Welcome back to yet another video from yours truly, Dapo Willis. Guys, today's officially episode 30 of Trader Talk. And most importantly, I'm back. Yes guys, I had to take some time off YouTube. I had to take some time off the charts. For those of you guys who follow me on social media, you will know and notice that I took the trip to Nigeria. Yes, I went to go call off. I went to go spend some time with my family. And most importantly, while I was there, I actually got awarded this award by my broker, Infinox Capital, for the best performing trader on their platform. Yes guys, there was this massive event that he put together. I didn't really even know what was happening. I just got told that I had obviously gotten an award. And I walked into the event and all these people, a lot of them are actually followers from YouTube, Instagram. A lot of them were actually Forex Mastery followers, Forex Mastery students. And guys, for those of you guys who were there, I just want to tell you from the bottom of my heart that I love you guys so much. Thank you because the love that I was showed at the event, it was something else. I'm so happy that this YouTube channel is actually impacting a lot of lives. Guys, this is the reason I do what I do, okay? This is the reason. At the end of the day, YouTube is kind of like a hobby for me, right? I make all my money, 99.9% of my money. I make it from trading the market. This is just a way for me to reach out to people, help people, educate people. Because like I keep telling you guys, whilst I was struggling during my early days as a Forex trader, right? It was so difficult. It was so tough. I used to cry. And I remember praying to God. I said, God, if you help me, crap the code. If you help me understand this market, right? I will give back as much as I can, okay? So this is exactly why I come on YouTube. Now, to be able to go to Nigeria after so long and get awarded this and see the impact firsthand and see people literally transform their lives because they either watch my YouTube channel or they're Forex Mastery students to actually see the impact of my voice and my teachings is absolutely, guys, I have no words for this. I just want to say thank you. If you came out that day, thank you. And for those of you guys who couldn't make it, who follow me on YouTube, who watch my videos, thank you. I am honored to be your teacher. I am honored to be your instructor. I'm honored to be your guide to financial freedom. So that's it pretty much, guys. Now, guys, in about two hours from now, I'm not gonna make this video too long. Trader talk is all about, obviously I'm gonna be diving into my charts. I have a couple of pairs I wanna break down. I wanna talk about gold. I wanna talk about the Euro, GBP, USD. Obviously the Euro is at parity at the moment. A parity simply means the Euro and the dollar are now at par. I wanna talk about some stuff, but I'm not gonna waste too much time today because I have a jet waiting for me to take me to Doha, yes. If you guys remember all the way back in November when I went to Qatar to sign a deal worth $50 million, we have successfully traded the account and we're currently floating at about 64% as we speak. Yes, it's only been six months. Actually, I stopped trading on the accounts last month. So we're currently up 64% now. So if you do the math, that is over what, 29 to 30 million US dollars growth. And the profit sharing on that is about 50, 50. So guys, yes, I'm going all the way to Doha in about two hours now. I'm really excited. I really don't know, maybe, I'm worried. I hope I don't retire after this. Because the significant amount of money, right? I hope I don't retire. But guys, I'm joking, I'm not going anywhere. No, not to worry, I'm not going anywhere. But I'm gonna be going to Doha, obviously, to pick up my freaking cash. And yeah, but before I go anywhere, I need to jump into the charts. Guys, there's some juicy stuff cooking on the charts. I wanna share with you guys. Dapo, will you see for me? I'm fucking back, I'm back, I'm back, people. And for those of you guys who haven't grabbed the Forex Mastery program, you're doing yourself a great injustice as always. I keep telling you guys, if you wanna learn how to trade, like I do, if you wanna be picking up all these checks, if you wanna be bagging all these investors, the link is just so inexpensive. Literally my team was telling me that we should actually double the price because it's just 99 bucks. I wouldn't be surprised if by the time we guys click the link, it might be $200 now because my team is saying, so this is so cheap. I've seen people all over the world buying this thing for next to nothing. How $99 costs is literally changing people's lives. So if you haven't grabbed it, go ahead and grab it so that you can become a pro, like yours truly, Dapo, with this. Enough of all the talk, kiss my award. Guys, let's jump into the video. Let's go to the charts, let's go. All right, guys, welcome inside of my screen. Yes, it's been a minute. I actually haven't looked at the charts in a while, probably about three, four weeks, but that's fine because the good thing about it is, I mean, I think I had a gold trade that I had placed that did absolutely well. Now the way that I like to trade is I like to set the trades and then go do other things. So while I was on holiday, gold was actually making me a lot of money, but before I go into gold, I want us to literally touch Bitcoin for a bit just for two seconds. And then I'm gonna take you guys to a trade setup that I'm looking at at the moment, right? So I want you guys to understand that the Forex Mastery program, the top-down analysis, as you can see, can now be used for a lot of different markets, okay? So whatever financial product you're interested in trading, the top-down analysis works for all of them. What we have in front of us right about here is Bitcoin. Now I have projected Bitcoin, you know, to collapse since probably about 60K. I knew Bitcoin was gonna come to, the lows are actually lower than this, so about 29K, if you watch my previous videos, I announced, I called it live here with the top-down methodology. Now why did Bitcoin collapse? Okay, so a lot of people are trying to understand why Bitcoin collapsed from a fundamental and sentimental standpoint, but there wasn't really that much news going on about Bitcoin. As a matter of fact, a lot of countries, a lot of platforms were starting to accept cryptocurrency, so what led to the collapse of Bitcoin? Now I'll explain to you guys in very simple terms. You see, when I preach that these markets are 95% technical, people think that I'm crazy. Well, it's so simple. If you had simply come on the monthly or the weekly timeframe, you would have seen something that was very glaring, okay? Forex mastery students, you know for a fact, for free, that once there is a chat pattern formation, so our chat pattern formations that are very reliable are double tops, double bottoms, head and shoulders, and inverse head and shoulders. So you can see that just by coming on the higher timeframe, you know, like we preach on the top-down analysis and the forex mastery program, you would have been able to see that there was trouble in paradise whilst everybody was buying into the Bitcoin hype. I said this, I said categorically, for all of you buying Bitcoin, pray and pray to God, pray that Bitcoin bridges above $64,000 per coin. Not only does it bridge above, pray we come and close above at least 85K. So Bitcoin would have needed to close around here for this to have been considered a continuation of a trend. However, that didn't happen. What happened instead? Bitcoin, instead Bitcoin came to the previous highs at 64K. We bridged it just a little bit about 68K, made brand new highs, but as you can see, this was nothing more, if in hindsight, if you go on a monthly timeframe, this was nothing more than a double top. Now this double top now led to, and guys, you already know what happens in the double top formation, the market starts to retrace. And once a double top formation has held, we must come and revisit the neckline. So principles as simple as that, led me to predict the crash of Bitcoin from 64K all the way, what, to 28K. Simple, straightforward, you do not need to complicate your trading. So what do you do with this kind of information? If I already know that Bitcoin is gonna crash from 68K, from 64K, let's say at this point we were not really sure, probably at this point we were now setting that Bitcoin was gonna fall. Maybe at this point we're like, ah, we're definitely coming out. What do you do with this kind of information? Hence the top down analysis. You do your projection on the higher timeframe, and then you scale down to lower timeframes like the daily and the four hour, and then you start looking for selling opportunities about here. I was very busy at this point, but I got in my sales were about $47,000 per coin. I shorted Bitcoin all the way from 47K all the way down to what 28K, very, very handsome profit. It took me about three and a half minutes to analyze the chart, just by looking at the higher timeframe. So simple, so straightforward. Now I wanted to go over this because I keep getting questions. People ask me, DApps, does your course or does your strategy or does your thingy work for VIX? Does it work for crypto? Does it work for Bitcoin? Guys, this is not a strategy. This is the way to trade and analyze the market period. I don't believe in strategies. This is price action at its finest. As you can see, I don't need any freaking Bollinger Bands or moving over, I don't need any of that. I just look at the market, okay? I don't understand price action and I can tell you what's gonna happen. Next, and I already knew once we breach it, we're gonna come here, why? Because if you look left, if you look left, it's so simple, guys. This thing is so simple. The next, there you are. There you are. I also announced once we breach 28K, we're coming to 19K. When I said this and it happened, people were like, this guy is a wizard. This guy is a genius. This guy is a magician. Well, I like to consider myself a magician but if you just simply look left and just understand the top-down analysis, the top-down methodology, you would be able to do this like this. It is so simple and straightforward and I'm happy to see when I go on social media now, all my students are just dropping some fire charts. You know, they are making a lot of money. Some kids are holding trades for like 2000 pips. I am so proud of you guys. Forex Mastery students, I am proud to call you guys my students because you guys actually listen to what I say. Now, that's Bitcoin in the nutshell. Once again, if you haven't grabbed the Forex Mastery program, the link is gonna be in the description as always or around here somewhere. Now, let's go over to some future projections. I was actually looking at AUD-USD. AUD-USD is actually on my watch list as we speak, okay? And from what I can see, AUD-USD, if we continue with current projection, we have a potential 1000 pip drop. So we're currently holding on to dear life at 0.700, okay? That is a round number. Round numbers, when it comes to, AUD-USD loves to respect its round numbers. However, I will be watching this level very closely. Two things are going to happen. So from what I can see, from a top-down perspective, this market is in a downtrend. So rule number one, what do we do? We come on monthly timeframe to see what's happening. What direction is this market heading? Even a baby will tell you that this market is heading down, okay? Once we are able to have that in the bag, we have that in our pocket. Monthly timeframe is pointing downwards, right? Strike number one, strike number two, do we have any chart pattern formations forming at the moment? Yes, we do. So what's actually happening now is there's a bit of conflict on AUD-USD because I can see left, this head is looking like a right shoulder. So the overall bias is bearish. However, there's conflict. So what do we do in times of conflict? It's simple and straightforward. All you need to do, ladies and gentlemen, is wait for a monthly candle to come and close down below this level. And guys, you have all this space to the downside. If as long as AUD-USD can give us a bearish engulfing candle on a monthly timeframe, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first on Dapo Willis Radio, like on YouTube channel, ha ha ha. AUD-USD is heading to 0.600, which is about here. So guys, think about it. You have a potential 1,000 pimp drop on this. Now, once the monthly candle closes down here, it's simple, Forex Mastery students look on module five. You know the counter-trend line strategy that I always preach and I teach is accurate nine out of 10 times. Simply scale to a daily and four-hour timeframe and then use the strategy that is taught on the Forex Mastery program to enter this market and you will be smiling home with nothing less than 650 pips on one 650. Because we're gonna need this market, this will probably cost us another 200 pips, right? We'll need the market to commit. It's all about commitment, right? At the moment it's 50-50. We can blow out to the upside. This is looking like a head and shoulder if you ask me. A massive one. So I'm gonna be, I'm not in a hurry. And this is one thing you guys need to understand. The reason why I make so much money from the game is this. I'm never in a hurry, okay? I'm never in a hurry because from what I can see, anything can happen. The market now needs to commit to me. It needs to come on. Mr. Willis, I am ready to roll. Forex Mastery students, it's time to go. But until then, we shall be watching and anticipating this thing patiently, okay? So, but I do favor the downside. Why? Because these are too many. This trend line has rejected this market far too many times. It's like freaking ninja needles, okay? So it will give up eventually, especially with the strength on the dollar index. The dollar index is strengthening like crazy, okay? So, however, if that doesn't happen, I will come on here and reanalyze the market. But AUDUSD is priority on my watch list. These are the kind of trades that I'll place. I'll have two trades in one trade, meaning that once we commit, I'll probably place my first order, place my second order, and I'm able to rack up 650 times too. You're probably looking at the 1,300 pence. And I will just be flying my jet and just be traveling up and down the hopeless and living my best life. Guys, once again, you don't have to always be stuck in front of your screen to make a profit. You don't always have to be clicking buttons. You don't have to use those indicators. You don't have to watch all these YouTube videos. It is so simple and straightforward. Number one, first of all, consume the Forex Mastery content. Understand flow of the river. Once you understand the flow of the river, anticipate the flow of the river. Allow the river to start flowing. Take your Kano, your small account or whatever account size you have. Simple. If it's flowing south, allow it to start flowing south. Then you just run and jump and then just allow the wave and the tide carry you to profitability. Allow the wave carry you into riches. Allow the wave carry you into withdrawals of US dollars. Okay? That's AUDUSC for you guys in a nutshell. Not too much is happening here. If I come down to the daily time and see what exactly is happening, we have actually pulled all the way back into this level. Best believe 0.700 is a magnet. Look at all this space, guys. Maybe you didn't see it properly before. Space, yeah, space is plenty. This space is a lot, okay? So we just need to wait for AUDUSC to finish whatever we think it is doing. And as you can see on the daily timeframe, it looks like a mess. So at this point, I will stick to the week. I'll be looking at this market from a weekly timeframe perspective. And when I say, when I call all these big timeframes, you don't, I don't trade on these higher timeframes. We're not trading on them. We're simply using them as a guide for direction. And I think I know why this is actually stalling. Okay, so a bridge on this actually, you see, guys. This actually caused issues the last time. Guys, this, I treated this collapse to pandemic. This was pandemic. I was stuck in Nigeria, pandemic. Yes, a thousand people, I remember. So I know, I know I can feel AUDUSC, I can spot it from a mile away. But this level actually, you know, caused a little issues, but we pulled back into here. And we call it as you can see history. It has happened before in the past. We came out this level healthy, pulled back and look at what happened. It's coming out again. So let's see if history repeats itself. So for now, we are stuck in between a major zone and a minor zone. Ideally, I would love to see a break of this level for further downside. We can blow all the way to the upside. If we blow all the way to the upside, I will not be interested in AUDUSD. I'm favoring the downside to the team of 80% and to the upside to the team of 20%. Never get too overconfident with your analysis. You hear here first. If not, you run into issues. Always leave room, a little room for a possibility of things not going your way so that you don't run into issues. However, I'm quite confident. If we can break, if we can, if this level can hold and we start pointing downwards, ooh! It's gonna be a beautiful Christmas, man. From start planning for Christmas from now because my son will jump on this trade, man. He will buy a new car, carry him, go village. Everybody gonna ask you what they do for Lagos. Eh, I got no hammer. Anyways, for those of you who don't understand what I just said, that's a little ling wah from Nigeria. And yes, Nigeria was absolutely fun. I loved, jeez, it was so much fun. Forex Mastery students that came out. I love you guys very much. I saw you guys. It was a bit overwhelming, but the next time I'm back, I would have a special event just for you guys. I actually wanna do like an African tour. The major cities, so in one in South Africa, one in Ghana, Nigeria, I think Kenya. We have a lot of students from these regions, so West Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa, then obviously the UK and the US and Canada as well. So we're gonna probably work on some tour dates and then we'll obviously, so that we can, so I can sit down with you guys and for those guys who are struggling, I can obviously help you guys out. Once again, if you haven't grabbed the program, the link is gonna be in the description down below. Now, enough of AUD-USD. I wanted to speak about gold, right? So a bit of Euro. Well, the Euro has hit parity. The Euro is boring right now. I made money shorting the Euro. It's not really much going on. Maybe it can still fall some more. Euro, okay, let's look at the Euro. Really, me and Euro have always beefing. We always have this beef. So let's have a look at the Euro. At the moment, the Euro is sliding down. So let's see. Probably pull back into this region. So this is looking like Willie's zone. Let me see. Yeah, so if we pull back into here, we can potentially see, oh, that's a nice setup. Yeah, so if we're able to sustain below, so this would be what touch of the trend line would this be? Many touches or one, two, one, two, three, so four touch always is a bit problematic. So we'll need to close below this level. So I need to see a bearish engulfing candle down here. Come in here, reject. And then we can see a selling opportunity. So we have selling opportunity on the Euro, AUD, USD as well. But I want to educate you guys on gold pretty quickly. Now I had a fantastic trade on gold just before I traveled to Nigeria. Yes, everybody was. I remember gold was moving sideways for a while. So I think my trade was a bit like this, right? So simple and straightforward. Gold pulled back, jumped into the trade. As you can see, it's hit my target. Although it was moving sideways for how long? So this is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30. A whole month this market moves sideways. I held it. Now what I did, I held it, put my computer off, I went to chill. Guys, you have to be able to dissociate yourself from the channel. See what happened? Pips guys, from $1,847 an ounce all the way down to $1,700 an ounce. So that's 1,800 pips on gold. It's power of quality over quantity. You place that trade, first of all, identify the flow. It was pointing downwards, place the trade, close your computer and go spend time with your family. Allow, as you can see, the market now started to work for me. Every day it was coming down. It was working for me. I wasn't checking my chart until it finally hit my TP. Now, what is the next thing for gold? What's going to happen to gold next? Now, from what I can see, it's not looking really good, good for gold. So you'll notice something very similar happened to Bitcoin, right? From a higher timeframe perspective, I'm seeing difficulties. Gold is having serious difficulties bridging this $1,900 per ounce slash 2K per ounce resistance level. Usually, when this happens, it spells doom for that particular financial instrument. So this is a double top. Obviously, this will be the neckline down here. What does this mean? We could potentially see a drop from gold all the way down here now. Let me try and see if I can find a trend line that might hopefully support. Because I mean, gold is a huge commodity and the world relies on it a lot. Sometimes when I do this analysis, I just pray, God, please, remember when I predicted the collapse of oil from $75 a barrel to $28 a barrel, right? You have to understand that predominantly I'm Nigerian and Nigeria relies heavily on oil proceeds. So as much as I was making money from the collapse of oil personally, I knew the repercussive effects of that collapse of oil on the Nigerian economy. You hear what I'm saying? Sometimes when I do this analysis, I get worried. I'm like, I'll make money, but what happens to the rest? But some people are like, I didn't really care. Guys, you don't know what it means. Because of that analysis alone, obviously, I wasn't the one that caused the price of oil to collapse. I made a lot of money shortening in 2014. However, the repercussive effects on the Nigerian economy, that's for the first time in my life I heard Nigeria went into a recession. So I was, it wasn't so great. So we have something similar. Same thing with Bitcoin. I was even praying, Bitcoin, please bridge the highs because I knew a lot of people that had Bitcoin and they were buying collapsed. People getting wiped out. People, fortunes getting wiped out. So for the good thing about you being a trader and the good thing about you guys listening to Dapo Willis is they're always positioned in the best place. So I'll tell you before it happens. I'll tell you right before it happens. So don't worry about that. Just the most important thing is that you're trading in the right direction and you're making money. As traders, we make money. If it's going up, it's coming down sideways, but we always make money. So the same thing for, it's looking like, well, I'm highly likely for gold, right? I'm looking at gold, like gold. You tried. Gold has been here since last year. Since this is 28th of, look at the first time we spiked to 20th of July, 20, first of July, 20, this is 20, 20, I mean, this is second year we've been. Gold has been here for, for, geez. Gold has been here for two years in this range. Gold has been in this range for two years. You know what that means? And we've been unable to break it. And this second breach is lower than the first one. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, all I can say is if gold bridges this current level as we speak or more, the next level target for gold is gonna be here. First of all, let me map out these levels so carefully so that we can know what's happening. Once again, if you wanna learn how to map out your levels so clearly, so effectively, like the Australian Dapoalists, you need to grab the freaking program. Okay, so there you go, guys. Next level target for gold, if we break one, seven, two, four, next level target will be one, five, two, zero. So two things can happen to gold as long as we, if we continue staying below this green bar and we break down here, guys, we're coming here. If we break down here, we're coming here and it's not even rocket science. So I'm just gonna be monitoring gold. If we start to rally all the way to the upside, all well and good, we'll look for mobile and opportunities. However, as we speak, gold is currently moving sideways. So I will keep gold in one corner. I'll be watching, I made money. This trade was very sweet. I made money all the way down here. How do I make money? Okay, let me tell you how I made money on this trade. Let me give you guys a little expo. So there's a little trick. When the market pushes up highs, we push up again, we are unable to break the highs. As you know, once it's a double top and the market is coming down, coming down, once the double top holds, we must come to the neckline just like what happened in Bitcoin, right? Remember the double top and it started coming down. Neckline next. Same thing with this guy. Double top, next thing he was coming on, I had to come to the neckline. So what usually happens, guys, a little trick. We usually stop in between midway, midway of the game, we stop mid. Nah, guys, I'm gonna save this for the Forex Mastery program. I can't do that. Nah, nah, nah, this is some juice, this is some juice.

Oh, yeah. It sounds good. Do you need me to be on there? If you want to be everything's good Everything's good Thanks, man. Take care What is up guys and welcome back to the Johnny Q channel. Thanks so much for watching in today's video I'm gonna make it pretty brief because I'm parked on the side of the road And I shouldn't be What's new right? I'm gonna quickly go over how to shoot B-roll to get your camera Well, you want to do set it to 60 frames a second or 120 whatever your camera goes up to you The more frames in your shot the more frames per second the better It's gonna be for slowing down for slow motion B-roll a shot of me coming out and kind of getting the door of my car Get really close And we're gonna do is this because it's supposed to be slow motion You got to do a quick movement what I want to do is actually like getting position So what I'm doing is I'm up to the door and I'm already in position to get you know to back up like this So I can so I can eventually slide if you saw that Position slide Because the worst thing you can do is try to get B-roll that's not really smooth and that whole push and slide thing Makes me so that when I when I come back my transition is from here to here Like it's really smooth and that's what we want to do. So you're up to your subject You want to make sure you're in position You want to hold the camera steady another thing here What you want to do is keep your elbows close to you so you have enough stability So you're not shaking your camera you want as much stability with your camera and your body as you move backward to make it smooth So here we go. This is what it looks like Recording position I was locked in here we go and you see how that just you know I fell back. I held it as long as possible without falling on my face Here's another one to get slow motion B-roll again You're gonna want to be in 60 frames a second or 120 depending on your camera and it's the pan That's literally it's a pan. You just pan from left to right right to left top to bottom bottom to top I mean whatever you want to do.

So this subject as we all understand is faith and it is the foundational subject of who we are as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. So when we talk about faith, it is an essential it's not an option for a believer. It is an essential and it has to be an integral part of our journey with the Lord. So how do we understand faith and how do we apply faith that is going to be our intention in this particular course to really gain an understanding of it and not just to know what faith is in terms of the scriptural knowledge but practically to be able to gain this and apply it in our own lives. So that is the intention behind this particular course. So when we talk about faith, which scripture comes to your mind the first scripture that you can think of in the Bible any reference. Okay, Hebrews 11 and verse 1. I would someone like to read it for us please Hebrews chapter 11 and verse 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence things not seen. Okay, so faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. It's talking about a couple of subjects here which we will try to understand one by one. Now faith is and it says substance, substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So at the word faith in the New Testament we see that both the words faith and the word believe comes from the same Greek word. The Greek word would be it's given here the faith is a Pistis. Okay, so it comes from that particular variation of the root word and you have the word believe which comes from the root word Pistio. Now both of these words thought they have a similar meaning. We see that faith is more of a noun and believe is more of a verb. Okay, so when we say noun it is you know we know that we generally use it to describe an entity or a person or you know the things like that and when we talk about a verb it's more of an action something that we do. So both faith and believe are connected. They come from the same root word faith is a noun but believe is an action. So believe is something that you and I need to do. Okay, so that is how we understand these two words. Now believing is so close to the word faith. So when we say that I believe it's understood that we are talking about faith which we carry in our hearts and when we believe we will see later on that there is some action to follow. So when we say that we believe it is something that we are doing and it's generally connected with a sort of an action. Okay, so we will understand all these things in depth but the point that I want to make is that both these words faith and believe are connected while faith is more of a noun believe is more of a verb. Okay, believe is something that we do. Now moving along we notice that faith is defined as a conviction or a constancy. So it simply means that when I say that I have faith. Okay, I have a belief in my heart. Alright, so I already have a belief in my heart. Now it's kind of challenging to explain it the right way but you know you can use all kinds of English terms such as assurance. I have an assurance in my heart or I have a conviction in my heart or you know something like you have a matter that is settled in your heart. So I usually like to use one example. That example is let's imagine that this entire room is dark. Okay, and you are familiar with this room and you know that in certain spots. Okay, again let's imagine all the tables that are there in this room don't exist. You have only one table in the middle in the center of the room. Even if the room is dark, right, you know that there is a table in the center of the room and you're not able to see it with your eyes but what is the assurance that you have? What is the conviction that you have? What is the belief that you have in your heart? There is a table. Right, so if we switch off the lights and let's say you know there is a table but I don't know there is a table. Okay, and I ask you can you walk around this room and you say something like yes we can walk around this room but there is a table and I might tell you what are you talking about? There is no table. No, we can't see any table but you are telling me no, I know there is a table. Right, so even if I ask you to walk, you may walk very carefully because you know that you might hit against the table. Now this is not visible to your eyes but you know. Okay, so I'm just using the term you know for the assurance or the conviction or the belief that you carry within you that something exists even though you can't see it isn't it? Even though somebody else cannot see it only you know that is it exists but notice that you know faith is that substance or that assurance that we carry within ourselves about the things that we cannot see and we say we cannot see we are referring to the natural world. So in the natural world we are not able to see certain things yet we can say that those things exist because from the example that I gave you certain things do exist and we know right that they exist. So this is the manner in which I want to explain conviction to us or an assurance where we know deep within that yes it exists. I cannot see it but this exists. Right, so this is how you know we can sort of get a grasp of what faith looks like. Okay, now we've understood that faith is a conviction, it's an assurance, it's a constancy because these are all connected English words that you can use to understand what faith really is. Now let's continue to talk a little bit more about faith. Yeah, I'm just going in order of the notes that are given just for a better understanding today. So please follow along with me as this is your first class. So in our notes there is another comment about faith. What is this comment? It says that faith is not a mental ascent. Okay, faith is not a mental ascent. So what does that mean? So when I hear something like you know God is a healer. Okay, I heard God is a healer the first time. So when I hear God is a healer what happens? There are two things, two ways in which I can actually receive it. One is in my head where I say yes the pastor said God is a healer. Okay, he is a healer or I read the Bible it says God is a healer. Maybe God is a healer. So in my head I have received it. Okay, but when it comes to my own life circumstance and I am going through a sickness maybe I'm struggling to believe that God can heal me. I am struggling to really accept it in my heart. So you see there are two places. One is the mind, isn't it? The other one is the heart and the Bible says that the heart is the place where we believe. We believe God from the heart. So belief comes from the heart. Sometimes we can confuse faith as just a mental ascent. Mental ascent means saying yes you heard something and you're saying yeah that's right. Yes that's right but we may not actually believe it. Do you get what I'm trying to tell you? We may say yes to that thought but it may not be what I believe in my heart. So that is the difference. Faith is not just knowing things. Okay, I know the Bible. I know about God. I know about you know the power of God. I know all these things. Yeah, the Bible says so, the leaders say so, people say so. I know it in my head but what is faith? Faith is beyond. Faith is deeper. Right? Faith is not in the head. Faith is in the heart. So the thoughts that the word of God teaches us the truth that the word of God teaches us we must receive it in our heart. Okay, so when we receive it in our heart that's the place. The heart is the place where the believing happens and you know faith is actually housed in the heart. Did you understand the difference? Sometimes we just receive a message with our mind that does not necessarily mean faith. But when we believe it, it goes into our hearts and it becomes our, I was using the words conviction, assurance, right? Constancy. When it goes into our hearts, then we say that we have faith in this matter. I have faith that God is my healer. So then what do I begin to do? I can begin to apply it in my life because I believe that this is what it is. This is how God is. This is what God does. So automatically my behavior in that situation or my choices in that situation will be in response to the faith that I carry in my heart. So let's just move ahead and please feel free to interrupt me at any point if you have any questions. So now we have clarified what faith is and the fact that faith is not just a mental ascent but it's something that we truly believe. And now coming to the same scripture that we read earlier. I said there are many parts to it. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the things not seen. So that is the verse for us. Now the other word then substance, what does that word substance mean? So substance also comes from a Greek word. This Greek word is hypostasis and what does it refer to? It refers to a support or like I told us we have an assurance in our hearts when we say that we have faith. But faith is the substance or there is something that something exists in the spiritual realm. There is a substance. In English we use the word substance for a thing. Something is there. So faith is the substance of things hoped for. Now how do we understand this? This simply means we are hoping for something. We are hoping to get something. Let's imagine we are hoping to buy a very expensive equipment or maybe let's talk about land. If we have to buy land it's so expensive. You can't just give money, you can't just swipe your card and buy a huge piece of land. So how do people usually buy a piece of land? They will go for the purchase and generally they will be given a letter. Maybe a small amount will be paid and they will give a letter saying okay this land it will be transferred on the name of so and so and this much amount will be paid later on. Now even though you have not paid the full amount according to the law that land will belong to you because you are the one who has made the deposit and you have got that initial letter and generally that letter is referred to as title deed. Now if anyone comes and asks you saying do you have a land? Your answer would be I do. I have a land. I have the confirmation. You know look at the title deed. I have the title deed with me which says that the land belongs to me but do you actually have the land? Not yet because you have not paid the full amount. It's the moment that you complete your entire payment. They will allow you to come in right? Then you can take possession of the land you can you know set it up you can build the building that you want to and all of that but what's happening now? Right now you are still the owner of the land because you have the title deed and the title deed says you have done the minimum required payment that land belongs to you but actually you will enter the land maybe one year down the line two years down the line. So the point that I want us to understand is faith is like that. Faith is the substance meaning right now and you see that scripture says now faith is meaning there are things in the future that we are hoping for promises of God upon our lives which right now it's not fulfilled. You don't see it but there is a substance. There is a title deed that you and I carry in our hearts and what does the title deed say? Yes that promise of God on my life is yes and amen. He's already done it for me. It's going to happen. I'm going to see it it will be revealed. I will walk in those promises but all that is going to happen tomorrow. How do you know today that it's going to happen because I have faith in my heart. I have a substance in my heart. What is that substance? It's like a title deed. It's just an example. You're not saying that faith is a title deed. It's just an example. In this way I will walk into the promises of God in the future but today I do have something in my heart. What is that? Faith. I have faith and my faith says that God is going to do this. God will accomplish this in my life. God will do this in my church. God will do this in my country. God will do this in the nations of the world. How can you tell? Brother, wake up. How can you tell? I have faith. Faith. Now faith. I carry something in my heart. That is the substance. Isn't it? So yes we don't see the manifestation. Manifestation simply means we don't see these things in reality or in the natural reality but they exist in the spiritual reality and in our hearts we carry the substance. Now faith is the substance. Do you understand what we are trying to say? Okay, so we carry in our hearts a conviction, an assurance, a substance or a support. Something exists. That's how we know that God is going to do this. We're not just simply saying, this is going to happen. That is going to happen. Not simply. We are saying it on the basis of faith. I'm carrying faith in my heart so I know what is coming up because now faith is the substance. I have something to hold on to. You know when there something exists, I told you about the table in the dark. When you touch it, can you feel it? Of course, it exists. You can feel it. It's a table. So even though it may seem sort of invisible to the natural reality, in the spiritual reality, faith is the substance. You can touch it. You can feel it. You can know that it exists. Right? Based on the word of God, based on the promises of God. So that is what faith is and faith comes with that substance or some support that God gives in our hearts. So on the basis of that, we can really journey along with God. So let's keep moving on. We also see another word which is evidence. Okay? Evidence. So it says faith is the evidence of things not seen. So what is evidence? Everyone's been watching some, you know, detective series. So I'm sure you know what evidence means. What is evidence? Proof. That's right. Proof. So the way we look at it is God plants some seeds in our hearts today as a proof that something is going to happen tomorrow. So when we have faith, it is, we said substance. But it is also the evidence. Online class, there was a slight interruption. So the recording went off, but we're back again. And I'll just continue from where I stopped. And I was talking about the fact that faith is also the evidence. Right? So faith is the substance that we carry today. Faith is also the evidence of the things which are unseen and are yet to come. So in this manner, we are kind of getting a picture of what faith really means. Now let's look at the same verse. And in that verse, there is the phrase towards the end which says the things hoped for. The things hoped for. So what does it mean? It simply means that there are some things that we are expecting joyfully from God. Right? Good things which are promised in his word. Good things that God is going to do in our lives. So do we ever hope for something to go wrong or to something to be destroyed? No, we don't. Naturally, we don't. We only hope for good things. And we know that God is a good God. He has good promises over our lives. And the scripture also says that faith, now faith is the substance, the evidence of what things hoped for. Right? So things that we hope for. So the promises of God that bring about an expectation in our heart regarding what God is going to do. Faith is that matter, the spiritual matter that we carry in our hearts. So we must remember that we should be, if we are journeying with God, there needs to be hope in our lives. Isn't it? Because the more we read the word, the more we worship God, the more we obey God, what happens? We receive from the nature of God. And the Bible says that our God in the book of Romans, he's the God of all hope. Okay? He doesn't impart hopelessness, discouragement into our lives. Instead, we receive hope. So hope comes into our being when we know who God is, what he can do. And so the scriptures are connecting our hoping in God along with faith. Right? And it says that faith is that substance, evidence of the things that we hope for, the things which are yet unseen. Why are they unseen? Why are some things still unseen? Any idea why they may be unseen? Because it has not happened in our life. We are talking about having faith. We know that those things will happen. But why are they still unseen? Because it is, we are in the natural and that is in the spiritual. Okay. It needs to come to pass. Okay? He's right. Because these things are in the future. But now what do we have? We have faith. Now we have faith and later we will have the things which we are hoping for. So the things that we are hoping for are ahead of us. They're in the future. But the fact that they exist in the future, right, is evident because of faith that we carry. Faith is the substance. It's the title deed. Today we can show our faith and say, I know God is going to do this. I know, you know, the power of God is going to make this happen based on the substance, the evidence that I carry in my heart today for the things that are going to come up in the future, the things that we hope for. Okay. Then and faith is also a solid foundation and we base our expectation on faith. Now we are going to study and examine faith very thoroughly as we go ahead. But before we get into that, one thing I want to make clear is that faith is a solid foundation. It means that it is not just in my imagination. You know, sometimes we can imagine all kinds of things. Now think about this. If I go up to the terrace of this building and I imagine I'm going to fly. Okay. What would be your advice be to me? No man, please don't jump. You cannot fly. But it is my imagination that I can fly. Right? So I go up to the roof and I jump off. What is the likelihood? Gravity, isn't it? So whatever goes up has to come down. So I don't think I'll be flying with wings. I'll just come straight down and meet the ground. So there are certain things that are just in our imagination and those things are not solid. You got it? But what does the scripture say about faith? Faith is a solid foundation. We will talk about the life of Abraham, how God promised him in his old age and said, you will have a son. You will have a son with your wife and you will have descendants. You will have offspring. You will have a generation. It was unbelievable. How can somebody who's about like 100 year old bear a son. But we will see how Abraham had faith in what God spoke. Faith is solid foundation. Faith is not imagination. So when God speaks to us, that becomes solid foundation. We base our faith on what God is saying. Not what I want. You know, I'm going to be like this. I'm going to be like all that may be my, you know, my own expectation, my own imagination. That is not faith. What is faith? God is saying, God's word is saying. So I'm basing my trust, my believing on what the word says. And when I do that on the basis of what the word says, I have a solid foundation. You understand? So faith is solid foundation. It's not just our imagination. And no faith helps us to hold on to something today. We hold on to something today and you know, it can really drive us when let's, let's take for example Abraham. He did not have any children, but God spoke to him and what did he carry? We are talking about substance evidence, isn't it? Of the things hoped for. So when he did not, he actually did not have children. He had something in his heart and that was faith, isn't it? And with that faith, what was he doing? He was hoping. He was hoping, meaning he was putting his trust in what God was going to do in his life. And so when we read passages about the life of Abraham, we see, he used to look at the stars in the sky. He used to look at the sand on the shore and used to say, Hey, you know, my descendants are going to be so many because that is a hope that he's carrying in his heart. So even today, when we have the hope that these things are going to come to pass in my life based on what God has spoken, we carry, you know, we dream of those things. We look forward to those things actually happening, right? Based on what God has said. So hope again is connected to the faith that we carry in our hearts. And faith is a proof of ownership. I've already discussed that and I've clarified that with all of us. It's like the title deed analogy. And this is, this is how we would assess and sort of get an idea about what faith is. So I just want to pause for a moment in case you have any questions or just comments to discuss about, let's, let's talk about it. And then we will proceed ahead. So far, whatever you've heard, are there any clarifications? Yes, yes. Faith and belief. Okay, faith and belief, are they the same? Are they a little different? That's your point. Okay, so what we are saying is, they come from the same word, same meaning. Faith and belief are very close, the meaning of both the words. But faith is something that you carry, belief is something that you do. Okay, so belief is more of an action. Faith is more of, you know, this exists, sort of a thing. I hope you got my point. So in English, that's why we said faith is a noun and belief is a verb. So faith is, belief is something that we have to do. Yeah, I hope the clarifications, sure. Anything else? Anything else? There's no wrong question. So give it a try if you have any questions or, you know, even from your own experience, if you want to share something, please feel comfortable. We can pass the mic around and online students, you can always unmute and ask your questions, please. All right, so what we'll do is we're kind of coming to the close of this session and I will wait for a little bit more time and probably just stop the session, the recording and we will restart the next recording after 10 minutes. Online students can stay on the same call, you don't have to disconnect. All right, so any questions, any thoughts? Yes, get through it. Please go ahead. Faith also is a gift of the Holy Spirit, right? So when we don't have... Okay, get through it, please give us some more. We are not able to hear you here. We'll just check. Then you're here now. Okay, I'm sorry about that, not able to hear you. So if you don't mind if you could kindly type your question on the chat, I'll answer it, post the break. Yeah, I hope that's okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Let's go in for a break. We'll come back in 10 minutes.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc8ne_YTfCM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

If you have not watched Part 1, please do so before watching Part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6suHQnkrmE In Part 1, you met my mother’s lifelong friend, Beth. In Part 1, Beth broke down the history of the Hoyt family in Rome as well as the historic house Beth and her brothers grew up in. You also got to meet Annie Laurie, Beth’s great aunt. Beth was very close to her great aunt Annie Laurie...even though Annie Laurie actually died in 1891… In Part 2, you’ll get to meet Beth’s daughter, Keely. Out of all the ghost stories I’ve heard in my life, one particular story of Keely and Annie Laurie carries evidence of the existence of ghost. Evidence I have never seen in any other ghost story out there. This is not the end of Annie Laurie. In fact, some stories have been left intentionally for future videos on the topic. Stay tuned for more. We have so much more to tell.

The first category is demonic or poltergeist. These hauntings usually involve entities that were not ever human and wish to cause harm. The next category is a residual haunting. This is the most common haunting that people will experience. This haunting involves a trauma. A residual haunting is like a stamp in time. For example, if somebody dies in a sudden or tragic death, it's almost like the energy of their being was placed in this moment in time and it goes on repeat, almost like a scratched record or a scratched CD. In fact, many paranormal investigators believe that with the residual haunting, the spirit of the person or the soul of the person is not actually in the haunting. Again, it's just like the outline of their being was stamped in time because of the impact of the trauma. For example, over our history, many hauntings involve people who have fallen out of a window to their death. Some of these hauntings, people will see the people who died still standing by the window. Paranormal investigators believe that that doesn't mean the person's soul is there. It's just an imprint, a photograph of what happened right before they died and that energy is still what is present, not necessarily the person. However, our third category of hauntings is what is called an intelligent haunting. This is when the spirit of the person is able to interact with the people who are still alive. It's when the spirit is able to come through the veil and communicate. These intelligent hauntings are aware that they are no longer in a living body. They're usually able to tell people still alive how they died or who they are or were in life. In my opinion, this is definitely the case of Annie Laurie. You got to know Annie Laurie and the Hoyt family, Beth Hoyt, in part one. Now in part two, you're going to get to meet Beth's daughter, Keeley. Keeley and I are the same age, and Keeley has some very, very profound evidence of Annie Laurie's existence. This is part two of Annie Laurie's story. So if you have not seen part one yet, I do recommend that you watch that first. Part one will be linked below. Now this part two is also not the end of Annie Laurie's story. I still have a lot more interviews that I would like to do over people's experience with her. So if you're not subscribed, please hit the subscribe button and hit the bell so you can be notified when we upload more videos about Annie Laurie or any other story on this channel. I will also place links to Keeley and Keeley's business down below in the description box. All right, let's get started. Welcome to SO Terrick Atlanta. My name is Bryce, and today we're going to be talking about Annie Laurie and the letter. About the Hoyt house and the hauntings that went on in the house, I am Eleanor Hoyt's granddaughter, so I am fifth generation in the family, and I have lots of cool stories to tell. So in part one, your mother spoke about Annie Laurie, the ghost, in your grandparents' house, in the history of the house. When did you first learn of Annie Laurie? I was probably around eight or nine years old when I first started really becoming interested. I might have heard about it before then, but when I could really understand, I was probably around eight or nine years old. I was super interested in scary things and horror movies, and we went to Blockbuster every weekend and rented out a scary movie, and so it just became an interest of mine. And once I got old enough to really seek out the ghost and know what that meant and what it was, we would go to my grandmother's house every weekend, almost, me and maybe one or two of my friends, and my mom would just kind of summon her. We would have a little seance in front of the mirror where she lived, and yeah, it kind of went from there. So during the seances, we would make sure that it was pitch-black dark. It had to be, the sun had to be completely gone before we could start. We would walk up into the older part of the house, which was no longer lived in by my grandparents. They lived in the newer part of the house in the front, or actually, that's the back, the front was the older part. So it'd be pitch-black dark, no heating or air on at all. So whatever the temperature was at the time, if it was cold, it was cold back there, if it's hot, it's hot back there. So we would go up with one single candle, usually in a little holder. And we would set it in front of the mirror, and we would all kind of make like a little half circle around however many there were. Usually there were at least three of us, because I needed somebody else with me. And my mom would just kind of start talking, and she would just say, you know, Annie Laurie, if you're here, please give us a sign that you're here. You know, my daughter's with us, and one of her friends, and she really wants to meet you. And I would love to introduce you to her. And most of the time, we would just start feeling really cold, which happened pretty much every time we said something to her. When you would get chill bumps, you know, your hair would stand up, you know, you would just feel like something. And then a lot of times you'd feel like something was just kind of watching you, whether it was behind you or in front of you or around you or whatever it was, somebody was in there with you. And then a few times the candle just would completely go out, like it would start flickering, and eventually the flame would just disappear. And we would be left in the dark. So we know from your mother, when she did part one, that Annie Laurie was such a huge part of your family. I mean, she literally is one of your ancestors. She's what your great, great aunt. And so when your parents, it's almost like, in my opinion, it sounds like your mom and your grandparents and perhaps your uncles almost had to prepare maybe you and your cousins and your brother and your sister for what the inevitable, that you were going to eventually meet Annie Laurie because she was just such a presence in your grandmother's house. So when your mom and your grandmother were preparing you as a child to get used to this phenomenon, what were some of the things that they either told you or that you witnessed as a small child that were convincing to you that there was actually a ghost in your grandmother's house? I think one of the big things my mom would tell me stories all the time, either before we went and tried to summon her or just, you know, driving down the road just when we talk about it, it's so interesting. So I think one of the biggest things was the parlor doors that separated the dining room from the living room, huge pocket parlor doors, you know, ceiling to floor, I mean, huge doors. And one day, it was like a Saturday night, my mom and her brothers were playing with those doors and they got pushed, you know, a good probably foot back into the wall. And I mean, you know, the opening was as big as the door so you can't stick anything in there or anything. So my grandfather, my mom said, was just super upset. He would have to call somebody to come get the doors, you know, either knock down the wall or something, use some type of tool to get the doors back out. And so, of course, they went to bed just all kind of upset that that had happened and they woke up the next morning and tried to cut through to get to the kitchen and the doors were actually closed and locked. That was obvious. No human had done that. Right. As you said, they would have had to take down the wall to get the doors to go out. Correct. I mean, the doors were probably, you know, that far back into the wall. Right. So even to try to reach your hand in there and pull it, there was not enough space for any human being to get that, you know, to get those doors back out. Those were very popular old Southern dividers, those doors. Right. Yes. Yes, and they were heavy and they were, you know, like I said, as big as the whole wall itself. So to be closed and locked in the morning, that was a true testament to the force. Yes. What did your grandfather say? What was his reaction to that? Well, I mean, of course, I obviously wasn't there, but my mom just said he was, he was just kind of just like, OK, well, whoever did that, you know, just a little bit dumbfounded, you know, but obviously thankful that he didn't have to call anybody. And she said, there's some money. Right. Right. She helped him out. It was her house too. Yes. And then my grandmother just, we would go over there every day after school. And I stayed with her lots and lots of times, just, you know, on the weekends or just for hours at a time. And we would be sitting there and something would happen. Like, she had an old radio in the kitchen, and it would just cut on and start playing some music. And she'd say, oh, you know, that was Annie Laurie. She just wanted us to hear some music, you know, and she'd walk in there and cut it off, or we'd be watching, like, I love to watch different shows when I got to her house. And the TV would just cut off randomly. And she'd say, oh, my gosh, that was Annie Laurie. I've got to turn it back on now, and she'd flip it back on. And we'd hear, like, we'd hear things in the older part of the house just, like, you know, thuds or every now and then. And she'd just kind of look and not really say anything. I mean, wasn't really concerned about it. But yeah, just little things like that that kind of solidified in my mind that there was something there. Okay, so I've pulled your mama Beth back in for this, because this next story I remember, like it was yesterday. And we're always, as human beings, especially those of us who have experienced hauntings or paranormal phenomenon, we're always looking for proof. We want to be able to prove to ourselves that we're not crazy and prove to other people that what we're experiencing isn't just coming from our own minds. And so you told a story when we were very, very young, by the way, Keeley and I are the same age, so we are the same generation down from our mothers, about a letter that you had left Annie Laurie. And it's quite a funny story and a miraculous story that I'll let you guys continue. Okay, so like you said, I wanted validation. I wanted proof because that was just the cool thing. And I had my own stories, but then we tell people, they're like, oh, okay, yeah, sure. They just kind of smile and you know. But of course, at the same time, I was pretty scared. I'm not gonna lie that it was a little terrifying. I really would not go up in that part of the room. I mean, part of the house by myself. I always didn't have my mom or my grandmother or somebody with me. But I did get this idea when I was around 11. I'm pretty sure I was 11 years old, around sixth grade. I decided to write her a letter because people respond to letters. And you didn't tell anybody that you were writing this letter, did you? I'm pretty sure I told my mom that I was writing it. But I will never forget, I went in Yachty's kitchen and Yachty is my grandmother. I went in her kitchen and I pulled out some of her blank. She had a little drawer where she kept her notepads and I wrote out just a little letter, like asking kind of for her friendship, asking for Annie Laurie's friendship. And basically asking her like not to scare me at any point because I mean, I could barely like go to the restroom in my grandmother's house without like being scared of what was on the other side of the door. So this is kind of like my little plea. Like, okay, please be my friend and not, you know, scare me, don't jump out and scare me at any point. So I just heard a little letter that said, you know, dear Annie Laurie, I want to become your friend. Well, I could show it, but I was gonna read it. You seem very nice and I underlined very, you know, to try to emphasize. You seem very nice the way my mom describes you. I am Keeley, so I introduced myself, Elizabeth's daughter, and I put the one that you showed yourself to. If you want to be my friend, then sign this or make something in the house. So to me, this was my way of saying like, okay, this is my like peace offering. You know, I want to be your friend. If you want to be my friend, then do either one of these things. I said, or because I really did not think that that it goes could sign a letter, but you know, wishful thinking. And you did tape a pin to the side. I did. So you can see the old tape. The old tape was right here. So I taped this to the mirror because there's a full length mirror as my mom mentioned. And I put the pin, I'm pretty sure it was probably about right here with this little rip is, the pin with a little, you know, top on it that could kind of sit there. And I left it there. And probably, well, I want to say maybe the next day or a couple of days later, my grandfather was admitted to the hospital just for a little, I think he might have had like a small stroke or, I'm not sure. Nothing too serious. He was there a couple of days. But he was there a couple of days and so I remember my grandmother going and staying with him. I think she stayed with him most of the day, if not, you know. So anyway, she came back one of the days that she had been away and she always checks the house when she gets home and she went into the older part of the house. And when you enter into the older part, you come into the dining room from the kitchen, from the breakfast room, you come to the dining room. And she had big, big window sills with potted plants all over that she would have to water and check on. So she watched the dining room and one of her potted plants was over on its side on the carpet, on the rug. So she had a rug underneath her dining room table and there was probably a good three feet, a good three feet, if not more, between the window sill and the rug. Well, the potted plant was on the rug, turned over on its side, but none of the dirt had spilled out at all. It was just like it was set there. And even being set there was a real plant. I mean, the dirt was not spilled. Like it's- Very considerate. Because it was a very old, beautiful carpet. Almost like defying, you know, I don't know. She wouldn't want to get that dirty. So she saw that and then she continued walking into the living room where the big mantel fireplace and one of her Tiffany, antique Tiffany vases was shattered into a gazillion pieces on the floor. And so that, of course, made her upset. And then there was a picture of my mom, just a little framed like five by seven picture of my mom on one of the little tables. And it was turned over on the rug face down, which again, the rug was a good two or three feet away from the hardwood or the floor. So it was turned face down and she immediately just thought, you know, some type of little animal or something had gotten in. And she, I mean, she was furious that one of her vases were broken. So she called like a pest control company and she said, I need y'all to come out. Apparently there's something- A big squirrel or something missing on the ground. Something is getting in, you know, a raccoon or something. And do you wanna, I mean she- So pest control came out there, a very nice man and he looked around and said, well, Ms. Hoyt, all the windows have motion detectors and sensors on them. If anything had gotten in through the window, a little arm would have gone off. And he said, and no, most of the detectors went off and he said clearly there's no animal in here. And so he said, I don't really know what to tell you. You know, what happened? And so my mother just, she couldn't figure it out. Well, on her little daily walks through the house, probably the next day, she goes into my bedroom where the mirror is and where she discovered the letter hanging on the mirror and she read the letter and got to the part where Keeley asked Annie Laurie to break something in the house. And she, of course, was furious. And she called me, picked up that phone, called me. She said, I'm gonna get that, Keeley. She got Annie Laurie to come and break something. It's probably my Tiffany lamp. I mean, base, should you get her over here right now? So I had to go pick her up from a friend's house and we had to go over there and we had to make amends. But of course the first thing I saw was the signature at the bottom of the page. And that was- That's pretty incredible. That was just the most- And the pin was laying on the floor. The pin was inside the closet. Yeah, inside the closet. And the closet door was closed. I mean, nobody had opened the closet door. So the pin was inside the closet, not attached to the letter anymore. And obviously the signature. And so yeah, I mean, it was my claim to fame. And of course the older I got, I would ask, I actually asked Yachty a couple of times, what happened, did you sign that letter? Did you just tell me? I'm not gonna be upset. Just tell me, ask mom a few times. And I mean, both of them were like, absolutely not. I mean, and plus Yachty's whole thing was, why would I break my vase? Like, why would I? So it's almost like, if we didn't believe this, Annie Laura was like, okay, let me do both of these things so that we can establish that I'm here. And I'll be your friend. And I will be your friend. Yes. I'm not gonna just out and scare you. Right, right. So yeah, this is definitely my claim to just say that there was a presence and that she was real. She's, yeah. So was the punishment worth the crime? Yes, I just kind of got a little talking to and, yeah. Please don't leave any more letters. Please don't leave any more letters. Don't ever do that again, kind of thing. So yes, it was definitely worth it. Definitely worth it, yes. So one of the, probably the last experiences that I had while I lived in Rome was my senior year of high school. We had to do a project. And I'm pretty sure it was my literature class. It was something to do with, we have like a choice board where we could do like a documentary. We could do a video. We could do a story. We could do like several different things. And as soon as I saw this, the documentary, or not the documentary, but the video portion of it, it was around the same time that the Blair Witch Project had come out. I'm pretty sure. And so I instantly thought of that in my grandmother's house and kind of connected the two. And I had a little group with me. I think it was a couple of boys and maybe another girl, so four of us. And I just said, hey, let's create a little script and let's pretend like, you know, we're kind of recreate the Blair Witch Project in my grandmother's house because it's haunted. And we can have, you know, just have some fun going in there at night and filming. And so one of the boys brought his video camera one night. We set it up for one of the weekend nights. And we had a little script and everything that we were going to kind of follow. And he was going to kind of follow us around the house and we were going to act out these different things. And just as soon as we started, I mean, we did not even need the script because it just instantly like took off. We set up, I think first, like in the hallway. So we were at the end of the hallway facing the door, which my mom's room was right off. You could see the door of her room right there in the camera. And we just kind of talked for a minute. Like he was setting it up and getting it all going. And when we cut off the film and watched it back, we saw all these little different orbs and all this lighting that we could not see in real life. So on the video, it caught all of it. And it was all around the front door and kind of coming out of my mom's bedroom and just all right there, super cool. So of course, we're like, oh my God, we gotta keep that. And I forget exactly what we were saying in the background while it was filming, but I feel like I was probably saying something about the house and something about how it's haunted and things like that. And then we moved the camera into the bedroom, into my mom's bedroom and set it up on a tripod. And me and the three other, two other people were sitting in front of the mirror and then the one boy was behind the camera because it was his camera. And of course, it was dark. And we actually, I think we had a candle because that was kind of the norm, just a little candle to see by. And he instantly, as soon as he turned it on, he was like, well, wait a second. He's like, this keeps messing up, this keeps zooming in and out, in and out. And he's like, well, I can't make it stop. We could hear him in the background and we were like, well, come on now, we're ready to get started. Like make it stop. And he was like, I can't. It just has like a mind of its own. Like it just keeps doing whatever it wants to do. Like talking about the camera. And then he finally kind of calmed down and we kind of said a few things. And then he said, well, now I'm gonna have, he's like, it went from like 100% battery to now it's like 5%. And he's like, it just happened like that. And he was like, I'm gonna have to charge it. He's like, it's gonna die. And so we were just like, okay, well, this is so that the mix of the orbs that we couldn't see in real life and the camera just dying just instantly. And he had discharged it, it was ready to go. All of that combined just made for a really cool project. And when we ended up turning it in, the teacher was just, was like, oh my gosh, like most people, and I remember mom asked, can you get that and keep it? And they would not, the boy, he wanted it. He's like, I want this. Like this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. And he's like, I wanna keep this. So with it being his camera and his thing, I was like, all right, you can keep it. So I asked your mother this question when we both grew up here in Rome, Georgia, both were Presbyterians, Deep South, Evangelical. This is the Bible Belt, but also ghost stories are common. They're a big part of Southern culture, as well as the low country in New Orleans having a voodoo and hoodoo. So we are experienced in other forms of faith. However, being of the Christian foundation, how has the story of Annie Laurie affected your spiritual life? I do believe that there is a middle ground for some people. I do, I know I have heard of the unfinished business, you know, kind of stance. And if I had to kind of go from there, I think that that could, there could be some truth to that. You know, Annie Laurie was super young. She was only 18, she hadn't experienced, you know, what normal young women would probably want to experience. She was a painter. So she had started a big mural in one part of the house and apparently had never finished it. And it had been painted over and, you know, so I'm wondering, it just makes me wonder if, you know, she really just felt like she wasn't ready to leave at that time. And to me, that doesn't affect my faith because I still believe in God. I still believe in heaven and hell and, you know, the whole Christian belief. But I do believe that there are some spiritual beings with us for one reason or another. And if it's, you know, in her case, it was just that unfinished business that she, you know, maybe never got to finish the mural or never got to, you know, experience becoming a mother and living life and, you know, being married and things like that. So in depth, it's almost like, I've said this with your mom, it's almost like we have free will of choice even in death. Possibly, possibly. I don't know if I would say that she had free will. I don't know if any spirit has the freedom to say, you know, I want to remain. I don't know if it's something that just sort of happens because of the situation surrounding their death or their, you know, like you said, kind of the energy that they have. I can't explain that part, but I do feel like that we are definitely surrounded by things that are not necessarily human beings, you know, in flesh and blood. So spirit all the time, correct? Yes. So Keeley, a lot of people have these experiences growing up in older homes or not necessarily in older homes where they've had things happen that they can't quite wrap their head around. And a lot of people keep those stories very private because they don't want to be labeled as crazy or they don't want to be looked at in a bad way. Now, for us here in the South, we're used to these haunted houses. This is very normal and I've always admired your family for being so open about Annie Laurie. But if there's anybody out there watching this video that feels the need to connect with you or ask you questions or maybe share their own experiences, there a way that they can get in contact with you. Yes, the best way to contact me would be through my email. It's Keeley-K-E-E-L-Y-1624 at gmail.com. And I will put that down in the description box below as well as I will put a link to Keeley's business too so you can check her out there. And we will be seeing Keeley again because we have another part to this story that we're gonna film. We're not done with these stories. There's even more Annie Laurie to come. So thank you so much, Keeley. Thank you. Thank you so much.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCE20LvSXZs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCV-WittrGkRyONzX6UmCaiA	Unconditional UC Secure Computation with Stronger Malicious PUFs	Paper by Saikrishna Badrinarayanan and Dakshita Khurana and Rafail Ostrovsky and Ivan Visconti presented at Eurocrypt 2017. See https://www.iacr.org/cryptodb/data/paper.php?pubkey=28026	null	2017-09-12T03:34:21	2024-03-04T14:21:01	1,385	PcJ_Tchw4Xo	Hello, everyone. My name is Sai Krishna. I'm going to be talking about unconditional UC secure computation with stronger malicious puffs. This is joint work with Daksha Thakurana, Rafael Ostrowski, and Ivan Visconti. We're all sitting here in the audience. So before we get into our results, let's review what is secure two-party computation. Let's say there are two parties, P1 and P2 with inputs x and y respectively. Let's say they want to jointly evaluate some function f on their two inputs. So let's say they take part in some protocol with several rounds, several messages being exchanged, and finally each party learns the output of the function on both their inputs. Indulterably, what is the security guarantee we want from such a protocol? Let's say there is an adversary that corrupts the first party P1. We want to say that the adversary does not learn anything at all about the other input y. Apart from whatever it could have deduced just from the function output. So generalizing this, Kennedy introduced the framework of UC secure computation which we heard about in the previous talk. What does UC security says? It says that let's say there are several parties in the network interacting in several protocols, but perhaps computing different functions, and now let's say some adversary corrupts one party P2. Security requirement we want is that this adversary should not learn anything at all about any other party's input, apart from whatever it could have learned just from the function outputs. As you can imagine, UC security has numerous applications, and I'm not going to go into the details of what these are. But unfortunately, it is impossible to construct UC secure computation without a trusted setup assumption. So what are the setup assumptions that are commonly used in cryptography? One is the common reference string model in which general feasibility results were shown starting with the work of Kennedy and others. The other assumptions are trusted physical assumptions. One of which is the hardware tokens, which has been studied extensively, starting with the work of cats, and the focus of our work will be physically unclonable functions or pubs in short. So what are pubs? Pubs are introduced by Papu et al. You can think of it as physical deterministic device that is somewhat like a random oracle. What do I mean? A puff is a manifestation of a random oracle, such that if you query a puff with any input, the output that you get appears to be like a truly uniformly random string. Since it's a physical device, in order to evaluate the device, you need to have the device in your position. So it's a random oracle that is put inside a hardware chip that you need to hold it along with you in case you want to evaluate it. There has been several implementations of a puff. There's been designers trying to design more and more efficient puffs inside smaller chips and so on. So how is a puff designed at a very high level? They use a random physical process, and this results in a unique random function. What do I mean? That if you take two different puffs, the random function that is embedded inside each of them is completely different. I'm not going to go into the details of how they are created. But why should we as cryptographers care about these objects? Firstly, we know that the random oracle model has given rise to numerous applications and interesting results over the last couple of decades. So if you have something that is a physical manifestation of a random oracle, perhaps we can achieve new things in cryptography that we didn't know how to do earlier. Also, puffs are gaining a lot of popularity in several other fields. So perhaps we can leverage that in order to get very efficient protocols in real-world. So puffs were first studied in the context of cryptographic protocols by Bruce Kerr and others, and they required two properties from any ideal puff. The first is unpredictability, which as the name suggests, means that the output of a puff must be unpredictable. What do I mean? Let's say some party created a puff and now wants to query this puff on some value x. The output of the puff on x should be computationally indistinguishable from the output of a random oracle on the same input x. This means that the output of a puff is computationally indistinguishable from a uniformly random string. The second property we want from such an ideal puff is that it should be unclonable. Once again, as the name suggests, what this means is that let's say some party created a puff and sent it across to another party, then the sender who is a creator should not be able to create another copy of the puff that does exactly the same thing. In other terms, this means that you can evaluate a puff only if you have a physical copy of it with yourself. So these are the two properties you would need from any ideal puff. Just thinking again, we saw that a puff can be thought of as a physical manifestation of a random oracle, and in the setting of random oracles, Impagliazo and Rudich showed that key agreement is impossible if we allow only black box access to a random oracle. However, surprisingly, Ruska and others in the same paper showed that not just key agreement, but UC secure computation for general functions is possible unconditionally if we allow puffs. So this is quite surprising and probably this shows the difference between having a physical manifestation of a random oracle. Okay. So the notion of malicious puffs would introduce for Astrosky others. What does a malicious puff mean? In the previous setting, we saw that a puff that any party creates including an adversary should be both unpredictable and unclonable even to the creator. However, an adversary can do something more crazy and we want to strengthen the powers of an adversary. What we want to say is that if an adversary does create a puff, it might not be unclonable or unpredictable to the creator. For example, let's say the adversary who creates a puff embed some PRF key K inside the puff and sense it across to another honest party. Now, if this honest guy queries the puff with some input X, of course, the output, which is the output of the PRF, is going to be unpredictable to the evaluator. But then it does not remain unpredictable to the adversary because he knows that it's the output of the PRF with his own secret key. Once again, since he has the secret key, the key used in the PRF, he can of course create another puff having the same PRF key. In fact, he did not even create another puff in order to query the puff, he can just evaluate the PRF itself. In short, what do I mean? I want to say that an adversary can easily clone such a puff. Therefore, a malicious puff may neither be unpredictable nor unclonable. However, in this model, we still want an honestly generated puff by any honest party to remain unpredictable and unclonable. Further additionally, the adversary might also have the power to create stateful malicious puffs. That means that suppose an adversary sense across a malicious puff to an honest party and this party queries the puff with let's say two strings X and Y. The puff might now store these strings inside it, record it and then later, when the protocol demands that the puff be sent back to the adversary, the adversary can just look into the puff and see what these queries were. Now, as you can imagine, this is detrimental to achieving security because the adversary literally knows almost all the secret inputs of the honest party. However, once again, the same work Ostrowski and others showed that UC secure computation is still possible if we allow malicious puffs to be created. However, they required further additional computational assumptions. This gives rise to the natural question of can we achieve unconditional UC secure computation in the setting of malicious puffs? This was the question studied by Dakman Solid and others in their work, and they show two results. The first is that unconditional UC secure computation is in fact possible if malicious puffs are stateless. On the other hand, it's impossible if malicious puffs are stateful. Now, this looks like the result is tight and this ends the line of work along this aspect if you just want to focus on feasibility results. But then we notice in our work that the impossibility result only holds if the puff can maintain an unbounded amount of state. But we know that a puff is a physical object and any physical object should have some finite size associated with it. Therefore, the amount of bits that the puff can store should be at most upper bounded by its size. This is the starting point of our work where we look at the stateful malicious puffs that can have an a priori bounded state. In this setting, we give a construction of an unconditional UC secure computation protocol. We then consider a new model where the adversary is given further power than in the previous malicious puff model. We define the model known as encapsulated puffs, which at a high level says that an adversary can put one puff inside another and then transfer this new global bigger puff onto other parties. It turns out that all the previous feasibility results are insecure if we allow the adversary to encapsulate one puff into another. Once again, we give a construction of an unconditional UC secure protocol in this setting. Before I get into our construction, the details of our construction, let's review the security definition of any two-party computation protocol. In the left side, there is a real world in which an adversary interacts with an honest party. The adversary has some input x, the honest party has some input y, the honest party has some input x, and they both engage in a protocol execution. Then in the right side, we have an ideal world where once again, there's an adversary with input y, with input y, and honest party with input x. Additionally, there are now two more entities. One is a trusted functionality for computing the function f, and there is a simulator who is denoted by Dumbledore here. And now, once they have their respective inputs, the honest party sends its input over to the trusted functionality. The adversary now engages in a protocol execution, not with the honest party, but with the simulator. And at some point in the protocol, the simulator decides that it has extracted the adversary's input. So it has extracted some value y star, which may potentially be different from the adversary's input y, and sends this value over to the ideal functionality. The functionality responds back to the honest party and the simulator with their respective outputs, and the simulator continues an execution of the protocol with the adversary. So what is the security requirement? We want to say that the adversary cannot distinguish whether he's playing in the left world or in the right world, that is the real world or the ideal world. Before we get into the details of our construction, let's review what the oblivious transfer functionality is, and why is this important? Because we know that oblivious transfer is enough. If you can securely realize oblivious transfer, it's enough to securely realize any two party computational functionality. This was shown in two works by Phillion first and then later by Ishii Prabhakar inside. So what is oblivious transfer? Let's say the sender with two inputs M0 and M1, and a receiver with input B. At the end of the protocol execution, the receiver should learn the value MB, and the sender does not have any output. The security requirement is that the receiver should not learn the other message of the sender, and the sender should not learn the receiver's choice bit. So let's, before we get into our construction, let's revisit the OT protocol with malicious, stateless puffs of Dakman, Solid, and others. So once again, the sender has inputs M0 and M1, the receiver has input B. The sender sends a puff across to the receiver. The receiver queries the puff with some string C that is picked uniformly at random, and the string has length N where N can be thought of as a security parameter. The sender's input messages are also of the same length. After this, the receiver sends the puff back across to the sender. The sender now picks two random strings, X0 and X1, and uniformly random strings, and sends them over to the receiver. The receiver now exhausts its initial random string C with XB, and sends it back to the sender. So I'll be using plus throughout the rest of the talk to denote XR. The sender now computes two strings S0 and S1, where each string is just masking his respective input with the output of a puff. That is, S0 is M0, marched with the output of the puff on Vxor X0, and similarly, S1 is M1, marched with the output of the puff on Vxor with X1. And he sends these two across to the receiver. Now how does the receiver get its output? The receiver computes MB as SBxor with R. Why would this work? Let's see what SB is. SB is MB marched with the output of the puff on XBxor XB, and which is just the output of the puff, which is just MB marched with the output of the puff on C. Notice that the receiver already knows the value of puff of C, so he can receive the output. So this protocol is very simple and elegant, and I guess this is the starting point for our work. Intuitively, why does a malicious receiver not learn the other message of the sender? Because the value M1 minus B is marched by the output of the puff on Cxor X0, XR, X1. It is crucial to note that the receiver does not learn X0 and X1 until he has returned the puff back to the sender. Now by the unpredictability and unclonability of the puff, he cannot learn the value of the puff on this input stream. Let's look at the proof of security against a malicious sender. So let's say we have a sender with inputs M0 and M1 who is interacting with the simulator, and the goal of the simulator is to extract these inputs of the sender. So the simulator receives a puff from the sender, queries the puff on a random string C, sends it back, and proceeds the execution as in the normal protocol, that is the sender sends two strings X0 and X1, maybe random, maybe not. The receiver, who is the simulator here, sends back V as the Xor of C, and one of these two strings, either X0 or X1, and then receives two strings S0 and S1 in the final round. Now the first observation is that the two messages, M0 and M1, appear only in the last round in the two strings S0 and S1. Therefore, the simulator, in order to extract M0 and M1, must in fact extract them from this last round. So how does he go about extracting them? Observe that in order to extract M0 and M1, he has to recover the masked values, and from the previous slide, recall that one of the masked values is the output of the puff on the random string C that he already queried on, and the other masked value is the output of the puff on C, Xor, X0, Xor, X1. So if he knows both these values, he can extract the two messages. However, notice that the simulator does not have access to the puff when he knows the values of X0 and X1. Therefore, in this proof, in the proof of Dakman's solid and others, in order for the simulator to extract the two messages, it needs to query the puff after it has been sent back to the adversary. While this might not be an unreasonable restriction, you can think of a malicious adversary that simply destroys the puff once it gets it back. If the puff has destroyed, then we cannot hope for the simulator to be able to query the puff, even though it doesn't have possession. So how do we go about solving this? In our work, we fix it by forcing the sender right in the first round to send an extractable commitment of the two random strings X0 and X1. We know how to build extractable commitments from just puffs by the work of Damgar and Scafuro. And now notice that a simulator can learn the values of X0 and X1 just from this extractable commitment, whereas a malicious receiver cannot. This follows from the hiding of the commitment. And so now once the simulator knows the values X0 and X1, he can query the puff on both C, as well as CX or X0 or X1 right in the first round before he has to return the puff. So then he can successfully evaluate, he can successfully extract both the sender's messages and the simulator wins. So this provides us some good starting point to base our secure protocol with stateful puffs and let's see what are the potential attacks that we could launch if the puff was stateful. The first attack is as follows, consider an adversarial sender who's interacting with the simulator and after he's given out the extractable commitments, he gives out the puff and does the following. Recall that a simulator has to query the puff on two strings C as well as CX or X0, X1. And the adversarial puff can now notice that these two queries are not completely independent. That is they both correlated because if you exor these two strings you get X0, X1 and the puff in fact knows the two strings X0 and X1. That is, since the adversary can know this correlation it can simply decide to not respond on the second query. If the puff does not respond on the second query the simulator loses and the adversarial Waldemar wins. So this is just one kind of attack. Let's think of, let's look at another attack that a stateful puff could launch. Once again the adversarial sender sends the puff across. Now when the honest receiver queries the puff on some input string C, the puff just stores this value C inside it, does not do anything fishy. And then when the sender gets the puff back he just looks into the puff and sees what the query C was. Now this is detrimental because he can then compute the value of XB as just C XOR with V and you can check whether XB equals X0 or X1 and learn whether the receiver's bit was C or one. So this is just two sample attacks to give you an intuition of why bounded stateful puffs are more difficult setting. But we notice that these two attacks can be generalized to encompass all possible attacks that a stateful puff could launch, a bounded stateful puff could launch. So the first kind of attacks which we saw earlier were the kind where a malicious puff bases its output depending on the previous input queries that it did receive. And we use some special coin tossing combined with some cut and choose to solve this issue and I won't get into the details. The second kind of attacks are when a malicious puff records the queries that are sent to it and then leaks them back to the creator when it's sent back to the sender. Now how do we go about solving this issue? Let's say that the state of a puff is a priori bounded by some value L where L is some polynomial in the security parameter. So now we're gonna perform two L oblivious transfer protocols between the sender and the receiver using the exact same puff. Now you can see that this translates to a setting of a one-sided malicious OT extractor. What do I mean is that the sender learns an L bit leakage function of the receiver's two L choice bits. I'll explain it in more detail. So the sender and the receiver take part in two L oblivious transfer protocols and at the end of the protocol, the receiver's two L choice bits give a leakage to the sender that is the sender gets an L bit output string based on some arbitrary leakage function. So now we give a construction of a new, we give a new construction of a malicious OT extractor in this setting. And the end product is that we get a leak-free secure OT and this helps us to overcome it. And it won't get into the details of our construction but I'll refer you to the paper for that. So now let's go back to our new adversarial model of encapsulated puffs. So let's say there's a sender who sends a puff across to the receiver and after several rounds in the protocol, the receiver has to send back the puff. But now this receiver is malicious in our setting here and instead of sending the same puff back, he sends back this new encapsulated puff. What do I mean by this encapsulated puff? So if the sender queries, for example, suppose the sender queries it on some string starting with zero, it answers back with the same puff but if he queries it on a string starting with one, it computes some other arbitrary function. This other function could be some other different puff or it could be a set of several other puffs that are embedded inside. So this is the stronger adversarial model. Unfortunately, I don't have time to get into the details. Let me just conclude by saying that we look at several new models of puffs and give feasibility results and puffs are gaining a lot of popularity in the world. I think it's important for us as cryptographers to come up with more stronger models to capture these attacks and another direction that we could focus on is improving efficiency and round complexity of constructions based on puffs. And hopefully the goal is that eventually we will help us bring theory closer to practice. Thank you. Thank you. We have a little bit of time for questions. So usually I might be wrong, but at least in the previous paper, Bruce can solve puffs were not modeled like random oracle but something which if you read it repeatedly, you get like something which requires error correction and is also not uniform, right? So you need like to use like fuzzy extractors and stuff. Do your techniques trivially like easily generalize so there are complications? So the answer is yes. So if you take definition from their paper, it's enough. More questions? Do you have any result that show that if you have like an L bounded puff, then the protocol has to be something proportional to L necessarily? No, we don't have any lower bound results and probably that's a good question.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcJ_Tchw4Xo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

We're so excited to have you here for day two of our XPRIZE Rapid Reskilling finalist team summit. My name is Monica Groves, Program Manager for XPRIZE Rapid Reskilling, and we are so happy to have you here. As you guys probably already know because you've been following us since 2020. We launched in January 2020 and we are a $5 million 30 month competition to quickly reskill under resource workers for the digital revolution. We're really looking to forever change the future of work and with our amazing finalist teams, we're imagining a future in which all workers can rapidly attain new and more relevant skills to their current workplace and their next one. The novel solutions developed by our finalist teams are really going to uplift the labor market in the US and close that widening skills gap. Looking at the under resource communities here in the US, they are really face a systemic barriers, such as learning mobility and progress and core problems impeding effective workforce development include of course that widening skills gap, a deteriorating job quality and a lack of collaboration between players in the labor market. And with an unprecedented disruption due to COVID-19, we're really looking at opportunity to radically change the lives of millions of workers here in America. And so we're so happy to have you. Yesterday we started off with a great session. We had a session with niche, a career he spoke about the broader context of achieving scale and reskilling really encouraging words from our sponsor new profit and a lively and informative round table discussion on adult employment and engagement, advances in ed tech, as well as partnerships and funding with Lassie Freeman, Jeff Wald and Holly Heikinen. So we're really excited to get started today. But first up, I want to give some, we'll share some remarks from our ex prize CEO, Anusha Ansari. Here's the video. Hi everyone, Anusha Ansari, CEO of X Prize Foundation. And I am excited to be here and to share with you the story and the accomplishment of the five finalist teams in our rapid reskilling competition and how they've tackled the challenges of closing the skills gap. The training they've offered has been empowering workers and increasing accessibility to full time living wage jobs. And that has radically transformed lives of individuals and has brought abundance to their lives. The finalists are reimagining how job training and career development is done, and they're leveraging destructive technologies like artificial intelligence and VR and demonstrating it with tangible results and how these types of technologies can really change and be effective in a fast paced training programs. Congratulations to all of you finalist teams. The five finalists teams we have, of course, are Aledo, Dignified Work, Team Isotonic, SHIFT-A360, and VITO. You have all done an amazing job and we're so honored that you are participating in this competition and happy to see what's next for you as you move toward the finals. Thank you. Yes, and thank you, Anusha, for being able to record those remarks, although she couldn't be here today. She did pop in live yesterday, so we're really excited to move this along and get into the meat of the program, which will be around our finalists. But first, we have something for you. Are you looking to join us in revolutionizing the future of work? We are seeking outreach partners who are willing to amplify and help us recruit and scale and employ workers who successfully complete the 15 training opportunities that will be available between our five finalists. So if you're here and you're interested, scan the QR code or you can email us at rapidreskilling.xprize.org. So I know you guys are here for the finalists teams. It's the moment you've all been waiting for. We're really excited to bring them on and have the finalists teams be able to speak a little bit about themselves and who they are. So what I'm going to do is just tell you a couple of names and then they're all going to go into session. So we're really excited to have teams here. They'll have about 10 minutes to speak. They're going to be some slides, going to get some really great information, and it's great to see and learn the teams 101 and the great and amazing work that they're doing with their reskilling solutions. So I'm just going to tell you the order and then I'm going to pass it over. We'll have in this order, Dr. Lewis Johnson from Team Laila, Nate Azuka from Team Dignified Work, formerly Dignity of Work, Dr. Nirmalesh Kumar of Team Hire Me. Then we'll have Nelya Ibrahim of Chief of 360 and Sanjeev Bada of Team Vital. So Dr. Lewis Johnson, take it away. Thank you so much. Glad to speak with you all today. Let's have the first slide. We'll get started. So we, Laila, we're based in Los Angeles. We now have a new partner, LoopCV, who's based in London. Our focus at Laila is to help people quickly learn new skills by role playing them with avatars, AI driven avatars in simulations of real work settings. We find that this approach helps people to learn new skills rapidly. And it's also very effective because learners get opportunity to practice in simulations of real world situations so that when they encounter them on the job they're fully prepared for them. We place an emphasis on soft skills and effective communication because these competencies are very important for a variety of occupations in the post pandemic economy. And we've been applying this to a range of different occupations. We've provided training to government and military personnel. We provide training in the healthcare industry. And now we are expanding to sales customer service and other customer facing occupations with 500,000 trainees to date. In the next video, we'll show you how the approach works, how you can practice by interacting with avatars on a computer or device. The world is changing faster than ever, and if we're going to get people back to work and prepare them for the modern workforce, we need a better way to rapidly teach them new skills. That's where a Laila comes in. We believe a Laila's AI driven experiential learning is the key to large scale rapid reskilling. Learn more at alaila.com. So the key to the approach is that you as a trainee get to practice role playing your skills in real world context at your convenience in a safe environment. No one is judging you know you have no reason to feel embarrassed if you make a mistake. You can get comfortable applying occupational skills, but at the same time, our end skill platform is analyzing the trainees responses to provide feedback to provide formative assessments on their progress, and also to select personalized learning activities for each trainee based upon where they're having difficulty. So this combination of practice and personalized learning is very powerful for rapid upskilling and reskilling. We also provide analytics to trainers to trainees to training organizations so that they can track the progress of trainees through the program. Next slide please. So in X, X prize in round two, we retrained underemployed workers for jobs in community health in the Hampton Roads region. We did this in collaboration with the Hampton Roads Workforce Council was very helpful for us in this project. And then afterwards after we placed the workers in jobs, we got feedback from the employers who said that the new hires exceeded expectations in terms of the ability to to work effectively on the job. Now in our preparation for round three, we are working to scale up our solution in part by inviting loop CV to join us. They have a platform for automated job placement. So combining our end skill, automated training with loops CVs automated job placement, we think we have a very powerful and scalable training approach. We are targeting new to new target occupations within X prize sales personnel, as well as human service assistance. And so as you can see these are occupations where soft skills and communication skills are very important. And we see, and our customers tell us repeatedly that this virtual role play that we provide addresses the increasing shortage of opportunities to engage in live role play training. In some ways live role play training is a is a well established way of developing these skills, but people have less and less opportunity to do it, particularly if they are studying remotely. So this helps to address that and compensate for that limitation. Next slide, please. So we ask you now if you are part of the workforce development ecosystem we invite you to join us. If you represent employers who have an urgent need to re up skill your workers. We invite you to talk with us. If you are part of a workforce intermediary and you work with workers who have an urgent need for retraining. We would like to talk with you. If you see a role for a lay low technology in your training pipeline, we would be interested in talking with you. So, I want to emphasize, as I said at the beginning, this approach addresses competencies that are relevant for a wide range of occupations but we could not possibly train them all so we would like to work with other training partners to improve and enhance your training solution. So, again, we invite you to work with us the reskilling problem is very big. But if we work together, we can make progress to solve it. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you. I am happy to be here. My name is Nate and I am with team dignified work. We are a joint venture of two organizations career path services, and whole story, and we are located in Washington State. For us, this project has really driven us to a space of clarity as we have tried to reconcile some work done by our own governor here in Washington State around poverty reduction, about reskilling, and about lifting people out of poverty and the lack of that sufficiency and sustainable wages and long term lifestyles. One of the things that he pointed out, and that organizations in our state have been charged with is advocating for and reducing the pockets that folks face in poverty around social isolation. And that's tough to do when you're working in an environment around rapid reskilling and in technology. So the challenge that we've taken on and have tried to face head on is how do we work towards reducing social isolation in a technological age, connecting people both to employment quickly with new skills and most importantly to one another. That is where dignified work stands. We believe in a rapid reskilling of participants who are entering these three fields, construction, which is what we did in the last round, and adding medical administration so think medical training that is not necessarily clinical but could lead that way but medical administration and in the helps industry around health and human services. We can move to the next slide as well. So kind of the big idea for what we're doing is we have created a social capital soft skills platform that people are able to join into this particular platform as folks opt into it is a space to create community is a space to be empowered around your own personal life and stories so within our target populations folks are encouraged through the platform to connect to one another and in cohort type models but also to develop an understanding of how to tell their story as a piece of empowerment story centers our entire work. So an individual story is their leaping point to employment. So through the platform individuals are exposed to other stories stories like their stories that are different. Learning how to tell their story in a meaningful way and connect that to an empowerment state a state of moving forward a state of being able to advocate for themselves into the workplace. We take a whole approach that an individual's whole story, no matter what came before or what's going on now is part of their empowerment. So we have combined this a program that we've had in the past called GPS or growing personal skills and added that to our friends at whole stories platform and created what we believe is a dynamic space where individuals both connect with one another and most importantly to their own story themselves. As we are doing this what our belief system is is that folks are, of course, obtaining the skills in these tracks. And we'll talk about that in a second for occupation but but also connecting to the mean their own personal meaning quickly, and to one another. And as we, as we see it, as people connect to each other and move forward into work into occupation. You know, 10s or 20s or 30s or hundreds. They're more likely to stay engaged as they'll have built in accountability encouragement. And that again that isolation of being disconnected from job or poverty will be combated. So as we move forward again to the next slide. We are our as folks enter into this platform they're connected to this learning this story, and then also to these occupational tracks. So over a couple week period of time. Empowerment around your own personal story being blended into these occupational tracks. Our hope would be that an individual enters into employment empowered, confident and ready. So what we learned in the last round that we're taking into this round is that it can be messy when we still are prioritizing individual relationships and people, and it can combat the idea of efficiencies, especially in a rapid reskilling process. So how do we do that, we have to rely upon our people and and those in the training track to hold one another to that space. So we will be empowering peers mentors throughout this and be broadly serving the Pacific Northwest region of Washington, Idaho and Montana through this effort. One more thing I would love to say in the next slide if we could, is that our, or maybe disappeared is okay I'll just say it now, no worries. Our customer is not just our job seeker to we believe that for this to really work. So that is our community and the businesses we serve as well. And so one of the uniqueness is that we are trying to add into this is in this platform where people are connecting to one another and to occupational training. They're also connecting to business that is bought in in a meaningful way, providing things like supportive on the job trainings, work experiences and placements so we're encouraged and excited. It's very privileged to be a part of this competition and we think the committee and our honor to be here. Thank you. Hi, this is from my stomach. I still think we have a unique story. Even as part of the express competition. I would like to say that we merged cutting edge technology and you know, bring in digital learning breakthroughs, but honestly as a team, we came together just as the competition was put forth. So we are a team of we started off as a team of volunteers on each of them from different parts of the world connected with a common impact goal. But the unique thing or the advantage we had was 95% of a team were CEOs of large corporations. All of them are YPO members, which means we could look at the unemployment or the displaced worker problem as job creators. And we started from scratch we started from ground zero thinking, how can we solve this problem. How can we bring a multi dimensional approach to it. And that's how the story of isotonic and hire me came into play. One of the important things here is we wanted to redefine the employer and employer relationship. And one thing unique to our curriculum or our training was, we had employers involved from day one, because we are going to train employees for a skill, and employers need to have a say on what curriculum is needed what skills are needed. And they were involved from day one, and the entire ecosystem did not have us just creating a technology platform for candidates. We created a roadmap of how different stakeholders that join the employee training process or part of the employee training process can interact with our platform. So the WDB scan interact with our platform the employers can interact with the platform. So does any other agency that wants to be part of it. And as the candidate takes the journey. It's not just learning for them. They get employer interaction, telling them about the job. They also see other pathways in which they can go forward. And when we look at a hybrid training model. We look at how can we use on make use of existing community college to give practical training sessions to our employees are to our candidates. And essentially, we are looking at how can we redefine learning itself. Next. So the solution. Again, I'd like to stress, we did not have an existing solution that we wanted to size fit for the given problem. Instead, we decided to unlearn everything we know about the situation and start solving problems that we face at hand. So we have argumentated air based immersive learning. And then we have an isotonic engine or an education engine, which helps us cater to different candidates learning styles. Not necessarily every candidate can excel well in the same kind of content that we provide them. So our AI enable system looks for gaps gaps with the candidate and presents the content of the skilling content in a specific manner. That'll be easy for the candidate to absorb and train on. We have procterps candidate for skilling assessment. And the thing is, we have a gamification of entire training system, which means the candidates who train with us are motivated to skill faster. Right. And this in turn also has shown that their memory retention or the skill retention is much higher when they are motivated to do something. The one thing which we are very certain about is not just technology can get all of our candidates to graduate a skilling program. We needed a human based approach. We needed to listen to the individual story of each of the candidates. These stories motivated us to put all in in developing the solution. And at the same time, we had a human based approach to increasing a graduation efficiency. And as I stressed, it's one platform that caters to all stakeholders, not just the candidates, you're looking to solve a problem and essentially see how can this problem. Make or at least put employees or put Americans back to work at a much quicker pace than they are being displaced. So the ideas, how can we have or go into a system and enable it in a much efficient way. Next slide. So I like to talk briefly about our journey so far. So in round two, what we have done is we were training in medical, now the healthcare sector. And initially, we reached over 25,000 candidates about the program we offered and the solution we're trying to provide. Of which 8000 candidates were directly interested in the solution. And all of the candidates had to be assisted in terms of the skill gap or the affinity towards the job role. Of which, we had 500 or 550 candidates accepted into the training program over the course of time. And our training received so much response from employers. So we started training sessions or started giving upskilling sessions for employers within the state as the competition was going. One thing we are very proud of is at least for a engine or a education platform that did not exist before the start of this competition is that we had a 96% graduation rate, of which 78% of them were placed in jobs. And one last thing is the WDP that we worked with was a very, very integral part of what we were able to achieve. And they did value all of the skill we delivered in less than 90 days at $2 million to the state. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Medjula Ibrahim. I'm with the shift of 360 team based out of San Diego, California, and we're reskilling for thriving careers, particularly focusing on the vulnerable communities such as the refugee and immigrant communities here in California. So some of the barriers that the communities we work with, we're experiencing in finding not only employment but career pathways as they've transitioned into a new society. And just something that is applicable to all adult learners is really the lack of flexible training programs. And with our 360 reskilling solution, we were able to provide it at a very flexible and adaptable modality. And people were able to access it, you know, digitally on the learning management system and be able to access it whenever they needed to, as well as being able to work around their own schedules. Additionally, there's a lot of, for most trainings, there's usually a pretty high cost of training and effort and time that has to really be put on but with our training our 360 solution that wasn't the case. There's no cost to the trainee. Additionally, the way that traditional educational systems are set up. There's really not a way to engage and it's not really culturally or linguistically appropriate. But we took the approach of using animations and get gamifications to engage. And we've incorporated virtual reality educational tools into the curriculum. And this is something that made the experience not only effective. But also really enjoyable for the trainees. Additionally, a lot of the times entry level skills don't pay a living wage and I think the goal of the XPRIZE rapid reskilling was really to get people into careers that would provide a livable wage and not only were we able to assist trainees and getting into career paths that provided that but we also connected them to internships that could give them really valuable experience and for them to be able to develop relationships and network so that once they left the training, the training, the four week training they could really go out into the real world and have all the tools that they needed. Additionally, a lot of times, community members who are even adults who are really just trying to get trained into a new skill path or career path. It's really overwhelming and a lot of the times it's hard to know where to start, but through the networks and relationships and partners that we've, we had and fostered and developed. The trainees were really able to seamlessly find their footing and able to have relationships outside of just the training curriculum. So I think that was really valuable to them. And then life challenges I think this is something that's really important and even really goes back to the name of Shippa 360 Shifa in many different languages means healing. But the 360 part is really, that really summarizes our mission and our goal to provide a holistic comprehensive approach to workforce development. And so we were really acutely aware of all the challenges that people were experiencing whether it was socioeconomic transportation, just barriers, a lot of psychological social issues that that was really at the forefront of their lives as and as a priority. And so trying to find ways to make this fit into their existing life and make it as easy as possible for them, as well as providing resources as an organization we worked with communities who had many challenges like this and so connecting them to resources wasn't too far of a stretch for us and we had a lot of relationships of partnerships and resources available for the trainees so that that these barriers really wouldn't get in the way of them becoming successful and getting this experience. Next slide please. So the three pathways that we took was the career pathways was the community health worker initially, and right now we're proposing medical secretary pathway. So more of that medical administration pathway, as well as the motor vehicle operator driver pathway. So with community health workers, I think this is a, all of these are actually low, you know barrier to entry and really high demand positions and jobs that lead to careers for the community and really be like a launchpad for them to explore where they want to go next so with community health workers I think provide a lot of opportunities for them to engage with the social service industry, the nonprofit industry, the healthcare industry and eventually gain even higher positions in management. And then with medical secretary really gravitated towards this because as we, as we formed relationships of partnerships with the healthcare sector, it became pretty clear to us that a lot of these trainees who had amazing and valuable skills whether it was linguistic or just life skills could be could could be a great asset to many of the clinics and hospitals. And so having medical secretaries that were from these communities that were highly trained and trained was was really something that was very clear to us was necessary so creating a curriculum around that was one of the things that we're proposing for this final stretch of the competition and then lastly for the motor vehicle driver. And this industry that's really booming right now and it's something that's really attractive to many of our trainees, and it really does lead to them not only really great positions but eventually even becoming entrepreneurs themselves. And so there's something that we're really excited about launching for this part of the competition. And in terms of the impact, I think we I think having that experience with initially developing the community health worker training, as well as our, or even just our personal experience and organization of utilize and community health workers we've really seen the tremendous impact of community health workers, and what they've been able to contribute, just, you know, something very relevant to all of us with the pandemic. As an organization trying to reach out to vulnerable communities that oftentimes isolated, we utilize and leverage community health workers to do that work so in a typical year previous to the pandemic and having this workforce of community health workers maybe we were able to reach 10 to 20,000 community members but with with the ability to hire and bring on community health workers are highly skilled. You really trusted within their communities had amazing lived experiences. We were able to reach over 200,000 community members so just from our personal experiences and organization and nonprofit organization that's based out in the community. And we saw how valuable and amazing. It was to have community health workers be part of our staff. And so having community health works go through this training was something that was really a priority for us. And it really that experience also helped us strengthen our capacity to develop really effective workforce trainings. And this is really the simple path that we're planning on taking with this, with this, the, this project so recruiting community members who are usually under resourced and getting them into these trainings, having them be reskilled and with these three pathways that have been identified by the community is something really effective and really in demand and then with placement we are hoping to guide them to different internships and experience very experiential internships and opportunities. And I hope that through the relationships that we have with everyone here that's on the, the zoom call. We're really looking for partners that could help us provide a place for the trainees that are coming out of these training curriculums and we really are excited to be part of this competition so thank you. Thank you so much, Monica and Brianne for this opportunity. Yeah, I'm the founder and CEO of Bantry Global and leading the team vital effort on behalf of my company and two other companies. Our team really brings together three companies really focused at the forefront of upskilling and offering opportunities to non traditional learners. My company Bantry Global is based in Boston and has offices in London and Delhi India and is really a venture development firm focused on innovation scale up and growth, and we also are an early stage investor. Kola Berry is a social enterprise with headquarters in Boston. That really focuses on in demand technology and human skills training and a talent marketplace, all in one encompassing platform. Blici is our Swedish partner, which was instrumental in in round two and helping us deploy a VR training element to kind of simulate a clinical environment and they've been super helpful as we've worked through this process in round two into round three. Next slide. So, in round three. We look to add two new roles to really leverage all three of our company skills in round two we focused on medical sterilization tech. And this round will be adding sales representatives for the services sector and supervisors of food preparation server serving workers. And we really focus on these two roles, because we thought this was a huge area of hiring demand in the United States and and something we really wanted to focus on to test and deploy our systems and our technology. And at the at the core of what we do, we really focus on taking the hard scale training and actually using it to empower the learners through soft skills. And we do that through our job readiness boot camp, which is a critical element through video feedback learning of our of our platform. And it really serves three constituents the students educators teachers who are delivering learning experiences and then really a talent marketplace for employers but also an opportunity for employers to get to know the learners through actually seeing some of their videos and how they communicate some of the content they've learned. Next slide. Perfect. I think it's a deep dive because we think this is kind of our, our secret sauce but also an element that really I think has over the years really informed us and we've been working on further developing and proving it on a constant, you know, weekly monthly basis which is really our job readiness boot camp which is the soft skills portion portion of our training. So irrespective of the content that we're focusing on we can tailor may our job readiness boot camp to really focus on that. So it really goes all the way from a virtual apprenticeship to interview preparation to learning the different skills that will make the learner successful on day one and confident on day one, and really give them that career transition. So when they start their job, they are ready. They understand what is really going to be required of them as they as they transition into this new phase in their, in their life. And kind of just to take a step back and kind of walk you through the platform. You know as we mentioned it really serves all three constituents, we have a dashboard that is centered to each of those different constituents, and it's a customizable platform from a course content perspective. It can be linked into external content providers with zoom integration, but it also has a community. And it's really a social platform. It brings together a community of your peers of your other learners, specifically within your specific content or field of training, but also a broader network of peers of mentors that can really be there to answer and give feedback. Look at your videos that you're producing and give feedback, and also kind of give you experience about where they found success. In addition, it has this video feedback system. And I think we can go to the next slide. Perfect thank you. So the video feedback system and this is this is a student named Cajove, who was a returning veteran, trying to readjust and find a path as they transition back to, you know, normal traditional life at home, and went from really being a TV technician to a quantitative analyst after six months of training, and saw about a three x salary increase. And our video feedback system and we'll show you a short video at the end but as you can see it really shows how you start with automated interviews and presentations and how you use your hand gestures how you use your tone of speech, how you use specific words. So some of what our system does is it, it really has AI driven automatic parameters, gesture movement tracking. It tracks the tone of your voice, the speed of your speech your hand I movements your head positioning. Are you looking directly forward. There's no human intervention required in our system. So transcribes voice to text, your interviews, so you can then go back as a learner, look at what you said and work on improving how you communicate and what you say and what are the words you use. And the system really searches for filler words if you're using too many filler words. It has a word cloud system that, as I said tracks over usage of terms words, but also looks, are you not using specific technical terms that are relevant to your work that would be really helpful. And it allows for unlimited video recording for the students as they go through a week by week video process in this feedback system, they can keep each week they can do 10 videos if they want and keep improving and keep practicing. We have found that this system has been a difference maker over the years and as we've been slowly and slowly and slowly improving it and making it more automated. We found that this really empowers the learners to be successful in the interview process, but even more so be successful on day one of their job they feel confident. They feel confident that they have the knowledge but they also more importantly have the ability to take that knowledge, synthesize it and communicate it, and, and really be confident that they can share their voice. And I think we've been able to find that a lot of our learners have been able to fast track to more senior positions, because I think this confidence that they've gotten through this program really transforms how they start on day one and what that means for their future growth in the organization. You know the next slide. Thank you so much. So this is a video of that video and AI driven parameter system and how it works. Go ahead. Sorry. Hi, my name is Eddie, I'm here to explain the difference between. Hi, my name is Eddie, I'll be explaining to this software development lab cycle. Hi, my name is Eddie. So today, I'll be discussing about some. Hello, my name is Eddie. So today, I'll be discussing about how. Thank you. And that's kind of just a small clip of kind of how the system can work and works. And we've really been able to experiment a lot and improve it as we learn different facets that we can automate. And for us really, we're super excited as we go into round three. And we really are excited on how we can deploy this at scale with 5000 plus learners, and really leverage the soft scales job readiness group camp, especially in the sales and services field the restaurant hospitality field, and the medical sterilization to really give them that those elements of communication skills, managerial skills, customer service, and really empower them from day one so that so that so we are team vital and we thank you for your time and for listening and we look forward to engaging with all of you. Thank you, Sanjee. We really appreciate all of you guys taking the time to get on to tell us and world about what you're doing and the great work that's coming out of your learning management systems and apps. We're really proud of you to see where you started in 2020 with applying and where you are now as a finalist in enterprise rapid rescaling. We're excited to see you joining the high ranks of teams will come before you have done really great work in the competition and outside of the competition with the solutions that are developed for the competition but also outside of the competition and looking at how we can leverage the x price ecosystem to help you guys scale help you grow and help you change the world so thank you so much for taking the time today. Thank you, Dr. Johnson, Sanjeev, you have near Milesh, Nate, and we all have to have Nigel I thank you so much for taking the time to come today. And with that we finished a little bit early actually which I'm like you guys are with it, you're rapid in rapid rescaling. So we do want to allow a little time for a break. So we will have some time where you can guys can get something to drink something to eat, 10 to the kid or the dog, we know we're all kind of in a hybrid work from home situation. Sometimes the little bit of time that you have is very valuable to continue to move things forward. So with that, we're going to take a break we will be back at 20 after the hour. So if that's in California that's at 1220. Now in standard time 120, you know, so and so forth I'm not going to go that much into detail and just being silly, but we thank you guys so much for coming. Please stay plugged in stay on go get something to drink go get a bite and please do come back because we do want to talk a little bit more we have a great keynote speaker from Dr. Peter Blair coming up in a little bit as well. And we just want to make sure that we're plugging a great opportunity you have to see the teams again. So coming up next month, we will all be at the CoA conference that is in Seattle is the coalition on adult basic education. And so we're really excited to have you guys come, we'll have a panel will be talking more about the great work that the teams are doing at once again ways that you guys can all plug in. So please do please come back at 1020 Pacific standard time, 20 after the hour wherever you guys are. So thank you so much, and we'll see you in a little bit. Hello everyone we're excited to have you guys back from break. Hopefully you had a good time you stretched your legs you got a sandwich had some water walk the dog. So many things you could have done during that break, but make sure that we're giving time. We fully know everyone's in a hybrid work environment and there's many things happening at home or at your office so wanting to take the time so you can reset and be ready for our keynote and we're so excited to have a great keynote for you guys here today. So moving on, we have Dr. Peter Blair here today, and I'll give you a little bit of information about before we get started so Dr. Blair is on faculty in the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University, where he co directs the project on workforce. He serves as faculty research fellow of the National Bureau of Economic Research and the principal investigator at the be lab. It's a research group with partners from Harvard, Clemson and University of Illinois, His group's research focus on the link between the future of work and the future of education, labor market discrimination, occupational licensing and residential segregation. Dr. Blair received his PhD and applied economics from the warden school at the University of Pennsylvania, and his master's in science theoretical physics from Harvard University and his BS in science in psych, well that's not psychics, physics and mathematics from Duke University. So everyone without further ado, Dr. Peter Blair. Monica, thank you so much for this incredibly warm welcome and I want to say thank you to everybody on the X prize team, organizing committee, Brianne and I have had the opportunity to interact a lot. And for those of you who are joining us I'm super excited to chat with you because I've read about the amazing companies that you've started and I feel very privileged to get to witness the future of reskilling a labor market right in front of my eyes. Because we're in a virtual environment and because I'm a teacher in an ed school I like to be interactive, because I want you to write what's your second most favorite thing that has happened today during the proceedings of the X prize. So just pop that in the chat what's been your second most favorite thing that's happened today. So let's see who's going to be the first person to pop something in the chat and don't be shy. The music. Yes, I have been feeling the music other folks like what's what's been. What have you been taking away so far. I have an eye on this to hearing the power of story for job candidates yeah that's important. Monica's color coordination yes, it's on point. I think it's so important that when we're in this hybrid world that we find ways to to leverage the multimodality of it if we were in a standard meeting, and you are having this type of conversation it would actually be distracting, but the fact that we have this. The chat is zoom technology we can see people we can have side conversations I like to lean into that and I'm going to try to make this presentation today. Very interactive so I'm super excited to be here to chat with you about some work that I've done with some of my colleagues and how do we think about reskilling within the context of the US market. The insights here however we think can expand to a lot of other contexts and in fact, some of the work that we've been has started to inform the way that scientists in Kenya are thinking about who's qualified to do stem related fields. And so for those of you who are tuning into other tuning into this this call from other contexts I want you to know that the ideas that I'm going to put forth today are not just relevant in the US but we think about them as having global import in terms of how we think about redeveloping the skills that workers have. So let me kick off, I'm going to share slides with you in just a moment. So today I want to talk to you about skills, degrees and labor market inequality. And this is going to be based on a lot of work that I've done with some colleagues that opportunity at work popular de Broglie, just in fact, I'm buying a piece and the entire team of labor market work, which is a nonprofit in DC, that is focused on the scaling. I'm just to tell you like a little bit about my own work. So I think a lot about imperfections in the markets education, and the way in which they impact labor markets, and what are some of the ways in which we can propose alternative labor market signals that can remedy some of the gaps that we face within our educational and labor markets. This is a picture of the PhD students in my research group. And I like to highlight them because all of you here on this call are part of a team, and you recognize that you're only as strong as your team is. The motivation for a lot of our work is that most of the job postings in the United States today require bachelor's degrees closer to 60% of these job postings. When we look at who has bachelor degrees, only 40% of Americans have bachelor's degrees. And so there's this huge mismatch in terms of what are the skills, or at least, what are the credentials that the labor market is requiring of job seekers, and what are the actual credentials that job seekers have. And oftentimes this is this is this is referred to as the skills gap. But what we're going to do is we're going to try to turn that notion on its head. And we're going to we're going to try to understand how do we solve for this gap. It's impossible just to create a bunch of bachelor's degrees in order in order to satisfy the demand for quote unquote skilled or degree labor, right, you would need to increase the capacity colleges by a factor of about two. That is not going to happen overnight. And even if it were to happen, it would not be cheap. So what we're going to propose is how can you identify workers from the population of people who have high school diplomas who are skilled through alternative routes, alternative relative to degrees. We're going to call them stars, skilled to alternative rights I want you to pop in the chat stars just type that in I want you to remember that acronym. And this is important because the way in which we talk about workers is going to frame who we think is capable of doing what kind of work, and who we want to invest in as companies but also who do you want to invest in as a society. So the goal of identifying these stars who are workers with high school diplomas who don't have college degrees is to try to understand the skills that they have based on their current work and to see whether those skills are sufficient to have them transition to higher wage work. One key component of this approach is that the population of workers who were stars are going to represent predominantly workers of color and women. And there's also an equity lens to this reframing of how we think about the skills that workers have in the context of a labor market. I like to start off by thinking about stories I know that in in the chat we saw, we saw a comment about how stories are incredibly important, and I want to reference that by pressing into this story by a woman in Joanne who's a who's an office administrator. She said in an interview that we have with her. I worked at a community college for two decades. I was among the first to be laid off when COVID hit, even though I had more experience and skills than many of my colleagues. My previous supervisor once told me that had I gone to college, I would be running this community college. I want us to sit for a moment with Joanne story. How do you know like Joanne, who have the skills there in a job where they're doing the work, but they're not being promoted because they don't have a degree, not because they don't have the skills where they don't have the ability to do a higher wage work, but precisely because they don't have that college degree. And this is what we're going to be focusing on. In this figure here, you see over time, the percentage of job postings in the United States that requires a bachelor's degree, versus the fraction of workers who are currently in those jobs who have a bachelor's degree or higher. And so what you can see is that many of the job postings that are requiring a bachelor's degree are requiring it for jobs where the people currently hold those jobs don't have bachelor's degrees. It's not that these jobs themselves need someone with a bachelor's degree to do the job because the person doing it now doesn't have a bachelor's degree. And we call this degree inflation. And so this is something that is contributing to the perception that there's a skills gap when in fact what there is in the labor market is an opportunity gap in terms of recognizing that college degrees aren't needed to do, aren't needed to do every type of work within the labor market. This degree inflation translates into a wage gap by educational status. If you look over time in the past four decades, the wages of workers who have high school diplomas but not college degrees who we're calling stars have remained relatively stagnant at around about 19 to $20 per hour. In terms of the bachelor's drafts the wages of workers with bachelor's degrees has increased tremendously with this time period. And so they're very real material consequences to being locked out of jobs where you've access to higher wage work. It's income inequality. And that's one of the reasons why we want to focus in on on stars. There's another reason why this population of workers are important when we start to think about how do we reskill within our labor ecosystem. We have the 161 million folks who are in the workforce, close to 71 million, 71 million of those are stars. They complete a college, but they don't have a college degree. And we want to focus in on what does it look like to provide opportunities for upward mobility for this population of workers, precisely because they can help us to solve some of the skills gaps that we experience in the labor market. The proposal that we do in our work is very simple. It's predicated on the idea that workers will learn by doing, and that they in turn possess the skills that are associated with their jobs. And that transitions are possible between jobs with very related skills. Let me give you an example from my own experience. I'm a college professor. The very first time that I taught a class was when I became a college professor. So I learned on the job. I was given the opportunity to learn on the job because I had a PhD. And in many contexts, a college degree functions as a door opener to give you the opportunity in order to learn. If you look at somebody who was a lawyer, for example, many times when they graduated law school, they don't yet know how to file a brief. They don't know how to argue a case in front of court, but they're given that job and on the job they learn all of the skills that they need to from people who have that experience. And so our labor market already functions as a place where people both earn and learn at the same time. The question is how do we allow for folks who are stars to both earn and learn in the same way that people with bachelor's degrees and higher can do that on the market. What we've done here is to zoom in on two jobs. So the first is a retail salesperson, which is a low wage job. The second is a customer service representative, which is a medium wage job. And we focused in on the nine top skills that are needed for those jobs as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And for example, persuasion is something that both a retail salesperson need and a customer service representative active listening speaking service orientation. What you notice here is that the top skills that are needed for a retail salesperson's job, which is a low wage job are very similar in terms of the ordering but also the intensity of the importance of that skill as manifested in the customer service representative job. And so our proposal is that workers are learning these skills on the job that they currently have. If we can see them as being skilled through these alternative routes, namely their work experience, then we would say, if I'm looking for somebody to be a customer service representative, I can look in the population of workers who have a retail sales person as their job experience, even if that person doesn't have a college degree. And so this is a really important thing to to meditate on is like, how do we look beyond whether somebody clears the credential hurdle and then look at the actual skills that we have, which we can infer from their prior role and the skill content of that prior role. This is what we do in our work. I want to share with you the story of a star Lashana Lewis, who is emblematic of what can happen when we, when we look at somebody based on their skills and not their degrees. It's time that we change the way that we define talent. Lashana Lewis, I am CEO of Elton Lewis Consulting. I don't have a college degree, but I'm a computer geek. Lashana grew up in East St. Louis. She had a passion for computers, but she wasn't able to get a college degree. And because she didn't have a college degree, she couldn't even get an interview for a tech job. Despite her coding skills, so she was working as a bus driver. I've been working on computers since I can remember, but I always found myself in low wage jobs. And then I always got pulled into doing jobs and duties that are mid to high salary range. So I was able to find a program called Launch Code to help me. And from that, I ended up getting a full-time position at MasterCard working as an engineer there. After MasterCard, I did start my own business, but at the same time, I got offered a position as a CTO of a startup and director of aerospace IT at a different startup. Not everyone has a four-year degree or can't afford a four-year degree, but everyone should have an opportunity. So maybe we need to look past the pedigree and look more at the skill base. And that's what the STARS movement drives home. STARS are skilled through alternative routes. There are millions of STARS like me just waiting to work and all they need is an opportunity. Let someone take the first step in changing your company or your organization into something that's more aligned to where the future is going to be. My name is Lashana Lewis and I'm a STARS. Value potential over pedigree and join the STARS movement. I want you to pause for a second and contemplate Lashana's story. And if you know a Lashana in your life, someone who is a STARS, I want you to type in the chat, I know a STARS, to simplify what we do. So in the context of, so you understand that the basic idea, which is that people learn on the job and they learn the skills that are required for that job. And you can measure the content of a person's skill based on what's the skill content of the job that they currently are working at. However, there could be adjacent jobs that can provide higher wages that have very similar skill content. And what we do in our research work is to develop an algorithm that allows us to look at the skill contents of a worker's current job. And then identify what are some adjacent jobs that pay higher wages but that have very similar skill contents. And by doing that we can recognize what are the opportunities for upward mobility for STARS within the legal market. There are some technical details in terms of how we go about developing the algorithm, which are described in this bullet point here, but that's not important for understanding conceptually what it is that we do. At the end of the day, what we can get from this procedure is an inventory of the number of STARS based on wages in their origin job. So we can look at workers who are STARS and we can see are they starting off in jobs that are low wage jobs, middle wage jobs or high wage jobs. And then based on the skill content that they have, given where they're currently working, we can see are there medium wage jobs or high wage jobs that they can move to that are not too far removed from their current skill content. And this is going to power a lot of our analysis in terms of describing what is the state of STARS in the legal market. We've come up with a taxonomy that allows us to think about STARS of three different categories. The first are shining STARS. So these are STARS who are already working in high wage jobs where they're in the top one third of the income distribution. Remember, there's 71 million STARS. Of that 71 million, only 5 million are shining STARS in the sense that they're already working in high wage jobs. When we look at the population of rising STARS, these are STARS who are starting off in low wage work, but they have the potential based on their skill content to move into either medium wage work or high wage work. About 30 million of STARS are reflected by rising STARS. And this is where there's a lot of opportunity to identify who these rising STARS are. Maybe your company is developing a proprietary algorithm that can allow folks to look beyond someone's degree and then identify their skills to match them to jobs where they can earn higher wages and even get opportunities and access to more skill development. And then the balance of STARS are forming STARS who don't yet have the skills. And there's also space in the ecosystem to say how can we provide these forming STARS with the relevant skills that they need in order to move to higher wage work. When we break this down demographically, we can see that women who are STARS tend to be focused, tend to be overrepresented in low wage work as opposed to high wage occupations. We see the same thing for STARS of color. STARS of color tend to be concentrated in low wage occupations, low wage origin occupations as opposed to high wage occupations. And so when we begin to reconceptualize who is skilled and how we measure skills, there are profound equity implications along with racial lines and gender lines. By seeing STARS, we are going to be seeing the skills of women and people of color in an even clearer way. In addition to the research component of the work that we've done, it's very important to think about how do you engage the ecosystem. We need to start with fundamental insights about the nomenclature of how we talk about workers without college degrees. That in turn is going to inform the extent to which we see them as either having the skills or having opportunities to be reskilled. And then once we reconceptualize the way that we're thinking about talent within the ecosystem, then we can start to move to say, what are some ways in which policymakers and businesses can begin to respond to this new understanding of who is skilled in order to provide a more equitable access to job opportunities within the market. During the summer of 2020, we all witnessed the very brutal and heinous murder of George Floyd and there were ways in which that ignited this country, our country to think very deeply about issues around racial justice. One thing that my colleague shot on that and I did was to think about what are some ways in which companies that are committed to racial equity can do something to promote better access for for minority workers. And what we pushed companies to do in the soft bed in the Wall Street Journal is to say that you can go beyond just giving money to to the black community that you can actually change the way that you hire and train talent by hiring based on skills and not degrees. And that would allow you to get access to the population of stars who have the skills to do highly work within your within your job within your company. We've seen this work and the work of many others in the ecosystem impact public policy, where the federal government passed an executive order in 2020 to emphasize the hiring based on skills and not degrees. We saw very recently about a week ago in the state of the union address where President Biden talked about the increasing importance to have workers we turn through entrepreneur through through apprenticeships and through alternative routes, and for companies and the federal government's hire based on skills and not degrees and so there's increasing momentum in the pages of our leading newspapers among policymakers in terms of what they're doing, and even among Fortune 500 companies. And recently the one 10 initiative brought together a coalition of 37 Fortune 500 companies to say we're going to hire based on skills and not degrees, and in particularly use that as a way to drive racial equity by finding talent where in the past we previously did not see talent, which is in the population of stars who have been disproportionately women and people of color. And I want to end by leaving you with a charge as I've read over the amazing companies that you founded the amazing teams that you've assembled, you are committed to reshaping the way that we think about scaling the existing workforce and reskilling the existing workforce and shaping the work and the skilled ecosystem of the future, all five of the companies that are represented on this call. And I want to challenge you as you think about your work to think about the ways in which the companies that you develop the algorithms that you pioneer, how they can pay a specific attention to the opportunity that you have to recognize the skills of workers who are in the workforce, stars with skills to alternative routes they don't yet have a college degree, but they have skills based on their current work, and through that the opportunities to move to higher wage work. I want to say huge thank you for this amazing opportunity to share with you today, and I'm excited to see the rest of today's work. So thank you so much for having me here. Thank you. Thank you so much. Dr. Blair for making the time we really appreciate it. And hopefully our teams found some great value in that, and just knowing that you guys are on the right track to making a lot of people's lives better and really tapping into stars and putting stars in the pathway they need to really, you know, have the future that they want the career they want and make the best life possible for themselves and their families. So we move from that gap being filled with love and opportunity. Exactly. Thank you. And that looks like we are just about done for the day. We're really excited that we got the opportunity to come together to talk to fellowship to joke about my coordination of glasses and shirt. That's always a good time. And we're really, really happy to see what our finalist teams will go on and do. So thank you to Dr. Peter Blair. Thank you to Dr. Lewis Johnson. Thank you to Nick Mazzucca. Thank you to Dr. Nimalesh Kumar. Thank you to Najla Ibrahim. Thank you to Sanjiv Yadav. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time today to come and tell us more about you. We learned a lot even during the finalist team presentations. And I want to thank the people behind the scenes, David and Elizabeth and Bree, they're behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz making everything run smoothly, even with the smooth jazz Philly sounds you've been hearing on our breaks. We appreciate the attention to detail thinking about the music and how to set the mood for this great event and really, really appreciate it. And we just want to make sure that we remind everyone that we will be at the CoA conference April 13. So if you're in CoA in Seattle, please do stop by our panel. We'd love to have you going to have our finalist teams speaking to you more about their work, their solutions and ways that you can work with them.

Welcome to the independent investor channel My name is Ryan that funny feeling you have that's creeping up your spine the electric feeling That's empowerment. All right, and if you listen intently I can give it to you All right, I'm a very very motivated fellow and I typically do not miss my Fridays For the sheer intent and mission of empowering one investor at a time I wouldn't do this project if I thought everybody and their mother understood investing Okay, it was like putting on your seat belt people invest and the S&P passively they have a little nest egg when they retire Right, everybody's good. No need for the independent investor channel We can all just trust the mass media to Shepherd us through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil for therefore They will entrust your retirement to the land of riches. All you have to do is listen to them I do apologize for missing last week. I don't like to miss. I don't here's the thing. I was on the 24th floor of a building not to be named on 59th Street in Midtown Manhattan overlooking Central Park so there's not a whole lot that I'll miss my project for but I Did share some post of Facebook guys and I'm really easy got to find I would invite you guys just as a give back to you guys It'll cost you absolutely nothing man. Shoot me a friend request man. I share that stuff through Facebook It's a cool way to connect with people. I know there's a lot of people who are like, hi I don't do it a blah blah Me I have family spread out all over this this this earth Both in Europe and here on the west coast the left coast and here in the in the east northeast where I'm at here Dominsiled broadcasting from New York City. What a great time we live in where we can actually broadcast from my epic broadcast studio like Wayne's World from New York and Provide some outreach to people very cool stuff But sent me send me a friend request man If you've never done that before or you don't think that that's Something that you ever thought of doing please shoot it over to me You can actually see those photos so you can actually kind of understand And forgive me for missing last Friday But it was a lot of fun. I visited NBA headquarters last week Got to see three doors down. That was kind of cool The lead singer for three doors down actually but he flicked me his guitar pick which was really really cool It hit the ground and I was like no, no, that's mine. I actually play leave me alone There was a bunch of kids like oh what a great souvenir and I'm like no No, I'll actually use it like I play all right and he looked at me and he was like yeah Yeah, you have a level. Yeah, here's a pic for you So it's pretty cool, but it was a very very busy week So I do apologize for missing but what a what a what a week makes here and speaking of family shot out all over the world for sure but Family out in Oregon for sure if you are watching and catching up live certainly worse worth to give a shot out here This week was a month monumental week for me. I'm actually quite frankly. I'm I'm I'm over Overwhelmed right now. I really am I'm overwhelmed. I'm humbled Took that big promotion that I had been sharing with you guys I came to New York for that very reason It's a very impactful here being in New York Being in such a large Mecca of the United States the city is very very powerful. It gets a very very bad rap And and for some of it, it's good. There's good reason why it does but there's an essence to the city that I absolutely love and It is demonstrated in no short order when I walk the streets of Manhattan In my service uniform and and get the accolades that I do pretty cool stuff It's very very special This is the heart of the independent investor channel So it's kind of a double whammy for me life is good. Hope all is well with you guys. Absolutely, but Market news is incredible today on CNBC. We caught the news Explaining to people how we might not be in for a recession. Okay that now we might just Buck the trend of an inverted yield curve and end up not having a recession at all and Therefore everything that's been told to you the last six months. You can just go ahead and deep six that stuff Because they didn't really mean it. They were just looking to generate hype and and hype. They did generate I really think they should come on and apologize for Jumping on this hype train the way that they that everybody has and then they blame it on the bears I know CNBC acts like they're somewhat neutral in this whole thing They are not they are not they're the puppeteers man above who bring on all the bears You know when markets down five six hundred points every single day and you know The sky is falling and we've got to sell that stuff to people people love that stuff people tune into it They're like whoa, whoa, whoa Maybe I need to react and sell all my portfolio and wait for a better day in the in the market Think the quicker you can come to a point in your life where you give all that up The whole kit and caboodle when loser draw you give up the whole thing Stop being influenced by people who do not know you. All right. I do not know you in all fairness The social media opportunity for me is just that to connect with people good people like-minded people who Truly understand that my mission for myself is shared through social media but to Really help people understand the power of trying to write their own script and Identify what is going to work for them and to start on a program that makes sense for them to understand that going through life sometimes may involve some level of risk and if you do live life and you're afraid of taking risk and I would go so far as to say that a lot of people take risk and they don't even think that they're taking risk in other words They aspire to things that society would have them pursue In a way of success Okay, who has the most gleaming white picket fence out in front of their driveway How many cars can we stack in the driveway compared to your neighbor? It's super important. It's super super important And when you crack those Miller lights over the fence post right and you're pulling a home improvement discussion, right? And you're comparing You know the the gleaming wax job that you just put on the new vehicles. It's all about show All right, I Would like to believe that we could not necessarily that we do But we could live in a world where people are judged on who they are Not necessarily buy into this idea that they're judged on what they have and I see this first hand all the time You think I'm off base? I am not you think that people do not need to be taught about The psychology of money and personal finance let me know if you have a problem with the The the the assessment that I have that most people are completely Completely bananas when it comes to their money completely bananas and I have in certain cases people who scrutinized my program That's fine. The thing about it is am I an investor? Yes Have I defined the level of risk that I want to take on well holistically? That's where I take the scrutiny. However, if you look on an individual basis, I've got about 20 accounts Okay, 20 What have I demonstrated and shared with a grander audience most every week minus last week most every week? When we went into this looming recession period over the last six months, you could Presume that over the last six months It would have been the very most difficult time for new investors to look at this market and say Ryan I'm confused everybody saying I'm gonna lose all my money and it's gonna vaporize and it's gonna end up I'm gone and I'll never never be able to get it again. I would rather just secretively Lose my money and buy a seventy five thousand dollar Silverado Right, right. At least I can see that right I can see it deteriorate in my driveway every single month, right? At least I can touch that I can't touch stock Ryan. I don't understand what this is all about okay, I Think it would be just as hard-pressed to take the 482,223 dollars and just stack it up in front of me so people could be like wow, it is kind of real It's not just a number right Ryan kind of knows how to build wealth And and I've premised that by suggesting this nobody gets involved with stock market investing Without incurring some level of risk now the question that you have to decide for yourself And it's a very very simple guys. I don't need to patronize people but people can People can resonate with this idea and the idea is this The amount of risk is something that you can control you are the governor Okay, for all you engine people out there. All right all my Detroit diesel fans. Okay You are the governor over how much risk you throttle up or How much risk you're able to take on in the low-end all right For the most part when I talk about empowering an investor Most people will lose their marbles and they've got excitement coming out their ears because they're like dang I just caught that independent investor channel and he motivated me. I'm gonna change my life He just said that he's got 482 dollars in the bank and that's like a hundred dollars more than I have It's incredible Incredible. I want to do that too. I want to save money. I want to be an investor Fantastic now we're Stepping you from the dark into the light Once you step into the light you're like an egg You're like an egg that needs to be protected Mostly you need to protect yourself from yourself Did I just say that yes, I did you need to protect yourself from yourself The influences of others don't typically lend itself very helpful because you have to remember the sub agenda That exists right now in a media that has media at all times right in front of your face Okay, so There is some level of discipline There is some level of filtering that needs to happen quite frankly there has to be some level of timing discipline especially for the kids Most of my audience is in their 35 45 year range some in their late 20s, etc My message applies whether or not you're 18 years old or up to a hundred It doesn't matter the problem is the 18 year olds that would come to my channel They already have it all figured out and they want to school me up on what it is that I don't know about turning scratch into something Very very material with regard to my goal and financial security down the line Okay, the steps that I have deployed they work. Okay. I don't buy into a lot of garbage I don't go wishy-washy back and forth sell in and out of the market What I have told people is that I have continued to contribute over this time and dare I suggest for those who are tuning in to me tonight I do have the sheer opportunity and green light to come on to a YouTube audience with 37 patrons right now They're enjoying this and I should come on and I should say See I told you so I'm right. I'm right and everybody else is wrong I was right when I said continued to dollar cost average the markets when we were staring down in the steps of a Recession talk and it was inevitable that the interest rates were going to drive the economy into the ground And it was my job now to come on and say see I told you I was the one guy that was talking about that I was talking about Funding markets when it was the most difficult to fund markets. Does that sound familiar? Right? He might say gosh Ryan you could probably do that. You want to know why because I could I could For those of you guys who watch me The more disconnect that I can Define for you The more parameter on one end and the other that I can define for you as far as Where the mainstream is and where your application is The better off you'll be in understanding where you should be in comparison to the mainstream. All right By the markets when everybody else is saying you're crazy. I had people directly tell me Ryan You're crazy. This is not a time to invest. This is a time to buy bonds You remember that discussion? Guys that wasn't five years ago. That was just a few months ago You should transition to a 60 40 portfolio. There are books written on this in that if if Your age and your tolerance is indicative of a plan that would Benefit from wealth preservation Right the introduction of some capital if any to the bond portfolio Then that could be prudent for an individual But they were talking like the 60 40 portfolio or the 50 50 portfolio was king in other words a young person Or a person in their 20s and 30s and 40s 50s and even 60s Should have at least 50% of their money and bonds that conversation was happening just about a month to two months ago Oh Ryan you're such a crazy fella by pointing out such things. They didn't mean what they said Mmm-hmm, I don't care. I'm a martyr. Tell me you don't even want to trust me. No problem You do not know me. Okay, trust yourself All right, go back to the clips the irony and the whole thing is that everything is documentable nowadays Mm-hmm. Go back Go back and look at some I just saw Matt money pop in that money was one of the few guys that was out there beating the drum on Continuing to invest and invest through volatile markets Mm-hmm, and there was a situation of about a year year and a half ago I guess Matt why talk to Matt. He's like Ryan man I'm like I look at my portfolio and it's like down as much as I can buy a house for and I was like Yeah, man, so you're like you're young and to see that you're looking at it from the wrong lens and perspective Yes, that could be true, but it's an unfair comparison to do that to yourself It's an unfair comparison for you to look at yourself in that situation and say I could have done this or I could have done that no problem Remember to do that this and that that you would have had to have given up on the opportunity that investing Has it has provided for you, right? Palantir's worked out just fine. Has it not right? investing has cycles and when it is in a cycle of negativity This is when we lose a lot of people and I will go to my grave I will go to my grave with this project still preaching along the same lines and nary a person will find my message The very few y'all are lucky. I just invited you to send me a friend request The right the Ryan that you find out on Facebook is the exact same Ryan that comes on to social media and gives you the good And dare I suggest Dare I suggest that with my small community? We are right a lot of the times We are right a lot of the times because if we're going to be wrong We're not going to be wrong at the hands of somebody who is trying to drive a narrative And if you just sit back and you think about that for two seconds guys It can be really really attractive to people out there that are like, uh, you know Ryan's got a pretty ballsy coming on and teaching people about you know, financial discipline, you know I know everything there is to know about financial discipline but I like this I like this idea About taking control of your own money and actually I don't know pulling out a little bit of brain power on your own and thinking on your own Amazing. Um, I'm a kid in a candy store. I'm sitting here in my youtube chair Deliver in my live stream to my favorite people. This is one of my favorite things to do It's one of my favorite topics. It truly is guys it we really do have The chance to make a huge difference for people and it doesn't have to be It doesn't have to be what you think it has to be What I mean by that is you guys think that I'm going to put you on like a 48 stage Like program or something It's just a very sheer decision to say I want to invest or not You want to buy the f in silverado go buy the f in silverado Go mud bog until you're happy until rapture No problem Do not come bitching to me during retirement when that silverado now is in the back 40 with grass growing out the hub caps All right, and and you're like god dang I don't know that silverado sure as hell doesn't have the same luster as it did back in 2023 I'll be damn. I tell you what I paid a pretty penny for that sucker in that investment Really didn't didn't work out too much right now. It's like I probably get 750 dollars for it I beg Inflation 20 years from now a silverado will be like 225 thousand dollars, you know The same mistake the same habitual mistakes will be playing out over and over and over and over and over again because people cannot resonate with the idea of buying stock in a company rather buying the clean leather in the silverado and the shiny hub caps And the beautiful granite in that in that new home that they're paying a premium for All the while that granite probably cost 1250 dollars and you just paid a premium of 4500 But that's all right because I can touch the granite. I can touch the granite I can I can wake up at midnight and I can walk out into my driveway in my bathrobe And I can actually touch my silverado hub caps And I can touch it ryan I can open the door and it will ding at me the ding ding ding and I can I can rub the leather and I can Be like see ryan. I told you you you tell people to buy Stock in companies or buy passive ETFs in the in the stock market, you know Look at this. Look how successful I am remember over the Miller lights, right at the at the fence with the with the neighbors Comparing my silverado. Yeah, you got the 2500. Yeah. Well, I got the 4500 Neuramax with the allison transmission and thereby gotta tell you what I I commute seven and a half minutes down the road here I have a corporate office job. I I never use the truck for what it's actually intended for you want to know what those trucks are intended for farming Farming Yep, I just bursted your bubble bubble be back with you in just a moment I'm really really happy I really am I have life flowing through me I I guess I've had the empowerment gift for a long long time when you have it this long It can be somewhat consuming in that when you start to find some personal success for yourself Guys like myself who are very very giving find it An opportunity to help others and that is that is our intent In all fairness, I joke a little bit about the silverado's because I I think that makes up a lot of the people who grew up in This country who are materialistic And they judge success based on how much Crap you can pile and which crap pile is higher than the next crap pile And who amongst the neighbors has the highest crap pile and we can get together and we can have like We can have like neighborhood crap pile Groupings and the people with the biggest crap piles can get together and they can vote in like officers and stuff And there's a president to the the largest crap pile in the in the neighborhood. It's fantastic And we we glorify it. We do we glorify it all day. Oh my goodness. Did you see Frank? Well, it's like, you know, if you only knew the truth see their Frank and Betty are in debt by up to their years in the tune of three hundred thousand dollars, but that's all right They can show off their golden Crap pile to people and that's what's most important. Yeah, it's funny. I look around my house and I've got More than I would ever need I hate clutter I don't like it at all I don't like it at all There's a few things that perhaps maybe I purchase That are some of my most favorite things. Um, I'm probably due to slam the door here on a Purchase for a new guitar. That makes me happy. You know, that's like therapy for me But um reflection certainly on those things like family those are the most important things You know building for their financial future. See that's the thing is when you start to Start to articulate and revolve around decisions that we make To put that Silverado at the driveway I think people fail all too often to identify the ramifications long term of those decisions The bottom line is we don't need those things. We really don't Um If you're gonna buy a tool like that, which it is to to to put to rigor Then then I may hear you out, but for the most part people can't afford that They can't Boats boats is another thing bring out another thousand boat People i've got to have a boat. It's status symbol. It's fantastic. Who's got the biggest baddest boat on the lake Fantastic good for you. You got an awesome boat. That's awesome. How many times did you use it last year? Well, that's that's irrelevant. Really? Let me ask again. How many times did you use the boat? We used it three times ryan three times nice That's fantastic. How much do you pay alone in just insurance to carry the boat? Yeah, I don't yeah, that's not important Hey, look how good it looks out in the driveway Fair enough fair enough all is fair in love and war This comment struck me This was funny people thought matty was crazy not this not these people and really matt you You shouldn't worry so much about what people state. He knows this too, but I'm gonna take and twist his words a little bit I don't care what people think I don't I don't care people will scrutinize or they'll come and they'll You know, they'll compliment whatever If I didn't do Then I wouldn't have either If I didn't do the project and I didn't put myself out there to put my ideas out there for people to think about things in a different way Thinking about things in different ways is going to be your secret sauce to success Okay So when I read this it resonated with me because I was doing the same thing he was doing I was like right on finally we got our multi-year dip in google and amazon both of them were Over 50 from their highs down And Probably more But tech was just driven down the t uh triple q's is uh doubler. It's doubled But well we're in for a recession, right? I see we're talking about the good stuff The good stuff, you know when we talked about, you know, the naztac probably being oversold and Inflation is going to crush tech and it did For a short term What does it mean now? What did we learn from it? Does it mean that you can judge markets on short term? You can try you can try There's fads that come and go in the market they come and they go And there will be others all you have to do is prepare your mindset to Take on those observations listen to them for entertainment matt's great to see you my brother I I didn't think you were crazy at all. I thought you were probably the most sane person out there Talking about buying those equities. Nobody was talking about buying them. Nobody Stay off tech stay off that now everybody's back on fang again up at fang and a bang bang bang If it's with a bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang watch the mbc The same thing man And people are jumping up and down and that gets you know one month ago They were like, you know, we can't buy amazon. Why would we want to buy amazon? Really? Why would we not buy google for crying out loud like google's not going to have a hand in ai Nvidia for all the invidia owners out there. Congratulations. You made some money For all the google and amazon owners that stack chips. I bought it pre-split. That was the That worst time to buy I didn't care. I own amazon now. I'm good in other words I'm not judging the merits of my investment Over a three to six month time horizon. I can look at it and be like wow right on man I should have shorted the stock I would have made money, you know Um, we buy into the stock at the very worst time. I didn't buy them. I didn't bat an eye It meant more to me to own the business Then it did to second guess owning the business through the stock retraction It meant way more And I think you guys need to look at it that way So I know matt's talking about that and I know he was talking about it. He's not he's not bs He was absolutely talking about hey, maybe this might be a time to dabble or even dabble in the markets Now what I said was I was dollar cost averaging markets I was strategically buying on the down days. Who knows we may end end up going down at some point You know the the statement today was really really good by rick sand toly I believe is one of my favorites. He's actually one of the most Level headed on cmbc is really good. He's really really smart but he talked about the inverted yield curve and the increase in and Um interest rates and the strength of labor market strength and the economy etc etc being this pool that the bears really jumped on and said It's inevitable. We're going into recession Nothing is inevitable with the markets trends do make themselves available for scrutiny But that is not a foregone conclusion conclusion where you've had 10 events previously to Upending event that could be the time where it shifts on you and that does not recognize itself All right, so playing the market and suggesting that somehow okay recession is inevitable It's going to happen on this date And you guys need to just you got some time but go ahead and just sell all your portfolio and just put it into municipal divans That's going to be good for your financial future I'll bet you that there are people out there this eve right now on june 2nd That are regretting That are regretting decisions that were made over the previous six months six months Where I contend the quest uh decisions made in the acute are often Incorrect, so if you did screw it up the good news is you can deploy my philosophy and write a wrong Over the long term anyway, doesn't matter loot learn from your mistakes. Okay Don't enter into 2024 and have the uh, yeah, this is going to be the year of recession and 20 25 Pops up and it's like this is going to be the year of recession and you sell at the beginning of every single year You sell out of the markets and you and then you go back in at a tie Markets for me. I'm I'm uh, I breathe 30 000 into the portfolio and I didn't even I didn't I didn't even see it Yeah, just the grumble of the market Grumble, how can I get some grumble to ryan show me the way ryan? Please. I know nothing about investing That's really simple Really simple. I'll give it to you now give you the secret There's a secret come closer the secret the secret Become an investor Invest in the markets No matter what Do not enter into a financial product that you are not willing to own over the long term Let's just call it owning it inevitably All right If for some strange reason You trip and fall into the s and p 500 All right, and you just happen to subject your dollars to a little bit of a downturn 5% okay Put yourself at ease and realize that over the long term if you end up being a complete loser And lose 5% Over the total amount of your money over a 20 to 30 year investing time horizon Then you are a loser And you will give it to your children Because you are adhering to the one rule that I just told you the golden rule come closer. I'll tell you again Seriously come closer. You think I'm joking Grab your drink. I don't care. It's fine. I know I get it come closer Invest in the market You want to trade the market? Trade the market. I've been very successful trading the market All right, my best year ever as a swing trader. I made over six figures Swing trading the market you emboldened the portfolio. You want to know how much swing trading I've done over the last three years? zero zero The passive investments have stayed true I wake up every single day and look at the markets and I'm like wow It seems like every day I wake up and the markets are down anybody else resonate with that feeling mm-hmm What do I say about? non conducive financial markets It's never as good as it seems that it is and it's never as bad as that it seems that it is right So you can look at markets at any time and deploy that now on the extremes People get all euphoric when the market goes up and they're like, yes, I'm the greatest investor ever man This is incredible. I'm going to go in I'm going to comment on ryan's channel I might be like ryan. I bought the market low june of last year. No, you didn't you didn't you didn't You you really did nobody did Nobody did okay. You were either paying attention to something else Okay, or you had we're paying attention and you succumbed your decision to the whims of others Because you could not make a decision for yourself and buy into Validum markets You could not buy into volatile markets, but ryan. They were volatile You did not buy into volatile markets. Why? Because in my perspective and philosophy about investing you're not putting those dollars to work for validation three to six months later We've got some validation this week last week. Whatever Next week could turn on a dime. We could go back down doesn't matter I will continue to buy the markets continually over the course of my life And when the dust settles I will have deployed a philosophy over the longest amount of time that I could In my life and we will see where the dust settles. Okay there are books after books after books That prove this philosophy true. All right ryan. Give us the top five picks. That's why I don't do it anymore I can't do it. I cannot do it I invest in single stock I do I was buying google and amazon like Matt money is talking about here I own dividend growth stocks in my dividend portfolio I own some speculation. I get the most scrutiny over the speculation. I really do Not one person comes to me, which is not surprising not one person And asks me this question How much of your dollars are passively invested in the market? Nobody asks me that nobody Everybody says I like I like highly on it's a it's a it's a good one But it's too speculative for me or the cash burn is too Whatever and those are all fair assessments But the thing about it is what percentage of my portfolio now makes up that equity? All right, six percent six percent So the 100 percent of the attention goes on six percent of my portfolio I just had somebody reach out to me. They're like man the views on the channel are dropping I was like, yeah, so what doesn't bother me. I don't care I don't care. I know where I'm going. I don't care. Okay. I'm not looking to cattle herd All right. I'm not looking to be your shepherd. All right. I'm not looking to attract sheep Okay, I'm not looking for that I am looking to attract killers. All right those that look at and pierce through Pierce through the confusion To get to the pure state that I am trying to teach upon and that clarity is very very simple once you resonate with the idea of taking on the amount of risk that you're comfortable with Allocating the amount of capital per month that you're comfortable with Um and adhering to that program over the long term those the three recipes to success If you adhere to those three things and don't don't pull one of them and just be like, yeah, Ryan won't know I'll just sneak out of the market and then sneak back in It's okay. I did. It's not gonna guy. Come on, Ryan. It's so bad right now. I I just can't take it I'm gonna sell and wait and then I'll buy back in Will not work Okay You'll get burned and it could still work guys. I have subjected my money to the same mistake I don't come on and I don't profess to be a saint In this application I far from it Nobody is I'm just telling you that there are tried and true fundamentals that if adhered to And there are portions of my portfolio that I absolutely adhere to My tsp is up over 11 percent year to date so far 11 percent I'm looking to increase that percentage now with this newly Uh anointed job title that I just got anointed with uh yesterday. It was a beautiful day, man It was a beautiful day But we'll be beefing it up right now. I do 20 percent. I've done that for many many years I may beef it up to 25 or 30 25 or 30 percent of my pay I think that right there if there's people who watch me they're like man, that's a scary proposition That's a scary proposition not scary to me I'm fine I'm fine. I still have shirts to put on my body to cover my tits I still have shorts enough to cover my legs when I go out in public I have all the money that I need to buy a pair of shoes or treat myself to a new pair running shoes when I need or a pair of jam workout shoes I actually have money to buy food Money to buy food Isn't that great? That's a success. Okay I'm just not one of those guys that puts a whole lot of value on the fact I'm not looking to get over levered I think most americans specifically and if there are patrons of the message that are a mess financially and carry a ton of debt You got the debt has to be controlled. Okay. Don't think that you're going to come to the i2 And you can deploy my message With carrying a ton of debt and losing a ton of money on the left side of zero Okay If you're carrying negative interest rates, then this program is not going to make any sense at all You're not going to outpace The amount that visa is going to charge you at 29.96 percent some ungodly amount And that's visa that's established credit card companies these quick and long places They should have horns coming out the side of them. I mean, they're just about as evil as you could possibly get I should just pull into the parking lot and watch people go in there and just like I I know they think that they're hard over What they need is discipline. They do not need a band-aid at 500 interest They should be illegal There should be Like I said, big horns growing out the side of them. Yeah Yeah, with the big devil face on the front of them with smoke coming out the devil's nose But the devil's smiling Come on in free money and we'll give you $500 on the spot You're you're gonna owe us 1785 dollars in six months It's a great deal And people go in there too man. They pay that overhead brick and mortar boom boom boom little guy like myself independent industrial channel Now he's small potatoes man. He invests in highly on he's a moron. We can't watch him. He's a freaking moron He only has 47 patrons to his message Yeah, if we can't watch that guy, we gotta go to the quick and loan pick go to the quick and loan man $500. Look, honey, I got $500 man. Really? God. You did well at bingo. No, no I went to the quick and loan place man. They they had me sign a document Well, did you read the document? No, I didn't read the document They just said sign at the bottom and here here's the terms of the loan and just sign at the bottom And they gave me five crisp $100 bills. Look at this, honey. Look how crisp these are The absurdity guys you think I'm nuts I this is going on. This is the reality man You all think I'm crazy. I just come on for 60 minutes and blow out the truth That's all I'll go back and decompress it on the couch and watch season four of my ends that I'm into right now That's what I'm going to do. I'm chill. Why come on this stuff irritates me because people think this is the norm That's a socially acceptable whatever is socially acceptable If socially acceptable wasn't to just get into debt over your up to your eyeballs Then the then the vast majority of the country wouldn't be in debt You want to know what my debt to income ratio is? I've said it before You want to know what a healthy debt to income ratio by all the scholars out there that cover financial planning 20 percent 20 percent you're encouraged to carry a healthy debt to income ratio of 20 percent. Are you kidding me? Your goal should be to carry zero debt zero if you can't afford to pay for what you pay for Then don't pay for it Ryan it's really nice man. It's the Silverado. It's the color. I always wanted Ryan. It's my favorite color Ryan We justify funny things in our minds man. It's crazy it's crazy The keeping up with the Joneses is even more funny, right? When you're the scenario that I talk about over the fence and drinking Miller light and your neighbor's drinking some fancy like Porter some stout or some awesome IPA with a little shot of whiskey in the bottom And uh, he's having the time of his life and you're looking at your Miller light like gosh, dang This is just Miller light. You know what I'm saying? And you get to talking to old jack and he's he's pointing out all this cool stuff that he's gotten his backyard And he's talking about all the the newest tractor that he's gotten his garage, you know His newest newest riding lawn mower and you're sitting there and you're just like I got big Okay, all I got's my Miller light. That's all I got I must be a failure in life Because I'm not drinking that whiskey IPA You know and you start to get caught up in this whole like man. I want that too I want that too. I've got to redo my driveway. There's a couple cracks in my driveway I got to redo my driveway because my neighbor doesn't have any cracks in his driveway Dude, it becomes a sickness. Y'all think I'm crazy. I'm the most sane mother effort on social media. Trust me man Because away from this I operate like a terminator. I swear. Do I have command over my finances? Yes, I do people look at it and they're like, man, you do some speculative investing Yes, I do because I'm a baller on the passive side It with all due respect I am eligible to engage in that speculation with all due respect All right, you come to the table with the three decades of experience that I've got and then talk to me There's no problem. All right. This is why I can scale it back and do investing one-on-one on the it live stream every Friday It's he's cake. He's cake easy Be a funder. You have to watch back dude. That'll be a fun one for show Jamie Jamie's at work listening. I hope I'm not putting anybody to sleep. I told Christopher Blaine He's in the group here as well. I told him I was like I try to deliver the goods tonight to not put anybody to sleep But we've got about 15 17 18 or so minutes. Anyway, I've tried to get to some comments here and shout some people out for share I see somebody somewhat new here. I don't know Reach out if you want help deciding on a guitar You're talking about my neighbor. What are you trucks boat camper and an Audi? What you are for trucks boat camper and an Audi Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Good for you. Yeah, you make no mistake about it, man I share my material insights And it's funny like I could live in a camper. I used to live in a boat You know, um, I love Audi's I love Corvettes if I have the means I'm gonna buy one Right, but I will be eligible to engage in that type of activity right now sitting on the the amount of money that I'm Sitting on right now. I'm in a gray period right now. I'm in no man's land. All right I'm I have an amount of money that most people would wish for Really wish for Not willing to put the steps in place to achieve set amount. Okay, but they would wish for that I didn't I wish I could win the lottery and win a half a million dollars No, no, I mean a moron like me can work for it and just achieve it, right? um My my father's got the real guitar. He's got a this that 68 s g gibson and and anymore Um, I would probably opt for a gibson electric guitar and then I would probably invest in a martin Um, uh, acoustic electric guitar. That's what I'm probably looking for Um, but those are significant investments and um, I live in an apartment So I'm gonna continue to be patient. All right, but uh, appreciate you stopping by michael. That's really cool Thank you for you man Matt says talent here to zero. There's a hell of a price prediction. That's awesome Buy puts on it matty buy buy some two two and a half puts on it. Yeah, I get lucky I don't know. Palantir was a doubler. I think from its lows.

I've seen come money come very very difficult to people investing is like Buying into a program that puts a little more of the odds on your favor Does that make sense Okay You want to try to do it another way you want to try to get rich by 20 you want to retire by 25 great I really do challenge those people To define for me what they think retirement is first of all So what you're telling me is that you're going to retire at 25 And if you have a life event at 37 you're going to be absolutely 100 financially stable for the rest of your life to incur those inevitable Right inevitable probable life events You're telling me that since you're going to hang it up at 25 because it's Awesome to say that you do you come on to youtube and you're you know driving your ferrari. It's awesome Those guys they're not even on youtube anymore. It's amazing Ricky Where's ricky now? You know, I don't mean to poke fun, but i'm been squared away Before youtube i'll be squared away after That I can guarantee you all right YouTube does not define me it never will It never has Never I don't expect that your social media presence will define you either Okay Define what it is that yourself take what you want from the channel man There's a lot of value here to be had put it to good work If people come back all the time and you're like, man, ryan, I heard this and that I put it to work It's great right on man.

I will do that. Thank you very much freeman. Thank you. That's really cool I appreciate that it's tough sometimes in the guitar market. There's a lot of You know brand names that go for a significant amount of money like martin and You know gibson and and fenders and those are guitars that i've always Aspired to own but never had the mean stone. I might know how cool they are I own about five or six guitars myself already And I've played them and I love them and they're it's fun. It's a lot of fun Very cool. Let's scroll to the top and welcome some people into the group Christopher Blaine first one in the group tonight Fantastic and phenom one's been with me for now for a couple years. Anyway, always just Appreciate preaching. Yeah, I'm a little abrasive. I know I apologize. I'm sorry But I got to get through to people and I do acknowledge that there is an element of abrasiveness that I Must have to penetrate the masses and that's just that's just how it is I will not karate chop you or skip at it you or or edit the hell out What you get see is what you get But thank you for for you phenom. Thanks for making your way on and becky's in the house. Shout out to becky Happy retirement to you financially secure I dig it very cool stuff Jared's in the house. Jared's been with me a long long time Very cool Yeah, it's kind of cool that we can build a social media presence like this and have such staying power I think that speaks to the Essence of the channel and and the vein of the channel and Maybe how much Credence we're putting through and how much merit we're defining for people. I hope that to be the case again, I don't I don't define my success on this or or anything else By my own assessment of my projects. I don't do that My projects are defined by the very people who consume the content and and and if they think that I'm a poor content creator So be it that's part of the definition if some people think that I'm okay Then that's okay, too. Um, but I don't I don't get to make those assessments um, I'm looking to um, get through to an audience um in a um in a in a in a topic that I'm very aggressive on and I think needs assistance on if I thought that there was More people doing it my way I may exit stage left and I may say, you know what this is Saturated when I started doing youtube there was all of you could count the youtube channels doing personal finance on a on a hand now there's all kinds of them out there and You know for me to go through and watch all 500 and determine which are the top 10 It would take me a lifetime to do and I refuse to do it So um, I just think that there's a few elements of the stock market that don't change No matter how many youtube channels are out there talking about it How many want to cover it? How many are male? How many are female? How many are old? How many are young? How many are charismatic? However, many of them are boring like me, you know However, many of them out there have the ultimate support on the channel to make their lighting perfect and make their sound And and everything perfect right, um There are still fundamental elements of stock market investing that we touch upon that I think perhaps maybe other channels glorify they revolve around but those elements don't change Okay, it's up to you guys to Enjoy those elements understand those elements And put those elements to to good use because you're not going to get all of the answers By any of 500 youtube channels or if you think you found the best out there I mean some of the best youtube channels out there by nature of subscriber counts I think are some of the most damaging and some of the worst. I think they're horrible. Um, I watch them Um, I sit across from the people. They do not seem genuine to me at all They don't They do not seem genuine to me at all and until I get to meet these people in person if ever That will be my assessment through youtube. I'm sure there's people who say the same thing about me Alls fair and love and war no problem The tennis is in the house appreciate you coming in brother very cool stuff Victor's in the house get some shout outs for the last few minutes. Anyway, very cool stuff This has been a lively live stream. I really like it. I would like to double down and invite you guys man find me on facebook And send me that friend request you can you can get on and see what i'm talking about I won't I won't will not discuss it through youtube.

Give me a break Very cool scrolling down here making sure that we're getting everybody oscar is in the house Says yo, where's that picture from that looks like? Looks like or again or washington Or montana or wyoming Yeah, that's my guess That's my guess man, and that's i'm sticking to it 12-step program for sure. That's my threshold of wealth Very cool T in us was down over 9 for a while today. Wow Very cool stuff just scrolling through. I think we covered everybody pretty much Right on rebeck is getting a ninth inning call out here I'll save you the trouble number one personal finance channel on youtube is matt money. Oh, man You're breaking my heart. Where do I where do I fit in am I like number two? Or six? Do I make the top 10? That's pretty good man I think all youtubers think that they're the best it's funny it's it's and Gotta have a little ego to do this. I guess a little bit of an ego to when I started this man. It was nerve-wracking to Film yourself now. I'm really happy with the content that comes through actually you're getting a little bit more A little bit more personality a little bit more of a taste of who I am as a person and that's pretty cool Like when I first started you go back and I keep my first video online just because it's funny to go back and reflect on you know hello Welcome to the end. I mean to the independent to the independent channel. I mean independent investor channel It's pretty funny go back and watch it Hey, man, if you think you can start a youtube channel man go go do it. It's very cool. Yeah, see cherry pie. Absolutely.

