And to not allow us to have some form of fallibility is dangerous and he's constantly trying to point that out and he finds the hypocrisy in trauma he finds the hypocrisy in in people's inability to especially if there's someone who has lived through a lot but there than inability to see that some other people might as well. I think that's the most important thing to pull away from this. And he obviously does that by leaning on. I think is arguable. But he's he himself is also gone through. Some trauma is black man in america. He's somebody who has stood up for those rights. He's constantly been fighting. I mean nobody makes fun of white people more than he does. And even he even says in this especial where he's like for the last thirty years forty years. I been battling in arguing with white people. And i felt as though that the community itself going after him specifically is inappropriate. And they're calling at least now the trans community and those that support them calling for dave chapelle to be for his special to be removed from netflix and their co chief executive officer actually said in an internal memo saying that the closer is not going to be removed that they support creative freedom and it's unfortunate but this is a reality. the netflix members.

"The disclaimer that you see when you go to the movie studio section so while we have not tried this product because it's a completely different product. We can't recommend movie studio anymore. It's a different product altogether based on our previous experience. With magic's movie edit pro. It just seems like we can't even recommend that one either so hopefully we'll be able to better advise on these in the future if we do end up having a chance to try these keep an eye on her discord while we're on our a if we have to try these will mention them but since movie studio was that go-to recommendation for us. We wanted to make sure very clear right now that we are not recommending movie studio anymore. Because it's a different product. Now there is a little hope there. If you're trying to buy it. Is that magic. The company sometimes involve is involved with the humble. Bundle fundraisers and win. They've done this. They've usually offered previous years software including movie studio pro. So maybe or magic's movie studio So maybe they will do a humble bundle this year or something that has the previous version version. Seventeen that was based on the vegas platform. So keep your eyes on that if you're really trying to just know that if you do that there's no real consumer level upgrade path now espy with that said. We did notice that they're offering a little bit of a upgrade path for people who want to go into the more professional line right. Yeah the price tag is more than movie. Studio was however before you had to own a prior copy of vegas pro to get the vegas pro upgrade price so at least it's an option if you like what movie studio was but want the latest in the vegas pro line. They're offering that discount upgrade. So this is what they said. Betas movie studio users. You can now upgrade to vegas at it pro or post and continue working with the familiar you.

"To podcast about. Podcasting here on better podcasting. It's great to be podcast about podcasting with you stephen this week likewise also if you didn't notice that the beginning of the show we like to talk about how i saved my podcasts. Basically if you have something that goes wrong with your podcast let us know. How did it go wrong. How did you fix the problem. Did you fix the problem. This just helps everybody get their creative juices going. I'll make mine super short this week super short because i did have something. Go wrong but it's very similar. Well it is basically things that have happened before. But i just want to mention it because it's been wild since we've mentioned things going wrong with our podcast and i hope that me sharing helps a new podcast or listening. No that it's okay. If things go wrong and yeah. Last week i went. And the way that i edit. I usually edit the guinea geek show on one day and the next day i usually add it. The better podcasting episode. Or you know. Put it together. In the case of the podcasting live and so on friday last week i downloaded the audio files from the card. I was using the road. Cast bro borghini geek. Show and then. On saturday. I went to pull the better podcasting files and basically the sd card was corrupt. So luckily my good friend here. Espy as we've talked about before multi tracks on his end so that he had my audio on his side. Now here's the thing. The audio quality isn't perfect. Just because of the way that the audio is going back and forth between us so essentially i just used his track mostly as a guideline of where i could see visually on the track when i was speaking and then i just went and took from the video file that we had recorded my audio and just put it on the proper track so it was like ninety percent the usual sound that we would have on that show. I would say probably higher than that was probably ninety five percent and then if there was a little bit of over talking. Because i'm better podcasting live chat. We do sometimes talk a little more over other than we do here. I just then use that lower quality track from him. So that i could. I can make it all work. So he sounded hundred percent like he normally did and let's be honest he is the most important person on any podcast and also i was like ninety five percent there so again not really anything new acknowledged that here right here and right now but i do want to mention that right now just because hopefully if you had something go wrong you know. Sometimes you might be able to get through. It happens to the best of us and the worst of us in my case because let's be honest. I'm i'm down there. I the worst of you the best of you. It's all it's it's an incredibly small bandwidth between the top and the bottom there. I need to clarify something. Though you said you mentioned that you had recorded the video. I just need to clarify you record. That local us used to record that locally. So it's not going out like i do legends of shield and it's being recorded on youtube or whatever so you're actually getting the batter audio quality better audio quality then you can have if you were using a recording service for the video was locally done. Which has its own drawbacks from time to damage. I mean we've had issues with that as well but just to clarify with everybody. He's using a secretary of audio quality. But it's it's better because he's enabled to record locally so he doesn't have to go through the internet or any internet compression out there. It's just all being done on his machine. Excellent clarification and if you have any questions about any of this get in touch with us through our discord at better podcasting dot com slash discord. But we do have a full video companion to the show so you can always send us an e mail with video to podcast at.

"Been relying on and contending with the rain since the dawn of time. Let it surprisingly recently that we really started to understand how rain comes to be in the eighteen thirties meteorologist james. Fc put forward the theory. That convection was the primary cause of rain. As heated updrafts rise into the sky they cool and their moisture condenses resulting in cloud formation and eventually precipitation. This then cutting edge theory landed him a job with the us army as the nation's burst meteorologist and almost immediately raised a question. We're still trying to answer today. Can humans or even manipulate this natural process. His approach lighting huge fires along the appalachian mountains to provide the heat smoke in particular matter needed to trigger storms and bring rain under exactly favourable conditions. Of course sb pitched his idea to congress claiming that if these fires were set on a weekly basis. He preferred sunday evenings. The now regular rain would eliminate droughts heat waves and cold snaps. Prevent river flooding and keep the air clean and healthy by washing down noxious vapor. I'm extrapolating from incomplete data. Here but i would bet my heart shaped but that the word miasma was used in the presentation desma theory of course being the pre germ theory belief. That bad air mal aria caused and spread the disease. Espy's convection theory raised his reputation. In scientific circles. The rainmaker idea. Not as much if anything. He was probably worse. Off for it professionally author nathaniel hawthorne thought. Sp belonged in the paul of fantasy. A marketplace of wild ideas perfectly suited to fantasies of rain kings in climate

"Getting in enjoyment by hobby. Podcasting you'll probably find that a well budgeted. A podcast is probably one of the better bang for the buck that you will get out of hobbies espy mentioned a few earlier. Where you're going. You're spending a couple of hours and then you're done for the month with awed casting. You're getting so many hours each week in your hobby so think about the cost. Compared to those hours we also think that having spoken can keep you enjoying your podcast and further potentially save you money in the long run what we mean by that is for example. Let's say that someone is feeling really resistant to spending any money on their podcast whatsoever. They might spend hours trying to research for an editing program that is completely free but in the end the research might not lead them to all the things that they need out of that editing program but if they consider this idea of well. I'm spending money for my own personal enjoyment. Maybe they would have been willing to spend a few dollars relatively speaking on some other options and now they have a whole bunch more selection available to them and that might have saved them all of that research time.

"Better team and then you looked up and remembered the butts had the best player in the series you know and chris middleton who actually for the total of that game wasn't really bad good he's put up a whole bunch of shots but in the end he was like. Hi guys. i'm here and we do this. Ice scared got it came down to. I think probably like a couple minutes left. And the score was tied devon booker down and took a shot and missed. It went back. The other way middleton his shot it was almost exact same shot as a like a screen Middle hits like that. Little elbow area and tugboat range game to like this game has felt like this series of felt like a ton of mid range stuff when we all kind of accepted that analytic mid game was mid range was day. But that's what all this feels like. You is who can win that part of the floors who's going to win this series and the last thing that jumped out to me is possessions. So it doesn't matter what Adjustments you make if you're going to get twenty more possessions than your opponent and that's just offensive rebounds and turnovers and that is Wreck like eight year old basketball coach and right there the less crash the boys and let's not give it to the other team and they get more possession. That's an adjustment. i will get credit for it. Because he is typically to offense like crashing. The boards is a philosophic thing getting back and they had done that. And i will say this on turnovers people talking about chris paul. Yo don't forget do just head head head head head rona like. We've seen the attention to detail. Stuff tends to be like gets people when they come back. So you know that that is a consideration. But this has been foxworth friday dominic foxworth. Check him out all over the good.

