[Assistant] I knew that Annie and Rosamond went to Claude's house and saw the stamp. Then it rained for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that after the rain stopped, Pip went to Claude's house and saw the stamp too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew the stamp had been at the edge of Claude's table. I knew it was not in Claude's house now. How did it get out? And where was it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the big stegosaurus had not helped the case. Perhaps I had been thinking wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps I'd forgotten that there are two sides to every stamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps I should think about the sticky side instead of the stegosaurus side. Think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sticky, I said, when I walked inside and saw Sludge. Sludge was licking his dog bowl. He had not been much help on this case. Or had he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remembered when Sludge tried to lick the sticky side of a stamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge's wet tongue would have made the stamp very sticky. A very sticky stamp STICKS!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly I knew that Sludge was a great detective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that the sticky side of the stamp could be important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, knew that anything wet would make a stamp very sticky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought of wet things. I thought of drips and drops. I thought of rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Annie and Rosamond went to Claude's house, it was not raining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when Pip went to Claude's house, it had been raining and stopped. Raindrops were on the trees. Puddles were on the sidewalk. Hmm. I, Nate the Great, thought of puddles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought of Pip stepping in them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a stamp from my desk and put it on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went outside and stepped in a few puddles. Then I went back inside and stepped on the sticky side of the stamp. The stamp stuck to my shoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same thing must have happened to the Stegosaurus stamp and Pip's shoe at Claude's house. Sludge had given me the clue I needed. Now I knew that I had to see Pip's shoes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went to Pip's house. I rang the bell. Pip opened the door. I looked down at his feet. He was wearing slippers. Where are your shoes? I asked. Pip looked down at his feet. He opened his mouth. Then he said, my shoes were all wet from the rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After I left Claude's house I swapped them for a pair of dry slippers at Rosamond's yard sale. I took the slippers off the swap table and put my shoes there. Thank you, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I went back to Rosamond's yard sale. We went up to the swap table. The sticky case is almost over, I said. But, Pip's shoes were not there. Rosamond came over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope you don't want to swap your cat hairs, she said. I want Pip's shoes, I said. Where are they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just sold them to Annie for ten cents, Rosamond said. It was my big sale of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I ran to Annie's house. She was outside with Fang. I saw two shoes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One was on the ground. The other was in Fang's mouth. Are these pip shoes? I asked. They were, Annie said. I bought them for Fang to chew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, saw the bottom of the shoe Fang was chewing. Something small, square, and dirty was stuck to it. At last I had found the Stegosaurus stamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, Nate the Great, knew that finding was not everything. Getting was important too. I thought fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show me Fang Stegosaurus' smile, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smile, Fang, Annie said. Fang smiled. The shoe fell to the ground. I picked it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, peeled off the stamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The case was solved. We took the Stegosaurus stamp to Claude's house. The stamp was dirty, sticky, icky, and ugly. But Claude was happy to get it. Sludge and I walked home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were careful not to step in any puddles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, am a great detective. I have just solved a big case. It did not look like a big case when it started this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dog Sludge and I were running around the block for exercise. We ran past Annie and her dog Fang. We ran past Rosamund and three of her cats. We ran past Finley and his friend Pip. We ran home. I saw a piece of paper on my doorstep. I picked it up. It was thin paper. V.I.T.A. was printed in ink on it. The paper was torn off around V.I.T.A. What did it mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got my dictionary. I looked up Vita. I found that Vita could be the start of a word. Vita could be the start of vitamin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, knew there was a missing piece or pieces to the paper. Who or what had torn them? I let Sludge sniff the piece of paper. We will look for the pieces, I said. I, Nate the Great, thought. Who or what tears paper? Of course, Rosamund's cats. Four cats, sixteen claws. Sixteen claws could tear a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wrote a note to my mother. Then I tore it into pieces. Then I fitted the pieces back together. Dear mother, I am looking for missing pieces. When they fit like this, I will be back. Love, Nate the Great. I put a pancake in my pocket. Then Sludge and I went to Rosamund's house. Rosamund was outside with three of her cats. Rosamund looked strange, but she always looked strange. Hello, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Rosamund said. I did not leave a note on your doorstep. I looked at her cats. They look strange too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My cats have been with me all morning, Rosamund said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except Big Hex. Big Hex spent the morning in his favorite tree. Big Hex tears paper, I said. Yes, Rosamund said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did Big Hex tear, rip, scratch, shred, cut, slit, or slash a piece of paper today? Ask him, Rosamund said. I looked up. I saw Big Hex sitting on a branch of the tree. I, Nate the Great, was in luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a piece of paper stuck on a twig, close to Big Hex. Too close. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the pancake. I threw it to the ground. Big Hex jumped down and started to eat the pancake. I reached up and grabbed the piece of paper. Now I had two pieces. I put them together. They fit, I said. It is a message. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the paper says, invitation, come to my house at three. Vida was part of invitation. You solved the case, Rosamund said. No, I said. There is still a missing piece with a name on it. What name? Rosamund asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The name of the person who wrote the invitation, I said. I, Nate the Great, will find the missing piece. I will find it before three. I started to leave. Wait, Rosamund said. Big Hex wants to thank you for the pancake. How does Big Hex thank, I asked. With a kiss, Rosamund said. I, Nate the Great,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did not want to be kissed by anyone who tears, rips, scratches, shreds, cuts, slits, and slashes. No thanks for the thanks, I said. Sludge and I ran home. It was time for lunch. I made some pancakes. I gave Sludge a bone. We ate and thought. Where was the missing piece with the name on it? I, Nate the Great, had to know by three o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw Annie and her dog, Fang, coming down the street. They were with Finley and Pip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pip does not say much. Finley says too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, am looking for a piece of paper with a name on it, I said. Why are you great? Finley asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I solve cases, I said. I find and I find out. Why don't you find the piece of paper, Finley asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate the Great will find it, Annie said. Ha, Finley said. Maybe he's great, maybe he's not. Pip said nothing. Finley and Pip walked away. Sludge turned and followed them. I turned and followed Sludge. Annie and Fang turned and followed me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw Finley drop a piece of paper into the sewer and walk away. I looked into the sewer. I did not like the way it looked. But the paper was there. It could be the missing piece. How could I get the paper out? I, Nate the Great, needed something long and sharp. I saw something long and sharp beside me. Fang's teeth. Then I had another idea. I looked down at the paper again. It looked blank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The print must be on the side that is facing down, I said. We must wait. Wait for what? Annie asked. Wait for the water in the sewer to make the paper very wet. The invitation is printed in ink on thin paper. When paper is thin and the printing on it is dark, water can make the printing show on the other side. Then we can read the name. But won't the printing look backwards? Annie asked. Yes, but nothing is perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, say that nothing is perfect. The paper was getting wetter and wetter. I saw some printing on it. I saw phony clue, I said. I, Nate the Great, was mad. I had never had a phony clue before. I did not know what to do. I could not find the missing piece. I looked at the pieces in my hand. I, Nate the Great, thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am looking at what I have. Perhaps I should look at what I do not have. How can you do that? Annie asked. When you do not have it. Look, I said. When I put the two pieces together, the empty space that is left is shaped like a boat. So the missing piece is shaped like a boat. I, Nate the Great, will look for a paper boat. What if you can't find it before three o'clock? Annie asked. Then I am sunk, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I walked and thought. I, Nate the Great, had seen a boat today. But where? It was not on the Atlantic Ocean. It was not on the Pacific Ocean. It was on a paper ocean. A poster with a picture of an ocean on it. Sludge and I ran to the paper ocean. The paper boat was there. I fitted my pieces of the invitation around it. Aha! They fitted!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The paper boat was the missing piece. The paper boat was blank. It did not tell me anything. Or did it? Now I knew that someone wrote an invitation to me and did not sign it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same someone tore the invitation into pieces and left one piece on my doorstep and put one piece in the tree and pasted one piece on the paper ocean. Someone did not think that I, Nate the Great, could find out who the someone was. Someone was testing me. I looked at the paper boat on the paper water. Hmm, paper and water. I had just seen paper and water. The phony clue in the sewer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, had an idea. Sludge and I ran home. I filled my sink with water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took the two pieces of the invitation and turned them over and put them in the water. Now the printing on them was wet and backwards. I, Nate the Great, looked at the printing. There was that funny E again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The printing was the same as the printing on the phony clue. I, Nate the Great, knew the case was solved. It was not yet three o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was an invitation I wanted to answer exactly on time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I ran around the block and around the block until it was three o'clock. Then we went to Finley's house. Finley was with Pip. Pip did not say anything. It is three o'clock, I said, and I, Nate the Great, am here. I have answered your invitation, Finley. Finley gulped. I, Nate the Great, say there is no such thing as a phony clue. The printing on your phony clue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told Finley that you would solve the case by three o'clock. I lose, Finley said. You are a great detective. Thank you, I said. I, Nate the Great, felt great. I was glad the case was over. Sludge and I started to run. We ran past Annie and Fang. I solved the case, I said. I knew you would, Annie said. Annie and Fang started to run beside us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all ran home for pancakes and bones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again, the domain tabs here and the ribbons change depending on what perspective is active. Here, G&G is geology and geophysics. Again, we always have the home


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, tab, and then the domain tabs that go with geology and geophysics. Now there are more out to the right, but just so they're not too small, I did not show them all right here. The goal of these


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is to get into a tab like stratigraphy and then work left to right in it to get what's needed to be done there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then move to the next tab over, work left to right on it, and so on all the way down the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the general design here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old function bar and older versions of betrayal and the menu bar, managers, now they're all treated pretty equally just as tools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And each perspective, as I've mentioned before, contains different tabs. So here, under the seismic to simulation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Geology and geophysics perspective, different tabs here, but in order to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relieve you of having to find what you want, go back and forth to different perspectives. Many of the tabs are in multiple perspectives. So for example, all the ones highlighted here in red are in both the seismic dissimulation and the geology and geophysics perspectives. The ones here in blue are in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seismic to simulation perspective and also down here in the reservoir and production perspective. And these here in pink are in geology and geophysics and reservoir and production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you check one of these tabs, no matter which perspective it's in, the tools will be the same underneath it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, many