I tell it like it is I speak as Close to if not try to revolve around the truth as closely as I possibly can for your benefit and mine Mine before yours because this is a tutorial through youtube I'm not trying to tell you what to do as a matter of fact if you disagree with what I do Go ahead and go do the complete opposite. It's no problem to me whatsoever I will continue to build my wealth and I will build it to an extent where we get to seven figures and two and three and four million dollars Perhaps maybe there will always be detractors. There will always be naysayers There will always be people in the mainstream media who will tell you that you're doing it wrong That you need to do this that you need to do that that you need to do this Remember this guys They do not know you I have always suggested that people out there are their best They are their best advocates They know themselves the most They know what they can subject their personal emotions to the best So why not look to fine-tune those skills and those personal assessments of yourself And start to trust yourself a little bit Because where you're putting trust now guys is probably proving futile And it leaves the masses even more confused When in fact they're looking for clarity In a topic that can very easily confuse the masses over the long term guys I appreciate you tuning in to the Friday live stream We'll be back with you next Friday 9 o'clock eastern standard time on the fastest 60 minutes on youtube guys. Be well We'll catch you next week	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcsXWAIlXr8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCZKMj3YI0wP-kq4QYpaKdEA	eXplainable Predictive Decisioning: combine ML & Decision Management for trusted automated decisions	The increased demand for transparent, explainable decision making, that is accurate, consistent and effective, has never been greater. Legislations like GDPR are just a result of increasing concerns about privacy, safety and transparency in general. While AI/ML solutions are great at making sense of high volumes of data, the reasoning process for most of the generated analytic models is usually quite opaque. Decision Management on the other hand, is a discipline that aims to provide full transparency on the decision process, but requires formalization of knowledge into decisions/rules, using some form of knowledge engineering (automated or not). During this presentation, attendees will learn about a standards based, pragmatic approach to achieve the goals of eXplainable AI (XAI), combining decision models and analytic models. The approach promotes an effective method to increase transparency on automated decision making, without losing effectiveness. In particular, presenters will demo how PMML (Predictive Modeling Markup Language), a well established standard for the representation of predictive models generated using Machine Learning can be transparently combined with DMN (Decision Model and Notation), a Decision Modeling standard that defines a high level language for decision automation. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how the combination of these two Standards enhances and creates a high level effective solution for AI which can be explained and trusted.	null	2021-04-09T16:10:44	2024-02-05T16:12:40	2,527	pcWHcv-zjgk	for joining us today on this session and I will leave the mic to Daniele. Thank you. Hi Rua, as already anticipated by the title today, we're going to explain you how we can do explainable predictive decision in a way so that we combine ML and decision management to promote trust in automated decision making. First, step back. When we discuss about AI, in reality, we have a lot of different type of AI and it's not that trivial to be on the same page in terms of, okay, what do we mean with AI? Traditionally, I would say that maybe the first definition of AI was essentially what usually is called a pure AI. So it means an AI machine that can replace completely a human for any type of task. Well, that type of AI, there are research, this is from almost three years ago, estimated that we will have a chance to achieve a similar AI in more than 125 years from now. So it means that we are quite far from an AI that can completely replace human, but this doesn't mean that we cannot already use and benefit from AI system. So let's introduce another definition of AI that is the pragmatic AI. In this type of AI, we define a set of building block technologies, so digital decisioning, mathematical optimization, natural language processing, machine learning, robotics, all those building blocks provide a specific type of feature and combining them, we can already solve business problem and we can already automate leverage AI technology. We cannot replace in all the type of scenario, but those building blocks are already quite powerful. In particular, our definition of pragmatic approach to predictive decision automation is the way to combine machine learning technology, building block, digital decisioning and mathematical optimization. With machine learning, we have the possibility to extract data from, extract information from data. So we have usually already a lot of data that when the user may be interact with the website or with our mobile app, we can use that to, for example, learn user behavior and the user similarity. So we can realize that we can cluster user and classify user and say, okay, we realize that all those users seems to be interested in the same type of product. So I can build a recommender, so I can try to sell additional product based on their behavior. At the same time with digital decisioning, I can define my set of rule. Usually I have in my business a set of rule because I can decide that I want to promote a specific type of product, even if maybe it's not the best match, but it's because it's strategical for our company, so we wanted to expand our market in a specific type of product. So we can decide that to tune this information or at the same time we can use it to define which the best way to engage our customer. So we can define that maybe we realize that, okay, I have my system and the customer decided that it doesn't want to receive any mail want to only see messages or notification or even I can apply regular additional constraint like I don't want to promote, provide a suggestion on a product that the user already bought in the past. So I can add a lot of many different digital decisioning aspect that usually are human driven, human knowledge and expertise. At the same time, I can also leverage mathematical optimization to optimize my, for example, the shipping of my product. So I am in any commerce, I was able to create a recommender. This recommender was enriched, has been enriched with digital decisioning and now I have to provide my product to the customer and they want to optimize my shipping chain so that I'm able to reach the customer really fast because now the market, if you're using any commerce and you cannot ship in, I don't know, more than 25 hours, sometimes say, okay, I will just use a different shop. So those kinds of optimization can be really crucial to be successful successfully in your type of market. The approach that we follow in that in general, we believe in open source and in open standard and we try to use and embrace them as much as we can. And traditionally, there has been a lot of standardization or attempt to standardize different aspects of a business domain on a business automation domain to try to cover those gaps. So we have on one side business automation. So we have a business that has a problem, a business problem to solve. And the other side, we also now have machine learning that usually it's a quite mathematical approach. So it's quite hard to make those kind of different type of people, personas that communicate. So for example, there is a CMM and the BPMN standard that help to model case and processes of your business problem. Then we have a DMN and PMML that it's a way to model with DMN a decision. And with PMML, it's a way to serialize a machine learning model. And those two standards work really well together. And this is the focus of this presentation. We're going to show you how we can take a decision, we can take a model and we can use them together. The benefit of this integration is the fact that we are able to provide the proper tool for each persona. So we have a decision model that it's used to an Excel like environment. So a spreadsheet, decision table, also a similar environment. It's a good fit for a decision model because he know how to model, specify all the information that he knows. At the same time, for a data scientist, they are definitely much more confident using an environment like our, like Python, Jupyter Notebook. So we wanted to enable this type of relation. And PMML, it's the lingua franca that we can use to make them communicate. This approach, even if we are now going to show you a specific example, in reality it's not really that specific as approach because it applied to, I will say, the majority of the business problem that you have because you have essentially a problem. Every time you have a problem where you wanted to extract information from your data using ML, that you wanted to reach this information to make a proper decision. So I have this classification, so I know that now the customer is classified as a gold, then I can make a decision. Okay, if it's gold, I can apply maybe a specific pricing. So I can make a decision based on that ML and this is true, for example, for detection, for customer variety scoring, for efficient customer service management, predictive customer retention. So all the type of user interaction can fit with this approach. Now I'm going to end over to Matteo so that he can proceed and show the show. Thank you, Daniele, for this introduction. And indeed to see that those open standards and those concept in action today, let's try to focus on which are the business flows that normally you have in the industry and maybe in your business as well, and how we can apply this open standard in this specific detail. So on one side here in this slide, we have highlighted two flows. So on one side we have the decision automation flow. Here is where we start with your business-relevant data. In the example of the e-commerce that Daniele was making earlier, this could be your customer that is and the basket bin of the items that is shopping off. And then we want to make some decision about it, or as well it could be a prospect, somebody who's asking the loan, and therefore this will be the credit score and the application data for the loan, specific loan, the specific credit that this person is applying to. So with this data, we want to implement a decision model that is normally in charge of the business analyst working with the business stakeholder to define. And here is where we can make use of the DMN open standard. It's an open standard that we will see can really benefit for getting this requirement and getting this model, this operational decision encoded with this open standard. And the result of this is that you will be able to reason on your business data and to make a decision, normally an operational one. This decision in turn, will translate into a business relevant action. So here is where you will offer a discount to the customer or you may choose if to delegate for this loan application to some higher level of support or you can automatically approve the loan request because it's a low amount and a low risk. So in turn, these action drive the business but as well will generate some new data a returning customer, a new application for a loan and so on. On another side, we have the typical flow of the machine learning and knowledge discover activity. Here is where we start still again with the business data. The key difference could be that not only you could rely on structured data, you could also have unstructured one. You can start to reason about images, videos, audio, anything that you can think of and all these structured and unstructured documents feeding to the machine learning activity as you know, in order to provide a predicting model. A model that in turn will be put into production in order to make use of it and to make a prediction on your data. So here is where for instance, you can really have the implementation of the recommender system for the online shop that Daniela was mentioning earlier. Here you can have a predicting model for a risk, for a specific client and so on. Again, as very well know, the predicting model once it's put into production may lose some precision. So you may have to retrain the model and of course both flow provide forecast for these feedback loops. The key point that we would like to highlight today is how you can integrate both the predictive machine learning model and the decision model to make the best use of this both worlds. The demo that we're going to see today is about a credit card dispute, meaning in the demo, the credit card in the institutes of the bank, it's offering its client as usual, the option to dispute a credit card transaction. And here is the business process, one of the open standard that actually support this process for the bank. We will start with the credit fraud that is being submitted as a request from the client. And here is one key part. We want to make some key relevant business decision whether to proceed on this process in an automatic fashion or in a manual way. If you proceed automatically, then the sub process is very lean, but if instead it requires some manual interaction, for instance, some review from the bank clerk, then as you can see, it requires more steps. So this will be much longer. So here is the process, but what is the, how we can make the decision whether we can or we can, we decided to process this automatically or manually. Normally analytically, this is done by defining some decision table in this case to support the risk estimation. Decided, the decision table are a visual paradigm where you would have the input columns or your input data, your features on the left-hand side of the table and the decisions or the output value on the right. Let's see one example here. We have a couple of decision table. One is in charge of estimating the inherent risk for the card holder. What another one is to estimate the dispute risk. So how much this transaction is risky to be disputed for the bank? Let's see one specific example. If I'm a standard customer of this bank and I'm disputing for less than $25, then here the business analyst in agreement with the business stakeholder have put a low value, in this case a value of one. While if I'm still a standard customer and I'm disputing a transaction amount between $25 and $150, then the business analyst here have decided to have a greater value, three. So in this case to signify that is a more risky. So this is pretty simple. And this is the way that has been done traditionally in an analytical way. But in 2020, we can do much better than that. And we can do actually more precise and more efficient prediction using machine learning. Here, we will still reason on structured data. So the data that is incoming, but as well, some unstructured data that the bank might be in possession which is really benefiting from the pool of all the transaction that have run through the Institute of all the credit card dispute that has always been happening in the past of all the customer that the bank is leaning from and actually external data sources as well. One key takeaway, however, is that the machine learning activity that we are trying to promote today, it doesn't change from what you normally do. Here, you would still use your preferred Python framework like TensorFlow or R or Spark, the Python, any other Python framework. The key point, however, is that you recognize that the output of this activity is to produce a predictive model. Instead of persisting the predictive model in a proprietary format, we are suggesting, hey, you can actually save that and many framework actually allow you to do that in an open standard such as PMML. And once you save and persist the predictive model in with this open standard, then you can really put and benefit into production with interaction that we see in today. So I'll switch down to the demo to show you in action. Here, we start from the perspective of the customer of the bank. I'm logging into the bank portal. You can see my status. I'm a platinum member. You can see my overall amount that I have in the bank. And as I start to see the credit card transaction history, then I recognize that something is off. So I'm going to dispute this specific credit card transaction. As I click this button, here behind the scene I have that business process that we have defined that is providing the step that as a user, I'm fingering out. These are the data that the bank is requiring. In this case, I'm entering the reason for the credit card transaction. And as I finish, you see that it gives me a case ID. So number four. So this is how we're going to remember this ID because we are going to see behind the scene what has been happening on business central, which is the platform that support this process execution and why we will have some return on it. So I'm connecting to business central now. And one of the things that I would like to revise here is to really overview in a little bit more detail the process for this credit card dispute. So the moment that I started to dispute it, I started the process with the box that you see in the upper left corner. So as soon as I started, actually behind the scene there has been some decision task. Here is where we will use the decision model to actually decide, okay, is this dispute transaction to be resolved automatically or it requires some manual reviews. And as we noticed in the automatic way is the one that I would prefer if possible because otherwise any manual intervention, as you can see, it requires much more steps. It requires also some human interaction with the credit card, sorry, with the bank clerk to revise and to eventually feedback. So let's see what has specifically happened with that instance. So ID number four you see here and here is the ID in this screen. But then let's see on the diagram what has happened. Here you can see in gray highlighted color the steps, the flow, the path that the process have taken. So with the business process management notation we can really support this and show to you which step that the process has been enacting. But let's see now why the decision was, okay, we can process this automatically because you can see here is the process variable that that was true. So here you see some data. I am a platinum of the bank, the user was a platinum of the bank and you can see the credit card transaction that has been disputed, $44. Now let's start to see a couple of risk estimation. The dispute risk is pretty low is one and also the credit hold the risk is pretty low as again is one. Here are, and we will see now are the part that I've done in a first step with the analytical decision table and both support the final decision which is this dispute can be transacted automatically or manually. So this is how the process has been interacting with the decision model in order to decide how to deal with this dispute. We can go now and see, okay, what is happening behind the scene of the decision model? And so here I'm accessing the specific asset here that dispute that decision model. And here we can see that the key point, the key decision formalizing the MN is if to process the transaction automatically manually. There are two sub decision or two supporting decision. One is the dispute risk estimation and what is the card holder risk estimation as we seen briefly earlier. But we can see more details now. So we can drill down and see the table that are actually here is live on the system and we can see indeed also the specific role that has been triggered. So because I'm a platinum member and I've disputed for less than $100, $45 and whatever, then the dispute risk is pretty low, is one. So this is the way that I could do before machine learning integration. And the same would happen for the card holder risk. But here is a one key point. What is this decision telling us? Well, here in layman term is that if both the dispute risk are below a certain threshold, then we can transact it automatically. You see it's basically just trying to ensure that both risk are below a certain threshold. So this is the key part. You can use decision model to actually formalize what are the policies that you want to implement. Okay, but now we can do one step more. Now we want to actually replace those decision, analytical decision table with machine learning predicted model. This is because we can have much more reasonable and sensible estimation about both risk because we can leverage really all the benefit from the machine learning activity. So what I should do here is that out of the machine learning we have learned, we can persist the predicted model in an open standard such a PMML. And I've already uploaded that to Business Central, the system that you see now on the screen, already for you. So here are the dispute risk estimation and the card holder risk estimation with a couple of machine learning algorithm persisted as PMML file. And now we are going to integrate those machine learning predictive model inside of the DMN, the decision model to actually plug in these models inside my decision model. So what I normally could do here is that as a business analyst, I get the benefit of this editor in Business Central and we provided to you a very simple editor, sorry, very simple capabilities that would allow the business analyst to integrate the PMML model with DMN. The editor provides you a guided wizard basically to integrate those tools. So in this case, I'm linking, okay, I want to use the dispute machine learning model for linear regression in this decision model. And here what I need to do is that, okay, now for the dispute risk estimation, I want to use that predictive model. In DMN, we don't have the time to do a crash course on DMN today, but what you would normally do is that you would define a function that calls this predictive model. And the specification, the open standard DMN already envisage it from the standard specification. So what we do is that we make life simpler for the business analyst by providing really editor capabilities that can integrate DMN and PMML together in an easy way. So as you can see here, I'm navigating, I'm using the dispute machine learning model. And now another key aspect is that I don't want maybe to check what's inside the model itself, but I want to know which are the inputs and which are the output I will get. As soon as I select it, so as soon as I will select the predictive model that is inside that PMML file, you will see that the editor now provided immediately for me the input of the feature that are needed to be fed inside of the predictive model to make the estimation. And now here normally what we'll do is that in DMN, we will do a needle refactoring. In the interest of time today, we don't have the all the time to spend here to see in the details, but basically like the in the best cooking show do, I have already prepared it on the side. There are two variation of these decision model. As you can see, the structure is overall the same. You want to decide if the process automatically or manually based on two sub support in decision, the dispute risk estimation and I call the risk estimation. And those are already being refactored to make use of the machine learning predictive model persisted with PMML, as you can see there. So with now these available, what I can do is that I can go back to the BPMN file for the process and say, now for that decision task, I want to use the decision model that make use of the predictive model. And here is how you can combine the standard all together in the way that Daniela have been introducing you in the introduction. So in the editor is pretty simple, you go back to the decision task and you simply change the name of the DMN model. In this case, I'm using one of the two available that integrates with the PMML. And as soon as I save it, here it will be again, pretty simple. I can save it and push into production. Of course, this is done for the purpose of the demo because especially in banks, you wouldn't let that one person can have the access to all the buttons to push to production. But here is to show the capabilities that you really have available and you can decide how to best delegate and integrate. So now what we can do is that we can go back to the same front-end application of the customer for the bank and see how the scenario would play out now that we've changed that decision model. So again, I connect, I'm a Platinum member, I can see my status in the bank, I see the transaction card history and I want to dispute this one. As you will see, the flow for disputing this transaction remains unchanged. This is the thing that we expect, but as soon as I will feed again, all the data that the bank is requiring to me, I get a silent dining ID. In this case, ID number five. So we can go back on business center now and see, okay, what has been happening behind the scene and what is the result of this. So as I move back, I can go and check in my process instances, which are these process that I just completed, ID number five as we expected. And as you can see here, is ID number five. And again, if I go into the diagram, oh yeah, the same flows has been intact. And this is what we expect. The key difference here now is that for the dispute risking and for the card holder inherent risk, I get a different values. And these are not values that business analysts would enter in the decision table. And this is where we really integrate. We have integrated the decision model with the predicting model. So we've changed the decision model to make use of the machine learning result in order to make a more efficient estimation for this risk. So these take into account all the machine learning activities that the data scientists of the Bank Institute have done. And so we get indeed the same outcome, but now it's governed and driven by machine learning under the same decision model. So the key point of the policy, which is under a certain threshold, I still transact this dispute automatically has been respected. Of course, with all of these being available on the open shift, we have both operational and business metrics. In the interest of time, I will skip ahead because also Daniele will speak a little about this more, but we can offer as well the Grafana dashboard for KPI and metrics. What is important about this dashboard is that we can offer KPI metrics to both operations, but also as well to the business. In this case, this dashboard has an upper part, which is how many transactions has been disputed automatically versus Manoli. And of course, this is the ratio that we would expect, but also we can see the distribution with this hit map graph about what is the dispute risk estimation and the cardholder risk estimation by varying the decision model behind the scene. So this is the decision model with the decision table. But I can simulate what happens to the system as well if I change the decision model that makes use of the machine learning predictor model. And you can see the overall result will be the same, except that the dispute risk now changes shifted in the distribution for the dispute risk estimation. So this can be a feedback to the data scientist and to revise the machine learning model in order to come up to another variation again, where we're still having the same concept like I want to govern the risk threshold and below I will transact it automatically. But now the machine learning predictive model have a variation for this risk that is more compatible with what we are used to see. So to recap what we've seen, we've seen a decision model that can make use of the machine learning predictive model in order to govern a main policy for the bank. In this case, under a set of threshold, I want to process this automatically and integrate the sub-supporting decision with an open standard such as PMML. Here is where the two standards, the two open standards, DMN and PMML shine because they can shine together. Here we've shown how we can integrate the DMN and how the specification entails capability to connect with the machine learning predictive model of PMML. And what we do to make the life easier for your business analyst is to provide editor capabilities that allow that integration to be as smooth as possible. We also offer, there is no time to go into detail today, but we also offer a scenario simulation tool for ensuring no regression testing. Here is where you can encode in a way the scenarios, their requirements that your business they call their ask you and make sure that whatever underlying implementation of models you do, you still have the expected outcome in the way that the stakeholder have asked you to implement. We have seen briefly the Grafana dashboard and how we can use it for both operational and business KPI matrix. And finally, all this demo has been running on the OpenShift Container Platform. So we shown how we can use Redux Process Automation Manager to govern the knowledge asset, the BPMN, the DMN, the PMML file and how we can use the decision server in that to actually enact those process, enact those decision and run the machine learning predictive model. We shown to you how to make a matrix with Grafana and as well the banking application is still hosted on the OpenShift Container Platform. And now I will get it back to Daniele who will show to you a little bit more how to improve confidence. Thanks, Montaio. After at this point of the presentation, we already shown how to take a model, combine a model, use a model and also provide some information. But at this point, we also realize that there are sometimes some aspect that we probably need something more or that maybe can have where we can provide additional support. So especially if you combine AI in terms of machine learning technology, sometimes the result could be quite unpredictable, especially when it happened that in production you will use the model that has been trained with a set of data with a new data that was not available during the training phase so that the model has not be tested with that specific value. So this is a quite, let's say simple and funny example where there was a AI camera that has been trained to follow the ball in a football game in Scotland, I think, in a Scotland TV channel. But they were probably not been trained with considering that there is people that are bold. And at that point, the camera started instead of follow the ball, follow the referee. So in this case, this is just a simple example and of course it was mainly, of course it was a sort of fun outcome but if you have maybe a system that approve your loan and you will just have your loan and not approved because of a similar error you want on both side, you want to have the control. So on end user side, you wanted to understand why? And on the service provider side do you want to prevent the same version? So there are also this type of constraint or this kind of condition are, let's say in general, a good idea but they are also started to be imposed the companies with different type of regulation. GDPR is probably the most famous one in Europe. It's not the only one. And of course it's a quite big and complex type of field and the law cannot go in details like, I can use a neural network but I cannot use something different. So can you move next to the next slide? So in general, it just provide general principle like you need to provide meaningful information about logic involved or at the same time as user you need to be able to challenge that decision. So it's not enough that the company say, sorry, this is the outcome because the algorithm says so. So I needed to provide information and the end user can say, okay, I don't think that you apply the proper logic and I wanted to dispute that decision. So that all those kind of aspect we try to consider them when we created a trustee initiative. So with trustee initiative, the goal was to offer value added services to for business automation. And to do that to obtain a similar scenario, you have to have a proper monitoring. So you needed to discover the situation that maybe starting to behave in a way that is what's not expected. At the same time, you needed to collect trace and accountability information because if you wanted to go back and do an analysis or maybe train again your model, you need to collect those data because otherwise, even in case of dispute you don't know exactly what happened because you just have maybe the complaint or the final outcome that is completely black box like okay, the loan has been rejected but you don't know the input, you don't know the internal mechanism logic, you don't know the risk value that has been calculated. And in addition, there are explainable AI algorithm that it's a field of research that try to define algorithm that try to describe or in general provide information about the internal mechanism of the model even if it's a black box. So I can provide the information and those information try to explain why a specific decision has been made. To do that, we get these Kojito initiative, okay, Kojito is the next gen cloud native business automation solution. So it's technology that we, you know, that's created. It's has been created, started like I would say or more or less two years ago to take the technology, take the knowledge that you already have and try to make it work as a first class citizen in a cloud native environment. So it means that to be strictly integrated with Kubernetes, with Quarkus, with OpenSheet, of course, Kafka. So leverage the new technology, new parting shift. So traditionally our survey or all in general those kinds of surveys were sort of monolithical monolithical service that provide all your knowledge in a with a single executor. Now we have a microservice approach. So it means that you have your Kojito application that contains a specific set of knowledge and decision processes in JVM or native mode. And then you have a lot of additional services that provide additional capability, like the job service if you needed to, for example, if you have a timer or the data indexer if you wanted to provide some reporting. So instead of having a single component, this kind of flexibility give us the possibility to scale each specific component. So it means that if you have, for example, and you needed to provide a really deep analysis, you don't need it to scale your runtime. Your runtime will proceed as expected before. We just needed to provide to scale maybe the data indexer. And this is sort of out of the box in OpenSheet container platform. Trusty services, so trust ecosystem, it's part of this ecosystem. So we provide microservice that can be used, of course, together with Kojito application to enrich your decision logic with all those aspects, monitoring, tracing, and explainability. Another key aspect that we were considered since the beginning for trusty in general, especially when you approach explainability is that in reality you wanted to provide not the same explanation explanation to everyone. You wanted to provide the right tool to the right step. So it means that if I am a data scientist, usually I needed to have something that could be really technical, but at the same time, usually I don't have a really deep domain knowledge. So I know, I understand the model, I can understand if the model has some specific strange behavior, but I don't know maybe the business impact of a similar behavior. And completely on the other, I help positive. We have maybe the compliance worker or the bank manager that has a high level understanding of, sorry, a good high level understanding of the domain knowledge. So I know exactly the business impact if my, for example, my loan will not be approved because I know the impact in terms of business. At the same time, I don't have technical knowledge. So if I provide you an explanation that it's too technical, it's useless. The case worker, it's sort of in the middle because usually it's the one that know exactly how to handle a specific case by case domain. So in a loan, I know exactly how to fill a loan request. I don't know the business impact in the general speaking. So I don't know, for example, what's the impact on the company, but I know exactly what I'm doing. So the type of explanation that we need to provide it's different. Business monitoring, I will go through quite quickly because it's similar to what Matteo already shown in advance. And now what we do in addition is that we automatically generated those dashboard based on the information that we extract from the model. So if your model has two different decision that provide a Boolean like approved or reject, we can plot, we can provide those metrics so that we can show, you can see the flow of each of those decisions. Operational monitoring, it's from a microservice perspective. Of course, you wanted to make sure that your system healthy. So it means that the, for example, the number of requests that for each endpoint it's below a certain threshold or in general the latency, it's under control. Even that type of the monitoring is provided out of the box considering the information that we exposed. Let's introduce quickly a use case, a credit card approval scenario. So I am a customer, I am in front of my case worker, I apply for a credit card, my request has been rejected and I'm asking for why. So I wanted to understand why this credit card request has been rejected. The case worker can access the ODT UI where it can look at not only the final outcome but also the intermediate result. So not only approved through a false but also for in this case the level of confidence that it's already a good information like, okay, this decision has been made considering a specific level of confidence. The ODT UI also provide the explainability. It means that we are able to sort and extract feature importance information. So it means that for each decision, so for this specific execution that you're looking at, you can see the information about the feature that had the most positive and most negative impact. So for example, you can extract the information about what are the feature that maybe were considered the most important to have this card reject. And usually are the information that the user needs to understand how can he tune or how can change the information like, okay, maybe I need to provide a new grant or maybe I can try to change my information to have the credit paraprofactor. Just this is just a final slide so that we collect some of the resources. You can find the demo that Matteo did available on YouTube. You can find more information about what is DMN, how to learn DMN also, what is Kojito. And then it's an introduction and also a deep dive on trust AI initiative and technologies. And finally, of course, all those technology are open source, but as a result, we provide the professional services. So if you're interested, you can find the link in the slide. I think that this was the last slide, right, Matteo? Yeah, thank you, thank you very much. I think that I don't know if there is any question or comment, we have probably another few minutes. Okay, which I see in the chat that I can answer live, which algorithm are used to generate the ODIT UI. Our audit, our explainability toolkit support a different algorithm, implemented line, shop, and we also have a solution for counterfactual. So it means that we can provide a what-if scenario. So change the output, provide me the range of the changes that I can do, and the engine will automatically produce an input. So altering the data to have this kind of information. In particular, for the ODIT UI, we implemented the line algorithm, but with some specific change to make it work in our context because we are considering that we are targeting a decision service. We usually don't have training information. So usually we don't know exactly because it's domain driven. So if the user defined that the threshold is five, I don't have training data to justify this information. It's a domain expert. So for that ODIT UI, for that explainability we are using this algorithm, while the other algorithm are accessible for a data scientist. And we plan to expose other feature to in the ODIT UI or in similar to based on the persona. So our goal is that we implemented the algorithm part so that we can provide those information, but at the same time define a feature and to understand if this is a good fit. So can answer a question that a case worker or a compliant worker can understand and in this way integrate in the platform.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcWHcv-zjgk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This includes comments aimed at subscribers, commenters and viewers. harley is the best	[ "books", "booktube" ]	2017-01-03T22:30:00	2024-04-23T14:54:08	174	pcyitave2Mw	Hey guys, it's Tilly, and today I am here with a YA Chronicles unboxing. This is the December box, and I'm very excited to rip into this. So the YA Chronicles is a YA Australian Book subscription box done by two lovely ladies called Beck and Allison. They are fantastic, and I absolutely adore every single box that they do. And yeah, check them out, I'll have their links below, but for now, let's get started. Ever since I started getting the YA Chronicles, I've literally become a hoarder of tissue paper. I don't know why, but I always keep it. It's just, we're so colorful, and it's an issue. So first of all, we've got some tape. It's got some little stars and some little moons on it, and it's got the black vape. And I really wish that I'd opened this box sooner, because I could have used this for Christmas presents, but oh well, I get to use it for myself now. You know, one thing I really want to do in 2017 is start sticking and like, marking my books more so that I can find like quotes and everything that I love about books. And now that I've got these little sticky bookmarks, I know that I can, because these will come in perfectly handy. And for those of you who do tag their books, like, these are freaking adorable. We've got a little bookish magna, magna. We've got a little bookish magnet that says I fell into a book, and that is true, I have fallen into many books, and I just can't get out. Yes! I love bookish merch, jewelry, and I have this snitch to go on as a necklace. And I am so excited. I love this little thing. Oh, it's a bracelet! The Why Chronicles bookmark and the Why Chronicles info card. So the theme of this box, because I forgot to mention that, is simply wonderful, and so far it is pretty damn wonderful. This stunning hardcover book, it is Finding Wonders Three Girls Who Change Science by Janine Atkins. She heard amazing things about this book so far. I haven't had the chance to actually see it anyway yet, but I am actually very excited. I've heard very many good things about this. So there's a book of poems that follows Three Young Girls as they find wonders in the world around them, and yes, I'm so excited to read this, and I think I might actually read it like very soon, because it's going to be like a quick read as well as a good read. There you guys have the December Why Chronicles box. I really enjoyed it, and I cannot wait to read that book, and I know that I want to use a lot of the stuff that came inside that box as well, so it's like the perfect thing ever. Like I said, I will leave all the links to their website and everything below. Definitely check them out if you guys are looking for a really good YA subscription box, and yes, I hope you guys have a lovely bookish day, and that great things happen to you. I, Tilly, from Tilly and Her Books, will not be buying a single book in the year of 2017.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcyitave2Mw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCCd3-JX7e8uGZx00i5646jg	Apple Will Soon Halt Sale of Flagship Watches in US		null	2023-12-19T01:00:15	2024-02-07T17:46:44	58	PCv6Lmy0c4k	This is a big one. Apple says it will halt U.S. online sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra II starting Thursday, December 21st at 3 p.m. Eastern time. A medical technology company called Massimo has accused Apple of violating its patents related to the oximeter, the blood oxygen sensors on the watch and the International Trade Commission upheld that Apple violated two patents of Massimo and sent that decision to the U.S. President for review. If the president does not veto the decision, Apple will be prevented from importing any watches that use that sensor. And Larry and Atlanta asked a good question. Couldn't Apple just pay the royalties? Like why not just pay the royalties? Usually that's not just because they don't want to pay the money because this is costly to go through this fight, but because they don't want to encourage others to come at them either. So they want to make it as painful as possible for you to sue them.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCv6Lmy0c4k", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This is the CircuitPython Weekly for February 14th, 2022. This is the time of the week where we get together to talk all things CircuitPython. I'm Scott, and I'm sponsored by Adafruit to work on CircuitPython. CircuitPython is a version of Python designed to run on tiny computers called microcontrollers. CircuitPython development is primarily sponsored by Adafruit, so if you want to support them and CircuitPython, consider purchasing hardware from Adafruit.com. This meeting is hosted on the Adafruit Discord server. You can join any time by going to the URL adafru.it.discord. We hold the meeting in the CircuitPython Dev Text Channel and the CircuitPython Voice Channel. This meeting typically happens on Mondays at 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific, except when it coincides with the US holiday. In the Note Stock, there's a link to a calendar you can view online or add to your favorite calendar app. We also send notifications about upcoming meetings via Discord. If you'd like to receive these notifications, ask us to add you to the CircuitPythonDista's Discord role. I should note that next week is on Tuesday. Next week is 24 hours later than normal because it is President's Day here in the US. So just double checking that that's true. So next week, the meeting will be on the 22nd, not on the 21st. So I will try to make that clear and all the stuff that we're doing as well. But just adds up the meetings a day, 24 hours later than normal next week. Okay, there is a Note Stock to accompany the meeting and the recording. The Notes document contains timestamps to go along with the video, so it can use the doc to view only the parts of the video that interest you most. The meeting tends to run 60 to 90 minutes, so this gives you the option to skip around. After each meeting, we post a link for the next meeting's notes in the CircuitPythonDev channel on the Adafruit Discord. Check the pinned messages to find the latest Note Stock so you can add your notes for the following meeting. If you wish to participate but cannot attend, you can leave hug reports and status updates in the document for us to read during the meeting. This meeting is held in five parts. The first is community news. This is a look at all things CircuitPython and Python on hardware in the community. It's a preview of our Python on microcontrollers newsletter. The second part is the state of CircuitPython libraries in Blinka. This is a statistical overview of the entire project. It's a chance to look at the project by the numbers separate from what we're all up to. The third part is hug reports. Hug reports is an opportunity to highlight the good things folks are doing, taking the time to recognize the awesome folks in our community. The fourth part is status updates. Status updates is an opportunity to sync up on what we've been up to. It takes a couple of minutes. So take a couple of minutes and talk about what you've been doing in the last week since the last meeting and what you'll be up to over the next week until the next meeting. The fifth and final part is in the weeds. In the weeds is an opportunity for more long form discussions. These discussions can come out of status updates or be something you've identified ahead of time is too long for status updates. And that covers how the meeting will go. And I'll move on to the first section and take a time code and get this show on the road. So first up, this is community news. This is a chance for us to talk about all things CircuitPython. Oh, CircuitPython, MicroPython, and Python on hardware. Thank you to Ann for putting these together and whoever accidentally deleted stuff and undid it. Thank you for that as well. Okay. So the first thing we have here is 500 Adafruit projects have been certified products have been certified by the open source at certified as open source by the open source hardware association, Oshawa. Adafruit is an open source hardware and software company. To that end, Adafruit has been working to submit many of their boards for certification by the open source hardware association. According to Oshawa, the certification program exists to make it easy for creators and users to identify hardware that follows the community definition of open source hardware maintained by Oshawa. Hardware projects that display the certification logo are licensed and documented in a way that makes it easy for users to use and build upon them. So on February 7th, Adafruit hit the milestone of 500 certified projects and was the first to reach this number. By registering their boards with Oshawa, Adafruit aims to ensure that users ensure users that products they sell are open source and easy to learn about. Adafruit extends a special thank you to everyone who made this possible but especially the wonderful folks over at Oshawa who set this all up and were incredibly helpful throughout this process. Additionally, they thank the community that keeps this all going and encourages them to publish, share, and more. And thanks to FOMI-I for putting a link in. Next up, CircuitPython. Let me take a timecode. This is my first set of timecodes I've taken where I don't have the number keys labels. I'm working on that. Okay, so CircuitPython 7.2.0, Alpha2 was released. It was released this past week. It's the second published Alpha release for 7.2. It is relatively stable but there will be further additions and fixes before final release. Notable additions to 7.2 since 7.1 are continued work on the Raspberry Pi Broadcom board support, support for the ESP32-S3 and C3 including some Bailey, RP2040-PIO optional side set support, the addition of the Stema I2C board singleton constructor which is available on every board that has Stema connectors. Bineski CRC32 is added and VectorIO has a dot contains now as well. So those are some highlights. Next we have the Raspberry Pi Beta Test Network Install of Raspberry Pi OS. Until recently you've always needed to use another computer to run Raspberry Pi Imager or to run something similar to let you flash your operating system onto an SD card when you get a new Raspberry Pi. But how do you get the operating system onto an SD card if you don't have another computer in the first place? There's a new beta version of the Raspberry Pi bootloader that implements network installation and we'd like your help to test it. The new network install feature can be used to start the Raspberry Pi Imager application directly on the Raspberry Pi 4 or a Raspberry Pi 400 by downloading it from the Internet using an Ethernet cable. The Raspberry Pi Imager application which runs in memory on the Raspberry Pi can then be used to flash the operating system onto a blank SD card or USB disk. That's very interesting. Next up, the Raspberry Pi OS 32 versus 64-bit benchmarks have been published. Raspberry Pi 32-bit benchmarks have been compiled. Most operations benefit from the 64-bit software use. The best speedup is performing the Sysbench CPU test a 1,380% speedup. Overall, using the 64-bit operating system gave a 48% faster response overall. And next, the PiCast celebrates 10 years of Raspberry Pi. New episodes with Lady Aida, Ebon Upton, and more. The PiCast celebrates 10 years of Raspberry Pi. LaMours will be livecast tomorrow, February 15th at 2.30pm US Eastern. That's 7.30pm UTC. So heads up, that's coming tomorrow. It's marked in here as today because this will go out tomorrow morning in the newsletter, which I'll talk about in just a second. But we have one more thing to talk about before we get to wrapping up this section. The sensor watch on CrowdSupply is a circuit Python compatible. The sensor watch is a microchip SAM L22-based board driving a watch LCD. It's designed to fit into a vintage Casio watch body. It has connections for sensors to make it versatile. And a designed goal is ultra-long battery life without time between charges. There's a thread on Twitter where developer Joey Castillo discusses getting circuit Python working. And I gave a tip to Joey on that and he made progress as a result too, so that's great. Okay, so that is the Community News. The Community News comes from the Circuit Python newsletter, which is a Circuit Python community-run newsletter emailed every Tuesday morning. The complete archives are available at AdafruitDaily.com slash Category slash CircuitPython. It highlights the latest Python on hardware-related news around the web, including Circuit Python, Python, and MicroPython developments. To contribute your own news or project, edit next week's draft on GitHub at GitHub.com slash Adafruit slash CircuitPython dash weekly dash newsletter, and submit a poll request so you can just click the little pencil icon in the top right and edit it there. With those changes, you may also just tag a tweet with hashtag CircuitPython on Twitter or email cpnews at Adafruit.com and we'll happily add the latest news for you as well. Okay, let's move on to the next section, which is the state of Circuit Python libraries in Blinka. This is a chance for us to take a look kind of more objectively at how things are going within the broader CircuitPython community. So I will start overall, and then go to, I will do the core, and then we'll kick it over to Katni and Melissa for the libraries in Blinka updates in just a bit. So first off, overall, we had 58 poll requests merged from 28 different authors, so thank you to all of our authors. Some new names that I haven't seen that maybe were covered before, but this is my perspective, is some new folks, new authors are Angerer, Joe Deller FC, Jonas Schatz, Tawes, VP Tech Ops, and Lashley D-A-V and Stefan Hitterholze. Those are all new authors, so that's out of the 28, so thank you everybody there for authoring PRs. And then on the reviewer side, we had 12 total reviewers for those 58 poll requests, and I just wanted to give a bit of a shout out to Tech Trick and Unexpected Maker, who I don't often see on this review list, so thank you to all of our reviewers and welcome to those newer folks. Next up, we had issues-wise, we had 38 closed issues by 18 people, and 17 opened by 14 people, so we're net down 21, which is awesome. And we have, you know, more than a dozen people interacting with issues on either side of this, so opening or closing them, so that's awesome to see people involved. Okay, next up for the core specific numbers, we had 22 poll requests merged from 16 different authors. I won't highlight some new folks here, but I'll say thank you to all of those authors, really appreciate it. We had five reviewers, thank you as always to our reviewers. We're always looking for more reviewers, so if you're interested in making the leap into reviewing, please let us know we'd be happy to help get you there. And we have 12 open poll requests, where three of them are over 100 days old, so we should take a look at those. And then actually the remainder are 31 days older or less, so that's been pretty awesome as well. Issues-wise, for the core, we had 12 closed issues by five people and 11 opened by eight people, so we're net down one, for a total of 503 open issues. This number is growing slowly, it's not the end of the world. The way that we kind of prioritize what the Adafruit Fundative Folks are going to work on sooner rather than later is through the milestone system. So we have kind of 7.2 milestone, which is the thing that we're wanting to do soonest, and then 7.xx are things that we should probably do sooner rather than later. And then we have a long-term bucket that is stuff that we're going to do in the long-term. So we have nine open issues for 7 to 23 for 7x, and then 440 for long-term. There's a few other buckets there, that's why they don't add up, but that's generally the idea. I think a lot of us are feeling that we probably want to get 7.2 stable release sooner rather than later, so I would not be surprised at those numbers. We took a look at these issues and kind of shuffled them around a bit, so don't be surprised that that happens as well. Okay, and with that, let's get the library update from Catney. Thanks, Scott. So this section applies to all of the Adafruit Circuit Python libraries, which is everything that starts with the Adafruit Circuit Python underscore as well as a few extras. Over the course of the last week, we had 31 pull requests merged from 12 different authors, and I want to point out that most of these authors are the new folks that Scott read off earlier, which is really amazing to see, and 10 different reviewers. And once again, welcome to Tech Trick for joining the review team. That leaves us with 17 open pull requests, which is just bonkers low. I'm very excited. We had 22 issues closed by 12 people and five opened by five people, leaving us with 625 open issues across all of those repositories. 219 of those are labeled good first issue. If you're interested in contributing to Circuit Python on the Python side of things, consider going to circuitpython.org slash contributing. For all of this information and more, if you're interested in reviewing, check out the open pull requests. Leave a comment that you tested it if you have the hardware. If not, let us know that you took a look at the code that it looks good to you or it doesn't. It's very helpful, and once you're comfortable with that, we can look at upgrading you to joining the review team. If you're interested in contributing code or documentation, check out the issues list. If you're new to everything, there are a lot of ways to start, and we've got plenty of those available. We have a guide on contributing to Circuit Python using Git and GitHub, and we're always available on Discord to help out. We would like you to be able to contribute in a way that works for you, so we are always available to help you along that process if that's something you're interested in doing. In terms of library updates in the last seven days, there's one new library, the Circuit Python ADXL37X library, and a number of updated libraries which I will not read off, but they are in the notes if you are interested. And that's pretty much where we are with the libraries. Awesome. Thank you, Katnie. Next up, let's get an update on Blinka from MakerMalisa. Hello. Thank you, Scott. For Blinka, which is our Circuit Python compatibility layer for MicroPython and Raspberry Pi and other single-bolt computers, this week we had five pull requests merged by four authors and four reviewers. There are currently six open pull requests amongst all the different repositories, and there were four closed issues by three people, one open by one person, leaving a net of 70 open issues. And there were 16,676 PiWheels downloads in the last month. We are currently supporting 87 boards. And that's where we're at. Awesome. Thank you, MakerMalisa. All right. And that's it for the Stated Circuit Python Libraries in Blinka. Next up, we have the first of two round robins, which is Hug Reports. Hug Reports is a chance for us to say thank you to folks for the work that they've been doing within the community. I will start, and then we'll go through the list as is in the note stock. So it's not the end of the world if it's not out of alphabetical order like we used to do. We'll just follow the note stock and see where that takes us. So if you do want to speak up, make sure you're listed there so that I go to you. Otherwise I may miss you. So next up, I will start after I take another tanko. So first, I hug to for doing the unsung hero being the unsung hero of releasing libraries. She keeps library releases going and it's awesome. So thank you for doing that Eva. Next up, I thank you to Anecdata for continuing to improve the ESP Wi-Fi APIs and experience. And lastly, a hug report to Tammy for the type PRs and Tech Trick for doing the reviews for those PRs. With that, I will go to the next person and read Anecdata who says a hug report to Michael and Dan H for helping getting my circuit python build environment working again. And next up is Dan. Thank you. Thanks to Tech Trick for continuing to do a lot of type annotation stuff and starting to review library PRs. That's terrific and kudos to Tammy Makes Things and starting to work on a whole lot more PRs whether submitting or reviewing as well. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you Dan. Next up is FOMIGuy. Alright, thanks Scott. Hug reports this week. First one for Nirdoc who converted a old pure python library called PyFleet. It hadn't been updated in many years and it was using python 2 syntax. Nirdoc updated it for us so that we can use it on python excuse me, updated it to use python 3 syntax so that we can then use it on circuit python. Anecdata also helped look into the API that is returning the response that needs this zipping functionality that we kind of got led to. Thank you echoing what a couple of folks have said. Thank you to Tammy Makes Things for getting involved and doing typing PRs and other things around the libraries. Also echoing other folks, thank you to everybody and congratulations and such for joining the review team and continuing to help out in lots of different places across all the libraries and also for prompt fix inside of Blinka this week. So thank you to Tetric to Mark Gambler for looking into a older PR on the core that was dealing with that GZIP functionality that kind of goes along with my first two hugs and then lastly a group hug to everybody. Thank you to everyone who contributes to the amazing community and especially everyone that St. Good wishes my way last week when I ran the meeting for the first time. So thank you to everybody. Awesome, thank you FilmeGuy. Next up is Jepbler. Hello, and yeah I just need to hug FilmeGuy once more for doing more and more. Thanks to Dan for doing that next pre-release of 7.2 to Mark Gambler for reviving interest in the native modules and fixing some build problems with them. And I'm sorry but I couldn't resist tinkering further with it and submitting a separate PR because I never can figure out how on GitHub to work in somebody else's PR branch. Anyway, to Katni for continually wanting to grow your coding abilities and I'm looking forward to a little bit of pair programming with you soon. To Lady Aida, thank you for the reviews and constructive feedback about my work on Adafruit Floppy. To Eva Harada for your keyboard projects it's fun seeing those guides getting close to release I think. And to my friend Steve who is not on the Adafruit Discord for the loan of a classic Commodore SX64 computer for the Floppy project. Awesome, thank you Jepbler. Next up is Jerry. Hi, where'd it go? Come back here. There it is. Yeah, thanks to Katni and Andin for a quick response to a moderation request that I did over the weekend. It was nice to get some quick feedback. And Dan, thanks for the HTTP server demo. It's nice to play with that group hug to everybody else. Awesome, thank you Jerry. Next up is Katni. I got a long list today. That's because there's so many awesome people. Yeah, and my categories apparently. So first up is TechTrick for joining the CircuitPython Librarians review team. A lot of people have covered that but I really appreciate that the reason for that was so that TechTrick could fix all the readme's on the libraries which is also a great thank you. And for fixing the cookie cutter bugs I found when generating a new library there were things that we updated elsewhere that hadn't been updated in cookie cutter. And in addition to fixing all the readme's TechTrick really jumped in and started reviewing a lot of PRs and that's been super helpful. To Tammy makes things for submitting PRs to the libraries for open issues. To Carter for helping me find something incredibly obvious that I couldn't find. To Jeff for offering to help me with some code. I'm looking forward to that. To FoamyGuy for updating a guide for me. To Mark Gambler for writing two new pages and the first one for the new IS-31 code. That's the native slash additions to the library bits that makes things run faster in CircuitPython. And that's really good because I know people are really interested in that sort of thing. To Dan for the latest CircuitPython alpha release. To Paul for the upcoming CircuitPython show podcast. I am recording my episode this week. To everyone who is involved in finding the three layer deep Sphinx bug that was released last week. I think Tectric has all the names coming up. It was like three different libraries that you had to get through before you found the actual issue. And thanks to Tectric for submitting the quick fix and a group hug to everyone. Awesome. Thank you so much, Katani and Kat. Next up is K-Match. Thanks, Scott. So first hug is related to some discord information on the capabilities of the ESP32S3 and Deshapu gave me some interesting reading material on how to drive RGB displays. So that was useful. And second thanks is thanks to Katani. Thanks for always being welcoming and willing to listen. Thanks everybody. Thanks K-Match. Next up is maker Melissa. I wanted to give a hug first to Jepler for keeping on top of the Dublin Linux talk preparations. Hug to any data for testing out the PyPortal earlier today. Hug to Katani for quickly reviewing a PR they've been sitting for a couple of days and hugged everyone who had submitted a PR issue that needed my attention for and for having the patients to wait as they finished up the little FS project and group hug everyone else. Awesome. Thank you, Melissa. Next up I have notes for Mark Gambler. Mark says hug report to Jepler for looking at the native mod work I was experimenting with and hug report to Katani and Anbi for helping the learn system. And next up is Tammy makes things. Thanks. So I have hugs for FOMI guy and Tech Trick and also for Lady Aida. I forgot her on that list for helping me a ton with a bunch of those pull requests related to type annotations. It was very interesting to discover the limits of my understanding of something I thought I understood. Always an opportunity to learn and a group hug to everyone for being amazing. Thank you, Tammy. All right. Last up I've got notes from Tech Trick who says first hug report to FOMI guy Carter Dan H. Narodok and Katani in helping find a bug in Blinka's circuit python typing module quickly. Hug report to Katani and Iharata for helping me roll out the patch to the readmes and trusting me not to squash and rebase everything. Hug report to Gambler for help with explaining the review process. Hug report to Dan H for getting Blinka to work with the CI so we don't have to mock import circuit python typing or other libraries anymore. Hug report to Tammy makes things for the awesome typing PRs and for being patient with me being new to the review process. And lastly a group hug for everyone being so helpful and welcoming. Thank you all. That's it for hug reports. Let's keep on rolling right into status updates which is the sorry, I can't talk and take time because at the same time it just doesn't work. Status updates is also done as around Robin but this time we want to hear a little bit about what you've been working on in the past week and what you plan on working on in the coming week. It's a great way for folks to find ways or things to collaborate on and just give some tips or tricks if somebody's working on something that you've worked on in the past or may have looked at in the past. So this is a great way to see just kind of also the breadth of everything that's going on in circuit python land which is always amazing. So thank you all. I will start and then we'll go down the list of folks in the note stock. So first up last week I was wrapping up the work on the ESP32 S3. I have a PR out for GAT client support. I've got a PR out for the packet buffer test example so that's in the BLE library. And then I also did the updated or created a second broadcast net bridge broadcast net is this like collect sensor data from wirelessly from throughout your house over BLE and the bridge is the thing that listens to those BLE broadcasts and logs those to Adafruit IO. So I have a PR out to the broadcast net repo that does the bridge on a an ESP32 S3 instead of needing a full on Raspberry Pi like it used to be. And then on Friday I started looking into USB host on therapy 2040. I got the example code going. It works with a Microsoft mouse that I've got here. So that's a start and and this week I'm planning on bringing that USB example code into the tiny USB into tiny USB host stack and getting more familiar with both the example code and with tiny USB host stack and trying to get them collaborating and working together as a prerequisite to getting this all into certified on. So that's my week. I should also say that I'm out probably Thursday afternoon and then next week because it's a holiday Monday. I'll be off on Monday as well. All right. Next up is Tammy makes things. All right. Thank you. So last week I submitted a bunch of PRs for type annotations in the libraries. There's one that is still in flight. We're working on a question with that one. The others have been merged. I submitted a PR to add a command line option to the PICU command line utility to specify the boundary for serial connections. I started working on a circuit Python class that represents a deck of cards for a project that I'm working on and I'm trying to make it as generic as I can. So it might be able to be added to the community library bundle at some point. I want it to be able to shuffle cards, pick cards, and I want cards to know how to draw themselves on a display IO group. So I'm working on that. I did a bunch of configuration and set up stuff for my first electronics making stream on Twitch, which, oops, type of there, that should be Twitch, which I'm hoping will happen this evening, Arizona time. We'll see how that goes. This week I'm going to continue working on all of those things and I'm hoping my first Twitch stream will be tonight. The next week is in the note stock and I will probably not be here for the next meeting. I'm out of town Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and I'll be traveling Monday, so I probably will not be here. Okay. Feel free to drop notes for the meeting next week if you've got them and also when you go live on the stream, feel free to post your link on the live broadcast chat to let people know that you're doing that. Yeah, I think that's the place. Is it better or do we have a separate announcement channel as well? I don't know. I think live broadcast chat is usually what I do. Okay. Works for me. Thanks. Cool. Yeah, the announcement channel is only for admins. The chat will work just fine and can get people following your streams there. Next up is Dan. Okay, thanks. So, at the end of last week, I released 7.2.0 alpha dot 2 because it was kind of overdue for a release there were a bunch of accumulated changes. And as you read at the top, as Scott read at the top, there are a bunch of interesting things in there, probably most notably the board.stemma I2C, which is really handy. I started looking at Adafruit requests to modify it or to add some async possibilities to it or copy the code or structure or whatever, but use it as a starting point and I found some things that I wanted to fix in it partly because there's some stuff in there that simulates doing split and other things in CircuitPython 6. It's not really necessary anymore since we don't have to support CircuitPython 6 with that library anymore. So, I may eventually have a PR for Adafruit requests. I created a new library which is strictly for type annotation called Adafruit CircuitPython typing that's the CircuitPython typing module which right now is inside Blinka and it seems appropriate to me to move that out of Blinka because it's not always associated with Blinka and we can maintain it separately from Blinka. Blinka is not... All these additions of new types and type annotations don't have to go through Blinka. So, eventually I will try to get that working and change the few places where we need to add this as a dependency on a few libraries that do use CircuitPython typing right now. Finally, I fixed a bug, a time jumping bug on SAMD where somebody who checks the time all the time noticed that sometimes time.monototing that a second goes back or forward by three days, which isn't so great and that person hasn't reported back about whether it's been fixed but I hope that it has. Okay, that's it. Awesome, thank you Dan. Yeah, we almost invented time travel. Alright, next up is the Xiaomi guy. Alright, thanks Scott. So, this past week I got about half of the Winamp player that I've been working on for PyPortal. I got about half of the guide done and I did a bunch of commenting and documenting the code so that that's ready to get posted. I just need to wrap up the last couple of pages and I'm hoping to do that this afternoon. I started preliminary work on a project to pull data from this government web traffic API but ran into a hurdle because the server only sends data GZIPT even if you try to ask it for plain text it will respond to you with GZIPT data so it seems that browsers handle this automatically and so I didn't realize this until I got started on the microcontroller but I do have a couple more things to talk about that later in the weeds so I did start looking into the options for that and like I mentioned I'll talk a little more later but the other stuff I got up to was testing some tweaks inside of cookie cutter and then looking into the issue that arose from the circuit python typing that ended up in a fix inside Blinka and so that's what I've been up to. Thanks. Awesome, thank you filming guy. Next up is jepler. Hello, this ended up being kind of a long block of text even though it didn't feel like a lot so last week was another week of Floppies while doing that I successfully learned how to use the second core on RP2040 to enable streaming flux data to the computer in real time that's in the Arduino environment in fact most of this is in the Arduino environment so keep that in mind. I successfully wrote a D64 non-copy protected image to a floppy and booted it on a genuine Commodore SX64 which my friend told me is the portable version of the Commodore 64 and the first color portable computer and we put a video of it up on the Adafruit YouTube and the Adafruit blog I'll drop that link in just a second in the text chat. There is one weird MFM decoding bug that appeared with the new feature so I need to chase that down before we can think about merging the feature into Adafruit Floppy and as far as that relates to circuit python I'm still waiting for the repo the Arduino repo to settle down before adopting the latest to circuit python so if you want to try it you still have to try the older version from the pull request or build it yourself to try the few things with the floppy that does work in circuit python Last weekend I did finally do a few circuit python things I put in the second of a pair of PRs to add wrap and wrap target directives for PIO programs it can increase the performance of your PIO program in some extremely specific cases by removing the need for a jump instruction the PRs are both in but I haven't actually tested it on hardware so it should be considered experimental. My own use of PIO doesn't need it as urgently as I thought but I decided to finish the PRs anyway for the sake of completeness and I did close a couple of PRs of mine that weren't ready and that I had failed for weeks and weeks to get back to I would be happy to see anybody else interested in them take them up and finish them. This week my main goal is to merge micro python I think version 1.18 into circuit python. I don't think it has incompatible changes but if it does we will need to hold that until 8.0 so figuring that out will be kind of first on the list and then just getting an idea of the scope of how much work it is but I have some optimism that I can finish that this week. Awesome, thanks Jeff. I think you're right from my understanding of the latest micro python releases that it won't be too bad. My understanding is the next one will involve NPY version change which will need to do a major release for. Yeah, it sounds like there will be some really good benefits of that but for our users we'll have to hold it for 8.0 Yeah, I'm very excited about that. For those of you who haven't been following along, Damien is working on the ability to basically run NPY code from the NPY file which means that it won't take as much RAM as it does now which could be really cool. Okay, next up is Jerry. Hi again. So for all you RFM9x fans, I stumbled across at least a new to me library for the Raspberry Pi for RFM9x stuff. I'll link to it on there. In there they explained it's outgrows from other projects that have been around for a long time. But one of the nice things that handles interrupts pretty well and excuse me. And it does a much better job of working with Arduino pair, you know, if you pair it with an Arduino board I've had a lot of trouble with the circuit Python library when you when you're trying to do the reliable datagram mode and do the AC responses or catch the AC responses from an Arduino and this seems to do that a lot better. So there's still some quirks I'm running into with it but it's been fun and I'll be doing a lot more testing with that but it looks really promising fixes for the Pi side. Also I found a little bug typo in a recent update so I put it in a PR and I was really pleased to see that somebody's actively maintaining it because there hadn't been any action on the library in about 10 or 11 months but the PR immediately got accepted and implemented so it was good to see. And then if anyone does want to go use it if you install it via pip you get an older version they apparently haven't updated whatever it is to get it out there so you need to do a local install to get the latest versions which one nice feature is that the old version used to import NumPy which it didn't need but it did anyway and that's been fixed but one of the things I discovered in doing that was that if you have one of the libraries and you're sitting at the top level of it all you have to do is pip3install. And it installs your local version so if you make changes apparently that's the proper way of doing this with pip and who knew? Somebody should write this stuff down I never came across that before I'd always tried to use setup.py and do an install which I get all these nasty looking deprecation errors from and so it seems to be that's not the way to do it anymore but again, I made the last one to know that but it's really been nice and so I'll do much more testing on that this week and then there's a bunch of issues outstanding on the RFM9X stuff with these modem configurations that just make my head hurt when I try and test them but I'm keeping to trying to understand it and then I just started on a little trivial PR to the PN532 NFC reader library a discord user reported a problem when you tried to ever read failed trying to make it fail more nicely that's about it. Awesome, thank you Jerry. I think the switch to the pip3 install thing has come about from the Python packaging folks where there's a lot of different ways to package things now rather than just setup.py and then Dan points out there's the dash e so that it will do sim links instead of copying the files over oh and that way you can just edit the files and it will automatically use those again or use the edited version cool mindful. Thanks Jerry. Alright next up is Katny. Hello so last week I updated the 0.56 inch 7-segment backpack with the Stem AQT version we updated the board to have Stem AQT connectors and the guide is now updated I created the .star single LED status LED template I hadn't run into needing it yet so I hadn't generated it and has been running through a lot of board guides and putting all the templates in and obviously things like itsy bitsy and trinket have .star's only one and needed that template so I finally got around to doing that I updated the mcp4725 guide with the Stem AQT version I created a welcome to circuit python learn group it's a single link that goes to the foremost linked circuit python guides groups are something that has been in learn for a very long time but not very highlighted so it's something that learn dev is working on right now is making them more forward facing to users easier to find and making them more useful because they are super easy it is a very useful feature but we haven't been using it so there is going to be a page that you can go to that is like an explore page which will have groups on there that have a quick description and an image so you kind of can go and say I want a lightsaber project or whatever something like that and then it will be like here is all the light sword related projects and it's all in one place so it kind of usurps needing to search because search doesn't always return what you need so we are going to start putting more of those together I decided on doing only one further call for input this year this was discussed previously in my circuit python 2022 post and 2020 post I guess but I am going to do a call for input for circuit python day that's I believe August 19th this year so about a month ahead of time I think is about how long we did the one for this year for 2022 I will be putting out a call for input for folks who are interested in letting us know what they still want to see out of circuit python if there is anything new that sort of thing whatever comes to mind who knows where we will be by August as quickly as circuit python evolves so I am hoping that it inspires some new input I started on the ADXL 375 guide I wrote the ADXL 377x circuit python library and started updating the Vemmel 7700 guide with stem and QT version as well today so far finished and put the ADXL 375 guide into moderation and continued the Vemmel guide update this week which is actually hopefully this afternoon I am going to be adding an offsets functionality to the ADXL libraries starting with the 34x it is basically it is a manual calibration where you set it flat and you look at the numbers and you say okay it should be 0 it is 15 so you do a minus 15 for the offset and hopefully I can get that sorted out the rest of this week we will be finishing the Vemmel 7700 guide working on finishing the feather TFT guide including circuit python demos for the display there was a lot of feedback on that guide most of which was hey the one thing that people want to do is use this TFT and there is no example for it so we are going to fix that I say we I mean me I am going to do the Essentials template for async.io which goes along with all the other templates that have been going into the new board guides that is going to be a simple example pulled from the async.io guide and like I said will be included in every one of the board guides so folks will have a lot more exposure to async.io at that point which will be good and then once I am caught up on guides I still need to get some content up on circuitpython.org slash trademarks we do have the content it is in a very pretty PDF translating that to HTML is I could make it look pretty ugly and get all the content up there but it turns out Justin one of our developers has offered to help me make it pretty so I will have help there and hopefully it should at least have some resemblance to our fancy PDF when it is all said and done and in other news I should finally have some time to get back to the mailbox project this box of parts has been taunting me for a few weeks now and Jerry I hope to be pinging you this weekend or possibly this week with some help forgetting that going and that is what I have got awesome thank you catney next up we have Kmatch thanks Scott so this past week I updated the focal touch library it is a pastive touch panel library that currently as it existed handled screens with one touch point but I came into a touch panel and it has another chip that can monitor 10 touch points at the same time so I extended that library to also accommodate that chipset next thing is following up on some feedback I have gotten from gamblore and foamy guy suggesting how to consider handling touches using the core circuit python keypad module looking at that it looks to store interrupt pin timings but I am not quite sure how I can use that best to trigger a read of my touch panel since I needed the timing as well as some other data the position data pulled by I2C but suggestions are welcome on how I might do that or if that is bordering on interrupt handling maybe that is a core related issue but any suggestions feel free to send them along and follow those up related note on widgets for displays I created a circuit python org library for a vertical text scrolling box and I realized conflicts with foamy guy's recent horizontal scrolling box so I may need to reconsider that so feel free to give suggestions on that but the link is there and I got an ESP32 S3 board and I got REPL running on it so a lot of good work everybody is doing to make that so easy this coming week I am going to spend time more on trying to understand touch gestures and how to translate them into just points into some actions so between 1, 2, and 3 points just a few notes on how I am thinking about trying to handle it but first I need a way to visualize what is going on so I am actually looking at some of the other widgets and how to update them so I can plot some of the motion and velocity acceleration of the touch points so I can not just measure the data and put it in a spreadsheet and then deal with it later how do I just on the fly display it so just following the rabbit hole a little bit further and work on some other libraries in the process thanks awesome thank you K-Match it makes me the ice grid sea polling thing is something that has come up a lot I wonder if we actually need to think of a way of doing ice grid sea data buffering in the background sort of thing could fit into that as well okay next up is maker melissa hello last week I finally finished the little FS sporting project and integrated the whipper snapper firmware uploader so whipper snapper can now run on the ESP 8266 for anyone who has not been following along that was basically taking the little FS which was coded in C and converting it to native JavaScript at least enough of it to be able to create an image I fixed a weird issue on the 2.7 inch display in arduino where the colors got inverted if you use the reset pin so it wasn't working on the breakout but it worked fine on the shield I fixed an issue with the raspberry pi blink install script when the python command didn't exist that wasn't a common case but it apparently did happen for some people I tested a few PRs that were waiting for my review and I started adding some new boards at circuitpython.org that were missing so this week I'm gonna finish up adding those boards and then work on catching up on some more github issues and maybe work on some guide updates later and that's it awesome thank you melissa next up we have notes from mark gambler so I'll take a timecode and read those off mark says last week updated the native module code from micropython to work in circuitpython largely untested but will compile and didn't crash when I ran it discussed with foamy guy the need for an unzip type function that exists in xmod slash uzlib this week time is tight but I think putting a decompressed module like micropython in the shared binding slash module pattern is doable this is similar to what was started in PR 1274 first try will be just to get it going the old PR expanded on it I believe and lastly this week fixes the native PR module PR an example tests jebblers done I do not plan to take this code much further this time but if anyone has questions on it let me know I could also be convinced to look at it more if there's a lot of interest the first look was mostly to learn more about the that area of the code and to see if I if I could all right and lastly I have notes from tectric so tectric says last week learning the ropes of reviewing patch the issues with the split documentation sections in the readmes worked on some follow up PRs for the belee libraries fixes for the blink of circuit python typing library touching up the cookie cutter per cat knees recommendations and then this week taking some time to work on real life stuff but hopefully some odds and ends like bug fixes and library typing when there's time and with that we're into our last section in the weeds does anybody I know we're running a little bit later than we have been does anybody in the weeds need to go first I don't think I don't think Melissa or Jeff have time constraints I don't either have a couple topics in there but I don't have any time constraints already well I know some folks have to leave so in case somebody's about to leave remember that next week's on Tuesday it's 24 hours later than normal normal so just just a reminder to that before we get into some weeds and with that for me I go ahead and talk about your first your first item here right let me get scrolled down so this one comes out of something that I was looking at last week the web telescope data API that is this one is directly from NASA which is nice but it turns out that there is something going on with the SSL I think it is with that server I guess that's leading to us not being able to fetch data from it currently in circuit Python and I think it was anecdata so a late hard report to anecdata tested this out I think with the ESP IDF example code so like just using directly the ESP IDF and running it on I think an ESP32S2 and it seemed to work that way it was able to successfully you know mediate the SSL and get the data from there so I guess my question is like what all goes into updating the ESP IDF in the core and is that like a whole can of worms that causes a bunch of other problems or is that something that's relatively easy to try to tackle well it depends it depends on like what I tend to like to do is have us track a branch of the IDF that's not the main branch there's a lot of turn that happens in their main branch especially right now so we're on we're on the branch for their 4.4 release and so I would so it's easy to update along that release branch moving off that release branch to like their master branch is a whole other thing because they're currently working on 5.0 so they're making a lot of changes okay so my preference is that we stick kind of along their latest release branch I would say that if it's not fixed in the newest versions of that which they do pretty actively fix stuff in we should bug them about it and see if they'll back port the fix to their 4.4 branch okay cool I'll have to dig a little bit and figure out like which version it was specifically I did not end up looking into it but yeah I will check on that and then if it is the other one in that branch that we're not using we can look into it if there's not then I will do what you mentioned and ping them and see if they'd be willing to back port it into that branch for us the other thing we do occasionally have our own like we have our own version of the IDF branch in case we want to apply fixes to it so that's another option that we have Jeff is asking do we know what the problem is does it have to do with a missing certificate that is possible I don't know for sure I know the most elaborate error message that we've gotten to come out of it is just like SSL handshake error so that does sound like it could be a missing certificate to me I will say I don't have too much experience with SSL and HTTPS beyond just setting it up and making sure it works so some of the particulars are a little over my head is there oh yeah I don't if anybody could point me in the right direction to like how to try to test that or how to try adding a different certificate or something like that I'd be more than happy to try to do that but I don't know exactly how to go about it I would talk with Brent I think Brent is the person that if I need to know SSL certificate stuff I would talk with Brent okay because he's done a lot of that for all of the different IoT services that he's worked with yeah that would be ideal I guess if that turns out to be the issue if it's as easy as just updating a cert that's probably I would guess a whole lot easier and less likely to be a gigantic ordeal so yeah and I think we may actually have like we're using the certificate bundle that Nina uses as well which is the one that Brent has maintained for the IOT library stuff IOT library stuff I think okay so there's some possibility there maybe that gets it's updated possibly that resolves it for us I think the baseline for the certificate bundle comes from like I think Mozilla actually maintains like a bundle of root certs I think that's where it comes from plus any that we need to add I will mention it to Brent doesn't look like doesn't look like he's in the chat here but I'll ask Brent this week about that he should be responsive if he ping him I think he's around the other one I think that pretty much covers the first topic unless anybody has anything else to add but the second topic here is more along the lines of the GZIP utilities which I mentioned a little bit earlier quick rundown basically we have this other API which is also actually a U.S. government API interestingly enough but this one we are able to resolve the certs and everything we don't have that problem with this one but the data that we get back we try to parse the JSON that's in it and it doesn't work and it turns out the reason why is because the data is GZIP so the server always returns the data GZIP that didn't show it to you but so far our libraries like requests and like ESP32 spy and stuff like that and the Wi-Fi libraries in the core they don't do any of that automatic unzipping and so we have kind of I guess two paths forward that I see one of them is basically turning it on inside the core the ability to unzip or use zip I guess probably micro zip is the name there is a module from MicroPython that exists it's just not turned on in MicroPython somebody had started a PR at one point to do it but there were some additional changes that were requested and that person didn't end up I guess wanting to do it so it ended up getting a little stale but if we now have a specific need for it maybe now is the time to finish that up and then get it merged that way in which case then either user code or library code could make use of it so that's one option is kind of like turning it on in the core getting that PR resolved or starting a new one the other one is going with just pure Python inflation code which does exist there's an older library out there called Pyflate I think I mentioned before it needed to be updated because it hadn't been updated in quite a while it was using Python 2 code but that did get updated and we were able to successfully use it so that's kind of the other option is doing the inflating from pure Python code and then I will mention the one sort of follow up step beyond either of those doesn't really matter which one of those two we choose both of them will give us the ability to inflate gzip data and so then the next question becomes do we want to have requests or some other library that's in the stack try to automatically handle it I noticed on cpython requests I can fetch that same URL and it does seem to just silently do the unzipping so I figured it might be nice to match but I could also see a case to be made like adding extra stuff into requests and not everybody will need it so maybe it makes more sense to just say user code needs to fetch it and then unzip it manually rather than it just kind of magically happening when you do the request I think you probably wanted to behave the same but you needed to be careful and like I did some work to make sure that when we JSON decode stuff we don't have to load the entire giant string so like making sure that we can gzip kind of on demand not all at once that was I started kind of looking into that front really I started looking at it from the angle of trying to make requests give a better error when it came across gzip data and that was something I noticed is that there's something with read into it's basically like it looks like it's being able to parse the JSON in a buffered way without doing all of it at once and I did have some trouble trying to figure out how to like read the first couple of bytes and then I would from those decide if it's gzip data or not and then if it is raise that new error or if it isn't then just do the normal stuff but what I was finding is it seems like way that buffered loading occurs it almost seemed to me like it was one time as soon as I accessed the data the first time it didn't really want to let me access it anymore so I think it is I think it might be destructive I think the hurdle the only way I would know around that is storing it which it seemed not ideal since it would cause it to all the whole JSON to get loaded in memory so it's another kind of wrinkle is if we do want it to be automatic we'll have to figure out a way to kind of peak at the first couple of bytes without um losing access to the rest of them I don't think you need to do that I thought there was a header field that says that it's compressed so you know before you get to the body that it's going to be compressed yes I do think there is a header in this case yeah it returns the header content encoding with the value gzip which this is utterly broken because you it shouldn't send back gzip unless you say you will accept it and even if you say accept encoding identity which means it shouldn't compress it it still returns it compressed I think this website is broken personally I but I suspect the government will not look into it and fix it in any sort of timely manner I think that support could be really helpful especially for embedded because a lot of apis are giant text blobs and giant text blobs compress really well so like I think it's a worthwhile feature for us to have even if the reason that we have to add it is this broken website and it does look like I'm looking at the header it does come back with content encoding gzip so I don't think I've done it before but I assume that requests the request library must give us a way to access the headers so I could check that header and use that as the key to know um I think it just has dot headers because it's gotta load it to know whether it's chunked and stuff I will um I'll try that I think short term is just make requests try to throw a better error so that the next person that comes along it will get a clear message that the just needs to be unzipped and then I know Mark Gambler was going to look into that core PR we also have the follow up option if that doesn't pan out for any reason the Python code so is there any opinion on whether requests would handle it automatically to match the C Python I think it should because that's the way the regular request library we try to make it want to make it be like the regular request library yeah it should I would say it should if it can and if it can't it should do the nicer exception that you're talking about adding okay alright um I think that's all that goes into that unless anybody has anything more to add but that gives me the next couple of stones to try to hop to so I'll just say that UZlib has a stream API oh nice so that can maybe work sort of the same way that the JSON is doing its different stuff yeah nice yep well thank you thank you to looking into for looking into that it's like 12 what was it 12 something PR like it's pretty pretty awesome that it's something we wanted to do for a while yeah yeah and huge things as well I'll mention again to AnikData and AirDoc both both of whom I would not have been able to get even this far without so thank you to those folks as well cool alright um thank you filming guy next up is maker Melissa hello so one of the issues that we're running into is on certain boards like the matrix portal just the whole bundle of libraries that we need to add on to the board are really too large for it to run and so we suggested freezing in like the um portal based library for instance into there I noticed there's some other libraries that it are used on the matrix portal for instance uh like the request library that are supposedly in the frozen folder but they're also not accessible so I don't know how that exactly works they're in the frozen folder but they're not accessible right like if I want to import aid for request for instance so just because it's in the frozen folder doesn't mean it's enabled for a particular board okay you have to actually enable frozen libraries for a specific board so circuit playground express for example if you go into one of the um board files I don't remember which one it should be pretty obvious um there's like frozen libraries like are listed and they're enabled in that particular board so if you wanted to freeze requests for example into matrix portal you would have to actually go into the board file and set that yeah that's it right there so that's one thing uh now like bus device is frozen into there even though it's not specified so I don't know if that's like a certain one that's frozen into all boards we have a device now is native yeah ah okay that's what I didn't realize okay and you're doing this Melissa for memory savings is that your goal yeah okay so this is the thing that hopefully the newer version of MicroPython will fix for us okay cool um but in the meantime I think it's fine to freeze it in okay sounds good yeah with portal base we're using it on several different boards mm-hmm Melissa if you need help feel free to ask okay it's also not updated very often anymore so it seems I could candidate right uh that's it for me sweet thank you that was a a quick one uh right last up we have jet blur hello I think Scott this may be a you have opinions kind of question I don't I don't ever have opinions I don't know what you're talking about but uh with mark reviving the interest in the so-called native modules um which if you're not familiar with them um they are a way to include uh code compiled for the microcontroller in an mpy file and it's potentially more efficient anyway are there some boards where we want to consider enabling it I think it's possible that the rp2040 and expressive boards um given that they have a lot of RAM comparatively seem like good um candidates but um you know if we're gonna work on making this work and take pull requests about it we should enable it for some people you know for some boards where we think it could be helpful to people um so here's what I'll say I'm not against it but I think that there's a big hurdle that needs to be figured out before it's something that we actually support and it's the idea that native modules are port specific or at least CPU architecture specific yeah there would be two different forms there'd be one for the um expressive CPU boards and one for the ARM boards and maybe different ones for the ARM with and without hardware floating points so there are gonna be some variables there for sure right right yeah so I think I think we just need to make it very clear probably in both the file naming like the file naming needs to include like what architecture it's geared towards so that we can just be like oh yeah like you need a file that has this extension instead of just doing NPY right because NPY will work across architectures as long as it doesn't have native code um and then we should have really good error messages when people do try to or or have a the wrong architecture file there as well those are good points I hadn't thought about actually using the extension what I think MicroPython does is their convention is like say your module is um foo they will name the NPY file foo underscore x64.mpy where x64 is the common instruction set for desktop computers which was what I was testing mm-hmm and so you know it's in the name but it's not in the extension so we could potentially change that part of it I guess you know makes us do more work but it could be better for users I am pretty sure that when it's brought in you get a decent error message uh rather than just running code that is meaningless to the microcontroller that you have but I would have to double check on that yeah so that's my concern like I'm not against native modules I'm concerned about the maintenance burden of folks that are trying to use native modules that are for the wrong platform yeah so there may also be some tooling that we need to do around native like libraries that use native modules maybe we actually need to say like if it's generic it needs to actually like have a CI tooling that generates all the different combinations of architectures that it's yeah the CI tooling would be a whole new thing before we could ship like installable via circup modules so that would definitely be you know part of the whole solution yeah so I think how much of that we really feel we need to have in place before we would enable it in the you know my gut would be we can enable it in the core and then we don't even need to take advantage of it right away but we've enabled our advanced users to test it out and kick the tires we'll find out more of the details about it from them as we create the tooling the rest of the tooling around it right but at the same time like any conventions that you want to establish are easier to establish up front so like maybe it's maybe we should check file extension just to force it right like to check the file suffix just to make sure that it follows that convention sure would you be willing Scott to after the meeting just write up a few of those thoughts kind of a checklist for what we would do before we would enable it maybe on either Mark's pull request or mine that's related to this because otherwise I'd be tempted to just go enable it for Fetver RP 2040 you know for my own convenience in testing and just put it in the branch and then it would be there do we have do we have a native modules issue already I don't actually know if there's an issue mark and I were both working on separate pull request okay because I think I think an issue might be the right place to track these like higher level like goals yeah no that would be good too and then we could just link link to that issue from the PRs yes exactly let me make a note to myself on some paper that is on my desk I'm gonna have to go get lunch here shortly so I'm gonna do something today I need to note it down alright anybody else who wants to chime in about that I guess the other thing I will note about native modules before we move on is I don't think that there's a way to like efficiently work with a with our kind of shared module objects like you can't write a common howl call inside of a native module because they aren't available in the linkage between them so we might also in the future figure out here are the things that we're gonna add and make available from a native module that are in addition to what MicroPython has they basically don't have any of the machine interface stuff in there and I'm not sure you know you couldn't create an I squared C thing with I just think it doesn't work it's for compute stuff so it's great for being able to import Zlib which is one of the example modules but it's not great for I want to implement an I2C driver that needs to go in the core or operate in the background so it has limitation I think that's a really good point that could justify it like our bus IO and digital IO and microcontroller APIs are pretty damn stable so like I would be okay making those kind of public APIs in the sense that native modules can link against them if it means that for these folks like Kmatch that want to be able to do background background stuff for I2C maybe that's the way to do it Yeah as far as I understand it there's kind of two costs to adding these things and there is the you're committed to it cost and there's the you pay like the cost of one function pointer within flash for each thing that you expose and that cost is pretty minor at the scale of the RP2040s spy flash memory but the one where you're committed to it and also we might end up wanting to probably need two separate tables or something so that when MicroPython adds four more items they don't want a position where our first four items are otherwise it was a compatibility nightmare so we might need to do something else before we go adding to adding APIs that aren't in MicroPython Yeah I think it could be really interesting especially if that's our solution to the background story and maybe what we also need to do in the common how naming is actually call them like public common how like I know they're super long right now but your games are getting really long Scott I but but in this case I think it would be really nice for us to distinguish common how APIs that we think are private in the sense that native modules can't deal with them and then the ones that are public right like it is important to have that distinguish distinction just how much is public how yeah it could just be public how that would be fine but yeah having a if we expose or if or when we expose those things like just having a way to designate them as such yeah I think proving that we could do just pure compute native modules first is the way to go and then figuring out you know what is what is the good subset to expose of MicroPython specific hardware APIs would be a second thing that we could look at even you know version nine I don't we we don't have to get that right up front we can wait before we then do anything until late right right yeah I think you're right in that we should figure out what the baseline we want to do is and before we turn it on so that people can just experiment with it so I agree we do there all right well that that answers what I was looking for thank you all right well thanks for bringing that up Jeff and let's go to the meeting wrap up I will take one final time code first and foremost another reminder

I hate when people do this, but it's funny So nine out of ten Mike Wang when they buff shooting after he said he wouldn't touch it Look, he just went back into the office like guys I just told him I wasn't gonna do that. Why are you making me look like a tool I love this. Yo, this photo illustrates this so perfectly I can't think of a better way to craft this meme. It's not killing it in the funny department, but it's so accurate It just naturally has enough funny for me personally eight and a half out of ten when 2k fixes the sliders for shooting Yo guys, I found this photo, um in a vlog phantom did like a year and a half ago This was me. This is not editing guys. Look how wide I was. Hey down 110 pounds total now fellas I remember this though. This was a dope trick. The meme though is horrible three out of ten you after the Raptors game Oh, this is davis.

Oh I'm saying just just want to look real official iPod when I came through to rate your meme iPod You have let us down in more ways than we can count you feel me. Don't let me down to date the bar It's real low. You can't go lower than what you've been at You're the worst meme in 2k meme rating history And did we get a break last time because you didn't post a meme? Yeah, we did but we're back at it. Don't mess this up pot every playmaking shock crater in 2k 21 After the curry slide behind screens and here we have lamello Yo davis, I need your help for a video. I need your help for a video It's gonna take two seconds iPod send a meme. This is what it says every playmaking shock crater in 2k 21 after the curry slide behind screens And it's a photo of like 13 year old lamello. That's it. iPod them. What would you rate it if you had to? Oh Well, davis Yeah, no doubt appreciate you man. Oh, it didn't come from me this time. God Damn it. You can't send memes no more buddy You're not allowed Do you not care about anyone in the community? Do you not see what you're putting everybody through every time you send a meme negative 13 out of 10? That would be it verified the worst rating in the history of this show I don't want to do this video no more. It's killed my vibe Uh, and I don't know if there's a meme that's gonna save me trying to explain I'll be back. I need to take a break Sorry about the delay fellas. Just in case I catch iPod in and around these streets Guy be willing to take the shot. You feel me? Uh, because I've had just about enough iPod king carter I think we all have feel me. It's time this ends now. Don't worry. These are training arrows. They will just tickle him They won't do any harm. All right. We have a meme here me trying to explain how I went 0 for 9 Hey my Guys that was before now. I have good vocab back then I wasn't doing a good job of communicating my uh My feelings and stuff like that. I give this meme quality solid E 7 out of 10 2k after releasing a bad game and still making millions. Ah, let me do a typo for you Hold on. I got you right there, buddy. Oh right here. I got you. I got you buddy Oh, let me just make that adjustment billions now. It says billions guys because they make billions every year That's kind of crazy, isn't it and we still have bad servers I did it Link in the description fellas. Hey, that's good quality I almost want to put a hole in my door. I was so close to doing it guys, but the camera's not even oh, it is recording it Oh, wow. Okay. Uh, okay. I have to resist the urge now. Oh my god Hey 2k after releasing a bad game still making billions. We did it. Ah Solid seven out of 10 when my point guard thinks he's ticino and does a 360 spin hop step tap the tip From 1 for 16 I'm gonna kill your parents Wow Okay, hey, how come I keep seeing this guy on the internet? Who is he god damn it does he work for comedy central or some Why is he that funny all the time? That's accurate. Is it accurate? Yes, it is. I just said it was pay attention Yep, is it funny kind of a little bit funny solid not even solid a little above solid is better than average But it's not great. It's just good. It's just a bit 8 out of 10 toasted uh 2k fixing gameplay problems versus 2k fixing vc glitches Yeah, is it the first funny meme toasted ever said toasted who'd you take this from buddy? This is gonna be the best rating you've ever gotten man But this is the 8 out of 10 me after my opponent hit this toasted again Me after my opponent hits a full white for the 10th time in a row Yo toasted who are you stealing from bro? It's not you buddy. It's another 7 and a half out of 10 Hey, if I get a 10 out of 10, I'm putting a hole in the wall. All right Oh, this Joe knows play shots after hitting their ninth white fade away in a row Hey, that's solid is not great, but it's just not average. It's not bad. It's not great It's just solid. You know what solid means get let me get that 7 out of 10 me when a non-shooting build makes a full white This might be the one guys. I might have to get ready to shoot the door. No, no Say you swear to This is good. It's just so quality. That's a nine out of 10 when an interior finisher gets his post scoring takeover Run through somebody's face.

UCrM4z9DzdvD3bnA5E7tDtKQ	Vermont State House - Artificial Intelligence and Automated Decision Systems 4/23/2021		null	2021-05-04T15:57:00	2024-02-05T06:09:32	2,821	pCTBslRM4Bg	Great. Thank you, Matthew. And good afternoon, everyone. I'm Tim Brigham, the chair of the House Energy and Technology Committee. It is Friday, April 23. This is our one o'clock hearing. And we've got a few things that we're covering this afternoon. The first portion of our testimony, we have two representatives from organizations that represent different folks in state government around the country. First we have Pam Greenberg, who is here from the, from NCSL. And what we're going to be talking about initially in this hearing is some of the artificial intelligence and automated decision system legislation that is going on in other parts of the country. And this is as we move forward and are working on a couple of different AI and automated decision system pieces of legislation in our committee. And so first I want to introduce Pam Greenberg from NCSL. Pam, thank you for being here and, you know, giving us some visibility on some of the things that might be going on in other state legislatures. So welcome. Thank you for having me. I'll try and make sure I can share. Can I share my screen here? I'm getting a message here. If you have co-hosting ability, you can share your screen. I don't know if we can give, yeah, there we go. So I think you can do it now, Pam. That's one moment here. Yep, take your time. Yep, and we can see it now. Let's come up. Great. Confirming that. Yeah. Well, again, thank you for having me here today. Chairman Briglin and members of the committee. And again, my name is Pam Greenberg and I work in NCSL's Center for legislative strengthening in Denver, and I cover a wide variety of issues mostly related to technology and privacy issues. So, you know, very quickly, I think I wanted to mention some of the services that NCSL provides. We serve our all 7,883 legislators and more than 25,000 legislative staff. And we provide nonpartisan policy research. We link legislators with each other and with experts. We have a training and meetings of course for our members, our DC office staff represent or speak on behalf of states before Congress. And when representative Rogers first contacted me about what other state legislatures are doing related to artificial intelligence and ethics issues. I thought about this cartoon and doesn't this express how we sometimes think about AI. So for me, especially on the right, will AI cure cancer or will it take over the world. So like all issues. It's not black and white, and it's never easy dealing with technology issues which change so quickly. But today, I'll start with a couple of quick definitions. I'm going to talk about artificial intelligence as the development of computer systems to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence. And then machine learning is branch of AI focused on building applications that learn from data in order to improve their accuracy over time. And then I thought I would just start with a quick view of how new AI legislation is in state legislatures in 2010 there were no bills that use the exact phrases artificial intelligence or machine learning. And it's still not a huge number in 2021. This has been obviously a steady increase over the past 10 years. And it's the same in Congress. It's not a direct Congress comparison in terms of mentions in bills, but mentions in the congressional record were zero in 2009, and then up to 129 in 2020. So it looks like this issue is on a path of continued growth here. So focus just on sort of broad brush, big picture AI legislation in states and not on the many other types of AI legislation that relate to the implementation of specific technologies such as autonomous cars where we've seen lots of legislation or facial recognition again we've seen lots of legislation in those areas and I'm not focusing on those today. There's one exception being Illinois. I'm going to talk about that last and tell you a little bit more about why I'll include that one. But again, big picture. So, I've categorized here, the most common types of state enacted AI legislation that we've seen in the past several years. We've seen legislative legislation creating commissions or task forces that focused on government use of AI and then finally funding or incentives for research on artificial intelligence. We've seen just seven states with legislatively created commissions, a few others created by executive order, but not very many. We've also, so we've seen. As I said Washington and Vermont, the earliest to created by legislatures study commissions studies. And then this also includes what some states are called future of workforce task forces that address AI so those are in California and New York and Alabama. And, and Washington as well, and then Utah's deep technology talent advisory council which was created just in 2020. A couple of states focused on how state government uses AI as I said, a resolution in Delaware asks state government to consider use the adverse effects of artificial intelligence, and then Texas. passed a law requiring state agencies to consider using next generation technologies including artificial intelligence. And then we've got Utah and California that have set up programs or provided funding for AI research in higher education. And then just a couple of other bills I'll mention in passing Mississippi enacted a law this year requiring the states, hey through 12 computer science curriculum to include instruction in robotics AI machine learning. And then California in 2019 passed a law requiring requiring reporting of any net job loss or replacement due to the use of automation AI or other technologies and that's an unlimited circumstances. That's required. And then I wanted to, since we talked about your interest in a code of ethics. I thought I would go into a little more detail about California is 2018 resolution. ACR 215. It expresses support for the ass along our AI principles, and the principles were included in full in the resolution. I'm not going to go into them in detail but they fall. They, they were created when a group of AI researchers economists legal scholars ethicists philosophers met in some ass along our not sure if I'm even pronouncing that correctly. California to discuss principles for managing the responsible development of AI. And the result of that collaboration were these 23 principles. They fall into sort of three main areas research ethics, and longer term issues. So under research, they state that AI research should have a goal not of undirected intelligence but beneficial. Funding for AI should be accompanied by funding for research on ensuring its beneficial use. There should be a science policy link. So constructive and healthy collaboration and exchange between AI researchers and policy makers. And then under ethics and values, AI should be safe and secure throughout its operational lifetime and verifiably so. AI should be transparent. For example when used in judicial decision making, it should be auditable by a competent human authority. Under privacy, it states that people should have the right to access management and control the data they generate, given AI systems power to analyze and utilize that data. The principles also as I said address longer term issues for example. There's existential risks posed by AI must be subject to planning and mitigation efforts, commensurate with their expected impact. So, as I mentioned, I'm going to talk about lastly about Illinois and their artificial intelligence video interview act. Unlike the more general kinds of laws that we've discussed that I've mentioned so far, it addresses the use of a specific AI technology video interview software that uses AI. It is the only state with a law like this, and it's received a fair amount of attention so I did want to, to include it here. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that with artificial intelligence videos interviews I've, I was not, but it's a it's a one sided interview where a job candidate records answers to various questions on a computer. And then the software analyzes the characteristics including the language they use their speech. And then sometimes at least in early iterations of this software and controversially, their facial expressions and then it would provide an assessment of that applicants suitability for a job. And a measure of certain traits like dependability emotional intelligence and cognitive ability. So, if that can be measured by AI, and then after that screening tool was used it would, the applicant would perhaps would not move on to human interview. So, Illinois set up disclosure and privacy requirements around this software. And again, I think this was just to be a brief presentation and so this is the the end of what I was going to cover today but I'm happy to answer to try to answer questions or now or at any point. Pam, this is Tim Briglin. I'm just curious that the Illinois piece of legislation. That has been an introduced bill it's not something that's been enacted, I'm presuming it has been an active. It has been an active. Okay, and it also looks like that was very specific to a particular type of use of AI. It wasn't necessarily broad in its implication but clearly someone had focused on, I guess a concern about that particular application. Correct. And, you know, I just wanted to mention that NCSL has quite a lot, quite a few resources on autonomous cars are energy and transportation program can speak with you extensively about that we had a special project on autonomous cars, connected and then in terms of facial recognition. That's the other area where we're seeing lots and lots of legislative activity. That's as a form of AI and so we're looking at a number of bills that relate to law enforcement and AI and government use of AI those kinds of things so you know I just, we wanted to focus broadly here, but again, if you have questions at some point about other areas we're happy to respond to those. Yeah. Pam, do you mind taking the presentation off the screen and then we can see other members. Yeah, no that's fine. And I've got a couple more questions but we've got one hand up. Representative Sims. This is so helpful to get a window into what other states are thinking about and very interesting that data about just numbers of bills and mentions it certainly feels like this is an emerging area with with lots of focus, and then you may not be able to answer but do you have a sense of kind of what's on the table right now or like next year, a sense of, you know, you give us a window into what's passed already and some other states but what do you see as the cutting edge leading edge of next steps. You mentioned facial recognition as a piece of that but if you were to forecast what what's coming down the pike that we should be thinking about right now. Yeah that's a great question. You know I think that. I think we're seeing seeing more states that are trying to look at how government is using AI and maybe quick, look at possible standards for that guidelines for that. So that's one area. We are tracking legislation this year. There's only been I think one bill passed so far. It's similar to what we're seeing out there is similar to the bills in those three categories that I mentioned. So fun, you know funding there's also funding being provided for programs that may not specifically mention artificial intelligence but their emerging technology programs of research and higher ed, and their appropriations that are going toward those as well. So, you know, I'm, I think, other than the connected cars and facial recognition. Facial recognition just really exploded this past year or two. So, that's probably the number one area of a specific technology but otherwise, I think we're seeing, you know, increased look at, you know, how can you set up guidelines of principles for government use. Pam, a follow up question I had and I'm just also interested in what other state legislatures are doing. Even though this committee is called the energy and technology committee, really the purview of technology is quite narrow. It's simply technology as it's used within state government. That's really our purview. And I'm interested in where the legislative activity is in other state legislatures because you mentioned some education aspects of how other states might be approaching this. There's clearly a commercial aspect and people are looking at this as a, you know, an economic an area for potential economic growth, as well as concerns about job issues and how, you know, labor might be constrained by additional issues. And clearly there's privacy concerns, which probably fall more in the civil liberties kind of judiciary committee world. I would anticipate that our committee is going to take the lead on this but there are clearly areas in the education world in the commerce committee world in the judiciary world there might even be others that I'm not thinking of. Where is the action on this and other state legislatures. We've seen, for example, Alabama. Their commission on AI has done a lot of focus on the economy and and the potential for growth with AI and so you know that along with incentives to companies or programs. Encouraging use of AI will see, again, I think, you know, responsible use of AI in government. We'll see we're seeing I'm sure Amy can address this much better than I can. But we'll see much more use within of AI within state government. Well, I'm also thinking of our vice chair of this committee was on the ethics committee maybe there's a place for the ethics committee to be taking into this as well but I'm saying that tongue in cheek but clearly there's an ethics element to this as well. A couple of a couple of hands up and then we'll bring Amy into the conversation. Representative Rogers and then representative in touch. Thank you and thanks for coming in today. With with full recognition that this may sound like complement searching. I recognize that Washington and Vermont were kind of first here with with having bills and I guess I'm curious if have you had other states reaching out to you where an interested in what Vermont is doing or just maybe looking for a compliment but also genuinely curious to see how kind of the state actions all interact with each other. Thank you for the question I, I have, I have received a number of information request from other states about the issue. And fortunately, I have been able to send the Vermont's report report. And I have to say, you know, I really appreciate that that kind of great information is documented, and available to share with others because many times commissions meet and it's very difficult to find what the even the results of the, the meetings and the commission. Guides were so. Yes, Vermont is definitely a state that I see as a leader in this area and that I share information with others. Mike. So, King of what chair Briegel said I think that that makes a good argument for why we should have an artificial intelligence commission, because they can look into all these diverse aspects of artificial intelligence and then recommend things that I recommend legislation that could go to whatever committee is appropriate for what they're trying to do, or what they're trying to propose so just comment. Yep. Thanks Mike. Amy, why don't we turn to you now. Thank you for being here and I don't want to butcher the acronym for your organization believe it's the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. That's right. Excellent. Well, thank you for being with us and giving us a perspective on how this is being looked at, you know, amongst the technology experts and state government across the country. Yeah, absolutely. I just want to thank chair Brickland ranking member Sherman and members of the committee. Good afternoon. Thank you for having me today. I'm Amy glass cock the senior policy analyst for the National Association of State Chief Information Officers or NASA. Founded in 1969, NASA represents state chief information officers and information technology executives and managers from the states territories in the District of Columbia. NASA does not take positions on specific state legislation but today I'm happy to provide the committee with some background on the use of artificial intelligence in state government. So first a definition. This is artificial intelligence as an umbrella term for technologies like machine learning natural language processing robotic process automation chatbots and digital assistance. Nassio really started asking our members about how they view AI in the last three to four years each year Nassio surveys are CIO members to gain insight on their top initiatives views and challenges on a range of topics. Starting in 2017 we asked state CIOs what they thought would be the most impactful emerging it area in the next three to five years and 2017 only 29% chose AI by 2020 that percentage had more than doubled and jumped to 61%. In our first publication on this topic in 2018, we acknowledge that AI was relatively new for state governments, but that it held much potential. Just a couple of states were using chatbots or digital assistance. There were a few examples of states using AI for traffic management and a handful of other small cases. We laid out definitions of AI, how AI could be used to relieve, split up, augment or replace the work that humans do, shared some ideas for best practices and put forth what some of the implications and challenges would be for state CIOs. The computer wants to reboot right now so let's hope that doesn't happen. In 2019 Nassio partnered with strategic partners IBM and the Center for Digital Government to conduct a survey of state CIOs on their usage of AI. At that point only 14% of states reported that they were currently using artificial intelligence with an additional 19% piloting projects. A majority of state CIOs in 2019 reported that they were still looking for the right business case for AI. Keep in mind this was less than two years ago. Then 2020 arrived, as did the COVID-19 pandemic. Suddenly CIOs had found the right business case for AI. With unemployment offices slammed with calls and citizens looking for information on COVID-19 restrictions or testing sites, state government started rolling out chatbots for the first time. Nassio published a report on this in the summer of 2020, which I've included in my materials today. By June of 2020, three quarters of states were using a chatbot on a state website. Most of those were either for unemployment insurance inquiries or general COVID-19 questions. Most of these chatbots were the first the state had ever used and most of them were rolled out in a matter of days. This was a perfect storm of two factors. One, the chatbot technology had matured to a level where states felt comfortable using it, and two, the pandemic created a strong business case and a need for the technology. Nassio partnered on two more publications that were released that fall. One was a follow-up with IBM and the Center for Digital Government interviewing CIOs about how the pandemic had changed their views on AI. The other was in partnership with EY, studying the governance of emerging technologies. I've also shared these with the committee. We have gathered a lot of data and statistics on this topic since 2018, so I'm going to give you just a brief overview of the themes that we've seen throughout these publications and our research, as well as an idea of how quickly things have changed over the last year and what may be ahead for the future. The first point I want to make that we've heard over and over again is that CIOs are rightfully cautious about using new AI technologies. The common sentiment is that you don't want to go looking for a problem because you have a fancy new technology you want to try out. Wait for the problem and then look for the best tool. As when CIO said, implementing technology should be about solving a business problem and meeting a need. It's very easy for us in IT to become enamored with a shiny new toy, but if it doesn't provide a better service or make somebody's life easier, it's very likely not worth doing. Of course, several challenges in adopting AI and state government. The top challenge, according to state CIOs, is legacy IT infrastructure. It's challenging to apply new AI technology to a legacy system. Many state applications are run on cobalt and other decades old computer language. It can be really hard to find employees that still know how to write that code and integrate it with new AI technologies at the same time. Another challenge is cultural concerns inside the organization. Employees fear that AI will eliminate their jobs or make them irrelevant. The truth is that state governments everywhere are actually seeing a trend of more available jobs than job applicants. AI can be a tool to actually bridge this gap rather than a threat to employees. That said workforce resistance to change is real. Another hurdle is the lack of necessary staff skills for AI. Many states will be looking to the private sector for AI expertise if they can't recruit the skilled workforce needed on unlimited state budgets. So while the pandemic did not eliminate these challenges, the surge in successful chatbot deployment did provide an opportunity for states to look at other areas of AI adoption in the near future. NACIO advocates for a handful of best practices for states looking to embark on greater adoption of AI. I'll share four of those now. One, develop an AI roadmap. Putting AI into your overall technology governance plan can mean the difference between an ad hoc approach full of unexpected problems and a well-designed project. In our 2020 emerging technology governance survey with EY, only 21% of states reported that they have a formal governance structure for emerging technologies. Two, CIO should be prepared to talk about disruption to the workforce, address employee fears and use their role as change managers to think ahead to how these technologies will alter, change, disrupt or improve the work that people do on a daily basis. Three, CIO should be involved in the procurement process for AI technologies to ensure they fit within the roadmap and conform to security and privacy requirements necessary for safely using these tools. This also helps to streamline the purchasing solutions for multiple agencies. And four, CIOs should consider running pilot projects to try out new technologies before launching them for broader uses. CIO offices may allocate a small percentage of the chargeback budget to an innovation fund for emerging technology or seek a general fund appropriation to create a grant funding model where agencies can apply for assistance to AI pilots without financial risk. The chatbot search of 2020 was a huge leap forward for states and how they view AI. States are now looking at other ways they may be able to leverage AI in the near future. Here are some examples from five states. Massachusetts is piloting a program using AI to help citizens complete public assistance forms accurately and more quickly. Massachusetts is also looking to AI to assist with cybersecurity efforts using digital intelligence to help staff members sort through network log data to separate actual threats from false positives. Georgia completed a robotic process automation pilot project for agencies to streamline new employee background checks and onboarding procedures. The governor of California last year ordered a request for information to investigate how machine learning might help officials better understand the spread of wildfires and assist fire risks. Texas IT officials plan to look at how AI and machine learning could enhance staff efficiency, optimizing costs and promoting innovation as well as improve the citizen experience, expedite service delivery and ensure citizens receive accurate responses to inquiries. And finally, Utah is looking at how these technologies can help the agriculture department use an AI embedded image recognition application to identify brands tattooed on stray livestock to return them to their owner. In closing, I would just like to restate that unlike at the beginning of 2020 here in April of 2021 state technology leaders have become comfortable with low hanging fruit AI technology like chatbots and digital assistance. Many are developing pilot projects to investigate other uses for AI and robotic process automation. That said, AI and state government is still new, and most states have a long way to go when it comes to the governance of AI. But while challenges remain the business case for AI crystallized in 2020 and interns CIOs appear more committed than ever to the technology. Thank you and I look forward to any questions. Great. Thank you, Amy. There are a few hands up and I've got a couple of questions as well. But let's go to representative chase and then representative and touch it. Thank you. I was wondering if you had any information or if you could speak for a minute about the, the customer satisfaction element with all of these rollouts. So content and well served has the public been a with this technology and be with the rapid deployment thereof. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably hard to measure because I think, you know, especially when it comes to, I think we're kind of talking like the chatbot rollouts of 2020. So when it comes to the unemployment insurance, people were just so frustrated. So, and at the same time, as CIOs have seen that citizens are expecting that kind of instant service that they would be able to get with Amazon or target or, you know, Delta airlines and so it definitely it definitely was a huge help and it was a boom to the call centers. And it allowed them not to have to go find more employees at the last minute, like, like I said, like some of these were were rolled out in days. And I don't have like specific metrics from states on, you know, satisfaction as far as that goes that probably again was a lot of frustration but it definitely was a big help on the side of state governments. Thank you. Mike. I have a question to whether any surveys done as far as how people perceive the chat box. But you answered that so let me go on to. Is there any, were there any extensions of chat box to say track. Back taxpayers who were having problems and couldn't get them resolved. And, you know, escalating them to for a higher response. When we did this sort of survey of chat box last summer, we didn't see any for that, but that doesn't mean that they haven't sort of spread out to other state websites in that way because I know some states were kind of rolling out more but we haven't done another survey of them. Okay, thank you. Representative Sebelia and then representative Rogers. Oh, sorry, thanks. I have a question. I don't know if this is for you or Pam actually but thinking about thinking about the best means of approaching. Since we're kind of towards the head of the pack here, thinking about or so far, thinking about how to approach regulatory framework here for AI. Is it helpful to do we have a sense of it's helpful to look at like computerization and electrification, or, you know, if these kind of industrial revolutions are. I mean, is it helpful to kind of compare those and how things evolved and am I making sense here to. Yeah, that makes sense to me and I don't have an answer for that so maybe Pam, speak to regulatory framework. Yeah, I mean I don't have an answer for that either. It's a great question. But, you know, we talk about principles when you're working with new technologies and regulating new technologies being, you know, we keep in mind that how quickly things change and not to sort of stifle innovation through over regulation but also, you know, recognizing that maybe broader language is better than more specific, you know, things aimed at current technologies because we don't know where this is going so much as new about artificial intelligence. That's absolutely true. We talk about that with even the procurement process. Sometimes it can take so long and state government that the technology that you had been trying to procure is outdated by the time you get to that actually being able to get it in your in your hands so I just wonder if the. I wonder if there are any kind of breadcrumbs from those, you know, from adapting to those kind of industries that we can follow. That's just something I'm thinking about. I'd be happy to see if I can find any information on that. Yeah. Representative Rogers. Thanks. I thought this. Thank you for the whole testimony the specific examples of where states are a few states are heading was helpful. I was wondering if you know in these states that are rolling out different models of AI such as you know supporting people signing up for public assistance. Where is the accountability or responsibility. If something goes wrong, if someone, you know, incorrectly gets public assistance and now they have to pay it back but the AI told them they were eligible. If a fire is missed and somebody dies is that is it specified in these states. Who holds responsibility when the AI makes a mistake. That's, that's a good question. And I, you know, I don't know if it is specified in every case, but we do talk about the importance of, you know, not just letting the AI run wild. You are constantly training it and even once it gets to a more sophisticated level where you can kind of trust the outcomes a little bit better. You still need human involvement to keep checking it and making sure it's, you know, not learning things that are false. Also making sure that you have good data that's being fed into the AI. And that old cliche, you know, garbage and garbage out so a lot. There still has to be a lot of human involvement to ensure that those kind of mistakes don't happen and then if there are, you know, huge consequences consequences like life or death. You want to evaluate your risk when thinking about deploying an AI and make sure that that what you're using is sophisticated enough or that you're able to take on the kind of risk for that the outcomes that are possible. That's a helpful way of thinking about it. Thank you. Yeah. And do you do you or does your organization have an opinion of where the responsibility should fall if it should be with, you know, assuming this is AI within state government should it be whichever department or agency and state government is using the AI is where where ultimate responsibility falls if things go wrong or I was just curious if that's something. That is not something that we have taken a position on. Okay, has it come up in your conversation. It has it. No, but that's that's interesting and I'm sure it will. Yep. Thank you. Oh, another question. Just, just thought I was just curious, if you would say a little bit more about workforce disruption you had put that as kind of one of your directions and I just, if you could give a little bit more direction as to what you would be looking for from states in that area. Yeah, sure. Um, so, you know, I think a lot of it, the sort of pushback that that we're getting the CIOs would be getting from their staff the workforce is like, you know, but I've been doing data entry for 20 years like a robot's going to come in and take a job but what we've actually seen in the input that we've gotten from CIOs that have done some of these projects is that, you know, the idea is that you have AI to free up some of this mundane back office work and use the humans for the work that you still need the human brains to do and and the result often ends up being more rewarding for the employee and a lot of stuff that is like paperwork that people are spending a lot of time on let's say you have a social worker for instance and they spend a lot of time on paperwork. If you can free up some of that time so that they can actually be interacting with families instead of filling out paperwork or doing data entry that's really useful. In addition, I briefly mentioned that, you know, there's there's a workforce problem in state government, especially in the technology world, you are competing with the private sector, you can't compete with those salaries so if you have a way to get some of that work done without trying to go and hire more humans because you can't hire them anyway. It can be really useful. The National Association of State Chief Administrators did a work for a survey a couple of years ago and found that while the number of jobs was increasing and the number of applicants was decreasing at the same time so that's a big problem with cybersecurity staff. Getting people that are experts in cybersecurity to come work for state government is tricky. So if you can apply AI to cybersecurity and threat detection, it can be really valuable. And that is is one top way that state CIOs see AI being able to be used in the future. So Amy something that was interested in hearing your testimony, and I will use this to get to my question that's related to AI, but about four or five years ago Vermont changed how essentially the management structure is to how technology is in state government. It used to be that every silo of state government had their own technology staff. And I can't remember was 2000, I think it was 2017 we consolidated that into one particular agency, the agency of digital services that basically is an umbrella agency that manages technology across state government and then has individual or multiple folks from ADS that are assigned to different parts of state government, but it essentially feeds up into what essentially is a chief technology officer for the state. And I'm not sure how common that management structure is across across the country whether we're catching up or whether states are moving to that model right now, but it kind of relates to my question of, what are some of these questions are best kind of answered and managed in state government, and clearly are, you know, CTOs and CIOs are, you know, the chief in government experts on technology, and yet a lot of the questions that are related to this type of technology really AI are really beyond maybe the grasp of a CIO or a CTO they might be very specific to the department or agency in which they're deployed, or they may have to do with issues related to civil liberties or privacy or other things, which, you know, we kind of hope that our technology officers are expert in but maybe they're not at all. And so generally my question is, you know, if you have thoughts on, you know, to the extent some of these questions we're wrestling with around AI are best managed within a, you know, a CTO is organization. We're talking about a commission here, which would have a much broader scope of capabilities within it to deal with these issues but you know is there anything that CIOs are thinking about across the country is to you know where to where to actually wrestle with these issues and questions. Yeah. Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts about that. So one thing that we've seen. Well first I'll talk about the consolidation. That's definitely a trend that's been happening in state government. It may be like 20 years or so more more common the last 10. So, yeah, Vermont's like right on track there. We find it really useful to have that structure, generally, from NACIO. And we've also seen that the CIO role has changed over the last 10, 15, 20 years. So where a CIO or, you know, CTO, that role used to be kind of a provider of technology services. So you have an agency that has a need and the CIO's office provides them with a solution for that they have a lot of in house expertise and solutions and programs. What we've seen happening is the CIO changing from that to become more of a broker of services and really going out to those vendor relationships that they have created and finding the right kind of a private sector solution for agencies and having a good idea of, you know, the best solution for an agency's problem or issue or, you know, also maybe purchasing something that five different agencies can use. And that seems to work really well too. Again, there's that workforce shortage issue so you have less people that can create things from scratch. It doesn't always make the most sense, time-wise, staff time-wise, you know, when there's a really good solution out there that you can purchase from a vendor. So when it does come to those tough questions that maybe the CIO doesn't know how to answer from a technology perspective or it's outside their area of expertise, like, we see that as okay. You know, they have developed relationships with others that can help them answer those questions and get the agencies what they need. So that's kind of how things are going around the country. Great. Well, thank you, Amy and Pam. I don't see any other hands up in the queue. And Amy, I think you had mentioned some information that was that you had submitted. It's posted to our website. Pam's presentation is also presented to, is also posted on our website. So I really appreciate that's great information for us to be able to refer to and follow up on. So appreciate that as well. Thank you very much. If there aren't any other questions, really appreciate your time this afternoon and being with us. We're going to continue on on another topic now. And you're welcome to listen to some energy regulatory cleanup bill work that we're doing. Or if you have better things to do, you're welcome not to listen to that as well. Thanks for being here. Thanks for the invitation and electric utility regulatory stuff was a past life so I think I will enjoy the rest of my day. I bet there's life after energy regulatory work. Yes. Thank you. All right, take care. I was going to say, Tim, does that count for us too? Yeah, exactly.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCTBslRM4Bg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Right, so that is hundreds and hundreds of hours that you're going to be spending asleep. Now, if you don't lose a dream and if you don't utilize those hours, they're just going to go to waste. Obviously, you'll be sleeping and rejuvenating yourself, you know, physically, but you'll be missing out on all of these adventures and sort of experiences that you could be having if you just thought, okay, I'm going to use these hours to learn how to lose a dream and control what you experience instead of just sleeping. Because, you know, everyone sleeps, right? I've spoken in other videos about how you can use lucid dreaming to practice skills in a lucid dream and then get an edge over your competitors, you know, by getting these extra hours in, you can practice things that you, you know, your peers or whoever else won't be able to do because they don't lose a dream. Say if you're a martial artist and you're competing in a competition, you, by practicing the skills in a lucid dream, you'll get an edge over your competitors who are only practicing in the gym. Now, obviously, you've got to practice in both scenarios, right? You've got to practice in the gym and in lucid dream in order to get the benefits. But that doesn't mean to say that you shouldn't practice in a lucid dream because you can gain a lot of hours over the, over your competitors and over the people who aren't doing that. So the way you get started with this and the way you sort of start utilizing the time that most people would just waste is you just set yourself a really, really small goal. I found that with goal setting and with, you know, if you want to achieve something, the best thing to do is just to set yourself a tiny, tiny, tiny goal and then commit to doing that every single day, whether it's, you know, doing two minutes of meditating or, you know, go to the gym and do one set of exercises because the chances are that once you're at the gym, you'll do more because you've spent the effort to get there. The hardest part is actually going there and, you know, getting started as with anything, the hardest part is the first step. So commit to really small exercises or techniques or things that you can do every day. Like commit to writing one sentence down in your dream journal every morning, one sentence or commit to doing two reality checks a day or two minutes of meditation a day. And once you've done that for a month or so, you know, once you've done that every single day for a month, you will have built the habit and then you'll be able to build on it. You'll be able to say, right, now today I'm going to do 10 minutes or, you know, 20 minutes or I'm going to do 10 reality checks and you get to the point where suddenly you've changed your habits and you've changed who you are. So it really just starts with those really tiny things, those tiny things that you do every day. So make a commitment to do one small thing every day, whether it's meditating or writing your dreams down and make sure you do it for about a month or two. Once you've done it for about that long, it will become a habit. You know, they say a habit is formed within 20 days. I would say it's more like 60 days, but it depends on you as a person. Obviously, some people take less time. Some people take more time. But going back to my original point, you're going to be asleep for a third of your life, right? That's a lot of time. That's hundreds of hours. Wouldn't you rather be doing something really exciting in those hours instead of just sleeping and doing nothing? Because let's be honest, you're going to sleep anyway. Either way, you're going to spend those hours sleeping. So wouldn't you rather, instead of just having a normal dream, have hundreds and hundreds of dreams, maybe even thousands, where you can control what you dream about and you can decide how you feel. Not only that, but you can also get real benefits by doing this stuff. Now, this isn't meant to be like an advert for lucid dreaming, although it could be. This is more just a reminder to you that you're going to sleep for hundreds of hours of your life. So the sooner you start learning how to lucid dream properly, the better and the more benefit you're going to get, because you'll be able to spend that time in a productive way. Okay, so I know that I literally just said that I wouldn't be advertising lucid dreaming as if this was like a commercial or infomercial or something like that. That being said, I have to say just a few words about how beneficial it would be if you did lucid dream, because a lot of people ask me, especially when they hear that I'm into lucid dreaming and that I teach, you know, that I've got YouTube channel and everything, they say, why would I want to learn how to lucid dream? What makes it worth your time and energy? And to be honest, there are a number of ways that I could go about addressing this. I guess the most obvious one is that you're going to have the dreams anyway. So either way, you're going to be sleeping for that time. You're going to be sleeping for a third of your life and you're going to be dreaming for a large portion of that time. So my question is why if there is the potential to explore your dreams and decide how you dream and what you dream about, then it's sort of a no-brainer. Why wouldn't you want that, especially when it's free? You can learn this stuff for free and practice it and be able to do it very quickly. So in a world where that's an option, why wouldn't you want to do that? Simply because firstly, it's possible. And secondly, you're going to do it anyway. Like if I said to you that you're going to, for the rest of your life, you're going to have to do an hour commute on a train every day for 40 years. And then I said to you, right, you have the option of either doing that commute without just, you know, just sitting there and doing nothing. Or during that hour commute, you have the option of, you know, watching a film or playing a game or learning something or practicing a skill or earning money online. Like it's such a no-brainer because you're going to have to do it anyway. So if the two choices are you either sleep for not 40 years, but you either sleep for a third of your life and that's it. Or you sleep for the same third of your life, but during that time you lose a dream and you decide what to dream about. You decide what experiences to have. Like you could fly around a skyscraper. You could talk with an alien. You could literally become any form or shape or concept that you want to imagine. You could literally do anything. And not only that, but it will have real benefits in your life. I'm sure you already know this if you're watching this channel. Like this is about lucid dreaming. So you probably already know this stuff. But this is just for those people who are aware of lucid dreaming, but they don't know maybe why they would want to start or why they should care. Because a lot of people just don't seem to be bothered. Like they've heard about the concept, but they don't really seem to care or, you know, care enough to devote five minutes a day to learning how to do it. And that's really all it comes down to is at the end of the day, if you practice this for five minutes a day and you know, obviously you can work up to longer periods of time. But if you just devote a few minutes a day to being more aware of yourself, to writing your dreams down, that is all it takes in most cases to be able to lucid dream over your life, you know. And so it blows my mind when people don't take this opportunity and don't do it. It's sort of like a low hanging fruit in life. It's a really easy opportunity to get more out of the time you're already going to be spending sleeping. This video has gone on long enough. So if you do want to learn how to lucid dream really quickly, I have actually created a really simple system called the lucid dreaming boot camp. I'm sure you've heard me mention it before. And the reason I mention it so often is because I'm really proud of it and it does actually work. But in a nutshell, it's basically for 30 days, it's a series of exercises and things you can do like an obstacle course almost like a lucid dreaming obstacle course that you can do every single day in just five minutes, you know, five to eight minutes a day. And if you do these things, if you if you do these exercises and they're not hard, you know, they're just they're just different. If you do them every day for the 30 days, you are guaranteed to have a lucid dream within 20 days. If you don't, obviously you can get your money back and keep the boot camp because I really do believe in this and I've had almost no refunds on this on this whole thing. So it really does work. You can read people's testimonials at the bottom of the page I will link you to. You can either click the link in the description or you can go to howtolucid.com forward slash boot camp. You can read reviews of this stuff online. You can, you know, have screenshotted loads of testimonials on the page for you like people have emailed me or messages or you know, anything like this. Long story short, it's a really effective program that I've put together based on what actually works not just based on what would sound good in a marketing ebook or what might sound good on on a sales page. It's based on what works and what I've proven to work and what works for a lot of people. So it really is worth your time. If you are interested in lucid dreaming, you should definitely go and check it out. If not, obviously it doesn't matter. Just subscribe to the channel, keep watching the free videos and you'll lucid dream. This is just sort of a way of the boot camp is a way of fast tracking or, you know, fast forwarding your your results and making it happen faster, not now and certainly not maybe tonight, although it's possible, but it's more just fast forwarding it and putting it on, putting some sense of urgency and priority on it so that you have it faster. And you'll also learn a lot more than I could ever explain in these videos as well. So if you are interested in that, then go and check it out. Alternatively, if you're more of a visual learner, I have actually created a really high quality video course on Udemy, which is also in the description. You can get a massive, I think 70% discount on that as well. So if you check the link in the in the description right now, you can go and check that out and read reviews of that as well. Bear in mind it's fairly new, so there won't be a huge amount of reviews because I've just launched it, but that's why there's a discount. So go ahead and check those out. And in terms of like updates for the channel, I want to make this a slightly more personal experience. I've tried to reply to a few more comments, but if you're one of the people who are subscribed to my channel and you leave a comment as soon as I post a video, I'd like to say firstly thank you so much for keeping the engagement there and actually replying to the stuff I post because it lets me know what you want and it lets me know what's going to be interesting to you and what's not going to be interesting to you. And obviously I'm grateful that you guys expressed that so clearly in the comments. On the other hand, if you're one of those people who like I sometimes am, you're sort of a subscriber, but you don't really comment or engage with the video, you don't like it or share it, whatever. That's absolutely fine, but just the more you comment and the more that you sort of let me know your opinions on my videos, the better I can make them. And obviously if I see really popular comments that have been upvoted loads of times where people are saying like make a video on this particular topic. If I see that, then obviously I can do it and I can make a video and I can help you guys. So if you are one of those lurkers who doesn't like to comment too often, try and consider just leaving the old comment even if it's just upvoting somebody else's comment. Everything like that helps because it lets me know what you guys want to see. So I think that's enough talking for today's video. It's gone on a bit longer, so sorry about that. And I'll see you next time. Done.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC7sruHb7do", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Stay tuned for some exciting news. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and before I get to this exciting new announcement, I want to talk a little bit about why I started this YouTube channel in the first place. So I've been working in a mental health treatment center for going on three years and it was about a year ago when I was sitting there and I was getting feedback from my clients. They were really enjoying my groups and stuff like that and I constantly remind them, I say it's important to understand how grateful you should be for being in this facility right here because there are thousands upon thousands if not millions of people outside of these walls who will never get the chance to be in a treatment center like this and it got me thinking I was like man there's so many people out there who need help with their mental health but they don't have insurance or they don't have money and all these other things. So I was like well why don't I just do what I do on YouTube and provide people with free content and I never thought this channel would be where it's at right now. I thought that not many people cared about improving their mental health and things like that but it has grown and grown and grown and I am so so grateful for every one of you subscribers out there and everybody who is sharing these videos and helping get this message of hope out there to help people with their mental health and also explain to other people what mental illness is really like. Now with that being said I'm one of the very fortunate YouTube creators where I have a full-time job. I have something that supports me. I have a steady income stream from my job but as most of you know who have been following me for a while I hustle hard. I try my best to make daily videos and it takes time and on the side I actually write freelance work just to make more money to bring in the house to help support me, keep a roof over my head, keep these lights on, support my son and all that kind of fun stuff and that takes a lot of time too. I probably spend about 20 hours or so a week just writing a loan to bring in some extra cash. So what I finally did was I put up a Patreon account so if any of you would like to support the channel and allow me to allocate more time to the rewired soul you can do so for as little as one stinking dollar. Isn't that amazing and you're like but Chris why would I do that if I'm getting all this content for free well hold on. So when I started this YouTube channel like this wasn't the original plan I've had big ideas and things that I want to do some of you are aware of this I've already written two books that are up on Amazon I have a course up on my website and things like that and I want to do more of it. YouTube is just a very small piece of what I'm doing but I want to put together other books other courses and all that kind of stuff it's just that I don't have time right now. So basically my goal of the Patreon is to bring in some extra income so I can quit writing freelance on the side and dedicate even more time into the rewired soul which would mean more videos better videos more in-depth videos but I'll also have time to create books courses and do other things to help increase awareness about mental health as well as help many many more people. So I've created a few tiers so if you want to head over there and check them out I'm doing other things on there so if you decide to support the channel which is totally up to you if you decide to support the channel there's other things on there where you will get free access to the books I write you will get discounts on courses from 25% up to 100% I am working with my lovely girlfriend on some designs for some merch that's like mental health positive you'll get discounts on that so I'm trying my best to do things that will help provide more value to you as well as these YouTube videos that I'm making so like I said this is all about spending more time on this trying to help more people and I want you to help me do that by being a part of the rewired soul by supporting the channel on Patreon but no pressure no pressure like I get it I was broke for a very very long time if you don't want to support the channel that is totally cool just keep keep subscribing to the channel share the videos try to spread some awareness that's totally fine as well all right but if you want to support the channel I've put a link right there it's also going to be in the description below go check it out if some of the rewards sound good to you or if you just want to donate a dollar a month beautiful a dollar goes a long way but thank you so much for all of your support this last year and I will see you next time	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcugmeEWF48", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Check them out here: https://www.redcon1.com/?aff=24327 #ad Shop your Brandon Scherff NFL gear: fanatics.93n6tx.net/mgGNPy Sup everyone and welcome back to another Rugby Player Reacts video! The NFL Top 100 is an annual list that features the top one hundred players in the National Football League (NFL), as chosen by fellow NFL players. The rankings are based on an off-season poll organized by the NFL, whereby players vote on their peers based on their performance for the recent NFL season. In this video I take a look at BRANDON SCHERFF who is an Offensive Lineman for The Washington Football Team and is now officially ranked number 98 on the list of The NFL's Top 100 Players of 2021! Dominant first-team All-Pro Brandon Scherff has become a contender for the best guard in the league at 29-years-old. Coming off a season playing under the franchise tag, Scherff committed just two penalties while consistently dominating opposing defensive linemen. The fifth-overall pick in 2015 will play a second consecutive year under the tag before likely hitting the market at the end of the season. This is the 4th annual edition of "Rugby Player Reacts to The NFL's Top 100 Players" and I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching and much love!

This is the manes of plastic waste. Apart from having adverse health implications, this is going to render land unproductive and unfit for agriculture. My government hatch announced that India will put an end to single-use plastic in the coming years. We are committed to development of environment-friendly substitutes and also an efficient plastic collection and disposal method. I believe the time has come for even the world to say goodbye to single-use plastic. Friends, human empowerment is closely linked to the state of the environment. We eat harnessing water resources or reducing usage of single-use plastic. The way ahead is behavioural change. It is only when all sections of society decide to achieve something, we can see the desired results. We may introduce any number of frameworks, but real change will be powered by teamwork on the ground. India saw this in the case of the Swachh Bharat mission. People from all walks of life took part and ensured sanitation coverage was up from 38% in 2014 to 99% today. I am seeing the same spirit when it comes to ensuring the end of single-use plastic. Youngsters in particular are most supportive and are taking the lead to bring positive change. Media is also playing a very valuable role.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcA9lvG77Lw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This topic, the little blurb says should women just be homemakers and stay out of the affairs of men and the domain of men such as public life, formal education, specialized training, employment, financial independence, civic engagement and so on. You probably have an understanding why they put me to talk about this topic. Alright, let's get right to it then, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. Where we'll start the conversation is where the assumption comes from. The very first thing I'm going to tell you, my dear sisters, is that always question assumptions. Where does the assumption that so many of, we hear this, we hear this not just by the way, it's not just from men. I hear this very often from women too, that a woman should stay at home. It's an assumption. Where does the assumption come from? That's the question. You see when you say a woman's place is her home, it can mean a lot of different things and this is what we're going to break down together. I have heard in scholarly circles, both men and women, try to use the verse in the Quran that talks about, does anyone know the verse? Thank you. Wa qaruna fi biyu tikun. Now, those of you who have been attending the Friday Night Halukahs, we're going over the text called Mahalim al-Lisan, the prohibitions of the tongue. And just a few weeks ago, we talked about the prohibition of taking out of context verses of the Quran or hadith. You see the Quran was revealed in which it has multiple and heavy meanings. And even if you are a native Arabic speaker, you can't just open the Quran or even the body of hadith and say, oh, I think it means this. Even if that's what seems it like on the surface or seems like a literal explanation of the verse. You see this ayah is ayah 33 in chapter 33, al-Ahzab. And it starts out, wa qaruna fi biyu tikun, but it is right in the middle of a series of verses that come before us. The context is everything. You have to understand, sabab al-nuzul. Why did this ayah, why was this ayah revealed? What was the sabab of its revelation, the reason for its revelation? There's a series of verses. And it starts out addressing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his wives. It's a series of verses that talk about at the way, you know, the point of it is sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying to the wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you wives are the mothers of the believers. You have a special place in Islam. You thereby, you have special rules that belong only to you. Furthermore, you have a choice. If you wish the dunya and the embellishments of the dunya, the Prophet can free you and you don't have to be his wife. But if you choose to be a wife of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you have special rules that apply to you. If you want Allah and his messenger, these are the rules. And this waqaruna fi biyutikun is embedded right in the middle of these verses because if you look even at verse 32, the verse right before it, and the verses prior to that too, they start out with ya nisa annabi, oh wives of the Prophet. It's talking to specific people. And thereby, the rules are for a specific set of people, the wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And it says, lasunnaka ahadin min annisa. You are not like any other woman. Now, sisters, when people take something from the Qur'an and try to extrapolate it and apply it to everybody, you can see where the problem is. Let me tell you, in case anyone's still feeling a little like, well hold on, isn't it supposed to be that we understand these are the wives of the Prophet? What about the mothers of the believers who have very special rules even after the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? There are certain things they can't do, they can't marry anyone else. They are almost like an intensive training with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to be the educators and teachers because they are the ones who are living directly with him and they become the teachers of our ummah, right? So somebody might say, but wait a second, we thought that this was something that people often say, a woman's place is our home, a woman's place, where is it coming from? No, we have different ethnicities here, so let me try something out. I've heard with my own ears, people who are, and I don't want to any, please don't be offended by this, but these are true statements that I've heard. I've heard some Moroccan people say, and very similar statement by the way by many of our Pakistani community, who will say something to the effect of the woman only should leave her home twice, have you heard this? She leaves her home, probably other ethnicities too I'm sure. She leaves her home, her father's home to her husband's home, and from her husband's home to the, so you know this statement, and you know it so well that you immediately quoted it. Or I can't, I can't do the Persian subhanAllah but our Afghan sisters will say, and you have to help me with the wording here, that woman should either be home, or what? Or in the grave. So you know the statement, nonsense. When I was younger, I think I would have been a lot more careful and PC and careful in my wording, and I think after all the years of therapy that I've done and counseling of families and people, this is cultural nonsense. And it has caused so much pain and so much difficulty for so many people unnecessarily. And I'm not blaming just the men, because we women do this to ourselves too. And we do it to each other as women. And it is incredibly important to understand context, because context is everything. And I want to keep this conversation very balanced. Ansa Sosen, who's actually here last conference, if you remember her, much along with my very dear teachers, had this beautiful model, and I want to start with this, and I'll probably wrap up with it again at the end. She calls it the circles of concern. Your circles of priorities. Your circles of influence. Think of it as a circle, within a circle, within a circle, within a circle, concentric circles. And at the core, if you really want to know your priorities, the core is what? Is your relationship with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala? And nothing tops that, nobody. Now here's where people get confused. You see there's a pre-marriage set of circles, and there's a post-marriage set of circles. Because pre-marriage, the circle right after your relationship with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala is your relationship with your parents and your siblings, then comes your extended family, then comes your community, then comes the ummah, then comes all of humanity. Post-marriage, there is another circle for those who are, Allah has written for them to get married, which is not everyone. There's another circle that comes in, and it kind of elbows out the circles a little bit. And people get really confused at this one. Because right after the relationship with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, right at the core, once married, the next circle out is actually the spouse and the children. They go, oh, what about my parents? Well listen, this is why Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala put it this way. In his eyes, Jalla Jalaluhu, and how he judges us, he puts and says, who is the only person who can be responsible for this circle? Earlier this week I was doing a training for Imams, and I said this exact same thing to them. I say this model by the way to everybody. Imams, non-Muslims, here are your priorities, right? Right? Because it's a human thing. Not just the women's thing, not just the Muslim thing. And I said to the Imams, that next circle out after Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala is your wife, and no one else can be her wife but you. Now the opposite could be ostensibly different, not our conversation for today per se, and my guess is not many of you would want to be in that case. But your spouse is your spouse, and no one else can be your spouse, that person's spouse but you, which is why they're in the next circle. Your kids, if you're blessed with them, biological children, you can only be the biological parent, mother or father of that child, no one else can be. Other people can parent and help, but no one else can be the biological parent, which is why that's there. And for siblings, if you have them, the parents, the responsibility of parents can be shared. Do you see what I'm saying? Okay. This is true men and women. Which is why when we look at the ayah we're looking at, the concept of isn't it better to be at home, Islam says it is encouraged for both men and women. There is no difference. The priority of your spouse and your children and your home is equal to men and women. No one else can be the husband other than him, no one else can be the father other than him. No one else can be the wife other than you and no one else can be the mother other than you. Do you see what I'm saying? Which is why the companions of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, understood this so well. So you look at someone like Abad Dardat, one of the famous companions of the Prophet and he's just beautiful saying that he says, nama sumatul rajuli baytuh. The best monastery for a man is his home. It's for men and for women because the priority as we showed in the circles is for men and women. So this concept of be in your home and you women should always be in their home, let's look at the Mufassirun. Let's look at the scholars of hadith. Now this is beautiful. Earlier we heard An-Sunni had recites, masha'Allah. And she recited it in the house recitation. As you know there are 10 different recitations of Quran and there is a beauty in the fact that there is some differences and nuance, most of them overlapped by the way, but there are some words and some differences between them. This verse is one of them. In the Hafs recitation we read Waqaruna fi biyutikuni, which translates into, again talking to the wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and settle or stay in your homes. But that's not how it's always recited because in the scholars of the narrators of Kufa and Basra, they recited as Waqaruna fi biyutikuni, with a kasra, Waqaruna, which changes the meaning, not totally, but there is a different meaning. And there it means and remain dignified and remain dignified and serene in your homes. So there are scholars even in the recitations of the Quran and the tafsid that said even for the Prophet s wives, there is a difference of meaning, let alone the rest of us. And so then the scholars of tafsid come and say, and you have the very famous Tabbari, Imam Tabbari, who says that because of this difference of meaning, and even in the original, I mean to say in the Hafs recitation of the word, whether it's Qaruna or Qirna, they have both said that this means that it is an encouragement, but not an obligation. Likewise, Ibn Battal said that this is not an obligation, but an encouragement. You have another, Ibn Hajar. These are all Mufassir, all scholars of Tersir, exegesis of the Quran, and he says the same thing, it's not compulsory. So where do you get people on the mimbar in the khutbahs, because I've heard it in a khutbah, and stay in your homes, right? Stay hidden, it is better. It's better for men and women. What is this thing, this fascination about it's better for women, because if everybody knew their priorities, everybody would be spending more time at home, right? And then we don't have these very odd questions about like, should a woman get married or educated? Why is this an either or question? Why is it an either or question? Because that's not the tradition of Islam. That's cultural nonsense, masha'Allah. That's not the tradition of our noble predecessors, not of the women, not the Prophet's wives, our mothers of the believers, and certainly not of the Sahabiyahs. You want stories of the Sahabiyahs here? Let's do this. Let's talk about some of the Sahabiyahs quickly, masha'Allah, because you see what happens when we rely on knowledge of our deans, see what happens if a woman stays at home, I love this, one of the scholars said, if the woman who really does is forced to be home, then she's not able to engage in society, learn and trade and finance and figure out knowledge and go and seek and come and travel. All the benefits of that are taken away. So you know what happens instead? Literally taken in the book it says, she becomes petty. If you are not living a purposeful life, something with purpose and meaning to it, then life is just the chore, the chores of life, and it becomes petty. The conversations become petty. The conversations about what she wore and who got what person, what shoes and what car and who's kid went to what school, and it starts to become very petty or even worse. Yeah, I think that person on that show should have married that person. At that person, could you imagine this and that happened, and that happened, and this happened, and no, that bachelor should have married this. But I would have been out of garbage. I walked into a conversation like this the other day, and I was like, petty, petty, not purposeful. And yes, and maybe you call me harsh, fine, but it's petty. It's pettiness. What are you spending your time actually doing? I didn't ask you to be a scholar of Islam. But with the focus, men and women, at leading a purposeful life, there's no time for this nonsense. Masha'Allah, right? Look at the, look, if you want to, let's, let's, now that we kind of question, now that we kind of question that assumption of that ayah, about whether women should be home and hidden, okay? Now let's look at proof. Proof from the Sahabi'at. Let's look at directly at the time of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Because sometimes when we talk about modern cases, they're like, ah, but what about, what about the Prophet's time? Okay, let's talk about the Prophet's time. Let's talk about one of my favorite, I don't have a lot of favorite stories, but I love the story of Khawla. Khawla bin Thalaba. Do you remember the story of Khawla? I love the story of Khawla. So Khawla bin Thalaba is a very important companion, Sahabi'ah of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. But the story I'm going to tell you here takes place as she's an older woman, and it's at the time of the Khalifa of Sayyidina Umar, okay? And she walks up to Sayyidina Umar, who's walking through the, with his, with his companions, you know, the Khalifa, right, the, the kawaf of the Muslims, and she stops him. He's on his way for another meeting, and she stops him. And so he sees her, and he goes to her and talks to her. And she tells him, it's beautiful. She says, oh, Umar, can you imagine like an auntie, like an elderly auntie? And she tells, now this is the Khalifa, okay? Umar, out of all people, okay? And she says to him, I remember you when you were just Umayr. You were just little Umar, masha'Allah, in the marketplace of Al-Qas. And I remember when you were just herding your sheep with a stick. Now aunties do this, they totally embarrass you, right? Okay, here's, you're some important person, and they're totally embarrassing you. Masha'Allah. And so, and then she says to him something very heavy. She says, fear Allah in your role as Khalifa and taking care of people. And know that if you fear the threat of punishment in the hell, in the hereafter, you'll realize that the hereafter is not that far away. And if you fear death, then know you're going to miss opportunities in this life. And you focus on the present and be careful with that responsibility of the people that you're in charge of. So she's giving him this advice, but this is the Khalifa, Umar. So his companion says to him, you left and you got late for the meeting with a man to talk to this old woman. That's what he said, that's literally what he said. So Umar says to him, whoa, he literally goes, whoa to you. Do you know who this is? This is, this is Khawla bint Baalaba. This is the woman who if she were to speak to me all day long, I would stand there. Unless it was a prayer time, I'd go and I'd come back and keep listening to her. Because who am I not to listen to her when Allah listened to her from the seventh heavens. And because of her complaint to Allah, Allah revealed verses in the Qur'an. What am I referring to? Surat al-Mujad. Ad-Sami'ah. Allah has heard the one who complains to you about her husband in the Qur'an. This one, earlier in life, she had went to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam because her husband had tried to divorce her and mistreat her. And she complained to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and long, long story short is that at the time, the Prophet can't speak of his own desire. He has to use right revelation. He said, I don't have an answer yet and Allah sent the revelation to answer her question. So here's Umar saying, who am I not to listen to her when Allah has listened to her from the seven heavens and revealed verses. They had no problem walking up to the caliphs. They had no problem going to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asking questions. Look, another example quickly. Ummat Darda'a, who overheard one time the Khalifa, Abdul Malik ibn Marwan, all right? And in the night time, he was looking for his servant, his helper. And so he calls out to him and the servant didn't answer. Maybe he was sleeping. So he curses him and she hears this. In the morning, she says to him, okay, Lif, I heard you curse your servant. So they check them. They didn't just, they don't just question and ask and go up to, they even check them, right? If women weren't out and about and part of the system and part of the society and part of the education and part of the learning, how do you get stories like this? So here is Ummat Darda'a saying to the Khalifa Abdul Malik, saying to him, have you not heard of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's hadith where he says, those who curse others shall not be accepted as intercessors or witnesses on the Day of Judgment. Oh well, almost. This is wrong. No, for my activist sisters out there. This is what you call truth to power. Do you understand what I'm saying? This is really important that we start to understand who our noble predecessors were. So when people start to say, no, no, no, sister. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Young person. Get married, stay at home. The issue isn't about marriage or about staying home because we all need to stay at home. The issue is about integrating and understanding and educating yourself about the deen. That if you have questions, the woman in Sahabia would hear something and if they weren't sure of it, they'd go up to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam themselves. They asked the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam for their own day of learning just with him. But they would also be, they would also be at the general learning circles with the men and the woman and at the prayers. Because we have several narrations where it says, and I was praying in the first line of the woman, right after the men. Like, you know that they were there. Look, I'm going to share with you one more person because I just love her, Masha Allah. I have too many people in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the stories. But her, that I love, her name is Shefa, Shefa El-Adawiyyah. No. Little later, we're gonna talk as I close up, we're gonna talk about financial literacy and financial independence, because this comes up as a question too. You tell me how in counseling, literally in counseling today, there are women who I'll ask them that there's tensions in the marriage and the issues and financial issues and I'll say, do you have access to your own account? It's a joint account. Do you have access to the account? No. You don't know how much is in your joint account? No. You don't have a way, no. Everything is blocked off. I'm like, there is a real problem, an issue when women don't have financial literacy. This is something Allah has given you and as Muslims on a silver platter for the first day of Islam. Why do we let our cultures take it away from us? Oh, that's what they do about, no, no, no, no, no. Garbage, nonsense. It's not Islam. How do you have Shifa Al-Adawiya? Speaking of Sayyidina Umar and the Khalifa of Sayyidina Umar, he appoints the first minister of finance of Islam, the very first minister of finance of Islam, is a woman. And her name is Shifa Al-Adawiya. Shifa is actually a nickname, her name is Layla, originally Layla Al-Adawiya, and they named her, they called, they named her Shifa. And she was given the role of all of the finances of the market. Now, when I say the market, do you understand what this means? You have to be able to go into the market. You're dealing with men and women, you're dealing with money, and you're dealing with debts and bankruptcy, you're dealing, and then she had this role that if anybody didn't know the rules, now, look at this, the rules of trade and finance in Islamic fiqh, fiqh al-mu'amalat, the fiqh of transactions, in the section of the financial, this is, we would, as fiqh students, we would call this chapter the headache chapter. Because there's so many complicated rules that, well, Allah ha'ani, masha'Allah. And so here, the most fiqh, the most knowledgeable of this topic of finances was a woman. And he appoints her this role, and it says she would go into the market, and if she saw anybody who didn't know, men or women, who didn't know the rules well, or was trying to scam somebody, or was trying to cheat, or just didn't know the rules, she'd kick him out of the market. Masha'Allah. And under her leadership, the finances, the treasury of the Muslims expanded greatly. Is someone going to question the wisdom of Amr? That he puts a woman in this role, and puts a woman in the marketplace, and knows who's best suited for the job? Yet we can't even get women on our masjid boards, let alone be the treasurer of the boards. Okay, masha'Allah. Now, somebody could say, okay, you started the ayah about Qadrna fi butzikun, and the wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, does that just mean that they're home? I want to clarify this point in case anyone was confused by it. We don't have time to go into all the different wives of the Prophet, but let's just say one. Let's use one, maybe one that we don't speak of, frequently, umsalama. Okay, you have umsalama, for example, who we know not only was she present in a lot of everyday matters, but the wives were also present in the battles. They didn't just stay home. They were always part and parcel of the Muslim society. And so umsalama, one time there's a story about her where she's doing her hair, and they hear the call out for the Prophet calling out for people to come and listen. And so she says to her helper, she says, I'm gonna go, and the helper says, no, no, he's calling the men. He says, no, she said, no, the call said all people. I'm a person? I'm going out to see what the Prophet said. And so she goes out and she listens, and the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that day was talking about the hawt, the pool, right? And later, what's interesting about the Prophet's wives, Aleyhi Nassalam, is that Aleyhi, you know, Ridwana Allah, Aleyhi, is that they would learn the same lesson that the Prophet said publicly later in their homes. Like he would give them their personal lesson. Remember, he was training them to become our teachers. So she was gonna hear this again later, but she wanted to be out there in the fabric of society. There are other narrations that talk about in the battles. You could see the wives of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam back and forth, running back and forth, trying to give people water and help people and remedy people and even, even she felt, the reason she got her nickname, she felt, the one about the finances, not a wife, but one of the companions, Sahabiyah, is because she was actually also on the battlefield helping medicaid. So she got the nickname because she was very specialized in being able to treat sores, right? Polymaths, Mashallah. And so, and then, and think about Umsalama too, in another instance, when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was trying to enter Mecca the first time and was stopped. And he wanted to tell all his companions, we need to turn back and nobody wanted to listen. Who did he ask advice from? Umsalama, his wife, he said, I don't know what to do. And she said, why don't you shave your hair first? Indicating, it's done. And then they will follow you and shave their hair and everyone can leave. Now, how would he have asked her advice if she wasn't there? Do you understand what I'm trying to say? It is really important to understand the context and to question the assumptions about what does it mean a woman should be home. Now, we talked about priorities. Where I'm gonna end my sisters, inshallah, is really thinking about things like education. I said before, why is it an either or between education between our religion, between marriage, between having children? There's a balance. Here's the balance. There should be not some false Islamic pretext that people say, oh, but Islam says it would be better for you to be a mother. I saw my teachers balance beautifully whatever Allah gave them. Some women, Allah gave them marriage, some didn't. And from those who were married, some Allah gave them children, some didn't. But whatever Allah gives you, there's a perfect balance to the best of your ability. But you know what that means? You know what happens in our societies? We have extremes. We push people, push, push, push to education. And so you have women who are told, prioritize your education, prioritize your job, prioritize climbing up that corporate ladder to the neglect of potentially getting married and forming a family if it's even written for her. Then you have the other extreme of, no, no, no, forget higher education. You'll never get married and have children. Extremes, both are extremes. And then we have members of our society that want it all. We have family members and aunties of ours who want everything. They want you to be the superwoman. But then when you really need them, where are they? I mean, I don't usually disclose a lot, but I'll share this one piece of my own life. My family told me we can see that you can do higher education, but you're gonna get married too. And so while you're doing this, you're going to, we're gonna figure this out in parallel. And when you do that, you need to show up. And they showed up, that's a botical law. People come up to me all the time and say, how did you do this? And I say, I didn't do anything. There were a lot of people whose hands were in the pot allowing for this to happen. My eldest who's here with us, my love Lester, inshallah, will tell you that there were a lot of hands in raising the children. Subhanallah, that there were a lot of hands helping out because if you're going to push forward somebody to join and be leadership and be in leadership and be in education, then into traditional societies, it said that there were at least four hands for every child that was born, four different pairs of hands that could help out. In our nuclear family type societies that we have here, especially in the West, there's some research that says it is the nuclear family that is actually one of the reasons for the amount of child abuse and neglect that we have. There is something to be said about multiple hands helping out. And if you're going to push your kid towards education, you better be there when they need your help for kids too, right? Just saying, inshallah. And if they are not educated, then we deal with people believing weird cultural and misconceptions like what we have here. I talked already about financial independence and how it's important that we have this and I'll just ask you this. Last conference, I spoke about Khadija, Radhya Allah Wanha. How do you have Khadija having an entire business, incredibly wealthy unless she had financial literacy? How do you have Ashifat that we were talking about today being the minister of finances unless this was something already part of what the woman did of Islamic societies? Lastly, civic engagement, and this is where I'll end inshallah, serving your communities. If the circles of priorities, I said I'll end with this inshallah and so if you were back with it, if the circles of community mean that your core, which is your relationship with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala is solid and your family is in a good place, then of course, by all means, part of charity isn't just money that we give. Charity in Islam is also our time. It is our knowledge. It is our effort. That is charity. When you tutor somebody with the knowledge you have, that's a form of charity. It doesn't have to be dollars in a box. When you volunteer of the time, you say I don't know a lot, but I have time to help, right? There's a pantry back here, I'm sure all in this message and other things have, you know, you give your time, you give your time. That's a form of charity, even if you didn't pan anything out of the pocket because you didn't have much. All of these are forms of charity and forms of civic engagement. When you take the woman out of that, or you go to the other extreme of what we call the social justice warriors, right? You end up with what? You end up with people, and I'm gonna use this example because I have people in my life who love dolphins, beautiful, majestic creatures, but they're all about save the dolphins, and their house is a wreck. Save the dolphins, and for the younger people, your room is a mess. This is a lack of understanding our priorities. It can't be one extreme or the other. Masha'Allah. And lastly, our yardstick, my worry about civic engagement and people going into social justice type work, is people jump on a bandwagon of anything and everything that's happening today, even if it doesn't apply to us. We have a yardstick that we measure things by, and that's called the Sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. If that cause out there fits with Islam, by all means, help. And if it doesn't, you have no business in that. Sheikh Hisharawi said this beautiful statement, and some of you have been in my holocaust, I've heard this before because I love it, and he says that mankind has been in darkness and Allah gave humans the ability to try to figure out light. So somebody figured out a candle and that was the amount of light they were able to bring. The next person figured out electricity, and so they created a light bulb. So more light and more sustainable light. The next person said, let's put multiple light bulbs on a chandelier, more light. Now you have lights that are so powerful when you think of a stadium, athletic stadium at night, playing a game at night, it is so bright in that stadium, right? When you're in it, it feels like it's daytime. That's how bright it is. So different people have been able to get different amounts of light depending on the gift Allah gave them. But when the sun comes up in the morning, you literally have to squint to see whether that stadium, powerful stadium lights are even still on or not. The sun is like the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in his sunnah. It outshines everything and anything that's man-made and that humans came up with. And so we have a yardstick. It's called the sunnah, the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. If your civic engagement falls within it, alhamdulillah. And if it doesn't, toss it out. And so I hope, insha'Allah, as we talk about this and really talked about the different facets of a woman being hidden or outside or inside, we understand some core things. We all need to do better in our homes. We all need to do better in our priorities. And insha'Allah, this is inspiring to really help us move forward, baraka allahu fi kun. Forgive me for any mistakes. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help us and preserve us and really make us from the type of woman who understand our priorities because it is with thought that Allah gives us the baraka and the tawfiq, the success to really be able to do well. We'll sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ma ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. Thank you so much. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCfZ0YT_H7g", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

