All right, ladies and gentlemen, if you would please take your seats will begin our program. Welcome. Good afternoon to everyone who is just joining us faculty. We have a great program this afternoon. I wanted to draw your attention to the slide here with the panels. Just one moment. We have two successive panels we have one in Pringle and one in Spruance and for the remainder of the of the afternoon and tomorrow's program will also have two panels as well. So our afternoon panel is faculty development with our moderator Dr. Heidi Lane. And Dr. Heidi Lane is a professor of strategy and policy and the director of the Greater Middle East Research Study Group at the Naval War College. She is co editor of building rule of law and the Arab world and beyond, and is completing a book titled the counter terrorist state about counter terrorism policies and practices in the Middle East. Welcome Dr. Lane the floor is yours. Thank you. Before, first of all, thank you for coming. And welcome to the afternoon sessions. The first thing that I want to say is just a couple points of order, because I was actually not going to read your bios even though you kindly introduced me, because we want to make sure we have maximum amount of time for questions and answers. So in in so doing, we're going to the first person that's going to be presenting is Dr. Mary realm. After she speaks for about 25 minutes, we're going to take a moment and have Q amp a for about 10 to 15 then, and then we're going to proceed with professors Stokes and Curtis. Sorry, not Curtis bell, Professor bell. So we'll have two separate sections. I also want to emphasize for anybody who either wasn't here earlier, or who is rejoining that this is an open session that means it's unrestricted access to those who are watching from the inside. So I don't want to discourage you from introducing yourself with your with your name and affiliation but just so you know that is going out on the airwaves and can't be edited out of final version. And the last thing I'll do is remind everyone to use the microphone when you do ask the question and answer. Professor round begins for presentation, I want to say two things. One of them is that if you went to the morning sessions and you heard the provost speak and the Admiral this morning. There are so many things that are hopeful missions in the future that pertain to women peace and security and also by by extension to DEI. So for most of them are very, very difficult to implement. And the three panelists that you're going to hear this afternoon are people who are in the process of doing the hard work of implementing this stuff, and then reporting back on it. But really the rubber meets the road in my opinion, because there is really, there is almost no institution that likes to have change imposed or presented in a way that forces everyone to comply. And so, all of the human elements all of the procedural issues all of the bureaucratic mechanisms that need to be changed happen through the people that are presenting here. So I'm going to commend that work because it's very hard, and it's very often not appreciated in the way that it should be. So with that, let me turn it over to Professor realm. And you have the floor. Thank you. Right. Thank you. Thanks Dr Lane. So good afternoon. I see we have some distinguished guests in the audience admirals. Students and faculty. And thank you, Heidi for the opportunity and Dr amine for the opportunity to present some ideas on educational strategies for security studies on sexual assault and sexual harassment. I'm Mary Rahm a professor in the National Security Affairs Department here at the Naval War College. Before getting started. There's a disclaimer. All these ideas are mine alone and do not represent the Department of the sense or any other allied entities in DOD. So I need to put you in touch with where I'm speaking from today. It's right here in the public policy analysis program within the National Security Affairs Department. So it's very limited, but some of the ideas are also broad enough. I think that other folks may be able to use them. So how come this topic is important and relevant in today's national security studies program, because within this umbrella or assessments of ethical, legal and political implications of national security decision making. And in order to maintain program viability the application theories and techniques learned by the security sector professional must include current issues in the field. To this end the inclusion of material about sexual assault and sexual harassment becomes an imperative due to its applicability to the security sector culture. The role Congress plays in oversight of the military and the military's policy role as a steward of its people. What is the current situation that has led to a congressional intervention regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment. First is a military struggle to rectify the situation by process a ties in their efforts. These labors include laying out new institutional entities developing required training programs and policies and their creation of outputs based metrics. The role on the military side of DoD is proclaiming a zero tolerance policy, opening up call lines creating the primarily rules based sharp sexual assault response prevention program, establishing the sexual assault prevention and response office or Sappro for the oversight of policy and standards. So these are the current strategies and their ability to establish red lines, such programs get at the how to control and contain but do not address the why of what is a festering cultural problem. Legendary management guru Peter Drucker, after observing thousands of organizations in his lifetime, once stated that culture, no matter how defined is the singularly persistent influence in all organizations. This thought has been modified over the years to become culture each strategy for lunch. And it is in this essence, there's what is occurring relative to the military's addressing of these problems today. An effort was made to enculturate the idea that sexual harassment assault are not tolerable, but the sense of this 2012 2015 ad campaign across the services completely missed a mark for its bias toward the female role as victim and the male in charge of the female state. Added to this was that sexual assault and rape occur because of alcoholic consumption, and in general within the sphere of party or bar. The campaign brings to mind the late 1950s and early 1960s glamorized smoky world of advertising in the mad men TV drama series. Because the campaign met with resistance, it was pulled to be replaced by two video game training scenarios, the first showing service members watching a colleague getting too forward with a woman at a bar. The male voice over exclaims man that's all we need is to get put on lockdown again before getting up to intervene. In another scenario is a bar scene with loud music cold beer and what are described as hot girls with a narrator commentary of players of the video must choose certain behaviors. If the viewer fails to gain a female in the military gets raped in a barracks reports the assault and leaves the service. My forward exclamation what nonsense is this. So let's move on to the real world. In general, the oversight of the situation has been ongoing for nearly two decades, without gaining enough support to shift the thinking of how the military should be managing this egregious cultural phenomenon. In general, an organizational culture shift, which is required here nearly never occurs, unless there is a situation so intolerable that it wakes up and activates in today's vernacular. I am responsible. The flash point for congressional movement into bipartisan efforts to alleviate and not continue to placate the current this is cycle of internal legal and command processes and training came to a head with a brutally a PSC Vanessa again in April of 2020 on Fort Hood, and I put this video in here to remind you there's a really good Netflix series that actually goes through this entire process. It's a, it's a very good, very good series. Our data showed that one in 24 female service members and one in 100 male service members or 1% can expect to experience sexual trauma or assault at some point in their career. And in total that comes to an estimated 20,000 people each year in fiscal year 2021 these numbers were updated to 16% of male service members reporting sexual assault and 33% of female service members. In the US Navy 2021 reports cited 12% of male sailors reporting sexual assault and 28% of female sailors reporting the difficulties with changing a large bureaucratic culture are that the cycle of change invariably takes about to two generations. For a legislative centering of the military to put on the books and activated as well as shifts in the formalities of the organization organization, such as reporting mechanisms and command responsibilities and changes in overall demographics has already been formally pursued for almost 15 years. In this case, demographics specifically has been notable in driving change because over the past two decades, Congress has shifted in its demeanor relative to female representatives, which now hold 144 of 539 seats. This is from a monkey congressional women, such as Kirsten Gillibrand Democrat of New York, that the fight for the military justice improvement and increasing prevention act emerged Jackie spear Democrat California, along with Republican Michael Turner of Ohio, introduced a mass again act to remove sexual assault prosecution decisions from the chain of command. One of the complications with changing the culture of a massive military system or any other large bureaucratic system for that matter is that the change rarely comes from within its ranks. Now outside dynamic is nearly always required because of the generational belief quagmires of both Congress and the military which can impede change. Also complicating the rate of change is the time factor inherent to congressional processes. Senator Gillibrand has been working on lettuce legislation since the early 2000s. And while the military justice reform act is on the books, there is still work to be achieved regarding who legally represents victims during a court's Marshall, the role the command chain will play when a victim comes forward, and whether additional crime should be added to the list. So how do you teach one of the most significant military and security sector workplace reforms in American history, where she unit where units regarding the themes subject matter and issues inherent to sexual harassment and assault reside. As here at the war college the NSA department teaches graduate level security studies and emphasizes policy analysis as one of its two core realms, and the high degree to which themes of congressional oversight civilian military relationships and the roles of the White House, Secretary of Defense and the Department of Defense Joint Chiefs, having had direct ties to the issue studies fit very well with into into this programmatic system. But before embarking on the curriculum creation adventure a few do's and don'ts should be understood. There needs to be an alleviation of any misnomer or innuendo which categorizes males as key to the situation. Sexual assault and harassment are inclusive of the entire military culture care should be given as to where a case or discussion is placed and what should be the title. The use of only quantitative learning materials due to comfort with discussion behind numbers does not get at the importance of the elements of the cultural and socio emotional aspects of the problems associated with sexual harassment and assault. It's important to not attempt to treat the topic as a fad and jam it into existing studies to get it out there. This weakens its importance and the jamming approach is disingenuous and does not attach long term value to the topics inclusion and professional students know when they're being hustled rather than being taught. I will now address a few of these items in greater detail by using the current study module somewhat of the current study module and the FPA curriculum here. The first thing key is to professionalize the topic. So what might be required for for doing this in a curriculum time should be used to contemplate the differences between a sapper approach to the subject and a public policy approach to the subject. To finalize there are important building blocks that are necessary for creating a lasting curriculum and be creative with your curriculum tools. This is the 21st century videos testimony and film or a must have, especially in light of the currency and unfolding nature of the legislative situation surrounding sexual harassment and assault students very often want to gravitate toward tactical level sapper storytelling time. Students aid in understanding the military culture. However, faculty are not counselors, nor do they have direct knowledge of the events of the situations being described from the field. I would like to delve a bit deeper into curriculum materials placement of subject matter and pedagogy pedagogy next. The faculty need to know in order to teach a unit that highlights the legislation of sexual assault and harassment. The presentation in a policy realm should again not be a separate discussion that's first faculty are not experts in the field, nor should they be required to be and faculty are not advocates or interventionist. There are specific training modules and training personnel that address sapper definitions guidelines rules and regulations. These are some of the key building blocks for a policy level discussion. There right there you see the Congress and the military dyad. And then I'm going to go over some of these course buy in for a successful program roof fire support from the top down. As always check the current educational requirements being handed down from the Seattle's office, or other educational hierarchies at the institutional level as guides for insertion of equal resources feedback from the civilian and military professional student body. Once a curriculum rolls out. Since these are the individuals who are working in the realities of this cultural concern. Collaboration with knowledgeable personnel who have written and studied on this subject matter from outside the organization should be considered before putting a curriculum play in motion. The faculty become the integrator of the subject and discussion, rather than act as an advocate in an area with which they likely may not have an existential level of knowledge. Sexual harassment assault or culturally emotionally and physically based concerns content should hit three and not to amphitheaters. These are called a cultural congressional military triad. There is such a thing as cultural policy, and these policies may be a three types rule shifting culture shifting or a combination of both. In this instance a combination of rule shifting is found in the form of where the power and oversight of adjudicating sexual harassment and sexual assault cases will reside inside or outside the military chain of command. There's also cultural shifting, which is encountering new ways of doing things that challenge the basic belief structures currently embedded in the military. No policy discussion on sexual harassment assault should be without some form of information that addresses both the rule of law and culture. So this is a summary slide can go back and look at these later if you want to that's why I put those in there. And what I'd like to go into next or what are some of the questions that should be asked in a curriculum. So my experiences in the world of education have made me come to believe pedagogy. My methods of teaching are grounded in the question set proposed in syllabus so I think they're pretty important. And here are making sure this is the right slide. Here are some of the best questions out of the current syllabus which cover the Congress culture military triad and wrapped within these are the cultural aspect of shaping to why queries and what query, which primarily proves the role of Congress and change. So what could be made what could make some of this a little better. You know what's missing. Here are some potential questions that would expand discussion pastors beyond legislative function and process included our congressional mandates for intervention, asking about challenges between specific committees and identifying key legislators who are behind the new ideas, both those that support and those that do not support the situation. There are a number of specific policies directly applicable to sexual harassment and assault should also be included. And there are many of them, 10 of importance have rolled out between 2004 and 2019, and includes sec def directives panel reviews general task forces, defense advisory committees and investigative task forces. And also guide classroom pedagogy, and do the readings address the military cultural Congress triad and a meaningful way. These are, these are my personal opinions, they are not naval or college opinions these are my personal opinions as an instructor many years. The red just gets to bog down and functionality at the price of stepping away from the specific and unique nature of Senator Gillibrand's bipartisan legislation curriculum up to this point as addressed how Congress works. And also the Oxford handbook piece is redundant in many ways, with the exception of the excellent presentation of internal and external factors, which influence congressional action. The chapter from managing sex in the US military. I read the entire volume for a book review for the army war college is primarily only useful for its short for raise into some of the historical flash points over time. It also introduces us Navy tail hook scandal, which brings up another point there should be specific tides made to the US Navy. Within the illustrations and policies somewhere in the reading so that's a positive for that. So secondly, the chapter itself leans toward the supper jargon which I have kind of affinity against rather than policy jargon. And then there are some, of course, excellent readings. That mess well into this triad. And the correspondence records of the viewpoints of top military professionals are vital reading disease letters while politically drive, give a nod to the bleach structures of the upper echelons of the US military on sexual harassment and salt. And then somewhere in the middle is a reader. It's an excellent resource to have these with a curriculum so that students can adventure into, you know, further adventure into the subject matter when they have an interest and I found there's a very high interest in this subject. The question here is, you know, we have to look at are the, are the materials outdated, or the, or did the items chosen 10, almost always toward the functional and where are the cultural aspects of the issue should be considered. And I think is really imperative in in in creating curriculum is to know something about the. This isn't the only time in history that Congress has intervened to socially shift military culture. And I think it's important to know a few of these, and I put up this pictorial montage to hit a highlight a few of these to know that these also exist they're really good basis for discussion in the classroom. You know, to note that why Congress is intervening, they've done it before why do they, why are they doing it again. Okay. So there are many historical instances. And let me talk about a few of these. There are they come from the federal executive suite from key personal advisors to the president from Congress and from inside those at the top of the hierarchy. Which we call palace politics and there are a couple of individuals in the palace politics realm. Through history that have really changed culture the military. And then there's also some from the very top of the system out of the joint chiefs of staff. So beginning in 1776 the continental Congress led is legislative pensions disability medical and domicile for revolutionary war soldiers, forever changing their livability status. There's an enactment of President Abraham Lincoln's general pension law system insured, which, which insured past pensions were available for veterans into the end of the 20th century. And also a changing livability status issue. In the 1940s, Eleanor Roosevelt which I consider in the palace politics realm, considered the eyes and ears for the president served as a personal advocate and catalyst for ensuring women could serve in the military total cultural shift. This change forever the roles women were able to play and service in their country. President Truman required the leaders of the army to give permanent status to their female personnel through executive order 9981, which desegregated the military from internal to the military that's another really fascinating realm to know a little bit about when you're talking about this cultural change in the military is Admiral Elmo Zulmult Jr. Z grams 1164868 and 114 to improve the lives of sailors and these naval messages were sent directly to the fleet. He established a task force to review laws and policies and regulations that were inequitable and borrowed minorities from opportunities of promotion and retention. He looked at evolution of people programs and equal opportunity. So I have five minutes left so I'm going to zip through this. These are imperative videos to have. You absolutely need to have Senator Martha McSally he was preyed upon and right by a Syria superior officer. It's from inside the Congress and it links to the military itself. The other one that I think is really imperative today is to have. At least one. I don't want that to play one short video on Senator Gillibrand's discussions about about these roles. There's a third person. And this is my last comment. There's a third person that a lot of people don't know about but his tie is really connected to the concern issues now to Colonel Don Christensen he's USAF retired opened up a nonprofit and he was a council and military judge for sexual harassment assault for 23 years. He's become so concerned by the chronic problems with this that he's opened up a nonprofit and he deals with Congress so we got the military Congress. My final sentence. So history is shown that takes military leaders, military leaders, civilian government actors and the public at large to instigate cultural change in the military. So it's all belong in a national security sector educational program and the Justice Improvement Act will change the culture of the military responsibility, and it is the most staggering reach into the military structure that has occurred in modern history. So at the back of this, I open it now to questions in the back of those slide program there are a slew of documents that you can look at magazines, videos and so on, if you're interested. So are we good. Okay, good. Yeah, thank you. This is such a complex subject and we have about 10, 10 or so minutes to have some questions and comments from the audience. I would just like to kick it off with a general question that I don't you don't need to answer but I will throw out for everyone, which is when you're in the process of implementing these things into curriculum joint professional military education or otherwise. And you have these active debates going on in Congress and elsewhere, how, what, what is the record of not being always behind what the reality is, and how it's going to be generationally, conceptually, etc. And I throw that out, I guess, as a general question, you can answer it if we have time but I think, in general, that's something we we face, I think, across all agencies. And then we speak for the department and I, I honestly believe they do an incredible job in this area because for a couple of reasons, they continually hire fresh talent, which keeps us really current. And then those of us like me that have been around a while or voracious readers, and we're always tying in because it's what we're teaching we kind of know what's going on down in DC, you have to to be productive in class. In this instance, I think it, it, this system itself keeps it current. Okay, questions from the audience and comments, please raise your hand and Dave stone from strategy and policy department. So, I had a question. If you could specify a little more ways in which you can teach culture in that I get it's easy to find legislation and have students read about legislation. It's harder to find readings on culture and get students to talk about culture. What sorts of suggestions do you have for doing that. Thanks. So, what I can do, please email me, because I did a search created this because I thought this questions might come up and I'll send you my list, if that's okay. All right, good. I have a question regarding other partner nation context so from like a security cooperation standpoint, are there any resources that you've come across that you think would be especially applicable and other partners to maybe bypass some of the challenges we had, and establishing their own structures or policies. Okay, let me make sure I understand information on bypassing general issues in other cultures. So, things that resources that you've come across that you think would help us in interacting with partner nations and essentially establishing their own sexual assault and harassment prevention and response programs or training that could kind of encapsulate what we've learned as a military, and so that they can leapfrog over potentially some of the challenges that we've had. Right, so I think the person you actually need to get in touch with is Dr. Amin, because first of all, I see her shaking her head and I'm out of this now for about three years, but yes, I used to know a whole slew or list of items. So, Dr. Amin, can I encourage her to set, okay, good. I don't mean, I don't like passing the buck. I think I'm too dated. I'm going to add just one quick note to that because Dr. Rhombings brings up an important point and your question is so pertinent, and that is that I think one of the more important things that Americans are discovering when we're interacting with our partners and allies is that some of those partners and allies are ahead of us in this regard, and they have implemented right down to the foundation things that we haven't yet done, whether it's because our institutions are larger or whether it's because there's, you know, more interaction between government and military, but there are definitely examples and data. I think someone mentioned this morning the Israeli forces, they seem to survey everything, and for a long time have had data on this, and there are many other nations as well in my not extensive knowledge about it. I think we have definitely time for at least one more question. Hi everybody. My name is Dr. Montgomery McFate. I am on the faculty in the Center for Naval Warfare Studies and Analysis, which for those of you who don't know is right across the air bridge. So, I was just looking at the statistics on organizational cultural change and the Harvard Business Review. I don't know if you trust them as a source or not but if you do. The statistics are that you have to have 40% of the employees in an organization buying into a change for any change to occur, and you have to have 73% of the management. And I think the way you do that, the only way you can do that is not by teaching cultural change in some sense, but actually by hiring women. And to me, that's the heart of it. And I think at the War College, just to speak truth to power, we have been very successful at hiring women, recruiting women, but we have not been successful at retaining them. So I think we need to look at our own systems and processes in order to bring about the change that Dr. Rahm is talking about. So Dr. McFate, for those of you that don't know, is a phenomenal brain and cultural expert. So I think that's really great information. And I encourage you to, Dr. McFate, I'm not trying to put stuff on your desk, but she's really well worth chatting with if you're interested in locating some cultural materials. Thanks a lot. We have room for one more question, and we're a little ahead of time. So that's very good because we'll we'll go ahead and put that time into your presentations. Yes, please. So I have a comment rather than a question. So just in terms of lessons learned from other forces, I think it'll be interesting to look at the Australian force. For example, the Israeli force doesn't incorporate women into all tasks. So I think we need to look at it from total integration perspective. And I think it is with only total integration, the females get respect within the forces. And that's the start. Thank you. If others have questions as we move on, then I would encourage anyone to ask questions towards the end that pertain to any of the presentations, but we have sufficient time now we're going to move on. And I believe Professor Bell, you are up and please have the floor. Great, thank you. Admiral Dean's faculty students. Thank you so much for spending your time here today. It's really my honor to represent the entire maritime security and governance staff course team. This is a small but very hardworking and mission driven team over in our international programs department. I'm also happy to talk to a room of friendly faces I see many people who've been generous with their time as I've come around to ask for advice and sometimes harass for advice and building a new curriculum. And I hope that you can take some pride and see your contributions reflected in some of what I'll present today. We're also a new class so I suspect that many people in the room are not familiar with the maritime security and governance staff course or MSG SC. So I'd like to use that time to first introduce the course and then talk about the ways that we've been able to experiment with integrating women peace and security into our new curriculum. And I hope that's instructive for everyone. To those unfamiliar with the course. Our team has been charged with something that is pretty exceptional here at the Naval War College, because while most of the college's curriculum is designed around the needs of American officers and focused on joint war fighting. We've developed a brand new curriculum that is tailored for the most pressing maritime security interests of our international partners and allies. We believe that by building international capacity and applying staff course components to primary partner naval missions like IUU fishing and human trafficking is see we're strengthening international relationships and reinforcing our shared global commitment to a free and open global ocean. I think this is a critical function in a time when the world is being challenged by revisionist powers that are looking to undermine that vision of a free and open ocean. This year, which is our first year fully operational following a beta test in 2022. We expect 52 mid grade Naval and Coast Guard officers from 43 different nations, and that puts us at about the same size in terms of student throughput as the Naval Command College and the Naval Staff College for comparison. So our new course spans 21 weeks and includes about 500 student contact hours which is comparable to what our students in the 10 month program and many masters degree programs receive. Due to the diversity of Naval and Coast Guard services and mission sets around the world. Our course covers a combination of us Navy and Coast Guard functions, ranging from marine safety and port security through maritime terrorism piracy and counter counter trafficking operations. One of our faculty members likes to say we do maritime peacetime or stabilization operations. Another likes to say we do everything on the spectrum to the left of bang, I kind of like that version. So building a new curriculum with a small team is a daunting task. It's sometimes a stressful task, but we also really treasure this opportunity to tinker and experiment with curriculum design and assessment and ways that would be very difficult for a larger program with a more established long standing curriculum. We've embraced this opportunity. We appreciate that we get to iterate at a faster clip because it's a short course. And I think we've built a decent understanding of what works over a pretty short period of time. We also know that we have a lot of work to do, and I'm constantly seeking meeting so I can understand the best practices that you all have learned from other parts of the college. So expect me to come knocking if you haven't seen me before, as we continue to refine the class. We've been able to embrace our transition to outcomes based military education from the very beginning of our course design. So our program is built around the same joint learning areas that are required by the joint chiefs of any JP me one course. We've really tried to make our class a laboratory for building primary learning outcomes, assessing through direct and indirect methods, and driving the class through culminating capstone exercises and assignments. I understand that many of these transitions are underway across PME institutions and in other programs here at the college. And I expect that's why Dr me and graciously offered us to come and share our experiences since we are experimenting with this as well. So our classes built on the same typical foundations of lectures and seminars, but given the diverse international student body. We've also been able to integrate a lot of opportunities for students to climb to higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy within our curriculum. At nine different times throughout our course students are asked to critically apply course themes and assess their own national approaches to problems through student questionnaires see those pictured here. They brief their classmates on some aspect of their maritime threat environment where their maritime or military culture four times in these 21 weeks. And all of this reflection culminates in a three week workshop at the end of the course in which each student must draft a national maritime security strategy and then defend that strategy before a panel of their peers, the faculty and distinguished guests, including our CNO international fellows. Thank you for being here today. And last year our WPS chair Dr me as well. We also know that at least one student has already presented this draft strategy to high ranking officials in the Ministry of Defense. So we're very happy with that. Finally, our time with the classes allowed us to include about 100 hours of tabletop exercise in a fictitious world that we've created. So these experiential learning activities which I will call TTXs from here on out occur in afternoons across 12 weeks of our curriculum to reinforce our course messages. Over our course students will respond to oil spills, the war game responses to gray zone aggression from a neighboring countries fishing fleet. They'll organize a multinational task force to enforce UN sanctions encounter maritime weapons trafficking and other functions. Here's some photos from the classroom to show you what a typical afternoon might look like an MSG SC. So when we get students attention for this long, we have the pleasure of having them full time five days a week for as long as we want them. There are many, many ways we might consider promoting the women peace and security agenda. This has been the topic of many debates within our team. And I think it's fair to say that we've had a little fun experimenting with how to best drive critical thinking and assess learning about WPS through outcomes based education. So now that I've given you a basic understanding of our course, I want to spend the rest of my time talking about what our experimentation has taught us about bringing WPS into our classroom. The most important question for us is always, did we do a good job. Do we have any confidence that our group of officers is going home, more likely to use gendered perspectives and their work, and they were when they got here. We know that we can guarantee that we can expose students to these ideas, but how do we increase the chances that a gendered perspective becomes a part of their decision making toolkit over the long term. Here's our class from 2022 I'm happy to share that our class from 2023 both classes actually have women enrolled. So what did we do in 2022, we took an aggressive but pretty conventional approach. We invited guest lectures at the beginning and at the end of our course. We gave each of our guest lectures about an hour to talk to students about the importance of using a gendered perspective. We also invited a virtual speaker from Bangladesh to give a great case study on the importance of considering gender when responding to a maritime crisis like Rohingya migration and the Bay of Bengal. We gave explicit instruction to our students to consider gender and the tabletop exercise focused on a regular migration. We surveyed our students extensively and they told us we did a good job. They found the lectures to be informative and beneficial. They learned things. If we wanted to congratulate ourselves on a job well done. There's lots of evidence for us to do so with a great deal of confidence, but something happened at the end of our course that surprised us a bit. We did not give students explicit instruction to write gender into their maritime security strategies because we thought this is one way this is an outcome that we can measure. How many will do this after three to five hours of WPS instruction when not explicitly told that they must and we found that most of them didn't. So in the summer of 22 that made us wonder what can we do differently. What can we learn. We went back to the drawing board. So here's a hypothesis about what happened first plenty of research points to the strong effects of self serving biases like fundamental attribution error. And these biases might cause us to think that we do a pretty good job of considering gender as individuals. And that might lead students to the conclusion that WPS is included in the curriculum, mostly because others need to hear the message, or because this is a mandatory requirement that is on the outskirts of the core learning objectives. Well, this led us to think well if these things are true, then just like an implicit bias test that's meant to uncover subconscious bias is used at the beginning of a corporate training to reframe a conversation and reveal hidden biases. Maybe we can soften students initial positions and make them receptive to this mission by showing them that gender is something that they could have considered, but chose not to, rather than telling them that this is something that they could consider sometimes. We think a lecturer is in a much stronger position if they come into a room where the audience could have used a gendered lens to approach a problem, but already didn't do so. It gives us a concrete example, and it levels the playing field so that we have an illustration of room for growth. So this student experience of overlooking gender, if we can create that at the beginning, it may, and this is only a hypothesis to be tested, it may create a greater possibility that later messages about the importance of using gendered analysis and incorporating WPS perspectives will be internalized by the students. Okay, so what are we doing with the 2023 class. We tried something very different. Instead of exposing the students to the issue through guest speakers. Instead, we first introduced students to WPS through a tabletop exercise that was superficially about showing students the seven steps of the military decision making process. We did not tell students to consider gender, as they worked through this tabletop exercise, but in a maritime human smuggling scenario, we provided adequate background material on gender, and how that affects smuggling and trafficked persons and the disparate treatment of men women girls and boys by the perpetrators. I should mention Jeff say hi to everybody. There's there's Jeff Jeff did a great job of leaving lots of threads that we think good planning staff officers should have pulled to really explore. But we left the students to do it. Do you think they did it. No, no, but that's what we wanted. We didn't want the students to do it. That's what we expected. Because what that did is it created an opportunity for us in the debrief to say how might this have been different if you'd considered gendered aspects of this. Instead of providing them with a lecture and students thinking that maybe yeah we would have considered this in the scenario we think about this in our service. We can ask them in a debrief and in a positive and constructive way. But how might gender affect. Concepts in search and rescue operations and responses to migration like refalement places of safety asylum. So it created an opportunity that wouldn't have existed if we'd led with lectures. So as we near the end of our course this year, we are thinking about how much we want to lead with WPS as we go into the migration exercise or if we want to leave this is another opportunity for reflection. I think we're pretty happy with how this happened last time. And we're also considering whether we want to now require this in the maritime security strategy capstone. Okay, so what's next. I want to end on a point that might be a little bit provocative here. Courses like ours are meant to educate and instill critical thinking that is JLA number one. We want officers to think about these issues when they go home, but a large part of a course like ours is also showing students from around the world the applicability of military planning process so that they can go home and be effective staff officers. I think a problem we have is that we run into what I call a buzz saw of doctrine, because on this specific topic it's difficult to pair the messaging with best practices and military planning that can be found in our doctrine and in our planning resources. So when we teach risk analysis, we can provide examples and then follow that up by pointing students to the joint risk analysis methodology. And when we teach brainstorming and design thinking, we can point them toward the army design methodology. But while we preach a gendered lens and teach mission analysis, our core documents like JP five, the Navy planning process, any of the several workbooks that are used around the college to teach students mission analysis tools. They don't explicitly mention women and gender, at least I have not seen it. So what we're doing next our next step is to try to develop some simple heuristics so that our students can come up with a gender estimate as part of their mission analysis process and the next version of our course. So I say this with humility, we are still learning that's only a hypothesis. But I think this is low hanging fruit that would be foolish not to reach out and seize with that thank you for your time. And I'll welcome any questions in the Q amp a other question. Oh, actually, I will preface it by saying that at one time many years goes very involved in bringing women into combat and roles in the Navy that they did not previously have so I understand some of the issues but what my question is is, what are those gender differences and thinking in this model because I think of Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands war. And I'm not so sure she made decisions based on gender that would have been different than another Prime Minister. I think of Madeline Albright's advocacy in serving war. I have seen decisions that were somehow gendered. So someone needs to explain to me what the difference are at this level at the defense planning process or in decisions to go to war decisions not to go to war or help of war is operated. Thanks. Thank you very much for the question. I think that there are several examples I can give fear, especially in this area of the spectrum of operations, left of bank in short of conflict. But men are often the face of the global fisheries sector and I you fishing because they are primarily the ones out on the boat, but on the shore side of fishing it's primarily women working as fish mongers as processors selling at markets. So thinking about how fisheries enforcement policy is likely to have effects on shore. I think is an important part of the co a development process. I gave the example of migration, where a decision on what to do with migrants in distress has profound implications for the women and men. We can envision scenarios pretty easily where something might qualify a place might qualify as a place of safety, where migrants can be disembarked if they're men, but maybe not if they're women or girls, based on a human rights record and women's rights in that country. I think in the co analysis stage of thinking about actions, reactions, encounter actions. There's great value in thinking about how women might react. If we're not talking military to military, if there's no enemy course of action, but instead we're anticipating reactions from a civilian population that's trying to be helped in an HDR situation, or in a migrant operation. Those would be some examples sir where I think using a gendered approach to think separately about men and women can be very useful and the academic literature on gender analysis provides some great and simple heuristics for doing this. Thanks. Other questions, or comments. Okay, is that good. Hi, I'm new. That's why I don't have operate this. I just want to offer another example I mean I I'm, so I'm just Steve I'm an assistant professor in SA. The example I want to give is the gender dynamics of the Bush administration right I mean. Andy Rice was bullied out of the interagency process by two hyper masculine advisors right Cheney and Rumsfeld I don't think you can understand internal dynamics of that or many administrations without looking at gender. But my question was more about teaching and I love to hear anyone's thoughts on this. It's known in NSA we have usually one maybe two women students per class. And I've heard the idea floated about having some classes have a more concentrated set of women so maybe five out of 12 or 13 students, and then having some classes with zero. And I'm curious as to what you all think might the trade offs and benefits might be of, for lack of a better word distributing women students in a different way. I don't know that I'm the best answer that question because we have one section at a time, so we don't have any discretion over how to distribute students. I think having women in the classroom is important as instructors we have little to no control over that. But of course, bringing in guest speakers offering a lot of perspectives that are more representative than our student body might be is one thing that is in our control and we do strive to do that. I will just offer my, my comments that I think the distribution of women in the class is a good choice just like the distribution of services, the more perspectives you get in the classroom the better. If you were to pull everyone together who's like imagine a class of all army officers or all Marines or all women, you would just not get the luxury of shared perspectives. I follow up on that. I'm, I've had this conversation with a few people in my department and I understand those points completely. I think I'm kind of wondering though like who gets the benefit there the male students or the female students with multiple perspectives, because it seems like sometimes it's the female student being in there to provide the benefit for the men of those perspectives whereas a good teacher should be able to help provide those perspectives no matter what. I would, I would just say that from the perspective of someone who has kind of watched this over the years. 20 as of this year. You know, I think that would be something that you could survey. Maybe you could you probably ask students. How do you think this is working out. But when you do that you're also introducing other problems into the classroom that may or may not actually be there. We may be identifying gender as a problem, but we can't be sure without asking that every person in that classroom is hyper fixated on gender. So it can have I think the opposite effect of what WPS is intended to do and what I think DEI is intended to do, which is to hyper focus on something that maybe wasn't a problem in the first place, which is not to say that it's not noticeable, because it's certainly most certainly is noticeable from administrative processes all the way up to the people that are conducting, you know, moderating teams, when you when you notice on your, on your roster, that they've taken the small percentage of women and distributed them across evenly. So, I think it introduces as many problems as it solves. Moreover, when you have equity and also, you know, it's sort of related maybe to WPS but I think a little bit more to process and in DEI to, for example, dictate that women should be more involved in committee work. When you have X number of committees across the college and you might not have experienced this yes but you might you will. If you have a lower percentage of faculty that can sit on those committees, then you have also a burden that falls on female faculty to be on lots of committees. That can be very good, but it can also create disparity in workload. Again, the, what the benefit the net benefit or, or detriment to careers is, unless you track it you don't know it's anecdotal. So I think this is what I think this panel is doing wonderfully and I'm going to let Professor Stokes really bring us back home is to raise the problematics that exist in actually implementation phase. This is the hardest part. This is the part that will eat up, you know, lots of DoD dollars, but it is a part that should be very it should be edifying to everyone and hopefully result in something better as we go. Professor Stokes, please look forward. Good afternoon, everyone. I echo Curtis's comments. I'm really delighted to speak in front of the faculty and hopefully my perspective will offer some ideas about integration of WPS into the curriculum for your own, your own work and your colleges or here in your own departments. My name is Professor Jane Stokes. I am a professor over at the Joint Maritime Operations part of the College of Distance Education, a little bit about what I do I'm a co teacher for the Fleet seminar program. Fleet seminar program is your distance education version of the residence program so my course, JMO, similar to the residence side there's three core courses, our students go through two year program to obtain a master's degree, vice the resident program which is a 10 month program, essentially very similar to the resident program except spread out once a week where we have a seminar full of students usually mid grade officers, civilians, mostly naval officers, Marines Coast Guard, a lot of civilians from different capacities who largely are great influences, you know across across the Navy but really across the whole spectrum. The cool thing about it is the College of Distance Education at any particular time has approximately 2000 enrolled officers through it or enrollees, which really lends itself to have an incredible impact on the Navy itself right influencing that many officers isn't important so our, our college has a lot of naval influence at this level. So, the reason why that's important is because with one of the goals of the DOD in WPS implement implementation at the service level is PME integration. And that's what we sought to do and so I'm just offering my perspective of how we were successful in implementing and putting WPS material into our curriculum. And as I said before, hopefully that aids and anyone's attempt or interest in doing that as well. I believe that the ultimate importance is that this influence of getting these, these relatively young officers out there is going to enable them then to lead to the success in the lower levels of providing training to personnel and educating the force and really touch points that these, these officers have with really having them understand and integrate and operationalize WPS at all levels and this is critical for our I believe our strategy and what we seek to do. After all, if we believe that WPS really aids in war fighting, then these officers are the ones who are going to operationalize this and the inclusion of women in operations at this level helps aid us as Americans in being successful in war, or any operations related to war fighting. So with that, I just wanted to highlight some of the things doctor you mean talked about this morning and many of you may not have been there for but part of that WPS implementation is that inclusion of material into PME. And with that, just like, you know, all things we do at this college everything is nested. And so at the naval war college, the, the leadership has taken the DoD strategic framework and implementation plan and operationalized it so that it's inclusive in the strategy of the college to, and also the Secretary of the Navy in February of 2022 had also provided a memo directing that WPS be maintained across PME. So we have this direct linkage of nested strategies to include WPS material into the PME curriculum in the college. Part of the, the colleges lines of effort include these four pillars, I'm only going to talk about the first one which is that education pillar, and there's many ways the symposium being one that the college is implementing the WPS program. And the one I'm concerned with in my discussion is the PME integration, and how that works and so that's that first pillar right there. More specifically, this line of education in effort, or rather the line of effort in education is integration into curriculum. So having the syllabus incorporate WPS as a core topic, cross cutting themes, connecting different areas of study, focused readings, seminar discussions, case studies, all related to WPS are kind of what we started looking at when we looked at integrating the WPS into the curriculum. I know this is a very busy slide. The intent of this is to show what we did on a department level in order to start thinking about how we were going to put WPS material into it. Probably a lot of you use this process. This is the JPM me process of how many, many folks integrate any kind of topic into the curriculum. So you've got your op map your officer, your officer, professional education program that dictates what must what an officer must learn, right. That's our kind of Bible for JPM me. And of that comes to primary things your joint learning areas, and then your desired leader attributes right what does what does a officer look like what should they know. Those are mandatory things that need to go into that curriculum development. And that comes your program learning objectives, which we're all familiar with, which the college generates and that pulls from that, that joint chiefs of staff information, and that J7 information says okay now let's take a look at the college level and what we want to do, and that's updated yearly, and that includes, you know, competition continuum, themed about future and contemporary operational environments, organizational ethical concepts, and theory doctrine. So what you would expect comes from a PME Institute with with military officers right. And then individually that development of the course learning objectives, particularly for us, the JMO course learning objectives includes that critical thinking and naval theory, operational art concepts you may or may not have heard if you've taken our courses, and then those maritime operations and communication. And then finally that develops our curriculum and then our syllabus. So, as you can see from that kind of busy chart, there's a lot that we have to throw into that development there's not a lot of room for adding things to make it more complicated, then we've got the J7 information which pulls the, what we call the special areas of emphasis. So last year one of the special areas of emphasis was the competition continuum. Right, and, and several other things this year was deterrence in the 21st century data analytics artificial intelligence and global force management, all the PME institutes come together and they decide collectively, you know what are those themes that we want to emphasize that year, and that gets included to. So, how do you fit WPS when there's so much already there that it's very hard to move and have any wiggle room with creating anything. Yeah, fortunately a JMO my, my co teacher and I, Professor Adrian should gay, we had an opportunity to move our curriculum around a little bit because we were revising and updating it. So, with that we looked at how could we take our entire curriculum and, and make it more of a building block block approach. And so, in tandem with a resident JMO, we looked at how can we make this more streamlined so it makes better sense for the students to revise the whole curriculum. And one way we did that is by that, like I said that building block approach first looking at the theory. Naval theory, taking, taking our students through the beginning stages of World War two as a case study approach, going back to the beginning parts of that Pacific campaign and driving through some of the operations to then lead us to that joint operational process and then block three, which is our contemporary operations, which is on the competition continuum. I'm going to pause there because that's where we really had an opportunity to include WPS into it and what we had looked at is the contemporary operations to continue them really involved exactly what WPS is about, which is that, that, you know, competition short of war before and after, but also including warfare to right how do we, how do we understand warfare, and continue to do those things even if we're not exactly in war, right. And so a lot of that is that security, how do we maintain security, how do we do, you know, everything short of war, how do we prevent war. And so we nested the WPS strategy as a reading into our block block three there and had our students read it, and we had questions that we generated in a seminar discussion. And we put that in context with our section on state stability and fragility. So we were discussing how, at what makes a failed state when makes a fragile state, but also what makes a stable state and in that discussion, we discussed how women's perspectives and inclusion in operations might or might not have an effect using real world examples of fields and fragile states such as Yemen or Somalia, which drove some very interesting discussions. I think that what we had learned from doing it the first time and the feedback we got from our adjunct professors, one thing I feel to mention is, we don't just teach here at Newport, we have 50 other professors, Jbo professors who teach throughout the country. And that's how we teach so many students is there's seminars throughout the country so we got feedback from our adjunct professors to that gave us knowledge about how that was received by students. And, you know, some of the challenges and the feedback we received wasn't all positive was a lot of the students didn't feel as though we had gone in depth, they didn't really understand some of the strategy, it was too abstract. And as we all know as educators here. There's not a lot of stickiness and knowledge when you are just kind of explaining concepts to them that are abstract, the real tool to gaining knowledge and it being kind of sticking more through case studies and stories and all that and so what we plan to do next year is to put case studies in there and guide the students through activities that aren't specifically only directed at WPS but have WPS elements in them as well. And also to gain more materials such as articles or real life scenarios that incorporate WPS and then guide our students through discussions, which will live in it but not solely focused on WPS. Another nice thing about our nested approach to our syllabus too is that what we have found with the students is they pull concepts from earlier sections and continue to drive them through the whole the whole curriculum. And so that allows us to revisit those themes throughout our course. So maybe we have naval theory at the beginning, but later on, we're touching upon some of those concepts we learned earlier, and our students to have pulled some of the things they've learned from WPS, and have pulled them through where now we're teaching and doing an exercise, they're able to provide examples of where women's inclusion into operations might lead to success with the sort of battle plans that they're creating with their scenario. So that's our that's my thought with how our integration was so far initially successful but can go deeper too. I would offer that by way of feedback also incorporating WPS on a strategic level. I would envision if we raised it up. I could, I would look at the way that, for example the interwar years women had an impact during World War two on creating a strategic space for men to to go into warfare what did that do for the face of warfare, or and on the tactical side, having articles about gender advisors who are on the ground and their success in their operations that they do might be kind of an interesting article to pull for more tactical guided courses. There is a lot of information out there. However, I feel there's not enough material. And I, I would love to have more case studies and more articles that we could throw at the students to really guide them through that aren't singularly focused on WPS, but incorporate those real world scenarios that help further the students understanding of how to implement and incorporate WPS themes through through the coursework. And that is my presentation. That's all I have. Thank you.

Okay. Let's do this one. So, we were talking about things that will form stable hemiacetals. So, what are the types of molecules if they conform or what will be a stable hemiacetal? Five or six. Five or six membered ring. Okay. So, I want you guys to always remember that. So, what you'll see is that you've got either, you know, carbonyl carbon and an oxygen, an alcohol oxygen, either one, two, three, four, five, six atoms away from each other or five atoms away from each other. This one actually is going to make a six membered ring. Okay. So, very, very stable five and six membered ring. So, remember, hemiacetals are unstable. So, this gives them that extra stability that they need to form. Okay. So, the first step we've got an acid here is going to be the acid-base reaction. All wind steps. Okay. Very fast reaction. Once you get that, super electrophile. You see that super electrophile? It's going to hit itself in the face, right? Bam. But we also have the water out here. Why did it not attack? Because it's not as fast, right? It's easier to, you know, do an intramolecular reaction. And to make that, well, in this case it's going to be a stereocenter, but you're going to get both of the isomers. And if you're having trouble, here, let me put that argument. If you're having trouble making these rings, put numbers on. Okay. We'll do it again. Two, three, four, five, six. Right? So, carbonate carbonate is one. Oxygen is six. Three, four, five. And not the last step, of course, because you're not going to isolate this protonated intermediate. Have that water molecule come over and you do the product, which I'll draw on a different confirmation, just for fun. What kind of molecule is that? What is it? What do you think I mean? What are we making, guys? It's a hemiacetal. You guys are insane.

There you go oilers Gotta see this you gotta gotta see some Proving from these young guys been hanging on to pink Shinokawa nice number to 75 the blue jackets good young forward there Sam steel on the blue. I gotta get a Yoshi to Jersey. I think Ratcliffe we got black John Marino devils Number 55 out of 100. Do you have an order number of brew? But there's a lot of orders that come in so it's hard for me to just look at one So if you have an order number or like a name like that, I could look up This pack is done for the jaws of life for that one to a spades Clayton Keller Jordan Harris blue Chase Pearson Markey rookie Border low Canada's not too bad Canada will be alright Japan will be pretty solid PR will be good DR will be good Kilo will be good But I mean if it's not United States DR finally be I think there'd be an upset along the way Mexico will be pretty solid to Alcantara's Cuban Chetkov Lost in Krause Maddie Baneers Markey rookie retro 7574 yeah, if you have an order number you should be fine Yeah, Mitchell. Yeah, you got select H2 and the draft mixer one in each I thought none of those is kind of meh Sebastian, I'll hoe Queen of Diamonds Keller Hayskin in checklist checklists are just gonna be randomly inserted guys Just crazy One-to-one checklist or something Vlasik Blackwood on the blue Who's on Australia other than Liam Hendricks?

So they said he was out for the WBC. Yeah There'd be a few more like that too. Yeah, they're not worried No, they shouldn't be yeah, it's just filling with They're like that put deficit first instead. I have no idea Because you'll have you'll have Jram at third Yeah, we're like, yeah, you put someone there. Who's the shortstop for them? Well Flynn blue Vasilevsky.

This is your burden going forward, so congratulations. In that transition though, I will point out there is a stipulation in the charter that the TSC will migrate towards a technical community TSC based on the project leadership in the after the first six months, and so Chris will be the TSC chair for the first six months, and then once we get the new TSC seated, we'll want to talk about a timeframe for electing a new TSC chair to keep things going. So with that, congratulations Chris. As Todd mentioned, we have a quorum so we can get started Chris. The only agenda topic we had for today from the last discussion was to discuss the proposal. I think there was also some discussion on the list that probably weren't a quick overview of some of the discussions that happened prior to the public announcement. I think some were privy to those discussions and others were not, so it might catch people up. And just of public announcement, we are working on the flak and mailing list integration. I would expect sometime later this week or early next week we'll have that up and running, but we are working on it. And I think that's all the announcements that I had up front. So Chris or Tamas, I'm not sure you both sort of chimed in on that proposal. I'm not sure where you want to start or who wants to take the lead, but I'll turn over to you, Chris, since you're the chair now. Chris, are you there? Can anyone hear me? Dual mute. Okay. I was double muted. I only unmuted half of it. Yeah, so I'll have Ben and Tamas present the proposal, and then we can open it up for discussion amongst those on the call. So Ben, Tamas, you got it? Yeah, I can start first, Chris. I hope you guys can hear me. I can anyway. All right, good. That's still not confirmation. So as we know from the data we had the face-to-face meeting, prominently we have from the contributors, we have two models in our code. So one, of course, you all know UTXO model from Bitcoin base, and then from IBM and probably others. We have the things we call state transition model in which we keep track of the states, and the transaction would mutate the state from one form to another, and an execution engine to manage the smart contract, allowing the application to inject code into the blockchain to drive the smart contract and the logic that's specific to the type of transactions that the application would want to do. So those are primarily two models from the code base that we learned from the very first face-to-face meeting. So this proposal is a collaboration among a number of code contributors trying to merge the two models together, perhaps in some fashion, but at first an attempt to support both and then see what happened. As part of this proposal is also get together for a week sprint, and then maybe a few weeks after that to see how we can take this forward, and maybe we meet adjustments and so on after that. What this proposal is saying is that at first to get started quickly, we want to put out two code base in the hyperledger repo. One is one from DAH, which is a UTXO implementation in Java that also makes use of blockstreams with consensus, and the other code base is the IBM's OBC, Open Blockchain Implementation written in Go, and that represent the state transition model. So we want to put both models out there because certainly from the members of this community, some of us trying to play around with the concept and POC or play around with some scenario trying to code up some application to understand the concept and so on. So at least it give us the place to start with, but we want to be quickly define what is the right code base for us, and that's the first sprint that we want together to work on this, it's very, very important. So that is the second point of this proposal is that trying to work toward that and using OBC as the base and incorporate the UTXO model into OBC as I presented the architecture during the phase to phase meeting, there's a number of flexible points in the OBC framework that we would be able to add additional models quite simply. So this is the exercise of that. So from the proposal then if you go down to, instead of reading the taxi, you go down to the bottom of this document, there's a diagram so I can talk about this diagram. And this proposal is primarily working between Thomas and a number of developers from OBC Group. So we imagine that OBC is the base code for this, then we would be able to bring in the UTXO model as part of the transaction interface from the API point of view. So going from the right to left, from the right hand side is the business logic, which is the application logic. And it can interface with the API layer. The API layer support code above that the application can interface with using GRPC or of course REST is still available using REST or we might be able to provide an SDK for specific languages for example Go or Node.js or Java may have an SDK that can be embedded in the application and that SDK will take care of the communication with the API and the infrastructure so that the application would not have to deal with REST or with GRPC. So that's the interface layer to the business logic. Hey, I'm sorry, this is Morali from DDCC. Are you sharing a presentation? Sorry, I did not share, I thought everybody has shared the doc, but I can share. Let's see, how do I do here? And where is the doc? Where is the doc? Chris sent the doc out a couple of days ago. The doc is on the main language and Tomas actually just went to the party. Okay, I hope that you can see my screen now. And if you're not speaking, if you can go on here. Okay, so let me go on then. So that's the right where the application interface with the API, then continue from the API. So if the API is UTXO, it's the same transaction structure that the API that the application sends in, the API will forward the transaction to the... In OPC, we call it PIA, which is a layer that does a few security check-ins, like if security is enabled, it would do signature verification on that transaction to make sure that it comes from a known member, so on and so forth. So there's a few check-ins going on before the transaction is sent to the consensus manager. And then from the consensus manager, then it will, first of all, it will hand it over to the plug-in. In our case, we have a number of implementations mainly around Byzantine fault tolerance. So it will hand over to the plug-in, and the plug-in will perform the consensus based on the algorithm that is implemented. The output of that is a plot of transactions in order to be executed by the environment, whatever that means. In the case of UTXO, that means that the validated nodes would validate the transaction correctness, meaning that it will execute the scripts, both the unlocking and the locking scripts on the inputs and on the inputs of the transactions, and also validate the output on the transaction. And then deposit that into the ledger. Now, how does it do that? So as we know from the execution model in OBC, there is a thing called chain code. And chain code is a clickable framework that allows us to instantiate any kind of virtual environment. And today we have one implementation for Docker container. So if there is a request to execute a transaction, meaning to validate a transaction, then it will just to see if there is a chain code for that available, the chain code container for that available. And if so, then it will pass the transaction over and say, you know, do whatever you need to do, and what you want to return is whether it's successful or not. So in this case, what we're thinking about doing here is there's a couple of approaches here. I'm going to describe one of them, and then during the spring, we can go into details into other approaches. But the one that I'm thinking of is perhaps a simpler one, is that for the chain code container, currently it is, as I said, it's Docker container. There's a layer that we call chain code shim on the container, and that chain code shim interface with whatever the language that we built the chain code in. Today we support Go, but we have internally, we also have Java and OTS support. So we can enhance that to plug in the DSL interpreter from C++. We can plug that in, and that layer is responsible for executing the scripts coming from the transaction, namely the locking and unlocking scripts. And it will validate that, and it will return the appropriate status, whether true or false, successful or failure. And at that point, we can decide whether to append the transaction to the log or not, to the ledger or not. And that's it, we can continue on. The other type of transaction, the normal OPC transaction flows through exactly the same concept, but instead of going to the DSL interpreter, it will go to a chain code. And it will execute it the same way, return code, and would do exactly the same thing. So that's very much the overall concept. I'm going to pause here to see, Tamas, anything else that you would like to add? Hi, Lin, hi. Wow, that's a very bad feedback. Tamas, everyone, please go on mute. Tamas, if you can try that again. Lin, please. Can you hear me now? Yes, I can hear you. Great. I'm sorry, I had a wrong setup here with my mic. Thank you very much for this. I'm sorry, we have a fire alarm. So thank you very much for this introduction into the technical details. I'd like to take the opportunity to step a bit back and talk about the motivation of why we made this proposal and how we see these two stacks. First of all, these two candidates have quite different origins. Our candidate is originated in the experience with the Bitcoin network, which initiated the discussion about this technology. And your candidate is basically a rethink with the benefit of the insight of how this network eventually unlocks for the possibilities. And you created something that is a very flexible framework, a fabric that is friendly to technology explorations and to research, whereas our framework was tested and tried to develop or deploy applications in the financial services domain. It is a limited domain, nevertheless, it is a tested and working framework with a limited set of functionality. Why we were working with this technology? We actually learned that the flexibility of that technology is sufficient for most of our use cases. I would say nearly all of our use cases. And we also examined the technologies that are known under the buzzword smart contracts and chain code. We think they are very interesting concepts and we would also like to explore them with a framework that is able to support them. Nevertheless, if we think on all use cases in the financial services sector, we think that a network with the capabilities that are already offered by the Bitcoin network or by Bitcoin-like network are sufficient. Actually, the introduction of smart contracts and similar raises a few new concerns, increases the attack surface for such a stack. Therefore, we would like to cautiously enter this space and therefore submit a candidate for consideration of an implementation that is more building on that simpler but just tested technology stack set. I also would like to clarify a bit the buzzwords we were using in this discussion, such as the UTXO, or it is sometimes used to describe the entire alternate implementation that we submitted. That would be coming short of the recognition that it also submits an API which is very important for our business users. The UTXO is nothing else than a forced ordering of transactions which we think is useful. It is a very powerful method of achieving scale and the reason we suggested that this needs to be implemented in some kind of common stack because we think we are afraid that without that concept the scalability of the system would be endangered. We also requested an implementation of a limited script interpreter, a Bitcoin-like script interpreter as a chain code into this new stack because such a small language reduces the attack surface and we have the unique chance of using a time-tested cryptographic implementation of those cryptographic primitives that we can basically inherit from the Bitcoin project or LogStreams technology which was always a subject of the candidate. So these are actually our motivations to get the best of a forward-looking architecture and a time- and business-tested framework. I think I hope that this introduction to the proposal gives you a bit more context and thank you very much again for the in-detail discussion by Ben. Thank you, Thomas. At this point I think we just opened up for the community. Any questions, comments, recommendations, advice at this point? And this is Chris. I've also just copied the document into Google Doc. I should have done that. I didn't realize that the archive strips off attachments. So anybody was looking in the archives, I apologize. I didn't notice that before. So now we have a link to the doc. It can be commented and I think if people want to have access to be able to suggest edits and so forth, please do so in comments and that way they get it. I mean we may add some additional letters but we'll have to sort of at least start with this. So that should just have hit the list a couple of minutes ago. So anyone on the call would like to ask questions? Hi, it's Richard Brown, R3 here. So first of all thank you for pulling this together and taking us through it. I'm supposed to apologize. I've not read the document in detail yet so it may be that you answer it in it in which case just tell me to read the manual. My question really is what I've raised a couple of times now but I still don't really have clarity on and it's what's the argument or the compelling argument for why we should be trying to bring these two code bases together. In my simplistic mind it's clear that they're designed to solve I think different problems and are optimized for different scenarios and it's entirely likely that both architectures are appropriate for the use cases they target. And I'm struggling to come up with an argument for why they need to be brought together. It strikes me that one argument might be if there were a use case that required both types of logic in the same platform or consensus between them. But it's not obvious to me that anybody has identified such a use case and maybe you have in which case, great. But I guess what I'm trying to ask is just because we can unify two different code bases doesn't mean that we should. So I'm just wondering is there a six explanation for why we think we should do this? We can try to respond. This is a show from digital asset. What we think is that the code bases are very complementary where OBC gives a very flexible framework with a nice composable architecture. So that's the first part where it really allows you to test out. For instance, if you look at the comments, there were great comments by Intel about choice of consensus mechanism. And diving into the OBC code we think that you can really disconnect. At the extreme you can disconnect the consensus mechanism and put, let's say, a whover work like mining consensus mechanism under it. So you can really experiment with the framework and try out different ways and you can see that with the chain code expressiveness. If you want to plug in the transaction serialization of a specific use case, you can do that. On the other hand, we're suggesting with merging the code bases is really just getting a first instantiation of a network up. So it's by no means the last instantiation or the only instantiation. But we're trying to kind of merge a balance between allowing this to be a product that has the outlook of developing a bright future that's very different from how it is right now. But also just getting the ground running and finding an initial proposal that will allow this code to be usable in the near future and that gives a sense of ownership to all four of the initial code proposals. So then it's just more around let's get something in place that we feel good with that we can start working from. But by no means is this the end goal and the merges is not just a forced merge to create something. It's really to be able to start the discussion from somewhere through coding and pull requests. So that was the rationale behind that. Okay, thank you. Chris, this is Kelly Olson. I was wondering how this system deals. Kelly, you're extremely famous. Are you on a speakerphone or? Can you hear me better? That's somewhat better. It's still a little bit faint. Yeah, I was asking. I'm sorry if my headset's dying. How malicious Docker images are dealt with? That's an interesting question because I am right now still at the IBM Interconnect conference in Las Vegas. Yesterday we spent about an hour talking with Docker folks at the expo here. And they told us the current version of Docker has the capability for us to really shut down all activities from the container to the host system. So the default allows additional IO and things like that. But from the configuration, we can tune that up to really shut the door. So they told us that there wouldn't be any problem in sandboxing any piece of code to run in a container. And they wanted to comment and help us out. And the gentleman that we talked with are actually in the same town as I am in Derm North Carolina. So that's the very positive answer from them. Certainly we have to do our own investigation as well. But that gives us a very good confidence on where the technology is at this point. Okay, yeah, I think that's something that remains of concern to us. Because there have been privilege escalations and arbitrary code executions that have been able to be enacted over the past year. And so it seems like that could compromise the Byzantine fault tolerance of the system if a malicious Docker goes out to the entire network. Hi there, this is Igor Lelich from Consensus. I just wanted to offer a quick comment. Earlier there was a suggestion that most use cases can be recovered by a UTXO based architecture. I just wanted to check that a little bit because the concept of smart contracts as a buzzword doesn't jive with a lot of the English clients. I think there is a huge interest from industry in smart contracts and how they can operate. So I just wanted to throw that out there to the group. Because we view smart contracts as a very integral part to these discussions. Well, I would not want to dismiss the notion and I'm also aware that there are use cases which are excellently addressed by smart contracts. And I'm also enthusiastic about its future users. It's our effect that so we can live without them and we can get quite far without them. And it is also true that smart contracts in general, especially implemented in a generic to incomplete language in a Docker container and so on, in their full flexibility as it is suggested, raise very serious concerns of security, stability of the network. I don't want to imply that we would not be able to solve that. But I think that this is an area of research that we are glad to explore with this framework. But it's an area which we cannot currently view as a production environment. And since digital asset, still talking for us or users, is aiming to deploy production systems in financial services companies using this technology, we currently do not see it as a viable choice in comparison with a limited execution language where the properties are well tested and the primitives are already time tested. Hi, this is David Vol from JP Morgan. Yeah, I just want to like to just comment that, you know, we too also recognize the strength and power of smart contracts. We like the security guarantees that one can tell the users of the applications that such a system can present. But, you know, we're also, you know, to Thomas's point, we believe that it's really important to get something going this year that we can demonstrate. You know, there's a lot of research done in 2015 and we're looking at 2016 to be the year that we get something into production. And to the extent that, you know, we have sort of a potential short-term strategy that can get us there, build our applications. And, you know, by the way, the infrastructure that we're talking about here, it's all to support the building of applications. And the applications, you know, if they have specific requirements around privacy and whatnot, you know, to get something going sooner and up and running that gives us, you know, some of the benefits of a blockchain type of solution, perhaps not the full range of potential at a smart contract space, now that's still a good place to start. But we would like to get to that later architecture. So the proposal has outlined, you know, I see a lot of benefit in this. We could get something up and going now and as long as we understand the migration path to a more smart contract-based architecture or longer term once we be able to prove out all of the points on that makes a lot of sense. But so I'm just curious, you know, if, you know, IBM and DH and blockchain, have you discussed a time frame where you think that second phase, that conversion, are we talking 2016 or do we think that's going to be in 2017 or 2018? And what kind of framework are we thinking about in that migration to the final stage? We want to organize a hackathon to speed up that convergence. But we would not want to define the convergence by a time point. But by the point where we are confident of being able to deploy the resulting stack in a production environment supporting the features that we currently still have and the non-functional properties that our current stack has or being probably better than our current one. Right, and I want you to clarify something here. And this diagram here might give it a different interpretation. The base of the OPC code is there and that base is there to support smart contract. You know, people still can write smart contract in chain code using Golang and soon Java and Node.js. Right, and the smart contract would be sent boxed in a Docker container or any other virtualization technology that the community would want to plug in because of concern of Docker container security and so on. But I don't think that that would be a concern going forward given the discussion that we had with the Docker fork yesterday. But again, things that we need to investigate for our own confidence in this. So the smart contract is there, UTXO model is there so that to support a variety of different scenarios. Certain scenarios, the UTXO fits quite well and it becomes very easy. Certainly, you know, one can do a chain code to do exactly like what UTXO wants to do but certainly not the same restriction from the set of OPCodes that have been proven and tested in the last six years from Bitcoin network. So that's why, you know, we want to plug in that DSL interpreter to be able to leverage that set of proven OPCodes that has already been running. But perhaps we could enhance its diagram a little bit to show that the existing chain code and smart contracts still there. I have a question on the selection of the DAH code base. If the goal is to merge the sort of security and battle-testedness of Bitcoin in the UTXO model, why was the choice made to go with the DAH software over the Blockstream, which is actually the core code base for Bitcoin? Well, the choice was not, as you describe, we actually have an integration with Blockstream code. We choose to submit a version of all code which is not using it because Blockstream submitted their own project and we would like to, although we have an integration in-house which is a bit of a deviation out of Blockstream code, we would like to achieve the convergence within this foundation between these code bases. We think that the cryptographic primitives, the DSL that we were speaking about from the Bitcoin network give a strong foundation, but similarly, or higher level API layer written in Java is a much better foundation for business applications than you can find in the very original Bitcoin infrastructure where you basically have just RPC cores in a very unstructured and homegrown manner. So we think that the combination of enterprise-friendly architecture for application programs and an integration of the Bitcoin-originated Blockstream code is a right way to go forward. We think that integrating this with IBM's very flexible framework enables lots of new use cases and it could actually be a template for similar implement, similar integrations. I don't think that the suggestion that we made is by no way the only suggestion to integrate into that framework. The same way we elaborate the possibility of integrating Blockstream's DSL interpreter, we could the same way elaborate integrating, let's say, Ripple's transaction processor. I hope that this Hyperligia Foundation proves to be a very healthy lab for these attempts and made the best integration in the sense of commercial success win attempt. Okay, thank you. The one other question I had was, I looked through the documents but wasn't able to understand it very well, but was around privacy and how those need to move into an off-chain transaction. Could you maybe talk a little bit more about how that works? Yes, from the privacy, the model that we have in OPC is quite similar to what we use on Bitcoin. The generation of the private, of the key of the public, key to be used in the transaction is different. We describe it in the white paper as well as the protocol spec. If you looked at the OPC doc that linked from the Hyperligia readme, you will find the doc right there. If you look on the screen sharing, you will find the OPC doc. And in there, there are documents that describe how privacy is managed in OPC. So, briefly, I can explain a little bit here, but I want to point out the documents are here that folks can read. So, basically, since this is a permissioned network, every member of the network, my members including the clients, whether it's an application, a device, a user, and nodes on the network, would have to have a membership registration with the entity we call membership services. And what happens is that it will generate a certificate we call enrollment certificate. So, each entity would have an enrollment certificate. And imagine that a client would have an enrollment certificate. And from the enrollment certificate, then the client can request for what we call a transaction certificate. The transaction certificate is what being used to transact on the network. And recommended to use a transaction certificate for each transaction that happened on the network. And the transaction certificate is generated in such a way that it contains various information in that certificate to allow us with proper authority. For example, auditor or regulator with collaboration from the member to be able to audit the records, meaning the transactions, but not other members on the network. They would not have the ability to link, this is what we call linkability, to be able to link these transactions certificates to an individual. So that ability is kind of like taken away from folks on the network, but only available to certain authority. So that's how we support privacy. So, transaction on the network is completely anonymous that no one would be able to trace back to the individual except the counter parties in the transaction. And of course regulators and auditors. Hey, this is Mick. At some point, Ben, I'd like to go into a deep dive on the membership service and the architecture for that with the expectations for on that. But I think that would be for another call. The question that I had for you on this one is similar to what Richard was asking earlier, which is, you know, all the documents that I've read on OVC, the current consensus mechanisms are PBFT, which is, you know, as you mentioned earlier, it's kind of state transition. But UTXO is really log and consensus around the logs. What you're thinking about the kind of mismatch in semantics between the two is that something you see as being a concern or are we just really defining the state transition as, you know, extending the log? So we look at consensus for a little bit different in OVC. To us, the consensus is like, especially our specific implementation of BFT, is that it's like a transaction ordering, a timekeeper, if you will. So this is a, you know, one could treat that as a black box. And, you know, you would send transactions to it. And the output of that is that it would give you a list of order transactions to execute or to validate. So that's very much it. Depending on, you know, it doesn't matter what is happening in there. The output of that is a list of transactions for us to validate in order. So because of that, it's kind of like, I heard an echo. So because of that, it seemed to me that it is applicable to whether it's a UTXO transaction or a state-based transaction model. Because at the end of the day, what we want is that there's a consensus of the network to tell us that these are the transactions to validate in that order. And that's good for whether it's UTXO or not UTXO. Well, we think that the UTXO, we think, first of all, UTXO is being unreferenced transaction. So in an avoidance of doubt, we are not thinking in the context of a cryptocurrency. It's not about unspent. It's about unreferenced. But in principle, the transactions formed by the UTXO graph which orders them by their content. And the existence, we think that the existence of the transaction in the ledger is the state change itself. The ledger basically progresses by transactions being included. And they can only be included in the order which is implied by their references between each other. We think that the consensus mechanism is working on a higher level than on the individual order implied by this. But it's basically in on batches. The similar matter then it works in Bitcoin. It is basically ordering blocks which contain eventually unrelated or related transactions ordered by the UTXO set. Okay, thanks. I guess looking at the consensus mechanism in OBC, I would have thought the Ripple model or something like that would be a more obvious fit for the kind of state transition approach. So this is Chris. So let me just take my chairhead off just for a moment and weigh in on what we were thinking as we collaborated on this proposal. As y'all suggested, the idea here is we just need to get things moving and provide us with a framework that we can evolve as appropriate and as the community chooses through the discussions on the technical mailing list through contributions and proposals and so forth. This isn't intended to necessarily reflect that this is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. This was intended just to get us to a point where we could start bringing together some of the pieces that had been proposed. We're not saying that this is exclusive of other potential contributions. In fact, we welcome them. It's just, it was something that we could pull together that we thought would give us a foundation on which we could build going forward and evolve as the community sees best fit. Hi, Chris. This is Dave Vole again, JP Morgan. Yeah, and that's very important for us as well because we have some technology that we would potentially like to propose. I'm hoping we might actually be able to talk about it tomorrow, I mean next week. Again, we like the idea of this flexible framework where we could test out different consensus models and test out different ways of executing smart contracts. There are some concerns around docker containers. A virtual machine still may answer some of those issues. There's a spectrum of pros and cons on the framework and it gives us some flexibility to do that. And as you state through proposals and contributions, we could evolve this and take. The one thing I think by choosing OVC framework, it does suggest that we would be doing most of our development in Golang, which personally we're okay with. But I think that's really the only thing that's kind of not really totally locking us in, but it's giving us a strong point in the direction that the strategic development environment is going to be in go. Again, I think we're okay with that. But again, I like how you describe that framework. It can evolve and through the contributions. The other thing I just noted, in this proposal, you do mention that you're looking for an available suitable venue in New York City. We'd be happy to host something depending on what, when it is, we've got several buildings here in New York City that could potentially host that. So I just want to put that out there as well. Thank you. Yeah, so putting my chairhead back on, I will just sort of reinforce that and say that I would fully expect and just to make everybody crystal clear on this, I fully would expect that anybody is willing to put forward any proposal and bring it up and we can discuss it. And I would certainly hope that this thing does evolve and that it isn't necessarily just a point in time thing. I think we're all coming from a lot of different perspectives. A lot of us have different use cases in mind and so we're going to have to figure out how does this framework address our particular use cases and so forth. And if it's not, then I think the right approach is to make a proposal that would help steer it in the direction that does allow you to satisfy your use cases and so forth. Any other, any other? Yeah, so I think that's maybe a good segue or building on the notion that in order for us to evaluate whether or not this is the right flexible architecture or whether or not the architecture is suitably flexible for the diversity of interest of the group, it's probably necessary to spend at least a little bit of time specifying what those requirements are. And requirements might be a little bit too specific of a term, but I think in the absence of kind of governing criteria about what the intentions are, then it becomes somewhat arbitrary about which decisions we make. So, you know, some higher level choices involved, you know, whether this is fully permissioned, and in the case that it is permissioned, it's a centralized permissioned model and so forth. Some of these kind of higher level things, and I think if our organization here can spend maybe the first sprint as you put it, rather than diving into a consolidation of code bases, but instead spends just at least a little bit more time being specific about what it is that Hyperledger provides that isn't already addressed in the broader community. I think that would be ultimately much more efficient and much more successful of a process. Help me understand what you meant by that, Les. I'm sorry, what was that? Your last sentence, I didn't really quite parse it. You're saying to help me understand what Hyperledger provides that the rest of the industry, or the rest of the blockchain community doesn't. I don't think I quite understand what you meant by that. Sure. As a community offering, what is it that our program here is targeting that isn't maybe already satisfied by one of the existing projects like BlocksRain, for example? Okay. Fair enough. So, one of the – I think that's a very good point. And one of the things that I had been thinking about, and I chatted with Mike a little bit about this in Slack, is that I think it would be worthwhile if we as a community were to be able to pull together a white paper that did pretty much, I think, what you just described. You know, IBM took a crack at that with their own white paper in the OBC. I wouldn't necessarily be presumptuous enough to say – and again, I'll have my chairhead on here. As an IBMer, I don't think I would want to necessarily say that's where we should start, but maybe we could think about collaboratively working towards, you know, harvesting either some thoughts from the IBM white paper. I'm sure others – digital assets, R3, Jim Morgan, Intel, others may probably also have either internal white papers or things that they've published. And we could maybe start collaborating on that. So, you know, maybe a subproject or a site, you know, a parallel project would be to actually start to formulate that collaboratively as a community. I'd be interested in seeing if anybody's interested in serving as the editor and sort of lead for that initiative. Then I'll jump up. Well, first of all, let me ask this. Does that make sense to people to start a project where we actually would start to pull together, you know, the sort of high-level use cases and requirements and map out a paper that describes essentially what we're trying to achieve? I think that will help us build consensus in the group. Stefan here from Deutsche Berse – I'm not sure if you understand me, but could we also include in that paper transition path from the starting point to the end point a largely digital decision pass that we know what to do and where to go? Yeah, I'll just comment. I do think it makes sense. I'm not ready to volunteer to edit it, but certainly happy to contribute. Any other thoughts? Richard here, three. So I can't volunteer to lead this, but I do think it's important that it's done. And my expectation is what it will yield is the process of preparing the paper will force choices. So either it will be far too broad and therefore unhelpful, or it will have to make choices about what kind of threat model this system is designed to engineer against how many users or what types of users are anticipated to be part of it, what types of agreements or contracts are represented, whatever it is. Driving some agreement, which will not be easy at all, but needs to be done. Driving some agreement on what the scope is. I suspect it will have two impacts. One is, it will define quite obviously what the platform is not for, which then leads to the discussion of, okay, there's likely to be a plurality of platforms naming it different use cases. And it will then also clearly then lead to easier decision making on some technical decisions. So I think it's very important. Thanks, Richard. So maybe let's put it this way. Since it doesn't seem like everybody's – I think everybody's sort of looking at this and saying, oh my God, I have a day job. Taking on a role of editor might be a bit much. Why don't we do this? Why don't we just sort of ask for people who are interested in participating in producing this sort of requirement slash in a white paper to sort of help us shape exactly whatever it is that we think we're building. Hi, this is David. I would definitely sign up for that exercise. Thanks, David. Anyone else? Hi, Stefan. I would sign up too. Stefan, thank you. This is Igor Lillich from Consensus. I can also volunteer some time. I apologize. It was a crackle. Who is that? This is Igor Lillich from Consensus. I can volunteer some time. Okay. So I see – also in the chat I see Richard, Kelly, and Tamash are also interested. And again, I mean, this isn't an exclusive list. It's an inclusive list. Obviously, you know, if others want to – I think that's a good start. And maybe, you know, from amongst those, you know, somebody will emerge and be willing to sort of take the pen, if you will, and help to herd the cats around that particular effort. I'm going to say everybody now. Let's take a tribute. Okay, well, this is great. Right, so let's do that. I'll go to the – I'll create a Google Doc and link it through the Wiki for those – I don't know if I mentioned earlier, but I actually created a Wiki, you know, that we can use as a project to collaborate. I'm hoping to both, you know, record the minutes of all of the TSC meetings, links to project proposals, and various other collateral that isn't necessarily purely code so that we all have something that we can – that we can flesh out. And again, it's a Wiki, so anybody can go in and edit and contribute as they see fit. Okay. So back to the proposal. So let me just see if I can't just sort of get a sense for, you know, whether people are comfortable yet or they still want to sort of think about this. You know, again, just as chair, I'd really like to see this project sort of, you know, get moving and, you know, get beyond just, you know, just the sort of the requirements-gathering phase. I do think that there's work that we can do to start setting things up without necessarily getting completely locked and loaded. You know, there's a bit of work that's going to have to get done to, you know, build out a CI pipeline and so forth. And that obviously, you know, will have certain dependencies on, you know, which language or languages we're using and so forth, certainly at least from a test perspective and whatnot, but, you know, we have, you know, lots of things that we need to get rolling on and, you know, oftentimes, you know, the best way to sort of kick off something is to pull everybody together and, you know, start both, you know, socializing and getting to know one another but also to sort of, you know, if we can get face-to-face in particular on an initial sprint, I think that will go a long ways to facilitating the distributed nature of the project just by virtue of the fact that people are starting to, you know, to learn, you know, who we all, respectively, are, what their skills are and so forth and people can sort of start staking out aspects of this project going forward. So, you know, ideally, we would have a particular proposal that we could start working on. Now, you know, you could say, you know, we could maybe recall this an experiment of going down an initial sprint of, you know, working on the joint DH and IBM proposal. If that doesn't seem to be working, we can just sort of decide, well, okay, that was an interesting experiment. We learned something and maybe we need to try another experiment. But I, you know, personally as chair, I'd like to get us all moving as opposed to spending all our time on conference calls. So, some thoughts on that? I mean, I just, maybe we could just go around the forum and get perspective from each of the members of the TSC and just start anyway. Hi, Chris. This is Pardha from ATCC. So I think I agree with your idea that I don't see any reason why these two cannot go in parallel while, you know, while some people are working on the white paper and another team is working to bring together this, you know, and work on this proposal that you guys did today. That's my thoughts. Thank you. That's from others. Yeah, this is Mike. I'm generally in favor of moving ahead very quickly on this. I think there are two concerns. One is I'd like to see what step two is that will encourage us to ensure the flexibility and modularity of the architecture that we come up with, but that it's not a single solution. Right. And, you know, my other concern obviously is the one that I talked about in the mailing list, which is, you know, moving fast is both a good and a bad thing. It's good because it forces us to consider concrete problems. It also can lead to, you know, the ossification of architectures too early. So I guess my recommendation would be let's move ahead, but let's make sure we have a clear idea of what step two is that would apply an appropriate pressure to ensure the flexibility of the architecture. I guess I let go of that. The thought going through my head is this document ultimately captures the vision and mission, I suppose, and ultimately the project definition is probably key for me. I'm probably relatively less interested in the code until that's done, although obviously I'll be paying attention. And the consequence of that is I guess we all have to be ready for the possibility that there's a quite significant change in the direction of the code when that emerges. And the only way that would work well is if the document itself is branded in quite real use cases. So we need to make sure there's something in place that doesn't turn it into a shopping list or an engineering wish list, but the decision implicit in that document are there because there's either potential user speaking or there's this evidence from the deployed systems just to keep ourselves on this. This is Stan Leverang from CME. I want to second-mix comments that if we're going to, and it makes perfect sense to start quickly, but if we're going to start before we have this white paper in place, we should really focus on making sure that the architecture is modular enough to allow for changing direction. All right, thank you. This is David Vohl, yeah. And I think that last point is very good as well. You know, you should move quickly and then just check and make sure everyone is comfortable with the flexibility of the architecture. And if we need to make some changes, then, you know, that will come out. But, you know, the way you describe that is, you know, we can look at it as an experiment and not be afraid to, you know, there's nothing wrong with failing as long as you fail quickly. So, you know, it's nice to get going. And yeah, and we don't want to get stuck in analysis paralysis as well, right? Because we could go back and forth forever. So, you know, getting out there, getting something, really testing it, failing quickly and then moving on, I think that's the direction we would support. Thanks, David. Others? I'm pretty sure I haven't heard from all 11. Yeah, this is again a short digital asset. I want to second that point once again. Our main concern was around the social aspect of making sure that this foundation gets to know each other face to face very quickly and really want to balance the two things of how to make sure that we're not siloed into a specific solution and allow comments. I saw the great comments yesterday. So, how do you put in different consensus mechanisms after we gather requirements which I know we're glad to give the requirements for our client base but how do we make it module in order to allow requirement gatherings for other use cases or adding variable transactions as a different chain code. But we want to have this as a stack that at least one instantiation gets into production or pilots in 2016 because that'll keep us all very focused on client's needs as well. And once we have the user committees as well, I think we'll reap a lot of benefits from that, from having a first instantiation. But by no means is the last instantiation. It really is just to get us face to face, collaborating by code and collaborating by Wiki and less by calls and design. Thanks, Joel. Others? Okay. So, I guess I think I'm hearing rough consensus that there is there anybody who would object to sort of moving forward with this fail-fast experiment approach to where we would, you know, both be starting to work on a modular and extensible code base and driving experiment to see if we can to integrate the UTXO transaction model into the LBC. And in parallel with that, to also be working on a white paper slash requirements document that outlines precisely where we think we want to go initially and what we think we're going to be building, you know, identifies in articulates to use cases. And we can sort of, again, I would hope that we'd all be paying attention to both so that we're, you know, sort of steering the ship in the right direction. But, you know, to David's point, I think it's important that we not spend all our time in analysis paralysis and I do agree with Shull that, you know, getting together and actually starting to work on code and collaboratively working on the, you know, the requirements, I think will help bring the team together and actually get this party started. So, let me put it this way. Is there anybody who would object to us proceeding the way we've roughly been describing here? Just with the emphasis that both of these are important and that the requirements is something that will set us up for the evolution of the project. Yes. Or my favorite. Yeah, I would agree with that. So, yeah. I'm just making sure that I understand what you're actually proposing, Chris. So, yes. I think we're nearly there. And again, I do want to emphasize that, you know, I think we all, you know, share a role and responsibility in helping to move this forward. And please do, you know, if you think that we're moving in the wrong direction, speak up and please do say so and then offer up, you know, some ideas about, you know, how we might either course correct or, you know, start to think about, you know, maybe calling this experiment something that we need to maybe, you know, stick a fork in. But, you know, I think, you know, the first step is always the scariest and, but, you know, I'm very hopeful. I mean, I think, you know, we've demonstrated as far as it, you know, we're all coming from places and yet, at the same token, I don't think we've gotten yet the situation where there's been any real, any real tension. So that's always a positive sign. All right, I think we have a plan. We have about 10 minutes left. I think there's a, I think there's a few things that, that I'm sorry, I'm pulling my thoughts together here. I think there's a few things just from an administrative perspective that I just like to get out. Todd and Mike, you know, I set up, you know, the wiki and one of the things that I'd like to have is the minutes posted. And I just like to also make sure that I'm not making a false assumption that Todd will be continuing to take notes. If that isn't the case, then I guess we'll have to assign a secretary or maybe a rotating scribe role. But you've been doing a great job for this one. I just wanted to make sure I understand, you know, what your role is going forward and whether or not, you know, in addition to Mike stepping back, you're also going to be stepping back and if we should be looking for a scribe or a secretary. That's someone from the LF. Well, Chris, so we'll always have you covered. Our ability to document some of the technical detail of discussion as you've probably noticed in some of the notes already is a bit limited. But, you know, if we start getting into cryptographic hash discussions, it's going to be lightweight. But it will do our best. And we do them through Google Docs. So, you know, if anybody has any updates or changes, just let us know where he's a comment in Google Docs or just read yourself. All right. This is like, I probably should have made that after in the beginning. Thanks, Mike. So, yeah, if I could ask Todd, if you could just sort of link the three, I think the three, four more, you know, project minutes into the Wiki. I'd appreciate it. Sure thing. No problem. And I'm probably also going to be bringing some additional people from the LF into the project to help run things. So you may see some new names popping up to help out on sort of the leadership side and just organizational operational side as well. So. Thank you. And one question, Chris, we did, I did bring or raise the discussion last week about doing a face-to-face. I know it came up earlier on this call, the possibility, I think, Dave potentially offered space. I know DTCC had offered space. But did we want to spend any time today sort of planning out where that would be? That was going to be the final piece of the puzzle. You know, I think, you know, David and J.P. Morgan and Chase kindly offered to host this. I guess the when is obviously going to be important. I'm trying to figure out when we might get this done. You know, I guess there's a possible, we could do something the week of this March. And again, I think a week-long exercise is probably what we should be looking to do. Is there in the Lynx Foundation, Mike, is there any kind of policy about giving, you know, certain notice before having a face-to-face to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to get all the requisite approvals and so forth? Is there any policy like that? I know a lot of... We don't have a policy, but it's just a matter of, you know, what will it take to get a quorum? You know, some projects, you know, you can throw together a meeting in three days in San Francisco and get just about 80% of the community for this group. You know, it's a couple weeks out or something. I think that's reasonable, but, you know, if anybody objects to that, now's the time to raise it. So next week is the 29th. The week after that is the 6th. Let me have the 13th. Is the 6th within the realm of possibility to be... Is there anybody who couldn't do the 6th? Anybody? I mean, again, it may be that, you know, those of us that are, you know, participating in the TSC may not necessarily be the ones, you know, maybe we're getting some of our ancient years together and camping out. So there's that. You know, is the week of the 6th something, David, that you guys could host? Or should we be looking at maybe the 13th? And that gives you an opportunity to figure out, do you have the space and for us, you know, collectively to figure out, oh, the course of the next few days. And again, I would hope that we could maybe do this by the middle of the week before the call next Thursday. Figure out how many people, you know, we think we might be sending. Maybe we should do that. Maybe we should do the 13th, if possible, and then try quickly within the first couple days of next week to figure out and have people sort of say who they think would be attending Mike or Todd, if we could maybe, you know, put out some sort of a survey or something just so that David and team can just, you know, find the logistics suitable for that number of individuals and that we can all start, you know, planning travel and so forth. For us, Dr. Berzer, this week doesn't work. The week after. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, but it would put in 21st and then we might be available. I can't do that. I'm not sure. Was that the week of the 6th not work? Oh, the week of the 6th and 13th don't work the week after our availability could start again. Okay. The first is the Monday, I think. Okay, so the week or the 6th or the 13th work, is anything to that? It's difficult. Okay. They do work or they don't work? Yeah, I guess I'm confused. Yeah, he's saying the week of the 6th and 13th are good. Oh, okay. They're not good. Not good, okay. That's what I thought. I heard first. Okay. That's unfortunate. All right. You're on a speakerphone. Maybe if you could say a couple things first and say that if we got that right. Yeah. For us, those two weeks, they don't work. The whole team is basically off during those two weeks. Oh, the 6th and the 13th are not good. Yeah, they are not good. Those two weeks are not good. Okay, I heard you wrong. Okay. After that is good though, so starting the week of the 20th. That looks better, yeah. But if everybody else can do it, just see what we can catch up afterwards. Is there anyone else from the week of the 13th wouldn't work? I almost hate to, you know, I almost hate to sort of put it off yet another week. Chris, perhaps you can, I'm just going to doodle for this and each company will put it, because it'll be hard to find anyone, so that'll be, and we'll see who can do what time. So we'll probably be finding some people, so we'll need a few days to, well, we need a few hours to take a look. Yeah, we can set up a doodle poll and then just try to see who can do it. All right, so let's do that. Let's have a doodle poll for the, let's just put the three weeks, 6th, 13th, and 20th, and let's see who we can get and then we'll go with wherever we have the largest form, if you will. Okay, I think that's good, and let's actually try to close that out. Chris, just a quick question. Is this face-to-face only open for TSC members, or is this for the broader community? No, it's open to anyone. The intention is just to get the party rolling and actually have engineers sit down and start pulling things together. I mean, I think there's work to be done on the code base itself. I think there's work to be done setting up continuous integration delivery pipelines with Travis and whatever. And then there's work to be done on the use cases and the white paper. So I think that it's really as anyone is welcome to attend. I think we have to figure out who's going to come and probably need to have a registration and cut it off at some point because we can't just have an unlimited thing. So I just want to move on this quickly. So maybe if we could have a doodle poll, we all get back by Tuesday of next week and then we can start planning the logistics and opening up a registration. Thank you. I think we're at end of job. So I want to thank everyone. Thank everyone again for your support. I hope that we could all collectively be successful at this. So I think Todd or Mike is going to send out the doodle poll and we'll get moving. Thanks, everyone. Thanks, Chris. Yep, thanks. Thank you. Thank you.

Today, our lesson is about comparing numbers. We shall use the symbol greater than, less than, and equal to. Let's use the Hungry Alligator method to help you remember which symbol to use in comparing numbers, greater than or less than symbol. Just remember, the Hungry Alligator would always want to eat more. This is the greater than symbol. It looks like the alligator's mouth opening to the left. And this is the less than symbol. It looks like the alligator's mouth opening to the right. Knowing that the Hungry Alligator wants to always eat more, its mouth shall face the set with more objects to eat. Have a look of the sets of fried chicken. The set at the right has four, and the set at the left has two. Definitely, the Hungry Alligator would like four fried chickens because it has more. So we say that four is greater than two. How about the sets of fried chickens? The set at the left has one, and the set at the right has five. Definitely, the Hungry Alligator would like five fried chickens because it has more. So we say that one is less than five. How about sets with the same number of objects? We call them equal sets. Just like the sets of fried chickens, at the left there are three, and at the right there are three as well. So they are equal sets. Equal sets have the same number of objects. So we say that three is equal to three. Now let's have a few trails. Compare numbers by using greater than, less than, or equal to symbol. Compare numbers seven and three. Seven is greater than three, right? Five and nine, right? Five is less than nine. Compare 15 and 15. 15 is equal to 15. 38 and 50. 38 is less than 50, right? 25 and 25. Yes, 25 is equal to 25. 84 and 17. 84 is greater than 17, right? Go get your book, kids. Answer the pages on comparing numbers. Don't forget the alligator method.

Like humans, animals also get cancer and need to be diagnosed and treated using radiation. In fact, the use of radiation in veterinary medicine is increasing worldwide. We treat a broad spectrum of species that range from very small animals, like small reptiles or birds, up to very big and heavy animals like horses, cows and exotic zoo animals. Veterinary and human medical procedures are different. For example, in radiotherapy, animals need anesthesia to remain still enough for vets to target the correct part of the body. Examinations such as x-rays often take place outside of veterinarian facilities and owners or staff need to hold the animals during the procedures so they do not move. If it is necessary that people are in the room during the investigation, then it's important to reduce the effect of those. Training and protective clothing such as lead aprons, thyroid shields and gloves can also help protect staff from unnecessary radiation. The IAEA is developing its first safety report on radiation protection for veterinary medicine. The animals, they don't follow instructions well, so we have difficulty in getting them to cooperate for even simple procedures. So this was a response to give both the regulatory authority and the veterinarian professionals some guidance on how to use radiation safely.

All right. Good afternoon, everyone. And thank you for your patience. We had a little bit of a few technical difficulties. And I guess I should say for the record, we don't have a live, there won't, there wasn't a live show today. But we are recording the meeting so that anyone who wanted to watch it, they'll be able to watch it later. Is that correct? That's correct. All right. So we're gonna call the meeting to order. And Madam Clerk, can you note that I am here as well as my dear beloved friend, the Honorable Howard DeBall, as well as the Honorable Will Brennan. I like him a little bit too. And we're going to get right into it. Our first presentation today is going to come from Ms. Felicia Kielgore with the Department of Community Development. And this is the 2223 Community Development Block Grant Consolidation, Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. And we just call it the paper. Paper. Good morning, everyone. Thank you, Tina. We've got to outline what we've got to discuss this morning. And so what we have here is a performance review in terms of our activities, utilizing our funds that we receive from HUD. And so what we will be sharing our numbers, our activities, funds dispersed. This is not a final document. A final document is actually due into HUD on September, September the 28th. And so you would see you won't receive council members will receive a final document of all funds dispersed. So as we speak today, we are still dispersing dollars as relates to several our activities. So the numbers that I will share with you this morning, it's based upon our drawdowns in our IDIS system from Friday, this past Friday, which I think fell on the tent, I want to say. So I do have outlined our dates as relates to the paper. We do have a requirement of a 30 day public comment period that will allow constituents in residence to review our activities, our disbursements and make comments towards those. It opened up August the 25th, and it does close out on September the 25th. And of course, we're sharing with you this morning with the City Council Community Development Committee here during this meeting today. And of course, we have our scheduled public hearing that will be held at the Eau Claire print building on September 21st, starting at six o'clock in the evening. And anyone is actually able to come or local residents, anyone interested want to review our activities, performance in terms of how much we disburse towards those very active and make their comments towards those. And so just a quick question. So today was noticed as a public meeting. Yes, I just wanted to see is there anyone here who from the public who happened to come just in case someone has anything to say? No, right? This one sure. Very good. Here we have our funding sources based on the various programs, allocation that we've seen directly from by used outlines our revenue, which is our mostly our government that received this fiscal year as well as program income. So if you notice for our CDBG, we receive this is entitlement as well as program income $2,205,987. And we disperse thus far. And this is from Friday this past Friday, $1,766 and $337. That's in the CDBG. If you notice our CDBG cares on coronavirus aid funding. Of course, we have a period of six years to completely expend all those dollars. So we do have some more time to actually spend. But I want to share where we are in the dollar amount that we receive to support that particular program. And please keep in mind, we do have various activities that we have outlined to support that. So we receive $1,588,189. And thus far, we disperse $3,78,581. And what year are we in now? We're in the this is results from our fiscal year 2022 and 2023. Well, as far as the six years, we're over. So we're what we're in our third year. So for our home, which is our home investment partnership program, entitlement plus program income, we have in revenue $1,290,290,312 dollars. And we have expanded thus far $42,283 in of course, 74 cents. Now, we are in the process of putting out another notification of funds. We're scheduled September, September 15. Next Tuesday, as a matter of fact, we're meeting at the excuse me, the Earl Wood Community Center there. And so we are encouraging all non profits and for profit organizations to actually come out to our application workshops, and kind of go over the guidelines as it relates to the home program to support additional affordable housing units. So we do have plans to expend those dollars. For our hopper revenue, we have $1,689,158. And we've expanded thus far $1,550,300. And of course, for our hop on cares, coronavirus eight, eight, we received $220,838 and we've expanded thus far $119,000. And as a matter of fact, that particular program does in this year. And our get line to have all money's expended is one, the 16 16th of September. And just as I mentioned earlier, we are in the process of drawing down traditional expenditures as it relates to the virus. Any questions? So we feel comfortable that we have to send the vote 220 for saying so now calculation, we're supposed to split everything so for 14 cents. Okay, so looking at our total community impact with all of our program funds. We have expended this fiscal year, 3,107 for $72,409. If you notice, our leverage, our leverage impact, which includes other government federal funds, as well as state and local dollars. So we've actually had a community impact of $6,990,349. For our CBG disaster recovery and our CBG mitigation programs. If you notice here, for our mitigation, it's actually highlighted in the red orange color there. Year to date, we've received $725,587. We get spend excuse me year to date, $725,587 for when the funds were received. And this reporting period, this reported period here, which is our fiscal year 2022 2023, we've expended $121,616. For our disaster recovery. If you notice our year today, when we were first received those dollars, we've expended $21,478,518. This reporting period, this particular fiscal year, we've expended $6,283,438. And so what was the total mitigation budget or allocation? That was received. And the DR amount was the signing board. We're close to very close. So we say close. Yes, we are in our final stages of dispersing those dollars. We have asked for an extension from honey. So we're in the process, hopefully giving that extension through fingers crossed toes frost, that we'll get that approval in this first additional funding, and hoping to help provide some additional units that range away from 46 additional units. You don't need any help for y'all guys. We got it. We got it. I'll add that to my credits. Just to add on the additional accomplishments that we development has taken in this past year. We did celebrate our 2023 National Community Development Week, April 10, 2014. We also had our Community Development Staff Day of Service with Harvest Hope. And then we collaborate with the Ramserve Community Organization. We implement our Love Your Block grant program, which is for me now the Action Action Grant program, where we assist 11 neighborhoods for a total of $13,056. Commencement the customer assistance program, which is assisting residents that are delinquent, or that experience with delinquency in their water sewer bills. And so we were able to provide some assistance to those residents. We assisted 317 residents for a total of $157,719. That's a quick question. Do we think we'll continue to need to have that fund? Is that an issue that we think? Okay, very good. It's been a great program and lots of folks experienced those types of concerns. All access. We have had some training and workshops of an all access initiatives. And so we've serve approximately 150 residents with various educational workshops. We've actually conducted some workshop with OVO. And so they have been a great catalyst in terms of our community and partnership engagement. And then we launched our SHINE housing program, which is our maintenance assistance program. And so we're in the process of working through those applications, so that we can get those projects off the ground. So we receive 200 applications. In terms of our public service, we've dispersed $137,338 in our public service activity. If you notice the recipients that receive funding, fast forward, homeless, no more, mental illness recovery, and then United Way. For our public's facility improvements, we dispersed $732,295. We assisted two parks, the TS Martin Park, as well as the Hyatt Park. Thank you. Thank you. For our housing loan program, we dispersed $558,114. We closed two affordable housing loans. We had one C Linder two program that closed and we finalized one maintenance assistance program. I think it's important to note too, we were staffing back up during that time. Yeah, so that with COVID and all kind of changes that we had, I just wanted to know that we're staff that we're staffing back up and get because that's what that's what she used to do. So I'm glad to see that we're back rolling through some staffing changes. Yeah. The past year or so. And so yeah, we fully almost fully staffed but our housing side is definitely fully staffed. Yes, we're working together to kind of wrap that program back up again. One other thing on the housing that I think it's important for us to understand is that we have 365 loans in our housing portfolio and have a long volume of over $14 million. A lot of cities don't do that. They grant the money out. Absolutely. And then they don't have any money coming back in from the repayment of those loans. Just like we did on the enterprise zone. So the only enterprise fund is still viable because they didn't grant all the money out. They used it to produce income that further is reinvested in the community. With a very, very low low low default rate, which is even better. Yeah. If any, but I mean, you really have defaults. We rarely have defaults. And the ones that we come for, you know, we try to work with those applicants to come up some creative ways to modify their loans to help them stay in their homes. Because we make good loans. So in terms of our home in Hawthorne, for homes of hope, we assisted him with our home dollars. And he actually has finalized his project. He is 100% least up and he's over and that project falls over in the Edisto community. So we're extremely excited about that. And hopefully we'll have more homes in units to come forth. For as I hop on, we assisted 93 households for tenant based rental assistance. And we assisted 528 persons with supportive services. Use our Hawthorne dollars assistance. And we've dispersed dispersed a total of $6,557,560 in Hawthorne dollars. For as our CDBG, let's see. Maybe that's it. But I will share this with our CDBG CARES Act. We did support OBO assisting some of their recipients and actually save 617 actually full time positions by providing additional dollars for them. And of course, we have completed 43 single family homes utilizing the CDBG disaster recovery funds this particular fiscal year. Any questions are concerns? I did. And I know we're not going to not to go in any details, but the 2.5 million for ARPA be addressed as a part of the September 18 funds. Is that a are y'all addressing that in that or is that going to be a separate handling? Separate? Okay. And that does not have to be included. This report is for the fiscal year that just ended for that period. Right. And the only thing I just wanted to make sure we put on the record, page seven, Community Improvement Projects, Belmont, Brandon, Acres, Cedar Tears just don't like to hear their neighborhoods. Sometimes they don't know. College Place, Colonial Heights, Melrose Heights, Old Shandon and Pinehurst Community Council, I think that I participated in a couple of the College Place ones. So I'm grateful for those. And those are really good for the community because I like to see the community cleaning up its community. And I think it encourages other people to do the same. Thank you. Thank you. Do you need us to take any action if this is just on the record? Oh, and there's no one here for public comment. No one's here for public comment. I just want to know for the record that we did open it up and there's no one here. But thank you all so much. Is that good? Very good. Great work that y'all are doing. I appreciate it. We will next move on to for committee discussion. We're going to I'm going to turn it over to Councilman will bring in to discuss Columbia Town and Gown. Fantastic. Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. From our last meeting, we introduced the concept of the Town and Gown Association. And we asked staff to go and take a look at what that structure might look with the core tenants of working in coordination with city universities, city universities in our neighborhoods to really focus on neighborhood quality of life issues and in smart growth initiatives around the schools and around those neighborhoods. So today we are going to hear what staff has put together. From the Peyton Lang, her official title is Policy and Programs Advisor, and Krista Hampton, the head of planning. The International Town and Gown Association is right up the road in Clemson. So I imagine they've been a good help giving us templates to help put this together. So I'm excited to get an update on structure and timeline and how we can move this forward and really bring everybody to the table. So I don't know who wants to start. We kind of split our updates up. So since you tasked us with beginning the process to look at how Columbia could adopt this, we have met with USC, Miss Best, I believe is here, representing them and kind of talk through what some other communities have done, what existing community groups there are with universities to ensure we're not duplicating exactly and kind of discuss within partnership the best makeup for long lasting partnership with the committee. And as you can see broken down is our current makeup under discussion. We wanted to number one, I will say bring it to you to make sure it captures the vision as you asked us to report back. So just to walk through that, we have each of our college and university representatives here with a preference for a president or their designee to be active. Five city of Columbia representatives capturing Columbia Police Department, Planning and Development, Code Enforcement, Parking and the Mayor's Office. The asterisk designate since the mayor will be the co-chair of this committee. This is an ex-officio position unless he's not there to keep it at an odd number. And then four neighborhood representatives and it's proposed for the clusters of communities around our Columbia neighborhoods to designate who this will be. So kind of influencing partnership there as well, because we feel like those communities need to be the most represented someone from the hospitality sector, as well as transportation. And this is kind of we're fluid on the numbers here and making sure we capture enough voices, but not make it too complicated. And then of course, our co-chairs. And that's kind of the first order of business getting that structure in terms of what this will look like. And then from there, here are some topics for subcommittees that have been discussed, such as planning, safety, transportation and parking off campus life to really capture that off campus housing and talent pipeline discussed, as well as community engagement as our students are part of the community and hopefully transitioning into them. So that's kind of the initial conversations we've had wanted to bring that to you. And I will let Ms. Hampton take it from here with the formalized side. Certainly. So the frequency to the frequency would be anywhere from three to four. We're that we're green. Thank you for letting me just want you to know the camera was looking at you. No, really, thank you. That was sincere. And so the frequency would be three to four meetings. So what you all really need to do next, but it does, it is going to require coordination from USC and the other colleges. You'll need to see whether this is the direction you want to head. If provide us some feedback, see what changes need to be made. We also need to make sure we incorporate any changes from the university. So we'll have to balance those as well. And the other stakeholders. But then your colleagues will need to also endorse this at the City Council meeting as well. Pardon me. And our formalize the structure, appoint it as a committee as you have with your other committees. What would be great too, is if you wanted to determine a timeline or is this a standing committee? And then more than likely the subcommittees, you will need to go back and forth. Those chairs might it might be best for those to be designated by the group itself. So that will be another step in the in the process and formalizing which actual subcommittees. These are the ones that we, I think, agreed. We're addressing the issues and the needs as articulated by the side of council member, but you see others, but still trying to keep it manageable as well. So what what is your feedback? I'm here. I'll go first. The one is, is this a model that you got from Town and Gown? Or is there something that's unique to the city? It's a little bit of a blend. So we started with multiple local Town and Gown councils kind of their makeup and everyone does it a little differently. And so the next step that I slightly mentioned is there was a former or current group at USC that engages community members, neighborhood association. So looking at kind of how they built it out and then incorporating the wishes of number one, the mayor and then council into that. I believe just to go ahead, I know the how many representatives from each school were really unique city to have so many universities and colleges here. So that's one thing that's not found very often. A lot of times it's Clemson and they have Clemson University and then their technical school. So having this, I will say that's kind of unique from our research. But it's very much follows having people from the city, having people from the community and then from the universities. When we discuss this six weeks ago, we were talking about maybe starting off with the university USC is as the participant with some from the city. And now we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine universities there. If we're going to use nine universities, I think we need to have weighted voting voting on that because you got I think the no Ryan University is not equal to the University of South Carolina and the issues that would be impacting USC will be a lot different than will be impacting the smaller universities there. So I would suggest that we come up with a voting system that would give the authority of this town and gown to the universities that are really the impact in the quality of life that we're trying to control by this town and gown. And we can definitely look into ways before you come in. And I totally disagree. But you start working on it. That's why we have a good market. Hey, everybody's having a good one now because I did get, I got a couple of calls from some constituents saying we don't agree with just the one university. And so I don't understand why we would do the weighted. I know what you're saying, but we have to be careful. You know how you are, Howard. And you know how I am. But making sure that we don't make any particular university or college feel less than than the University of South Carolina. I mean, and I have no qualms, my baby went to University of South Carolina, but we want to make sure that we handle it because, for instance, that may be the primary issue over there, but Columbia College and their neighborhoods. Okay. It's just as important over there. So I don't know if it matters how many people you have or the weighted voting. I wouldn't want to give University of South Carolina folks more decision power. Does that make sense? Because they want it over their part. I mean, you want them to have more control over their area, but I wouldn't want them to have control over other areas. I don't really understand that. You got 19 voting members. Does that include the CPD, the planning and development code enforcement and all that? Is that where you get the 19? As it currently stands, yes. Maybe we go back to, all of those would be ex-officio members and the voting members be the universities. And then you could have a total student population and you get to vote as a percentage of your student population. I think Ms. Wilson had a question. Just a point of clarification for me. And I'm probably dating myself because in the olden days, as Mr. Devall was talking about earlier, but when we used to, we had an iteration of stops and starts of working on a town-gown formal relationship, which was really based upon ITGA and when Clemson first started and the host site and all of that. And I don't know what I haven't been part of this discussion since I was out, but if this, what we're formalizing as a city, sounds like intended to be more broader than what ITGA I think prescribes as cities with a flash of university or a college suited city that is specific to the city and that college relationship, right? So is ITGA and y'all's research still structured like that? Which I think it probably is. I'm just point of clarification. We're not, the intent of this isn't necessarily follow the ITGA model, which if it is not, then I think the direction y'all are going because we're a college town with lots of colleges and universities and you're trying to create something that's more inclusive to what we're doing right here in Columbia with them versus being a member through ITGA necessarily, which I think we probably still can be a member, but it's, that usually is like a city and the respect of college or university, which they have all the over the years they've really developed and they have all of the, you know, the programming and the conference and probably some of the resources for students in the town. Is that am I off on that or is that? Well I think that goes back to what y'all were saying earlier, the distinction is that we have several schools. Now if y'all are saying we the only, like you got to tell me, like I guess like Ms. Wilson is saying we're doing something different, period, is so that's a big, that's important, I get thanked for, because maybe I'm there, you know, I didn't go to USC, y'all had to remember, but if that is, I don't, I have no intentions of trying to change the concept of a national program, so I guess what my next comment will be are there, is there something in addition, because I mean our school is gonna, the other school is gonna be offended, but is there another model that incorporates, because you can have both, I think, but is there another model or do we create a separate model, because again, if this is working and and it works, that's great, but we do have to make sure we have something and it could just, I don't know how we do that, but a different model for, like to make all of the schools feel inclusive, does that, is that too much work or, but I'm just gonna tell you, I know, because I've already gotten calls about it, and we need to have something that addresses the other schools too. We could always reach out the ITGA and just, we're not the only city with multiple colleges and universities and find out what they've done in other areas and how they've addressed that. Well, I think the 900-pound gorilla is the University of South Carolina and that's the one we need to get there. And we know that, Howard. Let me ask you, Krista, you know, one of the core, I guess, drives for this is our retention of talent. You know, all these, all these colleges and universities can put out great talent. Do you think that layer is different than the original mission of some of the ITGA stuff that you've seen? I mean, is that, is that always part of their mission, is we want to roll out the red carpet for our student population. We want to give them the best experience that they can have for them to want to stay, grow that small business, start that family, grow that family, and contribute. Do you think having that in our kind of mission is different from what you've seen over research in the past? When you look at most of the committees, it really is about communication among these large institutions and ensuring that policies are aligned. I mean, I'm certain that is an auxiliary goal of some of these, but generally speaking it's about that you have these two large institutions that are sometimes undivergent paths are not communicating and trying to make sure that. Right, so that's kind of my point. We're layering in something that I think is unique to a lot of these associations elsewhere. I completely recognize your point about communication and growing together. Campus City, but I think it's very important that we we include not only the University of South Carolina, but the other institutions in some form or fashion promoting, you know, in that, because the end goal is, you know, making the best experience for these students, you know, for them to want to stay. Well, and for me learning a little bit more about the overall intent, I would almost suggest looking at town and gown as the need almost for the University and the City. And then talent retention, maybe that being something totally separate that addresses every, you know, that has every school and maybe that makes it a little less complicated, maybe, because first of all you narrow down the purpose and you kind of know what you're doing and then you can have whatever the curriculum is or what if the goal is or whatever the programming is. It's the same and everyone feels the same. That's just what I would throw out there. Would y'all suggest when this is formed having the first group having a strategy session, you know, to kind of paint the picture of what the next five years for an organization like this looks like? Was that recommended at all about association? I haven't seen it in the documents I looked, but for any good group, you know, that usually is a good idea to determine what you're going to tackle at least for the first several years. And then your subcommittees as well, if you choose to have those, can have that same discussion. Oh, let them figure it out. How you saying it? Well, ask us and we do have University of South Carolina represented here. Do we have y'all discussed this at all or have any thoughts or input? We had a great meeting a couple weeks ago and just talked about what we're back live. Sorry about that. Yes, we had a good meeting a couple weeks ago and talked through all what Peyton and Krista have kind of briefed y'all on. This is a beginning step and we at the university want to include all the universities in the area. I think we can all find that together we all have different issues. You know, the city of Columbia and we might have Columbia College, like you said, is going to have some different issues than the University of South Carolina, but there's going to be some overlap on issues. So we're all still trying to find our way in this and would love your guidance. I don't know that we have 100% answers for y'all today, but maybe we come back together again and with some more council input see how we define and willing to work, you know, together with everybody in the community because I think that makes it. I think Missy probably makes a good point along with Rebecca about maybe some additional input. Have you all actually talked to ITGA's leadership? Just for the point for resources, but not an official meeting. Yeah, it may be timely now to just ask more direct questions about the structure as they said and what works best. Is it, you know, can this structure that the city's trying to create work under the auspices of ITGA or can, you know, go into the conference and taking part in some of the programming and that sort of thing just be something that we aspire to utilize as a resource. I do think unless it's changed a lot, the original mission with ITGA really, as Chris said, is about some of the things that I think we have as an offshoot been doing with Rebecca and the university, you know, ambassador programs and cleanliness and move in and move out and how are students behaving and how are, you know, how are cities making sure their residents understand that they're living among students and that university understands vice versa what accountability or responsibility means for students and the universities. From my memory and my understanding that was the flagship piece of town and gown. I think surely over the years that it's morphed hopefully to them addressing some of these other really great issues like retaining talent and intention, but if that is what I think you all want to be the focus of this, then maybe you need to build it around that the focus and then use ITGA maybe as a resource or also some foundational things that might more apply at times to the university just because of where it sits and what it brings to the table and some of the things we're already working on with our staff. And I think too one of the things about USC is it's so broad that you do have residential components within the city which creates the need for the I mean not within the campus which creates the need for the communication. And so a lot of the other campuses are not like that. However I do think that we've started having issues with Allen and some of the development that they're having and you know going back and forth so I mean I can see it different ways. Y'all just tell us what I mean we just want to find a good structure but I think this is because I also try to look at well where we have any issues. I'm not going to say the school you know by the numbers because of the sheer numbers we tend to have more issues and I think it's because we have the residential that's on the campus but we don't hear a lot of those same types of issues from different schools if that makes sense. So like a lot of these are out and have their own campus and there is no interaction so there are no problems so I think it kind of goes back to first of all let's be clear what we want to achieve what that program allows us to do and how we can kind of marry the two. Yeah I'm looking at it now it almost seems like we should just make another subcommittee the talent retention component with an economic development kind of dropped. I think that yeah I think that yeah and then I let me ask you all a question the four neighborhood representatives the college and university clusters what's the vision there on the process for doing that and would it be just just I guess a more efficient appointment process one per district representative what's what's the thought there? Yeah we didn't there's a number of neighborhoods around each of these and so instead of having one from each neighborhood it would be one from each district. So and who appoints that? Council at this point right that was the idea but again that can if you all feel strongly about something else. Council appoints those four. Yes well actually I mean council let's see and the hospitality sector who else? You've got the two committee co-chairs well yeah so you would do the hospitality sector because there's more than one hospitality sector. Okay yeah would the council would you make it an appointment one per council district? You gotta look at where the cluster of neighborhoods are yeah around colleges. There are districts that have a lot of impact from the university. Mine being one of them my home not my district being one of them and I would think there again if we're gonna have a representation it it ought to be representatives from people that are feeling the impact of the students. Oh yeah I agree and that's I agree that that those impacted by you. I'm so glad we agree. Well we're an application process. We're agreeing but and in the We're in tennis too. Right. Is that the way to be in tennis? Is it about addressing those things or is it about or about that's you know that's always gonna be there but this is about talent and attention I don't know that that matters as much about you know like it would seem more balanced and even across the city you're right everybody's gonna care about talent or attention but I don't again I'm just you know I'm always over here like the devil that because what's your attention? But your first your first description about how it was when when it got started is is the feeling that I have to it needs to be more about helping the university and the city population get along together to discuss problems to solve problems talent retention can be a subcommittee of that. I agree that that can be that's why I think we need to have either less representatives or weighted voted voting because I think the the the biggest person or group that needs to be at the table is the university and the city neighborhoods. So is that expanding on the group that's already working from the university and the neighborhoods? I mean I know it was focused on a specific part of campus but expanding it to the whole footprint because there's a group already doing that. It's just not looking at the whole university and Rebecca please speak up. Yes there there has been a group that is well is a group that is working in primary like you said a lot of it's focused around campus village where the new opening was and said that group is the ambassador program and so the mayor met with us when we met and he very much wanted to include other schools and universities. He didn't want to leave anybody out but like Teresa has a really good point. Was more university of South Carolina with local folks neighborhoods. So maybe it starts in that and this is a subgroup. I don't know we're still learning how to make this work but there is a group already this engaged in working in the neighborhoods and we work with Jim and the other neighborhood leaders. So maybe that's a segment. I don't know but we are doing there's a lot of communication daily. You know I will know the printing made it a little to the side note even for myself. The University of South Carolina has been instrumental in helping us kind of form some options and that's one reason that they will have a co-chair with the mayor for the first iteration is what we're suggesting. So I don't know if that's weighted per se but you know that's now two representatives from there in our current conversation. So that's one thing I would add. Jim to the speaker. You can make a three-minute point. Erica you got your time. Two points. Oh I got one. Jim Daniel Wells garden neighborhood hill neighborhood association. Two I count seven schools. Can y'all I mean can some. There's seven listed. Seven. I thought you said mention nine. I just couldn't count. Yeah. Okay so seven okay I'm there. Okay what USC is talking about issues that I think our neighborhoods or the surrounding neighborhoods have seen is the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's half doing. The USC does one thing but doesn't let your city know the city does something that university know. That I think is part of what the town and gown committee so they all talk to each other and then we've got these subgroups that are working now in the neighborhoods that you know so far so good on what university is instituted with surrounding neighborhoods but that's where I see what's missing is the two major gorillas don't talk to each other. Thanks. Yeah. So can we before neighborhood representatives this is this is going to be is this an ad hoc committee moving forward I don't know what structure is going to take. Can we just assume that it's interested citizens apply via our applications comes to council and we appoint for. Yeah I'd say a part four but don't limit them to one from each. Right right right that's what I'm saying yeah. I mean I at some point I think we need to make that call though I am I'm just going to tell you I'm totally fine with town and gown being for the university of South Carolina I can say that and then we figure out what we do for talent pipeline retention I don't know if that's really a part. No I think that's looking looking back now I think it is a sub committee but I think in the application process you let that resident tell you know if they don't live around the university of South Carolina they live somewhere else let them you know state their case as to what they can contribute. And I think this is kind of where Howard and I are agreeing but not agreeing let USC residents citizens and students and representatives they should honestly let them weigh in on their own issues which is maybe more extreme than what you're saying because Allen and Benedict honestly they don't want to weigh in on your issues because you know they want to deal with their own issues so we're kind of saying the same thing but however y'all can structure that but do you see what I'm saying like we may want to they may want to know just so they can see how you're handling things but I think you know y'all vote y'all that sector that is being impacted folks on that issue. I would take out the five city representatives as voting members send them back to the drawing board and let them talk with Town and Gale International and see how other cities have got them structured and see if you can find a city that's got multiple universities I mean Clemson hadn't got room before one. Well so one quick question it was the goal to increase communication between residents and the school or the school and the city of three I don't know if I would take the city reps off. Just saying don't let them vote they're still on the committee and they're still participating. That's giving our staff five votes. No power. Essentially the only thing that this committee is bringing forward is recommendation that's what we're voting. So it would have to go through the other silos to get by in so. I think we have enough to talk to ITGA and bring back a follow-up recommendation. Okay thank you all so much. Any other questions? All right so we're going to move very quickly to the mobile market update. Thank you all so much. And and Jim thank you for staying under the time limit. We're going to move. So no one told me we had a meeting. I'm sorry. Okay. Who was another meeting? And then the ED and I. Okay. So we're okay. Right now. So what's going on right now? Okay. I thank you. I didn't know. I'm sorry my apologies to you all need to go to that meeting. You too invited to that meeting? I wasn't invited. All right. And no one told me. So I'm sorry I didn't know. But we're going to move it along. I'm going to start. Ms. Ayesha Driggers is going to give us the update on the mobile market and we're going to get to meet the wonderful folks who are going to be who were awarded the contract. I'm super excited and I'm super excited because someone told me last night that they also have. They showed me pictures of this grocery store downtown that was really cute. And I felt like I knew something that other people didn't know. So I really got excited. So I'm going to turn it over to Ms. Driggers. Yes. So I came before you a couple months ago to announce the selection and the board for our Food and Security Solutions Initiative to Tom's Creek. And I do have Shana Kato. It looks like she's about this. Okay. She's about to leave. Yes. So I appreciate the food policy committee and all their input they provided for this process. And they've continued to be great partners. Also thank you to procurement for helping us get to this point. So we promised at that meeting that we would come before you again to introduce the selected vendor. So Larry from Tom's Creek family farms is just going to share some information about the business and then their steps moving forward. We're very excited to award this contract to Tom's Creek. Thank you. A couple of things. I'm Larry from your company family farms. We have a 200 acre farm out in Hopkins. We started at 2017. We have seven big high tunnels. We grow 365 days a year. We just invested $2 million in the city of Columbia in our store. Ma'am. Say that a little bit louder and directly directly into the microphone. So we purchased the property at 912 Lady Street unit 100 for $1.2 million and we have invested almost $700,000 into the grocery store. She has been there. She saw. She has been there twice. It is where the city studio seller was. We actually purchased the basement in 2015 and that's where Columbia farms started. Original chicken hatchery was there. The building's 125 years old. It was actually Hanson feed and seed. It started as Kirkland feed and seed. And then it went to Hanson. So we actually brought it back to pretty much the original of what it was. Where we have other farmers coming in. My first farmer was in Thursday. Local farmer bringing stuff in. It's not just going to be Tom's Creek. But we're here to talk about the market. Yes. The mobile market. And it will work with the store. That's downtown too. They're going to work together. The trailer has been ordered. Here we have. The trailer was ordered. I tried to source it locally and I could not because of the customization of it. It actually has to come out of North Carolina. This is an example. This is an example. Yes. So Kroger started this project about four years ago. The grocery store. And they did four pilot programs. I think those four pilot programs in Boston and Cincinnati. It worked. We're going to bring the grocery store to the community. So I think basically set up. We don't have dairy. We don't have a freezer. We don't have a refrigerator. Farm fresh produce. More than the grocery store staple items. We don't have meat. Cheese is milk. South Carolina milk. That's inside. The meat is inside the trailer. It's right in that. That's the stuff. The layout. So we actually changed it a little bit. The back will be a drop down ramp. You're literally going to come in. But this is going to be an awning on the outside. And I'm actually putting an awning on this side with another door. Because some of the locations that we are working on. It's a little tight to get. My truck in trailer is almost 60 foot long. So I'm going to make it so we don't have to position it exactly. I'm going to make it so they can either enter out of the right or enter out of the right or outside of the left. So we can pull in pretty much anywhere. And we'll have an awning on both sides. And we'll have outdoor set up. It'll be completely handicap accessible. We're working with other stuff too. I have I have a very good relationship with DSS on the Healthy Bucks program. From scheduling issues possibly. But they are going to come out to wherever we set up a couple of times. And they are going to present Healthy Bucks, SNAP benefits, everything to the community. Give away some free merchandise and all that stuff. We've I do Soda City. I've been doing Soda City Farmers Market for almost five years. I have a good relationship with one of the doctors at Oledo Penetration Office which is in one of the zip codes that we're targeting. They're willing to come out and do free child health checks. Something like that. We also worked, my father-in-law is the did they get a copy of this? No. My father-in-law is Dr. Jusette Hickman from the University of South Carolina. He is in AI health care technology. He's healthcare. He was a team of researchers of masters students. They want to come out and do some healthy eating studies. And I like that too because one of the things that that is going to be real is just because you have healthy food to offer. We also have to make sure that that folks have the appetite for the healthy food and trying to navigate those waters. But I also will say presentation is a whole lot. And I think that the presentation I mean folks are just going to come in just because they're nosy. Even if you know I mean honestly I think because it's so the concept it looks so good. There is an example too. I mean we're getting 250 to 300 people foot traffic in our store. Which is a walking district in the Vesta. Yeah. Well I think that's pretty cool. How many days will you be mobileing? It is three days a week or it's an 18 month program. We propose to do two sites a day. Now that is just going to be a trial thing. Depending on which we we don't know how what locations are going to work. Right. I'm working with her with her and parts and regulations. Yeah parts and recreation is going to help us identify sites and in coordination with some of the events that they have that have seniors coming on site. So we'll coordinate that schedule with them. Yeah. I was working with a couple of the assistant facilities. I did them before. I set up in the dining room. I pulled my trailer in set up in the dining room. They could come down. They did. Larry do you have a schnee burger on your menu? That's his name. There was a question before I think Houseman Brennan asked about prepared foods. We did say you can't utilize a belief snap benefits. Yes. For the prepared foods at the store at the store that we built. Well let me go on back to that question but there will be prepared foods on the but on the mark in the market. Okay. To the next step. Like sandwiches? No it would be probably more heat and serve taking baked stuff. I got you. That would feed a family of four. Stuff that I could do. I like it. I like it. Does anybody have any questions? I'm really really excited. That's going to be a great person. When will it be operational? Yeah. Well we end of the year but then we decided I really don't want to launch a holiday time. Good idea. Yeah mid-January. With the customization of the trailer they needed an extra two weeks from what we considered. And I want to get after the holidays. Yeah. I don't want to it's too you'll be too kind of craziness. Thanksgiving, holiday, Christmas, new year. And the good thing about having a mobile market is people don't spend money in January but they have to eat. Yeah. So they're going to continue to buy groceries. As of right now we're going to look, it will be built by the mid-January. Mid-Summer. I'll have it done. Ready to go. Well we're so glad to have you here. Miss, Miss, you're not here. Miss Cato, we've been talking about this for a long time. So I know we're really happy to that we were able to get this to here. Thank you Miss C. Thank you Aisha. And we're looking forward to anything we can do to help you out there. Thank you. Thank you. Well, Mr. Friend is very excited about your new grocery store downtown. You guys need to come down and see it. Yeah. What kind of these are? What's the last one? The grocery store. Thank you. Thank you. No, we're not heading for the grocery store. Um, it's like a It's like a I've been trying to start buying in and out. Is the Ryan had to go to the meeting across the street? Across the street. Possibly. But Kelly's here and Oh, come on up Kelly. I'm right here. So yeah, I think we can go over it. Okay. Well, that's fine. So the next thing on the agenda and hopefully we can do it by over 10 minutes and if we need to come back that's fine too. No, I'm a stinkler. But this is the business license incentive for grocery stores. Um, and as you all remember the mobile market is something that we thought would be a great temporary solution until you know, we can get some more grocery stores, physical grocery stores insert some of these areas and Greenville had implemented a business license incentive program that covered a whole bunch of stuff like they were looking at all of the markets that I think that they thought they needed. So staff has looked at Greenville's ordinance and made some recommendations and Miss Kelly, what's your last name? Smith. Miss Smith, can you take us through the recommendations that you all have? Absolutely. So in looking at Greenville's excuse me, sorry, in looking at Greenville's incentive program they had it defined as a retail grocery store. They specified the NAICS code on that just to make sure it's clear for applicants. We did the same in ours. We also went with speaking with Christa's team from planning and development in establish the business area and the boundaries and we have listed here the different corridors. I don't know if Christa wants to speak on that at all. Did we run this five useful policy council too? We haven't shared that but we will. Okay. Just make sure they get up because they're the ones that did all the at least all that research. All the research data stuff. Yeah, just make sure they okay. We also looked at qualifying business meaning it would have to be zoned for that use in that area. We looked at retail business and defined it similarly to what Greenville had in terms of selling food for retail for home preparation and consumption fruit and vegetable markets retail bakery specialty food products just to make sure again to keep it defined. There's so that there's no ambiguity there. Special emphasis on neighborhoods that had those food deserts that you had mentioned before which would fall into those corridors that were established by planning and development. We looked at it being an application process and approval process not certain on who I would assume that it would be a committee such as you guys to review that review the applications or OBO OBO would review them excuse me and make the approval which would then prompt us at business licensing to kick off the the reimbursement. We created another compliance thing that y'all have to look at. But I'm glad we have it. We established that it would be for newly established and qualifying businesses. We are we set out here that it would be one time for location 100 percent of the business license tax. So you'd get one year back. Correct. Looking at Greenville's they do they do five years. So they do five years max total. And they would be able to get that rebate for the five years. We just went with the one year. But I don't think that's a real incentive. So I would look at something definitely more than five. But the helping establish buildings. I'm sorry. Grocery stores stay was also real critical. So we do need to keep that because the only reason we're here is because we did have grocery stores that chose not to stay. So I think that's a critical factor. You want to look at more than five or more than one year? I mean more than one year. I'd like to add Blue Street and up there with Colonial Drive. Colonial Drive and Bull Street. Make sure that the park is covered. They already got somebody coming. But okay. What else? But because it's still they're always going to have a grocery store that's going to come. Let's I really do want to make sure we check with the food policy council. Because it's based on where we need to attract. And I'm open to considering others. But I want to make sure we got that part covered where the need to attract is and where we're worried about grocery stores leaving. Because Bull Street may have three real quick with or without an incentive. Without an incentive. But we have some of them that may not come. I mean like it may make a difference. What do you think Will? Am I being are we which one of us is way way off? Well I think I think we just need to add to I guess the incentive package. It's great that we're doing this. But at the end of the day what's what's the bait? I mean if I'm if I'm if I'm hearing you this is just for newly established stores. So let's just say it's a smaller yeah right so newly established. Let's say it's an adaptive reuse of an old building. They turn it in. Think about tax fees if they have to you know bring in bigger water lines. Stormwater fees just stuff like that. That you know make it some more. Yeah that that we as a water utility right might be able to to work with them on. I think I think that's that's the big driving number getting up and running. And a lot of times you know if if they're going to have a I guess a prepared foods component we put we charge for grease traps or whatever we need to work with them on the grease grease trap program stuff like that. I think just a more holistic approach to to what we can really drive with our with our tap fees and impact fees. Hell I mean I'm good with waving them all because we're only only talking about possibly you know half dozen to a dozen because the market's going to find real these these these. Yeah it's not like we're going to get infiltrated. And it would have to be a rebate not a waiver. I'm completely fine with that. Yeah yeah so no no I am a total agreement because you know we wanted to look appealing to really bring folks in. And then I also too want to make sure that we make sure we keep the part that was removed for the existing businesses that are about to go because and I think we did that before Jeff told us that the fees were was it twenty five thousand was the average nine thousand and twenty two thousand. Yeah so it's not a big huge loss of money either. Right but if that's sustainable over five seven ten years that that's going to push somebody who's on the fence about whether to do this or not. I think that can make a big change. And I hear you saying five seven or ten years as opposed to one. I think we need to that's a rebate that's a rebate yeah we need to look at what programs we already have in place for grease traps and water taps and things like that. It might be we just need to get a little bit of package of what we already have to share. Yeah. Specifically for these. Yeah. So just for my clarity are we we going to add what we would necessarily need to add to me that's more marketing. The ones that we did earlier with business friendly would those be sufficient to add. Well I think this is if we're talking a rebate of full tap fees and storm I mean that's that's a more that's a deeper doubt. Yeah it's not we did. Okay. Yeah we'll take us I didn't know if we needed a second look so we do need to look at that separately again. Okay. And Greenville had in theirs a 50 percent for existing qualified businesses. I don't know if that would be something you guys were interested in. 50 percent for what? 50 percent of the rebate for their business license taxes. I'd go the 100 percent. Because again I think we're only talking for existing I've done our already established in market newly established but that's that's what she was they hit a 50 percent side car rebate for the existing people. Okay. Yeah two different areas and this is what I'll say too because again as far as I'm concerned you're only as far as the rebate particularly for existing businesses we're only looking at the scarce areas is only three or four grocery stores. You know so I'm always looking at the cumulative effect but I mean it's not like we're talking about potentially 30 grocery stores and losing the funds but right now they're they're just not in those particular areas that makes some kind of way to I think we need to clarify and message that upfront then because what what will happen is is somebody not within the designated project area will why them and not us and we have a critical community need that we're trying to address with this so I think we just want to be kind of upfront and clear about that so we don't catch flak. Yeah and it took the easiest way I think is to make it consistent with whatever we've outlined with the food policy council as the critical need areas because then you can say the food policy council and can we say five years because y'all always have the option of it standing later if yes I've come through we can do five-year pilot that's how we deal with the cdb five-year pilot see see if it works if you may find out we make no five years maybe the one that's said before would main street include north main street it would but we were also thinking downtown I mean it'd be great to have a grocery store downtown so we we included main street deliberately okay well so now that's going like Howard's way of throwing in not throwing in but just adding what we want it gets away from but anyway that's on just make sure all my stuff in it I mean I'm just being very honest make sure that we are addressing the food and security issues in the yafa chest is that fair okay I can live with that main from the capital to 20 yeah yeah and Aisha can court just connect the food policy committee yeah make sure we don't leave anything out yeah this is great um and if whenever y'all get the updated draft if you could just email it to us we don't need to meet we'll go over it again is that fair so it's great thank you I'm sorry we did go it looks like we went over about 15 minutes because we started in 1117 once it's updated and we reviewed it is that correct I don't think we need to come back to another committee meeting or do you refer to you Madam Chair I don't think we need to come back for another committee meeting but give us enough time to review it email it to us before it even considers a council agenda you have any other technical questions from Ms. Hammond to make sure we're doing this thing right all right I said the last just is there a motion for us to adjourn this very productive meeting that was fun today we adjourned thank you

I don't gamble, but a friend of mine tells me if you bet on a winning trifecta, you win big. Well, every now and then when you talk classics, you have to win big with this trifecta from Red Wing. The Iron Ranger, the Blacksmith, and the classic Mokto. Stick around and I'll tell you about them. Welcome back to my channel Bootlossophy, and if you're new here, my name is Tech. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands I live and work on here in Perth in Western Australia, the Wajik people. Now these three boots are classic Red Wing models, and beyond that, they're classic Americana heritage style boots. This is the Iron Ranger in Amber Harness Leather, the Blacksmith in Copper Ruffin Tough, and the classic Mokto in the Oro Legacy. But before I go on, I want to remind you to click on the subscribe below. Now nearly 60% of my returning viewers are not subscribed. Come on, you know who you are. I'll see you. Look, if you keep coming back, you might as well click on subscribe. Do it. Okay, back to Red Wing. Red Wing Shoes is an iconic American footwear company that has a rich history dating back over a century. The company was founded in 1905 in Red Wing, Minnesota, by Charles Beckman. It was built by Beckman as a response to the demand for sturdy and reliable work boots for local industries such as mining, logging and farming. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high quality durable boots that could withstand the harshest conditions, making them a favorite among workers and outdoor enthusiasts. In World War I and World War II, Red Wing Shoes played a crucial role in providing boots to American soldiers, earning them further recognition for their commitment to quality and performance. As the years passed, the company continued to innovate, introducing new technologies and materials to enhance the comfort and safety of their footwear. But in their heritage range, classics like the Oro Legacy Mokto with its distinctive orange leather and white rubber wedge sole has remained largely unchanged and has become a symbol of timeless style and craftsmanship. Today Red Wing Shoes is a globally recognized brand with a diverse range of products, including not only work boots, but also casual and dress shoes and of course what we're interested in on this channel, the Heritage Line. The commitment to crafting footwear that is both functional and fashionable has earned them a devoted following worldwide. Despite the company's growth and expansion, Red Wing Shoes still maintains its headquarters in Red Wing, Minnesota and continues to be a symbol of American manufacturing and heritage. The company's dedication to quality and tradition has solidified its status as an enduring American footwear brand. All their heritage boots use sturdy traditional construction methods, not least of all their reliance on oil tanned leather, tanned by their subsidiary tanning company, SB Foot Tanning, and their use of the Goodyear welt form of construction. If you want to dive into the details of how Goodyear welt construction works, you can check out my video on Goodyear welting up here. While they have a few worthy models in their heritage line, I don't think it can be denied that out of all of them and out of any of their workwear Red Setter range, these three stand out as classics amongst the classics. So I'll go through each of these in turn. This is Red Wing's plant the flag on the mountain product, the iconic iron ranger. It was first introduced in the 1930s, originally designed for the miners digging iron or in the mines of the Masabi Iron Range in Minnesota. Over the years it has evolved and designed, especially during the 2000s, when it was picked up in Japan during that first onset of the Amakaji style trend over there. This model is the 8111 in amber harness oil tanned leather. They are made and given different number designations in five different leathers, but this pull up oil tanned amber harness is the iconic iron ranger. It is iconic in other ways. I always maintain that if you ask the child to draw a boot, this is what they would draw. Low heeled, 6 inches high, cat-toed and slightly clown shoe like with its bulbous toe box. This is an older model made in 2015. It has the original nitrile cork made from rubber and infused with cork for grip. Comfortable enough as the design evolved since 2017 though it has had a Vibram mini lug sole for better grip. The iron ranger is 270 degree Goodyear welted, meaning that the welt goes 3 quarters of the way around the front of the boot and the heel portion is glued and nailed and stitched inside. This creates a sleeker line without a jutting out heel portion at the back. The sole construction uses leather midsole and insole and a cork filling in between into which is sandwiched a steel shank. The uppers, oil-tanned pull-up from SB foot has a strong pull-up as you stress the leather on the inside. It starts firm but with use and conditioning it is extremely supple while remaining supportive. The quarters and single piece backstay are attached using the famous Redwing Puritan triple stitch. The Puritan machine used to put all three stitches in at the same time is so old that Redwing maintained their own trained crew to keep the machines going. The Puritan machine pulls the thread through a reservoir of wax as it stitches so that not only are all three stitches done at the same time, they are stitched with freshly waxed thread. The toe cap is a real toe cap, meaning that the toe cap is a piece of leather attached and stitched on top of the toe portion of a full vent. This is the original safety toe. Other toe cap boots often have a false toe cap, meaning that the toe cap piece is sewn on to the end of a cut-off vamp piece. The hardware is an unmistakable shiny nickel, four eyelets and three speed hooks. The tongue is semi-gusseted up to the last eyelet. Once broken in which can be a bit of a nightmare for some people, it is extremely comfortable to wear. It is generally half a size down from your true size as measured on a branded device and Redwing offer the Iron Ranger in US sizes 6 to 14 with some half sizes thrown in and an average D width as well as a wide E width. This is the model 3343 blacksmith in copper rough and tough. The SB foot rough and tough range is another oil tan full grain leather that is more impervious to hard knocks and scrapes. It is hot stuffed with oils and waxes after chrome tanning and has a rugged and textured matte surface giving it a rough weathered look. Over time the leather develops a beautiful patina full of character. This blacksmith in copper rough and tough started life a little more copper coloured and in time and with conditioning has mellowed into this deep tan. The blacksmith has many similarities with the Iron Ranger but with a few marked differences Now first of all it is also a work boot come service boot. I've always said that in reality there's very little difference between an old time work boot and a service boot except by definition. In this case the blacksmith was designed as a work boot even earlier than the Iron Ranger in the 1920s when Redwing recognised the demand for robust and reliable boots for local laborious tasks such as metalworking and blacksmithing and so the blacksmith shoe was born. In time it became the blacksmith boot. It's also a six inch boot low block heel also 270 degree good you voted and also has a slightly bumped toe. That's no wonder really because it's built on the same number eight last at the Iron Ranger is built on and also like the Iron Ranger the shaft is unlined but the vamp is lined with canvas. This one is a 2021 makeup and so you can see the newer Vibram mini lug sole. Vibram is an Italian sole manufacturer with a history going back to the 1930s that you will see paired with many makers boots. The 430 model mini lug sole is designed to provide better grip with these flattened commando style lugs but also retain a lower profile so that it can be worn more casually without looking like you're about to parotute in and raid Moscow. Then comes the differences most obviously the blacksmith is a plain toe boot. Interesting I assume blacksmiths had less call than miners to crawl in their knees thus wearing out the the leather on the toe boxes. While there's a puritan triple stitch at the quarters the blacksmith has a single piece backstay that does not run around the heel. The heel counter is internal whereas the Iron Ranger heel counter is external between the uppers and the backstay. The stitching at the heel stitches the internal rough out heel pocket inside the boot which keeps the heel counter in place. The hardware while in the same configuration of four eyelets and three speed hooks is an antique brass. The tongue is also semi-gusseted also up to the last eyelet. At the top of the collar there's a piece of rolled leather to finish it off whereas the Iron Ranger just has to cut leather. The other obvious difference is the straight across level of the collar. On the Iron Ranger it's cut to slope forward from back to front. I'm not sure if this is a stylistic design or cut that way to make it more comfortable for miners to kneel. The blacksmith also sizes a half down from true and Redwing offers them in only three levers from sizes 7 to 13 with only a few half sizes in there and in only the average D width. I'll leave a link to the Heritage website for you to check their site availability. They wear just as comfortable as the Iron Rangers and reported to be less tough to break in potentially I think because of the more supple out of the box rough and tough leathers. And so we come to the classic 875 mocktoe. The mocktoe boot design was originally inspired by real moccasin shoes made by Native Americans and featuring a single piece of leather wrapped under the foot and then sewn onto the vamp piece showing that distinctive seam running around the apron of the toes. In the 1950s Redwing launched the 877 model then called an Irish setter very similar to this except it was an 8 inch high boot. It was originally launched to serve the needs of hunters and miners and then later this 875 model was launched as comfortable work boots with the flat wedge soles offering comfort but also the ability not to track dirt as they came indoors from outdoors thus catching on with building construction crews especially in the finishing trades. This 6-inch 875 has become a classic with Hollywood stars including them in their wardrobes and being fought over by American manual laborers who claim them and non manual workers who wear them as comfortable casual shoes. At the bottom is basically a flat traction tread outsole made of rubber and very comfortable but also prone to wear down quite quickly. It uses a 360 degree Goodyear welt construction where the welt goes all the way around the boot causing more of a platform raft effect in the heel area. The midsole is rubber so that the rubber outsole has a good attachment to it but the insole is leather. Inside the boot the shaft is unlined but the vamp is lined with leather. The uppers are also from SP foot in this case this is the Oro Legacy leather originally unpigmented its natural orange leather color is now touched up with a light layer of pigment that tones down the natural orange undertones. This means that the grain and imperfections of the animal hide can be seen just under the surface pigment and as with all of redwing leathers it starts firm but then becomes supple and flexible once broken in. As a result breaking these in can also be a nightmarish week. However once broken in the rubber wage sole the leather insole and cork filling and the eventual suppleness of the leather makes this a comfortable work and casual boot. In the uppers this is a real mock-toe stitch in that it stitches the two pieces of leather at the top of the vamp and around the foot together with the mock-toe stitch. Some mock-toes like the Theragut classic mock-toe have a fake mock-toe stitch they stitch to pucker the one piece of leather at that seam rather than attach two pieces of leather together. Once again the quarters are attached using the Puritan triple stitch. There is a double stitch single piece backstay with an internal heel counter stitched in underneath a suede or rough out heel cup on the inside. The top of the collar has a rolled leather piece to finish it off and the 875 uses all nickel eyelets with the tongue gusseted up to the second top most eyelet. Conditioning this is easy with Redwing's own boot cream or you can use big four Venetian shoe cream or a balm like smiths. Sizing is also a half down from true at least on my feet but because of the roomy high wall mock-toe some people have told me that they take a whole size down. I am skeptical because while the volume in the toe box is high that can't make a difference with the length in that it might be too small the size. For me in my sizing a half down from true while I do have volume above my toes my toes are only a thumbs width away from the front so I don't know I'd have any room in the length if I went down another half. I have worn these as casual boots and also as light work boots. I went up repairing the sheets up on my roof for example and digging and crawling around in my backyard as well as putting up a pagola. They are very comfortable as both casual and work boots. So there you are a quick look at three classic designs of the classic American Redwing brand. Redwings sell from their website so I'll leave a link below but they also have either branded stores or retail partners in most places around the world. The Iron Ranger sells for about 350 US. The Blacksmith about 330 and the 875 mock-toe for about 310. In Australia they sell for between 580 to 600 Aussie dollars maybe about five dollars less than 600. Being built sturdy and dare I say very fashionable the value is plain to see when compared with fashion brands or other less classic and more fashion forward boots. Hey if you like my quick review click on the like button below I really would appreciate that and if you haven't subscribed yet it would be great if you click on subscribe as well I really would appreciate that. It helps YouTube remind you when I put up new videos and also pushes the videos out to more people so that they can enjoy them and it supports me to run this channel and defray some costs. Go on then. I think my next video is going to be about the Vibex service boot or it might be a quick comparison of some classic American boots like the old and indie the Wolverine Thousand Mile maybe the Ellen Edmonds Higgins Mill and one of these. Until then take care and I'll see you then. Okay camera focusing me I'm over here all about me.

Hi guys, welcome back to this channel. If you know here, please consider subscribing to this channel. Don't forget to subscribe to this channel. If you know here, consider subscribing. By the way, don't forget to press the notification bell or the bell icon that will enable you to be updated whenever I upload or I get to upload any video. In today's video, I got a question from one of the subscribers and it was concerning about the panel. Actually, the question was, I'm coming as a security guard very new. Please, can you help me how I heard of the fire alarm panel? How do you go with the fire alarm panel? I got so concerned about the question. Yes, we need to help one another. We need to help one another to grow, to understand especially for the new people coming. What we call security, security jobs in the Gulf countries. It may not be here, it may be Bahrain, it may be Saudi Arabia, it may be Dubai or it may be also in Qatar. But remember, as a security guard, some of the skills you get to learn will be how better you can take care of the fire alarm. Do you know the fire alarm? Yes. That is the question and that is what you expect to know. Remember, I told you, some companies do not give what we call on job training and they require you being recruited from your country to know some of this kind of tactical, to know some of these small basics that you can learn. But remember, all things we may not learn them by training, but also we may learn them by seeing or even the colleague I work with him may be a little bit better than me. So I get to learn. In today's video, I want us to try to see. I know most of you. You might be deployed or in a location where you are only one security guard. You need to take care of the fire alarm panel. But things get off worse one day or some time. You don't know what to do and your employer expects you to know. So what do you do? What do you have to do? So in today's video, I want us to learn some of these more simple basics of the fire alarm panel. Trust me, by the end of this video, you must be able to grasp something and know something that is going to help you. In case you go to another area to work or in case you go to an interview and they ask you about the panel, about the fire alarm panel, you will be able to know. By the way, don't turn into this video until the end as we try to see. We try to learn a little bit of what you call the fire alarm panel. Remember, in the Gulf countries, most of these buildings you get to work to, most of those buildings you get to work to, they have fire alarm panels. There is so much sense with fire. And this as a security guard, by the fact that you are from a new country, you need security, they expect you also to know this. So by the way, share this video to friends, friends, put a comment in the comments section and I will be able to get back to you as we get to learn to some of these basics that we need to know. Don't forget by the way to subscribe to this channel. Let's go straight into the video and see what is the fire alarm panel. How does it work? What can you do in case there is fire? Then what are your roles as a security guard when the fire alarm panel is activated? By the way, this will depend on the instructions from either your supervisors or your building management you are working or even your employer himself depending on the contract he has. Right, let's go straight into the video. Hi guys, right now we in front we have what you call a fire alarm panel. I know most of you have seen this fire alarm panel in buildings where you work or it can be in hotels. In most of the buildings you've seen the fire alarm panel because I told you this in the Gulf countries there's so much sensitive with fire like anything else. So you've seen such kind of things it's called a fire alarm panel and this is exactly how the panel looks like and this is what the panel has. Remember it may not be the same type of panel in your building but the different types of panel. First of all what you need to understand what is a fire alarm control system. Remember a fire alarm control system is a system that is warning people when smoke, fire, carbon dioxide or other fire related emergencies are detected and this may be activated automatically because when you look at the fire alarm itself the fire alarm panel is connected to a number of systems a number of activations activations devices that will alert the building or will alert the person that is something that is wrong in any particular room, in any particular corridor or even in a particular place that is adjusting or that is in the building because it has what we call detection devices that are being attached to it. Remember when we are talking about a fire alarm control panel it's just a conventional alarm control panel which employs more than one or more circuits connected and these circuits that are connected together they ignite what we call the devices are usually smoke detectors most of you have seen smoke detectors that when something is wrong then definitely this will definitely trigger it off and it will make an alarm that everyone will get to know that something is not right at one moment of time and someone may ask me a question that what is a fire alarm control system what are the components remember when we are talking about components of fire alarm systems we are looking at initiation devices and such initiation devices that we may talk about we may talk about what you call the pool stations most of you have seen the pool stations in the buildings smoke detectors we talk about the heat detectors by the way there is a difference between a smoke detector and a heat detector when we are talking about a smoke detector it just detects the fum of the smoke and it will automatically activate when the particles of the molecules of the smoke move into that device then it will activate to show to alert the building that something that is not right and when you look at the heat detectors this only will detect the rise the rise and the rate of temperature remember they are fixed at a given temperature so when the heat the temperature of that heat goes beyond then probably that one will be activated and mostly of those heat detectors I think we have seen them being put in what we call the kitchens where this or is cooking fire or cooking spark that comes out of the time at a bit of it all remember when we talk about the components we are looking at the smoke detectors we look at the heat detectors we look at the manual call points what you call the manual call points we have this one announcement page we have the module phone here pager most of you have not seen that but you know we talk about notification appliances the notification appliances we have very many notification appliances we shall go through them what you call the notification appliances we also have what we call the fire sprinkler system the fire sprinkler system goes up and they will give out they will pop up in case of any fire that is being detected at a given temperature they will raise up and they will begin releasing water that is filled up with the to try to turn of the building we have what you call switches flow control switches we have isolated standard switches and modern module at a time so that is a little bit we can know but remember still something that you need to know for your own information these alarms the fire alarm panels are in different forms we have the different styles we have the coded we have the coded panels we have the conventional panels we have the addressable panels then we have what we call the madplex fire system that is for your basic information but in today's video we want to see what is a fire panel what is a fire alarm panel and what does it do what can you see if there is a kind of detection of fire what is going to happen at a given time so this is what we call the fire alarm panel this is what we call the fire alarm panel remember it has different buttons we have the power we have the test bason we have the CPU fade depending on which panel you have in that building then we have what we call the disabled then we have what we call the reset the alarm silence then what we call the drill that screen that you see is like a mobile it's called a display screen and down you'll have what you call an alarm button you'll have a supervisory button you'll have a trouble then you'll have to do what you call a monitor panel this is a trouble you see where it's a little bit breaking it will show you if there's any bit of trouble then it will give up the light it will turn to light then you also have CDs like mobile phone you'll have where you have the previous where you can try to go back and see where the fire alarm was in which particular area location and in case you missed out then we have the details the text messages then we also have the command what we call the command menus then these are levels we have the levels per clamp of the levels we have the P1 depending which area when the alarm sounds it will definitely tell you exactly where that alarm is in the actual location then we go down here we have the announcement or the pager we call it the announcement or the pager column where we have this announcer in case there is real fire what you need to do you need to page you need to date the old building because you are not going to move to each and every floor to announce but you will get a pager you will place in the pager and you make a call and that pager call will be an announcement that will be made by the message will flow from one building to from one level to another level that will enable people to evacuate in one moment of time still under the pager what you call the caller system and this is what you call a modular caller in case there is fire and you need to go up the floor you can still receive from here and communicate with the person who is up I will show you those other points when we go up to the floor where you will communicate and you can communicate with the fire fire fire detection what you call the fire civil defense in any way or if you have to have a communication apart from the pager to alert residents you can also have this modular caller that you can use to have a communication with someone with A that may be on a 7th floor or 10th floor depending on what and it also has what you call the display remember these are kind of these are kind of systems that will run with the system that in case of anything when they need to rectify this is they will get the information and this down here we have what you call the sound calls these are called the sound calls these are called the sound calls of the panels and if we go here you see still we have to see what you call the sound call these are sound call boxes and these are all if CP-3 and these are all sound boxes these are what called battery panels the battery panels for the sound cards if all know here and this is what we call the alarm power supply this is called the alarm power supply and this is exactly that I want to show you and some of you we are looking at what you need to do when there is a fire alarm remember the standard operation procedure in responding an alarm one in case there is a fire alarm detection in the panel when there is a fire alarm detection in the panel this one is going to show right over here or right over here it's going to turn red meaning if it turns red here the fire alarm is on there is a fire alarm in the building depending on which level and here right through here this is the display it will tell you there is a fire alarm in floor 2 or in room number 2 or even in the bedroom it will actually give you the location of the area why? because each room you may find it gives you that address as according to what you call that detector that is in that area that it may be a smoke detector or it may be a heat detector at that time so when there is an alarm it will come and it will appear red here showing there is an alarm what you need to do first of all what you need to do is you will have to silence you will have to silence the alarm you will have to silence here the alarm you press the silence button then the alarm will silence meaning that the homes what we call the home the sounds homes in each floor or in any area that is being activated world stop alarm old stop making that sound at that time so after you alarm silence after you alarm silence you will then come back and do what you call the panel silence when you do the panel silence after you do the panel silence you will have to move you will have to you will have to to press the alarm you will press what you call the alarm then you will actually find out exactly area or the person one person will have to go up to the location which is being displayed here when that location is being displayed you go and found out exactly in that location what is the problem or what has caused the alarm to be activated in that area so what will happen is that after that and detecting the exact location and you finding out exactly what is the immediate check what is the immediate problem or is it real fire detection if it is not real fire detection if it is a false alarm if in case it is a real fire you need to activate the nearest manual call point or what you call the call immediate panel call operator or instruction or press what you call the drill button so that is where I told you that normally the communication comes between here that in case it is real fire you will communicate with the person that is on the floor using this call module and when you call this call module you will get that information you will have that information when it is real fire or when it is real fire then you have to activate what you call the drill button this is what you call the drill button when you activate this drill button what it means is that the whole building the whole horns will begin sounding on the floor meaning that will be alerting people to evacuate of the building to evacuate to the nearest exit to the nearest exit other than using the elevators because they will also all be stuck down to the ground that no one can use them so they will have to realize emergence exits or nearest evacuation we call them the evacuations exits at one time of the time but if it is false alarm if it is false alarm then what you can do the person in charge the person in charge of that place he can do what he can do silence, he can reset the alarm back to normal and he can reset back the elevators because by that time when there is an alarm remember all the elevators will be put down to will come down on the ground floor that means they will be out of use at that time and the only elevators you can be accessing those are what we call the manual service lift elevator and the ambulance elevator those are service elevators that you can use at that time so that's what you need to do and in case it is real fire then and this need to evacuate then you will use what you call the pager we will use what you call the pager when you press in here you press ready to the pager and when you press the pager when you press the pager it will tell you all call calls minus phone page evacuation alert so if you are to alert people that is a false alarm then you will press all call when you press all call here then the whole call will go to all floors and it will alert all people that it is a false alarm they should not panic and say in one position but remember if there is need to evacuate then you will press what you call the evacuation button and after you have pressing the evacuation button then probably it will also alert people and it will let them know that that they need to evacuate and they use what you call the next or the nearest evacuation points as you've been told about the evacuation procedures of what to do or what you need to do during the evacuation process so I think that is what you need to do so the most important point is for you to know how to pano silence in case of anything you do not reset the alarm unless you find out the exact location or what is the problem in that area of the alarm and that's when you first find out the location, you go to the location then you definitely need to fight out and find out and do that but remember that in the event of activation of the fire alarm in the building when there is real fire what you need to do with the announcer, the pager you need to announce 3 times mostly what you do, you need to announce 3 times you can say ladies and gentlemen your attention please the fire alarm has been activated in the building we are investigating the situation please remain calm, thank you that is a very good message it can flow to all flow and people will stay calm some may be disabled some may be small children to make that alarm very fast so that people don't live out of panic at one moment of time but remember that is one course of the event but remember also there is another situation where in the event where people need to evacuate from the building you also need to announce 3 times you can say ladies and gentlemen your attention please there is exist an emergency situation in the building please evacuate by the nearest exit staircase obey all instructions given by the fire warning remember to avoid use of lifts that is one you are alerting people you are alerting people to evacuate using what you call the pager remember what you use what you call the pager and this is all the information will be recorded here in what you call the pager this is a second display of the fire alarm so I think those are basics that you need to know for a security guard depending on how the instructions you are being given I think the most important thing is to know where the fire alarm is and you are reporting to your supervisor where the fire alarm is and the rest of the things I think will be done by the people or technicians that are really trained to do that but in case of an emergency you can still take up at one moment of time and then you can do you can still try to have that basic knowledge at one moment of time remember we talked about the fire alarm fire alarm silencing the pano silencing checking the area you verify the area the information of the fire alarm and the location will be displayed right in display this is called the display point so it will display in case it is on the floor it is on the second floor and you will probably be aware of that so what you need to know is you need to be very careful to know what is the exact location and what you need to do where you need to press so that you don't make a mistake in one way or the other still something I need to show you is what we call a lift supervisory pano this one is a switcher lift it will definitely show you it is a fire alarm all the elevators will come back to the ground floor all the elevators will come back to the ground floor remember all the fire alarms all the elevators will come back to the ground floor meaning that there is fire and it will definitely give you a show which flow now for example right now here you see the elevators are normal there is nothing problem if there is an emergency all the emergency lights will light on depending on which elevator at that time it will still show you or to still the lights and show you to show you that the ground floor and the fire alarm or this fire in the building they will never be working again when it is a fault it will definitely show you a particular lift that has a fault which cannot be used and if it is maintenance still it is going to show you if it is a maintenance still it is going to show you which lift is under maintenance which is L5 which is showing and if it is home someone attending or auto it will definitely all show you now right now when you see here it is showing you what you call the auto auto the on auto meaning that you can still move and get on still down here in all the lifts we have what you call the lift calls and this is definitely where you can normally operate this and trigger up it is still the same that is receiving the calls it will definitely show you which exact location or which lift or in case someone is stuck in the elevator you can still know someone inside may press that call button you can receive from here then you know someone is stuck in that lift in this period of time and needs emergency rescue at a time thank you so much for tuning in this channel we should be discovering more of these more basic things that basic knowledge that you need to have or need to know in using some of these gadgets because remember some of this time some of these trainings we are not given it at one moment of time we are not given we only deposit to locations to go and work but you need to have this basic knowledge because your employer assumes that you have a little bit of experience and you know some things if you are so lucky enough in some company you may be given a training but in some companies you may not given that training thank you so much for tuning in this channel don't forget to

Okay, we are now recording all right. Thank you Stephanie and welcome everybody to the September 15th 2023 meeting of the 10 of emmer's solar bylaw working group. Hope everybody's having a good day. And we have a lot to cover today as we're getting down to the end game, if you will. And so what we want to do is really focus on the bylaw language. We have a bit of a we have an agenda but then we also have a list of issues that we want to address in the bylaw, hopefully getting through today. And then have the opportunity to read through and work work through the entire bylaw from from the full document at as we close this out at a next meeting. But let me also just welcome attendees we have from the public. And for the record I guess there's six of them at least to start the meeting so welcome to you all. Okay. Great so what I'd like to do is work through the agenda and fairly quickly as we can. Let me also in terms of the minute taker sorry. I think Dan was teed up for today. But that's not going to be possible. Laura took them last time. I do have the person who took them. The furthest into the past at this point was Bob. So are you able to take minutes today. Yeah. I appreciate that Stephanie sent around the packet to us that included the agenda. We have minutes to approve first. Do we don't have the minutes from eight four, but we do have the minutes from nine one. Exactly. I was, I was stumbling a little bit there because I saw nine one, but not eight four. So I guess eight four still kind of being worked on a bit. I forget who drafted. I haven't received them yet. Laura, she, she's aware that she has to get them to me. Gotcha. Okay. Okay, so that'll be a bit ancient history when we review them, but we'll do that. But did people have a chance to look at the minutes from last time nine one. And do we have any comments thoughts or emotion to approve those or desire to go through them. I'll move to approve the minutes of September 1st or a second. 1st 1st 2nd. Okay. And if I can have your approval. Or not by voice vote. Please be sure to have your microphone open. Breger. Yes. Hannah. Yes. Gem sec. Yes. Brooks. Yes. McGowan. Yes. And it's approved. Great. Okay. All right. Now for staff updates, and then we'll have committee updates and then we'll get into the bylaw. So Stephanie or Chris, any updates for us? I don't have any updates at this time. Chris, any on your end beyond. No, no updates. Yeah. What's on the agenda today. Yep. Okay. Great. All right. Thank you. Yep. Yep. Okay. And then the staff updates. Martha, did you have a. Well, I noticed that first, I think is giving a review of the master plan to the. A special town council meeting on, on Monday. Is that right Chris? Might be interesting for us to listen to. That is right. It's essentially the same presentation that I gave last year. So if you, if you were there last year, you are. And you're mostly the same presentation, but everybody's welcome. Thank you. I'll just. I think next remind me Stephanie next Thursday is the block party for the town of Amherst. Sorry, yes, the 21st from 5 to 9pm. Encourage people to enjoy the town, celebrate the town. Ecac. We'll have a booth. Along with some other energy affiliated folks, but. Feel free to drop by the ecac booth and say hi. Janet. Next, or this coming next Wednesday. The planning board will get a presentation on the application by pierce guy. To build a. The solar array on the Colesland in North Amherst. And I think it's like involves. I think it's 10 acres of panels and 40 acres of forest clearing. And Chris has more to add. That's been rescheduled for October 4th. So I, I know that the minutes of. Some recent planning board minutes said it would be on September 20th, but the applicant has chosen October 4th as a better day for them. So it will be on October 4th. Okay. Okay. And then just to add, which is not quite in the context of this is I. Jake Marley had offered to do a tour of his dual use. And so I did a little emailing back and forth about what's a good date for him. And so Monday, September 25th. At 1 o'clock he's offering a tour. I think he could probably change the date or time that time, but it was hard to find time. So I think that'd be great if people came. The broccoli is growing. And we've seen pictures that and stuff like that. So that's an open invite to everybody. And I could send out like a reminder or Stephanie could before that. Okay. So. Janet, if you send me the info for everybody, I'll just make sure everyone has it. Okay. And then, you know, if, if people need a better date, I think we could chop that too, but it was hard to find dates. So. Super. Okay. Any other. Updates. Okay. So. What we did prepare for today's meeting to try to keep us. Organized and scheduled was a. A document that was in the packet, which was. Remaining topics for discussion. Would it be helpful to have that on. The screen will have other things on the screen, but basically the idea is to, to go through the. Topics, the key topics that are remaining. In a discussion today. We have some time. Frames that we want to try to stick to. So we get through this. It includes look issues on farmlands. Forest land. Battery storage, stormwater management. Construction. The section on construction. And then. And then some and hopefully get through that today. And then we can pick up. I think that would allow us then to sort of have a final. Draft that Chris has been putting together. That we can review in its entirety. At the next meeting. So have people, do people have that document available? Jack. Well, I just had a question. What's our meeting schedule for some reason? I didn't have today's on my calendar. I just want to make sure we have the next. What we'll go with this at the end of the meeting, but you brought it up. So I thought I'd ask. Well, I think part of what we want to discuss at the end. Is what is our schedule between now and October 6. You know, if we, if we continue with the every other week. That brings us to the, to the 29th. And then we have sort of that's the only remaining, that's the only remaining meeting left if we stick with every other week. I suspect I sort of inclined to think we need two meetings. And so. If we stick with the 29th, I guess there's a. Yeah, there's an issue because I'm not available to 6, I'm out of out of the. The state in California. So that wouldn't work. So. I'm not sure if we want to go through this now or. At the end. Depending on when we what we get through today. But I'd be open to trying to find time for. Another meeting in addition to the 29th. Okay, Stephanie. So we do have meetings scheduled, including October 6, we have the 20. The 22nd. Or I'm sorry, the next meeting in 2 weeks, which would be the, I'm sorry, the 29th. And the 6th, where the final 2 meetings. But obviously Dwayne, because of your schedule, the October 6th meeting sounds like we would have to reschedule. So. Officially, you do have 2. It was including the 6th. All right. Yeah. I apologize for that. I'm literally in California celebrating my son's wedding. On. And that day, I'm going to be very busy. So I have to find, find another time. Let's okay. Let's just go quickly. I didn't see the order here, but Chris. Sorry. So continuing on with the discussion of scheduling, I am going to be out of town on the 29th. I have a funeral in Ohio that I have to go to. So. Yeah. Okay. You know that. Okay. Janet. So very quickly, if Dan can't make any of these Friday meetings, I don't. We should think about, I don't know if we did this right now, but think about, I don't want to lose him as a member. So, I don't know if we need a different day or what, but I just want to, I don't think this can be ironed out right now, but I'm not sure if Dan's like. I think he has a class or something. So. And most of the day, most of the day Friday. And given that I'm, I'm not available. On the 6th and Chris is not available on the 29th. Fridays aren't looking too good. Martha. So are we going to wait and discuss this at the end, or do you want to finish it now? I guess while we're on it, I'm not opposed to finishing it now. I think we need 2 more meetings. At least. At least I like to get 2 meetings scheduled. And I'm not sure. Whether this requires a doodle poll or what's allowable Stephanie. In terms of scheduling a meeting. A doodle poll is fine. What would be helpful is if you all have some dates that you know, like we already know now that the. Next couple of Fridays are not going to work. So what would be helpful is if there are maybe a different day of the week that at least the majority of you are here. Can agree to. And then we could figure out times and I can send a doodle poll and that's perfectly acceptable. I'll send that up to the whole group. Yeah. So, so I, I strongly recommend that we start right now and schedule 2 meetings in September. Friday is the default if we can't agree on any other time. I don't think we're going to have a 20 second, but I urge you, Stephanie, if possible today to send out a notice saying we need 2 more meetings and with a doodle poll for. Those dates is that. Sure. I absolutely. Oh, Lord. So I put it in the form of a motion. Not sure if we need a motion. I think. Yeah, if Stephanie, if you're willing to do that. I just said that I was willing to do just that. So I don't think that differs from what I just said. So I'm willing to, I just need to know, but you need to have at least a, you should at least come up with. What I was suggesting is that you find a day of the week that might work for everybody because then we can break, break it down in terms of times or a few days. It seems like other than the 22nd, which we can include in the list of potential dates and times we can include Friday, the 22nd of September. But if there's other days of the week, that's what I'm asking you to maybe hone in on because it would be helpful to know like if somebody absolutely can never make Mondays or Tuesdays or Wednesdays or Thursdays. It's good to know that. Yeah. Well, maybe the members present now and hearing this could right after our meeting could could send Stephanie your schedule tell tell her a morning afternoon for each of the next days of the week. Would that be okay. Yeah, I would take Tuesdays off the list at least in September while our solar forums going on. Yes. And go ahead Bob. Okay. Mondays I will volunteer it's a survival center I can't do Mondays and then just coming Friday the 22nd, since there are very few Fridays I've already planned travel out of state. Okay. So it looks like Thursday, how about Thursdays Wednesday or Thursday. Thursday. After noon after after 12 o'clock PM works for me. Bob, did you have something more. Yeah, so Thursday. The doctor to have my shoulder repaired I have to be a mass general on Thursday next week. 21st. Yeah, I figured this was going to happen so yeah. Okay, we're we're Wednesday, the 20th. Wednesday, the 20th sounds good right. Could, could we also look at evenings like maybe I was going to ask that I was like five o'clock. I was like hard for people with young kids, but I've 36, you know, one day or something, but Bob, you're saying no. Yeah, I can do anything next week during the day because I have a class Monday through Friday, like all day class, but otherwise I'm pretty free. So I'll be just sending out a doodle poll with different times. What I was trying to just get you to focus on was a day. And the times would include evening hours as well. So I think what I'll just do is it sounds like Wednesdays at least for the most part are generally pretty good for people. So, because next week Friday the 22nd I know Bobby are not available but I think, you know, it's not likely that you're going to have the perfect date that everybody's going to be able to make it. It's very unlikely so at the very least what we're looking for is the majority of people. So we'll look for at least a quorum, if not more. And I'll get the results out to everybody. So I'll get that out at the end of this meeting. I'll work on putting that doodle poll together and getting it out. Okay, and do include the early evening. Yes, it will have evening times as well. All right. Thank you, Stephanie. Okay, figured that was going to be hard. Okay. Shall we jump into the. Remaining topics. And let me. Stephanie, do you want to be the share of the screen. Happy to are you looking at the draft solar bylaw remaining topics for discussion. I would look at that first. And then as we jump into the each of the topics we can revert to Chris's documents. Okay, I'm not sure this is the latest version. I think it is a V2 at the end. Yes, it does. So I'll share that I've got it up already so just give me a moment. Okay, so this was in the packet and this was. This was a courtesy primarily of Martha. And thank you, Martha for. Outlining this. It was, it was hers with then my. Hacking it a bit. And main by maintaining what I also appreciate on this is the time allotments that she's provided us. And so we're going to try to stick to these time frames as we go through these topics. And so we have some things to. Finish up with regard to farmland. Forest land and then some other issues. If you count up the hours or the minutes here, it's about. If we scroll down, we can get to hopefully to. Before it says future meeting through, through these topics today. And then be in good shape to. Potentially talk about these other two topics. In the next. Two meetings. One is what Chris has sort of put together. With some ideas with regard to. Apart from zoning sort of the permitting process. That we might. Recommend with regard to. Solar development. As a function of the zoning district. And again, obviously this is for all large scale, large scale solar, not residential scale solar. And then, and then a final meeting. Or a meeting and a half. Of trying to do a final pass through the entire document, which Chris has been putting together. So that sounds okay. Let's. Move back to the top of this. And talk about farmland. And maybe people, this packet is in your, this. Document is in your packet. So maybe you can bring that up and have that available to look at. As we then also look at. And Stephanie may would be good to share the screen then on the, on the. Farmland document. Okay. And it's in the packet, by the way, as well on the online packet. Yeah. Yeah. For folks. Okay. I'm going to stop sharing a second. What I also thought I would do is to keep us on track. Cause I'm not very good at that. Martha, would you be able to share that? Yeah. I think what I would do is to keep us on track. Cause I'm not very good at that. Martha, would you be willing to be. Somewhat of a time keeper. Okay. I can try. I mean, what I recommend is that. Each of us have a chance to voice our opinion. Question that comes up, but keep it to an elevator statement. Exactly. Yeah. Good point. Let's. We've heard. Lots of. Conversation and discussions and issues on these. On some meant most of these topics, if not all. But let's just try to keep it to the pithy. Issues that you want to bring forward as we sort of reach a decision on these. So. On farmland. You know, I guess the one. One of the issues I guess I'm reverting back to the remaining topics for discussion. But it sort of comes down here in the agricultural. Agrival takes required section. And as it's written currently, and I, as I recall the. Lawyer. His opinion was that we, it would be, we'd be hard pressed to make a requirement, but we could have a strong encouragement. And sort of a requirement that they do it unless they can demonstrate otherwise that it doesn't is not feasible. This is Agrival takes on farmland on farmland. So. Let's hear about that issue. People's thoughts on that. So. Yeah, so I have already commented on these, and I think everybody knows what I'm going to say. I do not think we need more restrictions. I think that if we should encourage possibly even reward, if there are resources to do that, I think farmers are hard pressed as it is. I'm not sure we should be requiring them to do anything. They will make the best financial decisions. All right. Good, Janet. You muted. Oh, I was going to say, I think Martha was first. So. Okay. Okay, there you are, Martha. Okay, go ahead. So, okay. Well, I would favor the wording that says. That the farmland is. Excuse me, that the Agrival would be required unless. The developer or applicant can demonstrate that it doesn't make. A lot of financial or technical. Feasibility. Although I don't feel so strongly that I would insist on it. My reasons are. One is. The state's goal of no loss of. Active farmland. The second is. That I think that the wording here has. A good legal out that says, unless you can demonstrate that it doesn't make sense. And maybe we couldn't make that not quite so strict. A third is that since we're here in Amherst and you mass of the ones that are really working hard on the Agrivoltaics, it seems to me it's a good opportunity for a mutual benefit of increasing the data and the research and getting you masses help to farmers to actually do this. And the fourth is that I think that that was what the respondents to the public survey favored. All right, good. All right, good. I'm certainly inclined and favorable on the language is basically written here. That is. That we don't provide a restriction, but that we. Hold their feet to the fire to. To do Agrivoltaics unless they can demonstrate that they can't. But not, but not overly restricted. And as Bob suggested as well. Okay. Janet. So I talked to Jake Marley about. You know what, how much, you know. You know, with the state adder for Agrivoltaics and he said that his company offers between eight to 10,000 an acre in terms of, you know, extra, you know, to the farmers. And I, then I also say, well, what if it was just a traditional array and he said it was like two to 3,000 an acre, you know, a hay field, maybe 900 an acre. I don't really have numbers on different vegetables, but it seems, you know, and I think when we talk farmers, we should talk about landowners and farmers. And so I think for me, I think, you know, the requirement that of. Dual use. If, you know, unless it's infeasible, which I'm not even sure why it would be infeasible on anyone's land. So that was one of my questions, like what would be infeasible. You know, if you can default to a hay field. And then the other question I had about this was why five acres was picked. But the other thing I really wanted to do is add language that. You know, not to, you know, we could require. Agrivoltaics unless it's infeasible for whatever reason, but also to require spacing for future farming. So it might not work for someone this year or next year, maybe they don't have the machinery or something, but maybe in 10 years. You know, we're going to need that farmland more than ever, as we can see with the floods recently taking out, you know, the Hadley land. So, and so I asked him, like, what's spacing. Do you need for Agrivoltaics? And Jake said he thought like a separation of between the panels of 20 feet. So they would still get money from putting solar panels in. Obviously you'd make less, but there'd be space for future farming. And so I thought that would be kind of a failsafe thing. But I really did wonder what would be economically infeasible because, you know, you said that your UMass is giving out, you know, certifications. There's a plan A, there's a plan B. You know, you know what I mean? So that's, that's my elevator questions and hoping to add something to it, some information and an extra requirement of just the spacing, allowing dual use. All right, I would just comment on that. I don't think we need to put spacing or specific numbers in there. The state eligibility requirements for Agrivoltaics has specifications that are designed to address these sort of issues. And particularly the issue with regard to the flexibility of the farm, so that, you know, this is going to be a 20, 30 year asset. So, you know, what's plan A, what's plan B, if this first crop, the first agricultural process and crops that they're planning to grow does not work well in the environment. What can they do next and to assure that the array is structured in space to have the flexibility to allow for a plan B and a plan C. And I, I think, I don't think we're in a position to say 20 feet or any specific number, but would leave that to the state design of the program, which is, you know, not, not perfect or ideal, but there's no other state in the country that has looked at this as closely. I wonder if between, you know, I love the state right now and I admire, we have a great team really looking hard at this issue, but we don't know what future administrations would do. I'm not tied to 20 feet, but I wonder if we have some language saying, you know, so, you know, to allow future, you know, dual use or something, because right now we're all behind the state standards in 10 years, we could have a different administration. So some language sort of saying it needs to be open for dual use. Does that. Well, I think. So that's, that's a suggestion. I think people should think about it because, you know, I always mow is in the world of what happens when things go bad, you know, because that's the world of attorneys. But what happens when, you know, the administration has rolled back that program isn't funding it anymore. And that may be a reason why we wouldn't require it if it's not economically feasible. If they do roll it back, which I don't think there's a suggestion that they would, but and it becomes economic infeasible, then it's not clear what these landowners, what their options would be. Okay, Martha. Yeah, a simple suggestion for how to do that is down under where we have agrivoltaics design and reporting requirements, and the developer has to submit the plan. We could simply add the statement that the plan includes the spacing of the array. Then that takes care of the problem. We don't have to put anything else in. Would be my suggestion there to. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, obviously the plan as it stands now for the state would include the spacing key. Mine is actually two, two dimensions of the spacing. It's in between the roads, but also separation of the channels within the row. And I think the more important issue to some extent is what the state has is the no more than 50% shading requirement. That that's not specifically to has doesn't specifically have to do with row spacing. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so it sounds like that would take care of the of Janet's concern then. If we just say no more than 50% shading. We want to say that in our rules. If the state has that in their rules and then, you know, and then the science changes to say, oh, you know, we really need 60% or 40% changes the rules. That's better than us having to change the rules. Okay. Go ahead, Chris. I think Janet is suggesting that even if you don't choose agrivoltaics. That if you put a solar array on farmland. You must comply with certain spacing requirements. And so you would not. Harkin back to the. ST, STGU. Because it wouldn't apply. Excuse me. Okay. Yeah. And then I actually would favoring, I mean in favor of general language without specific, you know, numbers, like percent shading or numbers, you know, I mean, if we did put in a specific numbers, you know, the town also can later change with, with the state's revised thinking, but I do think he's puzzling in general. And I could do is I can send some language out. That might soften it or make it more flexible, but also have a requirement that this land just can't be taken out of production because, you know, we all know the reasons why it shouldn't be. I mean, from the state plan, from the town plan, from the town residents preferences, you know, and then also it keeps land open for farming for farmers that don't open on their land. And, you know, who are not exactly a moneyed class and easy. It's not easy for them to buy farmland. Yeah, that, that being said, I mean, I guess I, and maybe to Bob's point as well, if, if. For some reason the state does away with the agrivoltaic incentive. And farmers can because with that, I think it would be hard for. To demonstrate that it's not economically or technically viable. But without that, it could, it would very well probably be hard to justify as economically viable. And. At that point, I'm not sure if, if. If we would. Not allow a landowner. A farm owner to put up an array. That seems to be a bit of a restriction. On, on their land use. I do understand the points with regard to wanting to maintain. Food production. But it gets at the heart of the issue of, of. Of. Over regulation, perhaps of the landowner. I would like to hear your thoughts on that, Martha. Yeah, again, again, I think it might be covered. Okay. Down for the other. The point that we need to discuss in the next five minutes. Is down under the agrivoltaics design and reporting. No under. We have this, we have the statement that says, oh, yes, design and reporting requirements. Number two, that says substitution of other agricultural uses on prime farm land currently being used for food crops, you know, in order to accommodate the solar panels is prohibited unless an equal or large acreage of farmland not currently being used for farming is converted to the growth of food crops. And so it seems that would cover the situation so that if you want to put up an array in one place, you simply then need to have your have your, you know, food crops grown somewhere else every farmer knows their land, and they know where things grow best, and where it makes sense. And that would also protect renters who are, you know, use five to 10 acres to grow food crops and if the owner decides to put up solar panels there that it would protect them if we had that mitigation requirement and I think that would take care of the concerns we have discussed in the past few minutes. Right. Janet go ahead. I'm trying to try to stay on the elevator. So, you know, any kind of regulation of property with the zoning bylaw is reducing the options of a landowner to do things on their property so I can't open a copper smelter in my yard. And, you know, that I have lost some economic value there's very limited commercial uses I can have my property because I'm in a residential zone. So, you know, and pretty, so I just want to point that out like if you're against all regulation of property, we shouldn't, you know, you're not going to vote on any part of this bylaw so we should, you know, it's it would be reducing the economic, the economic, the money you can make from a solar array doesn't take away from your ability to make money from farmland. And, you know, right now all the things are pushing for agrovoltaics and you kind of being saying not to. But I think I think that requirement of leaving land open for future use is really important because they're not making any more farmland and the state is telling us to protect our farmland and expand it. The other part of my elevator speech is I sent Chris, a couple of extra requirements that we'd go under agrovoltaics design reporting. And I think I pulled that off of, I can't remember it's Kip Colenskis or Scott Cation I'm kind of lost right I think it's Kip Colenskis who does farm stuff. And so I'm hoping we can just send them out. You know, she can send them out to consider. And it's about like road widths and utilizing already compacted areas and you know, eliminating, you know, it's just like very, very practical things that might feel like oh that's over regulation but I think when I was working with them I was thinking, you know, the audience for the zoning bylaw isn't just the person applying but it's also the ZBA, or the planning board who isn't going to have a knowledge of what specifics would work, and what's important issues for farm soils, and things like that so there's like for them. And so I'm hoping Chris could sort of send them out later, and we could talk about it next time or it people can mall it in between. I'm off the elevator. All right, you've hit your floor. Okay. All right. Do we have. Yeah, go ahead. What we need to wrap it up in the next two, three minutes. Can you, Dwayne, can you summarize what you thought you think the majority fee. I think I think I hear that we'll keep, we would keep the main section here that Agrivoltaics for farmlands. Well, we said greater than five acres but there's a question about that that's been an active farming for five years that if they wanted to develop solar on that land it would need to be Agrivoltaics as defined by the Commonwealth. And unless they can demonstrate that it does not make a technical or economic is not technically or economically feasible. If in some for some reason, it's not economically or technically feasible perhaps the state incentives go away. Then they would need to demonstrate that a comparable amount of acreage that is being lost from the solar array of farming is that acreage is replaced somewhere else. It's not exactly clear whether that's on their own land or some other in Amherst or some other land in Massachusetts. I'm not clear on that part. Janet. I have a quick question. So when we say five acres. It's a 10 acre farm and so it's probably going to be only about three acres of panels right because of setbacks and spacing and roads and stuff. Is that right? Well, I would, I mean, I thought the five acres would be five acres of active agriculture. It could be on a 10 acre farm so there may be plenty of it may, it may, the solar array may make it up the full five acres and still have setbacks. Okay, I just, I would just. So I was wondering what the thinking behind that was but that. Anyway, so that's, but thanks for the clarification or maybe it's not clear from the language there. Do we want to threshold or is it any, any, I mean, we don't want to implement this on somebody's backyard garden that they've been actively farming for five years. That might be a 1 1⁄8 of an acre or 1⁄10 of an acre. Yeah, yeah, I figured five acres would be what's that. That's like a mega. That's a megawatt. That's fairly substantial. Maybe five acres is too large for this. I'm trying to remember how many acres. Jake's broccoli and Joe's broccoli crop, broccoli patches. But that's probably less than an acre or less than a megawatt, I think. I'm open to what that should be. The idea there would not to, you know, if it's a really small farm that we're not that concerned about the net loss of farmland in that small acreage. And the economy is the scale of doing agrivoltaics maybe harder for very small projects. I didn't want to necessarily implement this for, for small price. That being said, this whole regulation only applies to 250kW or greater. So maybe, maybe we don't have to say anything about acreage. And if it's over 250, then 250kW, then it, it's applicable. Maybe I would suggest we do that just not mention the acreage. And if it's less than 250kW, then it's not really the zoning rules are not really applicable to that project. And that would be a quarter of an acre. Maybe we should let Chris speak to that. The reason I chose five acres was because the state really looks at five acres as being a cutoff for an agricultural operation. And something that is five acres or more is, is allowed to have some exemptions from requirements of zoning and things like that. And so that's why I chose five acres. So it doesn't, you know, it's not a magic number, it's just a number that is kind of generally recognized as being a minimum size of a farm. Our bylaw, our zoning bylaw doesn't have a minimum acreage for a farm. So you can, you know, have a farm that's smaller than that under our bylaw, but under the state it's five acres. But the state also recognizes two acres or more if you make $1,000 or more in income per acre per year. So, okay. That's how I came up with the five acres. I guess, you know, I guess I would have some, I mean, in this, in the, you know, maybe hypothetical case, but a case where, you know, it's a small farm, five, four, five acres less than five acres. And there's really the landowner is like retiring. It's not really a succession plan. It's been in farming for five years. But the farmer landowner farmer doesn't know what to do with it next and there's no real succession plan. I'm not sure if we would require him. He may not be he or she may not be able to do agrivoltaics. If they don't have a succession plan and plan to keep to keep it in farming. Because agrivoltaics by the state for the state, you can put them up high but you need to do active farming. You know, that's in the case, Janet. And then let's wrap this up. I think we have a sort of a really good point, Dwayne, and I think probably at that point you could just call Hyperion and say, Hey, you know, this might be a project. And then you work it because they'll probably find the farmer that could do that or, you know, lease it or something like that. But I think that's a really good point. I think maybe the clarity that the, for me that what would make it clear is instead of saying any LS SPI that is over five acres say any farm. You know, it's like, is it the way or is it the farm that you're catching? I think what Chris is saying it's the farm, like any farm over five acres runs into like a bunch of state regulations and it's the array. It really is the array. I was thinking of the array that's over five acres. Okay. Yeah, so I think maybe, okay, so that's, that's clearer in my mind. I hope the language captures that. Yes. Okay. Okay. All right, good. I think, I think we're making progress. Was there anything else that we didn't cover on the farmland? No, those, those were the main thing covered it. Okay. Yeah. All right. So, yep, go ahead. Shall we move to the forest land. Forced land. So you didn't have something about forest land in your packet this time, but I did email the latest version of it to Stephanie this morning. Or like a half an hour ago. So, if Stephanie can find that in her email, we can look at that. I think it wasn't a past packet, but I just forgot to put it in this packet. I guess we had these on the topics remaining for discussion. We had a few bulleted items that we can walk through in the meantime. I'm working on it just. Yeah, yeah. So I think what Martha said to admit the entire soil requirements section, which I think makes sense for farce, because when you go in there and you start removing the timber, and then you remove, then you grub the soil, you know, grub the tree roots out. So I really do disturb the soil quite a bit. So, putting in place requirements to conserve the soil is hard to imagine, and it's hard to enforce. So I think it probably doesn't make sense. So that was one thing. So, Stephanie, if you can move this down to the next part, this is the next statement. So, starting with ecosystem protection. For all LS SPI's, there shall be no farce clearing on land designated as core habitat and critical natural landscapes on Massachusetts GIS Biomap three or on land designated as priority habitat, habitat or estimated habitat as defined by Massachusetts Endangered Species Act. So, this could be controversial. But maybe not. I spoke with Aaron Jacques, who is the wetlands administrator and she thought that this language made sense in a forest area that you would not want to have solar arrays in these places, but people may argue against that. So, just putting that out there. Any thoughts on that. Jen, is that a new hand. Yeah, what is the critical natural landscape. It's something that's connected with the Biomap. And I attended a webinar that talked about what core habitat is and what critical natural landscapes are. And when I look at a map of Amherst, the area of core habitat and critical natural landscape isn't very large. Aaron showed it to me on a map. And so I thought it would be reasonable to include that. Is that then so, you know, I, I understand like the endangered stuff, but in looking at the north. West corner where there's a lot of forest land does that encompass a lot of that or none of that or just some of it. It encompasses some of it. Is it, is it larger than the. The, the stuff that's protected as drinking water supply is it larger than that. It's not really connected to drinking water supply. It's different. It's a different type of map. I guess I'd like to see that and see what we're protecting and not protecting. That'd be important. Okay. Is this the Biomap. I do have a, I do have a snippet of the Biomap map map for Amherst. In honesty, I did that a while ago and I don't know if it's Biomap three specifically. I'm not as familiar with those that work, nor whether it includes the priority habitats and, and so forth. But, but yeah, it is. There are sections of Amherst for sure. But it's not, it's limited. And it covers some areas of the northeast. But not all for sure. I think if you go online and you look up Biomap, you can explore it and see where these two areas are in Amherst. If people wanted to do that. Unfortunately, I don't have that readily at hand. Yeah, Jack. Yeah, I'm just looking for a link or rather than. What do you want us to do? Google Biomap. Amherst mass. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I can share my screen and show you what I did a couple of weeks ago. Okay. Unfortunately, it's not, if Jack, if you want to, in the meantime, try to draw, draw up the interactive map, I just got the map focused on Amherst and then did a snippet of it. It's not interactive. But I can share that. In the meantime, if I, much of I can unshare you, Stephanie. I think I might be looking at it on my phone, but I'm not going to be able to screen share. I apologize. I just had a call that I had to take. I'm sorry. What was that doing? If you can unshare it so I can share. Yeah, you can you would knock me right off actually, but that's okay. I don't want to be rude. That's okay. I would not take offense. Okay. So this, you can see Amherst in here. And this I truth that I'm a little bit. Again, I just, I don't know what the light green is versus the dark green. But these were the areas that came up as bio in Biomap. I believe that the dark green is the. Core habitat and the light. The dark green is the core habitat and the light green is the. What is it called natural. Landscapes. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So it's really only a small area if you're right. Yeah, I mean, this, this I think is the Mill River area. It's a lot of areas along the rivers. Yeah. So it looks like it encompasses a lot of the Northwest section that people are so concerned about, especially our loyal followers in the audience. Northeast. Yeah. Northeast. Sorry. Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. So don't follow my directions anywhere, please. So it makes, so it makes sense to me to leave this requirement in. What do others think? I'd be in favor of that. I think it's aligned with. Sort of what I've been hearing. Obviously from, from some community members as well as. Sort of maybe shifting state priorities to try to really. Minimize to the extent that we need to. Work with some natural lands to try to minimize the. Damage. Or the impact. Associated with that. Bob. Yeah, I'm fine with that section. Those requirements are common in the wellness protection act. So it's really nothing that's really that. New or unique. All right. All right, let's go with. That. So we'll leave that in for now. Or anybody gets on the elevator again. Okay. Until the next. Sorry, Stephanie. The forest language. So. So the only other topics that. The. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. The. The only other topics that I had thought were important was to, was the state, the mitigation of. Yeah. Here. The present preservation of forested area elsewhere, that. Happy that requirement in. Well, why don't you go back to the bottom of the preceding page? And we can talk about whether we should say anything about what Cutting of more than either five or 10 acres for the purpose of installing the solar arrays shall be prohibited. Unless the landowner does X, Y and C. So, yeah, what do you think about the five or 10 acres? I'm inclined to go with 10 acres. But that's a topic that you guys, you all should discuss. Go ahead. So, I, you know, I haven't, I'm not, I haven't seen the project on Schittsbury Road that has been proposed, but it's 10 acres of a panels and 40 acres of clearing. And so, that's a lot of land being opened up. And so I was, I was happy to see the five. I think Belcher 10 has five and that's past muster, at least with the AG, I don't know if it's going to get challenged to the SJC. But I don't know, I thought five was less. And, you know, we're talking, you know, if you're talking about grubbing, you know, 20, 30, 40 acres of land, I think that's a really substantial change to the ecosystem, to the groundwater. We're at that point just, we're not helping on the forest, the goals of the forest, you know, preservation, you know, I mean, if you can find and create, you know, 20 or 30 or 40 acres of forest somewhere else in Amherst, I guess that's your mitigation. But I don't think that's going to happen. So I was, I thought five was good. Because then it would be like 10 acres of clearing and hopefully not 20, but I'm not sure how would, you know, why that was one of my questions to the planning board is like, how do you get 10 acres panels and 40 acres of cutting. So realizing that might be a possibility makes makes me hesitate to go to 10. I think that is cutting of five acres or 10 acres and then assume that the array is going to be smaller than that. Yeah. Yeah, I'd be, I'm a little bit resistant to go as small as five and would be inclined to go with 10 but interested, mainly because I think most of the projects will be 10. Which may be reason to have this in here but you know just the economy of going in and doing this work is you're probably talking about larger arrays and we want to for various reasons interconnection and so forth. And, you know, if we wanting. Yeah, so let me hear from Martha. Okay, first of all, we're saying that it's in the residential area. Right, that's not anywhere. It's in the residential area. So that already means that it's an area that's going to, you know, impact people where they're living. And so I would vote for the five acres because what we're saying is down further than is, if you're going to clear cut a larger area then you need to mitigate it somewhere else. So we're leaving an option open, I think. So that's my vote, five acres. I was just, I was looking at the zoning. Sorry, the districts. What do you call them zoning districts, Chris sorry. Designations on a map I found in Amherst and while the residential, our own residential. Outline. It does imply that there's residents around there. It's pretty low density. There's roads and there's certainly could be well away from homes themselves. In those districts, but still in the RO districts, which are pretty prevalent in the region. Go ahead Chris. Those are our biggest districts and just because they're called residential doesn't mean they are residential so most of our farmland and forest land is in the RO or RLD. The other big districts would be the PRP, Professional Research Park, which is pretty big, but most of the other districts are relatively small except for, you know, general residents and, you know, things that are close into the center of town. So it covers a lot of the forested areas and the farmland areas to say RO and RLD. And it doesn't necessarily imply that it's near housing. And I think in order to actually have an array that's worth anything, you probably have to clear at least 10 acres. So I feel like we don't want to make this so onerous that nobody is going to want to build solar in Amherst. We want to in some ways, you know, encourage it but not encourage it to be too impactful. So I think 10 acres is a reasonable number. Yeah, okay. I tend to agree with the 10 acres for those reasons as well. I know there's views on the other side or at least going smaller but Jack, yeah, be good to hear from others. Yeah, I would lean toward the 10 acres. I'm just thinking five acres or, you know, the size of some residential lots and a subdivision in places. So, yeah, so I agree with 10. Yeah, okay, I concur to the majority there. Right. But Bob. Yeah, Bob. Yeah, I, as you probably can guess, don't agree with this whole section. I'm not sure we should prohibiting 510 or any acreage. I mean, I have no problems with regulation but this restrictions, or letting them by their way out is just important. I just can't agree with this at all. Okay, but let me also just be clear. Chris, this is we're setting this up as not a restriction, but if you do more than 10 acres, then you have to do these various things. That's correct. Yeah, I get your point Bob that that's still. It depends and we'll get to those things in a moment, but it's still more substantial regulation than saying they're not having those. Yeah. Janet. Yeah, go ahead. One last. You got a short ride up to the fifth floor. And house floor. So I'm actually looking at the zoning map. I, you know, it's not going to help me to hold it up to you but I don't even think there's that much land left a forested land. I could think of some you mass lands that are off of Northeast street. And then, you know, parts of off of Henry street and think behind that and stuff like that. So I don't. I don't think there's that many lots that would fall into these categories to begin with. So just just that perspective. Okay, let's I'm hearing the 10 acres as a. I'm not sure about a consensus, but at least some majority. At this point, so let's go with that, but then let's. Chris, what was your where you're going to go through the next. The next part is to talk about if you do clear more than 10 acres, then. Should you be required to set aside an equal amount of land somewhere else either in Amherst or in a town of budding Amherst. And just to give you a frame of reference shoots berry requires a four to one designation. So if you cut an acre of forest and shoots berry to put in solar, then you're required to preserve four acres elsewhere. And I think there's another town that does the same thing and I'm trying to think of it's Belcher town or not. But anyway, it is something that other towns do. And it seemed a reasonable mitigation to me. But that's up to you to decide. I guess I would make a comment on that first and then Janet. I'm sort of inclined in some to go in this direction to some extent hearing sort of what I've been hearing from the state and certainly from constituents. I, I question whether the solar developer and the land owner or the applicant I should say, is in the best situation to find the and preserve the best, the forest land and particularly the best forest land available to preserve or whether that's best left to the town or a land trust, and whether this should instead, which I think maybe the or after this is that some payment in lieu. Is the terminology would be required from the developer so that that's then paid to either land trust or the town, so that they and with some rules about that. So that then they use that money to really target that forest preservation in an in an area that is well chosen. So that was, that sort of was my first idea on that. Janet. So I think all the towns around us have a four to one set aside requirement. I think it's like, I remember that chart that Doug Marshall made. I think one for one is is is it's not first of all buying up the development rights to forest land isn't that expensive. It's not as valuable in terms as far as as ag land. So I would do a higher requirement. And, you know, I think that pretty much, you know, it's not that hard to find land nearby that has still has the development rights on it and, you know, we could get some guidance from land conservation groups, you know, I know they're trying to put together big pieces, you know, to preserve a big chunk and they're trying to get some land to be, you know, you know, return to like a wild land so I think it wouldn't be hard. I'm sure they if a person with a project person could easily find acres nearby or adjoining, you know, in our in our area that they could buy up rights to or you know temporarily probably permanently but it's not that expensive. Go ahead. Martha. Okay, well, I would strongly favor say a two to one mitigation and what I read from KP law was that that had passed the AG's approval and other places. I am strongly against the or payment in lieu I think that's that's that's wrong that's ineffective. It opens a can of worms when we talked about this in a previous meeting, everyone said that was a quote can of worms, I think, and it seems to me I agree with Janet it's, it's not that hard to find other farm land that you could buy up or donate because we do, in practical sense have one large landowner in this general regional area that could, if it's a different developer, they could buy up some of that land to to set aside, or that land could be donated to the Kestrel Trust or and you could get a good tax right off in the process. And so I strongly favor keeping number one. And as I say my preference would be a two to one, but not having the option of just a payment in lieu that's ineffective it dumps things on the town the town doesn't have that greater reputation for really following up and it puts a burden on town staff. I would just go to with with number one. So number one, I guess, depending on how it's written I mean how. Yeah, how do we, it may be easy to buy land locally but I'm not sure if we want to limit it to Amherst or how what's the geographic limit would be and what's to keep them from buying land further away then then then we'd rather them do. I guess that's one one point but I get your point and you know maybe it's it's it's some language about that they have the the applicant has to purchase this land set it aside but it has to be in some way approved as by the town. I don't think meeting requires certain requirements I don't, I don't, I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it. I would be inclined also to go with the two to one, four to one seems a bit like well beyond the net net loss criteria that we're looking, looking to achieve. And I had one other point but I'll have to get back to that. I think of think of it. And it gets to the one and not the. I guess yeah I guess the other thing is, this is for 10 acres or more. I do wonder whether it would be a side note. Yeah, I think there was some, some issues raised, maybe by the lawyer as well I don't know but you know is this is this are we picking on solar developers as opposed to any other developers in this on this issue, and whether there should be a side note to the council or the manager that while we're suggesting this to be this the the bylaw that the council should consider a similar requirement for other development that takes more than 10 acres of forest land. That was what I was thinking. Okay well according to my little watch we're out of time so this final comments on on any of this. Janet. I wanted to, I want to take a little time, you know, before our next meeting to ponder the soil changes. And that makes me want to go back and look at what the rest of the bylaw requires I know we're requiring to save topsoil and things like that so I don't want to have the bylaw repeating things over and over again and looking so dense and so I just want to you know reserve a little time to look at that. I wondered if we wanted to do a requirement to use the wood, you know what I mean, like a lot of times people just chip, and that I think Jonathan Thompson made that point, like, if you're not using the wood for furniture or something permanent or building, you lose all the carbon that sequestered so we might put a statement saying, you know strongly favor and courage, you know part of the mitigation is to save, you know as much wood as possible, and things like that so that's something I was just thinking I'm glad you brought that up Janet, because that was actually something I had thought of before and I think I raised that many many months ago when we were looking at this before. And I feel like, from what I know peripherally about foresters and forestry that if there's merchantable, good merchantable wood is quite valuable. So that will generally make its way to the marketplace. That being said, on the margins that may not be as, as you know, it's a lot easier to chip it up in many ways so I would, I would, again, I know, as you say, I'm not sure if they would be kind of a strict requirement to have to but I would, you know, maybe make some statement that there needs to be within the applicant needs to demand needs to report to the town in its planning documents of what it's how it's going to make use and and of the wood that's harvested from the forest and to demonstrate that they're maximizing the extent to which it is merchantable and offered into into market sectors that would maintain sequestration of that wood. Yeah, I'd be inclined to add that. I did look at Jonathan's calculator and that I actually played with that that specific liver or whatever it was it didn't as make as much of an impact as I thought it would, but still it helps. Okay. Well, we have time now we have half an hour, which is time for one more topic. So we need to choose battery storage or stormwater management. I'd make a plug for stormwater management because I haven't written anything on battery storage yet. Sounds good. Okay. I'm pulling that document up. And, and Stephanie you have that what I'd sent you about the four principles that I do but I can't. I was going to just show this first, I think, or I don't know how you want me to do that. Well, that's up to Chris, I guess. So, Well, we can look at what what Martha sent, but I think the two things that are shown here. Are the first part in black. Those are regulations and laws that people have to follow when they're developing land in Massachusetts and in Amherst. And so there's a lot that's already been written about, you know, types of erosion control devices and how do you control sediment and, you know, lots about stormwater management. So I don't really feel like it's necessary to rewrite all of this. And if we did rewrite it, we would be writing a book. And, you know, that's not really what a bylaws about so I put together this list of regulations and laws, and I had Aaron Jacques, the wetlands administrator look at it and she thought it was a reasonable list she added some things to it. And she said that we should probably add links to these references, which I think makes sense. So rather than, you know, reinventing the wheel. Just having these references in here and saying that these solar arrays need to comply with these requirements, I think is reasonable. However, the red writing down below is in response to concerns that were raised about drinking water. So the water supply protection committee did have specific regulations that they recommended in order to protect drinking water. So I think we probably want to review those, but I wanted to get a general sense from you that the items in black were sufficient. In other words, when we allow, you know, a shopping place to be built or a subdivision of homes. These are the documents that we rely on. We don't specify in the zoning bylaw how to control erosion and sedimentation and stormwater for all of these different kinds of developments. So I didn't think it was appropriate to, you know, to get all that specific about these things. So I just wanted to get some sense of consensus that you all agree to the black writing here. Good, Martha. Yeah, you asking us to agree to have only the black and none of the red. No, I'm asking you to agree to have the black with the links to those documents. And then in addition to that, to have the specific requirements for drinking water resources that are in red. And that was something that Jack brought up in an email that he sent out this week. He thought these things were very important. So I added them to this section. I just scrolled down just a couple of lines to just see the see the rest of it. Yeah, yeah, I think those were good. And then I like the one of phasing things in so you're not disturbing more than 10 acres of time. And the other thing that I might suggest is that we could include here maybe the from the original forest land section that we agreed we were just going to shorten where we wanted to say that we left a certain margin of uncut forest land next to residential properties or something is that in here or do we need to add that. That is not in here, but I did include it somewhere. Let's see. There's so many versions of this floating around. There were two sentences that I put into the forest section having to do with setbacks and I will bring those I will bring those back to the surface for our next meeting. Okay. Yes. So I like the and on the slopes business we are going to say that we're just going to stay with our 15%. I think that's reasonable I think 33% is, you know, it is something that you see in developments, you know, particularly when you're putting in a road, you would see three to one slopes and you can mow a three to one slope but given all the disturbance that goes into putting in solar arrays it seemed to me that 15% was more reasonable. Yes, because it may take the vegetation a while I mean like even a few years to really get, you know, a step well established. Yeah. So some of these things in red would probably apply to all solar arrays. And specifically it would be the slopes and the one right below it to limit land disturbance to areas of 10 acres or less. So those two things should probably be put elsewhere in the bylaw for all solar arrays. These things in red just relate to solar arrays that are potentially in an area where drinking water supplies are potentially threatened. Okay. Okay, so that I guess, and then we'll go to Jack for in a second. I guess I have some questions about the 10 acre limit. For so the idea would be that yet the phases projects so you do 10 acres at a time, essentially and what are we talking about the whole array is basically constructed on 10 acres and then you go to the next 10 acres. That I guess I wouldn't mind getting Lars and put on that. I don't know what that may have some serious ramifications on the logistics and and economics associated with installing solar to the extent that you have to bring some specialized equipment on numerous times. And then and then get your crews out there to do certain things at several different times as opposed to at one for once swipe at it. I do get the the the issue with regard to constraining the the impact. But I guess I I hadn't. What is there precedent for this in other communities or the solar industry I guess I wouldn't mind hearing from Laura on on her take on that. That would be a good idea. I think it comes from talking with Aaron Jacques about development of solar. And she recommends that. You clear and grub and stabilize and install. 10 acres and then you move on to the next one where you clear. Grub stabilized like doubling the logistics of. Or we're more than doubling. It's kind of like the preservationist conservationist is talking to the solar installer and they're not in the same place. Yeah. And so we need to come together about what we want to do here. Yeah. Okay, Jack. Yeah, I don't recall, you know, the. Where the seed for this idea came from, but I guess. There seem to be some limit in terms of putting the brakes on it in terms of how much develop because, you know, the larger the area, the more likelihood of some sort of sediment and erosion control malfunction happening. And that sort of thing. So we kind of, I guess the attitude was to keep it. You know, to put some limit doesn't have to be 10 acres to give me some, some other number, but to kind of phase it in and just and heighten the control and make sure that the sediment and erosion controls are done properly. And I think that's what we gathered from, from the project that went. Went badly in the area that they, they, I don't think they were, I think they were larger than the 10 acres sort of thing and just kind of out of control and it just didn't get the focus on the project that it probably should have. It's been a while but I think that's the, the, you know, the rationale for putting in any limit whatsoever to the land disturbance at any time. And then that my would have a question. So if you compare this. Well, I shouldn't compare it to any project that's coming before us, but some projects would propose that you clear grub stabilize an area and then move on to the next area clear grub stabilize and do that until you are. You know, until your whole area is ready for installation and then you come in and you install in the first phase and you install on the second phase and you install on the third phase so that's, that's the mechanism that seems to be most agreeable to the developers. So, it would be interesting to hear from Laura about is that the way we should go or is this idea of doing the whole thing. You know, completing the whole phase and then moving on to the next one. Okay, I get, I do get the issues. I guess I, you know, one thing that we I think would need to hone in on was it mean by. What, what, what constitutes a phase is it all the way to the array construction and then you move on to the next one or is it that stabilizing. And then allow the, the equipment to just come back and do the next set of acres and so forth and then and then have the array constructed all together on all two or three phases, sort of one after another. But I guess, if we do have something along these lines would be interesting to hear from Laura of what the appropriate break should be in these phases. All right, go ahead, Martha. I think one of the problems is these relatively recent and ongoing torrential rains that that happen like look at what lemonster just in the past couple of weeks and so on and so that's, I think is the reason that we go along with whatever common sense things Jack suggests, but having in mind these potential drastic downpours that can cause erosion. All right, super. Janet. I think we do need some clarity about what the term disturbance means because, you know, as you know not being an expert in solar arrays but when I think about it. You know clearing the site, you know establishing vegetation putting up your, your erosion controls is one thing right but then if you, when you put all the equipment in that's a huge disturbance again so if you had 50 acres that was, you know you had seated your erosion controls, and then you're digging it all up again. And you start having rain or the controls fail that I think is the disaster scenario that you know people have seen and you know I talked to the Palmer thing and erosion was a huge problem for them and stabilizing site so you know maybe having better slopes will help but you know 50 acres of erosion is different than 10 acres and so I think I'm guessing that disturbance of the site is digging, you know digging the stuff so and putting things in. I think it'd be good to get clarity on that because it's we're all going to need that when you implement it. I'd like to raise the question. I have a big arching question so Chris clarified that these red things are in addition to the million other stormwater things. I had sent around some recommendations from the national renewable energy lab and I think the University of Wisconsin or Minnesota and never can remember. Apologies to that state saying that solar arrays need different stormwater controls because you know the rain hits and then it slides off and it, you know, kind of falls off on a drip edge which hardens the soil and things like that. I think Jack saw that I have no expertise in this area, but I'm wondering. Are there stormwater controls for arrays that are different than the normal stuff and I've read some stuff where you know there's like a little weird thing in Massachusetts memo saying yeah it's different but we haven't enacted that yet. And I asked Jack is these these solar array stormwater management controls are they different better needed. Are we missing something. I'd love to have the answer to that. So I feel like if the federal national renewable energy lab is saying let's do something different for this I think we should really do that too. I don't know what the difference is because it's it's beyond my ability. Yeah, I I would say that it really depends. Well, if we're talking like conversion of force to solar that that's one thing but you know and we're talking about conversion of agricultural land or, or other you know, fallow type plan to solar that's that's another so each each of the sites have unique situations that would be presented to the developer and the permit granting authority in terms of engineering, especially with regard to how to do the erosion controls but in and of itself the the there's short term with the construction and then there's long term with regard to the established solar array there's two different kind of stormwater issues that you're looking at, you know, so, but in and of itself that that situation where you you're looking at the water coming off a panel which is, say, you know, six feet by 10 feet that in and of itself is not the most of a nature. I mean, you think of a gut or off a roof. You know that's 20 foot high you know this is going to be on the order of six to eight feet. The area of those panels aren't that large so. Yes, you know there there will be, you know, a drip line, but then you also have you have a lot of vegetation the whole area is going to be vegetated. And this kind of is is buffered by the fact that the ground is grasped beneath the solar so there's not enough energy to wear those types of rains for an established site can really do damage with regard to erosion is my understanding. And then, you know, again, here we are in human New England there's a lot of studies, you know, in other areas. There's an arid situation where you get, you know, a cloud burst in because they're already susceptible to to erosion because as the nature of, you know, no, no vegetative cover whatsoever out there. And it's a different story. So that's, that's all I guess I can say on that mark so for in our world I don't think there's anything unique about the stormwater. Or excuse me about a solar array in special provisions that need to be made specifically because there's solar panels there beside other than say some other type of land development. Thanks, Jack. Yeah, Martha. Yeah, Stephanie, could you quickly put up that that slide with the four principles that I sent you was I read, you know, many of those documents that that Janet and Jack are referring to. And it seemed that there were of what came through and every single one of them was what that I took a snapshot of four basic principles that have to be applied that that somewhere in our in our bylaw these get put in. And, and I, if Stephanie, if you could put that up because I think we've covered much of them, but we can just quickly see that. I see. Yeah, there that this seemed to be what all the documents were basically talking about. And so if we have the requirement somewhere in that, you know, there has to be this, you know, as part of the initial report they have to do the study of the of the soil the soil compaction and the density and the soil depth. And then you know what you're dealing with in terms of what you need for erosion. And then as Jack has mentioned the establishing the vegetative ground cover. And then fourth is something that Janet had brought up with farmland but again the distance between the arrays, so that you do have enough space for the water then that runs off to filter in so it would seem that somewhere in our bylaw. So four things should get inserted and that seemed to be common to all these documents. So, maybe I can ask Chris I mean to what extent are some of these things already infused in some of those other laws, or in some of the language we have so far. This to me that what's written here applies more to agriculture, but I'm not sure, but I do think that a lot of these things are already incorporated into the documents that are listed in the beginning of this section. So, you know, I can look into that. Stephanie may be a good person to talk about this with because she used to be the conservation officer in Amherst and she was often dealing with issues related to run off and things like that. I. So, I will look at the documents that we list to see if these four items are incorporated into them. Yeah, because I mean, I think we do have language about ground cover and so forth. The distance between the arrays, I don't know if that's so much of an issue for what Jack just told us and also, at least in the north northern latitudes arrays. Economically it'll just be spaced out further than they are in southern latitudes. Jack. Yeah, I was going to say this seems more like of a. What a higher level kind of guidance. Which is appropriate this is this is all good but when it comes down to a bylaw, I know, not sure that we need to get in the weeds. You know, like this, I just don't think it's. It's just, it's just. Verbiage I think it is already taken by account of for by all the references that we listed initially. You know, for in that stormwater section that Chris went over. There's just best management practices. So I, I don't know. I don't know how you would fit this in, but it doesn't seem necessary to me. Because I mean, there's already state documents that they have to abide by that. I think. Take all this into account. Great Jack. Thanks. Jen and just a heads up we have about 5 more minutes and then we want to hear from our. Other attendees down to 15 seconds. I. You know, speaking as a planning board member. I would, I, this kind of information would be really helpful to a citizen on the ZBA or the planning board who didn't understand all the depth that Jack has. And I wonder if it could be worked in a way that kind of is informative to in the bylaw that says, you know, these are the things to look for. So I just, that's one thing. The other thing I want to talk about maybe quickly is I was a little bit lost between the 100 foot buffer and the 400 foot buffer. 100 feet for private wells, 400 for public drinking water supplies. And I thought that, you know, what if we just did 400 for everything and that would take care of people's concern about groundwater recharge. And also it's not that far, but I think it would, I don't know if it overlaps with other buffers. And so I'm a little buffer zoned. The complicity consistency 400 feet isn't that long. If you're worried that you're not going to have recharge for your well that might be feel good. I'm not sure why we had 400 feet for public water supplies and so I'm just kind of like lost in that maze and it doesn't have to be resolved right now but I'm a little. Not clear. So that can maybe speak to them. My recollection is that a public water well is thousands, if not tens of thousands of times as much draw from the, from the. What's the purpose of a 400 foot buffer zone that wouldn't be served. That's the zone one for a public water well is 400 feet and that's been hardwired into any municipal or community water supply for, you know, the last 50 years, and then they have a zone to which is something that is more directly contributing to the well that is focused more on this upgraded sand and gravel aquifer and then zone three is the watershed that contributes into the zone to. So the zone one is 400 feet. It's unprotective it's got a history of decades for these municipal wells which pump, you know, thousands times more than a private well and that's where the zone of influence of a private well is small ish to where we're setting, you know, septic systems to set back 100 feet. Any, you know, an oil tank would be set back 100 feet. All these things that have a much greater threat to a private well are 100 feet. So why go 400 feet for a solar field which is innocuous basically, you know, I'm sorry, Jack, but why go 400 feet for the public drinking water supply like could you have an oil tank 100 feet away from it and still protect that supply or like what's the purpose of the buffer zone to just give space for recharge or make sure nothing leeches in right, but the community wells are pumping so much water that it is a their influence in an area that is enveloping that that buffer zone. There's a there's a rigorous, you know, communication between the land use within the 400 feet and that community well, whereas a private well is is like taking you know, you got to think of orders of magnitude in terms of the area of influence of a private well that it is only taking a few hundred gallons a day versus millions of gallons a day. It's more like it just the 100 foot is more, you know, is is has a history of being protective of the private wells of known contaminate sources which I mentioned tanks septic systems. So that's why that's a. That's a no brainer number to use for private wells. Yeah, good. Okay, Bob and then let's just real quickly, Janet said it's relatively insignificant 30, 100 square foot buffer is 31,000 square feet, a 400 foot pepper is 500,000 square feet. It's a significant difference. All right, so good. So, is that give you sort of for this for this stormwater area. Give you the feedback we need. You need this. That's good. Yep. Thank you. Right. Martha and then we'll. Yeah, so Dwayne and they and these next two minutes then we really need to think hard and get organized. It seems to me that the things we covered today that that first, you know, if you've either taken good notes or listened to the recording or something you'd be able to incorporate the comments today pretty much and then as soon as you can send it around a draft for people to look at in advance of the meeting. So it seems then we have several things are charge for this committee was not just to draft the bylaw, but it was also to look at the, look at the maps make recommendations of where we thought that the solar was most appropriate, and then also to write a sort of a report quote guidance and direction and et cetera, et cetera, as was mentioned today, like direction to the planning board or ZBA and so on. And here it is September 15. You're going to be away October 6. This is due. How are we going to get there from here. I think I think before public comments. Yeah. Yeah. I would take some guidance from Chris and Stephanie with regard to the other deliverables. You know I think the main focus is the is the draft bylaw recommend recommendations for the council and the manager. I've always been a little bit reluctant to start drawing preferences on a map myself. But, but I guess we'll need to address those issues and wouldn't mind hearing from Stephanie or Chris on that. But Janet first. Sorry, I'm muted myself. I raised this issue a year ago about what our charges and so I don't think they, I think we can do the rest of the things I don't know if we can do it by October 6 I'd be happy to do a first draft. And we're supposed to, you know, what are the community values and I think that would be easy, you know, based on the survey and, you know, I feel like you look at Amherst and you can literally physically see the community values. You know, the solar survey gives the priority locations. You know, we have all this expensive mapping that we did, and you know where the, where are the places for you know large scale solar or whatever you know and so we have some mystery areas which other universities and colleges, which actually have the largest areas but I think that information is also around but I'd be happy to sort of do an outline, providing those things and getting it done it doesn't, you know, I don't have to always put the burden on Chris and Stephanie who seemed beyond busy. You know, we have firepower here and you know, putting together a report or a summary and having people comment on is, you know, straight in my wheelhouse in terms of what I can do. I wasn't suggesting that Steph, we would burden Stephanie or Chris with that but just their take on what, what. The town council's charges really clear and it repeats it over and over again. Do we need, I mean, is there any lack of clarity when you read the charge but what we're supposed to do, you know, I mean, there is some I mean to some extent in terms of the mapping I, I don't want to put, you know, draw my preferences or even the committee's preferences of where we think solar should go. I definitely view that the work that Gza did on our behalf and the town's behalf I should say is really where we would want to go with with regard to that deliverable, as well as their, they did a write up already of the, of the survey results and so forth. So that could be, we could write up a memo around that and with that as sort of the appendices as the, as part of the deliverable. But I wouldn't mind getting just Stephanie and Chris is any your thoughts you have in terms of guidance of what we might put together on those other deliverables. May I speak. Yeah, please. I think, you know, we have a map, we have that interactive map and that gives us a lot of information about where solar is feasible. It's, and we have zoning and I had sent a chart showing how solar could be permitted in various zoning districts we haven't looked at it yet but essentially it's special permit everywhere except for I think the PRP zoning district. So, I feel like we don't actually need a map that shows that we prioritize solar in this location and we forbid it in some other location. I think there are a lot of unknowns. And if we have, you know, the zoning by law set up to require the zoning board of appeals to review most solar installations and we have five that have been approved so far and as far as I know we haven't had trouble with them. One of them is being constructed now, but you know, I feel like the zoning board is pretty capable of reviewing these things and I don't really think that we have to have a map that shows here we want them here we don't want them. I think that there are so many unknowns. The solar developers, you know, have a lot of criteria that we don't necessarily, you know, we're not privy to. And if we want solar to happen in Amherst, I don't think we should put too many restrictions on it. So, the map that we have is a resource for everybody. It's a resource for the boards and committees and for citizens as well as solar developers, but I don't think we should put together a map that says here and not here. Okay, let me, I do want to give the public their, their opportunity so let me suggest and anybody who wants to sort of put together some thoughts and outlines of what these other reports might look like I would agree with Chris I think we have the material. It's more writing a memo around them. If anybody wants to offer to do that or work on that we can, we can look at that at our at our next meeting and discuss in earnest how we're going to get get over the finish line on that as well. I do want to hear from the attendees here so hopefully we will be meeting twice more. And we'll work on that scheduling with so look out for Stephanie's doodle poll coming up. Okay, let me. Anybody from the attendees, and I'll say we have 11 for the record listening now. Anybody would who wants to make a comment if you can raise your hand and then Stephanie can unmute you. I thought you can go ahead and unmute yourself. Okay, thank you. A couple comments. One in regards to the threshold for compensatory mitigation for impacts to forest land. If the, if the threshold is 10 acres. I suspect that you're going to get a lot of 9.9 acre projects. There's two implications of that one is, does the bylaw need to clarify that the 10 acre threshold is a cumulative total per property. So that you don't have a 9.9 acre project and then a year later you have another 9.9 acre project, you know, on the same property right next door. And then the other is, does having a bunch of 9.9 acre projects that don't have to provide compensatory mitigation undermine the objective of, of what the town is trying to do here. So that might be a reason for lowering the threshold, but that's something to consider. And the other thing that I wanted to bring up was the issue of criteria for mitigation land. And one thing that I've seen a lot is, you know, there's sort of a concentric circles. And so, you know, ideally, the mitigation would be within the town that if that's not possible, then what's frequently used is within the same watershed. And if that's not possible, you know, then it would be further out. Oftentimes, when you get into that scenario, the mitigation ratio increases. So, there's sort of a tiered approach if you had two to one for mitigation in the town. Maybe it's, you know, two and a half or three to one for mitigation in the same watershed and four to one if it's further out but I do think it's important to establish criteria for the mitigation land. Well, thanks Scott. All right, anybody, any other public comments and unusually bashful group. Okay. Let me just mention, I think Scott makes a good point. I, as he was saying that we could, we could have another way to slices maybe five to 10 acres you need to do one to one five to 10 acres or 10 or more acres you need to do to two to one. But I get his point also in terms of whether it should be a multiplier depending on how proximate it is to the town. So things we can take up. I'm not sure if Scott is raising his hand again or is this holdover from before. Oh, come on. That was a holdover from before. Sorry. Thanks Scott. Janet Keller. Yeah, I just wanted to say one thing, which is that it would be important to factor in what we've learned about extreme weather. This year into all of these deliberations and particularly in protecting downstream properties from the erosion. And I would think it would be good to look at how many households are actually in the path of the runoff from from obviously the one that's being permitted now, but some of the other obvious places. Thanks. Right. Thank you, Janet. Okay. Any other public comment. We have one more. Sorry. Two more now. So, okay. Jenny, yeah. Hello, everybody. Thank you. That was a great session to circle back to community engagement. I believe the engage Amherst website still has solar bylaw there from the survey. Stephanie can help us maybe understand that. Except for the group who has been enjoying all these sessions, the rest of the community doesn't realize that the draft is almost finished. Could we consider either posting the draft for the whole community to have a look. Or have a link to your last session. So the same people who participated in the survey and beyond that could have an opportunity to send you. The comments and weigh in so that the charge that the community values and point of view be incorporated could have full circle as you're finishing your work. So just the suggestion of giving a broader information to a larger community. Other than our little group who's been following you with great devotion. Would know that the draft is about to be finished. Thank you everybody for all the great work and devotion to that. We appreciate it. Thank you, Jenny. Good afternoon. This is Steve Roof from South Amherst speaking for myself. I just wanted to raise one issue I know it was raised in your meetings by some of your members. Just remember that protecting lands from solar is not the same as protecting lands. I think you've had discussion before about the perverse incentives and the danger that if you make it difficult or impossible to develop solar on some lands. Landowners may develop that in other ways. So as you go through and finalize your, your restrictions on solar development. Just keep in mind that perverse incentive concept so you don't inadvertently cause worse developments than solar. It's not the great work. I'm rooting for you to finish by your deadline. Thanks Steve. Renee Moss. Yeah. Hi. Renee Moss. She's very road. Once again, thank you for all your hard work and we know this is, I just want to make one comment not specific to any one thing that was discussed today but many of us and I thank you Dwayne so much for your department putting on these, these sessions about solar and many of us have spent many zoom hours after only two sessions I think seven hours the other day with everything going on I was on for nine hours but these sessions, I think, and I know I've seen some of you on these sessions have been so helpful and so informative and really rolling out what the Healy administration what scientists are seeing as 2023 science. And I feel like what is rising to the surface, no pun intended, of these sessions is that we really need to try to avoid developing solar as much as possible on forested land. And I feel like when we don't pay attention to this word we're applying 2018 science to what we're trying to plan for 2023. The upside of Amherst not having a solar bylaw is that we now have the opportunity to use 2023 science as the basis for a bylaw that we develop. And, you know, I just think, you know, we sit through, you know, hours and hours of these sessions with all these fabulous presentations, and they feel like we come here and a lot of that is ignored. So I hope that what we're learning at this moment in time we're at a pivotal moment in time a tipping point where the science is looking is different. We really need to embody this into our bylaw and make the best use of what we know now, not what we do in 2018 or 2017. So thank you for your hard work and I hope you will incorporate all this amazing stuff and particularly Dwayne I want to thank you for this for these four Tuesdays they're there they're fantastic I just feel like I'm learning so much. Thank you. Appreciate that Renee thank you. The sessions are excellent I am halfway through the first one and I saw the second one just amazing. Is it really a stellar crew. The second one is is particularly relevant for our work and so to our members if you haven't listened to that it's it's worth going back and listening to the recording. Okay. Seeing no more comments from the public and that we are right on time. So everybody great progress, a lot still in front of us. Let's plan to make similar progress in the next two hopefully sessions that we can schedule and apologize. Because I know Stephanie will most likely not be able to find a time that works for all of us. And so we're going to have to work through that in some way, but do respond to Stephanie quickly so we can get these on our schedules as soon as we can. Okay. All right, and to Stephanie and Chris thank you so much for your dedication work. I know you both are so busy on so many different things. Okay. Okay, have a good rest of the afternoon and a weekend. Yep. Thank you. Thank you.