of the, the access to many of the tools is duplicated in different tabs. Here we are in the geology and geophysics perspective and now the structural modeling tab, the stratigraphy tab and the reservoir engineering tab all have this group named utilities, which have the same tools in them. These utility group is found in seven or eight of the different tabs through each of the, throughout the perspectives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are here, when you click on one, it changes the ribbon. The window contextual tab has tools in it that refer to the active graphics type that you have displayed. In this case it's a 3D window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the object contextual tab has tools for the active object in the input pane or the models pane. So here for the windows contextual tab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a 3D window. You can tell by here. If you click on that, here you can see parameters for viewing from certain angles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tracking and linking the cursor. Things you can visualize such as axes, uh, auto legends, uh, the cursor. Things of that sort are available in this window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object contextual tab tells you the active object that you have right here. Uh, looking at the object, doing things to that object can be done here from the object contextual tab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Complete chasks to recharge your battery. Now it's this one here. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess we're gonna... where is the office? Where is the office? I don't even know where the office is. For my fake... office-ing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the hell is anything? So we've got, I'm going to pretend to go there. Oh, I guess I can pretend to fix this thing too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it's fixed. Alright, where are my fake tasks? Quick pull a Dimitri. What, and kill every last one of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna lose. Cause tasks are gonna finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My feeks. Alright, well I'm done with tasks, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. Alright, well I was alone for all of that. You're sick. God damn it, Sarah. Leave me alone. I don't trust you. Uh, okay. Weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'm safe by virtue of... Okay. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I found Shara's body all the way at the bottom left, no the bottom right corner, I don't know what that area is. Which round boy? That round boy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you've been to many personal growth seminars, you know that some personal growth seminars end with making you walk on fire or making you bend and break an arrow on your throat. These are all exercises to show you how belief, how confidence, how having faith in yourself can truly matter in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And case working is a truly incredible phenomenon. What happens is that people are partnered in groups of two and that's conducted this in rooms with 500 people. Now what happens is just like in the psychometry exercise that you did on day 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One person is the guy and one person is the psychic. Now the guy typically has a list of cases with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. On the other side of the case is typically some description of Mary Clare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her health issue, her personality, what she looks like. These descriptions might say things such as injury on the left knee due to a fall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when the psychic is ready, the psychic simply says, I'm ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The orientologist of the guide then will say this at the count of three. Mary Claire, age 43, location Paris, gender female will appear on your mental screen. One, two, three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at that point, the psychic is meant to describe whatever appears on their mental screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the psychic then will go through the anatomy of Mary-Claire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Understand where there might be issues that Mary Claire might be facing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Identify and describe those issues to the best of their ability and apply healing before that session is done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The entire session may take three to five minutes. That's all. Because I'm going to teach you a shortcut. You don't have to go through the full human anatomy exploration that we did yesterday. That was simply for establishing points of reference. What you're going to do here is psychic diagnosis and psychic healing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what happens in these Silva classes is that at first people are maybe a little bit skeptical. It may challenge their belief system, but every now and then one person will get a hit and you will hear noise and then someone else gets a hit and then someone else gets a hit. And by the end of the two to three hour session, people are just in awe at the hits they are getting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Silva teaches you that every time you get a hit from a case like this, you want to celebrate it, express gratitude before you go to your next case. If you have a miss, ignore it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you have a hit, celebrate it. So the guides are cheering the psychic on. When the psychic has a hit, the guide is, yes, that's fantastic. Keep going. Now what is curious is that there's a phenomenon called the Magic 50. What's Silva found?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that as you do more cases and you celebrate your hits, your psychic ability on your hit rate get better and better. But for the majority of people, when they hit 50 cases, something unique happens. They develop waking psychic ability. They develop an intuitive impulse, even in the waking state. It's no longer about having to go to alpha and do a three to one countdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I shared in my story, walking the street in Egypt, you get an impulse to turn around. And that happens when you hit the magic 50. So what you want to do is, now that you're coming to the end of this program, do whatever you can to hit the magic 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a partner, you're going to practice case working with them and I'm going to teach you the methodology. If you don't have a partner, we have established a website built and run by Silva graduates where Silva graduates around the world share cases with each other so you can practice. I'll give you the address of that website at the end of this video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's how you want to practice. You can use the website or you can ask a friend or a neighbour to prepare for you three cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each case should simply say on one side the name, age, gender, and location of the subject that requires healing. On the other side, it should describe them, their personality, anything that gives the psychic information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if you have a guide who's willing to be there with you in person, the guide can simply stay with you as you're going into your level and read you the cases. The guide would start with the first