"Yeah man you watch some basketball. Last night i did. It was a great game. I enjoyed You know. I had discussions with the phoenix discussions right. We talked about that. Talked about the book thing where i was when he didn't make the all star team. I was looking to book at that. Time was like one of very many players in the west but not a guy but you gotta stand on the table. He doesn't make the all star team and of course at his best in his postseason at very least he is totally. Looked like you know. A high level star caliber player. But i don't know like i hear people saying he's a superstar. Judicious in college people superstars. Like if i say. He's not a superstar. That's not an insult. In the way that people would think. Because i just like i give that to like three or four people. That's just that's just where i am. But apparently he is superstar. Do tonight essex file. I was like damn i did not realize that they he won the mvp. I appreciate it honestly. But it wasn't fair. But i mean they got the points anyway. Janas scored got the rebound and put it in any way. But i like to see them. Close all these games but you think back to like the clear path found. He just gave away like this type of stuff. That just seems dumb looking back like you are the score. You can't be doing those sorts of things but we have to give bud a little credit right like no we don't i mean no he. He adjusted sense. That's credit that's credit. He wasn't doing that before. Like i mean even. This isn't new. But like for this series. Picking up. Chris paul full-court having a holiday. Do that like it. Seemed like a may pay it off at the end of game for chris. Paul does not chris paul. Let me ask a question. We should have birds idea or did you highly that. He was going to do that and so pointed. Get they're all bad until all these away back. And i'll never forget this those who don't know when i was growing up. My parents were at prairie view. Am university you may have heard a prairie view in the context of what was the large the longest losing streak in american football. They lost eighty straight games. And we were there like in the midst of right so one of my mom's students because my mom's really liked her and would like they would do things for me which was in essence doing things for her. You know they like me enough so it was cool so to do thome us. Go take me to get a haircut because he had to do door and that was a really good barber. And i remember that because that was the first time that i like really put the two together like oh this guy smells like weed right. You take a cut. My hair to he. Leaves is bird so other came in there and he played like really competitive flag football by he played flag football with the dunes out there with mouthpieces. Like whatever right but he was out there. And i'll just never forget. He was talking about the coach at prairie view. At the time and how it is no way in the world that we take no orders from this man he was like think about this. They lose in every game that man driving a lexus. He's like man ain't no i'll coach laser and that was just listen to coach and i feel so point. They had to make that call on the basketball teams all the time we coaching. Yeah i mean that that's something that can have it in basketball. It's unlike the have football. So i guess we should give bucks credit. We don't have to go to in specifically but i put in. Chris middleton at like playmaker spot and pick and rolls that work towards the game. that seem relatively new. Something broke out in the last couple of games like it seems like we give bud a hard time for not making adjustments. Whether he's making them or not. It seems that they are making adjustments and wanted. The justices is just just let let you on is beyond even if he's gonna shoot a couple of bad threes a game he is gonna do an incredibly athletic Blocks or something at some some point throughout that that thing that block was equally athletic and also like mentally brilliant right thing as it is on twitter about it. That ball went up and people like booker threw a bad pass. I'm like no not really like you throw it as high as you can. In that case. I understand that but for janas to look at it and realized what had happened. And it'd be like okay now. I'm going to play it. After he's caught it and ate was out of gas. That's the other part to like for. Yana still had the level of energy required to make that play in the last minute of an nba. Finals game is insane. And i was out of compensates friend of mine i ain't gonna call them out here but he was he was kinda onto. I ain't seen you do it in the club. He's like i don't want to talk about him like they'd talk about abroad and then went straight to talk about him like they talk about abroad. That's a clutch plate right there. Great like that is a huge clutch play in that moment that literally. I think he's the only player in the nba. Make that play. Like i don't i. Anthony davis could get there but anthony is strong enough to me. The name that came to mind and your point is right. I said it was usually athletic. But i watched that replay like ten times. And if you watch the honest and every play you can see that as anticipation. Also he recognized what was happening. It wasn't just a reaction to what's going on. He recognized and as a defensive back. You see often where you're like all right. If i take away this you know. I know where you're going to go so he did that. He was like all right. I'm going to take away this. And i'm gonna show this as if it's open and then i know exactly how much time i have to get back. Fell to me like that was It's not i mean. Some people mentally have the capacity to do that. But obviously don't have the physical capacity the size and explosion of so i'm not trying to minimize. How incredibly explosive and athletic it was but it also seemed like a play that he only made because he understood what they were trying to do to him. That's man he's talked about superstar. You said you only give it to to yeah. He's one two or three people he's one let's not forget. Let's not forget that. His knee went backwards. Backwards bomani backwoods. He just came off to forty point games and has a blocking finals. That is only parallel by lebron chase. Down block like backwards. He's a superstar. Yeah he's it is flawed but that happened. That's okay. I mean we all don't yeah oh by god. That was good and it was wild about it. I was feeling like the whole game. We're getting close to the end but we The whole game. If felt like phoenix was the better team in milwaukee was always going get up to like maybe down by three but they weren't gonna take the lead and then took the lead in phoenix rain and took the lead by eight and it was just like finishes felt like the.

He going yo schoo- next year that school was duke. Yeah steve one of those guys just always like you know he good. Yeah yeah you know. This is what it is just chevy movie. I saw the people like getting people confused as a thing. That's funny and you. And i have a good time with that because sometimes it doesn't happen anymore but i used to get call. You like absurd because understand. And i was laughing because i was thinking like if i'd forgot my credentials. I could probably go backstage. If i say i'm anthony mackie depending on. Who's at the lab. I i could pull awesome sunglasses. The white person over the age of fifty a might be like. Hey i'm anthony. Forty five seconds to play. But you feel i could give somebody but i thought about that because over the weekend. I don't know how it got on my fee. But i saw somebody posted a picture that they thought was with snoop dogg and then people make fun of it because it was clearly a guy who was trying to look like snoop dogg but he clearly wasn't snoop dogg but i was full for a second the light i laugh off there because always i mean it's always white people who who call me somebody else like black people may not know my name but they know that i i'm not they don't think i'm somebody else and so i'm looking at his picture and i'm like oh bad me. I thought it was through dog. I and i was a little embarrassed. I didn't want to tell anybody talk about it. But i noticed that the same space. Yeah but what kind of person. Like i don't know i don't. I shouldn't be judgmental but like you recognize that you might have a little resemblance to a celebrity. And then you commit fully tonight like grow your hair out. Cut your beard in the same direction. wear the same. Wouldn't you don't forget where we had that whole run. Odell beckham surrounded by two thousand sixteen two thousand seventeen everywhere you went. There was the back it was like dog. like we know. You ain't odell. But i was at shooed just after i moved here so i guess this is like two thousand eighteen essay best friend i was talking about. We were asked on spot. And some odell beckham try to be was like in despite and it was so bad. We made these women. We were just talking to him at bar and one of them goes up pokes him in the chest. Look at show fake ass. odell beckham. that was he. He was kind of light yet right. I mean he was definitely trying to pull off the back of now. Tell you though about getting mixed up. I ain't never going to get mad about that again. Like i think they get a little too an ambitious. Sometimes it make you into somebody but you never were retail. 'cause you too busy being a high caliber athlete right so when i was in college i at gap in lenox in atlanta. And you know you didn't have all the clothes on the floor. Everybody obviously but you know somebody closer or in the stock room and so people hit you and be like hey do you guys have this in a thirty eight thirty three thirty four. Yeah let me go to stop roman look and so you go to the stockroom you go downstairs. Okay got him you come back up and his leg which one of these white people ask me for these pants. I am not sure now. The other level you gotta remember about the gap it leaves at that time. The gap didn't have name tags. They had just little light two inch by two inch tags that sit gap on them. Maybe the persic ac- that maybe not but as you walk in right you'll black. Ants is walking around here with these pass and you try to figure out who the right person is. Start walking up on the right one. You can see like the terror come up and they face. It's like the movie and start souvenir onto closer. Closer is getting bigger and bigger and then the other person who has been looking for you though perhaps unsure which one you are. Then you see so all go. That's the direction. I'm going to head the other way. Oh my god. I i mean. I didn't work retail. I worked before football camps and all that stuff i worked dragging house express which was Chinese food court restaurant. And i i had. I had me a hassle going. If you if you came to the to that restaurant i was like i was scoop. All your food and then charge you. Whatever if you worked at the video game store view worked at anywhere that that i wanted to be used on get a couple extra stoops and also the employee is count and i was gonna come. I was fourteen. And i was gonna come down right down to your store immediately after my shift with my work. Cert- on hey was that no one was saying i knew men was got on that new man. Go work it out today. Ladda and so like clark was about fifteen minute drive. Maybe from lennox right subway. Moderate if you wanted to do that lays marta station right at the mall and so we all work somewhere in mall by dog network was so strong. The network was so strong like okay.