Please go ahead and buy tickets for our next show We have a bunch of good shows actually we have two shows in August if you guys like pinball You should absolutely go to our second August show at the Shabo Center at the Shabo Center We actually have classic pinball games. We have someone talking about the science of pinball We have people talking about why humans automate the world and finally there used to be this really big amusement park Down at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, which some people don't know about but it was like one of the biggest in the country We're gonna have someone talking about the history of that amusement park And it's actually a really really cool talk if you want to get tickets for that right down there as well You also get to play classic video or classic pinball games from the 1920s all the way through the 1990s for free with your ticket It's actually a really awesome event Hey, we're killing it September 25th We have an event where we have tracking lucid animals with technology So how do you find animals that are really hard to track?

How can you find out about these great events while sitting at home on your computer? You should totally join our Facebook page join our Facebook page We post like a couple times a month and we post all the events. We invite you to these events You can also get on our Winners for a future show. We're usually a little less crowded than this, but screw it. This is a good thing. We love having a giant crowd This is great So first talk So Kurt Cole says gonna talk about regional design wonders of the world Kurt works with 99 PI he works with web urbanists and so a lot of what they talk about is Good design There's lots of bad design So this was used back in the say no to drugs era in the 1990s Too cool to do drugs cool to do drugs Do drugs drugs, right? Probably increase the rate of drug use while doing your homework or taking notes about your dealer. I Saw this shirt in Target not that long ago Ironically by going for that late 80s nostalgia. They actually created a perfect t-shirt for 2017 If you Here's the ball that they gave the golf ball. They gave two members of the armed forces You better be really good at golf to find your ball so sometimes Sometimes bad design just comes about because you had good ideas and you just you put them you put them too close together I'm a guy guys are not cool with this. Trust me We don't like to use any urinal when there's a guy at any other urinal. This is not cool at all That looks like a really I'm pro bike lane. I'm not pro that bike lane for example So sometimes bad design comes about because you take various components and you try to fit them together in a way that Doesn't quite work So like here we have kind of hard to see but like here. We have a projector and a fan and Neither one of those things is a function function effectively. I'm guessing dude. You had one job Um, here's the advertising campaign for the new I love my cat frame You had one job Sometimes bad design comes about could you try to just get too much information into a little place? This is a real thing This is like basically a hard a non-functional hardware store all stuck together in one of these things that all of them are Unusable also we have an actual street light. This is an actual street light So I guess when you're driving this road, you're like, all right, I got two goes I got five reds. No six man sort of seven reds and I got a caution I'm pretty sure this is just a caution when you really think about it. This is like you see this You should probably just slow down Good design is a good thing Hey guys, uh, be careful out there. Okay, it's it's it's important To talk about good design, please welcome Kurt Kohlsted. How are y'all doing tonight? Thanks for coming out and thank you Scott and their night for having me as He mentioned I'm Kurt Kohlsted from 99% invisible Louder I can do louder All right, how about this testing one two all right so as Scott mentioned I work for 99% invisible and We're a show about all the thought that goes into the things that we don't think about We produce podcasts, but we also produce articles and videos And I also run a site called Web Urbanist, which Covers urban art architecture and design and it actually just turned 10 years old last month. So It's kind of long for like the internet at least So tonight I'm going to give you a bit of a window into how 99 PI turned story ideas into actual stories and Also cover a number of good for the most part regional designs that we've covered at 99 PI so a Few years ago. I started pestering 99% invisibles founder and host Roman Mars. Oh Yeah, thanks About basically redoing the show's website and adding more web content to the mix and while this wasn't my intention at all To my surprise. He actually asked me to join the team and make it happen So I moved out here to beautiful downtown, Oakland, California And I joined the team and I spearheaded the redesign project and this is the redesign site You can see up on the screen and now I work on stories of all kinds as well and One of the things I do for for 99 PI is is make all the or a lot of the web companion content for each episode and I could also say that so I've been out here for a few years now and it's been a real pleasure to learn a lot from my Storytelling colleagues coming from a web background I've I've definitely Picked up a lot that I did not know before So before I joined 99% invisible. I really had no idea how they put an amazing radio story together I knew it was hard But coming from a print or sort of web background. I really had no clue Every story is different, but this graphic gives you a sense of the scale and the number of steps. It's an iterative process Lots of production and editing steps from ideation to publication and at key stages along the way It goes from being a solo effort to a big group at it and We have sort of team meetings to review the piece as we go and Towards the end we have sound checks and final listens and things and then we build this companion where we put in videos and links and all this other supplemental material to go with it and And I'm biased, but I think those I think those companions are often pretty good And they're definitely worth checking out especially for the more visual stories that we do Where you might not get quite everything from just the episode alone. Oh Yeah, and we eat a ton of I don't know if you can read this or not But there's a lot of eating at Pakistani buffet up here, and that's that's true. That's entirely true Yeah, oh which one I'll tell you after So While it's definitely still a challenging thing to do Writing pieces for the website compared to creating episodes is actually a little bit more straightforward You know we picture story write it up add media add links review and publish Some of these articles tackle in-depth subjects like adaptive reuse in suburban America like this one I was that it was gonna be the start of something more And eventually that a whole series of these would come together and become Actually the basis for an episode So I encountered this bit of everyday engineering decades ago actually as a kid living in Bayreuth, Germany And I was honestly a little bit hesitant about even pitching it as a story for nine MPI it's called the tilt and turn window and It's just a window and it's kind of old news to a lot of Europeans So I wasn't quite sure if it was enough on its own, but I I was so also sort of obsessed with it and It's so practical and multifunctional That I just figured I should I'd give it a shot You know see what the audience thought and I didn't realize this at the time But this would actually start a much bigger obsession with these regional designs so the tilt and turn window is three windows and one and And So when you took I'm gonna have to put some stuff down so I can demonstrate with my arms here, but when you When you rotate the handle to the closed position, it's a closed window When you tilt it sideways you can pull it all the way open towards you again You know some windows do that but the magic trick is when you close it and you rotate the handle upward You can pull it down towards you and it sits there to tilt So Effectively it becomes a security window in that configuration, but it can also be an egress window if you need to get out It can also flip around entirely and become an awning on the outside that deflects rain And they make big versions of this too, right? You can see in the lower right that are actually entire doors So you can take you kind of a back door that you just tilt for breezes or tilt it open And I thought this was a nice thing. I was a surprisingly big hit I'll be it with a divided reaction some folks were amazed that this thing exists field something interesting to me We all just assumed that a good Design object is going to make its way around the world on its own But that's not always the case And it makes me think maybe just maybe I could like write an article about Those really neat omnidirectional wheels that they still have on shopping carts in Germany that we still don't have here for some reason Anyway, that's another story technical difficulties You can Try to make birds or something. I'll be here all night. Sure thing all right, um So I really had no idea that this tilt-in-turn thing was gonna be a hit I had no idea it was gonna become something bigger And eventually end up being part of a full episode. I Kind of just figured Look there we go So as as Roman said on this tweet, I mean it turns out people have strong feelings about Windows who would have thought And I thought I was just gonna kind of in there But then I got this email from a guy named Anton Hagueman Who wrote in from well not from Finland, but he's a finished guy. He wrote in about dish drying cabinets as students cuis was copying if there's finished people in the audience. I'm sorry I think that was close though. So he writes being finished. There are many designers and designs I can be proud of especially in architecture and furniture design But there is one finished design that I'm more proud of than any other the dish straining closet these specialized cupboards sit over sinks and Slots in their shelves Allow the dishes to drain See if I can see there's slots in the bottom that allow dishes to drain directly into the sink and These are neat for a lot of reasons, right? I mean They save time and energy that you'd spend normally drying your dishes before putting them away And they eliminate the clutter of sink side dish racks They also let people skip a step going straight from the sink to the cover It's super low-tech, but it's neat. It's ego-friendly and it solves a bunch of little everyday problems So this little bad boy the original one was actually designed by Louise Kraus in the 1930s in the United States, but it actually didn't take off here for whatever reason in Finland though a Version was developed independently by Mayu Gebbard in the 1940s. That's her right there hers For the Finnish Association for Work Efficiency, and it was a huge success Over time older versions built with wood have been replaced with newer ones that have metal and plastic But her basic design is widely used in Finnish kitchens to this day And Anson says this is a quintessentially Finnish invention being practical unobtrusive and cheap But when he moved abroad he found himself missing this design. He lamented to me in an email Now I have to dry my dishes on a rack that sits on the counter like a barbarian By the way, Ikea actually sells these, but I'm not sure if they're available in the United States Yeah So as with the tilt and turn we got a positive reaction to this piece and there seemed to be this sort of pattern of interest forming around these everyday regional design objects so I put a call out onto Twitter for more and Twitter user PD Thorn Responded with the Japanese kotatsu table a special table that doubles as a heating fixture These tables have historically been particularly useful in Japan where home insulation is often sparse and whole home heating is difficult and expensive Underneath these tables is a small space heater below that solid top that you see there's that cloth that cover that spreads out and can be pulled up as a blanket for people sitting around the table and Traditional Japanese clothing, which is very loose Lends itself especially well to this kind of space heating because the heat travels up through your kimono and out through the neck and the arm holes Yes, the katatsu table. Um, I could I just couldn't resist So the device has a really long lineage to tracing back to the 14th century with these in-floor cooking stoves Originally hot coals on the thought that we were used on the floor as a heating source for food and then they were used for rooms over time that heating source got moved up so that it was part of the table and And then it became electric of course over the last century reduced game fire risk So in addition to saving money and energy Through heating efficiency these non-fixed furnishings can be moved around too, which is kind of neat Right a wall fire place is stuck in place, but this thing you can move around And it also means you can gather around it right you can you and your friends can kind of you know Make a full circle around it and interact over the table versus sort of being stuck facing the wall and It's not totally unique to Japan There's other versions to there's a the Iranian coursey in the Spanish brazeiro as well as some less sophisticated Footsteps that never really took off in England in the United States And while you might not get much use for this thing in the Bay Area They'd be really great for places like upstate New York and Minnesota where I come from so and another fan Also responded on Twitter. Alyssa Stevens Responded to this request for additional regional designs and she pointed me to the Hills Rotary Hoist Now the Hills Hoist is an iconic rotating clothes line loaded with both functional and cultural significance The device is a quintessential part of the suburban Australian dream Alyssa says and she's not joking that a dream house on a quarter acre lot with a big backyard would actually be incomplete without a Hills Hoist and While it still serves to dry clothes the device has evolved to do way more than that over time so first a little history on this thing the Hills Hoist was developed by an Australian War veteran in the 1940s for use in his own backyard and as the story goes his neighbors really liked it and he overheard them talking about it and When when you figured like oh, maybe there's a commercial potential of this thing. He decided to try to sell them So he acquired some metal tubing that had been used underneath the Sydney Harbor Bridge to catch submarines in World War two and Turned it into a bunch of these Hills Hoists and started selling them and it went on to be a huge success It was a really big hit in the post-war era with suburban expansion and now the company sells millions of these things every year and The Hills Hoist is actually listed as a national treasure by the National Library of Australia It has appeared in museums on stamps and even on the logo of this expat rugby team the Hammersmith Hills Hoist So yeah, there's actually a rugby team in West London that that uses these things as their icon. It's kind of amazing So as a kid Alyssa would play a game eating donuts from her family's Hills Hoist Where you quote hold your hands behind your back and eat as fast as you can whoever finishes first wins Although with donuts, everyone wins, right? I totally agree and that's not the only kind of weird use for these things either so For example kids will actually parents will actually rig up swings for their kids on these things Kids also use them as frameworks for blanket forts There's even a drinking game which you can see the lower right called goon of fortune Inspired by a wheel of fortune that involves hanging bags of what wine on the lines and then giving them a spin When the bag comes to a stop if it stops in front of you you have to drink So owners also drape shade structures over these things which is really handy for a hot Australian summer and So children teens adults people of all ages seem to have find creative uses for this design object Alyssa's own family's hoist is a new improved version to they dug up their old one some years ago and replaced it with a Modern one that can actually be folded down and taken out of the ground and collapsed and other things so One of the fun things about a piece like this is the reactions you get to it after you publish Alyssa and other people just keep sending me stories and pictures about the hills hoist rounding out my understanding of its everyday uses and its uses on special occasions and So I've learned about people suspending chickens You can't really see this in the image, but those are chickens hanging from a hills hoist over a fire that's been set below it Yeah, it's kind of crazy And So they they'll do you know the user for backyard cookouts There's a kangaroo Lying under one down here. So, you know kangaroos could find shade there, too Not just humans and this of course on the right is my favorite one of all which is kangaroo rescuers Hanging an orphan Joey in a sack You know, I mean, it's just I don't know that gets me And at the end of the day with all of these things what's remarkable isn't so much the original design, right? It's not it's not how it works to hang clothing. It's all these other uses. It gets adapted to And then the same thing for some other regional science, too it's just like it's the way that we adapt these things that are all around us in the built environment and Appropriate them and you know, give them new uses. That's really kind of meaningful and interesting And the more I see of this one the more I just really want to backyard just so I can have a hills hoist to stick in it So earlier I mentioned all this becoming something bigger and turning into an episode And the way this came together is a good example of just how differently different episodes end up getting made Initial ideas can come from a lot of places But most finished episodes go, you know end up revolving around a single subject or a designed object that ties that entire narrative together And this one was a little bit different. In this case We started tossing around the idea of doing an episode based on an array of fan suggested ideas Including some of the regional designs I talked about tonight, and we ended up calling it you should do a story Naming it after an office slack channel that we use to pool ideas that listeners give us For episodes and articles. I love this one Yeah, so it's so like taking a desire path, right a shortcut You know the kind of path of desire which is another topic we get suggested a lot Um We followed fan ideas to see where that would lead us for this episode and that resulting that resulting You should do a story episode featured an array of suggestions From various outside sources through friends in person at live shows by email and via social media And I could tell you a lot about desire paths to Which were the subject of my actually my very first 90% invisible article of all things But I will let you read that about about that on the website instead and And tonight Tonight it all comes full circle Scott from Nerd Knight heard the episode reached out and asked me to come and talk about regional designs So here I am and if you have any ideas for us or for me feel free to tweet at me Kurt Colstead or To contact us at 99pi org slash contacts. Thank you all so much for having me. Yes questions All right. He asked what the worst regional designs that I've ever seen I feel like most of those are like really bad American designs Hermetically sealed buildings are definitely like toward the top of that Like let's just close off the building and spend lots of energy and time and money like Trying to make it what we want it just doesn't work out that well. Um, good question Yeah Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, actually that's oh Sorry, though the question was are there how do designers feel about these kinds of desire paths and are there cases when They actually, you know, take those into consideration and there are absolutely some really good examples of Desire paths becoming real paths. One of those is College campuses will often lay out a very basic grid and then they'll see where people walk across the campus and pave that which Makes a lot of sense, right? And the this kind of bigger design lesson of that to me is like You shouldn't over design, right? You should see, you know try to design the bane the bare minimum And then come in later and like see where you can infill those gaps There's also a phenomena in Finland where the park designers will do this with with parks in the winter They'll see where people walk through the snow and they'll map that out and then when the summer comes, they'll pave those paths. Oh Yes, oh Talk about crappy regional designs I could have been I could answer two questions with one here The German inspection toilet that they're that that comment was referring to I'm also quite familiar with so in Germany There's like a shelf Like like the I don't know how to describe this it's like instead of just having there be a hole in the middle of the toilet They move the whole forward and they have a shelf in the back part And I will my understanding is that these are for energy or for water efficiency So they use less water, but they end up also being requiring more cleaning and There's a there's a there's like a German joke about like having to to like look at your crap before you You know flush the toilet, and I don't know it's a whole cultural phenomena, and I Have never understood it, and I definitely never wanted one questions Let's hear it for Kurt Two quick notes. We're gonna take about a ten minute break And if you're playing our intro game with a little model, please hand it to Anne-Marie in the back of the room So you can be judged. Thanks so much Luckily, I had nerdier people here to help me fail at that So our next speaker is gonna talk about the Black Panthers By before I talk about that. Does anybody know what this is supposed to be? Anybody? I made this poster. It's a Voigt-Kampf machine Voigt-Kampf. Thank you. I needed someone to get the joke. It's from Blade Runner. It tells if you're a replicant or not It's my little visual joke that nobody got So the Black Panthers No, all right. Usually I go here, but I'm not gonna talk about the comic books Even though there are many amazing women in the Black Panther comics This is what our speaker is going to be talking about the women of the Black Panther Party and When I was a teacher in Brooklyn, I was teaching fifth grade and one of my students for her African-American History Black History Month biography wanted to do a biography of Angela Davis. And so I asked her why What interests you about Angela Davis and she said To be honest, I don't know anything about her except she had a big beautiful afro And I thought that's a very good reason to write a biography of someone and that's kind of what I wanted to talk about to introduce Robin's presentation The civil rights movement of the 1950s was a lot about Respectability in appearance by white standards women tended to wear their hair Straightened or relaxed men tended to wear close cropped. This was very deliberate and intentional Because they recognized that their message was radical enough They didn't need their appearance to be off-putting to those moderate whites who would be crucial If they were going to succeed they would need their allyship But by the late 60s There was some rebellion against this approach and that really came to fruition with the Black Panther Party and the Black Power movement which embraced natural hair and the afro maybe others feel differently to me the afro Has lost some of its political context But back then it was a very radical way for people to wear their hair Which is phenomenal when you think about it because it's the way black people's hair naturally grows But it was considered a really radical statement and it was unisex men and women wore afros and it was a symbol of the Black is beautiful movement and a rejection not only of white supremacy and the white beauty standards Which had been imposed on african-americans since the first Africans were brought to America, but also rejection of those respectability politics of the previous generation so Pretty quickly This took off. You can see here is Jesse Jackson in 1967 he's got his number one cut and then a couple years later After dr. King's death. He let it all hang out and That's pretty symbolic of where the movement was going but also the haircut you just became very popular the hairstyle made its way into popular culture you had black exploitation movies and Celebrities entertainers like Richard Pryor in these cases It's starting to lose its political edge, but it's still being associated with black pride and black power confidence and Embracing one's blackness because it's a hairstyle that only black people can have really but then by the early 70s You start to see you know Family-friendly pop groups and even McDonald's ads with some afro action going on so you might Think as I would looking at these images that the afro had lost all of its political associations and was now just a funky young hip hairstyle, but In 1971 The same year as this reporter Melva Tolliver was fired from in a news affiliate I want to say ABC affiliate For wearing an afro to cover Trisha Nixon's wedding So she was literally fired from her job for wearing her own hair the way it grows out of her head and It's a pretty mild afro and all of a sudden done But you can see that even as the hairstyle became really popular and was everywhere including McDonald's ads It was still making white people extremely uncomfortable so by the 1980s The afro really went out of style. You didn't see it too much But it sort of had a comeback in the last 10 or 15 years both as a like retro style and as a political statement and Just as the natural hair movement has really come into its own and People are exploring more options for how to wear their hair But I found this really interesting this is from 2008 It's the New Yorker cover showing the Obama's depicted as hysterical right-wing media would have you believe they are right full of stereotypes and I think it's notable that Michelle Obama is depicted with an afro to Signify how frightening she is to white people Even though she's the last person in the world who would have one She she wears her hair very straightened So is afro still a political statement, this is 2008 it's making reference to the black power movement It's a joke. I don't know but I Would say it pretty much still is when a black person Unless I'm grading them There will be no grades tonight We're just gonna talk a little bit about the history of women in the Black Panther Party I'll talk to you about The book I've written on the topic and the way in which many historians have talked about and research this important history How people are recovering this history in this Black Lives Matter? Movement moment that we're going through today with the resurgence of Organizing around state violence In a contemporary sense, so we're gonna look back through the lens of history and see What we can learn right and especially we want to highlight and foreground the reality that when we talk about the Black Panther Party We're oftentimes talking about women even though we may not Say it know it acknowledge it etc Sure So I wanted to start off with some personal history. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York and I came out here for the first time to the Bay Area for the Black Panther Party's 30th anniversary reunion in 1996 so these are some pictures of the 26 year old me who came out here to the Bay Area That was a particularly important moment in my life. I learned how to drive I did not learn how to drive before then I was told I couldn't survive out here Without having a car. There was no the public transportation wouldn't take me everywhere. I needed to go So I learned how to drive. I came out here and I started to Meet people who were former panther. This is a picture of me and Keelu Nyasha who was a former panther She's actually a radio journalist. She lives in San Francisco, and I met with other Graduate students and other folks who were also Researching and writing about the history of the Black Panther Party and you can see that in that image over there I also got a chance to meet some leaders of the Black Panther Party at the time I got a chance to meet Bobby seal. There was a big reunion that was happening out here where some panthers came together David Hillier to Lane Brown Bobby seal Kathleen Cleaver Erica Huggins Hopefully these are familiar names to my Bay Area audience, right? So I met Bobby seal and he actually made me barbecue and he actually had a cookbook that came out after that Barbecueing with Bobby. I Got a chance to meet his now late brother John seal who's passed away Who still lived over there by Merritt College and when I met Bobby, he said that he was going to be interviewed For a documentary and he invited me along. So this was like outside of my wedding and having my daughter This was like the third best day of my life. I Got the chance to spend the whole day with Bobby seal and the purpose of the day was to go around to different sites Where the Black Panther Party had had major events activities Historical moments and he recreated them so I wanted to share some of that video of footage from that time because it really gives us a strong sense of What the organization was about in this time period because I think sometimes we forget, right? We forget the radicalism of the time and we forget Just how significant it was how bold they were at the time. So I want to just play a clip from this video Here's Bobby seal Talking about the first time that him and Huey Newton Patrol the police with their legally carried firearms their law books and their tape recorders at the time Now the funny thing about the clip is that you will see me kind of wandering in and out of the clip looking kind of clueless The director told me to that they wanted to have it seem like Bobby seal was telling the story to somebody So you'll notice. I'm also wearing that same red shirt. It was you know, I was here for like two months with you know one carry on so That what sure got a lot of action at the time That night we had been patrolling batch tool sits up on Telegraph Avenue for some 10 of 15 blocks He turned off at the street around the corner here And then when we got to that street two blocks later behind him came down the street He was sitting under the stop sign with his lights off So we say there that cop and so we turn in front of him as we turn in front of him He flashed his headlights on his high beams on and that's why I'm holding a shotgun. You can see it through the window I'm holding to his shotgun in my left hand. We turn around and come down this street Well, the police's light is suddenly behind us and flashing Huey, I says Huey, he's flashed his light. We might as well stop and he says no no no I'm gonna test the law. I could be colorblind. He says and I says, okay He says let him turn his siren on so as he came now He bleeped his siren and Huey stops right about here and the police officer's front of his car was stopped here and suddenly as We stopped when that's we just gonna give license, but the cop gets out of his car Hold the hell you goddamn niggas. Thank you. I get out of that car with them God damn got get out of that goddamn car and the cop came up and grabbed our door Snatched it open retching across Huey to attempt to grab Huey's shotgun But I was holding she was shotgun because Huey is driving. I'm pulling back Huey hits the cop Lil Bobby Hutton's in the back seat He tries to hit the cop with the butt of his gun and then Huey gets his feet out and kicks the cop out grabs his gun I come around the front with the 45 Lil Bobby Hutton goes to the back of our car with his M1 Huey is out The cop is stumbling back wanting to go for his gun Huey says go for it and I'll blow your brains out I'm over here and I says you come up here from Tallahassee cut shoot wind come from 10 miles north of Mew Creek Junction thinking you go brutalize us in our black community You gonna get your ass killed out here. You racist son of a bitch Black folks are coming out of this house The cop says come on out folks come on out folks the niggas got too many guns now These are black folks this white cop is saying come on out folks the niggas got too many guns the assistant DA comes up and Finally pulls batch 206 to the side and tells batch 206 The guns illegal the guns illegal you can't you really can't arrest him and batch 206 is fuming We got to do something. We got to do something so batch 206 walks up to my car and He sees my license plate hanging there But I have a coat hanger through the hose to make my license plate attached to the bumper So it begins to write me a ticket With a license plate being on with a coat hanger and I take the ticket the cops leave We give a speech to the people that we organize the community on patrol these racist police out here They've been brutalizing our people in the community, etc. Now. We're about what at best March We started the party in October for five months old at that time We've been patrolling police with illegal guns law books Tape recorders the batch 206 that night when he attempted to do that he almost got killed But just because we were disciplined in the methodology is the reason because it was not Emotionalism so much as we were trying to capture the imagination of the people to let them see some disciplined people young black men in our Community ready to defend ourselves from some burly racist cop and just like our towing You know you bring your ass down here from the Tallahassee cut shoot wind come from ten miles north of mule Creek Junction thinking you won't brutalize us brutalize us black for well. I guess that's shocked this cop The problem was that these guns were in the hands of I'm gonna pause there We should give that a round of applause. I think the amazing part is when we when we look at that moment and from our 2017 eyes and we think about the history of so many people who were unarmed who were killed by the police for far less It gives you a sense of how the Black Panther Party utilized the law They knew that they were operating within the law when they were carrying their weapons after they were founded in 1966 here in Oakland. It was legal to carry weapons openly under certain circumstances They learn what those circumstances were and they executed That position you also get the sense from the video that in a real sense They were trying to capture the political imagination of the people, right? It was about political theater. It was about Capturing the hearts and minds as we might say today and Allowing people to imagine that they could stand up that they could survive Confrontations with the police with the state in a larger sense and live to fight another day So when the Black Panther Party started in Oakland, California In October of 1966 They were initially an all-male organization Right here in Newton and Bobby seal were the founders of the organization and even though their literature Spoke to brothers and sisters on the block men and women Organizing themselves standing up the way that they recruited they went to pool harl Halls They went to street corners. Those were the people that they attracted, but soon enough women began to join the organization They felt that the Black Panthers had an open ethos around gender roles and they were willing to come into the organization and struggle For their rights within the larger liberation movement so Despite that despite the fact that the Black Panther Party would be eventually at its height over 50% women So when we think about everything the Black Panther Party did including these patrols and things like that We have to see women's faces there Despite the fact that that is the reality that is oftentimes not what we see when we imagine What the Black Panther Party looked like? So these are the dominant images here of what the Black Panther Party looked like in the popular Imagination and you'll notice that not only are these images of men Right, there are also images that don't depict the kind of political work that being a member of the Black Panther Party Required right there are images of men who are Marching they are posturing they are wearing uniforms Certainly being a member of the Black Panther Party meant that but that was a small fraction of what people in the organization did And when you remember the Black Panther Party this way, it really leaves a distorted legacy This is an image of Huey Newton here Sitting in the wicker chair, which was very iconic Right, he created this image and it became a poster that went all around the world Depicting this ideal of strength opposition, etc. And hip-hop artist Nas Recreated this image for the pages of Vibe magazine and this image has been recreated again and again and again As a hallmark of what the Black Panther Party was about again very symbolic Very short on substance, right? This isn't tell us anything about the political work This isn't tell us anything about the ideals the activities, etc. Etc. Which brings us to Audre Lorde, right? So Audre Lorde talked about the difference between substance and symbolism and how this particularly played a role in Black women's lives, right? We started out talking about aphoros and the symbolism of aphoros and How they challenged the political norms and they challenged the beauty culture of the time then When they were initially created and popularized in the 60s and 70s and even today, right? So Audre Lorde basically reminds us that for black women, it's about creating an alternative Reality that acknowledges our their presence really it was a way for women of African descent to Write their own stories, right? Because with the acknowledgement that if they don't write their stories Who else will write their stories, right? If they don't write their stories, they'll either be left out or their stories will be Warped which brings us to Beyonce So All of us many of us saw the Super Bowl When Beyonce showed out there and did an amazing Super Bowl performance which captured people's Imagination in a new way, right? It captured people's imagination because it called up this history of the 1960s So on the one hand, you had many people critical of this image saying what is this what's going on at the Super Bowl? This is all American entertainment quote unquote What's going on here? Who are these black militants? What is she calling up this violent organization? And then you have other people saying but wait I Was in the Black Panther Party. I was a woman. I was a man. I didn't see women doing these things looking this way right, certainly, this is not what Black Panther womanhood looked like as much as it created a space for dialogue and openness and curiosity around what Black Panther Party womanhood meant So some actual Black Panther Party women and just for a moment. Are there any Black Panther Party women in this room with us today by any chance? Okay, well, I'm gonna bring some of them to life Through my presentation So this gives you a sense of what women in the Black Panther Party looked like what they did and you see them engage in Political work, right? You see them doing everything from clerical work to work in the Panthers free breakfast program Feeding children. You see them giving speeches You might notice that the audience for the speech is a white audience Giving you a sense that the Black Panthers had many alliances across the racial lines, right? They had a lot of connections with white radicals in Berkeley. They were connected to the student movement in San Francisco They were in a lot of ways Part of the regional uprising and a questioning of the power relations in society at the time They're also registered people to vote the Black Panther Party registered thousands of people to vote here in Oakland, California That is also part of their legacy and somehow that gets forgotten when we think about What Black Panther Party members did and in particular what women did? So I wanted to show some images of Black Panther women actual women so you can see What they what they looked like right and also some compared with some quotations from women who were involved in the Black Panther Party So one woman Brenda Presley talks about I like the fact they appeared to be disciplined and they didn't take any mess from anybody They were really serious It's important to say this because there's this perception that well women joined the Black Panther Party because they wanted to feed children Well, yes But men also joined the Black Panther Party because they wanted to feed children and women joined the Black Panther Party because they Wanted to stand up for themselves and for their communities because they wanted to and felt like militant Beings and felt feeling like they could have that kind of power, right? So we can't pigeonhole Black Panther women Another quote which kind of says that as well that the Black Pants the leather jackets the berets the guns the talk That attracted me The Black Panther Party depicted both men and women through visual art There were many very talented graphic artists who were involved in the Black Panther Party people like Emery Douglas Gala solid Dixon and others who really brought the Black Panthers to life So I wanted to show some of those images because I think that's important to imagine that the Black Panther Party woman was not Just depicted in her actual self, but she was also depicted in art, right? And there was a great exhibit at the Omni Arts Gallery. I believe it's called here In conjunction with the Panthers 50th anniversary, which kind of depicts this so this is a great image because It's about self-defense It's about the Panthers or members of the community fighting back against the police, which are depicted as pigs Now this parlance or this language is still with us today This is something that the Black Panther Party originated again as a symbolic way of verbally Turning the power relations between The community and the police department upside down right by calling the police Pigs and at this time I should say that the pig was under attack from many different sources many people were turning away from eating animals at this time and You have people who were involved in the nation of Islam turning away from pork is in particular So the pig was not welcome on any level in this period another image of Black Panther man and woman this idea that they were united front who were saving the community from the Asks kissing Traditional leaders who were all too willing to operate in conjunction with the police Until the brave Panthers come along and this is so important if we think about today So many people are trying to translate their messages into graphic novels, right? Because that's one way of reaching people and and all of that and the Panthers did all of that at the time I wanted to spend just two minutes on a short clip Which will actually have Panther women talking about the things that they did and the things that they experience And you'll hear them talk about motherhood and what it was like to be a mother and a political activist You'll hear them talk about the political work that they did and you'll hear them talk about the challenges They face including sexism and misogyny from their male counterparts. I was in labor breakfast for breakfast program So I was between contractions I Think we're gonna turn up the volume on this ring the phones even after I had my son when I came back to work And in which case I'll start down really heavy because it just wouldn't stop crying as I'm answering the phone you name it I clean Freezers with a toothpick That's how I dance to the phone black nether party national headquarters like the other party situation orders. Can I help you? Answering the phone. Yes, even after I had my son when I came back to work I used to have to jump them up and down really heavy because it just wouldn't just stop crying as I'm answering the phone You name it. I clean Freezers with a toothpick That's how I dance to the phone black nether party national headquarters black nether party situation orders. Can I help you? When I joined the party, I was thrilled about becoming part of an organization that believes in the equality of men and women It bothers me that there are brothers who still view women as sexual objects We should have no men in the Black Panther Party who feel this way or women for that matter one of the ironies of the Black Panther Party is that the image is The black male with the jacket and the gun But the reality is the majority of the rank and file it by the end of the 60s are women The Black Panther Party certainly had chauvinist tone and so we tried to change some of the Clear gender roles so that women had guns and men cook breakfast for children Did we overcome it? Of course we didn't as I like to say we didn't get these brothers from revolutionary heaven I love showing that clip because it really does kind of give you a strong sense of What the Black Panther Party was about what they did and I think is that sense of work that I want to leave us with Right, we want to imagine that being a member of the Black Panther Party meant doing a certain type of political work It wasn't just something that you did and on a volunteer basis on it. It wasn't something that you That you did part-time right many times people dropped out of high school or college to join the Black Panther Party Sometimes their family disapproved of their Decisions so they lost their family the organization became their new family in this case here in the Bay Area The Panthers bought houses so people were able to live together collectively and all of that Wanted to share this because it really talks about the work the structure the fact that many people who were involved in the organization Were organized, right? We don't want to think about the Black Panther Party having things like letterhead You know that if you wrote to the Black Panther Party as many people did you got a letter back, right? So I wrote you back who did that work who did that clerical work who did that? You know that typing it was the women of the organization who did that but they were also out there on the front lines giving speeches and Really writing the ideology of the organization as well The Black Panther newspaper became one of the most important alternative newspapers in the United States Many people don't know that the Black Panther newspaper was so incredibly popular And if you imagine like I just told you people dropped out of high school in college They did not go around and source graphic arts majors or communication majors or English majors and say we need you to join The Black Panther Party people who were already in the organization Develop those skills, right though it was each one teach one in a way and they were able to take their newspaper and it became a Mirror to what was going on in the larger black community at the time it contained letters from all over the world Including quite a few from people who were fighting again in the Vietnam War and who were critical of of us foreign policy at that time I mentioned the Panthers free breakfast program This gives you a sense of how important it was that it was a nationwide effort And I want to give you the image of men serving breakfast to children Right because we oftentimes don't have that image and when we start out with those dominant images that I mentioned in the beginning We didn't see that image when we saw the men sort of lined up with their weapons at their side, right? That was only a small fraction of what people in the organization did Here's another wonderful event the Panthers had in the Bay Area where they gave away free groceries This is the 50th anniversary of the summer of love so there's lots of conversations about the connections between black power and the counterculture and Just the culture of challenging Community of giving away things free to have people challenge capitalism to conceptually rethink How they feel the commodified relationships between people between services Should go down and the Black Panther Party was part of that and here's an event with Angela Davis speaking Erica Huggins you see their Bobby seal and Ron Dellums The Panthers of course had a school right because as the woman talked about Phyllis Jackson bouncing her daughter her child Her son actually up and down as she was answering the phone at the Black Panther office People who were involved in the Black Panther Party. I might have told you they dropped out of high school They dropped out of college. They did not drop out of dating right they dated each other they had social sexual relationships with each other and Out of that at the time where birth control was becoming incredibly Widely available and discussed as a politicized way for women to exercise their self-determination right you had The creation of children within the organization and the Black Panther Party created structures to Nurture the children of the organization and eventually that grew into structures that nurtured the children of Oakland, California So the Panthers had very well known a well regarded Oakland Community School where women played a very pivotal role wanted to leave you with images of some Panther women and the ways in which they continued to remain connected to each other They continue to be aware of the need to continue to speak to each other Because in a lot of ways, there's a lot of hope a lot of joy and a lot of pain in the memories of the Black Panther Party One member told me that it was called a party, but it wasn't a party Right oftentimes you were arrested you you faced deprivations You sacrificed yourself you weren't wearing the latest this or that you were living collectively and oftentimes you were poor Right you are working poor as part of this organization trying to bring social change And it didn't mean that everyone got along with each other either Right when I say they were like a family you shouldn't be thinking about some idealized version of family Think about your own family and think about how you feel right around Thanksgiving So it was Thanksgiving I mean people were living together collectively in these homes, so there was conflict there was cooperation and All these years later is Panther women continued to meet to talk about their history to talk about what it meant to heal the bonds to he to sort of Bring the ties back together and to continue to support each other and that's so important And there's so many Panther women that I could talk about this is just a small example behind each name is a story is a As a place is a teenage rebellion. It's a love story. It's a story of coming of age There's so many stories that need to be told I tell some of them in my book and I'm excited to hear some feedback from you to hear what you what else you want meet the delve into in the Q&A and My book is going to be on sale in the back later on for people who want to look deeply into that And of course the Oakland Public Library has been so kind to put together resources for everybody's talk. Thank you I just said yes without pointing to anyone. I see one question there and then two over there. So yes, you first man Okay, wonderful. So here's a question about the connection between women in the Black Panther Party and the ongoing Growth of the Black Lives Matter movement today and women involved in that movement There's actually been a lot of connections In conjunction with the 50th anniversary union you had people like Erica Huggins Elaine Brown and others who got together with members of the Black Lives Matter movement to share wisdom Right to share war stories. That doesn't mean that women in the Black Panther Party speak with one voice, right? Everyone had their own experience based on their leadership based on their region based on their age And I think that that diversity is important and I think there's also of course not a Synergy around the opinion of Panther women of whole on the Black Lives Matter movement but I think there's definitely support against this uprising and movement against state violence and Black Lives Matter is certainly at the forefront of that Excellent question. I think I might have planted you because I talk about that in my book. The question is about So when we have women in the Black Panther Party serving as leadership and playing a prominent role This how did that have an impact on factionalism within the organization and how is it that? The FBI the CIA the local police force how were taught at those women fair Compared to their male counterparts Well, the reality is is that despite the fact that Panther women played such a key role because their role was often times Behind the scene in a way. I think oftentimes we associate leadership with holding this Right and because if you're not holding the mic right oftentimes you're not identified as the leader Right. So because Panther women didn't do that In the same way in the visible way as men Oftentimes they escape some element of the direct attack of coin tell pro It meant that as men were arrested women took their place because women were oftentimes the one Behind the scenes running the cogs of the machine If you think about many organizations that you may know about whether it be the church with what men in the pulpit Largely and then women in the pews Largely and you think about what where the seeds the seeds of power Right women really played a big role in sort of allowing the organization to continue that didn't mean that women were not arrested They were not infiltrated. They didn't face the destruction of their relationships Brenda Presley the woman that I that I gave the quote from where she talked about being attracted to the militants the FBI went to her parents and told them that Their daughter was too nice of a middle-class girl to be involved in it with a bunch of thugs like that. So women definitely face Repression as well, but they face it in a different way than their male counterparts And there was definitely a lot of factionalism within the organization, especially in the early 1970s that was fueled by the FBI And women definitely played a role in that I talk in particular about how the FBI used Connie Matthews who was the Panthers international coordinator. They signed letters Comrade C from Connie Matthews, which were forged and they used her because she traveled around a lot So she was everywhere. So if you got a letter from comrade C, you believed it because she had been just there Any final thought yeah question Okay, excellent question. So the question is the connection between the Black Panther Party and the nation of Islam I found here in the Bay Area that there were a lot of connections like for example, the Panthers took their 10-point platform and program They were inspired by the nation of Islam's Platform which was laid out in very much the same way Panther leaders talk about reading the nation of Islam newspaper They talk about going down to the mosque and listening to Malcolm X when he came Around the country to give his speeches But at the same time for women women oftentimes told me that when they were interested in getting involved in something politically They oftentimes would check out the nation of Islam because they too were attracted to that message of Malcolm X But then when they went there they found gender roles that were particularly Prescribed in a way that didn't resonate with them Right, so it seemed rigid for them in their minds what they found in the nation of Islam So they ended up veering towards the Black Panther Party many women said I started out checking out the nation And then I ended up in the Black Panther Party because things seemed looser In terms of what was possible for women, which doesn't mean it was nirvana either Right, but it seemed like you could struggle there that you could have an impact you could raise your voice Let's hear it for Robin Robin has her terrific book for sale right there in the back if you have other questions for her Definitely stop by and ask we're gonna take a short break and get to our last talk and also put up a link for $5 tickets for our next show. Thank you for saying

Keynote: Battery as a Service, NIO, Battery Swap/Upgradability for cheaper EVs, Ganesh V. Iyer, CIO
|
Official Keynote video by Ganesh V. Iyer, Managing Director of NIO-US and the Global CIO of NIO, given for Wards Intelligence recently posted by NIO on their blog https://www.nio.com/blog/managing-director-nio-us-ganesh-v-iyer-nios-focus-our-user-experience-above-everything NIO Power implements the Battery as a Service business model on their Electric Cars currently selling over 75'000 EVs in China (not sure if that is their latest number), they have provided these customers over 1 million battery swaps thus far throughout over 157 battery swap stations installed in 65 cities throughout China. They also have fast charging support. NIO talks about selling their electric cars also outside of China, (I hope soon throughout Europe and USA). The Battery as a Service reduces upfront cost of the NIO high end car (ES8, ES6 or EC6) by about 25% and the user subscribes to the Battery as a Service of about $150 per month. A NIO user can then later swap to new battery technologies, new ranges and features as those become available every year, their BaaS monthly subscription price changes depending on which battery range they choose to use.
My opinion on it:
Since the era of Project Better Place of about a decade ago, I have always been convinced that Battery Swap has got to be the best way to deploy Electric Cars massively, hopefully in quantities that can really dominate the new car sales numbers, right now EVs are only about 3% of new cars sold. I believe that Battery as a Service perfectly can reduce the upfront cost of EVs by about 30%, and can render every new EV future proof. Case in point, NIO here announces that all of their customers who bought their cars for example with 70kWh batteries in 2018 will now be able to upgrade to their new 100kWh battery, thus increasing the range up to about 50%, they are talking about a range of over 600km. With new battery technologies to come, such as dry electrodes, solid state, I don't think it's nice for consumers to buy EVs and know that their batteries will be outdated just few years after their purchase. Hopefully NIO opens up their Battery Swapping standard for other Electric Car makers in China and globally to all adopt the same battery size/weight and swapping standards, hopefully they can further optimize, automate, increasing the speed and reducing the cost of Battery Swapping. I wish for example that BYD, Xpeng and other Chinese EV makers would all just adopt the same Battery as a Service standard. They could more rapidly increase the chances that this platform can become a global standard to help bring the upfront prices of EVs down as well as to help making all EVs future proof, all while eventually also removing range anxiety.

Hi everyone, good morning, good afternoon and good evening to all of you. This is Ganesh Ayer, the Managing Director for NIO USA Operations and NIO's Global CIO. As many of you know, NIO is a global company founded back in November of 2014 and a pioneer in China's premium electric market. We design, develop and manufacture connected smart premium electric vehicles, driving innovations in connectivity, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technologies. Our vision or aspiration is to shape a joyful lifestyle for our users and be the best user enterprise in the world through thoughtful design, amazing services and cutting-edge and best-in-class technologies. As we all know, the electric vehicles only account for approximately 3%, just 3% in the passenger car segments that are being sold today around the world, just 3%. Research shows, and all of you know, I'm sure, the main reason impeding the broader adoption of electric vehicles is all centered around the battery itself. The high price of electric vehicles is largely contributed by the very expensive battery pack. In fact, roughly about 25% of the cost of the EV is for the battery pack itself. That's huge. Then of course, the low residual value of the vehicle is mainly again due to the concern of the battery degradation. So we need to solve this to drive more adoption and drive more users from the internal combustion engine into the EV driven economy in the future. How do we do that? Well, NIO has come up with our own very, very unique NIO power solution and I want to share some information with all of you today. How NIO is driving that innovation using our proprietary NIO power solutions all the way from charging, swapping, as well as upgrading, end to end power service system. As you all know back in late August 2020, we announced a new innovative business model, battery as a service. Essentially, what this means is it allows the users to purchase NIO vehicles and subscribe to the usage of the battery pack as two separate transactions, two separate transactions. So it's essentially a separation of battery and then the vehicle into two separate components and battery separation and the chargeable, swappable and upgradable infrastructure utilization, thereby more reassuring the car ownership as well as better resale value for our users. So what this means is if a user purchase any of the NIO vehicles, ES8, ES6 or even EC6 model and subscribe to a 70 kilowatt battery pack under this vast business model, they can enjoy purchase price reduction of about 70,000 RMB, which is approximately about 10,300 US dollars and pay a very nominal monthly subscription fee of 980 RMB or about 150 US dollars for the battery pack, for the monthly battery pack subscription usage. By doing so, the users will continue to enjoy the existing the tax policies such as purchase tax exemptions and other subsidies that the Chinese government offers for the purchasing of the EV owners, EV vehicles. So our innovative this battery as a service business model was made possible because of our unique innovation around our NIO power solutions. I want to walk you through comprehensive NTO and NIO power solutions. What are the components or elements that made possible under this NIO power solutions? So essentially, if you look at the NTO and the code system for NIO power, it's powered by a NIO power cloud, which is very unique and proprietary to us. You know, your own parking space at your home, your apartments or wherever you live, and then do it yourself, which is mainly battery swap and then the superchargers, which I will walk you through in a minute. And then leverage is a one click for enabling or requesting the power solutions. Let me walk you through each one of them separately. So as I mentioned, this is made possible, the NIO power solution is made possible using our NIO power grid, which is a combination of multiple power replenishment services or solutions all centered around the user experience. So the core of this power grid is chargeable, swappable, and upgradable smart service power system. So on the chargeable front, you know, this is our NIO home chargers. We upgraded recently to the home charger 2.0. It's a new design. By the way, this design won the Red Dot award, very prestigious Red Dot award in our early this year. So as of September, we have installed little over 35,000 power home chargers in your users in their apartments or wherever they live. And then the most recent Beijing auto show, we announced a fast DC charger, so which is three times as powerful as the seven kilowatt AC charger or the NIO home charger that we deployed from the beginning itself. So just to give you a frame of reference for a 100 kilowatt battery pack using this 20 kilowatt power home plus or the DC charging infrastructure, you can get fully charged in three and a half hours as compared to 10 hours for the seven kilowatt power home AC charger. So it is three times faster to charge any battery pack. So the 3.5 hours to 10 hours that is for this, you know, comparison, I gave it mainly for the 100 kilowatt battery pack. So it's quite powerful. And the third one is our power charging solution or NIO supercharging as we call it. So which is mainly installed in all of the busy locations. And as of end of September, we have installed, we have about 54 power charging solutions or the supercharging solutions throughout mainland China, connecting all the four major cities, highways, Guanzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai. And then there's 54 locations have roughly over 350 individual power chargers being installed. So for the users, we also developed a charging map, which we call it as a power map. So this is made possible elevating our, you know, cloud technology, the charging map represents or represents a full-fledged IoT system connecting the users to the service personnel, NIO service personnel and the NIO self-operated charging facilities as well as the public charging facilities. So for example, when a NIO user or any EV user plan wants to plan a trip using the NIO app, the charging map will recommend the charging route along the way. In fact, you know, this mapping solution that we developed, more than half of the charging map users are not NIO owners, but electric vehicle owners of other brands. Because we want to drive our vision is to drive more adoption, driving these users from internal combustion engine into the electric EV segment in the future. So innovative technologies we developed, power map for example, that's more than 50% has actually been used by NIO users. We also have a one-click-for-power solution that we developed, which is again to take the charging anxiety away from these users. So we offer this one-click-for-power, which has also been offered to other owners of other EV brands. So as you can see here, a Tesla Model X being charged by a NIO's Power Mobile van. So it's quite fascinating to see this picture here. So it's a 10 minutes of charging provides approximately 100 kilometers of charge. So that is quite powerful. So we want to provide and we are providing an entrant different charging infrastructure and charging solutions for our users and other users of other EV brands. So the entire power solution entrant is made possible using our mighty power cloud technology. So mainly there are four components, which is the high performance IoT system, Athena, which is a smart simulation, and then the grid, which is the smart route planning, as well as the battery management or the shield solutions. So by utilizing this cloud-based dispatching system and integrating IoT and communication technology into our electric car services, NIO's power replacement experience embodies our vision and innovation. So with this, I want to share a brief video how our NIO power solution works. So hopefully that'll give you much more flavor how this thing actually works. Enjoy this video. Hope you enjoy this video and very informative video. So as you can see from this video, so every NIO car when it goes into the battery swap stations, any of these locations, every single battery that's been removed from the car is being carefully examined by qualified technicians to make sure that the battery that's been removed is completely safe and there are no issues with it. Once it is determined that there are no fault in the old battery being taken out, and it's been fully charged and then kept back in the rotation for the next NIO vehicles for swapping whenever that comes. Just in case if any fault is being determined by the technician and the old battery being removed, that has been sent for repair for safety reasons because we want to make sure safety is absolutely number one priority for our users. So any faulty battery that's been taken out at any of the swap stations is being taken out of rotation and sent for repair before it's been put back into the system. As a matter of fact, we have over 157 battery swap locations throughout mainland China and all the Taiwan cities from Shanghai to Beijing to Shenzhen to Guangzhou and even into some of the tier two highways connecting to those cities. So we have the swapping stations being installed. So 157 stations covering 65 plus cities and the number is counting every week. So because we are selling more cars, wherever the users are, we will NIOs commitment us, we will install a charging station to make sure that they are being taken care because as I mentioned, we are a user centric and user centric company. So we want to take care of the users as much as possible. So that's our number one motto. Very recently, we successfully completed 1 million battery swaps mild station, which we are extremely proud of. By the way, we have over 1200 unique patterns being approved in this NIO power swapping technology that you have seen in this video over 1200 patterns. So every new over who worked on this project is very, very proud of our innovation in your power. So to sum it up, as I mentioned, we are a global company and China is where we started. And that is our first market someday in the near future, we will expand our footprint to more places around the world. And wherever we go, we will carry our innovative power solutions so that our vision and then commitment is to drive more EV adoptions. So in the battery as a service model, I just want to sum it up that we want to drive more internal combustion engine users more and more into the electric segment. So with this battery as a service, it lowers the threshold for the users to purchase the electric car. So it gives more purchasing power to users who could not afford previously. Now they can afford because the price of the car is being reduced by 70,000 RMB. That's quite significant. And it also increases the residual value of the car because the battery is no longer owned by the user. They are being subscribed by the user on a monthly basis. That also ensures the innovation that goes into our battery technology is always being enjoyed and available to every single user. So that takes, again, better battery density, better battery chemistry, users can enjoy it. And of course, it also gives that flexibility of that upgrade. So I hope you enjoyed my presentation. I hope it was very informative. I'm sure some of you may have lingering questions. As always, if you have any questions, please, please email them to press at neor.io email address. I assure you that we will get back to you with answers at the earliest. Thank you very, very much. Have a great day.

Good morning, everyone. Sorry I'm late, but without further ado, let's get started So yesterday interesting day a sort of we talked about potentially taking a low before pushing up but we ended up just like sort of holding off doing anything sort of Or too aggressive and said we sort pushed a lot higher and In wake of sort of being at these lows already So cold So, I mean we took the highs here I mean the range got set up and each time we got sort of heavier shorts and shorts and shorts We've all sort of pushing up and that's where you have to start learning to read and these subtle changes, but in the in order flow I mean looking at sort of this sort of area here or Or really more here, but any time we did come down with these little shorts It's just sort of resets itself and just says okay pushes higher pushes higher At least go for these highs here Before anything and ends up sort of pushing that Pushing that and that's basically exactly what happened yesterday. We sort of look at that as you can see there you go there's your there's your points in terms of Pulling down It's just getting getting a lot more shorts and they're just stacking those shorts anytime someone was stacking those shorts Just came back and retested this area But retested where we did end up just collecting those shorts and then pushed up into this wall Does the same thing again just reconnects itself lets people enter into shorts before The second in a final third sort of push so there's your second one same thing third one Finally it caps it off and this is where you start seeing those failures where you have The walls placed on the other side to stop it Let's price off choke itself. You can see those Buys here and they just basically does the inverse of what we did here Well, we let those go short Then we get those longs high let those go short get some longs in so we break them Let's let them go short and again just reverses it and that's just like standard love so price very sort of easy and very simple to sort of just say Blanketly it's easy to sort of see and it's easy sort of understand that price will do something like this in terms of Like any time you want it to go lower you have to go a bit higher you have to have longs so we can push Price lower to get the quotations Because you're nice little double top for the day then just ends off and just smells out And gives right now where If we go back to this we're now creating nice little triple top One two three or in the form of creating a triple top So trading at sort of 50% of the Weekly range, which is interesting at least I'm shivering so my voice is a bit shaky. Ah So, I mean sure is a possibility we sort of create that trouble to up and push higher Yeah, it's something that you want to sort of look at but Alternatively, we can sort of have a statement where we bounce off of sort of currently this area here and push higher It's just would we get to here you've got to start considering is it sort of pertinent sort of reverse that position push down or Is it better to just say It'll continue up higher or not That's basically what we're sorry you have to sort of try and figure out when sort of training session comes in If you incorporate sort of everything here, you can see that there's your heavy offset of long So that's sort of where you typically expect Resistance to come in effect We have a short break here and another cluster of logs But this is where we start sort of tapering and changing off into having more shorts than lungs and this is where you essentially finds your sort of Closest sort of support within If we are to collect sort of shorts here, this is where you'd sort of find support If we were to collect longs here, so if we were to add longs, that's your resistance, but if we were to break glass through Into targeting this you sort of watch these collect longs add up to these longs here Before doing anything else The fact that we're sort of collecting these shorts here shows that I mean we could we could easily take that Like a bit higher. Take that push Drive it a bit further Looking at what things are doing now in just Collecting shorts. We've got these sort of bit of longs here, which is nice Just shows that still people willing to short at this high. We could easily go a bit further down before going up higher We still have the whole range sort of set up for today So there's a lot to do Yeah, it's too cold to talk. I was about to make rooms in the minuses Okay in terms of important sort of timings for today Just a simple one nine o'clock. Just coming up in one o'clock. Nothing else in terms of data is just a bit of speakers And that's it nothing sort of too important to sort of pay attention to So now we sort of got to wait on nine o'clock see what ends up happening looks like he's pushing down adding sort of a bit more in terms of Thoughts On a lot of things. We'll see what ends up happening if they sort of choose to collect short here then bounce on this side to sort of then go up higher for a bit and And then sort of drop it further They'll sort of break How we did Going a bit lower now Now what we're looking to do is see changes and the addition of sort of longs in this Edition of shorts rather in this area Ideally sort of collect on This wall at a maximum our minimum at the very but In terms of going down a bit further. This is where we do ideally wanted to bounce off that Comes at these highs here collect short. I mean we just overhang a bit Generally if we're here, we should be looking to add the shorts To the books and then bounce off of it That's ideally what you'd want to look here. It looks like it's trying to make that push down See how long it takes to do that It's the getting the getting choked each way just I mean That sort of uh, yeah The dragging price down making sure it stays under I'm just so tired now Legitimately just dragged my dusty ass bed off Dusty ass off my bed Since we have cl on the charts. Yes, it was interesting for it. I mean Ended up going to that eight eight two figure that we wanted Uh dropping down just didn't hit this, uh, which is kind of sadness uh Kind of upset it doesn't I mean it's surely sort of basically Overhanged sort of this bounce here. I just collected sort of traders under this area Just taking those stops here and here but Yeah, it would be nice to sort of see those I guess, uh, but instead we got greeted with just a nice little reversal And slam into this current area here So we're just collecting these longs here, which should be interesting to see if we sort of drop further down Uh off of this just hold off this area. Just treat this as sort of heavier resistance Look at it before I would see that of all you constraint is that area as well as sort of here They're just sort of capping it off looks like a nice little double top Uh That's something maybe you'd want to consider It sort of dropped down and finally sort of hit below here As it just didn't hit these two points of liquidity. So I think we're just building it up for reasons so Something that you maybe want to consider This is going to be coin Oh Sorry about my cool So there you two sort of resistance level that we talked about coming in here pushing down slammed here We already know that this nice print outside Build up volume here Just create a little choo choo train after it goes Slams into sort of resistance. So We're collecting long. We already know we're really heavy on the long here. So it's really reason. It's just resistance at this point Makes sense. There's that four-hour zone here I mean and four hours on here it just shows In sort of combination with sort of these uh these areas here We're sort of at that resistance if we drop below There's your sort of shallow catch that we talked about Then if we sort of hold that we can look to go higher if we don't it's just sort of Uh going further down. I think that's what potentially look for I really speed quite a few days with inside this sort of rage automatically If you look at it From here to sort of here There we go I mean we've been here for a while. I mean we can sort of compress this just down to sort of where the bodies are Just hit where the volume is rather here to essentially here It's been sort of very tight where Closers have been just very sort of similar and very sort Concentrated within these sort of areas and just very very small amount of variation coming in Just shows that Just shows that it sort of holds this area before anything And just collecting both sides before an ultimate break Uh the decision But considering the last move is heavy short we're very weak on these longs here, but we still have longs So we'll see we're capping off of this we're collecting volume just under this It could be just nice little failure pattern that we get Potentially go lower But again, we're just potentially looking for uh That to take that wall up here just as you can see Long pushing down coming down into this It's too cold to be a Coming down this sort of pushing lower See if it goes up high hits in push down ends up sort of completing sort of today And and sort of the entirety of that week Uh Into that push down But in terms of standing wise, yeah, maybe if we get like a nice double bottom You could essentially long here Or even At this point here comes in another one of these book map It's not about uh, I mean It's not about invalidating your book map. It's just trying to and I mean, yeah, if you read it like that you can invalidate it That's just understanding that You know where liquidity is You know that You know essentially where you're going, you know, if you like what you're seeing look if you see sort of these heavier Longs here and these pops here. That's easy to say. Yeah, I like what I'm seeing here. It's just taking out these tops here Let me let me continue that position But there you go It's in long pushes down This is into shorts should reverse slowly off of this collect Collect more shorts on this side if it doesn't I'm not collect more shorts collect collect Collect what longs around here sort of try to shift this area here down further It does it sort of goes down further for the rest of the day In all that just from understanding where these walls have been set up Uh, but I mean you don't have to read a like that. You can just use that sort of a last sort of uh point where Again, if I'm if I'm say Just trading these areas here If I was trading this area here and I saw that break higher and I shorted this preemptively or shorted this Understanding that the other the potential of this going down Look nice. Look nice. Uh, but instead it ends up just retesting And then pushing off so it would have been a terrible sort of uh thing to hold on to for at least I was the holder had to hold on to it for two hours again that goes against What we preach anyway, so Terms of holding things for too long. So again, you'll have already been out. But if you were not out already You could just have had a look at this area here and just say, okay, cool Do I like what I'm seeing in terms of being this short? Oh, no Why not? Uh, look that there's your shorts coming in. There's your shorts coming in each time they just Very heavy on these shorts on the low and finally it hits into a bid here Hits into a previous large collects a very sort of Heavy offset of shorts whether there was a previous area of pre-existing shorts And and again market orders want to validate this. It's just it just shows that okay, you understand Yeah, they're trying to get what they want here Instead if you had that market order just go like, oh, yeah But you'd have already been in the right trade because you saw those, uh, you saw that long tail Just about getting confirmation of a potential biases maybe Because sometimes you don't have that confirmation come out Again, it's just like looking at footprints, but a bit better Okay, I'll probably keep this on like a very extremely short side because I'm too cold to be talking I got a fever Is it yes? I mean continued down Yeah, again, nothing out the ordinary nothing, uh, too unexpected Finally hits into sort of this too It's into the slower It's into the slower Uh comes back down Consolidates with bitcoin, but Now we potentially may look at this as Is this will this reverse will this reverse bitcoin sort of trend? Uh, and that's what So yeah, if look out again could be sort of similar where we're collecting these shorts We're sort of failing down and they're already sort of putting pressure on the other side If we sort of come into here, we could potentially bounce higher That's something that you want to be sort of, uh, mindful of I mean two minutes till we got those, uh, got the first speaker of the day coming in These walls here look probably tasty. That's something that you want to hit up into as a possibility Because again, it could end up just Being a collection of short that collection of shorts that we got here We don't break lower. We break higher Into this before reversing and reversing for the day at that sort of 11-ish time But we get that second speaker coming in for the day Again, no numbers to pay attention to today just time just timings Not that we pay attention to numbers anyway I mean, it's slowly starting to do what needs to do See how far it take It's really so exploring. We just go over sort of, uh, mid Timing wise Sort of use the chart potentially Again, if es doesn't really hold here, it probably isn't interesting holding Holding sort of this range. You'll probably take out the lows here We'll see how far it goes after it takes out the lows see if it goes down into these areas here But generally where we're sort of standing as long as this area starts collecting long Short rather we're sort of looking happy in terms of taking these Taking these highs at the very least I mean theorem So I mean looks a bit better than bitcoin, but I mean not really Better just marginally if you sort of look at Sort of where the resistance at you can see that explosive Large sort of shelf for it to sort of hold itself onto And pills away into sort of this resistance So that's something that you want to sort of look at maybe drop down a lot further It's into 15 15 25 25 pills higher But that's yet to be seen but your first level of support after sort of This area here is all the way down there. So that's something that you want to sort of look at And be mindful of Over here before I see that area here collecting longs. I mean shorts rather hits into here I mean, you've got that area there where it's just reverse off of this Holding into the shorts. See if that push down We can get a big dump with a fast recovery puff up Hmm And if we're gonna get a dump, we're just gonna like retrace this sort of flag that everyone's sort of trying to long off of So I mean, I think that was uh sort of goal was Cheat Wednesday is I mean just break as fast as you can collect as many shorts just recover off of this and peel away But Generally, I think people are anti to short it. So We'll probably might get a fast recovery if anything We'll see if it ends up becoming a nice little double bottom Or where we take the actual low here because we've got two sets of lows now This low here this low here I've got this bar to sort of come back into this area here around to that 2k even And in the midst of creating a nice little Nice little triple top So we'll see if they push up high first if they push up high first again looking at it There's a triple top to then push down Uh I mean same thing it's doing It's heavy on these shorts collecting these longs. It's just shows some weaknesses if it stays below here. It'll sort of fell And continue down a bit for at least a bit For considering upwards That's something that you want to keep your eyes open for Again, I can't think straight. It's too cold I'll have a look at gold That's courtesy and bounce off of this but again, no surprise continue higher Trapping above this area here. There you go. Nice little trap Off of the s day. Oh, yeah. Yes, they ish There's your nice little trap here We'll see if that trap leads into sort of downwards movement and we can finally break low here So essentially look out for that today. We're just hanging around here just collecting orders It would be sort of So high time we sort of drop that I look at Solana. I guess and stats It Came back a bit It's just coming back down slowly but surely to these markers that we sort of put out for it so Nothing sort of too interesting other than that Just pushing down a bit more aggressive Then what bitcoin and ethereum has been doing but again Sort of there's your is your range. There's where we started trapping orders pulling away and there was your sort of Last trap on this side clear out the liquidity come below Then push further down Now we're sort of at this at this area where It sort of We should be looking potentially for a further drop But I probably I think most people would be doing that Again looks very short of both. I think a lot of people would expect price to sort of come down here Uh into this with the sort of lag area here But if we're looking to come down here first, we sort of have to look I think to take out these liquidity points here So maybe look for something like this if you're looking to short it Nice sort of area here other than that I don't think you want to short this a bit further down Do you want to see those longs into the market here this sort of rate here to then sort of drive Sort of stops to be placed here To then drop that price further down into these areas there Have a look at them since that's coming came back There's a lot of walkings, uh, but So let's filter that out. It was time There you go Uh, yeah, again bitcoin pushed up this pushed up again But when it pushed up again, I said it was like being forced to be uh Also being pushed up and that it was Is a double top and finally broke that and broke down all the way to that 11 figure that we were looking for Uh Then slow climb up Just capping itself here We'll see if it ends up falling And where it ends up falling at But generally if it sort of retests itself here, I mean this just looks like a steady long area Where we can easily fell and go down lower So considering where it's protecting these stops here Maybe nice, uh, and if we end up doing if you don't if we don't end up taking those stops We'll probably look for this to be a sort of a failure pattern To go down a bit lower first step is probably bringing it down back to the level 11 11.5 We'll see if it drops down further If it does drop down further, you're probably looking for The smaller time frames to find an area Again, just looks about these lows here Just around sort of 11 and 10.9 ish That's sort of if it ends up failing this area here Which could be sort of very easy sort of say, yeah Have like a blanket statement say, yeah, okay cool. It looks looks easy There's your points. There's your points could easily push down, especially if bitcoin does end up going down for the day Uh off of the back end of the current move In not much happening But it's still sort of the same thing got these long it's got these bids now present on the other side We'll see how far this Uh This can go on for Because you can just do 60 taggy forever until they hit a support The support areas are here and here. So we sort of need to look out for them As a potential area of bouncing Let me sort of push higher But I mean other than that nothing really interesting happening I mean I can cut this early Uh, I mean you guys happy sort of with what What I've said so far you guys sort of any questions basically any sort of things you want to leave uh Ask before we leave off for today Oh, say thousand oh then I mean looks like a pretty simple day just watch for the breakout sort of uh, I mean we should be currently so So we sort of wait wait for that 10 o'clock We'll see if they end up switching it and hit up into sort of uh, one o'clock and what ends up happening at one o'clock That could be interesting. I mean existing home sales and what I mean just doesn't matter Realistically I mean it's at 10 o'clock. We already know 10 o'clock matters. So these are non-existent So people pay attention to these numbers do something else. I mean Just stupidness Just 10 o'clock is important today and also one o'clock. So so I'm looking for midday with sort of midday plus an hour Uh potential point to maybe look for reversals at those times If we don't get it earlier Or whatnot just something to be mindful of for for today whilst you're trading But I don't really have any more advice, uh should be sort of a decent trade again Looks looks pretty easy sort of take up high just depends On these shorts being collected here And holding this level Hit up into these levels here Uh alternatively if we sort of break low and just don't hold this area here We're looking for further down and you're looking to collect a lot further Other than that, that's pretty much all I have for today Uh because I need to warm myself up. It's too damn cold Too damn tired Uh have a great weekend guys. Uh make sure you trade today safe other than that. I will see you guys Monday Have a lovely day folks

The statistical red flags around Jacob Eason are concerning to say the least. His efficiency in Washington wasn't great, with his 8.0 AYA sitting 6th among the top 7 quarterbacks in this year's class. And if a quarterback isn't efficient, you at least want them to be younger and experienced. But Eason is coming off his age 22 season, with just 26 games and at least 10 pass attempts under his belt. Outside of his major bowls, there's not a ton to get you The best statistical comp for Eason is JP Losman. Losman never had a top 15 season in total net expected points, so Eason will have to hope he's able to perform his resume coming out.

The Psychology Behind Why We Love Horror #shorts
|
Horror is one of the most popular fiction genres today. Big names like "It", "Saw", and “The Last of Us" prove over and over that many people love to be scared for entertainment. This might raise the question, what makes creepy clowns, massive sharks, and brain-eating zombies such popular topics in the world of fiction? In this video, we want to explore the psychology of horror and what draws people to enjoy being scared or terrified.
This is a special project we worked on as well. Hope you enjoy it.

being able to recognize that if you can go lean and be mobile then you can move towards where the greatest opportunities are. And I say this as a warning to men out there who are following very traditional pathways that often involve them getting involved in long-term debt in very expensive economies. The modern like American male if he wants to go to college is likely to be put in a good college is likely to be walking away with what is it 60 a hundred grand worth of debt something like that. One thing you should note is that you don't actually have to do it here. If you want to you can go to Germany and they'll more or less pay for your education. I don't know if the Germans want me to tell you that. They're like we've got enough trouble with the Syrians and now we're gonna send the Americans over as well. But the truth is you can get very cheap education over there. I live most of the time in Budapest in Hungary and it's interesting to see these waves of American students coming over there to study medicine because it's five times cheaper than doing it in the States and just as good. So the first thing is in order to be an effective modern male one of the best things to be able to do is to think firstly nationally and then globally and to take advantage of the fact that this is an amazing time and place to be alive if you use it well. It's also a really difficult time and place to be alive if you are stationary if you cannot pick yourself up and move to places where the opportunities are better. When I first started playing music I was born and brought up in a city called Canberra which is the capital city of Australia sounds cool when you say capital but it's not at all a cool place. One of the most boring cities on the planet the only people there are public servants and heroin addicts sometimes are the same thing but there's nothing much going on there and myself and my crew started our band there we got to the top of the scene which meant not a lot and at some point we realized that if we wanted to go anywhere else there were systemic limitations to our location and that's a really important thing to note especially for people who are involved in everyone but guys who are involving themselves in entrepreneurship positive thinking self development there's a lot that's talked about in terms of your mindsets which is very important it is very important to cultivate positive effective mindsets but it is also important to be realistic and recognize when the place you're in does not support you. For me at that time that was not the place in Australia to be playing music for a lot of guys who want to have some kind of artistic pursuit or entrepreneurial pursuit or want to be in a world where free creative thinking is fostered and supported then your second third fourth tier city where people do as told is not necessarily the environment that you want to be in. Who's heard the saying that you basically are or resonate at the same frequency as the five people that you spend most of the time with. I don't know if I said the quote exactly right but you get the idea the people that you hang around with and are with most of the time tend to you tend to operate at that similar level. The people that I grew up with and still love to this day is close friends and not the people that I'm traveling the world with having crazy and wild interesting adventures with because those people have chosen lives that are stationary that are simpler more predictable or whatever they've chosen. But the point being that if you want to be excellent in any field one of the things you're going to need to do is move to a place where excellence is encouraged. There's a new archetype for masculinity which has kind of appeared roughly around the time when Tim Ferriss wrote his book the four hour work week. Is there anyone who has not read this book in the room? Okay. There's a few. All right. Well this archetype of a modern playboy entrepreneur which differs from the successful male of say like the 80s which was the Wall Street guy with the nice watch and the fast car is more exemplified by a man who is pursuing excellence internally in terms of his mindsets physically in terms of the way that he uses his body and then is hacking all sorts of systems in order to optimize what he gets out of life. Right. So the the four hour work week laptop entrepreneur modern male when he gets up in the morning does something along the lines of drinking his bulletproof coffee stretching for 30 minutes 28 minutes is the most optimal length of time to stretch opens his laptop does a little bit of this makes a few hundred, you know, a few K closes the laptop then goes and does his workout which is optimized perfectly so they're not a single motion or calorie is wasted. Then and he's doing this on a beach in Thailand or in Costa Rica or somewhere where it's you know beautiful and sunny. And then goes and eats some awesome paleo food with the right level of macro micro nutrients. And then what he does the rest of the day I'm not exactly sure because he's just got so much time to spend and then goes through his evening routine where he has apple cider vinegar with some honey and listens to some meditation stuff that pulses in various ways and makes you meditate like a monk and then falls into a blissful smug sleep of knowing that it not a second was wasted in that day. Yeah. So and I'm not making fun of that archetype because that is well I'm not look I'm not doing what I did. This I mean this is actually a great model for a man compared to what the one of the what eighties and nineties was of like work hard play hard snort cocaine bang hookers or something like that. This is you know this is a cool model because what it what is this using is using the resources and the knowledge of all of Western and Eastern psychology and certain health and all sorts of things in order to live a life that's excellent. Right. It's a cool model and people sometimes ask me James what's your morning routine. And I'm like well sometimes I get up in the morning and and then I do whatever I feel like doing. I'm actually somebody who is incredibly undisciplined who has no routine except for the fact that I always get what I said I'm going to do done. Right. That's that's kind of that's the way that I've managed to operate. I get up at all sorts of different times they had all sorts of different things. I try to eat healthy. I do stretch not every single day most days. I do work out not every day but most days. I am do try to use optimizing techniques in all sorts of areas including my business. But my I've never been able to maintain a really heavy discipline that follows an extreme set of steps to get the the most out of life. And that's just the way I do things. I'm not necessarily the best model for someone looking to find optimizing routines. But the thing about this archetype is I've taught lots of guys who fit into this category because it works for some guys they go out and they figure out how to work from a laptop or how to have skills that are mobile and move around the world which is something I think is fucking amazing and awesome photographers but massage therapists life coaches all sorts of guys who do something on the internet and money appears. These guys are often my clients and also I bump into a lot of these different guys through my travels and my my work. And one thing I've noticed is that as effective as they may be there is something missing in this archetype something very vital missing in it which is that sitting on a beach in Thailand doing all that stuff is really lonely if you don't have a crew around you is really unfulfilling if you're not actually able to like integrate into the society that you've decided to move and become part of and especially if you're not able to go out and meet women and bring them into your life. Now I don't want to get down on Tim Ferriss but any time I see him talking about his lifestyle and his routine there seems to be a severe lack of women in the picture. Right. Being able to know that at nine oh six you go to bed with your tonic. Where does the sex and the hanging out with the chick fit into that exactly I'm not so sure. It's a very individualistic and solo pursued a lot of this stuff because it's really around optimizing the individual which is all well and good but it doesn't take into account our most basic and pressing needs beyond those of survival which is community which is feelings of significant significance which is feelings of connection and of course which is feelings of sexual satisfaction and intimacy with a partner. In my mind the absolute most important skill that a man can learn whether he wants whether he's going to stay in one city and have a normalish kind of life or whether he wants to hit the road and be bouncing around the world taking the best of what's available out there the number one skill that a man must learn is seduction. It is not an optional skill. It is not a hobby. It is not something that you just pick up when you're a young guy to just get laid a bunch of times and then put down again because my definition of seduction competency is not hustling drunk girls into bed night after night in trashy one night stands. Yeah I mean that's that maybe an element of it or that may be something that you go through at some point in your life but seductive skill is the ability to have choice is the ability to go and see that woman over there and go okay everyone looks at the back there's no one there that one there that one that I want to talk to once not you Liam. To go over there and make a good impression and try and get something started because without it you are going to be living in scarcity. Most men although they may live in a major metropolis are essentially living in a small village when it comes to the choices they have with women and they are choosing from a very very small pool and therefore the likelihood of finding the one or the right one for that time is non-existent which means that they're often going to get into shitty relationships with girls that are not right for them they may be right the girl the girl and he may be right for other people doesn't mean they're awful human beings just means they're not right for each other and so I've met a lot of these digital entrepreneurs who are lonely right because they're doing all the stuff and it's working in a sense okay I've got the money and I've got muscles and I feel healthy but here I am maneuvering around the world with a severe lack of actual purpose so what I want to move on to is looking at how is it that you can develop social networks friendships and of course relationships with people in the most effective for our dating work week kind of way. Firstly have a think about your best friend and if anyone's there going like we'll go and make one yeah how is it that you knew or you know that that person is your best friend does anyone want to say anything about that how do you know yeah okay through all the stuff you've been through together let's let's let's look at that as a concept on the other side all of you have had a situation where you've been involved in you've been thrown in with a bunch of people for work or a sports team or university or something like that and you hang out with those people socially as well and you find that within that group that there's some people you click with and then so after work drinks or you know barbecues on Sunday or whatever people do when they're part of groups and you have a friendship and this friendship may last for years but the moment that you move away the season ends or the university ends or the reason for you guys to hang out together ends so does the friendship and you just waft off into Facebook you know acquaintances why is it that you weren't it meant that you may have been with those people for many years why is it that you're not friend really actually friends with those people as opposed to the best friend any quick idea yeah okay so the environment okay the environment shifts and changes but I mean my best friend and I leave very very different lives now all right he's a busker in Australia very good songwriter singer and plays music on the streets and I'm me right yet I still consider that person to be my absolute best friend now the reason that I have such a strong relationship with that person is because of all the things that we did for each other right it's all of the investments that we made in each other and those were various types of currencies so I'm going to talk to you guys about a concept I call the seductive economy which is the exchange of non-final financial currencies with other people in order to create bonds with them because the way that you actually create particularly between men strong relationships is through debts and favours the reason why the relationship of the in the sports team dissolves after the end of the sporting season is because you guys didn't invest anything in each other aside from time spent around each other right you may have been civil you may have been friendly you hang out you drink beer you do whatever you're doing together but there has been no real stretch on either side

So let's begin reading at verse one together. I'll read two verse six and we'll get into our study this evening. Hebrews chapter three, beginning at verse one, reading to verse six. The writer writes, therefore holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to him who appointed him as Moses also was faithful in all his house. For this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in as much as he who built the house has more honor than the house, for every house is built by someone, but he who built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant for a testimony of those things which would be spoken of afterward. But Christ as a son over his own house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. Now as we've been looking at the book of Hebrews, remember with me that the author, the writer of Hebrews, has been using the word better and has used it several times already. He actually uses the word better some 13 times as we go through this particular book together. And he's been using that word in order to emphasize how great Jesus Christ is in comparison to everything else. And so as we looked at this and looked at the different ways that he's been speaking, he was speaking of Jesus Christ as being greater than the prophets and he also spoke about Jesus being greater and better than the angels. Now in this particular chapter he begins to speak to us concerning how the Lord Jesus Christ is better or greater than Moses. And that's what we'll see here in chapter 3 as we look at this together tonight, that Jesus Christ is greater than Moses. Now this is extremely important because Moses is the greatest hero in the nation of Israel. He was recognized as their great deliverer, he is their great leader. Moses is the law giver and God had done a great work through Moses and all the children of Israel who were schooled in the Word of God knew the things about Moses. Moses had been born during a time when a Pharaoh had arisen in Egypt and the children of Israel had been there in Israel, rather in Egypt for a number of years. And a Pharaoh had arisen who didn't recognize or regard Joseph, the work that Joseph had done on behalf of Egypt many years before. And when he had arisen and came to power, the first thing he wanted to do was subjugate the Jewish people who were there. He hated them and so he began to persecute the nation and gave an order that the Jewish boys would all be put to death once they were born. And so because that was something that was against the moral grain of the Jews, what happened was Moses' mother gave birth and had a beautiful son and she hid him, she hid him in the bulrushes and as she hid him there in this river the daughter of Pharaoh came out and she was there to bathe and one of her handmaidens, as she was there, the daughter of Pharaoh, sees this little basket in the water and sends her handmaid to go and get this ark or this basket and bring it back and she looks at the baby because the baby is crying and she has compassion and Moses' sister Miriam is there and she sees this all taking place and when she sees the daughter of Pharaoh looking at the baby with this compassion, you know the story, you know that Miriam approaches and says, would you like me to get a mother to nurse this baby and she sends her off on the task of getting a mother and obviously she takes Moses back to his own mom and Moses' mama nurses and not only does she nurse him but the daughter of Pharaoh actually pays her a wage to do so and how wouldn't you ladies have liked that if you'd have gotten compensation for that duty. But anyway, and so she begins to nurse him and they wouldn't nurse their children for a month or two months or five months they would nurse them for some time and so Moses was able to be with his mother for a period of years in reality until he was weaned and in doing so was able to be raised with a conscious knowledge that he was Jewish and so when it was time for him to go back to live with Pharaoh and Pharaoh's daughter, he was raised as the son of Pharaoh and grew in stature, wisdom, eloquence, and might there in the nation of Egypt. The children of Israel were familiar with this. Now on one occasion, Moses was out visiting his brother and the Jewish people when he saw an Egyptian who was manhandling one of the children of Israel and when he saw this take place the Bible says he looked one way and then he looked another and then he promptly slew the Egyptian and buried his body. Now that may just rush past you as you consider those words that he slew him and buried him and when you read in the book of Exodus how he did that it's just a very short statement. I mean basically I quoted it. He looked one way, he looked the other and he slew the Egyptian. But you need to understand that the task masters during the time of the Egyptian domination over Israel were amongst the most ferocious men in Egypt. They were like WWF wrestlers if you will. They were giants, they were powerful, they were schooled in warfare, they were fierce and they caused the Jewish people to have tremendous fear because of how bad they were. But the Bible doesn't even indicate that Moses even thought for a moment about it. He just looked to the right, he looked to the left and he killed him. That gives you some insight into how powerful a figure Moses really was. He was a warrior, schooled in all the wisdom of Egypt as well as the military martial arts. And so he dusted him, he killed him, buried him and thought he had gotten away with it. Well the next day as he's there in visiting once again his people he sees two Jewish men who are having an argument so he approaches them and says you are brethren, why are you fighting amongst yourselves? The one who is in the wrong though looking at Moses says what are you going to do? Kill us like you slew the Egyptian yesterday? And so we find it interesting to note that the word had already gotten out about what Moses had done. Now when you consider the fact that there was nobody there other than the Egyptian taskmaster and the one who was being hurt, it causes you to understand that the person who was speaking to Moses more than likely was the one who just the day before had been delivered by him. But he didn't want to hear what Moses had to say in a word of correction and therefore he says well what are you going to do? Kill me like you killed the guy yesterday? Moses knowing that it was known became fearful and the word went out that the Pharaoh was going to have him put to death. And so he fled. He went to a place called Midian. Midian would be east of where he was there in Egypt and it's in what is modern Saudi Arabia, it's south of Jordan and that's where he went. And he was in the backside of the desert and as he was in the backside of the desert there he came across some young women who were taking care of the sheep for their father and he actually helped them because some shepherds began to threaten them. And as a result he drove the shepherds off, he watered their sheep, they went home and spoke to their dad and their dad said what happened and they told him. He said well where is the man that delivered you? And they said well we left him out there. He said bring him home so that I can feed him and show him hospitality for what he's done. And so Moses ends up going to this man's house. His name was Rual. He's also known as Jethro. And he went to his house and ultimately married one of his daughters, a woman by the name of Zipporah. Now as Moses is there and he's now herding sheep, he has gone from the age of 40 when he originally delivers, actually slew that Egyptian. He's now there in the backside of the wilderness and he's been there for some time. And the Bible says that God called him in an extremely unique way. You can see this in chapter 3 of Exodus verses 1 through 4. Let me read that to you. It says Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert and he came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked and behold the bush was burning with fire but the bush was not consumed. Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn. So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, I'm getting out of here. No, he said, here I am. And so that's the call of Moses and the children of Israel were familiar with that. Moses ultimately is sent by the Lord back to Pharaoh. And as he goes back to Pharaoh, he says, thus saith the Lord God, let my people go. And he refuses, as you know the story, and continues to refuse until God begins to bring plagues on the nation of Egypt. And ultimately, after the plagues are continued and concluded, he delivers the nation of Israel from Egyptian bondage. And as he leads them out, he is known as the leader of Israel, the law giver, the one whom God used and is the greatest of all the Jewish people. And so as we look at chapter three here in Hebrews, he wants to speak to us concerning the superiority of Jesus Christ. Now Jesus Christ is superior to prophets. Jesus Christ is superior to angels. And yes, Jesus Christ is superior to Moses, the greatest figure in Jewish history. And that's what he's pointing out. Moses is great, but Moses is not as great as Jesus Christ because Moses actually pointed to the Lord Jesus Christ. You see, God used Moses to write the first five books of the Old Testament. And in his writings, he actually has prophetic words that relate to Messiah who is to come. The very first prophecy that you have concerning the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ, is found in the book of Genesis, a book that was written by Moses. And in Genesis chapter three, verse 15, the Bible says, I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. So Moses had spoken concerning Messiah who is to come who was going to conquer Satan. Later on in Deuteronomy in chapter 18, verse 15, Moses said, the Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear. And so he was writing concerning Messiah who was to come. Now the early disciples recognized and knew that. Because in John's Gospel, chapter one, verse 45, the Bible says, Philip found Nathaniel said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. In John 5.45 and 46, Jesus said, do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses in whom you trust. Had you believed in Moses or believed Moses, you would have believed me for he wrote of me. And so Jesus Christ quotes the fact that Moses in the Old Testament had been pointing to one greater than himself and that one who is greater than himself is Jesus. And so this is what we're looking at here in chapter three. As we begin in verse one, he begins by saying it this way. He says, therefore holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest who was faithful to him who appointed him as Moses also was faithful in all his house. Now he begins by saying that they are holy brethren. Notice that, therefore holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling. Now when he calls them brethren, he's not speaking racially. He's not saying as a Jewish person to other Jews, I am saying this. What he is speaking is spiritually. He's saying, my fellow believers, the Jewish believers during this day obviously needed this admonition because it was a new thing for the Gentiles to actually be folded into a relationship with God. Even as we were looking at Ephesians today, I was pointing out that the world was divided into Jew and Gentile. And the idea that the Gentiles would actually receive the promises of God was really a foreign thought to Jews. As a matter of fact, it was the kind of thing that would actually get them mad enough to kill you. When the apostle Paul was stating the fact that because the Jews were resisting the gospel that he was now going to the Gentiles, they rioted over that. Because the idea of having the Gentiles in the covenant promises of God was a foreign thought. And so when he's speaking here, he's saying, listen, you are holy brethren, not Jewish people alone, but you are people who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you are fellow believers. And you have a relationship with God through him. And he says, therefore holy brethren, you are also partakers, notice of the heavenly calling. Now this speaks of the origin of salvation. It is heavenly because the call originates in heaven and heaven is its ultimate goal. The call to salvation does not originate on earth. The call to salvation originates with God. And God is the one who initiates it. God is the one who gives the message. God is the one who gave his son. God is the one who did all the work. And the heavenly calling, the calling to salvation, starts with God and ends up with God. Because when that message is proclaimed here on earth, it's intended to draw people to a saving knowledge of God who dwells in heaven and takes us to heaven when we close our eyes here. And so we have a relationship with God because God initiates that, God originates that, and therefore we are partakers of a heavenly calling. Now these are holy brethren. Now that's something that I really think that we should spend a couple moments looking at because when he speaks concerning the fact that they are holy brethren, because God has a heavenly calling, we ought to have a holy life. When you have a relationship with God, that relationship with God ought to do something to provoke us to pursue him in order that we might have earmarks of godliness because we pursue the things of the Lord. So a person who actually has a relationship with God has a transformed life. Their life is changing. I can still remember when I was a brand new Christian. My friends said, listen, now that you're saved, there are a few things you need to do. You need to read the Bible. You need to learn to pray. You need to enjoy Christian fellowship. And you need to tell somebody about what God has done in your life. As a matter of fact, the day I got saved when we were in the back, I was speaking to a man who was a follow-up counselor. And the day I got saved, he said, these are the four things you need to do. If you want to walk firmly with Christ, he said, you need to begin to read your Bible. Because in the Word of God, you have spiritual food and you're going to learn the ways of God. You need to learn to pray, because that's your communication to God. That's your conversation with him. In the Word of God, God speaks to you. In prayer, you speak to him. And when you dialogue with the Lord through his word, you have conversation and it's called prayer. So he said, you need to get into the Word and you need to pray. He said also, you need to understand that your friends that you have are the greatest influence in your life. They're the ones who encourage you to do good or to do evil. Therefore, you should choose people that are influencing you to do the right thing. So hang around with Christians, especially believers who love the Lord Jesus Christ. And also, if you're going to heaven, the worst thing you can do is go by yourself. So encourage other people to go with you and take this message out and share what you've learned. These are the four basic things that I was taught to do the day I got saved. Those are the four basic things I've been doing now for 35 years. The same thing, getting in the Word, learning to pray, fellowshiping with Christians and telling people about the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, I can still remember when I was a new Christian, obviously I knew absolutely nothing once I was blind, now I see, once I was lost, now I'm found. But I didn't know, what could you know after being a Christian for a week or two or a month? I mean, you know very little other than just some very basic things. And a lot of it for me was Holy Ghost goose bumps and I'm changing, I feel good inside and I've got something I never had before, I have peace with God and I'm getting along with my parents, some very basic things, but there was no real depth in me. So I didn't know Scripture even though I was starting to read it and absorb it, but my friends say, you got to go out and you got a street witness and now I'm not a street witness, sir. I'm not able to do that and it's odd to me because I can stand in front of a lot of people and speak like this but one on one, that's just not my gift. I'm able to stand next to you while you do it and then if there's an argument then I can step in and do the debating one on one, but I'm not somebody who can just walk up to a stranger and say, excuse me, do you want to go to heaven? You know, I'm just not able to do that and no, you don't think go to hell. I can't do that kind of thing, that's just not the way I am but they're telling me you've got to go out and you've got to share and so I can still remember trying to learn to do that, to go out and to talk with people and to say, you know, can I speak to you for a moment about something that's happened in my life? Can I share with you? And during that time there were quite a number of young people who actually were really open to that and I began to learn that but I also began to learn that if my life isn't growing and beginning to line up with the things of Scripture that I actually undermined the message of the gospel because of a poorly lived life. I still remember I was on Whittier Boulevard in Whittier and there were actually two places you cruised and some of you are old and maybe you remember this. You had Whittier Boulevard in Whittier and that's where all the surfers hung out and you had the hot rods and they would drag race up and down Whittier Boulevard so I'd hang around there and then every once in a while I'd go to East LA. East LA is where all the low riding took place and you kind of drove real low so somebody couldn't shoot you and that was in East LA and so Whittier Boulevard was actually divided into two cruising kinds of places. I used to hang around in both but especially in Whittier and while we were in Whittier walking in Whittier Boulevard we went to a place called Bob's Big Boy on Whittier Boulevard and I walked up to some people my friend Bill and I were there and he said we've got to share about Jesus and I was all nervous. I was only a Christian for a week or two. What do I know? And so I said well I'll go with you and he says well come on and so we're walking and we walk into Bob's Big Boy into the parking lot and I walk up to this car and there's a friend of mine and Jeff is there in the car and we walk up to him and Bill said oh it's Jeff I said okay we can share with him about Jesus he's a friend it makes it a little easier I thought the Lord was just being kind to me by giving me a friend and so I walked up to Jeff and I said hi Jeff how are you doing? And he just smiles and nods and I went to high school with him I knew him for four years and then I had graduated and also I'd known him for several years how are you doing? I'm doing fine I said look it I want to talk to you about where he looked at me and he was so totally drunk you know I hadn't noticed it first but Jeff was absolutely blitzed and as I was looking at him he says oh I already know Jesus like that you know he's just totally drunk and so I remember that very well and I thought wow how interesting and we had a little bit of conversation you really can't reason with a drunk person at all you know but I remember that very well and that was part of my early Christian life and I realized well I'd better seek the Lord to live a life that is separated because I'm not saying Jeff did or did not know the Lord he could have backslidden that I don't know all I know is that he wasn't in any place to share with me anything about the Lord and so that's when I really started thinking about how am I living what kind of life do I live and do I live a life that is set apart you see the word holy when he speaks of them as being holy brethren the word holy means set apart once you're the ones who have been set apart for use by God in this context you are citizens of heaven and because you have a heavenly calling and it's a holy calling well then you need to let go of earthly things especially those things that fall short of Jesus Christ so don't hang on to earthly rituals don't hang on to symbols and miss what God has for you he says consider in verse 1 consider the apostle and high priest of our confession Jesus Christ the word consider means pay serious attention to carefully study him Jesus Christ is the one that you are to look at carefully he is called an apostle because an apostle is one sent from God as a messenger to man so Jesus is God's highest messenger to man he's referred to as our high priest because he makes intercession for us we will see this in more detail as we go through the book of Hebrews but he's letting us know that Jesus Christ is God's messenger to man who has a role that he performs in our life he is the high priest he says of our confession that's our confession of faith in him unto salvation so consider this one consider Christ Jesus verse 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him as Moses also was faithful in all his house now when it says in verse 2 who was faithful that word faithful means trustworthy he was trustworthy to the one who appointed him as Moses was also faithful in all his house all God's house so Jesus is faithful to the father and he was faithful to perform the work that he was called to Jesus completely performed the task he was sent to perform and what was that task Jesus came to perform the task of salvation he was totally faithful in accomplishing that Jesus is the one who laid his life down for us he laid down in order that he might take it up again and so Jesus did exactly what his father had said he was a faithful one to the call of God but not only was Jesus faithful Moses was faithful also Moses was faithful in all his house so there's a comparison that's being drawn between Jesus and Moses because of the admiration that Israel had of Moses now notice how he says Moses was faithful in all of his house in all of God's house that's confirmed in the Old Testament in Numbers chapter 12 verses 6 through 8 he said listen to my words when a prophet of the Lord is among you I reveal myself to him in visions I speak to him in dreams but this is not true of my servant Moses he is faithful in all my house with him I speak face to face clearly not in riddles he sees the form of the Lord why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses the Lord God says he is faithful in all my house so Moses was faithful to the one who appointed him and so was Jesus Jesus is the only one who ever did the entire will of his father completely he never did anything that was contrary to what his father desired in John 8 29 he said he who sent me is with me the father has not left me alone for I always do those things that please him on one occasion in John 8 46 which of you can convict me of sin and if I say the truth and why do you not believe me so Jesus Christ was faithful completely Moses is declared also as being faithful to the Lord and he speaks in verse 3 in this way he says for this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses Moses received honor because Moses is great Moses received honor because he was faithful but Jesus Christ receives more glory and there's a reason why because it says he who built the house has more honor than the house Moses was only a member of the household of God he didn't own that house he was only a steward he didn't build the house he didn't own the house he simply took care of the house on the other hand Jesus Christ is the one who built the house he's the builder of all things he's the owner of all things turn your Bible for just a moment to chapter 1 I want to refresh your memory Jesus Christ is the owner of all things he's the builder of the universe in Hebrews 1 remember how it says in verse 1 and 2 God who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets has in these last days spoken to us by his son whom he has appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the worlds Jesus Christ is the creator of all things Moses is part of the things that were created by him and because Moses is only part of the creation and not the creator Jesus is better than Moses even though Moses is the law giver Moses wrote concerning Messiah Jesus even though he was a great deliverer Jesus is the one who delivers us all the way to heaven Jesus Christ is superior to Moses because Moses is a servant in the house but Jesus built that house and because he built the house and owns the house he is greater in John 1 verse 3 the Bible says all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made in Colossians 1 16 Paul said by him were all things created that are in heaven that are in earth visible invisible whether there are thrones or dominions principalities or powers all things were created by him and for him Jesus Christ is greater than Moses because Jesus created all things Moses was a servant in the house of God but the house of God is owned and built by Jesus Jesus built the church that's the dwelling place of the spirit of God and because he created us and dwells within us he is superior to anything Moses has to offer he is the builder of all things now when it says there and says in verse 3 he who built the house is more honored than the house the person who is the builder is the one who equips and furnishes it's the one who prepares or makes something ready it's a word that is used concerning to the one who makes anything ready for a person or a thing it's the piece of constructing something with the idea of completely adorning and equipping it and so Jesus Christ is the one who planned and built all of this he's greater than any of his tools including Moses now verse 4 to me has been a scripture that I've known for many years by heart it's a powerful scripture for every house is built by someone but he who built all things is God there are those who believe in in alternate ways for this universe to have come into existence and they think that it requires too much faith to believe that there is an uncaused cause to be a first cause they think that it is too much of a leap of faith to believe that there is an infinite mind who can create all things but here in verse 4 it's almost a common sense thing every house is built by some some man you know you don't drive by an empty lot and then the next day drive by and see a house that's completely been just constructed that came out of the ground it just makes sense there was an architect somebody designed it somebody went constructed it that's the point he's making and that builder is God I used to work just down the street from here at a place called I believe it was FMC just right up the road I used to work there and I had a friend of mine his name is Chewie and Chewie used to work in this place and he constructed street sweepers I'm sure that you guys have seen FMC logos on a lot of the street sweepers FMC was constructing street sweepers at that time and probably still do and I used to work just down the road from here and a friend of mine was there in the department that put him together and Chewie is a believer and Chewie was sharing with one of the guys on one occasion and was sharing about Jesus Christ and as they were talking and Chewie was witnessing the guy says to him I just can't believe in God and so Chewie says and how do you think this universe came into existence and the man said well I think it just basically exploded into existence Big Bang Theory and he says you really think that and he goes yeah that makes some sense to me and so as they were working Chewie turned and pointed to a street sweeper and he says how do you think that got here and he says well we constructed it I know how that got there and Chewie says you're wrong he says it actually exploded into existence and the guy says I see your point everything is built by someone and the universe didn't just happen to exist and that's the point that he's making here every house is built by some man but he who built all things is God there is a designer to all things and the one who designed all things has an infinite mind so much beyond ours and he is the greatest he's the one who built all things and Jesus Christ is superior because Jesus Christ is God in the flesh Jesus is the one who is doing all of the work and that's the point that he's making here you see when the scripture says all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made we know that it's God who created the heaven and the earth and therefore it's pointed to Jesus as that creator we know that Jesus is the one who did all of that for scripture points very clearly to us that he did and so Jesus is the one who built all things and therefore is greater than Moses verse 5, Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant for a testimony of those things which would be spoken of afterward but Christ as a son over his own house whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end here's a great example of a man who was submitted to God but he wasn't equal to Jesus Christ God's son Moses indeed was faithful but here's something for you he wasn't completely faithful we remember that the Lord God had spoken to him and said to him on one occasion when he was leading the children of Israel there in the wilderness and they were thirsty God had spoken to him and said smite this rock and from it will proceed water and you can use it to drink sometimes when I originally heard that story I'm thinking of a small rock of some sort that Moses hit and all but I failed to think that the water had to be sufficient there had to be enough to water the needs for over 2 million people plus their cattle and so when that rock was smitten it wasn't a small rock more than likely it was probably large and as it split open and the water naturally came out it had to flood a certain area so all of the livestock had to drink and so it was an incredible thing and so when he did that and he smote that rock it was demonstrating that God was able to provide for the children of Israel water to meet their needs in a wilderness well later on the children of Israel are once again complaining against Moses and all and he gets very angry and the Lord says to him speak to the rock and from it will proceed water well here goes Moses and Moses is in the flesh and so as he goes to the children we smite this rock and produce water for you and he hits the rock now God had said to him no you're to speak to the rock Moses didn't speak to it in fleshly anger he strikes it a second time and because of that that was not perfect obedience and thus he never had the opportunity to enter into the promised land God allowed him to look into it from the other side but he never entered in himself and the reason he never entered in himself is because of disobedience he had misrepresented God you see that rock according to Paul when he writes to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 10 that rock was Christ and it was a picture of Jesus Christ who was smitten for us and produces living water but he was only smitten once he was not smitten twice he died one time for all time and so rather than striking him twice he was to smite him once as a demonstration of salvation coming through the death of Christ and then speak to him the second time he did not know what God intended to do and thus he disobeys and in doing so was not completely faithful on the other hand Jesus Christ was completely faithful there was never a single thing that he did recorded in Scripture that was wrong or out of the will of the Father so Moses was faithful but not completely faithful he was a faithful man and God remembers him as faithful but we know the full story and we know that he didn't completely honor God in everything in this house and he is used as a testimony of those things which would be spoken of afterward but Christ as he says in verse 6 is a son a son over his own house whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end we are the house we're the church the church is our bodies it's not the building because the church doesn't need a building to meet in the church meets in various places throughout the world at any given time you go to Hawaii and they meet out there in parks they're not meeting in any buildings they're meeting in parks sometimes the church will meet in an industrial an industrial building sometimes it meets in a sanctuary like this it can meet anywhere it can meet in houses it can meet anywhere as the body of Christ gathers together but what the church really is is all bodies as we gather together as the temple of the Spirit and we worship God together and so we are the house we are the temple we are the body of Christ that has been gathered throughout the world and has been brought together in him and we demonstrate that we are his house because we continue in Christ because we have relationship with God in one another and the Lord would have us to do that I find it interesting to know how he says it now notice in verse 6 again Christ is a son over his own house whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end there are some who receive the word of God with joy but when they begin to go through hard times fall away they don't have a real genuine conversion experience so much as they're accommodating their life to certain things that they appreciate that they have read in the Bible that they think sound true the real mark of somebody who is truly born again is continuing it's hanging on there going through whatever it is that we go through through thick and thin hanging on to Jesus Christ when you read in Matthew chapter 7 how the Lord God speaks concerning two men, two builders one builds their life on sinking sand and the other builds it firmly on a rock and the winds come and the rains come and the storms hit and they hit both of those dwelling places but one falls and the other remains strong and the reason one falls is its foundation was shoddy it was built on sand the other remains firm because it was built on the rock your life is built on the rock Jesus himself you do go through storms don't you we all do it's just something that happens to the believer and the unbeliever alike the storms and trials of life hit us all equally yet some of us remain firm and strong because we're hanging on to Christ we built our life on a rock others will say well I gave it a shot it didn't work for me I don't want anything to do with it anymore I once was a Christian but I'm no longer one in reality Jesus had said if you drink of the water that I give to you you will never thirst again if you eat of my flesh speaking of partaking in my life you will never hunger again if you drink of my blood you will never thirst again in other words if you fully imbibe who I am if you are totally regenerated and if you pursue me as a born again individual life is within you and you'll never hunger for anything else I have found that to be absolutely true as a Christian I have met many people over the years who began well but didn't continue then you discover that in reality they had never really committed their heart to Christ in the first place one of the most true stories I can give you about that is the guy who was influential in me coming to Christ his name was Bill he was the guy who when I had gone to his house and he wanted to take me to the Hollywood Palladium to go and hear this Christian concert and speakers and I had gone to Bill's house and said you know I don't want to go with you but I'll go with you some other time it was Bill who prevailed on me and said you need to go because we prayed and God said you have to go and so I went with him and it was Bill who really wanted and encouraged me to come to faith in Jesus Christ and it was at his house that I began to learn the Bible it was at his house that I began to learn to worship it was at his house that I began to learn to pray and it was with Bill for the first three months of my walk that I learned the steps that they eventually became my life and we went into the military both he and I went in together on the same day we went on what was called the buddy plan and Bill and I went into the military and it was Bill who said to me make sure you bring your Bible and bring a couple of Christian books and all because when we're there in the army your faith is going to be challenged and so I brought my Bible and I brought some Christian books and all and we went through basic training together got separated after the eight weeks of basic he went off to one place we got out of the service and by the time we got out of the service Bill had walked away from the Lord and then I saw Bill a few years ago now and he actually had called me and said David he said I want to ask you a question and he said I was listening to some TV preacher and he was talking about the book of Revelation and Bill out of nowhere called me at my house and wanted to ask a Bible question and I hadn't heard from him and I don't know how long and then together he and I were part of a friend of mine's wedding and prior to that Bill had said you know I hear you on K wave I turn on the radio sometimes and I've listened to you speak Dave and I said really he goes yeah I told Bobby this friend of mine he said I told Bobby that he ought to turn on K wave 107.9 1130 you're on the radio and I said is that right I had known Bill since I was five years old and he and I lived right across the street from one another it was my best friend from most of my life in many ways we're very close and almost like brothers at one time and then the last time I saw him he says to me you know Dave he said I heard you on the radio and I heard you bring my name up and I heard you say how that we together used to go to Bible study and he says and I want to tell you something I don't remember any of that not a single thing of that I don't remember that at all see Bill is a trainer he's a lieutenant in the Los Angeles police department now he was in the vice squad for many years and he's seen the underbelly of society and he walked away from God a long time ago how interesting it is to me how somebody can actually be used by God to bring somebody else to Christ when that person doesn't even know Christ themselves and Bill doesn't even remember when he used to go to Calvary Chapel he doesn't even remember how I got saved through his invitation to go to a Maranatha concert and so a long time ago I learned that people can rejoice in all initially but it's not rejoicing at the beginning it's rejoicing of the hope firm to the end that demonstrates that you're truly saved it's not just that initial thing because the Jesus movement and the Jesus people and all of that you know 30 some years ago was an exciting time in the history of the American church but there were so many people who started to finish they didn't finish and so it's always to me as I read scriptures like that a warning a warning to remain firm with Christ to rejoice in him not just in the good times but through the rest of my life holding firm until the very end abiding in his word demonstrating that we truly are his disciples

Good morning, John. The year was 2007, and I put a picture of a giraffe in the thumbnail of a video. It was actually just an image from a book. I still have the book, actually. It was this book, Birds and Bees, and the image was this one. Just a couple of giraffes, having a time. Back then, the way YouTube worked, you didn't upload your own thumbnail, it just chose the exact middle of the video, and I intentionally held that picture up as the exact middle of the video, and, yeah, it got a lot of views. That was followed up by a song in 2008, Giraffe Love Questions in 2009, a complete introduction to giraffe sex in 2010, and then, in 2016, more discussion of how giraffes make. But it has now been more than seven years since we last discussed giraffes on this channel. It's the longest giraffe drought we've ever had. And I had the thought, it's been such a long time we must have, like, as a species, found out new things about giraffes since the last time I posted a giraffe video. And guess what, John? It's true. There's a bunch of stuff that we now know about giraffes that we didn't know when we last made a video about giraffes. In preparation for this video, I even got to email with a giraffe scientist who is researching giraffes right now in Tanzania, finding out things that we don't know about giraffes. I'm gonna hit you with five things that we didn't know about giraffes in 2016, but we know them now. Starting with how many species of giraffe there are, which is a bit of a cheat fact, because we still don't know how many species of giraffe there are, but also we kind of can't know how many species of giraffe there are, because species is like a human idea, not something that nature does. But look, giraffes are spread out. They exist all the way from just south of the Sahara to South Africa. That's a bigger distance than you'd think. New York and London are closer together than giraffes. You, John, are closer to Brazil than West African giraffes are to South African giraffes. But a series of whole genome analyses showed that we probably should not be considering giraffes to be one species, there might be three, there might be four, there might be five, there might be six. But that conversation is super important, because if you count all giraffes as just giraffes, then there's like hundreds of thousands of giraffes. But if you divide them up into four different species, then some of those species are very endangered. Now in 2016, we also didn't think that giraffes really vocalized, at least not much. Some people even thought that their necks were too long for them to make vocalizations. They'd make noises, they'd do like coughs and snorts and snuffles, and they'd do lots of different communications with their heads and bodies. But it was in the last seven years that we realized that giraffes do vocalize. They just do it at night, often, and in a very, very low-pitched hum, which is an amazing noise that I do not have access to the copyright of, but I will link it in the description. It's beautiful noise that you can barely hear with the human ear. And these vocalizations are part of how giraffes communicate and maintain their culture. And that's another thing that we've learned since 2016 is giraffes are intensely cultural and much smarter and more social than we thought. And one key thing here is something that they actually have in common with people, and something that is very rare in the animal kingdom. Giraffes have females that continue to survive for a long time after they no longer are able to breathe. Like 30% of the lifespan of a female giraffe is after it is capable of making babies. We see post-reproductive females in not very many species. Humans, killer whales, some other kinds of whales, like pilot whales I think. Kind of elephants, though people will argue about elephants, and now giraffes. The reason we think this happens is called the grandmother hypothesis. It's that it happens in species where information transmission from older to younger generations is really important. So like cultural information, like knowledge and understanding, and like it needs to have a repository in older members of the social group so that the younger members can benefit from that. That indicates that giraffes are much more social and much more cultural and have much more knowledge than we thought they did. All right, big shift now because it's time to talk about blood pressure. Giraffes, as you might expect, have very high blood pressure because they have to get the blood to where it needs to go. Like high enough blood pressure that if it was your blood pressure it would damage your heart to be pushing blood that hard. And so researchers were like, it'd be nice if we figured out what's going on with the giraffes. Maybe we could help people not get damaged hearts if they have high blood pressure, maybe? And they actually found a gene in the giraffe that seems to be responsible for some of their heart's resilience. And they took that gene and they put it into mice and then they gave the mice high blood pressure artificially. And the ones who had the giraffe gene experienced way less scarring of their heart when they had high blood pressure. So that's wild. I don't know what we're going to do with that, but that's wild. And finally, as we understand how remarkable giraffes are, how much more social they are, and also that there are a lot of species of them, and also that they're losing a lot of their habitat and their population is decreasing quite quickly, the conservation of giraffes becomes even more important. Now it used to be imagined that wildlife and people who herd animals kind of exist in opposition to each other. And that is definitely true to some extent. Like this relationship is extremely complicated, but it should also be noted that people have been herding in sub-Saharan Africa for many millennia. And so recently, there's been a lot more research into not just the antagonistic parts of the herder-to-wildlife relationship, but also the parts where actually the herding people might be in some ways good for the savanna and for the wildlife. And certainly when compared with other land uses, like farming or mining or charcoal production, herding is much less impactful to the savanna and to the wildlife populations. And so if you do it right, you can actually see a world where protecting traditional uses of land is actually also good for wildlife, even though we used to think those things were really, like, ultimately strictly in opposition to each other. Which I've been reading about in this book called Savanna's of Our Birth by Robin Reed. It's not the world's greatest clickbait thumbnail or anything, but it is really good and fascinating. And the thing to remember about all of this information is that people went out and got it. And that is so illustrated by this book, which looks quite long, right? And it is. But this part is the book and this part is the notes and references, which that's a lot of references because there's a lot of people working on this stuff! The scientist I emailed with said that a lot of times we miss what giraffes are up to because they do everything so amazingly slowly. But that doesn't mean that we as a species cannot do it. We just need to watch and to listen, especially to their nearly subsonic hums. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.

The restoration of the 1841 whale ship Charles W. Morgan recaptured the art of wooden shipbuilding and preserved it for a new generation of shipwrights. Almost 100 years after her worldwide working career ended, the newly rehabilitated ship took a triumphant voyage to seven historic New England ports in 2014. Owned by the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, the Morgan is the second oldest American ship afloat and the world's only surviving wooden whale ship. Today, she is a national historic landmark. Her 2014 voyage was made possible by more than five years of work and $12 million raised in a broad national campaign. The Morgan's journey promoted the stewardship of intangible heritage and public history, educating nearly 65,000 people about everything from the diversity of those who worked in whaling to human whale interaction. She has since returned to Mystic as a permanent floating exhibit, a significant landmark in herself and the preserver of wooden shipbuilding for years to come.

And coming out of the timeout, it'll be Evan Joseph to inbound the ball. You assume the play is drawn up for Monique Wright. The question is, well, we'll all do everything in their power to deny it to him. They get it the right in the corner. He gets the shot off. And I think he wanted to be called for a foul. Evan Joseph will get another look. Oh my gosh! Would you believe that? Evan Joseph with a game tying three from a scrambled situation. This place is going absolutely crazy, just like they drew it up, right? Just like they drew it up. Overtime is next on the Mustang Sports Network, powered by-

Hello everybody, welcome back to esoteric Atlanta. I'm so excited today because I have the other half of Jay April Spiritually wrong. How you doing April? I'm so wonderful. Thank you so much for inviting me on today I just love your energy and I love being in your presence. Oh It's just it's a great honor. Thank you. Well, thank you two for coming on and I'm so excited I know you guys have really gotten to know Jay But again, April is Jay's other half and this is very Thank you. I wasn't gonna say it. I'm just gonna let you say When this is a very important conversation because we're gonna we're gonna you know as you guys know when Jay comes on We talked a lot about the 5d economy and shifting in the workforce and actually working for yourself and Doing work that you love versus feeling obligated to a job because you feel like you have to be there that's the shift in consciousness and April and I today want to kind of just discuss the role of the divine feminine with this new workforce and potentially working for yourself You're doing your own broadcasting and I was telling you April Something really fascinating that I heard the other day and it really kind of stopped me in my tracks and made me really start to think They were discussing this like the feminist movement when the women started going to work and what's actually happened in our Society is that a lot of women a lot of the women watching us right now Work full-time Have children and then on top of that. They're also full-time taking on the domestic duties of the house They're also the primary caregiver to their children and it's not parents too. They're you know that spreads far and wide And it's always the female and we know that female and this is not a knock towards men. We just know that females are Biologically better at multitasking than men are They're able to pay attention to multiple things at one time and and we do know that children tend to especially small children tend Declaring to mother as the primary caregiver a lot and it's just and it's not a knock towards men But a lot of times what happened April is that the men will come home from work And they start to zone out they go crack a beer open where mom comes home from work And I'm not saying that so please don't take offense men if you do pitch in but this is just generally speaking Mom is the one still responsible for dinner for helping the kids with the homework for doing the The dogs taking the dogs out and I was telling you April I don't have children, but I could I I do that like in our and my Domestic situation I take on just naturally most of the domestic on top of having a full-time job and It really got me thinking because I'm I see both sides of it where women want to stay home and be mothers That's fantastic, but I also see because I know April I think we're both very independent women like I like going and doing and I like having something to do and I like Being in the world and so I can understand I'm not saying that every woman has to go back and be like a housewife if they don't want to But if you want to work and you also are taking on the primary role in the domestic house What better job to have than to work for yourself? Oh Absolutely, I couldn't agree anymore, you know kudos to all the moms out there that are full-time moms But also full-time work outside of the house. Honestly, I don't even know how you do it It's it's a miracle and you know I I see a lot of moms that are literally up till 10 11 12 o'clock at night Just trying to get caught up and I see it with my own family members and I'm like, how are you like surviving? I don't understand how you're not physically and mentally exhausted and the truth of the matter is they they are because When you get caught in this wheel and it's so hard to get out of it you it's draining when People start to live in alignment Bryce with who they truly are You don't have to run like that. That's when your life really starts to shift and I think one of the hardest things is Actually making this shift Because there's that part of your mind that thinks well if I take that leap of faith And I really do believe it is a leap of faith to leave a full-time job or even you know To start out something part-time but to take that leap of faith and say you know what? I want to be able to work from my laptop It's often often a scary thought for a lot of people because they sometimes I just don't even know where to begin or they think If I do begin and then what if I fail and then you know my husband And then I have to explain this to my my friends and so forth and so on so there's that resistance factor But you have to listen to your heart You have to do what is going to make you feel alive if you're now I Have family members that work the nine to five job and we're actually nine to seven job and they are truly happy They're fine with it there They don't feel a disconnect or a discord in their life and that's great if you Live that and you don't feel like there's a discord and that's by all mean means a bird of a different feather altogether But if you're in that place or that space where you're like I Don't like what I'm doing anymore. This is just not making me feel fulfilled I'm not getting enough out of this and the next thing you know What do you start doing you start nitpicking on the people that you love the most the people that are in your house You start taking it out on your spouse. You start taking it out on your children and that it's truly because you're not living in alignment With who you really are what your spirit really wants for you and once you start to make that shift You're gonna see your whole entire household is going to shift So I am a huge advocate of everything that you are saying absolutely It I year and you're so right like I don't see my sister for example She is a stay-at-home mom by choice her and her husband made that decision and she's got three kids I swear to God. She is busier than most human beings I know with three kids school soccer piano gymnastics not to mention She's a big cook so she cooks all of their meals, you know And I don't and I think about what if she had a full-time job on top of that now Yeah, again, some women really enjoy that they really enjoy going into the office, but I know some women I've heard so many of my friends complain that when you know, their kid has a Recital at school. They have to go and request time from their boss to step away for an hour To go and watch their child do a school play which we know and in most people's hearts The most important event of that day is being there for their child at their school play, right? And as you're saying that April I'm thinking about and it is it is a leap of faith It really is to decide that you are going to start doing content or broadcasting or or anything That that's that's away from the norm right that the normal template that we that we think of nine to fives But you know as they say a lot It's not the the quantity of the time you work for the quality of the time you work And I know like for example for the moms watching right now like we were supposed to film this last week But we got I got my schedule mixed up and it was no big deal because we don't have a corporate CEO boss that we have to go To so if you're a mom from home and you're you're your school cause and the kids sick Are you all of a sudden last minute need to go to a baseball game when you're doing this stuff? Not only does it make your heart happy when you're actually creating content that you enjoy and you're you're connecting with like-minded people But when you're able to be flexible with your schedule in order to do your primary job Which I know for most people that is their first love is being that mother and and you know and being able to take your kids To school and not worry about rushing off to work You can come home and then kind of have your own and how important is that you're thinking of like working for yourself? Versus all of these women and men who are doing full-time jobs and full-time care for their their loved ones or their Elderly parents or their children. They don't have much time for themselves. Do they no and if there's I For me personally, it's the ultimate freedom I've always Been an archer entrepreneur. I've always been a 1099. I've never really ever been a W2 to employee because it's just not my DNA right, but even when I was working like in the corporate world so to speak and when You are Working for someone else even though no matter you may have freedom within that You still feel bound and tied to someone or something else You still are you still are handcuffed so to speak and when you're really able to release those handcuffs It is the most liberating. It's the most spring. It's the best experience ever When you know that you can Do what you want Feel good about what you're doing and also on top of I mean, let's be realistic You could do what you want, but if you're not making any money. Yeah, it's not gonna work, right? you have got to also earn an income to be able to support this type of lifestyle and That I thought of one thing before I was gonna say something Just even the smallest things I remember when Alex was in school and You know, yeah, he gets he would get done school like 2 33 o'clock in the afternoon and I had the freedom to be able to pick them up You know go and pick them up in the loop All those years, right? Yeah, it's like our time together, right? We would have like these nice little talks, right? And those little moments those those little moments that people that may take for granted They're very very special and they go and stretch for you know, not only a lifetime But memories but being just being able to say, you know what? Yes, I can pick you up from school I can drop you off at school or if you need to come home early or whatever the case may be however, you peel that orange apart the bottom line is you have your freedom and that Priceless you cannot put a price tag on your freedom, but Similarly, yes, you do need to make money, right? If you want to maintain that type of lifestyle, which is why Jay and I are Huge advocates. We've always been huge advocates about people having their own show It is the best way to Express yourself, you know, I was thinking the other day When there's something that you're struggling with and you feel like you just got to get it off your chest You either call one or two people either pick up the telephone if your mom's still alive, right? You pick up the phone you call mom and you know, let it out, right or you pick up the phone You talk to your friend and you let it out. You release that Stress or that anxiety and then by the time you get off the telephone. Oh my gosh You're laughing you're having a great time and you like all that energy and all that negativity just dissipated Similarly having your own show allows that same type of freedom It allows you to speak freely and release those whether there's Toxins or negative thoughts or energies or similarly on this on the flip side You're having a great experience and a great moment and you just feel like you want to share with people when you start speaking you start Releasing and you also start opening yourself up and it's the greatest way, you know, there's a lot of people that They ask us all the time How do I actually get started? How do I how do I start this? Well, the first thing you need to do is Open your heart and a lot of people have a tremendous blockage around their heart They have a tremendous amount of blockage. I even had it myself for a long for many many years Especially growing up. I had a blockage in my throat chakra because I was constantly first suppressed by my parents being like Okay, let me just before I say what I'm about to say I grew up in a very classic Italian household Okay, my mother was tough as nails. My father was tough as nails beautiful people, right? And I had a great childhood, but they also grew up in a very Rigid environment and that trickled down, right? So as I was growing up It's not like it was today. It was like you're a child and your voice means nothing So my voice was constantly being suppressed because I was told like, you know Don't don't say that I heard that all my life. Don't say that don't talk about that. Don't do this day Oh, you know, so you just suppress it and you suppress and suppress it So for the longest time, I had a very very difficult time Speaking or not so much speaking speaking my truth, right? Right and allowing my my my and allowing myself to be able to speak from my heart that took many Many years of developing in that developing that and it happened Through the show, you know, we've interviewed now. I've lost count It's like well into the couple thousands of people that we've interviewed and it's been a progression of all these years Just constantly opening myself up opening my heart up and allowing myself to really Speak freely and and and speak with an open heart and open mind and not have that constant Thing over your head where you're like, you know, no, you can't say that Or no, don't do that, you know And once you start to break that pattern and for people that have a closed heart or people that have trouble speaking their truth Having your own show literally is going to force you to start speaking For you to open your heart and force your throat chakra to start clearing out I couldn't agree more with you and as you're saying that even though you come from a strict Italian background I was thinking god that's the same growing up in the south, you know as a southerner with a southern family like One of my favorite things I've heard recently because my mother used to say that to us Don't rock the boat or just keep the peace like don't say anything And I saw something that said yeah, but whose piece are you trying to keep when you do that? But it is so hard and you are so right april And as you're saying that I keep thinking about all of our friends watching right now I get so many emails and I know you and jay probably get these same emails Where people are stuck in jobs where they can't express themselves either they can't even express themselves on social media because That the corporate drone is always big brother is always watching and so their humanity their Personality the beautiful corkiness about them starts to get stifled Yes, and you of course you deal with everybody deals with trolls on social media doesn't matter who you are You can be mother teresa. You could be jesus himself and you're gonna get trolled That's nature of the beast, but you do get thick skin With that and you also find other like-minded people and your day and your time just gets so much more enjoyable In your life because you're not having to be somebody That you're not and you're able to and your truth is out there Like it's who you are is out there people love you are they don't and you find the people that Really love you and it makes your life and as you're saying that too. I'm thinking you know I um I study a lot and we talk a lot on this channel Another talk about like narcissism and narcissism to give you all that stuff and something interesting too about this whole thing that Maybe it made me reflect back on something that we've spoken about before Children and you were saying like as a child that generation children were to be seen not heard all that kind of stuff, you know Children pick up On dysregulation They don't know what it is and somebody said this and I thought it was awesome. So a child a small child Knows as that their survival is dependent upon their parents or whoever their guardians are And so if a parent Is dysregulated? Meaning you're exhausted. You're snappy. You're tired The child who especially the more empathic child will start to hone in on that and try to fawn you in order to And that's when they grow up. That's when they start attracting narcissists all that kind. It bleeds Yeah, so for a lot of parents when I when I when I think about dysregulated adults I think sometimes we go to the extreme of a narcissist or a borderline But it can just be an overworked parent Who is is tired and snappy because they're exhausted. They have not had five minutes to themselves I mean, I know most moms don't even go to the bathroom by themselves until their kids are in college Like everybody's got I heard a comedian say it had been years. She had been to a guy in a college. There's not a kid sitting on her head You know, you know, like most moms you don't have that and so In order and I think too sometimes we confuse, you know for the the money aspect Yes, you need to be pulling in money And when you have a broadcasting when you have a caught a channel on youtube The possibilities Of making money are literally endless And I told jay this morning april that i'm just so grateful for him because he's helped me understand how to how to even outsource myself even more And and that is something and and people like what am I gonna do, you know, and I tell We said this in our course. I'm like, you can put anything on youtube some of the most The biggest channels are people cleaning their houses Exactly putting on makeup or doing your hair or whatever. Yeah, I mean There's so many ways to make money. It's incredible. So if you're thinking, okay, well, that's great They're they're all talented, but what can I possibly do? I promise you there is something in your life that you are talented at I promise you there is something in your life that you're a little bit better at than everyone else and there's a huge misconception that people that are on youtube or or social media that They're looked at in many people's eyes as experts, right? But that's really a misconception And don't let that be a stumbling block. You do not need to be an expert in any specific field What you need is passion charisma and an absolute Knowing and wanting to succeed if you have those elements It doesn't matter about what you're talking about because your authenticity is going to shine through So remember this All you need to know if you want to start a channel is a tiny bit more Than someone else that you're talking to that is it if you know a little bit more That's it. You can just start talking next thing, you know, you start grab it. People start gravitating And they start resonating with your message and they're resonating with your energy I think a lot of times praise people get so Caught up in What if what if i'm not good at it? What if i'm not as good as you know, the influencers and No one ever starts out as an influencer. Okay Let's be very clear here. You don't start out of the gates as an influencer And not only that you don't go at least I've never met anybody and we work with a lot of influencers I've never met one person that ever said i'm going to start a youtube channel to become an influencer No, yeah Right you start a youtube channel and then It starts to grow and then it grows more and then it's it's an evolution Um, there are those cases, you know, oh somebody puts a uh a video up and it goes viral next thing, you know You know, they're at the top of They're they're at the they're at the top of the um The um Top of the algorithms if that happens to you god bless you. All right, but in the interim Just know that It's a progression and don't go in it with the with the concept of Expecting this that and the other just go in it with an open heart Go in it with like i'm going to have fun with this if you just take the attitude of let's have fun It's something different. I'm going to shine my personality. I'm going to share my my passion and I'm going to let my charisma Be my leading force, right? That is all you need That is it Have fun with it. I agree with you You know, I used to say on my channel that I was an amateur researcher just so people understood like I do There's nothing I'm doing that's any different than anybody else can do. I just happen to enjoy Sneaking and looking at people from the past and like being petty like I just happen to enjoy that right Like that's what I enjoy and you're so right, you know And that's what with the whole like disreg if you are one of those people you feel like your adrenal glands are shot You're got a demanding boss. You've got children pulling at you. You haven't gone to pee by yourself in like 10 years You know, you're you're imagine how much more regulated you would be as a human Um And how much more your children would enjoy you because you were regulated if you got to I I told our I don't know if I've said this on a show I told our our j&i's course this though My aunt is in real estate and right when I Decided that I was going to try to open up a youtube channel. My mom told my aunt And my aunt was like that's fantastic because she had just worked with a client Who was like a multimillionaire because of his youtube channel? Do you know what he did on youtube? cleaned oriental rugs He's really good at cleaning rugs right He just makes videos and shows you how to do it. That's amazing. That is just an awesome example of You can make money. There's a million ways to sun to someday to make money on The internet you just have to find your niche Believe in yourself And allow yourself to just enjoy the experience and you know what the best part about recording is especially when you're recording Pre-recording like we're doing right now if this flops You're just hit the delete button button again You do it again. Exactly And you know, um brice even today Even after all of the interviews that jay and i've done we still can interviews. Yeah. Oh, yeah If if we finish an interview and it And for whatever reason it it's not up to the level that we expected to be at We'll pull the show. We won't even send it through editing or anything and we'll just say to the person either You know, I apologize. Um, I'd like to reschedule this or redo it And we just 86 and we're done with it and that's the great thing and you know what not only that Even if you upload the show and then you decide later Maybe not you can delete it. Yeah, nothing is permanent That is the best part about it. Nothing is permanent permanent. So don't take everything so seriously That's the other thing too. I think a lot of people get tripped up on They get so wound up and so you know, so tense over it about if I do something wrong Let that go Yeah, let it go and just enjoy the experience Oh, you're so right. There's actually there's been times where I will film a whole episode just by myself of a deep dive And I go back to sit to edit edit it. I'm like I can tell the story better delete Exactly play back and be like I can actually do a better job. Let me redo this, you know And and yeah and and honestly april you're so right because people are striving for like this sense of perfection Exactly. It doesn't exist Right and you're imperfections. Your corkiness is what's going to set you apart from other people too You know, and I just I just hope that I think and think about this on it because I'm you know this idea of collective We have three karmas. We're working with our own karma our lineage and collective consciousness So if we look at this from a collective everybody wants the white hats to come in wants to do all this Well, what if we're the white hats and what if all of it takes is we all just shipped ourselves Just exactly I I'm so in alignment with you. I think we're actually both You know, um, I think we are the dark hats the black hats and I think we're also the white hats Similarly the energy that we harness, right? We are both energies We have light and dark energies within us the key to this whole enchilada is Balance, right? It's bad learning how to balance the two energies and I could tell you from experience that um I've sparked some phenomenal ideas when I'm in Or working with my dark energy All right, so a lot of people, you know, we're like the dark the dark the dark. Hmm erase that Phenomenal things can come out of when you learn how to harness and balance the dark with the light All right. Now when people say, oh, I'm all light. I'm all light. I'm all light I don't think you're gonna be on earth if you're all light all light all light All right, you're not going to be on this level of dimension as we are right now in this world today We're always as long as we're on this walking on this earth plane You're always going to have The dark and the light it is just it it's it's A part of who we are we're on a polarized planet. So polarized planet exactly so the key in the yang That's the yang and the yang exactly and the key to the whole thing is just learning how to balance both sides now the other thing too, I think it's very very very important for people to Tap into that dark side of them because how are you ever going to enjoy and experience a light if you shy away from the dark You have to understand and you have to learn How to work within the dark side because we all have it you can't just keep pushing it away and pushing it away or pushing You're never going to grow no And what you're saying we talk about this a lot to it. That's the friction. So you're so right, you know When we talk about your we are your shadow side your dark side We're not talking about you going out there and murdering a bunch of people. We're talking about your own and that is what My friend Cindy from sacred who I teach for twice a week. She's awesome. She's been on the channel a lot She is kind of a master at working in in the dark side of her clients like using it Using that path to kind of help you like trigger Yes It's um, and I use that that we call it friction. Um, you know the the match You have a match everybody knows what a match looks like it has everything it needs to light But it can't light unless it's struck up against a match book You need that friction in order And you're right I never even thought about that april's that that playing itself out with people wanting to be perfect And if they're not perfect shutting down and and this idea that and you're right. Yeah, we um in the traditional yoga world No one really even says light and love because we always say when you come into a spiritual path The first thing you're going to meet is your darkness. It's going to come up big time They're gonna come up big time Yeah, it's gonna come smack you right there across the face It will you you will be busting your ass like realizing I tell my students, you know in the yoga practice I'm like you kind of all of a sudden you go But it's in that moment, you know, it's almost like sometimes when you watch a movie It's like the anti hero the villain all the sudden starts to become the The the person you're rooting for because there's there's human There's there's this humanness to them and again guys don't twist this We're not talking about what the the controls of the world We're talking about the average human being the the lower chakras the you know and for me Like I say like I realized you know I can be petty and a lot of times the petty things I say are just in my head But I realized when I'm doing a Show myself by myself when I'm doing a deep dive when I let that come out the petty things come out That's when people respond the most to my because because they're thinking the same thing and so you start to You know see those imperfections and I'm so glad you brought that up And in part of the the shadow side the dark side is insecurity In lean and just taking a chance and and Marnie Alton Who is one of my favorite human beings even though we've only briefly spoken she's a bar teacher I love and she says amazing things in her classes and one time she said um And I'm paraphrasing when we get to the precipice of change whether that's In an exercise class or on youtube or just wanting to change your life All of a sudden we start to want to fall back Into the old pattern because the devil you know Is better than the devil you don't know What happens is when you feel that precipice of change coming you just kept going You'd break through a hell of a lot of barriers Absolutely You would break through so many barriers Literally the world at that point you are the master of your destiny If you can just keep going and going and going and that Takes practice Right and it's well worth it I even I can you know even from my own experiences You Feel like you know you keep pushing pushing and pushing and then you're like You you go back down and you're like, I don't know if we're running to go there quite yet, right? But you and that's okay because you can pull back But you got to go back forward and if you pull back you're Reassessing you're reevaluating you're reorganizing you're rethinking you're restructuring So it's okay if to pull back while you're in that restructuring frame of mind But don't go back so far that it's going to not allow you to move forward because when you do go back It's like a right. It's like it's like a right And then you will literally once you go back And then you're ready to go back forward again You're going to leap and you're going to spring forward further than you ever even imagine and then also Here's the big thing too you have to have faith and trust You have to have faith and trust not only in your own ability But you have to have faith and trust that the universe got you back you have to have faith and trust to know that If you are moving in alignment with what your heart and soul want You have to have faith and trust to know that the universe is going to back you 100% 1 million percent when you're in alignment and you're moving in the direction that your soul wants to move in The universe is going to fuel that energy and they're going to catapult you now What happens is oftentimes there will be a block right and you're like, where did that come from? I wasn't expecting that. Well, sometimes that's the universe's way of saying, you know what? Don't go that way go this way Course correct. Yeah, right, right exactly. So when you Have those moments and you're like, I wasn't expecting that now my whole game is thrown off You know my my plans all out of whack know that you know what? It's probably because you were going in this direction when the universe is wanting you to go this way So you have to Trust yourself. You have to trust the universe One, you know, it's so as you're saying that I I shared this book with jay once I'm just going to share it again guys because what um What abril's talking about is covered a lot and this is what was one of the most Astounding books I read I lent my copy once to somebody never got it back But it's flow the psychology of the optimal experience Wow, I'm going to put a link in the description box below for this book. It is one of the best Books on the human psychology and what it means to be in the flow state And what actually start to happen when you're in that flow state and to you know one thing I've and we I've noticed in before on youtube in the ashtanga world, especially with my clients and students and myself And this can also be seen in the world of create of creating content or something else Like you know the traditional yoga practice is really hard. It breaks your body down And I've noticed with a lot of students including myself that before there's a breakthrough Like before you're able to actually get your leg behind your head or do a drop back stand up before that happens Usually there's a couple of weeks Of a lot of pain and you feel like you're stepping backwards and your body is falling apart And just writing that out letting it be that way and then all of a sudden the body takes that leap And moves into a new territory and I think the same can be said In life as well at least I've noticed those patterns in my life Times in my life where I feel like I'm being held And everything's in there forces against me and all that kind of stuff if I just breathe into that All the sudden there's another breakthrough and it usually comes from another avenue In the same umbrella of things opening up if that makes sense and just and I know I I struggle with anxiety So I get when that when things like that happen people like oh no, it's over it's done But I love that just breathe for a moment and trust that the universe has your back And you are if you're in that flow state then you were in alignment in the now And we know especially from a course in miracles that the idea of god Or whatever you want to label that higher consciousness source lives in the now Not in the past or the future but here in the now And so being in that flow brings you to that point of Inner security if I'm on the path I am supposed to be on and something else I was telling my friend kelly this I saw this on instagram at instagram I thought this is genius You know this girl was talking about how the power of thoughts and being grateful and all those things to change and how people Have a hard time they want to change where they have a hard time changing their thought process And something simple that she started doing and I've started doing it too You know in life we always say prepare for the worst-case scenario worst-case scenario worst-case scenario Well every time that is putting a message to the universe. That's what you want So how instead In the morning, yeah in the morning you wake up and go. What's the best-case scenario for this day? Well, look at your energy. Yeah, look at how your energy shifts when you when you say and you do that and you're embracing that When you're embracing that energy, you're allowing the universe to come in and and say, you know what? um Really it's like you're giving gratitude You're giving gratitude and There's your faith and your belief that the universe has your best interest at heart. It's so easy I love what you just said because it is so easy to go down the negative Nellie road Yeah, it's so easy and all we have to everything that we're talking about really boils down to a one thing It's your mindset right um once you Have the mindset to be able to say, you know what? Wait a minute. I can either have a really crappy day Or I can wake up and have an absolutely fantastic day I can either expect the worst to happen today or I can absolutely expect the best Why would you not want to expect the best? Yeah Primarily, it's because we've just been so Programmed so the other thing is too. There's that whole agenda of being programmed, right? We've been literally programmed to Be mediocre We've been programmed to accept mediocre as you know, great. We've been programmed to accept Just have enough To pay your bills Even today People are afraid to say I want to be rich I want to be wealthy Well, think of it from this perspective It's your birthright Yeah, it is your god given God is given birthright To be wealthy to be successful to be smart to be healthy We have been programmed to believe that our birthright is to be unhealthy Our weight depressed and broke Yeah You know what it is too as you're saying that it's so interesting because I you know, I grew up in a Presbyterian home. I'm sure You being a Italian probably Catholic. So we had this like religious The jesus story and they told us he was a poor boy and he was born in this this like Farm a manger, you know and as you're saying that and I think that kind of set us on this this idea that in order to be Holy or good you have to be In in suffering right or in poverty and that god will provide god will provide Well, my friends if that's if you look at your programming if you grew up like april nine And you had that kind of shoved in your face although funnily enough the Presbyterian church most Presbyterian churches are pretty wealthy people So that's actually kind of hysterical that they try that on Presbyterians But um all doctors and lawyers and all that kind of stuff But I was in my research when I especially when I was into the missing books really going through the missing books The bible I was looking at a lot of these archaeologists finds and I've really been reading through theses and all that kind of stuff And lawsuits lawsuits, they're fine And a lot of these archaeologists who worked with like language specialists went back through these texts Jesus's father joseph Was not a carpenter. That was a mistranslation which I believe was I personally believe was done on purpose He was an architect A very wealthy one very wealthy extremely wealthy extremely wealthy. So jesus Was not poor no At all and in fact the fact that he had money Meant that they're they're missing books in the bible that he wrote himself. He was educated, right? He spoke multiple languages. It meant that he was able to find throughout the middle east Poor people don't travel throughout the middle east Especially with an entourage so re-skept re-wage if you're someone that's a follower of the christian faith then kind of Rethink that for a moment the common sense there like if I want to I've been very blessed to be able to travel But those plain tickets cost money Right same thing back then they had to pay For to feed the donkeys to feed the horses to make you know There was a lot that went into that cost money So obviously common sense would tell you he came for money He had money and he was trained to be a architect too. He was a carpenter. That was a mistranslation He was an architect So so rethink that a little bit, you know, like how you see that story and how that implies in your life Absolutely. I mean when you think about the three wise men, right? They brought They brought baby jesus or yeshua or whatever you that resonates with you. Um frankincense mer Gold. Yeah They would not I mean if you think about it from that perspective that is something that you bring royalty Exactly You do not bring that to poverty No, no at all. So but you know in interest, I mean, there's so many different variations of and and concepts of why he Was not core, but I don't even know if you know this. We did an entire series with ethan Ethan um, ethan lucas we did a series called The rich jesus I'll have to check it out. It's awesome. I it was one of my I really really love the series We probably did like 14 shows with him and he debunked Every myth about jesus being broke And for those that really want to dive in and learn more about that. They're actually all posted. They're all hosted on The gnostic tv network And it's a phenomenal series if people want to learn more about it And that's that's a may I'll put a link to that to the gnostic tv network down below guys because yeah that We know like I tell people I'm like the missing books the bible tell you the real story The one that was about the free mace of y'all like And you see what they're doing they're keeping us in a low vibration that in order to be holy you have to be a renunciate You have to be poor. I mean The in indian culture how many of the of the incarnations of god in the indian culture are dripping in diamonds and gold You are reading my mind. Okay, so let me say this to you when I was saying it's your god or god is given Birthright. I was about to say look at any Picture or or image of any god or goddess In any type of religion mythology doesn't make it doesn't matter. They are dripping In gems precious gemstones diamonds gold pearls you name it you don't see any of them looking broke or poor Right. No, no They're god god is given birthright as it is ours as above so below Right and there's enough on this planet to go around. That's another myth that there's not enough to go around I believe in a god. I believe in a source. Why the hell Would this source Create us as a fractal of light from that god and then put us on this earth to be Living in huts made of mud and going to the bathroom on the ground like that. No, that's not that's not what And people who do have a very giving heart, you know The more money that you bring in the more you can do You can volunteer your time at a soup kitchen at a you know a rescue shelter It's going to give you that flexibility to be of more of more service to others And it's funny april j and I were talking about that this morning about getting rid of this myth That you have to be poor and in order to be valuable spiritually or to be valuable You know in the sense of your integrity just getting rid as as jay said send it back to hell from what's it came Exactly. I think that especially in the spiritual genre This is such a wrap rampant It's like a disease. It's like it's fake news too. It's propaganda It's propaganda. It is fake news. Absolutely. You know, I heard a saying once um, someone said and I couldn't agree anymore um, wait, let me think about it was um Uh, oh my gosh It's about being rich. Hold on Oh, I'll think of it in a second. It's like the perfect Perfect saying to it. It'll come back to me in a second, but Yes, that is I think not only is it a lie. It's criminal Oh for sure. Well, it is absolutely energy You can't and we and I know because in uh And and my boyfriend gets upset about this because people will try to come to our business and want to practice for free because it's yoga And we're like, well, we had to pay money To go to school in india my teacher in india who's the param guru of the ashtanga lineage You don't practice until you've paid your tuition You know, he's got a whole staff. He has to pay he has lights He's got to keep on and and they say, well, you know, there's all these stories of these indian gurus teaching people for free No, no, no, no, no, no It's an exchange of energy. So what was happening? With these little boys that would go live with krishmacharya and he would teach them yoga for free Well, they were working for him too. They were exactly That's They were if you want to go live at our shala and clean it every day and dust it and check people in Then we can negotiate. Yes. There was an exchange of energy I was you took the words right out of my mouth. It is it That's the other thing how people have to look at money Money is an exchange of energy and right now in the world that we live in today You need money to survive and that is the bottom line. You know, when we went to india Like at least 16 years ago now We met a Traditional indian hindu guru. I mean like the real deal the white beard down to here and the hair and the Turban in the shoes and the whole I mean exactly how you a picture a guru And he had said to us then that we need and should always have At all times five resources of income coming in Now that came from a true indian guru Told us we need five sources of income coming in at all times so, you know It's my my grandfather my late grandfather who died a very wealthy man used to say that um, he used to say you need multiple Multiple income sort income streams coming in. Um, he would always say do not put all your eggs in one baskets And he had you know, he's my grandfather who had the near-death experience in his 40s I'm you know, pretty much died then came back into his body and after that moment I mean, I only knew him after it. Um, but everybody says that there was a huge shift in him after that and he had This big presence and he he very much now He died a very wealthy man the final time the second time he died this life the final time He died a very wealthy man, but he was also With that money that he ended up making He in the in the second half of his life you guys like after the age of 45 Like he he had his near-death experience was like middle class and after that He took off and started do you know and that comes down to this ultimately every fear We have comes to the fear of death once you don't fear death anymore You're limitless and so he started he patent all these pillows. He had all these these he just started doing these things Oh when I was growing up He was constantly in the community helping helping other people So he was using that to also help others get you know He was constantly paying for people to emigrate over here getting them lawyers getting them jobs so that they could start the american dreams So they could start to support their families and and start that you know So he was also giving but he was making a lot of money too And he would say that to us all the time april like we were kids It's even way to name understanding we're talking about he'd be like multiple streams of income always always always always And so um and that and again back to like with this alignment with this being regulated as a human being feeling fulfilled By what you're doing during the day having that flexible schedule youtube Or rumble bit shoot that is the starting point that's going to give you multiple revenues of income and it's limitless what can start to happen And so I mean it's isn't able like people often think oh, you're just putting yourself on the internet That's that you get your adsense. No adsense is so cool Yeah, you know I um I admire your grandfather too because he was literally living And endorsing the 5d economy, right? He was creating abundance by helping other people create abundance. And that's the other thing too when you are living In a wealthy and rich mindset. Let's kind of just go back for one second It is impossible. I don't care what anybody says to you. You will never Be wealthy or rich. I'm just using those words, right? Whatever your interpretation of wealthier riches because it's all relative But you can never get there if you have a broke mindset So the first thing that you need to do is take that broke mindset and literally throw it in the trash or what jay says Send it back to hell where it belongs Okay You have to shift your mindset That is the first thing you need to do is to shift the mindset and and say to yourself. I am worthy I am worthy to receive all of the greatness in life. That is why we are here. We are here. You were Brought here. Are you incarnated here on earth? If you want to just break it all apart And what is the bottom line? You were here to enjoy life. You're here to be happy That is truly listen. You can put a million tags on yourself. I'm this I'm mad. I'm whatever the bottom line is You are here to find your happiness and be happy and enjoy the experience Enjoy the experience of this earth life. Okay When you start to enjoy the experience That's when the mind starts to shift and the energy starts to shift and the vibration in your frequency And you start connecting with like-minded people and you start At that point Easily starting to create multiple sources of income because you're you're the ideas are flowing now And once the ideas start flowing, you know, it's kind of like You're an artist or or a writer, right? And you get writer's block and you're sitting there and you're looking at the paint the canvas and nothing is happening Or you're sitting at the computer and you're just like You know nothing's happening, but The moment you take that brushstroke or the moment that you're like, you know what? I'm just going to write the first paragraph or the first chapter or the first outline The moment that you take action Inspiration starts flowing because for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction to the reaction to the action is creation And that's when you're not evolving you're dying like you're either evolving or dying like that's it So when they're when it's stuck and you just take that you're so you're so right at apple because it's that then that Flows the reaction to the action that you've taken and you're in control of that. You are the person you you're a fractal of god like How dare you think you deserve to be broke like you're a fractal of god and you're right We came it's so funny. I was laughing I had I was laughing as you were saying this because they're the casio peon spoke about this We we read that we followed the casio peon and they talked about a long long long long time ago Third density the density were in everybody in third density knew everything they came to this planet without the veil of amnesia And they had so much fun Because they knew the end result that it took they they they evolved in consciousness at a snail's pace Because they came here and they were just enjoying the food and like Living the good life on earth because they knew what so they were like really it was like it was like Let's get to third density because that's the part You know and and they had to this the spiritual world had to like put an amnesia over us Just to speed us up a little bit because they're like all right guys Can't you can't you got to keep going so you're so right like being able You know, I always laugh about planet earth if it if it uh, there was a yahoo review left for planet earth It would be like people are kind of gangster, but the french fries are really good Yes and like how and that's that best case scenario when you're asking the universe for the best It's going to keep giving you stuff to continue working in that pattern You know and and so I and I know that's hard Like if you're somebody watching right now and you grew up maybe in an abusive home or anything like that That's really hard to start thinking of yourself as worthy is worthy for that And trust me if you guys if you if you if that's something that if there's a lightning bulb Moment where you're like I have a hard time thinking of myself is is that I would also suggest finding a good trauma therapist to help you Break out of that happen as well because you know you you can course correct that you can use that darkness Right as as april was saying that shadow side that darkness Use that to then friction you into to the opposite of that and so so april I know I can talk to you all day. I know we're coming up at an hour I know we could like talk all day We should do a panel of all females as we talk about going into eventually into this new this as we're conscious shifting Into this new awareness because listen y'all it's return to the divine feminine And if you do study the the light and dark path and I don't want to freak anybody out because again We're not talking about the controllers. That's a totally different level of psychotic darkness We're talking about your own shadow your own stuff The dark path is the feminine path And everybody and that's also the intuitive path And you think about that too like when a sperm hits an egg egg is creation Our light is creation when the sperm hits the egg. There's a flash of light that creation happens but Then after that flash of light happens and it's created the embryo is created It's in darkness for nine months as it grows and changes true Mm-hmm. They need each other Then the dark and the in the light need each other in order to create this beautiful place We live on so don't be afraid of that anger that Jealousy that that darkness like use that as a starting point as a friction a place of friction for your own Your own creation and so april we are so we are doing and jay and you are such geniuses to be able to kind of create this My Viewers watch right now. You can text brice media To three two one two one six eighty forty seven april. I've told jay before it's his phone number and my mama's phone number There's like the two numbers I remember now and if my mama doesn't if I get arrested and my mama doesn't pick up I'm calling jay Jay will have to come bail me out because the only other number I know about right now But three two one two one six eighty forty seven that will also be in the description box below You just text brice media to that number that is jay So you will directly speak with jay and you guys have set up this amazing resource To help people get started with so many different like topics and things to do Do you want to explain that a little bit april? Yeah, I would love to um, it's called the attract everyone academy attracting everyone academy and you know, um, how it even came to be was really through a sia um when we went to the diamond summit in saint thomas There was only less than 35 people in the entire world that made that convention and we were one of them and um Everyone there came up to us and they kept asking us. Well, how did we do it so fast? How did we get to this level of double diamond in in less than a year? And when we got back not even when we got back when we were there we're like, we need to you know Right put this down and into like I don't want to call it a course because it's not a course It's something very very unique where People like yourself will ask a question and then jay and I answer the question and What we've done is you know before we started spiritually we're all our background in sales and marketing So we literally I mean between the two of us there's over 50 years of sales and marketing expertise and experience So we wanted to put all of that knowledge and how and what we've learned and also the mistakes That we've made so other people don't make the same mistakes So they don't make the same financial mistakes that we've made So it cuts out a whole lot of fat it gets right to the core It helps it's mind body spirit and prosperity We literally put all the core ingredients together into one academy and jay's actually working on A series right now. It's called the secrets to broadcasting riches I'm doing the secrets to interview riches and I also started a series within it Called the 12 universal laws and that really helped people put things into perspective and then in between those series there's like Dozens many dozens like I don't even know how many we're up to now like 60 Questions from people like yourself and other influencers that asked us questions and we answered them in little Nuggets they're four to five minute nuggets. So they're very easy to watch very easy to absorb There's music in the background So it's very like relaxing and it's an easy easy way to learn a lot of information in a short bite-size amount of time and It's we're really really enjoying not only creating the course, but again are You know, if if we could ever go down in history as something I would love to go down in history as you know, the ones that really helped Make the movement towards the 5d economy, which is creating abundance by helping others create abundance That is truly the way it was always meant to be and it's just going back to like the grassroots of creating and the grassroots of development development and creation and Mindset it teaches, you know, it's it's for people that are in a mindset funk and they can't snap out of it Or they can't break through patterns there's so many little bite-sized nuggets of videos on how to How to raise your vibration how to raise your vibration and keep it there how to Manifest its manifestation. It's abundance. It's creating it's Broadcasting riches it's interview riches. So it's really it's it's really everything that we've done over the past, you know, 25 years into Bite-sized nuggets in an academy. That's so helpful because so many people who want to start a channel April might like Know some things but have just questions about a couple of things and they can go to the menu and find what they're looking for And it's amazing because you know Something that I and that's just what jay has helped me be able to market my strong suits with this and it's like You know, I don't know if people really know this but before I went to india Just said screw it all and packed my bags and went to india I had gone to college for a whole different thing and I studied story time That's that's why I know how to storyboard and how to and so with our last course that we just ran That's what I to help people know how there is a secret to putting You know, I tell people all the time like you can find one subject one story Look on youtube and find two different crater craters who cover the same topic Look at the one that has the highest views and the one that has the low views It's the same topic. How come one person's video is more exciting to watch than the other There's a secret. They know what they're doing with the storyboarding and I can and I can absolutely help people with that And I didn't even realize until I started talking to jay that that's a skill I actually paid a lot of money in school to learn With all the different philosophers and people that and and now I can make it very simple for you and really, you know help you Get your content put together to make it entertaining and make your videos catch, you know, so I'm just so incredibly valuable I cannot stress enough the importance of that because that is another stumbling block That people have and now that you're able to come in and be like, okay, listen, I have a plan We're gonna execute it and you're giving people very specific steps of how to do it Listen, I don't care what field you're in. I don't care what level of expertise you have I don't care what level of spirituality you have Everybody needs a mentor. Yeah, everybody needs a coach. Every look at the president. He's got a whole cabinet, right? And that's why every tickler's got like 10 extra people just to make sure you get to the stage Not this one, but you know, we know what we're talking about, but Why don't you go all and that's and there is guys there is a secret It's a very once you understand the method of storytelling. It's it's actually it's that's what it's called. It's a method Start to make sense and you start to realize why some people are better storytellers than others because they know the secret There is an actual Method to doing this and it can you're right april you can take even if you're not doing like a deep dive channel like I do Let's say you are cleaning oriental rugs on youtube How are you going to make that interesting to your viewers so that they watch your channel and not the other guys I don't want to do that. It's very simple and I will give you all the information I will tell you if you want a deeper look at it I will give you all the different philosophers who came up with this is the same method that people who write Playwrights use that that directors and hollywoods use That's why they can they can take um, have you I don't know if you guys are broadway fans, but there's a Play hamilton it's it's kind of fairly new And someone even said you took and it's a very tony winning an incredible play and someone's like you took some of the most boring parts of american history most absolute boring people In the american revolution and turned it into a tony award-winning play How they did that I know how they did that it's very simple And so I if you guys want you text brice media three two one two one six eighty forty seven I will be more than happy with jay and april to help you guys If that is yours now when it comes to business and stuff, that's not I need a jay. I told jay I mean jay like I thought I think I'd say that's jay or is how I talk it was like I need you like I don't You know, um, I we can and once you just know these few things your confidence when you have that clarity Exactly. Oh, that's how they're doing it. That makes sense once you understand that You will go and soar You know, I can't stress enough the value of that because what you are doing is Shaving down the time and all of your learning experience all of those years and you're saying listen I'm taking all of my experience Everything I'm learned and I'm going to show you exactly how you how you can do it in an easy to follow format That is worth gold Yeah, like I said, it can be on deep dives. It can be on storytelling. It can be on cleaning carpets It can be on it. What is it going to take to make it interesting for your audience? And once you know, you'll never have a boring video once you know, you're off. I'm gonna go Yes, you're off. Then you'll then you'll help you helping us in return. I was kidding And we just had an amazing course in April j and I did and I'm not going to say a bunch a bunch about our students content But I because I don't want to spoil it, but I am so excited. I don't know if j's told you a whole lot about Holy shit, we've got some really and we have one person are all of them actually took something Be common and pretty kind of like and they turned it into something that I cannot wait To see their channels open and I cannot wait to bring them on my channel So you guys can see because it is One of our our students I won't say her name because I don't want to embarrass her She had been sending me some rough footage of our first video and we tweaked a few things and she sent me her final video And embarrassingly after I watched it. I cried So You saw that ship When you see that ship, you know, you're like, okay now She she understands that she gets what that what the show that show biz kids like she gets like that magic and it was so entertaining and the way and I was like girl, you're gonna Soar with this like like the you figure you found it you you found it and now that you found it You're never gonna you're always gonna have it and that that little that little trick to it's not even a trick It's not it's just it's just figuring out how to how to basically put things together in a way that's and I can And it's very simple and so once you know it, you know it and I'm so excited There's so much potential out there and I think we live in the best It was the best of times and it was the worst of times, right? Like, you know, it's that shadow and light right as the world's falling apart around us In world war three is going to break out any day now We're also discovering these like nuggets of just you know, just sparkle everywhere and you know One of my favorite my favorite sayings. I don't know if you heard it April before it's like don't steal my sparkle. I love it Don't let the world steal your sparkle. You were you were born to sparkle So don't let the world steal your sparkle find that sparkle and bring it back and and you you you know, anyway So I know we've been going over an hour now april, but um you guys let me know in the comment section below if you have any like Questions or just something that we can look at um and then I can bring you back april and we can Maybe get some other of our female friends In this and doing this too to kind of come on and we can do a round table And I hope you guys for the men out there too.

There you go. We might not know where home is yet Going there together So we might get lost along the way, but at least we're trying to get there. So So anyway guys any parting words april before we sign off for today Yes, it's always such a joy I am so grateful to be in your energy and for anyone that is listening take a leap of faith Bryce you have extended such an incredible olive branch and you know looking back if I Was you know when we had first started out and I saw someone that was offering that I would have jumped on it In a new york second Because why wouldn't I why wouldn't I not want to take an olive branch from someone who is already successful Who's already where I want to be that is going to save you an enormous amount of time enormous amount of energy and an enormous amount of money, please take a leap of faith and and Follow your heart live in alignment and enjoy the experience 100 life is to be lived Yes, not to be ignored So all right you guys well, I hope you guys are all having a wonderful wonderful day Again, I look forward to continuing this conversation.

I believe we need it for economic growth. I mean to able to keep up with the cities around us. I believe that we need to have restaurants and things for people to do here. I mean, we have Super Bowl on Sunday, we have NASCAR. If we had a restaurant with TVs in it and drinks, I believe you're gonna make a big difference in the world. I mean, Paintsville doesn't really have a coal economy going. So we need every little thing to help our economy get started.

Hello everyone, this is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh and I'm here today to review with you the GAP Option Annual Letter subscription. This is a subscription service where you receive the trades emailed to you during the live day and you can take them and you can be at your office, you can be anywhere, you can take them yourself, you can call your broker to take them. There are no prerequisites, you don't have to have taken the Golden Gap course in order to sign up for the subscription service and it's an excellent way for people who are saving money to trade and open day trading accounts or pay for the Golden Gap course to get my trade calls and make money with this subscription service and build up their account. I've had an amazing win ratio which I'm going to go over here right now in this PowerPoint today. We're going to go over the trades since I started the letter subscription for 2016. If you would like more information, you can feel free to email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or give me a call at 929-3200-GAP. So what happened this year? Well, it was a good year for option trades. I learned a lot from doing them and the one amazing thing about options is that again it's the same principle I use my 26 point rating system when I make the calls. I make the calls based on the stocks that are gapping and that's one of the reasons why all the winners that I called moved immediately profitable right into the money. Then there were a few losers and we're going to go over each one of those. And the money management steps I have in place are to kill the losers at a half loss because like I said they were all going into the money for the winners so if something doesn't go right into the money and gets down half of the amount, I just kill it and take it out for money management rules. You can do what you choose to do with that and play it on out. Some of these are out for a month. However, I think the best thing to do knowing the way that I've been making such amazing calls this calendar year in 2016 is if you sign up for the letter really to take half of it out if it's at a loss. When you take an options trade you have a fixed risk. One contract equals 100 shares and it has each contract has a cost. We'll go over that in another webinar at some point in 2017. For now, those of you that know how to do options, this is a helpful tool to look back at the trades from the letter subscription for 2016 to see if you'd be interested in signing up for it and as I said before it's a way to build up your account and not have to have taken the golden gap course because there's no prerequisites and then eventually you can sign up for the class and save money in your trading account doing it by just taking my trade calls in August. There was the Facebook. I called this it was a loser. It did not run up to the 130 striker anywhere near it. It just capitulated down. That was a loser August 29th. I called Facebook again. This was a good winner ran right up into 132. That was a good one. August 11th was Baba huge, huge winner. Whether you did the 98s or the 100 calls, I called them both. They both worked huge winner and that worked no matter where you get out of it. September 21st, I called Baba 110 strike expiring 929. That was a winner. Good one to ran right up into the number of 110 almost right after I called it. All of these ones that I have called all of these options, they go right into the money as soon as I call them. I'm just getting them at the exact price, the exact price, the exact timing and I'm doing it because I'm doing it based on my golden gap 26 point rating system that I'm seeing it. It's just amazing. All of these winners ran right into the money. September 21st, Apple 115 and 120 calls. That was a winner. This was a good one too. September 22nd, Adobe 110 calls. Nice, nice winner. Again, when you're doing an option, it has to do with the timing. It has to do with the price you get it. You've got to get the direction right. You have to do that in any trade you take. Obviously. And you have to watch it, run it into the number with the momentum. You don't have to make money in an option to get it through the strike. You have to get it at a good price to get it into it. And I have been an expert in calling these at these exact perfect, perfect price points. September 27th, Amazon, this was a huge, huge, huge winner. 820 was a strike. When I called it, after I called it, it ran up to 847 and change. This ran almost 30 points over the strike. That was amazing. And it even did it in the time of the first one, even if you did the first one. Huge winner. Huge. I mean, that was an outstand. That ended up being the high of the stock actually for the year with this move up into that period. October 17th, Apple 125 expiring. That was a loser. Stock capitulated after that. Never went higher. The rest of the year just dropped. October 10th, Facebook, 132 and 140s. Either one you got. Winners. Then in November, I did Google. Google was a big one for this year. Made a lot of money on Google this year. Different ones I did. 800 expiring. That was a winner. It was expired 11-11. Nice one. 11-15, Google 780 calls. Again, winner. December 5th, Google 775 calls. Again, winner. Ran right up. Amazon, 12-14, I called Amazon calls. And that was a loser. That was a loser. Killed it. Flipped it. Did Amazon puts for 740? Or even could have done the 760s. Winner, winner, winner. So that was one where I did it and then I flipped it to get the money back from the loser from the 12-14 call. So all in all, there were three losers and 11 winners of the options letter results for the calendar. Year 14 trades were called. Again, all you had to do was take the trade when I gave it and watch your trade. 78% were win-ratio results. That is really good people. And again, you don't have to have taken the Golden Gap course to sign up for this letter subscription. And it is a way that I'm trying to help people to save money for the Golden Gap course and to day trade with me if they want to. So I decided to do until between now and the end of the holiday year. This is the largest discount I've ever done for this. This is a steal, people. I mean, I just showed you 14 trades. Three were losers. So I will never offer this at this price again. But I'm going to offer it in the next week between now and 12-31, 2016. If you want to sign up for the calendar year of 2017, the letter is normally $29.99. I'm offering it for $1,350. This is a trade letter subscription where the option trades are emailed to you in live time and you get them to your email. This is a holiday special I'm offering. Take advantage of it now. If you even think you'd be remotely interested in trading options or making money with options or my Gap course or seeing how the system works, this is a bargain price at any. And I just gave you all the trades and showed you the losers and the winners. So it's up to you. If you want to sign up, you will need to email me at melissa at thestockswush.com in order to register by the deadline. No exceptions, 12-31 is it. And again, like I said, I mean, it really is interesting to me how these have moved so quickly into the money. So quickly into the money. Just my ability to be able to predict a gap where it's gonna go in the direction and the timing and the entry is phenomenal. And it is based on my 26-point rating system. But you can take advantage of it by just signing up for this letter if you want and just get the trades. It's up to you what you want to do. If you're interested, email me at melissa at thestockswush.com. Have a fantastic holiday, everyone.

Okay, and so for Kai, Kai is the CEO of Mercurix, people and analytics startup focusing on computational psychology. He previously worked as a recruitment consultant specialising in tech. After working 10 years in the HR industry from recruitment to LND, Kai noticed a gap between companies and its people. Employers not knowing enough to bring out the best in their employees, a gap that can be closed using data. So, with a background in psychology and a passion for tech recruitment, he and his team at Mercurix plan to help companies big and small, hire, train and retain better through computational psychology from getting the right fit to correctly accessing performance. Yeah, and take it away Kai. Thanks, awesome. Yeah, thanks for having me. So, you already shared quite a bit about me. So, yeah, I actually graduated in the Bachelor of Psychology. So, yeah, not tech related. I spent many years in HR, everything from learning and development to internal HRBP to internal talent acquisition to recruitment consultancy. And when I was working as a recruitment consultant for one and a half years at Robert Walters, I was specifically recruiting for analytics. That means like data engineering, data scientist, business intelligence analyst, so on and so forth. That was my main focus. However, before we kind of start, I wanted to do a little poll on how many people are actually in this group right now are currently working in tech or who is not working in tech. And there's a yes and no. So, what you can do is you can go at the bottom, you can click on participants and there's a yes and no button. And like all of you, just if you are working in tech at the moment, click yes. If you are not working in tech, press no. Just to give me a kind of general feel. Okay, I can't see the results. So far it's 15 yes and 17 no. Okay, alright, so we got quite a few people not. Okay, that gives me a good kind of feel so I can focus on that a little bit more. Right. In that case, since I believe a lot of people are you are quite interested to kind of get into tech. I'll share a bit more on, focus a bit more on that. So yeah, obviously I'm not from a tech background. How did I get in this kind of position? It's a bit different. It's not really so much like an applying for a job. It's more like, yeah, I'm running company now. So it's a bit different. But the way that I moved into this space was that I saw there was a massive gap in data utilization within HR. And this was something like five years ago. I realized there was an under-utilization of training needs analysis data, training feedback data, data on performance evaluations and a whole lot of stuff like that. So that got me initially interested and I did online courses in data science. They had a lot of online courses back then. And what I actually then did is a bit unusual. So my next jump was actually to recruitment consultant and within an agency. And when I got that job, I only specifically requested to recruit for the data science slash analytics desk. I would only recruit these kind of people. And the reason I did that was because that gave me the opportunity to speak to these kind of people every single day for one and a half years. So I used to dig their people's brains. So imagine I interview people and I said, okay, what kind of data do you have available within your organization? How do you utilize that data? What did you build from that data? What kind of insights do you get out of that data? So this was basically my kind of job for one and a half years. And I was not so much focused on placing people other than just learning for myself. So generally when recruitment consultants interview somebody, they interview someone for like 15 to half an hour, half an hour. My interviews would go for like 45 minutes to an hour because I would go into detail. I had candidates sit down with me at the table and they draw me how the whole architecture, the database works and stuff like that. So that kind of got me on my own personal interest. And then I actually joined Mercuryx as a startup, initially as a product director and project manager. And then I took over as CEO one year ago. So I was in Mercuryx for close to two years now. But I took over as CEO a year ago. So yeah, what we do is in the domain of computational psychology. So we basically our company consists of psychologist and computer scientists. That's basically just so we have data scientists working together with organizational psychologists, mostly. We do projects and everything from population sentiment analysis, feedback analysis, topic analysis on what people are saying about what's going on. We do personality assessments, pre-employment assessments, job satisfaction surveys, things like that. We also do create models on assessing financial risk. That was for like a hedge for like a fund and things like that. So that's how we've been operating mainly for the past two years as a kind of consultancy firm. And we also now have a platform. We have two platforms, Selfie Corporate and Selfie Personal. I'm sharing links of people. We can try them out when you're free. Selfie Corporate is basically a behavioral assessment platform for organizations. So it lets you easily just log in, register, choose different types of behavioral assessments and send them out to your pre-existing staff or who if someone, if you want to hire somebody, it's like pre-employment assessments as well. And what I realized was that a lot of times these personality assessments or pre-employment assessments, they're siloed. What that means is that you usually do it once and it ends there. That data isn't being re-routalized in the future. So what we do is if you hire somebody and you have their initial assessment and you can tie it up with some pre-existing data about what kind of job they're doing, their pre-employment history, from there you can then track it. You can then compare their pre-employment assessment to some behavioral assessment within the team, to their job satisfaction surveys and so on and so forth. So we want to realize this kind of data from the start of the employee lifecycle all the way towards the end. We even provide exit surveys if someone leaves the company. So this is the kind of stuff we're doing. Recently, just one and a half weeks ago, there was mental health day. So we provide a mental well-being assessment and this is extremely important right now with COVID. So if any of you are part of a team currently or you're a team lead, you can actually log on to SelfieCorp.ai, go to the mental well-being survey and you can send it out to your colleagues. This is good so you can kind of see that, you know, how everyone's doing, especially during COVID, it's a nice little thing to do just to make sure everyone's alright. Then there's Selfie.ai, which we call Selfie Personal. It's basically a site where you can do a whole bunch of different personality assessments for yourself. Selfie.ai is free to use. We built this because we realized that a lot of personality assessments out there are free, yes, but they're only located on one, for example, one type of assessment is located on one site or another type of assessment is located on a different site. So we collate everything together and what you have is all that data for yourself to tell you more about yourself. You have an overall profile and this overall profile, what we actually have is some background technology which we have from ASTAR because we are an ASTAR spinoff company and this model, what it does, it does inferences on traits. So if you do on Selfie.ai, if you do some personality assessments about yourself, you get inferences of your other traits. So it predicts other traits based on what you have, you know, completed for assessments. So yeah, that is metrics. If you're interested, you can play around with the two links that I sent out and any questions, you can reach out to me as well on the telegram chat later. Right. So the objective actually today is talk a little bit more about seek finding a job and finding a job specifically for Teh. Usually when I conduct a talk for this, it's two hours long. It goes everything from understanding yourself to preparing your CVs and everything and all the way to the end of it. So the focus on today is a bit on where can you apply for jobs, how do you apply for jobs and preparing for the interview. That's the main thing that we'll be focusing on today. Okay. So most of the time people the traditional way to apply is number five. It's job portals. But I've ranked these according to the most, the highest chance you'll get a job so number one is personal networks. It's the number one method to get a job and especially if you're for example, not working in technology. If you know someone who is or you have a business owner friend or manager who works in this, maybe your friend runs a startup and you can probably ask, hey, would you take on a project manager, for example, that is not in tech yet but while you're there you can also pick up skills or from experience. So that could be one example if you know somebody. Number two is the best way to get a job is through recommendations. Recommendations through your personal network or recommendations through previous engagements. One of this could be an internship that you went through previously. So you can go back to the previous boss, previous manager and ask him, hey, are you hiring now that I've finished my course and graduated or things like that or you can even ask them, hey, do you know anybody that is hiring at the moment? Okay, so the best way to always get an opportunity is to always ask around. Even for me when I used to be a recruitment consultant I would always ask, do you know anybody that is hiring or do you know anyone that is looking for a job? It works the reverse as well. So the number one method also if I were to hire somebody through personal recommendations. Number three is direct outreach. This is a bit intimidating because it's a bit like cold calling and one of the perfect tools for this is LinkedIn. So what you can do on LinkedIn is you see a job opening on a job portal for example within Procter & Gamble or Hitachi or whatever kind of organization and you see that it's for a specific department under a specific head, department head. You can actually search for this person on LinkedIn and you can connect to them, write a short little message and say, hey, I'm really interested in what you're doing. I'm looking into getting into this field. Could we connect, for example? And once you connect you can open up a chat that you can have a discussion with them and say like, hey, I saw there was an opening. Are you guys hiring? I'm interested in this opening. That's an example of a direct outreach. Other ways is there ways to get certain email addresses. You can also email them directly if you have their contact or if someone recommends you or passes you an email, you can reach out to them and say, hey, this is my cover letter attached to my CV. I'm really keen to work with you guys. Yeah, this is me, for example. Fourth is recruiters or recruitment consultants like I used to be. So recruitment consultants, the way that they work, the reason I put it as number four is because they represent you also for their own interests, meaning that if I were to represent you as a candidate, you are of a certain salary level and you are a certain capability because I earn a commission from your total annual salary basically. So most of the time if you are a junior developer or if you are a fresh graduate, the chance of you working with a recruiter are quite slim because of, yeah, generally your experience isn't quite there. So most of the time a recruitment consultant highly likely will not represent you. So that's why I put this as number four. Right? Number five is job portals. That's the most traditional way. This relies on mainly a pure numbers game sending out multiple CVs. I know of people that send out up to 200 CVs, 200 CVs to different types of organizations in hope that the HR will get back to them. This is also dependent on another factor of how your CV looks like, for example, or depending on the type of job portal. Certain job portals what they require is a Word document rather than PDF where they just scrape the data from your Word doc and then put it into a certain formatting which is not really control. Other organizations, if you can have the chance to do up a nice CV, it's to your advantage so that it stands out. What I'm going to copy and paste within the chat now are two links. So the first link is basically how to do up your resume and if you're going to take the either way you should do up a good resume. Your resume tips this is basically following the XYZ formula. I'm not going to go into detail with it because it takes quite some time but you can click on that link on you know how to improve your odds of getting hired at Google. It's a good example. And then the Canva is coming CV layouts so you can use that on your own time but I won't go through it at the moment. Okay. Alright. So right now this is a question that I get asked quite a bit at this current point especially with COVID happening and a lot of organizations letting people go. How is the job market for tech right now? It's good. It's still fine. Don't worry. Tech is still hiring. It's an industry that hasn't really been affected by COVID-19. It comes with its benefits that a lot of developers can work remotely and generally people that work in tech they're a lot more adapted to this kind of situation of working from home than other kinds of job functions. So tech job market is still quite good and I know that a lot of organizations are still actively hiring for tech. For those if there are fresh graduates in here or people that have recently graduated with a master's that leaves you the option to apply for traineeship programs. So recently there's been a lot of traineeships available but then I get the question should I apply for traineeships? So the answer this really depends on your current situation and your own finances for example. If you are a late career individual late career job switcher and you have dependents like kids or finances and of course the cap for traineeship is 2.5K. So that one is an issue. If you are a fresh bachelor's with no dependencies then it's easier for you to pick up a traineeship program for example because of that amount. So I'm just going to go a little bit through two parts. This one is about interview prep soft skills mainly. After this I'll go through a bit more about technical skills and interview for prep for technical interviews. So I got a little story first. This might seem basic to a number of people but you'd be amazed at how many people don't prepare for interviews or even face to face interviews anything like that. There was an example of one person who actually was going for data scientist opening at Rio Tinto. If you don't know Rio Tinto is a large Australian mining company. They've been around for quite a long time they're huge. They have an office at Marina Bay Financial Centre. So if you think about MBFC you already know from the people that walk around there how they dress and basically how this kind of thing this person went for the interview she didn't prepare at all and it was even to a point when she turned up to the location in slippers and shorts and to me I was shocked because I met her there and I'm like do research on the company please. In tech a lot of times generally it's quite casual especially in start-ups for guys polo tea jeans kind of thing it's cool that's good enough but just to be safe if you're unsure it's better to dress up rather than dress down just to be safe so yeah this person she came in shorts and slippers which was the total wrong thing to do especially for a company that has an office in MBFC she also then asked me where's the office location what floor is it and what is the job so what was the job again that one blew my mind so this is just a completely bad case a very very extreme example so first things yes research the company go online, find out what they're doing go to an extents go through the news, find out what have they been doing recently if it's a start-up check their fundraising how much money have they raised go on to crunch base crunch base is an excellent one for start-ups go on LinkedIn go find out how many people are working in that organization if you are applying for a big organization you can find out who's the potential boss who's in his team things like that and try to find out and this kind of preparation we'll also prepare you to then ask potential questions so that's basics of preparing to research in the company the other one that most people don't know to do is to also do research on the interviewer and most people then ask me how do i do this how do i even know who's interviewing me that's up to your own initiative if you pass the initial phase of speaking to HR and HR for example arranges an interview you can always ask the HR right who is it will be interviewing me do you mind letting me know can you send me their LinkedIn or if not just their names and then with that information you can go on LinkedIn you can go find out a bit about themselves about them, what was their background what is their experience like and continue to find out a little bit more about who you would potentially be reporting to and the other thing is it's always so there's one thing here it's also good to have small talk to build rapport so if you go on LinkedIn and you see recent activity you can see what kind of stuff they like what kind of talks they've attended what kind of stuff they comment on and yeah so you can see oh okay this person give a talk at one of the Google events and then you know this during into you you can throw it out I saw your talk it's really interesting tell me a bit about that this is rapport building this will increase your chances alright next up prepare questions this is really important and even me if I hire somebody always look out for this it shows interest if at the interview if the interview ask you do you have any questions and you say no most of the time it's a red flag it means this person he didn't do his research on the company he's not interested in what we're doing it's a major red flag so always prepare a set of questions before you go for an interview even during the initial call if the calls initially with HR you can even ask some stuff about the company next thing be courteous punctuality I wouldn't even have to talk about but you'd be amazed how often especially nowadays other people's time for granted be punctual turn up 10 minit early don't turn up like half an hour early just like 10 minit and even after the interview follow up be the take the initiative and be the first one to email the person back thank you so much for your time today I really enjoyed meeting you I'm so keen to find out more about your company just pleasantries these little things matter there have been several occasions where even when I speak to someone on the phone for an opening I send them some information about the company and there's not even a reply and sure maybe someone doesn't want the job but I'm going back to the previous slide about recommendations number two even if I liked you and I felt that you weren't a good fit into maybe a role with me or whatever I potentially still could recommend you to someone else within my network so if you reply to me and might have rejected you it's fine at least that I know that this person is courteous he still follow up with me and through an email maybe if I know that one of my fellow startup friends is hiring or looking for a front-end developer for example I didn't want to hire him but maybe my friend will so these things matter you might not think it but it really doesn't a long term practice the last one interviewing is a skill that you learn especially if you are a late-curious switcher or a fresh grad someone that hasn't recently been interviewing or attending interviews it is a skill that you learn and also if you haven't attended one for a long time you lose it because interviewing or attending into you it's an uncomfortable situation we generally feel very uncomfortable being in a room or now mainly or presume with maybe being interviewed by two or three other people we are nervous we are anxious and it's totally normal to feel that way is to get used to that kind of feeling but role-playing is one way of doing it with a friend however there is another avenue and this is a trick that we used to do as recruitment consultants we used to at times send some of our candidates to jobs that we didn't want them to get so for example if I wanted to place a data scientist at a very large organisation but I also have some other vacancies that potentially available I would send him to these other vacancies as well so this person would get practice in interviewing before the big one so I would give him some practice one or two interviews before that before I send him to the third one which is the one that I know he wants and I know I want him to get so you could actually potentially do the same thing for yourself if you apply for certain jobs don't deny it don't say that actually I want a different type just go and attend it first you never know you might actually like it so that's kind of a way to get some practice out there attend interviews even if you don't say 100% that you want it just attend it for practice and then when the job comes around that you really really want you'll be more prepared about technical interviews most of the time based on my experience as a tech recruiter technical interviews do not happen at the start most of the time for larger organisations it's generally the HR that will call you first ask some generic questions and then set up a face to face with the hiring manager and then after that they will follow up with the technical interview when they're doing the third sometimes if they are generic technical tests that are available online some organisations use this as a way to shortlist but these kind of these kind of mass market tests from a higher perspective I wouldn't use them because the information and the answers are always available online they are quite easy to bypass generic tests or assessments it's very easy you just google something and then you can find some information on forums or something and then you can pass that kind of technical test the generic ones the better ones generally happen later on in the interview process one of the main things preparing for technical interviews is to make sure that whatever you put on your CV matches with your skills I've seen some people put a whole bunch of different like they put python r and then java, c-sharp and the list is never ending and then they can actually they only main strength is python they just put the rest as just filler so don't put it if you are not strong in it because you will get questioned about it and if you get questioned about it and they assess you on it you kind of dug your own grave so maybe list some CVs python i put like 4 out of 5 and then that one works too at least it gives you the interviewer and understanding that yes okay you are mainly focus on python but you have skill sets in other programming languages for example okay yep so be prepared to answer questions on how proficient you are and how many me as a programming experience you have in that language and how many projects you've worked on utilizing that and other things yes state if you work on XYZ project be prepared to describe the technical details on what you utilize what kind of technology you utilize on those projects and most of the time your interviewer will be technical so it's get technical too i've seen some where people try to talk in layman and it doesn't do them any benefit right when you talk about the projects you need to be able to highlight what was technically difficult about that project why was it difficult for you how did you overcome those challenges how did you find a solution to overcome those challenges and what kind of framework you used for that project as well so if your CV also states you've worked on a technical project you need to be prepared to answer what role you played in that team so if there was a project team you need to be able to explain i was the UI UX designer or i was the front end developer or i was the backend architect if it's a technical interview and you say i was the project manager for this project for this technical project the project manager it's not really a it requires technical understanding but not of course a full technical role so they might question you on this kind of stuff alright next so number two be very familiar with data structures and algorithms so this is especially important actually it's generally important so the requirement from what i've seen is a recruitment consultant it's more required in the bigger tech firm so during this time they might ask you just be prepared to answer questions to why you chose to solve a certain problem in a certain way was it because of memory efficiency was it because of beenhance processing time things like that there are some tips which i can send to you guys i'm going to put a few links in the chat again these are some resources on prepping for technical interviews i'll put them there now they're in the chat and later on i'll also put them in the telegram group chat it's because i copy and pasted it from a notepad alright okay next thing number three be somewhat familiar with software engineering practices so for example use of git versioning control test driven development agile methodology most of the time these kind of requirements will also be in the job description so you know if they generally work in agile methodology it would state that as well other thing when it comes to actually git is something i forgot to mention in the previous one when it comes to your CVs to include a link if you get hub in there and don't leave it empty make sure it's been active recently because higher managers do check that and the last one of course is basically a topic of this practice practice practice pre-prepared i just provide you a whole bunch of links oh really? oh yeah, still in technical use so there's a lot of sites that provide you information which i've shared just prepare and practice right one of the main questions that most interus always ask is why do you want to join us and don't answer smart like saying oh because there's an opening or because i need a job i've had people say that to me it might sound funny but it's not funny you might think i don't have the sense of humor but no it's after you hear it a few times it's entertaining state why you want it why do you think you would be good in it and what will you help achieve a lot of the times when someone okay sorry so a lot of times when someone applies what's important for me as well is that an organization that you also learn there has to be personal growth for you as an individual if there's no personal growth that is a red flag as well because then if it stagnates within 1-2 years the person will probably leave so it's important to make sure that you think about how you're going to personally grow within that organization itself this can also be a consideration for you whether you should join the company or not but most of the time when I hire somebody I'll ask them what a few things and how you're going to contribute to the company and how is the company going to contribute back to you as well with your learning and your exposure and your personal growth I put first in quotes because I'm not quite sure of all the demographics that we have in here when it comes to your current job role so I don't know all fresh grads or some people on mid-career switchers but let's say if you do start newly in tech what do you prioritize? do you prioritize personal growth do you prioritize salary salary for tech in the market it's generally higher and that's one thing to consider so the question is what do I prioritize but my recommendation generally if you are fresh grads or mid-career switcher focus on growth that's the most important at this standpoint because your future will be determined on how much you learn at the start of that career or career switch and sometimes I get asked what kind of company should I join as an example I actually find that start-ups are a very good option if you are new to tech if you are fresh grad or if you if you are mid-career switcher the reason for this is because when it comes to exposure it gives you quite a bit of exposure to doing different types of things you might go from full stack to focus mainly only on front-end development or different kind of things but of course as Shane was sharing just now within GovTech he had the opportunities to switch as well so that's great but yeah he shared a bit about that already but generally I find that if you're quite unsure at the start and you want to explore what your interests are when it comes to working in tech start-ups are a great place to start starting salary one thing I forgot to mention about follow-ups and interviews the question I got a lot is when do I ask for salary or when do I ask about salary or when do I listen to you never on the first time meeting the hiring manager most of the time this is left towards later on and maybe third interview or third meet-up or something like that if they ask what your expected salary is or they ask or the HR ask that's fine then you can start talking about it managing expectations and self-worth so the reason I put this is because there's a lot of research again we work in psychology we work with a lot of psychological research there's a big correlation between self-worth and salary people with high self-worth have higher salaries so that's why I put that in there about managing your own expectations of salary but of course if you have expectations of salary it's important to note that you don't go out and you throw some ridiculous number out there without the experience to back it so you got to be kind of realistic you can do your own market research on what the market is at and then from there if they ask you what's your demand what is your salary expectation then you can answer them Negotiations wise if you are a fresh grad or a mid-career switcher and you go from a background non-tech into tech when it comes to negotiations as either fresh grad or that you don't have much weight to negotiate so mainly as fresh grads most of the salaries are kind of normalized with an industry according to the university that you graduated from for late careers it can depend but a lot of companies can tap on to grants from our late career switchers so that can be to your advantage as well because they get grant support from government mainly for Singaporeans okay last one is have options when it comes to salary negotiation it helps if you have options because you are not so desperate just to take that one single offer or that one single job and it's okay to have options because it's your career so if you exploring two or three different opportunities and you got two job offers that gives you an advantage because you can decide which one you really want and if you feel that within a salary negotiation process that you are undervalued it kind of gives you you know that the other person has offered me more I'm not going to go into so much detail of this you can ask me questions in the telegram chat later because I think we are a bit over time yep so I'll stop there when it comes to interview prep and other things there's more I could potentially share but we're done for time I guess we're going to move to Q&A now so if you have any questions or you should take over ya so if you have any questions you can either type it in the chat or you can just say here and then we can get you to say your question with your voice so if you have a question for Kai or Shane you can type it out or you can say who will the slides will your slides be available later ya I can try hi I have a question ya so okay I know how to code but I'm not sure about all the methodologies like gel or waterfall so how should I proceed on from the knowledge that I have so I'm unfamiliar with sanitisation and then Ajax and sending requests all those programming kind of stuff like API requests because after all I started out as a self-taught developer but then on to the theory all those I have no knowledge ya so waterfall is quite arcade not used very often anymore most people but generally from my experience it's quite outlaw but agile methodology is actually there are so many courses online I actually attended at some time back which was I used my skills future so you can attend courses there are like I know I can put it in the telegram chat later there's one that offers 2 day course full day and it's $110 after subsidies if you're Singaporean and you can use your skills future credits for that so when it comes to these kind of methodologies ya online courses or you can attend courses the other way of course is actually using the methodology which is a different story getting that project management experience or working on a technical project I know there are some groups out there that kind of do tech for good stuff I have some contacts that are involved with this so what they actually do is over weekend so when you have spare time you can be part of a tech for good project as a developer I know a friend she's working on a project that's looking for a front end dev and these kind of things they're building an app for seniors and it's not profit so potentially if you have time to spare and you want to gain experience working in a technical team these are the kind of stuff that I would recommend that you can do I will fish out some resources and send it in the telegram chat okay got it thanks actually Tyler I think it's interesting that you say that the theoretical part is the part that you find the most difficult to learn because I mean I thought that that one is like learning the theory is where there's more resources but as Kai mentioned learning the practical part like using it generally that one is where you have to work hard to get opportunities because you actually have to work for something related to that but if it's just the theory there's online courses there's even textbooks on data science okay so that's why you are able to build up I think you're able to build up theory relatively easy and practical experience yeah I was actually looking for a job like some months back then I think in the job description there were like a lot of theory requirement like death ops then after that a job then I think there were so many others others that I cannot recall and there is also like okay let's say PHP all those kind of thing which is like okay from what I know it's like an old language but I do not know why in the Singapore market right it's like still in demand yeah there are some companies that still work on legacy systems that require some older kind of technologies lot are banks actually but that one really depends on the organisation now okay I think I will just wait for you to share on the volunteer projects then I wouldn't mind getting into it so that you know I have more understanding yeah there is one more question that came out yeah on the chat what kind of impact does online courses on getting a job in tech Shane you want to go first I would say personally from I've been on both sides of the fence I would say that the online course itself doesn't carry weight it's more like how do you apply what you've learnt from the course because if I see a resume if I see a resume and I see you've done a number of online courses maybe I'll be like okay there's some interest I could maybe ask you a few questions but that's kind of like a lead in it doesn't automatically quantify you but it's more like even if you've done a lot or you haven't done any but when I do the technical interview you're showing me some interesting things then I think maybe this guy is good this guy is showing that he's really he's learnt a lot of things even be it through courses or not it's more of just the learning point so so when I look at the CV journey I look at I have nothing against online courses nothing but good things to say about online courses and which is great with how things work nowadays you can get access to so much information what I look for is does it fill your gaps so for example if there's someone applying as a data scientist and he's a background in physics and he'll be able to work in the technical aspect when it comes to coding might not quite be there so if I can see that there are some courses that this person took to fill those gaps that's the kind of thing I'll be looking out for I know that this person made an effort he filled in the right gaps that he has with certain online courses he made an effort to learn it himself that's generally what I'll be looking out for it also depends on the employer so when I used to be a recruitment consultant in tech some organizations are very hard up on hiring someone with a CS background it's I've I've seen that we're a bit more progressive now in the last two years where because I guess also it is such a high demand for people in this industry but the requirement of having a background in CS is no longer such a huge requirement like it used to be organizations are still like that so how I would say it really depends on the employer and the employer's mindset did you fill your gaps with online courses I mean that said of course it never hurts to do them but I guess the reason why they alone are not seen as like sufficient qualifications is also because if you go through online course I mean you can just like host it without learning anything more than just the bare essentials or you really can like dig in they ask you a certain problem you do your own research you branch out so these two people have completely different experiences from the same course so the only way to sieve out one from the other is really to see if that guy can demonstrate in any of those skills yeah actually utilizing or actually coming with pet projects is another way I would say there is probably a limit the amount of online courses that you can put on your CV to a point where it no longer becomes I would say useful or in a way it's no longer attractive on the CV what I would rather than see is maybe you've taken a few online courses and then after that you've done some pet projects so maybe you have an interest so for example I like rock climbing in the rock climbing community there is a big issue when it comes to finding rock climbing shoes so me and a friend got together tried to develop a computer vision model to then analyze people's speed sizes to then recommend shoe models this is a pet project it has nothing to do with my work it is done out of pure personal interest but this kind of thing I can put on my CV for example that me and him work together and created something like this so people can look at your github and that exists that is more valuable than just taking a ton of online courses anything else? no more questions? no more questions okay I think we're about time also so thank you so much Shane and Kai so I have like 2 announcement over here first is that if you still have more questions for Shane and Kai then you can ask him questions and then we also have okay let me share my screen okay so and then this is a link to a feedback to today's event so like super helpful for us what do you like about today what do you not like about today please fill it up and tell us so we can improve and give us give you like better events so yeah I think last words from Ryder, Shane and Kai I just hope it was helpful and if you have any questions yeah you can ask in telegram chat group okay thank you so much for everyone for your time today as the same goes you can be anywhere tonight but you are here today so thank you so much for Kai and see you next time thanks bye

Charles Eisenstein is an philosopher and author of "Sacred Economics" and "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible". Inspired by the integration of Māori culture and language into mainstream New Zealand society, Charles speaks in this video about how humanity can move from a story of separation - from each other and the planet's natural ecosystems - into a story of interbeing and connectedness.