In the interest of time, we're gonna get started. So yesterday's MLK at City Hall, where we had a capacity audience and today is made possible in part through the generosity of M&T Bank, Ben and Jerry's, the city of Burlington, racial equity, inclusion and belonging office headed by one of our panelists here, Kim Carson, Northfield Savings Bank, Key Bank, Howard Center, the Association of Africans Living in Vermont, Champlain Housing Trust, City Market, Spruce Mortgage, Fletcher Free Library, Echo, where we are at right now, Paul, Frank and Collins, the Waterwheel Foundation and the Office of the Mayor in the city of Burlington. A warm welcome to each and every one of you and a special welcome to our panelists. Some of these panelists have been here for many years participating in this event. Robert Tappell is unfortunately not gonna join us so instead of going down the list, I'll have each of the panelists introduce his or herself but collectively, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the panelists and to you, the faithful audience on a cold Vermont afternoon. So the theme this afternoon, what would Dr. King say? On this his 95th birthday and so I'll start off by saying, you know, the good Lord would not have taken us this far and leave us but that notwithstanding, we still have much work to do. And so I call on each and every one of you to join me in continuing his message that we were robbed off when he was taken from us way, way too soon. So I'm gonna introduce our moderator, facilitator, Karen Stackpole, who's been on this panel for many, many times, many years and so greatly appreciated. Each panelist will have three minutes, three American minutes to present and then we'll open for questions and then we have a wrap up closing comments from each of our panelists. So without further ado, Ms. Stackpole. Thank you very much. The first thing that I will do actually is say, I'm with Paul Frank and Collins. We're always happy to underwrite things that Patrick Brown brings to us because we always have good educational opportunities and to quickly recognize Patrick actually who as many of you know is the executive director of the Greater Burlington Multicultural Center, Patrick has worked tirelessly as many of us know over the years to bring people like Carol Mosley-Bron who my daughter was delighted to meet when she first came. We had wonderful speakers yesterday and Patrick I just wanna give a round of applause to you for continuing to bring us amazing people. Sorry really, because I'm not loud enough. That's crazy. Anyway, thank you. So wanted to introduce two of my left and we keep joking about this in terms of whether or not I'm gonna call you the serious name that I have for you, Pastor Doctor Arnold Thomas who is a retiring pastor of the Good Shepherd Church and longtime advocate for racial justice here in Vermont. He is yesterday received an award actually for his lifetime of service and so thank you for joining us. And to my right is Kim Carson. She's the director for the city of Burlington's Racial Equity and Inclusion and Belonging Office. Thank you very much, Kim for joining us, appreciate that. And Tato Rezebi, did I do that? Okay, all right. All right, thank you. I was working on it. I watched her YouTube, actually it was on YouTube, it was a TED talk that you did that was amazing. I watched it this morning and I was like, I was very excited that we were gonna be on the same panel with one another. Thank you for talking about your immigrant and refugee experience here in Vermont on that and we look forward to your comments today, thank you. And this is Jules Torti and Jules is an attorney with the Civil Rights Unit of the US Attorney's Office here in Burlington and we thank you very much for joining us as well. So I think what's interesting is that as we think about today's topic, one of the hallmarks of the civil rights movement in the 1960s was nonviolence. And very specifically, Dr. King talked a lot about nonviolence and people like John Lewis also carried that idea forward even to their own expense, obviously. And when I think about this panel, I'm really interested to know what people have to say. Dr. King said very specifically that we must not despair, retreat or fear. Whatever they do, we will not use violence in return. We hope that our acts to act in a way that they will see the error of their ways and to approach people with respect and we want to live in peace and equality. And so my first question for the panelists is, is that still possible today? And what do you think Dr. King would say about that message today when we live in a world where there's lots of violence? So. Thank you, Karen. Can everyone hear me? Yeah, just pull a little closer there, yeah. As far as the question is concerned, I think Dr. King would still be a strong advocate for nonviolence, but I think our advocacy and I support that as well. But I think our advocacy must also go hand in hand with a conviction and an articulate vision of what our nonviolence efforts wish to achieve. And I think that it has been lacking on as far as a moral and political vision of what this nation stands for. I believe that Americans and the world as we become increasingly, as our demographics become increasingly majority populations of color, we need to articulate what our vision, not only for America, but for ultimately the world in collaboration with other leaders, what that is all about. And I think we need to evolve into a nation that places compassion over capital. Compassion over capital. And that means that somehow we need to evolve into a nation where all citizens of this nation, all citizens are valued for the dignity of there being human companions with each other. And that our economy, our social efforts to evolve into a much more compassionate nation is one in where we don't place capital as a means of determining the value of another individual. To some extent that involves a graduated income where the wealthy of this nation pay their fair share with the rest of us in determining how we're going to uplift all elements of our population, regardless of race, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of gender identity, regardless of all of those elements that have historically divided us, those need to be the voices that determine how we're going to move forward and articulate our vision as a nation. I also believe that we shall overcome should become the national anthem of this nation. Thank you very much. Thank you for those comments. Kim, what are your thoughts? I think, can you hear me? No, I didn't think so. Is that any better? Yes. My mic's gonna fall, so I'm just gonna place my hand there. My work's a little different because it's not directly advocacy, it's more policy. And so as I think about violence, I think about it in a different way. My work is looking at specifically over the last year, so looking at racism through the lens of public health. And so when I think about violence, I think about the ongoing and pervasive violence against black bodies in not necessarily a direct way, but a systemic and indirect way. So when we're thinking about the social determinants of health, we're thinking about the economy, we're thinking about education, we're thinking about housing, we're thinking about healthcare. And when you think about the impacts that your skin color determines your health outcomes in America, that's violence in a different way. When I can't be physically, emotionally, and psychologically safe to go to school. When I can't be physically and psychologically safe to go to the doctor's office. When I can't be physically or psychologically safe to go vote. It's concerning to me that we're focusing, and I think a lot of times, on the violence of the oppressed and not thinking about the violence of the system and why the oppressed and the young and the disenfranchised are fighting and are speaking up. So when I think about violence, I would shoot that back to the majority and say, what are we going to do to start thinking less about changing people's hearts and minds and really getting active about changing these systems? Yeah, thank you very much. And I think the concept of systems, each of you has spoken to that. And I think sometimes, at least from when I hear people talking about a lot of these issues, people are talking about individuals, well that person shouldn't have done X and that person shouldn't have done Y. But as both of you were discussing, there are clearly systems, whether they're economic systems, whether they're legal systems, whether they are healthcare systems that actually set us at juxtaposition and put us in not the same levels or not to the same advantages. So those are really great points. Tata, what are your thoughts? Thank you. Can you all hear me? I'm getting over the cold, so I hope not to cough. So I wrote my response here and I'll be reading most of my response. I believe that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would continue to use and urge all of us to use the power words. An acts of non-violence resistance, such as protests, grassroots organizing as well as encouraged dialogue and education to continue his drive to build a just society. He was all about helping. In his letter from the Birmingham, Alabama jail, he wrote, and I'm sure you're mostly familiar with this, that injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inspeakable network of materiality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. The ills, injustices that happen in our community today do not in any manner whatsoever reflect what the men we are honoring today was all about. So we must go back to the drain board. I believe in our efforts to integrate, for example, the refugee population who I serve, to integrate them in humanity on building thriving communities. We must look beyond the color of our skin, the economic status, and focus on what we could build if we all worked together. In the words of Mr. Benjamin Mays, and I read this beautiful article if you get a chance and maybe subscribe to the Atlantic, I believe it's made public now. He said that Mr. Benjamin Mays was the president of Morehouse College when Dr. King was a student there. He said in his eulogy, and I quote, couple with moral courage was Martin Luther King's junior's capacity to love people. Though deeply committed to a program of freedom for Negroes, he had love and concern for all kinds of peoples. He drew no distinction between the high and low, none between the rich and the poor. End of quote. I end by a common saying that says love conquers all. Selfless love is everlasting and can cause us to serve one another. While saving for me is a vocation, I believe we are all called by God to love one another and serve one another. And as Dr. King said, life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others? And he would say everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve in his ways. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace as soul generated by love. So I'm gonna end by saying that we all have the capacity to serve one another. And I do believe that it's one of the ways that we can really bring an approach to some of the ills and some of the violence we see happening, even right here in our community, in Wellington, in Vermont. Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. Jules, in the work that you do, how do you see these issues? Yeah, certainly. I think kind of fundamental to Dr. King's nonviolent approach is that there was another approach. And I think that what you quoted, Karen, about living righteously and letting other people see that and respect it was part of that. I also think that advocating for a better democracy and better laws was part of it. I've been reminded, thinking today about the give us the ballot speech, late 50 speech that Dr. King made where he said, give us the ballot and we will reform the courts. Give us the ballot and we will pass just laws. Give us the ballot and there will be judges that hand down just sentences. And I was struck by his belief in our democracy and belief in the power of the vote as kind of foundational and fundamental to the establishment of civil rights. I think that if he were alive today, he may despair at our system of voting. What good is the ballot if your district is so gerrymandered in order to make your vote not count? What good is the ballot if we can't be assured a peaceful transfer of power to the next administration? So from the point of view of, from what I do in the Department of Justice and what our current Department of Justice does, part of it is focusing on enforcing voting rights, suing states that have laws that put up crazy barriers like prohibiting people from handing a bottle of water to someone standing in a too long voting line. Things like making districts that look absolutely nuts in order to ensure that the people in power stay in power. So I think Dr. King's message of non-violence and belief in another way inspires me to make sure that the other way really exists, not just in name, not just that we have the ballot, but that our systems truly work for everybody. Because I think the foundation of an equal and inclusive democracy is an actual democracy. Yeah, and it's a really interesting point that you make too in terms of access, right? Access to the ballot. Some of you may know, but some of you may not. Based on youth or maybe you didn't learn this in school, but there used to be things like poll taxes. You specifically had to pay a certain amount of money to be eligible to vote. And that was prohibitive, obviously, to people who were not landowners. It was prohibitive to people who generally were not white, were not male, and so that was a way to say, well, if you wanna do this, you have to do this thing. See, everybody that does that gets to be part of this process, but you don't. So removing things like that. Reading tests, English tests, math tests, they're all kinds of things that have been used to qualify people to have the ability to vote through our history. And to dismantle those kinds of barriers has made it easier for people to vote, but there are still things that people wanna do, like I'm not gonna let you on a hot day, bring somebody a bottle of water while they're standing in line to vote. Frankly, I remember here in Burlington when my mom was running for city council, she was one of the first women ever to serve on the city council in Burlington. I remember getting on the phone and going, hi, this is Janet Stack, Pulse Daughter, do you need a ride to the polls? Just to make sure that you could actually get people to the polls. And so it's things like that, grassroots types of things, as well as obviously the changing of those statutes, I think that definitely makes sense. In terms of what we can do, each of us, before we open it up for everybody out there, maybe thinking about from the panelists, is there one thing that you can think of that each person sitting here today might be able to do to advance some of the work that Dr. King and his colleagues did to create a better opportunity for civil rights? Fundamentally, I think it's important that each person in this room, each citizen of the state and nation acknowledge their importance as voting or potentially voting members of this society. Jules mentioned that one of the fundamental efforts strives that Dr. King pursued was that of voting rights, and as we see those rights being taken away in so many ways, especially in states where the majority population is now made up of people of color. That includes Texas, that includes Georgia, that includes New Mexico, that includes California, all of those states now represent majority people of color. And yet there is a concerted effort, especially in Texas, especially in Florida, to marginalize and prevent those populations from having the final say. We need to assert our rights as individuals of this nation, as citizens, to exercise that right to vote. Take it seriously. Thank you. I'm reflecting on what you talked about, about voting rights, and I think as I sit here, what I think and what I've been thinking is as much things have changed, they've stayed the same. And so one of the things I'm reflecting on, as I'm coming up on my first, finishing up my first year here, is thinking about voting rights. Voting rights is an act that must be reauthorized. It's not absolute. And so that's part of the problematic piece of the education and why we have states and spaces that are trying to take away history. Because if you don't know your history, you're repeated. And things will keep happening suitably. How are black bodies and people of color protected in this country? What can we do? To be honest, I'm pondering that. Because when I think about January 6th, and we're still talking about what it looks like to storm the Capitol, what I think about it, what if those were black bodies and not white bodies? What would have happened? And so as I think about that and I think about what could we do in a state that is predominantly white? I say, what are you doing? I'm from Iowa. So I see a lot of times today we're doing the Iowa caucus. Historically speaking, this was the first time that the black and brown caucus, that is something that's been going on since the 80s, that a whole political party refused to speak to people of color about their issues. This was a non-partisan group. So when I say what could we do? Be loud, be active, take part. Just because it doesn't look like you and it's not happening to you, that doesn't mean you don't do something about it. Be knowledgeable, advocate, and don't give up. Persist, persist, persist. Get access. Run for those seats, run for those offices because we have a lot of people speaking for people of color, but not a lot of people of color in those seats talking about what they need. And so I'll leave you with this. If you are not on the table, you are on the menu. And so I would ask each of you to get knowledgeable and educated, but then for people of color, get active, get represented, and be there so that you are not on the menu and you can actually advocate for yourself. Thank you, Kim. Tata? If you're not on the table, you're on the menu. So speak up. I wanna reflect on a very recent personal experience. I've lived in this country for more than 20 years on and off. I do international development work, so period of that time I was traveling to other countries to do some work. Majority of the time I have been in the U.S. in Vermont particularly. I went to Costco with my sister who had just recently visited the U.S. for the very first time. And I was online waiting to be checked out. She stepped back to change the size of an item that she had. On her way back, the lady behind me started talking very loud so that I could hear her, that we were cutting the line and it was not right. And I looked back and in the most polite way said to her that she's not cutting the line. She had just went to exchange the size. And she became even louder and he said, it's people like you. It's people like you who make things hard for some of us. In that moment I thought, do I respond? Do I just keep quiet and let it slide? Or do I walk away? I vividly remember those three thoughts. And I thought, no, Tato, you cannot walk away. You cannot be quiet. You are going to respond. I said, ma'am, I will explain again that we are not cutting the line. And she became even louder and she said, I'm from here. I don't know where you are from. I did not know how to respond to that and it's very much unlike me. I'm generally a quiet person, but if I need to speak up, I will. A young woman on the other side of the line came up to this lady who in the moment I thought she was really bullying me. And she confronted her, literally went to her face and said to her, you are being rude. It became quiet. She was the only person, tiny young lady who went up to this lady and went into her face. I was a little scared, actually, that she was that close to her face. And I said to her, thank you for speaking up for me. I walked away, I found that lady waiting for me outside because I had asked her to leave the store because of the way she was being confrontational. In the moment I decided the right thing to do was to go to her and say to her, how do you think this conversation could have gone better? What could I have done to make you feel better? She was irrated, she was angry. And in that moment I saw an opportunity to engage and say to her, I may not have been born here, I have been a Vermont resident for more than 20 years. I belong as much as you do. I wanna do this better. How do you think we can resolve this before we part? So I walked away feeling that I haven't achieved much, but at the same time feeling like we need to speak up and very proud of the young woman who stood up for me. Costco was packed. She was the only person who stood up for me. So I was grateful, very grateful that somebody saw an opportunity. I saw it as an opportunity to educate, to engage and to look for a solution. So I would like to think that even in this times, Dr. King would say let's engage, let's educate one another and let's find ways of resolving issues that are really non-issues. Thank you. Thank you very much. Joyce. I mean I think if everyone had those conversations, had that level of courage in the moment. I think that would be the fix to be frank, but I was going to say something that frankly sounds very similar now, which is having the bravery to speak across difference and form genuine human connection across difference. I think that there are those who would weaponize difference and use it to their own advantage and want us to feel separate and want us to see each other's humanity. And it's uncomfortable to speak, I think, across difference a lot of the time, but I think if more of us followed that as example and did so, I think that would be an important step. And I think what's interesting is I think as we grow as humans and walk through life, as life changes, we each find different opportunities for that. And if you're willing to take that leap, I do lots of trainings for employers about civil rights and about anti-discrimination. And we talk a lot about implicit biases. I know a lot of that is your work as well. And one of the things that we talk about is that, you can take a look at somebody and you have an idea of who they are. You think you know their story. And what I always joke with people about is, you take a look at me and you can see the map of Ireland all over my face. That is not rocket science, right? And you can tell that I'm fed well, right? Those two things may be true, but you don't know that in my family, in my immediate family, there are people who are white, there are people who are Korean, there are people who are Chinese, there are people who are African American. In my immediate family, there are people who are gay, there are people who are straight. And so if you are going to be that person who's just gonna be a jerk, right? And who's going to attack somebody for those things, you're not understanding what that person's, you don't know, we don't know when we look at each other. And so to make those assumptions about one another just because of how they look, it still happens a lot, or how somebody talks, but if we stop ourselves, that one thousand, two one thousand, before we say that ugly thing, that might make a difference, you never can tell. And I think, looking at you, I'm thinking to myself too, that whole idea of using that Bible reference of love your neighbor, of be that person who's willing to be that change. Any thoughts on that, sir? Yeah. Yeah. Questions? Questions from you folks. Patrick, did you have a question? I'm just gonna invite you all to come up and ask your questions off the panel, individually, collectively. And I'm gonna especially invite the young folks. I look around, I see some young folks. It would be wonderful if you could come up and ask questions. Many of you are hearing about Dr. King and the civil rights era for the first time today because this history isn't taught in schools anymore, especially if you're from Vermont. So please don't be afraid to come up and ask questions. Excellent. We have some takers. I'm a very young person from Vermont. I just moved in there about two and a half months ago because it's supposed to be a very peaceful place, but after just a month, I realized the violence, the disease that we're living in this country, which is spreading the violence all over the world. After the First World War, from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam, Middle East, Africa, they actually running the economy by selling the arms and ammunition to all over the world. We also have got a waging war on the poor people. I see, I almost cry when I see, I walk in this beautiful park in the battery park and see these people are sitting there and sleeping there. So there's, we need to change the structure, this constitution. That's the reason I came, I'm originally from India, but I was living in Sweden, very secure medical system, education, they paid everything. But I came here and I see some people like Senator George McGowan and Constitution of United States that make me stay in Cambridge, Massachusetts for since 1968. But the more I'm living, the more it is changing to the thing. In the last few elections, we had two literally losers that we have to choose among them. So something we have to do, because this constitution is written by the humans and the human don't make anything perfect like nature, we need to change it. And any person with a criminal record with molesting the woman and this thing should not have been considered as a janitor of his school. And they are running our presidency and that is the main reason this democracy unfortunately is choking and we need to live my children, my grandchildren are going to be here and I don't want to be them growing in this atmosphere. They might be end up as homeless. Thank you, sir. Thank you for all of you to listening me do something about it. Thank you, thank you for your thoughts. And you are not the first person I've heard even this week talking about the fact that we may need changes in the US Constitution. And the good thing is, and I usually, I have run out of them so many times and it's the beginning of the year. I buy 2000 a year and hand them out all year long. And so I apologize that I don't have enough for everybody here because I looked today and I was out. But I carry pocket constitutions all the time and the bottom line is it is a relatively old document. It has been amended 27 times so it is possible to do. And as we look at what our systems are like we have changed them over time. I mean, there are a number of us on the panel. Most of us on the panel here weren't able to vote. Actually all of us on the panel weren't able to vote when the Constitution was first enacted. Period, end of sentence. And some of us sooner than others, right? And so the bottom line is that we can make those changes. They aren't easy, they take commitment and they take working hard. Do you have any thoughts on the question the gentleman posed or the comments? Gentlemen may. Yes, I do. I need to remind myself that a majority of the members of the Supreme Court wish to interpret the Constitution as it was originally intended. And that is frightening, very frightening. We realize that the original framers of the Constitution were white men. And when they acknowledge or when they espouse the belief that all men are created equal, they were specifically talking about white male landowners. And even the majority of white people were not really allowed to vote because they weren't landowners. And tell roughly about 1850. So nearly a century would pass in this country before the majority of Americans, regardless of race, were allowed to vote. And that remains the case. You have a small minority of those who are fighting tooth and nail to preserve the status of white male hegemony. And we need to try our best to prevent that from happening. Believe me, this nation is fighting for its soul as a democracy and only we who strongly believe in the essence of all people are created equal have to fight for it. And it's a fair point too that similarly, many of us on this panel in my lifetime, a lot of those laws have changed. Literally in my lifetime. So it's more recent than even that. Kim, thoughts? That's a tough one. I know there are lots of them. I think about interpretation, representation. Prior to coming here I worked for the Iowa Judicial Branch and so it was very interesting to see how different people interpret the same body of work which is the Constitution. What's hard is I continue to reflect that when these laws and even some of the amendments to the Constitution were done, we still weren't represented, right? The majority wasn't, those that were disenfranchised weren't represented. And so I think representation matters. We've seen a huge walk back of representation on the courts. We've seen an active role in changing the courts. I can share an experience with you. Working in government, watching entities start to change the process of how judges become judges. And then once they decide how judges become judges, who becomes nominated? Changes. Who is skilled to be the judge? I think we need to take some time and learn the process and understand the difference of the three branches of government and what that looks like so that when we are going to the polls, we flip those ballots over a lot of times. And if judges have to be confirmed and things that nature and put back on the ballot, that we're aware of that. That we hold our public officials accountable, not just to their words, but to their deeds, right? To their promises that are made. I think about Dr. King's famous speech, I Have a Dream. And one of the things I was, is I flipped through TikTok as I often do in the mornings. My kids who kind of got me a little addicted to that is getting those short memories and moments of other people's reflections about what's going on. And in that moment, one of the TikTokers talking about that I Have a Dream speech wasn't the actual speech that Martin, Dr. Martin Luther King was actually, and it was Mahela Jackson, the black woman that was in the background saying, tell them about the dream, Martin. Tell them about the dream. My biggest concerns were still living in a dream. It hasn't been actualized. We can't get past the dream because for some, my freedom looks like someone's nightmare. And so, it wasn't just about the civil rights movement. I want people to start to pay attention to the counter movements. What is happening in the background? When as soon as we have an African American president, the first thing we're doing is deciding whether or not he's a citizen. What are we doing when we start getting access and we start taking away the ability to educate children about the history of America? What is going on that we still cannot realize this dream? And so, I just implore you to get active, to be present, because for some people, the nightmare of accessibility is hindering the dream of everyone else and racism cost us all. So, I leave it with that. Thank you. Tata? Don't really have much to say in terms of constitution, but I'm thinking once again about the population that I have a privilege to serve, the refugee and immigrant population. A lot of us here in Vermont, and I would say this may actually reflect across the country, don't know the refugee journey. And I realize that there's a lack of us taking time to really learn who we are as a people who come to integrate and be part of this greater community, who literally changes the tapestry of this community to make it what it is today beautiful in my view. I look at how the court system, for example, and I'm in court a lot, I'm very much privileged to work with one of the hardest-working women I've ever come across in this community, Ms. Sandy Bird, who represent the poor, who represent people who are voiceless, who do not speak English. She goes to the court, we come back, we are very frustrated in realizing that the one, our very own clients don't understand the laws of this country. There is no simple way of understanding the court system in itself that's currently struggling, especially after COVID-19. And it just breaks my heart every day to realize that there's no knowledge that in fact, when our refugees come here, they are permanent residents and that they become citizens and have the rights to access the courts, to interpretation services, have the rights to know their rights. And that is not something that's easily talking about accessibility. I do believe that courts are not necessarily accessible, especially to the population that doesn't speak English. And I often think about what is it that we can do as a small community of Vermont to start the change, because I do believe that we can do something about it. And the things that we can do can actually scale up to other communities, to other states, and can become part of the law. I look at how hard we work in the state, how we are part of the city, so yet we cannot vote, yet we cannot do certain things that in reality we're entitled to. And it just takes changing some of the policies, some of the rules, the laws that exist. And I often wonder what would it take for all of us to do that? And I'm a firm believer in education, that if we took the time to reflect, if we took the time to think about what is it that we can all do to make Vermont, to make our cities better place to live and to be more welcoming. I do believe that we can achieve a lot. We just don't make the time to think, to learn more about each other. We don't make the time to think about better ways of changing the current systems to make sure that everybody can access the systems equally. Thank you. Thank you, Jules. Yeah, it's an interesting question whether the Constitution needs to be amended. Yeah, it's happened 27 times, but it is so hard. Baby Step is just making better laws, right? The Constitution is kind of supposed to be a floor and we build the structure of our lives and our government and our society upon it. And so I think that constitutional change, whether or not it happens, I think there's hope to be found in better legislation and legislative bodies that work effectively. So I would advocate starting there. Yeah, and I think that's an amazing thing about the great state of Vermont too, is that here, if our legislators hear from two or three people, that's a landslide of opinion. Because we're a small enough state where people will know who their legislators are. They're their neighbors and we have the ability to walk into our state house and find those folks. So even if it's not a big legislative change or something like that, that whole concept of getting involved, having your voice heard, can actually make a change in things. Do we have other questions? Other folks that would like to please? My name is Sandy Barrett and I've had the great privilege over the past three or four years of working at the Association of Africans Living in Vermont. I'm an attorney and all of my life, I've noticed one huge neglect on the part of all of our systems and that is the neglect of women and mothers and that is a very serious matter. It's not necessarily in our Constitution. Of course, women have the right to vote now. One of the things that we forgot to mention was the Constitution had to be amended. Remember that, to allow women to vote in the first place. But what I've noticed, I've worked at Legal Aid for years and now I've been a private attorney as well. That the biggest neglect that I see are with poor mothers. Fathers also, however, it's mainly the mothers who are raising the children in this society and that if we continue to neglect mothers as we have for so long, we are going to raise also and create a dysfunctional society. So in my work at AALV, what I've seen is over and over new American mothers but also poor American, old American mothers who don't have enough money to bring up their kids who don't have welfare anymore. If you'll remember, welfare reform that was accomplished in the, I guess in the 80s, was it? Under President Clinton, actually. If we continue to neglect mothers who are raising children on their own in poverty, we are always gonna have a dysfunctional society. And I've seen that at AALV where not only are they neglected in terms of money but mothers, particularly new American mothers but also old American mothers, have virtually no access to the courts. They don't understand the law. They have no access now because it's all electronic. It's all expensive. They don't have the right to lawyers either. So I would urge you all, that's mothers of color, it's also poor white mothers as well. So I would urge you to remember that in your deliberations. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thoughts? I am very much aware of that. I think that especially when you are mindful that many people of color come from matriarchal families, more than patriarchal families. And people who immigrate to the United States are often coming from cultures that were predominated by patriarchal systems, leaving them destitute in many cases. Not only from the countries that they come to but also within the country that they find themselves, the United States. We need to reform. We need to be mindful of those populations that are headed by women households. We need to be mindful of the plight that they face, not only in fleeing from countries but also in coming to this country that still tries to preserve a system that is, again, and I emphasize it, that wants to preserve a white male hegemony that has to be overcome. We have to evolve from that foundation into something better. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you. Just briefly, as I'm thinking about this and I was doing some work with UVM and we were thinking about health outcomes, I was blessed to have a grandson born in Vermont. He'll be one years old. And what I find interesting is the very interesting dichotomy between, as I've been in Vermont and learned more and spent time with, far more time with, especially refugee families, the parallels between those and black American families. My family has multi-generation American and came from the South as I call refugees to the North. And a lot of the stories that I hear my grandmother and my aunts and my great aunts tell as I listen to refugee women here with their families, unfortunately, sound the same. And that makes me really sad. What I do know is not only our health outcomes for black women, but when the intersection of not speaking English, it becomes even more profound. Mortality rates for women birthing children, for refugee women, are just for a country like America. It is absolutely ridiculous and their voices are not being heard. Finding a doctor. I called, and I share my personal story. I've been on a waiting list. We declared racism as a public health emergency. And a lot of black people, black and brown people can't get primary care providers. That's a problem. So I just, as I'm sitting here, sitting with my sister here, right? It greatly saddened me and listening to, and being a mother and a grandmother that with all the resources that America has that we're still in the same space, in the same place. And as your skin color and language access becomes a barrier, that is just absolutely profoundly, just absolutely disgusting of a country with the resources and what we have. And so I leave you with this, Vermont, as a state, and you say, you can talk to your legislators, you can go in the door. One of the things I haven't heard is that advocacy as Sandy's talking about for the most disenfranchised and marginalized, those that don't have a voice. I want Vermonters to stand up loud, not for just what affects you, but also affects others that are sitting next door to you. We welcome refugees and immigrants to our community, and then I feel like we forget about them. We give them a couple years and we say, figure it out. It saddens me when the experience of black Americans that have, we're here, Dr. Martin Luther King, and he's talking about this. And then we welcome people here and say, come, and we treat them the same, we disenfranchise them. So I really just lean into Vermonters who are very politically active that have accessibility to your legislature, to your city council of people, to really advocate those that don't have a voice, don't have access, and maybe don't even understand what they should be fighting for, fight for them and with them. Thank you. Tatto. Is this waving his hand? Sorry, I just was interested though, because I think Tatto has a perspective that I think we'd like to hear, and then I'll come to that, please. Sure, I'm just gonna quickly say that I'm gonna go back to my saying that love conquers all. Selfish love, I'm going to add. I believe that we have an opportunity to learn from one another. I believe that we have an opportunity to find common ground that we are mothers, we are grandmothers, and we can gather in a room we can gather. In our countries, we have these things that we call Kodla, where people come together together to discuss issues that are going on in the community. I am still learning about the African American history. I realize that there's so much commonality. That it's something that I do believe that Vermonters have the capability of doing. I have seen this work in Vermont. That when we all work together, we come together and forget about our differences just for a minute and focus on what brings us together as humanity, we can change the ills that we see in our small community. So I encourage all of us here because I believe that you are here because you care so deeply about your neighbor. Come get to know who we are. Let's sit down, let's talk about what is the commonalities that we have and what is it that we can learn from one another and what can we teach each other. Thank you, great advice. And Jules, I'll give you a first dibs on the next one. Is that okay? Sir, you had a question. Hi, my name is Jean-Vierre. I'm a grad student at UVM, and I just want to ask, what are we doing to deal with mental health crisis for people of color in Vermont because I mean, I've been living in Vermont for like 15 years and I have noticed a lot of people telling me you gotta leave because this place is really bad for your mental health. It's gonna kill, basically, Burlington is gonna kill you if you stay here because you're always the only black person around. Some of your friends are struggling with mental health. So my question is like, what are we doing to help people of color feel included, especially in the conversation of mental health? Thank you. Jules, we'll give you a first dibs on that one if you'd like. Yeah, thanks a lot. Yeah, sorry. No, no, I mean, I say that because it's a really tricky question, right? I think there's kind of two parts to what you said. One is like, why is there a mental health crisis among black people in Burlington? Why are people made to feel so marginalized that they're struggling? And then there's the question of what are we doing about it? So now that I've stated the questions again, I think I might pass it off because I don't know what we're doing. I'm not entirely sure that we're doing enough. Tata, do you wanna? Go ahead. I think that's a good question. I don't know if I have an answer. And I sit here as a board member of the Howard Center, which is an organization that provides services, primarily mental health services. I do think that there's a lot that we can do. I think there's a lot of work being done and I'm not sure if we are doing it fast enough to really deal with the mental health crisis that we are facing. We know that there's no enough bears at UVM Medical Center, for example, to accommodate everybody. We have to drive people out of Burlington to access services. Even then, when people get there, it's not that they adequate staffing in those services. There is no understanding of providing services to people of different cultures, which is the most frustrating part for me. And I don't think that we are doing enough to cultivate or to hire people who can serve the populations that look like them here in Vermont. I say this also knowing that there's a lot of work being done in the background. I don't know if I have an answer, but all I know is that we do have a crisis. It affects all of us, regardless of color, mental health crisis. It's in the rampage in Vermont. It just has affected all of us negatively. I really don't have much to add. I think she nailed it. I think there's a lot of work going on in the background. And unfortunately, there's just not a lot of resources. And so I think everyone is fighting nationally to find providers, to find culturally competent providers. I just think we're in a crisis in America to find accessibility for that. There was also, hang on one second, there was also a quick thing that you mentioned, though, too, in terms of being told, hey, you're gonna be one of the only brown faces in your community and impact that that would have. I think that's something that's not recognized enough either. As the mom of a black child, I will tell you that that has certainly been something that we as parents worked diligently to try and make sure that she had a community of families that she could be with because, and that we could be with and be in community with to give her a grounding so that she wasn't always the only in any room. She still is in Vermont at most of it. And now that she's looking for colleges, she's looking in Boston. And she's looking in Boston because she's very excited to not be the only brown person in a room. And so I think some of that has to do with it too, just in terms of that. And so I think building community is a really important piece to be able to do that. We'll give you an opportunity, and then, sir, feel free. I remember when I served a congregation that was predominantly black in New York City, one of the members came up to me and said, you know, when I feel stressed mentally or otherwise, even in New York City, she said, I don't go to a therapist. I go to church. And that was somewhat amusing for me because it implied that this person, as I feel many people of color are holding within them a desire to just hold it together despite the fact that they live in an environment that in which it is hard to find therapists, it is hard to find healthcare professionals who look like you. So we have to hold it together. We have to find other means by which we can maintain our sense of sanity in an environment that really speaks against us. And so I think, as Kim, you mentioned it also, I, as an African-American living in this state, in a rural section of the state, within my narrative, within my historical narrative, there is the fact that Medgar Evers was killed, assassinated, gunned down by a person who was in hiding as he left his car and tried to enter his house. Every time I get out of my car and I go home, every time I get out of my car, that narrative is in the back of my mind. And I pray that I will make it from my car to my house alive and there's no sniper, and I live in a rural section of Vermont, there's no sniper as out to get me. So that narrative is there. There is a sense that wherever we are, be it in urban or rural environments, we are not safe. And so we have to somehow hold it together. We have to somehow, despite the fact that the majority of healthcare professionals do not look like us, we have to find a means of trusting each other and holding it together and maintain a sense of sanity in a world that speaks against us. Thank you, very powerful. Sir, you had a question? Yeah, thanks very much. I mean, it doesn't matter. I hope people can hear me. The most important thing to understand ultimately is that people feel invisible, right? There's psychology of invisibility. We are one of the whitest states in the country. And yet in many ways, we have a lot of progressive principles. So we have this kind of incredible kind of contradiction of who we are. And the point is number one to start with is that there is $3.8 million available right now, folks know in the state of Vermont, for folks to become mental health counselors. It's pretty exciting. People know I just found that out. So that's available right now. So people want to get into the mental health field in terms of becoming a counselor. People who are African American or Latino or minorities, that's an opportunity to do that. So the good thing now is that financially, that's not an issue. But the biggest issue as the Reverend talked about is the issue of narrative, right? And so basically for a lot of folks have a certain narrative. We have epigenetics. We have a lot of different components of who we are as human beings. But the enormity of the anxiety that people feel when your quote not like us, that is very deep and profound. So I would kind of leave you in this, in a sense, we have an epidemic of loneliness. Doesn't matter you're black, white, Hispanic, Asian, other. That's a huge issue right now. The federal government is working on tackling it. This is such a serious problem. We saw it's so crazy. It's so bad that in fact it's like literally smoking 15 cigarettes a day as a result of what the Surgeon General talks about, right? So the point is what we need to do now is work together and get into communities and work in just, and even talk. Here's the most important. Unfortunately, I think the life is unfortunately Donald Trump will be president of United States in 2024. Scary as this is, that's just a reality. So the point is what do we do to work together in a community, work together and find people who are like us, who are not like us and sweat and get nervous and anxious. They say are we ultimately like everybody else in terms of the 80% as compared to 20? So that's kind of my thoughts. I appreciate you guys. Appreciate all the work that you do. Thank you. Thank you. So, and I guess that leads me to a question too of community, right? So building community in Vermont, particularly I think where people of color can feel comfortable, can feel heard. You know, how does that happen? How does that happen in a way that there can be because that can be a big support for mental health? So how can that happen? We'll start with you. Oh, I wish you wouldn't start. I wouldn't, I'll go other ways. Thought that, Kim, whatever? I'll start. Yeah, go ahead. I think first you have to understand we're not a monolith. That's number one. So we're not all the same, you know. We have different experiences. We have different lived experiences. I look around the room and understanding also the weight that we bear as people of color. One reflection I have is we are the work, we do the work, we live the work and we're responsible for the work. And that's a heavy burden for people of color. And so when you're talking about building community, I think also coming from the fourth white estate, right? I born and raised and then coming here, what I always found profound as the only one in the room as the gentleman talked about is I watch white people from all over the world come together and you can figure out how to say very complex Russian names and share experiences and look across the room and see someone that's white and you will play sports and through sports you build relationships and you do all these things. I was an Olympic athlete and Olympic coach and they talk about bonding and sports, right? And all these different things and what was most profound to me that no matter how good I am, I'm a two-time national champion, seven times all American. I can't think of a time where my teammates actually were my friends, right? When we're in this community, a lot of times it's black and brown people, you say we're your friends but are you our friends? And so when you're talking about creating a community of belonging, are you actually in community with us? Or is it always us extending coming to your spaces, coming to your activities? What work have you done to learn about something different? What have you done to create a space of belonging? And that starts with leaning in to understand, leaning in with curiosity, believing what we say when we say it, being comfortable with discomfort and not always making us carry the load, right? But also believing, I say this again, believing us when we say it and then actually doing something about it. I see and I watch white people of all different face of backgrounds be able to find commonality, but for some reason over all these 400 years that black people be here, we're still asking questions about your hair, right? We can't figure that out. We think you, in the medical field, we still think our skin is thicker. We haven't quite figured out that the postdoc machine works differently with brown skin and so we needed to do something different during COVID. We have people, world-renowned doctors online trying to figure out why black people are on their phone when they're in the emergency room because you don't listen and so we need someone to speak for us, right? We need to record it. And so I would ask the majority to think about how do you actually build relationship to people that look like you, the social construct of white, right? That you can be in community with someone that comes here from clear across Europe because their skin happens to be white but you struggle finding commonality just because my skin is brown, right? We probably have more in common as people that have been in the legal field, right? Then I would, would someone recently come here but you expect me to be, to understand every dynamic of every one because of the color of their skin. And so I would ask you just to start to think, learn, educate, lean in with curiosity, take the time to learn about who is in Vermont and then start creating the space of welcoming. We are foreign to your world. Welcome us. Learn about us. I think leading with humility too. Absolutely. It's also an important thing. And Tato, do you have a thought on that as well? I think you've really all said it all, living, leading with humility. As a black woman doing leadership during COVID-19, I learned a lot. I felt that, never thought that would happen in my lifetime in Vermont. I had to go to meetings every morning and fight. Fight for people of color to have access to COVID-19 vaccine, to have access to testing, to make sure that people understood what was going on. And then the burden was put on us and we were more than willing to take that responsibility of making sure that the space for people to get tested, to get vaccinated. And every day I wake up, I woke up and I still wake up, I think about how can we work together as a community? Because I do believe in building communities wherever we are. And I don't believe in the segregated community. I believe that as Vermonters, black, white, however we see ourselves, that we can come together and make our space liveable and we can work together as parents, we can work together as professionals, we can work together as students and make our living spaces comfortable. That doesn't happen. What I see in an environment where I get funded to do my work is that in fact, say where there's money is here is the money. What can you do with the money? It's not so much. What can we all do to build this community? So I sincerely believe in the idea of us going back to the basics of learning about each other, of sharing knowledge, sharing power, sharing spaces of decision making so that we can make this place a better and livable space. So I believe in communities and I do believe that we can do it. I have seen things happen in Vermont that I have not seen in other states. So I have so much confidence in all of us. Thank you. We'll take one more question. Yeah, we'll take one more. And then you guys can do rock, paper, scissors. I think this gentleman actually with blue was first. Sorry. Thank you. Hello. I've worked in the schools in the area last, last seven, eight years. And I haven't worked with many African American colleagues in the teaching field. And I wish that that weren't the case, that like my colleagues, like in my in staff meetings or faculty meetings, it just, it feels like it's kind of uncomfortable that like it's the demography of teachers is not more representative of the people in Chittenden County or in the United States. And I just, I wish that that weren't so. And I don't do the hiring and interviews. So I don't know a whole lot about that. But I wonder about that. And that's a wonder that I have. And I wonder if you could speak to that. It's been something actually that has been talked about and woven through. I think a lot of the comments here that I'm hearing anyway is when we think about diversity, equity and inclusion, those are phrases that get used all the time. That's training that everybody and their sister wants. They'll call and say, oh no, we need this training. Just come for an hour and tell us what to do. Because it's so simple. But the idea is that it really is about inclusion and it really is about creating community. And that's hard, right? That's hard to do for a lot of reasons. It involves a lot of humility for sure. And it's hard to be the only. It's hard to be the only in a room. And so oftentimes, and this is statistically true in the HR type world that I do, one of the jobs that turns over most in corporate America is that of the chief diversity officer and the usually black women. Why? Because they're brought into an office and it's just like, okay, fix this, right? Because we don't know, go ahead, you got this. And yet the resources aren't there, the understanding isn't there, the platform isn't there to really, and you can't expect one person to create community. So it's a really fascinating piece that everybody and their sister may be for this general idea, but building it involves inclusion and it takes time. I'll give you the microphone, sir. And then we'll have our final comments as well. And I think that a large percentage of people within the black and brown community, there's a growing suspicion, if not mistrust, of any organization that seeks to hire a diversity, equity, inclusion administrator because they know the kind of environment that person is coming into. It's often an environment in which the employees and the administration are saying, you come in, fix this, but there's no enthusiasm, there's no basis of strong support to make that happen. We need to remind ourselves, I think also, of a survey that the National Religious Institute produced shortly before the 2016 election. And that survey indicated that 75% of Americans, of white Americans, do not have any meaningful relation with a person of color. And that has only intensified after the 2016 and the 2020 elections. That remains so. In Vermont, that is even more intensified in that we are one of the widest states in the union. And when the majority of America becomes predominantly people of color, Upper New England will remain one of the widest states in the union, among the widest states in the union. It is interesting that the Iowa caucus is taking place also in one of the widest states in the union. That demographic, that mentality has to change. And I think part of that mentality of change will involve whites, white people, intentionally placing themselves in communities, in situations where they are not the majority. I strongly encourage students applying for college, white students, apply for an HBCU college, an historically black university or college. Place yourself in situations where you are not the majority. And you have to learn and grow and evolve in situations where you are the minority. Give it a try. Thank you. Jules, I'm gonna give you a shot at this because I missed you a couple of times there. No, it's okay. I think the question about educators of color is right on the money because I think when you're a little kid in school, the people in power are the teachers and the other staff members, right? They're the folks running the show. And my kid goes to a Burlington school where I cannot think of an educator of color. And that has been so hard for me to get over because I think what is this little girl seeing? Who is running the show in her world and it's a bunch of white people? And so I would love to see us do better in that regard. I would love to see us do better building structures where people of color can find community, people of color can see themselves in position of power, can see themselves as being in charge and see themselves as the baseline. And I think in schools, part of that structure means people of color in positions of power and authority as the adults in the room. And I think in our government, it means different things, having people of color being represented. So I think it's like whether you're in school or you're in the state house, I think the answer is kind of the same, building representative structures that can represent who we really are. Thank you, Tara. Don't really have much to say except, I think sometimes when I think about this is just the reflection of the population. I've seen professionals come in Vermont and leave almost immediately because of lack of support because of bearing the burden to effect the change that has been there forever. And I think I'll go back to let's work together to make a change, let's advocate together, let it not be for one organization or one individual at the city council to figure out how the city is gonna run in the DI office. This is our work, it's ours, this is our state, this is our country, this is our global village. Let's do this together. I just continue to concur with Tata. It's really, really important as I reflect on what he was talking about, about the heavy burden, especially for black women in this space of equity or DEI. Just this week, the president of Harvard is a black woman and then the vice president of student affairs at Lincoln University actually committed suicide bearing the burden of this work. And so I say again, when it comes to people of color but specifically too oftentimes the most marginalized which are black and brown women, you have to understand we are the work, we have to do the work, we have to live the work and we have to be responsible for the work. And so it's a heavy burden to bear with very little support and resources. Actively understanding that the country is trying to actually dismantle the work as you're trying to lift it up. And so what I would ask the people of Vermont to realize is Vermont is not, it's a part of the United States of America. And so when things are happening in other places, just because it's not happening here, it doesn't mean you don't have to work to make sure it doesn't get to your doorstep. So as we're banning books across the US, as we're dismantling access to education as we are closing offices on equity, when we dismantle equity, it impacts us all. And so just really being active and thinking about, again, how we build these inclusive and equitable communities that as Tatos said so eloquently, we all have to do it together. This is not something that you can just cut a check and say, hey, make a community, get included. It really has to be the work that comes along with that. Get over to AALV and not just give them a check, that's great, keep giving the check, keep giving the check. But also go and volunteer and work to serve. I'm gonna leave you with a quote from Dr. King. He talks about, you know, everyone talks about this day of service. And the quote that sits with me is, everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love. And so when we get to the heart of who we are, if we leave with love, compassionate understanding and the ability to serve, we can create a community of what we dream or what his dream was. Yeah, thank you. I think that that's an amazing quote for us to kind of end on. I think when I think about what you just said there too, it is, isn't that our job to be in service to other people, right? That's the tradition I learned in a predominantly white state and a predominantly white family and those things, but I think it takes on a role where we need to stretch ourselves. You know, we need to stretch ourselves and we can't just say, oh yes, that's fine. Oh, it's nice to meet you. It's we have to be in service to one another. And if we know there's a part of our community that is suffering, that is needing community, literally just that and not just that check, but some help, isn't that part of what we do? And so, any other further comments? Do you have anything else you want to add? The only comment I have left is to, first of all, thank you. Thank you, Karen, and all the panelists here for participating in this effort. And really to encourage people, especially here in Vermont, and I emphasize the fact that even though we are one of the whitest states in the union, we are also small enough to get to know one another and to get to know our elected officials as well as our neighbors next door in trying to advocate for change and being the change. And so I really encourage you to take seriously your citizenship as a citizen of the state. Well said, and Patrick, we want to thank you as well for bringing these opportunities to us to have meaningful conversations like this. I think they are helpful to all of us. So thank you to my fellow folks, thank you. So thank you, Karen, and once again, on a day like this there's so much that we can talk about, only if time permitted we could talk about the disproportionate number of minorities of Africans, African-Americans, incarcerated in the prison systems in Vermont, there's so much we can talk about but I just want to take the opportunity to ask you to give the panelists and the moderator another round of applause. Thank you. Thank you guys, thank you very much.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCKLQ6im4zE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCu3Ri8DI1RQLdVtU12uIp1Q	Jeff Boudreau, President, Dell Technologies	In an increasingly digital world, protecting organizational data is more important and more challenging than ever. Learn how Dell is responding to customer needs with a better approach to multicloud data protection.	[ "SiliconANGLE Media Inc", "SiliconANGLE", "SiliconANGLE Inc", "theCUBE", "Wikibon", "John Furrier", "Dave Vellante" ]	2022-11-17T18:14:47	2024-02-05T08:42:18	372	pcazFAPgFFY	We're here with Jeff Pedro and Travis Peehill. We're going to dig into the details about Dell's big data protection announcement. Guys, good to see you. Thanks for coming in. Good to see you. Thank you for having us. You're very welcome. Let's start off, Jeff, with the high level. You know, I'd like to talk about the customer, what challenges they're facing. You're talking to customers all the time. What are they telling you? Sure, as you know, we do, we spend a lot of time with our customers, specifically listening, learning, understanding their use cases, their pain points within their specific environments. They tell us a lot. No surprise to any of us that data is a key theme that they talk about. It's one of their most important assets. They need to extract more value from that data to fuel their business models, their innovation engines, their competitive edge. So they need to make sure that that data is accessible, it's secure, and it's recoverable, especially in today's world with the increased cyber attacks. Okay, so maybe we could get into some of those challenges. I mean, when you talk about things like data sprawl, what do you mean by that? What should people know? Sure, so for those big three themes, I'd say, you know, you have data sprawl, which is the big one, which is all about the massive amounts of data. It's the growth of that data, which is growing at an unprecedented rates. It's the gravity of that data and the reality of the multi-cloud sprawl. So stuff is just everywhere, right? Which increases that service, a tax base for cyber criminals. And by gravity, you mean the data's there and people don't want to move it? It's everywhere, right? And so when it lands someplace that you think edge core or cloud, it's there, and that's something we have to help our customers with. Okay, so it's nuanced because complexity has other layers. What are those layers? Sure, when we talk to our customers, they tell us complexity is one of their big themes and specifically it's around data complexity. We talked about that growth and gravity of the data. We talk about multi-cloud complexity and we talk about multi-cloud sprawl. So multiple vendors, multiple contracts, multiple tool chains, and none of those work together in this multi-cloud world. Then that drives their security complexity. So we talk about that increased attack surface. But this really drives a lot of operational complexity for their teams. Think about we're a lack of consistency through everything. So people, process, tools, all that stuff, which is really wasting time and money for our customers. So how does that affect the cyber strategies? I mean, I've often said the CISO, now they have this shared responsibility model. They have to do that across multiple clouds. Every cloud has its own security policies and frameworks and syntax. So maybe you could double click on your perspective on that. Sure, I'd say the big challenge customers have seen is really inadequate cyber resiliency. And specifically they're feeling very exposed and today as the world, with cyber attacks being more and more sophisticated, if something goes wrong, it is a real challenge for them to get back up and running quickly. And that's why this is such a big topic for CEOs and businesses around the world. You know, it's funny, I said this in my open, I think that prior to the pandemic, businesses were optimized for efficiency. And now they're like, wow, we have to actually put some headroom to the system to be more resilient. You know, are you hearing that? Yeah, we absolutely are. I mean, the customers really, they're asking us for help, right? It's one of the big things we're learning and hearing from them. And it's really about three things. One's about simplifying IT. Two, it's really helping them to extract more value from their data. And then the third big piece is ensuring their data is protected and recoverable regardless of where it is going back to that data gravity and that very, you know, the multi-cloud world. Just recently, I don't know if you've seen it, but the global data protection, excuse me, the global data protection index. GDPI. Yes. Not to be confused with GDPR. Actually, that was released today and confirms everything we just talked about around customer challenges. But also it highlights an importance of having a very cyber, a robust cyber resilient data protection strategy. Yeah, I haven't seen the latest, but I want to dig into it. I think this, you've done this many, many years in a row. I'd like to look at the time series and see how things have changed. All right, at a high level, Jeff, can you kind of address why Dell, and from your point of view, is best suited? Sure. So we believe there's a better way or a better approach on how to handle this. We think Dell is uniquely positioned to help our customers as a one-stop shop, if you will, for that cyber resilient, multi-cloud data protection solution and needs. We take a modern, a simple and resilient approach. What does that mean? What do you mean by modern? Sure. So modern, we talk about our software-defined architecture, right? It's really designed to meet the needs not only of today, but really into the future. And we protect data across any cloud and any workload. So we have a proven track record doing this today. We have more than 1,700 customers that trust us to protect them, more than 14 exabytes of their data in the cloud today. Okay, so you said modern, simple, and resilient. What do you mean by simple? Sure. We want to provide simplicity everywhere, going back to helping with the complexity challenge. And that's from deployment to consumption to management and support. So our offers will deploy in minutes. They are easy to operate and use, and we support flexible consumption models for what other customer may desire. So traditional subscription or as a service. And when you talk about resilient, I mean, I put forth that premise, but it's hard because people say, well, that's going to cost us more, but it may, but you're going to also reduce your risk. So what's your point of view on resilience? Yeah, I think it's something all customers need. So we're going to be providing a comprehensive and resilient portfolio of cyber solutions that are secured by design. We have some unique capabilities in a combination of things like built-in immutability, physical and logical isolation. We have intelligence built in with AI-powered recovery. And just one, I guess, fun fact for everybody is we have our cyber vault is the only solution in the industry that is endorsed by Shelter Harbor that meets all the needs of the financial sector. So it's interesting when you think about the NIST framework for cybersecurity, it's all about layers. You're sort of bringing that now to data protection. Correct. All right. In a minute, we're going to come back with Travis and dig into the news. We're going to take a short break. Keep it right there.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcazFAPgFFY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

to another level so Joel Sherman here we go how's story in the New York Post talking about the Astros and you know some things that they they they have done or could have done and and what Manfred has to do check this paragraph out to me this is a game changer but this is a blight rights Joel and it is a blight that the commissioner's office should do all within its power to make sure it does not occur again and it would be folly to think that teams are into going to keep trying to push the limits in recent days I've had scouts and executives talk to me about a variety of methods they think have been or could be employed such as realistic looking electronic bandage placed on a player's body that buzzes in real time the signal what's coming one buzz for a fastball for example if the surveillance determines what type of pitch is coming one person I spoke to as ties to the Astros and said he has already had spoken to the MLB investigators if it's going even beyond the banging of the garbage can you almost have to the suspensions have to be so what do you do how I mean it's almost good band people from baseball I mean it's that level right I mean if you're if somebody has like a band around their arm that that buzzes when it's a fastball I mean that that's beyond cheating man no that's no it's exactly cheating it's not it's beyond any level of gamesmanship right it's fully into you are out and out you have a full proof plan to cheat is that cheating no no it is so the problem is we're not talking about one player one person like Pete Rose you know you throw him out of baseball you know with the black sock scandal the eight guys that participated in throwing the game you get rid of them what do you do the entire organization do you suspend all right let's see you find out that every batter participate in this every offensive player participated in this I mean are you gonna fire an entire team are you gonna spend it an entire let me throw this at you all right or is it too harsh be honest can you if you know that Jim Crane was totally complicit and knowledgeable everything going on do you pull a Donald Sterling and make himself a team all right let's say I agree with you mm-hmm it's not enough in the sense of all the other people that participated in that all right so he gets punished selling the team right and then you spend Lou now and hit Lou now hinge I mean can you ban them from baby if you're gonna make the owner sell the team that means you're throwing him out of the game right can you give a lifetime ban to the manager and the general manager all right then let's say you say oh yeah you got to do that the what do you do to the players do you ban them do you suspend them for a couple of years Michael I think the easier thing to do might be to just make them vacate the title now I don't think that works I don't think it works it doesn't work well it has to be one bit that has to be one piece of it but they want it it can't count anymore though if the cheating is this bad well they want it but but think about what you just said they want it but look at the length they went to win it so if you're admitting that we have to punish them because they took such an advantage of the fans the game the opposition the positive byproduct of the cheating was to win the championship yes they want to win money but they benefited from that and won the championship so that has to now go away has to now you can't erase people's memory all right but that's why that's fine but that's fine that's why it's not the only thing and then the banishment of the manager and the general manager and having those players that participated in some way shape or form either get banned get suspended for a year or find severely because not everybody that participated has to go at the same level as the guys that put it together now again what happens if this investigation shows that Carlos Beltran was indeed somebody that was not only on board with this but actually invented it with Cora and Hinch what do you do with them it's tough I do not want to be in Rob Manfred shoes but I think whatever his shoes are Michael he has to err on the side of over punishment rather than under punishment you can live with being too harsh but if you're too lenient it opens the door for the teams that are still doing it to continue to do it and teams that if they're desperate to try to do it you have to not just punish the Astros you have to come up with a way in which nobody would even think of ever doing this again Michael K	{ "url":

UCjjwfBhcTXlVH51EYQDQoiA	Why Tesla is Worried About China's BYD	Have you recently heard Elon Musk saying on Tesla (TSLA) stock earnings call that without trade barriers Chinese EV car makers will demolish American EV producers? One Chinese EV company, called BYD Auto, stands out. In this Tesla vs BYD video, I will take an in-depth look at who BYD is and why Elon Musk is rightly worried about Chinese EV car producers. Recently, BYD overtook Tesla Motors (TSLA) as the largest producer of electric vehicles in the world. Although most of its sales are in China (around 70%), BYD is rapidly expanding overseas. With its cost advantages, generous government subsidies and cheap EV models (e.g. BYD Seagull for a mere $11K), BYD poses significant challenges to established car markers, including Tesla. For now, 25% tariff in the US and the denial of "Buy America" tax credits keep Chinese EV car makers at bay. But, for how long? If Chinese car markers start building factories in/around the US, Tesla stock could be up for trouble.

In this video, I will talk about why electric car producers from China pose a big threat to Tesla stock long-term. As you will learn by the end of this video, Chinese EV cars are not some cheap junk. They are the real deal and Elon Musk is paying attention now, unlike 10 years ago. And one company stands out among them all, which is BYD. In 2024 BYD overtook Tesla as the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles in the world by volume. So why is this important for Tesla? Can US manufacturers of cars survive the onslaught of inexpensive Chinese electric vehicles? These are the questions I will tackle in this video. But first, let's back up and understand who BYD is. BYD was established in Shenzhen in 1995 by Wang Chuang Fu, who was a chemist by profession. At his beginning, BYD focused on manufacturing lithium-ion batteries for smartphones. Among BYD's customers were Motorola, Nokia and even Apple. After listening on Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2002, BYD's fate took a twist. They decided to pivot to cars in 2003. But at that time, Chinese government stopped issuing new licenses to car makers. So BYD had to purchase another small car manufacturer with a license. First, BYD went on with the legacy of the previous owner and produced internal combustion engine cars. But in 2008 they produced their first electric hybrid car called F3DM. Warren Buffett took a notice of that and in 2008 Berkshire Hathaway invested $230 million into BYD. And the first pure electric vehicle called BYDE6 came out in 2009. Asked about BYD during Bloomberg interview in 2011, Elon Musk laughed the company off. He said, have you seen their car? I don't think it's particularly attractive. The technology is not very strong and BYD as a company has pretty severe problems in their home turf in China. I think their focus is and rightly should be on making sure they don't die in China. Now fast forward to 2024 and BYD zipped past through Tesla. The company became the largest manufacturer of EV and hybrid vehicles in the world by units sold. In Tesla's recent earnings call, here's what Elon Musk had to say about this. If there are no trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world. They are extremely good. There are several reasons behind such star success. Like Tesla, BYD is a conglomerate that specializes in producing many things. These include EV batteries and electronic components for cars. Also like Tesla, BYD produces its own solar cell solutions and supercharging equipment for EV cars. Another factor behind BYD success is state subsidies. Of course, this is my personal opinion and I cannot verify this for sure. So keep this in mind. But here are the numbers. According to Reuters, China's subsidies for electric and hybrid vehicles amounted to 57 billion from 2016 to 2022. This greatly helped China become the world's largest producer of EVs. The China's federal authorities terminated this 11-year program in 2022. But state and local authorities likely still offer subsidies to attract investments. For instance, BYD received 1.78 billion of yuan in state subsidies in the first half of 2023, according to Nikkei. This roughly translates into $260 million. Can you imagine the numbers before 2023? Tesla also received subsidies for its EV manufacturing from federal or state governments in hundreds of millions of dollars, too. For instance, Reuters estimated that the Nevada Gigafactory got $750 million in tax breaks. So it's not like one country is good and another country is bad. Both countries pursue industrial policies with general subsidies. So this is nothing new. But what's different about China is this. China initiated a national industrial policy for EVs early on. And they were very systematic and methodical about it with specific end goals in mind. Conversely, the US didn't really have any industrial policies for EVs per se. It was more of a patchwork of tax reliefs here and there. As of now, China controls many aspects of battery production, especially materials inputs. True, most of the lithium is extracted in Australia or Chile. But China controls over 60% of processing raw lithium into battery-grade chemicals. And China built massive industrial complex and supply chain around EV manufacturing with huge economies of scale. As commentators suggest, this allowed EV manufacturers to have distinct cost advantages to do this. And these cost advantages can be as much as 20% over rivals such as Tesla. And that's big. Let's come back to BYD again. The real breakthrough for the company came in 2020, though. BYD unveiled a so-called blade battery based on lithium-iron phosphate. The company made a significant progress with this type of battery due to its decent energy density and high levels of safety. In 2023 BYD manufactured almost 3 million cars of which 1.57 million were pure battery EVs. In comparison, Tesla manufactured 1.84 million pure battery EVs. So in principle, Tesla still maintains the lead, but BYD is narrowing the distance very fast. To be fair, most of BYD's units sold are cheaper models popular in China. Also, over 70% of its electric and hybrid vehicle sales are in China. But this is gradually changing as BYD expands abroad. Here's a quick comparison of financial performance for BYD and Tesla. We see that BYD is narrowing Tesla's lead in performance terms. BYD still lacks Tesla in terms of total sales numbers and profitability, but it is getting there. The thing that will appeal most in many markets is BYD's low-priced vehicles. Both BYD and Tesla compete head-on with mid- and upper-class vehicles. They price them more or less the same based on performance specs in many markets. We can, of course, argue about the quality comparison, because some people say that BYD is neck-and-neck with Tesla, while others can say that, oh no, it's way far off. So keep this in mind, but BYD has one thing that Tesla doesn't. And that is low-priced models that Tesla doesn't currently manufacture. And this comes extremely handy, especially in emerging markets. For example, take BYD's Siegel model. Siegel is a hatchback model with four seats and five-door configuration. The price is astonishing $11,000. True, this model has a much lower driving range of up to 250 miles and is a bit tight on space. But its low price point is the most appealing factor in many developing markets. The car is arguably perfect for urban environment. Tesla's lowest-priced vehicle is Model 3 with a price tag of around $40,000 before fees, taxes and zero upgrades. Tesla has plans for a cheaper compact crossover model with a price between $25,000 to $30,000. That's a move in the right direction. But still, will this be enough to compete with BYD in emerging markets? While Tesla is probably ignoring this low-priced EV segment on purpose, at some point such strategy may backfire. True, the profit margins are probably better in mid- or upper-class vehicles. But there are just so many of them that you can sell to wealthy customers. As for the low-priced EVs, they can reach wider masses and in many other markets. And moreover, BYD can build a brand identity with these vehicles if they prove reliable. And later, they can upsell their higher-priced models in the same markets. Moreover, BYD is ramping up sales overseas. They have factories in Brazil, India, Japan and Hungary. The popularity of BYD's vehicles is growing in Europe too. They will likely focus more on developing countries going forward, especially Latin America and India. But they also announced plans to build a factory in Indonesia, so a focus on Southeast Asia is another direction that BYD is taking. Because of rapid expansion abroad, countries are taking notice of BYD. Some even complain of underpricing. For instance, the European Commission launched an investigation in 2023 against Chinese EV imports. They claim that these imports benefited from generous state subsidies. If proven EV imports from China may face higher tariffs, they already taxed at 10%, so expect more. One market that BYD is still to crack is Tesla's home turf, the US. As it stands now, the US consumers cannot buy inexpensive EVs made by BYD. Donald Trump imposed a 25% tax tariff on Chinese auto imports. Joe Biden affirmed this policy and denied buy America tax credits to these cars. So such steps made it very hard for BYD to sell its cars in America. But the funny thing is that with cost advantages and state subsidies, BYD may be able to absorb these punitive tariffs at some point and offer its vehicles in America. At least hypothetically speaking, the US may have to up its tariffs again to counter this. But this is not easy. China may impose its own higher tariffs on US auto imports. All this presents many tradeoffs. Keep the tariffs and US consumers are paying higher prices for EVs. Conversely, remove tariffs and a flat of cheap EVs from China will hurt domestic production. The consequences are lost manufacturing capacity, layoffs or fewer alternatives. As for fewer alternatives, we know where monopolies lead to possible embargoes or even higher prices. You do not need to look far for China's industrial monopoly. Take for example rare earth minerals that are used in many advanced electronics applications. China controls over 70% of rare earth elements production. And there were many instances when China weaponized this industrial monopoly against other countries. Again, I'm not saying that someone is good or someone is bad. The US uses dollar as a financial weapon against its enemies, rightly justified or not. All I'm saying is that such reliance on China poses many security questions. So it becomes understandable why America and Europe protect their car manufacturers. Finally, BYD and other Chinese car makers can start assembling EVs in the US or around its border to avoid tariffs. It's very likely that the manufacturing cost in the US for EVs will be higher due to raw materials imports or more expensive labor. The whole reason behind low prices for BYD's cars is cheap labor at home and its own designed and manufactured batteries. The funny thing is that even Tesla uses BYD's batteries in its own cars. For example, Model Y is the case in point, which is somewhat ironic. The bottom line is this. Both BYD and Tesla can coexist, but BYD is making it hard for Tesla's expansion plans abroad and especially in emerging markets. There BYD can outmaneuver Tesla with its more affordable options. So I think Elon Musk focused on producing cheaper EV models as they move in the right direction. Once BYD establishes in developing regions with its own factors, it'll be much harder for Tesla and others to compete with it. BYD cut its teeth in China and they're rapidly expanding in India, Brazil, Indonesia and other developing markets. Many commentators compare Tesla to Apple of EVs, while BYD is more like a mass-market Android producer. But I wouldn't discount them, they have their own luxury vehicle lineup that competes with Tesla directly. By the way, this video is no way a comprehensive take on EVs market. We may say that the EV market is experiencing a so-called winter or slowdown, especially in the US. And this will be a topic for my next video. So stay tuned for that and subscribe to my channel.

UC5ONmll9MYDCWmSTOZY1d7A	Motivation in Learning	This video discusses the importance of taking student motivation into account when designing courses. Featuring: Dan Gillis (University of Guelph), Maristela Petrovic-Dzerdz (Carleton University), Steve Joordens (University of Toronto), Joy Mighty (Carleton University). CCBY Carleton University https://carleton.ca/cuopen/?p=254	null	2019-01-28T19:38:59	2024-02-05T06:23:34	188	pcq0354ix1U	Motivation for me is absolutely key for students and development of courses. There are many courses that I've taught on the math and stats side, but also on the computer science side, where the students, if they're not engaged, they just stop showing up. And that becomes really problematic because a lot of the material, especially in computer science, that they're learning is brand new. If they're not showing up to class, it's not necessarily the case that there's a textbook associated with it to actually give them the information that they need. So for me, motivation is absolutely imperative to build into the course. Instructors are knowledge experts. And sometimes, or usually, they're very passionate about their topic. And it is sometimes hard for them to accept that not all students who come to their class are as well. So yes, it is challenging for every instructor. And it becomes particularly challenging in online environment because instructor is not present in the classroom, physically present in the classroom anymore. And so here she has to use some sophisticated strategies in the course design to address motivation. I think you have to take student motivation into account wherever you're teaching in class as well. So I think the course that I taught called Information Management was a required course for most students who took the Bachelor of Commerce. And so what that translated to was there wasn't a high level of motivation because it wasn't an elective. So people had to be there. And in a lot of cases, they didn't know why. And other than someone else had picked this course that I have to take if I want to graduate. And so if I didn't understand that going in, I learned it really quickly because people had misperceptions about the course. Student motivation is a tricky thing. I mean, what we all want are these intrinsically motivated students who are in our classroom because they want to eat up the subject matter. Unfortunately, we find ourselves often confronted with a student who just wants a really good mark, not even because they want a really good mark, but because they want a really good job, not even because they want a really good job, but because they want a lot of money. And so their motivations get a little messed up and materialistic, and that sometimes pushes them to much more shallow ways of addressing the course. What we are actually saying when we talk about motivation, we're saying to what extent should you design your course so that students will persist, will stay with the course, will be engaged. That's what we're talking about, student engagement. And so it's really important to take into account what are some of the things that would engage students in this material.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcq0354ix1U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Usually I do all the questioning, but today we have a man from Ivory Coast and a colleague of mine in the law who will be questioning me about the all-important topic of Roe V. Wade and what's going to happen next. We remember that the decision that was leaked by probably a clerk within the Supreme Court, a very unusual occurrence, is not the final step. The final decision will be made in June whether or not to overturn the very important case, granting women's rights to their own bodies of Roe V. Wade. So here is Eric, who's going to grill me, I guess. No, I'm going to ask questions from the perspective of the public. And also hopefully I will carry the questions that the new Americans from which communities I'm from will think about. So exactly what are we talking about? What is Roe V. Wade? All right. I think there's a lot of misunderstandings first out there, and both, by the way, people who are pro-choice and people who are not pro-choice. Roe V. Wade was decided in 1973 in a landmark case in which women's rights were recognized and women's rights to be protected equally with men under the law. That is the argument that is never heard, but I've listened to the argument. Sometime I would like to play a tape of that argument, which I have, that was made in the U.S. Supreme Court by a very young woman by the name of Sarah Weddington, who represented another woman, Norm McCovey, I think her name is, who wanted to get abortion in Texas and could not. The justices ask her, Sarah Weddington, what constitutional basis do you have? And she cited the 14th Amendment, and I want our viewers and you to listen carefully to what the 14th Amendment is. The 14th Amendment says, all persons born in the United States of America are citizens of the United States and are entitled to the equal protection of its laws. How does that pertain to abortion? That is the only kind of, one of the main reasons that Roe V. Wade was granted, because the justices looked at that and said, yes, women, born women, are citizens of the United States and they have the same right to make their medical decisions between themselves and the doctors that men do. So in this instance, it's like the right to make the decision to have an abortion. Right. Okay. As Howard Dean, our governor once said, the issue of abortion is essentially, should be a private one between woman and her doctor, period. Or a woman and her provider of mental health counseling or in order to take a pill or whatever. The issue is a medical decision made between a woman and whomever she wants to consult. Right. And isn't that the way it is with men? Yeah, it is. Okay. In this case, the court said, okay, you know, this has a constitutional base. Yes. Yes. But at first, this hearing in the Roe V. Wade matter in 73 did not, it went for two days, which is unusual. She was asked back, Sarah Weddington was asked back to make her argument again, because the court says to her, where is it in the constitution that a woman has a right to an abortion? And of course, as the right argues, there's no mention of abortion. There's no mention either of a vasectomy, either. There's no mention of appendectomy either. There's no mention of any specific medical procedure. But she had to find a basis that would allow women to make their own medical decisions in privacy. And so that the court said is the 14th amendment, which said all persons, then you get into a definition of what a person is, what is according to you, what do you think a person is? A person, it's someone that is bored. Yes. Yes, okay. That's right. And that's what the 14th amendment says, all persons born in the United States are citizens of the United States and are entitled to equal protection of the law. You'll notice, though, that no one anymore is making that argument. No one. No one. No one. And it's really a mistake. It's a mistake on the part of the pro-choice people, and it is not a mistake on the anti-choice people who can argue, as they do, where does abortion appear in the Constitution because it doesn't. So at this time, just quickly, how was it received by the population? When victory. It might have been a... But many people, you've got to understand abortion is the illegal abortion. It's the leading cause, one of the leading causes of the death of women. I don't think men or other people who are anti-choice realize that at the time it doesn't... Anything they do is not going to outlaw abortion. No matter what happens, women are going to get abortions, right? Don't you think? Don't you think? All right. So you either do it legally or you don't. You either do it safely or you don't. And for centuries, illegal abortions had been killing women. So technically, was it... I mean, this decision by the court was a precedent. Yes. What are the consequences of such a precedent now? For years and years and years, although there was a lot of opposition, and there was a lot of opposition from people who called themselves pro-life, and they organized fiercely, and they have been quite successful. Nevertheless, the decision stood, Roe v. Wade stood, and then in a further decision called the Casey decision, it was also decided that Roe v. Wade was precedent and should not be overturned, although abortions could be regulated. Yeah, because I heard that the lawmakers are talking about codifying... Right, well, that's different. Yeah, that's different. Okay, so here you have at the highest court of the land saying, yes, women have the same constitutional rights as a man because they're born people. Number one. However, it's very unusual, but the court does have the right to overturn cases even though they're precedent. They did, for instance, in the Plessy v. Ferguson case, Plessy v. Ferguson in 1868 or so said that it was okay for segregation. That was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, but it's very, very unusual. There's a principle called starry decisis, which means that the decision stands. This time, though, the judges are majority, anti-woman, anti-choice, and they've said in this leaked opinion that Roe should be overturned, and I think it's probably pretty likely that it will be. To play the devil's advocate, is it a bad law? What can we reproach to Roe v. Wade? I'm not going to talk about whether it's bad law. I don't think it was bad law because it was based on the 14th Amendment. You've got to understand that there's an opposing argument from the anti, I call them the anti-woman source, the anti-woman argues that it is bad law because they'll continue to beat the drum. Abortion is not listed in the Constitution. Why don't you let legislatures decide this issue? That's the other argument they're using. I'll get back to that. Tucker Carlson, for instance, believes that people should vote on it. I'm going to ask you a question. Do people have the right to vote on any fundamental human right? No, I don't think so. I'm asking you as a... Yeah, go ahead. No, I don't think that people should vote on what is my right or not. An issue that is not maybe pertaining to human rights, maybe, but my choice is my decision. Okay. For instance, that's what Carlson and others on the right are arguing. Leave it up to the states, leave it up to people's vote. You cannot leave fundamental rights up to a vote. That means the majority could vote. You don't have any more right to free speech. You don't have any right to bodily integrity. You don't have any right to freedom of the press or freedom of religion. You can't go to church anymore. It looks like the Taliban's in Afghanistan. I'm thinking about the states. So a lot of them kind of were waiting for that, you know, overturn of Roe v. Wade to make their move. Right. And in this instance, a lot of them have like what they call, I have to look for, the trigger law. What exactly it is? A trigger law, as I understand it, is the minute that it's overturned, then a law is going to be immediately put into place, which bans abortion. Let me go back to that. I would ask these people, how are you going to ban abortion? And this is the way it was done in the past, even in Vermont. There was always on the books, I think probably everywhere, a law which stated that a doctor broke the law by performing an abortion, the doctor only. So a doctor could be put in jail or penalized by heavy fines. If he could have been found to have performed an abortion. However, now listen to this, this is really important. It was never a crime for a woman to do it herself. Ever. What a confusion he might have. Okay, right. So there was, in a sense, no real crime committed. Not really. It wasn't a homicide crime. If a woman could do it and not be punished, why couldn't a doctor do it? So that case came to the Vermont Supreme Court in 1972, before Roe. Did you know that? You did? Yeah, we had that discussion a few days ago. I was quite surprised. Why were you so surprised? No, but I was kind of puzzled by the contradiction between the doctor being able to be sued. Not sued, put in jail. No, no, put in jail. And the lady nods. Okay. So that was what was decided. In 1972, there was a case called Beecham versus Leahy, our own Patrick Leahy. And Beecham was a doctor who wanted to perform an abortion and was not allowed to. That went to the Supreme Court of Vermont. And in that, I was there the day that that was decided. I wasn't a lawyer, but I was sitting there watching. And all the men came out, and what they said was exactly what you said. Too much of a contradiction. We're going to basically repeal that law. So then there was no criminal part of abortion. A doctor could then perform an abortion. Right? So past Roe versus Wade, how the states or, I mean, the communities where he wasn't welcome to have abortion reacted, how did they react? In Vermont? No, outside of Vermont, for example, there are states that have historically and fundamentally against this right. So Roe v. Wade came. So how did they manage to... Those states in which there were people, maybe majorities, maybe not, who didn't like Roe v. Wade, began to pressure legislatures to pass restrictions to say, the father has rights over this fetus, or your boyfriend does, or that abortion had to be performed in hospitals rather than clinics. They tried to restrict abortion with various degrees of success. That's how they did it. But they really pressured to have a president elected that would be able to control the nominations to the court. And they succeeded in that. They got Donald Trump, and he got on the court, that guy, Kavanaugh. Who was anti-choice, I think. But now the main question is how and then what are the strategies to maintain women's rights? The fundamental women's right that is being taken away, if that Supreme Court decision is passed. All right. So if the Supreme Court overturns it, and please remember that this decision was a draft decision and it's not the final one. If it is overturned completely, it's not banned, abortion is not banned, the issue then returns to each and every state. And then we have a chance to make laws about it or not. In Vermont, there is the attempt to include in our law the codification of Roe v. Wade. In other words, the language of Roe v. Wade, allowing abortion has been put into the language of Vermont law. Also in the fall, Vermont's having a constitutional amendment of Vermont's constitution to allow abortion, to put in some kind of an amendment. I think that's really iffy, though, not so certain. In every other state, however, if it's overturned, many other states will produce their own laws. Maybe they'll go back to a complete ban on doctors performing abortion. That's what I think. And that's trouble because then the nation is split. And then, I think then certain states will be a mecca for that and other states will be places to avoid, basically, if you're a woman or a girl. But I also heard that the idea of banning travels in regard to... Your fundamental right under the constitution is to travel, period. I suppose they can really try to do that, to ban travel, would they do it? It's impossible. In my day, we're talking about that with the vaccines. So it means that, for example, if someone wants to come to Vermont from the states that ban, you know, if that person comes here and then it's like established that that person had an abortion in Vermont, would they have any way to... Go after her? No, not in their own state, no. I doubt it. How would they know? This is going to become, I mean, you got to understand that there's been violence connected with this struggle a lot. I was a part of a big demonstration where the anti-women choice people had invaded the Vermont Women's Health Center and locked themselves with bicycle locks to the file cabinets. All these men locked to the file cabinets. Can you believe this? This was astounding. And I went out there just to watch and to see if anything illegal, which it was happening. And I mean, it was a natural physical invasion of the clinic, but there have been clinics blown up. Yeah, blown up. Yeah, yeah. And doctors who perform abortions murdered with high-powered rifles, right across the lake. You have to also understand that in the other case, I mean, in the opposite camp, you know, there have been also violence against those who opposed, for example. No, where's that been? Tell me, give me some instances. There was one this weekend. Yeah, this weekend. But you tell me others. Well, in any case, you know, it looks like that issue is more of a politic issue than, you know, it's very political. It's very unfortunate. Like seeing it from someone who comes from another country, you know, whatever laws here sometimes and most of the times have some implication for countries that receive AIDS and do business with the U.S. If some such things happen here, there's a chance that countries over there will have to follow these kind of rules. Why? I mean, I... The foolish if they do. Yeah. I know that, I know that, for example, under Donald Trump, you know, some of the money that we're going towards contraception. Emily Pallin, contraception. That's the way, you know, kind of, you know, halted. So is there a way and or until it is in the U.S. Constitution, there's no way to blackmail other countries? Blackmail other countries. The U.S. Constitution pertains to our country. To our countries. Period. But, you know, there have been attempts at the U.N. level to deny funding for family planning that are, that are the U.N. funds in Africa in particular. There are all these religious objections to even having people have contraception in foreign countries through the U.N. And I think the United States has participated in those bands. I mean, there's a heavy duty, as you probably know, Roman Catholic presence in Africa, correct? And I think they have argued against even contraception, haven't they? They do. I mean, they have that idea. My question is, there is a lot of, you know, debate about, you know, the, I mean, abortion, but like less about how we can fight the root causes of abortion. Which are what? Sex. You want to fight sex? No, not sex, but maybe more of, you know, sexual education, more of, you know, access to contraception. Yeah, of course. I'll tell you one country which has been very progressive on women's rights, and that's Cuba. They've had, and Cuban women have had the right to contraception and abortion for a very long time in Cuba. And the standard of women's status in Cuba is very high. If you look at a country like where abortion isn't allowed, women's status is very low. Because this is what happens when a woman has no power over her own pregnancies. She gets pregnant every nine months, doesn't she? Produces these huge families. No one can support them. Back to the Supreme Court, and this is a question that's deroding my spirit. Like, it looks like we're going towards any kind of rule of law that is heavily backed by people's philosophy code. I mean, I mean, yeah, religion or, you know, isn't it, you know, some kind of... Look at that. We got the court, as someone says, elections have consequences, correct? So everybody has known forever that the Republican Party had at least part of it. Not all, but part of it is interested in overturning Roe v. Wade. Donald Trump said it over and over. Now, I'm not a person who hated Donald Trump at all because I didn't. I didn't vote for him because of this. This was one of the reasons. But he said over and over, I am going to appoint pro-life judges. That's what he said. He won. He did it. Democracy is in danger. No. Why is it? How is that democracy in danger? I mean, he was elected. Yeah, no, no, no, no. But if now you have to appoint judges... You always did. According, yeah. Like the only way to fight now is like we're no longer fighting, you know, around elections. We're going to... Always did. ...the Supreme Court. Always. And then trying to... That's why... That's what they call court packing? No. There's nine... No, no, no, no. But that is what... What some of the Democrats want to do. They're very unhappy that right now that the conservatives control the court. So they want to make more justices that will obey them. That's not a good idea either. You know, the good idea is to make sure you know what you're doing when you vote for these people who have become president. The Constitution also can be called upon when it's good for one and then rejected when it's not. Of course. Because that Constitution was written like when the country was dominated by male... Still is. ...white male. White. And even a friend reminded me that a black person was counting for three-quarter of a man. Yes. And there's a story behind that. So, but how can this Constitution... Three-fifth. Yeah, three-fifth. How can this Constitution still be like pertinent, you know, to... Yeah. You don't understand that. It outlines the... That's all been amended. First of all, black people, by the same amendment. You know when that amendment was passed to the 14th? Do you have any idea? Very long time ago. And it wasn't very historical. I think it was... It was 18, I think, 68, right after the Civil War. Okay. So, the big question right after our Civil War was, what legal position did slaves... Were slaves going to have? It was very uncertain. They'd been property before that. So, under Abraham Lincoln and then the presidents after them passed three important amendments during Reconstruction, the 13th, abolished slavery. The 14th said, what I said is said, all persons born in the United States are citizens. Who did that mainly pertain to? Ex-slaves. Yeah. But also women because at that time women also were like... No, they decided later that women were people and allowed them to vote. That was the 19th amendment. Then it's the same spirit that today is like denying women the right to decide. That's right. I mean, because when you're deciding, Roe v. Wade, you're not really deciding the fate of the fetus. The fetus is within a woman's body. The main question, and this is the question that I think has to be answered, who decides who is the best decision maker for that fetus? Who should decide the fate of that fetus? The government. The pregnant woman, not pregnant person. The pregnant woman, a government bureaucrat, a husband, who should really decide the fate of that unborn fetus? Who? Who would you trust best to make that decision? The woman and her doctor. Yeah. Or the woman. The woman. Period. Right? Some opponent to abortion would say that it's like if you were giving a blank check or so forth. Who? To a woman. Gee whiz. That's not such a bad idea. Is it? A blank check to a woman who's poor? That'd be terrific. In my mind. But what are you talking about? What do you mean? No, but you know that people would overdo it. Overdo what? And how? Replace in a way of being careful. I'm just playing the devil's advocate. You can do what you want, but I'm asking you the same question. Who should decide that? Who? Tell me. The woman and her doctor. The women, but you know with the advice or the best. They don't have to get the advice of a doctor either. They can decide the day after they get pregnant to take a pill. Right? Yeah. So I'm telling you, I'm asking you again, the core value is and the core question is who should decide if it's a moral question. I think it's a medical question. But let's say it is a moral question. Give the religious people an inch, okay? If it's a moral question, who's the best person to make those moral judgments? The person. I mean the woman herself. Yes, exactly. Because a woman has sense. She's got brain power. She has morality. She's a moral agent. She's the only person that can make that decision. So at the end of the day everybody is in his own conscience, the person to make that decision according to whatever you know, believe or you know, philosophy. And if I say to all the men, if you don't want to get abortion, don't do it. You go and or to all the women or to the world. If a person, a pregnant woman wants to keep a child, that to me is also a very fine and helpful decision. I like having kids in the world. I do. I think it's very healthy. But it's up to the mother. Yeah. A foolish question. I mean, if that is overturned, is there a way to bring it back and push forward? Probably not. But there is a way to make all the states safe. And that's what Vermont is doing. And this fall is going to be on the ballot in Vermont of whether or not to amend the constitution of Vermont to accept abortion into its constitution. But the law has also codified Roe v. Wade language here in the state of Vermont. But that's really the plan B. I would hope that it's not overturned. If it's overturned, however, I would hope to keep every single state protected of women's rights. And that's a struggle that's going to be ongoing. Because if you think about it, the oldest hierarchy in the world, isn't it even between men and women? And it isn't male over female. That is the oldest and the least changeable. So if you believe in women's rights, if you believe that women are equal to men, then we're going to have to go fight it every generation, it would seem to me. Or not. What do you think? I think that, you know... What about Ivory Coast? Is it... Ivory Coast is... Like the French? Yeah, it's like the French. It's, you know, it's a right, but it's still not a right. You don't really know. But the French allow it. The French allow it. So Ivory Coast also, you know, does, but... And then viewed from France, that debate here is that of, according to a friend of mine, that of the middle age. What do you mean? I mean, like, this is not a debate no more. In France, there's no debate, but how about from Marine Le Pen? Because she's... I mean, of course, she's pushing because she has like all the Catholics and that. But it's mostly, in France, the making sure, at least I think that, you know, whatever is happening in the religious realm, not to affect. No, they believe in the French do, the separation of church and state. In fact, they believe it so much that they outlaw things like the hijab, which just I think is crazy. You know, let people dress the way they want, you know. But at the end of the day, no system is perfect. Certainly not ours. I don't know about other systems. I don't comment on other systems. This is my country. And I still maintain that we have a right to criticize our own country. So wait and see. And then... Wait. No, no. Be vigilant. But because that's... It's not decided yet. Yes, correct. We're still waiting for that decision. Maybe in June, right? Yes, it's waiting in June, yes. All right, final words? No, no final words. We'll be back next month, I hope. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCEY1VxuzGU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

What we are replicating here is the ability to show up at any battlefield anywhere and be able to operate as effectively and as efficiently as possible on day one. We are trained to insert via combat rubber raid craft, fast rope, any types of these insert platforms as well as extract the other spy line. Brotherhood doesn't know a specific uniform or a specific country. Phenomenal exercise with a great deal of complexity that is put together for a multi-national joint fire exercise so a fantastic opportunity for us to come over from the UK and be represented in this exercise one. It is us working alongside the US ensuring that our tactics, techniques and practices work together and ensure that the end result is fires on the ground, on time, on target and safe. Great exercise.

The study found that vibrotactile feedback combined with synthetic reflexes was superior to both the standard prosthesis and a combination of pressure feedback and synthetic reflexes. Additionally, vibrotactile feedback and synthetic reflexes outperformed pressure feedback alone for grasp placement accuracy. This suggests that autonomous controllers and haptic feedback are beneficial for users of myoelectric upper limb prostheses when performing complex tasks without visual cues.

Todd, I think you've been with us now for about a decade in these shows. It's been about a decade. Really? I don't think so. Sure. You were probably there on 1986. I think so. We got Todd Latoury. Maybe 87. Maybe 87. There it is. As usual, it's a must. We can't do these lists no longer without Todd. He's got to be participating in the big metal year of 1996. Not. Yeah. This is a rough decade. To say the least. Who's going to make it? Who's going to make it? I want to throw this out right at the beginning. Going over our list and seeing all these different bands. I want to know, I find 96 to be like the ground zero of a new heavy metal wave. I think it started in 1996 based on what some of the bands on our list and they were all searching. They all had their own unique style. They're kind of all searching to see what the next trend would be moving forward. So a lot of these bands that came up on our list, I was surprised to see how unique sounding they were. That's what I'm throwing out there. I think we're out of the grunge period and 96 is ground zero to build upon to where we are today. It's interesting. When did new metal start? Let's run this time, right? Or a little bit later. The Beastie Boy. I guess around this time. It was the Beastie Boy. No, new metal. Well, it was like rap and metal. It was kind of like the birth with the Beastie Boys and who else was it? Run DMC. And then it sort of transitioned into I did it all for the nooky, you know, and stuff like that, right? I don't know what you're talking about. Sure you do. It says new metal and you name four rap groups. All right. But Alan, I think you're touching upon something very important, right? We're seeing again, like you said, so everything's been wiped out and then the grassroots is slowly building up with a new genres and they're sort of growing, right? Mind you, there's still the traditional metal bands still out there carrying that metal flag, but yeah. Oh yeah. Todd, what do you want to say? Sorry to cut you off. No, just like limp biscuit. I couldn't stand that stuff. What about the Beastie Boys? I like the Beastie Boys because they were old school and they had like, even though they were sampled stuff, I mean they had Kara King play on Fight for Your Right. And kind of like Eric B. and Rock Kim in the rap world. They used a lot of like jazz, like jazz music and kind of like funk beats with like real, real drums and like real instruments happening, you know? But I don't know, the whole like, other than like Stuck Mojo, who I really liked, I don't know if you know who they are. So Rich Ward, who's in the band Fawzi, the band he was in way back was a band called Stuck Mojo and they were like metal groove music, like really cool music and but it was kind of more like kind of like a rap delivery, but it was was like way ahead of their time. Other than that, I never got into, you know, the limp biscuit stuff and that whole, I think it was a little later on. Yeah, but I mean, corn was out at this time and things were shifting and you were hearing, you started to hear more down like down tuned guitars. So I think this is around that time you start hearing them going from standard tuning of E and E flat, maybe drop D into C and B and A and like ridiculously low tunings. Yeah, my buddy Giles pointed out a big thing, you know, you had Black Sabbath who were dropping down all the way to C, the loosening the strings a lot and then you had the Grand Jira doing the same, right? They were kind of dropping the keys, so the tuning so much that had that really heavy depressing big sound, right? Yeah. Hey, real quick, you called this right from the get go. So our friend Pat, who's Greek says, so for today's episode I suggest we abandon the topic and Jimmy can tell us about his trip to Europe. Alan can recite some passages from the pop-off bubble and Todd can talk about his next album and Feta and somebody else said, Todd should write a track called Feta, please. Oh, it's a Tanvir. I saw Tanvir, by the way, I saw Tanvir in London. We had a nice little meeting right at Parliament Square there. So what? I think you froze, you froze, you froze. You're good now. Okay, you're good. All right. You saw what? Tanvir, where it says TMC, that's Tanvir, he's writing in, that's TMC, that's Tanvir, that's a guy's name. Oh, okay. Didn't know that. All right, let's rock. Guys, this is the criteria today. I want everybody to think about this as we're going through the list. We're going to put on our 90, 96 hat. Come on out. Come on out, put it on. I don't have no hat for 96. No hat for 96. This is the criteria we're looking at. This is the criteria you're looking at. I'm looking at. Critically acclaimed in 1996, when it came out, it was critically acclaimed. Stood the test of time today so you could put on the album and say, wow, this album is still great. Sales figures at the time, how it charted at the time, was a genre defining and wasn't an influential album. In other words, wow, this album was so great that so many other bands copied this band. And of course, the last one is, wow, that album was so great, but nobody ever heard about it. We could throw that in. Can we now throw that in? Yeah, and we'll have some honorable mentions at the end. All right, here we go. Number 10, guys, you're ready for this? I don't even know if Alan understands who's the number 10. Here he's already messed with the rules. I don't know what he's doing. All right. Okay. I see the list. I'm going to number 10 right now, guys. It's Manowar, louder than hell, and this is one of Alan's pick, sentenced down. So again, Manowar is not my pick. Okay, Manowar is my pick. Yeah, we're going to discuss this. So we're going to let everybody out there, okay, which one do you like better? Do you like Manowar or do you like Sentence Down? We couldn't decide which one we should put at number 10. So I go screw it. Let's just put both of them at number 10 and you out there decide and we can discuss. Alan, maybe you want to start off with your pick, Sentence Down. Why did you pick Sentence Down? Well, I think if Metallica and Kreuzer had a son who smoked a lot of pot, he'd be called Sentence. Okay, that's the feel I got. I mean, they just smoked camels. Go ahead. You know, doing this list, we get to revisit some of these bands that we didn't have the money, time or patience for back in 96. And this is definitely one that I would have probably purchased back then. So I was nice. I'm glad I came across it and doing the research for this list. And I think it merits to be on the top 10 list and not going with older, older bands that, you know, like Manowar that anything that they released, Jimmy's putting on the list automatically. So I'll let Todd weigh in on, I'm assuming you heard Sentence, just at least a little bit of it. I didn't. Okay. The brutally honest Todd Littori. Hey. So what are your thoughts on Manowar then? So, you know, I'm not into, I'm not a big fan of Manowar. I think they're exceptional at what they did. But people have to keep in mind. I'm not a fan of that type of power metal. The very, you know, I think it's the, I think it's the lyrics and just this like, we're brothers and we fight and that whole shtick. I just personally am not a fan of seeing bands like that live is, is fun in a big concert festival situation. It's a fun thing to watch. But it's, yeah, but it's not anything that I will ever buy or ever really listen to. And it's primarily because it's a lot of happy major chords. And it's that whole, you know, to the end and we're metal brothers and I don't like that stuff at all. So for me, I really, you know, that's all I can say. This is how I look at shirts. You have to take off your shirt when you sing those lyrics. You're going to need a bigger loincloth. Guys, Eric Adams, one of the greatest vocalists. He could have replaced Freddie Mercury in Queen if you asked me that that's how great of a vocalist he was and still a great singer. He's a, when you think about Manowar, you go, wow, this wasn't a platinum album, but you think of their influence. How many bands, a lot, how many clones have there been of Manowar? This album is just probably one of their strongest. They're anthemic. They bring in the crowds. They headline festivals in Mexico, all in Europe. They're headlining festivals in Europe. How many bands could even say that without even a platinum album? This is all word of mouth. To me, this deserves to be on number 10 because time has been very good to this band. You'll listen to this album today. You know, I get it, Todd. You know, the lyrics are not a little cheesy. We're talking 96. We're talking 96. We're talking about festivals in Europe today. No, but I'm just saying that their music was so timeless that today they're selling out festivals. Their music created such an impact around the world and this is a testament to their albums. And they were the only real metal band to be putting out a metal album in 96. Yeah. Like I say, they're great at what they do. It's just not my cup of tea. And to go to the Bible, I'm going to the Bible. Go to the Bible. Here we go. Yours is not even hot. I'm out of the sentence. It's not even hot. Five Manowar albums have made the top five hundred. This one didn't make it. So to say it's one of their best based on voting from other people now might be strong statement. Guys, courage to God's made heavy metal. What how much more heavy metal can you get than that? Return of the warlord. What number one outlaw outlaw. It's like a thrashy speed metal track. Oh boy. Guys, all right. Everybody out there. Alan, I heard your album. I heard the album you like. Okay. I go, it's okay. It's all right. Did it did it dent? Did it create a dent in the metal world? Did it create a dent in the musical world? It's more of a personal favorite, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Manowar one, I think you asked the listeners, the viewers, the question. Manowar one, but sentenced in the Bible. I'm just pulling up the Bible here. Sentence came in at what number? What number? Zero. 384 out of 500. Geez. Look at that. Crazy. Okay. It's in the book. It's in the book. Crazy, isn't it? No one's ever heard of it, but it's in the book. Yeah. I don't I don't know. I don't know it. You got another firm choice of nine or this is another either or. All right. Let's go to number nine. You know, and also like in 96, you know, I was still listening to like the albums that I liked from, you know, a decade, like the last 10, you know, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 years. So anything else that was new, that was coming out. It was kind of like, okay, yeah. And then I wasn't really digging. And so I was just going back into the stuff that I had been listening to. So I'm not particularly knowledgeable on albums that came in in 96. Strange enough, Alan, it didn't hit all the ticks on the boxes, except for one, critically acclaimed. If it's in Pop-Off's book, it's critically acclaimed sentence, right? There was some sort of critical acclaim for them fans and from the critics, right? And I agree with Todd. I was doing the same thing. I was listening to older material. I wasn't too interested, but it's fun to revisit some of these bands now. All right. Okay. Let's go to number. Yeah. I think number nine is also an either or situation. Here we go. You guys ready for this? Number nine. Let me see what it is. Okay. Oh, okay. I know my pick. Tool. Hanama. Hanama. Ahanama. I'm not even sure how you pronounce that. Ahanama. This binary you're doing. Number nine. Ahanama. Nine. Okay. I got a wrong list. I got, you must have a version 12 then. Ahanama. That sounds like a pain in the ass to say. And Virgin's Deal. So two very interesting names. Virgin's Deal, Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Part Two and Tool. I mean, Todd, I'll let you speak to Tool and Hanama. I don't know which one. Hold on. Hold on. Number nine. What are the options? Tool. Tool and Virgin's Deal, Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Okay. I'm looking at an email you sent me. Me too. And it says version 10. It's version 11. Don't say the other one. Don't say the other one because you're probably going to see it. I'm not going to. I'm not going to. I'm with you, Todd. I'm with you. He's got another list. He came up with another version, so. Guys, let's just deal with the version. We'll deal with what's in front of us. Look, when it's, you know, when it's the metal voice with Alan and Todd featuring Jimmy, we'll have the list. So, okay. So, are you asking me what I think? Yeah. I mean, if you were to pick one, Virgin's Deal versus Tool, which one do you want? I don't. I don't consider Tool a metal band. I think the Tool record is a better record than the Virgin's Deal one. But if you're going for more of that, you know, purest heavy metal thing, then obviously you're going to pick Virgin's Deal. But for my own personal taste, even though I'm not, I don't, I don't even like Tool. Like, I'm not a fan of, I've tried to listen to it and tried to love it. And they're, again, they're exceptionally great at what they do. Not my style. But I think for what they both are, I think that the Tool record checks those, that criteria more. That was a very big record. Huge record. Yeah, it was. Massive. And I think that that alone is a bigger record than that record was from Virgin's Deal. But maybe I'm wrong. And it certainly sold a shit ton. And the longevity is totally there because Tool is selling big numbers. So, that's my opinion. The Virgin's Deal, I listen to it and it's, you know, if you're into that, it's really cool. But if I had to weigh those, those two, even though I don't consider Tool a heavy metal band, I'm still going to pick the Tool one because I think overall it's a better album. Okay. Alan. Sorry. No, it's not me. It's you. So, you don't want any of them, Alan. You just, one or the other. One or the other. Everything tense. Well, I'm going with the Tool. I was surprised that I thought it wasn't something I was going to enjoy, but it was okay. I mean, a lot of songs sound similar, but again, going back to 96, this was huge. They were a huge band then. And I'm going to lean. Yeah, it was definitely something new to your ears, whereas the Virgin's Deal album, that could have been from 1986 and I wouldn't know otherwise. Yeah. It sounds like something from that era, from the 80s versus 90s to me. I would say. You had a very classic. I say Tool ticks. You guys said Tool ticks all the boxes. I agree with that. But I just find it's sort of like Jethro Tal meets Nirvana, right? It's always that sort of soft to distortion, soft to distortion, but I agree with your points. It hits the sales marks. It's a chart. It redefines music in a sense. They're still relevant today. They were relevant back then. People love the band. They sell out. But why Virgin's Deal? For me, first of all, number one, they're keeping the metal alive, right? They're playing straight ahead metal. Second of all, I think their influence has been missed. These guys started in the early 80s, probably 80 or 79. They were the first prototype of symphonic metal. And what symphonic metal is playing metal, heavy, power metal, power metal singing, adding a lot of keyboards, a lot of different sort of changes, key changes, and all that stuff that goes into Prague Rock. So I think they were and they were popular in Europe. And then from Europe came all these other night wishes and Tarion and all the other bands. So I think they played a bigger role in terms of defining a new genre and that was symphonic metal. That's my opinion. They did not tick off charting. Could have put it in the 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91. That's the case. No, I think they were they're breaking a lot of ground back then. They were breaking a lot of ground and they kept going. And you know what? Manowar, even though they're cheesy with the, you know, we're brothers of metal, these guys were tackling big subjects. And this album is the relationship between humanity and divinity. So I don't know. I think for me would be Virgin's Deal. You guys would be tool. So we'll ask everybody out there. There's the bait. There's the bait going on that it was even released in 96. Okay. So just a little sidebar was in 80, 95. Just a little sidebar. You know, I think most people are going on on the chat with Virgin's Deal. Some saying tools shouldn't even be on the list. They're not metal. You know, so I think Virgin's Deal wins this one among the listeners and feedback that I can read anyway. You know, and look for heavy metal, sure. But you know, It's a tough year guys. It's a tough year. It's a tough year. It's a tough year. Jimmy's going to keep going until you both give in Jimmy Fulabuster. All right. So let's go to the Bible. I stocked the deck. I stocked the deck. Go ahead. Yeah. Check it out. Virgin's Deal didn't make it. Jesus. Cool. I'll let you guys guess. 500 where they come in. This particular album comes in. 50. It's in the book, right? Yep. It's in the book. So somebody considered metal. I'm going to say 35. 128. Wow. Okay. That was way off. It's all right for number eight. Carlos has said Virgin's Deal five times. He was Virgin's Deal, Virgin's Deal, Virgin's Deal, Virgin's Deal. So that I just want to point out. Don't make fun of people that stuttered you. That's not, that's not, that's cruel. All right. Let's see what's next on the list here. Number eight. Oh, I just had it. I see we didn't come up with a list. Yeah. So Jimmy, you got to tell the list because we're shot. And the duh. Okay. Actually, this is another either or situation. Oh, geez. This is. You get 20 albums of the top 10. O-Path or October rush by a type O negative morning rise. O-Path, O-Path all day. This isn't even a conversation. Not even a conversation. Okay. Now I'm getting one because I'm agreeing too much with Todd. So I'm starting to get worried. So the Venmo went through. I had to check that. I can't. O-Path morning rise, morning rise. O-Path morning rise and what do you say? Virgin steel. No, not virgin steel. Type O negative. Oh, type O negative, October rush. Yes. Go ahead. It's type O-Path every time on that. That's not even a question. I mean, yeah. I don't even know what else to say. I feel stupid that I have to exaggerate or expound on it. Again, this is my first listening to O-Path. And I'd rather eat razor blades and listen to those vocals, but the music is unbelievable. I was surprised at how strong of an album this was. But I mean like O-Path does also sing. Sing. It's not all gutter rolls. Well, it's like 80, 90% gutter roll on this album. You see, for me, O-Path, they come into their own later on on future albums. And I could say, wow, that's amazing. But I just find it's all scattered. It's all scattered, the musical stylings. Like, oh, some folk. Oh, some death metal growls. Oh, so pleasing. It's definitely, yeah. They're very eclectic and progressive. And there's a lot going. There's a lot of different stuff. You cannot pigeonhole O-Path. But I just find that they're just kind of, is this their second album? They're not there yet as a band. Like they're still growing and learning their craft. And they're getting better. And I just find that this album just doesn't do it for me. Whereas October Rust by Typo Negative, I think it's probably their best album. And I just love his singing. Peter Steele's singing on this. It's just, wow, he just puts so, it's so precise. And he puts so much effort in. You can hear it and you put on headphones. You can hear how precise he is. And I just love the guitar tone. It sounds bizarre. And it's like, wow, this is something new. This is a new genre he's just created of some sort. So there's somebody with the name Gas Masks and Hand Grenades. Says, Todd's wrong. October Rust is killer. Morning Rise is one of O-Path's weaker albums, to be honest. First of all, I don't know what I'm wrong about. Because all I did was say that it was, I thought it was hands down better than Typo Negative for what we're talking about. Now, if you're saying, if the person's saying I'm wrong about that, you know, then they should have said that. But unless they, if they want to comment and say, yes, that record, while it might not be the best O-Path record, is better to them than the Typo Negative record, or do they think Typo Negative record is better than the O-Path record? So I'd be curious if that person wants to respond. You know what's amazing? These two bands kind of use the same sort of sounds. They're very folk sound, a lot of acoustic stuff going on. The singing, when he does the clean stuff on O-Path, it's sort of very similar to Peter Steele. So there's a lot of mood going on on both albums. Do you think that, do you consider Typo Negative metal? You know what, I think they're a metal band, but this is less of a metal album, right? I think they've had more metal. They're more doom, if anything. And they're alternative metal. So do you consider tool metal? And I don't know where I sit with tool. I'm just wondering if you can consider one metal and one not, because I don't consider either of them really metal. But then again, it's a hard thing to define as we've done over these shows, where you say, well, they've got the distorted guitars. They've got the, you know, you start checking off those elements, right? And you go, well, how can you say that's not metal? And so even that's a subjective thing, very subjective. But in this era in 1996, this is what the metal heads were gravitating towards, right? Or this was being played. This was, but was, yeah, sure. Right. All right. So they were grabbing for any kind of lifesaver that would get them into the metal community, I guess. So the good news, guys, boys, both albums made the top 500. There we go. I'll let you guys decide which one placed higher based on the voting for this book. I would think type of between who open and typo negative these two albums. Oh, I think typo negative is higher. Okay. You're both correct. Type or negative. October, this comes in at number 152. Ouch. And open morning rise comes in at number 403. Wow. That's a big, it's not like virgin steel numbers. At least they got some numbers. Yeah. All right. Number seven. So I guess it's, it's, has it been decided? Does the people, do the people watching out there, do they prefer typo negative or opeth to be our number? I mean, they're saying, some people are saying, you know, typo is definitely metal. I hear opeth. Oh, now opeth to make it come back. Oh, here it comes. Here it comes. Typo. Okay. Lucia, Lucia, come on. Yeah. Come on, metal. Either say typo negative or opeth. So we can decide. Yes. Don't write neither, please. It's, it's, it's a, well, maybe we'll go at the end. Oh, you know what, I got to say, you know, Carlos, who wrote again three times opeth. I'm not sure if that counts. No, it counts as one five times. Take it easy, buddy. Okay. Well, I don't know. It's pretty split. Okay. So yeah. All right. This is pretty split. Like I'm, I don't know what's going to happen here. Like I, I see. Oh, let's go to number seven. I'm surprised that there's a split decision between typo negative and opeth, but that's, that's crazy. That's why we do these lists. Everybody's entitled to their opinion. But only ours. Oh, Carlos. Okay. I would say opeth has a slight lead if I was going to base it on what I'm seeing here. Because Carlos just basically stuffed the ballots. We stuffed them out. Okay. And by the way, listen to Cinnamon Girl, the cover by Neil Young on, on a typo negatives album. They do a great job. They just take it to another level. It's like, it's not, they just take that song and just take it to another beautiful song. Okay. Here we go. What do we add Alan? What number? Seven, but you let us know what you put. Yeah. I don't even know what it is now. Word number seven. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know what that is. Rage against the machine, evil empire, empire, empire. Here's one that I say is this metal. Because I listened to it a few times. I'm like, I don't know. I know they get lumped in, but man, I don't know if this is a metal level. Again, it goes back to, you know, they have the attitude. They have aggression. Yeah. They're not singing in a metal style. I never considered rage against the machine a metal band. But there are elements that one could argue. You know, I mean, just looking at this album cover, takes me back to 96. You saw this album cover everywhere in 96. This was huge. And that was a, what was the charting on that album? Oh, it did well. I got to look it up. But it definitely charted. It definitely sold. We're talking about millions here. So people are saying rap rock and rock. Cami rock. Come on, dude. Somebody goes, Cami rock. Cami rock. Actually, that was the, that was in hip rate, at least to call them Cami metal or something like that. I mean, I threw Jimmy a bone. I know he's a huge fan of rage against the machine. I like rage against the machine. You gotta put it on. Just so I can hear Jimmy tell us how great it is. What does Cami rock even supposed to mean? Socialist rock. I guess, I guess, or I guess. Fuck yeah. All right. So let's think about it this way. They released three studio albums of original material rage against the machine. Yeah. They had, they were big back then. And they are bigger than they've ever been today. Right. I don't know. It's because they stopped playing for a while and they just kept building and building. I don't know. But the songs resonated with people. If you're on the left side of the political spectrum on the right side, you still could find something there to make you pissed. You could still use, it's kind of like we're not going to take it the song. It just connects with everyone. And I don't know, man. I just probably one of the greatest frontmen and the singer there. And I know he's rapping, but there's an aggression. There's a certain style. There's a certain. You know what? They're, they're lyrics and they're message. Is, is great. A few, I won't do what you tell me. You know what I mean? That resonates with everyone. That's a common message. That's a, that's a global message. You know? Yeah. Isn't that what Donald Trump pretty much says all the time? So everybody says the right to argue for that. And then people on the other side could say the same thing to the other side. So, you know, not, not to, you know, without letting go that Tom Morello has a degree in political science. He's not just some guy that plays guitar and just says whatever he wants. Like the dude is very intelligent. And, you know, I think he got a great, you know what? And, you know, he also took the guitar to another, you know, and I wouldn't say another level, but he brought it to another. Yeah. Interesting. Interest interim, I would say. An interesting, you know, sort of, you know, he plays around with sounds a lot in his guitar. Right. Great guitarist, great guitarist. So I think they deserved number Allen seven. Seven, yeah. Does everybody agree or disagree? Hey, just do your thing. It'll work out. Evil Empire. Empire. All right. All righty. A lot of people are very upset about this. Spoken out, yeah. It's 96, man. We're grasping at straws here. People are dissing Tom Morello. You know what's funny about Tom Morello? He was a yellow Harvard. He was rebelling against the system. Now he's part of the system. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But anyway, so I digress. Okay, here we go. Number six, Jim. Number six. By the way, that, that album Rage Against the Machine made it in the top 500, but not for that album. Okay. Here we go. Corn. Life is beachy. It's a really good album. Okay. Well, I'm not going to say much about this album. Go ahead. Yeah. I think that was my, I'm the one who told you to, that was one of my picks. Yeah. You know, look, you can't deny that when they came out, you know, they were really doing down tunings. He was doing vocalizations that you really kind of never heard before. They were not doing any guitar solos. But it was a very unique thing. And they introduced something new and a style and a sound that was new, that whether you like it or don't like it, nobody can say that, you know, they didn't, they weren't part of create, of a band, you know, they created a sound and a style that was totally fresh to our ears. I think it's a really good record. If you're into that style, if you're not into it, fair enough. But I think it, and I don't know what it sold. Maybe Google how it charted, what it did, what was the reception? It did very well. It did very well. I'm going to look it up. But Alan. Shoot me right friggin now. That was my takeaway. Okay. I'm kind of like, I can respect what they've done. I could respect that people enjoyed the music. And they're still popular today. But I got to tell you, I can't get past the second track. I've tried so many times. I don't know. I just kind of like, I like singing, you know, and I find that this is more, as you would say, percussive singing, Todd. Yeah. I don't know. It's kind of. He usually will do that. And then it's weird because sometimes they'll do that on a verse and then open up on a chorus with a bigger melody. And then there's times where he'll do the opposite and he'll do something like that in the verse. And then the chorus comes in. It's very staccato and choppy and percussive. I mean, I don't know what the numbers are, but I have to think that was a huge album. That was a massive record in 96, as we considered the climate. Yeah. If somebody could type in, because I just can't find the list with all the information. If someone could just see how many albums it sold, I'm pretty sure it hit a million. I'm pretty sure it did. Oh, sure. Yeah. But like I said, I'm like Alan, I just, I can't get past song two or maybe even half a song one. I tried. I really did try. But I'll tell you, my younger cousin, he picked up the bass because of that band. So it spoke to a generation, right? Yeah. It was very inspirational to a lot of people. Yeah. Charts. So, okay. While you're looking at it. Sorry. Yeah. Oh, it peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and then peaked at number one in New Zealand. The album sold, wow, 106,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week of release. It went platinum in 97, January of 97, the same year. It was certified double platinum in the U.S. in November of 99 and it has, as of 2019, it's sold over 6 million copies. Oh, there you go. Yeah. And I'm sure they can play stadiums. Well, I wouldn't say stadiums, but festivals, right? They can talk, you know. Yeah. It says that it, it says that it, it says that it received mixed reviews from critics. Anyway, Alan, you were going to... Two corn albums made the top 500, but this was not one of them. Really? Really? Wow. The other two for the information was the eponymous album and the second one was Follow the Leader. Follow the Leader was really good. Yeah. Okay. Interesting. So, it didn't even make the, didn't make the top. What is that? It made the Bible. Folks, what do you think of corn being on the list as number, I don't know what number it was. It was number six. So, what do you think about number six? Corn, yes or no? Good or bad idea? Let us move on, shall we? Number five. Number five. Now we're getting into it. Unless you guys don't know what we're going to be talking about. We don't know what it is. We actually waited to hear what you came up with. There's two actually. This isn't either or a situation. I figured we'll take two power metal bands and pit them against each other. Stradivarius episode at Impilatary Screaming Symphony. So, I added Stradivarius because if we're looking for that vein of music, they're both good at what they do, but I kind of prefer this album episode to the Impilatary. Okay. So, same here. I agree with Alan. Look, I love Rob Rock's voice who sings with Impilatary. Obviously, Chris is a smoking guitar player. However, and I encourage anyone that wants to fuck with me about this, go listen to the Impilatary album. Song, individually, the songs are really good. When you play it as an album, I think the first four or five songs, literally, they're almost the identical tempo, same kind of intro, and back two and eight, I think, are almost the identical riff, which is very similar to Stand Up and Shout from Dio. So, if you listen to those, there's really no separation of the songs. It almost sounds like kind of the same song, with the exception of a couple of them. Again, if you just heard one song on its own, awesome. But as a full body of work, I don't know how they didn't catch that almost every song starts with the same kind of guitar, tuning the same sound, a lot of the same style, almost the identical tempo. And I was really blown away at that. And for me, that alone is a deal breaker. It's so amazing because you're saying the same thing I feel about Strativarius. You know, it's the same double bass drum. It's the same vocal line. It's the same tempo, it's exactly identical. And I find the songs a little more unique within Pelletieri. I like his guitar shredding. I like listening to it. It's very melodic in the way he plays. I like his neoclassical kind of feel when he's playing. So, if I was going to pick one, I would definitely lean more towards in Pelletieri versus, but I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. But I find Strativarius very generic, if you ask me. I do get tired of the, you know, that I don't want to start naming other bands, but I don't think that would be moving professionally. But there are bands that are that constant, you know, that double bass the whole time. And it does get very monotonous. And look, visually, I really like the songs on the in Pelletieri album. I just thought when I listened to it, that stood out to me more. And maybe it's because a lot of them, you know, just started, would sound like the same kind of chord or tuning or, you know, this intro. And then the drums came in, but I don't know. It, you know, we're having to like rip shit apart that we otherwise never would. Like in our own personal lives, we wouldn't be, I don't want to say chastising, but this critical, but because we have to like try to make a show out of it. Somebody has to do it, Todd. Somebody has to do it. Yeah. And it's today. Well, say hello to a bad guy, you know. Tanvir says in Pelletieri's like Feta made from cow's milk. It shouldn't happen. First of all, gotta go for the goat. Gotta go for the goat. First of all, there is no Feta with cow's milk. That's just fucking white cheese. So, but I get your point. I mean, two bands that were more in the classic sounding metal, carrying the torch back in 96. And one of these bands, one of these albums, I should say, made the top 500. I'll let you guys guess which one. I would say Strativarius. I'm going to say Strativarius, too. Yeah. Strativarius comes in at number. Yeah. I don't guess. I guess. I was going to say 418. I'm kidding. There you go. He nailed it. And Pelletieri didn't make it. But I bet you in the Japanese version of this book and Pelletieri is like number one. Way up. Way up. Yeah, for sure. Good album. Both good albums. Yeah, yeah. Actually, you know, to me what I like about it's kind of, it's got a little tint of Boston, you know, meets Van Halen meets Randy Rhodes. It's got all that same Pelletieri for me. But Strativarius to me is like, oh, is this Halloween? Well, I get it. I get it. That seems bad. I think I like, I prefer the music of Chris and Pelletieri more. Yeah. But again, for me, it was the things that I said before. Gotcha. It was just, it was like really like, just kind of a little off-putting. I think from the people who are watching, the consensus is Strativarius episodes. Or is it episode or episodes? Episode. Episode. Episode. So I think that is the consensus from what I'm seeing. I do not see as much in Pelletieri love that I'd like to see. But that's what it is. Okay, Carlos. Carlos, you can rate it three times. Let's get to number four. Let's get to number four. Alan's hungry. Alan's hungry for supper. Let's get to number four. Jimmy, how long are we going to be? 45 minutes? Mine. My chicken is cooking. Get mine. Get mine. All right. Number four. Number four. Guys, do you remember what number four is? Nope. Yes. There it is. Halloween. Halloween. The time of the oath. Darker and heavier than his predecessor, Master of the Rings. But hey, Hello, Weed is back. Two consecutive albums. This one's concepts based on the prophecies of Notre Dame. Intro, Yuli Koush on drums following the tragic passing of Ingo Schwatenberg. It was such a strong album. Actually, the Double High Live album was based on the tour. So they were back stronger than ever after the disappointing Chameleon and Pink Bubbles go ape. So I think this reestablished infirmly as the band in the Halloween. Halloween is the band in the middle community back in 1996. So that's my thoughts. This is featuring Andy. When did Kiske leave? He left after Chameleon. Yeah. So Master of the Rings. Well, this is the second Andy Darisal. Master of the Rings was the first Andy. Unless I got like, unless I was listening to a bad audio, the mix, the vocals are buried. They're buried. If the mix sucks, you can't even hear the singing. It's like you have to really concentrate. They need to be. So whoever mixed that was. They were happy to go back with the. Was it Tommy Hansen who mixed that? Or recorded? I think it was done on purpose, Todd. I shouldn't say, hold on. Let me let me retract the statement. Sorry, hold on. I shouldn't say the mix sucks. I should say the level of the vocal was buried. I don't want to say them. I don't want to trash the mix. I want to say I shouldn't have said that. I think the vocal is just buried and it makes it really hard to listen to. So Tommy Hansen did produce it and he did mix it and they were happy at this time to be back with him after after going with Chris Tangarides on some of the previous ones. So they were they stood by him on this. And but I didn't I didn't notice. I listened to it before we got on. I didn't notice that. I got the CD here. As it was like. I got to tell you something in 1996 with Tool, the sort of thing that they did when they were sort of mixing albums, they bring the vocals back to the same levels as the guitar. So they pulled back the vocals. The 80s was very that the vocals were up front. Then they pulled all the vocals back. If you listen to Tool on the headphones, it's just as loud the guitar as the vocals are. So this is like a mixing. I wouldn't call it a technique. I would say sort of a fad where the vocals are in line with the rest of the music. They don't pop out. They just in line with it. So if you listen to music in the 90s, that's what they were doing. Not all the bands, but many bands, right? So Lucia says, blabbermouth headline tomorrow. Todd says, Halloween sucks. I don't think so. He never said that. He never said that. And I misspoke and said the mix sucked. The mix doesn't suck. The vocals are just too quiet. That's why I said. Yeah. I agree with Alan. I don't hear it. I think this is one of their strongest albums with Andy. And I think the rawness that people hear was done on purpose because they were so polished from the chameleon album and that whole kisky sort of thing that happened and the band broke up and they had to start over again. So they wanted to start off as a sort of raw, powerful, and they wanted to rebuild that sort of from the grassroots up again. So I think that's what they were after. They were after sort of like a very raw sound. And I think they achieved that and there's great songs. And I'm not going to name the songs, but I think, you know, 100,000 units sold in Japan. An interesting side note, Steele Tormenter, at that time, like he was listening to Ripper Owens, Judas Priest, because Ripper Owens was in the band and he wasn't digging as much as the earliest priest songs. So he said, I'm going to write a song called Steele Tormenter in the early Judas Priest vein so I can listen to it at my home whenever I want and get into what priest was, the priest that he preferred rather than the Ripper Owens year. So yeah, yeah. But you know, me and Alan were fans of Halloween and even in this era here. I remember buying it and I thought I was really impressed at the time. They were kind of like one of the few metal bands that were like raw, like real. This was heavy metal as we know it, right? As we loved it. This is like the Paul Deanna of Iron Maiden, heavy metal. And then did it make the top 500? Yes or no? I think 450. I think it made it. I don't know. This Halloween album did not make the top 500. It's in another book, the top 600. So I'm wondering of all, you know, like what did make it in 1996 into that book? You know what I mean? That's what I'm curious about. Yeah. Yeah. I'll get you. I'll get you a list at the end. Okay. Okay. We're up to number three. Three. Okay. All right. Number three. You guys ready, Todd? Yeah. What's number three? Sopaltura Roots. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's a very well-known album, a coveted album. I think it was the last record with Max. Was it the last record with Max? Yeah, it was. It was on vocals, yeah. Yeah. Went to like this, you know, tribal-y thing and it's a big record. It's talked about a lot still today. Here's one that checks all those boxes. I think you mentioned at the beginning, Jim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was relevant back then, just as relevant today. And it sold and it sharded, right? And this is like the first album that they were really concentrating on putting their Brazilian musical influence or the sort of their traditional Latin influences into the music. And you can hear in the drumming and, you know, like Joe's drum patterns and I don't know about the vocals, but they were more aggressive the vocals. It peaked at 27 on the US Billboard 200. Yeah. It certified. It certified as gold in the US. It had 500,000 copies. Yeah. You listen to a song like Breed Apart, you can see how unique sounding this band was at that time. So, yeah. Yeah, I mean, they're still a big band, but yeah, I think it was definitely a worthy album to go on the list for sure. Look, not one of my favorite bands, not one of my favorite albums, but I get it. You know, it's just a big album, you know, and I can respect that. I can definitely respect that. Yeah. The four Sepultura albums made the top 500. Is this one of them? Yes. Absolutely. 75. Not the highest placing. Let me take a guess. But let's come in at number 170. That's high. That's high album. Yeah. At a top 500. Virgins still didn't even make the book. So, and Halloween didn't either, right? No, Halloween did not. Okay, there you go. And neither did Manowar. But six Manowar albums did. They go back to your point at how popular they are just. Okay. Let's get to number two. Number two. I think this got Todd's name all over it. Oh, yeah. I don't know what number two. You don't know what number two is? Pantera, the great Southern Treadkill. Yep. I want to see what the, what some of the stats are. The G-Notes? Hang on a second. Yep. Yeah. Pantera. Like, I'll start off. First of all, I don't get it, but I get it. I get it. I remember to Alan's point how Evil Empire was all over the record store. So was this album cover. You can walk into any record store without seeing this album cover. Dude, it reached number four. All my friends love this band. I don't get it. I can't listen to it. I can't listen to it. I don't see what everybody says. Dimebag is one of the greatest guitarists. I don't hear it. I think he's a good guitarist. I just don't think he's no Eddie Vanuent. But that's just me. He was, he was very creative. But I can respect what they've done and I can respect their legacy. He was very creative, very unique, cool style, very groove oriented. You know, it was a powerful record. It went platinum, sold a million copies. So you can check that off your cute little box. And, you know, again, in 1996, there wasn't like a lot of what was really going on. This was a big deal in 1996. Well, I think we established that in, I think, 95 or one of the other lists with Bulgarian display of power, right? We, you said that it was a different generation, the upcoming generation, that that's, that's all they had to grasp onto it. Boy, did they ever grasp onto it. I mean, even today, there's controversy about touring without the members and going out there. That's how passionate their fans are. And that's how passionate their fans were back then. Yeah. I think it's not going to leave Jimmy hanging. I think it's the vocals. I agree with what Jimmy said, but I won't leave your hanging, buddy. Thanks. Thanks, Alan. I'll get Bill up. You know what, think of how many singers sound like what Phil was doing back then. Everyone. It's so many. Like he, you know, he was influence. He's the guy. He's one of those guys. You're going to blame a guy, it's him. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody says no, no overkill, no list. Hello. Listen, I respect Pantana. If that many, so many people love this band. You can't say I'm wrong. They're right. Or sorry. I can't say I'm right and they're wrong. My point is I don't get the vocals. I don't get the aggression and everybody keeps saying, die bags the best guitarist ever. I'm like, okay, he's good. I don't know. I mean, I'm supposed to like him because everybody says he's the greatest guitarist ever. I don't hear it. I don't see it. Yeah. It doesn't appeal to you. It doesn't mean that he's not regarded as a great guitarist in the guitar world because he is. But that doesn't mean that you have to particularly like it. Or even if you don't see that, you know, some people say, I mean, some people are like, oh, you know, Eric Clapton is like, you know, the greatest guitarist that ever lived or Jimmy Page. And, you know, there are people that like, and they would think about it as a technical thing and be like, not even close. But then you look at him as a songwriter and you're like, okay, close. You know, it depends on the criteria of what you're even saying makes a great guitar player. Some shred guy or somebody that plays like David Gilmore. Because I would take David Gilmore any day of the week over a shreddy speed guy. I agree. Yeah. Yeah. But I wouldn't tell you that 20 years ago. You know, so even that has, you know, as it's, you'd have to define what it even means as great. I like power metal by by Pantera. That is an album that I do like. But after the growling started and the screaming started, I don't know. It works for me for one or two songs. And then it sort of becomes like, it comes like Opeth, you know, just the grunts and the grunts and the grunts. And I find that artists are limiting themselves when they kind of do one thing, you know. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I agree. I mean, there's only there's only so much you can do. It's just like having just a distorted guitar channel and going. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Like everybody calls you a genius. Yeah. Well, you know, when you have other colors and things to play with with your instrument. Now, you know, there's, you can, it opens doors that otherwise you wouldn't be able to do, you know. So like when they did, what is that? Planet Caravan and he sang on that. But if you listen to like, I mean, we love Rob Halford's voice, but if you listen to songs like Heresy and stuff like that, I mean, he or Shattered, the song Shattered off Cowboys from Hell, if you listen to Shattered, dude, it's, it's like Rob Halford, painkiller style vocals. I mean, he's, he's vibratoing like you like, he's hitting really high stuff. And he's like singing like a real, what we like metal singing. And, you know, then when Vulgar to Sway of Power came, then you kind of forgot all that he quit doing some of the higher things like that. But so what number do you think this came in in the top 500? Okay, I have a question. Yep. Is that so that book? I don't have that. There's no Bible in my house. That, that book, it gives you, it's the top 500 of, of like, like how far does it span? Well, it's whoever voted. I mean, people voted Uriah Heap back in 73 into this book. So we're Queen. Okay. Okay. So we say we have to take into consideration this book, it was published. That's because there is a cut up. It was originally published in 2000. So we're going to say, well, we do 2004. So 2004 we got to stop. Yeah, yeah. This is of all time or just of this year that it does that. This is, this is, he did, what are the top 500 albums of all time? So you know he did, Todd. Todd, he did it statistically. He sort of went and he- Yeah, it was a big consensus and he, yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to say 95. Jimmy, do you want to guess or? I would say it's up there. I would say 65. 149. Wow. Yeah. I thought after I said that I thought, okay, of all time I'm being a little high. Look at this. Jimmy, Rachel here, myself and my parents are at the lake until the 29. What is that code? What is it saying? All right, let's get to number one. I don't know what that means. Someone's at the lake. I got to go to the lake apparently. The thermometer just popped on his little turkey cooking, so. Todd is the guy who saves the show every time. You're like Superman or something. All right, are we at number two or number one? I don't remember. Number one, just to say it. That's what your fingers are for, Jim. Okay, guys, you ready for this? Alan, do you have the album in front of you? No, I don't. Okay, so I have to just show the graphics. That's what it is. You go ahead. Is everybody ready? Boom. Ice, earth, the dark saga. Did it make you a list? Everybody out there, did it make you a list? There's your number one. Yeah, quite controversial because John Shaver and all the trouble he's in, but Matt Barlow. Okay, that's not our voice. It's not even, we're talking 96 here. Yeah, we're talking 96. Don't need to bring up anything else. But he was just starting his chapters. All right, 96. You know what surprised me about this? They're mostly all three-minute songs. He was able to tell a whole story with only three-minute songs. Yeah, this too. Yeah, and when you have few people that are singing like that, you know, Shaver is like one of the greatest rhythm guitar, metal guitar players to do, you know, he can do that all night long. And it's, it always amazes me whenever I see him do that. It's, yeah, I mean, what can you say? My wife plays this stuff in the house constantly. This record is played at our house very frequently. And it was recorded in my own backyard at Morissan in Tampa. There you go. And this is a concept album. A lot of people forget that, right? This is a spawn and songs like I Died for You, The Dark Saga, Violate, The Hunter, you know, they, what, when Iron Maiden dropped the ball, Ice Earth picked up the ball and they sort of carried on that sort of tradition of this is a heavy metal, bad, big concepts, you know, a big, I wouldn't say big recording, but, you know, more complex record arrangements, killer vocals. And like you said, Todd, this rhythm guitar was great. It's just, it's just, yeah, everything's there. Everything's there, man. A question of heaven. He's brutal. I mean, and he's hybrid too, Matt Barlow. He's brutal, but he can do, he can, yeah. He can go a lot of places. Yeah. For sure. He did a great job on this album, particularly so. All right. And there you have it. Does everybody agree that this should have been Ice Earth 1996? Our choice for number one is the lowest in the Bible, the lowest charting Ice Earth album. But it does come in at? 70, 378. Wait, what are we doing? We're doing the, what the Bible says about this album. The Dark Saga. It ranks. Oh, I'm going to put that in the 60s. 264. Wow. Not even halfway. Here, let me show everybody the album here. Oh, sorry, wrong one. Oops, sorry, oops, sorry, wrong one. So I think we've established that bands from amorphous all the way through to nevermore neurosis, they're all trying to sound very unique sounding bands throughout our list, I think proves that. We've got the historic Halloween as with other bands like corn and typo negative that might, or there was one Rage Against the Machine, but not even considered metal. So crazy, crazy times back in 96. So what else are you saying? Somebody's saying if you have Ice Earth, you should have had Manson, not even close. No, I don't, I don't see the connection. You know, here's a call with Marilyn Manson. I don't hear the connection, but. Marilyn Manson was more image driven than he was song driven. And he, you know, the other bands thought that, that made the ground 500 from that year. Amorphous. I would say Cradle of Filth. Carcass, Swan Song. Carcass, Authority, Wise Blood. But I would have put that, but it's not weird. I don't know, it doesn't sound too metal to me. Edge of Sanity, Crimson. Neurosis through Silver and Blood. Nevermore the politics of ecstasy. And what else? I think we covered the rest. Was Cradle of Filth there? Oh, Angra. Angra. Angra Holy Land. Yes. Thank you, John. Can you hear me? Yeah. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Cradle of Filth. Okay. Cradle of Filth, yes. Yeah. Was that 96? Well, I didn't make the book. It didn't make the list. Is that what the question was, if it made the book? No. No, it was an honorable mention, and then yes. Oh, there you go. Well, I mean, let's look at the texts here of other. Sorry, you've talked. Cradle of Filth, Dusk and Her Embrace did make it. Came in at number 271. Okay, there you go. There you go. I hear Gravedigger, Toons of War. I don't know. Yeah, it's okay. Okay, Rushes, Test for Echo by Tanvir. I don't know Tanvir. Had some really good songs on it, but it lacked. There was a lot of filler there, too, at least in my opinion. Merciful Fate into the Unknown. Look, I'm the biggest Merciful Fate fan here, and if I'm not putting it on the list, I think it kind of lacks. It's good, but it's not great. It's not No Melissa. Is that it? Yep. We're not going to please everybody. We're not going to please everyone. It's not, we're not talking 87 here. Overkill, their album. Look, here's the, I think it's, which one is it? Killing Kind, is that it? I heard it. I've heard it many times before. I find that half the album is fantastic, and the other half it kind of loses me a bit. They've done way better albums than that. Corrosion of conformity is what parents say. I don't hear it. Joshua is saying Angry Machines by Dio, probably Dio's weakest album, in my opinion. Alan, what do you think? Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't disagree. Motorhead? What do you think about Motorhead's album that came out in 96, Alan? You're a big Motorhead fan. I know, you're the one that had it on your list, original. Just put it on my list originally, just so we could talk about it. No, no, no. Somebody's asking if Soundgarden is considered metal. I wouldn't say metal. I think we covered that with super unknown. Overnight Sensation, now it's a Motorhead Overnight Sensation. I don't know. It's got some, it's got its moments, but is it considered one of the best of 96? Eternity by Anathema? Never heard it. Deep Purple perpendicular, it's okay. And Mike is saying the last song on Angry Machine is amazing. Yeah, it is amazing, but I mean, are we going to base? Dude, I feel like we're the old guys up in the balcony in the Muppets. Just like trash everything and we're throwing popcorn. And I think symbolic acts 95 missed the beginning of the show because that came out with sentence with one of the suggestions. So yeah, that was Alan. So somebody's saying Annihilator and then In Flames. And look, there's a bunch. Demi Borgher. There's a bunch of bands, but you know, you got to cut it off somewhere. Yeah. Well, the old guys. And we'll get today. Here's the good news, everyone. You can build your own show too and have your own list. And I encourage you to do that. Put your top 10 list on a t-shirt and mail it to us, please. Oh, we forgot. Do we forget about this one? Oh, this one. Man, I work. I really cover that one, Mike. Get about this one. Look at this. Look how cool that is. That's the coolest. Toddlatori, your next album. I want something like this. Toddlatori, too. Toddlatori made of steel. Something like that. What do you think? Just take your shirt off. You have a hammer and just, I don't know, maybe that. Dude, instead of being waterboarded or something, you have a wrench. Instead of being waterboarded, there's going to shove a brick of feta in my mouth where I can't breathe. You break the feta like this without your shirt off. Instead of bathing in a tub full of baked beans, you'll be bathing in a tub full of feta. Olive oil. What's up with that? Olive oil. Guys, it's been a pleasure. Oh, this one is like, hold on. Guys, guys, guys, they didn't realize this. Oh, no, there you are. It's a poster. I can hang in there. I can sleep in it. You better put that on your bedroom wall, Jim. And the lyrics were Todd. Hey, where do you think you got it from, Alan? We're not judging anybody. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, if you read one verse and you'll kind of say what I'm saying. Anyway, all right, guys, before you go, what's new in your world, anything you want to plug, anything you want to get off your chest, everything you do, an exciting tour schedule, next solo album. I'm working on new songs for my next solo record. I just got back from playing in Seattle, Washington. And I think our next show is Sturgis. So I'm doing things around the house. And with my wife, she's been organizing a bunch of stuff. I'm kind of helping her a little bit here and there and soaking up the AC because it's hot as hell. And then she's going to help me organize my studio and clean up out there. So I'm just doing home stuff and saw my mom spending time with Vader. And that's kind of it. Yeah, a little downtime coming up where we have like every weekend for like the next couple of months. So I'm only going to be home three, four days that I'm gone, three, four days that I'm gone. So it's my last kind of hurrah for a while at home. Any big tours coming up yet? There's some really great stuff, but I can't talk about it right now. And it'll be announced, we'll be announced later. We have really exciting stuff that's that's done right there. That's a teaser. That's good. That's good. We have good stuff in the works. Yeah, for sure. Let us know when you're ready. Okay, I will. All right. Stay well. Have a great evening. And good to see you, Alan and Jimmy. And I guess that's it. All right, guys. All the best. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah, and thanks to everyone for	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCdKx_CcaxA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And don't forget, folks, Basil has an outstanding show here every trading day, 10 to 11 Eastern standard time, also has a great newsletter, the opening call. Now, it's very easy to get the opening call, folks. You come over to our website at TFNN and you're going to see this right under, sorry, you're going to see it right under featured content. You just hit that button and you are off to the races and you'll understand how this market works. Basil Chapman, how you doing? Well, off to the races, I'm not sure what we call this one, this is on the race downhill slope. It is. This is a bobsled going downtown, man. It is. And what's really interesting is I had shown this chart to subscribers this morning and I said, we're going to have to watch this, let me see if I can find a chart. I know exactly what you said because I was driving and what Basil said, folks, and remember this program's archived, well, this program's archived because he was giving it 90 minutes. I was cracking up, Basil, and you said, I'm giving this down 90 minutes with that price and unfortunately it broke it, right? Yeah. And basically what I was saying is that the pattern of the candles of the 24th of January, the candle of the 24th of February and yesterday's candle and I was just to see if I can do this, I'll make it a little bit bigger. Yeah. So basically what we're looking at is that the candle I call the Chapman Way of Roman candle that is in the, oh, I don't even want to talk about it, in the S&P monthly chart but it's red, when it's green and at lows, you can get a really strong rally, which is what we got on the 24th of January. You see this big green candle where we've got a tiny little wick, a long wick at the bottom and then it closes a half to two thirds of the low and then we got the rally from $33,150 to $35,824 and then it plunged again and made us exactly the same candle on the 24th of February called Chapman Way of Roman candle, tiny little wick, long body but a green one and the root of the thumb is how quickly it can close above the left side high. And look what happened, eventually it went to the high of $35,372, peak deep pulls back, made that Thursday, I think it was this last Thursday, big spike to $35,492 and plummeted down and then yesterday we had the same candle but three times in a row without great success I say to subscribers, we actually went along yesterday morning, we got out of it this morning for a profit and I said, let me, I can take this away now and then I said, if there is a move below, this is what you were talking about, below $35,590 that holds for about 90 minutes, watch out because we could test the low of the day, well the low so far today is $33,312, yesterday's low was $3,323 so that's exactly what we did. And you were talking about the closing bell and immediately after that we have, does Microsoft and Google, but does Microsoft also announce straight away? They do. It's literally within seconds, you'll see Microsoft and Google come out with it and of course what ends up happening, folks the futures are open for another 15 minutes, yeah so it's going to affect the market for sure. And because the futures are open that's very different to if you have this overnight slump or big move up and then by the morning anything can happen by the time the market opens but when this, when you've got 15 minutes, it's a lifetime 15 minutes. So the question I was getting through this morning is for me, this is for my subscribers who are going to call, this is one of our biggest cash positions we've had in a very long time, we have very few long positions, the latest ones that we have are actually holding quite nicely even in this market right now. But what I wanted to do is to show them that if the XLP, which is the S&P select staples starts to fall here, that's been the leader because it's defensive, not defense like Raytheon or Rocky Martin, but defensive, Procter and Gamble et cetera. If you lose that, so that's the one thing, so I'm a little worried on that, that bias is to say we've had support, but now you're getting fewer and fewer sectors that we had the support of the oil, the chevrons of the world helping the Dow, but all of a sudden we might lose that. So the reason why I went through some of the Microsoft and Google this morning is the chart pattern, this is, they're on the cusp, but you know, you always talk about ice. Yes. The 270 round number on the 8th of March for Microsoft goes to a peak D, that's what we're always looking for in the Chapman wave for a buy mode. And then it plunges, it comes down and yesterday there was 270.77. So the thinking that I had was if Microsoft announces good news and maybe they say they're buying back whatever number of shares and it helps, I don't know what they can say about the outlook and that's really the big issue right now. And Google, they're going to have to come up with something absolutely amazing. And Google's the same thing, look at the chart, this arch formation, look at that, we broke it, this is the generation that I always talk about. Yes. So all I'm saying is that, I've been saying for weeks and weeks, raise cash, have cash handy, this is a market that is highly vulnerable. We have found really nice stocks in the good, short-term good percentage gains. But I don't see anything right now that I can feel, I can latch on to and say, hey, I don't care if it pulls back 6% or 8%, but things can fall 15% to 20% here because we saw that in the huge big caps. So while looking out, I think so far I'm still in the cap that says we've used up a tremendous amount of time. I mean, if you look at the Dow, it's been in a consolidation with all the bad news that's going on, when you go from 36, let's call it 37,000 down to 32,000, we're just at 33,000, 350, we're still in the range. So the whole thing is, if we've usurped time rather than price, because under these conditions, you'd say, I can understand if the market was down 18% or 20%, we aren't there yet, so far it's held well. This is going to be the key. Do we see Microsoft and Google and Amazon and Apple this week save the day and at least use time rather than price? Oh, phew. Get that life jacket out. The real question is, who has that life jacket, man? No doubt. You have to be careful right now, yes. You have a great one, the safe one, Basil, you look forward to the show tomorrow. Thank you, Tom. You too. Thank you. Stay right there.

I've had one apology today, that's from Alison Harris. First of all, I welcome the minister to the meeting. Before the evidence session begins, there's one piece of business that the committee must decide first, and that's the decision on taking business in private. It's proposed that the committee takes item 5 in private, and this item is consideration of the evidence heard in relation to the European withdrawal bill. Does the committee agree to take this item in private? A gender item 2 is the prescription Scotland bill at stage 1 evidence. It's the last of our planned evidence sessions on the bill. We've got before us today the minister-in-charge of the bill, Annabelle Ewing, welcome. She's the minister for community safety and legal affairs, and she's accompanied by three Scottish Government officials, Jill Clark, head of the civil law reform unit, Michael Paparakis, civil law policy manager, and Neil Mogey, who's been here before. Solicitor, constitution and civil law, welcome to all of you. I'll open the session and we'll just start off with a general question. I suppose it's directed at yourself, minister. If you could just tell us why the Government decided to implement the Scottish Law Commission's report on prescription and what policy benefits do you think it will bring? Well, good morning. Thank you, convener. Can I just maybe start by referring members to my entry in the register of interests room? They will find that I am a member of the Lost Society of Scotland, that I do hold a current practising certificate, albeit that I'm not currently practising. The policy objectives behind the prescription bill are to ensure that there is clarity and certainty and fairness in the approach to prescription such that, in turn, the issues of legal certainty are very much brought to the fore. Of course, all these things are balancing acts but it is hoped that the bill has secured through the very hard work of the Scottish Law Commission working in tandem with many stakeholders during its consultation process. It is hoped that people will consider that the bill has struck that balance as between the respective interests of the creditor and the debtor. Meanwhile, recognising that there is an overall objective to be secured, providing legal certainty, which is a benefit to wider society. That, in a nutshell, is the objective of the bill. As it stands currently, what do you think are the gaps in that that need to be addressed? Well, the Scottish Law Commission made various comments in that regard and what they have made clear in terms of their work on this is that they are not looking at the law of prescription as a whole, they are looking at the law of negative prescription, and they are doing that because issues had arisen, which in their view needed to be addressed sooner rather than later, including in particular the issue to do with discoverability and latent defects. I am sure that we will probably get on to that, so I won't belabor the point at this stage. However, the issues had arisen as a result of a Supreme Court ruling that created some confusion as to what people understood to be the existing position under the Scottish Law. Anticipating other potential problems, the Scottish Law Commission felt that it would be very helpful for its contribution to keeping the Scottish Law under review that those issues were addressed in legislation. We have a question from Stuart McMillan. Good morning, minister. Minister, we know that the Scottish Government carried out a limited consultation on the proposals on the bill. In a previous evidence session, Joe Clark had mentioned and gave the list of organisations that were consulted. Can you explain the decision, given that the Scottish Government consultation might have attracted interest from other organisations and other stakeholders, in particular from welfare rights organisations? With the approach that has taken us far to the Scottish Law Commission bills that come to the DPLRC and are therefore regarded as being not particularly controversial, and that is the remit of them falling within your jurisdiction, convener, we adopted the procedure that has already been adopted. I think that this is the fourth such bill, and I am sure that Stuart McMillan, who sat on the committee, will be able to give me chapter and verse on all the other three, but one of which involved myself under my current ministerial portfolio duties that was a third party rights bill, a succession bill and the current writing counterpart bill. The procedure has been the same with regard to three of those four bills, in that it is the SLC which produces a discussion paper, it then takes on board the views expressed, it then proceeds to consultation on a draft bill and then the Scottish Government then will proceed with a targeted consultation, which is in fact the process that happened with regard to the prescription bill. The one exception was the succession legislation and that was because there had been quite a gap as between the SLC's processes and when we came to be looking at legislation in this Parliament, so it was felt that we would require to proceed with a fuller consultation at that time, but this is the process that has been followed with these types of bills and this is the same procedure that we adopted with regard to this bill. On the organisations that the Government had to consult with, it seemed to be quite focused when we put out our call for evidence. We've had other organisations and stakeholders contact us and certainly the evidence session that we had last week particularly from Mike Daley at the Government Law Centre was extremely interesting and opened up some other avenues for discussion. Like all that, the Government Law Centre, Welfare rights organisations, Citizens Advice Scotland, were they considered before the Scottish Government undertook its consultation or I'm just keen to try and understand the rationale for maybe not asking them before? I would have to see the list of all the bodies that we, as Scottish Government, wrote to in terms of the consultation processes that the SLC conducted. Again, I would need to confer back to the list of the initial discussion paper and then the draft consultation. Obviously, anybody can respond to a consultation and it's up to them to do so or not as they wish. I have read all the evidence sessions and I guess we'll get on to the substance of that shortly as well. In terms of the consultation, in terms of the number of people that have been engaged, I think there's been quite a few. Obviously, it is open at all times for Citizens Advice and others to make their views known. I understand as regards to Citizens Advice that they may have indicated a while back that they weren't intending to comment on everything, which I think had been the previous position but had to focus on particular issues of concern to them. In the end of the day, it's up if individuals or organisations wish to respond to a consultation. Obviously, their views are most welcome and it's up to them. We can't force people to respond. It's up to them to do so or not. OK. Thank you. I'm relatively new to the committee so I'm not too afraid with the background of consultations that take place in that regard. I must admit that I'm quite concerned about consultations that just focus on a certain group or a certain sector. I don't have the list in front of me, but it appears that the consultation is targeted very much at the business community and professional bodies. Given that this is dealing with debts for some people, it's dealing with benefits. I'm quite surprised that we're not bringing in bodies that would advocate on behalf of people and work on behalf of people who are in that position. Therefore, I'm concerned that the evidence has been taken too narrow because when we had the representatives here last week, they put a different perspective on some of the issues. The consultation approach that has been adoptive with regard to prescription bill has been the same as the other three of the other four DPLRC SLC bills. That's the first point to reiterate. In terms of acting for people with debt, it's Listers Act for both parties. That was a point that was made in an evidence session with members of the legal profession. Maybe it was yourself, Mr Finlay, who asked directly, do you represent both sides? They said, yes, we do. That's important to bear in mind as well. Obviously, we're keen for as wide a consultation as possible. Individual stakeholders are absolutely free to make their views known. I'm pleased that you had the evidence session that you did last week. We can't force people to submit. I think that's the position as it is. To characterise all the different bodies that have been involved since the start of the SLC's work, for example, it includes local authorities. It's perhaps unfair just to characterise the engagement as just with business and people not representing debtors. Clearly, you've already heard evidence to the effect that people you have had before you in earlier evidence sessions represent different parties that you've all had academics. It's fair to say that there has been a wide reach. Submit to your consultation, you've got to know that it exists. Just a moment. Of course, solicitors represent both sides, but the vast majority of people who are in, who are subject to see benefits over payments or council tax debts, they'll be represented usually to a welfare rights organisation rather than a solicitor. One would have to go and get the evidence to quantify that in broad brush. That may well be the case. As to the percentages involved again, one would need to get the statistics to indicate what that was. It's very clear that the process of engagement has been wide. As I say, local authorities have been involved and made submissions to the SLC. I would need to go back and check every single organisation that was involved because I don't have that information at the top of my head. I'd be happy to supply that to the committee. Obviously, the committee's role itself in calling for evidence as well has an important role to play in terms of scrutiny. I think that taking all those approaches and looking at them overall, it's fair to say that one will capture all different views as appropriate and that's quite right and proper. We won't labour that point any longer. It's a risen because we all found last week's evidence session quite very useful. I move on to question about section 3 of the bill, which extends the five-year prescription to all statutory obligations to pay money. The list of exceptions to the general rule lengthened as a result of the consultation process. We acknowledge the SLC's point that the policy choice, and that's between five years or 20 years, is for several reasons, not as stark as it first seems, but various stakeholders have suggested to us that the exceptions are essentially political choices for the Government and Parliament. Can you explain to us the policy rationale for each of the main exceptions listed in section 3? To say that the list lengthened, this section simply restates the status quo with regard to these matters, with regard to taxes, with regard to social security benefits, with regard to maintenance payments. It restates the status quo of the 20-year prescription, Scotland's negative prescription. I don't think that it's quite right to characterise it as extending it because that may be deemed to be interpreted in a slightly different way. As regards HMRC and, obviously, now Revenue Scotland, it had, I understand, put forward to the SLC clear policy objectives, which in their view justified the prescriptive period being negative 20 years, and the SLC accepted their position, and that is one of the recommendations, and we have accepted all of the recommendations put forward by the SLC substantive recommendations in their draft bill. This is to do with an opportunity to collect and so forth. The reserve social security benefits, again that is restating the present position. It is a 20-year negative prescription in Scotland, and in fact it is mirroring what happens in the rest of the UK anyway, because although on the face of it there is a six-year short negative prescription in England and Wales, as far as the DWP is concerned, I think they have made that clear to you in their recent submission of 23 April, that actually they are in a position to pursue well beyond the six-year period. Again, they argue, their argument is public policy objectives, but also in terms of what they say, and I think they reiterated that in their recent submission, they say that in the way in which they seek to recover over payments, taking into account that they can deduct from benefits, taking into account that they say that they have a particular approach looking at hardship so that they may extend the period of repayment over a considerable period of time to facilitate individual circumstances. They say that they may have to queue repayment arrangements because a number of benefits may be involved, and they say that they therefore feel as a matter of public policy that public policy is best served by having the status quo maintained. Maintenance agreements, I think, to ensure that the money's due from the person required to pay the maintenance obligation is in fact secured and that people are made to take responsibility for their children financially. Those are the first three. The council tax non-dom rates, again, were representations made by some local authorities to the SLC at the time of its discussion consultation paper published in February 2016. They argued that, in effect, the public policy considerations governing HMRC and Revenue Scotland were essentially the same for them. Again, the status quo that they asked to be maintained has been the position and vis-a-vis what is happening down south again. I understand that, although the six-year short-negative prescription is apparently in operation nonetheless, if a liability order is secured within that period of time, that can be enforced by local authorities elsewhere in the UK without a limit of time. I think that what they are arguing is that the status quo and the public policy considerations for it and that it ensures from their perspective as far as the HMRC and the DWP is concerned that the arrangements are broadly in line with what happens elsewhere in the UK. You are presumably agreeing with the DWP? With regard to the DWP, what has to be more in mind is that sadly, in my view, not the view of many members on this table except Mr Arthur and Mr McMillan, we do not believe that the UK Government should have jurisdiction over any benefits. However, sadly, that is still the case. About 85 per cent of spend... We are not really here to get into that. No, I know, but I am just trying to explain if I may. You asked the question, do I agree, so I am just trying to give you an answer. Some 85 per cent of spend is still decided further to rule set for the future. You have the reserved benefits and then you have the policy, which is also reserved about how you operate the benefit system. That, too, is reserved. It is important to note that they have this different system in place in terms of what we propose to do under our new social security agency, which was passed at stage 3 last week. We will have a different approach, but as far as their approach is concerned, what they argue and what they said to you in their letter of 23 April is that they have this system of organising how the repayment is to take effect, on which they can seek repayment is different from what we are proposing here in Scotland. If I could quote briefly one troubling, very troubling small section of their letter, and it was paragraph 13, if I just quote that from the DWP, it could also lead to greater pressure, if you bring the prescription period forward to five years. It could also lead to greater pressure to secure full repayments of debt within a five-year period, plus, under mine or at least blunt, the long-established hardship procedures that the department has to balance recovery against welfare needs. That would place debtors in a worse position than they are now, if there is an expectation to pay debts off quicker and hence at an increased rate of payment. The Scottish Government sadly does not have any jurisdiction over the policy decisions concerning the operation of reserve benefits. That is a matter for Westminster. Taking that into account, what I would say seems to be a clear shot across the bows here about looking at this issue, I do not want to put these vulnerable people in a worse position as far as reserve benefits are concerned, convener. I think that that would be extremely unhelpful. In that context, I have to look at what the DWP is saying, because they are the ones that are in control of the matter. Mike Daley, who was in front of us last week, has written a blog on this. I will just read out a paragraph of that and see if you agree with it. In relation to social security benefits, we believe that there is no justification for not having all devolved and reserved benefits subject to the five-year prescription period. Is it inequitable that people have a month to appeal a benefit decision while the DWP would have 20 years to pursue reserve benefit debts? What would your response be to that? Basically, what I have said before, we do not control the way in which the reserve benefits are operated, sadly. That is a matter for the DWP. I am sure that many members around the table have individual experiences where that has not been a very positive experience for the constituent, but that is nonetheless a situation that we are presented with. As regards what we hope to do here in Scotland, we hope to do things very differently because we want our social security system to be based on the key principles of dignity, fairness and respect. In that regard, the grounds for recovery of overpayment in Scotland will be different, so it will not include where there has been simply an error on the part of the agency, rather there would have to be some fault on the part of the recipient where you should be aware that there was a mistake. If you suddenly get a vast sum of money into your account, the likelihood is that it is not your lucky day that there is a mistake made. That is going to be a key difference in terms of the approach to recovery taken by the new agency, social security agency in Scotland. That is not the position of the DWP. Again, I am sure that many members around this table will have had cases where the DWP is coming back to the recipient for quite sizable sums of money where they have made the mistake and we are going to be adopting a different approach. Of course, we have jurisdiction over the matter including all aspects of it so that we can do something different. Finally, I would say with regard to the issue of prescription itself. If it is the case that the Parliament would be seeking to amend the prescription powers with regard to obligations to repay reserved benefit over payments that would seem to raise issues of legislative competence that the Scottish Government would have to consider very carefully. I have asked a few questions there so I will allow Neil Findlay to come in and ask a question about council tax. In relation to council tax and business rates, there appears to be some uncertainty over how councils deal with that. Using five years or 20 md, is there some uncertainty and will the bill resolve those uncertainties? What I understand from the process thus far is that certain councils, some of the larger councils including Glasgow and Fife, Southland made representations to the February 16 stage of the proceedings on the part of the SLC and indicated that they wished to see retention of the status quo which is 20-year negative prescription and they indicated the public policy considerations they felt were applicable which basically was reiterating why the HMRC and Revenue Scotland feel that there is a public policy consideration there and those were the representations made. Now, obviously I note that technical questions have arisen in the committee as to exactly what the current practice is in every single 32 local authorities in Scotland and certainly we will be seeking further information from COSLA but of course it's entirely appropriate for the committee itself to write to COSLA to seek clarification of these points. So I'm not quite sure do you think there's uncertainty or not? What I'm saying is that having listened to read the evidence of the committee from my understanding of the submissions made to the SLC local authorities are seeking. Now, I note that you Mr Finlay have suggested that this is not the position throughout every single of the 32 local authorities in Scotland so we will be seeking clarification but I would imagine on that and the general public policy considerations that have been raised that the committee may wish to seek clarification from COSLA but that's up to the committee. The law society and others say that in relation to council tax that the exception for council tax is unfair. It might discourage councils from collecting debts promptly but also debts should not be pursued over decades of time and we know that the shorter period in England exists so it really is a political choice not to extend that so could you maybe explain the reason behind that? Yes, just pick up a few points. First of all, this is the status quo so this has been the position for some time now that it's been a 20 year negative prescription vis-a-vis council tax and non-dom rates. Secondly, it's not quite correct to say that the positioning in England is a flat six year and that's it, that's not the case. They can proceed with liability orders which then can be enforced without a limit of time and it's important to note. Do you know how often those are? Well, I don't have chapter and verse about English court proceedings in front of me, I guess we can seek to try and obtain information but that is the fact that liability orders can be pursued and in terms of the political position this is a request that came from local authorities and indeed some of the largest local authorities in Scotland including Glasgow and Fife this was their request that the SLC then reflected upon and made the recommendation as appears currently in the the legislation, the draft bill. So that is where we are today and if it is the case Mr Finlay that you're suggesting that local authorities don't want this to happen then again the need to seek clarification from COSLA becomes more imminent. You're expressing the view of local authorities there's many things local authorities want that the government ignores they want more money to run services that are currently being cut so you're saying that whatever local authorities ask the Scottish Government they will deliver for self-evidently that's not the case but what I'm asking about is the issue around the fact that they're going to have a six year period in England and Wales but I've explained that the six year period is a bit of a misnomer because the six year period a liability order liability order can be secured and then there's actually there's no limitation on time so I think it is important Are you saying that there's going to be no difference between Scotland and the rest of the UK in England and Wales? I'm not saying that the position is analogous to and to suggest that it's simply six years and then it all stops it's not really quite correct convener as to what is happening as a matter of practising in England and Wales and going back on to the point of local authorities the SLC as I said proceeded with a consultation local authorities responded including some of the largest local authorities in Scotland their view was and they set it out that for the public policy considerations of HMRC in New Scotland that they felt that they required the same approach in order to ensure that they had the opportunity to maintain good order with regard to the obligation so to them and if I could say that obviously local authorities very important state code in Scotland along with many others and we listened to all views in terms of budget of course we had proceeded with a fair settlement of £1 billion in the budget that Mr Finlay didn't support which represented an increase in income and capital notwithstanding the cuts to the Scottish Government budget from Westminster so I think we're probably digressing to another area convener but that is the position and I think it would be very important to have further engagement with COSLA just to tease out some of these issues Will you get into the budget Mr Finlay No, I'm sorry I think we have received no evidence that I am aware of from anyone in relation to the situation in England other than to say England and Wales other than to say that they have a six-year period and what has been proposed would be a worse situation than we do have in England and Wales that's the only evidence that I have heard from people who have come before the committee if the minister is using the situation in England and Wales to rebut that then we need evidence from the Government that says in England this is the situation this is how debt is recovered after the six-year period this is how many cases are coming forward and by the way what we are proposing is a better system but we have had no evidence of that if we have the evidence and consider it fairly because what we want is the fairest possible system what appears to be being proposed is not the fairest system Minister, if you could perhaps write to us after the meeting we're trying to obtain as much information as we can Mr Finlay's right, the first we've heard of it are the only evidence we've had is that there's a six-year limit in England and Wales so this business about liability is new to us we'll try to obtain as much information as we can to write to the committee in relation to more payments and penalties of reserve social security benefits can you confirm that the exception is within devolved competency of the Scottish Parliament when you say the exception what specifically the recovery in relation to the prescription period relating to overpayments of reserve benefits I had just said a moment ago but I'll reiterate that as regards the issue of prescriptive periods for obligations concerning overpayment of reserve benefits if any amendment were sought to be made to the status quo that would raise issues of legislative competence so I'll try to look at very carefully because the advice that we've got is within devolved competence well as I say but have you not looked at that already? said well with respect the bill is presented as it is and for the reasons stated in particular the practical issue of the DWP clearly indicating that if it doesn't have this approach it may have a different approach but it might not be as beneficial to individual applicants and obviously one has to weigh up all issues including practical impacts of any course of action but as I say the issue that the member raised as I had already said a moment ago raises issues of legislative competence which would require to be considered very carefully by the Scottish Government I wonder if I could put that to Mr Wojie since he's a solicitor have you made that consideration that the department weighed up potential differences that could emerge in terms of the competence? I would just reiterate what the minister said have you allowed to say yes or no? I think that amending the current exception does raise issues of legislative competence which we'd need to consider carefully if that was to happen okay several stakeholders have suggested that it would be fairer for debtors and we would encourage the DWP to be more prompt in its debt recovery if the exception for reserved benefits and tax credits were removed, what do you say to that? What I would say is that that is perhaps unknowable, my experience of the DWP I have to say is nothing happens terribly quickly but having said that what I can go on is what they have said publicly in their memo to the committee of 23 April where and I read it out where they seem to be saying that if you were to bring forward because they have different technical methods of recovery as well and different ways of doing that so if you were to bring all this forward to a five year period that it could be therefore that some of the ways in which they proceed that actually mitigating effect for the recipient may no longer be available to them and that this therefore could end up having a detrimental effect on the recipient and I'm sure none of us would want to do something that puts these vulnerable people into a worse position than many of them currently are. We'll move on to another area of questioning and that's on forfeiture Stuart McMillan Minister an earlier version of the proposals had a specific exception to five year prescription for forfeiture mirroring the legislation that applies to England and Wales can you explain why that provision was removed please? My understanding is that as a matter of technicality the issues with regard to forfeiture once you establish the obligation which is then subject to the normal prescriptive period the forfeiture allows you to enforce that in certain ways so customs and exercise use this for example apparently you can see shit and so forth so this is an ancillary element so basically if you have as long as the obligation the overarching obligation in terms of whatever the debt is due then you will have the ancillary powers of forfeiture so it actually is a matter of technical drafting it was considered unnecessary to repeat the exception it was there if the obligation is persists then the ancillary powers of enforcement in terms of forfeiture will also persist so it wasn't deemed necessary to make that point again because that was deemed to be axiomatic from the the obligation itself which was subject to the normal prescriptive prescriptive rules I'm sure I'm not explaining this in the best way I can I'm a bit legalese here but that is basically the feeling that it was actually a matter of technical drafting there was no attempt to to put it this way there was no attempt to change the outcome it was just a matter of technical drafting that it was deemed from a legal perspective it was not actually to be necessary but you mentioned the ship there also that covers an aspect of goods but there was certainly a committee we were in previous discussions were considering the issue of unpaid taxes and we had that concern that the general exception relating to taxes wouldn't cover all situations where forfeiture is actually used in practice and accordingly removing the specific exception might take away the opportunity to actually clarify how prescription applies to forfeiture more generally okay well what I can say to the member is I understand that the feeling is that actually everything that has needed to be captured has been captured but what I will do is undertake to go away and have a further reflection on that point convener and report back okay bill Bowman morning some questions on discoverability section 5 of the bill sets out the new test associated with the start date for five-year prescription in relation to the obligation to pay damages the third part of the new test requires the pursuer to know the identity of the defender or defenders before the five-year prescription starts to run can you outline how this might work where there is joint and several liability and we are particularly interested in the situation where other potential defenders were not involved in the neglect but were only linked to the case financially okay starting with the last point in joint and several liability I have seen certain references to joint and several liability as regards tenants for example with council tax and now in this instance joint and several liability is a general principle of scott's law and this bill sits alongside scott's law so this bill is not changing the rules in joint and several liability this bill is looking at the narrow focus on rules of negative prescription in scotland so this bill operates in the context of what already is the position for joint and several liability in scotland and therefore one would look at the facts and circumstances of each case to determine as regards joint and several liability what the legal position would be this bill rather looks at the position from the point of view of negative prescription to determine when the start date runs what date the start date runs from the relevant prescriptive period comes to an end and so forth so I'm afraid that this bill is not attempting to deal with all aspects of scott's law including joint and several liability it is just dealing with negative prescription and one would need to look in the instance that Mr Bowman gave to the facts and circumstances of the relevant case to determine what the joint and several liability in that instance case actually was so where the period starts to run is determined on what then where there are unknown well there may be unknown but if you can identify one I mean if your joint and several liability then you are liable for the actings of the other and so if you can identify a debtor then you will be able to well in that instance that your prescriptive period will start to run assuming you've lost and that has been as a result of an act or a mission of that person and that person be it only one of the parties has been identified in circumstances where you then are able to identify in your example other parties who were involved in the actual mission there can be different start dates from which the prescriptive period starts to run I think that is clear in the bill so if you discover someone else who's joint and several liability well not under necessarily if you discover somebody else there's not a joint and several liability situation because that is subject to the rules and joint and several liability but if you know if there are various actors involved various players involved in the loss through their acts or emissions then there can be different start dates sorry I didn't mean to conflate the two but there can be different start dates then for the run-off of the prescriptive period the joint and several liability rules under Scots law and you would need to look at those rules to determine in that instant case that you have raised what the position would be but in terms of the normal approach of joint and several liability is that if you agree to be joint and several libo then or you are deemed to be joint and several libo then you are joint and several libo and that's it so that's always got legal advice about what obligations you take on in life okay so I'm not disadvantaged by this change here if there's a joint and several liability and then I have to go on to pursue the joint and several liability individuals to get payment so who's joint and several liability so you're saying to I'm just getting a bit confused with you I thought I had got your example but you've now veered off to from which perspective so the prescriptive period will start to run for the benefit of the creditor when three things in terms of the bill anyway as proposed three things are known one is that there has been loss injury or damage two that has resulted from an act or a mission of a particular person or persons and three you are able to identify who that person or persons people are okay so I'm making a claim and against the person that I think has been the person who's done the damage shall we say for some reason that person doesn't pay and then I want to go against the joint and several partners that I then pursue is there anything in the new law that brings that five year prescription to prevent me going against the joint and several individuals because I haven't gone after them within the five years right okay I see where you're guessing from well I guess in these hypotheticals why wouldn't you necessarily know the identity but taking examples to extremes where for whatever reason you may not know the identity of the other parties I mean you could I guess adopt our kind of belt and braces approach but the point of this bill is to hope to provide as much legal certainty as it's possible you can't legislate for every single individual case given that you're thinking about it is there some further clarity well I'm certainly happy to again look into that specific example that you just raised there in terms of when then so if you identify one say there's two people you identify two debtors you identify one of them and for whatever reason you decide it's certainly not worth proceeding with legal action against them so you're then sort of trying to find out is there somebody else and you feel that you're running up against the end of the prescriptive period so in the extreme case where the joint central liability would be such that you couldn't possibly identify almost around the same time the second party which I think would take you to a certainly less common circumstance but we shall look into that Joe we shall, okay, thank you Thank you The committee heard some oral evidence to the effect that the third part of the new test in section 5 might increase the complexity of law in some situations including whether there are multiple potential defenders as a result of complex, contractual or corporate structures do you accept that this criticism of the new test and is the risk offset by other benefits to it? Well, I think if we go back to first principles obviously the reasoning behind this reformulation of the discoverability test is to seek to facilitate fairness for the, in this case, the creditor and that is balanced with other aspects of the bill which is looking at the position from the debtor and taking into account the wider public benefit of greater legal certainty so I think in the incident that you've just outlined Mr Bowman that in those circumstances you could sue the different providers at different times so there shouldn't really be any particular problem at the present time what you would do to preserve your prescription period is you would sort of just put out a number of protective routes because you're not entirely sure who you should be suing to break the prescriptive period running and of course that is not really the best use of resources for anybody for either side of that legal dispute or indeed for the courts and society at large it's not a very sensible way there must be better ways to do this so I think the feeling is on balance that the option that the SLC because they did put forward a number of options in the consultation that the option that has been decided upon by the SLC and represented in this bill is a reasonable one and of course there is a counter veiling issue of the need to pursue reasonable diligence and a kind of already a balance written into the new rules and I think that it seems to me reading the evidence that the balance of the evidence suggests that this is a solution that is certainly an improvement on the current position and of course that was as I say put into doubt as a result of the Supreme Court case in the Morrison case in 2014 because people thought they knew what the rules were and found out that actually the rules introduced appropriate fairness into the process and I think it is balanced by the reasonable diligence obligation I've got a question on the start date of 20-year prescription which is in section 8 of the bill so 20-year prescription like 5-year prescription starts from the date the obligation comes enforceable so for obligations to pay damages this is currently when the loss, injury or damage occurs so section 8 changes the start date of 20-year prescription for the obligation to pay damages it says the 20-year period should run from the date on which the defenders act or a mission actually occurred so this proposed change would be a shift in the law in favour of the defender clearly because the new start point would be much earlier than the old one in some cases and would never be later so in evidence to the committee last week Mike Daley again at the Government Law Centre suggested that section 8 was unnecessary he said each proposal in the bill should be examined on its own policy merits and it's unhelpful to regard the bill as something which has to offer benefits to both pursuers and defenders how do you respond to that viewpoint I noted Mike Daley's view as I read the evidence session of last week obviously other people have other views and if you read the SLC report where they narrate the nature of their consultation and the nature of how the work progressed I think you'll find that thus far in the balance of the evidence that the committee has had before it actually supports this provision it is indeed recognising the balancing act that has to strive to to reach a fair balance as between the interests of both sides to a claim and also representing the importance of looking at the overall picture in terms of legal certainty which we discussed as a key objective at your very first question, convener and this indeed enhances legal certainty and allows finality of course in terms of the earlier start date which is most likely to be the case as a matter of practice by looking at the date of the last the act of remission or last act or a mission it was felt that in many cases the loss can arise many years down the line and for the 20 year prescriptive period to stop to start running from them Ellen Gates' whole process quite considerably and also taking into account some years ago that of course we decided in Scotland to remove the 40 year next prescription from our legal system so this I think is reflecting that feeling that we can't go on indefinitely with having obligations extant and that this improves legal certainty okay of course if we change that start date that runs the risk of an increase in some of the harsh cases that we've taken evidence on these will be where the obligation to pay damages is extinguished without the right holder ever having even been aware that that obligation existed at all so should this risk affect the policy underpinning section 8 well I note the reference to hard cases and indeed I note that the committee has been looking at particular case which is before the petitions committee the Patterson case and I think it has been widely accepted that if there is any potential remedy for the patences it's not to be found under the law of prescription and that you know ultimately and a point well made in the SLC's report that in terms of seeking to come up with a situation that improves legal certainty you can't rely on the individual knowledge of any individual creditor that would not allow you to have a system at all and therefore you have to decide what your system is and inevitably at the margins with any cut off date there will be some hard cases but I think the point has been made by a number of people who have given oral evidence that hard cases don't make the best law so in terms of the Patterson case obviously issues have been raised around the Land Registration Act I think that the Public Audit and Post Legislature Committee is looking at that act and it may be that there are some areas of improvement there that can be made certainly I meet regularly with the Law Society of Scotland and I met with them recently the other week, two weeks ago I think now I would ask them to look at what practice rules may be in place as regards this particular issue about acknowledgement from the keeper and ensuring that the client is aware of that so there are other issues in training as a result of this case being raised but as regards the law of prescription that is not where the solution will be okay that's clear enough so section 8 the bill some concerns being expressed by stakeholders including the Law Society and the Faculty of Advocates about how it would work in relation to admissions to act and on-going breaches can you offer us any reassurance in this regard? again on section 8 we've had some concern from the Law Society and the Faculty of Advocates about how it would work in relation to admissions to act and on-going breaches okay if this is to deal with the general issue about the language of admissions acts of admissions particularly the word admissions again these are terms of art of scots law and this bill operates within the general context of scots law that these are matters that the courts look at very very frequently indeed and I think there was also from other people who gave evidence and made written submissions a feeling that these were terms of art and that the court actually deals with all this and deals with it very practically and that there wasn't really anything new here by including that particular phraseology okay so move on to another question I think that's you Stuart thank you it's regarding section 6 of the bill and that's regarding the 20 year prescription I've been able to be interrupted but it could be extended only to allow for on-going litigation or other proceedings to finish the SLC suggested in oral evidence that any extension of practice will be fairly short as courts tend to actively manage cases and don't let them drag on certainly with the challenges to the public sector finances could there be an impact upon the court system in the future if this in terms of longer delays if this were to be the case with that 20 year but also does the possibility of an extension to allow litigation to finish undermine the overall effectiveness of section 6 okay on the first issue I wouldn't have thought that there was any particular impact likely to fall on to the operation of the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service as a result of this provision on the second issue what the SLC was very keen to do was to recognise the practical situation where you may have towards the end of the 20 year negative prescriptive period an on-going court case and you know to say then that well I'm sorry because your case didn't reach the next stage by next stage that's it so all the work that's going into that court case which could be years suddenly on a very very arbitrary ground is no longer to be heard so I think the SLC was desperately trying to find a way to reflect that as a matter of practice but keep it very tight so what they have said and reproduced in the bill is that you would look at whether you would extend in effect the period only till such time was the actual case the claim was disposed of or the proceedings were brought to an end because the proceedings could be brought to an end being disposed of so I think that ensures that the extension is limited and I think it is only really reflecting as a matter of practice the situation that would pertain in those circumstances so I think that the SLC have got it absolutely right there can I just ask you one kind of re-question and I may be stretching this a wee bit the minister just to be short length of time in addition to the 20-year period sitting with your previous experience outwith Parliament would you be able to provide any indications to me if there were to be an extension what would an extension normally be would it be a few months or would it be a year or every case is different I accept but on an average basis it's not really possible to definitively say because I could say something and then actually down the line there could be a different set of circumstances and then you would say that I had not given you the correct information so I think it's fair to say that these circumstances actually will be not common as has been mentioned and it is just trying to reflect that as a matter of practicality what do you do if a case is there 19 years and two months in do you just say when you reach the 20 mark albeit that case has got another wee bit of time to go and it was felt that that was not really the most appropriate way forward okay thank you okay right I think you've won for you Mr Bowman thank you convener this is still on prescription but on property right aspects of it section 7 of the bill says that the 20-year prescription which applies rights will no longer be able to be interrupted but can be extended only to allow on-going litigation to finish now although this mirrors the approach in section 6 for personal rights the faculty of advocates and supported by other stakeholders has suggested that the approach in section 7 would not work well for property rights like servitudes in light of the evidence received are you minded to reconsider the Government's approach to section 7 is that we have carefully reflected on that we recognise the concerns that have been raised and we are reflecting on whether we need to then look at the language to make the position clear so if we feel that the language having addressed looks at all the concerns is okay then that would be one thing but we are going to reflect on that very carefully so it was a very useful point that was teased out by the evidence sessions that's work in progress it is so now on final disposal in section 12 Brodie's has raised some concerns and its written evidence relating to section 12 of the bill which defines what a final disposal is in court proceedings in particular Brodie's says section 12 in its current form does not allow for the possibility that a court or other body will grant lever permission to appeal late or will allow an appeal to be lodged late do you accept that interpretation and are you minded to propose amendments to section 12 that's another work in progress we recognise the concern that's been raised by Brodie's and we're reflecting on the matter carefully thanks Mr Bowman so there's a couple of areas there that you may it's not that we would be against many we just need to see if we feel that the language is adequate if we feel it's not adequate in light of these concerns we will look at amending it have you got a time scale for that well it would be in time for stage 2 stage 1 debate well I suppose it depends when the stage 1 debate is but I'm not sure when the stage 1 debate is it's mid June sometime in June apparently sometime in June well that is a long leading time sometimes it's much shorter so that should allow us to progress work as expeditiously as possible okay good Tom Arthur and good morning minister before turning to my main line of questioning I just wish to seek a point of clarification regarding council tax but I'd be correct understanding that liability orders in England are roughly analogous to summary warrants in Scotland they may be I wouldn't like to I referred to my entry in the residence I'm a member of the law side of Scotland I appreciate that I don't profess any particular qualification I think on this issue as we've indicated we wish to seek to obtain more information but the fact is that they do have this liability order I would appreciate that as a lay person from a limited understanding they do seem to have the same objectives and I would struck at least one website counciltaxadvisors.co.uk which is accredited by Advice UK suggests that Magistrate Courtsling within Wales granted over 1 million council tax liability orders in England so it'd be interesting just to see a greater understanding of that particular method of the colouring debt the area I want to turn to is section 13 of the bill which of course would seek to replace section 13 of the act a nice coincidence this pertains to so-called standstill agreements and would allow for a single extension of the F5 year prescription period the committee has received a range of views on this there were suggestions that such an arrangement by allowing a standstill would risk abuse by the economically stronger party in a dispute on the other hand there are some stakeholders who say that the measures don't go far enough and indeed we have taken evidence where the suggestion that as the bill stands is fine but there could be additional safeguards for example including any agreement for a standstill must be in writing and that the debtor in obligation must have taken legal or money advice now I appreciate if there's one party saying it doesn't go far enough and another party suggestion it should go further it may suggest you have found the perfect balance in the middle but I'd be keen minister to hear your views on those various policy arguments that are associated with section 13 so section 13 again recognising the balancing interests of legal certainty versus the interests of the creditor in getting a result if you like and it was felt that instead of having some generally applicable wide provision allowing for extensions of the prescriptive period which would defeat the purpose of seeking to have greater legal certainty it was felt that having this what they call a standstill provision would be helpful in facilitating resolution so that it will be available but in very under specified circumstances so as Tom Arthur rightly said it is to be only for a year's duration that period cannot be extended and also importantly it is not to be a general contractual provision it is to be invoked if you like after it can only arise after the dispute has occurred so it is very much focused on dispute resolution and I think that is a good thing I think we'd all welcome that that is a good thing and indeed we are seeking in other areas to facilitate all actions immediately going straight to court so I think that is the motivation behind it and again it is a balance to be struck in terms of the circumstances under which this provision can be invoked in terms of the inequality of arms issue it is interesting to note in the SLC's discussions in the report that also there were calls from some to consider restricting the prescriptive period it was felt very much there by some stakeholders that actually in those circumstances you could have circumstances where there might be a creditor who is less powerful than the debtor and that that would involve a real inequality of arms situation so that was a road that the SLC chose not to go down but they felt that the standstill provisions for the short negative prescription represented a balance in terms of this overall desire to have a balance between the respective interests. As to the final point of the additional safeguards, I noted that in the evidence of last week's session in particular and I had some questions about how that would work on the face of this bill I mean it may be for example that again as far as lawyers are concerned and solicitors are concerned that that would be something that law society should be asked to look at in terms of its practice rules because there may be some issues as to how it fits here. Of course if you say that you must take legal advice it may be that if you are a large organisation I don't know so there's no inequality of arms in touch with another large organisation although I suppose normally you would have solicitors but you may use in-house so does that count will you be required to take legal advice? I understand the intention here is not to get into that kind of scenario but when we're drafting legislation we have to contemplate as many possible scenarios as we can so I think what I was saying that regards to the last point is that it's certainly an issue I'm happy to go away and reflect upon but I do feel that as to whether it's on the face of this bill might not be instinctively I feel that might cause certain issues but I'm very happy to go and look at that issue and reflect on it Okay saying on section 13 there's been an argument from the authorities that rather than just allowing for extensions suspensions should be permitted as well what I understand effectively to be a pause and there has been various arguments do you think there's policy merit in this proposal? Again having read the genesis of the SLC's work I mean read the entire report and all the subsequent submissions I don't feel that I feel that the objective here has been to seek to find this balance and I think that the stance still with the safeguards employed as set forth expressly on the face of the bill is a better way to do this than a suspension and taking into account the overarching objective of legal certainty I agree with the SLC that the stance still is a better way of meeting that objective than a suspension as proposed by Brodie's and in fact I think the stance still provisions do have quite a bit of support Okay it's the final question on section 13 there have been a various legal preconditions suggesting that section 13 in its current form might raise an issue in relation to contractual limitation clauses and particularly the fear that although those clauses are common and important in practice they might be outlawed due to the current wording in section 13 How would you respond minister to the points that the practitioners are making here? I noted the points but I don't feel they're well founded I mean the contractual it's quite clear to me that contractual limitation clauses are not affected this is a bill to do with negative prescription it is important to bear in mind the very important difference in terms of limitation prescription concerns the existence of the obligation itself limitation is a procedural issue in terms of at what point you have to pursue the claim and so forth in terms of court action so the two issues are entirely separate and it is quite clear to me that there's no intention at all of impacting on contractual limitation clauses and I also feel clear from the face of the bill itself My final question is actually concerns with something that is omitted from the bill we have taken evidence that one potential further reform of the 1973 act could be with regard to the definition of legal disability it's defined currently in section 15 of the 1973 act as including on soundness of mind a term that we would probably all agree is somewhat archaic and indeed offensive one of the suggestions that we have received in the course of taking evidence is that this definition could be replaced with a definition taken from the adults within capacity Scotland Act 2000 I wonder what your thoughts are on that particular suggestion Yes, I noted the comment Dr Russell Yes, and I actually understand that this is a point that is made with regard to other legislation Again I would go back to the pointed issue which is this is the prescription bill dealing with some issues to do with negative prescription it sits alongside in the context of general Scots law principles and if one is seeking to amend general Scots law principles that apply in many other different areas one would be best to look at that through a different vehicle the danger of seeking to impact basic Scots law principles in other areas and other definitions in a bill dealing with a particular area of the law is that there is a risk that one ends up with a bit of a hotch poach and unintended consequences and as regards the particular drafting suggestion that one would refer to the adults within capacity legislation to consider at what point does the prescription period run is it the rules here or is it to be a different set of rules in terms of when for example the guardian is appointed so you get yourself into a whole other series of issues and this is dealing with the negative prescription rules to apply to general principles of Scots law as they currently stand if one feels that one wants to amend those other principles this bill would not seem to me to be particularly taking into account as I see unintended consequences that can then arise Okay, thank you I'll just come back on that because Dr Russell mentioned the 1973 act and said that the legal disability is defined in that act as including unsoundness of mind that was Dr Russell's evidence The unsoundness of mind issue is the general principle the general concept that I'm talking about Is it defined as that in that act? It's not defined It's not defined in the 1973 act which gives the court some flexibility as to how they interpret it Okay, thanks for that Any further questions from members? No Do you have any closing remarks, minister? No, I just find this very helpful, convener and I have noted the power of work that the committee has done thus far and I look forward to further engagement with the committee as we go through the next stages and we will get back to you with the information Okay, I wonder if I could ask if you could come back to us by May 11 So, thank you very much and I'll suspend the meeting briefly to allow the witnesses to leave Okay, welcome back Gender item 3 is the European U European Union withdrawal bill European Union withdrawal bill So, we've got for us Michael Russell, minister for UK negotiations on Scotland's placing Europe and his officials Gerald Byrne, head of constitutional policy Luke McBrattney, legislative consequences of EU withdrawal project Always a mouthful, minister McBrattney Graham Fisher, solicitor and team leader constitutional and civil law division Welcome to you all Minister, I believe you've got an opening statement Yes, thank you I thought it would be helpful if I laid out the issues in the memorandum as the Government sees them and thank you for invitation to give evidence here today This committee will of course be central to the programme of work required to prepare Scotland's laws for the shock of EU withdrawal Work that will be required regardless of the bill being used to get us there Work that will be required regardless of whether the UK Government and the Scottish Government agree about the bill or don't The Scottish Government has always accepted no matter how much we may regret the UK's decision to leave the EU that we must prepare responsibly for the prospect of EU withdrawal We've also said that that must be done in a way that respects devolution and we've been working intensely towards that goal for nearly a year now The Parliament has before it the position of the Scottish Government we've set out as we see it compatible with the devolution settlement Each of those options has its challenges and we don't share it from that Those challenges however aren't of our making The task of preparing for EU withdrawal would on any scenario and in any Parliament involve an extraordinary level of scale pace, complexity, uncertainty and risk There's no doubt it would be done best by co-operation and co-ordination between the Governments by each respecting the other's responsibilities by coming together when interests are aligned and by each being able to make our own preparations where that is required and I hope we can still achieve that The right way to do it would be to amend the EU withdrawal bill so that it gives the Governments of these islands their proper roles We've yet to see whether the House of Lords supports the UK Government's amendments but the position of the Scottish Government is clear and I hope could be supported across the Parliament and our view has been consistent throughout the process We've proposed two approaches to making the changes required either of which would be sufficient to allow us to recommend consent to the bill Either we would take out clause 11 and related provisions and proceed by political agreement or following the arrangements in the Scotland Act which require the consent of the Scottish Parliament to any adjustments to competence temporary or otherwise and I'm pleased that the set of amendments which would achieve that has now been tabled for House of Lords discussion by Lord Hope and Lord Mackay of Plashfairn The Parliament passed the continuity bill overwhelmingly as the best way to prepare for EU withdrawal if agreement can't be reached The policy memorandum lodged alongside the continuity bill sets out various scenarios of how the Parliament could proceed in these circumstances but given an agreement hasn't yet been reached Parliament must now finally decide on three things Whether it agrees with the Scottish Government that the powers set out in clause 11 and related provisions aren't acceptable in these circumstances to ensure continuity of law in Scotland and the scope of the powers to ensure that this law operates effectively and supports co-operation between the Governments whilst maintaining the rights of the Parliament It's open to the Scottish Parliament to withhold consent to EU withdrawal bill given alternative arrangements in the form of the continuity bill are in place or the Parliament could consent to parts of the withdrawal bill primarily for the fixing powers of the UK ministers to be used in deforved areas which would allow the Governments to co-operate A third option would be for Parliament to decide that sufficient changes to be made to the EU withdrawal bill to address the concerns expressed by this committee and the Finance and Constitution Committee Consent could therefore be given to the whole bill or the whole bill except for clause 11 and schedule 3 the parts that impose new and unwanted restrictions on our devolution settlement The Government has invited Parliament to consider these options and to set out its views Legislative consent is in the end given or withheld by Parliament and I look forward to helping Parliament to come to that conclusion As I've said, the UK Government was then put forward amendments to the bill to reflect the extent and form of the consent provided by this Parliament That is what our constitutional system requires Deciding whether to take account of legislation passed by this Parliament Deciding whether to follow the constitutional rules is not optional The UK Government acknowledged that at the outset when it asked for the consent of the Parliament to the bill and it must recognise that fact But whatever the Parliament eventually decides that shouldn't be the end of the road for this There has to be co-operation and co-ordination between the Governments given the scale of the task that we're committed to that co-operation Thank you minister So I think we'll probably have some general questions I've first before we get into the meat of it So Perhaps you could just clarify things for me, you've put options in front of Parliament in the memorandum There's three options and you say that Parliament must finally decide What's the timescale for that? Well, the timescale is likely to be the third reading of the bill The House of Lords As you will know the regulation requires us to pass or not pass the legislative consent motion before the final amending stage of the bill That's anticipated to be the third reading and that is likely to take place on the 16th of May The House of Lords timetable dictates that but the 16th of May and it's our intention with the permission of the Parliament to have the final debate on this in the Parliament on the 15th of May so it will, I think, go to the wire but, as I indicated tomorrow's House of Lords report stage on the devolution clause is very significant and there are amendments there which could resolve this issue Okay, when were they tabled? They were tabled The closing date for tabling was last night The convention I've found I have to know a bit about House of Lords procedures which is a bit surprising The convention is that the Government tables a week before the debate than members up until two days before the debate so the amendments were obviously finally tabled last night and are in the order paper today There are also amendments in the name of Jim Wallace and Daffod Wigley I think supported by David Steele that also are helpful but the amendments tabled by Lord Hope and Lord Mackay are the objectives Okay Presumably you're going to be having further discussions, as you have been with the UK Government and maybe the Welsh Government as well There's a GMC meeting tomorrow afternoon in London I'm due to give evidence to the Finance and Constitution Committee tomorrow morning but I hope to weigh in time to get to a GMC meeting in London tomorrow afternoon Could that meeting resolve any outstanding issues? It certainly could One way forward is for the UK Government to accept the amendments that are in the House of Lords and as we've indicated the amendments that come from Lord Hope and Mackay would we think do the job that would be a way forward and we are looking for that way forward and discussion will continue and the GMC will no doubt consider those matters Okay Last week we had a situation where the Welsh Government I know you've been working closely with basically agreed with the UK Government and you don't Why has there been that divergence do you think? I think that would really have to be answered by the Welsh Government but I think that we have to recognise the context in which they're working is one in which Wales voted to leave the EU so that's a significant difference in our positions I think also that the Welsh have a different system of devolution they've only moved to the reserved powers system on the 1st of April they had a conferred powers system before so they have a different system of devolution but in the end of course there's a political decision to be made and the decision that we reached was that the proposals did not meet the basic test of consent that we had and that was confirmed for us when we saw the amendments to the bill which I think everybody would have to admit we're not terribly well drafted in terms of securing support I'll open up to other members if you've got any questions Yes, Stuart Thank you, convener Minister, just in your opening comments excuse me, you opened your comments and spoke about the option 2 and the amendments put down by Lord Swope and Lord Mackay and you also spoke about the Scotland Act in section 30 and the issue of the consent decision which in the previous Parliament's session when I was on the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee and the Referno Bill Committee and that section 30 process was extremely important and it showed the issue of co-operation and co-ordination between the two Governments and certainly regarding the section 30 of the Scotland Act orders adjusting the competence of the Scottish Parliament must also be passed by this Scottish Parliament and certainly from my reading of the UK Government's amendments to clause 11 this Parliament sent notice of proposed orders but they are not subject to any procedure formal scrutiny here and do you think that this will provide sufficient scrutiny to this Parliament and also to this committee in terms of decisions which will actually affect the Parliament? No, that is a key point that we have to consider in these matters the root of this difficulty lies in the desire in the EU withdrawal bill to have a second backstop to be able to overrule this Parliament there is already process within the Scotland Act I mean I don't like it I said I wouldn't want that but there is a process in the Scotland Act that allows this Parliament to be overruled that is at the end of the day the basis of devolution that is because Westminster is sovereign according to that interpretation so to put a second backstop in you have to ask why is this happening and when that backstop is put in is that no matter what the Parliament did it would be overruled is unacceptable now the section 30 orders require the approval of both Parliaments and that is the way to proceed that is what is written into devolution and all we are saying is let's abide by the settlement that exists and the choice that we have laid out is either to take out that second backstop in its entirety which would be then to have a written agreement between the Parliaments or if that is not acceptable to revert to what already exists and the section 30 orders are what already exists and provided we can do that then the system will work because that's the system we have and actually that system has worked since 1999 we've never been in a position where the prospect is that the Parliament will be overruled but that's the position we're in now so we're saying I think as productively and positively we can let's revert to the existing system of devolution which nobody voted to change Any questions? I just want it to be absolutely clear on the record that if the amendments that go through this week that would be sufficient for the Scottish Government that's absolutely clear Those amendments were sent to all members of the House of Lords by the First Minister in a letter to the Lord Speaker at the end of last week so those amendments are amendments which we have gone up and which we agree with they have been tabled by unimpeachable individuals who have been incredibly helpful during this process and who might have a great deal of dialogue and were they to be passed in their entirety that would resolve the issue For me and for my party we've been consistent all the way through in supporting the principle of devolution I don't think anyone could say we haven't been whether that has been in relation to the referendum on independence or otherwise we've been absolutely consistent in defending the principle of devolution and that's where we stand at the moment and you're right in relation to the Scotland Act but the reality is that there has never been a time when that has been overturned by the UK Government and long may that continue because that's the principle of if powers aren't written down then they're devolved it's the absolute for me the red line so I think there's a lot of agreement on that one thing that has disappointed me of the events of last week was that I think all the parties have worked very closely with you through this process but last week that stopped and we just got an email saying there's going to be a statement this afternoon and there was no dialogue before that did the dialogue happened afterwards I hope that you have reflected on that and that kind of thing won't happen again because we want to do this collectively as cooperatively as possible when goodwill is there my plea would be to you not to burn that goodwill and I accept that and I apologise if that action clearly was one that wasn't as helpful as it should have been in the circumstance I have asked for example I hope it would be possible to have a conversation with yourself and your party leader today who spoke about this issue yesterday I think it would be helpful to talk to the Liberal Democrats today in advance the JMCEN and my office is trying to arrange that as you will know I'm happy to have a conversation with the Conservatives today if they would like to have that conversation so that I can go to the JMCEN very clear about what the position across the Parliament is and I'll continue to make sure that that information is provided and I am listening to what you say and your party says In relation to the 24 areas given that only a few months ago it sat at 111 and 87 have gone we still have 10 months to go surely it's not beyond the width of men and women to take 10 months or whatever it is to come to agreements on those 24 I don't think to be honest I agree difficultly on that the issue is the approval of the frameworks and the consent of the Parliament gives to what the outcomes are of those there's been intensive work on those 24 I don't think it's absolutely right to say they disappeared, the other ones what's happened is they've moved they're in categories which do not require that intensive work because there are either existing arrangements between the governments and the parliaments to deal with it the 24 will require actions of some sort the question is what sort not all will require legislation by any matter of means there are two outstanding issues which the UK Government says are reserved matters and the Scottish Government says they aren't and that's a decision we've got to come to the awkwardness in that is the continued view of the UK Government that there might be others as yet unknown which could be introduced and frameworks established without consent if we have a consent process that's not a worry because if there are other issues which occur suddenly and there may just suddenly occur and be noticed then they can be dealt with under a consent process if however the existing the process presently an offer was there then nothing could be done about them so we are ready for that but I think we can establish effective frameworks in the areas in which we have had given consent I don't see a difficulty doing that so I think the general feeling I think out there in the real world is that people just want politicians to get on with and you have said that you don't think there are many problems in terms of working with other parties to come to a sensible workable conclusion I have to then ask does the rhetoric stocking up this as a big constitutional conflict help when the reality seems to be behind the scenes that actually things are probably a lot more calm and sensible than they are being presented by some I know that it would be regardless unusual for me to say that I have avoided rhetoric but I really have avoided rhetoric Minister I may not be on fire at you In that case I shall act as a human shield for the rest of the Government and make it absolutely clear that I do think that there has been an attempt to present not just a problem but also the solutions and that's what I'm continuing to do I may differ on that Okay everyone fine, Tom Thank you for being here and good morning Minister Minister you spoke to the drafting of the UK Government's amendment being done in such a way that it would make it difficult to secure support I think it also makes it rather difficult to comprehend as well Now you have and other members of the Government have previously characterised the disagreement with the UK Government that's coming down to essentially whether consent or consult The use of the word consent in those amendments I find quite alarming because consent suggests a power to refuse consent for that to be acknowledged and acted upon This amendment presented by the UK Government seems to express a user term consent decision which seems to me is another way of saying express an opinion Now my understanding would be that this amendment as tabled actually represents a retrograde step because it falls short even of consultation The UK Government would be in a position to table statutory instruments and regardless of whether the Scottish Parliament expressed an opinion or not and regardless of what opinion was expressed by the Scottish Parliament that would have no substance or weight and there's no implications for the UK Government in terms of having to justify substantially beyond the written statement the reasons for doing so I just wonder if you could comment on what your understanding of a consent decision is and what the implications are potentially for the understanding of relationships between the two parliaments and the two Governments going forward as a result of this My understanding of the consent decision and we're talking about it is it's subsection 2 of the First Amendment in the name of Lord Cullinan on the Order of Paper for the House of Lords and it's section 4 of that and my understanding of it is the first line it says for the purposes of subsection 3 a consent decision is a decision to agree a motion consenting to the layer of the draft I think that that layer of the draft I think that's fine but the next two parts say that a consent decision is also a decision not to agree a motion consenting to the draft or see a decision to agree a motion refusing to consent to the laying of the draft so I think that this is at the very least badly drafted I think it is a drafting which a minister seeing might have said look I don't think that's going to help to conclude this matter let's try and understand it but what it implies is that there is no role for the Scottish Parliament in saying even unanimously this is not on no matter what you do you're still in the position that you're deemed to have given consent that is foolish and shouldn't be there and that's not what anybody could sign up to so let's accentuate the positive the positive is we can amend and the amendments that are in the name of Lord Hope and Lord Mackay can amend these amendments to make this something to which we can agree it can't be agreed to it's just on that particular point following on from the new family's comments in terms of some of the dialogue might not actually be fully reaching the population it might just seem to be a discussion or an argument between politicians in terms of this particular amendment and certainly the sub sections 4B and 4C all the amendments can you put that into some clearer language in terms of what in the future if this were to go through what the implications would be for Scotland in terms of any of the examples from the list of 24 as to how it would affect Scotland I mean I could take all of the lists 24 but I think that would take too much of your time convener but let's start just with on agricultural support farming support if there was a framework established on agricultural support and if that framework was without consent then you could have a framework for example decided on agricultural support that did not include less favoured area status even if we voted as a parliament unanimously to say and I think we probably would you know to be honest because anybody who knows Scottish agriculture knows that LFA payments are absolutely essential Scottish agriculture even if we did that we'd be in a position where they say it doesn't really matter what that view is we're not going to agree to that we're going to do something different now there has to be consent the principle of subsidiarity under PINs devolution and that means decisions are best made closest to where the place that is affected by them and that is what's at risk and that the quality of life in Scotland is all being applied now I think we probably need to look right through that list and go from agricultural support to number one to the services directed 24 and in each of them you can say without having consent there are things that could happen here and may happen there that are not desirable they may well be things to which UK government for the best of reasons believes that you need a different system but the basis of devolution is right that's not how we work and that's not how we've worked for the last 19 years and the system we have is a system that people of Scotland wanted and I think they want to keep it OK thanks for that we'll move into the meat of what the committee deals with which is the exercise of powers we've got three options that you've put forward at the moment and that could all change but let's deal with things as they are in terms of the continuity bill what kind of scenario planning is there in terms of whether the continuity bill is struck down and what's the implications if it is well that depends upon the decisions that are taken over the next few days the next few weeks in terms of what takes place it depends on what the legislative consent motion is but we remain very confident that the continuity bill is perfectly competent of course the process would be rather than striking down the question would be are there things in the continuity bill that should not be there the judgment of the Supreme Court might be that, we think it won't be we are very confident it won't be and therefore we would have to examine it at the time but the present moment we believe that the continuity bill is right and the question here is how much of it is it all to be used is it to be used partially is it used to be not at all that's the issue so the committee's clear are you scenario planning I'm not preparing for failure in the Supreme Court but we will meet every set of circumstances as it arises but we're not preparing for failure in the Supreme Court three options so of those options which mix of powers in each of those three options will best secure an accurate and functioning statute book by 29 March 2019 in your view I think all of them can achieve that I think that the question is exactly the right question this breaks down into three things that need to be achieved the first of which is continuity that is to make sure that the laws work the second of which is to make sure that the powers exist for that to happen and the third of which is to set up the frameworks and the functions that need to exist post Brexit to allow these things to happen so the question on all of these is how do they conform to them and the answer is all of them do to a greater or lesser extent in that way the question is what would work most effectively and most efficiently my own view is that we can work any of them we've always said that the most desirable outcome of this is to have a single statute which allows the two governments to work effectively together and that's less work it would rather be there's a massive amount of work no matter what so if we could achieve that that would be the best outcome if that can't be achieved that would be a mix of possibilities for example to the continuity bill plus clause 7 would allow the first objective that is to make sure that the powers come back to allow co-operation between ministers because it would empower ministers UK ministers to act in devolve areas and we could work together on those things so that's workable the withdrawal bill minus clause 11 would be workable the first two objectives would be met but the third one we would deal with ourselves and the continuity bill is workable it was backed by this Parliament 95 votes to 32 so the Parliament believes it's a workable solution and it's a solution that we can bring in so the choice would have to be made but there's no doubt that the first preference has been all along to get an agreement that allows the EU withdrawal world to operate so the first preference is actually to have none of the three options it is the option as I described complete consent and that would be the first option and thereafter there are choices but we've tried to do the proper thing by being prepared in any set of circumstances and that's what these do so that option of giving consent to the UK bill could be before the Parliament on I think you said the 15th yes it could be it could be if there is an agreement and the amendments tomorrow go through or another form of agreement yes it could be Mr Finlay I think you've got another question any indication as to the Government's view on the amendments that have come forward the UK government's view no I've no view on that none as yet there's a GMC tomorrow which is when the House of Lords is meeting so it could be we'll hear that and it would be helpful to know that one of the concerns for businesses and for many others is the whole issue of legal certainty I can't help but think just instinctively that the sort of mongrel option is not fulfilling people with huge confidence in certainty do you think is that a fair comment or an unfair comment? Whatever is going to happen this is difficult and as I indicated it's not of our making I would like to provide as much certainty as possible I think any of these are some of the functions that need to be done the three functions I've declared it is perhaps simpler to understand the two extremes of it one is the continuity bill where we just take the whole responsibility and we do it and we've got legislation that allows us to do it or we agree to the UK bill providing we settle the difficulty that exists those are probably the clearest options but the other options are workable I mean I wouldn't come to the Parliament with a lesser consent now around a menace I thought could produce a functioning result but the clarity of those two this has dragged on a long time but of course the timetable for the EU withdrawal bill again has not been of our making that is entirely in the hands of Westminster the EU withdrawal bill was being discussed at the JMC as far back as well it was announced at the Tory party conference in September 2016 it was being discussed at the JMC I think the first JMC in November 2016 would have mentioned it it was certainly discussed at the second one in December because I remember a conversation in the margins of the meeting with Ben Gammar about it who was then responsible for it and it's been on the go since then so that uncertainty is a product of that time scale and in terms of the way in which the Parliament operates we want to ensure that there's scrutiny of any proposals and proposal changes on which of the options do you think provides with the maximum scrutiny for any change that will happen all of them because we would intend because the issue of scrutiny is also an issue of standing orders of this Parliament and because I think you have already seen draft proposals in terms of scrutiny protocols yes we would intend to apply those enhanced protocols no matter what's here because I don't think the decision on how this Parliament scrutinises in the end the detail of that is a matter for Westminster legislation it's a matter for this Parliament to decide and therefore enhanced scrutiny is a commitment we made as a process of the continuity bill went through and we've been a stick to it and then as a following for that obviously the Parliament values engagement with stakeholder outside bodies etc is there a similar commitment on ensuring that we continue when there are changes to regulations of whatever then that commitment to scrutiny will apply to whatever the option is because that was built into the process that passed through the continuity bill and that is the process which we wish to see applied and that was discussed at stage 2 I can't remember anything that was discussed in the 11 hours of stage 2 it was certainly discussed at stage 2 and is built into the process thereafter and to the role of this committee in that process which is actually central to the process okay minister the supplementary LCM talks about the practical difficulties which will arise if reliance is placed solely on the powers of the continuity bill can you provide some further information they were set out quite clearly in paragraphs 19 and 20 of the policy memorandum to the continuity bill and I'm quite sure that is available we pointed out that the complexity is added to when we're not able to rely upon the joint activity between the two sets of ministers and the two governments it would require a large number of technical instruments to be laid and scrutinised here whilst the same provision is being made in the UK Parliament and clearly just for reasons of efficiency that would be better done jointly we'd like to co-ordinate those that complexity would flow from actually the inability of the UK Government to come to an agreement on this matter and that would be regrettable but we could do it there is a I think I said on a previous occasion at this committee there isn't an option on this this has to be done if there is a transition period that's likely at the moment then the period of time in which there should be done is not fortunately between now and the end of March next year but between now and the end of December 2020 so that's a big job our estimate as I think I've also said at this committee before is 300 to 350 but that's only an estimate which is about the whole annual crop of statutory instruments so you would take years worth of statutory instruments and have to do that but this summer I would have thought I'm just looking for officials probably from about this summer through until the end of 2020 so that's a big job that's two years to do so so an increase of 50% but it can be done it will have to be done also in the paragraph 17 of annex D to the supplementary LCM states that where both Governments have corresponding powers to make fixes in devolved areas and the ability of Scottish ministers to make subsequent, different provision than that made by UK ministers will protect devolved interests what will the impact of subsequent changes to legislation be for example in relation to certainty of retained EU law I think I'm probably going to ask a look to address that one I think the important thing about that option is that if the two Governments retained the ability to do something different this ought to in most circumstances prevent that having to happen the fact of corresponding and equal powers existing would ensure that each Government respected the rules it would in fact ensure that the situation where we were seeking to reverse a change that the UK Government made in a devolved area never came about I've spoken with the committee about section 57 of the Scotland Act before principally in terms of how it provides for scrutiny of these instruments but far the more significant part of that is the bit between the Scottish and UK Governments the way that section 57 which is an existing example of corresponding and equal powers works is that very often it is in fact the Scottish Government going to the UK Government with a proposal suggesting that things would be better done and because we could always choose to do something differently later if we wanted to section 57 regulations are invariably the product of agreement between the Governments and that's the situation that we envisage in paragraph 17 of the annex that supplementary consent memorandum Just to add to that one of the protocols the draft protocols that you've seen is intended to govern that position and give the Parliament a role in scrutinising proposals from the Scottish Government to consent to UK-wide orders and those circumstances so that's one of the other limbs of ensuring the role of the Parliament in the position we envisage where we might be looking for a UK-wide order that's important to look at the detail of that protocol Once again it takes us back to that the knob of this issue in terms of consent of this Parliament and this Parliament providing that consent although it's not written into the statute you would have the opportunity to scrutinise the Scottish ministers proposals to consent effectively to UK-wide orders again that's not a statutory requirement but because of the mechanisms that looks described as alternatives we have confidence that there would always be a process of agreement under the powers as they've been equalised under the proposed amendments to the bill Thank you for that The final question is in light of the differences in the UK Government and Scottish Government's views as to the limits of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government's devolved competence how do you envisage agreement will be reached on which areas the Scottish ministers may legislate for under the bills in a way that avoids potential challenges to instruments laid by the Scottish ministers The matter will be resolved should it be required to be resolved in the Supreme Court that process is now underway and what I can do is say that that will be vigorously pursued by the Lord Advocate we would much rather see all these circumstances pursued by co-operation and agreement that's been our wish from the beginning it continues to be our wish but the legal certainty will come as a result of the Supreme Court Thank you Bill Bowman The supplementary LCM mentions changes made to the UK bill which address concerns about the breadth of powers in the bill Can you say a bit more about these changes and how they address those concerns? The UK Government has introduced amendments which make some changes As we anticipated that by the case they've removed clause 8 the power to implement international obligations to set up new public authorities they're preventing the powers being used to introduce new fees they're preventing the withdrawal agreement power from being used to amend the withdrawal bill itself and they're introducing the need for explanatory statements some of those things of course the continuity bill for example makes explanatory statements we were engaged with them we do go a bit further we could talk about that perhaps if you like we think those amendments go some way to addressing the concerns that existed in the continuity bill and some of it isn't because the continuity bill reflected views about difficulties with the withdrawal bill so there's been welcome change I mean nobody would deny that One of the committee's recommendations in its report on the LCM from last November was that further consideration be given to basing the powers in the bill on a test of necessity rather than of appropriateness We understand that a non-government amendment which makes such a change for the exercise of UK ministers powers in the bill has been made at the report stage in the House of Lords Do you plan to recommend an equivalent change to Scottish ministers powers under the UK bill? We have that in the continuity bill of course and we accepted that in the continuity bill and indeed we assisted on amendments throughout the bill to put that into place The position would be one of equity whatever the powers are granted to the UK ministers and however they are restrained the equivalent powers should apply to Scottish ministers We thought that we'd got this into a better position in the continuity bill so we'd welcome the amendment I think it's from Lord Lisvein and were that amendment to succeed we don't know what the UK Government position would be on it were that amendment to succeed then quite clearly we want to see that the change is made Do you recommend an equivalent change? Yes, because we agreed to put it into the continuity bill so we think it's a good change We might just have forgotten We'd like to be consistent if we can be To be fair to you Mr Bowman you haven't been here for all the sessions and it's certainly been covered by this committee so we recommended a change to the parliamentary procedure for the power in schedule 4 to create or increase fees and charges in connection with functions which public bodies in the UK take on exit day The recommendation was that the power be subject to the affirmative procedure not just for new fees but also for significant increases to existing fees Do you know of any pending amendments to the UK bill to make that change? I think that the UK Government are going to promote an amendment in that way That's good The supplementary LCM mentions changes proposed to the UK bill to extend the requirements for explanatory statements to Scottish ministers for regulations laid in the Scottish Parliament. Can you outline what the new requirements will be? Yes, we're very supportive of explanatory statements and we're glad that this has moved I'll say in a moment that the continuity bill has actually still got some additional elements in it which we are going to apply but they include when exercising a schedule 2 a statement of the good reasons for the use of the power which I think is very welcome and that the use is a reasonable course of action a statement of the amendments that are being made to the Equality Act and that the ministers are due to regard to them a statement explaining the instrument the relevant law before exit day the instrument's effect on retained EU law the purpose of the instrument if they're exercising the powers in schedule 2 to create a criminal offence a statement of the good reasons for creating a criminal offence and of the sentence attached we're making an instrument under the urgent procedure a statement of the reasons for the declaration of urgency and where it's amending regulations under section 2 of the European Communities Act a statement of the good reasons for the modification that it is a reasonable course of action explaining the instrument the relevant law before exit day the instrument's effect now we committed to providing some further information statements under the continuity bill for example a statement about whether the regulations affected employment or health and safety matters those are amendments that came from Labour members during the bill and we're going to be held to that even if the continuity bill is not in effect we think that the additional information is useful to have so that would be within these statements okay thank you Tom Arthur thank you convener I just wish to pick up minister from a tail end of Neil Findlay's line of questioning earlier what's the subject of the protocols that was touched upon I just wish one if you could state for the record whether you think these protocols are workable, sufficient and whether or not the Government is content with them yes I mean there are a product of discussion with the Parliament I mean yeah I'm very very keen to stress that these are not Scottish Government protocols these are protocols that the Parliament would take on and we suggested this some considerable time ago I remember last autumn I think I suggested at a committee meeting that we should take this issue forward and I'm glad it has gone forward and I'm grateful to the Parliament and to this committee for being involved in it they give the necessary flexibility to make procedural changes they create a higher level of scrutiny that's otherwise would be in the bill and they also this has been quite an important issue they give an effective steer about what matters are considered more important than others I mean this is going to be a matter of prioritisation of activity so they don't supplant the work of this committee they enhance the work of this committee and they help this committee I hope to make decisions about what the most important issues are when there will be a flood of secondary legislation coming down the road so I think this is good joint working and because it's taken some time so I hope that these are going to be welcomed finally when out of draft form by this committee by the Parliament and certainly will be welcomed by the Government and they mean that there is more effective scrutiny and they mean that the Parliament has ownership of the way in which that takes place and with regard to all eventualities would you be in favour of a SIFP process applying to SSIs that are laid by the UK Government if so how do you think that would be achieved it's an interesting view the UK Government should not be legislating on how this Parliament scrutinises issues I would want to see anything that has effect in Scotland being effectively scrutinised now you know the sifting process is the process which the continuity build came to an agreement about it after a great deal of discussion Ross Greer's amendment worked by this committee came to a conclusion about how it should operate my view is that it should operate on all the material that will have effect in Scotland for which this Parliament is responsible I cannot however take any responsibility for what the UK Parliament chooses to do with issues that are relevant to it but I think in general what we have put in place in the continuity build is a effective and better system that works out well for us thank you okay so we've just got 10 months to go before exit day it's a very short time are we going to be able to deliver the programme of secondary legislation in that time frame I think that I'm going to use the word we we all will have to do that you know that this committee has an enormous role and I don't apologise but I do accept that this is not going to be a big pressure upon you but we are all going to have to do that because we have to give as Mr Finlay has indicated the legal certainty to Scotland to every part of Scotland, to every community to every interest group, to every business that this can be done and therefore we have to do it okay so any final questions from members Mr Finlay? just on that, just a very practical thing is there be additional recruitment within Government for this within the Parliament for this? I can't speak for the Parliament I can't speak for the Parliament but for the Government there has been an increase in the number of people who are working with us each area of Government is looking at this on its own too there is a resource available of course from the UK Government which is allocated resource for additional Brexit work and it's for Mr Mackay to account for that that money will have to be drawn down there will have to be additional resource in place and that's what we're trying to do Can you quantify that in terms of both finance and bodies? Well I can't quantify it in terms of either at the present moment but the UK Government has allocated if I'm correct £3 billion and the discussion I think is under way about what proportion of that can come to Scotland and how it will come to Scotland I think that Mr Mackay will be the right person to respond to that and I will ask him to respond to the committee in terms of the resource that's available so that you are aware of that That would be useful Any members have any further questions? No Okay minister Can I just thank you and your officials for your time We've got a further meeting of this committee on Thursday and we'll have Chloe Smith and David Mundell in front of us so thank you again and we'll perhaps see you at some future stage That may be the case I'll also spend the meeting for a couple of minutes	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcvgwNv7fxE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCkJEpR7JmS36tajD34Gp4VA	8 Childhood Lessons You Should Unlearn	What are some childhood lessons that you wish you could unlearn? When we are a child, our impressionable young minds are like sponges. We take in what our caregivers teach us. Teach us to bottle up our emotions, we do that. Teach us to be punished for our mistakes, we become fearful of mistakes. Teach us that grades matter more than our mental health, we end up valuing grades. What were some toxic childhood memories that you wish you could forget? Do you relate to these?