case, name, age, gender, location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you go through and describe what you're seeing, the guide may prompt you not too much, you don't want to give anything away, but the guide may cheer you on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make you feel bad, but simply say, I'm sorry, I don't have information on that. Please continue. And then when you're done with the first case, you go onto the second, and you go onto the third. The entire process may take 15 minutes. After you're done, reflect on what were your hits. Forget about the misses. Reflect on what were your hits, and the next day, do it again with different cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember there's a website to help you retrieve cases. Now you're going to start this exercise today. If you can find a partner who can prepare cases for you, wonderful. If not, like I said, I'm going to provide you a website where you can pull out cases for you to work on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, a couple of rules. Jose Silva established seven rules for doing this. It's important you understand these rules. Let's start with the first. We do not diagnose. Only medical people have license to diagnose and heal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We conduct psychic investigation for detection and correction of abnormalities at a psychic level at a distance. So you are not diagnosing in the sense of telling someone what might be wrong with them. The second rule is this. We do not perform psychic investigation of a person when that person is present. Never do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason is because if you get a miss, that person may believe you. Remember the story of how believing in something can influence your health. The story of Bruno Klopfer, the doctor, and Cre Biosyn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strong emotional tie to. For example, an ex that you're still emotionally attached to. Number five, we do not create problems. We solve problems. As you're doing this, your job is obviously to heal. Number six, avoid talking about negative things when a person is at a deep level. If you're a guy and your psychic is going deep to attempt healing, don't suddenly bring up politics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And number seven, work on human life before working on animal life, plant life, and inanimate matter. Never neglect human life. It is recommended that you work on your family every night just before going to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this means is every night before going to bed, Silva recommends that you pick your family or a family member and you spend just three to five minutes ensuring that they are in radiant health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're doing a case on someone, and you suddenly notice that that person, maybe even a family member, has a dark spot or a symbolism that might indicate a disease, don't assume that that means that they are sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might want to encourage them in some cases to maybe make sure they get a good medical checkup and that they are taking care of their health. But never go up to someone and say, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see the difference? You never want to make someone feel like they are sick. But if you seem to detect inflammation that you think might be accurate, you may want to suggest that someone goes in, has a medical checkup, or takes up a healthy habit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a friend who's willing to do this with you, fantastic. If you don't, here is the website I want you to visit. There are several websites created by graduates of the program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you're done, click the button to show you the results. Engage how accurate you are. And of course, don't forget, after doing every individual, don't forget to send them healing energy. So that is your assignment today. Now let me give you a tip on how this is going to work in your head. You're going to start by doing your 3 to 1 countdown. After you're done, deepen by counting from 10 to 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, here you're doing the rapid 3 to 1 countdown, not the centering exercise, which could take as long as 20 minutes. You're simply gonna go 3 3 3 2 2 2 1 1 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to deepen by counting from 10 to 1. When you're at a nice, comfortable, deep level of mind, you're going to tell your partner that you're ready and they're going to read out the first case. Proceed to describe what you see. Then you can come out of your level and you can dialogue with your partner or you can stay there and go straight to the second case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time you hear what is a hit, celebrate that. It's okay for your partner to tell you while you're doing a case that you've made a hit because that will build up your belief and your expectancy in yourself and you will likely get a second or more hit. Now the question we often get is when your partner reads out the name, age, gender and location, how do you begin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's a fast way to do it. As soon as your partner snaps their fingers and say this person is now on your mental screen, see the person on your mental screen and describe whatever you see. If the person looks unusually long or unusually short, it doesn't matter. Describe exactly what you see. Your first impressions, the ones that feel like guessing, are usually the correct one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you're gonna imagine that you can scan this person's body from top to bottom, bottom to up, like a radar. Imagine a radar, like in those old submarine movies you've seen, scanning from top to bottom, bottom to up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every time the radar sweeps the person, you might notice a dot where they need healing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead and try that now with your partner or use the website that I've given you. Tomorrow, we'll go deeper in this and we will add more nuance to this approach. Enjoy yourselves and celebrate your hits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The settings are different depending on what type of object you click on. So surfaces are different from line files. Line files are different from 3D grids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different types of tabs and the tabs again are different depending on what you click on. The info tab always has information about what you clicked on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the stall tabs have sections like contour lines here, annotation that you can see down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They also often have a show box. If you want them turned on, you have to click the box in front of show, hit the apply button and then they will show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For surfaces there are subtabs for the lines, for the solid which is the color filled background, and also you can see the grid lines where they go if you come over here to the grid lines area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other types of data in the input pane, the models pane, the templates pane, the windows pane have different tabs and different information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to change something about the object, for example its identification, you can go to the info tab


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate the Great and the Hungry Book Club Chapter 1 Torn, Ripped, Ruined