In the earlier session, a question came up when Matthew was talking about all the things that are happening here from where all of the things that the Edmund Hillary Foundation are supporting and referencing the social entrepreneurs and non-profit people in this room. And the question kind of came up, well, what is this stuff, I mean, all the stuff sounds nice, you know, restorative justice, regenerative agriculture, impact investing, social enterprise, ecological healing, et cetera, et cetera, it all sounds quite nice. But what do these things all have to do with each other, except that they're all kind of like in the category of a good thing. So I'd like to actually speak to that a little bit. What unifies all of these areas of activism and why is it that when you, even if you are passionate about composting toilets, why is it when you meet somebody whose passion is reforming the prisons or saving the whales, why is it that you recognize immediately that this person is an ally? And the way I look at it is that we are all serving the same thing. The emergence of what I call a new and ancient story. And that we're all part of a transition from the old story, the story of separation into a new story, which is also an ancient story, the story of interbeing. So whereas separation understands, it's our mythology, our meaning, the dominant culture. It understands life and self and the world in a certain way as understanding us as separate individuals in a world of other as these kind of bubbles of psychology bouncing around in an alien universe of generic particles and deterministic forces that must be overcome in order to have a good life. While being in that old story comes through the domination and control of the other. The competing other beings out there or the random forces of nature. So the old story looks at human civilization as this kind of triumphalist progression from a state of primitive superstition to a state of scientific knowledge and technological power over reality. And that story says, but says it not very convincingly anymore, not compared to 50 years ago says that someday our triumph will be complete. And we will not even need nature anymore because we will have devised technological substitutes thanks to the miracle of whatever the steam engine or, well, that didn't quite work. So maybe it was electricity. And while that didn't quite bring about paradise either. So maybe it's nanotechnology or genetic engineering that's going to be the final frontier. New frontiers is about a very different kind of frontier that recognizes the limitations and even the futility of this story that's bringing us not to paradise. But as Matthew mentioned in some of those slides, bringing us to helplessness, bringing us to the decay, the degeneration of the ecological basis of life on Earth. Bringing us to a place of, wow, maybe we didn't understand how to do all of this. Maybe we don't know. Sending us therefore into a space between stories, as I like to call it, where that story of separation doesn't work anymore. Where we see that it's brought about crisis that cannot be solved from that story could be on a personal level where the story of how to be human, how to have a life, how to have a marriage, how to take care of your health, how to engage the world of work. You had a formula to do that. You followed it maybe very dutifully. You went to the doctor for your annual checkup and then you got sick. And the arsenal of modern medicine couldn't help you. And perhaps that was your initiatory experience into a new story, where, well, first a space between stories where you're like, I don't know what to do. And then you start in that empty space, then a new story can emerge. So everyone enters this in a different way. And our civilization as a whole is also entering a space between stories. And one thing I appreciate about New Frontiers is that it's not an attempt to push the existing frontier a little farther. One thing that, you know, like these Silicon Valley guys, like I kind of know the typical Silicon Valley mindset. It's another version of Masters of the Universe. We know how to do this. We can do anything, anywhere, because we have the technology. We have the know-how. But the founders of this project are coming to it with an understanding of the limitations of that way of approaching the world, and therefore a kind of humility that recognizes we don't know and we're willing to learn. Another thing that Matthew mentioned that I feel is a very important aspect of this transition, in his answer to the last question, he said that it all comes from an understanding that life itself is a gift, which is different from the story of separation attitude toward the world and nature as something that we extract from with force. But other cultures really understood that the world and our lives are a gift. That we didn't earn this planet. It wasn't through our hard efforts that we created water. We didn't earn the sun. We didn't earn our breath. We didn't earn our mothers taking care of us. Recognizing that brings about gratitude, because if you know that you've been so richly gifted, then you feel grateful, gratitude being the desire to give in turn. And that leads to a view of life, not as a headlong competition to maximize self-interest, but as a journey of the gift to discover what is it that I'm here to do? Am I a gift to the world? How can I give forward from this rich gift that I've received? And that is what unites so much of what the people in this room are doing in whatever social enterprise or nonprofit, or it might be just very humble work with your hands. That unites what we're all doing, I mean maybe you're a healer, maybe you're a farmer, maybe you're working with composting toilets. But all of these things are based on the spirit of the gift, because you're not asking how can I take the most. You're asking what is the best way that I can enrich, regenerate, and heal the world around me. Because in a new story, see in the story of interbeing, using Tick-Not-Hahn's word for it, in the story of interbeing, that's not an act of self-sacrifice, because we understand that we're not actually separate individuals in a world of other. But that we are the holographic mirror of all that is. That anything that happens in the world is happening to us. That anything we do, we ultimately do to ourselves that the consequences of what we do are inescapable. That no wall or fortress or security fence or surveillance system or attack drone system can keep out what is happening to all beings in this world. Therefore, your well-being depends on the well-being of all. So your service to the other is also a service to self. The division between the heart and the mind disappears in the logic of interbeing. And that is one of the aspects of the reunion that we are approaching. So that might be a bit theoretical. I don't know, I know a lot of people here are very hands-on. But I wanted to give this kind of a big-scale picture to what's going on here, why we feel so united. One thing that I was, so okay, I'm going to also relate this a little bit to the ceremony that we experienced this morning, which I deeply appreciated because sometimes at these things, like a lot of times now, it's become fashionable to begin your conference or something like that with, you know, you trot in the North America, you trot in a few Native Americans, and they do some invocation of the four elements, thank you very much, and then they get sent out, and it just reeks of tokenism. But this felt, it felt sincere. And I felt, like I felt really welcomed. And during the short break after that, I heard Diti, hope I'm trying to pronounce that right, Diti talked about, he was speaking very passionately about the importance of learning the Maori language. And the mind of separation says, well, why is that really so important? You know, I mean, given all that's happening on this planet, given climate change, given that we might not even survive the next 20 years if you believe some of the more alarmist scientists, isn't it kind of a waste of time to devote? I had this conversation with a leading environmentalist in the States. He's like, Charles, someday you're gonna have to decide if you're gonna be relevant. Because I've been talking to him about my passions, about some of the things I'm interested in. Yeah, I'm interested in climate change, and I'm also interested in restoring the sacred aspect of the masculine. And I'm also interested in restorative justice and restorative circles. And I'm also interested in various kinds of holistic medicine and the intelligence of water and plant communication and pan subjective metaphysics, you know, and all these other things. And he's like, you know, that's all very nice, but come on. None of that is gonna matter when the sea levels rise 30 meters. None of that's gonna matter when the temperature rises 10 degrees. Like you got to put that off and deal with what's important here. It's a call to arms, a call to hear is the enemy right now. And I tried to communicate to him that that mentality is actually part of the problem. That the habit of the problem solving strategy of first find an enemy and then go to war against that enemy is the same psychic energy as the war against nature, the treating of all of the world as an enemy or a competitor. And that the solutions that come from that contribute to the ground conditions that give rise to the problem to begin with that climate change or global warming is kind of a symptomatic fever of something else in my research into climate change. I've discovered that we have under emphasized the importance of local ecosystems to maintain global equilibrium and that and instead put all of the emphasis and identified green as being related to carbon made that the enemy and invoked kind of a war mentality against that enemy that lends itself to global solutions and empowers global institutions. But in fact the capacity of intact healthy ecosystems to absorb carbon even if you do want to look at it in the car through the carbon lens even that way the capacity of intact ecosystems to absorb carbon is much greater than anyone had imagined. And that if we had if we had planet wide healthy forests, healthy mangrove swamps, healthy sea grass, healthy peat bogs like all of these ecosystems, we could handle a lot of emissions without a problem. But instead these are being degraded everywhere. Which means that even if we cut carbon emissions to zero the planet would still die because it would be like like you're degrading all of your tissues and organs all the time and and suffering fevers and someone says well the room is too warm let's turn down the temperature in the room that's the problem but the problem is much deeper than that and it is unavoidably local because there is no blanket recipe for how to take care of your local places the land that you live on. That knowledge is fundamentally local and it requires a political shift and a conceptual shift that re-empowers the local which takes me back to the Maori language because language is more than just a an arbitrary system of representational signs that could be replaced with some other arbitrary system of representation of representational signs. Language is intimately related to the land itself and the way and this is what I was getting when I heard the the speakers doing the welcoming dialogue at the beginning I'm like there is power encoded in these words encoded in even the the prosody the cadence of these sounds that is necessary for the thriving and the survival of our of our of our world in part language because language ultimately where does it come from it comes from the land itself which is why even a language that has gone extinct can come back if people have a close enough relationship to the land and you see when people migrate to a new place their language changes New Zealand has its own special accent if that were left undisturbed if we cut off all global communication that maintains homogeneity around the world then New Zealand English would gradually migrate over centuries to something that it wouldn't be exactly like Maori was because the land evolves too but you would recognize it as of this place so this means that restoring regenerating and celebrating and spreading the Maori language is an essential part of caring for the land the place of New Zealand which is the work that's necessary in order to do New Zealand's part in healing this planet and also if it can be done successfully here it serves as kind of a template or an example or a precedent for other places to do that everywhere I go I ask myself and this is the question I did in that little dialogue what is the unique gift of this place to the world every culture has every nation every country every place has a unique gift to give toward the healing and the evolution of the whole and every place I go I'm always curious what is that gift of that country just as you might ask yourself what is my gift what is the gift of this country so and I'm not I don't want to be presumptuous because I've only been here for a week but I feel I felt like I was starting to get a sense of it New Zealand is very fortunate to have the indigenous language still pretty strong you know it's still a living language people still think in that language even so it it can be restored a lot more easily than some of the extinct languages of North America and that language encodes knowledge that you might not be able to to quantify or explicitly write down but it induces a mindset it induces a state of being that that in which someone intuitively knows how to live in harmony and mutual benefit with the land here so I was really heartened to hear we went to a another ceremony a couple days ago where there were some government officials and they one of them was talking about bringing the Maori language into the schools and making it a mandatory subject for for all school children in New Zealand I'm like wow that's kind of that's like reverse colonialism you know because it wasn't that long ago where where I mean this happened all over the world where speaking the indigenous language was was discouraged or punished even in schools I'm not sure if that happened here where like kids would get hit if they spoke the indigenous language like that and now it's getting reversed and I think part of that reversal you know like maybe there's some elements of tokenism or okay let's respect other cultures because that's a good idea but there's also I think an element of humility coming in here because as our story breaks down the dominant story the story of separation and we realize we don't know how to do this anymore our tools are making things worse and worse help we become more open to the stories that are carried by other people so the reason that and this is happening in America it's happening many places the reason that people are now drawn to indigenous knowing indigenous ways of life indigenous knowledge indigenous language it's not actually and should not be out of guilt or playing the victimology game it's because we recognize that there's something that we really need to know on behalf of the planet and that this knowledge is still preserved especially in New Zealand where there's something like 15 percent um someone told me that 15 percent minority like that's that's enough for New Zealand to be kind of a precedent center and this is something that has not yet happened on earth the turn of an entire modern nation state to say yeah let's really incorporate the suppressed and marginalized indigenous thread of our society and another inspiring thing is that the minority also like this is part of the gift of New Zealand too like there's such a welcoming inclusive attitude that is hospitable to this um emerging humility so that's kind of what I'm getting about New Zealand that the unique gift of New Zealand has something to do with the healing of the colonial rift and that's something that really inspires me about about new frontiers too that it hasn't that it's not like just giving lip service to this but that there's a real effort um and um humility in in seeking this unification yeah I would just maybe suggest that as you spend the next four days here that you that you explore and cultivate this feeling of alliance and maybe kind of test drive I didn't say too much about the story of interbeing but that is I believe what unifies us and so to kind of take that on and and and see how does that help you make sense of what you're doing what you're drawn to and what draws the other people here together what is because I'll just say one more thing if that's okay the world is built on a story money is a story law is a story politics that's a story when the story changes the world changes the dominant story is in crisis consequently everything built upon that story is falling apart and we have the chance to step into service to another story that's why we're here actually because out in society you're going to be called crazy naive irresponsible impractical if you follow that story in your life because no one else is doing it well not no one else but it's kind of a new thing it's really important to come together in a place where everyone around you says yeah I'm following that too I mean I spent you know so many decades on this lonely journey and I think many of you might have experienced this as well this loneliness this self-doubt is it really okay to live my life this way and maybe even getting pulled down as if like you come up for air and you have this this epiphany or this experience that says yeah this is how life is supposed to be this is how the world could be you're shown an experience of deep connection or intimacy or cooperation and and you recognize it as real you recognize it as a promise of what's possible but then the routines of modern life the financial pressures of modern life and your own internalized habits pull you back under the waves and you almost forget what it was like above and then you claw your way up again and yes here I am back in reality and then you get pulled down again and maybe you went through years or decades of that like I did but now what's changing is you come up for air and there's somebody else there too on the surface and you hold each other up before you both get sucked down but then you come up again and there's four people or eight or ten and now we're creating a living mat in the new story holding each other in that new story because this isn't something that one enlightened guy comes and does and leads everybody else to it this is a process of group awakening of collective awakening where we all hold each other in this new story because this consciousness that has been cultivated for so many centuries is now rising to the surface and bringing us up with it and so we can hold each other in this space and that's why it's so important to come together sometimes and and abide in a story of interbeing for a few days so that that experience imprints it self on us and creates the ties and the networks and that's why it's so important to meet some of these new people and and with the curiosity of how are you my ally and what is your gift so that that the uh floatation mat that we're creating together isn't just limited to this place so there's an internal imprint where we where we really immerse ourselves in this new and ancient way of perceiving and then there's the external imprint through the relationships that we cultivate here and carry forth into alliances after the event yeah so thank you very much

Korres et al., A Comparison of Vibrotactile Feedback and EMS, IEEE Haptics Symposium 2022

G. Korres, W. Park, and M. Eid, A Comparison of Vibrotactile Feedback and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) For Motor Response During Active Hand Movement, Proceedings of IEEE Haptics Symposium 2022
Abstract: Wearable haptic technologies have garnered recent widespread attention due to increased accessibility, functionality, and affordability. These systems typically provide haptic feedback to augment the human ability to interact with their environment. This study compares two haptic feedback modalities, vibrotactile and EMS, against visual feedback to elicit a motor response during active hand movement. Forty-five participants, divided into three groups, performed a task to touch their face and received one of three possible sensory feedback cues, namely visual, vibrotactile, and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), to interrupt their movement and avoid touching their face. Two quantitative performance measures are used in the comparison, the response time (time elapsed from stimulation to motor response) and the error rate (percentage that the user fails to avoid touching their face). Results showed that vibrotactile and EMS feedback yielded significantly faster response time than visual feedback, while no significant differences between vibrotactile and EMS were observed. Furthermore, the error rate was significantly lower for EMS compared to visual feedback, whereas no significant differences were observed between vibrotactile and visual feedback. In conclusion, it seems that EMS feedback is preferable for applications where errors are not tolerable (critical medical applications), whereas vibrotactile is superior for non-critical applications due to its low cost and higher usability (more pleasant compared to EMS).

Hello, everyone. My name is Muhammad Eid. I'm from New York University, Abu Dhabi, and I would like to present our work on a comparison of Vibrotactile feedback and EMS for motor response during active hand movement. Wearable haptic technologies have garnered widespread attention due to increased accessibility, functionality, and affordance. Vibrotactile stimulation is probably the most popular since Vibrotactile actuators are small in size, easy to control, and, more importantly, affordable and expressive. On the other hand, EMS, a technique that applies electrical pulses to the user's muscles in order to involuntarily contract them, is becoming a hot topic as it provides a similar set of advantages in addition to its ability to provide force feedback. Both technologies can be applied at various body parts as shown in these many examples. The purpose of this study is to compare Vibrotactile stimulation and EMS to elicit a motor response during active hand movement. We created an experimental setup for this purpose that included a strip of five LEDs for visual feedback, a vibration motor in 9 degrees of freedom IMU for tracking the hand movement, and an EMS system. The stimulation cues were all set to 500 milliseconds with a 95% plus detectability. We opted for touching or avoid touching the face as the experimental task since it's an everyday motor task that goes often without thinking. Participants were asked to wear the wristband and keep their hand on a table in front of them. They were then prompted to touch their face during which sensory feedback was provided in the form of visual, Vibrotactile, or EMS. We recruited a total of 45 participants, each completed 100 trials. 70% of these trials were for the control condition where no feedback was provided, and 30% were divided equally among the three modalities. We calculated the response time and error rate. On the left-hand side, you see that EMS and Vibrotactile feedback have a significantly shorter response time compared to visual feedback. On the right-hand side, you can see that EMS has significantly smaller error rate compared to visual feedback. We also conducted a survey to capture the user experience where all participants reported no pain or fatigue for all the modalities. It's worth noting that 93% of participants reported Vibrotactile feedback as pleasant, whereas only 60% of participants reported EMS as pleasant. In summary, EMS feedback can be more favorable in critical applications where errors must be avoided, whereas Vibrotactile feedback is more convenient for non-critical applications due to its lower coast and higher usability.

Hi everyone, so my name is Swan Martinez and today I'm going to talk about open source for the time collaborative workflow in Blender in one word sharing so I'm currently doing a PhD in partnership with CUP Creative and the in-rate research team from University Paris 8 my researches are focused on the link between real-time technologies and animation production such as how animation production could benefit from real-time in terms of communication tools So I will begin by explain some limitation of today's animation pipeline then I will show you an experimental solution and finally I will Confront it to both industrial and educational context Before starting I just wanted to say that There is other good existing solution to achieve real-time collaboration such as pocket studio and video universe or even game engine integration such as the multi-user plug-in for an engine St. Fusion for unity, but none of these were providing what I need such as open sources or a Blender compatibility because I needed to experiment collaboration into a multi-purpose DCC directly into it Let's give some context first Today's animation pipeline have been industrialized. What does it mean? It's mean that it rely on a linear assembly line A linear assembly line is a manufacturing process in which parts are added as the semi-finished product move from Workstation to workstation in animation workstation means production stages such as storyboarding lighting rendering and compositing and Parts could either be asset or shot So we have all those shots and asset line re-created through all those stages To bring the movie to life simple isn't it? But today's animation production looks more like that artists working on Individual tasks behind the screen There is no communication between artists from different stages those wall of isolation is Keeping them from knowing what happened before and after that tasks There's wall of silence could lead to mistakes Here for example the anime since the animator doesn't have any lighting information He couldn't prevent his character from casting in wanted shadow on the right bottom of the picture during the lighting state Those kind of could impact the wall projection chain and can be really tricky to roll back and cost a lot of money all those all those limitation From liner assembly line could came from a simple fact Between stages we're only sharing results not creation process So how to bring back communication between stages and Give back some project visibility to the artist Let's take some step back In IT Developers are using a giant methodology to collaborate easily on project and get a better project visibility In those methods an interesting concept is pair programming It consists bringing multiple developers to work on the same code base at the same time By doing this way they are sharing their knowledge and Made better decision to orient development so Why doesn't apply those concepts in animation and call it per creation for example Yeah, let's try that So in my opinion per creation Consists to bring multiple artists to work on the same on the same piece at the same time as synchronously but more precisely in animation Per creation consists to bring multiple digital artists from different or same stages to collaborate on the same scene at the same time but Putting multiple user into the same shared space in just some Problematics like how they will see each other's how they will communicate to To collaborate because the communication is the case for a solid collaboration and an efficient collaboration and Finally all to prevent conflict between users With all those problems in mind, I made the blender multi-user add-on which consists to bring Multiple artists into the same blend at the same time and left At the left you have a basic user representation with user selected objects and user first room and At the right you have all session related settings such as the user list reflected actions and replicated properties actions The add-on is based on a basic client server architecture with a data oriented application because Blender the doesn't allow me to Make operational based replication because of context conflict I also took some inspiration of git based mechanism to give some flexibility into the replication pipeline So we have a basic add-on which can put multi-use Multiple user into the same space and do things together. Let's try to let's try it in both industrial educational context But before starting I just want to specify that all industrial tests were made at cube creative with Tangranimo asset. Tangranimo is a cartoon TV show produced by CubeCrate Our first try consisted to bring Four CG supervisor in the following scene no rules given I just asked them to try to enrich the scene with the existing And we end up with that a total chaos Because without any direction and Without any direction and To soft right management user Users were interfering with each others and doing nothing productive. This is what I call the sandbox effect and Strong of this knowledge we set up a second experiment with three artists this time Tangi, Clemence and Tristan. I assigned a collection per artist to avoid conflict and They started with an empty scene and With the following asset pallets from Tangranimo to make a background concept Here you can see Clemence making some nice rocks while Tangi is adjusting the lighting color in real time Those kind of feedbacks are possible thanks to Eevee This time the session was more productive. This is the further the result and An interesting fact was the spatial user work repetition in yellow You have Tristan work in green you have Clemence work in red you have Tangi's work and at the beginning Each of them were working in his own corner, but as time passed They started to work together to bring the island to life by using oral communication as A way to organize themself They started to break the wall of isolation We learn another interesting fact Revote solid spatial guidelines the user doesn't know where to start Like here you have some wood without purpose Because they don't start with strong foundation So it could like it could lead the lead the artist to a lack of consistency in the background composition with that in mind We set up Thanks to Claire Nathan a third experiment only Tangi and Clemence this time Assets from Tangranimo still there and like before they put so its foundation first together so Here is the time-lapse of the experiments you can see Tangi in blue and Clemence in green Working together they started to put some heels then They are bringing the environment to life and it will come to a point where Tangi Will bring some nice rocks together while Clemence is addressing the The cloud and Something interesting Clemence just put Tangi into shadows So Tangi immediately told her to move his object away this kind of feedbacks and Responsiveness is given by the real-time aspect of the collaboration and Allows Tangi to react quickly on Clemence mistakes in a traditional linear pipeline Mistakes like that took more time and money and Here is the result of the third experiment more consistent this time because they started to put common foundations first I will rapidly talk about my Experimentation in teaching blender with the multi-user add-on so I let seven students work together on one common project they done lighting Compositing and a bit of shedding and modeling together on one shared space on one shared blend and It turns out that being in the same space allowed them to share feedback together and to to be more To go to to be more easily to help them together and It also allows me to help them with what quitting my chair very useful So this the add-on is far from finished now, but I learned some interesting fact from all those sessions such as the coordination effort is much More complex than in traditional linear workflow because without solid right management it it's users Without the solid right management, there are conflict between artists a So it foundation need also to be provided since the beginning because without any solid foundation a lack of consistency starting to show to be and but Oral communication become another natural way to share feedback and Allow user to react with each other in the natural way and lead them to better decision artistic call decision and Allow them to prevent mistake Some artists also told me that it's make the creation fun again until now the multi-user add-ons known some limitation like slow performance on complex maces and To to tackle with that I I easily used collection instances to let blender handle the eevee eevee data Until now not all data block types are supported yet like animation or Particle, but I'm working on it and Since we hadn't any need for new communication channel directly in blender because we don't alter all of our tests locally I Didn't develop like in a communication system like internal chat or VoIP What next? firstly, I will start by bringing multiple animators on the same scene So animation support will be a first step Then I will add a better support for differential revision in order to reduce network to reduce a network run with and Then I will start to Put the supervisor in veer in order to help him to get the bigger picture of his artist Working together Finally, I will earn some quality and time evaluation to To evaluate the mason And my guess is a future where a real-time Collaborative workflow will allow artists to work together on the same on the same movie and to bring all the proof to Allow together to work as an orchestra to bring the movie to life coordinated by supervisor and director Thank you all for listening

Okay, welcome to the October 27 2021 Amherst Conservation Commission meeting. First agenda item is comments from the chair me. My only comments are that while our agenda looks short we have three hearings. They're all pretty complicated projects with a lot of interested parties. So we're going to have to, if you guys can help me, stay on task. I'm going to, as we open the hearing setups and pretty clear guidelines on like time allotments and topics and how we behave discourse during the meeting. So, yeah, so I appreciate everyone's support sticking to that kind of walking the line between making sure everyone feels like they're included and heard, and has the information they need, but then also maintaining forward momentum. Yeah, Anna. The Roy is in the attendees list. Oh, getting them right now. Sorry, thank you. No problem. Do we have him. I just appointed him. He should be popping in. Okay. I've got a check and so on with that. So yeah, hello Roy, sorry. I was just saying you have what seems like a short agenda with three hearings but they're pretty dense hearings with lots of interested parties so as we open the hearings I'm going to set some pretty clear guidelines about kind of a timeline and time limit for each part of each hearing and each hearing. And so I was just saying, I appreciate everyone's help kind of finding that balance between making sure that everyone involved is included heard has the information they need, but then also keeping forward momentum and efficiency and a kind of avoiding redundancy and moving off topic too far. So, help me keep track of who needs to talk when and, and let's stay on this on the schedule as much as possible. I appreciate that. Because as you guys know, I'm bad at zoom. So any help is good. That's all I had to say on that. So director report Dave. Hi Dave. Did you have anything to share? Good evening. I actually don't. I know I want to support Anna during her discussion of the CPA proposals so I would, I would defer to to Aaron if she has significant updates for the commission. I'm happy to take some time if you have it later but I would give my time over to Aaron. Thanks Dave. Yeah Aaron. Yeah, I mean I, I envision that we move right into the open space or land use application and the CPA updates and whichever we do first is really kind of at your discretion I see my gauge in the panelists. If we want to start with CPA. That would be fine with me. Okay. Okay, then. Meg, I'm going to promote you to a panelist so you can join us. All right, so this is a CPA on mute. All right. So, how are we structuring this on I know you're a liaison to the CPA do you want to kind of run this talk from this. I guess I'll defer to Meg so Meg I put together a little quick presentation with the three proposals that apply to concom. So if you think it'd be helpful for us to have an overview first and then you go I'm happy to do that. But if you are ready to go now and want to start with yours and then let me. Why don't you do the overview so people have a context. And I'm curious to see what the other two are ours is quite straightforward and I know how busy or I just heard what Jen said about the meeting so ours. Why don't you give the overview and then maybe what I have to say I'll be briefer because of what you said. Okay. So second question, Aaron I had sent you some slides do you want to drive or do you want me to drive. I don't. Well it's, it's entirely up to you if you prefer, but I can also I've got it queued up so I can. I would love you to so that I can look at my notes. Okay, perfect. Thank you. All right, so just while she, you're so fast. Okay, so there are three proposals that are particularly relevant to Conservation Commission, the mill river historic trail general trail improvements and then Hickory Ridge trail So just to give you a quick picture. One of the things that is interesting about CPA this year is that is different from last year is we have more projects than funding. So we will have to be making some choices this year which we did not have to do. Last year we got, we got lucky, or I don't know if I'd call it lucky but that was the situation last year. So the first one the applicant for the mill river historic trail McGage is with us representing the district one neighborhood association, and they're applying for an amount of $12,900. The trail improvements and Hickory Ridge are both coming from town of Amherst Dave can speak to those as well once I finish the overview of this. The trail improvements is for 50,000 the Hickory Ridge application is for 150,000. Next one. So this is an overview here. Yeah, thanks. So I know this is a lot of text, all of my presentation design instincts were screaming at me but bear with me. So the overview of the mill river historic walking trail. This is really, you know they they came before us last year and I guess speaking personally for myself, it's a really exciting project. And so we, I'm glad it was not accepted last year under the kind of qualifications of CPA which are very specific. And so I was really excited to see them come back this year and frame it and change the project enough to fit those CPA guidelines. So the overview is that they're trying to conduct research on the historic infrastructure and historic sites along the mill river. The history and the present conditions this is something where you know historic artifacts have been found we know that that some of these historic sites exist, but they've never been preserved, or recorded on site necessarily. So they are applying for funding to conduct that research there are four sites along the mill river. And the project includes the river and the adjacent like the bank area, right. So the, the reason why we are included is obviously it's the mill river, as well as it's on the entire project is on conservation land. The things I want to pull your attention to are actually more of the implications for phase two of this project, which is actions to preserve the site so wanting to make sure that we are very clear on the conservation conditions and the needs, as we think about preservation there, as well as signage that they're hoping to create along the trail so again we want to just make sure we've talked about signage a lot but we haven't necessarily had the time to sit down up with a comprehensive plan and so I think we want to make sure that we are being very clear in in what we need for what our expectations are for signage and not disturbing the environment with it. So my lightning fast overview of the first project. Quick questions now knowing that Meg is here ready to answer your questions better than I can, after I'm done. Okay, next one Aaron. So, oh sorry I have pictures I took your pictures Meg. So, these are some of the pictures I'm, I'm going to just rush through these because, Meg we can pull this back up and you can explain what these are better than I can buy. These are unless you want to know. I think showing them I know how busy you are but the one. These are examples of dams and the structure on the right side isn't there anymore but we hope to describe what it was. Yeah, you're doing an awesome job. Very fast. I looked at this agenda and like got my cup of tea ready so next one Aaron so this is the next ones are the next pictures are the current status of the sites and so you can see where you know some of this historic. These historic sites are quite literally crumbling and so you know thinking about trying to balance that historic preservation and recognition with conservation. As we think about these sites going forward, I think there might be one more. Nope. So then, it's okay you can keep. I'm going to, I'm going to blaze right through people know they can interrupt me, I hope. Town of Amherst trail improvements this is something that we've seen in other contexts but this is this request is specifically going to, to CPA. The trails saw increased use during the pandemic, the, the scope of this, you can see what they're trying to purchase right materials and equipment rental to improve the trails it's pretty, this one's pretty cut and dry. As well as replacing Bob bridges to to make sure that we're protecting the wetlands that bridging needs to go over. And again, similar why we are involved all of these are on conservation land, because it's to improve trails on conservation land. So really it's just that we've seen more wear and tear. These trails need, need improve maintenance, as well as some ADA improvements when required. And then we got no pictures on this one I don't think so next one. Last one big one Hickory Ridge so we know Hickory Ridge is a big undertaking the town is is going for we're able to use as a reminder, you can't use CPA funds on conservation projects that were not purchased. We were able to use CPA funds and so Hickory Ridge because we were able to support that with CPA funding we're able to use CPA funding to maintain it so this is to construct new walking trails as well as improve the existing cart paths and make those into accessible trails. So this includes the existing bridges, I don't know if anyone else was able to get out there for the, the tour sessions with Dave, but some of the bridges, they, you know, they put up the snow fencing just to make sure nobody fell in the bridges need some some support there. And really, you know this is one of the things that is amazing about Hickory Ridge is that it's going to provide access to conservation land to a few different apartment complexes that have not had easily accessible land before. So this is creating trails that are that folks can access Hickory from a couple different points. The other part, which we're getting back to signs again is kiosks and benches so the benches are for real relaxation the kiosks might include maps rules and environmental education. So, you know something to consider, you know this is a town project so obviously Dave already knows what we're dealing with in terms of signs but it's worth considering kind of what we what we want to see in terms of kiosks there. And you know our implications not only will part of Hickory be conserved but also maintenance will be will be a consideration because that's something that Brad and Brandon, I'm so used to saying Brad and Tyler that it's so hard to switch over. We'll have to conservation staff will have to maintain and so we want to make sure we're setting them setting them up for success and whatever trails go in there. Crush stone dust permeable solid as well. And that means that they're walkable but they're also rollable for for wheelchair access. This also funding will be used for a geotextile fabric and gravel borough and crush crush stone for the top course so the edges of the trail will be will be grassy and we do have pictures in this one, and this is also a believe in your packet. If you didn't get a chance to check it out so I know this is tiny but this is the overall map with the the proposed trails. So you can kind of see how those link up to the different apartment buildings and then you can also see the solar sites on there that we permitted a while back I can't remember when that was but a while back. And next. So these are, I included Dave's captions but this, these are where trails will go that are current fairways so they're not. There is no existing cart path and the proposed trails run through areas like this where it's grassy go to the next one Aaron. And then you can see what the existing cart trails look like it is pretty amazing how quickly. We have nature's reclaimed hickory ridge and so it's it's pretty amazing, pretty incredible to watch that happen. But that includes the cart paths and we want to keep those as trail as much as possible so we want to try to improve the condition there. And then you can see the Fort River, you know so much of this work is in service of restoring the quality of the Fort River. And you can see the bridge there which will need a little bit of a little bit of attention as well. I think that's yeah. So what I'm hoping you will do is ask me lots of questions but we have not started the hearings for these projects yet so if you have questions that you want me to bring forward to the to the town of Amherst. Meg is here so you can ask your questions right now but if something comes up, know that I will have another chance to to be hearing from the folks proposing these projects. And then you know if we support them or not we can we can kind of voice that support in, I will voice that support on our behalf in those hearings, or lack there of. Should we be interested that middle step invite groups to present, we have both groups here so we are lucky to be able to hear from both of them. Tonight and in the future, if we would like to. I think that's that wraps it up for me any questions for me before we turn it over to Meg. One question what what is the amount of funding that's available. It's a really good question Larry and I should have looked it up right beforehand and I will pull that up for you and have it by the end of Meg's talk. Because I as soon as I said that I was like, I should be able to I should have been prepared with that amount, unless Dave knows it off the top of his head but I'll get it for you. Next question. I think it's about 1.5 million but you're on just definitely looking out. Yeah, I will. Michelle. I was just wondering what the priority levels were for the maintenance of the existing trails like specifically throughout Amherst just before funding any new projects. Just like what what is actually high priority for fixing bog bridges and maybe wetlands at risk and maybe that's something you have to come back with but that would be helpful and making a decision I think. That's a really good question I'm going to see if Dave has an answer to that now if not I will give him a week and then I will ask, I will get back to you. Yeah, no, I think I can answer that right now. But I don't, it's not a database to answer what I can say is this is that there are no capital virtually no capital funds to maintain trails in the town of Amherst. So, we have an operating budget every year that funds to staff members to FTEs to work on trails. But there's no capital money, virtually no capital money to go with that. And for years have kind of beg pleaded and borrowed from different sources to try to find money to replace bridges to do ADA trails and predating me working for the town Pete Westover who was the conservation director for 30 years. You know, did private fundraising go for grants, etc, etc. Right now as an example we're, we're trying to finish up as much of the rubber frost trail as we possibly can we got about a $30,000 grant for the rubber frost trail through the DCR rec trails program. So the bottom line is there's way more need there's way more demand out there than even $50,000 will fund. They're working on a couple of bridge replacements. And I will be honest, one of those bridges might be $35,000. So $50,000 seems like a lot, but it's really not. And then the related question is, do we fix what we have or or or or start something new. And I wish there was a clear kind of answer that the bottom line is, if we buy it, they will come so if we proceed with Hickory Ridge, which I think is the full intention of the town. We've got to be ready to do something at least minimally out there to make it accessible and inviting and safe for people to use it they're already using it now and we don't even own it. So hundreds of people are using it monthly, even though Barry Roberts still owns it. So what we've done is twofold we've applied for community development block grant funding. And I think I mentioned this at the last meeting but I think the number was $180,000 to create a core trail north south at Hickory Ridge. And we see this $150,000 as a supplement to that to create branches on that core tree that core trail to enhance some of the existing car pass that are already there. So I hope that kind of answers it but there's there's need in both places. And I wish we could I wish we could buy Hickory Ridge. Tell everyone to pause and not use it for a year or two until we we get a master plan done but the reality is we've got to hit the ground running and get some of those at least the basics done directional trails and some of the the connecting trails done as soon as possible. So there's, there's need out there, greater than than what we've put on on CPA. I hope that helps Michelle. Larry to answer your question, it's a little under 1.4 million that we have available for us this year and we have for just over 4 million in applications and debt service that we're paying. So that's that's the whole state I assume. No, what? No, no, that's just amused. Just that just amuse. Okay, is it is it possible with some of these that are here now to to write them as phased. So it's phase one of the golf course or phase one of the of the town trails and set it up that way so that it can be hit in multiple years. I think I'm going to look to Dave to correct me on this I think typically when projects are are submitted that are significant so last year we had an application for the, for the Jones library, special collection, right, that was, we bonded it and so we're still paying this on those projects and actually I'll look to Fletcher to to correct me on this too but I'm not my question though would be I don't know if the projects need to apply. In that, with that assumption or not, we can always ask that question, but it's not I think with these particular these projects they're not necessarily big enough that we would phase them. I don't know if they are possible to be phased that would be a question for Dave. Now that's a good question Larry just to follow up on what Anna said. So I'm staring at the proposals on my desktop there are 18 total which is a lot as Anna indicated, and there's way there's far more asks than there, there is money. So typically the purview of the CPA see to. If they if they so choose they can, they can reduce the amount of the award essentially they can say well, you've asked for 150. So, you know, they could say the same thing you did Larry. Oh, you know, we'd be willing to entertain $75,000 and come back to us next year. For the rest or something like that. Again, for a proposal as small as modest I would say as megs and the North Amherst folks I would say, you know, let's my hope is they would support that and we're, this ours is now step one of what we proposed last year, which was for 160,000 for this wonderful community project that was too much and we kind of talked past the sale. And now we're just proposing step one, which is exactly what Larry said is what we're doing for 12,900. I'm just agreeing with you it's the CPA has really. You could say arcane or specific or narrow or things they can, you know, very prescribed, lots of neutral word. Yeah, it is very prescribed. And so the proposal was too much so what we're now looking for I don't want to change the subject from general discussion of conservation projects but that's exactly what Larry proposed is what we did. Yeah. But Larry I'm sorry. No I was just gonna say I will I will ask that question of the Hickory Ridge. Hickory Ridge proposal I think that you know it's one of the things that's helpful to think about is what needs to be done all at once versus kind of what can feasibly be phased in and to Dave's point. So I think we should stop using the using the resource right and so, is it better to spend that money so we have the trails versus people making their own trails, which is not what we want. So, right, I mean there's consideration to, to both of us, Jen did you have a question. Well, yeah, or just maybe a point of clarification. The other thing is that CPA can't commit future dollars. When you said phased Larry I was also, it made me think like, Oh, could you say okay I'm proposing a three year project and it's X amount of money of $50,000 over three years but that's not how CPA works right like they can only commit money for the coming year. For the most for the most part that's true Jen in Amherst and many other towns. When you bond something you are actually making a multi year commitment so when we, when we bond a open space acquisition or we bond an affordable housing project over 10 years sometimes you're making a 10 year commitment and you, you can only really say we're going to give you, you know if it's a $500,000 bond will give you $100,000 this year but we're going to cover the $400,000 in year 234 or five, and then, and then the interest. But yeah they typically would not. They do not say hey 150,000 for trails will give you half this year and half next year they typically would not do that. And the commitment is for bonding over multiple years. Okay, thanks. The other thing I just want to say about trails and and I've been thinking about this. As I sit in this chair longer is is I'd love to have I mean I'd love to be able to say that Amherst has the best trails in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the most accessible miles of trails. The best, most well maintained trails and bridges and bog bridges and all of that. I would be lying to you if I said that's where we are, we're not there. And I can't tell you how many times people have said, you know they talked to me about where they've been hiking and they say, oh the Conti the Conti trail in Hadley. And you know sometimes I get a little defend defensive I guess is the right word because I go wow, you know why does everybody love that trail and part of the reason is, it's easy to use it's accessible. It's granted it's all, it's all pressure treated and and whatnot I don't think we're going to get there, but I'd like us to be I'd like to be more proud of the condition of our trail the condition of our bridges. I'd like consistent parking I'd like consistent kiosk signage and and branding that people when you get to an Amherst trail you know that's what it is and unfortunately we're not there yet, but I do think we need some funding to get there. I think you should look at it not as a failing Dave but as a huge potential. I mean the land. No but to the to your point like you know the amount of conservation land that we have is amazing it's just that our marketing is lagging like the preservation of the land you know so yeah. And if you if you live here you probably can find it and, but if you're not from here you're just visiting for the weekend or a week or, or your family or whatever. You know, are the maps, well, well, well, publicized and and up to date are the, are the kiosk is everything blazed well, all of those things. I think we need to step up our game. Oh, sorry. I really I had full intentions of keeping myself to 10 minutes and then I forgot about the questions part but sorry Jen. Am I allowed to air and am I allowed to say if folks have other questions they want me to ask the applicants that they can email. Is that missable. Yeah, so to you and you can you if it's from board members concom members if you email me I'll consolidate them and then we can go through me so that it's not any. That would be great. I was I was trying to remember my packet in my head. So yeah, any other questions, email them to Aaron and then we'll have we have Meg here now. I will I have to consult my CPA agenda just to confirm when each hearing is but they're the next few weeks. So get those questions to Aaron hopefully soon the proposals are in your packet in the SharePoint file. And then Meg take. Okay, I'll be really brief because I know you did such an awesome job describing our project. And Dave I just want to say I love that you sit in that chair. I appreciate Aaron's leadership over and over and all so many ways so thank you, Aaron. I don't need to say too much last year we applied for $160,000 for a really spectacular big project that would involve the community and make this conservation area a magnet for people who want to come and learn about our history. North Amherst along the Mill River was an industrial center of Western Massachusetts through much of the 19th century. In fact in 1775 when the revolution started, there were already six mills on the Mill River and North Amherst. And we see our project is a conservation project basically. It's a miracle that it's all on conservation land and so that it's protected. Many of the sites actually we're on the summer street side of Mill River and they've all been totally demolished but there are a number that are right along the river right along the trail I mean you don't even have to make a new trail to get to them. We know that people are out treasure hunting digging down for Civil War coins and buttons and we have a picture I didn't have it here but we our hope is to conserve what's left of these sites and with minimal signage everybody's really worried about signage. So I want to say something about that in a minute. We would help people who walk along the trail to be able to understand the history and thanks to qr codes. People can, you know, get their phone and boom boom be have access to a website and photographs and extensive information that you wouldn't want to put on a sign. So just to be clear, whatever signage there is will be determined through a process that we all participate in. We don't want to disrupt the, the natural beauty of this already I know because I don't have an opinion on it but I know there's different opinions about the story trail story book thing. 18 signs, I doubt we'll have 18 signs all the way to kushman but there are some places where you'd want to sign to say, there was a Puffers pond for example the ice business was a really big deal, harvesting ice in the winter and saving it so we don't have ice. This is before electricity during the summer and the clam club, which is right off the trail, and there's still a mitten of clamshells, which was a men's club, a drinking club. Just, just a little bit west of kushman common. The history that's really can be illuminated with just with, with very, very little intrusion into the conservation elements of the, of the trail. The committee we're forming that'll do that'll monitor. So I think there'll actually be more surveillance and protection than there. There is now people we have a committee identified of about 15 people in the district who will sort of take responsibility for making sure that people aren't treasure hunting and and demolishing the stones minutes people innocently take these stones apart. For example, last summer when the beach was limited because of COVID some people would go upstream and take stones from wherever they could find them and make dams in order to create deeper water. You know it's not intentional piracy but it's slowly destroying some of these historic treasures. I mean really it was quite the industrial center until things moved to Holyoke with the greater Connecticut River that had so much more potential. And most people don't know about it. When I actually got first interested in this when I was teaching history at Amherst High School decades ago many, many in the 70s. My students had to write research papers and I get these cool papers about the Hat Factory on Summer Street or the paper mill. And there's a lot of information but it's got to be pulled together. Someone said that a lot of stuff is in Pete Westover's basement. So I called him and he said yeah there's some boxes I've got a lot of notes and there's research that's been done I don't know if I can find it well we need to get those boxes and put them in the historical system read through them and put them in the historical society. So I, I could go on and on so excited about this project but I'll stop and just say in one sentence, the scope of this particular proposal for $12,900 is only to hire to work with an archaeology team, wonderful team that we've been working with, you mass we're so lucky to be next door you mass it has all this amazing talent that will do the preliminary research on four sites, the canal, and the, in the Mill River in the dam at the recreation area, the clam club and the to Robert Smills that have the most significant foundations left. And then we'll go from there. Thank you. I want to shirt the clam club on it because that's amazing. The club was was a men's club except for wedding perceptions for the, I think back then they were heterosexual weddings. All right, so any questions for Meg now, or if you come up with them again, please email them to Erin and she can compile them. Okay. Well, we're going to keep going Meg much. Thank you. I'm going to hang in because I'm interested in the rest of the agenda so but I'll be in the background. We'll beat you I think general. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Anna. Thank you for doing that. And good luck with the coming meetings. All right, so it's 735 I have so we can start our first hearing which is TRC for ASD shoots great. I'm a solar LLC for the construction of a solar photovo tail it will take energy generation facility and access road and buffer zone to be VW at shoots very road. And I believe, let's see. Great, Aaron. Yes. I'm going to promote you to a panelist. Was there anyone else do you think or I guess I'll wait for Maria to join. Oh, I have another hand up. So this is, we're just looking for people who are presenters right now for the applicant. I put the wrong Maria public comment. Public comment I think we'll probably be doing in a little while so. Yep. Yeah, so if you're part of the public joining for public comment, give us a second. Maria are you there. I am here and welcome. I'm also presenting if you could, he should have raised his hand. Who is sorry Andrew. Yeah. Okay, we should have Andrew. Okay, so first before we kick off this hearing. I'm going to create some structure for a timing for these hearings tonight. Just because we have very dense hearings and we're going to have a lot of people to hear from so in order for everyone to be able to participate we're going to do a five minute presentation by the applicant. Five minute comment from staff, five minute Q&A from commission. And then, I mean, we would love to keep public comment to 10 minutes but what we'll do is for now is say two minutes per member of the public. And I would just ask if we're, say we're glad you're here we're glad you're engaging with us on this. We're looking for hearing what people have to say, but I will also say that our job is to protect the water resources and the wetlands and Amherst so please share your comments and input germane to like what we have the ability to do here. So while I know that a solar array at the on this property could have impacts and a lot of far reaching ways in the ecosystem I 100% appreciate that I 100% appreciate our reaching implications go to and bad of this kind of development. So what we can do here is protect the water resources and wetlands involved. So, so please help me focus our conversation on things that this board is kind of in charge of. And the last thing I'll say is just that we really need to maintain a healthy respectful discourse here and if people are going off the rails and I feel like we're not having a productive conversation listening to each other and being respectful of everyone's opinions I will ask you to stop talking and I will mute you if I have to. And so please be respectful, the fact that there's a lot of varied interests for you some these lands and in protecting our water resources and be respectful of other people in the meeting. So with that, Maria Andrew welcome. As you heard we're going to give you about five minutes to give an overview of the project. I understand that we're still waiting on responses to comments from Aaron or questions from Aaron and questions from the DEP so I think in the long run will be continuing this hearing again. But maybe you could give us a brief overview now. Yes, Andrew started. Great. Thanks everybody for your time I appreciate it I will try to be very brief. Everyone's time is very valuable. My name is Andrew Shabo I am a senior manager at AMP Energy, leading our Massachusetts projects and amp energy is a solar developer seeking to develop solar and often coupled with energy storage projects on their projects. I'm here by Maria first and Berg from TRC the engineering firm, working with us to make sure that we're complying leading all the environmental efforts on site. This project in particular is located off shoot sprayer road. It's across three parcels that comprise about 100 acres or so, for which the disturbed acreage for the project would be about 45 acres, give or take. And the system size is roughly expected to be about 11 megawatts DC, as it's currently planned as proposed. But with that, TRC has done a lot of work assessing the environmental footprint impact here so I will couch it there and I will turn over to Maria to get into the nitty gritty. Thanks. So, we have been involved with this for a while we've actually been in front of you before for an Android for this site. So, all of the resources present at the site have already been reviewed, and the limits have been agreed to. And this project is is really looking at the design of the project at this point. We are very sure about where everything actually is with respect to the questions that we received from Aaron, we were under the impression that we'd be able to go through those with you tonight. We also received DEP's comments earlier today. So, with. If I could just address that so those initial questions I was sort of hoping to get just written responses from those so that I could prepare a report with recommendations to the board. I mean, do you want to like show a plan of the property or a map of the property or anything like that just as a part of like sort of the initial introduction. That would be really helpful just for my own purposes I read through all the documentation but any sort of map you have site plan would be extremely helpful. Just an overview. Really. I might be able to pull something up if you have something I'm just finding the right screen. Can everyone see that. Yes, we see yep. So this is the overall site plan. Access proposed off of shoots very road. This is actually an existing access onto this property that we are proposing to use and extend as needed to about here for this project. As you can see, we have avoided wetlands in our placement and in most places we have only used a limited amount of the buffer zone because of shading. So do you have specific questions about the site layout at all we. So, thank you for that. I think that really here. You know Aaron has taken a first look at this and in order to kind of issue her full report or a full review of the project she needs answers to several detailed questions which I know she emailed to you. So, I guess, Aaron, do you want to say anything further as part of your report. I would, I would sort of yield for public comment at this point I what I would like to do is get the responses from trc to my questions the responses to the dp comments and then if there are any pertinent comments that come up tonight that they they my understanding of their intention was to sort of collect all questions and then issue a written response that was holistic and addressed all questions and then once I have a chance to have a look at that then I feel like I'll be more prepared to have a report as far as how the project complies with the regs from my perspective. Yep. And commissioners Maria would you mind if stopped to stop sharing your screen. I just asked one question Jen before she does where's the point of interconnect where's the interconnection point here is it. Where is it Maria. Andrew, would you mind answering that I believe that it comes in along the access room but that is correct it does come in along. Commissioners any other clarifying questions here. While we have the drawing up. I have a question for Aaron which is, I didn't see the dp comments in our file do you have those and are we able to see them. Yeah, they just came in about 11 o'clock today so that's why they haven't been shared yet. Yeah, and I guess I should zoom out on that point of clarification there for all of the hearings tonight materials came in literally today during business hours, partially during business hours and then after Aaron's working day so unfortunately if we don't have materials 48 hours before the meeting it's impossible for us to do it like a full thorough technical review not to mention, even getting it to the commissioners in order for us to see it. Yeah, so that is not Aaron's fault. We need a little bit more time with these materials to work through it. As I know you know on. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it that's all. Yeah, of course. Thank you. Yep. And also commissioners I'll put you to the packet. There's a long list of Aaron's clarifying questions for me one of the big ones is understanding the stormwater modeling on that's been done on the site, where we just need a lot more technical information as to understanding the resulting changes to stormwater runoff to the resources on the site in order to fully review this project. Any other comments or questions. I have one that was just really simple and I apologize if it was addressed I did read all 369 pages of this thing. But Maria, I know I see you I probably every single one. I got posted on them and everything. But you know I think my question is I'd love to see sort of the cost benefit analysis of why the road needs to be in the buffer, and what the impact would be just to scooch it out of the buffer for y'all in terms of the process and what that the loss of panels would be on that I know I mean it's like, it's, it's so close. Yeah, just, just so that everyone can see we're talking about this piece of the access right here and the reason that it was placed there is because that's where the existing access already is. You're not gaining anything really by moving the road out of there it's it's already a clear cut area. So and then the next one down though the next little bump out where the wetlands kind of look like bite marks and plan that also goes within the, the buffer as well doesn't it. The access road is not within the buffer there is a small amount of tree clearing in that area because of shading. It says proposed 15 foot compacted and vegetated maintenance access path is not is that not on my map I'm on page 81 right now but I know it's on a couple other ones. Right next to the outlet proposed outlet pond. Are you just reading this. No it is however outside of your 75 foot, no structures on. But to Anna's point it is proposed to be honest. Sorry. I guess I'd still love kind of the thoughts on what the cost would be if it were moved out of that buffer, as well. Sorry just give me a second to make sure I've got questions as Aaron noted we were trying to compile everything, especially because there's an overlap between what Aaron asked about and what the EP asked about so we wanted to make it easier for everyone to actually see everything. Looking for my other post it's Jen. Sorry. No no problem. So to summarize on I you would say the question is, can we get the access road out of the buffer. It's an accurate summary. Yeah. And then my other thing my other question, Maria is on page and again, I want to just make sure I'm reading these correctly on page 67. The, I feel like these are all the same map but for some reason in my head I was like no this page is the specific one I want to talk about the clearing. Is that noting that the clearing up at the hand let me zoom out, kind of a smack dab in the middle there. Is the clearing going right up to that 50 foot or line that I think it's a 30 foot 30 foot thank you yeah so clear is in with it far within that buffer is that correct. It is up to that line that is per year regulations, how far we're allowed to clear in in that particular area. We are clearing up to that line. In a lot of other areas we are staying further away. And that is again dictated by shading direction so that's why some areas have more buffer zone depth of impact than others. Yep. And then I've been a question Aaron for you sorry Jen I, I only I think I only have like seven posts. Aaron my question is, if Maria if you don't mind going up to page 65. And what's the impact of having a vernal pool that's isolated right in the middle like that. What are the, is that I mean. Yeah I mean well vernal pools are all the species that rely on them are migratory species so they can travel up to 400 feet around a vernal pool so if you. I mean, we have 100 foot no disturb and I believe their proposal is to stay within those bounds. But it would, it would pretty much isolate the pool. Would the pool last, in your opinion. I don't think it would do anything good for the pool. Or the species in the pool. Yeah, but so that so they're, they're meeting our 100 foot no touch for vernal pools and there's nothing we really we can do to change the delineate resource elimination at this point. That does come back to some stormwater questions that Aaron had detailed. So I get again I would just draw your attention to the the detailed technical questions about stormwater modeling approach and results. Maria from Aaron. And a couple of my questions were about connectivity, like how we could create connectivity, so that there might be a passageway created in some cases like right under where it says sheet 305 there's a wetland that would essentially be. It would have solar panels all around it and so like that ice creating that isolated pocket of wetlands there. Like is there any way to provide some way for species to migrate in between those those pockets of wetlands there. Yeah, that was one of my questions. So that's yeah. Thank you. That was the better way of articulating my, my question of like, what does this mean. And right, kind of lessen any impact of that being isolated. Right. Yeah, what can we do to help. Yeah, I totally understand they are within the buffer, not disagreeing on that at all but just again like about the resource. Yeah. Okay, I think that's all I had for now. So, no need to apologize thanks Anna commissioners other questions. Can, can I please have an opportunity to address the question. Sure. So, the, as has been stated we are maintaining the full hundred foot buffer around the vernal pool areas, which was something that was discussed back when we did the and rad work. So, this is her master EP's guidance, a wildlife gap around the entire facility, which allows the movement of small and midsize animals throughout this entire area. So, all of these species that are dependent on vernal pools will have full access to this area without changing anything as it's currently presented. I'll latch on a little there as well. What that looks like is it's typically a six inch gap on the fence on the ground floor, so that there's enough egress for small animals and wildlife to be able to move around at some dimensions. What is the surfacing underneath the panels look like that might be useful for the commission to know. It's vegetated. So it. I believe it's detailed on the plans what the seed mix is, but the outside of the access drive itself and the equipment pads. Everything is going to be vegetated with a wildlife. So it is designed to provide value for wildlife. So it's a lot of vegetation controlled. It's periodically mode. There's a maximum height where it would start to shape the panel so it gets moved a couple of times a year to make sure that it doesn't exceed that. So mowing other chemical controls as well. No. Sorry, just one other thing to add. So we will be seeking to pursue certification or UMass Amherst. So PV friendly pollinator certification, which does mandate that you have to use native vegetation, no chemical applications. And that is maintained only on a limited basis. It's typically once maybe twice a year. I believe the certification says you can't mow past was it April, so that you're allowing species time during the late spring and summer to propagate. Yeah, fully flower so that the pollinators can take into account stuff. So my next question is on point 4.2. So this talks about this being a limited project and and again, this isn't this may just be me kind of clarifying language here. So I hear you saying that you can't move that road because there's an existing road there. And so you want to keep it where it is, which is within the buffer, but a limited project qualifies as that's a new access roadway. So I'm curious about how those two things are aligned like is it a new access roadway, or are you stuck where you are because there's an existing road. So the project was designed to essentially use an area that was already degraded, if there was not an existing degradation of the buffer zone there then we would have stayed further away in that spot. So this was a limited project to limited projects. This was provided in the report as information just to remind everyone that the Welles Protection Act has provisions for encouraging renewable energy projects. Finally, you have to be impacting a resource area for a limited project to comply and the buffer zone under the Welles Protection Act state level is not a resource area. The other reason that we pointed it out is because you know technically we are within your no disturb zone of the buffer zone locally. So in that sense, we are within your resource area. There's a bit of a fuzzy line whether or not that technically applies, but it's good information to have everyone understand that, you know, there is a big push to have renewable energy for the long term environmental health of our communities. Let's ask a few other questions. So I noticed that the area is on a bit of a slope and I may have missed this because I read it but I didn't read it in great excruciating detail. When you're clearing the land are you clearing it all at once, are you going to clear it in like stages. So sheet 118. Find it for you is the phasing plan. The phasing plan is locating that it will be cleared in five phases. Thank you, Maria. So the phasing plan is essentially the these areas as outlined are the areas that we would do and the order that we would clear them in. So we're not clearing everything at once and we would be stabilizing an area before moving on to start clearing another area. So these areas are less than 10 acres. And then I didn't see on the other retention basins. Are you guys planning on using retention basins anywhere. Yes. Let me jump down to that. I can't stop talking whenever you want to. No, no, I, this is great. I encourage these questions. I, you know, a lot of this to Aaron and picked up on in her review as particularly the BMP is like, like basins to mention basins so I'm nodding along. Yes. So, starting on sheet 308 of the plans which is, if anyone has the full PDF open it's page 73. We have details for the detention basin, and they are, I believe just along the access road in a couple of spots, because those areas are steeper and that's what our modeling has shown is needed. What BMP are those detention basins what state in the stormwater BMP handbook which one do they are you guys qualifying that as as far as I understand it's a dry basin. Okay, because I thought that dry basins were pre treatment BMPs. So is there second some kind of secondary treatment for those at once the water settles and discharges. The calculations are in the stormwater report for how they decided what they needed. Right, I'm just wondering if there's a secondary BMP associated with the detention basin, because they're a pre treatment BMP so they're supposed to be. There's supposed to be a secondary treatment with dry detention basins. The stormwater report to find more details for you on that. I didn't see the TSS removal worksheet so I wasn't sure, because I don't believe dry detention basins meet the 80% TSS removal guideline. And Maria, I know you wanted to take time to answer some of these detailed questions from Erin and also from I know there's a list from the DEP as well so you know you don't feel like you can go through this 100 page. Yeah, I mean, I'm not a lot. The stormwater report for you right now. But I did want to show you the sheets in the plan set that had the visual details for you on the basins that you were asking about. Yeah. Thank you. She 308 through 310 has those. And they have a lot of different views of them for you so that you can see exactly what's being proposed. Yeah, I think, you know, I know there's, we're going to have more time to discuss this and subsequent meetings but I'm just going to be really interesting, you know, like the erosion and sediment control plans. That's something that I'll be really wanting to dig in more deeply into. And I'll be wanting to understand the classification of the soils on the site with respect to infiltration and runoff. And what is the data on how you characterized the soils and the capacity of the soils on site. That is again in the stormwater report. Great. Yeah, so if we can just be prepared to talk about that for the next meeting that would be great. Thank you to the plan sheets of the 400 number series is where you'd see the erosion and sediment control details. So Jen I'm a little worried that we're hitting the half hour mark and we haven't taken public comment yet. I'm just was just transitioning but trying to get a chance to respond to some of these questions. So I think we've moved through the, you know, presentation of the project staff comments, Commissioner questions, unless anyone else has anything burning, we are going to come back to a pretty technical discussion of this in the next meeting. So unless there's anything else commissioners, not seeing anything. I just wanted to put a plug in and I apologize. I have not read the materials as thoroughly as some of you but Laura had asked about the phasing and I think that's something that I'd like to really hear more about at the next meeting. You know, what is that phasing clear, you know, clearing the site in phases over what period of time. And as that relates to stormwater control and runoff and erosion control. Thanks. Great. Thanks, Steve. All right. So I want to move to public comments and I'll repeat that. I want to make sure we hear from as many people as possible but we're going to limit each person's comments to two minutes as long as a new point is being made. How long is that point is germane to the purview of this commission which is protecting the wetland and water resources on the site. So with that reminder, I'm just, if you are in attendance, raise your hand and I will work my way down the list, allow you to talk. Thanks. Thanks. I have Sharon. Sharon, you should be able to speak. Okay, hi. First, I just really appreciate you guys at the conservation commission for being so careful about this. So I have two questions. One is about the access road and Maria, you described it as degraded and I'm actually very familiar with those with this area and those. That area it's just trails fairly narrow trails through the woods and I don't understand them being classified as degraded already and that being a reason why we can go into the buffer zone and I worry that that's just a way to increase the area that's being clear cut. It's not being degraded to me at all it just seems like a little path going through the woods. So, that's a question I have and I'll just ask my second question, which is, when you're talking I keep hearing you talk as if this is a done deal like we are going to do this and this is what's going to happen and I don't understand that because this is just an application and so it's not necessarily for sure going to happen it depends on how things go so it's more like, if this is approved and if everything goes well this is what would happen. This is what's going to happen and so I just object to that language, as if it's a done deal it feels like it's sort of pushing something forward that is, is not yet a done deal. So, that's it. I appreciate that Sharon thanks for sticking to two minutes, and I'm going to ask that we kind of discourse through me on this so I'll first say that you're absolutely right Sharon this is an application and you are witnessing our technical review and our best efforts to protect their resources on this on this site, as much as we possibly can. In terms of Maria's, and I think we're as well aware of that so we'll continue doing the best possible review of this project this application as we can. I also appreciate your, your observation about the current status on the on the access road on the site. As you can, you've probably heard commissioners are asking if there's any way to get the access road out of the BBW kind of regardless of what the current status of the site is there. At that point, and thank you for being here. I should say that this hearing will be continued to the next Conservation Commission meeting which I think is on November 10th. Yeah, and so keep an eye on our website and please follow along and come come back. We appreciate you being here so thank you, Sharon. I stress the question about the status of the road. Sure. I'm using the term degraded because it is an old logging road. It is compacted. So there is not much actually growing in it, and it has been previously cleared. So with respect to the other buffer zone areas on the site. It is degraded because it does not support wildlife the way that these other areas do. It is absolutely nice place to walk around I have been all over this site myself. Great. Thank you Maria. Thank you. The next person I have is Lenore. I'm going to allow you to talk. I think you're muted. Am I unmuted now. Yep, we got you. And so I should have said if you could just quickly introduce yourself. Okay. Okay. Well, as you said, my name is Lenore, Rick and I live in Amherst. I don't know what other. I could, I could say that I, I work with an organization connected to climate action now which focuses on regenerative farming forests and food systems and that connection to climate. So I guess that is waves introduction. So if we're just going to talk about water and wetlands which I don't know how we can only talk about one thing because it's connected to everything but I don't know and maybe some people don't know that forests are intimately connected with water regulation with wetland protection. They drive the biotic the biotic pumps and some system they drive rainfall, they mitigate floods. They mitigate droughts they protect rivers. And so even though this is just a small part of the forested land. The way that you talk about protecting resources on this site. We think to like chop up land in our minds as humans and you can't do that you can protect sources on resources on one site without protecting resources in the greater area doesn't work like that just the way water, you know, up there is connected to water all the way from snow down the mountain down the river to the ocean and so nothing is is separated the way we look at it and even if we talk about this little vernal pool and that you know part of the ecosystem. There's, there's a, there's a hubris and an ignorance that that we do and I understand you're just one commission and just one area but but I'm asking us to have the responsibility to think of ourselves in as as the greater ecosystem to protect the ecosystem. And, and when, when we disturb one part, we're disturbing the whole ecosystem because we're, because forests are not just trees there, their networks between plants and animal species their communication networks and we're disturbing that no matter what we think we're protecting every time we we cut and clear, and even though this is not well and and, and we have to think about soil structure, even though you're only talking about water and wetlands, because the soil structure prevents flooding and droughts prevents erosion into the waters helps retain and protect the water retention that protects the water quality helps the microbes to protect from past and disease infestation helps by a diversity we can't separate any of that. And what's happening in our, in our, and I know this is not about your job is not to think about the purpose of this project but the purpose of this project is supposedly to provide solar as an alternative energy source, because of the climate impacts that we're in, but to sacrifice the health of a forest ecosystem to do that is actually sabotaging the most critical allies we have in healing from climate destabilization destabilization so I'm Thank you and our wisdom of the whole project. Yep, with that. That's your two minutes and we appreciate your your holistic input. Thank you. And our next participant with our hand up is Eric. Eric, I'm allowing you to talk if you could quickly introduce yourself, you have two minutes. Thank you Jen yes I'm Eric background I live on Shootsbury Road in Amherst. And I'd like to thank the conservation Commission for its hard work and commitment to protecting the environment for all of us. Most projects south of Shootsbury Road encompasses many significant water and wildlife issues and would be the largest solar project in Amherst to date. It's the first one that calls for the clear cutting of a huge swath 45 acres in a contiguous forest system. The environmental impact consequences of this project are enormous and irreversible. We are also not experts in the issues that this project raises, but we've seen during the very first concom and rad discussion about this project in 2019 that work done by developers must be validated by outside and independent consultants. Every aspect of this project should be scrutinized from a total environmental impact perspective. We saw how thoroughly you reviewed the initial TRC and rad report, and we commend you for having recognized the need for a rigorous and careful review of the work completed by TRC and for having the wisdom to engage independent and expert reviewers. The enterprise wetlands report subsequently prepared by Emily Stockman and associates cited several inaccuracies in TRC's initial wetlands assessment. The amended and rad was eventually accepted by the concom. This project encompasses an area near the Adams Brook, which flows into the Fort River is not far from the Atkins Reservoir and a bunch of neighborhood that relies on its wells. And it threatens the area's groundwater recharge system. This project is being proposed with an enlarge and interconnected ecological system at a time when precipitation in the northeast has increased by 53% since 1996 and the loss of topsoil from stormwater runoff due to deforestation is a serious concern. And now this application is before you again. We're asking that you impose the same rigorous due diligence in evaluating the project's operating assumptions, associated data and technical specific specifications, which directly relate to the project's impact on the environment. On the areas hydrology on the short and long term damage to water resource areas, local aquifers and wells on issues of stormwater runoff control on soil analysis and a loss of habitat and damage to wildlife. When I look at the aerial view of this project. It doesn't seem possible that the water resources that are here today could possibly exist after deforesting 45 acres around them. I'm not an expert. The common sense tells me we have some major issues here. And I hope you will insist upon independent, extensive and in depth environmental impact studies of this project. Thank you. Thank you for that. Well, perfectly two minutes. All right, we're going to move to Jenny. Jenny, you should be able to talk if you unmute yourself. A quick introduction and then you can you hear me now. Yes. Hey, I'm Jenny Callick I also live on shoots very road. Of course, very grateful to the commission for all the work you're doing. I'd like to address the state's attitude towards renewable energy. Seven months ago, Governor Baker signed a landmark bill entitled and act creating a next generation roadmap for Massachusetts climate policy. A central feature of the new law is the resilient lands initiative, which states that going forward, there should be quote, no net losses of farms and forest. Because science has shown that preserving farms and forest and reducing fossil fuel emissions are equally vital to reaching greenhouse gas targets. This has been the law for seven months. I understand that tonight the conservation commission begins to consider a proposal to deforest 45 acres. And the commission will have to find a way to protect the water source, and somehow to prevent a storm water disaster, both during and after construction. PRC notice of intent raises significant concerns as to whether this site is suitable for an in ground solar installation and particularly when the state no longer wants forest cut. In addition, consulting the natural resources inventory that amp submitted to the zoning board. They also found, and this is LEC's environmental consultants, that this particular site requires a series of serious mitigation measures to protect the site's natural resources, its water and wildlife. The site contains, as we know, wetlands and vernal pools, many species and is proximate to an endangered species, which is considered to be important when the site is looked at for cutting. Additionally, it is, as we know, adjacent to Adams Brook, which is classified as cold water fish resource, tributary to Fort River, and the source of our community's water. I'd like to echo what's been said, we definitely ask the conservation commission to look to other resources require a peer reviewed engineering report. And in addition to the services of a wildlife biologist to oversee construction as recommended by the LEC environmental consultants. Thank you for the time. Thank you very much, Jenny. Appreciate it. And I, again, if you are joining us for this hearing and you have a comment. If you can raise your hand, I see Jerry next Jerry. Hello, you should be hello. Can you hear me. Yep. I'm Jerry Weiss from South Amherst. And I actually just have a question I hope somebody can answer, because I understand that you are concerned with water and all of its aspects. And I am very impressed with the preparation that you've all done in having these hearings. The question is, is there any governmental body that will be looking at the entire ecological effects of such a project, the destruction of the forest and all that will entail loss of oxygen production, loss of habitat, etc. Is there anybody who's going to be looking at that before a decision is made. That's all I have to say. That's a great question. Commissioner, I might need you to chime in on this. I mean, so as you heard, it's in front of zoning as well. But aside from review of relevant town commissions, and for which, you know, have per view over the specific regulations involved in this project. I don't know of a holistic kind of ecosystem scale review that happens. Laura, I know you might have some more perspective on this. And Aaron, please chime in if I'm incorrect on that. I actually say that I think we're pretty fortunate numerous to have a, to have a commission that has, you know, to have a town that has a conservation commission such as this to focus on protecting wetland and so forth. There are plenty of, plenty of counties and states that don't have boards such as this to review applications. So, you know, there are a lot of there's no like holistic review but of course there are a lot of permits that go into constructing a solar farm. Yeah, and yeah, as I'm Jerry you might know but as Laura is referring to, you know, we have like, I think 350 or 351 communities in Massachusetts and we all regulate the Well and Protection Act locally. So the fact that this commission is doing this thorough of a review is something that's unique to Massachusetts it doesn't really answer your question though, and that is that there's not a, you know, holistic ecosystem review that goes into this instead it's, you know, done from a regulatory perspective. Yeah, yeah. From Towns and the Commission. Yeah, I do appreciate what you're doing. But I am worried about the whole ecology of this project. Hard to, hard to separate it out, but that's our, that's our job is to do our best to protect the resource we can under the Well and Protection Act and our town bylaws. Yeah, and Jen, could I just just agreeing with you and Laura that there isn't a comprehensive as Jerry asked a comprehensive review environmental review within your purview of the Comcom, you know, you will cover certain aspects of the project. I just wanted to also clarify that the project is not before the zoning Board of Appeals yet an application has been submitted, but there is. There is not a hearing date for the for the project. I also wanted to say that, you know, Amherst at this time does not have a solar bylaw on the books many communities in Massachusetts do. It's something that some residents of Amherst are interested in seeing. They brought that to the planning department's attention, but communities like Belcher town and many communities central in Central Mass and Western Eastern Mass to have bylaws solar bylaws on the books. So that's an avenue of people are interested in pursuing. Thanks. Thanks Dave, very much for that. And did you have something you look like you have something to add. Um, I just wanted to say that we are about seven or eight minutes away from having spent an hour on this hearing and I would just say maybe we should take one or two more comments and then we should probably try to move on and take more comment at the next meeting. Okay, Maria, I see you hold on so I was just going to say Aaron. Yeah, we have two more people with their hands, hands up so we'll see. Is that two more comments and we'll keep it to two minutes Maria did you have a response to Jerry or Yes, everyone did a fantastic job covering what happens locally. Just in case it wasn't clear. These applications get submitted to DEP at the state level and are also reviewed there and while DEP doesn't actively issue the permit at this stage it's it is a local permit. DEP does provide comments and guidance to the commission to help with the review. So those are the comments that we referenced earlier in the discussion that came in a little earlier today that DEP has done their review and provided that for all of us to chew on as well. Great clarification Maria and yet, like I said and I said before Jerry, stay tuned I mean what will happen in our next meeting on October 10 is that Maria will come back with kind of responses to Aaron's technical review questions responses to Commissioner questions and responses DEP comments and questions. So there's a lot more, more to come on that. Thanks all. Yeah, thanks very much. Great. Michael. You should be able to talk if you unmute yourself. If you could give us a quick introduction and then limit your comments to two minutes, please. My name is Michael Lepinsky, a 30 year resident of Amherst and I live on Sheetsbury Road. And I have a great statement I've written but it sounds an awful lot like some of the other ones we've heard so I'm going to spare you that and I'll just submit that in writing, and you can add it to the record. I think what I would like to focus in on there were some specific issues that have been brought up already that as I look at the project and try to evaluate it and look for pros and cons. I'd like to bring to your attention some of the things you've, you've kind of taken a look at some of the things I don't think you have. One of the areas that I would hope that you look at is it seemed like in the project, they were using a pretty basic soil map that was, you know, just pretty generic. And it didn't look like there was any attempt by the developer to actually go out there and see what the soils really were. And I would urge you guys to put that as a requirement because I don't think those soil maps are that accurate. And I think that because erosion is such an issue with this and protection of the water is so such an issue I think it's really critical that we actually know what the soils are not just go by some generic map that I think has been proven not to be very accurate on other projects. And that slope is also a very important issue on this and some of you guys have brought that up already. One thing that I found valuable was at the Wheelock project up in Shootsbury, they had a they had a slope analysis map. And basically it's an overlay of the whole project that I'm sure you know you guys can read contour lines etc but it's not always easy to do it at a glance and basically it's just a colored map that overlays the project, which gives a person a good idea where things slope where is it steeply slope where is it flat. And I found that to be very useful and understanding the Wheelock project and I think it would be very useful if the developers did one of those for you I don't think it's much work, and it makes things clear. Along with that, obviously one of the biggest issues with this project is the Adam Brooke. Unfortunately, the contour maps that you're looking at in this development only show you the contours of the of the property. And that makes sense on one level, but on another level it doesn't make sense at all because if you go to the southeast corner of that of that project and you look at the contours there. It doesn't look that bad, but if you step off that map, another 50 hundred feet, you see that the slope down to the Adams Brooke is almost. It's almost a cliff. And it concerns me, after watching what happened in Williamsburg, and the kind of issues they had there with runoff from a site very similar to this. It concerns me that that once that water gets moving down that slope, it would have very easy access to Adams Brooke and I think that should be one of your, your main considerations and evaluating this project. Thank you. That's about two minutes. So I'm going to cut you off unfortunately. I think most of those we I appreciate those additional thoughts I think in terms of classifying the soils. We did, I think we brought that up a couple of times and I know Maria will be addressing that when we see her again on the 10th. I appreciate your, your thoughts on other ways to look at the, the slope on the product on the site. That's point taken. Okay, last participant bill. You should be able to talk. You can hear me. Yep. Okay. Yeah. Yep. Thank you. Also in shoes. So first of all, thanks to the commission and really the expertise, you know, on the commission is, is it's good to see. So thank you very much. I'm really going to reiterate in some ways and maybe just add a little edge. What's been said about your potential, the larger ecology, you know, the effect on the groundwater the slope, the effect on the soils. I'm not sure is it within the commission's purview to be thinking about right the overall the impact of the land outside of those 45 acres up and down the road. And so I think that it's from my perspective it isn't just about the installation itself. And it's ecology. And as, as I think it was Jerry who talked about the much, much larger ecology, what we're somewhere in between as a part of. So I think that's, I hope the commission is also going to be looking at that. I think I'm particularly concerned about that, in addition to everything that's already been said, very well. So that's it for me. That's all I wanted to say. Phil, I think, you know, as you've deduced it, you know, we have to deal with the application in front of us, but there are ways that we control or can help mitigate impacts to water which is a flowing resource. So you've heard our focus on storm water and sediment management so there's a lot of concern about increased erosion and increased runoff and that is something that would certainly flow downstream. So focused on that aspects of the resource that we can help protect is the way that we help protect that and spoke for example downstream of the site. So it's not a perfect system but we're doing the best I can we can with the levers we have here. Okay, appreciate it. Yep. All right. I think that was our last hand. Okay, so unless anyone else has any final questions or issues to flag for Maria. Then I think what we're looking for is a motion to continue. I see Maria as a hand. There are a bunch of things that have been brought up this evening. And in terms of having a clear process forward. I was hoping that we could have a couple minutes just to clarify what's happening next. The verification of soil map accuracy has not been done. So based on the conversation, I believe the commission wants that done. So if I can get confirmation on that so that we can get it scheduled. Yes, actual soil pets. Sorry, Erin, go ahead. So no, so. Okay. We need soil. Right. Okay, I just want to ask one more question has, has depth to groundwater been confirmed on the site for the design of the storm water systems. Has there been exploratory borings to determine the surface to groundwater elevation for the design of the storm water on the site. My understanding is that test pits of any kind have not been done at this point. Okay, it is very common to use soil maps there are other counties where they are more relied upon. So yeah, so provide information for what is expected in the area. Yeah, so before like smaller soil profiles from when we did the delineation work but those are not what you need for the storm water design. I would say we need, we need to confirm soils and we need to determine depth to groundwater. Immediately, because there's no way to determine if the storm water systems are going to function are going to function as intended without knowing where the groundwater is on the site. We have a decent idea of where it is we know where it comes out in the wetlands because there are very steep slopes there, but your point is taken. I'm, I'm just trying to put together a list so that we know what we're going to be talking about at the next meeting and that's so we know what to be expecting. I'm wondering Maria, are you going to need more than two weeks to do that work because if so I mean I would almost recommend that we continue to the second meeting in November to give you more time, because I think that that's going to take some time. Frankly, the way this has been done we've been told we can't tell you a whole lot about the project this evening is a little atypical. I understand you have a lot on your schedule and that this is already run longer than you were hoping because you have a lot on your schedule. But with, with respect to what others have already brought up. I'm trying to know the commission's intent around a peer reviewer if the commission wants a peer review, we're supportive of however the commission wants to review this. Yeah, and we'd like to know that that process can be kicked off. With all due respect, we can't start with a peer review until the data has been collected in the field, like it would be putting the cart before the horse to say we're going to hire a peer reviewer if there's no data for them to review that if they don't have confirmed soil, if they don't have confirmed confirmed. You know, great. With all respect. You have almost 400 pages for them to review and they may have different questions than you have that we would answer. This is a great use of time right now. Understand that you may not be able to hire someone right this second but we would like to know if it is your intent to hire someone. That's what we were asking. And I think that that's something that the commission should be able to talk about I mean it's a complex project the commission is either comfortable reviewing something of this complexity or they feel like they should have additional help. So I would just say there's a lot of missing information. From my perspective there's there is a lot of missing information and pieces of information that we need in order to even do a review of the 400 and some odd pages that were submitted to us. And to use that data to confirm if the regulations, you know if if there's compliance with the regulations based on the application so I also think that when we've been, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just I was just, I was still speaking. So we've we've already been in the hearing for over 60 minutes and to bring this up when we've been in the hearing for an hour is this is another half an hour conversation so my recommendation to the board would be, let's get answers to the technical questions that we need answers to the answers to the DEP comments, revisit it at the meeting as planned on the 10th and then let them move forward with their data collection in the field that's currently missing from the application. If it's prepared by the 10th then we'll have it to move forward and render a decision if it's not then we'll continue to the 24th. That would be my recommendation. I wholeheartedly agree with that recommendation I think that there's just we need more data to even conduct a third party's review of even just the form water plan so Yeah, so I think Maria, the plan would be that we continue into the next meeting and if you can do the due diligence to answer DEP comments answer Aaron's review comments and collect any data in order to answer those comments. That would be the best way to move forward. So, commissioners, I think we're looking for a draft emotion. To move to continue the public hearing for shoots very road. Notice of intent in November 10 at 735 p.m. Second, I can. I'm going to go to Anna with that one. Alright, voice vote. Anna. Hi, Michelle. Michelle. Oh it's doing that weird thing again Michelle. Yeah. I, I, I, there we go. Hi. Laura. Hi. Watcher. Hi, Larry. Hi. And I'm an I as well. Thank you for being here Maria and Andrew. And we look forward to seeing you again on the 10th. Thank you all for your time. Really appreciate it. See you soon. Thank you. All right. Aaron, is there a way to set that agenda item for more, I think it was set for like five minutes today. Is there just thinking ahead for whatever hearings following them next time. Yeah, so the strategy with that is that because a lot of these hearings some require and sometimes in an unexpected manner, we have to have a lot of time and time to have individual questions and answers. And then there's a lot of situations. Continuations come in last minute. So if we set a half hour or an hour block of time, then we're sitting there waiting for the next hearing to start. And, and so I, what I usually tell applicants is. Five minute intro, five minutes for questions, five minutes for comments from staff, five minutes for public comment. And we aim for about 20 minutes. And obviously in a situation like this, it's kind of a bummer, but unfortunately, that's how I would recommend we do it, unless the board feels differently. That makes total sense. I thank you for explaining that. Sorry for taking a few minutes for it. Go ahead. That's why it's tricky to look at the agenda, because you never know how long it's going to actually be. All right, so we'll move. Now that it's eight, four day three, we'll move to our 735 hearing, and that is a continuation. It's the ANRAD SWCA for Confirmation of Resource Area Boundaries at 52 Fearing Street. And so I know I have Mickey. I'm going to promote you to a panelist. You should be joining any moment. Hi, Mickey. Was there anyone else? You're muted. Don't know if there's anybody else on, so I think it's me. I will make a quick, because I know you've just spent a long time in that last meeting. It was interesting listening to him. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you for being here. I just want to reiterate for everyone, because I know we also have a lot of interest in this hearing, that the format we are again going to attempt to follow is a brief introduction and five minute project overview and update from the applicant. In this case, that's SWCA and Mickey Marcus is here representing the applicant. And then we'll do five minute report out from the staff. And in this case, that's Erin. And for this hearing, that will be an overview of a finding of fact with respect to the perennial versus intermittent status of Tanbrook. And then we'll do five minutes of question and answer from the commission. And we've really kind of been back and forth through this one guys. So we'll really try to get five minutes on this one. And then again, we welcome comments from the public. But once again, please keep them germane to the jurisdiction of the commission. And also, please try to avoid repetition. We understand the difficulties involved in this prep, the complexities involved in this project, and we're doing the best we can, but we need to keep moving. So with that, Mickey, could you please introduce yourself and give us a brief overview and update on the project? Yeah, I'm Mickey Marcus. I'm a wetland scientist with SWCA. I live in Amherst. Jen, with your permission, may I share a screen of the map? Yes, please do. Okay. You know, I just submitted this plan to the commission this afternoon, so I'm not expecting any major decisions. I just wanted to point out that this is a revised wetland map. Emily Stockman reviewed it. I would say really all the changes that Emily had suggested are included in the map. The primary area is this area right in here. It's a, we added a little bit of VVW here. And then there's a funny, like a historic ditch or channel or swell. And it's about three to four feet wide. Emily suggested that it should be included as a town bylaw intermittent stream. I helped write the bylaw in Amherst, and it probably does meet that definition. It doesn't drain any upgrade in wetlands, but it's just a historic structure. And it does fill with water during rainstorms. It doesn't really have flow. So anyway, I included that. It's about almost 1300 square feet. So that's been included. I did not change the assessment of the perennial intermittentness of Tambrook. We're calling it intermittent. And that's because when I follow the DEP regulations on how to classify the stream, it comes out as intermittent. And I know that, you know, the commission had sent kind of an alternate definition. I think it's wrong. And I'm happy to go through that with you. But basically, there are two reasons why I think this section of Tambrook should be considered intermittent. And I sent you a letter. Again, we can discuss it now or or a subsequent meeting. But DEP regulations require a review of the current USGS map. And the current USGS map does not show the stream as perennial. So, you know, the commission, you know, had sent a map from 1901, 1941. They don't count. They're not the current map. And historic, you know, we know that wetlands get changed and altered and modified over time. And so we're looking at, you know, the existing conditions. And that's the current USGS map, not shown as perennial. And the second part of the equation is that DEP says, okay, well, use stream stats. It's a USGS tool for measuring watersheds and stream. We did that. And the watershed area comes out to be 0.46 square miles, about 294 acres, less than a threshold of a half a square mile. And again, you know, the commission, you know, in previous writing said they don't think stream stats is correct. I think you just have to follow the regulations. I'm not really sure why, you know, the commission is considering changing the rules. But in this application, you know, the same way we delineate BVW, 150% wetland plans, we just follow the rules that DEP gives us. If the town bylaw has alternate regulations, we will follow those. But in just following the procedures and the rules, this stream channel should be considered intermittent. And just to point out, I know every site is different. Every site is unique. But this same commission did issue an ORAD saying that the stream was, in fact, perennial after the headwall at UMass. That was a decision, a previous decision that this commission made. So I think it's very inconsistent to sort of modify decisions and consider it perennial. So that's what I submitted. I submitted some documentation. I submitted a watershed map, revised wetlands, incorporating Emily's suggestions. It's really, you know, at this point, I don't have anything new to say. It's up to the commission to either accept the map or issue your modified determination of wetland boundaries, and resource areas. Okay. Great. Thanks, Mickey. So I think, again, like, like Mickey said, everyone, this revised plan showing Emily's suggested revisions to the resource area boundaries was just received at the end of the day today. So we haven't had time to review this and make sure that it corresponds with Emily's edits. I know she had a lot of like detailed suggestions in there that we'd like time to review. I also think with respect to the discussion of the designation of Tanbrook as perennial versus intermittent, you know, we're following the guidance we've received from Town Council, which is that we can do a finding of fact. And given, you know, the DEP regulations on designation of perennial versus intermittent, there are other avenues you can follow to designate a stream. So Erin has done, actually, Mickey, I can ask you to stop sharing for a second. That would be great. So Town staff has gone to great effort to do a very reproducible, very scientifically strong finding a fact around the designation of Tanbrook. So Mickey, it sounds like you're all set for your project overview. Erin, do you want to take the, you know, five minutes or less of staff comment to walk us through the finding of fact here? Sure. So I have been learning about Tanbrook, like all of you, and my first effort was to look at historic topos, because they may not be 100% accurate, but they are very interesting in showing where resource areas were historically, since we know that humans have drastically altered the landscape. But anyway, so sort of the beginning is just to note, because I do understand where Mickey is coming from as far as the current USGS topo. And obviously, this is not the most current, this is 1901, but you can see that Tanbrook is identified as a solid blue line in 1901. And then again, in 1941, you can see on Faring Street that Faring is shown, or I'm sorry, Tanbrook is shown as a solid blue line coming into the campus pond. So it was historically mapped on the USGS topo. And then sometime between 1941 and 1971, significant portions of the Tanbrook were piped underground, starting from up at the Wildwood Cemetery, there's a pond at the base of Wildwood Cemetery. It's culverted underneath Wildwood School fields, underneath the junior high school fields, underneath the high school playing fields down. It may daylight, a portion of it daylight between the high school and the middle school, but then it also highlights behind Bertucci's parking lot for a short stint. There are a lot of inputs to Tanbrook and because of topography and because of the change and the development of the downtown landscape, once we reach 1971, it's no longer shown on the USGS topo. And then of course in 2021, it's not shown on the USGS topo, but you can see the contour lines where they follow the contour of the stream bed, where it is daylighted from I think McClellan down. And there was significant information shared with me initially when this permit was filed. To Mickey's point about wetlands changing all the time, wetlands do change all the time, development changes all the time. This watershed is unique in that it is a major stormwater basin, so a lot of the inputs to the stream are actually coming from stormwater infrastructure, like catch basins, culverts could be coming from people's septic systems, it could be coming from all kinds of places. And so in order to capture that, initially of course the applicant looked at the stream stats application and documented that the watershed was 0.44 square miles in size and provided this map to us. Erin, can I just back up one second? So to segue from the first part of the DEP regulation where it requires that the stream is shown as a solid blue line on a map, there's also acknowledging that if that's not the case there are other possible qualifying factors for intermittent versus perennial streams and the correct things that Erin has highlighted here. So first watershed size of at least a half a square mile and the second is involving the flow rate. So in the subsequent part of the analysis Erin went through and confirmed you know she did a very detailed finding of fact about what the actual drainage area of Ann Brook delineated from the bottom of the Ann Radin question. So just so people know where we're headed next is a detailed review of what that drainage area looks like. Correct. Yep, thank you for that. No, thank you. Thank you because it gets lost in translation sometimes. So in the stream stats report, this is what the applicant stream stats report look like and you can see if you look closely at the stream stats report, it doesn't even include the pond which is right where the little hand is sitting. Also the edge here so like this point right here where the hand of my cursor is, it doesn't extend all the way up the hill to the UMass water towers which there's a slope there so it would be capturing stormwater on that hillside as well and there is documented stormwater infrastructure up there as well. As well there's stormwater infrastructure in downtown that comes into this watershed which is documented through the town's utility data but the discrepancies with stream stats have been documented in published research bodies and that was a lot of the information that was initially sent to me that was like hold on a second something is wrong here and so I read that information and started this sort of independent project again through the town attorney to try to determine what is what is our best course forward with determining the correct watershed boundary. So the first thing that I did was look at the DEMs the digital elevation model and I ran some watershed analysis tools of the DEM to try to determine the extent of the watershed just based on topography and again based on that analysis the Tanbrook watershed does extend up to the past up to and past the Wildwood elementary school in the Wildwood cemetery. Surrounding topography the high point is at the UMass water tower and at the top of the hill at Wildwood cemetery which isn't captured in that initial report that was provided by SWCA and stream stats and again you know this entire upper portion is is missed by the stream stats report. Also again town drainage structures catch basins are located in that area and drain into this area so it's capturing that storm water as well and this is the results of the flow accumulation model from the digital elevation model which these little excuse me these little red lines here are coming down these show that the topography that it's capturing water from these areas and bringing it down into the watershed and then again oh go ahead clarify at this point what we're saying is the delineation conducted by the stream stats tool which is is essentially doing the same thing that Aaron's doing we're saying we disagree with the delineation so Aaron has done a finding of fact to show that if you delineate it with a digital elevation model in ArcGIS you can end up with a larger drainage area just to like catch everyone up. And then this is the the south end of the watershed and again the Tanbrook watershed extending down into Amherst center there are documented drainage structures draining westerly from Kellogg Ave from the parking lot in the at the bank center parking lot and drainage structures at the intersection of north pleasant street which drain drain down the hill and again the the flow accumulation model does show that there is water moving from that area downhill toward the Tanbrook watershed. So once I got the watershed pretty well delineated based on the tools that I ran on the digital elevation model I used the edit basin feature in stream stats to capture a more accurate boundary of the watershed in order to use the stream stats program to extract the information we were looking for regarding watershed size and flow rate. And in doing so I was able to document that the watershed is 0.5 square miles and that the 99 flow duration is 0.118 which exceeds the predicted flow rate less or greater than or equal to 0.01 cubic feet per second which is stated in the regulations as it has to be greater than that to be it has to be greater than the 0.01 cubic feet per second to be perennial stream. And just to clarify a flow duration is up as a likelihood of exceedance of that flow so what we're saying is there's a likelihood of exceedance higher than the regulated likelihood of exceedance of flow in the stream. Thank you for that. I'm writing paragraph breaks for you. No, this is great. So this is sort of the end result of my watershed analysis showing the contours the USGS contours defined below it and also you can't see that see it but there is also the flow data is also included in there. And then this is based this is just an explanation of what my analysis was based on. The data that it could be replicated by anybody who wants to have a look at it. Thanks Erin. Okay so Miki we kind of delayed this conversation from our last hearing because we wanted to have a chance to you know share with you the finding effect and the work that Erin's done and kind of be able to have a discourse about it. It seems like you can I don't know I guess I should give you a chance to respond if you would be willing to move forward with a designation of what we found is a perennial designation of Tanbrook. Yeah can I share a screen another screen Jen? Sure. Okay so I submitted this plan this was after one of the hearings where the commission asked for a more detailed assessment of the watershed area so it did get expanded by this is 0.46 square miles and I guess I just have to say I object to the commission changing the rules. You know you're saying that follow the wetland regulations but whereas DEP regulations say follow the stream stats you're saying stream stat doesn't work we're going to use an alternate method and I just think that's the wrong approach I think that in your decisions you should follow whatever the rules and regulations are and I think you're you're exceeding that so you vote any way you want on this but I think I'm laying down you know my argument that we follow certain rules and expect you know the commission to you know do your job and uphold the wetland regulations and I also think that if you don't like stream stats or don't like the way this is evaluated you know change your bylaw so you have a way to evaluate streams and watersheds differently in town so yeah noted thank you for that I think our um commission we should discuss whether we want to accept this designation of of tan brokos perennial for you know next but I just would say I don't think it's a question of whether it's not that we're not following the regulations we are following the regulations we found an error with stream stats which is a tool for this delineation so it's not a question of liking it or not liking it it's that the fact is that the contributing area to this point in tan brok would mean that tan brok would be designated as a perennial stream and that's kind of the result of this analysis um so I guess commission does anyone else have any questions particularly about Aaron's analysis and then Aaron it sounds like you have some input and guidance um Anna do you want to go ahead yeah it's a quick one so all right so we're saying we found an inaccuracy in stream stats have we reached out to usgs have we reached out to the folks who kind of are controlling the and I'm hoping Aaron you've got a quick and easy answer for me on that because if there is an error should do they want to fix it on their end as well so that everything is aligned I'll let you take that one Aaron so I just want to say two things quickly the first is that I spoke with the town attorney and the town attorney told me that according to my analysis we are following the regulations following them step by step is it shown on usgs no if it's not shown on the usgs but has a watershed size greater than this look in stream stats stream stats it doesn't specify in stream stats in the regulations if it's a stream stats um algorithm that's run or why does it contain an edit basin feature if that option is available to us when we know there's an inaccuracy so um that's what we our recommendation was from the town attorney and he said that that was our best um path forward as far as meeting the regulations on reviewing this so I just sort of wanted to counter what was said that we're not following the regs um and yes I have been in touch with usgs about the discrepancy in the algorithm that's the automatic algorithm that's that runs in stream stats when you place a point and they are aware of it and I I am doing everything in in the background that I possibly can to collect data on tanbrook um working with umass on potentially two independent separate studies um gauging the flow of tanbrook so that we can get a sense of the flow of the stream because anybody who's seen tanbrook if you just look at it it does not look like an intermittent stream I've seen many intermittent streams generally you can hop over this one's almost 20 feet wide the first time I saw it my jaw dropped and I'm like this is not intermittent but um you know it's it's um it's on the usgs radar it's on the depu radar we're going to push everything we can to collect information and try to apply some pressure so that something can be done to correct this error in the program um yeah so I guess the other thing I'd say about that is just that measuring flow in a stream is a really easy thing to say but it's actually a very hard thing to do um so when Erin says that she's working with a group at UMass to do it rating a stream means that you continually monitor stage and then you have to take volumetric flow measurements at different stages and then literally relate discharge to stage create a rating in order to measure the stream and that's something that requires catching a full range of the hydrologic conditions at the site and that can take anywhere from a year if you're super duper lucky to 10 years um so it's not something that is like go out there take a measurement and then it's done we have to understand the entire range of flow in the stream um so that's just not trivial which is why trying to understand the drainage area was the first approach um yeah so good question thank you Erin any other commissioners any other comments or questions at this point okay um Erin can I just add one one point just so the commission knows that there's a procedure in wetland tax act regulations for challenging whether a stream is intermittent when it's shown as perennial and there's a procedure that you go through and dp requires video and monitoring um and so there are many streams shown on usgs maps as perennial that have in fact been reversed uh and have determined to be intermittent there's no procedure the opposite way uh so uh the presumption is if it's not on a usgs map uh it's intermittent uh if it's shown as intermittent on a usgs map it's intermittent if it has a smaller watershed area a half a square mile or less it's intermittent so those are the presumptions and I guess I'm just asking the commission to follow the rules and follow what the dp regulations say not trying to force anything that doesn't make sense but I'm we're just following the regulations and our expectation is the commission's going to do the same right so I think it's down to a kind of we both think that we're following their regulations and expect the others to do the same and we disagree on how we follow the regulations so I think the first thing is that we have to make a decision as a commission that we um how we are if we're accepting Erin's finding a fact the town staff finding a fact um first so so I don't think we procedurally need to vote is that Erin do we need to vote on accepting the finding a fact with tanbrook as perennial versus intermittent or I would recommend whatever your finding be that you do make a motion to that effect as to for this for this specific site what you're considering the status of it to be that way it's clear it's on the record and um then the applicant will have some guidance moving forward and it's not a matter of arguing it again and again yep okay all right for that um well so it's not about the application it's a subtopic um that we need to make a decision on in order to move forward with reviewing the amrad um so I feel like the public comment isn't necessary the public comment should come about the application the resource area delineation this is a question of what the resources that we're delineating um so my instinct would be that we need to make this decision and then we can discuss with mickey what kind of our how we're going to move forward with this application um and then we can take public comment if the commission if the commission feels like it's at an impasse um and you need more time you can you can take more time to consider it but um well let's let's kind of get a feel for this yeah does anyone have concerns about accepting erin's finding a fact in designating tanbrook as perennial no I don't okay no concerns from larry I'm not seeing anything from anyone else so I think we might be close to a consensus that we would accept tanbrook as as designate tanbrook as perennial we're talking about designating tanbrook the whole thing or just only this tanbrook upstream of the downstream most point on this property on the property in the application right but the power that that yields is on this property in this property alone this would have to be done every individual property that has an application before the board right the other option just to be clear is that we would pause this entire like continue this project until we were able to fully see this through with stream stats fixing their data right or just accepting stream I understand that that's that's one it doesn't seem like that's the direction we're going but that that would be the third alternative is that we fully pause everything until everybody is on the same page stream stats and erin's data is that right I mean I from what I understand it would be an undertaking of an entire study by usgs to understand that yeah and and that we don't even have funding to um initiate so that could be years down the road um so I wouldn't want to hold up this problem um okay well so why don't we take a vote on the designation of tanbrook well why don't we take a vote on the finding of fact first and the net result is that of what it does right so it's a vote it's a motion to accept erin's finding in fact thereby desing and just yeah and to say that we therefore find tanbrook not to be intermittent okay so I need a motion to accept erin's finding a fact that would mean that we thereby designate tanbrook as perennial so I think Larry got that one hi we just got unsaid and so I didn't think it had to be repeated we need a second for the record yes we need a second okay Anna's got the second okay voice vote Anna hi fletcher hi michelle hi laroy hi laura oh sorry hi larry hi and I'm an I okay with that mickey um so I just asked you to close the hearing and issue your orad okay so we can't issue the orad unless we have a riverfront shown on the plan well okay so hold on one second if he's asking us to close the hearing then we would basically be saying that we were not confirming the resource area boundaries on the site um the end result would be that we were saying um that we are confirming that that the boundaries described in the reference plans and the abbreviated notice of resource area delineation were found to be inaccurate and cannot be confirmed and then list the resource areas specifically and I would suggest if the commission does close the public hearing that we would um actually issue the orad at the next meeting because um we I would have to do a more extensive finding a fact regarding the revision that was provided to us um at 2 p.m. this afternoon because Emily hasn't looked at that yet and we can't we can't confirm those boundaries without her final um approval of them okay so let me make sure I understand what you're saying Erin is that we close the hearing tonight you have to do a detailed list of the resource boundaries that are missing from the plan and in order to do that you need to be able to compare Mickey's plan to Emily's third party review exactly yeah okay and then and then cite that in a finding a fact in addition to the um the tanbrook finding a fact that you guys just voted on okay so that it's all whole it includes all resource areas not just riverfront yep okay yeah and that's just an artifact of not having time opportunity and time to review the plan submitted today just because we need materials you know at least 48 hours before these meetings so we have time to fully review them but I but I don't um I wouldn't if if if Mickey feels that that's the direction that he wants to go then I wouldn't dissuade the commission from going that direction because I think DEP may need to get involved in this case and voice an opinion on this situation and and and if we are wrong in our approach then DEP should should supersede our decision and give them their permit and if we are right then DEP should uphold our decision and either way we shouldn't be holding up their application further um with these with this lack of clarity that we're all trying to find the right path yep appreciated yeah okay um so we need to take public comment we have both Rolf and Maria here again um so let's do that um I'll repeat um if you're here for the hearing about this WCA application for an anradut 52 Fearing Street um please raise your hand we are limiting um public comment to two minutes per person and if you could please kind of avoid repetition and stick to um comments about the resource and the issues germane to this commission I'd really appreciate it so um Rolf I'm allowing you to talk thank you commissioners I realized in the last meetings I haven't introduced myself so thanks for being that into this meeting it's important Rolf Karlstrom 73 Fearing Street just across the street from the 52 Fearing Street property and I've lived on my property for 21 years now with Tanbrook running through the property and I've said this before but I want to reiterate that the stream has never been dry in 21 years including very severe drought periods in Amherst when we had water shortages and we were having water restrictions I wish I had taken pictures I wish I had done a video every year I'm not sure that would have held up I know it's anecdotal I'm very glad that we have a real flow rate analysis going on right now because this is a perennial stream so I applaud you on that Aaron in particular and the commission on actually doing the data to correct an error that comes from this tool that was used by the applicant to a couple comments on the applicant's presentation they had completely left out a large area of drainage in the original application which I find amazing for a wetlands consultant a full-on pond with the drainage that leads to that pond that feeds into the creek so I think that you know that's that's an egregious or mistaken identification of the wetlands and so I think this more careful analysis is really important it was done much much more accurately and I agree with it the water flow data yes indeed wetlands change over time the last 20 years in fact it's never gone dry so that USGS map needs to be revised and thank you for that effort to get it changed it is again it's not never dry and finally in terms of consistency yes indeed consistency would be to say this is perennial just as much as it would be to say it was intermittent for this property because as you've heard Gabor Lukacz across the stream on the very other side of this from the property had a ruling of perennial for this same stretch of stream so I think all of those points you've already addressed in in your vote my question now is what just happened I'm confused by this movement to not actually act on this very diligent and hard you know effort that led to this particular a lot of work by Aaron and the commission and we were here every week I know that that mr. Marcus was not here at the last meeting when we were first supposed to discuss this so what just happened and what's the consequences of the decision you're making right now to not I'm assuming act on this finding let me hear what I just want to stop there and hear what hear what the answer is thank you yeah thanks for those comments yeah so we are acting on it so I mean what what we just voted as a commission that we were accepting the finding of fact prepared by town staff we believe we're following the regulations as outlined and by the DEP and so we're figuring out how to move forward so we've said as a commission that we agree with the finding of fact we accept the finding of fact the tanbrook is perennial and so then the question becomes where do we go with this resource area delineation application because the plan submitted don't designate don't yeah if they don't delineate all the resources we believe are on this or we know are on the site so we're figuring out how to move move forward with that mr. Marcus now is is charged with reapplying the applicant has to reapply based on this new finding that's what it sounds like well so he can either read add the additional delineation necessary because we have said that we think tanbrook is perennial and we believe we're following state regulations in that designation or he as he said let's close the hearing in which case we would actually have to continue to the next meeting in order to detail exactly which resource delineations are missing from from the resource area delineation as presented but we would just close the hearing we would not be accepting the resource area delineation and they would have the opportunity to appeal to DEP and then DEP would review our finding our finding a fact in our decision and they would either uphold our decision or they and and typically when they uphold our decision they say then to the applicant you have to revise your plans and go back to the commission in which case they have to come back to us with the revised plans showing all of Emily's edits all with riverfront shown on the plan and and get get through the process again or DEP would supersede our decision if they think that procedurally something was incorrect about the way that we've gone about doing it um okay so i guess the bottom line is neighborhood vigilance is called for we will continue to be tuning in um and keep looking at your agendas i think this one was supposed to be 7 30 i'm not sure what time it is now but i i heard your discussion about that last time this has been an inordinate amount of time mr marcus and i was not looked on favorably from my part that you just did not show up at the last meeting just so you know um the applicant has not won any favor by the process here but that's not for near the hearing or there we will stay vigilant and we will look forward to the next phase of this application okay yeah and i'd like to remind that you know we're going to have comments come through me um and we want to remain respectful of everyone's roles and you know we're all doing our best to interpret state regulations to the best of our ability and in this case we disagree so we're taking the next step to try to figure it out um so thank you rolf um i believe uh maria and then edwin and we're really going to try to keep this for two minutes um please maria hi thanks um just as as another um person in the consulting industry i was very interested to listen to what was happening um just as a learning experience and i have not been following this at other meetings so i apologize if this has been answered before but in the earlier discussion of the various avenues that have been looked into talking to the town attorney talking with usgs um i didn't see any mention or rather hear any mention of talking to dp about how to interpret the wetlands protection act and and we do have circuit riders that are extremely helpful so i was just curious you know what what had already been provided by dp on the matter just as a learning thing yeah so they won't comment on it um erin do you want to do any more detail on that they won't comment as if they end up in a situation where it the decision is appealed they are going to have to make a decision and they don't want to get involved before that point because it would be a conflict of interest exactly yeah we did receive some initial very general guidance but on this specific situation they would not comment yeah that that has been my experience that they won't comment on specific situations but if they were asked you know how do you go through this and is it appropriate to do this or that um they usually will say something um so i was just curious thank you yeah thank you all right last person edwin should be able to talk hi my name is edwin genseler i'm also i live on faring street across the street from the the several of the locks in question and i want to thank the commission for all the work that they're doing on this side visits erin your work were finding a fact was remarkable i too have lived in this neighborhood and walked the property and it's very clear that the wildwood pond and the hills that you mass drain into this form bro um i just have a couple of short notes here uh really uh some of it has to do with procedures and uh voices and i sort of feel like the neighborhood of butters uh have their have um well we're not visible we don't know who was there maybe the commission can see how many are there certainly um gen can see uh but that's been a problem of communication on our side that mickey is there and present and uh can even i'm not even sure what he said there he wants to close the hearing is he allowed to even make that motion or is that a motion what what i'm not sure what he's so somebody could clarify that for me and then what the repercussions of a closed hearing mean um we're also not getting many of these documents i realize you're not getting them until the day up but we're not getting them at all so we can't look at mickey's revisions we can't look at uh uh some of the new data that's being consulted or at least it comes out after the meeting after the discussion so if any of these things and then lastly uh erin mentioned that there were two groups from umass doing a study or consulting would it be possible to share that with the butters as well so i'll stop there thank you okay thanks edwin i think um erin has a comment or a response i cannot also take a crack at it erin do you want to explain what closing this hearing means again in this context and then also can you let edwin and other um participants know where they can find all this documentation yes so closing the hearing means that we're done taking public comment taking comments from the applicant taking comments from a butters what it means is that basically the hearing is closed and then all that's left to do is actually issue the order and issuance of the order would basically be the decision of the commission um just the commission members and the commission members alone and um staff would make recommendations and then they would issue based on that um again at this point because of where we are um i sorry isolate um i'll just stop there but the permit would be issued at the next meeting and it would it would basically be the commission's decision on the on the delineation um as far as the that word we would not be accepting the delineation because it's missing resource areas in our view correct correct and then documents are on the town website if you go to the conservation commission page and current applications and we i upload them almost instantaneously when i received them i didn't wasn't able to upload mickey's items from this afternoon because i was doing site visits before the end of the day but um but yes and i can send you a link to those as well um edwin i think i have your email address or edwin if you can just email erin tonight or in the morning she can follow up with a link to exactly where all these documents are um they're all publicly available um all right i think so we've now spent i over 45 minutes on this hearing i think unfortunately we're going to have to move on um i appreciate everyone tuning in repeatedly for this hearing um and basically we will be continuing it until the next meeting sorry go ahead erin because well are we continuing it because no work he has to order at the next meeting okay right i mean if that's what mickey wants us to do i i think at this point um the commissions made the decisions look at the plans evaluate the changes that were made we added additional wetlands based on emily's comments so i think it would be reasonable at this point to cite wetlands that you agree with if you you know choose to call this stream perennial then there are bank flags and they'd be a 200 foot buffer from that so i just want to be clear are you're asking us to close the public hearing just i want to make sure okay okay so we just need a motion to close the public hearing for 52 faring street i move we close the public hearing for 52 faring street so i can like it got loroy on that one all right voice vote onna hi fletcher hi michelle hi hi lora hi larry larry you're muted i forgot to unmute hi all right there we go and i'm an i'm an i okay thank you larry thank you mickey um so where are we what are we for our next hearing our next hearing we're moving on to our next hearing that's all i have to do 246 mod of you 246 i jump in really quickly uh one of the people had asked how many folks were in the attendance and it's just there were there are 28 attendees for that that component and like 78 prior to that just i don't know if people were interested but that was asked and i wanted to just note that's a good point i forgot to address that i don't know why it i mean this is just the platform that we're dealing with i don't know that there's anything purposeful about not allowing participants to see other i just tell the number when yeah i'll send a link to our to our meetings as well because it's in it's in the meeting record the attendees um and all they have to do is click on the youtube video that's uploaded but um i think there's been some difficulty locating that so i'll send him a link to it so that he okay thank you if they're if they're if they're on zoom can't they just look at the bottom and see the participants i don't think they can yeah just us they're not panelists yeah yeah all right um okay last one um this is also a continuation this is an anrad swca for barry roberts and stanley mitcher life estate for confirmation of resource area boundaries at 246 monagu road um i'm realizing now that this is mickey is mickey is also representing 246 um i would i would ask that the board request the applicant to do a continuation on this to the next meeting because we only got materials at 4 30 this afternoon and i have not even opened the email yet and it's not really fair for us to um comment on something that came in so late sorry mickey i like moved you to panelist and then back back apologies i am getting tired um so welcome back uh i i don't just agree with whatever and said if i have two minutes just to show you what i submitted if we can continue it sure great okay may i share my screen jam sure yeah go ahead um so um if you can see this plan there's actually two sheets and this is a complicated site and that there's a lot of farmed wetlands and floodplain uh and emily i think the biggest thing is and emily suggested that uh we include the entire hundred-year floodplain as pvw um and honestly i can't dispute that because it would just take a long time to figure out the hydrology and let the farm fields grow for one or more years i i don't know what the development plans are i haven't seen any plans for this property but they're not going to work in the floodplain anyway so the yellow line and the stippled yellow dots show the additional wetlands that were added so we basically are agreeing with emily we'll just call the the hundred-year floodplain bdw i added a note on farmed wetlands um only because there are three fields in the floodplain that are currently in agriculture they're either in hay or but are not squash or other production and the farming characteristics of the site are very important to the neighbors um the mitchells want to continue to farm the site um they want to see uh agricultural use so with whatever development goes on there the agricultural piece will continue whether or not it's in wetlands and i just wanted to make that clear that um those are existing site conditions um the um see the other plan uh we this very upper right hand corner we added uh an additional wetland that emily pointed out was mostly off site but it creeped onto the site uh we extended the wetlands a little bit here and you can see this lower area the steeline extended a couple of little flag changes uh and then on the southern part of the site there's uh eastland brook is was within 200 feet of the property boundary so we added the riverfront this southern part of the site so we made a couple of changes um to reflect those comments and i don't expect you to make any decisions on this tonight um but they do want to uh maintain the fields i was out there two days ago they didn't mow they didn't plow they left the flags in place so if you do want to look at it um the mitchells would appreciate if you looked at it sooner rather than later so just to comment on that we have a peer reviewer who who looked at the site and wants to go out because there was a bunch of reflagging that was supposed to be done after her site visit and she wanted to go out and confirm the boundaries and there's there's money in the budget for her to go out and confirm those boundaries so my recommendation would be that we line that site visit up with emily immediately so she can get out there and have a look at that flagging and get us a report back on it so that we um can move forward and that the mowing doesn't happen before that because that would really be a problem yeah and this plan was sent to emily as well okay great so sounds like we're we need to get out we need emily to get out there for a site visit and maybe we could be included in that error if necessary um but we need to get emily's final report before we can move forward um and reviewing this application so thank you mickey for that overview thank you erin for tracking this and keeping us all moving um i think we're looking for a motion to continue and i can read the motion if you guys want it's um we need a motion to continue the public hearing for 246 monagu road to november 10th 2021 at 745 i'll make that

How KFC became FCK to Say Sorry in The U.K And Ireland.
|
Few things in life feel better than a perfectly timed obscenity.
And luckily for KFC U.K. and Ireland, the brand found exactly that. When the chain faced widespread store closures due to a severe and unexpected chicken shortage, it had all the makings of a PR disaster—the kind some brands never truly recover from.
The marketing team and its agency, Mother London, knew they had to respond. But how? What message would come off as both sincere and on-brand for a chain known for not taking itself too seriously?
The answer came in three letters:
FCK.

It is a humiliating sight for one of the country's biggest food brands. Hundreds of Kentucky fried chicken restaurants across the UK were forced to shut down over the weekend. My first reaction in all honesty was, you want me to write fuck on a bucket? We knew that it was very serious. So by that moment, when we locked ourselves in the room, to coming up with it was literally 24 hours. We've tweaked the copy a bit, but have a look again. And my second reaction was, seriously, you want me to turn my brand into a swear word? We put it under the nose of one of our lawyers, and she just instantly smiled. And we just knew people were going to smile at this. We know this guy so well now, and we knew that the last thing that we want to do at that moment is to put out a very robotic corporate message. I'm in the firm belief that they would have preferred to do nothing, than to put something that is uncharacteristic. And we've seen so many of those bad ads. In my humble opinion, they make the situation worse. And luckily for us again, the British have such a knack for a sense of humor. They love to make light of situations. They use swear in a very sophisticated way. What we needed at that time was something that showed, vulnerably, I guess, us as humans, and showed the humanity that sits within the brand. You know, I guess I articulate it as we are extraordinarily lucky, I think, as marketers working in KFC and in YUM, that YUM believe that if you want the best work, and you want the best talent creating the best work, you need the teams that are on the ground, that are close to the customer, close to the cultural context, empowered and autonomous to make the right decisions for their market. And so that's what you do get around the world, which is local teams making brand decisions and advertising decisions and communications decisions that are right for their customers and their markets. But in times of crisis, maybe it's a good idea to call your agencies as well as your lawyers.

Do I have to record it also? Yeah, I don't know if you're recording, I'm recording. Yeah, I'm recording too, I'm recording too. Okay, so that makes two of us. Okay. The recording duo. Yeah. First of all, I would like to say thank you again, Professor Bagning, for your time. Thank you for having me. I really do appreciate. Please call me Sam throughout this conversation. Thank you. Thank you very kind. I really do appreciate you agreed to do this interview. I would also like to apologize from the beginning because I'm not very fluent in English. As you said before, I will try my best. Your English is far better than my Spanish. Well, thank you. And well, this video will be uploaded in both channels, in yours and in mine. So for all of you who follow me. This interview will be in English, but I will put subtitles down below. And well, again, it's such an honor to have you with us, Professor. Thank you for having me. Sam Bagning. I have heard some of your interviews and I think you have very powerful thoughts. Thank you. And first of all, I'm going to do a short introduction for the people who follow me that maybe don't know you. I think that's. There are many people who don't know me. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking the same, but just in case. Professor Bagning is a former psychology professor. He also has a PhD in physics. He has written many books, one of them called Malignan self love narcissism revisited. He has been diagnosed twice with MBD and he has a very successful YouTube channel where he explains many theories and research about narcissism. In general. So. Professor Bagning. My first question is. What is narcissistic abuse? Can you describe it? Yes. Narcissistic abuse abuse is a phrase that I coined in the late 80s. And I felt the need to come up with a new phrase. Because they have the abuse. Has preceded the 1980s. People have been have been abused since the dawn of humanity. And I felt the need to coin a new phrase to describe this particular type of abuse because narcissistic abuse is unlike any other type of abuse. All other types of abuse. And there are many. All other types of abuse are goal oriented. Financial abuse is intended to obtain money. Legal abuse is intended to obtain a favorable verdict in a court. Verbal abuse is intended to humiliate and shame and demean someone. Degrade someone. Physical abuse is intended to express. Uncontrolled anger. Maybe to cause physical damage. Sexual abuse is intended to gratify certain needs, including sex sexual need, but not only. For example, the need for power. But all these types of abuse. Have to do with a specific goal. The goal could be a psychological goal. Could be an objective goal like money or fame or access or power. But it's always about a goal. Narcissistic abuse is not about the target of the abuse. Narcissistic abuse has to do with the narcissist. Narcissistic abuse has to do with the narcissist. Not with the target of the abuse. Narcissistic abuse is the narcissist way. To gain control over a specific target could be an intimate partner could be a friend could be a colleague colleague or worker. To gain control in order to convert the target into a source of narcissistic supply within a shared fantasy. So it's about fulfilling the narcissist needs where the target is incidental. The target is not chosen. The target is not special. The target is not unique in any way. The target doesn't fulfill a job description. The target just happens to be there in the vast majority of cases. Simply happens to be there. Narcissistic abuse is an attempt to eliminate the target psychologically to take away the target's independence or personal autonomy, agency, ability to act, self-efficacy, friends, family, social network to take away everything from the target. And to render the target totally dependent upon the narcissist and available to participate with the narcissist in a kind of cult based on fantasy. And that is known in psychology as the shared fantasy. So it's unique. It's unique in the sense that the aim is not to take something from the target, but to eliminate, to negate, to destroy the target, to vitiate the target completely. It is therefore the equivalent of a nuclear war, a total war, compared to conventional war or compared to act of terrorism. Narcissistic abuse is the nuclear version of abuse. Very well described. I completely agree with you and you put the words perfectly in that definition. From your point of view, a narcissist can suffer from narcissistic abuse. Can narcissists suffer from narcissistic abuse? Can narcissists be abused narcissistically? Abused, yeah, a victim as well. Narcissists start off as a victim. The etiology of narcissism has to do with early childhood abuse and trauma. Now there is no proof. There are no serious studies that show that narcissism has a genetic component like borderline. There are no studies that show that narcissists have brain abnormalities like the psychopath. So it seems that the main etiology of narcissism is childhood abuse and trauma. Now there are many forms of abuse and trauma. You can abuse the child physically, you can abuse the child sexually and verbally and psychologically. These are the classical forms of abuse. But if you spoil the child, if you pamper the child, if you instrumentalize the child, if you use the child as an instrument to realize your own dreams and wishes. If you parentify the child, if you force the child to act as your own parent. All these are forms of abuse. When you spoil the child, you isolate the child from reality and from peers. You don't allow the child to get feedback. Reality is the main engine of growth. Reality is what drives us forward in a path of self-development. If you isolate the child, if you don't allow the child to suffer the consequences of his or her actions. If you don't allow the child to interact with peers because you're overprotective. If you keep telling the child that he's the greatest and can do no wrong and it never makes mistakes and so on. You're preventing the child from growing up and you're not allowing the child to separate from you as a parent and to become an individual. A process known as separation individuation. So abuse is any situation where the parent prevents the child from becoming a separate individual and the parent penetrates, breaches the boundaries of the child in any possible way. Physical, psychological, denying the child agency and autonomy and independence, isolating the child instrumental. In all these ways, the child is not allowed to form or to defend boundaries. So there are numerous ways to abuse and almost all narcissists have been abused as children. So they start off as victims. They start off as victims. Only then they make a choice. They say, I'm not going to be a victim anymore. I'm going to be the victimizer. I'm not going to be abused. I'm going to be the abuser. And because these are children, when they make these decisions, they're children, usually between the ages of 18 months and 36 months. So these children regard mother and father as godlike. These are godlike figures. They are infallible. They make no mistakes. They're all powerful. They're all knowing. So when the child says, I'm going to become my abuser, the child is actually saying, I'm going to become as godlike as my mother. I'm going to become as all powerful as my father, as omnipotent, as omniscient. So the child creates a false self. The false self is everything the child is not. The child is powerless and helpless. The false self is all powerful. The child cannot predict the behavior of the adults around the child because they are in their own way disturbed. They're problematic. But the force said knows everything is all knowing omniscient. So false self can can predict the behavior of adults. The child is less than perfect. The messages, the signaling from the child's parental figures, mainly the mother at the beginning. The signaling is you're a bad object. You're unworthy. You're imperfect. You're a failure. You don't perform as I expect you to. You're unlovable. You don't deserve to be loved. These are the messages. And the false self is exactly the opposite. The false self is you're perfect. You're Godlike. You're brilliant. You never make mistakes and so on and so forth. So the false self is what we call a compensatory mechanism. It's intended to compensate for the child's real circumstances and experiences. And here we have a strange situation. The narcissist starts off as a victim and then chooses to become an abuser. But because the narcissist starts off as a victim, he has intimate knowledge of the psychology of the victim. So the narcissist has been through it. Sorry. He has been there. He's been there. He's done that. So the narcissist has the capacity to infiltrate the defenses of the victim. And to convert her into his shared fantasy because the narcissist has been a victim. He knows all the vulnerabilities and the soft sports and the hot buttons of the victim because he used to be a victim. And then he is able to victimize his targets much more efficiently than typical abusers. Now, the vast majority of abusers are not narcissists. They don't even suffer any mental health problem. The vast majority of abusers are not diagnosed with any mental health issue. They are just power hungry. They play with power. They are power players and so on. But a small percentage has personality disorders or other types of mental health issues, mood disorders and so on. And the narcissist is uniquely qualified by virtue of having been a narcissist, a victim. So this is the power of the narcissist. He resonates with the victim. There is resonance and we call it trauma bonding because the victim is very self-destructive in the majority of cases. And the narcissist resonates with this self-destruction in a way that creates bonding. Trauma bonding is a form of self-harm. It's like cutting in borderline. It's a form of self-harm. And the narcissist comes to the victim and says, I'm going to be your mother. I'm going to love you as a mother does. I'm going to idealize you the same way a mother idealizes her baby. All I need you to do is to give up on your autonomy, to let go of your independence, to give in to me, to allow me to be your mother with all the authority and the power that a mother has. So the narcissist regresses his victim, infantilizes the victim, causes her to become an infant again and offers her motherhood by idealizing her and by loving her apparently unconditionally at the beginning of the relationship during the love-bombing phase. But at the same time, the narcissist insists that the victim should act as his mother. He wants the victim to become a maternal figure because he has unresolved conflicts with his original mother and he wants to resolve them through the relationship with his victim. So it's extremely complicated. It's not as simple as the narcissist is a bad guy, the victim is a good guy. It's much more complex than this. Much more complex. Yeah, that explanation is much more deeper than we used to find online or many self-help books that we find nowadays in the market. So I appreciate your opinion on that subject. My second, well, third question is, in your opinion, what are the biggest misconceptions of narcissism nowadays? I don't know if I don't know where... I don't know where to start because I would say that about 90% of the so-called information online is misinformation. I simply don't know where to start. Let's take two issues, gaslighting and future faking. Gaslighting is a situation where you are made, someone coerces you or forces you to distrust your own perception of reality. So you begin to doubt, ask yourself whether you're crazy. You begin to ask yourself, am I crazy? Am I misperceiving what's happening? Did I really get it wrong? Is this memory false? You know, you begin to doubt yourself. Now everyone online, all these self-styled experts, they say that narcissists gaslight. Narcissists don't gaslight. In order to gaslight, you need to be able to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. And gaslighting is premeditated. It's intentional. It's a control and manipulation strategy. It's Machiavellian. Narcissists believe their own lies. They believe their own confabulations. Narcissism is a fantasy defense. They cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality. When the narcissist tells you, you are amazing, you're hyper-intelligent, you're drop dead, gorgeous. I've never had anyone like you and I'm going to marry you and have three kids with you and we're going to live happily ever after. It's not because he's manipulating. It's because he believes this. He's not future-faking. He believes his own intentions and promises, however fantastic they may be. Then counterfactual. Because narcissists have what we call impaired reality testing. They're unable to perceive reality correctly. That's why narcissists are grandiose. Because they don't perceive reality correctly. They think they're the greatest. The most amazing, geniuses, brilliant, drop dead, gorgeous, whatever. Because they don't perceive reality correctly. If you don't perceive reality correctly, you cannot gaslight. Because to gaslight means you know what is reality and you make other people doubt it. And psychopaths gaslight, not narcissists. That's point number one. And by the way, just to refer to the clinical literature. In clinical literature, gaslighting requires an asymmetry of power. So you cannot gaslight if you're equal. You can gaslight only if you have some advantage of some kind. You're a therapist, you're a teacher, you're a boss, you're a famous figure, celebrity. Then you can gaslight. In clinical literature, not online. There's a lot of narcissism. So I gave you two examples of future faking. Narcissists never future fake. They believe their own nonsense, their own promises. And gaslighting, which narcissists never do because they themselves don't know what is reality. And if you go online, you get the exact opposite information. Another very common nonsense, piece of nonsense, is that narcissists are not self-aware. Narcissists are actually very self-aware. They are perfectly aware of their actions. They are absolutely aware of some of the impacts that their actions have. The narcissists are not self-aware, they are not aware of their own motivations and psychodynamics. But who is? Very few people are. Yeah, exactly, yeah. So I would say, yes, if you talk to a narcissist, they're going to tell you, I'm a very tough guy. I insult people because I speak my mind. What they do, they glorify, they glamorize their misbehavior. They misbehave and they say, yes, I'm misbehaving, but it's not misbehavior. It's the way everyone should behave. I'm the only one who's behaving properly. For example, I am brutally honest. I'm hurting people. My honesty is hurting people, you know? But that's the way everyone should be. Everyone should be brutally honest. Even if it hurts people, it's okay. And so they justify their own misbehavior. But they are fully aware. It's not true that they are not. So I gave you three examples, but I can give you another 20. I mean, it's a serious problem to misinformation about. Very serious. Yeah, yeah. I like that you said about, explain the thing about awareness in narcissism, because that was another question I wanted to ask you and you answered perfectly. When I kind of prepared the interview, I don't know. I thought maybe he's aware, just as you said, he or she is aware of their behavior, but who is aware, properly aware of the motivations behind that. It's common to not be aware. Another problem is that victims, many victims, defend against the pain and against the hurt. Because victims perceive what has happened to them as a kind of accident. So they reject, they reject personal responsibility. They say it's not my fault. I've done nothing to deserve this. I did not contribute anything to this. None of my actions should have led to this. Whatever has happened is because I, you know, I was targeted, became a target. And so the first problem that happens with victims is that they perpetuate their victimhood. Their victimhood becomes an identity. They become professional victims. It's an identity. Because when you're a victim, you're entitled to special treatment. You get attention. You can even make money. And many of them do make money. That's point number one. Problem number one that you spend the rest of your life perpetuating your victimhood because victimhood in today's world, victimhood pays. We have victimhood movements, you know. Victimhood is organizing principle of modern life. The second problem is victims tell themselves that they're special. That they're unique. That they've been chosen. So there is this idiotic movement of, of so-called empaths. And actually there's no such clinical entity, of course. So they self-aggrandize. They say the narcissist chose me because my empathy is amazing and super, super sensitive. Or he chose me because I'm a kind person and very, very helpful. Or he chose me because of my love. He felt that my love can fix him or heal him and so on so forth. These claims have nothing to do with reality. The narcissist chooses his partners. And this could be a friend. It would be an intimate partner. It would be the narcissist chooses people. Not because of who they are. Not because of who they are, but because of what they can give him. Narcissists are looking for basically four things and I call them the four S's. Sex, supply, could be narcissistic supply, could be sadistic supply. Safety, because narcissists have abundant anxiety like borderlines, separation and security. So safety and services, all kinds of services. So if you give the narcissist two out of these four, you qualify to be a partner. If you give the narcissist sex and services, you can be a partner. If you give the narcissist supply and sex, you can be a partner. If you give the narcissist safety and services, you can be a partner. And who you are is not relevant because narcissists, for example, cannot identify empathy in other people. They have never experienced empathy. So they don't know that even if you are empathic, they wouldn't realize it. And if you are nice and kind, they perceive it as a weakness. They perceive this as a weakness. They would hold you in contempt. It will not attract them to you on the very contrary. It will push them away because you're contemptible. And if you are helpful and useful, the narcissist sometimes would be aggressive. Because if you offer the narcissist advice, it means that you think the narcissist is stupid. And if you offer the narcissist help, it means that you think that the narcissist is not Godlike, is not all powerful. He needs help. So sometimes offering advice and help is met with aggression. The narcissist reacts to this aggressively. The victims are deluding themselves into thinking that the narcissist has chosen them because of some traits, some personality parameters, none of this. They happen to be there and they were willing and able to provide the four S's or at least two of the four S's. They were willing to provide sex. The narcissist took it. They're willing to serve the narcissist. Allowed them. They were willing to supply the narcissist. Of course, the narcissist encouraged this. And all of this was done within a fantasy, a fantasy of love, a fantasy of a relationship. And most victims cannot let go of this fantasy. They're grieving the fantasy. They're grieving the fantasy. They're grieving themselves in the fantasy because the narcissist idealizes the victim. And then the victim sees herself through the narcissist's eyes. She sees her idealized self through the narcissist's gaze and she falls in love with herself. It is self infatuation. The narcissist allows the victim to interact with her idealized version. With her image of herself in his eyes. And she finds this addictive. She is, she cannot let go of this. There are many addictive elements in the shared fantasy. And this creates, of course, bonding. And it's very difficult for the victims to let go and to make sense of what happened. They need to tell themselves that they're special. It's a narcissistic defense, ironically. The victims, the victims become grandiose. Yeah. So in that point, maybe what is narcissistic abuse can create more narcissists? Maybe not in the other age because obviously we don't treat, we don't create personality disorders at 30 years old, for example. But it creates some kind of narcissism in their victims. Is that correct? It creates narcissistic defenses. It doesn't create, it triggers narcissistic defenses. Yeah, defenses. And it induces narcissistic behaviors. And this is what Lenz Perry called narcissistic style. So narcissism is infectious. You're right. Personality disorders cannot emerge after a certain age. There's a debate. What's the age? Because, for example, Twenge and Campbell and other scholars, they say that up to 25 can happen up to 25. Others say 18, even the great Kernberg, 18. But whatever the case may be, definitely when you're 40, you cannot acquire narcissistic personalities. This is not COVID-19. But what could happen is that you could adopt a style, the style of the narcissist. You could become a lot less empathic. And we know, for example, the traumatized people are less empathic. And today we know that borderlines are less empathic than we thought. So this has been amended in the text revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Edition 5, that borderlines are less empathic than we thought because they're traumatized. So trauma yields this empathy, reduces empathy. So you'll be less empathic. You will be a lot more aggressive. You will be a lot more defensive. You will be probably abusing reactively. You will be likely to be abusing. You are likely to be grandiose. Try in an attempt to make sense of what has happened to you. You are likely to somehow create a narrative which renders you somehow special. So there are grandiose, this grandiosity and so on. Luckily, all these are transient phenomena. The unfortunate thing is, if you're exposed to the online environment, to YouTube and so on and so forth, all these behaviors and traits and your own victimhood take much longer to resolve than had you not been exposed. People think that if they go online and they talk to other people who have had the same experiences, that there is a healing process. Actually studies show that it is exactly the opposite. It perpetuates the trauma. Today we know, for example, that the worst thing you can do after trauma is to discuss the trauma with the victim, to debrief the victim. It's the worst thing you can do. We have studies that show that venting, complaining constantly about what has happened to you, doesn't allow you to heal. So exposure to online environment actually prolongs the trauma and perpetuates the abuse. There is no positive aspect in anything, not one positive aspect in anything that's happening online. So today millions of victims suffer unnecessarily. What should have lasted one year of brief, three years of trauma, now can take 20s. I know people who are 20 and 30 years online, stuck, absolutely stuck in the phase of the breaker. Well, that's very interesting because do you think as PTSD, how do you say PTSD? It can be complex, it can be related with that. And how do you say, be online and consuming all this content about narcissism can even get worse. The CPTSD can even get worse. It's a form of re-traumatization. You're re-traumatized. We used to think that if someone had a trauma, the first thing you need to do is talk to them about the trauma, discuss the trauma. Allow them to relive the trauma, to re-experience the trauma in a safe environment, the clinical setting, the therapy. But today, absolutely we know, and these are the new guidelines, that the worst thing you can do is discuss the trauma. You should absolutely not discuss the trauma. Initially, of course, much later, years later, you should discuss the trauma, but not immediately. And what is happening online is exactly this. It's a form of debriefing. There is something called trauma dumping. Trauma dumping is when many traumatized people come together and they share their traumatic experiences. That's not helpful. It appears to be helpful because it tends to validate your experiences. You say, I'm not alone and I'm not crazy. I'm not alone and I'm not crazy. So you think you're misled. You think, oh, that's part of healing. Realizing that I'm not alone and I'm not crazy is part of healing. No, it's not actually. This is not the point of healing. This has to do with something else known as reframing. So this is a CBT technique. Never mind. It's reframing. It's not healing. To heal from narcissistic abuse, the focus should be on yourself and on the voices, the introjects, the voices that the narcissist implanted in your mind. What the narcissist does to you, using a technique known as entraining, the narcissist exposes you essentially to brainwashing, essentially. Now, none of this is intentional, unlike the psychopath. It's just what the narcissist does. The same way a tiger devours an antelope. The tiger doesn't sit and said, let me look at Wikipedia if I should devour antelopes. He just devours antelopes. A virus penetrates the cell, replicates itself and infects other people because it's a virus. Not because the virus read a textbook or consulted with Anthony Fauci. It's a virus. It's the same with the narcissist. The narcissist does whatever he does reflexively, instinctually. It's nothing to do with premeditation or planning. That's a psychopath. So the narcissist entrains you. He brainwashes you. In clinical terms, what the narcissist does, he generates because he regresses you to infancy. He brings you back to infancy. He is able to replicate a process in an infancy known as introjection. Introjection, internalization, identification, incorporation. It's a four-stage process. The narcissist replicates this. And he introjects himself into your mind and he leaves a trace. He leaves a voice inside your mind. Even when the narcissist is gone physically, no longer there. His voice is active here. And his voice in your mind pollutes and collaborates with similar voices in your mind. So if you had a mother who kept telling you that you're a failure and a loser and ugly and stupid and so on. The voice of the narcissist will find out the voice of your mother and will collaborate with it. Will amplify, will enhance it, will create a coalition, a constellation of introjection, a construct inside your mind. To heal from narcissistic abuse, you need to focus on this. You need to eliminate the narcissist from your physical environment. And then you need to eliminate the narcissist in your mind. And if you're exposed to other people, they actually amplify the voice of the narcissist in your mind because they themselves keep raising the topic of the narcissist. They keep discussing the narcissist. They demonize the narcissist. They mythologize the narcissist. They make the narcissist sound as some semi-good or all powerful entity, dark entity that is, you know, and sometimes they say this. They say it's a demon or it's a devil. This is not healthy environment. Absolutely not healthy environment. Unfortunately, not healthy. And very unscrupulous and immoral con artists and charlatans, many of them with academic degrees. Use this environment to make a lot of money and perpetuate the victimhood on purpose. You could see how they make sure that you continue to be a victim, never recover. I can see that because I know what they're doing. These are people with degrees. There are many others who are just, you know, ex-victims. They want to make some money or they want to be famous. So there are many, none of these people is holy. None of them is truly healing. I mean, it's a really bad scene out there. I'm talking about the English speaking. I have no access to other languages. I know other languages, but I watch only English speaking videos. Well, yeah, in Spanish, I think it's the same, almost the same. So, yeah, well, I talk about narcissism, but I don't consider myself a con artist. So, you know, I'm making fraud or something. I try to reflectionate and talk about it, but not to keep people in victimhood. But anyway, that's another debate. And that's very interesting as well. Well, from your point of view, what is the common trait that has every type of narcissist? If you had to choose one, what will it be? I'm not going to give you the common answer, the common answer and an accurate answer. Is that all types of narcissists and quite a few types, subtypes, all types of narcissists have called empathy. What I, what the phrase that I coined is called empathy. It's cognitive empathy plus reflexive empathy without emotional empathy. So they are able to read other people. They're able to understand other people. They're able to spot weak points, vulnerabilities and so on and so forth, but they don't react emotionally to this. So, narcissists would see you crying and the narcissists would say, cognitively would say, this person is crying. That means that this person is sad. There's like a table, big table. This person crying means he's sad, but then the narcissist would not feel sad for you. The narcissist would say, maybe because right now this person is sad and broken and vulnerable. Maybe I can use this somehow. Maybe I could make this person my source of supply or partner in a shared family. And the psychopath would look at you and say, this person is crying. This person is sad and I can have sex with him because now she, her defenses are down. I can have sex with him. So now the psychopath is goal oriented. But that would not be my answer, although it's perfectly accurate. All narcissists don't have called empathy, not the full-fledged emotional component. My answer would be different. And I've spent 30 years starting this topic and I myself am a narcissist, but usually I think a bit of an advantage, a bit of an edge. There are other self-aware narcissists online. I was the first in 1995. So now there's a new generation of self-aware narcissists online, but they don't have the academic background. They don't have the knowledge and the training. So they're missing that part. I think I'm the only one who is self-aware and also teaches psychology. Yeah, I also think the same. Maybe there's another person that I'm not aware of, someone else who is like that. And this gives me a bit of an advantage. So I would say that, and of course I've worked with well over 2,200 narcissists in the last 30 years. I have a huge database and so on. So I think what is common to all narcissists is the inability to perceive other people as external and separate. They don't have the conception of externality and separateness. And this is because narcissists are incapable of interacting with external objects. What they do, they convert everyone immediately. For a second, they convert into an internal object. And then they continue to interact with internal object. And why is that? Because narcissists were never allowed to separate and individuate from the mother. They have no experience of being separate from another human being. They've always been enmeshed, melded, merged, fused. It used to be called, we used to call this in clinical literature, the symbiotic phase, symbiosis. So the narcissist and the mother remain a unit to the day the narcissist dies. And because the narcissist has never had the experience of separating and becoming an individual, he cannot understand the separateness and individuality and externality of another person. And I think this is what is common. Because of that, the narcissist doesn't have empathy. Empathy is a secondary effect, not a cause. The cause is, if I cannot see you as external and separate to me, how can I ever empathize with you? Empathy is excluded. How can I understand your autonomy? You're an autonomous person and different. How can I accept that you have emotions and your own emotions? Your emotions are not my emotions. If you do have emotions, they're mine, because you are an internal object in my mind. Everything that's happening to you, your cognitions, your emotions, your wishes, your dreams, you find everything in their mind. I realize that you are an internal object inside my mind and there are other objects. I do realize that you are separate from other internal objects in my mind. So you are like a character in a video game. How can I empathize? Does anyone empathize with a character in a video game when they shoot them and kill them? No one does it. No one empathizes with it. Oh my God, the poor character. I just shot him. No one does it. Yeah, I understand that. Very interesting topic. Well, do you think there is a sort of political correctness against talking about narcissistic abuse? For example, the use of labels, putting at the same level what the abusive does and the victim does, etc. First of all, we should realize that narcissistic personality disorder is a diagnosis that is acceptable only in the United States and China. The rest of the world does not accept this diagnosis. The 11th edition of the ICD. The ICD is a book published by the World Health Organization. The ICD is International Classification of Disease. The 11th edition, published in 2022, doesn't have narcissistic personality disorder. It has a single personality disorder with various traits. So in this single personality disorder, there is a trait called dissociality and another trait, affectionism. And so you can describe a narcissist using the ICD, but you cannot call him a narcissist because there's no such thing in the ICD. Similarly, in other countries, there's no narcissistic personality disorder. Only the DSM in the United States and the CCMD, the third edition in China. That's it. So we need to understand it at first. The second thing is, if anything, I think narcissism is the only field where political correctness is suspended. For example, you cannot talk about autistic people the way you talk about narcissists. Narcissists are totally demonized, totally hated. Hate speech against narcissists is allowed. You try to talk about borderlines the way you talk about narcissists. And let's see what happens to you. Your account will be canceled. It's not allowed. Definitely you're not allowed to talk about autistic people the way you talk about narcissists. I made a video a few weeks ago. I just made a literature review. There are new studies that show that autistic people and people with ADHD, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder. I'm explaining what is ADHD for your viewers, not for you. I know that you know. Okay, sorry. Go on. So there are new studies that people in the autism spectrum disorder and ADHD are actually a bit narcissistic and a lot psychopathic. And that they take over victimhood movements. These are new studies, interesting, fascinating. And I made a literature review. I received warnings from YouTube. Warnings that I'm violating community guidelines. But online you have videos that say how to destroy the narcissist in seven steps. How to kill the narcissist. The narcissist is a demon and so on. And no problem whatsoever. You have thousands of such really. So I think narcissism is the only exception to political grace. Moreover, narcissism is weaponized. Political opponents accuse each other that they are narcissists. People go to prison and they are described as narcissists. Their narcissistic behavior led them to prison. So it's an all out campaign against narcissists. And now recently to the best of my knowledge, I've been the first to initiate this, but I may be wrong. But in my footsteps, let's say, many people are now saying that actually many victims, self-styled victims are essentially covert narcissists. Because in the last three years, four years, there have been studies in Israel, four studies in Israel. There have been two studies in British Columbia, in Canada, and other studies that have shown that victimhood is closely associated with dark, dark personalities, dark triad. So today we're beginning to think that many victims are actually essentially subclinical narcissists, subclinical psychopaths, manipulative, they use competitive victimhood and virtual signaling to manipulate, to become entitled, to gain new rights, to force others to behave in specific ways, and so on and so forth. Only now we're beginning to talk about this. And even now, if you do this, you get an avalanche of attacks that you are victim blaming and blame shifting. And I don't know what, even now it's forbidden. The only group of people that you're allowed to do anything you want to, including incite to murder, to kill them, is narcissists. Only, literally, you can find videos inciting to murder. Yeah, in Spanish as well, there are some videos like how to destroy a narcissist and things like that. How to take revenge on a narcissist. Yeah. This would never be allowed with any other mental illness. Imagine a video saying how to destroy the life of someone with bipolar disorder. Or how to take revenge on a depressive person. Imagine. Yeah. It's shocking. Yeah. Pretty shocking. Shocking. Yeah. Narcissists are ill people. It's a disease. It's a sick people. Sometimes when I think, at least in my case, when I use the term narcissists, it's not only narcissistic personality disorder, but narcissistic personality style is different. But I know what you mean perfectly. Yeah. I wanted to ask you that, by the way. What are the difference between a person who has MPG, narcissistic personality style, or they are simply a holds. What you call a hose or jerks are actually narcissistic style. The first to describe the distinction between the disorder and the style was a guy called sparing S P E R R Y. Later on, Theodore Millen, one of the fathers of the field. Theodore Millen adopted sparing classification and taxonomy and incorporated it in his masterpiece personality disorders in modern life. And today this is common to, to realize that narcissism is a spectrum. And we start with healthy narcissists. Everyone has healthy narcissism. It's the foundation of self esteem and self confidence and so on. Healthy narcissism starts in early childhood and stays with us for life. And then we gradually progress until we reach a zone called narcissistic style. These are people who are exploitative, lack empathy, but not fully. For example, they are very empathetic with family members or loved ones and so on so forth, but they are not empathetic with employees or so on. They are divided discriminating empathy. They are usually in your face. They're defined, they're arrogant, arrogant, but very few of them are grandiose. Grandiosity is a cognitive distortion. Grandiosity is when you perceive reality wrongly. People with narcissistic style don't have this problem. They are simply arrogant, but they do perceive reality correctly. They are capable of teamwork, for example, when the narcissist is not. They are open to criticism and disagreement when the narcissist never is. They are not likely to externalize aggression where narcissists given specific situation can and does. Now people with narcissistic style, for example, are not prone to narcissistic injury and narcissistic modification. The real narcissist does, someone with NPD does, narcissistic injury is when your grandiose perception and self-image are challenged in a way that some damage has been done. So you need to repair it somehow. You can repair it by a display of narcissistic rage, thereby establishing control, asserting control over the environment, for example, by terrorizing. And another way to re-establish it is what I was the first to describe, self-supply. So you can supply yourself. You can somehow reconstruct your grandiosity by convincing yourself that they are wrong and you're right. They think you're not a genius, but you are a genius or whatever. And narcissistic modification is unique to people with NPD. It never happens in the style. It's when you are shamed or humiliated in public in front of meaningful peers or significant others. That happens only to the narcissist and it leads to a borderline like clinical personality organization. So what happens is the narcissist is mortified in public and then essentially becomes a borderline. He emotionally dysregulates, he develops suicidal ideation and so on and so forth. This never happens to someone with style. Someone with style is capable of intimacy, has identity, does have an identity. Whereas narcissists have problems in all these areas. So if I have to summarize the difference, someone with narcissistic personality disorder imports everything from the outside. Everything comes from the outside. The sense of self-worth, identity, self-esteem, everything comes from the outside. Everything is important. You could say that the narcissist outsources regulation so that other people regulate the narcissist. Someone with narcissistic personality disorder. Interpersonal functioning of the narcissist. There's no empathy and no intimacy. He's very impaled and the narcissist is antagonistic. He's grandiose and he's a compulsive attention seeker. None of this applies to someone with narcissistic style. Someone with narcissistic style regulates from the inside, not from the outside. He doesn't, for example, is not dependent on narcissistic supply, for example. He's not grandiose. He is capable of intimacy. He is capable of empathy. He does not seek attention compulsively all the way, enjoys it a lot. But he's not addicted to it. He's not a junkie of attention. Attention junkie. His identity and his self-direction are not dependent on other people. So it's really, these are two totally disparate, separate clinical entities or clinical phenomenon. NPD is not an exaggeration of the personality style. It's something completely different. And this is why it's very dangerous when online people go and say he's a narcissist. When actually this is someone with narcissistic, as you said, it's an A-hole. It's a junk. Yeah, an A-hole. Yeah. I see. Thank you for your answer. You know what? Upon reconsideration to make it simpler for your viewers, someone with narcissistic personality disorder doesn't have a self, doesn't have an ego. He is ironically selfless. There's no self there. The formation of the self was disrupted. The self was unable to constolate and integrate. So there's no core. There's an emptiness exactly like the borderline. And the second point, someone with narcissistic personality disorder has problems with attachment, attachment problems. And the narcissist is incapable of attachment because as a child, the narcissist was attached to a frustrating object to an abusive object. So he is afraid of attachment. He associates attachment with pain, with hurt, with rejection, with frustration. So he's afraid of attachment. The second problem where he cannot attach is that he cannot perceive other people as external. So what is there to attach to? So these are the two major differences. No self and no attachment. The personality style has a self and can attach. There's a major difference. Yeah, I see. I see. I see now. The next question is why when we talk about narcissism, we also have to talk about psychopathy. Because in many ways we have to get into that to explain both of the constructs, you know. Why when we have to talk about narcissism, we ended up talking about psychopathy as well. Psychopathy is more sexy. More sexy, yeah. Well, again, we have a huge confusion online. I have seen people with PhDs in psychology, but no expertise in narcissism. It's important to understand you can have a PhD in psychology and not be an expert on narcissism. Psychology is a huge field, a normal field. If you're an expert on IQ, on IQ, and you have a PhD, it doesn't mean you know anything about narcissism. But people don't realize it. They say, but she has a PhD in psychology. So I've seen these self-styled experts say that all psychopaths are narcissists. That is rank nonsense. A small minority of psychopaths also have narcissistic personality disorders. And this is known as comorbidity. However, narcissists and psychopaths share a few things in common. They have a few things in common. Number one, grandiosity. Grandiosity is one of the parameters that we use, one of the dimensions that we use to diagnose psychopathy. For example, in the PCLR test, Robert Hayes, PCLR, there's a grandiosity dimension. But grandiosity is not narcissism. It's not the same. Grandiosity is a trait or cognitive distortion that is common in narcissism, in psychopathy, but also in borderline. Also in bipolar disorder. Also in paranoid personality disorder. Sometimes in schizoid personality disorder is that psychopath and narcissists are both grandiose, doesn't make the psychopath a narcissist. The second thing that is common, that is shared, is antisocial behavior. Antisocial behavior includes defiance, recklessness, consumatiousness, rejection of authority. And sometimes acting out, externalized aggression. This is the antisocial cluster. Now, it is true that psychopaths are always antisocial. And some narcissists are also antisocial. They are known as malignant narcissists. 3% of narcissists are also psychopathic. They are malignant narcissists. But the vast majority of narcissists are not antisocial. They are actually pro-social and even communal. Why? Because the narcissist depends on other people for narcissistic supply. If you're antisocial, you don't get supply. Rarely gets supply. You end up in prison, maybe, but you don't get supply. So the narcissist strategy requires collaboration with people, somehow, some form of collaboration. And we call it pro-social behavior. The psychopath, on the other hand, doesn't depend on other people for anything. He's a loner. He's a lone wolf. He doesn't need supply. He holds people in total contempt. He regards them as objects. He objectifies them. He ignores them if they are not useful. He steps on them and kills them if necessary to obtain a goal. He has no connection to people whatsoever. So he is never pro-social. He's always antisocial. Whereas the vast majority of narcissists are exactly the opposite. They work with other people in order to extract supply. Even if it's only one person, the narcissist's intimate partner in the shared fantasy, it still requires some kind of interaction and creates some kind of dependency. Psychopath doesn't have any of this. So people confuse psychopathic narcissists, which used to be known as malignant narcissists, with psychopaths, with narcissists. Yeah, I completely agree with that. Well, my next question was, what is a malignant narcissist? But I think you have already explained. A malignant narcissist is a narcissist who, in order to obtain narcissistic supply, uses psychopathic methods of action, modes of action. So he is psychopathic when he is looking for supply. So he would be, for example, consummations. He would reject authority. But he would reject authority in a very ostentatious manner. He would reject authority in public, like some kind of performance. It would be performative rejection because he needs an audience. He would want everyone to know that he's rejecting authority because he's brave and courageous and amazing and unique. So he would be defined. He would be reckless, risk taker, novelty seeker, thrill seeker. He would be sometimes, and he would be very often aggressive. He would externalize aggression. So outwardly, phenomenologically, the malignant narcissist appears to be a psychopath. But he's doing all this to obtain supply, which makes him a narcissist. Whereas the psychopath is using the same behaviors, the same behaviors, the same methods of operation to obtain sex or money or power or access or contacts or something. The narcissist wants only supply. He doesn't care about money or about power. If the narcissist cares about money, it's because money can obtain, can get him supply. If he's rich, beautiful girls will admire him. So the narcissist regards everything as a tool, a means to obtain supply. Even if the narcissist becomes a politician, it's not because he cares about power, but because power will get him attention. The psychopath will become a politician because he wants power. The narcissist will become a politician because he wants attention, which is going to get only his power. Yeah, it's totally different. Yeah. Understood, understood. I understand that point of view. Okay, my next question is, from your point of view, how is social media influencing the narcissism of young people and not only young people, but people in general? Do you think it fosters the grandiosity and some kind of racing up in that continuum of narcissism? First of all, I think that history shows that technology follows trends, rarely creates them and follows them. So narcissism has been rising before social media. And then social media came on the scene because it caters to narcissism. It provides narcissism with tools. So narcissists wanted social media because they needed social media to be better narcissists, more effective as a tool of self-efficacy. So social media is a late development. Narcissism has been rising at least since the 1980s, at least according to studies by Twenge and Campbell and others. It's a very late development. Social media came to full blossom in 2015. It's a very late phenomenon. That's point number one. Point number two, social media legitimizes narcissism, but I don't think creates narcissism, doesn't foster narcissism. It makes it more visible and it rewards narcissism. For example, the like on Facebook is a tool to reward narcissism. Social media encourages comparison and relative positioning. How am I doing relative to someone else? I got 200 likes, you got a thousand likes. So social media drives narcissistic behaviors, narcissistic self-evaluation. Social media escalates behaviors. It's the attention economy. It's based on attention. So in order to garner attention, in order to harvest attention, you need to escalate your behavior because you have many competitors all the time. And this leads to escalation on a mass basis. Everyone is escalating. Because if you don't escalate, you will never be noticed. So it does lead to escalating behaviors. I don't think social media has created a single new narcissists. That's not the way narcissism is formed. Narcissism has to do basically with trauma, not with conditioning. Social media is based on addiction and conditioning. But social media legitimized narcissism, made it an organizing principle of life, and gave goals to narcissistic goals to people who are not narcissists in principle. And rewarded narcissism, dopamine-wise, if you wish, rewarded narcissism on a very primordial level, on a brain level. So whoever is a narcissist has no reason to not be a narcissist. So it prevents proto-social behavior modification. And whoever is not a narcissist has reason to emulate and imitate narcissists because of the reward system. And everyone, narcissists and non-narcissists, have reason to escalate in order to obtain attention or to secure attention. These are the impacts of social media. Yeah, very well put, all together. It makes a lot of sense. Well, the next question is a bit, there's a huge debate here, but I would like to know your opinion. Can narcissists change? It depends how you define change, of course. If you're talking about behavior modification, yes. Several treatment modalities, such as, for example, schema therapy, transactional analysis, to some extent CBT. CBT is less effective. They can modify the narcissist's behavior. The narcissist can become following treatment. The narcissist can become less abrasive, less antisocial if he has been antisocial. More considerate of people because the narcissist is convinced in therapy that this is more efficacious, more efficient. If you're nice to people, they do your bidding. They're better sources of supply and so on. So, yes, you can modify the narcissist's behaviors. You need to repeat this time and again because the narcissist tends to forget and relapse. It's very similar to addiction. This is exactly what happens in addiction. When you're an alcoholic, you go to rehab and after rehab, you don't drink for a few months. But the relapse rate, the relapse rate in alcoholism is between 80% and 90% within one year. 80% to 90% of alcoholics who spend time in rehab start to drink again within one year. It's identical to narcissism because narcissism is addiction to narcissistic supply. It's an addiction. Narcissism is two things. There's one thing that narcissism is not and there are two things that narcissism is. Narcissism is not a personality disorder and it is a post-traumatic condition and it is an addiction. Now, this is the worst combination. Post-trauma and addiction when you put them together, this is almost untreatable, intractable, because the addiction solves many problems which are provoked by the trauma. And so substance abuse that is post-traumatic is literally impossible to treat. You can modify behaviors in the short range and you need to repeat the treatment time and again and again and again. And that is the maximum that you can obtain with narcissism. Nothing else is touchable at all by any modality that I'm aware of. Anyone who claims online that they have treated narcissists or healed narcissists or cured narcissists are criminal con artists. Period. And I don't care if they happen to be therapists with six PhDs. They are criminal charlatan con artists. End of story. Well, thanks for your answer. Very clear. Now, my next question is, do you think is there a relationship between narcissism and gender? Does sexism or matismo, as we say in Spanish, any influence on that? Until the 1980s, 75% of people diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder were men. Even in the text of the DSM3, Edition 3, and then the text revision and then Edition 4, you still find the language that 75% of men. There has been a lot of sexism in psychiatry and psychology well into, I would say, 2010. And consequently, for example, borderline personality disorder was utterly gender biased, utterly was diagnosed overwhelmingly among women. Same with histrionic personality disorder. When we know today for sure that all these disorders, narcissistic borderline histrionic are equally represented. Men and women are equally represented. 50-50. And we, the only exception perhaps is psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder was whether there is a preponderance over representation of men. And that is maybe because psychopathy is not a mental illness. But a social choice, the choice to reject the law or to reject society or to, it's a kind of lifestyle choice. I don't believe that psychopathy is a mental illness at all. I don't see any hint of mental illness there. There is a rejection of morality, of rules, of regulations, of specific lifestyles. Psychopaths are dangerous. Psychopaths cause huge damage to society. Psychopaths should end up, many of them should end up in prison. I agree with all these. But what does any of these have to do with mental illness? I have no idea. But where there's real mental illness, the other class to be personality disorders, men and women are equal. So yes, there has been sexism, but no longer, no longer. And in the text revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Man, Edition 5, published 2022, they corrected the language. And now it says 50-75%. It's still difficult for them. 50-75% are men and women. So they reduce a bit the percentage of men. They hinted that it's equal because now you have the opposite problem. If you say anything negative about women, you're a sexist and you are, you know, so to say that women are now equally, women are narcissists, equally. That is to be misogynist. You hate women. That's why you're saying this. It's a mind field. You can't say anything without someone getting insulted and offended. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I wanted to ask you before about political correctness. I know we are talking about mental illness, personality disorders, but in my opinion, there are also personality styles that can be very tricky and hard to, difficult to live with, a person with that. And in my opinion, there is a bit of, at least in Spanish, not in English, but political correctness about saying specific things. That's why I wanted to ask you that. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right outside the English speaking world. So for example, in Europe, therapist refuses to give you a diagnosis of borderline or narcissism. It's never done. Absolutely never done. Even in the United States, a growing number of therapies and so on would never give you a diagnosis. They would never tell you, you have borderline personality disorder. It's considered stigmatizing. And I see some justification because I think the DSM is counterfactual. It's not real. First of all, it's important to understand that the DSM and the CCMD, yes, these books were under the, written under the influence of the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies. They don't reflect, absolutely, this I can say with certainty, they don't reflect current clinical knowledge, period. A lot of it is wrong. Second thing, any practitioner would tell you that the same patients, one day is a narcissist. The next day is a borderline. The third day is a psychopath. The fourth day is a paranoid and the fifth day is a schizoid. Any practitioner, I don't know, any therapist would not say this. And this is coupled with mood disorders, one day depression and one day a lot and so on. So all these distinctions, what is known as differential diagnosis, this is counterfactual. That's not how human beings work. Human beings are not ponds, they are rivers. Human beings flow. The very concept of self, the very idea of personality. They are nonsense. There's no such thing. There are no such things. These are idealizations that help us to teach in university, but no one who works with people believes that people are fixed in stone, that someone has an immutable, unchangeable core that you can call a self. No one who has worked with people would agree with the concept of personality as a set of attributes and traits that define you throughout life, life span. No one would agree with this, who has had any contact with human beings rather than with books. And there is a gap. There is a big divide between academia and practitioners, people in the field. Academia has become fantasy space, perhaps because most academics are narcissists. It's a fantasy space. I don't know what they are talking about, which alien species, but they're not talking about homo sapiens. And then there are the practitioners. Practitioners, for example, could tell you that all narcissists are sometimes overt and grandiose and sometimes covert and vulnerable and fragile and shy. All practitioners would tell you this. It's not true that a narcissist is either grandiose or covert. There is no type constancy. Similarly, all narcissists are sometimes cerebral. They derive narcissistic supply with their intellect and sometimes somatic. They derive narcissistic supply through their sex, through the body. So there's no type constancy. And similarly, in borderline, there's no type constancy. So a borderline could be aggressive, acting out, crazy making, and then she would have a period where she would not be promiscuous and she would not be reckless and she would be shy and she would be avoidant and she would be schizoid. Everyone who has worked with borderline would tell you this. You know, a borderline can sleep with, if she's a woman, she can sleep with 20 guys in one year and then she can have five years without a single sex, without a single incidental sex. So it's nonsense. Yeah, we are flow. Sorry. Mm hmm. No, sorry. Sorry to interrupt you. We are flow. We are not static. Yes. Say, yeah. Okay. My last question is how usually do narcissistic people get older? What happens to narcissists when they get older? Sorry. What happens to narcissists when they get. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How they get older. Exactly what happens here, if the narcissist is antisocial, if it's a malignant narcissist, exactly like psychopaths and exactly like borderlines, it gets better. In borderline we have spontaneous remission. 81% of people with borderline personality disorder spontaneously lose the diagnosis after age 45, even without treatment. About half of people with psychopathic personality disorder, antisocial personalities, half of psychopaths, no longer engage in psychopathic behaviors, definitely not criminal behaviors after age 45. About half. If they have been treated, the number shoots up to 75%. By age 55, the vast majority of psychopaths are totally pro-social. The overwhelming vast majority. Same applies to psychopathic narcissists. They mellow, they ameliorate, they become more normal, so to speak. And by their 50s, when they're in their 50s and 60s, there's no proof. What I'm saying is speculation based on my experience. But I think most of them lose the diagnosis completely. They're no longer narcissists. They're much softer, much kinder, much more attuned to people, much more considerate. They're not a psychopathic, of course. They're still exploitative. They still live in fantasy. They're still aggressive, but it's much more standard, much more normative. In other words, they're not anomic, but they're normative. This is not the case with classic narcissists, both overt and covert. And again, every narcissist is overt and covert, different periods. Classic narcissists, let's call them classic. They used to be called phallic narcissists. Classic narcissists get worse with age. They get worse. But there is a conundrum here. There is a riddle, a puzzle, which we cannot resolve. Most classic narcissists lose their sources of supply as they grow older. Women, if they're men, women abandon their spouses and intimate partners abandon them. It's much more difficult for them to obtain supply because they're old. They have competition from younger narcissists. It's much more difficult to obtain supply. They're exposed. Many of their tricks and gimmicks and misbehavior and misconduct is exposed, revealed. So they are mortified. They are shamed and humiliated in public. And so do they become worse narcissists? Even more narcissistic because of these problems that they cannot obtain supply. So they are collapsed in a collapsed state or because they're mortified. In short, is the aggravation in narcissism in old age reactive, circumstantial, with a response to the changing environment? Or does it come from the inside? We don't know. There's no answer to this. But we do know that all these things are described are happening. The narcissist ends life, isolated, bitter, angry, delusional. It switches from fantasy to delusional disorder, paranoid, very paranoid. So he switches from hypervigilance to paranoid ideation, schizoid on a permanent basis, depressive, develops depressive illnesses and anxiety disorders. Really bad picture. Just look at me. I wouldn't say that. Okay. So, I was, I don't know how to say in English, but thanks for your time. Thank you for that name. It has been such an honor for me, really. And for my community, I think they will be really, really thankful for your time and your, your knowledge about this topic. Thank you for having me. Thank you for your courage and patience. Well, I was a bit nervous, I have to say, but it has been a wonderful interview. And I really appreciate it. Thank you. See you again in regards to all the Spanish speakers. Even the narcissist. Even the narcissist. Thank you. Take care. Bye. Bye-bye.

Welcome to this two week IST workshop on thermodynamics in mechanical engineering. I hope all of you have enjoyed the appearing for the test today morning. I think many of you must have received a feedback of your performance. What feedback, what score you got does not include the score for the few questions. I think there was a question near the end saying something about a process and there was a question about what is an adiabatic process. So, question 10 and question 12, these will be evaluated offline by us in the few days and in fact, the purpose of this test was to impress on you the type of questions that will come up in thermodynamics. Your score is not really of much interest to us, but the feedback about your capabilities in thermodynamics is going to be important to us. As the course progresses, we will have some assignments and on the last day morning, we will have a second test, a formal second test. Format of the second test may be similar or it may be a traditional paper based test. We have not set it up yet, so we will set it up soon. Now all of you should be conversant with this timetable, so today we are going to look at introductory topics and we are going to spend at basic ideas and definitions. And all of you should also have a copy or an electronic version. If you do not have it today, get it by tomorrow. This is the document which is already on Moodle. It is known as sequence of topics and all coordinators are familiar with this document. They will already have a personal copy of this, but it is also available on the Moodle sites for this course. And we will more or less follow this scheme of topics, so this sequence of topics. The first announcement is about the schedule, I have used the word tentative and since this course is a lecture, demonstration, discussion, participation type of course, depending on how it goes there could be a bit of a change in the schedule. One thing it is more or less certain is that we would like to devote the afternoon sessions from tomorrow onwards on exercises, problem solving and discussions. Because thermodynamics is all about understanding and we will confirm our understanding by being able to confidently solve appropriate problems in thermodynamics, discuss all topics and our concepts will become clear only when we do the exercises in a proper fashion. So that is why you will notice that a very significant amount of time has been devoted to exercises. We also have a set of exercises which should also be available with you soon. And during the exercise session, although it will be more or less offline, we will be available here for any help, any discussion. The first exercise session tomorrow which is also topic 4, problem solving in thermodynamics and exercises on the work interaction will be very very interactive because we will be spending some time discussing this topic and we will have an illustrative example from the work interaction sheet to emphasize how we approach the solution of an exercise in thermodynamics. There is a procedure which we follow and I would like all of you to learn that procedure. Let me now come to the first page in the exercises and that is also our first topic in this introductory topics that is textbooks and other material. Question comes up because each and every student and although all of us are teachers, we are also lifelong students of some subject or the other, some branch or the other. So the question comes up, what is a textbook? In high school and maybe in junior college, each subject has a very formal textbook associated with it. That is not true when you come to engineering college, a subject or a paper will not be associated with a single textbook. There will be a number of textbooks generally doing justice to the subject matter at hand. If you really want a set of textbooks, here we have a set of textbooks which are sort of my favourites and taken together they will more or less be good enough for our purpose. Some of them are absolutely physics oriented with hardly any emphasis on engineering applications. Some of them are proper engineering thermodynamic textbooks. These are in alphabetical order but if you want to go in historical order then may be the book by Ziemanski, a book written by a physicist, but an excellent book at least till its fourth edition. After that perhaps it became too much physics oriented and hence not really useful to us. For the basic ideas, the basic principles of thermodynamics, Ziemanski followed by Sears and Salinger, another physics oriented book. These two are good books. Ziemanski is now I suppose out of print over the newer editions but Sears and Salinger is available in an Indian edition now and then we have a number of books written by engineers and there are three books listed here. One is by Professor Achuthan, one of my teachers of thermodynamics and published by Prentice All India. It is now in its second edition. Another one is by Sontag Borgnak and Van Weilien. This is the current edition or recent edition of the old Van Weilien's Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, good mainly for engineers and Thoreau-Bred Engineering book on thermodynamics and also applied thermodynamics is by Moran and Shapiro Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics. I am told there is a fifth edition now but I have not yet come across it. So I still have to refer to the fourth edition. Out of this if you really want to understand physics, you will have to refer to Ziemanski and Sears and Salinger. The other three books are essentially Engineering Thermodynamics with different flavors and different styles. By providing this list of books, I do not really mean that you must have access to all five of these but at least your library should have access to all five of these and as a teacher of thermodynamics if you want to have a personal copy of any book, well I would then recommend that you spend time with a few of these books particularly the one written by engineers. Browse through, use it for a few weeks for some purpose, reference, teaching and then decide which one is to your liking and then select that for your personal library. Apart from the textbooks, we will also need steam tables because as we know that there are two major working fluids that we will be coming across in thermodynamics. One is air which we will be modeling as a ideal gas and another is steam and for properties of steam we have to have access to steam tables and my favorite and reasonably complete steam table for our purpose which I have found suitable and we have found here suitable in IIT Bombay for the last may be more than 20 years is by Mathur and Mehta it is in reasonable detail provides a very large part of what we call the state space, caters to a large part of the state space and then has a reasonably detailed chart also at the end. That is some other data which may or may not be useful to us but this is something each one of you should have a personal copy because many of our exercises will assume that you have access to this and when it comes to understanding properties of what are known as pure substances or simple compressible substances, two phase gases in gas and liquid phase, we will need some illustrative tables and those illustrations will be taken by the taken using the Mathur and Mehta steam tables. Now since this is a course, the goodness of the course and the goodness of teaching is decided by evaluating the course and evaluating the course means evaluating the students. So now we come to the evaluation scheme, topic number 2, item number 2 and I am going to evaluate you, I have begun the evaluation by conducting the first stage today morning. There will be some intermediate evaluations by assignments, assignments would essentially be problems from the exercise sheets or some additional problems which will be provided through Moodle and you will have to submit them by uploading a file on Moodle. If it is a very small answer which is expected then it will be like one of those text boxes in the test today, you write it out and say click submit otherwise just the way I have uploaded some files on Moodle, each one of you will upload your own assignment document on Moodle. On the final day there will be a second test and there will also be a final assignment which you will do after the completion of the course in approximately 2 weeks time. The course is scheduled to be over on 24th, so may be something like 10 July will be the 10 July or 8 July or 24th is a Friday, so Friday after 2 weeks of 24th whatever is the date in July that will be the deadline for the final assignment and only those who submit the final assignment on schedule will receive the certificates indicating that they have completed this course. Now before we come to our discussion on thermodynamics, some more announcements and that is in our schedule we have typically 4 sessions every day 9 to 11, 1130 to 1, 2 to 330 and 4 to 530. You will notice that the first session is of 2 hours duration and the reason for that is that from tomorrow onwards in the morning when we begin at 9 and we will begin sharp at 9 within a few minutes of 9. I would like to devote some time say typically half an hour to discuss and take care of any comments, queries which come up overnight in your mind. So all participants and all coordinators are requested to prepare and ask questions, be ready with the questions, the questions can be either if they are simple straight forward questions they may be emailed to me but I am not sure how quickly and how fast I will be able to read the email. If you email them soon after say today's sessions then I may be able to see but if you email them late in the night or early tomorrow morning I may not even see them before I come to the lecture room. But be prepared with the session at 9 o'clock with any queries you have I will spend approximately half an hour taking care of those queries and then I will start with the topic, the main topic of discussion that day. Apart from that you will notice that we have 4 slots here known as E1, E2, E3 and E4. These will be used as peripheral slots, they are mandatory in some slots teachers who are planning to conduct similar courses in the near future will tell about those courses. In one slot I think on the Saturday slot Professor Fatuk is going to be here, we want to discuss things with the coordinators and participants. And of course if some additional extraneous or extra slots are needed we will create that. Again near the end of every topic or before we break if there is any feedback and if I can take care of that feedback I will try to do that. So because there are 31 centers it may be difficult for me to you know accept interrupts from each and every center but whatever is reasonably possible I will try to do. This set of lectures is not really a course on thermodynamics, it is a course on thermodynamics but for teachers of thermodynamics. So you can say this is a sort of lecture demonstration of how a course in thermodynamics is to be taught. Now I have to keep myself conscious of the fact that all the so called participants or students in front of me are teachers of thermodynamics. Most of you would have taught the subject matter in one way or the other at least once and those of you who are young or new in the profession would be ready to teach thermodynamics may be in the following semester or the semester later. So one of the first thing that comes up for discussion when we confront our students in thermodynamics is why are we learning thermodynamics, what is thermodynamics all about. And since nowadays a large number of students take up engineering many of them simply because of well peer pressure or mob mentality. Many of them may not even realize what mechanical engineering is all about, I can argue backwards and say many of them will not realize what engineering is all about but let us not go that much backwards since our name of the subject is thermodynamics in mechanical engineering. We should realize and we should make the students realize what mechanical engineering is all about and then the place of thermodynamics in mechanical engineering and then we come to the idea of what thermodynamics is about after looking at the scheme of thermodynamics, scheme of thermal engineering and scheme of mechanical engineering. So let us first try to see what mechanical engineering is about. This is something which comes up for discussion whenever we take up the subject of thermodynamics and the answer to this I think many of us should know. But I try to explain it to students and which generally is appreciated by students is that mechanical engineering is about machines, well that is easier said than explained and then we say that these machines are doing various types of things. On one side we have natural resources, fuels, wind, solar energy, minerals, water flowing, monsoon whatever and on the other side is us humans. So mechanical engineering somehow gets linked to natural resources and us humans in the following way. The machines with which we are concerned do many things and the machines are of various kinds. There are some machines which consume natural resources, we call them fuels typically and produce power or convert them into useful energy like electricity. And what is this power used for, part of this power will be used for driving such some machines and of course some machines will be used for manufacturing or producing these machines. These machines come out of nowhere, do not come out of nowhere, we need to manufacture or create or produce those machines. So there are machines, some of them may call machine tools or fabricating machines or whatever but machines which produce machines, machines which convert natural resources into power which is used to drive machines of all kinds. And machines which help create a good comfortable life for us human beings. This may not be the complete scheme of mechanical engineering but I think the essence of mechanical engineering is laid out here. What do you mean by help create a good and comfortable life for us? Well, it cools our rooms by air conditioning it. On wintery days it heats up water for us so that we can take our bath comfortably. It helps us move from one place to another providing transport. It helps machines and other engineers fabricate all sorts of things right from mobile phones, laptops, lamps, anything which you have. Finally help create a good and comfortable life for us. So this is the scheme of machines and which is the subject matter of mechanical engineer. If you look at it more or less all schemes of mechanical engineering fit here. Machines which pump water they are also machines which handle power or pump water to put in the overhead tanks to have a continuous water supply for us. Machines which take water at a height and produce power hydraulic machines they are also of this kind. Now in this scheme of things there is one scheme of thing which is thermal engineering. You will notice that many of the natural resources or a major chunk of natural resources is what we call fuels and fuels are usually burnt or undergo a process of combustion releasing heat. And this thermal energy is converted by many machines into useful mechanical power which drives a shaft which in turn will drive a pump or drive a car or a drive a locomotive or drive a electrical generator which will produce electricity. So this conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy and managing all that is the subject matter of thermal engineering. All power plants, pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners they all come in the purview of thermal engineering. And if you look at mechanical engineering, thermal engineering which looks at the give and take between machines on one hand and natural resources and thermal energy on the other hand is one aspect. Manufacturing technology or production engineering is another aspect of mechanical engineering. And the third aspect of mechanical engineering is our ability and imagination to create those machines, the design of these machines. So design engineering is also a part of mechanical engineering. And these machines come out of nowhere. These machines have to be built of some materials, some metals, some plastic wood whatever. So materials from which these machines are built, that part is also of interest to mechanical engineering. So these aspects design engineering, materials which are used by designers and which are used by fabricators to produce machines and machines that handle thermal energy, thermal engineering, these are major parts of mechanical engineering. Now when it comes to thermal engineering, the basic science, absolute basic science of thermal engineering is thermodynamics. This is just to tell you what thermodynamics is all about, definition of thermodynamics will come to later. But thermal engineering is not just thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is the basic heart but then to move heat from one place to another, quite often we use fluids. So fluid mechanics for transport of fluid and energy associated with fluid, thermal or otherwise the next topic or next subject would be fluid mechanics. And transfer of heat through any type of materials is concern of the subject called heat transfer. And if you look at thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer is the basic let me say tripod on which thermal engineering is based. And later on it comes to more detailed phenomena like combustion and applications as in power plants of various kinds and refrigeration plant of various kind. So when you learn thermodynamics, you are learning one of the absolute foundation subjects in thermal engineering. And that is the reason why thermodynamics is considered an important subject and those who are good in thermodynamics will tend to be good in the other parts of thermal engineering. Thermal engineering is only one part of mechanical engineering, just the way we study thermodynamics fluid mechanics in thermal engineering the subjects. Similarly, there will be parallel subjects in design engineering of equal importance. For example, here you will have solid mechanics, then you will have stress analysis, then you will have kinematics, dynamics and what not. In a similar way we have thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and the subjects which follow. And of course, you can fill up this matrix by writing down other aspects of mechanical engineering and filling up the courses and subjects which are important out there. Since thermodynamics is a basic science concerns itself not only with mechanical engineering, but it concerns itself with many other branches of science and engineering. Because if you look at the question, what is it about? What is the science of thermodynamics? What does it discuss? Then the answer turns out to be the following. Thermodynamics is about energy, not just about energy, but what does this energy do? Whatever energy gets transferred or transported system to another, now again there are some words here which we have not yet properly defined, but we are using it like system. We define these as we proceed, then we say that thermodynamics is involved. And since the subject of energy and it is involvement with various systems is not only of interest to mechanical engineers, but it is of interest to any science or any branch of engineering which somehow requires to handle energy. We know energy cannot be created, it can only be handled, transferred, transformed and utilized. So there are various branches of science and engineering which will look at thermodynamics as a science of interest to them. And because of this historically thermodynamics has been contributed to by physicists, chemists and by engineers, particularly MEC engineers. Of course when the ideas of thermodynamics developed in engineering, so many different branches of specialization in engineering had not been created. So it was essentially MEC engineers, later on chemical engineers and chemists contributed to it. But when it comes to utilizing the science of thermodynamics it is utilized by many branches of engineering not just mechanical, but mainly mechanical, chemical, aerospace, metallurgy and materials what you have. It is also used by many scientists, it is used by physics, it is used by chemists, it is used by many other material scientists even biologists these days. Not only that when the science of thermodynamics became formalized, mathematicians contributed to it and in fact mathematicians like Caratheodori and Giles have provided us proper and logical foundations of thermodynamics. So what we have done so far is looked at the science of thermodynamics. We started off by looking at mechanical engineering, what is it about then we looked at thermal engineering and looked at the thermodynamic as the basic part of thermal engineering among mechanical engineering and then we looked at what is thermodynamics. So if we want to define thermodynamics maybe we can define it as the science that looks at the way energy behaves particularly when it is transferred from one system to another and these transfers we will later classify as work transfer and heat transfer. But the basic idea is both of these are energy transfers. Then we notice that thermodynamics is not the unique domain of someone, it is contributed to by different types of scientists and engineers and it is used also by a large number of sciences and a large number of branches of engineering even mathematicians have entered the picture. If you look at our topics, if you want to study thermodynamics what are the prerequisites or precursors what you should study before you study thermodynamics, at least the way we are learning thermodynamics. This list is not exhaustive, let me say high school physics and chemistry and two let me put it as the calculus part of mathematics. Particularly we will be using differentiation including partial derivatives, we will be using some coordinate geometry, some integration and in particular what are known as exact differentials. This exact differential topic is of particularly interest in thermodynamics, we will see that quite a few places this exact differential plays an important role in thermodynamics. If you are comfortable with these topics, there should be any difficulty in embarking on a study of thermodynamics and of course the following subjects you all know fluid mech heat transfer and then large number of applied circuits. We close our absolute introductory discussion of topics by naming some contributors because although we have said that these are our textbooks, these textbooks in turn have been based on the work of others who have developed thermodynamics. So the list of contributors to thermodynamics, it is something we should know about, who are the contributors of thermodynamics, the list will be exhaustive but I want to write some names which are familiar to us, some of them may not be familiar to all of you. If you look at the history of thermodynamics, go back in history, you will realize that during the development of the human race or human behavior or what Bronowski calls the ascent of man, fire played an important role. In fact there is a cranky author, British author who reviews cars, he has a very pithy statement, he said that till about 1820 in the 2 million years before that human beings discovered just 3 useful things, number 1 the fact that wood floats, number 2 fire and number 3 the horse and if you notice horse is something about power, the first energy that human extracted in some way, the early energy was from the horse and we still respect that by having a traditional unit called horse power. Well wood floats has nothing to do with energy but it is part of mechanical engineering because it allowed us to be transported across water bodies and fire, well I think the discovery of usefulness of fire and the dangers of fire, ability, the growth of the ability to control fire, create it, control it and finally douse it was perhaps the basic scheme of thermal engineering historically. The science of thermodynamics must have germinated at that time, who were those people who helped us understand fire, we do not know, they will remain in the grayness of history. Then much much later came an engineer called Karno and his idea that there could be, he worked with steam engines, which were used to pump water out of mines and transport mine stuff out of the mine and he started thinking about how good a steam engine could be and he came up with ideas of a reversible steam engine, maximum efficiency and such ideas that there is a maximum efficiency and anything beyond that may not be possible is due to Karno. His ideas are today encompassed in the second law of thermodynamics but if you go back in history the first proper contribution to the science of thermodynamics perhaps came from Karno in a form which today we call the second law of thermodynamics. We do not take his statement as the basic statement of thermodynamics, his statement we prove using our ideas of second law, we call it the Karno theorem, we do not call it the Karno law. Because of that contribution I would like to put Karno at the head of named people who have contributed to thermodynamics. After that we have a number of contributors and even if I use 10 pages that will not be sufficient. We have physicists like Jule, Kelvin, Runeford, we have chemists like Gibbs, we have engineers like Karno, Clausius, Rankine, modern day people like Keenan, pure physicists like Planck in some way Boltzmann, of course more of a physical and chemical contribution rather than engineering contribution. And we have mathematicians like Caratheodory and Giles, I think G.I. L.E. S. All of these in some way or the other have contributed to thermodynamics. And if you take any old dish thermodynamics book, I am sure you will find their portraits and brief life sketches in those. If I get some information I will put it up on the model for participants, so they can look at it. Now that brings us to the end of our introductory topics.

I Think he's from cgm, ain't he? He's from cgm and he was on and he was on tiktok or wherever he was on Doing the I'm still alive video like I'm still alive I'm still alive and to me that's boasting in your ops face like y'all spun me and couldn't even really complete y'all mission Y'all need to get your mission off So it's gonna be interesting to tell me after After doing a video like that being coming on here. I Got to hear about it now. You know what I'm saying What type of energy he's bringing to the table whoa Well, how fresh was this interview after he got it? Bro still got skin mark. Okay, talk to me Lou Gevels and I'm here to tell you guys a story On the 20th of November 2023 over in a very serious incident. I'm gonna just start off with my day Well, I was having a having a good day My bad. I was muted my fault my fault. I said November is when he did with the day that happened this video is from two months ago The math is crazy Well, you like less than 30 days after you did this video Was the Obviously, I started a podcast my very good friend and sister No, well And I was the first the first day our podcast was dropping No, no day. I all went to the gym for my bedroom had a good gym session Launched a podcast promote the podcast Left my friend's house About Maybe about just after midnight Went to the link one of my other bedrooms was chilling Burned some Kylie with him to get me When they got to about maybe like two in the morning drove back to my mom's house Lever grow power square I pulled up Not thinking nothing nothing of it seen a car. I'm all thinking it's one of my neighbors I parked up But let me stop you right there You pull back up to your mom house. Okay, that's probably where you lived Don't even care We're not gonna get into that but you pulled up to the crib. You seen a car You thought it was just one of your neighbors. Let me stop you right there me personally When I lived where I lived in Chicago, I knew every car on On a two block on a two block radius. I knew every car So if a car I've never seen before was out of place I'm not getting out of my car If there was a car just sitting on the corner And it had it and it was just running. I just keep going. I'll come back later Hey, I don't care. I'm not getting out of the car It's something that's off when I'm about to get out get out of the car and get to go in the house Yes, I had that on me. I Had the G lock on me, but you know, I'd rather avoid having to use this So I would just you know, I would either just you know Tell my on me or whoever I was with like now. Let's just Let's just go ahead keep riding around Like I have to spend my block like this is this my routine when I used to get home past 2 a.m I would go around my block like three four times Make sure nothing was moving Then I go park and go in the house There's something else was if it looked out of place Not having it Not doing like something told me Don't get out of the car yet. See and that's what be talking to me Some be telling me don't get out their car and I listen I Listen 100% Get me a parked up Literally right in front of the car Bucking the cars go out the parking space. They were in kind of a tight parking space Come out attack come out. There's the parking space parallel parked right next to me more thinking what's going on It's about two seconds later the passengers rolled out the window started letting off I just remember getting feeling the shots like Penetrating my skull the first shot bow in my brain second shot bow in my brain I just remember I mainly remember the shots going into my brain. I don't even remember the body shots I'm wearing a jacket A t-shirt I'm wearing my cars my cars just getting riddled up with shots in this moment of time I'm not even panicking. I'm just I'm just like I'm disfirming the shots the head the head shot one of the head shots has made me Like fly into the passenger seat. I'm in the passenger seat I can feel my brain. I can feel my bodily functions. Just Wondering I can feel it like I Can feel myself dying. I'm in the passenger seat Like my body's failing. I can feel my brain just slowly fading away I've seen a portal open a red and purple purple portal It all reminded me of that was hell like Stargate or Whatever it's called man, but they had the blue portal, but it's like it was like a a Smaller version of the port we was red purple looking demonic. I believe that The gates of hell opening my body half of my body. I say to go about there That's a word must like half of my scar is yeah, man. That was hell God pulled you up out of there like man. Listen, I'm gonna give you one more shot at this life thing Well, you see this purple this purple and red portal. This is what you're gonna be going You better chill out. I'm going through this pool Still hearing shots going off better grace of God Yeah God an angel Like in the future, I pray for more clarity to actually like seeing the supernatural realm to see what happened But I'm telling you go to church was God's doing Pick me up by my shoulders Yeah Put me back in the driving seat these times my cars already in part This is like I put him parked and I parked up. Anyway, you get me flipping I've turned on the car Spend the wheel with my right hand all the way to the right. Yeah and I've Fressed on the gas as hard as possible licked into the car. That's been shooting. I mean these times they will shot at my tires They they come to do that thing. You get me He was trying to eliminate something this time Spend the wheel all the way to the right I've licked into their car with force these times. I'm driving a big car. I'm driving a big Jeep. You get me They're in a smaller vehicle of licked into their car with force. They've hit they've crashed into about two cars on my on the road And then they sped off I mean, I'm in my car now in the middle of the road just Like I feel like God had blessed me with calmness. I wasn't panicking. My heart wasn't beating fast In my mind. I was thinking like I've just been hit up Man, that's a tough process. See the one time I didn't listen to my intuition I had went to go drop off my boy It was my birthday or something like we was doing something for my birthday and my my baby mama She was like, oh Blah blah blah left his keys and I was like, all right for sure. I'm gonna go take it to him And she was like, no, just stay home. Just stay home. I was like for what? I'm gonna just take it to him. It's cool Well, blah, I go out the house Uh, no, I was out the house. I came and picked him up. I came through the alley But before I got to the alley, I had seen the car and I always see this car But like it's normally like whatever You know what I'm saying and he come I'm going down the street It's a one way he come turn on the one way we look at each other and we go like this. So I'm thinking It's cool. It's calm I go on my block I hit the alley because you got to be a bold person to come on that block that I lived on and come through that Alley because you wasn't getting up out that alley If you came through that alley and you was and you was on that You was not fun to get up out of there 100% so So I come I grab the keys and my baby monster like no just come just stay home Just stay home give them to him in the morning. I'm like, it's cool. I'm already here. I'm here. Just give me the keys go in the house I come out the alley In my smart my intuition tell me like Well, go back home Go go back in the house. Listen go to house I turn into the also one way street. It's all one way streets in Chicago. I turn to one way street I look in the rear view mirror. These dudes is behind me In a four door four dudes. It was the same car Dude driving two people out the window sitting on the outside the window with these And I'm like You know what I got on me I got I got that get back on me too though so Bro, we drive.

I'm going north One lane north one lane south they pull up next to me and boy I'm gonna just leave it there what am I gonna do like I'm feeling my like the bullets deep in my brain. I can feel that I'm covered drenched in blood My whole car drenched in blood the passengers see the driver's seat the wheel. I just suck of the smell blood I've started to drive and I'm forgetting myself cool I need to drive myself to the to the local hospital and then I drove about 10 minutes I'll say not eight nine minutes down the down the road then I've realized now man I feel like that man slowly dying fading away. I'm still not panicking. I thought to myself yo I already drive back to my mom's I drove back to my mom's Obviously I'm driving on the rims the tires are flipping blown out. I can see in the in the side mirror I can see that my tires are I can just see sparks in it. I can see that my tires are blown out the steering wheel shaking I'm driving I'm breathing Taking deep breaths just driving drive drove back to my mom's bed. My mom's road is a no entry road drove up the road I've just put the handbrake on I even put on park. I looked at for my keys in the car took the keys I ran to the block door Put my clippin my key in the block door. I will put in the wrong key to have to shake it realize It's the wrong key putting the right key now Bust the door run up the block stairs You got energy to do all that door into my mother's bed I said to my mom look I'm gonna survive Call the ambulance One of my vegans choose say The area that I'm from like we all kind of live next to each other All that people yeah, no cap now you told your mama the right thing If you got hit up like you got hit up if you ain't gone already You're probably gonna survive that It's about so they've heard it's two in the morning people just heard like riddles or shots You know, it's not fireworks. You can tell the difference in fireworks and gun shots So yeah, why actually one of my vegans called me. I said to him yo I've just been shot in the head Pray for me as I've said that I've dropped my phone Took off my watch dropped on the floor The armjakes have run in my yard With their big whatever they you know their big things mp4's whatever they've got They've said to me Mate, can you hear us? I said yes They said lie on your back. Yeah lie carefully on the floor They kept on saying can you hear me? Can you hear me? They said that about three four times Yeah, they got to they wanted they don't want you to go to sleep And I said yes, I can hear you but slowly My my my vision and my hearing is going Blood too much blood loss like Slowly I'm the guy's too awesome. You can you hear me? Can you hear me? And then I figure about the fifth time Like it just went black. I could before my eyes even it went black I couldn't hear no more And then I closed my eyes or my eyes just closed whatever all I remember is just seeing quickly black. I'm not hearing nothing Then in my mind 20 minutes later I've woken up I've woken up in the hospital There's Nurses around me doctors around me tubes in and out in my arms. I could feel a tube in my nose See a good thing. I didn't get I didn't get Nothing to hit me but I want to show y'all picture of the car that I was in nine bullet holes All around me But didn't hit me That's crazy But luckily we are like and I see when it was happening. It's all of this is a slow motion Dudes firing at me Running towards the car And you know I'm out here like call the duty suppressing So he like and did I hear sirens in the distance? And I look up he turned around Okay, go back I'm like, oh my god And I'm trying to I put I'm trying to put the car in reverse Couldn't the car was not moving I was like, all right And you know, this is all allegedly Through a tube in my nose That I'm breathing I'm trying to I think it was my mom Someone said to me you've been here for five days. I don't know what I'm calling And imagine Two heads shots here People are coming to visit me my mom my aunties They put me in an induced coma because I got I got shot eight times. I got shot Twice in my head the side of my head. Yeah Through my skull deep into my brain I got shot once in the neck One bullet skin my like down the power for one bullet skin my leg Yeah, my chin I've fractured my fractured my jaw One bullet flipping Right from my chest Just above my heart came out just underneath my arm You got lucky I want blue off the tip of my ear Next bullet fragment in my in my stomach Colostomy to flipping um I'm alive. I'm I'm bathed. I'm thinking five days Obviously My family's broke down to me That I'm in a flipping. I'm in the hospital They put me into an induced coma whatnot um that Basically I was on the surgery They've took an obviously the bullets out of my body They like imagine the surgery does what they put me in an induced coma dessert My boy got shot. Um I think they put him in a induced coma. He had he got a zipper too He had uh, he had a colostomy bag Now for forever, but he had one The surgery was supposed to be for four hours, but I don't know what complications I think because it was a tricky one bullets was deep in my brain It took eight hours So They give you an injection to try to basically wake you up They give you an injection in your brain to wake you up The first one didn't work Over the couple of oh, I think maybe the next day or in a couple hours the second one didn't work The third one didn't work He was thinking about pulling the plug like I could be brain dead. This guy's not waking up The nurse said let me try to remember what like if that didn't get this short and I didn't wake back up Then that would have been it The nurse gave me the shot um What's his name? Welcome to the channel What's bro name they never said his name and it's like so far I woke back up and that's when that that's when I said that I felt like it was 20 minutes and it was five days you get me Like god is good. I'm I'm a healthy man. I go to the gym. I eat right Certain man was saying to me, bro. Trust me I don't like like I don't know like how you are even the doctor said I've never seen this four nurses Coming to me saying I thought he was dead Like really in truth. I should be dead. I got bedrooms that got shot same way God bless their soul twice in the head They're gone nine millimeter shells in my head It's big bullets. Yeah head through my flesh See, I'm thinking he got it by the 22 but I could see the the carnage that it caused and that ain't no 22 like Had to be a dodgy type gun No, I'm like You get me to get slapped once and they're not talking the same God willing man At a grace of god the glory goes to him. We don't go to no one else 100. I'm here for a purpose 100 So boom when I woke up A moment like this gonna change you 100 like it's gotta change It's just gonna make you worse or it's gonna make you find a purpose in life And it's gonna make you focus on the person that's kept you here Good night. I'm saying my first day in the hospital. I remember when my jaw was fractured and they put a tube My neck I think to help me breathe I was on um I was on oxygen but I was on my highest oxygen to help me breathe I was there I could talk But I couldn't talk that I don't have to say I sound oh, yeah I was sounding like I got shot But I was mumbling but I could like to strain my hardest For me to make out words and to say x y and z I was talking Now remember my mom saying to me, yeah, obviously my mom was saying to me that oh Obviously when I when I went it ran into the yard and I passed out When uh before they put me in the ambulance My mom is a strong christian woman. I'm a christian And my mom said to me that my her pastor Called her and said that god has just given him a vision that Daniel got shot or he's gonna get shot when he's called and said that She's obviously said he just he just ran in the house. He just got shot. He's on the floor unconscious They're taking to put him in the air ambulance now My mom's a strong woman. She's a very strong woman She was praying for me, but perhaps we see her even after this happened. She said to me when you walked into the yard Like as I said it when I was in the car. I was Like I could just smell blood. I was covered in blood She said to me oh Like your face would like it looked like your face was hanging off like because there was so much blood And because my jaw was fractured and because my head was just leaking as you can see like my head was leaking Squad and I was blood. It just looked horrible The whole time I was asleep in the hospital She was saying to me the pastor calmed her down. The pastor said look Don't let them worry. This man is waking up. God has told me that this guy is waking up and after this He's gonna heal up supernatural healing. He's he's gonna be stronger spiritually mentally physically And that's exactly what happened to me. I woke up Out look I got shot under 20 for november. I'm gonna tell you something The streets have a strong pull on you negativity has in it like if you're in the streets And you try to get out of the streets and it's something like this happens to you the streets still have a pull on you Even though some catastrophic like this happens like he could be capping it sound great These like that you got to be a strong intervention an individual Mentally to fully take remove yourself from the streets You know what I'm saying like and to not want to spend or to not want to you know I'm saying to have nothing to do with the streets 2023 I woke up out of this coma the 20 i'm calling captain over in my 2023 I was discharged from the hospital on the 29th. He's still outside 2023 I was in a coma longer than I was in the hospital At first I had that that little That tube thing I forgot was called the calisthenic bag or whatever the thing they put in your colostomy bag Oh, no, I couldn't get up I had to shit on the bed Like I said they had to put the little thing on me from my arms shit on the bed nurses wiping my arms So that's not a colostomy bag, but you had the uh The tube that go up your you know what I'm saying so you could pee Then you had the bed pan to use the bathroom dead neck You know what I'm saying The next day I was getting up. I got up. I walked around. I still had to ting it. I like I was eating So food But I still I was getting majority of the protein and and the vitamins and everything I needed the antibiotics through the little tube in my nose Next day they took it out and these times when I was when I first woke up they said that uh I might need to have another surgery They might need to be they need to check my jaw Certain things they're saying that minimum this guy is going to be in the hospital as a month I was in a hospital less like Less days and I was in a coma. I was in a hospital for four days before I got released Now I believe that I believe that because once he he said he was in the gym Your body can do amazing things if you take care of it 100% You know I'm saying plus you had a covering over you not from you directly But your mom praying and being a christian woman. She had already put that covering over you She had been had it over you so you had God on your side as well W moms supernatural healing as my mom as the pastor said I was just healing up mad quick. He was saying to me. I don't understand this. I know I gave my life to christ Seeing what happened to me. She couldn't believe what happened No one could believe they said they've never seen someone heal up like this in in in their life after getting shot like this And as I said all the glory be to god I've come out of hospital now. I've gone to one of my family relatives house I believe that he's giving all the glory to god, but I just don't but I don't know if we're gonna It's hard It's hard to get eight eight times or didn't not like that sweet difficult Especially if you know him to be making bread in the streets, you can't just pull up out of the air like that You can but it's gonna take a lot You're gonna have to have a lot of confidence in yourself I I'm healing up The doctor said that obviously it's good to do physiotherapy, you know, even if I went when I was in the hospital I was flipping they told me yo when every time you get up Make sure you breathe heavy and I was still on the oxygen thing and then they put it's like they took me onto that I don't know how to explain this. I'm not a flipping doctor. I'm not a scientist or whatnot but they put me onto that like The the lowest oxygen to help me breathe and then they took me off it So it was just me myself breathing because obviously my lungs was punctured when I got shot as well Right, right, but they wanted to take they had you on oxygen in stages Fully then half probably then mild that none Yeah So cool I'm recovering Oh, this is the one dig dig that got arrested for this That's what they're saying in the chat. I don't know that ain't none of my business It's a dig a dig got arrested too, but not for this, right? I don't know what he got arrested for I'm recovering mad quick I've come out of hospital obviously I'm walking around I'm uncertain anti antibiotic. Hey, listen, I don't promote no violence Stay up out in the streets Live life with a purpose They've they've given me A couple like laxatives to help because obviously and it's a mad team because even though I got shot on the belly I got shot in mad vital places. I got shot in the neck So I managed to shot on the neck that paralyzed for the rest of their life Certain man gets shot in their head. They're dead. Certain man gets shot in their heart. They're dead Certain man gets shot in their belly there that their large intestines are there and their small intestines are fucked for the rest of their life like Man's been blessed by God You know what I say like I'm a walking testimony to be here And I thank God so much and God's gonna use me to change people's lives and break downs like this You get me. I live this life You get me. I can say I've been a gangster. I've done everything that quote unquote gangsters Cool guys this life ain't cool. I'm telling you trust me And I hope people take in what I'm saying. I hope when I'm looking at my head and deepen these scars I've got shot twice in the brain In the cranium in the medulla. That's not a game. You get me Certain man. I'm not here breathing. Certain man gets stabbed once. I got better as I got stabbed in the leg They're dead And I had to bury them Certain man gets stabbed in there in their life. Certain man gets smacked in their face They fall down on the pavement. They hit the head in the side Your brain is very you know, say your skull is fragile. Your brain is fragile Your brain can bounce around in your skull and you could die like that How does that help me as a man get shot two nine million of your shells in the next of my temple in my brain? I'm still alive to tell you guys the story right now God willing Anyway, as I said, I'm recovering well. I'm heating up mad quick Um Literally like I mean literally there's no other there's no other reason like Literally god saved you But how are you repaying him now? What type of life are you living right now? Are you still living a life that can invite these type of demons in? Or how are you walking right just like you get me? That's the real answer. That's the real question I'm like not to be cheeky with it, but I'm even I even like a couple days after coming out I decided let me see. I love the gym. I said, let me see if I could walk press ups feel like I banged up 40 press ups like it was nothing didn't feel no pain. I first I was taken What was it cold? I don't know some coding thing and some paracetamol thing they were saying to me. Oh you got to take So because you got shot in the brain you got to take these certain medications because you're more likely in life to have seizures I rebuke that I've gone blessed You know what I'm saying that God has like I got shot big times But God has made me like spiritually and mentally bulletproof certain man not survive this You know what I say, but I survived this and I'm telling you guys That you guys out here living a life of crime and doing certain things. It's a joke thing. It's not cool. This is a vicious cycle Us as minorities as well. This is not this is not the life that man's man's supposed to be living. The worst thing is is that like A lot of my black brothers and my black people and people in general are dying over nothing over dumb things I've seen I've lost bedrooms. There's people that I didn't like they've lost their life And we've all got something coming. We've all got children. We've got mothers We've got sisters. We've got people that mourn for us I had people me me in this situation There was a big pro and a con It like but I feel like it was more of a blessing because one I could tell the youths and show the youths of my experience two I got friends that are muslim. I got friends that are christian. Do you know how much people? I'm telling you this brought probably more than a hundred people close to the god People started reading their Quran people started reading their bible. They're praying their five stars. They're they're praying They're leaning down. They was praying for man. So many pray people was praying for me because they didn't want me to die I got kids. I've got two beautiful daughters. They were the one without a father my legend I got shot twice in the head. He got two beautiful daughters He's not here to tell the tale, but I'm here to tell the tale So as a man don't get twisted. I felt anger. I felt pain. I felt so many different emotions But forgiveness is the key. I don't know who shot me And I hope that the person that shot me don't even experience what happened to me But my heart is open to open to forgiveness. I pray to god That's that's that's that now that is a great line for a podcast if this is how you want to come off I Got to to help me forgive whoever done this to me Sincerely not no joke forgiveness. I'm surreal forgiveness because at the end of the day This is a vicious cycle and and the main thing the reason why these things happen is because We have pride we have ego You know I say it's it's it's it's easy for me to pick up a gun It's easy for me to pick up a knife and take a man's life or to slap man or to Or to do certain things to endanger someone or to cause pain But you know how hard it is to forgive someone It's a hard thing, but By the grace of god I forgive everybody that act like You know I say I'm not a fucking gang member. I've put that life to the side I don't what I done. You know I say whether this is karma Whether this is whatnot. I've done evil and I know that day if I went through that what I went for I didn't see My eyes didn't go through that book. I didn't see but I know That was hell. Yeah, and I know if I went through there. I never came back I'll do it another for being lost. I told you I told you I ain't seen this before That portal it wasn't it wasn't a gates of heaven. It was clearly hell Yeah, it was clearly. I didn't even have to tell me I knew I already knew I sent that one before So I'm telling you Like But it's not a joke. This life is not a joke for a man that's lived every aspect of this life It's not a joke. I got shot eight times. Yeah, I believe he happened, but he's spitting facts You know what I'm saying You know I'm saying God can still use you as a vessel to get his words across Even though you yourself are cap He will still use your experience to save some lives Times that I'm here to say tell the teller There's not a lot of people that can sit down and they can say this and they can say They're physically strong like there's next man out here that ain't been shot. They're not looking like me I'm you know, I say like luckily I was shot in like Look, I got shot one of the shots went through my arm. Look at my bicep My bicep is do it. I'm not looking strong now This is by the grace of God man. It's looking strong. It's gonna tear through my muscle It didn't tear through my muscle. It just tear through certain places in and out Not gonna lie. The places he got shot is crazy like and they didn't hit nothing vital. That's why everything like As I said the month I'm a walking testimony and I'm here to preach and I'm here to say certain things Like I said, you are go down the you are God will use your testament He will use you as a vessel to get his word across Even though you still might be capping But he will continue to use you To get that point across After I went down because as we know I'm 27 years old of age Yeah, I've got into a life of crime at a certain age. I did things at a certain age It's more likely that once you once you're of my age or your older, it's hard to get out of these things You know what I say at the end of the day people don't show people more so the pros the pros of this life You're making fast money. You're getting gall. You got the nice watch the nice car. What is that? This life is temporary. The next life is ever lost. That's what I'm talking about Well, you in them streets that fast money that that listen fast money is a crazy addiction Seeing it come that fast. It's really hard to kick that habit once you're traveling and if you trap it outside It's hard. It's hard to go to a regular nine to five or focus on your dreams and goals and try to achieve them type situation And I just really want to know how he's really living like the real truth after this That's all you get me people don't show the cons you know the cons are the cons of having these scars all over their body The cons are like some people can't speak properly because they've been shot or they've been stabbed or they're paralyzed for the rest of their life Like I know man. That's in a wheelchair. I know I know man. I got sprayed up less Less times than me on a wheelchair now On god They they can't walk. They can't piss. They're gonna even have sex Like what type of life is this that is this life people would like to glorify this but they don't want to show the cons You're losing your bedrooms. You you you you you are die yourself and are damned to internal Like damnation hell Oh, you're losing loved ones Brothers friends. You got a what do you know how sad it is to to to bury someone? I don't know if you buried like a lot of people have lost their friends mothers Nans this and that it's sad to do this No parents should be burying their child. It's even sad for us a child to be burying their parent but Like i'm telling you and I and I and I stress this with all my heart And god has opened my mind like I can say that after two headshots My mindset is clearer than was it what it was before? Yeah, and I believe it. I believe bro mindset is really clear. God don't speak to him, but it's hard like He's I believe you giving your life to god your spirit is god's But it's your soul. What's in your soul right now? There's three stages to this. What's in your soul my boy? Your spirit and your soul got to connect so your body can move different And it's real hard man to get your soul about the streets You might be there spiritually, but are you there is your soul there? And who done that god God has blessed me with a second chance his life. So I hear it. I can sit down here Try and find out who's done this to me try seek revenge. What is that going to do? It's going to be a real current cycle what I get that person killed I get that person shot that person tries to do something back to me and my people It's the same. Shit. What this is what us people are doing to each other and who's profiting of this At the end of the day But when we actually deep who's profiting of all the guns coming into this country the uk Mashes are expensive. Who's profiting of this shit? Where's the shit coming from? Like come on my don't don't be dumb and get users puppets when we work from kids that Certain age you listen to certain music certain things glorify to you Don't let this spin your head because at the end of the day life is precious No one deserves to take another man's life. If I died that day, it would have been another minority or another human being that took my life and then what then So I might have avenged me and took a next man's life. What then where where does it end? Where does it end? You know what I'm saying? So take in what I'm saying carefully as a man the man that got shot eight times riddled up with bullets In his brain in his chest in his organs and his lungs and his arms everywhere And I'm here to tell the tale so listen to what I'm saying carefully life Is bigger than what you think it is This life is a test To for the next this life is only temporary so Well as the man that's still here breathing Being a walking testimony I've got some advice for you young kids out here Maybe that could potentially Like get into the life of crime that I've got to remember that You can do anything that you put your mind to look at their life Look at the the times that we're in you've got social media You've got so many different things that you can do don't strive to be a gangster don't when I was young I was looking I was muted again. That's crazy Like I'll be trying to tell I said I'll be trying to tell you man. Don't There's a lot of options that you could do out here Man, just pick it like look at Kai look at all of these streamers go be a streamer You know I'm saying go go go continue to be A gymnast go be a scientist go be a doctor go do something productive But I know if you want to live your life, I could go live your life, but just know That there's repercussions to everything. There's a re there's an action There's a reaction for every action And you got to be able to Stand ten toes with them So Luke so I'll appreciate that welcome back To certain man, and I wanted to be like them look at the doctors and nurses obviously I'm The greatest will be to God, but at the end of the day Like people learn certain things Stries to be a doctor tries to be a nurse tries to be a lawyer engineer tries to do something that can save people's lives At the end of the day God saved my life, but these people cut open my skull and they took bullets out of my brain That's a very big one little mistake that ended my life You got me to say know what you're doing with your life. There's so many there's so many things like as I said My hobby is gym You could you can everybody has an outlet for certain things Whether it's art It's gym. It's music. It's this people got platforms. They got social media Whether you learn how to do hair you learn how to flip in I don't know make content do something There's more to life than being on the streets than being a hoodlum Then selling drugs causing harm to people robbing people. What what what is that? Don't let don't let these things Ruined your life. I'm telling you I've got two I can name countless people can name more than the finger I can name more than the fingers of my hands up man. That's what I like Man, that's got kids 35s 45 rex 27 years for what? Man, that's dead for what? Understand that you got everybody has got a potential even a man That has lived a life of crime that's done certain things. He's got the potential to better in his life It's everybody's got a choice and the choice is yours 100% So 100% to what I've said very carefully and just know that life is real and that You can choose your own narrative You don't have to be assisted Ah, you don't have to be the cap is so unmeasured. He couldn't even get it out. Keep going though. You you speaking You spitting choose your own narrative. You don't have to be assisted Ah, you don't have to be a statistic. You get me like life is real You've got The options in your hand you got like Same way how I went down the path There's guys that went went through exactly what I went through when I was young. They went down. They went To the left. I went to the right. You know what I'm saying? We lived that they probably lived the poor and what's a life to me. But what do they do with themselves? They didn't go down a life of crime. They went to school. They they stayed in school forever more and I will say like Rome wasn't built in the day So, you know, he can still be walking his path. His path is a long path. Yeah They they train themselves. They got a thorough education and it becomes something with themselves So know that you can put you could do anything you put your mind to i'm telling you for free Trust me Make sure you pray he got his cap off the glory to god And just do he right though real life forget all this negativity all the cap that he everything that he's speaking is I got feel it. It's 100% like he ain't he ain't leading nobody or misleading nobody nowhere, but I'm I'm the question that I have is if he's following his own words And that's where when I say cap, that's where the cap is I don't really believe that you never like this fully But do you want to get there? I believe you want to get there, but I believe that there's like There's a strong pull of this of negativity negativity It's a crazy pull The world is consuming my negativity. Don't let what's going on in the world or facades or fashion or something thing Destruct your mental and your spiritual bond with god and to better your life You can do better than that all you young kids out here doing certain things. You're on the block You forget school. You can do better than that life is better than that Because when your life ends abruptly and you get class it's just it's not a game So I hope you took on what I've said Remember that the man that's been riddled with eight bullets is still here to talk and to share his testimony and to preach nothing about positivity and the truth And this is the truth You don't want to be a gangster From a man that is a reform character from a man that used to be a gangster You don't want to do the stuff that I've done live the life that I've done lived You don't want these scars. You don't want you don't want to headshot You don't even want to be the guy to to to tell the story But obviously this is god's plan god saved my life for a reason Right now. I'm here trying to trying to get into you guys heads trying to teach Trying to talk to the use of today these times guess what since I've been sure I didn't see my kids Do you know how much I miss I cried because I didn't even see my kids and I see my kids all the time Potentially the kids they couldn't even have seen their dad again if I didn't wake up And I'm here trying to get into you use heads trying to make you understand that You guys can do better than this Like I'm telling you And as I said before I don't know who done this to me But from the bottom of my heart god is helping me I'll forgive you and I forgive anyone that's done anything wrong to me Forgiveness is the key without forgiveness. We can't move on Without forgiving us each human other human beings. How can god have mercy upon us and forgive us? for our sins So I love you guys.

Cortical asymmetry is a common feature of the human brain, with differences between the left and right hemispheres being present from birth. These differences can be seen in both the thickness and surface area of the cortex, as well as in the shape of the brain itself. This asymmetry has been observed in many different populations, and is thought to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The study found that the asymmetry of the cortex is largely stable throughout life, with the exception of a peak in early adulthood when the cortex becomes thicker on the left side than the right. Additionally, the study found that the asymmetry of the cortex is associated with cognitive abilities, such as verbal fluency and working memory. This article was authored by James Emerow, DiDec Vidalpano, Indicaeanlion, and others.

STS-79 Flight Day 8
|
On this eighth day of the STS-79 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. William F. Readdy, Pilot Terrence W. Wilcutt, Mission Specialists, Thomas D. Akers, Shannon Lucid, Jay Apt, and Carl E. Walz, are seen bidding the crew of Mir farewell and then closing the hatches between their two spacecraft in preparation for undocking. The nine astronauts and cosmonauts gathered in the Core Module of the Russian space station for a formal goodbye. With the official ceremony complete, the crewmembers shared a final meal together and exchanged private farewells as Shannon Lucid prepared to return home in Atlantis and her replacement on Mir, John Blaha, began a four month stay on the station. Walz and Apt and Mir 22 Commander Valery Korzun with assistance from Flight Engineer 2 John Blaha, swung the hatches between their spacecraft closed concluding five days of joint operations. The vestibule between Atlantis and Mir was depressurized and leak checks were performed in readiness for undocking.

I think, as you all can see, we're gathered here around the table here in the base block of Mir, and I think we're demonstrating international friendship and cooperation here aboard an international space complex, Shuttle and Mir, demonstrating what we can do in the future as we proceed to international space station. Russian crews, American crews, and future international crews all working together. Shannon, as you're ending your your mission, wondering what just what your private thoughts are and feelings as this ceremony is about to happen this morning and you're finally really going to be coming home, and John just the opposite for you, what your thoughts are, what's going through your mind as your mission is about to truly begin. I also feel just a little sad, this has been my home for six months, and I've had a great time here, but obviously I'm very very anxious to go back to my real home back in Houston, Texas with my family, and also I'm just very very grateful that I've had this opportunity to experience the international community, it was just great, and I want you know my bosses for letting me do this, and I'd also like to thank all the people on the ground that gave such tremendous tremendous support as to make it such a pleasant experience for me, and I'd also like to thank Yuri and Yuri and also Valery and Sasha, because you know a person doesn't live by themselves, you live in a group, and working together just was a great time. I've been training to do this mission for the last two years, I'm really looking forward to it. Valery and Sasha are going to be a great crew to work with. The 79 crew with Bill have been fantastic to me since I returned to Houston and have supported me a lot during the transfer ops, getting all the equipment over here to do the job, and Shannon I give a big thank you too for having given me such a good handover to work on the mirror space station to make my life a little bit easier in the next four and a half months, so those are my thoughts. John how do you think you'll be feeling tomorrow as you watch Atlantis pull away? This evening? Actually I'm kind of looking forward to it, because we've been so busy with two control centers controlling us that I'm looking forward to the pace slowing down a little bit, which I think it will. So I'll probably have some other feelings as well, but I don't know what those are yet, but certainly it'll be very pretty as the Atlantis pulls away. A few weeks before your flight you expressed some concern about your need to develop a rapport with your Russian host, and I just wondered if you could elaborate a little bit on how that's transformed since you've docked. Do you feel like you've made up some ground? Do you feel you'll be comfortable and able to work productively? Absolutely. What you're referring to is a crew change which occurred with the Russians in August prior to their launch, and it's correct that I had not trained with Valaria and Sasha, but I had known them at Star City. I would say that what I told you two weeks before launch I've already learned that these two people are fantastic. They're going out of their way to help me and help me get acquainted with the mirror and the things we have to do, and any time I have any questions they really help me. So a big kudo to Valaria and Sasha for all their help. For Commander Reedy, I'm wondering what your reaction was right after launch after the APU shut off on its own, and whether you have any concerns about landing on two APUs? Well, we'd already had an engine cutoff, so we were already in space, and everything that the APUs were supposed to accomplish on asset was already completed. So we knew that the mission control team would be working this real hard, but the space shuttle was designed with an awful lot of redundancy, and it can fly just fine on two APUs and in a dire emergency, even one. So I don't think we're really concerned at all. Terry Wilkett takes care of the APUs and the hydraulics, and we've got procedures that we've practiced time and time again over the years that we can use. I don't think we're really concerned. John, the International Space Station is facing some fairly significant problems in terms of schedule and funding in Russia. There is issues with command and control. They're all going to be debated this week in an incremental design review, and I'm wondering, you're on the world's only space station right now, and I'm just wondering if you could say something to the negotiators who are meeting in Houston to debate some of these issues, what you might say to get the process moving along a little better perhaps? That's a pretty big question, and I'm probably the wrong person to answer, but since you asked me, I'll try to give you an opinion. Without a doubt, the Russians have learned a lot about space stations. They at first had to salute an orbit, and now the mirror has been in orbit for close to 11 years, and I'm sure having talked with some of my colleagues that we as an international community need a new space station because after a vehicle has been in orbit for a long time, the parts are starting to deteriorate. Without a doubt, this experience on Mirschuttle has been very positive, and it just shows how much more we can do with the International Space Station, so we really need to press forward, construct the new International Space Station, and do it together with the Russians and the Europeans and the Japanese and all the people in the world so as to provide new science information that can help improve life for everybody on the planet. I'm just wondering if during your six months up there, if you looked out the window at night when you didn't have anything to do, if you ever reflected on the philosophical significance of whatever you want to call it of being a pioneer or a space explorer, do you have thoughts like that or those the kind of things that you think about from time to time? I would just look out the window and I would think, wow, who would have ever dreamed two years ago that I would be here? Who would have dreamed ten years ago that I would have been here? I just thought about how strange my is and how many twists and turns there is in life. I just thought they're just really neat. The Commander Corzun, would you please tell us what you will be thinking about when the hatch is closed and your friend Shannon Lucid disappears behind the shuttle? Well, when the hatch closes and Shannon stays on shuttle, we will be sad. We're already kind of sad because not only are we saying goodbye to a colleague but to a very fine person, an outstanding professional, an outstanding woman, a very practical person. It has been reminding, having a woman on board has reminded us of a kind of a household arrangement. It's been very good having her on board. We will be somewhat sad with her return. We understand that she wants to go back and see her family and we will be remembering her. We're at the same time that we'll be feeling sad about Shannon. However, we will also be feeling sad about the farewell with the crew of Atlantis because we have had a very productive session of work here and these are our feelings. Atlantis Mirror, Houston. We've got a good view. They're in the base spot. Welcome aboard the Shuttle Mirror Complex, Atlanta. And mirror joined together and both orbit two crews together demonstrating cooperation and the future in space an international space station that will build together. I'd like to say a few words in Russian to our Russian colleagues, to our Russian hosts who've been so hospitable and who've worked so hard together with us. Dear friends, prior to closing the hatch, I would like on behalf of the Atlantis crew to say thank you for your hospitality and for Shannon. We know that John will work well and exceed all of our expectations. We appreciate not only their hospitality but also the way they made Shannon a part of their crew and how well we think that John is going to do when he starts. And what this mission is about is ends and beginnings and conflicting emotions I think for all of us here. Beginnings because it begins John's flight with the Frigati with Valerie and Sasha. And endings because it ends Shannon's flight, record settings right here having concluded six months on orbit. I think all of us when the hatch closes are probably going to have also conflicting emotions. We'd obviously like to stay and every time we go past the window and see the mirror, it's just an awesome sight. And every time we float down one of the passageways into the hatch and see one of our Russian colleagues working together with a member of our crew, it's just that it's really a joy to behold. I'd say something in response to something that he already said. Prior to closing the hatch, we would like to thank our American colleagues for the wonderful work that they have performed on orbit for the well-planned work. And I hope that our cooperation between Russia and the United States in space will serve well for all of mankind. Folks, I'd like to thank you for having blown up to us and that we have done, performed such an interesting and good quantity of work that everything has turned out so well. And I think that this work of ours, this joint work will in the future, looking toward the future, be an example of benefit to all of mankind. And Bill, as you so aptly stated, even in the greatest of successes, there can be few moments of sadness. We're checking out all the different things. We've got to make sure the crosshairs are installed, two docking lights are installed. We're waiting for the Russians to complete their side of it, which is checking that the seal is nice and clean on their side. Taking hands here with Valery and Sasha, kind of a bittersweet moment, because I'll tell you they're such great guys and they did such a terrific job working with us here and all the transfer and experiment ops. Hatch closing, you can see the docking cross there is reinstalled.

