stuck on those pages. Yeah his colleagues scanned about sixteen thousand pages. But the numbers are on the page and they haven't been digitized so they're really not usable by scientists. They're trying to use computers to do it through character recognition. But i mean you saw that writing right. It's kind of like the script and the formats can be really hard to decipher so india's hoping that the public will help he recently put the images on zoom verse. A website and so volunteers can kind of in and and read the numbers. Type them up. I love this approach. I mean we're all bored at home looking for something to do this pandemic so why. Not some historical data as tree right. Yeah i mean data entry for a greater good seriously but to get into the nitty gritty of it. Why exactly is an important to look at data from the eighteen. Hundreds to understand sea level rise today an into the future right. What does that matter. Yeah right. I mean it has to do with how complex sea-level rise is because it's been caused by a number of different things. I mean i. You got glacier's melting temperatures causes them to shrink and that water runs off into the ocean and the same thing is happening in greenland and antarctica. Where there are these massive ice sheets on the land and there's so much is melting in gigi tons tapping increasingly fast. And i know that oceans are also rising because the water itself is warming up and hotter things expand so the water slick taking up more space. Yep you got it and actually. This is kind of cool. Sea level rise did slow down in the nineteen sixties and seventies because that was the era of dam building around the world. When you know when these big reservoirs were being constructed. They held back so much water. It was actually measurable. Ooh that is so strange and it really shows how we humans do impact the oceans. That's like a tangible detail of how quickly we can do that. It's a huge scale. But it's not really a factor anymore because you know dams aren't really being built at the same rate these days got it. Yeah anyway since one thousand nine hundred there's been about eight inches of sea level rise and by the end of this century. We couldn't be looking at three to six feet of sea level rise or even higher depending on how much carbon humans emits but. that's globally. The water is rising at a different pace depending on where you are. Yeah how exactly does that work. Because wouldn't the phil evenly kind of like when you fill a bathtub. And here's where it gets a little weird. The earth is slowly changing slowly getting a different shape lake. You know when you've been sitting on the couch while and you kind of get up and the cushion rebounds like morphs back into its old shape. Yeah not all couches but sure theoretically Well okay that same thing happens to the earth's crust During the last ice age Kind of started waning. Eleven thousand years ago. There was a lot of ice on canada and greenland super heavy and was pushing down the earth's crust since that melted the crust has been slowly rebounding. And that's actually not good for the east coast especially around the mid atlantic region. Because you know it's on the same tectonic plates as canada and greenland and when one side goes up. The other side goes down So what you're saying is where i live on. The east coast is on the lower end of the see-saw basically your thinking about that slowly. I mean the east coast is seen more sea level rise than other parts of the country. And then there's a whole bunch of other things that can cause that to you. Know ocean currencies big things that span hundreds of miles in the ocean. They cost the water on one side of them to be higher on the other side. You know so. Because of currents and gravity the oceans themselves are just kind of lumpy which is why sea level rises different everywhere. I am learning so much right now. You're basically saying is that sea level rise is local essentially and if cities want a plan for this and figure out what an who is at risk they'll need tailor-made information for their location. Yeah that's where these historical records come in. You know they reveal what these geologic processes and ocean conditions are doing in each place right right and i signed us refine their computer models. Which are those high powered ways that we get forecast about climate change. I spoke to scientists. Tomas friedrich's at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory about this and he said local records really matter. If we don't have that information for these see to be like a few feet off the local records of sea level so especially when we try to projects like high water levels of like extremes sea levels that's how we call them It's very difficult to to get an accurate picture of that but there is a big issue with a historical records. They already have almost all of the ones that have been digitized. Come from europe and north america So what you're saying is we gotta find more places. More hillary islands so to speak with historical sea level data all around the world. Yeah and this is a problem across many kinds of climate data. actually the southern hemisphere hasn't been covered as well with things like whether stations and other kind of data collection historically So there's just this big effort to find these historical records outside of europe and the us in argentina. They're working to digitize records from nineteen o five that were taken at the port of raise But to go back farther in some countries it means looking at the records of former colonial powers that took control because when countries like the uk and germany and france extracted. Huge amount of resources from colonies often through force. They did it largely through shipping colonialism stealing and keeping a record of it yeah pretty much so right now in france the national hydrographic service is digitizing these title records from dozens of their former colonies from madagascar vietnam Some of those records though aren't as long running you know they were gathered. As part of geographic mapping or you know to study an area where they were putting in port project. But i spoke to one person who is working with the french to stitch together a longer running record dating back through his country's colonial history marbella unika for seafood unique is from cameroon and he's a phd student in france right. Now he started in german archives. Because that was the colonial power in the late. Eighteen hundreds until france took control so he's gathered the french records as well and then he the cameroon records after it became independent in nineteen sixty. Yeah that's really interesting. Project and just a clear example of how the legacy of colonialism continues to impact science today. Yeah yeah i mean. It's digging through. His legacy is how he's kind of finding these records And there's really only one other long-term record in africa and that's from the car senegal so he knows cameroon could be crucial for improving global climate models But it could also be really helpful for cameroon itself. Nieto's just told me that. The country's largest city douala right on the atlantic coast and estuary and it's extremely vulnerable to flooding already. I'm just last year. There was a huge flood that displays thousands after really heavy rains. So when you add sea level rise to that it just makes the flooding issue worse. So he's hopeful that the historical records he's finding will lead to more detailed forecasts about just how fast the ocean is rising there because twala like other cities needs to start preparing now communities need to decide whether to move out of the way or build some kind of protection and

Tennis Player to Watch: Evan Furness
"Guy. I want to talk about today. Who i think has been if not the best player one of the five best players at the it level since the start of the twenty twenty season. And that's evan furnace who you look at his career trajectory for those of you. Who don't know about edmund furnace furnace twenty two years old going to turn twenty three in the frenchman had a career high in the junior rankings of number thirty six so again. That's not gonna blow you out of the water right. Furnace was in this junior slam champion. Who much was expected of. Yeah he made a third round of junior wimbledon in twenty sixteen lost his devan. ac- pass. Yeah he made you know play. A bunch of the junior slammed had good enough results to become a top fifty junior in the world. But how many top fifty. Former top fifty. Juniors in the world have never heard of pro circuit. The answer is quite a few and you know for furnace. It was steady linear progression. You look at you know. He played his first pro tour match all the way back in two thousand fourteen when he was you know a i think sixteen or fifteen or sixteen years old played. One match. Didn't win it. You know you start to look at as he went through the years in two thousand fifteen he was able to play twenty matt or twenty one matches when eleven and ten. That's he's in twenty sixteen. He goes sixteen and thirteen. You know so again. steady progression. His first full season as twenty seventeen. He goes forty two and twenty eight in pro events during that season now he did not believe make any pro finals at twenty seventeen season but pretty quickly found himself making the jump off to To playing a full time to schedule you look at what he was able to accomplish. A four evan furnished during his first few seasons twenty eighteen he makes his first two It finals he bought ends up winning in portugal. Next up david gaz in cameroon. In the end of november he ends up losing two skandal mansuri than hong kong. He ends up knocking off. Julian lens makes another final during the twenty thousand nine hundred season although it is safe to say twenty nineteen you look at the results. Furnish was able to put together.