When we're a child, our impressionable young minds are like sponges. Have you ever had a kid around you repeat what you said casually, especially curse words you let slip accidentally? Disability to learn goes deeper than simply repeating curses though, and whether or not we realize it, these lessons shape the entire rest of our lives. Here are eight childhood lessons you should unlearn. 1. Children shouldn't show their emotions. As a child, have your parents ever told you, just calm down when you're throwing a tantrum? Saying things like just calm down during tantrums might teach you that your emotions are wrong. If that's the case, you may bottle up your emotions because you lack the skill to handle emotions healthily. A good way to start changing that is to talk about the emotions so you don't act them out in an unhealthy way. 2. Intelligence is measured by grades alone. Do your parents care about your grades more than anything else? Einstein once said, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it's stupid. Some kids are really good at sports, or at art, or music. Others have high emotional intelligence. If that's the case, emphasizing grades alone might damage their self-esteem. 3. They can get whatever they want. In life, we can't always get what we want. That's something everyone needs to learn at some point. And the younger we are when we learn that lesson, the better. Did your parents simply give you whatever you asked for all the time when you were a child? If so, it might be tough for you to accept failure or rejection as an adult. Or, you should always try to fit in with other people. Did your parents worry when you were struggling to fit in? Kids are often under a great deal of pressure to fit in or try to be popular. Your pressure is a common foe, as young people try to figure out their identities. And it seems like fitting in with everyone else is the only way to survive. But, the reality is not everyone's gonna like you. That's life, and that's okay. Being unique is a good thing because it's what makes you special, and that's important in society. 5. Failure is the worst possible outcome. How do you deal with failure? Did your parents only look for A grades in your report? Not doing something well enough isn't the worst possible outcome. Childhood is a time of growth and learning, and you should be free to explore things you might enjoy or be good at. 6. Taking a break is unacceptable. Did your parents keep your schedule jam-packed with so many activities and extracurriculars that you never had time to slow down? If they teach you that slowing down is bad, you'll never learn to relax. After all, relaxation is a healthy part of life. 7. You should be punished for making small mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. We spill things, we forget to do something, and so on. It happens. Most adults face no repercussions for spilling something or forgetting something, though. So why punish a kid for similar acts? If you spill something or neglect to do something intentionally, that's a different story. But taking away privileges for making small mistakes that were totally accidental will only teach you to be afraid of making mistakes. 8. It's okay to judge people. Are you so used to talking about other people? Are you generally intolerant of other people? If so, what do you think contributed to your behavior? Do your parents gossip or pass judgment about other people in your presence? If so, you may have unconsciously picked up on such behaviors in your childhood. In the end, what you learn in your childhood will serve you as the basis for your values and beliefs. Do you agree with the points mentioned? Have you been the recipient of such lessons or seen them occur around you? If so, let us know in the comments below. Also, share this video with those you think might benefit from it.

UCQdZWRxu7uCjkCay0OCnvWw	ITU INTERVIEW @ WCIT - 12: Dr. Hamadoun I. Touré, Secretary-General, ITU	Interview with Dr. Hamadoun I. Touré, Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union, at WCIT 2012 being held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 3-14 December 2012. The World Conference on International Telecommunications is reviewing the current International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs), which serve as the binding global treaty designed to facilitate international interconnection and interoperability of information and communication services, as well as ensuring their efficiency and widespread public usefulness and availability. The views expressed in ITU INTERVIEWS are those of the interviewees and do not necessarily represent those of the ITU. For journalists, broadcast quality footage of WCIT-12 is available for viewing and download at http://www.itunewsroom.org	[ "WCIT-12", "WCIT", "ITU", "UN", "Dr. Hamadoun I. Touré" ]	2012-12-10T10:22:15	2024-02-05T16:20:48	373	pC92bMowwGk	I'm in the studio at the Dubai World Trade Center with Dr. Hamadun Thure, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union, as we head into week two of the WICAT 12 conference. Hello Dr. Thure. Hello. Good afternoon. We're at the halfway point of WICAT 12. Can you tell us how the event is going and what are your feelings about the possible outcomes? Well, Sarah, the halfway mark in a major conference like this is always important. It is a critical point. People want to know how much progress has been made. And there is also a tendency to prejudge the outcomes. But we all know that the final days are the most important ones and that very often it is in the very last hours of important negotiations that the most significant breakthroughs are made. So, I'm expecting to see more progress in the second week than we have had in the first, even though we have had some clear success already. For example, in the provision that on the ITRs to prioritize fiber optic cable access to developing countries and small island developing states, I'm also encouraged by the discussions which have been ongoing through this weekend concerning accessibility, remembering that there are at least 650 million people worldwide suffering from some sort of disability today. And that each and every one of them, each and every one of them has just as much right as you and I to have access to the full benefits of communications. I think that's a very important point to remember. But what about some of the more contentious issues which are still out there on the table? Well, one of the very important things about ITU's work is that we are open to discuss any issue which member states want to bring to the table. And the great majority of those issues members are able to come to an agreement through Consensus in the true spirit of ITU, although this can take some time, especially where opening positions are very divergent. And we have seen this here in Dubai. But I'm confident that we will find Consensus, not least because we always have done that in the past. This is in the ITU and this is the ITU way. And it's worth pointing out that we have found Consensus in the past on issues which, in many ways, have been more contentious than those we are addressing today. Sometimes, of course, the Consensus is to drop certain proposals altogether, or to modify hardline positions. But that is the nature of Consensus. But let's not forget that we are here together for the common good. And we all have the same essential goal, which is to ensure that we bring the benefits of communications to the 700 million people or so who still don't have mobile phone network coverage. And even more importantly, the 4.5 billion people who are not yet online. Thank you, Secretary-General. Finally, could I ask how would you respond to concerns that have been raised that, as a member state conference, Wicked 12 does not reflect the 21st century need for a more multi-stakeholder engagement? Yeah, that is a very good question. I'm glad you brought it up. In fact, ITU is a very special organization as a UN agency, having both public and private sector members, with 193 member states, of course, but also over 700 other members ranging from industry players to academia, to civil society organizations, such as Antony Society. And we are very pleased that the documents and proceedings of this particular meeting have been made widely available as possible. This is a treaty-making conference with live webcasts and of the main sessions and archives, transcripts available to the public, all including the daily major briefings. So we have also opened up access to the conference documents. And before the event, we held a public online consultation. We shouldn't forget also that member states are free to choose members of their delegations and that a good number have taken this opportunity to include not just industry and legal and technical experts in their delegations, but also civil society organizations. I myself have been making a concerted effort to personally engage with all stakeholder groups. It is very important to us that all voices are heard. And we are pleased to be able to say that this has been the most transparent, accessible and multi-stakeholder treaty-making conference to date. This is not to say that in future we could not do better. And indeed, I would encourage our membership to reach out to all stakeholders at future ITU events such as the Plenipotentiary Conferences, where I hope to see even wider multi-stakeholder representation in the halls. Dr Turi, thank you very much indeed for taking some time out of your schedule to join us here this afternoon and very best of luck with the week ahead. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC92bMowwGk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCExDf4hkbSU-pmJcyT_sDtg	2021-03-07 Talk at Women in Power Conference		[ "PDIS" ]	2021-03-22T08:34:51	2024-04-18T18:24:02	3,191	pcs81i6C78k	incredibly fortunate. We want to welcome you all to this event. Audrey Tang is here. Audrey Tang is Taiwan's digital minister in charge of social innovation. Audrey is known for revitalizing the computer languages Pearl, which we all use in Haskell, as well as building the online spreadsheet system EtherCalc in collaboration with Dan Bricklin. In the public sector, Audrey served on Taiwan's National Development Council's Open Data Committee and the 12-year Basic Education Curriculum Committee and led the country's first e-rulemaking project. In the private sector, Audrey worked as a consultant with Apple on computational linguistics with Oxford University Press on crowd lexicography and with social text on social interaction design. In the social sector, Audrey actively contributes to GovZero, that's G0V, a vibrant community focusing on creating tools for the civil society with the call to fork the government. I am so delighted and honored to be here tonight with Audrey Tang. Hello, good local time everyone. Good local time from the future. Just a few hours in the future, I guess. So how shall we proceed? I thought that we will begin immediately into the Q&A after the introduction. That's what I've heard from my colleagues, if that's okay with you. That's fine with me. We're here. We're just delighted to have you. I wasn't sure whether or not you had a few words that you wanted to start off with. I mean you have quite a resume or if you just wanted to give us a big shout out about can you connect the first and the last? That is, on the one hand, thinking about Pearl and then thinking about the mechanics of having worked on Pearl, how does that contribute to your ability to do work on GovZero? Do you think in the same way but in a different context or is it just totally a different set of skills? I would say it's the same skill. The motto of Pearl is, and I quote, there's more than one way to do it, unquote, and that means a focus on plurality. Indeed, I learned from Larry Wall, the creator of Pearl, that he had a tweet that says, everybody's talking about a singularity is near. Why don't we focus on the plurality, which is here. And I think this is so excellent so that I turn it into literally my job description as if they dominated around five years ago. And my job description, I think, if you want a few words to begin with, I'll begin with my job description. And it goes like this. When we see the internet of science, let's make it the internet of beings. When we see virtual reality, let's make it a shared reality. When we see machine learning, let's make it collaborative learning. When we see user experience, let's make it about human experience. And whenever we hear that a singularity is near, let's always remember the plurality is here. So it's all about listening at scale to the plurality. It's about using humor over rumor in a way that's fast, fair, and fun, so that we can overcome, say, the pandemic in Taiwan with no lockdown and overcome the infodermic, again, with no takedown. So this is a fundamentally idea about the government trusting citizens rather than asking a citizen to trust the government. We must first trust the citizen, the plurality. Let me ask you a question. That's a fantastic introduction, especially when hearing heard by American ears in these times. So when you think about like trust, so here, the question isn't even whether or not the government trusts us, but whether or not we trust the government. Do you believe that the philosophy still works? I mean, in some ways, who goes first, right? Yeah, I think the Dao De Jing there's a saying from Lao Zi that says to give no trust is to get no trust. And so the fundamental point about trustworthiness is not about a blind trust like from one abstract organization to another abstract organization, but about this day to day feedback mechanism. For example, and I really only have one slide to show, and this is the very cute Shiba Inu, the name is Song Chai, literally the spoke stock of our Central Epidemic Month Sansa. So every day at 2pm during the height of the pandemic here, everyone tunes in to this conversation between the Minister Chen Shi Zhong and all the journalists who get to ask pretty much everything. And the thing about RCECC press conference is that it's all about asking the commander everything and anything and anything that we did wrong, that we didn't get right. And so one is guaranteed a 24 hour correction, a very fast iteration cycle, and always that's for example, when a young boy back in April last year called the toll free number 1922, even though he's not a journalist. He said, you're rationing out mask, all I get is pink medical mask. All my boy classmates have navy blue ones. And I don't want to wear pink to school. The very next day on 2pm, the commander and all the medical officer regardless gender war pink medical mask. It's a act of gender mainstream for sure. But Minister Chen even said publicly that pink Panther was his childhood hero. So the boy became the most hip boy in the class for only he had a collar that the hero and the hero's hero wear, I guess, for some definition of wear. And so this is trustworthy. This is the real time feedback mechanism. That's just in the last year alone, there's more than 2 million calls to 192 to all answered on an individual basis that makes sure that all the epidemiology experts can talk in the way that shows the trust to the citizens to make use of those signs well and also explain it in a language that transcends disciplines and age groups, for example, our physical distancing rules says that when you're indoor, keep 3 shiwainu's away and outdoor keep 2 of them away. There's many gems like that. Why wear a mask is there to protect you against your own unwashed hand. So you wouldn't do what a dog is doing here. Again, this appeals to rational self interest in a way of communication that is humble. That is definitely not top down or lockdown or shut down. Well, we are suddenly opening up the floor to questions. I mean, otherwise I can just keep going on. This is a fascinating conversation, especially talking about the pandemic because the contrast to what we're experiencing here is so radically different. But I also want to bring it into the role of the of the platforms that we have here. So like how do you institute that? How do you institute that philosophy into like social media or into a platform or is it solely to be applied on the relationship between the government and the people? Yeah, I think the current generation of social media, which I sometimes refer to as anti-social media, it doesn't quite do listening as skill that well. I mean, it does broadcasting or speaking as skill so that everybody can speak, but not so much listening across differences. On the other hand, we take the motto, don't hate the media, be the media very seriously. So we built our own pro-social media out of civic technologies, which in Taiwan is essentially the same as government technologies because we work very closely with the free software slash open source communities. And so, for example, one example is that we use this Polis system originally innovated in Seattle, but now it's open source as part of our digital public infrastructure. So at Polis.gov.tw, everyone can resonate or not with any public statements that people make, for example, on the Uber case, which is the inaugural case that we use the Polis technology. And so this is very visual. So I guess I'll have to show a slide anyway. So this is the UberX conversation. And what you see here in the blue circle represents the person using the system. And the clusters are my friends and families who are all over the place that feels differently about the UberX case. Now the thing is that instead of jumping from facts to ideas, Polis is designed to listen to people's feelings. And the interface design is in such a way that each citizen's feelings, like I feel that passenger insurance, they're important. People would disagree or agree with it. And as they do, they move toward me or farther away from me, but there is no reply button. Without a reply button, there's no room for troll to grow. And people take pride in proposing some nuanced ideas that brings other people together, rather than just focusing on the ideological problems. For example, is Uber even a sharing economy, is time sharing sharing? Is it a gig economy? Is it platform economy, which is of course, very nice academically speaking, but it doesn't really get people's feeling together. So people agree to disagree on the more pro social side of social media. They respect each other's ideological differences, but doesn't spend calorie on it. And we get a rough consensus, meaning that people agree with each other's feelings most of the time, actually on registration, not under cutting existing meters on insurance and things like that. And that's why we legalize Uber just in a few months after this consultation. And Uber is now a local taxi in Taiwan, but it elevates the co-ops and existing taxi companies and fleets as well, so that everybody wins or at least doesn't lose in a setting of rough consensus. Now, so we say the binding power, it's only on this sort of digital public infrastructure. We do not use, say Facebook or other parts of the digital realm that are more like frankly speaking, nightlife district nightclubs, selling you alcoholic addictive drinks, private bouncers, and all things like that. We don't use that as town halls or public parks or public libraries. We use public digital infrastructure as digital infrastructure. So you showed me that incredible graph of how sort of a crowd agreeing in general. That's right. Yes. There's this part of me that says, but what is that person at the end, the one guy that's hanging out over there? But these are the statements. It's not people. And oh, those are the statements? I'm sorry. These are the statements. So these are the more ideological statements that each one divides the people into halves, essentially. And if you look at the more anti-social corner of social media, that's what everybody focus on. That's what dreams people calories. But what we are doing is essentially letting people see a reflection of their own statements and sentiments. And they're the more nuanced one that brings people together, like literally bringing people together shows that there's actually much more in common. We share the same value, even though we start from different ideological positions. Academically, it's called overlapping consensus, but it's much more easy if we show it in a way with this need to visualization. So, so what about full expression? Like one of the things when I think of parole as a language is it's not just that it's many ways to represent something. It's also just like one can exhibit a style in parole and another person can have a totally different style. And to what extent, how much how much flexibility do can I get in the in the presentations technologies you're describing? Yeah, I think fundamentally, this is about who sets the agenda for public deliberation. And the design of our Polish platform, even though it's called Polish.gov.tw, it means that all the citizens, including the press who have used it to deliberate anything from the national ID card strategy to like random killing and whether, you know, corporate punishment need to be abolished and whether that will encourage random killing probably not and things like that. And so the agenda setting is done by the social sector, by the people. Our national participation platform joined the GOV.tw, which is like regulation.gov, I guess, because we publish our pre announcements of regulations on it. But very importantly, it connects a participatory budget interface so that people can comment and raise new ideas even after the regulation takes effect. And people can start new initiatives with 5,000 signatures. The ministry need to respond to it on a point by point basis. And so on the whole life cycle, if people have an idea, they can do a full expression on that particular idea and start a new policy conversation without getting any approval from the government. So this is not just GOV.TEC. This is what I refer to as what we call people public private partnership with the people side first with the social sector setting of the agenda. Okay, so this is fantastic. So I want to offer, I want to, I want to understand more and I'm going to do that by asking a kind of contrast point. So if in the United States, if we have a new regulation that we want to, that our government is thinking about, they open up what they call a public comment server and they invite people from the public to tell us what you think so people can respond. And they can say anything they want. And then the government takes all of these comments, digests them and provides a summary at the front end of whatever the regulation will try to answer their questions and so forth. But if I've got this right, the model that you described would look different. It would be instead of them saying this is the new regulation we're going to put it out, they may actually poll questions to understand better what kind of resentment they want to know that the public has. And then as a member of the public, I could then respond to the particular questions in a kind of multiple choice manner or binary manner. And they would get that feedback without the discourse. Is that a fair comparison? Yeah, it is. I think fundamentally this is a combination of two ideas that's previously not connected in policymaking. One is that of a citizen's petition or a citizen's initiative. The US also has we the people, which is the online platform for this sort of petitions, where you basically just collect signatures without much substantial deliberation. And the second part is a weekly survey. But unlike survey that's done by the government by a fixed set of questions, this is survey that is crowdsourced. Each person can share their sentiment for other people to respond to so that the system basically surfaces the rough consensus by a kind of friendly competition of who could raise the point that appeals to people with very different initial positions is a way to listen at scale without people having to do a top down design of survey. And these two independently speaking are done in many parts of local and national governments. The later part is done, for example, through open space technology through citizens assembly and things like that. While the first part is mostly just petitions and a list of names to hand to a counselor or to a legislator or to a minister. But we combine these two together. And the social norm that shapes it is much higher than each particular methodology. Indeed, the UberX conversation wasn't set or started by the government. In 2015, the ministries are still figuring things out. And it's the GovZero or G0V community that decides to talk about UberX, to talk about Airbnb and things like that. So how do you give equality to the voices? So in the example I gave before, if I create a bot, I can distort public opinion because my bot gives me more voice than the person who has to type it in by hand. Can I go on GovZero.dtw and distort the public opinion by using my bot on there? Right. If we look closely while the clusters, which is by K-Means clustering algorithm, measures the diversity and preserves the minority ideas or opinions, it doesn't, what it doesn't do is that it doesn't really care about the same cluster's population. So this 205 may be a small cluster, but it's not because it has 200 people in it. Actually, this one was just less than 200 people. It has a larger area because it measures more diversity. And so if people get a bot in like 500 fake accounts, which is difficult actually, they have to register 500 SIM cards, but suppose they do that, 500 SIM cards all voting the same way. Well, it may actually add a zero to the population count here, but this area doesn't grow a bit. What each statement must do is to convince people across the aisle. And we early hold as agenda the things that reaches this cross-group kind of supermajority. And this in-group coherence is just one factor out of it. And spamming that by voting doesn't really work. So what does it mean to be a voter on GovZero? Is it that I would register with a particular party and therefore the diversity is a measure of the party? Or is it my gender? Is it my race? Is it my income? Or do I register all of those things and the diversity measure is the sum of all these intersectionalities? Because this is a weekly survey. So people could and they did. For example, when we deliberate about the UberX case, the initial demographical questions are, it's actually a personal feeling. So I feel that even if a taxi passes by me, I still reach for my phone and call Uber. So that's one thing about personal feeling. And one is that I have a professional driver's license. I drive for a living. That's another thing. And another thing, yet another thing is that, for example, I take taxis as part of my daily work. I'm a commuter by taxi. That's another one. And as you said, there are also personal feelings about economic preferences, about the places that I live and I live in the metropolitan areas or not. And people who care about diversity on any particular aspect just add that to the weekly survey. But how do they do this? They just write, I aim a taxi driver, enter. And then other people start responding to it. I see. I see. So let me see if I got it right. I want to do one of these. And let's say we were going to do it at Harvard on Harvard's campus. So we would start with the overarching question. People would come to the platform. And that one overarching question, though, has multiple other statements that people are starting about themselves. And that's how we, I say, very clever. That's very clever. That's very clever. I'm so excited talking to you. I may not be giving enough room here for people who have questions. So if you do have a question, just raise your hand and I'll call on you. We do have a question here. And Alice, do you want to ask your question? Yes, thank you. This is a fascinating conversation. My question is regarding this year's theme of the conference, which is resilience and shared experiences. And I wonder if Minister Tang, you can share some of the advice on how we can build resilience from within ourselves and among one another, perhaps drawing inspirations from your personal experience or from the unprecedented experience we have lived through in the past year. Thank you. Thank you. That's an excellent question. Personally speaking, I think what I mean by trusting the citizens also means that we need to be aware, be humble of the shortcomings of our own designs and also to explain in a way that invites co-creation rather than defending any particular policy or personal decisions or things like that. The humility is the main thing that I learned working in the counter-pandemic task force. One very quick example. Last February, February 6th, we wrote out a very interesting policy called real name mass creation. And in which more than 6,000 pharmacies across Taiwan participated and anyone can take their universal health card is an IC card to the nearby pharmacy and get the allotted musks at a very, very cheap price. Now, people don't want to queue in vain. So around that time, a civic hacker, the names how we're all invented away so that you can see which pharmacy are out of mask and which pharmacies still have some so you can go to a place that still have some masks. It's entirely open API powered. So we published every 30 seconds the real time numbers of availability so that people who prefer chatbots and so on can access the same information in a way that's maximally inclusive, more than 100 different tools. But on the day that they launched, many pharmacies independently innovated and did what we call a take a number system. That is to say, instead of handing masks in return of swiping the IC card, they in the morning ask for the IC card and store it in the store and ask the customer to go back in the evening and take those number badges and in exchange to the mask and the IC card while they process the IC card during the lunch break. Now individually, these are to both the map and take a number system, very good innovation. But together, they just explode like Mentos and Coca-Cola. And that's because when you look at the map, you would see this pharmacy didn't sell anything until lunch. And then it sells everything. And so much so that a nearby pharmacy even put a large banner said, don't trust the app, exclamation mark. Now I didn't sleep well that night, but I did go through the public comments and the 1922 feedback from the frontline pharmacies. And there's some real gems in it. If I take away all the exclamation marks. And so the very next day, we apologize publicly, we didn't anticipate it. But because we're on a agile timeline schedule, we say we'll fix it next Thursday by implementing this very good suggestion of on the map, we will show two time slots, one for collecting the number and one for collecting the mask. And that ameliorate a little bit of the problem. And later on, the pharmacy's brainstorm and did something clever, which is just disappearing from the map. Soon as those numbers run out by entering, I received negative 5000 masks. So they kind of hacked the system. And again, we didn't say that they're hacking the system. We said we need to institutionalize that. So we put a button that if they click it, as soon as the numbers run out, they'll disappear from the map for the day. And so just by apologizing very swiftly, but always following it saying, we will implement your work around as a institutionalized response next Thursday. After three such iterations, there's not so much problem anymore. And to me, that's resilience. That is to trust your fellow citizen to come up with better design based on the one design that may not be perfect, but there's a crack in everything. And that's how the light gets in. I have to just ask you a quick question. How agile is it? How fast did you get that system set up? Three days. That's pretty awesome. Look, we have lots of hands up. Let's say, I think Valerie, you were up first. Thank you very much, Minister, for being with us today. We're very excited. So I am curious, being on technology from a government's perspective means a reallocation of power. Who will own the data? Who will be in charge of controlling certain platforms, new platforms? So what strategies have you used to persuade public leaders that might feel that they're losing some power due to these digital transformations? Thank you. The strategy is to have an outside game. The main talking point is that it beats getting the parliament occupied by occupiers, because that's what happened in 2014 when people perceive that there is no citizen control, democratic control over, at that time, it was a trade deal. Then people just occupied the parliament and took the matter to their own hands. Non-violently, I was there facilitating the live streaming. More than 200 different topics were deliberated by more than 20 NGOs, half a million people on the street, many more online. And we did get above consensus for the months, not one less, that gets then ratified by the head of the parliament. But everybody agreed that this is very time consuming. And if we can replicate some of those facilitated open space technology using digital means, then amortized, this is actually less effort and less risk, and also more trust as compared to get all the controversial policies that ends up getting the parliament occupied again. So the short answer is that there has always to be an outside game that threatens direct taking over by democratic and motivated people if the government doesn't respond in time. Thank you. Leone. Thank you. Actually, my first question was already answered, so I'm going to ask a new one. I am from Germany and what you're talking about what has happened in Taiwan and how Taiwan has responded to the pandemic feels very part of the reality that I'm experiencing. So one thing I was wondering, like all of these very advanced digital tools, what does it take that other countries also adopt this model, either tools or also just that model of engagement? Do you have any advice on that? Yes. I think there's two main requirements. One is, as I mentioned, a public infrastructure view on the digital. If the government essentially outsources public discourse to the likes of Facebook and Twitter, there's probably no room for this kind of civic tech to make into the gov tech. So a commitment to broadband as human rights, a commitment to digital competence, not just literacy in the basic education curriculum, all that is needed so that this digital public infrastructure includes people without excluding anyone. Indeed, anywhere in Taiwan, if you don't have 10 megabits per second, both ways for just 16 euros per month, it's my fault, like personally my fault. And so that's the one requirement. The other requirement equally important is for the career public service to be on board. If the career public service understand that this is the way to save them time to increase the mutual trust, and most importantly, to reduce the risk of zig-zacking or flip-flopping, that 49% of people feel that they have lost and suddenly increased by 2%, and the public service have to redo everything again. If they understand this social norm actually increases stability in them doing their public work, then they will support it. And once the career public service takes the initiative, the politicians for them, there really is nothing to lose. How do you get away from power struggles within the career community, within the career civil servant? Yeah, the power struggle is very real. It's always there. And my office, for example, maximizes diversity by inviting volunteer succumbents from any ministry, but each ministry can only send one succumbent at a time. So all the 12 public-facing ministries and councils have sent succumbents to my office, but they must work out loud. Although they still report to their minister, whatever they co-created become in the commons that all the different other ministries can learn from. And so this is deliberately designed in a way that's horizontal leadership. The vertical structures are always there, but within our office, the public digital innovation space, there's simply no room for that because each one offers a very fresh perspective. And it's all by volunteer basis. So to date, the Department of Defense never sent anyone to my office, and I'm fine with that. Jamie, you want to ask your question? Sure. Thank you so much for joining us. It's really an honor to have you with us. Having shared understanding of plural experience, I think, is so important to building societal trust. In your experience, what are some of the most effective ways that you've been able to build shared understanding? Yeah, I think really nothing is more important than taking all the sides. This is my personal practice. Of course, I went personally through two puberty. So in my mind, I don't have this binary category. Like half of the population is somehow more distant from me. To me, it's just a large homo-savians community. And if I find that there's a particular viewpoint that I cannot say it in a way that I personally feel it as important as genuine, I always think it's my problem. And I would then spend a few days with that community, learn a little bit of their culture and language and so on on an ethnographic, or just hanging out with people until I do. And so taking all the sides, the skill of rotation is, I think, as important as the skill of listening or translation. Sachi? Hi, Minister Tai. Thank you so much for joining us. My question is, we live in a world of increasingly complex problems and there's a real strain on multilateral solutions working. And I was wondering, are you a global pessimist or an optimist? I can probably guess which one you are. But why do you think that? And do you have any advice for anyone erring on the pessimistic side? Yeah, I'm a optimist. It's a strange condition, I know, on the most pressing global problems. And my optimism stemmed from the fact that my first political system was the internet governance system that I joined when I was just 14 years out, but across the emails and the mail lists and the working groups, nobody really cared or even know that I'm just 14 years old. And so I feel included into the community. It wouldn't be another few years until even I get my first vote in the traditional low bit rate representation or political system. And so the internet governance is always based on the idea that it's what we call the end to end principle. If you have a good innovation that solves your own problem, and it scales in the sense that some other people maybe in another corner in the world also find it useful, they can fork it, meaning that take it into a different direction. And nobody between the two of you can say whether this is a legit innovation or it's an innovation that should be banned. That was the original design spec of the internet. So because of my experience in internet governance, which is open multi-stake holderism, academically speaking, I do believe that the emerging issues that we are looking at at this moment is all caused by the closer collaboration across stakeholder groups that previously need to go through intermediaries, but now work very closely together anyway. And the externalities, the social environmental problem that stem out of this close collaboration can only be tackled if we also apply the same close collaboration across sector way to work on it. So open multi-stake holderism I think is something that feels very natural to me. And most of my work in introducing this to the more pessimistic corners of this society is just to encourage them to make concrete contributions. It could just be one typo fixed on Wikipedia. I just fixed a typo a week ago on Wikipedia on the Equality Act, the HR5, the article, or One Street in the Urban Street map. And once they start contributing, they will start to feel that it doesn't really take this representative logic, which many people feel that takes too long a time, but rather it could just be a representation of whatever they feel on the moment and the contribution is reflected in the here and now. Minister Tang, you've been very gracious and you allowed me to call you from your first name. You're incredibly humble and very approachable. How do you square the authority that you have with your personality and your openness? Well, today's conference is about women in power. The kind of power that I think I hold is communication power. That is to say we make networks and the power is entirely in the collective intelligence that's at the edges of those networks. So as someone that makes those networks connect to one another, the more authoritarian that I appear, the less bandwidth actually, the different networks that through me connect, enjoy, like I become the bottleneck, so to speak. But by designing myself out or design for resign, if that's a thing, I make maximize the kind of communication that all those different networks, the civic tech network, social entrepreneur, impact investors and so on, that can connect naturally through those open spaces, those mechanisms like the polar system, the joint system, sandboxes, presidential hackathons and so on. Those mechanisms go on, those space go on, but I don't hold authoritarian power by myself. So you don't have to call me the right honorable or something. Well, you hold that honor with us for sure. Maddie. Yeah, hey, thanks so much for this. I'm wondering, because we're students and we're all interested in politics and technology and just everything we've been talking about, what advice you have for aspiring public servants and students like us? To have fun, to optimize for fun. That's my slogan in my pro six days, and that still sounds true. For in my personal experience, the online, anti-social, social media, the divisiveness, the outrage, the hatred, the toxicity, all of that is predicated on this phenomenon that outrage spreads faster than rationality. But humor, fun, spreads faster than outrage. And it's a one-way street. If one is outraged about something, but then think of a clever way to tackle some of the problem so the structural problem doesn't happen again or happen with less likelihood. That's fun, that's co-creation. And once anyone feels this way, there's no going back to feel outrage or hatred or discrimination about the same topic anymore. But if some people start with a very divisive worldview, you can't really convince them based on rationality alone. And this time acute Shiba Inu, pink medical mask, rainbow mask, things like that, trending hashtags, these really helps. So optimize for fun is my main suggestion. That's fantastic advice. I have a question for you as the last question came up. So many of the people at the conference are young students. So when you were seven, did you know that you would be minister tank? Or like, what did, you know, many students feel that their lives are already predetermined? This is where I'm going to be when I'm this age and this age. But in reality, that doesn't usually happen. How about for you? Yeah, I'm a slash. So I'm digital minister at TW, slash, board member radical exchange, working with Vitalik buttering on Ethereum governance, slash, Digital Future Society Barcelona, slash, Council Democratic Foundation, that's a bunch of occupiers in Europe and things like that. So I think it's not about any particular post, but rather about the connection between those posts, again, referring to the network and communication power. The more the slash become a dash that connects things together, the more holistic ones worldview become and the more practical this idea of taking all the side become for me personally. So I would encourage even if you think you have a predetermined role or position to to fill, it doesn't really exclude you to stop you from seeking other slash or dash positions. And once those new positions start to grow, you form your own new constellation. That's very nice. Sachi. Oh, sorry. I think that was an old question. But that's okay. I can ask another question. You said before about creating a culture where government trusts citizens and citizens trust governments. But how do you actually get that? What were some of the biggest hurdles that you've overcome to get to this equilibrium, which seems ideal? Yeah. Well, government must trust its citizens. The other part is optional. That citizen doesn't need to trust the government. I think the government should earn the trust and a citizen should trust us as much or as little as they want. So maximally trusting the citizens, I think is easier if it doesn't take extra effort. For example, the mask availability open API, say if we publish not 30 seconds at a time, but 30 days at a time with this monthly statistics approval review process. That's actually what most governments do through a Freedom of Information access plan. But that basically says that the more publication one does, the more burden it places on the career public service. Contrast that with the open API, which simply says, for things unrelated to privacy, national secrets, confidentiality and trade secrets and so on, everything else. We just publish whatever we collect and with all the quality problems that I just highlighted a few questions back. And when people see that the quality is off, well, that's invitation to co-creation. And the public service only respond to the collective intelligence mandated new ideas that's provably better than the original ideas that we had. So we do not have to do this power struggle of keeping information to ourselves. What about the quality? What about accuracy and things like that? We simply say, okay, this is what the machines tell us. It may or may not be right, but it's at no extra burden to the career public service. So automate it. This makes trust much easier to give from the government to its citizens. Jamie. It's me again. You should that you optimize for fun. If you have to give yourself advice when you were younger, what advice would you give? Yeah. First of all, I would start traveling across the world sooner, I guess. I did this poor earthish thing of randomly couchsurfing and staying at people's homes until they get fed up with me and suggest someone else for me to crash. And I did that when I was 25 in 2005, 2006. But I actually could have done it sooner if I learned to trust random strangers on the internet earlier. So that would be my main suggestion to my younger self to trust random strangers on the internet. Maddie. Yeah. I don't know if this is a question you can answer, but I wanted to ask as a student of US politics living in the US, we talk a lot about these issues of trust in government and citizen participation right now. And are there any politicians or parties you've worked with in the US that you've enjoyed working with that you recommend we take a look at? Sure. I'm slash international advisor GovLab. So I already quite closely actually with the data collaborative with the crowd law and many initiatives of the GovLab in NYU. So that's actually something that I can directly answer. Alice. Yes, I have another question related to women in power. I wonder as a great leader like you, do you have any women role model in this space? Or do you draw any leadership philosophy wisdom from any anyone or anywhere? Yeah, I signed up to this particular post literally because I was quite touched by our president Tsai Ing-wen in her first inauguration speech where she said before we think of democracy as a showdown between two opposing values. But from now on democracy must become a conversation between a diverse set of values. I think that perfectly captures the new capacity that digital offers for us to listen not just speak at scale. And democracy in that view is a type of technology is a type of social innovation that everyone can contribute to. It's not just something that's fixed in stone. And so this democracy as a type of technology view, I think I draw very heavily from Dr. Tsai Ing-wen's leadership and also from the fact that there's more than 14 years now in Taiwan for gender mainstreaming. So the people public-private partnership work is literally grew out of the feminist movement that then grew into this intersectional LGBTQ friendly movements. And there's just too many names to name. But Annette Lu, our previous vice president, she was also very influential. I have a question. There's this incredible spirit about you that reminds me so much of what the internet was like many years ago, decades ago, before the United States became so commercial. And it seems like it's really shaped a lot of your thinking. Which came first, was it that the internet drew you because you were already like thinking, like of like minds? Or is it that it influenced you, that early way of thinking about the internet was a blank slate? What could this be? How could this work? And it was very open and very, let's all do, we're all in this together kind of thinking, which you certainly have really taken to a whole new level. Yeah, I think the early internet definitely happened first because it was born in 81 and the internet was before that. So there's a definite sequence of chronological events here. First the internet, right? And I was born around the year the personal computer was introduced to the world and Taiwan makes most of those personal computers anyway. So we do have a very strong ethics of just taking a new idea and then just make new forks to innovate, to reverse engineer what logic was there in the designing of larger mainstream computers and things like that, but do it in a way that is democratized. And I don't mean democratization in the sense of becoming more accessible. I mean democratization in the original sense in that citizen control, the agenda of the development of the type of technology. So I think Taiwan's own democratization, the lifting of the martial law, as well as the early personal computer and internet definitely took place first. And I'm immersed in those communities and cultures so that it feels like native to me. Yeah, I definitely, I can definitely see that and feel that and in that way it's a real pleasure. So back to COVID, so contact tracing, did you play a role in contact tracing? And if so, what does that look like in Taiwan? Yeah, so I'm mostly a poetician, so I mostly just write poems and recite them. And so the day-to-day operations I'm only involved in the mass distribution and not in particular the contact tracing. But the one heuristic that I helped define is very important in that we only collect data during the pandemic from the touchpoints that we were already collecting anyway before the pandemic. We do not invent new data collection touchpoints. And this is out of this respect to privacy and cybersecurity. Because for unknown systems, green field systems, the cybersecurity and the privacy parameters are unknown, literally to the people coding them probably. And so there is very much a difficulty in forming a social consensus on where lies the acceptable realm. But because we only use existing data collection points for, for example, location-based earthquake warning, flood evacuation warning, the national health IC card, and things like that, people understand very well the regulatory and the algorithmic parameters of safety. And so people feel safer because we don't have to declare, and we never did, a state of emergency that makes the administration grow and the legislation shrink. Everything that we do must be interpolated and approved, pre-approved by the legislature. So what are you working on next? What's new on the horizon that you can share with us? We just published a month ago, the National Action Plan on Open Governments in Taiwan. So instead of just one anecdote here or one anecdote there, this is now a system of 19 commitments to the global Open Government partnership community that we will institutionalize the kind of co-creation as evidenced by the examples that I just presented in day-to-day government work. In particular, I'm excited about this dimension of opening up citizen control to people below 18 years old. This is first because I'm very active as a 14-year-old, but I also genuinely believe that the youngest people, they have least legacy system view. They don't get trapped in the business as usual thought. And judged by the more than one quarter now, e-petitions that they raise on the joint platform, they care the most about sustainability and regenerated potential of the economy, long-term thinking and things like that, which I firmly believe is the direction to go. Valeria? Thank you. No, I just wanted to thank you so much, Minister. I know that you have to run for your next meeting, so I just wanted to thank you. And maybe, yeah, thank you on behalf of everyone, like these group of fans that you have over here. Professor Latanya, back to you. My next meeting is the cabinet meeting, so I thank you. Well, you've been gracious. We really appreciate it. What a great honor. Thank you very much, Minister Tang. And thank you for the great questions and exchange of idea until we meet face-to-face. Live long and prosper, everyone. Oh, I can't do it. Thank you. It's okay. Live long and prosper.

I don't know. You can do whatever you want with my art, as long as you attribute me, and on Thursdays on draw what I draw your requests that you have voted for. This will be, I think, the third or fourth time in a row where all the options are from Dragon's Dogma 2 because I'm still obsessed with that game, so that's fun. Hello everyone! First time seeing this amazing intro, thank you! Can I draw an American Bison? Maybe some other time, probably enough today. Love your art, love the metallic nails, thank you! Hello from Missouri, where are everyone located? Maybe you should draw Eldritch J from Murder Drones. I don't know what that is, but that sounds like something that's copyrighted. So I release all my art for free use, so I can't draw copyrighted materials. That's one of the reasons, one of many reasons why I rely so heavily on myth and folklore is that I need stuff that is free to use. Am I in focus? I'm in focus there, but out of focus there. I'll sit a little bit more like that. Germany and USA and Wisconsin and now my web is hanging. Let us see if, yep, it looks good. It's the picture good and the sound good and everything good. Midwest, let's see if I get some replies for that. And how many do we have? Quite a few. Seems like Scotland, Russia, Sweden. Sound and video is fine, excellent. So, good evening, Sir Arisen. Good evening, good Sir Arisen, yes. In my game I am not the Arisen, but I made one of the standard RPG characters I usually create for the player character in Dragon's Dogma 2. And then I created myself as a pawn, so if you're playing that you can search for Den Had Holm to find my pawn and go questing with him. People have. Netherlands, UK, New York, New York, Germany. Okay, so we are going to be drawing Medusa today. I thought I would do a variation on my Ink Monster thing because I bought some new pens in some new colors. I thought I would maybe just doodle around with these a little bit while reading the chat so I can't actually see what I'm doodling now. But I can sort of get a general feel for it and I will use that as the basis for hopefully for making Medusa. I can have a slight idea of what I'm doing. I can even see it delayed on my screen, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of what I'm drawing. I did see a peek there. Oh, I got another peek. Have you heard of Smite? Yeah, I never played Smite. I'm not that deeply into, or not at all into multiplayer games. I prefer to play single player. There's been a few multiplayer games I've been doing once in a while, but it's very seldom. Favorite DC villain? I mean, probably something basic like the Joker, but not the movie Joker. Okay, now I'm looking at what I'm drawing. Let's just start with this. Let's start looking. It's like a speech jammer, but for drawing. Fun idea. Yeah, sort of. I prefer to play with people I know, so less raging, yeah. Seagull. I've drawn some seagulls. Tell more about the myth of Medusa. Yeah, so basically, usually, before I do the streams, I usually, when I know what's going to win the poll, I usually research that an extra bit. But this time, I haven't gotten to do that, so I haven't double checked any of my Medusa knowledge, but I should know a little bit. So the Medusa icons or sculptures or vase paintings seem to be very, very old, so they seem to be older than classical Greece. Clear Medusas are often grotesque and more monstrous and sometimes bearded, which is interesting. And then in Greek mythology, Medusa is often portrayed as the one of the three Gorgon sisters who isn't immortal, because she was once a mortal woman who got cursed by one of the gods, often Poseidon, for some sort of illicit behavior. And then in later Roman interpretations, Ovid, I don't know if he comes up with the story or if this was an older story that he presented his version of, because there are so many versions of these myths, but in Ovid's version, Medusa gets raped by Poseidon and is punished for being raped, which is a very Roman thing. But it fits very much with that society, awful as it was, and yeah, she is transformed into a Gorgon, becomes sort of a monster, but there is something interesting with her is that in most of the Medusa myths, there is no account of her going out and turning people to stone, but rather that she turns to stone those who go to either kill her or get her treasures. So it sort of seems like it's not an aggressive villain, and also she was used as, I don't know if this was happening before Ovid's time, but at least after Ovid's time there is some evidence that she was used as sort of a charm or a ward to protect women specifically, which is an interesting interpretation, especially with the story of her being a rape. So let's read some comments. I know Medusa has the best testament to the gods, as the best testament to the gods envious nature, but that's the beauty about the Greek Matheon, they're all flawed. Snakes for hair eliminates a lot of styling needs, it does, it styles itself. Love your vids, do you support Therians maybe? I know too little about Therians, I support people, and people are people no matter what they identify as, and I think it's really interesting that people choose to identify as animals. I've seen that also as a part of a kind of long history of people identifying as their animal self, all through history basically. So it's interesting, but I don't know enough about Therians. If you are a Therian then do tell me and educate me, I think that's all I can say about that. Onwards about Medusa, the most known myth of Medusa is of course her slaying by the hero Perseus. We usually interpret this, the usual version of this as shown is like in the old Ray Harryhausen movie where Harry Hamlin is hiding behind his shield and using it to mirror her petrifying gaze back at her. I'm not sure if that is in the older myth, or if that's a much newer invention, but in the oldest myth that I've heard or read, Perseus actually sneaks in while Medusa is sleeping and cuts her head off. So basically Medusa does no harm to anyone except those who trespass on her territory often to kill her and for that she gets her head chopped off while she's sleeping. So very, very heroic Perseus. Perseus is kind of a dirtbag hero, many of them are, but yeah, these use as well. In the game God of War you can use Medusa's head as a weapon. Yeah, and that's not a new idea because what happens is, so Perseus, let's draw while talking, don't forget to draw. Perseus chops off her head, of her head jumps two beings. One is the Pegasus, the flying horse, and the other is a giant called Crysaur, Cryasaur, something like that, I don't remember the name. And the head he puts in a magic bag, I think, and then it was Athena that gave him the weapons and the magical items that he used to defeat, or to murder Medusa in her sleep, so he gives her the head. And you can see this Medusa head on Athena's armor, that's the basic idea. Before I even forget, please send our best regards to your friend whose paintings got stolen. Maria Virus got all her art and art supplies stolen, there is still a crowdfunding campaign to get her tools back. So look through my videos to find that. I absolutely love Ray Harryhausen, I love old school stop-motion animation, and yeah, I grew up on stuff like that. Let's continue, thingamabob, can you draw my dad loving his children? No, I can't really draw other people like that. I am probably going to draw, I am actually going to draw followers again, but I can't really draw a third party like that. I'm about to go to sleep, I just want to say this is so relaxing and fun at the same time. Excellent, thank you. Do any one have any questions like have you ever tried to do animation? Very little, I have animated a couple of music videos, very limited animation. I'm toying around with it every now and then, but super limited. I'm definitely not an animator by heart, but I am toying around with everything. May I offer the streamer and this chat a cookie, hey, thank you for the cookie. The animation is fascinating, but it's not something that fits my temperament, you could say. Can you draw the Joker or Green Goblin? No, because I release all my art for free use. So I love the Joker and Green Goblin, I'm a Marvel fan, but I release all my art for free use. So you can download it, you can copy it, you can change it, you can even sell it as long as you cite me as the artist. And that wouldn't be possible with copyrighted works. And I do this because I don't believe copyright is a good idea, I think copyright hurts art and it hurts culture and it hurts humanity. I would love to do fan art because I'm a fan of so many things, but that's not possible when I want to release my art for free use. What about getting your drawings tattooed? That is so awesome, many many people have gotten my drawings tattooed and when I get sent examples of that, it is just an amazing feeling. It's no matter if it's a great tattoo or a really bad tattoo, to see my art on someone's skin is absolutely amazing. So yeah, please tattoo my art, I absolutely love that. I've only seen your shorts before. What is this wonderfully creepy painting? We're doing Medusa, you guys decided, you guys voted for what I should draw and now I'm drawing it. I decided the options because I'm a little bit too addicted to Dragon's Dogma these days and it's hard to be here and not to be running around with my merry band of pawns and hunting down Chimeras and I haven't killed a griffin yet, but I'm going to do it soon. What's been your biggest drawing project so far? So project is probably my adoption of Pikman's Model which came out in 2012. Single drawing, there's a few that have taken months and months that I'm very proud of as well. I'm going to do something that will seem a little bit harsh now but I'm going to fix it with white ink afterwards. Do you feel about the hilarious Willy Wonka scandal in Glasgow? I love Glasgow, Glasgow is a great city. I've been there unfortunately only once and I absolutely loved it. But the Willy Wonka AI scandal was hilarious and I think we're going to see much more of those types of things because AI is a tool that will allow uncreative people to think they are creative because for someone who doesn't work creatively it seems like creativity, even though it's actually sort of the opposite. And yeah, we will see a lot of hilarious examples of schemers and shysters and tricksters and con artists trying to get away with using AI for stuff like that. I forgot to turn off the notifications on my phone so apologies if you're hearing that. Funny, when I sat down I planned on playing Dragon Stogma too but I saw you beginning the live and the rest is history. Oh go to Dragon Stogma, that's more important. No, stay with me. And also check out Patreon or becoming a YouTube member so that I can become rich and sit around playing Dragon Stogma all day. What are your thoughts on Warhammer? I played Warhammer in my teens, that's in the ancient days. I really like the art and a lot of the artists. I mean people like Karl Kopinski is awesome, Adrian Smith is awesome, so many good artists working on, having worked on Warhammer and I absolutely love. The lore is funny, the games seem funny but I haven't played them in a long while. I want to check out the Rogue Trader computer game because that seemed cool but I'm also not really good at turn based things. They made an entire document and everything, yes an entire document is almost like, now we're talking about the Willy Wonka scam in Glasgow where the organizers basically made a AI document with AI art examples and some printed out some thingamabobs. And took money for putting on a show and got other people to basically create the interactive experience based on their draft, based on their document and nothing else. So it was impossible to create. Every part of AI art is fake. I will say that I think that the idea that everything with AI art is fake is a very temporary position to be in. First of all, I was convinced that this iteration of AI wouldn't go far before it reached its limitations, I think I was wrong. Having a little bit better understanding of what this AI is, I think we will approach something that is indistinguishable from intelligence and from will and from maybe even from consciousness pretty soon when we start combining dozens of AIs into one or hundreds or thousands of AIs into one. Regarding AI art, it is a tool. It's no more than a tool, but we will also see artists integrated as a tool in their process for very interesting things. We've already seen it starting and we will see more and more of it. But it is also extremely scary. It will wreak havoc on the special effects industry, on the illustration industry, on the games industry, and it will leave so many talented artists without a job. It will at the same time create more room for, so if you're a good art director, you probably should be learning about AI. I do think that self-aware, intelligent AI is far off. I thought so too, but once I started playing around with AI and seeing a little bit of what it can do, and then heard about how they are planning to develop it with putting together what they often call agents of AI, where there's one for the speech and one for memory and one for organizing the memory and one for collecting the memory and one for this and one for that. And they all work together, then this will become a lot more than the individual algorithms and it will become so a lot faster. That's my prediction. And it is extremely scary that we're getting this potential, we're getting this AI while we're still in this, let's call it a post-capitalist hellscape, which means that any technological advancement will be used to cut costs and to cut jobs, yeah. There's without any plan for what people will do without jobs. And that AI is, the first thing AI is sort of going after is art and music and stuff like that, which art thinks people enjoy doing. And one of the greatest tricks of capitalism is taking things we enjoy doing, killing them, and then selling them back at a high price. Like exercise, like music, like art, like dance, like nature. And AI will be used to speed a whole. We are creating glados. I think we will wish we created glados. The cake is a lie. The problem with glados is that she's too human. On a lighter note, I want some names for the snakes. They're adorable. Thank you. Yeah, please give them names. Should have gone with something easier to draw than Medusa. It's now getting tired already. It's been a very long day. You should stay live for the next 12 hours! No! I will try to stay live for the next 12 minutes without falling asleep. I had this project which I called, or I'm calling Vanity, which is sort of my bodybuilding project, but I had to put it on hold because I didn't have time for it at this moment because of family issues. So, being a smart person, what I just recently did is, since I'm not training bodybuilding until after summer, what I'm doing instead is right after summer I will be running my first marathon. So now I've started my running training and that is making me tired. David Tennant could be one of the snakes, yes. Crawley, that's a good name. Pang! Good name. Noodle! Best name! Noodle is the best name for a Noodle snake. This one is called Noodle. Noodle, Noodle, Snake. That's how the song goes. The classic song of their sophomore album. The stress you've gotten from today. No stress, but I'm just tired. And I'm especially tired after I ran like six and a half kilometers today. Not fast, but I ran it. Strength trained yesterday. And I just, early today I was interviewed or talked with by Alan Averell of Primordial for his podcast Agitators Anonymous. And we talked about art and politics and anarchism and quarreled about everything because we don't see eye to eye on, we see eye to eye on some things, but very far from each other on other issues. But it was a really wonderful conversation. I'm very excited about what people will say when they hear it because I haven't gotten that many possibilities to talk about my politics and to try to basically debate someone about politics. And I'm not a debater, I try to create common ground and stuff like that, but it's interesting. Can one be named Python of course? What's your favorite HP Lovecraft story? So I think the best HP Lovecraft story, the best Lovecraftian HP Lovecraft story I think is without a doubt the shadow, sorry, the color out of space. That is the closest Lovecraft ever got to what he wanted to write. And some days that is my favorite Lovecraft stories. Other days I would, I mean I did a reading of Ex-Oblivion and What the Moon Brings and Your Love that Have a Memory and all of those short stories can be my favorite some days. The music of Eric's son can be my favorite. Shadow over Incemouth can be my favorite. Shadow out of Time is my favorite a lot of the time. I think that is a brilliant tale. Selfies, so many, it depends on the mood. Snakes with legs please, no this is post the fall so snakes no longer have legs. This is science. Have you heard of an artist called Junji Ito? Yes, fantastic. I haven't read too much of his work. I have, the only book I have of him is a short story collection which I'm very fond of. So I haven't read any of the longer stuff that he's known for but really magnificent artist and very weird, weird and scary and wonderful. And it's one of the many artists that I've sort of instantly recognized as this is something that speaks to me specifically for some strange reason I've never delved deeply into it. Love the Medusa art, thank you. 11 hours. Ooh, I don't think I can possibly fathom how exhausting your current life can be with the platform. I mean it's not 11 hours work every day so I think you win the exhaustion race today. Congratulations, you win the exhaustion race. Junji Ito's Hellstar Remina is very low-crafted and you need to check out I've just started watching, this is not related to Junji Ito at all but it's anime based on the manga. But I think, but I've finally started watching Attack on Titan and enjoying that so far. Very intense show you could say. And I'm looking forward to many years of checking out manga and anime with my kids. The lowest purple snake is called Slingus, that one. Slingus it is. I'm so tired now. But what's your opinion about the lore behind Medusa's hair? My favourite is that it's a gift to protect her. Yeah, I mean that's a good, that's an interesting interpretation. I guess I haven't thought about, I tend to think visually about these things and visually I absolutely love the idea of snake hair. It's just so time consuming to draw, the lowest yellow one is Blingus. Have you seen Berserk? Too little. So Berserk was really popular around the time I stopped consuming a lot of manga and anime for just random reasons, not because of the manga or anime. So I've only seen and read a little bit of the beginning. But I'm told that there's similarities between some of my stuff and Berserk. Although I haven't, I can't really, there is a lot of manga influence in my art so I don't really see the Berserk. Have you seen Doctor Who? Yes! My wife loves the newer Doctor Who stuff and I love it too. It is horror-adjacent so I love that and it's silly. Snake's Attack! Snake's Protect! Yes, indeed. That sounds like a metal chorus. Snake's Attack! Snake's Protect! Snake's Sick Snake in a Lake! It went downhill from there. Snake Woman, I wonder if she can communicate with her hair or not. Communicate with the individual snakes or use the snakes to communicate to the outside world. The latter she definitely can. Might as well be the snakes are constantly in peril, tugging and stretching on the doosa, keeping her awake and in pain. What's your favourite movie? That depends on the day as well. Some days it can be Dead Man by Jim Jarmusch. Some days it can be Terminator 1 by James Cameron. Some days it can be Top Secret by Sucker, Sucker and Abrams. Some days it can be Happy Together by Wonkawai. Some days it can be They Live by George Onkarpenter. Some days it can be basically any Jackie Chan movie. But usually I land on either Terminator 1 or Dead Man. Do you enjoy the work of Neil Adams? Check. Bernie Riteson? Check. Steranko? Check. Facetta? Check. Bisley? Check. Ashley Wood? I enjoy Ashley Wood, but that's the only of those artists that I haven't been deeply into at some point. And Miller is probably my main influence as an artist to this day, which you can probably see in a lot of my work. Nothing against Ashley Wood I just never... Again, one of those artists where I instantly see a affinity, but I haven't gone into his work. But Steranko was really important for me for a while. Neil Adams, not that important, but I have a lot of respect for Neil Adams. Simon Bisley, I mean, his slain comics. I see so much of Bisley in my work still. Bernie Riteson, definitely whenever I go a little bit more scribbly and more illustratorly, there's a lot of Riteson in my work. Yeah. But Frank Miller is probably the biggest individual influence. And Simon Bisley is a huge influence as well. I would say Keith is a huge influence. I see a lot of in my art. To this day, my snake is white, yellow and pale pink. Yes. Good for you and your snake. It's better than David Coverdale's white snake. He's like white snake. I need to find a way to end this because I'm so tired. I shouldn't have put Medusa on the poll this week. It's my bad, but I shouldn't have done it because I knew it would... It's fun. It's not that it's not fun. It is just... What can I say? If I had chosen an easier thing to draw today, I could probably better interact with you guys and better chill out and relax. The grass is always greener on the other side of the earth. I hope you never stop drawing. I hope so too. I don't want to stop drawing. I don't understand why people stop drawing. It seems like a stupid thing to do. Drawing is fun. Why would you stop? Should have turned off my notifications. Okay, do we have any more questions? Or should I just take this pause as an opportunity to plug that you should go to my website and buy merch at den ungehardhorm.com and that would help. I would really appreciate it. Or you can support on patreon.patreon.com. Or you can support by becoming a YouTube member. Now my duty is done advertising for myself. Thus being such a stud come easy, natural, I guess. I'll buy some. Yeah, please buy merch and buy originals. Buy prints. The originals are what we earn the most on because then there's no other costs than me. I buy some too. Excellent. Any recommended t-shirts? I like all my t-shirts. I really enjoy... The Satan Lives is the most bought t-shirt. I really enjoy that one. I also enjoy the bird one. So yeah, the minimalist death one is cool. And of course make free art or die. I mean, I have put up those designs because I think they're cool. It is print on demand t-shirt so it is what it is. We will be trying to, if we can earn more, we will be trying to set up more specialized things and use hopefully someday do our own printing and stuff. We don't have the money for that. I haven't gotten one of my t-shirts on today but I usually walk around with my t-shirts and I really like them. I would recommend the coffee mug with Stalin. I have my Stalin coffee mug every morning and I so enjoy drinking coffee from my capitalist Stalin or smoking Stalin as it's called in the webshop. I think that is a very funny one and it looks really good on a coffee mug and I love that coffee mug. And that's my favorite piece of merch that I have is the Stalin coffee mug. The auburn coffee mug, also okay, I let my wife drink coffee from that but the Stalin coffee mug is just for me and for anyone who buys it. I think it's hilarious. I need to do some really cheesy commercials for that one because it fits. Stalin coffee mug, not Stallone. Stalin. Stalin wants you to consume coffee from capitalist gup. Sputnik. Stalin coffee mug, yes. It is my capitalist Stalin drawing and it's wonderful. And when I did the video, that was on TikTok, when I did the video of the capitalist Stalin I managed to get hate and even some veiled death threats from both capitalists and communists so mission accomplished. Most communists are okay and many capitalists are mean well. The keyboard warriors are something else. Hello. Can we get a gonded dinner set? I will look into it. Thank you. Are you okay? Napoleon pepper shakers. I mean the ideas are great. Keep them coming. We'll do them all. We won't. Us monarchists would never send death threats. No! No monarchists have ever owned violence. God forbid God save the queen and the fascist regime that made you a moron to quote the poet. This would make an incredible tattoo. Then you are allowed to tattoo it if you want. I will try not to mess it up too much. It's confusing. The video is delayed way more than the chat for me. I just saw the monarchists. I can't quite... I don't know how this all works to model this a little bit more and that's the point when I'm liable to start ruining this art. I'll try to be super careful and not ruin it too much. Could you take a swing at painting Loki after this one? I've painted Loki many times and I will do so again. But today this will be the only one because I'm tired. Continue working. Doesn't seem that delayed on my side. Good to hear. Five minute delay for me. Oh, that's bad. Can't be because we started talking about delays less than five minutes ago. Bluffing. Or your psychic. Either bluffing or psychic. Odds are your psychic. Any pointers on drawing a partially peeled banana? Yes. Partially peel a banana and draw it. Use reference. Partially preparing for physical therapy with coffee and weeds. Is there any reason why Medusa is drawn with purple? No. These were colors I had laying around that I hadn't really experimented with. So I wanted to use them. I think she is coming along great right now. I want to do glue a little bit like this. And then like this. Purple is nice. That's why. Yes, that's why purple is nice. Start wearing purple, wearing purple. No, no, no, no, no. Start wearing purple for me now. Will all vanish, I tell you. Start wearing purple for me now. Good song. Favorite color. Shock green. Why? I don't know. It's always spoken to me. Really bright greens. I love really bright greens. Why don't I use really bright greens more? Because it's a difficult color. But I love it still. It's as good as this one will get. It's time to sign it. The date today is 2024, 18, right? Medusa. Why did I go with that? I don't know. Oh. Is it possible to draw horror Mickey Mouse? Yeah. I should really do something with Mickey now that Steamboat Willy is in the public domain. This was all I could do today. I like how Medusa turned out. And I enjoyed talking with you guys even though I am very tired. Now I need to go to bed. Before I go, remember all my art is available for free use. So you can use it for whatever you want as long as you put my name on it. And if you think that's a cool idea find a way to support like buying stuff from den ungehardholm.com or supporting by becoming a channel member or a patron. Well, look at that. Noodle slingers, bingers, python macaroni and rigatoni and all of the others are finally completed. She looks wonderful. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCMZc0ptFGw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

How much does bacon and pork roll weigh after it's cooked? Hey there, njrew22.com here with another low carb keto carnivore chat. And today it's about bacon and pork roll. Last week we had a weird video. I just wanted to share my feelings that I just totally had forgotten about pork roll and how good it was for the low carb keto carnivore diet. And I was curious, because they sell these pork rolls, I mean at least the boxes I have been buying, in six ounce packages for a little bit under $2 a pack. And we set our baseline for bacon most of the time at $4 a pound. And I was just curious, how much food do you get out of the package after cooking? And how much does it cost per ounce? So here's what I did. I had cooked up three different sizes and products recently. I had a thin sliced pack of, I think, Hatfield bacon, 16 slices of bacon. And I had a thick pack, a pound of bacon, a thick slice. It was 10 slices of bacon. The Lidies bacon. And I had a six ounce package of thick cut pork roll, the Tangy pork roll, a shop-right brand. I think they're all the same. There's case, and there's all the different brands you can buy of this pork roll. So I wanted to see how much food you end up with. So I fried up a pound of the thin bacon. And wow, I was surprised. It loses 75% of its weight after cooking. It was about 4.2 ounces after cooking. So 16 ounces down to about four. So that's 75% less it lost. And just to figure out, well, how much grease is left over? And I weighed the grease, too. So it was nine, sorry, five ounces about. Five ounces of grease. So you had nine ounces of food. And so seven ounces of evaporated. It was probably water. So it's pretty amazing. So you got, let's just round down, four ounces of food for $4. That comes out to a dollar an ounce after cooking. And I thought that the next I fried up the Eliti's thick cut bacon. And I thought, wow, this is definitely going to have a lot more food because it's thicker. Well, it wasn't the case. After frying up a pound of the thick cut bacon, it was only 4.4 ounces fully cooked, which, again, right around a dollar an ounce. And I thought, oh, maybe it has more grease. Now, around the same amount of grease. So thick cut or thin cut, it doesn't really matter. You end up with around the same amount of cooked meat and around the same amount of grease. Now, it's important to note that the grease can be reused. So don't throw it out if you don't want to waste it. You can use it to fry in, burgers, eggs, and it lasts a long time. We typically only save the grease from the nitrate-free bacon for whatever reason. I don't know why. It doesn't really make a difference, but we save that grease, and it lasts way longer. So we end up throwing a lot of the grease out. Otherwise, we'd have a refrigerator full of grease. And next, I fried up these four slices of thick cut, tangy, shop-right pork roll. And it turned out that we got more food. 4.8 ounces of meat. And that works out to about 35 cents an ounce. So it's a third of the cost per ounce of cooked food for pork roll. It loses 30% of its weight, either with water evaporation. And I measured the oil. There was such little oil left, but it was 0.1 ounces of oil left. So the pork roll, definitely ounce per ounce, is a better value than bacon, regardless of what costs pre-cooked. The one thing about pork roll is, because it's a denser food, I think you get more chewing action with the bacon. These strips of crispy bacon, I mean, 16 strips of bacon, equals about a little less than the same amount of food as four big slices of pork roll. So it's just kind of funny to say, well, this little pack of pork roll is the same amount of food as a pound of bacon. But yeah, you're definitely chewing more and eating more. So I would recommend not taking big bites of your pork roll. But when you're done, just cut it up into tinier pieces and eat it with your eggs. You might be able to enjoy the pork roll longer. But that was an interesting science experiment. And I think pork roll should be a go-to. That should be something you fall back on. I mean, you can eat it every week, because it's inexpensive. But it's also something you could fall back on if and when bacon is not on sale. Because they have the case pork roll at Walmart every day for $1.76 or something like that. And you can't beat that price when it comes to the amount of food you're getting and the cost per ounce. So there we go. That's a great inexpensive way to eat low carb, keto, or carnivore. Have a good day ahead.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ3V-Me2W2E", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

China has declined to call the Russian attack on Ukraine an invasion, while asked in Western countries to respect Russia's legitimate security consent. It has called for a solution to the crisis through negotiations. The crisis that now grips Europe heralds a moment of choice for China, the Chinese government and leadership. Under Mr Putin, Russia has chosen the path of violence and seeking to overturn the global order. The world has heard China's words about its commitment to global peace and respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and playing a positive role in the international community for a very long time now. So it's now up to China's and their leaders at this hinge point of history to demonstrate that these are more than just words. No country would have a greater impact right now on Russia's violent aggression towards Ukraine than China joining the rest of the world in denouncing Russia's aggression and applying the same sanctions we have. So far, they have not.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzNAApcxvEc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

What does it mean to you to hear the manager of this team, of the great work that you've done in the first two outings of this season? That vote of confidence that has given you? I feel good, I feel super satisfied. You know that I've given me the opportunity, I've given me confidence and I have to return to work. Since I've given me the opportunity, I'm trying to do what I can to return to work on the pitch. Every time you go out, you have to execute it like in the last game. Yeah, it feels great. The vote of confidence coming from your manager, I feel that if he's giving me that confidence, that belief in me that I've got to return to favor and do that out there on the field. And that's my focus, you know, every time I go out there, try to give the best I have, keep putting good outings out there.

Sarah's passion about packaging is on a mission to help others harness its potential. Sarah, I turn the microphone in presentation over to you. Thank you so much Ron. Hey everybody, I'm really excited today to present on e-commerce one of the most exciting trends we see right now as product manufacturers and packages. So for many companies e-commerce is like the wild west of packaging. Gone are the days of perfectly palletized shipments of your products sent to the retailer where a flashy package is unveiled to wow the consumer. In this traditional retail shopping environment consumers are the ones who shop the aisles, pick the products, scan and pay, bag, and bring home the product. It's free labor. But in e-commerce there is consolidated picking, last-mile distribution, and as we all know a lot more corrugated. By some estimates these additional costs can eat up well over 50% of the system-wide profit pull on a typical $10 online purchase. It is this very reason that we as product manufacturers and packages have to completely reinvent the way we package our goods for the new online retail standard. In this webinar we're going to discuss the key trends emerging in e-commerce. You will walk away with five tips for packaging in the e-commerce landscape. So let's dive right in. Let's set the stage for why in the world anyone even cares about e-commerce. Besides it being my go-to for stacking up on makeup, ordering the latest fashion trends, or replenishing my dog Murray's favorite food, there are statistics that support the insane growth of consumers turning to the screen for shopping. In the U.S. e-commerce continues to grow at a dramatic pace putting pressure on traditional retail. In 2015 this channel grew 14.6% while total retail sales overall grew by only 1.5% according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Even beyond these dramatic headline numbers something interesting is happening. Sales of consumer packaged goods long confined to traditional retail channels are exploding online with growth rates in many cases and excess of 50% year over year. While online sales only account for 3% of the $795 billion consumer packaged goods market currently, a projected four-year calculated annual growth rate of 18% means that nearly half the growth the industry will experience through 2020 will come through digital. In 2015 the sale of the following CPG categories grew well over 50%. As you can see beauty primer, baby diapers, mouthwash, bottled water, protein powder, adult nutrition, deodorant, health bars, toothpaste and detergent led the charge and converting consumers from purchasing in the store to purchasing online. Personally I wasn't surprised by these numbers because I have bought every single one of these items online. Well except for baby diapers and baby wipes because hey I just got married. But this leads me to a generational discussion. The optimism in e-commerce is largely attributable to a generational shift in the primary shoppers. Millennials, those born between 1979 and 1995 have surpassed baby boomers as the largest generation. We the millennials are digital natives and we're at a time in our lives where we're moving into our own homes and starting our own families, which means that in the next few years we will be spending far more on groceries and much of the spending is destined to take place online. Why? For convenience of course. In fact 41% of shoppers have already tried online grocery shopping. Online grocery shopping is becoming more and more popular. There are a few different delivery models for online shopping. So let's explore those. There's no one size fits all model for selling consumer packaged goods online. But there are a few e-commerce models which are pretty well defined. Emerging startups and industry giants are investing serious cash and developing tremendous innovation in the e-commerce retail space. The distribution requirements vary for each model that you see on the screen with especially different demands on the primary packaging. The delivered basket model is the most common type of grocery e-commerce. And as you might guess the delivered basket model also puts the most demand on the primary packaging. In the delivered basket model shoppers pick and choose their items as they might when pervading the grocery store in person. Products of varying size, weight, and temperature requirements must find their way across country to the end consumer in one piece. Think about that for a moment. How might you go about packaging cheese, toothpaste, and pet food all together for the same consumer? Well in this webinar we won't go too far into how all of those items get packaged together efficiently and we'll talk about the relationship to the end consumer. But we are going to discuss specific product categories and how we might go about optimizing the primary package to protect the product and get it effectively into the home of the consumer. So let's take a look at some of the CPG product categories and their potential for e-commerce. Not every product or category is in the same position. Fortunately there are certain categories which are already a great option for e-commerce. Those product categories, many of which you see highlighted in dark teal in the bottom right of the chart, are a natural fit for e-commerce. They work economically and do not have temperature or preservation requirements that demand a cold chain. Their primary packaging also does not really require innovation. These product categories such as diapers, razors, seasonings, and pet treats are fortunate to already be optimized for the e-commerce landscape. These categories are low-hanging fruit for e-commerce exploitation. Looking just above to the product categories highlighted in light blue, we see items which require new packaging formats to prove successful in the last mile of distribution for e-commerce. And on our left, highlighted in the purple, we see product categories which require refrigeration to survive. Cold chain appropriate packaging requires significant investment and is better suited for those product categories whose sales price makes the cut. For example, cold chain packaging is dominated by the pharmaceutical industry. And until we see these materials and logistics services come down in price, if we ever do, it will be tough to work these product categories into a model with a delivered basket model that makes sense for e-commerce. These items are instead better suited for the click and collect or fresh delivery models of e-commerce. Of course, there are a number of product categories outside of grocery that are ripe for purchase online by consumers. I simply hope that the data presented here set the stage for the immense potential for the future of online shopping, especially for those products which are repeat purchases and as many would believe, essential to survival in our modern society. With all of this opportunity, of course, comes a good many challenges. So for the remainder of this webinar, I will provide you with five tips to assist your e-commerce packaging endeavors. Let's dive right in. Tip number one, start with the end in mind. This is probably our all-time favorite motto at the packaging school that we embrace in everything we do. In retail packaging, what is your end goal? Well, it's probably to stand out on the shelf, grab the eye of the consumer and get your product in their cart for purchase and consumption. But in e-commerce packaging, now what's our goal? With the website doing most of the work for sales, what is the product's primary purpose? Well, it's back to the basics. The focus on e-commerce packaging is back to the fundamental function of packaging, which is to, I'm sure you guessed it, protect the product. This function of packaging for product protection was engineered in an entirely different way for retail. Packaging engineers for retail goods typically design their products to travel efficiently to market in cases, you know, 6, 12 or 24 counts of products that were perfectly aligned for stackability and endurance to retail. In the e-commerce world, consumers are typically purchasing one item of a kind, also referred to as an each. This each is the primary item being transported in e-commerce and its own its own, much earlier in the distribution process. Let's just consider for a moment the traditional brick-and-mortar supply chain in comparison to the new e-commerce distribution chain. In traditional retail, also known as brick-and-mortar, a product is manufactured, then packaged and shipped in palletized form to the distribution center. From the distribution center, also known as the DC, the packaged products are shipped via case to the retail store. And at retail, the products are shelf-sacked for the consumer to purchase them. Take them home and, yes, consume them. It seems like a lot of hands and you might be thinking, yeah, that's why e-commerce is awesome. It's direct to consumer. Well, not exactly. In e-commerce, products must pass through many, many more hands as evidence on the image on screen. In fact, the distribution chain of e-commerce can have almost three times as many touchpoints as traditional retail. That's a whole lot of opportunity for product damage along the way. So how have brands and e-commerce retailers been combating this potential for damage mainly to date? Well, of course, by adding more tonnage material, right? That solves everything. No, wrong, wrong, wrong. Just look at these examples posted by outraged consumers. Millennials especially are not afraid to post pictures of packaging like the one shown here. Or, better yet, dedicate an entire Buzzfeed article to the atrocity. The days of throwing an added tonnage, also known as packing material, and slapping a shipping label on the package are over. Companies must do a better job of evaluating the distribution environment and engineering packaging that meets those needs. It's time we redesigned. But where do we begin? Two key variables that you must evaluate are product package integrity and package shipping cost. Fortunately, for both of these variables, there are set formulas that you can follow and experiment with to get to your ideal end result. One of the best ways to navigate the challenges of product integrity is to test packaging for the distribution environment. The International Safe Transit Association, often referred to as ISTA or ISTA, is the leading industry developer of testing protocols and design standards that define how packages should perform to ensure protection of their contents during the ever-changing risks of the global distribution environment. We'll identify two test protocols especially relevant for e-commerce packaging. On the other hand, the cost to ship your product must be taken into consideration when engineering packaging. The cost of shipping and handling is driven by the weight and volume of the product package combination. For example, pet food is an expensive item to ship, but not always an expensive item to purchase. To the manufacturer, a big issue is this added cost to ship those items. So we'll learn how shipping costs are calculated for parcel packages. First, let's look at distribution testing. ISTA 3A is a general simulation performance test for package products that weigh less than 150 pounds. Essentially, this is the test for e-commerce shipments which consist of multiple products, the delivered basket model which we discussed. It is critical that manufacturers interested in e-commerce understand and leverage the ISTA 3A standard as a map and a guide to design primary packaging that will survive that last mile of distribution. So if you're interested in learning more about distribution testing and what the test protocol involves, things such as atmospheric preconditioning, random vibration, shock testing, and seeing live video of all these happening, the packaging school has a distribution packaging online course that details all of these things in a certified ISTA lab. There's even an ISTA test designed uniquely for Amazon package products. We're talking specifically Amazon package products designed for the ship and own container category, SIOC, which you may have heard buzzing around the industry. We'll learn more about this soon. So this testing protocol was developed by combining data from previous studies of transportation environments, relevant testing protocols, Amazon fulfillment center, environment visual observations, and repeated customer feedback. This test is for package products shipped by vendors to Amazon.com fulfillment centers and then delivered to final customer destinations via parcel or less than truckload, LTL, outbound shipment methods. It challenges the capability of both package and product to withstand transport hazards normally encountered during handling and transportation. Amazon.com vendors with items intended to utilize the SIOC designation are encouraged to use this test to understand the protective performance of their packaging. There are also unique tests for FedEx, Sam's Club, and another of other environments. I highly encourage you to check out the ISTA website for more information or contact me because we do have courses that instruct on these different distribution test protocols as well and certified labs that you can utilize services from. So next we'll talk about shipping cost. A big challenge for those involved in e-commerce is shipping cost. Shipping costs were historically calculated on the basis of gross weight and kilograms or pounds. But by charging only by weight, lightweight, low density packages became unprofitable for freight carriers due to the amount of space that they take up in the truck, aircraft, or ship. Today freight carriers utilize the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight to calculate shipping charges. So what is dimensional weight? Well, it's often referred to as dim weight and it's calculated as a volumetric weight for pricing by length times width times height divided by the dimensional factor. Now this dimensional factor which you see represented on the slide as DIM it varies from carrier to carrier and it can be updated at any time. Recently there was a lot in the news because a specific carrier changed that amount and it affected a lot of shipping cost. So I highly encourage you to check out websites such as shippingeasy.com that enable you to calculate your dim weight for different carriers simultaneously and all you need is the length, the width, and the height of your package that's carrying that product. So what dim weight tells us is that packages with unused volume space will eat into a company's profit margins. Unless your package is optimized to use all available space in a delivery truck, you're paying to ship air. This is a huge area of opportunity where companies can take the initiative and begin designing packaging specifically for e-commerce, which has been coined as right sizing your packaging. You can avoid dimensional weight charges by using smaller boxes, compressing your goods, and reducing the use of packing materials as long as you've used an ISGA test to make sure the product still stays safe. Learning all of this about how shipping costs are calculated means you have to re-think your packaging. You may have already predicted tip number two, which is to rethink primary packaging and I want to stress the word rethink because a lot of times the word innovation or innovate is I would say overused in our industry. Not always do we have to completely invent something new. There might already be a package so I simply want to challenge each and every one of you to rethink the way that we have been packaging goods in their primary format. We'll go through some examples of why this is essential and some solutions that perhaps you can incorporate for your own products and packaging. Outside of not being designed to optimize space for shipping in each is many conventional packaging formats designed for traditional retail fail to survive in the e-commerce distribution chain. Here are some of the common failure points. Threaded caps come loose and leak liquids due to vibration. Caps may crack and shatter. Cans, you guessed it, they didn't. Glass shatters, triggers and sprayer nozzles can compress and force out the liquid. Nobody wants leakage. Pumps can break. There can be holes caused by vibration which result in a loss of the vacuum or leakage. Paper can get punctured and again it's your product. Plastic sorter ring holders can stretch, fail and cause cans to come loose and jars might lose their seals and allow air to spoil the product. That's a lot of potential for product damage. It's not good for the manufacturer nor the consumer. To better understand the performance of typical CPG packaging in the e-commerce supply chain, a leading packaging provider BMIS conducted comprehensive tests on common consumer packaged goods in line with the industry standard ISTA 3A methodology. The results present a major challenge. Of the 170 products tested across 34 product categories, only 53 items survived testing. That's a failure rate of nearly 70%. Those are far too high of stakes and as you can see on the screen the results of the different categories and how they performed. So, there's high risk in goods like cereal, shampoo, detergent, chips, wipes, condiments dressing, soda, other household cleaners, but there was some good news. There are categories that present a low risk when shipping to consumers. You know, soups in hard plastic containers seem to fare better than their metal counterparts. Soups in pouches baby food in pouches. You'll see a common pouch reoccurring theme. Paper towels, toilet paper and even plastic pet food bags. As companies pivot towards e-commerce, decision makers must keep an open mind to change. What once would have never been considered for a retail shelf now might have a better chance of surviving that distribution environment and there are other ways to make up for the consumer experience. For example, rigid or glass formats that may work well for store shelves could be prone to damage when shipped cross-country to a consumer's home. Laundry detergent and large rigid hard plastic jugs can suffer from a damaged spout, deplete the detergent and ruin the entire shipment in the process. Many forward-looking CPGs are exploring alternatives to rigid packaging. For example, flexible pouches that are easier to ship. They're lighter and weight so they offer lower total package costs and they really optimize that product to package ratio. You can see some examples of ways to rethink primary packaging on the screen. Examples for baby food, soup, pet food and detergent. Actual redesigns that were prototyped and tested and then passed the ISTA3A standard. So let's take this even further to think if what if the primary package was the shipping container? This leads me right into tip number 3 which is to eliminate excessive packaging. Environmental issues like reducing landfill waste are a huge concern for our industry, especially with millennial consumers making a full of brands who fail to consider how their packaging is impacting the future of our world. If you've been to a packaging conference in the last year, I can guarantee that sustainability came up more than once. So of course we were going to cover it in today's webinar on e-commerce because we have more of an opportunity to do something about it than ever. We have that opportunity to reinvent our packaging for this new purchasing model and with that sustainability should really take priority. Just take a look at these poor examples of e-commerce packaging. The photo on the left was a shipment of three pairs of socks. Socks people. Were that many air pillows really necessary to protect a pair of cloth socks? I don't think so. And the middle and right hand photos are products whose corrugated containers were clearly oversized. The box of the cards against humanity game is and is a crime against humanity. Fortunately e-commerce has the unique potential to reduce waste in the environment by eliminating excessive packaging. Because product not packaging is displayed to customers at purchase. Product reviews and star ratings guide customers more so than the flashy package on the retail shelf. No visual size comparison or perception goes on across products. The prevention packaging features aren't really required anymore. Socks, silver, sexy packaging aren't required to showcase that product. So let's look at some ways that we can embrace sustainability while packaging for e-commerce. Fortunately, industry leader Amazon has set standards that enhance the sustainability and efficiency of shipping containers for vendors shipping through Amazon. Amazon has taken a three-tiered approach in creating a packaging certification pyramid. At the top, there's frustration free packaging also referred to as FFP, which is the gold standard of Amazon's packaging certification program. FFP certified packaging is capable of shipping in its own container and minimized, fully recyclable and easy to open packaging. This ensures the most optimal experience for consumers. Next, there's ships in own container or SIOC as I mentioned earlier. This is Amazon's second tier of certification and it minimizes waste through ensuring that packaging is designed to ship without the need for an Amazon overbox. Some products may require additional protection using non-recyclable packaging materials such as foams to ensure minimal damage during shipment. Lastly, there's prep-free packaging, PFP. This is Amazon's third tier of certification. PFP packaging is designed for items that are not capable of shipping in their own container. For example, liquid products that are not six-sided, these items require an Amazon-applied overbox. What differentiates certified prep-free packaging from the rest is that Amazon is not required to apply additional packaging to prevent damage like additional dunnage. And then of course there is the not-certified packaging which an Amazon overbox must be applied to. And Amazon realized that there was a lot of excess waste coming from this. Not only that, the experience of opening the package and trying to unpack what was once intended for retail didn't fit this new consumer model of shopping online and then opening up your goods in the home. So when Amazon implemented this, they realized that they were changing the industry and they've produced some pretty fantastic results. So I'll show you just a few examples of that here. So this is a Norelco one-blade case study. What was once put out for standard retail was originally shipped in an Amazon overbox. You can see that packaging on the left-hand side of the image here. There's lots of airbags. There's too much plastic. There's a lot of excess that made sense for retail again. You've got to sell the consumer. But when it came to already having sold the consumer via the landing page online, was all that packaging really necessary? No. So the package was redesigned for the Norelco one-blade for frustration-free packaging certification. And look at the results. What was once 13 packaging components was taken down to nine. What was once a volume of 709 is now down to 144. That's an 80% change. And what was once a lot of air being shipped has now been reduced significantly. So here we have the Philips Hue case study and for this packaging, standard retail on the left-hand side you'll see that there actually wasn't a change in packaging components. There are still six. However, package volume was significantly reduced by 74%. And lastly, the air shipped 81% less. They saved a lot of packaging. So let's look at the results. What impacts has Amazon made by implementing their packaging certification tiers? Well, over 1.1 million products have been certified, which saved over 164 million overboxes, resulting in more than 10 trees being saved. That's pretty fantastic. Well, so far we've been highly focused on package engineering for product safety and sustainable and efficient delivery. But what about the consumer? The person that we're all in it for, of course we need someone to buy the goods that we're manufacturing. So let's talk about e-commerce in light of the consumer. This brings me to tip number four, delight the consumer. Usually half the battle in a retail store is getting the consumer to even notice you and the packaging does that job for you. But this isn't the case anymore. With purchasing online, your package is guaranteed to be seen. So it's more about creating an impactful experience that lives up to the anticipation which has been building in the mind of your consumer since they hit the buy button. The widespread adoption of social media has influenced brands to make their packaging shareable. A quick search of the hashtag unboxing will reveal over a half million posts. And the number of videos on YouTube with unboxing simply in their title have increased by 871% since 2010. That's a lot of unboxing videos. And it makes sense that brands would do this because it's free advertising. So you really want to be able to hone in on the unboxing experience and we'll look at some ways that you can do that. But first, before we dive into a few cool examples of consumer delight in e-commerce packaging, let me talk to you about an example of what not to do. So I registered for this flatware set during my wedding and I did a completely online registry which all of my friends loved and most of my family loved because they were able to conveniently purchase and send a gift to me with a personalized congratulations message and did very little work themselves. So it came as no surprise that this flatware set would come in the mail to me. But how it came in the mail to me was a completely different story. So this is the box that arrived in the mail. First of all, I had no idea that it was going to be my very nice flatware set but when I opened it up, I still was unsure because there was so much bubble wrap encompassing the silverware. And finally I realized what it was and was like, wow, I cannot believe that they fit all this silverware into this little box. It makes sense for right sizing, yes, but for the experience, not so much. I'm sure that the person who purchased my husband and I this gift would not have appreciated the presentation format which it arrived. Not to mention that every single one of these were protected in their own plastic bag. So yay, no scratches but unfortunate for the amount of time it took to actually unbox all of this flatware and get it into our drawer. So let's talk about what you should do on the converse of this. Really let your brand personality show. Personalized notes which can be executed at scale thanks to digital printing. Custom designs on the insides of the box. Colorful, done-age, colorful printing different patterns and more can all contribute to a memorable unboxing experience. And companies hope this will result in repeat customers. Some videos of unboxing receive over a million views so it's easy to see the advertising value of a really great unboxing experience. And it's not just what's inside the box that counts. It's also the exterior. Perhaps you have seen Amazon boxes which double as billboards like the one of the Minions shown here. The box is pointed to a special Amazon URL which sold all things Minion hats, socks, games, you name it, they made it and they sold it. So this example further proves that packaging can be the physical touch point which connects consumers back to the digital world. Same thing for Zappos. This is another example that I received myself. You can actually measure your children's feet and then by all means of course next time please buy shoes for your children on Zappos too. I thought that that was a clever approach to making functional, created packaging that really drove purchase intent. So I'd like to note that the benefits of exterior box printing must be weighed into consideration with the cost of pilferage or the boxes getting stolen or broken into. That's definitely something that you want to consider. So last but not least, tip number 5 which is to optimize packaging for the screen, not the store. By this I mean how will your product packaging be represented in the digital landscape and how can it be utilized to encourage more purchase intent. The old roles HCPG company owns the most shelf space at retail and has the bigger package billboard wins. Those days are over. As we just learned that same air for a taller package and more billboard space works completely against your bottom line when it comes to e-commerce. The roles are flipped. The rules in e-commerce packaging really don't even exist yet for how they should be viewed on a screen but there are some pretty innovative companies who are researching this very area right now. So let's talk about that. One strong hypothesis is that online shopping for groceries is being held back by the design of the shopping interface. The pervasive electronic catalog which was of course popularized by Amazon and now replicated by most e-retailers, it was developed for purchasing books. We all know that's how Jeff Bezos got started and so not much about it has really been innovated. It relies heavily on rational information intensive factors such as consumer reviews, ratings, algorithm driven recommendations. But this approach isn't optimal for grocery and consumer packaged goods purchases which to date are largely habitual and made for auto pilot in a store. They're really driven by the visibility and recognition of familiar products, the ones you grew up with, the ones that you know your wife wants you to buy when you get to the store in the yellow box. In e-commerce the small thumbnail visuals make it difficult to instantly recognize and read packaging. Therefore it's simply not as easy to quickly identify, select and compare these products online as it is when you're in the physical store at the point of purchase. That new shopping experience appears to be a barrier for e-commerce adoption for many consumer packaged goods items. And it may lead more people towards list shopping and automated replenishment and discourage the spontaneous purchasing that we as product manufacturers really love. Therefore e-retailers and grocery manufacturers have a shared interest in developing new interfaces for shopping that can really bridge that gap between shopping in the store and shopping online. Research companies are utilizing eye tracking and other innovative technologies to study how product package presentation on the e-commerce website correlates with purchase intent. I highly encourage you to stay tuned on this front. But as you will see on this screen there are a few key takeaways that we do know which is when using a desktop shoppers focus almost entirely on the top third of the page. Are we surprised? I think that most of us click the first link we see on Google. It rains true for the e-commerce shopping environment as well. You want your products to be as high up as you can get. There is a new rule coined the five scroll rule by Terry Goldstein and she says that you're not going to get past five scrolls. That's even more true on mobile devices. But I would love to hear any insights you have here and I'll certainly be sharing more insights that we uncover as we continue to research this emerging front of optimization for e-commerce packaging. So in conclusion, I'll just review the key takeaways for optimizing your e-commerce packaging and hopefully as you've noticed approaching e-commerce packaging design from a truly holistic perspective which begins first and foremost with starting with the end in mind. Then rethinking primary packaging in the process hopefully eliminating excessive packaging, delighting the consumer and making sure to optimize packaging for the screen and not the store. So that's about all I have for today in an effort to ensure that everyone is up to date and well educated on the innovations, materials and processes happening in the industry. The contract packaging association is a fantastic resource for this. Highly encourage you to join if you're not a member already and also we are very fortunate to be a partner with CPA. The packaging school is a provider of online education and training for companies and individuals in the industry. We have a great partnership with CPA so I highly encourage you to check out more information on the website and also please do contact me for more information. Link in with me. I'm sharing updates every single day about what's happening in the packaging space especially following very closely e-commerce packaging, one of my very favorite topics to discuss as you've learned today. You can contact me at Sarah at PackagingSchool.com or give me a call at 864-986-3033 and with this I am going to turn it over for questions, comments. I have not looked at the chat since we've been on so I'm going to do that right now. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. Thank you Sarah. Appreciate it and those of you who are looking to ask questions there is a question forum please put your questions in there. We'll try to get them answered. Sarah we do have a few questions to go with so should we expect higher costs to achieve online packaging success? You know you showed some examples of customized boxing and things like that. That typically is higher costs. Should we expect higher costs to be successful in the online marketplace? There's two sides to that question so you can see higher costs definitely. Some of those examples of really fantastically designed packaging with bright colors and personalization are going to cost you more. That's a given but you don't have to invest in all of that to optimize your packaging for e-commerce. Going back to tip number one which is to really optimize for the distribution environment and right sizing your packaging by using some of those test methods. That's a way that you can be successful in e-commerce because brands are looking for any sort of help that they can get in saving money and shipping costs and getting on the good side with Amazon and right sizing packaging using those formulas is the best way to do that. So that's step one and then if you want to get into really designing and personalizing packaging, yes it may cost more for the initial investment but what you've got away is how much is that going to increase your sales? So I definitely recommend doing testing on all of those levels. Did that answer your question? I think that answers the question. A couple other ones here. Are there other certification programs with other online retailers or is it only Amazon that has a certification program? That is a great question. I'm not going to say that there aren't because I haven't looked into it in depth. There may be. I know that Amazon is the giant right now so they are most prominent in creating packaging standards and certifications partnering with organizations like ISTA but other providers or packaging providers might have their own unique certifications but I would look to what I presented today as kind of the entities that are setting the standard that anyone to come will follow. Another question we've got is do we give up the wow factor in packaging to survive the e-commerce marketplace? I love this question and it goes back to the first question I answered and some of the personal experiences shared like the example of the flatware you saw, I say no as a consumer please no. I think that we still have the right to be delighted by packaging even though we're not buying it in the store. We shouldn't have to completely sacrifice that experience and it doesn't have to be through extremely expensive methods of personalizing packaging. Even a simple insert of a piece of paper representing the brand with a fun message can accomplish a smile on your customers face. So as a consumer please don't sacrifice great design and as someone who loves great packaging I say that as well but also as someone who runs a business I understand that it's an equation for the bottom line so always evaluate your design and your innovation and trends that you're following in light of how it's going to affect what you charge your consumer and how much profit you're able to make as a company. How probable or possible is the no package package? Hmm no package package. I'd love to see examples of this if you have some. I mean I've seen like edible packaging or you know bio materials that are to dissolve with the product but the closest in e-commerce I have seen is the Amazon Frustration Free Packaging which houses the product in that shipping container. So I think that that would be probable since Amazon is striving to do it and with a number of products have accomplished it but as we all know packaging is essential to the integrity of a product not only to get it to its end destination but to comply with laws and regulations and communicate to consumers what's inside. So I don't know that there will ever be a time in our lives that packaging is not existent if that answers your question. I think that that probably does. They may have been talking about the secondary packaging too. There seems to be a lot of packaging and online. How does that fit sustainability goals and you know are the sustainability goals Amazon's or the brands they're trying to sell? It's a partnership. Sustainability is key in any packaging initiative especially for major consumer packaged goods companies who have that well tied into incentives and shareholder reports. So I would say that Amazon is working very closely with consumer packaged goods companies to make sure that the packaging initiatives they create are in line with the sustainability goals they've already set. But Amazon also realizes their responsibility as really the creator of this category essentially and someone who handles so many products that they have to take it upon themselves to really take that next step forward in prioritizing sustainability and setting these goals for how much material we can save through less packaging through more lightweight packaging and working with brands to right size packaging. So overall I'd say it's a partnership and something that more packaging providers and even smaller manufacturers should get into the conversation with. So I would love to hear from you and hope to really cross collaborate on any of these sustainable packaging initiatives. Okay another one here. It appears we have to go the route of pouch packaging to be successful. Is that true? I knew this question would come up. This is flexible packaging. We do see an overwhelming trend of products switching to this package format of the pouch to be optimized for e-commerce. I don't know that you have to to be successful. I would say that in a lot of product categories as you saw in my presentation it does increase your chance of success for reducing the size of that package bringing down your weight of what ultimately someone is going to be charged to ship that product to the consumer in. That's really where flexible packaging has a huge benefit as well as many of you probably know shipping flat to the point of packaging those goods themselves. So there are a lot of benefits to pouches but there are also a lot of benefits to other package formats. I still see great usage for of course paper. Corrigated containers are what run our shipping environment and paperboard cartons as well still work for a lot of product categories out there. I'm even saying this from a consumer perspective of goods that I have received in the mail and thought were a good experience and felt right sized for the shipper. But we can't overlook glass and metal and plastic. They all have their place too. It's with material innovations that we're increasing the strength and lessening the weight of these where we'll be able to continue to use them as primary packaging for e-commerce. Okay. All right. Well Sarah we're slowly getting to the end of our time. I want to appreciate everybody's attendance today. The broadcast will be posted on the CPA website at contractpackaging.org. So please if you have somebody who has missed it please spread the word. We'd love to have them come back and listen to it. Sarah thank you for your time and appreciate it and that will end our webinar for today. Thank you all for attending. Thank you so much Ron and all of the attendees today. Contact Packaging Association. The packaging school was proud to participate. Thank you Sarah. Take care now.

Russia has not suspended mobilization and is considering the possibility of conscripting an additional 450,000 people. Kyrylo Budenov, Chief of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, has said. Budenov said this in an interview with Krim.RelaiMediaOutlet. Now they are considering the option of conscripting an additional 450,000, although this issue has not yet been fully resolved. He said, Budenov emphasized that mobilization in the Russian Federation has not stopped. Last autumn, they conscripted about 350,000 Russians. But covert mobilization continues all the time, and currently 20,000 to 22,000 people are called up every month. In itself, this leads to the next question. Why such a number if the losses are, as they say, negligible? Well, you will see that the truth is somewhere in the middle, Budenov explained. Political experts, however, point out that Putin's initial mobilization decree is still in full force, and a steady trickle of reports shared on social media suggests some men are still being recruited. Now military experts predict Russia might have to ramp up the tempo again in light of losses sustained in bloody battles. President Vladimir Putin's announcement last September of a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine sparked widespread panic and the departure of tens of thousands of Russian men abroad.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzkfSOqNCcc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC7J1RhaoNQnxOcg2_WVJ-wg	John Mata \| Guest Speaker 05/23/18 \| "For Richer or For Poorer"	calvaryccv.org	null	2018-05-25T18:41:25	2024-04-23T00:52:37	2,778	vZRVSeO7PAc	So as we turn to our Luke chapter 16 the message of this of this mess of this the mess that the title of this message is for rich or for poor and this has been a A scripture that has been that I've been thinking about Lately and I'm trying to get my thing to open here And it's been I've been thinking about this message how There's an importance see and an urgency to this message We're living in dark times as we all know All around us. It's dark and I'm not talking about daytime. Just look around of what's going on We live in a time that's a lot of uncertainty. We see things in the Middle East flaring up We see things just all around us in the news if you listen to the news It's depressing. I Was telling my wife the other night. It just seems like children are being shot It just people are going crazy and this Scripture tonight is a good reminder for me To make sure the inventory of my soul is where it needs to be Because there's gonna become a day soon that we'll meet our Savior face to face and This passage tonight is a good reminder For those who we may have that are unsaved Or those who will may be sitting here tonight that I'm not sure where I stand with Jesus It's a good reminder To know that there was an afterlife after our life here on earth and it's real and Jesus gives an illustration in Luke chapter 16 beginning at verse 19, but I want to set the context and Is this message intended to scare you? Yes, no, I'm teasing Boo, but the context of this time that Jesus is speaking is He's going to the house of one of the rulers in in chapter 14 of Luke and He's a ruler of the Pharisees and he's there to eat bread on the Sabbath and Chapter 15 it describes who's at this house. There's lawyers. There's Pharisees and there's writers of the law scribes and they watch him very closely These men so that they may find an accusation that they can bring towards Jesus and ultimately Sentence him to death But it's during this time that Jesus speaks in parables to those who are invited to this meal and It's interesting that in chapter 14 verse 3 That at least the Pharisees and the lawyers are present and Jesus teaches the parables of the invitees of this meal So what is a parable? Well, it's made up of two Greek words. It's para and bole Pada means come alongside or beside and Bole the second part of that word means cast aside or come alongside in truth So Jesus would speak in parables because he would have a message that he would like to portray and alongside that would be some illustration of truth a Lot of times you see Jesus really speak into the times of that might be big. He uses agriculture He uses a lot of different things to describe a truth and he puts it alongside of that that is a parable It's a familiar idea that's kept cast beside an unfamiliar idea in Such a way that would help people understand what Jesus was trying to say So we see in chapters 14 through 16 of Luke that Jesus uses six parables to address his audiences of the lawyers the Pharisees and the scribes But in six chapter 16 where I want to look at tonight Jesus comes to a point where he stops using a parable See parables were usually vague in nature in terms that there were no names mentioned It was usually a certain man or a certain person or and it would never really name a person in a parable but here in chapter 16 Jesus now Doesn't use a parable and he begins to usually use an actual case he begins to illustrate an Event that he foreknew from his eternal perspective the importance of this passage is That it's fatal and Eternal consequences of a man who lives only for himself He lives for his riches and and he rejects Jesus as his Savior It's also interesting to point out that Jesus speaks more of hell than he does of heaven He speaks more of the consequences that we would face rejecting Jesus that he actually describes the kingdom of heaven and here Jesus gives an actual case of a man of two men One rejects the Lord One has his faith in the Lord and Here is one of those instances. Let's pick up in verse 19 Luke chapter 16. Let's pick up with verse 19 Lord be with us as we present your word may it go out in power in Jesus name amen There was a certain notice it's in red. So Jesus is speaking. There was a certain rich man Who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously? Every day But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus full of sores Who was laid at his gate designed to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores Interesting to point out that the rich man it literally isn't named But in Latin a rich man was usually called divas Which meant rich? His extreme lifestyle is pointed out by Jesus Jesus uses a couple of interesting different things to illustrate this man's lifestyle First thing that Jesus points out in verse 19 is that he was clothed in purple and That he dressed in fine linen Purple is often a symbol for royalty. It's also a symbol of wealth, but it's more of a symbol of status So this was like the GQ Armani of that time He wore the most expensive purple fine linens that was available that day It's the rich man's wealth was an evident by his purple and fine linen Which indicates a luxurious and expensive clothing usually imported from Egypt It was very expensive It's it's also interesting to point out that the Bible describes in Mark chapter 15 verse 17 that a purple robe was placed on Jesus when he was being mocked When he was gone on his trial the pilot they clothed them with purple a purple robe It's interesting to point out that ultimately they didn't know they were really Put it on the robe of the king of kings But it's interesting to point out in verse 19 where it says any fared sumptuously every day What's interesting about this is that this word fared sumptuously every day is a word used for feasting Or for a word that is described for gourmet feeding This guy was eating Well every day Back in that time you'd only see of rich men and kings do this probably on a yearly basis But Jesus points out that this man did it daily What does that tell us we do something daily it be it can become worship for us If we read our Bible daily, we're worshiping our King if we live every day for ourselves We're not worshiping our King We're worshiping our flesh and when there's a tendency to and there can be a tendency to for those who Live for such a fluency every day it can become a God in their life Now am I saying that being wealthy is sin? No, I'm not saying that at all What I am saying though is anything that we place before the Lord we can have It can become our God and So this is what Jesus is illustrating here This man lived a lifestyle that was so expensive So affluent and so luxurious that there was inherent inherent danger about this lifestyle We can there can be a shift in our worship from God To anything in our life that consumes us a Man that lived in such luxurious Lifestyle on a daily basis had to put some effort into it and He did this daily. So what's the danger from this is that we can shift From a certain lifestyle Tell now worshiping a particular lifestyle and What we serve is what we worship Now we can put anything in that blank It doesn't have to be wealth. It can be Relationships it can be our car, which if you guys see my car, it's obviously not my car It can be our children It can be anything that has been placed in our path that has taken our worship away from the Lord or has turned us Directly away from the Lord and has allowed us to live a lifestyle That's for ourselves and this is what Jesus is illustrating now, please Please don't even understand me that having wealth is wrong or or sinful live in a life where wealth has become Having wealth that has become what you live for that's where it becomes dangerous When you start living for something other than Jesus, that's when things get dangerous And here we have two accounts that we will look at one who put his faith in the Lord and The other who put his faith in his wealth and riches Be careful You know, it's interesting that we live in a lifestyle today that promotes seeking self-pleasure Go to Barnes & Noble and look how many self-help books there are Look at how many Do it yourself slogan campaigns that is in our society today. The world tells us that I don't need a God I don't need God. I'm doing good on my own That's what the world tells us. I got my money. I have my riches. I have my wealth I don't need you Lord Do it yourself. You're the God in your life. You don't need God do whatever feels good. You deserve it is What the world is telling us today, you know, it's interesting to point out. I looked at a statistic right before I came in and 22% of evangelical Christians believe that there's no hell 15% believe they don't know When I looked at the Buddhist 95% believe that there's no hell if they're ever read Luke chapter 16 It would be astonished Both in Psalm 14 one and in Psalm 53 one David says the fool has said in his heart. There is no God They are corruptive and have done abominable iniquity There's no one who does good How? Eternally fatal this can be but we see in verse 20 look at the contrast, but now there was a certain beggar named Lazarus full of sores Who was laid at his gate designed to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table? Moreover dogs came and licked his sores now. We see somebody who's named So now this tells us that this is not a parable, but it's an actual account that Jesus has known from his eternal perspective We see that the name Lazarus really means and just to back up. This is not the same Lazarus That's mentioned in John chapter 11 This is a different Lazarus who was before that time and The word the name Lazarus from the Latin actually means Elezate la czar, which is God is with me or God is my help, but we see that he is a beggar that is full of sores He laid at the gate a Beggar at that time was considered one of the most deplorable and despicable people on the face of the earth if somebody's seen a beggar they were just like trash and In that time especially with the Pharisees they seen when Jesus was telling him the story He was exposing their heart Because to the Pharisee a beggar full of sores Who laid at the gate and dogs came and licked his sores was the most hideous Deplorable thing that they can think of it disgusted them and Jesus was exposing their heart to the hatred that they do They have for those who they see as below them and that's the reason why Jesus exposes this and then tells them the Potential consequences of living a lifestyle like that The word beggar in the Greek means wretched or it means afflicted destitute of wealth and the Bible describes that he's full of sores now I was gonna show a picture of the sores that this man had I Probably would have never been asked to teach again horrendous all suric Open gaping sores That filled this man's body and his only Thing he had was a desire to be fed and dogs came and licked his sores That sounds pretty disgusting Jesus described the misery of this beggar in these strong nauseating details His desire to be fed was a yearning a strong desire that I Don't know if you guys ever been really really hungry But or you've had a strong desire to do something and you're not able to get that and This is what Jesus is describing here on this on this poor man You see such a description of a man was hideous and deplorable in the side of the Pharisees and Jesus was exposing their hearts We see in verse 22 and so it was that the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom The rich man also died and was buried Being in torments in Hades He lifted up his eyes and Saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom This is where it starts getting crazy There's an afterlife and Jesus once again is spends time He doesn't spend a whole lot of time describing Lazarus's situation He spends most of his time in this passage looking at the rich man's situation Once again, Jesus speaks more and warns more about hell than he does about the kingdom of heaven and Listen to what Jesus tell in what we see here. We see that both die Rather we're rich or whether we're poor or whether we're in the middle. We're all gonna die Hate to rain on your parade you guys Regardless of being rich with all the riches in the world and being poor who has nothing there's one thing in common They both die and the truth is One day, I'm gonna die One day you're gonna die If the rapture doesn't happen one day, we will face Jesus and experience the afterlife one day. We will live eternally Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27 says as it is pointed for man to die once but after this the judgment It's interesting to point out that Lazarus didn't even have an honor of burial in his life Yet he was carried by the angels To Abraham's bosom The rich man had the honor of a burial, but there was no angelic escort or pleasant destination Matthew 8 Matthew chapter 8 verse 11 says and I say to you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven So it would seem obvious that when the beggar was carried by the angels It was his soul or his spirit that was carried. It wasn't his body We understand that The same true of the rich man. It wasn't that he was That his that his soul was buried it was his body that was buried But it was his soul and his spirit that was sent to this place that we're gonna look at according to verse 25 Excuse me. Let me back up first 23 says in being in torments. Oh, let me back up. Let me back up I'm skipping some stuff here Abraham's bosom What is Abraham's bosom? Well, we don't have the time to really go into what Abraham's bosom is There's some debate in the church of where or what it is Just know here that Jesus is referring to a place of comfort And we don't have time to go into the details of and the scriptures and all that to go back and forth But just know that he's distinguishing two places And in here what he's distinguishing is a place of comfort and a place of honor because remember when John The apostle John was with Jesus. He would sit in Jesus's bosom Like a place of honor and so we see Abraham doing the same thing as it's just excuse me The rich man doing the same thing as he said that he is an Abraham's bosom So once again, we don't have the time to really debate like or discuss the different views on this Just know that Jesus is illustrating two separate places and that the rich the poor man The beggar Lazarus is now in this place of comfort and then the rich man It says in verse 23 and being in torments Says here being in torments. He lifted up his eyes and saw Father Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom being in torments The words plural It's an interesting word. It has a few meanings to it one meaning it comes from a a I pass my notes up it comes from a From a rock It's plural for the Greek words basanos and the The I the word that the meaning that Jesus is giving here. It has dual meaning the original Meaning of this word is it's a silicon based stone, which is called a touchstone And what this touchstone would do it would test the metals or the purity of silver and gold When this Lydian stone was under extensive intense torture It's true color would be revealed in the middle of that stone Jesus is using this illustration the the other The other idea of it is that it's rubbed or Exposed to extreme torture almost like being tortured by interrogation and so this word also denotes a meaning of being in a torture rack and Your body being slowly pulled apart Where your ligaments and your cart ledges and all your joints are slowly dislocated And you can hear the pop and It slowly pulls you apart and you're being under extreme torment as the true identity of yourself comes out and what is this and what is that is That we There was a chance There was a chance that the thing that's going to be tormenting enough Besides what we're looking at here is the idea that we had an opportunity To accept Jesus while living on this life living on this earth We had the opportunity to give our hearts over to him and now the haunting tormenting thought of Eternity of why didn't I accept Jesus Christ when I had the chance will be plain over and over and over in our Minds as our bodies feel like they're being stretched stretched and stretched The words plural here being in torments More than one thing, you know, it's interesting to point out is that while this man's an excruciating torment We see in verse 23 that this man lifted up his eyes What does that tell us is that wherever this place Hades is called? He can see Now going back to what Hades is is A place where the dead live it's a place of where The they call it the grave. It's also called Sheol in the Greek But in Hebrews and excuse me in in Hebrew. It's called Sheol in the Greek. It's called Hades and It's a place that was considered the place of the dead It was a place of punishment for the wicked It was a term used for the unseen realm of the dead Now the location of Hades There's a lot of theories of where Hades is actually Hades is that But some people believe that Hades is in the middle of the earth. We don't know that we haven't been dead And we'd never come back. We don't know but we know this That it's a place of Undescribable torment Who cares where it's at I just want to stay away from it as far as I can But the fact is is that there is a place that is real That is a place of torments Awaiting those who literally step over Jesus in this lifetime and say I don't need it. I Don't need you Regardless of location. It's a horrible place a place of torments Isaiah 38 13 says for she all cannot thank you death cannot praise you those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your truth so now we have a clear picture of Two people when they die One is taken and carried by angels to a place of Comfort a place of rest a place of paradise the kingdom of heaven Then we have another man who is buried and he goes to the place of torment For all eternity Eternity I don't know if that resounds in your mind Eternity 50 years from now. It's not eternity a hundred years from now is not eternity Eternity is eternal And we both have The option to where we're gonna spend eternity We put our hope and trust in Jesus Christ We have not only heaven. We have eternity with our Savior We put our trust and hope in riches and in wealth and live for myself We will have eternity in torments people say oh when I go to Hell I'm gonna party with my friends. Well, the Bible doesn't sound like a big party here So when this guy dies he he lifts up his eyes He's able to see and in verse 23 He says that he saw Abraham in a for-off in Lazarus and he cried and said so he's able to express emotion And he's able to speak in this place of torments And he says father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in Water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame not only is he in torments, but now he's tormented also in this flame It's interesting to point out. How did he know who father Abraham was? Father Abraham was Years prior to this they didn't have Instagram they didn't have Facebook or snapchat You're me and father Abraham. They didn't have that How did he know who Abraham was? Because in the realm of the spiritual world in our afterlife we will have that knowledge and The thing that will haunt this man for eternity is the idea that he had a chance to repent He cried and said There's emotion He's able to speak. I think a lot of times we think of hell we think of Hades We think oh it's just gonna be this you know this idea No, we have no idea of what is going on here and Jesus is telling us that we're aware That this man is aware of where he's at Because look at what he says in he says that you send Lazarus down that he says father Abraham have mercy on me You know, it's interesting to point out that Lazarus wasn't saved by his poverty Anymore that we should think that the rich man was condemned by his wealth Lazarus obviously it must have had a true relationship with our God and The rich man did not and so we see When he says father mercy father Abraham in verse 24 have mercy on me the rich man Obviously was a descendant of Abraham and the great father faith didn't disown him But yet having Abraham as his father was not escape not able wasn't enough to escape The torment in his life to come Now the rich man was the beggar pleading with Abraham Again, the rich man was not in torment because he was rich He was in torment because he served himself and rejected God He says send Lazarus down that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for him tormented in this flame What I did something interesting today is I went and filled up a sink of water and I dipped my finger in there and I had about five or six drops that came from that What's interesting to point out is that this man had the the need of the one of the most basic Simplest things that we take for granted every day is every day we can go and get a drink of water But this man was begging Abraham that he may send Lazarus down Just to touch the tip of his finger on his tongue because he's tormented in this flame Once again, I dip my finger and I got about five drops six if I shook it and The most and I started thinking the most basic need That we have Will be a need that this man will desire for eternity a drink of water a drink of water My kids brush your teeth and leave the water on it's all this water is coming out. I'm like Man the rich man in hell would love that water Just think about it the most basic need of water Is something this man is desiring for it's interesting in the Greek when this is that Lazarus desired the crumbs from the table The same thing is that the rich man asked Lazarus or Abraham to send Lazarus It's the same idea. There was that deep yearning It's also interesting to point out that the rich man is still looking down as to Lazarus and and still telling him to Send Lazarus Send Lazarus, why didn't he ask Abraham? Because he still sees Lazarus as that poor beggar and that tells us something that tells us that when we're in hell The only person we'll still think about and only find ourselves important is ourselves And this is an illustration of what this rich man was doing to add to his torments He is also tormented in a flame. What type of torment takes place in a flame? Burning So not only is this man being felt like he's being stretched and That he is constantly Tormented as interrogative like why didn't you accept Jesus? He's also in a flame burning And he's asking for some water This man literally is burning alive and has a physical thirst that will never be quenched That's mind-boggling Listen to what Jesus warns about in Mark chapter 9 verses 43 to 48 if your hand causes you to sin Cut it off. It's better for you to enter life maimed rather than having two hands To go to hell into the fire that will never be quenched Where the where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched And if your foot causes you to sin cut it off It is better for you to enter life maimed rather than having two feet to be cast into hell and to the fire That should never be quenched where the worm never dies does not die and the fire is not quenched And if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out It's better for you to enter the kingdom with one eye than having two eyes to be cast in the lake of fire or To cast into hell fire where their worm Never does not die and the fire is not quenched We look at verse 25. He says but Abraham The rich man is starting to argue. He's telling sin Lazarus down and he's like no He says in verse 25 is but Abraham said son remember that in your lifetime you received good things and Likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted and you are tormented Through his earthly life the rich men enjoyed all the good things in life Yet he did not share them or use them to prepare for his life to come You know what brother and I were having lunch the other day and he were discussing this this message and and I was telling him I'll probably never be asked to teach after this message again And we were just kind of joking around and he said something interesting He says, you know when we had our last floods and our last storms and where the fire came and just ravaged everything People were warned about the storms that were coming and people started to prepare People started filling up sandbags and they started digging and they started preparing for the big storm That was to come and it's interesting that we don't understand that there's a storm headed our way for those who Do not put their trust and Jesus Christ a storm that will have eternal consequences But for the believer who have their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, we have eternity in our sight We see here that when in In Jesus is saying but Abraham said in verse 25 That in verse 26 he Abraham's explaining to the rich man that there's this great golf That's fixed in between us. Listen what he says. He says besides this Between us and you there is a great golf fixed That's an interesting word fixed that means it's there Who knows where it's at? I don't know, but we know it's a location that it's fixed It's there There was a great golf between their destinies were fixed for all time and we remember that That this happened to the rich man's soul It wasn't his body because his body was buried But his soul ceased to exist or suspend a lot of people think that this is spiritual sleep Or purgatory. Let's make it clear that this is neither That this place yes, it is an intermediate place to be And later on I'll explain why but this is a real place and in verse 27 as Abraham is telling the rich man that I can't send Lazarus over there to touch your tongue I can't do anything. There's this great divide between us and And we cannot pass that and then the rich man now begins to think outside of himself And he says then he said I beg you therefore in verse 27 Father that you would send him to my father's house. Once again, he's putting commands on sending Lazarus But he's now thinking of his loved ones in This place of torment You will think You will think You'll think about your loved ones. You will think about the things that you've done in the past. You will think for eternity How much you wish you could have come back just to accept Jesus one time? He goes for in verse 28 for I have five brothers that he may testify to them that Less that they'd also come to this place of torment. So now he has a concern for his family Obviously the rich man remembered and cared about his relatives even when he passed from earth to the life to come His memory was not wiped clean or given new consciousness he remembered and When he says in verse 28 that they come to this place of torment Now now the rich man cares about others not coming to this place He lived life utterly unconcerned of this either for himself or others And if he himself can go to his brothers he would but it seemed to understand that this was also Impossible so much that he didn't even ask that you send me he says send Lazarus The mention of the five brothers is the first indication that the rich man thought about anybody else but himself Unfortunately his concern for others came at a time where it was too late verse 29 Abraham responds and Said to him they have Moses and the prophets and let them hear them And then in verse 30 The rich man begins to argue says no father Abraham if one goes from the dead they will repent But he said to them if they do not hear Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded for one rise from the dead Abraham pointed out that the brothers had everything necessary for them to have a relationship with the Lord They had the law on the prophets And guess what we have today We have the word We have Jesus We have a relationship with Christ The rich man he objected immediately knowing that his family didn't take Moses and the prophets seriously He desperately hoped that if one came from the dead that it would be more convincing than the actual word of God Yet it would not be more convincing because they would not believe because God's word Neither were they be persuaded though one rise from the dead the rich man knew what his brothers must do and he did not do repent He hoped that a spectacular appearance of the dead would shake his brothers up to repent But it takes more than that it takes God's word The rich man wasn't lost because he was rich he was lost because he didn't listen to the law and to the prophets Many also will be lost for the same reason Today we have people living for themselves We have people that are lost for the same reason We have even those who profess to be Christians who attend church on a regular basis who read their Bible on a regular basis profess the same thing but inside they are lost as this man is They are professing to be Christians who are not listening to the Word of God or living according to the Word of God James 1 chapter 22 excuse me James chapter 1 23 to 24 says but be doers of the Word and not hearers only deceiving yourselves For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer. He is like the man Who observes himself goes away and immediately forgets what kind of man he was For eternity this rich man will experience unthinkable unexpressible torment Eternity But what I what do I think is the most tormenting thing that this rich man will experience? Is that he also had a chance to accept the Lord? He also had a chance If this rich man had one second to come back and repent he would So the challenge I want to give tonight is Are we living our lives for Jesus? Or do we have loved ones that? That are not living for Christ see as believers we can look forward to eternity with Jesus in heaven with undescribable joy And on the same hand a life that's not lived for Jesus Will be an eternity in a hell also Indescribable one in day every one of us will stand before our King every one of us one day we will And how we live our lives today will determine our outcome and where we will spend eternity Faith in Jesus will give us heaven and our King faith in ourselves will lead us to this place of torments Listen to what revelation 1411 says and the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever and they have rest They have no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image and whoever receives a mark in his name What does that mean that means that one time in their life their lifetime here on earth? They rejected Jesus they lived for themselves when you're not worshiping Jesus you're worshiping the beast one thing is clear Hades at this moment is Filled with people who've died and have lived a life similar to this man who rejected Jesus Hades is full and they find themselves in this place Until the day that they'll be ushered from this place of torment to a place of judgment the great white throne judgment that's Described in Revelation chapter 20 and from that great white throne judgment will be cast in the lake of fire for all Eternity, you know, it's interesting Once again that we literally have to walk over Jesus To find ourselves in an eternal hell, you know, it's also interesting is that Jesus shared this story 2000 years ago The mind-blowing thing about this whole thing is that 2000 years later today today May 23rd 2018 the man is still in the same place Experiencing the same thing that Jesus is describing. How long ago was that? He's still there and he's waiting There will be a time where he will be ushered into the presence of the Lord and will have to give an account to why He rejected Christ known as the great white throne judgment and I'll close with this passage Revelation chapter 20 verses 11 through 15 then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and There was found no place for them and I saw the dead small and great standing before God and books were opened Another book was open Which is the book of life and the dead were judged according to their works by the things that were written in these books the sea gave up the dead who were in it and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who are in them and they were judged each one according to his works Then death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire This is the second death Anyone found not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire Where we live today and how we live today will have eternal consequences or Good or bad to where we will spend eternity Are you living your life today for Jesus Christ or have you allowed self? Have you allowed other things to get into the way or now you're living for yourself? It's time to examine our hearts Time is getting near The time is what I believe we're in the last days Just look around us	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZRVSeO7PAc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Here's how you can analyze that one scene three. The scene opens in the council chamber and we can see that the Duke and Senators are having an emergency meeting about new developments in Cyprus. Although there are conflicting reports, all the men at the meeting agree that the Ottoman Empire has sent a large Turkish fleet of ships to attack and take over Cyprus. Remember Cyprus was part of Venice's territory therefore their meeting to decide how to defend their territory. As I discussed in these developments, the stage directions show Brabantio Othello, Iago Rodrigo, as well as officers entering. The Duke of Venice speaks using this adjective as well as a zero to show that he's really relieved to see Othello. He is confident that Othello as a great general will help in the defense of Cyprus against the Ottoman Empire. Before Othello can reply, Brabantio butts in and he speaks using hyperbole to say that he's come to the Duke because he has something that's so grievous and so terrible he needs to talk to him about. Brabantio is dramatic and theatrical because he speaks in these exclamatory sentences saying that his troubles lie with his daughter Desdemona. He speaks using the rule of three to say that Desdemona has been stolen from him because somebody has cast her under a terrible spell. The Duke supports Brabantio and he speaks using alliteration to agree that which craft and casting spells is a capital offense is a capital crime in Venice and it needs to be punished. Brabantio then speaks using Cesaro to accuse Othello of practicing witchcraft against Desdemona. We can see here that he doesn't even use Othello's name. He calls him a maul. We can see he's incredibly racist against Othello. When the Duke asks Othello to defend himself, Othello speaks using Imitant Pentameter and we can see that he's an incredibly skilled speaker who is able to hold his own against this entire Senate. He is not intimidated. Othello then admits that he and Desdemona eloped. They married without getting Brabantio's agreement and his blessing. Yet Othello also speaks using alliteration to remind them of his valuable services as a general. Because of Othello, Venice has managed to win several wars and he's very important to the state. Othello then speaks using repetition of this pronoun to tell the Senate that they should go and fetch Desdemona so that she can come and speak for herself in front of Brabantio. Othello then speaks using parallelism to say that Desdemona fell for him because of how brave and valiant he was as a general and he fell for her because she always used to listen to his stories and seemed to take a particular interest in him. Desdemona finally arrives and she speaks using Cesaro to tell her father Brabantio that even if she loves him, her duty is now to Othello who she loves more. After Brabantio accepts Desdemona's wish, the Duke of Venice tells Othello he must hurry to Cyprus to go and fight the Turks. Desdemona then speaks in this hyperbole to say that as she is Othello's wife she should go with him to Cyprus. As Brabantio leaves, he tells Othello this, in other words he plants doubts in Othello's mind about Desdemona being a good person.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz-mfLcsfLE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Today, most radiation burns are caused by doctors giving radiation treatments for cancer. This can cause severe, painful, scarring skin reactions that can interfere with the therapy, yet sadly we are yet to come up with good prophylactic skin treatment measures to prevent this radiation-induced skin toxicity. Enter aloe vera gel, used on skin burns for centuries. So a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial was performed aloe vera gel versus a placebo gel, and no benefit was found. After the completion of the study, though, many involved clinicians felt that the patients participating in the trial had less skin inflammation than normal across the board, suggesting that maybe the placebo gel was helping too, so to their credit they actually ran a second experiment to see if aloe was better than nothing. And once again, aloe peered have no effect at all. In both trials, the severity scores were virtually identical, meaning aloe vera gel simply didn't work. What about an even larger trial? Hundreds of patients randomized to aloe vera gel, or just plain skin lotion, not only during the radiation treatments, but extending for two weeks afterwards, the skin lotion placebo worked even better in terms of reducing skin peeling and pain, and so yet again, aloe failed. And indeed, if you do a systematic review of all such studies, there's simply no evidence suggesting aloe is helpful. Head and neck cancer patients suffer the additional burden of radiation damage to the lining of their mouth and throat, and aloe didn't seem to help with that either. OK, so aloe may not help with cancer treatment, but how about helping with the cancer itself? In a petri dish, aloe inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells, cervical cancer cells, and lung cancer cells. So is aloe vera a natural cancer soother? Unfortunately, in vitropotency, meaning like petri dish studies, often fail to translate to the clinic because the compounds aren't bioavailable enough to build up to test tube levels within the tumor in the body. So while some studies suggest an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells in vitro, evidence from clinical trials is currently lacking. Until 1998, 50 patients with advanced untreatable cancer were treated with melatonin, which they thought might boost anti-cancer immunity, or melatonin with about 20 drops of an aloe extract twice a day, which they made by soaking one part aloe leaves to nine part 40-proof alcohol. And the aloe group appeared to do better, nearly twice as likely to either have a partial response or early some stabilization, and the most important outcome, improved survival. Here's the survival curve. So for example, six months out, 80% of the aloe group were still alive. Whereas more than half of the non-aloe group were dead. The researchers conclude that melatonin and aloe may be recommended in patients with very advanced untreatable cancers, since it didn't seem to cause any bad side effects and seemed to help. We don't know if the aloe would help on its own, though, and a subsequent study by the same group muddied the waters further by adding a third component to tincture of myrrh as well. But the main problem with these studies is that they weren't randomized. So if sicker patients were intentionally or unintentionally placed in the non-aloe control group, that could explain the apparent aloe benefit. The problem is there's never been any randomized studies of aloe for advanced cancers until now, or at least 2009, which we'll cover next.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDmGKdZ2X0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Now, SPDK is planning to support more PCIe devices based on vfio-user. In this session, we will introduce the virtio PCIe abstraction layer base on vfio-user, and then the virtio-blk and virtio-scsi device emulations based on the common virtio PCIe abstraction layer. We will provide a comparison between SPDK vhost-user solution and the vfio-user virtio-blk/scsi solution, including the performance, thread modeling and implementation differences. We’ll wrap up by showing some use cases, performance data, and future development plans.	null	2022-10-08T19:49:15	2024-02-05T08:13:57	1,289	vz2kbCrUZf0	Hello, everyone. My name is Charm Liu. I'm a cloud software engineer from Intel. Today, my colleague Xiaodong Liu and I will deliver this topic together. The title of this presentation is what-how device emulation in SBDK based on VFR user protocol. Here is today's agenda. We will give a brief introduction on VFR user components. Second, we will introduce the implementation of the emulator what-how device based on the third-party Libre VFR user library. And then we will compare the performance numbers of VFR user versus VHOS user in one single VM. Finally, we will list our future development plans and purchase links mentioned in this presentation. Okay, let's go through the first part. First, let me give a brief introduction on what VFR user is. VFR user is a protocol that allows a device to be emulated in a separate process outside of a VMM. The VFR user specification is largely based on Linux VFR-Aoyakto interface to implement them as messages to be sent over Unix domain socket. Here, VMM includes Cloud Hubvisor and Kimu. And SBDK also includes full support of VFR user client. The second part is VFR user server, which is used to emulate PCI device in a separate process. Then let's see VFR user client support in SBDK. The diagrams in the right give a brief view of it. We have a VFR user PCI device abstraction library which provides PCI device access APIs in the low level. This library accepts a Unix domain socket path addressed as input parameter and associated with a PCI device. Then, VFR and VMM client library provide support in dependent abstractions. Then we can add a new VFR user transport layer which uses two forward PCI bar accesses from VTR library to remote target via VFR user client PCI device access APIs. Based on the client VTR library, SBDK provide common block device layer on it. The user can test block device over specified Unix domain socket address. Currently, the device type can be VTR block, VTR SCSI or VME devices. At last, the users can use VFR user client to build their own applications. Then let's see the device emulation support in the server side. Device emulation in server side is based on third party library, we call it VFR user. In last year's QVM forum, we already presented the emulation of MMM device based on VFR user library. In this presentation, we will demo the emulation of VTR devices. The emulated VTR device library will response PCI bar accesses messages from the client side. The client could be VMM or SBDK client and it will process V-rins. Then on top of the emulated VTR device library, we provide VTR block and SCSI device emulation. They will response device configuration accesses based on VTR block and SCSI specification. And paste the block or SCSI request from the V-rins. And finally, this block or SCSI request will be processed via the block device layer APIs in SBDK as offload engine. Okay, since both VFR user and V-host user can provide VTR block and SCSI device emulation and accesses. So what's the common and difference between the two solutions? Let's see from the client side. SBDK VTR library has a very good abstraction layer. So the client side library can support both VFR user and V-host user as a communication channel with remote emulation processes. And you can write it inside VMM which act as a pulling mode driver via the PCI transport. Let's see from the server side view. At least a table below. The thread model is same for V-host user and VFR user. For VTR support currently, V-host SCSI cannot support the packed V-rin. This is one difference. And both packed V-rin and split V-rin are supported for VTR block in VFR user solution and in the V-host solution. For the live migration part, multi-sense and interrupt mode features are only supported in V-host user solution now. All these features are in development plan now for VFR user. Okay, well here since the V-host user and VFR user had too much in common, right? And V-host user can cover all the usage scenarios. People may ask why VFR user is still developed, right? One reason is to simplify the development and maintenance effort in client and server side for device emulation. For the client side, users can use one VFR user client driver to connect to remote device emulation process. The device types could be hotel devices or NVMe devices or even NIC devices. These are VFR user client driver support in CloudHavvisor and SPDG2. And the upstreaming of the VFR user client driver in T-MU is work in progress now. And another reason is a unified live migration framework could be possible. For example, developers don't need to design another software framework to enable NVMe device. At last, for the V-host user solution, it is designed only for hotel devices. It cannot cover NVMe device, but the VFR user model can cover hotel devices and the NVMe devices, right? And at last, compared with V-host user, the PCI device emulation is also in remote process, which makes the VFR user client in NVMe is much thinner than V-host user. I will talk this a bit more in the implementation slides later. Okay, let's see the detailed implementation of the emulated V-host block device and SCSI device in SBDK. As we already know, VFR user need to emulate PCI devices in the remote process. So VFR user server process needs to define V-host device live out as the first step. First, we will define MSX capability to use region 1 as an MS Activo, and use region 2 as MSX painting bit array for those two areas will both result one page. Then, according to the V-host specification, we need to define window-specific capabilities for each V-host device configuration sections. Here, the first three sections are defined as MMI access areas. For client drivers with access to regions, they will be forwarded via the unit domain socket as the messages. And for the first part, notification area, we will support dual mode in practice. It's up to users' configuration to define this area, use memory map origin or not. If we define this area as the memory mapable area, then employee mode in the target is used. Then we need to set callback functions for each VFR origin. For the most important VFR origin 4, this is mapped to PCI bar 4 in practice. The callback function is called with offset, let's rewrite flag. We will use the offset parameter to determine which VTR device configuration section. For example, if the offset is less than 4 kilobytes, it is used to access the VTR common configuration section. Based on the offset and the value, we will do features negotiation in the server-side. First, then map the VTR queues in the server-side and start the device finally. Currently, VTR block and SCSI devices are added in SBDQ, but we provide the common abstract layer to allow users and other types of VTR devices. Another important VTR device configuration section is device-specific configuration area. This section is device-type-specific. For example, if for the VTR block device, capacity and block size attributes are stored in this section, and for VTR SCSI device, number of queues attribute is stored in this section. Here is the thread model in SBDQ for VTR SCSI. VTR block uses the same one. Users need to specify the CPU core mask when starting a VTR SCSI device. Then an accept portal is started to listen to common socket connections. When Kimmel connects to the unit's domain socket, the accept portal will start a socket message portal on the same thread. After the connection is created, we can unregister the accept portal as an optimization. Currently, this is not implemented now. The socket message portal will receive all socket messages from the Kimmel, then deliver them via the VFR region access callback functions based on the offset and the region. When we start the device in the third side, we will start a ring puller finally to pull all the V-rings. Actually, that is the VTR puller tool in the same thread to process block R request. After we start the ring puller to process our command center from VM or VFR user client, then we need to do the actual command processing for the VTR block device. The command set defined in VTR block specification is very limited. All of them are supported. SPDK block layer already has different block APIs to support them. For the VTR SCSI device, as we know SCSI is a very large industry specifically. Fortunately, SPDK already has SCSI library which provides a monetary SPC and SPC command support. And we use this library in the SCSI target. So here we can still reuse this library to process SCSI command in the V-rings. Finally, there is a common work that can translate a V-ring descriptor into our vectors and translate guest physical memory to host the virtual memory. These features are common both for VHOS user and VFR user. We can do them together in future. Now, let's start the performance section from the implementation and thread model. VFR user and VHOS user for VTR devices are much in common. Here we still get some performance data as a comparison for audience as reference. In this test, we start one VM with two VTR block controllers. One block controller is provided by VFR user. The other one is provided by VHOS user. Inside the target, we use one Intel P5800 OpenDrile as the storage backend. It was split into two logical parts. One for the VHOS controller, the other one for the VFR user controller. We also use the four world queues in both client and server side. The size of each queue is 128. Also, the packed V-ring feature is enabled. We run FL inside the VM. Here is the FL parameters in VM. The difference between different running case is the ILO queue depth. It is started from 1 to 16. This is our test case 1. It shows the test result for all bulk configurations in VM and in SPDK from ILO queue depth 1 to 16. The performance number is almost same for the two solutions. From previous slides, we know that two additional polys are used in VFR user solution. But from the performance number of test case 1, we don't see the impact of the two polys. And we test another test case in test case 2. We replace the physical SSD with two now loopback block devices. The purpose is to test KVM efficiency and visualization over height. All other parameters are same with parameter of test case 1, except ILO queue depth and read-write mode. Read-write is used instead of read-write. We can see even using here queue depth, the two solutions are still almost same. The two additional polys almost have no impact to the result. The maximum LPS 1 host core can provide is limited by CPU capability. Here is another different test case. Its performance data are collected using SPDK VTR client. In server side, using same configuration as test case 2, that two now type BDIOs are created. One is exported by VFR user. One is exported by VHOS user. SPDK VTR client library is same for VHOS user and VFR user transpose. These two different parameters are applied to be doubt proof on each type of the VHOS devices. When running in this scenario, both client and server are running in polling mode. From the table, the performance number is still almost same. Okay, let's give a summary of this presentation. As we already mentioned in previous slides, SPDK VTR client library can be used both for VHOS user and VFR user. But in server side, currently we have two independent implementations for VHOS user. One is for VHOS user, keymail emulator, PCI device part, and SPDK mainly do the V-ring processing part. Include the DQ in queue processing and translate the descriptors to our vectors. And also for the V-ring processing part, they are most same for VHOS user and VFR user. They will abstract this part into a common library in the future. Another feature is interrupt mode support. In the thread modeling page, we said VFR user had two additional pullers, which can be optimized. Although we don't see performance drop with these two pullers. But still we can optimize the pullers into interrupt mode after starting device or enable the interrupt mode with all pullers. This is useful when running multiple VAMPs in one single CPU core. Here are all the patches used in this presentation. Some of the patches are still under code review in SPDK. And the VFR user client driver is also under review in keymail. There are some code already in the main branch for the VFR user client side. CLUB, HAVAVAD, and SPDK already have full support of it. That's all for today's presentation.