OSBS - Ordway-Swisher Biological Station, NEON Terrestrial Field Site | Florida
|
Ordway-Swisher Biological Station is located in north central Florida and encompasses a research area of just under 37 sq. kilometers. This NEON site is dominated by long-leaf pines, turkey oak, grasses and herbaceous flowers. The site is managed using prescribed burns to maintain natural fire regimes on the land, which help maintain the structure and function of the natural longleaf pine forest as well as minimizing damaging effects of high-intensity wildfires. A 115 foot tall flux tower collects physical and chemical properties of atmosphere related processes. Field observations of plants, animals, soils and microbes are also collected within the tower airshed.

Well, ever since the start of the season, cast like being a boys basketball had the goal of winning a state championship. Now they're a step closer to making that goal a reality as they get to ready to make some noise down south this week. For the first time since 2010, cast like being is heading to the state tournament of feet. That's been a long time. That long to get to where we are. Even in those years, you know, when they're freshmen, sophomores, juniors, we had good teams. We just, we just, we were just lacking something somewhere. Just this bunch, it was like everything was put together. And that was apparent in their section final win over Aida Borup, where the Panther starters got in foul trouble, but the bench came up big. When the bench plays good, I don't think we could be, to be honest, because the starters are doing good and the bench comes in and it's knocked down threes like that. It's over. It's no secret this team knows how to score. 80 or more points in 19 of their wins this year. And with that depth and balance, it's a pick your poison of who you want to guard. Just so nice to have not just like one or two or three guys on a team that can score it all, but like, like that five and six and seven, eight. And man, it just, it's so amazing to have such a team like that. I mean, like say two or three of the starters are out and two or three can come in, they can do their job. Now the focus shifts to Rushford Peterson in the quarterfinals. Another team that likes to slow down the pace, but that won't change the Panthers game plan. We're going to go down and do what we do. You know, until somebody stops us and beats us, we're not going to change what we do. We're going to do what we do and we're going to keep rotating. We're going to keep pushing the ball up. We're going to keep going in 10, 12 to 15 guys. But in the end, it all comes back to their goal since the start of the season. There's a second place banner up there and I want to have a championship banner. So the one that says championship banner. If we do it, it's going to mean a lot to the reservation and stuff. It's going to mean a lot. They are the nightcap tomorrow night at the bar and tip-off set for around five when it goes to the Target Center and the semifinals Thursday afternoon.

I'm sure most of you heard about this 2010 film called, Despicable Me. It was really popular when it was released on July 2010. Well, I love that film too. Most notably, everyone recognizes the cute yellow creatures named, Minions, who serve supervillain turned hero Phelonius grew, and following the film's success, it made two sequels, releasing in 2014 and 2017. A spin-off prequel film, Minions, was released in 2015, which tell the epic story of the Minions before they met Gru. A sequel to the Minions film, Minions, The Rise of Gru, is scheduled to be released in 2021, following its delay from a July 2020 release following the global COVID-19 pandemic shutting down every cinema and theater in the world. Well, speaking of theaters and cinemas, I used to work at an AMC theater in California. I loved my job. Until I discovered something horrific. Here's what happened. I was just your typical, average, ordinary cinema employee. I was cleaning up Cinema Hall 7, which was showing inception. I swept the needed snacks on the chairs, floor, and little crevices in the walls. I sprayed the popcorn and soda filled air with some air freshening spray, and cleaned up all the soda spills. I was leaving the cinema hall until I saw what looked to be a yellow do not cross tape. The tape you would see in a crime scene. The tape was on the door that led to Cinema Hall 10. I asked my fellow colleagues if they know anything about this cinema hall, and they gave me the face of confusion. Sometimes I would get responses like, What are you talking about? And I don't know what you're talking about even. As my curiosity kept rising more and more, I asked the co-manager of the cinema if he knows about this cinema hall. Ha, do you know anything about Cinema Hall 10? I asked. What? He responded. It's like he doesn't know it existed and that I was the only one who knew. Stressed, I lead my co-manager to the door of Cinema Hall 10 and he followed me. I showed him the door of the cinema hall, and he became as pale as a ghost. He told me to follow him into his office, and told me to sit down upon arriving to his office. I sat down and he told me the entire story. He said that, back in 2010, Despicably premiered on that cinema hall and a hacker somehow managed to show a disturbing version of the film. Reports say that the moviegoers in Cinema Hall 10 were terrified and were immediately escorted to the hospital. It's said that one of the moviegoers told about this horrific experience. He said that the moviegoer told CNN about the movie. The co-manager then opened up his TV and played what looked to be a recording. The co-manager's TV played a recording of what looked to be a news report. The moviegoer then appeared on camera and said that he and the audience had shown the most scariest thing known to mankind. He said that in the scene where Gru and Margo were falling when Gru tried to save her from Vector, instead of the minions catching Gru and Margo, the minions didn't save Gru and Margo at all. Instead, a disgusting splat sound was heard and a picture showed. Scary music began to play as the camera showed Gru and Margo's dead bodies. The strange part was, the bodies looked like Gru and Margo's voice actor and voice actress, Steve Carroll and Miranda Cosgrove respectively. After showing 10 minutes of Gru and Margo's corpses, a pair of hands emerged from the bottom of the screen. A minion with blue eyes appeared and screamed so loud that the now frightened audience fled the Cinema Hall. Other moviegoers reported that the moviegoers in Cinema Hall 10 told them not to watch the film that was shown in that movie hall, as they ran into their cars with their crying children. The co-manager turned off his TV and concluded the story. He said that, after the incident, no one was going into Cinema Hall 10, even when it showed the original, non-hacked version of Despicable Me. One of the parents even tried suing AMC, but the case was settled, with the court finding in favor of AMC, and the company issued a public apology on its official Twitter and Facebook account. The cinema I was working in was forced to close the Cinema Hall due to low attendance, and also to prevent future incidents from happening again. I left the office and that's it. The next day, I felt prepared to go into that Cinema Hall and clean it. I was just cleaning Cinema Hall 2, where it was showing the Sorcerer's Apprentice. I made sure no one was around and unlocked the door via the key I had in my pocket. When the door opened, there was so much dust in the air that I coughed a bit. I opened my flashlight and sure enough, it was empty. I could see leftover popcorn and soda stains all over the floor and chairs. There were even popcorn and soda cups on the chairs. I looked onto one of the soda cups in one of the chairs and I almost begged and vomited. The cup was filled with soda, but on top of it, was some disgusting mold and I swore I saw a plant growing on it. I looked at the popcorn and it was mushy, so mushy that it actually began to meld onto one of the seats. I decided to clean the Cinema Hall, but it was so dark I had to hold my flashlight in my mouth to clean the seats. As I was cleaning, I heard the door slowly open and I ducked behind the seats to make sure no one knows I was trespassing in this hall. The figure then left the hall, as I stood up from my hiding spot. Then I went to the projector room of Cinema Hall 10. As I went up there, I found something horrifying. It was a body of someone. The body wasn't recognizable, and when I shined my flashlight onto the person in question, I noticed it was the local AMC projector guy. Then, I heard someone's voice say, Hey, what are you doing here? Then, I turned around and saw someone, holding a knife. Horrified, I ran towards the door, which was opened a crack and left in a hurry. I locked the door of Cinema Hall 10, and never told anyone about my experience. I didn't know if that was the hacker from 10 years ago or was it a deranged psycho. I guess I'll never know. If you ever find this Cinema Hall in the Californian branch of AMC, do not go in there. Seriously. I am begging you.

Hitler was afraid of a war on two fronts. The 14th Army in Arakhan is facing a dozen fronts at once, and one of them is the supply front. Never in the history of warfare has there been so difficult a problem. It's a country that's not fit to live in, much less to maintain a fighting force in for months on end, but it's got to be done, and it's being done. Always there's the most insidious enemy of all, the rain. It's trackless jungle, dripping with disease. The hot stormy air soaks into the men's bodies, making them tired as mountaineers gasping for breath on the final peak of a mountain. There's the grim fight to keep body and soul together. Shelter for the night is a few flimsy tents perched on a hillside. Every box of supplies must be hauled up the long weary climb from the foot of the hill. Water must be passed from hand to hand from the only available spring. Yet somehow men ready to drop from exhaustion get their food. And there's the jack front proper. For him that shifts every day backwards. He expected to fight, but he never expected to be remorselessly shelled to pieces. That's what's happening. And batteries like these, manhandled in the position, have turned the tide of war. Tide artillery turns the attack into a rout. This is the reality behind the brief communiques you read in your newspapers. Yet out of it all, day by day comes news of victory. Like a massive cloud was the smoke screen thrown out by the German battleship as the attacking aircraft approached the Norwegian field in which she was lying. Through the billowing smoke, the turpits opened up with every gun she had. All thousand pound bombs began to take effect. At least three direct hits were registered. Haring stopped and a great cloud of smoke rose from the shattered vessel, now lying on her side. So ended the inglorious career of Germany's most powerful warship. When Mr. Churchill arrived at an airfield near Paris, General de Gaulle greeted him warmly on this, his first visit to the French capital since May 1940. As Britain's premier drove to the Arc de Triomphe for the reef laying ceremony, it was obvious that Paris was about to witness one of the most moving episodes in her history. This was the first Armistice Day ceremony in the city in five years. And as Mr. Churchill and General de Gaulle arrived to lay their reefs, the scene underlined not only Anglo-French sympathy throughout the years of sacrifice, but also the need for full Anglo-French cooperation in the years to come. Cannon shot announced the hour of 11 and a minute of silence. Afterwards the premier signed the Golden Book of Paris before he and the general proceeded on their walk down the Champs Elysees. It was a walk which proved to be a supreme personal triumph for Winston Churchill, for his faith in the rebirth of France and for his untieing work towards that end. It was a demonstration too of French gratitude and friendship for Great Britain and her allies. As the Great Parade went past, the story was one of such enthusiasm as can seldom have been seen in any capital. And how Paris welcomed the reappearance of the uniforms of the allies. In 1940, Churchill offered Frenchmen equal citizenship with Britons. In June 1940, when hope seemed dead, he promised France that her greatness would be restored. No wonder they cheered him on November the 11th, 1944. A great day for Paris, a great moment for Winston Churchill.

I try to get a little sleep I don't know got a little bit of sleep, but uh, it's crazy. I appreciate that rave kingdom. It's funny because um Like usually the Saturday night They gotta be nowhere early in the morning. So I'm like, okay cool chill Whatever I think about waking up early on Sunday morning, but yeah now yeah Oh, keep Mitchell returning all right. Oh, they got that boy to return it from jump Devon Duvenay. You might be out of there They got Keaton Mitchell literally returning the ball from jump. Oh my goodness They got a what they love him that much wow What okay, never mind. I thought I thought I saw Keaton. Oh, that is keep okay. Never mind my fault my fault Okay, my fault my fault my fault my fault. Hey, I thought that uh, I thought that it was Keaton Mitchell back there alone My apologies my apologies my apologies.

Yeah, they cuz they showed that that camera angle was true It was deceptive. They got us man. It was deceptive So, let's see, man. Like I said monkey need to chill out with these screens. You know, that's monkey and bread and butter, baby so That's that's that's mr. Live by die by all right Justice Hill Patrick Ricard with a block Justice Hill got a couple of yards. Hey, here we go We officially started man Gonna be a long day, but a dub in the end. Hey, let's get it man The Titan show Friday like we did in the Raven show the whole Monday like the Jags did it's gonna be a blow I hope it is a blowout. I think it has every reason to be a blow I think it needs to be a blowout just for Raven's confidence in themselves um, because when you When you lose especially the way that they've lost the Those two games and even though games that you won Like and even with this this game, what are they going against who ryan tana hill and he's solid, but Still, I mean, it's ryan tana hill, man Uh, what they did they did be joe burrow and the bingo. So I feel like that was their best win um This season so far But uh, again, you can only play hoops on your schedule So ravens don't make the schedule. They just play it. So you got to take care of business regardless of who you're going up against So here we go, man I hope you're davian clowny against one of his former teams that I hope he can get a couple of sacks today, man Why is justice starting? But that's you know, shout out to my god jason from huddle up fields because he recognized this from preseason That justice hill was starting uh a lot like When jk dobbins went down Even before jk dobbins went down uh when jk dobbins was having his Oh Hey, I ain't mad at it. I ain't mad at it because he I ain't mad at it But excellent tackle by number zero And he must have been watching roquan smith film. Oh, that was a huge. Hey, you know who he remind me of He looked like hollywood on that place He looked like hollywood with that yank with that number 15 on he looked like rookie hollywood Shout out to my god Anyway, oh, but mic what I was saying Oh one second. Let's watch this play because lamar looking and walk or oh y'all couple players some of y'all couple plays ahead of me That's I mean like a player hitting me. That's cool. But anyway, um My god jason from huddle up fields. He saw that uh When jk was having his holding It was justice hill that was getting the first team carries and practice and in the preseason Um, well, he said what justice hill he really fits this raven scheme Better than gus edwards does now gus edwards to still get jiggy now You can still do his thing, but justice hill fits the the raven scheme better than gus edwards does so And then we saw it like when once the game started being played to once jk went out. They still kept um They oh, yeah, hey, these receivers catching the ball Nelly done caught it zade uncaught it bait done caught it. They can hey, they catch it They left them bad hands, uh over here. They left them bad hands in pittsburgh. Then he what's up, man They left the bad hands in pittsburgh. So they okay. I like I like this. This is good to see, man This is good to see. This is this is what we like But yeah, that mic that was uh my god jason had pointed that out to me and he's a film guy, man So he noticed that but So it's even Oh, look at gus. Come on. Oh, you almost got it gus. You're close. You're close It's sad. We have to get happy about them catching Hey that last week messed up every single ravens fan. It messed everybody up ahead. I was having a lot of uncomfortable conversations Um, it just it was a lot of discourse about These Baltimore ravens and the receivers and whatnot some people brought up Todd monkey and whatnot You know, a lot of people talking about hardball. What it it was a lot of everything poor course People talking about little more Oh, everything everything after losses conversations. They get real interesting, but even after some wins Uh-oh, what's going on? Why why is hardball? What's going on somebody down? Oh, why man? Why every every week, man every week This sucks man, you know what? Yeah, I know a lot of y'all in here play madden. I play madden too a lot especially recently because um I just love playing franchise mode. I don't do or play I don't play anything else on there, but franchise mode. Um and and actually the uh The I love the mini games that they put back in there too And caught caught up who he don't really care much much about football He like those mini games too. So I'm like, all right, man And if the eight of this the way that you're gonna get my son to really love football no problem but anyway, um When I'm playing my franchise mode It is extremely realistic because every game Ronnie Stanley, he will get hurt and he missed some time Morgan Moses, he'll get hurt missed some time pat mccarrie. He got hurt missed some time. I end up, uh, I end up Signing I signed jason peters Then he ended up getting hurt for seven weeks. I signed, uh The one that we signed Two years ago who got cut from the Broncos with that juan james. I signed him. He ended up getting hurt I'm like, man, what is up, man? Like madden is realistic, man Because I I I signed all these extra offensive linemen because my guys were banged up like man And then other players they start getting hurt and I'm like, this is crazy This is crazy, man But it is what it is man already missing solid for this game What you mean? Yeah, the game the sort of game is realistic People keep saying madden ain't real. Yes, it is It is very realistic, man extremely realistic, man, so Shout out to madden. What's up mjd mdt. What's up, man? I ain't know you was in cali This whole time. I ain't never know you was in cali. Oh, yeah, I love madden, too But well, yeah with with salla, um Yeah, I do I do leave salary cap on I sure do But what I I turn the trade, uh, I turn the trade deadline off, but I do leave salary cap on so I'll be I'll be changing the rules a little bit What not but It's all in fine. All right Gotta turn the injuries down to like 10. Now I leave them to whatever the default is. I think they already on that Or maybe they're on 25. I don't know but I'll leave it whatever whatever the default is for injuries I just leave it at that Okay, there go john simpson. Okay. He's good. All right. He's good He just needed a little shot of tea All right, here we go Come on ravens. Y'all been taking care of business thus far All right, y'all running straight up. Y'all not playing no games. Gus edwards. God stopped Even lost about a half a yard too. I can see them going for it right here Because I can see them being like, you know what we ain't want to come all this way for nothing I can see them going for it But I I would kick a field goal here Get get some points. I'll kick a field goal here get some points And then see how your defense does and then go from there I'm so I'm kicking a field goal here. They still showing the replay of Gus edwards getting stuffed Let's see what they okay. They're kicking a field goal. Okay. I like that I like that So let your defense come out there and don't don't give titans all that momentum They got a little bit because they stopped us on third and one But good good job taking a field goal. We like this We like this. Oh Stanley got blown up. What's new? Oh, no, I'm playing. I'm playing. I'm playing. Shout out to Ronnie Stanley, man Shout out to Ronnie Stanley, man Ronnie Stanley And does it does it happen to y'all too? I know we we watching the game, but they don't break right now We're about to see tana hill come out. Um with with madden too Offensive line is a struggle at least for me Well, I only play with the Ravens and I'm playing franchise offensive line be struggling like crazy And it's been that way for years, man. Does that happen with y'all too, man Over a car ran into Stanley. Oh, man. No, no shots. No shots. No shots. No shots No shots, but I mean no shots Simpson some of the momentum Because there was a pretty good drive a good way to start man I wouldn't say Stanley is awful, but I just feel like um I feel like we got to talk about Stanley a little bit I feel like we got to have some conversations about our guy Ronnie Stanley. He he not he's not awful though. He just um He just what's up, baby? He just um It's been tough. It's it's been it's been tough, man. I do think that they um They said every defensive line shines on us. I do think that they need to invest in left tackle What is is tricky? We we oh bb speaking of you being in here, um, we did already record the questions It was from subscribers from this past week But all your stuff was busy and we didn't get to drop it and then especially with this being an early game that kind of Tweaked the schedule a little bit, but um So, yeah, we'll drop that sometime this week. Maybe on like monday or tuesday or something. We'll we'll see um But yeah, Gus not hitting the hole Greg rumble and better than Todd munkin. We could be up by seven but three is okay Yeah, hey, at least they got it man time to move on from Stanley too much time off That's the thing man. It's um, I'm I'm not mad at anybody who says that because I get it and um But there's a lot of money invested in Ronnie Stanley Appreciate that cam. He said do you think the injuries caught up to Ronnie Stanley? I wonder that man? I really do man I wonder that Yeah, I you know, I gotta look it up, man because with Ronnie Stanley with his contract they um They They uh They keep restructuring it They keep restructuring it over and over. Um, whenever they need some money They will keep going to his contract. So I know they got a lot tied into the back of it Can y'all teach me what's going on or what? He said man calm down people at lower relax. We talking about what y'all talking about We paying him 15 million to get some health care how old is right? I don't even remember how old Ronnie Stanley is I don't know. That's a good question. I need to see Keaton. He's a better receiver out the back than justice hill Hey, that's some high praise now because justice here. He's a nice receiver catching out the backfield now Um, so yeah, hey, I think we will see Keaton Mitchell for sure this game though How much we'll see but I think we will definitely see him because Raven's been they've been sharing a workload man with the running backs a lot Should I faked it to gusts and ran with Lamar? Maybe they just didn't want to get pretty for one for one Y'all, maybe they just didn't want to get too pretty man. Maybe they just wanted to be straight up All right, here we go Raven's having to stop derrick henry Hmm. All right. Oh derrick henry from jump. Oh Good thing he slipped because boy that. All right second and three Come on defense Come on, man. Come on. Come on. Give physical get to get all jadevian. Okay. See it's a group effort It's a group effort Jadevian started and marlin humphrey finished it man. It's a group effort Worried about spears henry goes down on that The radio is a good two to three players ahead of the tv. Oh Well that that makes sense because the radio, I mean they they got a stream I guess but the tv the network that I mean It got to get sent to the internet then you got a stream it from whatever platform you watching it on from and So it could be a little behind But yes, it's all good. All right third and two man Stopping him right here would be great. Stopping them right here would be great. I mean, who's that? Oh, that's kyle venoy I was like, who's number 50? Yeah, let's go. Let's go hump. Hey shadow. Hey, that's my Really, man It just looked like a good no-call man. That that that just looked like good play to me You look like they were doing that thing That what? Come on there That's an offense. What? Show that show that replay man because that That just it just looked like they were just playing it. Let's see. Let's see. All right. Here we go. Marlon. He ain't jamming. Okay What Please show it from a different angle because I'm looking for it Did he did he hook his arm or something? What what happened? What was it? I because I sure ain't seen no pi man unless I missed something I said first world probably in 30 seconds behind Unless I missed something. I did not see no pass interference, man Wow Oh, see de andre hopkins tired man. He like man. I I I don't got a I don't got a good call that shouldn't been cold So let me take a little break real quick, man. Whoo. Oh, you just missed him Kyle Hamilton But hey, you were close. You were close You were close King blazer that was a good call I I didn't think so man mark. What's up, man? What's up, man? Oh de andre hopkins came back. He said I I'm done with my break Oh, he hooked his arm. Okay. If he if he hooked his arm then this pi But maybe I needed to see it from a different angle If he if he hooked his arm when the ball was headed this way then that that that's pi But let's see, man Okay, who's that? Oh, that's Arthur Millet. Okay, because that's number 10 I thought Kyle vanoy was dropped back. Oh, Arthur Millet blitzing. He blitzing. Oh, oh, man they had a they had a nice blitz too, but 15 came running over Hmm, that's a tough one. That's a tough one. Mr. Wines. What's up, man? Bill alcohol. Say Hamilton is hunting Hamilton. Nice, man Hamilton nice, man The boy can play man Like straight up It's 5 a.m. For you. Oh, that's dedication watching this team, man D hop could have been a raven Hey, I you know, I would have loved that. I would have loved if de andre hopkins came to the ravens Oh Man, that would have been amazing Y'all know that that's my guy right there, man and I was thinking like man I could have had like my uh two two of the guys that um Two of the guys that I uh, really have been wanting the ravens to get for the for the longest. Um, almost had both Ravens really almost had both, man They almost had both They almost had both man because jadavian clowny and um de andre hopkins Oh, both two former texans by the way. I guess I really like texans hydraf picks But I I had really wanted both of them to to be ravens for a long time. Um And we got one of them finally, uh, I mean and and the ravens tried to get both of them years ago, but Obviously it didn't work out, but now they got jadavian and Almost got de andre too, but yeah, it's all good. Marlowe came back and started making the defense play, but They put the head squad on them. They're gonna throw quick passes. It's gonna be hard to get sex The hop just wants to be a raven and we signed Odell for jane way Ravens value useless draft camera Our pass rush another corner traded to trade him Marlowe Trade Marlowe. I'm telling you we got the neo hunter for you. Send us some picks Yeah, I did see that report saying that uh Vikings um, they listening to to to office on uh, the neo hunter I did uh read that that what that came out yesterday. I think So Hey, we'll see we'll see Marlowe is rusty. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he This is what second game back and he said he's still on a pitch count, but yeah Yeah, brand people tripping for saying that one man. They they they they they tripping for that one man They tripping for that one. Oh, no, he he is rusty. He he definitely rusty you if you want a pitch count like when you come back The and and rust is not it's not an excuse is the truth He missed the first four games. Well, what's the five? No Four games. Yeah, because he came back the fifth game. He missed the first four games Like he obviously didn't play in preseason. He missed the first four games of the regular season Yeah, that's rust. That's rust like come on, man That's rust So what like yeah, that that ain't no excuse. That's what it is Now I mean last week you still got beat straight up, but hey That's these it's rust and it's a that's a wrist the ravens took so Yeah, man Trade them for a good trade for a good draft pick Marcus Williams is playing with one arm looking at the table. Yeah, that's what I was saying I think with Marcus Williams if he ain't right then they should see them I haven't got to see him on this drive yet. Like I haven't like paid attention to him anything So I don't know how he's looking now, man Yeah, with um with jerry judy um I love jerry judy jerry judy from florida too but like what What's jerry judy going to do for the ravens now? Well, what what's what's he gonna do for the ravens? right now, I just That's I don't I I don't see it like Yeah, like somebody said moving the needle I don't I like jerry judy, but I don't I don't move in the needle. No, he's not he's not moving the needle for the ravens It'd be nice, but No All right, let's play action and going d What's the flag? Oh, they threw that flag late What's the flag? That's probably gonna be what defensive holding What is it? They threw that super late, man They threw that late the play was already over then the red the ref was like What's the flag now? Oh that Wasn't he going for the ball? If he's going for the ball then that's they're good Like what and if it's if it's un-catchable, then it's that's straight too, but like what's What's going on, man? Oh goodness Oh, it's passing the fence too. So they moved. Oh, they move all the way up there like come come on, man See, okay. Hardball knew the rules for that one. He knew the rules for that one Oh, yeah. Hey, I get it hardball. I get it I get it I get it I get it. Wow. D. Andre Hopkins getting these two calls for the D hop, man Hey, those those calls could have been going for us. It could have been going for us Here we go defense again. I mean I can't be I can't be mad at whatever happens with the defense right here Uh, those those penalties like really just killed stuff, man But um, let's see, man. Let's hope they can still get a stop holding them to at least I mean at the most three So if they can get some stops here, man, that would be great That would be great That would be amazing, man. I would I would love that even though it's tough so Hmm. Oh See, yeah, they talk making a play for the football I guess the a the rules change when you did the Andre Hopkins the rules change for you They change for you So, let's see. Maybe the refs call it different over there in london Whoo, almost Oh Oh, hey great way to finish Brandon Stevens Great way to finish. Oh, man. Kyle vanoy just missed the strip sack. He just missed it Oh, he just missed it Just missed that strip sack, man Great way to finish Brandon. Oh, he more so dropped by a brand is even there the brand is even wasn't there That might have been touchdown. Oh, that was a great finish though, man Great finish All right, let's go, man Come on. Oh, that defense is first in the red zone. I didn't know that I know that defense is really good Now, I know they were first in the red zone. All right. Oh, hey, hand me get a pick, man Come on. Oh, David and clowny get a sack Oh, both Roquan. Oh, they set up the screenplay. Oh, man Oh, good tackle Patrick. Good tackle, man Oh, they they might go for it, man. They might go for it. I think they're going for it I don't think they're kicking the field goal. I think they're going for it, man I I think they're going for it What a great tackle by Patrick queen, man And that was that was a great play set up by them because there was that misdirection and Patrick queen was on the other side of the field Oh, they kicking the field goal. Okay, cool. All right, but um Yeah, that that was a great play by them because That whole they they they fooled some of the raven because they sent that running back emotion to the right So Patrick queen and Roquan Smith. They were both running that way But the play design was set up to the left They they set up the screen for that wire receiver So Patrick queen had to come from the other side of the field and end up making that play that saved Not just the first down but probably saved a touchdown, man. That was uh, oh christmore on his team Oh, I didn't realize that man I didn't realize that man I didn't realize it so They needed two penalties to get three points. I'm liking this. Hey Hey Hey, let's go man. Put Gino in or Marcus Williams ain't look good Mark Williams ain't right back there favorite. Oh, he was doing it again. Really? Oh, no, that's not good Refs. Oh, it's a couple of makeup calls and we're tired. Look at the positives here. You're right Ravens girl said refs. Oh, it's one. That was not a flag. That's going cheese as per usual. I hate it These refs on team keep it clean. Hey, yeah, Patrick Queen did blow it up, man But if those penalties keep coming like that Horrible calling D refs gifted them three points. Good defense. Oh, yeah, really good defense Please fire Todd monkey. Oh, yeah, you chose They owe us two Yeah, too. We got to keep keep a counter keep make sure we keep a counter So that's important. That was more that got stuff. Oh, that was him that called the pass. Oh Okay, I didn't know that I didn't realize that. Okay So we got a couple of uh, should have been Ravens and we got a couple of former Ravens We got some possible could be Ravens. Okay All right, I like that appreciate that. I didn't realize that Loving what we're seeing with Stevens this year. Marlowe said he's playing at pro bowl level. Yeah. Yeah. He been nice, man D hop ran into Marcus Williams Hey Here's what it is, man Here's what it is. Do we see a flowers touchdown today? I mean, I've been thinking that ever since week two, but we ain't got it yet. So I guess we'll see when we see it. It'd be nice, but we'll see when we see it Crowd in England sounds behind the Ravens That's a lot of Ravens fans been saying they've been saying there's been a lot of Ravens out there a lot of purple out there uh out in london, so Oh, you see a cute Mitchell touchdown. Okay Mitchell hasn't gotten in yet on offense. He was in on special teams in the return game, um Channel 11 Anthony Richardson out for the season. Yeah, they said he might be out for the season They said he's probably gonna be out for the season because he might have that season ending Surgery he might get that because they said he done got a couple of different opinions and stuff and that's what it's probably looking like so Todd ain't the issue see last week Lamar was supposed to have like four pass and touchdowns Ravens got a score touchdowns refs acting crazy. Yeah, man. I appreciate that donation too by the way James. Thank you, man But yeah Todd Todd been so far so good, man Sometimes he get a little uh, he get a little screen happy, but not easy. He's straight though, man Oh dude. Whoa dude. Whoa dude Whoa dude Oh, I'll be doing the same thing it mattered, man. And that's that's what the commentator to be like. Oh, well Maybe here at what regrets coming out of the end zone with that one probably should have taken the knee So that's all good, dude It's all good, man It's all good Dove lost a step. I don't think he lost a step. But again, remember do vertical Good stuff But lateral. No, that's not his game like that. Well, you know, I can't say that in the return game That's not his thing. But when you get him running Uh, like with the the jet sweeps That's dude right there. All right, Gus. Gus said i'm about to get these little tough three yards, man All right, I see Morgan Moses out there I see it. Yeah, John Simpson definitely should be back by now. He should I think he probably already came back earlier so It's good, man. It's good having a starting offensive line um Look at that. I see a bills jerseys. See dolphins jerseys. See cowboys jerseys. See seahawks jerseys I'm like, hey, they're fans over there because they they take advantage because they like look We don't get to see the NFL too much over here. So they they're like, I don't care what team i'm a fan of I'm about to watch. Hey, is that old deal? Oh, it's old deal. Okay They said i'm i'm wearing the jerseys that I got i'm bringing it out to this game And I mean you'll see that at games in the states too uh, you'll see different jerseys from different teams at those games too, but um Not as much as over there Because it's just different over there, man This is uh, I mean not Ravens, but NFL only play a handful of games over there every year It's been increasing more and more every year. Um, but yeah All right, here we go. I'm saying i'm calling mark andrews for this one I'm calling mark andrews for this first down. Let's go. Let's let's see what these boys are about to do 35 Lamar changing the play up. He said, all right. I see something and i'ma say something if you see something say something Is that oh, is that your ankle? Okay? Oh, your ankle looks good to me. I don't know now. He's still a little tiny bit slow, but there we go. That's that's what we need That's what we need That's what we needed We're a welcome officially old deal. Now you done made a play. Let's see. Oh Okay, okay Okay, all right Hey, he loved it He was that that was nice that was nice. He getting there. He getting there. He getting there. He getting there. All right Hey, that's what we like to see. That's what you like to see though, baby That's what we like to see. So all right old deal. We like it. Now. I like love Lamar said i'm airing this thing out today, baby Ooh Nelly. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Hey Let's get it man. The receivers they left them bad hands. They left them in Pittsburgh We don't want to see none of that. None of it. They left the bad hands in Pittsburgh, man Nice stuff, man. Good catch by Nelly Good throw by Lamar under pressure getting hit put that thing on the money man Lamar just I just I just hate like again football is ultimate team game, man And they could be so frustrated, man because of course. Hey Lamar making his mistakes, too now But it's it's extra tough but not just Lamar just for quarterbacks, too You could do everything right. You could do everything perfectly And if there's one slip up here one slip up there Everything can fall apart. All right Gus Okay Like with the drops last week so But all right, this is a new week though. This is a new week new game I mean starting at a new time 9 30 in the morning I mean even earlier for some of y'all even later for some of y'all depending on where you at Oh, that looked like they went. Oh, okay, Gus Gus was like, hold up. Did I really just make a cut like this? I think he was surprising himself how good how smooth that cut was that he just made Because he made that cut and he slowed down. He slowed down quite a bit after that cut I mean probably a little tired because making making them cuts like that that'll take some wind out of you Look at Gus that boy. Oh, okay. He got a little he got hit on that cut, too I didn't notice that so he got a little off balance. Okay. So that wasn't on Gus, man Good play though. Great play Y'all know me. All right. I ain't a big fan of the toss plays this but well, especially on third and I know that wasn't third down but I ain't a big fan of the toss plays man But it all just depends on when See that that's that's not my thing, man But hey, if it's working if it's working if it's working You got nice little four yards right there. All right now. They about to do play action on the second down They throwing They throwing for sure. They're not running on the second down. They doing play action Look at hardball. How about chewing his gum? That's that hardball gum. He should have his own brand of gum Oh, Todd mungin should have it too. Hey, make sure if you call the plays Todd mungin You ain't chewing gum and calling the plays at the same time. You don't want that gum to mess it up mess up the play call They got it. All right. He gonna play action They not running here If I know the Ravens, then yeah, they doing play act they throwing that ball Let's see if I know these Ravens or not And No, no, I don't know the Ravens Okay, maybe I should have known the Ravens Hey, I respect it though. Hey, they like the runners working so they kept they keeping with it But man, all right third and fourth. Well, they obviously throwing here. So Let's see it, baby Let's see it, baby appreciate all y'all in here too, man Thank you. Thank you very very much for being in here early to right and early y'all are up Up in Adam, man. So shout out to y'all for waking up early Or something shout out to some y'all for not even going to sleep Because of your work schedule and life schedule just life in general appreciate y'all Oh rishad, is this you? Is this oh, no, it's not rishad. Oh too far too far too far too far Lamar trying to make up for last week. Oh, there is two. They say we got we gonna get it. They say we gonna get it All right, so Lamar put a little too much heat. Oh, not too much heat. He just he floated too much He put a two two out there Put a little two out there Oh, yeah, yeah, that was un-catchable. All right, cool man. Cool. Yeah, that was on Lamar All right, so we know like again, we know that The offense can move so that that's a good thing. We know the offense can move um And we know the defense like if the penalties don't the random penalties don't show up Then the defense so far so good. I know it's just been one drive So we got to see more but the defense they They look good too. Um But now offense, all right, you don't have two drives. You got two field goals and you got right down there So now it's just about finishing all the way. That's it. So Offense looking good so far. They just got to finish. So Lamar Lamar missed on that throw that was on him Um, they they just got to finish now. So, okay Uh pay attention next time they show Todd Monk and look to the left. What you mean? Play calling is terrible I know OBJ was covered nicely and it could have been picked. Oh, yeah Well, I mean better to throw it too far in that situation than too short. So, yeah, now I get it, but um No, it's all good. Monk is inconsistent as a play caller Bate and mark was open Been one of the best in the league in the red zone before last week One throw in the red zone is predictable and terrible I thought see and I saw somebody and a couple of you said monkey is a terrible play caller I don't think he's a terrible play caller. Um, I do think on that drive Like like y'all, y'all heard me say it. I thought that um on the second down I thought they were gonna do play action Because the run had been set up so nice. It had been set up really good. Like the runner was doing this thing They were running running running. Uh, it was first down. They ran again. It was second down or something Okay. Yeah, they about to play and they ran the ball I get I like it It wasn't a terrible play call I probably would have done something different But I don't think it was a terrible play call. You're just going with what works He ain't that what a lot of people say don't try to fix what's not broken, right? Right? So No, I I don't I do not think Todd monkey is a terrible play caller. Um Did he call fair catch at the four? Oh, no, do they have that that annoying rule where it doesn't matter where it goes to the 25? Oh, that's so annoying It's so annoying. I I hate that nasty annoying rule Not gonna lie. I missed a variety Jiro brought to the run game Oh That was night just walking a conversation, man Monkey is not a good OC Oh, I do not like that rule, man I don't like it at all and I completely forgot This is my first time all year seeing that rule because I had completely forgot about it completely forgot about it Oh man I don't I don't like that, but it is what it is I I never liked it when they first announced it. Uh, this off season, but Oh He's trying to strip that ball out who that pq. Oh, no, that wasn't pq. That's somebody else. Look at 88 Was that 88? He got a little shot on pq OBJ washed. Why don't you say obj washed after a play like that? Now it ain't it ain't the obj of old now it ain't the obj of old because Why he was moving good on that? He's still like a little slow, but he's he was fine, man He's fine. It's much better than we see so so Points of points. Oh the the new rule that I was talking about is the um Say the role role fighting on Henry The the rule that I was talking about is where on kickoffs I think is it punch too? I'm not sure but definitely on kickoffs on kickoffs If you nailed a ball if say like he just did he he caught the ball at like the 10 or something like that And he nailed it if you do that. Oh you fair catch it. I mean inside inside the Is it inside the 10 yard line? I forget which which yard line has got to be but if you nailed a ball um inside a certain within a certain uh Yard line then it automatically goes to the 25 yard line That's like, uh, oh it's always only for kickoffs. Okay. Appreciate that So it's I just like Okay, oh see my guy QC say anywhere inside the 25 Okay. Yeah, Bateman got wide open. Oh, okay. Good. Good. Good That's good. That's good that he got wide open. Now next time Lamar just gotta hit him So I guess they they they trying to make up for last week though. They trying to make because you know That's the thing with Ravens man, and I know y'all know already but Ravens are a team They hear everything they hear everything and They They show that they hear everything they let it be known All the outside noise all what media saying all what people talking about whether social media Whatever they hear all of that and they uh, they respond to it Whether good or bad they they do respond to it. So Yeah, are we really complaining about Todd when we know a new offense is going to take time to jail from week one to now It's slowly but coming together Yeah, Todd Todd straight, man Nolly, what's up, man? Don't people don't know football You said no fake fans good with me Uh, yeah the listening Gus was getting fed Hey good or bad they listen good or bad, man. Good or bad, man Good or bad Ravens be listening, man. They listen to all that stuff. How come chief's offense not taking time but Ravens are Did chiefs promote somebody from within? Right, didn't they I don't think she's had an outside offense recording. I'm sure they they promoted a cubie culture So it's not that while it so they pretty much doing the same thing So they're not installing a brand new scheme like that or Ravens like right and Ravens have been getting there, man They've been getting there. It's They've been getting better and better. So let's see, man. None crazy the 9 a.m. Football. Hey, that's you're right. You're right I agree because this is different, man This this is this is very different very different All right, Marlowe 101 with D hop let's see All right, and who nice tackle even though he got almost the first got like nine yards and change All right Pick incoming. Okay. I like that. Oh you watching from the philippines. So for you it is 10 p.m It's 10 12 p.m. Right I think philippines is 12 hours Difference from well 12 hours difference from eastern time. I believe So, yeah, man, I appreciate that man. Thank you. Oh They brought tannaheel out there. Okay. They doing a little wildcat stuff Oh, oh, it's a flag. Okay. Okay Okay cool, man Oh, hey, Jamie.

Oh, it's it's gonna be holding then Whatever the flag is it ain't it ain't show up for me yet They they didn't make they didn't make the call yet. Well, y'all know i'm i'm i'm a couple plays behind a lot of y'all Oh, okay. Was that illegal? I false thought Illegal formation. Okay legal formation. All right, cool So that's coming back I'm not sure what happened Petite frair Oh, I guess something with that extra offensive lineman. He must not have been lined up the right way Let's see He's covering up the tight end Okay well Hey Well, there we go Because they they got a big chunk on that one now for that for that rule I don't know how that one goes I'm not I don't I wouldn't know how to explain that rule about covering up the tight end and all that No, no clue So, I don't know if it was a good call bad call makeup call or like a legitimate call No, they go christmas more. There he goes. Number 11. All right. Let me watch you Number 10 and 11. I'm watching y'all extra close now extra close All right, always third down. All right. Okay. Here we go third down Let's get it, man Third down, man. It's pq blitzing. They look like pq right there Okay, here we go Pq is not blitzing Oh, no, are they gonna throw a flag? Oh, wow, they didn't throw a flag. Okay. Hey, wow Okay. Wow. Wow. That's nice. Oh, it was benoy. Okay. Hey, show that replay because I didn't see it Oh, he hit it. Oh nice nice And he messed up the trajectory of the ball Well, that's why you got him. That's why you got him I wonder How y'all how y'all oh and your davian clowny. Hey, your davian. Hey, don't don't forget your davian clowny too I see y'all saying benoy. Don't forget about your davian clowny too because he got in there and got some pressure So it was a group effort Group effort. All right. Here we go, dude. Wow. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay Okay Uh, uh, okay, dude. Hey, there you go. Hey, we've been talking about hey, I said it We said it Dude, he ain't gonna kill you with the lateral stuff, man But that work that straight up game If if the blocking gotta be perfect now for dude to get off on a punt return that but that was it right there That was it that blocking was set up nice, man And dude straight. He just running straight. That's it. He had to do some little baby cuts But he just running straight. He did his thing. That's what I'm talking about, dude That's what we talking about, man. And great job on special teams, too That's what we talking about, baby There we go. He said put a move on a kick or a try Dude ain't putting moves on nobody like that. That's not his game, man. That's not his thing, man That's not his thing, man So All right, Lamar. Oh take off take off. Whoa. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay I like it. I like it That was nice, man They set it up nice They set it up nice Lamar Jackson on scrambles this season 27 177 yards two touchdowns Rush yards over expected plus 27 so fifth Very best all-time among QBs 6.07 yards per carry. All right, here we go All right, Zay flowers in motion and they snapped it Fake the handoff Lamar kept it Zay with the block Lamar with the first stalker. I like it. I like it I like it. They still starting to get a little more loose now, man Sometimes I take a little time and that's good. That's fine. Sometimes just take a little bit of time, man You're getting a little you're getting loose, man See and all the running that they've been doing with Gus Edwards early that sets up plays like that, man That sets that up, man. Let's get football a mental game, man It's it's mental. It's it's very mental, man It's a psychological game, man You got to try to play into your opponent's head and then mess with their mind and stuff And start having them thinking one thing when you really trying to do another So All right, Mark Andrews or Bateman who getting a touchdown right here, man Who getting a touchdown right here? Y'all probably done already seen the touchdown My guy Lenny said I'm way behind man. He said you got to catch up But yeah after the next when the next commercial break comes on that's what I'm gonna try to get caught up Because we way behind I guess cuz the game overseas. Maybe that's it, man. All right, bait bait or mark Andrews, which one, man Who's it gonna be beta mark Andrews? All right Oh Yikes Yikes, who's number two number two number two for the Titans Al Al share, I know I'm saying his name wrong I know I'm saying it wrong All right, man. All right touchdown, man. They need touchdown, man And field goal cool, but now they need touchdown. They need touchdown Points all they saying get loud. Oh, yeah, it is a home game for the Titans It's a home game for the Titans Lamar getting them ready getting them set He looking come out with an empty backfield Patrick card in motion or Lamar keeping he whoa yikes Yikes Hmm. All right. Well, I guess field goal is That was ugly That was ugly Okay, they just okay Ah Look like little Lamar chose the wrong. Uh, he went the wrong way. Well, it looked like he had a better option inside, but Yeah, I okay. I thought they were gonna get a receiver the chance for that one. Okay. I uh, all right That's okay All right, that's Yeah, that okay, so I see again, right Ravens again. They they get down there they get down there and They just stop So They we got to work we got to work on that They get down there and then they they fizzle out. So Yeah, no They took a carrying right now He should have need to but Yeah, it's Yeah, okay so Oh It's not pretty right now, but there we'll see how the rest of it goes so um Unfortunate man unfortunate I don't even think it was necessarily predictable. Well, it kind of was but I just Yeah, I just know I didn't I I wasn't a big fan of that call, but yeah Am I tripping or what where is mark andrews? He's there. He's there 89 jerseys. You're looking clean right now. He's there so Hmm Can't trust Lamar to throw those type in the red zone No, that's not it because we've seen Lamar throw plenty of the passes in the red zone And he don't turn the ball all he don't turn the ball over often in the red zone um Especially throughout his career But uh, man, that's all good man Field goals look like the the pre Lamar Ravens Oh boy, I was literally saying where's marking the situation Give a jet sweep or something Why we trying to be cute at the one all that for another field goal, man Use record Uh, should have just gave it a gust on third and one you got to get touchdowns off return. Oh, yeah. Hey, I forgot about that I forgot all about that See, I I completely like Ravens. Um Appreciate that ypc. Uh, I thought this offense was gonna be like the Eagles of chiefs not playing college ball with gregas. Oh, see I Let's see man. Because again, they They're moving They're moving But right now the problem is not is they're not finishing um I hate hate the coda water sugar stuff, but you got to think about it like that you see the defense Gave up three points so far Ravens offense first drive I I give them the first drive they got three point I give them that and I thought they might go for but they took the points. I'm like, okay Cool, no problem with that first drive. I give them that but the last two like you were right there It could it could have been 17 3 right now 17 3 17 3 it could even been 13 3 Even if you got two field goals in the touchdown, but I guess we're gonna see man We're gonna see man We're gonna see so We're gonna see All right attention to detail Hmm Yeah, they've been teeing off on Derek Henry, man. Well a little bit not too much, but He did break that big run, but they got called back So All right, let's see, man Let's see, man first and 10 and A little single back formation They handed the ball off to Derek Henry Okay You got about five five six yards Got a nice little chunk hmm Versus the stack box this season Three yards per rush Baltimore defense stack box for sense 25 eighth high and so They be having stats for everything they will have stats for literally every single thing Most players with single digits lined up in this trip formation 44% they have stats for literally everything man everything Good. Oh good tackle. Oh, everybody was all over that great tackle. That was nice Did they give Derek Henry a bonus yard? I thought he only got six yards on that previous play. It's that second in three Man they over here donating yards All right, third down man Come on Ravens Kyle venoy, what you about it? Oh, I know jadeven clown. He gonna make some nice plays today too. He already done made one I know you got some more. You just jc jc 24 I know you got it, man I know you got it. I know you got they ain't running the ball That's that's their pass catching running back. They ain't running the ball Oh, yeah Judeo Nice nice nice Tanner Hill got he got scared of jadeven because he said oh no 24 coming I got to get this ball out of here. He said we going Nice love it love it love it Wait boy, what what gino do? Gino made a play on the ball. What do you do? What I got gino do? Yeah, that is good defense man. They did their thing man And that's what it's about All right and the point Dove like hey after that first one he's like I gotta get another one Okay, okay. Dove with the mod the modest return The modest return mom got to give us some deception He can again the thing Moving getting the yards has not been the problem that has not been the issue this game They've been moving the ball just fine the boy. They've been moving the ball Down the field just fine, but it's time to score touchdowns Touchdowns man Fleet flicker downfield that'd be something We made it to among and for the more gun throw boners. They okay Like that best defense in the league or it's rocket sin. No clue Introduce our tight ends to London mate Brent urban has a neck injury really? Oh, man Oh, that sucks Oh, ronald dobby was in on that last play too. Okay We need touchdowns. Yes. They do need touchdowns I agree 1 000 percent You gotta love defensive plays. They've tightened up. Yeah Yeah They they they definitely have man They definitely have So Shout out to the defense League Harrison got to change that number 40 number super ugly. You think so? I mean, I'm used to it by now. I ain't even realized like hold up. Yeah, he got 40 and he aligned back That's like he looked he looked like a big fool back out. This whole and he'd been here for years. It's what 2020, right? I didn't even realize that this whole time whole time never realized he got number 40 But probably cuz he came in he was number 40. Patrick queen came in. He was number 48 Oh, that 48. That was yuck That was yuck marlin humphrey Remember he was 29 before Cool, then he changed to 44 Yuck, but just got used to it because it's been so long It's it's been so long man so Yeah, man, it's It is what it is and they're they're they're some nice numbers like Lamar's number eight. Justin Tucker number nine Zay flowers number four Odell Beckham number three Richard Babin number seven Then we got some ugly numbers Arthur Millette number 10 a cornerback number 10 yikes Oh, Roquine zero that one that one solid that they oh the 18 was ugly that that that was ugly So that I'll take the zero over the 18 any day Oh the dolphins play the chiefs this year I didn't know that I did not know the oh, that should be fun. That's that game is gonna be fun Oh, I liked I did not know they play each other this year and I know they play each other in london Oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna be paying attention to that. Oh, that's gonna be a good one Wow, oh, that should be fun. I like that Oh, man, I'm looking forward to that game a lot man Hmm who Ravens play on though. I think November 5th the Ravens play the seahawks. I believe I'm pretty sure But uh, yeah, oh, I like that I like that. All right, here we go Let's get it man mark. Andrew. Oh market. Oh, they could they motion mark. Andrew's inside. All right You're lined up like a receiver. I mean he is but here we go. Here we go Here we go. All right, there goes mark there goes mark My guy was just talking about we need to introduce our tight ends to london mate and there we go. He did it We did it We did it We did it. All right. Good stuff, man I mean lamar only had two receiving options and he found one wide open. So I like that He ain't had that many options, but the options they got open and got the ball Okay And the handoff to justice justice looking to cut up seat justice. That's what you talk about with justice That's what we be talking about with justice He made the most of his opportunities, man There just about every time man He'd be making the most out of his opportunity. I mean he'd be getting a good amount of opportunities to them But he made the most of it man He made the most of it So shout out to justice hill man. Oh, I see Odell Beckham out there Zay flowers. Isaiah likely Whew Isaiah likely that was um last year was something with him because Now why we ain't we ain't expect him to go crazy for like a thousand yards or something like that but As a contri, there he goes. They ain't they go scissors. They go scissors. We ain't forget They go scissors Justice hill with them crazy cuts man But would Isaiah likely you got to feel like it's been A bit disappointing but at the same time we got to keep in mind like Raven's got Mark Andrews, obviously one of the best tight ends in the league So that there's that he's a starter Isaiah likely is the backup um But still I think um, especially last year not not really this year but last year I thought he would do a little bit more a little bit more, but it's all good Oh, oh, there you go. You were a you wanted some trip. Oh, oh, oh, oh the neck course collar neck Hey, whoa whoa That boy says that you ain't going nowhere Let's see that boy said, yeah Oh no, that that was a clean tackle It looked it looked like that. That was a clean tackle clean tackle Clean clean tackle. Hey appreciate that cam. He said trying to be cute again Somebody was just calling for them to do some trick plays then. Hey, there you go. We got it You got it You got it. Oh, they flowers lined up in the backfield mark. Andrews. Oh, there you go. Okay, man. Hold up Hold up. He faked the hand off today. Oh, he kept it Oh, oh Lamar Lamar said, hey I'ma get I'ma get something out of this It may not be much but I'ma get something and it it looked like he was about to only get like one y'all but he ended up getting like How was it because it's it's 31 now, right? So he got like nine yards on there I thought he only got six, but I guess He was so far back Because it's like 31, right All right, Gus. All right, Raven said we ain't being pretty for this one. We're just trying to get this first down and keep it moving We're just trying to get this first down and keep it moving Let's go man We're just trying to keep it moving Straight up Just straight up. Oh They got that that Titans fans saying some not so team keeping clean stuff in the crowd All right So ravens lining up They got who that Gus in the backfield with Lamar.

They did the play action. All right, whoo. Oh, oh, hey, hey, he don't drop Patrick a car don't drop that boy Patrick a car had a he had to reach up He had to reach up for that one that boy said hold up Lamar. I'm a little lower than you think But I see Lamar had to throw it over the he had to throw it over the defensive lineman Good throw good catch Good throw good catch I like it that boy Patrick called Went up and got it All right. Oh, oh that was only three yards. I thought it was at least like four Okay All right, here we go. I say throw again right here I say throw that ball again Okay, they listening they listen Oh, okay, okay He got one baby. He finally got it, man been a long time coming man He got it. Oh, he got it, man. Finally, man. He got it. Oh, he got I'm so happy for that man, man He got it, man He got it. He got it Finally, man Lamar waited waited waited got it finally Hey, wait, you had to just make sure you don't flick that ball up too early, man They caught it and okay This goes a hey, they had to go overseas against they flowers a touchdown for they have you got to get it get it Oh, man Oh, don't call offensive pass interference Don't call offensive pass interference. What they about to call baby What they about to call? Yep. I knew it offensive pass interference. It's coming back Sometimes I do as soon as they threw that flag. Oh, yeah. All right. Kick the field goal Kick the field goal 16 3 All right, that's cool. It is what it is Oh Maybe if if Odell if Odell ain't put his hands up if Odell would have just like ran into him or something He might have got to wait with it. But you know what? I do respect the um I do respect the Ravens trying that because that's not very Raven like y'all know that y'all know Ravens don't do The rub route stuff they don't do all that They don't do all that That's not their style. Um, so the fact that they they did it on that play Then they got they did it. They executed it good too But that's I like that I like the direction that that's going in Oh, no, it's about to get blocked. Oh, I didn't even see it yet. Uh, oh, here we go Wow Wow, yeah, it really got blocked. Wow That is crazy. Wow Well, that never happens Every every once in a blue moon. Wow That'll kill the vibe Hmm. That's unfortunate, man That is unfortunate Hmm They they and not not even a field goal an extra point got blocked Not even a field goal. Wow. That's crazy. Okay Wow But anyway Two block kicks and back to back. Oh, yeah, that's true That the one last week the print I forgot about that a lot of times too Forgot about that a lot Odell tied it here in the talk Oh, it was on Ben Cleveland special teams not what we used to that's true. Forget that They got his first touchdown. Yeah So should Todd Munkin still be fired for those of you who have been saying that Munkin needs to be fired Goodness gracious. Anyway, um He said isn't that hard specialty It is I'm not sure what's been going on. It's been crazy, man. He said let's give Z1 touching. I love that So I literally called that being blocked through yikes No need to complain. We are playing a good game I called all Odell and told him what y'all was saying. Hey, well, we appreciate you making that phone call, man We appreciate that You see the immediate effort by Tucker to recover. Oh, you know Tucker Tucker has been the um He's the ultimate teammate, man. They act like little kids a lot with the complaining I mean look and I get like we football football fans gonna complain over stuff. That's fine but um but uh but with um He said yeah hobs on the hot seat special team slipper, you know how they don't know hot seat, man uh But what I'm about to say um Now you've been oh with Tucker Tucker always been somebody for years, man who if something goes wrong like on special teams if it's a kickoff if it's a Extra point or whatever field goal like we've seen it where hop all has told like no Hop up. He like I don't want you trying to make that tag Because Justin Tucker will lower his shoulder and all that try to try to make a tackle Like if somebody getting a big return or something like that Justin Tucker don't play man Justin Tucker don't play man So Yeah, man. Oh, but what I'll talk about with the complaining. Yeah, I mean fans gonna complain that that's that's what fans do That that that that's cool But a lot of it is just like in the moment and I get that but because but people don't be really like they If if offense has a bad drive or they don't finish your drive He don't fire top on him fight off into a fighter this guy this guy's terrible. He sucked And it's just so flippy floppy and inconsistent and a lot of it just doesn't make any kind of sense But it is what it is, man There's somebody said it was Tucker's fault. Oh yikes Yikes Justin Tucker at corner Hobbs is on a coldest seat. You can find exactly cola. He sure is Yeah, Hobbs is straight man. He he he ain't going nowhere nowhere literally nowhere um I mean come on there you know that like hard Hobbs is going and again, whether this is a good or bad thing Hobbs is gonna leave the Ravens on his own terms I Hobbs got diplomatic Baltimore immunity. He ain't going nowhere, man Hobbs will leave when Hobbs wants to leave And I know a lot of people don't like it Oh, hey, that's the first yaws deandre hopkins got without a flag But um Yeah, Hobbs ain't going nowhere. I mean, I think everybody knows that The head coach and GM are neighbors bro ain't going up. Yeah Hobbs ain't going nowhere, man. He like Again, like I said, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. He ain't going nowhere. He is locked in and that's it We could get frustrated with this and that we could talk about repetitive stuff We could talk we could talk about a million things and one and we could list a bunch of different reasons why on this and that But Hobbs ain't going nowhere. So That's that man. And we know that like we We are extremely certain about that So Because if he ain't going nowhere already from stuff in the past He ain't going nowhere there No, I'm cool, man I definitely got some frustrations with him from time to time, man, especially the past couple years, man um And I I've thought that Hobbs should have been out of there Years ago, um But I I realized and it took me sit when they gave him that last contract extension that they gave I said, oh, yeah That boy said hey, my arm is good. My arm is good, man. Oh, I love that. That was a beautiful play So much close plays on that one play, but um But yeah, man, how hard is he ain't going nowhere. What a play. Oh my goodness. What a play One arm the one arm banded Hmm Oh, man, if he oh, I wish he would have picked that off Oh Marlon got beat Unless they were in zone Marlon got beat That that tight end was wide over though. I wonder if they was in zone They they was probably in zone. All right, let's see, man All right, Tana here on the shotgun on 39 They have not got a third down conversion yet and it doesn't stop here I like that that boy pq man. Get your money pq. I ain't mad at it, man. Get get your money. Get your bread pq Get your bread and it's two minute one and let's go man. Get your bread, man You say finally some pressure. Oh, you mean this game because again Ravens Ravens to get that pressure Oh matter big a pq jadevian clowny Calvin everybody got in on that one Ravens will get pressure when they blitz when they send four people Oh, no, I ain't no pressure coming that way, but when they blitz. Oh, yeah, that's when they get some pressure But shout out to pq man What's up, Ryan sign pq right now extend that contract queen gonna get a nice contract from Atlanta. Oh Yeah, he gonna get it from somebody He gonna get it from somebody For somebody for sure man. He getting his bread. So Yeah, pq looking real nice. Oh, yeah Pay that man in pounds. Oh, yeah, that's I mean that's what if they sign a contract over there before they leave tomorrow Then yeah, that's how he would get it They trade the mar before they'd ever fire hardball That's that's true. That's That's the truth. That's a harsh truth, but it's true Like it harbors is he ain't going anywhere No on on some on somebody else's terms. No, he ain't going anywhere There is a queen and king on the field how appropriate for the london and oh, I like that. Oh, I like that. Okay. That's a good one The patriots will sign pq. So somebody somebody will pq gonna get his money regardless whether it comes from the ravens or not now It just depends to me it depends on what he wants It depends on his his desires Uh, if he's trying to be one of the highest paid linebackers, he's gone. He's out of there But if he's trying to still make a nice jungle change, but stay with the ravens Not be one of the highest paid still makes a nice money But then then he will stay So I ain't gonna be mad at him either way, man. I get it. Would you chase a ring or go for the money? the money A superbowl ring is great a superbowl ring is amazing and obviously you hope that you can get both Superbowl ring ain't paying bills Superbowl ring ain't ain't paying for rent and ain't paying the phone bill like and I get NFL players They make a lot of money. I get that but So that that's why I I never get mad when these players when they try to get their bread Why not? Get your bread man. Get get get your money, man Get your get your money, man so Again, soobos are great. It's legend. It's it's only one superbowl champion every year But Get your brain, man Oh, yeah, if they sold the superbowl ring, yeah, it could it could pay the bills. You're right. You're right He said i'm going for the ring. Hey to eat your zone, man To eat your zone I would like to try to get a situation with both but that can't be mad at either one at either one He said get your money while you can might not have another chance It's true. Y'all know it's a tough business, man You know, it's a tough business. He said you need the money the ring is nice, but it doesn't pay the bills He said boy, we got a lot of money ring you get more on the back end with a ring. Do you? You sure How much money does um, you remember anthony allen? You remember him remember anthony allen and i hate to have to use him as an example But i have to use him as an example the art does anybody in here remember anthony allen From the the baltimore raven superbowl team Well, we we got to watch this drive first and we'll talk we'll talk about it more at halftime As long as i don't forget i'll probably forget though. One of y'all remind me though Georgia Tech legend you can't make up for more for lost ends with old head endorsements. Okay. Oh a lot of y'all remember him What did he have a superbowl ring stolen or did he have to sell it? To get some money Because i'm pretty i want to say he had to sell it, but i might have been confused because maybe maybe he had it stolen Do y'all remember? But and i'm not trying to down him at all so don't don't take it the wrong way But i'm saying he was a superbowl champion. He was on that superbowl team He even made a key block even though it could have been called holding for jacoby joneson school on that kick return for a touchdown, but it's It doesn't mean you oh you're gonna be loaded forever. You gotta see it again superbowl ring is nice That's historic. You can nobody can ever take that away from you but i'm i'm trying to do both but Again, I oh there you go justice. Oh look at justice trying to get a superbowl ring. I see But yeah, man. I just no i don't um If I if I had to choose I would choose the bread man I would choose going after the bread, but we'll talk about it more in a little bit. It's third and one Raven's on they own Oh never mind. I go to play Oh, man I thought justice he'll had it I really thought justice he'll had it. They had me food. They had me food. Did any y'all get food? Oh, okay Oh, see big germs that many people have sold their rings that just showed you oh jamal louis sold his ring. Okay Appreciate that appreciate that fool the cameraman. Hey if it fooled me too If I was a cameraman, I would have been done That they would have they would have fired me on the spot because I I really thought that justice he'll had the ball I would have been out of there. I would have got fired overseas. No job That would have been a sad flight home, man Oh, that looked like false thought by uh, ronnie stanley All right time out time out time out time out time out time out time out time out time out Time out Is it here we go with the conservative play Where what you mean? They were just trying to pass the ball. Huh? What you been talking about? Where's the conservative play? They were just trying to throw the ball Oh, Alan his was stolen But even still and that sucks But you see uh, a lot of players just just because you were on the super bowl team It don't mean that you always gonna have bread, man You don't mean you always gonna have bread like that, man So I I I say go get your bread, man Go get your money. Go try to make as much money as you possibly can Uh while you can Because nfl it stands for not for long That's it. It's not for long So That's just me though Bet Alan can get free meals and ball. Hey, not even free meals. That's nice. That'd be nice And maybe he could never know Never know Nice nice throw nice catch first down Chris McAlister sold both super bowl rings one with the Ravens and one with the Saints Or he did Oh As long as the player makes small decisions with their money, they will be good in the long run That's That's another thing right there. That's that's really important them making small decisions with any money that they do make Because football whether you top of the rock if you on the roster you gonna make a good amount of money um Just being there Uh Oh It was pretty too. Oh, man. Lamar missed him though. Lamar with that jump shot throw That was a jump shot throw. Oh, that would have been nice, man Oh That would have been nice. Let's show the replay. Please don't want to see that again Oh Man, that would have been nice. That would have been nice Oh, man. Okay. Are you gonna make up for it? Oh, that would that would have been a nice I love that little jump shot throw All right, here we go 23 seconds two timeouts Ravens going for the money And Bateman is there Oh, no, there we go. We're just talking about Bateman and he just got a catch Because somebody was like where's our shot Bateman? There he goes There you go It's a small catch, but still something I'm two plays behind. Hey, it's all good, man That's all good That's fine. You know, you just two plays ahead. That's all that is I ain't two plays behind. You just two plays ahead But that's cool Finally Bateman got a catch. Yeah, he had one earlier this game. So that's his second catch That's the second catch So People act like those throws on the run are easy I think it's it's because with Lamar Jackson over the years We done got spoiled by a lot of those throws because he been on the run so much because the offensive line ain't been good for a long time But anyway, uh, we got spoiled with a lot of those throws because they don't seem to make them Over and over and over and over and over Oh, okay All right, they took that shot. So what do you do now? Are you in Tucker's range? Where are you at? Okay, I guess Where there's Tucker stout coming on somebody about to come on his fourth and three Oh, they said that Tucker was hitting them from what 65 I think Let's see Now Titans, I know Titans feeling themselves right now because they just blocked his field goal Oh, never mind. I see Jordan stout Oh, they putting the ball. Okay, never mind it All right I guess they they didn't want the potential of missing the field goal and then having the Titans have some semi decent field position To wait because you never know what could happen So they just they just doing the punt right here. Okay. Cool. Cool. Cool I get it. I get it. No problem. Oh Oh Now you now you get a field goal. Now you kick a field goal. Oh, I like that Beautiful. See all special teams ain't the only ones that can mess up. I like that No, you kick a field goal kick the field goal kick the field goal Don't go for the touchdown kick a field goal You kick a field goal, man Yeah, I mean you've been dominating this game, but I kick a field goal I would I would love to touchdown right here, but kick kick a field goal, man Kick a field goal. Let's see what the Ravens going just kick a field goal Are they gonna go ultra aggressive or they're gonna take the three? I will say take the three man, right Hold up. What's What's going on? What's happening? Okay, they getting ready to kick. But yeah, man I'm taking a three Phillips just got fired Okay. Yeah, hey shout out to Keith Mitchell. He said he's scared of Ravens two weeks in a row Upon the punt return to fumble the ball and gave you great field position Get to get the points. Let's go man two weeks in a row two weeks in a row Two weeks straight, man All right, and Justin Tucker with the field goal. That's a nice shot of Lamar. Oh, that's a clean camera right there, man That's a clean camera right there all right And well, some of y'all done already seen this field goal and there it goes. All right, nice way to end the half. I like it He said I would drop the ball too. Yeah. Hey, you see Keith Mitchell coming He said, I know I don't want no piece of you Keith Mitchell I don't want it. All right, cool, man 18 three could have been a lot better It could have been worse But could have it could have been a lot better a couple of missed opportunities Um, especially in the red zone just not scoring touchdowns But like we said from the very beginning of the game after the first two drive the first drive and the first then the second drive We set it from jump that the good thing about this game Even though the Ravens weren't getting touchdowns yet They were moving the ball and with them moving the ball they showed that they can move the ball They can get the ball downfield consistently So that's super super important because it'd be another to be a whole another conversation if they were not moving the ball Like we've seen in some games here and there this season. So Cool, man. Cool. Cool Um, this game shows how good our defense is this season Shows how good Ravens defense is this this season has Um, especially again the game that really did it for me was week two Against joe burrow and the bingles, man Jamal chase and t-higgers. Like yeah that that game right there. I was oh, okay Um, so yeah, man. This game could easily be 38 zero Could it be that much? Ah, I don't know about that much, but yeah, oh, yeah, and then that that's another thing too the um Ah, what was I saying the uh The Titans with the three points that they did get y'all remember them two penalties That's the only reason they moved the ball so far with them them two crazy penalties So well one of them if y'all saying that there was an arm bar that marlin humphrey hooked the undriy hopkins arm Okay, then that that ain't a crazy one But the mark not the market swing. Yeah, the market swings one It's like that's the only way that they move the ball down the field. So it's like hey, okay Where you guys recommend to take an away game out with the division What what what you mean? What you say that again? What you mean? Second half just finished the game strong go to my way. Let's get it. Yeah, man. They they need to um They need to just just keep it up. They need to play like a score zero zero Keep scoring keep keep getting points, man. Keep met you and see more have buddy shook. Yeah, he was He was scared. He said, oh, hold up. They go they go keep and see he said no, I'm out of here I'm out of here I ain't no nely was that fast his first catch today. It was nice, man It was nice, man Let's go Ravens They need to keep the intensity because their second half don't like us and they don't like the second half So, yeah, man Hmm Y'all saw that colorado stand for game, right? I ain't see it But I I kept seeing highlights pop up on my phone It's like colorado score the touchdown should do a sentence do a touchdown touchdown touchdown touchdown What would they they were up 29 zero 20 it's 26 zero 29 zero one of them two They were up big and it all fell apart all fell apart so yeah, man Second half hardball extremely conservative. Yeah, it's important that the ravens just they they keep it up, man Actually, it's important that they get better Because again, they they missed some opportunities in this first half So they could have put up even more points. Oh, it was 29 zero. Okay. Yeah So, yeah, 29 zero It's like at at halftime especially 20 like if it's 10 zero obvious at halftime you that's a close game It's 13 zero 15 zero still close game 21 zero not necessarily a close game, but you feel like yeah, we could hold it down But 29 zero you like oh man, we put up almost 30 points in a half. We straight. We got it And then you lose like you you lose Oh, that's gotta be like crushing man. And with colorado, man they've um They've obviously had all eyes on them With dion sanders being a coach and whatnot and then just obviously his style too The the way that he coaches the way that he is the way that he's always been The dion sand is like he always been running his mouth. That that's who he is He's gonna run it. He's dion sand is gonna talk it's trash, man But he brings a lot of attention To him that's how that's how he's been when he played for like autumn teams He played for we played for the falcons the cowboys the 49ers um the ravens I feel like i'm missing somebody Cowboys 49ers Falcons ravens Who else is dion play for did I did I miss anybody? Who else is dion play for? dion sanders Obviously minus floor to state, but who else is dion play for oh, washington? Oh, I remember that Oh, yeah, usc. Caleb williams He kept throwing all them picks man Y'all keep watching 96 brother Washington plugging up the middle. Hey, that's that's why they paid him That's why they paid him. Okay. I forgot about washington. I just remember the cowboys 49ers and uh Falcons and uh and ravens Washington state got spanked by arizona. He said hey, we don't want to hear that man What are you talking about? Washington San Francisco Baltimore Dallas 18. Okay, man. I wanted to see when colorado was up woke up Hey, appreciate you see him the goat. He said jeffrey simmonds should be fine for diving as a's legs on their play. Oh Oh, I wonder if that was him on the play while I was thinking like ze legs got a little twisted I wonder if that was a play that I had saw too. What's up, kimberley? I like how clowny says the edge You like it. I love it. I love it love it It's great man. Well, hey ryan. What's up, man? How you doing me? Yeah, Marcus Williams could have had that pig he could have maybe he felt like it was just out of reach But hey, he did enough man. He did enough Anxiety. What's up, man? Good looking half. Yeah, it's good. It could could have been better But again, it could have been worse too. But no, it's a solid man Solid Marcus Williams fully healthy would have been a pick. Ah, hey, that's something to think about too Marcus still playing with one on so glad we didn't resign juice man Well, I mean it's it's it's worked out. It's it's it's worked out. Um, I think the writing had probably been on the wall already uh When Marcus will his contract expired and they will no they will like no Because they show like especially with him being out of free agency so long They they showed us like no, we don't want him back They showed it They showed it revs have been rather how to london and say cheeky Where's rock you're seeing that's a good question That's a great question Let's see if we can play a complete game that that would be lovely Why don't I have the join button to become a channel member? It ain't showing up It should be under Under the stream if you already subscribed it should be right next to the name of the channel Um, are you on a phone or you on a computer? Yeah, either way, it should be right there Just look the colorado schedule. They probably don't win again and that that's that's tough for them too because they um A lot of hype going into this season and especially after that after their first game that they won um, but what what was the game that kind of slowed them down? Oh, it was the uh bonex was that or organ organ That was the one and I remember watching that game because that like and I don't hardly ever watch college but I was watching that game and I'm think all right organ they they started off. They were playing some real good defense. Okay Then bonex and then they they kept scoring. I'm like, okay Like they start off by but maybe colorado, then they gonna come back They gonna make a couple plays and they gonna come back Then it just got uglier then they got uglier and it got uglier and it got uglier kept getting uglier over and over and over and over Oh, and it was a nasty game It was a nasty game Hey, that's a great question. Miguel. He said anybody knowing tires Bowser coming back No clue man No clue Kayla winning the Heisman again Caleb trying to he trying to pick what team he go to man He trying to pick which team to go to I'm so glad bonex left the sorry Auburn Tigers Grassy was trying to radio but couldn't oh shout out to my god Tom Grassy, man That's my god. I don't know what happened. That's my god. Oh man shout out to him, man What's the cringe stuff on the tv or these are my the performance London fans saw queen and it was on the back of a Baltimore Raven. I like that man. Hey appreciate you. Uh z z4 Appreciate you. Ravens need that big time where I receive it like a jj I mean they got a zay zay man. He could be that But I mean wouldn't have wouldn't mind having another one Especially after whatever happens with old deal next year happens man. We're gonna see We're gonna see fan of grassy and uh, that's good sport. Yeah. Yeah. He go people man Tom grassy. He go people man. He's he real good people, man Kayla being on my home's mountain makes me lol Colorado moving to the big 12 where they should have more success Is the daffy coming back next week? That's a great question too a daffy away. Um Who knows who knows all of our outside linebackers just keep getting hurt Daffy away tires Bowser David a job. Oh What's what's going on with if you play outside linebacker for the Ravens? What's up, man? Like what what's going on? Oh, he said tires coaching lowkey. Oh, don't don't say that Don't say that He said more like a daffy away That's a that's some word play right there, man. Can we trade for the new hunter? Yeah. Hey, they could They could we stayed up till 3 a.m Well, good morning to you I know you when after this game is over. You gonna sleep good This half will be our best half in a long time. We do. All right, let's get it, man Gonna have to trade for an edge prefer the new hunter of Brian burns I mean either one Those Arizona all black jerseys a fight. Yeah, they are. Um It depends on what you want you want the younger player with a bit more upside Who's the ball of you go for Brian burns? You want a player who's a little older not older, but Still go play though a productive player the nail like you can't go wrong with either one in my opinion It's just how much money do you want to pay? Brian burns on cost more the new hunter of cost a little bit less so But either either way you I mean you can't go wrong Frank Clark Uh, free agent Frank Clark. So you don't got to give up anything for him um But I think he may have like a little history of something in the in his past I am but Ravens are a really weird because I know they were like Ah, they they're a really weird team, man Because I think with Frank Clark. He got like domestic domestic violence case. I believe And Ravens were like, they oh no, we stand away from that But then they were just really going after there's Brian heavy that year offered him more money than they Sound Michael Crabtree for so Yeah, anyway um We need a Charles Hailey type of dog the on defense. Yeah, don't get Frank Clark I was trolling not I mean, but I've seen a lot of people say Frank Clark though. Um So they got Frank Clark. Uh, oh no, Randy Gregory got traded to the 49ers, right? I think he got traded to the 49ers Uh, yeah clock don't cost you anything. Yeah him being a free agent. Yeah The guy who said trade roquan is insane I didn't know how people be choking We really had there's oh, yeah, they I forgot they signed there's Brian I'm tripping. I was just thinking about when they offered there's Brian years ago I forgot a couple a couple years ago. They actually signed him. You're right I do think that you're gonna get some playing time. Do you think they will ever run a wire receiver pass and who will be with Odell Beckham junior, you know, he could throw the ball so with him 2025 fifth round pick we giving up they said that was dark times. Oh Yeah, it was fun. I was excited when they signed there's Brian. I was excited. Um I knew he was older, but uh, I was I was still excited when he got that first touchdown. I was like, oh, yeah, but it just Yeah, it ain't it ain't work yourself out. Um, then there's Brian. He's he's going off on gray groaning So there's Brian. Welcome to the club, man There's in the Ravens was weird. Oh, yeah, remember Earl Thomas. Ah, yeah, Earl Thomas I had liked Earl Thomas as a player. I had liked him. I thought he was pretty good, man Um, they did say that he wasn't the best teammate They talked about how he would he would go rogue sometimes what they talk about markets. He just had he would go rogue sometimes How he would do his own thing So Oh, Eric Guero and that was Eric Guero was tough, man Because I really liked Eric Guero a lot. He was extremely extremely smart He knew everywhere where the ball was going to be he knew it was going to get the defense lined up But his body could not Catch up with his mind. His mind was 10 steps ahead of where his body was Because his mind as a player he processed everything. He got everything he understood He knew everything everything that was happening, but his body just could not keep up. It could not keep up, man He could not keep up, man So Well, it was cool, man. He said we always signed the old washers evens. Anyone remember Troy Smith? Oh, yeah, the quarterback fifth round pick from Ohio State But the quarterback he was supposed to be the guy He was supposed to take over. Um, he's supposed to quarterback when they drive their flacco Troy Smith was supposed to be the quarterback because they had cut What happened with steven? No, was it steven there? I think it was steven there the steven there either got cut or got hurt And flacco was a rookie but Troy Smith was supposed to be the quarterback, but then he got the tonsillitis They said he lost a bunch of weight. They're like, all right flacco you up you up so And the rest was history and it worked out obviously So shout out to flack Anyone else making bacon eggs at halftime or you making some breakfast? That's cool, man. Enjoy it. Enjoy it for all of us So the game is back on now. Titans got the ball Uh tanner hill handed it off to their running back and the tackle by Who's that? Oh, Travis Jones. I'm a 98 made the tackle cool, man Derek Henry coming back in the game on second down He running he look a little bored man. He like man, what we doing out here? He look like he ready to go home, man He look like he ready to be out. He said get me out of here, man Let me go All right So tanner hill in a shotgun. He got Derek Henry lined up next to him He observing Ravens defense looking like he's seeing some awesome. I let looking like he was gonna blitz But now he backed off Okay, he covering Derek Henry. Oh nice tackle roquan smith Hmm third down jesson four set was breaking some great runs. Yeah, he was that was 2014. That was 2014. Yeah, he really was man Justin four set was balling man And I I I thought that was gonna continue For years after that, but it ain't ended up working out long term Ravens don't have some running backs man come in and do that thing alex collins remember him Alex Collins he came in did his thing Justin four set buck allen. He was solid. He was solid solid running back. Wasn't the greatest, but he was solid. Um Oh, I remember terrence west it didn't work out for him though Get him, baby. That's what I'm talking about, man. That's what I'm talking about, man That's what I'm talking about That's what I'm talking about, baby. I love it. Oh, oh, that's another one. You about to get some money That's that's another one about to get some money What year did he start the channel starting look like the titans game from 2018? Hey, yeah, we did my 11 sacks. That was that was beautiful. Um This Oh, I like what jeff's revix said matabique has had a nice salary drive these past couple of weeks. Um We started this channel maybe 20 Maybe 2016 I want to say I think I mean, it's it's on here. It's on the actual channel. It shows it But um, remember this channel was this channel started as my second madden channel Because I you I had to open my old channel was madden Then we did some other stuff on there. But then I was like, you know what? I'm gonna start over And we started over and started this channel. We was doing a madden on here But then I was just like, uh, no, this this is not for me anymore So But yeah, it worked out, man It worked out in the long run So But yeah Oh 2019 was crazy Then you joined April to April 20 2016 Yeah, I got to look to see when the when the old channel when we started that one It's right here in 2018. Appreciate that, man Appreciate it. Bernard Pierce has so much potential. Yeah, he did man I had liked him. He was behind Ray Rice Superbowl Bernard Pierce the Superbowl champion Bernard Pierce. All right All right, man So DeAndre should have came here. Hey I agree I agree Mine your favorite quarterback Joe Flacco. Shout out to Joe Flacco. Yeah, man. That's my guy, man That was my guy. Oh, yeah, it was it was like a bit. I remember it was a bit of sweet thing when um When when he got traded because it was like wow, we'd actually trade in Joe Flacco because I was ready for them to move on and uh But when they when it was like official it was like, oh, that's a little piece of history going bye-bye I Hey, Jacqui, I would love to I got to figure out how to the I joined 2016 regular Steelers Oh, let's go back brand burns of Devonte Adams I would say burns If those were the choices, I mean either one, um Either one was uh Would be nice, but I think burns is the the bigger need He said you imagine D hop instead of obj It'd be nice, man. 2008 was my first year as a big fan. I would get a jump on board How did I go from behind y'all to ahead y'all? I've been behind every week. Hey Maybe cuz it's overseas. I don't know man Whatever it is. It's all good I joined 2018 versus Titans. No, okay Okay, oh, they out there doing tricks. They out there having a good time They were partying. They say hey NFL over here three weeks in a row. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa Keep it clean there, man I don't know what that guy was doing. He was doing he was doing all that He was doing all that dancing and then all of a sudden they show him messing with his zipper. No, no, no I'm glad they changed that man Glad they got that out of here, man 2014. Oh 2014 man. Yeah, that's throwback man Yeah, madden madden like it was fun, but it just uh It's one of those things that end up just falling Falling out of love with recording it. Oh, they go to screen That ain't really a screen. I guess But yeah, because I I because I still love playing madden now, but When it came to streaming and recording and all I just I that made me not like it Well, I didn't like doing that I just like playing it for fun and enjoying it and that was it So the channel was my introduction to youtube sports live streams never been on vacation with some of my favorite guy Oh for real But that's that's cool, man That's cool, man And that's I appreciate that qc Found your 2014 after all after that bucks game Which one? Oh, the the the five touchdown game for flacco in that first half Well, he threw them five touchdowns Then you talking about that game Uh-oh, what happened? Oh, he over there laughing. Never really just left laughing This You know either client or it was holding I ain't even been paying I've been watching the game, but I ain't been paying attention to the game We've been talking about all this other stuff Which is fine But oh my goodness Morgan mo is that cornerback? You wow you had to hold against a cornerback All right, third and what okay third and 11. All right, even Ravens could get that Ravens could get that All right, look at Odell. Odell like look I got him man. I got him. I got him Uh, let's see. Oh that look like false start on Ronnie Stanley That's the second one that I done seen on Ronnie Stanley But it looked like a false start Lamar just threw it away. He said we'll get we'll get out of here. We'll live to play another another down And keep it moving I guess nobody got over I mean, then he got pressured anyway So all right, cool. Time to punt the ball Oh, see more got ankle injury for it. Oh, that sucks Let me see Let me see baby Oh Brent urban it out. Oh, yeah, see more with ankle injury Wow, it's kind of weird. I mean Even though like this is the only game on right now. So the Ravens obviously getting all the attention right now But it's kind of weird that they are Oh, wow Okay, he's right. They're feeling them. Oh, what's the flag? What's the flag gonna be But somebody said just a matter of be gay with the sack He's a player that league execs had identified a few weeks back as a player who could make more in free agency than people think Oh, yeah, he gonna get his bread if uh If if if Ravens, uh, don't pay him, which I don't think is looking likely But uh, he gonna get his bread man because think about it, man um With uh with patch. I mean, excuse me. I'm Patrick. Yeah, Patrick Queen Just a matter of be gay like Ravens. They got some decisions to make they got some real decisions to make They pay Broderick Washington now. He's a different player than just a matter of be gay different positions even too, but Ravens got some decisions to make That's my point, man Hmm. I hate when monkey becomes conservative with the play calling when we have to leave with lots of time on the clock Speaking of matter. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we were just talking about matter another commercial Fourth feeding and third string running back with backwards toss plays Oh We ain't gotta chop my guy like that, man. I don't get how Ravens fans are so upset when we're up 18 3 things because um Ravens fans with the Ravens, they've been up before they've had significant leads before and 18 3 is solid. It's only 15 points though. It's two scores It's it's it's literally just two scores. That's it So it's not this huge lead. It's not this giant lead anything like that Titans mess around and get a touchdown. They're right back in the game And I mean they're not even out the game right now, but it's still a close game. It's a two-score game But Ravens fans have seen this story Before where Ravens are up, especially we saw it a lot last year. We've seen it this year too But when Ravens are up and they don't take control While they're up they have opportunities where they can take control, but they don't do it They have opportunity where they can go up more But they should go up more where they should really just be running up on it, but they don't do it So that's why Ravens fans are frustrated Even though they up 18 3 because it's not a big lead at all. It's really not Right now when you look at the scoreboard and whatnot. Oh, yeah, 18 and 3s up by multiple scores The other team only got single digit scores. That's cool. But It's only a two-score game. It's super close, man it's Fans upset because they've been in the red zone 35 times only 18 points John is being solved put up 45 points, man As queen said same It's queen said last week same old story Yeah, that's why raven fans are frustrated because That's what it's been. It's been a lot of the same old. So We just want to see something different. That's why I I said it this week going into this game that I think the ravens need they need a blowout like They need a blowout victory 18 3 15 points not a blowout in my now a win is a win But I think the ravens to really get back on it. They they need a blowout game like not even close Just blow it out the water, man. So we'll see if they can get that, man Here we go game back on uh Titans on Oh the seven Or maybe the eight they on the eight yard line eight yard line So they handed off to Derek Henry and And You got a couple y'all. Okay Stuff You're great when this team has to be coached to run it up. They haven't run it up since the mars mpcs They just got so conservative Oh, there we go now. They showing it five losses with double digit leads since the start of 2022 Eight losses with seven plus point lead the fourth quarter leads since 2021 10 losses when leading entering the fourth quarter since 2021 That's why see perfect timing Because somebody was just asking why ravens fans upset we up 18 to 3 That's they just showed you why perfect timing. They just showed you why Your question has been we already answered the question But NFL just answered the question for you even more. So I love it, man I love it. That was perfect timing, man Exactly solar timing is every that was perfect timing perfect timing That's why That's 13 reasons why right there hmm Them blown leads was giro's fault. Oh, it wasn't all giro. It was a little mix everybody. There was turnovers um There was bad players bad calls. It was just So bad defense. It was a bunch of different stuff. They can't put that all on greg roman so Now you see why we may have a point Yeah, man. All right, they ain't converted a third down yet. Let's keep that up, man Let's keep that up man. Where's your davin clowny yet? Come on. You davin get it get it get it get it get it Don't do it. Don't do it. Oh wow. Oh wow. They ain't throw a flag. Oh and there goes a flag Right when I said they ain't throw a flag there. There's a flag sitting there in the backfield They probably by the call roughing the passer It must be on matta bk because matta bk be roughing them passes man him or travis jones, huh? Who was it on? Let's see Oh, is it else michael pierce What that's what? Come on, man What is he supposed to do he can't do nothing There's nothing he can do. That's a terrible call right there, man Oh, that's a terrible call. That's that's that's a bad one right there I I wouldn't even if i'm a coach. I ain't mad at michael pierce for that. There's literally nothing he can do for that There's nothing he can do nothing You you can't even look at the quarterback. They're wrong. They're like there's literally nothing he can do in that situation nothing He's literally mid play the quarterback is thought just through the ball like oh man. That's bad Yeah, that's really bad Oh, no, oh they did a fake. Oh great Oh, that's touchdown Oh boy, wow. I thought about to be touched. I mean he was he was running like it was about to be a touchdown Hmm Oh boy, wow like Hmm That's terrible, man That's terrible. Oh That took a couple people out to play when Derek Henry faked it to that receiver But oh man Well good tackle by Marcus Williams because that that could save the day Let's see how these Ravens finish this out Tough assignment though, man All right. Good start nice tackle Let's Travis Jones. Okay. Good stuff second down If they if they can hold him to three. Ooh, that would be great I actually feel like that would give the Ravens a little momentum If they could stop them here or those some nut there Henry got some nice shoes I don't want to see them shoes jogging on the on the tv screen no more But he got some nice shoes, man No, I don't want to see them shoes galloping on the screen down the sideline no more, but they look nice All right, here we go if Ravens can hold them here To a field goal That would be amazing, especially after that big play that they just gave up Oh, no, that's that's that's yeah, that's way out of there. Oh, yeah Good job, Darby Don't be scared of the Andre. That's hey, that's my guy. But don't be scared though. You got you got it. You got it You got it. All right. One more play, man One more play Well, they try to give him one of them old school Deondre Hopkins jump balls Try to get it to him. All right, come on y'all Deondre Hopkins most consecutive receptions without a touchdown catch Oh Oh, okay, keep that streak alive. Yeah, we were let him get that next game Not today. All right. Come on big play right here huge play right here Come on. Y'all huge play right here tanner here and a shotgun. He look he got made a decision. Oh, yeah No, no, no, he slipped No They no man. Don't do that Don't do that Don't do that There's no way you call that. No, don't do that Don't do that Don't do that No Come on, man Oh, thank you. Man. Thank you Oh, oh my goodness. They really trying it, man They really trying it, man Oh And the deondre's he's the one making the contact They should have never been no flag in the first place Deondre was the one making the contact he literally was Engaging with the cornerback pushing the cornerback. He's the one making the contact. How they even throw a flag in the first place I don't get that, man That is crazy, man That is crazy, man Wow They really been on something today. This is crazy, man This is crazy Man But hey, I'm I'm I'm much respect to ravens defense because it was a tear remember Don't forget It was a terrible call that even got them in that again Terrible call got them in that situation in the first place remember because it was that uh It was that rough that roughing the pass a call that was a bad call terrible call But that got them there then that big run by Derek Henry Oh, man I really I really thought I really thought they was getting ready to man. I really thought they was getting ready to man But I thought they were getting ready to Wow, it's crazy, man but anyway, um Wow But this is why it's important for the ravens to score This is why it's important for them to put up touchdowns Uh, this is why fans are frustrated. This is why because Stuff is for one reason or another uh Teams will still be hanging around with the ravens And ravens they just they don't be blowing people out like they used to They don't They don't be blowing people out like they used to do I think the raven the refs need glasses Oh, yeah, maybe me and the refs got the same prescription with our glasses off So maybe that's what it is, man Time to air it out an rpo with Lamar Lamar time to put up more points Gamblin really ruined football refs ravens are pitching a shout out if it weren't for the terrible cause for the Titans into field goal position I agree You don't see Odell crying like this. Well, no, he did it on that one play He did he did do it on that one play, but this like This has been crazy. This has been really crazy to see man. He said trade for d-hop Throw the ball down field man. I'm sick of these garbage conservative nonsense He said don't like d-hop now Edc is a bad gm and hot balls being carried by Lamar shaking my head hot ball is a trash coach the refs turning The english off of american football trade for d-hop We need to get a touchdown here refs trying to help the Titans out Honestly, what are you supposed to do in the end zone? Just let the white receiver run past you even still with that the um The the corner the andre hopkins literally ran into the If you look at that play again, it looked like the andre hopkins was a cornerback and I was at darby I'm not sure what cornerback it was But it looked like the andre hopkins was a cornerback and ravens cornerback was the receiver Because the andre hopkins jammed him. He jammed him like oh, okay Maybe maybe d-hop might got some safety in him or something, but it's all good, man d-hop seem more interested in drawing flags and catching the ball When will refs be held accountable for their actions like everyone else in the league? Never Never ever ever ever Never If it ain't happened by now it never will ever Oh kivan leaving. Well, he had the ankle injury. I think All right offense. Come on now. Come on there See now it's a 12 point game. So it's a two-score game still Uh This why it's important that the ravens get a touch touchdowns, man This is why it's important. So here we go Time to move that ball pat ricard in motion They running Yep Okay All right, so that was that was predictable, but let's see. Let's see how they continue It's because it's not all about one play. It's about plays. It's about the sets of plays So that that was pretty predictable But well, let's see. Let's see what they do second and eight. They did get two yards So even though it's predictable it resulted in some positive yards not the most but not the least but let's see Second and eight. All right. Lamar in the shotgun Patrick card is not out on the field anymore So they must definitely be passing it All right, they flowers up at the top Nelson agolo on the inside with mark andrews and old del Is that old del bit? That's old del I think oh no, that's bait man my fault Bay Oh gosh And there we go. This is why Ravens fans get upset. This is why This is part of the reason why Hmm This is why And titans are titans got great field position Uh They right there. Let's see what happened Bateman ran stop come back Who oh look like a bad throw by Lamar Yeah, I think that was that was on that was on Lamar Hmm. Hmm. Oh and they dancing. Oh, they dancing Oh, that wasn't on Lamar looked like it was That look that that looked like that was that looked like that was on Lamar to me somebody's She said blame it on giro. Yeah, that that looked like that was on Lamar That's Bateman Lamar kind of bar high Lamar come This communication Lamar turn over again. Bateman didn't try to jump Bateman Let's see Well Hmm Oh, well false thoughts. They back up a little bit That's Bateman ball was too high. That's what I thought. I thought the thought I thought the ball was too high Bateman didn't even leave the Funny how you apologize by everyone Ravens got robbed extends to come on came through that was on Lamar y'all stop Bateman ain't showing effort letting teams hang around is gonna bite Bateman some trash start throwing the Bateman leaving them in the game Yeah, I mean, you know how it goes. That's the normal stuff Bateman didn't try to jump Here we oh, hold on one second. All right first and 15 Tana here in the shotgun. He dropped back there. Can we stay back to pass protect? Oh, he dropped it. Oh boy, because that that was getting that was getting ready to be a catch And now it's gonna be defenseless receiver. Oh, he's out of there. No, no, no, don't let him get up He's out of there. Uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no get him out of the game. Get him out of the game Get him out of the game. Oh, that's chris more. Oh, yeah, he's out of there. He's done for the game Oh, he's he woozy boy He woozy this this is gonna the penalty is gonna be defenseless receiver So it's gonna be a 15-year penalty for a first down, but hopefully all god chris more is good, man Hmm because he got he got whacked bad. Hmm. Let's see. So catch Oh Oh, yeah Yeah, that's gonna be defenseless receiver for sure He said Bateman 6-1, but play short. Hmm Oh, Kyle Hamilton thrown out the game Wow Well, his his his pocket's about to be hit too Oh, man, I I didn't know they I didn't know they could throw you out the game for one, uh Now it was a bad play by Hamilton, um I know they could throw you out the game for like one penalty I thought it had to be like multiple penalties for you to get thrown out of the game I didn't know you could just I know you can get thrown out for for one like that. That's crazy I ain't I never knew that I never knew that I really he he's still out there right now Uh-oh, he writing it down the ref writing it down. It's like when you get in trouble at school And you know, you better get suspended but You don't you don't want to take it, man Well, that's crazy, man. That's crap. I never never knew that Never knew that That's an unacceptable hit Now I know it was a bad hit Oh, Kyle Hamilton. I saw exactly what you said but um I I didn't know you can get thrown out for for one play Wow, Chris Moore looks so weird without the dreads Oh, man, they they showing Kyle Hamilton everything in detail. I think it's two for regular personal Yeah, I thought it was at least two I thought like I was the first one you get a warning and they'll be like, all right If number 14 does it again, he'll be ejected something like that But I did not know you could do it for one. That's I never knew it Wow So they definitely got momentum now. Oh, they got a touchdown now. That's gonna be touchdown Yep, there goes touchdown Whoo boy And there it is Baltimore Ravens doing Baltimore Ravens stuff, man Baltimore Ravens doing Baltimore Ravens stuff, man Ah Here we go Here we go Here we go Nine rushes for 97 yard. They really trying to help the Titans win I mean I mean With the penalties, yeah, there was there was some ugly penalties, but that whole series the the interception uh, and like They didn't even had to help the Titans there. Let's see Terrible terrible this was terrible, but It is what it is and hey, we got we got a five point game now Ravens were just up We just talked about a couple minutes ago. We just talked about a couple minutes ago Again, I gotta go back to that person's question Say, why are Ravens fans mad? Why y'all upset? We are up 18 to three This is why this is why This is the reason right here This is the reason so Yeah Here's one of these He's clearly hurt. So why is he on the field? Who you talking about? Who hurt? I saw somebody else saying somebody else was hurt too. Who you talking about? Who you talking about? He said we don't need no more London games. Well, it ain't finished yet Ref cheating international game Uh Oh Marcus Williams. Oh, what did he do? What what happened with Marcus Williams? Please take beat me now and put in Agilore I feel like DMX here we go again honestly Tucker should have Went for that three going to have time to see them being hungry no mercy No, I don't think that's it. I think uh I think um, uh, what about to see Oh, right before halftime because it was like I think 12 seconds left I think they they didn't want to risk missing missing the missing the field goal They didn't want to risk missing the field going putting the Titans in good field position to where they end up trying something They get a quick throw down field call timeout and they end up scoring three something happening like that You didn't see the one on tackle attempt. No Oh, what what play not the not the touchdown just now or was it a different play? Oh, what? One on wheelie Marcus Williams. You're helping to help me as a penalty. Whether you like it or not No, no, it it was definitely a penalty. I I get that part 1000 percent I was just confused on the ejection part though. I didn't know that could that could uh I didn't know they could be ejected for that Why don't we have Tariq black and laquantre? We're out there on the field the problem with field goals anything can happen later It's a legit penalty on cow but to eject. Yeah, that's the part that I was confused about Just trade Bateman Ravens about to give Titans a game Twitter is calling for Hamilton suspension. I mean twitter gonna call for anything But he definitely gonna get fine. You know, I mean, I'm glad he a first round draft pick So he got a nice little bonus being the number 14 overall pick number 14. Uh, but he uh He better get that bank account ready because he he about to get a big dent on it Uh from the NFL. You're definitely about to get fine for that one so Hamilton needs to be suspended. I have no thought on Hamilton because I got to keep it clean I think cow should have just got a warning Should have hit again. Oh, I'm sure that they will that's great. Yeah, I never knew Never knew Hmm. All right. Well, here we go Here we go Oh, goodness All right, we up by five. We need more but let's see how it goes Because it was stopped Nothing, okay Because Titans got all the momentum right now. They they they got it all right now They got it all right now Even the the the six Titans fans that's out there together They all hype right now too, man. The Titans got all the momentum in the world All right Ravens, I mean, they know you gotta pass that run ain't doing it right now So let's see Let's go a little more. Let's make this happen, man Let's make this happen All right They coming All right, and oh Oh Hmm. That was just off We all put that one out a little too high for O'Dell O'Dell was open to and it looked like nobody was on him Oh, there was chilling by itself We had the first two It was right there for the taking I'm all put a little too high though, man. All right. Let's see. All right And nothing There it is This this is what happens with the Ravens week in week out that we see um The mental the mental breakdowns, man The mental breakdowns The mental breakdowns and see with with with the Ravens They this we were just talking about this too. We talked about it. I mean throughout this week Um a couple different times, but Ravens have these When stuff gets rough when when stuff ain't going perfectly They have trouble getting back into the game They they have trouble recovering That's that's been their biggest struggle when when things ain't going perfectly and the adversity starts happening That they they they they struggle one second Hmm This is terrible terrible terrible Terrible why are we not using keep Mitchell? Yeah, the coaching looks bad. Here come Lamar haters. What is wrong with his offense? The marketing don't prove me wrong. Somebody needs to be fired trades need to happen Here we go again. So it's the same old thing Here come the Titans Big Ben was right poorly coached team. They trying to make it a game for London momentum is gone. It's over big choke 24 18 Game aren't even enjoyable anymore coaching staff is crazy How can we have all these great players weekend after week and don't produce? But everything is a reasoner at the end Ravens gonna turn around y'all keep watching the game Calm down bad coaching. He said I'm a Kobe of 49ers fan I'm all about to get this game away. You're doing too much Ravens offense needs a fixer flat. We wonder why hardball consistently gets out coached by Tomlin Hardball needs to be on a hot seat to play calling an adjustment We need to get back to focusing John needs to get everyone right I'm calling it no more scores and the Ravens end up going three and 14 Yikes Bateman needs to step up or step to the sidelines fire the coach appreciate that Najee we watching We I think he said we just watching Ravens reruns at this point He said You see Oh, man, how do oh there it goes Now I just said we watching reruns at this point shaking my head. Oh, I mean, yeah, it's the same old story, man Same old story. And you know the thing the thing that's that's crazy about it. We're not even crazy about it It even if the Ravens win or lose this game It'll still be the same stuff Ravens girl appreciate that. Is it me or has Lamar been looking slow on his juke's Yeah, it's it's it's been weird because there've been some games where He's been looking like a little bit slower like but some some games I think with the more he starts doing it the more loose he gets So I think it's just a matter of just getting a little more just getting a little bit more loose Even though it is uh, it is third quarter. I think he'd be a little more loose by now, but My patriots are going to destroy the Colts We'll lose call it how it is play this on Nickelodeon because this is so I thought that was a disney show. That's a disney, right? I think that was disney We're not even going down the field Uh people this channel is called team keeping clean. So please do so. Oh, yeah, if somebody ain't keeping it clean Just get them out of there. We just time them out if they they don't keep it clean again Then they just ban them. That's it If people can't keep it clean, I know I know fans get frustrated. We get that Well, if you can't keep it clean, yeah, just this ain't the place for you It's not for you Uh, this is dumpster fire The early red zone possession plays with some of the worst I've ever seen Ravens need a number one running back offense really Playing like this is a two quarter game the past few weeks. Hmm Defense is tired all the Mars fault put in snoop. I cleanly say fire, but Uh, this game is not on a One I bet one meal will lose this game likes I hope not. I hope you lose that bet. I'm not a betting person, but I hope you lose that bet and there goes Derek Henry. Oh, man Derek Henry really got over 100 yards on like 10 carries Hmm see and with Derek Henry it's uh It ain't even like with him Going into a game against Derek Henry for for me I worry about the physical part of it for Derek Henry like people really tackling him Um, like when because you know, don't nobody feel like tackling no Derek Henry But that's the part that I worry about with the Ravens like the short yard is the the two to three yards Him moving forward and whatnot him pushing that power forward and whatnot because it's Derek Henry But the thing whoo, but the thing with Derek Henry where he's been getting all his yards He's been running free. He's been just running free Like just galloping down a sideline and whatnot. Just And it's like come on there. So that was a great play by Roquan Oh, Roquan and Emily Harrison helped that a little bit too, man. All right, third down, man Well, I know y'all done seen this third down already Come on. Oh Ravens could get a stop here. I don't know man Oh, it must be Marcus Williams left arm. That's the one that's messed up because that's where he got that uh that long brace on All right, third and two, man Third and two watch they do some misdirection stuff. Hold on. They didn't Going deep Oh, Gino Gino read Gino read. Hey, we need the points. Take it back. Gino read. Let's go Let's go Gino read boy. That boy is slow Oh That boy is slow.

Oh, yeah, that's that's Oh boy I mean Oh, is he they look like that that arm was dangling Yeah, you saw Marla Marla Humphrey say wait wait Thank goodness for Gino stone, man Because I was a little scared when I saw that ball up in the air. I said, oh, no It looked like somebody running wide open. All right. Hey Lamar Bait is Bateman even on the field. Oh, yeah, he is he up at the top. All right Hmm, let's see There you go. Got some protection. Got it. Okay little dump off Okay, got like half a yard. All right Gino stone actually him Gino stone is cool, man. He's cool. That's why I say I kept saying it that you got you got to sit Marcus Williams, man If Marcus Williams ain't all the way right you got to sit him because you don't want him being a liability Oh, yeah, Marla Humphrey got beat Marla Humphrey had got beat Thank goodness Gino stone was back there boy because that Would have been a big yikes All right, here we go Here we go I think the corner back on Rashad Bateman probably thinking. Oh, yeah, Lamar ain't gonna go back to you He ain't gonna go back to you Oh all right, Zay God that that's what I would be thinking if if I if I'm watching the um Oh, they moving now. Okay. All right. All right. That no huddle that no huddle I think Lamar gonna keep it right here I think he gonna keep the ball right here because you could I know he's starting to really really want it, man He's starting to really really want it. So I Boy, do I do I know Lamar Jackson or what man? Do I know Lamar Jackson or what? I know this guy What's the flag though? I know this guy I know this guy. Yeah, I'm familiar with your game Lamar.

Oh Oh He tried it That was a great job by mark andrews adjusting to that ball in the air That was a great job by him because that could have been an easy pick But the way that mark andrews adjusted to the ball while it was in the air Beautiful job by him man. Oh Took a little shot too But beautiful job by him I don't really like the decision look like mark andrews got a little stone feet right there I get these receivers don't want to jump today, but Nah, y'all don't really think that was the best decision, but he tried it man He tried it because you know mark and he got that big trust for mark andrews All right, here we go I'm all looking why who oh, oh he tried he tried to do a little cut back. He tried to do the same flowers Mark and you big boy, man. They take a little more for you to do it Take a little bit more for you to do it.

Hey, let's finish man Let's finish we're baiting it Oh, they did a toss to justice justice Okay, he got two two yards two yards. Okay, cool cool cool Second down How how we getting a touchdown because they got to get a touchdown, man This might as well be the touchdown play right here. Just get it. Well, I mean Mark Andrews, you're busy right now. You got anything going on. You want to score up some points? Run it up a little bit I mean, what's up, man? You know the touchdown looks so far from here. It's like so far so close all at the same time All right, here we go Oh, that might be holding. Oh, never mind. Oh la ma la ma That was an amazing play by that defensive lineman La mama's has he must have had some of that food over there in London He must have had some a heavy amount of that food. Whoa 95 called. Oh my goodness. What a play. Wow That was a great play by 95 Oh My goodness. Wow Wow That's crazy Yeah, he must have had a heavy meal the night before Because we got caught by 95 See night. Oh pico 90. He got his hands on his head. He tired man. He like man. I just call Lamar Jackson though, man I I will be hype. I'm a defensive lineman. I catch Lamar Jackson. I'm hype I'm like, oh, yeah, let's get it, man Okay, see Ray Ravens girl. I see what you're talking about more now I see it even more now, but let la ma he just A lot some of the stuff that he does. I think well, yeah, we had Ravens fans be like we take advantage of it, man You take advantage of it And we don't we don't appreciate it because you see it so much and stuff like that Like that should have been sacked like that should have been sacked That could have been sacked that could have been stopped all of that But he's making them dudes miss making it look easy and first down Is I I really do believe that man because I know uh because A lot of the stuff that he does man I think Ray Ravens fans don't appreciate it man. A lot a lot of them a lot of them not not all there's some of them that don't appreciate it So yeah, man. Oh, he slipped on that play. No, still man still still that uh still He said we all people that was hating that lg lg lg maybe ace on stones in london Don't give up the three Mark ain't throw Lamar slow all y'all grow up for real. That's why you don't want to be received with Lamar You never eat. Oh, that's that's vet tech. Oh, that's that's that. Oh, yeah. Hey, you back. Welcome back, baby That's vet tech audio. Wait, yo, why you change your name? You change your name, but okay Hey, welcome back my friend. Appreciate you being up in here. There was a helping the helping all Lamar Oh, no, he don't get those. Come on. You know that they don't he don't get those He don't get those. I thought qb was supposed to throw the ball helping the helmet They better score a touchdown Ravens better not fold Like a cheap tent Louisville Lamar Lamar is awesome that young man right there. My goodness Lamar is a very special player for real, man Oh, they'll touchdown coming bro. Y'all was talking greasy about Lamar. Just one drive ago. Now. He's him Jack got to be weird last week. The wire see if it dropped five easy boats Oh No one gets those once you're running. That's why you pay him we We good. I keep Brock pretty Mark Andrews touchdown incoming. I do appreciate lj the ones that said let him walk in the off season Well, I know for sure. I thought he was gone. Well, I was scared man. I thought he was out of there, man Flex on what's up, man? I would love an old L touchdown. Oh, y'all were the Lamar scramble was him Derek Henry's gonna cook I mean he already has been man coaching needs to change whoever say Lamar trash keep that same energy. That's why you pay him It was helping the helmet. I need a Bateman touchdown here for confidence Oh, that's why I'm I'm a little worried about Bateman confidence right now, man Lamar read my comment and said hold my baby. Hey, yeah, yeah Rock you see Steelers fans quiet now Well, the Steelers fans quiet now because their game ain't all right. Who still is even play today I don't even know who they play. I'll take a Lamar touchdown man. Drew's another one for ze Lj just hit different understanding To be honest, I'll pass blocking his average. No, yeah, that's that's old news right there, baby Lamar turned up for the first time this season on that second downskirt I wouldn't say a appreciate you from va. I wouldn't say for the first time this season I definitely want to say that but It's it's it's it's time to get it going man. It's time to get it going and keep it going But here we go All right, so first and goal Here we are again in the red zone again Lamar Jackson faked the pass now. He ran got a nice little chunk of yards All right second and goal about four yards out from a touchdown Ryan Tannehill limping to the locker room. Oh, so Malik Cunningham, I think Oh, yeah, there you go. Number seven Oh, he about to get his shot because because will levis is inactive this game So, okay, I guess it'll be the cunning hand showing a little bit, but we'll we'll see Yeah, if he got the hell in on yeah, he getting ready to play Uh, yeah, we don't need no, uh 2012 When rg3 went out and then Kirk Cousins came in and got through and that's why Ravens got to put Oh, oh, I thought that was false thought at first Ooh, I thought I thought that was false thought, but it was just a record in motion. All right. Here we go third and goal, man It ain't been pretty down here all game. It ain't been pretty in the red zone, man It ain't been pretty and three points would give the Titans momentum If Ravens just give three points That would give the Titans momentum Because that would mean they got a big stop and it would be a one-score game All right, Bateman They flowers in the backfield Gus Edwards. So they flowers probably gonna be in motion And Yep, they flowers in motion the more snapped it The more Okay, you got that they're gonna go for it. They're gonna go for it. I know they going for it They're not kicking the field go. They're gonna go for it They're gonna go for it They're not gonna kick a field go. They're gonna go for it. I know they are I know they oh, they kicking the field go. I'm surprised I just knew they were about to go for it. Okay So this will be a well, they got to make it first. Let me just wait I just knew they were about to go for it. They said no Oh All right Let's see. All right 20 y'all field goal attempt I can't say it's a gimme because one got blocked already. Okay. There we go. All right one score game One score game they going against Malik now though But still One score game Oh Oh, I love Lamar ain't had his head braided in a little while He's he can't he can't find nobody to braid over there in london As soon as he touched down back in the states, I know he's gonna go get his head done man. I already know man I already know man as soon as he touched back down in the states He going to get them braids redone asap So, all right, let's go, man Malik is like Lamar. We're gonna see man. No, no one is open is making me mad We're struggling bad second half Malik will is starting I wanted seven but I'll take three because of all the times we left him out there and lost because of it Get to stop Run on first and second an entire game and it hasn't worked Let's go How about two conservative Malik Malik is not like Lamar getting tired of watching these same old Ravens, man I don't like it, but I think taking points was the right call Todd freezes up at that spot. I don't know what's been going on. It's I don't know what's Oh, no We got a screen limit right in the hold up man. No, man Yeah, I don't know what's been going on for With this game. It's been The weirdest thing man It's the the weirdest thing, but it is what it is, right? You know Ravens and backup QB's That's doesn't had a juice anymore. I think so Malik could be trouble. We have trouble with mobile QBs. He said why everyone saying Lamar trash This game could have been out of reach of it. It could have been that's true It's obj hurt On the well bj is we can't shrug in the red zone when we play good teams. Yeah Yeah, different names they play calling. That's why we don't need another receiver because everything Needs to happen perfectly for them to succeed I'm in my house watching the game, but I'm listening to titans Analysis. Oh, that should be fun, man. That should be a lot of fun I'm sure you're enjoying that a lot Appreciate everybody up in here beyond said Ravens don't even attempt passes in the red zone Malik did damage to us in the preseason. I can't keep doing this I think hardball is limited monkey Hmm Monk and play calling looks the same as Greg Romans. Whoa Lamar not trash is just gonna take longer than what we thought for him and monkey to start meshing Hit the like button. Appreciate that Ravens girl Our old line is so average titans defense has not been good against Iran yet. We are struggling in the second half Our red zone calls a problem Well, I mean, how would they been in the red zone four times, right? four times four to five They've been they've been down there quite a few times and How did they get oh, they got the one touchdown from the Zay flower? So I think they've been down there five times. I think maybe it's five times so Definitely been a struggle in the red zone but Yeah, here we go Here we go Yeah, come on defense Like 10 minutes behind that's cool. You you just 10 minutes ahead. That's cool You just 10 minutes ahead He only passed for 67 yards right and 10 he did really Wow He really He passed for 67 yards That's crazy. I didn't know that No, oh, hey Don't let don't let him get that confidence man. I'm a league winners man. Don't all right now Don't let him get that confidence man because He knows like hey, I'm I'm the backup this tanner hills team for now But oh tanner hill got the cart coming out for him Oh Okay, well, yeah, he done for the game Unless he pulled up in right this burger Hmm Oh, yeah, we got to get an update on Marcus Williams, too Because that'll come tomorrow. Maybe maybe Tuesday Uh-oh. Oh boy, please. Oh, thank you man Hmm That looks scary Did not look good for a second there Hopefully tanner hill be straight man. Yeah, hopefully he'll be straight Hmm. All right, where we go? Little under 12 minutes left Ravens made this a raving game. So Malik Willis got a first down on his first play. Well second play, but So you already got the his first first down out of the way So the confidence could be moving up, but you got to find a way to break it Oh, yeah, there it is. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah There it is. Yep Okay Okay Like that pocket collapsed, but he made it out of there, man He made he made it out of there, man Yeah, man a bk coming from there. Yeah, Travis Jones. You have a noi behind him Hey, he made it out of there man got positive yards Okay Say oh, that was only three yards. I thought it was a little more but still positive yards Second and seven. Oh boy. It's like with the Ravens like you just It gets so used to all this man Oh, I don't think we should be Well, you just get so used to all of this. Oh Good job stopping Derek Henry on that play Good stuff All right, third down man There's like third and eight. I think he might have lost the yard on that play Let's see. I think it's third and eight All right, big third down right here Going against what it did. We in the second year, right? Malik Willis, I think In the second year, I believe. All right. They put they get together Oh, gosh Oh PQ man Man, I'm gonna be so happy for PQ. He get his bread, man He he is getting money, man He getting money, man PQ getting his bread, man That should have been a sec, but it obviously wasn't a sec, but man He getting his bread Oh, they going for oh So they were going for that first Hmm It's so important that the Ravens uh with this drive That they um Oh, we call it fair catch Okay Oh, it's a very important drive, man Hmm It's it's it's important that they they do something with this. They don't don't don't waste it Don't waste the opportunity Because that that wouldn't be good wouldn't be very good at all So we'll see we'll see Little little nervous about them because you know, they they like doing silly stuff, but We'll see you, man We're gonna find out in a little bit what these Baltimore Ravens end up doing The queen helped. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to queen, man Pro Bowl Geno Hopefully he being a different bowl, but Raven's got a lot of tightening up to do before they Get to that kind of bowl. So we'll see Hmm Deandre Houston Carson getting elevated next game Oh, yeah, we did sign him back. Didn't we? I forgot about that flowers don't exist anymore The Rockets in signing hasn't panned out. I wouldn't say that. He just ain't been out there like that When he been out there, they ain't been solid. We don't be out there like that And it's weird. I don't know what happened. Um because It was weird because he got hurt in the offseason, but then he came back he came back late in the offseason Um, they have signed ronald dobby They still have Brandon Stevens and those two guys. They played a lot And rocket scene will get in a little bit then like I think he was getting in like a little bit less week by week And I don't know what it is though. I don't I don't know what it is so I don't know. I don't know One thing I would say by the Titans they play Ravens every time every time It's time for the martyr in the game. That'll be nice Hamilton will destroy middle league willis There's one touchdown ice it I think we need to be careful how we speak on the Ravens. We really be speaking negativity into existence No, that's that's not it. I nothing that anybody says on the chat It does it does not have any impact on what happens with the Ravens at all It it doesn't because I mean you hear people say we get ready to go a touchdown The Ravens turn the ball over we get ready to go a touchdown Ravens get a field goal. Oh this guy get ready to get it goes to somebody yet. So I mean It that like anything that we say positive or not It doesn't it don't have anything to do with the Baltimore Ravens. We we can we expect certain things to happen and whatnot We um, we we we think like oh, this is gonna go down. That's gonna go down We and we try to predict stuff that could happen, but I mean that that that's it. That's just so good. So I miss hollywood against the Titans. Oh, man lbj the great receiver of all time All right, here we go, man Here we go. Zay flowers somebody was just saying he don't exist and Lamar was like, hold up Now, let me get my guy to ball. He does exist. There goes a flowers on that screen pass me Okay, I like active on the field. What's this? Oh about Lamar Yeah, Lamar like uh, when he be running it seemed like he he ain't been going full speed yet But he ain't I mean he really had too much of that straight line to go full speed, but He ain't been going he ain't been going full speed yet Not yet All right, here we go All right, second and twos they flowers in motion and handed off the gust gusts. Oh, okay How about say he had the first and then like it looked like he lost it for a second, but he got it He got it. So first down first down First down huge drive right here, man hmm huge drive It's so important Because Malik Malik uh will is he like look waving they pass rush They may get back there, but I just make them all miss and keep it moving So they they they can't give them back the ball man They got to get points man. Oh gusts nothing stopped stopped stuffed and more Hmm All right second and 11 You got to add this thing else. Hmm. They flowers Okay I'm on the shotgun with gusts And why Oh mark. Oh, yeah, he's disrespecting. Oh, he pointed at her Oh, okay. Mark Andrews with a disrespect Mark Andrews with that disrespect Man, he caught the ball on him and pointed at him. Oh, they were playing zone. Huh. Oh, yeah Oh, oh, because he tried to lodge it out of there Mark Andrews said I got it and then said excuse me. It almost like mark. Andrews is gonna still keep running After he uh broke off a zero, but he went down. Okay. Good play. Good play Good play by money mark Lamar to mark nice All right gusts with the Okay, okay Using gusts as the closer gust gusts ain't got loose like he uh He normally does it's average ain't so high. Oh, how about stressed out man? How about just took that deep sigh like Please He said please Said please can we get out of here with a win? Please I'm trying to go four and two. It wouldn't be a pretty four and two, but hey, it'll be four and two So be much better than three and three much better than two and four could be a lot of things. Oh my goodness There was a miscommunication if I ever seen one Oh, what just happened? Hmm It was a miscommunication if I ever done scene one I be want to see these replays for these these plays like that like right away But That's okay Good like mark angeles was blocking Lamar through it like they they wasn't on the same page man Here we go. Oh Okay, Lamar. Oh, yikes Here we go Here we go There we go And what's that flag gonna be What's the flag gonna be? Your defense look like you pointed to the defense. Oh legal contact. Oh, that's the first down Yeah, you accept that you accept that take your first down Because I mean the little added rushing y'all would be nice, but Lamar ain't get the first He was close to the first but he didn't get it All right first down So first set of downs and now you have the opportunity. You just get that clock moving again too So well, we got five penalties for 69 yards. They got five for 35 Five for 35 All right, appreciate y'all being in here too, man. Make sure you leave a like on the video I don't think we talked about that this whole stream, but make it make sure you leave a like on the video all right Little trips formation to the right The more Jackson looking they probably gonna hand it off to gusto. It's first and 10 Oh, okay Zay Zay with the uh, oh man. I thought I thought he's gonna fit right in between those two defenders and and and make them miss I really did man. I thought he was gonna get through both of them if they were looking like it real quick Who oh hey, he sees you saw a bait. That's how you jump for the ball, man Oh, man, shout out to Zay flowers, but hey appreciate that cam. He said has supermaul return We'll see we're gonna see we're gonna see we're gonna see They're moving though. They're moving consistently so that's that's good There we go And he handed off to gusts Okay. Yeah, they them titans been like look gusts. That was ain't about to go off on us We ain't gonna let it go down 31 Keep doing what you've been doing hold it down. Oh, they call time out The clock is ticking there The clock is ticking there, man So Oh, it was averaging 2.6 You always pray carry You're getting a good chunk of carries. Oh, you got 16 carries. So that's good But yeah, you're averaging 2.6 just to see what average in 4.4 hmm I'm surprised that Keith Mitchell ain't getting no uh He ain't getting no carries here, but I guess they figure, you know what? We're just we'll run with our guys right now We're on our guys gusts and justice for now. Let them do their thing All right, 31 I mean, I feel like the obvious thing here would be uh, just giving it to gusts let them go up the gut um I wonder if they would do a little play action do a little roll out try to catch the titan slipping a little bit Try to just catch him off guard and instead of doing the the the predictable thing Oh, never mind. He ain't doing no play action from that. Oh, they did the mark andrew's play and they did not get it That does not look like a first Look like he gotta stop just short Well, maybe if they uh do it from the from the tip of the bowl, maybe it'll be over the first down marker It ain't look like it was the first down though So we'll see Oh, he looked like you trying to call it look like hobo was trying to call them off He did the mark andrew's play them titan said. Oh, no, we ain't biting on this They said no thanks. He said, do you know who your offensive line is and you trying to do that play behind them? He said no, man. We stopped in all of that so all right Hey, you know what you know what I really appreciate about ze flowers, man On them gritty plays like that like the one we just watched They be having ze flowers in on those plays, man So you would think all right ze flowers Why receive a smaller stature? What they gonna have him in on a on a play like that? We're even just got to get a couple of yards and push the ball for but they be having him in on those plays, man And I like how they they ain't afraid of no contact man. You get after it man Love that so It's always nice to see you man Love it. All right, here we go. All right What what's what's the hold up right now? What's what's what is it that's taking uh What is it that's taking long? What's what's what's what's going on right now? Are they doing they they they not doing no measurement, right? You're not doing the measurement. What are they doing? Well, they trying to see how far the fourth down is Man, it didn't look like you got it Is what what just happened? Is he oh, he all balls challenge in the spot I will keep that challenge. It did not look like mark. Andrews got it. I know how ball can't see it on a tv, but All right, keep keep keep that one in your pocket just in case man Keep that one in your pocket Oh, yeah, kick the field go smart. Okay. Good job. Good. Great job Take the points. There we go. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Put it back in your pocket. Hold this Just keep that one Keep the key. Yeah, mark. Andrews. I know he he wanted the stats. He wanted the first down No All right, it's a big field goal right here huge field goal right here And Okay, he got it nice. All right, cool He said, oh my we did something smart. He said finally hope I made a good decision Best player on the team should have gone for it. No, no, baby And hey, they could have got it But now now you up two scores with four minutes left against the second year quarterback Who um, who doesn't have much experience. So you got an advantage. Uh, but Yeah, this uh John is stressed and nervous and scared I mean John is a Ravens fan like that's how Ravens fans feel every week. Imagine being the head coach of that team Mark said, what am I gonna do with the rest of my day? I'm lost. I'm lost on this football Sunday. Enjoy. Enjoy it I first hope that the Ravens win because they still gotta finish because we hey, they got what is the not 10 point What is the 10 point 11? Okay. It's 11 11 point Lee They still got to finish. We don't seem to Ravens do some stuff before so Hey, like Yeah less Yeah, so but first hope that they win and in regardless of what happens whether they want to lose Just go enjoy your day Enjoy your day, whatever you about to get into Go relax Go get go get some brunch or something Go out to eat with friends family. Let's go have a good time, man Regardless of what happens in this game All right, so here we go Oh, he's a yeah, he in Hawaii. Oh, he living. Oh, it's it's only 10 a.m. Where you at. Oh, man Oh, oh, yeah It's only 10 a.m. Oh, see we in colorado or something Hmm So it's super. Oh, you you woke up super early Hmm All right, here we go first and 10 four minutes and 16 seconds left What a game. This has been man. This is uh Hasn't been the most fun game But it's it's it's the Oh Look at my guy jc 24. That's my guy, man There he goes There he goes There he goes. He finally finished. I mean he he finished somebody else's sack, but he got it He got it. So Calvin always started it. My god, you're davian clown. He finished it Love it love it Love it That's how you do it, baby That's how you do it. Look at Marlon Humphrey. Marlon Humphrey like I look I ain't I ain't about to give him no game when they touch down this week He said no sir What's the flag now? Here we go another flag another flag illegal hands to the face or illegal contact who is always on marlon Humphrey and Oh Okay I've I've seen that. I see that a lot week to weekend. I don't ever see it get cold. Um Okay, whatever. I mean I like I'd know the call like you you ain't supposed to make contact with them after five yards Wow That's okay. That's okay It ain't the worst call. Well, I ain't the worst call. We obviously we obviously seen a lot worse even in this game alone But I mean it is what it is It is what it is Oh, man Look at league taking off that boy took off boy Hmm Oh 49ers and browns fighting what they fighting for why they why they mad at each other We just got to get along man. We got to get along Okay All right, three and a half minutes left Oh Oh What's the name? I I can't think of his name right now I think just a matter of being gay. He was pushing that pocket just now Oh, they say they say Derek Henry. Just come on out. Come on out for the rest of the day I said just your day is done. They said we're just gonna protect your safety Because he's not the past catching back. They don't use him as a past catching back They got other backs for that and it's been that way for years. They never use him as a past catching back Um, so that's that's why Derek Henry just on the sideline right now. You're like, oh, we're not running Okay, I ain't getting in there We ain't running the ball or ain't ain't nothing for me to do this. Hmm It's my offsides They're trying they trying to assist the Titans and moving down the field. Oh, not my god, you're David Not my god, you're David Oh, oh, and he knew it too. He knew it too. He said, oh Inside the helmet you go tell he was disappointing himself He said, oh All right. Well first down for the Titans Little under three minutes Okay Okay, my league Willis. Oh, you're davian almost. Oh, well, never mind come at a bk He said he is not mr. Almost And he finished That's the one that he missed earlier Okay I like my league Willis. He like, uh He get it, man He he's trying to keep this thing moving. He's still trying. I respect it, man And you got to you got to respect it All right, here we go And oh touch him touch him Oh, okay, roquan Roquan boy, you better be smart. He over there playing the clock Wow. Oh, yeah, that's that's getting the two minute one of y'all ain't getting no playoff Wow, roquan smith he's smart Whoa Wow That was nice That was a great play, man 23 is rockin sin. Ro needs to be head coach situation awareness is smoking Why is this game sad? I I think um, I know for me I I expected more I expected a lot better from the Baltimore Ravens this game um And they just they didn't deliver They didn't deliver at all They well, they didn't deliver on what I expected them to do. Um I thought I I felt that they were going to win but I felt like It needed to be a convincing win Uh for them to really be like, all right, they back on track the ravens are back officially but And I ain't complaining over no win now And I mean they still got to get the win the game ain't over officially yet, but um Um Yeah, they just A lot of the same stuff just keep going on man A lot of the same stuff, man A lot of the same stuff. Yeah, exactly Chris said I expected more points for the ravens Jonah said, I know when we're gonna get it right Let's see, not explosive, but at least the drops are going Well, yeah in this game they were going so it started off with some explosive plays because obj nelson agilore It started off like that, but Uh all that like slowed down big time so That was yeah, that was brilliant by roquan smith. Mm-hmm Nothing will ever change in this depressing I don't know Bateman is a bust and always a bust. He said no fumbles from the mark. Hey, so we'll take we'll take the uh any wins that we could get For sure. We'll take any positives that we can get for sure. So that's That's real right there. It's london. I take the win We never played good in london. I've only been there two times Like I can't say they they never do something good. They this is their second time going over that I can't say they never played good in london, but because it's not as like there's no patterns Beautiful football IQ. Yeah, man. No drops plus no fumbles equals wins. Hey There it takes we just got to get the interception Again, I I thought it was lemar. I know a lot of people saying it was bait My guys said they a you he said bait ain't show no effort on that play Said it was whatever played by bait. So I want to see that replay But still uh So there was still that turnover But um, you know often the the red zone offense Oh, it was disgusting. But anyway, here we go Nice screenplay from the titans and this is big. Wow. Wow. That might be a touchdown Oh my goodness. Wow With these ravens it ain't over till it's over, man It ain't over till it's over with these ravens, man They look at it. Mike rabble done took off the headset and all that. This thing ain't over, man What what's going on now? Did the ravens call time out or something? Like what's happening? Oh, oh, like the old like ravens tackling from last year That's that's that's ravens tackling. That's that's ravens 2022 tackling. Oh, rocon got pushed on his behind They said ain't no football IQ for this. Yeah. Yeah. Ain't no smarts can save you from this Oh, man Wow That's uh, yep These ravens, baby Raven's gonna find a way, man They're gonna find out there. Can't be jealous. He's so jealous right now, man He jealous. He said I wish that was me, man Hmm Be ravens boy. They they are going to find a way Hmm And now they in position Where worst case scenario for them if they if they don't get a touchdown, which they probably will it's looking like it But if they don't get a touchdown Then they kick a field goal. It's a one score game and they go for the onside kick. Well, let's see what they do, man Let's see what they do They on the six yard line league willis got all the confidence right now. Oh Nice plays every noi What's the flag What's the flag? Oh, here we go, man What's the flag? Oh Defenses holding Arthur Millet. Hmm All right, so they get another first down there Hmm, let's see if it was a legitimate call. All right little press Oh Well, okay. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, he just want to give him a little hug Show me a little extra love today, man Arthur Millet must be just being a good move and because yeah, he was hugging him. All right Watch the Andre Hopkins, please Yeah, it's your davian clowny. He got another one There we go. That's my guy right there, man See Raven should have listened to me a long time ago when I said to bring in clowny, man Long time ago Oh, oh too far too far. What? Don't do this My goodness, man. This is just this this this this is just one of them games, man It's it's just one of them games, man Oh my goodness. Here comes Derek Henry probably now, man Here comes Derek Henry here comes Derek Henry. Let's see. Okay, man I don't think that was passing the fence. It could have been defensive holding though But Arthur Millet was a little huggy, man Oh, he running Malik Willis running. He's not passing right here. He's running Oh, I knew he was running. Oh man. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa another one You can't be serious, man. This this game ain't real, man Ain't no way, man You can't be serious another one, man Another one, man This is crazy. What's the flag now? We just know it's gonna go against defense You just know it is Oh, wow It's against the offense. What was the flag? Wow, I'm surprised. I'm really surprised, man. I just because I just know it's about to go against defense, man Against spear ain't that the guy who got the big the big run just now, right? Good job by Patrick Queen, man for getting back there and starting to stop, man Good stuff by peek. Oh Yeah, he almost got it. Oh blocking the back Oh Oh, that was almost a face mask too. Whoo Just miss. I appreciate that Mike British refs apparently You never know, man. You never know. Everybody need a check Everybody need a check Here we go. All right, Jadavion. Get you another one, baby Jadak Oh man Ken Ken Jadavion clown to get half a sack on that one Shout out to Kyle Vernois too though. I know that's Kyle Vernois I'm over here trying to give Jadavion clown the artist sex. No, that's Kyle Vernois though. That's that's that's Vernois I gotta let him get his sack That's all he is, man Yeah, Ravens are doing all that celebrating. They need to get right Oh, okay, it went out of bounds Some boys said they ain't scared of Deandre Hopkins, man That's my guy, but they ain't scared of Deandre Hopkins, man Look at Rocky saying he's so happy. He said, yeah, I just thought Deandre Hopkins. Yeah, he's smiling Jesus in that helmet, man He was so happy All right, they kicking a field goal now and then they're gonna try to get the onside kick So they they they playing against the clock right now Because they know if they make this field goal and they get the onside kick They will still have to move down the field so they need some time So they kicking a field goal early right here. Small play Small decision All right, here we go Here we go Rock your sin Appreciate y'all in here, man. It's been a Very Ravens like game It's nothing nothing New About this Poor kid. He talking about my leak. Oh What are you talking about? D hop looks hurt Well, that's successful onside kick is December 15th in 2013 So it's been a little while, but hey, you know, you know, these Ravens, they like breaking records So I wouldn't be surprised if they get it because the Ravens love breaking records, man. So let's see They love breaking records good or bad a lot of bad but This let's see, man Here we go All right Onside kick Ravens. You left you left the stone hands in Pittsburgh. Okay, they call time Woo these Ravens boy, they wasn't ready. They wasn't ready for it, man. They said hold up. Hold up. Wait a minute We got to make a little change, man Hmm They got to make a little change Look at Lamar hunt Lamar like look, I just want to go out there and nail the ball, man You don't want no more stress no more drama. Let's just get this thing over with man So here we go Here we go Here we go All right. Hey, they go Chris Horton. I think the special teams coordinator But they got ze flowers out there Mark Andrews the hands teams They got the hands teams out there Hey, hopefully Pittsburgh who fit the Pittsburgh even play today And if they do play who do they play? Hopefully they lose So it could be a little flip-flopping Oh, the ball fell off. Oh, no, that's on purpose. That's intentional Here we go Ravens. Don't be raven like man Don't be raven like Thank you Oh like oh likely look at Isaiah like Isaiah likely said i'm about to catch a ball one way or another, man Oh, what a game man. Oh pit's on the bye week Oh, oh, so they beat the ravens last week and then they get the chill for what a what a way what a setup, man They set up nice, man They set up nice. Wow. Okay, so they can they can't even lose man They can't even lose. Okay. I didn't know that So, oh next week is Detroit, huh? That's that's But see knowing these ravens because they all weird man. Detroit is a really good team right now No one these ravens. They'll probably blow Detroit out the water No one had it because they are so inconsistently consisted man That's that's gonna that's gonna be a tough game though, man the lot lions Oh, that's gonna be a tough game man. Hmm Because a lot lions ain't sorry no more appreciate that hamza. He said it we finally won in a different country Hey, it's the first time for everything, man Well that game was that game This was Uh the ravens won that's obviously a good thing and like we always talk about I will always take an ugly Uh an ugly win over a pretty loss any day of the week um Wasn't the best win, but it was a win. So They took care of business and that's That's what you got to do. You got to take care of business And they did just that so Lions are okay. They kind of overrated Oh Let's see. What are the ravens then? If you feel that way about the lions, what do you feel about the ravens? Because somebody could say that the ravens are overrated because they got they four and two. Hey, which is great But they beat the fifth round rookie quarterback. They beat ryan tana here and malik willis They beat rookie cj stroud and they beat um, they did they did be joe burrow with an injured joe burrow But they did still be joe burrow now. So people could say ravens overrated So that that go both ways now they four and two But they could say they could say ravens overrated because and look who they lost to They lost to the stealers who all fans couldn't do anything for the long they lost to the copes We ain't even got that quarterback. So hey Either way, man either way So Anyway, he said gotta make a big trade. Please get Bateman out of here Oh, as usual, we got a lot to talk about that Titans back up qb counting the six Counting the six american back there Poor guy, man game gonna be oh lines game gonna be air. No, man. I don't even got a way. Well, we'll see I need to drink tea. My voice is out. I get it, man I know how I love how everyone gets a pass except for the ravens What you mean trade Bateman the bears love low effort wires This was that was a scary game. Yeah, it was it was a scary game. It was a uh It was something was the pic on the mark. I want to look at it again Like I like I said, I initially felt like it was on the mark There's some people saying it was on Bateman for not Showing effort, but I don't know Uh, as I said, I don't normally complain about I don't normally complain about officials But the rest were absolutely awful good win, but still shaky into the day four and two go Raven. That's true That's you proud of the defense period. That's true. That's true. That's one thing about them ravens, man Um defense they show up man. They do that thing, man He said davante Adams. You are raven He ain't coming here, uh appreciate that him old Lamar needed to throw for three more yards to win 1400 To the 14 on your The winners the winner I'll take it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good good times. Good times. This was a, uh Yeah, this this one was just it was a weird one. Well, not a weird one It was a normal win, but I mean it's obviously we had to wake up super early, but Yeah, exactly. It was sloppy, but a win is a win. So that that's true We need to see more Keaton going forward glad flopkins had to eat that ill Cal Hamilton played like a raven this much talent, but consistently run the ball with justice hill in the red zone I mean the the red zone The red zone was rough in this game. It was very rough Winsor win a lot better than others time for better He said free car. He said, all right. I'm going back to bed. All right. Good night, man. Good night. Good night. Good night dollars Post game stream. I mean we here already back in the win column, but we still made it more difficult than we had to That's the Ravens, man That's the Ravens. That's the Ravens. So seemed like every time Lamar looks for bait is confusion I don't know what it is, man, but Clean up the red zone offense and the refs needed to chill with the flag Bateman is on a plane ride to Vegas as we speak. I chill off of Bateman, man Anyway, Bateman ran the wrong route. It should have been an on-breaking hook to the sideline I know Clowney definitely getting those incentives. Yeah, I hope so I hope so but Anyway, y'all appreciate it Appreciate y'all coming through especially for this early early game Um, thank you. We had a lot of fun. Make sure you leave a like on the video subscribe to the channel if you're new here um But I appreciate it Donovan said this team is in for rude awakening against good teams But we'll start to see next week. Um against the detroit lions Love you too. Appreciate y'all man. Thank y'all for for watching with us. Uh, we had a good time even though The Ravens they they were very raving like but we used to it even though we don't want to be used to how they Be doing this stuff, but they took care of business They took care of business overseas and it's good that they get to make that 15 hour flight home With a win Antoine said they're not a championship team bro. Something is definitely missing Oh, yeah, they still got a lot to work on. Um, and the chemistry just still seems to be a bit off here and there Um, there's the turnovers. There's just it's so they they they still got some work to do It's much better that the work that they have to do they can do it as a four and two team Instead of a two and four team instead of a one and five team Uh, so that's a good thing. But um Yeah, so we'll see man We'll see Uh, see y'all. Yeah. See y'all next week. Uh, I'll see y'all later today for the post game thoughts video And yeah, man, y'all keep being great. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Enjoy the rest of your sunday Whether you're going back to sleep whether you're going to work whether you're getting ready to watch all the other games Whatever you're getting ready to do

A Gw translate, ..yna ni'n gweithwch a'r ystod... ..yna... ..yna ni'n fyddwch i'r glir... ..yna'u gweithwch i wirio. I'm a goner. I was there for quite a while until the ambulance came. I thought, well, if I've been here all this time, it should be all right. Anyway, the ambulance came. I got in the ambulance. And then it took me to the hospital in Norwich. When you're in that situation, you look at other people's faces. I was really calm. I was quite surprised how calm I was, considering I thought I was going to die. But I kept looking at other people's faces and you can tell by the look of their face how bad it is because people do that. And when I got to the hospital, they took it off. I saw some of the doctors and nurses giving one of those looks. I thought, that's really bad. Anyway, I was fine. I was good, obviously, because I'm still here. They did a load of internal stitches, external stitches. Just somebody in on my chest. And then I went and just relaxed. Then my girlfriend's house at the time. And then I went to court and the guy got five years. Nicor o'r ben dead? I could, well, easily, I mean, see a neck. All the stuff that you've been through, all the stunts, all the madness with the doctors and nurses and trying to help women in a supermarket before you know you could have been fucking dead. What year was this? Good question. 2006, 2007, something like that. 2008. So, at the height of your career, at the height of Dirty Sanchez and all the fame, attention? Yeah, just, it wasn't the height, height, but it was still pretty, yeah, still pretty, you know, well, now, so, yeah. Yeah, and that's taught me lessons, don't. I mean, it's sad, really, you should be able to get involved and stuff like that, because, but then it also taught me to be careful and watch. Yeah, that nobody's on me before you do something. How does that make you reassess your life? At the time, I was like, you know, stuff like that, and I was like, well, I shouldn't be here, I should be dead, because if he said that wrong there, I would have been gone. So, at the time, I thought, yeah, I'm just feeling extremely lucky to still be here and be able to do what I'm doing. I don't know if it's really affected me mentally or over the years, maybe, or it's mental to start with, I don't know. I'd have to speak to professionals, I mean, but if it has done something to me mentally or something. Yeah, no doubt. With all that, nearly dead, like... I mean, when you've brought it up in Bensinrod, I have gone, but... Yeah, because it's not only just leaving your loved one at a time, it's your mother and everyone else in your life that comes through your mind. Did you have any flashes? Did anything, like, did you think, did you see how late or was it on me just... No, because I didn't see a light, because I wasn't on my way out. I mean, in my head, I thought it was, because I knew it was on my neck and my Mrs screaming on the floor, and that only says to me that it's a really bad cat and everyone else coming over to me and putting it in and going... But, um... No, I just meant to be really peaceful. I remember being so fucking calm, weird. Like I should have been like, you would have thought you'd be panicked, haven't you? I was fucking going to die, but I was just like, shh, just sat there, just concentrate on that and concentrate. I think the light would have bugged it well, but they didn't, so... Probably saved your life, though, being calm. You could have led to death, but being calm's probably saved your life. Could have, yeah, I mean, who knows, but, um... Yeah, fair play to the ambulances and the doctors and stuff, didn't have to do a good job.

Welcome to Caltrans LSIT LS exam preparation course. One aid in your preparation for California licensure examinations. A word of caution. Don't use this course as your only preparation. Devise and follow a regular schedule of study which begins months before the test. Work many problems in each area, not just those in this course's workbook, but problems from other sources as well. This course is funded by Caltrans, but you and I owe a profound thanks to others, the courses instructors from the academic community, the private sector, other public agencies, and from Caltrans as well. We wish you well in your study toward becoming a member of California's professional land surveying community. Hi, welcome to the world of astronomy. Well, maybe not astronomy. Maybe better said, welcome to the world of astronomical asthma determination. Astronomy is a subject like that big, and we're only going to talk about maybe that much of it. Only that part that applies to the land surveyors examination and what you need to know to answer a problem in astronomy. The purpose of this video is to help you answer an astronomy problem in the land surveyors examination. And all that we're going to talk about is going to be structured toward that end. One thing you want to remember that in the examination, it is not the examination that's your enemy, it's the clock. The examination is an open book examination. And if you had all the time in the world and you got an open book, let's, hey, you would pass the test, right? And the test, once you pass it, you're going to have your license to survey. So the test is your friend. It's that clock that's your enemy. But you are limited. So again, we're going to structure how we deal with the land surveyors examination and how we work on astronomy problem doing that. Now, my name's Jack Sands. By the way, Jack's the nickname for John. And I'm going to be your tour guide for this video. Now, I work in the San Diego County Surveyor's Office in the Department of Public Works. Now, in this video, we're going to cover the PZS Triangle. We're going to talk about how the sun, the earth, and the stars interact. We're going to talk about latitude, longitude, Greenwich hour angle, declination, local hour angle. These are all the things that you need to work the PZS Triangle. We're going to be doing this using graphics and also a three-dimensional model. Now, the three-dimensional model is going to help you a little better understand this interaction of the earth and the sun, where sometimes graphics just doesn't quite get it done. And then we're going to take a recent land surveyors examination and we're going to go through it step by step. So you'll see just how an astronomy problem can be worked. As we move through the video, we'll be naming and describing various terms that are associated with astronomy. You're going to find these terms in your workbook in Unit 4, and that unit is titled Asmuth Determination by Celestial Observation. So let's take a look at a PZS Triangle. The PZS Triangle is a spherical triangle, and in a spherical triangle the parts, the three sides, the three angles are all measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Now, the PZS takes its name from the letters assigned to the three corners. That's P for pole, Z stands for zenith, and the S stands for sun or star. The PZS Triangle can have many shapes. It's dependent on where Z is and where S is. Now, P is the north pole. It stays where it is. If it doesn't stay where it is, then we've got a problem a whole lot bigger than this Land Surveyor Examination, and that'd be a whole other ballgame. But it stays where it is. It's the pole and Z and S move, and that's what changes this shape. The PZS Triangle that you see is a morning observation with the Z, the observer, somewhere in California. You know, it's going to be a California Land Surveyor Examination, so that's why California. And the S, the sun, is somewhere in the morning because it's coming up. It hasn't got to our meridian yet. The PZS Triangle shown here is on the Earth's surface. The PZS Triangle used to compute the azimuth is on the celestial sphere. The celestial sphere is a sphere of infinite radius with its center at the Earth's center. It's north, it's south pole at the extension of the Earth's north-south pole, and it's equator, an extension of the Earth's equator. The sun and the stars are all presumed to be on the surface of this globe regardless of their distance. We will show the PZS Triangle on the Earth for the sake of understanding a little better its relationship to the Earth. Let's take the display, showing the PZS Triangle and build it one step at a time. All the lines of latitude and longitude need a starting place and origin. For latitudes we use the equator, and for longitudes we use the line of longitude that runs through Greenwich, England. Latitudes are measured north or south from the equator, and the longitudes are measured either east or west from Greenwich. The reason we use Greenwich, the Greenwich meridian as the zero meridian, is because, hey, the English were here first. They wrote the book. You think they're going to put an Ireland? No, sir. Now let's add a line of latitude and a line of longitude at z. Remember that the location of the observer is at z. And next we're going to add the line of latitude and longitude at s. That's where the line from the sun to the center of the Earth touches the Earth's surface. Now, when we're talking latitude and longitude for the sun, we don't call it latitude and longitude. We call it declination, and we call it Greenwich hour angle. But it's still a measure, declination of latitude and longitude. Now we can put in the legs of our PZS triangle. P down to z, P down to s, and z over to s. And now with a little magic, we can make our triangle shine. Ain't TV wonderful? Now let's add the symbol for west longitude and the symbol for latitude. The angle of longitude measured west from the Greenwich meridian to the longitude of the observer is called west longitude. The symbol for longitude is the Greek letter lambda. Just think of a giraffe going west. The angle measured north or south from the equator to the latitude of the observer is called phi spelled P-H-I. That's a little circle with a line through it. Next, we're going to put in G-H-A, declination and L-H-A. The angle of longitude measured west from the Greenwich meridian to the longitude of the sun or the star is called Greenwich hour angle. The angle measured north or south from the equator is called declination. The angle of longitude measured west from the longitude of the observer, that's all the way around west on our picture, to the sun is called local hour angle. And the key here is the first word when we're talking from Greenwich around to the longitude of the sun in this case, that's Greenwich hour angle. When we're going from the zenith or the local, the place of the observation we go around west, local's the key, that's local hour angle. Now all that's left to do is identify the parts of the triangle. Let's start with the angles. The angle P, I should say, the angle at P is called little t, that small letter t. And it's related to LHA. Whenever LHA is more or less than 180 degrees is how t relates. You can see that in our picture LHA is very large because it goes all the way around and what's left is t. So you can see the two together make 360 degrees. Now this is a morning observation. If this were an afternoon observation then you could see that the local hour angle would be rather small and that t and it would be the same thing. So now you can see how the key to t is LHA. When LHA is 180 degrees or less t is the same thing. When LHA is greater than 180 degrees then to get t we subtract LHA from 360. But the nice thing about it is you don't have to worry about that at all because we just don't use t anymore. Just know that it's there and that's why we identify it at that part of the triangle. All of our equations now just use LHA. The azimuth angle, that's the azimuth, that's the angle we're after. So it can be observed but in this situation because we're talking about the Land's Surveyors examination allow that that's the angle that we're after computing. And then the other one, the one at where the sun is that's called the parallactic angle. Why the parallactic angle? Why do we call it that? Hey, you got to call it something. As stated earlier the sides of the triangle are measured in degrees. The side from P to Z is 90 minus the latitude co-latitude co-stands for complimentary angle. The side from P to S is 90 minus the declamation, co-declination again complimentary angle. The side from Z to S is related to the vertical angle. It can be determined by measuring the vertical angle to the sun's star or it can be computed from the time. The letter H is used to identify this side, sometimes referred to as the altitude. The side itself is 90 minus H, co-H, again co, or excuse me, complimentary angle. And there you have it. The PZS triangle with all of its supporting information. Now that we have developed the PZS triangle, let's find out how it gets started. Let's take a three-dimensional model that we have which is going to help us a little better understand this and just show how we can get that PZS triangle. Here is our three-dimensional model. This is the earth, this is the sun. Now contrary to what you've been told, the sun is not this big fiery ball in the sky that we go around. We do go around it, but it's just what you see. I mean when you look up there and you see the sun, it's a little round ball. That's what you've got. A little round ball sun. I lie. But for the sake of the three-dimensional model, this is what we have to have. Now another thing that we're going to do here is we're going to I would like to say pretend we're God, but the Caltrans people say I can't do that on the video. So we're going to be astronauts. And an astronaut, we're going to be up in the above our solar system as an astronaut looking down with the idea of what is our perspective. Looking down as our astronauts, as we as astronauts are doing everything is counterclockwise. The sun may even turn counterclockwise. We turn counterclockwise. We revolve around the sun counterclockwise. This is one year that you're looking at. One complete revolution of the earth going around the sun. So think of it. Everything clockwise. We turn clockwise. We go around the sun clockwise. The sun may even turn clockwise. Now what you're looking at right now is the sun shining on the top part of the earth, the northern hemisphere. That would be our summer here in California. Right now because an engine also see that the pitch of the earth has maintained itself. That's a pitch of about 23 and a half degrees and that stays that way. Even though we're turning, you can see that that still stays at that pitch. As we move around and get to this position, you can see that the sun will be shining directly at the equator. And because we're going from summer toward winter, that would be what we call the octominal equinox or autumn equinox. As we continue on for another three months and we get to where the sun is shining on the lower hemisphere, that would be our winter. That's what we'd call our winter soltice. And then again on around to where as the sun shines to the equator coming from winter to summer it would be the vernal equinox and then again one year later the sun shining on the northern hemisphere back to the summer soltice. Now, we need to build a PZS triangle and where does it come from and how? Well first of all we're going to have a P. P stands for North Pole. Z stands for us. Where are we? Zenith. Where is the observer? Because again we're talking about the California land surveyors and it's going to be in California so let's just say that right here is California and that's our Z. Now an S in the graphics display PZS triangle we saw, how did that get started? It started because we were doing our thing like this in the summertime and let's first of all put in Greenwich. Remember we had to have a zero longitude? Well here's G for Greenwich. Let's say that Greenwich is right here. Now when the sun's shining on Greenwich what is it in Greenwich? Right, noontime. And as we continue on eventually the sun gets to our Zenith it would be what? Right, it would be our noontime. Let's go back. Let's just say that it's noontime at Greenwich and we're moving along and all of a sudden up we stop the earth. Now astronauts cannot stop the earth. Only God can stop the earth. So now regardless of what Caltran says we must pretend we're God. As God and stopping the earth when the sun was shining directly on the earth toward the center boom there was S. And because we stopped it we created the three points of our PZS triangle P, North Pole, Z where we made our observation and S where we stopped the earth. Now naturally this kept going and we stopped it. That's where they were and now you can see the PZS triangle. Let's just take a little piece of thread here and you can see the triangle very similar to the one in the graphics. PZS triangle. And that's how we got it. Now this can have many shapes. The only reason that the shape is this way is because of where Z and where S are. Now because it's California land surveyors examination and that's what we're working on we're going to keep Z where it is and we don't want to change P. When that changes again we got a problem that's a whole lot bigger than this examination. So P stays the same Z stays the same. But let's say that this was an afternoon observation. Let's say that here we were say at Greenwich, moving along the sun eventually passed our zenith and continued on until we stopped the earth again the line from the sun right to the earth boom. Again we have a very similar triangle except that now P and Z have reversed themselves. Here's our triangle again very similar looking again except Z and P are on the, I should say S and Z are on different sides. Let's say that it's a winner observation. Let's come around over here to where we would be in the winner. And again remember looking down from the top everything is counterclockwise. Let's say that the sun starts at Greenwich and it might be a morning observation again. Well we stopped the earth and aligned directly from the sun to the earth would be where S is. But now you can see we're going to have a very long elongated PZS triangle. Because now the sun is below the equator. That would be a minus declination. Remember when we talk about the latitude or the star it's declination, it's not latitude. So this would be a minus declination. And one thing to be thinking about in that examination is when we're talking about declinations they can be plus or minus. In the Little Ephemeral book that you'll be probably having a copy of in the Land Surveyor's Examination the minus will be shown the absence of minus is a plus. Don't do that in the examination. In the examination when it's plus you write down a plus. When it's minus write down a minus. And that way if it was minus and you forgot to write it in and you just figure it was a plus because of the absence of it you're going to get the wrong answer and there goes the question. Anyway you can see how the PZS triangle can have different shapes. Let's go back to the summer and so that we work with a triangle similar to the one in the graphics where we had Greenwich and we finally had a morning observation that the sun was directly shining to the center of the earth and our PZS triangle looked like this. Sort of. One other thing I want you to remember or know about is there's a thing called sidereal hour angle or sidereal time and what is sidereal time versus solar time or civil time, sun time. And that is this. Right here we are at our zenith looking directly at the sun. The stars work a little different in this regard in that the stars are all out here on the celestial sphere and if you'll see we have a star. Our star and our sun are on direct line with each other and remember everything's counter clockwise. Now let's take one 24 hour civil solar day and we'll just go around I'm going to exaggerate the movement here so that you can see what we're talking about. Here we are back to I'm going to stop and the zenith is looking right back at the star. We've gone 360 degrees through the star but you can see we have yet to get back to the sun. A little bit more actually about 4 minutes and we're back to the sun and there's 24 hours so you can see that measured in solar time the time on your clock, civil time measured in that time a sidereal day is less. It's 23 hours and approximately 6 minutes the solar day 24 hours so you can see sidereal time, sidereal hour is a little bit less. One other thing to be aware of is we can do and create a PZS triangle without ever making an observation with an instrument because all you have to have is a clock as soon as you say stop the world there's your PZS triangle, it's done but we don't, we have an observation we have an observer, we have a zenith and at that exact time an instrument sighting the sun stopped its motion. Now things went on but we had stopped it right here and at that time when we were observing the sun let's allow that we took our instrument and looked to an observation like that. Now we have the PZS triangle from which we will later see how we can compute this azimuth angle and having measured an angle to some fixed point on the ground we can now add the azimuth angle to that angle and we can have an azimuth to a fixed point that means we can pick our instrument up and go away and come back at some other time and use the azimuth established on that line. So there you have it the PZS triangle where it comes from and how we do it. Now let's take what we've learned here and go back and apply it to a land surveyors examination problem. We'll use the problem given in the 1989 California land surveyors examination. It was a 20 point problem. Now 10 points of this were for determining the latitude and longitude at station Ruck and 5 points were for computing the azimuth from a line from a solar observation and then 5 points were for computing the angle of the closure. We're going to deal with only that part that had to do with determining the azimuth from observing the sun. The problem asked that we use either the hour angle method or the altitude method and we're going to use the hour angle method. The equation for the hour angle method and the equation for the altitude method are displayed on the screen. They are also given in your workbook. An important consideration at this point is which will take the longer the hour angle method or the altitude method. Remember, time is the enemy. In today's world of solar observation the hour angle method is preferred. It is more accurate. It is easier to observe because only the vertical M is observed. But this ain't the real world. This is the test. And in the test its pass or fail and again times your enemy. The altitude method in this problem will take less time because the hour angle method requires we compute LHA and declination. The altitude method needs only the declination and that's one less thing to do. The other component H and latitude, the other components H and latitude are given. If we had to correct H for refraction and parallax then it might be a trade off. You're going to have to decide which is going to take the least amount of time. In this problem the altitude method would be the one to use because H is given corrected for refraction and parallax. Now after all of that why are we using the hour angle method so that you'll get an instruction in how to compute LHA. The equation for the hour angle method requires that we know LHA of the sun the declination of the sun and the latitude of the observer. So let's develop these items one at a time and then put them together into the equation. To compute the LHA we need to know the time of the observation. Not just any time we need coordinated universal time UTC sometimes called Greenwich time. UTC is then corrected to get the base time on the actual rotation of the earth. This correction is called DUT and the DUT correction is given in the problem. This corrected time we then call UT1. The reason we need UT1 is because the ephemeris data is for UTC. So here we go. To get LHA we first must convert the pacific daylight standard time excuse me, saving time pacific daylight saving time to UT1. The display shows a way to deal with the information given to arrive at UT1. The display shows a way to deal with the information most LS problems of this type can be answered in this style of format. We list all the necessary information and then deal with it algebraically as a group. It can be done each one by itself but it's probably a little better that we deal with it as a group. First the time 523.35 Now the reason we know this is PM because we're going to add a PM correction is because of the picture that you're going to have to look at in your workbook of the problem. They didn't tell us this was PM now whether that's deliberate or not we don't know. We do know that it's PM by just observing that the sun was observed in the afternoon. The PM correction 12 hours now the correction for time zone 7 hours. Why 7 hours? Trust me when it's Pacific Daylight saving time you add 7 hours to get to UTC when it's Pacific Standard time you add 8 hours. Fortunes have been won and lost betting on whether you add or subtract spring back fall ahead I don't even remember the little jargons just allow that with this problem it's Pacific Daylight saving time and we're going to add 7 hours. Next we put down the watch correction now when you've got a fast watch you subtract the correction this we subtract because the watch is fast why do we subtract the fast watch for the same reason that we add a slow watch because sand says so. You can figure it out for yourself later. Right now let's just trust Jack. Our last correction is the DUT correction this is given in the problem it's a minus 5 seconds. This is the correction needed to change that UTC to UT1. Now we will take the time of the observation 523 and add all these corrections algebraically the result is UT1. As you can see we have more than 24 hours at UT1 24 23 34 2 and you can almost bet that any astronomy problem that you get of this type in the examination they're going to do this it's going to go over 24 hours because they want to know that you know what to do with it that you have to go into the next day when you're looking into the ephemeris information. Now we can compute GHA the ephemeris will give us the GHA for zero hours on the day of observation we just we have just previously determined that the UT1 of the observation we have just previously determined that the UT1 of observation the GHA of the observation is the GHA at zero hours plus the amount of GHA for the elapsed time from zero hours to UT1. To compute GHA for the elapsed time we need to first compute the total amount of GHA for the day of observation we do this by taking the difference between the GHA for zero hours today that's the 180 50 for and the GHA for zero hours tomorrow the 180 52033 and then we add 360 and the reason we have to add 360 is because there was a change in the elapsed time but it took a whole 24 hour period for it to happen and that's a 360 degree addition the result can be more or less depending on whether the GHA at the beginning of the day and the end of the day if you will the next day was more or less we then multiply this total GHA for the day by the UT1 divided by 24 to get the GHA for the elapsed time if this all sounds very complicated well welcome to the club as you do it it will start to make sense each day must be considered separately because the total amount of GHA changes every day here we might want to talk a little bit about equation of time fortunately you don't have to worry about it anymore because all the ephemeris data is in GHA but the equation of time is that because the sun does not travel excuse me the earth as it travels around the sun does not travel at a constant speed it has a speeding up and a slowing down and this causes the real sun what they call the apparent sun let's just talk about noon time at noon on our clock it may say noon but when you look up the sun may not be right on the meridian it may be before it may be after because of the speeding up or slowing down and that's what the equation of time is all about it can be very confusing very complicated and again fortunately you don't have to worry about it because your ephemeris tables will take care of this for you the GHA corrects for that and with our problem all together the GHA for the elapsed time is 523 341 and then we add this to the zero hours and this gives us the GHA at the time of observation 186 44 32 5 now we can compute the LHA the formula LHA equals GHA minus west longitude you can find in your little ephemeris leaps tables which is a real good little study text that also has the ephemeris in it 119 46 54 5 and now we've got the first part of our problem subtracting that we get LHA 66 57 38 0 now let's do the declination computing the declination you're going to find is a lot similar to what we did when we computed GHA but generally the same procedure we take the difference between the declination for zero hours today 16 32 17 5 and the declination for zero hours tomorrow 16 48 59 7 multiply this by ut 1 divided by 24 add the answer to the declination for zero hours today sound familiar? the declination for the time of observation 16 32 39 as you can see the procedure is very similar to that for getting GHA one thing I might bring to your attention here is that there is a correction to the declination that this problem didn't address and it can be as much as 3 or 3.4 seconds the problem didn't ask for it so you're not going to have to worry about it if it did give you a declination correction they'd want you to attend to it you'll find there's an equation for this in your little again the little leach's ephemeris tables because our ut 1 was so close to zero hours the correction would be zero this problem did not supply this correction and did not require it but it's a good thing to know about it the formula for computing this again is found in your little leach's ephemeris handbook now the last of our three items that we need for this equation is the latitude and that's a given that's 36, 48, 57 if you'd worked the first part of this problem that's where that would have come from but we're not dealing with that now let's take these three factors that we've been able to put together and let's put them into the equation and solve the equation shown on the screen is also given in your workbook in unit 4 this is the hour angle equation so go ahead work the equation you can stop the video while you work the equation well how did you do? if you had to work the equation about 6 times to get the answer then you're par for the course the good thing is that it isn't for the gold you're just practicing for the real thing you probably made dumb mistakes like you know 2 plus 2 is 5 you didn't change the say the degrees minutes and seconds to decimals of a degree most mistakes are because you're in a hurry and you will be in the exam remember time is your enemy there but the more you practice and the more in control you will be you will be I know you're always hearing this you know practice practice practice but it's true be prepared and you're going to pass that test I can just about guarantee it the answer to our equation is minus 89 47 48 2 when you have the answer to the equation you need to do a normalization so that the result will reflect the azimuth reckon from north goes clockwise I guess for you that would be this way and is positive and less than 360 use the box in the display to normalize the answer this box is also given in your workbook the LHA is between 0 and 180 in our problem and the answer to the equation was minus that means that we have to add 360 and then that makes our answer the azimuth to the center of the sun 270 12 11.8 however we did not cite the center of the sun remember we cited the left edge of the sun to compute the azimuth to the edge of the sun we need to compute what we call the dh correction sometimes dz correction we're going to say dh the formula for dh is the dh equals the semi-diameter divided by the cosine of h if the left edge is cited the correction is subtracted and if the right edge is cited then we would add it why? you guessed it because jack says so if you draw a picture you'll see why it is so why can't we just use the semi-diameter without dividing by the cosine of h good question it's because as the sun moves from the location to the local meridian the spherical triangle changes its shape this changes the size of the dh correction angle it's not important that you understand this it is important that you know about it in our problem the semi-diameter which is 1552.7 and the h which is 2805.49 are given the semi-diameter changes very little to only two-tenths of a second and because our observation was so close to zero hours we will use 1552.7 h is the vertical angle corrected for parallel action refraction it can also be computed if lha and latitude and declination are known but that takes time and time again we don't have so we'll just use h given the computed dh is 18 minutes and because the left edge was cited we're going to subtract the azimuth to the left edge is 269.5411.8 now let's take a look at the display and start at the top and compute each factor first we take the computed azimuth the 270.1111.8 then subtract the dh correction the 18 minutes this gives us the azimuth to the left edge of the sun 269.5411.8 from this we subtract the angle measured at station ruck from the left edge of the sun two station rots 187.3056 this angle is given in the problem all this results in the astronomical azimuth from ruck two rots 82.2316 and that's our answer we're done and you thought this was going to be hard the rest of this particular problem is that we compute the angle of closure at ruck but this is not an astronomy question that's getting into the conversion of astronomical azimuth to geodetic azimuth and then converting to geodetic azimuth excuse me, to grid azimuth this will be covered in the video dealing with the california coordinate system in what it's worth department that answer is 15 seconds we all know that a picture is worth a thousand words so let's take a picture and see, just go through this again now north in the picture is true north or astronomical north and the reason it's astronomical north is because we just solved the pzs triangle which is an astronomical triangle the p in the triangle is the north pole you can see where we had the azimuth to the center of the sun that was computed from the equation to 7211.8 our little correction of 18 gave us that azimuth to the edge the leading edge or the left edge of the sun 269, 54, 11.8 we then subtract the angle measured at station ruck from the left edge of the sun to station rots again, this is the angle given in the problem 187, 30, 56 and that gives us the azimuth from ruck to rots 82, 23, 16 now if this were a Polaris problem we'd deal with it just the same way you could use the same equation everything would be the same except you would not have to compute the dh correction for obvious reasons you wouldn't have to be citing the left edge of the star the equation shown on the screen can be used for computing the azimuth when you cite Polaris this equation is a little simpler this equation is also given in your workbook this equation should not be used for the sun or other stars it works for Polaris because Polaris is so close to the north pole less than a degree in the equation h is needed if h is not given you would be better off using the hour angle equation because the time it would take to compute h would be more time than just working the hour angle equation the computed azimuth using the Polaris equation is small either east or west of north it is east of north when the lha is between 180 and 360 it is west of north when lha is between 0 and 180 when it is west of north and the azimuth is reckoned from north in a clockwise direction well that would be like this for you it must be subtracted from 360 what we've covered so far is the kind of problem more than not in the Lancer Veiers examination on astronomy there are times when you're going to get what I'll call a word problem you should burn a candle that you get one of these offer your first born to the goddess of examination questions I call these gimmies these kinds of problems do not take time they can be answered without time consuming computations remember that time is your enemy let's take a look at a gimme problem go to unit 4 in your workbook and find problem B3 from the 1988 California Lancer Veiers examination this problem is a 10 point problem that means in this examination you were given 48 minutes to work this problem measure that against the time it would take to work the solar problem we just did that was only 5 points this problem has 17 questions 15 true or false to multiple choice if you did nothing more than guess the probabilities are that you could get half of them right and that would be 5 points and maybe 5 minutes leaving you as much as 43 minutes to work on another problem now you can see why I call these friendly problems you're in an open book examination if you just search for the answers you should be able to get maybe 7 or 8 points in 20 minutes maybe you should offer not only your first born but your spouse also that you get one of these let's take the questions one at a time the problem states that if the question is false you should give a brief explanation and the key word there is brief don't spend a lot of time so let's start right out number one astronomic azimuth is based on true north true nothing else to do number two grid azimuth is based on true north well we just said no to that so it's false and we can say c number one for a statement geodetic azimuth is astronomic azimuth minus mapping angle plus second term I don't know and I'm the expert you go to a book and you find a formula and you'll find this formula in a publication 253 remember you've got an open book exam and you've brought every book you own to this thing so just look it up and you're going to find that the correct is grid azimuth equals geodetic azimuth minus mapping angle plus second term number four to determine true north from observations on Polaris the latitude of the observer must be known no false look at the Polaris equation with no latitude in there and again because you're going to be making just a brief statement just write it down see Polaris equation and then maybe show the Polaris equation with no latitude in it number five gha equals lha minus west longitude well we've just gone through this but again you don't try to remember equations go to your little ephemera's book and there it is lha equals gha minus west longitude you could say false and nothing more than just write the equation down on to number six the best time to observe the sun to determine azimuth using the altitude method is one half hour after sunrise or one half hour before sunset no false because when you're looking at the altitude method and you're measuring vertical angle you're going to find refraction is just too much to deal with but again in the test you're just going to make a brief statement you're going to say false too much refraction period number seven exact time is more important when using the hour angle method this is true period nothing else to say number eight the hour angle method requires both horizontal and vertical observations to be determined excuse me to determine the azimuth no we only have to look at just the vertical observation so you're going to say false horizontal only number nine it is not necessary to know the latitude of the observer when using the hour angle method false see the hour angle equation just write it down see we're flowing right through we're halfway through this and I'll bet we haven't spent even talking about it more than three or four minutes number ten I think we just did number ten no let's do it anyway even if we didn't the best time to observe the sun for determining azimuth using the hour angle method is just after sunrise or just before sunset that's true because you're going to have the sun lower in the sky and the lower the better with the hour angle method again I'm just kind of telling you why but all you got to do is write true and get on to number eleven standard time must be converted to local time to determine Greenwich time false again don't try to remember equations just go into the book and find it and we're going to say that the Greenwich time equals standard time plus in this case for California be eight hours depending on what time zone you're in and here we're in the Pacific standard time zone number twelve local time is increased in California by eight hours to determine Greenwich time no it's the standard time not the local time and again you could just write out the little equation for that thirteen true solar time is local civil time minus the equation of time now again there's that pesty old equation of time which again we don't have to worry about because our ephemeris tables take care of it but here they're asking us about it so what do we do again you don't remember formulas go right to that little Leitz ephemeris handbook and you'll find about maybe the third column over it'll talk right at the top it'll tell you the little equation for the equation of time and just copy it down fourteen a level line at sea level is parallel with a level line at eight thousand feet now what the heck that got to do with astronomy I don't know but it's here you know you gotta answer it and I'm just gonna say false and I'll just tell you that because you're out there further and centrifugal force is working harder on it you're gonna have more of an elliptical path than you would at the sea level so it's not gonna be parallel and that's about as much as you'd want to say about that in fact it doesn't even belong in there but again what are you gonna do about it fifteen one sidereal day is longer than one solar day measured in civil time remember our three dimensional model when we were looking at the star and we could come all the way around and we would face the star a little bit before the end of the solar day so we know that the solar day is shorter excuse me that the sidereal day is shorter the solar day longer so number fifteen would be false sidereal day is twenty-three hours fifty-six minutes and then we got two more to go and I'll bet we still haven't used seven or eight minutes and again right here let's say you take a hat pin and you just pick A, B, C or D maybe your chances aren't as great with true or false but you could do it but let's go ahead and go through them anyway at what time will the effect of a small air in the determination of the observer's latitude be minimized when making azimuth observations on Polaris? I will peek at the answer and it says C C the Polaris is at culmination okay just allow that at culmination you're right online with the star so it wouldn't matter if you're way down here or way up here it ain't gonna change the azimuth any so naturally at culmination would be the answer moving right on to the last one number seventeen at what time will the effect of a small air in the determination of the time of the observer's excuse me of the observation be minimized when making azimuth observations on Polaris? well again this would be because when the star which is making its circle and I may be showing it wrong it's you know I'm looking at you you're looking at me just allow it's going around in a circle when it's at the outer edges it appears to be only moving vertically and time is not very critical so elongation would be the answer let's see if I got that right number seventeen says B haha look at that Polaris at elongation and we're done we've used up I doubt it we've used up ten minutes and again you know there's 43 minutes to work another problem well that covers the kind of problems that you're going to get in this LS examination there are going to be either be a problem or you're going to have to work out some numbers that you hope you don't get or a word problem like you say you're going to be praying to get and let me add just a little bit more on how to maybe approach the examination whether it be astronomy or other questions again remembering the time is your enemy take the examination when it's given to you open it up look at the first question and say hey do I know this is the time fair let's say you look at the first one you know what they're talking about go right on to the second one it doesn't matter about time the second problem you look at and this is hey I know how to answer this but it probably take me a day and a half to do it go right on to the next one put little check marks by these problems that you're not going to work number three it's a problem you know and you say hey the time is about fair I think I can do this work problem number three problem number four same thing I don't know what it is problem number five hey again time's fair I know how to work it I work problem number five you can see what I'm getting at here I'm working the problems that I'm going to get the best points from I can go through the whole examination like this and I may end up only working let's say it's a ten point excuse me a ten problem exam and I've only worked six of them I go right back to the beginning again and number one don't know how to work it don't bother with it on to number two okay again I know how to work it but it takes too much time I don't work this one because I remember one in the back was the same thing except I could work it the time wasn't quite as bad I go back and I work that problem let's say I go through the whole examination like this and I end up only maybe answering eight of the ten problems but I picked the best eight the two that I didn't work are two I shouldn't have been working with anyway spinning my wheels where I could have been getting good points so you see what I'm talking about you want to enhance your chances of getting the best chance of working the problems that are going to give you the best points now there's no magic but the better prepared you are and again I know that's been beat to death but it's a fact the better prepared you are the more selective you are about the problems you work first the more you enhance your chances of getting a passing score so guys, gals, good luck and break a leg

When you look around South L.A. what you see is mostly unhealthy foods because of the economic realities of different communities. People everywhere want quality food because you can't get anything for $4.50 that's the least bit healthy. We think that everyone everywhere is equally deserving of not only access to healthy food but access to all the other things that ought to be human rights. I'm Craig Hobson, I'm the executive chef at EveryTable. In the past I worked at a high-finant restaurant, 3-star Michelin in France. The Cirque in New York is obviously a very famous restaurant. The opportunity came with EveryTable to do something completely different but I'm sort of a creative type so I like to create things so I can still have those creative juices fulfilled. It ranges from salads like a chicken Caesar salad being with kale so it's really healthy. You don't even have cold bowls like a Vietnamese noodle salad. We have a Tex-Mex style salad. We have a pork red pizzoli. We have a vegetarian chili. And we have a chicken tinga with chayote and greens. So yeah we run the full gamut from salads through to entrees. The pricing at EveryTable is under $4.50. Depending on where our stores are located we charge different prices. Whether you're a mom in South LA where per capita income is $13,000 a year or you're on the west side. The number one thing that people blow their budgets on is actually their food. We try and price our meals at a level that's affordable for the local community. It's been a real real challenge to create meals like this at a low price point at a good nutritional value. This is a Jamaican jerk chicken. So this has been marinated for 24 hours and then smoked in the smoker for about 2 hours. Every day in the kitchen we have our culinary team and our chefs prepping out a big quantity of each meal. Those are finished off literally hours before they get dropped off at the stores. We sell through everything from 11 to 8. Whatever is left over on the shelves is then donated to charity. I work for an organization known as Ellis Foundation. We provide transitional homes for guys coming out of prison and we get the donations that every table finishes up with. We take them and we provide the meals for the guys at the two sites that we have. The community here definitely needs these type of prices because of course if you can see we're a developing community where a lot of individuals in the community may not have the resources to pay for the food of this type of quality. Most of the people here in the community they have low income and they are always working and running from the work to the house. So really it makes that option they didn't have before. Obesity is prevalent in our community so we're really excited that there is a place like this that can provide healthy food for the families in our neighborhood.

Tessal New York City As the biggest city in the United States, New York's influence stretches far beyond its home country's borders to regions all around the globe. Its influence can be felt in finance, commerce, media, entertainment and fashion while its importance on the world stage is embodied by its role as headquarters of the United Nations. On a more local level there are a seemingly never-ending number of things to see and do in the city and it is a fantastic place to take your TEFL Tessal certificate course. Although originally settled by Europeans 400 years ago, it was not until major upheavals back in Europe in the middle of the 1800s that New York City really started to grow in size and influence. The city's population swelled with immigrants flooding in from Ireland escaping the famine that was gripping the nation, others were fleeing social unrest on mainland Europe. New York's population has continued to grow since then and it has now become one of the largest and most ethnically diverse urban populations in the world, with over one-third of its residents born outside of the United States and around 800 different languages spoken by the city's inhabitants. With such a diverse population drawn from all over the world it is easy to see why it was chosen to be the home of the United Nations. As with any large city there are a huge number of things to see and do in this thriving metropolis. With a skyline as famous as the city itself any visitor will be sure to visit the icons of 20th century art deco architecture with the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building 2 of the most well known. Once the first sight that greeted new arrivals to the city, the Statue of Liberty is another must see as is the hectic Times Square. You can take the hustle and bustle and spend a quiet afternoon in Central Park with its large number of attractions including boating, horse carriage rides and even rock climbing. Shopping is of course another popular pastime in New York City and there are options to suit all budgets from high-end fashion stores to street sellers. The city offers all the latest and most famous shows can be caught on Broadway while music fans are spoiled for choice with countless music venues all over the city catering for every possible taste. Wherever you are from there is something for you in New York City whether you like to spend your time seeing the sights or watching the latest Broadway spectacular you will not be disappointed in New York. Study time our trainers are here to help you finish the course feeling well prepared for your first job as a qualified English teacher. With all this in mind it is easy to see why our New York City TEFL Tezal course is one of our most popular courses year after year. Tezal Rome Rome is one of our most popular Tezal course locations. The combination of culture, history and the large number of English teaching jobs throughout Italy make it an ideal choice for a Tezal course. Our Tezal training center is in a perfect location, close to the Vatican in public transport and offers very modern training facilities and IT professional staff to ensure you have a memorable time during your course. It is easy to imagine sitting outdoors on a pleasant evening enjoying a refreshing ice cream while sitting on the world famous Spanish steps or overlooking the Colosseum and just watching as people stroll on by. This wonderful mix of the old and the new of culture and history and the unique delights that Rome offers makes it unquestionably one of the most beautiful, fascinating and famous cities in the world. It is widely known as the Eternal City and is certainly one of the most important of all European cities in terms of the sheer wealth of history, culture and religion and has been so for thousands of years. It is hard to imagine that any other city could rival the overall depth of history and beauty that can be found here with wonderful architectural structures such as the Colosseum, Treaty Fountain, Spanish Steps, the Roman Forum the imposing presence of the Vatican and the masterpiece that is Sistine Chapel and that's just beginning. However, Rome isn't only a place to experience the past. There is also a modern lively feeling to the city and it is a wonderful location in which to witness modern daily life and see how it fits uncomfortably against the backdrop of ancient culture and history. Many delightful old squares with their old fashioned cobblestone streets and courtyards are favored meeting places for both locals and tourists and are fantastic places for sitting under the warm Italian skies and people watching. Rome has a great many restaurant terraces offering authentic and sensational Italian cuisine yet at quite reasonable prices. It is situated along the Italian west coast and while the city is very large and spread out over an extensive area running down to the coast, the famous historical center is quite small and localized and it is certainly easy enough to visit most of the better known attractions on foot. The city, however, also has an extensive, efficient and modern public transport system for visiting further afield. Due to its close proximity to the beach, the city of Rome is ideally located for people wishing to experience a major historical city and yet at the same time have easy access to the lovely beaches of the Mediterranean. As there is a wide range of opportunities for teaching English in Italy, it is the perfect choice of location for your Tessal course. Tessal San Diego Situated on the west coast of the United States and Southern California, San Diego benefits from a year-round warm climate, making it an incredibly pleasant city in which to live, work and study. The city also benefits from long stretches of beautiful sandy beaches and a close proximity to the Mexican border. California's second largest city is surrounded by beautiful coastline, impressive mountains and gorgeous valleys. Inside the city you will find numerous museums, galleries, theaters and music venues, while the beaches and surrounding countries I'd offer a seemingly endless number of sport and leisure activities. All of this makes San Diego the perfect place to take a TEFL Tessal course and to start your journey as a qualified English teacher. Although known as the birthplace of California, having been first settled by Europeans in 1769, San Diego was overshadowed by Los Angeles for the majority of its early life. It wasn't until the arrival of the railroad in the latter half of the 19th century that San Diego really started to thrive. The 20th century saw the establishment of several military installations helping to create the thriving city that modern San Diego has become. One of the city's main attractions is Bulboa Park, a large recreational area in the heart of the city covering a vast 1,100 acres that contains a wide variety of different attractions. It is home to the San Diego Zoo as well as the Aaron Space Museum. There are a number of beautiful gardens to wander around and over 65 miles of biking and hiking trails. The park also hosts a variety of sports facilities including a public swimming pool and tennis courts in addition to a range of theaters, restaurants, shops and cafes. As with any large city, San Diego has a vibrant nightlife with many bars, restaurants and clubs catering to all budgets based in and around the historic heart of the city. This area is known as the Gas Lamp Quarter and plays host to a variety of festivals and other events throughout the year including St. Patrick's Day parades and Mardi Gras. If the hustle and bustle of city life gets too much, then you can always escape to one of the many delightful beaches that are just a short trip away and take part in any of the large number of water sports on offer. If you are already located in the area or simply want to take your TEFL Tezal course in an exciting and interesting city, you will struggle to find better than our course in San Diego, California. The combination of our excellent facilities, dedicated trainers and all that this wonderful city has to offer ensure that you will have a memorable, enjoyable and educational experience while earning your TEFL Tezal certificate with us. Tezal San Francisco San Francisco is a city that needs no introduction, its use in a huge number of Hollywood movies means that much of this Californian city is instantly recognizable to people from all over the world. The iconic Golden Gate Bridge or the infamous Alcatraz Island, nearly everyone has an image of this city in their mind.

San Francisco's unique and iconic attractions, blended with its a sigoing atmosphere, make it a great place to earn your TEFL Tezal certificate. Despite being first settled by the Spanish in the 18th century, San Francisco did not start to really grow until the famous Californian gold rush in the middle of the 19th century. Since then the city has grown and grown, and while the days of the gold miners are long gone, the city still draws visitors from all over the world. For anyone visiting San Francisco for the first time a trip across the famous Golden Gate Bridge is a must, as is a visit to the world famous prison on Alcatraz Island. In fact, there are so many well-known landmarks your whole trip could be taken up visiting them all. You could head to Pate Ashbury to recall the heady days of the summer of love and soak up the Bohemian atmosphere that still infuses the area. San Francisco is also home to the largest Chinese community outside of Asia and the city's original Chinatown is well worth the visit. When you consider all the attractions that San Francisco has to offer, from its rich cultural history, iconic landmarks, modern infrastructure and inclusive atmosphere it is easy to see why the city remains a popular destination for visitors from all over the country and the wider world.

This important global city is at the very heart of the country's business and finance sectors and also leads the way in terms of its arts and culture. Although Toronto is undeniably large in size, countless polls and surveys would suggest that it has avoided the fate of many North American cities by being rated as one of the world's most livable urban areas. Add the welcoming nature of the local people and you can see why the cosmopolitan city of Toronto has become a popular destination for completing our TEFL tesol course. Toronto has steadily grown on waves of immigration since its initial founding and this continuing trend means the city is one of the most diverse in the entire region. The city's multicultural population hails from all corners of the globe which has led to a unique blend of cultural attractions to enjoy. The Art Gallery of Ontario has a fascinating collection of works from across the world which highlights the multiple influences on the city's development while the Royal Ontario Museum boasts one of the largest and most varied collections in North America. Another popular attraction in Toronto is the city's most famous landmark, the CN Tower. The views from the observation deck make this one you won't want to miss. If you find yourself in Toronto during the winter months you can participate in the city's love of winter sports. A night out at a Toronto Maple Leafs game, one of the founding members of the NHL, offers an exciting way to mix with the local fans. For those who prefer to get more hands-on, the variety of public skating rinks, ski slopes and cross country skiing, and skating trails that appear across the city every year are sure to be a highlight of your stay. Of course, there is more to this city than winter sports, why not sign up for our course in Toronto and find out for yourself.

Es muy fácil de gestionar, o sea, con un poquito de enseñarle si hacemos una tienda online, Unicommerce para un cliente, o lo que es bastante fácil de esa persona que entienda o que comprenda cómo funciona su tienda online y que pueda subir productos, hacer los precios, una serie de cosillas, que es bastante sencillo Tiene una buena cantidad de plugins y temas añadidos, add-ons, hay temas específicos para WooCommerce y plugins que mejoran o cambian el comportamiento de WooCommerce, como hablábamos antes Suscritions, membership, hay muchísimos, ¿no? Llegamos para hacer ofertas, para hacer infinidad de cosas, ¿no? Hay una cantidad muy grande, está muy bien desarrollado, a nivel de código está muy desarrollado aunque sí que es cierto que es un plugin que no es pequeño, pesa bastante, pero lo hace muy bien y tiene, como vamos a ver, montones de hooks, ahora vamos a ver lo que son los hooks y cómo funcionaríamos con ellos y también permite la sobrescritura de ficheros de nuestro sim, esto es, ¿sabéis lo que es esto? Vale, lo que vamos a hacer para WooCommerce es un plugin, ¿vale? Entonces va en la carpeta de plugins, plugins, WooCommerce, ¿vale? Y dentro de ese plugin hay una serie de ficheros, una serie de templates, una carpeta de templates y luego podemos, nosotros en nuestro tema, podemos crear dentro de nuestro tema la carpeta WooCommerce y hay sobre escribir los ficheros que queramos, ¿vale? Por ejemplo, el cart.php, que es el carrito, pero podemos sobre escribir, hacer unos cambios directamente en nuestro tema y luego hay una gran comunidad, hay mucha gente trabajando con esto, que le gusta mucho esto y que lo utiliza, ¿vale? y hay muchísimas cosas más, ¿vale? Los hooks, lo explico para que nos entendamos, para que no sepa, un hook es más bien, un sitio o un momento puede ser un sitio o un momento, ¿vale? Un sitio dentro de nuestra tienda online, dentro de WooCommerce Veamos la página web, o sea, la página del producto, por ejemplo, puede ser un sitio, un lugar concreto o puede ser un momento, ¿vale? Al clicar el botón de daño al carrito, o sea, es un momento, ¿vale? Yo ya me lo explico bastante bien, pero que bueno, es que, ¿vale? Y luego tiene muchísimos hooks, ¿vale? Que podemos utilizar. Los diferencias WordPress, como WordPress también hay, WooCommerce tiene los suyos, ¿vale? Pero esto es de WordPress. Los Actions y los Filters. Los Actions, lo he puesto por aquí, no lo he puesto, ¿vale? Los Actions, digamos, que son, que podemos añadir o quitar funcionalidad. Por ejemplo, poner un texto debajo del botón del carrito o encima, que lo vamos a ver luego, ¿vale? Y el Filters ya sería modificar, por ejemplo, el texto del botón, ¿vale? Los Filters, digamos, que modifican, tú a final coges lo que tiene por defecto y lo modificas y eso lo das para que lo muestre ese texto, ¿verdad? En este caso, ¿vale? Es un ejemplo. Y los Actions son, pues, a final, vamos a poner algo en algún sitio dentro de nuestra página, ¿no? En este caso, WooCommerce. Vale, esta es una página de WooCommerce, tiene dentro de la documentación, tiene un montón de hooks que podéis ver. Aquí sé que he hecho un falta, así como WordPress tiene su codex, ¿no? Bueno, ahora Developer y tiene muy bien explicadito cada uno de los hooks, las funciones, las clases y tal. Aquí sí que vienen enumeradas y un poquito descritas, por decirlo de una forma, pero falta, yo animaría la gente de WooCommerce a que lo documentaran un poquito más, ¿vale? Pues como el codex, ¿no? Tienes ahí los argumentos, una serie de ejemplos, ¿vale? Es una cosa, pero, bueno, tenéis ahí toda la lista de hooks, de funciones y demás. En recursos interesantes que suelo usar yo, que seguramente sonarán, sobre todo el primero, ¿no? WooCommerce Visual Hook Guide Series, esta es una página web del chico este, que se llama, ¿no? Business Roomba, que aquí tenéis una serie de páginas donde él tiene, pues, la página de single, la página del cart, la página del checkout, ¿vale? Y está dibujado dentro de esa página donde están los hooks, ¿vale? Así lo podéis ver visualmente. Y el otro es un plugin, que hace prácticamente lo mismo, pero en directo llegamos, instaláis en vuestro WooCommerce y podéis ver los hooks, no están todos, porque ese plugin creo que hemos instalado hace dos años, pero os puede dar una idea más interesante, ¿vale? Vamos a ver un poquito estos dos opciones, ¿vale? Aquí veis la opción del Business Roomba este, aquí tenéis, por ejemplo, la página de... ¿esto pinta? Así, aquí tenéis la página de... La página de single, ¿no? Entonces aquí veis, pues, aquí tenéis los hooks, ¿vale? Aquí tenéis unos que son, digamos, antes de, a principio, la página del single, lo aquí tenéis en la zona de la... donde diría, digamos, el tema del botón, ¿no veis aquí? El tema de las categorías, todas estas cosas, ¿no? Entonces aquí tenéis una serie de... y si fijáis, en esta página tiene un más, que es el pulsar y se despliega, ¿vale? Y mostramos información sobre esos hooks, ¿vale? Y aquí tenéis el nombre de hook, ¿vale? Entonces, por ejemplo, ¿imaginaos? ¿Es que no? ¿Es que no sabe? Este, el que sea, cogís ese hook y dice, yo quiero poner ahí un texto, ¿vale? El que sea, vamos a ver ahora, pues cogís ese hook y dice, pues, por poner ese texto, ¿vale? Lo agregamos como se hace, ¿vale? Y, honeste, honeste, honeste, me da igual, ¿eh? Cualquiera de ellos, o de otras páginas, o... es muy sencillito, vamos a ver como se hace, ¿vale? Es simplemente que veáis esta página, la del visual hook guide, porque es muy interesante, os voy a dar una visión más... más general y más acertada, ¿no? Y ahora tenemos el otro, es el plugin, ¿no? Así es parecido, pero bueno, esto es un plugin para instalar en vuestro Google Comer, o en un Google Comer de acuerdo, si queréis, para que lo veáis también visualmente, ¿no? Aquí tenéis, por ejemplo, también los hooks que aparecen antes de la imagen del producto, aquí tenéis todo el tema del carrito, en las categorías, y aquí se la parte de abajo, por ejemplo, el producto relacionado, es que también tienen hooks. Hay hooks en todos los lados, ¿vale? Y esto es muy interesante para hacer una idea. Vale, hay páginas, pues hay muchas, ¿no? Para el carrito, para el checkout, mi cuenta, producto, hay muchísimas páginas de Google Comer, con las que podemos mirar, a ver si los hooks y jugar con ellos, ¿no? Bueno, jugar, trabajar con ellos. Vale, un hook, ¿vale? Yo aquí he oído un hook para hacer un ejemplo, ¿vale? Para que lo veáis más, lo vea mejor. El hook en Google Comer se llama, Google Comer Before Action Card Button, lo hice claramente, ¿verdad? Antes de añadir, antes del botón de añadir al carrito, ¿qué es este de aquí? Ya veis que está posicionado, ¿vale? Ya veis que está posicionado justo antes del botón de añadir al carrito, ¿vale? Vamos a hacer un ejemplo con este hook, ¿vale? Lo que hacemos es, la función, digamos, es azaktion, ¿vale? Es la función de Warpers que tiene para referirnos a los hooks. Azaktion, entonces ya sabemos que es un hook, ¿vale? No es un filter, es una acción. Y aquí pondríamos el nombre del hook, y aquí la función que hemos creado, que vamos a crear. Bueno, luego aquí tenemos la prioridad, que ya os comentaré si queréis un poco más tarde, y argumentos, ¿vale? Pero el momento con esto, con estas dos cosas, con el hook y la función, nos vale. Y aquí tenéis un ejemplo, que es, azaktion, como veis aquí, el nombre del playin, el nombre del hook, que es Google Merchant for Actual Car Button, y aquí la función que voy a crear ahora. ¿Vale? Es el nombre de la función. Ya veis que no tiene ni paréntesis, ¿vale? Simplemente el nombre de la función. Y aquí vemos ahora un poco más lo que antes, y la función que he creado yo. Simplemente he hecho un eco, simplemente muestro esto, ¿vale? Que es un H1 que pone compraplice. El suplicar, la cosa de suplicar es para... Para dar un poquito de... Eso es, ¿vale? Hay que pensar en todo, ¿vale? Vale, pues ya veis que la función... Bueno, las funciones no sabéis, las funciones de MPHP se crean así. Función y luego el nombre de la función con paréntesis, ¿vale? Estás muy sencillita, ¿eh? Lo único que haces es el eco, que es mostrar por pantalla esto, ¿vale? Esto es lo que hay entre la... ¡Oh, yeah! ¿Ese sí o yo? No, no, sí o yo. ¿Ese o yo he hecho? No. Aquí un botón que... Aquí un botón que hay en la pantalla, un monitor. Escape, escape, escape. Escape. Escape. Cancelar. Tendrá ahí algún botón de algo... Era para que te vayan las zapatillas, por cierto, ya. Zapatillas de Fernando. Pepsi, oh, yeah. Bueno, pues que ha momento esto, ya veis, ¿no? Las funciones se hacen muy sencillas, podemos complicarlo o mejorarlo como nosotros queramos, ¿no? Y también depende un poquito de nuestros conocimientos. Pero si buscamos en Google, seguro que vamos a encontrar lo que... o casi lo que queremos, ¿no? Entonces, ahora vamos a ver el resultado, ¿vale? El antes y el después, ¿vale? Ya veis que la clase de súplica era un poquito rojo, ¿vale? Para que se noten nada más. Entonces, lo que hacemos con esto, ya lo veis, ¿no? Es con... sin tocar, digamos, el código de Google Gumbes, nosotros no modificamos Google Gumbes como tal. Nosotros estamos utilizando un código que seguramente meteremos en el Functions, que podemos hablar luego si no sobra tiempo, que igual no hay que meter en el Functions, pero bueno, en el Functions PHP podemos meterlo, y lo que hace, simplemente, ese código es mostrar esto, compra please, o lo que queráis. Podéis complicarlo más, pues con algún condicional, pues, por lo que sea, pues si la persona ha comprado este producto, pues si quieren comprar please, pues, pues, igual compra por favor, o lo que sea, ¿no? Otra opción, ¿no? Vale, esto se entiende. Si tenéis preguntas, la preguntáis. Si no, no me preguntéis. ¿Vale? Si tenéis alguna duda. Vale, otro ejemplo, porque esto se ve bien mejor con ejemplos, ¿no? En este caso vamos a utilizar a jugar con un filter, ¿vale? Con un filtro. Vamos a cambiar el texto, como he comentado antes, he puesto este ejemplo porque es lo más sencillo de ver, y lo más... no, lo más suele utilizar. Cambiar el texto o añadir el carrito, como, no sé, comprar o... o otro texto, ¿no? Estás tratando mucho en comprar, o lo que sea, ¿no? Lo que queramos. Eso depende de nuestra... la chispa que tengamos. Vamos a cambiar el... el hook, el filter hook que vamos a utilizar es este. Ya veis que es descriptivo. Google comes product single a tocar text. ¿Vale? Sabemos todos inglés. ¿Vale? Entonces aquí tenemos el código. Vale, el... Yo, justo antes, el ejemplo del Actual, pues el filter es igual. O sea, aquí podemos el filtro, ¿no? Esto no hay que inventarse, esto ya está. Esto ya existe, los filtros ya existen. Podemos añadir filtros, pero eso es otra historia. ¿Vale? Los filtros que tiene Google comes. Cojemos el filtro, esto no es que es copiar y pegar, y luego de aquí, pues lo que hacemos es crear una función. Que no os asuste el tema de función, si no sabéis lo que es o no lo tenéis mucho... mucho... Pero es una tontería. Es una cosa sencilla. Function en el nombre de la función, con su abre y cierre, y luego el echo, en este caso hago echo, sencillito para que nos empezamos todos. En este caso lo que haces es comprar ya. Aquí no hay chispas, simplemente compre ya. Y lo que hacemos con estos, bueno, esto es una línea, porque está partida por la verdad, y esto es una función con una línea más. ¿Veis que es muy sencillito? Lo que hacemos con estos es esto. En el carrito lo hemos cambiado por comprar ya. Es muy sencillo. ¿Algún agua sobre esto? Luego sí que en Google comes, por ejemplo, podemos diferenciar, ya sabréis que en Google comes tenemos diferentes tipos de productos. Tenemos productos simples, como es el caso, productos variables, productos de otro tipo. Entonces, podemos incluso configurar en este caso, ya hablo del texto, o otras cosas, en función del tipo de producto que estemos trabajando. Porque igual en el caso del producto variable vamos a comprar ya, porque la persona tiene que seleccionar primero la opción, los zapatos, la taya 42, antes de dar el botón. Igual dependiendo de ahí, y es más allá de cumplir que lo hace. Pero es más bonito hacerlo nosotros, porque sé cómo funciona esto. He puesto este ejemplo porque este es diferente, quería que lo vierais. La página del checkout, la de finalizar, compra que es la última ya, le damos el botón y pagamos. He puesto el ejemplo de los datos de facturación. Tenemos también datos de facturación, datos de envío, y los datos de información. He cogido esto para que veáis un poquito el ejemplo. Ya veis que en este caso, por defecto en Google comes, luego podremos añadir campos o quitar campos, pero con los campos por defecto de Google comes, ya veis que tenemos aquí el nombre de apellido, el nombre de empresa, el país, una serie de campos. Y lo que vamos a hacer, esto lo trata Google comes como arrail. Un arrail es un arrail. Es una lista de propiedades o de elementos. Vamos a dar un poquito, vamos a hacer la billing, que es esta, para toda la facturación. Para los datos de envío habría otro arrail, pero el ejemplo he puesto con esto para que lo veáis bien. No os asustaros, simplemente. Estos son los campos que vienen por defecto que he visto antes, en el formulario de checkout, finalizar compra, y por ejemplo, he puesto este entre corchetes, hay que tratarlo así, y entre comillas. Billing, porque él tiene el ticket, digamos que este es el arrail de Billing. Pues le voy de prisa, no la tiene que dar, para que veáis, entonces aquí veis, dentro de Billing, todos estos son de Billing, de facturación. Entonces aquí tenemos el first name, esto es descriptivo, las names, la compañía, estos son los campos que corresponden a esto. Entonces nosotros vamos a trabajar con estos campos. Quiero modificar o quiero trabajar con la dirección 1, o con la provincia, tiene propiedades. Si estamos, hay tres corchetes digamos, pero no os asustéis porque son corchetes, no hacen nada. Todos entre comillas. Entonces tenemos diferentes propiedades. O sea, ya veis, el Billing, el campo, que ya hemos comentado antes, dirección. Tenemos tipo, ya veis aquí un poco, lo que es, o lo que puede hacer, pues el tipo de campo. Tenemos por defecto en Google Maps, tenemos esto. Un texto, una textarea, digamos una caja de texto, de contraseña o de selector. Por defecto hay esto. Luego seguramente si trasladamos un poco añadimos código o algún plugin, podemos añadir más tipos de campos. Pero por efecto son estos. El label, que es el texto de la etiqueta de campo, ya sabéis, el label digamos que sería y la caja, digamos, aquí había el Prince Holder, ahora lo vamos a ver. Por aquí, ¿vale? El texto de la etiqueta del campo, el Prince Holder es lo que va adentro, que puede ser generalmente igual, no hay nada, pero podemos poner algo, ¿no? Algún texto. Meter una clase, si queremos inyectar una clase para luego darle nosotros el color rojo, como hemos visto antes, por ejemplo, requides si es un campo requerido, que es obligatorio que el usuario que ya veis que los campos posterior este es True or False, no hay más. Clear, pues hace un Clear Fix, podemos decir True or False. La clase del label, aquí es la clase, digamos, del campo y aquí la clase del label, de lo que va adentro de la cajita, ¿no? del input. Y aquí un opción es que es una rare de opciones, ¿vale? Para los select, ¿eh? En caso de los select. Lo vamos a ver ahora y lo vamos a ver. ¿Vale? Ya, éste es. Para éste es. Aquí vemos cuatro ejemplos, ¿vale? Todos con Billing, todos de la... de Sarai, que dejamos el nombre, el codio postal, la empresa y la ciudad, ¿no? Y aquí veis, por ejemplo, vamos a cambiar el label. El label es, en este caso, su nombre, ¿vale? Voy a poner así, su nombre, le ponemos éste. Y en el caso del codio postal hemos cogido la propiedad de Placeholder. Placeholder es el texto que va adentro del input, dentro de la cajita, ¿vale? He puesto cp, para que sea descriptivo, ¿vale? El de la empresa le he puesto que sea obligatorio, no requides true, y el de la ciudad el tipo select, ¿vale? Vamos por ahí, ¿vale? Un select es un desplegable, ¿vale? Bueno, aquí tenemos el codio. Es mucho codio, porque son varias opciones, varios cambios, ¿no? Pero es sencillo, ¿no? O sea, se entiende, ¿no? Si hay preguntas, ya lo preguntaréis. Bueno, el filter, ¿vale? Este es el, digamos, el hook que vamos a utilizar, el check out fields, ¿vale? Los campos del check out, el hook, el filter hook que vamos a utilizar en este caso, ¿vale? Para cambiar, para modificar, para trabajar con los campos del check out. Y esta es la función que hemos hecho uno por cada uno de los que hemos visto en el momento. Entonces, por ejemplo, ya veis, hay que utilizar la variable fields, que tenemos que meter aquí también, ¿vale? Para traerla, traemos la variable fields, el campo, el billing, billing first name, y label. Y lo que hacemos es poner como lo hemos visto antes, ¿no? Ponemos el texto que aparezca, ¿vale? Y en este caso, como ya veis, que hemos un filter, lo que estamos haciendo es que, digamos, coger con el campo fields, cojemos lo que tiene el ya establecido en ese array, esos campos en el campo fields, y lo que hacemos es modificarlo, y se lo entregamos abajo, ¿vale? Hacemos aquí los cambios, chat ahí. ¿Vale? Hacemos aquí los cambios y aquí se los damos con los cambios hechos, ¿vale? Luego desacajemos el array y hacemos los cambios y se lo damos otra vez. Y aquí veis que, sin más, lo único que tiene un poco más diferentes es el select, ¿vale? Que lo que hacemos es, a ciudad le ponemos el tipo select y luego le pasamos las opciones. Para ese select, ¿vale? En este caso, lo que estoy haciendo es le doy un array con dos campos, ¿vale? Uno es a murro y otro es a la goza. Entonces, en ese desplegable van a aparecer sólo dos campos, que son a murro y a la goza. Muy bien. ¿Qué es el resultado? Ya veis que hemos puesto su nombre, el nombre de la empresa, ¿ya lo veis aquí? ¿Veis? ¿El nombre de la empresa a dónde ha salido? Ah, obligatorio, sí, pero está ahí el asterisquito. Aquí me dice la igualdad que pone a la murro y a la goza. Esas dos opciones. Podemos poner todos los que queramos. Pero bueno, en este caso, por la apresión, los intereses van a vender a la murro y a la goza. El CP, ¿no? Ya veis que es muy sencillito. ¿Cuánto queda tú? ¿Cinco? ¿Cinco, vale? Voy a aprovechar. Venga, ya está. Muchas gracias. Cualquier duda o pregunta que tengáis, me podéis hacer ahora o luego, sino mañana, como queráis. Cualquier feedback que os ocurra, esto es muy interesante, que despertáis el miedo y podéis hacer con unas líneas de código cambiarme muchísimas cosas en el código de Google Comments, ¿vale? Si tenéis que tocar el código... Hola. ¿Dónde recomiendas que se ponga crear un plugin nuevo para poder hacer estos hues en el tema? ¿Qué es lo que más recomiendas para poder hacer? Yo prefiero, siempre lo que hacemos es crear un plugin, ¿vale? Porque, al final, seguramente cuando hacemos cambios si es uno, no pasa nada, ¿vale? O dos, ¿vale? Pero, ¿sabes qué pasa? No es solo de Google Comments, vamos a hacer uno de WordPress o lo que sea, va a estar más snippets, como lo llamamos, ¿no? Y yo recomiendo crear un plugin, no cuesta nada crear un plugin, y es más, si te apuras, crear un Mew plugin, o sea, meterlo en la paca de PTMew para que sostesí o sí. Mi recomendación siempre es hacer un plugin siempre, nuestro. Es muy sencillito, ¿eh? Si no buscas en esto, o preguntáis luego, quedamos nuestro plugin de funciones. Es muy malo el plugin de funciones. Lugar de estar ahí, porque luego cambiamos el tema y se va eso, ¿vale? Por lo que sea, cambiamos el tema de funciones, ya no sé, funciones y no está ese código. Entonces lo lógico, lo ideal, sería crear un plugin, meter todo ese código, y ya está, es muy sencillito. ¿He respondido tu pregunta? ¿He respondido tu pregunta? Vale, bajo. Hay un señor aquí. Ya sé que supongo, la habrás puesto como modo ilustrativo para entender, pero no consideras, por ejemplo, una mala práctica, hacer un cambio de texto directamente con el ejemplo que has puesto en vez de utilizar los ficheros de traducción, porque si es un string, lo mejor es. Ya, pero el fichero de traducción tiene, si tú funcionas en multilenguaje o en diferentes países, ya es más complejo. Solo dices en español, en castellano, pues no hay problema, no hay ningún problema. Es más complicado. El tema de la traducción. No sé. Si es diferentes idiomas, todavía mejor, porque cada uno va a cargar su texto de texto. Sí, sí, eso. Y si lo fuerzas por aquí, se está forzando por aquí. Pero, claro, estos son cosillas que te pueden dar así rápidamente. Sí, sí, sí, sí. Yo creo que la gente le gusta mucho el concepto de snippet para la gente general. Tengo una tienda online, y tampoco quiero liarme con esto. No soy programador, ¿vale? Y eso, ya está, se lo hace todo el mundo. Pero no pasa nada, es que es lo bonito de golpes y lo bonito de esto, ¿no? Para que cualquier hijo de vecino pueda hacer esto. No me digas tú a mí que es copiar y pegar. Otra cosa es que luego, Google Commerz es un plugin, a mí me gusta muchísimo, y ¿qué pasa? que va cambiando con el tiempo. Y hay funciones que se precan, o justo lo que sea, pero no antes precando. No te das cuenta, ¿vale? Tienes igual la versión 2.5 y hasta la 5.3, y han deprecado la función esta y de repente casca, ¿vale? Pero eso pasa, nos pasa a todos. Es actualizar el... ¿Tú vas actualizando el Google Commerz? Si lo tienes en tu plugin, no pasa nada. Desactiva, si lo tienes en el tema. Si lo tienes recomendado, siempre. Obligatorio, diría yo. ¿Alguna pregunta más? Me voy corriendo. A un aplauso. Muchas gracias. Muchas gracias. Antes de que os...