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Nate the Great. I am a detective. My dog Sludge is a detective too. Ouch!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now I am a mumbling, bumbling, tripping detective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have just tripped over a big pile of books that Rosamond left in my house. Sludge is sniffing them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has been sniffing them since Rosamond knocked on my door this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was carrying a bunch of books. Three more were piled on her head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosamond looked very strange. Rosamond looked strange all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have great news, she said. I have started a book club. I'm calling it Rosamond's Ready Readers. But there is trouble in the club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the members is trying to wreck my cookbook. Look!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosamond took a book off her head. The other two books fell off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you carrying books on top of your head? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm president of a club now. These books help me hold my head high and look like a president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, knew that I was looking at a very strange president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my new cookbook, she said. Yesterday, I left it open on my kitchen table after I made treats for the club meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the meeting was over, I went to get the treats for the members. The page that was open was torn, ripped, ruined!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I looked at the page. I, Nate the Great, say that it was torn, ripped, ruined. Chapter two, the crime scene. Rosamond pulled something out of her pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is a photo of the crime scene, she said. I looked at the photo. Your kitchen was a crime scene? Of course. Keep this photo and study it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see that my cookbook is in the middle of my huge high table. The torn page had a recipe for tuna fish pie. The bits of pie that fell on the page are gone too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to find the evil monster who did this. Monster? Yes, the evil hedge monster, Rosamond said. Now, here is my plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next meeting will be at my house this afternoon. You and Sludge can come undercover. Just pretend you are new members. I'll be using this cookbook again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, I'll leave these other books here, where they'll be safe. I left one book at home. The members will be reading it at today's meeting. Rosamond piled her books on my floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are so lucky to have this case. I, Nate the Great, did not agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps this is a case for a bookworm, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoy being a bookworm, Rosamond said. I looked at sludge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dear Mother, Sludge and I are going to Rosamond's house. I am on what Rosamond thinks is a case. A book case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are looking for an evil monster who tears, rips, and ruins. I will be back, I hope. Love, Nate the Great. Chapter 4, The Hungry Book Club. It was afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I went to Rosamond's house. She answered the door. She had only one book on her head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I peered inside her house. I saw Oliver. Hip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finley, Claude, Esmeralda, Annie, and Annie's little brother, Harry, sitting in a circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also sitting in the circle were Annie's dog, Fang, and Rosamond's four cat. Plane Hex, Little Hex, Big Hex, and Super Hex. I stepped back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hexes and fang belong to your book club? Sure, Rosamond said. Everybody loves stories and treats. I serve tuna fish pie to the cats and meat patties to fang. Everybody else gets cookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Very Hungry Book Club. Come in!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, am not in the mood for cookies or circles, I said. Sludge and I will sit in a corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 5 Meet Harvard Hedgehog Rosamond sat down in a big chair. She took the book off her head. She held it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is our book for today, she announced. Harvard Hedgehog. We will take turns reading it out loud. Then we will talk about the book. I will start. Harvard Hedgehog was always late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He arrived at parties just in time to bump into everyone leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He nibbled leftover cake crumbs and lapped melted ice cream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, he sat in a corner and exclaimed, Wonderful party, to the empty room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, was sitting in a corner like Harvard Hedgehog. I pretended to go to sleep, but I was watching, watching. The book went from member to member. Nobody was tearing pages. It was Esmeralda's turn to read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Harvard went to the movies, he always got there when the movie was over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As everyone was going out, Harvard was going in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would sit down on stale popcorn and look up at the big empty screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great show! He exclaimed to no one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A ripped page in one book, and now a missing page from another? When I bought this book, there were no pages missing. I know, because I read the entire book before I bought it. I, Nate the Great, looked at sludge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As president of Rosamahan's Ready Readers, I will not let this stop our book club meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Numbers, who would like to tell me what you think of the book so far? Esmeralda raised her hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, I thought that Harvard needed a watch, but now I know he needs a page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Claude raised his hand. Claude was always losing things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like the book, because Harvard doesn't lose anything, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you never lose anything, you never have a chance to find what you didn't lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I follow people. Everyone knows I do. Harvard doesn't follow anybody. Harvard is a very boring hedgehog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for sharing that with us, Rosamond said. Me! Me! Me! Harry was jumping up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we have a nice, happy Harvard, and a happy Harry, she said. I am proud of all my members, except whoever ripped a page and took a page. I, Nate the Great, was thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who would rip a page of the cookbook and take a page of Harvard Hedgehog?