People was there it was like there was just great to be in that type of like social setting again and it wasn't like without any worries i was still looking around at certain athletes depending on what sport they play like. You you might. You might be making these different types of decisions looking at these people that way so it wasn't like completely stress free but it was nice having a good time with people laughing and and Not stressed out. At least at the highest level of stress about corona virus. Reverse dominance over people who don't know the sp's is not a you work here so we got you proposition Getting sb invite in whether it'd be to work the espn or just go. Whatever it is is not easy. There are a lot of people like i thought. Scott van pelt about this but he's been to the sp some small number of times like on one side of one hand type of situation like you'll really get that call man. I want to say it was like is either twenty four or twenty fifteen. I can't remember which. I feel like it was twenty fifteen. I didn't get the invite to the sp's but i put in some calls. And i got to the plug on the after party tastes like that's what i want in so i mentioned year because i was becoming somebody around these things you know like. They just bumped highly questionable up. Espn two espn people. Starting to write stories about me and stuff like that. Like i'm starting to feel like somebody so i'm ready to go to yes and so like i call my best friend from one thousand nine hundred eighty seven. You know what i'm saying live. I'm like man let's go out to l. a. Manas dude. sp thing right like this is up this momentum. The bus whitman we bought to hit. Sp's is bad to crack my plane. And i flew in day off. Okay doug my plane landed late not the biggest deal in the world. My luggage later much later. Luggage landed like three four days later. Yeah because i think that's bizarre. Typically on wednesday so. I got their own wednesday. My luggage inca. It wasn't an option for me. It might fit to go do espy stuff here. I was in l. a. Full four days. I did not get my gear until the night before. I left the night before i left. That's when i got my. Where did you go you you bought something for. I think i didn't have time to like era because they think about it. Is you know my body ain't got off the rag by you know what i'm saying. I do like for that occasion. There was no fit that i could go get our short notice. That wouldn't either have me out here. Flooding or look like it was one thousand nine hundred and nine like i just didn't have options dog disappointed. Ain't nobody called me about no damn espy. Nothing since you know what. I'm saying like none of this has happened. You know like i. I was peaking at this place around that time. You know what i'm saying. That was my chance. I do have an off the rack body which is quite a blessing because the coat. I didn't even get altered. And i bought it for like one hundred twenty dollars on the internet. Just google i. google pink. Sport coat came in the on. But i don't often think about baker myself as a celebrity because obviously like whatever people come up to me on the street and they say hey. Espn yes right right. He's being like that's essentially it is. That's not really all that cool but at espy's are you somebody if la everybody yeah fellow. Everybody knew was real legitimate. Celebrities was coming up to me trying to talk to me and it was like the weirdest thing where i'm thinking all right. I'm supposed to be doing these polls show interviews so i got to break the ice with these celebrities and i'm gonna hey how you doing i'm dominate. You mind coming over for an interview. Oh fox i know you like you wanna talk about sports like it was crazy to have that experience when anthony mackie was talking to me about my own takes. I was like oh i forget. How like for certain for certain for like real sports fans like they know us for real life where the celebrities who are also real sports fans who often towns are home route The middle of the day they watch us and they know it was just a cool experience to have that anybody asks me everybody money. I was like an hour man. He he moving this weekend otherwise he be here he mess around their host the whole thing but what gave it to anthony because he had to move. Friday friday's cover. Thank you know what. I'm saying like the out there every day. Boys bodega boyz was talking about fox. Rally those your boy. But that's an interesting thing. As you mentioned we do in particular like we are very famous with dudes especially like people do music. Espn's on in studio all the time and is a lot of dudes that's at home in the middle of the day because they got a different kind of job. And so that's the thing about working at seaport is that there's no telling who's gonna come in there and cats are coming in and they really feel like they know you and vice versa. Because they watch you so much like you could tell if it's liberty knew who you were and if they did you even have to say nothing you just walk over and daft up like it just went like all members going on good to see you brother. You don't like that. That kind of setup. I'll tell you though you talk about the feeling famous but also like yo. Espn type thing. I went to katie smith. All star game party in two thousand thirteen in houston right and so two thousand thirteen so this is before. I started doing highly before. I started like full-time doing how questionable so we get in there. I'm just doing around the horn right. I'm into party and some dude. And i'm assuming he was all cudi brown like he had to have been Dard but he sees me and it's like is like old buddy a cover to america beverages. You know what i'm saying es dare dog. He's like fall roll over. This never happened to me before in life like it's the thing i don't understand i'm like beverages like i'm like hey i don't know he's just going on and on and i'm trying to get out of it but i also don't want to turn my back on his do because that would be incredibly rude and so finally like he got himself together. I'm like meg to see you. Know all that stuff. And then turn. And i take two steps to do looks at me and goes a uja don day. And i was like no and now with my breakaway. But i got ways coming from.

I wish i had anything that was only mine anymore. I mean they. They know what. I'm down here that i i'm not looking for them but it doesn't stop them from coming on me to be honest with you.

'cause you know but anyway she rather than not she would like call it out which start heading up the steps of coming in Do like the knocking open because like the point of knocking is to get their attention. And then wait like you knock and wait for somebody to say come on in but i feel like with my parents do do the knock an open so it's like they knocking but opening at the same time. They just want me to stop doing whatever i'm doing. A case embarrass me with the problem. Is that docking turn. Don't necessarily give you enough. Tau despair yourself from a bit. Like all did a little bit more time. I don't know the funny thing about this whole week. I've been we've been trying to get back into the school stuff with the kids so that we don't have a complete summer drop off and we talk about incentives a lot you and me because of like economics in general and so trying to incentivize kids seems obvious where you connect the things they want with the things that you want them to do except when your kids are smart enough to know that those aren't real incentives so you think about why would you. Why do you go hunting. Do animals hind is because they know if they don't want they eat and so i'm talking to my son like you're gonna have to do this math before you get to the ipad. He's smart enough to realize like no. Actually we don't have to do this. Mave tickets get. you could. Just give me. And i'm like i'm trying to set up these these faulty incentives and it's just not working. I mean we eventually get it done. But as after forty five minutes of negotiate. And i'm like you could have been done by now. He don't care it's the point. I'm not going to do it just because you said to do it. I'm gonna make sure you know that. i know. This is ridiculous. Contrivance i'm approach and twenty twenty one. You really have access to the convincing tunein that. Your parents. Right like all negotiated. Eight children is a relatively do for died. That was that what it is today. I'll tell you this story. My buddy nick right. His daughter who favorite person in the world just about right which she was three years old. I will never forget as they had just moved into a place here in new york and they lived literally across the street from me toy store like all right you got to say no to that as a parent like that be by thought. They're like i don't know how that goes like we we head right. Let's say i mean that is literally put an addict right across the street from the dope house says exactly the same thing i thought. They just toys. That's like that everybody can live costume store. You know what. I'm saying like that. That's not play and so i'll never forget. She came as you three years old. She says daddy I wanna go to the toy store and nick was trying to get out somehow. He says okay. Well water my options and she says well we could go to the toy store and you buy me something and there is no other option. That's the one right like he was like. Why would i give you this other thing to choose from what i know. Exactly what it is. That i i mean. You can't negotiate with terrorists and that's what little kids are franken. And they're tiny little terrorizes. I learned that lesson a long time ago. Where it's we're not gonna some things you can't talk your way through because they are smart enough to understand it but not quite a strategic enough because like you need someone on the other end to like care about the outcome if you're going to negotiate with somebody but sometimes at a certain age kids they just don't care and you sitting there and trying to negotiate with like this conversation going in. I can't punch you know because this is this escalated to the point where words are no longer working so violence is obviously not something we can do. So we just gonna stop talking like. I just got to walk away. You have to walk away and and reconsidered model lessening about kids is we always talk about like innocence right like. That's the big thing that people like to refer to children there. So addison but like what it really comes down to. Is they get to the point. You know what. I'm saying like like all the noise. They whittled away get past all the noise or whatever the point is to them they get to that point. That's the perfect thing. So i said there's a long time ago when i first started have kids. It helped me to understand adults because we are not that much different. The difference between kids that adults in most cases is adults have figured out how to mask all the nonsense like the kids. they don't mask because they are straightforward about what they want how they want it when they go get it. They don't realize that it might. It might serve them to to lie. And take your around or to pretend that you don't want which you do want and i see that in adults too they just go the other direction and especially with my son and i know there are some gender dynamics that seem pretty obvious to me but at least in my household i recognize the difference. The major difference between me and my son is. I think some ideas ban he has. He has not quite got to that point yet. Like all ideas good ideas. If i thought about it i rode right to find out right only only way to go. I thought waikiki is a hurt. Your feelings is they the effort to not hurt. Your feelings isn't always. They don't really do favorite story. Shannon daughter has this amazing does a million different things all excellently daughter right. She's like three or four. She had to guide a car.