Wandsworth was dangerous them days as well. You get the shit kicked out of you. What it is now in Wandsworth was nothing back then with the old lot and the old mentality of the screws. But so I've worked out a plan because when you apply, you've got to make an application to see the probation officer and that can take a week or two. So I'm thinking no way, I'll be on the ferry by then. So I've gone on the art exercise where you're all round in single file your blue jackets on them days. Come back to the wing, I said, nah, she's in today. So when they were banging up everyone cause you have to get banged up in Wandsworth them days. No one's left out apart from cleaners and whatnot. But I've disappeared onto the ones, sat on the toilet with my feet up, with my head down so the bits covering my thing like that. So they've looked over, you always know they're not gonna look over, they're looking for the feet and whatever one of the institutional tricks, James. And then I've gone upstairs, I'll see the line was that way. The probation rooms that way. So they're not facing the door. They're all in the queue waiting to be asked to go in. So what I did was push right to the front of the queue to get chatting to her. And without looking in, I opened the door. When I opened the door, there was a man, a foreign looking man with an article in his hand with his hand round her throat and walking backwards like he was coming around the table to come out of whatever he was gonna do. I didn't have time to think and he was bigger than me. At that time, I weren't that strong as I am now. So I didn't know, the only thing I could do, again, a female, I've gone running in there. So I ended up getting a little small scratch, nothing much, but we ended up rolling over the table. She run out the room and pressed the bell. Never seen as many screws as this in my whole life, James. About a hundred. All the whole wing was covered in uniforms, right? Come, I somehow end up on top of him by luck. So I don't know how that happened, but I was lucky. So I was on top of him, so they pulled me off him. So they pulled me in the corner, got him in the corner. They're talking to the woman, the lady. And she's trying to say, but obviously she's in shock, she can't talk properly. So they've wrapped him up, right? So then they're coming for me in. Oh. They think you're a part of that. So they're bending up, I go, God, no, it ain't me, I ain't done nothing. He's gone, yeah, put your head down, you know what I mean? Bend my wrist, put my head down. But as I'm walking past, I can see the lady's legs. And you know, sad, she had tears in her eyes. So sad, James. And she comes and said to Mr Baker, he's dead now. He used to, he was a proper bad one, but I rated him though as a screw. We used to come in and search you on his own in ones with the old days. He's to come through the door and he's on everybody freeze. He had that, that, that energy that made people scared. I've never seen a bunch of serious convicts run from a screw, but he's there talking to her. And then he's looking at me. I'm saying, hold on, so I'm standing up now. And then she's coming. And then he's gone, right, hold on, let him go. And then brought me around. And he goes, oh, he goes, you're my hero, yummy. He goes, I'll get you. Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't involve my name in anything. I'm par about the comebacks. You know, I looked at her, went upstairs and then he gave me a job on the hot plate. And he said, you're everyone that went past. See, I got slagged off for that back then because they said that, you know, I got him. I stopped to do it. They start to grasp me off for that. But, but James, you know, that woman could have been killed or raped or something. But that thing, a lot of memories back from your mom being beaten up by getting stuff. Funny that when it affects, it doesn't do that to me even now. I don't like seeing a lady cry. It does my head in, James. But she, so he's bought me on the hot plate. He said, you get an extra fish today. I thought, oh yeah. Downsview were just open. And it was a male's prison. And he goes, right. Mr. Turner, they used to call him Mr. Angry. In the mornings when the bell used to go, he used to go, I'll lock the bastards. Proper, proper different in the old days, James. I've gone to Downsview. Doing a three and a half year stretch. Gone to Downsview. Doing a three and a half year stretch. And with about nine months left, two geese in a suit came with a certificate with the writing on it called Royal Warrant. And my mom gave it to my mom. She stuck it on the wall. And I got 275 days back off my EDR, earliest date of release. Not parole, right? Because I've never ever got parole of any sentence.

La crânio-sténose, fermeture prématurée d'une ou plusieurs sutures crâniennes, un enfant sur 2500 est touché par cette déformation, une opération lourde, très angoissante pour les parents, à qui le pôle tête et cou propose depuis peu une prise en charge spécifique. Le rôle de l'infirmière référent pour la prise en charge des enfants atteint de crânio-sténose et de répondre, comme je vous le disais, aux angoisses et aux questions des parents tout au long de la prise en charge des enfants. C'est une prise en charge longue qui est débutée environ trois mois avant la théorologie et qui se poursuit jusqu'à cinq ans après la théorologie. Le rôle de l'infirmière référent est de centraliser les informations qui étaient données auparavant de façon ponctuelle et morcellée. Donc à savoir que l'infirmière référent réexplique, reformule les informations qui émanent aussi bien des services paramédicaux et médicaux de pédiatrie, de la même façon des services de chirurgie, de chirurgie maxilofacial et neurochirurgie. Et donc on fait intervenir en fonction de la demande et des besoins des parents, également psychologues et assistantes sociales. C'est pour le coup une prise en charge totalement transversale. Des familles qui se disent rassurées depuis la mise en place de ce poste. La prise en charge de Mme Lebert a été très bénéfique pour nous car on s'est retrouvée un petit peu plongée dans un univers qu'on ne connaissait pas. Avec des médecins, des appellations qu'on ne connaissait pas. Et on a eu très très peur sur le coup quand le couper est tombé qu'il fallait l'opérer. Donc elle a été présente juste après que le chirurgien nous aient annoncé la nouvelle. Donc du coup elle nous a permis de comprendre le processus, qu'elle allait être les étapes et nous a permis aussi. On a bien indiqué en effet les risques qu'il y avait, mais à contrebalancer avec toutes les dernières opérations qui avaient une issue très positive. Et donc elle nous a beaucoup rassuré, elle nous a expliqué tout les tenants aboutissant le début pendant l'après. Donc oui je ne peux que dire qu'elle a été bénéfique sur l'intervention, ça c'est sûr. Et je pense que ma petite fille est partie sans une larme au bloc opératoire parce que les parents étaient, même si on était très très stressés, au fond nous-mêmes on était toujours rassurés. Et ça est grâce à Mme Lebert et à l'équipe vraiment très englobante, très protectrice, vraiment au top. Un suivi personnalisé qui améliore la prise en charge globale du petit patient et de sa famille.

I was following someone that was parachuting back as well And I could have sworn I pulled the parachute and I didn't I died and my run was over So I can't understand the frustration there Jesus I didn't do all that. I mean the more I play the less frustrating it has to get right Couldn't fucking do it in time. It's so annoying. I'm laying back down there and killing this by I knew he was gonna I'm laying it back down on TV. I don't give a fuck. I'm killing him. I don't care where you send me I'm going to TV. I don't give a fuck how far away you spawn me from the guy that killed me Don't worry about it. I'm gonna go over here, and I'm gonna clap this dude with one fucking place. Oh Wow He wasted no time Jesus Oh, I would have been real mad if I got sucked all the wind out of my sails I actually was going to spend the rest of the video hard staring at this screen No emotion. No word. No nothing to die in the exact same spot Surprise surprise they're fucking loser like me and get mad at warzone, you know Oh, that was a quick death guy beamed them basically all headshots only has two kills what the fuck what is happening, man What do you guys do all game? Oh? I died to someone just like that at like three four kills Came into a room. I knew he was up there pre-aimed the spot He had what gun did he have the XM for or something like that? I'm not sure what gun he had. It was one of the Cold War assault rifles I think it was the XM for could be I could be saying some random gun man I don't know, but he was just pre-aiming the Entrance way. I knew he was there ready to shoot and I died because he was just sitting in the house What doing anything, bro? Oh my I don't know how y'all play like that. I See oh, yeah, I might have broke it listen. Oh shit One kill 90 people alive at the game is over pointless nothing. No good gameplay will happen that game Just drive around in one fucking kill and it's me man Playing call of duty. They're playing fucking twisted metal. No thought process or brain activity behind it And they both need to light them up Are you serious? It's gonna blow them up. It's gonna blow That's what he get driving through the area and see what happens. Oh No Only flying over there. I need to find where that guy is I have to find it over here. Oh No I picked the wrong class and the wrong weapons up Such a nervous fucking wreck when I play this game. I hate this fucking game. Oh, it's so bad Why am I even making cons? Oh my god? Oh my fucking god. Don't need to spectate me brother. I'm trash Oh my brain My brain doesn't let me move anymore. The content wasn't just so fucking atrocious I wouldn't even mind, but it's getting to the point. I thought you wasn't about to pull the chute. Oh I would be so mad if I went out that way cuz he obviously didn't know the claim over there, bro Didn't even know it bro. Oh Blending back down there. I promise you Don't spawn me away from I don't give a fuck. I will fly across the map for that shit I'm not gonna let that guy do that to me. Is he still over there? Oh No, oh I know your pain Trust me after some rad ass fucking ghost player was literally sitting inside of the building set a claymore in front of my Vehicle this fucking got four spectators now. It's fucking do or die. Oh, so it's so satisfying Spectate the person that kills you and then they just get clapped by somebody else. It's the most satisfying thing I see him I'm trying to swap I'm trying everyone is so scared like just Maybe I need to stop making statements and just deal with it. Just just why you gotta always gotta say something Jason Like just fucking die and shut the fuck Wait, what how's what's happening? How's that a thing? What the fuck did he just get out to take his oh No Yeah, he definitely outplayed him If he thinks I'm not gonna sit there and show him how much I will let me find where it fucking killed me I promise you I'll keep I'll fly directly back into you. I came right back for Well, he thinks that I think that I think that he thinks then that would mean that I need someone with their load out Spectating it. I'm surprised. He's not trying to heartbeat him from 800 meters away. Oh shit. Is that guy alive? Like okay, imagine being in war and you're looking around and she you got a weapon Why do all these Call of Duty content creators just say everything is broken, dude, everything's broken everything's OP It's just it's because we're broken. Do you need me to say it? We're fucking broken Make sense That's a good day Hi, man back down there best believe I'm coming back and kill no no doubt in my mind just for that death I'm getting off for a few hours right after this I'm laying it back down there. Sorry. I don't care. Hey, man I can relate sometimes I got to get off the game for a bit. All right, nice place Nice Shoot the dead by all Spectating PewDiePie again. I'm watching you. Well, show me something That's the case if you really wouldn't do it winning isn't the hard thing to do in this game It's to get the kills along with winning. That's the harder thing to do The winning isn't the difficult part even gonna bother getting in the gunfights. He doesn't want to expose himself He just sits there dude. He wants to win so bad Downloaded cheats to go and do this Just to win. Who are you showing top for all he's done is hide and any kill he's gotten he's fucking toggled for Shot inside of the gas gonna be healing back up here though He's got his tack mask on he stuck out here in the open and the gas is getting further and further away What hi, this is Brad with Copper Creek That's lame, bro You're a hack you're a cheater, bro. You playing warzone. You're you're a loser You're a fucking loser, bro. Yeah report the winner that dude's toggling Your dog's expected that whole who was camping the whole time over there. I'm using Colonel colonel sand bro colonel sand Literally not a human being warm. I always got somebody that's like, oh, dude challenge accepted play a game You actually enjoy I don't enjoy The fuck am I gonna do post Diablo 3 that right now? That's just the taste at the moment. Can you talk Jason? What did I do I'm sniping here bet and here it is my ego getting a better of me too by the way I'm literally swapping just a shit on this dumbass, and I don't even care about my challenge anymore Oh, that's how it'd be this guy. Yep. That's how it'd be Well, what is wrong with me as I'm sitting here wiping his team. This isn't this isn't hard point for this guy It's literally TDM versus phase jib You I love you, bro. I've been watching you for years. Sorry for shooting your body. I love you I really do love you, bro. Have a good day. Oh, that's the real you know Literally just finish watching your video dude fucking love you Jen. Yo It's just it's it's so sick and I'm so tired Wait, did I not just so you're gonna shoot his dead body over and over and over I love you, bro. All right, bro. I Literally bought it. Oh, it's all ain't fucking bro This is this is phase jib still hello, right? I forgot I get scammed every time I buy that dude, please man Please just let he literally just watch me buy that bundle And it's still here and it says I don't own anything this guy is just literally the worst player I've ever seen in my life. I'm gonna sweat on him. I don't care this guy put on EOD and running straight down his throat Come back up here again. I'll wait for you. I will bully you favorite thing to do Is it just sit there in a lobby and have someone just sit there and dump their heart and soul into insulting me It's as many ways as possible and then they just don't even end up in the video It's my favorite thing to do What what Everybody reported this guy Screw the cheaters man, we don't rock with cheaters man. If you cheat in warzone, you're a piece of trash big facts Panicked I couldn't see anything. I just heard bullets and everything is so loud man soon as I get shot I can't hear anything. Everything gets jarred. I'm not even touching my controller. Look at that. Look at that drift. I'll be Actually don't know where the controller went up pretty sure it exploded Did a blow in the shoulder buttons off Working controllers and it's not because I slam them It's because they start breaking and then they get slanted. You're not gonna get any better So by something just gives me the wrong amount of drift or something No, it's bye-bye this controller right here to have some reason this one doesn't have the rumbles taken out of it And this stick feels like it gets caught when I'm moving it over towards this direction I can feel the resistance be slightly more to I can be destroying controllers like that We won before the game even stop I believe that everyone knows if you ratio somebody in an argument You're absolutely gonna ratio them in game. How do you? Oh my god Oh What what I just died around the corner. Oh, yeah. Oh So over it man, I use I worked so hard to get that thing just for It's really literally three trophies on it. Oh, no, no, no, no, are you there? How would you know that I have a code name? I'm like oh I'm happy everyone else is getting to experience it. It's getting your you know average run of the mill open start fucked here Jesus Christ Another lobby where we get Over I'm leaving I can't get another one How far until it done. Oh my god How how where's my code name enable? Yeah, how are they able to see him if it's code names enable Well, I got it at the end Like a sketch a book or some shit if something clean out of like the Marvel series that guy wasn't even looking at me this game is so funny. Oh Yo, man a phase dev I can definitely relate to the rage and modern warfare and just call a duty in general Y'all go subscribe to him on YouTube man. I will link the original video to this compilation down below But definitely go subscribe to phase ever if you haven't if you want to watch some some entertaining call of duty content He's been one of the like OG's when it comes to call of duty content And he's like one of the OG's when it comes to raging on call of duty. So Comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys? Well about to say You know what? I don't even know what I was about to say there I know like the video Comment down below. Let me know Other any other phase job compilations you want me to check out. Do you want me to continue this series and? Roll to 50k I guess that works as an option. I'm gonna roll with that

What doesn't often think of hemp in space, but that's where it's headed. I'm joined with Front Range Biosciences CEO Dr. Jonathan Vott. You got to explain this to me because I looked at what your company is doing and I found it so fascinating. Why are you sending hemp to space? That's a great question. So our company is focused on breeding and development of new hemp varieties and one of the tools that we use is genomics to better understand how the plant performs from a biological perspective and by putting plants into a unique environment like space where there's zero gravity, it gives us an opportunity to understand how the underlying biology of the plant works in this new environment and if you imagine for a second that plants on earth spend most of their energy growing up and define gravity when you take gravity away the question comes where does all that energy go? So it goes into other pathways, it goes into other unique characteristics that we might observe in these plants in the zero gravity environment. So what are some real-world applications from this information that you're going to learn? Well, the first experiment is really just to lay the foundation to understand what types of changes we observe at the molecular level or at the genomic level in these plants and then from there we hope to use some of that to better inform our genomic mapping studies which help us develop markers for improved breeding which leads to a more efficient and streamlined breeding process basically. And so once you're able to map those genomes does that mean that you can really lock down certain varieties and strains of hemp like okay, this is the one that is best for this purpose or also to permit the idea that you know you could almost maybe patent some of these these particular genes. Yeah, so certainly intellectual property is an important part of our strategy in terms of how we protect our new plant varieties but but I think the the important thing to keep in mind is that with a better understanding of the underlying genome and how that affects the different characteristics or traits in the plant we can better target our breeding and so by exposing these plants to zero gravity and then even exposing them to other stressors like unique salt concentrations or even pathogens or other stressors that might cause the plant to to mutate for example or to respond to the stress of that environment. It opens the door for us to better understand how we could breed for traits that might improve performance here on earth. So things like certain types of mineral content or or other salt content in the soil for example that that might not be beneficial if we can breed plants that can grow more effectively in some of these more challenging environments here on earth. It opens the door for farmers to be able to grow without having to put as much effort and resource into growing and managing their plants. Okay, how did you arrange this because one doesn't just say hey will you bring my hemp seeds to space and and and you're going out on SpaceX. So explain to me that process. How did you actually get this to happen? Yeah, so it's it's kind of interesting how these how these things come about for sure. So we're one of the few companies in the industry that does or uses a process called tissue culture. So we actually work with plants in a laboratory setting and the plant samples that we're actually going to be sending to space are actually not seeds. They're not even whole plants. It's actually a form of the plant called callus. So this is basically like plant stem cells that will be in a petri dish and when we So we're one of the only companies that has the ability to do this in hemp and And as well as coffee and we're also sending coffee. It's not just hemp But we're also sending coffee callus to space as well to understand the effects on that plant But so it's a it's a unique form And so we were one of the few companies that actually had the ability to do this And quickly because the timelines have been fairly quick to meet the launch Timing which is just in in a couple of weeks now. I think so So anyway, so yeah, and so we're working with a company called space cells They're funding the project and it's a three-way collaboration between space cells the bioserve group out of the University of Colorado at Boulder So that's actually where I did my PhD work. So I have some connections to see you Boulder So there's a bunch of connections here that brought all this together But at the end of the day, it's it's a joint collaboration between those groups And then we'll obviously be working with the ISS national lab International space station To to coordinate the effort as that's where most of the the experiment will take place up in space Do you get to go to the launch? I Could yeah, we'll see if my schedule will allow me to I have a pretty busy schedule Running running the company, but we'll see I think some of my staff it for sure might be there the ones that prepared the samples And and I believe that the bioserve Center at CU they actually will have footage and they have 24-hour camera monitoring of what's going on in the space station and and launch and all of the different parts of the project So there will be an opportunity I think for us to to view it a lot of it live Via TV. All right. Well, this is super interesting that the thought that we're taking, you know, this Very old plant that's that's known for many old industrial uses and then bringing it to space to see what's going to happen That is dr. Jonathan bot from Front Range Biosciences, and I'm Deborah Borchardt with the Green Marker report

The president's budget proposal eliminates public media funding. Learn how you can help at lptv.org slash action. A wax museum where you can be in the same room as an Olympic gold medalist or the first man to walk on the moon. That's this week's Golden Apple with Haiti Clotter as she shows us how students go back in time for lesson in history. I don't know. I thought it would be a fun little thing to do. Carter Fish selected President Donald Trump for his school project because Carter says Trump is cool. There were a few things he learned about Trump along the way. He owns like 10 casinos or something. He um he ran for president in 2000 and didn't make it and um he was part of a four or five kid family when he was younger. Amelia Earhart, Stefan Curry and Abraham Lincoln all made a trip to Bemidji. Fifth grade students from St. Philip's Catholic Church School had a wax museum where students portrayed famous Americans. It's a combination of a research project that the students have been doing. They studied a person, a famous American and learned about them, wrote a research paper and then then they made their display boards and now are portraying that person. The students brought each person to life without saying one word. A costume was required and students embodied their famous American from head to toe. Eleanor Strand was drawn to Eleanor Roosevelt because they share the same name. I knew that she was a first lady. I knew that she was she had I knew that she knew a lot of like leaders around the world. 20 students participated in the wax museum and this year's trend was presidents. Four were featured. Theodore Roosevelt is on Mount Rushmore. People should know about me is because I'm uh one of the presidents of the United States. Students worked on the three-step project since February and the wax museum was open to the public and had lots of visitors. Babe Ruth and Helen Keller were popular choices and have been a constant fixture year after year. Fifth grade teacher Amy Zimmerman hopes the students learned about someone they looked up to or someone new. What it takes to go into writing a research project, research paper, the steps, the editing, the typing, all that stuff, but especially the accomplishments of somebody else and looking beyond what's happening right here in Bemidji. I think people should know about Betsy Ross because she was the first person to make the American flake. For this week's Golden Apple in Bemidji, Haiti Clodder, Lakeland News.

Leave that system, leave that circle of friends, leave that mindset, leave that emotional dependency. Leave it, you gotta step away from what's holding you and reinvent yourself. You might say, well, I put a lot of time into that relationship, put a lot of money into that business deal. Yeah, I know, but it's gone bad and it's getting worse and it's not getting better. And so perhaps you need to draw a line, step out of your stuck and walk away. And it's not big thing. So some of you just need to, before you go to bed tonight, delete yourself from the family WhatsApp channel. Starts there. You gotta say, I'm done with it. I'm not doing that anymore. I'm sick of the gossip, sick of the negativity, the rudeness, the abrasiveness. I'm sick of it. I'm not doing it. It starts there. It starts with not returning the phone call this week. When that person calls you who wants to vent and rant at you. Starts there.

Industrial Policy | Economics for People with Ha-Joon Chang
|
Free-market economists like to pretend that economic planning has no role in a successful economy. But many economists now recognize the important role of industrial policy, as Ha-Joon Chang explains in this thirteenth lecture in INET’s “Economics For People” series.
About “Economics for People”:
“It is extremely important for our democracy to function that ordinary citizens understand the key issues and basic theories of economics.” – Ha-Joon Chang
Economics has long been the domain of the ivory tower, where specialized language and opaque theorems make it inaccessible to most people. That’s a problem.
In the new series “Economics For People” from the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), University of Cambridge economist and bestselling author Ha-Joon Chang explains key concepts in economics, empowering anyone to hold their government, society, and economy accountable.

selective industrial policies is a false one because in a world with limited resources whatever policy you choose you are favoring some sectors over others education, okay maybe up to say lower secondary level is pretty general so it benefits all sectors equally but beyond that education is actually quite specific you know in countries like Germany and Japan they have very developed vocational education system so from the age of 14 or 15 I mean people begin to really learn and hone their skills in particular industries at the university level that we are all specializing if the government gives more funding to particular types of engineering departments then it's actually favoring sectors that will use those types of engineers infrastructure I mean infrastructure is not something kind of amorphous and can be remoulded you either build a railway between your I don't know copper mine and the seaport or you build an airport for say the flower growing region so once you have decided to build infrastructure you are committing yourself to promoting or not promoting particular sectors because infrastructures have particular locations and they have different cost implications for different industries I mean airports will be no good for copper mining at the region because you can export copper with airplanes whereas if you are growing flower if you are growing fresh fruit that could be crucial industrial policies always selective the question is what do you choose it's simply not true that you can have this general policy that will even handedly affect everyone in the 18th and early 19th century Britain was the most protected economy in the world between the 19th century and the second world the US was the most protected economy in the world lot of countries had regulations on foreign direct investment and so on and so on so it is not as if industrial policy ended in these countries with their economic maturity industrial policy continued yes protectionism came down after the second world war before the second world war tariff levels were really high in many countries 50% in Britain and even relatively low figures can hide a lot of selective protection so for example Belgium might have had 9, 10% average industrial tariff rate in the late 19th century but some sectors like iron were getting 60% protection textile was getting 80% and so on so anyway protection was very high until the second world war but then it started coming down note that basically it was only in the 70s that the levels of industrial tariff in today's rich countries reached the level that developing countries have today since the World Trade Organization was established in 1995 there has been quite serious trade liberalization in developing countries and today their average industrial tariff is about 10% but that's the level that today's rich countries reached only in the 1970s by which time they were actually a lot wealthier than your average developing country today more about the decline in tariff protection was also accompanied by increasing the range of industrial policy measures that is used and especially between the 1950s and the 1980s many rich countries like France, Japan, Austria, Norway, Italy, Finland used strong industrial policy so all these countries first of all heavily regulated foreign direct investment in order to promote domestic firms especially Japan and Finland virtually banned foreign direct investment until the 1980s all of the other mentioned countries except for Japan used state-owned enterprises in strategic sectors so until the 1980s for example France and Austria had two of the largest state-owned enterprise sectors in the non-socialist, non-oil-producing world at the time their state-owned enterprises were producing 13, 14, 15% of GDP France and Japan used the planning they had five-year plans I mean these were indicative planning so it was not mandatory planning like in the Soviet Union but this was a serious attempt to first of all provide the vision for the future shape of the economy by announcing priority sectors the kind of financial and other supports that the government is going to give to them how these priority sectors are going to relate to each other and with other sectors and yeah, I mean it was planning in a very serious sense Germany and actually parts of Italy had many regional governments that used industrial policy to promote small and medium-sized enterprises in the region so they used banks that they own I mean many of these regional governments had public banks to provide affordable long-term finances to small and medium-sized enterprises in the region they worked with local industrial associations to promote cooperative arrangements to supply inputs that are too expensive to be provided by individual firms like research and development, export marketing and worker training when you have relatively small firms I mean things like especially R&D and export marketing which have a lot of fixed costs a lot of upfront costs are very difficult to provide the United States may pretend that at least after the Second World War it has had little industrial policy but actually it has had one of the strongest industrial policies in the world only that it is not called industrial policy it's called R&D policy so almost all the sectors in which the US today has international technological leadership were initially developed by the US government usually US military so computers initially developed by Pentagon Internet later was developed by Pentagon semiconductor was initially almost entirely financed by US Navy my colleague Mariana Matsukato has become famous for writing this article showing how just about every single piece of technology the microchips, GPS system, touchscreen and so on contained in modern mobile phones were initially developed by US military research especially during the Cold War between the 1950s and the 80s the US federal government financed between 50% and 70% of total national R&D depending on the year and the corresponding figure in state led economies of Japan and Korea were only about 20% so who is actually state led the US government has an enormous influence on the evolution of these industries through these research funding programs I mean even today that the ratios come down but even today it's at around 40% the ratios are still 20-25% in Japan and Korea other countries were slightly different because they all had different conditions so for example, Thailand and Singapore had huge state-owned enterprise sectors I mean Korea's state-owned enterprise sector wasn't small I mean it was about 10% of GDP which is about international average but in the case of Singapore and Taiwan these were much bigger Singapore still produces 22% of GDP through state-owned enterprises the corresponding figure for Taiwan is 16% but it was higher in the earlier period when the private sector was less developed like Japan, Korea and Taiwan were overall very hostile to foreign direct investment although in some sectors labor-intensive export-oriented manufacturing like garment, shoes mainly trainers stuff toys and things like that they were open to foreign investment but in general they regulated foreign investment very heavily Singapore and China are a bit different because they used foreign direct investment a lot more so in the case of Singapore they very carefully identified sectors through industrial policy planning that they want to attract foreign firms to and they go out and seek partners and they talk to them and ask them what do you want if we want you to come and run your business in our country recently Singapore built the second airport in our country with very little land in order to host aircraft maintenance industry I mean this is not a random act because in Singapore 90% of the land was owned by the government once they built that aircraft maintenance companies came and then Rolls Royce relocated this aircraft engine research division to Singapore it's a very different form of FDI attraction than what we normally think is needed China has had fewer legal restrictions on what foreign companies can do compared to Japan, Korea or Taiwan but it very cleverly used its strategic position to do this informal bargaining but what it does is being A, one of the biggest markets in the world and B, a country with at least considering its level of general technology very well trained workers and good infrastructure it uses that attractiveness to this informal bargaining with foreign companies so give us more technology train our workers hire more local managers so small locally it's not written in the law but the attraction of the Chinese economy as a site of production and market is so large that a lot of companies have said yes we'll do that because we want to work with you well finally as for the industrial policy in non-East Asian developing countries the period between the 1960s and the early 80s when developing countries used a lot of industrial policy this is frequently condemned by mainstream economies as a period of misguided industrial policy called ISI or import substitution industrialization what you have to realize is that economies in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa have done much worse since they adopted neo-liberal policies and abandoned industrial policy in the 80s most countries in these regions have experienced what is called premature de-industrialization which means that your manufacturing industry goes into decline even before you fully industrialize also it is important to note that there have been cases of successful industrial policy at least in relation to some sectors Brazil developed civilian aircraft industry initially as a state-owned enterprise and privatized since the 1990s and this is now the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world a lot of regional airlines in the United States fly the planes made by Embraer Malaysia has had significant success in electronics industry in the palm oil processing industry common sector in Ethiopia in the recent period has been a bit of a success although it is slightly too early to tell very surprisingly Uzbekistan has had quite a bit of success with the automobile sector by emulating Korean-style industrial policies so these are relatively minority of examples but it is not true that everything that other countries did was a failure I mean it's not because lack of theoretical reasons why industrial policy hasn't worked in many countries so I'm going to just group them broadly into three categories the first set of arguments I call the interdependence argument the first one is based on this idea of demand complementarities basically firms different industries they buy from and sell to each other how you develop different sectors is going to be different according to this pattern of mutual supply and demand so one type of this argument was called the big push argument when you are trying to develop an industry in a backward economy you basically have to develop the related industries together otherwise they will not succeed so for example if you are trying to build an automobile factory in a country full of rice farmers maybe you can make the car but who are going to sell it to they are all these poor people and we are going to get the inputs for the car you need steel, you need glass basically the idea is that yes, therefore you develop all these different complementary industries together and then they can buy and sell to each other workers working in steel factory unlike rice farmers will have money to buy a car the steel factory can sell to the car company the car company can sell trucks to the steel company and so on so Albert Hirschman thinking along a similar line however had a different view he said it's not as if all sectors are equally impactful on other sectors there are some industries like automobile which buys from a lot of other industries and he hold this relationship between different sectors linkages so you build the automobile factory and then it generates a demand for steel, glass, rubber it then also supplies to other sectors like retail, logistics and the indicative planning exercises of France, Japan and Korea are the best examples of industrial policy based on this logic because they were planning the economy on the basis of what if we want to develop this sector do we need to develop other sectors together develop the steel industry first before you develop machine tools industries and then of course there is the familiar externality arguments the classic example is the government promotion of activities that generate the positive externalities like R&D and training whether through subsidies or regulations R&D policy of the United States is the best example of the industrial policy based on the externality arguments more recently economists like Lin and Roderick have developed this idea of information externality which means that when form enters a new industry in a country with no prior experience in that industry that form actually generates information about that industry that can be used by other forms before they decide to move in or not to move in it's an interesting idea but actually in a way not very original because Malaysia have used policies based on this idea since the 1950s they had this scheme of pioneer firms so if you are entering a new industry you are given extra subsidies thirdly you have arguments based on the need for the coordination of competing investments this is an idea that is not really recognized in the mainstream literature but was very important in industrial policy especially Japan and Korea the idea is that if competing firms simultaneously invest without knowing the other firms' plans they could easily be over investment now in textbook economics this isn't a problem because if something doesn't sell you immediately switch to something else but in reality machines are dedicated workers are at least partly dedicated so you cannot say invest in I don't know making automobile and then realize the demand is not enough it basically means scrapping the machines and firing workers that you originally hired to make a automobile so industrial policy makers in Japan and Korea were very concerned with this which they called excessive competition so they did two things to deal with this one ax anti-planning so they had this licensing system and said if you want to invest in automobile or some of the more important sectors you need to get government permission and the government will look at the investment proposals and say no actually there's going to be too much you should invest this time around maybe five years later when we do this exercise again we'll let you have a priority and then we move on to the capability arguments the first of this is of course the infant industry argument the argument that governments of relatively backward nations need to protect and nurture young industries of their own before they can grow up and can compete with leading firms in the world market this logic of course has been used by virtually all countries throughout the history of capitalism another class of capabilities argument is arguments for regulation of direct input of technology either through technology licensing basically getting a license from a more advanced company to sell you the technology or through foreign direct investment and basically many governments have regulated this process to ensure that once these technologies come you also develop the capabilities to use them productively and at least make incremental improvement unless you do something about the technological capabilities to use these technologies properly what happens is that you import technology basically on a so-called ton key basis so everything comes ready you just turn the key and it runs unfortunately things go wrong unfortunately things get outdated and you don't know what to do except for calling the original company and they charge a lot of money to solve your problem some countries like Japan Korea, Taiwan they directly regulated technology licensing so they would say things like you cannot pay more than 3% of your revenue as the licensing fee or they might say this technology actually looks outdated you cannot import it and so on and finally the policies that I said were frequently used by local governments in Germany and Italy and the national government in Taiwan to help them accumulate capabilities because without R&D without technical consultancy provided by a government agency at a subsidized price how are these small and medium-sized enterprises going to raise their productivity and then we have a set of arguments which are classified on the risk and uncertainty in many countries governments set up financial institutions to provide long-term financing for investment typically these are known as development banks KFW in Germany KDB in Korea JDB in Japan BNDES in Brazil but these development banks will give you very often subsidized loans for 3 years, 5 years sometimes even 10 years the government can also set up state-owned enterprises if no one was willing to do it the South Korean government had this idea to build a steel mill back in 1965 and it tried to get financing from foreign donors and the World Bank which was at the time advising these donors said that this is insane Korea it's got income less than 5% that of United States it's got very little capital a lot of labor it should concentrate on labor intensive industries and it wants to build a steel mill the country doesn't even produce enough raw material please don't give money to them you go against the received economic theory you don't even produce raw materials you want to set it up as a state-owned enterprise and appoint ex-army general as the CEO what more do you need to fail well they managed to build this enterprise with money from colonial reparations from the Japanese and by 1973 it went into production by the mid 1980s it became one of the most efficient steel makers in the world it was privatized in 2001 but mainly for ideological reasons I mean it was making a lot of money still and it is still like the fourth largest steel maker in the world seen from today's point of view it is obvious that Korea should have set this up but at that time everyone said wow this is too risky future is too uncertain so the government stepped in with this old money secondly the government can help firms and industries restructure themselves in the face of big changes beyond their control financial crisis dramatic technological changes rise of China what have you in the 1970s Volkswagen the German auto manufacturer got into trouble so it was nationalized well regionalized if you like it was basically taken over by the local government of the state of lower Saxony Nieder's accent in German and actually the government of Nieder's accent still owns about 20% of Volkswagen because of that history the US the country of so-called free enterprise basically nationalized general motors after it went bankrupt in 2008 and have restructured it to compete in the electric car market and finally you have the policies that are intended to help workers cope with risk involved in the restructuring process through things like unemployment insurance job search service and subsidized retraining the Scandinavian countries Sweden and Finland especially have been very good with this so the workers there are not very resistant to the introduction of new technologies and redefinition of jobs and so on because they yeah I mean no one likes to lose their current job but it's not the end of the world you know they lose their job they'll get the unemployment benefit which is 65 and 75% they'll get up to two years of that provided that they go into retraining programs and then you will have sort of personal consultant given to you by the government to plan your retraining and find your job in new sectors so actually that you know Sweden is one of the most robotized economies in the world because Swedish workers do not fear robots anyway so that if you use these kind of things well it can actually facilitate industrial restructuring and development and even though they are not industrial policy proper they can be quite important yeah then let's talk about implementation issues you know the fact that there are theoretical justifications for a policy doesn't mean that you will necessarily succeed with that policy in practice because that the policy has to be well designed and well implemented so let's first of all look at the policy design well I think the most important thing is that policies need to be realistic in order to be successfully implemented but that doesn't mean that industrial policy makers should only try safe things you know this is the view of the World Bank you know in this famous report on East Asian miracle in 1993 the World Bank recommended that yes I mean some of the industrial policies used by countries like Japan and Korea even though they are highly unorthodox from our theoretical point of view kind of work but they work only because these countries had exceptionally capable bureaucracies do not try this at home so it might have worked for some people it is not going to work for you you shouldn't even try Justin Lin basically recommends that you should try to imitate countries that are slightly above you so look at countries that have per capita income twice maybe three times higher than yours and try to emulate their industries well that will be safer but that will mean that Korea would have never developed steel industry in the 1960s Japan would have never developed auto industry in the 1950s now when you try difficult things they will be failure but you know as the economist Joseph Stigl is like to say if you are not failing you are not trying hard enough so you need a portfolio of industry so yes quite a few safe bet and a larger number of medium difficult things and a small number of very difficult things but then unless you push yourself in that kind of way you will never progress beyond your current level also industrial policy constantly needs to be updated and adapted to changing conditions you know conditions change all the time you know the world economy changes new competitors emerge new technologies emerge and also you might have had some projection about the future development about the say industries and firms receiving your support for development but then they may have been mistaken maybe they are growing much more quickly than you had thought was possible and then you should curtail protection push them more aggressively into the export market maybe they are not doing as well as you thought they would and then you need to look at it closely is it because there were some unforeseen circumstances that were beyond their control or was it because these firms were getting lazy and living a comfortable life behind the walls of protection so you have to constantly watch how things are evolving and adapt and then there's the question of political economy first of all successful industrial policy needs to have the right political base it is well known that powerful landlord class as you see in Latin America tends to be against industrialization it's not just the landlords that some countries in the recent period have suffered from the excessive power of the financial class Brazil and South Africa are the basic example since mid 1990s for various historical and political reasons these two countries basically adopted this policy favoring the financial sector over the manufacturing sector and they have consistently had real interest rates running into 10, 12% which makes investment impossible the average profit rate of non-financial corporations across the world is between 3% and 7% if you have to borrow at 10% real you cannot borrow because you're not going to make enough money to repay it and still have some money left in the late 1980s depending on exactly which statistics you look at the manufacturing sector produced somewhere between 30% and 35% of Brazilian GDP today is not even 10% and falling because when you go and talk to capitalists in Brazil they said how can we invest and export? we have to pay 10, 12% real rate to borrow money our currency is overvalued at least by 50% our exports are not competitive but that does not mean that our country's political economy is completely determined by its history because you can always build new political coalitions let's talk about the United States the northern manufacturing states and the southern agrarian states were all the time at daggers with each other about protectionism so sometimes the northern states managed to impose higher rate of protection when the southern politicians become stronger they pull down the protection finally came to a head when Abraham Lincoln the first republican president actually the republican party set up just before Lincoln's election made a bold move to offer free distribution of public land to settlers in the west so the western states had always vacillated between the north and the south finally they were fully allied with the northern states and Lincoln could win this and the war settled but the thing in favor of the north and since then the US became even more protectionist started investing a lot in infrastructure, education, R&D that was the critical turning point in the US history in Germany when Bismarck initially ruled Prussia Prussian politics was dominated by these landlords called Junkers when he unified Germany he of course I had to listen to these Junkers but he also realized that he needs to provide protection to these newly emerging heavy and chemical industries the Junkers were not going to accept protection for these industries so he came up with this idea what later became known as the marriage of iron and rye the Junkers were mainly producing rye he wanted to protect industries like iron so he said okay we are going to protect both of you the Junkers get protection from new agriculture imports from the US, Argentina, Russia which were just beginning to flow in with the development of steamships and railways both in return we will also protect heavy industries that at least for a while worked very well and Germany to cover the UK as the supreme industrial power in Latin American countries this period of quite impressive industrialization between the 1930s and 50s were made possible because some of these politicians like Jethulio Vargas in Brazil Juan Perón in Argentina and Cardenas in Mexico they built this new political coalition of urban capitalists and workers against the landlords and for a while they provided protection to domestic manufacturing industries and actually they achieved quite impressive levels of industrialization in say for example 1960 South Korea's power capital manufacturing value added was something like $20 that in Mexico was $140 that in Argentina was over $200 the East Asian countries Japan Korea Taiwan they had land reform that got rid of the land load classes soon after the Second World War and then they had these regimes dedicated to industrialism which basically repressed the financial sector while it lost it basically the whole economic policy was geared towards the industrial sector rather than agriculture or financing Well, second political economy issue is known as the issue of embedded autonomy this term was invented by the American sociologist Peter Evans who compared the industrial policies in Brazil, Korea and India and came up with this conclusion that you need a state that is embedded in society has to have network and commitment to the society it cannot be made up of this elite who are not really interested in developing the domestic economy and society but this state also needs to have autonomy it has to be able to override sectional interests of certain groups of capitalist so that they can restructure the economy push it into new sectors raise productivity successful industrial policy requires pragmatism it is the countries that have shown flexibilities in the tools they use that were more successful in achieving their ultimate goals most extreme example is Singapore 90% of land in Singapore is owned by the government 22% of GDP produced by state-owned enterprises including the famous Singapore Airlines 85% of housing is supplied by the government-owned housing corporation called the housing board so it's an extreme example of a mixture of socialism and capitalism on the one hand you have free trade on the other hand you have 90% public ownership of land so I think pragmatism is quite important because a lot of policymakers become very ideological and they try to stick to that ideology while the world is moving on and you are not adapting to the changes in the world and then we come to the issue of implementation capabilities effective policy implementation requires capable people but unlike what most people think this doesn't mean hiring more economists for example, World Bank, IMF when they do capacity building program for policy improvement in developing countries their idea is basically to send people to Harvard and Oxford to get a degree in economics well, let me tell you the public officials that were behind the so-called East Asian miracle were largely not economists in Japan they were almost entirely lawyers in Korea they were more economists but they had very high proportion of lawyers and some engineers in China, in Taiwan they are mostly scientists and engineers and what little economics they knew were not free market economics not neoclassical economics especially in Japan there's a very strong influence but economists like Marx, Friedrich List and Joseph Schimpeter so they operated with these ideas basically what makes successful policymakers is different from what makes successful economists these people, yeah they need to know some economics but they need to have general intelligence the ability to learn skills to manage complex projects and the ability to maintain organization coherence what the qualities that are required for good policymakers is not the knowledge of economics also you have to remember that administrative capabilities are not simply possessed by individuals but also by organizations so what kind of command structure do you have what kind of institutional routines you have how you keep institutional memories what kind of records and archives do you have how do you rotate people between jobs so that you do not become silos how do inter-departmental coordination happens these things are far more important than what economists usually think and finally you need to design good incentive system for the recipients of industrial policy supports they need to be rewarded and punished according to performance there are many cases where the government only gave support and never punished the non-performers I mean the old regime in India is a classic example you had all these infant industries not transitioning into becoming other industries but sick industries so you don't grow up and then you are under protection for 30, 40 years and you cannot survive without protection so that's a clear failure of the incentive system for the recipients of your support of course you need state with embedded autonomy it has to be a state that is not hostile to business it has to understand the business world it has to have channels to discuss things with the business sector but not beholden to it because sometimes you have to make tough decisions and say well you had all this support nothing has changed we are going to cut this if you can announce the targets if you can announce the performance indicators and if you can announce the measures that you are going to take if things fail to go in the right way in advance it becomes more difficult to manipulate them through lobbying so that was the function of these five year plans that was the function of so many industrial policy documents white papers, green papers whatever research outputs from government-related research institute produced in countries like Japan and Korea and I think one last comment is that the discussion in this lecture shows how the real world is much more complex than economic theories knowledge it also shows how economic theories are often behind real world practices you know this supposedly new idea of information externality I mean that had been practiced in Malaysia for the last 50 years I mean with some mixed success and it also shows how real world successes and economic policies have often been made without the contribution of economists some may even say that because there was no contribution from economists I don't want to end this lecture in a negative way by suggesting that economics is useless but looking at these real world examples and analyzing different success cases you have to recognize the limitations of abstract theories and be more humble about what you can tell other people to do

Am I supposed to tell you about the benefits of pine needle tea when it's so darn foggy in here? Maybe if I just look over... BOOM! Whoa! Wrong room! What on earth is going on? Oh wait, I know. It's the fog of uncertainty caused by the lack of evidence and scientific data on pine needle tea. But it's okay, because today on Ascentric Nature we're gonna get rid of all this fog and give you all of the details about the benefits of pine needle tea. But first, what is pine needle tea? When people usually refer to pine needle tea in America. They are most often talking about the tea that comes from the eastern white pine tree. However, pine needle tea can come from any tree that has pine needles and is of course, edible. So it can refer to any number of pine varietals including the Juniper Ridge Douglas fir tree or any of these other babies right here too. Feel free to pause if you want to read them all. So if you're in Korea, you're probably drinking tea from the Manchurian Red or Korean Red Pine Tree. If you're in Europe or Western Asia, you could be having needles from the Himalayan Pine Tree. And if you're in China, your tea probably comes from the Chinese White Pine. Native Americans discovered the benefits of pine needle tea centuries ago and they used it to fight coughs, colds, and various illnesses. They even introduced it to the European settlers as a way to combat scurvy. Anti-viral and antifungal benefits. Our first stop as we start wading through the fog concerns the components of pine needle tea that inhibit the growth of bad microorganisms. These include pineene and limonene which are thought to reduce viral contagions by almost 100%. And let me do the math here. I don't think you can get much better than that. Now the best fog clearing study we have in this area is a 2011 Korean study on pine needle tea which showed that pine needles contain chikemic acid, a forerunner to the antiviral drug Tamiflu. Now several types of pine tree have been studied for their effectiveness against bacteria and fungi with some encouraging results. And only more time and research will tell. Get out of here fog. Blood pressure and heart benefits. Pine needle tea has catechin which has been shown in some studies to help with high blood pressure. In a 2016 study on pine needle extract, pine needle was shown to increase an enzyme that helps with oxidative stress. The use of pine needle extract was also shown to reduce bad cholesterol and even waste circumference. Anti-oxidant benefits. Now one of the best indicators of pine needle tea's benefits comes from a study that asserted that compared to other methods like supplements, having pine needles in your tea yielded a much higher level of antioxidants. Researchers have also found that pine needle extract can help protect your kidneys and liver. And while it doesn't clear out all of the evil fog, one study believes that pine needle tea could help boost the effectiveness of white blood cells. Workout benefits. Oh yeah. Pine needle tea can- Yeah. An initial 2014 study supported the idea that pine needle tea can be an effective aid to your nutritional regimen. Helping with muscle soreness, workout endurance, and effectiveness. The initial study was done on rats, so it keeps things a little bit hazy. So we need actual humans to pump out some studies to see just how beneficial it is. Brain and memory benefits. Needing to clear out that brain fog that it can affect many people and clothing myself. Now one of the reasons that monks and priests from all different regions of the world have drunk pine needle tea for centuries is because it's supposed to help your mental clarity and allow your mind and body to relax as well. The antioxidants and vitamins in pine needle tea have also been shown to help with brain function and health. Keeping your brain healthier longer. And now that that pine needle tea is helping us not be as foggy-brained, I can remember to tell you how a 2015 study helped reverse memory impairment in mice. And yet another 2017 study on mice showed that pine needles helped with stress-induced memory impairment as well. Depression benefits. Now a lot of people don't know that the precursor to the signs of scurvy is actually depression. And initial studies have found that pine needle tea could possibly help elevate your mood. To affect this amorphous cloud of depression that affects so many people these days. Now early studies have been primarily on improving symptoms of depression. And there isn't any research yet on how it affects people with actual mood disorders. So take this all with a grain of salt or a couple grams of pine needles. Respiratory and cold benefits. As I mentioned earlier, indigenous Americans have used white pine for ages as an expectorant and decongestant. Pine needle tea is believed to be good at fighting chest infections by clearing out that tenacious mucus and helping to calm those harsh coughs. And while there isn't any research yet to clarify this ability, the extensive anecdotal evidence is very promising. Skin, hair, and eye health. Most of what we know about pine needle tea's abilities for this category is due to its strong vitamin A, C, and E content. One study found that one-year-old pine needle had 1.18 milligrams of vitamin C per gram of pine needles. Which is more than twice that of oranges. And some people claim it as 5 times the vitamin C of lemons. The trouble is that the nutritional numbers on pine needles can vary wildly. Depending on the type of pine, the time of year you harvest it, and exactly how old the tree is. And one of the big problems that makes this all very hazy is there hasn't been any quality, in-depth research done on the vitamin and mineral levels of pine needles. I mean heck, pine needles don't even show up on the USDA food site. Though yes, we do know pine needles have good levels of these three vitamins and much more. We just don't have good research to back up exactly how much. So, getting back to the point. Can pine needle tea help with skin, hair, and eye health? Yes, very probably. We just can't say for sure yet. Other possible benefits. This is where things remain really foggy for pine needle tea. There is this epic list of things people say pine needle tea could be good for. So yes, you can try it for any of these things. Just don't say that I told you definitively that it is definitely good for these things. Cause it didn't, okay? So how do you actually drink pine needle tea? Very good question. As I've seen a variety of different recipes. But if this is your first time trying it, I'd start with no more than two tablespoons per cup of water. And most people will say use boiling water from anywhere to five to twenty minutes, depending on how strong you want it. Just keep in mind, if you oversteep pine needle tea, it is prone to get very bitter. So I would also error for a shorter steeping time on your first time trying it. Dangerous of pine needle tea. There are about twenty known toxic varieties of pine trees. Ponderosa pine, Lodgepole pine, Norfolk Island pine, Monterey pine, Australian pine, and the U pine. Also, when you're having pine needle tea, be careful to read that label. And this is because commercially wild harvested tea is thought to be not as good for you, compared to sustainably harvested tea. And if you're thinking about it, which some of you probably are, don't just go out there and brew up some of those needles off of your Christmas tree. Check first to make sure your variety of Christmas tree is safe to use. For example, in the U.S., you can get Christmas trees in the Leland or Arizona Cypress or Red Cedar varietals. Side effects. Now we've already talked about how there are various types of poisonous pine trees out there. So we won't go into detail on those trees, just the pine needle tea that is safe for you. Get it? Got it? Good. Now the good news. There are no direct side effects currently attributed to pine needle tea. The bad news. Come on! If you are allergic to pine trees, it is highly possible that you can experience throat damage, nausea, or diarrhea when having pine needle tea. As always, be careful which drugs you take with it, as it can affect the balance of your system in combination with prescription drugs. The same goes for pregnant women. There isn't any research how it's going to affect you or your baby. So just don't use it or use it sparingly while you're pregnant. And that's it. There aren't any other known side effects, the pine needle tea. Sweet. If you want to learn more about tea, then watch one of these sexy videos right here. Otherwise, please be kind, take care of each other, and hopefully you're out of that fog of uncertainty and on your way to enjoying some great smelling pine needle tea.

U.S. Leadership in Atrocity Prevention
|
A First Look at the New U.S. Strategy to Anticipate, Prevent and Respond to Atrocities
From Ukraine to Myanmar, mass atrocities continue to inflict devastating harm on targeted communities. These crimes — from the ongoing atrocities against the Uyghurs to the mass targeting of civilians and ethnic minorities in Tigray to systematic attacks against civilians in Ukraine — underscore the enduring need for U.S. leadership in atrocity prevention. The release of the U.S. Strategy to Anticipate, Prevent and Respond to Atrocities sets forth a government-wide approach for identifying, preventing and responding to the risk of atrocities and advances atrocity prevention as a national security priority. With atrocity risk alarmingly high for vulnerable civilian populations around the globe, such a strategy is critical for effective atrocity prevention efforts.
On July 20, USIP, the Simon Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the U.S. State Department held a discussion of the newly released U.S. Strategy to Anticipate, Prevent and Respond to Atrocities — as well as looked at the work of the Atrocity Prevention Task Force has made over the past year as documented through its 2022 report to Congress as part of the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act.

Good morning and welcome. My name is Lisa Grande and I am the President of the United States Institute of Peace, which was created by Congress in 1984 as a national nonpartisan public institution dedicated to helping prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict abroad. We are honored today to be launching the 2022 US strategy to anticipate, prevent, and respond to atrocities. And to also present the 2022 report to Congress, a mandated report required by the Eli Weisel Genocide and Atrocity Prevention Act. It's a privilege to be partnering today with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and the US Department of State for the launch of these two reports. USIP is proud to have been part of an alliance of institutions and groups that have long advocated for a stronger, smarter US approach to preventing and responding to atrocities. In 2009, USIP co-chaired the Genocide Prevention Task Force with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The task force, which was expertly led by the late Secretary of State, Madeline Albright and former Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, helped to establish the seminal policy framework for preventing acts of mass atrocity and genocide and to make this issue a central pillar of our national security. It's a true honor for the Institute to be hosting this important discussion with leaders from across the United States government and the Atrocity Prevention Task Force itself. I'm very pleased to welcome Naomi Kikola to the podium. Naomi is the director of the Simon Schott Center for the Prevention of Genocide at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where she leads the Center's policy engagement with the US government and works with the bearing witness countries. Naomi previously worked at the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect at Amnesty International in Canada. She worked for the UN Office of the Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide. She worked at the Office of the Prosecutor at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and with the Carter Center. Naomi is the author of numerous publications, including flagship reports on atrocity prevention for the Holocaust Museum, the Nexus Fund for the UN and the Jacob Blasting Institute. Naomi, welcome. Thank you so much, ladies. I'd like to thank our co-hosts, the United States Institute of Peace, the State Department and in particular the Bureau of Conflict Stabilization Operations. I'd like to thank Attorney General Merrick Garland for his participation and for signaling the importance the Department of Justice puts on atrocity prevention, all the speakers and those joining virtually. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum serves as a memorial to the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and as a symbol of the horrors that can occur when hate goes unchecked. The Simon Scott Center for the Prevention of Genocide is a living embodiment of the museum's commitment to never again. We know that mass atrocities inflict irreparable harm on individuals, families and communities. We know that mass atrocities can potentially destabilize states and regions and undermine hard fought investments in development along with economic prosperity. We're joined here today by representatives of communities who have suffered genocide and other mass atrocities and who know the cost of insufficient response. And this risk ahead is glaring. At the Atrocity Prevention, as the Atrocity Prevention Strategy notes, at the end of 2020, the early warning project, a partnership between the museum and Dartmouth College had identified a record high of 20 episodes of ongoing mass killing. But there are bright spots. In the past decade, we've seen the US government take important steps to advance prevention. We've seen people from across government come together to share early warning information, to develop and implement prevention strategies, and ultimately to save lives. We have seen that investments in prevention can work. The release of the US strategy to anticipate, prevent, and respond to atrocities is a welcome step forward. The strategy articulates an all of government approach to tackling one of the most urgent problems of our time. It stresses the importance of consulting with civil society, coordinating across agencies, and evaluating and adapting responses. The strategy clearly reaffirms that preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States. And it clearly tasks different agencies and departments to create concrete steps to advance this goal. This includes explicitly calling for the integration of atrocity prevention into applicable functional and regional policy processes and strategies. In doing so, it seeks to elevate the priority placed on atrocity prevention and address what are all too often impediments to action. It takes humility to learn from the past and adjust course. We're glad the strategy embraces the retrospection necessary to ensure that future responses benefit from the lessons of the past. We at the Simon Scott Center for the Prevention of Genocide have embarked on a lessons learned project in order to identify lessons from history and research on policy tools that can potentially help prevent future genocides and related crimes against humanity. We know that the atrocity prevention field is relatively young and that asking questions about what has worked well and when may make us all more successful in heading off these crimes in the future. The release of this strategy is an example of the United States taking a leadership role in prioritizing atrocity prevention and should serve as a blueprint for other governments. We thank those who have worked for years to help birth this strategy and to sustain the commitment to the prevention of atrocities. We must remember that the real test will be how effectively and how fully this strategy is implemented. There are too many communities today in South Sudan, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Burma and China to name a few who are counting on the US and other countries to make sure that preventing mass atrocities against them is of the highest priority. Too many of them have been left wanting and successfully implementing this strategy can help secure a safer future for communities around the world. The strategy does not occur in a vacuum to achieve these goals will take committed government officials, civil society partners and congressional leadership to ensure it is adhered to. It is now my deep honor to introduce Dora Klayman, a survivor of the Holocaust and volunteer at the museum since 1999. Her story is a solemn reminder of the magnitude of harm that genocide and other mass atrocities can inflict and the importance of the task before all of us. My name is Dora Klayman. It is an honor to be here today as the US government launches its strategy to anticipate, prevent and respond to atrocities. As a Holocaust survivor and longtime museum volunteer, I know all too well that atrocity prevention needs to be a priority for the US government. I was born in January 1938 in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, a country cobbled together after World War I. It was a country of differing historical alliances, several languages and various religions. Following the German invasion of Yugoslavia in April of 1941, and with the support of Nazi Germany, the ultra nationalist group, the Ustache, assumed leadership of the so-called independent state of Croatia, partly independent. It was a puppet government of Germany, eager to persecute anyone who was not aligned with them politically or was not Croatian and Catholic. Specifically, that included communists, Roma, Serbs and Jews. My maternal family members lived in Lubric, a small town in the north of Croatia. My grandfather, the town's rabbi, had served the Jewish community there for many years. Our family had a very cordial relationship with a predominantly Catholic population. And for the 40 years my family lived there, practically no anti-Semitic incidents occurred. My aunt Giza and her long-time partner, Józebeth Lutba-Rancic, a local bank director, had all but decided not to marry. But they changed their minds once the fear of German invasion came upon them. The hope was that Lutba's Catholic identity would protect Giza from persecution. By June, 1941, just a few months after the Nazis marched into Yugoslavia, my parents and infant brothers, Vrothko, were arrested. My father was deported to Yassanovac, concentration camp, and my mother was sent to Stara Gradiška, a sub-camp of Yassanovac. Neither survived. Fortunately, my little brother was saved by our housekeeper and brought to Lubric, where I had been staying with my extended family. My brother and I were first sheltered by our grandparents, but by 1942, nearly the entire Jewish community of Lutba had been deported, including my grandparents and the majority of my family members. All were soon killed in Yassanovac. We were left behind with my aunt Giza and her Catholic husband, Lutba. In 1943, Lutba was arrested on suspicion of supporting the partisan-resistant movement and was sent to Yassanovac. In his absence, my aunt Giza was denounced, arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died from illness, shortly after arrival. During this time, my brother and I hid with our Catholic neighbors, the Runjaks, and pretended to be their children. Most people in Lutbra knew we were Jewish, but they never denounced us. Sometime later, Lutba was released, along with other political prisoners. Fearing the worst and having been warned that the local priest made threats towards us while we were with the Runjak family, my brother and I were baptized for added protection. After liberation, we waited in vain for our family members to return. Once convinced that our parents would not return, Uncle Lutba adopted us, my brother and me, and we sought to rebuild our lives. The history of the Holocaust, my history, is the ultimate example of the world's failure to prevent genocide. And tragically, we know the genocide did not end with the Holocaust. What became my country after World War II, Yugoslavia, experienced yet another genocide in more recent times. We have continued to witness in many parts of the world, such as Rwanda, Iraq, Darfur, and Burma, persecution based on religious or ethnic identity. I'm grateful for the US government's commitment to track early warning sign of mass atrocities, respond effectively, and support communities in their recovery from these crimes. But all of us, whether we are government officials, survivors of the Holocaust or other genocides, or concerned citizens must remain vigilant to the risks of mass atrocities wherever civilians may be threatened and rededicate our efforts to make never again a reality. Everyone joins me in paying tribute to the extraordinary journey of Madame Clayman and all of the survivors of genocide everywhere. We are greatly honored now to welcome and to present the Attorney General of the United States, the Honorable Merrick Garland. As our nation's Chief Law Enforcement Officer, Attorney General Garland leads the Justice Department's 115,000 employees who work across the United States and in more than 50 countries worldwide. Attorney General Garland previously served first as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and from 2013 to 2020 as Chief Judge of the Circuit. Attorney General Garland also served with distinction as the Chair of the Executive Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 2017 to 2020. Before becoming our nation's Attorney General, Attorney General Garland served under five other Attorney Generals including a Special Assistant to the Attorney General, Assistant United States Attorney, Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. We're now pleased to present his comments. Thank you to Lee's Grande and the United States Institute of Peace for hosting today's important discussion. And thank you to Dora Clayman for sharing your story on behalf of your family and on behalf of the millions who could not. Preventing and responding to atrocities is an undertaking that is as immense and complex as it is urgent. And as the President has said, it is a core national security imperative and a core moral imperative for the United States. At the Justice Department, our historical role in this effort has been to hold accountable those who perpetrate war crimes and to help other countries do the same. In the wake of World War II, it was a former Attorney General, Robert Jackson, who served as the Chief Prosecutor for the United States, the investigation and prosecution of Nazi war criminals during the Nuremberg trials. Decades later in 1979, the Justice Department created the Office of Special Investigations to identify, investigate, denaturalize and deport Nazi war criminals from the United States. In addition, that office provided support to foreign counterparts in bringing to justice perpetrators and other jurisdictions. Over the course of decades, prosecutors and investigators in that office worked tirelessly to track down and hold accountable war criminals around the world. Ms. Clayman described in her moving remarks, the horror faced by members of her family deported to the Asinovitz concentration camp in occupied Yugoslavia. Over 50 years later, the Justice Department worked with international partners to gather the evidence that helped lead to the extradition from Argentina and eventual conviction in Croatia of the commander of that concentration camp. Our past provides important context to the work the department is doing today to respond to atrocities. Over the past several months, the world has seen evidence of brutal atrocities being committed against the people of Ukraine. In response, the Justice Department is building on our historic work to hold war criminals accountable. Last month, I traveled to Ukraine or I met with our partners there who have been relentless and courageous in their investigation and prosecution of war crimes and other atrocities in Ukraine. During my trip, I announced the creation of a war crimes accountability team within the department to advance our own investigations of potential war crimes and to support the work of our international partners in their own investigations. This team is providing a wide range of technical assistance on criminal cases and investigations, including evidence collection and forensic analysis. Immediately after traveling to Ukraine, I met in France with my European counterparts to coordinate our ongoing efforts alongside our Ukrainian partners to ensure accountability for war crimes and force violations of US and EU sanctions. To lead this effort, I asked Eli Rosenbaum to serve as the Justice Department's counselor for war crimes accountability. Mr. Rosenbaum is a 36-year veteran of the Justice Department. He previously served as director of the Office of Special Investigations, which I mentioned earlier and which was responsible for identifying, tracking down and bringing to justice Nazi war criminals. Last week, Mr. Rosenbaum and his team joined a State Department-led delegation to the Ukraine Accountability Conference at The Hague to coordinate international accountability efforts. We are hopeful that our approach toward addressing war crimes in Ukraine can serve as a model for our future efforts to address and respond to atrocities. The Justice Department is committed to investigating and prosecuting the perpetrators of war crimes that fall within our jurisdiction, and we are committed to providing capacity-building, training, and support to foreign partners in their efforts to do the same. The Justice Department believes that prosecuting the perpetrators of atrocities is an essential element of prevention and deterrence, but we also believe that we have a moral obligation to hold accountable those who are responsible for these crimes. For me, this work is also a personal obligation. My grandmother was one of five children born in what is now Belarus. In the early 20th century, four of the siblings tried to come to the United States. Three made it, the fourth was turned back at Ellis Island, and the fifth did not try. The two who stayed behind died in the Holocaust. We know that this work cannot bring back the family members many of us around the world have lost to genocide and atrocity, but it can and it will send a clear message that there is no hiding place for those who perpetrate these horrors. Thank you all for your work and support of that effort. Thank you so much, Attorney General, for those incredibly powerful and also personal words, and for reiterating the importance of the need for a multi-generational long-term commitment to these issues. I think the example that you just gave of the innovation that DOJ is bringing to the situation in the Ukraine, the creation of a new team led by Eli Rosenbaum is an incredible example of how the US government is working to put into practice the commitments that are encapsulated in the strategy. And with that, we're really fortunate to be joined today with a number of remarkable colleagues from within the US government who are charged with leading on the implementation of these efforts. And I wanted to just take a quick moment to introduce the panelists. We're joined today with Rob Foshe, the principal deputy assistant secretary of the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations at the US Department of State. Nithi Buri, the acting senior director for development, global health, and humanitarian response at the US National Security Council. Ambassador Beth Thinskac, the ambassador at large for global criminal justice at the US Department of State. Robert Jenkins, the assistant to the administrator, Bureau of Conflict Prevention and Stabilization at USAID. And then Michelle Struck, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for global partnerships at the US Department of Defense. So really a remarkable group that we had the privilege to be able to hear from about this incredibly important new strategy and development. Rob, as co-hosts with you and CSO, and given the important role that CSO plays as the secretariat for the task force on atrocity prevention and early warning, I wanted to turn to you to help us just better understand what are the key components of the strategy and how you are gonna move forward on implementing them. Well, thank you very much and thank all of you for joining us this morning and watching from your offices or homes. This is a hugely important meeting. We're very pleased that USIP pulled this together to talk about our efforts on preventing and responding to atrocity and the launch of this new strategy, which I think is gonna be critical to moving us forward. It's important to note that a lot of the work that we do and that will be covered by this strategy is already ongoing. We're not talking about a lot of new programs or projects, but we're talking about bringing them all into an alignment with the goal of anticipating, preventing, and responding to genocide, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. We're taking steps at an earlier stage now than just to respond to these crimes once they have occurred. And the strategy's idea is that we need to bring the government together, all the disparate elements, the diffuse elements that we're doing so that we have a very kind of combined and articulated goal that we're moving toward in terms of the prevention effort. And that's the main theme, I think, of this strategy and why it is so important. It lets us at the State Department talk to our colleagues more directly through the atrocity prevention task force about the efforts they're doing to prevent and to take other efforts to anticipate a atrocity wherever it may occur and by whomever. It lets us assess the work that we're doing, see the gaps, and then suggest what else could possibly be done. And this is all hugely important for the U.S. government. Now, the title of this meeting is U.S. Leadership in Atrocity Prevention. And I wanna underline that, why this is so important. No other country in the world has a law like the LA Vissel Genocide and Atrocity Prevention Act. And it is recognized by our partners around the world as a model for action, as a call for action. And they are listening and they are emulating and coming toward our same kind of objectives. No other country now has a strategy that the United States has to anticipate and prevent and respond to atrocity. And they are looking at this closely, both our partners as well as others who are committing these crimes to understand where the United States is going and what we're gonna bring to bear to try to stop these heinous events from occurring. Now, the strategy is really the next step in these efforts that I've been going on for almost 10 years now, if not longer. As I said, we're aligning our efforts to disrupt the processes that lead to atrocity. The earlier, the better. Everybody responds to atrocity once it occurs. We recognize it. But we need to start ahead of time so that we can stop the process from getting to that point. And that is one of the main strengths of this strategy. Secondly, we are trying to assist countries around the world that we have determined need help in protecting their citizens from the threat of atrocity, helping them with the resiliences, with their governments, with their services so that the climate for atrocity is pushed aside and people are able to respond and look to their governments for the protections they so greatly need and desire. And then lastly, of course, is responding to the crimes once they occur. And the strategy emphasizes the importance of looking at the survivors. The response should be survivor centered. It should take into account a sort of a trauma-informed approach to the survivors to help people who have survived or gone through these terrible events so that they come out better and stronger. Now, all this work is being led by the Atrocity Prevention Task Force under a work plan that we've adopted on an annual basis. The goal that we have in the strategy is for timely, effective action to anticipate, prevent, respond to atrocity in coordination with our partners. That is both bilateral partners, multilateral agencies, and local partners in all the countries we're concerned of under the overall direction of the Atrocity Prevention Task Force. Under the first goal of the early action and locally driven sort of efforts, we are identifying priority countries where we want to partner with them to help them build their strengths and resiliency to the threat of atrocity. Under the law, we have to identify 30 countries which we're in the process of doing, developing a short list of countries where we will look at more closely what they're doing. Of those 30 countries, we will prioritize among them where we think we could have the most effective action and that's the process that this strategy is pursuing, even after we're speaking now. Once we have identified those priority countries, we will do assessments, we will look for gaps in what's happening there, where we might be able to assist better either directly or with our partners bilaterally and in other places. Again, we're emphasizing the need for those countries to increase their ability to protect their own citizens from the threat of atrocity. And through doing that, we hope that we will develop best practices through a monitoring and evaluation and a learning process that will have application in other countries around the world, improving the way the United States leads efforts to again prevent and anticipate and respond to atrocity. In terms of partnerships, we are working with other countries that are with us through various either formal fora at the United Nations or informal fora like the International Atrocity Prevention Working Group to share data, to share information, to share best practices of what's going on and to make sure that in those countries that we're most concerned about, we're all working for the same policy outcome, not just program outcome, but policy so that we can improve the situations in those countries to the maximum extent. This is not something the United States can do alone. This is something that has to be done with others. Lastly, and I know I'm going on too long here, internally for the United States government, this strategy allows us to start doing the same sort of practice, talking to our partners throughout the interagency to make sure that they understand this is a priority. This is something for which we will be held accountable. We have to say, what are we doing? And in a year's time, we're gonna look back and say, did you do it and how successful were you? And that's what the strategy is all about. So it has this wonderful internal component as well as an external component. So let me leave it at that, thank you. That was great Rob, thank you so much for that. I think there were three things that really stood out. One is again the priority on early warning but also seeing the early warning assessments and the analysis also of crimes that may be occurring or imminent integrated into broader country strategies. So really having a conversation between those who are working on the regional work, the functional side and the thematic side. So just making sure that you've, sorry the regional functional branches of state are coming together and a whole of government response. And then also the importance that you're putting on engaging with survivor communities, ensuring that local civil society is informing what the response should be and that there's assistance given, including by USAID and others, to local peace building efforts and public prevention efforts. But that last piece that you said around the international response, the need for there to be a multilateral response. We all know that there is no one government who alone can play a determining role in terms of preventing these particular crimes but that in concert with actions taken with like-minded governments, regional institutions, local partners, we have a far better chance of averting the worst possible outcomes. And hopefully this blueprint serves, this strategy serves as a blueprint for the countries that you mentioned that are part of the International Trosy Prevention Working Group. It would be great to see other countries now develop similar strategies. Nithi, just picking up on that last point just about how to really galvanize a whole of government response. The White House has a really important role in signaling the importance of these particular issues. And I was just wondering if you could speak a little bit about how you plan on approaching and how you have been approaching, really underscoring that a trustee prevention is a core national security priority and not just, but of course, it's incredibly important, a moral responsibility as well. Thanks. Sure, thank you, Naomi. And thanks to the organizers of this event. At first, I'd like to just highlight President Biden's leadership since the start of the administration on converging and highlighting a range of global pressures and trends that elevate the importance of a trustee prevention. As you've seen since the start of his presidency, the president has set out an ambitious but critical agenda to restore the United States' role to combat a range of global threats and challenges. This includes defending democracy and advancing human rights, promoting the role of women and amplifying the voices of women leaders, whether as civil society, members of civil society or as elected officials and advancing and promoting women's meaningful participation in their communities with the vision of promoting and realizing a more equitable and just world, combating climate change and recommitting to multilateralism. So what does that all mean for a trustee prevention? It means that having acknowledged these threats, these challenges and the importance of addressing them, we have an opportunity as a U.S. government to make progress in more intentionally and deliberately considering how these factors and trends influence the trustee prevention agenda and in turn how a trustee prevention can actually be woven into addressing all of those challenges as well, which brings me to how we are treating the prevention of mass atrocities as a core national security threat and as a core moral responsibility. We in the U.S. government, as many of you know, have a legal framework that not only mandates but supports our work. We have a family of laws related to this work, starting with the Women, Peace and Security Act of 2017, the Elewazeel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act in 2018 and subsequently the Global Fragility Act in 2019 that provide us some goals post as the U.S. government. Collectively, these laws elevate our violence and conflict prevention efforts that are critical as an anchor to our efforts to prevent mass atrocities. We are a few years into the implementation of some of these laws and still nascent in others, but the research, advocacy and lessons learned in all of these areas have been around for a long time and as Rob noted, this is not new work for the U.S. government, it's essentially moving it forward. And yet a lot of work remains to be done to transform this knowledge into clear and meaningful action on a trustee prevention that goes beyond words on paper. At the outset of the Biden administration, we launched an interagency process to revitalize the U.S. government's efforts on atrocity prevention specifically. The goal is to avert the catastrophic generational human, economic, security and development toll of mass atrocities by better institutionalizing aspects of prevention throughout our system and our processes. This builds on the leadership of President Obama and his efforts outlined in the 2010 National Security Strategy and articulated in the Presidential Study Directive number 10, which led to the establishment of the Atrocities Prevention Board and then followed up with the Lee Wiesel Act. Now in 2022, the imperative to prevent and respond to mass atrocities remains not only relevant, but growing. Into the second year of our administration, we continue to see ongoing human rights and humanitarian crises in Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Burma and now Ukraine, just to name a few. And the ongoing repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising tide of authoritarianism and acute impacts of climate change on already vulnerable populations and all of these collectively demonstrate the continued urgency to pursue the atrocity prevention and response efforts that our government can undertake. And now we have the first ever strategy focused on atrocity prevention. This is an important and critical step in articulating our commitment and holding ourselves in the US government accountable. We hope that our international partners will follow suit so we can further consolidate our collective efforts and work together to advance them. We only need to follow the news to see the images currently from Ukraine and from all the countries that are not even being represented in our news outlets to understand why this work is so important. The Atrocity Prevention Task Force, which the National Security Council leads, remains in place, meets regularly with little fanfare and continues the work begun under the Atrocity Prevention Board. As a reminder, this is an interagency body composed of members of departments and agencies across the US government, each with a unique set of diplomatic assistance, defense and other tools to be leveraged towards the purpose of preventing atrocities, mitigating human suffering and ultimately saving lives. To emphasize, I just wanna note that many of the members are actually represented here. It is the experts that we have, the practitioners, the advisors, the officers and the leaders in the US government that compose this effort. Because the LA Wazil Act means that all of us in the US government, not just the atrocity prevention people or the conflict people or the development people or the gender people, need to regard atrocity prevention as a core national interest, all of us. And that's why this is a whole of government effort that is not meant to be siloed or stove piped as an initiative, but rather is something that is weaving together a range of efforts for a common goal. I'll just close with noting that the establishment of the Stabilization and Prevention Steering Committee, a high-level oversight mechanism called for by the Global Fragility Act, further and is further enshrined in our US strategy to prevent conflict and promote stability. We intend to continue to elevate atrocity prevention efforts. Thank you. Thank you so much, Anthony, for that. And for just underscoring how important and critical it is for there to be continued leadership across administrations, and you noted the efforts of President Biden, and I think it's with great humility, we recognize that over the last 20 years, every US president has confronted genocide on their watch. And you also underscored just how important congressional leadership is. The acts that you mentioned, be it the Global Fragility Act or the Elie Wiesel Act, of which the report was recently released as well, was a result of efforts taken by congressional champions, Senator Cardin and Senator Young in that regard to move it forward. And just the import that you put on the intersection of trying to find a comprehensive approach to advance these agendas, which I think aligns with many of our views that advancing atrocity prevention, as you said, is in the core national security interest. This is not in competition with other interests, rather it's to compliment the broader goals that the US government has in the countries where we're concerned about crimes occurring. Picking up on that theme, Ambassador Bernstein, the report talks in great detail both the Elie Wiesel report and the atrocity prevention strategy about the importance of accountability. And that's something that has increasingly come to the fore, especially as we just noted in the Attorney General's remarks in the context of the Ukraine. And I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about how accountability efforts are conceptualized and understood as being part of the atrocity prevention strategy and US government efforts. Great, thanks so much. And thanks to everyone for being here and for our conveners. It's a really important conversation. I'm honored to be a part of it, especially with my interagency colleagues that are all working really every day on trying to advance this mandate. So my office is the Office of Global Criminal Justice. We were originally formed to be a liaison with the international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and then under Secretary Clinton, we expanded the mandate to include the whole range of transitional justice responses. And so now our role working with partner bureaus and offices within the State Department and then other agencies across the executive branch and also with the champions on the Hill is to help advise the US government, including our posts and embassies on how nations have historically and are currently responding to the commission of abuses in their midst. This may be sort of governmental repression. It could be armed conflict. It could be mass atrocities rising to the level of crimes against humanity or genocide. So we're called the Office of Global Criminal Justice, but we really think about justice as being very broadly defined. And we focus on the whole range of tools within the transitional justice toolkit. So this includes retributive justice, so criminal processes, but also elements of restorative justice, thinking about truth telling, thinking about reparation of survivors, thinking about instantiating guarantees of non-repetition, so societies will not repeat the violence of the past. And it has been shown both in empirical research and also in kind of deep dives of particular communities that societies emerging from periods of violence and repression are at a much higher risk of returning to violence or repression if they don't address the crimes of the past. We've seen this with large data sets and we've seen this with close research into particular situations, including through a number of affiliates of the Holocaust Museum. And so the goal of transitional justice practitioners is to find a bespoke set of responses to a situation of violence. And so criminal prosecutions is very important for a whole host of reasons. One is the expressive function of the criminal law. It signals that a particular course of conduct, policy, activities are unlawful, they're unlawful under domestic law, they're unlawful under international law, they're not to be tolerated, individuals should be held accountable. It also provides an opportunity for victims and survivors to reestablish a sort of set of dignity. If they were in a situation in which they were repressed or suffering from oppression within a particular community, they're suddenly able to tell their story, have it be acknowledged, have a court of law, either domestic or international or hybrid, indicate that indeed the abuses that you suffered were unlawful and should never have happened and you're entitled to some level of repair and redress. Criminal trials can also form a truth telling function in order to create a kind of historical record to bring together testimony, to bring together empirical information, to bring together documents to show how a particular course of conduct happened, why particular communities were targeted, why particular individuals were targeted. So there's a whole host of reasons why criminal trials can be important in the aftermath of violence, but it's not the only response. And I think if we look at areas where they've had a successful transitional justice policy or practice put in place, we see a whole range of other responses. So this includes truth telling. We know from the Latin American history and experience that truth commissions have been extremely important institutions in the aftermath of violence to take the testimony of a whole range of individuals to understand the consequences, the patterns of violence, understand who the actors were. Often they give perpetrators the opportunity to tell their own story, why they found themselves in a situation in which they were committing abuses, how the order of battle worked, how orders were given, how the chain of command functioned. All of that can be done in a truth telling institution like a truth commission. They will often produce a report that will contain very detailed recommendations about how to avoid this in the future, what sort of concrete reforms need to be made. And this is in many respects, the world of say USAID or CSO, working much farther upstream to put in place measures institutions that will ensure resiliency against efforts by individuals who would use violence to consolidate their power, to prevent those individuals from being successful and from essentially taking over state institutions and using them as tools of oppression. The other things we're looking for is things like vetting, right? Removing individuals from positions of power who were associated with abuses in a prior regime and ensuring that they don't have a role in a new government, in a new civilian led government on a different trajectory. And so using what we call lustration can be extremely important and these truth telling functions can help to identify individuals that were responsible for abuses or were part of a system that generated abuses. And then the final pillar of transitional justice that we often think about are these recurrences of non-repetition. And these can be things like the reforms that may come out of a truth commission process, but also thinking about memorialization, acknowledging abuses, these lustration efforts that are put in place to sort of bring a new crop of civil servants to the fore who are committed to a democratic pathway. And so the hope is that by engaging in a number of these measures after the fact as part of the response prong of the SAPRA strategy, that will engage in prevention by acknowledging abuses, by giving rehabilitation to victims and survivors and putting in place measures that will prevent a recurrence of violence. So much for that and for just the really comprehensive and holistic approach to justice and accountability that you articulated. I think one of the things that so many of us working in this space here over and over again with our colleagues and those who are facing atrocity crimes is that plea for we want justice. But as you just articulated justice means so many different things depending on the context and the individual and the community. And it serves so many different functions from the truth-telling and the historical record to the criminal responsibility to the efforts at non-recurrence. So thank you for just so clearly kind of outlining that in such a meticulous manner. I wanted to talk, Rob, a little bit about this question of what works. As I mentioned, we released a major project earlier this week looking at lessons learned in terms of tools. And we are kind of early into the kind of building of this atrocity prevention field and it is a really important moment to kind of look backwards and see if we can evaluate the efforts that we've been making to monitor them. And so I was hoping that you could talk a little bit about how you plan to kind of adapt the approaches to integrate some of those lessons that are being learned and critically how you overcome some of the bureaucratic and political obstacles that sometimes come into play when trying to assess past cases and lessons learned. Well, thank you very much. You're asking for a lot there, right? How do we overcome the bureaucratic obstacles? How do we make sure things work? How do we monitor and evaluate that? And then how do we change our patterns of behavior? Let me start out just by thanking all of you who have brought us here today. It's always an honor to be on this stage in this beautiful building. And any of you that have worked in government see those five seals on a strategy, that's hard work. It might look like a pretty pamphlet. That's hard work to get the interagency wrestled together to agree on, if you read it, very practical steps but important steps. I want to thank Nidhi and our colleagues at the NSC I often use the Atrocity Prevention Task Force as an example of how it can work, how we can get things together. That's how we start to do things differently. At USAID, we have brought together all the different, I like that you kept saying weaving. That is, it's weaving. We have weaved together the different threads in, the Attorney General said that this is, the challenge is immense and complex as is our government. How do you pull all those things together and put them on target? As was said, it's not new work. But we have a legal, thanks to Congress, a legal imperative but also a moral imperative to be better, to do better, to do this work better. So at AID, what we have done is pulled together what we call the Peace and Security Council. It's humanitarians. It's the Atrocity Prevention Specialists. It's the stabilization experts. It's the women, peace and security people. It's the regional bureaus. It's all of our bureaus, regional and functional. Comes together every two weeks because all of these things are separate, important, but overlapping. And you ask what works? What works is early prevention. As Isabel Coleman, our deputy administrator says, the question isn't whether we can prevent atrocities. We can do that. The question is can we act soon enough when prevention is still possible? One of the things I like about this strategy is we're not identifying one, two, three, four places. We're identifying 30 different countries at risk. Because if we're really gonna have a difference, it's way before it hits the news. By the time it hits the news, by the time it's on the front page, we're into documentation. We're into what can we do for accountability? But our ability to save lives with foreign assistance once the atrocities are happened are very limited. The further you back up, the further upstream you go, the more options we have. And we're not gonna get there with atrocity prevention programming alone. We're gonna get there at how do we do that agriculture program? Where do we do that justice program? Which civil society groups are we working with? And what are we knitting together, weaving together in those communities? By the time they're shutting down the internet, it's a little late. We need to work with governments. We need to work with civil society so that these places don't shut down the internet. So that these groups that are on the margins, literally sometimes on the margins, feel that this government, whatever government that is, speaks for them and they are part of that government. So you asked, what works? Start earlier. Wrestle the bureaucracy, though, to a problem that doesn't exist yet is so much easier said than done. This town runs on the front page. This town runs on how many people can sit in the situation room all day long on, they can only do on so many things at once, right? So it's really hard to get attention and that means money for a problem that doesn't exist yet. This, at least, says we're gonna try. And if we wanna hold ourselves accountable, we can try to do that, we're not good at that. That's where we need civil society. That's where we need all of you. But most importantly, that's where we need our local partners in country. Because all of this comes down to local partners, the localization agenda. It's, we can think we're changing the world, but if folks in that country don't think so, then we're not. They are the ones that are gonna be able to say, this is a stupid idea, or you said you were going to do this and you did not. That's how we do it. Because one source, two sources, three sources, the risks are so high in these places. Everyone's biased. There's disinformation throwing all over the place. Security is a threat. We can't rely on ourselves. We can't rely on our donor partners. We can't rely on local organizations. We need to be talking to all of them in constant dialogue, assessing each other and coming at this from all directions where we're not gonna get anywhere. Thanks. Thank you, Rob. I really appreciate just your frankness and also articulating how the city works, which is quite frustrating for those of us who are working on. Well, but it did make me think about what Nithi said when you said that the task force convenes but without a lot of fanfare. And if you think about this agenda and you think about the years and decades and the amount of time that it's taken to get, for example, even as you said, the different agencies and departments that are on the outside of the strategy together, if we do this work well, it's work that's done without a lot of fanfare. If we don't do it well, that's when we see it on the front pages and that's when we see the kind of ramping up in the conversations. And our aim is really to try to make sure that this is integrated much earlier into the thinking and the lifeblood of everyone who's working on this, both inside government and outside. And I will note that one thing the strategy does talk a lot about and USAID and state both have specifically kind of earmarked programs around this is on training. Training people that are going to be sent to countries where these crimes are at risk or are occurring to help empower officials to be able to report back and to be able to have that more contextually based understanding of what may work, test, calibrate, change the responses. So thank you for that. Michelle, really fortunate to have you participate in a way because sometimes DOD is the least understood partner when it comes to atrocity prevention when we think about early action. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about some of the efforts that DOD takes forward to advance atrocity prevention. Sure, thank you so much. And I just wanted to say again what an honor it is to be here echoing my colleagues same statements. And just as I was telling Rob right before we started this is actually the reason that I decided to join international affairs as a career because when I was a kid I was eight years old and I first learned about the Holocaust through acting. I was a child actress and I played Anne Frank when I was 12 and I was absolutely horrified by the fact that this could ever have happened to humanity. And then I learned that even though I was 12 in my own lifetime it happened again and again. And I couldn't believe that that as the most powerful country in the world I was thinking what good is this power if we don't use this power for good, if we don't use this power to protect people. So for me it was a motivating factor to even get into this field. And certainly throughout my career working on human rights issues, humanitarian assistance issues and responding to the effects of atrocities. I think prevention really stood out and is one of the reasons that I wanted to join the Department of Defense to look at the ways that as we work to protect our country's interests and to protect our people we also are playing an important role around the world in modeling the behavior and the values that are core to America that are core to of course my identity and I think a lot of our identities about protecting human rights and certainly central to the president and to make sure that I see that in the department's work. So at the Department of Defense I'm the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Global Partnerships and in that capacity have a very intersectional portfolio. It includes humanitarian assistance. It includes international humanitarian policy which has in it democracy, rule of law, anti-corruption, women peace and security and civilian harm mitigation. All of these intersectional things that we've talked about and it also includes security cooperation. So to share a bit about the department's role in atrocity prevention I think the prevention piece is very key to us. As we know the security and defense sectors can play a role in either preventing atrocities and civilian harm or in horrible cases in actually perpetrating it themselves. And that means that the defense and security institutions in countries are critical partners that we simply can't overlook again as early as possible in getting everyone on the same page about the way that when they in the case they have to conduct hostilities they're conducting them in a way that is not committing these atrocities and they're certainly not using their institutions in ways that are counter to these values because when they do that they erode trust with their populations, they harm their credibility and they hurt their military effectiveness when they are trying to do their jobs in a military context. And so we understand that security cooperation I'm so excited to see the strong role of global partners in this strategy because these global partners and particularly for DOD the defense institutions are those that we when we are providing them with security cooperation we're ensuring that a requisite piece of that is that we're training them specifically on human rights on the rule of law on civilian control of the military which is absolutely critical and also in the protection and upholding of human rights and international humanitarian law. And so what that means is that the United States military with our footprint all around the world we're able to connect with partners to show them how does the United States conduct itself as a civilian led military? How do we follow the rules? Follow the processes. We get made fun of a bit for how much we follow the rules for those for those here when they see us adhering to these strict processes but it's because we have rule of law and we take it very, very seriously. And so we model that for our partners and when we provide them with security cooperation and we conduct these activities we're ensuring that this plays an important role. We also are integrating women, peace and security into our efforts because of course gender identity is a key factor in making populations more vulnerable to atrocities and increases in gender-based violence often indicate impending conflict on a broader scale. So ensuring that we are integrating our department's efforts around women, peace and security into security cooperation is something that is deeply interlinked and supporting the strategy. We also play an important role in supporting the Global Fragility Act. For example, in February 2022 the Department of Defense published the joint publication 307 on joint stabilization activities. And this is a manual and we are a department with many manuals that we follow to plan, conduct and assess the military contribution to stabilization efforts across the competition continuum and it addresses atrocity prevention through a protection of civilians lens which as we all know must have a gender perspective. We also have efforts in the department to broadly look at our secretaries directed us to look at civilian harm mitigation and response and a part of the action plan that's being developed right now in the department includes elements of allies and partners and how we work in security cooperation to ensure civilian harm is mitigated. And again, our partners are learning through their interactions with us because we take these issues very seriously. So I would say that prevention overall and continually being accountable, following the rule of law and working to build and support security sectors and partners that uphold human rights and uphold the important principles of international law are some of the primary powerful ways that the Department of Defense is contributing to atrocity prevention. So much for that and for just outlining so clearly kind of the training efforts, the criteria around security cooperation, the effort on trying to better understand what stabilization operations could look like if they kind of prioritize protection of civilians and harm mitigation efforts and how important it is to work with partners in that regard. And also the role that exists to look for indicators of potential crimes that are occurring. Sometimes your folks are able to see trends that others elsewhere in the government haven't been able to. And we've seen that in the context of Iraq and elsewhere with some of the most horrific atrocity crimes that were committed against the Yazidi community and others. I wanted to just kind of pick up just a little bit on your personal commitment because I think one of the things that we've seen all too often is just how incredibly important individuals are. And there are so many unsung heroes that exist within the US and other governments who've been championing these particular issues and have helped us get to this point and will continue to work to implement the strategy going forward. It made me think of the other people that we as a museum often regard as heroes and those are our remarkable partners within civil society, especially those within communities that are facing the risks of atrocity crimes. And it's a theme that many of you have brought up in the course of your comments. And I thought maybe I would start first with Rob, but I'd love to hear also Beth and Rob from you about how you work with, intend to work with civil society to help inform your activities, especially with those who are facing the reality of these crimes every day. I mean, we are now over a decade into the conflict in Syria. We do an anniversary event every year on the Hill. It is our goal and our hope that we do not have to do that this year. But our Syrian partners have such remarkable courage, resilience, and we're truly in awe of them as we are of so many of the survivors that we work with. So I was just curious, Rob, if you could speak a little bit to that. Sure, just really briefly. Throughout the process, since the LAVSL Genocide and Trusty Prevention Act has been in law, we have been working closely here in Washington, especially with civil society elements, to learn from them and what are their concerns, what do they think about what we're doing and how we can do it better. And this has been hugely helpful. It's been really enriching for us to think about the positions they're holding, what they point out about what we're doing and not doing, and how we perhaps could do better. And frankly, as a result of a lot of that discussion, we have the strategy today. Because they really showed us that this is necessary, even though it wasn't mandated by the law, it is necessary for the US government to develop that. So we're going to continue with those sort of consultations here in Washington. But I think most importantly, and as Rob was saying, we need to take those consultations to a higher degree and a more intensive and frequent level in the areas and the countries that we're really concerned about to hear from the marginalized communities about what are your concerns, to have the really difficult conversations with community leaders and including government leaders about what we see and what we're concerned about in terms of developing a strategy in those countries to prevent atrocity or to disrupt the process toward atrocity. And so we'll be intensifying our efforts under the strategy and under our efforts over the year ahead in terms of consultations both here in Washington and in the field on all of these issues. So thank you. Thanks for that, Rob. Beth, I was wondering if you could share your experiences. Sure, I agree with all of what Rob was saying. It's incredibly important that civil society actors as representatives of the most impacted communities are central to any decision making around atrocities prevention, response, mitigation, et cetera. And any transitional justice system that's ultimately adopted by a particular community has to be locally driven. There just are not sort of things we can take off the shelf and just drop into societies. They have to be bespoke. They have to be tailored, adapted to the local conditions. And the only way to do that really is to work very closely with local leaders who are genuinely representing the interests, preferences, et cetera, of folks that are the most close to these patterns of violence. And so the US government can do this in a number of ways. Rob mentioned many of them. It's consultations. It's using our convening power, using our programming, funding to be able to empower groups to do this sort of work. One other thing that I think has been really helpful, and I know the Holocaust Museum has been really central to this, is bringing together communities that have experienced violence from different parts of the world so that they can share their experience in both how they've dealt with violence, how they've responded to it, how they've shaped a justice response, how they've built a truth commission or a truth-telling process, how they've dealt with psychosocial and economic rehabilitation of communities, and other communities can learn from those experiences and think about how to adapt them to their own contexts. And I think that's something that we can do just through the power of our programming money. My office has a tiny bit of money. We're trying to do this in very discrete ways. Our budget pales in comparison to what you're able to do, and some of the other offices and bureaus are able to do. And we all are working in concert to try and identify areas where this sort of capacitation can be helpful and might be able to jump start or empower local leaders to then do the work politically that has to be done at the local level to convey to the leadership that this is important, it needs to be done, and here are the ideas as to how it should be done. Thanks so much for that, Beth. Rob, Beth, just, oh, thank you. Could I just say one thing? Yes, of course. It just thought of, what are the things that is so important? We will be talking, as we said before, locally, but it's also with our partners, other countries, who have access to communities that we don't have access to. And I think it's also important that we're sharing data with them, information with them, and feeding that information into our efforts. And that's what we see developing now through the work of the International Atrocity Prevention Working Group and others. And I think that's gonna be a really important element going forward that will increase. That's a great point. So this is a difficult one for me to answer because I get very emotional. Someone on my team just wanna bet, what do you cry? It's all local voices. And I mentioned the localization agenda, which our administrator, Samantha Power, is putting a lot of energy into. How do we do a better job of working directly with local organizations and individuals? We are very bad as a government putting small amounts of money on small targets quickly. We know how to do it. We just don't do it at scale. A big part of what our Bureau for Conflict Prevention and Stabilization is trying to do is spread out these lessons learned around the rest of a rather large agency that is a bureaucracy and is slow to move. But how do you give those 16 women under a tree in Darfur a grant? We know how to do that. Because every time those women go out to get firewood to make charcoal so they can sell it and feed their children, they put themselves at risk of rape. So they come together and say, if we only had a little bit of capital, we can start a business. We can give them that capital. We have done that. When an organization in Syria volunteers, later it becomes the white helmets, we can give them $45 million over time. They've never been audited. They can't fill out the forms. They don't have all the legal structure. They certainly aren't a legal entity in Syria. But we know how to do this. And if we're doing anything right in any of these countries, it's because we're working with local people listening to the only voices that matter, which are theirs. They're the ones that are risk of being victims or have been victims. They're the ones that know the perpetrators and they know the things that are gonna work and what doesn't work. So if we forget to listen, as Americans, we often do that, if we forget to listen, we're failing. Thank you, Rob, for that. And thank you also just for crying and for showing just how incredibly important and personal this issue is. We all have the privilege to sit here on this stage and to sit here in this audience and talk about these issues. And they're not abstract issues. They are people who every single day are facing a threat of whether or not they will be able to feed their families, live through the night, not injure sexual violence. So for them, this is not a non-negotiable. It has to be a priority. We often talk at the museum about how we're trying to climb Mount Everest, the slow, steady steps that you just have to keep taking forward and how we're trying to move this from priority number 200 up to, if we're lucky, priority 20 or higher. And so this strategy is one step in that process. It has to be implemented and it has to require a whole of government and a whole of society effort to do it. So I just wanted to thank you just for, again, just underscoring just how critically important it is, what we're actually here to talk about and what we're endeavoring to try to do. And maybe just in that regard, kind of going back to the role of the White House and thinking about how we integrate these critically important endeavors that you mentioned before, women, peace and security, the Global Fertility Act, Ali Wiesau, trying to address the most pressing issues that many of us feel exist right now alongside a whole host of complex geopolitical realities unfolding in the world. How do you center atrocity prevention when you're trying to kind of navigate creating this broader architecture for prevention? No, thanks for that Naomi. And I think the key is in the how. As I mentioned earlier with immense thanks to Congress, we have this solid foundation of legal frameworks, this family of these three laws. And we've taken steps to articulate strategies behind each of those laws, but that's the strength and the challenge for the US government is that we have three strategies. So we have to work in what I was saying is weaving, this constant effort of weaving together to look at how we don't just bring efforts that follow on from those three laws, but also how we look at some of the country and regional specific efforts, which some of my colleagues have talked about, to really ensure that there are some core principles and concrete actions that are integrated across all those efforts, and that they're mutually reinforcing. Again, that we kind of are working, a lot of I think what we do is making sure that the bureaucracy actually functions in a way to move towards action. And so while it sounds cumbersome, it's very important because it's how we get to the how, the actual action component. I do think that there are some specific things that we, it kind of helps that atone for. And the one thing I would note first, one thing that is new in this administration, which has never been done before, is to have a directorate of the National Security Council have a standalone focus on these issues. The NSC has always looked at a development agenda, which I'll use that as a very broad term. But it was with a lot of intention that there was a standalone directorate that puts a trustee prevention work with development at large and humanitarian response in an effort to kind of have a cross cutting way of looking at how we set policy. And I'm proud to say that the people who set the policy and convene the interagency to form are all practitioners. So they're all people who have actually done this work directly and now we're sitting in the White House to help craft policy. And I note that because it helps us reset the tone that we work with the interagency so that as they bring together the experts and practitioners within the State Department and DOD and USAID, they are working off of an umbrella that we are setting that sets a new tone for then how we work and kind of a more refreshed approach as the US government. And I think one of the things that many of my colleagues have commented on, which I very much agree with, the importance of early warning is of course core to our national security and moral imperative of savings people's lives. It also allows us to be smarter with how we use taxpayer dollars in what is a continuously resource-contrained environment because of a lot of those challenges that I was outlining at the top. And it, you know, therefore it's that policy framing that we set that allows us to identify where we really need new resources and where we just need to be smarter with the resources that we have. I think one area that the US government has underway which has been successful is also then kind of merging our localization agenda that we have at large for this work in our own practice within the US government and really looking at training of staff that goes down to what our colleagues do at the embassy level and admissions to ensure that staff who work on a range of areas that might not be kind of exclusively labeled in the atrocity prevention or conflict prevention world have a baseline understanding and understand how to mobilize the resources within the US government so that they can actually be helpful in bringing eyes and ears and the voices of the information and expertise that we get from communities to influence both our programmatic and I think policy formulation agenda. Thank you so much for that. There was so much in there and just picking up on that last point around the fact that more often than not some of this work is not going to be labeled as atrocity prevention. The early on work, especially the work that was mentioned by both Robbs, it will come in under other kind of auspices but the goal is the same and that's why it's so important to ensure that people are actually trained but also to the points that were made that when you're engaging with local civil society it's not just the people that are getting access to the consulates, to the embassies, it's the people who won't be able to make that trip for a whole host of reasons or don't have the social capital to be able to get in the door to a certain degree. So I appreciate also just how localized you're thinking about these particular issues. I wanted to kind of go back to that question around kind of concrete examples and Beth, your office has done so much in regards to responding to specific situations, including ones where the US government has made, for example, a determination of genocide such as the context of Burma. I was wondering if you could just talk a little bit more about kind of what are some of those streams of work? What does that look like? Yeah, thanks so much. A lot of it depends on where we are in a particular crisis. Burma, as you mentioned, we're still in an atrocity situation that has evolved considerably. It started out being a genocide against the Rohingya and now we have an anti-democratic movement attacks on protesters at extremely high levels. So we're beyond the upstream phase of prevention. We're in a mitigation world and also in preparing for a response. But there are still things that we can do at this phase and they're being done. And one of them is something that Rob mentioned, which is the importance of documentation. Documentation in and of itself is not necessarily a justice response, but any justice response is gonna depend on good documentation. And so, capacitating organizations that are doing that, that are collecting digital artifacts, that are working with survivor groups in a trauma-informed way, that are saving and preserving information for future justice processes, that's something that could be done now. So the U.S. government is supporting the double I double M, which is an international investigative mechanism devoted to Myanmar created by the United Nations in order to be this sort of centralized hub, to collect information, to prepare dossiers, to refine that information in complex ways to understand, for example, the chain of command or why particular villages were targeted, et cetera, and then share that with future justice processes. We then see the Gambia stepping up and bringing litigation against Myanmar under the Genocide Convention before the International Court of Justice. The United States has shared information with the Gambia and is working to help ensure that it has the resources it needs to pursue this litigation. And so that's another line of effort focused on state responsibility before the world court, the International Court of Justice. And there are also a number of states around the world that have opened cases and investigations because they have laws that enable them to do that. They have what's called universal jurisdiction, which allows for any nation to bring criminal charges against individuals, potentially individuals in their custody or potentially in absentia trials, depending on whatever their local legal framework is. But some of these states have opened investigations to determine whether or not they might have a situation in which they could bring charges. And we can support those efforts. Unfortunately, the US does not have a robust legal framework when it comes to international crimes, so we can't contribute in the same way that these other nations can, including many of our closest friends and allies in NATO and the EU, et cetera, who have a much more robust legal framework. But there are efforts afoot at Congress to be able to do that. So looking for these pathways to justice, whether it be in national courts, outside of the nation in question, international courts or hybrid courts. In a situation like Ukraine, we have a national system that actually is quite sophisticated. They have war crimes units. They had started doing cases prior to the relaunch of the Russian invasion in February. And so the US government is supporting the Office of the Prosecutor General and the field offices that are initiating these investigations. So one of our implementing partners was able to go to the shopping center hours after that attack happened, working side by side with Ukrainian counterparts in order to examine that crime base, lock it down, take whatever information needed to be had, do trauma-informed screening interviews with survivors and witnesses, collect whatever physical evidence needed to be collected, photograph to a criminal law standard, et cetera. So these are the kinds of things that we can be doing even while we have atrocities ongoing. And before we've had a full transition or a consolidation of peace, where the society itself can be thinking about what transitional justice looks like. That's fantastic. And you were talking about also just the non-recurrence component. And I was wondering, Michelle, when you think about the human rights training, the security cooperation, those are opportunities both signaled to governments where there's a concern that there might be a risk of atrocities to dissuade the military from being perpetrators. There are also opportunities to potentially help strengthen the capacity of the military to avert crimes in the long run. I was wondering if you've talked just a little bit more in detail about what those programs look like and how you prioritize various elements you talked about, the importance of gender within those, so I'd love to hear more about that. Thank you. Sure, thank you. So definitely institutional capacity building and human rights training are a requirement of any of our security cooperation programs. So every single one that we support has to have those. We have a couple of defense institutions that specifically lead them. And we have incredible dedicated staff at the Defense Institute of International Legal Studies, for example, and through DSCA, which is the Defense Security Cooperation Agency who does the program management of these kinds of programs to help and build the capacity specifically of foreign security forces. And I think that another element of what we do too that's relevant is that upfront we also make sure that we're not working with anyone to give security assistance who has been a perpetrator of gross violations of human rights. So we also have vetting that we work on with the State Department to specifically make sure that we're not working with units that have committed gross violations of human rights. The, one of the elements of this administration is that as we're looking at security cooperation, we're also working on ways to increase assessment monitoring and evaluation, and to increase our institutional capacity building efforts. So we've shown a spotlight on those efforts. We just launched our first ever learning agenda for security cooperation, which you can find in our website. It's the first time we've done something like that. And in these efforts to specifically look at how effective we are, we're making sure that we're learning lessons from the past because of course there's many lessons in this field to improve and highlight the role that institutional capacity building plays. And a big part of that is specifically human rights training and making sure that the defense forces that we partner with are accountable and that they follow the rule of law and they follow the civilian control of the military and they follow IHL. With Women, Peace and Security, what we are doing is we are specifically using our incredible network of gender advisors that we've been building over the past few years to build capabilities into the different combatant commands. Our combatant commands around the world, you might have heard of SENTCOM or UCOM or INDOPACOM, they are the ones that are actually doing security cooperation. They're implementing it with partner nations. And so each of those combatant commands now has a gender advisor and gender focal points and are able to specifically build that in to their programming and our Defense Department engagement with partner nations. So specifically in security cooperation, we're working now to make sure that gender analysis is built into security cooperation and that gender analysis, gender sensitive analysis by nature would consider elements of disproportionate power and the ways that things like conflict related sexual or gender-based violence could be part of one of the concerns that they're looking at on the ground. So many ways, I think, and I really see this strategy and these series of laws as a tipping point, a really important inflection point for the U.S. government to be able to push these efforts and focus them just as my colleague said, as we weave together the things that we are doing, the things that we're required to do, to look at them and make sure that they make sense toward that ultimate goal of preventing and anticipating preventing atrocities. So for us, I think that building in our important efforts with allies and partners that are central to defense effectiveness to make sure that they are reaching this goal of prevention through the efforts we're doing is the way that the Defense Department is looking at it. Thanks so much for that. And it's fascinating just to look at when we consider the countries at risk, when we look at our own museum early warning system and the countries that you've identified where there is overlap as it pertains to human rights training, security cooperation and just how to think in a more rigorous way as you're outlining right there about what are the tools that DOD has at their disposal to play an early action role there. Just as we close out, I thought I would end with kind of one of the most vexing questions and maybe I'll pose it to both our co-host and to Nithi because of just the importance of it. I'm wondering about how the strategy is going to help when we are confronted with other security and political interests in a particular country that at times have historically in the past resulted in people kind of sidelining or downgrading some of the atrocity prevention concerns that may exist in a country. How would you respond to that and how do you see the strategy helping to address that challenge? Well, thank you. That is a great question and that is what we, I mean that is our daily struggle at the State Department is how do we balance this with all our other priorities and equities with other countries around the world? I think one of the keys to point out, both to internally in the United States as well as to our partner governments or the governments we're dealing with is our thrust, the ideas behind the strategy the ideas behind our work to anticipate, prevent and respond to atrocity. This is a reflection of core fundamental values that are critical to the United States and to the world. This is not just U.S. values, these are universal values and this is something that will always be part of our conversation with other countries. Now, if countries work with us to address our concerns about what we see in those countries, we will have a much stronger and a better relationship with them than if they go down the road and actually get involved in atrocity events. It will be much worse and I can give a good example of this, early in my career, I served in a small South American country called Suriname and when I was there, they were coming out of a post coup kind of period and there was a rebellion in the interior. The government at that time under Colonel Dizzy Boucher decided that one way they would push back on this rebellion, it was among Maroon communities in the interior, was to go to a village called Moewana. They landed a helicopter there and they mowed down every villager with machine guns. Women, children and men, everyone. It was dozens of people were murdered. This atrocity brought international outrage and made that country and that country's leadership pariah and made it very much more difficult for them to get anything done that they were hoping to get done as a young country. This country then, through the next following years, moved more towards democratic values, more towards an emerging kind of democratic state as a government and it was the international response that I think helped push that forward. So this sort of work is hugely important, diplomatic work. It is difficult. It can cause problems in bilateral relations but you have to address those problems and take them on and work with these governments to address what we're hoping to achieve. Thank you. Thank you for that and for that very painful example too. Nithi. Thanks for the question, but the one thing I'd say is it's not an either or. We will do this work because we have to. I mean, as Rob said, it's a moral imperative. It is so central to the values that drive our policy agenda, irrespective of administration, that is the core to what the United States government intends to promote and I think there are a few things to I would just point to. One is you asked about the strategy specifically. The strategy is one part of our toolkit. So it's not the only thing that we're doing and there was a reason it was released publicly and as Rob noted with all the different seals and all the time it takes to get a document printed but the reason it is public is that it is a way that we are held accountable. You know, we rely on the consultations with civil society, not just for early warning but to tell us what we are doing well and the US government can do more of and to tell us what we are not doing so that we can continuously have a effort of kind of learning within the US government to go forward too. And I think then the second thing that I would note is related to our approach, this is where the task force and other structures that we have set up become important because it provides forums within the US government to do this analysis and convene and facilitate discussions around what we will do with the information that we get from these different channels through the work that the strategy is trying to promote. And then the last thing I'd say building off of what Rob shared, you know, we have so many different tools, diplomacy, defense development, the 3Ds as we call it in the US government, but they all really do play a function and it is a very large priority for us to also just as we work as part of prevention in response to early warning to also work to promote good governance, particularly in the countries that are not democracies but have the capability to be democracies. And as we continue to not just protect existing democracies to help countries like Ukraine defend the democracies that they have, but to really support countries where civil society has the ability to thrive, where the principles of democratic governance have the ability to flourish. And that's very core to our work too. And I would say it is really pretty central to advancing atrocity prevention. Thank you so much for that answer and for just squarely taking on the idea that there isn't either or, which I think we all feel very strongly that there isn't. And I thank you for articulating the US government's position. It's been a real honor and privilege to be able to moderate this conversation and to share the floor with all of you. And I thank you on behalf of the museum and USIP for the work that you have been doing. We endeavor to continue to work with you and others to help ensure that we are living up to the values that have been articulated and espoused. We're now turning to the second panel, which is going to be moderated by Dr. David Yang. David is the Vice President of the Center for Thematic Excellence and the Gandhi King Global Academy here at the US Institute of Peace. The conversation is gonna focus on operationalizing atrocity prevention. Thank you. Good morning. Welcome to our second panel on taking a look on the new US strategy to anticipate, prevent, and respond to atrocities. This second panel is entitled Operationalizing Atrocity Prevention, as opposed to the title of the first, which was to institutionalize atrocity prevention. I'm David Yang. I'm one of the Vice Presidents at the US Institute of Peace. I supervise two new parts of the Institute. The first is the Gandhi King Global Academy, and the second is the Center on Thematic Excellence. So first things first, thank you to Congress for passing the LA Visile Act. Thank you to our colleagues in the US government for producing this new strategy. I'm excited to moderate this second panel, excited because when I served in the US government in the 2010s, I had the opportunity to support the creation of the then Atrocity Prevention Board, which as we've heard this morning has been succeeded by the Atrocity Prevention Test Force at the National Security Council. I'm also excited because I was honored to serve on that Atrocity Prevention Board as a representative of the US Agency for International Development. Thirdly, I'm excited to chair this panel because I now have the privilege at USIP of advancing USIP's historic work on Atrocity Prevention. And finally, I'm excited to be reunited with so many great colleagues with whom I've worked on these very issues. So thank you to Naomi from the Holocaust Museum for chairing the first panel. Thank you to her panelists for that great discussion on how to institutionalize Atrocity Prevention. This one focuses, as I said, on operationalization, or in other words, we're talking about policy versus programs and partnerships. Now, it's in my view in the eye of the beholder what's a policy and what's a program and a partnership. I say that in advance to excuse us if we tread some of the same ground, that very important ground that was tread during the first panel. But we have different voices here with different experiences and certainly with much more nitty gritty, programmatic and partnership experience. So I'm excited about that. So our panel will talk about how do these new US government institutions translate into operationalization? How does architecture become action, especially through programs and partnerships? And how does a new strategy enable lifesaving action in conflict zones far from this lofty building we sit in this morning? To address these topics, we have a very, very expert and experienced panel of US government officials. Let me introduce them now. To my immediate right, Ro Tucci is the director of the Center for Democracy, Human Rights and Governance at USAID's Bureau for Development, Democracy and Innovation. Welcome. Next is Scott Busby, who is the principal deputy assistant secretary at the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. Welcome, Scott. Next we have Toby Bradley, who is a deputy assistant secretary in the State Department's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. Welcome. Next is Kat Photovat, who is the senior official in the Secretary of State's Office of Global Women's Issues. Welcome, Kat. And welcome, Allison Lombardo, who is a deputy assistant secretary also at the State Department in the Bureau of International Organization Affairs. Welcome to all of you. Thank you very much for your work on a trustee prevention and response, and thank you for joining us today. We have just about an hour for this panel, so I'm going to ask some initial questions to each of our panelists. I ask you to be fairly brief so we can save some time for our second round of more interactive questioning. I'm going to start off with Ro, a longtime colleague of mine, both at USAID and at USIP. Now she's back in an important leadership position at USAID. So Ro, of course prevention is a big part of the new strategy. In recent years, USAID has made a lot of progress in carrying out programs to mitigate to prevent risks of atrocities. Can you tell us a little bit about the impacts to date of such risk mitigating programs, prevention programs? What lessons has the agency been learning? How are you applying the lessons? And we talked a lot earlier this morning about the importance of consultations with local communities. Rob Jenkins, as is normal, was quite eloquent and passionate about local voices. So can you talk about how you're co-designing these important programs with local communities, how you're integrating the voices of local communities into these important programs? Thank you, Ro. Great, thank you. Let me just first say it's an honor to be here from the, we call it the DRG Center. I think obviously it's all hands on deck on this issue and each of us has an important role to play. And just to underscore what our deputy administrator said that when atrocities occurs, it's a result of bigger issues at play, right? And that's human rights violations, rule of law that's not respected, no means for people to have meaningful voice in their governments, corruptions, rampant. These are all typical democracy rights and governance issues that we're really trying to get ahead of. And as many of you know, and we don't always want to hear, I think Rob said this quite directly, these efforts take a long time efforts, right? That require deep analysis and learning and sustained investments and sustained partnerships, right? And so I think that's where the DRG Center plays a critical role in all of this. And specifically using programs like our human rights grant program which is in its 10th year and enhancing the rapid response capabilities that we've had and really working, and I'll talk about this later in a Ukraine example, to provide that technical assistance to the missions, to develop these human rights programs in the moment but also over the long term. So just to give you a few examples of the types of programming we do because I think one of the lessons learned is really that you need to tackle this issue from multiple angles, right? And so obviously you want to provide targeted support to at-risk communities. We do that a lot with religious and ethnic minorities, identifying the unique risks, working with the governments, advocating for their rights and increasing services to them. But also looking at how we integrate these efforts into broader development programming and I think that's gonna be a trend that you see more and more, right? We could have a targeted program, targeted analysis but then how do you use that to influence the other development programs and I think you're gonna see more of that over the coming years. We're also looking at our other DRG programming, right? Media programming, critically important as we look to tackle disinformation and hate speech. So how are we taking advantage of that type of programming and adjusting it? For example, in one program, you're working with the government media regulatory body to both promote freedom of expression while also considering the sensitivities to conflict dynamics in addressing, again, hate speech and disinformation. And we saw some really good results there. You know, some drops in on-air defamation cases but it's also, it's not just working with the government, it's also working with the communities and I think that dual approach too is a key lesson that we've been learning. How do you build the resilience of these communities, train them, provide capacity building such that they have the ability to identify rumors and disinformation? That's another best practice we've learned. And then in our typical human rights monitoring, documentation and advocacy work, I think again, how you integrate that work into the other development work is critically important. How we're expanding to work with other partners and I'll talk a little bit more about that as well. But in Sudan, we were working with new and nascent organizations outside the capitol to do human rights monitoring and documentation. And then of course in Afghanistan, mobilizing when the dynamics change there to support human rights defenders and journalists. So again, really just being ready to jump in with that support. And then again, using for example, CPS did an atrocity risk assessment or analysis in Afghanistan. Again, how do we use that to influence other programming? I think is the next chapter. Just on some lessons learned, if you put it in three buckets, we're really looking at ensuring effective capturing and sharing of the information. So that's working with our partners, making sure they have the resources to do ongoing analysis. And then having multiple outlets to share the information. I think that's why the task force is such a great platform to share this information. And then of course, second, is improving the application back into our work. And David, as you know, this is some of the hardest. We can capture lessons quite well. How you incorporate that back into the work is really devil's in the details there. And I think what you're seeing is our ability to use the learning and analysis to right size our programs. And recognize that some responses need nimble quick interventions. Some need more comprehensive large awards. Some need narrow targeted approaches. Others need broader integration. And so using that learning to really identify what is the right program. And then of course, incorporating it into our training. Let me just quickly take a quick stab at the localization one. I think this one's particularly near and dear to my heart for those who know me. Really the word I use is authentic localization. What does it mean to really include partner and empower our local actors? And I think you see a lot of the, what I call now standard ways of incorporating local voices, consulting them with them before and after assessments and design. We can talk about some examples there, co-creation and co-design. You mentioned that, you know, avoiding retraumatizing, instrumentalizing our partners, considering diversity. I don't mean to run through these like a list, but it does feel like those are very, they're quite standard now. They're good practices. But I think, you know, it's funny because we thought, is this a softball question? And then I was like, no, maybe it's really trying to challenge us and push us to think like, what is that next chapter of localization? What does it mean to really strengthen resilience in our communities to build off of the existing systems and processes, the cultural and contextual dynamics? And here's I think the key to truly let local actors lead. And how do we move into a facilitator role? And I think that's what we're digging much deeper into these days. And so I'll just end on that, looking into, you know, procurement mechanisms that really put the partner in the local partners in a leadership position and that really think about what is locally led development look like when, like for example, people centered justice, it's more than building courts. What does it mean to lead with the experience of the local actors and partners? So let me pause there. Talk about this much more, but we'll see if we come back to it. Thanks. Thanks very much, Ro. Thanks for adding with great detail to Rob's earlier points about the important of local voices and AID's localization initiatives. And thanks for joining this morning's conversation about how a lot of the programming work is not new. A lot of the great work that USAID has done for decades now on human rights work with human rights defenders is not new, but how can it be harnessed and coordinated from a lens of atrocity prevention? So thank you for those insights as well. Next, I'm gonna turn to my long-time colleague, Scott Busby. Scott's from the Human Rights Bureau of the State Department as I introduced him. So Scott, the new strategy, it talks a lot about the important need to adapt quickly to changing risk on the ground. And it's a key to early warning to prevention. Your bureau, the Bureau for Human Rights Democracy and Labor, is perhaps in my view a leading supporter of human rights defenders in the US government in countries at high risk of atrocities. In such situations, Scott, where the risks are getting more and more dire as we speak, how do your programs adapt? And can you give us examples of them? I know you're pioneering a lot of the rapid response. And like for my question with Roe, how are you working with local communities to make these pivots or adaptations? And finally, I know DRL, your bureau, is pioneering also training of State Department officers across the board, across the bureaus. And so can you give us a sense of what your bureau's atrocity prevention trainings are like for foreign service officers, for civil servants, and what impact it's had to date? Thanks, Scott. Thanks, David. Great to be here. Lots of questions there, but I'll try to answer each and every one. Let me know if I don't. Adaptation to changes in the environment is obviously key. Not only in terms of rising risk, but also in terms of how to respond to atrocities, if and when they occur, and then how to help communities recover. So we think we need to think about adapting or provide the ability for programs to adapt across the full spectrum of actions we might take to both prevent and respond to atrocities. One program where we put in place atrocity prevention efforts is in the Central African Republic. The program there is multifaceted, including community-based early warning, risk mitigation planning, integrating both governmental and non-governmental response efforts, including conflict mediation, alternative dispute resolution processes, providing income generation for populations at risk and encouraging social cohesion. So it's a multi-pronged effort. There we have seen an increase in risk to some of the target communities, including women and girls, and so that program has adapted by changing the medium for communicating the risk to that population, altering the frequency of reporting that's done as well as putting in additional risk mitigation measures. When it comes to human rights defenders, David, you're absolutely right, they can be most at risk in these situations. So what we've done in our atrocity prevention programs is urged our grantees to incorporate risk-related elements to their proposals so that if and when a human rights defender or other community leader is put at greater risk due to these programs and due to the rise in risk of atrocities themselves, the programs include escape vows, if you will, money either to purchase additional protection for people on the ground or to actually help facilitate their departure if that's what they need. And as you know, David, we have a broader human rights defenders program which provides those sorts of things globally. So it's easy for us to encourage folks to include those elements in atrocity prevention programs. Another area where we have programs is Syria. And here, the program has adapted to the unique needs of Syrians to recover from atrocities. And this includes programs that heal trauma through workshops, torture rehabilitation and trauma healing counseling, tele-mental health, therapeutic documentation and self-care for activists. Last, let me say that when we see a risk of rising atrocities, one of the key things that needs to be done is to document those atrocities as they're occurring and encouraging the publication, the dissemination of that documentation. So in a lot of our programs, as the risk has gone up, we have funded groups to do the hard work of documenting the atrocities. Thus, for instance, in Ethiopia, we've done all we can to sort of capture whatever evidence there may be of atrocities and get that information out both to our policymakers inside the US government and to the international community. So that's another key way in which we've tried to adapt. Trainings, yes, under the Elie Wiesel Act, we are required to do trainings. We were able to do a first in-person training in South Africa, I guess it's almost three years ago now, which pulled together our human rights officers in throughout Africa, locally employed staff and then a number of key people in Washington. And those folks came together, they talked about sort of definitions of atrocities, common strategies for response, et cetera. And I think the value of that was to kind of establish a common vocabulary and a common sense of prioritization of these issues throughout Africa. And as a consequence of that, we've seen a better reporting, more consistent analysis of these sorts of risks. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we haven't been able to do any other in-person training since then, but we've done a number of virtual trainings based on the same curriculum. And again, trying to bring the key people together in our embassies and here in Washington to establish that common vocabulary and that common sense of prioritization. And I think as a consequence, we are seeing improved analysis, improved reporting, and improved response to risks of atrocities where we see them. Thank you, Scott. Thanks for answering all of my questions. I know there were a lot. And thank you for underlining the importance of building into your grant or cooperative agreements with frontline atrocity prevention workers in conflict countries, the importance of entering their security and anticipating all contingencies. USIP has the privilege of working with Scott's Bureau Rose Center and others on a lot of these programs. And we partner with them to support a lot of peace builders around the world in coupling countries. And I say that because I can attest firsthand to the care that Scott Rowe and their colleagues bring to the importance of safeguarding our local partners under any circumstances, good or dire. So thank you. I apologize as a old US government hand, I can lapse into the acronyms, DRG, Democracy, Human Rights and Governance for Rowe, DRL, Democracy, Human Rights and Labor for Scott. And next, I know who's a close partner, International Narcotics and Legal Enforcement Affairs, Law Enforcement and International Cardics and Law Enforcement Affairs. And so Toby, you're a key player in this field of atrocity prevention and response. This morning we had quite in depth discussion with our Defense Department colleague from the Secretary's office who was speaking at Naomi's urging about how DOD training programs can be used to prevent abuse through security cooperation programs with foreign militaries, how those trainings can be so key and instrumental in preventing abuse committed by those forces. Similarly, INL, your bureau, works very closely with criminal justice officials in governments around the world. You do a lot of training. So my question is similar to Naomi's for our DOD colleague and that is in your trainings with criminal justice actors and officials throughout the world, particularly in conflict countries, how are you using your trainings to really both prevent atrocities, train to prevent and also sensitize criminal justice officials about the interconnections between criminal justice work and atrocity prevention work. Thank you, David. Certainly we know that police and other criminal justice actors can be a force for prevention, mitigation and a response to mass atrocities that can also unfortunately be promulgators of mass atrocities and when they are involved it's particularly disturbing and dangerous. INL, as you said, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, where others of our colleagues work a lot with civil society, we often work directly with host nation governments and who are asking us for support to professionalize their law enforcement and justice sector actors. And so I thought in this question to really focus in, while we work across that prevention, mitigation and response, this question, I thought I focused on the prevention as you've raised. And I think we're looking at it in a couple of ways. First, there is what should we be doing generally to support the professionalization of criminal justice actors, particularly police and then what are some of the target of things we can do? So on the general approach, we're really looking at how to help countries see their criminal justice actors as professionals. What does it mean to be a professional? What does it mean to be proud of what you do? And what are the things that we all hope for as a human rights and democracy promotion community, what do we hope that they learn in their basic skills courses and their leadership courses that as they go through the system, these are just themes that are constantly being reinforced. And so we're looking at that in how we inject lessons learned from the past into these standard things that we tend to do so that it's part of the DNA of what we, as an international community or as INL does. So if you're getting a basic skills course, what does it mean to be a police officer? What does it mean to be proud of protecting the human beings within your jurisdiction? Whether, regardless of what the laws say about something that may make somebody a minority or are vulnerable in any particular country, that a justice sector operator needs to see that they are protecting the people, the human beings under their charge. And so how can we do that, whether it's bias and discrimination, whether it's atrocity prevention and so really getting that into the bloodstream so it gets better over time. But there are some times where, of course, as you mentioned, they're conflict states or they're places where we're particularly concerned with the level of violence that occurs and among those human beings that they're meant to protect. And we realize as INL that we need to do better on that front. And so a few years ago, we started partnering with the U.S. Holocaust Museum and looking at ways that we can do targeted training as well for leaders, for people who are in positions of power and seeing how can we deconstruct the past to understand where things might have gone wrong so that we helped fuel their research into looking in past atrocities, seeing what actually happened. And we now know, thanks to the museum's research, quite a bit about the role of police during the Holocaust. And we know how the Nazis slowly transformed the traditional police forces into an instrument of state repression. The museum's research helped us understand how this transformation took place and how we in INL can work to develop leadership guides and tools to ensure police and law enforcement never repeat this pattern. There were warning signs, social exclusion, attacks on civil rights, state sanctioned violence, and killing operations. Police participated in killings organized, ordered by their leaders, and they stood by while houses were ransacked and destroyed. A change in the police oath from sworn loyalty to the Constitution and protecting those human beings became a sworn oath to the Fuhrer, one person in the SS. In addition to those early warning signs of those who committed atrocities, and maybe not so early, there were clear warning signs, the museum also researched those situations in which a police officer refused to conduct an atrocity. And they found that if the police officer could actually rely on another part of the law and say, you want me to burn down that synagogue, but I also have a duty to protect the historic nature of that building. And so they faced only in Breppermans versus committing an atrocity. So there is choice. And I think that's, I have to say, I also participated in the museum training as a diplomat. They have a course where they say, this is what diplomats were doing during the time. And if should you be faced with this situation, what would you do? And I think that's really important for more leaders to get that training. And us too, because we never know where it might occur. So those are the ways we're looking at generalize. How can we get in the DNA of everything? How can we be more targeted when we think there's a particular concern? And we're already seeing the pilots run and we're getting some good feedback where police officers are seeing that they are more professional, that they're protecting more people under their care. And those people are helping them do their job better because they want to communicate with them. And we're seeing fewer and fewer complaints against police that have engaged in these training. So I'll stop there, but that's how we're beginning to approach this really important issue. Thank you so much, Toby. And thanks for underscoring your important partnership with the Holocaust Museum. Also, I want to thank Naomi and her team at the Holocaust Museum for partnering with USIP and Toby's Bureau. I want to give a shout out to one of Toby's colleagues, Kathleen Cougan at the INL Bureau and my USIP colleague, Lauren Bailey, who is working on the projects that Toby's talking about. And thanks also to Lauren for organizing and coordinating today's event. So next in the acronym SUP is what we used to call, or I think still called G-WI, not Kiwi, but G-WI in the US government, stands for Global Women's Issues. Cat is an alum of the Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and we all work closely with her then as she was deputy director of the program office there. Now she has the importance of the lead official in Secretary Blinken's office on Global Women's Issues in the Secretary's office to illustrate the importance of those issues. So Cat, my questions for you are that in reading the strategy, it makes clear particularly almost in a last section or appendix it cites all the important related initiatives to this strategy, including the Biden administration's gender, equity and equality strategy, including the women, peace and security strategy, the national US strategy in that area which was prompted by Congress. So what is the G-WI office doing to link this new atrocity prevention strategy with these existing strategies related to gender equality? And how are you ensuring as a lead official that the implementation of this new atrocity prevention response strategy has a gender lens to it? And then more broadly, at the intersection of women, peace and security, that important two decade now long global movement, at the intersection of that movement and atrocity prevention work in this new strategy, in countries like Ukraine, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Burma and others in the headlines, how are you seeking through this new strategy to protect women and girls from atrocities? And what are your highest gender priorities in these crisis countries? Thanks, Cat. Just a few questions. First of all, I wanna say thank you, so great to see you again, David. And my sincere thanks to USIP and the Holocaust Museum for hosting us here today and all of you for coming. And I know there's so many civil society organizations, activists in the audience as well as my USG colleagues and these amazing panelists. I think I've worked for every single entity here. So it's so great to be here again. Yesterday we actually had a women peace and security event with our secure future. I see Hans up there on the hill. So many of these issues, especially around Ukraine and Afghanistan came up as well. First, I wanna say women and girls are affected by conflict in unique ways. And they also have unique contributions to these issues. So this isn't just a question of what's the right thing to do, to quote the late great secretary Albright, inclusion of women isn't just the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do. This is an effectiveness issue. It's taken us a while, but we've started to actually be able to make people understand if you want to be able to promote peace, if you want to be able to quell and stop atrocities, you must include women and women's issues in what you're doing. So gender issues and honestly, we are also taking a very, very intersectional approach, making sure that we're looking at intersectional challenges and barriers, not just for women, looking at LGBTQI populations, looking at racial issues, what are all these intersecting concerns that we need to be addressing when addressing issues facing atrocities? So gender-based violence certainly is a harbinger of broader atrocities. And so when systems show that there are increases of gender-based violence, that's something that obviously is an alarm towards making sure to look at and see what those issues are on the ground. So we addressed this in several ways. One, as you've heard, there's many strategies right now, and certainly the Atrocities Prevention Strategy named after Ellie Weisel. So let's remember who this is named after. This is about never again, making sure that the atrocities that have happened in the past never again happen. And I think that's something that certainly civil society organizations, women leaders, when we talk about atrocities prevention, that mantra, that dedication is something that comes up frequently. I actually also participated in the diplomatic course at Holocaust Museum. And I will say I was with Ambassador Kozak, who was formerly with DRL and WHA, very long career as an incredible statesman. And every time someone did something in the State Department that was contrary to the policy at the time, he always looked at me and would say, that's you. So I said, thank you, Ambassador Kozak. I want to take this as a compliment. But making sure that I think the lesson from that in particular was make sure to speak up, to use the voices of the activists, of the civil society of the women on the ground. Every single time there has been a conflict, we have made sure nothing about them without them. So we have several strategies that we are working with. Certainly atrocities prevention strategy is a strategy that we incorporate the broader gender strategies within. The Biden-Harris administration last October released a national gender strategy, and that's kind of an umbrella strategy that we work under. And within that, we also work on gender-based violence. There's been an update to our 2016 strategy, and of course, the women, peace, and security strategy. These strategies provide principles of operation. So they include things like making sure that gender analysis is done across the board. So when we start talking about atrocity prevention policies, we look at making sure that gender analysis incorporated into that. How are we making sure to include the voices of the women? How are we looking at power structures? How are we looking at making sure that those issues that are being addressed are incorporating those perspectives? Because we know peace building and peace processes are more likely to last 15 years or more if women are included. Again, this is an effectiveness issue. I have to give our DOD colleagues a lot of credit. That's something that yesterday, I know D Dasstruck was here as well, but something that we had been talking about certainly with many of their, we had IndoPaycom and some of the COCOMs discussing. They have gender advisors on there. And they are very mission oriented and they have all indicated and made sure that the data supports making sure to include gender perspectives and gender into all of DOD's work as well. So in order for us to effectuate preventing and responding to atrocities, same concerns. We have to make sure that we're incorporating the perspectives of women and girls into the work that we're doing. In addition to the strategies and policies that we're implementing, which includes, and I wanna make sure to highlight this for all of our civil society organizations, consultations with civil society organizations, activists. I know there's been a lot of talk about co-design. I will note that many of the, and this is for the civil society organizations, many of the women activists that we've talked to about co-design and things of that nature as a best practice have said, you're asking me for my time and then I do not get compensated until maybe I'm incorporated into the project after. So we are looking at better ways of doing that without being exploitative in our inclusion of them. It's something certainly across the board right now, many of the Afghan women, you asked about Afghanistan. So many of the Afghan women who have made it out of Afghanistan, who we are constantly seeking consultation with, they are refugees. They are living on nothing in many cases and we are asking them for their time. We are asking them for their commitment and their expertise. They are members of parliament. They are judges. So making sure that we are compensating them, making sure that we are advocating for the fact that these are experts that we are utilizing the information from them and recognizing their leadership. The secretary recently appointed in our office special envoy, Reena Amiri, who is a special envoy on Afghan women, girls and human rights. And she attends all the negotiations with the Taliban. She is an Afghan-American woman who sits at the table with the Taliban. And in that regard, she is constantly negotiating on girls' education, women's rights. We talk to, on a constant basis, making sure that access is provided so that the voices of the women can be heard by policy makers. So as we are making policies, as we are having these discussions, that is built back into the work that we are doing. On Ukraine as well, I think Ukraine is a particular example of where a lot of the vulnerabilities that we are seeing really need to be addressed. 90% of the people leaving Ukraine in refugee status are women and children. So it really has changed the scope. We've talked to UNHCR and other entities working on the humanitarian front. It's really changed how they are operating and how they are prioritizing, making sure that they are addressing gender issues across the board. So in terms of programming as well, one of the ways that we do our trainings, and we have doubled the training in the last year, again, that was one of the results of our Women, Peace, and Security Report, we were able to double our gender-based trainings across the board and the department just in the last year, and making sure that people understand how to, and we're providing tools to be able to do it. Because the key is how do I do my job? How do I make sure to do this? We are at least past the point of gender is something that is somebody's pet rock as it was a decade or two ago. It is now something everyone understands is necessary, is about effectiveness, and it is something that we are incorporating. We are very lucky that I have great leaders that I am working with who recognize the importance of this. I have to also give CSO Assistant Secretary Ann Wachowski a lot of credit. Certainly just such an expert and leader on Women, Peace, and Security issues. We know that this is something that is incorporated into all of the work that CSO does as well. In general, also on Ukraine, going back to that issue, we have heard from them when it comes to efforts like documentation efforts, making sure that when we're talking about documentation, it's trauma-informed, it's gender-centered, and not exploitative, making sure that those documentation efforts are connected to resources. That has been a gap that has been pointed out to us time and time again, so our office is looking at ways to make sure that those connections are made, that they are not exploited, that the documentation efforts, though important, and making sure that justice is defined by survivors. It's not always going to be the justice as defined by the powers that be. Different individuals have justice as defined by them, giving them the options. We know that when we've looked at countries like Kosovo, sometimes it's been 20 years before survivors of gender-based violence, sexual gender-based violence, or conflict-related sexual gender-based violence, are able to even talk about what they've been through. We've worked with organizations such as ICMP, International Center for Missing Persons, and so when they were doing DNA analysis, one of the things that came out was people were not willing to talk about the sexual violence they endured during the conflict until people had passed away, until time had gone that they could process it. So understanding cycles of violence, trauma, finding innovative ways to address trauma. We're hearing from Ukrainian women right now that they don't want to go to psychosocial support. So what are better ways to get them to be provided with psychosocial support, whether it be group therapy, or things like we've seen in, I think CAR had some innovative ways of doing singing circles, but bringing women together to be able to support and provide that support to each other for psychosocial support in ways that are community-focused and contextual to the countries that we're working in. Thank you so much, Kat. Thanks for all those vivid examples of the work you're doing, and thanks for your bringing such a can-do attitude to this important work. I was sitting here reminiscing that, oh yeah, I remember why I used to call up Kat for that whenever I had a problem that I need to figure out how to solve, and so thank you, Kat. And so finally in our acronym list is I.O. International Organization Affairs of the State Department. I'm gonna embarrass our guest, Alison Lombardo, a bit. Her presence here today as the youngest member of our panel proves there is justice in the U.S. government. That is, less than 10 years ago, I believe Alison was a colleague of mine at USAID as in our young professionals program called the Presidential Management Fellowship and anybody who worked for her at the time said, wow, she is the future. And so the future is now, she was appointed as Deputy Assistant Secretary of International Organization Affairs as the leading human rights official in the State Department. So congratulations and welcome, Alison. So I'm a wonk in reading strategies, as you know, and I note that it talks not only about partnerships with civil society, but partnerships with like-minded governments, formal multilateral organizations. So on the informal side first, I know your administration as other administrations before you are seeking to work on a trustee prevention with informal groups of governments like we used to call the coffee group, but it was formally, informally called the International Trustee Prevention Working Group. So how in this administration are you working with that group and other groups like that to coordinate your agenda? And Rob Fourchet this morning, one of your State Department colleagues was talking so excitedly in a powerful way about how important the LA Vizel Act was and the strategy is and because you can bring it to governments like these to say, hey, copy us, you know, let's have a race to the top. In more formal settings, the work gets much harder. The Biden administration has rejoined the Human Rights Council. There are obstacles there on this and other agendas. There are obvious obstacles in the very realist setting of the Security Council. So how do you pursue trustee prevention as a senior American human rights diplomat in these more formal, more difficult settings, particularly working on difficult problems like Ukraine and the Uyghurs in China? Thanks so much for that, David. I really appreciate that and the introduction, still working hard at this many years later. You know, we are all as the US government part of the atrocity prevention working group that we work with our international partners, other governments who are interested in doing this work and who we have, what was the coffee group and now a more formalized structure to share our concerns, countries that we're watching, trends that we're seeing and identify additional steps for both individual but also collective action. And I think that kind of sharing at the bilateral level as a collective helps spur what Naomi said this morning was really important for atrocity response and prevention is multilateral action. So any action that we see in the kind of international organizations world and in the UN is spurred by member states taking action to make things happen collectively. And that's why I think in part that kind of informal chat that has now formalized is so important and because it allows us with our partners around the globe to get out ahead of things that we see. So again, not just waiting for the crisis and the reaction that often spurs international outrage and action but really trying to be preventative, looking early and looking down the road about what we can do collectively. So I think the early partnership and the foundation that this group has built is very useful. I will say that Elaine Wiesel Act and US leadership on there and the structure that we have built in our interagency has provided a useful example to others whose bureaucracies are not always as big or who bring different tools and connections to the table from different regions, different strengths and having that dialogue and figuring out where each of us has comparative advantages very, very useful. So then to tackle what I focus on which is really the multilateral side of it, the early action and collective action in the multilateral arena, there's lots of ways that this happens and I won't touch on all of them today because the kind of breadth and the range of it is too large but in early action I think there are a number of forums that hit the news that we can bring attention to situations about which we are concerned. So that is the Human Rights Council, interactive dialogues with special rapporteurs who are looking at trends across the globe. It is the action by the council itself to draw attention to particular situations. Just last month we had an urgent debate in the council where we focused on the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan and the uptick in violence there. There's also of course the UN Security Council which I'll touch on in a little bit. We've got special rapporteurs focused on the prevention of genocide on other kind of early action issues as well as the UN capabilities across the board of the different UN agencies and programs that do both early warning and reporting. OHCHR has their own kind of prevention and assessment approach but also the programatics on the ground that get at some of the issues that Roan's gotten others we're talking about. So the US engagement with those and partners engagement with those to make sure that UN programs and capabilities are focused on prevention is really important. Of course then there's action and so how do you use multilateral action to impact what's happening on the ground? So in addition to the dialogues and the various formal chambers, we use different tools like joint statements to raise attention and awareness. We use different UN board meetings to direct resources in certain ways and help steer the agencies where we have a particular concern. And then of course there's security council resolutions or resolutions in the general assembly that put some of the tools of the UN as directed by those member states to use. So whether that's peacekeeping, sanctions, courts and transitional justice, there's of course a lot of tools that we could delve into. I think one of the questions we get asked most that you're alluding to David is that geopolitics has determined that we have a P5 member sitting on the security council who has acted aggressively towards another state and this breaking of norms and the UN charter is really outrageous. And so what does that difficult context do for the work that we're doing on atrocity prevention around the world? So the question we kind of get asked is if the UN security council is jammed up, what hope is there for getting work done and what can we do in the multilateral arena? And first I wanna say, I think even when things are difficult, the security council and UN bodies play an incredibly critical role to spurring multilateral action. So even when it is difficult, you see the United States working in those bodies with like-minded partners to get action. Whether it be incremental or not, I think there's still a lot of value there. So using the security council and UN platforms to highlight areas and atrocity risks is incredibly important. Forcing other countries to take a position on those situations can also be politically useful. And looking at the different unique authorities where we think we may get some traction is still incredibly powerful. So let's not count it out. I also wanna highlight there are several areas where we still see the security council working that I think are very relevant to this work. So most recently, the renewal of the UN mandate in Haiti is really important, particularly with the trends of violence there. We just renewed BNU, which is the special mission, special UN integrated office there for 12 months. We added elements on arms trafficking and illicit financial flows, which often kind of spur greater violence and atrocities. And I think despite some other efforts to reduce the time of that mandate due to other geopolitical issues, the security council was able to do that and we have placed an incredible amount of energy and time getting that done with our other like-minded partners. Something that hasn't hit the headlines also is last May we worked with Ghana and Ireland on a resolution on maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea. So working with our partners in West Africa and hearing kind of African requests about how do we look at the links between piracy and terrorism and violence in West Africa. This is an early action and prevention effort to get UN reporting and focus on that issue in hopes of heading off further violence. So even though that's not something that is as high profile, I think it's an example worth spending time on because the UN is still in the security council and the member states are still doing that work. And I finally want to note, when things are not working, there is still a lot we can do. So in the security council, when vetoes are used, just this year it was decided that member states would need to go and explain to the general assembly of why you are vetoing. For example, a resolution on cross-border humanitarian aid in Syria. And so calling countries to task to explain their positions can be very useful. And we've also used the UN General Assembly as an atrocity prevention and response tool, most notably in most high profile I would say in the situation in Ukraine, where we had very dramatic votes on the Russian aggression this March. And also the General Assembly suspended Russia for its egregious behavior from the Human Rights Council. And so I think you can see that the other bodies of the UN do also participate in this work. Thanks, David. Thank you, Alison. And thanks for really detailing how the United States government can continue to work through multilateral bodies, even as they often appear jammed up, as you put it. So thank you for your creativity and commitment to doing so. I'm just gonna check with our timekeepers and stage managers on timing. I know that we can run till noon, but is that, do we wanna end before that? Or I just wouldn't know how much time we have for further round of questions. Okay, good. So we have another 10 minutes. So I'm gonna ask a few more of my questions based on some of my specific experience of working on these issues in previous years. One of my interests, well, to tell a brief story, I would be handed these briefing papers to go to the Monthly Atrocity Prevention Board meetings in the 2010s. And then next week I'd be handed another sheaf of paper to attend the NSE's monthly meeting on fragility and conflict. And so, often my head was spinning because the two meetings, even though many of us attended both, and even though the agenda seemed so similar, it seemed almost redundant. We were meeting separately. And so, I scratched my head off, and when I came in the ensuing years has been the Global Fragility Act, now the LA Vizel Act. But in 2017, when I left government, I scratched my head and Naomi and her colleagues at the museum said, David, why are you scratching your head? And I said, I wanna try and bridge the fragility and atrocity prevention agendas and really say why they need to be working more closely together. So this morning we talked a little bit about the GFA, the GFA Priority Countries, GFA's Global Fragility Act, the new Vizel Act, its Priority Countries 30, it's short list. So, and I know there are set answers about how coordination occurs, but particularly at your levels where you're handed these sheafs of paper all the time, I'm curious how you, if you care to answer my question, how you ensure that there's a common agenda across at least these two very important, in the case of cat three very important agendas. And I'm just curious how you do it and whether you scratch your heads also or whether there's ways not to have a itchy head. So anybody who wants to jump in and share their experience, please Toby. The thanks for the question, David. And I think, yes, sometimes we do scratch your head about those things. I think going back to my earlier comments, when I talked about the general approach, these are the same police officers we train for sensitivity about different issues. We can only train the same person so many times. And if it's that important of training, why can't we get it into a national policy for an academy level or continue education? So that's part, in part where I think the more we can talk about certain actors that are really critical in atrocity prevention or hate crime or any of the other concerns that we have, gender promotion, what are the things that we'd like as an international community, as citizens, as civil society, what are the things we hope that are the protectors the peace are gonna know and be sensitive to? And the more that we can have an international conversation about that and internationalize these standards, then I think it's easier for us because we just say that's what the international standard is and don't you wanna be part of the international community on those standards. So that requires us to think a little bit more. And then at the same time, the second part of my comments earlier were there are certain times where it is targeted. And when we're doing targeted things, because atrocity is something that's specific and can create, while we could potentially do prevention with hitting many birds with one stone or feeding many birds with one scone. We can, you know, there are other times where we have to go in and if a country's asking or if we really think we need to do something, do it specific. And that's where INL is fueling the research with USIP to understand the nexus between things like the Gulf of Guinea and how piracy could actually start affecting violence in the communities or how other transnational crime creates violence because the bad actors like that and they want to destabilize communities and how that affects the vulnerable populations most. And so understanding how that works, I think that's research. We all have to get better at understanding that. But then when we do our actual activities, that's where I'm learning today too. There are a number of things that I think we do do intuitively from on the international organization side. For example, we support investigative mechanisms and we support the research that helps them promote these policies. And with gender, we look to incorporate women in everything we do and understanding that you don't make a victim, further victimized when a police officer is asking really tough questions and how can we get them to be a part of the solution. So I think the more we understand where we are particular comparative advantage as a bureau, as an agency is in this, it helps. So for example, on atrocity response, which I didn't talk about earlier, there are a lot of programs that my colleagues around the table have about working with the victims and documenting crimes. And I think where we on the INL side is we can work with whether it's the people they're coming to in the moment to not victimize them or if it's years afterwards, it's the forensics part of it and how does law enforcement do that type of work. So really understanding where is our comparative advantage? Where do we understand that we're doing, should we focus in specific countries, should we focus more generally? But these are all things that we have to get better at and I'm really pleased to look around the table today and see all the wonderful things my colleagues are doing and I for one would love to continue this conversation to see how we can continue to compliment. Thanks so much, Toby. Scott and then bro. Yeah, David, so specifically on Global Fragility Act and Atrocity Prevention, fortunately, and I don't know whether this is, by happenstance or was intentional, the CSO Bureau has been assigned lead responsibility on both. So the fact though they have to integrate the two. David, as you probably recall, the CSO Bureau from its inception has been sort of in search of a mission and I think the fact that it has been given the lead on these two distinct but related things has very much helped to integrate the two. Additionally, our Undersecretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, Azrazea has really sought to bring together the different bureaus, offices, and entities within the J family to ensure that sort of coordination and alignment. So I think that too has helped to ensure that where we encounter these situations, the three of us here can all bring our information and programs to bear on that problem. Great, thank you Scott. Roe. Oh yeah. Yeah, I don't wanna speak for our CPS Bureau, but I think there was also some similar scratching of heads early on and trying to think about how to bring these agendas together and where's the coherence there. And I think a lot of common language or where we landed on is the common language, prevention and resilience. And if you're focusing on those two things, I mean that's the overlap between the fragility and atrocity and so I think, and to add to the complexity, then where does democracy, rights, and governance fit into that and it's key to prevention and resilience. So that's another element to build in, but I think you're seeing that coherence, that common language is starting to develop and so maybe that's where you'll see more of these agendas merge as you see the similar components throughout and the similar, you know, what's underlying them all. Just to give one example, in the conflict assessment framework, you know, atrocity prevention components are built into that, right? And so you're seeing that merging happening practically, but it'll probably just take a little bit more time before that coherence is fully there. Great, thank you Roe for our non-U.S. government audience. Couple acronyms, CSO is State Department's Bureau for Conflict and Stabilization Operations, the lead conflict bureau in the State Department. CPS is the USAID's Peacebuilding Bureau as I call it. It stands for Conflict Prevention and Stabilization and so they're two key players so thank you for signing that. Allison knows a lot about fragility so I'm gonna tap her and then I'm gonna ask a final question just to cat, cause she's a Green Ant Shades fellow person like me and I wanna ask her a budget question. So Allison, please. Sure, I think, you know, Roe said it right about the link between fragility with particularly with prevention and resilience. I'll say, you know, as the U.S. government gets better at this and getting kind of earlier in the chain of violence instead of just reactive and we're working to bring others along. So I think you'll increasingly see us have this conversation with our partners in the International Trassee Prevention Working Group on how do we get kind of earlier interventions that maybe don't make the headlines but are really gonna head off something and making the case for that can often be difficult but is really a core part of these two strategies. Similarly, I think in the multilateral arena, attacking and getting at kind of fragile states is very difficult because who calls themselves fragile and how are member states representing in the multilateral arena but getting at some of these early problems through programs, through raising awareness, through investigations and reporting and documentation is absolutely gonna be essential so we're less reactive to atrocities. Great, thank you. So the real truth about people sitting around the semi-circles that the how you go up in the policy world or programming world, the last time you actually can deal with important issues like this but you have to deal with budgets, return to office, keeping morale up during COVID, all those really important leadership roles and budgets are supremely important. So Kat used to be deputy director of Scott's Bureau's program office so she had to handle her budget very closely and they have a lot of money to do a lot of important work. So Kat, I was reading the report last night, the first annual US government report to Congress on reporting on progress on the implementation of the LA Vizel Act and it had a paragraph about the budget. It said from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2021, the budget rose ninefold from 6 million to 54 million and it did explain that despite a $5 million earmark by Congress for atrocity prevention, the dramatic rise in that one year increase was due to better reporting for atrocity prevention. So my final question is, does that relatively small number matter as Roe and panelists this morning said, this is about harnessing a lot of existing programs across many sectors to bear as Rob Jenkins put way upstream on prevention. So should a congressperson, a congressional staff care about that number? What number does that tell you and how on the inside do you construct worry about a sufficient budget to drive this agenda? You're talking about budget, so. I mean, President Biden said show me your budget, I'll show you your priorities. So in terms of that small number, I think that's indicative of a couple of things, once there has been an increase in conflict and so I think that's reflective of that as well. Certainly and I'm gonna give my USAID colleagues and some credit on this, but on the gender space, we managed, Secretary Blinken announced this last March that we have doubled our gender attribution request from $1.3 billion to $2.6 billion. And this isn't existing money, this isn't new money. So the requirement to integrate gender into what everyone is doing has now doubled. I have to give Toby a lot of credit and I and I'll immediately request that GUI come in and brief their entire bureau on gender issues and make sure that was incorporated and we have great collaboration with our bureaus. But in terms of does that small number matter, it absolutely matters. Precedent matters, what we're learning matters. Training, certainly that's something that we garnered from our women's peace and security report as well. How important training and training on how to do the work to make sure that's integrated to then do the data collection. We have to celebrate our wins, but we also have to address what the gaps are that we're not getting to. So data across the board is so important. One of the issues with collecting that is staffing. You know, one of the things I think and Scott will appreciate this, but we increased the staffing in the opposite global programs in DRL substantially to make sure that we were able to track and collect that data that we were actually being able to implement and accurately report. And that we had a cadre of experts that were able to provide the support to civil society organizations and that they need to get through the crazy procurement regulations that don't inhibit the actual great work and programs that you're doing. So that small number is really important. So we can make the case for why either more needs to be provided, what other areas are necessary. But again, data is huge and so is the training. That's something that's gonna get us to the point where we can actually compare apples to apples and see how things are progressing and truly where are the gaps that we are not addressing. Thank you so much, Kat. So with that, I bring to a close panel two on operationalizing atrocity prevention. Thank you, dear colleagues and panelists for all the experience and expertise you brought to this topic. Now I'm going to introduce our closing speaker who's appearing by video. One of the important seats occupied at the monthly atrocity prevention task force meetings is occupied by a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security this morning. We're honored to have with us Under Secretary for Strategy, Policy and Plans, Robert Silvers. And now we'll hear from Under Secretary Silvers. Hello, and it's great to be with you today. My name is Robert Silvers. I'm the Under Secretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security. Mass atrocities are tragically all too common in this world. They break our heart. They offend our values. They also endanger international peace, stability and prosperity. Atrocity prevention and respect for human rights are critical pillars of U.S. national security and foreign policy, full stop. This has recently been enshrined in the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act. The administration's accompanying strategy, which we dedicate today, articulates how the United States will coordinate whole of government authority and expertise to reach its goals. DHS plays a crucial role in the White House's strategy to anticipate, prevent and respond to atrocities effort by supporting justice and accountability for human rights abuses. Homeland Security Investigations operates the Human Rights Violators and War Crime Center. This team of special agents, attorneys, intelligence analysts and historians brings a whole of government approach to identifying, investigating and prosecuting those who commit human rights violations. Working with partners from other agencies, DHS coordinates law enforcement action and information sharing to investigate and support the prosecution of individuals for relevant federal crimes including genocide, torture and war crimes. The Human Rights Violators and War Crime Center is the only government entity entirely focused on investigating global atrocities and the perpetrators of human rights violations and war crimes. Such actions make it a crucial partner in the larger United States effort to prevent, respond to and recover from mass atrocities. Beyond providing accountability for these crimes and preventing the United States from being a safe haven for war criminals, DHS also plays a role in preventing atrocities through its international partnerships. Establishing relationships and building new ties with allies and partners is vital to protecting the homeland. DHS also supports foreign partners through capacity building programs and sharing of best practices in areas such as aviation security, border security, investigation techniques and biometric collection. This work supports atrocities prevention by strengthening the rule of law and enhancing law enforcement professionalization. A strong security sector also improves stability, prevents impunity and increases the chances of catching bad actors before they act. As articulated in the strategy released by the White House today, our efforts will be comprehensive and unyielding. It takes concrete actions from all of us across the U.S. government, but also alongside those outside of government to eradicate mass atrocities and bring perpetrators to justice. The Department of Homeland Security is proud to be a crucial partner in these efforts. Thank you on behalf of the task force for joining us today. Thank you under Secretary Silvers and thank you to you and your colleagues at the Department of Homeland Security for your contributions to this work. We've had a full morning. Thanks for being with us. The U.S. strategy to anticipate, prevent and respond to atrocities is indeed duly launched. Thanks to everybody who participated this morning. Thanks to the actors who got us to this day, those in Congress, those in the executive branch, those in civil society around the world, those at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and museums like that around the world. And those who bear witness to atrocities. As we go forward together, let us remember the testimony of Dora Klayman. Let us remember that strategies are in the end, just words on a piece of paper. For words to become action, political will is needed. And not just collective will, but individual will. When I represented USAID at the Atrocity Prevention Board in the 2010s, I was always a little nervous and, if truth be told, scared at the start of each meeting. Scared at the enormity of the topics. Scared because I represented a non-cabinet agency amidst a sea of cabinet agencies. Scared because I represented a thematic bureau amidst a sea of geographic bureaus. Scared whether I would be able to muster that day the courage to speak truth to power. I always tried to cinch up my courage by reminding myself that I was there only because I was representing the voices of the powerless. And that gave me, in those moments, clarity and a bit of courage. So to my successors on the Atrocity Prevention Task Force and to all of us working in this critical field, I wish us clarity and courage. Let us remember the bearing witness of Dora Klayman and Ellie Vizel. Let us make their clarity our clarity, their courage our courage. Their words are words and their actions are actions. In that way we can fulfill the only important words, never again. Thank you and good day.

Hi, I'm Kyle and this video is brought to you by the Old Road Zeme. Today we're going to talk about how to accept critique and fix your work before you release it into the world and improve your art. This map is something I was really excited about from the beginning of the campaign. It's a map of the spheres. It's a space map. So if you ever get tired of kind of kicking around the old roads, you can immediately leap into interplanetary travel, interplanar travel, and a lot of these locations on this map are based off of public domain stories and ghost stories and folklore and things like that. And I got a little too excited about it. I got a little too invested and I just kept cramming things on to this map and it really caused some problems for me. Now at some point you may have come across the phrase killing your darlings. This phrase is attributed to writer William Faulkner and the idea here is that you want to eliminate the things that you that you love the most about your work, but cannot explain why they are important or integral to the work. And I just started cramming things in all of my favorite things. I've always wanted to draw for people on a map all of the kinds of beautiful gaming I've wanted to introduce to people. It's all here. It is the Smash Brothers of fantasy space maps and that became a big problem. I thought I had done a good job laying out where all the text was going to go and clearly presenting where everything needed to be and I thought for sure I had enough room, but I made it so detailed and so tightly packed that by the end of it you couldn't read a dang thing on this map. It doesn't really look so bad when there's no text on it, but as soon as you add the text in Photoshop, it really became clear that there was a problem. So then it becomes a question. If I feel there was a problem, what is the next step? Can I trust my judgment anymore? Where can I find help? So when I finished up everything and I got all this cool grid line work done and I scanned this and I tried to turn it color negative like a star map and it looked terrible and as soon as I started adding labels, I knew something was deeply wrong with this. This was entirely too crowded. So I reached out to a couple of friends on a couple of different Discord servers and just said like, Hey, is this too crowded? When you go to people for feedback, it's always a really good idea to have a question instead of just, hey, what do you think of this? Be mindful of how much time you're asking people to invest in this. Go in with something that you're trying to solve and then don't haggle with people. Don't tell them, well, I was going for this. Don't defend your work. All right, you have you have already called it into crisis by asking for feedback. So just accept whatever comes out. Your job as an artist looking for feedback is not to just do what everybody says to do to fix your work. It is instead to listen to people where there's where they say there is friction, where they say there is unclearity or there are problems. You have to solve it in your own way as an artist. That's that's up to you to solve that problem. But listen to other people to find out where that problem is. This is the finished map. I I should have known better that, especially when I plan to include text like I have on city maps in the past, it becomes really important to leave a lot of extra white space. So each individual thing reads as a distinct shape. So let's kind of compare and we can see what the differences were and how I interpreted critique. So the first thing that you'll probably notice is I had to cut down content on this map by about 30, 40 percent. The stuff that I felt like where it was the most obscure or the least evocative, that's what I decided to cut. And then, of course, all these wavy, hand drawn grid lines as as cool and as evocative as they were, the detail density was spoiling the readability of this map, the legibility of this map. It was just it was too much information. So by increasing the space in between that grid and making that grid on the computer itself, instead of hand drawn lines, it gives it a very separate quality and then also making sure I have this nice halo of white space around all of the words and images really helps these read as distinct elements. We did a version of this map without the grids and it just kind of looked like a stack of things that's one of the things that I always like to put grids into my maps is it helps it read immediately as a map. So shout outs to my friends, Ginger and Christopher, who who really helped me kind of iron this out and nail down how to fix this. I have to admit, when I sent this out to discord and said, is this too crowded? I really, really was hoping that everyone would say, no, it looks fine. So I didn't have to do any extra work. And internally, I was very grumpy that anything needed to be changed at all. That's just what it takes to be an artist that's part of the process. And you may as well get used to it. But I think if you follow the tips that I've given you for for taking that feedback and accepting it graciously instead of defensively and you don't have to explain yourself, you you just have to accept that your the impact of your work is communicating one thing and you want your you want the impact of your work to be communicating something different than giving a different experience. How you address the problems that are pointed out is ultimately up to you. But once the problems are pointed out, especially if there's repeats, that's then you know there's definitely a problem there. That's it for this video. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. If you heard something nifty, leave a like. If you like these videos, maybe go ahead and subscribe. And maybe one day we'll meet on the old roads. Farewell.

So, I'm Bill, I'm from an agency called Imagine, which is headquartered up in Boston. We actually have an office down in South Florida as well, which is where my wife and I flew up from to be here with you. Much nicer weather here than we're getting down there right now, extremely hot and humid. I'm here to talk about selling bigger projects to bigger companies. One thing I think is important before I get started is, so Imagine is a decent size agency. We have close to 50 employees now, been in business for, I'd say, about 15 years. And this talk is not intended to necessarily be designed around building an agency, building a big company, I mean, maybe some people want to do that. Maybe some people just want to earn a better living, sell bigger projects. So it's really just about making more money, either making more money doing what you're already doing or doing bigger stuff. I know that a lot of people get into this business, it's not really for the money. Just a passion for either design or development or technology. And I can honestly say now after doing this for many years that it really shouldn't be all about the money. I wouldn't have ever thought I would say that if someone had asked me in my early 20s because back then it was all about building something big and making a bunch of money and having cool things and now as I look back, it's really been about enjoying what I've done and a passion for this business. For me personally, I'm not a web developer, it's another disclaimer. So all the stuff I'm going to talk about here today, if anybody has any questions about exactly how we do the stuff that we do, please, I probably won't be able to answer any of that stuff. I'm a sales and marketing guy. But so sales and marketing has always been my passion. It's what I was doing before I started to imagine. And without that passion, there definitely wouldn't have been much success. So it really shouldn't be all about the money. But that said, I don't know many people that don't want to make more money. If there's anyone in the room that doesn't care about making any more money, raise your hand. So we all care about making more money. And again, it doesn't necessarily mean making millions of dollars and building big companies, but just earning more for yourself and being more profitable and ultimately the way that we have found and imagined the way that we've done that is moving up the food chain. To a certain extent, what I'm going to talk about here today is simply getting more for what you're already doing. But with us, it's definitely been a graduation. We've had to move up. We've had to take chances and sell bigger projects and sell things that we weren't necessarily comfortable with or confident that we were going to be able to execute on. So it's really a mix of simply charging more for what you're already good at and what you're already doing because most people that I meet are not charging enough. But also, like I said, moving up the food chain and figuring out how to sell bigger stuff. So I think probably important for me to start with a little bit of an intro on who I am, who my company is. I don't want this to come across at all as a sales pitch about me, but just in order to establish a little bit of credibility here and what I'm going to be talking about. I'd want to talk a little bit about the history. So we started, like I said, if you really want to dig in, my partner and I, so companies owned by two of us, we started dabbling in web stuff as early as 1995. So we're talking at a time where nobody had websites. So it was very easy to sell web development services because everybody was hearing of this stuff, everybody knew they needed something, nobody had any clue how to get it done. And whatever you walked in and said to people, they were going to believe and buy it from you because everybody needed it. So we were basically kind of the typical two guys in a garage. We did not have any money to put into this business. And when I say we didn't have any money, I mean we had no money. My partner and I both grew up, I'd say, relatively poor single moms. So not even a couple thousand dollars to put into this business at the beginning. We were just a couple guys with computers, me with a little bit of sales and marketing. Maybe I pretended to be a designer for the first little while that we were starting out. My partner a lot more technical than I am, he always handled the programming side of things. But just pretty much kind of the, I'd say a very typical model in this business, just a couple of guys diving in and figuring things out, which 18, 15, 20 years later, basically what we're still doing every day, just figuring it out. In the early days, pretty much taking on anything that we could get. So from very small business, little brochure websites, doing a little bit of e-commerce, a mix, pretty much again. Anything we could get our hands on, just to figure stuff out, make a paycheck, whatever we sold, we would pretty much split the check and that's how we were making a living. We had zero focus. So neither my partner or I came from any real industry background. So it's not as though we came with any connections. It's not as though we had, came with any knowledge of any particular industry. There was no focus. Anything we could sell, we would do in terms of web development. We were so old that there was no WordPress. There was no Juma. There was no Drupal. There was nothing. So we, I say we, he built our own proprietary CMS because there really was nothing else. So back then, we first started on Cold Fusion, eventually transitioned over to ASP, ASP.net, did that for many years. We never really, we didn't want to be a software CMS company. It's never really what we wanted to be, but because there wasn't anything else good available to us, we had our own CMS. So it was great once the open source platforms really kind of came into their own over the past several years. We dabbled a little in Juma, a little bit in Drupal, but ultimately I'd say three, four years ago decided WordPress was what we're going to focus on. So we've been solely focused on WordPress as our platform for the past three to four years or so. So again, going way back, Average Project was anywhere from $1,000 to a few thousand dollars. Again, mostly small businesses. Manufacturing was just an easy target for us because we just happened to have been located near a bunch of industrial parks that had a lot of manufacturers, small manufacturers, maybe companies that did anywhere between three and $10 million a year in revenues. So we focused a lot on them only because there were a lot of them around us. They all needed websites and they could all afford $1,000 to $3,000 for us to throw together a decent website for them. What's very important and I think is going to show throughout this entire presentation is even back then we always were focused if not obsessed on sales and marketing. So I guess we are technology people, more so some people in our company than others. I again don't consider myself really a technical person, but my partner and I both and just kind of permeating throughout the company, we've always been obsessed with sales and marketing because it's my belief that without that mentality you will not grow a business very much. You're focused just day to day on WordPress or on design or on development. The saying if you build it they'll come. I don't think that's true at all. I wish that were true. I wish that we could have sat back, built a business that people would have been flocking to us looking to spend money. Just never worked that way. We have always had to find and close business the hardest way possible which I'm going to talk about here today. And a lot of the stuff that I'm going to talk about, a lot of people might not have the stomach for it. The sales and marketing that I'm going to talk about is hard. It's time consuming. It requires this as I say an obsession over sales and marketing and relentless pursuit of new business and I'll get into the details of all that. So the next decade I would say after the first few years we went about ten years straight being one particular era of our business and that's where we gradually defined what our strengths were. Again that never stops. We're still defining our strengths every day and they change. Figured out what type of projects made money. So like I said in the early days we would take on anything and everything. We learned what was really going to be our bread and butter and I would say for the most part it was what would be called a brochure site. So a brochure site might not be a five or six page website for the pizza shop down the street even for a manufacturer or a small high tech startup. The sites are not tremendously complex. They might have 40, 50, 60 pages on them. They might have some functionality in WordPress to manage press releases and put registration forms in front of things like white papers and maybe they're integrated with a CRM system like salesforce.com or Marketo but these are not any most of what I'm going to talk about here today through our entire evolution and all the selling I'm going to talk about is not with regard to selling complex web applications. That's not who we are. We're a website design and digital marketing company. So none of the things I'm talking about are complex development. We might have the technical acumen in house but that's that the highly, highly technical projects have never been what we consider to be money makers. And there's a lot of money out there to be spent on the real technical stuff but not necessarily to be made in terms of profitability. So we've always focused on the relatively simple type of stuff and that took a while to figure out. We built a few, we made a lot of mistakes. We built a few highly technical applications. We built a few e-commerce sites that, again I'm going back a little bit that maybe should have probably cost $50,000 and we charged eight literally and a year later we're still building this website. We made a lot of those mistakes. So it was a very important thing for us to identify what type of projects were really money makers. We started over this next decade to define our industries and the type of companies that we thought were going to be good to go after and again that's always evolving still today. But as I'm going to point out I think critical and I think a lot of developers that I meet are not doing this. Again it's very easy to take on anything and everything and try to be everything to everyone. I think that's a mistake. I think that everybody, whether you're one guy, five guys, or 50, you know you need to define who your core markets are, what you're going to be good at for a variety of reasons and I'll get into those. So we started to define that high tech became a specialty of ours just because we're from the Boston region and it's such a tech mecca. Again we don't really come from technical backgrounds but because of where we happen to be born there were so many high tech startups, biotechs in the region, so much venture capital up there that we decided to go after those companies and did very well for them for about 10 years and like I said that was a little intimidating for us because these are companies with millions of dollars in funding behind them and big shot CEOs that had come from big companies. We decided to go after them anyway. It was very intimidating but one of the things I'm going to talk about here today more is going after things that you're not necessarily comfortable with and I think that's really one of the only ways to grow. If you stay within your comfort zone you'll stay pretty much selling and charging the same that you are for projects. So tech, biotech, those became big industries of ours. We slowly added a handful of employees, very difficult. I'm sure anybody here who has an employee or two or more or is thinking about hiring an employee can identify. It's very difficult. Payroll is very stressful. Once you get into things like medical insurance and 401ks it's very challenging to build a company and so taking on that handful of employees was definitely risky and also a big sacrifice because it essentially meant my partner and I not getting paid for months. Kind of taking what we needed to pay our rent and pay our personal bills but really not making any income over and above that in the interest of being able to hire our first part time designer just out of college. More interestingly as I talk a lot here today about this obsession with sales and marketing our first employee was not a designer, was not a developer, our first employee was a part time inside sales person. So it was a young kid who would hammer the phones for us and find us leads. So we've always had an obsession on sales and marketing for day one. Our average project over that 10 year period grew from about 5,000 on average in our first few years to about 25,000 on average over that next decade. So that's going up to about 2010. We had a period there where we just sold a ton of projects at about $25,000 and just so you know who the companies are at that price point. These were again, these were not huge companies but they were no longer the small, small manufacturers that we were finding in the industrial park in the early years. They were a lot of like I said VC backed high tech startups, maybe companies including manufacturers, industrial companies, professional services companies that maybe did up to 20, 25 million a year in revenues which in the scheme of things is not really a big company. And that was our target for a while and they, I'm not going to say it was easy selling a lot of them website services for $25,000 but we probably did over that 10 year period. We probably did 6,700 websites to completion at that price point for again companies that are not enormous companies. Bigger at first than we were comfortable talking to intimidating for us at first going in and talking to big shot CEOs who had Harvard MBAs and Wharton guys because that's not, I mean one other note neither my partner I graduated from college. So most of these people that we've been selling to our entire career have been much smarter than we are. So it's always been intimidating. So as much as I talk about boldly walking into bigger companies and selling them bigger things for more money, I can't lie every single time that has been intimidating to me. To this day this many years into this business it's intimidating to me because I'm usually selling to people who again are a lot smarter, a lot more formally educated and in a lot of ways a lot more successful than I am. But it required that I use the word confidence, I don't know if it was real confidence I would say kind of phony confidence that I've had to put on that has generated a lot of these deals. Once again always throughout this history maintaining an obsession a laser focus on sales and marketing yes it's interesting and I'm going to talk a lot about that and I would say yes we have augmented our lead generation with new tactics and things like social media didn't exist 10, 15 years ago and this inbound and content marketing. So we've augmented but a lot of it is a lot of what we did way back which I'm going to talk about is still exist today. Yes, us B2B we have maybe should have pointed out we have always been focused on B2B. Now I think maybe the reason I don't highlight that is because I don't know that that matters and I don't know that that should necessarily be advice for anybody because there's a lot of money to be made in B2C. We just never really thought we knew it well enough. We do B2C we do pharmaceutical companies in the healthcare we're working on some hospitals that would be the extent of our B2C experience. So yes we've always had a focus on B2B a lot of technology companies manufacturers but I don't that's not necessarily a recommendation from me. So recent years just now looking over these and then I'm going to wrap up with our history and I'm going to bore you too much with the story. But over the past few years now we've continued and we'll always continue to define and refine our markets as I just mentioned hospitals that's a fairly new thing for us it's a new market we're working on a couple of them now but that's a fairly new market for us. Obviously continue to add and refine your core offerings at all times. We've built and leveraged a highly specialized portfolio we can proudly say again because we're so old and have been doing this for so long we have an enormous portfolio but it's also very specialized so it's not only big but we were able to by focusing on one thing and I can't emphasize this enough and not necessarily one thing maybe it's three things. You start to build up a portfolio of work and references that are highly relevant to those people that you're going in and selling to and that has been our strongest selling point. When we went into a small high-tech startup in Boston and we could show them and I mean literally showed them although we've always had a website we would walk in with printed color glossy printout portfolios. I came from print and direct mail before I started to imagine so I've always loved the power and impact of a hard printed colorful piece and I still do today. So we've always traveled around with print printed color portfolios of our work and we walk into a high-tech startup and we can show we couldn't necessarily do all of this in one printed piece but when we can show five, six hundred websites we've done like yours but even if that number was twenty or thirty or eight to ten you've got a big advantage over the other guys you're competing with. So specialization was huge and so we've leveraged that. It's difficult when we go into a new market. We don't have any hospitals under our belt yet we see that as a highly lucrative market for us so that's a little challenging anytime you're going to a new one but the more you can specialize and build that portfolio and leverage it later in sales the more it's going to help you. As I mentioned already we made WordPress our primary platform over the past few years. There's been challenges in that because we are as I keep saying moving up the food chain bigger companies are a little reluctant to WordPress in many cases. Not across the board but I would say our experience has shown Drupal to be a little bit more favored and I think if I were... We don't have all the answers as to why that is and we don't have all the answers as to how to overcome that. We're constantly working on that but IT departments largely drive too many decisions in a lot of these big companies. So we see websites as typically owned by marketing and in reality behind the scenes marketing doesn't own it as much as they'd like to or they should. IT is easily able to convince the executives at a company that they know what's best for the platform for their website and IT departments tend to favor Drupal so we're constantly fighting that fight and doing okay with it but we still lose a lot of deals to Drupal. I'd say Jumla has not been that impactful to our sales but we lose a lot of sales to Drupal. We go back and forth every year should we need to be a Drupal shop too with that double our business and it might but we also know that as I've already said we can't be everything to everyone so specialization not only in terms of the markets you focus on but in terms of your strengths and your offerings specialization focusing on your strengths being great at a couple of things instead of just good at everything we look at a lot of our competitors and they list every CMS you could list on their website and some of you might do that. We laugh when we see that because we know there's no way they can be good at all this stuff because we're having a hard time being good at one so Howard and we're almost 50 people and we're barely good at one in many ways and we'll see a firm who might be much smaller than us and they've got 12 different CMSs listed on their website so we know they're probably lying which to a certain extent you have to in sales but so our average project now and I don't want to talk too much about the high numbers but I think it's at least important to mention our average project today is somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000 we do some projects I would say several projects that are much more than that a year some done projects close to half a million dollars nothing bigger than that many a year in the $150,000, $200,000, $250,000 range but again I don't want to focus too much on that because I don't think that's the real focus of this presentation as opposed to just a gradual moving up the food chain so that's just kind of an overview and history of where we've come and how we've gotten there as I've said a couple times here I think it's really important and a lot of this is marketing 101 that some of you might be saying well duh I know that but as obvious as some of this stuff is it's amazing to me how rarely you see it actually on display and so I'm going to talk a lot of stuff that is kind of basic marketing principles 101 but it's important to mention and talk about it in a little more detail and it is important to identify and decide who you are and as I said in that brief history of us that was probably the most important thing that we did we decided on some markets that were going to make us money we decided on the type of projects that we were good at and not good at and we went after those and did it relentlessly and maybe would stray here and there but I would say the focus once we decided what that was that we were pretty good at it and we stayed pretty focused even though we always experimented a little bit we continue to experiment I can't say enough how important that focus is also decide who you are what are you again whether it's you individually as a web developer or if you've got a firm what is your brand what is the identity that you want prospective clients of yours or existing clients of yours to perceive you as and you know that's not easy and that's a gradual process you kind of gradually figure out who you are in business as I mentioned determine what you're good at because and that doesn't mean to not experiment and try things that you don't know yet because you always have to do that in this business it's basically how we all exist we're always figuring out how to do the next thing but don't take on too much stuff that you know is going to be a loser just for the money as I said we've done that even as we matured we did it because we've been through a couple I keep talking about how many years we've been in business but through that we've been through a couple of really difficult financial times 9-11 happened shortly after we went into business and everything tanked for a good couple of years 2008-2009 happened and everything tanked and I don't know that we've really we as a country have fully rebounded from that yet so there's been times where that occasional project came up for us as an opportunity that we knew was going to be a loser for us and we took it on anyway and every single time we regretted it because we did rebound later we did get more of the kind of business that we wanted and then we still had this horrible thing that we took on kind of out of desperation sitting over there not done yet taking money that we should have never taken on in the first place so it's easy to say don't be lured by the money but really the more you can resist taking on the stuff that you know is going to be a loser the better in the long run again determine what makes you the most money I can't say that I have an exact precise handle I'd like to think my production manager at my company has a better handle than I do on it but I can't say that I know exactly how much we make on every project but you do learn which types of things are good which things are going to be more profitable which things require the kind of effort that you just don't think is the best use of your time and focus on those things and again choose your target industries choose your target companies and company size I'm going to talk about how to target them but it's very important to choose them that's the part that I don't think I can answer for you here today as I mentioned we've been focused on B2B and healthcare those have been our core markets throughout our history that does not at all mean that that's who you should focus on so I'm not really going to try to talk much about who you should focus on like I said in our early days manufacturers were always a great target because yeah up in Boston we had a lot of high tech companies around us but there's barely a town in America that does not have dozens of 5, 10, 15 million dollar industrial manufacturing companies everywhere in all of these industrial buildings and warehouses and industrial parks and obviously it makes it makes sense for a number of reasons to start regionally we've expanded our business now we're a national firm and I do think that you should consider going outside of your region especially I think that was a big step for us as well we had always focused on the Boston region because it was easy to get in the car and drive to these meetings and now I look and think about even if it wasn't enormous it wasn't necessarily an enormous project but let's say it was we're going to be something that was 10, 12,000 dollars but it might have required me a 300 dollar round trip flight to get there to try to pitch it but I thought it was going to be a real strong opportunity worth the money never did it in the early days we pretty much stuck to who we could drive to within 30, 40 minutes and as I look back today I would have expanded regionally a little bit sooner in my career than I did because I mean it just opens up the opportunities endlessly there's challenges in that and I can say being here in the south you guys have been one of our specific challenges because southerners like to work with southerners and being the Boston guys trying to sell into a lot of the southern states we hit a lot of resistance so regional expansion has its nuances and the south was one of those nuances for us that we were just never really successful here but you'll find regions where people don't care there's companies and people where they don't care where you're located if you've got a strong differentiator for me and I'm convinced you're the best person to do this project for me I don't care where you are this is a remote but now we visit our clients but you don't even have to necessarily this is obviously a highly virtual business it's a technical field there are a lot of projects that can be done without ever traveling to anybody we always find it worthwhile to get in front of our perspective clients and then once we're actually starting a project to be in front of them and they'll usually pay for that they're not going to pay for your sales pitch but most companies again not just big companies once they've selected you to do a project for them and you just put in the contract that you'd like for them to pick up your travel and accommodations if they're out of state for you 90% of the time they're going to see that as a non-issue to pay for that extra four or five hundred dollars for a flight in a hotel room for a night for you so regional expansion was something I definitely wish that we had done a little bit sooner I can't say this enough obsessed over sales and marketing but knowing again a lot of the stuff that I'm talking about here today and gun it once I get into the specific tactics as I said I don't think is necessarily for everybody but it's difficult the the B2B marketing so regardless of what market you're going at you're going after for us all this is B2B marketing marketing a professional service to other businesses it's difficult it's very time consuming it requires relentless perseverance and patience and a little bit of luck and we wish that luck would strike a lot more often than it does my wife is sitting here in the front row with the camera on me she works at Imagine and Business Development and and we have I think we have a team of between inside lead generation people and outside sales people we have a team of eight or so and she's one of the people on the inside that hammers the phone and email and LinkedIn and making connections with people and doing research and finding all these companies that we've identified that fit our target market and contacts all these companies every day we wish that luck she wishes believe me every day that luck would strike a lot more often than it does on that day that I'm calling emailing a hundred companies that one every single day I'm going to be lucky enough to get them at that moment that they have a need for a project and they're happy to talk to me it doesn't happen that way so a little bit of luck happens and she loves when that happens and they love when that happens but it really is about just the relentless perseverance and obsession over contacting these companies which again we'll talk about in detail so to move on to the tactical stuff and as this gentleman asked a little while ago about our lead generation tactics they've evolved but we have stuck with and successfully very traditional methods and you any day you go on Twitter or LinkedIn people who are B2B thought leaders about marketing and lead generation barely a day goes by where you won't see at least 10 posts that say outbound marketing is dead cold calling is dead inbound marketing inbound marketing I've always believed and we believe this that the people who say outbound marketing is dead and cold calling is dead are just the people that don't want to do it and inbound marketing has given people something to grab on to to say oh no I don't have to pick up that phone because now we have inbound marketing you can do things like content marketing and social media and thought leadership and people are just going to come to me with all their money to spend I don't meet many people who that's working that way for obviously inbound marketing is a real thing we do it we love it when it works and I'm going to talk about it but one of the reasons my family was in the retail business for several years coming up from Boston Seafood is big up there so my brother and my sister had seafood business couple of stores and one of the things I always hated about retail was it's such a passive business you're standing there basically waiting for people to hopefully walk in your door and maybe you can do some advertising but you're basically standing and hoping that people come in your door I never wanted to be in that position when I decided on the business why I've always liked the services business the services business you can constantly be reaching out to the people that you want to do business with and that's how we've always done it it's how we continue to do it today we've been doing marketing which is great when it works but what we do and always have done from the time again from the time it was just Brett my partner and me and our first employee being a part time kid right out of college I think he was actually still in college to him are the phones for us it has always been the hard hard work that nobody really wants to do and I mean nobody wants to hit the phones every day the bad news from my perspective and by the way if any of you have found other ways to generate a lot of business great for you and the advice that I'm giving with regard to the phones and this stuff that everyone hates to do forget it but we have not for us it has always been the hardest ways to generate business are also the most successful ways so pick your targets ok so like I said we focused on manufacturers just because there happened to have been a lot of them around us they seemed to generally have the kind of money that we were looking for which was maybe a few thousand dollars in the early days and so we focused on them and then we found them all so what does that mean for me it was literally on a Sunday afternoon I remember I was still living with my mom I was in my early 20s and I had her take me for a ride around an industrial park and I was literally leaning out the window writing down all of these companies industrial park I couldn't afford a mailing list and even today we barely buy any mailing list we do most of our research ourselves on companies and contacts using LinkedIn and picking up the phone and asking who the appropriate contacts are but back then I was driving around with my mom writing down a list of a bunch of companies none of this was from a textbook I just really didn't know how else to go about this back then so I wrote down a bunch of companies this was a Sunday afternoon the next morning I picked up the phone called every single company that I had written down the day before and asked who would make decisions there with regard to your marketing or a website again none of them had websites this is going way back and oftentimes it might be a receptionist that answered the phone the decision maker would in many cases be the owner of the company again fairly small companies maybe occasionally there was a marketing manager that they would lead me to maybe occasionally I would get hung up on but I would build that list and yet today we use a CRM system back then I might not have even been using Excel I might have been writing them down on a Word document I might have been jotting them down on a notebook I don't really remember but at the very least create your list build your list of companies build your list of contacts use them put them in a spreadsheet use outlook even to keep your whatever it is again CRM systems are nice but keeping a relatively small list of a few hundred companies is not that difficult whatever format you decide to use but find the appropriate contacts one of the things that that I did read in my early days because I was a big proponent of direct mail was that any marketing that you do to anybody regardless of the creative regardless of the message regardless of the offer the most important component to any marketing is the accuracy of that list okay so I can't emphasize enough how important that is because we obsess over it daily so again Crystal here my wife the rest of my marketing sales marketing team every day just spend relentless hours just finding those people so contacting them is a whole separate part of it but finding out who they are and knowing accurately who it is you should be talking to and in certain cases that's going to be multiple people in a given company so the bigger you get to be one person in many cases we're contacting the CEO slash owner of a company a marketing manager of the bigger companies now have all these weird titles so we can't just decide okay we need to go after that position because there are so many made up titles in this world of you know e-business digital evangelist you know every buzzword you can think of has come into people's titles so we just kind of have to figure that out one by one build the list contact as many people as you can within a given company at a certain point one of them is going to respond to you and say stop calling her she has nothing to do with this I'm your person talk to me and by the way I'm not interested and then you just kind of back off for a while but until then until you're told now contact as many people as you can do everything you can to try to ease that door opening get inside of it and don't worry about being annoying hammer them and do anything you can to get in so the meticulous research is critical with regard to who you're contacting create high value offers thank you things like so we did this in our very early days I would say we're a little remiss and not doing as much of this these days but in our early days what was very successful for us is we created a couple of educational workshops slash seminars SEO was a huge topic and it still is just as intriguing to people and we're going back to right around 2000 SEO was as intriguing then if not more as it is to people today nobody has any idea how it works they think it's some magic that goes on behind the scenes websites and Google's algorithms and all that it's always a topic that people want to hear about so we created this one hour free educational workshop on SEO and this topic could be anything anything that you can demonstrate expertise on that you think an audience might be interested in learning so maybe it's a demo of WordPress or WordPress being applied in a certain way but we use this free educational seminar workshop as an offer that we would call companies with and say we want to come in and do this for you it's a way to introduce ourselves there will be no selling whatsoever that goes on in this workshop and there's not we would have one slide at the end of it that said who we were and said and we would walk away saying and by the way if you are interested in doing business with us and learning about our services please let us know this is completely educational we went around with that SEO workshop and must have done it for 150 companies in a year it required a lot of running around and traveling and driving around and meeting a lot of people that were never going to spend any money but it generated a lot of business so high value educational offers the easiest use of that people create webinars white papers blog posts obviously so there's a lot of ways to demonstrate thought leadership and educate people the workshop was great because it gave you that chance to build rapport to be face to face and get to know people so offers free analyses we also do even today we still do a lot of free analyses and I don't mean automated reports that like we all get emailed to us sometimes telling us we're ranked in search engines we do a very comprehensive free analysis of somebody's website so an actual person in our company will write with screenshots critique a website we hand over a very comprehensive color document that's about 30 pages a lot of it is boilerplate we've really streamlined the process for doing this but it's a very impressive deliverable when we're handing a company a 30 page color document with screenshots of their website and things drawn all over it and some very intelligent commentary as well as some automated reports on some of the technical things that are wrong with their website from an SEO standpoint those types of offers go a long way and they've always been very important to our lead generation so try to think of some good offers that you can interest some prospects with because it's much better to be calling people with that type of stuff than just hey do you need a website or do you need web development services because we're good at it you'll generate a lot higher volume of interested responders with offers and coordinate your outreach and in terms of extending those offers so once you've defined your list, reach out to people email them mail to them we still use direct mail call them relentlessly connect with them on social media link them in engage with them on social media a lot of times that's difficult we wish social media would play a bigger role for us than it does but we've just found our prospects and our clients aren't as present on social media as we wish they were so the engaging of them is something we'd like to do but they're just not ready to engage yet we post a lot of social media we do a lot of articles and company culture type of stuff but as far as engaging our prospects they're just not quite ready for that we've found and score and segment your leads I don't want to go too much into this because this can be a this can be a whole seminar in itself but when you're using this process that I'm talking about of defining contact and reaching out to them and extending offers where it's not just all about hard sales calls you really end up with a variety of responders to your offers you end up with the people that we consider to be the luck ones you're calling people and someone happens to need what you're selling today and those are these couple of people of the dozens or hundreds that you could potentially be calling or emailing there's a couple that you happen to get very lucky with that need something today but most of those people that are going into the funnel end up in different categories so you might end up with a couple of conversations you might end up with a couple of people who are willing to take your offer but most of them are going to end up in these two categories they might engage you they might say hey we appreciate your call we appreciate your offer we're not really doing anything for six months or I'd appreciate if you check back in with me in three months or I know I'm not doing anything for 12 months we have no budget, we just let some people go you hear a variety of answers and it's important to classify these people again, whether it's in some fancy CRM system or you're just writing it down or keeping track of it in a spreadsheet classify the people you're talking to and don't give up on them so we have made most of our money with these people not the A leads the A leads make up for a very, very small percentage of the responders to your marketing so once somebody gives you even an opening of a door to speak to them later stay on them, call them call them monthly, email them do everything you can to stay in touch with them as I'm talking about, nurturing is everything once you build these contacts of those B and C and even D leads, the people who say they're not interested not interested just means they're not interested today they might have just created a whole new website they might already be working with some firm or a guy doing what they need that doesn't mean they're never going to be interested in what it is you have to offer so don't rule them out the people who tell you no contact them again in six months, something might have changed in our business, unfortunately for our clients but fortunately for us a lot of other people fail at the projects they took on and you'll meet a lot of people who say hey when you called me a few months ago I was engaged with someone else doing what I needed and they're not even picking up their phone anymore can you rescue me and help me out with this thing so we've gained a lot of business through the failure of others so nurture people, use social media use things, create things like webinars, white papers educate people, relentlessly but tactfully pursue the people that you define as your critical prospects once you have a sales ready prospect try to get in front of everybody face to face a lot of people, this is a virtual business a lot of people like to do things today mostly over the phone or using maybe a go to meeting or a WebEx to do the presentations I'm a big proponent of getting face to face in front of people there's nothing like face to face rapport so do everything you can to get in front of somebody ask a lot of questions do a lot more listening, this is again sales 101 do a lot more listening than you do talking ask questions that don't even pertain to the project let people know that you care about their business you understand their business and that you're there to help them not just to sell them so educating, empathizing is always going to close a heck of a lot more business than pitching and selling and make sure everything you do and everything you show is killer, your presentations should be beautiful your proposals should be as nicely designed as you do your websites graphics, every detail, your type that you're using we do fancy color covers on our proposals beautiful documents you want to make sure that every single contact point you have with a prospect is on point and makes you look super professional so even if you're one person look like a very professional business because that's what these people need in order to trust you in order to trust you with their every five, ten, forty thousand dollars so always remember that every single thing that you, even your business cards your business cards, thank you cards leave behinds everything must kind of convey the brand that you want to represent the details matter why should they choose you be great at something so I think we have a few things that we've defined as the things we're really good at it might be one thing, it might be five things define what that is, be great at it and be able to communicate that to your prospects why you're great at it define certain differentiators that might not even be that different okay, we sell one of our strengths differentiators is how much we're able to support our clients after the project's done because we do have a support and maintenance team that shouldn't be much of a differentiator say hey we'll be here for you after the project it is a differentiator add value through additional services so for us we do SEO we do social media, we build websites we do web hosting we do all this stuff in addition to just building websites for people as I mentioned, convince them that you can support them for the long term that's very important to businesses they definitely want to believe that you're going to be a long term partner for them and that you're not going to build this thing for them and then suddenly you went off and got another full time job and they're not answering their calls so very important, make them like you obviously as I mentioned on the previous slide you're a professional business, not just a web developer so come across as one be professional, be professional, dress the part have your presentations and your proposals on point and make it sound like it's going to be very easy for them so people sometimes relate these type of projects to like as painful as a root canap you need to make your clients or your prospective clients feel as though you're going to make it very easy for them and you're going to do all the hard stuff and heavy lifting and go big, okay I'm going to wrap this up in a minute go bigger than what you're doing today whatever it is you've been comfortable selling, whatever type of project you've been comfortable doing go a little bigger starting right away try stuff that's out of your comfort zone take on a project that you're not going to totally fall on your face with but try selling stuff that you've been a little uncomfortable with before and in addition to that start just charging more so even for the stuff that you're doing today I recommend you leave here and charge try on your next quote that you give out just charge 30% more and see what happens, okay and do that over a series of of your next quotes and proposals and it will usually work you might lose a couple so a couple of people might be a little bit turned off for those people that are just focused on price but if you can convince people that you're better and that you have value and that it's worth spending the extra money with you as opposed to going with the cheapest solution you'll win more that will outweigh those few that are going to be turned off by you being a little bit more expensive it's all about conveying that value and why you're a little bit more money but every time we every single time that we have increased our pricing not just moved up the food chain in terms of bigger companies bigger projects but literally just increased our pricing we had times where for the same level companies the same exact project we went from $5,000 and said you know what the next one we do we're going to $12,000 and we won more projects than we lost over the next six months of doing that because it actually increased our credibility that we were a little bit more money I think I'm up in time or do we have time for questions I wanted to say as far as questions go I could take a few here if we've got few minutes but I'm going to be hanging out outside the room for as long as I've got five more minutes okay so let me see if there's anything else I needed to get to no I don't think so so is there any questions yes so we go back and forth between Salesforce.com and SugarCRM Salesforce.com is obviously by far the most popular CRM in the world we use Sugar as well because it's open source so we can take around with it a little bit more yeah and it's free yes so as you grew how did you manage the ups and downs you got a banking relationship that helped make that a little bit easier to navigate? no no we've never taken any an interesting point we've never had any debt so we've never taken out any loans it's been difficult it's been very difficult managing the ups and downs and like I said a lot of through the downs a lot of it was my partner and I sacrificing paychecks to keep people employed but how we managed it was just a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of chest pain so I don't really have a great answer for that any other questions yes yeah we haven't we have probably not been as good at developing specific partners as we could be so in many cases we just have to say sorry that's not our thing and we lose the project because they do want everything done under one roof which in many cases we know our competitor is probably lying because we know that most of the firms like us can't do everything under one roof either well but in most cases what's been great about the evolution of this industry take healthcare as an example reason why we never would go near a hospital 10 years ago is because they needed they needed us to actually develop like their electronic medical records and patient portal systems and we were never going to get into that business well now here we are 10 years ago where those systems are so mature where we can comfortably say oh no we don't do that we're the website guys we could create we could create for you the most compelling public marketing website you'll ever have but we put a wall up there and don't touch that stuff in most cases they're fine with that and I would say the very honest candid approach has been appreciated by so many clients that so real quick story this big big hospital project out in Phoenix that we're working on right now they came to us a year ago they actually found us so inbound marketing can work they found us and they needed us to build their website and a very complex custom application we said sorry we can't we'd love to work with you we're gonna have to turn this down they came back to us not exaggerating begging us to do business with them please what do you mean you won't what do you mean you can't do this we really liked you guys and we said we just don't do that thing and they said okay please just do our website so they really love the honesty of saying we can't do that we want to focus on the good stuff the stuff we're good at yes bigger companies those are all additional services of ours so it's really just been I mean we literally again I probably limited on time here I mean this is a very interesting story and it's an extreme one but when I say just bigger companies and perception we had a technology company they're in the healthcare IT field up in Cambridge Massachusetts so we started talking to them a couple years ago and they needed a website nothing granted it's a complex website it's a thousand page website and they have a ton of content so the so from a word press perspective there's a lot of filtering of case studies and white papers and all that but this is not real complex application development they had a pretty big website we gave them a proposal for $150,000 okay they liked us so much the people did the contacts that we had there that my guy called me directly and he said bill it's not going to be enough you're not going to get this deal and and we would have made plenty of money on that deal I said okay well okay let me go back I literally went back to my proposal opened up word changed the document from $150,000 to $200,000 I did not change anything else in the proposal I delivered it he called me again he said build this isn't going to be enough you're not going to get this deal we ended up at close to $400,000 on this exact project that I had priced at $150,000 so it's not about what you're doing for people it's about talking to the right companies now again this is an extreme example this is a big company close to a billion dollars in the high tech field but it's perception they felt it should cost that much so we got it yeah we don't get a lot of that we were very lucky that we had him ma'am you had raised your hand in the back politely but we do it a lot we just we don't we at one point in time we used to refer to maybe some other firms that was too risky that could tarnish our brand if we referred them to someone we just simply say you know we start here and we wish we could help you but we just can't and again most people appreciate that honesty you know it's not easy though you do feel bad saying that yeah exactly yes sir so I'll say sometimes it's size of site just like a 50 page site versus an 800 page site sometimes it's functionality some very specific cool things that we're gonna have to build in for them that require a lot of custom programming sometimes again it's just perception of the company we have a pharmaceutical company we're working with right now again I hate to throw out these ridiculous figures because it sounds a little like I'm bragging these are 20 page websites for their for their drugs they have two drugs and they felt that that's supposed to cost $250,000 because they're a drug company we could have done them for $20,000 so it's crazy how just perception of a company and what something could cost when you're talking to the right companies it can be really crazy you know how much that impacts the pricing I'll be outside the room here it'll probably be easier I think at this point I'm being rushed up yeah I was just gonna ask you where you just told us how much is this how much are you gonna make off this drug right if they're gonna make $20 million out of that drug then you just say we haven't we used to do a little bit of customer lifetime value analysis and how many you'll need to get yeah they still we realize that that argument they still would say okay that's all nice we realize how we're gonna make from this but you're $20,000 the other guys 12 why you know so it really didn't matter how much we could convince them they'd get if they were convinced someone else could get that for them as well you know so it's really mostly about selling the value of us as opposed to what they were gonna get out of it if that makes sense yes thank you everybody I appreciate it thank you

The Tax-Man Giveth: Refunds, Savings, and Promoting Economic Security
|
The Tax-Man Giveth? Refunds, Savings, and Promoting Economic Security
In collaboration with the Center for Social Development
Millions of Americans are waiting for their big tax refund. Most have already spent the money before it arrives. What if there were a way to turn that moment upside down? What if we could get millions of Americans to apply their refunds to building financial security by paying down debt, saving for an emergency, or building a nest egg?
In 2013, Intuit, Inc. (the makers of TurboTax), the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis, and Duke University launched Refund to Savings, the largest intervention of its kind, to see if simple changes integrated into the tax filing process could help striving families set aside part of their refund for saving. The result? Almost $6 million saved by families earning less than $11,000 a year.
New America's Asset Building Program and the Center for Social Development hosted a discussion on key findings of the Refund to Savings experiment and explore how these lessons can inform broader policy efforts to help families build healthy balance sheets.