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone who liked the books? Or someone who disliked the books? Or someone who couldn't decide? And where was the missing page? I would like to see the book, I said. Rosamond handed it to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see that the missing page would have been numbered 15 on one side and 16 on the other, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Numbers, crumbers, Rosamond said. You have a double mystery, just solve it. Chapter 7, The Evil Page Monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosamond stood up. Now it's time for treats, she said. The animals are getting restless. Sludge and I followed Rosamond to the kitchen. It was a mess. But Sludge sniffed and sniffed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He liked this case because it smelled good. I saw a cookbook on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time, the book was opened to a recipe for meat patties. There were bits of meat on the page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fang sniffed the table. He started to jump up and reach for the cookbook. Stop! Rosamond yelled. You, Fang, are the evil page monster!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, President Rosamond, have solved this case. Thang must have sneaked in during yesterday's meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've eaten the bits of food and ripped the page. And now I've stopped him from doing it again. Rosamond folded her arms and looked at me. Time to find the missing page, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, had two choices. I could search for the missing page, or I could go home and eat pancakes and think. Chapter 8. Sniffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ate my pancakes while Sludge ate a bone. Then Sludge walked around the room. He was looking for something. And he found it. It was the photo Rosamond had left here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sniffed it and sniffed it and sniffed it. Was he trying to tell me something? Was the ripped page case really solved? Did Fang really do it? I looked at the photo again. The page in the cookbook had no food on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The page I had seen at Rosamond's house had tiny bits of meat on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The recipe in the photo was for tuna fish pie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The recipe at her house was for meat patties. One recipe for cats, one recipe for dogs. Good work, sludge, I said. Chapter nine. Not so fast. I called Rosamond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am coming back to your house, I said. And I need Annie and Fang to be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put the photo of the tuna fish pie page in my pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge and I rushed to Rosamond's house. Rosamond was waiting for us at the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosamond, Annie, Fang, Sludge and I went into the kitchen. The cookbook was still open on the table. Fang sniffed and ran to the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ho hum, Rosamond said. We already know that Fang ripped a page yesterday. Wait, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fang jumped up and put his front paws on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He opened his jaws. He stretched. But he couldn't reach the cookbook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This table is too high and big for fang, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor Fang, Annie said. He's big and smart, but he isn't that stretchy. I, Nate the Great, already knew that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fang would have grabbed the bits of meat during the meeting if he could have reached them. Rosamond sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so Fang couldn't have ripped the page yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correct, I said. Also, he doesn't like tuna fish pie. I pulled the cookbook photo out of my pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This photo shows the cookbook, open to the tuna fish pie recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, say that someone reached for those tuna fish bits and was scratching and tearing to get every last bit. Eww, Rosamond asked. Little hex, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can leap high. Also he can hide in small spaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is so small that he could have gone into the kitchen and come back without your seeing him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rosamond clapped her hands. Little hex is growing up, my darling little page monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, say that the ripped page case is solved, and you should try to keep your kitchen neater. Clean clues are better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took two bones from my pocket and gave one to Thang and one to Sludge. Rosamond kept clapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little Hex must have taken the Harvard hedgehog page too. What a talent he has. Not so fast, I said. You are trying to reuse a clue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little Hex might not have taken the page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me everything about your Harvard Hedgehog book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yesterday, Annie and I went to the book sale at the school around the corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bought the book there. I read it before I bought it. There weren't any missing pages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After I bought the book, I kept it with me. In my hands, on my head, I even slept with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there anything else I should know? I asked. No. I'm the president. I think of everything. Then I must leave, I said. Leave? But you just came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it is in the detective business, I said. We come, we go. We go where the clues take us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, knew that I needed more clues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the book was with Rosamond all the time, how could a page be missing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Annie, Fang, Sludge and I left Rosamond's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am looking for a new clue, I said to Annie. A missing page clue. I don't have any clue, Annie said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I want you to know that Fang can be stretchy some of the time. You should have seen him at the school book sale. What? I said. He was there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I brought him along when I went with Rosamond, Annie said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me exactly how Fang was stretchy there, I said. Well, we went to the used books table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lady there told us that some books might have food stains, loose bindings and faded pages. Rosamond began picking through books and reading them. If she liked a book, she put it in a pile on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, Fang put his paws on the table and started to sniff a book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were stains on it that looked like chicken noodle soup. Fang licked the book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he pawed through more books and licked pages. Lots of books fell to the floor. Thang was really stretchy. It was his kind of table. Then what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I picked up the books that Fang had licked, and I bought them. Rosamond's pile had toppled over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she scooped up her books from the table and the floor and bought them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We both went home with full bags. Since Fang had licked and liked the books, I put them all in his doghouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for the information, I said. I turned to Sludge. You and I are going to school. Chapter 11 School Clues Sludge and I rushed to the school. The book sale was in the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lady walked up to us. I knew she was a librarian because she had a badge on her shirt that said, librarian. Sometimes, being a detective is easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, I said. I am looking for Harvard Hedgehog. You're in luck, the librarian said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've sold two copies of Harvard, but we still have one left. And here he is, on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have pages 15 and 16, I asked?