Mommy and the world braila nhs the best brother in the world and i was like shannon and the this bomani in the world she goes. I don't know. And if i try to like logic with it and be like i'm the only bomani you ever heard of. Then i realized that's the point. She told me she got daddy. Data points on the daddies. She's met other people's brothers. They pay on the parents into what she got. You know what i'm saying me. She looked at me and was like no. I'm gonna. I'm gonna need to do a little more research. Moms that experienced that worse than anyone else. The honesty of kids like they they keep it all the way. Real and then the complicating factor. Is that some of the things that they may be. judging about. things that they're being born has probably caused or contributed to and you gotta have you gotta have high self esteem be quite selfish short to be walking around kids make sometimes you got you know the crazy to save for people who don't have kids but anyone knows who has his nose and sometimes stuff is going down and the kids will remind you that you look at it as tight as as you should look like like four where you run around the house. Because that's their their their use cartoons and tv shows like that's the that's what people are supposed to look like. Nah i tell you this though and then we learned a little to too about themselves though you know what i'm saying like l. It's just the truth when they say it. You gotta tiptoe around everything to make. Sure there's don't turn into a craft fast or you just go ahead and go in for this gift because it's going to happen sometimes. I can't buy like you're going to do real this. This matthew sit bit. You should have been had this see. I want you folk. I do really well with just the fundamental understanding.
Supernatural with Ashley Flowers
The Legend of Charles Hatfield: Rainmaker
"Since ancient. Times wanted to understand the weather but without science they had to invent creative ways to explain it so the greeks told stories about a pantheon of gods who used whether for their own ends. The book of genesis gave us the story of noah and the catastrophic flood but by the time the industrial age was in full swing. People wanted to do more than explain the weather. They wanted to control it. After all by the nineteenth century powers that once seemed impossible. Even supernatural becoming commonplace humankind had harnessed electric light in glass bulbs. Couldn't someone figure out how to control the rain. The first man to vie for the title of scientific rainmaker was james pollard. Espy an american meteorologist. He believed that he could set these massive forest fires that would heat the air up and create enough condensation to make rain. Unfortunately for him and the forest he obliterated his theory didn't work. Throughout the rest of the nineteenth century other would be rainmakers had similar non results and pretty soon people began to suspect that the whole concept of weather modification was just wishful thinking until the early twentieth century. When a self taught weather aficionado enter the picture with a bit more optimism. His name is charles hatfield as a young man. Charles is working a day job as a sewing machine salesman when he comes across these stories about rainmakers like james pollard. Espy and he's like these guys are pedaling something valuable more than hope. They're selling life. Charles spent his youth working on his father's ranch in california so he understands the importance of rain. Water crops means a healthy harvest which means enough food to eat. If you could find a way to prevent droughts there might never be another famine. Sure every attempt at actually doing it has been a pretty big failure but maybe charles can crack the code and if he can he can definitely make a pretty penny off the deal. So charles learns everything he can about meteorology atmospheric pressure humidity wind patterns. It's not a formal education. But he feels like he really has a knack for it and when he's done with his books. Charles starts experimenting. He climbs a windmill tower near his father's ranch and starts messing around with some chemicals to create his secret formula. I'm not exactly sure what these experiments are or what goes into his miraculous rain potion. Charles never tells anyone his secrets. But i do know that by nineteen for a twenty nine year. Old charles is ready to go public with his new technology. He plays some ads in the local paper calling himself. A moisture accelerator. His work isn't magic. He stresses he says quote. I do not make rain. That would be an absurd claim. I simply attract clouds and they do the

An Introduction to Podcast Media Hosting
"Let's just really nile this one thing. We need to spend too much time on this. Because it could become a big thing your default hosting option at the moment nieces podcast hosting for people that are listening not website hosting specifically for hosting the media so your audio or video falls. So what are you going. Well it's a different question that went. I thought when. I was filling this out so just to for full disclosure right now. My podcasts are hosted with lipson. i also have a pint cast account. If i was starting over again today i might go with pied bean instead of lipson but my main concern for a even hobby podcast or would be to go with somebody that had. Ib podcast measurement guidelines two point. Oh statistics available because even if you're not gonna monetize at least you know. Those statistics are the same as another person that has statistics from an ib podcast measurement guidelines to puno certified host provider. And that. that's it. I mean you're not supposed to compare it to show a lot of people do and at least you know that you're comparing apples to apples versus oranges to come quotes. That's perfectly put and i agree. I i was only in for very long time. And it's probably because of the fist. The people that i locked used them and talk really positive in a positive way. I guess about them. So i just went with them for a long time. Cycled through others thinking that there's some magic ingredient that one of them will have the other stein thrill the same you just gotta get espy said when all the same. They're in the ballpark of offering the same coal faces but i'm using captivate don't fm now. And it is the only host of used in the last couple of years. Where i feel like. I'm looking at a differentiated product. The you is amazing. You can have as many shows as you want on the and for a hobbyist armel interested in paying to have more showers than my bad download limit calling or whether there's a number that i have to heat which they have won but start is everyone else they just talk about it

Who wants my government work. you know. it's bad it's ugly. You did this. This whole argument is just ridiculous because during the presidential election no one at the aftermath. Nobody was screaming. Oh texas has all this fraud always went you know. We need a recount in texas. No everybody was perfectly fine with the way the election ran but afterward things are so bad that we need to have all this reform. Texas is already the hardest state of the union to cast a ballot in. We have no need for more restrictions