We are going to start by opening STM32Q IDE and create a new project. To do so, you can simply click on File, New, STM32 project, go on the Board Selector tab, and search for BL475, select the first board, click Next, give a project name, finish here, and when prompted to initialize all the peripherals with the default mode, select No to avoid generating unused code. We will be configuring an I2C interface to communicate with the accelerometer and a UART interface for the basic logging. We are going to start by adding the accelerometer driver from the XCube MEMS components. To do so, we need to open the software pack selector in the Pinout configuration, apply the board part filter, and under the MEMS package, select the LSM6DSL as I2C. We are back to the main interface and now we need to configure the I2C peripheral that is under Connectivity. We are going to select I2C2 and configure it as I2C. Here we need to select the I2C mode and configure it as Fast mode. So it's going to work at 400kHz, and in the GPIO settings we should check that PB10 and PB11 are configured as I2C. We actually need one more pin to interface the sensor and receive the Intrap1 signal. You can check out the IUT node user manual for the schematics and I2C pinout and the Intrap1 signal from the accelerometer. As you can see in the schematic, we need to configure PD11. So under GPIO, we search for PD11 and we need to make sure that it's configured as external Intrap mode with rising edge. And then under NVIC, we need to make sure that the corresponding Intrap is enabled here and it should be already done. Now we need to configure the XCube MEMS1 package. So we are going to need to expand the software pack here, select the ST Microrotronix XCube MEMS1, enable the package and on the platform settings, select I2C2. The last peripheral that we are going to use is the Usart1. Select Usart1 under the connectivity interface, enable the asynchronous mode. If not already configured, set the BodeRate to 115200 here. And then under the GPIO settings, make sure that PB6 and PB7 are associated with the UART1. This UART will be used to send log messages to the PC. The MCU configuration is now complete and you can generate the code either by saving your project or by clicking Project Generate Code. All the code needed for the peripherals configuration has been generated. Now it's time to add our application code. To facilitate this step, we'll copy the code directly from the wiki page. In the Project Explorer panel, double-click on core-source-main.c to open the code editor for the user application code. The first section to be added is the Private Includes. Here we have three different files and are the header files for the accelerometer, the I2C bus and the SDIO used for the print-def output. Simply copy this code here. The second part is the Private Variable section and it's here. We can go back to the wiki page and copy these two lines. Here we have the definition of a structure for the motion sensor and that already received variable that is used to notify when new data is available. Copy here. Now we're going to copy the memc init function definition and go back. We're going to copy the actual function. This function has to be copied in the user code section 4. Go back here and use it after all the code generated by the tool here. This function is used to configure the accelerometer for a 26 Hz sample rate plus or minus 4G range and an intrap for the data radius. Now we need to copy the callback that's used when we receive an intrap from the sensor and this function also goes inside the code begin4. Then we're going to redefine the write. This is done in order to be able to use the print-def. Now we're going to copy a new definition of the error handler to have a toggle LED in case of errors. At this point we can go back to the main and start copying application code in the main. First we need to initialize the variable and initialize the sensor. It's done in the main here. And then in the while loop we implement a simple loop that waits for data to be available and then send data over UART to the PC. At this point we can simply project, compile. Here we have zero errors, zero warning, so we are ready to download and debug the project. I already have a board connected to the PC so I can simply download the binary by clicking run, run as, STM32 application. Now QBID is going to download the binary into the board. Here now it's done. Now once done I can simply open TerraTerm and connect to the STLINK virtual comport. Make sure that the serial part is set to 1500,200. And here we can see the data from the accelerometer. Now that we are done with the code we can go back to the weak page for a few remarks. First to capture data you can copy paste the serial output into a CSV text file or you can use the following command on a Linux machine. In the weak page you can also find a Python script that can be used to plot data. Here you can see the output. The CSV file can be manually edited for data cleanup and once you are satisfied with the capture that can be used for machine learning model training.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VznrX-Uyv3U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCym3cnknrqoK4SGhG0p7Uqg	Luc Van den Brande: MFF and the EU budget	Luc Van den Brande is on the spot. TheChairman of the Flemish-European Liaison Agency shares his views on how to create a fair and decent EU budget, in this interview for the EPP Group in the CoR.	[ "Luc Van den Brande", "Committee of the Regions", "European People's Party", "EPP", "MFF", "Budget", "European Union", "interview", "Flanders", "FLEVA", "region", "CD&V" ]	2016-05-23T13:54:37	2024-02-05T15:58:07	136	Vz71pUrQEdo	Het gaat over de meerjarige financiële bepalingen en het budget van de Europese Unie en er is voorzien om een review en tussen tijds check te doen hoe ver we staan met het budget en hoe we het verder kunnen uitvoeren. We weten dat ongeveer 70 tot 75% van al wat er gebeurt in de Unie of veel gedaan wordt door lokale gemeenschappen en regio's of tenminste in shared management gebeurt. Dat wil dus zeggen dat de steden, de gemeenten en de regio's zijn direct betrokken om een aantal dingen te doen in belang van de burgers van de Europianen. En dus is het logisch dat het van heel groot belang is hoe het budget kan gehouden worden, hoe men ingaat op nieuwe uitdagingen of voldoende middelen zijn of niet. En dat heeft natuurlijk een direct effect op het dagelijks leven van de mensen in hun gemeente en of hun regio. We hebben vanuit Vlaanderen altijd ons erg Europees opgesteld omdat we geloven dat je een aantal dingen kan je alleen doen, maar als het gaat over milieu, als het gaat over de economie, de jobcreatie, daar hebben we alle belang bij om het samen te doen. En dus in het verlengde van het eerste rapport dat ik gemaakt heb over het Europees budget twee jaar geleden, denk ik dat het belangrijk was om samen met de rapporteurs van het Europees Parlement samen met de Raad te bekijken hoe we een eerlijk goed budget maken en dat is natuurlijk belangrijk voor alle regio's maar ook voor Vlaanderen.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz71pUrQEdo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

He's going in. If the Dodds fall off, he can sleep us. Sleep us? Oh, Will's back off cooldown! Big Will! Oh, no. That might be it for Hydra! He's the damage to finish him out. Little, uh, Tuber coming out from Bob goes back up to 40% life. But look how much mana he has! Plus the name coming out! Big Shadler! Oh, it's gonna be close here on the finish. There's a lip and a drain life. Fear being casted. If that lands, it's all but over. Finish in the clutch! Sheepshot lands on Miss Rage! No way! Damage! Oh, my gosh! Take him out! It's not over! What the f***, how are they not dead?! He's mana potting. He's got to get Moonfire up, Insects warm. He's got the Dodds rolling. Man, Luxia's cutting it out. There's the interface! He's getting mana back! What happened? Luxia fled from the duel. Luxia fled from the duel. You idiot! Why would you flee?! Why would you flee?! You had it! I'm good to see you guys. We're finally here. I'm here with Zaryu. I'm here with Soda Poppin' for the OTK Starforge Hardcore Mont-Garras Tournament. How do you guys feel, dude? Are you guys excited? Bro, I feel like it's Christmas morning. I couldn't sleep. I wake up and I'm like, I just can't wait to see these duels authentically just nerding out. Man, I can't wait to see it. A lot of us have been grinding WoW, so went to bed. I tried to go to bed early. I couldn't, so I took a sleeping pill to make sure I could sleep and be up in time bright and early for this. We are here. The sun is coming up. It is crazy, and I'm still on a sleeping pill, but hopefully it will wear off. One of my favorite things about this entire tournament, though, is it's not about winning the duel necessarily. It's about not dying for a month. Getting pre-vis and showing up on Day of Alive, because at the end of the day, it's still a hardcore tournament. We've done hardcore tournaments in the past of leveling challenges, like level to 20 in New Wailing Caverns or whatever. Part of the tournament is not dying for a month, right? That's not easy, by any means. Absolutely. There are so many different ways to die, which we've seen. I think I've played hardcore by now. Hopefully not the hard way, but I've learned there are so many ways to die. There's only one way to learn it, man. You just don't think about it, man. It's not that you don't think about it, it's that your brain turns off. There's so much down time and just relaxing. You're on a griffin, you're AFK, you come back, and it's boom. Everything ramps up so quickly. The heart gets running, and then you make mistakes. I'm curious to see how the nerves are for these. I guess these aren't going to be Montgarat duels today, are they? These are normal duels. These are the characters before the finals tomorrow, right? Tomorrow, blood is shed, lives will be lost tomorrow, and I cannot wait. Today, we find out who is even worthy of stepping into the battlefield. Because this is an open tournament, anybody can join. I'm excited because today, I mean, dare I say, I might actually be more excited about today than tomorrow. Today is kind of like watching college football over the NFL, right? We have a lot of stupid bad players that manage to step in, and I cannot wait to see their mistakes. They're going to be going up against a lot of the big names, the big boys. There's probably a lot of sleeper agents out there that are super duper good. But we're going to have a lot of really shitty players that just say, you know what, I got nothing going on this month, let me give it a whirl. And I cannot wait to point out mistakes. What I really like about this Swiss bracket, and it's one of the reasons we decided on normal duels and not macarons is because each player is actually going to have five duels. So for example, if we did a normal kind of a singly limb or doubly limb style bracket, if first round Ziko got paired into like snuts, it's like, okay, if one of them dropped the game, they are out with this guys. Each player will have five duels. They're going to do a five times today. You're going to get one point for each win. And then the top point players of each class will be moving on to tomorrow for the Makara duel. So with this style bracket, we get to see really like the best players and they can really have five duels to show you that they are the best. And the other thing is, no, this is undiscovered territory. It's very rare, especially in a game like classic where there isn't a figured out meta. If you told me we're doing a basic dual tournament with generic dual rules, no health plots, et cetera, I can tell you what classes are supposed to win. I cannot tell you here. I have no idea. Some classes are at such a disadvantage, though, that they're screwed. But the best of each class will be walking away with money. So if you're playing the worst class, we don't know what it is yet. We'll figure it out today probably. You're playing the worst class. You can still win if you're the best at the worst class. So if we did Makara's now, it just be all fucked. We can't figure that kind of stuff out. So today is qualifiers. There's a there's a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot that's gone into this. So the way that we're doing this tournament, we think this is the best way. There's so much work that's been done. And I talked about this a little bit earlier, man, but I mean, we've done like peanuts. We've done basically nothing compared to the amount of time and effort and work that the staff, the volunteers, everybody behind the scenes. I mean, TIPS is basically coming out of retirement, you know, pulling back to the CDL days. I mean, you guys know if you're an old frog at this point, you remember the little classic 2019 dual league. So there's been a lot of work that's gone into this from these guys. And I cannot stress enough how thankful we are for just just how much time these guys have volunteered and how much time these guys have given up for it. So yeah, I mean, it's absolutely great, man. Every single other dual tournament that we've ever done or we've participated in, there's like it's just this like compendium of rules or it's like you can't do that. You can't use this ability. You can't. And well, to be fair, those rules are just like there is a what's the word, a decorum in dueling like you don't want to use health. Yeah, it's like it's like unspoken like unspoken rules. Yeah. And so those rules, we have a ton of rules, but it's like, it's not like we made those. That's just how wow has been raised. Right. And we just throw him in saying, hey, that is banned for this tournament too. Right. But not this also not like that's not how the game was designed. Right. People always talk about how like, oh, classic wow is unbalanced. Right. You know, this class sucks. That class can't do this. And then one of you go and you sit down and you're like, hey, like, OK, well, you can't do that. It's like, well, bro, that's not how they didn't build the game under the pretense that you can't do this and you can't do that. So let's go. Let's let's, you know, prison rules, just rat tactics, the whole nine yards, let the kids play to some extent. Right. They're to a certain extent, because there's certain things that like you could be, you can literally just spam petries and stall out a duel for like 10 hours, right? Hypothetically, right? You could spam. You could you could stall it out for a very long time. Like there's certain rules that we put in place that it's like, OK, there's too much, but we wanted to have this game be the most. Let the kids play the damn game. Let's play classic. Wow. Let's see what happens. There's never been a tournament like this before. Let's send it and just see how it goes. Because like you said, Zaryu, you look back to the old tournaments and it's like, oh, everybody talks about overpowered warlocks or this and that and warlocks keep winning. Right. But then what are all these rules that are like warriors? For example, everybody says warrior sucks. Warriors get cocked so hard. Yeah, they're going to slam. So so hard. But now they have like rest of pots that you can you can faff. You can live. You can there's tons of different things. There's all the all the things to basically drown out your weaknesses. And I wouldn't want it any other way in a mock or a tournament, right? Because OK, if you're actually in game and you're actually mock or eyeing, there's no way you're holding back anything ever. It's like your character is deleted. You might as well use every single thing in your inventory in your bags. And if someone goes like, oh, well, you shouldn't use that. It's like, man, like, of course, I'm going to pot. They'll be telling you to not use that next time as a corpse. That's right. OK, like you're dead, bro. Just to piggyback on that, the only kind of rules that we have in the rulebook and maybe we can actually take a look at the rules. Yeah, I would love to see we do still have some rules. There are some rules. And one of those rules as fun pointed out was the flask of petrification. Right. We don't want to just have players flask of Petri, which is a 60 second immunity if you're not aware into another one and do another one because it's not a fun viewing experience. It would just be like nothing would happen. And we don't want people sitting in stealth for many, many minutes. But one of the first general rule here is gear acquired and acquired and raids is not allowed. And the reason we decided on that is because we wanted a little bit more of a fair playing field now. Of course, if you have streamer benefits, you know, we're not denying that. But with no raid gear allowed, it makes it so that players can get to 60 do dungeons and actually play. If we had raids allowed, it would be like who could corrupt the loot council to get into the raids and just get all the best epics within the within the first month and then someone would have like probably Naxxi or somehow and then just one shot everybody else. And we didn't want that. World buffs are not going to be allowed. So that's going to be the dire mall buffs, Zanzos, Darkmoon Fair, all that kind of stuff. All class abilities are allowed. Once we're in that dueling location, we're going to have competitors stay in that dueling location. So it's not like you can get summoned around the world and collect all these different items that you had a month to prepare. You bring what you can. Once you're in that location, you're in that location. I want to see more of these things. There's a you can only have a certain amount of flasks. Yeah. So so we said it's a three flask in the back. So if you want to prepop a flask, you're allowed to. I think that was a great change. One of the things that you can do with flasks is if you're low mana, you can pop a flask and it'll actually act as like a pseudo mana pot. So if you're zero mana and you pop like a mana flask, it'll actually give you like 1500 mana or something like that, which is a fair amount and spammable with no cooldown. So a lot of players are worried like if you don't cap flasks, players that are have infinite gold somehow are going to continue to spam flask. And there's HP flask, right? Flask of Titans. And you can just keep flask of Titans and keep reaching HP. So we're like, okay, let's let's cap this so that you can't just come in with a hundred flasks and just spam it and never die. So that was one of the rules. The only other really two rules right there that engineering. Yeah, repair bots are banned. And then the no mesh mind control cap, the no much mind control cap. I think it's an obvious one. If you mind control someone, you could actually like hire a hitman to come and kill them. That would be third partying. I've actually dealt with that in the last tournament that we ran. And we do not want that happening. So no, no much mind control cap for that reason, no repair bots, flask of Petri. And besides that, pretty much do it. Yeah. Because I think I think some people might be like, wait, what's the deal with repair bots? We didn't want to have somebody do do a bag check, right? Sell stuff, do a bag check and then go open up a repair bot and then like feed themselves. Wow. Yeah. So that's why we decided to ban repair bots. Who thought of that? They thought of everything, bro. You gotta be a rat to think like a rat. Holy crap. Whoever did that, I would not trust them in the tournament because they think of slimy shit like that. Holy crap. With that being said, there will be some fuck ups and I cannot wait. We have admins. There will be rules that are broken. There will be things that go wrong. I guarantee it. It never doesn't. And someone is, someone's going to come in, have to put their foot down and say, hey, listen, this is the best decision we can make. This is what's happening and we're moving forward. And when that happens, we've got admins that'll come in, they'll lay down the law and they'll tell you what's up and you just have to accept that because we got a tournament to keep going in. And that's just how it is. Just to clarify for the chat, the Makara finals are happening tomorrow. Today is the qualifiers for the Makara tournament. In the qualifiers, each player has five duels. The top point earners are moving to the Makara finals tomorrow. That'll be the top 64, I believe, competitors tomorrow in the Makara. Today, we're doing duels for points. Each player, five duels, top pointers of each class move to tomorrow. What's up guys? It's S-Fan here and I want to tell you guys about StarForge Systems, the best PCs in the universe. We have two different lines of computers, six computers total, and they all are priced at different points for different needs. You have the Horizon 2, which is a great entry computer, and you even have the Voyager Creator Elite, which has a 4090 and a 13900K. That's what I use. It's great for doing everything that you need for streaming, and not only do I use it, every other OTK member uses it as well. So we do shipping to all of the United States and to Canada, and there's a two-year warranty on your computers. Our prices are competitive, and it's backed by creators everywhere. So make sure to head on over to StarForgeSystems.com and get a new computer today. The best of each class will win money. So that influences people to play every class, so it's not just one through the whole thing, we're the top three. In order to figure out the best of each class, we're going to have to have people with a win-loss ratio. In order to have that, you cannot die on your first duel. You just can't do it. We're going to get an actual bracket going here, and tomorrow, people are going to start dying. What is something going on here? This is Peo versus Hydra. Oh my gosh. I can't wait, and the duel is underway. The dual flag has been dropped. Hydra is playing Shadow. Oil of emulation. Do you see it? The oil of emulation. He might get Peo out of stealth. Does it work like that? This is great. Hydra mounts up in Shadow Form. Sap comes out. It breaks him. It breaks him. Huge. Peo's going to go for a restelth here, but he doesn't get the combo points like he wanted with the cheap shot. So Peo's opener in his mind is already thrown off. Peo going for the resap here, opening up with that mechanical dragonling. Might have a few combo points here. Let's see the opener restelth one more time. No heartbreak beat there. Vanish for the opener. Sheepshot comes out with two pets, and Hydra's probably pretty scared right now. Trinket into that full fear. Will of forsaken immediately, and Hydra's under pressure. See, he will of forsaken the fear, but then Hydra is free to just throw every other bit of CC. He's still got his magic dust. He's getting all of his dispels. He is slowing this duel down. Peo is going to get controlled so hard here. Here comes the dots getting on to Peo. The damage is going to start coming in from Hydra, and he's just going to keep his distance. And now he's going to be able to fear him too. Grenade? Oh, Peo's just getting controlled forever. Very impressive kites here from Hydra, but look at Peo's health. 80%. Shadow Priest's 50% mana to Peo's health bar. If we're comparing mana to health here, I would say Peo might still be in a slight lead, although as I say that, he's getting ticked down. That's the second blind preparation used. Looks like Peo is going to want to maybe bandage up here or eat up. Nice resale sap here coming out, but looks like it might be DR'd. I don't know if Peo knows that. Bandage is coming out, topping himself back off. But Hydra is back high on mana. Now here's the big difference. Peo on his second opener is not going to have that, but he will not have that helmet to CC Peo, the goblin helmet. So Hydra might be in a world of hurt here. Sheepshot coming out into a full kidney. But everything is, he goes through the fear, he doesn't have will. He trinkets it, but now Hydra is free to, what the fuck, magic dust him, but I don't know if he's going for it. He's going for damage, but he's getting rushed down with so much damage. He's got to get some control on Peo, I feel like. Here comes a tuber coming out, little bit of extra health. Big eviscerate. That exposed armor, he needs to get him CC'd. He goes for some heals. There's the helmet. Oh, man. Oh, he, oh, okay. There goes the helmet on to Peo or on to Hydra. Peo is going to get some eating, some resets, some saps. Maybe a little. Yeah. This might be over here. There it is. It's really good bandage value. This right here, dude, he might actually have this. I think Peo might be a slight lead here and something that's really impressive is that he's so tanky. I think it's those potions we were talking about. Peo's just not taking much damage. Another reselled cheap shot. There's a break into a full fear. This is the reset Hydra's looking for. There's the shadow word pain, and Hydra has such great positioning. There's the renew max range with that shadow word pain. Hydra's looking to reset this out. He can be healed up, dude. He brought out a limb to break the stun. Peo has no more CC breaks. Hydra can reset this duel so many times with any bit of CC at this point and heal back up. And Peo has no cooldowns. He's going in. If the Dodds fall off, he can sleep guys. Sleep guys. Oh, Will's back off cooldown. Oh, no. Hydra could just die. He needs his fear back off CD. I don't know what the timer is on it. He's going for the heals. He's trying to get them off. He gouges it because he has no kick. The next fear, the game is over if he gets it. That might be it for Hydra. See, Peo has the damage to finish him out. Hydra goes down. That was so close. Dude, that was sick, dude. Wow. That was amazing. That was incredible, man. So at the beginning when that thing started, Hydra definitely had the upper hand for the first maybe 30 seconds of that thing. And then Peo had such a massive, massive reset coming in. And really, I thought that Hydra might have had it before that grenade landed. Getting the full fear off. Getting the heals in, got granated, came back in. Unbelievable, dude. That was hype. The real thing coming in here is we don't get to see the cooldowns on our screen, but that will have forsaken coming back off CD for another fear break was it. Ziko is going. Come on, production. Get us in there. And it looks like we haven't missed much. It looks like the rug isn't open yet. Look at the bottom right. Look at the bottom. Look at all his decisions. He's got an arsenal. I love it. I love seeing their perspective. This gear though from Ziko is some of the best gear. I think it is the best gear you can get at least from Ziko's perspective. I don't think there's anything else he was still going for and needing out of these last couple days. Look at this. Sageblade 20 Spirit Enchant for the Long Duels. I love that book of the dead. I love that skeleton. We have that storm rager with a 1.3 speed nature resist wand arena grandmaster very difficult to get that without dying title charm. Check the ranks. Oh my God. Ziko knows what the duel is about. My man is wearing defense and stamina because he knows what his win condition is. He is geared and prepped for this duel. I want to point this out because there's no like there's nothing like resilience in that in vanilla. If you get defense on gear in vanilla each point of defense gives you 0.04 like parry dodge and block. So defense effectively and it also increases their chance to miss against you. Now you have to be able to do those things in the first place but defense is actually a very good stat to mitigate. Here we go. He gets the sap off. The alarm bot doesn't do what it needs. You go ahead. This is your duel. You're the mage. Ziko's trying to live the crazy burst that's about to come in here from Savik. Ziko knows that. Has a lot of stamina. Heartbeat breaks. Frost Nova. Savik's out of stealth. Gouge lands Ziko kiting with the thorium nades. Still has the trinket to stun. Savik's if he needs to. Sheep goes out. Trinket to break the sheep. Looks like a fab's being used. Blind on the sheep. Really well played here from Savik's. Savik doesn't want to waste too much precious time getting hit all over Ziko and break that shield. Ziko's still full life. I'd say it's a fairly even duel right now. Sheepshot coming out just to build combo points. Savik's is not going to break that yet. There it is. Ice block late. I think there's still a second blind here from Savik's. Let's see if he uses it. Another cold snap coming out. Ziko goes to the blink into the reset. Polymorph being casted and it lands. Looks like Savik's is going to be sitting that one and Ziko's going to get them. Was that what that was? It looked like it was but the timing didn't quite work out. The sheep breaks early on the heartbeat. Re-stealth goes off. That's a massive blunder there from Ziko. But he does get him out of stealth. There's the cone of cold at land. Ziko kiting out Arena Grandmaster being used. Very close duel. Tidal Charm from Savik's. I think Ziko still has the Tidal Charm in return and he does use it. There's another sheep reset. Nicely done there from Ziko. Ziko's going to go full range here. I think Savik's is almost out of cooldowns though. I think Ziko has done it. I think that was kind of the onslaught there from Savik's. Now handling this very well. Counterspell being used to keep Savik's in combat and it pays off. There's the charge helmet there from Savik's to get another gap break to Ziko. Gouge coming out to build those combo points. Savik's going for another re-stealth. Some item swaps coming out on top of that. Savik's does indeed go into stealth. Reopens up onto Ziko. Frost Nova coming out. That's the last blind. Ziko blocks it. Professional plays here from Ziko. Savik's on his last vanish as well. That nade lands. It's over. Does it land? It does not land. Savik's is going to have 60 seconds in stealth. The alarma bot still up. Oh! Coming out from Ziko. MLG plays there. Really, really nicely done. Konokold coming out. Savik's doesn't have anything left. Ziko's pretty much lived at this point. Going to max range. Ziko 80% life. Swapping items that evoke to full mana just to make sure he has enough to get the job done here. Another sheep landing. Frost bolts coming out. No need for the fireball. No more vanishes. That's not really too much here. Nade coming out. It's not going to be a big deal. Ziko's going to be able to kite this one out. Oh, another found out. Yeah, another fast comes out and a sheep to reset the fat, but it's on DR. This is going to be a scary 40 seconds, 30 seconds for Ziko. He doesn't... No block either. No block. No way to kite this. Oh! Speed! He's going for it. He knows. And they're both sprinting. It's the sprint boots and the sprint boots. So well played from both players here. Ziko's keeping Sav combat so we can't get the restells with his rank one arcane explosions. Just hiding out the fast. There's only one second left and that is it. Oh my gosh, the Kona pulled on the restel. This is incredible to watch. Another Nova coming out. Big shatter combo. There's a ice reflector. Well played, but Savics, he doesn't have much left. There's no there's no ice. Oh, he does get a restel randomly. Nice rank one blizzard from Ziko. Immediately blinking and aggressively there. Savics turns around on the blink. Doesn't look like he's going to be able to connect. There's another frost Nova. Oh my god. Hell stone back to full. There's oh the net. He's got no blink. He's got no blocks. He blinked in. He blinked in. He's got to take this damage. He's getting clobbered. He's got no answers for it. He's oh Ziko. Savics might have done it. The reset though from Ziko and then the through box medicine pouch to heal him up. There's a wand taken out the dragonling first aid. Ziko's going to play this one a little more careful this time. Another restel coming out frost. No. He's got to get mana. He's drinking. He's going to accept. Okay, now it's mind game. Ziko wants to drink but Savics wants to sap him. He could drink. He could go for AOE. He's got to get this. Savics has no tools left. Nothing left. Oh, he gets him. Gouch. That he missed a whole lot of nothing. Big Nova. It's important to know may just have pretty long cooldowns. We can rotate up to this next sprint this next vanish potentially before like the cold snap for example comes back up. So we'll see if in the super long game maybe the road can rotate back through another net comes out and it does land. There's a fab. This is going to be scary. No more blocks. Blink coming out from Ziko. 6% mana pot being used back up to 45% resist on the poly. Yes. No, that's going to be scary. There's a counter spill so we can't get the restel. But if Ziko fights this, he's going to take so much damage here. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. No line of sight. There's a blink coming through. Savics can close the gap. A full kidney shot or cheap shot can land. Fire blasts to keep the combat. Faps running low here. I've made soon. He's going to get a restel here. He's going to get... There it is. Misses the Nova. Savics dodges it. Dude, Savics. These are two players at the top at the absolute top of their respective classes, dude. These guys are unbelievable. They've been unbelievable players for years. Retail classic the whole nine yards. This is an unbelievable deal, man. Big first aid coming in. Full HP. There's just... There's no cooldowns. It's just health bar versus health bar now. Trying all that for me. Getting the karma points. Oh, big eviscerate into the blind. This is what I was talking about. The blind rotated up. I don't know if Ziko has a block yet for this. Arcane bomb. The silence and the damage. If that doesn't miss. Okay. If he gets that Arcane Bomb on this sap, Ziko's going to be silenced. Savics could burst him down. Let's see if he goes for the Arcane Bomb opener. There's the cheap shot. Ooh, I would have liked to have him come out from Ziko. Another health advantage for the counter play into the cheap shot. Savics is all over him, kitty. No out for this at all. Ziko no blink. No ice block. 50% life. So much damage coming through. There's the net as well. It doesn't backfire. Ziko on the back foot. Nade coming out into the poly reset once again. She comes out on the polymorph. What is Ziko going to do? There's the blink. Another nice big frost bite coming out into the half to your polymorph. The dark room doesn't quite break the poly. The timing is really good. He's going to get some drinks. He knows Savics is far away. He knows he can't get to him. He's trying to eat and drink while running away to get as much out of as possible before Savics catches up with the sap. I mean, Ziko is tanky. He ate a full kidney shot as a mage versus a rogue. And he's going to get some drinks. He's going to get some drinks. He knows Savics is far away. He knows he can't get to him. He's trying to eat and drink while running away to get some mage versus a rogue. In full dark mantle gear. I mean, he just tanked the whole thing. He gets about a stealth. Oh my gosh. That was a really nice arcane explosion. The game sense coming in from the big Z. Really impressive frost nova. Ow, but Ziko is still very low. Savics full life. Net comes out. Blink to respond. Counter spell so that Savics doesn't get that resale. Full poly once again. Hopefully we don't get that heart beat. First aid here. Nice Ziko first aiding back to full. Just trying to slow down the duel. Heart beat once again. Savics getting the rest of when rank one arcane explosions coming out to try to find them, but it looks like Savics is not going to be fooled this time. I would love to see an arcane bomb burst coming out. Nice arcane explosion, though. Unreal and he's a grenade while drink walking perfectly. That's so unbelievably impressive, man. Have that game sense big big poly Ziko just trying to get control of this game. He needs to just get all his cool down like the cooldowns are gone again and Ziko has his cooldowns back at this point. I think Ziko is at a huge advantage. Heart beat. Ziko is looking good. The only thing I'm concerned about is Savics is so tanky. It's super hard to kill the rogue. You can get the rogue out of cooldowns, but the rogue will just walk at you for like three minutes and it's just really hard to kill the rogue. I think for the rogue to kill the mage, though, it's a similar story. It has to be some type of arcane bomb burst combo, but arcane bomb I believe my share cool on the FAP, so it's going to be a hard one. Now that Nova comes out, Ziko kites it out. Ice barrier. Net to follow. That's not what Ziko wants here. Full DR poly dark room. Once again, the timing on it must be just insanely tricky. It's like one frame. Yeah. Yeah. Super, super tough. Counterspell once again to keep the rogue combat in case the poly breaks. The counterspell keep the rogue combat and the rogue will not be able to restelf and it does break and that counterspell came in clutch there. Frostbolt's coming out. He's still 100% HP. Oh, there we go. The UI hadn't updated. Okay. Big grenade. Max rank bolt doing 10% of his health. This might be it then. This might be it then. I mean, what is Savick's going to do? He's trying to get a restelf, but Ziko knows this. He's not going to let him do it at this point. He's got him on the ropes. He's got to turn around. He's got to walk into him. Here comes the chicken. Here comes the mortar. I think it backfired or no. Savick's mortar him. He's going to block the blind. Really well played. Conakold coming out. Big shatter. This could be it here for Savick. So that's a frostbolt fire blast. Boom! 3% life arc and explosion. That's it. Damn. What a duel, man. I mean, both of these guys are absolutely unbelievable players. Dude, I really thought Savick's had a chance to come back there, man. I noticed that when he got blinded, typically the mage just ice blocks it. Right, Zaryu? Yep. That's what you want to do. You pretty much trade it, but Ziko knew Savick's had FAP running and he said, you know what? I'm going to let you blind me and I'm going to sit the whole thing because that's 10 seconds of your FAP. Yep. And those kind of decisions in like an undiscovered territory like this is really what is going to set Ziko and others apart. What an absolute pleasure to watch and cast that game. That was just brilliant from both perspectives. Looks like here we have a mage-mere matchup. This is one of those duels that can go a while. It's going to be like whatever mage goes aggressive first will lose because once you start going aggressive the other mage will reset on you, evil and bandage up and now you're on the back foot. Is that a pyroblast? Oh my gosh. One of the mages might be opting for fire and Brew just getting jumped. Shad, well done. Yeah, I mean that was just... That's what it is. Dude, I mean the duels so far have been absolutely phenomenal. We're in Bobca versus Dendario. Yeah, so Bobca has this mage on the run the man is down to 20%. The mage is trying to stall this duel out. So just a quick TLDR in the duel. Mage wants to stall it out Rogue wants to rush him down. Bobca's sheet breaks and he's in hot pursuit. Maybe he gets a restelth here if the mage doesn't stop it and he does. Bobca going into that restelth. Big AoEs coming out here from Dendario. There's the ice barrier to protect himself just a little bit. This is not looking good for the mage. Don't know. I think it's over. Well, here's the thing. In this matchup if the mage lives with just one life but the Rogue is out of vanishes and out of sprints and out of blinds, it's tough. When the sapper comes out so much damage Dendario putting up that Fire Ward though very well done. Tidal Sherman to the Sheep reset. So yeah, the mage could bandage and Evo back to full if he still has those cooldowns available. If not just eating the full and kiting it out making sure Bobca's out of cooldowns waiting for the sprints to vanishes the blinds to be gone. And from there the mage can win with one life. That's literally all it takes. You just have to live and get the reset and Dendario might have done it. It doesn't look super great for him but I believe Frostbolt's coming out since that's not a fireball. Maybe there's no more vanishes left. Looks like we have a small lag spike. We're back. Okay, nice. And we're just kiting it out. That Mithril Draggling is huge. This is all huge, are you? If the poly breaks. Yeah, that pet is going to start chunking the mage down. Oh, another poly. I do believe that might still be on the diminishing return. I don't know if that reset quite yet. Maybe a small blunder here from Dendario. He's back up to 50% life and really wants to slow this down. Bobca's probably Frost Reflector there. It looks like it misses though. The Frost Reflect came a bit late and the Frostbolt did not reflect. So Bobca's not going to be happy with that one. Nice little frostbite RNG here. Big shatter from the mage potentially coming out. Frostbolt lands. Bobca's so tanky though with all these potions. 40% mana left for Dendario. Bobca's trying to find a way to close the gap but he might just have to wait for another big cooldown to come back up. There's the grenade. Could be the opening Bobca's looking for but it looks like he still won't be able to close the gap and this is what we are talking about. The mage can turtle this out all day when the robe is out of vanishes and sprints with just that rank one Frostbolt. And the mage looks like he's doing just that hiding flawlessly here and slowly working down Bobca's HP bar. I mean, I want you to take this away, Zarya. You've got this dual knockdown that better than either of us. So you all you. We have the rank one Frostbolts coming from the mage and this is really to bait the frostbite procs. Rank one Frostbolt from the mage costs almost no mana but Bobca gets another vanish off of cooldown and this is what he was waiting for. Just tanking all the damage first aid coming through and if Bobca gets a lot of damage in this opener it could be lights out for Dendario. Full first aid coming out. Bobca's going back to full life here and that's all the work. The hard work Dendario's put in to slowly way to take him out is just reset here. Mage blinks. Bobca's just shooting the gun at this point and Dendario might not be tanky enough to outlast Bobca which is normally not what we see here in this matchup. Mana's at 17% for the mage and it's not very much so we're going to have to go for a sheep reset, build some of that mana back and then start from ground zero to take out Bobca's life slowly but surely. Once again we want this rank one Frostbolts to proc the frostbite. The frostbite is that ranged stun 15% Nova to 15% chance to Nova the Rogue. Once that Nova comes out that's when you go for a max rank frostbolt to go for a Shatter combo and that's the strategy Dendario's looking for. Another Nade comes out. Bobca's closing the gap just a little bit here. In this expansion of course, no shadow step, no way to close the gap besides those vanishes or those sprints. So Bobca's just playing the waiting game using potions on cooldown pretending he's a healer. Dendario's laughing Bobca's just waiting on those cooldowns. Once he gets another vanish or another sprint or another Nade, then that's when he's going to try to burst down the Rogue. There's the blind. So Dendario let Bobca to get a little too close. Blind comes out in first aid. I must say I think Bobca is pretty advantaged here. Dendario's playing well but Bobca doesn't look like he's backing down. He's keeping his life totals up pretty high here. Goes for the sap on the mage. The sap heartbeat breaks. Fab sprint but he gets the Nova first on the sap and he just gets the sheep and reset the Fab. That's so unlucky for Bobca. I mean there's a lot of RNG here with these like these sheep breaks and these heart beats when it comes to the polys, the saps and each of these guys is either spamming Nova or spamming stealth. Here it goes. There's a heartbeat on the poly. He doesn't get the stealth off. Did he CS it? I didn't even get it on that time. Okay. Alright, well I mean how do you even wither down this health? Bobca got so unlucky there with that RNG but at the same time. How do you kill this with all of these resists and all of the you just can't kill them and he's running. This is brutal. I mean Bobca's got no buttons left. He's got no cooldowns and Dardario is just sitting here trying to kill this raid bot. Look at that. It's a shatter and it didn't move his health. There's another frost bolt. The guy's not even slow. Did he rest opot? I don't know. He's going to just he's trying to get some frost bolts, trying to get damaged and trying to keep him slow, keeping his distance. It's an actual raid boss just waddling that he cannot hurt. There's the Nova. Now let me be the first to say this is a different experience than we normally see here. Such great gear there on to Bobca with that dark mantle on the double sore. But normally this looks different, right? Normally Bobca would just be getting owned here and like you're saying Soda, big shatter combo comes out. He goes from like 90% to 80 and Bobca's just tanking it. It's just walking towards him. Big cooldown from Bobca. Frostbite frost on the couch. There's the cold blood. Mario's tanking it, but look at his mana. He's almost doomed. He's got nothing left. He needs to manage him. He needs to mana pot. He needs to do something because he cannot hurt this guy. Bobca's strategy he can almost just win with nades and his bow. Bobca with their grenade. He was reset in the grenade multiple times too. Bobca's using like all of his items on cooldown for just max HPS and DPS from range like using tubers on cooldown. Oh frost resist pot and advantage coming out. Oh great. Nade there from Dendario. Bobca's getting shit on. That is such a bad oh that's so bad dude. Dendario's playing very well. I'm very impressed. Having said that I would say Bobca might be in the lead here to be honest. What a manna. The guy's wanting. He can't even slow him anymore. He has no mana. That's what I'm saying. He needs his mana potion. He needs to manage him. He's kiting forward. He's trying to get some distance. There's the gouge. There's the first aid. Dendario has to have a cooldown here or he's dead. He needs something. There it is. He gets something. I don't know what he drank but he got mana back. The rogue is half HP. This is when he goes for the kill. Bobca has no vanishes. He's got a whole lot of fucking nothing. So this is when he needs to take that half HP piece of shit down. Yeah we kind of need like an evocate from Dendario or something like that. Bobca's still half life and Dendario's just tapped. Like Bobca's passive life regen. It's just a bandage and a pot every. Bandage every pot every two minutes. You know we have tubers and like his passive read like Bobcook could almost just sit at range and use his gun and shoot down Dendario with nades. There's another mana pot though. You're right. There's a resist on cone. He gets gouge because of it. There's the kidney. He's trying to stick the blink. Doesn't actually blink. That was pretty smart. Oh and there it is. Late blink. I love it. I mean is that enough mana? Oh there's ego. Two ticks. He just wants six. Oh ice line. Looks it. Beautifully played. So blocking the blind there to stay aggressive is just beautiful play there from Dendario. He knows this match up doing very well. There's another shatter combo with Frostbull. This could be the damage Dendario's been waiting for. Little tuber coming out from Bobca. He's back up to 40% life. But look how much mana he has. Plus the name coming out. Big shatter. Bobca could go down 4% he got as Dendario. Finally taking down the raid boss of Bobca. That was really well played. A battle of attrition man. That was an insane duel man. The way that Dendario was able to go out and to be able to kite him and Bobca being able to rotate his heals and his different consumables with the tubers with the health pots, bandages, everything I mean that was impressive. I mean to be able to survive that to begin with but man that's sometimes some duels, some matchups will just go really long and you just wait for the next person to make a mistake. PS hero I think there's a handful of other really solid duels going on. And while we're jumping into that just to clarify with these rounds guys we have that round 1 and instead you go like 1 and 0 in that first round. That's great. When you moved around 2. Oh here we are. We have PS hero versus a warlock. It's an SLSL warlock. PS hero looks like he's doing great full life. Warlock is in that kidney shot fear being casted. Comma points being built up here. We have that second sacrifice available and it is used. Yones though on the back foot fear trying to fake out but he's not faking that kick. He does fit. Finally fake the kick comes out instead. Arcane bomb looks like it's going to be channeled here. Finally we get to see a good Arcane bomb resist unfortunately. Nice big fear coming out. But he resisted fear. Oh no. This warlock is just getting plobbered. Kidney shot comes out. PS hero looking like an absolute pro here in this situation. Yones what are you going to do? Lip into the howlotary range. Oh not that range. That was so close. I played there from Yones. He goes with the first aid reset into the fear. Now he's just got to make sure PS hero doesn't get this restelf and make sure that PS hero doesn't get that full reset. Yones looking for reset himself. Another voidwalker coming out. Well played. There's a soul link. Yeah he's got to get this kite out. Don't let him get back. Oh no. I mean PS hero. Just get I love that. I love the gouge on the voidwalker. Get the first aid ticks off. You just got to get the first aid. There's the coil. He's going to get a fear here. PS heroes. I don't know how many he's got will of forsaken still. He really needs to wither this warlock down because the longer it goes on, the more easy it is to get him off and that's in the warlock's favor. There's the fear he's got no will for. He's got no trinket. The warlock is riding him down. PS hero can't do any damage. I think he healthstone. He's going for a grenade with the hell out of it. Trying to get some dots up. Trying to get an emulate, but he doesn't want to cast it. He just wants to run and take the free damage. PS hero trying to throw a grenade to close distance. He misses. Double miss. Warlock life tapping. He threw in a wand. He's min-maxing what he can. Trying to get a fear. PS hero can't stop it. He eats the fear. That might be it. Yeah. That's a huge, huge separation there. If PS hero can't close this gap, there's nothing he can do. Kineshot comes out on the pet. Shadowbolt. Not being quite casted. PS hero 30% life. Warlock. Pop that shadow burn. More dots coming through. There's the full blind, but the dots are still ticking. That warlock. Yeah. PS hero is really on the back field. There's the evasion for the pet damage coming out, but how are you going to finish off this warlock? Sacrifice still available. Fear of being fake casted. There's the sacrifice. Tons of dot damage coming in through. I think Jonas can maybe finish it off. The bandage only is going to be one tick. Yeah. That corruption. Oh, it's going to be close. There's a lip and a drain life. Fear of being casted. If that lands, it's all but over. Finish in the clutch. Sheepshot. PS hero. Damage. Oh my gosh. Take him out. It's not over. What the fuck? How are they not dead? Oh, that's it. I know. PS hero. PS hero one man. Who won? No way. I think PS hero one. How are they not dead at the end? The warlock popped a flask. Danny, was that a flask? Or did we see something else whenever his health went up? Because the UI bugged out. I don't know. That was the closest duel of the day. That was insane. That means the sapper at the end. Yes. The sapper couldn't kill you. If the sapper killed him, they're done. They're out of the pool. That was so risky, dude. Freak out on someone who was dying permanently. Wow. That was a great duel. And the fact that PS hero won that without even being at his desk, we went and we switched to his POV at the end there. I was trying. Dude, it was incredible. This guy wasn't even trying. Oh, we got bean. I'll go after this. I'll go after this. This could be a grand finals game or like a semi-final game. Like these are some of the two favorites. I thought Snuts was going to win. You said bean could win, right? This could literally be like a grand finals match here. As fan said, he wants bean to win. We know bean can't win. I want bean to win. I do think Hunter is really strong in this tournament. But I mean, Snuts is one of the top players in all the while. I mean, he's armed to the tee. I mean, just look at his gear. I mean, he has literally everything. People were going to be a great duel, though. I do agree with these are you. I think this is it. This is a big, big matchup that we have coming up. I'm just going to say a lot of people are talking to Snuts about different matchups. Apparently Hunter is one of the ones he is a bit nervous about. He's like, oh, yeah, I can beat that. I can beat that. But he is a bit nervous into Hunter. Looks like bean is going to start off with some CC onto Snuts with the Gnomish goblin helmet here and get distance onto Snuts. I wonder if bean's going to opt in for a managerian strategy or kind of just go toe-to-toe with the damage. Wow. Looks like bean's pet is already dangerously low here from Snuts. It's like half HP from one curse. Looks like Snuts going for a pet kill before killing bean. Going for the long game here. Viper Sting coming out. Tidal Charm being used from Snuts. And the pet from bean is almost dead already. Drained life coming out. Pet is dead. Now Snuts has that Viper Sting. Let's see if he has elixirs to get that off. Bean on the back foot with those wing clips. Scatter feigned death into the trap. Might be eaten by the pet, but no, almost. That would have been awesome. Pet in hot pursuit here for bean. Bean taking a lot of pressure down to 30%. Man, I would say Snuts is in the lead so far. Bean's getting... I mean, there's another Viper. He's going to get a free tick because he can't cleanse it while you're frozen, but he goes... He cleanses it right before he gets another tick. Again, bean's just trying to keep that distance. He's trying to line up a grenade here. Snuts is trying to dodge it. Let's see if he gets it. He does dodge it. Hellfondle on the pet. Very smart. Now the pet's out of range. And this is not a Makara duel. It's a normal duel, so the range is a bit shorter. He's drain lifeing the Viper Sting, the pet's mana. Interesting. So Bean is going for the Viper Sting Strap, but he's losing the mana battle. Snuts has such a mana advantage that I don't know if it's going to work for Bean. Bean, using the medicine pouch. Going to heal him up slowly, but surely Snuts playing the long game. Instantly uses the Elixir on the Viper Sting. Really well played from Snuts. Hellfondle coming out. Bean... Oh, I don't know how you're going to win this one, buddy. First aid coming out from Snuts. The pet is in hot pursuit. Looks like Bean's going to try to go for a full reset, maybe resummon the pet, but he's at the edge of the duel arena already. I think Snuts might still get a death coil. Snuts has so much in his back pocket. I don't know how Bean's is going to do this. There's two dots coming out. Snuts is patient. He's a veteran. He knows not to push in over aggressive. He doesn't need to. The dots are taking him down. He knows the only way to lose this is getting over aggressive in pushing in. Just dotting him and letting the dots do the work is all Snuts needs to do here. Bean wants to get rid of this pet. He wants to feign trap this Warlock Snuts so he can just eat and drink over and over. But Snuts knows this. He knows how important it is to keep that pet alive. And even if Bean does manage to kill it, Snuts will resummon it before he can get the scatter trap off. And so in this situation, I don't know what Bean can do. That is his win condition, but Snuts won't let it happen. Snuts still has the sacrifice pet if he needs a Feldom sacrifice. Another pet. Snuts has so many consumables being on the back foot 20% life. I don't see how it's going to happen. Snuts is just such a mastermind when it comes to dueling. Bean is just kiting it out doing what he can. But I think the agony and the emulate will eventually take him out. One more tick. Vipers through Snuts. Insta elixir of poison resists on the Vipers sting and takes out Bean, one of the biggest games we've seen yet today. Are we looking at Sony here? Oh no Sony versus Warlock. Here he goes. He's buffed up. He's swapping here and he was a little low from the stamina swap. But yeah, the healing from the diamond set will probably more than make up for that. Dots taking Sony down. Sony's connecting here. Big kick lands on to Madnox. There's a potion being used. Sony kills the pet in one slap. So much damage coming out here. Sony does a big mortal strike coming out. Look at the damages chunking down the Warlock. To void walker with the Feldom. He can sacrifice it. But what is that going to do? He's got to sacrifice before the execute comes through Madnox. You got to do it. Hellstone into the mortal strike though. So it's not going to be that big of a heal. Sony's all over him. He's immune to fear for the time being as well. There's the intercept. Three seconds done coming out Madnox. Finally goes for that stop there. Full fear coming out. Arcane bomb canceled. Well played there for Madnox on the reset. He's got to get another pet. Sony 100% life. Absolute beast. Absolute tank of a player here. Going to battle stands to get that charge off. There it is. There we go. There's a mount off. Another void walker. So Madnox will be able to live for a little bit. But man Sony's damage is unrelenting. They're going pretty max range here. Epic mount too to point out. Jesus. There's the helmet but there's the berserker range. He's just sitting over 20% the whole time. There's the execute. He's not dead yet. Is he dead? He's dead. Warriors might be kind of the dark chorus in here. Warriors traditionally in dueling tournaments don't do very well. But traditionally phaps are banned and a lot of these items are banned. Sony just crushed that warlock. Yeah. And someone was talking to Snots about what he's most afraid of and he said warrior. You have to play the meta of the tournament, right? Hold on. Okay. Is this road versus Druid? Oh, I love this. Okay. The Druid the Druid. His name is weird. We can't get it on the UI, which is annoying, but he's got to get away. He's got to get CC, but Pierce hero is going to have so many root breaks that it's not even worth going for. It's better to play the game around sprint and just try and outrun the rogue. He's not doing it, though. He's out of form. He's gouged. He's going to be a big kidney. He's going to have to trinket this or he's screwed or blind as well. He's just going to keep resetting him. You can't abolish it when you're gouged. Fairy fire is falling off. That's a misplay. You got to spam it. It lasts like 50 seconds, but there's so much CC from the rogue. It's a refairy right away. That's nice. Okay. Pierce hero messes up, doesn't get the stealth off. There's the bash landing. He gets a big reach bash there into a root. He's going to have another break for it, though. You can't be going for roots. There's no point. He has a break for every single one. He needs to play around the sprint. I don't know if he used his medicine pouch, but this he has to just get away from the rogue. Pierce hero is so tanky, man. Like even if he does get away for a bit, Pierce hero is just topped off. He abolishes the blind. He abolishes blind there, but Pierce hero coming in with a kidney knowing that it's about to break. There's the free action potion. He's running away. There's the root. Pierce hero actually has no breaks for it now. I guess we take that. He also has no sprints. Now, this is the point of the duel where I feel like the druid can win, but I don't know if the druid can do enough damage with mana. You saw the issue with mages. As a druid, it's even harder. With all of these arcane absorptions, these restoration pods, there's a good gap closer. He got a refairy fire, so he doesn't get a restyle. That was really good by Laxia playing really well here. And just to clarify, this is the druid build that you would probably run, Soda. I think so, yes. This is what I would want to run. It's like a war of attrition. You're trying to kite it out, moonfire, insects swarm and just outlast. He bareforms the cheap. Goes for the kidney. He's still in bareform. It's good. He's reducing all this damage. Pierce hero is just dumping stuff into him. But Laxia, there's another bash landing on Pierce hero. There's the dragon. There's the root. It resists. Which is awful. Oh, we're about to get a UI update here. Massive copy paste coming in from the app. Okay, so here we go. This druid is umus fuck. Like I said, Pierce hero's full mana. It's going to be so hard to kill this guy. Even though he's got him in the spot, a druid usually wins here. But with this, there's the helmet. Maybe he can innovate. Maybe he can drink. He needs full mana to kill this guy and the rogue needs no cooldowns. Seems very similar to the rogue versus mage. It's like it's a mana bar versus the health bar. And if you don't have enough mana to kill the rogue, no matter how well you're kiting, if you don't have the damage to kill him, he's just going to keep running at you forever. And then the cooldowns will rotate back up. There'll be another sprint, another blind, another vanish. Especially in this tournament too with all the different consumes they can use. We've seen how tanky the rogues are. Okay, this druid is playing feral charge. He's actually pretty deep into feral. I would not have played that. I'd get deeper into balance for better damage and more damage. It's really good for survivability, but his mana is clearly going to start lacking here. He needs to re-fairy. He could get gouged into a vanish re-stealth or whatever. He needs to re-fairy. Get that back up. It's falling off. There it is. It resisted once. Nice. Yeah, these magic resist potions and what not. Just screw over druids so hard. Trap, free action potion. PS hero sticking all over Luxia here. Magic does instantly will of forsaken from PS hero. Kites coming out from Luxia. The mana is getting pretty close, but even if you do hit that gate, it gets really close. He's even getting more and more damage. Gap is closed once again for PS hero. That's the nature swiftness, and as I believe to top Luxia back off, PS hero is finally getting a little bit low 50% live just thorns and damage finally doing some work here. Luxia going to the full gouge. Gouch breaks from the rupture dot full kidney coming out PS hero connecting more and more damage. This is getting pretty close. Mana some mana back. He cannot take out all of this HP, but that's a good fairy. He can just drink here. He could also get his cast a root because he was eating too. I don't think Luxia has a tick. Did he get a tick? I don't look like it. There's a feral charge. Luxia is completely doomed. He is opting to go in with bear form and kill him here. This is it. He's got no mana left. Maybe he has mana pots, but if he's going, his last bit of mana he used on bear. He's just sitting in bear. He bashed. He's mauling. He's trying to just auto melee attack this guy down. He has no fairy fire in feral and fairy fire is going to fall off here. He's going to blind. Restelth, eat, drink, bandage, whatever he wants to do. That was good awareness from PS0. Like the fairy fire was falling and that's when he sent the blind so we can get off that vanish. Hopefully he can get the vanish off after this kidney. See if it'll happen. Luxia is kind of all in man. His mana is so low. He's going to have to get out of range to be able to top himself back off. PS0 are doing a great job with the poison kites. Not sure if we have those elixirs here stocked up for Luxia to get rid of that crippling. You can't use it in bear form. It shifts you out and it costs 500 to go back in. He cannot spin the mana, but his NS is probably going to come off cooldown. He has button suppressed. There we go. He drinks some mana potions. His alpha's regened. He cannot get hit out of bear form. If he does, he's dead. He gets the rejuve running. He's getting hit. He needs to either get distance or get in bear. He's it back in bear form. There's the feral charge. There's the free action potion from PS0. He's going to try and run him down. He's got to travel for him. Keep distance. Just outrun him. He's got no movement. He's mana potting. He's got to get moonfire up, insects warm. He's got the dots rolling. He's got the range of running. Is that a swift mend? Yes. There it is. What an interesting. He is deep feral, deep rest over stone from a warlock. Nice. I mean, that fairy is falling off again though. He can't do it while bear. He should have done a fairy fire. He can't switch forms either. So yeah, you just kind of screwed. They're stuck. Yeah. Luxia is deep resto. He has swift. There's a root. Roots, fairy fire back up. No improved sprint. He's actually getting CC on this guy, which I mean, the duel lasts so long, I guess you will eventually got it. You know, for a drink there. Yeah. I wonder what the timer is on innervate because I mean, man, if Luxia can get some mana, he'll be able to finish him off. It seems like there's another insects warm at resist moonfire. And Luxia is cutting it out. If he gets innervate and you drink at the same time, it basically gives you full mana instantly. Right. Yeah. And that's what he really needs to try and go for here. He's trying to get some bear for damage in, which looks great. It looks great for Luxia. Yeah. He has no mana for bear form. He's got no mana for bear form. He is going for the kill. He is staffing him. He's in. He's dropping whatever he has, I think. There's the innervate. He's getting mana back. What happened? What? The duel is over. Time out there. You're getting me. Oh, Luxia fled from the duel. Luxia fled. He had him. PS hero is dead right there. Why would you flee? Why would you flee? That is part of the tournament. And you have to have the wherewithal of knowing, hey, that thing is popping up in the middle of your screen. No, this druid is good enough. He should have the awareness of what's going on. Why would you flee? Represent, motherfucker. Why would you flee? You had it. Oh my gosh. He played extremely well. This is an S tier druid. He knows what's going on. He's honestly selling me on his spec, too. Seems like a really good spec versus rogues with that swift mend and that sustain. Basically, it's flag carry spec with a lot of intellect. I mean, what a disappointment. Yeah, man, the thing is with this tournament, like I was saying earlier is if you're competing, if you're a participant, you have to be paying attention to where the duel starts, where you're kiting to something pops up on your screen. It's annoying. Sometimes things happen and you get tunnel vision, but it's all a part of the game. It's just something you have to do. All right. We've got one more duel left. We're getting it brought up. Not sure who it's going to be. I want to see mages go against not rogues and warriors, just to see how it plays out. That's really what's going to screw them over is warlocks, priests, and so we'll see that tomorrow in the mot-garaz. We didn't get a good, as we can look at the other mages and check out their duels, but we didn't get a good look at how that plays out. So to pop in, you mentioned makaraw, and that's really why we're all here. All right. These duels have been fun to watch. These qualifiers have been fantastic, but we came here to see duels to the death. The final duel of today is going to be a rogue mirror match between showbeck and rascal, but they have both engaged in a gentleman's agreement where they've decided that it will be a makaraw duel to the death. Here we go. The winner makes it as the eighth seed in the finals tomorrow. The loser loses everything. How cool. Here's the juice. Here's the juice. This is it, dude. Final duel of the day, makaraw. This is it. This is a qualifier. Whoever wins, moves on. Whoever loses, their entire existence is meaningless. So they might as well be dead. So they're doing a makaraw as they walk out into the battlefield. Look at that. Look at that. That's rad. Magic shots of both of these players to agree to something like that. That's just cool sportsmanship. That's just exciting. I can't wait. One of these players will be dead shortly. I already know who's dead on my screen. I'm look at this gear diff. This is disgusting. This might be an execution. And this will be every single duel tomorrow will be a makaraw. Today, the whole point of today was to qualify to see who was even worthy. Of stepping into the arena tomorrow. Dual starting running in oil of emulation drink. He's trying to proc him out of stealth with it. That's pretty good. That was smart. It just I can't believe you didn't get him. There it goes. Showback is the opener on the Roscoe. There's the big sheep shot probably the gouge into the kitty to follow. She's real playing. It broke. So he doesn't get the kidney quite yet. That's a little unfortunate. Now they're both in stealth. Both both trying to make a tick tock. Both rogues have been instructed to move towards the dual flag when they're in stealth. So the rogues are trying to make their way there and show back. It's open our number to my man RP is what he wants to the cheap shot into the kidney. It's going to be all over so much damage connecting and lights out for Roscoe. Well not yet. Another bout. There it is. Roscoe. Good sport. Good sportsmanship here. Incredible job by Showback. Unbelievable finish. I love this guy. The qualifying round of the OTK Star Forge Mock Garot tournament. Unbelievable turnout today. People have been on the edge of their seats from start to finish and I cannot wait to see what the finalists do tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be an absolute bloodbath. Every single duel is going to be a Mock Garot. Everybody but one player who competed today will be playing in their final duel. We're fighting their final duel tomorrow. It's crazy to think about. Only one character in the entire tournament will be alive tomorrow. Only one. Yes. It's going to be absolutely incredible. The start time tomorrow is going to get pushed to 12 noon. So start is going to be a little bit later than it was today. And yeah. I mean it's going to be good man. Zoryu. We'll see you tomorrow. Chance. We'll see you tomorrow. Thanks so much for coming on guys. This has been a phenomenal phenomenal event so far. GG's. Well done. GG's and thanks for having me guys. All the people that are participating. I know you're watching the stream. Good luck. Try to get some sleep tonight and see you tomorrow. Good luck guys. It all comes down to this. Hope you guys enjoyed it.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz04FY0KF5E", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Perhaps something to do with large-scale data analysis in R or functional programming. Maybe you imagine the rise of some of the more interesting nascent languages of today. That's where we started, but through an odd journey over the past several years, we've ended up somewhere entirely different in the pursuit of an alternative form of programming. Through dozens of prototypes, constant testing with real people, and a willingness to throw it all away, we've learned a great deal about what it would mean to turn the computer back into a tool for thought—not just for you or me, but for all of us.	[ "Data Science", "Computation", "Data", "Big Data" ]	2015-12-11T22:14:35	2024-02-05T17:32:18	3,387	VZQoAKJPbh8	Oh, thank you. So yeah, I titled this talk In Search of Tomorrow. And I wanted it to sort of evoke a journey, because we're going to go on a bit of a journey. So over the past, I guess, almost six years now, I have sort of been working on trying to find an answer to this question. What does programming look like in 10 years, right? And my first sort of real approach to this, my first actual time that I was tasked with trying to figure this out a bit was, as Fernando said, at Microsoft. So I was a program manager on Visual Studio at Microsoft. And as time went on, I originally started as a program manager on the editor and eventually came to own the experience of using C-Sharp and Visual Basic. And while I was there, I sort of carved out this little interesting position for myself, which is trying to figure out what Visual Studio will look like years from now. What is the future of Visual Studio? If we were going to make this programming thing better, if we were going to make programmers more efficient, what would it look like? And in order to answer that question, I managed to convince my superiors to let me do a study. And so I did the, to my knowledge, only ever done end-to-end study of Visual Studio, where I sat behind a one-way mirror and watched people program and solve problems on a computer in this very general set of tasks for a month and a half. And as a result of that, I gained a lot of insight into what it means to program, what it means to be a good programmer, and how we actually do it. And this is important because as an industry, we're actually not very introspective. I loved it. We would have these guys who come in, I only use the keyboard. I never, ever touch the mouse. Well, we have videotape of them using the mouse about half the time. It turns out that depending upon what tasks you're doing, what your mental processes are kind of doing at a time, you have different modes of operating. And one of those modes typically is done with a mouse, not a keyboard. And so I did this study and started to design what I thought the future of programming would kind of look like. It's specifically tool-oriented. That was what I was tasked with. I wasn't looking so much at the languages or any of that. There was somebody else's job that was. And so I built a bunch of interesting prototypes and stuff. And they've been slowly trickling out of Microsoft since then. But this is where I first started. I started at Microsoft on Visual Studio imagining what programming will look like in 10 years. And I'm like, it will be really fast to write. That's kind of where I got to. And it will not only be really fast to write, but you'll be able to navigate really efficiently. These were the two things that I sort of latched on to. And that study also taught me something very important. And what that thing was led me to the next project, which was Lighttable. And what that study taught me was that despite, as Fernanda said, Visual Studio is a monument to humanity. It is 55 million lines of code when I was there five years ago. It is a gigantic piece of software. But in that study, I found out that most of the things that are in Visual Studio weren't actually helpful. They could have been. They could have been useful. It wasn't that the features themselves weren't good, but they were dwarfed by the fact that everyone was playing computer inside of their head. This was how they came to understand the software that they were working with. This is how they came to understand programs they were unfamiliar with, even ones they were familiar with. When something goes wrong, your only action is read some code, imagine what the computer would do, and play it out in your head, write some stuff down, and just keep doing this over and over and over again, until eventually you have basically simulated the program and you found your error. The premise behind Lighttable was, what if we were directly connected? What if there was no time between change and result? What if we shortened the feedback loop to effectively nothing? And I think there were many interesting ideas, I think, in Lighttable, but the one that people really latched on to was what I called at the time the InstaRepel. And the idea was, you typed code on the left-hand side, and if there was anything that ran as a result of that, on the right-hand side, you'd see the code filled in with all the values, right? So if we kind of zoom in on it, right? So this is in closure, so it's a list B syntax, but if I add three and four, it shows me that the answer is seven. So I undo some math, and then what's interesting is this def end thing is a function, right? And so the function takes two arguments, and you can see they got filled in as well, and you can see what the result is. And what this enabled was, as I typed, it did this, so I could literally watch the data flow through my program, right? There was no question what was going on. When I said that people were forced to play a computer inside of their head, what they were trying to do was make the program observable, right? They were given this sort of opaque thing with a set of instructions explaining how it works, and the goal here was, let's just open the box and let you see inside of it. And that was really interesting, and it was useful, and there's lots of very neat things that came out of LightTable. I mean, it had other ideas too. It had this sort of small talky notion of like, I'm gonna put code, like little snippets of code all over the place and embed running applications in it so that I can sort of create my own organizations for code, right? I'm not limited to just what I can put in a linear file. I can create this sort of canvas upon which all this stuff sits. So we did LightTable, and one of the things we had sort of an explicit goal of was not just unlike at Microsoft, where the goal was purely like make programmers more efficient. Our goal with LightTable was actually, yeah, we wanna make me more efficient. That's great and all. That has potentially huge economic value. But more importantly, we wanted to make programming more accessible, right? One of the things that we came to was this idea that the reason programming is so hard is because it's unobservable, because you can't see what's going on. You can't see the effects of change. You can't watch your data flow through and so you're doing this replaying in your head. And LightTable with features like this, yeah, hey, we're pretty good for programmers actually. That study that I did for Visual Studio, we kind of replicated it with LightTable to see what the difference was, right? And for a career programmer, hey, programming this way, it's about twice as fast. And there were lots of interesting things that came out of that. For example, in Visual Studio, people would write large swaths of code before ever pressing the play button basically. With this model, people wrote little tiny bits, right? And we're trying it all the time. And as a result of that, they built up, as they were building up sort of abstractions and all these functions and this sort of set of primitives, they knew what every single one of them was doing. They knew it worked correctly. They knew what their result was going to be. And so that was great. Career programmer could be maybe twice as fast. Turns out that twice as fast actually isn't enough. This is something that people have sort of a religious attachment to, right? These are our tools. These are the ways we express ourselves as programmers. And so 2x, while interesting and compelling, is not enough to get me to drop Emacs, right? Or is not enough to get me to get out of Visual Studio, or whatever the case may be. So it didn't really get the sort of attention we had hoped for in that regard, although we got tens of thousands of people using it. More importantly though, it did nothing for our other goal, this goal of making programming more accessible. And we tried to understand this. And that understanding resulted in an essay that I wrote a while back, called, Toward a Better Programming. And in it, I sort of realized that I had approached this problem. I used to say, I wanna make programming better, right? And I realized I had made a classic rookie mistake, which to this room is probably well known and understood. I tried to answer a question I didn't really understand, right? Like, what does making programming better mean? What is better? That implies that there's something wrong. What is wrong with programming? What even is programming, right? It's kind of an interesting question to start to ask. And so we started doing some research. We asked a bunch of people, built a bunch of prototypes, tried to sort of develop an understanding for what we were actually trying to do. And I sort of came to an answer about what is wrong with programming. If we're gonna do anything to fix it, we have to have some notion of what it is we were actually fixing, right? And it came down to three properties. The first I basically already started to talk about, right? It's that programming is unobservable. I make some change in code unless I manage to execute that code path, you know, in manual clicking around on a screen or whatever. I have no idea what happened. And as I'm making the changes, if I make a whole bunch of them, I have no idea what the effect of each individual change is, much less the effect of the entire aggregate of changes. And this is a lot of what we were trying to address with LightTable was trying to make programming more observable. But there's another problem too. And that is that programming is indirect. So if I'm, let's do something fun. If I'm describing a drone, right? And I have this thing hovering over here next to me. If I want to make that drone do something using pick any language you want, right? I have to first translate it into that language. I have to first translate it into the computer, right? I have to think like the computer in order to get the computer to do what I want. This is very indirect mapping. And if you look at the vast majority of errors that happen when people program, they come from actually relatively simple translation errors, right, is this indirection that causes a lot of friction. So when we were doing that study on Visual Studio, we saw this over and over again, where somebody had the right solution. Just along the way, they just did it slightly incorrectly. And again, it wasn't that their logic was incorrect or any of that. It's just literally the mechanical process of translating that logic into Python or C-Sharp or whatever is not easy. We're not very good at it as human beings. And the last one, and this is something that career programmers really latch on to when I talk to them, is that programming is incidentally complex. What I mean by that is that the vast majority of what we do when we program has nothing to do with the problem we are trying to solve, right? A very, very simple demonstration of this is, I like to pick on how long does it take to set up a dev machine from scratch, right? I watch people take the better part of a week doing this at Microsoft. That's just to get code to run, right? That's like not even trying to do anything interesting yet. That's just to get started to start your problem, right? And so when I say that the programming is incidentally complex, I mean that we spend a great deal of time solving the problems around solving our problem. So to give you a simple example of this, to sort of demonstrate exactly how hard programming really is, right? We tried to come up, and we did this talk a while back where we went around and had a bunch of people try to build what we thought was one of the simplest possible programs you could imagine a normal person wanting to build, which is a button on the screen that counts the number of times it's been clicked, right? And so I click the button, it says one and two and three, and that's it, right? If you think about this, like what it takes to build this little button, we'll assume you already understand HTML, which is a big jump, right? But we'll assume you don't know enough to write this little bit of HTML here, and then it's not so bad, right? It's just six lines of JavaScript. Well, let's unpack exactly what's in the six lines of JavaScript. So first off, you have to understand the notion of identity, which is arguably one of the hardest problems in programming, even though it seems like it should be something very simple. You know, I have to tell the computer, hey, that button that I just put on the screen, I'm still talking about that button. I wanna work with that one, right? You then have to deal with scope, right? This, again, six lines of code has a function in it, which is creating a new scope and things are weird in this sort of world. Things that you define in there don't escape, but if you talked about them above there, they're ambiguously escaping. You have the notion of mutable assignment. Fast majority of programming errors are the result of mutable assignment. You have closures, something that still most career programmers don't understand correctly. You have asynchrony, which is probably unquestionably the hardest problem in programming at this point. You have objects and properties and the DOM. That's six lines of code contains the context of years of work, right? You have to have spent years to understand what all of those things are doing. Yeah, sure, somebody might be able to go to Stack Overflow, you know, copy some of this out and ta-da, I have a button that works, but that means they can't change it because they don't understand it, right? Those six lines of code, you know, I joke here like too long didn't read for six lines, but that is kind of the reality, right? Programming is hard. Question is, does it have to be hard, right? Is this sort of intrinsic? My standpoint is no, but this is where we ended up with Lighttable, right? We had taken these, this kind of language, we took JavaScript, we took closure, we took Python, we're like, well, if we remove the feedback loop, programming will be easy now, right? Cause you don't have to play a computer in your head, but this didn't change. All of this is still true, right? All of this is still necessary. And so as a result of that, it, you know, didn't make things much better. And that's sort of the sort of like fundamental problem with trying to make it more accessible, right? It's programming, it's still programming, no matter how good of a tool you make for it. And the problem with that is that these languages and these tools were built around the idea that we were going to build applications, right? That the end result of programming is a little icon that you double click on your screen and does one thing and somebody writes it and they give it to you and that's that. But the reality is what we really want when I started to think more about what it meant to make programming more accessible. It wasn't about making applications. We struggled with this for a long time, right? We're like, oh, well it's gonna be building websites. So we'll make it easy to build websites, right? But it's actually to do something for our more fundamental, right? It's just to think. Fundamentally, if you go back to the beginning of the 1970s when a lot of what is modern computing came to be, the idea back then wasn't the single purpose appliances, right? The idea was a tool to think with. And if we're going to make programming more accessible, ultimately what we are trying to do is make a thinking tool, not necessarily a tool for building large scale applications, right? Because at the end of the day, the computer is the greatest thinking tool ever developed, right? If I know the magically incantation necessary to punch holes in this card, I can get the computer to think for me, right? And that is a hugely, hugely powerful thing. You know, when we went around pitching this to folks, we labeled it a superpower, because that is fundamentally what it is. It is one of the only times that given a computer, you can start with nothing else and create something of immense value, right? Just by knowing how to punch these holes. And so that's what sort of ultimately led us to this project that we're working on now. And that project's name is Eve. And it is this idea, okay, I started with Visual Studio, trying to make programmers better. Realized that the tools are actually not all the problem, right? It's like the model of programming itself is a problem. Got to LightTable like, hey, the feedback is now there, so that makes it observable, but it wasn't quite the way there. And it was still a tool, right? We were still approaching this from a tool's perspective. Eve is, what would happen if we tried to solve this problem from the ground up, right? Ignoring basically everything that exists, what would you build if you could? If you could basically imagine building programming today, right? So the first approach to this, of course, as a programmer, was to take all of the things we thought were good about programming. And all of the sort of trends that were happening, like functional programming and mutability and all of these things, we'll put them all in a pretty little package and that's just gonna work. So the first prototype of this was a thing that I showed at Strange Loop, which is a software conference. Oh, is it not playing? Oh, there it goes. It was a software conference that sort of like deals with a lot of the more interesting sort of avant-garde ways of thinking about the world. And so the idea was, okay, we'll take functional programming and immutable data and we will put it in something that looks a lot like a Jupyter Notebook, right? And we'll make it so that you're like literally working with the data, right? I like right click on a thing and I tell it what I wanna do with it and you can see all the results and don't get hung up because it doesn't look super great at this point. I built this prototype in like four days but it was really interesting because it took a problem that would normally take quite a long time. Better part of a day, for example. So this was taking a bunch of data out of Mongo, doing so usage data out of Mongo and then doing some math on it and then getting a graph out of it, right? And all of this again was done by just sort of like dragging and dropping and right clicking on some things. And there were a bunch of interesting ideas in this. One is the idea that you're always kind of working with the domain itself. So you'll see here in a second, when I wanna write out some math, I actually do it in math. And by that I mean mathematical notation. Zoom ahead here, so I'm apparently being slow. Right, so I wanna sum over all the x's and divide it by the number and ta-da, I have average, yay. So the idea was right, like you're working, if you're working in a domain, let's say for example, I have my drone example again, right? If I'm working with a drone, there's a drone on the screen, right? Instead of describing a set of operations that I'm performing, I just move the drone around, right? And it's capturing what those steps were. And then I can parameterize them by data or get a chart or whatever I'm trying to do, right? So this was interesting and we took a much better, much prettier cleaned up version of this. We're like, this is awesome. We can build all sorts of things with it. Later in the video I show, I'll skip ahead. I show like building a website this way where you just have these tree of functions that do stuff. And it was interesting and cool. As a programmer, it was very exciting. And I happened to be at the opening of Brett Victor's laboratory, CDG in San Francisco. And there were all of these non-programmers, brilliant, brilliant people, physicists and mathematicians and all these people there, don't know how to program. And we set, like I said, a much better version of this in front of them and like, try it, right? We were like, we were excited, we were stoked. We're done, this is gonna be amazing. And actually the reactions were really positive. People liked it. They thought it was really interesting. They got why they would wanna use it. And then much to our horror, we watched them not be able to do anything in it, right? And I will never forget the reactions we got, which is they were trying so hard, right? And they were very well-meaning. They genuinely wanted this to work. So they were like willing to do things that most people probably would not really be willing to do. But there was this thing that surprised me, this thing that they struggled with. Out of all the things that I expected to find out in this, the hardest thing for the non-programmers to work with was scope. So in functional programming, you end up with these deeply nested set of functions, right? Everything is about this magical tree of functions that you're gonna call. And the reactions that we got were really obviously bad. So somebody would look at it and go, they had some data up at the top of the function stack and they had some calculation they wanted to do at the bottom of the stack, right? And they're like, I want this down here. And you're like, oh, look at, I mean, well, you'd have to pass that through all of these and you can't really do that. And they're like, I don't understand. I see it, it's right there. Why can't I use it here, right? Well, okay, fine. If I can't do that, can I use this up there? No, you can't really do that either. We'd have to thread it through going back up, right? It was like this really, I no longer believed the arguments I was making because you're like trying to understand, you're like, well, scope is really important, right? Like you need it for functions and functions are really important. And I don't know, that's like something we can't do, right? And so we tried to do a bunch of things. We tried to make this nicer. We're like, okay, well, we'll make it look prettier. And we tried to do a bunch of things to make the scoping thing less of an issue. So there was no variable shadowing. We had a much simpler version of scope. We do arrows, we colored things the same. We tried to do all of these different things. Nothing worked. It seemed like it was kind of like just this fundamental problem that was really hard to get over. And so that let us down this very odd line of questioning. Which is, well, if our first attempt at this, what the industry seems to think the future of programming is, is like I said, functional and immutable and yay. If that's not right, and scope is a kind of a problem which basically encompasses all of programming, where do we go from here, right? Like what does it mean to remove scope from programming? So if you think about it, without scope can have functions. So that's already scary to begin with. It also is that when you're building up these like nested data structures, they're creating scopes, right? You're starting to worry a lot about where something is in this tree of data. And you don't want to duplicate because you've put that data somewhere and you put it in another place, then they're gonna be out of sync and you have all these problems. It was another version of the scoping problem. So you can have functions. Can't really have data structures. If you don't have data structures, you don't have anything that can keep things in order anymore. So you don't have ordering. So if you think about what programming is, if you asked a career programmer what programming is, they would probably say an ordered set of steps, typically executing functions over a set of data. All of that falls away if you remove scoping. And so we started to look into, well, has anything ever worked this way, right? And there is at least one massively successful example that works exactly like this. And that is Excel, right? So Excel has a single data structure, but you don't work with the data structure directly. It has no scoping. If I can see a value, I can use it anywhere. It has no inherent ordering. It has scalar functions, but you're not like nesting these deeply, right? You're writing out basically equivalent of a mathematical formula and it never goes deeper than that. So it has all these properties and that is a fantastic result and also a terrible result. But a fantastic result first is a fantastic result because 800 million people use Excel every single day. It is unquestionably the most accessible thinking tool available to us. And people have done amazing, truly amazing things with Excel. I was telling the story at lunch that I had this opportunity to talk with some folks at a Fortune 500 company, right? And it's cruise line. And they have this spreadsheet. There was 10 gigs in size. They had been built up over a decade. No professional programmer had ever touched this spreadsheet, but it modeled the entirety of a Fortune 500 company's business. They could have nuked every other system and run it off of this spreadsheet, right? This is amazing, like totally utterly amazing. And so that's great. Now at the same time, Excel, this is the downside, Excel wasn't meant to do that kind of thing, right? So they would joke around. They're like, yeah, if we made any changes to the spreadsheet, we had to go to lunch because it took an hour and a half for it to propagate, right? And Excel is constrained, right? It's a two-dimensional grid of numbers. If your problem is not easily specified as a two-dimensional grid of numbers, kind of out of luck. So we looked a little bit more. And we found that there was one other case that worked this way. Again, massively successful. And that is relational databases. Relational databases have the same set of properties, right? They don't, you know, if you can see a value, you can use it anywhere. If you can see a table, you can use it, you know, barring access rules, basically. There's no inherent ordering, either to the code, the execution, any of it, right? Even the data has no inherent ordering. You order it as you will. And again, no, like, deeply nested functions or any of this crazy scope stuff going on. You just have basically functions and scalar values. And that is a great result, again, certainly not accessible like Excel, but it solves the other side of the equation. It is a flexible thing, right? The world runs on relational databases. At the end of the day, basically every bit of data ends up in one of them. And we have built games and websites, all the things you couldn't imagine really building in Excel. So we discovered this, like, hey, relational databases is an interesting case. Let's see what people have been saying about them recently, right? There's gotta be stuff other than Postgres out there that we can look into. And that's where we ended up on research out of here, actually. Joe Hellerstein's lab, the boom lab, had been working on a language called Bloom. And they were working on that language to do distributed systems. The idea behind it was that it was a query language, so a little bit like SQL, but it was based on Datalog. If you know what prologue is, it's kind of like prologue's little cousin. It does a lot less and is a lot simpler and is able to be a lot faster as a result. And they were building distributed systems. So they re-implemented Hadoop, right? And we were like, oh, that's really amazing because it was orders of magnitude smaller and all these great things. Could we build a website this way, right? Like, could we take this, maybe stretch it a little bit, think about it in a slightly different way and how far could we take it? So I built this prototype. This is ultimately actually the prototype we raised money on. And it's a very interesting thing because if you read what these little things do, we had an intuition, which is that prologue or Datalog or any of these is written in predicate logic. And predicate logic is pretty hard to get your head around. But if you think about it, it kind of looks like filling the blank sentences, like those mad lib books we had when we were kids, right? It's like, put a color here. And if you squint and you think of it that way, if you think of these predicates that way and you think of horn clauses as like, when you see this thing, do this thing, you get this kind of very natural way of thinking about it. So this is the incrementer button, right? That little button I was talking about before, say like, well, when I'm setting defaults, remember that the counter is zero. And when the counter has a value, draw this button. And when that button is clicked, change the counter as whatever its current value is to the current or to the value plus one, right? And so like I said, we built, you know, interesting things out of it. We always build to do MVC because that's what everyone builds. But started building interesting things out of it. And we started to realize this crazy way of programming, you know, that has no data structures, has no inherent ordering. When I built this prototype originally, I didn't even have aggregation, which is interesting. Sort of made us realize that a lot of the things we think are fundamentally necessary for programming just aren't, they just, you don't need them at all, actually. And sort of as an interesting example of this, not only yeah, we built this website and you could say, oh, well that's a toy or whatever. The IDE that it was written in was written in it. And I know a thing or two about building IDEs at this point. I've built a few. You know, Visual Studio is 55 million lines of code. Lighttable, which does far less than Visual Studio and was designed specifically to be as small as humanly possible, was over 10,000 lines of code. This was 600. Right, we're talking about a totally different way of thinking about the world. Not only was it 600 lines, it was written in a week in a language that had no tools that didn't even have aggregation, right? Like it had bugs in it and we still managed to write this in a week. And so that is a tremendously awesome result that we can take some of the things that Joe's group had learned about distributed systems and apply them more generally to these other places. And if you squint at this, it starts to kind of look like one of the holy grails of programming. It kind of starts to look like an executable, an English executable specification. I read it to you. And if you think about the description you would give of the incremental button, it's not very far from this, except maybe the when setting defaults part of it, right? And that's obviously pretty surprising and like really interesting, right? Again, this is one of those things we've wanted for forever. But we found out that actually this way of programming isn't that great. The whole, I, you know, a lot of people still think that the English specification is like the future of programming. If we ever get there, we've made it and we're kind of done. And I no longer believe that's true. The reason why, after having programmed this way for a little while, is that if you read an English specification, every line of that English requires you having understood and internalized every previous line that was written. Right, if you think about a big part of what makes programming hard, right? Or a big part of dealing with complex systems, being able to box parts of them up, right? Like, I don't need to know about this. I don't need to know about this. I can just like go with this. And these English specifications required you to basically understand the whole thing all the time. And yeah, they were shorter, so maybe you could reasonably do that. But when we actually tested this out with people and sat them in front of it, they were like, I can read these programs. I get what they're doing. No one was successful in writing one, right? Which is kind of interesting. And yeah, you could argue maybe it was our tooling, maybe it was our strategy, maybe it was whatever. But I think it's probably actually more fundamental than that. Like I said, I think it has to do with this context problem. That every line requires the context of all the previous long lines. And so we get, okay, let's try something totally different. We know this Excel thing works. Could we make it look like Excel, right? And so we started to realize that these operations, you could perform visually on tables because that's basically all that was going on here. And so in this example, it's gonna be a little hard to see, so don't worry about it too much. But what I'm doing is this is the first time Eve interacted with the outside world, it sent us a text message. And so what we did, we had this set of buttons down here at the bottom which you can't read, but it has our names on them. And if you clicked one of those buttons, it was gonna send that person a text message. And the way this worked was that there were these tables inside of our system that had event information in them and had the people in them. And then we would join those two things together. And now you can see every time I click on one of these, it has the information for Chris or Jamie or Rob and has the fake version of our phone numbers, but we actually did do this with our real phone numbers at one point. And so it's kind of like writing this thing in Excel again with some more interesting abilities than Excel usually has, right? We can join things. It had basically the properties of a relational database. And this was neat. It worked for some definition of worked. It allowed you to do relatively simple things, but we found a bunch of problems with it. For one, once you had this nice little table, you lost all context on where any of this information came from, which when you're building things, is actually pretty important information to know. You just have these values. They just have kind of like random names. But it did kind of prove to us that you could start maybe treating this as a very different problem. Maybe instead of thinking about like writing code, even if it were English code, maybe you could think of it as like operations on these tables and you could do it very visually and you could do it almost essentially just mouse driven, right? And it could look like Excel. We sort of ran into a bunch of roadblocks here. Like I said, just like a very simple example of this is not knowing where anything came from. But as you started building up these more complex tables, you realized that people don't really think of the data this way. They're like, they have to think about keys a lot, right? And like joining on the keys and it was still pretty hard. It wasn't the right solution. And it was shortly after this one that we're like, well guys, I don't know yet about how to do the whole like make this thing accessible, but can we at least prove that it's a good idea, right? That the foundation of this is a good idea. Because we had essentially broken this problem up into several problems. The first was, could we find a version of programming that was very simple, right? And by that I mean of few parts. And that version of programming has to be something that I could use as well as it's gonna work on Excel like problems too, right? So it had to be a general purpose language. But it needed to be very simple. And so we really, really liked the stuff out of the boom lab. And we had built some interesting things but we wanted to deal with it more. We wanted to really try and develop some stuff with it and see what happened. And so we built this prototype which given how much time do I have? Oh, not too much time. I'll show you very, very briefly what this looked like. So we had this thing, don't worry about what this looks like. But, so you know, here's a clock, right? We can zoom in a little bit. And everything in this language, like I said, it's just like kind of like sequel basically, which is kind of this weird way of thinking about the world where all you're ever doing is querying. And specifically actually you're building views in our case which are queries that are always up to date, more or less. And so very first thing sticks a row in a timer table, which generates a timer for me. And that's what runs this clock. And then down here we have this line which pulls in from the timetable which is what that timer sticks values into. And then we aggregate over that timetable to get the latest time and then we just turn it into hours, minutes and seconds. And then we draw our clock and this is just me being bad at math. And then they had this little language down here that allowed you to describe UI. And we never, what's interesting about this language is you never describe how things change. Basically all you're ever doing is like asking a question and formatting the result of that question. You build all sorts of crazy things this way. Yeah, we build a clock. That's interesting. Of course, we built to do MVC, right? Can't not have to do MVC. We also built a Turing machine just to be sure. So that is in there. And what's interesting is once again, we bootstrapped it. So everything you saw being rendered on the right hand side, all of those tables, all of the UI, even so this thing was actually pushing processes distributed. So it would run your program in another thread and then subscribe to that other thread and pull data in. This entire little thing here was written in 200 lines. This is all of it right here. So again, this is like totally like crazy way of thinking about the world, but it kind of works, right? And so it was from this prototype that we started to realize, okay, we don't yet know how in the world we're gonna present this to people, but this seems like a pretty sound model to build off of, right? There are definitely problems that we have to figure out. There's performance and interesting things there. Although surprisingly, if you reduce your language to only operations on a B tree, which is what a query language ends up doing, it ends up being pretty fast kind of by default. But there's still lots of interesting work to do there, but the foundation is solid. The foundation can express the kinds of things we want to express and we just have to figure out how to show it. I don't know how to get back to my presentation. So we tried again. This time, I don't know why, but we ended up going back to the Excel thing. But this time we had something a little bit more interesting which was you could actually build UI and this was the first time that you had like a drag and drop UI builder. And I know that's a little hard to see, but I dragged out a button there, right? And we're gonna build the incrementer example. And I'm gonna give my button a name, we'll call it incrementer. And there's this little button down here that says get the clicks for that button, which is just a table. Everything is always just a table, right? If data's gonna come from the outside world, it gets shoved into a table. If you wanna do something to the outside world, we shove it into a table and something out there kinda looks for it and does something with it. So every time I click, I got a row in this table and then incrementer button is just counting the number of rows in the table, right? And this had that Excel thing going on. So you wrote like an Excel formula in here. You said count them. And then you could just drag that column onto the button and that was now bound, now it's sort of like data bound it to the button. And yeah, it was asking me what to bind it to, bind it to the text and ta-da, an incrementer button. So what a problem that took, we would take a professional programmer easily 30 minutes to do, assuming they knew what they were doing and if they don't, who knows how long, could take 30 seconds, right? Like we could be much better at this if we thought about the problem slightly differently. That one, again, suffered from the same problems that I described before, which was that you lost all the context when you're building up these tables and it didn't really fit the model very well. So we tried this other thing, we were like, hey, the UI builder thing worked out pretty well. Let's clone Foursquare, let's clone a production ready website and see what that looks like. And we built each time, right, we build a new Eve to try and do this, try and understand it and we test it with people. This one was good enough to build a production ready clone of Foursquare. It was abysmal doing it. It was really, really bad, although not because of the UI editor, that worked out really well. But the way we wrote queries in this was really awkward. We tried to mix the two. So we had the tables, right, and then we had the information, basically the sources of all the information from the tables up at the top and it kind of looked like a SQL-y looking language. It was just bad. It's hard to explain exactly what was so bad about it until you use it and you fully realize exactly how bad it is. I don't have enough time to show it and I don't want to be ashamed, so I'm gonna skip that one. But it was still interesting. It was the first time we did not have to write any code to build a real website, right? You could do this purely without typing anything, more or less. Which was interesting, again, but it still wasn't right. So the next step after this was what we initially released, so we're all open source and this is what we pushed out when we open sourced. And it was based on this intuition that, well, all of our attempts of writing queries not in a query language that a programmer would understand have kind of been crappy. But we had this intuition that when we passed around queries to each other, we drew them on the board and we drew them as what looked like entity relationship diagrams, if you know what those are, little bubbles with lines between them. And we realized, well, if we draw them that way to explain them to each other, could we make them work? And we hesitated going in this direction because we know lots of problems with this kind of visual programming. And we had even built the boxes and arrows version of this long, early in our process and realized this is not gonna work. But this is a very different property because what you're describing is not a set of steps or a data flow. You're describing a shape. You're saying, I am looking in the database for a shape. And specifically, this is a famous shape. It's known as the three-click query or the triangle of friends, basically a friend was a friend of a friend was a friend. This happens to be a notoriously difficult thing in databases to optimize for. And you'll notice it has this wonderful property. I asked for a triangle, so I represent it as a triangle. This is one of the first times that people seem to understand relatively complex queries without us having to explain much of anything to them. A very simple set of things. And they were like, oh, okay, triangle of friends. It's a triangle, right? And then, you know, here's a slightly more complicated one where you're getting the, you know, you have a bunch of departments and you're trying to find out what percentage of the total cost each department is. So there's a bunch of aggregations going on in here and then you're dividing those to get the percentage. And this was really interesting because like I said, it was the first time people could understand it. It didn't suffer from the same scaling problems that data flow, like visual data flow languages do because your shapes never get that big, right? It's not like you're describing the entire flow of a program which could be, you know, of infinite size basically. These were you're only ever asking for some shape and it looked roughly like this. And so it seemed to scale halfway decently. It was really hard to build systems in it though. And we learned that this focus on individual queries and results wasn't really the right thing. It sort of, it took you away from what you were actually caring about, which is the data, right? You're always asking a question to get an answer back. And this focused a lot on the question and a lot less on the answer. And these like units ended up creating these silos that you then did a lot of back and forth with. It was a lot like how you deal with, you know, if you're building a program and you have a bunch of different files, right? And you're like going back and forth because the functionality one is across four or five different files. Well, you have the same problem in this but exacerbated where, you know, it's like only looking at one function at a time, right? Okay, so we zigzag because that's what we did. And we tried, hey, let's take the madlib looking thing, the fill in the blank sentence thing. Let's put it in a notebook like the very first one. Let's focus a little bit more on the answer and let's make it a little bit more visual and let's see what happens. So we wrote this. And this was interesting because this one would allow, you could actually like talk to it. So we did this, I put this, I got it running on my phone and phones have dictation on them now as you could literally just like tell it a query, right? And it would just give you an answer back which is really interesting and cool. Like that's a compelling place to eventually be. But we found that unlike in like the Jupiter case where you're kind of like writing out the set of steps you got to an answer for, we're talking much more like these are all live, right? They're changing, they're not captured in time. So the linearity of a notebook is a really bad solution to this problem because it implies that this, then this, then this, then this, which is not true in this world, right? So you might do something at the bottom that would totally change the first thing and that didn't fit the model very well. And also it still feels like programming. You're still kind of doing this joining stuff. You had to know the names of the things you were looking for, right? Not the names of like Chris but like the names of the relations. Is friends with or you know, has a house, right? Which again is a hard thing because who knows what they are. If you didn't write them, you kind of have to guess. And yeah, we could build tools that help you navigate that. But you're talking about lots of them. It's, it doesn't matter what tools you have, right? Okay, so we love the foundation. We still hadn't figured any of this like UI stuff out where we tried. We had built basically 30 versions of Eve at this point, right? And we were like, okay, we're clearly doing something wrong. What assumption are we starting from that screwing us up? And I think the assumption was, and once we threw it out, it like cleared things up a bunch, was that we were still approaching this as if we were building a programming environment, right? And the idea wasn't to, it wasn't really to make programming environments, right? The idea was to enable a thinking tool. And a thinking tool doesn't have to look like a programming environment. So stop, basically. And where we are now, and the thing that we've decided to commit to, because it's tested extremely well, and we're extremely excited about it, doesn't look like programming at all. Not even a little bit. So I'm going to show it to you a little bit. So we have this box, and it's kind of like a search box. It's just a really fancy search box, more or less. So I'm in the system. If we look up Chris Granger, there's not a lot about me. Here, I'll make it a little bit bigger. It's not a lot about me, but it says I am an employee at Kodawa. That's the company that we run. I have a salary of 20, which is way too high. We'll change that. I have a salary of two. And so this is actually kind of like a wiki, interestingly enough. If you know much about wikis, this is what's called a semantic wiki with some changes to it that make it a lot more powerful than semantic wikis typically are. But the idea here is important. One of the things we found, every time we focused on the excels like way of representing things, was that people don't think of their data as like tables a lot of the time, right? A lot of the data that we really wanna put into a system for thinking, yeah, some of it is gonna look like a table and you should be able to do that. But a lot of it doesn't. A lot of it's stuff like random stuff about Chris. And I'm just gonna like write random properties that I happen to know about him at the time, right? That like I have a salary of two and his height is really short, right? And now to die, that data is just available there for me now and I can start to ask questions about it. So what is Chris Granger's salary? Well, it's two. What about his height? The thing that I just add, hey, he's short, right? So this has this very, very fluid way of working with information. What's interesting about it is, again, one of the problems with this navigation thing I was talking about before, right? You have to know the names of all these relations and all that stuff. Well, in this case, they're just links, right? Like here are all the things that I'm related to. It even tells me down here that I'm related to another thing called engineering. And if I go there, I see the engineering card and here are all the engineers at Kodawa. And that's interesting and I can like dive around in these just like you could on Wikipedia, right? And that's actually a really interesting thing because, A, we know Wikipedia works. B, if you could imagine at Wikipedia where all the data was available to you to ask much more complex questions, that's a pretty compelling idea. So for example, we know that there are departments and I can look and it says, oh, there are two departments here. This is just sort of generated by the system, right? If I add a new card that says it is a department it'll just show up here. But let's do something interesting with it. Like, let's sum the salaries per department. So if you think about what just happened there this is important. There is no direct link between department and salary. Departments don't have salaries. Employees have salaries, right? But because of the way the data is structured we can trivially figure that out for you so that you can say it in this very natural way, right? I don't need to say, well, first get all the employees then link them to the department then group them by that and then sum them. And actually if you wanna see we can actually see exactly what it chose to do. They can pop it open and it says, oh, it actually just gave you the process I just described, gather departments, gather the employees related to those, look up their salary, group them and sum them. But instead you just ask this very straightforward question, right? And you can see it gives us back this nice data table here and this is another important thing. It shows you exactly how it got that answer. So this is something that SQL will leave you in the dust with. When you start to do things like grouping you start aggregating all the aggregands are lost, right? All the things you aggregated over are gone. One of the things that's amazing about this way of working is that we know where every aspect of the information comes from. We have complete and total provenance information. And so we can show it to you. This is exactly how we calculated the number 16. Here are the people that went into it. Okay, so I said, I mean, that's cool. We can ask questions, get an answer. But this isn't programming yet. You need to be able to format the results into something interesting. That's when you get programming. That's when you get change and stuff. So the way we do that is just by adding a card. So we call these cards. And what we wanna do is we wanna say, this is like a placeholder, we wanna take the department for each department up there, right? And we're gonna say something new about that department. We're gonna say, well, that department has a total cost. And that total cost is equal to the sum that we have there. And you'll see, now we have this little card down here. And nothing looks like it's changed, but if we go back to engineering, you'll now see there's a new value down here at the bottom of this card. This is engineering has a total cost of 16. I can now compute over that. So we can start to say, departments with their total cost. Right? It's just new information. And so this is like almost like a Wiki where you can ask a question and then generate new information as a result of that. And that is enough to build anything. You can build compilers this way. You can build websites this way. You can do all sorts of crazy stuff. But what I think is the most compelling is that you don't need to build an application to do anything here. For the most part, you could just work in this, right? You could just sit here and continue to ask questions and set up these little rules that you have to do very interesting things. So for example, let's go back to Chris and let's make my salary crazy again. Which is way too much money, right? And if we go back to, let's get the total cost of departments. You know, it doesn't really matter how I write this for the most part. Total cost of the departments. You'll see it's 34. And actually, you know what? Let's change this around and we'll say that departments with a total cost greater than 20, right? So this is actually a full query language. You can write all sorts of crazy stuff in here. And what we'll say is that those departments are, this department is overspending, right? And now if we go to engineering, do I not do it correctly? I forgot what I called it, two, two important. All right, departments with a total cost greater than 20 and this department is overspending. If it doesn't work this time, we'll do it. All right, good. So there you go. Now this department is overspending and now I can again start to ask questions about that. Get all the departments that are overspending, send their heads an email, right? And the interesting thing is all of this stuff is live. So if I come down here and open another one and go back to Chris Granger, you'll see my engineering has a total cost of 34. That's because I have this really high salary. But if I go and I change it back to two, all goes away. It's 16, right? This is all live. I never describe how things change. As they change, it's just views over the data. And so I was gonna show an example here that I thought was funny. So there's the Apple, the recent Apple keynote. They showed a thing that got a lot of people really excited. So they showed on the Apple TV, you can now talk to Siri and have it find you. The example that the specific query they gave was episodes of modern family that contain Edward Norton, right? So we can do that. So we can say episodes of modern family with Edward Norton. There you go. That happens to be the only one. We can also say, well, how about without Edward Norton? How about we count them? Right? This way of working allows you to just very easily, very fluidly just start to ask questions. And I think that the craziest realization for me and all of this has been, if we took a step back and stopped thinking about this as programming for a moment, right? We managed to come up with a thing that doesn't look like programming anymore. It's just asking questions and formatting results. And that encompasses all of the things we wanna do. And that is like an amazing result to me. That is a fascinating thing. And there's still lots of work to do here, right? I'm not saying we've done it. And I have no idea really what programming is gonna look like in 10 years. But my hope is that whatever programming does look like that it looks nothing like the programming we have now, right? The programming we have now, the last thing I want is you guys who are trying to cure cancer or who are trying to understand the cosmos or whatever you're doing, have to worry about Unicode or have to worry about event ordering or these ridiculous things that have nothing to do with the amazing stuff you were trying to do. I don't want it to look like that at all, right? Because at the end of the day, like I said, the real goal here is a thinking tool. And that is what we have to get back to. And again, it's not a thinking tool for just me, right? I want to remove the cards. I don't want you to have to punch the holes anymore. And I want it to be able to think for a soul. So there you go, that's my spiel.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZQoAKJPbh8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Nontraditional Medical Students (MEMORABLE STORIES TO GET IN!!)// Nontraditional medical students offer a great deal to the medical field. My Nontraditional Premed Journey to Medical School can look like corporate experience, technology experts, engineers, teachers. There is really no one non traditional journey to medical school; however, non traditional medical school applicant should add a couple extra dimensions to their personal statement so they demonstrate how their non traditional pre med experience adds value to their candidacy. Non traditional students medical school should couch their experiences within both medical and non medical circumstances to show growth and lessons learned which in turn make them a strong non traditional medical student. Further, a non traditional medical school will value students with varied experiences and points of view. So join write your acceptance and let’s chat details on getting into medical school motivation. Med school programs for nontraditional students are out there, writing your best personal statement will transform you from a non traditional med school applicant to the best medical school applicant.

They have the most interesting stories, just super enriching and thoughtful. And now thinking about which stories should make it into the personal statement, which stories should not can be tricky. Stick around, let's talk about it. Thank you so much for joining me on my channel. This is Write Your Acceptance. Make sure you hit that subscribe button and the bell so you don't miss a video. Although non-traditional pre-meds are answering the same exact prompt, there are three questions I urge non-trads to really ask themselves because that will inform what kind of deviations in their personal statement they should have. Hi, I'm Dr. Josie with Write Your Acceptance. After teaching over 15 years in higher education, mostly on college level writing and working in writing centers with students on their personal statements, leading workshops, and just working with hundreds of students at this point, I know what they're looking for. And so let's really parse through and think about how you can maximize your candidacy. It's your turn. So question one that every non-traditional pre-med should ask or address somewhere in their personal statement is the why now. So why are you ready to kind of undertake this incredible effort and journey of going to medical school, right? Why this moment in your personal life? Why this moment in your intellectual life, in your professional life? And I want you to think about this. It may not kind of translate directly to your personal statement, but at some point it will inform kind of the why now will inform your personal statement for sure. So you definitely want to kind of consider it and maybe even think about where explicitly you want to kind of mention that. Now there's a difference between students who studied English, art history, philosophy, and did their pre-med. So that version of non-traditional and then there is the kind of I worked as a lawyer for four years or I was a teacher teaching high school for two years before kind of going back to school doing my pre-rex and then applying to medical school, right? This is more for the latter. If you are still chronologically on the same path, you may want to consider how the non-traditional major that you pursued along with your pre-rex informed and kind of compliments your purview, your vantage point, how it makes you kind of interesting and more thoughtful in a way. So that may be interesting, but the why now is really for kind of students that have or professionals that have been out of the game completely for a while and then coming back. Why are you ready to kind of undertake this now? Question two is how has your professional career enriched and served as an advantage to your new journey now, to your shift in career choices in your calling? Many times I see students writing this essay and they spend way too much time on why engineering is not for them, like let's say if they were engineers, and then too little time on why medicine, right? And you want to kind of flip that completely. I even tell students, be weary of poo-pooing your kind of former career, your former self, right? I would consider kind of bringing in the positive attributes. So how does it kind of serve to enrich your candidacy? How is it an asset today and can you bring to the table that is different than a traditional student, right? You're not comparing yourself, but you are kind of spinning positive the kind of how enriching the previous career has been for you and the way you think about the world and how you value kind of your position within your social and professional kind of communities. So like for example, I had a student who worked as an engineer for a few years before going back to do their pre-rex or some pre-rex that they missed and then applying to med school. And they were shadowing a physician, a surgeon, and one of the kind of instruments just like stopped working. And so his engineer brain kind of clicked on and he kind of immediately thought about how he could kind of like improve the instrument, how he could kind of revamp the the procedure all together. Not in a kind of I know what it's like to be a surgeon because you don't want to do that, but his kind of engineering prowess came in and he thought about how to kind of fine tune the instrument. And so it was very quick, very brief, but it was a very interesting way of showing how his brain functions a little differently. And it was very interesting then follow up conversation with the ortho surgeon afterward. And so he really kind of got a lot out of that shadowing experience and then that follow up conversation about kind of the actual surgery and kind of how the surgeon was able to kind of improvise. So to give you kind of, you know, info on how they did it, the intro paragraph was this anecdote that I kind of talked to a little bit about. And then the next paragraph was like how strategic thinking and planning and solving real world problems was something that he really was able to develop and fine tune as an engineer and how he then aspired to bring that to medicine. And then he went straight into kind of a couple of patient-centric examples and experiences that he has had recently. So it really focuses on the journey of why medicine, right, but that he was able to kind of double down and use and kind of maximize his experience as an engineer through an experience. So like showing the experience and then kind of offering its valuation, right, then reflecting upon the lesson learned and the takeaway. Do you have a tech background? I've worked with students who have worked in Google at NJIT in big data. And so I've seen them kind of in interesting, curious ways weave in their information. So one experience was they talked about how they use data tracking and real-time analysis about patient experiences while in the hospital to really kind of improve just overall feel good morale of the patients in a specific hospital that they were shadowing and volunteering at. So they were able to bring in their big data kind of scientist lens and help improve kind of patient experience in a way while learning a dimension of medicine, which was great. So that I thought was a very interesting way of showing their kind of intellectual rigor and what they bring while still kind of being about medicine. So another one I see a lot is education. So an applicant who has been a science and biology teacher or history teacher for a few years and now is coming into or back into a medicine if they were pre-med. So they sometimes ask me, you know, how can I bring in this experience? And so you can consider how maybe you brought science to life for students. You can consider how doctors are teachers or educators of wellness for their patients, right? It's not just about diagnosis and prescription, but you're also kind of educating your patients. So think about how kind of the overlaps there and what you've learned about education and age appropriate education, how to be kind of honest and direct, but also engaging. So think about kind of how you can weave in your information. And then sometimes you want to bring in an experience, but you don't have like a neat medicine connection. That's fine. Consider it as your bookend. Consider it as a story that you start with in your personal statement and kind of weave it as to what lesson has it taught you that then you bring to medicine and then you can kind of come back to it at the end of the personal statement. So that's something you can also do too. One example that I saw while working with a student, they were, it was like Sten Saturdays and they were kind of like volunteering for this program and they were dissecting cow eyes and there was a student in the background not very engaged, not very interested whatsoever. And she went back there and started talking to her, realized that she didn't speak English. So it was a cultural linguistic barrier, not a disinterested kind of a lack of connection to the material. And so the student actually spoke Spanish. They were bilingual. They were able to kind of connect with the student. The student had grown up in a farm. And so then they were talking about cows. They were talking about kind of different kind of fun engaging ways of bringing the student to the actual kind of middle school student into the fold into the kind of lesson and inspiring a future physician there or future kind of scientist. So however wording that was for the student and then why that was kind of a formative moment for them within education and then kind of bridging education and kind of science. Are you a non-traditional student but don't know how to weave in your story? Comment below. I'd love to hear you out. So ultimately you may not have the typical background that your traditional pre-med does, right? But that may be an asset and a strength. I think if there's one takeaway from this video is that is that you want to think about less why being an engineer or a teacher is no longer for you and more how the traits and values and skills that you have acquired and developed and really fine-tuned is an asset or an asset now to you as an applicant and will be as a medical student. So definitely think about that kind of spinning it to really showcase what you bring to the table in a multi-dimensional way. And then question three, it's really related to one and two, but I need to kind of make sure that it is emphasized. It's basically kind of remember the prompt. It is your journey to medicine, right? So make sure that every experience and every kind of major moment in the essay is really kind of doubling down on that. So like I mentioned, right? Like too many students kind of talk about their career or why engineering is no longer for them and not why medicine. So focus most of the experiences on kind of medically related experiences, patient-centric experiences, those are the best or for me, they're the best because they show you an action, they show you adaptable to other people's needs and really kind of showcase that prolonged commitment that this wasn't something that you just woke up one day and said, hey, I'll become a doctor. That once that spark moment happened that you're like, okay, medicine is really for me that you've taken kind of, you know, action to really establish yourself within medical contexts and experiences to really kind of clarify this calling, right, that you have taken the time to continue this commitment recently. And so that you have successfully entered medical spaces and can see yourself there, right, accurately. So thank you so much for watching. I hope this was helpful. If it was, give us a like. I offer free 15 minute strategy calls to talk about your personal statement. If you like, it's in the description. We can chat about how I work with students and I can give you my take on your journey and your story. And yeah, so that's in the description. Definitely check that out and come back soon. Thank you so much for watching. Bye.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZua0imYqco", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Now this is a powerful verse because it's foundational to your understanding of the prophetic. All true prophetic ministry focuses on Jesus. The moment the focus of the prophetic ministry becomes about the prophet, it's no longer a prophetic ministry. The moment the prophetic ministry becomes primarily about something else, it's no longer a prophetic ministry. But so long as the prophetic ministry remains fixed, focused, attentive on Jesus himself, it's a prophetic ministry. Jesus is the focus of prophecy. Jesus is the centerpiece of prophetic declaration. Jesus is the purpose ultimately of the prophetic. If Jesus is the focus of prophecy, the word is the foundation of prophecy. Now if the word is not your foundation, you're going to find yourself wandering into the strange and the bizarre. I know of many anointed prophetic ministries that started well, but because the emphasis was on the gift, because the emphasis was on the wow factor, because the emphasis was on something else other than Jesus, over time the focus began to change. And what happened was, in many cases, ministries shut down. Please hear me, people lost their minds. You get into the prophetic, and if you're not grounded in the word, you'll lose your mind. You'll lose your focus. You will lose your sanity. Why? Because you're delving into the spiritual realm. When you're prophetic, you move into realms beyond this world. Think about that. Really think about what the nature of prophecy is. You are seeing, hearing, looking into, entering into a whole different realm. And if you enter that realm, if you catch a glimpse of that realm, if you listen to that realm, but you're not grounded in the word, you're not focused on the person of Jesus. My friend, you will lose your mind. You will lose your ministry. You will lose everything you hold dear in your spiritual life if you lose your focus on Jesus. So I want to give you these scriptures, I'm going to read a few scriptures, just as a foundation, because I need to. You really do need to hear this. I mean, I could just jump right into the nine signs, but you really do need to hear this introduction, because this is going to lay a firm foundation for you. Jesus is the substance of the spiritual realm. The moment you remove him from the equation, you have no absolute, you have no grounding and you're wandering, searching, flailing through the spirit world. Now Jesus is the focus of prophecy and the word is the foundation. Second Peter 1 19 through 21 says this. We have also a more sure word of prophecy where unto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place until that day. And the day star arise in your hearts knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation, excuse me. So here the scripture is telling us that there is a firm foundation. The scripture is telling us that we do have a more sure word. Verse 21, for the prophecy came not in all time by the will of man, but holy men of God's spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. So Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, the focus of prophecy. The word is the foundation of prophecy. Now here's what prophecy does, 1 Corinthians 14 3, but he that prophesied, speaketh unto men to edification and exhortation and comfort. So now here we see the three things that prophecy does, edification, exhortation and comfort. Now exhortation and comfort that's encouragement, that's comfort, edification can sometimes be correction. So some people use this verse to try to say well that sounds too mean or that sounds too harsh. That couldn't possibly be the prophetic gift. Then in fact edification has to do with correction. Edification has to do with setting straight, making right. 1 Corinthians 12 7 says a spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. Now this is different than the office of the prophet. I'm talking about a prophetic nature or a prophetic gift. So what I'm going to give you here are nine signs of the prophetic nature. I'm not talking about the office of the prophet, I'm talking about prophetic nature. So the prophetic office would be a whole different message for a whole different time and these signs wouldn't necessarily be the only things that indicate the office of a prophet. So I want to talk to you about nine signs of your prophetic nature. But before I do Steve, how's the chat doing? So the chat's doing amazing right now. Alright guys go ahead and like, comment and share this stream. I think this message is so timely for a lot of people because we're living in times right now where we need clarity, we need a new fresh word from the Lord especially with the things going on. So sit tight guys, stay focused with us. I left in the comment section, make sure you're taking notes. So like I said you never know what the Holy Spirit will drop right onto you while you're listening to this message. So continue to write notes, continue to like, continue to comment and continue to share this stream. Sign number one, sign number one, discernment. First Corinthians 12-10 says, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another diverse kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues, this is 1 Corinthians 12-10. So this here is talking about the discernment or the discerning between two spirits. Now let me make this clear, being judgmental, being suspicious, being negative is not the same as being prophetic. There are some people who are very, very, very suspicious, very, very, very cynical, very judgmental, and they try to pass off their cynicism as discernment when it's not. The gift of discernment is not the gift of criticism. It's simply the ability to see what spirit someone is coming in, whether it be the Holy Spirit, whether it be a demonic spirit, whether it be the spirit of man. Keep in mind that when someone teaches something you don't like, or when someone preaches with the style that you don't prefer, or when someone looks a certain way that you don't trust, that's when the flesh rises. I know certain people who, if someone with tattoos is talking, instantly they can't listen to it. Wow. I know other people, if they see a man in a suit instantly, their guard goes up, they can't listen to them. Wow. I remember my brother-in-law used to be in a band, it was a hardcore band, and if you don't know what hardcore music is, it's very loud music. I was never a fan of the music style, but I did see the benefit that it had for a season in that there were many Christian hardcore bands going around the United States playing shows and preaching the gospel. And people would come by the hundreds, sometimes the thousands to hear these bands, and that would be the opportunity that they would use to preach the gospel. And I remember my brother-in-law's band is playing, and their band is playing a song that's evangelistic, talking about coming to the cross, talking about getting your sins forgiven, and so forth. People got saved that night. People gave their hearts to the Lord, many of whom I know who are still saved to this day. They got saved at these hardcore shows. Again, I was never personally a fan, but the style of the music, though it was abrasive, carried a message that was powerful. And I'll never forget, there was a lady who attended that concert, and she's sitting in there, and you could just tell she's not happy with the music being played. She goes out to the parking lot, someone followed her there and said, are you okay? And she's like near tears. She says, the Holy Spirit is just so grieved. The Holy Spirit is just so grieved by this music. And she had the performance down. She had the spiritual sounding voice and the tears going and whatnot, but that woman wasn't speaking for the Holy Spirit. I can tell you because even though I really, really, really disliked the music, I could see the power of God working. In fact, I saw demons, I kid you not. I saw demons manifesting at these hardcore shows. They would sing, Steve, you remember some of these, sometimes they would sing, and as they're singing, demons start manifesting in people, and teenagers started getting delivered from drug addictions and alcohol addictions and all sorts of things. It was powerful, powerful. And so I'm looking at this wonderful move of the Holy Spirit, and this woman is sitting in the service and because she didn't like the sound of the music, because the lights weren't bright enough for her, because the music reminded her of things that she thought were ungodly, she allowed her own personal feelings, her own personal emotions to be mistaken for the voice of the Holy Spirit. And so she goes around saying, this grieves the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is so grieved. When in fact the Holy Spirit was working, the Holy Spirit was moving. So the gift of discernment, or at least the ability to discern, which are one and the same, these abilities are not in and of themselves the only sign that you need to know that you are prophetic in nature, though discernment is a prophetic gift. But it's important to know that this is a sign that you could be prophetic. The ability to see. In other words, you can see it coming before others can. You can tell when something's not quite right and please be careful with that. That's why I'm mentioning the fact that some people go with their personal preferences. For example, there's a friend of mine who I was working with for a long time trying to get him on the Sid Roth program. For those of you who don't know what the Sid Roth program is, it's a tremendous opportunity and many of the ministries that I know that have been on the program saw wonderful growth after being featured on the show. So there was this friend of mine and I told him, I said, we can get you on the Sid Roth program. Your ministry will explode. It's going to be a widespread reach that you'll gain. I already know what I said. That audience would love you. And so for I Could You Not, maybe a year and a half, almost two years, we were working with different organizations, publishers, and the producers themselves and trying to get my friend onto the program. And so one day I'm sitting at lunch, Steve, you were there. We're sitting at lunch. It's me, Steve, Sid Roth, and some other people there who were going to be on the program. I don't remember who was on that day. And I thought this is a great opportunity to bring this up. And so I said, Sid, there's this prophetic gift that you must know of. There's this person who's bold, who's powerful. I mean, I just went on kind of like the whole thing. And so Sid turns to one of the producers. He said, whoever David's talking about, get them on the top of the list. And so I'm thinking, yes, we got it. It's done. So it all worked out. This person was able to get onto the program. And I'm watching the program. I'm excited. Like, I see it come out on Sid Roth's Facebook. And I'm watching this. I'm going, oh, wonderful. OK, finally, this guy gets on. And I was just rejoicing that we were seeing fruit from it already. Like, after the first post, he's already starting to get a bunch of responses. I'm like, yes, yes, yes. OK, this is awesome. Sing ministries grow. So I'm cheering him on. I'm watching the video. And then I scroll down into the comments section, just because I like to read testimonies. I scroll down into the comments section. And I see somebody put probably one of the most foolish statements I've ever seen. They said, I don't know. Something just doesn't sit right in my spirit with this. Hmm. And I thought, if you were really talking about your spirit, your spirit would recognize this is of God. But see, here's what people do. They say something in my spirit, something in my spirit. No, no, no. That's not the spirit. That's sometimes your own personal preference, your own emotions, your own thought patterns, your own ideas about the way God should move. It could be your own jealousy. Wow. You see God raising someone, and because they're not you, your spirit has an issue with it. Supposedly, your spirit. Now, that was interesting enough to see that. But when I'm watching this, I noticed other people began to comment on his page. So you gotta imagine this. I'm watching my friend, who we worked about a year and a half to get him on. He gets on the show, and then I see this person put that foolish comment about this individual, and then they start to write something doesn't sit right in my spirit, and then people start to pile on that. Someone else comments, you know what? I was gonna say something, but I was, I kept my mouth shut, then I read your comment, now I know this was God. And that doesn't confirm anything. You ever noticed that people do that? They look for people to confirm what they're supposedly discerning? Ooh, I saw the same thing, or ooh, I noticed that. Oh yeah, to me, something seemed off as well, so I'm gonna agree with you. And what that's called is confirmation bias. You can pick any man or woman of God, you can pick any move of the Holy Spirit, you can pick any church, any worship ministry, any YouTube channel, any Facebook page, anything that God is using, and you'll find a group of people who don't feel right in their spirit about it. And I'm quoting that. They don't feel right, this just doesn't sit right. And then they'll comment something, or they'll say something, and someone else, oh yeah, me too. And then that confirms it in their minds there, we heard from the Lord, that was the Holy Spirit telling us, no, no, it was just a group of jealous people, critical people, judgmental people, unspiritual people commenting on this guy's feed, and then jumping on to confirm supposedly what the Holy Spirit is saying. And we do these sorts of things all the time as the church. We say foolish things like this. So discernment is a sign that you have a prophetic nature, but please don't mistake your own personal preferences for the voice of the Holy Spirit, they're not the same. And just because you don't like something, just because something challenges you. You know, I dealt with this myself. There was a couple instances where I went to go hear someone preach, and the preacher said something that I didn't like. So what did I do? Oh, my spirit just doesn't feel right about this. That's what I said to myself, this is not of God. And then I remember one instance in particular, when I was watching this preacher, went to go see him preach, I'm listening to him, and I'm just kind of complaining to myself, you know, that's not of God, or he didn't hear the Lord, or that, where's that in the Bible? You know, kind of like trying to affirm my own misgivings about what I was hearing. So I get in the car, and I'm just telling myself on the right home, that wasn't God, that wasn't God, and the Holy Spirit spoke to me. The Holy Spirit spoke to me. And he said, no, you're just being convicted by what he said. Now, here's the thing about the Holy Spirit. He won't hold back, because he loves us too much. So here I am sitting there, all critical, judgmental, arms folding. This is not of God, this is not of God. And the Holy Spirit says, no, you're just being convicted. And that's what happens sometimes. People preach things from the word of God that contradict beliefs that we hold dear. Ideas that are deeply rooted in our hearts. And when God tries to speak to us, we spiritualize our stubbornness. Please hear me now, people of God. We spiritualize our stubbornness. Something's not right about that guy. Well, consider that that guy's speaking truth, and you just don't like the truth. So when I talk of discernment, again, this is not the same as being judgmental, suspicious, negative, or anything like that. This is spirit-led truth in humility. You know, one of the greatest ways to sharpen your discernment is the word of God, not your personal preferences. Had I not listened to the Holy Spirit, then I would have dismissed completely God using those hardcore bands that I was talking about toward the beginning of this point. Right. I would have just dismissed them all. I don't like the music, I don't like the look, I don't like this, let's not God. All sorts of moves of the Holy Spirit. Now, if something contradicts the word, of course, we correct that, but you don't throw the whole thing out. You're the discerner of spirits, not the discerner of people. Come on. That guy is not of, wait a minute, wait a minute. If it's a servant of God, if it's a child of the king, if it's your brother, your sister, if you agree on the Lord, ask yourself, are you dismissing what you're discerning or are you dismissing the person as a whole? And remember, often this can be jealousy. Often this can be your emotions. It also could be your bad experiences with certain types of people. So if one preacher kind of reminds you of another preacher who did you wrong, guess what? You're gonna somehow find a way, your flesh will try to at least find a way to discern something in them that's off. And that's not of God. So I'm gonna move to my next point on the next sign. I see Joanne commenting and Kara Mia says that's good. Roseanne says like Morgan Ellen, L-O-L, that's right. Latest Ortiz, Kara Mia, Planet Shakers, God has given us the spirit to discern what's good and what is evil, that's so true. And then Tanaka Russell says spiritualizing our stubbornness, well, yeah, and that's what we do. So make sure you're not just being this critical, cranky, grumpy person who doesn't like people who disagree with you or doesn't like people who are doing better than you or doesn't like people who don't look like you or who doesn't like people who don't sing the songs you sing or play the music you play. That's not discernment, that's the flesh. But a true sign of the prophetic person is discernment. The ability, the simple ability to tell what spirit someone is coming in. Steve, anything you wanna add? I think that is so, so vital. Discernment is, I believe, like Diga Singh, it's the first step into understanding that as a whole and I think it's powerful, powerful so far and people in the chat, they're ready, they're excited. Well, I'm excited too and I see sold out says Jesus and everyone make sure you're liking, commenting, sharing. Someone asked me, why do you care so much about numbers? And it was a good question and it's an important question that we ask ourselves. I care about numbers because numbers represent people and people have souls. So I'm gonna care about numbers until the gospel goes to the ends of the earth and everything has possibly been done that could be done for the advancement of the gospel. So I do care about numbers, like, comment, share, like, comment, share. Don't forget to leave that like. Remember, you get to 1,000 likes. We do the book giveaway, 2,000 likes, trip giveaway. Make sure you're letting me know what you think. By the way, let me ask you, is anybody in the chat being checked by the Holy Spirit on this point concerning discernment? Maybe you're saying, ooh, yeah, sometimes I do that. I take my personal preferences and I try to pass them off as discernment. If that's anybody in the comments, let me know. I see fire emojis, amen. Someone's saying, this is great, praise God. More fire emojis. And by the way, I think if those of you didn't know, I think they have the Nick Teherina emoji available now for chat members, so. It's awesome. Oh yeah, there they are. There's the Steve, there's Nick. We're all there. We're all there. Let me see here. Someone said me, someone said yes, yes, yes. Someone says taking notes. Someone says I love these teachings, yes, yes, yes. So there's a lot of us. Okay, so by the way, you're not the only one. I do that too. Listen, we all are works in progress. We all do this. And this is why we have to be very careful. When we're coming against what we think is the enemy, we might just be coming against something that's different than what God is doing in us. And so that's very important. Now, if something contradicts the word, okay, then you can kind of distance yourself from that. But again, make sure you're actually hearing from the Holy Spirit and not just drawing on past experiences with people and kind of connecting the dots from bad experiences you had with churches or styles or methods and so forth. Like, I know some people who can't step foot into a church because they're constantly discerning that, oh, the church is just a system that's corrupt when in fact God mandated that we put these systems in place. The systems come from the Lord. Now guys, can we turn off the AC if it's on? Thank you so much, gentlemen. So I think these thought patterns are very complex sometimes. We sort of imagine that a church will be like the one we came from. And because of that, we discern, supposedly, not really, but we think we do. We're discerning, oh, something's not right here. But again, you're drawing on past experience or emotion. So be very careful with that. But a sign you could be prophetic is that you have discernment. Now, number two, this one is very interesting. Number two, you receive words of knowledge. First Corinthians 12, 7-8 says this, but the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with all. For to one is given by the Spirit, the word of wisdom. To another, the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit. Now, when I first started, or when I was first beginning in ministry, I asked the Lord to place a prophetic gifting to compliment the ministry. Now, I'm an evangelist with a teaching and healing gift. Those are the, that's the combination that the Lord gave me and you have your combination. In fact, let me know in the chat, what's your combination of gifting or are you still looking to discover it? So that, that's what he gave me. But I also asked him for the word of knowledge because the word of knowledge pairs very well with the gift of healing. For example, last night, I said, there's a gentleman here. You have paralysis and numbness in these two fingers. I specifically pointed to the pinky and the ring finger and I said, God is healing you right now. After the service, a gentleman runs up to me and he goes, I was the guy and he starts moving his hand up and down like this. And I've just found that that's a great combination of gifting, the gift of healing with the word of knowledge. God shows you what's happening as you're calling out the healings and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing, the coming together of those two gifts. In fact, Miss Coleman operated in the word of knowledge and the gift of healing. But here the word of knowledge that's being described is information about the natural that was obtained through supernatural means. Here's what the word of knowledge is. You wanna know what it is. It's information about the natural that was obtained through supernatural means. So then, when I operate in the word of knowledge, when you operate in the word of knowledge, what's happening is that the Holy Spirit is giving you information in regards to the surroundings, to the person you're looking at, maybe that person's past, and the Holy Spirit is revealing this so that you can deliver a message. Now, the word of knowledge primarily deals with the past and the present. The gift of prophecy obviously talks about the future, but words of knowledge are prophetic in nature because you're hearing God. You're listening for His voice. He's speaking to you. And this is a powerful gift or a powerful sign that you could be prophetic. Now, watch this, you may not even realize you're operating in the word of knowledge. You may not even recognize that this is a gift that's active in your life. Where you think, oh, I just kinda know things sometimes. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. What do you mean you just kind of know things sometimes? That's a prophetic gift. That's the working of the Holy Spirit in your life, to where you're looking at people and you just know that they came from a certain kind of home. You just know that they're dealing with depression. You just know that they're pursuing some type of specific career that you know of. Remember this girl one time comes up to me after I got done preaching, and she says, can you pray for me? I said, sure. She says, can you pray specifically about what God wants me to do? Now, let me be clear here. I very rarely respond to these kinds of requests because I can't force the Holy Spirit to just speak to me on command. That's not how it works for me, at least. And she asks me, she says, can you tell me what God wants me to do? There's a career I wanna pursue, but I'm not sure if I should pursue it. And I don't even think I had time to think about the words that were coming out of my mouth as they were coming out of my mouth. I said, yes, God says, become an RN. Wow. And her eyes got like, they went really big. And she looked at me and she said, that was exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you. And she walked away. But that was an unction that came on that was the word of knowledge. That was information about this person, information about their circumstance, information about their past. Now the next sign is the word of wisdom, but let me talk a little bit about the word of knowledge along with the word of wisdom because it'll make for a nice transition and it will help give you a little bit of understanding, a little more understanding on these two gifts. Think about the fact that knowledge and wisdom are naturally occurring. So if I want knowledge about this room, I just have to look around the room. I see that Steve has his T. I see that someone left a hat on the table to my right. I see Britons wearing a blue shirt. See, I'm gathering information, I'm assessing. That information I'm getting is coming to me by natural means, by what I see and hear and experience in the world around me. Wisdom can also come by natural means. People have experiences over time that contribute to their wisdom. People have experiences over time that allow them to navigate certain circumstances with better understanding of those circumstances and the people involved. Knowledge and wisdom can certainly be acquired by natural means, but the gift of the word of knowledge and the gift of the word of wisdom are different than naturally occurring knowledge and naturally occurring wisdom in that they are natural pieces of information that come about through supernatural means. So the word of knowledge, though I could get the information naturally, I could go and just talk to someone and get to know them. I could learn about their past. I could learn what car they drive, what hobbies they have, the name of their spouse, but I can also gain that through the Holy Spirit. The same thing goes for the word of wisdom and it's the same portion of scripture, 1 Corinthians 12, 7 through 8. This is the Holy Spirit giving that wisdom. So word of knowledge is knowledge that comes about through supernatural means and word of wisdom is wisdom that comes about through supernatural means. Think of the woman at the well in John 4. Jesus had the word of knowledge. He knew all about the woman's life. He was able to give details, specific details about who she was, what she did, what her past was like, and in the giving in those details, he was able to demonstrate the word of knowledge. Now the word of wisdom is that daily navigation that the Lord gives to you. Think about Solomon and the Proverbs he wrote. Think about the fact that Joseph was able to interpret dreams. Dream interpretation isn't a word of knowledge, it's a form of a word of wisdom. The ability to navigate difficult circumstances, you may think that you just are good at figuring how to find solutions. You may think that you're just gifted in understanding people and reconciling relationships. That is a sign of the prophetic nature in you. Really think about this because this is a big one. You may just think, I wanna say it again. You may just think that you're good at reconciling relationships. People come to you as a mediator. People come to you for advice. People come to you for wisdom on navigating circumstances. That is a prophetic nature in you. The fact that you can just know information about people, that's the word of knowledge. I had a friend who was very, very prophetic in nature and he would meet people and just give out a date, oh, March 12th, April 2nd. I watched this happen. I watched this happen with my own eyes. I heard it with my own ears. We would go and we would meet people. The moment he shook their hand, the first thing he would say to them, December 12th, November 4th, like he would, like that. And they would just be shocked, like, how did you know my birthday? I remember, this happened like a dozen times I saw it. They would say, how did you know my birthday? He says, I don't know, it's just something I do. I thought, well, that was incredible that he was able to do that. And I asked him, what's the point of that? And he was telling me that he was just trying to exercise the gift of the word of knowledge. And I was amazed to see it in action. I can't say there was too much of a purpose in telling people their exact birthdays, at least for that specific moment, but he was exercising the gift. He was using what God had gave him and he was demonstrating the prophetic. So, number one, signs that you know you're prophetic. These are important. Number one is discernment. Number two is the word of knowledge. Number three is the word of wisdom. Remember, word of knowledge is obtaining natural information by supernatural means. The word of wisdom is the gaining of wisdom for circumstances or difficulties by supernatural means. And again, you may think that these are just traits about you, things that just kind of occur. Oh, I'm always like that. I just kind of always know what's happening with people. No, no, that is prophetic. You think you're just good at reading people? You think that you just are good at protecting your loved ones from people who end up being corrupt? No, that's a prophetic nature in you. So, number one, discernment. Number two, words of knowledge. Number three, words of wisdom. Number four, oh, this one's great. I mean, these are all great, but I mean, this one, I'm kind of excited to share it. Okay, number four, prophetic dreams and visions. This is a big one because okay, let me start with this. Admittedly, there are some times that people put way too much emphasis on their dreams. Like Brother David, I had a dream that an angel was dancing over me, sprinkling glitter, blowing a trumpet, and there was a lizard who likewise had wings and his name was Jerry. And I'm like, okay, okay, I don't, like just go ask the Lord because I don't know if every dream necessarily is something you should obsess about. And I'm very confident that the Lord will make the message quite clear if it's him. But while we know that there are some times that dreams are just dreams, it's also very clear in scripture that that dream you have, that dream that you have again and again and again, could very well be a prophetic message from the Lord. Job 33, 14 through 15. For God, oh, this is powerful. For God speaks again and again. Though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams and visions of the night when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. Matthew 2, 12, when it was time to leave, they returned to their own country by another road. For God had warned them in a dream not to return to Herod. This is the wise man being warned in a dream. Joseph likewise warned in a dream. God can speak through dreams and visions. Now, the Bible also says in Acts 18, 9, one night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision, do not be afraid, keep on speaking, do not be silent. Now, Steve, check in with the chat. The AC was kind of messing with us. I'm gonna take another water break. So I know this is right here. This is such a great one. And I know I've already seen a few questions in the chat section. So go ahead and continue to leave those questions. I'm actually gathering as many questions as I can while he's preaching and while he's teaching to save for the very end. But yes, dreams and prophetic dreams and visions, just to recap, I wanna go ahead and go over a few of the points here. So just for my note-takers out there, number one was discernment. So number one was discernment. Number two, word of knowledge, words of knowledge. Number three, words of wisdom. And now I'm on number four. And now he's on number four. Prophetic dreams and visions. So really dreams are visions. So I know there's dreams and visions, and we talk about that. And in a way they are different, but really dreams should be under the category of visions. Dreams are visions in the night. There are things that God shows us while we lie in our beds, while we're sleeping, while we're in a certain sleep state, God speaks to us through dreams. And that's perfectly biblical. This is solid biblical truth. I can think of a couple of situations where for example, I had a dream about a demonic being. Now, it's a well-known fact, biblically speaking, that Christians can't be possessed or demonized or oppressed, but we can be affected by demonic deception. That deception becomes thought pattern. That thought pattern becomes feeling and that feeling becomes a way of acting. That acting becomes a way of living. And so then that creates the bondage based on our decisions, based on deception. Now, even though the enemy comes through deception, that doesn't mean there aren't open doors that we have in our lives that make us, that doesn't mean that we don't have open doors in our lives that make us more susceptible to demonic deception. There are things that you do that can make you more susceptible to demonic deception. That's a fact. And so in my dream, I saw this shadowy figure. It was really demonic. I remember in my dream, I'm lying down. So it's like a dream within a dream almost. I wake up in my dream, I'm still in my dream. And I'm lying in my bed and I look over and I see floating in the center of my room, this dark mist, like a dark cloud. And it begins to form and thicken. And in the center of the cloud, I could see like teeth, like a smile. All I could see was the smile and two eyes. I wrote about this in 25 truths about demons and spiritual warfare. And in my dream, the boldness of the Holy Spirit came over me and I start rebuking. I said, in the name of Jesus, you have no right, you have to go. And this thing began to laugh at me, smiling. Wow. And I thought, this is odd because I know the scripture teaches very clearly that demons go immediately. And I was looking at this demonic being, later the Lord revealed this wasn't demonic influence in my life, he was showing it to me on behalf of someone else. It starts to laugh, smile. And I said, you have to go in the name of Jesus. I kept reiterating. I says, you have no right. And I says, yes, I do. It's smile, almost laughing as it said it. It said, yes, I do. And I thought, how? And it answered me. It said, there's someone in your family who's practicing necromancy. Oh my goodness. And then I woke up. I called my grandmother who basically has information on the whole family tree. She is the one that is contacted with everyone and she keeps up with the details on everyone's lives. And I asked her, I said, Nani, I said, Nani, I had this dream last night and the Lord gave it to me as a warning for someone in our family. I said, somebody's practicing necromancy. And without hesitation, she said, ah, I know exactly who you're talking about. And I've been praying for them. Let me call them and tell them the dream that you had that's warning them. For those who don't know, my family came from the occult. My great-great-grandfather was a very high-ranking official in certain parts of the occult and it was a very interesting past that we have as a family. So some of that is still practiced in certain parts of my family. And so there, I mean, it was a shocking dream to me. And I said, Lord, why was it that this demonic being was able to hold its place? The Lord made it clear to me that this was influenced in someone else's life, but He gave me that warning for them, guys. He gave me the warning so that they might be set free from that influence that caused deception. And so that was one way that the Lord warned me. That was like a demonic warning, like a warning about the demonic, I should say. Another dream I had, by the way, in the chat, let me know, if you've ever had an interesting dream, let me know a little bit about it in your comment section here. Another dream I had was of this man of God. In fact, this was a recurring dream. This one was interesting here. So I had this dream over and over and over again about this man of God who I knew God called me to receive from. There are certain people that God will place in your life for the purpose of transferring mantles. And I knew that the Lord wanted to connect me with this man of God. And for several years, I had tried to walk through different open doors, but those doors, as I would walk through them, would slam shut in my face. And I began to ask the Lord to make that connection for me. I said, Lord, only you can do it. Only you can make that connection. And not just make the connection, but also make the connection and allow a relationship to form to where I could receive impartation. That was just God. It was God. And so in my dreams, this man would walk by me and I would try to grab the bottom of his suit coat just to receive an impartation. And every single one of my dreams that I had like this, he would walk by and I would try to reach out from, but he would walk by too fast or he would go into a room and they would shut the door and there'd be security on the outside or there'd be people all around him and I wouldn't be able to get to him. And several times over and over I'd have this dream where this man of God would walk by and I wasn't able to catch that mantle. And then one night I had a dream where he's walking by and as he's walking by, I reach out to touch his coat and I caught it. And I felt like this surge of power go through me. The moment I caught it, I felt the surge move through me and then that woke me up. I woke up in my room and I'm thinking, oh my goodness, I caught him. I finally caught the coat that I was trying to grab and all these dreams that I was having. Sure enough, within a week or two, I get a call one day from my brother Michael who used to work in our office in California. Now he still works with the ministry, but he's in Texas. He answers the phone and it's somebody from this man's ministry who reached out to us. We didn't even have to go and reach out to them. They reached out to us and said, we wanna make this connection. And I thought, this is just incredible. I just had that dream where I caught it and there it is. Within a couple of weeks of that dream of catching him, we get this random phone call. They left a voicemail on our ministry line and that was it. Went in and God did the rest from there and the rest is history and it came to confirmation through dreams. I've also had visions. God's shown me visions of the ministry. You know, I looked at the cameras, I look at the jib, I look at all, I saw all of this when I was 14, all of it. I saw how it would operate. I'm not saying in full detail, but I knew what the structure would be like. I knew how the setup would kind of be arranged and this was all something that God showed to me when I was 13, 14, 15, 16 years old. I saw it all. The Holy Spirit revealed it. He didn't show me how it would come to pass, but he gave that vision. I had another vision of these fields. This is another one I had one time. I had a vision of these fields and in these fields I could look and see. It was far down the line. The horizon was very, very far from me. And in these fields I could see these workers all working and there's nothing but dirt. It's dry. It's hot. They're sweating. They're working. And with every movement, they're kicking up dust on themselves. And I thought that does not look pleasant. I don't necessarily want to join in on that, but what they were doing is they were preparing the harvest field. They were tealing the ground. And so I see them and then I hear thunder. And off in the distance I see these clouds beginning to roll in. And as the clouds roll in, rain begins to fall and as rain begins to fall, the workers become refreshed and I saw these thick drops of rain, like thick drops. And when a drop of rain would touch the ground, instantly a piece of vegetation would sprout. It wouldn't even, it wasn't like these little sprouts. It would grow to this full grown plant. And I was seeing as the drops were dropping in the dirt, boom, there goes another one and then another drop. And then boom, there goes another one and then another drop. And it was happening all over the field. And the Lord spoke to me. He said, you've sown the seeds. I'm about to bring the rain. Wow. And this was in a vision. I wasn't a dream, I wasn't asleep. I saw this in a vision as I was praying. He said, you've sown the seeds. I'm about to bring the rain. He said, tell my people, whatever you've sown will grow. And I took that as both an encouragement as a warning and a warning. It was an encouragement and a warning. You've sown the seeds, I'm about to bring the rain. So the things you sown that were evil, they're gonna bring forth evil. The things you sown that were good, they're gonna bring forth good. He says, you've been sowing, I'm about to bring the rain. There was much more to the vision than that, but that's just kind of an example of how the Lord works with that. But if you have dreams and visions, maybe you have dreams and these things come to pass. Or you have dreams about people that kind of give you more insight on, not, I'm not talking about suspicion. I'm talking about legitimate insight into people. And you might just dismiss them and say, oh, well, sometimes I have these dreams. No, no, that is God working in you. Listen, that's God working in you. If you've ever had a dream that's come true, just leave a one, the number one in the comments section. Drop a one in the comments section. If you've ever had a prophetic dream come true, or maybe like you have this daydream almost. You know, visions are almost like daydreams, except they're more vivid and they capture your attention. Maybe you've had these visions, and you think you're just daydreaming, but you get caught up in it, and then something happens regarding that, or something very similar happens with that, or you see something in the future that comes to pass. All of these things are prophetic. Look at all these people. Look at all of you guys have experienced this. People of God, this is the prophetic in you. So let God confirm it today in Jesus name. This is the prophetic in you. And we're barely on key number four. Okay, so number one is discernment. Number two, words of knowledge. Number three, words of wisdom. Number four, prophetic dreams and visions. Number five, foresight. Okay, so remember, word of knowledge is about the past and the present. Word of wisdom is about navigating the circumstance. But foresight, the prophetic, that is looking into the future. That's God speaking to you about things that will be, that have not yet been revealed. So prophecy about the future. Mark 831, he then began to teach them that the son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed after three days rise, and after three days rise again. So here, Jesus is predicting that he will suffer, that he will die, that he will rise from the dead. That is the prophetic in action. Matthew 12, 25, Jesus knew their thoughts. Now that is a powerful truth in and of itself, but Jesus had both foresight and what? Insight, foresight and insight. So two more keys here. Number five is foresight. Number six is insight. So foresight is when I see the future. I look into what will be. Insight is when I see the hearts and minds of people. First Corinthians 14, 24 through 25 says, but if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers are people who don't understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin and judged by what you say. As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed. And they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring God is truly here among you. So Jesus would know their thoughts. The scripture talks about the thoughts being exposed of the unbeliever in the church meetings that we have. The Bible talks about foresight. So these are two very powerful keys. Foresight, the look into the future, the glimpse of the things that are to come. Insight, what is in the heart of people? Now again, we have to be very careful. We have to be, I'm throwing myself in there with you, okay? We have to be very careful that we're not mixing our emotions, preferences, ideas, paradigms, mindsets and perspectives in with this gift. We must decrease so he can increase. It's done in humility. It's done in humility. Remember, none of this, well, that just doesn't sit right with my spirit. Wait a minute, is that your spirit? Or is that your emotion? Is that because you don't like the truth that's being preached? Is that because you don't like the style of the haircut of the person? Whatever it may be, don't mix it in. But foresight is in regards to the future. And God confirms this obviously because the things come to pass. Insight is looking into the hearts and minds of people. Now this does not mean that you can read minds. This does not mean that we are mind readers. This does not mean that we have telepathy and we have the power to look around and see everyone's thoughts. If that's happening to you all the time and you can't shut it off, I recommend going to seek help. Go get help with that. That's not necessarily the sign of a spiritual gift. It could be, but remember, there's peace that comes with the prophetic too. Amen. So then, this gift of insight, it comes on people in certain moments. I remember one time I was ministering in San Diego and I brought the people up. I'm praying over them. The power of God's moving and there's this altar filled with people. I'm standing over them ministering the word of God, praying, prophesying. My eyes are closed, hands are lifted. And I hear this boy yelling to my left, I wanna see your glory. I wanna see your glory. I wanna see your glory. Telling to Lord, I stop and I turn toward him. And I pointed at him. I said, you just ask to see God's glory and he wants you to know he's gonna touch your life right now. And the power of God came on him. Wow. I found out afterwards that that little boy was not shouting. That little boy was not even speaking. That little boy was not even whispering. Wow. That little boy was thinking, praying in his mind. I wanna see your glory. I wanna see your glory. I wanna see your glory. And I picked it up in the prophetic. I'm not a mind reader. I can't just turn this on and off whenever I'd like. It was just a supernatural moment. It's all I can say about it. There's nothing other than that to be said. It was a supernatural moment. And I heard in the spirit this little boy's thoughts. I heard his thoughts. I heard what was going on in his mind, in my mind, in that moment of supernatural power. Only God can do that. Now that is insight and God will show you these things. It's not necessarily that you see in people. It's that you're seeing in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit sees in people. So I look through the Holy Spirit's eyes, not my eyes. Wow. There's no natural means of acquiring this, okay? There's no natural means of even confirming this outside of what the person can confirm what was going on in their hearts. You can't say, Lord, I want that and practice all these different things to get it. And same thing goes with dreams and visions. You can position yourself in the Spirit to receive more prophetic insight, but you can't do anything to directly gain it. You get what I'm saying? It's about positioning myself in the Spirit. It's about surrendering my ear to the Lord. So I can position myself to listen. I can quiet the things around me so that I can listen, but I can't make God speak anything. So when I talk about sharpening the prophetic gift or stirring up that gift or becoming more prophetic, I'm not talking about acquiring words of knowledge, or here's how you search out for the words of knowledge. No, no, don't get into that. That's like New Ageism, guys. But rather, I'm talking about how to hear the Holy Spirit. I'm talking about how to yield to the Holy Spirit himself and in yielding to the Holy Spirit himself, you become positioned to receive more dreams and visions. You know, I have more dreams and visions when I pray at night because I go to sleep praying in tongues. Oh, wow. I mean, I call me crazy, but I go to sleep thinking in tongues. I say, Holy Spirit, whatever you wanna think through me, think it. Now I can't claim to prove that that's scripturally something I can back up. It doesn't contradict the scripture, which is important, but it's not something I teach dogmatically, but that's just something I do. Holy Spirit, take over my thoughts too, even think through me. And there are times when I'm in that realm, praying at night where I do feel like I'm no longer here. Wow. I get taken to a different place. And in that season or in that moment, when I go to bed, dreams and visions. When I wake up, discernment, insight, prophecy, words of knowledge, words of wisdom, why? Not because I'm acquiring the gift, not because I'm forcing God to speak in ways He's not wanting to speak. You can't do that. All you can do is position yourself to hear. Anyone that ever tells you here are the keys to getting more of this or getting more words of knowledge, be very, very cautious. I'm not saying cancel the person. I'm saying like a watermelon, eat the watermelon, spit out the seeds, okay? Don't take in everything that you're told. Have biblical foundation. So in the terms of words of knowledge, dreams, visions, and so forth, make sure that you realize that you can position yourself in the spirit, but you cannot force him to speak. So I want to make that very clear. Powerful. So number one, discernment. Number two, words of knowledge. Number three, words of wisdom. Number four, prophetic dreams and vision. Number five, foresight. Six, insight. I'm going to read seven, eight, nine in just a moment. Let's check on the chat. And guys, I do apologize. The air conditioning is messing with my speaking voice here. So I will take another water break and Steve. So if you didn't know, I mean, everybody in the chat has been saying it. We just hit 1,000 likes on this video on this stream. So congratulations, everybody. Give yourself a round of applause. Amazing, amazing job. Our next big goal is 2K. If you guys can get us to 2K, 2,000 likes, it's going to be powerful. It's going to be amazing. 2,000 while we're live. While we're live, we're going to be doing the very, very special. So very proud of everybody. Awesome, awesome job. OK, guys. So I see the chat lighting up here. Chris, as it sounds, it went too fast. Sorry. Oh, by the way, guys, don't smash the like button.

Push it sorrows away. It's oh, so satisfying when you see that colorless, lifeless dull thumb go from gray to blue. I promise you it's a small amount of satisfaction. But go ahead and click that. Gently click it. Again, don't break it. We need it. But gently click the like button every single one of you so that you can help us spread our reach. OK, number seven, passion for God's word. Jeremiah 20, 8 through 10. When I speak, the words burst out. Violence and destruction, I shout. So these messages from the Lord have made me a household joke. Now stop here for a second. Jeremiah is talking about the fact that when he speaks the word of the Lord, he becomes the laughing stock. People turn against him. You will find, as a prophet of God, that when you declare truth, people turn against you. Oh, you better be ready for that. No, no, no, I'm not saying when you share your opinion. I'm not saying when you share some weird new doctrine that's not backed by scripture. I'm not saying when you share what you received in your emotions. I'm saying when you declare the message God has declared, when you speak that truth, please hear me now. You are prophetic. You who are responding to these signs, you're prophetic. And I need you to hear this. I love you too much to not tell you this. People will turn on you when you speak truth. People will accuse you when you speak truth. People will make up lies about you when you speak truth. Keep declaring the truth anyway. Shout it from the rooftops. Declare it from the mountain tops. Let your voice rise up like a trumpet. Cry aloud, spare not. Speak forth the word of God. When you begin to declare truth, not only will the world turn on you, religious people turn on you too. God's people may at times turn on you. They turned on Moses. They turned on Jesus. When God gives you a prophetic word, it rattles cages. It upsets the foundations of religious establishments. Declare it anyway. Speak that truth that God put in you like Jeremiah said, fire in my bones. So these messages from the Lord, Jeremiah writes, have made me a household joke. But if I say I'll never mention the Lord or speak his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It's like a fire in my bones. I am worn out trying to hold it in. I can't do it. I have heard the many rumors about me. They call me the man who lives in terror. They threaten if you say anything, we will report it. Even my old friends are watching me waiting for a fatal slip. He will trap himself, they say. And then we will get our revenge on him. Wow, wow, wow. People of God who are prophetic, if you can't identify with that, then you've not operated in the prophetic yet. But I trust that most of you know exactly what that's like. See, a prophetic word isn't just a thus sayeth the Lord, shall rain down glory from the mountaintops. Those are wonderful, those are encouragements. You know when you really start to stir things up is when you bring a prophetic word of correction. Ooh. When you call people to repent, when you call for biblical order, when the word of God is your passion, and you call things out that are out of alignment. Prophetic word isn't just about the future. A prophetic word can be a correction. Not according to your preferences, people of God, we have, again, I'm throwing myself in there, we have to be careful. A prophetic word will stir things up and people will speak against you. The wait for you to trap yourself. The wait for you to slip up. They'll plot against you, they'll plan against you. They'll talk about you behind your back. They'll do anything they can. They'll even try to intimidate you. They'll do anything they can to keep you from speaking that truth. Do you know why? Because the truth works. The truth has power. So all anyone can do against the truth is silence it. Because once it's out, it's out. And this is what prophetic people do. They carry a passion for the word of God in their hearts. They have more of the word, not less. We have to be rid of this mindset that the less of the word of God that we have, the more prophetic we are. I've seen it all too many times. In fact, I'll just use myself. I used to do it often. I would grab my notes right before I was about to preach and I would say I had these notes and I'd crumple them up. And I would say, I was looking for a paper to crumple but I need all these. I would crumple up the notes. And I would say, I was gonna preach this and I'd crunch it up. And I'd say, but God, as I threw the notes, wants to move. Now, sometimes that is the Lord. Yes, sometimes God says no preaching right now, just pray. Sometimes he'll do that. But this mindset that the word of God is somehow dry and that prophesying is the refreshing that we're looking for, it's dangerous. You're putting your gift and you're calling in danger when you don't reverence the word. Hear me again. You are putting your prophetic calling in danger when you don't reverence the word. That's the mindset people have. Oh man, God moved. He didn't even get to preach the word. That's what I used to say. Oh man, it was so great. He preached maybe five, 10 minutes and then after that it was just God. Whoa. Again, I'm not saying that can never happen. There are services where that will be the case. But fundamentally speaking, the word should be your foundation of ministry. Amen. Remember, Jesus is the focus of prophecy. The word is the foundation of prophecy. When you remove the word from your prophetic ministry, you start to declare your opinions and call them prophetic words. Wow, wow, wow. When you remove the word from your prophetic ministry, you start to prophesy out of your imagination and say that it's a word from God. No, no, true prophets love, know, defend and reverence the word. They put the word high above their opinions. They put the word high above dreams and visions. They put the word high above words of knowledge. Those are all great. We need them all. We should experience them all and I hope we have more dreams and visions. I hope we have more words of knowledge. I hope we have more gifts of prophecy at work in the church, but we cannot forget the word. True prophetic people love the word. I kid you not, a friend of mine told me that he went to a church service. I don't know who it was. I never named preachers. So this is about no one in particular. Years ago, a friend of mine told me a story about how he had at the time, years ago attended a meeting where this guy was prophesying. It was a local church. No one on television or the internet. Nobody would know. Some local church he went to. And this guy gets up and he closes the Bible. He says, I don't really want to read from this today. This just confuses me. Let's just prophesy. I heard that I said, are you kidding me? Confuses you. It's, if the word of God, let me make this straight. If the word of God causes you confusion, it's because you're clinging to lies. The only time there can be confusion is when you try to put two mindsets together. I'm confused. This confuses me. You know why? Because you're clinging to lies and trying to fit them into the word and it's not gonna work. You're trying to force God to say something he's not saying. And be very careful because if you prophesy out of your imagination, it will come back to bite you. If you prophesy just out of your own emotions, it will come back to bite you. I understand that we should be gracious and I understand that we should exercise our gifts and I understand that it takes time to sharpen spiritual gifts. So I don't want to scare anyone out of prophesying. But I do wanna say this, if God's not speaking to you, you're gonna look like a fool when what you prophesy doesn't come to pass. There needs to be more reverence for the word. What he's actually saying. And if you're more familiar with the word of God, the more familiar you are with the word, that is the written word, the clearer the prophetic becomes. The clearer you can hear his voice. Well, that's how it works. My foundation is the word. My foundation is what he says in the scripture. And from there, I build my foundation of the understanding of this word. You wanna see a true move of God reverence the word. So that's number seven. Prophetic people are passionate about his word. We don't take our notes and go, oh, I'm just gonna prophesy today. Listen, listen, listen. Jesus is the focus of prophecy. If you have a service and all you're doing is prophesying and demonstrating how accurate you are with words of knowledge, you're in danger. Your soul is in danger. Please hear me. If all you do is demonstrate the gift, but don't show the glory of God. If all you do is move in power, we'll never reverencing that presence. You're in danger. You're in danger. That's borderline witchcraft. I call it charismatic witchcraft, power demonstrations without Jesus. It all points to man. And I don't say that to anyone to attack anyone. I say that because I love the prophetic and I care about your soul. I care about you. God has raised you for such a time as this. Don't allow your prophetic gift to be polluted by new ageism. Come on. By commercialism. Let it be a beautiful expression of the heart of God that points to the Son Jesus. And in that, you'll always know the peace of God. In that, you will always know the true presence of God. If you'll make that commitment today to always point to Jesus and to make the word your foundation, I want you to type right now the word amen. Type it. That's your public declaration. Even if you're watching this on the replay, you say, make that your commitment. Say amen. Just type it right now. Public declaration. That I will make the word the foundation of all prophetic expression. I will keep Jesus as the focus. I wanna see that. God bless you. God bless you. I see all those confirming this. Please, please, please. Don't pollute the prophetic with commercialism. Please, I beg of you. Don't pollute the prophetic with emotionalism or new ageism or anyism. We just want Jesus. That's all prophecy. Prophecy is to point people to Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Come on. So, so far we have number one, discernment, number two, words of knowledge, number three, word of wisdom. Number four, prophetic dreams and visions. Number five, foresight. Number six, insight into hearts and minds. Number seven, passion for God's word. Number eight, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. We need both word and spirit and while I prepare my next point, Steve, check in with the chat, I'm gonna take another water break. So, as Degas said right now, go ahead and type amen in the chat. I see the amen is just flying by the screen so you guys are doing amazing. But that point that he made previously is so vital. I mean, the word is our foundation and if we're not rooted correctly, if we're not in the word, things will get off. So, just again, remember, simple, read your Bibles. Read your Bibles. Very simple, very simple. Powerful stuff. That daily practice of the scripture, the word, will make all the difference in the world. Now, number eight is sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. As I said, we need both the spirit and the word. If you have just the spirit with no word, you lack foundation, you have inspiration, but people trail off into strange, bizarre things. If you have the word but no spirit, you have information, you have the truth, but no experience of that truth. The word gives you information. The spirit gives you inspiration. Actually, I should say the word gives you revelation. I think that's a better way to put it because information, that's just in the natural. The word gives you revelation. The spirit gives you inspiration. Together, they bring transformation. We need both the word and the spirit. Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is not just about how clearly you hear him, but how quickly you respond when he speaks. I'm gonna say it again. Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is not just about how clearly you hear him, but how quickly you respond when he speaks. This is so key. So, this is a story I tell. Don't ask me how, okay, it's embarrassing and I'm embarrassed to even be telling this story. I burned my hand making oatmeal. My wife came in and she told me, why are you pouring the water into the oats? Just pour the oats into the water. And I thought, oh yeah, that's much safer than the way I was doing it, trying to balance and get it right, but I did burn my hand while making oatmeal. And there was this little burn mark on my thumb right here. And, you know, it was very sensitive. So sensitive that when someone would shake my hand and touch that part of my thumb, I would pull back instantly. It was a reaction. So, sensitivity is not just about how clearly you hear him, but how quickly you respond when he speaks. Are you sensitive to the touch of the spirit? When he speaks, we need to move. Sensitivity is about how quickly you react to what he's telling you. It's about how responsive you are to his instructions. How responsive are you to the instructions of the Holy Spirit? When he speaks to you, how long does it take for you to speak what he says to speak? When he speaks to you, how long does it take you to correct those things he's talking to you about? This is sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4.30. And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. I don't wanna grieve the Holy Spirit. Now, every believer should have sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, but those who are prophetically graced have an inclination towards sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. When I was born, my parents prayed over me that I would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. But not only was I sensitive to the Holy Spirit, I was born very sensitive to the spiritual realm. And you, because you're prophetic, you identify with that. Maybe you were always kind of aware of the spiritual world around you, aware of the buzzing activity of life in the spiritual realm. Maybe you knew or just sensed the warfare for your soul. So, as a kid, I had supernatural encounters. I saw demonic beings. I saw things on people. I heard the voice of God. I was recognizing spiritual things at a very early age because I was born with that sensitivity. Now, prophets, prophetic people are born or gifted or graced with or born again with certain inclinations, certain traits. Remember this, your strength is your weakness and your weakness is your strength. What do I mean by that? For instance, I'll use me as an example and then I'll use Steve as an example. I'm very, very details-oriented. I really like to make sure that things are done correctly. Now, in the strength of that, when I write books, they're very detailed. I give you the information you want. People read my books and they say, it's funny, right when I think of the questions, you give me the answer because I'm writing it thinking, what's the next question to ask after I answer this? I like for everything to be done with quality. That's why Tim and I get along so well. We're both very details-oriented. However, even though that's a strength, that can become very tormenting. And I say that jovially, I don't mean that literally tormenting. It can become troublesome or problematic when I bring that attention to details into every aspect of my life and I become a perfectionist. And I'm looking at all the flaws in every little thing. When you're a perfectionist, it's hard to enjoy anything that's succeeding because you can always see how it can be a little better. When I preach a message, I see lives changed. I see people getting their hearts right with God. I love that, but when I'm on the car right home, I'm asking the team, hey guys, how was that? Was that okay? Because I feel like I missed it here. I feel like I wasn't clear here. Even this broadcast, as I did this broadcast, I'm thinking of all the times that I messed up or stuttered or fumbled over a word while reading scripture. That's all I'm gonna be thinking about once this is done. And you, of course, being touched by God's power. But that is a strength and a weakness. Steven's strength and weakness, can I tell you your weakness? There's a lot of them, Steve, but can I tell you one of my favorites on you? You don't care. You just don't care. And I mean that as a strength. Anything goes wrong. This guy's got peace like a river. He's just floating. He's good. But that sometimes can turn into you forget things, right? Right, right. Like certain things on your calendar or maybe to pick something up from the store. Would you say that's both your strength and your weakness? I would say yeah. So Steve has a strength and a weakness. You have a strength and a weakness. So prophetic people, your strength is that you're very sensitive. Your weakness is that you're very sensitive. I'm gonna say that again. Your strength is that you're very sensitive. Your weakness is that you're very sensitive. Some of the most moody people I know are prophetic people. It's just the reality. And the people said, amen. You know, you get in these moods. You have these mood swings. Why? You sense things in the spirit realm. God doesn't wanna change that sensitivity. He wants to capture it. He wants to cultivate it. He wants to direct it. For example, my phone is being charged right now on a power grid. This wire that I'm using to charge my phone, this wire directs the power and makes it productive and my phone is charged. Now, if I were to touch that same current of power without the wire, it would harm me. Why? Because it's the same power, but it's not being directed. That sensitivity you have in the spirit, God gave it to you. But make sure you're directing it. Make sure you're not becoming defensive and moody and critical and cynical and grumpy and isolated and suspicious of everybody around you. Make sure that along with that sensitivity, you have peace. You have joy. But you're not delving into every conspiracy theory that the prophetic world presents to you. That you're not treating every dream as something you need to obsess about or you start to feel guilty because you didn't get the meaning of that dream and you're wondering if God's angry with you for not understanding what he was speaking to you. Or you received the prophetic word from someone that maybe just wasn't accurate. But instead of saying it wasn't accurate because you're so sensitive to the prophetic, you wanna honor it, you're thinking, well, I don't wanna just dismiss it. And so you live in confusion because someone gave you an inaccurate word. See, so these are things that you have to learn about yourself. Prophetic people are sensitive to the Holy Spirit. They're sensitive to the spirit realm. And so you can, if you're not careful, you're gonna live in this tension. You're gonna live in this paranoia almost. You're gonna live in this lack of peace, lack of joy, all wrapped up and tangled in your emotions. That's not a good place to be. And so as a prophetic person, you have to recognize you're sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Yes, but you're also sensitive. And that has to be acknowledged. Once you acknowledge your own personal weaknesses, then you can begin to capture them. I'll use myself as an example again. I have this trait where I think about all the possible outcomes. So when planning for something, plan, like I'll tell you where it's good. My ability to see the outcomes helps me when I'm putting together a teaching. I can see where people might misunderstand something I'm gonna say. Now, I haven't perfected my teaching gift yet. Sometimes I say things that people go, what are you talking about? I'm like, okay, back to the drawing board, you gotta rework that. But that ability to be able to see all the possible outcomes doesn't work so well when you're driving. Because then I'm all tense looking, okay, that guy can cut me off here. That guy is speeding. That guy coming up behind me. There's not enough distance between me and him. And so I get really tense when I'm driving. Sometimes the Lord, for the most part, I think I have a good handle on it, but sometimes I get really worked up. Why? Because I'm imagining all the possibilities. Now that's not necessarily a problem because it did save me from a car accident one time. But if I allow it to cause me to be just this tense, angry, paranoid person, that's not good. So there, again, is something that was captured, that ability to see what the possible outcomes are in the case of teaching, it's great. In the case of driving, I kinda gotta curb that a little bit. And so you have to ask yourself, what is that like in you? What is that thing about yourself that is a strength but also weakness? I'm telling you, it's sensitivity. It's sensitivity to the spirit realm. And so you as a prophetic person may be able to see things in the spirit, but is it possible? Hear me now, is it possible that maybe you're the type of person who's easily offended? Is it possible that maybe you're the type of person to hold grudges? Maybe, and see, we spiritualize them. Well, I'm not bitter, that person just has a bad spirit. See, it works that way. And so I wanna encourage you. Capture that. Don't get lost in that confusion, the heaviness. I'll never forget one time I was preaching for a pastor and I was going around the room giving words of knowledge, just prophesying over people. And I saw all sorts of things. Prophetic people, we carry burdens. We carry burdens that are not ours to carry. You look at the people, you're moved with compassion, you see them. And what do you do? You start to wear what you see on them. He took me to the back room, his office, pulls me aside, he says, hey, you leave those burdens here. I said, what? He goes, I can see you're carrying the heaviness from the people. He said, you leave those to God, those aren't yours to carry. You as a prophetic person have to know that those things that you're sensing coming on you are not yours to carry, they're the Lord's. And so we may connect with people. So that sensitivity is great because you can see when someone is in trouble, but that sensitivity is not so great when you take their trouble and make it yours. Now, of course, the scripture says to bear one another's burdens, but I'm talking about bearing it in an unhealthy way. To where you have no joy or peace or you can see the fakes. You can see things that are unfolding in our world. And you become worried about the future. You become worried about what's happening. Don't worry. Don't worry. Jesus is the focus of prophecy. Amen. So before I get to my next point, tell me, prophetic people, do you have that sensitivity? Let me know about it in the comments section. Steve, how's the chat doing? Chat's doing amazing. Like you were saying in this last few points here, everybody I think can kind of agree the overall arch and the overall theme of what you're talking about is understanding the Holy Spirit. And I think when we start to realize that and start to harness that, I think these keys on being prophetic are gonna flow so easily. So powerful, powerful message. People are receiving, I've seen so many comments of people saying, wow, wow, this really has changed my life. I mean, they're flying by already. So this message is touching many that are watching. So powerful. And they're asking, how do I help myself? Well, ground yourself in the word, in prayer, in worship. Just give it to Jesus. I know that doesn't sound easy, but you gotta just stop obsessing about it. Arlene, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Terry, right on, like you know me. Well, we know each other. We are the spirit family, you know. Brenna says, dreams. Denise, anxiety and sensitivity. Denise, that is right on. Denise, that is exactly it. Sensitivity can so easily become anxiety. And that is a very excellent, great job on that point, Denise. DM, I see man, fire. And Roseanne says, yes. Pamela says, excellent message. Stace says, yes, Lord. Letitia put fire emojis. Edward says, yes, I have that sensitivity that's become my weakness. Let it be your strength, my friend. Let it be your strength. Tammy says, she identifies. Ayee says, ground yourself, root yourself. That's right. You gotta brace yourself. Rebecca, not about obsessing over perfection. Miss Tish says, let go and let God. The old cliche holds true, doesn't it? DM, it says burning desire of the Holy Spirit. Tiffany says, so true. Well, God bless you all. I'm gonna get into the ninth and final point. I'm glad to see this is helping you. And I'm hoping this is helping you to identify a prophetic gift because I know that there are many of you watching who are in fact very prophetic and we're very thankful to the Lord for what he's doing in your life. Okay, number nine. Here we go, number nine. Boldness in warning. Now I don't have a specific verse for this, but if you look out through the entire Old Testament, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jonah, even though he ran, these prophets all throughout the Old Testament were given messages of warning. They were given messages of correction. Now, God doesn't call people to fall in love with correcting. I think some people fall in love with the authority. They love the idea that they're the ones to bring correction because they think it demonstrates their authority. But correction is to be brought about not in anger, not in trying to prove a point, not in trying to win an argument. Correction, if it's from God, is brought about in love. And that love inspires boldness. People who have a passion for the word of God. Remember that passion is key because it is the passion for God's word that brings compassion for God's people. It's the passion for God's word that brings compassion for God's people. What do I mean? Well, if I'm passionate about what God says, it means I'm sold on what God says. I'm convinced about what God says. And that produces in me the knowledge of the truth. The knowledge of the truth causes me to look and see people's lives and go, oh my goodness, they're in danger. Oh my goodness, they're not living right. Oh my goodness, they're off on a doctrine or something like that. That's when correction comes. Now, correction, biblically speaking, is to be done in private. Correction of sin is to be done in private. And then you move up the certain modes of correction. This doesn't mean you go around doing theological debates because if God is going to correct a doctrine, he's just going to give you the truth. I found that when you correct doctrines that are out of place, the best thing to do is not to attack the person teaching that doctrine, unless of course they're under your authority, like in your movement or a leader in your church. And even then you don't attack them, you bring them in and you correct it in that way. The best thing to do is to take deception and compare it to the word of God and say, here's what the word of God said, so this is why this is not true. There's no need to mention people, there's no need to attack people. And as prophets of God, you must be ready to bring that correction to call sin what it is. Not just so that you can feel powerful. It's not the purpose of it. Not just so that you have something to do, but God brings correction because he wants to bring redemption. Correction is for the sake of redemption. Correction is for the sake of redemption. I'll say it again, correction is for the sake of redemption. Prophetic people are bold, bold in correcting things that need to be corrected. Not angry, not confrontational per se, not unloving, not prideful, not arrogant, but they're bold in their warning. And sometimes the prophetic will bring warning. When you're correcting, make sure you're aligning with the word. And those are the nine signs that you are prophetic. Number one, discernment, not the gift of criticism, the gift of discernment. Number two, words of knowledge, the acquisition of natural information through supernatural means. Number three, words of wisdom. This is the acquisition of wisdom through supernatural means. Prophetic dreams and visions, foresight that's looking into the future, insight looking into hearts and minds, passion for God's word, which is the foundation of the prophetic. Number eight, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Your strength is your weakness and sensitivity is not just about how clearly you hear but about how quickly you respond. It doesn't impress me if you're talking constantly about hearing God, but never doing anything with what you've heard. Number nine, boldness in warning. Those are the nine signs that you are prophetic. Let's pray now. Let's pray that God would stir up that gift within you. Come on, father in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, for your people who you've anointed to walk in the prophetic. And I pray, Lord, that you would stir up that gift. Let them be attentive to your voice. Come on, I want you praying right now. Join your faith with mine right now. I pray you would touch your people, Lord. Let them come to know what it is to be used by you. I thank you, father, that you're moving in our midst. Just let them touch you right now. The mighty flow of the anointing here. Someone watching right now, your left eye has just been healed. Thank you, Jesus. An elbow has just been healed. Thank you, Lord. There's a skin rash that's going now in the name of Jesus. Tumors on the spine, right on the back of the neck. I rebuke that now in Jesus' name. Come on, church, begin to pray. There's a healing, virtue flowing right now. And I want you to do this while we're praying. Put your prayer requests in the comment section. Even if I don't see it, the people of God will see it and we're all joining faith together. Right now, put your prayer request out there. Put your prayer request out there. Thank you, Lord. I thank you, Jesus, for that healing, virtue. I command eyes to be open, ears be open. Somebody issues with your shoulders, very, very, very sharp pain in your shoulders. I rebuke it now in Jesus' name. I rebuke paralysis, goes. Heart disease, go in the name of Jesus. We pray against cancer, we rebuke it now. I want you right now, just by faith, begin to put your prayer request on the comment section. God's doing something here. And Lord, stir up that gift in the name of Jesus, we pray. And all God's people said, amen. Steve, how's the chat doing? The chat is doing amazing and I see all of your prayer requests here. So go ahead and continue to leave your prayer request and we'll see them and we'll pray for you. So thank you so much, guys. And again, I want to say thank you so much for liking this video. We're at 1.4,000 right now. So that is amazing. You guys have liked all these videos, or liked this video. So our next goal is 2,000. So if you can do that for us, that'd be amazing. So we're right now, I think we're gonna go ahead and go into the Q&A, I want to say. Not just yet. My apologies there, my brother. No problem, no problem. I want to read a portion of scripture to you. It's found in John chapter 12, where the Bible says, I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels, a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. I want to talk to you about becoming that seed in the ground. Jesus said that if you try to save your life, if you try to hang on to it, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for his sake, you'll find it. Jesus is talking about surrender, sacrifice, giving your life for him. Now, so often we say things like, Lord, I want to surrender my life to you. I want you to have all of me. By the way, we are gonna get into the Q and A right now, so stick around, but I want you to hear this. We say, Lord, I want you to have all of me. I want you to take my life. It's your, spend it for your glory. We pray prayers like that. Help me surrender every little bit of me. Yet, many of us are unsurrendered. Many of us hang on to that spirit of mammon. And when I say spirit, I'm talking about mindset, attitude. We have this mindset that says, I trust in my riches, not in my God. The surrendered life is all about laying it all down for Jesus. See, money is not just a matter of money. It's a matter of our love. Jesus said, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Your money and how you spend your money is a test of your love for him. Why? Because it means so much. To pretend that money isn't important would be just deceiving ourselves. We know money's important. It's not the most important thing, but it is important. How do I know that? Because that's when people start to get offended. Well, why is he talking about money? Well, if money wasn't that important, why do people get so upset when you talk about it? That's the truth. And so I encourage you today to allow the Holy Spirit to relinquish you from self. Jesus has never held back from you. Don't hold back from him. When you give to this ministry, you're not just giving to a ministry. You're giving to him. You're giving to him. It's your gift to Jesus, to our Lord, our wonderful. Hasn't he been good to you? Hasn't he been wonderful? He saved you, delivered you, healed you. He's shown his mercies to you every morning. His presence marks your life. What more could we ask from him? For God so loved the world he gave. His love moved him to give. So I wanna challenge you today.