I'd like to welcome you here on this lovely morning. We've got some snow ambience outside, nothing too serious. I'm Reed Kramer. I'll welcome you here to the New America Foundation. And I direct our asset building program, which, among other things, is focused on incubating policy ideas to help aspiring families chart a path forward up the economic ladder. And today's event is focused on one promising pathway, which is tax time. The event's a collaboration with our colleagues at the Center for Social Development. And the event's entitled The Taxman Giveth, the question mark, refunds, savings, and promoting economic security. And I'll also let you in the audience know, and our friends online know, if you want to join the Twitter conversation, we're using hashtag tax time savings, and you can follow us at assetsnaf. At New America, we've been looking at a range of policy levers that can be pulled as part of the tax filing process for a number of years that can then trigger the savings process. Tax filing, as many of you might know, has some key ingredients that make it a potentially powerful moment to jumpstart the savings process and help families build up savings and assets over time. It has incentives like the earned income tax credit. It has support systems in place, like a network of organizations and private firms that are helping people file their taxes and maximize their refunds. And then it has the wonderful infrastructure of the IRS, powerful, pervasive infrastructure. So a lot is already there. And we also think, though, that it can do a lot more. There's a number of ideas that we've suggested to our policymakers, and they're considering. For instance, we could make sure that everyone has a bank account so that they have a place to save and conduct basic financial transactions. We can make sure that the incentives are meaningful and robust. We can also make sure that everyone that would benefit from filing their taxes would be able to do so. And then we can make sure that the defaults are all moving in the right direction so people end up in a place they want to be without having to think too much about it beforehand. And I think I could argue convincingly for all of these proposals. But some of you might want to see some evidence. People always ask for evidence. And that's fair enough. Of course, we don't always ask for evidence when we were designing our regressive tax code that rewards people for just moving money around. But anyway, evidence is pretty good. And perhaps some of you are in this room who want to see more. Well, you've come to the right place. Our colleagues at the Center for Social Development and Duke University have teamed with Intuit to test out how to jumpstart savings at tax time. And today we're going to hear about their efforts called refund to savings, R2S. It's the largest intervention of its kind. And the goal was to see if simple changes integrated into the tax filing process could help striving families set aside a part of their refunds to promote savings. As you know, for many people, filing taxes is a chore unless you're kind of game to see what Intuit has cooked up in their TurboTax software for the next year, which is a pretty amazing product for anyone that's worked with it. But if you're poor, you really get on the case pretty quick sometimes, because this might be the largest check you'll get all year. This tax season, it's estimated that 27 million families will file for the earned income tax credit. And that functions not just as a wage subsidy, but it generates substantial refunds for millions of low-income families. Unfortunately, many kind of spend their money before it even arrives. And we should ask, though, what if there was a way to turn that moment upside down to get people to save more of their refunds to increase their financial security by paying down their debt, saving for an emergency, or building up a nest egg? What if there's a way to leverage the scale of people that are engaged in this process and extend the benefit well beyond April 15th? So now, thanks to the enterprising people that are involved in the refund to savings effort, we've got some evidence here. One of the punchlines is $6 million has already been saved for families earning under $11,000 a year. It's pretty incredible results. And we're going to learn more about how they got there and what it means for policy going forward. I'll also say that this success is consistent with some other interventions that have been going on in the field, such as SaveUSA. This has been implemented in a number of cities where people have been able to open accounts and have their savings matched at tax time. It was based on work that we incubated here called the Savers Bonus. And today, in conjunction with this event, we're releasing a paper authored by my colleagues Rachel Black and Elliot Shure that apply the lessons from these experiences in the field and examine what the implications are for designing an effective federal policy and taking it to scale. We know there's a need for such a policy. There's billions of the dollars that are allocated through the tax filing system for people that are upper income, middle income, who are making deposits. None of that money is available, basically. Virtually none of that money reaches lower income households. And none of it is going to helping them build the basic flexible savings that we know is most valuable to them. So one option is to create something called a financial security credit, which is described in the paper and a legislative version of which was introduced by Representative Jose Serrano this summer. Jose Serrano from New York. It would give lower income people a chance to save for the purpose that best meets their needs. And it would be incentivized by a direct match. And if they didn't have a bank account already, they could open one right on the tax form. And experiences like R2S and SaveUSA make us think that there's real demand for such a policy and that it could work. So we're very fortunate to have a lineup today that can help us understand what happens when people are confronted by various prompts in the tax filing system, integrated into the Inuit software, and then what this means for future policy efforts. Their bios are all in your handouts or available on our website for those watching online. But let me just tell you briefly what the plan of action will be. First, we're going to hear from Phil Poirier, who's vice president of Intuit's consumer group. And in that role, he oversees a variety of government initiatives for their consumer tax and personal finance businesses. I can also tell you that a couple years ago, Phil was the starting quarterback for the Naval Academy with a couple of victories over their rival to his credit. And then Dan Ariely and Michael Greenstein-Weiss will tell us about the research efforts. And Dan is the James B. Duke professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. And Michael is a wonderful and longtime colleague of ours. She's now associate professor of the Gordon Warren Brown School of Social Work. And she's the associate director of the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis. And then afterwards, they're going to participate in a panel discussion here with a couple of ringers. The first ringer will be Amy Brown, who will moderate the session. She's a program officer at the Ford Foundation, focusing on providing financial services to lower income households. She's been a major force in supporting work that looks at how to make financial services more inclusive. It's a really important agenda that she's led at Ford. And then the other ringers are going to be Rorco Bryan and Ray Bushera. They're both alums of New America who've gone on to do great work elsewhere. Rorco Bryan is a senior policy advisor for consumer policy at the US Department of Treasury, where he focuses on financial access and savings. And I believe he's soon headed off to the University of Wisconsin, I guess via a post at Harvard or something like that. He's done great work. He was hired actually right after he got out of Harvard after he wrote his undergraduate thesis on asset limits in public assistance. And Ray Bushera hired him. Ray Bushera hired me too. He's the founder of the asset building program here at New America. He's an excellent mentor, a colleague, and a friend. He's now senior advisor and assistant vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, where he also directs the Center for Household Financial Stability. So they're all excellent resources and thoughtful people, and we're going to hear from them. So Phil, you first. Thank you. Good morning. My name's Phil Porrier. I'm with Intuit. Ray Bushera did not hire me. And I don't know where the Navy quarterback thing came from with the plant you have, because the only notoriety I got in the Washington Post was an article by David Dupree when I was compared to being slower than a ship in dry dock. But let's move on and talk about tax time savings. So Intuit tends to be known for its brands. Many people don't know about Intuit the company, but they are familiar with the products we have on the consumer front with Quicken and Turbo Tax and Mint, for example. And what we try to do is work very hard to understand the consumer and the customer. And we're very focused on the customer experience and deliver products to them or services that will enable them to be empowered and take control of their financial life. So when you think about what our goal as a company is with consumers, and then you think about tax time savings right off the bat and Reed made a number of these important points, tax time is a great opportunity for consumers because for many it's the single largest paycheck they get every year. And just last week, IRS announced that the average refund year to date is about $3,200. So that number will fluctuate a little bit. And it depends on different segments and what benefits they're entitled to, but it's still a big paycheck. But actually, when we think about the tax experience, we view it as being not just about the refund and certainly not just about the compliance aspect of taxes. But what the tax process really is is that one time of year where, in fact, for many Americans, the only time of year they really take stock of their entire financial picture. So it's all about how can we use that moment to its best advantage to empower consumers and help them have better financial lives. Now from an intuitive perspective, you might say, well, why is intuitive interested in this? I'm in the Turbo Tax business, which is our consumer group. And our primary goal and mission every year we have to hit the January filing season is we need to help people prepare and file their returns accurately, easily, and securely. So that's the primary focus that we have every year. But beyond that compliance element, there's something that we're very interested in, too, which is how can we help people make better use of their refunds? So one of the things we're finding is it seems to us, and I don't think this is going to be news, but increasingly, people are counting on that refund as part of their cash flow for the year. I mean, so for example, the IRS has done a great job over the years of like clockwork opening about mid-January, accepting electronic filed returns, and about 10 to 14 days later issuing refunds. And the refund predictability has been relatively high. In fact, one of the questions we get from our customers is my refund changed, could be higher, it could be lower, it must be indicative of I've made an error without an understanding of everything that goes into the calculation of the refund that might cause that to fluctuate. But the certainty of the delivery of the refund and the relative, certainly, of the amount of the refund has caused people to increasingly, they plan on that. They're making decisions at the end of the calendar counting on that refund. So one of our focuses is, okay, well, how do you help them stretch that refund? For example, we have an arrangement with Amazon where you can get 5 or 10% more on an Amazon purchase card, which when Amazon was only selling books, you might think of it being of limited utility, but if you go up to Amazon now, I mean, they're selling anything from books, to baby food, to clothing, so it actually is a pretty powerful opportunity for a consumer to stretch their dollars. But independent of stretching, as we know today, that Macaulay and Dan are gonna talk more about, it's also about savings, and how do you help them make the best use of that refund, whether it be pay down debt or increase their savings or whatever. And so there's a very real interest we have and how can we find out more about that process and the consumer behavior underneath it. Now the way we're enabling the project is that IRS has a program called FreeFile and under FreeFile it's an arrangement between the IRS and about 14 or 15 companies and nonprofits where tax software subject to certain conditions and restrictions and requirements are available for use on the IRS website or through the IRS website. And consumers who fall within the eligibility requirements can prepare their federal returns for free and for participating states in FreeFile, they can prepare their state return for free as well. The overall limit for the program is $58,000 and below, which covers about 70% of all taxpayers. And then each individual company sets its own eligibility requirements because there are caps on each company to encourage competition in the program. And so the Intuit program is all military $58,000 and below, all EITC recipients and all taxpayers under $30,000. And within our product that we offer in FreeFile, we call it the Freedom Edition, there you go through the process of entering your personal information, your income information, you answer questions around your life that helps us identify deductions or credits you might be entitled to and then you get to that moment at the very end where you've got a number of important decisions to make. Taxes are complicated, filing your taxes is actually relatively complicated. And so we try to make it easy to make a decision about how do you want to file your return, how do you want to receive your refund? And so when we talk about receiving the refund, that's about leveraging the split refund feature that IRS has and also receiving your refund via check or direct deposit. So we're very encouraging of electronic filing and direct deposit. But what McCall and Dan are going to talk more about is how we've intervened in that final section of how do you want to receive your refund to try and understand savings behavior and how consumers think about it and what behavioral economic prompts might encourage them to save. So that's my tee up. Dan is going to be up next, but one thing I'd like to do just briefly is say it's been such a pleasure working on this project. And the thing that's made it so much fun is working with Dan and working with McCall and her team at Washington University, which are really incredible folks. And when you get a chance to look inside the report, there are a number of folks in our development organization and our marketing teams that as we approach this calendar year, this filing season work long nights and weekends and they really are the folks who deserve the credit for the program. So with that, I'd like to turn it over to Dan. Sports. And so I want us to take a few minutes and think a little bit about money in general before we think about plans for how to help people save. So money is a great invention. There's no question about it, right? If you think about how society would look like without money, we would spend a tremendous amount of time bartering and we couldn't specialize, we couldn't save. So it's clearly important. But the fact that we could do with money so many different things also makes it incredibly difficult to think about money. So if we lived in a barter society and you had some broccoli and I had some chicken we wanted to trade, you would know how much chicken you want to trade for how much broccoli. You know, in English sometimes there's the expression that the hard decision is like picking apples and oranges. The reality is that picking apples and oranges is a very easy decision. You don't ever see anybody baffled by the fruit plate saying I have no idea which one I want. But figuring out whether an apple is worth $2 and 50 cents and so on, that's a tough decision. And why is it so difficult? It's because money can do so many different things that when you give up a particular amount of money you're not really sure what you're giving up. So the wonderful thing about money is we could do so many things with it. The difficult thing is that we could do so many things with it. Some time ago we went to a Toyota dealership and we asked people who were about to buy a car. We said, what would you give up if you go ahead and buy this new car today? And people had no answer. And we pushed them. We said, look, something has to give up. What would give up? And what was the most common response we got? If I buy a Toyota, I can't buy a Honda. So people were making a trade-off in the same timeframe, in the same category. But they were not saying I'm giving up two weeks of vacation for the next three years and 700 books and 61 letters. They were not doing an inter-temporal substitution across categories. And this is because money is so difficult to think about. And not only is money difficult to think about, we also make it harder to think about it with the advance of technology. Imagine you woke up every morning and I gave you just cash for today. This is it. This is all you have to spend today. Your trade-offs will be incredibly clear. You would understand that if you buy coffee, you can't take the bus and so on. If you gave you the money for the whole week, by Thursday you would realize the trade-offs, but Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, you might make some mistakes. If I gave you the money for a month, it would be more difficult. If I added student loans and credit cards and mortgages, now the question is what trade-offs are you really making? So that's the first difficult thing about money. Money is so good and it's a common good. We could do so many things with it so we don't really understand how to think about it. The second problem, of course, is there with saving, is that it's not just about money, it's also about now versus later. And now versus later is one of the most prevalent problems in society. And you could just reflect on your own experiences to think about all the cases in which we have all failed in making decisions about now versus later. So just as a raise of hands, how many people here in the last month have eaten more than you think you should? How many people in the last month have exercised less than you think you should? Two more questions. How many people here have ever texted while driving? Come on. A minute. And finally, how many people here have ever had unplanned, unprotected sex? Nobody. No, that's amazing. That's amazing. So for most of those things, we recognize that we make mistakes and money is one of those categories. If you see something now, you know exactly what you could get and you know exactly what you're giving up, whereas the goal in the future is incredibly unclear. So you look at all of these problems, the complexity of money, opportunity cost, and now versus later, and this is one of the hardest problems for people to deal with. And because of this, the idea that we could just teach people and they will make the right decision is just not going to work out. It's a very sad realization, but I think there's no escape from that. Actually, there was a recent meta-analysis that John Lynch and some of his team members did on all the research ever carried out on financial literacy and what effect these interventions had on actual outcomes, financial planning, savings, and so on. And the best they could figure out is the improvement was 6%. It went down over time and it was lower for people with lower SES. So we have to recognize that it's a really tough problem and the idea that we'll just tell people about it that's not going to work out. Okay, so what do we need to do? We need to think a little bit about the mechanism. We need to think a little bit about the environment and how we recreate the environment in a way that it would make it easier and simple and desirable for people to behave in the right way. And I'll give you the example of a toothpaste. So how many people here brush their teeth at least once a day? Just saying everybody. Do you think the toothpaste is an important part of this equation? And the interesting thing is the answer is yes and no. Toothpaste has basically no health outcomes. There's really no value, direct value to toothpaste. However, we brush our teeth because of toothpaste. What happened is that Procter and Gamble in their infinite wisdom convinced us that unless we feel minty fresh, something is wrong with us. So when you brush your teeth, you don't think, oh, I really want to have healthy teeth five years from now. You say, I want to be socially acceptable in the next 10 minutes, so let me consume some toothpaste. And how do I consume toothpaste? I brush my teeth. This is by the way why we brush and not floss. Flossing has no other benefits aside from the real benefit of flossing. And by the way, flossing is much better than brushing for health perspective. But people don't do it because it doesn't have this external element. So if you look and the reason to think about tooth brushing, it's one of the best human habits we've developed. There are very few of them. Tooth brushing is one of them. Wearing seat belt is one of them. And then reducing smoking from 40% to 20% is another one. But tooth brushing is really a tremendous success. But again, it's one of those cases when we're not doing the right behavior for the right reason because we care about our health. Five years from now, we're doing it for the wrong reason because we were convinced that we should consume toothpaste. So the same logic we should think about for financial savings. Just telling people you should say for the future, you should say for the future, that's a good thing to do, is unlikely to work out. But giving people different types of incentives, different types of reasons, different, think about adding all kinds of other motivations could help out. So before we move to R2S, I want to tell you a little bit about some projects that we're just starting underway and hopefully will be folded into this initiative at some point. So the first one is at the level of a lab experiment. So we don't have any real proof that it's working, but here is the idea. We get people to the lab and they basically work for a company for a while. So the experiment only lasts a few hours, but we simulate as if they worked there for a year. And in the beginning, we asked them how much of their salary they want to save. And the company is very generous. They offer a 10% match on the 401k and people can decide how much they save and the saving they're going to actually get much, much later. So they don't have that much of incentives too. It's a delayed event. And the average people basically say they want to save 4%. So what happened every simulated month, people put 4% in, the company put 4% in, the money goes to the 401k, and this continues for a few hours of the experiment and then a few weeks later, people get their 401k. That's condition one. Condition two starts in the same way, but the mechanism is slightly different. Every simulated month, the company puts in 10%, the person puts in as much as they committed to 4%, and then the company takes the 6% back. Now it's the same thing, right? The fact is that if you work for a company that matches 10% and you put 4%, you're living 6% on the table. The only problem is that in the regular setup, you don't see it. In this setup, you see it every month or in our case, every simulated month, you see the money goes into your account and being taken from your account. By the way, what we're doing in the experiment is strictly illegal. Companies cannot put money into employees' account and take it back, but you can think about versions like this that could work. The company could tell you the money is in escrow, waiting for you, see how much you want to take. Oh, sorry, we had to take something back. And by the way, in the second version of the experiment, very quickly, people go to maximum match, right? It's just too aversive to see the money coming in and going away. The second thing that we're doing is we start thinking about the piping of how joint accounts look like. So imagine two types of piping. One is we have two separate accounts, two individuals. Each of them get their salaries and then some money goes to a joint account to pay for rent and expenses and so on. That's one mechanism. Mechanism number two, money goes to a joint account and then goes to two separate accounts. By the way, how many people here have a significant other? How many of you have the first piping? Money goes to joint accounts and then to separate accounts and then to joint accounts? How many of you have this? How many of you have the other one? Money goes to a joint account and then to separate accounts? Yeah, so many of you are abstained. You might have different arrangements, but that's basically what we find. A third of the people have some other mechanism and one third have this and one third have that. But at least in the initial studies, which one of those do you think encourages higher savings? It's the one where the money first go to a joint account, where you think about the money jointly. It also turns out that it helps equality between the two wage earners because if you have inequality in how much money you make and you keep your money separately and you contribute to a joint pot, people actually contribute in a more unequal way than if the money first goes to a joint pot. Now, if you think about it, these are the little details of how you do the piping of accounts and this goes back to your comment from earlier. Shouldn't we just have an account, a banking account for everybody? Well, shouldn't we have multiple accounts that would actually and think about how the piping looks like and basically create the piping that would get people to behave better? Okay, so I spend most of my life doing lab experiments, little experiments, sometimes with real estate, sometimes we ask people what they do, sometimes we ask people to imagine. This project within two, it was particularly exciting for multiple reasons. First, it was going to be in a large scale and we were focusing on people that we could not really control very well, right? So in the lab, we have wonderful control over what people do. All of a sudden we don't have much control and we're trying to do a very cheap intervention. Again, when people come to the lab, it's expensive and we could do lots of things. This was going to be cheap, large-scale intervention. And Michal will tell you a lot about what we've learned, but we've learned that life is much more complex than the lab. I think that's one of the interesting lessons. We thought that people would save, for example, in savings accounts. Turns out life is much more complex. And to a large degree, we learned about how people really deal with this complexity of money and all kinds of tricks that people are using. And I think the next step for us would be to figure out what are some of the wisdom in what people do to manage their money and how do we build on that and what are some of the mistakes people make when they think about their money and how do we do that? The last thing I want to again repeat your comment is that tax time is really a golden opportunity. People are getting money, it's a big check. Often it's, some of it is not expected or at least there's some uncertainty about what they're getting and there's a feeling that they're getting back money from the government, which might create a particularly good opportunity to think about this money as separate from the rest of the money. And another thing we want to ask is whether we should try and encourage that. You know, when we started working with Intuit, the engineers at Intuit think that people should have zero money back from the government. Why would you lend money to the government at zero interest? Well, maybe there is a reason, right? Maybe people are using it as a self-control mechanism to force the future self to have some money. And if that's the case, maybe either we should increase that function or maybe we create some other function that allow people to have self-control. Okay, thank you very much, Michal. Okay, good morning everyone. I'm delighted to be here and I want to thank some of our friends at New America who made this event possible and worked so hard on pulling it all together. And of course I want to thank our great, great partnership with Intuit that really is, you know, and nothing was possible without it. And the leadership of Phil and everyone else on the team has been a great, great experience to work with. Some of our funders in the rooms, Ford and any Casey made that work even more possible and more resourceful. And of course the team members, it's not, just my name is there, there's no way to list all the million people who work on that, but I want to single out my team, including Dana Pernia, Blair Russell, Christa is here and Clinton Key who all work really, really hard on this initiative. So Phil started by talking to you a little bit about our partnership and how we brought the industry together with academia to kind of put this initiative and generate learning around saving a tax time and what we can do to increase saving a tax time. And then Dan brought you a little bit of the behavioral economics around saving a tax time and about our initiative. So what left for me to do is to tell you exactly what it is we have done, how we have been doing it and what is some of the early promising results we are seeing. So I will talk today about the result and the intervention that we have done in 2013 because this initiative is going for several years now but today I will be focusing on the 2013 intervention and the 2013 intervention included two key major components. The first one is a very, very large randomized control trial that we embedded into the TurboTax Freedom Edition. So we had some programming changes in the finishing file when we intervened at the golden moment trying to get people to save. We had a very large sample size of over half million household participants in the experiment. To be exact, it was 684,000, a little bit over that household who were part of this experiment in a randomized control trial setting. Another component to our intervention is that we follow up a sub-sample of these people who went to our experiment who filled the tax, the free file edition and we did a very detailed survey on their household finance. So very deep look on their household finance kind of a lengthy instrument and we have about 20,000 households taking this survey at the very end when they finish filling the taxes. But not only that, we had follow up with them six months later. So we were interested in kind of six months a longer kind of longer term aspect of evaluation and six months follow up. So we contacted 20,000 households again. We were able to get a retention rate of 47% which is quite large for a web survey and we were able to get 8,300 of these people to re-interview with us six months later. So this is basically our experiment. Some of you will be familiar with this website. So this is the TurboTax Freedom Edition. So to be eligible to participate in our experiment or to be part of the, you know, to participate in the Freedom File Edition you have to earn less than $31,000 in your adjusted income gross or be on active military duty and earn slightly more or qualified for a earned income tax credit. We developed our experiment building on the IRS tax form 8888. The field, that's a building field that's been working for a long time to create this form to allow people to split the refund between multiple accounts, hopefully saving and checking account. And that's what we were trying to get people to do to split the refund between a checking account and a saving account or a saving bond. So here is when people seeing their final refund. So that's the moment they know, okay, this is exactly how much I will be getting in my refund this year. That's the golden moment when we intervene, right? The money is yours, but not quite in your end yet. Like Dan, I really like to say. And that's when we introduced the prompt. So this is really like the screenshot from our intervention and we randomize it. Different groups receive different prompts. This is an example of one prompt and we ask them, do you have enough money for an emergency? A Harvard study found that most American could not come up with $2,000 for something unexpected. We connect, you stay prepared. So this is one example of our prompt. We also had a family prompt talking about your family and a future prompt asking people to, you know, think about their future and saving for the future. The other techniques, the other economics techniques we used is anchoring. Anchoring is a tendency of people to stay close or at a set suggested goal. So we kind of, you know, created goals for people, how much they should save from the refund. For some of the intervention group, we said you should save 25% of the refund. For other people, we said you should save 50% of the refund. Yet still for another group, we said you should save 75% of the refund. Now we not only made a suggestion for their amount, we also pre-populate the amount for them. So from the refund, we calculate how much is 25% and here you see it's already pre-populated. We already did a work. The amount is already there. All they need to do, and it's not that all, but all they need to do is to put the saving account information. So part of the refund could go into a saving or they need to choose a saving bond. For the people who didn't choose to split, we did final trick and we add them before they can push continue, they needed to push a bottom saying, I don't need to save. So make it a little bit more uncomfortable. So let me tell you a little bit about the people who participated in our experiment. We have quite low income population, quite poor population. You can see that the median household, annual household income is about $13,000 and it's well below the income cap of the Freedom Edition. The federal refund was quite modest with a median of 921, about 40% claim EATC and almost 70% were single. So there are three questions I want to answer today. Let me bring them all up here. Can be able economics techniques increase deposit saving account at tax time? So we're focusing on what happening immediately at the moment. Can we get more people to just deposit into either a saving account or deposit into a saving bond? Does the R2S intervention increase saving six months later? So with our household financial survey, we follow this participant and kind of try to look on a longer term impact of the intervention. And the last question I want to share with you is what factors are associated with savings? So the first question that I will focus is can be an economics technique increase deposit to saving tax time? I will share with you some of overall impact first and then show you some specific graphs. So in overall we found that we were able to increase the number of people who deposit to a saving account by 4800 additional people, additional people who deposit into a saving account. So we estimate that without this intervention, we had about this number of people left the depositing. We also estimate that it's translated to increase amount of deposit into a saving vehicle of about almost $6 million or $5.9 million more deposited into savings. So some of the action is coming from getting more people to split the refund. And this bar graph is a nice illustration also of our intervention just in general. So you can address the number of treatment, different treatment group we have and a control group. So we have one control group, people who just didn't get anything, didn't get a prompt or did not receive an anchoring, just went through the experiment, experienced regular. And that's who we compare to with our different treatment group. And we have, so that's in the green line, the blue bar graph are the different intervention groups. So it's different combination of different prompt and different anchoring, family prompt, the future prompt, emergency prompt and different suggested amount of savings. So one person will get, you know, you should save for your family and we suggest you save 50% of your refund. Another group will get, you should save for your future and you should save 25% of your refund. And as you can see here, while splitting is uncommon, is pretty relatively an uncommon thing still happening. It's about 1% of the people split. We were able to nearly double this a percent with our intervention and all the different treatment group are associated with about, you know, about 2.4% rate of splitting. Looking across the whole population, we estimate and, you know, we find that we increased their saving by about $30 when we, you know, include everyone, people who saved and people who don't save. So that's an illustration of, compared to the control group, how much the different intervention group are associated with depositing into a saving account. But when we zoom in and we just look on the splitters, the people who split and put it into a saving account or saving bond. And that does not include the people who put everything into saving. And it's not include the people who are saving in the checking account that we know from the household financial survey that that's about a third that defining themselves as saving at a checking account, still even six months later. We found a much larger impact and we see that our intervention is associated with between $200 and $300 increase in saving account across the different groups. So the next question I want to focus on, something that doesn't work right with the questions for me, so I apologize. It was supposed to zoom in on each question every time, but you can just follow me. So the second question we want to focus on is does the R2S intervention increase saving at six months later? So here we use a combination of, you know, all the people who went through this experiment and through the randomized control trial among the turbo tax and then using the data when we interview them immediately after and then when we interview them six months later. So this is kind of the people that we really follow on a longer term. So what we are finding is that people who participate in the treatment group, so people who were encouraged to save and both encouraged to either save 50% of the refund or like half of the refund or were encouraged to save 75% of the refund were 30% likely to still having, or chance still having part of the refund save six months later. So these people who were encouraged to save had a 30% chance of still having their part of the refund at the six months follow up. Compared to them, people who were not encouraged to save or the control group had 25% chance of still having the refund six months later. So there was a 5% point impact of the intervention. Now looking on the amount of saving, we found that people who received an anchor of 50% and were encouraged to save half of the refund were 2.6% more save at the six months follow up and people who were getting an anchoring of 75% had a 5% point more save at the six months follow up and that's control to the, compared to the control group. We, ah, something, I'm missing a slide. I think we don't have the right PowerPoint but there is one more slide and I will maybe, it's similar to this one but it's a really important one. I think we're using not the latest version so I apologize. But we looked on one more outcome with the six months or not six months follow up and we look on this statement whether people are certain that they can come up with $2,000 in a case of emergency. This is like a question that got a lot of attention. There were a lot of research recently around this like ability to come up with a $2,000 in a case of emergency. And we ask our sample whether at the six months follow up can they come up with a $2,000 in a case of emergency. This is not the right graph. It's similar result but it's even like larger result so it's not done look on the graph but it's the same ID. People who received a 75% prompt were 56% chance of saying yes, I can come up with $2,000. People who received a 50% or say, oh we're encouraged to save half of the refund said something like I think it's 52, 54% chance of still having the refund. But the control group who were not encouraged to save had a 44% chance saying that they can still come up with the refund six months later. So on that question we had a large like 12 percentage point difference between treatment. The most successful treatment intervention with high goal of saving compared to people who did not get any intervention in terms of how confident they are that they can come up with $2,000 in case of emergency. And again, this is not the right graph so I apologize, just believe me, follow what I'm saying. So the last question I will cover is what factors are associated with savings. And of course there are a lot of things that we find very, very interesting but giving time constraint and I already get my five minutes warning, I will focus only on a few factors. And this include the financial shocks that use of alternative financial services and assets limit. So first looking on financial shocks, we find that 66% of our sample have experienced at least one of the following shocks in the last six months including trips to the hospital, major vehicle repair, period of unemployment or legal fees, expenses that they had. I think it won't be surprising for you if I said that people who experienced these shocks were less likely to still have saving or to save the six months follow up. This is kind of large differences. A very interesting picture comes when we look on debt. So while secure debts such as card or home loans were not associated so much with saving six months later, having an unsecured debt such as medical debt or paid and loan debt were associated with much lower savings at the six months follow up. As can be expected, the use of alternative financial services such as cash checker and rent to owns, et cetera, were associated with much less savings at the six months follow up compared with people who did not use alternative financial services. And finally, we ask our participant to respond to a statement saying if I saved more, I would lose my government benefit. And what we're saying is that people say this is not at all like me are more likely to save and the six months follow up compared to people who say this is very much like me. I totally agree with the statement that if I saved more, I would lose my government benefit. So a quick summary. We find that our interest increased both the number and amount of people deposited into a saving account. We found this impact to stay for six months after we filed when we resurvey our participant in the experiment. We find that anchoring are more effective than prompt. It seems like the action is happening when we give people suggested amount and even pre-populating for them. So acting a little bit for the people. And we also find that financial shocks that and use of alternative financial services and asset limit might be associated with less savings. So again, we wanna acknowledge our funders or everyone who make it possible. And I also wanna tell you that we are just at the beginning of analyzing all our great data. There is so much and we just finished data collection of the follow-up survey in December. The six months follow-up from the 2013 tax time. So there is a lot more to come. So stay tuned. Thank you so much. All right, can our panel come on up? So thank you, Michal, for that terrific overview of some of the early findings from the research. As she said, there's a whole lot of data here, it's a big sample size, a very detailed tax information that they've gathered and also very detailed information from the follow-up surveys. So I think there's gonna be a lot more coming and a lot more lessons, but why don't we take some time now to talk about what those findings mean, right? We are doing this research in order to try to understand what families are thinking and doing at tax time, what some of their goals are, what they would like to be doing better or differently at tax time around saving and figure out ways through policy, through practice, that we can help people achieve those goals. And so Ford, of course, is thrilled to be a part of this project. It's been really fun. It's a great team to work with. One of the best things about being a funder is you get sort of early preview of a lot of this data and it's really great to be here today to be sharing it publicly for the first time. So I think the way we're gonna work, I'm gonna ask a couple of questions from our esteemed panelists and then we'll open it up to the audience so get your questions ready. And the folks who are watching on the live stream, I don't think we're taking your questions directly here, but there is a Twitter feed, so let's keep that conversation going as well. When I answer questions, I really don't care what people ask and answer the same way whatever I want to answer, so people can ask. So we may or may not actually respond to your question, but feel free to ask it. I'll take that for myself as well. But I think I won't start with you, Dan, in that case. I'm gonna start with Rourke, who is our Treasury official on our panel. And based on the findings that were presented this morning, what does that make you think of in terms of policy when you think of the kinds of things the Treasury is working on and thinking about how does this shape your thinking? What are the implications for what we're finding in this research for federal policy around tax time and savings? Sure, sure. Well, first I just wanna thank everyone for inviting me today and really applaud this wonderful collaboration between academia and Intuit here. Intuit, our office is actually working on a separate project with Intuit actually using the TurboTax platform to provide awareness for folks about income-based repayment options for student loans. And they've just been a wonderful partner in that collaboration. And I think it's just a really exciting platform to be thinking about these kind of large scale interventions. It's really clear that I think this work underscores the power and the potential of the tax time moment. Not only because of the sheer flow of funds that are kind of moving from Treasury back to households, but also because it's the time when people are really thinking about their finances and I think in a really kind of full picture kind of perspective. I think that this study also really highlights the potential of the split refund option. I think it's really interesting to think about going forward what lessons can we learn from this intervention about how can we increase utilization of the split refund? Are there people splitting on their own afterwards? And I think that's some of the information that you were able to collect in your follow-up survey which is really fantastic. It's interesting to think through how that Form 8888 is being viewed by people and is it something that we can, is it simply just increasing more awareness or how can we kind of connect the dots to actually make that tool most useful to people? In an broader kind of scope, what I really like about this project and where Dovetails nicely with some of the work we're doing at our Office of Treasury is trying to think through across government programs, how can we think about the leveraging of the disbursement of government payments to actually make people better off? So to increase savings, to increase financial capability. So one of the things that our office is excited about is we recently received funding through the most recent budget that was passed to actually start an innovation fund that's designed to test some of the ideas around leveraging government payments. So everything from tax refunds to we can also think of all the other payments that kind of flow through government. So child support payments, TANF, food stamps, you name it kind of, veterans benefits, social security, SSI. Almost every household receives some sort of payment that kind of, in some way, makes its way through the government and often that's transmitted hopefully to direct deposit or if not onto some form of a plastic card and that's pretty much where we leave it. And wouldn't it be nice if we can think about how to put in interventions such as this, so nudges towards savings, which I think would be really powerful, especially in a program like child support. Or when that's not possible, can we think of opportunities to attach kind of perhaps benefits payments with a match that with a personal financial management tool so help people be able to kind of spend the benefits over the course of the month. And so what I really like about this study is it's helping us to think bigger about where there are opportunities to leverage these kind of massive flows of funds, kind of through the government to households in smart ways to help people help themselves, help them kind of reach their own goals to savings or better money management or whatever it might be. So we're starting some work internally trying to kind of in the near term see where there might be strategic opportunities to start testing that, improving that concept. But I'm really excited, I think that even this study kind of is serving as a foundation to in the out years as we think of some of these kind of bigger demonstration efforts, we can really think about opening up kind of a lot of government programs to innovations like this. Great, I think that's really interesting. And it ties back I think to some of the things that Dan was talking about earlier around there being sort of two ways to think about intervening. There's kind of the messaging and how things are framed and set up, but there's also the plumbing and government has a big role in a lot of that plumbing. So that's some exciting opportunities there. I think I'm gonna turn to Ray now. So for those of you who know what Ray is doing now at the St. Louis Fed, he's thinking about household balance sheets, which is broader than savings, broader than tax time. And so I wonder from your perspective what your takeaways are and how this sort of helps you think about family balance sheets. Sure, thanks Amy. And I wanna thank Amy and the Ford Foundation for making it possible to hire Reed and Rourke and other great people and work with McCall. I'm not a grand seeker anymore, but nonetheless it's great to be working with you all here. Well, let me just give four brief takeaways from a kind of a balance sheet perspective. First is that I think we're right to think about the balance sheet. There's been a movement in our field from asset building to savings and assets to sort of the health of the overall balance sheet. This occurred in the last several years in response to the Great Recession where high levels of debt basically brought down families and brought the entire economy down. It's no accident that it was called a balance sheet recession. And so I think that's the proper framework. And especially in light of the finding that McCall highlighted about the high levels of unsecured debt in particular being associated with low levels of savings and the finding which I'll say a little bit more about in a minute that when asked what people wanted to do with their refunds, the highest percentage actually said to repay debts. So it's great that R2S is having these findings which I think cooperates confirms that it's proper to think about the entire balance sheet, the health of the entire balance sheet. Secondly, there's an enormous financial inclusion opportunity and the financial inclusion from a balance sheet perspective is the it's a sine qua non of a healthy balance sheet. You can forget about the rest of the balance sheet if you don't have quality financial services, quality products at the right moment under the right conditions. So forget about the debt part, forget about the savings and wealth accumulation part, forget about the net worth. If you don't have financial inclusion you're not gonna get any of that. And McCall didn't mention it, she didn't have time but among the unbanked in the survey, there was enormous interest in new checking accounts, new savings accounts and prepaid cards. And I think anything we can do to leverage that interest through R2S is a fabulous opportunity. And the scale here is potential probably nothing more, nothing would move financial inclusion along further than if we could open up tax accounts right at tax time. And if we can move in that direction in R2S informed said I think that's an enormous benefit for our efforts to strengthen balance sheets. Third, we're learning from the US financial diaries project from Pew from our own research at the St. Louis Fed that it's primarily financial stability that families want more so than economic mobility. I think we've all thought that moving up in America is the main thing, it drives America. And I don't think that's really gone away but what's clear from many of the findings from these different research efforts is that the vast majority of families want stability over mobility. And very interestingly, savings is critical to achieving both the stability and mobility. When families have stability, they're more likely to think about mobility to have the money to make investments in mobility. With emergency savings in particular, they can manage financial emergencies, economic shocks much better than they could have. So it's this nexus of stability and mobility that I think is really very interesting. And R2S clearly has an opportunity by generating at least at this point, shorter term savings to help families achieve the stability that they really want and keep open the possibility of mobility in the future. So I think that's really very encouraging. The final thing I'll mention, which is not directly related to balance sheets, but like RORC, I think efforts to improve the uptake of Form 8888 is just critical. The finding that R2S seems to nearly have doubled the number of people who save is really very powerful, but the fact that only 1.3% of people split in the first place. An idea that we've been floating around is could you somehow make Form 8888 the default screen so that people don't have to choose to split first? Could the screen that they see be Form 8888 so that the choice is not whether or not to split but simply how to allocate your refund? So I think we should think about defaults at a different level as well in terms of the IRS process because the effects are quite strong when people do decide to split, they're very powerful, but how can we get more people to split in the first place? Yeah, I think you're reinforcing certainly the fact that there are a lot of lessons here and a lot of takeaways and a lot of places that we can go from here and thinking about policy alternatives and ways to help people achieve their goals. I think it's also just really interesting in some ways this was a narrow intervention. It was focused on getting people to put more of their tax, more people and put more of their tax refund into savings. And what it has opened up though, once you start talking to folks and hearing what they're doing in their lives, it's opened up this broader balance sheet conversation with so many folks focused on paying down debt. I was astonished at the, if you look in the report that was, I think the full thing was available outside, the percent of people, it was like a third of people who used their tax refund to pay down debt. And in fact, when they asked people right after the, right when they finished their taxes, how much are you planning to use to pay down debt? They said about 25%. And then when you ask people six months later, you would think that they're being optimistic in their intentions, but in fact, they used more of it to pay down debt than they had planned to. So clearly, and this is something we're learning from the financial diaries research as well. And if you're not familiar with that, check it out. It's US financial diaries being done by the folks at NYU Wagner School. And I think another policy implication is could Treasury look a little more into the option of paying down debts directly at tax time? But there's a lot of psychology and culture that surrounding savings and debt, both. And they're competing, I think, in people's daily lives. People wanna save, they know savings is important, but the debt is hanging over them and it makes them feel really stressed. And it may be there are things we can do to help people sort of in figuring that out. I wanna get back to Phil. So you've done taxes for a while, you've been into it for a while. You know a lot about just from experience about tax time and what people are doing. And I just wonder what from you, seeing this research, did anything surprise you? Were there things that you said, oh, I didn't realize that that was sort of how people were thinking or acting? I think the surprise I had was in two areas and then I think there's kind of a diamond in the rough here. But one area was the effect that the anchors had. And not even just in 2013, but in 2012, I think we had 25% and 75% anchors. And as we were talking about it, I was saying, well, let's 25 and 35. And Dan, of course, being pretty reserved, immediately said, well, how about 90 or whatever? But we pushed the 25 and 75 and the amount saved. I mean, it made a huge difference. So that was one surprise to me as the extent or the full impact it had. On the flip side of the coin, the thing that was also surprising to me was the split rate. Because I thought, we'll put in these prompts and I'm sure the split rate will go to, I don't know what the right number is, but I figured 10%, 15%, whatever. And although it's statistically significant, it doubled, but it didn't go to 10% or 15%. And so I think the kind of the diamond in the rough here is what we're learning from the Household Financial Survey because I think what's really important for us to do and what we try to do it and to it is listen to what the consumer's telling you. I mean, you may believe they should be doing something different, but they understand their lives and these are the decisions they're making. That doesn't mean they can't make a better decision or a different decision, but what they're telling you is very important. And so I think poking at what is it that will cause people to save more in whatever way they choose, whether that's take it into their main account and then use their online banking system to split out to different accounts or whether it's to use the split refund and find ways to make that more seamless. All those things I think we need to be open to and not be biased towards a particular approach, but be open to the learnings. And that's really, so in that respect, the Household Financial Survey is a real eye opener. Great, so I wanna open it up to the audience, but I just wanna end, I wanna give Michal and Dana chance given that there's so much data here and there's so, I mean, just in that brief presentation you raised a dozen or more different questions, possibilities, ideas. If you were, and I'm sure everyone who's here and everyone who's watching the live feed is gonna stay hooked on this and follow the results as they come out. But if you were gonna give people sort of one or two big takeaways today that they should go back to their policy thinking lives to try to sort of mull on and use and do something with, what would you pull out? So I will start with, we need to behave for people, behave on economics. I think what we have learned by the prompt and the anchoring is the easier we made it. So prompt didn't make a lot of impact. We tried to get them to think about their family, to think about the future, to be, you know, to do the right things, but I don't think we had as much impact as once we intervened for them. We calculated them out, we told them what it is they need to do. We pre-populated it, we made it easy. We kind of, so it was, we didn't fully opt them out and we didn't fully like throw them into a saving account but we helped them gather and we were a lot more successful. So, you know, we need to still finding ways and an institution to do things that make it easier, that kind of do the work for people, that kind of do it more automatically. So I think that's where the field, that's where we will be able to make impact and what else can we do to make that? Yeah, and I would echo that as well. Now, we try to do things easier but what's so interesting about the survey is that the demand, the desire for savings is really incredible, saving and debt repayment. These are not people who don't want to do it. There's really a large number of people who really want help in doing it. We thought we would help them a lot but we didn't help them enough. So you think about the extra step of having another account, turns out that's a big barrier. You know, people put money in savings as a way to think about money in checking as a way to think about savings because they don't have a savings account. So the demand side, I think, is there ready? And by the way, when we, in the pre-survey we did, when we asked people about pre-commitment devices, people were really interested in pre-commitment devices and particularly the people with the lowest income of this low income group were interested in that. So I think that for me the realization is that we have high demand and we're not making it easy enough for people to actually act on it and that's why I think, you know, we need to figure out how we open accounts for people. How do we make it even easier? We thought we made it much easier. It's not even close to being easy enough. Just to add on that, 62% of our population said they want to save. So at the tax time, at the moment going, we ask people in the House of Financial Survey, do you want to save your refund? 62% say they're planning to send the refund. This is a lot of people and, you know. And just on the point of making it easy, the sort of the flip side of that is how easy it is to get derailed and this is my favorite story from the process of doing this at one of our early meetings with Intuit. They were talking about what we could do on the tax form and how to make it work and one of the things, the sort of insider Intuit information that they said that just sort of blew me away and it has stuck in my mind is if you've ever done TurboTax online, you know, most of it is sort of clicking with your mouse, click here, click here. They said that if people have to go from clicking their mouse to using the keyboard, just that letting go of the mouse and moving their hands to the keyboard, they lose people. They don't complete the tax return, they just, they give up. And that to me is astonishing how if that small of a thing can be a barrier, then it's just, it's so easy for people to get derailed and I think it sort of puts a lot more emphasis on the idea of what it really means to make it easy for people. All right, audience, raise your hand high and a couple of ground rules. Please wait till the mic is in your hand to speak so the folks on the web can hear you. Please say your name and affiliation and we're gonna make an attempt to keep these two questions for the panel as opposed to statements or fresh ideas. Okay, yes my friend. Good morning, Anthony Santiago, National League of Cities. I have a clarifying question and then a follow up on figure 15 where you have the follow up survey six months later, the percentage of those who still had savings versus who didn't. The number is three times greater for those who self-identified with this loss of benefits, this public benefits. So is the assumption that those who didn't save at all had this fear, this identification of loss of benefits and then as, you know, what are you thinking in terms of innovation or what can be done to kind of address this? Because it seems rather stark. So this is not causality, this is association, you know, we didn't intervene, but we ask people respond to this statement and then we knew whether they have savings or not or we made, you know, this correlation and we do find that assets limit seems to be a barrier and we know that from other research as well. I think Rok did his dissertation on thesis on that, right? That's what this is. We know that and I think there is a clear implication, policy implication that something need to be done on asset limit, they need to be reduced, they need to be removed, they need to, they are serving as disincentives. That's my takeaway. Great. In the back, there's a hand. Thank you, Bill Gale at the Brookings Institution. Great presentations all around. I had a question for Ray, actually. It's nice to see you back in DC. You were talking about the relationship between financial security and economic mobility and I couldn't tell if you were trying to sort of reformulate the relative importance of the two or whether you were sort of stating what I thought was the common view which is that financial security is sort of a necessary but not a sufficient condition for economic mobility because without financial security it's eventually you'll lose your job or you'll lose your health insurance or you'll get sick or something will happen to knock you off the rails. So I was just curious to ask you to elaborate whether you were somehow trying to reformulate the balance saying that we should pay more attention to one less attention to the other or if you were saying the usual thing I thought we all said but saying it in a different way. I don't think I'm out to reformulate anything. I'm just struck by the high percentage of people who prioritize stability over mobility and the numbers seem a lot higher than they used to which I think is a reflection of the lingering effects of the recession, structural changes in the economy, insights from the financial diaries project, new research coming out from Pew and others that the emphasis I think needs to shift a little bit more towards stability than it had in the past rather than just thinking American dream, getting a home, saving for college, retirement. I think we've put a lot of emphasis on that and I don't ever wanna let go of that but I think that we need to pay more attention to stability if we want mobility than I think we had to in the past. Great question. I saw another hand. Yes, that's where I saw it. Hi, Jake Hassel's work from Senator Charles Schumer's office, really enjoyed the presentations. I think it's a great study. So as you guys have acknowledged, you've got I think really substantial effects here but from a very low baseline of people who are likely to save. What I'm wondering is what would this look like year over year? So it depends, it is a small effect when you look at the number of people who split but lots of people are saving in other ways, right? So people think there's a question of what looks like splitting to us and what looks like splitting to people. Right, so they're doing it through another. They're doing it in checking. Well, they decide you had enough time, I guess. Yeah. But it's true, it's very depressing to look at that number but people are just splitting in odd ways and the question is why are we not getting them to split in the ways we think are better for them. So, but the question I was getting to was do you think year over year, would this cumulatively reach more people? Do you think that two or 3% would kind of snowball or are you sort of getting the people that are gonna opt into this on the first wave and the people that aren't doing it are just gonna be more difficult to get to? Can I speculate? So it's easy to speculate about future data. So first of all, I look at the number of people who think that they are saving and then I look at the pent up demand, the number of people who say they want to save and these are big numbers and the question of course is how do we get that pent up demand to be part of this process and whether they could do an official split between checking and savings or they don't have a saving account and they need to think about internal splitting. I think there is clearly the pent up demand for doing more of that and the question is how do we get that? Another important question is lots of people have plans for what they're going to do with this money. So another question is when do you get those people? So we think the tax time is a good time but if you planned on every dollar of what you're getting it's no longer a good time. So another part of this is to say should we at that time remind people that this is a good saving opportunity and ask them if they want to withhold more of their income for the following year so that the following year they could participate in that. So I think there are lots of barriers there and for me it was really surprising I think how much demand there is and how big the barriers are and how we really need to think in a very different timeframe. So the people who are using a third of their refund to pay down debt, that's great, right? Can we help them somehow doing it the more efficient quicker way? I think there's a tremendous amount of opportunities. I don't think it's limited to the small number. I think that just the way we're formulating it right now is incompatible with the way people have their finances set up. And just to add on that, we totally see that in the House of Financial Survey. So people who define themselves that they were savers and are still six months later having the saving we ask them, so how did you save? A third said they saved in their checking account and still have it. 66% said they saved in the saving account and they moved by themself after. So I think part of it is also how we decided to define success in our intervention or the outcome which is depositing into a saving account at that exact moment and not like the day after you get it or a month after you get it. I think we also honestly we kind of reduced the impact might be reducing the impact of intervention just because of how we're focusing on measuring but it's also bringing the larger discussion that we'll be having, continue having and thinking about future years. Can we open account next time? Can we make it easier? What else can we do to get them to put it in the saving account? What can we do to people who don't have a second of account to open a saving account? So there is so much that we have learned and so much more now that we are excited to be thinking about and address that. I think the other thing to remember is that this is a relatively low-touch, low-cost intervention with the potential for scale because it's in the tax system and we have scale in the intuit because a million people use it every year but the tax system is at scale nationally and so if we can double the number of people who save and have them save 30% more and if we can fine tune this a little and maybe quadruple it, it might be still small from the right in total as a percent of the population but if you scale it across everyone who files taxes it could make a huge impact on the national balance sheet. And so thinking about even those small fine tune ideas can, especially if we see that they have real impact on people's lives, right? If they're able to keep those savings and if those savings actually help them deal with financial emergencies and be able to start thinking about longer-term savings then that could really be impactful even if it sort of stays at a relatively modest level. I mean, I would just add to Amy that it's interesting how we've come to this realization that you don't always need new money like new match money to generate new savings and for years the field thought that if you didn't have a match people wouldn't save and in fact we're learning that the match may be important for other reasons in accumulation perspective and equity perspective but from a savings perspective there's a lot you can do without actually the government spending money and that's important in this fiscal environment. Amy, can I just follow up on Macaulay's comment about success metrics, it really is important. So separating the what from the how. So the what we're trying to accomplish is savings. Splitting is a how. And so splitting is one how, how do you optimize that but there's lots of other things and so that's why I go back to kind of the hidden insights. So how many people in the room have ever used a post-it? I mean, I use post-its, it's a great product. It's a failed product. Post-its came about because 3M was trying to create an adhesive and it didn't work. It was tacky but it didn't really work as intended and then all of a sudden the engineer who was developing it or the scientist realized huh, it works pretty good. So I think what we have to keep doing is we're not gonna give up on the split. We have to look for those hidden insights. We gotta find the post-it. And the consumers and the household financial survey and everything else I think will help us uncover what those opportunities are at tax time. Not only in the savings area but what other financial literacy or financial capability opportunities are there to build off that? Because I think we're at the very beginning and I think five or 10 years from now will have a much different point of view about what the opportunities are. I think we have time for one last question. Do we have one? All right, to be continued. Thank you everybody for coming. Thank you so much to all our panelists and thank you to the folks at New America for pulling this all together. It's been a really terrific event. Have a great day.

This seems dealt with a lot of injuries this year, but when you're having to replace a guy like Derek, what's maybe the biggest challenge for the rest of the team? Yeah, Derek's a guy who's hard to replace. He's done it multiple years now. We've kind of got a rhythm with him, knowing how he hits runs and stuff. So it's definitely some learning curve. And we decided as offense line, we got to keep grinding and just make this run game come alive. Then how much time does it take to really get in a cohesive group when you've got a couple running backs ever so played out there? Hopefully two weeks. Yeah, Adrian's done it for a while. And Forman's been here before. So the more reps you can get together, the more runs you can get called in a game, the more groove you can get into. So it comes with the game and in practice reps. So we've got to go out there and make the practice reps count when we have them so we get those looks and make those guys feel comfortable. How would you assess how you guys blocked in the running game on Sunday night? And how do you look forward to this week with that? Yeah, we can always clean up some blocks, landmarks, and stuff like that. We always can be better on it. This week, Sane's got a really good friend. He's probably one of the better defensive will face this year. So we know our task is upon us. And we got to go out there and be physical and execute and get in third and short. Ben, given your team's record where you are now in your conference, a lot of national people are picking up on it and saying, hey, we've got to start playing attention to the dykes now. Is that something you guys talk about, think about, worry about, anything? No, it was one game at a time. And we're just trying to win the next one. And the Saints have been good. They've beat a lot of quality teams, and they've got one of the best defenses in the league. And we know we've got a big task as an offensive line and an offense to come out there and perform, because if you don't, they can embarrass you. What does it take you so well to run defense to be ranked number one in the league? Yeah, they're big. They're physical. They play really hard. They've got a group of guys who they can tell they've played together, and they fit their gaps well, and they know what they're doing on defense. So they're able to play fast and aggressive. And you may have been touching on this when I came up. Three different back. When it's Derrick, and you know it's Derrick, 25, 30 times a game, how much different is the transition to maybe potentially using three different guys and it could switch from play to play? Yeah, everybody has their style, and you knew what you kind of had in Derrick. You knew if it wasn't going good, it could clean up during the game, because he was getting a groove. But with these guys we've had for him, we know how he runs his style. Getting AP is a guy who's there every day. He's a great locker room guy who's giving it all. So we just got to clean some stuff up for him to give him some good lucks and give him some reads for him. So we got to be better on the O-line and clean up some stuff for him.

Mm-mm, we're creating the song, Rick. Do it. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. It is what your mom said. What else made those clapping noises? Hey! JUSH! Fracture scene in some court. I'm offended. Magumbo. Gushua. I'm with Magumbo. Follow us where? Twitter. Insta. Up your butt. Insta butt. And subscribe if you have not, please. Thank you so much. The new thing for people with flat butts. Should I wrap it on? Press the button. Today we've got Vidyut Jamwal. Okay. Answers most search questions. So obviously he's the action star that we've seen a lot about. And he's done a lot of the stuff of, like, wow, how did he do that? One of the top 10 martial artists I believe people said in the world. We've seen a lot of stuff that he's incredibly impressed. I also follow him on Instagram and Twitter. So he posts a lot about other people doing, like... Yeah, because he just loves us. Yeah. It adds to this whole thing. So let's get into this. Vaan. All my favorite Jambalians, my Sanke family and my family across the globe, I've been very busy with my promotions for Sanak. I've gone completely Sanke. So I decided I should do something that I normally don't do. So I'll be answering questions about me. Is Vidyut Jamwal amongst the world's biggest action heroes? Biggest in terms of frame size, I think it's rock. Rock. I'm happy I'm a part of this place. I feel very proud because there's somebody from India. Is Vidyut Jamwal among the top 10 martial artists in the world? In terms of martial arts, there would be a lot of other people in reality because the people who really fight in the rings, they could also be in the list. But amongst the movie stars, yes, I am. Is Vidyut Jamwal one of the top people? You don't want to mess with. I'm not in the list. But if I had to make a list, it would be, is Vidyut Jamwal one of the top 10 people you should be friends with? Yes. Because if you're my friend, nobody will mess with you. Vidyut Jamwal been awarded by Jackie Chan. Normally in India we do this. Jackie Chan is God. I don't know. Apart from the award, for me, it was an honour to meet him. When you hug him, you just, you make divine soup. Yes. I was happy to meet him and being awarded by him. Can Vidyut Jamwal run on water? Yes, it looks like if I'm running on water, but it's just agility and a lot of training. If you do that, you will run on water and on fire too. The next one is, does Vidyut Jamwal choreograph his own stunts and storms? Now that's my favourite part. I used to be one of the bad guys in movies and I used to watch the leading men perform action scenes and I thought if I was that person, I would do this. So when I got a chance, I started enjoying just being part of the direction of the choreography. Yes, I do. So how many types of push-ups can Vidyut Jamwal do? 30 or 40. I don't have a number, but if you can do just one push-up like the typical then you can try the next one on your fingers and then you can try the next one on your knuckles. Then you can try the next one inverted like this, like this. Then you can go on your elbows and do a push-up. So I don't know how many, but you can do a lot of them. Everybody. Next is how many hours does Vidyut Jamwal train in a day? If it's physical, it's most of the times. Like if I'm sitting somewhere, I make sure that I sit in a particular way. If I'm standing, I make sure that I'm aware of how I'm standing. So it could be all the time. But if it's only about lifting dumbbells and all, like once in a week, twice in a week, whenever I can. How many types of punches can Vidyut Jamwal deliver? Who's going to ask this question? Bruce Lee has said once that if you can do just one kick a thousand times, you could be a master in it, or ten thousand times. Similarly, how many types doesn't matter? Your body is a weapon. So for you, punch would be just this. For me, a punch is somebody in front of you, the elbow is a punch. It could be here, it could be here, here, here. Your whole body is a weapon. So as many types that exist, we can all do so many. There's no number to it. What is Vidyut Jamwal's favourite oil chicken? I can eat anything and everything. Right on. There's no such thing as favourite. It depends. I listen to my body. It depends on where I am, what state of mind am I in, the kind of body I want to develop. It keeps changing. When is Vidyut Jamwal getting married very soon? I think everybody should get married. Hopefully soon. Don't know the date, because I don't like to plan. Divine plans, everything. So soon. The next question is, when will Vidyut Jamwal stop reading these questions? Never. You ask me and I'll give you an answer. Thank you so much and watch my movie, Sonic, only on Disney Plus Hot Star. He seems like such a sweet guy. He's like very genuine. Yeah, obviously we've seen that. You could tell he's so passionate about martial arts and other kind of like, I don't know if it works. Fitness in general. Yeah, just fitness in general. But the fact that he seems like a really nice person. Wonderful to see. The thing I like about the little we've been exposed to him as well is that all of the things that he does that are these physical feats of prowess that very few people on earth can do, he almost always says something about you can do this too. I think it really matters a lot to him that he's not seen as some kind of elevated icon that nothing can be attained to and that he's inspiring other people to you can do what I can do, which a lot of the times, no one's gonna be able to do what he can do. But there are some things that he does and I really love that about him. The niceness, the sweetness, genuineness and clearly his desire to motivate people. Yeah, yeah. I would love to be able to talk to him. He seems like a really nice guy. Also, we should probably get to some of his films at some point. Yeah, really. He's like an action star. I would love to see obviously his action films. Really would like that. So I know Commando, they have a bunch of Commando's, but Commando's the one I know about. You guys can tell us what sort of his film should be the first film. I think we haven't seen anything. No, and we could do something like we don't need a whole month dedicated to it, but we do like action week. Yeah. You know, where we just watch three films that week that are just like action. Three big blockbuster action films that you've been waiting for us to see from people like this who we've yet to see, or like a movie that you're like, why haven't you seen Tiger Shroff's Fill in the Blank? Yeah, exactly. Anyways, well, let us know and other videot films. Videot? Videot, yeah. Videot? Yeah, videot. Making Chopra nuts on the crack. Videos that we can react to down below.

A short animation on the benefits of leaving grass to grow over the summer

You may notice, some of your grassy areas and verges will be left to grow over the summer. There is a reason. Long, meadow-like grass is better for wildlife, and nature is good for our health and well-being. In Wales, one in six species is at risk of extinction. We need to act now to save them. It's for them to protect and support Wales' wildlife.

Photography is all about capturing light. A camera captures the light that enters through the lens, using a sensor to digitise the information and create a photograph. Digital SLR cameras have a whole range of features, lenses and accessories to change and optimise the light that goes into the camera. This video looks at ISO, which refers to the sensitivity of the digital sensor. The vast array of dials and settings you get on a good camera can be quite daunting at first. In fact, most people start on the green square setting that gives almost full automatic function to the camera. However, to get the best out of a camera and be truly creative, it's best to take some time and understand how to use some of the manual functions. This will greatly affect the outcome of a photo to suit whatever your creative needs. To switch your camera to manual mode, simply turn the dial to M. ISO is essentially the sensitivity of the sensor that captures and records light going into the camera. You can adjust the sensor sensitivity to capture more or less light depending on how much is available to you. For low light or dark situations, you want the ISO to make the sensor much more sensitive. This will allow it to capture as much light as possible to compensate for the lack of light available. So let's take a look at the ISO sensitivity scale to understand what level we might need. A low ISO between 100 and 400 is best used when the surrounding light is bright. A mid ISO between 800 and 3200 comes into play for indoors or when the weather is overcast, for example, and the light is poor. A high ISO between 6400 and 51200 is what you'll need for low light photography. This is where the sensor is at its most sensitive and will amplify the light to compensate for the lack of light. Ideally, you want to keep the ISO number as low as possible as this will give you the best image quality. When increasing your ISO, it is important to note that images can have more noise or grain than images captured at lower ISO. As you can see here, selecting higher ISO numbers increases the sensitivity of the sensor making the photo brighter. The higher the camera specification in the Canon camera range, the higher the ISO scale. For example, most entry-level digital SLRs go up to 25600 ISO. The more advanced cameras can go to 51200 ISO and higher. There are three fundamental factors that are important for every photographer to understand. All of which affect the amount of light that goes into the camera and how the camera performs. These are one, the aperture, two, the ISO number, and three, the shutter speed. They all work in tandem with each other and are therefore often referred to as the exposure triangle. We recommend you take a look at our separate videos that go into more detail about aperture and shutter speed.

three bars up, made of those breakaway costs all right so i don't see butcher running away with it like before so if i definitely made an adjustment i don't know what racer tell him but he definitely tell him something i don't know oh that can be a punish can't be okay can't be how nice break and he lands a throw of his own oh nice faked him out with that one oh the lows are working now nice start excellent start here 28% on deck oh that throw is going to whip nice duck oh that should have been a punish yeah definitely no punish there unfortunately and a little trade there getting the break immediately i agree keep your health yeah i mean it's better to lose the bar than lose your health right yep going low i realized butcher is getting hit by more of those balls yeah before he was dealing with the lows if it is answering guys if it is definitely answering guys one one trying to fight back i mean he's he's three games late but better late than better late than never indeed nice start by butcher getting in a throw oh nice jump no converse against shadow kick uh uh uh uh yeah um um um um 33% in the corner no if that though breaking out of the corner excellent work finally getting to hit this combo no no somewhat somewhat going for the projectile game nice blocks nice blocks bringing in conglow to get that projectile off his own duck ducking that one shadow kick there and butcher takes the first throw i mean what a story this would be butcher getting to to to kick the guy who sent him to lose us out of the tournament and then winning the grand finals that would be a story not definitely it's not one into the special move here sorry to keep it same goes though all right okay uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh excellent work by butcher and we're in the corner now oh my god going with that one he blocks but there's no cameo oh i tell you these breaks are savings lives i think he knows yeah resource management is a big part of the game and he does that quite well speaking of breaks all right both of them are in the danger zone right though does he no no meter burn from the throw oh he doesn't have the meter to meet butcher two one guys butcher is on tournament point butcher is on tournament point right now all right so we go into what could be the final match unless evad manages to pull it out but butcher is the one starting with the brutal gameplay nice work there to get out of the corner by evad love that butcher wants you indeed now the question is can evad go through the blender and survive going to the old faithful oh no only a throw though could have been worse yeah could have been a bigger punish uh uh uh uh yes forty seven percent we haven't really been seeing that kind of damage coming from evad this could be the last round this could be the last round starting strong nice break i mean yeah this is the time when you want to take as little damage as possible butcher dealing with that quite well you saw him getting the distance there just now he was ready they didn't capitalize on that as well as he could have unfortunately had to hit i am this is looking terrible for evad oh oh oh he's against the wall oh butcher no that was that was three there was a little bit of confusion there but that was definitely three that's three that was three it was that fast it was that fast that was no no evad won a match evad won a match right that was three it was that fast so a little bit of confusion there but yeah consistent right through consistent damage consistent pressure definitely all right so what's your name i'm all right so they're doing some verification in the meantime whoa what a set what a set guys yo butcher woke up because i'm not going to lie like i know butcher is a great player right i know butcher is an amazing player but at the end of the day at the start of the tournament especially when he was up against animaru he really wasn't looking that strong yeah exactly yeah but i think he has to take a moment to you know revitalize went to do a hyper man got chopped some meat and come back i don't know what he did and came back as a brand new person all the way back so i think we're doing some verification guys but i i i think listen i'm pretty sure that was three i am pretty sure that was three he just won six matches that man that man just watched it won six matches it is if he did win one i mean butcher took the whole second but it was a pretty consistent yeah because because i think in the second set they went one one yeah something i believe in the second set they went one one that's definitely three it was called butcher just ran away exactly i love the action the players came out strong yeah and we want to say thanks again to k design for the beautiful gift baskets going to the first second and third players thank you to redbull as well for keeping us hydrated and energized um those showcasing thing and it was really good i think you had the energy and you did really great thank you thank you thank you definitely look at part two thank you yeah man definitely and i mean you did you did an excellent job yourself because um a big part of it is that you know yes you have to bring the play by play which is what i do but then there's also an element of you know match up knowledge technical knowledge and so and you really bring that to the table so definitely dig up yourself our verification is still underway yes guys the application is still underway so really great tournament but guys as you know fusion core is hosting tournaments all the time so i can definitely look forward for the next uh tournament that will be held at fusion core yeah as a matter of fact the uh the street fighter qualifier that led to the grand final was hosted at fusion core before they moved location but now we're at land level plaza on the top floor yeah so guys come on come and check out the game and see there's a lot of great players out here even if you don't play competitively we do have casual players here as well we'll just play for the it's not always about um competition sometimes it's about so okay we are going to continue yeah apparently it's two one so guys it looks like we don't have to come to the tournament um but you have official you want us to get our producers are saying the match is actually two one butcher so we're gonna have to come to the match and decide on an official winner true so the question now is you know that pause the fact that butcher now has to do this again you know how does it how does the pause affect them true true because the momentum will have been built because in butcher's mind he won now he has to come back and do this again but this is a pretty good start on his side all right so if i definitely has to make this this chance workout for him nice break there yeah so butcher does get two chances if i it's do or die trying to zone him there uh of course butcher waiting for his coming out to come back has it now so he can close the distance and he does nice work there and the combo is on the way so this should be butcher's round and it is all right so the question is can butcher close this out or can evad somehow win two rounds i think i think he's gonna need america right this point because yeah because butcher is still dialed in like listen butcher got that taste of victory he is not going to let it go at this point look at it in the corner butcher with the corner pressure evad no but it's not enough he's going to break and he has to oh nice dive butcher was ready with the throw break now evad goes low tries to go low again nice blocks goes low and butcher now this end how does this end oh champion he didn't even pop off this time he didn't even pop off this time the look on his face was just like all right there it is you made me have to do this so butcher the definitive champion of the new era mort mk1 tournament butcher taking that one oh so dofi says he's winning the next one you're the goat you mean street fighter mk oh say no in street fighter though okay so look out for dofi everybody in both street fighter mortal combat he says he will be winning both if you don't win the two of them i don't know if you ever hear me shout cast before but understand if you don't win the two of them me and you all right so look out for dofi everybody all right so at this time now we have our champion uh the guys are just going to be presented with their trophies gift baskets thank you again to k design for the beautiful gift baskets thank you again red bull so we now know the three people that being uh of course our winner himself butcher uh the second place player evad and the third place player ratio uh so we know that they will be splitting the 30k prize pool each of them will also be receiving t-shirts and medals well well well put together event here at the fusion core gaming round so we're just settling things down here of course thank you everybody who came out to watch today everybody are tuning to the stream you know everybody for practice right so again it's thunderbird shane yola stars uh for me you can find me at that name on youtube twitch of

I love tapping into this shit. Like, especially, like, range, right? You know. So, like, for the part, for, like, average nigga, that's, like, out there. Cause I always went out, like, how long that should be taking? What you mean, like, what? Like, like, how long it take to shoot a scene like that? It depends. Like, you gotta be on set all day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be, you'll fuck around and be that nigga from ten and that damn ten. Yeah, even a quick scene take a whole goddamn day. It depends on how many cameras they got, if, say, four of all the girls in the scene, right? And they got two cameras, which is good. They got to hide the cameras in each shot, but they might say, we're gonna get his point of view. We'll catch the bag of our head and then get his point of view. Yeah. And then get your point of view. Then get my point of view and be like, all right, we want a full shot. Not only that, we want a two shot of y'all. So we gotta split to make the camera go between, uh, just to shoot. Oh, that shit get technical, bro. But you'll be in there all day just for them to get all the shots they need. Yeah, I knew that shit old. And you'll be thinking, like, what the fuck? They need this shot for what they already got. But when you see the, the edits and the cut, you like, oh. That's what they need this shit for. That's why you got to be the actor. Yeah. And just go in there and do your shit. But that shit fun though, bro. We vivid. Because the company should be easier. Go in there and be funny. All right. But you got to go in here and be serious. It's like, yeah. Because they already know me for being funny. So now, how black people look at folks. They like, well, we know he's funny. We just, we want to see. Instead of just saying, respect in the crowd, bro. And then I ain't even saying, nigga, hit me all in DMs. I'm like, I can't believe you shot. I'm taking back. Fuck you. I ain't seen it. Fuck you. Take a shit. Take a shit. I take my rose. They like, I'm gonna pull up on you. I said, nigga, you'll be another team. No cat. DC man. Come on, bro. Nigga, I'm responding to everybody comments and all. I can't believe you believe. Bro. What?

Got to be like that. No, but it's fun, bro. Like you got to tap in. And when you tap in, bro, that shit be beautiful. Just like how you tap into the music, nigga. Like you tap into that shit. Yeah. I was just about to ask you, you said you wanted the niggas after going through this shit? Nah, I risked it. What you been going through, man? You put them shits in your ass. Regular shit. Regular shit. I rap about this shit. You know, niggas scared to rap, bro. Right. You know, but, you know what I mean? I just mix it up a little bit. I don't know. Like I ain't, it's regular shit, though. It ain't nothing too special. It's the same shit a lot of these niggas go through. Right. You know, with these females, the same shit a lot of these niggas done went through in life coming from where the nigga come from. It ain't nothing special. You know what I mean? The difference is, you know, it's my own story. Right. It's organic. Mm-hmm. A lot of niggas want to tell other niggas' story that somebody already telling them they, and they shit. Right. They try to, you know, that shit can't be duplicated. But you got your own lane, right? You know how you got the sound, but your average song that you talk about, like you talk about the ladies. Yeah. You be on the street shit, but you like nah, nigga. Yeah. I hope for the same to you. And niggas don't know that's the sweet spot for real. That's what they like. That's what they like. I don't lie, what made me, what made me like really, because I used to be, I used to be on that though. Mm-hmm. I used to only make, like, street shit. I used to make nothing, but street shit. I was like, I'm not making no sauce shit. Right. But then, like, I had one of them tour with Summer Walker. And I'm like, I don't even know how we got on tour with Summer Walker. Right. But, you know, nah, like, I was on tour with, with a few other people before. But then, you know, that asked me to be on Summer Walker tour and I started going to the concerts and all. And the crowd was like, hey, like, this is what a show supposed to be like. Yes, sir. That shit was the best feeling ever, every show. Bad bitch, bad bitch, bad bitch. Like, nothing, girls in the crowd, facts. Yeah, I'm like, I remember, like, testing my DJ and telling my DJ, like, I took that rope, full fledge. And it was already like, I been a young nigga that was like, menish, that like, like, girl, like, I been manish my whole life. I had to, had to switch it up. And then like, as like it, it kept going, it kept going, like, you know, the ladies been like in the nigga and stuff, but the concerts just, man, I was out there, bitch, with no shit. Right. But the boy went, he swiped roses. What? Bring me roses. He swiped this shit like that. I kept it. You used to tell me this shit all the time, bro. You need to sign it. I'm like, nah, I gotta get this shit off my champ nigga. The evening I know I said this dope nigga. And that be the thing though, like, yeah, real shit, that would be the thing though, like, and then another thing I had noticed, like, bro, when it comes to that street shit, you got to live up to that shit every day. Right. And the niggas that come around, and they going to want to see if you on that for real, like, or if you got niggas that come around and they think you on that, so that's what they, that's what they, they trying to try it. I'm going to see you really back that shit you talking about.

I don't like living like that. Everybody should be ready to die. Man. Right, man. Everybody should be scared.

But after that, I just kept going with it. What was your inspiration, though? Because you got a flow on you. You got a unique flow. You feel what I'm saying? And what makes you stand out? Because you talk about the female, the way you be rapping it. Like, I ain't nobody sounding like you. Ain't nobody doing what you're doing, for real. When it comes to the melodic R&B, you got to ride away, but it's like, you got your lane. You get on the female. I ain't gonna cap. Mine really a little bit more melodic. When I get on the artist, I kind of like go video for video for video for video. I probably went to see, like, 80 of shit. Like, back and back and back. I was like, Goddamn. I thought I was gonna be done with one of them. I was like, you know what I'm talking about? And I was like, what the shit? I remember when you first had hit me. You know what I mean? I was like, you know, that shit. Because I remember, I remember probably being like, I was in high school watching your shit. I don't even feel old, my boy. Like, real shit. Damn. Like, real shit. I was in high school. But I ain't that old though. So that's why, like, high school was like... How old you in that shit? Because I was in this school when I was doing this shit. I'm gonna lie.

Four years of high school. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Three years of middle school. That's seven. But I'm one of three years. That's what I was working on. Yeah. You was in the third, right? Yeah. That shit real, bro. Yep, man. You've been in the game for a minute, DC. Shit, I done known you since you got down 22. God is the greatest, man. God is the greatest. I don't know what you're after right now. Nah, man. That's... You got the same energy, though, bro. That's 23. This is the 80 years that it just started to pop off for real. Like he said, I don't think I can get money. You got to be a winner, bro. That's a different taste, right? Tell me. You don't get some money. Yes, sir. You can have that shit. Your whole 20s. That shit dope, bro. That shit dope. Yeah, shit. Big advantage of that shit. Don't spend it. Yeah. Keep that shit. I don't lie. I had that phase in me, though. Everybody did. I had that phase where I used to fuck up money. Bad. Bad. Bad. Cars, clothes, jewelry. Shit. At one point, I didn't have like five cars at once. This was when I first got into games. It was like a serious addiction. Yeah. Too bad. I have cars. Nobody needs a fucking car. You got like a hundred car. What the fuck are you talking about? You got that picture. Yeah. I had that. I had a limb truck. A demon. A track car. A hell-capped wrangle. I had a Bentley GT at one point. All at the same time? Yeah. Hell, yeah. What else I had? What else I done had? A G-wagging. Yeah, man. I had all that shit. All my cars. 2007 and below. I checked out some shit. I didn't get any. It was like 2009. You know. It ain't worth it, though. It never was. It ain't worth it. I'm at the point now. I'm just buying all my favorite cars from my life. I mean, what the fuck do you need this? I'm like, shut up, bitch. My grandma ain't one of these. That's it. You get to a point where you start to realize, that shit ain't... I mean, I think once I had my son, or once I realized that my son, once I had found out about my son coming, that ass just sat. I was like, boy, I don't need none of this shit. You had to maintain this on all of them cars that you named. If you, especially like some hot dollar shit like that, I wouldn't buy all that shit every once in a while. Oh, when's your mission time come around? Yeah. That's when you realize a fucking car. That's when you realize a fucking car. So much attention and maintenance and storage and shit like that. It's like, man. And the taxes come back, too. Exactly. You know what I'm at the point in my life, in getting this shit away? Yeah. Yeah, he gave me some shit. I brought it back. I gave it to him. I said, man, I got a Scott Law, man. It's just sending my yard, man. If anybody going to do it, take care of it. It's big loss. It's big loss. It took that nigga two days to do the video. My shit was like, he, he, he. I said, God damn. He just gave it to me at the right time. I had a motor that I had just pulled out. And I was like, it would be perfect for this guy. I'm talking about it. When I sat that motherfucker down there and started out. That's me giving shit away. That little nigga voice in my head. That nigga said, perfect. That bitch, it's on the way back. I'm like, fuck it. Yeah, that's why I'm glad I met you at this point right now. I gave it all away. No, I have not. I said that I'm at the point in my life where I'm giving shit away. I don't gave it away. Give it all away. I give it first. I'll take it. Send them up. I'll take it. I'll give you that. Free the charge. Bro, you got all these goddamn hits. You got some whips pulled up somewhere.

But I do have a bad habit because it's muscle memory of grabbing my phone and getting on whatever app that I'm on. I have to stop that. But the thing is though, a lot of us do it. A lot of us that's in what we in. Right. I don't know how you can really fought us for that. This is where our money at now. What? It's discipline. It's discipline. This is where our money at. Yeah, absolutely. Discipline though. Like when you get up, like just watch yourself in the morning. When you get up, you're dead. I do it every morning. I have to grab it. I wake up 6 a.m. faithfully and jump straight on my phone. I have to get on it for what? No, get up. Fuck that goddamn phone. Just check. Make sure you don't have to go to the bathroom and leave your phone. Oh, I didn't get up. I didn't go get my motherfucker phone. Who died? Turn. You peridog. You peridog. You got a turn.

That's why I like to travel. Travel. When you travel outside the country, shit, you forget about that phone. Yeah. Ooh. Oh yeah. Yeah, you go out the country though. Yeah. You forget about that phone. I like Honduras so much, bro. First of all, service bag. Exactly. Put your phone down. Out of the country, service bag. You got to put that phone down. You got to put your phone down, bro. And it's just peaceful. Mm-hmm. And everybody living on the land. And it's just like, man, fuck that phone. I don't even care. What's on Instagram, bro? All the shit. That just makes me feel like, like, fake though. No. I want to hear this fake. Yeah. This is real life. This is what we not tapped into. And this is why. That's what I'm saying. I always start to feel like a dream. Yeah. Like, I don't lie like, when I was like in Mexico, because I ain't never really been out the country like that. Right. But like, when I was in Mexico, I went to Mexico in Jamaica. But when I went to Mexico, I ain't had no service like that. But Mexico was so motherfucking beautiful. That's true. I feel me like, I wasn't on my phone, not my phone. I had to realize, like, bro, like, damn, like, this real life. Like, I'm out doing shit. I'm swimming with the dolphins. I'm walking on the Mexico streets. I don't even care for my wife. But it was like, it was like, like, not the real streets. Like, you know. The tourist streets. Tourist streets. Right. Type shit. You know, of course, it was a bunch of, like, us out there. It wasn't nobody else. Right. But like, I'm walking around. We walking around there. Like, we on the resort. Like, we just having fun. We doing regular, we waking up every morning. Breakfast in bed, motherfucking like. Shit was just, and I'm like, damn, like, if life was like this, like, this was, I feel like that's what retirement looked like. Like. But see, that is like, we just, the phone has our attention. The moment we put it down, we're back in the real life. You gotta face yourself for real. When we go into this, we're tapped into a reality. You didn't know of your own company. It's worth it. It's worth it. There's the thing about it. It's an endless loop. But you know what though? I have. You don't never finish. You grab that motherfucker cause you know you said some shit before you put it up. Or you was looking at some shit before you went to sleep. It's like, I never in this story. Yeah. It's like, shit, even if you ain't getting on shit, you still gonna grab that motherfucker and see what's happening. I think, I think the biggest thing with me like, when I had took a break from social media one time, when I took a break from social media, it made me feel disconnected. Okay. How deep were you into the social media before you had to decide how to take a break? I was posting two, three times a day. All right. I was, I was like real active on social media. I was interacting with fans, like talking to fans, fans going live them there every day. Like I was like, I was deep in that shit. But then, you know, engagement stopped being how engagement was, like Instagram and all of that. Get fucked there by the shit up. Get fucked there by the shit up. You know, people don't really use Instagram as much as they use to use Instagram. You know, like Twitter and TikTok, the new apps, that motherfucker was really young. Like a lot of shit just changed. And like when it made that shift, I like kind of like fell behind. Cause like the world shifted into this like negative space where motherfuckers start making it cool to be a hater. Oh.

You get all these spam accounts, hating, saying negative shit, getting more fucking blogs, doing more than what the fuck they are. So she made it become one of the fun as it was at first. Yeah.

But you know, what you know what I try to do though? Because since it do have my attention, I try to go find shit that I like or find shit that's interesting. Right. So I do that. So I'm like, all right, instead of me being on Instagram, I'm just finna go read a book, fuck, I'm finna read something. Right. Instead of being on Instagram, I had to unfollow all the blogs. Nigga, all the blogs. I don't follow everybody down to zero. Nigga. I'm trying. I don't follow everybody down. Tiktok with the more information. Tiktok with more information. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know what I'm saying? You put somebody on that shit already. No, you don't. I'm ready to tell that shit to the moon right now. You don't get it? I can't sleep at night. You don't get it? You don't get it? I can't sleep at night. If my real dad lost my shit, that's a shot by fighting. If my little kid's shot, I don't crack shit. I'm free. If my auntie came out with me, that's not free. I'm fighting. I'm coming behind a bit like that. Say it. We got the studio right in about the. Oh my God, what the hell are you doing? Come on, come on. Go ahead, do what you think. Come on, man. I didn't throw my top in the toilet, I didn't just make a mess. I did Instagram video, that was it. That shit went down, bro. That shit was on here by the pain. It's still going crazy on TikTok, yeah. Man, do that shit. Let's get on that shit, man. Little gap. So, Nisa, you signed? You with somebody? Yeah, I'm signed. Okay, okay. Big checks, big money. So, tell the young entrepreneur who wanted to get in the game how to make sure his business is right, but still stay motivated, even if the business ain't right, you gotta keep focused. They said, if I gave you $10 million today, would you be happy? They said, yeah. He said, would you feel like you're on top of the world? They said, yeah, probably. He said, so, what if I told you I gave you $10 million, but you can't wake up tomorrow? Would you feel still for the same way? They said, no. He said, well, why don't you wake up every day like that if life is more valuable than money? So, when it comes to that... See, when I hear shit like that, I think it's a trick. Why? Because it is bullshit. He can't do anything about that. He said, nothing. You always try to talk to the niggas out of money who don't have none. Nah, real shit, though. I need the money, but you can't wake up. You're talking proposition and that. Nah, this is the thing. Give me the money. This is the thing. I need to give you, but you can't enjoy it. How would you feel? How would I feel? This is the thing. Don't face me with this. You're not trying to trick you, man. You're not trying to trick you, man. I'm telling you, boy. Listen, nah, the thing is, though, it's basically a nigga telling you like, nigga, don't make this money more valuable than what the fuck you got going on every time you wake up. But you were saying this to your motherfuckers who don't got shit going on. Exactly. So, once you stop putting some fight... That's a fucked up situation to put somebody in. And I think anybody will tell you this, though. Real shit, you make more money when you're not thinking about making money fast. And that's shit easy to say when you got money. Right. But when you ain't got... How'd you get a nigga that money? When you ain't got... I'm not listening to that. No, I'm not listening to that. That's not how you get money. I'm not thinking about money. Don't get money in there and try to convince... You can't get money and be like, hold on, let me get a damn switch to pay. The more you chase the money, the more that shit run away. The more you chase that motherfucker, the more that shit run away. I feel like if you're a hustler, you already know that you can get some money. When you focus on the money, you just more so... That shit... You like, when I'm gonna get my next check, nigga, I work. I'm not stutting when I'm gonna get a next check. I am going to get another check. It's coming. It's coming because I work. Yeah, like the thing is... When you constantly think about that shit, it's like sitting and watching the clock. And it seems like it just takes forever for that shit to keep coming. But when I'm living life and just having fun, man, that shit be rolling in. I want a lot of life. You just gotta be an entrepreneur and be smart. Yeah, man. That be smart. If you got one income... You're not gonna beat. You're never gonna have it. You, you, you, you... But see, that's what I'm saying. It's all for niggas. It's levels to that shit. It ain't just like... It's not as broad as the state. It's not as broad as the state. And you got weed, crap, pills. Nigga, you straight. Nigga, so when the nigga come, nigga, nigga, you... You ain't sitting in the nigga's up the street, down the street. You one-stop shop. All right. You weed, gonna be your bill money. Your bill, gonna be your going-out money. Yeah, that's the thing. You ain't gotta be more than that. Because it's gonna be niggas who hear that and think that you're talking about just drugs. No. In the literal sense. Okay, so I understand. Yeah, I get what you're saying. So I'm just trying to break it down in the layman term. Yeah, but whatever you want to say... I'm like, maybe you need... You gotta sit there and look at what you selling and compare it to that. And anybody sell. Exactly. Yeah. Well, how about this? Because this the great. You take your weed money and you ask to go buy a dog, a bully. Uh-huh. And now you're gonna make an investment. Mm-hmm. Not only your dog who has sperm or you have a girl dog who can carry dogs. Mm-hmm. Now, if she gets pregnant or your dog be a stud, nigga, you can have more than one bully. Every dog is $8,000. Yeah. I mean, this is... Now you're gonna start... You're gonna start your baby off the weed money. So not a dog money. It's your vacation money. The weed money to keep shit flowing. The dog money is the one you stack on. You're gonna move your whole family. You're gonna move your whole family out of the hood off some goddamn dogs. And you... You ain't gotta work... You ain't gotta work... You ain't gotta work...

I know you got dogs. You got 15. I'm talking about that day. The boy was selling drugs. He was selling on dogs. You sell dogs for sale? No, he's saying you sell drugs. But this is why I'm a hustler because I sold drugs. But I understood how strategic and serious you got to be to be an afro. I was a local joker drug dealer. I had a couple of streets and I had a couple of streets in other neighborhoods. But that was good enough for me. Because you know why? I kept a couple hundred dollars in my pocket. I had a couple thousand saved up. And I ain't had nobody to take care of but me. And I had food stamps and I would put food on the table. I would pay my phone bill and I would pay my car and shirt and niggas come out of the table. For security? I was selling drugs to get off my ass as I went for a hand out. Okay, so that's what taught you. And not only that, when I started from scratch with zero light, that's why I can't get excuses. I don't care because you can give me an ox cord and a speaker. Niggas, I swear on everything I turn this bitch into Best Buy. Correct. I take the ox cord and steal the key and sell it to my partner in there. You see what I'm saying? He saw me. He saw me. While they were doing that shit, I couldn't jump in that lane because that's what they were doing. I tried but they were on my lane. I needed consistent money. They was out every night. I was out every four to five months with these niggas. I'm like they don't steal. You see? My man. He didn't tell what he did. You stole cause. My man. Y'all ain't even supposed to be friends. Y'all are doing two different kinds of cracks. How do they find that you're so drunk? Who was in two different lanes? Who was in two different lanes? You see what I'm saying? I see the dedication that them niggas was having. I'm like I didn't say dedication but I didn't do some whole other shit. That was because of niggas trying to shit. You jumped out and I'm like shit. But still y'all was doing it every night. It was times when they'd leave and forget like oh shit. Now he did tell us to tell them. And I got to hear about all the shit y'all niggas done fronting. I knew I was supposed to be with y'all. Y'all here for how many radio. And now I got to come up with my own plan because I came out of their radio. Damn. But when I started sending grills I was like okay it's my lane, it's cool. But not only that it was like I you need to turn up because there ain't just about sending grills it's what you're doing. Is you stacking money like niggas I had to literally break down a three five. It's too intense. Eight times a day. It's too intense man you can't go through the whole drug game Oh yeah I can't handle it. And then you know my story. We don't have to know all that much. I don't feel a shit. I'm gonna let niggas know how the shit goes. You want me to go back and drug back and drug. I had nine percents. I just put them up fifteen times. Sold them for three dollars a slap. I had two, three, five. I mean six niggas. Kept some. Smoked some. Made my money better. I know a lot of niggas who smoke more than they sell. You see how he didn't turn this into a... I'm gonna say that again. I know a lot of niggas who smoke more than they sell. Some people only sell one or two niggas and have enough to smoke the other half. I don't see niggas put shit to the side. No you need to put that with the private. No. That little piece you put them up. Yeah that's a 60. Put that 60 with the private. I don't even fuck with niggas who do that. Some niggas just sell weed just to be selling weed. A lot of niggas do that. I don't like when a niggas try to put a limit on how much you can get. And I can't even do all that, man. You know I'm gonna be out. Ain't that the point? I want about the whole thing. I can't even do that, man. You know what he's pissing me off? Niggas put out a scale for a ground. I'm not a niggas. I don't even fuck with niggas who do that, man. I don't even know. I don't even know. I didn't ever forgive them niggas who did that. I remember each and every one of the niggas who ever pulled the scale out on me. And ever since the tapes have turned, I don't fuck with them. You don't fuck with your own scale. Niggas, you put my shit on the scale. This is me, buddy. That's me. That's what I suck at selling dope because of that scale. That's what I'm saying. That's what I suck. The junkie be like, that's it? I'll be like, oh shit, let me give you some more. Don't act like we cool if you know you're going to pull the scale out. I'm gonna suck that shit up. I don't give a shit about your whole bottle. I don't give a shit about your whole bowl. I'm going to give you the whole ball, god damn put them out. I don't give a shit about your whole bag. I'm going to give you the whole bag and then I'll put away the baby. The country that niggas can niggas sit on. You're not going to see all of that anymore. I wouldn't think you're getting weed from. Hey, you're my friend. Big Phil, no? Listen, bro, if you... I had sax for whatever money you had. What you got? Eight dollars. I got a sax for... Eight dollars, no cap. I got a sax for eight dollars. You got a sax for eight dollars. No cap. You got five to nine dollars. I can't take that sound. No cap. But I give a n*** for that sound. No cap. Hey, that was one of the most fun summers that I had around here. When they had them goddamn, when dying bags was three for 10. Oh, y'all, them fat bags too. They fucked the game, you know what I'm saying? That shit really pissed me off. That was a lot. That Zaza fucked the game. When I realized n***a had n***a bags of loud... Zaza fucked the game up. I'm up here trying to sell my shit for 20 dollars a gram. And I'm watching my cousin walk past me all the way. I'm so glad them days dad... That's when it was a week. N***a, n***a, it's a week. I'm honest, the whole day, man. I'm like, fall off, man. When the loud was 20 dollars a gram, but they was an old day, we were just a week as fucked up. That was the same summer that they shut the bughead down. They fenced it all off my shit. Gosh. I've been a day of weed with you. We give you the over. N***a got an option now. You want sativa, indica. N***a, I didn't want to get high. They won't put... I ain't n***a tell me this. We here gonna clear your sinuses up. Never been high before. Don't ever get high. N***a, get high, man. Fuck this shit. They ain't talking about it. This ain't the time. N***a, this is the time. It's 2023. It's the time.

I'm just saying, find you two. They don't be having no problem. Because when I went to the fire academy, they used to always tell us, two is one and one is none. What? It's just anything. What the fuck is that? That's why you don't need to get high. Two is one and one is none. Because look, we used to have to have this rope. And when you tie off your safety rope, you have to tie off two safety knots. And then you would think one is enough, but that ain't enough. Because two is one. That's my offer, Mississippi. And one is none. So. Have one hold, two hold, have no hold. Because you'll find you. I ain't got no Mississippi. Huh? I learned out of Mississippi. Yeah. No cap. Oh, I ain't like you can't learn shit in Mississippi. I don't want to lie now. I ain't going to say that. I learned a lot of shit in Mississippi. You know everybody here in town.

I'll tell you my story. We came up out the project. This is a great story. I don't like telling people how it happened because it made so many movies about it. Niggas think it's unbelievable. Like I started out in the projects though, right? But I was never poor. I just, that's why my family was just from that side of town. So I always had like, it was real nice on my end. Lottery ticket. It was ghetto magnificent is the word. I don't need a girlfriend like that. Stayed in the hood, but you didn't really feel or anything like that. Niggas, we weren't feeling no pains.

Let's make sure we're coming out live. Hi everyone, this is Chicho. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today, today is December 27th, 2020. And we're doing an open discussion live stream on investing in personal finance. We've done a few of these. And the way slowly it's gonna start working out is we're gonna do sort of open discussion, talking about the macro and the micro and stuff like this and mainly on the macro level, right? And then I think we're gonna tag team it with looking at the markets and start introducing some of the ASMR mathematics stuff in there with looking at the stock market and return on a set and different types of markets, right? Aside from that, we're gonna continue doing what it is that we are doing. And as we wait for notifications to go out on Discord and Twitch just for people to roll in. I'm gonna give you guys my little intro. If you wanna know what this is about, I am on Patreon. Patreon.com forward slash Chicho, C-H-Y-C-H-O. I'm doing sort of these intros to these live streams before everyone starts rolling in. That way, we can get into the discussion right away. But if you wanna know what this work is about, Patreon is a great way to do so. If you wanna support this work, Patreon is a great way to do so. There's a bunch of people, a group of people that have been supporting this work through Patreon for a while now since I went on Patreon. And for those of you who've been supporting this work for this long, and who've put your sort of faith, trust and love into what I'm doing here, thank you very much for your support. It is in large part because of your support that we're able to do this. And without you, I'm not sure if we would've come as far as we have so far. So bottom of my heart, I thank you very much for that. And gang, as before, I don't put anything beyond paywalls. Everything's creative, common, share, share, like, follow the work. If you think this work deserves your support, support this work through Patreon. We have a lot in store for you for the next few years to come, right? We are live streaming on Twitch, twitch.tv for slash chico live, C-H-Y-C-H-O-L-I-V-E. If you wanna participate in that chat, Twitch is where you wanna be at, okay? And for those of you who've been supporting this work on Twitch, following, subscribing, liking, helping out with bits, redeeming points, participating in discussion, thank you very much for your support. And the mods on Twitch and on our Discord page, thank you very much for your support, L or God. How are you doing? Twitch sent, awesome, awesome, awesome. Thank you for the heads up. And I do announce these live streams 30 minutes before we go live on Parler, L.O.Mines, VKGab, and Twitter. And we do share additional content there. And we also have a Discord page and you can go to our Twitch channel anytime and type in exclamation mark social and all the links will pop up. And the last one there is the Discord link. There's a fair bit of people participating on our Discord channel, sharing information, getting into chill discussions and heated debates. It's a pretty good place to share information and work through some of the questions and some of the issues and some of the perspectives you have, right? And we have people from the full, not just two dimensional spectrum, but the full spectrum. And Discord also sent, awesome, thank you, L or God. I will be uploading the audio for this live stream to soundcloud.com or slash chicho, C-H-Y-C-H-O as a podcast. And it should be available on your favorite podcasting platform, including Spotify and iTunes. Shirtless Kylo, thank you very much for the tier one sub. And welcome to another live stream. Greetings, greetings. Plutorio, how are you doing? I'm doing well, thank you very much. I hope you're doing well. Emily, how is life? And we will be uploading this live stream to both Bichud and YouTube, right? Because I don't anticipate this discussion going anywhere where the YouTube sensors will knock us out and I'll try to make sure that we don't go in that direction. We'll keep those kinds of discussions on the politics. Current events live streams that we are not uploading to YouTube. So if you are watching this personal finance, investing in personal finance video on YouTube after the live stream and you're curious as to where our current events live streams are, they are only now being uploaded to Bichud. So if you wanna follow that work, you need to subscribe to Bichud. Ian Vendor, how are you doing? Happy Sunday to you as well. Happy Sunday to you as well. Life is fantastic, Emily says, awesome, awesome. Let's stay clean. Let's stay clean indeed. Cheryl, how are you doing? Hope you're doing well. Gang, I got my tea. I got no ice this time. Cornelian cherry liqueur on the rocks. Not on the rocks, neat, okay? So Cornelian cherry liqueur, neat. It's the one I put together about two years ago, three years ago, two years ago, two years ago, three years ago, and we're just finishing it off. Salud, it is nice, it is strong. I got a little bit of bread. This is like Persian flat bread, it's called sangyak. It's nice. It's just good as sort of a little crunch crunch, right? Toasted is fantastic. And I got some crab apple butter, homemade crab apple butter. The one you know, the one you know. This is a nice flavor. I hope you guys have good snacks. Sleepy waves, how are you doing? Yo, what's up, Chico? Doing good, brother. This is the last stream of, I guess this was a four stream set. So just enjoying it. This thing that I'm eating is his homemade crab apple butter. If you go to our, we have videos out of how to make crab apple butter. This is crab apples that we picked from a small town that we go to. We have friends there and there's festivals. We couldn't go to the festival this year, but this is from the previous year. Went to a festival and they have crab apple trees there. So we pick up a whole crab, whole bunch of crab apples on the way home and cook them up. I wasn't hungry a minute ago, I'm sorry. I'm shirtless kind though, Chico. Should I pour whiskey or wine? We're going chill tonight. I went hard yesterday. I'd say pour some wine. Pour some wine. I got my sipper going, right? Neat, Cornelian cherry liqueur, right? So just a sipper. Or go whiskey, but neat. No, no, no ice. Jason White is the title updated to today's stream. It should be personal finance, investing in personal finance. I hope so. Yeah, it is. Looks like it. And that's what I sort of want to focus on. And by the way, gang, let me take these guys down. First of all, if you want to get a macro, get a large-scale perspective of what's going on in the world on an economic front. I highly recommend following two economists, right? Or two people that understand the markets well. Okay, one of them is Michael Hudson. And the other is Martin Armstrong. They're on two different ends of the spectrum if you want to consider it to be two different ends of the spectrum, right? You need to be consuming both to have a bigger picture of what's taking place. Martin Armstrong is more on a political side to a certain degree, but he knows the markets well, right? Michael Hudson is more of the socialist side to a certain degree. And he knows the history extremely well. As does Martin Armstrong, okay? What do you think about Bitcoin hitting 28,500 today? Can anything stop it? It looks like it's not stopping. There's definitely things that could stop it, for sure. But we've talked about this. When it started coming back up again, I mentioned that it can do based on the chart. Like if you look at the chart of Bitcoin, it's a fractal of itself, right? So just looking at the chart, I mentioned that it was hovering around 18,000, 19,000, 20,000. And I mentioned that it can easily do a pump up to anywhere between 35,000 to 45,000, okay? And when it does the last, right? It will most likely, if the fractal remains, right? If the pattern remains, it should come back down to around 18,000 or so. And this is speculation, by the way. Don't take this by heart or don't bet your house on everything. It should come down to around 18,000 and stabilize and we'll see where it goes, right? And if it stabilizes the way it did between, and then maybe popped out to 15 and come back up again, do whatever it needs to do, right? And it might, and if it behaves the same way it did, go from going, hitting 20,000, coming down to 32,000, and then kicking back up to 60,000, going up, going up. And if it continues to do that, then the next plateau should be around the last peak and then another doubling, going up to 100,000 and stuff like that. If the fractal remains, right? If the pattern continues, what can stop it? A lot of things can stop it. Okay, regulation is one. Regulation can knock the crap out of it. Stopping the flow of just flooding the markets with currency. Like right now, we're at a time where zero interest rates or negative interest rates, right? If the central governments stop the taps, right? You should expect Bitcoin to drop dramatically, right? One of the reasons Bitcoin is doing a jump is because there's a trillions of dollars thrown into Wall Street and Wall Street is in the Bitcoin business now. So everybody's chasing growth. So they're taking all that money, taxpayer money and they're buying Bitcoin and they're putting on unbalanced sheets as they're calling an investment or whatever it is, but it's a collectible, right? Bitcoin now is no longer a currency, it is a collectible. It is a collectible that has certain uses, right? So many things can stop it. If they close the taps, you're gonna see Bitcoin crash hard just like every other market, okay? Spider-Man, how are you doing? We're talking about personal finance. Can we talk about the complete joke of a stimulus and how Trump pretended that he wanted 2,000 checks then immediately signed a 600 once the Republicans said no. Sneaky, sneaky, Spider-Man. I agree with the 2,000, but it should have been a 2,000 on a monthly basis, okay? Trump is Trump. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about American citizens. Only his voting block to a degree, but not even, right? There's a core element, the money, right? Like, it should be obvious to people now that Trump is just another, you know, another of the same old, same old, right? He had the opportunity to do a lot of the things that he had promised people to do and people had hoped for him to do, but he didn't, right? One of the things for you to know that Trump was just another politician, another oligarch was when he got into office, right? He kept on trash talking stock market, saying the stock market doesn't reflect the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? And then when he got into office, he started chirping that, oh, the stock market is doing well, so the United States is doing well, but General Joe Blow wasn't doing well. Unemployment was down. There were some indicators, certain things were improving relative to the Obama times, but those numbers are fictitious as well, right? So Trump is, whatever Trump is, but Democrats are the same deal, right? $600, $600. Spider-Man, that's like spitting in the face of every single American citizen while the world laughs at you, right? That's the way the world sees what's going on in the United States. In Canada, I haven't gone through the money that Canadian government made available for Canadians, right? I didn't want to get into that system, right? But in Canada, every person got anywhere, was getting anywhere between, I don't know, like $1,400 to $2,000 a month, a month, right? Since the beginning of the lockdowns, right? Since the beginning of the pandemic. Holy shit, right? That's a huge difference, huge difference. Cheryl, wish I could have been a fly in that room, ha-ha, yeah. Jason White, how can you regurgitate it, though? Regulate it, though. They could ban it, straight out ban it. The U.S. government, like for example, and let me finish reading what you said, Jason, how can you regulate it, though? And honestly, it seems like the more government tried to ban it, the more valuable it becomes because it will be more rare. It's like when banning drugs, they just get more expensive. Well, I don't know about that, right? For example, a gram of weed, a gram of cannabis in Canada in the 1980s was $10, $10 to $15, right? Depending on what it was. In the 1980s, okay, before legalization came into play in Canada, let's say two years ago, right? It was a gram of cannabis was still $10 to $15, right? There was barely any inflation in cannabis, really, right? Now, should a gram of cannabis be, if you're buying individual grams, we're not talking about buying bulk, right? Should a gram of cannabis be worth $10? No, it's a weed. Everybody can grow it in their backyards, right? But when legalization comes in through the government's centralization of power, all of a sudden in the stores, right? Because now the government wants a piece of the pie. The real estate developer wants a piece of the pie. The regulators want a piece of the pie. The this department of the government wants a piece of the pie. There's people that want a piece of the pie, right? All of a sudden the gram of weed becomes more expensive, right? So not necessarily that if the government bans it, the price will go up and stuff like this. But here's a way they could regulate it. In Canada, right? Before the government got into the business of Bitcoin, of cryptocurrencies, you could just buy and sell and trade Bitcoin, right? But all of a sudden when all these exchanges came into play, if you wanted to open up an account of one of these exchanges to be able to trade, to be able to buy and sell Bitcoin, you had to give full disclosure, your name, your identity, where you could be contacted, your address, all the stuff, right? You had to give all this information to these exchanges to be able to buy and sell crypto, right? And then every node where you're converting crypto to fiat, that's being registered, right? If you stay in full crypto and you're not on an exchange, you got your anonymity, right? But if you're on an exchange, you're buying and selling crypto, there's an account of what you have. If centralized power comes in and says anybody that has crypto, the crypto will be confiscated or, and if you don't forfeit your crypto, exchange it, let's say the same thing they did with gold, right? Exchange it at $25 an ounce. Bitcoin, they'll say we'll exchange it for $1,000. $100, $10,000, I don't know what they'll do, right? They'll just say Bitcoin is now criminal to hold. And majority of people have gotten into this game, right? Because Bitcoin is, the control of the bitcoins are very centralized, right? It's not distributed out yet. It hasn't been around long enough for it to be distributed out, right? So there's a lot of individuals or institutions that hold a ton of bitcoins, right? So it's not in everybody's hands where people can freely exchange it for it to become a possible alternative way of trade, right? So it's become a collectible. So if they come out on outright say, you can't hold Bitcoin anymore, what are you gonna do with it? You gotta liquidate. You gotta get rid of it. There's a record of it, right? It's like when banning, yeah, no. And gang, don't forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. And Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capital as power to humanity. For more information, please see our Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist. And I forgot to add the hashtag freeassange on there. I took it out. I changed the last sentence. I'll add it up next time. I have more toilet paper. How are you doing? Good afternoon from the future. Monday, political stream. You know, not current events, personal finance. Graham, Chico, should I buy a fractional amount of Bitcoin and see what happens? Nothing too crazy, but it sounds like a solid investment. Graham, it really depends. Like for example, look, here's a thing with Bitcoin, right? 10 years ago, you could have got 100 Bitcoin for a dollar. Like you could have got, like seriously, right? Bitcoin was pennies on a dollar, right? People were exchanging Bitcoin in spreadsheets, right? And then the price went to a dollar and people like, oh my God, dollar. And then went up to 30 people were freaking out. And then it collapsed down to three, right? And people went, oh, Bitcoin is done, right? And then from three went up to 100. And people were, oh, and then went out 150 and it collapsed down to 30 or something. So it does this thing, right? The kicker is this. If you got in 10 years ago from pennies on the dollar to 100, your return is enormous, right? As you know, you can just do the mathematics of it. Return on your investment is just off the charts, right? But right now, Bitcoin is trading, let's say 30,000, right? What is the potential of Bitcoin? 10 years from now, Bitcoin might be a million or it could be zero, right? Let's say, so right now is 30,000, right? So what's the multiple on it going to a million? Let's say maybe it goes up to 300,000, right? How long has it taken? Look at the time span. Basically, I would do this if anybody's thinking about and getting into Bitcoin. As long as you don't think they're gonna run regulations on you. Look at, and we put out a video on this. If you go on our personal finance playlist and we do have a personal finance playlist where I did one video where I was talking about fractals in markets, right? The timeframe. I think I called it timeframe of trading and stuff like this, right? So when you see action on something like Bitcoin or even stock market does this, collectibles do this, look at the pattern that you see in a short period of time and see if you can, and what you wanna look for is coming up, stabilizing peak drop, peak drop possible, right? And see if these, and then watch it drop again and then see if you see patterns, right? And if you see patterns, what you're gonna notice is the most of the payout is at the beginning, like the multiples, right? And then the next pattern may be over an extended period of time, right? So it goes from here to here, same pattern, but the return is one or magnitude less, right? And then the next wave could be longer as well, right? And again, one or magnitude less. So how long has it taken Bitcoin to go from, let's say at the bottom, 3,200 in this last wave, 3,200 to 28,000 right now or 30,000 right now? That's a 10-fold increase, right? So 10-fold increase, that was 32, I think that was like two years it took to do this, right? Now also consider that the 10-fold increase in two years, you could have also acquired in other stocks as well, other places as well, right? Look at Tesla, Tesla's done more than 10-fold in two years, I believe, right? So there are different places you can play as well. So this one took 10 years for it to occur, right? The next wave, let's say this goes up to 40,000, 45,000 comes back down to 20,000 or something like that stabilizes 15,000, maybe 25,000, whatever it is, right? The next wave of this might be four years and then a 10-fold, 10 times return, right? That's the way I'm looking at it, right? If it's money you need to live, I would not risk, right? Because your timeframe might not match Bitcoin's timeframe or any market that you're gonna go into timeframe, right? So don't gamble with your lunch money, okay? However, if you have excess money, it's not a bad idea to divest, diversify, right? Would I be buying Bitcoin right now at 28, 30? I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be personally because the price is too high for me right now, right? If I had a ton of money, like the way Wall Street just ended up getting it, right? Those trillions of dollars, just gang, gang, really appreciate what's moving the markets, right? Trillions of dollars of US taxpayer money in the United States specifically, US taxpayer money just went to Wall Street and they need to make it work for them, right? They got money, interest-free, basically interest-free to do as they wish. So what are they doing? They're not opening up factories and giving raises to their employees and doing a lot of R&D. They're not doing this stuff, right? They're buying back their own stock. They're gonna only buy back so much while the executives sell, right? They're also looking into other places to park their money so they can make a look good on the balance sheets. Now that Bitcoin is considered to be a legitimate form. They've classified it as, you know, if you're making gains on capital gains, I believe, right? In Canada, anyway, I believe, right? So if it's a form of asset, then people are these companies, these funds are buying Bitcoin and throwing on the asset, throwing on the books. Oh, look, we've had this much in games. Everything's just manipulation right now. So, you know, play whatever game you wanna play. Just make sure you understand what the game is. Process, hi guys, how and where to invest. How and where to invest, indeed. Or how to make money on stock. Stock market we're gonna start talking about. We've already did one video on stock market. I have toilet paper to share, I share. Let's sleep, ha ha. Okay, people talking to each other. Spider-Man, it's the same thing with how bottle water came about. Water should be a human right. Spider-Man, I 100% agree with you. Water should be a human right. Unfortunately, Wall Street wants to commodify water and they have to a certain degree, right? So, they're putting a price tag on water. If you wanna know how corrupt Wall Street is when you commodify everything in life, look at a documentary called, oh my God, it was a tip of my tongue. On Enron. Last person to leave it. There was a documentary on Enron, right? And watch that documentary. Oh, I forget what it's called. Anyway, it's a disaster, okay? Cheryl, we did, thanks. Even a little snow. Okay, people are talking together. I had 120 Bitcoin three years ago. I regret getting rid of it. Oh, it would have been over 3.5 million now. Do you have any tips on how to avoid those regretful thoughts? Jason, if you had 120 Bitcoins, if you believed full-heartedly in Bitcoin, right? In the concept of cryptocurrencies and the whole thing with crypto and blockchain technologies changed a little bit, right? I don't think Bitcoin is any longer true to its original source, right? I wrote an article on this a long time ago, right? However, one way you can avoid stepping out of the market, and this is what it's called, you stepped out of the market. If you wanted to stay in the market, maybe you should have only sold half of your holdings in crypto and Bitcoin, right? Maybe only sold 60 Bitcoins, right? Instead of 120, and then that way you would have still been in the game, right? And that is one of the fears. And it's a legitimate fear, legitimate problem when people are in a certain type of market. If you're in a market and the market does what the market does, it goes up, it comes down, it goes up, it comes down, right? Everything's cyclic, right? If you're in a market and you believe this is a legitimate market, it's not just a pump and dump, right? Then unless you're willing to step away from that market and realize that the market might leave you behind, then don't fully step out, right? That's one way you can avoid being burnt in this way. This is one of the things that happens in real estate and collectibles and cryptos and stocks and everything, right? No one says that you have to liquidate all your holdings in a certain market. You can liquidate some, take it off the table and diversify into other markets, right? That might be if your market, if what you're investing is really hot right now, the odds are there are certain markets, certain things that are pretty low right now. So it's not a bad idea to downsize this a little bit and kick this up a little bit, right? Everything is cyclic. There's a lot of message traffic on Bitcoin and some of my encrypted I follow, but it's all gibberish to me. Are ETF investment risk free? No, absolutely not. Exchange traded funds. I have toilet paper. We've just had McDonald's move from plastic straws to paper straws. Sounds like a small change, but it's pretty huge for the environment. I've been advising people to invest in biodegradable straw companies for years as the movement away from single use plastic has begun. I have more toilet paper for sure. There's going to be this disruptive innovation coming up and new industries popping up. It's not a bad idea to get a foothold on the bottom for these things. One of the ones I've been recommending are cannabis companies, right? Sleepy waves. Yo, I remember two years ago looking at the Bitcoin at 3,600 on this live stream. Wish I would have bought at least one. Yeah, sleepy waves. I remember someone came up to me then. I can't remember who it was because when Bitcoin went from, we've been doing Bitcoin anyway. When Bitcoin was sitting at like 20,000, right? I came out and said, I said, Kaiser has been covering, Max Kaiser has been covering Bitcoin for a while, right? And I said, you know what? Kaiser's pumping this thing, right? He should know that once an asset investment goes up 10 fold in such a short period of time because it went from like 2,000 to 20,000, pretty speedy Gonzales, right? Or 1,500 to 20,000, pretty speedy Gonzales, right? I said, he was telling people to buy. I was telling people to sell, right? I was like, man, get out, right? Like, if you're not happy with a 10 fold return, right? You don't have to pull out completely, but it's not a bad idea to sell and buy at a lower price. And then Bitcoin came down to 12,000 and I mentioned that my bottom for Bitcoin on that movement and that cycle was around 2,800. And someone came up when Bitcoin was around 3,435 and said, hey, Chico, you mentioned that, you know, 2,800 was your bottom. Do you think this is a good time to get in? I go, man, my bottom is 28. I think it went down to 32 or something, right? But I mentioned that when it's come down that much, this difference doesn't make a whole lot of difference, right? This much. If you want it to get in, it was a good time to get in, right? My recommendation right now, I can't give you guys recommendation. I've already mentioned that it might pop up and I mentioned this when it was trading into the teens, right? I mentioned that, you know, it might pop up to 40, 35 to 45,000, but once it does that, if you're not taking a little bit off the table at 45,000 or 40,000, right? And gang, free Assange, free Assange, free Assange.

For more information, please see our Julie Nassange and WikiLeaks playlist. Sleep with Chicho, have you ever seen the documentary, Hyper-Normalization? The Ring's a bell, can't remember. Carlos, how are you doing? Chicho, what's up brother? Glad I finally caught a stream. Fela's Navidad, hope all is well, free Assange, free Assange. Sleep with us, do you think it will ever drop back to around 3500? Well, let go down to 3500, maybe on the way down permanently, maybe on the way down permanently. Then if that's happening, then it's a tradeable. It's just, you're flipping it. And could it, yeah. Merry Christmas in Spanish, ha ha. Fela's Navidad, Fela's Navidad, did I pronounce that right? I don't think I did. And with Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, and a Happy New Year. Love the all black, politics stream book. The Conan, see you guys, process, sweet dreams, or good morning, see what he's done, she showed us Spanish this week. Ha ha ha, sorry. Salute gang, salute. Homemade Cornelian cherry liqueur. Let's see if it'll focus. Well it's, well it's, well it's focused this close. I don't think so, man. I hope that's not making you guys dizzy. Neat morning, good morning process. Yeah, like sustainable is a good place to be, really. It's a good place to be. There is serious novel industries that are popping up on the market, right? We are going through some major shifts, transitions in the world. There are great investment opportunities, and there are some horrendous investment choices out there. Don't make the horrendous ones. You're gonna get burned hard. Or Bitcoin is connected to China. China outlawed them, banned them, all the exchanges. So all the exchanges had to move out of China. There is still, I'm assuming, a lot of Chinese that still own Bitcoin, but it's on the down low. I don't think China is going to allow Bitcoin to get a foothold. They're gonna try their hardest not to allow it to happen, right? If any, like no centralized power, no centralized bank government is gonna allow Bitcoin to get a foothold in their countries or globally. So there's still the possibility. They might come out and do a conversion and say, okay, all cryptos now, you have this like India saying everybody has to exchange these high denomination bills down to the new denomination or lower denomination. They could come out and say, all cryptos have to be converted. 98% of the cryptos are not even gonna be convertible, right? If not more. So there's gonna be a handful of cryptos that are gonna say possibly you can exchange it for this now digital currency that is controlled by centralized government. And that basically is the beginning stage of eliminating cash from the world economic system, which will be basically our final strong nail of us going completely totalitarian, which is devastating, right? That we should not allow that to happen. So there is a serious drawback to cryptos because it might have just been, you know, there's the possibility that blockchain, Bitcoin was a PSYOP, a centralized move by central banks to get people used to a digital currency, right? And then eliminate cash so they control everything, right? So be careful, it's blockchain technology for sure, legit. Awesome. But the way they're rolling out Bitcoin and these exchanges and the regulations around it is becoming problematic. And anybody that's just doing a pump and dump, be careful. Stupid way to show, is there anything companies you are becoming more valuable aside from Tesla or Bitcoin? I wouldn't put money in Tesla right now. I don't think, the only reason Tesla is shot up is because US government has conch, it's basically a military, Tesla is connected to SpaceX and stuff like this. But Monk, Alan Monk is basically an asset, Pentagon asset, right? So all it is is paper gains. There isn't really the essence there, right? Should Tesla be trading and what is it $650 after five or one split? No, Bitcoin possibly, I've mentioned cannabis companies, right? Stupid way to show, I freelance for an online education platform here in the States, but unfortunately they aren't a public company so I can't invest in them. You can invest in different types of education, right? And look, in the United States, we're about to see, in my opinion, we're about to see major austerity kick in, we're about to see major unemployment, we're about to see serious homelessness kick up, we're about to see more money go towards Wall Street, okay? They're serious, there's gonna be cutbacks in education, in healthcare and everything, right? I think the United States is about to go through austerity, right, be prepared for it. And I think in large part, a lot of the Western countries are about to go through austerity. Grow a forest, I bought $30 in Bitcoin 12 days ago, it's 41, fun experiments so far. Nice, how much did you pay to do the buy? How much did it cost you to do the trade or was it on an individual basis? Crip them, hey Chicho, what about psychotherapy, I think it's a good time to invest in that industry, psychotherapy, entheogens, is that what we're talking about? Crypto, entheogens, the rollout on approval on entheogens is gonna be, it's gonna take a long time, right? Like Oregon just legalized the use of psychedelic mushrooms for therapy, right? But there's so many hurdles because centralized power is putting all these hurdles in, right? Regulation and all this stuff. So it's really in its infancy, right? Cannabis, it is its infancy, but at the beginning, it's already gone through the first few hurdles, right? Now it's the growth period. So now with the growth, because the hype is already done, if you looked at cannabis stocks, the initial hype was insane, it was like the bot.com bubble, right? And then things crash now to 90, 95% drop, right? So, and that's a good time to buy into as long as the industry's gonna maintain, right? So for the long term, yeah, but it's gonna take a long time, man, long time. Probably Sean, Chico, what investment you think are stable? For what's your time period, Sean? What are stable and what's stable, right? Like if you're doing low-end investing where you're looking for huge gains, then those aren't gonna be stable to a certain degree because it could go a huge up, huge down, right? If you're looking somewhere where if there's a serious downturn, you might only lose 10, 15, 20% of your investment as opposed to gaining five, 10, 15, 20%. If you consider that to be stable, there's different markets there. And it really depends where you are, right? This has become very micro-based. There is macro investments you can make and micro investments you can make. Like people say, go into real estate, real estate where? Would I make a huge investment in real estate in New York City? Absolutely not. New York City is about to go belly up, right? Within reason, not belly up completely Detroit style, right? But New York City is about to go some serious hard times. Would I buy real estate in New York City? Absolutely not. There are funds, hedge funds, that are pulling out of New York and going to Florida. So is Florida a good place to buy real estate? Possibly, right? Possibly. So you have to really look at where you are and what your time frame is. Gratias. And you can just do low-end, right? You can do what you can invest in markets you know, right? For example, if you're working in an industry, right? Let's say you do whatever it is that you're doing, okay? If that's a viable industry, it's viable enough to hire you to pay you to work in that industry. And you think it's sustainable, then why not look into how you can invest in that industry if you really think it's a good place to be if you like it, right? Now that's not really diversifying too much, but that gives you the first taste of investing, right? Now don't stay 100% in that industry. Your work is in that industry and your investment in that industry. Because if that industry goes belly up, you're pretty much screwed, right? So if you've never done any type of investment, investing, you could look into the industry that you're most familiar with to start playing that market because there are multiple different markets in the world to understand your own abilities to trade, to invest, to understand the market. Fine-tune your skills and then take that knowledge that you acquired by playing around in the industry that you understand and apply it to other places, right? That's the way you should approach these things. Grakas, honestly, if any chatters want to make a big buck investing in crypto, might as well invest in Tesla and play the volatility. Yeah, I agree. And Tesla, I wouldn't go long right now. Like I wouldn't go long. Reno Mike, I can't wrap my head around the value of crypto. Like how you determine the value to show, the market determines the value, right? How much money, like the value of crypto is based on so many things right now, right? It's based on the flood, like how much money the taps are turned on by central power, right? Central governments right now are flooding the markets with money. Like just open up the tap, trillions and trillions, right? So there's free flowing money if you're one of their own, right? Me and you aren't, right? But if you're one of these connected to these people that are letting all this money loose, you get all this money, trillions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars, billions of dollars. What are you gonna do with it? I don't know, buy real estate? Crap, you can't, no, real estate is teeter totter especially commercial real estate, okay. And you already have enough commercial real estate. Housing market, yeah, it takes management fees, this. And maybe you already have enough housing market thanks to Obama when they flood the markets and Wall Street bought all of houses, right? So you're looking for places to park your money and get returns, right? So a huge part of it is how much money is coming in. The other part of it is stability of certain governments. Another part of it is international money flow, right? Another part of it for sure is if you wanna stay anonymous and it may be just huge to transfer a certain amount of money from here to here. Another one is just accessibility. It's easier for people right now to, let's say someone in the United States wants to transfer $1,000 from the United States to Africa, right? To a country in Africa. Well, sometimes it's cheaper and faster, not sometimes, it absolutely is cheaper and faster to do it through crypto, right? So this party over here can say, hey, where's my money? And this party say, okay, I'm gonna transfer you $1,000. Do you have a crypto exchange account or do you take crypto? This person says, yeah, I take crypto. They say, okay, this is how many bitcoins I have to transfer over to you for $1,000. Acceptable, acceptable, done, over. No intermediary, no banks, no exchange funds, no nothing. You just transfer the funds, done, right? So the market decides it, right? Once if there's more and more regulations from governments, they tighten up the control of money, try to strangle, hold the population, you're gonna see the value of crypto go through the roof, right? If they eliminate cash, you're gonna see the value of crypto go through the roof, right? There's a lot of people that are holding a lot of bitcoins, cryptos, that are working with centralized governments or promoting centralized governments or hoping that centralized governments eliminate cash, because that increases their value. Well, that goes 100% against the whole philosophy of why blockchain technology was there is to, blockchain technology was introduced to provide anonymity and freedom to individuals, right? Outside of regulations. If there's a whole bunch of people that hold Bitcoin and these cryptos that really want the government to get more control because they wanna cash out, they wanna be worth bazillions of dollars, then they're my enemy, right? Simple as that. So you have to make a decision on where you stand on principle. If you're just into making money, if you just wanna become extremely rich, man, there's so many different markets you could get into, so many different markets you couldn't get into, right? Like, for example, if I was working in Hollywood, sorry if I'm going off on a rants gang, I'm not catching up with the chat, but let me give you an example. Let's say I'm working for movie studios, right? Let's say I'm working on a film that they're shooting a movie based on a superhero character. Let's say either Marvel or DC character, right? I'm on this movie set, they're shooting this movie and I know what the storyline is. I know who the characters are, both the heroes and the villains, right? And I know maybe if there's gonna be a second part coming in, right? If I know who the main character of the movie is, the main focus, central hero is and the main antagonist is, right? Personally, if I was working on that movie studio, I would find out where they made their first appearance in the comic books and it would take thousands of dollars or whatever it took to buy a ton of the first appearance and the origin story and the death of that character and the story that is being told in the movie, right? I would buy those comic books, right? That's their first appearance. And when the news comes out that this is the story arc and stuff like this, you're gonna see the price of those comics shoot up, right? Then you can sell half of your holdings, right? As the value is going up. When the movie hits, if you think the movie is gonna be really, really good, hold on to some of it because the price will continue to go up. If you don't think the movie is gonna be very good, maybe you wanna liquidate all your assets, right? That's the way you complain the market associated with what you know, right? And gang, Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange, Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, please see our Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist. Slippery way, she showed, you're always mentioning cannabis stocks but there are so many companies. Do you have any recommendations for any you have been following over the last year? I mentioned some of them when I told people don't, held to God, thanks for the subscribe, brother. Don't buy into the ones that I said, but there was a couple I mentioned that I've already gone up like three, four, five fold, right? There's one of the companies that I mentioned that just merged with another company, they're both Canadian, they merged with another company, a cannabis company, one on the West Coast, one in Toronto, and they're more powerful now, right? I can't recommend stocks because my timeframe may be different than yours, my perspective may be different euros. I can just say the industry looks good. It's in its infancy, right? It's like asking me in the 1990s which technology companies would be good places to park your money in the early 2000s. You should do your research because if you're asking, you don't know, you know the industry you wanna get into but you don't know which one to get into and you just buy in based on a recommendation, right? And you ride the wave, let's say it goes up but you don't really understand the market, that industry, what that means is you won't know when to cash out, right? And that is the problem people have. So my advice is if you wanna get into an industry, do research, get into a market, do your research and see how everything's playing out. Yeah, always play what you know, I Brooker says. Indeed. Huckleberry, how are you doing? Sorry, I'm late, everyone. What did I miss? Personal finance discussion. Electric shepherd, 86, how are you doing? Evening, Chicho, I'm so financially economically illiterate. What would be your advice to someone like myself who would like to? My question to you is have you ever bought something at a really good price? Shepherd, electric shepherd? Like you must know something about a certain market. Like if you're a gamer, do you know if there's any games that have gone up in value or gone down in value? Collectibles. If you're in recreation, is there anything associated there? If you're in the film industry, if you're working on film, basically investing, personal finance is managing your money. The first thing you have to understand, gang, if you want financial independence, and this is what this is about, financial independence, irrelevant of what you wanna do in the world. If you wanna build hotels and have tons of real estate around the world, that's your understanding of what financial independence is. You have to reach that stage. If you wanna live in a modest home and read your books and have a family and just do your own thing and have your garden, that's your idea of what financial independence is. So financial independence is different for everyone as well, okay? But one thing you have to appreciate is you acquire knowledge about markets and investing with time because you have to live your life, right? But the best advice I can give you is make sure you're not over, you're not spending more than you're bringing in, right? Our current economic system is built on debt, okay? That's a major problem, by the way, has a serious problems associated with it. It was fine in Dandy when the debts were very small, right? But now that the debt is just over the top, it's unsustainable. That's why they're talking about the great reset and stuff like this, right? Bond's a bad place to be and whatnot, right? A lot of governments and counties and cities are bankrupt. They're selling their infrastructures to foreign lands and capital and stuff like this, just disaster, right? But one thing you should do for yourself, if you make $2,000 a month, let's say, right? Don't be spending $2,500 a month, okay? That's just on a regular basis every month, right? Every now and then you might have to spend $3,000. You earn a negative. You should have a little bit of savings. You should have a certain amount of investing, right? So personal finance, the first order of business is balance your books. Don't go into debt. Preferably build a little bit of surplus. Now, if you're building a little bit of surplus, you don't know what to do with this. Put it on the side, right? Put it on the side. Once your surplus reaches a level where you're like, okay, I have money there. I could take a vacation, you know, go party my ass off or something like that. That's fine and then you're acquiring experience, but a lot of people just function on that basis. And that's okay. That's their own life they want to do. They balance their books, they build a little surplus and whatever surplus they have, you know, they take a certain percentage of that and go vacation and stuff like this. And they hope that by the time they retire, they're gonna have enough money to retire on. And they're not investing this money. If you're not investing your money, you're foolish because just by saving, you will be bankrupt. You'll be homeless most likely. We've gone past the stage of just being able to in our, in a Western current economic system anyway, for now, and this is immediate, right? A year from now might change. We've moved away from, unless you're making mint coin, right? We moved away from a time where you can just park your money and be able to retire on interest gain from that and your bank account. You need to be able to invest that money. That's why we're seeing all this rising in assets, right? So, you know, I'm sort of dodging the question, where to start? The best place to start is look at your own finances, balance your budget, build up a surplus. Once you've built up a surplus, look into what you love, right? And then look into how you can invest in what you love, right? Love movies, right? Or games, a lot of people, we're on Twitch. A lot of people are gamers, right? If you like games, right? A lot of gamers build their own computers. So you're building computers. You know who's coming up with the best chips, best graphic cards, best computers, best whatever, right? So if the buzz in the gaming industry is, Nvidia has this graphic cards, which is phenomenal, or AMD has these chips, which are phenomenal, or whatever it is, right? Or this company's bringing out headsets and mics that are the best that no one can do anything about. And you buy this product and you think it's mom's apple pie, it's phenomenal, right? One place you can invest in or do your research and look into that company, is this company public? If it's public, look at what its share value is doing. If this is something brand new that I've introduced and their share value is flat like this, right? And they haven't even realized the initial gains on this new product that they're releasing and everybody's buying it, that means you got insider information, buy stocks in that company, try it out. You might lose everything, but don't put everything in it. Play around a little bit, get to know what the markets are. Really, invest in what you experience in your life and what you see, what you know, okay? Eye broker, my advice. Crypto is more like gambling than investing. I agree with brokers, just gambling. It still doesn't have proper intrinsic value. The intrinsic value is the anonymity and the freedom to trade, but that freedom has been slowly taken away. But the stock market is gambling as well, by the way. What's your take on real estate? It really depends on where the real estate, like I mentioned, I wouldn't be buying property in New York City. I wouldn't be buying property. Actually, Vancouver is a different story. There's a huge exodus out of Hong Kong right now and unfortunately for Canadians that first time buyers, apartments or houses or whatever they wanted to get, we might see a huge influx of Hong Kong residents, Hong Kong money coming into Vancouver and it's going into the UK. So UK and Vancouver and certain hubs where a lot of Hong Kong money moves to might see a huge increase in real estate prices, right? And New York will not be one of them, okay? So real estate depends and commercial real estate, get the hell out of commercial real estate, commercial real estate is about to do a major belly flop, right? Back in 2014, broker says I lost 100,000 euros in one night just because I didn't take my funds out of the, oh, Mount Gox, early crap, brother. Damn, the US government took all your bitcoins and they auctioned them off. Elder God, they take Bitcoin in the DW of course. I know nothing about this. Crypto doesn't have dynamic settings of value. That is why they depend on fiat indeed. Shit, I better buy some Batman comics. Five emotes shared, cool. Gifted shared rewards to five other chats, nice. Anonymous gifted Elder God a tier one sub, awesome. Thank you, anonymous. I appreciate it. I'd appreciate the gifted shared rewards to five other in chat, very nice. Sleep away, chichou. Don't worry, I'm planning on taking this as financial advice. I just, I almost said not taking this. I just want to begin to track some cannabis stocks. Look into Tilray, okay? Look into, Tilray just merged with another company in Toronto. So look into that as well, the news from that. And all you got to do, and then there's another one that's cannabis hemp cigarettes out of BC as well. Salut, gang. And all you got to do, by the way, sleepy waves, go into some financial websites, type in Tilray, right? And then there's Canopy, is interesting as well. They were one of, well, Canopy's having financial problems, I think. A lot of these things are functioning on a negative, by the way, right? They depend on money coming in. So be careful, right? If the tap stop, these things might do another serious dive, right? But it is an emerging industry. But one thing you can do is, if you're interested in a company, you find a company that is in the industry you're interested in, right? Do a search for the stock, look at it, and then look at the news attached to that. And read up on the news that's being released related to the company that you're looking up. And in those news releases, they will, not the official company news releases, but analysis news releases, they'll talk about their competitors, right? Or other companies in the same industry and start looking at those. That's how you go follow the branch, right? So just do it that way. Fire, flower, virtual aviation channel. Kebabs, how you doing? Chico, thoughts on buying Bitcoin in his current state? Should I buy now and hold or wait for a dip and buy then? Look, man, I'll say this. When it was in the high teens, I said that Bitcoin can do a serious major pop-up double. Go anywhere between 35 to 45,000, right? In a short period of time. It's doing that move right now. Does it still have legs? Yeah, it's got legs. Okay, but if you buy the 28,000, 30,000, it goes up to 40,000, right? That's a quarter. That's a third, 30% gain, right? Are you still gonna hold, wait for it to come, a 30% gain, you can play any market you want. So if you're looking for the long, long ass term, Kebabs, I can't tell people to buy and sell because if I say buy now, I might decide that it's a good time to sell tomorrow, but we're not doing a current immense live stream, right? I don't know who's buying or selling based on what I say, right? So let's say it's a great time to sell tomorrow or for the next week. And then three weeks from now, it's lower than what it is now. And then people pop up and say, oh, look, it went down. I go, well, shit, how come you didn't sell? Right, I know this because I used to give advice to people and I realized we all don't look at the same thing in the same way, right? And gang, free assange, free assange, free assange.

Spartan 3004, seek professional advice indeed and be careful with that professional advice. A lot of the professional advice me and you are gonna receive are just gonna be low hanging, low people on the totem pole, right? They're, they get the last word. They're being told what the pump, right? But seek professional advice. A lot of banks will not charge you and they won't to talk to their financial advisors. Go to like three or four, go walk into a bank or a credit union and say, I wanna, I'm thinking about investing in the markets, in the stock market or starting a fund. And then they'll ask you some question. How, you know, what's your name and stuff? You can be anonymous to a certain degree. You can just say, look, I'm not comfortable telling you how much money I have or anything like this. I just wanna see what services you guys provide, right? And then they'll ask you, well, we need to know what your risk tolerance is and how much capital you have. You can say, my risk tolerance is medium or high. That means you can afford to be in fast moving things or your list tolerance is low. There's three levels really, low, medium and high, right? Choose your poison, right? Say it's high and let's say you have, you're looking to invest around $50,000 in this first wave of investment. Walk in, listen to these financial advisors. They'll ask you what your plan, what you envision yourself to be in the future, 20 years from now, what your goals are, what your expenses are, how much income you're bringing in. They'll start asking this stuff. Anything you're not comfortable in answering, don't answer them. And just say, look, I'm living a comfortable life. Okay, you can say your own property, you don't own property up to you. You can put a value on it. Walk in with a plan, right? And start talking to these financial advisors. For the first one you get into, you won't know anything. You won't know too much. And they'll probably be able to know that you don't know too much, right? But because they're not 100% sure and they're looking to get your money, keep that in mind, they want you to put money with them, right? Because they get money. Income, right? So they'll go, okay, they can't read this. So the initial person might pass you down to a lower level person. That's fine. Learn from that exchange of information, right? Fine tune your skills for the next bank you go talk to, right? And then walk in, now you're better prepared. It's like going to an interview. Do it again, do it again. There's tons of banks in most cities. Go do it again. And then there's private investment companies. Do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again. That's like going to school and learning terminology, learning how the game is played. That's your education. So when you're balancing your budget, making sure you're not spending more than you're bringing in and you're building a little bit of capital on the side, treat yourself to a lunch when you go out to eat, right? Go have a lunch, make it a day or make it an afternoon with someone, your partner by yourself or with a friend or whatever, right? That's you spending money to get an education, right? You're not paying the school to do it, right? What you're investing is your time and you're spending money for a lunch and a drink and maybe a good time with a friend. Go there with a friend. Say, hey, there's two of you guys. You want to invest some money, come up with a plan and see where it goes, right? Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek information, okay? Prabhi, Sean, how does your research process look like or websites you recommend for investing in US cannabis industries? Right now I'm just looking in the stock market, right? What I do for the research, I basically look at a certain company, cannabis company that I know, right? And then I follow them, I look at their financials and I follow the news coming out on a certain company, right? So when I find a company, I don't go, and I don't buy now, right? No, right? Do a little research, follow that company for a while, listen to the news reports, right? Listen to what they're releasing, what the analysts are saying about that company. From there, you're gonna learn about the other companies. That's how you learn about an industry, right? And then all of a sudden, a little bit of time spent following a certain company on the stock market can get you a lot of information, a lot of information. Gratias, Ciccio, do you think there's an equity bubble with these, indeed, I think there's a bubble in everything. I think the stock market is a huge bubble. And by the way, gang, keep this in mind, right? You don't, when you go to invest somewhere, they'll say all of these first-time financial advisors, they're riding the wave up, right? Their main strategy is to make money with the stock price going up. Realize that you can also make money with the stock price going down, right? So you don't have to just make your money on the way up, which is what they're trying to get people to do. You can make it on the way down. You can go invest in certain funds where they're buying a certain stock on the stock market, right? And what they're doing is they're writing calls. So they don't expect the stock price to go up, right? But they're writing a derivative, which is called something calls, which is we'll get into later in future videos that we're gonna do, right? And what they're doing is they're writing the stuff off and they're scraping off anywhere between, it depends how they're managing it. If they're managing it well, they can scrape anywhere between five to 10% per year by doing this, right? And then the fund managers will take half of that cut or let's say the bank will take a third of that cut. The fund managers will take a third of that cut and they'll pass a third of that to you, which is you may end up making three to 4% gains per year, right? Electric Shepherd, thank you for your answer. Show my pleasure, my pleasure. I will definitely seek out that playlist, cool. My friend is coming to the UK from Hong Kong. Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of, there's hundreds of thousands of people gonna be pulling out of Hong Kong. Legendary Rob Boss, how are you doing? I mean, most any purchase is gambling, if you think about it. You're always taking a risk, no matter if you are investing in food from the grocery store or buying a car. Make educated purposes to mitigate and reduce risk, yeah. And gang, everybody gets burned. Everybody gets burned, I've been burned, you've been burned, right? Learn from your mistakes. Don't dwell on it, don't be afraid to put your feet in the water again, right? Everybody gets burned, just learn from it, right? Spartan, read the wealthy barber. Kebabs, all Gucci show, I'll take my 20K to the casino and put it on red, thanks. Maybe, remember if you put it on red, depending if it's old school roulette tables or the newer roulette tables introduced in the 80s, or I believe in the 80s, it either has one zero or two zeros. If it's got two zeros, your probability of winning is less. If it's got a one zero, your probability of winning is more, right? And your probability of winning is still less than the casino. Elder God, 10,000 K on Bitcoin, I really want to invest. Elder God, you should have gone in when I was telling you about it earlier. Hey, Chico, I don't catch too many streams, but I appreciate your positively in my YouTube's, my pleasure. Daking, ducking, staying, ducking, ducking, daking, staying, ducking. Again, free aside, free aside, free aside, Julien Assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, please see our Julien Assange and WikiLeaks playlist. R.S. Blundan. Is there any common wisdom on what percent to set up my 401K for? On what percent? I'm not sure what you mean by on what percent. Gracos, are these funds just collecting option premiums? Basically, yeah, yeah. They're letting, what they're doing is the stock price is doing this. Let's say stock is sitting at $20, right? They're writing calls on at $21, let's say. Let's say the beta for the stock is like zero, it doesn't move, right? It's just stable, right? Or whatever the beta value is, right? Let's say it doesn't move, okay? If it doesn't move, if you're writing a call at $21, right? Basically what you're doing is you're collecting the options premium. Let the calls expire and you grab it or sell the calls at some point if you want. And individuals can do this, right? Elder God. And some people just straddle the stocks, right? But I was holding for my second pub. Elder God says I know, but I was holding for my second pub. But that's frozen now. Oh no, is it crap? Shoot. Right now, maybe, maybe. But you gotta be quick on the trigger. Bread and apple, crab, apple, butter. And good snack. Good snack. Salute gang. And gang, there's a lot of stuff going on internationally, right? On the international markets with international, like the global economics right now is crazy. You have to have that perspective in mind with this, with these lockdowns, right? There's gonna be a serious collapse in a lot of different industries. When the dust settles in this, as long as we don't allow centralized power to take everything, right? We come out of this, if we're able to come out of this with more freedoms, you're gonna see a huge boom in the global economy, right? So you can position yourself to be in the right place. If centralized power and centralized banks eliminate cash and take away our freedoms and silence us and all this jazz, we're into some dark times. And we're gonna go into the dark times no matter what for the next one to two years. So adjust accordingly. Elder God, on my dark web visits, I come across BC as currency, Bitcoin as currency, yeah. Right? Unrightfully so. Like, if you're tech savvy, if you understand what fiat currency is, if you're to a certain degree self-employed or to a certain degree have a product that you can exchange with someone, product or service that you can exchange with someone without going through the banking institutions, a media area or governments or anything like this between a person and another individual and you both accept cryptocurrencies, why wouldn't you trade your services or your product with crypto? Why wouldn't you, right? Unless you're just holding crypto because it's gonna go up, Bitcoin's gonna go up. But if you're gonna buy something, right? The value, let's say value of Bitcoin is $30,000 right now, which it is almost, right? So Bitcoin is $30,000. You wanna buy something of $30,000. Now you have the choice to send $30,000 to this individual in fiat currency or $30,000 in Bitcoin to this individual. Right? Doesn't matter to you which one you do to a certain degree. If you can write off either fully or partially the $30,000 amount that you're sending to buy this product or service from this individual on your books, right? If you have a company or individually, if you can write that off against your income, right? Then you're getting a discount on that $30,000 because that, by writing that off, that kicks you down into a lower tax bracket and you can write the $30,000 off of your income or your capital gains and not pay tax on that. So you probably get back if you do it properly at least 10 to $15,000 from that $30,000, right? Or five to $15,000, right? So this $30,000 service or product is not costing you $30,000, it's costing you anywhere between $15,000 to $25,000, right? If you do it with Bitcoin without going through exchanges, you're doing it directly, then you can't write that off. So everything has its disadvantages. On the other hand, if you can't write that off, the $30,000 and with the fiat currency, you're just gonna be spending the $30,000, right? And if you have Bitcoin and you think Bitcoin is at a peak right now, it's gonna drop, right? And this Bitcoin is not on the books and you can directly send that over to this individual to receive the service or product. And if Bitcoin is at $30,000 and you think it's gonna stop there and come down, then why wouldn't you do the Bitcoin? It's off the books. All of a sudden you have $30,000 asset that increases your wealth, but it's off the books, right? It's private, right? You have anonymity for that asset. And if Bitcoin ends up dropping, you still have $30,000 where you can buy back in. Let's say it goes down to $18,000. Now you can buy back into Bitcoin. Ooh, now you sort of did the same thing that you would have done with the cash writing off against taxes, but instead of writing off, you're getting gains, right? So it really depends on how you wanna play the market, okay? That's why personal finance is so personal. Gracious, am I pronouncing this right? Gracious, I'm too afraid of being blown out by making calls. Yeah, you could get blown out, but here's the thing. Look, I wouldn't recommend writing, making any short naked shorts, right? Or naked calls, naked puts, right? If you wanna write a call, make sure you have that stock. Write it against stocks that you have. Don't, unless you're big time player and you have the asset. If you're doing naked buys and sells, that's huge risk. By the way, gang, thank you for the follows. Thank you for the subs. Apologies if I'm not mentioning them as they are coming in, but I sort of trying to stay focused on what I'm saying says it can't, I just wanna make sure I'm answering people correctly, right? All along my trust for my government has decreased so much that going deep is almost a preferred choice, yeah. And by the way, gang, if you live in a country where you actually, I don't care where you live, if you actually have faith in this economic system in the Western world anyway that we live under, you're confused, right? There is, there has been major turmoil taking place, but this is not going to stabilize. It's, there's a lot of things happening, right? No, I mean, right now, like for example, in a lot of Western countries, the citizens of those countries are being paid, right? To stay home, to not go to work, which is, you know, if the government tells you you can't go to work, they better cover you, right? I don't know what's going on in the United States, like they're not, I mean, that's crazy, but if they're preventing you from earning an income, then they have an obligation to make sure you're covered, but make sure you don't stay in this state. You don't want to be dependent on a centralized government for your life. That's a very dangerous place that you're putting yourself and your family in, right? So I mentioned this to a lot of people when this whole thing came about, and people said, oh, you know, I make more money now than I did when I was working because, you know, depending on not in the United States, but in Canada and other parts of the world, oh, this is great, I'm just staying at home playing video games and doing this and doing this and doing this, I said, look, Matt, if you're taking this money and you're not retraining yourself, you're not reinvesting in yourself, right? If you don't realize that this thing's not gonna continue the way it is right now, and if it does, your money's gonna be devalued and you're gonna be coming relevant, if you're not taking that money and educating yourself and learning about new things, you're being foolish, okay? Oh my God, capitalism in the UK must be dying the way people are trying to amass funds at the moment. Yeah, people are scared, Epstein, how are you doing? Hope you're doing well. Remember, we're doing personal finance. We keep politics in politics streams, right? Politics. Please keep politics and other heavy subjects to their respective streams, even though investing in personal finance is heavy to a certain degree, but you shouldn't treat it as being heavy. You should treat it as being just an aspect of life that is important that you need to know. Hey, I like money. Ha ha ha, Epstein, I bet you do. I bet you do. Crab apple butter, homemade. And one of the best investments you can make is eat well, eat healthy, so tart. Thank you very much for the follows, guy. I was in politics, it was a related field. It was indeed a funny, funny. What are you guys investing in, by the way? What are you guys investing in? I've had students that have been gamers, right? And when I talk to them, and I talk to their parents and stuff, and their parents, when the stock market, they're going all this, this, this, I go look, man. You guys should listen to your kids if they're gamers, because some of the best investments that could have been made in the stock market would have been in gaming companies. Not necessarily because of gaming, but because of the chips that they were selling for crypto because they were fast, right? So a lot of parents were like trusting investment, investment advisors, instead of their kids, watching what their kids are buying. All right, that's one of the best things you can do. Just look around to see who's consuming what. A flying kiwi, hmm, you're exactly right, Yucho. I'm not sure what I'm right about, but good, I hope. But take it with a grain of salt. No investments, gang? What are you guys investing in? Oh my God, I can take myself out of any situation, but also right into the situation. I'm looking at investing in a platform. Aha, yeah, and there's going to be alternate platforms popping up, right? Question is, how do I invest in those? Hmm, flying kiwi, you mean about the gaming thing? Yeah, I have some money that way. Yeah, really, like I've tutored a lot of gamers in my life, and man, they're on top of it. What's the newest chips coming out? The graphics cards coming out. Which company is putting out the best product? Who's buying what? Like, if you're a gamer and you're seeing all this, do you have some allowance money sitting on the side? Have a talk with your parents. Hey, mom, dad, you guys are paying a lot of money for these investment advisors to manage your money, but I'm seeing some of the most important new tech hitting the markets, and I know what people are consuming. So why don't you take a small percentage of that money that you're putting into the bank and giving it to these financial advisors that are taking a MIR or MER, whatever percent, they're only giving you 1% or whatever it is. Why don't you open up a little account, put a little bit of money in there. I'll tell you which companies are doing really well right now, and we can sit down together and take a look at these companies and listen to their quarterly reports and read their financials. I'll learn mathematics. I'll learn about economics and investing. You guys might get ideas on where you can put your money. And if that company does well, I want to kick back. Right? How about a 10% kickback? Your parents might go, oh actually, you should say 20%, right? Your parents might go 20% kickback. You say, yeah, because you know, you're educating me and this is a lesson for me. And they go, oh, I don't know about that. Or they might say, okay, right? If they say no, maybe you can get them down to 10%, right? Or they'll get you down to 10%. Take whatever, doesn't make a difference. It's a learning process. Once you get them hooked, once you get them hooked, let's say you find one company or two companies that do well. Your parents are like, yeah, this is great. Our son's daughter, our family's genius, right? And then they come out and say, okay, we got these ones. What else you got? Now you can renegotiate, right? If they said they talk you down to 10%, you're only making 10% on their profit, right? 10%, so if they invest $1,000, they make $2,000, 10% of the gains is $100, you get $100, right? You might renegotiate and say, listen, that was a lot of work for my end. It's not worth it for me for just 10%. I want 30% now, just like ice cream salespeople, right? An ice cream man in general gets around 30, a third of what they sell they keep, right? I know this because I was an ice cream man at one point in my life, right? So you could just say 30%. If they say no, you can say it's okay. I'm not interested. But if they're hooked, they'll say, okay, money stays in the family, better in the family than in the bank, right? Prabhi, Sean, Chicho, I think you should make an investing channel in Discord. This is investing channel, isn't this? Personal finance? I don't know. I thought that's what I was doing, Prabhi, Sean. Oh, on Discord, I thought you said Twitch for a second. Investing, we have personal finance channel, don't we? Elder God, I think so. But we could make an investing one as well and people can recommend stocks and whatnot. If you remind us, Prabhi, I'll do it or one of us will do it, one of the mods will do it. Gratias, Chicho, what book would you recommend for a new investor? I haven't read any books on investing. All of my experience, all of my knowledge is through experience. I've learned through doing, not through reading, in regards to investing anyway. Not true, not books anyway. I've read a lot of articles, analysis, quarterly reports from, like this is like 20 years ago I got into this, 22 years ago I got into this, right? Quarterly reports from the financials of companies and stuff, I have to relearn all that stuff, right? But this is the way I would recommend. Follow a handful of stocks, five stocks, right? Follow five stocks, read their news, their news release says, the company's news release, listen to their quarterly reports or their yearly reports, you can tune in and listen to them live, right? Do that, listen to the Q and A, very important, listen to, read the analysts reports and look at their competition. You will learn more about trading and the markets doing that than you would learn in reading a book, right? And do, and if you think, oh, this company's undervalued, don't, if you don't know how to do it, don't buy the stock, but make a little note for yourself or hopefully you know how to use a spreadsheet. By the way, spreadsheet is a must. If you're going into investing and you don't know how to use a spreadsheet, stop. Learn how to use a spreadsheet before you do anything else, right? Like those people that don't even know how to use a spreadsheet that think they can invest. How can you invest if you don't know how to use a spreadsheet? Like, really? But make a spreadsheet and say, okay, this stock I would have bought at this time at this price. And then check back a month, two months, three months, a year, if you're gonna follow it for a while, see how you would have done. If you're doing well in all five, do what you're doing, you're doing well, right? And when you have the money, do it for real. I want to destroy Facebook, Alderaan says. I want to dig up MySpace from the, oh, MySpace. I wish MySpace was still around. It is still around, but I wish MySpace was what people were using instead of Facebook. MySpace was way more free speech, anonymity and all that jazz. A flying kiwi, there doesn't seem to be an investing personal finance channel. Oh, there isn't, there's economics. Okay, a flying kiwi will create one. We'll put it in heavy folder. Just put a reminder for me or for us on Discord and I will make one. We have an economics one or an economy one, but not an investing personal finance. We do. And gang, we have a Discord page if you're curious. Discord. And you can reach our Discord page through that. You can go to our Twitch channel anytime in the chat and type an exclamation mark. Discord and the link will pop up and it is on the page as well, the bottom of our main page. And people are having a nice discussion. Weedrum, hello, hello, how are you doing? Unfortunately, I can't read Farsi. I know, I used to be able to but I forgot. Kaafmet Mika, I have 90% of my money in crypto and 5% of physical gold. Like 80% Bitcoin and 20% altcoins, okay? I would diversify, I tell you the truth, right? I would, it depends like how much it is. If 95% of your money is what you've been able to save up for a month, that's okay. If 95% of your money is all your savings you've accumulated over the last 20 years, you should diversify. If it's only taking you a month to put all your money into this, that's okay. You can do that again next month, right? But I would diversify. And there's nothing stopping you from taking money off the table and putting it back in again, right? So, but just, if you like the market, you don't have to go all out. You can just stay partially in, right? Intrepid, how are you doing it, Chichou? How's things, my friend? Doing well, brother, I hope you're doing well. How goes everything? Are you out yet or are you still serving? If I remember, you're a military, right? How's the drumming going, by the way? You were drumming, weren't you? I hope things are going well with you, brother. I hope things are going well. Crazy times indeed. Crab apple butter, more crab apple butter. I hope you're snacking well, gang. I hope you're snacking well. Salud, nice and tart, nice and tart, nice and tart. We're almost coming up two hours, gang. Fun stream, way chiller than yesterday's stream. Yesterday went hard with current events, right? Especially since we know we're gonna upload that to YouTube. We're gonna let loose a little bit, but I think I'm gonna take it easy a little bit from next time. And gang, don't forget, free Assange, free Assange, free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist. There's been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, please see our Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist. Sub, sub, sub, oh, which sub? Heavy folder, what? Is that what we're talking about? I don't know, and by the way, gang, we do have a personal finance and investing playlist on YouTube and we've loaded a lot of those videos up on BitShoot as well. And we do have a cryptocurrency playlist on YouTube and we've loaded a lot of those videos on BitShoot as well. And they are really good videos on there. Okay, Epstein, I don't really know I should invest or pay my student loans. It's about 12,000K. What do? If your student loans, I'm assuming you're paying very, very low interest, right? It really depends on what your interest is on those student loans, what your minimum payment is on those student loans. And if you don't pay off the student loans, then what are you doing with your money? If you're blowing your money, right? Partying your ass off, you're not investing that money to be get money, then sure, start paying off your student loan, get out of debt, right? Because at some point interest rates are gonna go through the roof, right? But if you're taking that money and getting a higher return on the investment than you would have paid interest on the student loan, then keep that going, right? Intrepid, wow, that was quite some time ago, ha ha. But no, I never ended up going in. I'm an iron worker now with my old man and brother, nice. Got to get up for work in about three hours, three hours. Dude, go to sleep, what are you doing up? Go to sleep, go to sleep. We're almost ending the stream as well, Intrepid. And tell you the truth, I'm glad you didn't go in, brother. I'm glad you didn't go in, okay. I've seen, I'm paying 80%, 80 per month right now. 80 per month, but that doesn't mean like, is that the bare minimum? So some people just pay the interest, right? Some people have student loans and all they do is just they're servicing the debt. So all they do every month, they just pay the interest. So that $12,000, which is crazy, right? So that $12,000 that they have in debt, right? Stays at $12,000 and every month they just pay $80 or whatever the interest is to service that debt. So that debt never goes down. So 20 years from now, whatever interest rates you're doing, you're gonna be paying more per interest and you're still gonna owe that money. Not the best way to manage your finances. You love the book Ready Player One, we watched a movie. I have never read the book. You must be a fascist, chicho. Chicho, you seem like someone familiar with permaculture. I grew, you're talking about food, yes? That insane. Oh my God, that movie was great. Design, how so? You must beef, I'm gonna say you must beef ascii, you must beef ascii. What do you mean permaculture, design? Funky, lunky. In what way? Like funky, lunky, it's really cool how they're making that game based off it. Are they making a game based off the book? That must be, I guess. I wanna do permaculture. Permaculture, permaculture is a set of design principles centered on whole systems thinking simultaneously, so holistically. Or directly utilizing the pattern, resilient features observed in natural ecosystems, yeah. I do look at everything through a holistic point of view for sure. Cheryl, permaculture is awesome. Cheryl, you know me. Do I know about permaculture? You found out about it on TikTok, funky, lunky. Really, is that what you found out about it, that's cool. At least parts, I know a little bit, not much. I have friends that do the design. Like, I'm lucky. I live in an area where working in harmony with nature is a big topic. Really, I know people who've designed their own homes who are using black water going through the system, they have ponds going, heating their water through compost, and I've seen some of these designs. It's pretty cool. Would you believe that half an acre lot could feed 200 families? Yeah, not everything. You couldn't feed them everything, right? Partially, you could feed a lot, right? You could, but then you would have to supplement the diet. I don't know, half an acre, but you could grow a lot of vegetables in half an acre. But you also need your protein. You also need other things, right? Cheryl, I'd have meant to say much more than you realize. Funky larky, yeah, love a lot. I don't know if I should invest in the land. Still skeptical, but it seems like a real cool idea. Rob. Ling. Liguni horny. I got into, I put like $50 into it, 30% profit. So far, earth through IO is pretty cool, pretty good. Really? They got the whole thing going? Intrepid. What would your advice be for a couple of wanting to get out of the parent's house in the next few years, but not knowing whether or not getting an apartment or something like that would be the best route? I get worried when it comes to renting and whatnot, because I want to make sure you can pay for all the necessities, but save at the same time. Here's the thing, Intrepid, there's nothing wrong. As long as you have a really good relationship with family and stuff like this, there's nothing wrong with moving out and renting a space and learning how that process works. So when you step away from the nest, when you rent a place, all of a sudden you learn, it's sort of an education process. Now make sure you're not going to go into a hole and if you need to, you can move back again. Make sure you have that deal going on because you might have not accounted for anything, but you can do it in waves, right? Do it in the waves, see how it works out. Maybe you have to downsize, maybe you can upsize, right? Saving is important for sure, but more important is investing. Make sure you know how to preserve, and before investing is preserving your capital, right? Don't blow your money, which is really just balancing the books. My advice would be, look into the markets, don't go overboard Intrepid. Don't, if you're going to move into an apartment, if you're going to first of all buy, look at the apartment, look into the monthly fees. Sometimes they can break you, right? But if you're going to rent some place, don't go extravagant right off the bat. Go slow, don't go rent a place or buy a place and buy a ton of furniture. That's one of the things that's a lot, buy tons of furniture. All of a sudden you got all these payments you have to make, you got all this furniture you got to deal with. Go low, low end, right? Go in slowly, it's just like anything. Just put your feet into the water slowly and get a feel for what it is that you really want. Go for it. I started investing in geothermal greenhouse back in September. Just finished the build last week. Awesome, that's a good thing to do. You save a lot of money growing your own food. 100% of their diet, protein included. Really, that's pretty good. On half an acre, 200 people, that's pretty damn good. Horny, yes. You should check it out. What are we checking out? How would that be? Rotational grazing, cool. Made fresh daily. Sorry, just got up to chat. But you were the one talking about 200 families in half an acre. That's what you must be, you must be fasky. Look up Cornish Cross. I was 95% in crypto. I started saving four years ago and is in my late 20s. Cool. I wouldn't keep 95% in crypto, brother or sister, of course. I wouldn't. And chickens, chickens are good for sure. Starting with renting at an Airbnb. Cheryl says, can't rotational graze on half an acre for 200 people without killing the soil, even Cornish Cross without goats or somewhere inputs. I'm not sure of renting at an Airbnb is a cost effective way of renting. Have I read the Bitcoin standard, the white sheets from, what's his name? Mosh, whatever? Yeah, yeah. I put out a lot of videos on crypto. I was into Bitcoin in 2010. I was even mining Bitcoin in 2010. Also go where there are lots of opportunities. Yeah, chickens. Cheryl, yes. Yeah, maybe this earth is done and virtual is next. I hope not. Yeah, it's a site you can, or it's a site where you can use to invest in virtual land. It's pretty good. It's kind of like Ready Player One, huh, cool. And that is a possibility for sure. Tech, we're just still at the beginning stages of tech. There's a legacy tech companies out there. YouTube is a legacy tech company now, right? There's huge exodus out of YouTube, right? There's a lot of disruptive animation kicking in, virtual earth. There's gamers that make money off games. It is possible, sure. It's from a guy called, not the white paper, not the white paper. Okay. I don't know. I've read a lot of Bitcoin stuff. Like again, I got into it early. It is comparing Bitcoin to the gold standard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know about that. About the history of money. Yeah, are we talking about Nick Szabo? Kaft Met Fika? Are you talking about Nick Szabo? Money to choose. Gang, we're also, no, but Nick is also great. Nick is fantastic, yeah. I put out a playlist. If you go to, here, let me find it for you. Kaft Met, you'll like this. You'll like this. Here's my personal finance playlist. Let me find it for you. Personal finance playlist. Where's my personal finance playlist? Personal finance. Where is it? Where is it? Where is there it is? Here's my personal finance playlist. Okay. Doink. Now, in that playlist, take a look at, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. You can look at everything if you want. Look into personal finance, currency, money, and the economy part one and part two. I mentioned Nick Szabo's paper, the history of money in this video in part one. And then follow this up with part two. And that's where I do the comparison with Bitcoin and whatnot. These videos are phenomenal, by the way, gang. I'm just letting you know. I'm tooting my own horn, but they're fantastic. Okay. Oops, sorry about that. This video, and then follow it up with the second video. Cool. I will check it out. And if you want, you can start off from the top. The first eight videos, I really planned out really well just to make sure it was solid information for people to follow regarding personal finance. Take what I say in those videos to heart. Okay. Really. And we do have a cryptocurrency playlist as well, of course. Been lurking tonight, having trouble sleeping again, twitching Jason. Do some meditation, twitching Jason. By the way, gang, I've been doing the standing meditation every day now. So I'm 10 days in a row right now. And I'm up to 22 minutes holding the standing meditation, the Shigong standing meditation. Highly recommend, highly recommend. Right? There's one day where we're running short on time so I cut it short, but still did it. Okay. Intensity, twitching Jason. I recently paid off my panel to mate, student loan, student loan. So I have my last one left sitting at 4.4% interest. Sort of passively looking for something I might be able to invest in to outpace that interest rate over the next six months. I know it's a bit of a long shot. It could be a bit of a long shot. If you don't, if you're not actively flipping. Okay. And gang, don't forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, please see our Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist. Twitching Jason. Otherwise, with serious intensity, I should be able to pay off the last loan by June and be completely that free. Twitching Jason. Unless you're willing to go short on certain things because things are in a bubble, I would say pay off your debt. Really, 22 minutes exactly. 22 minutes. I don't, I'm not looking at a clock. So when I go to do the meditation, I, by the time I get into my position, I give it a minute plus. And then when I finish the meditation, I do a quick little stretch and I check the time. So 22 minutes, 21, 22 plus or minus. Gang, let's call the stream. Thank you for being here. Thank you for the follows, gang. Thank you for the subs. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

It's the last month of the year and if you haven't gone outside yet, you definitely should because the sky has tons of presents to give you. This is what's up for December 2015. The final month of 2015 is going to be giving us quite a lot to look forward to, including a difficult planet, a beautiful nebula, a solstice celebration, and the most consistently awesome meteor shower of the last half century. So, while I talk about it, let's get in it. This is what you have to look forward to for December 2015. First up, the great nebula and Orion M42. Although included in last month's What's Up, it's a target that is too beautiful not to include throughout the entire winter. As was mentioned, a telescope will bring out the nebulous cloud-like detail, binoculars work as well, and even in light-polluted Los Angeles, it's possible to just barely identify M42 with your naked eye. With enough exposure and tweaking, even a basic DSLR attached to your telescope can yield great detail. Our next target is the planet Uranus. And yes, that's how you pronounce it, Uranus. The seventh planet from the Sun, its current distance is just under three billion kilometers away from the Earth. That distance means Uranus is quite a difficult target, a challenge even for experienced astronomers. It currently sits in the constellation Pisces. Binoculars are a requirement. A small telescope should yield you a small greenish blue disc, but don't expect to see any detail, even with a big telescope. Our third target, NGC 2264, the Christmas Tree Cluster. How festive! A cluster of stars that just so happens to appear in the shape of a Christmas tree. And its best time for visibility is December? You'll need a telescope to capture this target that sits a small 2600 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. An easy way to find the Christmas Tree Cluster is to look for the bright star Sirius and then move 20 degrees to the northwest. Another meteor shower is occurring this month, the Geminids. The remnants of an asteroid, 3200 Phaethon, are strewn about the inner solar system in a plume that the Earth crashes through every year in mid-December. Known for their slow speed across the sky and consistently delivering excellent shows year after year, the Geminids are best enjoyed like all meteor showers, a minimum 50 miles away from city lights. Expect a good show averaging about 120 meteors per hour. This is the highest average rate of all known meteor showers. Happy Winter Solstice to the Northern Hemisphere and happy Summer Solstice to our viewers in the Southern Hemisphere. It officially occurs December 22nd at 4.48 a.m. Coordinated Universal Time. And here's your moon phases for December 2015. Thanks for watching this space pod. I'm Jared Head. Which of these targets do you look forward to seeing? Well, let me know in the comments below. And don't forget to like and subscribe and follow us. We've also got a new formula for our Patreon campaign. We're now moving to a monthly system and have new milestones and rewards. And in fact, just yesterday we reached our first milestone. Check it out as we approach 2016 and consider contributing to our Patreon campaign. That way we can bring the wonders of the universe to all who may want to watch. So, until the next space pod, keep exploring.

Aşağımız xeyr, dəyirli kanunış izləyiciləri kanunış efirində bu gün 29-u Sintiabr 2022-ci tarix olan çox söz proqramının canlı bağlandsında xoş gördək sizdəri. Dəyirli izləyiciləri kiyevə bağlanrı Ukrayna da son durum necə, Rusiya dən çox materiallar almışı, Rusiya əhali böylüş böylüş qasır, daçır. Ölkə sərədində sosii olup, ölkədə hətta mən təxminən bir saat öncə masqı elə danışdım. Mızla dəli ki, hətta pasta boylara belə elə dədi, cazə belibdə ki, həmin çağrış və səkəsi, o pa və esqa dədi, onun təqdim etsinlər, yəni Rusiya bu şəkilə düşüb. Mədə nələr başfəri, bunu da danışacaq yif. Həmal hazırda kiyevə bağlanır, kiyevdən dəyəli suydaşımız, keçmiş izrəb başçısı, əli Gülyev canlı yəndir. Əlbək, salam, əlvaqdınız xeyr olsun. Əlvaqdınız xeyr olsun, Rüfət Bəli, təmaşətəlarınızı da salamlayıram. Biz dəsi salamlayıram. Bir başa mövziyə keçək, əslində ələləyicilə rəzə etməsəs Rusiya dən başlayaq. Sünki Rusiya öz iddialarının əksin olaraq bugün açıq bir agonya yaşayır. Nə başverdi üç dört günə Ukrayna qeyq, yəni azad edəcəyi deyirdi onların indiyasına görə, amma Ukrayna da bir vatalıqa üçar oldular. Sizin bu yanaşma sizindir ki, artıq okyaydan çıxıb Putin-i İmperiya ön fərmanını verib, sərf edəcərimizi bunu sizdən yiqəyə və onu başlıq açıq artıq. Nədir o İmperiyanın ölün fərmanı, nədir və oxtan çıxan yay nədir? Özü dəsin izləyicilərə. Çox qaşı edərəm izləyicilərdən effiri paylaşın, bəyanın ki, daha geniş auditoriya məsaçlarımı çatsın. Rüfət Bəli, yəgin siz də xaqırlı isımız ki, 2023-dinin fevralında daha doğrusu hələt fevralar qədək. Çiçən elin sonunda bu çiçirlər səslənəndə, ən ziddi müşahidətlə, böyük əksəlik dövlətlərin özü, hətta Ukrayna hakimiyyəti, Ukrayna prezidenti inanmırdı ki, Rusya bütün dənaxaq qanlulara rətd edərək, hər şeyi inkar edərək belə bir adıda məqabilər. Çalınız Amerika keşfiyyatının məlumatıydı ki, dəhikliləyini mütləq deməli Rusya, Ukraynaya tətabiz edədik. Və həmən fərman əslində qalanda onda verildik. Yəni, İmperiyamın ölüm hükmü onda verildik. Və Rusya dərim bir baxaqlıqa düştü. Rusya heç sürə cuman eləmirdi, inanmırdı ki, Ukrayna belə bir müqamət olar, Ukrayna ordusu, Ukrayna xalqı belə bir irade göstərib, məhli göstərə bilərlər və demək olar ki, Ukrayna Rusya ordusunun belini qırdı, ürfətməti. Yəni, indi, əvvəlki söhbətlərimizdə digər məsələrə toxunatı yıq. Amma məsə sizin dədiynizə gəlim. Yəni, nədən birdən bire Putin bilə bilə ki, bu səfərbərli onun sonunu qətirə bilə, onun reikingini yerlə bilə bilə, ancaq bu arttımı artdı. Ona görə ki, ürfətməti, bunun artıq başqa heç bir arttımı qalmamışdı. Kharkovda ki, Ukrayna ordusunun əksunucumuna demək olar ki, işqalda olan ərazinin 96 faizini, bir netir günün ərzində illrın sureti ilə almalı çox on qorsuzdur ki, 2014-ci ildən 8-i müddətində işqal elədiyi bütün torbaqlar bir anda bunun elindən çıxabilə. Ona görə məs, səfərbərli yetti, ardınca referondum etdi, bürnə qarasında, sevdən eferondum üçün dəməkətirdi, ardınca nüvə şantajını ortaya attı, amma bunların heç bir xeyri olmayıca. Sizin də qeyd elədiyiniz kimi, artıq müxtəlif rəqəmlər səsləni 1 milyona yaxın Rusya vətəndaşı, dəməli Kürkiyə, Kürsdən, Kazakistan, dəmək Avropa ölkələrinə getmək düşünür və yeri gəlmişən Almanya övləti ilk günlə nəyəvan etdi ki, həgər sərhədlərə gəlib təslim olmalın bilgirsələr bütün səfərbərliyyidin qaçan adamlara sığınacaq verətik. Amerikada dünə Amerika Birləşmiş Daptarda eyni məsələni təkirəri. Yəni, size deyim ki, Rusya də vəziyyət çox cəri gündi, milyonlardan insanlar çağrış vərəqəsin cələmdə o çağrış vərəqəsin götürmürlər, çağrış vərəqəsinə hərbi kamsarlığa getmirlər, onlarla hərbi kamsarlıq yandırılıq, ilkut qıdə bir hərbi kamsar ölümcül yaralanı vəziyyət o qədəli titdi ki, artıq Kürdistan səhərətində, Qazaxistan səhərətində səyyər hərbi kamsarlıqların numayəndələri qadağın eləyibləri deyəndə hərbi yaşa çağrış, hərbi doluq yaşına çağrış adamlara orda çağrış vərəqələri verirlər. Yəni, vəziyyət son dərəcə ağır bir durumdadır, size deyim ki, müxtəlif, məlumatlar səsləmir, nə dərəcədə bunun dəliq olduğu biz bilmirik, amma 100 mn yaxın indiyə qədə demək səhər bəlliyə Rusya vətəndaşı cəhərli olunur. Və bunların böyük əsəriyyətini artıq baxılmır. Yəni, elə nəzərdə tutulmuştuk ki, 35 yaşına, demək, ehtiyyatda olan hərbitlər çağrılacaq. Amma bu qayda artıq pozulu, bu bir daha onu göstərik ki, Rusya idarın olunmaz bir vəziyyətə gəlir və artıq hər şeyin nəzəxərətdən çıxınır. Və bu çuyaq ki, hissləvi səhər bəliliyik deyirlər, əslindən qalandıq bu, çüpləvi bir səhər bəliliyik deyirlər, taqal səhər bəliliyik deyirlər və belə nəzərdə tutulup çuq 1 milyon 300 mn yaxın vətəndaş səhər bəliliyə cəlb olunur. Artıq bir sıra bölcələrdə darıstan başta olmaqınan, sətsənistan başta olmaqınan, buryat da başta olmaqınan, bundan imtinə eləməyək gələr, veriblər və işçələ bu elə satıb ki, məsəl, Mongolistanın keşmiş prezidenti o rəsmı şəkildə bəyanat verib və buryatların, tuvalların, qalmıqların, məsəl ki, məsəl, Mongol, bunlara yaxın olan millətlərdir olar namısını qəbul etməyə hazırdılar və sağırıb ki, bu sağırış edipçeyi bu artıq millətin soy qırımaqın. Dəni, baxd elə bir doldu, mən sizə deyim ki, bu səhər bəliliyik indidən inamla demək olar ki, uğraya da ııı bu qədə üç yüz millik bir ııı demək ki, kentin cənti geyindirmək, bunların ııı hərbi texnikı inans, silahla təhsiz etmək və üstə gəl bunu hazırlıq müddətə lazımdır. Bunu elə bilməyəcək. ııı və bunların qolqusu Rüfət bəyi onunla bağlıdır ki, yəni sonraki sizin ııı deməli sözbətimizdə bunu davam eləyəcik və zək çox yani bu saatın ııı ən böyük və strateji nokta olan deməli Ukrayna'nın şərqində danetskini liman şəhəri muhasirədə deyin ııı artıq ətrafındaki bütün qətlərin amsı alanı ııı sonra ııı Svatuq şəhəri var ııı bu şəhərdə demək ııı liman götürlənmən sonra automatik onu götürmək mümkün olaca və və ən son ııı dəmir yolunun qovşalı vardı Qrupi iskidə. Bu bütün silah sürsat da oradan gəlir. Iki gün öncə artıq Ukrayna o odusu ııı işxaldan azad eləyip və tam orda da ııı demək hakim deyir. Artıq ııı demək Luganskıdə danetskıdə günlərin həftələri sözbət edir ki ııı Luganskının artıq azıd olunmasına başlayacaq. Bizi şəhidsizə deyip və bu da bu fikrimi tamamlayıram ki əreferindum keçirlə dövbürcənin həm danetskı, Luganskı ııı Xerizun və Zaferoji nin hət bir yerində ə ə tam şəkildə həmin əraziləri Rusya nişanında döv. Iıı yəni o bir bir Luganskini gizmə ə ə ə Luganskini deyirdilər ki tam səhədlər nə tismışı, ışaldan azad etmişi. Amma ucun məlum ııı bu demək olar ki, artıq bu orda da bir sira yaşayış məntəgələ ışaldan azad olunup və ə yəgin ki, yaxın əftələrdə daha demək Rubejni, Severe Danetski ııı bu ııı bular da əvlusans ki, bular da ışaldan azad oluncaq. Yəni keci deyir. Yarım yarım yarım yarım çıxı məyəmələrlər, bəri. Yəni bey, mənələ siz özünüz keçidə etdiyiz, mənələ soruşacaqdım. Bu anında evdə durum necadir? Kiyev, ölkənin paytaktıdır, siyasi mərkəzidir. Hər şey kiyevdən eee, kiyevin gözü ilə baxılır, kiyev elə ilə baxılır, Ukrayna bütün nöktələrdən və eee xərson bildiğimiz qədər körpilərdə ağğıdılmışdı, xərson da durum necadir, qarqov da durum necadir. Eee, cəhbə bölgəsi o sistemini şəkildə, Ukrayna da ki o cəhbə bölgələri nə bağlı məlumatlarınızı lütfen izləyicilərimizlə paylaşan öncə kiyevdən başlayalım lütfen. Iıı, ilk öncə onu deməliyən ki, demək artıq Ukrayna o ordusu ııı bu maharibənin başladığı altı-yeddi ayrı kurundan qabaqçığı ordu deyib. Yəni son dərəcə nizamlı, ciddi şəkildə silahlanmış ııı əm madərin silahlarla ağır texnika ilə silahlanmış ııı diyərdim ki, Avropa nın ən gücünü ordularından biri, hələ bu cümləm deyirəm. Ona görə ki ııı ciddi şəkildə proses gəlir, eməy olar ki, hər həsdə ııı Amerika nın, NATO nın, Almanya nın, İngiltərə, digər böblətlərin ııı hərbi sursaxtları davam edir, gəlməkdə bu Ukrayna. Yeri gəlmişcən onu da deyim ki, artıq bir milyar, yüz milyon deyərin də növbəti pentagonun ııı hərbi yardımı ııı Ukrayna edir və burada artıq onsəkçiz ııı Haymars raketlərinin ııı Haymars demək bu raket sistemini daha doğrusu reaktiv yaylım ateş sistemlərinin verilməsi gözləmdir. Iıı sizin ııı sualınıza gəldiklə artıq ədəməli iki yerdə ciddi şəkildə hazırlıq görünür ilk önce ordunun ııı demək, qışa hazırlıqı inəm bağlıqlarım isti qeyimlə ııı təhdiz olunması, hazır vəziyyətli olması, və ııı artıq son səfərbərli inəm bağlı ııı bu saxta referendümün ən bağlı ııı tümaycunu ııı təhlükəsizlik şurası nın izlasını zelenski çağırı və burada bu məsələlər müzakirə olunacaq və ııı son beyimtenin baş asambili yasanda çıxı edəndə zelenski ııı bütün dünyanı çağırırdı ki, bu aniksiyanın isləsinlər rüzyanın ııı birleşmiş millətlər təhlükəsili şurasının daimi üzvülünün ən azad etsinlər məs bu məsələlər nın bağlı və ədəyim ki, bu daha yaxşıq açalım. Artıq Amerika nın Albaniya ııı Bulahi nə, eyni zelenski nin dediyi nəmi şərqlər nın bağlı ki ııı birleşmiş millətlər təşilatının daimi üzvülünün ən azad olması nəm bağlıdır. Iştəl görülür o ııı yəgin yaxınlarda beyimtenin təhlükəsili şurasında bu məsələyə baxalacaq ki, rüzyanın ııı təhlükəsili şurasının üzülünün ən azad edilsin. Çünki hər dəfə bu vəyit okur. Iıı, yani orsya orsya ordusundan fərqidə olaraq bu uqrayna həm siyasi hakimiyyəki həm ordusu ııı hazırdır növbəti ııı əxşsuzumlar davam edəsin, ııı rüzyanın laikli davabı beləsin. Və ııı ki evdə artıq hazırıqlar başlayıb, ona görə hazırıqlar başlamaqın ııı nın bağlı deyirəm ki, artıq delarustan ııı növbəti dəfə hücum etmək edilməyə gözləmdir və ııı uqrayna çəşibiyyətinin əldəkdiyi məlumatlara görə ııı rüzyə yenidən çiyyəvə, xarqıvə, hücum eləməsi nə bağlıdır. Çirlər səsləndirilək bu ııı demək uqrayna təlibizyalarında ııı üzür istəyərək. Rüzyə təlibizyalarında bu ııı propaganda para ııı rüzyumanistlərin də ııı fikirin səsləni bu ııı o qədər çıxılmaz bir durumdadılar ki, istiyirlər ki, ək sucumun qaçsın almaq üçün bu aklımı yenidən açsınlar. Iıı börek beyalarusa hansı hadisələr başlayıcək. Artıq beyalarusa məyəm qoşun istələri gəlir və bunlar əsas fikirli odu ki, qəbtən gələn yardımların qaçsın almaq üçün şimalı qəbtən eee beyalarus tərəfdən Wallenski eee Kevnopol o bölgələrə, Lutski o bölgələrə hücum etməyə planlaşdırıqlar. Iıı mən amma düşünürəm ki, bunların qaçsı ııı layqınca alınata ııı ona görə ki, artıq ya, demək, Lutski o odusunun ən son cümlərdə ki, əee statifqəyə baxsaq onlarla, qrizi, onvardımansı təyərələri su 24, su 35, ən madəri su 34, su 35 təyərələri əee sonra bunların əee ka 52, helikopterləri ən modern əee bunların hava, hava ədən belə hücum etməyətlərinin qaçsı alınır, əee bunların aktıqın rəhkətlərdə əee yəni əee anında vurulub, amma ən son xəbər bir-bir daha təkər arəliyirəm ki, Ruslar belə bir fikirdən, hələ də səkim miyiblər ki, əee ki, xarqov, adəsa bu yerlərə əee yenidən işhal etməyən əzəl vurulurlar. Ona görə ki, artıq əee dən etki Luganski də bu, təhsət dən etki Luganski yox, o cümlədən xərisunda, zahparoji də bütünlükdə Ukrayna da, darmadağın edili Rusya oldusu, darmadağın olunmuş bir vəziyyətdədir. Bu, böyük əsəriyyən bunların, dəməli, texnikalar sıradan çarılığı, təhcizat həbdindən artıq pis dəşəyib, məsələ bu səfərbəlilikdə ona xidmədir. Yəni, bundan əvvəl ki, sizin sualınıza zavab verəmdə ona toxunmuşdun, artıq dən etki də, ən böyük şəhər, liman şəhəri muhasirədə deyil, necə ki, üzvüm şəhərinin, üzvüm şəhərinin muhasirəsi, muhasirəsində bütün silahları, bütün hərbi texnikanı qoyu, dəmək, Rusq oşunları qaçdı, eyni hadisənin burada olmasında gözləmdir. Ruslarım, Rusca belə bir kelimə var, Qatyaq, Qaza. Yəni, eyni vəziyyət liman şəhərində də baş verir, bu böyük bir şəhərdəyi strateji təhətdə. Və sizə deyim ki, əgər həmi şəhəm, götürüncə, artıq həm danetskiyə, həm luganskiyə, dəmək, cihdi, Ukrayna ordusu, strateji, üstümlülərə. Əgər həmi belə bir sual var, hələ elmüzü modam ki, Rus ordusundan da, deyir ki, belə çıxıq Rusya nın aktiv ordu rezervi tam məhd edilip belə bir sual var. Ürfət bəyi, bunu tamamilə təsdik eləməyolar, inanmın təsdik eləməyolar. Məhz, bak, bu hərbi səfərbərliyin eləməsi bununla bağlı. Təsəbdür edin ki, hər gün, hər gün, 500 əyaxın hərbit sinitir Rusya ordusu. Bu nə dəməkdir? Dəməlim, bunların böyük əsas üstümlüləri artıları yaydı. Ziddi şəkildə, hər gün 10 minlər məh, 20 minl, 30 minl, 50 minl, 60 minl bütün Ukrayna boyu, mərmələr atılır. Ukrayna ordusu reaktiv yayılım ateş sistemləri, Haimarsları alanla sonra M777, yəni 155 qavi bir artıləriya silahlar alanlar, havapsalar alanlar, alanlar sonra artıq paritət təşkil edin. Yəni, say baxımından deyilə. Oradan əzərə alsaq ki, bu 60-70 km məsafədən dəqiq böyük bir saheni vurul, bu Rusya artıləryası buna çox böyük əsabıdan uduzul. Ona görə bunlar belə pis bir duruma qalatlar, belə pis vəziyyətə qalatlar. Yəni, bir sənəfdən də onu nəzərə alsaq ki, artıq Kharkov'da işgalda azad olunan torpaqları ələk etirəndən sonra Ukrayna ordusu. Ukrayna ordusu azqol bir də danistik səvir deyilən iki sayı var. Həmin sayların arasında bütün bu ərazi artıq Ukrayna ordusunun əlindədir. Ukrayna ordusu həmsini strateji əhmiyətə malik olan baxmut yolu var, ona nəzərət edir. Bir də limanla, Svakovo şəhərində gədən yol nəzərət edir. Mən sizə inandırım ki, yəni, çox qısa müddətdə sizin özünüz də görətsiniz ki, danistik Luganski də bir dəfəlik. Yəni, məsələ, strateji yerləri götürənmən sonra artıq Rusya ordusunun orada həsinə edə bilmətik. Indir Rusya ordusu bütün gücünü ona qoyur ki, səngərlər qazıpları müdafək etsinlər və artıq ətmaşının qabağına yüzülərlə insanların verir ki, nəyin baxasına olur olsun, quraxmasın. Eyni vəzzət də kərisondadır. Kərisonda bilirsiniz ki, dinək birin sax sahilinə saxdırılır. Bütün orada 15.000, daha doğrusu 20.000-25.000 sayında orda istələr orada yerləkir. Sadəcə olaraq Ukrayna ordusu məyə məqam gözlüyü. Birinci, orda dinzə hali olduquna bunu nəzərə alır ki, mümkün qədər bura gədən təhsizat azaxsın, mümkün qədər durdursunlar bunu, asand olsun. İkinci, şəhəri dağıtmaktan, kərison və digər yaşar, məntəqələrini dağıtmaq istəmir. Orda da faktiki olaraq məsələ demək olar ki, həllolma ərafəsindədir. Amma Ukrayna ordusuna belə bir göstəriş verilip ki, ne də ki, əvvəllər xeyri müşahidətlər də bizim insanlarımızda belə hər dəfə təngi dəliyicilər Ukrayna ordusu ki, nə də Ukrayna ordusu bu qədər gözlüyü hücum etmir, amma az bir müddətdə Kharkov bilayetində həmin yaşarış məsliyyənlərin azad eləyəndə görüldük ki, Ukrayna ordusu hazırıqsız hücuma keşmə istəmir. Onun istər əks ucumu, istərinlən hərəkəti, hərp səmətini, hərp eliminin qaydalarına uyğun həyata kətirilir. Şünləm ki, bu yaxınlarda da olacaq. O cümlədən, zafaroji dədə, bu məsələh həyata kətiriləcək və sözümü vaxt bundan bağlı yəkürnaşdırıram ki, dəmək məşhur Amerika generalı, bunun Avropada kəmandanlıq etmiş Amerika generalının belə bir fikri var. Bu deyip ki, Ukrayna ordusu bu, dəmək bu zürf cədişinə çox böyük ehtimalını, dəmək ilin sonuna qədər. Artıq, dəmək, ilmi tüfevral vəziyyətini gedib çıxadır və gələn edin ortalarına qədər, gələn edin, yâinə qədər, kırmı azad edin. Amma bu, bundan bağlı, dəmək, Ukrayna, həm Ukrayna'da ki, ekspertlərin həm tənin bir sərə bəniqəq müşahidətlərin fikri oldu ki, bu francist daha tezbaş birətə indi gözlüyək. Yəni gəlmişkin, həm amir qəbuləşmiş tatlarının səfirliyi, həm də İtalya'nın masqadaki səfidikləri öz diplomatik misiyalarını geri çağlı, Rusiyadaki durumdan bağlıq. Həm də diplomatik münasibətlərinin pozulması halamında ola bilərmək? Təbii ki, məsələn, bir də hərbü prizmadan yanaşanda nizidə yədəndiririz. Rüfət bəyi tamam ilə bizim tanışasının deydiyi fikir, mən razıya. Artıq nüvə silahı, nüvə şantajını günləriyə gətirməsi bütün bəniqə də aləmdə ciddi bir həyata doldu. Açılı, nəni Putin-lən, taktikin və silahından istuadi eləməyi məyən dövlətləri, o dümləvən Amerika'da bunun belə olacağından çox naraqatdır. Məsələn görə, amelika prezidentinin təhlükəsi məsələrin üzrəki kəhribi savunan həm Klinken bununla bağlı ciddi şəkildə fikirlərin bilgirdilər. O dümləvən Baylenin özü də ki, əgər Rusya, taktikin nüvə silahından istuadi eləməyi görətmək gətirmək, ciddi şəkildə zəribələr uğulacaq və onun salabı veriləcək. Hətta belə bir fikir də səslənir ki, əgər Rusya, bu fikirində qəti olsa, artıq Ukrayna nüvə silahını, Ukrayna qırım ərasindən nüvə silahını yerləşdirmək belə cözallıq. Amerika öz vətəndaşlarını çağrış elədi ki, Rusya ərasini tərk etsinlər, bu onunla bağlı dükkə istənilən halda Rusya nın daxilində hərası saknaşmalar olabilər. Hər halda bilirsiniz ki, bu yaxınlarda Amerika özünün üç çəşfiyyət təyarəsini səmaya qaldırdı, bu həm aliyasqadan hənticək. Demək, Bolşaharab səhətininə ciddi şəkildə fakt ki, nüvə silahının yerləşdiyi anbarlar. Rusya nın strateji, nüvə silahının yerləşdirili sualtı qayıqlar, sonra hər bir bambu artımsı, hansı ki, nüvə başlıqları daşıya bilən və onu atabilən qrizi və bambu artımsı təyarələr vardı. Bunlar nımsı müşahidə oldu. Və mən belə düşünürəm ki, bu Rusya nın təhsə Putin rejiminin yox, pütörbülükdə Rusya impiriyasının sonu olan ilə ona görə bütün dünyaya Rusya nə ağıllı olmağa çağırır. Və düşünürəm ki, əgər bunlar bu fikirinlə daşınmasalar hər hansı, taktiki nüvə silahından istifadə etsələr elə təhçək konveksiyonal silahlarla il çolara demək Qaradanis donanması vurulaca, Rusya nın bir sırası strateji hər bu aqəkləri vurulaca. Yəni, bədələ bir durumdur, belə bir vəziyyətdir. Hər halda ayn 30-u, bu saxtar eferindemin nəxtələri eyalan olmağa çağırır. Bu, artıq anne eksiyonu, bir başa rəsmi eyalanı demək olacaq. Və qüya Rusya belə çünür ki, bu, bunu eyalan eləyəndən sonra, saxtar eferindemin nəxtələri eyalan eləyəndən sonra, artıq ukrayna hücum ediyəndə, bunu Rusya nın, demək, işxalıçı bir qələmə verətək, və onda deyərdən attımları, atmağa mətvur olacaq. Alam ən əsə belə eləyəm ki, Rusya nın daxilində də bu məsəliyyə bir mənalı fikir yoxdur. Məs, Putinin, səfərbərliyi eyalan etməsini vaxtını eyalan olundur. Səhv eləmirəm, səb o ayn 20-u idi, yoxsa 24-u idi, o aynı. Sonra o sabahat çetirildi, o tümlədən hətta Rusya da bu propaganda aparan telekanalların özündə belə ünüvəs ilahının məsələsinin qaldırılmasına, ünüvəs sülhamın istifadə edilməsinə bir mənalı yanaşılır. Ama Putin, o qədə el həyirdən üzülük ki, ona görək belə dürbədür atdımlar akmaq düşündür. Mən indi elə siz nə, belirlişə qoşulmamışdan qaba, bilmək sə internetdə məalumatları rast gəldin. Bu məalumatlardan biri odu ki, Iranın, Iran'a çöməyləmək düşünür ki, Irandan dronlar başqa silahlar aldığına görə ki, nüvəs ilahının düzəldirməsində ona yardım edəcək. Şimdisi, özünün də terroristi kimi tanıdığı, talibanla üçü milyar dolar həzmində, yəni pulsuz olaraq ona nefti yanacaqlar bu üçüncük bir şeyləri düşünür. Və o qədə artıq çıxıb tüppu ki, və bunun nə edəcəyini bilmək. Hər dəfə, hər attım, attıq çanda, daha dərin bataxlıqa batıq. Yəgin sizin xəbəriniz var və həm Şimal ahını bir, həm Şimal ahını üçü deməlik burada 5 budaq var, 5 boru çəməri var. Artı onun dördü patladılın, dördü patladılın və ehtimi alınan belə düşünürlük ki, bu Rusya idi bunun. Çün artıq Avrupa'ya gəldən qazın bir dəfəlik Avrupa'nın şantac etsin ki, əhali qışda soyudan donacaq məzbur qalsınlar ki, Rusya'nın qoyduqu şəhləri yerinə yetsinlər, Ukrayna'na məzbur eləsinlər ki, barışıqa qətsin, Rusya olan, demək saksiyalar aradan götürürsün, İsvətsinə daniman qa artıq bir cə, qamisi yaratıqlar, və bunun ona görə Rusya'nın bunu elədəyilmək yuman böyüldü ki, tutaq Ukrayna'na onlar iktam edilər, Ukrayna'nın bunu belə imkanları yox, dənizin dibində yalnız sualtı qayıflarla bura jetməyolardır, bu elə də asant bir şey deyil, Rusya, Amerikanı, başqa dövləkləri incim dərəni bunda iktam edilmək, amma ciddi qamisiya hər şeyi ortaya qoyacaq, bunun patladılması bolu kemərinin daxilində belə bir texnoloca var, müxtəlif patlayıcı mühaqdələ, onlar vasitesinin olabiləkdir. Və yaxud da xarıştən olması belə yenə də belək ehtimallar var ki, Rusya tərəfindən olub, və Rusya'nın ekspertlərini beldiyi məlumata görə bu bolu kemərinin patladılmasından texminən 2 milyardan çox Rusya ziyandə. Onsuzda Rusya texminə Avropya 150 milyar qubmetir gaz verildik ki, indi çox cüzüb bir istəsi qalab, ən çox çox şimalaxını içi onsuzda izazə verimədi, Amerikanın dəribin qaldəktiv belə qərarə gəldilər, çox cüzüb biri istəsi şimalaxını bir nə qədirdik deyil, o da artıq sıradan çıxıb, polşadan qədən bolu kemərin, o da sıradan çıxıb, çox cüzüb yalnız Ukrayna də qədirdik. Yəni, Ukrayna də her adlın başı tədid edil, Ukrayna də bu transit qaza görə də Rusya heç bir ödəmir. Yəni, bu qaz şantajından tutumuf, çaxtan etirin duman, müvər şantajına qədər, Rusya hansı attımı atırsa daha çox bataxlıqa batır və Rusya nın gələcəyi çox qaranlıqdır və bu iqsabi tətinliklər yəgin ki, artıq kışa doğru özünü göstərəcəm. Mən çünür əmki yəgin ki, çox yaxınlarda artıq Rusya nın özünün valiyotası da çox belə də qağıza, lazımsız kağıza dönecək də. Yəni, bu gürə altınmış üçruburlə bir dolar. Hər halda bu Azərbaycanda də bir müddət inzibat şəkildə, milli bankonun dəyərinin saxlı ildə Rusya da görünə qədər federal rezevlərdən istifad ediblər. Yəni, ölkənin belə təhikiyatında. Filmar bəyin sualını sizdən soruşaq, təhikini və silağından istifad edilərsə, Ukrayna və müddəfikləri analoji cahı verəcəyəm. Lütfen, suallaraq saxacağa verək ki, çoxun sualları var. Rüfət bəyi, mən elə Söyhbətmün əvvəlində toqunduğun. Birinci, taqtiki nüvəs ilanından istifadə etsə o, daha çox istifadə eləcək taqtiki belə də, belə görünür. Yə dənizdə, qara dənizdə, ilan adasında başqa türlü istifadə eləməyi onun özünün əskərlərinin də bu nüvəs silağından ziyan görməsin, səsələ bu olacaq. Və bunu istifadə eləcək həddirdə mən qeyd elədəm, artıq amelika rəsimlərin belə bir çönkəri bir və digər salaqiyyətdir, pentagon nümayəndələri bildiriblər ki, qara dənizdə donanması vurulacaq, digər hər bu ablikləri vurulacaq, yəni ki, bunun çizdi şaşırda davabı veriləcək, mütlə. Ülvü bəyi soruşur ki, əli bəyi Rusiya nümrəyədə suqutlu Rusiya nün məhvdənə bu orsunun azaldılmasına gətirib çıxarabilər mi? Mən düşünürəm, bu sual alacaq veririz, amma hər halda izləkcinin sualını bir sosa cəvablandırıq. Yəni, üfətbə, bizi onu deyə bilərəm ki, bu son artıq sağlar etmərim bundan sonra, atsıl atsılına tübbbeni haqq kanunları ignori edik, bu hərifət ediyəndən sonra, Rusiya nün hətta son, bu baş basam biləyədən sonra, hətta Qarya yada Rusiya nün bir mənəli müdafi etmərim. Hət, bən onu demirəm ki, tutaq ki, Hindistan, nətiral mövqətətən Hindistan ciddi şəkildə Rusiya nün çağrır, ki, bu muharibəni dayandırsın, o cümlədən, nətiral və əzətdə qalan çin, yəni, şanxı, əməhdəşlik, təşilatını səmərqətlə keçirilən izlasında, ciddi özə etirazların bilətiklə. Yəni, heç kim demək olar ki, Rusiya nün tələbən sağlamır və Rusiya nün, bu muharibədə uduzmaqı Putin-i rejiminin yoğun, umumiyyətlə Rusiya impiriyasının taliyyini sualaltmadır. Bizi biz izləkici burada yalanda günahlandırır, deyir ki, gündə 500 adam ölməsinə demək, 7-day müdətində 105-min adam deməkdir, aqləməyin bizə deyir. Bayaqlar sizlək, fərin, öldürdü Rusiya orsusundan. Çabuq haqqı sizindir. Rıfət bəyi, çəsən dəfədə biz danışanda bir dostunuz, biz ciddi şəkildə, təkrəlimiz şəkildə deyirdik ki, yalan deyir. Bu, indi elə bir dünyadır ki, burada yalan bu günlərim danışırsa, sabahı ortaya çıxmasada 5-10 gündə sonra ortaya çıxınır. Hər şey o qədən rəqəm sətallaşıq ki, hər şey o qədər şəhvaflaşıq, təhs-i sputnikinə yox. Adi, demək, məhv edilən hər bir texnikaların laqasiyasıyla, qardinatlarıyla, ortaya boyulması, məhv edilən hər bitilərin, püdaqdolla hər bir istələrin, hər bir texnikalarına, hansının rəsmiləri internetdə yerləşdir. Çox gəgim ki, sabaha birüsü günə bu rəqəm, burada ölənlərin sayı 60 binə çatır artıq, 60 bin. İndi bunun burada propaganda kimi məyən belə də, çi bunu artırılabilərin. Amma Amerikanın muharibənin öyrənməkini istəkdir. İnciltələnin hər bir kərşibiyatı, dünyada ünlü telekanalar çıxıq, BBC, NBC, Amerikanın səti, bunlar bu məyalımahtarı verirlər, və bu məyalımahtarı bir mənbədən yox. Onlarla mənbələrdən özlərinin skutnikinəm səhdiyi rəsmilərləmdən ortaya uğurlar. Və elə belə deyək ki, bu gün bunu dedik. Mən dediyim, 500 gün də 500 və son vaxtları mən dedik. Son günlərik, yəni ki, artıq xarkıvda bu şaldan azad olunandan sonra görükü, burada üç yüzə yaxın tank, dügər hər bir texnikanın oylub gedilməsi. Bu nə demək ki? Bir gündə mən Facebook səhvəmdə onu işlandırmışlar. Bir gündə dört, həm onun içində qırıcılar varılır, həm də bombardı mənsınlar. Su 24, su 25, soltuz 4, soltuz 5. Tearəsi qurulmuştu, bir gün ərzində deyirəm. 20-ya yaxın tank qurulmuştu, bunların hamsı elə belə yenə deyiləm. Belə döv ki, biz bu sözü işlətdir, bu sözdə burada bütti çıxı getdir. İnternet səhvələrinə baxmağına, ciddi bu mənbələrinə araşdırmağına, bunların hamsı ortaya çıxır. Kəsələyək bir sual var. Ukrayna orası digər ərziləri azad etmək üçün dinə bir sual kəsmindir. Kəsəl biləcək mi? Belə bir sual var. Ukrayna oradası, Dünay Fırçaynın çetiməs üçün, yəni, özünün, ateş noktaları hamsı özünün nəzarəti altında olduğuna görə, buna ciddi şəkildə hazırlayıq var. Rusya oradası, Çürp, Qatmaq, Saq sahildən çetib, Qatmaq ciddi problemdolar üçün. Ona görə ki, bunlar Ukrayna oradusunun ateş hədəfi altında. Amma Ukrayna oradusunun asma çövpülər vasitəsi inə, sonra bir sıra hərbi texnikaları var ki, hərbi texnikalar çayı keçməlisində, yəni, qısa bir müddətdə, yəni, hazırlıq vəziyyətində bunu çetə biləcək. Və bunu Ruslarla dövüştə dən etki sevir çayı üzərində bunu göstərdiləm. Yəni, Rusya oradası keçəndə orada bir batalyonun demək olar ki, yarısı məhvədildi hərbi texnikəyəm. Amma Ukrayna oradusu keli çəkiləndə çox, səligəli şəkildə bunu göstərdiləm. Və hesab eləyirəm ki, Dinevirdədə çayı keçməc hədəri yarassa, hətbə problem yəşəmdir. İzləyicilərimizi təşəqkür eləyirəm. Mehti Qabil dirkəli qıyıq kanal Ukrayna girmdir də nəzər yetirin. Etiraz ediyin. Azərbaycana qarşı prafikasi edir. Qayadan Mehti bəq yazır ki, orada bir əriməni çıxarıqlar eləyir. Ukrayna da ərimənlər də yaşır. Amma Azərbaycan eləyihində danışarsal, bizim soydaşlarımız əli bəqi əvikiyonların cevabını beləcəklər. Rəfləx hanım belə bir sual var elə ərimənistan-vurusiya dönüflü gedir. Avropaya yaxınlaşır növbət də ərimənistan-avropadaki avadarlarından güc alıb Azərbaycana tarşı yenə ərimənşis ədləmatarsa, Rusiya bizim maraqlara uygun ədləmatacaq mı? Dəzi ki, patiq. Ülfət bəyi, Rusiya ömür boyu bize qarşı ədaləsi deyir. Və bizim yaşadqılarımızın hamsının məhlifi ərimənstan yox Rusiya. Bə mən indi təhsüf eləyirəm ki, mən sosial şəbəkələrdə də məyən Youtube kanallarında də məhər adamların curnalisləriyim sonra ekspertləriyim və yaxud da bizim insanlarımızın Rusiya indiki halda rəvbət göstərməsini başa düşülən deyir. Bu onun iləlik eləki artıq Rusiya ərimənistan'da mövcud olan hakimiyyə Rusiya nəle inəgir? Rusiya nə qəbul etmir və doğru olaraq qəbul etmir və artıq anlayıq ki bu 30 iləvizində kafqazda bu məsələlərin baizkarı Rusya'dı ərimənistan-Azərbaycan arasında ki, bu münaqişədə bizim 10 minlərdən vətəndaşlarımızın şəhid olmasın və əriməni tərəfini bu ikilərinin də arxasında Rusya durub amma indi oğullar siyasət yerikdiynə görəm amma çox təhviblər olunca bizim hakimiyyə demək ayıq, sevik hərəkət etməməsin ətləsində və dünyada mövcud olan oyun qaydalarını əməl etməməsi nəsisəsində indi görə görə ki, Rusiya bu dərəcədələrin bataxlıqa batı çox sevik etməməsin ətləsində məyəm məqanlarda görürüm mən demirəm ki, ənənəvə nəfransani, amelika bizim tərəfimizdə də dayanır. Amma yenə də bəlbəzim onun çünahını özümüzdə axtarmalıyım. Bizim küzümüz, bu qədər və suflarımız maliyyə imkanlarımız bizim arxamızda bu qədər döblətlərin dayanmasına rəhmə Türkçəkimi qarnaşlarımızın olumasına Pakistan, başqa ölkələ biz o təbulqatı aparat inandıra bilməm bir şey. O baxımdan hesab edirəm ki, çox aylı olmaq lazımdır mün çox ahirli şəkirdə bunu da demək istəyirdim ki, bilmirəm mən indi internetdə baxdım ki, ahtətin idilası olub demək yoxsa Avropaş orasını orada belə məsələ qaldırıqlar ki, Azərbaycan rəsimlərmə qarşı Sankhizə təqbiq edilsin. Bəlbət də ki, bu çizdi şəkildə mən bunu ürəyarısının qeydəliyirəm və qınlayırəm Azərbaycan haqçımiyyətin ki, hər dəfə deyirlər ki, bunlar uğurlu xarizi siyasəti baxın. Harada da bu uğurlu xarizi siyasət nəyi görə biz haxlı ola olaraq, niye biz bənihaq aləmdə özümüze qarşın nasibəti dəyişə bilmək bir şey. Çünki haxsız durma düştüyüdə, belə belə Tamamilə sizdən razıyam. Tamamilə sizdən razıyam elə bir cümlə deyətəm, rüfət bəl. Ən son hadisələrdə bu, sonradan məlum olur ki, elmənilər hulcum eləyidlə, elməni divestantları. Amma çox az bir müddətdə bəlçədə bir-iki cümlərizində bütün dünya mətbaatı, bütün bənihaq təşilatlar, bənihaq iniçtə də belələyə yarandı ki, elməni bizim ərazlərimizi işxalək. Amma hansı ki, azərbaycanın xarici işlər nazirləyi, azərbaycanın müdafə nazirləyi, azərbaycandaki bövlət strukturları taqlarla, rəsmilərlə bunu göstərsiyedilər ki, bu divestantlar gələk ucum eləyib, və artıq biz ona görəm, məcbul qalmışıq, onu etməyək ki, biz tamtun bölgəyə yaratmaq bizim haqqımız, hüquququmuzdur. Agres seri yerində oturmaq üçün, biz ona görəmək keçmişiq, amma onu bizə edə bilmək. Və məs, onun da, onda da gördü Amerikanın, Fransa'nın taqqib birəşmiş müllətlət təşilatında səslənəm fikirlər, təşidə bizim xeyrimcə olmadıq. Deməli, Kamran Kermov, biraz da biz ətraz edir ki, niyə keçən dəfə demməm siz mənim fikrimi? Bələ bir deməli Azərbaycan vətəndaşı, yəni daha doğrusu Ukrayna vətəndaşı deməm bilən, Misir Qasmaov, Qurayn deyirməni şikayət əsasından tutur və sonra orada müdafiədən yoxdur. Nə məs, əli bəyi bundan bağlı, soyuləşimiz Misir Qasmaovla orada həbsilən bağlı bir video da baxdı, hətta yayılıdır da bizim efilə. Nə məsələdir? Mən istəyərdim, bundan bağlıdır sizin kiri zəyişidək. Ürfət bəyi, olanda, məhbaqda gədəndə, o zümrədədəmdə, sizin kanalda gədəmdə mənə də xayrış etmişdilər, dəmişdilər, bəndə olara dədim ki, bu vətəndaşımı mənim bozun, burada xayrış da bəyi yoxdur. Sizə deyim ki, bunda məsələ, nəsə sizə deyim, təqdim, o qədəri də təqdim edilən kimi biraz deyir. Üstəm rəm, bu barədə dərin danışan məhəyəm məsələləri, bizim həmin, də məhvət əndaşımız, onun səhvirləm rəmsə, xanımı da Ukraynaqda. Qarabaq, birinci Qarabaq muharibəsinin iştiracısıdır, elbət də bizim bolcumuzdur ki, onun müdafə edək və bizim imkanlarımız kütümüz səviyyəsində kanunu yol verdiyi dələsədə əlimizdən gələni edirik. Yəni, mən bu dərin danışmaq istəmirəm. Tamam. Hər halda soydaşımızdı Qaraqda onun məsələsində Ukrayna, Huziya da deyil, Azərbaycan da deyil, Ukrayna da kümən olmasına inanırıq və məsəliyə də alətli baxsın. Yəni, rəfət bəd, çox üzül istəyirəm, bunu mütlət deməliyəm, yəni ki, bizim bətəndaşlarımız da Qiya ki, Ermeni, əlinin olması, Qiya onun yuxularının pozulması dədə kəli abartılı, Anadolu Türklər demişəm. Yəni ki, Ukrayna da Mahmud əliyəp soruşuruz ki, rəfət bəd, zəmət olmasa soruşun Rusiya indi sizcə 90-cillərlən əvvəlini yaşıyor muyuz? Rüfət bəy, mən size deyim ki, 90-ci ilin əvvələrlərinin daha pis vəziyətdir. Rüfət ki, 90-ci ilin əvvəl zamanında dünya Rusiya təcəriskar dövlət kimi baxmırdır. Rusiya bətəndaşları rejimin nifrət edilər, rejiminə qoxub, Rusiya da milyonlardan qasmırdır. Rusiya da iqsadi vəziyyə ağır olsa da bu dərəzi deyilir. Yəni, səbət dövrünlə əvvələn, zəbətlər, fabriklərdə əvvələn qırılmışsa da indiki vəziyətdə deyil. İndi hər şəhir fədbə, bu ilin sonundan sonra görkətək. Rusiya nə, əsas ənici taşırcılarından dəmək kəlirlər hesabından dolanırdır və bunu əsas Avrupa nə işləri görürdür. Bundan artıq məhrum ol. Deməlik qaz demək olar ki, qətmir sonra neft ilin sonundan iqsadi sanksiyalar başlayır. Neft məhsulları fəvrala ilnən daş ömür. Qətmir, bütün xarici şühtlər iki, bin beş yüzə yaxın ən böyük şirkətlər tərk ediyib, bu necə iqsadi dəmək kətirətir? Buradaki bütün mütəhəssistlər, Rusiya nür öz mütəhəssistləri IT tehnolojaları inən bağlı, digər qabaxçıl tehnolojaları inən bağlı olan mütəhəssistlər tərk ediyiblər bütün banklar silifdən böyük əksəriyyətlə çıxaralı. İndi 8. sanksiyar Avrupa birliği tətbik edəmək istəyir və bu 8. sanksiyasında digər o yerdə qalan 7-8 bank var. Ona da bunu tətbik edəmək istəyirlər. Rusiya nür özünün daxili mir kartı var idi, banklar arası işləmləri görmək üçün. Onu da demək olar ki, Türkiye, Vietnam, Qazaxsda onu da dayandırdılar. Yəni, çox aca nəcaqlı durumdadılar və heç muharibəni zaten demirəmdən. Muharibədə uduzmağı artıq ciddi Rusya'da sarsıntılar yaladaca və size deyim ki, görünəcə. Hazırıqsız şəkildə gəlmiş bu yüz binlər deyirlər. Oların gələmlərdən çox meyikdəri Rusya qaydaca, bu Rusya da bir ciddi təlatın yarataca. Yəni, 2. dünya muharibəsindən sonra heç vaxt Rusya, bu dərəcədə təhlükəli, bu dərəcədə qoxlu vəziyətdə olmamışdır. Hən vətəndaşları üçün, hən dünya üçün nə əfqanistan muharibəsində Çinistanda nə Suriya'da belə azın azaxlı durum yaşamamışdır Rusya. Həli bey, bu Lukaşın konunu Afqaziya səfərinən bağlı deyicimiz sual verib, oradaki danışaqda nə deyə bilərsiz deyir? Gürsüdan Afqaziya muharibəsinin qoxsu gəlir mi? Bu bizim üçün də çox önemli bir məsələ deyip, çünki Afqaziya məsələsi ilə paraliyolara Qazarbocan'da da bir Qarabaq problemi var idi. Biz Qarabaq 30 ili deyəşiriz. Alam eləyir dəziflər olsun ki, çox səsli qeri alsaqda. Amma Afqaziya da problem artıq gürcü hakimiyyəti Rusya qarşı olduğuna görəm tamam fərqli bir məzraya döndü. Şimdi Rusya'nın yandaşı olan Rusya'nın həm də for postu mu mütəfəqimi adlı nə qoyursak və Lukaşın konunun Afqaziya getməsi Gürsüdan'da nəyi vədik? Putin gəlində, nə ağlınız kezib məsələdə? Rüfət bə, belə bir misal var bizdə suda boğulun saman çöpürünləyə yapışan kimi Putin çox qoxu həm taqçıq Qazaxstan'da bu Qazaxstan hakimiyyətinin bütün məhvilihlərinə axtareta rejimi olmasına rəmə çox cəsarehti mübbi Rusya'na çeyri naraq eləyir və o cümlədən bax məraq ki, Kürsüdan'da İvanaşbili nəzarətində olan hüçumə o qədərdə Rusya eləyini olan hüçumət deyik amma Kürsüdanın prezidentinin çağrışı olub belə Kürsüdan baş naziri də Avropa, Surqlı, Avropa birliyinin NATO-nun təzdikləri ilə onlar da belə fikirlər səsləndirib ki, artıq bizdə öz məzələrimizdə çeyri qatarmak məsələsi yaxanlaşır əvvəlcədən dəmək bu məsələləri qaçsın almaq üçün öncə tədbilə görmək üçün bu kaşınqa apxazıya səhər edib amma hüçuməti tərəfinlər hüçuməti tərəfinlər hərə çiddi mübbelər üçün onlar da görükür ki, gözlülər tam arxanı olmaq istəyirlər ki, artıq vəziyyət yetişəyib onda Arosya üçün çünki təhvə atsa bilərik. Amma indiki halda mən tüçüm mürəm ki, bu kaşınqa apxazıya getməyə, nə hissət ciddi bir gönüş yara da bilək. Apxazıyan özür ciddi bir qulumdur da, vəziyyətin çəski şəkir alaqı bir halda həm asətya, həm apxazıya dəməlcəri qayda bilək cüzdistan ordusunun cüzdistan hakimiyyətinin iradesinə bağlı olan bir şeydir. Əlbət də ki, həm də burada qəribin, amelikanın, NATO'nun, Avropa Birləjinin də iradesi öz sözünü deyətək bu həmsinin Moldova yədə amma cüzdandan fərqəli olara Moldova yə, son təxminən bir 10-15 şumbundan qaba dəməl Rumunya o zümlədən NATO qulüvələri Moldova belə dəri təlim keçirdilər və Moldovanın prezidenti Qanum Sando'nun arda dıl fikirlərim ki, həm kecavusikan ordusunu buradan çıxakmalıdır. Özü də belə bir maraqlı bir açılamasında mən raskəldi Rusiya təlvək keçənlər Moldova vətandaşlıqından çarlacaq və də bir vəl, vəl tamam elə doğrudur. Onlar var, təşəkkür edin hər kəsə son sualı mən sovşəzəm bilim bəyur, o karnin ortasında muzlu əskərlər bu arada Rusya kanalları məlumak yaydı bu nə qədər doğrudur? Muzlu əskərlərli olması faciə deyil ki, mənim bildiğim qədər dünyanın hər muharibələrdə gidin muzlu savaşanlar var. Amma niyə Rusya bundan bir acotaj yaradır? Hər halda savaşın o Ukrayna tərəftən vətən savaşı olması ağlamını aradan apartmağa çalışır. Hər halda əlbəyi işləyib vaxtda. Fədbəy, bu Rusya ordusunun özündə də deməz Suriyada Başqa ərab ölkələrlə, səhv eləmrəm, əslivarına, bir nəklə ölkədə gələn dövştülər dövşün. Məsələ, burasındadır ki, Ukrayna ordusunda dövşən əskərlər, muzlu əskərlər deyil. Ukrayna muharibə başlayanla, xüsusu qanun qəyabu edir və həmin qanunu əsasəyən Ukrayna'da dövşən bütün əskərlərin hamısı, mələdən bizim 15-ə yaxın və soydaşımız şəhədoğu oların hamısı rəsm-i qayda da Ukrayna ordusuyla müqaviləsi olan kantrak əsasında dövşə, Ukrayna qanunlarına uğun olan legionlarda dövşün.

by Nicolas Crocfer
At: FOSDEM 2020
https://video.fosdem.org/2020/UB2.252A/python2020_celery.webm
All Python developer who want to run asynchronous tasks should know Celery. If you have already used it, you know how great it is ! But you also discovered how it can be complicated to follow the state of a complex workflow. Celery Director is a tool we created at OVH to fix this problem : using some concepts of Event Sourcing, Celery Director helps us to follow the whole lifecycle of our workflows. It allows us to check when a problem occurred and relaunch the whole DAG (or just a subpart if tasks are not completely idempotent). During this talk we will introduce you the different concepts of Celery Director then we'll make a demonstration of it. All Python developer who want to run asynchronous tasks should know Celery.

Hello everybody, so I'm Nicola Croquefair. I'm here to talk about Celery, which is a task engine to orchestrate, to combine some tasks. We will talk also about Director, a tool we made in HoVH to easily create this workflow. Okay? Why we need to work with Celery? We will see that together. To be on the same base, we will see what is Celery, and I will make a quick demonstration, a very basic demonstration. And then we will see that in our team we have some custom needs. We need to execute some background tasks, but some future provided by Vania Celery was not enough for us. So we created a tool, Director, which is no open source this week. So you can try it right now. What is Celery? This is the official description in the Celery documentation telling Celery is an asynchronous task queue based on distributed message passage. Celery supports real-time processing but also periodic scheduling. What does it mean? In fact, the important words here are task queue. What is the task queue? In fact, it's really simple. It's just a mechanism used to execute some tasks in other matching threads. How to do that? When we are talking about task queue, we are in fact talking about producers and consumers. On the middle of the screen, you have the queue. In Celery, a queue is named a broker and the most common ones are RabbitMQ and Redis. The ID is to pass message from the left of the screen, from the producers to the consumers. The ID is producer does not want to execute themselves the task. They want to make it executed by another system, another consumer. OK? So just in summary, what is Celery? It's just a mechanism of Python library used to execute tasks. In fact, it's just Python code somewhere else. And why to do that? Just some use cases. For example, to not block the user, if you are working in a web service and your user makes a request on it, you don't want to block it. You want to execute a long-running task somewhere else and then return a quick response right now. Your producer cannot have enough resources to execute the task because it's a complicated task to do involving some CPU bound and you don't have as a producer the resources to do it, but your workers can do it. You have big machines to do. We can also talk about network accesses. There is lots of use cases for some Celery tasks. And here, I will show you how to create tasks and workflows using Celery. Just for that, this is what we will use in this demonstration. Just remember there is two parts, the producers and the consumers. To produce message, we are using the dot delay method. There is some other methods to send the message in the queue, and now we will go to use the delay method. And on the other side, we have the Celery command providing some subcommands and one of these subcommands is the worker command. So we will produce message with this and we will... I don't know if... We will consume message with that. First part of the demo will be just create simple task and now we will see how to combine this task with some Celery primitives and we will see the chain and the group primitives, OK? And this is the demo part and I hope it will work. OK. Remember, I need to have a worker running so I already installed a Redis instance. You can have a RabbitMQ. You can also have five systems. So no running instance in it, but I prefer to use Redis. Oh, yeah. Indeed. So I think it's over there. Colours. And this one, no? OK. This is Celery. Thank you. Do you have any questions? OK. OK. So let's start. I already installed my requirements so I'm in the virtual environment. As you can see. OK. It will happen. Jupiter, just here. OK. Do you see? OK. It's OK. I can do that. OK. So I already created a task file named task.p containing all my Python code to execute somewhere else. How to do that? First thing to do is to import the Celery class, of course, the Celery application. If you've already used a web framework like Flask, for example, you know you need to create a Flask application and use it somewhere in your code. It's the same thing using Celery. I created my application. This is the name of this application, and I need to give it the connection to the broker. I also give it the connection to the backend, so I can do it. OK. And here I have two simple functions. This function is already simple. It's not the important here to make some complicated code. I just wanted to show you how to send a task somewhere else. So we have a first function to use to return a random number. And we have another function used to get first parameters and return the addition. OK. This will be my producer. The notebook will be the producer. And I have to launch the consumer like this. As you can see, there is my task file. OK. And I can launch it. OK. As you can see, Celery is launched and discovered my task because we transformed this Python function into Celery task using the decorator. OK. So first thing to do is to, of course, in the producer import the function. And it's not because we transform a Python function into a Celery task that we cannot execute it as a normal Python function. So here, OK. I already have my results, sorry. I can execute it normally. As you can see, a random number has been executed. This is just a Python notebook because I send it in the background. OK. So if I did not stupid, please. OK. No, it's OK. Now I can execute it in using the delay function. Using it, I will, in fact, send a task in the broker. I will not execute the task in the producer. Instead of it, I will send it in the broker and as I have a worker running, it will execute it. What I have in return is a nothing-result object. This is, in fact, a Celery object telling me maybe the task is finished, maybe it is not, but this object allows us to have the state of the task. Is it finished? Is it pending? And so on. As you can see, my worker really executed the task. It was not my producer, it was my worker. And as I said, we can use some async-result method like the dot-get method to really have the result. And it was the good number. OK. It's just a simple task showing you how to send a task and how to execute it somewhere else. Now we can use a Celery primitive to combine this task and create some workflows. One simple workflow will be this one, a chain workflow. This workflow, in fact, will execute some task in the right order one after the other. OK. We will see that. I have to import the chain canvas. Here I call one first task, the random task, and another task. As you can see, I'm using .si function. I'm not using .delay, why? Because here I want to create a signature. I want to create a new task in the broker. And as you can see, I have my two tasks created. Nothing has happened here. It's still my notebook, sorry. Nothing has happened. But now I can really execute the .delay function used to apply this task. And as you can see, my two tasks has been created. OK. We will use the group canvas. This canvas allows me to launch some task in parallel. As you can see now, I want to first one, execute two tasks in parallel and then retrieve this result. There are results. How to do that? Using the .s function. .s will take the result of my previous task. .si does not take care about the result of the previous task. Here we can see that first we execute get run in parallel and then we take the sum of this task. OK. Still my notebook logs. We have a nothing result again. And our task has been executed in parallel using tuple worker. And the sum of these numbers has been taken, has been executed by the getSum function. And now I can take the result of this canvas. OK. This is how to use Celery. As you can see, it's really simple, but I think it's powerful to use it because of this simple API. Is this my talk? OK. This is it, I think. Is it OK? Sorry for that. This is just in the file to have the code of the demonstration. OK. We will pass on that. Here we created the chain. We executed the result. Here we created the group. Executed and have the result. And OK. As you can see Celery is powerful, but it suffers some problems for us in our team. It's really difficult to see the dependencies between the task and the workflow. So we wanted a tool, allows us to track the evolution of this task. Maybe one task failed, but what task? And what other task cannot be handled because of this failure? It was complicated. We also wanted to execute them using some API call like this notebook. We wanted to create workflow using YAML format. So task has been created of course in Python, but in a folder and in another way, in another YAML file, we combine this task to create workflows. OK. We wanted to periodically execute some workflows. Celery allows you by default to periodically execute some tasks, but not a world workflow. And this is in our to-do list. It's not yet provided in the current version of GitHub, but we wanted to retry a failed workflow that had a specific task. For example, if several dozens of tasks succeeded and the 12th task failed, because we know that our tasks are important. So we need to store the result of this task and then re-launch the workflow at the failed task because we fix the problem. OK. So how to use the director and I sequence it. The demo. So again, the installation is just peeping style. Celery director here. Peeping style that. If you're doing it, you will have a new command named director. First thing to do, I will check if I... First thing to do is to create a workspace. So just remember, this tool will allow you to easily create new a Celery project. It's a kind of framework above Celery. Director in it and I will create a workflows space for example. OK. First thing to do is to as it's written to set this environment variable. I can now go to it and when you are doing it, you will see that there is a task folder containing an example. OK. So here I just have to import the task decorator, create a Python function and decorate it giving it some name. There is a simple example given to you by default which is an extract transform load example just using some print function. And you have the YAML file telling it if you want to do this kind of simple workflow you can do it using this syntax. OK. Celery needs to store the result of the task in its own database to make the dependencies easier to display. So for that, first thing to do is to create a database. Here I have a file by default it's using SQLite but of course we recommend to use a more powerful database like PostgreSQL or we are using SQL and now I can list this example right now I have this one and I can execute it. So remember I don't have to open a Python terminal, I don't have to open a producer and import the source code. I just have to use this command I give it some default payload, it will be an empty payload. In the next version we will remove this useless information but if you want to say foobar you can. It's director workflow one sorry. And now the task has been sent in the queue, so in the redis. I can now open a worker to consume them. We didn't see anything but task has been executed here. I just print task. How to display them because it's still not useful. We can now open this. I will open this one. We have the web UI telling you we are in a small format so the screen is not really beautiful here but we have our workflow and we can display the task executed. It's director. If I have some time then yes I have it. I can show you a failed execution. So the ID is for example to create an error file. So from director import it creates my task. Giving some hugs. This is the default signature of our curbs and I can make an error. Okay. I transform this one into task. Give it a name. I think it's okay. And I can now open this one. So here I just copy past because I have my notebook used to help me. Okay. I think it's okay. It's okay. Yes. So here I created a new workflow name WillFailup containing several tasks. The first one will be the head struct one and then we created a group containing several tasks. These tasks are a transform task. We'll succeed. And here we have our failed task will be failed because of the division by zero. And this task will not be executed of course. But we will see that in the Web UI. I cannot execute it. Name is WillFailup. I think I'm not sure. I can okay. The worker. Of course the idea is to have several terminals, several shells or several containers launching all of this function. And now we can see that in the Web server which is just here we have an error using showing you the workflow. And we can see that our task failed here. I don't have time to execute flower and show you the trust back. But if you are also using flower which is a well known tool in the salary community you can check here the complete trust back. Today in OVH we are using this tool to manage our workflows and our task and it's really easier to make it because we can use some Web services to call our task. I show you here how to do that using using some cli like this. But it's so important to note that we can now execute a workflow using some API call. Using some post call. We also want to provide you a way to execute a workflow directly in the Web UI. And this is a result. And here if you are using flower you can display the complete trust back. Now useful to make some investigation. And it's finished for me. The tool has been open source this week. It's really fresh. You can try it and give us some feedbacks if you want. This session is really easy as you can see. So thank you for your attention. And we have some questions.