"espy" Discussed on ESPN Chicago 1000 - WMVP
"Him. Peter. Rick is on the fall in love your show, man. Thanks for having me. Give me your favorite song that you wrote a great down in Europe. You know, I love love because area is on the line. I got a show on the I s see that may be seven People watch match empty as Jim Brockmeyer might give you some sports takes absolutely We're worried about our quarterback, Mr Brockmeyer. So what do you think about Robiskie? I'm not a tribute ski guy. Nobody outside. I got news for you to head. Nobody. Outside of Chicago is it's a biscuit guy. Nobody in Chicago's a Travesty Dynasty. So I think only your general manager is a good guy with high school and college sports not happening either. We gave out an honorary ESPY award to a deserving student athlete. We awarded a one very deserving local athlete and honorary ESPN Chicago SP. The Real Espy award. Those words are beautiful. Now. First we have on the line. Sara Carlson. She is the coach of the track and field team on it. A sweet girl high school coach Carlson. You know, my athlete came to mind immediately to nominate her coach, track and field. General Rogers, who was not only a star, track and field guys, also a star basketball player from Chanel won this award. What separates her? You know, I was a senior. She is our school record holder for the high jump. She jumped 59 last year's Junior Seau going into this season. Our goal. The two of us together was for her to win state because she's also a star on the basketball team. She doesn't join us until the end of February. 1 basketball's over so she only has to compete in one neat this year. We've got you know, on the line to General Rogers. I'd like to round up and Sam 5 11, you know, like 5 10 and three quarters I just round up the 5 11. You're saying you could high jump me? Oh, yeah. Go doesn't know a damn thing I want to ask both of you know, and Sarah What were the challenges like when suddenly sports were taken away from? Yes. So that Friday before senior night meat was when they started the quarantine, And then just the disappointment, not having our team be able to go out. Compete about for you, General. Well for me. I think the biggest challenge was trying to stay motivated and hasn't called that there would be a trance of the season would continue, um, was doing that at home workout was a bit of a struggle as you're not sure if season's gonna go on. There's really nothing you could do about it. You just got to keep going. I'm gonna keep working. Well, good luck and congratulations. It sounds like it's very well deserved, You know, to award someone this in a year That was so crazy for high school athletes all across the state in all across the country. We appreciate all you Thanks for listening. Okay? Grants. Thank you so much. The point is, there was many stories to talk about many people to celebrate. We came together as we were all battling the same pandemic..

Section 230: A Key Legal Shield For Facebook
"I can't have all three of you on without talking about two thirty. Which i've been instructed by producers to always explain what is two thirty a lot it says in it platforms are not liable for three users. Publish is very simple. You can just go read it yourself. Please god gracia employees. There's a lot of noise about two thirty in the world right now. there's a defense authorization act. That trump is. Insistent includes a repeal of two thirty. if or he's going to veto it. It appears that congress pass it with veto. proof majority is. It's a big deal at the same time. I mentioned this every time you're on. Joe biden stated position onto thirty as we should repeal it and he actually said it again last week in an interview. How does that play into these actions against face because of the conservative bias argument really ladders into. We're gonna take thirty away from you unless you change your moderation system into the way that we want it to. It's not really about taking thirty away but if you think that the game is to punish facebook or it's too big. It's hard to see how you would both revolt. You would take away because face to powerful and you'd go break them up like i don't. I don't quite see how those connect with adam curious. If you have a point of view. I mean biden. James argument is interesting. Because it's basically the opposite of trump's which is the problem with two thirty is that it means facebook doesn't have an incentive to moderate and dot actually feels like it plays in kind of okay like one of his tech advisers. Wrote this piece earlier this week that was section to thirty harms our kids because it means these giant platforms are allowing horrible stuff. I mean there were a lot of problems with it. But if the argument is section two thirty. Let's facebook do bad things and also they're powerful and they're doing bad things because of that. Those two things don't necessarily feel like they're in conflict. It's we need to take thirty away from facebook so that platforms will have an incentive to not let our kids see terrible things online and also facebook's too big and we break them up because they're also hurting our kids through dark patterns or advertising or whatever what do you think i mean the the two issues of run in parallel. If i didn't give you the two big tech policy issues of the year it's moderation in its scale and size and competition and trust and it seems like there's a convergence right inside of facebook. Yeah charlie wars a really good piece. Thursday in the new york times about the biden administration's relationship with facebook during the campaign. And this is a time when you would have assumed like maybe it would have gotten a little better because they were just talking all the time and instead it seems it just got much worse and a lot of his top. Staffers just became convinced that facebook was so tied to this posture of neutrality. That it was always going to have a disproportionate advantage for republicans who are gonna use it to spread and then you know various awful things and so on one hand. It isn't as if we've got a real policy proposal from joe biden on how to build a better internet right like most of what he has said has just repeal it but on the other hand Do i think it will be a priority for him. Well it sort of seems like it will be right lake with the. There's there is a political desire to see this happen. I think on both sides. The question is whether he can find any common ground with republicans. I just wonder if you break up the companies and you have multiple social platforms and they have different. Moderation standards doesn't that solve your two-thirty problem. Right that you're matt. How they moderate because you could just leave and go to another one that there's more to your liking it solve the conservative version of it. Which is these companies are censoring us. It doesn't solve the liberal version of it which is these companies are allowing bad actors to put up horrible misinformation or two again. I keep coming back to this op-ed about two thirty because it was so so bad. It was like the problem with this. Is that youtube allows videos of pepe pig with knives and like i can't convey. How bizarre was suggesting the should be able to sue you too because it has child inappropriate videos but that aside the argument is more that there are these shadowy networks of people who are trading horrible stuff. And letting your kids see horrible stuff and those things. They're not quite tied to like the size of a platform like a lot of the to thirty arguments. That come from. The left are based on really small sites like revenge porn sites. So i think it's much less of an issue. I do think there is. This is a place. We sort of see a combat like an overlap from the antitrust case and the two thirty eight where like so you were talking about the conservative case against two thirty but i think i don't think having different platforms really solves it like you can't just go to parlor and say it's fine now because i'm on parlor because what you immediately see is parlors a much smaller audience and so the fact that you've had to leave facebook and go to parlor means fewer people are hearing your ideas like it's just it's just straightforwardly true and this goes back to what we see in the in the antitrust cases which is that they say. Look anyone who's offering directly competitive service to facebook. Facebook doesn't let them have this. Api access it can't spread as well through the platform and then eventually it can't gain users dies and so if i'm out here trying to share my pepe pig knife artwork. The you know suddenly having if i if i have to go to some weird forum and everyone is literally like literally everyone in the world is on facebook because that's where human beings go now like i. I don't know there is something weird about it. I don't know of making the like having the government mandates standards or doing it through whatever we are process were using to change to thirty. Makes it better. But there is like a real algorithm Speech control issue kind of at the heart of it and there's something that none of these platforms have really try which is giving the users more control right like in chris. This is the thing that i want to see. People try is like let. Let me decide if i wanna see politics and my feet if i want to see nudity in feet if i wanna see curse words maybe i wanna see hate speech at my feed. Give it all to me. That is what parliament. You're just you're know there's a difference between not moderating at all and allowing me to choose what i want from a platform and that's you would you'd build this kind of goes to api's interoperability you. Would you would allow a variety of clients to flourish. This clients would have all kinds of different tools and they would all come back to some central system. Although that's pretty at odds with how people have been pressuring facebook to moderate. Which is the problem is that people are seeking out antitax groups or they're seeking out q. And on groups and the thing we have to do is get those things off the platform altogether. I think i. I do think there's just a real. I connect us that we talk about all the time which hilariously in this context is much more straightforward. Which isn't that neutrality. Which either we're going to tell the. Isp's exactly what to do. We're going to regulate them tightly. And say this is how you treat the bits or we're gonna find a way to make much more broadband competition happen so that people can leave and soon as there's a little competition all the espy's do the right thing. We see that pattern over and over again. It's a little trickier with free speech on social platforms network effects. But i just come back to that framework all the time of if we add more competition into the system. Isn't it natural that all the people who work at instagram at an independent instagram will say well. We're not gonna make the same mistakes twice. We're going to build a user facing moderation tool or we're going to build client access allows third parties to build kid-friendly instagram. So we don't have to do it and it's also not our sponsors ability. I have no idea but is like a hypothetical that is much more interesting to me than ted cruz. writing facebook's content moderation policies. Okay last question. Casey what what happens next well there. Some of us were asking yesterday. Is facebook gonna try to file a motion to dismiss this case and that is apparently still being discussed as a recording. This the suit has been live for barely twenty four hours so i think facebook is still considering its options but also laid out their case. So you know there's already been some discovery that has happened. And i imagine this will now move into a secondary phase when i talked to the google folks about what they were expecting from their antitrust lawsuit. They said it'll take like maybe twelve months to twelve twelve to eighteen months to play out And i'm expecting it'll be at least that long hair. Well it's going to be a fun year.