So I preach again tomorrow morning, August 5th, 2021. So I'm kind of talking a little more reserved. And then the air conditioner was messing with my voice. I'll pray for healing in my voice right now. God can do it. We believe in miracles. But I wanna thank Isabel for giving a one-time gift. Thank you, Isabel. Amen, amen, gave a one-time gift. I think that was anonymous. Carmen, thank you for your gift. I see Umakantan. Thank you for your gift.

And then I see the Patrick family, our dear friends, Ronald, our dear friend Ronald Taylor gave a one-time gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All of this support counts, guys. You may think, oh, it's just my gift. Others will do it. No, no, no. That's the beauty of unity, is we can all participate. So if all of us are of the mindset of, oh, there's a lot of people watching, all the people will give, then no one will ever give. But if all of us are of the mindset of, hey, there's a lot of people watching, wow, what happens if we all give, then God does a wonderful thing. And it's all for the work of the gospel. Don't worry about the future. The Lord's gonna take care of you. Don't worry about what the news is saying. Don't worry about what they're saying about the coming days. You're in God's hands. And that security in him is what enables you to give toward the gospel. So do that now. Oh, thank you, Kate, for becoming a partner. Wow, thank you, Kate. And then Vanessa became a partner as well. And then Frank and Joanne, thank you for your gift. Thank you, Kate for partnering. Thank you, Vanessa for partnering. Thank you to Tatiana for partnering. Thank you for TA for your one-time gift and Pam and Galen Mays. And thank you also to Miro and so many others, so many others continuing to give. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I see the Super Chat Vita Roberts. It's just coming in from around the world. So we're thankful to you guys. I can't say thank you enough. I don't take it for granted. We so appreciate you. Your support means the world to me to know you're standing with me and going with me around the world. Really, when you give like this, that means that wherever Steve and I go, you're going with us. You're part of it. You're part of it. That's the fact. So thank you for your giving. Don't forget to like. Oh my goodness, Steve. They're at 1.5,000 likes at this point. 1.5, amazing, amazing. If you get to 2,000, that's the ministry trip right there. You get to 2,000 likes. Wow, wow, wow. That's the ministry trip. That would be interesting. It'd be a first time. So here's what I'll do. I will announce the book winner, Kim Shara. Kim Shara is our book winner. Usually I do the fanfare and the drag it out, but I wanna get to the Q&A. Kim Shara, you're the book winner. Make sure you contact our ministry. We're gonna be sending you those books. And who knows, we might be doing a trip giveaway, but it has to be done while we're live. Okay, Steve, we are ready for the Q&A. Ruben, we're ready to drop that over in the comment section. Hold on, wait, before you do, Ruben. Ruben right now is going to put a Zoom link in the comment section. People of God, go to Zoom, ask a question, and then come back to YouTube. If you're not gonna ask a question, there's no point in getting on Zoom. We wanna maintain, we have a strong viewership. Guys, we've only been doing this format of live stream for what, four weeks now? Yeah. About four weeks. And we're already averaging 12 to 1300 on a live stream. That's huge. I mean, that takes about six months on average usually to build to that kind of audience. And here our ministry is already seeing it within the first four weeks. This is incredible. So I wanna see 10,000 concurrent viewers. And I think we'll go even further than that, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000. We are gonna get there. So I'm gonna remind you every Wednesday, 6 p.m., make it your thing. Come join us. If you're in a part of the world that's locked down, you can't get anywhere. This is a wonderful thing to do. If not, then hey, join us anyway. The Spirit Family meets Wednesday, 6 p.m., Pacific Standard Time right here on YouTube. So let's get that up to the next goal will be about 2,000 concurrent viewers. We're already averaging 12, 1300, which is really good for just four weeks of this format of live stream. So thank you guys. We love you. But Ruben is gonna drop the Zoom link in there. Please don't all migrate over there. There's nothing. I can't see you on Zoom. Just so you know, right now I can't. Usually I can, but in this setting, there's nowhere for me to see you. So go to Zoom, ask a question. The rest of you stay on YouTube. Okay, Ruben, go ahead with that Zoom link. And Steve, go ahead with setting them up for questions. All right, so if you guys want your questions answered here on YouTube, all you gotta do is go ahead and leave them in the comment section where you've been commenting all night and it's been so amazing to see all your comments. So again, if you want your question answered, I will be looking at them as many as I possibly can over on YouTube. So we're gonna go ahead right now. I have a few questions that were asked earlier, but I wanted to save them for right now. And I wanna go ahead and start off this Q&A with a question from our friend Dominic. And Dominic said, is deja vu, is deja vu spiritual? It could be. I don't have a certain answer on that because the scripture isn't specific on that. So where the scripture is unclear, never be dogmatic. Now, this is where I was talking about prophetic people being very sensitive. We are sensitive. And what I've noticed is that when you don't agree with them on certain things, they get kind of offended. So if I say, oh, deja vu isn't spiritual, they say, well, I believe it is and they kind of get worked up and upset about it. These are the types of things, just as an example on a side note, that's a good example and good training in the spiritual realm so that you can learn to not be worked up by these things. But anyway, that's on a side note, specifically on deja vu, it could be. I don't know everything. I only know what the scripture says. And so God can use deja vu. If God uses deja vu, then there's a spiritual element to it. It's also possible that sometimes deja vu is spiritual. Sometimes it's not. It could be physiological. It could be circumstantial. There are many factors that can play into it. I don't know what it is exactly. There are theories on what it might be. It could be spiritual. My short answer, I don't know. The scripture doesn't specifically say. So it could be, it could not be, but don't get too focused. These are the things, guys, I mean, when we get off the foundation of the word. So deja vu, I would never teach on it. I would never teach on it in a class and say, oh, guys, this could be, why? It may be interesting, but teaching on deja vu, where's the fruit in that? Why would I teach on something where the scripture is unclear? It's just, it's not gonna bear much fruit. And then people become obsessed with that idea and it takes them on this trail down to the bizarre and the weird. Not that deja vu in and of itself is super strange, but it's the first step. People start going into those directions and they wanna get into everything. Is this spiritual? Is this spiritual? Is this spiritual? Is this prophetic? Is this prophetic? And it just leads you down this road to where you become distracted. So don't wander too far from the word. Never go that second layer. The first layer is deja vu, spiritual or prophetic. The first layer, well, it's not mentioned in scripture, so it could be. And that's where it stops. Don't go down that third, fourth, fifth layer to where now, all of a sudden, you get deja vu and you're freaking out saying, Lord, what are you trying to say to me? You know what I'm saying? It's the application of these ideas that really can lead to certain things that are concerning. Be careful with that. We thank you for that question. Before I jump into the next couple of questions here, I wanna go ahead and thank a few people over on YouTube Super Chat. Wanna go ahead and thank Kari. I wanna thank Erli. I wanna also thank, oh my goodness, they're flying by. I wanna thank Ada. Thank you so much for YouTube Super Chat. I wanna thank our friend Dylan and I wanna thank our friend Dylan as well. He became an ETV Insider, so welcome, welcome. That's awesome. And now he can use those emojis. He's unlocked the emojis and I wanna go ahead and thank Justin. So thank you guys so much for your YouTube Super Chat. I see him and we appreciate them. We love you. I've got some people too, Steve, before you get into that. Go right ahead. Marina became a partner. Kara-Dad, thank you for your gift. Nar, thank you for your gift. Kiana, thank you for becoming a partner. Gustavo, thank you for your gift. Eden, thank you for your gift. Angela, thank you for your gift. Nadine and Cynthia and Terry and Jackie and April. Alonzo, Kanzi, Angela again and then Kidain and also Chelsea became a partner and Denise gave a gift and Michelle became a partner and Ingrid became a partner and Khlo gave a gift and Mioyo gave a one-time gift. Aubrey gave a gift, so did dad. I mean, it's just coming in from all over the world. So thank you. Your generosity just overwhelms me and we thank you for it, Steve. Okay, so this next question comes from our friend Morgan. On YouTube, Morgan wants to know, what do you do when a person claiming to be prophetic tries to manipulate you into doing things for them because they claim God told them to but it goes against the word of God? Don't do it and don't have contact with that person. If someone is telling you to do something that violates the word of God, I don't even know what to say to that. Right. I mean, I'm trying to be kind but don't even, don't have anything to do with that person. That's the answer. All right, we thank you. And I don't know if you wanted to jump over to Zoom yet or we can do another one. I have another one here. Go for it, Steve. All right, this question comes from our friend Carrie. Carrie wanted to know, I have given words of knowledge but seem to be missing more than getting accurate. Does this mean it's not a gift of mine? Say it one more time. I want to make sure I'm understanding. Carrie wrote, I have given words of knowledge but I seem to be missing more than getting accurate. Does this mean it's not a gift of mine? It's possible that that's what that means. It's possible. I mean, because the gift will work if it's the Lord. I don't say that to discourage anyone because sometimes people do speak out of their emotions out of their minds and this doesn't mean that they're doing it with ill intent. Sometimes people very sincerely believe they're hearing from the Lord and they minister what they think is a word from God and it turns out not to be the case. What you can do is calibrate or make adjustments. Try to pinpoint what was it I was feeling, sensing in that moment so that I know in the future that that's me and my thoughts and not necessarily the Lord. That might be a good practice and after you calibrate that, if it still doesn't manifest after stepping out on faith, as they say praying into it, then it's possible that that is not one of the gifts God's given you but there are many different prophetic expressions and it could be that you work in the prophetic in a different way. It doesn't mean you're not prophetic but it could mean that the word of knowledge is not the way that God uses you in the prophetic. So it could be one of two things. It could be, A, you have the gift and it's just not calibrated yet or it could be that the gift is not on your life but that God will speak to you in other prophetic ways. Either way, nothing to be discouraged about. Keep pursuing the Lord, keep stepping out in faith and keep asking him to guide you as you learn to harness, calibrate and use this gift. Amen, keep on going, keep on going. Okay, this question comes from our friend Kitty. Kitty wanted to know, in the lucid state, are we able to make choices like which direction to take at a fork in the road? I don't understand the question. I'm gonna be honest with you. Are you talking about lucid dreaming? Yeah, I believe it was when you were talking about prophetic dreams and visions. You know, this is what I mean by adding the layers to the prophetic. I have nothing to say about lucid dreaming because the scripture has nothing to say about it and if you want some guidance on it, get some guidance for some people who've had that experience maybe, but be very, very careful with this. This is what I'm talking about. Be very careful with this. We can't make doctrines out of these things and say this is for sure or this is certain. Can God speak to you in a lucid dream? Absolutely, God can use anything to speak to you. But should we therefore take what we've experienced and use it as a point of doctrine in regards to dreams and visions in the Lord? No, that's definitely not something we should be doing. So as far as lucid dreaming, I don't have much commentary on it because the scripture doesn't. Does God use dreams? Yes. Is lucid dreaming dreaming? Yes. So can God use a lucid dream? Yes. Beyond that, going into the details, exploring it, now you're starting to step off that foundation. It's not heresy. It's not wrong or demonic to kind of explore that question and see it from different angles, but to create a doctrine upon which you base your entire prophetic ministry, that or even a prophetic teaching, that's where you get into trouble. So don't leave the foundation of the word. Let's do one from Zoom, Ruben. Caitlin, welcome to Viva Revival, the Holy Spirit's live stream. What is your question? Hello. Hi. Hi, Pastor David. So I've been a bit confused. I was under a ministry and well, the prophet is... I'm gonna stop you. I wanna say this just, and I'm so sorry, please forgive me for interrupting you. I just wanna make sure, don't name the ministry or the pastor. And this is a thing for all of our callers, when you call in, this is a very public forum. Don't name churches, pastors, ministries, in any of the stories or questions, just to be safe. I don't wanna dishonor anyone or cause confusion or anything like that. So continue though. Okay, so I was a bit confused because she would tell me that like, if I give her money, it would open her prophetic eye. And it's been confusing me because I don't know if this is scriptural or not. No. Nowhere in the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible, that's manipulation. That's not only manipulation. I will be so bold as to say that's sorcery. The exchange of the monetary for the spiritual is the definition of sorcery. You pay me and I'll do what you need. That's sorcery. You're not talking to a prophet, you're talking to a psychic. Well, so that's the truth of the matter there. And now you see why I don't do the whole name thing. But Ruben, who else we got? Jormin, welcome to Vyra Revival, the Holy Spirit's livestream. What's your question, my friend? How you doing, Patrick? My question is, I'm new to the faith and I wanted to know is baptism necessary for entry into heaven? And is this something I should be pursuing immediately or should I create a relationship with God first? Necessary for entry into heaven, no. But very important, very, very important. I mean, we're talking about people across the world who possibly maybe get saved and then they're persecuted before they ever get into baptism. And I know of stories of people who got saved, practiced their faith, and before they ever made it to their baptism, they were beheaded. But we are commanded to be baptized. It's something we should do. It's something we should practice. It's a very important thing that we ought to do. Now, I know there's gonna be a myriad of disagreements on this particular topic, but the Scripture is clear that we're saved by grace through faith in who? In Christ Jesus, the finished work of the cross. So anything added to that that's works, now you're getting into a works-based gospel. Now, if I'm truly saved, I want to obey the commands that God has given me. And in wanting to obey his commands, I will want to be baptized. So salvation produces works, but works can never produce salvation. So when I am saved, I receive the Holy Spirit. Romans 8-9 makes it clear that I can't belong to God unless I have the Holy Spirit. So when I'm saved, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in me and he starts to give me desires. What are those desires? Romans 8-26 desires, groanings, what according to the will of God? What is the will of God? It's found in the Word of God. So the Holy Spirit inclines my heart. He bends me toward the will of God. And in doing so, he's going to cause me to want to fulfill every command that God has given to me. And baptism is more than just being put in water. See, there's nothing that's symbolic in the New Testament or strictly symbolic. Otherwise, what we have is powerless religious ritual. So like communion. It's not literally physically turning into flesh, but in the spirit, we are communing with the Lord. Baptism, when we're being placed under those waters, yeah, it's physical water, but there's something actually happening in that act of very spiritual thing. And this is why people have encounters with God while being baptized. So baptism is very, very, very important, but if you die, you know, you're scheduled to be baptized and you die, you slip, you're walking into the tub and you slip and break your neck before you're baptized. Let's just say that worst case scenario. You're not gonna go to hell because you missed that, okay? So no, it's not a requirement for salvation, but it is a requirement. Okay, next question. Sherri Ann, welcome to Vyra Revival. What's your question? Hi, thanks for taking me. I did have a question regarding like words that people can release prophetically. So I understand that prophecy is meant to correct, encourage, or edify, but recently I met somebody and obviously I know you're not mentioning of names. They released a word and it was very, very hurtful to me and it didn't correct, but it actually hurt my feelings. It was more like they would list like a Jewish animal that was like unclean and they'd be like, oh, God revealed to me like that's what you are, and I'm like, that doesn't, I mean, is that possible? Or is that, I think it was very hurtful, but at the same time I'm also the type of person that if the Lord wants me to repent over something, I have no problem doing that. If they were so prophetic, not only would they have given you the animal, but they would have given you what it was that caused the Lord to say that about you. You look at all the prophets in the Old Testament and in the New, whenever they called someone out, like John calling out the Pharisees, rude of vipers, he told them why he was telling them that. So this to me does not sound like a prophetic word, not even close. Okay. That's scriptural. And I'm just kind of, when people ask me these questions, what I'm doing is I'm going back in the catalog, just kind of boom, boom, boom, boom, looking at different instances trying to find where we would see that. And in this instance, there's no purpose. There's always a purpose to a prophetic word. So the purpose is never just to call you something negative. God does call people negative things. You look at the Old Testament especially, God called people harlots, okay? So he calls them names, but he gives the reason as to why he's calling them these names. So if there was no reason given, there was no direction, then it's not a prophetic word. Is always going to give some type of direction, something that comes next. But this does not sound like it. So I would say toss it out. And we know what I like about you. I can tell that you're asking this question because yeah, it hurts you. But at the same time, you're like, I don't want to miss God on this. And that's what I like that humility of, okay, I was offended, but I still need to have the humility to approach this and see what God is saying. I love that. And you don't think that God would respond to that. He resists the prowl of what he gives grace to the humble. He would embrace that and he would tell you, he would correct you, he would make it very clear. But the fact that nothing was made clear like that, I would say to you, based solely on scripture, you have every right to toss that out and never think of that word again. Okay, thank you. God bless you. Okay, Ruben, who else do we have? Amanda, welcome to viral revival. What is your question? Can you hear me? I can hear you loud and clear. Cool. My question is, do you think bipolar disorder can be confused with being sensitive to the spirit? Oh, absolutely. There's a lot of things that we can confuse for the Holy Spirit's voice and demonic activity. So bipolar disorder, I don't understand it fully. I know a couple of people who have it. And mental illness can be caused by demonic power, but not all mental illnesses are caused by demonic power. For example, I know a gentleman who was in a motorcycle accident and when he hit his head, because of the buildup in his brain, it completely changed his personality until the swelling went down and until they were able to help him with certain medications and therapy. And I saw that firsthand. He was a guy, Holy Ghost, filled with the spirit, practiced the word, lived with integrity, loved his family. I mean, you name it, hits his head, and then he becomes this whole different person. And that wasn't demonic. That also obviously wasn't the Lord. So there are certain things physically about us that can affect behavior. And the Lord will help us overcome those things, of course, but bipolar disorder is one of those things that is based in the real world. And this is where people, I think the body of Christ, I think can do more. Body of Christ does a good job, but can do more in this area of mental illness because especially in our world, especially in the charismatic world, we, and I'll throw myself in there with everyone, we can sometimes identify something as being spiritual when it is in fact natural. And people become tormented. They go through never-ending cycles of needing deliverance. They feel guilty about what they're struggling with. So again, mental illness can be spiritual, but not all mental illness is. So yes, bipolar disorder, OCD, I know people who have forms of OCD and what happens with them is they'll have a thought, right? For something as simple as peel the label off the water bottle and they'll think it and just a thought. And then once they ask the question, Lord, was that you? Oh, forget it. They're not going to be able to not do it because even if they go, well, is that the Lord I don't think it is? Well, I don't want to miss him. Well, it could maybe just me being me. Well, I don't want to ignore God's voice. Well, I might just be being silly and they go back and forth, back and forth because they had a thought. Then they asked the question, could this be the Lord? And then they obsess OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. They're compelled to obsess over that detail. Same thing is true of people who think they have demons when they don't. Now, people can be demon possessed. We all know demon possession is a reality even today. Deliverance is a necessity to be practiced even today. But there are some people, sadly who are dealing with OCD or anxiety or bipolar disorder who are spirit-filled people, practice the word of God, pray, worship, love people. They're godly characters. They don't have any open doors in their life, as people would say. And they get caught up in this and they become obsessed. So you tell a person like that, well, you probably have a demon and you just don't know it. Well, of course that's gonna cause them to exhibit the behaviors of oppression because now you're putting it in their head and they can't get it out of their head. So this is why we have to be careful with the spiritual realm as it pertains to mental illness because just as you could have a sickness of the bladder or a sickness of the kidney or a sickness of the lung, so you can have a sickness of the brain. And it doesn't make you any less spiritual just because you struggle with that. Can it be spiritual? Yes. Can it be rooted in a spiritual thing? Yes. In fact, in a way, indirectly, all sickness came about as a result of sin. That's just the fallen world in which we live. And we have to be careful when navigating this for sure. It can be cause it could even be intensified and prolonged by demonic beings. They can harass you with deception. Remember, Christians are affected by the demonic realm through deception, strongholds. It's the only way demons can affect Christians. It's through deception. And so that's that battle, right? In the mind, back forth, back forth, back forth. So the way you can ground yourself is, again, coming back to the word. And that is how I will answer that question. Steve, how's YouTube chat doing? YouTube's doing amazing. And I want to go ahead and get another question going here. This question came from our friend, Aaron. Aaron wanted to know, do you feel that God chooses to speak stronger in the late hour than the daytime hour? I feel most words come at night. Why is that? Any thought? It could just be because you're most aware. I mean, personally, God speaks to me more often in the night. And I can't explain why that is. In fact, let me show you something. This is kind of cool. I forgot to mention this. I think I sent it to myself. I think, okay, yeah. Let me think, okay. Steve, I woke up this morning. And as I was, like I'm still asleep and then I wake up and I have this sermon in my head, the whole thing. Wow. And I saw the title, Sins of the Tongue. Lying, slander, gossip, complaining, blasphemy and accusation. All of that in my head when I woke up and I saw it, Sins of the Tongue. And I thought, that's the topic we have to do. Sins of the Tongue. Things you say that are sinful. Cause Jesus said it's not what goes into a man that defiles him. It's what comes out. And I heard that scripture when I was waking up to all of it, just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And it happened in the morning, which rarely happens for me, by the way. It's usually at night, but I have to wake up, pull my phone out and write down what I'm getting. But that just, the whole thing, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and all the sub points too. It's all in my head. I had to preach this thing. I could preach this now. But it was like a download in my mind. I was astonished at it. So anyway, I got to send that to myself through email so I can put together the outline. But I think God can speak anytime. I mean, you see, there's visions of the night. There's visions of the day. Deep sleep falling on people. Midday God speaks. Nighttime God speaks. Morning God, he can speak anytime. So no, I don't think there's an intensification of when God speaks. I think it's a case by case situation, depending upon what the individual is experiencing at that moment. Are they attentive to the presence of God or not? So that's very key. Let's do another YouTube one, Steve. All right, this question comes from our friend, Micah. Micah wanted to know, what happened between Genesis one and two? Is there a gap? So there's a theory that's called the gap theory. And the theory goes that before Adam and Eve were created, there was another human race that lived on the earth and that they were destroyed. The theory goes that there are millions, possibly billions of years, between Genesis one and Genesis two. And this has a lot to do, or I should say, this idea was formed primarily upon the Hebrew wording in Genesis chapter one, verse two. You know, the earth was void and formless. That right there, that void and formless phrase is found, I believe, in Jeremiah. And in Jeremiah, it's describing a city that was destroyed. So they say, oh, the earth had been destroyed and there was something on there beforehand. However, I personally do not hold to this belief. Some wonderful people of God who've mentored me, who I love, hold to this. Some wonderful people of God who I love in ministry, hold to this. And by the way, guys, differences don't have to become divisions. Come on. Never take it personal when someone teaches against something that you teach. Just like you teach things against what other people teach, you don't have people in mind when you're doing it, you just teach it. So on this gap theory, don't take it personal if I'm teaching against it. Not teaching against anyone. I'm just addressing an idea and why I don't believe it's true. This idea here, I guess that would be against, but my point is you're not against people, you go back and forth with ideas and it's good to do that, it's healthy to do that. The reason I don't believe the gap theory is because the scripture makes it clear that it was by sin that death entered. It was not a world filled with death before there was sin. It was by one man's sin, Adam, that death entered. The scripture makes that abundantly clear that it was through the sin of Adam that death entered. So then, if there was a pre-adamic race, then that scripture is not true. Because if there was a pre-adamic race, that means that death came before sin. It can't be the case. Because we know that it was by Adam's sin that death entered. And God called creation good, meaning complete, perfect, whole, mature, lacking nothing. Would God have said the earth was good if Adam and Eve were standing through layers of sediment upon the dead bodies of a pre-adamic race? No, so that's where I stand on that.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZcFN2BrCWc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Yeah, and if I just look at my My last what I said Okay, I see Okay, so If you look at it here Today we have a swery I'm kind of having an interview with him because he's actually he runs an e-commerce store He's from Norway as well. And so he's an e-commerce entrepreneur. And before we met Sorry, what are the numbers were you doing? like So I had like a really slow time Starting from black friday 2019 All the way and then of course corona hit. Yeah, so when it was may I don't know if you can see my screen now in may like I had number of zero days And I I was Below breaking even or just broke even it just died. Everything just died I used an agency and I didn't know I didn't know how to handle like And my first email with you was june 4th If you go to june 4th here, I didn't start immediately with your strategy. So June 4th was actually a good day And Yeah, I had uh, I had $1,500 a day But that was the best day I had all year And that was the day I talked to you the first time And I had like real liquidity problems because of this because I had I lost about $250,000 because of this So from june 4th up until it took me about a week and a half to really get going and as you can see from from the screen Now the average is Just every single day is good And my sales are about three four times as much As they were You mentioned you did what is it 450? But this is without scaling. I have still a problem Finding enough merchandise. So I haven't scaled ads since june new july I just stepped on that level and it's so hard to get enough merchandise So this is not representative about how good it's going. It should be twice three times of this So I'm taking it careful because of another thing you taught me was When you showed me the internal rating system, which I had never heard of before and Because of the internal rating system and because I was aware of it. I was able to mitigate the problems And that other people have not been able to mitigate getting under Under the threshold level, which has been incredibly important. So right now my my rating is something like 3.5 I think or so it's it's doing really well on the rating consumer feedback rating Okay, and this is all uh norwegian market only, right? Norwegian market single products one store And in the meantime, I've lost another I've I've launched another business This is that now we have just sales everywhere. We launched here. Yep, and uh, we we're just getting started now. It's just like the first test getting our Getting our averages up so we can buy ads and do Basically everything again, but in a much larger scale and also in many countries Okay, so because like before before we met you already doing Some sales, right? So can you tell me like what exactly was the change that allowed you to scale? Uh, is it like the tech techniques? Is it like How I like to see my what I do is like one any pitch one offer and then I drive tons of traffic So what do you think was the difference for you to get to the next level? Well, it was the confidence because um, The reason why it worked so well, I mean, of course it was It had to work at that moment. Yeah, like I didn't have I didn't have a plan B at all like this was This was the almost the end of where I thought like If I'm gonna do it this has to be right now And I just remember my parents were here Like the day almost the day of when when I had to talk with you and I had angry customers on one side and I had some some creditor calls and I had everything at once Like because you when you have when when things slow down all of a sudden a bunch of things happen And I just remember that that drive we took for two hours I had like 50 calls from all kinds of parties and it was so stressful And the next day I started selling that was like literally the next day it started opening up And the liquidity came back and came way back like much better than before So now I'm doing what's equivalent or the If you're gonna if you're gonna extrapolate it to a year, it would be about 600,000 dollars, maybe And uh, that's with equivalent be equivalent to maybe 200,000 profits And your net margins what like around 30 35% is it? Yeah, I spend about 30 on product 30 on ads and 30 on Approximately Okay, I'm so so what is that what I got from you was the confidence. I mean, I didn't have any confidence in because Like eight months of just like dread. Yeah And it started black friday 2019 which is now Which is now And by the way, I used an agency back then. Yeah, which uh, which controlled my budget So the reason why I had such a disaster Experience after black friday was because they were they were killing my budget Yeah from the ukraine And I had no impact No impact no control over any of this It was an awful situation to be in So I mean because like you can clearly see like here, right? Like this is just massive like around what three four times increase Right. Yeah. So but then again, it's like you have to know way more than that I think it's if you look at you have to look at the sort of the math Yeah, and you look at the end like here from october 7 It's just not a down day Everything is up. So yeah, okay And like this is actually a pretty realistic Scaling sorry, so now you're very good Yeah, so often when you see people that scale they do it in almost a straight line and it's From zero and then it's like one and then four and then 10 and then and you end up in like 10 000 days Yes, you can But the real issue is the goods if it's a digital good, that's fine. You can do that But the the logistics and the problems that come alongside I think that cannot be overstated how problematic that is The logistical issues It's really not about the ad. It's not about the technique It's about getting enough merchandise And handling the people that are disappointed because in corona you have all these new different kind of problems that you did not before and Handling all these things is equally important as knowing like the techniques of Of making a facebook ad because that's become Significantly easier since I did my first one basically you can trust automation and a lot of these things but But like having like responding to customers and these things are Incredibly important like I do probably a third of my sales on the phone So you look at if you look at the orders I don't know if you can see it in this screen here But if you look at the analytics here from this year if you look at here, it says draft orders Yep, that's about 14 000 And then you have here where you have Shopify for android. That's also a draft order That's 20 000 in sales On the phone Yeah, but I mean that's because your product is high ticket, right? So it's necessary, right? Yeah, yeah, but it's it's incredibly important because really what you're selling is you're selling like believing someone like the confidence in in In believing that the product is what you think it is and and it's also a quite a good way to mitigate um The drop shippers because we have a number of drop shippers here locally that masquerade as being a local company and about 30 to 50 percent at least in my sector for sure And when you're actually on the phone, you're speaking a local language and you're Like a small thing I picked up like you put up you put up just a flag No, like a map I mean, sorry. Yeah And you just say here I am like right here is the office in the middle of the center Stuff like that matters a lot like you wouldn't think it do It does but it's really it really does Okay, um Besides confidence Because confidence is like a it's a mental thing But uh, like action action gets you results. So what exactly yeah From you. Yeah Like when the the way you broke down, especially something I really liked was where you broke down Traffic into cold. I don't know what I still don't remember what you call it But but like the cold media a cold medium and warm. Yeah was really effective to understand how it works and But basically like you solved 50 problems for me It's hard to say exactly what it was because it was But I knew this you can always always read Or watch on youtube and you find out A majority of things but it was so believable Like what you're selling is is confidence in you in yourself and also believing what you're saying. So right now this is a live Shopify, of course and When I yeah, you go cut off Yeah, I just got a call But then it just cuts off. So you're seeing my live My live Shopify And that matters a lot when you're gonna buy like a person like me. It's gonna trust you Because it's live like this is a very familiar scene. And I think he commerce is also about Like just believing what you're being told Yep Understood. It's difficult. It's difficult to to You know to Okay, so I mean deliver what people are expecting Enough about me, right sweet. Sorry. Um, how did you get into the game? I'll hold out the news that uh, Either I start selling or yeah, how do you even get yeah, the first first steps into this Yeah, I bought my my sister a christmas present, which was it's called the orgasm drawn It sounds crazy to give it to your sister, but it's like a head massager Yeah, and it was an australian product and I became like I delivered it to a few stores and That was my first taste of import and And then another friend who I ran a car rental business where I had the fleet of cars and then he rented one car front And he was delivering it back and I heard their Shopify the notification when you had the sales And he showed me like how it worked and that was like literally the notification sound was the reason why I started That I dropped it for a bit. Okay Because he told me about the dropshipping. Yeah, I broke even maybe little made a little bit of money sold Fucking bullshit to america Oh, yeah Yeah, I think another call And uh, I I saw sold bullshit to americans But that's like it the product is low quality and also it's uh The shipment is so important like the the two things that people care about by the way When you buy something is that it's shipped fast And uh, you reply to an email or a phone call It's the two most important things when you're going to sell something Okay, so how do you think that's important? So that's why dropshipping is uh Is a completely non-starter like you can't do it. Yeah, I'm sorry How how did you um come to even uh, so you bought your your chris sister A present right that you saw there's a market for it. They went to sell a similar product. Yes 12 years ago 15 years ago, but okay, but that was my first taste of it Yeah, so I mean how does the business transition I had Because you drop shit right there after a while. Yeah, you after a while you realize that it is not sustainable Yeah, I dropped it and I stopped And then I I needed an ozone generator For a car that smelled like shit that I had And it was so expensive to buy here So I bought it from a guy on ebay, which turned out to be one of my suppliers now And I bought a single machine and I put it up on our local version of ebay and it was sold before I got it So I bought two more With the same amount of money and I kept selling them on like ebay like markets And obviously people were interested enough that they were searching for it And it's kind of like a product that people know, but they can't find it locally if it's expensive It's technical difficult. So I sold like five machines which was all funded from that one machine And then I had some tiny problem and I lost all confidence and I stopped And then a year and a half later I picked it up again and I put up one ad on facebook from using the drop shipper guide that the guy showed me a year and a half ago And it just worked And that one machine I bought turned into pallets of machines And by Christmas I was making like five times more on this than anything else I was doing Okay, so it was really like step by step, but I didn't invest anything So I never had the plan to do it. So it became a little difficult because I didn't plan for it So I had no structure in place Okay, I understood what because you you are spending Before you met you spending a certain amount. So I'm guessing you are scared to spend a bit more In that confidence thing, right? Because it was About $200 every day and that was what I felt that should be Okay Okay, then how did you transition from like Buying stock Do you buy stock now or no I buy one do you buy stock in Like packages you buy multiple units now because you say you store in the warehouse now. Yeah Yeah So because yeah, I store it, but I I still have a hard time having enough still after two years Because it's a very popular product And because of corona made everything a hundred times harder Yeah Okay, I understood what what do you want to take this store? This current store that you skilled to is there some Dollar amount is there something I'm gonna make it No, but it's like a money. It's a money machine. That's sort of the The engine behind everything else So I'm trying to To scale this maybe to another country or two Yep, and then of course push the gas properly once I'm sort of where I'm I felt like I was a year ago Where I had the confidence and then it all all of a sudden stopped because I was doing really well exactly one year ago before black friday And using an agency and all this but the the problem when I had an agency is I had no flexibility Because I couldn't control my own budget Which turns out to be the most important thing of everything. Yep. So I think I also don't spend so much time analyzing the numbers Like the the facebook numbers Because you have like I know them by heart like I know what my Daily costs are I know where my break even is and I know mentally like where I have to be On the day to be happy So I'm only worried about profits and I it doesn't help me to do it on in excel I mean I do everything excel. Yeah except for my my income Because like I know exactly what it is And I think that's incredibly important as well to just know like how much money Yeah, I think it's good cash flow cash flow management. I basically Yeah, incredibly important Uh Your your your increase, right? It's like it's almost it's like two times. It's almost the two times on this chart right here Right. So like you also told me that your ads were more consistent Right after you implemented the sop and blah blah. That's what's so surprising. Why why why do you do it very consistent? And why do you think so I I know why Yeah, I want to I want to hear how why you why you think it's more consistent I mean I build a framework so I know why but I want to hear your opinion Yeah So I I mean I guess my guess is it's related to that the AI is getting smarter That's my gut feeling that the AI is more predictable, but it's also disturbing how How predictable the nature of the sales are But that's my own real guess. I I don't spend time thinking about that. Why is it happening? uh because the the landing page Template that I gave you is built for co-traffic So you're supposed to bring any type of customer who doesn't know you into the the pain point and the whatever Then the selling the benefit blah blah blah. So it's it's it's like direct response What's called template is it's like best best practice So anybody who's like who doesn't know your brand doesn't know like or trust you is supposed to convert their customer Yeah, whereas in in the past, uh, I remember don't know whether you realize your FAQ was like Very very skeleton. There's like barely anything there. So people can't really don't really trust that. Yeah And then that in turn that increases possibility which tells you that hey, my roeus is high So you have more confidence to scale as well Does that make sense Yeah, so so that's why But really a confidence business it really is Yeah, yeah, because you implement action and then you see a positive result. So it's like a positive look, but yeah Yeah, so right before Right before We started talking My new store, which uh, it's not really launching. We're running some ads just And I made a sale and it's remarkable That tiny little 30 dollar sale. Yeah, how much it does do you mentally? It's remarkable Even though it doesn't matter what it's doing now and it's it's not affecting my Uh, my anything plans or anything But but numbers like getting sales getting the first like few sales in Is unlike anything else. Like it's like nothing Unbelievable and it's so important like when you think like this shouldn't be that important because Like uh, you're you're selling online and In a faceless way in a way. Yeah, but it's really the same business as it's always been Yeah, that's correct. Okay. Can I ask right? How how did you find me in the first place? I guess one of the groups On the facebook group That I now left. I think it's called facebook ad buyers. Is it okay? The ads mastermind. Is that the one? Uh, I think it's ad buyers And uh, there's so many of those and you made a video. Yeah, and I've seen a thousand videos like that And they all kind of look like you and they all talk like you and they're all like they have this solution And and my my question is always the same. Why are you telling me this if it's so great? But your video stood out and I watched the whole thing and I contacted you immediately and the reason why is uh, you Showed the the workings how you you just skipped through the How rich and how many Ferraris I'm gonna have and all this. Yeah, and you skipped directly to For like this is what my customer did And this is the result and it was very like believable Okay Okay, that's great. Then so I mean that that's why you contacted this in a sense trust right because Transparency, okay, got it. Yeah transparency is a huge deal like now showing my screen Uh, you got nothing to hide really nothing doing the same thing, right? Yeah, that's okay Okay, so I mean now that you've got uh, the knowledge right and the confidence to like go into any market any industry You know how to to like make sales, right? Like why what's your? This your phone business your phone case business. What do you plan to do with it with your partner, etc? Yeah Uh, so right now we're just We're attacking it from about 10 different ways Basic e-commerce is one of them Uh, but we have about 10 different Ways to approach it like we weren't sure if this is a pure e-commerce business If this is like 50 percent e-commerce 50 percent retail Like how the cost how the dynamics and in the regular retail market is Uh, so we learned a lot about that but ultimately Uh, we are selling online profitable Uh, and we're going to expand Significantly in the next like month month after two months And then in about a month or two, we're going to expand to a country number two Because we realize that the logistics make it because it's so small and light the product we can just sell globally and The shipping is not going to kill us. Okay, so it's uh It's an interesting problem because it's more of a building of a brand. Yes. So it's just completely different like What you're doing. So i'm not 100 sure what i'm doing, but it's a good product and I think that's Really the the key thing like you cannot sell shit. Yeah If it's good, it's just so much easier You don't have returns, you know, because even just two percent returns. It just kills you. It just kills your margins. Yeah, all right I think that's the most common problem You are like, uh, this this singular product this one is like high high ticket high margin, right? So you're you went you went to basically in the phone case businesses It's the low margin volume of business, right? So why make that change since you know, for example, it's like But it's not low margin. Okay. Okay. Low price low aov, right? Yeah. Yeah, but still I mean it's I know what you mean, but if you sell A case and a screen protector It's like $50 And they do not cost me $50. I can tell you that And the margins are much higher than I'm used to Uh, and also the The dynamics is just so different Uh, that it feels like If you if you look at other competitors you look at the companies you look at their numbers You look at like you've known them the entire way It's very feasible to reach huge numbers Not very but it's feasible to reach huge numbers in in this In this market, you can do it globally. You can do it Hyper locally you can do it in every which way you want. So I think that's appealing Okay, and uh, you guys are custom making the designs right now because you say you assemble in Norway, right? Is it Yeah, it's partly assembled in Norway and it's uh, it's a custom thing and so so it's like both in terms of like quality Protecting your phone. It's uh, the best possible And also in terms of like customizing your own designs. It's also quite unique. So Is it uh, it's also called unique by the way Yeah, yeah, is it difficult to find fulfillment centers, especially because you're in Norway and what's the second country you're expanding to? Well, right now we're fulfilling it ourselves Okay, so it's straight from you don't need uh What it's straight from your house. Then you fulfill How we fulfill? Yeah, you said you're fulfilling yourself right now, right? So are you shipping from the house? Okay No, no, no from the office, of course, but okay, okay But yeah, it's uh, the shipping costs when it comes to small things are Are low and also fulfilling yourself is like it's not a hard thing to do Yeah, you can reach very very large numbers. So just do everything yourself. Maybe have one employee So using uh, we can easily use a fulfillment center We have it locally here, but I mean it's just Just giving money away, especially when you have small products that don't weigh a lot It's much easier like my other my my primary store The one you helped me with it's a physically larger product It makes everything more difficult, but it's still you can still fulfill it yourself And I think it's the best to do that It's just more heavy. I work with Yeah, I work to treat shippers Uh, people to repack. It's just always a problem. So yeah so, I mean like I've uh, you're one of the few people who is like, uh Uh, you're confident to sell in the norway market even though it's small, right? Everybody who's job shipping Uh, generally they sell in the u.s. Right. So what what was I did the same I started in the u.s. Yeah, you switched for reason, right? So Were you like effort like this sucks or what what's the how all do you think the average customer is that buy online? If if you're gonna if you're gonna estimate like what is the typical Uh, person who buys is something online that they find on facebook Uh 28 to 32 Okay Yeah, you know my first I had another business And my first customer because I delivered it to their door just kind of to see It was a different product, but it And that was a 70 year old man wearing, uh This like working clothes like he used to be a carpenter, but it was now Uh, a senior citizen. Yeah, and I will say that's the average buyer In Norway or a senior citizen, um They are I completely forgotten And I keep coming back to them And this is the third store now and you still see signs that they are incredibly active They buy a lot much more than you think. Yeah, they're of course, uh easier to advertise to because they don't necessarily understand that It's an ad or yeah, they don't differentiate between types of content. I guess It's not in a cynical way. It's just more active and general online Like young people are are significant harder to sell to of course. I have like all kinds of customers, but The the older demographic like 70 to 80 are surprisingly active and completely Not advertised to at all So that that's the reason why you switch to the Norway market or no It's just home market own language Phone number you can talk to them Because I call a lot of stores before I buy. I don't generally generally trust a brand new store Okay, do you? Okay. Uh, yeah, I do I generally do yeah, I don't I don't shop much online to be honest I don't shop much as well, but when I shop I buy I don't ask. Yeah We got amazon to sweden yesterday. Yeah It opened up yesterday. Yeah, nice amazon.se And the norway is kind of also norway is the unique market. I have to say because we have customs We were outside of the EU so we're like like switzerland like the EEC so There is There is a barrier There is a barrier to entry here which makes it quite easy to To sell here And harder for people from abroad. So if you're a foreigner Who's running a drop shipping business? You have you have this problem that people are Worried about getting a customs Invoice after they get the the goods So it's the unique marketer Do you have any uh, personally because you have done it already do you have any advice for people who are like Scared to scale or like just getting into it because your your confidence thing is because you have a positive feedback look, right? So what's your advice to those people? Oh, I mean, uh, I I think that uh, uh, With if I hadn't met you I probably wouldn't even be an e-commerce now You're gonna quit like time. Okay. Okay Oh, it's such a crucial time to to get the right support like the right support and It's so toxic to go on a place like youtube or or instagram or something and you search for the word Shopify And you see all these people trying to tell you what to do and you have all these techniques It really reminds me a lot about finance and trading. You have a lot of same dynamics and it's hard to trust people it's hard to Because you really it's just like either people click buy or they don't So it's it's kind of similar to trading where I do buy or you sell. I mean, it's it's quite a simple thing But it just involves human psychology from beginning to end. So You can't really give advice, but but it's It's a huge moneymaker if you have a high ticket product Or some kind of unique advantage You have to have some kind of unique advantage And you cannot be selling random shit from early express. It's not worth it. Yeah I've considered a lot of product and I just Just haven't done it because there is Every single thing It's a saturated something or other even here locally So and you have to I don't I don't know how to Condense it into a philosophy and I don't I don't have to because my whole business is about myself So I don't try to teach anyone anything and like like if I have A niece or a nephew that's kind of hinting about getting a job or something like that you really like I'm glad I'm glad to have anyone like help anyone and have a small job or something like this But it really requires them to put some effort in it themselves And what I've noticed is that most people just don't Because it's a huge commitment to start selling something. It's a new thing. So I think this is the kind of business that Either you do it or you don't you're you're never going to be sort of talked into doing it So is that you want it or not basically I don't have a philosophy around it. I can't condense it into some kind of nice Sort of bullet point the kind of a thing Yeah, because it's really for me. It's Like I live in a unique way and I Like I live for work in a way and I don't think it's a bad thing and uh And I I think you kind of have to have a psycho mentality to be to start any kind of Product like this because it just takes everything from you. Yeah, but I just I still think it's worth You it's for your unique, right? You have a business partner. Is that correct? Yeah, and he's he's one of my unique advantages or unique benefits. So, uh, he is The expert when it comes to phones in Norway Okay, so And that that that's what I mean. You have to have some kind of advantage some kind of So he just knows the product really well basically Yeah, and And uh, I mean he was the first guy to start fixing phones and all these things and In the country one of the first in the world. So I think uh advantages like that are incredibly important Yeah, but also the fact that it's so you have to go so deep into the Into the skill set acquisition skill set. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You have to just live this So I don't have any friends on facebook or anything like I don't have anyone I I don't subscribe to anyone the only thing I I read on facebook is stuff about advertisements That's all I have like advertising groups and creative groups and all these things. Yeah So, I mean, I think that's That's where you have to kind of be What what's the and the six four I used to care about everything I don't care about anything Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good focus up focus Yeah Do you do you can tell like I don't have a ready made speech or anything Because I'm just focusing on myself. Yeah, it's good. That's good Do you have a six month time time plan from now to Whenever or is it more like hey, let's just January first. Yeah, I'm moving everything into LLCs So I've been Doing it sort of in a more haphazard way until now So everything is going to be structured like each store is his own LLC each project is his own LLC I've been scaling down everything else. That's not e-commerce or or at least internet advertising Business I'm I'm a little bit flirting with some lead generating businesses But it's completely a different skill set, but it's all the same thing. So I just think it's fun to Understand human psychology understand like why people do what they do online So I'm just focusing more on that. So I'm trying to increase my margins a little bit by using the doing the the lead generating business on top of it but Yeah, it's a for me. It's a natural match But I'm just more e-commerce Uh more professional The structure. Yeah What about yourself? for me um building software now And then just try to fill in the same thing. Yeah Yeah, there's no change man 100% Yeah, yeah Like what's what is it the software? I know it's I see that the deadline looming here Okay, yeah, it's in 13 seconds. Uh, this is like uh accounting Control how much yeah exactly Exactly like the the thing you you mentioned just now about the Your excel spreadsheet. Yes, basically eliminate all of that. Yeah Yeah, yeah It's really good. Do you pay per user or something like that? Yeah, correct. It's like a recurring revenue model. So it's uh Per months of thing. Yeah, yeah That's a good idea Yeah, because what the one of the last things the reasons why I trusted you You didn't talk about revenue. You only talked about Uh Roas and I think um Yeah, or yeah, and I think come whatever you talked about real numbers Yeah, like you like you said, right? You're you're gonna do 600. Is it 600k, right? Uh, usd this year We have 200k I'm doing it analyzed. So, uh, annualized. So if I if I continue this momentum in the beginning Yeah, okay. So my idea is to keep it that or or double like I'm trying to double every year That's my goal. I've been doing it for a few years now. Yeah at the end of the that net income Like you said the free cash flow is what matters that 200k. Yeah So, yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I don't like it. Also, you have to also like I'm I'm not too worried about for instance Like my product costs now. Yeah, because uh, they've been going up because of corona Of course because transportation costs are just immense now they cost more than the product almost and But I'm not too worried about that now. I'm trying to keep everything just rolling and the things working and slowly evolve but also sort of adding complexities to it and While I do that it's sort of just It comes down the the cost basis, but yeah Yeah, okay. Oh, yeah, I see the countdown time as well. Do you have any last word step? Yeah, I'm looking at it now. I'm looking at it now. Do you want to say any last advice? Nobody did weird talking about this because I used to be a journalist and I used to have like a high You interview people. No, I used to be on twitter and I always had this concise answer to everything and trying to sound smart And I don't anymore. So I just sound like in moron. I don't really speak that much English anymore Yeah So I sound like an idiot because like I didn't I didn't plan out what to say. I don't have a good I don't have a good answer to To that question And uh, like Yeah Okay, what what did you wish you knew? That that information that you know now that you wish you knew in the past That's interesting I wish I'd seen your video earlier and I wish I never used an agency Okay, so so basically On your own hands. Okay. Yeah, you have to control the budget. You have to Yeah Yeah, okay So, uh, I only have one agency experience. I know you run an agency I have no experience with your agency and I'm sure it's fine But my agency that I used was just a crocker ship	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzKFHNCQorM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you killbot if I do I will I will try to remember to give you credit As killbot said how fast does it run? I need my uh Do I have this snare shot sound effect? Let's just see You know, it's funny is I do hear myself in my headphones, but I didn't notice earlier that it wasn't coming over the right mic That seems like a bad thing I got those We'll be back after the break. I could have sworn I had a Rim shot sound effect, but I don't know maybe not at this That's a nice thought that I used to have one. I don't know what happened to it a very good search. Oh, well Yeah, instant rimshot.com probably still around I use that Yeah, I thought it was part of the default. I used to do it all the time Used to pull that one out Let's see. Let me see hold on. Oh, there's nothing in that folder. Never mind. Oh wait. Yeah, there was Just took a lot of quick burns bell These are all the things I've ever had in the sound board News theme Wrong Hey there fast road feeling good Fordo Shoutouts now. It's not in there. I would have seen it by now. These are in chronological order Are there sound effects? These are all just music, right? Jingles Yeah I mean I could find it But You know That would be work I bet I know where it is here Maybe it's on my hard drive Join me in the search for the rimshot sound effects assets Other effects There it is Rimshot was it worth it? Was it worth the long wait? I don't know why I don't have it in the sound board. Why did I remove that? And yet I kept that Hard to say my friends hard to say Oh Those of you who were on the live stream from Friday Or read my newsletter know about The scary parking email I got for the concert at the rose bowl So I will address I will address this in the newsletter as well But the in full I will address it in the newsletter, but the short version is Was it was all right? Maybe maybe that was the point of the scary email is to to scare everyone into doing something that will make their experience better, but We followed the instructions to go to the remote parking Had no problem finding the remote parking. They had nice big signs that event parking Followed it to a little parking garage had no problem getting into the parking garage finding a space And then spent almost an hour in line to get on the shuttle bus If we were cutting it close or in a hurry we would not have been pleased But maybe too many people were like us getting there a little early So that that was not great But That's really the only negative The shuttle buses were plentiful So once you got through the line and showed your ticket You were able to just jump right on a bus that had plenty of buses You didn't have to wait like we boarded a bus and it took off right away Dropped us off right by a gate walked right into the rose bowl Rose Bowl has the new security Sensors that don't require you to go through a metal detector. So you just walk through and if if it doesn't beep you're fine And then and then yeah, we just uh Went and enjoyed the show now. We did leave a little early. We didn't wait for the very last song So our experience may have been different if we had left along with everybody else But we were wanting to beat the crowd So we we walked out there was a short line to get on the bus Less than 10 minutes To get on the bus and then once again we got on the bus bus took off right away this time. We didn't have a seat Before they had not They had just you know filled the bus with with seated people this time There were a lot of us standing they were filling them a little a little bigger, I guess Uh, and then uh, yeah 10 minutes back to the parking garage again because we left early We were beating the rush a little but there was no one else going to the car in the parking garage. We were in so We got right out of our space Left the garage and and got home at a reasonable time So yeah, the parking part of the concert was better than we expected However, the concert itself was awesome. Uh, so that part was great although although The concert part the part where they were playing the music And doing the show was great. Uh, we got there Maybe 15 minutes. We knew we were going to miss the opening. We didn't care about seeing the first opener. There were two openers None of it three openers now that think about it But we only wanted to see the opener right before the the headliner Uh, so we got there right in time. It sat there for maybe 15 20 minutes Maybe 20 minutes maybe a little longer actually didn't feel like that long except that it rained And it was not supposed to rain And so we sat there wondering like, okay, is this going to get worse going to rain all night It rained maybe 15 minutes and it wasn't heavy except for like maybe a minute or two It started to feel like it was getting heavy, but we weren't drenched Uh, so that that was a little disconcerting. That's not anybody's fault. That's just the thing that happens Um, and we should have we should have known there was rain in the area We knew there was rain in the area, but we're like, oh the rain's supposed to be gone by this evening and none in Pasadena So we should be fine We were fine, but we were not as fine as we thought we were gonna be So we got a little wet And thankfully thankfully not very wet and we were dry by the time the show started It was a little chillier. I mean Not chilly. It was 60s Maybe 59 by the time we left But that was cooler than than we had expected But overall, yeah ambassador to domo good concert Good times had by me and Eileen and hopefully by all. Oh the one the one oddity We bought a bottle of water and they made a big deal about sustainability, which is great I'm all for that like, you know, some people are like rolling their eyes It's so preachy, but I'm like, you know what that's fine I Yes, we should we should all try to do things to to help uh reduce waste. It's the depression era parent Uh Raising that I have so they were selling their bottles of water in the reusable metal bottles, right, which is fine Uh, I'm all for that. We're leaving. I have the reusable bottle of water in my hand And the security guard's like you can't take the bottle of water out I kind of stopped and looked at her but we were In a rush to get you know, we wanted to beat the crowd to the shuttles So So I didn't I always try to remember that the person enforcing the policy is not the person who made the policy So if I was going to say anything, I would have said like, oh, it's weird that they're making you do that Now I wouldn't you know accuse them of anything But I was like really like this whole thing about sustainability and they were like Powering the show they they had uh bikes Like stationary bikes and and kinetic floors to help charge batteries that were used to power part of the show You know, so they were doing actual things not just not just preaching but actually but actually like there was action being taken And then and then yes and then requiring and like encouraging people to bring their own water bottles Which I meant to do and I forgot but then also we're saying like no We're not going to sell plastic water bottles and we're going to sell the reusable one Some people could reuse the bit of making me throw it away and I leave That was unexpected I'm sure if I had poured the water out and said can I take the empty they probably would have said yes I'm hoping But I I just I didn't even think about that at the time Yeah, I leave plenty of time at parking and dress appropriately dressing appropriately though Is the trick mighty bean like if You don't know what's appropriate. How can you dress appropriately, right? um We thought we were dressed appropriately We didn't we were dressed warm out that part wasn't it wasn't bagged as we knew it might get a little cooler It got a little cooler than we expected But we did not expect rain like there was just that was not That was not something we were expecting but I guess you know your dad mighty bean might have said like But there was rain earlier in the day. So you should have just better safe than sorry I can hear your dad's voice in my head right now But yeah, um That was a weird thing with the bottle of water though. Like why can't you take it out? They were letting you bring things in like your own food And they were letting you bring water bottles in but you couldn't take it out So on Someone will be able to explain it someday I'm gonna guess if I had to guess it was something around alcohol control in the parking lot They didn't want you like buying a like obviously if I had a Half can of beer I couldn't take that out in the parking lot. I get that that's open container rules Some places happen some places don't this place does that's fine um And so maybe it's to like Reduce the chance that somebody has taken one of the empty bottles of water and then filled it up You know, but they didn't know I had water in there They didn't say is that empty? They just said you can't take the bottle of water out They wanted my bottle for the next concert. Yeah, I mean honestly if that was the case vandal g that would have been cool One thing they did do. Uh, so they gave everybody these little led wristbands Uh that were powered by bluetooth So that during the show they you know created lights in the stands. That was awesome love that That's a that's borrowed from k-pop shows where the people bring their light sticks and they're powered by bluetooth Uh, this was something where everybody got a got a wristband But then on the way out that big bins and they were like please deposit your wristband for recycling and reuse So ever and everybody was doing that so I'm like that's great I'm very very much against waste So that's that's good a lot of water felt like a waste Anyway, that's my story I am gonna go and uh get ready for our production meeting I will be back for daily tech news show in just about an hour or so Good to see y'all. Happy monday. Hope you're hanging in there making it through monday or if it's tuesday In your area of the world happy tuesday And uh, yeah, I will I will see no. Oh, oh shelf tour.

Did everyone see the stock symbol right here? Oops, wrong window. There we go. Did everyone see the stock KLA today? Anyone saw this stock today? KLA. No one saw this stock? Oh, come on. Someone had to see a stock that was up 300%. Okay, so just want to teach what everybody is going to look forward to, what you're about to learn today, and what you're about to see, and why you're going to want to come and be part of the C2 family. This stock started, if you look right here, at not in pre-market, it was up a little big. It started right around $5, $5.50 and started going around at $9.30 was right around $6. Now, look very carefully, fellow traders. Stock goes from $6 in 45 minutes to $9. That's $3. If you had 1,000 shares, that's a $3,000 investment. If you made half that, maybe just half, you would have made yourself, oh, pretty penny right there, about $1,500. That's over $100,000 a year salary. If you look right here, fellow traders, stock started around $8. News came out again. This stock took off from $8.60 up to $17. Now, I own it. I got to sell it right now. I've been holding it for a little while. I was waiting to start this meeting. I just gave away an extra $2,000, but let me just get out of this position and take my profit right now on that trade. But just to show you, this stock, we traded it back in March and it was at $30 and it ran all the way to about $90. This is what day trading is about. This is why we do this game. It's all a game. Now, how do we find it, everything? I'm going to show you something really quick because I'm going to invite every single one of you to come into my trading room. Now, here's the trading room. Let's bring it up so you can see it. Hold on. Right here, if you look right here, fellow traders, I'm going to zoom up here. You see what says Fausto? Right here. Let me just bring up this. Look at me carefully. See it's right here. That is our watch list. That's at $9.17 a morning. Do you see the stock right there? K-A-L-A. Right there. We also looked at some of the other stocks, but this was the stock that ran at $9.17. Now, we broadcast live on YouTube. If you want to check our Twitter, we posted up on Twitter, but the stock was right there. I want you to see all these traders. Look at every one of them. This is right now at this time of the day. Watch what happens when I go back. I'll show you going back here. Let me go back early in the morning. K-A-L-A at $9. Mark's laughing. I'm going back here at 10 o'clock in the morning. Here we go. Look. Boyle, look. Grant just made money. Charles just made money on it. Look at all these people trading on these stocks. Alex made money. Alex made plus a dollar, and he was at $660 at $770. These are the traders that are people just like you. I've trained them like you. How do I know how to train them? I was one of you 25 years ago, and I'm going to hopefully make you part of this team. Let me clear this out and get right into it. Let me just get right to my PowerPoint because I'm not a fan of bragging about winners. I'm more of a fan talking more about losers, but it was a very slow week this week because of the holidays, Christmas, and no real trade. We just had such a great run in that stock. I needed to share it with you right away. Is that exciting? Come on. Was that impressive to see a stock make that big of a run? Actually, ask yourself a question. When was the last time you saw a stock or in a stock like that was up almost 300-400% in one day? Trader friend says yes. That was exciting. Very impressive. It's rare. No, Michael, it's actually not rare. We usually get something like that once or twice a week, believe it or not. I'm going to prove it to you and you're going to be in my trading room. I'm going to show you that. Elma, what about you? Gary, is that impressive? Debra, Daniel, Craig, Charles? I didn't hear from you. I just want to. Awesome. The goal is this. Like I said, I'm not a fan about talking about winners. I'm more or less talking about losers because a lot of you here are failing. You're like, oh, this was a fluke. They just happened. Let me tell you what we teach you. I want to show you why people fail in today's markets. Now, before we do that, quick little risk disclosure. Just want to start out. I'm not making any guarantees or warranties or promises. It varies student to student. Please be very smart before you do your trade. Trading is a very big risk when it comes to it. But everything I'm teaching you today is strictly educational only. Now, this is what we're going to learn. I'm going to talk about how we find these big movers of the week. I'm going to show you how we scan them. I'm going to talk about who actually runs these stocks and how they make their big move and knowing where to get out before it happens and also not how to read the past, but how to read the future. That's what I'm going to focus on. Now, for some of you don't know me, I'm a 12-year veteran. I live here in New York, the financial capital world. You could see that's a picture of me. I'm a regular speaker at NASDAQ teaching specifically how to trade on level three and level four, how to trade today's markets, and that's what hopefully I'm going to teach all of you what you're about to learn right now. Now, the thing about being a very good trader is that brokerage firms, exchanges, if you know what you're doing, you'll be a client there forever, but there's just too many of you that are being taught by the average trader that just because he sounds good and maybe you clicked on one of his ads doesn't mean that they know what they're doing. There's a reason why we've been endorsed by every brokerage firm. There's a reason why we have a five-star rating on Google is because unfortunately, not to discourage everybody here, but not every single one of you are really up to the test to be a trader. You know what? That's okay because I just got off the phone with a trader and he says, thousand though, I had 200,000. I'm down to 100,000. His only problem is he was just trained by the wrong people and he did it on his own, but we're going to fix that. We're going to fix that. Now, listen, you could buy my, at the end of this presentation, I'm going to give you my book. You don't have to pay for it. It's free. It's going to be a gift to me to you. You can go to Amazon, pay $47. I'll make money on it, but I'd rather give it to you free and you're going to get the end of this presentation. So this is how I got started. If any of you ever read any of the old books and you hear about the So's Bandits, the original day traders, you're looking at them right now. Okay. I was definitely able to have a little bit more hair. It was less gray, but we used to trade on that little stinking 15-inch monitor. I get people that trade on six monitors and still can't get it. Okay. So we were one of these bunch of kids that were tormenting Wall Street and Forbes wrote a nice little article about it. Now, my parents are immigrants. They came here from Italy and my dad with $20 in his pocket and my mother and they always told me, listen, we came here for a better life, but we live here in New York. What was New York known for? The financial capital of the world. So he said, listen, find out what people do to make a lot of money. Go out there and learn. But he goes, he told me one very important thing. Don't think you're going to beat these people. Go learn from people every mistake that they make. Why go out there and make the mistakes and learn the hard way, learn from other people, let them teach you and try to get in there. I don't care what it costs you. Okay. And you know what? It was one of the best devices that he ever gave me. And that's why I now have two family. I've been married for almost 25 years now. I've got three wonderful sons, but I have two families. I have my trading family. I trade with every day. And then I have my regular family. And hopefully, you guys will be part of one of my family because that's the way we look at things. When you have a good tight relationship with your traders, you trust each other. You work together. We have no egos. We don't brag, but that's part of the vetting process that we go through. So let's get right into the trading part of it. Now you know all about me. Let me tell you. Now, let me know a little bit about you. Okay. I'm going to do a quick poll right here just to kind of like it to know everyone here. Let me see. Let me do a poll here. Yeah. So how long has everybody been trading? Let me do that poll really quick. So everybody just give me a chat back. Let's see how everyone answers this question. By the way, if you don't answer this question, that means you're not paying attention. And honestly, if you're not paying attention, I would recommend you to log out because I don't want to waste my time. I could sit here and trade this stock. And basically, I just threw away probably, I threw a little extra money getting into this webinar, still trading Kala. But that's okay. I'm always looking to recruit new traders. So please go out there. Tell me a little bit about you. You're a beginner. Nobody knows. Are you doing one year, five years? Okay. Let me share that. Let me share this information to everyone. So we could see that. Now, listen, some of you been trading for a while. I get it. But don't worry. It's never too late to learn. Okay. So now that we have that poll out of the question, I want to have another question to ask everybody. I'm going to do another poll. Who really trains you? Okay. So where's that poll? Okay. What type of education? There we go. Are you self-taught? YouTube books? Have you taken paid courses? Do you got a mentor? Just kind of get to know a little bit of everyone here. Now, getting some type of education out there is not a bad thing. Okay. We actually encourage people to go out there, learn from other people. And then when you come back to us, you'll see how we do things differently. And if you're self-taught, hopefully you didn't, you learned a little bit of hard way. But remember, it is a very big failure rate. And I don't think I want anyone work on my loved ones that never went to med school. Okay. So let me end that poll and you share the results on that one. So now let's begin. All right. Now, trading around the holidays can be very slow and actually could be better time to study and learn in today's markets. Unfortunately for today, that wasn't the case. And that was part of the deal about coming in the morning when it comes to trading. There's always something new to trade. But it doesn't stop you from being a student to get into trading. You got to take advantage of these big movers. And taking advantage of them is going out there and finding them, knowing what's making them move, who's running them up, why they're going up and down. Like here's an example of a stock that we just traded. What is it yesterday? Okay. HTGM. Here's a stock you could see it from here, it went from $325 up until $5 a share. Now, I don't know about you, but that's almost a $2 move. Actually, in an hour, it ran almost $1.50. That was an expensive stock. That's a cheap little stock. It was nothing like KLA today that ran from six and ran to, it's at almost 16 right now, hit a high of almost 18. But when's the last time you went to stock? That was up 100%. So one of you said, you know what? It's very rare. Michael said that's rare. It's not rare. We do it every day. And there you could see that's a Twitter feed right there where we posted in pre-market. Here's another one. Tao. Chinese stocks are moving pretty well. Here's a stock you could see EDU, GOT, Tao. They were all on that Twitter feed. Here's a stock 930 goes from $760 all the way to $9 in less than 30 minutes. So question. Do you trade stocks in the pre-market? I don't know. Does anyone ever do that? Daniel says, last time I had a great run on the stock was PYF. And by the way, I know we got some staff in here from CTU. So John and anyone else, could you please reply back to these people and share their notes. I'd like to share their comments for somebody who puts a good little chat in there if you could do that. Yeah. So Trima, you do it. Also great. So pre-market is where we usually trade most of our trades. Here's a stock PRQR that we traded. You could see on the 22nd, this stock ran from $2 to $3. And you could see here, it really picked up at the 930, but a lot of it was in pre-market. So do you short stocks or do you only buy? Listen, we short also. Here's a stock NEO. Great little short, $1050 went all the way to $10. Now NEO, some of you probably know about it a little bit more, but you know what? A lot more money, been a lot cheaper to trade some of the other ones. But still, whatever goes up comes down twice as fast. Coinbase, we all know about Bitcoin. So look at Coin. Great little short. Stock goes from $38 down to $35. So we find a lot of these stocks and the goal is you got to know when to jump in and see when they start, when they make their moves by following the money. Now, how do we find these stocks? Well, I don't have a crystal ball. Every morning, we're live on YouTube, but everybody here is going to have access to come into trading room. We trade all these stocks by working through our percentage gainers and losers. I don't care what these companies do. I don't know what they do. I don't want to know what they do, but what I do know is I want to risk the least amount of money with a high amount of reward. Now, poll question here and I love my polls. So my question is, where is that one? What's the main reasons why stocks go up and go down? Okay, so where is that poll? How long have they been trading? Oh, here we go. Here's the poll. There we go. So I had a couple of bunch of models moving them in order, but how do these stocks move up? Do they move on news, company fundamentals, you know, technicals, buyers and sellers, all the above? Let's put our knowledge to test. Let's see how you guys answer this question. All right. I mean, like think about it, how do they actually move? Now, a couple more seconds. Listen, if you please answer the question, what's the worst thing that could happen to you? Remember what I told you what this whole class is about? Why did 90% of the people fail? Okay, if you can't answer this question, you should not be trading. You should not be trading. All right. So the goal is this. Here's the, here there's, we need to follow the money. Look how many of you have answered the question correctly and look how many of you didn't answer it. So the question is, let's go out there and follow the money. Now, how do we follow the money? Well, there are, these are the ways that we go about doing it. We look at the data. We're going to talk about level two, level three and level four. Now, I know a lot of people have level two. Maybe some of you ignore it. I would ignore it too because it's been outdated since the 90s, but we're going to talk about level three and level four. Now, level two really quick, let me just cover this. All right. So let me get my crayon. So basically, here's your buyers and these are your sellers. So you got three columns, one, two, and three. The first column is basically, oh, why is this thing evaporating? Oh, that's why. I was like, why is it disappearing? One, two, and three. The first column is a four-letter abbreviation of a brokerage firm's name. Second column is the price. And the third column is the amount of shares he wants to buy. Everything there is multiplied by a hundred. Whoever wants to buy for the most amount of money is up on top. Whoever wants to buy for less money is down at the bottom. Same thing over here. Whoever wants to sell it, for the least, up on top, whoever wants more money are on the bottom. So basically, what you're looking at is at a big chat room. It's basically what it is. All right. Now, the problem with this is it's not giving you all the data. You're really not seeing all the orders out there, everything. So what do we need to trade? We're going to talk about NASDAQ Book Viewer. Now, have any of you watched me at the NASDAQ Center? I'm live. I do events there all the time talking about Book Viewer. You can actually watch the video on our website. Daniel, you have? Okay. Anyone else? Good. So let me teach you a little bit about it, and then we're going to go to level. I'm going to show you the value of it, and then we'll go to level four. So basically, what you're looking at is a seat on the exchange. That's what you have. Now, back in the day, you had to pay a couple of million bucks for this to have a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Today, it cost you $15. Now, can I ask you a question? If I could tell you that we can now monitor 70% of where the buyers and sellers are, give or take, is it worth 15 bucks to you? Well, we're going to get to that, Trima. Of course it is. Forget about, I had to pay almost a fortune to be on the seat. Here you are paying $15. Why would you not want to see where Goldman Sachs, the algorithms, the dark pools are? It's like the dumbest thing in the world. Apparently, that's 90% of the failure rate, and hopefully you're not going to be that 90% anymore. So what you're seeing here is every single order around the entire world that are trading the specific stock and at every order at every single price. Now, I get it when you look at this. It seems a little distracting. Some people said it moves pretty fast, but I'm going to take care of that. Let me show you how we utilize this. Look at Coinbase. Coinbase started this morning, was around $35. It went all the way around $9.50. It finally hit a bottom around $33.70, and it shot up to $36, which is a pretty substantial run-up. Why did it pick $33.70? Why didn't it go to $33? Why didn't it stop at $34? Well, when you look right here on the Book Viewer, you'll see that there are a lot of buyers, hundreds, $200, $300. There was a $30,000 share buyer at $33.70. $33,000. Now, it might not sound like a lot to you because sometimes you see these stocks trade millions and hundreds of millions, but when you look at the orders, there's a lot of refreshing going on, everything else. But when you look at it, that is probably 300 times the difference between the norm where everyone's showing 100, 200, whatever. I don't know about you, but I think I would be on his team. And guess what? Exactly what it did came to that, and you had literally about 20 minutes to figure that out, and boom, it shot up. And if you boarded at that $33.70, and let's just say you sold it at, I don't know, $34.30, $34.70, you made yourself a dollar, you obviously took a nice profit. Let's look at the resistance. What makes a resistance? Sellers. Look at this stock right here. BILI starts in the morning at 23.60, goes to 25, comes back down, goes to 25, comes back down, goes to 25. But boom, finally comes back to 23. Didn't want to break that 25.20. Why is that? Because when you look at the sellers out there on the exchange, 33,000 shares were out there. I don't know about you, but unless you're going to take the guy out and you want to dish out a couple of hundred grand, that stock is not going any higher. And sure enough, you could call it a triple top. You could come up with all these stupid names and fancy names that people come out with. I'm telling you what the real true answer is. It was a big seller out there, and if you didn't have that game plan, guess what? You could turn a winner into a loser. These are what we call iceberg orders. This is how we follow the money. Now, let me ask everybody a dumb question. Did I lose anybody yet? Did anyone get lost? Just give me a yes or no. Is everybody following along? Don't mind me if I'm talking a little fast. I still want to be here for the next two, three hours. I got about another 20 minutes. I'm going to get in something more excited. But I just want to make sure if you're following along. Still here, and it all makes sense, Michael. I like that one. That makes very good sense. I like that. George is here. George is following along. Eman, Keith, all good. All right, perfect. Let's go through a couple more examples. Let's look at Roku. Company came down. Roku, by the way, I was just looking at Roku the other day. I forgot it was 500 bucks. My God, this thing got destroyed. So anyway, $41 all the way down to 30. Now, Roku is moving lower. Where is the support level? Let me ask everybody a question. Where do you think support level is on Roku? Think about it. What will make Roku go up? Well, yeah, that's the next support level. Gary could be zero because there is a number there. What do we need? What do we need for the stock to go up? Joan, you got to write. Michael, you're right. Deborah, I didn't hear from you. Dennis, I didn't hear from you. Buyers, right? We need buyers. Now, do you see buyers on a chart? Let's think about this for a second. Do you want to learn what happened in the past? Do you want to learn what happened in the future? Well, let's go check out the future. Right here, we're looking at where the next buyer is. And we can see there's a 56,000 share buyer at 38,020 cents. Now, when you look at that big buyer right there, you're like, holy crap, what would that stock be doing? Oh, no wonder. Big buyer should go up. Well, guess what? What would the stock end up doing? Hit 37, 3870 and went right back up. Let me show you what happened today. Look right around this price levels. Look where the stock is hovering. This is today. This is now. This is live. Why is it hovering here for the past two, three hours? We'll go check the book for you and we'll find out later. Buyers are what run the stock up. Not Fibonacci's, not MACD's. That's all program trading. That's all mathematician algorithms. It's the orders that do it. Here's another example, HTG. Stock is going higher. Okay? You ever buy a stock and you're like, okay, where do I sell it? Do I hold on to it? Do I get out? What's going to make the stock go lower? Everybody? Fibonacci, MACD, 200 moving average, whatever you want to call those. This is a classic. Sellers. Now, we see seller chart, no, but when we go here and we check on the NASDAQ book viewer and we work our way down and see what the sellers are, the next biggest significant seller is at 510, the 61,000 shares. What do you think is going to happen when we get to 610? Exactly. It's going to probably go down. You need to have a game plan. You need to know where these support levels are, where these resistance levels are, because that's what drives these stocks up and this is what drives them down. Because if you didn't have that game plan and you didn't know that, boom, there you go. There goes your good nice little winner or maybe even convert into a loser. It's all about following the money, period. End the conversation. Do you know how FBI has busted bust people that commit crimes? Majority is they look at the money. I don't want to get political, but did everyone hear that President Biden did this whole OBNI bill to hire 89,000 IRS agents? Why wouldn't he go out there and hire more FBI agents? Why wouldn't he go out there and hire some more? Why is he hiring more IRS agents to get the money? Like I said, it's all about following the money. So who's better than doing that? The IRS. So pretty smart in his part if he's looking to find money to need money to pay for something. And for us as traders, guess what? We're here to make money. We need to find the money. Where is it? Right there. Once again, these are cold support and resistance levels and are made by buyers and sellers and we call them iceberg orders. And the reason how I got that name from, because I came up with that name, if they're watching the movie, The Titanic, and we all know how that story ended. Now, where could you get that book viewer? Some of you asking? You can go right to the data store and get it. Now, personally, I really would not like you to buy it until you come to my trading room so I could teach you how it works. You might do a little more harm than good, but I'm not holding punches. I'm not here to be, you know, like telling you, like, telling you there's a secret window and whatever it is. NASDAQ hires me to come here. They don't, you know, they don't hire me. They want me to teach you how to use it. And here, like I said, there it is. There's the address. But I got to show you how it works because you don't have the default set up wrong. It's going to be more complicated than what it is. Now, what do we like? What does a breakout look like? Listen, when you have a stock that's breaking out and you're watching time and sales, because sometimes you'll see these orders get filled. And how does that happen through time and sales? And by seeing like these orders, 100,000 share orders and like we, Fausto, you said there's a big resistance levels. Yeah, but what happens? Someone buys it. That could happen. You know, we see stocks that break resistance levels all the time. More or less, I think we'll head in the opposite here. We're making breaking more support levels and anything. But you got, you got to basically follow the money and you got to follow these resistance levels. And just understanding how the stock trends is what makes them with these iceberg orders. Now, let's talk about level four. Dilton, could I talk about the breakout on? Yes, we could talk about that in a minute. But once again, I have to, let me go through this and I'll try to get to that because I'm running out of time here. Let's talk about level four. Now, we have what's designed is more a heat mat. Now, what's nice about this is that now we're looking at more exchanges. So you got the New York Stock Exchange, the CBOE, you got ECNs out there, and you got brokerage firms. So we're just looking at one exchange. What about the other exchanges? And what would be cool is how about seeing how long they've been out there for? So here you're looking at a chart and you see a resistance levels. But here you have an example like, well, that resistance seller out there for 104,000, he's been out this since line 30, you know, and you could see that he kind of, he kind of got redder and redder and redder. He started adding to his position. So he probably had about maybe 50,000 and he had to 70. And then he's like, holy crap, this box getting close to me. This is my opportunity to get out of it. Boom. Guess what? Stock hit that price of 58, came right down to 57, all because of that order was out there. Let's go look at MOMO. Look at this resistance level. MOMO, you see how the stock is at 830? Resistance, resistance, resistance, 300,000, 500,000. Okay. Guess what? That is a major resistance level. So you want to talk about a breakout? Look how fast that stock just ran about almost over a dollar because in theory, you'd be like, holy crap, 800,000 shares of an $8 stock. That's a effing lot of money out there. Someone's looking to sell. But guess what? Somebody said, stole, I'll buy it. You heard of breakouts? And look how fast that stock took off. So let's go back and look at XPEV. Stock has a huge iceberg order of 254,000 shares at 1050. Look at this. Look at this big resistance level. See that big seller right there? Guess what? Hit that resistance, now we're down to $10. Let's see a next example. Iceberg order right here, 620. All of a sudden, big buyer shows up at 86,000 right here at 680. See that right there? Look what ended up happening. Now he split his order. Someone else was out there and upgraded it, and he upgraded it. This is called the latter effect. You ever see that happen before? And look what ended up happening. Look how the stock just went up, up, up, up, up, and you were like, wow. And all of a sudden, this guy down here canceled his order and he started bidding it up. So if you're one to have stocks like, how do they build these bull flags, these bear flags? I'll show you what I mean. How does this actually really work? How does that happen? That's what we teach you at Cybertrain University. And how do I know this? For some of you maybe didn't pay attention in the beginning because I was a market maker on Wall Street. That's what I did. I was a trader. And this is how I was trained how to trade. You need to follow and see where the big boys are. And remember, we're just trying to get the crumbs on the four. That's all we're looking to do. Now, by the way, is everybody having fun here? Everybody having fun? Everybody getting catching along? Somebody just said, hey, I learned more in this class and I just spent on $5,000 with somebody else. Listen, and we're only talking about 30 minutes. Could you imagine what you're going to learn in a week? So getting back to indicators and everything else. Could everyone just tell me a question? Just look at this really quick right here. What's easy to read? Chart number one or chart number two? What's easy to read? One or two? Are you sure about that? You mean you really don't care about the moving averages, the RSI, the CIA's, whatever you want to call them? The Sycastics? Yeah, you know what? If you hit number two, I agree with you. I think this is a lot easier to read over here and knowing where resistance and trying to figure out what the hell this is all is. It looks like my kids when they were in kindergarten, to be honest with you. But you know what? Everyone likes to talk about it. They're always right. I don't know about you. I don't like to focus on the past. I like to focus on the future because technical analysis is paralysis, what we call here. All right. Where are the big buyers and sellers sitting, George? And that's what you need to look at and that's what we teach at Cybertrain University, George. Just put a chat in there because they're the ones that control the market, the Goldman Sachs, the Merrill Lynch, the algorithms. This is reality. This is reality. You got to ask yourself, you got to see what you've been doing in the past. Is it really working? I mean, are you really getting there? Anyone here own a business? Anyone here work for somebody? You know how hard it is to hire an employee? How many interviews you have to go through, resumes? And then finally, you think you finally found that person and you get them in there. You think that person is still going to be the qualified person to work there? You'll know right away within 30 to 60 days and like, you know what? I thought you were good. Maybe the guy lied on his resume, whatever it is. And then sure enough, when it ends up happening, you have to get rid of them. So I think the reason why I bring this up is this. If you're doing something more than 30 to 60 days and you're seeing not making money, it's not showing progress, even with the education that you have, you're pretty much wasting your time. You might want to change a different style. Okay. This is why Cybertrain University has been endorsed by some of the biggest brokerage firms in the industry. Okay. And let me tell you something. They do background checks on us. And because remember, they would never want us to do presentations for them if they thought we're teaching people how to lose money. And you have to ask yourself a question. How many of you ever took a class with somebody? Are they endorsed by any brokerage firm? Because they're not. There's a reason why they're not. And I'm not here to bash anyone. But there's a better time to learn better and ever and alongside with our team. And that's what I want to do. I want to invite every single one of you to come in my trading room because I can't teach you how to trade in 30 minutes. You know, I could just get you excited. I want to get all of you in this room and I want you to see and meet the traders like the grants, the John, the Michaels, the Alexes, the Lindas. I mean, I want you to see how we taught them how to think for themselves. Okay. I want you to see if what we're showing you is what making, you know, are these, is this for real or not? Because we do practice what we preach. You know, and I'm not here to tell you to watch, you know, 800 hours of videos. Because you know, you're not going to watch them. All right. You want someone that's going to hold your hand, someone's going to be on the phone with you and show you because our goal is we want to show you our customer service, want to show you how we care. Because right now what you're doing is you're interviewing us. You're interviewing me. When we get into the trading room, we're going to interview you and we're going to make a decision if you're actually really qualified to do this or not. And you might not like it, what we tell you, but you might love it, we'll tell you. And you'll know if this is for you or not, but don't be scared. It's not that scary. Okay. So what we do here at Cybertrain Diversity, we do a live audio broadcast. We start at 9 a.m. Eastern in the morning and we'll continue till 10 30. And then we'll pick up back at 2 30 in the afternoon and we'll trade to four o'clock. We do this because it's the most volatile times of the market. That's usually where we usually trade. We're running all day. It's just that I can't talk all day. You know what I mean? I mean, you don't want to hear my voice all day. It gets boring. All right. Now, we also have live workshops over the course of the week. We do traders talk. We'll review Q&A. So we're very, very interactive with our traders that are in the room. And not only are you going to get our trading room, which I started the first one in the industry. So to think of, you're going to have the first taste of being in the trading room. But you're also going to get access to workshops and all that good stuff. Now, just to go over a couple of questions before we get everybody all registered, people always ask me, does this strategy work in volatile markets? Of course it does. That's why we do it. If you don't have the volatility, you're not going to have not going to make the money because the bigger the less the volatility, the bigger the spreads, the less the action in the stock. How much more do I need to start? When I show you what you need to start right now, basically, if you've got an account, you don't have an account, I'd rather you have nothing, but you don't need money. You don't have to worry about this right now. This is the least of your problems. And like I mentioned earlier, go check out our Google review and look at all the people that they have to say about CTU and all the great reviews that have come out, have we changed people's lives? That's really what I want to kind of show you. Look at that, look, listen, and learn. You'll get to meet every single one of these. And by the way, these are real reviews. All right, because to put a real review, you got to have a real account. But we love it. Now, this is the deal. $9. That's what's going to cost all of you. $9 stinking dollars. Now, some of you probably fall in the chair and you're like, $9. Wait, wait, what's the catch? The catch is $9. Now, why I'm charging you $9 is this. I don't know who you are. I don't know how you got into this trading room. You obviously clicked on one of our, maybe our emails, maybe you found us on YouTube, but we need to ask you some questions to know a little bit about you. I'm not going to let anybody in my trading room or access to any of my content, unless you tell a little bit about yourself. And the only one comfortable way to kind of say you say who you are is to come up with $9. And this is the deal. If you're not happy, I'll give you $9 at the end of the week. All right. Now, this is what you're going to get for $9. You are going to get live trading for a whole week. You're going to get a Q&A session, three pro workshops, a lot of traders talk library, and as a bonus, as a bonus. And this is what people freak out about. The first 20 people register, I will personally talk to you on the phone. Now, you're probably looking like, nah, this is not real. I spent, somebody told me, I spent $10,000 taking a class with XYZ Academy. And I never spoke to the owner. Why would I talk to you? I'll tell you why. I don't need the $9. I am looking for traders that I can interview to see if I can make, if I can make you a trader and be part of my team. All right. This is not about the education. It's about being part of a company where we could trade together. All right. So think about this as a job interview, and I need to interview and the way you're going to fail your application is the $9. Okay. And I'm going to invite you in my room. I'm going to give everything to you. I'm going to show you everything. And then we're going to have that conversation. We're going to see if you're qualified or not. Okay. Listen, I've been doing this for almost 30 years. I tell all my traders this all the time. Do you want to be in a trading room with full 5,000 people? Because I could do that. But how does that help you? Oh, wow. Look at all these people. Looks great. Of course they do. Who makes money? I do. Because I can charge a residual. What's the secret behind that? Right? No, I'm not looking that. I am looking for somebody. When you get in a trading room, whenever I'm there, you'll be able to give good content. You can be part of a team. Because I'll make more money doing that with you and the staff by doing that. Now, 20 people get a free coaching class, $9. And if you're not happy, like I said, I'll give you $9 back. I don't care about your $9. Trust me. All right. Now, what I like to do is you got about five minutes. Okay. We're going to count down five minutes from here. Fill out that questionnaire. We're going to ask you five questions. Tell us a little bit about you so we know a little bit about you who you are. And the questions are like, who trained you? Do you have level three access? You know, stuff like that. Nothing major. All right. I'm already in, so I'm going to back into trading room. Okay, Timothy. Tim, did you have a good time trading that KLA? I hope you did. That was a good one today, actually. I mean, the best one that we had in about a week or two, I would say, you know. I have thousands of chat with you later. No problem, George. It was great talking to you, you know, just kind of like put these chats in the room so people could read it so people could see what's going on. You know, Timothy, just put his chat in there. All right. A couple of shout outs right now. It looks like some of you are registering right now. Tracy, just got your registration. Welcome aboard. Robert, got your registration. Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing you. Now, listen, every single one of you, just to let you know, you're all going to have access to a trading. You don't have to start like a question right now. When can I start? You could start right now. You could start on Monday. You could start whenever you want. Okay. Listen, the promotion is right now. Okay. I don't know what I'm doing next week. I'm thinking about, you know, like I said, we get so many trial members. Maybe sometimes I think I have to throttle it because, you know, there is a lot of customer service in our part talking to all of every one of you with my staff. But lock it in now. When you talk to education advisor, you let know when you start. He'll do a walkthrough with you. He'll show you all the classes. He'll teach you so when you go, because, you know, when you go to the trading room, you want to be lost. You can be like, what the hell are these people talking about? What am I looking at? You want to have somebody that's going to really take the time and show you that care is what you're doing. So that's really what's going to happen. What do we got here? Yeah. So I got Jerry B. I got your registration. Who else we got here? It's just Roger. Peter Y. Got your registration. Welcome aboard. Who else we got? It looks like a bunch of you just aren't registered right now. I can't take your class until January 15th. Can I start then? Yes, Helene. You can do that. Just log in and pay the $9 now. And when you talk to education advisor, because we won't give you access to the room, and we have to turn it on, which is not going to let you in there. You're going to be totally screwed up. So absolutely. Sid, you're in. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm looking forward to talking to you. Helene, there's your chat. Just letting you know so we can see it. She wants to start on the 15th. No problem. Any other questions? I have a day job and it would be only available in the morning between 9 and 11. Will that work? Oh my God. That is a great question. Let me explain something to you. I used to travel around the world and it was fun in the beginning, especially when I was single. But after that, I was like, I couldn't do this anymore. So we actually started the webinar technology. And with the webinar technology, with the webinar technology, we were able to make it convenient for all of you. This is not a full-time job. Don't believe what people tell you. We have people logged in all over the world. Some people trade the morning, some people trade the afternoon, and that's what happens. All right. Barbara, one of our students, made $6.60 a year on KALA. Wow. Way to go, Barbara. Where's that chat? Where's that chat? I want to share it with her. Where's Barbara? She was in our trading room. Oh, there it is. Okay. Let me share. Let me show you what Barbara did here. Look at our students there. Barbara, let me check out of this because you want to share it with me. Barbara made $8. Wow. Look at that. Barbara. Okay. Oh, there she is. See Barbara right there? Wow. Way to go, Barbara. Holy crap. She did awesome on that. See Barbara right there? Look at that. She made $6 on that trade. Oh, we got another runner that's going up right now that's trading. TGTX. She was done at 12 o'clock. Look at that. It's already an hour. This is what you learn at CTU. Could you take a thousand shares? Thousand shares is $6,000. You do that every day. Listen, if you make $1,000 a day, a dollar a day, that's a quarter million dollar salary. Who doesn't want that job? You know what I'm saying? Cash register means people are on that trade right now. All right. Let's clear this out. Guys, we only have a couple of minutes left and I got to go. Oh, there's Barbara. Way to go, Barbara. I know we had some students in here. Barbara's just putting a chat right there. Barbara, you're more than welcome, Barbara. I'm glad. You know, we had some great conversations and I know with everything going on in life and things are, you know, I know you're being skeptical in the beginning and all that. I'm glad you stuck it out, but how awesome does that feel? I mean, you know what I mean? Just don't get cocky because let me tell you, like I told you in class, those big winners got to take care of some of the losers. You know what I mean? But that's the big thing. All right. So who do we got registered right now? I'm actually shocked. I thought we had... Well, there was almost 100 people in here. We only got, what, 20 so far? What are you guys waiting for? What more do I need to show you? What more do I need to show you? You want to follow the money? You got to know how to follow the money, but how much more do I need to show everybody here to go out there to learn how to trade? I mean, it's just, I'm looking at these. I'm looking at all the orders coming in. Well, I figured there's some students here also, but guys, what are you waiting for? Just get in there. You're more than welcome. Thank you very much. Well, by the way, your name came in wrong, Trader. Trader, Trader Friend. He put it in there. He's already a gold student. Information's priceless. There's another very good question. Okay. That's another good question right here. Let me put it in there. So a question is, I was told that you need $25,000 for trading stocks. Is that true? No, that's false. Now, the day trading rule, if you want to trade in and out of position, yes, but you can also trade... You don't have to trade on margin. You could trade cash. You could just trade your cash and you could be fine. So listen, that's the least of your problems right now because not only you could day trade, you can't swing trade doing this also. Okay. You stop sharing that. Any other questions? Edmund has another good question here. Let me put this in there. His question is, let me share it in there. How much is the cost after the trial period? Can I ask you something? Is that important right now? Is that important? I don't see your name coming in. Why don't you worry about the $9 first before you worry about... Before worrying about what a cost of a course is. Listen, if I taught you and I was able to teach you how to make a six-figure salary, do you ever prompt paying several thousand dollars for a class? Okay. I mean, let's think about it. I mean, forget about that. That's the least of your problems. Okay. That's like, you know, worry about the $9 first and worry about everything else. You know what I mean? Listen, if you can't afford $9, don't take this the wrong way. You really can't afford to trade. You really can. Listen, I am a 12-time world champion. I beat every school I competed against. All right. There's a reason why. It should have been a 25-world champion. Half the people didn't show up though. But anyway, that's really more or less where it comes out. Let me see. Like I said, I'm just seeing all the registrants coming in right now. All right. Any other questions? I've been here for over nine weeks. Actually, the trading room alone. I feel much more confident trading when the trading room, because the big moves get called out. Well, thank you. Let me just share that. That's a great, that's great. Okay. For having access. I know. That's what I'm saying. But you know what? What do you have to lose? But listen, the worst thing that happens, you learn something. The goal is this. I am looking for traders. I'm looking at interview them. Listen, you did your interview on us. Now it's time to us to interview you. So let's go out there, get in the room, meet some of these great traders that are putting in the chat, take a shot, do it when you're ready to start, and then we'll go from there. But listen, I want to get back into my trading room. First of all, I'd like to thank you students. You guys did a great job. I love your comments that you brought in here. Appreciate everything you've done. I hope you had a great holiday. But let me get ready. I want to get ready to go. You got the link up there, everybody. Hopefully, look forward to seeing you there. Make sure you make your appointments to your traders. Have a very happy and healthy new year. Let's finish out the year. I think a lot of us probably already did so, but with just these stocks that we traded today. But remember, it's not about the winners. It's about the losers. It's the losers you have to learn how to control. That's everyone's biggest failure rate. These winners take care of themselves. I had traders that did really well with certain stocks, and they're probably kicking themselves in the butt. They're like, shoot, I should have held it longer. It doesn't matter that they're all the time, and you're going to miss more than you're going to get. But that's okay. That's part of the game. But let us show you how to play it, because you got to learn before you could earn. Thanks for listening, everybody. Students, thanks for being here. Happy healthy new year. Merry Christmas. Everyone had Merry Christmas, and happy Hanukkah, whatever holiday you celebrated, and I'll see you in the trading room. Thanks, everyone.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZg8atcl2WI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

In this episode we reflect on Kant's account of morality, including the categorical imperative. http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/conted/ethics/talbot-ethics-05.pdf	[ "Marianne Talbot", "ethics", "philosophy Beginner's Guide", "Kant", "Deontology", "rules", "categorical imperative Oxford" ]	2012-02-15T17:09:41	2024-02-14T20:01:05	5,339	Vz5ZslW6Bzw	Elefunsie i'i ddweud y Llyfrgeodraeth O'r Llyfrgeodraeth A'r Llyfrgeodraeth Okay well let's let's get started can you all hear me first we we're going to do a quick bit of revision as usual on last week so last week we did all these things and so we looked at the differences between reason and passion which you're now going to feed back to me What's a reason and what's a passion a wnaeth y bydd arwain i'wWheithio gymud?

If Aristotle's saying that reason must overcome passion in the production of action before it can be a moral action then it looks as if Aristotle's theory and gws are quite different as he says that reason can never overcome passion in the production of action. So if Aristotle's right to say that moral action is action in which reason overcomes passion Ac yna'n gyffinio, gyd gan y bydd yn oes f proofwn yr iawn, yw i wch sy'n cael ei wneud fawr armwr.

Diolch archu i'r f易, os aelod a'r argofod, If all we can do is act on our passions, what makes our actions moral, some of them. Because we do like to think that some of our actions are moral. Can anyone tell me what humans' positive views on morality were? It's bad week, isn't it, this week? In them mind, we might get you going in a minute. That's the area of true judge. Good. He talks about true judges, and he talks about stable and general perspectives. First, our passions are little more than pre-moral deliverances of sympathy. So we hear a child crying and we think, oh, this is terrible, a child is crying, and we think that whatever caused its cry was wrong. But as we get older and learn about vaccination and the fact that children need discipline and the fact that sometimes they cry when you take away from them a bit of poison they're about to eat and things like that, you start to learn that actually it's not quite as simple as you might initially have thought and that our pre-moral deliverances of sympathy need to be educated before we can be deemed to be acting morally. So a moral action is an action performed by a true judge, one who has educated his passions and who is adopting a stable and general perspective on the issue. Okay, that was a little bit of revision. Now this week we're going to be learning about Kant, and this is what we're going to look at, I'll leave you to read that. Okay? Right, so let's have a look. A dayontologist believes that the right action is the action that's performed because it's required by the moral law. Okay, now that's a slight advance, isn't it, on Aristotle and Hume? What did Aristotle say the right action was? Action was performed by a virtuous person. That's right, that the right action is the action that would be performed by a virtuous person, which we thought at least initially wasn't very helpful. And then Hume said that the right action would be the action performed by a true judge adopting a stable and general perspective. Again, perhaps not hugely useful. But here we're told that the right action is the action that's performed because it's required by the moral law. Well okay, so long as we know what the moral law is, this is looking perhaps a little bit more helpful. But there are different types of dayontology depending on different accounts of the moral law, of what counts as the moral law. So anyone who believes that morality consists in obeying the Ten Commandments is a dayontologist because they believe that morality is law-governed and that the laws that govern it are the laws of the Ten Commandments. So if you believe that the Ten Commandments are to be obeyed, then you are a dayontologist. You believe that the right action is the action that's required of you by the moral law and that the moral law is encoded in the Ten Commandments. Can anyone think back to week one? Goodness, if you can't remember last week, how are you going to manage this? Okay, think back to week one. We looked at different types of relativist and absolutist, didn't we? What would be the type of absolutist who... Well, actually, any of them would be dayontologists, but what would be the nearest one to a dayontologist to embrace the Ten Commandments, do you think? But surely we need the Ten Commandments to write them up in this? That wasn't one of the absolutists, but do you remember I talked about lower-order absolutism? So do not lie, tell the truth, keep promises, etc. If you're a lower-order absolutist, then you believe that the moral law is encoded in the rules that we follow generally in society. If you're a particularist, of course, you reject any claim that any moral rule is an absolute. Okay, but we'll see that there are dayontologists of other kinds in a minute, but you've got the idea, I think, of what a dayontologist is. The most famous dayontologist is Immanuel Kant. I probably should say arguably there, I wonder if there are, but I think that's a reasonable claim. Immanuel Kant, who lived from 1724 to 1804, Kant believed that in actions that motivated by passion can't be moral for that very reason. He thinks a passion-driven action is by definition not moral, which is where we were getting at before when we were saying, actually, whom's got a bit of a problem, because we generally don't think of an action that's performed to satisfy a desire of our own as a moral action, and yet, Hume believes that every action is performed in order to satisfy a desire of our own. Okay, so Kant disagrees with Hume, but he also rejects Aristotle's view that happiness, or eudaimonia, which, as you know, is only very, with great difficulty, translated as happiness, but Aristotle thinks that happiness is the purpose of our existence, whereas to Kant, what's important is that we're worthy of being happy, and we can be happy without being worthy of being happy, and we can be worthy of being happy without being happy, so the two things are different, and Kant disagrees with Aristotle on that. Kant believes, and this is where we've got to understand that Kant is agreeing with Hume on a lot of things, and in particular, he agrees with Hume on every action except moral action, so Kant is quite happy to accept that usually, in our actions, we are motivated by passion. Usually it's our own desires and the satisfaction of those desires that prompts us to act, but he says moral action cannot be like that. That can't be moral action, and if an action is motivated by passion, then for that very reason it isn't moral. Okay, so he thinks that all our actions are performed for one of two reasons, and the first one is the Humean one. Okay, we perform an action in order to achieve an end that we find desirable. The second one, and this is the one that of course Hume wouldn't recognise, but that is very important to Kant, is that we act to fulfil our obligations under the moral law, and he talks about it as reverence for the law. In Kant's eyes, we acquire virtue when we acquire reverence for the moral law, so we need to learn more about what that is. So acts we've performed to achieve an end we find desirable is motivated by what Kant calls inclination, but Hume would call passion. So if I talk about inclinations, I mean there are differences, but for all intents and purposes for this lecture we can think of those as passions, and for Kant that means they're not moral. Such actions, okay, so an action that's performed out of inclination, in order to achieve an end you want, that could be forbidden by the moral law, it could actually be morally wrong, or it could conform to the moral law. Okay, so it wouldn't necessarily be an immoral action that you would be performing out of inclination, it could be a perfectly moral action, except that in the second case it wouldn't count as moral. It would be moral because it conforms to the moral law, but not moral because it was performed out of an inclination. So didar, didar said that before. So as you can see Kant believes with Aristotle that an action can be virtuous without the agents being virtuous. So an act can conform to moral law, but without being moral, without the agent acting morally in performing that action. So we've looked at what makes an action not moral, not immoral, but not moral. An act can only be a moral action according to the Kant if the agent performs it because he believes it's required of him by moral law. So to perform this sort of action, the agent puts all his inclinations, all his passions to one side. According to Kant, when faced with a requirement, a moral requirement, something you should do out of your duty under the moral law, all your inclinations fall to one side. They should do anyway. They'll still be there. They don't disappear. You don't stop wanting to kill your little brother or something like that. You carry on wanting to kill your little brother, but you see that the moral law says you mustn't and your inclination falls away. It doesn't actually motivate an action. And when an agent puts his inclinations to one side, what he's doing is he's manifesting a good will. And for Kant, this is hugely important. In fact, it's the most important thing. The only thing to Kant that's good in itself is a good will. So the first question was, what about if I have an inclination to obey the law? And the second question was, my inclination tends me to want to perform an action that the moral law requires as well. So there are two motivations, if you like. There's the motivation to obey the law and there's the motivation to satisfy my own inclination. What happens then? What would Kant say about that action? We'll answer both those questions in a minute. So our actions are moral. So going back to the idea of a good will, the only thing that's good in itself, according to Kant, is a good will. And our actions are moral only in so far as our intentions are good. So our intentions must be to obey the law and our act must conform to the moral law. So do you see we're getting back to something very Aristotelian here? Not only must we obey the law because that's what the law says. We must know what the right action. We must do what the law demands of us and we must do it because the law demands it, obviously. Do you see how we're getting to something really quite Aristotelian again? Was that a question I saw? Well, I was going to ask whether he would actually disagree with the second one. Well, he would, if my intention, my intention is consisting a desire and a belief together. And it's the belief that would make it good for Kant. But, well, again, we'll actually see something like this in a minute. So ask the question again if I haven't answered it in a few minutes. So to Kant, the only thing that's intrinsically good, good in itself is a will that acts out of respect for the law. So whereas for Aristotel, there's only one thing that's good in itself, what is it? No, for Hume. No, Hume didn't say anything about the good in itself. But Aristotel believed that eudaimonia was good in itself, didn't he? That's what we're seeking for. But for Kant, it's a good will. If your will is good, if your intentions are good, that's the only thing that's good in itself. And it's that that makes anything else good. So if an action is good, it's because the intention behind it was good. It's got nothing to do with the consequences or anything else. It's to do with whether the intention behind it was good. So think back to week one again. And we looked at an action, must always have three things. Here's the action. It's always going to have consequences, isn't it? And it's always going to have an intention. Because without an intention, it couldn't be an action, could it? We looked at the difference between behaviours that happen to us, like tripping over a rug and behaviours that we choose like pretending to trip over a rug. So if it's an act that's chosen, it's got to have an intention. And Kant locates the goodness, if you like, of an action. Very firmly here, okay? It's got to be in the intention with which the act is performed. So now in support of Kant's claim, so we've seen what Kant's claim is, that the only thing that's good in itself is a goodwill. And that what makes an action good is the intentions with which it's performed. So we've seen that that's Kant's claim. Now let's have a look at the argument for Kant's claim. Well, he gives us examples of actions in which there are two possible reasons, and this is where your question is going to be answered. Two possible reasons for the agent's action. One reason is an inclination, and the other is a belief that the act is required by the moral law. So let's... Okay, I want you to imagine this situation. There's Ian, who's over there, there. And Joan, who isn't here, annoyingly. They're walking down braze-nose lane towards each other. Okay, so they're coming from opposite angles. And at the halfway point, there's that beggar who sits there with her child. And they each give her a pound, okay? So we can assume that the action they perform is identical. That the consequences of that action are identical, which can't quite be true, because the second one gives her another pound that makes two pounds, et cetera. And it's trapped away from that with your permission. You can add another beggar if you really want. Ian gives the beggar a pound because he wants to impress Joan. He wants Joan to think that he's a nice trap. And Joan gives the beggar a pound because she thinks it's the right thing to do. Okay, you see the difference? Have they acted equally morally? No. Okay, does anyone think they've acted equally morally? No, okay. Put your hand up if you think they haven't acted equally morally. Okay, that's very unusual. Why isn't your hand up for one of the other of them? No, no, no, I haven't acted morally. Right, okay. So you agree with everyone else? Everybody thinks that one of them acted morally and the other didn't, or at least they had action. Okay, so who acted morally? Neither. Ah, now, that's interesting. Okay, so you all agree on what the claim is, but for different reasons. Okay, so why do those who think that Joan acted morally but not Ian think that? Can somebody tell me? Ian acted from self-interest, didn't he? He acted with the intention of making Joan think he was a nice trap so he must think he's going to get something. Maybe nothing more than a glow of, ooh, Joan likes me. But obviously this is something he wants and that's why he acted. It's got nothing to do with morality. Joan, on the other hand, acted because she believed it was the right thing to do. So you think that that makes Joan's action right and Ian's action, but it's not wrong, is it? But nor is it a moral action. So it might conform with the moral law, but it isn't a moral action. Okay, those of you who disagree, are you one of them? No, I was just saying that he obviously, even if he was impressing her, he knew it was the right thing to do. If you see what I mean. So you must have known, morally, that that's going to impress her. Otherwise he still wouldn't have done it, would he? Okay, well there's a night, I mean actually Aristotle is very useful for this. Ian knew what the right thing to do was. He did the right thing, but he didn't do it for the right reason, did he? And it looks as if the fact he didn't do it for the right reason strips his action of its moral character. I might have been trying to kill two lords in one stone. No, well that comes back to the question. I'm sorry, I've forgotten your name. Dudley, that comes back to Dudley's question. We'll look at that in a minute. Now you had a different view. Well, Joan is fulfilling her own desires. Ah, because she wants to act in accordance with the moral law. I can't say even if it happens to coincide, that doesn't, because she's fulfilling her own desires. No, he absolutely doesn't say that. What he says is the action is only moral if it's done out of the desire, out of reverence for the moral law, because you believe it's the right thing to do. And Joan believes, notice this isn't a passion, this is a think, this is a belief. She believes it's the right thing to do. Now we might get back in a minute to what you claimed about, but you wouldn't believe you should do the right thing unless you wanted to do the right thing. I'll do that again until we get to that point, because I definitely will address that question. Okay, but would you agree, given that, that Joan was doing the right thing? Well, I don't know what moral law she's looking to. Well, but it doesn't matter, does it? Because if she does it because she believes it's the right thing to do, then she's satisfying Kant's condition for doing the right thing, isn't she? Well, I'm thinking about Tony Blair and the War. Well, I tell you what, can we put your complications on one side for a minute? I hope we'll leave time for questions in which we can deal with things like that, but all we've got is a claim at the moment. We haven't even looked at what the moral law is. What we've looked at is the claim that the only thing that's good in itself is a good will, and that therefore actions are only good if they're performed out of the goodness of a will in other words, if the intention of the person performing them was right. And the intention, to make it right, what the intention has got to be is that the action is in accordance with the moral law. So if we leave aside complications as to what the moral law is, we can say that whereas Joan acted, Kant would say rightly, Ian didn't, because Ian acted out of a passion. Can we accept that? We don't know what the moral law is yet we haven't looked at it. We will look at it in a minute. Okay, we've answered that. So Kant would say this, although Ian's action conforms with the moral law, it isn't a moral action, and that was because it was performed to fulfill an inclination of Ian's desire that Joan should think he's a nice chap rather than out of reverence for the law. And this is a very important point here. Kant is not saying that if we're inclined to perform an action, that action can't be morally right. Okay, so Dudley, this is your question here. So here's an action A. I always leave the black pen in the wrong place. So here's an action A that conforms to the law. And here's an inclination to perform A or a passion to perform A. And here's a belief that A accords with the law. Now Kant is saying that that action will be moral if it's performed for that reason rather than that reason. He doesn't mind at all if you have an inclination to perform the action that is, as a matter of fact, right. On the contrary, that would be a lovely thing to have and that's a very good thing to have. But the difference is that if you've got both of these things here, Dudley, this is addressing your question directly, but it's that that motivated you rather than that, then it's not a moral action. It may conform to the moral law but if you performed it for that reason, it isn't a moral action whereas if you performed it for that reason, it is a moral action. And remember that it's often the case that in any one situation we have lots of reasons for wanting to do something. I can only think of one now that's going to drop me right in it if I give it to you. Yes, very good one. Did you go in to get out of the rain or did you go in to have lunch or did you go in to chat up that nice waitress suit all the last time you were in there, etc. All those motivations could be in there. Well, not the last time, of course. Is Kant suggesting that if A is not part of the moral law, then if you perform something that is part of the moral law for the wrong reason, is that equal to performing something that is not part of the moral law? Well, then you've got to distinguish between the rightness of the agent and the rightness of the action. The action would be wrong, wouldn't it, if it doesn't conform to the law. If A isn't part of the moral law, there is no way you can conform to it, obviously. Sorry, say that again. If A is not part of the moral law, then you can't obviously perform a moral action. Then in performing A you wouldn't be conforming to the moral law, yes. I'm saying that they are equal situations. I don't know what you mean by that. If you perform an action A that does conform to the moral law and you perform it because it conforms to the moral law, then that's you are to be praised and your action is to be praised. But if you perform an action that conforms to the moral law for the wrong reason, then your action is to be praised but you are not. And if you perform an action on something which is not part of the moral law, because you believe it is, so you believe you perform it out of reverence for the moral law but you've got the moral law wrong, then your action is to be praised but your action isn't. Are you with me? There's four answers to that question. You can work them all out for yourself once you see where it's going, yes. Good. Can you not accept that the Ten Commandments are the moral laws? We haven't got on to what the moral law is at the moment. We looked at deontology. I talked about deontology. One form of deontology is the Ten Commandments, correct? We haven't looked at Kant's account of what the moral law is yet. We're just looking at the role played by the moral law in his account of moral action. Lot of people think that Kant is far too harsh, far too... because he's so duty orientated. He says we've got to act out of duty all the time if we act out of inclination. Lot of people make the mistake of thinking that if we act out of inclination, we're wrong. Sorry, we are wrong if we act out of inclination or at least we're wrong if we think we're acting morally. But if we act out of reverence for the law and we perform an action that we are, as a matter of fact, inclined to perform, nothing wrong with that at all. It doesn't make it wrong that you were inclined to perform it. Lots of people think it does, but that's a mistake in reading of Kant. Central to Kant's theory of ethics is a distinction between motivations for action and these he calls maxims. So when you have a motivation to act, you have a maxim, you're following a maxim. And maxims are like little arguments or little pieces of practical reasoning, the conclusions of which are imperatives. And an imperative is a command that rationally binds us to act. That's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? So if you think the different uses of language, so I can use language with interrogative force, so is the door closed, I can use it with a certain atotoric force, closed, what would that be, is the door, no. The door is closed, thank you very much, I'm getting my forces mixed up. Okay, so the door is closed is atotoric, is the door closed is interrogative, closed the door is imperative. Yes, I can see we're all old enough to have done our grammar. Okay, so a maxim is like a piece of practical reasoning that issues in an imperative and that imperative binds us rationally. Let's have a look at one. Okay, so here's a piece of reasoning. I want to get to London by midday. I believe I'll get to London by midday only if I catch the 10am train, therefore I should catch the 10am train. Okay, so you've got a piece of practical reasoning which generates an imperative and if you're a rational person, if you have that desire, that passion, and you have that belief, that reason, then you are rationally bound by that imperative, aren't you? And so when you see that it's 9.30am, and that's going to generate more imperatives because if I've got to catch the 10am train, I've got to leave home by 9.30am, and that's going to generate more passions. I want to leave home by 9.30am, and the minute the clock turns to 9.30am, you see that you're out of that door and that's what it is to be bound by an imperative, bound by reason, by an imperative. So we're rationally bound by this conclusion that we have that desire expressed in the first premise and the belief expressed by the second premise. Any questions about that? Because that's a rather important part of the presentation. Okay, now the imperative we've just looked at is conditional. It's conditional upon our having that particular desire. If we lose that desire, then we're no longer bound by that imperative, are we? So if we go back here, well, I did want to get to London by midday, so somebody says, well, why aren't you leaving? Look, it's quarter to ten, you should be gone, shouldn't you? And if you say, well, I decided I couldn't be bothered by what time I get to London, immediately you've lost that desire and that imperative no longer rationally binds you, does it? It's a loose cog in your motivational forces. So it's conditional upon your having that particular desire. If you lose the desire, you're no longer bound by that imperative. And that's why this imperative is called a hypothetical imperative. It's hypothetical on your having that desire and that belief. Notice if you lose the belief, you would also not be bound by that imperative. Do you see that? So that imperative is conditional upon your having both those things, and it's hypothetical in that if you have that and if you have that, then you're bound by that. But if you lose one of those, the imperative also loses its force. So it's a hypothetical imperative. And here is another piece of reasoning, and this piece of reasoning is absolutely central to Kant's moral philosophy. I recognise it's morally right to keep promises, therefore I should keep promises. Now Kant says that here we're again rationally bound by the conclusion. But the conclusion isn't conditional upon our having any desire. Notice we've got here a belief, a cognition, a cognitive state. I recognise that it's morally right to keep promises. And it entails directly an action, doesn't it, an imperative. Therefore I should keep promises. No desire is needed here, that's what Kant says. Now this is where your question becomes very important. But just before I deal with it, I won't say that imperative, the one we've just looked at, is called a categorical imperative. It's categorical because it's not binding hypothetically on any desire. You don't have to have any desire at all. All your desires, all your incarnations just fall out of the picture. If you believe that it's right to keep promises, then you're going to believe that you should keep promises. You don't need a desire at all according to Kant. So that's a categorical imperative. And it binds us solely in virtue of our capacity for reason. It doesn't bind us by dint of any inclination that we might have. But I bet you're all thinking, or at least you're thinking, hang on, there's a premise missing. Okay, what's the premise? So go back to the categorical imperative. Okay, does anyone think there's a premise missing? I desire to act morally, yeah. Yep, I desire to do the right thing. I desire to act morally, I desire to obey the moral law or something which is, that's exactly your question, wasn't it? Okay, so let's look at what Kant would say to this. Kant would say that if you want to add the premise, I want to do the right thing, you're manifesting your failure to understand the moral concept. Yes, right, actually, get rid of it. Right, no, this is a failure in your moral understanding. What you're implying that you might not want to do the right thing and implying the possibility of not wanting to do the right thing, you demonstrate that you simply haven't understood what the right thing is. So we can look at the development of the moral concept in looking at this. Lot of 10-year-old children, apparently, I'm told, believe that it's right means you must do it or mummy will catch you or you must do it or the teacher will catch you or something like that. They don't have an understanding of right that goes further than that. So in a situation where mummy won't catch them or the teacher won't catch them or something, then there's no reason not to do it. I mean, Hume would talk about, has he gone now? Sorry, I've forgotten your name. Helen's son was here earlier, but I think he has gone. I mean, I suspect we've all, maybe if we remember back that far to ourselves, we can understand having that sort of moral concept. 90% of the population there is. Okay, we may not all be as cynical as Erica, but it is certainly true that there are lots of adults who still have the moral concept that is normal for 10-year-olds to have. But I'm prepared to bet that if I were to leave my purse here, most of you in this room wouldn't pinch it, not because you might be caught, but because you'd think it was the wrong thing to do. So do you see what Kant's saying here? He's saying, actually, if you've really understood the moral concept itself right and wrong, you couldn't not want to act on them, and therefore you can't want to act on them either. It doesn't make sense. It's one of those dual concepts. I mean, you can't have the concept of truth without having the concept of falsehood, can you? You can't have the concept of blue without having the concept of another colour. You've got to have at least one other colour in order to have the concept blue. Right and wrong would be similar concepts. So the thought would be, if you've really got the moral concept, the concept right, as opposed to one of these pre-moral concepts that children have or people who haven't developed morally have, then you couldn't want to do the right thing because that would imply that you could not want to do the right thing and that immediately shows you that you're operating with the wrong concept of morality. So that's Kant's answer to that. So let's have a close look at this because this is the absolute core of Kant's moral philosophy. It's very important to... OK, let's have a look at this. If I say I believe it is right to keep promises, does this entail, as Kant thinks, therefore I should keep promises? In other words, could you believe that without believing that? Could you believe that it's right to keep promises without thereby believing that you should keep promises? OK, put your hand up if you think no. OK, well all of you will have intuitions that would accord with Kant on this. Does anyone think yes that you could believe that without believing that? OK, tell me why. Well no, we're not talking about morality here, we're talking about rationality, well I'm sorry, we are talking about morality, but we're talking more about rationality than morality. The question is could you believe that without believing that? In other words, if you had that in your belief system, could you not have that? You should surely that should be imperative, it should, and it should, it would be I must. Well I should I must. Well it's different between should and must. You're always accusing me of splitting hairs, I'm not going to split this particular hair. We'll put must in there if you like, we can even put ought in there if you like. I don't mind. As long as it's imperative, that's all I care about. And what I'm interested in is could you believe that without believing that? Do you no longer think you can? Well I feel instinctively that you could, but I can't, I can't explain, I can't rationalise. Well, then that won't do. OK. Going back to week one, you could have a chain of argument in there that says but if I keep this promise, I'm going to distress Lucy about the state of her hair too. So I won't. Well no, then you would have lost your belief that it's right to keep promises. Do you see what I mean? We're looking at a particular point in time, T, and at T you believe it's right to keep promises. So we're not talking about the general law, I believe that generally speaking it's right to keep promises. If you like we can say right to keep that promise, if you like, that makes it easier. I should keep that promise. Do you see what I mean? So again, we're not saying here that you could, generally speaking I believe it's right to keep promises, but I don't believe it's right to keep that promise, therefore I don't feel bound to keep that promise. That would be a completely different argument. We're looking at believing it's right to keep that promise at this time and whether you could then not believe I should keep that promise. Nobody's talking about whether you do keep that promise incidentally, do you see that's a completely different thing? Because you might believe that and that and then not do it, but that's a completely different kettle of fish and we know that happens. Could a situation change, which would make it change your mind, depending on the situation you find yourself in? We're not talking about a situation where it's changed, we're talking about the situation in which you believe that and whether in a situation where you do believe that you might not believe that. If somebody says to you, I believe lying's wrong, but that doesn't tell me that I shouldn't lie. Of course I can lie consistently with believing that lying's wrong. Is that consistent? Could you believe that something's wrong and yet believe you have no reason not to do it? This is the core of it. Could you believe that something's wrong? So we're using the moral concept here wrong. Could you believe that something's wrong and yet not feel that you had reason not to do it? It's quite... Does the context have a bearing? Well, the context has a bearing in that. We're talking about as long as you have that belief you must have that belief. The two contexts may be different. You may believe it's right in one context, but not in another. We've just been through that. We're talking only about if you believe that, not one minute you believe that and one minute you don't. The only situation we're talking about is the one in which you do believe that. The question is, doesn't that therefore entail this directly? If you think it does, then your intuitions are going against you in this affair, they're going with Kant, because what Kant says is that there are only two concepts that are intrinsically action-guiding that don't need passions or inclinations to motivate you. Two concepts, and those are the concept of right and the concept of wrong. Where it's important that these are concepts, do you remember we talked about the difference between concepts and percepts and pro attitudes and da, da, da? That action is right. Kant says this is a belief. Do you remember that Hume denied that? Hume said that when we say something's right, do you remember the error theory from last week? So what we do when we say something's right according to Hume is we say that it generates in us feelings of disapprobation or approbation. Sorry, approbation if it's right. So that we're wrong to think that something like this is a belief. Kant's denying that. He's going right back and he's saying no. When we have a belief of that kind, what we're doing is we're picking out something in the world and we're saying of it that it has this property. And in doing that, we're ushering something that has truth or falsehood just like any other belief and that's embedded in a logical space so we can usually give reasons for saying why something's right. Why is lying not right? Well, because if most people didn't tell the truth most of the time, then we would lose our ability to communicate with each other. We would have no reason to exchange information. So Kant is going right back to where our intuitions actually were last week before we looked at Hume because we all would have said that that expresses a belief, not a passion. But Hume convinced us, if you remember last week, that it does express a passion, a pro-attitude of some kind and isn't a belief. But Kant's taking us right back to the claim it is. Going back to your earlier question about keeping your promise, would an immoral person believe it's right to keep your promise but choose not to do it at the same time? Well, we did look at that because you might... You could believe that and therefore believe that, Kant is suggesting. But without doing that, do you see what I mean? You're saying it's the action. Well, I mean, we all know... Think back to Aristotle. You know what the right thing to do is you do the right thing and you do the right thing for the right reason. Well, if you know what the right thing is but you don't do it, then something's gone missing immediately, hasn't it? In this situation, if you believe that and that but you then don't do this, you've given into temptation, haven't you? You've displayed weakness, malevolence perhaps, whatever. But some failure, some moral failure, okay, so according to Kant, there are only two intrinsically action-guiding concepts and by concept he means constituent of a belief, not a passion. And the two action-guiding concepts are right and wrong. And it's only those two concepts. It's only when we see that those properties are instantiated by an action or would be instantiated by an action that we are motivated immediately to act. We may not act, but we're motivated to act and what motivates us is not our own passion, our own desire, but our reverence for the moral law, our recognition that this is our moral duty in this case to do that or not to do this, etc. You're all looking very reverential now, which is absolutely how you should look when talking about Kant, because there's something very moving about this, isn't there? The idea that moral action is completely different from any other sort of action. And note incidentally that there wouldn't be nearly as many moral actions perhaps as you think there are, because a lot of the time we do things out of habit, we do things out of custom, we do things because we obey rules like keep promises, don't tell lies, etc. But only because the rule is just a knee jerk reaction. In Kant you are only acting morally when you actually act because you see that an action is right or you suppress an action because you see it would be wrong. That's the only time you act morally because then and only then there's a lot of reverence for the law. So, to recognise that an action is morally right, according to Kant, is thereby to believe it should be performed. No inclination is needed to move, to motivate an agent whose will is good. I should probably say there no other, no inclination at all is needed to motivate. There might be an inclination there, but if it motivates, it's not a moral action and no inclination is needed. So, for such an agent, his recognition that the act is required by the moral law is all the motivation that he needs. Okay, so now we're getting on to the bit that you've all been looking forward to. What is this moral law? But before we go on to that, did anyone feel last week swayed by Hume and this week is swayed by Kant? Good. Okay, well, how many do you feel that? Because I remember reading Hume and then reading Kant and thinking, blah! It's just like being going in one direction then another. Good, I think it's absolutely proper that you should be driven by the arguments of one philosopher and then by the arguments of another philosopher. I think the reason that I don't... Well, swayed yes, but I just believe that Kant and probably Hume as well didn't understand the engineering of how Hume's work. So... No, because Hume's saying that we've driven by a passion, I think, is a kind of biological fact that I believe in. And therefore, your motivation to act, I'm with Hume. I don't think he may not have understood what we understood now about how, you know, biological being works. But you know, I think that's what I understand, is how we work. I think probably quite a lot of you feel that or certainly felt that last week about Hume, because his theory of mind, his theory of what motivates action of what gets us to move, is really very convincing, isn't it? And it convinces Kant as well for all action except the moral actions. But according to Kant, there are just these two moral concepts and where I need to press you a bit then is here. Because what you're saying is that it would be possible to believe, I believe it is right to keep promises. Therefore, I should keep promises. Now you're saying that is not an entailment, that there absolutely must be a desire in here. I want to do what's right or something like that. I'm saying the reason I believe it's right to keep promises is because I have reasons around why it is right. Yes, but that's more reasoning. That's not introducing a passion, is it? You're now looking at the web of reasons in which any reason is embedded. But I think reasoning is always around the passion. Hang on, no, we're looking for the passion. You must want to add a passion in here in order to get the entailment. Do you see what I mean? What Kant is saying is that that entails that directly, that you cannot believe that without believing that. The only reason you'd deny that is if you think that that can only entail that if you have a desire in there. If you wouldn't deny it, you're not with humour, you're with Kant. Well, I think he's come to the right answer. No, that won't do. What were you going to say? It seems that Kant is suggesting that nearly all our actions are not moral. They might be right, but they're not moral. Because we don't necessarily think about... I'm trying to think in the last week of what action I might have performed that I could class as moral because I thought that I'm doing it for the right reason. And maybe there wouldn't be many of them, or indeed any of them. Yeah, and actually I don't think there's... I think that's probably situation normal, because actually morality only really kicks in, doesn't it, when we're really in a situation... When we think we know what to do when we're on autopilot and the girl at the till gives us too much change and we look at it and we think too much change and we tell her, well, actually, that's possibly quite a good... I mean, why would you do that? I mean, you do that in order to impress her or to impress the people in the queue? Okay, if it's automatic, then it's not because you see that it's required of you by the moral law. That's the last time you really had a real moral dilemma when you had to think out what was right and you had to decide whether to do what you believed to be right. It would have been a situation where seeing something as right motivated you to act on that thing, but possibly your inclination's getting in the way or something like that. If you nevertheless did the right thing and you did it because you believed it was the right thing to do, then you were acting morally. I think it is perfectly reasonable that there should be far fewer moral actions than we actually think there are. But the important thing about moral action is that if Kant is right, there is just two types of belief that are counter examples to Hume. Interestingly, they're the beliefs that would be absolutely central to human existence. They would be central to acting rightly or wrongly to doing the right thing or not, and that would be any belief about something's being right or something's being wrong. The word conscience hasn't been mentioned in the development of conscience in your experience. If I do something which I know I should have done against my conscience, then it becomes uncomfortable for me afterwards in the discomforts. If you don't do it in order to avoid that feeling of discomfort, what have you done? You've acted on an inclination there. If your reason for not doing it is because you're disliked feeling discomfort later, then you're acting on your passions, aren't you? That's not a moral action at all. It may conform to the moral law and we certainly want to encourage you to do things that don't make you uncomfortable, but the fact is you haven't acted morally. You haven't acted immorally either, but... I think most of the time, most of it's me anyway, is because I don't like the uncomfortable feeling of conscience. Right, but do you see the difference? Yeah. Does it matter how conscious our processes are or make these decisions? If you're talking here about whether I think carefully about whether I'm doing the right thing, whether it's a knee-jerk reaction, does it matter? If I follow the moral law, because it's embedded in my... Or if I've decided I'm going to act and therefore I do the right thing, because I've considered it, does that matter? Well, I don't know quite how to answer that from Kant's point of view. Again, I'm not a Kant scholar here. But if you think about Aristotle, that habit was what was important, that you had to go to instill these habits in you, and that would suggest that to him, consciousness of what you were doing wasn't important. But if we're right that actually there are very few actions that are really moral and that in order to be properly moral, it must be a difficult... a conscious decision to act in accordance with the moral law, all your inclinations falling away, then maybe it does need to be a conscious decision. So I don't deny to people who have that as a belief embedded in them, doesn't it? It means they're in varieties. I think it's valuable perhaps. Well, go back to Aristotle again. He thinks that rules run out. If all you are is a rule follower, you're not a moral person at all. You can spend your whole life doing the right thing, but you're actually not a moral agent. You're just a knee-jerk rule follower. You're a computer. You've just said something very scary to me. Oh, yes. If P is a set of all actions which Kant defines as immoral, then presumably all other actions are immoral. No, there are lots of actions that are non-moral. If an action doesn't conform to the moral law, it might be immoral, but it might just be non-moral. It might just not conform to the moral law. But if it's good, it would still be not moral. This is the point of Kant, isn't it? An action can conform to the moral law and in that sense be good and yet not be a moral action of the agents because it wasn't performed out of reverence for the law. So, again, look back to Ian giving the beggar a pound that that action conformed to the moral law, we're supposing, but he didn't perform it for the right reason. So it's not a moral action, but it nevertheless conforms to the moral law. In other words, it's what the moral law was asking of him, but he didn't do it for the right reason. It's not an either-or situation. That's right. Actions can conform to the moral law, they can not conform to the moral law and they can actually be against the moral law, violate the moral law. Any other questions? OK, let's move on a bit. Right, what is this moral law? Well, I've already said that different day ontologists would give different answers to this question. Some might cite the Ten Commandments. Kant is a very difficult case here because sometimes Kant talks as if the Ten Commandments do count for him as the moral law and he gives a lot of examples that actually really make it quite difficult to follow him. Famously, he talks about the idea that you should tell the truth even when the person has asked you where his knife is when the person's madman's got the knife or something. No, hang on, what is it? A madman asks you for his knife and you tell him where the knife is because you've got to tell the truth. OK, so I'm now not claiming that what I'm saying is the only interpretation of Kant. There are other interpretations of Kant according to which Kant had really rather different views but what I am saying is certainly one interpretation. Certainly what Kant said and it leads to one interpretation of Kant which I prefer. OK, so he offers several formulations. He offers six formulations of the moral law of the categorical imperative. In other words, any imperative that binds us entirely in virtue of our capacity for reason. We're going to have a look at two formulations the formula of the universal law and the formula of the end in itself. OK, here's the formula of the universal law. Act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will it should be universal law. OK, do you remember what a maxim was? What was a maxim? That's right. It's a rule on which you're currently acting or the reason you're currently acting. So act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it should be universal law. The will here is of course your good will. It's what you would will to happen. So when we act intentionally, we act on a maxim and the first formulation of the moral law tells us that our maxims must always be universalisable. What does that mean? Our maxims must be universalisable. It means we should ask of all our possible maxims what if everyone were to act on this? What if everyone was to do this? It's very important that we get this question right because the question is not what if my doing it were to cause everyone else to do it. In other words, if I go around picking the flowers in the park and everyone sees me and they think, if she can pick them, I can pick them. Therefore, I could say to myself, well, I won't cause anyone to do this because I'll do it at the dead of night and nobody will see me. So we're not asking that at all. What we're asking is what if everyone were to act on this maxim? What if everyone were to pick the flowers in the park? Last year, I saw somebody going around picking armfuls of daffodils in the university parks. I blushed to admit I didn't say anything. I was afraid she would hit me, but it's quite extraordinary to see someone doing that. Maybe she was a gardener. Try universalising the following maxims. You're thinking to yourself, I'm making a false promise to James in order to get James to do what I want. I won't get him to do what I want unless I promise him that I'll do what he wants. I have no intention of doing what he wants, but I'm just going to tell him I am. What would happen if we universalised that maxim? You could never trust anybody at all. Why not? How would that work? The idea of making a false promise, you're not actually asking the right question here in. In fact, I'm going to reject your answer for a minute and just say let's go back to universalising. We're asking what if everyone were to do this? I'm sure you could modify very slightly what you said. What if everyone were to make a false promise? Is it communication that would fail? Is it trust in a particular area? The whole institution of promise keep you just fall down, wouldn't it? It would be hopeless. If you could never trust people to make promises, that's why you're absolutely right to pick out the idea of trust. There wouldn't be any point in making a promise. The point in making a promise is that it changes your reasons for acting in a situation, doesn't it? There are big promises like marrying somebody or smaller promises like I'll come to your party. Instantly notice that we can get out of promises if I promise to come to your party but then on the way I've come across someone who's just been run over and I've got to take them to hospital, didar, didar. I know that that's the situation in which breaking my promises is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. But if I think, well actually I promised I'd go to the party but I really don't feel like it, that's not an acceptable reason, is it? So you're putting yourself in the position of the person to whom you make the promise and say, would this be an acceptable situation? But if everyone were to make false promises then promising just wouldn't be an institution, would it? It would just fall down completely. And what would we lose then? What would we lose if we lost the institution of promise keeping? I think it's the base for communication, gentlemen. I'm not sure promise keeping is the best, truth telling is the basis for communication but promise keeping is not quite the basis for communication. We'd certainly lose contracts because contracts are based on promises but what about my promise to come to your party? What does that do? If I broke that promise they'd lose faith in me but if you promised to come to my party and on the basis of that promise I'd go ahead with the party what have I gained by being able to rely on that promise? Predictability motivation. Predictability motivation. I'm now prepared to go ahead. The risk has been mitigated somewhat perhaps by your promise to be present. So we manage our expectations quite a lot by promise keeping and if the institution of promise keeping were to fall down we wouldn't be able to do that. And so if you universalise the maxim on which you would act then I'm going to make a false promise you would see that it's the wrong thing to do, isn't it? It contradicts the moral law. It would lead to a very bad situation. So you can't universalise that maxim. It contradicts what you're trying to do. What about this one? I refuse to help James because I don't feel like helping him. Not in the mood, not going to do it. So universalise it for a minute what happens? People only do what they want to do. People only help others if they actually feel like it. And what would happen in that situation? Including children and babies and elderly people and it would be a pretty distasteful world, wouldn't it? In which people acted on that maxim. So the universalisation of a maxim is quite important. You don't do anything if you're wondering what to do morally unless you can universalise your maxim. What this does, the results would be disastrous. If we try and fail to universalise a maxim, says Kant, it tells us that we shouldn't act on this maxim because if this maxim is reason for us to act and we've all wanted to make false promises we've all wanted to not help because we're not in the mood or whatever. But if it's a reason for us to act then it's also a reason for everyone else to act. We're not different from anyone else. And if it would be disaster if everyone else acted on it and we're saying that our acting on it is acceptable then what we're doing is we're making an exception for ourselves. Kant wants to say, well, on what grounds do we do that? Are desires more important than anyone else's? Are we more important than anyone else? We're not. Once you've stripped away the passions and you've taken a human being back to sheer reason then there's nothing to distinguish any one human being from any other human being. What distinguishes us from each other according to Kant are our inclinations, our desires, our passions. What we want to do, not just in the next ten minutes but with our life and da da da da. If you take us back to our rational nature then we're identical because in reasoning all human beings, indeed all rational animals Kant doesn't rule out the possibility of there being other reasoners are the same because to reason is to look at the rational relations between our beliefs in the way we were looking at before. So if we're identical when it comes to reason and we can see that we would be, we have reason to do this on this particular occasion then so does everyone else have reason to do it and if everyone else doing it would be bad so we don't want anyone else to do it then this is reason for us not to do it as well. So the formula of the universal law tells us that we should act on a maxim only if we can consistently recommend that everyone placed as we are placed should do the same thing. Notice placed as we are placed is actually quite important because there's never a case where the action you're about to perform would be identical if it was performed by someone else. This sounds a bit like do unto others as you would wish to be done by but then I've just put my hand up, I thought well if you were a sadist or a maschist you'd wish to be whipped and then it falls down. Except no, we need to think about that because actually it doesn't fall down because your misunderstanding do unto others and you think it falls down because I've forgotten your name, Phil. If I'm a sadist and I look at Phil and say okay I'd like to be whipped therefore he'd like to be whipped I'm not doing as I would be done by am I because I don't know what he wants what that asks you to do is to put yourself in his position see the world from his point of view ask what would he like to have done to him not put myself in his position and ask what I would like done if I were him. If you see what I mean? Universalising is if you would like it done can you imagine? No, it's absolutely not. This is a very common failure of morality is when I put myself in someone else's position and work out what I would like and then do to them what I would like, whereas what I should be doing is putting myself in their position in the sense of asking what they would like exercising empathy put it literally pretending I am looking at the world through their eyes not pretending that the eyes through which they look are mine. That's the wrong thing entirely. And if you get the wrong handle of the stick of do as you would be done by you're going to be going around acting very selfishly it's a completely different thing. So the universalising to what extent is Kant like do as you would be done by it doesn't quite work like that because Kant's asking us to take everyone back to their reason the kernel in them that is their reason rather than the passions and when we act morally what we're doing is we're saying what would happen if everyone were to do this if everyone were to act on this maxim that I'm planning to act on so I can see why you think there's a similarity there but I don't think it's the same thing. Is it more like the original position that you spoke about in the early weeks if you have to make a Lord so that everybody whatever your position you live by it and everybody In a way it is more like yes absolutely because in the original position of course actually your desires fall out because you don't know what your desires are. I can see why you'd say that again I'd want to look a lot more closely at both of them but I do think that yes your inclinations fall out in the original position because you don't know what your inclinations are but your reason is left the reason that you know I might be him, I might be him, I might be him if I were him, if I were Okay let's look at the next formulation of the end in itself of the categorical imperative so these are different formulations of the moral law of the categorical imperative and this is the formula of the end in itself so act that you use humanity whether in your own person or in the person of another always at the same time as an end never merely a means Okay so if I ask you to pass me a pencil can you do that? Okay I've forgotten your name as well Volker Okay I've just treated Volker as a means to my ends then you'd better have it back I wanted to use him as an example and so I went and asked him to give me his pen and he nicely gave me his pen I used him as a means to my own end but I didn't not treat him as an end in himself because you could have refused you could have said no it's my only pen I'm writing down every pearl that falls from your lips so we use each other as means all the time there's nothing wrong with using other people as means to your own ends what's wrong is if you use them as means to your own ends but not at the same time as ends in themselves so we've always got to respect the autonomy of the other we've always got to respect that they have their own choices to make so if I decide to lie to Dudley in order to get him to do something I want him to do and I know he won't do it unless I tell him that his doing it will bring him this benefit or that benefit or something and I lie to him in order to do that I'm treating him only as a means to my own ends I'm not giving him the option of making a true decision making a proper decision on the basis of this case so what this formula says is that we've got to use humanity and notice whether in our own person I've got to always treat I mustn't allow myself to be used as nothing more than a means to the ends of another I'm morally wrong if I allow myself to be used in that way every bit as much as if I use you in that way so either in your own person or in the person of another always at the same time as an end never solely as a means so I can't believe that every rational being its capacity for autonomy is an end in itself so this capacity for free will autonomy absolutely central to Kant he believes that the good will is the only thing that's good in itself and a will can only be good if it's free no end in itself should ever be treated as nothing more than a means to the ends of others now only human beings are known to be rational but perhaps dolphins, elephants, margins etc are also rational and as far as Kant's concern it doesn't matter it's not what is rational that counts but that it is rational so whatever is rational is bound by the moral law in exactly the same way so if animals are rational they too are bound by the moral law if margins are rational they are also bound by the moral law and we have a duty to treat them as ends in themselves reason and freedom are linked we might not have brought this out before but a being who acts for reasons is a being who must choose between reasons because every time you act there are lots of different reasons for acting aren't there you could do this, you could do that, you could do the other thing and if you've got lots of different reasons for acting then you must choose one of those reasons and so to be rational is to be free similarly a being who chooses his actions there must be a reason for which he chooses them so rationality and freedom go together which is actually why some determinists deny the capacity for reason so there's a group called the eliminativists who think that we're actually not rational we don't have free will, that there's no intentions they actually think there's no minds I think we won't go into that too deeply If we believe that animals aren't rational does that mean that we don't have to behave morally towards them? Kant believes that animals aren't rational and he therefore believes that they don't have rights they don't have the right to be treated as ends in themselves but he doesn't think that that means we don't have duties towards them so the fact that animals don't have rights doesn't mean we don't have duties so no we can't treat animals in any way we like even though they don't have rights as far as Kant is concerned so okay reason and freedom go together To believe oneself to be able to choose freely how to act and we do believe that of ourselves even if we're determinists we have a lot of trouble not believing that we are free to act it's almost certainly to believe that one has the right to choose how to act if I start interfering in your right to choose how to act you'll get quite pissed off with me quite quickly because actually all of us feel that we have the right to choose how to act on pain of inconsistency therefore to see another being as rational is to see them also as having the right to choose how to act so if your right to choose how to act is based in your capacity to choose how to act your capacity for reason then you must also recognise in every other rational being a similar right if your rationality confers on your right how can you withhold that from any other rational being so to believe that rational beings have the right to choose for themselves how to act is inconsistent with treating other rational beings as nothing more than a means to your own end though it is consistent with treating them at the same time as a means do you remember that as I said before you can treat them as a means whenever you like as long as you're also treating them as an end in themselves so the difference between human cant lies in whether moral judgments like this is right and this is wrong express passions informed by a stable and general perspective on the world or beliefs about what is required of us by the moral law and Aristotle believes that the final end of a human being an end without which we can't... sorry an end we can't achieve without virtue as happiness but Kant believes we can attain happiness without fulfilling our obligations under the moral law and even without exercising reason actually Kant's quite funny on this Kant is not often funny but he is funny on this he thinks that actually somebody who's rational and who's always exercising reason is sometimes less likely to be happy than somebody who isn't somebody who just lets their reason flow is more likely to be happy he thinks which Aristotle would but then of course we've got to remember that for Aristotle happiness is such a bad translation etc so can't even suggest that one who doesn't exercise reason I've just said that so for Kant what matters is not whether or not we're happy only that we're worthy to be happy to be properly human for Kant is to be worthy to be happy whether or not we are happy wouldn't it be similar to what Aristotle claimed a lifelong process to be worthy of happiness well actually when you take into account what Aristotle meant by happiness again I think you end up with Kant perhaps not being so very far away I mean I hope you've noticed that actually the more you understand about these philosophers and the theories the less far apart they seem I mean I'm not saying for one minute that you can conflate them all because you can't there are very very specific differences between them and they can't all be right but actually it's very interesting to see on what they agree and on what that tells us about morality Kant thinks we can only be worthy of happiness if we exercise reason and fulfil our obligations under the moral law which is rather similar to Aristotle didadodab done all that okay so I think that's okay who are you tending towards I don't want to just want to tell you something else Kant believes we only have two duties in life one is to create the happiness of others and the other is to create our own moral perfection and he says and this is another time when he's quite funny he says actually most of us go through life doing the opposite trying to create our own happiness and others moral perfection and if you think about it that is so right it really is but it's also quite interesting to look at those two duties as the only duties that the moral law requires of us okay so who are you tending towards put your hands up Aristotle Hume okay Kant oh Kant's winning okay these are the questions yes exactly till next week these are the questions that you might want to have a look at see whether you can answer just to see check on your understanding of this week there's the reading for next week and that's it	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz5ZslW6Bzw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

[ "SiliconANGLE Media Inc", "SiliconANGLE", "SiliconANGLE Inc", "theCUBE", "Wikibon", "John Furrier", "Dave Vellante" ]	2022-10-28T16:24:38	2024-02-05T08:42:19	1,092	VzVgMAEWniI	Good Friday morning everyone from Motor City. Lisa Martin here, John Furrier. This is our third day, theCUBE's third day of coverage of KubeCon, CloudNativeCon 22 North America. John, we've had some amazing conversations the last three days. We've had some good conversations about observability. We're going to take that one step further and look beyond its three pillars. Yeah, this is going to be a great segment. I'm looking forward to this. This is about in-depth conversation on observability. The guest is technical and it's on the front lines with customers looking forward to this segment. It should be great. Ian Smith is here, the field CTO at Chronosphere. Ian, welcome to theCUBE, great to have you. Thank you so much, it's great to be here. All right, talk about the traditional three pillars approach and observability. What are some of the challenges with that and how does Chronosphere solve those? Sure, so hopefully everyone knows. People think of the three pillars as logs, metrics and traces. What do you do with that? There's no action there. It's just data, right? You collect this data, you go put it somewhere but it's not actually talking about any sort of outcomes and I think that's really the heart of the issue is you're not achieving anything, you're just collecting a whole bunch of data. Where do you put it? What can you do with it? Those are the fundamental questions and so one of the things that we're focused on at Chronosphere is, well, what are those outcomes? What is the real value of that? And for example, thinking about phases of observability. When you have an incident or you're trying to investigate something through observability, you probably want to know what's going on, you want to triage any problems you detect and then finally you want to understand the cause of those and be able to take longer term steps to address them. What do customers do when they start thinking about it? Because observability has that promise. Hey, you know, get the data, we'll throw AI at it. And that'll solve the problem. When they get over their skis, when do they realize that they're really not tackling it properly or if the ones that are taking the right approach? What's the revelation? What's your take on that? You're in the front lines. What's going on with the customer? The good and the bad, what's the scene look like? Yeah, so I think the bad is you end up buying a lot of things or implementing even in open source or self-building and it's very disconnected. You don't have a workflow, you don't have a path to success. If you ask different teams, like how do you address these particular problems? They're going to give you a bunch of different answers and then if you ask about what their success rate is it's probably very uneven. Another key indicator of problems is that, well do you always need particular senior engineers in your instance or to help answer particular performance problems? And it's a massive anti-pattern, right? You have your senior engineers who will probably need to be focused on innovation and competitive differentiation, but then they become the bottleneck and you have this massive sort of wedge of maybe less experienced engineers but no less valuable in the overall company perspective who aren't effective at being able to address these problems because the tooling isn't right, the workflows are incorrect. So the senior engineers are getting pulled in to kind of fix and troubleshoot or observe what the observability data did or didn't deliver? Correct, yeah. And the promise of observability, a lot of people talk about unknown unknowns and there's a lot of crafting complex queries and all this other thing. It's a very romantic sort of deep dive approach but realistically you need to make it very accessible. If you're relying on complex query languages and the required knowledge about the architecture and everything every other team is doing, that knowledge is going to be super concentrated in just a couple of heads and those heads shouldn't be woken up every time at 3 a.m. They shouldn't be on every instant call but oftentimes they are the sort of linchpin to addressing, oh, as a business we need to be up 99.99% of the time. So how do we accomplish that? Well, we're going to end up burning those people but also at least to a great dissatisfaction in the bulk of the engineers who are just trying to build and operate the services. So talk, you mentioned that some of the problems with the traditional three pillars are it's not outcome-based, it leads to siloed approaches. What is Chronosphere's definition and can you walk us through those three phases and how that really gives you that competitive edge in the market? Yeah, so the three phases being no triage, I don't understand, so just knowing about a problem and you can relate this very specifically to capabilities but it's not capabilities first, not feature function first. So no, I need to be able to alert on things. So I do need to collect data that gives me those signals but particularly as the industry starts moving towards as slow as you start getting more business-relevant data. Everyone knows about alert storms and as you mentioned, there's this great white hope of AI and machine learning but AI machine learning is putting your trust in sort of a black box or the more likely reality is that really it's a statistical model and you have to go and spend a very significant time programming it for sort of not great outcomes. So no, okay, I want to know that I have a problem, I want to maybe understand the symptoms of that particular problem and then triage, okay, maybe I have a lot of things going wrong at the same time but I need to be very precise about my resources, I need to be able to understand the scope and importance, maybe I have five major SLOs being violated right now. Which one is the greatest business impact? Which symptoms are impacting my most valuable customers? And then from there, not getting to the situation, which is very common, where okay, well we have every customer facing engineering team, they have to be on the call. So we have 15 customer facing web services, they all have to be on that call. Triage is a really important aspect of really mitigating the cost to the organization because everyone goes, oh, well I achieved my MTTR and my experience from a variety of vendors is that most organizations, unless you're essentially failing as a business, you achieve your SLA, you know, three nines, four nines, whatever it is. But the cost of doing that becomes incredibly extreme. This is a huge point, I want to dig into it if you don't mind, because you know, we've been all seeing the cost of ownership miles and ITO, the cost of doing business, cost of the shark fin, the iceberg, what's under the water, all those metaphors. When you look at what you're talking about here, there are actually real hardcore costs that might be under the water, so to speak, like labor, senior engineering time, because cloud native engineers are coding in the pipelines, there's a lot of impact. Can you quantify and just share an example or illustrate where the costs are? Because this is something that's kind of not obvious on the hard costs, it's not like a dollar amount, time, resource, breach, wrong triage, gap in the data, what are some of the costs? Yeah, and I think they're actually far more important than the hard costs of infrastructure and licensing. And of course, there are many organizations out there using open source observability components together and they go, oh, it's free, no licensing cost. But you think again about those outcomes. Okay, I have these 15 teams and okay, I have X number of incidents a month. If I pull a representative from every single one of those teams on and it turns out that as we get down in further phases, we need to be able to understand and remediate the issue, but actually only two teams are required of that. There's 13 individuals who do not need to be on the call. Okay, yes, I met my SLA and MTTR, but if I am from a competitive standpoint, I'm comparing myself to a very similar organization that only need to impact those two engineers versus the 15 that I had over here, who is going to be the most competitive, who's going to be most differentiated. And it's not just in terms of number of lines of code, but leading to burnout of your engineers and the churn of that. VP's of engineering, particularly in today's economy, the hardest thing to do is acquire engineers and retain them. So why do you want to burn them unnecessarily on when you can say, okay, well, I can achieve the same or better result if I think more clearly about my observability, but reduce the number of people involved, reduce the number of senior engineers involved and ultimately have those resources and more focus on innovation. You know, one thing I want to, I don't know if we want to get in there, but one thing that's come up a lot this year, more than I've ever seen before, we've heard about the skill gaps, obviously, but burnout is huge. That's coming up more and more. This is a real, this actually doesn't help the skills gap either. So you got skills gap, that's the cost potentially, and then you got burnout. People just kind of sitting on their hands or just walking away. So one of the things that we're doing with Chronosphere is while we do deal with the pillar data, but we're thinking about it more, what can you achieve with that, right? And aligning with a no triage and understand, and so you think about things like alerts, you know dashboards, you'd be able to start triaging your symptoms, but really importantly, how do we bring the capabilities of things like distributed tracing, where they can actually impact this? And it's not just in the context of, well, what can we do in this one instant? So there may be scenarios where you absolutely do need those power users or those really sophisticated engineers, but from a product challenge perspective, what I'm personally really excited about is, how do you capture that insight and those capabilities and then feed that back in from a product perspective so it's accessible. So everyone talks about unknown unknowns and observability, and then everyone sort of is a little dismissive of monitoring, but monitoring is that thing that democratizes access and the decision-making capacity. So if you say, I once worked at an organization and there were three engineers in the whole company who could generate the list of customers who were impacted by a particular incident. And I was in post sales at the time, so anytime there was a major incident, you need to go generate that list. Those three engineers were on every single incident until one of them got frustrated and built a tool. But he built it entirely on his own. But can you think from an observability perspective, can you build a thing that it makes all of those kinds of capabilities accessible to the first point where you take that alert, you know which customers are affected or whatever other context was useful last time, but took an hour, two hours to achieve. And so that's what really makes a dramatic difference over time, is it's not about the day one experience, but how does the product evolve with the requirements and the workplace? And cloud native engineers, they're coding so they can actually be reactive. That's that there's been a platform and a tool. And platform engineering is the hottest topic at this event. And this year, I would say, with cloud native hearing a lot more. I mean, I think that comes from the fact that SRE is not really SRE. I think it's more of platform engineer. Not everyone in the company has an SRE or SRE environment. But platform engineering is becoming that new layer that enables the developer. This is what you're talking about. Yeah, and I know there's lots of different labels for it, but I think organizations that really think about it well, they're thinking about things like those teams that develop for efficiency and develop a productivity. Because it's again, it's about the outcomes. It's not, oh, we just need to keep the site reliable. Yes, you can do that. But as we talked about, there are many different ways that you can burn unnecessary resources. But if you focus on developer efficiency and productivity, there's retainment, there's that competitive differentiation. Let's up level those business outcomes. Obviously you talked about three phases, no triage, understand you've got great alignment with the cloud-native engineers, the end users. Imagine that you're facilitating companies' ability to reduce churn, attract more talent, retain talent. But what are some of the business outcomes? Like to the customer experience, to the brand, talk about it in some of those contexts. Yeah, one of the things that not a lot of organizations think about is what is the reliability of my observability solution? It's like, well, that's not what I'm focused on. I'm focused on the reliability of my own website. Okay, let's take the common open-source pattern. I'm going to deploy my observability solution next to my core site infrastructure. Okay, I now have a platform problem because DNS stopped working in cloud provider for my choice, it's also affecting my observability solution. So at the moment that I need- And the tool chain and everything else. Yeah, at the moment that I need it the most to understand what's going on and to be able to know triage and understand that fails me at the same time. It's like, so reliability has this very big impact. So being able to make sure that my solution is reliable so that when I need it the most and I can affect reliability of my own solution, my own SLA, that's a really key aspect of it. One of the things though that we look at is it's not just about the outcomes and the value. It's ROI, right? It's what are you investing to put into that? So we've talked a little bit about the engineering cost. There's the infrastructure cost, but there's also a massive data explosion particularly with cloud native. Yes, give us, all right, put that into real world examples, a customer that you think really articulates the value of what Chronosphere is delivering and why you're different in the market. Yeah, so DoorDash is a great customer example. They're here at KubeCon talking about their experience with Chronosphere and the cloud native technologies, Prometheus and those other components aligned with Chronosphere. But being able to undergo a transformation, there are cloud native organization but going a transformation from stats D to very heavy microservices, very heavy Kubernetes and orchestration and doing that with your massive explosion particularly during the last couple of years, obviously that's had a very positive impact on their business, but being able to do that in a cost effective way, right? One of the dirty little secrets about observability in particular is your business growth might be, let's say 50%, 60%, your infrastructure spend in the cloud providers is maybe going to be another 10, 15% on top of that, but then you have the intersection of, well, my engineers need more data to diagnose things. The business needs more data to understand what's going on, plus we've had this massive explosion of containers and everything like that. So oftentimes, your business growth is going to be more than doubled with your observability data growth and SaaS solutions and even your on-premise solutions, what's the main cost driver? It's the volume of data that you're processing and storing. And so Chronosphere, one of the key things that we do because we're focused on organizational pain for larger scale organizations is, well, how do we extract the maximum volume of the data you're generating without having to store all of that data and bring presented not just from a cost perspective, but also from a performance perspective. And so feeding all into developer productivity and also lowering that investment so that your return can stand out more clearly and more valuably when you're assessing that TCO. Better insights and outcomes strives developer productivity for sure. That also has a top theme here at KubeCon this year. It always is, but this is more than ever because of the velocity. My question for you, given that you're the field chief technology officer for Chronosphere and you have a unique position, got a great experience in the industry, been involved in some really big companies and cutting edge, what's the competitive landscape? Because the customers sometimes are confused by all the pitches they're getting from other vendors. Some are bolting on observability, some have, I would say, a shim layer or horizontally scalable platform or platform engineering approach. It's a data problem, okay? This is a data architecture challenge. You mentioned that many times. What's the difference between a pretender and a player in this space? What's the winning architecture look like? What's a, I won't say phony or fake solution, but ones that customers should be aware of because my opinion, if you have a gap in the data or you configure it wrong with a bolt on and say DNS crashes, you're dead in the water. What's the right approach from a customer standpoint? How do they squint through all the noise to figure out what's the right approach? Yeah, so, I mean, I think one of the ways, and I've worked with customers in a pre-sales capacity for a very long time, I know all the tricks of guiding it through, I think it needs to be very clear that customers should not be guided by the vendor. You don't talk to one vendor and they decide, oh, I'm going to evaluate based off this. We need to particularly get away from feature-based evaluations. Features are very important, but they're all have to be aligned around outcomes and then you have to clearly understand, where am I today? What do I do today? And what is going to be the transformation that I have to go through to take advantage of these features? It can get very entrancing and say, oh, there's a list of 25 features that this solution has that no one else has, but how am I going to get value out of that? I mean, distributed tracing is a distributed word. Distributed is the key word. This is a system architecture. The holistic big picture comes in. How do they figure that out? Knowing what they're transforming into, how does it fit in? What's the right approach? Too often I see distributed tracing particularly, bought because, again, look at the shiny features, look at the premise and the MTTR expectations, all these other things, and then it's off to the side. We go through the traditional usage of metrics, often very log heavy approaches, maybe even some legacy APM, and then it's sort of at last resort. And out of all the tools, I think distributed tracing is the worst in the problem we talked about earlier, where the most sophisticated engineers, the ones who are being longest-tenured and the only ones who end up using it. So adoption is really, really poor. So again, what do we do today? Well, we alert. We probably want to understand our symptoms, but then what is the key problem? Oh, we spend a lot of time digging into the where the problem exists in my architecture. We talked about, you know, getting every engineer in at the same time, but how do we reduce the number of engineers involved? How do we make it so that, well, this looks like a great day one experience, but what is my day 30 experience like? Day 90, how is the product to get more valuable? How do I get my most senior engineers out of this? Not just on day one, but as we progress through. You got to operationalize it. That's the key. Yeah, correct. Summarize this as we wrap here. When you're in customer conversations, what is the key factor behind Chronospheres success? If you can boil it down to that key nugget, what is it? I think the key nugget is that we're not just fixated on sort of like technical features and functions and frankly, gimmicks of like, oh, what could you possibly do with these three pillars of data? It's more about what can we do to solve organizational pain at the high level? Things like, what is the cost of these solutions? But then also on the individual level, it's like, what exactly is an engineer trying to do and how is their quality of life affected by this kind of tooling? And it's something I'm very passionate about. Sounds like it. Well, the quality of life is important, right? For everybody, for the business and ultimately ends up affecting the overall customer experience. So, great job, Ian. Thank you so much for joining John and me talking about what you guys are doing beyond the three pillars of observability at Chronosphere. We appreciate your insights. Thank you so much. All right.