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, the pages are in good shape, clean, with strong binding. No chicken noodle soup, I said. What? I was just thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a detective. I think a lot. I think I will buy this book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a picture of Harvard getting his photo taken in front of a big clock. He looked proud. And he was smiling. But why would anyone take that page?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, say that there must be far better things in this world to watch than a hedgehog posing for his photo. And then, I remembered something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I had just seen in the book was not news to me. I had already heard about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, Nate the Great, was about to solve this case. Chapter 13. Reading Together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had two clues. School clues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was told that the pages in my book were in good shape. Clean, strong binding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Annie was told that some books had loose bindings. Hmm, pages, bindings. I, Nate the Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say that a loose binding could cause a loose page and a loose page could become a missing page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There had been three copies of the Harvard Hedgehog book at the used books table. Rosamond had picked a good copy, but when her pile fell down,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She must have grabbed the copy that had the missing page. She didn't know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Annie must have bought the good copy that Rosamond had picked out. And she didn't know it. And how did I, Nate the Great, know it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I now remembered where I had heard about Harvard Hedgehog smiling in front of a big clock. From Harry, at the book club meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how could Harry have known what was on page 15 since it was missing? Because he had seen the book at home. Harry must have been looking at Fang's books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he saw the Harvard hedgehog picture. I turned to sludge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must give this book to Rosamond and tell her that the case is solved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must also tell Annie to feed Fang plenty of chicken noodle soup. But there is something else I want to do first. I, Nate the Great,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pick up every book that Rosamond had brought over and carefully put them on a shelf. Just where they should be, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, I took my Harvard hedgehog book and sat down in my chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am going to read this book as a reader and not as a detective, I said. Let's read it together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sludge jumped up on my lap, and I, Nate the Great, read and read until I reached the end.

[Assistant] In this English lesson, we're going to show you some sentence patterns that you can use in everyday life. Let's get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to me, that's when the show begins. It's not even necessarily when the curtain comes up or when the pre-show video goes. It's once we do our chant and do our big woo! That's when the show starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is probably one of the big topics when you are learning English. There are so many people in the world that love watching sports and that love playing sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is a relatively familiar topic for most people. I know we just recently watched the Olympics. I know there are several sporting matches every evening in every country in all different types of sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I thought it would be a good idea to do a lesson about sports. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Whether you are someone who watches a lot of sports, maybe you're someone who plays a lot of sports, or maybe you're just someone who's curious and wants to learn some words and phrases in English to be able to talk about sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the first picture is also from Eugene and it's the phrase sports fan or the term sports fan. When you are someone who likes watching a certain sport, we say that you are a sports fan and then we use the word fan in other ways as well. We'll say things like, are you a fan of football?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which basically means, do you watch football? Are you a fan of ice skating, which is an Olympic winter sport? And you might say, oh yeah, I'm a big fan. So a sports fan is someone who likes to watch a sport. You can see in Eugene's picture here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stands are filled with sports fans. People have all worn red because the Toronto FC, uhm, their, uh, one uniform is red. So that is their team colour. So they have worn red. All of the fans are there wearing red to support their team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we have something called a superfan. A superfan is someone


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is really really into a sport in English when you say someone is into something, it means they really really like it. A super fan is more likely to dress up on game day. They're more likely to do crazy things. They might paint