FBI Report: Bias-Motivated Killings At Record High Amid Nationwide Rise In Hate Crime
"Nineteen saw a record high for reported hate crime murders in the united states according to the annual hate crime statistics report released on monday by the fbi. Hate crimes are described by the f. b. i. as an offense motivated by bias toward race ethnicity ancestry religion sexual orientation disability gender and gender identity fifty. One people were murdered as a result of hate crimes in two thousand nineteen more than double the number in two thousand eighteen and the largest figures since the federal government began tracking the numbers in the early nineteen nineties. This total includes the twenty three people who were killed in the el paso mass shooting last august. The suspect patrick crusius is facing federal. Hate crime charges overall. There were seven thousand three hundred and fourteen hate-crimes with eight thousand five hundred fifty two victims reported in two thousand nineteen by law enforcement agencies. Who sent data to the fbi. There was a two point seven percent increase from two thousand eighteen and a reversal in what had been three years worth of reported hate crime. Incidence declining the fbi's report is another reminder that we have much work to do to address hate in america southern poverty law center or espy elsie president and ceo. Margaret wang said in a statement each of these incidents represents the targeting of an individual or community for violence or vandalism because of their identity or personal characteristics more than half of the offenders in the crimes cited targeted individuals because of bias against their race. Ethnicity or ancestry as was the case allegedly for crusius twenty one percent of all the crimes are motivated by a bias against religion and sixteen percent.

Since a large portion of police headquarters and agencies are not mandated to report hate crimes out of the fifteen thousand five hundred and eight law enforcement agencies that participate with fbi crime data collecting only two thousand reported at least one hate crime in two thousand

Seattle Police announce arrests related to arson, bat assault on officer
"Charging decision in the Briana Taylor case of a living back at the end of September, September 24th or so there was national protests about that decision. And, of course here in Seattle, there were protests. And that was the weekend that we saw the one protester who said the officer ruled his bicycle over his head. And in that same demonstration, there were some fires lit Dumpster fires, things like that. And then a cop that was hit in the back of the head. With a baseball bat. So originally there was an arrest of a Jacob Greenberg, who's 19 for the Dumpster fires, And that was several weeks ago He was released and then last week he was rearrested again. Shifty, has talked about the arrest today. The actions alleged in these cases clearly demonstrate the ongoing violence. It continues to be connected to some of the riots occurring across the city. Jacob Greenberg is charged with assault in the first degree for hitting an ESPY officer in the head with a metal bat. So hard during a riot that the officer's helmet was cracked. I'm sure you've seen some of these photos. These disturbing images on your broadcast and on social media. According to charging documents after the brutal attack, the national from Kirkland Express remorse Not for potentially fatally assaulting itself. For the fact that the officer was wearing a helmet that most likely saved his life. Greenberg also texted a friend that he would like to and I quote slit every SBD throat. So that was in the charging documents of this same 19 year olds who is the stepson of a former state lawmaker who Is accused now of hitting that officer over the head with the bat. Did you guys see that It was viral video when actually so he's not charged and he originally assigned said he was released to his family and the prosecutor had actually asked for a higher bail. I believe in that, but the judge went ahead and released him. Now he's being held on $750,000 bail. Thea. Other arrests related to protest that came last last week or recently, Dia's also talked about today. 20 year old Jonathan Do. Gir of Olympia is also in jail, charged with arson for throwing a flaming object. Ignited fused into a Capitol Hill's coffee shop that caused an immediate explosion. Luckily, no one was hurt. Distance regard for people's lives and safety by throwing flaming objects into a business. This can't be our new normal. Business is small and large, are struggling during this pandemic. Does that mean and it's completely unacceptable that this is the ongoing violence is on ly com pounding their challenges.

OT and IT integration for profit-driven operation
"Operational Technology and information technology are OT nit. This integration is required for sharing information on all levels of manufacturing organizations to achieve profit-driven operation or PDO. Process Industry companies implement real time production performance improvements that are line from the management level to the plant floor. For an example, here will look at a particular pedia solution, which takes production production performance indicators traditionally monitored by plant management on a weekly monthly basis embrace these indicators down to the technical and operations level using industrial best practices to create semantic performance indicators or what will refer to as espy is. These SPIC. Displayed in real time by utilizing big data from the distributed control system or the DS. This information helps operators, engineers, and upper management stay aligned to promptly improve production by providing performance alarms guidance messages in performance balanced score by using it technologies such as the cloud consulting services. It can't be incorporated to uncover additional improvements via the analysis of historical production performance parameters. This requires the merging of expertise in ot with the industrial internet of things with it technologies along with process industry best practices to enable production performance optimization over the life cycle of a process plant. Now. When I introduced pedio, some process plant personnel may confuse it with advanced process control and optimization in reality plants should implement all three of these technologies working concer advanced process control or AP see is used to control multiple control loops for partial process optimization such as increasing throughput reducing giveaway loss optimization is used to manage multiple ABC instances for entire processes. ABC optimization are very powerful technologies, but they do not work properly if the model is not updated on a timely basis in each often turned off by operators due to a lack of deep understanding. PTO addresses these issues by helping operators understand the effectiveness of ABC optimization through the visitor visualization of relevant s p. is and trade offs. This allows operators to make the decisions required to maintain timely updates. pedia Solutions Leverage real-time an accurate plant big data from a C. S and integrate this data with domain knowledge to create S.. P. is these SPF NAP typically connected from plant operation to plant management much like the human body uses synapses to connect nerves. SPIC encompassing five main management objectives and spent four levels of process Plant Organization for reference. These management objectives include production, prophet, energy reliability, and safety, and these roles include leadership, management, technical, and operations. The high level management objectives are production, profit, energy, reliability, and safety like mention, and of course, the organizational levels of leadership management technical in operation. So spa creation requires extensive domain knowledge of the process plants operation. For example, by applying hundreds of personal years of collective experience and expertise companies have structured more than twenty eight hundred S P is for refinery operations in eight hundred espy is for ethylene operations. These espy is must be customized for each situation because each process plan is different, once S P is are created, the next step is to configure DASHBOARDS pedia software uses S P, is to configure many different types of real time SPIC dashboards. Each process units home dashboard gives an overview performance related to the five management objectives of Production Prophet Energy Reliability, and safety. This dashboard hopes users visualize SPIC balance on the five management objectives by showing what objectives are alarm or alert state and what SPIC trade offs may be required to address. Each issue cooking on a roll level leads a user to another dashboard appropriate to that users level of responsibility. These dashboards can then be used to improve operations as each provides not only an indication of current status but also advise for making improvements pedia software automatically links all of These dashboards to coordinate actions on all levels of plants organization by providing performance alarms, guidance messages, and performance balanced score pedio helps leadership management and technical and operations. Personnel stay aligned to promptly improve production performance operation and technical personnel relying ot to dashboards and take actions while management and leaderships more often employ it to view dashboards provide advice ot it. Integration is therefore crucial because it allows information to be communicated in real time across all levels of the organization. Ot I immigration is also essential for enabling consulting services from external experts located remotely from the plan cloud digital twin and other services allow plant data to be communicated globally
The 11th Hour with Brian Williams
NBC/WSJ poll: Support for Biden has almost doubled
"NBC News Wall, Street Journal poll released yesterday, and support. For Joe Biden has almost doubled after just last week's debate the poll taken before trump announced he had covid nineteen has biden by fourteen, fifty, three to forty nine still with us our professionals. Steve Schmidt, Robert Gibbs Robert I am duty-bound to point out I think Hillary Clinton on this date in two thousand sixteen was ahead by exactly fourteen points with that in mind. What would your charge to your fellow Democrats be? Well I would. I would ignore the polls. And go full steam ahead on what you have to do to win this race next continue to assure the American people. That you're capable and that you've got a plan for implementing that. The. Change that you need to see in the White House but I think Lewis startling about that poll. This race has been remarkably stable Brian it's been stable for a really long time regardless of all that gets thrown at it, and so the NBC NBC eight previous polls, the average margin was Biden by eight percent in February it was Biden by eight percent in September. It was Biden by eight percent now it's fourteen. The American people got a good hard look at Donald Trump in that debate and they liked absolutely nothing of what they saw I don't think Joe Biden is going to win this race by fourteen points. The one of the last moments Donald Trump had available to him to begin to change the trajectory of this race in his favour not only did he miss that opportunity, but he actually handed a significant amount of support with now just four weeks left in this race to his opponent Joe. Biden. Mister Gibbs makes a great point Mr Schmidt and let's go further on. Politics. Steve Mitch McConnell is seventy eight. He is a polio survivor he is scared to. Of Covert nineteen by all available evidence politically, he is scared to death of not pushing through the third Supreme Court nominee what's going to happen? Do you think in the US Senate three Republican members down with positive diagnoses? Well look specifically when it comes to stopping a Supreme Court Nomination Brian you have to think about it like trying to rob a train before you can get to the safe with the gold on it on the train to derail the train you have to slow it down you have to be able to get on the train and so what the Democrats have to do is not be focused on delaying the hearings pass the election they need to be focused on delaying the hearings for the first day they need to push it back one day, and then once you can push it back one day you can. Get the second day, but the reality is is it'd be very difficult for the Senate to hold onto the time line because total recklessness of so many of these senators and of course, trump at the trump administration and all of the chaos that we're seeing play out over over this weekend, and then elect Wurley for the Senate I. Mean This is just a disaster I. Think Certainly Mitch McConnell understands. He's on the precipice of losing his Senate majority. It's almost a certainty that he will. It may be a wipeout. You see for example, Mike spn Mississippi Mike espy is in a very close race now you see. The Kansas Senate race, the Democratic candidate is points up there. So the it seems like the walls are collapsing on all of this. This was a terrible terrible week for trump and for all the trump of batters, enablers and accomplices in the United States Senate I, mean, it started with the with the debate and it got worse from there the. Senior leadership of the campaign scandalized there is a mutant in the campaign on Friday night. PEOPLE DON'T WANNA show up to work too terrified to go into the White House profound mistrust of their leadership, and then there's reports out tonight from the incomparable Gabe Sherman for example, a Vanity Fair talking about the divide in the family looking at how crazy trump's behaviors been. Over the course it is last weekend with Donald Trump junior apparently talent people that they have to try to rain man knowing what a disaster this is. So my view is this is all coming down the Walzer collapsing we're seeing that play out everything we're seeing trump do is from a position of weakness and the idea now that he's going to be able to. CAST himself as some type of hero for having defeated cove at I think is. A ludicrous delusion on the part of him Sean Hannity and his