Now this is perfect for the up and coming flu and cold season. Hopefully it'll help you avoid that. This will really help to hopefully boost your immune system so that you can ward off all those germs and stay healthy. So I'm Rockin' Robin and I'm going to show you how to make it right after this. Before we get started, go ahead and click that subscribe button and give me a like if you enjoy the video. Now this recipe is very similar to my very popular golden milk recipe, which is different than this in that that one has some milk alternative to it. This is much lighter, just like a regular tea and I think you'll love it. All right, so we're going to start with some water. We're going to place five cups of water into a saucepan and then I'm going to place the water on the stove and bring it to just a boil. And while I'm doing that, we're going to chop up the rest of our ingredients or get them ready. We're going to start with our turmeric root. You can find this at Whole Foods. I know they carry it. And if you can't find it, you can always use ground turmeric. It's not quite as good, I don't think, but use what you have. Now I like using the fresh because it's just better. Now you can either slice it up or you can grate it. I like to grate it. I just leave the skin on it and we just grate it up. And you're going to grate about two inches long of it. Another tip you can try with the turmeric is to freeze this first and then grate it. And it keeps it from staining as much because it's just frozen and it tends to work pretty well. Okay, so next is our ginger. Instead of grating this, I'm going to go ahead and show you how I would slice it up if you wanted to do the slicing method. You just want to cut this very thin. So if you wanted to slice up the turmeric, you could do that as well. You're going to use about an inch or so of the ginger. Our next ingredient that's going to go into the pot is some lemon. Now I'm using an organic lemon here and you want to peel it. I like to use just a potato peeler because it peels it very nice and thin and you don't want to get too much into the white. Did you see? You see how this is mostly just the peel itself and not much of the white at all. So that's what you want. You get the nice oils from this. It just adds a really nice flavor. That looks pretty good. So we're going to put all that in our pot and then we're going to juice our lemon as well. So I'll have that ready. I'll cut it in half. So now we're going to take this over and place these ingredients into the pot of water when it's ready. Okay, so here's our water. It's almost to a boil. You don't want to boil turmeric. It isn't good for all the good properties in it. So it's almost ready to boil. I'm going to toss it all in. Not with the turmeric, the ginger and the lemon peel. I'm going to toss in some cinnamon. In goes a few cracks of pepper. You can add as much of this as you like. It's important to have the pepper in there. That helps with the absorption of the curcumin that's in the turmeric. That really helps make it absorbable and usable in your body. Now like I said, we're not going to boil this. We're just going to bring it to a simmer and we're going to let this simmer for 10 minutes. So I'm going to turn my temperature to low and set the timer. After 10 minutes of simmering, the tea is done and I'm going to carefully, hopefully, pour it into my strainer here, into a larger glass because you want to strain out all of the turmeric bits and pieces. Whoopsie. Remember now, this stuff does stain. And you just want to strain it out. You can see I have paper towels laid down here because I want to protect my counters and whatnot. And you're going to take your lemon, the one we had peeled, right? And we're going to squeeze that fresh lemon juice, right into the tea. It gives it a nice, bright flavor. Now this tea will last you for about three days. I make about three days worth. And I store it in the mason jar here and in the fridge. And it's great. It's easy and convenient once we've made it. And then when I go to serve it up, I pour it into a cup. Now you want to add a little bit of fat to this. That also helps with the absorption of the turmeric along with that pepper. So you can use any kind of fat you want. You can use butter, you can use ghee, you can use, I'm using coconut oil. And you want about, you know, maybe just almost a teaspoon into one cup of tea. And that will quickly dissolve right into that because the tea is still hot. I add the coconut oil each time I pour a cup. I don't put it in the whole batch. Just because the coconut oil solidifies, I like to just do it individually. When I heat up another cup, I just add a teaspoon of coconut oil to it. And I add some honey, and that's it. So I like to use raw honey. So you can add as much of this as you want. So I'll just place that in there. And there's our cup of turmeric tea, our immune-boosting tea that's gonna keep you healthy. All right, here we go. Let's do a taste. I love that flavor. That is really delicious. It's got that nice brightness from the lemon. You know, you can taste the turmeric a little bit. It's not that big of a deal. The cinnamon, I could even go for a little more cinnamon. I think a little bit more might be nice. So thanks for watching, everybody. I hope you enjoyed the video. Please subscribe to my channel, give me a thumbs up. And of course, leave me a comment. Let me know if you're gonna try this. And if you wanna try the golden milk, I'll leave a link for you up here and down below in the description. And we'll see you next time. Take care, be healthy.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzC7NO75_mU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Ever since the beginning, Chromat has celebrated all different types of bodies on our runway shows and campaigns, so we're one of the first fashion designers to show plus-size models at New York Fashion Week. We've always had trans models and queer people in our shows and campaigns and work with people behind the scenes equally. We represent different communities that have been historically underrepresented in fashion. We've done so many things over the years, but we've always approached everything with a sense of experimentation. I think coming from architecture, treating the body as a site to create augmentation and enhancement, I never look at the body as something that is wrong or that needs to be fixed. I guess that treatment of the body as a place to be celebrated, not a place to be fixed, is something that has always been a through line in what we do and I think separates us from other designers. I studied architecture and I worked for architects for many years, and Chromat kind of evolved as something I did on the side. It was a way for me to experiment with design and basically take the design process I learned in architecture school but apply it to a smaller scale, which is the body. The best thing about Chromat for me has been collaborating with other people and me bringing what some idea I had, but then it morphs and evolves and changes and gets so much better than I could have ever dreamed of. She really respects your integrity as an artist and as a collaborator and respects your vision, and so I think that's really important and that's why she's been able to establish this really beautiful community and family of people that really care about the people that they work with, care about their message, the meaning behind their work. Finding my authentic voice or figuring out who I was, it took a lot of dredging through that messy marketing media about how women or girls should present themselves and so I think starting Chromat, I knew from the beginning that I didn't want to only celebrate one type of beauty or how skinny white girls only in our shows. I understood the power of representation and the power of showcasing different beauty or showcasing people as they are authentically is a good thing and not everyone has to conform to a single way of being or presenting. So I think that from the beginning, I think I was aware of the dangers of fashion and the dangers of media representation, so I wanted to utilize Chromat as a platform and be able to rewrite some of that narrative.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZHQGhq-9QQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It is Friday. That means FNA Friday and today it's going to be about work-life balance productivity and burnout Okay, so on my YouTube comments and sometimes on Instagram and the places where I post people are asking me about my schedule because of the stuff that I post and things that work kind of like what is my day and Also, how do I deal with the workload the amount of work that I have? What if I have burnout how do I deal with burnout? So I thought today I'm going to lump all this together into one big FNA I want to talk about my process my schedule how I go about things and how I do and schedule my day So for me work is not life. There has to be a work-life balance So it's not work equals life. It is really a balance and preferably life is a bit higher up there and has more weight But of course depending on the situation You might not have the luxury to put more emphasis on your life and you have to focus on work Or for me I try really hard to have that balance and really work and then turn my brain off and then enjoy life Because for me the productivity and the risk of having burnout is directly linked to that work-life balance It all depends kind of my schedule. Sometimes I have a lot to do sometimes I don't really have that much to do and mainly I work at ILM Which comes first because that is my day job. That is the main job It pays my bills and is my career and the main focus in terms of work on the side I also teach and depending on schedule. I have a lot of classes. Sometimes it's not that many classes But technically I teach an animation mentor in the city I don't want to point this way but but I teach in the city physical on-site class I also teach an Academy online class at the same time I also teach animation mentor then also have my animation workshops as you know if you watch my channel and now on Top of those classes. I do have my YouTube channel As you know, you're watching this on YouTube where I post more lectures and FNAs and critiques and I kind of lump All of this into my teaching group. But that group should not interfere with ILM ILM is the main focus so whatever I have at work in terms of the schedule Over time or whatever it is all the teaching has to be structured around it and make sure that it doesn't interfere in terms of Schedule that I can't do over time or that I can't hit the deadlines or just kind of anything That's a problem for ILM in terms of deadline and just general job interference needs to be avoided So all the classes are kind of built around that I'm not gonna have five class in the evening which I can't anyway Which means that I can't do any potential over time in the evening or weekends if I had a class on the weekend at the same time I don't want to stop teaching because I love teaching So I want to keep an eye on the schedule and make sure that I have a class somewhere So I don't want to stop that and I don't always have classes for all of those So sometimes another of students for the mentor class that teach all kinds of different classes there was beginner to acting But also creature classes and you never know who signs up or who doesn't sign up and if there is enough Demand for class so sometimes I don't have animation mentor sometimes a physical class at the academy the same thing They're not enough sign-ups student demand wasn't enough for that class What a reason there is an online academy is not that often but when it happens and there's room then I teach it So again, it doesn't mean that there's always a class there that being said right now. There is I do have an on-site I do have an online I do teach mentor and I have my workshops So it's a lot and I thought maybe I should just document just once even just for myself how it is And actually if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my stories But it did save them and I won't actually walk through that day with you now So you can kind of see what my day is when I get up in the morning and what I do throughout the day And until I go to bed and make some room. Let's play this here So you can see that I get up usually a quarter to five by the time I stumble into the bathroom It is close to five I wake up and got my morning protein shake and then I get into my office, which you can see it looks Somewhat okay until I pan over to the mess, which I never have time to clean It's a constant struggle and then I do usually academy critiques in the morning and workshop critiques Then on Wednesdays at six or at this term actually it's 6 30 I have a Q&A with my students and then after the Q&A is done I am exporting my workshop critique in Premiere for a YouTube upload and while that goes on I do my animation buffet rig uploads and Twitter postings and all that stuff that I do in the morning Then it's time to go to work and work has traffic this time with some bad traffic on the bridge But usually you have some traffic then I get to work That is the work lobby as you can see and I'm not allowed to show too much in there But on Wednesdays we have donuts and I said no because I have to lose weight inside ILM Don't tell anybody that I film this you have some props and some models and posters There's some awesome goodies displayed those costumes rotate not the stormtroopers, but those side costumes every now and then There's some new ones then it's lunchtime saying no to tater tots and burgers and fries and I have something healthier Then in the afternoon, there's more awesome stuff everywhere. You look I'm a massive fan of this You might not be but I love it and then it's done I say bye bye to Darth and it's time to go to this city. Yes There's still traffic I park and get out of there walk to school and as I walk I say no to more more more More stuff that I can't eat then I'm at the class. That's the 180 building I'm inside the physical can't film people there that is not allowed. I don't want to have them on screen That wouldn't that would be rude then I get out and when I'm at home I post the critique that I exported and I post that everywhere Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter and later on Instagram and That was the day quarter to five and I went to bed at 11 35 Which means the next day I actually get up at six usually I get up a quarter to five That is the schedule tip the weekends It's a bit later, but I try to kind of be somewhat regular in terms of when I get up And I get up this early in the morning because I want to be productive And I do more in the morning because there are no disturbances There's no email no text or nothing like no one's around already sleeping I'm alone in my office and I can get all my work done I also feel better when I get everything done in the morning and nothing is looming throughout the day or in the evening That being said every now and then there's more to do and it kind of swaps into the evening Scheduled block which I try to keep open for just personal things But every now and then that happens now as I work on those things. I try to be as Automated, but I have a lot of templates. So when I do my critique I put that into my premier template which has the intro the outro all the blow isn't everything I just put in my critique and adjust the end where the the outro comes in and export that same thing if I post a Rig on my animation buffet website that has an automatic post on Twitter Then I just manually put that onto my personal Twitter account But I also like to sometimes post things separately and specifically with different images and so on and so on So I have my my own kind of thing But at the same time I'm trying to have lots of templates that includes anything that I do and premiere if I post something on Instagram I look at my previous post copy paste the whole thing all the hashtags and everything and I kind of change the intro text There's a lot of copy pasting going on a lot of templates and things that I can use same thing in Photoshop If I do my thumbnails for YouTube I have a Photoshop template with all the titles that's bring in new images and kind of tweak these as you kind of do But all of that is there to save me time By the way, I ordered a new chair So this creaking is gonna be over I think this weekend maybe next week definitely next week a new chair finally But as you saw in Instagram story I have a stream deck which I don't use for streaming yet I'm gonna be streaming anytime soon But I use it for other things which will be a review actually a separate post But there's so many things that I do over and over and over like if I have my workshop I've got a right to pass the things certain elements in the text that I keep repeating and all of that you can Have custom actions on that stream deck. So all I gotta do is push a button to open this push a button to write that text Or if I do my Q&A using zoom usually you open zoom and then you have Whatever the main page and then you choose your participants and the and the video webcam turns on and of course you could do all of this By hand I could do all of this by hand But even without a stream deck you can say an action delay some time another action and all of that push one button And then it opens up. I know this sounds extremely lazy But trust me if you do those things all the time every day Repetitive things you want to have something where you don't have to do this over and over and over and it just saves me time And it's also mentally I can just go and kind of turn my brain off do those things and prepare So all of that goes into not burning out. So little things but they add up at least for me I also keep a really tight schedule at work. So I'm hourly. I'm not paid salary So if I'm working 40 hour weeks, so it's eight hour a day after the eighth hour I'm out now. I know this might be very antisocial or you know, whatever you want to call this But I want to go home and see my family. I want to have dinner with my kids. I want to put my little kid to bed I want to read to him. So for me my work is done work is done And it's not that I don't like work and I don't like the people there But again, I want to have work and then I want to have that balance And then I want to go home and have my family life and that's where that balance comes in So I wake up early in the morning to get my teachings done and all the little things that I need to do Then I do my work block and then I come home. So when I'm home, I can spend time with my kid I can have dinner. I can snuggle with my wife. We can watch a movie together We can watch a TV show together. I can play some video games. I can read a book There's all kinds of things I can do and mainly it's something that is not work related I can just decompress relax and just do the things that I can either do with my wife or my kids and my family Or something about myself if I watch a horror movie that I usually watch by myself And that's the balance that I'm trying to go for and on top of that I try to schedule an exercise now This is again tricky because I have the obligations because of work and the teachings But I don't want this to be where well, I don't have time to exercise. I'm not gonna do this every now and then that happens But I'm 40 Hold on my 42. No, I'm 41. I'm only 42 actually soon. Anyway, so I need to exercise I need to have that balance of I'm sitting here and what is slouch and I sit in the car and I sit I work and I can stand I work too and I can stand here. I have a This table that goes up and out so I have ways but generally still I need to exercise and I want to exercise I also like to swim a lot. I like to play basketball and tennis Now she just recently bought a hoop that I have outside. I can play with my little kid I can bring the hoop down and then bring it up. I can play and of course I got my dog So whenever I can if it's not raining but sometimes even in the rain we go out Then I walk for half an hour with my dog So I really try to have a good balance in terms of work and then family and exercise to stay healthy Of course, there are always some compromises. There are always some exceptions But at least I try to do that and if I don't do this, especially if you have at work You have you have your overtime food, which we're lucky to get sometimes. It's not the healthiest food and then you know Things grow and right now and a place where I need to lose a lot of weight Hence all the no when you see all those temptations But I try to be healthy and I try to stay within that healthy Balance like I said where I really want to focus on all those things I don't want to just work and also just don't want to be just lazy and I don't want to just exercise So I want that healthy blend and that mix that gives me an overall Balanced hopefully a balanced life. Now, that's during the week. So on the weekends Saturday Sunday, I do nothing Again, there are exceptions. Sometimes we have Saturday overtime could be Sometimes it happened be some critics are important or something for the channel that I need to edit I'm not done yet And I'm trying to do this in the morning Maybe maybe in the evening but I try in the morning But Saturday is usually time for my kids because my wife is working on Saturdays right now So Sunday is then family time with everybody and I really tried to do nothing in terms of work It's just family time It's quality over quantity and I don't want to think about work and then by Sunday night I can go to bed and then Monday the whole thing starts again that being said I like my work I like what I do a like animating like animating at the company that I'm at I like teaching and I like all those other things that I do But if there ever is a sense of I'm overworked or I'm stressed or I'm tired or starting to get exhausted I do a hard stop like this week. So right now we're working on saw words episode 9 there was a lot to do and as you could see on Wednesday, that was a long day and I didn't have time to work on the acting analysis and I was really tired And I didn't want to work on this on Thursday until 3-4 in the morning and then post it So I have my schedule. I upload the things that I do as you can see if I don't get to my bigger uploads Upload a critique because I have almost a thousand critiques So I have a lot of material that I can upload for you Hopefully the to learn but I'm not gonna kill myself and get up and do this. So I didn't have time I was tired. So I said no, I was not gonna do this didn't upload anything besides the critique Which was already done and it was Thursday, which means Star Trek Discovery time and I sat down with my wife He watched the episode and it was great and I relaxed and the same is with work So if we have work and there's overtime if after a while It just gets too much. I just stop and it's not mandatory overtime and if I'm too tired and exhausted I won't be efficient anyway at work and we have the freedom to tell production listen I can't come in or I feel overworked. I'm not gonna do this I just do my regular time and they're okay with that and then once I'm recovered I can go back and do overtime if I want to so I try to Choose specifically when I work like how much I work and what days so it's it's not a feeling of there's so much And I'm overloaded this I'm choosing to work this little or this much and I'm trying to schedule things So it's always something that I can manage. So that's my balance and sometimes you got to take sick days So you got to schedule your vacation the moment I feel overloaded again. It's a hard stop I just stopped doing anything that is not, you know, endangering my my life my family life and paying my bills So anything that's extra I just stop it because it's not worth it I need to be healthy. I need to be able to function So then I decide I'm gonna cut back on the extra things that I'm doing and focus on the main stuff and just relax and recover And at the same time I have a lot of little things that I enjoy that I use and do during the day to just keep me in a good mood And I'm a simple person so I can be in the car right now I'm binging through the Inglorious Trek spurs podcast and my massive Star Trek fan and those episodes are so much fun I listen to a lot of podcasts in the car at work. I listen to music. I listen to podcasts. I listen to movies I don't watch movies because you won't be distracted, but I can listen to movies that I know so I can put on Star Wars I can put on whatever Star Trek I put on Lord of the Rings I put on the Matrix or whatever movie that where I like the sounds and then the voices and there's a lot of stuff that I Can do just keeps me in a certain good mood and and can also maybe distracts me from The potential stress of work or whatever is going on now that being said this is just something that I do This is not a clip where I tell you do this and this is gonna work for you But I just want to answer the questions that I got what what do you do and how do you schedule those things? So that's that that doesn't mean it's gonna work for you It doesn't mean that you have the same opportunities or the same possibilities to do what I do But again, I just wanted to let you all you know, especially those that ask me This is my day I get up really really early in the morning because I want to get everything done in the morning So I have ease of mind in the evening and sometimes if I have more to do I have the time in evening to get that done as well if I would sleep in and then get everything done in the evening I mean, I guess you could offset the hours, but then I would go to bed really really late and I don't want to do that Either I want to have a regular healthy somewhat healthy Sleep schedule where I do sleep six to seven hours. Ideally they say eight hours But I also have a hard get up at seven because my little one gets up at seven So if I go to bed at three four, which again, I don't want to do I have to get up at seven I have to get ready. There's breakfast. It's a little guy and then I sleep only three four hours And that's really unhealthy and I obviously it's dangerous to drive. It's it's really unproductive in terms of work So that is my current schedule quarter to five I get up six on Thursdays and on weekends usually six as well and that's so far Works for me again I get a lot of stuff done in the morning and then evenings and weekends That's the balance that I have to kind of offset the work with just things that I enjoy and right now I'm reading multiple books and of course Star Trek That's one. I just got that's actually really really good. The writing is really great currently also going through Stephen King on writing and there's some other filmmaking and animation books that I want to read because I also wanted the reviews But that's when I also just keep educating myself outside of work But again, you can't just do all of this all the time and not offset this with Relaxation time and just recovery time and not just mentally but also physically with exercises. So that's it I don't know if this was helpful I hope it was at least interesting to watch if you're still here and you watch the whole thing Nuda that really appreciate this and that's it So Comments if you have anything to say about this any suggestions or what is your schedule comments are open as always You can of course like and subscribe. I gotta say this it's YouTube, but that is it for me That was the FNA and I will see you next week	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZn1SDdf29w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

We're gonna hop right into it You need a channel drop a sub and let's get started Someone on patreon also reminded me that my current mind So we know he's like technically adult my just basically is reliving her childhood Dude he looks so badass That's a cool frame That's what I said is like he would have leveled that bad boy I mean from the way trunks was running from him. I'm a guessing that goku black is Strong way stronger than him the soundtracks eerie Wait, what is he not a saiyan? He says that like he isn't Other creatures he's talking about his other people. Is he not human? I'm so curious about this guy god dang dude trunks scream Is he laughing? Oh my god. He is. Oh, no, that's exactly what he wanted Oh shoot My god, not my boy. They have goku black kind of just dirty with it the sword the sword take up arms So he's not saying Dog when he's got the power of the sun in the palm of his hand Oh Dang dude, I think he sacrificed the blade. Oh, no, no came back like a boomerang I'm he's trying to distract. He's gonna be gone. He is gone. Oh my god. How's this computer on you better hurry Me trying to escape and breakers and then the entire world on fire Oh, is he sensing? What aura is that? He better just blast past Bro, things are just like a regular little tiny spaceship. This is so bizarre. It sounds it looks exactly like goku He made it Oh, he has no idea. I know he didn't realize it was a time machine But he's not gonna sense him at all. I guess I think he's going to timeline. We know again Now literally everyone's gone in the future. He still had some people around them anymore Sacrifices bought me this one-way trip. Mm-hmm. We're gonna have a lot to figure out though Like why there is a goku black why he's destroying everything why he's not seemingly a sand Pymdoss 4 50 5 50 Yeah, dude, yeah, there's mine. Okay in this timeline My head, baby. I'm terrible at mental math too. I'm proud of myself. There's no way I was just tricked into washing this advertisement Teacher lady the little dog is so cute. Oh the little heart that popped up Dude, this is way too like meta for what we know just happened, bro. Brother just watched her perish No goku black is the lady killer literally. Oh wait, is he gonna land like right here? Oh shoot, they're gonna know exactly what it is too. Well, not, you know trunks probably it's ham It's himself as soon as someone who actually dealt with cell and all of that is gonna know exactly what's happening as soon as they see the ship Capsule No for real A young pop. Oh shoot. She's schmoovin Yep, just luck mama She's like, oh no, because she knows he wouldn't come back just for funsies God, thanks. She really moves on that thing Do you guys not see the the resemblance blue hair is in common? Oh my what if that'd be a comp there would be any complications with future trunks interacting with current trunks I'm but this is a Glock. What is she looking for? Oh radar. Oh, it's the weasphone. Meanwhile, it's kind of cool how they have friends that are like insanely powerful Like aliens now. Are the aliens? Like, I don't know. I feel very reassured having like we surround or Beerus around Hi, Bulma But you just like edges away Weas and Beerus are gonna have no idea what they're talking about. Oh my Go back to earth. They don't stay strapped with senzu beans What's going on here? Buddy's freaking out. Is he like an unpopular take to like trunks as a character more than like goten? I guess it's biased because we've gotten more development with trunks than goten. Here we go Look at the squad pulling up How many does this corn stay strapped with like their little farm? She must be new to the neighborhood Yeah, no for real usually civilians don't even act like that Oh back to black back in black I don't sense his energy at all. So he has one earring It is if if they put on separate ones they would fuse right like they did fighting boo I don't know if that's the same type of earring. It looks like the exact same. All right. It's ready to go What is this for? There is no way I would gladly watch a 10 episode side arc of just corn and yajirobe's adventures Dog dragon balls the abridged really just etched into my mind way too hard that they're a gay couple It's like the my unemployed friend on a Wednesday meme The whole batch. Why don't they pay him ever? Yeah Bye yajirobe There's no way they're trying to figure it out trash Poor kid trunks is just scarred bro. He's like seeing himself dying Oh, that'd be so reassuring for him to like come to consciousness and see bolma Made it guys you're alive. It was all a horrible nightmare. You can do it trunks. Just shake it off Oh, no. Oh, no sleeper agent activated. He's remembering it all this dude has been through literally more than like literally anyone, man He's got to have just like earth shattering ptsd Oh my god, I even think about that. Oh my god We said beer. So like dang this get interesting It's gonna be tough to explain though Oh shoot Oh shoot Color me intrigued like I said the future trunks timeline future turns in general wasn't exactly where I thought we were We're gonna go following the whole like universe six thing but then again What what was I to predict here? But I like whatever a show like just has me guessing on several things and kind of keeps open threat Especially this entire thing with why goku black exists why he's killed everyone Why he looks exactly like goku and like I said now we have wheeze and beeris as part of the picture Which I think could add an even cooler dynamic they've expanded on the cast So now they need to use them as characters or maybe they'll just be like kind of spectators for all this Who knows either way? I think next episode is going to be a big info dump in terms of what's going on and why it's happening And hopefully we can get my poor boy future trunks some uh some revenge to say the least guys That's it for track and ball super that they drop us up if you knew and I'll catch you in the next one Hey space	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZxgMtSkKYM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

So I moved my place and from now on this will be my new Melville fighting lab. In the last couple of days I got several remarks and comments saying something along the lines of you need to ride Melville to become a good weather analyst. Let's check this out. So here's one of those, the only one I got in English actually. It says I would suggest to spend a year or two learning to ride Melville, practice releasing it in the wild, get really good at being a blackhead, build a large resume of exploits and then use that for experience. Just be honest with the interviewer they can hire you or hire someone else to try and stop you. Each other self-motivated go-getters. And the German ones, I will show them in case you know German, but yeah it basically the question is how closely related are Mavarners and Mavic creators. And the second one said I also wrote a trojan in my youth. I pretended to be 12 year old in the chat and it the trojan was not detected by any of the antivirus programs. I binded it with JPEG files and I could have could have extorted people but it wasn't my humor. And I'm proud of that. I want to know that this is advantageous for cyber security. So there are actually several questions. Let's start with the easiest first. That's does HR human resources like to see people who say they have experience riding Melville? That's a clear no from me. Of course I can only speak for the company I work for and for our hiring practices. But I assume that for all antivirus companies at least this is the same. There is this conspiracy theory that antivirus companies only that they ride Melville so they can get better cells. It's like similar to the conspiracy that the pharmacy industry creates illnesses to sell their medications. That's actually just to be clear. It's not true. It's a conspiracy. We don't need to do that simply because there's enough Melville out there without us doing anything. So why would we spend our time with writing something well what we have plenty of. So it doesn't make sense. But just because this myth always comes up and also because the antivirus companies do not want to add fuel to the fire or get a bad reputation they will never hire anyone who openly boasts about having written Melville. So if you are I mean how would people get to know that you hire such people. That is if you have someone in the company who openly talks about it because they are proud of it. And yeah that's exactly a reason not to hire you. It would be a red flag actually. And the other thing that I would as a someone who employs people I would think well they are doing unethical things. They are doing criminal things. Why should I take the risk and hire them and then maybe they do something criminal in my company. So they could let's say use this internal knowledge to do something bad. So no I totally would not do that. So I don't know why people get the idea that this is like beneficial for HR to hear that you did black hat stuff. So it's not. If you did that and you want to turn your path around and become employed in cybersecurity shut up about it. I mean this person who said they wrote Melville as a teenager I told them the same and they said something like you are bigoted to believe that no one in your company has written Melville before. Now there's a huge difference in my opinion between writing Melville without releasing it to the wild. So and just to have some exercise going on and writing Melville and infecting systems with it and being proud of it. The proud aspect is actually killing me. Did we employ people who wrote Melville? Yeah we had a student who wrote a Melville and simultaneously wrote the entitle to it. So he let's say he explored a certain technique to evade antivirus detection and the way but the way this is usually done is you know that you do not write actual malicious code but you can use something like iCar which is an antivirus test file and put that into the final payload so that your creation isn't actually malicious but detected by all antivirus programs so you can test if your evasion technique works so that the payload is not detected. Yeah we had such people we had with an intern like that but that's an entirely different thing. The other question that was asked in here was like along the lines of is this advantageous or are the skills advantageous to become a malvernomist? Can you like this person who said they did this at 12 year old they said something like yeah I would be an awesome malvernomist because I had this experience in the past. Now the things that the skill overlap for writing malware and reversing malware is actually quite small surprisingly small like yeah you know you need to know like maybe types generally how antiviruses detect malware how malware evades antiviruses in general but then as a malware writer you only need to know a few of these things you need to know one language and how to write code in it you actually don't need to know any of the ways to make malware undetected if you just buy a binder packer protector or crypto whatever you can buy that if you don't know anything about it so but I guess if you want to write very good malware you might also get into like Windows internals topics but now imagine what's the ideal skill set of a malware analyst. The ideal malware analyst knows every operating system every compiler and every language because no matter what malware you throw at them they can reverse engineer it and that's a little bit the reality actually because no one will you get all kinds of malware there's no sorting into like you only do the .NET stuff or you only do the C++ malware that doesn't happen in at least not an Aura company like you need to know you need to be able to pick up everything of course no person knows how to read every programming language how to read every assembly code that exists so your main skill set is in being able to pick up things quite fast if you need them so you teach it to yourself you need to know how to learn on a relatively fast pace and that's the challenging part about malware analysis like this is so interdisciplinary you have so many potential things that could be beneficial to know that it's really hard to say like this is the skill set that a malware analyst has because everything could be potentially across your way and be of help to have a skill in that so yeah it's not that simple and if you write malware you you're not automatically someone who can reverse engineer anything that's actually think this through using an example what do you need to know to write ransomware one that's like where you have basic quality standards to it being a not decryptable not decryptable by third parties so if you want to write ransomware you would need to know how to use at least one programming language to write coding and you would need to know the basics of cryptography to use cryptographic functions in a way that they cannot be broken and also you would need to know some basics in psychology how to extort someone effectively so that they pay how do I make them pay how do I make the the likelihood that they pay higher there are certain tricks used like there's put some sense of urgency there's they would try to scare people sometimes ransomware posed as even the FBI and saying if you don't pay us we will put you into jail so they they have some set of trying to appear as an authority like Europol or the FBI and yeah so there are certain certain tricks being used to raise the likelihood that someone pays so these are the skills you need now if you want to analyze ransomware on the other hand what you want to achieve is firstly you will probably want to write detection signatures depending what your goal is and you will probably want to tell the the the customers the the persons who asked you for help hey can I decrypt my files so you would want to know what encryption algorithm was used and is this crackable so that's a an entirely different level of cryptography knowledge that you need there because there's using it is easy but cracking it on the other hand that requires a little bit more than that actually a lot more because the ideal analyst the ideal male analyst knows all of the cryptographic algorithms and can recognize them if he or she sees them in the code yeah of course that does not exist but that's like the skill set that kind that's kind of expected of you and that's really whereas if you just write ransomware one of the algorithms is enough one that's sufficient one that's secure that cannot be cracked whereas you as the mother notice you need to know all of them especially the unsafe ones that you can crack and you need to go into the field of crypt analysis and not only cryptography like knowing how to find weaknesses in the encryption procedures so I think that highlights a bit how useful this knowledge of writing ransomware really is when you are on the other side not that much also you don't need to write ransomware to learn the cryptography part that you need for male analysis you can not do the extortion thing and use cryptography for something good and learn the same and to the question how closely related I'm matter creator matter analyst my answer is not really related because anyone who's a software developer is much much closer when it comes to this skill set than a matter creator no no then a matter analyst to a matter creator so matter creation is nothing else than software development if you think about it it's just software development and everyone who's a software developer could write a matter that wraps it up for the day if you have any questions about my job please ask and I hope I didn't scare you with the matter analysis requirements it's you know that was just an ideal analyst but I think it highlights how interdisciplinary the field actually is so yeah see you next time and thanks for watching	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzfmjBYaTwg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

hits a lot of good at bats a lot of poor pitching here's Aaron Boone on that I mean it's tough to really know my first initial reaction is no but obviously you know it was a struggle for for both sides in the pitching department so you know those will be things I guess they get evaluated a little bit better when you're removed from it but it just felt like a lot of good hitters taking advantage of some mistakes you had to go to Chad Green pretty early I assumed he was your open planned opener for tomorrow yeah how does this affect your bullpen and your pitching going forward it it affects I mean Greeny won't won't open now tomorrow for us so yeah so we'll we'll kind of adjust and that'll be one of the things that we get together on and talk about tonight about how we want to line it up and how we envision it there'd be a possibility of half or anyone stepping in there he could possibly be available I don't necessarily see us going that route but we'll talk about all our options out that we might have Aaron if that was the first baseball game you'd ever seen what would your impression of the sport be you know I actually gave that some thought at a couple points during that game you know looking deep out into the crowd and wondering where they're like wow this is pretty long right and then I thought well cricket takes like all weekend to play right so you know I'm sure a lot of people are used to it and they saw a lot of obviously great hitters do some great things there's some some really really good defensive plays as well and but we should remind them that it's there's not 30 runs every game Aaron is void is that an area of concern for you or was that more sure it's a concern I mean I feel like that the the evaluation of them and everything was was pretty good considering what we what I saw and even when I went out there he said actually I think I'm okay but you know I just the looks of it I felt like especially at that point in the game you know I felt like we needed to get him out of there his physical exams after the game were all good so we'll reevaluate where is that tomorrow is there a chance he plays tomorrow I doubt it at least not starting we'll see how he checks out and everything and if he's a available player what do you think it was happening with Tanaka today I haven't seen any of it back and and frankly from my vantage point where we were in the dugout and the sunlight the way it was it was really kind of difficult to see I was having a hard time picking balls up off the bat you know he wasn't getting a lot of chases you know look like a big mistake to shave us there where you know not a pitch that he probably wants to throw in the strike zone in that spot but otherwise hard for me to get a real good good idea of where he went wrong other than making a handful of mistakes in that inning to some good hitters and did you think the speed of the turf and dirt contributed to this night yeah a little bit you know a little bit it definitely played obviously like a hitters ballpark but you know I think you know we're gonna rush to that just because there are all kinds of runs scored I mean how many plays did the turf come into play I don't know you know maybe that that ball in the first inning that gets by Luke I think it probably got on him a little bit more than he probably anticipated how many balls found holes because of it hard hard to really say you know I think I think two offenses just took advantage of some mistakes tonight anything to do with Luke's foot injury or leg injury dirt turf anything there any say it again I need the turf for the dirt lead to Luke's injury I don't think so no no Aaron I know maybe some of the engagement and excitement was dulled with the length of the game as it went on but what did you think about the atmosphere at the start of the game after intros first pitch and then the way you guys started the first inning awesome special thing to be a part of and you know I talked to a couple guys during that game and I even had a little quick conversation with with CC at some point in the marathon and just like this this is pretty dope this is awesome and and I thought I thought as it got dark and the lights really took over and you could see and obviously a hot night it was it was a really special environment to be a part of	{ "url":

it's focused on Brazil and Jiu Jitsu and how it helps people grow as individuals and it just like it touches a lot of different fields but basically sorry no no so yeah I really liked it I think I'd suggest everyone highly to watch it and I'm sure we'll get we'll get back to it soon enough about the the documentary but also what you just slightly mentioned in the documentary and I know because we both know Francisco de los Cobos uh that he he mentioned that you used to do aikido quite a bit I guess in the past yes yes like 13 years okay plenty really intensive you know yeah right so I guess you we have a similar journey and it wasn't so you touched that a little bit in your in your documentary it wasn't like the whole main subject but but clearly we have a lot in common so so I want to touch both subjects of your transition from like you know to percentage jitsu in your perspective like what made you fall in love with percentage jitsu but as we start like the first thing I wanted to ask you is could you say like a recap like how would you describe your documentary about BJJ okay it's like a personal journey into the BJJ and also I wanted to to do it like I mean everybody knows BJJ now because MMA and because of the pro fighters but there's something special in BJJ that they have more practitioners than followers you know in opposite of MMA so I wanted to approach this perspective like normal people common people you know I really like a lot of that in martial arts the the common common people perspective it's it's it's really big and no one's talking about it you know that's what that's the main thing for me yeah I mean I really go to my perspective there's no there's impossible way to do like like a really final word but I tried to do it yeah yeah I think you you did a great job and I liked it a lot also too I fell in love with percentage jitsu as well and there's I used to notice a lot of things which I like a lot in it like how it would help people develop and change and in the whole aspect of kind of it destroying people's egos and people becoming more humble I just and I spoke about it once in a while in my videos but I never like it was always in the back of my mind but I never really fully like articulated it but then when I watched your documentary so many of the thoughts that and insights I had about was in jitsu like I felt like okay this is great and this is great you really touched all of those so I was like good job man thank you so one one thing which I'm very interested to ask you is uh so we both used to be acuto practitioners we actually did it for a similar amount of time and now you are the percentage is a practitioner I from what I understand you don't practice like you know anymore no okay so I guess you know when somebody asks me that I think I wonder if that's the same that went for your mind where I'm like well I kind of practice like you know in everyday life but not like I keep on the tatani so so there's always this middle answer um but so what do you think because basically I guess directly from wrong but basically you quit aikido and now you're very enthusiastic about percentage jitsu uh well it's quit I mean stopped the akito so what do you feel made you fall in love with percentage jitsu after akito like what what was that thing okay it's very practical answer you know yeah and in aikido I was more fat because you didn't do the same exercise I mean it's really weird because in aikido you do a lot of exercise and and my type of body it's going fat if I don't do exercise you know yeah and when I started jiu-jitsu maybe more at the beginning I I lose a lot of weight you know and also it wasn't like the point of doing jiu-jitsu it's really fun yeah and it it makes me go in you made me real better shape that I have before doing so that's one yeah the other one is that in aikido there's a lot of false proof how do you say it false proof makes that that makes sense yeah and I mean in Mexico I don't know well kind of I I would when I say like you know these days I try to distinguish from Japan versus west but or east versus west but in Europe from what I experienced yeah I'd say the same thing yeah so maybe not not in a main it's more like like some of the characters that goes to do aikido develop that and it should be the opposite you know maybe not the sensei but it's really weird that there are some practitioners people that practice aikido that that the ego goes if you don't control it the ego goes like math you know I mean it happened to me that's why I kind of know that feeling that maybe you can move things with your mind yeah and I'm exaggerating but sure yeah but I know but but when you are practicing aikido there's there's something like you think that you could defeat and maybe really child's thoughts but you think that you could defeat a guy on the street and I don't know since I was since I in BJJ I don't want to fight in the street anymore it's not my need I don't think about that and it's really it's really different but I miss aikido a lot really sometimes I surprise myself dreaming about a class of aikido and I would go I have to go back to the door I don't because I don't have time now but it's it's a really nice subject to talk about and recently I I give a class of aikido and BJJ together I call some some friends from from aikido call me and I wanted to teach like a mixed class class and it was really nice you know because I really what I really miss about aikido is a class when no one is talking and going going back to that it was really nice so that was like how your aikido classes would be because I experienced both some would be very strict about not speaking some would be just criticizing each other all the time you're telling each other how you're doing the technique wrong I hate that I used to hate that but so you were in a in a school which was very silent right yeah and I really like that nice because good yeah good gives you gives you another kind of language you know I think that they do it because of that because you don't have to think the techniques you have to see the techniques and and then put it on your body on your body movements and if they speak you have to think I think that they do it because of that and I really miss that yeah it's just out of curiosity let's say hypothetically if we would put that same aspect into Brazilian jutsu no talking do you think you like that or what do you think like what's your gut feeling and I think they they won't like this what about yourself personally that's a difficult because I think that activity belongs to aikido you know mm-hmm if you change it you will have to see but I think they won't like it because the jutsu is really free you know what made me fall in love is that I was in a class the sensei was teaching a technique and it was interrupted but for a minute for some student and they said oh yeah it's better in the student way you know and that's that's never gonna happen you're right yeah well um yeah I agree with you and it's you made me remember something it's it's something I'm planning to make a video about I haven't yet at least the time of us talking I was contacted by a person who's training aikido in Japan for the past like 20 or 15 years or so he didn't want to go on record although I was asking to do the him to do that but off record we spoke about the difference between aikido can you hear me well by the way is that you sound okay so yeah we spoke about the difference between aikido in japan versus the west and he convinced me I had that feeling that it may be already different but he convinced me like yeah it's it's true and sorry that the senseis are very humble but that's also you know that's that's part of the culture I think that's that's where that's the culture where aikido works because the people there tend to be humble already and then you have those senses which are super humble they don't talk about you know the depths of the universe they actually they present themselves as you know I don't have a clue you know I've been doing aikido only for 50 years so and and everybody and the other thing is everybody does it in silence and that gentleman that I was talking to he mentioned about uh some people who who are struggling with like PTSD you know PTSD right so so yeah and then they would find that practice to be very healing they they like it a lot and I think that like as you described aikido has that kind of a clean aspect very precise very clean like if you would add resistance and that's that's a common subject we have with various people but if you would have add resistance like you know it would already become very different but but the way it's structured right now there's that ability to be very clean very precise there's a clear beginning clear ending everything's very clear and then the dojos tend to be very clean and and if you add that aspect of silence I can see the appeal of it I can see like why various people would would like it and it's kind of it would it does make it different from Brazilian jiu-jitsu it's just like it's not like better worse it's just different and I see how aikido can deliver that uh but I think for me probably the one of the things which are is keeping me back from aikido is something you already brought up is the ego which I experienced a lot of that myself and I hate that till today so so actually that's even like on my list uh it's one of the questions so you spoke in the document yeah you want to jump in yeah sure I just remember just it's just that belongs to the other subject yeah sure I just remember that here in Mexico there's I haven't went to his classes but there's a sensei of VJJ that teaches judo and and Japanese jiu-jitsu and the the classes the classes they they are like in silence you know and it's VJJ but the thing is that they don't win yeah yeah yeah do you get so I think that that jiu-jitsu has to be speed and everybody talking so okay let's go I just want to tell that yeah sure no yeah yeah I appreciate you saying that and it's kind of also makes me expand on that as well and one of the things which so you probably know that recently I'm on the one of the processes I'm on is I call it rediscovering Aikido which is I'm looking back at Aikido and asking myself so what's what are the good sides of it because I was so I was so vocal about the bad aspects of it that I feel okay we need it's time to balance it a little bit and in that process in that journey I spoke with some people and one of the individuals Christopher Hine I spoke with him and I liked a lot what he said he's actually a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt as well as Aikido black belt I think he's a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu definitely like capable and he said I will rephrase what he said or the way I understood it but basically what I an idea got from him is that one of the troubles with Aikido is that it almost tries to be too many things sometimes and you know it's it's what he does and I actually feel quite inspired about what his approach it's like he has a beginning and an end he describes what Aikido is and what Aikido is not and there's a point where he says Aikido doesn't work anymore now it's time to do jiu-jitsu boxing etc and I loved it and I realized you know like if you take Brazilian jiu-jitsu it's they don't add strikes mostly no no they don't add kicks it's like it's on the ground jiu-jitsu is jiu-jitsu it's awesome it's effective it's lovely but they don't try to be anything else from what they are Aikido sometimes I feel it tries to be like so many things and then ends up being almost nothing so it seems like you agree with me right yeah totally in fact I wanted to tell you that in in a different different words you know if you think a philosopher and a physics you know if you put it I think the the physical the physics is the jiu-jitsu and the philosopher is the Aikido so and Aikido tries to be everything not not just not just in defending yourself even spiritual things and it's like everything like you said and it doesn't have something of reality but that doesn't mean that it it's have to stop I think it should go wrong it's I mean here in Mexico they they still teach you philosophy and philosophy is it doesn't work like same like biology no but in a way it's still it's still there it you don't have to it's don't have to be the end of Aikido I think that's if you put it in an American way of thinking don't get me wrong I'm not anti-american I wouldn't blame if you would be no I'm not I'm I couldn't because of all of my culture is like really American but if you put it in the how do you say the win philosophy that you have to win all the time Aikido won't leave there so and I also think you have to think the time when Aikido was created it was a time that Japan was on the end of the American occupation so the martial arts were forbidden because they nobody wants to to teach the the way of fighting you know but because before that before that era martial arts in Japan was like MMA you know you go to another dojo and they fight like maybe maybe worse than MMA so Aikido was created in a cultural time that that kind of fighting was forbidden so if you think about it the martial art that survived was Aikido and judo and judo is if you take a lot of rules is is more like a BJJ you know so there is this two aspect of fighting and to and to see martial arts so I won't criticize Aikido because of the time that was created and the needs that in that time have to fill for Japan you know well if I would ask you so what drew you initially Taikido yourself like what do you feel got you caught on to because clearly you were caught by it like you enjoyed it because doing it for more than a decade intensively there must have been something there so what what what initially drove you to go there? It's not a joke or because it can be like some people that's the reality you know Yes I noticed because of him but I was practicing Kung Fu at that time Any particular style or just Kung Fu in general? I don't remember the step because I I just did it for one year before before that I did character for like 10 years so I was I was on a trip surfing trip and I met I was traveling with with a friend that was from Germany and he started telling me about Aikido and he was really good in the board because of the he says because of the Aikido because also in his hometown they didn't they didn't have sea waves you know and he practiced Aikido and told me that helps him to the balance so when I came back to Mexico City I said I don't have sea here so I went to a class and when I saw the class I was amazed about it I I saw people flying and all the technique and all the aspect of of their culture I don't know I was falling in love and I started and I leave it until six years ago. So what do you think kept you in it like would you be able to articulate it do you think or? The practice itself in in that time of my life makes me like emotional balance I think I know I know that people practice martial arts martial arts because they want to defend themselves on the street you know I know that Francisco is really focused on that yeah but if you think that how many times have you caught in a fight on the street you? Yes a handful but not like that many and I definitely see your point so yeah not many no yeah sure yeah but how many times have you have been practicing Aikido and you feels it makes you change your mindset of your daily life you know and I think that's really important and that's really important to me not the others aspect maybe because I'm crazy and I need that you know I don't know why but yeah well that gives me that yeah well that still naturally makes me ask so you still eventually leave Aikido to a degree so was there a specific reason why you stopped or what happened? it really the thing that makes me stop it's really Aikido itself because I went to New York as a Nushi deshi Yamada's dojo Yamada's dojo and I practice with really tough guys you know like Mike Jones I remember it was like fighting really fighting I don't remember the name of this other guy and I don't know if he's an Asian he practiced Aikido like he really is really tough and I was there like three months hmm in a separate of the different times total three months but every time that that I came back to Mexico and I started practicing in my dojo it was like what is this you know I was really boring and and the the Aikido really changed and I really missed that feeling so I went to to a BJJ class and I went and I said let's see if I can do something technique you know but they kick my ass like I can do I make that tap you say yeah I can yeah I tap a guy with a Nikio I remember and they they asked me no what's that and I told them how to do it but but they kicked kick my ass and at the beginning I started doing a lot of techniques of Aikido because that was that was what I knew then I stopped let me say I have to learn how to do and I stopped doing technique with wrist locks yeah wrist lock but but recently before the pandemic I started to do Aikido techniques again and it's it's really good there are some techniques depending what you like but I do a lot of sankyo really likes likes me to do sankyo in BJJ well you did speak about the ego and like that's like one of the key subjects as far as I could see in your documentary and then in the beginning of our talk you started off by saying that there was a lot of ego that you experienced in Aikido the funny part is and that's what baffled me and confused me for a while was that it's officially like the Aikido goal usually is said like Masagatsu Gatsu no true victory or victory over yourself it's all about destroying the ego but then you would see people who are full of themselves and I think it's sometimes people speak about that in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu about the ego and like leave your ego on as you enter the doors they don't like that but but it's not like it's less talk and more practice but the practice gets the job done so so how did that seem to you like like how did that contrast did you think about that contrast of ego in Aikido and ego in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Yes it's like you say in in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu they they didn't they don't speak about it they just I mean I think that there are some people that that never think about that you know that I came here to lose my ego they just feel yeah it's not in their minds and in Aikido we speak about it but sometimes you don't feel it really feel it you know the I think the practice in Aikido had to be really intense to to to make you go there when I practice with Francisco we used to practice really hard and really fast you could do it in Aikido if you you go really you you go to a mindset that you lost your ego it's possible but it has to has a lot of physical aspect and and also like a waiting to do it you know but I think it's possible. So what what do you personally because I definitely have my own answers as well but I'm curious about your perspective so why do you personally think that the ego does come across in Aikido from time to time and not as much I'm not saying that also to put it on record I'm not saying that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is sacred and there's no shit there it also depends on the school and depends on the organization and the friends of the person but still like the general tendency I've met I also met some great people in Aikido like Humble and and nice but but there's usually there would be something off about some of the Aikido practitioners and the ego was not rare in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I practiced and the places I went to ego was much more rare like like the goal of Aikido seems to be much more accomplished there of people being humble especially like high grading black belts I guess also too I don't know maybe I'm lucky maybe I went to the right organizations but I just met some really really nice people who could who could kill me like like there's a funny story I lived in in Portland Oregon at a place I was renting a room at a place of a high level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu expert and so I would be lying there in the bed and I would sometimes think that guy you know my my roommate or whatever like you know the guy who owns the house he could come to my room decide to kill me and probably do it very efficiently in the matter of seconds and I could do I couldn't do shit about it you know he would kill me but he's one of the nicest people I know like I love him he's amazing and and he you know he never boasts about himself he's he's incredible but he's a he's a legit killer so so that contrast is interesting but yeah to come back to the main point generally I noticed much much less ego in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but so what's your personal opinion why do you think that a big ego is not uncommon for Aikido? I think because of the you know the hierarchy and also because you don't really go to beast mode in Jiu Jitsu you go to beast mode you know it's like you become become like an animal sometimes and I mean Aikido that doesn't happen and you are always like thinking and comparing yourself to the other guy and it's like you said it's not a rule you know there there's bullshit everywhere everywhere but the practice itself it goes I don't know in Aikido there's more more room to the ego to the ego so you come across a lot of times too this guy that tells me no no no you are wrong and stop the practice I mean and why they do that and it's really weird because sometimes that happened in in Jiu Jitsu you are wrestling and and the guy stop why do you stop me it it really makes me mad that they stop to explain you what you're doing wrong that's not good if you're going to what it happens sometimes okay yes I have lived that sometimes when I mean when you're really beginning you know they stop fighting and they tell you no no no you have to do these and do that no no if you're going to kick my ass just kick it that's the best way to learn you know sure sure sure and when you tap I think that some something in your brain liberate all your frustration frustrations and and that's that's that doesn't happen in Aikido yeah I mean you tap you know but but you tap because you have to tap not not not because the other guy is really winning yeah yeah I don't know what you think yeah absolutely and I'll actually elaborate as well from what you're seeing it's something I considered like as I guess most people know I I spent a lot of time asking myself so what creates the problems in Aikido or what's the downside to Aikido and one of the things I considered I don't have a final answer for this but but one of the thoughts I have is because like you know stoicism the the type of philosophy yeah so it kind of presents itself in a very stoic stoicistic way like you know it's like stone faced and everyone is calm and and so on but and I think there's something admirable about that but also that's not how we really live that's not how we really function and I think probably that with that subject was kind of covered in your documentary as well there's one guy who said you know the way you train and the way you you deal with problems on on the Brazilian jiu-jitsu mat that's how you deal with problems in life I noticed there's definitely a tendency because but also because rolling on the mat generally can be very messy like you know it's chaotic and and it just your adrenaline kicks in and and you're uncomfortable and and that's so much more akin to what we experience in life you know when when shit goes down it's like I like I like to say that it's easy to be good when everything is going well and and that's a bit like that's a bit more like Aikido you know everything is like clean and and precise and and and you get you get used to being you know calm and confident in that realm but then shit hits the fan and you're like wait there's so much pressure I'm not really used to being my Aikido self in this situation and there's almost like a sense that I wish that in Aikido sometimes they would give you that chaotic situation and then you would have to work your way to being a stoic guy versus what sometimes I would see unfortunately I'm not saying everywhere but again unfortunately I would see in Aikido is something that one writer described in a book about yoga that yoga has a similar problem you know everyone is peaceful and nice and the thing is he called them pirate ships with white sails or a white flag because internally they could be messed up those those yogis and I met those people you know they're they're actually not really nice but they know how to act nice but once they would be hit with pressure once they would have a difficult life situation sometimes really nasty stuff would come out from them because they're not used to functioning they're not used to being calm in those situations so I think that that kind of feels like but that's one of the challenges that Aikido sometimes is facing so do you think that as well yeah yeah yeah I don't like to to say that these are the rules you know because like you say it's really we cannot be objective in these subjects sure but jujitsu has this more parallel parallel things with with the way that we live in like you say it before and Aikido doesn't and maybe if we were in Japan you know other time and if we were Japanese people it worked like a different way but also like you said Aikido in the United States and in Japan it's really different it goes to I think it's like octopus you know wraps part of the culture of the aspect of the United States and maybe there are not good things like some dojos are are always thinking of winning but winning what you know sure I mean Aikido yeah sure and also I kind of feel that when I went to Yamada sensei there is this thing like be the perfect ushideshi and it was really weird because you cannot put the Aikido on on the winning cultural thing it doesn't make any sense but also like you said Aikido in Japan it's different they they don't speak they they have ranks but they see it see it on another way you know in that in that subject it's like the belts the belts the color belts in Japan they were created for kids and and when the martial arts went to other parts it's like in the way of the ranking but the ranking didn't exist in judo they just practiced yeah um couple just just a couple more questions that I have on my list and one of them is uh I was curious to ask about at the beginning of the documentary that you made I really liked a place where you where is and correct me if I'm wrong but I the way I understood it you were editing a video for this kind of religious cult thing commercial and you mentioned that you're conflicted about doing that and I I felt like I could really like resonate with you like I I see what you mean I see where you're coming from I don't think I was kind of expecting that at the end of the movie you'll be like so eventually I decided to do this but I don't think you you you did that so so can you tell a little bit more so how did that I I didn't understand really so so you know in the beginning what I refer to like that yes yes yes and I was thinking I was expecting also to be fair I might have missed something I skipped a little bit of the the documentary but I think I was expecting that at the end of the documentary you will say how the story ended with that commercial but I don't think you did so so what what did I did it in a way you know yeah I because at the end of my documentary I say fuck I'm doing like a big big commercial about jujitsu ah okay yeah do you remember that no yeah yeah I think I think that's that's I want I really wanted to relate it with that you know yeah I was making uh I think that stuff but you it's like it's like you never get rid of that you know is that kind of thinking that you never you never get rid of the of the clubs clubs now I'm on a different club that is jujitsu but also have the also have shit sometimes that's what it's also make you think that jujitsu is better and maybe it's not you know so in a way it was related to that and I want to I wanted to add that you you have to struggle all the time with these things that hey jujitsu is better than you know and maybe something MMA is better than jujitsu and having a gun is better than being an MMA guy and it goes it goes yeah yeah it makes sense what you're saying I think the phrase you used and I liked that a lot I think you mentioned like not word-to-word but basically we're saying like I realized that what I'm saying or what's presented in this documentary sounds like a self-help book bought in a like in the shelf and in a whatever like what is what is that like a pharmacy store yeah and so I think yeah yeah that makes sense and so it did kind of make a full circle but I also like what you added is that it's still it still works like it's there is truth to it to what you presented and I think to me what it makes me think about is recently on my new channel I explored a little bit about uh cult mentality like what cults are and how they work and and uh one of the things I realized while exploring that is that cult is not necessarily bad because many people say when they say a cult they mean they already mean like it's they already say it in a pejorative way meaning like it's it's bad but a cult is like like the I am inspired by a guy who's like a cult expert uh and he says that there's like a mac you know like uh apple cult people who love macbooks and they're obsessed about it and obsessed about iPhones and there's bad things to it but it's not like it's not like entirely bad it's like it's their thing you know do your thing it's fine but they're also cults which trick you to get money from you and do other terrible shit so so cult is not necessarily bad and and you know even even if you don't want it you you are in a cult you know right no way right so it's like a human condition right and I think we like to be together and think that we are better yeah yeah and I think one thing which stands out for me and I think it's similar to what you presented as well is that being in a cult is not the problem the problem is is what influence the cult has on us like like how constructive or destructive it it is and and for me personally and I'm not saying that that the same experience has to be everywhere but eventually after about 15 years of being in the world of like you know I got a lot of good things but also but but percentage wise I think I got more bad things than good things eventually like there's a lot of that really uh me yes but that's me personally um I just want to know sure yeah yeah no I can answer um I think that a lot of that is connected with my own personal journey and the context and the people I was hanging out with my Aikido instructor was very spiritual but in a bad way eventually I think he he wasn't a very good spiritual teacher so that turned me turned me down turning off also I came into Aikido expecting and needing it to be efficient as a self-defense practice why because I was growing up in a violent city like I I did get attacked and my friends got attacked not like you know every day but but I was threatened and and there were a couple of cases where I was attacked and I couldn't use Aikido and my instructor at the day which wasn't a very good guy either uh he he blamed me you know that it's my fault that I don't train enough and I kind of got the same uh later on with my next instructor in a different way but but basically I think I the people I was hanging out with there's and also my context what I was searching for and like you know what I got and also how how devoted I was and and it's also I agree it's partly my problem because I I was so devoted to it I didn't critically choose what works for me and what doesn't I was you know kind of like a like a horse with blinders so I think that's that's one of the main reasons why I had uh eventually a bad experience with Aikido like like there's a lot of bad things which are more on the top of my mind than the good things that I got so but that's my personal story you know not everyone is like that so yeah and that's why you you changed to be to a big degree yes and also also another aspect which added to that was because I was questioning Aikido online on youtube and I got frustrated that so many Aikido people hated me for that you know they didn't embrace that and I think that pushed me even further to be like I don't want to be a part of this culture which hates people who are openly questioning it so but you know that's my story that's that's my I'm not saying that everyone is no but I really understand you because it's it's really weird that the the the people that really criticize Aikido are the same that are practicing I think the other martial arts they don't carry maybe sometimes like Joe Rogan or this kind of thing on the web or it's I got you what you mean you know hmm and when you practice BJJ do you feel safe on the street uh well to be fair I also trained mixed martial arts but not not only mixed martial arts but also I went through studying self-defense like pure on self-defense theory and practice so so that helps as well in regards to understand you know I I'm aware of what's happening around and I avoid potentially dangerous situations and I have ideas how to de-escalate things so that help gives me confidence but also to knowing that I I can fight off a person who knows how to fight and I can choke out a person who knows how to grapple to some degree that that definitely gives confidence you know because beforehand but I did only Aikido I didn't know if somebody will attack me deep inside I knew that I don't know whether I will be able to do anything and now when I when I'm used to fighting with guys who are professional fighters it's not the same you know the street is different there's weapons and there's random attacks multiple attackers but still that gives confidence because I know that I can handle a fighter it gives me confidence that I'll fare better with a person who has no clue how to fight so yeah what about yourself if I feel safe with Yujitsu but also I I always want I have to look to all the time where I'm going I mean Mexico City it's dangerous and now I have a child you know a child yeah so it's really weird if I'm if I'm going to a neighborhood that it's really dangerous I go with with knife yeah and I feel safe with sure sure yeah I I think people who never experienced violence and people who live in places where violence is more common they have a different relationship with that and I think every smart person realizes that it's much more than just fighting guys off because like you know you know Bruno Roscoe no he's a he's a fairly well-known Aikido slash like legit self-defense expert and he he's he lives in Mexico City and I was talking to him once I know that guy yeah bold guy tough looking so so yeah so he said to me you know if you if you get in the way of let's say a cartel no Aikido is gonna help you know you're screwed no Aikido no Jujitsu right exactly no more sorry it is gonna save you and and and I think some people don't understand that they still live in that fantasy of martial arts movies where Steven Seagal takes down the whole mafia and you know and shit like that it's like no if you're if you get into trouble with organized crime you're done but the thing is true self-defense is making sure you don't get in their way you don't go to places where it's dangerous at times when it's dangerous and that's self-defense but if I'm like if I think I'm the best fighter in the world and that gives and then I think that I can go to any dangerous area and I don't give a fuck that's that's stupid you know that's not self-defense I think common sense is the best means to self-defense to begin with yeah so there's the very last part on my list a subject is a part I liked a lot and I guess it's a two-parter so the first part is you mentioned that short story of yourself which I personally loved of you cutting off your sleeves of your gif putting on a cobra kai patch I loved it but but you mentioned that that wasn't really accepted in the dojo and in the Aikido dojo which I understand you know it makes sense but how was it for you was that was that a big kind of upset for you or or you didn't take it too too difficult to take it was like a joke okay it was just like a joke you know but if I show you my my gear of jujitsu it has a cobra kai kai patch so it's something that I grew up with and they should allowed it maybe not the cuts limbs yeah yeah but if you want that patch that that makes the gear like more near to your heart you know yeah I think that Aikido in some things has they have to change right maybe not in Japan but here in America they have to change yeah like those kind of thinking like make it more practical and it's it's really a big subject I know but I think there's there's some competitive Aikido I saw a video and it was like judo it was saying it was really similar to judo it's just that they have kote gaeshi but if if Aikido will go to that way it would became like really similar to judo I think could be yeah well having said all of that I personally like that that whole segment about Goku and the fictional characters I think I I kind of thought about it before but you really made a good point that in Brazilian jitsu that's embraced and and I think that's that's that's a brilliant point and that that's what makes it even more kind of intriguing for people or or if you live in better with being presented to because so many of us like I I'm I guarantee that like at least 50 percent of Aikido are geeks and nerds yes of course right and to kind of deny that part from them to not allow themselves to express that way and to blend those two together that's it's kind of taking away a really powerful aspect of it so yes even if you talk about that in like a commercial way yeah if they embrace that it will be they will have more people or or maybe not more but more happy people you know right yeah because like you said those those things are things that belongs to you since you are a child so if you want to to put I mean if you want to put a Batman mask mask and train if you want to they should allow that maybe if you do it in jiu-jitsu they would choke it with that but but they won't say you know they they will leave you to use the mask and they then we they will choke yourself with the mask but yeah you want to put a wrestler mask and train they should allow it yeah I agree and I don't think for me the the last part to this question is so Francisco mentioned that to me that you you also like Batman as you might know I'm a big fan of Batman also Goku and so many other things but just that whole subject you explored it in your documentary so I presume you thought about that yourself it's a big subject for me that fictional characters the influence fictional characters can have on us you know that I feel like Batman is not real but it had a very real impact on my life on my personal philosophy values and the same can be said about no spider-man or Goku etc etc so so have you explored the subject how fictional characters actually are important in our lives and if yes then what's what's the list what's the top list for you I think in this subject there's a positive part and also a negative part you know because I think that there's a negative way in this subject because if you want to to revel revel can you explain what I mean if you want to let me think I could guess but I'm not entirely sure what what word are you looking for if you are in a society and you want to become like a leader or or if you're in a tough situation and you want to improve that yeah the cultural aspect that everything everyone has if is that you just can be better if you are have superpowers or if you have a lot of money you know you know what I mean it's really difficult to explain this no I think I see your point uh you know I'm a big fan of this idea so I guess yeah I mean you know that then has gadgets which don't exist and in reality he would probably die very quickly but but still what I like is that there's been in his mythology he trains his ass off which I think is a nice point but I agree with you if you take the whole narrative of superpowers and being special from birth etc that's not a very good message so if you really think about this subject these characters are our gods now because we don't think I mean you think in the gods but not like before now is something like it's everywhere and I would like to speak there it burns your your conflicts now if you see a Batman film or if you are reading a comic you put your problems there and you burn it there you know but in reality it's not like that so I think that's the negative way right then the positive way is also that that you can burn your frustrations there and and don't think about yourself but but the characters are always changing I mean now I really love Rick and Morty you know yeah and they are not heroes they are like sick people you know like all of us I guess that's yeah and then that's more reality yeah yeah yeah but having these characters fictional characters sometimes helps you sometimes it doesn't I think it has a both size yeah I don't know if that was your question yeah no entirely I think yeah it really depends on how you look at it and I think you said you you articulated your your point well enough but the only thing which comes to my mind is I think one of the theories I have is that the reason superhero movies are so big these days you know both Marvel and DC it's such a huge industry but that's because and that's only my personal theory but that people want to be the hero of their story they want to make a difference they want to be significant and because most people are not they don't feel that way in their lives they feel powerless they try to kind of satisfy that hunger that feeling by watching those movies by feeling like a part of that story and I think it's great I think it's awesome and hopefully some of those people are inspired to change at least a little bit to do at least summing a little bit in their lives but at the same time I think too many people just go to the movie see the movie get back and they go back right back to the same place they were before so I wish but I think it's has both sides of the coin you know yeah because you know the the life of everybody everybody knows what happened to Batman but not everybody knows who is Pancho Villa or who is Che Guevara you know right yeah so that's what I think that it has both sides of the coin yeah yeah I guess it's everything but in the end for me is I guess I stick with the idea that as long as people are capable of taking good things from it like I made a video about me overtraining because of Dragon Bozy that was not very good for me like I still have you know knee problems and this and that because of that so it inspired me to train but it didn't tell me about correct training so I guess it depends on what you take from it yeah yeah yeah I might agree but then very last point then something I mentioned but we didn't get into so top free characters you choose that influenced you most of course Dragon Ball yeah Batman three three right yeah give me one more I don't know what comes to just I still I still seeing cartoons you know when I have time but maybe Ninja Turtles okay yeah nice cool yeah cool cool I'm a I'm a big Batman nerd and a good one of my best friends is a Ninja Turtles fan so so you're your combination of us both but cool well I still reading comics yeah me too not not as much as I used to but for sure and and these these days I do you know Attack on Titan shingeki no kitchen I just watched it for the second time because my girlfriend hasn't seen it and I enjoyed it so much I was like oh you know maybe you should I should show you this anime but actually like the truth was I wanted to watch it for the second time obviously it was nice for me to show it to her but I was like yeah it was so good I love it anyway well good so for the very end well actually I have some ideas after we finish on record I'll ask you something about the video off record but just in case so I'll leave the link in the video here to your documentary okay and if anybody you know it's definitely worth watching it and if is there is there anything else like like your Vimeo channel or something if people want to learn more about you and your work where should they go I just threw up my facebook page because I don't have much time now because I'm a father yeah but I will send you the link of my instagram so I'll put that in as well	{ "url":

Hey, we're back real live. I'm Jay Fidel here on Hawai'i, the state of clean energy with my co-host and the co-chair of the Hawai'i Energy Policy Forum, that's Sharon Moriwaki. Aloha. Hi, Sharon. Hi, Jay. And our special guest who is here from the mainland from Portland, and he came here to participate in the conference yesterday, the Hawai'i Clean Energy Day, what, what, what? Gapways to clean transportation. Clean transportation day. And he talked about integrating energy and transportation very important. OK, we're going to get to that in some detail. Craig Dirksen, thank you for coming down, Craig. My pleasure, Judy. Thanks for having me on the show. Craig is a counselor in the Oregon Metro Organization, and that means the guys who planned the Metro Organization in Portland, which is a really win, win, win kind of a rig. Terrific thing called MAX, and it gets you all around town economically. Yeah, well, why don't you tell us about yourself? Include the part where you were mayor of Tigard. OK. I'm a resident of the Portland metropolitan area, which is actually 24 cities, including the city of Portland, but 23 others as well. I actually lived in the city of Tigard. Lived there since 1977. And I was the mayor there for nine years when I was term limited and couldn't be mayor any longer. So I decided to run for the Metro Council. The Metro Council is the regional government that has responsibility for land use and transportation planning, as well as some other things, like running the zoo and the convention center. Oh, so this is much broader than just the train, the transit in Portland. Absolutely. In fact, we don't actually do transit. Trimet is the organization in the Portland Metro area that does transit, but we are responsible for funneling federal funding because we're the metropolitan planning organization for the Portland Metro area. So we work in very close partnership with Trimet and the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Portland Transportation Bureau to fund transportation projects all across the region. This is like our Oahu Metropolitan OMPO. OMPO, yeah, planning organization. But it's much broader than what Ongo does. Because we are the only MPO in the United States where the members of the board are actually directly elected by the people instead of being appointed to that position by someone else. I think it is. And it also gives us because we're accountable directly to the people. And being an elected body, it allows us to have our own taxing district so we can raise money to do things. Oh, it's important. So we have some authority there. Most MPOs, all they are is funnels for funding coming through from the federal government. So you've been there for a long time. Well, I've been in elected office now since 2000. OK, see, that goes back. I've been on the Metro Council for five years. I've just been my first year of my second term on Metro Council. So you can come and speak to us about transit in Portland. I can. Yeah, that's the important thing. And he did. He did. So now, Sharon, from your side of it, Hawaii Energy Policy Forum, why did you bring Craig in? We looked around for somebody like Craig because it's not just about transit. It's about transportation and energy. And we are coming from the energy perspective. And transportation has always had its own problems and challenges. So it's been focused on roads and not really. And the planning is where the roads go and not something bigger and seeing the big picture. And so we saw that Portland was doing it. Vancouver was doing it. And Portland had that energy sustainability focus to what it was doing. And it was broader in scope than just transit, just a rail. And so we looked around. And we were in touch with the Spark Transportation Institute people. And we said, who can we bring? And they said, we know the person. All fingers pointed to Craig. And pointed to Craig. And we were so pleased that he was available. They're on break now from Metro Council. So it just worked out perfectly. And we're pleased that he was able to come and join us. And he's been open to meeting with everybody. We just came from meeting with some of the representatives at the Capitol on talking about the issues that we had and how Craig's experience has been able. And he was able to answer questions on autonomous cars even beyond rail. That's very valuable to have somebody do idea arbitrage between Portland, which is a special place, a successful place in transit to Hawaii. So you were there yesterday. You spent the whole day. I saw you. I know. I got witnesses. How was it for you? What did you think of that conference? Well, I loved being there and being part of it and being able to share what we're doing in Portland. But it was great hearing what's going on here in Hawaii too. And then going beyond that, questions like, where do we go from here? What's the future mean when we're looking at alternative fuels so that we can reduce our dependence on oil, on imported oil? And is that the right thing to be focusing on? I really like that you dug right down into the weeds and say, what are our goals? Let's articulate what the goals are. Once we can agree on that, then we can start talking about what actions we can take to achieve the goals. So not taking anything for granted, looking at all different options, and really figuring out what everybody really means when they talk about what do we do next. So let's go back and talk about Oregon for a little while in Portland. Your experience, I mean, not only your experience, but before your experience, how has transit in Portland evolved and where is it now? Take a few minutes to tell us. Well, I think I can give a good perspective because Metro is not responsible for transit or just for transit. But we're responsible for all the transportation planning for the Portland Metro area. It's very connected, isn't it? Exactly, my mantra has always been that what a region needs, what a metropolitan area needs, is a complete transportation system that includes all the different modes, whether it's roads, transit, bikes, ped, and you need all those things in the right proportion to each other so that everybody has different options and each person's needs can be met for what they need today. And it is achievable. Absolutely. We have the tools and the software, whatever we needed to achieve exactly what you were talking about, and you did that in Portland. Well, I wouldn't say we've done it, but we are doing it. It's not something that you do and are complete. It's a process that you're continually going through. You mean it changes? Absolutely. So if I look at Portland today, even with the success you had, and I look at Portland in five years from now, it'll be different. Portland is growing so fast. We're growing about 1 and 1 half percent a year, and that comes down to, because of the size of our area, we're seeing about 111 people a day moving to Portland, which means 33 families and maybe 50 cars, more that we need to deal with every day. And so figuring out. Real estate prices is probably going up. Portland isn't the most expensive place to live on the West Coast, but our real estate prices are going up faster than anybody else's in the West Coast. We're going to go. We should go now. Yeah. I've lived in the house. I live in now since 1987. And today, I could not afford to buy the house that I live in. That's so in Hawaii, too. That's pretty new. Yeah. I thought that might be a good idea. That's a similar problem, yeah? So tell us the good things that have been established and achieved with Portland Metro. Well, one of the things that we've been able to do, the Portland Metro has certain responsibilities. There are other areas that aren't our responsibility. But because of our position as the entire region, we can act as the convener to bring together all those people. We've got 24 cities in three counties. All those cities have their own mayor and city council. Each county has its county commissioner board. But we are the place where all those folks can come down and sit at one table and hash out these issues, whether it's transportation or housing or homelessness or equity or water or emergency preparedness. We're the place where everybody comes to talk together. OK, big question now, Craig. Is that table, the discussion of that table, is it rational? Big hard no. We need to hear from you about this. It can be contentious. There's no doubt about it. Portland has this reputation, this certain reputation. But it's not like we're all a bunch, we're a monolith, all walking in lockstep. We've got a large urban center. We've got big suburbs around ex-urban areas where people, it's still rural. So a lot of different people with a lot of different opinions on how things ought to be and how things ought to be done. And so no, do we agree all the time? Oh man, that is not the case. But we have a place where we can all sit down and hash it out, and I think that's what makes the difference. Well, what's the magic? As they say, what's the special sesame sauce? Involve people early and often through the process so that when you do come to a conclusion, the advocates and opponents from different areas all feel like they've had a hand in the decision and some ownership of it. That's good advice. I don't know why, but this reminds me of the way David Bissell talks about Kauai. Because Kauai is a smaller island, smaller population. And yet, and a lot of different opinions there, and yet they have achieved a kind of rational discussion, a discussion which actually is moving the needle in. Which is bolded in, it's a co-op. So same kind of idea where you have lots of people, lots of opinions. But they allow those opinions and they deal with those opinions. Well, but I have to really compliment Kauai and the people of Kauai. Because what we heard yesterday is the thing that makes the difference there is the folks are really engaged and they're willing to go and talk. And air, how they feel. And hear how other people feel as well. That's what makes the difference. Being able to have everybody come and be involved to be part of it. Okay, so now we have the special sauce. We have the rational conversation. We have the five years you've been there, but actually longer. What has been the evolution of transit in Metro Portland? Well, of course Portland had a bus system going way back. But we made the decision, we were looking at in the 1970s a greatly expanded freeway network. And there was a lot of pushback against that. And so we made the decision to basically stop building more freeways and instead build a high capacity transit system. So we started building a light rail system in the early 1980s. And we're still building it today. We opened our fifth light rail line last year. Light rail, is that grade? Most of it's at grade. Typically it's a grade, it will rise on a structure to fly over other infrastructure where you don't want to have an intersection, but for the most part it's at grade. And is that, is it electrical? Yes, it's powered by electricity, overhead wires. I always wondered what happens if the rail car moves away from the wires overhead. Well, the track would have to move away. Oh, okay, this is all on a track. There's no wheels involved. That's great, well, there's wheels, but there's steel wheels. No rubber tires involved. You heard that here on Big Big. Wheels can be steel. Does it make a lot of noise with steel wheels, because that's what people are complaining about. Oh, they've got a lot of discussions about wheels. There's a certain amount of noise. I have to say that on the train, if you're comparing the level of service and the quality of service between buses and the train, the train is so quiet, it is smooth, it moves very quickly through traffic. The beauty of the train, of course, is that it's not in traffic. So no matter how congested it is, the time it takes to get from point A to point B takes the same amount of time, whether it's eight o'clock at night or eight o'clock in the morning. That's really important. Traffic is not gonna jam you up. That's right. We're gonna take a short break, Sharon, if it's okay with you. And Craig, when we come back from this break, we'd like to talk about the challenges you have because we have our own challenges, and maybe the way you've dealt with those challenges can help us deal with our challenges. Challenges, Sharon's favorite word. I know. I love challenges. I like to hear how you'll overcome challenges. We'll be right back. Ted Rawson here, folks. You're a host on Where the Drone Leads, our weekly show at noon on Thursdays here on Think Deck. We talk about drones. Anything to do about drones, drones, remotely piloted aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems, whatever you wanna call them, emerging into Hawaii's economy, educational framework, and our public life. We talk about things associated with the use, the misuse, technology, engineering, legislation, with the local experts, as well as people from across the country. Please join us noon on Thursdays and catch the latest on what's taking place in the world of drones that might affect you. We all leave for the day of the big game. Watching at home just doesn't feel the same. Hold on the list is who's gonna drive. Nice to know you're gonna get home alive. Waiting for fun and responsibility. Choose the D.D. Captain of our team. Miss the D.D. For every game day, a signet designated driver. Hey, we're back. We're live with Craig Dirksen. And he's with the Oregon Metro Council. There's a councilor there. And we're talking about what happened, what they did in Portland, which is really a good study for us. A case study, if you will. So I'm speaking for Sharon now when I ask you. My favorite question. There had to be some serious challenges because you're dealing with an interface of technology and government and the public and everybody's expectations. What challenges? Well, we had, let me give you the example of that I experienced with the last light rail line when that hasn't been built yet that was envisioned as part of the system when we first started talking about in the early 80s. The only line that hasn't been built that was envisioned back then is the Southwest Corridor, which unfortunately goes to where I live. And it runs through the Southwest suburbs or will run through the Southwest suburbs of Portland and then through Tigard where I live and then onto an ex-urban area called Tualatin. And there's a lot of anti-rail sediment around the region. What's it based on? Concerns about, well, there's several things. It's too expensive. There are people who call it the crime train. They're concerned about these. Worried about crime on the train. Yeah, people. Crime coming from the center too. But you did have an incident about a month ago, yeah. Yeah, but yes, we did. But it wasn't imported from somewhere else on the train. It was within the neighborhood where the people lived anyway. The studies have shown that crime doesn't travel. People commit crimes in their own neighborhood. I've given people the example. I picture it's 2026 and the light rail line is in place. And it's 11 o'clock on a Friday night and two guys get on the light rail train in Tigard headed for Portland. One of them's carrying a flat screen TV and the other one has a big bag of jewelry. And they're sitting there on the train trying to look nonchalant. This is funny. My point being that a light rail train is a really lousy getaway vehicle. Because everybody knows where you're gonna be for the next 20 minutes. Everybody's got a cell phone too. And of course, but we've got people who say we just wanna drive everywhere. I don't wanna ride transit, quit spending money, quit wasting money on transit and just widen all my roads. Why do I feel that that is similar to what we have here? So the sediment got so great that when we were going through the early planning process there was a small group of citizens in Tigard who managed to actually get a measure on the ballot in Tigard to change the city's charter to oppose light rail unless it was voted on by the people of the city. They felt like the citizens of Tigard should be able to decide whether that the entire corridor got light rail or not. And it passed and became part of the charter of the city. It's not a way to build a railroad. No. Fortunately, in the response to that, we worked on working with the people. We had dozens of public meetings where we shared what the plans were, showed what the different options were, showed what the different consequences would be and the cost would be for the different options to try to improve traffic through the region. Would you say that Craig? Were you just having there? Absolutely, I was part of it from the beginning. And when we started the process of looking at this light rail line, TriMed and Metro, which I was a member of at the time, I was the mayor of Tigard, they came and said, okay, we're gonna do this light rail line and here's where we're gonna draw the line. And I and the other mayors of the other cities that it was gonna go through said, wait a minute, we all have comprehensive plans with development plans for this region and we know where we want development to happen and we know what kind of transportation is gonna be needed to support it. So let's start with our comprehensive plans and then identify where we want the stations to be to serve the communities we want and then you can figure out how to hook those together. So we actually hijacked the system and made them do it backwards and do the land use planning first and then create the transportation plan to support the land use. Sounds right to me. It's become the standard since then. Yeah, good experiment, good result. So as the result of doing all the public outreach, lots of public meetings, allowing people to come in, look at the maps, look at the plans, we'd give the maps and colored markers and say, where do you think the line should go? Which neighborhood should it serve? Where should the stations be? How did you change the charter? You had to go back and change the charter to make this happen. Well, what the charter amendment said that before you could have a vote of the people on the light rail line, we had to show them what it was going to be. So the charter amendment allowed us to go ahead with the planning to that point and then two years later, the Tigard City Council put the measure on the ballot as required by the charter change. Do the citizens of Tigard support this light rail plan? We never had to change the charter. No, no, no. It was operated within the charter. Well, correct. The charter change was to require the vote. And so we had the vote. Two years later had the vote and the people voted yes, we support it because we know what it's going to be. It's a lot of lessons in all of that. But it took a lot of information, providing people with the information that they needed so that they could make at the ballot box their informed decision. Yeah. So how is it now? How does it work? What are the good points and what are the bad points? Well, it's very expensive, as everybody knows. Expensive to the rider or to the city? To the city. Well, yeah, it's expensive to build. But the thing that you need to... Well, we haven't built it yet. It's still just... Oh, it's over the Southwest car. The Southwest corridor is still in the planning process. We anticipate that we'll probably start construction in about 2020. And it'll be open for operation probably in 2025. It's about a 15-mile-long route, not as long as yours, but still longer than the average. But longer than the average. Most light rail lines that are funded by the federal government are only about eight miles long. So both of us are stretching to the limit. Five billion? No, no. We're anticipating somewhere between 2.6 and 3.2. For 15 miles. Yeah, yeah. Well, why am I shaking? Because we're spending a lot more for miles than you're going to know. Well, you've made the choice to elevate a large portion of your line, which adds a lot to the expense. It's less impactful on the existing infrastructure, but the initial construction costs are way higher. The good news about light rail line, as opposed to just improving or increasing bus system, two things. First of all, you put more buses on the road. You're putting them on a road that's already really congested. It just adds to the congestion. And the buses can't move any faster than the congested traffic that it's in there with. You need to add capacity, not just switch capacity from roads. Can you get sufficient capacity at grade? Oh, sure. Because we've had people speak to both sides of that. In other words, right now, there's a thing called option 2A, which you must know about this. It stops at Middle Street, which is on the west side of the city. And then it goes under option 2A. It goes down to grade. It continues to grade into the downtown and termination, as opposed to overhead in all segments of the project. So does at grade work? Do you think at grade would work here? Do you think option 2A would work? I don't have the facts about each of the two options specifically, but almost all of our stuff is at grade. Does it give you sufficient capacity? The capacity isn't the issue. The concern is travel time. It's going to impact travel time because you're going to have to interact with the rest of traffic. You're going to have intersections with signals. But you can do things where you give the transit signal priority before cars, those kinds of things, to mitigate that. And I'm sure that you will do that as well. That's a standard way to deal with it. Well, let's put your colleague, Eric Sunquist, yesterday from the University of Wisconsin, was saying you make an analysis electronically, the GPS, and all that, and you connect the dots. Literally all the dots are connected to find out where the travel time is. And you use a lot of computer database work to do that. And then you can figure out how this organic thing, this organic community, neighborhood, what have you, city will work and how it will work differently with what kind of rail. That's a great way to model it. The cars and the signals and the trains, it becomes the big, huge ballet. Unfortunately, we've got computer programs that are- Ballet. Did you hear that? You heard it on Facebook. Ballet. Beautiful thing. But we have computer programs that can choreograph it so that it works. The other thing that's great about light rail as opposed to just improving bus services is the operating costs, which is an ongoing cost that the state would burden every year. When you build a light rail line, it's very expensive up front to build, but it's one-time money. And once it's done, you have it for a long, long time. And your overall operating costs go way down because our estimation in Portland anyway is that your average light rail travel per passenger only costs about half to two-thirds as much as a bus trip cost. Interesting. Buses are much higher maintenance. They don't last as long. We're still running the light rail cars that we started with 30 years ago. You only have one operator for every 288 passengers instead of an operator for every 40 passengers. You're going to go automated? Because our plan is to go automated. I think no operators. Because your line is almost all elevated, so you've got grade separation from the rest of traffic, I think that's a feasible option to consider. For us, it wouldn't be. You need a public, you need an adult. You need a human operator. Even with that, we still have problems with cars stopping on the tracks. We have people on headphones walking in front of the train. So you need a human brain there to respond to that. Sharon, you probably want to ask Craig about the energy effect of all of this. I do, and Craig can tell us. Because he's told us, but he's looked at the whole picture, and that's what I want Craig to talk about, is energy in transportation, energy efficiency in transportation, and looking at it with the whole sustainability effort that we've done there in Portland, which we haven't integrated that, and a way of, how do you look at that? How might you give us lessons learning how you pull that together? Well, another way to measure energy efficiency is what kind of emissions do you get from your transportation as well? One of the things that have really driven this for us is that the Portland region has been required by the state government of Oregon to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2035 per capita. And the state rule. It's a state law, state requirement. And our study and analysis showed that the best way to achieve that would be to improve our transit. So more people use transit instead of their cars. The transit is either with the light rail, it's electrical. Now, in Oregon, most of our electricity comes from very sustainable sources. We have hydro power, is too bad you guys. Too bad you guys can't import the Columbia River. The Columbia River, right there, yeah. We've got a river that runs right past Portland that's half the size of the Mississippi River, and it's got multiple dams on it that generate thousands and thousands of megawatts all the time, whenever it rains. We get more, yeah. What does it pay for a megawatt? I know this is gonna hurt me. Okay, well, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what I pay as a residential customer. I pay about 6.8 cents per kilowatt hour. Oh my God. I think in here in Hawaii, you guys pay about 33, 34 cents. Depends on where you are, about six cents. Same for us, it depends on where you are, it varies from place to place. So this is really the best source of energy. Use electrical energy for these cars. Right, yeah. And so they're all electrified. All the light rail, the light rail line is all electric. So you never get to the question of fossil fuel because, I mean, assuming people use this, you just use electricity in the cars. All of our buses, the TriMet buses all operate on biodiesel. We have, the TriMet has long-term contracts with a company that manufactures biodiesel. Do you have incentives for electric cars over there? Not very many. The horse says the federal incentive, you purchase an electric car and you get a $7,500. It's a tax rebate. Some people can use that, others can't. You don't really get the money back but you can deduct it off of your taxes. And the state of Oregon just a couple months ago passed a new transportation package and part of the deal was some of the new funding will actually fund a subsidy so you get a rebate from the state if you buy an electric vehicle. So I guess the question, and I know what Sharon's gonna ask you, is whether you have succeeded in getting people out of fossil fuels and into non-fossil fuel? And to what extent? I was gonna say, define success. Have we succeeded in improving it? Absolutely. We are the second highest city in the United States for people riding their bike to work instead of driving their car, despite the fact that our winters are pretty rainy but they still do. And latest statistics I've read that for people who commute into the Portland center city for work, 30% of the people that commute do so by transit, about 5% by bus, about 25% on our light rail system. That shows how well our light rail system, we have over 60 bus lines in the Portland metro area. We have five light rail lines but those five light rail lines carry five times as many people as the 60 bus routes do. You drive? Most of the time, as I said, I'm the only metro counselor that lives in a corridor of the city that does not have a light rail line. That's why you're working on this Southwest Carter project. You want to take rail instead of drive. I sat on the steering committee for the Southwest corridor as the mayor of Tigard when I was in the mayor and now that I'm on the metro council, I co-chair the committee. Nice work. Sharon, it's time for you as a co-host to summarize all of this huge body of knowledge from yesterday, this morning, the legislature, and now. Well, I'm pleased that we were able to get Craig and to hear that Portland, while different, have some similar challenges and we've been able to hear from Craig about what we could do, planning long-term, planning for people, planning so that we have all options and people aren't, you know, the pedestrians aren't taken off the road or the buses or bikers take precedence over cars but looking at a system that is truly multimodal and multi-people oriented and I think that takes us a long way forward if we keep our eye on that price. So thank you, Craig, for sharing with us. My pleasure. Thank you, Craig. One other thing that Portland has in common with Holland Lulu is we also have a volcano within our city limits. Oh, that's right. Well, but it's been dormant for 200 years. All right. Thank you, Craig. Craig Duchess. My pleasure. Thank you very much for having me. Thank you. Thank you. Councilor.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz-7OtgjpeA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm Cliff Lynch, the director of the Coalition for Networked Information. I'll be introducing this session today. You've reached the final session for the first day of the synchronous briefings for the 2021 spring virtual CNI member meeting, and it's great to have you here with us. Just to remind you that we will be having additional synchronous project briefings during various times for this week. And next week, we will do a couple of days of plenary sessions to close out the meeting. The meeting we're relying more heavily on pre recorded project briefings and I just want to remind you that as part of the meeting opening today we did release quite a number of pre recorded project briefings that are available on demand I think you'll find there's a rich assortment of material in there. So please look through that when you have the opportunity. This session is being recorded and the recording will be publicly available subsequent to the meeting. A couple of mechanical things we have got a chat window and please feel free to use that to make comments introduce yourself etc. There is also a Q&A tool at the bottom of your screen. During the presentation, if questions occur to you, please feel free to put those in the Q&A tool, and we will address all the questions at the end after we've been through the presentations. It's also possible during the Q&A to raise your hand and we can turn on your microphone so that you can ask questions by voice if it's a more involved question and you prefer to do that. And I think that's all the mechanical sorts of things I need to say. We have quite a panel today and Heather Steins who is going to be kind of running the panel will introduce everybody in a moment. I just want to first off thank Heather and all of the panelists for putting this session together it's really interesting and a very timely topic. It's a whole issue of social learning, and how that can contribute to things like close reading has become extremely intriguing topic that's opened up in the last year or two. The last hypothesis meeting that happened in person that I was able to attend there, which I guess was 2019. And has gotten so strange since the pandemic. There were a series of fascinating presentations where we had a number of faculty who taught literary analysis writing and things like that, talking about how class annotation is an incredibly powerful tool for enhancing student learning and engagement and you know I guess I sort of see what we're going to hear about today as perhaps the next logical step at taking that to a much broader scale so I'm really delighted that Heather and her colleagues can join us Heather will introduce all the rest of the folks on the panel. And at this point I'll just say thank you for joining us my thanks again to the panelists and I'll shut up go away and turn it over to Heather. Thanks so much Cliff I'm really excited to be here today this is my first CNI meeting. So thanks to Cliff for inviting us to do the project briefing and to Diane for helping us with the behind the scenes logistics. As was mentioned previously we're using a zoom webinar format so I don't believe you guys can see each other, but the secret is the chat box is open to everyone so if you'd like to introduce yourself. Let me explain a little bit about why this session was attractive to you what your interests are in social learning. That way, you can see what others have, have found of interest here, and no, you know really who's out there in the ether. So, the questions at the end. So, first, we're going to hear from Dan whaley. Dan is the founder and CEO for hypothesis where I used to work. Oh I should say I'm Heather stains and I'm currently a independent consultant I've remiss if I didn't say that. Thanks for my hypothesis. Dan is a coder and entrepreneur. He created the first online travel reservation company on the web called get there in 1995. He wrote much of the software launch the business and guided the long term technical and product vision. Get there went public in 1999 and was sold to saber in 2000 with nearly 600 employees, while processing approximately 50% of travel transacted online. Dan currently serves as a director of sauce labs the leading open source functional testing company and get around a peer to peer car sharing company. He's a shuttle worth fellow. After Dan, we will hear from Hugh McGuire. Hugh McGuire is the CEO. He's a co founder of the of the rebus foundation. He's been building tools and communities to bring books into the open web since about 2005. He's a co editor of Libra box.org, which is free public domain audio books made by volunteers from around the world, and press books, which is an open source book publishing platform should go to the next slide with the names on it. There we go. Built on WordPress, along with Brian O'Leary, Hugh is a co editor of the book called book, a futurist manifesto essays from the leading edge of publishing. I'm sure there's lots of folks to be interested in that. Next up will be Rami Khalir. Rami is an assistant professor of learning design and technology at the University of Colorado Denver School of Education and Human Development. He researches how social annotation facilitates collaborative open and equitable learning during the 2020 2021 academic year. Rami is serving as hypothesis is inaugural scholar in residence and is helping to lead a new research initiative related to social annotation and student learning. He is also the lead author of a forthcoming book called annotation, a volume in the MIT Press essential knowledge series. He is the founder and facilitator of marginal syllabus that I hope some of you are aware of already a research practice partnership that sparks and sustains conversation about educational equity through social annotation. Here and his PhD in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. And finally, rounding out our panel today will be Mark Graham. Mark Graham's created and managed innovative online and products and services since 1984. As director of the way back machine at the Internet archive. Mark is responsible for capturing preserving and helping people discover and use more than one billion new web catchers each week. That's billion with a B. Mark was most recently senior vice president with NBC News where he managed several business units including Garvin garden web and string wire. He was senior vice president of technology with I village and early Internet company that focused on women and community, and he co founded rojo networks one of the first large scale feed aggregators and personalized blog readers. Mark's early training experience with computer mediated communications was acquired when he served in the US Air Force spending more than three years working at the Air Force data services center at the Pentagon. Mark's first nonprofit work includes volunteering with the open educational library, we are commons.org, and he's a board member also of open recovery SF dot org. And with that, I will hand it over to Dan to kick us off. Thanks Heather. Hey everybody. Nice to see you all here. And thanks. Thanks for coming. Give you a little bit of background on on what we're thinking about and then let Remy and Hugh and Mark dive a little bit into kind of how they see the context and and role from of this from their different perspectives in scholarship and publishing and archiving. Also, I wanted to say that this, we're going to be talking about an initiative here. The primary feedback is to, you know, give you a little bit of information about this but most importantly, to solicit your feedback and your input about how you see this what you think, what do you think about it, what maybe we should consider what we might be missing, who else we should be reaching out to and, and how this may relate to to your work in libraries and so forth. So the context of this is that this is this ultimately came from a problem that we were seeing at hypothesis and with other platforms kind of like ourselves. And that we're trying to bring interactivity to the classroom experience and doing that in most of the time, and a LMS authenticated way inside inside platforms and the goal to in order to, you know, keep students engaged make better use of the classroom time, leverage peer learning as where students help each other. And that this bringing this activity to these platforms requires connection to the material. And, you know, in the text that make up that material next slide. And so the problem though is that because we're sitting inside this LMS authenticated experience, most of the time, sometimes things like our hypothesis are used outside the LMS, there are plenty of instructors out there who, you know, prefer not to use the LMS. Which is just fine with us. You can, you know, also use annotation in a way that's that's outside that that framework, but you know at least well over 90% of the folks that are using this are using it kind of within that context and as it becomes more popular. In fact, that percentage will probably increase because the folks that tend to be outside tend to be the early adopters and, you know, whereas the folks that are inside tend to be, you know, a little bit more of the mainstream adopters. But right now are tools like ours can use on texts that are inside the LMS or, you know, or stored as as PDFs, Google Drive, box, etc. or in just on the open web, you know, an HTML web pages, etc. But when it comes to texts that are stored inside external platforms. Then on reading platforms that are apps themselves like vital source and so forth, or inside authenticated experiences where they might be IP range limited or in some way need to be logged into that system to be able to gain access to those texts. Then the third party tool can't and that authenticated classroom experience, you know, inside the LMS can't be brought over that third party tool that third party experience or that that remote context platform. And so the downside for instructors and teachers and so forth is that that experience that they're having over texts, like PDFs that are stored inside canvas, can't be brought over the platforms that are that are external to the system. And so what happens most of the time is that the teachers just simply take that third party content downloaded as PDF and re uploaded into canvas, which is a problem for the couple where number one it's just kind of a poor user experience it's a lot of friction it's an extra step, but also a lot of it's a violation of whatever kind of license requirement that they might have with that third party agreement. Now generally speaking, and this is a widespread practice that's going on already teachers are downloading texts and uploading them into into these systems and I think generally folks either are going to be, you know, fair use or they can look the other way. But as this practice of social learning appear learning becomes more mainstream, and this becomes more of something particularly if, if annotation or these kind of things are required as part of the then and the option to use the, the print or the other text is not an option because the interactive experience over the digital text is required, then having something that is integrated with all the platforms that the text might be on becomes more and more important. So we asked ourselves how, how could we solve for this problem, not just for ourselves but for other third party applications like ourselves. Next slide. Just, you know, kind of from our perspective, the you know the landscape of platforms that are out there kind of falls into these categories there's the LMS itself. The aggregators that goes in the pro quest and so forth. Oh we are materials, the, the, the actual publishers archives like J store and Internet archives and so forth. The digital distributors textbook distributors in particular like vital source and red shelf. The local PDFs that might be stored in a drive or a box instance. The open web, of course, as Brian is suggesting, having annotating content on the open web which is a major use case. And then other kinds of scholarly materials like print prints and journals, self publishing like use folks are using press books to to publish their own materials and then e readers like cobo and Amazon. And most of these represent except for the LMS themselves and for maybe the local PDF, or the website category are materials often which are opaque to the third party tools that like hypothesis that are being used. Next slide. And so what we wondered is, could we bring a coalition of platforms together to work to address the identify what the obstacles are to more seamless integration of content with with interaction. Find ways to eliminate does obstacles, potentially in some in some instances natively integrate great the third party technologies but at a minimum, not to obstruct them by in terms of the way that the content is is is offered or rendered, or, you know, sometimes it's not even selectable with your cursor and there's all kinds of kind of inherent limitations. So today, would that coalition work in the open. In terms of collaborating to solve these things. Next slide. So we have begun to have a wide range of conversations with many of these platforms, Heather's been helping us drive that that experience drive drive those conversations. They've gone, I think fairly well. And the, the main ask that we've, you know, kind of established the context and the landscape here, the main ask that we've had of them is, you know, would you join this, this coalition. If you kind of agree with the vision, would you work to figure out what this would mean in your own platforms work and prioritize the effort to remove some of the obstacles that are, that are there collaborate with others and you know be public about that. So the work of the coalition would be focused on a set of technical recommendations for coalition members or others to to achieve this kind of interoperability narrative produce initial demonstrations of this what it looks like. And then see if the recommendations can be incorporated. So that's necessary into other standards frameworks like LDI and so forth. So that's, that's the basic background. And do I don't know how we want to run this there. We have these basic questions these are the ones I kind of suggested at the beginning, you know, what do you think about this, what should we be thinking about here. I don't see any benefits to this, you know, kind of in your own worlds, what are the issues that you see and who else should we be talking to. We can either. I think it's best if we hold the questions to the end because I think the speakers are all going to, you know, kind of play off each other and you can go ahead and put a question if you have it now into the Q&A, we can all see that. Or you can hang on to the end and raise your hand and you will be unmuted. And then hand over to Hugh. Hello, and I'm still, I have to update that picture I used to find it strange that people with gray hair and their beards showed pictures from many years ago and now I'm doing that just to have an update of this and how many years but anyway I am Hugh, very happy to be here specifically with Hypothesis, which I think has been doing so much cool stuff through the web, a long time, and as well as the Internet archive which has kind of inspired a lot of my journey in the universe thinking about universal access to all human knowledge. Next slide, Heather. So quickly what is press books. We are a open source bookmaking platform that's how we started with the idea that press books could help different models of publishing emerge. And we've been adopted largely in the EDU universe we work with about 150 educational institutions around North America mainly. And this is used to create, adapt and share educational material, largely OER so open education resources. We have a new thing that I'll talk about a little bit here in the context of social learning which is the directory which allows you to search and use a lot of these books that are public within the press books ecosystem. And what we are mainly known for is our offering an editing platform that allows you to offer adapt content. This is full toolbox of features and one of those parts of that full toolbox is native integration with Hypothesis out of the box. Next slide. So a little bit about the directory, it's a new thing we've just rolled out and I thought in the context of social education it was important to take not just is that annotation layer but the idea of what do we do with text. And the directory, press books have been around for a while but the directory is the first time where we've made it easy to surface and find text that have been created on the press book platform that if you've got access to practice books you can pull into your application if they're openly licensed and make adaptations yourself. And this is trying to solve this question of how do we find good OER from other institutions, what are some good quality OER, how do we extend the reach of great stuff and how can we get started with existing OER to build upon. Next slide. I think there's this growing community of OER practitioners. And I think again it's interesting to think about OER in the context of being a great tool to start building these ideas on where it's a lot easier to work with content that's in the open and educational content that's in the open for the challenges that Dan outlined at the beginning. And we work with hypothesis but for instance this question we have our own LTI integration tool in VLMS, but it doesn't play with hypothesis. How do you say that hypothesis is LTI integration so how do we who are operating in this space were probably a good starting place to start building some of these tools. But how do we collaborate not just on on content but how do we start thinking about the infrastructure for this content to flow properly and these kind of interactions to flow properly. Next slide. Yeah, and I think what's interesting about this new directory is that it's this always updated index of good quality OER textbooks built on an open source platform where we can start thinking about how to, you know, as it becomes exposed to more places how do we think about items as really social objects that are part of the web that can be built on and used in different ways. And again, what's that infrastructure layer that higher ed needs to be thinking about beyond just the closed platforms that we know are there and how we build on this infrastructure. Next slide please, Heather. Yeah, for us this directory was an easy way to help get more of this content out there so that it's more exposed makes it easier for people to find the stuff that they might want to be adapting. And this brings up issues about metadata about making sure that the stuff people is producing are producing is findable. And I think back to when we're thinking about metadata conversations I had with John Udall, many probably multiple years ago but talking about if we have multiple versions of the same text living in the web, or slightly adapted versions, and you have annotation layer from hypothesis on one of those texts, how is it reflected across to another version of that text somewhere else. Hard problem, super interesting and excited about a universe that's evolving that wants to solve that problem more. Next slide please, Heather. Yeah, and I think again just going back to broadening the idea of what we mean by social education for us. OER is interesting with because you can build on text as they are so there's a social part which is the annotation layer but there's also the modification and the changing existing text which is a big part of why people like press books directory making that easier, but that starts introducing again a complicated question about how you're, if you want to be annotating and seeing this in in across the web for different versions of the same text what does that look like. And next slide. I'm going back to the directory again. So we index all these press book networks that are sort of independent publishing entities at the different higher institutions. We're just now indexing all those together. And then pulling all the metadata that's collected into one single place and you can search and sort using a variety of faceted searches. And next slide, Heather. There are some of the examples and there's a link if you want to play around with the directory and see what's there. We could do a quick check to see how many of them have hypothesis enabled. And we're still in early days so this is a not quite a first cut, but we are evolving this platform and it's exciting to see. So that's the first time to have a clear review on what's being produced and how much activity there is that next slide. And that's it. So, thank you all. Thanks you and we will be adding this presentation to sketch and also as soon as I'm not screen sharing, I will make sure that a link of it gets put into the chat. And we will hear from Rami. Well, again, it's a pleasure to connect with everyone. Thank you so much for joining our session. As is mentioned in our introductions. My name is Rami clear and this year I'm serving as a scholar and residents at hypothesis and so with my commentary today. I want to help define social learning and really position social annotation as a use case, through which we can understand the various qualities of social learning and make an argument for why this matters for educators and for students. And so we'll use of course hypothesis as an example and I've put together a pretty simple slide here but I want to unpack it in detail, which is that social annotation of course builds upon annotation as an everyday literacy practice. And so we see across disciplines and certainly across institutional types, as well as grade levels, the ways in which students with their teachers, with a variety of course content, engage with these texts as discursive texts for social learning. And so the question then becomes what does that look like and what does that look like in practice, what does the research show us about this type of learning. When Dan was introducing his comments a few moments ago, he actually mentioned some friction that both educators and students may encounter particularly as learners perhaps move into something like a learning management system. And some of the even kind of like pedagogical work around that educators need to creatively employ to make perhaps their content more available to students. And of course, reducing that kind of friction and creating a kind of more seamless and interoperable experience is of course very important for educators and for students. And again, looking at the social annotation literature, we can see why creating these types of seamless social learning experiences matter. Another one because disciplinary engagement and really deep disciplinary engagement is possible through social annotation, and this can happen in a variety of ways, one with more experts sharing their knowledge, their terminology their key concepts with groups of learners, and a lot has been gleaned from again the research literature about the ways in which learners benefit from reading expert annotation. And again, we see that both in the natural sciences as well as in the humanities and the social sciences. But a lot of disciplinary engagement also arises through peer to peer learning and again the social aspects of students raising questions with their peers, having those questions answered and moving into more again type of deep reading and interpretive practices that even Clifford mentioned at the beginning of his introduction today. We also know that as students engage with texts through annotation and engagements types of social participatory practices, they construct a new knowledge. And there's some very exciting research, including some that hypothesis is helping to lead right now. So looking at the ways in which knowledge construction activities, including elaboration interpretation disagreement conflict, as well as consensus building are all possible through this type again of learning experience, and again, reducing students friction around their engagement with peers and texts and their educators is going to again more beneficially contribute to the ways in which knowledge is constructed in these types of classroom experiences. So annotation is of course a form of collaborative dialogue and it's important to understand that there is of course, someone might call a genre of online learning associated with things like the discussion form, and then ways in which the so called dreaded through the discussion is a kind of staple particularly in higher education, and notably social annotation is working really to kind of break free from that model and showcase a different way in which digital discourse and collaborative occurs in context and again turning texts into discursive context or multiple people can take more nuanced views of sharing their knowledge and expertise with one another, and that leads to a fourth and important affordance of social annotation which is of course shared meaning making. And of course we want particularly in educational contexts, learners to make meaning of what they are reading again across disciplines and social annotation is a key way to enable that type of shared meaning making informal educational contexts. I want to keep my comments brief today, only because I hope that this elicits conversation with this entire panel, as well as everyone attending the webinar about the ways in which we can understand social annotation as a venue for exploring the full potential of social learning. The last thing I'll just mention very briefly is at the bottom of this slide there is a link to a public curated bibliography of scholarship specific to social annotation and more particular the technology of hypothesis which is the most researched social annotation technology ever created and I think that that speaks volumes to both the technical capabilities of the hypothesis tool, as well as of course the leadership, you know, by the organization as down with speaking to a few months ago, really leading the charge to create the kinds of open and interoperable learning technologies that create these types of virtual learning experiences. Thanks so much Rami and I believe this may be our last slide. Yes, so I will happily get out of the present mode. One second. And hand it over to Mark and then after Mark is finished we'll open the floor for discussion. Take it away Mark. Thank you very much and I'm just going to drop. There we go. Some URLs into the to the chat over there so I, first of all, I'm happy to share that the Internet Archive is the latest member, I think maybe of this coalition for social learning engagement as of the end of last week. And, and also I think I was the last person at this panel so I don't have any slides but a few comments I'm going to keep them brief. First of all, the Internet Archive has been involved for a long time in helping to open up access to learning materials in general. We do this in a variety of ways we have a project called turn all references blue. The goal basically is to acknowledge that everything that any human has ever been ever created in written or radio audio format. It should be accessible to people, which means that it should be digitized and available via the net. And any references to those materials that may exist in other formats say Wikipedia article, or web page or a book should have within that a link to the actual source. So the turn all references blue project has been working with Wikipedia sites now we have software running on more than 70 language Wikipedia sites to add links to references to books. We've added about 800,000 links to books in the last few months to to web sites web pages that have gone bad and returned to 404 we've fixed fixed about 14 million of them. And now with the with the launch last week of scholar dot archive that word, which is a platform for open publications academic publications, we're going to be accelerating our effort to add links to academic papers as well. The idea of turn all references blue and implies that the references self is accessible, which maybe is obvious but in many cases it isn't I see Mark Miller asked the question about, you know, making the resources of libraries available. Generally speaking in the first step there is that the materials within the libraries need to be accessible they need to be an additional format. At that end we have a project called control digital lending to extend the role of the library the digital age, the basic concept is that if that if a library owns a physical copy of a book that it can lend out digital versions of that book one at a time equal to the number of paper copies that the library owns with control digital lending. I have a link in in the chat here. Actually it's a recent link for a myth busting session that we did about control digital lending, because of some of you probably know the Internet archives being sued by the major publishers about this now. I also just want to know I'm, I'm in the offices right now of ISK me isk at me.org and they run OER Commons. OER Commons is a leading platform for directory for open educational resources. And I'm an advisor to that project. The, it has currently cataloged hundreds of thousands of education resources is more than 10 years old. And as a leading player in the space of making educational resources available in a variety of different formats. And now the end that the I also put a link up to work we did around the Mueller report that's probably the closest that we've did around annotation in full disclosure the Internet archive is not yet adopted an annotation platform in the classic sense like apophysis we do. However, support many annotation activities. One example was acknowledging when the Mueller report first came out, there were more than 2000 footnotes in it, but only about 14 of them were links. And so we, we, we had a project to identify the resources that were referenced in the Mueller report through these footnotes. In some cases, get the version of them that wasn't online make it available online, and then work with Digital Public Library of America to produce an updated EPUB version of the Mueller report with more than 700 active web links in it. So we take a very holistic view to information access in general and to, to annotation in the sense that things that should be linked are linked and things that should be accessible arm and accessible through those links. Thank you. Thanks so much, Mark and remember if you would like to ask your question. You can either put it in the q amp a or you can raise your hand and someone will unmute you. I've got a couple of questions. I always do. Dan I know one of the things that you've mentioned as as really being key to this discussion that you'd like the coalition to undertake are the role of interoperability and standards could you tell us just a little bit more about that side of this. I think the, you know, the key, the key problem that we have now is that the kind of experience that a teacher or student might have in one place is not equivalent to the experience that they can have in the other place. Just at the most basic level there might be one kind of annotation experience here and then the platform has its own, but they can't take notes in both and have them searchable or have the same discussion, you know, in the in the class in one place as they can in the other. So the first thing that we're trying to do is see, you know, what would it take to create a framework for that kind of interoperability. But the, the underlying technology that might be brought might be based on standards. You know with open API is and so forth so that the high quality kinds of experiences and that the data itself is not locked away and proprietary format. Thank you for that. I want to ask Rami now you were using social annotation long before many people were forced off campus and into the virtual classroom exclusively. I would imagine it might have been a little bit more straightforward at least in one aspect for attempt to move those discussions entirely online. Can you talk a little bit about the strategies that you found effective for social learning, so that you know others might kind of learn a little bit from that. Absolutely. And apologies for the little one maybe screaming in the background right now as we all work from home, most of us at least. You know, I think that we can look at this from the perspective of both, you know, a teacher and also a student, you know, a lot of educators now are talking about two topics when it comes to social annotation. One is how educators seed SEED, their expertise into texts, identifying again key terminology, the ways in which researchers describe their methods, asking questions of students to then elicit their responses and there's been a lot of discussion recently, some anecdotal sun now appearing in the scholarly record about the ways in which instructors are making these kind of moves within the text again as the discursive context. And I think also that a lot of educators are currently, you know, experimenting with particularly given the shift to fully online learning, again, pretty much across higher education during the pandemic has been what we may call orchestration to use the kind of technical learning sciences jargon. How do social annotation activities sequence with a line to and then perhaps complement other kinds of classroom activities is social annotation a pre reading activity that then precedes a lecture with a faculty member is social annotation done to review course materials is it done as a peer review activity among students and how do these social annotation activities that dovetail to and also extend other kinds of course specific activities and there's a lot to be learned there again that kind of richens and kind of deepens the kind of overall peer to peer learning experiences within either on the ground, or certainly online classrooms. And then you know how they're, you know, briefly to the point then of what do students do and how do they approach this, you know, I'm increasingly speaking with educators who mentioned the importance of students having a lot of agency and ownership in the margins, and that these kind of marginal discursive spaces are an important place for students to make their thinking visible, share rough draft thinking, illicit feedback from their peers to clarify misconceptions, and that there's an importance to opening up these margins as a kind of space for exploratory again kind of first draft thinking through often difficult course content and so having the kinds of interoperable experiences again the Dan others have spoken to now to make that just easier for students from a technical perspective will be so important as they then move across multiple classes, multiple years of their scholarly journey, and then can take those notes and can kind of collect take that record of collective intelligence with them over time. Thanks so much and Dan has included in the chat again, some of the questions that he had on his slide so we'd love to get your reaction from the audience whether that is as a written reaction or whether you'd like to actually speak with us to some of those questions in the chat box. Anybody want to take a crack at it. I just want to put a plug in for the value of open standards and the importance of it vis vis of a long term sustainability. I think what we all recognize that individual companies and projects and priorities. And sometimes go away completely. And there's been many examples of that actually even in the annotation world we remember that YouTube had a very robust annotation system, which they took took down the eliminated it. And there's many other examples that I could list here but but the point is if if annotation systems and these you know metadata data data about about data is accessible, both in a standard format as well as through some sort of an open space access method, then the probability that those systems are going to be replicated, they're going to be widely adopted and be archived and archives in a way that they can then be we use a different context is increased. And so, certainly, it makes my job here at the Internet archive easier to the degree that these materials are available in open standards. And, and that's something that it's almost any system that we would adopt and use within the Internet archive. It would be a requirement for us actually that that baby standards base. So we, we welcome the, you know, the leadership with hypothesis particular in this and I just just put a plug in to say I've been going to, to the hypothesis, you know, face to face conference is for many, many years now. And even though we've never formally have not yet formally adopted the hypothesis platform and certainly influenced some of our priorities and thinking at the Internet archive to have the benefit of the sharing within that community, which itself is an expression of openness, I think, the spirit in which those conferences have been held over the years. Yeah, I think that I annotate is coming up in June. Save the date has has gone out. I have a question for Hugh. Hugh has his camera off so I'm hoping that he's actually still there. There he is. Yeah, so, so I'm really interested in open, open educational resources and given that marks sitting in the, in the home of, you know, our Commons. I think it's, it's even more valuable. And, and just to highlight the point that social learning is not just students social learning is across instructors who work in the same discipline or who work in an interdisciplinary manner and having different versions of OER texts connect to each other and be discoverable and shareable. Can you talk a bit about how that contributes to social learning amongst the, the faculty set. I think I can talk about as well from my context, so I'm the CEO at press books also executive director at the readers foundation which does a lot of work helping groups of OER authors work together. So, I think for me what's interesting again is just zooming out there is the annotation layer in the way that that encourages socialness but what we've seen in press books land and rebus land is that power of people working together from different places on creating content or adapting it and pulling apart and building it in new kinds of ways and I see that to me is such an exciting part of the future of educational content is the way we can start thinking about content is something that is not just a final monolith and output but something that can be chewed up and rearranged and moved around and I think that annotation is a big part of that kind of that social aspect but the idea that what we see a lot of is people taking a piece of content from the press books ecosystem and then rebuilding it adding a new set of we also integrate in addition with a hypothesis with H5P which allows people to take something and build in new interactive content quizzes, etc. And I just think that that I'm going to go back to what Mark said about the open standards is that very exciting I mean it's we've, I think most of us have been in this for a long time. Long thinking about ecosystem for information where it just is more fluid and flowable. But what's really exciting is that notion or what's really important is that open standards make that possible in a way and platforms that that think about information is not something that is captured just in one place in one system but can flow out and be built upon and and and changed in different ways and so that was a very rambly answer but I think the idea that open standards should allow us to think about how we can take pieces of information and build different things with them to me is just, I mean it's driven a lot of the work that I've done and it's exciting to see where hypothesis going, but I like getting into the actual bricks of the content itself and how can that be pulled apart and rebuild and that's an inherently social activity because you're taking something from somewhere else to rebuild it. I couldn't agree with you more Hugh and you know that's really the space that's been the most interesting to me in recent years and if you're, you know, here today on the session. There's definitely ways that you could participate in you live increasingly in a distributed information environment and I firmly believe that the, you know, the future involves not only open open standards but open knowledge graphs where publishers and librarians and researchers will be able to curate resources and annotate them with assertions so for it's going to be so important for trust and transparency and provenance as we move into really a more complex system. Dan if folks are interested in joining the coalition what's the best way for them to reach out. They should ping either myself or you and just just drop an email and say hey and we'd love to tell you more about it and and this is not only for for publishers but also for institutions who are interested in how to ensure these kind of experiences across the content that they're licensing and connecting to on behalf of their students and faculty. And what if you're not super technical is there a role for you to play. I mean, the old goal of this is to make, you know, great experiences for people, regardless whether they're technical or not so. For sure, I think the what we will be care most about is hearing what people need. And, you know, that it's not not about whether they have a technical perspective or not. Fantastic well I want to thank our speakers collectively I was amazing tour through the world of social learning and all of the places that are touched by that. And we'll hand back over to Diane to close us off. I guess we're going to be able to stick around and continue to chat but to close off the recorded version of the session. Okay, thank you thanks Heather. Thanks to all of our panelists that was really interesting, fascinating tour as Heather said, I just dropped Dan's email in the chat. And it looks like other folks are sharing their emails as well so please reach out if you're interested in getting more information about this project or joining the coalition. Let's see, let's see Heather I see your email address but I think, did you mean to chat that out. Now I'm going to chat it out everyone. Okay, cool. Thanks. All right, so yeah, I think we're going to go ahead and close down the recording of this session again big thanks to our panelists and thank you so much to our attendees. If you'd like to hang around and have a chat with the panelists. Please feel free to to hang in there with us after we turn off the recording. Raise your hand we can unmute you and you can approach the podium and ask your questions or make your comments and thanks so much for spending time with us here today I hope to see you back at CNI in the weeks to come take care. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZuMvITydlg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm Professor Joshua James from the Legal Informatics and Forensic Science Institute at Hallam University in South Korea. This course or this video is going to be about an introduction to research and specifically how to get started with your research. So we have a lot more research students coming into our program now and many of them have never even even thought about really starting a real research project before. So this course is really made for them to think about how to get started in your research and what are some ways that can help you whenever you're just starting out doing research projects and papers. And also what is the I guess method that you can use to generate research ideas? How should you be thinking about those research ideas and potentially what tools can you use to help you actually complete your research and hopefully eventually get it published? So this course is is general. I might give some very specific examples sometimes about digital forensics or cyber crime investigation because that's what we do in our lab primarily but really these videos are for anyone who is interested in doing research is interested in starting research or maybe doesn't know where to begin. So I'll be posting these videos also on YouTube feel free to follow follow me on YouTube if you want to see all of these videos but I'm also I'm doing something a little bit different this time since I want to structure this a little bit more like a course I'm also using Google Classroom and you can find the link to Google Classroom and how to join the class below. Basically it's the same videos it's just you'll get a few more resources about what to read and things from Google Classroom and you can use the same account that you would use on Google. So feel free to follow me on Google Classroom feel free to follow me on YouTube if you want to get more updates on this introduction class. Some of the things we'll be talking about is starting out research. What is the goal of doing research? What once you have this goal what tools can you use to get yourself organized get your research organized to get your thinking organized about actually doing the research. What are the different methods that you can use to do research and when do you normally apply them for example we're normally in engineering so engineering computer science so we have a slightly different method for example than you would in biology now scientific method might be the same but the process and the kind of end results might be a little bit different sometimes or the way we show the results could be quite different sometimes and then after that how to organize your research that way you can actually understand your findings and then how to eventually produce results or give those results to the rest of the world usually through publication or maybe social media videos things like that so we'll talk about each of these different steps that a new researcher would normally go through hopefully from from first to last on Google Classroom I'll be posting a lot of links to different articles that are quite quite well written about about the subject and then we'll of course have videos talking about each of the subjects and specifically videos on how to use different research oriented tools we'll be talking a lot about software data management that kind of thing okay so that's the basic idea for this course it's free for everyone feel free to go to Google Classroom and join for my students you have to go to Google Classroom and join so I hope to see you there I hope this is a really good resource for anyone who is just starting a career or starting to think about research or wanting maybe to get a refresher about how the research process goes okay so thank you very much	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzG8JWwWpmU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC_TneqvSfh-KsIyZMlJjVsQ	North Korea fired two ballistic missiles towards the Korean Peninsula's east coast	#Kanal13 #likekanal13 #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 - SUBSCRIBE TO US! North Korea fired two ballistic missiles towards the Korean Peninsula's east coast on Sunday, December 18, South Korea's military said. The North's missile launch comes just days after the country tested a high-thrust solid-fuel engine that experts said would allow quicker and more mobile launch of ballistic missiles, as it seeks to develop a new strategic weapon and speed up its nuclear and missile programs. The test, overseen by leader Kim Jong Un, was conducted on Thursday, December 15 at North Korea's Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, which has been used to test missile technologies, including rocket engines and space launch vehicles, the official KCNA news agency reported the following day. North Korea has conducted an unprecedented number of missiles tests this year, including an ICBM capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, despite international bans and sanctions. South Korea convened a National Security Council (NSC) meeting to "strongly condemn" North Korea for escalating tensions, after Pyongyang fired two missiles towards the sea off the Korean Peninsula's east coast on Sunday, December 18. The South Korean presidential office added that the North's continued provocations and development of nuclear weapons and missiles would further endanger the North Korean regime. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the two medium-range missiles flew about 500 km (311 miles). The missile launch comes just days after the country tested a high-thrust solid-fuel engine that experts said would allow quicker and more mobile launch of ballistic missiles, as it seeks to develop a new strategic weapon and speed up its nuclear and missile programs. Japan lodged a strong protest after North Korea launched two ballistic missiles eastwards on Sunday (December 18), the country’s Vice Defence Minister, Toshiro Ino, told reporters in Tokyo. Ino said the two ballistic missiles were launched eastwards from near the western coast of North Korea within the same hour starting 11:00a.m. (0200GMT), both flying around 500 kilometres at a maximum altitude of about 550 kilometres. The missiles flew on a parabolic trajectory, and no damages have been reported. “North Korea's series of rapidly escalating provocations threatens the peace and security of Japan, the region, and the international community, and must not be tolerated… Japan has lodged a strong protest with North Korea through our embassy in Beijing and strongly condemned their actions,” Ino said. North Korea has conducted an unprecedented number of missile tests this year, including an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, despite international bans and sanctions. In November, North Korea test-fired an ICMB that Japanese officials said had sufficient range to reach the mainland of the United States and that landed just 200 kms (130 miles) off Japan. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 Kanalımıza bu linkə tıklamaqla dəstəyinizi göstərin: http://bit.ly/birmanat https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp *Diqqət!

UC67Lg299ruoB4y8TwjBa1bw	Leadership in the Gig Economy \| interview with Lalit Gupta	In this illuminating interview on TV2’s “Fresh Brew”, our very own Lalit Gupta shares remarkable insights on the gig economy and 21st century leadership development. Today, we are all living in the Open Source Era where everything is open and transparent. If you look at the way our lives have changed dramatically just in the last five to 10 years, it’s staggering. However, leadership and management practices have not caught up. And when we talk about digital transformation, there are two parts to it. One is applying digitisation and technology to your business models, seeing how it is going to change and make you more competitive. But the second part is the leadership and the people. How do you lead and manage people differently? How do you create a culture of innovation? How do you motivate and enable performance in today's environment? Specifically, we as leaders need to focus in on the gig economy and the rising tide of freelancers. 26% of employees in Malaysia are free agents. It is no longer purely a Silicon Valley phenomenon. If you look at the millennials, they are looking for meaning more than money, they want more flexibility and freedom. And according to some estimates, 75% of the workforce by 2025 will be millennials. The gig economy is going to become a norm in every industry and in every organisation.	[ "ICLIF", "Open Source Leadership", "Leadership Energy", "gig economy", "tv2", "fresh brew" ]	2019-09-19T03:59:58	2024-02-05T08:59:31	824	vZ6MJiU0TYc	actually has its roots in music pretty much. We're focusing on leadership in the gig economy and the reason the gig economy is called the gig economy is because previously it was limited to musicians who got paid per gig kind of like how we get paid. Exactly, it's not all glitz and glamour. It does have the glitz and glamour but at the end of the day we need to pay our bills and with each gig that we get the more basically the more gig we have the more money we get but also means that we don't have any form of security. But today this economy is not just limited to the performing arts it's taken on a life of its own. In fact we're gonna find out just how big the gig economy is with our guest in the studio. Now Mr. Lalith is of course the chief marketing officer of iCliff. So before we go any further you tell us a little bit more what you guys do with iCliff. So iCliff is a leadership and governance center so we are fully owned and funded by Banking Arab. We are a not-for-profit organization. We focus on two things. We focus on leadership development programs for senior executives of large organizations and we do corporate governance programs for board of directors. We had our humble beginnings in 2003 focused on financial sector in Malaysia and in the last five to six years we have grown dramatically. We now have clients in 22 countries and financial sector is only about one third of our revenue. The gig economy must have changed the way you do business because it is not just limited to people like us to get paid per gig. It's now all inclusive it's Uber drivers grab grab drivers is the food delivery guys. It's also people in corporate finance it's also people in HR. So tell us about how the gig economy has changed. So the gig economy has come a long way. As you rightly said it started with musicians of performing arts and it is growing dramatically. So the term gig actually it's a slang which means job for a specified period of time. So it includes free agents free Lancers temporary contractors etc. The way it is growing is and there are a number of other connotations that come with the gig economy. So for example a grab driver as you rightly said is a gig economy worker right is a free agent. Now he drives for grab but he does not have a boss right. He does not work for grab right. He decides when and how much he wants to work. He has that freedom and flexibility and he enjoys that right. So for example if today is this grab driver's wife's birthday he may decide to take her out to lunch and have a leisurely lunch with her but he knows fully well that to make up for that time he needs to drive more later in the evening right. So nobody has to tell him that he needs to work harder or longer hours if he wants to earn more. So that kind of a flexibility and that responsibility goes together and that's the interesting part about the gig economy. Okay like we both of us are basically freelancers right in simple terms freelancers but with as much as we love having the time to set like you said with the grab driver he or she may set a few hours you know whether or not they want to work within this period of hours whether how much money they earn is based on the amount of hours they put in. So how do iCliff actually come in and help out freelancers and basically do you guys help us monitor or what's the correlation between iCliff and freelancers at this point. So we look at leadership development right and today we are all living in open source era where everything is open and transparent. If you look at the way our lives have changed dramatically just in the last five to ten years but leadership and management practices have not. So when we talk about digital transformation there are two parts to it. One is applying digitization and technology to your business models and see how it is going to change and make you more comparative but the second part is the leadership and the people part and that's the bit that we focus on. How do you lead and manage people differently? How do you create a culture of innovation which is extremely important in today's environment? How do you motivate and enable performance in today's environment? For example when we talk about the gig economy and the free agents of the free freelancers right they have a whole lot of freedom and flexibility. Now if you look at 20th century management and leadership it was all about control. More control leads to more productivity leads to more profitability. Yes boss. Absolutely and like people used to take pride in saying we are a zero tolerance organization but today that is not possible. You cannot continue to treat your employees the way you did let's say ten, twenty years ago because you have a growing gig economy where people have a whole lot of flexibility and freedom. You cannot continue to treat your employees the way you did ten, twenty years ago. You need to give them more freedom and more flexibility within the realm of whatever you're trying to do. So when we look at the size of the gig economy how big is it as we speak today? So there are a number of estimates so let me share some statistics with you. I'll share some of the conservative estimates with you. So some of the statistics say that 36% of US population is already free agents which means one in three worker in US is already a free agent or a freelancer and do you know what that number in Malaysia is? Oh yeah we're waiting for that figure. 26% so one in four people in Malaysia are free agents right. So it is no longer a Silicon Valley phenomenon. It is here and now and you see those changes happening today. So as we move forward what we see is that more and more people will be opting for more flexibility and freedom. If you look at the millennials they are for meaning more than money they want more flexibility and freedom and according to some estimates 75% of the workforce by 2025 will be millennials and you'll see where the gig economy is going. Yeah it's like I do agree to some extent because I would consider myself as part of the millennials you know still 26, still young and most of the things that my friends and I discuss are why aren't companies giving us the type of freedom because we always argue between productivity and you know spending them on eight hours in the office. If I finish my work within that five hours that three hours why don't I spend it somewhere else you know because at the end of the day if I'm a happy worker I am more inclined to be more productive for the company I'm working for. So trust me what you're expecting is going to become a norm in every industry and in every organization. So traditionally as I was saying that most of the leadership was all about control right about rules policies and procedures right. We talked to CEOs and board of directors we asked them you know what percentage of your time you spend enforcing rules versus enforcing values right and people talk about 90 to 10. 90% of their time is spent enforcing rules policies and procedures. Now in today's time if you are driven more by rules and policies pretty soon your organization is drowning in the red pool of bureaucracy right you're not giving any freedom to your employees there's no risk taking and hence there is no innovation right and you know those organizations are not going to survive. So what we propose is that the leadership now needs to be driven by enforcing values you need to enforce a values-based culture you need to create a freedom within that framework of values that you need to give to your employees so that they have a little bit of agility they're willing to take some risks and they're willing to create innovations for your company to survive in today's environment. Yeah well that's interesting trade off I think for some companies because they still have the legacy mindset of perhaps the generation before so how do you then suppose people take up leadership positions within a gig economy because 75% of the economy is the gig economy there's no succession there's no leadership there's no structure. Yeah so it is tough so I'm not saying it's going to be easy the people that we do these leadership development programs for they and when we give them all these thoughts and ideas in terms of how leadership needs to change they kind of nod like you're nodding they agree and they smile but they say but this is not for me right we are different my organization is different and then we go deeper into you know what is it that your organization can do in moving towards that continuum so the way we look at it is that on one end of the continuum is the gig workers in terms of how you treat them with freedom and flexibility and this is where the traditional organizations are what you're saying is what is the start that you can make for your organization and move on that continuum towards making the gig economy work because that is what the future of economy is. When CEOs become a part of the gig economy that would be an amazing future. I'm coming at this hour I'm leaving at this hour you know as long as I get my work done but at the end of the reason why we work is of course to earn money and in do you have a rough estimate as to a person could get per gig is that a bit too of a personal question to us. No so I mean based on the research right number of people are ending up earning lot more as gig workers compared to the full-time employment right now there are a number of thoughts that come to us you know when we talk about gig economy they say there'll be exploitation of workers or the free agents right the counter to that is that actually the permanent employees lot of them they feel that they are stuck right they feel that they are being harassed right so free agents they feel that they are a little bit more free etc the second is about the safety net right as soon as you become a free agent you lose the safety net right the counter thought to that is actually gig economy I think it offers a safety net right today if you lose your job you can go to websites like Upwork or Freelance or crowd source put your skills on there and find a job right or if you have a car you could start driving as a grab driver tomorrow and start making some money when do you think in the history did you have that outshading right so the gig economy actually offers a safety net for people rather than taking away the safety net in a minute I suppose that's one part of it right with the other part of it is the gig worker it's got to be a bit more financially literate than the generation before he's got to know how to protect himself in the case of injury loss of income and that kind of thing so besides taking up leadership positions in the gig economy per se within organizations how would you advise gig economy workers to look at the industry with not just too much enthusiasm but also a little bit of caution yeah so there's a whole lot of social security piece that needs to be taken care of if you're in a permanent job the organization takes care of your health care your social security benefits etc and I believe it's a matter of time right so if you look at Starbucks right Starbucks they provide full health care and employee benefits to their temporary workers right so Starbucks is already doing that I think more and more organization will follow suit so all those gaps which are there in the gig economy and the free agents right now I think they'll be taken care of as we move forward yeah no I was talking to a grab driver as well and this was something that was quite interesting because she talked about how even in the grab world for example there are people who do it full-time and part-time and actually certain companies they are slowly realizing that they do need the workers you know even though they're free agents freelancers they do need that and they need to provide some sort of security so I think with certain companies they do offer some part of some form of insurance you know you can take a part-time insurance or a full full insurance so that's actually very interesting I'm very excited to see you know where our economy is gonna head towards 2025 yes yes Millennials are gonna take over right people like you need to take over yeah so I gotta ask the question what would it mean for unions organizations and you know bodies that represent gig workers is there a future for something like that is there a need for something like that maybe so one of the views that we have is that in open source era everything is open and transparent right so these things they get self-regulated right there is no place to hide right if I mean we have no privacy you know and if there is a silver lining to this dark cloud of no privacy it is that being transparent will make people not more honest because everything that you say or do is gonna be out there in the media right so a lot of it is gonna be self-regulated right but that's I think being too optimistic but I think there will be some place for some regulations and some public policy like most of the things that are outcome of digital economy you know for example when Uber came out it spread like wildfire right there was a lot of public acceptance before the public policy could come in to take care of that right and I think there'll be similar case for gig economy so gig economy is gonna explode it's already exploding and I think public policy and the regulations will catch up at some point as they are today thank you very much Mr. for being here on the program it's been a pleasure speaking to you my pleasure thank you very much	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ6MJiU0TYc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Join us to hear more about this statewide reading promotion activity, sponsored by the Nebraska Library Commission and the Nebraska Center for the Book. Joe Starita, author of the 2012 selection will be with us to discuss his work, I Am a Man: Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice. NCompass Live - October 3, 2012. http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/	[ "onebookonenebraska", "nebraska", "books", "joe starita", "author", "interview", "conversation", "ncomplive", "ncompass live", "nlc" ]	2012-11-15T15:38:23	2024-02-05T15:59:55	3,873	VzJaGZcpTJs	Good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host Krista Burns here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the Commission's weekly online event where we cover anything that may give interest to librarians across the state and across the country. We do these sessions every Wednesday morning live at 10 a.m. Central Time. They last about an hour on average but they are all recorded so if you're not able to join us on Wednesday mornings that's fine you can go and watch all of our recorded sessions from as long as we've been doing this show. We do a mixture of things here. We do presentations, many training sessions, book reviews, anything as I said if it has to do with libraries we'll put it on the show. This morning we have as you can see we're doing a session about this year's one book one Nebraska selection and I'm actually going to hand over to it's Mary Jo you'll start. Mary Jo Ryan here at the Library Commission and she's here with me and she's going to introduce what we're doing today and what's going to be going on. So I will just pass the mic to her and take it away. Mary Jo. Thank you Krista. Well as Krista said welcome everyone we are so pleased to have this opportunity to talk about the one book one Nebraska. It's I am a man she's standing there's journey for justice by Jo's Dorita and it's our pleasure today to have sort of a group discussion and this this is some this is the format that I really like for Encompass Live because it reminds me of a of a great old talk radio show that I used to do so here we are just pretend like it's the olden days and we have top radio and I'll tell you who's here to discuss this book with us we are most fortunate to have the author with us today Jo's Dorita. Hi Jo. Hi how are you? Really good. Good to have you. And now we have two other people who will be. The camera's good. We were just trying to decide whether you want to see who we are or not. Okay Joe you want to give away hi and with us today also to my left to my left to your right is Rod Wagner the director of the Nebraska Library Commission. Good morning everyone. Rod's been involved with one book one Nebraska since it started about eight or nine years ago. That's right. And it's been a great project through the Nebraska Center for the Book where we've encouraged people all across the state to read the same book and talk about it with each other. Molly Fisher's over here to my right. Molly Fisher was formerly with the Nebraska Humanities Council and she's now a commissioner at the Nebraska Library Commission. So welcome Molly. It's nice to be here. Molly's also on the Nebraska Center for the Book Board and I asked her to join us because she did an interview with Joe's to read it. Oh several months ago when we first started this year's one book one Nebraska and they thought it was fun. So we thought we kind of re-freezed it here. So Joe is there anything you'd like to tell us to get us kind of starting about the book and then we'll just kind of hop in with questions and we'd love to have you do a reading when that's good. Well I guess I would just say that it's been a really it's been a really it's been a really great experience. I've traveled all over the state of Nebraska in the last year and what it's it's shown me a couple of things. One is that books still have a place in people's lives that not all stories can be told in 140 characters and that people are still in their crazy 24 seven busy lives. They're still carving out the time to go to a bookstore to buy a book to go to a library to check out a book to go home to read the book and then to turn up at this endless consolation of events that you all have been so gracious and organizing and asking good questions and thoughtful questions and that's been true just as much in Neely as it has been in Columbus as it has been in Norfolk as it has been last week in Chattanooga. So I'm just really impressed with the reaction to this story by Nebraskans and to the sincerity of their questions and how diligent they've been in making sure that this has become a little part of their life for however long. Yeah that's pretty neat. Tell us a little bit about this story for folks that may not have actually read the book yet although if there's an Nebraskan left that hasn't read this book this year they still got a couple months to do it again. True. Well the narrative arc of the book, some people collect dolls, some people collect butterflies, some people collect model cars. I collect stories and good stories and this is one that got on my radar a number of years ago and the more I found out about it the more fascinating it became. It has everything you could possibly want. If you're a storyteller you collect stories and you're looking to spend a couple of years of your life holed up and going over treaties and testimony and letters this is this is manifold. So this is the story of an American Indian. This is the story of a middle-aged father. This is the story of the chief of a small obscure tribe located in a remote corner of the Northern Great Plains who fought the United States government took on the United States Army and brought the United States Army brought the United States government to its knees. Not using a Winchester 77, not using a bow and arrow, not using a scalping knife, but using of all things a writ of habeas corpus and that battle was fought on the second floor of the federal courthouse at Omaha in the spring of 1879 and when the dust had cleared the judge a grizzled frontiersman who much preferred to be out hunting grizzly bears he was so struck he was so struck by the humanity of this man and the humanity of his story that he did something that had never been done in the 103 year history of the United States which is he declared an American Indian to be a person within the meaning of the law for the first time in our nation's history a person who simply wanted to bury his son his people the Ponca 750 strong were forcibly removed from reservations along the Niagara River northeast Nebraska that not one US treaty said they legally occupied but two US treaties never the less the government wanted their land they kicked them out they put bayonets to their back they withheld food they withheld water they crushed their spirits when they were weak enough they gave they gave in and Indian people don't do that Indian people do not lead their debt they had spent 200 years on this beautiful reservation excuse me hugging the lush Niagara River Valley and they had seven sacred hills where they had buried their debt they knew everything there was to know about how to survive on this land they say many white people when they first built across the Mississippi after the Civil War showing them how to grow wheat squash pumpkins getting them through the winners and then suddenly they're told we don't care if it's your land we want you to move to Oklahoma and they broke their resistance through the means I said they moved to Oklahoma is a horrific journey nine people died on the way down and within one year one third of the tribe had died mostly from malaria there were no preparations made a people who had a rich vibrant life in this cold northern climate were forcibly removed 550 miles south through this very rocky humid malaria infested land and they were given no oxen no plows no food no lodging no clothing they basically were just unceremoniously dumped on the land and said survive but in the first year they were there one third of the tribe died and in Christmas week of 1878 standing bears only son a 16 year old boy by the name of bear shield now he lay dying on the floor of this cheap army canvas tent in Christmas week of 1878 but before bear shields eyes closed in death he extracted a solemn promise from his father the chief and that promise was very simple fathered when I died bring my body back and bury it in our beloved homeland not in this hated Indian territory where all of our people are dying and so on January 7 1879 standing bear wrapped the body bear shield in his best clothes he wrapped him in a buffalo robe he gently put him in the back of the wicket buck or wagon and standing there in 29 others of the tribe including 11 children and seven women they began walking with very little clothing very little food very little money they began this almost biblical walk from Oklahoma back to the South Dakota border on a day with this hellacious blizzard was blowing in from Canada and the air temperature on the road above that day was 19 below zero and here were the small straggling band of pocket who were trying to fulfill a promise to the chief and made his own son and this is a book that is just one of the things I love about the book is it's just one irony on top of another it's one irony stacked on top and other irony number one January 2nd 1879 the body of standing where his only son is bouncing along the back of this rickety wagon as they are trying to protect themselves against this fierce blizzard coming in from Canada they have virtually no winter clothes no food no clothing but what they did have what they did have was this promise that standing bear had made his son to return his remains to their sacred home and on January 2nd 1879 the United States by then the United States government had made 371 treaties with the American Indians and by January 1879 the American government had broken all 371 treaties they were all for 371 but standing bear this savage this heathen this man who was not considered a person by the United States government he was not going to break his promise to his son even if that meant walking 550 miles with no food no clothing no money the dead of winter into this raging blizzard blowing out of Canada that this savage this non-person was going to honor that pledge no matter what it took and that's one of the great irons in the book one of them it's an extremely powerful story in an amazingly written book it sounds really depressing but it is very uplifting it's like the rest of the story is extremely right yes and that's that's one of the great irons it starts off as this very dark we've been here done that before the white man screwing over the Indian the government with its boot jack on the juggler but one of the things that is really powerful about this book is that if you stick with it clouds begin to part at a certain time and the sun comes out in a way that it never had on this whole Indian white continuum that we call the 19th century 1800s in America that intersection where the force of manifest destiny collided with standing there and his people was never a very pretty one if you happen to be an American Indian but what is unique and one of the things that propels you out of bed at 3 o'clock in the morning and allows you to indulge all of your obsessions is that this was a story in which that didn't happen it didn't stay dark and stormy the entire time this is a story in which I think because of just how human just how human this story is it pulled at the heartstrings of a variety of Americans who had never in their lives dreamed of stepping out of the shadows stepping out of the back alleys coming out of the woodwork to rally around the flag of an American Indian but there's something about a father this devoted to his son there's something about a people who love their country and love their homeland as much as standing for dinner once that story began to get out it created momentum they just forced the government to do the right thing even when the government didn't want to do the right thing so it's a very uplifting story in the end because it pulls in this constellation of white heroes from all strata of American society and it gets them all marching in the same direction with the same object you give this man his day in court are you kidding me he's walking 550 miles in a blizzard with no money no food no clothing to vary his son on land that he legally owned and you're trying to screw with him you don't know there's something fundamentally wrong about that and if we are to consider ourselves to be the Americans that we want to be then we have to face a certain reality either we are going to help this man out and be able to look ourselves in the mirror or we're going to keep sweeping these kinds of stories under the carpet letting them fester in the corners and we are going to morph into something that we don't want to become and standing bare and his story had the power to alter how Americans viewed themselves and that's a pretty rare feat that's pretty rare feat particularly when there wasn't any Facebook or website unlike what we have for him to go on yeah in the spring of 1879 to tell his story communication Molly did you have a question Joe have you found as you've gone all over the state a reaction this is I love the book and I am so touched by it but what keeps getting me is the fact that I knew about the Omaha's the Winnebago's the Odum, Missouri the Sanity Sioux all these other tribes I just didn't know much about the Polka and it wasn't until I had read the book and actually did some investigating I found that the Polka tribe was they lost them their whole well I don't know what you would call it their tribal status with federal government right they were terminated they were terminated which is a good word when well that's the government's word yeah we're terminating you you've been a tribe for thousands of years but we're going to just sign a document today and pretend that you no longer exist and they were terminated the southern Polka were not right but they weren't reconstituted until the 1990s yeah and I was around in the 1990s and I never even knew about it have you found that kind of well I would say ignorance on my part but the response that nobody knows that much about the Polka yeah yeah no I mean it's one of the it was not certainly not the main motivation but it was a motivation for doing this book is as I found out more about the story I found out how few people knew about this story and what was most appalling was really how few Nebraska's really knew about the story and it's just a great story it's it's not just a great Nebraska story it's a great American story I mean this man and his story and his people embody every value that we hold true and that we believe in and we wrap around our arms around as Americans I mean this is a story about a devoted father this is a story about love of family this is a story about love of homeland this is a story about honor integrity perseverance courage it has every universal theme that we like to see reflected in the dominant majority and it comes to almost an apotheosis in this story because it's so extreme I mean when I drive I was in Scott's bluff Friday and I had to drive from Scott's bluff to Lincoln and I thought that's stref between York and Lincoln I was going to go insane and I was driving I was driving 80 miles an hour because you know you you're just exhausted you're exhausted after 400 miles and these are people who routinely walk 400 miles it's a whole different world and you know you have to stop and think you're complaining about being in this air conditioned round car going 80 miles an hour stopping whatever you want for a snack you just can't comprehend the the levels of physical endurance that they were able to apply to to get something done I mean to think about walking 550 miles to keep a promise and the dead of winter without any of the clothing and medicine and all of those things so so the the sheer humanity this story I think is unbelievably compelling and I was held that to try and weave together all of the all of the yarn and all of the narrative yarn I could find and to braid this into a quilt that Nebraskans could could hold in their hands and read and appreciate the power of one of their own and what he did and what he accomplished at a time when it seemed to me so relatively few people really knew this story was in their own backyard Joe the travels throughout Nebraska and beyond has that been an opportunity to help with some of the other projects you're involved in related to this you got a scholarship program native daughter's projects I assume that's an opportunity to talk about those things too as resulted in some contribution for yes this has this meaning so many trips all over Nebraska talking about from Gretna I don't know how many times just at Omaha alone all of these trips all over Nebraska to talk about this book that is the one that won Nebraska selection of course very happy about very proud of them has been a feat of multitasking yes there is objective number one I feel like I'm one of those old itinerant preachers from the 1800s village to village in the beginning there was I feel this is my Bible I'm preacher Joe I'm coming into Neely I'm coming into Columbus I'm coming into Gretna I'm coming into Shadrin I'm coming in Norfolk etc etc and I'm bringing the good book with me and I'm spreading the word that's one of the objectives of these trips the only tasking part is look and I'm very serious about this and there's obvious reasons why one of the really wonderful things that is sprung out of my itinerant travels along dusty back roads in Nebraska spreading the word is that about 14 months ago I established a scholarship the chief standing bear journey for justice scholarship and this is a scholarship that's going to be awarded every spring and it's going to go to native Nebraska high school graduates native American high school graduates of Nebraska and it will be used to further their education whether that that could be anything some kind of education that will lead to a job that could be auto mechanic school that can be hair styling that could be the med center to be law school could be could be library school that's right it doesn't whatever it is but this is scholarship targeted specifically for Nebraska native American high school graduates to help them get to the next stage of their life which is some post high school educational endeavor that will hopefully lead to a job so everywhere I've been and every talk that I give I make sure that people in the audience know that and I usually have books with me and I let them know that every book that I sell I get it's a paperback I get $3 and it's a hardcover I get $5 and every penny of my cut of the book sale plus the royalties I get from the publisher in New York everything I get from this book goes into this scholarship and my goal is a hundred thousand dollars and I've got forty thousand now anybody out there who wants to help me get to that goal it's a good it's a novel effort on your part because it's it's tax deductible you're helping expand the pool of educated Nebraskans and you're giving back to people who kind of got robbed so it works on every level there's also a third element to excuse me to these adventures and that is this very complex project that we are undertaking at the University of Nebraska College of Journalism and it's called Native Daughters and it's a three semester project in which we are cherry picking the best and brightest students we have and we are enrolling them in this hand-picked class and we have a very generous private donor who is bankrolled in this and we are going to train our journalism firepower on a single-minded project which is to showcase the vital role in this case the vital role that Native American women from Oklahoma the most nutrient dense tribal community in America we have four federally recognized tribes in Nebraska they have 39 so we are taking 12 of our best students enrolling them in a three semester class with a great deal of private donor money and they are going to burrow in and reconstruct and show people the vital role that Native American women women have played in sustaining and enriching Native culture throughout the millennium and so I talk about that as we go and that that's a whole separate what's happened with that is just unbelievable I mean if you you look across the literary landscape and there's a gaping hole about magazines books videos anything that have to do with Native American women and we eventually we were very competitive getting the first grant from Carnegie night because there were 125 journalism schools who were buying for $125,000 they were only going to give five and so we told them the day before they were to make the decision they were the board was meeting in New York hey why don't you do this during the lunch hour fan out across New York pick ten strangers at random and ask them to name three days and if they can we will withdraw our application if they can't you owe us a hundred twenty five thousand dollars well they couldn't we could we got the money and here we go here we go and the response to this from Native American women has just been beyond anything that we've ever experienced and so now we're we've done 180 dollars magazine and now we're doing a second focusing just on the Native American women of Oklahoma and we leave for Oklahoma a week from tomorrow we leave for Oklahoma on Thursday October 11th and we will take all of the students in the class all 15 of us and we'll spend six days on the ground we're interviewing that's what they're doing now they're setting up really amazing interviews with the husband of Wilma Mann killer for example she's deceased but she's the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation the largest tribe in Nebraska a very powerful powerful person a very close friend of Gloria Steinem's Gloria Steinem set with Wilma Mann killer in her room the last week of her life and held her hand until she died she's going to provide an essay for us about her relationship with Wilma Mann killer we're going to be talking to artists and poets and teachers and doctors and we're going to put all of this in a beautiful 150 page full-color magazine we're gonna have a our documentary we're gonna have a major website and we are going to try and use this as a primary educational vehicle into as many classrooms as possible so that that 16-year-old girl who's on the cusp who has a fork in the road and can turn left and become a gruesome statistic in the paper or turn right and become the next Wilma Mann killer we want to do everything we can to nudge her to take that right turn and not the left turn and that will be the overarching goal of this magazine so glorious role models oh incredible role models you don't just spend much time on reservations to know that that's one of the most serious problems that exists on American Indian reservation is the lack of role models so since they can all go to Oklahoma and chat with a Joy Harjo or a Dr. Henrietta Mann or Wilma Mann killer's husband we're going to take all of their stories and we're going to bring them to the reservation student in Walla Walla Washington or in Southern California or in northern Wisconsin or Western Nebraska wherever they may be so when preacher Joe goes from town to town he's he's got three main objectives to spread the word on the standing very good book to let people know that there's a way they can help send Nebraska Native American high school graduates on to further education and then also there is this magnificent effort on the part of Nebraska public high school graduates to do something lasting and motivational and inspirational for native students all over the United States wow it's fabulous well it's it's a lot of fun I think students are you know they're changing with each week there we're making them do a blog every week and talking about how when they first started this class they were clueless really American women were all about now we discovered that one of the students in the class actually has native blood and she got so excited about the class and she started talking to her parents and her father had always heard that there might be native blood somewhere so he started going on ancestry.com because of his daughter's enthusiasm now they discovered that they think that they're pretty sure they have some chock-chock blood that some of their family came from parts of Mississippi and Georgia so you know what's not to like.