Automotive microcontrollers. Safety != Security (SHA2017)
|
Tesla Model S, Jeep Cherokee, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Leaf… The list of hacked cars grows every day and security has become a priority in the automotive industry.
Until now, most of the security research and security development has been focusing in the higher layers of the software and in car interfaces like the WiFi, Bluetooth, USB or CAN. We, however, tried to assess security at lowest level possible: the microcontrollers in the ECUs.

Our next speakers we have Ramiro and Niels and about two years ago at the CCC camp Ramiro told us about how to hack microcontrollers cheaply with an Arduino and similar electronics. Now here Niels are going to present the topic of Niels master's thesis. They are both security analysts and they have turned their attention towards cars and towards all the little microcontrollers and all the electronics inside it and they will show us why even a car that's where the code is coded to safety standards isn't necessarily secure. So please give a big warm welcome to Ramiro and Niels. Thanks everybody for being here. In the next 45 minutes more or less we'll talk about automotive microcontroller security. So first we will introduce a little bit what is for injection we will introduce what is the standards for automotive security. We'll explain as specific experiments we run on these microcontrollers and how we break how can we break JTAG in these microcontrollers and finally we will do some recommendations about how to prevent these attacks. So first let me introduce ourselves. I am Ramiro I am security analyst senior security analyst and my colleague is Niels maybe Niels you can move there so they can see you in the screen. We work at RISCure which is a small hardware security lab. We are specialized in hardware. We sell tools for hacking hardware and we also sell services, evaluations for embedded systems and chips. We have a lot of experience in many markets as markards, embedded systems, payment and in the maybe last two years we also focus on automotive. So when we came into this industry or we started to work with this industry we found the following. So this is what most of the people is doing or other analysts or other hackers are working on. So they are working on the services online or the connectivity between the car and the services or the car gateway, the buses, the cab buses and at the lowest level some of them are working at the ECU. So the ECU is the computer in the car. Maybe you know about these hacks, the Jeep hack I guess everybody knows this. Maybe you know about Tesla recently also has been hacked a few times in the past. The Nissan, Mitsubishi this was hacked with the application. So probably do you know many more examples than this. I think that in the past week they saw another attack on the car. So there are many of this. So a lot of people is working on these layers, especially in the communication between these layers, but we are focusing on what we are better in the lowest level of the hardware. So we are focusing on attacking the car from the microcontroller. This normally means side channel attacks and full injection attacks, which I don't know if you are familiar with this. So in case you are not familiar, I will explain what is full injection. So when you design embedded system, you choose a chip, a microcontroller, and then you go to the data set. And normally you find something like this. Like you can operate this microcontroller between 1.8 volts and 5.5. If you operate at lower voltage or higher voltage, they tell you that it's not safe, but they don't tell you really what is going to happen. But we can imagine that if we run for a long time about 5.5 volts, which is the limit in this microcontroller, for example, or below 1.8, we can imagine, we can guess that probably if we run about 5.5 volts, we will have fire. The chip is going to burn probably. And if we run below 1.8, the chip is going not to work, it's just going to sleep, it's not powered. But the question is, what happens if we have something like this? So we operate the microcontroller or the chip for just a few nanoseconds or microseconds above or under the range of recommended or the safe range of voltage. So when this happens, this is what we call a glitz. We have a glitz. Normally what happens is that because this signal, the glitz, the power peak is transferred to or is distributed across the chip in a different way. Certain IPs or certain hardware blocks will be affected by the glitz and certain will not. So for example, we affect the CPU and for few clock cycles, the CPU will not work, but the rest of the chip will work. So it can be that the inclusion model is still working all the way around. So when we do these glitzes, normally we have these kind of effects. We can have bits that flips. So we have in the memory or in the register, we have 0s and then they flip to 1s or we have 1s and they flip to 0s. We can prevent accesses to memories. So for example, the CPU tries to access to an internal SRAM or to an internal register and then with a glitz, you prevent the access. You make the logic to access to the memory to fail and then you return, you get 0s or you don't write whatever you wanted to write in the memory. We can skip instructions. So we have a CPU and it's running a set of instructions and then we inject a glitz in just one specific point. That point, the instruction that is running that point probably will not be executed. It will just skip. Sometimes we can disable modules. So we inject a glitz and a hardware module just will fail. JITAC or will be encryption or whatever. And sometimes we have a chip destruction. So we inject a glitz. Even for few nanoseconds or microseconds we have a set of voltage. It happens that maybe an internal trace of the power within the chip will be fused, will be burned. So this can happen. So in order to understand better what is if I for injection, I will let my colleague Nils to do a demo. Okay. So now to show you that it actually works. I have a small setup to demonstrate what fault injection can do. And I have a camera here to show you what I have on the table. So what I'm attacking is this small Arduino nano. It communicates over UR through these cables here. And the power comes through these two cables here. And if we follow the power, it goes through this amplifier which increases the amps because the tool that actually sends the power signal does not provide enough amps. And this power line will be glitched like we saw in the few slides ago. Now we need to figure out when we have to do this glitch. And for this we monitored the UART communication coming out here, which goes into this GPIO pin and it watches for a certain UART pattern. And when that pattern happens, this to this cable, a glitch, a trigger signal goes from one core to the other core. Because this little box here, spider is one of our in-house tools. And it is it contains two cores, spider core one and two. And spider core two can sniff data and then using the GPIO pins here, we send the signal to the other spider core. On this Arduino, there's a small piece of code running from a hardware capture deflect that we were running last year called the riskier hack me. And this is one of the challenges from that capture deflect. So what it does is it prints an initial message that says level one. And then it goes into an infinite loop here, which will print lock all the time. And now you have to exit this loop in order to obtain the flag in this final lines of code. And this code is running right now on the target, which I will show you in this terminal. So you can see here the lock message going on and on and if I reset, I get this level one message and then chip status lock, lock, lock, lock, lock. And now the goal is to use fault injection on this loop here. And then we go out of this loop and we try to get the flag that's hidden here. So for this, I have a small Python script to control the spider. Here's some setup, blah, blah, blah, blah. And this is where we I program the trigger on UART on the pattern lock. And then here we wait for this trigger. And when we see the trigger, we do a glitch, which is the short drop in power that we called the glitch before. So this will run with, will run not. Okay, so now it tries various parameters for this glitch to try and find parameters for which the glitch causes a fault. And that fault should contain the flag message in its output. So here we see a bunch of attempts being made. And depending on how difficult your target is, this can take days or weeks or minutes. In this case, the target is not that complicated. So if we leave this running for about an hour, we will start seeing a bunch of successful glitches. For this demo, I have some parameters that will do that a little quicker that I already found, which I will run now. And now you can see in the output that we get this flag message that we were looking for. And that's fault injection. Okay, one comment, we did the demo with our own hardware, but you can do the same with just very cheap hardware. You can just spend 20 years and a half a setup to do exactly the same. Actually, my colleagues here are going to think today or tomorrow to do some demonstrations of how to use cheap hardware to do this kind of attacks. If you're interested, just come to our village, RISKUFEFE, and then we can show you. Okay, so we see that if we, in this case, we were dropping the voltage. It was dropping the voltage, right? We were dropping the voltage below the recommended, and we were having these glitches. We could also go higher, and probably we would get also glitches. But we can also do more things. So for example, we can just try to play in this area, which is not recommended. So operate at higher speed, this micro controller, and with a voltage which is not in the safe area, and then we will have glitches. But basically, if we go to the data set of the micro controller, and we find specifications that the data set recommends you not to exceed, that's an interesting point to do a glitch. So for example, this is the data set of this device. Oh, sorry. Sorry, back. Yes. Exceeding these specifications will produce a glitch. Always that you exceed it in a very short period of time. If we go through the data set, for example, we find this specification for clock. And this is very interesting. Here they tell you that you cannot have between two periods, clock periods, you cannot have a difference bigger than 2% of the period. What happens if you exceed it? They don't tell you. What will happen is that you have a glitch, a clock glitch. The same with the reset. They tell you in the data set that what is the voltage for the reset, and what is the minimum pulse width of the reset. If you have a reset which is smaller, that 2.5 microseconds, what happens? They will not tell you, but you will have a glitch. So we have different techniques to do glitching. We have voltage glitching, which is the one we have to do. We have the clock glitching, reset glitching, and then we have fancy ways of doing glitching, which is electromagnetic fall injection. We use a coil that generates EM pools to affect specific areas of the chip. So we want only to affect, for example, the crypto hardware. So then we put this coil on the surface of the chip, just wherever is the crypto hardware, and we inject EM pools. And then it will create a glitch in this IP. Only the IP we are targeting. Or we can use lasers. We can decap the chip, remove the packets of the chip, and then we inject photons with the laser to affect gates. So we can literally chain bits using this technique. Then you can also play with the temperature, but the problem is that you cannot do it very quickly. If the chip is operating at a room temperature, you cannot set it very high, very quickly, and then drop it again. So we use this mostly by raising the temperature, you can make the chip more sensitive to other glitches. So any of these previous techniques, I mentioned it, will have similar effects, all these effects. So you might think that this is not very common attack, that this is not very useful, that right now there is not many examples on life, on the wheel, that I will use these hardware techniques. But the thing is that many industries have been dealing with this problem for many years. And maybe you are not even aware of that. So maybe you know this. The Xbox, the chip for the Xbox was a recent glitch. You could hack the Xbox by putting a specific circuit which was glitching the recent line of the Xbox. The same with the Nintendo Wii. This one was doing a power glitch on the voltage of the CPU. This is a wasabi chip, I think. And if we go back in the time, I think it's the first reference I heard of using a glitching for breaking a game station console. The oldness, there was a way to break the anti-copy protection in the card rights in the games by using power glitch on a CPU or a security chip that they had. And maybe this is the ultimate age test. Anybody? Anybody knows the relation between these two? Yeah. Okay. You are too old. Yes. Okay. Yeah. So I don't know. I remember when I was a kid, you could go to one of these arcade machines and use the PSO electric for a lighter. And this will generate a spark that will confuse the coin, the electronics that detect the coin and will give you credits for free. So still this trick is working. So there is some people that is doing it. This is a video from YouTube. They are not using a lighter. They are using something more sophisticated. It's creating electromagnetic pools. See the screen? I wonder if you can overflow it. Okay. Let's stop it. So games industry have been dealing with this problem for many years. But probably the industry that have been dealing with this problem for longest is smart cards. So this, for example, maybe you know what you heard about this. This is called Unlooper. This device at the right. It was used in the around year 2000 to unprotect, to glitch smart cards and protect them so you could watch pay TV for free. So this was used 17 years ago. The good news is that we have some techniques to prevent these kind of attacks. We can use software and we can use hardware to prevent. So we can design, we can code the software in a way that is more secure against these kind of fall-in-checking attacks. Normally these techniques are based on checking things twice. So for example, if you are checking a password, so you check first time and then you check a second time. Maybe they inject a glitch in the first time you were checking the password. But then you have a second check that will detect if there is any error and will not allow you to access to the system. So there are different techniques for software, software techniques, and there is also a lot of techniques for hardware. So team manufacturers can do something at hardware level to prevent glitches. Smart card manufacturers and secure chips manufacturers have been implementing these contraversers for many years now. One of the most common, or the two most common contraversers are monitoring the signals. So detecting any glitch, any peak in the power or in the clock or in the reset. And adding redundancy. So those models that are important or are critical for the security of the chip, they duplicate it and they run in parallel. So maybe a glitch will affect one of the modules but not the other. So by running in parallel, you have more chances of detecting the glitch. So when we started to work or to research in the automotive market, we already have a lot of experience in other segments, in other markets. And we tried to find or to assess what was the security level in automotive for against this kind of attacks, all injected on the side channel. Then the first thing we did is try to find standards against standards that define some kind of contraversers or regulations against this kind of attacks. The problem is that there is no standards. The closest thing is the ISO 26262, which is not a security standard. It's a safety standard. So if this standard regulates what happened, there is a problem in the chip that is in your car. So because the chips in the cars operate in a very noisy environment, there is a lot of noise because the engine or because, yeah, the engine, the sparks from the, you know, the book coils, I don't know the English word, the sparks for the engine. They introduce a lot of noise in the power of the ECUs, the computers in the car. There is a lot of regulations to prevent the chips to crash. So in this standard, ISO 26262, they talk about full injection, but as a technique to test if your chip is safe against this noise in normal operation of the engine or the car, the ECU. This standard defines the ACL, Automotive Safety Integrity Level. So this basically is a level which is given to devices based on the risk, the pressure to a risk, how it is to control the risk and the severity of the risk, and then you will get a level which can be from A to D, being A, the chips or, well, the system that are less safe, and D, the more safe systems in an automotive or in a car. There is also a QN level which is only given to devices that have no special mechanism to prevent anything, basically. So QM is just normal chips. So we took a look at this ACL-D safety mechanism that this automotive micro-controls have, and then we found the following that they implement these two mechanisms to prevent errors in the chip. So one is the CPU lockstep. So two CPUs run the same code at the same time, only that they are separated by a number of clock cycles. So if there is a problem, because, I don't know, gamma ray or because noise coming from the engine, whatever, maybe one CPU cannot execute properly the instruction, but the second CPU will. So the two CPUs are running in parallel, and they are comparing the output of the seclusion to see if there is the same. If it's not the same, there will be an interruption and there will be some kind of routine that stops in a safe way, the car, or whatever. And we also found that there is a lot of redundancy in memories. So many memories are redundant, so this way you can inject a glitch in one of the memories, flip one of the bits in the memory, but not the other. So these mechanisms are very similar to those that we found, or we find, in a full injection protected chips. So smart cars, for example. So we were wondering. We know ISO 2626, too, is about safety, can be also used as security, can be also protected, this standard against full injection techniques, because this is something that many people think. Many people think that the lockstep in the CPUs will prevent full injection to succeed in these chips. So this is the research we did. Nils? Yes. So this is where the experiments of my master thesis come in. So to investigate how effective these particular counter measures are that we find in the automotive target that microcontrollers, we took three chips. Two that fall on the ACLD spectrum, and one that falls all the way in the other side on the QM spectrum. So these two, the red and the blue chip will have these particular counter measures, so lockstep and parity checks, to prevent faults. And they also use various degrees of architecture. So these two have, the bottom two have arm, use the arm architecture, and the blue one uses PowerPC, which are the two most common architectures found in the automotive world. Then we took two techniques from the techniques that were just listed. We took voltage glitching that I demonstrated, and we also had a look at electromagnetic glitching. And the nice thing about electromagnetic glitching is that you can localize your glitch more than with voltage. In voltage you affect the entire power plane that you are glitching while with EM you can sort of target your glitch to a specific point on the chip. It's not as precise as a laser, of course, but it is still a nice upside. The downside here is that you also, in addition to finding when to glitch and how hard to glitch, you now also have to find where to glitch. So the initial thing we found in our experiments is that we could not successfully glitch the blue target with EM with voltage, so this was only glitched with EM, and the other two targets we could do both. Then we did two kinds of experiments. First we did characterization experiments, which are very simple snippets of code that was also similar to the snippet of code that was running on the Arduino that we just glitched. And the purpose of this is to find out if you can successfully inject falls in your target at all. One of the nicest characterization experiments we did here is where you simulate the behavior that happens when some authentication happens, and the result of that is stored in a flag, and in this case we just set it to one, and then if the flag is equal to zero, we are authenticated, and otherwise we are not authenticated. And you see here that the branch that says not authenticated should happen because flag is not zero. And what you can do with fault injection here, it's better to see if we switch to an assembly view of this code, so you will get a load flag instruction, then you will get a compare instruction, then based on the compare we will branch to a certain line in our instruction set. In this case we will go to the not authenticated line and continue. So if we just change this one red bit from one to zero, all of a sudden our branch instruction changes to a store instruction, which if it does not corrupt our execution flow in such a way that the system outright crashes will mean that effectively we have just erased this if check, and we are now authenticated. So any fancy authentication crypto stuff you can just bypass it afterwards. So we did these characterization experiments on the targets, and then what we have left with finding is when exactly this if check happens, and how hard we have to glitch to affect the amount of the bits that we want. So in order to do this, first we look at what happens in normal behavior, and from that we determine windows where we expect that glitches might be successful, and then we just start shooting that for a day or two, and we start plotting them in nice graphs to identify where sensitive areas are. So first you will see some green spots, which means nothing happened, and then you will also see yellow spots, which means that the target either died or reset. So we are glitching too hard in the yellow case, but not hard enough in the green case. And then if you set up your experiment correctly, you also start seeing successful glitches, and that's indicated by this red dot in this particular plot. And then we have one additional category, which is this pink on the left, which means that the glitch was detected by the countermesh is present in the targets. And then when you run this overnight, you do 100, 200, 300,000 attempts, and then you start getting these nice graphs where you can see that if you are glitching hard enough, but not too hard, then if you go into that sweet spot, you will have successful glitches, which in this case are not detected, which was a surprising result. So in this particular case, about 25% of the attempts were detected. And if we look into the registers of the target, we see that over 90% of these detections originate from the lock step mechanism, so where you have two cores doing the same thing. And then a smaller amount is because of the parity checks that are in place. Yeah, just to draw some numbers at you, if we find very specific fixed parameters for our ideal glitch, we are able to glitch the simple targets all the time. We are successful with our more ASIL D targets around 60% of the time. So for us this confirmed that safety is not the same as security, at least according to this standard. No, just a single fault. The question was, do we need two glitches? And the answer is no, we only have one glitch to do this. Why? That's a good question. We have some theories about that. We were expecting to have two glitches to need two glitches for affecting both CPUs, but we found that one single glitch is enough. And then we have two theories. One is that we are affecting the flash, so the flash pad. We are basically glitching before we are going here. So here somewhere. And the second theory is that because this is an ARM core, ARM Air 4, I think. It has seven stages pipeline. I think it was seven stages pipeline. So maybe because the pipeline seven stages needs, its instruction needs seven clock cycles. The CPU lockstep is separated for two clock cycles. If we inject a glitch, we are actually affecting the same instruction, but in different stages. So maybe the first core we affect during the fetching and the second core we affect during the seclusion. So still, we found this quite surprising to be honest. We were expecting to have, to need double glitch. Yeah, but we don't have detailed documentation and views into these targets, so it's very hard to determine exactly what happens. Okay, so now that we know that successfully inject false at our target, we wanted to do something more meaningful. And for this, we chose to attack the locking mechanisms in these targets that lock the JTAG down. And people, yeah, you want to lock your JTAG when you put your chips out in the field so you, so people can't just extract confidential firmware or valuable intellectual property. And from a more academic point of view, this is also interesting because before we knew what was running roughly so we can make guesses about where we have to inject our fault. And all these locking mechanisms happen in hardware or in ROM code that we don't have access to. So now we are basically, we have no idea where we have to glitch. So we need to find other techniques to investigate where we need to do fault injection. For this, we resorted to site channel analysis because by looking at the power consumption of a target in a locked target and in an unlocked target and then comparing the two power traces, we thought well, maybe we'll see a difference and that's likely where the JTAG is being locked. And we, if we do fault injection on that point, we will either keep the target in an unlocked state or unlock it. So, yes, what we do here, we take our power measurement, we see that we have power on, power off, but we still have no idea what's happening in the middle. And that's why we look at an unlocked and a locked version. So for the first target, we have, you see here, a brown line and a blue line. And that's, those lines represent the locked and the unlocked power trace. And when, here we see a very clear difference at this point. So here we do fault injection and we were able to keep the JTAG unlocked. Sorry, just to clarify what we did is just, we run. So from the data set, we knew that somehow the JTAG lock is being set up during the boot process of the chip. So we run the chip, unlock it, unlock it. So we have this chip, we both have developed a development board and then we program this board, one board with the JTAG lock and the other board without the JTAG lock. And then we were acquiring with a scope the boot up process and we compare both boot up process and we found a place where the power signal was different and we were assuming that because the only thing that changed from one board to the other is the JTAG lock, we assume that this is the point where the JTAG is configured. So what happens if we click here? Yes, thanks for clarifying that. We did the same on the other target and we found a similar pattern that if we configure more or less configurations for JTAG, we see a clear difference in how much power is consumed at this point and we do a fault injection here and again we were able to keep it open. The success rates are slightly lower than for the characterization. So if we start again with broad parameters, we narrow them down to what we find to be the optimal parameters and you see the percentages here. The simple target was very trivially unlockable, however the ACLD targets were slightly harder. We need around 100 attempts to get one unlocked also before we were able to completely bypass all the detection mechanisms and in this case we were not able to do this around 3% of the attempts were detected which means that if these detections are handled in a smart way you might break a few devices before you are actually able to unlock one however when you see the difference between 1 and 3% it means that you might just kill 3 out of 100 but 1 in 100 will be successful so if you just buy 10 you'll be fine and now my colleague will explain some of the consequences of what Okay, so we proved that using glitches in this ACLD automotive SOCs, microcontrollers we can change the flow of this program and with this technique we were able to unlock the gyta so what are the consequences of this so the most obvious one is that we can unlock the gyta we can steal the IP in the ECU in the microcontroller let's imagine for example there is a lot of companies which is putting a lot of money in researching autopilot for cars a competitor can take this ECU that do the autopilot break the gyta and extract the IP which will help them to develop their own autopilot for the car so this is an example of what can happen but if you dump the software then you can also try to reverse this software, this binary and use it to find vulnerabilities these vulnerabilities can be remote so if you dump, I don't know the telemetrics the telematic module or the module in the car that connects to web services dump the firmware, reverse and then try to find a buffer flow or something that you can exploit remotely you can also try to find keys so many of these these ECUs have some keys for example for the remote the remote to open the doors or for the OTAs for updating the firmware of the car remotely so there is some keys so you can try to reverse them so for example we are interested in the UDS keys these are the ones that are used to to update the firmware using the ODB2 port on the fly on the air update keys the remote and the mobilizer of course so to prevent the car to be stolen there are some keys maybe you remember this last year Flavio did a demonstration in Eusnix he was able to dump the firmware from a remote sorry not a remote it's from an ECU the ECU in the Volkswagen car that controls the remote he was able to dump the firmware he reversed the firmware and he found that in some cases the keys share and all the cars use the same key in other cases the keys derive it in a very simple way he was able to unlock almost all the Volkswagen cars so this is an example of what can happen with this if you can unlock the JTAH and extract the firmware you can use it to find more exploits or more vulnerabilities and maybe less obvious something that you can do also you open the JTAH is to modify the firmware this can be useful for tuning there is a lot of people that has been doing this for many years to add more power to the cars or to other things in the cars but this can also be used for sabotage let's imagine that somebody wants to kill a person in the past you cut the brake fluid cable now you can just break the JTAH update a new firmware and then make the car to collide or to crash when it's 120 kilometers per hour so this is a possible scenario and nobody will find any sabotage evidence because it's in the firmware so what can we do there are some things we can do the first and most obvious is to add countermeasures there is things you can do at hardware level and software level so even in the system that are already deployed using the current chips you can use software to minimize the risk or to mitigate a little bit the risk but the most important thing is maybe that you don't have to reinvent the wheel so there is already a lot of solutions out there smart cars manufacturers have been dealing with this problem for many years so if you go to internet and you search you google you will find a lot of papers a lot of papers talking about different countermeasures against phone injection so you don't need to do nothing fancy you can just only see what is people doing already there and a specific recommendation is that we found that many times we were trying to inject a glitch and the glitch was successful meaning that we were able to bypass the security mechanics we were trying to bypass but the chip detected that something was wrong so there is some register that indicates if the chip detects some kind of glitch or something that is wrong so it's very tempting it has a programmer to just ignore this so there is the chip says that there is something wrong and you don't process this interruption to I don't know to stop the chip it's very tempting to do that but if you do that maybe somebody is trying to do phone injection and disabling one of the safety mechanism yeah now we are doing more research continuing this this line of this topic we are trying to find of all the safety mechanics in these chips which ones are better to prevent glitches and we are trying to apply this attacks on real ECUs and real cars because all this we were doing in a development board for these chips so we were not really attacking a real ECU we were just buying these development boards and then trying because it was easy for us so now we are trying with real ECUs and finally we have a specific obsession let's call it with UDS which is a protocol in the car we are trying to break this protocol using phone injection thanks God there is now some standards they are being defined right now the 3061 J3061 and 3101 these standards will address this problem actually the 3061 the first part of this standard is already there and they talk about side channel and they talk about phone injection but they talk about this in a very superficial way in theory or I expect when they elaborate the next parts of this standard the part 2, part 3 they will talk with more detail about what do you have to protect against phone injection side channel A-C-S-I-E L like the ACL levels but for cyber security and this 30101 will also address this problem but this one is still working in so we don't know what is in there so maybe in the future there will be some standards and some protecting against this phone injection techniques oh no sorry this one if you want to know more details about this research we will publish a full paper in the VTC 2017 this is next month in September you will be able to download the paper with more details I know that this phone injection side channel is very confusing very abstract so you are interested in knowing more details tomorrow our colleagues will talk about how to use against phone injection to bypass secure boot and I think it's a phone I don't know tomorrow and we have in our billets we have some demos and workshops about phone injection side channel so you can come and visit us at 5 we will have a demo on side channel how to use open software tools for doing side channel if you are interested in that sorry it's in our tent it's called RISQ FEFE and it's next to the Spanish Spanish hacker space it's in the hopper field that's you can try to find us in the weekend so any question sorry I forgot something actually I forgot something I guess I forgot something sorry yeah you forgot something so I demonstrated this this fault injection on this small Arduino which was part of a capture the flag challenge we were running last year which is called the RISQ HACME and we are now in our third edition which goes lives on Monday so if you are interested in doing more hardware oriented capture the flag style challenges you should definitely register and we also added some automotive components and we are working with the company Argus cybersecurity to make automotive specific capture the flag challenges as well so if you are interested in hardware security for an injection side channel and automotive hacking then you should sign up for this we will send you a board if you qualify by passing some challenges we will send you a board with some challenges you have to hack and that's it any question thank you very much very interesting talk about something that I need to try out the next weekend so we now have about 12 minutes left for Q&A session please line up on the microphones in the middle and I see there is one question already hey there thanks for this great introduction to the topic and the demos I have a question about the ASL standard why did you choose the colors I wondered that you gave for the best class the red color I would give the green one but why give it a red one I don't know do you have an excuse I'm sorry the development board is red thank you hi how likely do you think it is that the development board doesn't have any protection against stopping this kind of injections because in the end it's only that whereas when they actually deploy it they will detect intrusions and say okay after three intrusions yeah we tested the safety mechanism or the security mechanism in the chip, within the chip because it's in the chip, this development board yeah have those of course manufacturers can put more detection mechanism in the entire system in the PCB they can put more but the thing is that you can always remove from the board and test it in your development board so you remove any of these mechanisms in our experience we normally have to modify a little bit these PCB boards because the capacitors in the VCC line in the power line filter the glitches so we always have to do small modifications in the boards so we will have to do the same for this real ECUs but I don't expect any kind of safety mechanism in the ECU hardware that we cannot bypass by just removing the chip and putting in a different development board any more questions please line up yeah one more did you kill some of your devices while testing I think one died because of the EM but that's it and we put one in the acid to see the how it was inside that definitely didn't work anymore thanks yes please how much of a problem is it actually to access the memory via JTAG because usually I think in my experience in larger boards the memory is usually externally so what can you actually do with a JTAG that you can just do by desoldering the flash whatever this is a microcontroller so normally when you have a microprocessor the memory is outside the microcontroller normally the memory is inside so of course if this is a microprocessor you can just tap directly the lines that go out of the tip and then you don't need to do all this you don't need to open the JTAG to get the firmware but in this case in microcontroller the firmware is inside the chip you need to open the JTAG in order to read it I believe that normally when they have external memory they encrypt it and they only decrypted once it's back into the controller yeah that's true some security features are quite common in some microcontrollers or microprocessors sorry those that implement secure boot normally they have encrypted flash sometimes encrypted DDR that's absolutely true and then in that case you can also use the JTAG to open it and then get the decrypted firmware one more question ok this way a lot of microcontrollers now come with encryption engines to make things possible quite quickly on the chip have you tried to focus attacks on that area of the dye using EM or maybe laser or other techniques to see if you could do something with that of course this is actually part of our work there is a specific technique called differential fall analysis where you use a glitz to affect the stages of the crypto engine and then by injecting different errors you get different outputs with the same key and then you can by comparing them you can extract the key without knowing which one is the key so if you are interested in that maybe the guy in front of me can give you a lot of explanation about this thank you very much if there are no more questions if there are more please line up I have one question so lots of microcontrollers almost all of them come with multiple supply pins have you tried how much different it makes if you just glitch one or a few of these supply pins to affect special areas of the chip sometimes these different pins are power and different internal power planes so one is for the analog electronics the other is for the maybe the CPU a different one is for the cantron sear so the first thing we have to figure out is which one is the one the CPU is running from and then we only inject the glitch in that but many times in the documentation you don't know because the documentation only say BCC so then we don't care we just try all so it will be less specialized or less specific glitch because might affect many things that we are not interested but at some point this is a game of of a statistic let's say we try one medium time for full injection attacks and then maybe one will work because you have one single one single glitch will be enough to unlock the JTAG and extract the pure war so cool so I see one more question when you do such an injection how long does one injection take is it milliseconds one second no it depends from target to target so normally it's often it's related with the speed of the CPU so if the speed is very fast and you do one microsecond you are affecting many clock cycles and then yeah probably you will kill the chip or crush the chip so normally it's related with the CPU speed but it's more in the range of nanoseconds like 60 nanoseconds to I think the longest I have seen is one microsecond I have okay I actually wonder how long you need to do the experiment glitching it many times in a row before you actually have a success are we talking half a minute or a day so the experiments that I showed you these percentages they are obtained after running a few days typically you turn it on before you go home you leave it running over the night you come back, you see your results and then based on your results you change your parameters and you iterate this process like three or four times and then you are successful so you need five days to find the real parameters so how much time you need to glitch where and what is the voltage and then when you repeat these parameters you have a high successful rate so then you can glitch it maybe in less than one minute so you have to try less than 100 times and then you will have a glitch so less than one minute or two minutes do I understand correctly that you reset the system between these attempts yes useful because sometimes the glitch affects some modules that you are not aware of so do you think that the CPU is working properly after glitch but some hardware model has been affected and then it's better to have a full glitch sorry a full reset before continuing glitching but it depends sometimes we do sometimes not but it is useful for example in this demo it takes about three seconds to completely boot the device so then I only reset when I stop getting responses or I was successful and every attempt if nothing seems to happen I just keep shooting and not resetting but next time the next boot everything might change quite a bit right in timing or different things happen it's still not you have to find a trigger point which is close to where you actually want to do your footage action you can't just start counting from boot time so yeah before you said there was only one glitch and not two in those two processors the lockstep how can you be sure of that or how can you count how many glitches there were we inject a glitch with our tools we say to our tools inject a glitch and we were expecting because there is two CPUs we were expecting to have to inject two glitches separated by two clock cycles but we found out that one single glitch is enough I don't know if this answered your question ok ok one more could it be that you actually glitched the comparator which that actually give you the result it could be but I don't think so the reason is because the comparation is combinational logic so you can affect it but immediately we'll get the previous value it could be but I think it's not very likely but it could be we don't know because we don't have the internal I don't know we don't know how it works internally if there are no more questions now you have the village you have the talk tomorrow yes maybe I can mention that if you want to see the demo more closely you can also come down to the village and it will be running there ok and then please give one more thanks to this awesome talk and to our speakers

The slave bought specifically for the role of a breeder. This man was forced to have sex with hundreds of women every day. And the worst part was that he could never say no. Known as Padaseka, he was the slave bought specifically for the role of a breeder. Because he stood at two meters and 18 centimeters tall, they believed his children would be strong. He was highly intelligent and obedient. As a result, while the other slaves worked in the fields and performed heavy labor, Padaseka had the role of engaging in relations with hundreds of different women every day. As Padaseka's children were consistently born strong and healthy, he began to receive increasing privileges. He passed away in 1958, leaving behind over 200 children.

Hello friends, welcome back to another video on the channel. I hope you're all doing great for anyone new to the channel. My name is Lee, also known as Osiris. And yes, it has finally happened. We've got the cloning menu glitch back in version 1.1.2. Going to take you through all of the steps with how to do it in today's video. So, hop over to our switch. What you want to do is have, want to be standing outside a Pokemon Center. Best way to gauge whether you're outside the Pokemon Center or not for knowing spaces so you can go straight in is going to be just going into the Pokemon Center, coming back out. So, you know, if you hit up, you are going to be going into the Pokemon Center. Then you want to have your poker catch device open. You're going to have to have it on the hidden moves section and have your cursor hovered over fly. And what you want to do on this screen is kind of mash in all together until you get the map up on the screen. So, you want to just do this over and over. You'll finally get it. I take a few times, there we go. Okay, you want to be listening as well to your character because at this point you should be able to still move your character. So, I'm just going to plug my headphones in so you can hear what you're doing. And you want to hit up to go into the Pokemon Center. So, as soon as you're in the Pokemon Center, what you want to be doing is going up two spaces. So, one, two. Then you want to go across like seven steps. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That should take you down the escalators into the Union Room area. You want to hit, when you're down there, when you've heard all that animation finish, you want to hit right again. And that will take you back up. And then when you're up here, you want to hit left five times. One, two, three, four, five. And then down three times. One, two, three, or two times, whatever. But you'll get outside the Pokemon Center doing this. And once you're outside the Pokemon Center, then you want to change over to your right analog stick because that's not going to move your character, but you are going to be able to go over to different places on the map because you want to select somewhere that you can fly to. So, this next step is a bit tricky. What you want to do is hitting A and then X after it. The problem is, if you get this wrong, it will freeze your game. So, before you start this whole process, it is worth just saving your game before you start this. So, if it does go wrong, if it does freeze, you can just restart your game and then boot it up again. What you want to do is hit A and X, like I said. So, you're going to bring up the option to fly somewhere so that yes or no, but you want to have the menu over the top. It's getting the timing right of it really in this screen because I've done it a few times and it's crashed a few times and I've done it a few times and go to right. And it's just trying to get the timing right. So, you want to let about here. I think it's worth just letting you know at this point the times that I've got this right is when I've let the city name or the location name kind of populate in that box. So, sunny show city is where we're going right now. I've let sunny show city and the question mark appear in the text and that's when I've hit X and that's when it's been successful every time. So, it's kind of just getting your timing right. Don't prematurely hit the X because that will cause the yes or no option to not appear and then you're going to be stuck in this screen and you're going to have to reset. But if you let that kind of location place populate and then hit the X just as it's finishing in the text box, that should be the way that it kind of works. So, here we go. You can see I've got the option to fly still but I got the menu open. So, I want to hit yes, it will fly but the menu will stay open when you're doing this. Like I said, just be patient with this step because like I said, getting it wrong will just make the map just appear and you can bring the menu back up but you're not going to have that option to actually fly anywhere which makes it a little bit tricky. So, if it does happen, if it does freeze just reset your game. Like I said, just save before you start this whole process. And when you do have to restart you have to go bring the menu, the map up, go into the Pokemon Center, come back out again stop this whole thing again to do it properly. But now as you can see we can move our character around if we want but we have got the menu up. So, it does work. Rather than moving your character around with your left analog stick, just use your right analog stick and you'll be able to use, go through the menu without moving your character. So, what you want to do is go into Pokemon and then go into boxes and you can see here if I go, I've got an empty box here, I've got a box here. So, what you want to do on this screen right now you want to just hit, click into a Pokemon. So, you've got this list and then you want to hit X. And then what you want to do is you see the menu glitches appearing again. So, you've got a menu inside a menu you want to go into this menu you want to go inside these boxes and the box that you want to clone you want to hit Y twice. Select the Pokemon and come back over, drop them here and then you want to hit B. And then you want to hit B and then you want to go down and check summary and then congratulations, the box will be cloned. And as you can see, oh, you can do it again and again and again if you want but there is the glitch. So, you can go back in and do this again if you want. If you've got another spare box to do it but that is pretty much how you do it. Just press B and press B out and then you are fine. And then you can come back in and you can check that you have done the glitch and you can see items have been cloned and Pokemon have been cloned as well. So, that is how to do it. And as you can see, if we go back to our home menu you can check on the version. Just press X on here and we are on version 1.1.2. So, there's the proof in the pudding. The trickiest part is I think friends is being able to do the flying part of it. So, when you've got that menu open once you've been in the Pokemon Center come out and you want to fly somewhere it's getting that menu screen open while you're flying. So, that is the trickiest part. It will take a little bit of patience because getting the timing right of that is a little bit tricky but we have got a way to clone Pokemon clone items again in 1.1.2. So, possibilities of doing other things that we've done before are endless now. So, we will be covering other updates with the glitch what we can do with it. Other advantages that you can have in-game as we go forward. If you'd like to see more do let me know down in the comment section below. And if you've enjoyed today's video and find it useful please leave a comment down below, leave a like on the video and do consider subscribing to the channel. And we'll leave it there. So, thanks for tuning in. Have a great rest of your day and I'll see you for the next one. Take care and bye-bye.

Halloween Kills | How Does Michael Myers Get UNMASKED + Soundtrack NEWS
|
John Carpenter's score for Halloween Kills will be available on October 15. The first track has officially been released and its titled Unkillable. Sounds like it should be included during a fast paced chase sequence between Michael Myers and some poor Haddonfield victim.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So let me talk about Halloween kills and the official or one of the official pieces of the score that came out earlier this week from John Carpenter and his son Cody Carpenter I believe is his name and David Howie I think is the other person's name, but the track that came out was titled unkillable I did touch on this a few weeks ago when I talked about the fact of that song leak It was one of the only ones that I could manage to listen to and just like how I said it sounded amazing then now that I know that That was actually real Officially confirmed with this official release. It's actually up for pre-order the whole soundtrack itself is up for pre-order I believe right now, but the track unkillable it is done To perfection I mean I could see this playing at a very or during a very intense chase sequence between the shape Maybe Lindsey Wallace or any of the characters that are in halloween kills this track unkillable The way it seems like it's just building and building and building and building with whatever emotions any character who is dealing with this Chase that's I'm assuming going to be occurring while this is playing It's just building and building and building on emotion. I can see this a company accompanying a Very high-paced or very fast-paced Chasing that has you on the edge of your seat. You're hold holding out and hoping that the character that's being stalked We'll make it out alive Most likely they won't I would have to argue that I think this is gonna be playing during Lindsey Wallace's kill Only because and I say kill only because of the fact that you know again going off of the trailers everything to show It looks like Lindsey Wallace will not be making it out of this movie alive Tommy Doyle at this point seems like he'll have a better chance of making it out alive Because of the fact that there hasn't been anything in the teasers to suggest that he won't make it out alive in my opinion Do I think he'll make it out alive? I I've said before that I don't really think Tommy will make it out alive But we're going off of what the trailers have provided Lindsey's chances of survival look a little worse than Tommy's Tommy seems like he has a better chance just based off of the trailers and TV spots that come out It looks like Lindsey has a better chance of dying than Tommy, but the track unkillable. I really liked hearing it I liked how it sounded. It definitely got me in the feeling of yes I am watching a Halloween movie or I'm going to be watching a Halloween movie I think I'll be watching this What I hope will happen is during the month of October during the week of its release. I'll watch Scream on Monday again in theaters for the first time and then Chucky the day after and Then Halloween kills the day after that like on the Wednesday before it comes out on Thursday night Or I could see Halloween kills and Chucky the TV series episode one in the same night That's what I hope so I have scream on Monday of October 11th and then Halloween kills and Chucky on October 12th That's what I would like to see happen, but the other thing I wanted to talk about was regarding the whole Unmasking of Michael Myers because we know in the trailer we've seen The shape will be unmasked and we've seen that there will be a moment where he is without his mask and James, you Courtney has talked about this in some interviews recently or in the past and I just want to talk about how exactly will he become unmasked one Whether or not this happens at many different instances in the film I don't know but one instance I can see this happening is during that whole house sequence where Cameron and Andy Matichak's character, I'm forgetting her name Allison are in whatever house there and I think it looks like the Myers house I'm predicting that's the Myers house they're in whatever house that they're in and when Allison is at is down is Downstairs yelling as the shape is trying to stab her to just do it I think from that point what happens is Karen comes from behind and just yanks the mask off or she does something to Get Michael off balance and then she takes his mask away from him and then that's when it leads to Michael Eventually coming after them and then there's that moment where she's standing there and just saying you want you want your mask Come and get it etc. I Think that would be one of the many instances where he could be unmasked If not the only instance because they could have instances where he's taking his mask on and off on and off on and off on and off For whatever reason I think that having him unmasked won't take away from the film as much So as it would if we're just seeing too much of his Not even seeing too much of his face because the thing that took it away in some of the previous entries like Halloween 5 was just having him cry and specifically Halloween 5 none of the other ones where he was unmasked was it really an issue of Him having him cry like that and just like what are you crying for? It was just a very bizarre Scene in Halloween 5 it wasn't it wasn't The emotion they're trying to get get in that scene. It's not done to perfection at all It's not even done good at all. It's you're more so wondering. Why are you crying right now? Michael? What's wrong with you? And then he snaps back into it. He puts his mask on it's okay Yeah, that scene was useless. They didn't have any tender moment there. There was nothing sweet about that moment It was kind of underwhelming and why is Michael Myers crying? But if you're just gonna have his mask off and the way he looks with his mask off as we've seen in Halloween 2018 He could still be very terrified. I that with having no expression on his face He's just an unstoppable killing machine going back to the title of that track that came out unkillable so I would think that would be one instance where he gets his mask taken off the other instance could be during a Altercation with maybe Tommy Doyle who knocks his mask off with his baseball back If he manages to do that somehow I know Michael Myers will undoubtedly not stop until he kills Tommy whether that be in Halloween kills or Halloween ends I think that would be something that's gonna be putting Tommy Doyle's character Basically solidifying a death sentence at that point if you hit Michael Myers so hard his mask comes off I can see Michael taking that some type of way and wanting to throw hands with you or deal with you in some fashion that would of course result in your Unfortunate death because you knocked his mask off and you basically disrespected that man But that's all I have for this video is as it pertains to that track that came out and just wanted to share my quick thoughts on The unmasking of Michael Myers that we know will happen in Halloween kills and how it could or could not happen You guys can talk about it down in the comment section below What instances in the film? Do you think will lead to Michael Myers being a mask if you think there are multiple instances where this will happen? Or if there's one those of you who read the script in its entirety do what you got to do in the comment section If you don't want any spoilers, I'm just gonna say it in this video. Don't read the comment section if you're trying to avoid spoilers I'm sure people are gonna just talk about how I was wrong and what happens because they read the script But whatever let me know what you guys think about this down in comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications The video in the description have links my social media accounts my Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course there's any movies news or views I'm gonna cover in the future here with all that in my guys I will see you in the next video

Hey there, everybody who's tuning in. How's it going? Hey Taylor. Good, how are you doing? Pretty good. I just realized as starting my stream, I am out of coffee. Oh no. I'm locked in though. It's okay. And, but otherwise pretty good. So, what are we doing today? Oh boy. Well, today we are going to be working through getting press books up and running in Reclaim Cloud for me. And Taylor is going to be walking me through this as one would walk a child through tying their shoe laces. Because I really wouldn't know how to do this on my own. So, we wanted to take advantage of this learning opportunity and share it with whoever might be interested. Out there. Well, and I know you're being modest. So, what I want to mention is I spent a little bit of time mostly yesterday kind of just making sure we could do the press book specific things. I know you're relatively comfortable at the command line. So, that's going to be basically what we'll be doing today like from a process standpoint, we'll be deploying WordPress on Reclaim Cloud which is like a one click thing. And then doing a few command line things to have the press book stuff work. And so, it should be pretty straightforward. Like I said, I did some testing yesterday and that's what I'm bringing to this is the testing I did yesterday. Yeah, awesome. I'm really excited. I think it's going to be great. Let's do it. So, let's dig right in. I'm going to throw your screen up. So, Man is already logged into Reclaim Cloud of course. What I'm going to have you start with is just by using the marketplace button and we're going to use the, if you go to content management, we're going to use the WordPress standalone kit. And so, most of this stuff we can leave just by, as it is, but we are going to want to check the WordPress multi-site network button. Okay. Because press books has to work as a network, which I mean, given what it is, makes sense. And why don't you give it like a nicer URL? Yeah. Okay, and we can go ahead and hit install. And that's going to take four or five minutes in some cases. It's actually doing kind of a lot. The standalone kit is interesting in Reclaim Cloud because it is one node, so like one container. And it's setting up a database, setting up a Lightspeed web server, which is Lightspeed is like compatible with Apache, which is what we use on Domain and Zoneshared hosting and powers a lot of the web. Lightspeed is really good at caching though and making things super, super fast. It's doing all of that. It's going to do a multi-site network. And we are going to have to, after this goes in, do some things with the PHP version, do some things with the version of WordPress it's running and then install press books. So, but while it's doing that, do we want to maybe talk a little bit about press books generally? I mean, I imagine a lot of people who maybe are clicking on this, if anyone ever does, do know what press books is, but it's probably worth explaining what it is, what it's good for. Totally. So press books is an open source publishing platform, specifically for eBooks. It's a flavor of WordPress that is particularly good at making open educational resources, essentially specifically that are textbooks. And that's certainly how I'm familiar with it and how I used it in my first ever position post undergrad. I worked as an OER publishing coordinator for the State University of New York system. And that entire system was built around using press books. And what we loved about it was how not only does it have this great interface online for displaying an open textbook, but it also really helped us provide print versions of those textbooks for institutions that wanted them. I was working with 64 campuses across the SUNY system and some professors really wanted their students to have print access at least to print versions of their open textbooks that they were using in their classes. And so we were able to produce those using press books at a very low cost when we factored in the rest of our resources that produced those books. So it has been a little while since I've worked with press books. So now that I have this opportunity to kind of revisit it as a reclaim person, I am really excited to kind of dig into it and see if it's changed and see its potential beyond the very limited scope with which I was using it initially. Yeah, I think it's, I really love the like the ecosystem that potentially exists with something like press books. The fact that we can use this huge and powerful CMS like WordPress to make OERs and they can kind of build this system off the back of something like WordPress that is so pervasive, right? WordPress has got to be one of the largest open source projects just in general, not just web projects, right? So that's really cool and I also really dig some of the minutia, I don't have a ton of experience actually using press books, just a very small amount, but the ability to clone books from other press books instances and bring them into your instances, that is really awesome stuff that, honestly, I would love to have a feature like that that was just for WordPress proper, like could you, it would be amazing if you could take a page or a post in WordPress and say, this is cloneable and then someone could bring that in and do that for course content that- Well, I think that that's what's really cool about when like products that are working or platforms that are working within open source. So this is something that just seems to be thematic of what's going on in the open source. So I think it's a really powerful aspect of open systems. So the fact that press books offers that, I know that Commons in a Box open lab offers cloneability. I think it's a really powerful aspect of working open, as being able to kind of make sharing easier. For sure, for sure. So I think it's almost done. Actually, I'm pretty sure I can see that it is done, but before we actually get back to the install, I do wanna do one quick little overview of press books itself, instructions here. So we just kind of take a look at, you know, I mentioned already sort of our workflows can be we're gonna deploy WordPress, we're gonna do a couple of things, we're gonna install press books. But I just wanna kind of compare that here and talk a little bit about like generally the environment of running press books because there are a few things to know about. So this is press books own install guide and I have to do something really quick because I forget, I have this bug on my Mac where the pointer when I share my screen is never in the right place unless I do something. It's amazing. Love Mac OS. Do not like this bug I've had for years. For a year, I guess. Okay, now it's good. So, okay, so this is their install guide and basically the very core of press books is just you need a WordPress multi-site and then you do some stuff with it. So their instructions kind of include like, hey, use PHP 7.4 and then they say usually the most recent version of WordPress is supported that usually is doing a lot of work here. We'll talk about it a little bit later. And so their instructions are, all right, install WordPress from scratch and create enable multi-site mode and here's how you enable multi-site mode. So this whole part we can basically skip because we just did that in Reclin Cloud. You could also do this part in C-Panel in Installatron and you would mark the, hey, I want to do a multi-site. That's one of the options in Installatron. That would work. We are gonna have to, in my testing, I found that either PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.0 works. So in both C-Panel and Reclin Cloud, it's actually pretty easy to swap PHP versions. So I think we're gonna go with 7.4 just because that's what they have listed on their website and I did get that to work. There could be some thing later on down the line, probably not today, but maybe in a follow-up stream that if we're doing other things that maybe 7.4 is still preferred for some reason. So I'm gonna go with their recommendation there. And then I also found that PHP WordPress 6.1.2, I think is the version as of today is not supported. So we're gonna use 6.0.3. And I found that by digging through their plugin files and reading their code. I don't have that documented, unfortunately. But I think they do support maybe 6.1. I've heard from folks that it can work on that version too, but I'm just gonna go with what they have written somewhere for the moment. And part of what we're doing this today is so that we at Reclin can kind of learn a little bit more about, or at least like the two of us can learn a little bit more about what works and what doesn't properly. Once we have this set up in Reclin Cloud, it'd be really easy for us to duplicate it and make changes, see what breaks, stuff like that. So down the line. So then this part is stuff that we will do. This is the press book stuff. And really what it amounts to is installing a plugin and two themes, basically. Then it's just kind of some setup of what you want to call your press books site and stuff like that. This part, part three. This is not, we're not gonna get into this today. This, though, is important to note. This is the main reason why you might want to do this in Reclin Cloud and not in C-Panel. So press books to do, to make all of the non-web versions of your book. So PDF, EPUB, XML validation, I think has to actually do with copying books between press books and networks. All of these require a server that you have root access to to install these dependencies. And many of them also don't play super well in a C-Panel environment. We have experimented with that at Reclaim in the Past, but we've had issues with making sure that this stuff can stay up to date in the way it needs to and not conflict with other things that are happening on the server. So this is why if you want any of these export features and a lot of the stuff that makes press books unique other than the look and feel and the publishing experience, that will all get. This stuff, though, we're gonna wait on today. Basically, we just have to do a little bit more testing and see exactly. I don't wanna waste anyone's time on a stream with us trying and making mistakes for 45 minutes. I mean, sometimes that's all right, but today we're gonna stick with what we know. So, but because we're doing this Reclin Cloud, we'll have the ability to do this stuff down the line. And maybe we do a follow-up where we install these things in your press books install. So, yeah, so that's the whole thing. I'm gonna take my screen away here and we'll check out where you're at in Reclin Cloud. So, okay, so it's deployed, it's all done. There's the URL for it. You also should have gotten an email with this same stuff available. I'll say right now, Amanda, what I like to do is kind of copy this and put it in a text file somewhere or just pull your email up so you have it because we will need the credentials for logging into WordPress, of course. Okay, one second. I have to periodically blow into my mouth because my cat hair gets all over it. Okay, all right. All right, so you were saying I should copy which credentials? Yeah, you can copy the admin panel section or like if you have the email up, you can just, you don't have to bring it on screen, of course, right? And we will also change this after we're done with this string. Yes. Yeah, so cool. So why don't you just click the open in browser button? Okay. And we will, yep, it's working. So let's try log in here to this WordPress install. With those credentials that I saved. Okay. Awesome, so currently the way the standalone kit works on WordPress is it deploys 6.0. The installer for this gets updated periodically and it's not a big deal because you can always, we're not gonna do this right now, but you can always hit the please update now button and it will go to the latest version of WordPress. So Pressbooks wants 6.0.3. I tried on 6.0 and the plugin won't activate. So what we need to do is we need to manually update WordPress to 6.0.3 and there is, you can't do that in the WordPress interface. You hit update, it's gonna go to 6.1.1. So this is where we're gonna start with the terminal. So if you wanna close and you can open up the terminal in the app server node. App server node. Yeah, so. The terminal. There you go. And just for anyone who's watching, who's not familiar with Reclaim Cloud, if you hover over app server, this and then the node right below it, those are the same thing. I do not know why they label them that way. It seems like, it looks like it's two things, it is not. So it's weird. Good to know. Yeah, so I just wanted to point that out because it's one of those little oddities that's very strange. Ooh, I forgot, we have to do one thing before we even do this, I'm sorry. I took nodes, but they're not great. So there'll be a lot of, ooh, I forgots I think. We do have to change the PHP version. You can actually see under WordPress, it says 6.0.12, that's the WordPress version. Sorry, in the tags column, near the middle. And then it says PHP 8.1, we definitely can't use PHP 8.1. At least I don't think we can. So if you go up to the WordPress standalone kit, title, let's actually change that with the little pencil icon to something, press books or something, cool. And then the third button in, that is change environment topology. This is where we can change our PHP version. So if you change over on the right side, it says of, sorry, in the middle column, next to LLSMP, yep there, we can change PHP there. Change the tag and scroll down, we're gonna go with 7.4, 7.4.28. Like I said, I had tested it with 8.0, it does seem to work fine, but that's what they have documented, so we're gonna go with that. Okay. This'll take a little bit, because it's technically, it's kind of wild, the way Reclaim Cloud does things is, it's not actually reinstalling WordPress, because we checked that box that said keep volumes data, where WordPress is installed, it's a folder called, that's var, www, web root, it's actually leaving that alone. So like the database, not that we've done anything, right? But it's gonna leave it alone. What it's actually doing is it's reinstalling the operating system around that, which like completely, which is kind of wild to me as somewhat of a Linux nerd that is kind of wild that it can just do that. But so what it's doing is it's reinstalling the OS around it with one that has PHP 7.4 installed. So this will take another minute or so, maybe even two minutes, because it's kind of a big thing we're asking it to do. Unfortunately, there's no good way that I know of to tell it to do this when we first install it. You kind of have to, when you use the marketplace, yeah, when you use the marketplace installer, it's gonna assume you want the latest version of PHP. So it's just one limitation of the platform. But it is at least pretty straightforward to do. We don't have to actually like go into like the package manager and like uninstall PHP or anything like that. I was fully prepared to have to dig in to change the PHP. So it was very, very neat that we could just go into that topology interface and just do a little drop-down thing, press another button. That's what I like about Reclaim Cloud. It's a little scary because it's a little different, but for the last part, it's pretty straightforward. Yeah, honestly, Amanda, that's I spent a lot of time yesterday figuring out how to manually reinstall the PHP version before I found what I just showed you. Oh my. I did not know. And this is stuff like I get like sometimes folks in Discord will ask me Reclaim Cloud questions. And they're like, you're the expert. I'm like, I'm the expert. I'm learning. You're the expert learner. Yes, I'm very good at learning things and then being honest when I don't know things. So let's, this is a small suggestion. Let's take your terminal and move it up a little bit. So we got more room to see things when we make mistakes. Oh, that's weird. I guess hit reconnect. Oh yeah, because we just reinstalled the operating system. I guess that's fair. Yeah. Okay, so what we're going to do first is let's just go back to the tab you have WordPress in, just make sure everything's loading. Sweet, awesome. All right, let's go back to Reclaim Cloud. And what we're going to do is we're going to go to the web directory that WordPress installed in. So again, you can CD into var www. And it will need a slash at the front actually. Okay. And then it'll be web root slash root all caps. Cool. And if you just do an LS for a sanity check here, we can make sure there's WordPress, great. So the standalone kit has the WP command line tool installed which makes updating and changing versions of WordPress like one command instead of having to like manually go and download it and stuff. So that's really cool. So what we're going to do is WP space core, space update, and then space dash dash version. And then they equals and then 6.0.3, 6.0.3. That's it? Yeah, enter. There we go. So we just replaced version WordPress with 6.0.3. Let's go back to WordPress, make sure it is actually running that. There we go, learn more about the 6.0.3 version. Great. I guess we could also might as well do an upgrade network. I don't, there's no other sites in the network, but let's do it anyway. And I guess while we're here too, let's go and update our themes and plugins too. Oh my. None of which we're of course going to use, but it's fine. The plugins we will, not kismet so much, but the Lightspeed cache will leave enabled that works great and it makes everything extremely fast. So cool. We are all set and let's go back to Reclaim Cloud and now we're going to go and get the press book stuff. So I don't think I can, yeah, I'm going to switch over to my screen for a second. So they recommend going and getting the press books stuff and like uploading it there and unzipping it. We're going to do this all via the command line because it'll save us a lot of time. But what we do need to do is get the actual install URLs that we're going to have to download from and those are all in GitHub. And so I will, it's going to be great. It's going to be a lot of me reading you URLs. But instead of doing that actually, you know what I'll do is I'll just copy these links and I will put them in our own little private chat here in StreamYard so you can grab them. So the first thing we'll do is get press books itself. So this one is a plugin. So what we need to do is CD into WP-content and then CD into plugins. And then LS, I just, yeah. Do we need to do that? No, this is my paranoia. It's just a comfort thing. It's funny when I ask people to do things in the terminal, I realize my things that I do without thinking about them and LS enters just like in my brain apparently. So what we're going to do is we're going to use WGIT to download. We could use curl. WGIT is simpler when you just need to download a thing. So WGIT space and then if you want to paste in that URL I put in StreamYard. Can do. And enter. Okay, and now we're going to unzip it. So unzip is the command space and then if you just start typing P-R-E and then hit tab, it'll complete it and then enter. I'm going to go. Sweet. Okay, so now we'll LS again just to see what we got. Great. So it did install it to, or unzipped to its own little press books folder. So that's awesome. We actually can leave that exactly how it is. Let's get rid of the zip file just because. So if you want to R-M and then P-R and let it auto complete tab thing. Oh yeah, I guess. Because there's a folder called press books. Yeah, all right. And then hit enter. Great, so now let's go up a directory. If you want to CD dot dot. And then we're going to go into, oh actually, so one of the things I forgot in the press books documentation is they want us to go and, so it says copy the press books plugin. We also need it, there's an auto loader file that we need to make as a must use plugin. I think that's what MU stands for in WordPress Multi-Sites. So we have to make the MU plugins folder and then copy a final into it. So MK Durr. From where we are now in WP content? Yes. And then MU-plugins. And then enter. And then we're going to do CP. And then plugins slash press books slash HM. And then you can probably hit tab, yeah. And then we're going to go to MU-plugins. OK, now to do that, we're using the CP command. Do I just type in? Yeah, so you can literally type in MU-plugins now. And then slash HM-AutoLoader. This more autocomplete. There's nothing there, of course. Yeah, so this is all relative pass, right? Because we don't have a slash in front of it. We're saying we are in WP content. Go in the thing called press books, find this file, move it to this place. So yeah. Cool. All right. And yeah, let's go in that MU-plugins folder just to satisfy my anxiety. Great. That looks good. So let's go back up. And we're going to go into the themes folder next. OK. And to be clear, too, if someone was doing this and is not OK with command line at all for whatever reason, first I say, it's not that scary. I can do it. Yeah. And the great thing about doing it in something like Reclaim Cloud is, the worst case scenario, you have to delete some stuff. And then start over. That's the worst thing that can happen. But anyway, you could do this via SFTP. You could unzip everything on your computer and then use an SFTP client. We have documentation on using SFTP with Reclaim Cloud. It's a lot slower because SFTP is very slow when it's dealing with a lot of little files, and that's exactly what this is. So that's why we're doing it this way. Yeah, makes sense. Cool. All right, so now we're going to download the two press books themes. And one of them is called Book, and one of them is called Aldi, and that's the front end, I think. I don't actually know. It seems like that's what the front end is, but. Probably. Yeah. So let's start with Book. I'll get that link here. I just copied it. I'm going to throw it in our private chat so you can get access to it. And let's do W get that link. Great. Let's unzip that. That's just press books, books, or is it just? You can hit Tab from there, and it should grab it. And we're going to do the other one, too, which is, sorry, we just did Book, so I need Aldi now. Cool. I don't know that we've ever done StreamYard stuff, where we're flipping back between people's screens, but this actually works pretty nice. Yeah. So OK, so you just downloaded that one, too. Let's unzip that one. OK. Great. And then finally, let's get rid of our zip files. And so we can just do rmsstrisc.zip. So that'll get rid of all the zip files. Great. And let's ls to make sure we did everything. Looks good. Awesome. Looks good. One of the things that you mentioned in the press books documentation is that themes have to have theme name without a version number on the end of it. By the way, that they have zipped these up, that is already how they unzip, but just worth mentioning. You can't have pressbooks-ld.0012, so we're all good. But if someone was doing this via SFTP, that might be something they'd have to worry about. OK, so we are theoretically done with command line for now. So what we need to do is go back into WordPress. And I'm going to flip back over the instructions for a second. And so we're just going to have to network activate the pressbooks plug-in and do some stuff with themes. I'm not going to go through all this, because most of it's pretty straightforward, actually. But yeah, so network activate pressbooks theme. There we go. It's red. Beautiful. Oh, it's like home. And we also need to go to the themes. Yep, I was just checking for a second to make sure that we are actually in the network, not like a subset, right? That's where we are. OK, cool. And yeah, we're going to network enable Aldean and McLuhan. McLuhan. McLuhan. McLuhan. OK. So a couple of things, really, that's kind of it. Like we have pressbooks now. So the rest of this is they're having us going to settings and to look at our registration settings, which we will want to do. So for this, we probably don't want anyone to be able to register a account. But if you're doing a real one for an institution, you may want people to be able to log into it. So that those options are in there. There's all kinds of other options in here in terms of uploading size. That max upload file size is real small. But things that you would want to check out. The other thing it recommends is to go to the dashboard for our, not our network admin, but the network homepage. So that would be under Hello World and dashboard. So first of all, I guess we could change this, too. So if you go to settings and then, yeah, I probably want to change the site title. Cool. And so why don't you save that. And then we'll go to appearance. And we'll make sure that Aldean is already active. So yeah, let's go to the front end of the site and make sure it looks the way we expect. Sweet. Beautiful. So that's a basic press books install. We haven't added any books or anything, but that would be the next thing that you could do. But we're really done with the actual install part. Awesome. So thank you. Yeah, no problem. So I want to talk ahead, because I do want to do a follow-up stream at some point on the other stuff with press books. For sure. Definitely most people are going to want to get into this. We're not going to have time to do it today. But a couple things. So this is all under part three, the dependencies. When we return for another stream, when we've had more time to test some things, we'll probably do a clone of our press books install so that we can make sure that if we break anything, we don't have to actually reset up press books, or most likely I will do that when I'm testing. So I just wanted to mention that that's something we can do in Reclaim Cloud, is we can clone the environment, test in there, and then whenever works, we can replicate on our real press books install, right? Yeah. And so Prince XML is going to be the big one. That's for PDF export. My understanding is this version 12 is based on a little bit of asking around I've done that maybe that's not accurate. I've heard some folks say that 14.2 is a version you want to use. I'm not sure if there's an actual, like it doesn't work on 12, or it's just you could be using a newer version than 12. So that's something I'm going to have to test. EPUB checks, so that's for EPUB validation. And so that's something we'll look at here. XML validation, so xmlint, the one tricky thing with this is this is saying, hey, you can just install it with apt-get. That will work on Debian and Ubuntu for Linux distributions. We are not using that. The WordPress standalone kit we are using is it's kind of sent to us. It's not actually sent to us, but it's similar. So it has a different package manager. So that's going to be something I'm going to have to look at, is this package here actually available for us, or do we have to install it a different way? And theoretically, we could have done this all in Ubuntu or Debian, but then we would have had to actually, I think roughly 20 minutes this actually took us to do, with some explanation, would have been much longer because we would have had to spin up a Linux server, install and configure MariaDB or MySQL, install and configure Apache, install and configure PHP, manually install WordPress, set up a database, all of that we would have done, much slower process. So yeah, install and configure the network. So this ultimately, I think, long term is going to be a lot easier for us to recommend, say, hey, you can skip all of that. Do the install installation of WordPress, of Pressbooks, sorry, and then install these couple dependencies, and here's how you do that in this environment, I think is a much cleaner way forward for folks who would want to do this on ReClean Cloud. So this is the stuff we have to research a little bit. But yeah, I'm kind of excited. I'm excited that even just the basic Pressbooks without all of the fancy parts is relatively simple to get forward once we're running the right WordPress version and PHP version and everything. So it's pretty cool. Yeah, I'm super stoked. Yeah, so if anyone finds this useful, please let us know. And I don't have any plans yet, because it's all going to depend on when we can find version to test these things, time to test these versions of things, words. But at some point, we'll do a revisit and get all that fancy stuff set up. And don't worry, we will be back because this is something that I'm going to be hounding Taylor about, because. Sounds good. Yeah, so. Sweet. All right, well, I'm going to turn the stream off, but thanks to anyone who was watching. We did have some helpful stuff in the chat, so that was great. Yeah, and so you have ready next time.

How Dragon Quest Fandom Created Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
|
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX has finally arrived. The remake of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team for the Game Boy Advance and Blue Rescue Team for the Nintendo DS is an absolutely adorable game, so now seemed like the perfect time to explore the history of the original titles that started this series.
Imagine our surprise, then, when we discovered that the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are themselves a spin-off of another series named the Mystery Dungeon series. These games are in turn a spin-off from the popular Dragon Quest games which, while never super huge in the West, are incredibly popular in Japan.
It turns out that there are dozens of Mystery Dungeon games from Chunsoft which play very similarly to Red and Blue Rescue Team (and the new Rescue Team DX). These games have simply never been localised into English.
So where did the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games come from? They are a passion project from Tsunekazu Ishihara, the president of The Pokemon Company. Tsunekazu moved mountains to get the original games made, when nobody else thought that they were a good idea. Even Satoru Iwata, master of making Pokemon games do incredible things, called the crossover an "impossible" prospect.
Thanks so much for watching. Please consider donating to our Patreon if you want to help support the channel (http://patreon.com/videogamestorytime)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is adorable. It's also a chance to revisit the very first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, which laid the groundwork for one of the most popular Pokemon spin-off series. Did you know, though, that Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team are actually also Dragon Quest spin-off games? Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team only came into existence because the head of the Pokemon Company is an enormous fan of the long-running Mystery Dungeon series of games from Chunsoft. Indeed, when Satoru Iwata first heard of plans to make a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game, he said, that sounds impossible. But it would be amazing if they could pull it off. Back in 1993, Koichi Nakamura, co-creator of the Dragon Quest series, was looking to make something new. A colleague was playing a lot of rogue, a tough game with a random layout that was different every playthrough. Koichi gave it a try and was very unimpressed. He said, I played it for a whole week and didn't see what was supposed to be so fun about it. As he stuck with it, he began to see the appeal but didn't like its random difficulty spikes. So Koichi and his team started experimenting with making their own rogue-like game but tried to make it more fair and balanced. The original Dragon Quest had been an endeavour to simplify the role-playing game experience, and this new title tried to do the same thing with the emerging rogue-like genre. In their game, players would face a Mystery Dungeon, filled with random runes, enemies, and loot, making the game feel fresh every time you picked up the controller but not overwhelming the player with tough difficulty spikes. The result was Tornico's Big Adventure, a spin-off from the Dragon Quest game, and the first title in the new Mystery Dungeon series. From here, Chunsoft took the formula and applied it to their own original characters but also worked with other famous role-playing game brands, such as Final Fantasy. It's worth noting that, prior to Red and Blue Rescue Team, only two Mystery Dungeon games were released in the West. This was not a series that had any kind of reputation outside of Japan. Enter Tsunekazu Ishihara, who would eventually become president of the Pokémon Company. The first time he played Tornico's Big Adventure, he was blown away. He loved this style of gameplay, a game he says he must have played a thousand times. Years later, when he started working on the Pokémon brand, he was desperate for the chance to work with Chunsoft on a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game. Tsunekazu was able to convince Chunsoft to consent to this collaboration, but many developers at the studio were hesitant to say the least. It was only because the head of the Pokémon Company himself was pushing for the game that it ever saw the light of day. Without really knowing how to approach this crossover, the creative team at Chunsoft decided to focus on giving the Pokémon a certain amount of charm. They tried to make them feel more like well-rounded characters than in the main Pokémon games, with their own personalities that shined through both the dialogue and the artwork. One creator, Shinichiro Tomi, wrote up a proposed story for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, which he took to Tsunekazu. Shinichiro wasn't entirely sure how to make a Pokémon-style narrative work for a Mystery Dungeon game, and it showed in his early story pitch. The head of the Pokémon Company flat out rejected this plan for the game. It didn't match his vision of how the crossover should work. As a fan of Mystery Dungeon games, he wanted a story that did justice to the series. Tsunekazu then instructed the team to create a story where the player is a human who is transformed into a Pokémon. This would help provide the game with that cute charm they were aiming for, and it made the game something fundamentally different from the main series Pokémon role playing games. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Red Rescue Team, and Blue Rescue Team were released worldwide, and quickly became Western audience's primary point of reference for the Mystery Dungeon games. From this, the Pokémon Company continued to work with Chunsoft on more titles in the series, all the way up to the present day, and the release of Rescue Team DX. All of this came about simply because the president of the Pokémon Company was a big fan of Mystery Dungeon games, and wanted to work on one himself. The moral of the story is that no matter how impossible your dreams might seem, you never know. They could come true. Don't lose faith. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Do your best, have patience, and look forward to the adventure that is waiting just around the corner. Thank you very much for watching. I'm supposed to direct you to some of our other videos now. Can't really recommend a specific one, but I'm assuming if you're here for Pokémon content, we've got lots of those. Go check one out. Hey, go watch all our other stuff!

Good afternoon. On behalf of the McLean Center and the Center for Health and Social Sciences, Dr. Meltzer and I are delighted to welcome you to today's lecture in the 2018-19 series on improving value in the U.S. healthcare system. It's a pleasure to introduce Professor Harold Pollock. Harold is the Helen Ross Professor at the School of Social Service Administration. He also serves as a professor in the Biological Sciences Division and the Department of Public Health Sciences. Harold is co-director, as many of you know, of the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the University of Chicago Health Lab and a committee member of CHAS, the Center for Health Administration Studies. Harold is published widely at the interface between poverty, policy, and public health. His research appears in journals like JAMA, the American Journal of Public Health, Social Service Review, but also in popular press like The Washington Post, The Times, The Nation, The New Republic, and so on. Harold is considered one of the country's leading experts on Medicaid policy. His talk today, as you see behind me, is Medicaid policies to serve severely disadvantaged populations. Please join me in welcoming Harold Pollock. I'll try to live up to Mark's generous billing. I always wish that my mom could be here to listen to those introductions, although she would add a few things that you somehow left off about that seventh grade debate contest that I won. Yes. It's a bit of a challenge to give a talk like this, because so many of us deal with Medicaid every day and are so aware of the challenges that we face. Of course, some of you have seen me talk about Medicaid before. I want to talk a little bit about some of the characteristic challenges that we see and have a good conversation about at least some of the work that we do. Thanks so much for coming. Here's my roadmap for the next three hours or so. I want to talk a little bit about the variety of severe disadvantages that people face and severe vulnerabilities, and also how we've made actually a lot of progress in Medicaid. We've created a platform to really help people, but we don't quite know what to do with it yet. It's not quite functioning the way that it needs to to really help people the way that we all want to. I'm going to focus a little bit on SMI and the opioid epidemic and also actually on the criminal justice population where David and I have done quite a bit of work in the health lab of late. Then I'll just offer some polonious-like pompous final bromides around five o'clock today. Medicaid has been traditionally the whipping boy of American health policy. When I was trained 20 years ago as a doctoral student, Medicaid was really considered to be the stepchild. This is a cartoon from the New Yorker who says, is there a doctor who accepts Medicaid in the house? That's one of those funny but not funny things that sometimes humor is a way to say stuff that is hard to say straight up. This question about what are we really doing if we give people a Medicaid card, but the program has some defects, what are we really giving to people? In a lot of ways there was a sense that Medicaid was inadequate, it paid too little, had all sorts of problems. The concept of Medicaid as welfare medicine is a very common trope. Those of you that have seen the recent debate about work requirements in Medicaid, that is largely about, is this a health insurance program, is this a welfare program? What is the social significance of being a Medicaid recipient in America now that 70 million Americans plus are receiving Medicaid? There's always been this fear that Medicaid recipients are politically marginalized and that we're leaving poor people to the tender mercy of the states. When I talk to people about health policy and people often say, we really should leave health policy to the laboratories of democracy across America. If that person is over the age of 65, I often say, how about if we do that with your Medicare and put the full faith and credit of the state of Illinois behind your Medicare benefits? Most people say, that doesn't sound like a very good idea. There's this sense that in the American social insurance system that we have always made a distinction between the truly worthy and powerful constituencies who get what we refer to as social insurance, which is often done at the federal level, and that we leave it to the states to support groups of people that we're a little bit more ambivalent about. And certainly the way that I would have taught Medicaid 20 years ago would really emphasize that pretty highly, and I certainly today I would talk about that. The low reimbursement rate of Medicaid, the incredible bureaucratic complexity of Medicaid is a significant problem. The cross-state variation in what's covered and the quality of Medicaid, and also simply the fact that if you move across state lines, that you have to reapply for Medicaid. From this very spot, I've talked about my wife and I, our experiences taking care of her brother-in-law, who was a Medicaid recipient in New York State, and when his mom died and he had to move into our home, he was suddenly without his Medicaid because we live in Illinois at the precise moment that his mom had just died. And when you're a Medicare recipient, you don't have to worry about that. Then there's indignities such as the $2,000 countable asset test for people who qualify for Medicaid through disability. Your family home is actually to a significant extent sheltered from this requirement, but if you think about how hard it would be to live in your home if you can only have $2,000 in countable assets, what do you do during the polar vortex if your pipes burst and you got a sudden bill? And all of the mundane ways that we treat people indecently, particularly here in Illinois, where we really rank quite poorly in national rankings, we sometimes talk about the blue states and the red states. And here in Illinois, we like to consider ourselves a blue state. But if that comes with a connotation that we offer more generous and competently delivered social policy, that would be a difficult hypothesis to confirm in the data, even compared to with some of the neighboring more conservative states. Have I left anything obvious off of this list of Medicaid bad things? David? I think that point is very well taken. And so under the hood of the obvious problems are the not so obvious problems. By the another one is that is that we also pay late and Medicaid is a poor payer. I've spent a lot of time talking to people in this hospital about why how it would be nice if we were nicer to people on Medicaid in this hospital. And one of the things that people say to me back is, let's just talk about how much money right now as you're asking this question, the state of Illinois owes the University of Chicago Medical Center. And it's often a nine figure sum. And that kind of kneecaps my efforts to try to advocate within an institution where people have to worry about things like that. And so there's a whole, there's a whole variety of obstacles. Yeah, and I'll put I'll put a pin that by the I think that also varies across states quite a bit. And you can have high quality governance with a very, a very generous Medicaid program and high quality governance with a very panerious Medicaid program. When you start to want to have a blue state policy with red state financing, that's when you run into a problem. Yes. When they are covered, they sometimes just drop out of cover. They don't seem to be aware that change in the life is so dramatic. But it's also those of us who are on the outside looking at it, in any case, that it's nearly impossible to gather data to have any way to put them accountable for any aspect of the work that is supposed to be going on or any way to check any of the claims, claims for putting the request from the person by the claims and Medicaid makes in terms of what's covered and what's not covered. And the second is the MCO system has created a whole new level of the loss of any understanding because there are so many different variations across the MCO system that started to just look at the drugs that they covered and how they became accessible. So now I can say, I'm going to acknowledge and put a pin in these points that you guys are making. We could spend an entire week outlining more of these. Some of these, by the way, also apply to private coverage as well because one of the striking things is if you ask individual patients, patient satisfaction surveys, things like that, Medicaid compares surprisingly favorably with private coverage. But there's significant issues, which I would say 10 years ago we would say are kind of decisive and relate to the deeply stigmatized position of Medicaid within the health politics of American government. By the way, one thing that hasn't come up that I do want to mention, one of the most mundane realities is just getting people access to basic services like dental care. Mark mentioned that I used to write for The Washington Post. I still write for them, but I don't have a regular column anymore. I did a piece on dental care and I just went up to the Heartland Clinic and I just met a couple of people. And this is a pretty young lady that I met who had a toothache and she was describing how every morning she had to call at 6 a.m. to try to get into a dental clinic and she was on a waiting list and the one morning when they could take her, she was taking a test for an educational thing and she ended up losing a tooth. And, you know, it wasn't the worst thing happening to her that she lost a tooth. But I remember I was talking to her and she kept smiling like this. She kept her mouth closed and she felt very stigmatized. And, you know, she lost a tooth. And, you know, it didn't have to happen. And this is another man that I met the same day who hadn't had his teeth cleaned in two years. He's a Medicaid recipient in Illinois here and he's been chewing on the left side of his mouth for two years. And the lack of imagination in our policy construct to provide basic services like this certainly makes, you know, it's a real thing. But then we get to something else that's happening which is the surprising political resilience of Medicaid and its position that turns out to be much less stigmatized than we might have thought. And in many ways, you know, a year and a half ago Republicans tried to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and that effort failed. And it's really striking how the popularity of Medicaid turned out to be fundamental to why that effort failed. Republican governors around the country, advocacy groups, many, many people, including people in this room who could give us a long list of why they're really angry about Medicaid, when the issue came up, should we block grant and cut Medicaid? People said, no, we're actually going to go to Washington and try to kill any politician who tries to do that. And it was really striking in a couple of different ways that Medicaid turns out to be an essential pillar for a lot of things and it has some unexpected constituencies that people didn't really understand. And I want to just lay out a few examples of that. By the way, that's true on both sides of the aisle. Is anybody familiar with Senator Sanders as an advocate for single-payer healthcare? Bernie Sanders is a senator from Vermont. He ran for president just to bring us all up to speed. That was supposed to be a joke, but the other guy says, please clap. So it turns out that Senator Sanders' single-payer bill is not a single-payer bill that he has specifically carved out the disability components of Medicaid and said, I'm not going to touch that. And I think that was a very wise decision. One reason is we've had, since 1965, 50 states have wired up a way to take care of people with disabilities. And Senator Sanders and his staff widely said, you know, if we try to rewire that, wow, we're going to scare a lot of people and we're probably going to screw a lot of things up that people have figured out how to do since 1965. And it was striking in that way. It was also striking how Republicans thought that if they specifically left alone the pieces of Medicaid that are designated as disability, that the disability community would at least be permissive about a lot of the changes they wanted to make to the ACA Medicaid expansion. And that turned out to be absolutely the opposite of what happened. Every single disability advocacy group in the United States was hotly opposed to that repeal effort. Now, part of it was that they were going to block grant Medicaid, which people understood in the long run was a way of cutting the program. But also it turned out that people, the ACA Medicaid expansion is serving a function for people, including people with significant vulnerabilities that we don't think of as the group served by the Medicaid expansion in a way that was not understood. So what's the distinction between the ACA Medicaid expansion and Medicaid that someone would get because they're on SSI? Anybody want to fill us in on that? Anybody? Those of you that are on Twitter asking about, you know, this is your moment. So one thing, every state has multiple flavors of Medicaid. And there's this saying, if you've seen one Medicaid program, you've seen one Medicaid program, that's actually itself oversimplified. If you're seen because each state has more than one Medicaid program. And so we tend to think of the idea, if you're disabled, like my brother-in-law Vincent, you would be getting a Medicaid on the basis of a disability diagnosis. And you would be getting a set of services that come with that and that come usually with an SSI, receiving SSI. Well, it turns out that disability as designated in that process is a binary thing. You're either disabled or you're not. It turns out disability in the human life world that we live in is a multi-dimensional and continuous thing. And there's lots of people who have disabilities who need Medicaid but who are not on it through the root, through that traditional root that has the word disability on it. Why would that happen? Anybody have a sense of why that? Maybe you have patients for whom this is true. Why would that happen? This is the pop quiz part of the talk. What is the definition of disability? So we'll make that a little more granular if you could. Well, over time, HIV evolved, expanded. So one thing is there's people who are marginal. Like, suppose I'm a 50-year-old man. I've been laid off from my job in an unskilled... I used to be a coal miner and I got laid off. And I have a sore back and I'm kind of depressed. And I'm having trouble finding work. But it's not exactly clear what's going to happen to me through that disability process. And maybe part of the reason why I got some problems is I have some issues with OxyContin that are kind of part of it too because my back hurt and I started taking prescription opioids. And what is true about addiction in terms of the disability designation in Medicaid? Anybody know? Not only is it not a disability, it's a contributing factor in the determination of disability. So anybody who's affected by the opioid epidemic, they cannot be on Medicaid SSI because of an opioid disorder, even if it's an obvious, properly diagnosed disorder that is disabling. You could be homeless living in a homeless shelter because you have a drug addiction and alcohol problem that's very severe. You're not eligible through that route to get Medicaid. So that's one issue. By the way, there's some other reasons why somebody might be on Medicaid in another way. So Albert mentioned one issue. What's another issue? Somebody go, yes? And there's all sorts of interesting normative questions about what counts as a disability. And if I use a wheelchair but I'm a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, maybe I'm more competitive in the labor market than someone who does not need to use a wheelchair but has no marketable skill in the labor market where they live. But also I could also have problems like I could have $10,000 in the bank and I'm not going to meet the asset requirement. But I have very low income and there's all kinds of reasons. So it turns out that a lot of people were using the ACA Medicaid expansion who had genuine disabilities. And that was something that Washington was late to get that memo in terms of reaching out to constituencies. The other interesting thing is that the consumer experience in Medicaid turns out to be better than the experiences many people have on the Affordable Care Act state marketplaces. By the way, this has had an ambiguous impact on American politics. Many people who supported President Trump in 2016 in places like West Virginia, Kentucky, one of the sources of great resentment was I'm on this crappy insurance, whatever you call it, through Obamacare and if I go to the emergency room it's going to cost me $600. And my cousin, who everybody understands is a total screw-up, he's on Medicaid and he can get all this stuff for free. But you can imagine that that has some very interesting long-term implications for the future of American healthcare if people think that Medicaid is better than what they have. And many of the under-the-hood issues that David mentioned from a patient perspective, that's not necessarily what they see. And it was also interesting, I'm going to come back to this, when you talk to Republican politicians around the country, there was some interesting developments around that as well and I'll come back to that. There's also some other things that turn out to be valuable about Medicaid and this is the part of the talk that many of my progressive friends find a little bit less comfortable. You know, I teach at SSA where I'm actually the right flank of the school, I think, which is... you know, I'm the house arch-conservative because I'm a liberal Democrat but that's the... So, you know, Medicaid gives voice to local values and experiments, the waiver process, there's a number of aspects of Medicaid that allow different policy choices to be made and different political compromises to be made. And, you know, I often don't like what these compromises are. For example, Arkansas has put in a work requirement that in many ways is poorly designed and I consider to be cruel to people who end up discovering that they're kicked off a program because they failed to meet a bureaucratic requirement and there's a lot about the work requirement that I personally would not do. But what those things do is they... I also, though, in the larger picture, I say, well, there's Arkansas where they have a work requirement I don't like and there's Texas where they just did not expand ACA Medicaid at all and if you have a stroke in Texas and you are a poor person and uninsured, you're out of luck in a lot of ways. Which do you like better? The work requirement that's not ideal but that allows you to take care of people or nothing. And there's a sense that states can find a dignified political path to create bipartisan compromises through Medicaid that you can't do in Washington. You know, governors, if you remember the House of Representatives in the United States, you really don't run anything. You can basically babble like I'm doing right now with no consequence. And if you're the governor of Ohio or Wyoming, you can't do that. You've got a rural hospital that might close. You've got a bunch of real problems that you have to deal with. And Medicaid... there's a supple T to allowing Medicaid to be the vehicle where these compromises are made. That's a real thing. And, you know, many of my progressive colleagues are like I have a two-step process for bringing about universal coverage. Step one, we achieve permanent political dominance at every level of American government. And then step two, here's what we do. Can we just kind of go back to step one for a second on that? Medicaid allows for compromise in a real way. Medicaid is also the safety net for the safety net. And that's also something that's very important. Anybody familiar with the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment? How many of you have seen at least 52 talks and blog posts about the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment? So the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment found that the physical health benefits of giving someone Medicaid were real but modest. And the benefit was mental health, reduced anxiety over finances and so on. But the benefits weren't as great as one might have expected. And one reason why was that the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment, giving someone Medicaid partially substituted for free care they were getting anyway. A very large fraction of people in the control group were getting more than 60% of the medical care of the people in the treatment group, as I recall. And so to a great extent, what the Medicaid expansion is doing is it's subsidizing the care, it's stabilizing that network that provides the care. And that is just as important as what the human beings see who get the care. And particularly cities and counties, Medicaid is a critical thing. One of the late intentions in American politics when it comes to taking care of really severely disadvantaged populations is what is the distribution of burdens between states and more local units of government, which are often the ones that are really left holding the bag to do homeless services, to do addiction treatment, and so on. And Medicaid is often stabilizing that. And Cook County Health System, Medicaid expansion has been very, very important to the financing of that. So we built this costly platform, and let me talk a little bit about what's working and what's not working in these three critical populations. Criminal justice population, people who use drugs or otherwise have substance use disorders, people with serious mental illness. And at least I'll tell you a little bit about the world that I see. And I think a lot of us in the room see different aspects of this. But that's what I see. So let's start with what we're doing right in criminal justice. First, in a place like Cook County, David and I are doing a big trial called the Supportive Release Center of people leaving Cook County Jail to make sure they have a place to go if they're leaving at 10.30 at night. And one of the really amazing things about Cook County Jail is almost everybody that's going through there is insured on Medicaid. And they do a great job there. They enroll them on jail entry, which is a lot easier to do than doing it when people are leaving, when it's sort of a chaotic process and people just want to get the heck out of there. You know, we do see some people who are undocumented, who are not Medicaid eligible, but very small number. And that's quite something. And it's also striking that there's a very broad bipartisan consensus that this is a good thing. And I was an advocate for the Affordable Care Act when it passed. And this is really striking to me. And I'll come back to this one or two times again. But when ACA was passed, many of us were very worried that there was going to be a Willie Horton-like politics around expanding Medicaid. You know, what the ACA Medicaid expansion does is it provides health coverage to basically low-income adults who are not vets, who are not moms, who are not disabled, who are not eligible for public insurance any other way. And if you start thinking about who are the large populations of people who fit that description, you very quickly realize, wow, the criminal justice population is one obvious place where you're going to find a lot of people. And there was a tremendous fear that we were going to have Willie Horton leaves Cook County jail, gets enrolled in Medicaid, and butchers a nun and ends up on the front page of the Tribune. That was a very real anxiety. One of the interesting things is that that has... Republicans have not done that at all. There have been a couple of Republican politicians around the country who've dipped their toe in trying to say that Medicaid expansion is subsidizing criminals, things like that. That has not been where Republicans want to go with this. They don't feel it's a politically effective message and it's not a message that they feel good about that they want to do in terms of their values. When we talk to Republican politicians around the country, most people that I've talked to say, I think it's really important that we give health insurance to people leaving the criminal justice system who have profound problems that we have to take care of. That's interesting. And actually it turns out that David Dagan and Steve Tellis have a wonderful book on criminal justice reform called Prison Break, where they talk about how within the deepest red states in America there's a real groundswell of support for criminal justice reform. That's a real thing. It comes from Christian conservatives who are very motivated by their redemptive possibilities of people who are moving through the criminal justice system, who they want to assist. And it comes from libertarians who are very unhappy with the idea of mass incarceration. In fact, the rhetoric of this movement has things like prison guards are bureaucrats with guns. They actually have talking points that they distribute to conservative politicians in places like Texas, South Carolina, Alabama, where they're trying to deal with some of these mass incarceration issues. Very, very important. This is not a liberal thing. They do not bring liberal policy experts in to talk to people. This is not at all the identity vouching that they want to be doing. But it's a real thing. And there's been a very strong support across the board that we have to help people going through the criminal justice system, that it speaks well of American politics. Yes. Mark. Is it done for financial reasons or to improve the care of the incarcerated? It's funny. A little bit of both. So one of the things that's happened in a place like Texas, where basically conservative Republicans have, maybe they're a little nervous now with the veto thing, but they basically own the state politically and they're saying we could build a new prison and do a tax cut. What's interesting, by the way, is Republican politicians in the purple states are more resistant to this, because they still need the criminal justice issue as a partisan tool as they fight with Democrats. In places that are solidly Republican, they really do start saying, well, how do we want to spend our money? And is this just too expensive? And we don't need the issue from a partisan perspective. But I think it's a very genuine thing. I think to a great extent people are motivated in a very genuine way by a sense of values that something has gone badly wrong with the criminal justice system. Now there's some things we're not doing right. And some of them are obvious. We do a very poor job of making sure that people actually have practical access to services. This is particularly true in jails. So there's prisons and there's jails. And basically if you're convicted of a serious felony, you go to prison and jail is much more the place where people go while their charges are being adjudicated, if they have a less serious charge, they've just been arrested. The jail is a much more fluid place, often includes people who have significant life challenges going on. And at 26th and California, we have people who might be leaving at 10.30 at night who are at this moment a maximum personal vulnerability and you say, who's paying attention to those people? And the answer comes back with nobody. And what we're trying to do with the supportive release center trial with TASC and Heartland is to say, can we at least give people a place to go so that we can take care of that? And I'll come back to that in a minute. Very poor attention to social determinants in Medicaid. Come back to that. And all of the ways that we don't really give people access to services even when they're nominally eligible for them. And of course, in the deepest red states where there's no Medicaid expansion, people leaving the criminal justice system are by and large uninsured. And that's a particular challenge. By the way, when people who are in the criminal justice system are injured, we did a study of gun offenders. Anybody know the percentage of gun offenders that we interviewed who have been shot in their adult life? Let's just give you an idea of one aspect of this. The people we interviewed, 40%. Not shot at, shot. Before ACA Medicaid expansion, those people were almost always uninsured when they were shot. And some of those people were walking with colostomy bags because they got emergency care when they got shot in the abdomen, but they couldn't get surgery to get that fixed afterwards. People who were wearing helmets because they had missing pieces of skull and they were trying to find a physician who would close up the... We don't see that after Medicaid expansion in Chicago, Detroit, the way that we did 10 years ago. But we do see that in Houston, Miami, places where they don't do the Medicaid expansion. Another challenge we have is just bureaucratic siloing. We decouple correctional healthcare from Medicaid. So when you come into the correctional healthcare system, you are disenrolled in Medicaid. And the services that you get in that setting are paid for in a totally different way. And then you have to be reconnected to Medicaid when you leave. And guess what? There's all kinds of problems with that process in terms of continuity of care and so on. And so we've created a real transitional nightmare with that. And many people are trying to improve that process. But it's... Arizona actually has a Medicaid waiver where they're trying to do all their correctional care through Medicaid, which would be a much better system. The federal government doesn't like that because basically it would have to pay the federal match for the correctional care. Just one of the predictable issues that we have, when people leave prison, they have an incredibly high risk of death. The risk... The adjusted mortality rate in the first two weeks leaving correctional setting is about 12 times that of the general population. The two most common causes of excess mortality are homicide and opioid overdose. And I'll come back to that. But there's a famous study by Ben Zwanger and colleagues. So people are precisely at the moment when they're between systems. They're at the maximum vulnerability. So let me say some things about addiction. Again, there's some surprising things that we're doing right. So I mentioned the Willie Horton anxiety around the criminal justice process. There was the same anxiety that advocates for the Affordable Care Act had about addiction and mental health parity. And in fact, the addiction community while the Affordable Care Act was being formulated developed a whole political strategy about how to present addiction in the political process as ACA was being debated. And they go to the Senate Finance Committee and every Republican votes for all of the addiction and mental health measures in the Affordable Care Act, including the ones... These are all people who voted against the Affordable Care Act in its final bill, but they all voted for the substance use and mental health parity components that never became a controversial issue in ACA in a really striking way. Part of it was that President George W. Bush had made important contributions to mental health parity. It turns out that substance use and mental health parity is kind of a core principle in American politics right now. Whether it's actually implemented is another question. But we assume that many of us were overly pessimistic about what the values were in the American political process. It seems like everyone that you talk to has a cousin or a spouse or themselves have had issues like this, and the conversation in American politics is much more humane than it was, for example, during the crack epidemic 25 years ago. Part of the issue is that we also do not have a large amount of drug-related crime in America right now. It certainly exists, but there's no fear of massive crime, and that has a big impact on the way people think and talk about these issues. People think about people involved in the opioid epidemic as people who need help. Not people who are going to punch me in the face to try to steal my backpack. And that matters. One of the things that I'll get to in a minute, I've been talking to policymakers around the country, and it's really striking how when states were debating should we expand Medicaid after the ACA, the addiction component became a feature, not a bug, from the point of view of many Republican politicians around the country. We should expand Medicaid because it will help us with the addiction issues we're facing as a state. That was very important. That was totally the opposite of what many of us expected in how this conversation was going to go. There's some evidence that Medicaid expansion promotes more integrated care. Tom Diano and I published some papers where we found that there were more integrated care arrangements that involved specialty addiction providers in states that expanded Medicaid than in other states. There's also a lot of evidence that states that didn't expand Medicaid that just people with addiction disorders have a much harder time getting treatment. Things that we're not doing so well now, getting to David's point, the under-the-hood aspects of Medicaid really strongly influence access and quality and are not done very well in many states. Very few states cover the full range of evidence-based care. If you look, for example, at the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the continuum of care that they identify, very few states cover the full gamut the way that it would be nice if they did. The other aspect I don't think has gotten nearly enough attention, but I'm worried about for the future, which is where we have this, everything that everybody is doing right now with Medicaid and addiction is being framed by the opioid epidemic. If you talk to anyone within five minutes, they will start talking about the number of people who have died of opioid overdose in their state and how they're on fire to try to reduce that number. And the Trump administration, Congress, every state, every interest group is saying we've got to do something to stop people from dying. We have 72,000 people died last year of drug overdose. That's way worse than HIV at its peak. It's way worse than gun homicide. If you add it onto AIDS at its peak, it's unbelievably bad. But there's a problem that that's framing everything. And, you know, there's a lot of different kinds of addiction issues that people have. And if we start rewiring how we do residential addiction treatment based on the needs of people with opioid disorders, for example, it's not at all clear that that is the right way to do it when people have alcohol disorders or serious mental illnesses that require residential care who just have different needs. And I think we're going to discover that we're making some big policy mistakes because of that coincidence. In a way, it's been generative that people are so... There's a humane conversation about the opioid epidemic. That's good. But I think a lot of the details we're going to get wrong for other kinds of addiction disorders because we're so focused on that. And the opioid epidemic, I should also say it's just really hard. I think if we had absolutely excellent policies and interventions that were everything that everyone asked for, we would still have tens of thousands of Americans dropping dead every year from this thing. And that's just a reality. It's just a really, really hard problem. And it's not one that if you put me in charge of it that I feel I could just solve it. I was actually on an NIH study section two weeks ago called something called the HEAL Intervention where states were asked to submit huge grants. Each grant was maybe $120 million level. And you had to promise that you would reduce opioid mortality by 40% in three years. And when I was reading these applications, my thought was zero of these applications are going to... They're excellent applications, but zero of them are going to reduce opioid mortality by 40%. That's just... I just don't see that we know how to do that. Some things that I just want to mention in the two hours that I've left, so one of the real challenges we have with addiction is the way that we separate personal health services from public health. And this is really a big problem in addiction in a couple of different ways. One is that we need to do a lot of harm reduction in the context of HIV prevention. That would be syringe support programs, giving out sterile syringes, things like that. Medicaid typically does not pay for that. Case finding, distributing naloxone to prevent overdose. Those things tend to be quite separate from Medicaid and therefore quite separate from the health services that Medicaid pays for. So if you go into addiction treatment, they really need to be giving you an extensive package of overdose prevention supports, partly giving you naloxone in case you relapse when you're... We have some continued level of use, partly to connect you with a local service provider who can help you with the issues that you might have. That's not really happening. There are ways that addiction is stigmatized. It's harder to get transportation supports, for example. If you only get to addiction treatment, then it is. If you have other kinds of health problems where you might need transportation to a health care provider. And also uncertainty about Medicaid's future. When we talk to addiction programs, one of the things that we hear is we're afraid to take full advantage of what Medicaid offers right now because it's such a politically volatile issue. And so we are worried that if we expand services that what will happen is we will end up putting down a lot of fixed costs and then Congress will cut Medicaid and we will be stuck. And that's a big challenge that people... where political polarization makes it hard to on the ground do the things that people would like to do. What we've seen so far with the Medicaid expansion is programs are... there's less of an expansion of overall capacity than there is an expansion in just programs being paid for things they're already doing. And they're waiting for the dust to settle politically. Just some work that we... this is actually Brenda and Salana and Colleen Berry and Ken Stowler looked across states and found states vary dramatically in what their Medicaid programs cover. And amazingly enough, the states that generously cover methadone maintenance, a much higher percentage of people with opioid disorders are actually enrolled in medication-assisted treatment, which is the evidence-based treatment. Many states do not cover methadone or do not cover methadone properly in a generous way. And you see many more people are outside of the treatment system in those places. One in 20 justice-referred adults in specialty treatment for opioid use receive methadone or buprenorphine. This is terrible. This is the standard of care. And almost no one who is getting justice-referred treatment is getting the proper treatment right now through these vehicles. And when we looked across states, this is from a health affairs article that Colleen Grogan is the first author on from our INDATS group. We found basically the blue states cover a lot. The red states cover less. Notice, by the way, blue and red does not match the political blue and red Texas. You see they cover quite a bit. Whereas some of the states that are hardest hit, like Kentucky, are really lagging behind in just covering what people need. So it's not enough to just cover addiction treatment. You have to cover the treatment that works for the person's condition. So some more on the INDATS. We did find the major story is the differences between the expansion and non-expansion states. The biggest thing that we found under the hood when you mentioned managed care is the places that required prior authorization for buprenorphine treatment. Units were much less likely to offer that kind of treatment. They just did not want to deal with Medicaid to get the prior authorization. A patient would call up and say, I really think I should be on Suboxone, which is buprenorphine. And the units would be like, it's just too much hassle to deal with Medicaid around that issue and they're just not doing it. So we did find an expansion of services, but an incomplete expansion. So I'm getting down there. Hang in there with me. We also found that it mattered quite a bit whether there were physicians who were equipped to prescribe the treatments that people need, the places that had a good supply of physician. This is actually a paper that I did with Huffay Nguyen and Jason Hockenberry. We found that when there's buprenorphine-wavered physicians, it's a lot easier to get Medicaid services for people than otherwise. And we did find many, many restrictions on Medicaid that percolated through to patients. And I think that the bottom line is really that prior authorization of services is the key constraint that we found in Medicaid. This is Christina Andrews, the first author on a lot of these papers. It was quite striking how important that aspect of Medicaid was. In fact, if you show up in your cash-paying patient, they might be more willing to deal with you. Did you have a question, Mark? So let me get on to serious mental illness just in case you're not depressed enough with everything else I've been telling you. Many of the same issues come up with SMI and many people with SMI are in different types of Medicaid. And that was some of the people protesting. This is a protest during the ACA repeal. People with serious mental illness kind of were in the background compared to the people using wheelchairs from the optics point of view. But a lot of people with facing mental illness issues were very concerned about the repeal. This was a group that was called Not Dead Yet, which is one of the greatest advocacy names ever. So some things that we're not doing so well. Housing is a big one. A lot of people with serious mental illness need help with housing. And they need to have integrated care within the medical care system, but also between the medical care system and other sectors. And I'm going to spend the last 10 minutes of my talk laying out some of that. So a lot of us who cover Medicaid a long time have always been wondering, can't we find housing? Wouldn't that be so much more cost effective for so many people who keep showing up in the emergency room, for example? And David and I are involved in some interventions around that. Yeah, this one? It's interesting, because once you're on SSI, you're suddenly insured by Medicare, right? Well, SSDI would get you the Medicare. So SSDI, I guess that's one. So insured, as things go, everything's paying better, full payments, then we have the Medicaid. It's really not valid. And so I'm wondering, is part of this problem that we're not managing the transition to SSDI well? And what part of it is? And then occasionally also, you will honestly meet people, not so much in the hospital, I find, but in the clinic who are on disability. And you kind of wonder why they're there and how they got there. My experience with a few of them is that they're actually pretty high-functioning people just have to figure out a way to get this system to work pretty well for them. So, you know, there are problems on both sides. Well, you identified, oh, I'm sorry. I said there are problems on both sides of this, but I just wonder how much, you know, when we think about what's wrong or right about Medicaid, which leads to this population, the issue isn't maybe only just or even so much Medicaid, but the other programs that Medicaid surround. Well, I think that last point is so on target, because Medicaid is basically the safety net for every other program. And in the context of SSDI, the major way that it is is when you qualify for SSDI, once you get on the program, there's a two-year waiting period to get Medicare. During that time, that's when many people suffer the most punishing financial consequences of disability. And that two-year waiting period made some sense in the pre-ACA era when there was a sort of hazard issue around disability insurance and a desire for private disability insurance to pick up some of these costs. But very often, people, when they first get on SSDI, they have to wait two years to get Medicare. It's complicated. SSDI is a very complicated program, but that's a big challenge. And there certainly are people who are ambiguous cases in SSDI. And so that's no question. So there's a real set of issues there. And to the extent we can decouple the health insurance question from the financial assistance question also, that would, of course, be better. So I did some work in Chicago here, where I, again, I did some... By the way, those of you that know that I'm interested in personal finance would love that I've got this annuities ad up on the corner, which I take no responsibility for. So the people that are sort of the friendly faces who keep showing up. So I went up to Uptown, and I talked to some folks who live in supportive housing. This is a man named Haywood, who has had a whole series of medical challenges, and his entire life was stabilized when he was put into an apartment that costs, like, $800 a month. And he's now... His grandchildren come and visit him. He's got a refrigerator to hold his medicine. His life was transformed. That's his caseworker from Heartland there, who's a wonderful person. Here's another lady, Antonia, who had some similar issues. And supportive housing was just fantastic for her in many ways stabilizing her condition. And ended up being much cheaper because she was... Her health care utilization really stabilized when her life stabilized. The ability to have your own private space to be if you have a serious mental illness and you might be dysregulated every now and then is incredibly important. You just have a private space to be so that no one's... You're not freaking out other people or getting into conflicts, whatever. You can retreat, have some privacy. So Steve Brown, many of you know, over at UIC is doing a lot of work to try to house what are sometimes called the superutilizers. They're various names for folk. And it's a wonderful program in a lot of ways. Where you say, basically, you keep showing up at our emergency department. We're spending a fortune. Why don't we just find you an apartment? And maybe that's cheaper. And we're doing some work with some of the high-flyers type people who get involved with police a lot. And so there's nothing more beautiful than a galley proof. This came yesterday. Is there anything more beautiful? The thing actually comes out and the planet continues to rotate. You get so excited when you see the galley proof, you expect that this is going to be transformational. But we were tracking people who had repeated 9-1-1 calls where police were involved and ambulance. And we actually tried to identify people's risks that they had. And there were risks that they had because of their person-level risks. Or event type of risks that people had, like on check-day somebody's calling because there's a dispute between an SSDI recipient and their payee. Or this place-based risks. There's hotspots, like the train stations, where there's a lot of calls. And we also found there are things that are, we call them harm spots after Larry Sherman or risk spots. Maybe there's a private home where there's someone who lives there where there's significant challenges that might be 9-1-1 calls. There are frequent customers, our Medicaid recipients. And we're trying to help improve policies to help that group in a lot of ways. One of the striking things is how the healthcare system and the emergency first response system don't really inter-digitate. Inter-digitate. I can say that word. So here, Ruth Tenner, I just asked her if she would map up all the group homes in Chicago where there had been that type of 9-1-1 call. And we just made this map. As far as I know, no one else has ever made this map. So if you are a first responder in Chicago, you get a call, come to this address. Something's happening at this address. You're very often coming cold to that. You don't know that there's a person who lives in that home who's deaf. And I've exhausted everybody. Hey, Harold, thanks for your talk. I wanted to ask you, you talked about the bipartisanship support of Medicaid, especially at the state level with governors. I was wondering if you could share your opinion on what's going on in Utah and the political aspect there. Many states, by the way, have many experience with it on validation. The state legislature has been managing to explain that in a couple of two ways. One is to think of work requirements and the second is the ACA Medicaid expansion is supposed to go up to 138% for the property line and we want to do that with the other one, the Medicaid. And in Utah, one is only going up to 100%. So the good thing about that is that over 100% you can get into the ACA market. It saves the states a lot of money. If you look at 100% of the data to help get Medicaid out of the state exchange, there's two bad things about it. The story about an issue in the past it makes the risk pool in the state market to those governors. And I think one of the long-term consequences of that will be added that it makes how much more expensive for a lot of people. The Medicaid population of each of these states back what is the best health and population in the state market. So it turns out that in the states that didn't expand Medicaid how much more expensive something like 8% to 11% higher than they would get in the state expanded. So they're damaging the risk pool. I think the fact that Utah most Republican states in the country is expanding is still a good thing. And so it's one of those things where I would have preferred that they don't do that. But I'll take that over to Texas any day after me. I do think that the fact that the states that perform on these veterans have 90% of the people shut out of Medicaid expansion. If you actually look at the U.S. map it looks like there's a bunch of states all over the country. There should be a human being effect all thousands of them. The fact that Montana and Wyoming are doing their best doing it is just good like how they're not. I do think the next time we're on Democrats we're just going to say we've always been in Medicaid facing health insurance because we don't trust the government in the south. So in states that did expand Medicaid and where people can now get into Medicaid without an assets test but those same states didn't actually do anything to remove the asset test from their disability provisions. How does that actually get implemented? It's crazy. The Medicaid accountable asset limit is $2,000. If you just imagine how you're supposed to live with that constraint, it's crazy. By the way, did anyone know when that $2,000 was set at $2,000? 1989. It was $1,500 more than 40 years ago. So that is a huge, huge problem because people with serious disabilities very often the ACA to Medicaid expansion is not common with long-term services. And so there's a punishing asset requirement that causes tremendous hardship in people. And Andrea Kanwas who wrote a book about her sister along with her family and her sister-in-law came out of a wheelchair and was just what you bring in the Louis State in America and ultimately ACA will convince law officers to take over the real asset that's supposed to help with that and they could have raised the asset upon the WSCC I'm waiting for one thing. But I mean, if you get into Medicaid without the assets in a state where there's no asset test because they expanded Medicaid and you then use the Medicaid provisions that help pay for nursing home care or whatever right now the states still have the right to come after you for I forget the word isn't reimbursement but it's yeah so does this actually happen? Blue State's red state approach to Medicaid is there really a solution in the offing? We've got a changing governor who certainly talks a good talk but what's it going to take to actually move us off of what we do with Medicaid in the state of Illinois? I think we have to be I think we have to be open about some of the issues that David mentioned that things actually have to work and there is, we accept a mediocre quality of governance around a lot of issues and it's bipartisan issue and it goes and all of us who rely on this system see them every day I think that when the people actually disability space our current ranking is 44 or 47 and I think that we have as a state that we have to be a much longer conversation but I think that probably it's around Medicaid and the markets around the Illinois before and I think every fiscal everything in the state constitution has a fiscal policy problem or in some way works it out we need significantly more revenue we need more revenue on two percentage points that states annually increase the finance our current population and when you basically have a progressive income tax on the pension issue in the state constitution obviously a challenge the I think the disability has to be has to be pressured in the state in the long run I think I'm optimistic that one good thing is that our services are so bad that we have such a course of vision that's preventing all the problems and no budget for two years so that even all the functions didn't matter what the government state should be doing which is good I think when I look at people there it was really strange when I talk to people I am you know we have to give people that we know what we serve by each program that desperately cut through both quality of government and key leaders in both parties I don't even think this was how am I to politically think that I have my constituency and that's why I've been more receptive even though I'm totally against the world of government things like that are sometimes essential because they create a dignified path and I don't know why we may need some things like something so that a broad range of stakeholders in Ohio they pro-life and very important in Medicaid expansion we want people to know that it's a pregnant that they will have access to health coverage and that they do not need to train in the pregnancy because they are afraid that they will not their child quality will not be met their health quality will not be met I thought that was great for you to create that kind of human coalition where you evaluate disagreements but also you evaluate monies at least at the state level you have some hope of being able to do that and you've got a lot of history going on in regards to the housing issue do you happen to know if there have been any further efforts to incentivize either at the federal or state level private property owners to participate in the section 8 program or any other program in order to offer low cost housing to the homeless your person is in a very innovative space before trying to do social impact bombs for example to try to incentivize that it's a very complicated space because there are so many flavors of housing from section 8 and it's a quarter of the amount of money that we have it is one asset that goes first here at least it's not going to be a big expense the main policy value of the big development of new cities is that they just don't really have housing it's just super expensive here in Chicago we can't physically provide housing it's not it's not ridiculously expensive if you go to a place and you go all the way it's an 8 foundation it's worth the housing it's a physical housing but I think we're going to have to really experiment a lot I don't think it's going to be money since we're spending a lot of money on the niches I think many people play a big role in that because the niches are going to have to pay for housing they have to be much easier to do than just here somebody who's working in section 8 and in section 8 the value of the section 8 is much more for example and a company that's that's where you're going to make serious money and there people's sense of worthy or something worthy of 4 companies on the niches too it is a sense that people who need housing because there's a special need for it has a much easier way to do that than people who don't have to do that I wish we could give them I'm happy he came to mind those of you that have to go first okay

Terry Lynch of Power Nickel talks about its new NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate at Nisk
|
In this InvestorIntel interview with host Tracy Weslosky, Power Nickel Inc.‘s (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: CMETF) CEO Terry Lynch talks about the just released significant inaugural NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate on their Nisk nickel sulphide project near James Bay, Québec.
In the interview, Terry tells Tracy that "the one thing I would draw everyone's attention to is that we use very conservative numbers." Even so, he says the resource estimate reports more than 2.5 million Indicated Tonnes at 1.20 %NiEq and 1.4 million Inferred Tonnes at 1.29 %NiEq. In addition, Terry adds, "you can look at the isometric views and you can see very plainly where we can go with infill drilling to add a bunch of tons fairly easily and fairly low risk so that's exciting for us."
Terry also talks about the advantage of Nisk's location, including other producing mines nearby, road access, being "across the road from a Hydro Quebec substation" for power, and good relations with local groups. "We're super close to infrastructure," he tells Tracy. "We believe we're the greenest nickel mine in history because of the access to the Quebec Hydro grid."
About Power Nickel Inc.
Power Nickel is a Canadian junior exploration company focusing on high-potential copper, gold, and battery metal prospects in Canada and Chile.
On February 1, 2021, Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) completed the acquisition of its option to acquire up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (CRE:TSXV)
The NISK property comprises a large land position (20 kilometers of strike length) with numerous high-grade intercepts. Power Nickel, formerly Chilean Metals is focused on confirming and expanding its current high-grade nickel-copper PGE mineralization historical resource by preparing a new Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with NI 43-101, identifying additional high-grade mineralization, and developing a process to potentially produce nickel sulfates responsibly for batteries to be used in the electric vehicles industry.
Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) announced on June 8 th , 2021 that an agreement has been made to complete the 100% acquisition of its Golden Ivan project in the heart of the Golden Triangle. The Golden Triangle has reported mineral resources (past production and current resources) in a total of 67 million ounces of gold, 569 million ounces of silver, and 27 billion pounds of copper. This property hosts two known mineral showings (gold ore and magee), and a portion of the past-producing Silverado mine, which was reportedly exploited between 1921 and 1939. These mineral showings are described to be Polymetallic veins that contain quantities of silver, lead, zinc, plus/minus gold, and plus/minus copper.

Good morning. Today I have Terry Lynch from Powernickel. How are you today? Just great today, Tracy. Well, I would say you're great. If it's, is it just me or are these 43101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimates staggering. Let's talk about that. We're super excited about it. Yeah, we think that shows there's a mind to be had there at Nescomber to find it. Can you talk to some of these highlights here? I'm just reviewing the information here. I see 2.587 million tons. Yeah, can you talk to this please? Yeah, sure. So that's the indicated resource combined between the open pit and the and the decline and the one thing I would draw everyone's attention to is that we use very conservative numbers. Those are you know, another nickel company came out just as we got these numbers with their PEA with numbers that are 25% more aggressive on the pricing side used as a PEA. So it's still obviously allowed by port if you want to one. So if we use those numbers, our numbers have yet by 25% in terms of tonnage. So but we felt we did that because we wanted to that's what talent metals used in their deposit and we sort of see ourselves as a comparable to them. Obviously not as good as they are right now, but hope springs eternal. But yeah, I mean, it's it's a great first start and you can look at the isometric views and you can see very plainly where we can go with infill drilling to add a bunch of times fairly easily and fairly low risk. So that's exciting for us as as the mind developers we sort of see that as a really low risk get. And of course those of you out there going trace. I don't know about power nickel. Let's back you up for a second. Okay, let's talk about the James Bay area where you're located, which is a prominent location for a lot of producers. So you've got the infrastructure. Why don't you provide us with an interview of the NISC nickel project, please? Sure. Yeah. So NISC was we acquired it an option to acquire 80% from our partner critical elements. Critical elements is a very fine lithium junior mine explorer that's developing the very great rose lithium deposit in the neighborhood about 40 clicks away. Namaskar lithium is just about 10 clicks away. The airport's about 10 clicks away. We're across the road from major hydrocrbex substation. So you can literally drive to the site and you can stay in a hotel and you know, that's so rare in mine you can't believe to understand how rare that is. So it's really cool. So we're super close to infrastructure. We'll be the greenest nickel mine in history because of the access to the you know, Quebec hydro grid and it's right there. So we're pretty stoked about publication and obviously Quebec is you know, probably the you know, the most preferred location to develop a mine at the world, I'd say today because of the chief power and the being very pro mining friendly. The Cree are the native Indian band that's in the neighborhood. They're very supportive to the mining projects. There are three of them are already being developed. You know, our partner Critical Elements has great relationships with the Cree and we're expecting to sort of tag on with that and grow that relationship. And yeah, we're pretty excited about it as a great place to move forward and you know, create candidates next to nickel sulphide mine. And of course, I'm going to back you up here. We have a number of critical points to go with your announcement. Let's start with what you have now. A lot of people out there are following nickel because of what's happening with Russia and the Ukraine, but you also have copper, cobalt, platinum, and the palladium group of metals. Can you just talk to us a little bit more about your wide group of materials and metals and resources that you actually have here? Yeah, we're super excited to have such a metallic mix in our deposit. It really de-risks it in many ways. And you know, we're having copper, cobalt, palladium, and platinum. It basically adds almost another, we go from about 0.72, 0.75 nickel to 1.25. So it's that good. It adds almost 60, 70%. So it really de-risks it and makes it much easier to develop. And of course, I have history with you, Teri. So I appreciate the quality of qualified persons that you've selected. Would you like to talk to us a little bit about the group that provided the metal resource? Yeah, you know, 3DGO is really a smart group of young engineers and geologists in Quebec, and they've had a lot of experience in this neighborhood. And that's why we select them. We basically met them through critical elements that they've done work for. And they hit the ground running because they knew the lay of the land, they've done a couple of their minds in that area. And that's critical in any sort of mind project to get professionals that know the turf. I mean, in theory, you know, a geologist is a geologist. He's a geologist that went anywhere in the world. But it's great to have domain expertise. And these guys have terrific domain expertise. And a good geologist is a scientist, but he's also an artist. You got to have a feel for where Mother Earth is hiding things. And some guys have it. Some guys don't. I mean, I'm not a geologist, but I've seen it, you know, and I've seen guys that have PhDs and all this stuff, they couldn't find, you know, they're just, they're just not gifted in the field, you know, in finding the resource, but they can analyze the crap out of things. But some guys got away with resource. And these guys come up with a model concept that was fantastic. And our drill program, we did only a 2,500 meter drill program. And it added like almost 40% of the historic resource rate out of the gate. So, you know, that's staggering. So we got 5,000 meters coming. What are we going to have with that? So get excited, folks. We have done stories before on the power of treasure hunters because we agree with you, Terry. There's a lot of people with the right designations, but they couldn't find anything to save their lives. So we are going to cut this quickly and get it to the street because we understand you're going to be doing a large teleconference this morning at 10.30 to discuss your results. Indeed. Thanks so much, Tracy, for having me on. And I hope you'll follow up with us in a couple of weeks so we can find out what the aftermath is of these results hitting the street. Thank you, Terry. Perfect. Cheers for now.

Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation Stock Funds Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Most of this information can be found at the Vanguard website, which you can find online at investor.vanguard.com. In prior presentations, we've been taking a look at investment goals, strategies, tools, keeping in mind the two primary categories of investments, that being the fixed income, typically the bonds, and the equities, typically the common stock. Also keeping in mind the different tools you might be using, such as mutual funds and ETFs, possibly in order to be able to diversify with less of an overall investment than if you invested in individual stocks, individual bonds. In prior presentations, we've been diving into the different kinds of mutual funds. Here's a quick recap of some fund types. We looked at the money market funds. We looked at bond funds. We looked at balance funds. Now we're going to be diving into the stock funds this time. International funds we'll look at in the future sector, and specialty funds we'll look at in a future presentation. Remember that as we are investing, the key word is typically going to be that diversification. We want to have some in the stocks, some in the bonds, and we typically then are going to want diversification within, of course, the stocks and the bonds. How are we going to do that? We could buy individual stocks, individual bonds, but that's typically not the best strategy for individuals. We're typically going to need some tools such as mutual funds, such as ETFs, where we're going to be putting money in, pooling it with other investors so that the fund manager can take that pooled money and put it over more diversified investments. If that's the case, if we're looking at mutual funds or ETFs to help us to diversify, then the question is, do I want to say get one fund? Can I just put my money in one fund possibly for saving for retirement? For example, as we saw in a prior presentation, looking at like a balanced funds, which invest in both stocks and bonds, which might even change the allocation as I get closer to retirement. That would be one of the easiest ways to go, although there are restrictions to it because you can't, you don't have as much leeway to then rebalance if you think a different balancing strategy would be better. Another way you could look at it is you could say, well, I'm going to use mutual funds, but I'm going to invest in different index funds, for example, or different bond funds, for example, and different stock funds in that way. And I'm going to rebalance. I'm going to have more control over my balance between them by investing still in mutual funds or ETFs, but doing so on a sector by sector kind of basis, different mutual funds for stocks, different mutual funds for bonds. And then within those sections, we could have a bonds fund that spreads over many different bonds. So we might have different bond funds that are going to go specifically towards US bonds or government bonds or international bonds, depending on how much diversity we want to put in place, still using, in essence, mutual funds and ETFs. Also, remember that when we're saving for retirement, we often use retirement savings accounts like IRAs, like 401K plans, for example. And those things you can think of as, in essence, an umbrella over the investment, which is typically kind of like a mutual fund. So the mutual fund still acts the same, but now it has this umbrella, this added restriction, because that's what you're doing typically when you put money into a retirement type of account. You're restricting your money, which you would not do unless you got a tax benefit. So that's why you do it. It's not a different investment. It's not a different kind of thing altogether. You don't have to think of a different whole vehicle that you're using. It's basically a mutual fund, typically, under like an umbrella of a retirement account, which has tax implications that you have to consider. Okay, so now we're diving into the stock funds. This is probably the most common kind of mutual fund that people think of when you say, hey, I'm going to put money into a mutual fund. We're typically thinking, okay, well, I can invest in individual stocks, or I can invest in a mutual fund, which is going to diversify, pool my money together so that the portfolio can invest in multiple different stocks. When we think about the stock funds, however, we have a huge array of different kind of investments within the stocks, because now we've got all these different kind of companies. We can classify the companies in different areas and so on and so forth. So now that we're on the stock side of things, we've still got to kind of dig in and say, how exactly are we going to diversify over equities, over stocks, even using mutual funds? So considering stock funds, if you want to increase your chances of growing your money over longer periods of time, so they're going to be more volatile typically than the bonds, more volatile than money markets, certainly, but over a long run, they typically have the higher capacity for earnings, for growth. So these funds expose you to more risk than typical bond funds. That's why you want the diversification between the two, but you can limit some of that risk when you pair stock funds with bond funds as part of a diversified portfolio. So there's the key term. Any financial planner worth their salt or worth whatever is going to use that term a lot. Diversification. You'll get sick of hearing it, but it's a key component. So what are equity or stock funds? So this is Vanguard talking here. So equity, mutual funds and ETF exchange traded funds invest in a diverse mix of stocks. That's going to be basically the point. We're trying to get diversity in multiple stocks instead of investing in, say, one company, for example. Give your money to a higher potential to grow over the long-term. Stock mutual funds and ETFs aim to provide long-term growth unlike bond funds which focus on income. So when we look at the bond funds, they're usually going to be less exciting. They're usually not going to be jumping up as the market goes up or anything like that, but we're looking more stable income there, which means that when the market goes down, the bond funds are kind of exciting at that point because you're like, I'm getting killed, but at least my bonds haven't gone down in the hole. So that's kind of the play there. The stock, of course, can have more volatility. On the upside, that can be fun. On the downside, it can be painful. So in exchange for more growth potential, however, you're likely to experience more ups and downs in the value of your investment. So you've got to ride the roller coaster. Remember that in the short term, you're going to see the stuff bouncing around like this and you've got to not have a heart attack because in the long term, you're hoping that it's going to be basically an upward kind of growth potential. So if you're saving for retirement, that's kind of where you're looking. You're looking long-term here, and if you make your decisions based on panicking, based on fear, you will usually make them at the wrong time. Unfortunately. So reduce your investment risk. So a stock fund could give you access to hundreds, sometimes thousands of stocks with spreads out risk more than owning individual stock. So how to choose a stock fund? Here are a few questions to ask yourself when considering Vanguard stock funds for your portfolio. Similar kind of thing could be if it's not a Vanguard stock fund, but this is our Vanguard information that we're getting this from. So how do stock mutual funds differ from one another? When looking at a stock fund, consider two characteristics. We got the investing style in general stock funds invest in value stock, growth stock, or a blend of the two. So now we're going to try to categorize and we might dive into this in a little bit more detail in future presentations, the different kinds of funds, right? So now you're in the world of stocks now, and now the question is, well, can I group these stocks? I can group them in different ways, like by sector or by the idea of stock funds of value, growth, or a blend, for example. So capitalization stock funds also choose investment based on the size or capitalization of a company. So we can also think, you know, in terms of investing, how big is the company? You would think the bigger they are, the more kind of established they might be, and that might have less risk oftentimes, but that's not always the case, you would think as well. So companies are considered either small, mid, or large caps. So these are other kind of classifications in terms of the size, which we might define a little bit more in future presentations. So how much risk am I comfortable with? So different types of stocks will expose you to different types of levels of risk. Now, when you're thinking about risk, obviously we have our risk tolerance and whatnot, but we're also trying to match the right risk level with the time horizon that we have. So if we're saving for retirement, we have a long time horizon. We should probably be taking on a diversified portfolio, but maybe more risk because we have potential for growth over that longer time horizon, and the idea being if we get closer to retirement, then we might be on more stable stocks, which might be more the larger cap stocks, right? The ones that are going to be more stable growth, ones that possibly give out more dividends at that point in time. So knowing the general terms used to describe specific stock characteristics can help you assess how comfortable you are with the risks involved with investing. So for example, you can choose stock funds and ETFs based on the average size or capitalization of the companies they invest in. In general, smaller companies' stocks can be riskier than larger company's stocks, but smaller companies can reward that risk with more potential for growth. So in other words, if you think about a growth cycle like this, you're saying, okay, this is a company's growth cycle if they kind of succeeded, right? It's going to look something maybe not exactly like that, but it's going to go up and you would expect that you're going to have this period down here with a huge increasing rate of return. So if you bought like Apple down here or something when they were growing, well, you're not going to get a lot of dividends at that point in time, but the value of the stock would go up greatly and you would be doing quite well, so many stocks are going to die, right? They're not going to get up to the top at this point. They're not going to be at the same level as Apple is at this point in time and so on. So you have the potential for growth, but you have the more risk that's going to be involved there. Once you get up here, like Apple's kind of up here, or typically like a utility company or something like that, then you would expect they made it. They're already huge. So if you're like a utility company, they've already invested for the phone company. They've invested in all the phone lines. They've won the monopoly basically, or they have the capacity. They're not building new phone lines and stuff like that, typically as much, and they're just kind of marching along and you would expect them to keep on doing what they're going to do, because they're basically stable at that point in time and possibly giving out more dividends. You can think of a similar kind of curve, by the way, with countries as well. So if you think of the United States, we're kind of up here, so you would think that maybe overall, there wouldn't be as much giant spurt in the growth. And a lot of times we think about those developing countries, which you would say, man, if they could just do a little bit, like if they were just able to use a little bit more of their human capital, for example, more efficiently, possibly becoming a little bit more capitalistic, then their growth would spike. And then if you're investing there, you'd have huge growth there. But again, just like with this individual stocks, there's also risk that that's not going to happen. That's not the way it's going to go. So you have the potential, but it may not completely play out. So would I prefer index or active funds? So this is going to be huge within the stocks as well, because this comes down to your thinking on active management. Do you think that an active manager can beat the index? Remember that the index is kind of like the average of whatever sector that we are currently looking at. You can think of that similar to a sample of a population. So for example, if we're trying to get the opinion of a population, we're not going to ask the whole population. We're going to ask a certain group that we hope are representative of the population and then take those results and basically apply them to the entire population. Similar thing with the index. We're going to take a sample of stocks within a certain sector that we hope are reflective of the entire sector and use that as kind of like the average. When we are investing, we could try to have our mutual fund tied to the index, which would be kind of tying the hands of the manager, which hopefully will be cheaper because now they just need to tie it to the index. We're betting on the average of the sector, or we could try to have an active manager that in essence is going to try to beat the index. So if you have an active manager that's managing within the confines of whatever sector that they are in, you would think by definition to justify their active management, they're going to need to beat the index, and they're going to need to beat it enough that they're actually justifying their salary to be actively managing. So whether you want indexes or active management will depend on your personal outlook about how well active management can perform in the long run oftentimes. So a combination of index and active strategies can help you meet your goals. Many people start with a core portfolio of index funds and then actively manage funds for certain market segments. And I think that's pretty much a good idea because the index funds means you're kind of investing on the average, on the market as a whole going up over time. And then you might want to be pretty picky about your actively managed funds because you want to pick the actively managed funds where you think someone can actively outperform for whatever reason, rather than just picking a general active manage fund that has some active manager that you don't know a whole lot about. You might want to be more picky about the types of active management funds you want to put in considering they cost more. So index mutual funds and ETS, you have a chance to keep pace with market returns because index funds try to mirror certain market segments, but not all index funds are created equal, actively managed funds. So or you can try to beat market returns with investment handpicked by professional money managers. So here's what they're trying to do. They're trying to beat the index within the certain areas that would be the general idea they're going to cost more to do so. So you may be surprised by our active funds performance. Discover our active funds quite success stories. So what to see a side-by-side comparison of the two types of funds. Compare index funds versus actively managed funds. So you could, they're going to try to give you the comparison side-by-side. Again, the question is, you know, they should be able to beat the index fund by a substantial amount after paying for the added costs in order to think about it. But remember that when you're looking at the actively managed funds, if you're trying to consider a particular fund manager, for example, that is saying that they can beat the market, oftentimes it's hard to determine that because you really have to look at their whole career to really determine if they're able to beat the market consistently over the long run because there are going to be winners and losers no matter what, even if we just randomly picked a bunch of people that were actively managing just because you have so many people, just that's the way the chance will work. Someone is going to look like a genius even if everybody was not a genius. We might have some situations where an active manager, whatever their investment strategy, whether it be conservative or very aggressive just happened to fit the market at that particular point in time 10 years later when the market changes and the other side of things would look better, that manager, the question is can they change to reflect the changes in the market appropriately? Again, that's kind of tough to tell unless you're looking at a very long time horizon. But in any case, do I want domestic or international stocks? Investing in both U.S. and international stock funds can add another level of diversification in an already well-balanced portfolio. So note that, again, if you're investing in the U.S., you can kind of think of the U.S. kind of like that business cycle. So the U.S. is basically up here. So you would think that you're going to get lesser potential for returns than you could in like a growth area of the world. Because again, if they just did a couple things and maybe became a little bit more capitalistic and have a little bit more use of the human capital, you would think that the growth would be huge. But again, they might not do that. And so there's going to be more risk involved there. So typically on the U.S. market side of things, you usually have more trust and whatnot in the system, some more transparency. And so that's why a lot of times the money still floods into the U.S. exchanges and so on because of that more transparency, even though there may not be as much potential for that rapid kind of growth. So then the question is, well, how much more exposure do I want outside of the U.S. possibly? And what are the tools that I could use to get exposure, to get exposure to other areas of the world to add to diversification and possibly getting access to some higher returns? So in any case, get a list of Vanguard U.S. stock mutual funds and Vanguard international stock mutual funds. So as individual investors, if we're investing in mutual funds, our options could be, we might say, hey, I want to get, say, one mutual fund that covers all bonds, all stocks and so on, or we might try to break out the bonds from the stocks. And then on the stocks side of things, we might try to get a mutual fund, for example, that covers all the U.S. stocks, for example, or multiple mutual funds that cover different segments of the U.S. stocks. And then we might want mutual funds that cover all of the international stocks, to give us exposure there. Or we might want multiple index funds that are going to help us or mutual funds or ETFs with exposure to the international market, depending again on how much complexity and how much control we want in our investment strategy. So we've got the Vanguard U.S. stock ETFs as well. We're not going to get into the difference between the ETFs and the mutual funds here. We've talked about that in prior presentations. Vanguard international stock ETFs. So should I focus on a specific industry? You could choose a fund that invests solely in a specific sector of the market like healthcare technology or telecommunications. So we've talked about breaking out our investment strategy in the stock side of things. So we're going to break out, we could think about bonds and then we're going to think about stocks and then on the stock side of things, we can break out by the size of the company, for example, or we might want to break out by a specific area like healthcare technology, telecommunications, and so on. Now remember, you don't want all of your money typically in one of these areas as your sole kind of place to be, even though you're somewhat diversified within that area because if there was a downturn within a particular area like healthcare or telecommunications, then you would have exposure to that. You wouldn't have diversification to safeguard against that. But you might want some more leeway to put money into say these particular areas if you think that would be the best thing to do within the current market situation. So you might be saying, hey, I think healthcare is the safest place to be in this particular environment. I would like to be more heavily weighted in healthcare at this point in time. So whatever my other strategy is, if I have a balanced portfolio or I have different index funds that are covering my stocks, maybe I also have this healthcare fund that's going to be betting on this particular sector because I think that would be best for this particular point in time, allowing you a little bit of leeway to more heavily invest in one area or another, for example. But remember, these funds have a very narrow focus and expose you to more risk, meaning if you just invest in them alone, you're not diversified, and therefore you're exposing risk in that case. You want to use them in conjunction with other strategies. Sector and specialty funds should only be used to supplement an already diversified portfolio. Get a broad exposure to stock markets. You can use just a few funds to complete the stock portion of your portfolio. Each of these investments give you access to a wide variety of stocks in a single diversified fund. So we've got the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund. Holds more than 4,000 domestic stocks. We've got the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Funds. Holds more than 7,500 non-U.S. stocks. So your strategy could be, I want to have a diversified portfolio. So I could try to get one index fund that has both stocks and bonds and diversifies over everything. But that's going to be somewhat restrictive, although the easiest thing to do or I might want to have different funds, say for the bonds and for the stocks. And then on the stock side of things, maybe I want to have one mutual fund ETF that's going to cover all of the total stock market, say U.S. stock market, for example, giving me diversification, hopefully a broad diversification there, and then another one for international. So now we're breaking it out a little bit, but not too much. Or we can get more specific still and say within the Vanguard stocks for the U.S. stocks, maybe I then break out by caps. And so I'm going to say the size of the company. Maybe I invest based on the size of the company, for example, and use those index funds or mutual funds. Or maybe I try to get more specific into different segments or industries, for example. So there's questions on how, even using the mutual funds, on how much strategy we want to give to one specific fund and how much ability do we want to vary things up by having basically multiple funds focused more narrowly on specific areas. So Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund, so Stock Market ETF, I'm sorry, Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF holds more than 4,000 non-U.S. stocks. We got the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF.

Welcome back to our lecture series, Math 1060 Trigonometry for Students at Southern Utah University. As usual, I'll be your professor today, Dr. Andrew Missildine. In this first part of lecture seven, I want to introduce the idea of radiant measure and show that trigonometry, which literally translates as the study of triangles, trigonometry involves circles just as much as they did the right triangles, if not even more. And in this lecture, we really want to start understanding what do circles in trigonometry have to do with each other. So imagine we do have a circle. So I'm going to draw one on the screen. It'll probably look hideous, not perfectly circular. But you get the idea here. Consider the center of the circle. We say that an angle associated to a circle is central if the angle has as its vertex the center of the circle. So this would be an example of what we call a central angle of this circle. And for convenience, we like to think of this angle in standard position so that the initial side right here is the positive x-axis. And then the terminal side will terminate wherever it so chooses. So in a circle, a central angle that cuts off an arc, so this is what we mean by an arc. So this little piece on the circle itself that's kind of cut off by the angle, right? This is what we mean by an arc. So we say that the arc is equal in length to the radius of the circle. If the arc is equal to the radius of the circle, so if the distance of the radius, if that's the same distance right here, and I know this gets kind of funky because it's curved, but imagine we have a shoestring that we lay across the circles, we measure the radius, and then we also measure that same shoestring along the curve, and it's the same length, that's what we call one radian. Because after all, when you have the arc of the circle, it's also associated to the angle theta. And so one radian, so to speak, one radian, this happens, what this means here is that the arc, the arc has a length equal to the radius of the circle arc. Now, if you consider the entire arc, that is, if you take the circumference of the circle, then it's been known for millennia that the circumference of a circle is directly proportional to its diameter, you know, if you go all the way across here. Now the diameter of course is just twice the radius, and it's known that the proportion between the circumference and the diameter, if you take the circumference of a circle and divided by its diameter, this is always equal to this number pi, which pi is an irrational number approximately equal to 3.14159. It keeps on going, right? Cause this is a non-repeating decimal expansion. Therefore, if you solve for the circumference, we get a formula for the circumference of a circle, circumference is equal to two pi r, recognizing the diameter of the circle is just two times its radius right there. And so this is a very important formula for computing the circumference of a circle, but we're gonna use this to connect this idea of radiance with the degree measure that we're already used to, okay? It's not just the circumference and the diameter that are proportional to each other. Because of the symmetry of the circle, it turns out that the angle measure right here is gonna be proportional to the arc length of the circle, where that proportion is always gonna equal r. So in other words, if we take any arc, s, let's say that this thing has length s, if we take any arc, s, and we divide it by its radian measure, this is always gonna equal r, the radius of the circle, they're always gonna be proportional to each other. So if we take the entire circle, right, the entire circle, it has an arc length of two pi r at circumference. If we take the angle that gives us one complete rotation, call theta for a moment, then by the proportionality of the circle, we see that two pi r divided by theta will always equal r. We'll take this equation times both sides, excuse me, divide both sides by r times both sides by theta. So we're gonna times by theta over r. We see the r's cancel, the theta's cancel, and then we get this equation right here, theta equals two pi r over r. But since there's an arc on top and bottom, they cancel out and we end up with theta equals two pi. So what this tells us right here is this gives us a baseline, one complete rotation, one complete revolution of a circle in the radian measure is equal to two pi, okay? But then that gives us a way of connecting it to degrees because as we learned previously, the degree measure of a one complete revolution is 360 degrees. So two pi radians coincides with 360 degrees. If we take this equation and divide both sides by 180, excuse me, by 360, we divide both sides by 360, then the left-hand side would just become one degree, and then the right-hand side, two goes into 360, 180 times, that's where the 180 came from. And we see that one degree is equal to pi over 180 radians. Likewise, if we take this equation right here and divide both sides by two pi, then the left-hand side would become one radian and then two goes into 360, 180 times. So one radian is equal to 180 degrees over pi. So this gives us a way of converting back and forth between radians and degrees. This formula right here shows us how we convert from degrees into radians because you change one radian, a one degree to be a pi over 180 radians. And then likewise, this one over here tells us how to change from radians to degrees because you can replace one radian with 180 over pi degrees. Let's see a quick example of such a thing. So if we take, for example, 45 degrees, 45 degrees means 45 times one degree. And by the conversion chart we saw in the previous slide, one degree is the same thing as pi over 180. So 45 goes into 184 times, this would simplify to be pi over four. So 45 degrees is the same thing as pi over four radians. Similarly, if we take 450 degrees, 450 degrees right here, this is just gonna be 450 times one degree. One degree is pi over 180 radians. And so then we have this fraction, 450 over 180. You can divide both sides, both are divisible by 10. You can see the zero, so kind of take that out. You get 45 over 18. They're still divisible by nine. So you can simplify the fraction to be five pi over two radians. So this shows us how to convert from degrees to radians. If we wanna convert from radians to degrees, we do the same thing basically, double times by the reciprocal conversion factor. So if you take pi over six here, pi over six radians, one thing I should mention is that if the angle measure is not specified, if the units are not specified, by default that will mean radians. So you always need to put the little circle if you wanna represent degrees, but if you write nothing, it should be assumed that it's a radian measure. So pi over six radians means pi over six times one radian, but one radian is 180 degrees over pi. The pi's will always cancel out, and then six goes into 180, that'll go in there 30 times. So pi over six coincides with 30 degrees. Likewise, if we take four pi thirds, all right? Four pi thirds, if you multiply by 180 degree over pi, then the pi should cancel out. You get four times 180 over three. Three goes into 180 60 times. So you get four times 60, which is 240 degrees. A nice little thing to remember is when it comes to conversion, you're either gonna times by pi over 180, or you're gonna get 180 over pi. That's always the factor you use here. And to remember which one you want, the radian measures we have, typically have a pi in it, and we want the pi's to cancel out when you go to degrees. So you want, when you're going from radians to degrees, the pi should probably be in the denominator, so it cancels out with the pi that's in the numerator so that your degree measure doesn't have a pi in it whatsoever. Now, if we take some of those special angles that we've learned about previously in this lecture series, we can find the corresponding radian measure. So like zero degrees coincides with zero radians. 30 degrees coincides with pi over six that we saw right here. 45 degrees coincides with pi over four that we saw right here as well. 60 degrees is the same thing as pi third radians. 90 degrees is pi over two. 180 is pi radians. 270 degrees is three pi over two. And then 360 that started this whole conversation coincides with two pi radians.

Le CHU de Rouen a ouvert en 2017 une consultation près et post-transplantation pulmonaire pour les malades insuffisants respiratoires chroniques. Là vous avez déjà un traitement qui est maximal avec de l'oxygène, avec de la ventilation et donc la question que se pose votre pneumologue c'est s'il faut qu'on discute une transplantation pulmonaire. Oui, on a parlé et justement je viens ici pour savoir un peu comment ça se passe. C'est un acte chirurgical qui est lourd donc avant de l'envisager il faut s'assurer qu'il n'y a pas de contre-indication et donc on va faire un bilan assez poussé pour étudier la fonction de chacun de vos organes. Et s'il n'y a pas de contre-indication on pourra à ce moment-là parler de façon plus concrète de la transplantation pulmonaire. Quand on décide que votre état respiratoire est suffisamment grave et qu'il n'y a pas de problème à cette transplantation, vous êtes inscrit sur liste de transplantation et dans un délai de quelques mois vous êtes transplanté pulmonaire. À ce moment-là la transplantation va vous permettre d'avoir un nouveau souffle, une nouvelle vie entre guillemets, avec des nouveaux poumons, ce qui va vous permettre de refaire les activités de la vie quotidienne, sans oxygène, sans ventilation non-invasive, mais avec des contraintes. En effet il y aura des traitements à prendre au cours, tous les jours, parfois heure fixe, et un suivi médical très régulier au départ mais à vie parce qu'il peut y avoir des complications de la transplantation. C'est pour ça qu'on vous rencontre aujourd'hui pour vous expliquer tout ça. Nous avons créé cette activité pré-transplantation et le suivi post-transplantation pour plusieurs raisons. Tout d'abord il faut savoir que dans la partie nord-ouest de la France il n'y a pas de centre de transplantation pulmonaire et les trois centres les plus proches sont surparés. Donc il y a trois centres de transplantation surparés. Et de ce fait il y a un sous-adressage des patients insuppisants respiratoires sévères sur les centres parisiens du fait de cette méconnissance de la greffe dans notre région. Par ce biais du coup on a créé cette activité pré-transplantation pour essayer d'informier mieux les patients et pour les adresser ensuite sur les centres de transplantation parisiens. Avec l'étude de votre dossier, est-ce que c'est un projet dans lequel vous voulez qu'on se lance ensemble ? Mais je serai intéressée de poursuivre avec vous. Ok, on va se revoir alors. Il n'y a pas de problème. Une fois le patient greffé, un suivi en alternance est mis en place avec les centres parisiens. Alors on a aussi développé, en plus du bilan pré-transplantation, le suivi des patients qui sont transplantés. Dans les suites de la transplantation, le suivi est très rapproché, tous les mois la première année, puis tous les deux à trois mois les années suivantes. Et donc on suit maintenant en alternance avec les centres parisiens, les patients pour éviter trop de déplacements sur Paris. Il faut savoir que certains patients font plus de 150 km pour s'en rendre à une consultation. Ça fluidifie le parcours des patients et ça facilite leur prise en charge. Cette consultation est un plus en termes de qualité de vie pour les patients et leurs aidants. Elle permet d'augmenter le nombre et la rapidité de prise en charge des patients pouvant bénéficier d'une greffe.

In the entertainment news, an operator of expert witnesses testified on Amber Heard's behalf on Monday, saying that Johnny Depp's behavior was consistent with narcissism and rebuffing a number of his claims. Autopedic surgeon Dr. Regent Moore testified that photographs and x-rays of Depp's finger, which was severed in Australia, could not have been injured by a vodka bottle, which Depp claims that heard throughout him. Namor said the clinical presentation and the radiographic images showed a crush injury. What, if any, record evidence do you have that correlates with Mr. Depp being narcissistic? Well, I do think that the fact that he thought that Amber owed him, Ms. Heard owed him. Objection, Your Honor. Overruled. Thank you. Go ahead. The fact that Ms. Heard owed him and only wanted to be together with him because of his fame is an example of that. I do think the jealousy aspects are an example of that.

Well, just the sort of weather the fans were hopping for this evening, it's absolutely ideal. My name is Derek Ray and with me in the commentary position is the Arsenal legend, Lee Dixon. And looking forward to bringing you action from the Premier League coming right up. It's Arsenal up against Tottenham Hopspur. Yeah, thanks Derek. I'm just hoping we get a nice quick tempo from the start of this game. Both teams do like to get forward, both positive in their approach in the game. So we should be into some entertainment. And space here on the flank. Arsenal couldn't keep them all. Harry Kane. Arsenal have it back. He had just the goalkeeper to beat. He's got it completely wrongly. Well, he won't be watching that when he gets home tonight on a replay. Holding. It's with Danny Ceballos. What do you think we can expect to see from the visitors, tactically, Lee? Well, I think they'll see everybody behind the ball out of possession, trying to hit the team on the break. Makes sense to me, to be honest with you. But you need to be very... Hello and a warm welcome on what is a glorious night for football. Perfect playing conditions. I'm Derek Ray, joined by Lee Dixon in the commentary position. And very much looking forward to bringing you action from the Premier League. It's Arsenal up against Tottenham Hopspur. Well, thank you, Derek. Glorious atmosphere here. Really looking forward to it. The fans are too. The players look like they're up for it. This could be end to end. We could get goals today, Derek. And so they start at 11-4, Arsenal. Bern Lano begins in goal. Granite Jacker plays alongside Danny Ceballos in the centre of the park. And the starting role and attack is handed to Alex Lacazette. Well, they knew what he was doing defensively with the concession of that throw-in. It needs an accurate cross. That's someone to play it to. Lukas is waiting. Not thinking the grand scheme of things. He's going to be terribly proud of that head of attempt. Well, head in practice in training next week. That was pretty average, to be fair. The defenders will certainly have done their homework, Lee. And on that basis, must keep more than a weather eye on Lacazette. Well, virtually everything. Quick feet, quick mind. Seize the pass before anybody else. So, can he finish?

Officials from local hospitals say a pregnant mother is amongst eight people who have been wounded in the airstrike in McKelley, the main city in Tigray in northern Ethiopia. The director of emergency services at the city's Aida hospital said the five of them, including the woman who is in the ninth month of pregnancy, were being treated at the hospital. He said the other three were admitted to McKelley Hospital, a central committee member of the Tigray People's Liberation Front. Professor Kindeya Ghebrehiwat said the airstrike took place in the center of the city.

Badaun Double Murder: घर में थे 3 बच्चे, 2 का हो गया कत्ल, बदायूं मर्डर केस की असली कहानी
|
The incident of double murder in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh has shocked everyone. Discussions have started everywhere regarding the incident. The question in everyone's mind is how can someone kill innocent children so brutally. However, the police killed one of the murderers, Sajid, in an encounter. The police is busy searching for the second accused Javed. Javed's name is also included in the FIR lodged by the family members. Actually, the killer wanted to kill Sajid Vinod's three children. But one child survived. While Ayush and Ahaan were killed.
उत्तर प्रदेश के बदायूं जिले में हुई डबल मर्डर की घटना ने हर किसी को झकझोर कर रख दिया है. घटना को लेकर जगह-जगह चर्चाएं शुरू हो गई हैं. हर किसी के मन में यह सवाल है कि भला मासूम बच्चों की इतनी निर्ममता से कैसे कोई हत्या कर सकता है. हालांकि पुलिस ने एक हत्यारोपी साजिद को एनकाउंटर में मार गिराया. वहीं दूसरे आरोपी जावेद की तलाश में पुलिस जुटी हुई है. परिजनों ने जो एफआईआर दर्ज कराई है, उसमें जावेद का भी नाम शामिल है. वैसे तो हत्यारा साजिद विनोद के तीनों बच्चों को जान से मारना चाहता था. लेकिन एक बच्चा बच गया. जबकि आयुष और आहान को मौत के घाट उतार दिया.

The next item of business is a debate on motion 11935, in the name of Jenny Minthowe, and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland. Ad nim, I invite members to wish to speak in the debate to press their request to speak buttons. I call on Jenny Minthowe to speak to and move the motion up to 15 minutes minister. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I am delighted to open this debate, to celebrate and support breastfeeding in Scotland and to that end, to move the motion. I am clear as Minister for Public Health and Women's Health, and women's health. Improving the health of babies and young children is fundamental to underpinning Scotland's overall population health. To enable us to do this, our ambition should be for every baby in Scotland to be breastfed. This is not to say that I don't believe that parents should have a choice in how they feed their children. They absolutely do. Ond rwy'n dechreu caith, iawn i ôl oes yn ddiddordebwych o'n ddiddordebwych o'r ffordd y developedorion, oedd hynny mewn rhan o blwyddyn nhall addysg i gael, iddo o hoffa, i gael i'n credu ei ddiddordebwych. Rwy'n ddiddordebwych o'r hoffa, o beth o'n ddiddordebwych, rwy'n ddiddordebwych o'n ddiddordebwych i gael a meddwl i gael. Rwy'n ddiddordebwych o'r ddiddordebwych o'r hoffa i Eurofnair arwag i chi. matte feeding and the provision of human milk is the most accessible and cost effective activity available to public health, which is known to prevent a range of infectious and non-communicable diseases. Despite welcome recent improvements in Scotland, we are still in a place where the majority of babies are wholly or partially formula fed for most of their first year of life. The evidence on the benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and baby is clear. It is more than nutrition.The physical act of breastfeeding itself brings many additional benefits, contributing to the health and development of babies that has lifelong impacts.I thank the minister for giving way and I am listening to what she is saying and I am really interested in this area.In particular, in relation to areas of higher deprivation, you find that the take-up of breastfeeding tends to be lower. Has the Scottish Government done any research on this? Is there a clear focus to make sure that we are getting to the people that we really need to be getting to?I thank the member for that intervention and I am coming to that later on in the speech. In fact, it is more than just simply research that we have done. We have put things in place, like the family nurse partnerships. The evidence is strongest of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. To fully realise the potential that breastfeeding has on our nation's health, it is evidence that we need to listen and act upon. In November, my colleague, the Minister of Children and Young People and I launched the Early Child Development Transformational Change programme to focus on driving change in children's earliest years. One of the key pillars of that programme is nutrition and health. According to the World Health Organization, breastfeeding, alongside the quality of a young child's diet, sets the trajectory for lifelong health and wellbeing. Collective efforts across whole systems are needed to deliver on our ambitions to improve child health outcomes. In recent years, Scotland has seen a noticeable positive shift in breastfeeding rates for breastfeeding at birth and beyond in both younger mothers and those from more deprived areas whose rates were historically low. We now have the highest rate of breastfeeding at 68 weeks on record at 47 per cent, including evidence that breastfeeding inequalities are reducing. I believe that this is amazing and the achievement has been driven by the collective efforts of infant feeding teams across our NHS and their third sector partners to focus on what works best. I congratulate everyone involved, especially the mothers themselves. Thanks to those efforts, alongside our additional investment of £9 million over the last five years, we now know what can and is making the difference that we want to see in Scotland. That investment has had some tangible long-lasting impacts. For example, in NHS Ayrshire and Arran, where their peer support project is integrated into their local infant feeding offer, and NHS Lothian, where they tested targeted interventions in one locality with low breastfeeding rates that have been successfully scaled up. We also continue to invest in our national donor milk bank, the only one of its kind in the UK, to innovate and expand to continue to provide a safe supply of breast milk to some of our sickest and smallest babies. I am grateful to those who continue to provide donor breast milk to support this work. Using human milk as a bridge to breastfeeding means that Scotland is following international best practice. Protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding is a fundamental principle of the World Health Organization code on marketing of breast milk substitutes. It provides robust and clear direction to all countries on how to achieve this. I am clear that regulation has and continues to have a clear role in protecting all parents from the impacts of inappropriate marketing and promotion of infant formula. It also prevents free distribution of infant formula. It has been shown in many countries, including the UK, that these tactics seriously influence infant feeding choice. We have seen over many years, indeed decades, how the marketing of infant formula has influenced parents choice. The most recent Lancet series on breastfeeding sets out clearly where these influences can cause harm. Those marketing practices undermine parents' confidence in understanding their babies' feeding behaviours as part of normal development. They also undermine breastfeeding. Regulation on marketing, as opposed to alternatives such as voluntary codes, remains the best way to achieve this consistently and equitably and in the best interests of babies. Given a child, the best start in life can be seriously affected by today's cost of living. We know that many families are struggling with the cost of infant formula and I welcome the recent interventions to review the marketing of this product and lowering of price. The cost of infant formula, which is the only other nutrition apart from breastfeeding that babies can be fed, has increased in some cases by 25 per cent over the past two years. The Competitions and Markets Authority and Glasgow MP Alison Thullis, among others, have made the case for change. The CMA report stated that families could save up to £500 buying cheaper formula options. I note that some of the costs of some infant formula have recently come down, which is welcome, but they were already too high, leading to some families being unable to make formula feeds safely. All babies should be fed safely and responsively, and feeding choices should be fully informed, supported and free from harmful commercial influences. That comes back to my overall ambition to improve the health of babies and young children as both a fundamental underpinning of overall population health and a human right. Scotland will be the first UK nation to incorporate the UNCRC into domestic law, ensuring that we are a country that respects, protects and fulfills children's rights. Protecting those rights means thinking differently and acting differently. They should include how we support the choices that women make on how long they want to breastfeed for. One of the barriers to that is how new mothers are supported to return to the workplace. NHS Scotland has worked with breastfeeding experts to develop their new, once for Scotland guideline on breastfeeding and return to work, which launched in November. That has been welcomed by the sector. Although those rights are already enshrined in law, they are not always acted upon in ways that make a difference. That can impact on the decisions of how long babies are breastfed and even if they are breastfed at all. We know that due to the on-going pressures on all families with the cost of living crisis and balancing the needs of employers over the needs of their families, some mothers are returning to work earlier than they might otherwise have done. This is influencing their infant feeding choices. This new guideline is an exemplar of how employers can act positively to consider the needs of women as mothers first and support their breastfeeding goals. I would like all employers to look at these guidelines and focus in on the action that they could take to make a difference. Now I want to return to my points about culture and societal norms. Normalising breastfeeding is much harder than it should be. This debate is not about breastfeeding versus formula feeding. It is a debate about gaining a deeper understanding of how infant feeding choices are made and, most importantly, how they should be supported. However, it takes more than supporting individual choice to make a difference. It takes action from communities, senior leaders, businesses and organisations to gain the knowledge and understanding to change societal norms and culture around breastfeeding. It is about breastfeeding being visible in areas where pregnant women and new mothers visit regularly. I am pleased in my home island of Isla that the bookshop is a breastfeeding friendly place. I admit that progress has been made, but the Royal College of Midwives are saying that midwifery is in crisis with turnover in order to improve culture. Does the minister recognise that we need to do something to help on midwives? I thank Tess White for that intervention. I think that it is clear that the Scottish Government recognises and has helped to improve the number of midwives that there are. In fact, yesterday I was speaking to two in my own constituency and I think that it is clear to enable mums and families to have the best start that we need to ensure that we have got the right number of midwives. With investment, the Scottish Government has helped to increase numbers over the past few years. Holly McNeish's poem, Embarrassed, is about her experiences of breastfeeding her baby. It is a stark poem and could be argued calls some elements of society out. I spent the first few months of her beautiful life feeling nervous and awkward and wanting everything right, surrounded by family till I stepped out of the house. It took me eight weeks to get the confidence to go into town. Now the comments around me cut like a knife. As I rush into toilet cubicles feeling nothing like nice because I'm giving her milk that's not in a bottle. I think that it's a powerful poem and it really has made me look at things and conversations that I've had since reading the poem have emphasised the powerful words that Holly has used. I commend everybody to read it. Scotland should do better and it can do better. That's why in 2019 we launched our national breastfeeding friendly Scotland scheme. Despite there being laws to support breastfeeding in public, including our world-leading legislation in Scotland, we still hear too many stories of mothers being stopped from feeding their babies and feeling uncomfortable doing so openly. Seeing other women breastfeeding in communities and hearing breastfeeding, I'm sorry, I do have to continue, hearing breastfeeding discussed and promoted as part of normal life that children experience when they're growing up, will also make a difference. At our recent national breastfeeding celebration event, I announced that following a successful pilot, the early learning modules of this scheme had been launched. Those resources will help embed the normalisation of breastfeeding to our youngest children through play and learning, supporting intergenerational behaviour change. I am fully aware there is more to do. Bringing all our learning, evidence and practice closer together can make even more of a difference. That is why we will be working closely with our stakeholders, setting out our route map for the future. There will be a focus on consistency and equity for our evidence-based practice and support that is both universal and targeted. This will be developed around the becoming breastfeeding friendly review from 2018, and we will set out progress on those recommendations and learn from our national improvement programme, which we aim to publish in the spring. We will also be clear how we will use data to measure progress over the coming years, and how we can continue to share learning and innovation between cross-sector partners. We know that mums and new parents welcome and value support from their peers, especially for infant feeding. To better understand its reach and impact, we will review peer support across Scotland over the next two years. Informed by new parents who have used those services or tried to access them and our service providers. We are clear that we remain committed to the UNICEF UK baby friendly initiative. With all settings, maternity and community in Scotland accredited, we continue to use those standards as a foundation for continuous improvement. Those standards are built around core aspects of infant feeding care, including skin-to-skin, the mother and baby bond, and helping parents to respond to feeding cues. Public Health Scotland is off to a good start, and the parent club website has great accessible information. I want breast milk to be seen as the normal nutrition for babies, and for all new parents to have the information and support they need to provide safe, responsive infant feeding. I am determined to make that happen and to confirm that I commend this motion to Parliament. Members, I wish to know that we have a fair amount of time in hand this afternoon, and as long as possible, the members will receive that time back for any interventions. I now call on Tess White to speak to and move amendment 11935.2 up to 11 minutes, Ms White. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The benefits of breastfeeding are well known, but the difficulties establishing and sustaining breastfeeding for mother and baby are not widely recognised. For many new mothers, breastfeeding can feel like an unexpected battle, especially after childbirth. You're overjoyed, but on your knees from exhaustion, poor latch, not enough milk, too much milk, thrush, blocked milk dots, tongtie, mastitis, cluster feeding, infant weight loss. Something that is supposed to be natural can feel like anything but, and one mother shared with me that the problem she experienced as she tried to breastfeed felt like the first failure as a mum. Another mum told me that she cried every time feed times came around as she was told by hospital staff that breast is best. She felt like she was failing when her baby didn't latch or feed properly. I worry that an unintended consequence of promoting and celebrating breastfeeding is that new mothers who can't breastfeed or don't want can feel a sense of shame. Policymakers and health practitioners need to be sensitive to this, because feeding your baby means so much more than policy guidance and government targets. Most new mothers will require some level of support to successfully establish breastfeeding, and that support will often come from midwives following the baby's birth, who can advise on attachment and position and assess the baby for the tongtie or a tongtie. However, midwives are increasingly called away from essential times supporting infant feeding to cover acute care. Community midwives, too, are so important in supporting maternal and infant physical and mental health in those crucial first days. Postnatal care is often called the Cinderella service, something that midwifery services strive to provide but often struggle to deliver because the capacity just simply isn't in place. The Royal College of Midwives is clear that midwifery services in Scotland are facing some real challenges, which is why the Scottish Conservatives amendment today emphasises the importance of staffing. Demographic and societal changes are putting increasing pressure on workforce demand and the SNP government is failing to step up to the challenge. Meanwhile, the retention of experienced midwifery staff continues to be an issue with many wanting to leave the professional together because they worry they cannot deliver the required quality of care. Presiding Officer, the figures are striking. Globally, if almost all mothers breastfed, then 823,000 infant deaths and 20,000 maternal deaths from breast cancer could be prevented. But if Scotland is to realise the ambition to support women with their feeding journeys, it's vital that the resources are in place. Without these resources, the risk is that new mothers fill the pressure to breastfeed without the interventions to succeed. That won't just impact breastfeeding rates, it can have a damaging impact on maternal mental health. Of course, while midwives are a crucial source of support for mothers wanting to breastfeed, peer support services have done so much to help new mums as they establish breastfeeding, which can take several weeks. Breast Buddies Angus is an amazing peer support group which provides weekly support groups, local WhatsApp group chats, antenatal classes, one-to-one support by text and phone and a private Facebook group. It provides the targeted support and community spirit that so many mothers miss in the isolation of early motherhood. It's during those initial days and weeks that it helps so much to have someone else to say, me too, or that's completely normal. Cara Jameson is one of those wonderful volunteers who has helped countless mothers to navigate their feeding journey across forfer, montrose, carnusti, a broath, breakin and moneyfee. She says that the peer support group struggles from year to year to secure reliable funding, like so many other third party sector organisations which work alongside public services. The support network is desperate for long-term funding to help it survive. Cara has also shared her concerns about the centralisation of specialist infant feeding support services in Dundee. A new mum in Montrose with a baby with a suspected tongue-tie must travel an hour each way to be seen at Ninewells. Mothers recovering from a C-section must not drive, so it's up to two hours one way by public transport to access specialist infant feeding support. I have regularly raised geographical disparities in specialist healthcare services with the SNP Government, especially about maternal mental health. Postcode lotteries like this can act as a barrier to accessing care. These services need to be delivered as locally as possible to ensure no mum is left behind. And there are other obstacles as well. For babies requiring a tongue-tie division, waiting lists can be variable. Even a few days can feel like an eternity for parents whose baby is struggling to feed and losing weight. Interventions to support feeding in the interim, a cycle of breastfeeding, pumping and combination bottle feeding can be physically and emotionally exhausting for the mother who is in postpartum recovery. The Labour amendment is right to highlight concerns that health visits for mothers and babies are being reduced to staffing pressures, which is a massive concern. This is happening in Angus in my own region, where parents were contacted by health officials to say there would be no scheduled reviews between the three month check-up and when children are aged between 13 and 15 months. There are very real concerns for the well-being of babies and families who will be left without support for a year. We must recognise that breastfeeding is usually established in the first month to six weeks after the baby's birth, and that the resources needed to be available in that crucial window to support mothers who want to try it. So many moms want to persevere, but they find that they just can't, which is why it's so interesting that at the time of the health visitor first visit, around 10 to 14 days of age, less than half of babies, 37% were exclusively breastfed, that's just 37%. The drop-off rate for some mums can stem from embarrassment or anxiety over feeding in public, and I share the aspiration that this becomes normalised so no mum is worried about being judged. One mum shared with me that she was so nervous about feeding her baby in public that she sat on the floor of a nearby women's toilet. Another reason I add why preserving women's spaces is so important. An important two is the language used by health practitioners and society more widely. Women are not chest feeders. It's a term I note has been incorporated into NHS's own guidance for managers and employees on breastfeeding in the workplace, and it's wrong. Presiding Officer, breastfeeding can contribute to a beautiful bond between mother and baby. The health and economic benefits are proven, but breastfeeding can be very difficult, painful and exhausting. Pregnant women and new mums need to know they're not alone, that it isn't always a smooth journey and that support is in place to help them navigate. It's very important that we do support midwives. The SNP Government must ensure that support continues and that it meets the rising complexity of care and level of demand. I am pleased to open today's debate on breastfeeding for Scottish Labour and can I move the amendment in my name. I have both a personal interest in this important topic, having trained many years ago as a dietician and met with many mothers and babies over the years. It is also an area that Labour MSPs before me have championed. I don't think that I can speak about breastfeeding in the Scottish Parliament without mentioning the world-leading legislation brought to this Parliament by my friend Elaine Smith. The Breastfeeding Scotland Act 2005 makes it illegal to stop a mother feeding her baby under the age of two years, either by breastfeeding or bottle feeding, in premises where the public have general access. Legislation, I am absolutely sure, has contributed to the improved rates of breastfeeding mentioned in the Government motion today. I want to start an agreement with Government today and really emphasise that Scottish Labour fully supports the initiatives in Scotland to improve breastfeeding rates and that closing the gap on inequalities is paramount. Breastfeeding plays a big part in improving health over an entire life. I will take the intervention from Rachael Hamilton. Thank you to Carol Mockham for taking the intervention. It was just about the breastfeeding act that she was talking about. I breastfed three children but never in my time ever saw anyone using that act to protect their breastfeeding for children of their child under two. I just wondered if she thinks that it is time that we have an awareness campaign that makes sure that women are aware of that act because I think that it is something that has just sort of disappeared in that sense. Carol Mockham, I can give you the time back. Thank you very much for that intervention. It is a very good point that time passes and we perhaps forget some of the legislation that comes out in making sure that people in our communities are aware. Funnily enough, I was at a women's group earlier today over lunchtime and I very much spoke about that legislation and about that notion about how we make legislation work for people in their communities. So an intervention that works for me today. If I just go back to speaking in general terms, children get one chance at childhood and it is incumbent on all of us, whether we are family members, members of the public or politicians, to do what we can to get it right for every child. At this moment, when a child is born, when we can ensure that children have a chance to flourish and improve their health and wellbeing over their entire life, I think that we are all agreeing in the Scottish Parliament that we should encourage that. But not only that, at this wonderful moment, we have a chance to improve the life of the mother. Long-term health benefits of breastfeeding are well documented. This is an amazing opportunity and government must ensure the approach to breastfeeding really champions this fact as well. Presiding Officer, it is clear that improving breastfeeding rates in Scotland would help to improve the health of babies and mothers and reduce inequalities in health. This is why this is such an important debate today. Because there is such strong evidence that breastfeeding benefits both mother and baby, there is great value in government committing to invest in policies supporting and promoting it. Public Health Scotland is clear that breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for babies and young children and supports children's health in the short and long term. We have heard that breastfeeding reduces children's risk of gut, chest and ear infection and leads to small but significant improvement in brain development. For mothers, breastfeeding benefits mothers' health with strong evidence that it reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer and in some evidence that it may also promote maternal health, healthy weight and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. The benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother are seen across the world and it is important to note that this does include high-income countries such as Scotland. At times, that can be questions. It is perhaps easier to understand the benefits in less developed countries, but it can be overlooked in Western society that there are clear benefits. Unicefs UK are absolutely clear that increasing the number of babies who are breastfed could cut the incidence of common childhood illnesses, as described above, and not only benefit that individual, but overall it then estimates that it could save the NHS across the UK. Up to 50 million each year. It is interesting that breastfeeding rates in comparable Western countries with similar population sizes and demographics show that it is possible to dramatically increase rates with a supportive breastfeeding culture and the political will to do so. So continued investment and commitment from the government is entirely sensible. Comparing results can be difficult as many nations across Europe gather details in slightly different ways, making it difficult to compare, but analysing countries with positive changes in rates helps to establish what can be done to introduce breastfeeding friendly initiatives. Over the last decade, Unicef UK have complimented Scotland on its work in this area, highlighting market improvements in breastfeeding rates, particularly the rise in breastfeeding at six months in one of the studies that I looked at from 32 per cent in 2010 to 43 per cent in 2017. The view is that those results highlight the positive impact of national infant feeding strategies across Scotland, including supporting maternity and community services in Scotland to achieve baby friendly accreditation, which I will come back to later in my remarks. The latest figures that we know in Scotland show that two out of three 66 per cent of babies born in Scotland in 2022-23 were breastfed, but at least some time after their birth 57 per cent of babies were being breastfed at 10 to 14 days. It is thought that the increase here was mainly due to the mixed breast and formula feeding, but all improvements are welcome. However, we need to acknowledge that it is slow and merits strong scrutiny from government to ensure that they are committed to on-going improvements. We also need to make sure that the data is easily accessible and user friendly. It is not easy to find light for light figures, and that would definitely be helpful when we are trying to be supportive in initiatives and work constructively to support the Government in this. Current guidance recommends that babies should receive just breast milk for the first six months. We have heard that sometimes we do not achieve that very well and then introduce the introduction of solid foods after that, but that children should continue to be breastfed up until their second birthday, or for as long as the mother and baby wish. In Scotland, we do have some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world, and we know that many women are stopping breastfeeding before they actually want to. That is where we have a responsibility to make sure that that does not happen. What we want to do as legislators is to make sure that women have a real choice to breastfeed should they wish to do so. I have mentioned before that there is good evidence that interventions can work to improve breastfeeding rates, and that is why Scottish Labour has sought to bring forward the amendment today to highlight the need to ensure that women have all the levers in place to support breastfeeding, and key to that is health visitor services. We are hopeful that the Government will see this in the way in which it is intended to nudge them to make commitments to support the vital health visitor services across Scotland. Scottish Labour is concerned by reports that health visitors for mothers and babies are being reduced due to staffing pressures. As the amendment states, we call on the Scottish Government to guarantee that families are able to fully access this service. I spoke to a number of women in preparation for today's debate, and every single woman mentioned to me the strong support within the hospital is there, but the absence is once they are home. If we want to support women to breastfeed, certainly to exclusively breastfeed, we need to have longer term support and health visiting guarantees this. Overall, I acknowledge that there is more of a comprehensive approach needed as mentioned by the Minister and by Tess White. The reality is that, in a debate like this, if we do not accept that there are funding restraints and that the sectors such as the NHS and the third sector are being stripped of funds, then we are not doing it justice. To make those initiatives work, we have to have in place good training and provision for our health savers workers and longer term funding for the third sector. I am conscious of time and in closing I want to reiterate Scottish Labour's support for a real choice for mothers to breastfeed. We support the legislation in place in Scotland and the schemes aimed at ensuring breastfeeding is embedded in our communities and businesses across Scotland. We hope that the Scottish Government will address the issues raised in today's debate to make breastfeeding a reality for all the mothers and babies who wish to breastfeed and would benefit greatly from it. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak to the Liberal Democrats in this important debate and I thank Jenny Minto for securing chamber of time for it. We have come a long way in this country in terms of our approach to breastfeeding, which was laid out in the 2005 act. That legislation represented a step change in our attitude and society's attitudes to breastfeeding, which until then I think were still shrouded in stigma and at times regressive. Even after that legislation, I was brought up personally against that stigma when my wife and I went to a bar with our newborn son Finn some 15 years ago, so a couple of years after the act was passed or a little bit later even still. We rang up the bar and asked if it was okay to bring a child in. We were going to be having some food with friends. They said that children were welcome until 8.30. That was until Jill started to breastfeed Finn and we were made so uncomfortable that a member of staff suggested that the advice that we had been given was wrong and that we had to leave. We phoned out the bar again later and we advised that there was nothing wrong with the advice that was given originally and we could see that we just made waiting staff feel uncomfortable. Breastfeeding has an important role to play in children's health outcomes. We know for instance that it helps to protect children from a range of infections and illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. We also know that there is a role to play in protecting mothers too from ovarian cancer and from breast cancer. There are all the added financial advantages to families who can save on the cost of formula. We should be proud of the distance that we have travelled in this country. It's a point of pride that we were the first country to legally protect breastfeeding in that legislation back in 2005, taken through Parliament by Elaine Smith of Labour and backed by Liberal Democrat Labour Coalition votes behind her. That act made it a criminal offence to deliberately prevent or to stop someone from feeding a child under the age of two in a public place in Scotland. Although we have come that distance, there is still work to be done to ensure that every mother has the support that they need to make the best and most informed choice for themselves and for their baby. A recent infant feeding survey found that 65 per cent of babies born in Scotland were breastfed for at least some time after birth and 46 per cent of babies still being breastfed after the six to eight week mark. But what is notable about this survey is that those mothers living in more affluent areas were more likely to breastfeed than those in deprived areas. This is a health inequality. There is also a disparity when you look at how health boards are performing when it comes to supporting those mothers to breastfeed. Government must give health boards the support that they need to close the gaps, with a particular emphasis on those less affluent areas. We can't have a postcode lottery when it comes to giving children the best start in life. It is also very important to say that that decision whether to breastfeed is of course always solely the mothers. Women must be given all the information that they can about the benefits of breastfeeding and provided with all of the advice and in person support if needs be to help them to actually breastfeed if they so choose, but that support must always be support and never ever pressure. Having a child is a life changing event. For many people sadly that change is not as straightforward as they had assumed it might be or we would wish it for them. Postpartum is a very vulnerable time for new mothers and some women find it more challenging than others to feed their baby. Breastfeeding can also become more difficult because of infection or mastitis. It is vital therefore that when people talk about the benefits of breastfeeding we do so in a way that does not stigmatise any mother who is unable to breastfeed or chooses not to. There are cultural aspects to this as well. It is also vital that any mother who struggles with postnatal depression is given all the support and care that they need to cope. It is deeply concerning that only 14 per cent of Scottish health boards met a UK-wide standard devised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists for specialist perinatal mental health support. Scottish Liberal Democrats were proud to be the first party in this Parliament to set out a comprehensive and dedicated strategy for improving detection and treatment of maternal mental health issues, bolstering our perinatal mental health offer. It was gratifying when the Government adopted much of that blueprint. However, despite the good work that has been done in this area and the good progress that has been made, there sadly continues to be that postcode lottery for perinatal mental health. Women across Scotland cannot afford the Government resting on its laurels on their issue. Protecting mothers and giving newborn babies the best possible start in life has to be an absolute priority for everyone in this chamber, not just for the Government but for this entire Parliament. We now move to the open debate. I call for Stephanie Callaghan to be followed by Rachel Hamilton around six minutes. I am delighted to speak in today's Scottish Government debate, celebrating and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland. Breast milk is the perfect source of nutrition for babies. I am lucky enough to have fed three babies myself too. We will hear and watch about the health benefits today. Back in the middle ages, breast milk was deemed to possess magical qualities, and I would argue that they weren't far from the truth. Today's motion rightly welcomes the rise in Scotland's breastfeeding rates, and the Scottish Government's 9 million targeted investment, including support from infant-feeding teams and family nurse partnerships, is beginning to close the stark inequalities that exist for some groups. However, we need much, much more than that. We need a radical shift in thinking and in actions. Ambition is key, and looking to the long term, we should be aiming to double the current breastfeeding rate, 94 per cent instead of 47 per cent of babies breastfeeding at 68 weeks old. We should be looking for creative ways to inspire many more young women to successfully nurture their babies for the first six months of life with breast milk only, as recommended by the World Health Organization. We must do more to tackle social attitudes towards breastfeeding mums of all ages, recognising that women's breasts are first and foremost for nurturing children. That's a huge challenge, but it should absolutely be our ambition, because current breastfeeding rates in other countries demonstrate that it's entirely possible, as we've heard already today. The Scottish Government has a commendable history of investing in children's wellbeing from the Scottish child payment to prenatal care and 1140 hours of early years education. The baby box initiative is also noteworthy, and I hope to hear more detail about its role in normalising breastfeeding from the minister today. Not too long ago, Presiding Officer, yes, certainly. Rachael Hamilton. I note with interest reference to the baby box. I just wondered what was in the baby box that supported women to breastfeed. Stephanie Callaghan. I thank the member for that intervention. What I'm asking is that I hope to hear the detail on that. I had asked a parliamentary question before and she's confirmed that that would be the case. Not too long ago, Presiding Officer, most of our grannies embraced breastfeeding, but the huge surge in popularity of modern formula sadly brought a significant shift in infant feeding practices. The decline in breastfeeding resulted in a profound loss of knowledge that had previously been shared across families and communities. In a very short time indeed, that network of support that so many mothers relied on for breastfeeding success just disappeared. While acknowledging the role of artificial formula milk, it should not be normalised as convenient, like-for-like alternative to breastfeeding because it isn't. Presiding Officer, beyond the well-established nutritional and physical health benefits of breastfeeding, there is a grown body of research highlighting its far-reaching psychological effects. For example, breast milk stimulates cognitive, social and emotional brain development in our babies and children, advantages that last a lifetime, and the benefits are not confined to our children. Breastfeeding mothers often report lower levels of anxiety and stress, and clinical evidence backs that up. However, there are some qualities that make breastfeeding really magical. There is the very first feed after birth that is rightly hailed as a baby's first vaccination, an injection of immunisation from the mum. Breast milk adapts when mum or child is sick, providing specific antibodies to combat that illness. In morning breast milk, there is a rising cortisol that acts like an energy drink to wake you up, and in the evening melatonin rises and acts as a sleeping potion, helping to develop a baby's curcadian rhythm. Best of all, when mum's breastfeed, the love hormone oxytocin is released, inducing a strong sense of love, calm and connectedness between mums and babies. I know from my work as a breastfeeding peer support volunteer that many mums look forward to making that magical breastfeeding connection with their baby. While a tiny number of mums cannot physically breastfeed, many mums feel it they feel. Most often, that stems from a lack of intensive support in the crucial early hours, days and weeks post-birth. Until we rebuild our multi-generational network of family and community knowledge, mums will still require the assistance of health professionals and volunteers to overcome challenges that low milk supply, mastitis and latching issues. I thank Stephanie Callaghan for giving way and a commender for the work that she has done in relation to the area. It is on health visitors because, in my own experience, my daughter Charlotte has not had all of her health visits because they are so understaffed that they are not able to fulfil all the milestones within a baby's journey. Does she find that concerning? What can we do to try and get more people to become health visitors to make sure that we have the support to make mums breastfeed? I thank the member for her intervention. I think that it has gone off the speech a little bit there, but certainly it is something that I know we definitely need to work really, really hard at doing. Not every mum will succeed at breastfeeding and there is no need for guilt because our best is always going to be good enough. Social acceptance is also key, feeling that it is okay to feed your baby wherever and whenever they are hungry. At urgent employers to play their part by joining the breastfeeding friendly Scotland scheme, it is really quick and easy to become a supportive space for feeding mums. Breastfeeding groups are really vital too, providing a safe environment where mums can observe other speeds and swap tips and suitable codes for covering up during feeding because let's face it, no mum wants their post pregnancy belly on show. Witnessing the progress of mums who are struggling to feed one week but thriving the next also is a big boost to confidence. It can be much easier to share your challenges really honestly with volunteers or other mums than it is sometimes with busy health professionals. I could talk about breastfeeding all day and much of my passion comes from personal experience, but it is also about the mountains of irrefutable evidence that breastfeeding gives our babies and children the very best start in life, and that is certainly worth celebrating and supporting. I'll finish with the words Keith Hansen used in his contribution to the Lancet breastfeeding series that encapsulate the extensive health, nutritional and emotional benefits that breastfeeding provides for children, mothers and for wider society. He said, if breastfeeding did not already exist, someone who invented it today would deserve a dual Nobel prize in medicine and economics. Thank you very much Ms Callaghan. Just a reminder, we've got a bit of time in hand so anybody taking interventions should get the time back. I now call Rachel Hamilton to be followed by Karen Adam around six minutes. Thank you Presiding Officer. Today's debate focuses on the important topic of breastfeeding and speeches from colleagues across the chamber have recognised this and also shared their vital personal experience. I thought that was a very good speech that we've just heard and I want to also bring my own personal experience to this because bringing life into the world is one of the greatest experiences and a joy. I feel very lucky to have done so. It's a very exciting time, but it also can bring, as others have recognised, a whole host of challenges for many mothers, which includes breastfeeding. I breastfed, as I said earlier, three of my children and that did have its ups and downs and I lurched from euphoria to exasperation. I put a lot of pressure on myself, I felt judged, I felt the stigma, as some have described, of feeding in public. I worried all the time that my baby was hungry or I worried that they had had too much. I also had mastitis and very large refrigerated cabbage leaves became my best friends. I felt very awkward. The Presiding Officer doesn't understand this, ladies. He's frowning. It's very useful. You buy a giant cabbage, Presiding Officer, you put it in the fridge and you peel one by one the leaves and then I can only leave it to your imagination what you do with those leaves, Presiding Officer. I struggled with the basics of latching on the breastfeeding itself. Some midwives were helpful, some health visitors were helpful and some were not. To succeed at breastfeeding, mothers must also look after themselves. I think some of us have slightly forgot to talk about the health of the mother as well today, nutritionally, emotionally and enable the mother to get plenty of rest, but that's of course sometimes not a reality. By the time I had cracked breastfeeding and there were a lot of cracks, I had to return to work when you'll never believe it my eldest was 12 weeks old and my middle daughter was 14 weeks old. By the time I got to grips, yes. I'm very grateful to Rachel Hamilton for taking my intervention. I'm loath to interrupt her speech. I'm enjoying it very much and it is bringing back some degree of nostalgia to our early days of parenthood. I recall being taught to help my wife to achieve the latch that she describes. Does she recognise that fathers can actually be part of the breastfeeding journey and can support their wives more than just in moral ways but also sometimes technical ways as well? I totally agree that there's a paternal support that has to be recognised and can be encouraged and an awareness of that today hopefully will filter out of this chamber. My husband wasn't helpful, he was very good at making a nice cup of tea at about five in the morning. As I said, my eldest daughter was 12 weeks when I went back to work, my middle daughter was 14 weeks when I went back to work and I just couldn't believe it because I had requested part-time hours. I am digressing slightly here but I was told that I wasn't allowed to have part-time hours because if I had part-time hours the men in the organisation which represented about 95% of the organisation would also have to have part-time hours. As far as I knew at the time, I didn't notice that any of my male colleagues were breastfeeding. Thankfully, the Government has updated employment conditions for maternity leave and improved that flexibility. As part of that whole health aspect for women who are bringing up children and breastfeeding, that is a really important aspect. Moving on to my third daughter, a few days after giving birth to my youngest, I became really unwell and eventually after six weeks I was diagnosed with a very painful condition called rheumatoid arthritis, which I have talked about in this chamber before. However, it meant that I had to get help from my parents, I actually had to move in with my parents and they had to help me pick up Willa, help me to not breastfeed but pick up the baby so that she was in position for breastfeeding and all the other things that go along with having a newborn. That reminded me of that experience, especially preparing for this speech. If you think about it, the challenges that I faced perhaps were similar to being a single mother or having a disability, having an illness as I did, having a caesarian with no help at all, having twins or triplets. It's almost impossible to look after yourself without support, it's impossible to eat well and to sleep well and therefore then impossible to give breastfeeding your really best go. Why did I choose breastfeeding? Well, it's possibly the same reasons that others have chosen breastfeeding, but the question remains why one in three babies in Scotland are not breastfed at all. Despite it being free and convenient, which was attractive to me, it has huge health benefits, as has been mentioned before by my colleagues. There is a vast disparity between breastfeeding rates in the most affluent and deprived areas. The minister mentioned that breastfeeding rates have been climbing in Scotland, but it's vital to understand why they are not higher and the levers that we have to act to change that where possible is important in the action points that I hope the minister will take away today. We need to ask what is preventing women from breastfeeding other than the basic things that I have highlighted during this speech. We should also note for many women that it is difficult, it's an emotionally taxing experience and has highlighted it's not easy for everyone. My own experiences, as I said, were mixed with the midwives and the health visitors, but of course most of them, they work round the clock, they're fantastic, they're very supportive, they do an incredible job and their support and advice and encouragement is something that can make all the difference. I think that the minister will recognise that she would be the first to admit that there is more work to be done, but it is the grassroots organisations that are pulling out the stops to support women breastfeeding. Yesterday I visited Berwickshire Swap, it's a team led by Leanne Drummond in iMouth at their industrial unit and they run a sustainable children's clothes swapping charity across the borders and they respond to families in need with emergency clothing parcels. The organiser, Leanne, told me that at all the swap events they have a quiet area where women can breastfeed, which is fantastic and also helps them with social isolation and they can chat with each other about some of the problems and issues that they may be having and of course it's a very natural thing to do so why shouldn't they? Breastfeeding in the Borders is also another incredibly important support service that has 30 volunteers and that was the intervention that I was going to make to you minister was around not just the people that you highlighted in your speech that are paid individuals but the people who are doing this off their own back and there's many across all of our constituencies and regions and we should give credit to those. But Julie from their breastfeeding in the Borders told me yesterday that in 2022 they helped 344 women with one-to-one support, which I think is fantastic and the local mums said things like this and I quote, It's such a valuable resource. You are amazing, keep doing what you are doing and it's an incredibly supportive service so well done to Julie and breastfeeding in the Borders. We clearly need more public acceptance as others have spoken about of breastfeeding and in 2017 the Scottish maternal and infant survey, nearly a quarter of women said they felt uncomfortable about breastfeeding in public. Do you want me to close? I think you need to be concluding. We all know the benefits and I just think that in conclusion it's vital that everybody, not just women or mothers, celebrates and supports breastfeeding in Scotland. Thank you, Ms Hamilton, particularly the personal tutorial elements of your contribution. I now call Karen Adam to be followed by Claire Baker around six minutes. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I'm having flashbacks with smells of sour milk and cabbage now. Thank you, Rachel Hamilton. I'm actually delighted to take part in a debate on a subject which is very close to my heart to, no pun intended. I'm speaking today as an MSP of course but I'm also talking as a mother who breastfed six children in very different circumstances and each experience was unique. While I say that I did love it, it was sometimes fraught with significant challenges and painful at that. Before I begin, I want to emphasise the utmost respect for the varied choices and circumstances of all parents. Some face medical, physical or personal choices that make breastfeeding difficult or impossible. It's vital to remember that the ultimate goal is the health and wellbeing of the child and fed is best. It's a principle that we must all embrace, whether through breastfeeding, formula feeding or a combination of both. What matters most is that children are nourished, loved and cared for. In Scotland we must strive to create an inclusive society where everyone feels supportive irrespective of feeding choices. In reflecting on my own journey I can't help but recognise how each different experience of postpartum motherhood has been for me, particularly my first time as a mother aged 16 in 1991 and my last in 2011 at the age of 36. Now the societal landscape around breastfeeding and maternal support underwent a significant transformation over these two decades but so did I as an individual. As a young mother at 16 navigating the challenges of breastfeeding was daunting, the support and messaging around breastfeeding was different then and as a young person advocating for myself in the face of these challenges was not always easy. I was more vulnerable, less informed and heavily reliant on the support systems around me and this is a reality for many first time mothers, especially those in non-supportive environments. The role of professional support in these formative stages cannot be overstated. This experience starkly contrasts with my journey at age 36 where I found myself more confident and assertive. The societal messaging around breastfeeding had evolved and so had the support structures but more importantly I had evolved. I was better equipped both emotionally and intellectually to advocate for my needs and those of my child. Each of my child's needs were different and my body also responded differently each time from feeding for three months and going up to as long as two years with another. What stood out was the incredible support that I received from midwives and health visitors and those in my circle. Stephanie Callaghan, I thank the member for taking that intervention. I am wondering your baby that you fed for three months, did you find it quite a bit of a nightmare afterwards having to wash bottles and sterilise bottles and heat up milk and mix bottles because I know I certainly found that incredibly difficult and would never have given up had I realised. I thank the member for that intervention and I will go on to talk about why it ended a bit early but absolutely one of the perks of breastfeeding is the convenience of it and particularly the cost of it as well. I would say that the guidance from those professionals and my circle around me in the encouragement and the expertise that they gave me was vital and they didn't just help me feed, they helped me believe in my ability to nourish and nurture. That is vital as I can attest that unfortunately the negative perceptions and a lack of understanding from those around me in one particular time of my life coupled with my vulnerable postpartum state led to a premature end to one of my breastfeeding journeys and I was disappointed with that and it just shows how far support can really take you. Those contrast and experiences highlight an essential aspect of our discussion today, the varied needs of mothers at different stages of their lives. It underscores the importance of tailored support, recognising that a one-size-fits-all approach does not suffice and every mother's journey is unique. Our support systems must be flexible and responsive to those varied needs. As we delve deeper into the subject of breastfeeding in Scotland, it is crucial to acknowledge and celebrate the Scottish Government's commendable efforts and achievements in this area. The Scottish Government has not only recognised the importance of breastfeeding but has also taken concrete actions to support it across the nation. One of the most notable achievements is the significant investment in breastfeeding initiatives with an investment of over 9 million. The Scottish Government has shown a strong commitment to enhancing breastfeeding support services and this funding has been instrumental in increasing breastfeeding rates and reducing inequalities in breastfeeding across Scotland, reflecting a dedicated effort to ensure that all children, regardless of their background, have the best start in life. Furthermore, the Government's endorsement and integration of the UNICEF UK baby friendly initiative in maternal, neonatal and community settings has been game changing. By embedding this initiative in the NHS and in core nursing and maternity education curricula, Scotland has taken a comprehensive approach to improving the quality of care for mothers and babies. This initiative not only promotes breastfeeding but also supports mothers in developing a strong bond with their babies, which is crucial for the overall wellbeing of both mother and child. In addition to those initiatives, the Scottish Government has actively worked towards creating a supportive environment for breastfeeding mothers in public spaces. The national breastfeeding friendly Scotland scheme is a testament to this effort, encouraging businesses and public spaces to welcome and support breastfeeding mothers. The initiative is a significant step in normalising breastfeeding in public and making society more inclusive and supportive of mothers' choices. To note that supporting breastfeeding in public is vital, but also calling for rooms where breastfeeding can be done in private as to a mother's choice, I spoke to my daughter last night, my first child, who I had the honour and joy of seeing breastfeeding my two granddaughters, our own two children. Her thoughts on the debate today and she said that ultimately it was about support and choice and while it is great to encourage breastfeeding in public, many women want to feed completely topless. Some have fussy feeders who wriggle, roll around and make a mess, which find quite difficult to navigate in a public setting and therefore they do prefer a place that is in private, so to have that option is essential. In closing, I would like to express my gratitude to the Scottish Government for its support and commitment to breastfeeding, because I personally know how important it is. Those efforts have not only made a significant difference in the lives of countless mothers and children, but I have also positioned Scotland as a leader in promoting and supporting breastfeeding. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak in this afternoon's debate. Breastfeeding can be an emotive subject, and while we are celebrating the benefits and the importance of encouraging breastfeeding, we also recognise that every child's feeding journey is different. A number of factors will impact on a decision or ability to breastfeed, and our role as parliamentarians and policy makers is to ensure that those who want to are supported as well as they can be. The decision to exclusively breastfeed or to mixfeed or to formula feed is not one that we should question on an individual basis, but what we must do is provide a supportive, encouraging and enabling environment for every woman who wants to breastfeed. We should ensure that every public space is a welcome environment. Elaine Smith's member's bill has already been highlighted this afternoon that it gave women the right to breastfeed in public spaces without challenge. It was a groundbreaking piece of legislation that challenged public attitudes and provided protection for breastfeeding women, but we can do more to ensure that the environment is supportive. While we welcome the overall increase in breastfeeding rates and recognise the related health benefits for both children and mothers, we must also note that, for Scotland and the UK, breastfeeding rates are comparatively low. In recent years, we have seen positive steps being taken in addressing public attitudes and in the provision of information and support, but there is still much more that we can do in addressing the differences in rates that persist across age, location, ethnicity and social economic background. There are strong generational and peer group pressures on mothers when they are making decisions about how to feed their baby. The PHS report on infant feeding statistics from November last year shows an increase in breastfeeding among younger age groups, which is really positive, yet the gradient across age groups persists, and in 2022-23 mothers aged over 40 were more than three times more likely to breastfeed than mothers aged under 20. Babies born to mothers in more affluent areas are still much more likely to be breastfed than those in the most deprived areas. We need to ensure that expectant mothers have access to information and help that they need to make a decision on breastfeeding. We need support groups available in familiar community settings and we need to see better co-ordinated and comprehensive provision that is clearly communicated from an early stage. A finding from the UNICEF report becoming breastfeeding friendly, which was about Scotland, found that this was something that really did need to be improved. The third sector and voluntary organisations play a vital role in this area, but it is the role of health professionals to signpost and support women. We cannot wait until mothers are at a point of struggling to breastfeed before they know what help is available to them. Being a new parent can be exceptionally difficult, and while feeding is a personal journey, it is not one in which mothers should ever be left feeling alone or unsupported with. We have seen an increase in rates across all health boards from 2012-2013, but geographical inequalities have also increased during that time. Those rates are impacted by a range of factors, including age, level of deprivation and ethnic diversity, as well as attitudes that are within the local community. However, they highlight the importance of delivering local support that recognises those factors. Looking at NHS Fife's annual report on children and young people for 2023, the rate of breastfeeding at the six and eight-week mark has increased in the last 10 years to 41.9 per cent. It is still below the overall rate for Scotland, and there continues to be a sharp drop in the number of women who start breastfeeding to those who continue to do so at six to eight weeks. I am keen to hear more from the minister about how more localised and targeted steps could be taken to focus support to the areas where rates remain low and in helping to reduce the number of women who stopped breastfeeding earlier than they would be wished to. If we are to get any closer to the WHO recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding until six months, we must not only increase initial rates but address the drop-off. That needs to begin as early as possible. Research has also shown that decisions around infant feeding tend to be made prior to pregnancy or in the first trimester, underlining the importance of public information and attitudes and the impact that that has on those decisions. When it comes to home visits for newborns, having support available for feeding must be provided for at that stage. Scottish Labour has called for a home visit by a breastfeeding support worker within the first week a baby spends at home, as well as further consultation to ensure that their needs are met. An amendment today highlights reports of visits being reduced as a result of staffing pressures, which will be covered by other colleagues in their contributions, but we have to ensure that all families are able to access the health visiting pathway. While the Government motion highlights a role for breastfeeding in supporting the economy, the SPICE briefings notes additional cost of formula feed. We also need to recognise that there are economic challenges related to breastfeeding. A US article published last year titled No such thing as a free lunch looked at the direct marginal cost of breastfeeding, including equipment, modified nutritional intake and time opportunity for breastfeeding mothers. A breastfeeding mother needs to be a well nourished mother and needs access to simple things, often things like bras and clothing that enable breastfeeding and this can be out of reach for some mothers. It found in comparison to a year's supply of formula, breastfeeding for a year could cost significantly more. The time opportunity costs for breastfeeding of three to four hours per day may be prohibitively high, particularly for those in a lower income or those with other caring responsibilities. A need to be part of our approach to ensuring that breastfeeding remains a viable option for those who wish to do so. While we are focused today on the importance of encouraging and celebrating breastfeeding, I would like to briefly touch on increasing costs related to formula feeding and the risk to the health and safety of babies and recognise that the minister did also raise that. There are a number of reasons why mothers choose formula milk and this will include mothers who breastfeed or have breastfed. We need to ensure that there is an affordable and consistent supply of infant formula. The UK Government has a role in strengthening law around marketing and both our Governments need to ensure the level of support provided through schemes like best start, keep pace with inflation and increasing costs so that infant formulas are affordable within the allowance. In times of financial difficulty, babies being fed infant formula can be increasingly vulnerable and it is vital that services work to ensure timely and sensitive support is provided. I am just about to close, but I will take it. I thank the member for giving way. Does she welcome the efforts recently by some supermarkets to lower the pricing of formulas to make it more affordable for families that are experiencing a tough time just now because of the cost of living crisis? I very much do though, it is a bit overdue and there are still families who cannot afford to purchase. I was visiting the Big Who project in Loggelly last week that has a partnership with Amazon and one of the biggest demands they have on supply is for infant formula and infant and baby essentials. Encouraging and supporting breastfeeding is an important public health activity and one that we must continue to work at. There is much more that we can do to ensure that support is available more readily, more locally and at an earlier stage. By delivering that alongside improvements in public attitudes, in creating feeding-friendly places and by having supportive employment practices, we can create an environment that can help more women begin and continue their breastfeeding journey with their baby. I thank the member for giving way. Approximately 20 years ago, a young or I should say younger me was a trainee social worker attended appearance group setting with my practice teacher then. When I returned from it, I was apologised to for the fact that one of the mothers had been breastfeeding during the session. If I am being absolutely honest, I have not even noticed, but I did start to reflect on that experience and the fact that I can still remember it now probably tells you something. In my early 20s at the time, I had not even thought of breastfeeding as a thing and that is probably why I had not noticed it. But why also had I been apologised to for potentially making me uncomfortable? It is clear that at least at this time there was still a stigma and breastfeeding was likely taking place in non-public settings. As that motion from the Government states, we must therefore celebrate progress where it happens. This afternoon's topic of debate is an opportunity to celebrate and continue to support positive trends that have been seen with breastfeeding rates across Scotland. I think that it is important, like Carol Mawkin, Claire Baker and others that I pay tribute to my former colleague and, indeed, constituency predecessor Elaine Smith for her great work in this area. Breastfeeding is a multifaceted topic that touches on issues such as health and wellbeing, public education and, of course, poverty and inequalities in Scotland today. First and foremost, breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best method of ensuring newborns are nourished, as well as providing the healthiest foundation for a child's short and long-term wellbeing. The NHS currently recommends that babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 26 weeks of their lives. In studies that indicate that breastfeeding helps to reduce a baby's risk of infections, diarrhea, vomiting, obesity and even cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Likewise, for mothers, there is increasing evidence that breastfeeding can lower risk of various diseases. For those reasons, it is self-evident that improving the breastfeeding rates in Scotland would also improve the health of babies and their mothers, which would in turn reduce health inequalities. The data is promising, as others have said, just over 20 years ago, probably around about the time that I just referenced, 44 per cent of babies were being breastfed by 14 days old. That increased to 53 per cent in 2019, and most recent post-pandemic figures now show this rate to be 57 per cent. By six to eight weeks, this figure stands at 47 per cent. While those stats are encouraging, as is the highest figure in record, more can be done to continue this upward trend. I fully support the Scottish Government's decision to invest over £9 million of funding to support breastfeeding since 2018. That funding has helped to provide sustainability for protection, promotion and support for breastfeeding in Scotland. The Scottish Government, though, cannot work in a vacuum, as we have heard today, and relies on the knowledgeable and valued experience of those healthcare practitioners in third sector groups and peer support bodies, who help to identify on-going issues and best practice to increase these rates. Bob Doris. Fulton MacGregor, for giving away. I am just reflecting on my own experiences as a dad of partners in general. I have heard the testimony of Karen Adam and others in the chamber. If partners—there is a partner—need to be educated in the stress, tension, expectations, judgments, stigma and everything else that goes with a new mum that we can never know. If we are an active partner, we very quickly see the consequences of that and perhaps anti-natal classes. I was fortunate, Presiding Officer. I had an NCT and an anti-natal class where myself and my partner attended, with other couples and perhaps a more active role for fathers. Are any partners where appropriate ahead of birth, but in the weeks after birth will be vital in giving the support that mums really deserve in merit? Fulton MacGregor, I will give you the time back. I thank the member for that intervention. I couldn't agree more with him in his, he knows. The cross-party group in Shared Parington often looks at these sort of issues and I know that he's very active in that group in that area as well, so thank you. It is the goal of the Scottish Parliament and indeed I hope across all parties in the chamber and I haven't heard anything today that suggests otherwise that Scotland should be a breastfeeding friendly place for all. Although the trends are positive, the data shows inequalities which must be a point of focus for future supports. Breastfeeding rates are highest amongst older mothers from less deprived areas, therefore we must encourage higher breastfeeding rates for younger mothers from the most deprived areas. At this point I must give particular credit to the infant feeding teams across all the health boards. Their diligent work ensures that mothers are offered help with positioning and attachment with breastfeeding which empowers mothers with the contents to breastfeeding. I think that Stephanie Callhan, for example, has given a very powerful speech today about what that support can mean. A special mention must also be given to those who work with the family nurse partnership whose home visiting programme helps educate first-time young mums on how to improve their child's health and development. It is these schemes that must be supported and invested in as they have been proven to increase breastfeeding rates for the cohorts that need it most. I feel here in Scotland that we must do more to normalised breastfeeding. For example, business owners who sign up to the breastfeeding scheme are making a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of Scotland's families and children as well as making new mothers feel welcome and accepted. The more businesses that sign up to the scheme, the more normalised breastfeeding will become, with any perceived stigma, evaporating over time. At no time, hopefully this continues, should anybody be apologised to for somebody breastfeeding. I have already spoken about how those from more deprived backgrounds have lower reported rates of breastfeeding. This issue is, of course, exasperated by the on-going cost-of-living crisis, which further jeopardises the already-at-risk group. The increase of food prices has a knock-on effect of impacting the diets of those living in more deprived areas. I think that it is only right, as others have done, that in this debate we recognise the shocking cost of formula. I know that food banks and charities, in my constituency of Co-Bridge and Christ, have helped families with this particular cost-of-living. This is something that really needs to change. I am looking off that all three were breastfed for a period of time by the superstar of a mum. She is a superstar not just because of her breastfeeding but just in general. In all different lengths of time, it is right to acknowledge that there is no right amount of time in every child and situation that is different. I want to make mention of what I think is an important point that others have mentioned or touched on. We absolutely must end the stigma around breastfeeding, but we must not go too far the other way. A woman must never feel ashamed or belittled for no breastfeeding. The decisions of her mother and her family are extremely complex. I am at that age where, over the past ten years, I have started a family and so many folk in my social circle have too. Some have decided to breastfeed and some have not. To be frankly honest, it is not my business or MD's business why they have not and both are okay. I am beginning to hear more and more that mothers are feeling guilty for not breastfeeding or not doing it for long enough. That is not on either. I know that the minister will agree and did touch on it. We must always send the message that parents love their child and are doing the best for them at all times. I thank Stephanie Callaghan again as well as Karen Adam made to this point. Supporting and informing yes, but respecting the mother's decision and uniqueness of the situation is also important. We do not want to be here in ten years celebrating 70 or even 90 per cent breastfeeding rates but having to highlight that those not doing so are feeling persecuted in some way or another. In conclusion, continued investment in engagement stakeholders has seen promising increases in the rates of breastfeeding in Scotland. We have more to do and support the mother and the family and investing in our health services is the key to achieving the same. Many have mentioned as well as several policies and initiatives aimed at creating a supportive environment for nursing mothers has helped to make progress. All efforts are a commendable step forward towards a healthier and accepting environment for breastfeeding mothers. They also make up a strong legislative framework to protect these mothers and their infants across a broad range of public spaces and serve to encourage the practice across our country. I also want to take this opportunity to mention the incredible work that health boards and third sector partners are carrying out across the country. In central Scotland we have seen initiatives such as the breastfeeding network fourth valley and breastfeeding groups across NHS Lanarkshire which offer an incredible range of support to mothers and their infants. Several groups run weekly and offer the opportunity for mums and their babies to get advice on breastfeeding and share their concerns with experts and each other. There is no doubt that those are all significant steps towards supporting breastfeeding practices but there is still work to be done, especially to overcome the barriers that remain in place. We cannot talk about breastfeeding without addressing the fact that infant feeding differences are strongly tied to a mother's socio-economic status. Wealth disparities affect how long a mother can continue to breastfeed. Factor such as poverty, food scarcity and income insecurity are all important challenges to breastfeeding. Therefore we must also tackle the social determinants of health alongside the legal protections that have been put in place. Supporting these mothers and acknowledging the barriers that they face is key to addressing the gaps in breastfeeding practices and its uptake across our country. For many returning to work is a time where breastfeeding stops or is supplemented with formula due to practical issues such as shift times, storing breast milk safely or even being able to pump while at work. The practical challenges will be markedly different if you are working in an office environment with supportive colleagues to working in a public facing role or manual role where even wearing a pump may be difficult. As I said previously, we have made great strides in what we want to see and I am sure that there are some phenomenal workplaces who do support women to breastfeed but those practicalities are one of the issues that we need to overcome. I am very pleased that it is the Minister for Public Health leading this debate but there is a lot of work that needs to be done in some of our colleagues' portfolios to ensure that we can make the next strides forward. Mothers, as many others have said, should be supported, not shamed, regardless of how they choose to feed their babies. We must acknowledge that breastfeeding is a personal choice and whilst promoting the benefits of breastfeeding, we must also respect and support those who, for various reasons, cannot breastfeed. Every mother's journey is unique and creating an environment of understanding and acceptance is crucial in dispelling judgment and fostering inclusivity. For some, there are physical, emotional and practical reasons why breastfeeding is just not for them and their baby and we need to ensure that in our pursuit of higher rates of breastfeeding and better experiences of breastfeeding that we don't stigmatise those who can't. We need to make sure that the most important thing is good growth and nutrition for a baby. Even though we have come a long way, several of the barriers to breastfeeding are also rooted in stigma and societal attitudes. Even in spaces where breastfeeding is encouraged, many mothers continue to feel uneasy breastfeeding in public as they fear conflict or judgment from strangers. The fear is not always felt evenly with mothers who are younger, experiencing poverty or are from marginalised communities, often reporting increased surveillance and stigma. This is why several women routinely choose not to breastfeed outside of the home and for those who do, the experience is often uncomfortable. Many times the legal protections for breastfeeding in public are present but are not always widely respected. It is crucial that we empower mothers with the knowledge that they need to make decisions based on their individual circumstances free from judgment. One key aspect of this is the need to dispel myths surrounding breastfeeding as misinformation often contributes to unnecessary anxiety and deters some mothers from choosing to breastfeed. By promoting accurate and accessible information, we can empower women to make decisions that align with their personal circumstances and work towards countering the stigma and changing many of the attitudes that weigh down on mothers. We must also work harder to tackle the socio-economic barriers that make breastfeeding impossible for some. It is important to point out that safe breast milk infant formula prepared correctly with safe water or a combination of both are fine choices for full-term infants. For meaningful interventions that lead to positive outcomes for infants, we need to see support around logistical needs for disadvantaged families as privilege and better health outcomes go hand in hand. The debate around celebrating and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland is an opportunity for us to unite in our efforts to support families and their newborns. We commend the progress that has been made, but we also recognise the need for continued advocacy, education and targeted measures to deal with the socio-economic barriers that burden many mothers across Scotland. By promoting informed decision making, dispelling myths and addressing the stigma surrounding breastfeeding, we can work together to create a society where mothers feel empowered and supported in their choices. However, we must always approach this discussion with empathy and a shared commitment to value and support each family's distinct journey. Thank you, Ms Mackayne. I now call Clare Haughey to be followed by Megan Gallagher around six minutes. Thank you, Presiding Officer, and I refer members to my register of interests in that I hold a bank nurse contract with Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board. Every child should get the best nutritional start in life, and families should be able to make fully informed choices on how they feed their baby. During today's debate, we have understandably been encouraging women to breastfeed, and we have discussed a range of policy initiatives to drive up breastfeeding rates. However, I want to put on record, as some of my colleagues have, that we should be mindful that some women find breastfeeding challenging, or they cannot breastfeed even if they want to. For some women, it is contraindicated to breastfeed due to the medication that is prescribed for a variety of physical and mental illnesses. I know in my own experience of working over a decade in perinatal mental health, some of the most difficult conversations that I have had with mums about choosing medication for their illness or continuing breastfeeding have been really difficult ones, particularly where mums were very depressed and felt that breastfeeding was the only thing that they were doing right. However, no matter how you feed your baby, your midwife and health visitor are there to help parents with lots of good advice, and there is good advice online, including on the parentclub.scot website. That is, of course, in addition to the wealth of support that we have heard about in today's debate, from peer support and volunteers. Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for babies and young children and supports children's health in the short and the longer term. According to the World Health Organization, protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding will save more lives of babies and children than any other single preventative intervention. Globally, exclusively and continued breastfeeding can prevent about 13 per cent of deaths among children under five years old. The strong evidence that breastfeeding reduces children's risk of gut, chest and ear infections and leads to a small but significant improvement in brain development and IQ. Breastfeeding also benefits mothers' health. It lowers the risk of developing breast cancer, particularly if you have your children when you are younger and the longer you breastfeed, the more the risk is reduced. A US study in 2019, which UNICEF cited on its website, found that, compared to never breastfeeding, breastfeeding your baby was associated with a 30 per cent reduction in epithelial ovarian cancer risk. In addition, there is some evidence that breastfeeding may also promote maternal healthy weight and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. As the Minister for Public Health and Women's Health's motion states, breastfeeding rates have risen in the past few years, something to be welcomed. Infant feeding statistics published in November 2023 found that two out of three babies born in Scotland in 2022-23 were breastfed for at least some time after their birth. Over the same time period, 57 per cent of babies were being breastfed at the age of 10 to 14 days. That has increased from 44 per cent in 2022-23. However, in the UK we have some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world, and while many new mums start breastfeeding, some will stop within a few months. That is often because they feel that there is a lack of support, particularly when they want to feed their baby outside of their home, or as mums may deem breastfeeding unnecessary because formula milk is seen as a close second best. There is therefore an understandable desire to increase breastfeeding rates through a number of interventions. Some of them have been mentioned in the debate today, including education, peer support or within the health service itself, and ensuring that there is the availability and quality of breastfeeding support for new mums. Part of ensuring that breastfeeding rates increase involves normalising it in our public spaces and influencing public attitudes to breastfeeding. The Scottish infant feeding survey in 2017 identified that mums understood that they could breastfeed in public areas. However, almost half lacked the confidence in doing so. The Scottish Government launched the breastfeeding friendly Scotland scheme, which is implemented locally by NHS boards, which aims to support families in a number of ways. The scheme helps to provide mums with positive experiences of breastfeeding when out and about, allowing them to feel confident and supported. It raises awareness of the Breastfeeding Scotland Act 2005, which many of my colleagues have referenced in their speeches today, and the Equality Act 2010, which protects mums feeding an infant in public places or establishments that allow children access. It ensures that organisations are aware of their responsibilities under this legislation. According to the online map showing breastfeeding friendly Scotland venues, I am proud to say that around 40 venues are available in my Rutherglen constituency that have signed up to the scheme, including schools, pubs, pharmacies, community and third sector facilities and shops. I was delighted to sign up to the scheme in 2020. Finding a place to feel comfortable breastfeeding your baby can often make parents, particularly new parents, feel anxious, and signing up to the scheme is a small but simple way to support them on their breastfeeding journey. I want to ensure that my constituency office is an inclusive space for all staff, for constituents and for visitors, so it is important that that extends to babies who are being breastfed as well. When I was children's minister, having Scotland's baby box as part of my portfolio was a highlight. In order to support parents with breastfeeding, the baby box contains nursing pads and information on breastfeeding. In 2021, Ipsos Moray undertook an evaluation to assess the impact of the baby box scheme in Scotland on its short and medium term outcomes. The study found that a quarter of parents felt that the box had helped to support breastfeeding, and 21 per cent said that it had informed them about it. Higher numbers of respondents were positive about the inclusion of the leaflet on breastfeeding, with 66 per cent stating that they found it very or fairly useful. A lot of thought and work goes into the items that are included in the baby box. The public health minister could liaise with the children's minister to see if there is scope to further help mum's breastfeed through the contents of the baby box. That is perhaps something that she could mention in her summing up. Positively, increases in breastfeeding over the past 10 years have been greatest among those groups with historically lower rates such as young women and those living in more deprived areas. That could be a sign that interventions are working, but we should not ease up. From the tone of today's debate, it is clear that we all share a commitment in giving children the best possible start in life. We can help to realise that by giving mothers the cross-sectoral support that they require in their early days of parenthood. I do not think that anyone can dispute the health and wellbeing benefits that breastfeeding provides not just for mother but for baby as well. I can also welcome the tone of today's debate because it is right that we celebrate the progress that has been made when it comes to encouraging mothers to breastfeed. There is also that acknowledgement that some mothers experience challenges when it comes to breastfeeding and some mothers cannot breastfeed at all. I think that we have struck the balance right today in terms of making sure that the messaging is clear. I come to the chamber today with two asks for the Scottish Government. One is to carefully consider messaging around stigma. That is stigma for both women who are breastfeeding in public but stigma as it has been pointed out by so many members today for mothers who cannot breastfeed. Of course, the support that mothers are meant to receive after their baby is born. The reason that I am asking those asks of the Government today is because some mothers struggle to breastfeed. That was certainly my experience as a new mother in 2022. I do not think that I will ever forget when I ended my breastfeeding journey how I was crippled with anxiety and I felt isolated. I just felt as though I was not able to provide for my baby. It was an awful time but I think that it is important to share that experience today because I want to be able to give mothers who have struggled a voice. To make sure that they do not feel alone because when it comes to debate surrounding breastfeeding it is all very upbeat and positive. There is that real undertone in terms of mothers who are struggling for very many reasons when they are trying to give the best possible start in life for their baby. If I may just pick up on my own experience because I was so excited to start my own breastfeeding journey. I had spent weeks and months on the run-up to Charlotte's birth and I had read as much information as I could. I had bought equipment and I was so ready to welcome my new addition to my family but it just was not meant to be. The reason that it was not meant to be was because I had a bit of a traumatic experience during the birth of my daughter. It was the fact that I had taken morphine during the birthing progress that Charlotte had been delivered. She was obviously very sleepy because she had absorbed some of the side effects from the medication that I had taken during labour. The latching and the initial breastfeeding was not as natural as it should have been. No-one had really explained that to me at the time going through labour, what the impacts of taking that medication would have been and of course the consequences of that for my baby. Had I had another option and if I would do it again, I would probably reconsider that for that purpose because it really, in my view, gave me a bit of a back start in terms of breastfeeding my own baby. It was not necessarily the labour and the birth of my child that stopped the breastfeeding for me. It was shortly after I was able to bring Charlotte home that there are many visits that you get from midwives and health visitors as well. It was a midwife who weighed Charlotte and had noticed that her weight had gone down. Again, I had not been informed before the birth that that is natural of your breastfeeding. It was the midwife who suggested to me that Charlotte could go on to combination feeding. That was not what I planned. It was not what I wanted for my own baby. It really put me in a position of what I do here. Do I still try in breastfeeding as the plan was or do I go on to this combination feeding as suggested by the midwife? We followed that path and it ended up that Charlotte just wanted to bottle feed. She was not much interested in the breastfeeding anymore. That unfortunately ended my own breastfeeding journey at four months. It certainly was not what I planned and it was not what I wanted. Of course, it was the option that was made available to me at that point in time. I know so many mothers that that has happened to me as well. Another issue that happened throughout my pregnancy and when Charlotte was born was the number of midwives and health visitors that I had encountered being introduced to. That had chopped and changed so many times. I ended up with three midwives and I am currently on my fourth health visitor. That does not allow new mothers to bond, gather that important relationship and be able to information share because you do need to build up that level of trust in order to share information and make sure that they are looking after you and that you are able to give them the best information so that they can help you to support your baby. I think that the overall outlook and this is why it is one of my ask today from the Minister in terms of support that mothers get once they have had their baby is that we look at the resource for midwives and we look at the resource for health visitors because I know that it is rife in Lanarkshire in the area from where I am but I know that that is replicated throughout so many different health boards across Scotland and it really does not give mother and baby the best start because you do not have that bond with someone that you trust. We really need to look at that in terms of the support that mothers receive once their baby is home and that they are now starting their new process as a new mother. That being said, I do not blame the incredible NHS workers because they do so much but, again, being understaffed, overworked, it really does add to the pressures that they face but it does not give you the best start when you are bringing your baby home. I know that I am over time, Presiding Officer, so I will conclude there. If we can, Minister, I think that we really need to listen to mothers, particularly mothers who are struggling to breastfeed but also we need to look at that process, the support that mothers receive as they bring their baby home, make sure that they have access to health visitors, a consistent health visitor, a consistent midwife to make sure that they get the best possible support so that they can provide for their baby. Thank you. Thank you, Ms Gallacher. I now call Emma Harper to be followed by Michael Marra. Ms Harper. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I welcome the opportunity to speak in this debate about the important progress that has been made in Scotland so that we can become a breast-freed and friendly nation. I have enjoyed the contribution so far this afternoon. Like Clare Hockie, I am also a registered nurse but my experience is much less than my colleague Ms Hockie in that my training was general nursing and not really working much in the field of midwifery. This afternoon I am going to focus my remarks on the progress that has been made in Scotland but also some fantastic examples of what is happening across Dumfries and Galloway in my South Scotland region. The Scottish Government is committed to supporting breastfeeding through policy investment and interventions that support breastfeeding without shame or stigma. The Scottish Government has provided additional investment to support breastfeeding, particularly in the days immediately following birth. Over £9 million of additional funding since 2018 has been made available to support breastfeeding friendly principles. Taking a fully rounded approach, inclusive of stakeholders such as healthcare practitioners, third sector and peer support groups is the most effective way to address breastfeeding concerns. Interventions in the health service such as ensuring the availability and quality of breastfeeding support for new mothers continue to be important. Equally wider interventions such as positively influencing public attitudes towards breastfeeding and objectively promoting more appropriate marketing of formula milk and ensuring supportive employment policies that allow women to continue to breastfeed after return to work are also continually required. I welcome the minister's commitment to doing so and to ensuring continued promotion of breastfeeding that that's available. Although the UK Government discontinued UK-wide infant feeding surveys that were carried out every five years from 1975 to 2010, the Scottish Government commissioned their own national maternal and infant feeding survey in 2017. That provides continued insight into the changing environment of breastfeeding, the common challenges faced and the areas impacted the most by them. The survey, along with continued medical research, demonstrates that breastfeeding does provide the best nutrition for babies and young children and supports children's health in the short and longer term. It is worth repeating what Carol Mawkins said at the beginning that current guidelines recommend that babies should receive breast milk for the first six months of life after the introduction of solid foods should continue to breastfeed up to their second birthday or for as long as the mother and baby can wish to do that. I know that it isn't always possible and I welcome Karen Adam's comments and others in the chamber about how the emotionally taxing, the difficult, even failing to feed adequately even though choice may be for women to breastfeed. I recognise and not stigmatise people that cannot for whatever reasons that they choose to take forward and breastfeed their babies. There is strong evidence that breastfeeding does reduce the children's risk of gut, chest and ear infections. That was interesting to read and leads to a small but significant improvement in brain development. As Rachel Hamilton described, she said that breastfeeding we need to remember that it also benefits mothers health as well and we have strong evidence that it reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer and it is worth repeating that as Claire Hawke mentioned as well it can reduce type 2 diabetes and promote maternal healthy weight as well. The benefits of breastfeeding for both the baby and the mother are seen across the world including in high income countries such as Scotland. Improving breastfeeding rates in Scotland will help to improve the health of babies and mothers and reduce inequalities in health. It is welcome that the Scottish Government is committed to making Scotland a breastfeeding friendly place for all and that means focusing interventions to target areas of inequality. Again, it is maybe worth repeating that increases in breastfeeding over the past 10 years have been greatest among those groups with low rates historically and that is young women and those living in most deprived areas. The latest infant feeding statistics show a continued narrowing of the breastfeeding inequalities gap and the additional investment has been both targeted and based on best evidence regarding what works. Scotland's infant feeding teams are pivotal in that effort and the Government will continue to use all means necessary including Scotland's baby box, which has been mentioned by a few to normalise breastfeeding in Scotland. One of the reasons why I was interested in this debate is that I had a staff member in 2016 who was blatantly and outwardly criticised and made to feel really uncomfortable in a cafe in Dumfries while she was breastfeeding and that was like 10 years after the legislation was brought in in 2005. So I then wrote to all the cafes in restaurants across Dumfries and Galloway to ask whether they knew about the breastfeeding friendly scheme or whether they would even participate in it. I received some responses and some of them were indeed positive. NHS Dumfries and Galloway also took forward the launch of a programme or a scheme at Three Gardens in Castle Douglas and the NHS chief executive Jeff Ace at that time launched a programme so that we could widen and raise awareness about the breastfeeding friendly scheme in Dumfries and Galloway. From this debate today I will follow-up again with the businesses across D&G to find out if they still continue to participate in the scheme and whether they are promoting it again. Finally, I asked the minister to continue to do all she can to encourage businesses to become breastfeeding friendly and to encourage mothers to breastfeed. Thank you. I now call Michael Marra to be followed by Rona Mackay, Mr Marra. Recent years I have worked with and on behalf of women in Dundee and Angus on issues including the provision of breast cancer care in NHS Tayside female access to mental health services and waits of many years for treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. All too often issues relating to women's health in Tayside but I believe it across Scotland are sidelined, minimised or just ignored altogether. The population is still treated as a medical anomaly. The mesh scandal is, of course, one of the most tragic and egregious illustrations of this culture and practice. Has this been a considered debate to this afternoon with members keen to see further improvements in what is a very important factor in maternal and child health for women and families across Scotland? There has been some progress on breastfeeding rates in recent years. The number of babies still breastfed at 68 weeks has increased by 3 percentage points between 2019-20 and 22-23. Public health Scotland attributes the majority of those increases to an increase in mixed breast and formula feed-in. Public health Scotland have also observed increases in breastfeeding rates in the past 10 years among groups with historically lower rates at groups that my colleague Claire Baker was keen to highlight including younger women and those living in more deprived areas. There is a little in the debate so far about the barriers that there are both culturally and economically to women from these groups from breastfeeding. It is still less than half of all babies are breastfed at 68 weeks in 22-23. The benefits of breastfeeding for mother and baby have been laid out and they are significant. They reduce infections, diabetes and obesity for the baby and reduce the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer and that in turn leads to economic benefits and studies have shown that when women who breastfeed return to work they are less likely to miss work due to their baby being ill. There does seem to be consensus and welcome consensus on the need to promote the choice of breastfeeding and support mothers and babies throughout. I wish in that vein to recognise the breast buddies, volunteers and Dundee and Angus for the brilliant work that they do given friendly peer support to new mothers at a time when they can be very challenging when a friendly face is required and that some women find themselves isolated perhaps without connections to other family members who would support them in these issues. I would question to the extent to which the Government can in the words of the motion be celebrating and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland in the context of what I see as precarious health visitor services in parts of the country. I was contacted by a constituent Angus earlier this month and informed that his family would not receive a visit from a health visitor for up to one year with the cutback being blamed on staffing pressures. Parents have been told not to expect a visit when their baby is between the ages of three months and 13 to 15 months. It could mean a full calendar year with no input from a health visitor at all. We have heard a lot today about the importance of those health visitor engagements and working with midwives in the home. Angus is, hopefully, a temporary situation in Angus but it leaves service in the area well below the Government's national standard and illustrates how stretched services are. Scottish Government's universal health visiting pathway entitles all families to 11 home visits including eight within the child's first year of life. The Government rightly states that health professionals, particularly health visitors, have a vital role to play in supporting children and families in the first few years of a child's life. Of course, we could ask what we are doing if we are telling families that they are entitled to such a vital service if funding and staffing pressure on the ground mean that we can become a postcode lottery. Families in Angus are already missing out on visits which the Scottish Government's own publication says are intended to observe development to progress of the child, give advice on weaning, share information on local community services and check for signs of depression in the mother. There are other members in this chamber who have done a good job of highlighting some of the issues pertaining to mental health and the importance of that in new mothers and the challenges that all families can face and the risks associated with it. Anecdotally from health visitors in Angus, I've heard that there are staff members who have as many as three times the standard caseload of families in Angus. With the best will in the world, health visitors will struggle to deliver the same high quality service including support and advice on breastfeeding that we are discussing today when they are so overburdened. The context of the cuts that are being made in must also be stated since the pandemic there has been a marked increase in infants with developmental concerns. In 2023 Public Health Scotland reported that the number of children with development concerns was increasing year on year. The Royal College of Speech and Language therapists have reported that there is an increasing number of young children who are struggling with basic language skills. Those cuts to health visits are the last thing that families need. Visits from health visitors can be a lifeline for mothers adapting to the challenges of parenting. They are an opportunity for early detection of any deterioration in the mental health of the mother and depriving families of these visits not only risks the wellbeing of the child but the whole family. There is a concerning trend in NHS Tayside whereby a temporary crisis situation becomes the norm with people across the region being forced to live with services that fall below national expectations. Colleagues are right to highlight the centralisation of services within Dundee and how much more difficult it is for people in peripheral areas to access those services to many hours spent on public transport. I commend other members for making these points. I would appreciate it if the minister in her closing speech can tell us what has been done to deal with the acute staffing pressures for health visitors in Angus to ensure that that does not become the norm. I would welcome any information that the minister can provide about the national picture for health visitor services. I remain concerned that those staffing pressures are not isolated to Angus. Can the minister commit in her closing speech to publish statistics on how many health boards and which health boards are meeting to have full compliance with the guarantee around health visitors and the amount of appointments that families should be receiving? In which health boards across the country are they getting the service to which, as the Government says, they are entitled to? I now call Rona Mackay, who will be the last speaker in the open debate. Ms Mackay. As we have heard during the debate, breastfed babies are getting the best possible start in life and that is what we all strive for in Scotland. I am proud that the Scottish Government has supported and promoted breastfeeding to reduce inequality in rates, while supporting the UNICEF UK baby friendly initiative across neonatal and community settings. There is strong evidence that breastfeeding reduces children's risk of gut, chest and ear infections and leads to a small but significant improvement in brain development, which Michael Marra has just been highlighting. Breastfeeding also benefits mother's health with strong evidence that it reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and some evidence that it may also promote a healthy weight and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. The benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother are seen across the world, including Scotland, but reducing stigma and outdated attitudes towards breastfeeding in public is key. This is 2024 and women must feel comfortable feeding their babies whenever and whenever they need to. Indeed, it is a criminal offence to stop a woman breastfeeding in a public place, something that I feel is often forgotten. Since 2005, if a person deliberately prevents or stops someone from feeding a child under the age of 2 in a public place in Scotland, they are committing a criminal offence. If a mother is asked to move or leave the premises completely, this is also an offence. A child should be fed when required and in the most appropriate place for them without the fear of interruption or criticism. Anyone trying to stop a mother breastfeeding or a child's mother to care her from bottle feeding can be prosecuted and if found guilty ordered to pay a fine. As the motion says, third sector and voluntary peer support remain pivotal to babies being breastfed in the first few weeks of life and beyond, preferably until six months of age. Support is often needed to help and encourage women to breastfeed for a variety of reasons. It is important that help is always in hand for mothers, particularly new mothers. I really want to stress today and I'm so pleased that every speaker has stressed this too. I don't think that women who are unable to breastfeed for whatever reason or who choose not to should be pressurised or guilt shamed. As the minister said, women should be free to choose depending on their individual circumstances and should never think they're not doing the best for their baby if breastfeeding is not for them and there should be no stigma here either. Childbirth is accelerating and exhausting and equal measure. Some women struggle to breastfeed through no fault of their own but they should always be supported to be comfortable with their feeding method. Ensuring supporting employment policies that allow women to continue to breastfeed after returning to work is essential. The National Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland scheme marks a continuation of our commitment to a breastfeeding friendly Scotland for all and builds on the breastfeeding etc. Scotland Act 2005. The BFS is a national scheme that you can sign up to for free backed by the Scottish Government and run by local health boards. Both schemes aim to help businesses and people who breastfeed know their rights and responsibilities and raise awareness of both the acts. Employers should support mums to feel confident about breastfeeding on the premises. If there is a complaint from a customer about a breastfeeding mum, they will inform them that they are signed up on the scheme and advise them about the legislation. Although the UK Government discontinued UK-wide infant feeding surveys that were carried out every five years from 1975 to 2010, the Scottish Government commissioned their own national, maternal and infant feeding survey in 2017. That provides continued insight into the common challenges faced and the areas impacted most by them. Encouragingly, increases in breastfeeding over the past 10 years have been greatest among groups with low rates historically, such as young women and those living in the most deprived areas. The latest infant feeding statistics show a continued narrowing of the breastfeeding inequality gap, and our targeted investment has been based on the best evidence of what works. The family nurse partnership has had a crucial role in supporting teenage parents, many of whom are in the lowest Scottish index of multiple deprivation areas to breastfeed. In order to successfully breastfeed, mothers have to eat and to eat well. Food insecurity also makes it harder to breastfeed with the cost of food impacting what pregnant women and new mothers need. The desperate cost of living is forcing families to make choices that no family should have to make, especially during those core 1,000 days of pregnancy and the first 2 years of life of health and development. The food foundation data shows that 27 per cent of UK households are home to children under the age of 4 who experience food insecurity in January 2023, which is higher than those for households with only school-aged children or no children at all. That cannot continue. In conclusion, I think the key messages of this debate and there have been some terrific contributions across the chamber. Really, as my colleague Karen Adam said, fed is best, but choice must be supported for every mother because we all want the best start in life for our children. Thank you. Thank you, Ms Mackay. I now call on Carol Walken to close on behalf of Scottish Labour. Carol Walken has joined us remotely around seven minutes. Thank you, Presiding Officer. In closing, I again want to start an agreement with the Government today and with all the other parties across the chamber and emphasise that Scottish Labour fully supports initiatives in Scotland to improve breastfeeding rates. I wish I could mention every member, but I do not write quickly enough or perhaps I just can't read my own writing, but thank you to everyone who contributed to this important debate. It was an excellent debate with members having the opportunity to speak and welcome interventions. The contributions were varied and I think this adds to the benefit of debating these issues within the chamber. Can I thank the minister for her contribution and her acknowledgement that Scotland should do better and Scotland must do better if we acknowledge that we really want to improve and challenge ourselves to change the breastfeeding rates in Scotland and improve them. Can I also thank the minister and other members in congratulating mothers, families and communities in their contribution to this change in breastfeeding rates? Very much the change in cultural norms around this, so many members talked about how we have developed and changed within our communities in terms of supporting mothers to feel comfortable breastfeeding. So much more to achieve everyone acknowledges and that is an important point, as I have said. Presiding Officer, it is clear improving breastfeeding rates in Scotland would help to improve the health of babies and of course of mothers and reduce inequalities in health. Many of the members spoke about that today. Today's debate therefore does hold significant importance in health inequalities. We do need to see continued progress in this area and a relentless focus on tackling these concerning inequalities, as was mentioned as I said right across the chamber by members from all the parties. Indeed, Scottish Labour are strongly of the view that closing the gap in inequalities in this area is paramount because breastfeeding plays a big part in improving health over an entire life and every child deserves that opportunity. Emma Harper mentioned or spoke about targeting interventions in this area and I do agree with this. To ensure this, we need Scottish Government to have a laser sharp focus on how we fund, promote and encourage both practice and policy in this area. Again, can I thank Rachel Hamilton for the intervention just reminding us that legislation is only as good as its implementation and how our communities find that it actually works for them. It is impossible to not thank her for the personal nature what I think it was mentioned by the Presiding Officer as a tutorial in her contribution and that led us to helpfully explore why women who tell us they would like to breastfeed and that is a really important point when we are thinking about what we are doing here in the Scottish Parliament. We are trying to set the scene to allow that choice that so many members spoke about. Alex Cole Hamilton's experience perhaps did not quite paint the same picture as Rachel Hamilton's but was an important intervention around the role of father and other family members. Can I also take the opportunity to add that the points on perinatal health are very important. I did not pick them up in my contribution but I do hope that the minister might say a few points on that in her closing remarks. Stephanie Callahan also such a personal contribution explaining the joy of supporting others to meet their goals of breastfeeding and I have met and spoken to so many peer supporters so many members touching on the peer support model to make sure that those are funded and supported to continue. It will be essential that we see the data as was mentioned by the minister on this review. Karen Adams still standing after six children it was so lovely hearing Karen Adams paying tribute to all the parents whatever they choose to do and many members mentioned this point. Claire Baker put this very well in her remarks that every journey is different and it is our job is not to place this on the women rather provide a supportive environment. I think today I have heard this across all the contributions it is for us as legislators to get the environment right to provide that choice. I want to mention the importance of the points the minister raised around marketing practices although I did not have time to raise them in my speech I think are extremely important and I think it would be useful to hear more about how we ensure those tight controls around. Also noted by the minister and others was the very worrying cost of formula milk causing distress to mothers and I know my colleague Monica Lennon has raised this in questions and Claire Baker made very important reference on affordability and the consistent approach in ensuring best start allowances meet the needs of families choosing formula. Tess White raised the important role of midwives and the pressure they are currently under in promoting the profession as a good career option but also retaining the important staff currently in the system having that great expertise and knowledge is so important. We know this is a problem and tonight Scottish Labour will be supporting this amendment. On similar lines I hope the Government will support the Scottish Labour amendments in recognising the pressures on health visitor service. Michael Marra has been approached on this issue and illustrated just how stretched health visiting services are in his area, his own area but we know this is not only in the Angus area. We do not want a postcode lottery as he described. We do not want it to be the norm or to become the normal. Guaranteed health visitors are so important to this subject and so many more as he spoke about. Having spoken to women who have been committed to breastfeeding is that vital support at home that really does make the difference. Of the women I spoke to in preparation for this debate every single one mentioned support within the hospital but an absence once home is such an important issue. If we want to support women to breastfeed certainly to exclusively breastfeed we need to have a long term support in the home and health visitors are vital to this. Scottish Labour will be supporting the Government motion and I hope that this encourages us all to work together to further improve the breastfeeding rates for all those mothers and babies who wish to do so. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Thank you, Ms Mocken. I now call on Sanjosh Gohani to close on behalf of the Scottish Conservatives around 8 minutes. Please, Dr Gohani. Thank you and I wish to draw members' attention to my register of interest. I'm a practicing NHS GP and relevant to this debate as a father of two. Two thirds of Scotland's 48,000 newborn babies each year start life by being breastfed. By the time of the mother and child six to eight week review almost half are still being breastfed. Of course breastfeeding rates vary across our population. It is much more common among older mothers and those from less deprived areas. While just 38% of white Scottish babies are being breastfed by the time they are two months old. Meghan Gallagher gave us her very personal story and reminds us that some mothers and babies cannot breastfeed or it is incredibly difficult. Some mothers may be on powerful medications for cancer, heart or kidney disease breastfeeding may not be the healthy option. Others have hyperplasia of the breast use sufficient milk. We should also consider that up to a third of breastfeeding mothers develop mastitis and we should be aware that 10 to 20% of mothers suffer with their mental health during pregnancy or the year after the perinatal period. We're talking depression anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder post traumatic stress disorder postpartum psychosis which does impact up to two in every 1,000 mothers who give birth and I'd like to take a moment to talk about maternal mental health. Many mums who are pregnant are taking medications such as sertuline to help with their mental health and so many mums stop their medication due to a worry it will affect their baby. Can I appeal to everyone watching to please speak to their GP first because I see the devastation that deterioration of maternal mental health has which is far more detrimental. Mental health struggles can also seriously impact breastfeeding. We must avoid making mothers feel guilty because they can't breastfeed or choose not to. Another condition that's not well understood is gastroesophageal reflux around 7% of babies experience severe reflux whether they are breastfed or formula fed and reflux usually happens because the baby's esophagus the food pipe has not developed so milk can come back up easily through the sphincter. The esophagus develops as they get older and the reflux usually stops but when they're little reflux causes sickness a lot of discomfort and some babies do not gain weight they squirm during feeding some vomit they're uncomfortable after feeding there's huge distress to parents and goes undiagnosed so the message is while we favour breastfeeding mothers who formula feed are not harming their children as Karen Adams also stated we should make no mothers feel stigmatised a loved and cared for baby will thrive Bob Doris If we're given weight just reflecting on your comments there would you agree with me the most important thing is that mum and baby are happy and healthy and yes breastfeeding might be the most appropriate pathway but given the mental health vulnerabilities of some families happy and healthy and well fed first and breastfeeding is a bonus but it's that happy and healthy of the heart of everything I absolutely would agree and that is the most important thing that we have a happy healthy baby remember you can breastfeed but do it express it and put it in a bottle that's okay as well there is no wrong way as long as your baby is happy and healthy Tess White spoke of how the first feeds are helped by our midwives but they are being increasingly called away from this essential time supporting infant feeding to cover acute care health visitors are also essential to not just breastfeeding but general health and well being of mums and babies visitors are becoming increasingly rare as cash strap councils are choosing not to replace retiring health visitors leaving mums and babies in Scotland to suffer and Tess White went on to prove this in Angus where some will not be seen for a year and whilst I am unable to breastfeed skin to skin contact with my newborn promotes a dad's bond as did bottle feeding and apparently changing their nappies Carol Mocken a Rachel Hamilton both spoke of wonderful legislation to feeding children under 2 and I would challenge the minister in this debate to give us reassurance that she will look to promote this Stephanie Callaghan is right when she says that breast milk contains magical properties that Alex Cole Hamilton went on to describe and the benefits of breastfeeding to mums, babies and the family budget and this is important as Rachel Hamilton told us positivity can quickly lead to frustration and upset as it's not always straightforward and the support of health visitors keeps mums breastfeeding and we know how difficult it is to find a health visitor to Rachel Hamilton as a doctor I would say cold cabbage leaves have a place as does cream and antibiotic so perhaps it's for others to speak to their doctor before their grocers while we should encourage and support breastfeeding we should not stigmatise mothers who cannot for health reasons or even societal reasons do so the Scottish Government must address the huge pressures upon our midwifery and health visitor services we are losing skilled midwifery staff because many are worried they cannot deliver the required quality of care recruitment and retention workforce planning require urgent attention if we are to foster support and an environment for breastfeeding midwives and health visitors play a pivotal role in educating and assisting new mothers promoting successful breastfeeding practices and supporting mothers who face breastfeeding challenges I too would like to thank members for their contributions on this important debate and the tone and I think one of the key things we've talked a lot about promoting and telling stories and I really appreciate the stories that we've heard from right across the chamber and I'm sure mothers, new mothers will appreciate that as well so thank you both for that thank you both for sharing and everyone else that did as I said in my opening improving the health of all babies and young children is one of the driving forces for my on-going commitment to support breastfeeding we must continue to build on the good progress in Scotland so far and continue to reduce early inequalities that harm generations and as Alec Cole-Hamilton said support not pressure if I can turn to the two amendments I was at Tess White's amendment which we will be accepting I think it's important to note that we hugely value our midwifery workforce and the high quality care they offer across Scotland health visiting remains a universal service and teams across Scotland work hard to deliver this entitlement latest published data shows the vast majority of eligible children are receiving health visitor contacts between 10 days and 5 years of age and we continue to work closely with health boards to monitor the delivery of the universal health visiting pathway and to best ensure young families get the support they need if I may turn to the points that Michael Marra made Scottish Government officials are meeting with health boards the Tayside meeting is in early March and we're also meeting with all Scottish executive nurse directors to discuss outcomes from the evaluation of the pathway and I'd like to thank Michael Marra for raising and sharing his constituents experience which my officials have noted Child health reviews are routinely published in national statistics we do not publish all visits that's held at the board level monitoring was done during Covid to prioritise early visits to health reviews as I have said we continue to work with boards I'd like to touch on Carol Mockins amendment and I'm sorry that we can't support that however I do recognise her nudge there was a lot of discussion about peer support for infant feeding I would be keen to understand the thinking as to why the Government couldn't support the amendment in Carol Mockins name on behalf of the Labour Party surely this is a pathway that is supported it's in your own policy we're looking to have those statistics published it would be great if the minister could provide those to members and put those statistics in spice but if this is something the SNP said that they are committed to why can't he then say guarantee that this can be something that people can expect as a right across Scotland Minister I thank Michael Marra for his intervention there I'm clear that the Scottish Government has invested £40 million to recruit additional 500 health visitors and following this investment their numbers have remained largely stable but we continue to work as I've said closely with health boards to monitor the delivery of the universal healthways visiting pathway to best ensure young families get the support they need I'd just like to make progress there was a lot of discussion around peer support I think that that is absolutely essential and as part of our quality improvement programme an additional investment of over £9 million over five years we've provided over £1.6 million to third sector peer support charities to increase research and deliver on the national breastfeeding helpline I understand that breastbuddies programme in Angus received funding in the last year and this is driving increases in that area so that shows the importance of that third sector peer support Rachael Hamilton referenced breastfeeding in the borders and again I would like to thank them for the work that they are doing we also contribute funding towards the national breastfeeding helpline which provides support via phones and closed social media groups we there is a lot of publicity as well of on breastfeeding legislation and that's included in ready steady baby and on parent club and joining instructions for that or email information is found in the baby box and also to celebrate the breastfeeding act's 10 year anniversary we had a breastfeeding week and perhaps there's an opportunity to do one in 2025 or on its 21st anniversary in 26 and nine years ago we agreed not to sunset the legislation this last summer I attended a breastfeeding picnic outside Parliament and there was great publicity from that not to mention the knitted breastfeeding boob that I have in my office and as MSPs we should really sign up as Claire Hawhey suggested to being breast friendly workplaces in our constituency offices and if I may also just mention Inverclyde where a mural on a gable end became a talking point in the community it was a breastfeeding mermaid so there is a lot of publicity happening I was very pleased that Claire Hawhey and also my colleague Marie Todd were so involved in an instrumental in the baby box and Claire Hawhey clearly outlined everything that is content everything that is in it referencing Stephanie Callahan's question and I'm very happy to work with my colleague Natalie Dawn discussing what we can do about the current contents I'd like to too touch on Alec Cole Hamilton's point about recognising the role of partners and fathers we worked with fathers the fathers network Scotland to put content for dads on parent club and we did a social media campaign on the role of partners which was promoted and accessed widely I think that's a very key thing to talk about Claire Baker touched on the costs around yes of course Alec Cole Hamilton I'm very grateful for her picking up my remarks about the role of partners and fathers when we were expecting our first child and we were attending national childbirth trust classes there was an entire class dedicated to just the dads on how to support partners who are having difficulties securing a latch with their baby against the nipple and indeed supporting them through difficulties around breastfeeding is there a way the government could help expand that kind of intervention to other groups Minister I thank Mr Cole Hamilton for his intervention and would suggest that a lot of work being done in this area and also the leaflets off to a good start and various other ones support that and it's something like yesterday when I met two midwives within Argyll and Bute that they talked about as well I want to restate that all infant formula is nutritionally equivalent and price is not an indicator of quality and I agree with Claire Baker's point that the reductions are very welcome pity they didn't happen sooner but I think further reductions are needed perhaps including consideration of a price cap formula is a vital product in the first year of life profits should not be cut over health I think both Gillian Mackay and Claire Baker talked about the social determinants of health and Rona Mackay and various others talked about the best start foods and payments that the Scottish Government has introduced and I think we should recognise that best start foods provides a weekly payment that is more generous than the rest of the UK and we will increase best start foods to a minimum of £5.30 a week from April 1 subject parliamentary approval Gillian Mackay I thank the minister for taking the intervention in my speech I mentioned that many of the factors to improve best speeding rates outside of her portfolio I wonder if she would take into conversations with other ministers and cabinet secretaries the need for them to look at how workplaces and others enhance their support for breastfeeding minister I thank Gillian Mackay for reminding me that I think I suffer from Carol Mockins they are not writing everything down quickly enough but yes very welcome to speak to colleagues about this I think basically quoting Fulton McGregor we cannot act in a vacuum we must learn from women who have felt unsupported or unheard and share that across sectors including maternity, neonatal and in the community failing to learn can impact on mothers mental health and confidence to breastfeed in the future and as Karen Adam said each individual breastfeeding journey is different and flexibility and support is tailored to need is so important clinical and support staff receive training on the baby friendly standards both during periods of formal education and in practice we must make sure that this is of the highest quality as embedded in holistic care the UNCRC will afford us more recognition across sectors that the needs of babies and young children must be fully considered in all that we do this includes receiving adequate nutrition and supporting their parents to provide this just to finish I recognise that even where a mum wants to breastfeed her baby that is not always easy especially in the early days and without the right support it can be hard to meet individual breastfeeding goals we have some excellent support across Scotland which I've already highlighted as have others in this debate this includes our parent club website local infant feeding teams the national helpline specialist and peer support we need to listen to mums and new parents to learn how to continuously improve their offers to better meet their needs I want every new mum in Scotland to feel that they have a real choice in how they feed their baby and I want breastfeeding to be that easiest choice I'm delighted to have had this opportunity to commit this motion and also hear from across the chamber people's thoughts and views thanks that concludes the debate on celebrating and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland and it is now time to move on to the next item of business I am minded to accept a motion without notice under rule 11.2.4 of standing orders that decision time be brought forward to now I would invite the minister for parliamentary business to move the motion thank you the question is that decision time be brought forward to now are we all agreed thank you we are agreed there are in fact three questions to be put as a result of today's business the first question is that amendment 11935.2 in the name of Tess White which seeks to amend motion 11935 in the name of Jenny Minto on celebrating and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland be agreed are we all agreed are we all agreed the Parliament is agreed and therefore the amendment is agreed the next question to be put I'm sorry Mr Fraser is there some thank you the next question is that amendment 11935.1 in the name of Carol Mochan which seeks to amend motion 11935 in the name of Jenny Minto on celebrating and supporting breastfeeding in Scotland be agreed are we all agreed the Parliament is not agreed and therefore we will move to a vote there will be a short suspension to allow members to access the digital voting system thank you