How I Built This
The Inside Scoop on Ben & Jerry's
"There's something really comforting about a pint of Ben and Jerry's even though it's full of sugar and Saturated Fat. It somehow feels okay. You know what I mean. Maybe it's the fair trade symbol on the front or the we buy from local dairy farmers on the side of the pine or most likely seeing Ben and Jerry's photo on it because you kind of know they're good guys that their hearts in the right place and the thing is all that peace and justice and love and equality stuff that Ben and Jerry's kind of tied together with brand it's real. It wasn't a gimmick it wasn't a strategy designed to attract customers. Because it's who they are. There weren't social enterprises back when these guys started and they certainly never plan to get rich but they did do well and they did do good and their amazing story of building. One of the most beloved ice cream brands actually begins almost sixty years ago. When Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield or at the same middle school on Long Island in New York? We were both fat. This kids we were both Nerdy not not in the mainstream socially. We were the two slowest fattest kids in gym class. You know if you're running around the track and you're half left behind everybody else. There's another guy there. Besides you get pretty friendly with a guy and did you end up going to the same high school. We went to Calhoun high school. We graduated. Barry was a math league. I was a debate club. I let her to debate letter and math. You guys grow up in Long Island. You Finish High School there and did you. Where did you go Jerry? Where did you go to College Ben? Where'd you go? I went to a lot of colleges. I went to Colgate I went to skid more I went to. Nyu went to the new school. What you did the circuit I dropped out of all those are And then I finally joined the university without walls which was the most unstructured college program at the time. The idea was that the whole world was your campus. You go out there and learn whatever you wanted to learn the new comeback to this administrative body and proved that you learn it and they give you a degree and I dropped out of there too so that was my college career still too much structure. Fan and Jerry. How about you? I went to Oberlin College in Ohio. I did four years straight. I was premed and applied to and got rejected from lots of medical schools on two different occasions. So so you guys were. I mean look failures. Let's be honest. Chat is untrue. But what happened after you graduate? How did you guys reconnect? Well I I was working Out of school for disturbed. Kids in the ADIRONDACKS. I was teaching pottery there and then I decided I wanted to try to learn a try to be a real potter. You know those who can't teach those who can do well. I tried doing and Nobody would buy my pots so I I left the adirondacks. I moved to New York City in order to get some more other influences on my pottery and of course it was so expensive to live in New York the needed to spend my time making rent driving cab and so I had this apartment. Pretty grungy apartment. Jerry showed up in New York. And you moved into Ben's apartment or you just you just ended up both by did sewed this after I graduated college after my first bout of medical school rejections I moved in with Ben in New York City and then I left and went to North Carolina and after my second bout of medical skirt Jackson's I connected with Ben Again and it was at that point we decided to Put our fortunes together and Open up a little shop which yeah which turned out to be an ice cream business. You know we. We didn't exactly think of it as a business. We thought of it as a venture like. Let's do something because we're right right. That's exactly right. Let's do something for a couple of years and then after we do that. Let's do something else. We talked about becoming cross country truck drivers after we did this ice cream shop so was ice cream. The the the main idea. Was that what you were going to do from from the beginning. Because because I've read that that you weren't really sure what kind of shop be we're GONNA do. Yeah we thought we would do something with food because we'd always liked to eat and we wanted to live in a college town so we thought about picking a food that was becoming popular in big cities but had not yet been brought to a college town and at that time the foods we thought about where bagels and homemade ice cream so we we went to a used restaurant supply store to price out BAGEL making equipment. This was G in G restaurant supply. All New York Luis There Luis this old guy with a gold chain around his neck and a big cigar in his mouth and He he told us we didn't have enough money to buy BAGEL equipment. He also told us I wouldn't screw you. Life's too short so I'm curious. I'm curious were you. Because you guys were mid twenties and did you sit down like you know. Hang out late nights putting out a strategy thinking Starting to think about different ideas you could do together and you meeting in in cafes during the day or was it a candidate even. How did you even start to develop this idea? It was just much less. It was just much more sort of the old days before cafe culture right right. No we did not meet in cafes to discuss this but we did discuss it quite a bit and we researched it quite a bit. We sent away for thirty espy. A pamphlets that cost between fifteen cents and three dollars per on all the different aspects of running a business. This is just like pamphlets from the from the small business that you were available. The government had how to calculate your break even point Pretty pretty basic stuff our goal when we open. Let's to make twenty thousand dollars a year a piece which was pretty good money. I guess in in the late. Seventy s right. No it was shitty money and it took us a long time to achieve that goal when you were in New York and of thinking about what you could do. How did you settle on on an ice cream shop? At how did you settle on Burlington Vermont? Well we settled on ice cream because Bega Clinton was too expensive and we settled on Burlington Vermont because originally we settled on Saratoga Springs and we actually moved to Saratoga Springs to get ready to open up the place and We're spending most of our time working on this business plan for an ice cream shop and doing a lot of research and we took this correspondence course and how to make ice cream. We were doing the correspondence course. We got the big college text book called. Ice Cream by Williams are buckled. Wendell as Arbox. Thank you the father of modern American ice cream and Jerry could understand that very complex textbook because he had this biochemistry background from his failed medical right so there were some other ice cream shop that opened up in Saratoga Springs before us it was called Afternoon Delight. Did they make good ice cream? We left town. They opened up. Just figure we'RE NOT GONNA WE'RE NOT GONNA open up here because we didn't want to compete and we figured we we had a better chance of success if we opened up in a place where there wasn't much competition and originally we were looking for warm rural college towns in the all. The warm ones already had ice creams as we went further and further north opened and the only town left that we knew anything about was BURLINGTON. Which you know is an hour and a half south. The Canadian border. It's cold there wasn't much ice cream here. I just want to pause for a SEC. Because I think a lot of people here Ben and Jerry's and think these guys were hippies which is true and they're you know they're sort of Activists and and but but that it was just kind of slapdash but you guys really did. Actually I mean there were some method to this you researched. You actually scope out possible locations. I mean this wasn't I mean you were really actually trying to do this in a methodical way. We're very hard worker. Yeah I mean no but when you describe it your your And yes all those things happen. But the way you're describing it is putting a lot more thought and planning into it then then we actually did. I mean we. We just took one step at a time and we did whatever the next thing was in front of us. I I think it was near that time that we kind of realized that the word business is you know. Essentially a kind of a busy nece that is mostly commonsense and a lot of