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in university, sometimes super fans will, uh, some guys will, uhm, paint letters on their chest or other weird things, uh, when they go to a game. But a super fan is someone who really, really loves the sport that they watch. Of course, fans will cheer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that you do when you watch a game, whether you're at home or in the stadium, is that you will probably cheer when your team does well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will say things like yay, you will say things like go, go, go when the player on your team is about to score. And then you might just sell, yell yeaah or something like that when they do score. But you will definitely cheer when your team scores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have to, uh, mention this. This is a lesson from, uh, about two and a half years ago. But I have redone the lesson. I've added a whole bunch of new words. I removed a couple of words. So if some parts of this lesson seem familiar to a few of you, not all of you were here two and a half years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that is why. So, a person who plays a sport though is called a player. Someone who watches a sport is called a fan or a spectator. We'll talk about that later. Someone who plays a sport is called a player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have what are called professional athletes. Professional athletes are people who are so good at playing the game that they get paid to play it. Their job is to play a sport. When I was younger, there was a brief moment where I thought, oh, it would be so cool to be a professional hockey player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a professional athlete who plays hockey. Uhm, but I don't think I was good enough. I never really pursued that dream. But could you imagine what it would be like to be paid to play the sport that you love playing? That must be a really cool experience. It must be a lot of fun to be a professional athlete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have amateur athletes. I'm sure many of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Canada, it's quite common for people to play volleyball one night a week. People play hockey. We call it the rec league, recreational league. Uh, people play soccer or football as you might call it in your country in the summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a lot of amateur athletes in Canada, and I'm sure in your country as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play a sport just for exercise and for enjoyment. And they don't get paid. They don't get paid anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you play a team sport, you are on a team. Uhm, there's a difference between individual sports like running, uh, and those kinds of things and team sports like football or hockey or basketball or volleyball where you have teammates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a team is a group of people who all wear the same uniform usually and they play the same sport together. And this can be amateur or professional. Uhm, you can be on a team as a professional athlete and as an amateur athlete you can be on a team as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then again, I mentioned the word teammates. Teammates are the other people who are on your team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the Phoenix Mercury. It is one of the teams in the WNBA, the Women's National Basketball Association. And the, uh, the woman in the middle, the player in the middle is Kea Nurse. She's one of my favorite players on that team. She's Canadian. I really, really like her. But a starting lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever a professional or amateur team plays against another team,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The players who start the game are usually your best players and that group of players is called the starting lineup. So when there is a basketball game, there are five players on the starting lineup. They start the game. When you go to watch a football game or soccer game, there are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 11 players, I think, who are on the starting lineup. Those are the players who, usually they're the best players, uhm, most of them are usually the best players on the team, and they make up the starting lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes depending on the sport, the team will have a captain. In hockey, the captain of the team


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is not the coach. The captain is a player who kind of leads the team in terms of keeping them happy and kind of demonstrating good behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In hockey, the captain usually has the letter C on their jersey. You can see on his hockey jersey he has the letter C. This means that he is the captain of the team. So the captain, again, doesn't show the players how to play, but the captain kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leads in a way where they kind of show, they, they're like a model player. Usually, they're a veteran player or a really good player and they kind of lead the team in that sense. They, they give uhm, direction on how to be excited, how to act in a positive way, uh, in those kinds of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we have of course a coach. A coach is a person who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decides how to train the team. The coach decides who will play and who will sit on the bench. The coach decides what strategies a team is going to use in order to try and win. The coach basically prepares the team

[Assistant] Before the game and then makes decisions during the game so the team can do the best that they can. Again, a coach does not play.

[Assistant] A coach usually wears a suit and tie and a lot of sports a coach will dress very, very nicely.

[Assistant] Uhm, and they will be on the sidelines or on the bench or, uhm, off to the side of the field and they will give advice to the players and make decisions about how to best try and win the game.

[Assistant] We of course, depending on the sport, you will have referees or umpires. There's a bunch of different names for the people who make sure all the players follow the rules of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every sport that you play has rules, and it's important that everyone follows the rules, but humans are humans, and sometimes we break rules either intentionally, like we decide to break the rule, or by accident, you just accidentally step off the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you accidentally trip someone. And then the referee or umpire will probably blow a whistle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I have a whistle up here. We'll look at that in a sec. Uh, and they will stop the game and then they will either penalize one of the teams. There might be a foul or a card or something like that, but a referee or umpire


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we shorten the words. The words aren't that long, but so you will, you might hear people in the stands say, ah, come on ref, that was a bad call. Or you might hear, uh, at a baseball game, you might say, ah, come on, ump, that was a strike.

[Assistant] So you might hear people use the short forms of those two words. Referee becomes ref. Umpire becomes up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So depending on the sport and what country you live in, there are definitely times when you play a game, but there's also times where you practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Canada, we usually refer to when a team gets together on a non-game day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be, to work at becoming better at the sport, we call it a practice, or we call it training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so often times a team will have a few games each week, but they will also have times where they go to practice, or where they have, or where they have training. Where they just get together with the other players and coaches, and they improve their skills. So they might practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] dribbling if it's basketball, they might practice shooting if it's basketball, shooting the ball if it's football, uhm, or hockey, they might practice skating drills, they might do a whole bunch of things so that they become better at the sport.