I'm sitting here thinking you're such a good storyteller and you've got all this going on how are you still writing yourself are you still able to do this for all this activity well what I am still doing and not as much as I I should be doing or would like to be doing but you know you can only spread yourself so thin and stay off of psychotropic medicine and what I am working on is another book project that is to me is every those exciting is standing where it's kind of the other side of the gender highway it's another story about a courageous Nebraska it's another story about a Nebraska Native American it's another story that has all of these universal themes to it and again if I can apply enough time to doing this right it should be another really magnificent story not because I'm writing it because this person lived it it's a story about a woman that may resonate with many people her name is Dr. Susan LaFlesh Dr. Susan LaFlesh Peacock and Susan LaFlesh Peacock was born in an animal skin teepee on July 17th 1865 the waning weeks of the Civil War in a remote corner of Northeast Nebraska not far from where this man was living and she was born in a buffalo high teepee in 1865 and 24 years later she graduated from the Philadelphia School of Medicine and became the first female Native American doctor in the history of the United States so tracking how does somebody born in a Buffalo high teepee in rural Nebraska in 1865 how did they become a doctor 24 years later competing against the daughters of all the Braumans on the East Coast and I'm guessing that one of Makers daughter in Philadelphia had a better high school chemistry class than Susan did and yet Susan she graduated number one in her class she didn't just graduate she graduated as the valedictorian of her class how is that possible how is that possible I mean and that's what the book is going to explain and she became the darling of all of the people on the East Coast who you know thought she was the greatest and they were thrilled and proud to have her as their friend and they begged her to stay on East Coast where she could have had a very cushy posh life living in a beautiful Victorian home having all of the trappings of civilization and she didn't consider it for a second the reason she wanted to become a doctor was to get back to her people as soon as she could and spend the rest of her life taking care of healing their injuries sewing their wounds delivering their babies comforting them on their deathbed and that's what she did she spent the rest of her life she bought a house in Wald Hill Nebraska that still is there it's occupied by a really wonderful friend by a stabler when Dr. Susan lived there in the 1890s and early 1900s it was on a high hill in Wald Hill it's a three-story woodhouse and she would hang a yellow lantern outside the house so that in fierce blizzards or summer thunderstorms anybody in need of medical help would be able to find her house and the last years of her life she had horrendous bone cancer and if you read her letters if you read the accounts of how debilitating and painful this was and she still would not allow herself to lay in bed day after that she would force herself to get in the buggy go over these bouncing rolling hills to deliver and she was able to organize the Omaha people politically she was able to give them an economic backbone and she treated them as a doctor all the while often with this horrible disease so it's another one of those stories that has a great inspirational kick to it that you you can overcome all kinds of obstacles you have an obligation to your family to your country to your people and that comes before physical pleasure so she's just another great role model and I look forward to the day when I'll have more time to devote to telling that story we tell during your career you've covered lots of big stories you have a earlier book yes what was it that drew your interest to what my virtue of growing up in Nebraska is that's the lead don't I mean I think that nobody really knows what clicks in a person I mean I don't know you all have hobbies you all have passions where did that come from do you can you definitively say the only thing I can say an answer to your question about what triggered this interest was it began at a very early age there's this huge native footprint that's been left in Nebraska I mean wherever you go there's some remnant of the people who preceded our ancestors and the impact they had here just from the from the word Nebraska all of the Indian names that you see you can't really escape it and for whatever reason it's something that clicked at a very early age for me and it's never stopped clicking it was easy to fantasize I mean when you're eight or nine or ten years old I remember we were going to the Black Hills and going through the Pine Ridge Reservation somewhere around eight or nine and you know I wanted to be just left there I just wanted my parents told me just leave me here in coming pick me up in a week or something I want to go see the old Black Hills it seemed like the best possible life for a nine-year-old boy you got to sleep in a tent you got to shoot a gun you got to shoot a bow and arrow you got to go swimming you got to ride a horse you get to set start fires without anybody calling the police right I mean what could be better than that you know I was furious at my parents for not being Indians but you know I in recent years I've forgiven them for that you know they can get a little more sophisticated and you start reading you start reading crazy or strange man this photo olives or black elk speaks or you know hundreds and hundreds of son of the morning star endless books on this topic you know by and by you you know one of your passions is history Native Americans and writing so they luckily have all merged and produced two books and I probably got 75 percent of the research the doctor Susan so just by virtue of growing up in the West place like you get introduced to that and it started clicking at an early age and it's time to stop what led you to your interest in writing is there a teacher is a particular author yeah I don't really know the answer to that I've just always liked to write I've always loved words I don't know where that came from I have no idea wasn't a specific teacher it's it's just again something that clicked at a very early age and I like the sound of words I like the way you could arrange words in a sentence and I the more you you immerse yourself in words and writing and language the more interesting it becomes and my students don't know this yet but towards the end of the semester there's a tremendous connection between good writing and good music and we're gonna spend a whole four-hour block just really burrowing into that whole notion you know that the the writer has many of the same tools as a composer does they have quarter notes and eight notes and full notes and they can control the flow of the sound you know sometimes it speeds up sometimes music slows down sometimes it comes to a crescendo and then it's it's softer it rises it falls you can do all of the same things with writing and the writer has tools he has dashes semicolons colons periods commas short sentences long sentences and if you use those right you can create music on the page in a very similar way that composers create a musical score and I want to show them different writers Hemingway's music is totally different than Fock's and they both were great musicians on the page and there's a way to really stop that in its tracks and and show the difference between one man's music and another man's I got an email oh I don't know sometime in the last year from a reader of the book in Portland and he sent me an email saying how much you liked the book and he said oddly enough what I really liked particularly about the book was the first paragraph and you know that is a really sophisticated observation and I wrote it back and I said well I'm really I'm really glad to hear that because it took me two days to write the first paragraph and I could go on for an hour just explain I mean what's what I was trying to do with that paragraph and it has a lot to do with what I just said there is a certain mood or a certain feeling that you can convey in that opening paragraph and every single word leads towards the feeling that you want to give the reader and the feeling that I wanted to give the reader was hey go pour another cup of hot chocolate go through another log in the fire go pour another you know shot a whiskey or whatever but it's this is a story and I want you to sit down and sit by the fire and have your toddy and just get ready to ease into to a story to a story and there's a way to convey that and you have to spend a lot of time feeling the words before you can actually write them and for this book before I wrote I went up and I found a nice spot of the Niagara River and I sat there for two or two and a half hours and I did nothing but just listen to the sound of the Niagara River and it was that sound that sound that very steady current and that's what the Niagara River is about I mean it's it because of all it's a really unique ecological free show in a way because it has this very sustained current all year around summer winter spring and fall and that's because it draws on a lot of underground water supplies and all of these network of tributaries but it has this very constant flow and so I just sat there for two two and a half hours and I just wanted the flow and sound of that to be stamped on my brain so when I went home the next day or the day after that and clicked on the computer for the first time to start writing the book that that feeling and that sensation of the the sound that that water made would be very fresh and I could somehow capture that sound and get it on this electronic computer that would eventually get onto this page that would eventually lead someone to say what I really like was your first paragraph so it's a very kind of interesting process so Joe would you read that first paragraph for us or I guess any paragraph you want but now you've got me intrigued you know there's a lot going on in that first paragraph at least the goal was there's a lot going on in this first paragraph without you necessarily knowing that you're feeling sometimes it's important that the reader feels more than they understand and that sometimes cadence and rhythm can be more important than content and in fact sometimes cadence and rhythm are the content are the content that's that would take me a while to explain but yeah yeah the chapter one is entitled on the banks of the running water and the running water was the Indian translation of the Indian name the Ponca word for the nine of red translated the swift running water so chapter one is entitled excuse me on the banks of the running water somewhere along the flanks of the great river not far from the valley once fleshed with buffalo beaver bald eagles and yellow shafted flickers where two centuries ago the captain explores looked out and saw both America's past and future somewhere near these rugged chalk bluffs like the bums of a father and son and there's a lot going on in that paragraph and it's foreshadowing it's foreshadowing a lot of different things it's foreshadowing the rhythm and the cadence of the sentence it's foreshadowing the place that sense of place is a powerful character in this book it's foreshadowing that history has a place in this story and it has a little whiff of mystery to it lie the bones of the father and son what is that all about what does that mean so I don't know whether or not it means that I to spend two days on that I don't know what that says but I can just I can say that hey it took two days to write that no problem yeah no problem with that concept in the writing of this I mean I think the first paragraph kind of answers it some people would say well the book could actually end after the trial after it happens but you can come back to where the bones of the father and son are very then it just seems to me what were your considerations were you trying to finish out his story yes I mean you're trying to be a full life a full life and that life didn't end on the second floor of a monolithic limestone courthouse on the corner of 15th and Dodge Street so that may have been the high point from our viewpoint from an American viewpoint if you were to thread the story into like an EKG and you can monitor the peaks and valleys that's where it peaks from a literary standpoint this dramatic moment when standing there addresses the courtroom as the last speaker of the trial but if you're trying to develop a full life his story doesn't end there his life doesn't end there and what happened after it is very important too and what happened after it was he and this magnificent there are so many people you couldn't make these people up I mean you couldn't make up this this this constellation of characters orbiting standing there each one of those you could you could have picked off and you still could pick off and do you could do a biography of George Crook that would be sensational you could do a biography of bright eyes the Omaha Indian poet interpreter be spectacular you could do a biography of Thomas Henry Timmels this kind of wild man crusading journalist you could do a biography of the judge younger Dundee you can do a book of Andrew Jackson Popples and the lawyer you could do legitimate biographies on each of those people who were swirling about so what was interesting after this verdict in May of 1879 was the East Coast speaking to you know that standing bearer Thomas Henry Timmels bright eyes and bright eyes brother Francis also known as wood worker the four of them and their travels up and down the East Coast before these huge crowds of white Americans it was kind of the first it was kind of manifest destiny and reverse you know instead of all the white people going west to bring civilization to the continent to the Indian it was the Indian going east to kind of bring civilization to all the white people you know look we are we are people I am a man and it was kind of an interesting again an interesting irony of the story instead of white people going west for for reasons that involve Indians Indians were going east to educate white people and so that part of the book is as important that part of the story is important because interesting things happened and it's all part of American history it's all a part of our our it's all a part of our narrative it's all a part of our narrative of what happened when standing there and bright eyes and Timmels all went to the East Coast and had dinner with some of the wealthy elite of the East Coast that's all an important part of our narrative and it's what allows us to see by studying the past it allows us to see it helps us to see who we are today if we know who we were yesterday it helps explain who we are today and it helps foreshadow who we're going to be tomorrow and so this this has a very in America another reason why this story needed to continue beyond just the climactic problem in the trial is that it's my observation that American justice does not come in blinding St. Paul on the road to Damascus lightning bolts just because Rosa Parks didn't give up her chair in December her seat on the bus in December of 1955 it didn't mean that the next week there was a major civil rights legislation that wiped out segregation in the South you know that American justice is kind of delivered in fits and starts and verse and two steps forward and one step backward and standing bearer started it he was the lead domino for legal and social justice for Native Americans this decision occurred in May of 1879 did that mean that Indians overnight were also granted the same constitutional protections that the more fortunate white race was in the judges words no did it mean they got the right to vote a mirror five years later no but it's took that first step on this kind of long torturous highway that has been our history you look at what's happening now I mean there's all kinds of attempts to change of voting patterns in various states that you need to have a certain kind of ID because there's so much voter fraud which is all alive it's all alive there is no massive there's nobody who can prove that there is a massive voter fraud going on out there and yet the laws are trying to be tweaked there was a time during the earlier this the decade of the 2000s where there was some attempt to deprive certain prisoners of having the ability to have a run of habeas corpus and this story has many things to teach us one of which is it's a great strength of our country that we allow almost anybody to have access to our courts and to have their day in court and if we start closing the doors to certain people because we don't like them this door could have been this door was closed to dread Scott just 20 years earlier this is this is dread Scott only it's an American Indian anyone but 20 years earlier it was a black man who tried to get his freedom from a federal court and the Chief Justice of the United States ruling against dread Scott said that a Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect that's a direct quote well 20 years later an American Indian comes into the same federal court system and he is declared one the government has no legal right to hold him he's a free man he is now to be regarded as a person within the law and he is also to be given the same 14th Amendment protection as all Americans so it took 20 years and we have to be very careful about making sure that we understand how powerful of value it is and how it undergirds this notion that we are a world leader because we do allow all manner of people to have a sense of justice a sense of justice so when people in Pennsylvania are trying to gin gin up the game of voting to disqualify a certain strata of American society from the most basic of all rights then you you need to get out of your barcode lounge or do something about it and and and mercifully from my standpoint a judge in Pennsylvania did that yesterday struck down the whole crackpot notion that you have to jump through 18 hoops in order to vote no you don't know you don't so that's I think of the message is the access to court the access to dealing like you have you're a stakeholder in your own country and I think that's one of the powerful messages of this book is the whole issue of justice I mean it is standing bears journey for justice and I think it's a great book I hope that all of you there listening to this I've either read it and enjoyed it or planning to read it before the end of the year or you know if you don't get to it for the end of the year you can still read it talking about it this year I'd be remiss if I didn't mention and I know there's not much time left but I do want to

I'm sorry. I couldn't even make it like three seconds into this thing without making fun of you For using no less. This is actually the Linux cast We're supposed to be using Linux to record this but loser over there is not actually using Linux I don't know what the hell's wrong with him. It's gonna be one of those days where I just make Incredible fun of Tyler. I'm Matt. He's Tyler. He's using a Mac. What the hell is he using a Mac for Matt? What the hell are you using a Mac for explain to us? Well, my graphics card died and sort of the power supply And so it was going to be more expensive to get those two parts to fix my main machine compared to this M1 Mac and I had a buddy talk me into it and he's like Because I mean Well, he he is more of an Apple user in general Which I I should have known better, but I was like, yeah I'll go ahead and give it a shot because I can't go return it if I don't like it and Even though I can't run Linux on it and I'm not the biggest fan of Mac really all I want to get done is work in Blender and work on my game and it has Amaze me in what it can do it can handle me running like Blender and Unity Streaming all at the same time running my game at 60 FPS If not a little bit of stuttering which I can't fault it for it's literally emulating both Unity and Blender and OBS so it's It's pretty good and it's surprised me that Apple has made a price competitive product That being said, I'd love to get a Linux on it. That's I just Using a Mac Like I'm still 20 minutes ago still kind of like stuck on that point that you're using a Macintosh right now Do you to record a Linux podcast? It's it's sacrilegious. Yeah, it's a class for me I feel like people have been burning the steak for this So I would ask you what you've been doing on Linux this week, but obviously you haven't done shit on Linux No, it's it's also been I haven't Almost even used a computer in a week I've just been using my phone and getting a lot of like caught up on a lot of housework because When my those parts died initially, I thought it was my motherboard That was the problem and then got the new motherboard and it's not the problem further diagnosis led to it's the power supply and graphics card, so Yeah Well, so we can't ask you what you're doing. I've been doing on Linux this week is dying because I Installed pipe wire on this machine. Okay, so I'm blaming that a little bit But mostly I plugged in an Elgato cam like two weeks ago to try to record Some fedora for the channel on my laptop, you know recording over here and ever since that point things have just been fucking up left and right so The audio has I mean is been horrible because it Keep switching between input sources for whatever reason so I go to record a video and I get through halfway through the video And I realized the entire time. I've not been recording on this microphone. That actually sounds really good You know it costs lots of money You know it's been recording on this crappy ten-year-old microphone from the webcam. It's the Like come on Linux Linux you're 40 years old. Okay, it's time to grow up It's time to get audio that works and pipe wire is not this loop. We'll talk about pipe wire That's the main topic for this week, but I Mean we had our own problems last week We recorded this episode once already on someone who's using pipe wire and OBS crashed and so We didn't have Tyler's audio last week So I had my own problems with audio because my audio was like really low And it sounded like jackass over there using the Mac was fucking Was shouting in the microphone and I could not get the audio lo so we record this We recorded this last week So that was the audio prompts and then I'm also been having video prompts like every time I open up OBS There's no video. There's none Like it feels like something else is using you know how when something else is using your webcam and OBS won't show up The video it's like that only there's nothing else using the webcam I have to shut OBS down and open it back up for the webcams to show up. It's the dumbest thing It's driving me bonkers and and just to be clear. You're not using Wayland, right? No, no, no I'm on DWM in arch like using. Yeah, you know X or so it's It has none to do it like The thing is It's almost certainly come though the video thing almost has to be a compositor problem Because I've been having a compositor issue with pycom where sometimes my The stuff on the screen just kind of a casus seizure for like five seconds and like everything that jumps around like it's Being electrocuted. It's really weird It's it's just Don't use Linux use Mac The thing we need to talk about it. This is so dumb. I Haven't had this many Linux problems ever like I Like everyone talks when you first switch to Linux you have problems because you don't know tell you're doing I never had those issues, you know, the biggest issue I had when I first switched to links was the you We the UEFI shit, right and I had to do with Linux I was just me trying to figure out how to switch from you yet UEFI to legacy BIOS, right? That was the biggest issue I ever had Now, I mean I had other issues that were me caused by me being a dumbass, but those have never had anything to do with Linux This time Yeah, it's just it's been a whole week like a week and a half of just nothing working right and I Used to when this start like when I when I would have a problem that Came from an update or something like that. I just think I fuck it. I'm going to go through. I'm a new campaign I'm gonna put something else. I'm a distro hop. I've tried so hard not to do that because I like my setup right now I have you know all my window managers installed. I have all my dot files their way one to go to I have all the apps I need it's so good, but there's these little things right now that are just pissing me off and nothing's working, right? It's almost driven me to switch to a Mac Just kidding about that. I'd never do that At least one of us We can't we can't both leave now We'd have to change the name of the channel. Oh, we'd have to for sure Mac cast. I'm sure that already exists Well, I the one thing I will say though is I don't know if it's it may be something to do with Arch because for the first time ever Right before my computer had all of its complete issues. I tried installing Arch going from Fedora back to Arch and After the most like recent update where they added like multiple downloads and you know stuff like that Pi com was just I mean like Not working at all for me like I had it installed and I was you know executing it through my excellent RC file and It just like it. It was like it didn't exist And there was I can't remember what the other issue that I was having was but there was another just small quirk That wasn't working right after the latest update But I will say one thing with our should normally when that stuff happens just the next day if you update it's fixed So I have 220 updates waiting for me right now I'm kind of scared to update because I'm just worrying something's gonna go break because I've seen Some chatter in the telegram group for Arco where they're having some problems like I don't know if I want to update right now or not Especially when I'm already having issues, but I will say this the the simultaneous downloads in Pac-Man. Oh, so good Yeah, it's so good. I guess I saw the program. I was like Usually I would have to you know, I go back to my browser you go to back to a youtuber Whatever wait for it to die. I was like it's done like what wait what? It's so good But if it's like I've got fast internet here and with with those multiple downloads like fast internet makes me feel like I've got fiber I'm like, yeah, it looks like I was like I've got pios in this bitch, right? All right, so that was the weekend Mac as or as Tyler's meant to call it I'm let's go ahead and jump to the the Whatever the hell we call it the contact information God, this is horrible You can follow us on Twitter at the Linux cast you can subscribe to all of our audio feeds and all that kind of stuff It's a Linux cast at org that will eventually be a website I'm just a lazy bastard. Haven't gotten around to it. You can follow you can contact us on email The links cast at gmail.com again eventually will have a proper email address again much too lazy Facebook.com slash Linux cast you can follow Tyler on all of his stuff on Odyssey and YouTube links will be in the video description or in the Show notes and you can subscribe to us on YouTube at youtube.com slash Linux cast also link in the Description and you can support us on patreon at patreon.com slash the Linux cast so Each and every week we choose two news links one each and This week is no different. So Tyler. Why don't you go ahead and tell us what your news link is? Well, my news link hasn't changed from the original one that I put in there when we try to record it the first time but it's Linux Mint adds bulk adds a bulk rename tool and Also improved file search Which I just thought the bulk rename tool was a pretty neat feature for new users I mean like let's be honest Linux Mint very much is targeted towards new Linux users and In small tools like this Are great for new users because when you're when you're not an advanced, you know user and you're also on a new platform Like Linux that you're unfamiliar with easy to use Tools like this for you know when you're doing those bigger or more specific tasks Are great and I can attest to one thing Mac has a Much worse file system and does not have nifty tools like this just built-in I was talking about it before we started pressing record before we pressed record and started but In Mac, I don't know out of the default like maybe some crazy Mac user can explain why this is a thing But they default the file system or file browser to where you can just Create files and store them anywhere and you can stack them over one another There's no organization or like grid or anything to the file browser from the get-go That is the dumbest thing and it's so annoying and you have to manually select like sort by a grid in Every single folder on your system. There's a whole bunch of things about Mac that I I'm not a big fan of and I think Linux Mint For those people out there who are considering a Linux Istro Yeah, Linux has a much better file system than Mac, especially than Windows. So What do you what's your opinion on this article here, all right, so I think it's probably a good thing But it also reminds me of why I don't care for the mint developers are much. They always seem to duplicate efforts so much Always trying to do something new that doesn't really need to be done. So like Their file manager is called Nemo. I love Nemo. I think it's the best file manager, but it didn't need to exist Thunar exists, right? They could have forked Thunar and just made Nemo out of that and you know done some their own stuff But it doesn't seem like they did that it seems like they did Nemo from the ground up But the reason why I say Thunar is because Thunar comes with a bulk file manager It's not built in it's like a separate application. It just every time you install Thunar you get this thing I don't understand and this is not that this is actually something that they built from the ground up Or at least that's what this article says and I just don't understand. I don't understand their need to Duplicate effort. I mean, it's a big problem in all of Linuxdom, you know where developers just like well, I don't like really what you're doing. So I'm gonna do this thing from the ground up like Fine You're perfectly okay doing that, but it seems like a waste of time Especially especially good. Yeah, good. Well like for big developers like Linux Mint like when you're catering to a huge community Duplicating effort like that. It's just like everyone views your time It like whether or not the developers view their time as valuable the community views their time as valuable and when you're spending that valuable time making something that you could have just Copied from somewhere like I mean, it's it's free software. That's what it's there for copy it do what you want to do to it In much shorter time and they go about your life Like I would understand like this is why I preach on them to switch to LMDE is the primary Because at least that they want to create something original, right? And while yes, you're gonna still be basing on Debian It What you're doing when you're basing yourself on Ubuntu is just you're you're basing yourself on a copy of a copy Like Ubuntu itself is based on Debian If Linux Mint was based themselves on Debian and built their stuff from the ground up like they seem to want to do They should just do it, you know, you know, it would be it There'd be a painful transition period because it's not quite there yet And it doesn't have the support of canonical behind it, you know Because canonical does all the snaps and all that kind of stuff and but Linux make it doesn't use the snap store Anyways, they use what I think they use flat packs but No matter it's it just always feels like they're Focused thing their development time on things that they don't really need to do Because everything like that kind of just it exists and if you have other ideas like you said Fork it and make it your own, you know And unless it's like completely Different than I mean it'd be different if this bulk rename tool did something other than what other book renamed tools did But it doesn't it just walk renames files. That's all it does. Yeah, right It doesn't it's not as if you've come up with some kind of special sauce, you know That does this thing better than all the others. It's not I mean, maybe it's a little bit faster But again, you could afford something that was already there made it your own and slapped your name on it I mean, that's what they seem to want to do, you know That'd be fine. It just It's this kind of thing that always you know, I don't know if I really like mint, you know, I like I like I like the cinnamon desktop, but Again, since the cinnamon desktop All right, so at least with the cinnamon desktop it feels like they took What's good about mate and made it modern like it makes it feel like there was a purpose behind the cinnamon desktop, right? But with some of the other stuff it just it feels like complete duplication of effort and It's some kind of just like I don't know if I want to even be around those guys that their weirdness might you know Spread It's it's just very good. Like I've never really thought about it that way, but you're you're very right like what they choose to be unique about is It makes no sense. Like if you if you want to be completely unique do your own thing from the ground up Wouldn't you start with like the foundation of your distribution? Not just the small little programs that everyone's going to use all the time That most likely has already been implemented for like 20 years. Yeah, and you know Yeah, oh dear Linux mint. You want to do something original fix audio on Linux Like dude Go fix audio on Linux. Everybody would love you. I mean seriously, they would have your babies Seriously, I don't like Audio is broken on Linux. I mean for them We know that well at least audio works for the most part like we can use it Okay, we're using audio right now, but there are so many of these little problems that just break for everyone from time to time Go out there. Linux meant fix it. Okay? We will love you forever But it's not every shrines built seriously, we will worship you like the gods But they don't do that. They they make IPTV applications and they make Belk rename stuff that you know, I Have my problems with the Fedora people and the guys behind you know and pipe wire and Wayland I I I can understand why Wayland exists. I can understand why pipe where I guess I don't think and we're gonna talk about this later I don't think that they're going about the right way with pipe wire, but at least them They're taking problems that we know exists and they're fixing it not so much with genom But with why a little wayland and and pipe wire, right, you know With the Linux mint they just like we're gonna take something that already exists perfectly works perfectly fine make our own version of it and spend time doing that and Ignore the other props that Linux seems to have like like put your development I mean it'd be different if they were just regular developers like if they were just like like you said I mean they're running Linux is probably the second biggest Linux distribution out there in terms of Linux users Like obviously Ubuntu has all of them and then there's gonna be like that. Those are the for this for new users It's very very big and it You're right. It does feel like we value their time more than they do Mm-hmm, and it also seems to piss like that the Clem guy who runs it It feels like this stuff kind of stuff always pisses him off Like he always is getting so mad at Ubuntu and and you know All this other stuff and people not doing their updates and something like well That's good to be mad about it, but don't do I mean you're leading the team man Don't let them focus on this kind of stuff. Let them focus on the big stuff All right. Anyways I'm getting very worked up and it's all your fault because you're using a Mac Of course all right, so My News thing for this week if I can actually get this thing up here Yeah, is that Firefox 89 arrived with the quote-unquote from OMG Ubuntu a controversial new look so I'm actually gonna not show I'm showing the article on screen right now, but I'm actually going to change to Firefox right now with no cameras on screen so you can just see this what we talk Just for a minute And this is what Firefox looks like now and then I'm gonna switch back to this the split because I don't know if The audio will actually work They don't know if I have the proper audio sources set up on that particular scene and I don't want to mess that up But yeah, so it's Firefox has a brand new design. It's pissed a lot of people off some people kind of like it I still use user Chrome CSS, so I don't give a shit. I don't give any shits. It still looks fine for me I have other problems with Firefox Mainly that it doesn't actually Browse the web properly anymore, but Like you have one job and you have one job But yeah, so there's this they got these gigantic ass tabs up at the top if you use this without and you know any CSS tweaking and it is It's pretty ugly Yeah, I think that they're trying to do this to differentiate themselves from Chrome to make it look completely different But I gotta tell you Firefox the reason why people aren't using Firefox has nothing to do with what you look like Yeah Literally, so I'm using Firefox right now because good lord. I mean Safari works, but barely I'm not I don't have any problems with the new UI I Don't I mean I think the older version looked better, but either way I don't have really a promise just different in my opinion But you hit the head the nail on the head there It doesn't matter the the UI is the least of my worries when it comes to fire I mean if I had a problem with the UI I could like you said you see us I can change it It's it's not that big of a deal the the problem with Firefox has to do with everything that they're choosing to do as a corporation like That's really it Firefox doesn't need a UI change Firefox needs a clear direction and Make it known fire about 500 people including like the CEO and all those executives and go back to being just a browser company That's what they need to do every time we talk about Firefox. We talk about how How does this how does this come corporation? employee a thousand people like what is Like I don't understand like They give they they make they make no money right? We know this they make $0 right in fact they make negative dollars is what they make Somehow they end up losing money even though they get four hundred million dollars every ten years from Google and they take that money and They do a redesign every four years That seems to be where they spend their money and they say they also seem to Like I'm really happy that the thousand people who work for Mozilla have jobs. I'm never one to say you want to know what Let's not give these people jobs. Let's kick them out on their asses. Like I don't really want to be that guy but Mozilla is perhaps the most important foundation when it comes to open source software. It's it's it may be the one corporate one foundation, you know one I'm gonna call it a corporation, but whatever, you know, it's it's the one entity in open source That has the chance to spread open-source software Beyond Linux and all this like Linux itself is never gonna get below above five percent market shares It's never going to happen, you know, you know Other things that are open source and stuff like it's always going to be very small but Firefox had the opportunity to be The bastion of open source for normal people because people want different options other than chrome. I mean At least technological people they want something other than chrome or at least at one point. They wanted that, right? Yeah, they've lost that opportunity and The way they're running right now, they have no chance of getting the opportunity back because they're focused on weird shit You know, they're focused on the stuff that doesn't matter Let's start let's start a VPN like I understand the need to figure out how to get a different revenue stream other than Google but All right tomorrow, I'm going to be the CEO of Firefox. My first task is going to be really hard I'm gonna fire a ton of people like everybody that is Unnecessarily, you're gonna be gone. I'm sorry. I'm gonna write you glowing right letters. Are you taking a salary cut? Yeah Pay me a hundred thousand dollars, man. I'm good. I don't need to be paid four million dollars a year No, I don't get me wrong. I want four million dollars a year, but a hundred thousand dollars perfectly fine That's good money. You want it fine. You want to know what you don't want to get paid a hundred thousand dollars a year fine $200,000 a year double it, you know that even that's still acceptable. I guess fine I think she makes like two million. I think it was I think it's I think it's her I don't even know I can remember what the CEO's name is it doesn't matter. All I know is that pissed me off They like two point three million dollars. I think was their salary something some crazy number Thank you. Oh, come on. That's reasonable. No, I'm sure she has to work Really hard for that money that she didn't earn Like your your corporation makes no money. You don't get to pay yourself that amount of money You just don't okay? Okay, I'm just I understand you have kids to feed whatever you don't need that much money to feed your kids Wal-Mart is perfect I don't even think Octo mom needs that much money to feed her kids You know if it been five hundred thousand dollars a year I mean, yeah, it seems a little excessive, but I don't think anybody would care about five hundred dollars a year But you're a CEO of the biggest right open-source browser that in existence, right? So five hundred K fine, so I'm the CEO to I'm sorry tomorrow I'm cutting my my salary down to a hundred K, you know fine. I'm to me a hundred thousand dollars a year So I'm got some money to spend You know, I guess that's great. I made 20 K last year. I'm bumping that up by five, you know Yeah, so maybe maybe it's my perspective this thing like a hundred thousand dollars is perfectly fine But you know whatever Even if you're living in New York at a hundred thousand dollars a year you can pay your rent buy buy groceries still have money to save and I mean depending on how many kids you have if you've got plenty of kids then that might be tight But you're not gonna be living like Donald Trump. Okay? Yeah, yeah, but but you're not starving and you're not in some run-down And a hundred thousand dollars you make more than the vast majority of people on the in this country It vast majority of people in the world but anyways Pick up number one fire like 80% of the people like at Mozilla right like day one like I'm sorry I'm running. I'm running your recommendations You know But you're gone. Sorry. We don't need you. We do a browser 200 people to code a browser Plenty of people. Okay, I know that's cutting the workforce by like, you know, 70% Once that's done get rid of every single Extraneous project that isn't named Firefox like every one of them Like I'm pretty sure Thunderbirds already on its own But any other projects that we don't know about because they're there We just don't know about them. Get rid of them the VPN everything. It's gone. Okay Those are the those are the restructuring things that I do day one and then those 200 people that are left Make me a browser That browses the internet, okay This is the one job you have to do. Okay, make me a browser that browses the internet The same as Chrome does but isn't Chrome. Okay, I don't want to be using blink But I just want you to go through and make sure that it's completely compatible with everything that blink does In an open way, you know and just do that focus on that Don't go through and redesign the damn tabs. We don't need you to read that design the tabs. It's so dumb. I Get so upset with Firefox. I Think the only thing that I would add on to that I don't know if you just weren't thinking about this and would definitely add this on but I'm definitely gonna say a Part of that plan would be after you've removed those those employees because you have to think some of them are gonna have Severances like severance packages stuff like that. So you're gonna have to go to the board and be like, okay, look so We're technically sort of losing money right now But this is a huge marketing push because what we're gonna do after all these people are gone We are just focusing on the browser and we're gonna make a massive PR marketing campaign about us cutting like cutting extraneous projects and just focusing on making the best browser possible Make a good browser and then buy some TV time with that four hundred million dollars, you know You know, we never see is an advertisement for Firefox You're right, you know, you never see an advertisement for flex for you Let's screw everything. I just said Even if Firefox is just the way it is. Let's take some of the money and advertise for it now You know, mm-hmm. I like I'm like that's the one thing Linux doesn't had do Yeah, all very good Like I actually doesn't do it at all. It's just period. It doesn't do marketing Like if you used it just a little just a tiny bit of Margaret marketing for for Firefox people would you know go check it out? They may not stick around but some of them would you know, like I'm a stupid guy. Okay, like I can tell you that my I keep my my Intelligence is definitely not on par with like Einstein or whatever. I think I don't have that kind of ego I'm well aware of my limitations, but it feels like and maybe this is just arrogance on my part, but it feels like Solving Firefox's problems at least What I perceive as their problems is would be so easy these these things seem so obvious to me, but Apparently they're not that obvious them because they're too busy paying the CEO millions of dollars a year to do what? I'm not exactly sure. I'm sure they have like a COO and a CTO and all an entire board of executives that make millions of dollars And that's where the four hundred thousand four hundred million dollars every ten years is going like it's not going to the average Firefox developer He probably gets paid 60 or $70,000 a year Like you can make way much way more money going to Google and that's probably what most of them end up doing And I think that's sort of the problem We're we're talking about fire fought Firefox playing the long game and they're playing the short game How do we how do we pay like our employees and our board of directors and all that stuff the most money this year? Yeah, and that shouldn't be the focus Way too much time on fire We've been going for a half an hour already this is gonna be an hour and a half show we haven't even got to the main What it was even what yeah, yeah, the next the next topic is pipe where so We set ourselves a challenge We were both going to install fedora which we did and we both decided to use pipe wire At least some amount of time for a week and it's actually ended up being two weeks for me. You're using a Mac Remind everybody that you're using a Mac Can't forget I am a trader, but he did he did install Fedora I know he did because he's made videos about it and showed stuff but So that was our challenge was to use pipe wire on a computer for some amount of time for a week It like it ended up being two weeks for me and we've had we've had some Experiences with it. So your experience was pretty good. So why don't you tell us about your experience with pipe wire? Yeah, my experience with pipe wire was on Fedora Using Wayland as well and it was a it was it was good everything just worked The only issues I had with pipe wire were the same sort of issues I had with pulse except just I Didn't have the extra issues that came, you know randomly with pulse, but the The audio levels or like my settings for the audio devices being either Reset or just their audio levels not being exactly where I put them after a reboot That was still there, but other than that it worked I Don't know if pipe wire was the reason OBS crashed while we were recording, but it I mean OBS was working with pipe wire. I was able to record audio It it just it worked So pipe wire was good for me on Fedora Tell me your experience. I will start there as well pipe wire was good for me on Fedora And I actually have been using it pretty Fedora, I still have Fedora on my laptop. I've still been using it and I love how good it does it connecting Bluetooth Devices like it will it text my Bluetooth headphones connect some like on pulse You always have to go through and like go get into pulse the pulse the PAV you control and change Every time you connect a Bluetooth you have to change What type of Bluetooth it is between a headset and like a high-fidelity thing you have to do that every time it doesn't remember No fun and pipe wire it remembers like you don't even have to say it just knows that you've connected headphones Obviously you connect headphones you want to listen to music You don't want to hear like a car like the car speaker or whatever. It's really bad It worked really well, and I was very very happy with that now Once you've moved away from Fedora The experience is much different now. I will say this the extra week that we had because of Problems was actually good because I did actually manage to get pipe wire working a little better So pipe wire the way pipe wire works it kind of works in conjunction with Also in pulse audio like those things don't go necessarily go away It's kind of it takes those things and it kind of like bridges everything together And it's supposed to kind of interlock them and make them work better at least on these type of systems, right and It kind of does that But installing it was a pan-ass Getting it up and running was a pan-ass And once it did get up and running things broke like crazy And I don't know whether I did something wrong, which is obviously a hundred percent possible. I mean I do things wrong all the time But once it was up and running things like the audio kept switching sources I don't know whether or not that was a pulse audio thing It was still happening or like a legacy thing or if it was the pipe wire that was going crazy And the thing is I was only ever able to use pipe wire when I was in a desktop environment Because if you want tools to change like volume and stuff like that You have to have those tools built in and all those things are all GTK or in acute right now. They're all Built into a desktop environment using it in a window manager was not an easy thing like you have to have those things installed once you have installed you can like open those things up in a DWM or whatever and it will work work ish But yeah, I Like I said, I don't know like the problems. I was having I don't know whether or not it was You know a me problem or if it is a problem with pipe wire. And so I also had problems Where in OBS every once in a while it would just like randomly switch sources Like once in a while, I just go through and be talking and then it would switch to You know like the the microphone on my camera or there was one time I think was after the last update It was playing both of them. Like you could hear both microphones going at the same time and it was It's really weird now you because you can really tell at least once you move away from Fedora That pipe wire is still very much in development It's not in something that you want to use unless you're on Fedora Because it and Fedora it worked really well But I don't know how well it would work on Fedora in like a different desktop environment because it's really really built Very like tightly integrated with the GNOME stuff So I don't I haven't had a chance to go through and actually install desktop environment different desktop D over there I wanted to try to install DWM. I just haven't had a chance yet because I'm really curious how How that would work outside of them because all this stuff is really meant to be working together and It's just when when you try to take that piece out and use it with something else at least so far in my experience It hasn't been fantastic Yeah, it's just odd like pipe wire is sort of a its own thing in that sort of regard where most programs like They're especially when it comes to Linux and FOS software they work between window managers desktop environments. I mean almost all the time without issues Pipe wire it's so weird that like if you're using Fedora Precisely the way like vanilla Fedora the way Fedora dev devs wants you to You're gonna have a fine experience. You could you try and do anything outside of the norm and You're most likely going to have some some some hard times It's it's just unique in that way. I think the biggest problem and I said this last week too is that there's the tools that support Uh pipe wire just aren't really there yet now you like Because pulse audio is technically still there you can use a lot of the pulse audio stuff But you're not meant to like At least what I can figure out is that Like in order to change the volume and stuff like that you have to go through And like you have to use your system settings to do that And then your system settings is kind of like provides a conduit for other Like widgets and stuff that go in your like in your bar or whatever that will control your volume and stuff Uh, and that stuff just doesn't exist like standalone For pipe wire like think tools like pavu control and pulse mixer and stuff like that stuff was also built for Pipe wire and I said well that stuff will technically still work at least it did for me And I'm assuming that maybe that's one of the reasons why I was still having some problems because I had all this legacy stuff Still crudding up my computer and maybe that was having some problems. I like I don't really know Uh, but it just feels like there's some tools that in development there. That's just hasn't been uh, you know It's just still being worked on like it's not it's not there yet. Um So I don't I don't see this being like this may be the future like I think we've gotten to the point now where we can pretty much say wailand is going to be the future of linux Like it's gonna it's gonna happen now that ubuntu has adopted it Like ubuntu is like the once once apple adopts something in you know the the technology world They that like they got rid of the floppy drive first then everybody got rid of the flop drive. They got rid of uh You know usb-a ports now everybody uses usb-c the same thing with the thunderbolt and all that stuff Uh canonical is kind of the same way when they adopt something Everybody else follows uh, yep So we know wailand is going to be like the future whether or not pipeware gets to that point I don't know I'm really like I understand pulse audio is like really old But why can't we just fix pulse audio? You know, like I know Like why can't I Excuse me Like I just like I'm not a developer. So I understand that my idea behind solving some of these problems and probably I'm sure it's been tried right like I'm sure they've tried to fix pulse audio And if there's just something there that's keeping them from Perfecting it because there has to be a reason why we're four to years into the linux experiment and we still haven't solved the Most basic of problems like we got the display thing down We got the x server down and that's been working for a long time like there's x org has its problems and it's old and crafty That's the reason why we're replacing with wailand. We want to be more secure on that end But for whatever reason in 40 years, we haven't been able to take the audios Thing and iron out all the problems. We just haven't been able to do it now Is it better than it used to be hell? Yes, it's better than it used to oh, yeah Oh, yeah, like you can use your computer like it's good Like yes, you come up with a little bit of problems, but every once in a while You know, it's just you come up with these stupid things like like in 40 years. We haven't been able there has to be some Reason why in 40 years. We haven't been able to you know, iron those things out whether that's like a proprietary driver thing like maybe there's like proprietary Hardware things that we just don't have access to or whatever that's causing the problems and We've had to work around it and it's buggy because it's a workaround. Maybe that's it. I like I don't know The question I have is If in 40 years we haven't been able to between also and pulse audio if we haven't been able to fix it then What makes us think that this new thing this new pipe wire thing that just sits on top of everything What makes us think that that's actually going to solve the problems that we haven't made able to fix in so long Right and and that's actually what I was going to say because as far as I know pipe wire is just like a extra layer for all sun in pulse audio like Yeah, it can like the goal is to replace pulse audio and also but I mean Right now as it stands it has to use both of those like Am I right there like even on fedora? It's using pulse audio for stuff, right? It's very confusing because it's there's some kind of like translation layers and I think it's not the right term or whatever but The way the arch wiki describes it is that it's a demon based on a framework that can be configured to use both audio Both an audio and video server that uses pulse audio and jack features So it's like taking some of the things from pulse audio and jack and like mixing them all together I I'd like to know what the dependencies for pulse audio are like I didn't pay attention when I install this Or pipe wire. I mean I'm just very curious um, because I would assume at least On arch it's going to require pulse audio But that's the thing about fedora that I don't know like is fedora doing something special where It's just not having to interact with pulse audio whatsoever. And that's why it's a little bit better experience All right, so the dependencies for pipe wire are also Um You mind show me more also libs blue libs um I don't see I don't see pulse audio on there as being a dependency um This is from the arch uh, Linux wiki But it does require also also also is there um for whatever Reason is also dependency. So but I think that is pretty much for everything But yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, all right. Um So the the question we posed was is pipe wire Ready for mainstream. So your answer would be no, right? No Yeah, that'd be my answer as well No, not quite there. It's better than I thought it would be like I was I was expecting to be a complete mess But on fedora at least it it works relatively well In ideal circumstances, right like within genome within your safe spot changing nothing No extensions any of that stuff. It works fine outside of it Your mileage may vary so Yeah, I'm sure there's going to be somebody in the comments below that knows Way more about this kind of stuff that than we do uh, which Not hard. I mean Low bar there fell out That's going to be shouting about You guys don't know anything about pipe wire. This doesn't do anything about pipe wire. You it's not a layer at all It takes over whatever If you're that person leave that comment whatever it's gonna be okay We understand we're both very much linux nubes. That's the point of the fucking podcast, you know So just just chill out. We understand. We don't know anything. Um, anyway, so uh, that is the main topic Let's go ahead and move on to picks of the week. So Uh, why don't you go ahead and go first there tyler? You've fixed all right. So mine was rpcs Three because still good names. Yep. Good names. Don't mean nothing Um, and it's a open source playstation 3 uh emulator Which is Freakin cool. Um, and the one thing about it that also intrigued so, uh For one it has a lot of games that work on it and then two It also has a it works on linux windows and bsd I was surprised that bsd It works on so that's linux and bsd. Did I hear no macintosh in there? No mac support and oh and that's just sad for you because you're using a mac Can't let me forget You better you better start lurking on that linux support there man because otherwise this is going to go on for weeks But um, yeah, it's it's really cool and um, it It's it's surprising how many games work on it. And I just didn't know that playstation 3 emulation was Here and this good. So um, yeah, um, I believe they've got I think it's like over 2000 um games That are working on it. Um, I could go through and find the compatibility page um Okay, maybe I can't but yeah If I wasn't such a horrible. Oh, yeah, okay, so playable about 2000 about 1900 playable games so Super interesting Yeah, what do you think about it? It definitely does look really cool. Um I tried to think about this last week, but I did own a place in three of them And I talked about how I tore apart and come back could put it back together. Um but I don't PlayStation 3 is weird. Like it's a generation of console that I don't really remember any of the games for Like I understand. I'm sure I played some Uncharted because Uncharted was the game It's like my favorite game of all time. Like I remember I Love that series. So I'm sure that that was one of the games that I played But I don't maybe like vice city was a get PlayStation 3 game was vice No, I think that was PlayStation 2 I think vice city was PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3. I know the PlayStation 3 had GTA 5 on it Did it yeah four No, I think it had five on it. I'm pretty sure GTA 5 was on the ps3 I don't know it. I'm sure we're getting our times completely wrong. We're probably both completely wrong I remember playing the original like Grand Theft Auto 2 on the PlayStation 1 and Grand PlayStation No, I know for a fact GTA 5 is on the ps3 I've I play it with a buddy on on his ps3. I know I know Grand Theft Auto 3 was on the PlayStation 2 Um, but after that, I don't really remember I guess I'm like I said the PlayStation 3 is just a really weird console Because I don't really remember any of the games that were on it. So And like I'm sure there was like a Gran Turismo, but After Gran Turismo 2 that which was on the PlayStation 2 I don't think I played another Gran Turismo until plate Gran Turismo 5 which was on the That might have been the PlayStation 3 Because I never had a ps4 So I had to been PlayStation 3 which was Gran Turismo 5 because I did play it and I realized, okay, you know These are the same tracks for racing that were here 10 years ago Just better graphics. All right. Anyways, uh, so um, yeah, this looks really cool. It's definitely something I'm gonna check out I haven't had a chance yet, but that's definitely something so my pick of the week Is something much more boring but basically this is a um A Text expander tool so basically what this allows you to do it's called a span so And allows you to go through and set like uh, like little shortcuts that you type in and then it will expand the text Uh to whatever you've said it like it's configured through a configuration file So it's not a gooey thing, but it runs in the background every time you type in the things that you have set It'll expand out so I have one set so that every time I type Certain thing in it'll expand out into all the Stuff I have to put into every video description. So like the the patreon and all that stuff It'll also do the it has one for the date Has one for a couple email signatures, and you know, I'm always looking for little things that I can put into it That's really cool. Um, obviously for an open source. It works really well Uh, if you're okay getting into a configuration file to set it up because if you don't If you're not comfortable getting into a dot yaml file in order to actually type in the expansion stuff Then you're kind of out of luck because unlike text expander on the macintosh, which you could use enough because you're using a mac Yeah Unlike that it this doesn't have a gooey that you can do it's all done from the command line So that's definitely going to be something that uh Now I might be in it's possible that there's like a gooey tool that actually exists and I just didn't find it But I don't think that that's true Uh, but it is available for windows And mac so if you don't want to pay for text expander, uh, you could use this instead So that is a span so and that is the podcast We did get this done in an hour Granted we spent more time on firefox and the the news items Then we did on the actual main topic, but that's okay It was a good conversation. It was actually think we did a better job this time than we did last week That's what we we should we should do this try we will one week We'll practice and then we'll come back and we'll do the actual show You know, it doesn't who cares if we're like two or three weeks late on our news item We just do it's okay If we stop this and Tyler tells me um, man, I got a problem audacity and record then I'm going to beat him over the head with his macintosh I'm sending it back if that happens Oh, there'll be a big dent on it with this with be like, uh, the in star wars when han gets like uh in the um Where he gets like frozen or whatever, you know, like he's in the middle That's how your mac's gonna look with your face in it If you tell me that hasn't been recorded yet. Okay. Anyways, that is it for us this week before I go I like taking thank our current patrons devon marcus megal and donnie spin east coast web americ camp and michael Thanks everybody for your support. Thank you for watching. We'll see you next week See ya	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ_HdXAZyAY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCV-WittrGkRyONzX6UmCaiA	Noninteractive Zero Knowledge for NP from (Plain) Learning with Errors	Paper by Chris Peikert, Sina Shiehian presented at Crypto 2019 See https://iacr.org/cryptodb/data/paper.php?pubkey=29857	null	2019-10-04T22:46:33	2024-03-04T14:20:55	1,387	VzUI3OVqFDc	Thanks for the introduction. So I will be talking about an interactive zero-knowledge for MP from learning with errors This is a joint work with Chris. Okay, so we start the talk with reviewing the definition of zero-knowledge protocols in 1985 Goldwasser Mikhaili and Rakoff Defined introduced zero-knowledge protocols. These are basically interactive protocols between a prover and the verifier And the goal is that the prover wants to convince the verifier that a certain statement is true that a certain string X is in a certain language L and we need these Protocols to have two properties one is soundness which means that if the statement is wrong if X is not in L Then a cheating prover should not be able to fool the verifier. The second requirement is zero-knowledge which says that Okay, we said that We said that the after the protocol ends the verifier learns nothing beyond the fact that X is at X is in L so as soon after zero-knowledge protocols were Were defined in 1986 Goldrich and Mikhaili and Wigderson showed that if one-way functions exist Then every NP language has a zero-knowledge a system In 1988 a balloon the Sanctis Mikhaili and Perciano Considered the notion of non-interactive zero-knowledge The non-interactive zero-knowledge or need the key for short is a zero our zero-knowledge systems with without any interaction the Protocol just consists of a prover sending a single message to the verifier and Both the prover and the verifier have access to a CRS where CRS either stands for Common references ring or come on a random string so in the common reference a string model prior to the start of the protocol there is Trusted setup phase where which produces this CRS. However in the common random string model the CRS can be any random string and We prefer the common random string model because we often have publicly available Sources of randomness such as like the lottery number. So in the common random string model. We can avoid the trusted setup phase And need the key systems have found plenty of applications For instance, they can be used to achieve CCA security They can be used to build advanced signatures such as group and ring signatures And most recently they have been used in the context of a cryptocurrencies So we have Many various Constructions of need the key systems for all MP languages based on different assumptions here. I list these assumptions So the first assumption is trapped or permutations. This is by the same BDMP work and the fake Lapidot Shamir work the second assumption is The second assumption is the hardness of certain problems in pairing friendly groups. This is by growth, Osteros, Gansahai The third assumption is indistinguishability obfuscation. This is by Sahai Waters The fourth assumption is optimal hardness of an ad hoc variant of search LWE This is by a recent work of Kennedy, Chen, Holmogren, Lombardi, Rothblom, Rothblom, and Vicks And the last assumption which is the most related to this work is circular secure fully homomorphic encryption This is by the same CCS plus 19 work. So if you look at this list of assumptions You see that one category of assumptions is missing In fact this list does not contain any construction from a standard that is assumptions and in particular the popular LWE assumption which was introduced by reggae in 2005 and Building need the key systems for all of MP has been a longer sending open problem To the point that there was even a bounty for constructing constructing it through the years there have been many attempts and partial results towards this goal and finally in this In this work, we finally resolve this problem and we show that Assuming LWE every NP language has a need the key system. So this is the main result in this work So so we build the first need the key system for all of MP from a standard lattice assumptions This is in fact the first need the key system for all of MP from any assumption with worst case hardness guarantee It is based on the worst case hardness Hardness of approximating certain short vector problems within on on lattices to within polynomial factors Just like GOS and CCH plus 19 our need the key system can be instantiated in two modes in the first mode Which is in the common random string model. We get a statistically zero knowledge argument Which means that it is sound against computationally bounded provers and zero knowledge against computationally unbounded verifiers in the second mode, which is in the common reference string model It is a computationally zero knowledge knowledge proof Which means that it is sound against unbounded provers and zero knowledge against bounded verifiers Furthermore both of these two instantiations have compact CRS Which means that the size of the CRS is just a polynomial in the security parameter It's independent of the size of the statement independent of the size of the witness independent of the size of the circuit verifying the NP relation So now we will discuss the prior Pay prior works which heavily influenced our paper so we get our result by building on top of a recent line of work which Soundly instantiates the fear chamber transform in the standard in the standard model. So the fear chamber transform takes a Public coin interactive protocol for instance the this zero knowledge Protocol where the prover first sends the the first message alpha to the verifier the verifier Sends a challenge better of which is a random string to the prover and the prover sends the final Message gamma to the verifier the fear chamber transform takes this protocol interactive protocol and Converse it to a non interactive protocol in the following way It puts in the CRS a description of a hash function And now the single message that the prover sends to the verifier has two components The first component is the same alpha that the prover sends in the interactive version Now the prover can implicitly compute the challenge by applying the hash function to to alpha and then the prover completes the proof by Producing the appropriate gamma for this challenge and Alpha so upon receiving this proof the verifier can compute the Challenge by applying the hash function to alpha and then the verifier proceeds to verify the proof just as before now for this transformed Protocol showing that it is zero knowledge is easy But the main challenge is that it's showing that it Preserves soundness so this is because the prover has offline access to the hash function and it can differ try different alphas to cook up some alpha which hashes in some fortunate way for him which and allows it allows it to to complete to successfully complete His proof so this is so this is some of the reason that I showing Soundness is a challenge now Cth plus 19 Overcomes this challenge and build new system for all of MP by using a hash family with a special property called called Correlation interactability for circuits so correlation interact ability is a the property which was first First defined by Kennedy Goldrich and Hallevi for slightly different purposes This is plus 19 use correlation interact ability for circuits to get their result So definition of we see the definition of the definition of correlation interactivity here So we say that the hash function is correlation interactable for circuits for a circuit class if for any circuit in that circuit class Given a correctly sampled Given a correctly sampled hashy no polynomial time adversary Can find an input x such that hash of x equals c of x this is the definition of correlation interact ability for circuits And in the next slide we will show how cc h plus 19 use use Correlation interact ability for circuits to get their result Okay so Cc h plus 19 instantiates the fear chamber transform with correlation interactable CI hash function for circuits so in particular it puts the key of a CI hash function in the CRS Now if we have a cheating prover this cheating prover in order to cheat in order to Prove a wrong a statement prove as prove a statement for an X which is exit Which is not in the language L then this cheating prover must find an alpha Such that the challenge the hash of alpha is a bad challenge a bad challenge is one of the rare challenges which Allow the prover to complete his proof. It is rare because the underlying protocol It is rare because the underlying protocol has found this and therefore only a negligible fraction of the challenges The challenges let the prover complete a bad proof complete a wrong a proof for a wrong a statement So this is the task of the prover however the other also Okay Okay, so this is plus 19 also showed that if public encryption exists Then we can we can build zero knowledge systems for all of NP where the bad challenge is a function of the first message alpha And this function can be represented by a polynomial inside circuits So if you combine these two requirements if you look at these two requirements The prover in order to cheat has to find an alpha such that hash of alpha is a bad challenge But but this bad challenge is C of alpha for a circuit C So the the cheating prover in order to cheat has to break the correlation interactivity of this hash function Now from this description We we can say that given a public given public key encryption and see I hash function for circuits We can get needy key for all of NP for the first component for public key encryption We have known for a long time how to build it for from LWE, but for the second component for see I hash functions CCH plus 19 build the CCI hash function for circuits from any circular secure FHE Unfortunately, although we have plain FHE from LWE, but we do not know how to build a circular secure FHE From a standard lattice assumptions and this is the main reason that CCH plus 19 cannot rely on LWE or standard lattice assumptions Our main contribution in this work is that we build correlation interactable hash function for all circuits From a standard lattice assumptions from either SIS or LWE in this talk, we will focus on the SIS construction just Recall that SIS stands for short integer solution, which is a Which is a computational problem defined by ITI in 1996 So it predates LWE and it's potentially weaker than LWE LWE implies SIS So So our construction makes heavy use of fully homomorphic commitments and in particular the fully homomorphic commitments of Gorbanoff, Icuntanathan and Bix which are based on the which is based on the fully homomorphic encryption scheme of Gentry, Sahay and Waters So these fully homomorphic commitments are commitments with homomorphic capabilities. We use these two algorithms commit and come and evolve with the following property So if you have a commitment to a circuit and a string X or a commitment to a string X Then we can use this eval algorithm to homomorphically evaluate a Commitment to C of X. Very similar to fully homomorphic encryption, but in the context of fully in the context of commitments So now let's now we will describe our construction In our construction the hash key is a Commitment to a dummy circuit D This D is a dummy circuit which maps Which maps big L bit Big L bit strings to small L bit outputs Then to evaluate the hash function on an input X First this hash key is homomorphically evaluated on the input X So we get the C which is a commitment to D of X and then we convert this commitment to D of X we converted to C bar, which is something that we call an inert commitment so we call we name it inert because We name it an inert commitment because it is a commitment to D of X But it has no longer any homomorphic property. It has no longer homomorphic property so so the name inert commitment and One more thing to notice here is that this C bar is L bit long is an L bit string and D of X is also an L bit string So this C bar and D of X Are the same size inert commitments are the same size as the thing that they are committing to now I have to we have to see what are these inert commitments How does this inert if I algorithm? How does this transformation works and how do these things help us in getting correlation interact ability? Before that, it's very useful to compare our construction with CCS plus 19 Our construction is very similar to CCS plus 19 the CCS plus 19 however uses the instantiates the commitment scheme in an extractable mode so they do have The their commitment scheme has an encryption algorithm and decryption has the encryption algorithm and decryption keys and The hash key in their commitment has also an additional component this additional component This additional component is a commitment to the complement of the decryption function So this additional component this commitment to the complement of the decryption function is the main reason that they need Circular security because they are committing to something that depends on the decryption key So so so the need for circular security now to evaluate the hash function CCS plus 19 proceeds similarly to To evaluate to compute C to compute a commitment to D of X But then uses this commitment to D of X with the commitment to the complement of the decryption function to homomorphically evaluate Commitment to a commitment to the complement of the decryption of D of X and this would be the output of their hash function then they proceed to show that this this their function is their function is their hash function is correlation interactable by by Describing a diagonalization argument now back to our own construction. We need to show correlation Interactability we need to we need to show that for any C It is hard to find an X such that an inner commitment to D of X equals V of X where D is the dummy circuit but remember that These commitment schemes are hiding so a commitment to a dummy circuit is indistinguishable from a commitment To the to the circuit see itself so for so we can replace a d with C in that requirement for correlation Interactability, which means that now for correlation interactability. We need to show that for any C It is hard to find an input X such that an inert commitment to C of X equals C of X So to show this to show to prove this requirement To satisfy this requirement we we state the main property of our inert commitment the main property is as follows The main property is as follows if we have if we have Okay, so the main property that follows it says the main property says that If you multiply G, which is the gadget make me chance your pie cards gadget matrix by the inner commitment to a string V Then the result is a which is a uniformly random matrix in the public parameters of our commitment a scheme times commitment coins are which is a non-zero short vector plus G V so this is the main the main property of our inert the main property of inert commitments to see how this Gives a correlation interact ability assume that we have inert commitment of V equals V Then we can multiply both sides by G as a result we get a R plus G V equals G V Cancel we cancel G V from both sides this implies that commitment coins are would be a solution to SIS Problem assuming SIS our construction is correlation intractable now, of course, I have to describe how how this inert if I algorithm works, how can I how I can Transform a commitment a normal commitment to an inert commitment if you are familiar with GSW and GVW works then you know that the Normal commitment to a string V has the following format it is a R Where R is a short matrix plus V transpose tensor G where G is again that me chance your pie card gadget matrix I want to transform it to an inert commitment to V Which have the following form it is G inverse of AR where? small r is again short vector plus G V and for this for this purpose To show how this transformation happened. I state the main property of I state I state the key equation Which can be which is a straightforward to verify so the equation is as follows If for any matrix M if I multiply a commitment to V by G inverse of Vectorization of M so I multiply AR plus V transpose tensor G by G inverse of vectorization of M then the result is AR small R where this Small R vector R is R times G inverse of vectorization of M And it is short because R is short and G inverse is always short plus MV now in this equation replace M with matrix G and You get what you need for the inert if I algorithm So this is This is the construction We will I will finish the talk with a stating a few open problems So the first open problem is the problem of constructing Non-interactive witness indistinguishable system for MP from LWP you mentioned that recently there were three interesting and independent works works which used our CI hash functions to build two round witness indistinguishability witness indistinguishable systems for MP So we asked whether we can improve it or build non-interactive witness indistinguishable system for MP This is the first question the next question is that can we build a Statistically sound and an interactive zero-knowledge system from LWP in the common random string model So right now the construction in our paper and the statistically sound music a construction in our paper is in the common reference String model we asked whether we can get the same result in the in the preferable common random string model for the third question is Can we build multi-torem a statistical zero-knowledge? Niziki systems for MP from LWP. So right now the bear construction in our paper is Is only a thing single torem if you apply the generic or trick Then what you get is a multi-torem system, but only computationally zero-knowledge multi-torem Niziki system so we asked whether we can get multi-torem a statistically zero-knowledge system The last question is can we enhance the efficiency or CI hash functions? That's it. Thanks for your attention So we have time for a question or two if you have a question, please come to the microphone Okay, so I will ask a question So commitments that can so this zero-knowledge proof system is based on the LWP problem and commitments can be built from a simpler assumptions like SIS is there Any way to get fully homomorphic Commitments or some other relative primitive directly from SIS without resorting to LWP Actually, we get the fully homomorphic commitments from SIS But the reason that we need LWP is for the underlying zero-knowledge protocol So that's that's why we need LWP So we'll let's thanks the speaker again	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzUI3OVqFDc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Cape Town - Prisoners across South Africa are crying foul, possibly confirming damning evidence of tender irregularities at the Department of Correctional Services. Dennis Bloem, former Cope MP and chairperson of the portfolio committee on correctional services, testified before the Zondo commission about alleged corruption relating to a catering contract at correctional facilities. While millions in taxpayers’ money was paid to Bosasa to provide fresh food and a catering service to prisons, inmates said they continued to do “all the cooking and serving of stale food”. A former inmate, 38-year-old Reggie Watkins (not his real name), spoke about the decade he spent at Pollsmoor Prison. “I remember the smell of the meat and the fish like it was yesterday. I was released a year and a half ago and I can tell you horrific stories about the food served in jail,” he said. “We were fed food not even fit for animals, I remember one day we got chicken with green stuff all over it. We never complained, we just had to cook the food and serve to other inmates,” he said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you feel good, please support the author by subscribing to our channel to track the next video. * SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL: https://goo.gl/zDv9rV * FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: https://goo.gl/Ya1zDh	[ "F5", "News", "Millions allegedly paid to Bosasa for prison food that never arrived", "bosasa and ramaphosa", "bosasa saga", "bosasa money", "bosasa live", "bosasa vault", "bosasa testimony", "bosasa ceo", "bosasa coo", "bosasa news", "bosasa angelo agrizzi", "bosasa angelo", "bosasa and state capture", "bosasa and andile", "bosasa and ramaphosa son", "bosasa and malema", "bosasa bribe", "bosasa boss", "bosasa boss counting money", "bosasa bribery", "Bosasa 2019", "Bosasa news", "Bosasa today", "Bosasa latest", "Bosasa 2018" ]	2019-02-09T14:26:30	2024-04-23T14:08:03	194	vzTZg7biZ5s	Millions allegedly paid to Bocesa for prison food that never arrived. Cape Town, prisoners across South Africa are crying foul, possibly confirming damning evidence of tender irregularities at the Department of Correctional Services. Dennis Blom, former COPE MP and Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services, testified before the Zondo Commission about alleged corruption relating to a catering contract at Correctional facilities. While millions in taxpayers' money was paid to Bocesa to provide fresh food and a catering service to prisons, inmates said they continued to do all the cooking and serving of stale food. A former inmate, 38-year-old Reggie Watkins, not his real name, spoke about the decade he spent at Polesmore Prison. I remember the smell of the meat and the fish like it was yesterday. I was released a year and a half ago and I can tell you horrific stories about the food served in jail, he said. We were fed food not even fit for animals, I remember one day we got chicken with green stuff all over it. We never complained, we just had to cook the food and serve to other inmates, he said. During his testimony Blom told the commission the catering contract was just a money laundering scheme. Bocesa said they would take over the kitchens and do the cooking, it was a blue lot. The inmates were still doing the cooking. I am talking from experience, I visited these areas. Sondolo, Bocesa, had one office in the middle of the kitchen. Sondolo was just taking the money. Chairperson, there was no labor from Bocesa. It was the inmates that cooked, prepared, and dished out the food. We never got an answer about who was providing the food, Blom told the commission. Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo's shock at the revelations prompted him to request an immediate investigation. I hope investigators can establish if it is still on going with regards to the catering contract, said Zondo. While the preschool sector gets less than our 20 per child per day for the care and feeding of a child, our 350 was allegedly paid to Bocesa per inmate per day. Bocesa Executive Director Papaleshavane dismissed all claims of corruption. We are rendering a service that comprises training of inmates, training of Department of Correctional Services members, providing three dietetically balanced meals per day per inmate, provision of takeaway meals for inmates attending court and maintenance of kitchen equipment, he said. Leshavane denied that the company received our 350 per inmate per day, but would not confirm the exact amount.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzTZg7biZ5s", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCeSHo5kTvzoik4STh7MuMCA	How to increase watch time on my YouTube channel \| 3 specific Tips	Watch time on YouTube, it's the most important analytic to pay attention to in 2018 and moving into 2019. YouTube analytics is really cracking down on channels that do not show great watch time and retention rates on their channel's videos. It's a harsh reality for us creators. As a youtube creator, and a smaller creator at that, I have had to learn the harsh reality of what it takes to be recognized by the Google Brain, also known as the YouTube algorithm. If you are a creator on YouTube, you really should pay attention to you watch time analytics as a whole, but more importantly for your individual videos that you publish, including your daily vlogs. Daily vlogging, to a certain extent, is kind of dead unfortunately. The YouTube algorithm is really giving precedence, so it appears, to very niche channels and video content. Therefore, as youtube creators, we must pay attention to increasing our watch time on our channels if we want to continue to see growth and engagement with our video content. Maybe "Ask Darrel Eves" has some thoughts on this topic? Or perhaps Roberto Blake? I KNOW Tim Schmoyer has insights into this topic. Share below in the comments fellas before Sunny Lenarduzzi beats you to it! I've been blown away by all the content on the topic of how to increase watch time on my youtube channel, and I think Think Media, Video Influencers, Sunny, and Video Creators for helping me move this channel forward. 🔻Email signup for the daily vlog newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dH-K05 #RoadTo1000 #nosmallcreator #youtubewatchtime 🔻 Let's Connect Below 🔻 ➡️Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/20320892 ➡️Twitter: https://twitter.com/SethJamesDeMoor ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sethjamesdemoor/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sethjamesdemoor/ Seek beauty.

That's what you're gonna learn by the end of this video. But the only reason I feel comfortable sharing these ideas with you is because I've been doing 900 vlogs in a row and I've learned a thing or two over the last two and a half years and I wanna share that experience and motivation and just knowledge with you. So, stay tuned, three things coming up now. Oh, that fire felt good. Okay, as you can see, this is real life. This is raw. This is not shot in a studio. A lot of small creators, I feel like, I hear it quite often, like they don't feel like they have the right setting to film in and folks, you don't need a studio. You don't need a production crew. It's just you and me. I don't even have a tripod today. It's just the Canon 5D and my thoughts, my experience, my knowledge being shared with you through YouTube. I just wanted to mention it. I just love filming in urban environments. I just love it. There's so much to look at. It's so cool. All right, folks, tip number one. Here you go. It's an easy one. It's easy to say, harder to do. Film, edit, and publish longer videos, right? To increase watch time on your channel, that's probably the simplest way to do it. However, it's a double-edged sword because on YouTube, not only is YouTube tracking total watch time on your videos and on your channel as a whole, they're also tracking retention rates. So how long are people watching each individual video? Basically, if you're publishing a 10-minute video, a 12-minute video, but people are only watching it for two minutes, that's not good. YouTube does not like that. So let's dive into an example on my channel. This is a video I shot up in Steamboat Springs one month ago called Run Rabbit Run 100 Mile Race. Let's see how long people actually tuned in and watched this vlog. So there you go. That was a real-life example on this YouTube channel and you can do the same on your channel. Click on any video on your YouTube channel. Look at the analytics and see how long people are actually watching. All right, that was tip number one. Make longer videos, produce longer videos, but make sure you're keeping people's attention throughout. I'm just gonna ask the question of the day right now because I'm so curious. Oh, let's let the bus go by. I'm so curious, have you noticed the longer videos on this channel over the past week? And what did you think? Like what do you think? This is a big step for this daily vlog is to publish 10-minute plus videos. And I know like your time is so precious, so valuable, and you stick around for so long, many of you the whole time, which is amazing, thank you. But what do you think about the longer form videos on this channel? That's the question of the day, thank you. The snow started again, the snow started again. All right, one last point on the topic of publishing longer videos for YouTube. It means you're gonna have to work just a little bit harder because guess what? Filming and editing, hi, how's it going? Thanks for the video bomb. So, she was nice. Basically, you gotta work harder, right? This is life, okay? I know not everyone wants to hear that you gotta work harder on YouTube, but it's so true. And at least in the upfront, in the laying the foundation of your channel, you gotta work harder and be willing to do it. All right, let's go. We're back at the yellow wall, we're back at the yellow wall. Okay, you wanna see a little bit more of my story? Seven years ago, we took these photos right here. That's right, those are some wedding photos from True Love and Eyes Wedding. Okay, tip number two for increasing watch time on your YouTube channel. Have a story in mind before you hit record. Everyone, human beings were made for great stories. Think of Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings, Frodo and the Shire. That's the beginning. What is the middle? Walking through Middle Earth. That's the middle, the chunk, the meat of the story. And what is the end? Him throwing the ring into Mount Doom, a beginning, a middle, and an end. That is, those are the three key ingredients for any great story. So, in today's blog, what was the beginning of this story? Me showing you my house, me showing you my car. And listen, these are small details, well, I have big details of life, but a lot of you have never been on this channel, and so I wanna share my life with you, my story with you. Remember, this is raw, this is real here. And what's the middle? The middle are the three points that I'm sharing with you right now. I just shared number two with you, the stories. And number three, the last part of today's story, today's vlog, is going to be me showing, revealing to you some of my YouTube analytics from the past month. Basically, the last, especially the last two weeks, to show you how the watch time on this channel is going up, is going up. And I just wanna, it's just amazing. And so, okay, tip number three, coming up, there's a big blue bear in downtown Denver, just thought you'd like to know that. It's cold. All right, third and final idea, and tip for helping you increase watch time on your channel. Basically, don't be afraid to withhold some of the goodness for the last part of your video. I just mentioned 30 seconds ago that I'm gonna reveal to you some of my YouTube analytics to show you what's happening on this channel. That's kind of a big deal. Like, a lot of creators, I've never seen them really share their analytics. And I'm not gonna share everything with you, but some of it with you. Cause I wanna be transparent with you and literally show you how watch time is going up on this channel. It's exciting. So, stay tuned, and that is my hint. And so, you can use this strategy as well, like drop hints throughout your video saying that there's gonna be goodness coming, but it's a double-edged sword. Cause you gotta pull through. You can't forget to say it in. You gotta make sure it's worth the people's time that they stick around for that. And you gotta make sure it connects to the whole overall story for the daily vlog, the daily story, whatever you happen to be filming. Maybe it's a how-to video. Maybe it's a cooking video. Maybe it's a shopping haul video. It can be applied to frankly, any video. Capiche? All right, time to go get warm. I'm getting hungry. I'm getting hungry. All right, hopefully the information that I've shared with you today gives you something to chew on. Something like pizza. Something to feed your YouTube engine. Now listen, don't go out and implement all three right now. It takes time. It takes patience for anything on YouTube. And if you learned something, if I helped you in some small way, make sure you hit that subscribe button because next week, yes, I'm gonna be publishing another video on improving engagement on your YouTube channel. Does that sound good? Does that sound good? All right, people are yelling at me, and that's okay. I gotta get home. Oh, and I gotta get to internet so I can show you my YouTube analytics. Stay tuned. It was delicious. It was delicious. Thank you for Taka Wednesdays, true love. And I'm glad you got to see a little bit of Michael trying his food for the second time in his life. It's a big deal. It's a big deal. All right, that is part of my story, right? We're talking about stories a little bit today. I'm looking at my YouTube stats. Here is the end of the story, all right? Remember, I promised YouTube analytics. I'm looking at the same screen you are. And it's fascinating, right? The watch time is going up and I'm putting into practice some of the tips and ideas that I have shared with you over the last 10 minutes. So as you can see, pretty level watch time, pretty level watch time, and then boom, October 2nd hits. And what was the video that I published on October 2nd? Best YouTube analytic to improve in 2019. So preparing for next year. Look at that. That is, if I'm doing the math right, basically a little over a week ago. And look at the graph, folks. Bottom line, I'm not messing around. I'm trying to be transparent, open with you. And I hope, I hope helpful. That's why I'm here. That's why I wanna help you guys, especially the other creators that are just kinda eh, eh, eh, struggling a little bit. Like they're just trying to get over that hump. Think about the three points that I've mentioned today. Go back and review if you need to. And again, if you want to, if you want to take the next step, go check out the playlist that I already mentioned, upper right hand corner. That playlist has, it doesn't have a ton of content yet, but I'm working on it and it will help you formulate ideas and understand where YouTube is headed in the future, meaning 2019, because it's right around the corner. I love you guys. Thanks for being here. Thanks for looking at my YouTube analytics. And if you're still watching, drop, and I know it's a hard word to spell, drop analytics down in the comment if you can spell it correctly, bonus points for you. See beauty, work hard and love each other. Why don't you, why don't you subscribe to? Why don't you subscribe to? And if you have time, maybe take the link, copy it, paste it, share it with some friends, share it with your social media contacts and just be like, hey, check this guy out. He's trying to help others on YouTube. Maybe you could learn something. I'd appreciate it, I'd appreciate it. All right, now I'm signing off.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ11t19BN1Y", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCOYjmNfEFcUPDgihxwSSReA	Direct Financing lease : Accounting for Lessor	In this session, I will discuss direct financing lease ✔️Accounting students and CPA Exam candidates, check my website for additional resources: https://farhatlectures.com/ 📧Connect with me on social media: https://linktr.ee/farhatlectures #CPAEXAM #intermediateaccounting #professorfarhat	[ "direct financing lease", "direct financing lease lessor accounting", "sales type lease vs direct financing", "direct financing lease vs sales type", "direct financing lease journal entries", "direct financing lease accounting", "direct financing leases typically have a", "direct financing lease vs. operating lease", "direct financing lease vs finance lease", "direct financing lease journal entries lessor", "direct financing lease asc 842", "direct financing lease and sales type" ]	2021-02-20T14:54:33	2024-02-05T06:15:20	1,743	VzpZsQEeQg4	Hello and welcome to this session in which we would look at direct financing lease accounting. This topic is covered in intermediate accounting as well as the CPA exam. This topic specifically direct financing lease accounting gives students issues for multiple reasons. One is you have to understand how the time value of money works if you are dealing with leases. Also we have different type of leases. We have sales type lease. We have operating lease. Now we have direct financing leases. Then we have accounting for leasing for the less sore as well as accounting leasing for the less C. So notice there are so many different combination in this session we'll focus on direct financing lease. Now whether you are an accounting student or a CPA candidate, especially if you are a CPA candidate, I strongly suggest you take a look at my website farhatlectures.com. I don't replace your CPA review course. What I do is I explain the leases in details separately each type of lease less C less sore with examples. So I can be a useful addition to your CPA review course by helping you understand the material better you can add 10 to 15 points to your CPA review score past the exam. Now your risk is one month of subscription. Your potential gain is passing the exam. This is if you subscribe to my website. Also my website is designed to mirror image your CPA review course. So I have a CPA review course for Wiley, one for Becker, one for Roger, one for Glyme. So they match, they match your CPA review course. So it's easy to find the information and if not for anything, take a look at my website to find out how well is your university doing or not doing for the CPA exam. Also on my website, I do have various cover including intermediate accounting as well as many other courses. Please connect with me on LinkedIn if you haven't done so and only then you can view my LinkedIn recommendation students who use my system to pass the exam so you can get a better feeling, more confidence about my product. Please like this recording, share it, connect with me on Instagram and Facebook. So the first thing I am going to go over is this graph and hopefully by looking at by the, if you are looking at direct finance leasing, I'm assuming you know what is sales type of leasing and you know what's operating lease, sales type or finance lease, whatever you want to call it or capital lease. So let's take a look at this decision tree and remember the lease for a sales type lease to be considered a capital or a finance lease, it has to meet one of these five criteria. What are those five criteria? Transfer of ownership. Does the lease transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the leasing by the end of the lease? If the answer is yes, we are dealing with a finance sales type lease. If the answer is no, we look to the next question. Does the lease grant a lease see an option to purchase the underlying asset? That's in that option price is reasonably certain to be exercised. It's basically a bargain. It's called a purchase option test. If the answer is yes, we're done. We're dealing with a finance lease, sales type lease. If the answer is no, we would look at the third question. The lease term is the lease term for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. Here they're saying the remaining economic life. Usually we look at a 75% plus. If the answer is yes, then we are dealing with a finance lease. Otherwise, we go to the fourth question, the present value test. And we're going to be focusing on the present value test here in this session. Does the present value of the sum of the lease payment and notice plus and any lease residual value guaranteed not reflected in the lease payment equal or exceed substantially all of the underlying asset sphere value? And hopefully you are familiar with these tests. Simply put, if we take all the payments plus the lease residual guarantee, that's assuming it's guaranteed and we add them and we find the present value for those present, we add the present value of those two payments. Do they exceed substantially all of the underlying fair value asset? And this number is 90%. So do they represent 90% of the fair value of the asset? If the answer is no, we are dealing with a finance lease. Otherwise, the last question is, is this asset have any alternative use of the answer? To all these questions is no, we cannot have a lease classify as an operating lease. It cannot be a finance lease, a sales type lease. So this is what you should know this. You should know this information if you are looking at direct financing lease. Now we're going to be introducing a new category. Here we go. Lessor, we're dealing with the lessor, the person that's leasing the asset can use a third lease qualification, what's called the direct financing lease in one special situation. So we need to discuss this special situation. And once we need to discuss this special situation, we'll see the journal entries for it. When the lessor give up control of the asset to the lessy, but there is an involvement of a third party. This is important. So simply put, if you remember this test here, the present value test, the present value, we have to add all the lease payment and any residual value that's guaranteed. Okay, together, they have to exceed 90%. Under certain circumstances, a third party, so rather than the lessy and the lessor, the third party will guarantee the residual value. When you have a third party involvement, you might have a direct financing lease. It means you will add the direct, the third party guarantee. And if the third party guarantee, residual guarantee exceeds 90%, which is the substantial, substantially all of the underlying asset fair value, then you are dealing with a direct financing lease. So on the direct financing lease, we are looking at three parties, the lessy, the lessor and the third party. Simply put, again, if it meets, this is another picture of this, if it meets any of these five options, you have a sales type finance lease. If it does not, you have an operating lease, unless you have a third party that's guaranteeing the residual value in this transaction. Under those circumstances, you will have a direct financing lease. So what happened is you are passing this test through the third party guarantee and we'll see an example how it works. Now, the basic difference between a direct financing lease and a sales type lease relate to when do we book the profit on the sale? When do we book the profit on the sale? And when I say finance lease, we're looking at sales type, so just FYI, sales type lease. So when do we book the profit on the sale? And a sales type lease, and hopefully you understand this, we book the profit immediately. When we book the journal entry, I will work an example to remind you how we do so, because it's important to see the sales type lease vis-a-vis the direct financing lease. In a direct financing lease, you're going to see the profit is deferred and recognized over the life of the lease. So whatever profit we make from financing this transaction, we are not going to book immediately, we are going to take this profit over the life of the lease. The best way to illustrate this concept is to work an example. Assume that robotics company, which is the lessor, and enters into a lease agreement with Amazon for the use of quick robotics package picker. So Amazon wants to lease a robot. The lease commencement date January 1st, 2021. The lease term is three years. The lease agreement is non-cancelable, requiring, that means you can't get out of it, requiring equal rental payment at the end of each period. We are dealing with ordinary annuity. The picker, which is the robot, has a fair value at the commencement of the lease of 30,000 and a carrying value of 28 with an estimated residual value of 6,000 at the end of the lease. So here's what we have. This is the fair value. This is the cost of the asset and the 6,000 is the residual value. The estimated life is five years. Amazon provides a guarantee that the residual value will be at least 6,000. So notice in this transaction, in this transaction we have robotics and Amazon, and Amazon is guaranteeing the residual value of the robot. There's no third party involved here. Notice the lease contained no renewal option and the picker revered to robotics at the termination of the lease. So notice when Amazon is not going to own it, it's going to go back to robotics. Robotics sets the annual rental rate to earn 6% per year. This is the implicit rate on their investment. So the first thing we're going to compute is the payment that robotics going to require Amazon to pay. So the first thing we're going to compute the payment, hopefully we learn how to do this in prior session. We'll do it again. So here's what's going to happen. The fair value of the lease payment is 30,000. Then we subtract from it the present value of the residual value, which is 6,000 times the present value factor 3n equal to 3i equal to 6%. You might be saying, Professor Farhat, where did you get the 0.83962? If you are studying leases, you should be pretty comfortable with the time value of money. If you are not comfortable with the time value of money, this is where you would go to, guess where? Farhatlectures.com. And I have lessons. The first thing when I start my CPA courses, that goes with your CPA courses, the time value of money. So if you're asking, where did this number coming from? Well, this is what I suggest you do because I cannot explain the time value of money now. The assumption is you know it by heart. So the present value factor is 0.83962. Therefore, the amount, the present value of the 6,000 is $5,037.72. You will take the fair value minus the present value of the residual value. You will come up to this number. This is the number that the lessor will need to recover from the lease payment, which is this much. Now what we do is we'll take this amount and we'll divide by the present value of the annuity factor. So we're going to take this number and divide it by the present value annuity factor again, n equal to 3, 3 periods, i equal to 6. And the factor is 2.67301. The payment is $9,338, $9,338.64. This is the payment that robotics expect to be paid from Amazon. So all I did is find the payment. Now what type of a lease is this? That's the first thing because this is the most important thing. Well, let's take a look at what we have here. Well, we have the five tests. Transfer of ownership. Did the ownership transfer? Nope. Transfer of ownership that did not occur, the asset revert to robotics. So there's no transfer of ownership. Purchase option. We didn't see a purchase option, a bargain purchase option. The lease term. Well, the lease term is 3. The life of the asset is 5. 3 divided by 5 is 60%. So it didn't meet any of these tests. Well, let's see if the present value test, the present value of the lease payment. Now let's compute the present value. The present value of the payment is $9,338.64. We're going to multiply by the present value factor n equal to 3, i equal to 6. That's going to give us $24,962.28. Then we add to it the present value. Remember the the Amazon's guarantee in the residual value. We add to it the present value of the residual value and will give us this number, 30,000. Well, 30,000 is 100% of 30,000. So it's more than 90%. Therefore, the present value of the payment plus the present value of the residual value, the guaranteed residual value equal to not equal to equal exactly to the fair value. So we are dealing with a sales type lease right now. We're dealing with a sales type lease and everything that I'm doing so far, I hope you are comfortable with this because we should have reviewed or explained this topic. The reason I'm doing this first, then when I move to the direct finance lease, it will be a very small switch that you have to be aware of. And there is no indication that this asset has any has any alternative use. Therefore, this is a sales type lease under number four under number four. Now let's do the journal entry for the sales type lease. Again, everything that I'm doing now should be a review. The robotics will debit at least receivable of 30,000. They will debit cost of goods sold of 28. They will credit sales revenue of 30,000. They sold it and they remove the robotics from their inventory for 28,000. So the first thing I want you to know this is robotics booked a profit of 2000. And this is a sales type lease. They met one of the five options, which is the present value. Therefore, they booked 2000 of profit immediately when they make the sale. Now I'm going to switch. I'm going to switch the scenario. Let's assume the residual value is guaranteed by an unrelated third party. So Amazon is no longer guaranteeing the residual value. Okay, who's guaranteeing the residual value? A third party. The less sore classified the lease as a direct finance lease here. What they're saying is, guess what? We did not really sell it. We're financing the lease. Do you see what's happening here? So that's the assumption here that we are making. We are making that the guarantee is a dual value. What makes the difference whether a lease is a sales type lease or a direct financing lease. What entry do we make if we now say that this is a direct financing lease? We still have a receivable of 30,000. We no longer have a sale, though. We are going to credit inventory for 28,000 and the profit of 2000. It's not going to be booked. Now it's going to be called a deferred gross profit. You have to know that the third gross profit is a contra receivable, contra assets, specifically contra receivable. And that's why we are starting with a balance on the credit side of the third profit of 2000. So what happened is this 2000 here that we considered a profit under the sales type lease and we booked. Now it's being considered the third gross profit. And what are we going to do with this? We are going to earn it, earn it over the life of three years. So simply put, we're going to take 2000 and earn it over three years. Now if you're asking if it's going to be the straight line equally, no, it's not going to be equally. This is what's going to make this a little bit more interesting. But this is the initial entry. So this is a sales type and this is direct financing. What is the difference? The difference is that it became direct financing when Amazon did not guarantee a residual value. A third party guaranteed there is a dual value. Now we need to know how to process the journal entry because under sales type lease we already learned how to do this when you make the payment. Now we need to learn how to do it under direct financing lease. The first thing we do in a normal sale robotics would receive lease payment over the life of the lease, which on the present value basis equal to 30,000. Simply put, look at here, we have a lease receivable of 30,000. You see this? A lease receivable of 30,000. Therefore, what we're going to say, we're going to amortize this lease receivable at 6%. Notice here, we're going to treat it as first, if it's a sales type lease. So notice here, although it's direct financing, but we're going to need this amortization schedule, you will see why. We're going to start 1,120, the balance of the receivable. We have receivable balance. Then we're going to make the first payment. We have an annual lease payment. We already computed the payment. Then we compute the interest on the receivable. How do we compute the interest on the receivable? Well, we're going to take the 30,000, the previous, the beginning of the period, lease receivable times 6%. That's going to give us 1,800. The remaining is a reduction in the lease receivable. Now, the lease receivable is $22,461.31. Then we're going to do the same thing. A year later, 12, 3121, we're going to get another payment. They're going to pay us $9,338.64. The same payment will always be the same. The interest is $22,461.36 times 6%. We'll give us the interest and simply put this payment, part of it is interest. First, you find out the interest. What's left is receivable, reduction in the receivable. Then this receivable would reduce the $22,461 to $14,470. Then we're going to make, we're going to get the third payment. Same thing. The third payment will be split between interest and the interest is based on the previous book value of the receivable times 6% and the remaining will go to the lease receivable. The lease receivable will reduce the previous balance of $14,470 to $6,000. Then here comes the guaranteed residual payment of $6,000. The balance of the receivable is zero now. So notice what's going to happen. The interest that we earned, so please listen to me carefully here. This is important. Listen to me carefully because you're going to be, you're going to thank me like five minutes later if you listen to me carefully here. The interest component of the lease is $4,015.92. This is the interest component. Simply put, robotics because they had a lease of $30,000. They wanted to earn 6%. They're going to, they're receiving payment of $9,338, three payments. Therefore, the interest that they earn on this deal is $4,015.92. Hold on a second. Yes, that's interest. That's fine. But then they also earn or they're going to be deferring $2,000 of profit. So the interest is a separate component. They're going to be earning interest on this deal. That's fine because they're financing the transaction, but also they're going to earn a profit on, unquote, the sale of 2000. How do we find out how to amortize? So we're going to have to create another schedule. And I don't think on the CPA exam, they would ask you to book entries for direct financing lease, but we're going to do it anyway just so you're comfortable with it. Okay. So here's what's going to happen. You're going to have to create another direct financing lease amortization schedule. Here you're going to start with your net receivable. So simply put in a direct financing lease. Robotics receive the same payment, which is received. Robotics receive the same lease payment, which is on a present value basis equal to 28,000. Now, what we have to do, what we have to do, remember, remember, they sold the additional 2000 is profit. Therefore, the present value is based on 28,000. Now, what's going to happen? We have to choose an interest rate that's going to amortize this 28,000 over three years. Now, I never sold, I never, at least based on previous, previously released AI CPA questions. Usually, if they ask you the question, they will give you the rate 9.5. This rate, it's going to amortize this 28,000 net lease receivable. Okay. So what did the 9.5 came from? Well, obviously, you have to compute it, but you don't have to compute it. It will be given to you if that computation is necessary. Now, we're going to amortize the lease under as a lease receivable of 28,000. And you will see why in a moment, why we are doing this. And using interest rate of 9.5, we're going to go through the same thing, same concept. We're going to say the payment is $9,338.64. We're going to take this amount multiplied by 9.5. And that's going to give us the interest on the receivable based on a 9.5, based on a 9.5, 9.5 interest rate. You might be saying, what is that interest rate? So I'm going to tell you what it is. Okay. Remember, we are earning interest of 6%. So the interest of 6%, a dollar amount over the life of the lease is $4,015. Remember, we still have to book another 2,000 of profit. To tell you the truth, the difference between 9.5, not the truth, to explain what's happening here, you have 9.5 minus 6% is 3.5. The extra 3.5 is going to represent this 2,000. And you will see that in a moment. Now, so this is how we're going to be doing the amortization. We're going to say $9,338.64. Part of it is interest, part of it is reduction in the lease. Again, the same concept. This amount would reduce the lease to $21,321.36. Then the process repeats itself. We're going to say, okay, we're going to be receiving the second payment, part of it interests based on the new balance of $21,232. The remaining is reduction in the principle and the balance will go down to $14,008.25. And the third payment, you guys got the concept. Then we receive 6,000. Notice what happened to the interest under this schedule. The interest under this schedule is $6,015.94. So notice the difference between them, guess what? $2,000. So what's the difference? Why? So why do we have to schedule? The reason we have to schedule is because when we are booking the journal entry, we have to amortize some of that 2,000. We have to turn it from the third profit. Remember, we have 2,000 of the third profit. Remember that T account I showed you? The third profit, when we first booked the entry, we have 2,000 of the third profit and we're going to be amortizing it. So that's why we need those two schedules to find the difference. So how much of it is truly interest of the revenue and how much of it is the third profit? So that's why we have to prepare those two schedules. And that's why I don't think you'll be expected to do this much on the exam. I mean, who knows, they might give you a problem like this, but I highly doubt it. Let's look at the journal entry now. We're going to debit cash, $9,338.64. We're going to be receiving a check from Amazon for that amount. Now, remember, now we are ready to book some of the profit of the third revenue. And the third revenue will be $860. How did we come up with this figure? Here's how we came up with this figure. That's why we have two tables. We're working from two tables. We're going to take $2,660. And we're going to subtract from it the interest component of $1,800, the pure interest component. As a result, we're going to have the third revenue of $860. So this $860, so what happened, let's go back to the third profit account. Remember, we started with $2,000. Now, we recognize $860 of it. Now, we have a new balance. Now, what is our revenue? What is our total revenue? Our total revenue is $2660. Our total revenue is right here. This is our total lease revenue. But remember, part of it is $860. Part of it is interest. But this is what we credit. We credit the lease revenue. And obviously, we have to reduce the receivable $7,538. Okay, $5,738. So notice we are using two different tables to book the entry. Again, the reason is because we have part of the revenue is interest, part of the revenue is the third profit. In a sales-like lease, we only have interest revenue because the profit was booked at the beginning of the lease. And direct finance lease, which is this session, this is what makes this a little bit not complicated. It takes several steps. Now, let's go ahead and make the second, well, this is the first payment. Now, here's what you can do. Again, so you'll understand this better if you want to understand this better. This is an amortization schedule for the third gross profit. We're starting with $2,000. The first payment, remember, the interest component, the total revenue was $2,660. The interest component was $1,800. The difference between those is the amount of the third revenue. Now, we still have the third revenue of $11,140. Next time, we receive another payment, that the third revenue is $677.85. And our third revenue will go down to $462. If we're looking at a T account, so we're starting with the third profit, we started with $2,000. We're going to reduce it by $860. We're going to reduce it by $677.85. We're going to reduce it by $462.15. As a result, the third profit will go down to zero. So this is where you get the third profit component for every payment. And remember, it's being amortized. It's being spread over three period, over three period. How did we do it? Well, we have to prepare to schedule to determine which part is the third profit, which part is interest, which part is interest revenue, and book it appropriately. Now, how do we report things on the balance sheet? Because you could be asked about this. Well, after the first payment, what's going to happen is your least receivable will be the gross amount minus $7,538.64, the reduction in the least receivable, therefore will be $22,461. Then last, remember, the third gross profit is a contra receivable. So you're going to reduce it from receivable $2,000. We start with $2,000 minus $860, which is give us remaining $1,140. So the net receivable after the first payment is $21,321.36. Now, after another payment, you would reduce it and you would reduce this by so next period will be reduction by $677.85, and the $22,461 will be reduced by the amount of the principle, which we'll see next. Let's make the entry for $21. Again, the entry for $21, the cash is always the same. The third gross profit I already showed you, it's going to be $677.85. The lease revenue is $20.25.53, and we have a reduction in the least receivable of $7,990.96. Again, going back to the schedules, going back to these schedules. So if you're wondering where this is coming from, $20.25.53 and $7,990, they're all coming from these tables. Okay, so this is the revenue, and this is the reduction in the receivable. Okay, all right. That's the second payment. Let's take a look at the third payment. The third payment, same exact thing. The cash is the same. We know that the third gross profit, lease revenue, and a reduction in the receivable, a reduction in the receivable. Okay, so we may, obviously, you can make, this is 2022, if there's more payments, you know how to do the payment. And guess what's going to happen? Last, last, we're going to be receiving an annual lease payment of $6,000 because it's a guarantee of residual value. They're guaranteeing this amount. We debit inventory, put back the inventory back, and credit lease receivable. We removed the lease and we debit back the inventory. So this is the last entry. So this is the life of a direct finance lease, simply put. This is the life of a direct finance lease. You can, again, review the schedules to get comfortable with the numbers where every number is coming from so on and so forth. But this is the best way for me to explain the concept for you. Once again, I would not worry too much about direct financing, at least I will be comfortable, I will be comfortable with it in a sense that it involved a guarantee by a third party. I highly doubt it you will be receiving a simulation on it. It doesn't mean you won't, but I highly doubt it. But you might have to answer a multiple choice question about it. So I gave you more than a multiple choice question. Make sure you are prepared to do so. Once again, if you take a look at my website, farhat-lectures.com, I create my courses to mirror image your CPA review course. Good luck, study hard and stay safe.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzpZsQEeQg4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCVjKqobe98eXN3pfyB3l-ug	Maths X CBSE OD C 2005 1 23 OP1		[ "Maths", "X", "CBSE", "OD", "C", "2005", "1", "23", "OP1" ]	2012-06-11T07:08:28	2024-02-05T07:57:48	267	VZCu-nwyR6Q	Hi and welcome to the session. Let's work out the following question. A question says, a tent is in the form of a cylinder of diameter 4.2 meter and height 4 meter surmounted by a cone of equal base and height 2.8 meter. Find the capacity of the tent and the cost of canvas for making the tent at rupees 100 per square meter. Now this is how we interpret the question. We see that this tent is in a form of cylinder. The diameter is 4.2 meter. Since the diameter is 4.2 meter so radius will be d by 2 that is 4.2 by 2 that is equal to 2.1 meter so this is 2.1 meter. It is surmounted by a cone of equal base and the height of the cone is 2.8 meter. We have to find the capacity of the tent. So radius will be 2.1 meter. Height of the cylinder that is h is equal to 4 meter. Therefore the curved surface area of the cylinder say c1 is equal to 2 pi rh that is equal to 2 into 22 by 7 into 2.1 into 4 that is equal to 44 into 0.3 into 4. That is equal to 52.8 meter square. Now height of the cone h is equal to 2.8 meter. Radius of the cone is 2.1 meter. Therefore the slant height will be equal to square root of 2.1 the whole square plus 2.8 the whole square. That is equal to square root of 4.41 plus 7.84 that is equal to square root of 12.25 that is equal to 3.5 meter. Therefore the curved surface area of the cone say c2 will be equal to pi rl that is equal to 22 by 7 into 2.1 into 3.5. That is equal to 22 into 0.3 into 3.5 that is equal to 23.1 meter square. Therefore the total surface area of the tent will be equal to c1 plus c2 that is equal to 52.8 plus 23.1 that is equal to 75.9 meter square. Now we see that 1 meter square canvas costs rupees 100. Therefore 75.9 meter square canvas costs 75.9 into 100 that is equal to rupees 7590. So our answer to this question is that the capacity of the tent is 75.9 meter square and the cost of canvas for making the tent at rupees 100 per square meter is rupees 7590. So I hope that you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Have a good day.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZCu-nwyR6Q", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCbPP6F-3ASqkBkT9Obro-TQ	2022 Charles Schwab Challenge Betting & Odds \| Quick Picks	Betting on the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge can be uncertain for some as the big event nears.

This feels like a great setup for Hovland this week And my data also pinpoints him as a prime putting progression candidate because of his splits within 15 feet moving on I like Sam Burns as well this week Burns wound up top 20 at the PGA championship last week He ranked 19th in a stroke scheme approach But 69th of 78 golfers to make the cut in stroke scheme around the green We'd be talking about him a lot more if the wedge game was even neutral when he finished top 10 But Burns, you know has win equity. We've seen that in the past with him Be open to a top 10 market though this week a lot of good names at the top of the field But with those big names with the nitpickle a little bit more and one thing you might hear about Burns this week Is that it's got a lack of course history. He has a missed cut in 2018 T 31 in 2019 and that's it But that was Burns before he broke out as a different Sam Burns. This is a new and approved Sam Burns He's a legitimate contender at Colonial and because of the field at the top We get a pretty good number on him this week also like Maverick McNeely this week If you looked at the bottom of the leaderboard at the PGA championship among the cut makers You will see Maverick McNeely's name down there at a plus 15, which is Admittedly not good the ball striking the overall t-degree data also not good, but one event's worth of data It's not predictive of anything let alone just the next event. It's very misleading the longer term data on McNeely is quite good for the price He's another golfer who should benefit from a de-emphasis on stroke skiing around the green this week McNeely 73 percentile in this field in adjusted ball strike over the past year. He's a plus putter He's got three straight main cuts at Colonial. I like him as a sleeper But also as a top 20 option that'll do it for my favorite bets for this week's Charles Schwab challenge best of luck this week Let's hit a winner	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzAnoMbP3zA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Actually, we'll be auditioning as a jewel. We're here to f**k you. Well, then, you certainly had a lot of jobs here. Well, I'm a bit of a spark plug and, well, DCU-TV lady, I... No, my name is Han. Well, Han, erm... No, no, sorry, my name is Han. Are you saying Han or Ham? Han. I'm sorry, but who's this gentleman sitting here behind you? Hello, Ms. DCU-TV lady. My name is Carl, I'm Dylan's co-host and I actually believe I can help with this Ham, Han situation. So it's... Ham. Ham. Ham. So... It's H-A-M-D? There's no D, it's Han. It's H-A-N. I don't... But who, what? No, it's like home except with a B at the end. Oh, two Ns. Two Ns. Like Han. Ham. Like Han, Hannah. But Han... No, no, no, Han. First of all, I need someone here to work. Wait, shut your mouth. I think we've had enough. Shut your mouth. What did you just say? You're coming across stupid. Sorry, I'm coming off stupid. Sorry, you two are the ones who wore shirts and dressed up for an interview here in college? What? This is the studio. Why are you dressed up like that? Shut your mouth. No. Guys, just get out of my studio.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTf0-NNCG0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Welcome to John Park's workshop. It's me. I'm John Park. Here we are. Awesome. All right. First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who came by last night for the unboxing on AidaBox 19. That was loads and loads and loads of fun. And I really appreciate that I get to do wacky stuff like that. Thanks to all of you. Thanks for supporting our community, buying cool stuff in the AidaFruit store, getting AidaBox's, things like that. It really helps. So, let's see. What else I wanted to let you know this will be a probably slightly more freeform show today or maybe you might think of it as a throwback to earlier shows where I used to sometimes just build something on air. Because I think what I want to do today, I've got a couple of things, normal things to do, some things I'm not doing. I didn't prepare a, or actually I didn't make a like a one minute clip of the last John Park's product pick of the week. So, I don't have a recap to play of that. But I am going to build something. I'm going to take a crack at just the most basic use of our ortho snap apart keyboard on an RP2040 feather from scratch. So, I'll be putting some software on there. I'll be doing a little bit of the soldering of header pins and wiring and looking at diagrams. So, it'll be that kind of thing. Hope you dig it. Thank you C Grover for letting me know. Microphone's peaking a little high. I think I had goosed that up yesterday when I was dealing with audio difficulties. But let's get to it. So, first of all, product jobs. Yeah. That's what I wanted to say. AidaFruit job board. Did you know about this thing? We've got it and it's right here. And if you head on over to jobs.adafruit.com, then you may see something like this. Here's a job opening for a software developer in CC++ Python Arduino. And it is at a company called playlightpong.com. Light Pong. I wonder what Light Pong is all about. I can take some guesses. This is in Chicago. It is a contract job. They're looking for software develop to join the team. Need assistance writing and maintaining a framework for the handheld game device. Ooh. All right. I'm going to click on the link then. Let's see what this is. Playlightpong.com. And ah. Hey. That looks cool. It's one-dimensional Pong. Really neat. All right. Well, that sounds super interesting. So, if you're in the market for a job, and it looks like it's probably an on-site gig, is my guess. They're in Chicago. So, you might want to check that out. You just go to jobs.adafruit.com. We have free postings. We have free job postings and free resume postings. So, head over there and check that out. Let's see. So, next thing I did mention that. Let me switch this screen out here real quick. The product pick of the week was on Tuesday. I don't have a recap video, but I'll give it away. It was this 2.7-inch sharp memory display. Really cool display. A neat display technology. And that was the product pick on display. If you want to go check out that video, I'll be posting the one-minute recap later, and they'll probably play it on Ask an Engineer next week. Maybe not. We might miss that one, because I'll have another show by then. But those were half off during the show, which is a good reason to tune in on Tuesdays for that show, because you get a deep, deep, deep discount. And actually, the other thing is, this sharp memory display I mentioned is featured in that Playdate handheld game machine. A lot of handheld game machines I mentioned today. That is available today for pre-order. So, I'm not affiliated with them. I don't make any money for saying that. I don't have one. If I get one, I'm that close to pre-ordering one. It's between that and a Euro-Rack module I want. But if you want to get one of those, if I get one, I'm going to pay for it. I'm not making any money to get that or getting a free one. But they look cool, and they use that really snazzy monochrome display. Very retro. So, go check that out. And let's see. Next up, let's check in with our Discord. If you're wondering where the chat is at, this is it. We've got a Discord server with, I think, something like 25,000 members or something like that. There's probably a robot command you can type in to ask the number of members in there. It's like, question mark members? I don't know. I won't test that, but maybe one of you will. And head to theatafru.it, that's our URL shortener, atafru.it slash Discord. You'll get an instant, whoa, we've got 30,100 plus members. Thanks, Mr. Certainly. Instant invite, if you head to the live broadcast chat channel, that's where we're hanging out right now. But we have a whole bunch of other channels from everything from announcements, pet photos, off topic, help with CircuitPython, Arduino 3D printing, help with audio, Raspberry Pi, and on and on. Much members, Andy Calloway, that's right. So head on over there. That's where a lot of the chat's happening. I also see some people over in the YouTube chat. Hey, F-A-Z. Hey, Ronald Bone. Nice to see you, Gary T. Welcome. Thanks for joining us. Let's see. How about, looks like no questions. Everything's good. Lars is lurking. You know what? Lars is back there, and Lars has a untitled goose game goose sitting on his head for some reason. Not sure why. You see that? Right there? I don't know why. I don't know what's going on. I think my daughter had something to do with that. Okay, so next up, let's do a little CircuitPython Parsec. Why don't we? Let's get all set up for that, huh? All right, I'm game. For the CircuitPython Parsec today, I want to show how you can read a capacitive touch pin or pad on a CircuitPython device. So here I have a CircuitPython, or rather, here I have a Circuit Playground Bluetooth, and this will work on nearly every microcontroller board that has capacitive touch pins, which is most of them. And the way that this works, you'll see that when I touch one of these pads here, it is both lighting up a little LED right on the device to let me know that I've pressed it, and I'm printing out to my little serial REPL display there, cap pad touched, cap pad released. So that works entirely on capacitance. In fact, it doesn't even require contact. You could put a piece of paper over that. It still works. And it's a super useful way to do input. Here's how it works in CircuitPython. And here's how it works in CircuitPython. It's really simple. I'm importing the board so that I get pin definitions. I'm importing touch IO. That's what we use for the capacitive touch. And in this case, I'm also importing digital IO just so I can light up that LED. Then I set up one of the pins as a touch IO pin with this command touch IO dot touch in, and in parentheses, the number of the pin. I'm using board A5 in this case. Then I'm setting up the LED. I'm setting up a little state variable called last touch. So I know when I've touched and released. And then during the main loop of the program, here's all that happens. We watch that touch pin value. When that value goes high, it means it's been touched. And then I can do some things. In this case, print out the cap pad is touched. And then I'm also lighting up that LED and flipping my state change variable. When I release, it says if the touch value is zero or not, so if not touch pin dot value, and my state variable is true, then we've released it, we turn off the LED and we print released. So that is how you can set up a capacitive touch pin in Circuit Python. And that is your Circuit Python, our sec. Once again, by the way, I want to say thank you to your good friend and mine, Mr. Todd Bot, Todd Bot in our Discord, who has a great Circuit Python tips and tricks page, which is one of my one-stop shopping places to go and grab cool tips that I can share with you all. And that is on Todd Bot's GitHub. So if someone can put that in the chat, that would be great. I can put it in if no one finds it or just Google for GitHub, Todd Bot, you'll find it. Dexter Starboard says Funhouse has CapTouch, that's right. The CapTouch pads on the Funhouse, in fact, are exposed out front on these little three ravens or crows here. I forget which they are. Those are capacitive touch pads, and you can see there's silk screen paint on top, and yet it still works. So it's not based on closing a contact. All right. So let's take a look now at this kind of upcoming project I've started working on. If you recall last week, I started showing how to design a switch plate for mechanical key switches. And the example that I was showing is this sort of big honking number pad sort of thing that I'm building. Interesting thing about this is that it is going to have non-1U spacing on it eventually. So let me look for some other props. Do I have a single, let me grab a thing off of my wall here. Where did you go? There it is. So this was from my product pick show. That is a 1U switch there. I'm going to shoot this on the overhead, in fact, so give me a second to do a little setup. This certainly says they need more chats open. Wow, a lot of chats. Thank you for moderating. We appreciate it. Let's see. I'll pop over a down shot camera there. Hey, why'd that get so small? One second. Wait a second. There we go. And you're okay. So we can unplug this in fact now. Lots of blue tack holding things on. So this is the spacing of a single key switch and key cap called 1U or one unit. And the generally accepted spacing for that is three quarters of an inch or 19.05 millimeters. That's the spacing you want from center to center for a 1U key or key cap. And so these here you can see these are 1U, one unit. But if you look at the keyboard you have in front of you, there are probably some weirdo keys that are multiples of that. So there are or fractional multiples. So you'll find 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25. I think this shift is maybe 2.25. This spacebar is like 6.25. So there's a lot of different sizes that these can be, which means we're not on a grid anymore, which is a little weird, a little scary. So one of the things I'm working on is a setup for building those layouts when they aren't 1U. And in fact this numpad I'm building is going to use some 2U. I believe these are 2U for the enter key, that big zero, and this plus key. So those ones are going to need different spacing. And then there's this one, which I think is 1.75, which is going to have to go down here. And it's not quite going to match up there. So I'm not sure if I'm going to do that or not. I realize that that's not an aesthetically pleasing spacing. So since we want to build things that are not on a grid, that's actually why Lady Aida built this snap apart ortho keypad. So this thing is, let me check my focus here real quick. Peel that blue tack off. That's bugging me. Let's go grab focus. That's better. So you can see that this has the connections between the keys that are necessary to do the diode matrix as well as the neopixel strand. So all of these are connected on traces that are running through. In fact, let me go to the big down cam here. Put me in the corner. So these, is that still not in focus? It's hard to tell when I'm focusing it. You know what? Hold on. That camera is at a low resolution. That's partly why. Hang on. Hang on. We have the technology necessary to fix this. Watch this. Zoom. High resolution. Yeah. So what we can do is snap these apart and lay them out pretty much in any spacing we want. So you could do something like a hugely ergonomic keyboard that's mounted inside of two halves of a couple of bowls and have like a crazy kinesis type of thing or a big weird tower or put them on your pants. I don't know. But I'm going to go a little simpler than that and eventually just snap a few off of one row so that I can do that 2U spacing on the end there and down here at the bottom where I need to. So first step of this is just using the thing as it is. So that's snapping apart without doing anything weird. So that's what I wanted to do today is take a look at how to just set this up and use it with a microcontroller. I'm going to use the Feather RP2040 which is lovely and available and we have enough GPIO pins to deal with the number of columns and rows that we have here. So I'm going to jump over to the Chrome browser again for a second and let's take a look in the learn guides. Just type in ortho in the learn guides and you'll see there's this ortho eight of root NeoKey five by six ortho snap apart guide by Catney. By the way I am still curious if there's like an engineering reason I should just ask Lady Aida why this is being called five by six because I always think of things as width height resolutions of graphic images with height. Your dresser is this many inches by this many inches in the depth. I'm sure there's a good reason actually as someone pointed out to me video you often talk about vertical scan line resolutions if you're just talking about 720p for example but when you talk about the actual thing I always think of width and height. Anyway we'll call it the five by six it's printed on there so Lady Aida wins right there or you can just do that turn it sideways. Now it's five by six. So this guide goes into how the ortho keypad is set up and actually I'll give you a brief aside ortho why is it called that. So let's look at a plonk keyboard. It's called PLANCK. So plonk keyboard where is here's OLKB. So these keyboards here's even a video what's a plonk keyboard. These keyboards are ortho linear they're called which means they don't have a staggered rows of a more typical keyboard. They instead are on a grid so when you're typing you just go straight up instead of off at diagonals and there's actually some pretty good research I've seen saying this is more effective more efficient easier to learn it's not too hard to relearn I don't have one I haven't used it but I'm going to build one and I believe there are claims that the staggered rows we use are just literally a holdover from how you have to fit the mechanical typewriter arms that all of those arms running off of the keys to their pivot to the strikers they can't be straight in a row so I don't know if that's true or not you probably make little bends but so an ortho or an ortho linear keyboard just means it's on a grid so you can you can look into that that's just one company who makes them there's a lot of people who make those out there and so this goes over the layout here if we look at this pinout page you'll see each of these squares on here mini PCBs on the one main PCB they have the kale sockets so that we can plop in a key switch so I'm just gonna try not to bend um wiggle wiggle there we go uh you couldn't see that sorry so I've got a key switch popped onto those two little key sockets that you see there and then they have this neopixel and these are south uh some of these sometimes these are made on the north but you can flip it around like that and use it that way if you want uh they have to be somewhere so those shine up through usually a little light pipe or hole in a key switch it's pretty standard to have have those in key switches uh so that's one string essentially of neopixels and you can see those are running through some traces in this zigzag pattern so if you were to just light them up one at a time like a typical neopixel row you're going to get that pattern that snake snake kind of pattern uh and then you can see here there are um redundant pins for the columns and then there are redundant pins for the rows so we can read a column and a row to determine which key is being pressed you can see here there are also uh in pins for the signal for the neopixel data line and then that's going to be tied to each consecutive one on the out now you don't have to wire uh any of those neopixel connections on here until you start snapping things apart and moving things over so by default those are um all wired to each other and we only need to put a single in data pin power and ground at the beginning of the chain and it'll from your microcontroller run all the way through uh but they're there in case you start breaking stuff apart that's how you re rewire that circuit uh there you can see the top and bottom uh pin rows the left side is the voltage in which will typically be three volts or five volts depending on the microcontroller more likely three volts these days uh and there's a couple ground pins there as well that are shared for neopixel and matrix then if we take a look at the next page on using this with circuit python you have a really nice diagram that catney made on uh if you're wiring up this whole board here's the connections you're going to make and i'm going to make at least some of these today just to see if we can get it working get it started so we have uh a i'm going to take a look at this large blow up here you can see this shows uh we're going to run three volts so three volt or volt in we're going to run ground to ground that's it for power connections and then we have a neopixel in pin uh which is which one are we using for that uh board d five to this snap in so you can see here board d five this green wire is running to the top middle pin there which is how we're going to um run the data line the beginning of the data line for neopixel and then the rest of it runs through uh and then every other connection you see here are sets of columns in row so pairs pairs of uh digital input pins on the microcontroller running to a column in a row column in a row column in a row column in a row column and so if we uh scroll around this image here actually let me go back to this page where it's a little smaller uh you can see we just fan out getting columns and rows all right uh so let's see beyond that uh when we want to code it we can use our uh keypad library which dan halbert wrote and this makes uh easy work of keypad matrix keypad shift register or straight gpio uh per pin switch per pin type of uh keyboards like the macro pad is but this one is way more this is uh 35 switches throughout my math rate 36 36 switches uh six times five right uh 30 30 switches not so good with a quick math uh so we have 30 of these we can't do 30 gpio pins on many microcontroller boards other than uh something like a grand central uh or a mega so we're we're definitely going to use the diode matrix capabilities here and the board actually has the diodes uh built on so it's a matrix with diodes to prevent ghost key switch um presses which is when you press one but it registers multiple uh so the code here imports board for pin definitions imports keypad so we can use all of that good easy uh helper code for for reading the the key matrix and then neopixel as well and you can see this is the key setup right here keys equals keypad dot key matrix and then all of the row pins are called out by name and all the column pins are called out by name then uh we define uh a key to pixel map so that you can do uh light up per neopixel per key if you want to you don't have to do it that way uh and then we uh let me go down to the main code here in the main loop here while true key event equals keys dot events dot get so it just checks for any key events happening on the diode matrix uh and then the um key number is returned and then we can use that to light up a neopixel or do whatever else we want uh so let's see let's start getting some of this setup so i'm gonna put this large screen up on my window so i can see it and then i'm gonna head over to the work bench and uh let's see what we can do so hold on i'm gonna make a screen i can see from over there i should have grabbed a laptop or an iPad but i didn't um and let's get started so hey that's more cameras than i meant to have viewing right now let me turn this one off here goodbye me there we go so i was thinking with this one um i have a couple of these uh boards i've left all of them over here so let me grab one and for testing and maybe for um the construction of the the final thing ultimately what i want to do is make it easy to test some stuff out and uh easy to change some of the wiring and change some of the uh the placement of things so what i'm thinking of doing is attaching some angled header pins where i need them uh under the board so for example i'm gonna break off a row three of these and if i need to use the uh v in column and uh neopixel in here i'll have those ready for some header sockets to plug in while i'm doing testing on breadboard so i'll take this type of uh i love these um sort of soft flexi silicone covered wires so if i place that right like that i'll be able to run that to my breadboard without soldering a wire directly to this um and which gives you fewer options later and if i want to make a carrier board or something like that later i can use a uh some kind of like angled headers to get back down to a pcb so this will be uh this will be interesting for i think for testing purposes and what i'm going to try to do is um at least make like a little mini uh one of these right now rather than solder everything onto there because i think we'd all get tired of that so let me see if i can control my computer over there with this uh yeah there we go that'll work so i've got trackpad over here that i'm using to change a monitor out so what i'll do is uh let me fire up a soldering iron here i've got one of these little pen ones that run off of usb-c they're really nice and uh i can probably just place a few of these to keep everything level even though i don't need these sets of three everywhere set a few in the corners and i'm just going to solder the one i need so something like that uh and then i'm going to try a very tricky maneuver here of flipping it over without making those fall out put some fingers on there flipping it over setting it on the edge of my workbench sliding it on and there we go make sure i put those facing out it's pretty good except for one that missed let me grab a little pick tool to flip that i could have used some tape or some rubber bands or some blue tack too uh but i did not okay that's good but now i lost this one so that's the one that matters let me try to get that back in place without i see you under there all right that's not a puzzle game that i'm going to win there we go whoo all right was it worth it i don't know sorry you couldn't see that fun game okay so i'm going to solder this uh little set right here and i don't have a fume extractor here but i do have a fan blowing from my hvac that is going to disperse those fumes pretty rapidly okay uh so let's see i will um i almost wonder about soldering in those corner ones now i'll leave them because when i start breaking stuff apart i i won't be as happy with those there okay so that one i need and now i'm gonna uh take a set of uh just two and what i one thing i like to do let me sorry let me zoom in here we can get a lot closer uh one thing i like to do with these if i'm doing um if i have a set of three holes there to work with and i only need two of them is rather than it's really terrible to try to solder individual ones sorry let me grab some needle nose pliers um but what you can do is if you have a reason uh to not include one if you're ever trying to um make sure you don't actually accidentally plug into something you don't need you can pull a pin uh right out from there and just end up with with two uh i'm trying to think this is yeah i can flip this over now i'm not worried about those that is an alternate in for um the neopixel data and i'm not going to use that so i think i will signal that to myself so i'm not wondering later hey what are you trying to plug into there so i just remove that pin just drag that right out of there and now we can solder in a pair uh now i think i'm going to end up i don't mind hanging these off the edges um i don't want to point them inward that'll become messy and you can see we've got this uh little space about i think it's like 10 millimeters spacing there's not 10 millimeter what is that for uh i've lost all rulers oh i i moved them that was bad idea uh so this this little border here let's call it five millimeters uh it doesn't exist on the sides but i'll probably add it when i do a case for this so i don't mind hanging these off the edges here so let me place that right there is that the limit yeah that's as close as i can get with this uh so let's go ahead and solder that in all right uh so now we've got uh that's ground up here is power and in fact i'll start connecting up some cables to these luckily i've got a lot of them so let's do power right here and we'll do ground over here my only uh desire for these um cables that we have is i wish they came in more colors because we just get four colors with these i could use eight easily especially for a project like this so now we're going to use um let's see this up above is going to be a row this uh this pin right here so we'll place a cable there and this is going to be a uh column and the neopixel so we'll do a column in yellow just so that the columns and rows are different colors uh and then for the neopixel i'll probably just go ahead with another yellow cable now just so i don't get confused later i'll go ahead and plug my neopixel cable into this pin d5 on the uh rp2040 feather so i think that's yeah that's what we're using there and then i can go ahead and plug power to 3.3 volts by the way this um feather rp2040 one difference between it and uh some of the other feathers is that it doesn't have a v reference voltage uh it just has two 3.3 volt next to each other there uh then i'm going to plug in ground to ground like so uh yeah we can go ahead and plug in the first column in room in fact we'll just do a couple of them and test and see if we can read four keys um i'm not sure if that'll work or not we'll find out so let's see this uh column is going to go over to pin 13 and this row is going to go to d4 okay so the next one we're going to do is just this single pin uh right here so uh for that i think i'll go ahead and i think i will solder in just the set of three it's going to be a pain to deal with singles i don't know making this up as i go along so hopefully we end up with a happy result if i put that in the right way yes and then i'm going to do a row and then i'll go over uh and we'll first of all i want to take a look at discord because i can't see it right now in case people are screaming that something horrible has happened to my audio i'd love to know uh but first let's do one more uh row here so and then like i said all of the traces exist running through these little mouse nibble ready snip off points uh there's actually some tiny perforations there to make those a little easier to snap apart uh if you snap them apart you'll then be bridging connections that currently exist uh okay so let's do one more column and row so i'm just going to use the same color scheme here uh so this is going to be the leftmost pin here and this will be the top most here and these ones go off to 12 and 12 for the column and the row goes to are you going to a three looks like i think i got that right all right so uh why don't we pop in some key switches sometimes you'll test you'll want to test things like this without any components added in case you've screwed up and bridged power and ground but uh key switches are pretty uh immune to problems the only thing i'd be likely to do is fry out uh neopixels if something was done horribly wrong these are some kale box black switches which are linear like a red but a little stronger a little stronger spring in there and so all right i'm gonna bring this over and i'll check the chat and see what's going on where did you go chat there you are hi chat uh is there any reason you could not attach the headers with the pins go under the board keep the square form out without having the you could totally do that uh cryorix uh so the the question is would you just put pins straight up into it definitely can i was actually just trying to keep a lower profile when you put a pin and then the cable into it you add a decent amount of space that i didn't want to do so i was trying to keep things level but absolutely that would work as far as this circuit goes um untitled lars game yikes okay good i don't see any panics happening in the chat right so uh let's take a look then at uh setup for this i'm gonna go to the circuit python setup part of this and let me put a little um down shoot view like that okay so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna take this here feather rp 2040 and see if i can reach it with this usb c cable boy i love usb c just because i'm not constantly flipping it over three times to match polarity so uh what i'll do is uh i'm gonna hold down boot select and then press set i'm not um sharing windows of it i now see a rpi i Raspberry Pi rp 2 drive show up that's the feather and uh in my browser i'm gonna go to circuit python dot org downloads and if we do rp we get the feather rp 2040 uh i'm gonna actually double check the guide to see and catney i think is in the chat do we have a i'm going to use the circuit python 7 i think i think that's probably not a bad idea with this i don't know if you mention it explicitly but so let's get circuit python 7.0 point oh alpha five i'll download that uf 2 and it's downloaded now i'm gonna go ahead and drag that to the rpi drive it will um flash it and then restart uh and then i i think keypad might be baked into that let's find out this is kind of a fun uh fun way to find out without even heading over to uh to a web page to to look at it i'm instead gonna let's take a look at this view here uh i'm gonna go to chrome or uh atom rather and this one is probably that and let me open and see if there's any code on it that's not the right drive this is okay that was uh okay that was just a memory display stuff i did on that one great so what i'll do and just to prevent problems i'm gonna unplug i started using a macro pad as my camera switcher but i haven't uh done the shenanigans to prevent it from showing up as a drive thing yet uh so let's take a look in the repl here i'll do import board dirt board that's going to show me uh all the pins that are on the uh rp 2040 here that looks right right uh and then to check the libraries that are on it can i check that on the board now i can't remember uh does that have yeah you know what this is a i don't think it is okay this is a bit of a diversion i don't need to take but maybe i'll do that another time as a as a tip when i remember uh how to check which libraries are baked in so what i'll do is back in uh here i'll go to the top hit libraries i'll download the bundle version seven or i can use bundle fly why don't i do that so if we look at the uh code here in the guide circuit python usage this example here has download project bundle uh let's see that's a four by two okay we'll change that a little bit to just be two by two i think that should work so when i hit download project bundle we're going to get a zip file i'll unpack that and that'll include code and libraries so again you won't see this part but i'm going to go ahead and uh drag the contents of that code and library directory to my circuit pi drive here circuit pi drive paste two items dur that's right uh replace replace i'm just overwriting some stuff okay so let's jump back here and see if we run the code just reopen that in case i do anything wrong okay so i'm going to set two rows two columns uh the neopixels on d five yes okay the row pins this is a little different than what i was looking at for that full example so let's let's change those so uh column is d 13 and d 12 oh i have that okay uh row is d 4 a 3 oh it is right okay so i can just get rid of those two uh number neopixels should be four i don't know if there's anything else to change in there so i'm gonna hit save and let's see what happens hey so we've got key zero pressed released key one pressed released key two pressed released key three yay we have success i'm very excited about that uh so that is the uh the real time hey does this stuff really work if you just look at the guide in fact it does so hats off to dan halbert for this wonderful uh library that we're using and thank you so much catney for the very clear uh instructions in the guide there uh so now i think all that's uh that's going to remain is to either wire up more of this or i may stop um adding the pins until i do a little bit of my modification of the layout um so to get some of that two u keycap size spacing uh that i want to do for these you can see that that just doesn't work those those those don't fit like that and you can't just offset them like this so uh there's some pretty specific spacing that we'll have to do to get that to work and that means i'll be removing some keys and uh snippet them off and rewiring them so uh that's that's going to be oh does someone say the led mappings are off oh totally off whoops hey thanks for pointing that out uh jim neal let's fix that okay does anyone see the problem in the code i'm guessing someone did uh let's see uh someone tell me what what you see let's see uh where is the oh sure that makes sense actually right because one two three four one two three four yeah yeah okay so uh the full keyboard goes neopixel zero one two three four five so zero one two three like that so we need to do some remapping here uh unless i were to cut right there and and cut uh or rather re uh jumper that over to this side then we get one two three four um so i guess i won't deal with that in code we would just have to make like a little table that says the neopixels that we're lighting up are not um zero one two and three but would be zero one seven and eight right that's it so thank you good good catch there uh jim neal over in the youtube chat and uh sorry for anyone with um if i'm triggering your ocd with that right there where well that's kind of upsetting all right so i think that's gonna do uh let me know in the chats if you have any thoughts or questions about this i'm gonna go ahead and uh work on my layout stuff over in grasshopper uh and rhino so i can get the the spacings or parametrically so i don't have to just hand hand model that uh and then i'm gonna laser cut myself a nice key plate or three print one uh and then i'll be able to um essentially support the boards with the key switches and key plates from the top and then i'll probably do a bottom plate that screws in and nestles them in there so stay tuned that's what's coming up next i'm also still working on my macro pad for minecraft um and i'm gonna try to commit the code real soon and get the guide out there so that you can do minecraft shortcuts on your macro pad one other brief uh announcement i will point out that hey look macro pads came back in stock this morning and we have 40 left so if you were uh someone who did not get a um ate a box but you saw the ate a box unboxing last night and thought my gosh i'm really dying to get my hands on one of these now's your chance i believe you can get both this uh bare bones macro pad and you can also get the hardware add-on kit um um so those are those are available right now uh and there's a max of one per customer so they should we'd love for each person who wants one to get one and not uh not have people collecting too many all at once right now we'd be happy for you to do that in the future when we get uh more of them in stock but uh so i just wanted to mention that uh and i think that is it yeah so hey thanks again for stopping by i appreciate it and uh i will be seeing you next tuesday for my next product pick of the week and uh then probably continuation of this project next thursday as i build this out so that i can finally have the gigantic numpad of my dreams i still haven't asked my mom if it's okay that i kept these keycaps but i think she's okay with it maybe i'll check now after the show if not i'll be buying myself some dsa profile double shot keycaps because i love them all right uh thanks everyone for watching and i'm john park for eight of fruit industries this has been john park's workshop and i will see you next week goodbye	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ_gJAnJNbo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This is a continuation of our supervision series. Today we're going to be talking about the three stages of supervisor and supervisor development. We're going to review the three stages and they're the same for supervisor and supervisor, forming, storming, and norming. It's important to remember that when we're helping supervisors develop, we're still providing that non-judgmental support and using a counseling or therapeutic approach to address feelings, thoughts, and actions that may impede the supervisor's professional performance, but we're not providing counseling. We're using that warmth and empathy to identify areas where that person might need to seek counseling. Supervision is consultative with self-evaluation and exploration. I don't want to be doing all the work. I want my supervisees to be able to look at their sessions and go, you know, I can see how I impacted this particular situation or I can see some of the dynamics that are going on, and evaluate ethical quandaries that may be coming up. And one of the last slides I'm going to propose to you different areas where we need to help supervisees develop, and I'm going to encourage you to think about ways you can do that with your supervisee. And even if we're not technically in supervision anymore, we've gotten our license, we're on our merry way, we still need to self-supervise, and occasionally it certainly doesn't hurt to continue to get supervision, whether it's meeting with a group of colleagues on a weekly or monthly basis or something like that. Three structures underlie the development of basically our new identity, our new hat, our new role as a supervisor or for the supervisee. A sense of autonomy, self-and other awareness, and motivation. So eventually we want to encourage the supervisee to get to a point where they feel like they can function autonomously, they feel like they've got it, they've defined who they are as a clinician. They're aware of their impact on self and others, they're able to empathize and do all those things, and they're motivated. And motivation is one of the first things that go when people start getting burned out. And one of the things that we really need to do as supervisors is teach from the very beginning, and this should even start happening when people are in college, teach them how to prevent burnout. Teach them how to deal with stressors and frustrations and clients that don't go so well, so they can manage those things a little bit better. So phase one, and from a developmental perspective, basically you're looking at childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, in terms of the progression of someone becoming a clinician or becoming a supervisor. In phase one for the supervisee, the supervisor needs to create a safe place for the supervisee to explore new techniques, to try out things, to go into a session with a new kind of client or even maybe the same kind of client, and basically get their land legs. You're really solidifying those basic counseling skills of listening, nonverbal skills, paraphrasing, all that stuff. And in phase one, they're still starting to learn new techniques. You're going to have supervisees, some who are more interested in starting to learn techniques from the get-go, and others who are really wanting to get that humanistic undercurrent going, where they can provide the basic environment that is conducive to change. So you're going to have to kind of play with it, depending on where your supervisee is at and where their motivation is. Now in phase one, it's really important, remember I said autonomy. We don't want to spoon feed everything. It's really important that we ask supervisees what's their opinion, what do they think needs to happen, what interventions do they think would work, and if they come up with a great big goose egg, then we can refer them to start looking. At this point, at phase one, I really want them to start learning how to do research and go online to the National Library of Medicine, go online to journal articles or whatever, and start figuring out, okay, I've got this client who's presenting with this particular issue. What are some of the best ways to address it? Helping them figure out where there's resources, where they can find good group activities or good homework activities to drive home a particular point, such as boundary setting. There are tons of websites online where you can download worksheets and find different activity ideas. So at this point, in phase one, I'm really encouraging the supervisee to start learning where those resources are. I'm not going to leave them out there and go, well, good luck to you. I'm going to point them in the right direction, maybe suggest some search terms if they don't have luck on their own. But I want them to feel like they're becoming autonomous. They'll bring those tools back into supervision and then we'll talk about, okay, you have seven tools to deal with clinical depression, someone who has clinical depression. Which ones would you use with which clients and why? So then we start to process them. And again, I want them to sort of sort those tools using their own judgment and be able to explain to me why they would use them. I want them to teach me how to use those tools. You don't know what you don't know until you start to teach it. I've learned that the hard way. I can hear stuff and I can read stuff and I can say, you know, I have it down. I've got it. And then I go to try to teach it to somebody else. And I start stammering and I don't know, you know, I'm not sure what I'm doing here. So, and it's really important even for us as supervisors. If we're going to teach a technique, do a dry run, you know, try to teach it to teach it to your family members, teach it to yourself if you need to. But try to figure out how are you going to explain it and make sure that people are understanding it. And a lot of supervisors, remember, we're playing to different learning styles. Kinesthetic learners, remember, prefer to manipulate the information. They want to take that technique and say, let me flip it around in my head and think about who it would work with and what issues it would work with. And that's how they learn best. Visual learners are going to want to read about it. And then they're going to read about what clients you might use it with. Obviously, they have to, you know, implement it and work with it. But they're going to prefer to read about it first doing, you know, homework assignments and worksheets like one of you says you prefer the worksheets. I really, you know, I'm a visual learner, so I really like worksheets myself. And then auditory learners are going to prefer to hear about it, such as in a brown bag luncheon or, you know, a video or something like that. And there are a lot of videos online that can help you learn different techniques. You want to be careful and make sure whoever's teaching it is, you know, kind of has a clue about what they're doing. But a lot of the techniques are out there. So the internet can be a good resource. In phase two, adolescents. Now think about how we deal with adolescent children or young people, whatever you want to call them. And think about what they're going through. They're trying to define their identity. They're trying to find kind of where they belong, what their niche is. Same sort of thing for the adolescent or the storming is what they call it, supervisee. They are alternating between exploration into new areas. They're going out. They're trying to learn something new. And then they come back and they go, you know what? That didn't work so good. I like this comfortable set of tools that I use right now. And that's great, you know, that they have a comfortable set of tools. But as clinicians, as supervisors, we can encourage them. We can share with them when we've tried techniques that have fallen flat or, you know, had us had sessions that didn't go so well. Because we want to make sure that they are not losing enthusiasm. We want to encourage, but we also want to encourage them to examine why did it fall flat or why did the session not go well. Look at what the dynamics were, what was going on. It could be the client was just not emotionally present that day. It could be the supervisee was not emotionally present that day. But in adolescence, it's where they're safe home base, but they're going out and they're exploring a little bit more on their own. They're trying some more things. They're not nearly as reliant on us for telling them, you know, you need to go look at, you know, books by this particular author or whatever. And then in adulthood, the supervisee and supervisor have reached sort of mutual interdependence. It's built on a foundation of universal values such as faith, hope, love, peace and respect. You know, you've created an environment that's flourishing. You've created an environment that is nurturing to both you and the supervisee. I learn from my supervisees. And, you know, obviously I'm hoping they're learning from me too. Even as adults, we can learn more about ourselves. We can learn more about techniques. And this is a place where you reach more of a level of collegiality, if you will. And, you know, in phase three, rarely will you have a supervisee who is working towards licensure supervision who reaches this stage. You know, they say it usually takes three to five years before you really hit this stage of adulthood. And some books will tell you it's actually more like six to nine years, but whatever. And, you know, thinking back over my career. Yeah, my first, you know, three to five years kind of flew by and I was learning a lot of stuff and I was drinking it in. And then when I got to phase three, I was much more solid in my ability to articulate what my theoretical foundations were, what techniques I used, why I did them. You know, I was more there. So, you know, be aware that most of the people we're going to work with in supervision are probably phase one and maybe, you know, moving into phase two right as they're getting their license. So level one is forming is characterized by high dependence on others, a lack of self and other awareness, categorical thinking, high motivation and commitment to work. So you have these people coming out of graduate school and they are just wide eyed and they are enthusiastic and they're going to change the world. And they haven't started doing paperwork yet. They have a certain amount of dependence on the supervisor, a lot of counselors in the beginning stages of forming will come to the supervisor and they're going to want reassurance, is this okay? How do you think I'm doing? What do you think I should do next? And we can answer those questions. I would encourage you in order to spur development to respond to it. Well, what do you think you should do? You know, what are your ideas? And then I'll tell you mine. And then we can talk that way. In the early beginning, like the first three months, sometimes that is a little bit more challenging and they really need me to throw out some ideas, but most of the time, especially because supervisors know what to expect when we create our contract. They know they're going to be asked to come up with the ideas. So yes, they're dependent on me to a certain extent to help them navigate to help them figure out, you know, when do you make the call to the abuse hotline to do all these things because that confidentiality thing just freaks people out. Which, you know, I don't blame them, but this is the time where it's really important for us as supervisors to really be looking at the ethical, the administrative and the clinical aspects of what they're doing. Let's not form bad habits. A lot of forming counselors are plagued by feelings of anxiety and driven by the desire to do it right. And it's not going to work, you know, whatever it is, any technique you use is not going to work with every client. And what does right mean? Is it textbook? Or is it doing it in a way that best meets the client's needs? So you may need to make some adjustments here and there. Now, obviously, if you're implementing a evidence-based practice to fidelity, you don't have as much wiggle room. But we're just talking about general techniques. When you're sitting in a session with a client, what does it mean to do it right? And that's important for counselors to be able to sort of articulate in their own mind so they can look back over a session and say, you know, I was doing it right. I was doing everything I needed to do. We just hit a hurdle or we hit a speed bump. In level one, they're also formulating clinical concepts on the basis of a single aspect of the client's history, such as an abuse history or, you know, substance abuse or depression. They're just looking at this one thing. And we need to help them expand and not only look at the bio-psycho-social history, but also look at the person in the present from a multi-dimensional perspective. What things could be contributing to this depression, anxiety, or whatever is going on? A lot of times forming supervisees practiced by formulas such as all clients in early recovery are blank. All clients who are depressed need blank. And we know from, you know, experience that that's just not the way it is. You know, all client, you can't really say anything about all clients. So we want to look at what their symptoms are, what they're presenting with, what their motivation is. And we want to dispel this rather rigid theory and encourage clients to look at, or supervisees to look at each client as an individual. What's going on with this person? When you are diagnosing depression, for example, with all the different permutations you can get, there are like 124 different ways that depression can present in treatment and still be diagnosed as major depressive disorder. Which means you could have 300 clients and, you know, only two of them have similar symptoms. So we need to look at what are the symptoms, what's going on with this person? What are their resources and what are their strengths? In level one, a lot of times supervisees don't know how to formulate treatment plans. And this is one area that I hit really hard because I think it's important, not only because we got to do treatment plans, but I think it's important for the supervisee to be able to explain to the client, when you have a problem, how do you develop a goal and a solution? How do you develop an individualized service plan? And because it's basically goal setting. So in my practice, a lot of times we start out with something they know, whether it's a recipe or rebuilding an engine or, you know, planting flowers, whatever it is, we start out with that. And I say, write for me a list of instructions for how to go from not having whatever it is to having the finished product. And they do that. That's usually pretty easy. That's not scary. So then we throw out something like major depressive disorder and I give them a clinical history so they know what symptoms they're dealing with. And they have this client who's presenting with these symptoms and they're here. That's, you know, ground zero. And this is where they want to be. That's a finished product. How do you get them there? We focus a lot on knowledge, skills and ability, starting out by helping to educate the client or helping the client educate themselves, then developing skills slowly, and then being able to generalize those skills so they can use them, you know, in the outside world. And then I want them to take the information that they've gotten from learning how to do treatment planning and help make sure that their clients can set a goal. If the clients want to get a raise at work, well, let's set those goals. Let's start looking at what are the sub goals, what do you need to do? If the client, you know, when they start doing relapse prevention, you can have the client really be integral in development of that. A lot of times supervisees can't visualize or articulate the therapeutic process from intake through intervention and termination. It's like, okay, the client comes in, they've got major depressive disorder and we talk and we meet for eight to 15 weeks and not sure what we're going to cover, but, you know, at the end of 15 weeks, they're going to be feeling better. Yeah, no, no, let's look at, you know, can you articulate what's going to happen? And again, it's individualized. So you need to look at what the client is presenting. But you have a client that presents with these, you know, four symptoms, and they want those four symptoms gone in terms of recovery. So how do we help them do that? What interventions might you use to help them start moving towards that end goal? And, you know, we can make a list of interventions and talk about ones that may be too advanced and ones that are, you know, let's start here. But I want them to really start seeing how all of the ingredients go together to make the full recipe. The supervisor environment needs to be one that encourages autonomy of providing instruction, support, and modeling within a structured setting. So we're not going to let them flounder out there on their own. When they've got questions, you know, we're going to try to answer them. And if we don't know, one of the best things you can say is, you know what, I don't know. I will look that up. And if a supervisor, for example, says, you know, I don't feel like I'm very competent or confident writing treatment plans or taking progress notes, then as a supervisor, it's incumbent upon us to a refer them out to try to find some resources that can help them learn that. It's incumbent upon us to also do the same thing. So we can make sure that our supervisor knows how to find that information should they need it. But then we can talk about it in supervision. We can say, you know, all right, so for this month, we're going to work on enhancing your progress note abilities. And each week, I want you to bring your progress notes for each client and then we'll create a rubric to score those progress notes based on, you know, what we figured out needed to happen. Yes, I'm big on rubrics if you hadn't picked up on that. And for those of you who are unfamiliar, a rubric is basically just a score sheet that has different concepts or things that need to be present. And you check them off, either as yes, no, or you can do a Likert scale kind of. Yes, it's there. It's kind of there. It's really there or it's perfect. But it does help put a visual and put more of a numerical assessment on each treatment plan or progress note or whatever you're looking at. The primary responsibility of supervisors for level one counselors is to protect client needs at all times while encouraging risk taking by the counselor. So we're looking at, you know, what is the client meeting? What is the clinician doing? And, you know, sometimes there are going to be some techniques that we share with the supervisor that they're not familiar with or they hadn't used before. We'll role play them a few times in supervision. And then, you know, we might encourage them to try that with the client or teach them about a worksheet, like the ABCs of cognitive behavioral, teach them how to teach that and then have them teach the client how to do that and give them homework. But we want to encourage them to get outside their comfort zone a little bit and, you know, maybe push some limits because a lot of level one counselors tread very lightly. They're afraid of triggering a crisis. They're afraid of putting the idea of suicide in somebody's mind. They're afraid that they're going to break the client and our clients generally are pretty resilient. So I encourage the supervisees to go slowly. I mean, we're not going to just start doing wild wacky stuff, but recognize the reality of what's going on. To facilitate growth, a supervisor should introduce the counselor to ambiguity and conflict. So again, a lot of this for me in my sessions comes up when the supervisees come in and they say, I'm just not making any progress with this client. I don't know what's going on. And so I will encourage them at that point to start explaining to me, well, what do you think you're bringing and what areas might you be hindering? What else could be done with this client? And is there possibly something that we're missing in the diagnosis? You know, maybe you're trying to treat this major depressive disorder and you're just not making any progress. The client is tired all the time and just feels lousy and has fatigue and difficulty concentrating, but they haven't had a physical in three years. You know, that might be something to look at, but I'm going to try to push the supervisee to coming to that conclusion on their own. So I might say, what are some other things that might be causing these symptoms? And we'll write them up on the whiteboard and then rule out anything that we can. And I'll sort of teach them how to differentially explore what might be going on. It's imperative that we take into account the supervisee's learning style. You know, they've graduated from college, obviously they figured out how to learn on their own, but we do want to create an environment that is efficient and effective as possible so they don't feel like, oh my gosh, this is just painful every time they come to supervision. Now, Level 2 counselors are storming. They realize they can't save the world and may become frustrated by their inability to solve difficult problems. Now, this is, you know, again kind of adolescence. Reality has kind of slapped them in the face a few times, probably, and they can start getting discouraged. And this is when it is so important for us as supervisors to point out the good things, point out the progress that certain clients have made. Point out the data and the reliability and the reality that not every client is going to get better with you. You know, I believe that every client does have the ability to get better, but it may be a bad fit. And that's not because you're a bad clinician, it's just a bad fit. There are a lot of extra therapeutic factors that could be going into that. They have difficult problems. They may, you know, feel like they're kind of banging their head into the wall. So this is the time where we back up and if you're doing group soup, it's great because then you can do a brown bag on a particular case. But if it's individual, again, just start, I like the whiteboard because I'm very visual, so I like to make sort of mind maps of what we're talking about. And I encourage the supervisee to be the one to do it. I sit and I let them ride on the whiteboard because it's important for them to be able to do the process. This stage is characterized by vacillating between autonomy and dependence. They think they've got it. They're on par and they get a little offended when they get constructive feedback sometimes. But they also have times when they're feeling really dependent. When things get really tough, they may come back and go, I'm out of my depth here. And that's okay. You know, that's, that's when we step in and go, well, it's good that you recognize you're feeling like you're out of your depth. What's going on? What do we need to do? And we can help the supervisee stay consistently motivated, realizing that there are going to be some things that are really tough. So just like, you know, when your kids are growing up and you're letting them drive for the first time, when you're letting them go for their first sleepover, when there's apprehension on our parts of supervisors or parents, there's apprehension on their parts too. They're excited about it, but it's a little intimidating to think that, oh, I've got to write the whole treatment plan myself. Yeah, write it, and then we'll go over it. You know, you don't necessarily have to give it to the client first. We'll go over it. We'll review it. We'll make some modifications. I try really hard with counselors who are in the storming stage to make sure that I encourage them to use their philosophical approach and their techniques in the treatment plan. And we may talk about what I might do if they don't happen to be, you know, cognitive behavioral in nature. But, you know, I really want them to figure out what's comfortable for them and what is effective for them. Because if you remember from two sessions ago, only about 15% of the change that takes place in counseling is because of techniques. So I'm not going to get real hung up on what technique a person uses as long as it's safe and ethical. Although Level 2 counselors have more skills and tools, they often don't know which tools to use with which client and why. You know, they may just throw cognitive distortions at every single client who comes through. They're not sure why they know cognitive distortions tend to make you upset. We need a little bit more than upset. We need to understand how those cognitive distortions impact the person to produce which symptoms. You know, help me understand if we address the cognitive distortions, what's going to get better? Because that's how you keep the client motivated. If the client understands, well, if I start working on this, then this particular symptom or this particular issue might start to get better. They're going to be more motivated. Level 2 counselors often vacillate between rejecting advice and assistance to desperately wanting to be comforted and protected. And, you know, I'm thinking back to college when, you know, there were times that I just wanted my daddy to fix it. And there were other times that I was just like, you don't know anything. So going back and he always did know a whole lot more than I gave him credit for. But at this point, the supervisee is sort of struggling to find their independence and know what they know and know what they don't know. Level 2 counselors can empathize excessively with the client. They can get stuck down there in the well. And I always use the analogy of empathy versus sympathy. Sympathy is if somebody's down in a dark, cold, wet well, they're stuck down there. You lean over the side and you go, ooh, looks dark, cold and wet down there. Sucks to be you. Well, you know, obviously you probably wouldn't put the last part on. But you're standing up there. You're warm. You're comforted. You're in the light. It's not a big deal. You have sympathy for that person. You know, it probably is awful down there. Empathy is when you strap on that repelling gear and you go down there and you sit with the person in the cold, dark wetness. Now the difference is that you've got the repelling gear on so you can get back out. Level 2 counselors often cut the rope and they get stuck down there with the client over empathizing and start getting really burnt out or can get caught in that area where they can't see the forest for the trees because they can feel how distraught the client is and become more distraught themselves. Level 2 counselors progress in a cyclical fashion, not linear. So they're going to make some progress and then they're going to back up a little bit and then they're going to make some progress and back up and that's okay. You know, think about your own learning processes, whether it was counseling or algebra. You know, you get a few things and then you forget a little bit and then you get a few things. I know for me, you know, I'm helping my kids, my daughter's starting to do a college math course and I'm having to go back and review it. I knew it before, but I'm having to review now. Level 2 counselors will get some enthusiasm, they will get some confidence and then something will happen and knock them on their butt. We'll help them get back up and take some steps forward again. And if they're going in a linear fashion and never falling back down, you know, I want to question what's kind of going on with that because that tells me that either they're probably not as aware of self and other and as aware of the client's progress as they need to be. They're probably thinking the clients are progressing far better than they are or, you know, something else may be going on, but I expect, just like I expect in my client base to have some hiccups with clients where they go backwards a little bit. It's important for clinicians to be able to see, you know, where their confidence is, where they feel their knowledge is, because sometimes they'll get way up here and then they realize, ooh, I missed a big step, I don't know that, so let me go back. Let me learn a little bit more and then I'll try it again. Now, when they moved to Level 3, which is norming, and I said, you know, depending on the text you use, some places say that you don't even get to the norming level until you've been in practice as a licensed clinician for six to nine years. Others are a little bit more generous and tend to say that people start getting into this norming phase as early as two or three years in, but it's a long process because our clients are so diverse, our situations are so diverse that it takes a while to really what I call get our land legs. And so we wouldn't expect norming in somebody who just got out of college last year. This involves establishing their own therapy model and normalizing that approach in a range of clinical situations. So they have to have had experience with people with co-occurring disorders, with generalized anxiety, with personality disorders. They have to have had a breadth of experience and figured out, you know, this is what I need to do in this particular circumstance and how to handle it. Level 3, norming is characterized by secure autonomy, awareness and acceptance of self and others. So, you know, accepting people where they are and a stable motivation. You're not that wide-eyed, enthusiastic going to save the world, but you're also not pessimistic either. You're aware that you're able to help people, but there have to be some other elements, like they have to be ready to help themselves. And you have some techniques that can help increase their motivation. That's great, you know, when to use those. And it's, you know, a little bit more methodical at this point. Now for supervisors, and remember I said yesterday, sometimes you can have a supervisor at level 1 and a supervisor that's, you know, at level 2. So, it's important to know where we are as supervisors. Level 1 supervisors display a mechanistic approach. You come in, you do the interview, I take you on as a supervisor, we do the individual development plan, you sign all the paperwork. Every week you come in, we do XYZ, yada yada. And it's just, it's very routine. Level 1 supervisors often play a strong expert role. And for me, I have always tried to kind of back off of that even with level 1 supervisees, because I want them to realize their own potential. But a lot of level 1 supervisors think that they know, think that they're the expert, and they try to guide supervisees towards certain outcomes, towards certain results or answers. I tend to like supervisees to come to their own results and answers, and then if it's not the one that I had, you know, hoped they were going to come to, we'll talk about what's going on with them. The supervisor that's level 1 is undergoing, hopefully, supervision. This rarely happens, and ethically, it really should. If you are a new supervisor, you really should get supervision from somebody who's a seasoned supervisor, who can help you figure out what paperwork needs to be done, how to write the individual development plans if you're still struggling with that, how to deal with supervisees at different stages. Supervision for level 1 supervisors is moderately to highly structured, and they're invested in trainees adopting their model. So a level 1 supervisor may only take on supervisees who adhere or embrace the same model they do. You could argue whether that is ethical and beneficial for the supervisees, but with level 1, the supervisor is basically, by doing that, they're minimizing one variable. So they have more control on the situation, and those supervisees are certainly going to develop well. However, it's important to recognize when supervisees have different philosophical approaches how you're going to handle that. Level 1 supervisors have a lot of trouble with level 2 counselors, because level 2 counselors are going through that teenage year where they're storming, and they're vacillating with that push-pull, and the level 1 supervisor may just be like, oh, it's so inconsistent. I wish this person would just slow down a little bit instead of trying to race out there and trying to grow up too fast, so to speak. Level 2 supervisors may have confusion and conflict issues with things that are going on. They're trying to figure out that boundary between being a clinician and a supervisor. They're trying to figure out how to best enhance their supervisees and really develop their techniques and their approaches, because we all have unique approaches, a unique flavor that we bring to counseling and supervision. Level 2 supervisors see supervision and counseling as more complex and multi-dimensional. At this point, the level 2 counselor may start getting overwhelmed by all of the moving pieces, all of the variables that might be affecting the client outcome, because you've got the client variables, you've got the clinician variables, and then you've got the supervision variables. Creating Venn diagrams to see how all those overlap and interact can just be mind-blowing. So it's important for the supervisor that's at level 2 to be able to step back and take a breath and go, let's not make this too complicated because you can get lost down in the details. A lot of level 2 supervisors spend too much time focusing on the supervisee. Remember, level 1, they're focusing on the client. Level 2, they're focusing on the supervisee and developing these skills instead of saying, how's the client doing? How's the client progressing? What do you need my help with in order to help the client progress? Level 2 supervisors can lose objectivity and have a lack of self-supervisee differentiation where they want the supervisee to just, would you just do what I tell you to do, please? And again, I can hear myself as a parent of a teenager saying these things. Sometimes a level 2 supervisor will blame the supervisee for their problems, and that's a big ethical issue, but it's one that we need to be aware of. When the level 2 supervisor starts to get overwhelmed because they've got too many supervisees because this one supervisee is taking up more time than you would hoped they would or a variety of things that could go amiss. It's important to reflect on what's your part in it, etc. And the level 2 supervisor can have fluctuating motivation because sometimes, just like the level 2 counselor fluctuates between being dependent and being independent, the level 2 supervisor deals with that when the supervisee comes in and they may have fluctuating motivation on who they want to work with. They may just have this motivation that I really want to just work with level 1 counselors. They are easy, they're malleable, they're awesome. Or they may want to work with level 2 clinicians who have more skills and tend to be more vocal and they have frustration working with supervisees that are as dependent. So motivation can fluctuate with who they're working up. Level 3 supervisors are norming. And again, there's no set rule for how long it takes to get to this stage. It takes however long it takes. But the level 3 supervisor functions autonomously, displays self and supervisee awareness. You know, I'm aware of what I would do in this situation, but I'm also aware of what my supervisor would do. Whether it's the same or different. Differentiates boundaries and roles, administrative, clinical, etc. And is able to supervise at all times, preferring to work with a certain level of counselor. So level 3 supervisors are great. However, you know, sometimes you have level 3 supervisors who only want to work with level 2 or level 3 supervisees. And they really, you know, most of the time, they either don't like working with level 1 or level 2. Level 3 clinicians are usually pretty easy to work with. So this can be difficult in an agency setting where, you know, you have, it's just kind of a pick of the litter who you get and what stage they're at. But being aware, being self-aware of which types of clinicians, what level of clinician you prefer working with, helps you be more aware, just like there are certain diagnostic issues or certain types of clients that you prefer working with. You know that. It doesn't mean you can't ethically and serve other clients. I apologize, y'all. It doesn't mean you can't do it. It just means that you have preferences. And being aware of those preferences, especially when it comes to making sure that you're not showing favoritism is really important. So as I said earlier, we were going to think about this. It's our duty to ensure that counselors remaining in the field are competent with regard to personal characteristics, philosophical foundations, communication abilities, counseling skills, administrative skills, and ethical behaviors. So how can you enhance those, each of those in your supervisees? While y'all are thinking, I'll kind of share with personal characteristics. I encourage supervisees to develop a wellness plan to prevent burnout. And I want them to write it down and, you know, present it. So not necessarily to the group, but just to me. So I can see that they're thinking out thoroughly how they're going to handle their client load and all that kind of stuff. I also encourage them to take on additional training on cultural awareness because a lot of us had a class when we were in graduate school, but we didn't have a lot of information on techniques to help work with clients from different cultures. And we didn't have a lot of information about all of the different factors and variables that go into culture. So there's so much to learn. And I think it's really important for supervisees to be aware of that. So I may assign them readings to do. I may have them take inventories or something. There's a fair amount of things that I could do. Philosophical foundations, like at the beginning, I have them write out their theory of counseling and mental health and mental illness. And then we review that at about every six months. And I say, do you still agree? What do you want to add to this? Because most of the time I know even today I am still periodically adding and building on my philosophical foundations. So helping clients understand or supervisees understand where these things come from. They're communication abilities. Now that's pretty much direct observation. Motivational interviewing, motivational enhancement, paraphrasing, empathy, all that sort of stuff. Making sure that their verbals and nonverbals are effective. And that can be done just through direct observation. Counseling skills, a lot of times I'll ask my supervisees, from your philosophical foundation, what skills do you want to work on developing? What tools? Because I want you to have a toolbox. And that's one of their goals to work on throughout the first six months or whatever. Where they can identify things that they want to learn, how they're going to learn them, books, conferences, whatever. And then we're going to make a plan and a deadline date. So we make sure we're making progress. And one of you pointed out that when people are discussing their philosophical foundations and their theories, they need to be able to defend or express or explain why they think these are their theories. It's not just, well, that seemed like the coolest thing when I was reading my abnormal psych book. Tell me how is it that cognitive distortions do this? Tell me how is it that failure to form effective attachment relationships creates this situation? And explain to me how it doesn't happen every time. You know, what other variables might mitigate that? So we know with humans, nothing happens every time. With administrative skills, I have my supervisees bring in at least one assessment a month, so I can review it. And earlier, I have them bring more. Every client that comes in, I want to see their integrated summary and their treatment plan. And depending on the supervisee and where they're at with progress notes, I may have them bring in their progress notes for each client, at least until I'm confident that they are able to write a good progress note that's, you know, not too sparse and not a dissertation. Asking supervisees, how are they learning skills? What skills they want to learn? And how can we help them? And that's a great question. How can I help you learn these skills? What is it that you need from me? Because, you know, let's not just assume, you know, if they want to role play, if they want us, if they want the supervisor to assign a particular readings, if they want to go to a conference that they need us to facilitate, you know, the payment for or whatever, it's, you know, how can I help you? And sometimes they're going to want to learn new skills that may not be in your toolbox. So how do you handle that? And, you know, generally, it's time for both of you to learn the tools together and seek supervision from somebody else who is, who is really good with that particular tool, hopefully, of somebody at your agency. And ethical behaviors. If ethical behaviors or ethical issues are not coming up from my supervisees, which is pretty unheard of, it comes up, you know, it, they come up. I will propose ethical scenarios at each supervision session. You know, I have a list of 40 ethical scenarios that I want to hear how they solve. So if we go through a supervision session and there was no ethical dilemma, I will propose one. Sometimes they're easy to solve. It's, you know, a pretty direct answer and takes two minutes. Others may require some weighing of the pros and cons and, for example, notifying someone, notifying the significant other who is in a sexual relationship with someone who is HIV positive about that person's HIV positive status, which would be obviously breaking confidentiality and, you know, notifying them of the HIV status. If that person, if the person who's your client who has HIV is unwilling to notify their significant other and use protective, take protective steps in order to avoid infecting their partner. Is it incumbent upon you to, do you have a duty to warn that person? And, you know, there are, in many states, it's a felony to breach confidentiality for that regardless. In some states they will allow you, and I believe HIPAA itself allows you under certain circumstances to notify the partner. But there are a lot of factors that have to be present before you can ethically break confidentiality. How would you? Let's see. One of you suggests showing Supervisors your own notes from different sessions that you've done. And I try to teach Supervisors one of the tricks that I use, and you may love it, you may hate it, but whatever. It helps me get the notes done and helps end the session, kind of ties it up in a nice bow. The last 10 minutes, you know, after the 50 minutes are up, we write the progress note together. And I asked the client, you know, okay, so summarize for me what we talked about today so I can put this down here. What do you think were the important points? What goals did you accomplish, you know? What goals or what things are you going to work on for next week? And then if there were any referrals that I needed to make, I would do them at that point. So we spend that last 10 minutes writing the note together. We see their progress. They review what we talked about. It just kind of condenses everything. And then my notes done. So that makes it a little bit more helpful for me. But let's see. You can also, one of you suggested asking Supervisors about ethical dilemmas that they're experiencing or they've heard of, you know, because they're, especially if you work at an agency, there are frequently ethical dilemmas that come up. So how do you handle it? How do you figure out what's law versus what's ethics? And you know, where do you look up those laws? Like if you have a client who is in residential treatment and law enforcement shows up with a arrest warrant, can you, do you, notify, break confidentiality and let law enforcement know that that person is there? Are you able to break confidentiality? So there are things like that, that you can do. Most state boards also have notes meeting minutes where they go over ethical violations. So if you go to your state board and look and see what people are getting brought before the board on, those are other things that can come up. And yes, a lot of them are going to have to deal with dual relationships. There's a lot to do with dual relationships with e-therapy, with texting and all that stuff too that you can talk about. Okay. Forming, whether you're a supervisor or a supervisor is akin to the developmental stage of sort of a young child. You're developing skills. You're learning this new world. Nick is citing. But you have a high dependence on your own supervisor. You're, you know, going back to that parent going, am I getting it right? Am I learning what I need to learn? And you can be sort of rigid or as Piaget would say, concrete in your application of principles. You know, this is the way it's got to be done. When you get to the storming phase, it's sort of akin to the teenage years, vacillating between independence and dependence. But you can get easily overwhelmed and have difficulty kind of with boundaries, not only between you and the client, sometimes over empathizing, but also between administrative, clinical and ethical roles that you have to play. Once you get to the norming stage, the person has found their identity is either a therapist or a supervisor. They tend to be a lot more flexible recognizing that, okay, well, normally I am pretty concrete, cognitive behavioral, but in this particular situation, that's just not going to, that's not going to be effective. You know, when I'm working with somebody who has extreme acute trauma issues, you know, I'm going to use a more rosarian humanistic approach, most likely. Norming, the person's also better able to take more, more, take multiple perspectives and they're more advanced at balancing multiple demands of the client, the counselor and the agency. So you know you have to have the billable hours. You know you can only go for an hour. That's another thing that supervisors have difficulty with, is cutting it off at that hour and not going two or three hours. Well, the person was upset. Well, yeah, the person was upset. I hear that. So how can you deescalate that and set boundaries because you had two other clients waiting in the waiting room? So talking about those different things, because that issue comes up a lot. All right. I appreciate all of the input and feedback I got during class today. Are there any questions? All righty. If y'all are good to go, then you can go take your quiz and be done and I will see you next Tuesday. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzx9q8XsAPA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It's amazing the couple of months ago we would have said there's no way this Yankee team could win 10 games in a row. But now the way they are playing and most importantly getting the big hits and big opportunities during games you can see why they're winning starting pitching has been fantastic the bullpen has straightened itself out. For me tonight's ball game was all about two out hitting standing in the sixth inning with the big double then you have Sanchez in the eighth inning both of those hits with two outs Jack. I think early on in the year we're talking about this lineup not getting the big hit in the big spot. You can't say that anymore no you can't say that anymore but you can say that they've been the best team in baseball now for about a seven week period that game was thorough it was impressive and it was expected. That's the thing about the way the Yankees are playing right now. They've won 10 games in a row and they feel like they absolutely should go out there and win the 11th game in a row tomorrow. I thought Montgomery had to grind his way through five innings tonight but he did well when the Braves had runners on base they were 0 for 7 with runners on base and we talked on the pregame about looking for Boone to be aggressive with his bullpen and aggressive with Jonathan Loisica. That's exactly what happened. I thought his two innings were pivotal and then Peralta picks up an inning Chapman picks up an inning. I think that's the thing about the Yankees are playing right now they've won 10 games in a row and then Peralta picks up an inning and the Yankees say oh ho	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZcOJPCGa9U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCJkRhXkp8Rs5fGWroLpzrxg	Global Blindness course: Keep it simple!	Dr Daksha Patel speaks with Professor Allen Foster, co-director of the International Centre for Eye Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, about his personal experiences of the impact of planning for the prevention of blindness. Professor Foster also shares his key take home message for anyone involved in the delivery of eye care at the district level. As you watch, think about planning and management for eye care in your own setting. Planning can be regarded as multi-staged and complicated. What could you do more simply to make a difference for blindness? © 2016 International Centre for Eye Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

In your experience, what would you say has been the strength, the impact of planning for prevention of blindness over the years? I think to answer that question I have to kind of go back to what impact it's had on my life and to kind of explain that. So when I started I was a young doctor and I went to Tanzania as an ophthalmologist and for five years I was working as an ophthalmologist, helping a lot of people but basically doing clinics, doing theatre lists, routine day after day after day without actually thinking about what difference is it making. And then after five years I came back to England, I was doing some more studies and I was on a course and the question was asked, what do you want to achieve before you die? And that question really hit home to me, was I going to have a life that was just busy doing doing or did I actually want to achieve something and leave something behind, leave a legacy? So when I went back to Tanzania I tried to put that thinking into action and began to think about, well how did we want to plan the services at the hospital? How could we make them better? And how would they carry on when I left? And then from that I started working with the Tanzania Ministry of Health and looking at eye services in Tanzania and how to plan those so that they were more equitable for people and more available. And then subsequently after I left Tanzania I had the opportunity to work with CBM internationally and to visit many countries and start thinking about the problem of global blindness and the fact of the matter was 75% of blindness is avoidable. And so planning starts with why you're doing it and the why was blindness is avoidable. Therefore we have to do something about it and instead of just doing doing doing it was to plan services either locally or to district level or to country level or internationally but in order to achieve the problem or achieve overcoming the problem of avoidable blindness and thereby leaving a legacy for those that come after us. What would be your key take home messages for anyone who has done this course and is working at a district level hospital? So key take home message I think one of the dangers is sometimes we over complicate things so there's this idea of planning you know has to be a huge document with objectives and strategies and all sorts of words and so on. So I think my key home message would be first of all keep it simple. Make it understandable. You identify a problem and you want to see that problem address. You want to see change and then how are you going to do that and then do it the second thing keep it simple second step by step do it bit by bit achieve the first step and then the second step and then the third step. Don't try and make it a big five year plan where you're kind of thinking about all the resources that you need and you end up with a huge document and then nothing happens afterwards so identify the problem identify the change keep it simple go step by step remember it's about people and not about paper it's about getting people to work with you on it a team to address it. There's a very famous African saying which is how do you eat an elephant so the problem is how to eat an elephant and the answer is you do it mouthful by mouthful bit by bit step by step but with your friends you can't do it alone you have to have people with you so you have to share the vision share the idea and then work together to address it keep it simple step by step with your friends teamwork essence of plumbing.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZoZDpgObYU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC_eJsmK-DMqA9Dy7bLKKL-g	3.7 Choice		null	2019-06-10T07:11:11	2024-02-05T06:30:56	228	VzDz5Un0TLE	Choice. Allow voting. It's sometimes useful to be able to see at a glance how your learners are progressing or to gauge their opinions or needs. Moodle has an activity called choice which allows teachers to set up voting options with radio buttons and a learner chooses a particular option. It doesn't only have to be how well you feel you're progressing. For example in this choice the students are asked to select a group for their project work. As a teacher you can always see the responses because you have a view responses link to take you into the reports and if anyone fails to make a choice you can make the selection on their behalf. Let's go into our course and set up a choice. To do this we need to turn the editing on from the gear menu top right and then in the section where we'd like to add our choice voting activity we click the link add an activity or resource. This brings up Moodle's activity chooser. Choice is an activity because students are interacting with Moodle and when we click the button once we see that there are various examples on the right of how you could use a choice activity with a link to more help. We can click add at the bottom or simply click the radio button twice to take us to the setup screen. The first thing to do is give it a name which will identify it on the course page for our learners and we can give a description if we wish and take the box to display this description on the course page. If we're only going to have a few options which will show as radio buttons we can display them horizontally. If we think we're going to need a lot then we can choose to display them vertically instead. If we allow the choice to be updated a learner can change their mind. This might be useful if for example it's a choice about progress through the course and they might not be too sure of their progress on Monday but they feel more confident on Wednesday. You can enable a setting to allow participants to make more than one selection if you think it's appropriate. For instance when choosing preferred meeting times. If we limit the number of responses allowed then only a certain number may choose each option. This might be useful if you need to put students into groups or simply if you want to give them all a chocolate bar and you only have 10 of one particular type of chocolate bar. We then type in the options which we want to see against the radio buttons in each of these boxes. If we need more we can click to add more. There are other settings which might be useful to explore at a later date such as availability if you want to set a time limit to your voting and results if you want to decide whether or not you want your learners to see each other's choices and if you do whether or not you want them to see the names of the students who have chosen or not. You might also wish to select to show a column for unanswered. This means then you can see instantly who hasn't done this task because they will appear in a column of their own and you may make the selection for them. We just then need to scroll down and click save and return to course and we have set up a voting activity, a choice for our learners.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzDz5Un0TLE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