Police Raid Offices of Alexei Navalny
"This week police also rated the office of Moscow's most well-known opposition figure Alexei Navalny and his team on top of that one of Navan as close allies was forcibly conscripted into the Army Nikita. Cooler Chekhov knows that man from Navales Group the Anti Corruption Foundation Makita joined us from Berlin. They cannot taking forcefully to the army is just. There is no such legal way to do that. So in and this is why this is so unusual because it's just something not within the law and it's like so cynically taken to the place where there is no communication and there is no civil as as we know there is no civil transport of civil service to displace journalists won't be able to get there so lawyers won't be able to get unless they got the seats in the military the plane so this is a relatively new tactic. By the Kremlin what what concerns you most about it well because it's actually prison sentence for one year for the person because was he would be in the accident he won't be able to leave and it's and at the same time he has the military he has. Medical conditions prevented him from serving in the army. And so it's something extraordinary brain. It's something like like like arrest or detention Nikita. Help US understand. What exactly is the goal of love? FBI The Anti Corruption Foundation of his organization. What is the work you do? We are making the news with publish them. And we informed the General Russian from public on the on what is actually happening and how the corruption works in the highest level of the Russian government. This is just the basic idea at the same time since Aleksei Alexander Valentine's the pollution and he's like main platform is the Fighting corruption we we like we support his main political. restful and as I said earlier. You're in Berlin. Nick you're actually wanted In Russia by the F. Espy the domestic security forces out. Why are you willing to take these risks continuing to do this? Work on behalf of Putin's opposition. It was almost like seven or six six years ago when I at one point thought that time and not going to be anymore in the corporate environment. And I'm GonNa do something for my country and sideshow to sewer Kwalik State. So it was watching Alexei navalny crack jokes with his colleagues and make light of the raid while it was happening. I'm sure you haven't lost your sense of Russian humor humor but I mean how are you able to do that end in Berlin. Do you still see the humor in all this well If you are in Berlin it's easy to see Jolson that because you don't have that risks that your computer will be stolen by the police officers you get used to it. I think of our employees were at least interrogated or detained one Johnson. Some of them spent several months in in in in this shot detentions still nothing funny about detention so what. We're looking at Here at the end of 2019 is the Kremlin staging a number of schemes to silence the opposition in Russia. What's next for F-? PK The anti corruption foundation or are you looking more at twenty twenty one when there are parliamentary elections in Russia so we have implemented smart votes tactic or smart vote system in this year earrings summer and it was successful with say here. Are The candidates that time notes anyhow links to the United Russia. The pro-government So we expect that we go to use the same tactic. I'm this SMUT. Vote System in two thousand twenty one in the State Duma elections however it depends ends on the activities and the steps of the government because we if that they are trying to implement the new restrictions and Internet's attempting to implement them because they would like to block some particular contents or some particular videos in Youtube for example some particular website like the smart. Whoa let's see what they will do? So our tactic may change Makita Kulikov in Berlin. He works on the Investigations Unit at the Anti Corruption Foundation.

Navy Secretary forced out after Trump's war crimes intervention causes division and chaos in military
"So this is right now. Probably the the world's most famous talk yesterday. President trump congratulated America's favorite member of the Armed Services Code Him. The dog help take out the leader of Isis. And we just gave Conan a metal plaque. And it's really uh and I actually think exactly what was going on the mall. That was all smiles. That is not the mood at the Pentagon right now because while Conan might have a job former Navy secretary Richard Spencer does not to wash now where the navy sector has been forced to resign resigned at odds with President trump and his Pentagon secretary over the handling of navy seal warcrimes case as we reported yesterday so I went back to president. Trump's defense of navy seal convicted deposing with the corpse of a prisoner a teenager. Spencer's boss defense. Secretary Mark S. Burt originally said this was all about not respecting the chain of command but yesterday we started hear from the president himself and exactly how this forced resignation went down. ABC's chief global affairs correspondent. Martha Raddatz is with us. So Martha I mean what have we learned over the last twenty four hours. Well the president clearly is the one who ordered the Pentagon to let Eddie Gallagher keep his seal Triton Pin with any gallagher. Did you know that story Mary. Well they wanted to take away and I said No. You're not gonNA take it away. He was a fighter. He was one of the ultimate fighters tough guy and secretary criterion Esperer. The defense secretary said okay. Basically I give up. We're not gonNA have this review where it was possible that he could have lost that Trident. Pin meaning his signifies. He's a seal but more than that his rank which provides benefits as well and I was going to confuse Martha because originally Mark Asper that defense secretary saying. Hey Guy Brand under me Richard Spencer Kinda went behind my back and talk to the White House about this deal but the deal was let gallagher. Keep us pain. which would from the words of Richard Spencer it really sounded like he is not on board with US Navy seal or what the White White House is doing it? It's all very confusing and secretary. Asper made clear that he and Mark Milley the chairman of the Joint Chiefs wanted. The process has to go forward. Wanted to allow the Navy to review gallagher and whether he deserved to keep that tried to pin and his rank doc and benefits defense secretary. espy says he fired Spencer for going around him. In dealing with the gallagher issue what happened according to Esber. Is that Secretary Spencer. The Navy Spencer who is a trump appointee was talking to someone at the White House White House folks and saying look just let the review go forward But in the end he'll keep his Trident Pin Navy Secretary Richard Spencer just issued a statement saying he quote cannot in good conscience obey in order he believes violates his sacred oath. What does this whole controversy mean for president trump then and his role as commander in chief? I listened closely to the President from the Oval Office US on Monday. I think what I'm doing sticking up for our armed forces and there's never been a president that's going to stick up for them and has like like I have including for him to say look. They wanted to take his pin away. And I said you're not going to take it away. He was great fighter. And then you have a system where these warriors with him get put in jail for twenty five years. I'm going to stick for our warrior. I will stick up for the warriors. Okay thank you very much. Everybody those I people in Special Warfare Community who are totally against gallagher keeping that trident say that is not what their culture promotes their culture promotes order and discipline that when the fighting gets tough no matter how mad you are and how angry at that Isis fighter in what all those horrible people stand for. You're a better person and I've been asked him. I mean you know people in the military how I mean. Did you have a ballpark idea of how many of them agree with the president. That guys like gallagher kind of get a bad rap and that our soldiers need more leeway in the fog of war with prisoners of war. I mean are there are a lot of voices like that. I have not really talked to anyone. No one is reached out. In any way saying gallagher was a great guy we are back with Fox News alert update in the case of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher and he certainly says he has his supporters and we have seen them. I'm trying to encourage people to join the most elite forces. This is a perfect example of how you can destroy that recruitment but I I was in touch with someone I vastly vastly respect. WHO's been in the navy seals for decades and he said the leaders of the special warfare community will feel like they've been chopped off at the knees he's by having the president's Stop Dish Review the jury acquitted gallagher on the most serious charges but convicted him proposing an picture next the body of a teen Isis fighter? They've already taken away about a hundred and Fifty Trident since twenty eleven for lesser offenses. And this this community is so proud of how they got there what they do and what they stand for and there are many of them who do not believe leave that Eddie Gallagher stands for that anymore. The plan is for him to retire soon but he will retire with that pin on his