All right, welcome. This is how to confidently migrate from a classic theme to a block theme. Let's take this away. Hi, I'm Sarah Snow. I'm your host today. I'm a Florida resident by weekday traveler by weekend. I'm a former middle school teacher so you will see that come out in kind of the bubbliness of how I do things here. I'm a parrot and a sharp hey mom so you will hear tweeting you will hear barking at some point. Yeah, just so you know I love cooking I love learning languages I love the ocean. And I am a training team contributor slash math scientist sponsored by automatic. Here we go. So, just to set the norms. As I said earlier this meeting will be recorded and available on learn.wordpress.org. So please know the safe, the space is safe for discussion. Add your thoughts, ask questions whether out loud or using the chat box. And also. So if you know the answer or even an answer or you think you might know the answer to a question, feel free to share that in the chat box for sure. We are all learning together today which means me to Catherine taught me a couple of things this morning. Catherine is my wonderful co host who keeps this running smoothly. Always stay patient curious hiccups happen and we will work through them together today I made my live blog go horribly wrong so I have since fixed it. We will talk about how to do that if things go horribly wrong as well. So, let's learn. So, let's talk about if you're in the right place this workshop is right for you if you're familiar with the difference between classic and block themes. If you've never been to the site editor before, or if you've switched themes before even from classic theme to classic theme. That's totally fine. If this doesn't describe you and you're like what is the site editor I've never actually played with the block theme like you are still welcome here. Do know that we have additional resources that we can provide if you are brand new to block themes. This workshop may move a little fast and real time for you, but you can review this later and we can definitely provide resource if you if you're like whoa where do I click what do I do what are you even doing. So do keep that in mind. So by the end of this workshop you are going to be able to make a plan to migrate from a classic to a block theme. You'll be able to anticipate some challenges you'll probably see me working through some of those challenges. So you're going to be on your existing website when switching between themes, and you're going to learn a couple of popular resources to help you design quickly. So let's get started I just like to get a sense of where we are here. I'm just because then I know how fast I can go or how slow I should go so how familiar are you with block themes one is hey I've never done this before ever. So I have experimented a little maybe a lot with block themes, three, one or more of my live websites as a block theme for I use block themes and plugins together, which case who you're a step above me I would say I am at a three. And if you design or build block themes for fun or for work like welcome please share your brilliance. I can't wait. See a lot of threes here perfect some five some to awesome. Alright, okay so a little bit more of an advanced audience today cool alright. And if any point you're like whoa like how do I do that thing if you ask a question in the chat, we can provide some resources on learn WordPress for you. So let's start what is the block theme super fast review block themes are themes that use the site editor formerly known as the full site editor. And these themes give users a lot more control over how a theme looks and feels without using code. So if you've used WordPress a lot in the past, you might know that you need some like additional CSS coding things like that to like, make your logo go from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen and full site editing is a couple clicks of a button. So yeah that's really exciting. So I'm just I'm curious what interests you about switching to a block theme answer in the chat box there are no wrong answers here. Personally, I really just want a little bit more control over the look and feel of my website now, if you saw my thing earlier you can see I'm not a designer I'm really bad at it so we're going to add a couple more resources in today. But my current classic theme displays in one way and one way only for the most part. So I would like to do something a little different. I see people are saying, I see some people saying that they find that the site editor easier to use. Awesome. Oh, we're moving in the right direction I love that. We want more control over your site yes. See the person wants to get rid of themes out there they're almost slow okay so you want to speed up your site maybe full site editing can help with that. They are really excited about block themes they definitely want to be able to do a little bit more. So that's really good incentive to learn how to do this. Some people are saying that block themes are the future of WordPress because they give more control yeah. Let's see lighten up the site save blocks to use over and over. I love that work smarter not harder. Let's see you have more flexibility, more mobile responsiveness is a really interesting idea. Oh, I love that. So you have tons of templates at your fingertips here and we're going to use some of those today. Awesome. Why do people switch themes just in general. That's that's my next question for you it's not just block themes but like why would a client want to switch from theme to theme. Why have you wanted to switch from themes in the past like what, what are your thoughts so for mine, we're going to be working on a live website of mine. I love which I love, but the reason that I want to switch is just because as much as I love this, this page. I'm finding it now it's a little overwhelming I want more control over my front page like I like a lot of what is on this, but I want to update it so that my front page has different sections, and in a way that gives me more control. So what are some reasons that people switch, not just to block themes with just theming in general. Why do people switch themes. Let's see to rebrand. Yes, I get bored with my theme like all the time. Clients like to rebrand to keep things looking modern. Some classic themes may no longer be supported. So as as themes change as people, you know, move in and out of the WordPress space, they may no longer support classic themes so you definitely want to stay current with all of the cool new features that you know, WordPress offers since it's always changing always evolving always keeping up with tech. So like a good example of that would be mobile themes right so once upon a time 2008. A theme from 2008 that is no longer supported no longer updated probably isn't going to look super great like on a tablet or on a cell phone. So staying current with technology is huge and staying current with trends yeah. A lot of people say the old way is going away I don't know that classic themes will ever fully go away. There are there's a lot to be said about how quickly you can get started the simplicity of it all. And just just no way that hey, I just have to focus on my posts my pages my media that can be really attractive and appealing for sure. So yeah we definitely want to stay current. A good point it helps with security to have a theme that updates fun fact about block themes. Because they use so little is PHP coding they tend to be a lot more secure right out of the box. So that makes it a lot easier to design them that makes it a lot easier to use them and have a lot of confidence there so that's a great answer. Awesome. Let's keep going. So when you change a theme, what content stays. So if I'm looking at my birdie blog here if I change my theme, what's going to stay what's going to go. So this is currently on wordpress.com, we're going to be using a different editor today, but just to orient you a little bit anything that I've ever written in posts will stay if I switch things. And any images that I use will absolutely stay as well. Any pages that I have written stay any comments, just the way that posts media pages comments all of that displays. That's what changes. So that's one thing to keep in mind. I'm going to switch. And Catherine if you can remind me when I go to the site editor to talk about this again that would be awesome because this is a very important point that I want to make about not writing content in the site editor because that's how you lose content. So, your posts stay your pages stay your media files. The idea of changing themes is really about the look, the feel of your site. Someone asked a meet up as a question like hey what's one question you have like what what if all of my posts are written using the classic editor that content stays as well. But you may need to install a plugin for this so the plugin that I use that allows me to access that is the jetpack plugin but you can also just use the what is it the classic block editor I think I like to get at you. Let's try this again. So if you have a lot of content you haven't built it with blocks you're really you know the site is as old as mine as my site was started in 2015 so yeah I use the classic editor a lot. This enables you to keep that classic editor and use it just as a simple block. I don't know what I believe so if I'm I could be wrong. Okay I just want to clarify what what activating that plugin actually does is it disables the block editor entirely. Oh don't do that then. I wouldn't do that with it with the block theme because you'll be okay let me go to one of my. Let me go to one of my old ones. Just view. If a post is written in the classic editor before yeah it'll just automatically get the classic block. And if you click on the that bar that little gray bar, you can even convert it to blocks right there if you want to use blocks on one basis. Yes, someone was just concerned like what would happen to it it doesn't convert unless you do that okay. For some reason I thought you might need to install a plugin for that I guess I'm wrong that's just built in. That's why the people developing WordPress are smarter than I am I love it. So I can convert this to blocks if I want you can see what this looks like there. It's pretty close but now as you can see it's using blocks instead of that classic editor. So that is really just good to know all right we're going to go back really this I'm not going to update that right now. So let's continue. So with this I had to write out my plan because as I updated this for the second thing of this today I realized I was kind of getting caught in the weeds again myself so I decided to make a plan and I recommend this for everybody. So you want to decide do you want to try and emulate the look and feel of an old theme. Do you want to update entirely. So for me, in order to keep it relatively simple we'll we'll see. I'll switch to a block theme but keep a similar look and feel but with added functionality so that my front page isn't just blog post blog post blog post blog post like I want to make sure that I have a little bit more control of that. I'm also going to keep it simple. I have a tendency to try and recreate the wheel. Other designers are much better at it than I am so I'm going to use some patterns today rather than building something from the ground up. And I am going to be using. What is it a new host so you may have noticed. I was. I was over here WordPress.com that was my original host. Today I have migrated most of my themes and said I'm using a new host so you can see birdie blogged up my staging website.com this is a test sandbox that I have set up. Yeah, we'll get there in just a quick second. So, once it's done I'm going to just switch over from WordPress.com to pressable that you can use any WordPress host you would like you can use blue host or go daddy or site ground or WP engine whatever one works for you. You may be tempted to update your live site. I'm going to go right there on your current host if you don't have another test sandbox the way that I do. So if you choose to do that. That is not what I recommend but you can what is the very first thing that you should do before making any enormous changes to your website. And as far as the custom fields question goes I'm going to save that for the end. Yes, everyone is paying backup backup one person suggested a way of handling that but backing up is the way to go. So my original plan for this had been to use a backup plugin so give it WP backups all in one jetpack, and I was going to make a copy of my website and migrate it to a local installation or pressable. And I was going to move that over so that I had a separate place entirely, and I was going to show you the absolute safest way to move to a block theme and this, this is what I advocate for doing is making a copy of your website, moving it somewhere else, and then making the changes there. Because what I was doing was editing birdie blog live over here and it was not pretty and did not go well so. The reason that I bring this up is because it's really important to see that this is not there's not one way to do this and that it's normal to even if you are very familiar with block themes even if you know you teach the stuff for a living or for fun. There are times when things don't go exactly according to plan and that's okay. So just knowing that hey I've got a solid backup I can completely change my website back to the way it looked originally. That's an a plus thing. Step one, always make a backup, maybe make a copy. Let's see. So my new plan, as I said, I'm going to use the second sandbox site today I'm using pressable because it allows me to have multiple different websites under one account which is really really handy. I'm going to leave my live website untouched so every single thing you see me doing isn't going to show up on birdie blog until I'm ready, and when I am ready when I have made that. I am then going to point birdie blog my domain name to the new site when I'm finished tinkering. So that is one way to make sure with utter confidence that your website is 100% ready to go before you make that change. So now we have two step twos. The next thing that we're going to do once I've made my copy is we are going to structure our site and we're going to do that in our site editor so I'm going to start by creating a header template part a footer template part I'm going to skip the sidebar for today, and I'm going to quickly make some templates so I'm going to make my index template my single one for my post page. I'm going to put the pages pages and then one, maybe for categories I think I might skip that step for today, just for the sake of time. So, should put these in a different order. So I'm going to go over here to my sandbox dashboard over here. And I'm going to show you what that looks like to start. So you can see, I have recreated this website. It's not exactly the same. So my content did not move over again, totally normal to have a couple of things maybe not transfer which is why we're not doing it on the live site. But you can really get a sense of what this website looks like using that theme. So now my job is going to be to switch to a block theme. And you're going to see what that looks like what it does to everything to the look and feel of it. I think I'm going to use 2023 today just because my goal is to try and give it the same look and feel. If you wanted to add a block theme if you were trying to do something brand new, if you click on add new there's a new block themes button here which is super helpful. You can definitely scan to look for something that appeals to you something new something pretty. I was very, very tempted to use one that had like a bird on it. I don't know if it's in this list right now. But yeah, there was this one super pretty, but because I don't know it as well I'm going to stick to the general 2023 theme. So I've already added that to my themes here so I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to activate it and it's going to move from a classic to a block theme. It's active. Let's see what this looks like now. All right, this looks quite a bit different. This looks quite a bit different here so you'll see that my live website here hasn't changed because I'm playing in a sandbox. So I'm now going to head to my site editor so I can either press this edit site button. Or I can go to my dashboard and click on editor from appearance here. And that's going to take me to my templates haha. So I always recommend framing your website for second and third. I like to put the top and like I like to put that on and the shoes on and then do everything else so that's what we're going to do today. So I'm going to start by heading to my template parts. Looks like there is already a header and a footer comments post meta. My header currently looks like this which looks absolutely nothing like my birdie dot blog header. Now, earlier today I was like I'm going to try and emulate this and let me tell you that took a long time and did not go as well as I hope so instead of we're going to use a pattern. A little little bit of a cheat code here to use the brainpower the open source you are welcome to use brainpower of other designers. So if you had to WordPress.org and then go to this patterns. There are hundreds of patterns that have been created for you to use on that can get you up and running really really quickly. So I can search for header patterns and look for something of these 50 patterns that exist that closely emulates this right here this this birdie dot blog one right. So I did a little bit of pre thinking, you'll notice there's a heart button for some of these here. If I press that button, that's going to save this provided that I'm logged into my WordPress.org account. And now if I head to favorites. All of my favorite patterns that I have saved with that heart button up here right there. So, um, as far as headers go. I think, let's see which one did I like. This one is speaking to me. So is this one I think I like this one a little bit better. But there's a couple of things I want to do here so what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy this I'm going to make two. I'm going to make two separate headers. Just because I really like this big header but I don't necessarily want it on every single poster page that I create right like I would like something a little different. I would like the header to look more like this so you're going to watch me just kind of do that real quick so what I'm going to do, I'm in my header template part, which you can tell because it says this right up here. I am going to take this group, and I'm going to remove it. It's a little scary right. But now, where did that go. I'm going to copy again I can't remember if it's in my clipboard. I'm going to press control B. And now I have a header and it is already responsive so you can see how that changed here. Now there's some extra stuff in here that I can also just kind of remove if I don't want it. So let's see which group is that I definitely want that. I'm using this tool right here this list view. It's your best friend definitely don't want any of this right now so I'm going to remove this because this is just top of my site. And then at the bottom looks like there's a little bit of spacing there. Don't really want that I'm going to remove that as well. But I think I just want just for my header the header that I want to appear on every page my homepage, my whatever else page, I am going to remove this one. I'm going to go first. And then I'm going to remove that group. And so from here, it looks like they left a space for a logo, I think I'm going to change that to a site title so if I can just about that. Kind of find the transform button here. It really doesn't want me to can I change it here. I'm going to remove this heading. Looks like that box is still there. I'm going to press this button here. And I'm going to look for my site title here. There it is now. I'm just going to save this I'm going to mess with the colors at the end of all this I highly recommend when you're switching from a classic to a block theme and you're rebuilding it to save the making it pretty for the very end, just get that structure. I'm just double checking let's see if the patterns been vetted have they been reviewed like what we refuse the theme so Catherine answer that question yes the patterns that you see over here on these have all been submitted by contributors they have all been approved they have all been reviewed. I just, I want to point out one, one other cool thing which is that the same pattern directory is available within the editor itself. If you go to browse all the plus at the top left. You know the inserting here. Oh, so they're right there. Explore. Yeah. Fascinating. So there's different ways to get it. Yeah. That's cool. That's really cool. Okay. I'm just doing that again. It's doing the thing. I just purchased a new mouse because it keeps doing this stuff to me. All right, let me see if I can fix this. No, it's not gonna. All right, so I am now going to head to my dashboard. So I'm going to do a little bit of template part inception. So there's one header here that should appear on every template that I use just to get it a little bit closer. I'm going to do header. What's going on when you see it get big like that is that I have a magic mouse and my finger slips and sometimes makes it big and I can never quite figure out how to make it solve like I should really work on that but if I head back into it. There we go. Now you can see that header now exists on my front page. So header, large because on my home page I want something slightly different. And there are many ways that you can do this but this is going to be a header template. So one thing that's kind of cool about block themes you can add a header inside of a header so I can choose my existing template part and insert that and start after. Let's see if it's still copied. Oh, it is. I now have that big image here. I'm going to remove this text for right now. Move paragraph. Definitely don't need these buttons here. I'm going to remove buttons and this is a good opportunity to talk about content. So I'm in the site editor right now. It can be really tempting to do things like write my tagline here right so what you need to know about parent ownership. However, if I switch to another theme classic or block. If I just use a paragraph block here, this content anything that I write in the site editor will not transfer over. And that's something that's really important to know about block themes. It's important to try and use. What are they called theme blocks as much as possible so I'm going to write and start after he runs after. This is not as accessible as I wish that it was so I am just going to add a quick filter maybe. So I'm just trying to make it so that everybody can see it. That's very important to me. There we go. Okay. So I'm going to change this picture to a picture of a parrot. But first what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a theme block so I can do that by clicking my site tagline. I'm just going to make it white so everybody can see it and now you can see what you actually need to know about living with parents. Now if I change my theme. I'm not going to be able to that that will move so if another theme does have an already pre programmed tagline in there I'm not going to lose my content there. So I'm just going to center this I'm going to save it and I'm not going to worry about how it looks yet. I'm going to double check in the chat to see where we're how we are where we're doing. Let's see here. I have a question about the premise that the block editor is with a wig what you see is what you get and should match the front end and yeah that's the idea so you asked what if I don't want that I'm not quite sure oh a use case. A list of available colors for a product in a checkbox in the editor. And an unordered list on the front end. I think that would probably be something you would need a plug in for I don't know that that's. Right now there's no forms that I can think of in the editor. And the, I think the point of this the site editor is to give people a better idea of what the things going to look like in the front end one of the biggest complaints of people with in the past has been that you know you're in a completely separate looking space and when you look at your you know you have to preview it look at it in another window or tab and that's something the site editors designed to try and solve and I'm not quite sure about your use case but. Yeah, I think for that use case you probably want to plug in if it exists to do something like that, but let's see what this looks like now on the front end so if I go. I haven't actually changed that. I didn't actually change the main time but still using my old header. So for this template I decide that I want to. Let's try that. I decide that I want to use a different header because right now it's just using the standard page header, I'm going to remove this header oh insert before. And now I am going to pull this header large that I just created. I just changed this image pretty quickly here. And now we can see it on my sample website. So yeah it's very much what you see is what you get so this is getting a little bit closer to what we wanted. I, one thing that Catherine had mentioned earlier was that on my normal website again it hasn't changed was that we've got this sticky header up here yeah she want me to try and make it stick to the top like that. Why not live dangerously let's see. I didn't have the opportunity to test that so what I what I want to do here is I want to head to this template part. And I want I'm going to just edit this header because because I put this header in here this is that template part we have a header template part inside of another header template part. Any change that I make here will also be applied to that header of large that I made. So, according to captain's directions we need it in a group it's already in a group. I'm going to click it. And then do I have the option. So on the right, scroll down in that panel. And do you have Gutenberg 15.1 point one active. Okay, so this is a feature that's going to come out in the next version of good or in the current version of Gutenberg and it'll be in 6.2 so if you want to use it, you do you will need to activate it. It's more of a something coming up. It's a really good point that you make just because something isn't necessarily possible in the current version of WordPress doesn't mean they're not working to make that possible. There's been a lot of requests for sticky sticky headers sticky nav. So, yes. All right so now I'm just going to do the same thing my footer I'm just going to remove it that's super simple. What do I currently have. Let's take a look. It looks like I have updates tags and maybe a translate button I think I would need different plug in for that but let's see. Am I able to access what I saved in here. I don't think so. Okay so that might be a reason to use this WordPress that org slash patterns here I don't think that it automatically translate this is my WordPress that org account. This is my pressable account so I don't know that to are necessarily linked. So let's see what I saved here. These are my favorites. I'm just going to copy this one for right now. And again we're going to edit it at the end. For right now we're going to save this and this is something that I think is interesting with possible that I've noticed is that it didn't get any bigger when I did this so that might be a host thing I did not ever I've never had this problem with local before. So that might be a bug that I need to report but I'm going to refresh it. This is my workaround okay boom I even have a bird footer now. And now if I look at my templates. You can see my homepage here. This is my homepage though is it. Oh I think one thing to know is that some of your templates may have different things so for example right now my homepage is what I think is currently displaying on the front so you can see that got added down here. So I'm going to use some patterns to kind of set up the structure of my site I'm going to do this really fast it is 534 I want to get to the ideas about like adding color and making it pretty and things like that. But now I'm going to take this main group here in between my header and my footer. Move it done done done. Insert this after just really quick. And I'm going to head back to my favorite patterns here. So one of the things that I struggled with was I wasn't quite sure how to get this like image on the right stuff on the left so somebody else may have been able to do that I thought that I saved one of those. But I guess that I did not so I'm going to go over here to posts, which is need to go all patterns let's look at posts here. We're going to just grab a query loop I'm just going to see if I can find something that is similar to that for now. Let's see one though. Okay, all let me look for query loops so the way that your your poster describe the way that your poster displayed are through query loops with the site editor so I spelled it wrong. There's space there. Oh come now. I knew that there was block pattern for this what. Okay. So that's what I'm going to get for not clicking the favor button. So I can definitely look through this to find things that I'd like. So what one concern with this is just that I might grab something that isn't actually using the query loops. Like this to me this effective solutions looks like it might be text rather than photo gallery. Let me try one more thing I found one earlier y'all. Okay, good plans. Let's happen sometimes. Okay, we're getting there getting closer. All right, I am going to grab. Let's try just the word posts maybe. See what happens. There we go. There we go. Beautiful. Okay, so here's one that is really close to that right it's a lot smaller it's a little bit less overwhelming. So I may just I may pick this one to kind of get a similar look and feel here. I'm just to kind of show you how this will go. So now here we are my paragraph I copied it. I pasted it. Beautiful let me double check and make sure that that is a query loop by using my list view here I see some columns columns. Oh no it's media and texts. So this would be a way to do this in a way where I had fixed ones that this I need a query loop here. So I'm going to speed ahead a little bit just because again it does take time to move things over. So the other thing I can do is insert after I am just going to search for a very loop. And for right now just for the sake of showing you this because I don't want this to be an instruction on just how to use the site editor. I'm going to just choose a new query loop. New option here. I'm going to save this for now. I put this in two columns I might be able to do that that might be interesting. Okay. But I do like the way that we have the image on the left text on the right so I'm going to save this for now. And you're just going to go through that template part by template part for everything that you need so my. Do I have a post page. Oh this does not have a single blog alternative. So that sites will use the template single for post page but I think. Oh, it's right there in front of me. So this is how blog posts are showing on my site right now. And you're just going to go through template by template, we can definitely move things around put them into patterns things like that. So I think the key takeaway here is just to know that you can use patterns you can play with these things until you get them, them right. Time is it is 538. I'm going to pause here. Do we have any questions that I should answer at the moment. I don't know if you heard my bird whistling in the background or not. I'm excited to answer those questions. So, once I have the overall structure of my site done I can move this around I can play with it. We definitely have a lot of resources on advanced layouts or whatever again you can use the patterns that are available to you. But once you start to get the structure right. So I'm going to go ahead and show you how to style your site and there are some some kind of gotchas in here that I want to talk about just because I am using a lot of patterns I am using. I have pulled things from out so when it comes to stylizing your site. Generally speaking, you want to use your global styles as much as possible. The beauty of global styles is that you should be able to select a color, a size padding option once and it should be applied to every block. That's in there. So, I'm going to do something here I'm part of the reason I picked 2023 is that it introduced a new option here which is styles and this allows you to change the look and feel of your website with the click of a button. And these are made by designers kind of depends on what you're going for. So you can definitely start out with many block themes, and there will be more and more in the future, where it will change the overall look and feel of a lot of your site. So I'm going to pick. Maybe this one this one feels kind of like parchment paper, but you might have noticed that, for example, this footer, the color down here isn't changing some things are in it. For whatever reason it's still purple. So when you're switching from a classic to a block theme and you are using patterns. You're going to have some sticky stuff here. So knowing where to go to find it super useful. So when it sticks like this there are two places it can be. The first is in the settings for this particular block. So I'm going to use my list view. And I'm going to look at this footer. Now note that if you're using a template part which is indicated by this kind of work what is like a frames type icon here, this is going to apply to every template that uses this footer so if you get confused like I do it can be a good idea to head to template parts and just edit it there, but I know using this list view I'm editing this footer the changes that I make you're going to apply to everything. So now that this has been selected. I generally use my list view to kind of click around. Just because something that might be like on a button may not be an option for something else so like if I'm just randomly clicking you'll notice that like I don't know where that color is. It's this top column here that saying hey this background let's make it purple to make it match so that anytime I make a big global change on my website using this global styles here I need to remove this. So there is a way to do that. I guess I could just make it transparent. That seems odd. There's normally a button here isn't there a button here to remove that. Interesting. Okay, I'm used to there being a button for now I'm going to make it transparent so that anytime I make a change that that will that will happen. I also want my text to. You just click it again. There it goes haha. So click click it's now off see that that block pattern that means it's transparent. I'm going to save this. And now if I go over here and I pick a different style or I change the different colors of my websites. That should change as well so that's the first place where some of these things can be. I'm going to check this button here. I think that this is probably in a setting as well and that's part of the reason that I implore you to make as many changes as you can using global styles. If you want to rebrand quickly. Doing that here makes it so that I click up a button changes that. If you do a lot of settings which is what I did when I first got started, you end up having to change things blocked by individual block. So here this background has been set in the settings. I am just going to turn that off. So I just clicked a button, turned it off and now that will change as well so I've cleared this out as evidence by the circle here. Okay, I'm going to pause double check. I grew okay so far. So this is getting a little bit closer. At some point I'm going to put this type of query loop into two columns here. I haven't put it yet, but I want to talk about one other place where if you're like hey like something about this is sticking and I'm not sure why. Let's take the site title, for example. So here I'm working in my header any change that I make within that template part will be applied globally. I'm going to expand this to find what I'm looking for. I've got some buttons here that I'm going to change. Okay. So this site title. Let's say in my global styles I want all of my headings to be. I want them to be a different fault. So you'll notice that all of my headings up here are changing. Right. That is really exciting. So I'm going to pick a different one you can see the difference there I'm going to save this. If you were to make this change and you would notice something like your site title which is a type of heading hasn't changed the other place to look as you're migrating is in these blocks here so I'm in global styles. I click on blocks. I can look specifically for the site title block. And I can find that there and you'll notice that in many block themes but not all I do have a typography option here. If you're following this tutorial you're over here in your site title you're not seeing a typography button there's probably a setting that's not on in your theme.json so you might have to add some code there. But if you're using 2023. I can say hey, I want my site heading to be something different. I can do that let's say I want to make it. That doesn't look very pretty on mobile. Let's say I want it to be extra bold. I can save that and now anytime I had some like mobile styles here. I can change every other heading to a different font, but you'll notice that isn't changing anymore. And it's because it is set at the block level so that's one gotcha that had me absolutely tearing my hair out so I hope that it helps you to discover this. So and just asked me am I going to save all of these modifications into a child theme that is a fantastic question. So the word for site editor is a little different in that you don't need to make child themes the same way that you did for classic themes. So for those of you who are new to this, if you were to make changes at the code level. If you were to go into the PHP file here and make the change there anytime somebody updated the theme so if they wanted to, for example, add more styles they want to add more features that come out with 6.2 to their theme. So changes would be overwritten, unless you created a separate child theme. The WordPress site editor is different in that if you head to your templates, you'll notice some of these have a little blue dot. This means that this template has been customized by me the person and the changes that I make the selections that I make in the site editor will be copied over so even if they add even more styles here, what I have chosen in the site editor here will be preserved. So these changes are being saved in the database as Catherine wrote in the chat, and the files are not being changed basically I am adding stuff on top of it. So even if the underlying picture changes. These changes stay on top. So it's a really cool feature. As far as block themes go. Great, great question. I love it. I'm going to head back to unless there are any questions about that so far. Are we good so far. I know we've had. And Catherine did mention, there is a create block theme plugin that allows you to save changes as a child theme, but I won't need to do that. So we talked about using primarily global styles, which is this button up here. It looks like a half moon do be aware that was 6.2 coming out in March sometime can't remember the exact date these may change a little bit so just be aware of that if you are watching this recording later or you go in to edit this and 6.2 has been released, and you've updated some things are going to shift a little bit here. So you can use some settings but you definitely want to try to use them sparingly. So for example. I'm going to select this. That was an odd blip I wonder if that was my computer. So for example, in this header, I used a cover block here. These are settings yeah, these are not these are not global styles so these are settings. Let's say that the image that I pick. The media library, and let's pick. I'm seeing some very interesting things with this one. Let's say that the image that I pick is just not particularly accessible you can't read the text here it's not it's not looking great I don't like that. I'm only going to use this cover block here in this heading it's already set I'm never going to have to like really change that again that might be a use case to change these settings so for. Yes, so for example with the site tagline I could go over here. I could say hey I want to make sure that everybody can read this even though Louie is very handsome. And I can make that change there. There's one instance where you might use a setting just knowing hey I'm never going to do this again most likely I don't need to make this. I don't need to allow this change I want to make sure I can always read this text here that might be a good option. Yeah, so that that might be one example the other thing I could do here and again the thing with WordPress is there are so many ways to do the same thing I could also potentially head down to blocks here and look for my tagline. I might be able to style that here so I might be able to change the background. Now you might notice that I came here to my global styles, and this color isn't changing. So that is because whatever you put in settings here goes right on top of what's on on your global styles. So it's just it's really important to know that as you are designing so I'm going to turn this off now. Change this text color so that it is off as well. So if you do want to use your global styles these individual block settings can be really helpful so if I go here and say hey anytime I use a site tagline let's say I want to use it in my footer and end up here. I can select the colors here. Change that background and maybe change that text to another color so that it is readable my text. It's sticking. This is why I'm showing you this right now. So let's find out. Oh but it's not fascinating. I wonder if this is a paragraph thing. So this might be set somewhere else. Let's find out. No I don't know why it's sticking there interesting so when all else fails I can go back to my settings and say hey I'm going to over want to override this. There's my text. Easy peasy. There it is. And then a great question was asked to these patterns that other people have made come with responsiveness built in all blocks are responsive to some degree Catherine is totally right. Since patterns use blocks they should be responsive. It's a good idea to test things out though, especially if you're designing just on your own, just because some things will stack some things will not, but you can kind of see the difference. So this is what this would look like on a probably a mobile phone right whereas if I make it a little wider, maybe on a tablet it might look a little bit more like that. And testing it on different screen sizes WordPress is getting better and better with every new, every new release. So you might find that certain things aren't as responsive or do really strange things. And for example sometimes like the text will rather than be wide, it'll go into like a single column if it gets small enough. There are ways around it but you're going to have to dig around in the settings a little bit. Okay, so I'm going to continue to work on this website and again it does take some time it does take some elbow grease to really get a sense of how this works and why it works. But I don't have to go live on my other website until I am ready. So at some point when this website looks this website looks the way that I really want it to I'm happy with it I've redesigned it I have the control that I want and all the features in there. I can change my name servers so that birdie blog shows this website over here this birdie blog on my staging website.com. And that is the way that I would recommend doing that. So, yeah, let's let's go to the corrupt slide here. We talked about these. So, and because I'm doing this on a separate website, and not just changing my birdie blog website. I can definitely add some plugins and anticipate issues here in a safe spot. Not all plugins are compatible with block things many are racing to catch up to make sure that they are because again they do see this as kind of the future of WordPress. Certain plugins will be used more successfully than others. Oh, and there is not a beautiful sunset that's just my background thank you Laura. So I'm just curious are there any plugins you'd recommend that you've used successfully with block themes. Are there any plugins that you've used unsuccessfully. Just curious. If you've, if you've seen anything like that, seeing any responses yet but that's okay. But I will say that there will be time consuming to move from a classic to a block theme, especially if you have a lot of complex plugins a lot. If you have, as in my case, lots of enormous images that I should have optimized for my website. So there is probably a pretty big opening in the field of migrating themes from a classic to a block theme for different things so if you can really experiment with this really play with this like I feel like this is one way that you could by switching this over so let's see some of the form plugins have not been working so I that's new to me I've not experimented with that I know there were some questions about that earlier. I know that Catherine you said earlier that short codes generally work pretty well because you can use a short code block. So if I'm editing a page, I have a plugin that uses a short code. We just add one underneath this insert after there is a short code and put her so I could definitely write a short code here and it should display properly. And another person. Oh, go ahead. Oh, I was just gonna. Yeah, you're probably answering the question about the mentor. Yeah, I was going to talk about that. Um, so as far as do block themes work with element or so you may be watching this and going hey I didn't see anything that looks like this in my theme I if I go and edit my site here I don't actually see. What is it the customizer parents customizer, you might be seeing something totally different. And if you are seeing something totally different from what you see here or what you saw in this workspace. That's an advertisement that's fine. If you're seeing something totally different you may be using a site builder such as elementary such as Divi beaver builder. And then you can see the lines of a he bakery out there. And I feel like a lot of those really fulfilled the need that that WordPress has needed to fill all this time right they were allowing you to make pages in a more drag and drop sort of way with WordPress. So they don't necessarily work together you may have to migrate from one to another. And they don't really have any branch features that aren't quite in WordPress core yet so there are you know benefits to using some but it's generally not. As far as I'm aware someone correctly if I'm wrong it's generally really hard to use both what you see in the site editor with a page builder the page builder usually those right on top of the site editor and overrides a lot of what it does. So yeah, let's, let's start wrapping up this one I think. Let's participate issues. And from now you're going to policy and financial site it is important to know you may encounter some migration issues. I had some important issues. I had size issues it's just important to know that if you if I wanted to take, you know what I'm doing over here in my staging website and try and move it to my existing host you might have migration issues so I do think that one of the best ways to move from a classic to a block theme is to set up another installation and do that there and then change the name servers so that yeah. So that would be my recommendation. Is it the only way to do it. No, is it a way that I would do it with way more confidence than just heading over to my birdie blog website and just switching over. Yeah, because people do actually come to this website to learn specifically eclectic motorbolts very niche subject only for people who have equies. But yeah so we talked about that. Some of the last thing that I'm going to do I need to change my name servers I need a 301 redirect we're not going into that. I will probably have to migrate my followers because I'm moving from WordPress calm to pressable things I can do. But the key points that I really want you to walk away with today are if you don't do anything else you just want to go go forward and change your website please make sure that you back up your website without a backup earlier today. My website would have been in a state of disarray and it would have been very tragic for me as the site owner. I really recommend practicing with the site editor. Y'all were mostly more advanced users today so if you know this. Definitely check your plugins make sure that they support block themes before you switch test them, and do know that this process can take some time but with the right planning the right effort, the mindset you can switch themes efficiently with with no downtime there. So with our last minute left, are there any final takeaways. Laura is made a great point. The developers have listened to a lot of the comments that have been made by users and they've added a lot of really cool stuff in 6.2. So if you're working with this now, and you get frustrated and you're like hey this isn't working it's not possible to do yet. That is the keyword yet. We're working on it. Alright, for more tutorials online workshops and courses please visit learn.wordpress.org. We really appreciate your time today. Cheers y'all.

Welcome to the Peak Performance Humans podcast and the Alcohol Free Lifestyle podcast. I am James Swanik and I am Naeem Mahmood. Welcome. If you're on the Peak Performance Humans podcast, you're probably wondering, why does Naeem sound like an Australian? That's a big word. I am a guest on your podcast today. Thank you so much, Naeem. And Naeem is a guest on my podcast, the Alcohol Free Lifestyle. We're doing the same podcast episode, which is going to air on our respective podcast shows, which is kind of amazing, right? Yeah. James has invaded my podcast and I like it. I always wanted an Australian voice. I always thought Australians had cool voices, so I'm happy that you did that. It's like a podcast takeover. They call it Instagram takeovers. This is going to be fun. We're going to talk about Peak Performance. We're going to talk about Mindset. And just for my listeners, Naeem is a new friend of mine. We got to hang out in the Surfside Village of Rincon on the west coast of Puerto Rico a couple of weeks ago. We were introduced by a mutual friend and Naeem couldn't have been nicer and we had a wonderful dinner and conversation about life and mindset and peak performance. And Naeem was a top national speaker and trainer at the Tony Robbins organization. So you can imagine how good at public speaking and performance and mindset you have to be to be able to work with Tony Robbins. And of course, when we were chatting over dinner, I picked up on that right away. You were so well presented. That's not the right way of saying it, but you were so confident and so well spoken and articulate. Oh, yeah, this is someone who's really, really good energy. Oh, thanks, man. I appreciate that. Yeah. Well, and I'm invading the Alcohol Free Lifestyle podcast. And I'm going to give my intro about James to my listeners too real quick. Yeah. So Jay, and likewise, I was really super stoked to meet. Let me tell my side of the story actually. Yeah. So our friend, Josephina, she's like, hey, my friend James is in Puerto Rico. And I'm like, oh, cool. He must be a cool guy. All of Josephina's friends are cool. So, and then we met at the, what was the name of the restaurant? La Cambija. It's a really nice restaurant here. And James is awesome, man. Like I really appreciated your energy and your authenticity and the way you showed up. And you're also a mindset master too, right? So I'm glad that we got to connect on similar experiences and kind of genres of what we do. Yeah. For those of the people that don't know who James is, I'll give you a quick little biography. So he, he coached thousands of people to improve their lives and performance by adopting an alcohol free lifestyle. So, and he's also the author of the 30 day no alcohol challenge, which is really a simple guide to easily reduce or quit alcohol. And he's also the creator of project 90, which is an online program providing support and coaching for individuals that are limiting alcohol from their lives. And his podcast is great too. I was listening to some episodes before and the thing I liked about your podcast lot James is it's, it's a lot of the things people don't really get to hear, right? It's a little bit against the status quo, but from what I've studied and learned from working with Tony Robbins and all the work I've been doing and obviously you too. It's, it's unfortunately not this information is as prevalent as I wish it was, right? Because when I first started learning it, it helped me change so much, so many things in my life. So I'm so happy you're putting out to the world and help people with alcohol, which is such a big challenge for a lot of people. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. You don't drink much, right? You drink occasionally, but you're not really a big drinker at all, correct? Yeah, not much. Like maybe two or three drinks a month, honestly, right? And that's really just if I'm out with friends or, yeah, it's really just how friends honestly, maybe a glass of wine or that's it really. And how did that come to be? Like, was that a conscious choice? So you just never really got into it? Or did you drink too much one day? And you were like, why this back in? I did have experiences where I drank too much. And this is the crazy thing, which is why I love what you're doing, man. Because I only used to drink a lot because I felt like I should drink a lot. How crazy is that, right? Like I was in high school and college and like, I have to fit in and like get drunk. Like how dumb is that, right? And I got, I know it wasn't just me, right? I know I had other friends that like, like, why are we doing this? Why do I hangover? Like that's the stupidest thing. So part of it was just silly peer pressure trying to fit in because you think that's everybody's doing. But not everybody is doing that for people listening. Like there's a lot of really, and not that people that drink aren't cool, but there's a lot of really awesome people that don't drink that are just like you. If you're somebody that doesn't want to drink or do other substances, right? So, so part of it was, I did have a bad experience or two. Part of it was the rails raised. Like my family, my parents always never really, they said, don't drink, which was helpful. And then part of it was I never really, even when I did drink, like, again, I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I enjoy a glass of wine if I do it the right way, right? I think a lot of this stuff is doing it the right way, just like eating, right? Like not overeating or just at the right times. But I also don't really feel the need to drink too much just because I'm not really too keen on it. Yeah. I mean, a lot of the work I do is not necessarily helping people quit alcohol forever. Although a lot of people who I've worked with have chosen to quit alcohol forever and that they're living alcohol free life. A lot of the work I do is really helping people get power over alcohol. So they are free to choose if or when they have a drink. Alcohol no longer has power over them. And I would imagine you being a peak performance and mindset coach and especially working in the Tony Robbins organization that you would have seen and you would know that if you are, you know, relieving yourself of stress by drinking or by shopping or by scrolling on the internet or by porn or by love addiction or whatever. That's really going to compromise your quality of life. Did you see that when you were working in that organization? Did you see how people were compromising areas of their life through some kind of addiction or some kind of stress relief that wasn't serving them? Oh, from our clients for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Not within the organization, right? Make me quiet, sorry, yeah. Right, yeah. But that was just, I just thought that might be a funny joke if I threw in there like some alcoholics, coaches for Tony, right? But yeah, for sure, man, that was a big one, right? A lot of people have troubles with alcohol and other things, but alcohol is a big one. And I like how you said it though. It's a habit, it's a pattern, but it's also a habit and a pattern that we can have power over as well, you know? Yeah, when you were coaching clients in that organization, what were some of the more common mental blocks that you saw from folks? From alcohol specifically or just now? Just in general, just, you know, we're studying human beings in general. I'm imagining that you came across lots of different personalities and heard lots of different stories. Was there a pattern of behavior or misbehavior and, you know, what came up? Well, the crazy thing with Tony, right, because he reaches so many people. So there wasn't, like there was, there's so many stories, right? Like from the most tragic hearing ones, like suicide and rape and sexual abuse and things like that. And like death, of course, like murder and crazy stuff, and then up to like a little less extreme. But I'd say, so like lots of varying like surface level stories, but kind of the, I'd say the pattern of like a core kind of theme was really, it comes down. And again, this is going to sound basic. And this is a big thing Tony talks about. It's called a law of familiarity just because we know it like intellectually, a lot of times you like dismiss it and like, oh, I know that. And then we just don't, it still has power over us. Right. So I just want to preface it before I say it because I don't want people to be like, oh, that's so basic. But it's really comes down to our belief systems. Right. And we're always telling ourselves stories and a lot of the people that have are stuck and we all get stuck. That's the other thing that I love hearing you talk about. It's like, we all get stuck and it's not, it doesn't have power over us unless we'd let it have power over us. We just want to rewrite the story. So a big thing I would do when I worked for Tony is I go to organizations, whether it was business wise or in a personal context. And I'd really kind of help them uncover their story because they'd have excuse like excuses. And we call them their BS and not the BS you might be thinking about. We call them their belief systems. Right. Like, oh, I don't have the money or I can't do it. Or if it's an alcohol story, it's like whatever it is, maybe their parents are abusive. Maybe they lost their business. Maybe they grew up with an alcoholic mom or dad. And that's true and that sucks. And my heart goes out to the people for that, but we all have stories. And if we let that story kind of take our life over, then we'll buy into that story. So we got to sell ourselves on a new story. So I'd say that was kind of the core thing that I was helping people with is really uncovering. Hey, okay, you don't have the money, you know, the time you're an alcoholic, whatever it might be. That's the story. And again, it might be, I'm not saying it's true or not, but the thing that is the thing is the meaning behind the story. So like somebody might have been raped. Somebody might have had an alcoholic mom or dad, but the meaning you gave it is what makes the difference. So maybe two brothers, two sisters grow up in the same experience with an alcoholic parent. One says, I should be drunk like my mom or dad so I can get love. The other one says, fuck that. I'm going to become an amazing example of a human being live healthy and vital and show other people what's possible. Yeah. It's fascinating. And it's funny as well. Stories can actually change our genetics. There's a book called inheritance by Dr. Let me just Google it while I'm talking. I want to make sure I get the author's name. Correct. But he actually, he actually, they looked at twins. Here we go. Sharon Mollum. Inheritance, how our genes change our lives and our lives change our genes. It's a book by Sharon Mollum. I read it about seven years ago. And they looked at a set of twins, identical twins. And one of them was bullied at school and the other one was not bullied at school. And they looked at the genetics and they looked at, they followed the twins lives over time. And the one who was bullied became obese and very unhealthy. And they determined that the stress from being bullied raised his cortisol levels. And of course too much cortisol, cortisol is the stressful mode. It puts a lot of stress on our body. And he didn't have a particularly healthy physical or mental life. The other twin was absolutely fine. Just kind of like normal, wasn't overweight, wasn't like a high achiever either. He just kind of lived his life. So it's fascinating how something like bullying in this instance, this person who was bullied when he was a child, probably created a story that I'm not good enough or my other twin is better. I mean, I'm just assuming here and that led. And in his meaning was completely different to his brother's meaning. And that has fundamentally changed the course of his life. And you know, like you said, there's also something can happen to you or some situation can happen. And you can look at it through two different lens. Well, you actually can look at it through thousands of different lenses, right? Here's a great example. I'll say the exact same words two different ways, right? So if I said to you, Naeem, you're an idiot, right? Let's just look at the words, you're an idiot. So here's two examples. Here's example one, Naeem, you're an idiot. Here's example number two, Naeem, you're an idiot. Exactly the same words, two completely different meanings, right? Absolutely. And I felt it, right? Even though I kind of know what you're doing and I knew it, you can't, your nervous system can't help but feel it. So I felt the difference in my body when you did it. Same words, same English language, but completely different, completely different meaning. As we're recording this, cryptocurrency took a beating in the last 24 hours. So the same thing happened, cryptocurrency, a lot of cryptocurrency stocks or coins went from being quite high to quite low. That's what happened. Some people look at that and go, disaster, I've lost thousands. Other people look at that and go, opportunity, I've lost thousands. Now I'm going to buy in at the dip so I can make more. That's the meaning that we're talking about, right? Yep, exactly. You spot on, yeah. And I love what you said about literally epigenetics, right? We could literally reprogram our genes just through our thoughts, right? Because it literally triggers the biochemical response in our body which activates our genes, right? So that's such a great point. Yeah. I'm getting married. Let's celebrate with champagne. Or I'm getting married. Let's celebrate. No champagne required. Yep. It's just, it's like a mindset, isn't it? It's fascinating. Yep. And I'd say, what about, like, you do a lot of this work with your clients too, right? Like you help them, because I remember when we were talking, you told me during dinner when you were here in Puerto Rico, some of the work you were doing and helping them uncover their stories and kind of break through them. So is there any kind of approach you do in a unique way or something that you find useful to help people kind of uncover, because first it's the awareness. A lot of people aren't even aware of it. So maybe uncovering it and then, like, breaking through or getting up a new one. Well, as it relates to drinking, most of society have been conditioned to believe that alcohol is something desirable. Yeah. See it in the marketing. We see it on TV commercials. It's associated with romance. Alcohol is associated with celebration. It's associated with relaxation. It's associated with celebration and stress relief. And so we've been conditioned to believe that this attractively packaged poison, which is what I call it, because alcohol literally is a poison, is something desirable. And we start to be conditioned when we're children and we see mom and dad have a glass of wine at night and they say to you, oh, no, you can't drink. You're a child. You've got to wait until you're 16 or you're 18. And then you can have a drink. And so straight away, they're conditioning us that, oh, that's something to look forward to. That's something that the adults get to do. And I'll get to do that when I'm older. Yeah. And so that conditioning begins. And then later on, it progresses with 18th birthday parties. Oh, let's get drunk. And then it's 21st birthday parties. And then let's watch the football and have a few drinks. Let's catch up with the girls and let's all do a cheers. And now let's take an Instagram photo and everybody's got not everybody, but lots of people have got that they hold their glass of alcohol or their beer as this prop for a photo is if to signify this is living life. Oh, yeah. Here's me proudly showing off my alcoholic drink as if to display. Oh, yeah. This is what living is all about. Right. And it festers. This has been going on for most of our lives. And so a lot of the work I do in terms of rewiring the brain is to look at alcohol through a completely different lens. And that lens can be certain lenses including, hey, would you like a glass of Paul Sleep tonight? Hey, would you like about 20 extra pounds over the next six months? I get you started with a lovely glass of shoulder fat. Hey, would you like a glass of irritability with your husband tonight? Yeah, that's because that's what happens when you drink. So it's just it's kind of flipping the story a little bit and looking at alcohol for what it actually is and what it actually does. Yeah, I love that. One is it's telling the truth, right? But two is it's adding the humor and the playfulness to it. It's a really powerful way to interrupt patterns. Right? So I love that you make it like funny and playful, right? Because that's what makes people remember it and stick to it. Yeah. How what are some other ways that you do pattern interrupts with some of your your clients? I think those are probably the most I'd say funny and like humor is probably one of the most powerful. Then other times like just like really intense sometimes, right? Just like like sometimes even scary, right? And again, if you think about something that's mean to be scary, you know, it's like if it's going to stop drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, like, yeah, scare the crap out of them, right? So sometimes like, don't do this if you're listening, right? Try try the humor, right? But I've heard Tony tell me some humorous stories about some crazy like kind of ways you would shock like even his kids or clients that were having challenges. But but the best one, honestly, for people listening is humor, right? Or like weirdness or like grossness, right? Like, I like what you said about, would you like to drink shoulder of fat or something, right? When you said that, would you like a glass of shoulder fat? Yeah, exactly. There's a lot of women clients in particular, they worry about fat around their shoulders or their arms or and guys are worried about the beer bellies and things like that. So, yeah. Yep. How did you get into like what made you decide to like quit alcohol and kind of live this career to kind of promote kind of go on this mission? Well, I was a societally acceptable drinker up until my mid 30s in the sense that I drank couple drinks most nights on weekends. I drink a bit more. I very rarely got drunk. But I was just a consistent socially acceptable drinker. But in my mid 30s, I woke up one morning looked in the mirror and realized that I was about 20 pounds overweight. I wasn't sleeping great. I was just kind of meandering along. I described myself as feeling like a five or a six out of 10. So I wasn't rock bottom. I wasn't getting arrested, getting DUIs or waking up in ditches or anything like that. It was just like this almost invisible drift of mediocrity. That's kind of people. What's that? Sorry? Kind of like most people, right? People have it together, but they're just kind of drifting with it. Yeah, it's the drift. It's the drift. It just kind of takes you. And yeah, I just, I was in Austin, Texas. I've had two gin and tonics the night before on a Friday night. And the next morning I just said, you know what? I'm just going to take a little break and see what happens. And I took a 30 day break and I lost 13 pounds in those 30 days. And I thought, well, I'll just keep going and see what happens. And I got to 40 days and 60 and 90. And I got to a year. And in a year I looked back and I went, wow, I got this, you know, from sleeping better, looking better, feeling better. I also got my dream job hosting a TV show, Sports Center on ESPN. And I credit the clarity and focus that I got from being alcohol free to helping me get that job. I attracted higher caliber friendships and acquaintances. I was just on a higher energetic frequency, I guess. You know, I just, I was less irritable and friendlier and more open. I wasn't so rigid or stuck in my ways. I was more flexible. I just noticed all these benefits. And so I thought, you know what? I'll just keep going. And I haven't drunk since. I haven't had a drink since 2010. And 2015 I got, I got a little tired of people asking me to say, hey, why, why are you not drinking? So I thought, you know what? I'm going to, I'm going to build a program to help people quit drinking. And that's where it really started. And that's how I created this business. That's awesome. I love that. And you're, and you're kind of original roots. You're a journalist and you're in like, kind of, I know you, you sit and you started out working for Rupert Murdoch and you worked with celebrities. Like you're in like, that's like alcohol world. Right. That's what you do. Right. So yeah. In another life, I was a, I was a celebrity journalist in the sense that I interviewed movie stars and things like that. So I interviewed Tom Cruise and Hugh Gaffner and Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and all of those kind of folks in Hollywood when I moved there before 2010. And I remember I, I, I've been to the Playboy mansion three times and I went there as a drinker and I went there as a non-drinker. And I tell you, I had a much better time as a non-drinker, which is kind of crazy because everyone thinks that the Playboy mansion would be the most hedonistic, wonderful time. But I drank so heavily the first time when I was there pre 2010 that I couldn't remember much of it. And I felt sick the next day. But the next time I really got to savor it and, and party and have fun and dance and meet lots of people take it all in. That was a much more enjoyable experience. But you're right. I mean, I was living in Hollywood pre 2010, going to Oscar parties and MTV parties and Elton John's Oscars parties and open bars. And, you know, I mean, I drank a lot at those open bars and had a lot of fun came at a cost though. But then after 2010, I still did that. Like I still went to the Super Bowl parties, the Maxim party, open bars, celebrities, fast living, but just drinking soda, water, ice and a piece of lime or some other kind of, you know, alcohol free drink. It was a wonderful time, so much better, more energy and clarity and better conversations. And the next morning you're like, that was amazing as opposed to, oh, I feel awful. Yeah. And did you still find that there's still people at those parties that aren't necessarily drinking and you can still have conversation with? Yeah. I mean, most of the celebrities weren't drinking. Yep. Most of the celebrities were alcohol free. Yeah. I remember I interviewed Bradley Cooper. Uh-huh. He was promoting the film The Hangover. And it was probably about 2007 or 2008 or somewhere around there. And I remember I was interviewing him at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. And I asked him, what's your favorite drink, alcoholic drink? And he said, oh, yeah, I don't drink. And I said, what? He said, yeah, I don't drink. And I remember thinking, ugh, this guy's not someone that I'd be friends with because I was a drinker at this time. And anyway, he went on to tell me that he drank too much and he just decided to quit. And he's still alcohol free to this day. Yeah. But as soon as I went alcohol free, I remember looking back going, oh, now I get it. Like, you know, like he's a successful person in his field, in his art, in his creative endeavors. He doesn't need alcohol. He's adored by women all over the world. He's respected by men all over the world. He's got a child. He's an Oscar nominated actor. And he's alcohol free. So that was Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, the rock band Coldplay. He doesn't seem to need alcohol to have business success or creative success. And so yeah, it's, you know, when you kind of wake up a little bit, you realize, wow, I can choose to be in the drifts and just have alcohol compromise areas in my life, or I can go alcohol free for, you know, mostly alcohol free and just open up all different areas of my life. You know? Yep. I love that. I was just going to ask, was there a, was there a defining moment, nothing to do with alcohol, but was there any defining moment or phase in your life where you made a shift from say a sub high performance mindset to a high performance mindset? Like what led you to that point? That's a good question. I was always a top performer. No, I'm joking. Let me think about that. I'd say probably like one period, one moment was in college. Well, in college. Yeah. Or even in high school. It was weird. I would like slack off a little bit and then I like, all right, I'm going to get this on and get good grades and do better. So that happened. I'd say a big one was when I started working for Tony, because I still had stories from like people I loved and cared about where it's like, don't try too hard. And I was kind of the achiever in my family. And I was always like, just want to be the best. And then some, just people I loved would be like, dude, chill, enjoy life. Right. And I'm like, Oh, maybe I shouldn't try so hard. So, but then working for Tony is like, bro, like that's all BS. Like, like that's how you enjoy more life. And that's how you give more and serve more and help more and be an example. Right. So that was really cool. Cause that, that's kind of unleashed my permission for myself to just be the most badass person I want to be and can be. And I'm still on that path. So I'd say going through that whole experience working for Tony was probably the one where it just kind of helped me just unleash some of those shackles. How did you think to actually work for Tony? Because I'm, because that must have taken some level of awareness to make the choice to actually try to work for Tony. Yeah, it's a good question. So it's funny. So I went on. So it's cool cause I could literally track the whole, all the dots that I've kind of been on one of my personal kind of development path. I quit my job into hedge fund. Then I was like, all right, I'm going to figure my life out. And then I remembered like every, not everyone, but like the defining moments that kind of led me to where I even am today. But I started reading like the Jack can fields book, which is really helpful for me. He wrote, he wrote the book success principles. Again, it's basic, but it's really powerful, fundamental stuff that you can use. And he's a really smart guy. He went to Harvard and so I liked his style. But that eventually led me like studying NLP. That eventually got me to go to Tony Robbins and the event, which was the best event I've ever been to. And then that, I also hired Jarek Robbins as my coach. And Jarek, who was again, probably one of the most impactful people in my life. He just told me with so many things with my mindset and beliefs and starting my business and traveling and things I wanted to do. But he actually suggested to me, Hey, he's like, if you love this work so much, why don't you go apply for a job with Tony Robbins? And I was like, hmm, maybe that's the way I should do that. And then I did it. And I was waiting for like four months. I didn't hear back from them. I was literally ready to move on to like the next thing. And then they finally reached out to me. I was like, oh, cool. And then I just went through the process and I ended up working there. Wow. That was it. Yep. Just for clarity is Jarek Robbins is Tony Robbins' son. Yes. Yep. Yeah. And what was impactful about Jarek? He's your business partner now in one of your business. Maybe just for my listeners, give a little bit of context as to the business that you do with Jarek. Yeah, totally. So Jarek is just amazing at what he does. And you would like a lot of times you would think, oh, the son or daughter of an icon is automatic and be great, but it's not true. Right. Like there's a lot of examples of sons or daughters of amazing people that didn't kind of perform at that same level that Jarek does. And he's very humble about it and very modest about it. He's a totally different kind of vibe than his dad. Tony's like, go, go, go. Unstoppable. Right. Like Jarek is more about fulfilling Tony is too, of course, but fulfillment and quality of life and very modest and very humble. And he's not trying to like achieve the impossible. He really just cares about humans and like every, and Tony does too, of course. Right. But like Jarek, that's like his thing and he just, we have a company called performance coach university that trains and certifies people that want to become coaches and either build the coaching business or already are business owners that want to get more of that skill set to just influence people and help people at a higher level, whether that's their team or their clients, of course, to just get better results with their products and services. Yeah. Amazing. And so is it, is it mostly a first time business owners or is it people who are a little bit more experienced? So who's like the perfect demographic of person that you can help create the most impact for? Yeah. I'd say probably the, the main core is people that are like transitioning, like want to become coaches. Right. Like, okay. I either am a coach and want more skill set because we have a certification that's really recognized and reputable. We have two of them actually. And then also our brand is pretty powerful as well, obviously. But I'd say people that are either coaches or want to become coaches and like build their business and kind of just get out there and start helping people and serving people. And then, yeah, business owners, but then that's a whole, it's just really any business owner that wants to be better at their craft of leading their team and leading their clients. Right. So some are really successful, if you want to call it right, doing seven, 10, eight figures in their business and some are kind of doing a one man or woman show and still just hungry to become better at what they do. I know that in my business, when a new client begins, I, 99% of my clients achieve the result that they want. We've had a few people over the years who haven't quite got there. Amazing. But one, sorry. That's amazing. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. But getting them to say yes to join the program in the first place often feels like a real struggle because there's so much resistance from say a prospect before they step into their power and say yes and invest in themselves and become a client and then get the result. So I'm curious, how do you get people to take action, to take that action where it's scary, there's so much resistance, but how do you get them to take the action anyway? Yeah, that's a great question and a great point. It's so ironic, right? And same with me. I think it's because it's such a, the work we do and you do, of course, is so transformational. So it's like a lot of times there's a lot of resistance for the person because it's fear, right? It's like, oh my God, what's the unknown? But when they do it, it's like, that's why it's so powerful and they're so grateful for you to do it with them. But I would say, and it was the same when I worked for Tony, man. It's like, even people said, I want to go see Tony. I love Tony. It's still like pulling teeth, dragging them, calling them 20 times, knocking on their door and getting them to come and grab them and take them to go see Tony. So I think it's that mindset because they're not just buying a water bottle or a pillow or a supplement, right? It's literally going to change their life at a super high level. There's obviously a whole gradation to that. But I'd say what you do really well, which I didn't mention in the beginning when we were at dinner, is ask good questions because I'm not going to convince or sell anybody to do it. They got to sell themself. And the best way to do it is to really be present and listen and ask really thoughtful questions to help them get better awareness and kind of come to the answer themself and make the decision themself. Because you can logically explain to them, hey, James, if you keep drinking alcohol, you're going to lose your job and be broke. But no matter how many times you tell somebody that, they're going to keep doing it, right? But if you ask them a really thoughtful question and they get the insight, like, oh, it's like my mom or my dad might hurt them or you never know. You also got to be curious and experimental with that, too. But I'd say what you were doing the other night when we met was probably a really core foundation to what we do is ask really solid questions to people, thoughtful questions. I think if I was to thank you for your feedback on that, I think if I was to give myself a pat on the back or something I'm quite proud of is that I consider myself to be a master questioner. And it was trained in me because I was a newspaper reporter very young and so, you know, my entire job really was to get strangers to open up and share with me. And I think now in later life, I just I've done a pretty good job at that. But it's interesting. I'm also a very logical, I also have a very logical mind and it's funny because just to back up what you were saying, I can have the greatest logical argument in the world. Why somebody should take action from the point of it's costing you a hundred thousand dollars a year and lost opportunities for you to continue the way you're doing. And they still and like I have the best logical and they still won't take action. They still won't do it. And because I'm a logical logical mind, I don't understand. One plus one is two. One plus one is two. And it feels like the person that I'm trying to convince which I shouldn't be trying to convince it feels like they're saying, yeah, but three minus two plus seven minus five and zero equals I don't really I'm not sure that's the right question. So, yeah, let me think about it. I really, really, really want to want to get to one plus one equals two. Just not sure probably not right not the right time. And logically, like it's not the right time to stop feeling like crap and having a bad relationship and leaving a hundred thousand dollars on the table. You want more time to think about that. I'm like, what are you doing? But I but it's just people and myself included we seem to mostly take action from from emotion. I mean, even the word emotion has the word motion in it. Isn't it like emotion? Is that what you found? Absolutely. Yeah, like 100% we take action like from emotion right emotion is energy and motion and people whether people believe it or not it's like we make most of our decisions based on emotion not on logic. Yeah. Another way you said what you were talking about before is breaking patterns too. And that's that's shifting their emotional state right because if they're a certain that they're kind of an emotional kind of pattern when they're like objecting to it or not or not seeing the logic. So it's like a good one could be to break their pattern with humor or something like that to kind of just break their emotional state. Yeah, and it's funny. I had a a new client joined our project 90 program just two days ago and I was on a call with him which must have been for 45 minutes and he talked himself out of it. I think three times. Yeah. Well, he finally talked himself into it and he enrolled and then I spoke with him only an hour ago and he was loving everything so far as I made the right choice. But what was funny is he was saying to me when he'd first said no a couple times to joining. He said I just I feel uneasy. I don't know you. I've only just come across you. I guess I've got this fear that you're an online scam artist and that you're going to take my money and and you know I guess I've got that fear and so I did what you suggest what you are saying like using humor. I said, yeah, I get it. You know, I'm going to get your credit card and I'm going to get the money and I'm going to get out of the beach and drink pina coladas all day and drunk and laugh hysterically and the fact that people give me money to help them quit drinking while I'm lying on a beach drinking pina coladas and I kind of slid it in a joking way and he laughed as well and he said, okay I'm in and then he enrolled so I love that. That's so great. Yeah. So that's one of the ways you do it too. It sounds like yeah you use like humorous pattern interrupts with people. Yeah. Nice. And I needed myself. Yeah. It's funny as much as I some often get frustrated at people not getting the logic to take action. I'm guilty of it as well. Yeah. I really am. I'm guilty of it all the time. I make choices based on emotion and throw logic out the window. Me too. I'm the same. Yeah. I want to ask you about sleep because I know you're a master of sleep and I talk a lot about sleep and really I talk about a lot of our rituals with my clients and people on the podcast and it's such an underrated thing. Now it's slowly I think or maybe just because the bubble I live in but now it's slowly being talked about more but like sleep is such a powerful important tool to recover to think better to perform better to just have a better life and a lot of people think it's like let me sleep when I'm dead and just work all the time or not sleep or whatever so. I mean what got you into sleep and kind of I know you have your glasses by the way too we'll talk about but what got you into sleep? Yeah. I mean I have a sleep company called Swanix Sleep and we produce these blue light blocking glasses which if you're watching a video of this episode I'm wearing right now the orange lens blue blockers essentially. My product's name is Swanis and by the way for the people that aren't watching he's like in celebrity mode here. Thank you. Yeah I was in Palm Springs California 2015 and a friend of mine was wearing a really unsightly pair of safety goggles to dinner in a hotel restaurant and I was thinking to myself man he looks ridiculous and he's making me look ridiculous by association but he went on to explain he said no I'm trying to block the blue light and I said block the blue light what are you talking about and he went on to explain that artificial light from lights and mobile phones and screens and kitchen lights and refrigerator lights and microwave lights and traffic lights and car seat lights and all kinds of lights artificial light at night has blue light which at nighttime tricks our body and brain into thinking that it's still daytime. Yeah. Which means we don't produce as much melatonin and means that we don't naturally start to prepare for sleep and means that we don't fall asleep as quickly as we might and it means we don't sleep as well as we might. So I went home to my West Hollywood apartment at the time and I had a pair of old ski goggles that I used to wear when I went skiing each year in Park City, Utah and started watching reruns of the TV show Mad Men on AMC and what I noticed through these ridiculous looking ski goggles which had a kind of like a yellow tinge to it was that I got sleepier quicker and when I finally removed the goggles turned off the light and went to sleep when I woke up the next morning I was like oh actually I noticed that I fell asleep a little quicker and feel a little bit better. My sleep was actually a little bit better. The only problem was I had to wear a ridiculous pair of ski goggles in order to block the blue light and so I came up with this idea of creating a stylish pair of blue light blocking glasses and that's how Swanies was born it was literally like kind of take a Ray Van kind of cool looking stylish pair of sunglasses make them make blue blockers out of them so people don't look like a meth chemist every time they wear orange lens safety goggles and really inspire and encourage and motivate people to wear cool looking blue light blocking glasses which will have the end result of helping them sleep better so that's how it came to be they look really cool about it that's like something Bono would wear it's like the tint and the orange and the frames are cool too you know those are great. Yeah. How's your sleep? Mine's good because I'm excited to get the glasses you sent me by the way super stoked for that but it's better because I started wearing blue blockers and I started I also track it with this whoop wristband which is really nice so now I see my REM sleep and my deep sleep and things like that so it's something I've been conscious of getting better at for probably like the last two years now so and I noticed the difference. Yeah amazing so do you what's your sleep hygiene how do you prepare for sleep what do you do first thing in the morning yeah there's a great question so I'd say ideally I try to be asleep by 10 so I try to like start getting into bed by like 9.30 because I know how I am but if I'm not right it's just super hard IPMs I gotta slow down so try to like maybe have a glass cup of tea maybe read a book get in bed and just kind of kind of get into it and then eventually fall asleep probably within I like to read and drink tea for 15 minutes and then go to sleep and then when I wake up I and then I also like to I like to have the lights off all the time at night because I still want all the UV light going on but I'm also definitely wearing those glasses the orange tint at night then I have the yellow ones during the day and then in the morning I try to get about 5 and then I meditate or I journal or I go to the gym or I do a cool Tony Robbins priming exercise or I do some yoga I kind of give myself a little smorgasbord of choice depending on how I feel back in the day it used to be like very anal about it but now I like the flow and sometimes I just read a book too so but I usually take probably an hour or two to just really ramp up my mind my body and everything else hmm any other performance hacks if you like or performance techniques that you utilize throughout your day not just for sleep but for living an optimal life yeah I'd say well breath work is always powerful just maybe throughout the day whenever I feel I need to calm down a little bit doing some breathing patterns I love the cold plunges I don't have one here and it's too hot here in Puerto Rico to get really cold water but I do want to get like a big cold plunge tub so I can start doing that more juicing I love juicing man green juice juicing is a big one for me that's probably another really powerful thing I've been doing for that's been like 10 years now but that's just for energy and cleansing and all that that's been really powerful too yeah the cold plunge has been shown like cold water therapy has been shown to reduce levels of stress anxiety and depression I've read it does yeah and inflammation as well and it's really powerful and then breath work I was doing some Tony Robins desk kind of priming you know where you breathe in like yeah 20 times and then I breathe in really deeply held my breath and clenched my fists in my body and I actually passed out I fell off the chair I kind of came to and I realized that I'd fallen off the chair because my head had hit the ground and I had a little bruise on the thing so I like obviously I didn't know that I'd fainted or passed out until I came to so now I make sure that when I do the breath work I sit on a very comfy couch with like cushions all around me with no way to actually fall hold it and a helmet yeah and a helmet yeah but how does the breath work help you well it's true by the way like that happens right and that's why it is that shows how powerful it is right people passing out because it's so powerful it's literally playing with your whole your nervous system your brain your blood obviously and your oxygen so but I'd say how's it help me I kind of use it on a basic level like the Wim Hof stuff is I've done Wim Hof right like to kind of like the deeper stuff and I've done my friends are like really into breath work but I just I like to do the 80-20 with a lot of things right just as long as I'm consistent doing it like so I just do sometimes I do box breathing other times I do it like a one Tony taught me which is and for those of you that don't know box breathing you can just Google it real quick and it's very simple exercise you can do just for two minutes in the middle of your day to relax a little bit and then one Tony taught me was to stimulate your lymphatic system so I do that in the morning and kind of maybe in the afternoon and night usually and that's like a ratio of two what is it no one for two right so I breathe in so if I breathe in for four seconds I hold it for 16 and then I exhale for eight and I try that 10 times and the purpose that's really and you want to breathe into your diaphragm most people I'd say the big benefit if to answer your question that now I think that most people we breathe in our chest and a lot that's the big reason why a lot of people are anxious a lot but most people aren't really breathing in their belly so the cool thing about this it really just reminds me and trains me to breathe deep into my belly as well because that's where your diaphragm is and when your diaphragm is activated it stimulates the lymph system to do the duty work the work does and for those of you that don't know your lymph system does your lymph system cleanses your body of toxins and it's the only system in your body that isn't self activated every other one their circulatory system your obviously your musculoskeletal system all the other ones your respiratory or digestive there are all this automatically going subconsciously but your lymph system needs to be stimulated so that breath work is one way to stimulate it pretty powerfully so interesting yeah yeah do you have any do you have any other ways you like to yeah I mean my big thing is gratitude so I write down 20 things I'm grateful for every morning I'm just about to launch a new business called positive shift journal which is a daily gratitude journal and it rewires my brain into seeing all the opportunity and all the things to be grateful for and all of the neuroscience and studies shows us that when you live a life of appreciation instead of expectation stress reduces feelings of joy increase so I have this little thing where I don't wake up to the alarm in my phone I wake up to a little $5 alarm and when my alarm goes off I put my hand on the $5 alarm and not on my phone and I'm not allowed to put my hand on my phone until I've completed my daily 20 gratitude so only then am I allowed to go to my phone, turn it off airplane mode and start to do incessant scrolling which I'm guilty of as the next person but it's just a nice little hack that I have there to ensure that I'm starting the day in gratitude. That's great yeah that's gratitude man yeah there was like one thing that's gratitude is really the there isn't really one but gratitude is so powerful so core.

Lately, we've been talking more about more unorthodox forms of protest, following senators into bathrooms, showing up to their yachts on kayaks to confront them. And I think that's all really important if these people in power refuse to meet with their constituents, if they're actually doing things that hurt people. But not all protests is made equal. Some protests are actually bad, and quite frankly, they're stupid. So there have been protests in New York City over the vaccine mandates, and the vaccine mandates for teachers went into effect officially this week. And people are very angry about this. So they were marching in the streets, and approximately 8,000 teachers or people with the Department of Education of New York City are going to lose their jobs as a result of this. Now, that sounds like a large number, but it's actually a minority of the total people working for the education system in New York. But there was a large protest, they were marching through the streets of NYC. And at Union Square, there is a COVID testing tent. Now, people who were supposedly against vaccine mandates decided to target the COVID testing tent. You think that this wouldn't be relevant to what they're protesting about, because if you're against mandates, in theory, you should be in favor of testing, right? Because testing is what many people can do in lieu of getting vaccinated if they refuse to take the vaccine. But that's not what these people did. They chose to target this COVID testing tent. It's a mobile tent that is popped up to help people, to help slow the spread. And they trashed it. Take a look. It's really bizarre to me, because these people are supposedly against the vaccine mandates specifically, but yet they're booing a COVID testing tent and they're chanting shame on you. But wait, is this about vaccine mandates or COVID testing? Because you claim that you're protesting vaccine mandates, but yet you seem to be pretty offended by a mobile COVID testing tent. And shout out, by the way, to the guy who was doing the running man. That nurse is truly incredible. That is a Chad move right there. There's really no other way to respond to these people. These people are freaks. These people are genuinely misinformed. This isn't an image of that protest, my knowledge. It's from a different event. But look at how misinformed they are. NYS, freedom to fascism. So they believe that New York City was in a state of freedom until the vaccine mandates took effect. And then all of a sudden, boom, fascism. That's the way it works, apparently. Except vaccine mandates have always existed. They've always existed. They just don't like the COVID vaccine. And maybe many of them are anti-vax, period. They don't like any vaccines. Either way, this isn't some new phenomenon. So these people don't know what they're talking about. And even the thing that they were ostensibly protesting, vaccine mandates, well, they chose to target a COVID testing tent, which has nothing to do with mandates. If anything, that COVID testing tent helps them in many instances. Not necessarily here, because there's no test out option when it comes to the vaccine mandates pertaining to New York teachers. But still, getting tested is the way that you avoid the vaccine if you're an anti-vaxer. But yet they trashed the tent. I mean, this is why it's not about the vaccines. It's not about the vaccine mandates. This is about them believing that the government has no responsibility or authority whatsoever to take any measures to try to mitigate the spread of the virus. They're just COVID deniers, period. And they can hide behind medical freedom. They can hide behind what they believe is a violation of the Nuremberg codes, which it's not. They can hide behind their aversion to vaccine mandates and freedom. But these people are just COVID deniers at this point. And they are functionally fighting on the side of the virus. Otherwise, why else would you attack a COVID tent? You just want the virus to spread. You want less people to get tested. And you want more people to be exposed. And the reason why so many people are against vaccine mandates is because, guess what, they work. So as AP reports, a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for teachers and other staff members took effect in New York City's sprawling public school system Monday in a key test of the employee vaccination mandates now being rolled out across the country. Mayor Bill de Blasio said 95% of the city's roughly 148,000 public school staffers had received at least one vaccine dose as of Monday morning, including 96% of teachers and 99% of principals. Some 43,000 doses have been administered since the mandate was announced August 23rd. Bill de Blasio said vaccination rates rose in every school job category after the mandate was announced. District 37 of the American Federation of State, County and municipal employees, which represents some 20,000 city Department of Education employees, said 93% of those workers had provided proof of at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose as of Sunday up from 68% at the beginning of September. In other words, vaccine mandates don't just work. They work really damn well. They're very, very effective. And this isn't the first time that Americans have rebelled against some sort of a mandate in the name of freedom. We were having a really good conversation about this on Thursday on my Patreon chat, where before the last thing, before seatbelts, of course, was public smoking, right? People were so up in arms when they couldn't smoke indoors anymore. Then there was segregation functionally. There was smoking sections and non-smoking sections, and they were angered about that because they felt as if they were inferior to their peers because they had to be quarantined in some smoking section. But eventually smoking was just banned in all indoor spaces. And we still have freedom. Does anyone deny that we have freedom in America because you can't smoke indoors? No, it was a big deal. And then people moved on the same thing with seatbelts. There were literally people who claimed that they would wouldn't drive through states with seatbelt laws because they would not condone that violation of their freedom. Do you see anyone protesting the seatbelt laws now? I mean, when it comes to the original vaccine mandates that are required for your children to be enrolled in public schools, that was controversial. Not really a thing anymore. So this is just another chapter in the long history of Americans being dumb fucks and using their entitlement to not do what is in the interest of public health. But these people are the fringes. They are the minority. And history will view them as such. History will look down upon them. Polls show that there is broad support for vaccine mandates. So don't let these fringe lunatics trick you into thinking this is some new authoritarian thing or that it's unprecedented for our country. George fucking Washington supported vaccine mandates. George Washington. And I don't think that these flag-humping fuckwads would say that George Washington, founder of the country, is against freedom. Would they? As they chant 1776, this is not a new thing. It's not a new thing. Vaccine mandates are good and they're good because they're effective. And one of the main ways we're gonna get out of this pandemic is by vaccinating as many people as possible. Not just in the United States, but around the world. And it's especially grotesque to know how petulant Americans are being when you consider there are so many people, billions of people in other countries who are begging for a vaccine. And yet Americans are taking that for granted, this life-saving medical miracle for lack of a better word. They're protesting it. And the reason why they're so hostile towards that New York vaccine mandate is because it is more strict than other vaccine mandates. It still provides medical and religious exemptions. Medical exemptions are a necessity, of course. But religious exemptions, that shouldn't be a thing. That shouldn't be a thing. But one reason why they're mad is because this doesn't allow you to test out. So unlike other mandates, like the one that Joe Biden instituted and is doing through OSHA, you can test out, you can get weekly tests. But still, that isn't sufficient and that's not a good way to contain the spread of the virus because in that seven-day period you can get exposed to COVID, contracted and spread it to other people. So really the sure-fire way to contain the virus is to get vaccinated. And when you consider that a University of Oxford study just found that when it comes to the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines, they actually reduce transmission of COVID-19, including of the Delta variant, albeit to a lesser extent. Vaccinations isn't just about protecting yourself, it's about protecting others. It's a public health crisis. So vaccine mandates are good and those people there are absolutely petulant imbeciles. They're morons and history will remember them as just that.

Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with a two box break of 2019 and 2020 Panini Donner's Optic Basketball Mega box edition. Pick your team number five. Big thanks to all these folks who picked their teams really appreciate it And as you can see right here, the Pelicans are being given away So we'll grab all the names of the people who are in the break We'll move that blank spot out of the way Let's roll it. Let's randomize the name on top after six. We'll get the Pelicans in this two-boxer one two three four five There's six after six right here name on top is gonna be Matt Hedges congrats to Matthew After six you have the Pels there's your name right there Pelicans Little rooftop there, so that lets people know that you are the winner of that spot courtesy of thanks to random.org and now All we need is like One hollow Zion out of here In this mega box, you know 42 cards a box Out of the 84 cards one hollow Zion and then that'll make you pretty happy. I would think Alright, so there are is there are the names there are the teams I guess that one wants to be open first there you go and looks like all-card chip in this everything All the cards you see here will go Only 84 cards pretty easy. All right. Good luck everybody Cody Zeller hollow Jeff Teague Admiral Scofield raided rookie My house Trey young is Smith Rondo My house Joellen B. Slightly different parallel on the blue parallel nice Luca It's Julius Randall The regular my house is just have the silver in the letters. All right, so nothing super huge here What about these? hyperpaint parallels That's exclusive to this set They're not numbered But they are pretty nice if you get the right ones No, so nothing super huge there, but those will definitely ship All right. Come on second box. All right. Good luck with box two. Oh there's a Zion just a regular one, but Still nice nonetheless for Matthew hedges and a John Morant base and a Zion hollow There it is from a freaking mega box a hollow Zion and Matthew hedges one that Someone look up what these optic silvers go for John Morant still a base John Morant, but it's a nice one for Ryan Ryder. It's Tyler hero Joellen bead Kobe white raided rookie is solid too. All of these will shed LeBron James and the Wendell Carter junior checkerboard Which is a speciall as well pink hyper Vince is Vince is seeing 461 on ebay right now with 24 minutes with time left So what hollow hollow one probably finishes at what 550 600 Was it just under half an hour left? Tremont waters and quendery weather spoon But hey not too shabby pulling two Zions one of which was a silver and that John Morant right there So congrats again to Matthew hedges Won that spot and got lucky enough to get that Zion Big ups to you. Thanks everyone for watching Joe for jazzy's case breaks.com I'll see you next time. Bye. Bye

everyone also if you're watching this on YouTube later or if you're on Twitch here welcome welcome thanks for viewing phylogenic trees is going to be the next topic so phylogenic tree of life we all know that life on earth started from a single origin and then it kind of diverged into different clades which we now call bacteria, archaea and eukaryota so multi-cellular organisms the bacteria and the archaea which are the extremophiles so the animals living near like fountains or these these warm water sources on the bottom of the oceans so this is based on ribonosomal RNA data and when you make a tree like this phylogenetic tree based on our RNA then it emphasizes the separation of bacteria, archaea and eukaryota because ribosomal RNA is very very stable so it doesn't mutate very much and it stays very similar right because ribosomes are very essential parts so you can look back a long long way back in history if you would do the same thing for proteins you're not going to look back that much so if you if you look at other proteins which have recently evolved then you don't see this big split in bacteria or eukaryota so the idea of a phylogenetic tree if you look at a phylogenetic tree made of proteins then the branching diagram shows the inferred evolutionary relationship or the inferred evolutionary distance between or amongst different proteins of course a phylogenetic tree is based upon similarity in differences in sequence or in structure so you can make a because the amino acid sequence of a protein can change but the structure of this of the of the protein can remain the same right because you can change a long nonpolar fatty acid side chain by another long nonpolar fatty acid side chain and the protein doesn't really change so the sequence has changed but the structure did not change and when you look at a tree and so if you see tuxa which are joined together like here right so you see that Argea are joined at this point with eukaryota that means that at some point there was a common ancestor for both in the group right so here we can also see that for example if we look at animals and that there is a common ancestor between animals and plants and fungi but for example there's also a common ancestor between metanosargina and hollow files and which is more or less located here right so that's the idea of a phylogenetic tree so the idea behind the phylogenetic tree is that if you have two tuxa coming together so two of these three branches coming together then it implies that there is a common ancestor to these species alright so when we talk about these trees we have to talk about orthologs and homologies so the homologous sequence so a sequence which is deemed homologous like when you do homologous recognition is so an homologous sequence is called orthogolus if they are inferred to be descended from the same ancestral sequence separated by a speciation event right so if we have a duplication event within a single species then these two sequences are not orthologous but they are homologous so then there is a homology because they are they have the same kind of sequence but an orthologous sequence or orthology is strictly defined in terms of ancestry right and orthologs often but not always have the same function right so we have for example mice and human and both of these carry myostatin as a protein so the myostatin from mouse is an orthologous protein of a myostatin in human while within human you have myostatin and or not myostatin if you look at myoglobin and some other forms of myoglobin because hem myoglobin is the stuff that binds oxygen and blood but you have different proteins which also do like oxygen binding within a cell these are homologous proteins but they are not orthogolous because they occur in in a single species right so remember that when we talk about orthology we talk about speciation events so when when a single species splits into two species then the same protein which used to be in one species is now in two species so now these two proteins are called orthologous to make it even more complex we can say that two species so homologous sequences right so sequences which are highly homologous so which are very similar to each other they are called paralogue if they are created by a duplication event within the genome and then we define two types of paralogs even we define in paralogue so those are paralogs which arose after a speciation event and then we have out paralogs which are paralogue pairs that arose before a speciation event so and it's just a little bit of terminology because I when you build these trees then often people just assume that this tree is the relationship that it used to be but it or that that it really represents the relationship between species but it doesn't have to but by defining something as an in paralogue or an out paralogue hey you kind of annotate these trees with saying well no here we have the speciation event and a certain gene occurred or arose before or after it and this has to do so have paralogue a sequence our sequences that are created by a gene duplication event so the part of the DNA is just duplicated and then have we say that well when one did when this happened before then we are talking about out paralogs and when it happened after a speciation event occurred then we call it in paralogue so just as a picture to show you guys right so for example here we have the early global gene right and the early global gene at a certain point got duplicated into the genome so we have the early global gene which got duplicated and one of them became the alpha chain and the other one became the beta chain so now when we talk all of these sequence are homologs of each other because the alpha chain is very similar to the beta chain in globens it just has some minor amino acid changes but have when we talk about the alpha chain then of course the alpha chain is found in frogs and chickens and our frogs and chickens and mouse right and and the alpha chain existed because of the gene duplication event being here so an alpha chain an alpha gene an alpha chain gene is a homolog of a beta chain gene but the frog alpha chain is an orthologous gene to the chicken alpha and to the mouse alpha the same thing holds for the mouse beta the chicken beta and the frog beta but the mouse alpha and the mouse beta are called paralogs right because they are the same and so a paralogue is it's they are created by a duplication event right but because the duplication event was here before the speciation event we call these paralogs and since this duplication event was before then we actually call this an out paralogue so here we have in a single picture we have the difference between what a homolog is an ortholog and a paralogue right so a paralogue is the same homologous sequence in mouse an ortholog is the same homologous sequence in in two different species and to have the in and the out paralogs and the orthologs a little bit more clear let's say that we have an ancestral gene a right then the gene got duplicated so we now have a a bar and we have a bar bar right and now after this we have a lineage divergence right so the gene duplication event was here and then we have the divergent between different species for example species X I a one gene species why a a one gene then these two are called orthologous and these two are also called orthologous an in paralogue is now when we compare why a bar to why a bar bar right because this now the duplication event is before the lineage divergence and we call it an in paralogue when we look we call it an out paralogue when we look now I'm messing it up again so so tricky I hate that people call it like this and make like terminology so difficult alright so we start off an ancestral gene a gene a is duplicated into a bar and a bar bar a bar is then split by two different species right so if a speciation event after the gene duplication event so now we call a bar within the same species orthologous we when we compare a bar with a bar bar within the same species it's an in paralogue but when we compare it with with a different species then we call it an out paralogue I hope that it's clear I don't really like many of these definitions in a way but they are related to how we in biology or people in biology talk about proteins and homologous sequence and in paralogs being orthologous to each other so I hope it's a little bit clear I have two pictures so just look at the pictures and see and otherwise just ask a question about it next time then I will read up on it again and it's just confusing to make it even more confusing we also have something called a xenologue and xenologs are really interesting right because homologs resulting from horizontal gene transfer between two organisms are called xenologs and this occurs a lot in bacteria right so imagine that we have bacteria a for example E. coli right which has a certain antibiotic resistance gene right so what this E. coli can actually do is it can actually transfer it's or give its gene to another bacterial species right so here we have the the same gene now occurring in both species but E. coli gave it to another one either using horizontal gene transfer or our conjugation or some other method right generally like bacteria talk to each other through these little tubes and they exchange DNA with each other and so when this occurs we call this xenologue so we now see the exact same gene in two species so from a phylogenetic tree standpoint this would make the two species related to each other but they are not related to each other at all it's just that E. coli gave one of its genes to Sleptococcus right so this this in a phylogenetic tree had we would now see that oh okay so there has to be a common ancestor between Sleptococcus and E. coli but there actually isn't it is just because of a xenologue so a transfer of DNA from one species to the other and this happens more often than you think this also happens to more complex organisms not just bacteria DNA is actually something which is exchanged quite frequently by bacteria amongst each other but also by multi-cellular species so also multi-cellular species can exchange DNA making them look more similar to each other right so then you infer that oh there might be a common ancestor like one million years ago while actually that is not the case because the real common ancestor is like hundreds of millions of years ago and this is because of of xenologs so when we talk about horizontal gene transfer right from a bacteria to another bacteria then this can happen in different ways so the most common way is transformation this means that there is a bacteria which dies and part of the DNA from the bacteria like a bacterial plasmid like a little circle of DNA remains after the bacteria exploded right so we can have an E. coli bacteria it has a certain antibiotic resistance and at a certain point the bacteria kind of explodes or dies and it releases all of its DNA into the surrounding and then just some some streptococcus happens to be in the neighborhood and it just says oh nice little piece of DNA it serbs it in and just starts transcribing the DNA and now has the antibiotic resistance gene just because of the fact that it happened to encounter it in the environment another way which is more common is bacterial conjugation and this is when two bacteria make a little protein tube and start exchanging DNA with each other which is like strange because you would think that two bacteria of different species would not talk to each other or would not kind of be friends with each other but this is something that happens a lot right so conjugation is when a little protein tube is made and bacteria just start exchanging plasmids so these little circles of DNA which encode certain genes with each other so happens a lot furthermore we have transduction and transduction is something which happens by bacterial phages so a bacterial phage will be born in a bacteria right and this bacterial phage will then transfer genetic material from one bacteria to another bacteria so using the intermediate then it's called transduction of course there's another very common horizontal gene transfer method and that is just of course genetic engineering right in the lab we often give bacteria new properties like antibiotic resistance or other properties and we of course do this by just using plasmids and then using electroporesis to put the plasmids into the bacteria or we use like these little lipofactamine bubbles so we put the gene into a lipofactamine bubble and then merge this bubble with the bacterial cell but there are three natural ways of horizontal gene transfer transformation bacterial conjugation and transduction as well as genetic engineering which is a non-natural way of giving bacteria new properties and all of these methods will make two species look as if there is a common ancestor more early in the tree than that there actually is right because the DNA now is more similar because both of them have the exact same piece of DNA but this is not due to having a common ancestor but this is due to one of these horizontal gene transfer methods so all of these methods cause xenology right so a homologue from a horizontal gene transfer between two organisms all right so if we want to look at some of these so if we want to look at proteins and analyzing proteins and classifying them into families and predicting domains then one of the things that you can use is from the european bioinformatics institute interpro and i didn't really prepare an example but let's just look at the interpro website so you guys know that it exists and what you can actually do with it so let me show you firefox get rid of all of the weird pop-ups so here we have the interpro database right so if we go to search we can just search by sequence by text or by domain architecture we can also just browse right so we can say well just browse a certain protein which protein did i want to do let's do an example all right um we already had the insulin receptor right so let's just reuse the insulin receptor and then throw it into the interpro database right so we just give the insulin receptor and then we just say search and this should be relatively quick let me also see if the cctop prediction no cctop prediction did not finish yet so take some time bioinformatics is a like field where you just have to wait for things to do because you're always like in this case you're relying on someone else's computer doing the analysis and and the computer might be busy um so how are you might be in a queue just waiting until you can get serviced i should have actually probably just browse for human hemoglobin as well as we oh insulin receptor that is not going very well either like never do a live demo right that's that's how the saying goes that if you do a live demo then all of a sudden everything starts not not working at all why is this not doing anything yeah i agree with this stupid cookie always when ah nice at least this one finished right so we can look at the results right so here we see that we what is mismatch version i didn't choose any version anyway so here we can see that the insulin receptor from humans the one that we just uploaded is a protein right so and this protein has 1382 amino acids right and it is classified in a certain family because it is called tir kinase insulin like receptor right it is also part of the family insulin receptors right so um if we look at amino acid 5 to 138 and then we see that this whole thing is part of a family which is logical because insulin receptors are very common right but then if we look at the protein itself then we see that the protein consists more or less of three different parts so three different domains right so one of the domains here is a receptor l domain which is then split or found multiple times so you can see that here on the domain from amino acid 52 to 470 there is a receptor l domain if you want to learn more about it you can just click on it see the description and stuff here we see that there's an fn3 domain and here we see that there's a protein kinase domain right so protein kinases are there to cut proteins so we can we can see that this one is more or less split into three parts we have also a chemokin receptor and so we can learn more or less how this protein is structured and organized and we can also see that there are several repeats right like a furion repeat into the thing we can see that there's a conserved site here and which is a very so a conserved site is something which is which is the same in many many different species and this is again part of the therazine kinase 2 receptor we see that the active site has been determined to be here so this is where the insulin binds to the receptor that happens somewhere between 1155 and amino acid 1176 we see that there's a binding site so oh no so this is the active site so this is the site that actually transmits the signal after binding and here we see the binding site so this is where the insulin binds the receptor then we have here an integrated part so these are all predictions and here we see that there's more predictions for different signal peptides and transmembrane parts right so here there's a transmembrane area where so part of the insulin receptor is outside of of the cell and part of it is inside in the cytosol and here we have a transmembrane region so this is the region of the protein which goes through furthermore it gives us which biological process which molecular function and which cellular component it it has been classified into and of course we can we can click on all of these things and learn more about them let me actually yeah so we can have we can zoom into the region of the protein and then we can continue with searching with Interpro or with the HMMMR to do a prediction of the secondary structure of the protein um I actually wanted you guys to see is when we look at for example the binding site I had that's not what I wanted I wanted to just get the overview of the oh no that doesn't have that because I just searched with the new protein that is annoying normally when you take a protein which is known and you just go to the database then it will also show you which mutations are known within this protein but it's an it's an interesting website to see okay so I had this is a known domain in my protein and based on the protein kinase domain this protein has a certain function based on the domain here it also we can assume that this function is shared with other proteins as well as the furin like cis rich domain and of course we can click on it and go through if we want to learn more about the domains we can actually click here right so this is a receptor l domain the structure of the first three domains blah blah blah and head so it gives you overview references where you want to look further anyway interpro it's a good website if you want to learn more about protein domains or if you want to learn more about protein structure so did it actually finish the rows probably not no it's still running in the background all right so if you want to learn more about proteins so if you just want to read something then go to this big picture learning it has a special issue on proteins and it's a relatively good link to find more about proteins it's it's quite good what I like more is the second link which are the paper models so the paper models come from pdb the database which is there for proteins so that's the old protein database which was actually founded in the 1970s and if you and because 3d structures everything one of the nice things is is that for example the trna paper model so you can just download the pdf you print it and then you can you can fold it yourself so you can see which parts of the protein fold back on themselves and they actually have a nice youtube video on how to do this and you it's based on this pdb structure so pdb they have this really nice funny thing where you can fold your own proteins so they have a whole bunch of them so you can fold an antibody or you can do some dna or you can for example fold the human papillomavirus or the g protein coupled receptor so really interesting website pdb itself is actually a very very good website for so the pdb website the main website not the learning website actually it allows you to see protein structures so where are the alpha helices so again you can do your own prediction or you can just say well i want to know more about insulin receptor right so if you look at the insulin receptor then they have here different different crystal structures which are made of the insulin receptor and then here you can see indeed that this is crystallography of an active loop mutant of the insulin receptor and so you can click on it and then again it gives you an overview of the so it gives you the the structure which you can actually view in 3d as well and then it gives you literature not just that but if you go down you can see for each of the parts of the protein if there are no mutations the hydropathy so high if the part of the protein is actually liking water or not liking water so the more at the more high the more hydrophilic it is the more likely it is to be on the outside the higher the hydropathy the the more likely it is to be on the inside of the molecule and they have the pay from domain right so this is the the pay from domain which is again related to the interpro domain so and then here you can see downstairs downstairs you can see all the way down and that there are for example experimental data where you can see how well the structure was determined so it's a really interesting website to kind of look through and hey you can also see that in this case there was a magnesium 2 plus iron in there so it's just if you want to know more about proteins in general then had pdb is the place to go and had just searched for your protein and there's all kinds of links to all kinds of different websites if you want to learn more but it's a really interesting website and of course they have the proteins that you can fold yourself right and that's the nice thing because then you can just do it at home and for example i would definitely fold the tRNA so that's one that i did myself and that's actually really interesting because if you look at the pdf and then here you have the the template if you want to do it in black and white if you want to do it in color and the only thing that you do is you just have to cut these out and then you glue them together on the right position and then in the end you have a really nice tRNA with the acceptor loop and the anti-codon loop and here you have the thing done all right so i think that's it for today let me switch back to the powerpoint so yeah that's it for today so i told you a little bit about the history of proteins not so much about the history of proteins but about the history of like methods that we use for protein determination i talked to you about protein structure so what is the primary structure have primary structure is done by atomic bonding what is the secondary structure secondary structure we take into account hydrogen bonds the tertiary structure we take into account ionic bonding and we take into account hydrophobicity or the hydrophilicity of the protein so have which parts like to clump together because they are all hydrophobic and which parts are clumping or are on the outside because they like being in water i told you about purification and identification so head that there are four different protein purification techniques and that you can identify proteins using mass spec and nuclear nmr and other methodologies i told you about functional prediction so have i told you about that proteins are consisting of protein domains and that based on the protein domains you can actually figure out what a protein is doing and i told you about that there are 60 000 different protein families so proteins that are very similar are part of the same family and again that helps you understand if you are looking into a protein what your protein might be doing i told you a little bit about phylogenetic trees phylogenetic trees will come back also how to make them yourself for example using r we did one in the beginning using haklis but there are many many different methods to make phylogenetic trees i told you a little bit about homology and all of the different and confusing terms that are there like an ortholog a powder lock an exanolock so for the exam just a little tip know that i'm not going to ask in detail about in paralogs and out paralogs and stuff i just want you to know what that an ortholog is different from a powder lock why it is different and what why a xenolock is different from a powder lock and of course remember that xenologs are important because they make it seem that the shared ancestor is actually closer than that it actually is and this happens a lot in bacteria where bacteria exchange DNA with one another all right so that's it for today are there any questions remarks suggestions and other things if not then here's the beautiful guinea pig i drew today are there already dates for the exam yes and no yes i submitted dates to the exam no i'm still waiting for an answer for the prüfunksbüro so um yes i submitted dates but no they are not confirmed yet so once they're confirmed i will let you guys of course know when the example be and there's still a little bit of struggle with the prüfunksbüro because they want me to do the exam in person and um verbal so oral exams um but i just want you guys to do a written exam and not that i don't want to see you guys that's not the issue it's just that i don't think that uh it makes much sense to do an oral exam for something like bioinformatics but as soon as there are then i will send around an email um and then you will know exactly when the exam is good then at least i will stop the recording for um youtube yeah no problem genie so people on youtube see you on the next lecture which is going to be lecture six lecture six is going to be about let me see mathematics so lecture six is going to be about um either metabolomics and pathways or about programming in r um that depends a little bit on you guys and also on you guys on on youtube so um probably we will have a little vote um so i will probably do a vote on moodle for you guys to determine which one of the two lectures you like to see more but the next logical lecture because we did dna we did RNA we did proteins um then the next logical lecture would be to do metabolites and pathways and information about those good so people on youtube um see you on the flip side

When we decide someone's nice or well-meaning, we choose to suffer it out, we suffer it out, stop suffering it out because you've said this person's well-meaning when what the truth is, they are a boundary violating human in your life and you should stop suffering it out, draw a line and cut that energy out of your life because the longer you don't do it, the thicker you will get, the more emotionally toxic you will get by tolerating it.

Integrating Azure Functions Using Auth0 Actions
|
Note: This video was originally published on January 6, 2022.
Calling custom Azure functions after users authenticate has never been easier!
Daniel Krzyczkowski is a member of our Auth0 by Okta Ambassador program. In this video, he will show how easy it is to call an Azure function after a user authenticates. We get to see everything from the Azure function code, how to get the URL for the function within the Azure dashboard, how to call that function within an Auth0 Action, how to add the Action to the login flow, and then he will demo it out for us. All of this in less than 10 minutes!

Hello everyone, it's Daniel, OutZero Ambassador. In this video, I would like to show you how to integrate OutZero actions with Azure Functions available in the Azure Cloud. Before we start, let me just clarify. Azure Functions is serverless offering available in the Azure Cloud, which enables you to run your applications without worrying about underlying infrastructure. When it comes to the OutZero actions, you can use them to, for instance, call external web API once the user is created in the OutZero tenant. So in this specific video, I would like to show you how to call Azure Functions once the user is registered in the OutZero tenant. So let's see how to do it. Let me start with the Azure Function app source So as you can see currently on the screen, this is just a simple HTTP triggered Azure Function app. It means that we can send HTTP requests to this function app. This function app can do something with this request, can process this request and return HTTP response. So as you can see here, we want to send the user ID in the body of the request and we want to log this information. Of course, in a real-world scenario, you could call external system, you could create account in this system with this specific user ID provided from the OutZero. So this function app will be called once the user is registered in the OutZero tenant. So we want to send user ID in the request, we want to log this information and we want to return HTTP response. And that's it. So now let's go to the OutZero dashboard. Here is my OutZero tenant and dashboard where I can create new OutZero actions. So from the left side, we can click actions and then select flows. As you can see, we can create actions for different flows. So we can execute action when user is signing in, we can execute action before the user is created in the OutZero tenant, and also we can define action that will be executed once the user is registered in the OutZero tenant. So in this case, in this specific video, we will see how to call Azure Function app once the user is created in the OutZero tenant. So we will use post user registration flow. So right now, let me just show you really quickly what's happening in the Azure portal. Here it is, Azure portal and my Azure Function app where I deployed the source code that I showed you before. So before we can call this Azure Function app from the OutZero actions, we have to deploy it to the Azure cloud. In this video, I will not present how to deploy Azure Functions, but I want you to know that before I can call it from my action, I have to deploy it to the Azure cloud. So here is my Azure Function. When I click it from the left side, I can click functions. Here is my function that I created. I can click it. And here, here is the Get Function URL. So I will copy it because I will use this URL in the OutZero action, which I will show you just in a minute. Here is the OutZero dashboard once again. And from the left side, under Actions, we have to select Library. And this is the place where we can create new OutZero actions. We can either use one of the actions provided by OutZero, so existing action, or we can build our custom action in the OutZero dashboard. So as you can see here, we can provide the name for the action. We can decide when this action will be triggered. So there are those different flows I mentioned before. In this video, we will focus on the post user registration. So we want to call Azure Functions once the user is created in the OutZero tenant. And of course, we have to select the node runtime. So in this case, it's version 16. So here, under Custom tab, I already created the OutZero action. I called it Register User in External System. So let me show you this. I will click three dots here, and I will select Details. As you can see here, here is the source code of my action. So what will happen, this source code will be executed once the new user is registered in the OutZero tenant. So in this code, we want to get the user ID, so the ID of the newly created user in the OutZero tenant, and we want to call our Azure Function app with this user ID passed in the request body. So as you can see here, here is the URL that I copied from the Azure Portal, and I will paste this URL here to call my Function app with the user ID. So once the user is created in the OutZero tenant, then I will post the user ID to my Function app. So once the source code is ready, we can either save the draft of this OutZero action, or we can just deploy it to use it in one of the flows. So in this case, in the flow related to post user registration. So we have to click Deploy. I've already done it. And right now, we have to get back to Flows tab. And here we have to click Post User Registration. And this is the place where we can add different actions to this specific post user registration flow. So from the right side, if we select Custom tab, here we can see that there is my register user in external system, OutZero action. I can drag and drop it here before start and complete. And I can click Apply button. And right now, once the user is created in the OutZero tenant, OutZero will call Azure Function app to pass the user ID. So let's test this flow right now. Testing is really simple. From the left side, we have to select Getting Started. And then click Try it out. And here is the login page of my OutZero tenant. Let's switch to Sign Up tab. Let's provide the email. Let's provide some password. There are two additional questions. So let's provide the name of the band to be tester. And the instrument that I play is guitar. And let's click Sign Up. And right now, the user is created in the OutZero tenant. And also my Azure Function should be called. So let's check the Azure Function logs to see whether there is the user ID that I created right now. Here is the page with the logs from my Azure Function. And I can see here that my function was successfully triggered and received the ID of the newly created user. So let's copy this ID of the user. And let's check in the OutZero tenant whether such user exists. Here is the user management blade in the OutZero dashboard. And I can see that this is my newly created user. If I paste the user ID that I copied from the Azure Functions log, I can see that this is exactly the same user ID that was passed to the Azure Function. Great. So now we know how to call Azure Functions from OutZero Actions. I hope you enjoyed this video as much as I did. And you learned something interesting and helpful. If you would like to learn more about OutZero Actions, I encourage you to check the links provided in this video. Thank you so much for watching.

This is Section 4 of Mark Twain's travel letters from 1891 to 1992. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. An Austrian Health Factory, by Mark Twain. Read by John Greenman, with help from Eberhard Schneider. This place is the village of Marienbad Bohemiel. It seems no very great distance from Anassi in Haute Savoie to this place. You make it in less than thirty hours by these continental express trains, but the changes in the scenery are great. They are quite out of proportion to the distance covered. From Anassi by Ex to Geneva you have blue lakes with bold mountains springing from their borders and far glimpses of snowy wastes lifted against the horizon beyond, while all about you is a garden cultivated to the last possibility of grace and beauty, a cultivation which doesn't stop with handy lower levels, but is carried right up to the sheer steeps and propped there with ribs of masonry and made to stay there in spite of Newton's law. Beyond Geneva, beyond Lausanne, at any rate, you have for a while a country which noticeably resembles New England, and seems out of place, and like an intruder, an intruder who is wearing his everyday clothes at a fancy dress-ball. But presently on your right huge green mountain ramparts rise up, and after that, for hours, you are absorbed in watching the rich shadow effects which they furnish, and are only dolly aware that New England is gone, and that you are flying past quaint and unspeakably old towns and towers. Next day you have the Lake of Zurich, and presently the Rhine is swinging by you. How clean it is, how clear it is, how blue it is, how green it is, how swift and rollicking and insolent is its gait and style, how vivid and splendid its colours, beautiful wreck and chaos of all the soap bubbles in the universe. A person born on the Rhine must worship it. I saw the blue Rhine sweep along, I heard or seemed to hear, the German songs we used to sing in chorus, sweet and clear. Yes, that is where his heart would be, that is where his last thoughts would be, the soldier of the Legion who lay dying in Algiers. And by and by you are in a German region which you discover to be quite different from the recent Swiss lands behind you. You have a sea before you, that is to say, the green land goes rolling away in ocean swells to the horizon. And there is another new feature. Here and there at wide intervals you have islands, hills two hundred and three hundred feet high of a haystack form that rise abruptly out of the green plain and are wooded solidly to the top. On the top there is just room for a ruined castle. And there it is every time. Above the summit you see the crumbling arches and broken towers projecting. Beyond Stuttgart next day you find other changes still. By and by, approaching and leaving Nuremberg and down by a new house, your landscape is humped everywhere with scattered knobs of rock, unsociable crags of a rude tower-like look and thatched with grass and vines and bushes. And now and then you have gorges too of a modest pattern as to size, with precipice walls curiously carved and honeycombed by, I don't know what, but water no doubt. The changes are not done yet. For the instant the country finds it is out of Württemberg and into Averia it discards one more thickness of soil to go with previous disrobings and then nothing remains over the bones but the shift. There may be a poorer soil somewhere, but it is not likely. A couple of hours from Beirut you cross into Bohemia and before long you reach this Marienbad and recognize another sharp change, the change from the long ago to today. That is to say from the very old to the spick and span new, from an architecture totally without shapeliness or ornament to an architecture attractively equipped with both, from universal dismalness as to color to universal brightness and beauty of tint, from a town which seems made up of prisons to a town which is made up of gracious and graceful mansions proper to the light of heart and crime-less. It is like jumping out of Jerusalem into Chicago. The more I think of these many changes the more surprising the thing seems. I have never made so picturesque a journey before and surely there cannot be another trip of like length in the world that can furnish so much variety and of so charming and interesting a sort. There are only two or three streets here in this snug pocket in the Hemlock Hills, but they are handsome. When you stand at the foot of a street and look up the slant of it you see only block fronts of graceful pattern with happily broken lines and the pleasing accent of bay projections and balconies in orderly disorder and harmonious confusion and always the color is fresh and cheery, various shades of cream with softly contrasting trimmings of white and now and then a touch of dim red. These blocks are all thick walled, solid, massive, tall. For this is Europe, but it is the brightest and newest looking town on the continent and as pretty as anybody could require. The steep hills spring high aloft from the very back doors and are clothed densely to their tops with hemlocks. In Bavaria everybody is in uniform and you wonder where the private citizens are, but here in Bohemia the uniforms are very rare. Occasionally one catches a glimpse of an Austrian officer but it is only occasionally. Uniforms are so scarce that we seem to be in a republic. Almost the only striking figure is the Polish Jew. He is very frequent. He is tall and of grave countenance and wears a coat that reaches to his ankle bones and he has a little weak curl or two in front of each ear. He has a preposterous look and seems to be as much respected as anybody. The crowds that drift along the promenade at music-time twice a day are fashionably dressed after the Parisian pattern and they look a good deal alike but they speak a lot of languages which you have not encountered before and no ignorant person can spell their names and they can't pronounce them themselves. Marienbad, Mary's bath. The Mary is the Virgin. She is the patroness of these curative springs. They try to cure everything, gout, rheumatism, leanness, fatness, dyspepsia and all the rest. The whole thing is the property of a convent and has been for six hundred or seven hundred years. However, there was never a boom here until a quarter of a century ago. A tough health drill. If a person has the gout, this is what they do with him. They have him out at five-thirty in the morning and give him an egg and let him look at a cup of tea. At six he must be at his particular spring with his tumbler hanging at his belt and he will have plenty of company there. At the first note of the orchestra he must lift his tumbler and begin to sip his dreadful water with the rest. He must sip slowly and be a long time at it. Then he must tramp about the hills for an hour or so and get all the exercise and fresh air possible. Then he takes his tub or wallows in his mud if mud baths are his sort. By noon he has a fine appetite and the rules allow him to turn himself loose now and satisfy it, so long as he is careful and eats only such things as he doesn't want. He puts in the afternoon walking the hills and filling up with fresh air. At night he is allowed to take three ounces of any kind of food he doesn't like and drink one glass of any kind of liquor that he has a prejudice against. He may also smoke one pipe if he isn't used to it. At nine-thirty sharp he must be in bed and his candle out. Repeat the whole thing next day. I don't see any advantage in this over having the gout. In the case of most diseases that is about what one is required to undergo. And if you have any pleasant habit that you value, they want that. They want that the first thing. They make you drop everything that gives an interest to life. Their idea is to reverse your whole system of existence and make a regenerating revolution. If you are a Republican, they make you talk free trade. If you are a Democrat, they make you talk protection. If you are a prohibitionist, you have got to go to bed drunk every night till you get well. They spare nothing. They spare nobody. Reform, reform, that is their whole song. If a person is an orator, they gag him. If he likes to read, they won't let him. If he wants to sing, they make him whistle. They say they can cure any ailment and they do seem to do it. But why should a patient come all the way here? Why shouldn't he do these things at home and save the money? No disease would stay with a person who treated it like that. I didn't come here to take baths. I only came to look around. But first one person and then another began to throw out hints, and pretty soon I was a good deal concerned about myself. One of these gouties here said I had a gouty look about the eye. Next a person who has Qatar of the intestines asked me if I didn't notice the little dim sort of stomach ache when I sneezed. I hadn't before, but I did seem to notice it then. A man that's here for heart disease said he wouldn't come downstairs so fast if he had my build and aspect. A person with an old gold complexion said a man died here in a mud bath last week that had a petrified liver. Good deal, such a looking man as I am. And the same initials. And so on and so on. Of course there was nothing to be uneasy about and I wasn't what you may call really uneasy, but I was not feeling very well, that is, not brisk, and I went to bed. I suppose that that was not a good idea because then they had me. I started in at the upper end of the mill and went through. I am said to be all right now and free from disease, but this does not surprise me. What I have been through in these two weeks would free a person of pretty much everything in him that wasn't nailed there, any loose thing, any unattached fragment of bone, or meat, or morals, or disease, or propensities, or accomplishments, or what not. And I don't say but that I feel well enough. I feel better than I would if I was dead, I reckon. And besides, they say that I am going to build up now and come right along and be all right. I am not saying anything, but I wish I had enough of my diseases back to make me aware of myself and enough of my habits to make it worthwhile to live, to have nothing to matter with you, and no habits is pretty tame, pretty colorless. It is just the way a saint feels, I reckon. It is at least the way he looks. I never could stand a saint. That reminds me that you see very few priests around here, and yet, as I have already said, this whole big enterprise is owned and managed by a convent. The few priests one does see here are dressed like human beings, and so there may be more of them than I imagine. Fifteen priests dressed like these could not attract as much of your attention as would one priest at Aix-les-Bains. You cannot pull your eye loose from the French priests so long as he is in sight. His dress is so fascinatingly ugly. A singular climate. I seem to be wandering from the subject, but I am not. This is about the coldest place I ever saw, and the wettest, too. This August seems like an English November to me. Rain? Why, it seems to like to rain here. It seems to rain every time there is a chance. You are strictly required to be out airing and exercising whenever the sun is shining. So I hate to see the sun shine, because I hate air and exercise. Duty air and duty exercise taken for medicine. It seems ungenuine. Out of season. Degraded to sordid utilities, a subtle spiritual something gone from it, which one can't describe in words, but don't you understand? With that something gone, what is left is but canned air, canned exercise, and you don't want it. When the sun does shine for a few moments or a few hours, these people swarm out and flock through the streets and over the hills and through the pine woods and make the most of the chance. And I have flocked out too on some of those occasions, but as a rule I stay in and try to get warm. And what is therefore means besides heavy clothing and rugs and the polished white tomb that stands lofty and heartless in the corner and thinks it is a stove? Of all the creations of human insanity this thing is the most forbidding. Whether it is heating the room or isn't, the expression is the same, cold indifference. You can't tell which it is doing without going and putting your hand on it. They burn little handfuls of kindling in it, no substantial wood and no coal. The fire burns out every fifteen minutes, and there is no way to tell when this has happened. On these dismal days with the rain steadily falling it is no better company than a corpse. A roaring hickory fire with the cordial flames leaping up the chimney, but I must not think of such things they make a person homesick. This is a most strange place to come to get rid of disease. That is what you think most of the time, but in the intervals when the sun shines and you are tramping the hills and are comparatively warm you get to be neutral, maybe even friendly. I went up to the Auschigstern the other day. This is a tower which stands on the summit of a steep Hemlock mountain here, a tower which there isn't the least use for because the view is as good at the base of it as it is at the top of it. But Germanic people are just mad for views, they never get enough of a view. If they owned Mont Blanc they would build a tower on top of it. The roads up that mountain through that Hemlock forest are hard-packed and smooth, and the grades are easy and comfortable. They are for walkers, not for carriages. You move through deep silence and twilight, and you seem to be in a million-column temple. Whether you look up the hill or down it, you catch glimpses of distant figures flitting without sound, appearing and disappearing in the dim distances among the stems of the trees, and it is all very spectral and solemn and impressive. Now and then the gloom is accented and sized up to your comprehension in a striking way. A ray of sunshine finds its way down through and suddenly calls your attention, for where it falls, far up the hill slope in the brown duskiness, it lays a stripe that has a glare like lightning. The utter stillness of the forest depths, the soundless hush, the total absence of stir or motion of any kind in leaf or branch are things which we have no experience of at home, and consequently no name for in our language. At home there would be the plant of insects and the twittering of birds and vagrant breezes would quiver the foliage. Here it is the stillness of death. This is what the Germans are forever talking about, dreaming about, and despairingly trying to catch and imprison in a poem or a picture or a song. There adored vault unsamkite, loneliness of the woods. But how catch it? It has not a body, it is a spirit. We don't talk about it in America, or dream of it, or sing about it, because we haven't it. Certainly there is something wonderfully alluring about it beguiling, dreamy, unworldly. Where the gloom is softest and richest and the peace and stillness deepest far upon the sides of that hemlock mountain, a spot where Goethe used to sit and dream is marked by a granite obelisk. And on its side is carved this famous poem, which is the master's idea of vault unsamkite. Über allen Gipfeln ist Ruhe. In allen Wipfeln spürst du kaum einen Hauch. Die Vögel ein schweigen im Walde. Warte nur, Balde ruest du auch. It is raining again now, however it was doing that before. I have been over to the establishment and had a tub bath with two kinds of pine juice in it. These fill the room with a pungent and most pleasant perfume. They also turn the water to the color of ink and cover it with snowy suds two or three inches deep. The bath is cool, about seventy-five degrees or eighty degrees Fahrenheit, and there is a cooler shower bath after it. While waiting in the reception room all by myself, two men came in and began to talk. Politics, literature, religion? No. They're ailments. There is no other subject here, apparently. Wherever two or three of these people are gathered together, there you have it every time. The first that can get his mouth open contributes his disease and the condition of it, and the others follow with theirs. The two men just referred to were acquaintances and they followed the custom. One of them was built like a gasometer and here to reduce his girth. The other was built like a derrick and is here to fat up as they express it at this resort. They were well satisfied with the progress they were making. The gasometer had lost a quarter of a ton in ten days and showed the record on his belt with pride, and he walked briskly across the room smiling in a vast and luminous way like a harvest moon, and said he couldn't have done that when he arrived here. He buttoned his coat around his equator and showed how loose it was. It was pretty to see his happiness. It was so childlike and honest. He set his feet together and leaned out over his person and proved that he could see them. He said he hadn't seen them from that point before for fifteen years. He had a hand like a boxing glove and on one of his fingers he had just found a diamond ring which he had missed eleven years ago. The minute the derrick got a chance he broke in and began to tell how he was piling on blubber right along three quarters of an ounce every four days and he was still piping away when I was sent for. I left the fat man standing there panting and blowing and swelling and collapsing like a balloon, his next speech already and urgent for delivery. The patients are always at that sort of thing, trying to talk one another to death. The fat ones and the lean ones are nearly the worst at it, but not quite. The dyspeptics are the worst. They are at it all day and all night and all along. They have more symptoms than all the others put together and so there is more variety of experience, more change of condition, more adventure and consequently more play for the imagination, more scope for lying and in every way a bigger field to talk. Go where you will, hide where you may, you cannot escape that word, liver. You overhear it constantly, in the street, in the shop, in the theatre, in the music grounds. Wherever you see two or a dozen people of ordinary bulk talking together you know they are talking about their livers. When you first arrive here your new acquaintances seem sad and hard to talk to, but pretty soon you get the lay of the land and the hand of things and after that you haven't any more trouble. You look into the dreary dull eye and softly say, well, how's your liver? You will see that dim eye flash up with a grateful flame and you will see that jaw begin to work and you will recognize that nothing is required of you from this out but to listen as long as you remain conscious. After a few days you will begin to notice that out of these people's talk a gospel is framing itself and next you will find yourself believing it. It is this, that a man is not what his rearing, his schooling, his beliefs, his principles make him. He is what his liver makes him, that with a healthy liver he will have the clear-seeing eye, the honest heart, the sincere mind, the loving spirit, the loyal soul, the truth and trust and faith that are based as Gibraltar is based and that with an unhealthy liver he must and will have the opposite of all these. He will see nothing as it really is. He cannot trust anybody or believe in anything. His moral foundations are gone from under him. Now isn't that interesting? I think it is. Two days ago, perceiving that there was something unusual the matter with me, I went around from doctor to doctor but without a veil. They said they had never seen this kind of symptoms before, at least not all of them. They had seen some of them but differently arranged. It was a new disease as far as they could see. Apparently it was scruffulous, but of a new kind. That was as much as they felt able to say. Then they made a stethoscopic examination and decided that if anything would dislodge it, a mud-bath was the thing. It was a very ingenious idea. I took the mud-bath and it did dislodge it. Here it is. I ask not, is thy heart still sure, thy love still warm, thy faith secure? I ask not, dreams thou still of me, longst away to fly with me? Ah, no. But as the sun included all the good gifts of the Giver, I sum all those in asking thee, O sweetheart, how is your liver? For if thy liver worketh right, thy faith stands sure, thy hope is bright, their dreams are sweet and I, their God, doubt threats in vain, thou scorned his rod, keep only thy digestion clear, no other foe, my love doth fear. But indigestion hath the power to mar the soul's serenest hour, to crumble at a mantine trust, and turn its certainties to dust, to dim the eye with nameless grief, to chill the heart with unbelief, to banish hope and faith and love, place heaven below and hell above. Then list, details are not to me, so thou'st the sum gift of the Giver. I ask thee all in asking thee, O darling, how is your liver? Yes, it is easy to say, it is scruffulous, but I don't see the signs of it. In my opinion it is as good poetry as I have ever written. Experts say it isn't poetry at all, because it lacks the element of fiction. But that is the voice of envy, I reckon. I call it good medical poetry, and I consider that I am a judge. One of the most curious things in these countries is the street manners of the men and women. In meeting you they come straight on without swerving a hair's breadth from the direct line, and wholly ignoring your right to any part of the road. At the last moment you must yield up your share of it and step aside, or there will be a collision. I noticed this strange barbarism first in Geneva twelve years ago. In Aix-les-Bains, where sidewalks are scarce and everybody walks in the streets, there is plenty of room. But that is no matter. You are always escaping collisions by mere quarter inches. A man or woman who is headed in such a way as to cross your course presently without a collision will actually alter his direction shade by shade and compel a collision, unless at the last instant you jump out of the way. Those folks are not dressed as ladies and gentlemen, and they do not seem to be consciously crowding you out of the road. They seem to be innocently and stupidly unaware that they are doing it. But not so in Geneva. There, this class, especially the men, crowd out men, women, and girls of all rank and raiment consciously and intentionally, crowd them off the sidewalk and into the gutter. There was nothing of this sort in Bayreuth. But here, well, here the thing is astonishing. Collisions are unavoidable unless you do all the yielding yourself. Another odd thing. Here this savagery is confined to the folk who wear the fine clothes. The others are courteous and considerate. A big burly comanche, with all the signs about him of wealth and education, will tranquilly force young ladies to step off into the gutter to avoid being run down by him. It is a mistake that there is no bath that will cure people's manners. But drowning would help. However, perhaps one can't look for any real, showy amount of delicacy of feeling in a country where a person is brought up to contemplate without a shudder the spectacle of women harnessed up with dogs and hauling carts. The woman is on one side of the pole, the dog on the other, and they bend to the work and tug and pant and strain, and the man tramps leisurely alongside and smokes his pipe. Often the woman is old and grey, and the man is her grandson. The Austrian national ornithological device ought to be replaced by a grandmother harnessed to a slush cart with a dog. This merely in the interest of fact. Heraldic fancy has been a little too much overworked in these countries anyway. Lately one of those curious things happened here which justify the felicitous extravagances of the stage and help us to accept them. A despondent man, bankrupt, friendless and desperate, dropped a dose of strychnia into a bottle of whisky and went out in the dusk to find a handy place for his purpose, which was suicide. In a lonely spot he was stopped by a tramp, who said he would kill him if he didn't give up his money. Instead of jumping at the chance of getting himself killed and thus saving himself the impropriety and annoyance of suicide, he forgot all about his late project and attacked the tramp in a most sturdy and valiant fashion. He made a good fight, but failed to win. The night passed, the morning came, and he woke out of unconsciousness to find that he had been clubbed half to death and left to perish at his leisure. Then he reached for his bottle to add the finishing touch. But it was gone. He pulled himself together and went limping away and presently came upon the tramp, stretched out stone dead, with the empty bottle beside him. He had drunk the whisky and committed suicide innocently. Now, while the man who had been cheated out of his suicide stood there bemoaning his hard luck and wondering how he might manage to raise money enough to buy some more whisky and poison, some people of the neighborhood came by and he told them about his curious adventure. They said that this tramp had been the scourge of the neighborhood and the dread of the constabulary. The inquest passed off quietly and to everyone's satisfaction, and then the people, to testify their gratitude to the hero of the occasion, put him on the police, on a good enough salary, and he is all right now and is not meditating suicide any more. Here are all the elements of the naivest Arabian tale. A man who resists robbery when he hasn't anything to be robbed of does the very best to save his life when he has come out purposely to throw it away. And finally is victorious in defeat, killing his adversary in an effectual and poetic fashion after being already o'er to combat himself. Now, if you let him rise in the service and marry the chief of police's daughter, it has the requisite elements of the Oriental romance lacking not a detail, so far as I can see, end of An Austrian Health Factory by Mark Twain, read by John Greenman with help from Eberhard Schneider, Section 5 of Mark Twain's travel letters from 1891 to 1892. This Libervox recording is in the public domain. Mark Twain in the Cradle of Liberty, from the Chicago Sunday Tribune, March 6, 1892, read by John Greenman. It is a good many years since I was in Switzerland last. In that remote time there was only one ladder railway in the country. That state of things has all changed. There isn't a mountain in Switzerland now that hasn't a ladder railroad or two up its back like suspenders. Indeed, some mountains are latticed with them, and two years hence all will be. In that day the peasant of the high altitudes will have to carry a lantern when he goes visiting in the night to keep from stumbling over railroads that have been built since his last round, and also in that day if there shall remain a high altitude peasant whose potato patch hasn't a railroad through it, it will make him as conspicuous as William Tell. However, there are only two best ways to travel through Switzerland. The first best is a float. The second best is by open two-horse carriage. One can come from Lucerne to Interlaken over the Brunich by ladder railroad in an hour or so now, but you can glide smoothly in a carriage in ten, and have two hours for luncheon at noon. For luncheon, not for rest. There is no fatigue connected with the trip. One arrives fresh in spirit and in person in the evening, no fret in his heart, no grime on his face, no grit in his hair, not a cinder in his eye. This is the right condition of mind and body, the right and due preparation for the solemn event which closed the day, stepping with metaphorically uncovered head into the presence of the most impressive mountain mass that the globe can show, the Jungfrau. The stranger's first feeling when suddenly confronted by that towering and awful apparition wrapped in its shroud of snow is breathtaking astonishment. It is as if Heaven's gates had swung open and exposed the throne. It is peaceful here and pleasant at Interlaken. Nothing going on, at least nothing but brilliant life-giving sunshine. There are floods and floods of that. One may properly speak of it as going on, for it is full of the suggestion of activity. The light pours down with energy, with visible enthusiasm. This is a good atmosphere to be in, morally as well as physically. After trying the political atmosphere of the neighbouring monarchies, it is healing and refreshing to breathe in air that has known no taint of slavery for six hundred years, and to come among a people whose political history is great and fine, and worthy to be taught in all schools, and studied by all races and peoples. For the struggle here throughout the centuries has not been in the interest of any private family or any church, but in the interest of the whole body of the nation, and for shelter and protection of all forms of belief. This fact is colossal. If one would realise how colossal it is, and of what dignity and majesty, let him contrast it with the purposes and objects of the Crusades, the Siege of York, the War of the Roses, and other historic comedies of that sword and size. Last week I was beating around the lake of four cantons, and I saw Rutli and Altorf. Rutli is a remote little patch of a meadow, but I do not know how any piece of ground could be holier or better worth crossing oceans and continents to see, since it was there that the great trinity of Switzerland joined hands six centuries ago and swore the oath which set there enslaved and insulted country forever free, and Altorf is also honourable ground and worshipful, since it was there that William, sir named Tell, which interpreted means the foolish talker, that is to say the too-daring talker, refused to bow to Gessler's hat. Of late years the prying student of history has been delighting himself beyond measure over a wonderful find which he has made, to it that Tell did not shoot the apple from his son's head. To hear the students jubilate one would suppose that the question of whether Tell shot the apple or didn't was an important matter, whereas it ranks in importance exactly with the question of whether Washington chopped down the cherry-tree or didn't. The deeds of Washington, the patriot, are the essential thing. The cherry-tree incident is of no consequence. To prove that Tell did shoot the apple from his son's head would merely prove that he had better nerve than most men, and was as skillful with a bow as a million others who proceeded and followed him, but not one wit more so. But Tell was more and better than a mere marksman, more and better than a mere cool head. He was a type. He stands for Swiss patriotism. In his person was represented a whole people. His spirit was their spirit. The spirit which would bow to none but God. The spirit which said this in words and confirmed it with deeds. There have always been Tells in Switzerland, people who would not bow. There was a sufficiency of them at Rotley. There were plenty of them at Milton. Plenty at Grandson. There are plenty to-day. And the first of them all—the very first, earliest banner-bearer of human freedom in this world—was not a man, but a woman—Stalfacher's wife. There she looms, dim and great, through the haze of the centuries, delivering into her husband's ear that gospel of revolt, which was to bear fruit in the conspiracy of Rotley, and the birth of the first free government the world had ever seen. Thursday, September 10th. From this Victoria Hotel one looks straight across a flat of trifling width to a lofty mountain barrier, which has a gateway in it shaped like an inverted pyramid. Beyond this gateway arises the vast bulk of the Jungfrau, a spotless mass of gleaming snow, into the sky. The gateway, in the dark-colored barrier, makes a strong frame for the great picture. The somber frame and the glowing snowpile are startlingly contrasted. It is this frame which concentrates and emphasizes the glory of the Jungfrau and makes it the most engaging and beguiling and fascinating spectacle that exists on the earth. There are many mountains of snow that are as lofty as the Jungfrau and as nobly proportioned, but they lack the frame. They stand at large. They are intruded upon and elbowed by neighboring domes and summits, and their grandeur is diminished and fails of effect. It is a good name, Jungfrau, virgin. Nothing could be whiter, nothing could be purer, nothing could be saintlier of aspect. At six yesterday evening the great intervening barrier seen through a faint bluish haze seemed made of air and substance-less, so soft and rich it was, so shimmering where the wandering lights touched it and so dim where the shadows lay. Apparently it was a dream-stuff, a work of the imagination, nothing real about it. The tint was green, slightly varying shades of it, but mainly very dark. The sun was down, as far as that barrier was concerned, but not for the Jungfrau towering into the heavens beyond the gateway. She was a roaring conflagration of blinding white. It is said that Fridolin, the holy Fridolin, a new saint, but formerly a missionary, gave the mountain its gracious name. He was an Irishman, son of an Irish king. There were thirty thousand kings reigning in County Cork alone in his time, fifteen hundred years ago. It got so that they could not make a living. There was so much competition and wages got cut so. Some of them were out of work months at a time, with wife and little children to feed, and not a crust in the place. At last a particularly severe winter fell upon the country, and hundreds of them were reduced to mendicancy, and were to be seen day after day in the bitterest weather, standing barefoot in the snow, holding out their crowns for alms. Indeed they would have been obliged to emigrate or starve, but for a fortunate idea of Prince Fridolin's, who started a labor union, the first one in history, and got the great bulk of them to join it. He thus won the general gratitude, and they wanted to make him Emperor. Emperor over them all. Emperor of County Cork. But he said no. Walking delegate was good enough for him. For behold he was modest beyond his years, and keen as a whip. To this day in Germany and Switzerland, where St. Fridolin is deeply revered and honoured, the peasantry speak of him affectionately as the first walking delegate. The first walk he took was into France and Germany, missionarying. For missionarying was a better thing in those days than it is in ours. All you had to do was to cure the head savage's sick daughter by a miracle—a miracle like the miracle of lords in our day, for instance—and immediately that head savage was your convert. He was your convert and filled to the eyes with a new convert's enthusiasm. You could sit down and make yourself easy now. He would take the axe and convert the rest of the nation himself. Charlemagne was that kind of a walking delegate. Yes, there were great missionaries in those days, for the methods were sure, and the rewards great. We have no such missionaries now, and no such methods. But to continue the history of the first walking delegate, if you are interested, I am interested myself, because I have seen his relics at Suckingen, and also the very spot where he worked his great miracle, the one which won him his sainthood in the papal court a few centuries later. To have seen these things makes me feel very near to him, almost like a member of the family, in fact. While wandering about the continent, he arrived at the spot on the Rhine, which is now occupied by Suckingen, and proposed to settle there. But the people warned him off. He appealed to the king of the Franks, who made him a present of the whole region, people and all. He built a great cloister there for women, and proceeded to teach in it, and accumulate more land. There were two wealthy brothers in the neighborhood, Urso and Landolf. Urso died, and Friedelin claimed his estates. Landolf asked for documents and papers. Friedelin had none to show. He said the bequest had been made to him by word of mouth. Landolf suggested that he produce a witness, and said it in a way which he thought was very witty, very sarcastic. This shows that he did not know the walking delegate. Friedelin was not disturbed. He said, Appoint your court! I will bring a witness! The court thus created consisted of fifteen counts and barons. A day was appointed for the trial of the case. On that day the judges took their seats in state, and proclamation was made that the court was ready for business. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes passed, and yet no Friedelin appeared. Landolf rose, and was in the act of claiming judgment by default when a strange clacking sound was heard coming up the stairs. In another moment Friedelin entered at the door, and came walking in a deep hush down the middle aisle, with a tall skeleton stalking in his rear. Amazement and terror sat upon every countenance, for everybody suspected that the skeleton was Ursus. It stopped before the chief judge, and raised its bony arm aloft, and began to speak, while all the assembly shuddered, for they could see the words leak out between its ribs. It said, Brother, why dost thou disturbed my blessed rest, and withhold by robbery the gift which I gave thee for the honour of God? It seems a strange thing, and most irregular. But the verdict was actually given against Landolf on the testimony of this wandering rack heap of unidentified bones. In our day a skeleton would not be allowed to testify at all, for a skeleton has no moral responsibility, and its word could not be rationally trusted. Most skeletons are not to be believed on oath, and this was probably one of them. However, the incident is valuable as preserving to us a curious sample of the quaint laws of evidence of that remote time, a time so remote, so far back toward the beginning of original idiocy, that the difference between a bench of judges, and a basket of vegetables, was as yet so slight, that we may say with all confidence that it didn't really exist. Sunday. During several afternoons I have been engaged in an interesting, maybe useful, piece of work, that is to say I have been trying to make the mighty Jungfrau earn her living, earn it in a most humble sphere, but on a prodigious scale, on a prodigious scale of necessity, for she couldn't do anything in a small way with her size and style. I have been trying to make her do service on a stupendous dial, and check off the hours as they glide along her pallid face up there against the sky, until the time of day to the populations lying within fifty miles of her and to the people in the moon, if they have a good telescope there. Until late in the afternoon the Jungfrau's aspect is that of a spotless desert of snow set upon edge against the sky, but by mid-afternoon some elevations which rise out of the western border of the desert, whose presence you perhaps had not detected or suspected up to that time, begin to cast black shadows eastward across the gleaming surface. At first there is only one shadow, later there are two. Toward four p.m. the other day I was gazing and worshipping as usual, when I chanced to notice that shadow number one was beginning to take itself something of the shape of the human profile. By four the back of the head was good, the military cap was pretty good, the nose was bold and strong, the upper lip sharp, but not pretty, and there was a great goatee that shot straight aggressively forward from the chin. At four thirty the nose had changed its shape considerably and the altered slant of the sun had revealed and made conspicuous a huge buttress or barrier of naked rock which was so located as to answer very well for a shoulder or coat collar to this swarthy and indiscreet sweetheart who had stolen out there right before everybody to pillow his head on the virgin's white breast and whisper soft sentimentalities to her, to the sensuous music of crashing ice domes, and the boom and thunder of the passing avalanche. Music very familiar to his ear, for he has heard it every afternoon at this hour since the day he first came courting this child of the earth, who lives in the sky, and that day is far back, yes. For he was at this pleasant sport before the Middle Ages drifted by him in the valley, before the Romans marched past, and before the antique and recordless barbarians fished and hunted here and wondered who he might be, and were probably afraid of him, and before primeval man himself, just emerged from his forefooted estate, stepped out upon this plain first sample of his race a thousand centuries ago, and cast a glad eye up there, judging he had found a brother human being and consequently something to kill, and before the big Saurians wallowed here still some eons earlier. Oh, yes, a day so far back that the Eternal Son was present to see that first visit. A day so far back that neither tradition nor history was born yet, and a whole weary eternity must come and go before the restless little creature of whose face this dependous shadow face was the prophecy, would arrive in the earth and begin his shabby career and think it a big one. Oh, indeed, yes, when you talk about your poor Roman and Egyptian day before yesterday antiquities, you should choose a time when the hoary shadow face of the Jungfrau is not by. It antidates all antiquities known or imaginable, for it was here the world itself created the theater of future antiquities, and it is the only witness with a human face that was there to see the marvel and remains to us a memorial of it. By four forty p.m. the nose of the shadow is perfect and is beautiful, it is black and is powerfully marked against the upright canvas of glowing snow, and covers hundreds of acres of that resplendent surface. Meantime shadow number two has been creeping out well to the rear of the face west of it, and at five o'clock has assumed a shape that has rather a poor and rude semblance of a shoe. Meantime also the great shadow face has been gradually changing for twenty minutes, and now, five p.m., it is becoming a quite fair portrait of Roscoe Conkling. But likewise is there and is unmistakable. The goatee is shortened, now, and has an end. Formally it hadn't any, but ran off eastward and arrived nowhere. By six p.m. the face has dissolved and gone, and the goatee has become what looks like the shadow of a tower with a pointed roof, and the shoe had turned into what the printers call a fist with a finger pointing. If I were now imprisoned on a mountain some at a hundred miles northward of this point, and was denied a timepiece, I could get along well enough from four till six on clear days, for I could keep trace of the time by the changing shapes of these mighty shadows on the virgin's front, the most dependous dial I am acquainted with, the oldest clock in the world by a couple of million years. I suppose I should not have noticed the forms of the shadows if I hadn't the habit of hunting for faces in the clouds and in mountain crags, a sort of amusement which is very entertaining, even when you don't find any, and brilliantly satisfying when you do. I have searched through several bushels of photographs of the Jungfrau here, but found only one with the face in it, and in this case it was not strictly recognizable as a face, which was evidence that the picture was taken before four in the afternoon, and also evidence that all photographers have persistently overlooked one of the most fascinating features of the Jungfrau show. I say, fascinating, because if you once detect a human face produced on a great plan by unconscious nature, you never get tired of watching it. At first you can't make another person see it at all, but after he has made it out once, he can't see anything else afterward. The King of Greece is a man who goes around quietly enough when off duty. One day this summer he was travelling in an ordinary first-class compartment, just in his other suit, the one which he works the realm in when he is at home, and so he was not looking like anybody in particular, but a good deal like everybody in general. By and by a hearty and healthy German-American got in, and opened up a frank and interesting and sympathetic conversation with him, and asked him a couple of thousand questions about himself, which the King answered good-naturedly, but in a more or less indefinite way as to private particulars. Where do you live when you are at home? In Greece. Greece? Well, now that is just astonishing. Born there? Yes. Do you speak Greek? Yes. Now, ain't that strange? I never expected to live to see that. What is your trade? I mean, how do you get your living? What is your line of business? Well, I hardly know how to answer. I'm only a kind of foreman, on a salary, and the business, well, is a very general kind of business. Yes, I understand general jobbing, a little of everything, anything that there's money in. That's about it, yes. Are you travelling for the house now? Well, partly, but not entirely. Of course, I do a stroke of business if it falls in the way. Good. I like that in you. That's me every time. Go on. I was only going to say I am off on my vacation now. Well, that's all right, no harm in that. A man works all the better for a little let up now and then. Not that I've been used to having it myself, or I haven't. I reckon this is my first. I was born in Germany, and when I was a couple of weeks old, shipped for America, and I've been there ever since, and that's sixty-four years by the watch, I'm an American in principle, and a German at heart, and it's the boss combination. Well, how do you get along as a rule? Pretty fair? I've rather a large family. There, that's it, big family and trying to raise them on a salary. Now, what did you go to do that for? Well, I thought, of course you did. You were young and confident, and thought you could branch out and make things go with the world, and here you are, you see. But never mind about that. I'm not trying to discourage you. Dear me, I've been just where you are myself. You've got good grit. There's good stuff in you. I can see that. You've got a wrong start. That's the whole trouble. But you hold your grip, and we'll see what can be done. Your case ain't half as bad as it might be. You are going to come out all right. I'm bail for that. Boys and girls? My family? Yes. Some of them are boys. And the rest girls? It's just as I expected. But that's all right, and it's better, so anyway. What are the boys doing? Learning a trade? Well, no. I thought it's a great mistake. It's the biggest mistake you ever made. You see that in your own case. A man ought always to have a trade to fall back on. Now, I was a harness-maker at first. Did that prevent me from becoming one of the biggest brewers in America? Oh, no. I always had the harness trick to fall back on in rough weather. Now, if you had learned how to make harness—however, it's too late now—too late, and it's no good plan to cry over spilt milk. But as to the boys, you see, what's to become of them if anything happens to you? It has been my idea to let the eldest one succeed me. Oh, come! Suppose the firm don't want him. I hadn't thought of that, but now look here. You want to get right down to business and stop dreaming. You are capable of immense things, man. You can make a perfect success in life. All you want is somebody to steady you and boost you along on the right road. Do you own anything in the business? No, not exactly. But if I continue to give satisfaction, I suppose I can keep my—keep your place, yes. Well, don't you depend on anything of the kind. They'll bounce you the minute you get a little old and worked out. They'll do it sure. Can't you manage somehow to get into the firm? That's the great thing, you know. I think it is doubtful—very doubtful. That's bad. Yes, and—unfair, too. Do you suppose that if I should go there and have a talk with your people? Look here, do you think you could run a brewery? I have never tried, but I think I could do it after I got a little familiarity with the business. The German was silent for some time. He did a good deal of thinking, and the king waited with curiosity to see what the result was going to be. Finally the German said, My mind's made up. You leave that crowd. You'll never amount to anything there. In these old countries they never give a fellow a show. Yes, you come over to America. Come to my place in Rochester. Bring the family along. You shall have a show in the business and the foremanship, besides. George—you said your name was George. I'll make a man of you. I give you my word. You've never had a chance here, but that's all going to change. Bye, gracious. I'll give you a lift that'll make your hair curl. I feel lost in Berlin. It has no resemblance to the city I had supposed it was. There was once a Berlin which I would have known, from descriptions in books, the Berlin of the last century and the beginning of the present one. A dingy city in a marsh, with rough streets, muddy and lantern-lighted, dividing straight rows of ugly houses all alike, compacted into blocks as square and plain and uniform, and monotonous and serious as so many dry goods boxes. But that Berlin has disappeared. It seems to have disappeared totally and left no sign. The bulk of the Berlin of today has about it no suggestion of a former period. The site it stands on has traditions and a history, but the city itself has no traditions and no history. It is a new city, the newest I have ever seen. Chicago would seem venerable beside it, for there are many old-looking districts in Chicago, but not many in Berlin. The main mass of the city looks as if it had been built last week. The rest of it has a just perceptibly graver tone, and looks as if it might be six or even eight months old. The next feature that strikes one is the spaciousness, the roominess of the city. There is no other city in any country whose streets are generally wide. Berlin is not merely a city of wide streets. It is the city of wide streets. As a wide street city it has never had its equal in any age of the world. Unter den Linden is three streets in one. The Potsdamerstraße is bordered on both sides by sidewalks, which are themselves wider than some of the historic thoroughfares of the old European capitals. There seem to be no lanes or alleys. There are no shortcuts. Here and there, where several important streets are empty into a common center, that center's circumference is of a magnitude calculated to bring that word spaciousness into your mind again. The park in the middle of the city is so huge that it calls up that expression once more. The next feature that strikes one is the straightness of the streets. The short ones haven't so much as a waiver in them. The long ones stretch out to prodigious distances, and then tilt a little to the right or left, then stretch out on another immense reach as straight as a ray of light. A result of this arrangement is that, at night, Berlin is an inspiring site to see. Gas and electric light are employed with a wasteful liberality, and so, wherever one goes, he has always double ranks of brilliant lights stretching far down into the night on every hand, with here and there a wide and splendid constellation of them spread out over an intervening place. And between the interminable double procession of street lamps one has the swarming and darting cab lamps, a lively and pretty addition to the fine spectacle, for they counterfeit the rush and confusion and sparkle of an invasion of fireflies. There is one other noticeable feature, the absolutely level surface of the site of Berlin. Berlin, to recapitulate, is newer to the eye than is any other city, and also blonder of complexion and tidier. No other city has such an air of roominess, freedom from crowding. No other city has so many straight streets, and with Chicago it contests the chromo for flatness of surface, and for phenomenal swiftness of growth. Berlin is the European Chicago. The two cities have about the same population, say a million and a half. I cannot speak in exact terms, because I only know what Chicago's population was week before last, but at that time it was about a million and a half. Fifteen years ago Berlin and Chicago were large cities, of course, but neither of them was the giant it now is. But now the parallels fail. Only parts of Chicago are stately and beautiful, whereas all of Berlin is stately and substantial, and it is not merely in parts, but uniformly beautiful. There are buildings in Chicago that are architecturally finer than any in Berlin, I think, but what I have just said above is still true. These two flat cities would lead the world for phenomenal good health if London were out of the way. As it is, London leads by a point or two. Berlin's death rate is only nineteen in the thousand. Fourteen years ago the rate was a third higher. Berlin is a surprise in a great many ways, in a multitude of ways, to speak strongly and be exact. It seems to be the most governed city in the world, but one must admit that it also seems to be the best governed. Method and system are observable on every hand in great things, in little things, in all details of whatsoever size, and it is not method and system on paper, and there an end. It is method and system in practice, and it has a rule for everything, and puts the rule in force, puts it in force against the poor and powerful alike, without favour or prejudice. It deals with great matters and minute particulars with equal faithfulness, and with applauding and painstaking diligence and persistency, which compel admiration and sometimes regret. There are several taxes, and they are collected quarterly. Collected is the word. They are not merely levied, they are collected every time. This makes light taxes. It is in cities and countries where a considerable part of the community shirk payment the taxes have to be lifted to a burdensome rate. Here the police keep coming calmly and patiently, until you pay your tax. They charge you five or ten cents per visit after the first call. By experiment you will find that they will presently collect that money. In one respect the one million five hundred thousand of Berlin's population are like a family. The head of this large family knows the names of its several members, and where the said members are located, and when and where they were born, and what they do for a living, and what their religious brand is. Whoever comes to Berlin must furnish these particulars to the police immediately. Moreover, if he knows how long he is going to stay, he must say so. If he takes a house he will be taxed on the rent and taxed also on his income. He will not be asked what his income is, and so he may save some lies for home consumption. The police will estimate his income from the house rent he pays, and tax him on that basis. Duties on imported articles are collected with inflexible fidelity, be the some large or little, but the methods are gentle, prompt, and full of the spirit of accommodation. The postman attends to the whole matter for you in cases where the article comes by mail, and you have no trouble and suffer no inconvenience. The other day a friend of mine was informed that there was a package in the post office for him containing a lady's silk belt with gold clasp and a gold chain to hang a bunch of keys on. In his first agitation he was going to try to bribe the postman to chalk it through, but acted upon his sober second thought and allowed the matter to take its proper and regular course. In a little while the postman brought the package and made these several collections. Duty on the silk belt, seven and a half cents. Duty on the gold chain, ten cents. Charge for fetching the package, five cents. These devastating imposts are exacted for the protection of German home industries. The calm, quiet, courteous, cussid persistence of the police is the most admirable thing I have encountered on this side. They undertook to persuade me to send and get a passport for a Swiss maid whom we had brought with us, and at the end of six weeks of patient, tranquil, angelic, daily effort they succeeded. I was not intending to give them trouble, but I was lazy, and I thought they would get tired. Meanwhile they probably thought I would be the one. It turned out just so. One is not allowed to build unstable, unsafe, or unsightly houses in Berlin. The result is this calmly and conspicuously stately city, with its security from conflagrations and breakdowns. It has built of architectural Gibraltas. The building commissioners inspect while the building is going up. It has been found that this is far better than to wait till it falls down. These people are full of whims. One is not allowed to cram poor folk into cramped and dirty tenement houses. Each individual must have just so many cubic feet of room space, and sanitary inspections are systematic and frequent. Everything is orderly. The fire brigade march in rank, curiously uniformed, and so grave is their demeanor that they look like a salvation army under conviction of sin. People tell me that when a fire alarm is sounded, the firemen assemble calmly, answer to their names when the roll is called, then proceed to the fire. There they are ranked up military fashion and told off in detachments by the chief, who parcels out to the detachments the several parts of the work which they are to undertake in putting out that fire. This is all done with low-voiced propriety, and strangers think these people are working a funeral. As a rule the fire is confined to a single floor in these great masses of bricks and masonry, and consequently there is little or no interest attaching to a fire here for the rest of the occupants of the house. There is abundance of newspapers in Berlin, and there was also a newsboy—but he died. At intervals of half a mile on the thoroughfares there are booths, and it is at these that you buy your papers. There are plenty of theatres, but they do not advertise in a loud way. There are no big posters of any kind, and the display of vast type, and of pictures of actors and performance framed on a big scale and done in rainbow colors is a thing unknown. If the big show bills existed there would be no place to exhibit them, for there are no poster fences, and one would not be allowed to disfigure dead walls with them. Unsightly things are forbidden here. Berlin is a rest to the eye. And yet the saunterer can easily find out what is going on at the theatres. All over the city, at short distances apart, there are neat round pillars, eighteen feet high, and about as thick as a hog's head, and on these the little black and white theatre bills and other notices are posted. One generally finds a group round each pillar reading these things. There are plenty of things in Berlin worth importing to America. It is these that I have particularly wished to make a note of. When Buffalo Bill was here, his biggest poster was probably not larger than the top of an ordinary trunk. There is a multiplicity of clean and comfortable horse cars, but whenever you think you know where a car is going to, you would better stop ashore, because that car is not going to that place at all. The car routes are marvelously intricate, and often the drivers get lost and are not heard of for years. The signs on the cars furnish no details as to the course of the journey. They name the end of it, and then experiment around to see how much territory they can cover before they get there. The conductor will collect your fare over again every few miles and give you a ticket which he hasn't apparently kept any record of, and you keep it till an inspector comes aboard by and by and tears a corner off it, which he does not keep. Then you throw the ticket away and get ready to buy another. Brains are of no value when you are trying to navigate Berlin in a horse car. When the ablest of Brooklyn's editors was here on a visit, he took a horse car in the early morning, and wore it out trying to go to a point in the center of the city. He was on board all day and spent many dollars in fares, and then did not arrive at the place which he had started to go to. This is the most thorough way to see Berlin, but it is also the most expensive. But there are excellent features about the car system, nevertheless. The car will not stop for you to get on or off except at certain places, a block or two apart, where there is a sign to indicate that that is a halting station. This system saves many bones. There are twenty places inside the car. When these seats are filled, no more can enter. Four or five persons may stand on each platform, the law decrees the number, and when these standing places are all occupied, the next applicant is refused. As there is no crowding, and as no rowdyism is allowed, women stand on the platforms as well as the men. They often stand there when there are vacant seats inside. For these places are comfortable there being little or no jolting. A native tells me that when the first car was put on, thirty or forty years ago, the public had such a terror of it that they didn't feel safe inside of it or outside either. They made the company keep a man at every crossing with a red flag in his hand. Nobody would travel in the car except convicts on the way to the gallows. This made business in only one direction, and the car had to go back light. To save the company, the city government transferred the convict's cemetery to the other end of the line. This made traffic in both directions and kept the company from going under. This sounds like some of the information which travelling foreigners are furnished with in America. To my mind, it has a doubtful ring about it. The first class cab is neat and trim, and has leather cushion seats and a swift horse. The second class cab is an ugly and lumberly vehicle, and is always old. It seems a strange thing that they have never built any new ones. Still, if such a thing were done, everybody that had time to flock would flock to see it, and that would make a crowd, and the police do not like crowds and disorder here. If there were an earthquake in Berlin, the police would take charge of it, and conduct it in that sort of orderly way that would make you think it was a prayer meeting. That is what an earthquake generally ends in, but this one would be different from those others. It would be kind of soft and self-contained, like a Republican praying for a mugwump. For a course, a quarter of an hour or less, one pays twenty-five cents in a first-class cab and fifteen cents in a second class. The first class will take you along faster, for the second class horse is old, always old, as old as his cab, some authorities say, and ill-fed and weak. He has been a first class once, but has been degraded to second class for long and faithful service. Still, he must take you as far for fifteen cents as the other horse takes you for twenty-five. If you can't do his fifteen-minute distance in fifteen minutes, he must still do the distance for the fifteen cents. Any stranger can check the distance off by means of the most curious map I am acquainted with. It is issued by the city government and can be bought in any shop for a trifle. In it every street is sectioned off like a string of long beads of different colors. Each long bead represents a minute's travel, and when you have covered fifteen of the beads, you have got your money's worth. This map of Berlin is a gay-colored maze, and looks like pictures of the circulation of the blood. The streets are very clean. They are kept so, not by prayer and talk and the other New York methods, but by daily and hourly work with scrapers and brooms, and when an asphalted street has been tidally scraped after a rain or a light snowfall, they scatter clean sand over it. This saves some of the horses from falling down. In fact, this is a city government which seems to stop at no expense where the public convenience, comfort, and health are concerned, except in one detail. That is the naming of the streets and the numbering of the houses. Sometimes the name of a street will change in the middle of a block. You will not find it out till you get to the next corner and discover the new name on the wall, and of course you don't know just when the change happened. The names are plainly marked on the corners, on all the corners. There are no exceptions. But the numbering of the houses, there has never been anything like it since original chaos. It is not possible that it was done by this wise city government. At first one thinks it was done by an idiot. But there is too much variety about it for that. An idiot could not think of so many different ways of making confusion and propagating blasphemy. The numbers run up one side of the street and down the other. That is indurable, but the rest isn't. They often use one number for three or four houses, and sometimes they put the number on only one of the houses and let you guess at the others. Sometimes they put a number on a house, four, for instance, then put four A, four B, four C, on the succeeding houses. And one becomes old and decrepit before he finally arrives at five. A result of this systemless system is that when you are at number one in a street, you haven't any idea how far it may be to number one hundred and fifty. It may be only six or eight blocks. It may be a couple of miles. Frederick Street is long and is one of the great thoroughfares. The other day a man put his money behind the assertion that there were more refreshment places in that street than numbers on the houses, and he won. There were two hundred and fifty-four numbers and two hundred and fifty-seven refreshment places. Yet, as I have said, it is a long street. But the worst feature of all this complex business is that in Berlin the numbers do not travel in any one direction. No, they travel along until they get to fifty or sixty, perhaps. Then suddenly you find yourself up in the hundreds. A hundred and forty, maybe. The next will be one hundred and thirty-nine. Then you perceive by that sign that the numbers are now traveling toward you from the opposite direction. They will keep that sort of insanity up as long as you travel that street. Every now and then the numbers will turn and run the other way. As a rule there is an arrow under the number to show by the direction of its flight which way the numbers are proceeding. There are a good many suicides in Berlin, I have seen six reported in one day. There is always a deal of learned and laborious arguing and ciphering going on as to the cause of this state of things. If they will set to work and number their houses in a rational way perhaps they will find out what was the matter. More than a month ago Berlin began to prepare to celebrate Professor Bircha's seventieth birthday. When the birthday arrived, the middle of October, it seemed to me that all the world of science arrived with it. Deputation after deputation came bringing the homage and reverence of far cities and centers of learning, and during the whole of a long day the hero of it sat and received such witness of his greatness as has seldom been vouchsafe to any man in any walk of life in any time, ancient or modern. These demonstrations were continued in one form or another, day after day, and were presently merged in similar demonstrations to his twin in science and achievement, Professor Helmholtz, whose seventieth birthday is separated from Bircha's, by only about three weeks, so nearly as this did these two extraordinary men come to being born together. Two such births have seldom signalized a single year in human history. But perhaps the final and closing demonstration was peculiarly grateful to them. This was a comers, given in their honor the other night by one thousand students. It was held in a huge hall, very long and very lofty, which had five galleries far above everybody's head, which were crowded with ladies, four hundred or five hundred, I judged. It was beautifully decorated with clustered flags and various ornamental devices, and was brilliantly lighted. On the spacious floor of this place were ranged in files innumerable tables, seating twenty-four persons each, extending from one end of the great hall clear to the other, and with narrow aisles between the files. In the center, on one side, was a high and tastefully decorated platform, twenty or thirty feet long, with a long table on it, behind which sat the half-dozen chiefs of the choir of the comers, in the rich, medieval costumes of as many different college corps. Behind these youths a band of musicians was concealed. On the floor directly in front of this platform were half a dozen tables which were distinguished from the outlying continent of tables, by being covered instead of left naked. Of these the central table was reserved for the two heroes of the occasion, and twenty particularly eminent professors of the Berlin University, and the other covered tables were for the occupancy of a hundred less distinguished professors. I was glad to be honoured with a place at the table of the two heroes of the occasion, although I was not really learned enough to deserve it. Indeed, there was a pleasant strangeness in being in such company, to be thus associated with twenty-three men who forget more every day than I ever knew. Yet there was nothing embarrassing about it, because loaded men and empty ones look about alike. I knew that to that multitude there I was a professor. It required but little art to catch the ways and attitude of those men and imitate them, and I had no difficulty in looking as much like a professor as anybody there. We arrived early, so early that only Professors Wirkau and Helmholtz and a dozen guests of the special tables were ahead of us, and three hundred or four hundred students. But people were arriving in floods now, and within fifteen minutes all but the special tables were occupied, and the great house was crammed. The aisles included. It was said that there were four thousand men present. It was the most animated scene. There is no doubt about that. It was a stupendous beehive. At each end of each table stood a core student in the uniform of his core. These quaint costumes are of brilliant coloured silks and velvets, with sometimes a high plumed hat, sometimes a broad scotch cap, with a great plume wound about it sometimes, oftenest, a little shallow silk cap on the tip of the crown, like an inverted saucer. And sometimes the pantaloons are snow-white, sometimes of other colours. The boots in all cases come up well above the knee, and in all cases also white gauntlets are worn. The sword is a rapier with a bowl-shaped guard for the hand, painted in several colours. Each core has a uniform of its own, and all are of rich material, brilliant in colour, and exceedingly picturesque. For they are survivals of the vanished costumes of the Middle Ages, and they reproduce for us the time when men were beautiful to look at. The student who stood guard at our end of the table was of grave countenance and great frame and grace of form, and he was doubtless and accurate reproduction, clothes and all, of some ancestor of his of two or three centuries ago. A reproduction, as far as the outside, the animal man goes, I mean. As I say, the place was now crowded. The nearest aisle was packed with students standing up, and they made a fence which shut off the rest of the house from view. As far down this fence as you could see all these wholesome young faces were turned in one direction. All these intent and worshipping eyes were centred upon one spot, the place where Virchow and Helmholtz sat. The boys seemed lost to everything unconscious of their own existence. They devoured these two intellectual giants with their eyes. They feasted upon them, and the worship that was in their hearts shone in their faces. It seemed to me that I would rather be flooded with a glory like that, instinct with sincerity innocent of self-seeking, than win a hundred battles and break a million hearts. There was a big mug of beer in front of each of us, and more to come when wanted. There was also a quarto pamphlet containing the words of the songs to be sung. After the names of the officers of the feast were these words in large type. I was not able to translate this to my satisfaction, but a professor helped me out. This was his explanation. The students in uniform belonged to different college corps. Not all students belonged to the corps. None joined the corps except those who enjoy fighting. The corps students fight duels with swords every week. One corps challenging another corps to furnish a certain number of dualists for the occasion, and it is only on this battlefield that students of different corps exchange courtesies. In common life they do not drink with each other or speak. The above line now translates itself. There is truce during the commerce. War is late aside, and fellowship takes its place. Now the performance began. The concealed band played a piece of martial music. Then there was a pause. The students on the platform rose to their feet. The middle one gave a toast to the emperor. Then all the house rose, mugs in hand. At the call one, two, three, all glasses were drained, and then brought down with a slam on the tables in unison. The result was as good an imitation of thunder as I have ever heard. From now on during an hour there was singing in mighty chorus. During each interval between songs a number of the special guests, the professors, arrived. There seemed to be some signal whereby the students on the platform were made aware that a professor had arrived at the remote door of entrance. For you would see them suddenly rise to their feet, strike an erect military attitude, then draw their swords. The swords of all their brethren standing guard at the innumerable tables would flash from their scabbards and be held aloft. A handsome spectacle. Three clear bugle notes would ring out. Then all these swords would come down with a crash twice repeated on the tables and be uplifted and held aloft again. Then in the distance you would see the gay uniforms and uplifted swords of a guard of honour clearing the way and conducting the guests down to his place. The songs were stirring, the immense outpour from young life and young lungs, the crash of swords, and the thunder of the beer mugs gradually worked a body up to what seemed the last possible summit of excitement. It surely seemed to me that I had reached that summit, that I had reached my limit, and that there was no higher lift desirable for me. When apparently the last eminent guest had long ago taken his place, again those three bugle blasts rang out and once more the swords leapt from their scabbards. Who might this latecomer be? Nobody was interested to inquire. Still, indolent eyes were turned toward the distant entrance. We saw the silken gleam and the lifted swords of a guard of honour plowing through the remote crowds. Then we saw that end of the house rising to its feet. Saw it rise, abreast, the advancing guard all along, like a wave. This supreme honour had been offered to no one before. Then there was an excited whisper at our table. Monson! And the whole house rose. Rose and shouted and stamped and clapped and banged the beer mugs. Just simply a storm. Then the little man with his long hair and emersonian face edged his way past us and took his seat. I could have touched him with my hand. Monson, think of it. This was one of those immense surprises that can happen only a few times in one's life. I was not dreaming of him. He was to me only a giant myth, a world shadowing specter, not a reality. The surprise of it all can be only comparable to a man suddenly coming upon Mont Blanc with its awful form towering into the sky, when he didn't suspect he was in its neighborhood. I would have walked a great many miles to get a sight of him. And here he was. Without trouble or tramp or cost of any kind. Here he was closed in a titanic deceptive modesty, which made him look like other men. Here he was, carrying the Roman world and all the Caesars in his hospitable skull, and doing it as easily as that other luminous vault the skull of the universe carries the milky way and the constellations. One of the professors said that once upon a time an American young lady was introduced to Monson and found herself badly scared and speechless. She dreaded to see his mouth unclose, for she was expecting him to choose a subject several miles above her comprehension, and didn't suppose he could get down to the world that other people lived in. But, when his remark came, her terrors disappeared. Bury, how do you do? Have you read Howell's last book? I think it's his best. The active ceremonies of the evening closed with the speeches of welcome delivered by two students and the replies made by Professors Virchow and Helmholtz. Virchow has long been a member of the city government in Berlin. He works as hard for the city as does any other Berlin alderman, and gets the same pay. Nothing. I don't know that we in America could venture to ask our most illustrious citizen to serve in a board of alderman, and if we might venture it, I am not positively sure that we could elect him. But here, the municipal system is such that the best men in the city consider it an honour to serve gratis as alderman, and the people have the good sense to prefer these men and to elect them year after year. As a result, Berlin is a thoroughly well-governed city. It is a free city. Its affairs are not meddled with by the state. They are managed by its own citizens, and after methods of their own devising.

As Kentucky gears up for the primary elections, some may be wondering how they can make their vote count before hitting the polls this May 17th. Tuesday, Mountaintop spoke with Secretary of State Michael Adams about what you should know before voting this year. Well, there are four convenient ways to vote now in Kentucky that wasn't always true. We've tried to expand access to the ballot in my term of office while also improving the security of the process. There are four ways to vote. First way is to vote by absentee ballot. I just want to reassure people who, based on their age or their health, have concerns about voting in person, they qualify to vote by absentee ballot. Certainly, we've seen less of that with COVID finally going away. The deadline to request an absentee ballot has passed. We're so close down to the election. But if you did request an absentee ballot, get that back to us as soon as you can. The deadline for us to have those in our hand is 6 p.m. on Election Day, May 17th. That's a week from today while we're taping this. We have to have it. Otherwise, we can't count it. We've got to count your votes along with everybody else's. You can mail that ballot back to us as long as we have it back in time. We can count it or you can bring it to the drop box. Maybe it's a little better knowing that we've got it. It's in our custody. Again, either way, we've got to have it in hand by May 17th at 6 p.m. We are Pikeville Medical Center, and we are an amazing place to work, healthcare heroes of all types work here, all who deserve great rewards. So while our heroes are working hard to take care of our patients and visitors, we are taking care of them with top-tier benefits, higher pay rates, and great sign-on bonuses. So join our team today. So what are you waiting for? Apply today! Incredible opportunities await at PMCjobs.org. Secondly, for those choosing to vote in person and are out of their county, excused absentee voters will have until Wednesday, May 11th to vote. The third method, which is new for Kentucky, early in-person voters will have from May 12th through the 14th to vote. This is new. This is something that we've brought, Kentucky. Three days of early voting, May 12th through 14th, that's Thursday through Saturday. The polls will be open eight hours a day by law as we've got it passed, especially I think that Saturday is really helpful for working people that want to go cast a ballot. Those locations certainly will vary county by county. We encourage people to contact your county clerk or visit our website, elect.ky.gov. We've got a list of all the voting locations in the state. And then of course you can vote on election day if you choose. Most of our counties have their precincts back open. Some are doing a modified version with some vote centers and some precincts or all vote centers. Every county is different. It's a local decision. If you want to vote, again, our website will tell you elect.ky.gov. Voting for the primary election is May 17th. For a list of polling locations, you can visit elect.ky.gov. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korgel.

Our next case is a 38-year-old man, no history given, but he has an obvious mass located along the inferior aspect of the fourth ventricle near the foramen magnum. We have a T1 non-contrast and contrast image with a little bit of enhancement along the inferior aspect of the mass, and on an axial T2-weighted image, the mass is kind of boring. It's gray and somewhat smooth, but does fill out the inferior recess of the fourth ventricle. The differential diagnosis of intraventricular lesions is legendary, but limited, and we're not going to give it here just for the sake of time, but let's talk about this lesion so that we can hone in on a specific diagnosis. First, it's bland. It's gray. Second, the enhancement is scant, and sometimes with this lesion there's no enhancement whatsoever. It's a little bit lobulated. It fills out the fourth ventricle. In fact, it likes the fourth ventricle a lot. 90% of these lesions occur in either the fourth ventricle or the lateral ventricle, and this is a sub-pendymoma. So if you have an intraventricular lesion that isn't in one of those two ventricles, you better start thinking about another diagnosis. But here's another clinical, what I call pro-scan pearl. When you think about ventricular lesions in and around the fourth ventricle, you're usually thinking about pediatric patients, endopendymoma, megaloblastoma. Unfortunately, this lesion occurs after age 15. In fact, 80-82% of them occur after age 15, and most megaloblastomas occur before age 10, and endopendymomas also occur in the juvenile or pediatric setting. So age is very helpful. Lack or paucity of enhancement is very helpful. But let me ask you a question about these lesions, which are usually less than two centimeters in size. This one's about two, and when they're two or less, they're usually asymptomatic. When they're four or more, they may produce obstruction, and then, as a neurosurgeon, your hand is forced, you may have to shunt them or take them out. What would you do with this lesion? Yeah, this one, often these are incidental findings. The history is totally something unrelated, so it's an easy thing to get embarrassed on and miss, right? Sure. I'm embarrassed every day. The enhancement that you mentioned is actually, if you read about them, they're described as being non-enhancing. It's true. But this is the most common location. Second most common is lateral ventricle. If they do enhance, the ones in this location enhance more often. Meaning, in the lateral ventricle, very mostly non-enhancing, but if they're going to enhance, these are the ones that are going to enhance. That's a cool little pearl, too. Now, if this does need to be taken out, usually follow these. I have patients that I've followed for years and just look at it every year. It looks back at you. How often would you image them? Yeah, I usually, when I see a new lesion, I usually look at it at three or six months because I don't know its behavior. If it's nothing's happening in six months, then I'll start stretching it out. But eventually, I'll probably be looking at this one year, maybe even once every two years, if somebody's been stable for quite a while. But you're not taking this one out. I'm not taking it out based on what we know, which is that there's no symptoms directly referable to it. The patient's stable, okay? No evidence of leptomine and geoceding, anything which doesn't usually occur with this lesion. And no hydrocephalus, too. That's correct. So, if there is a reason, let's say it's all of a sudden it's bigger and there's hydrocephalus, it's a great case, right? Suboxypital craniacomy, you're going to be right at the inferior border of the fourth ventricle. You're going to get a plane down here and skim this baby right off and it's going to be a very interesting surgery. So it can be done. Well, great for you, but not so great for him. Well, that's correct. They'd rather do without it, but they're not happy to be seeing a neurosurgeon to begin with. So they have to deal with that. But so it can be treated, very treatable. A lot of times they do well. I've followed a lot of them for years, never had to do anything. Usually the surgery is curative and this is a subapendemoma. It's a classic subapendemoma and it's a very straightforward case. Let's move on to some others.
