I just watched the most amazing docker called the rescue is produced by National Geographic It's about the rescue of those 12 Thai boys on the soccer team and their coach from a cave when The the rains came and they'd been exploring the cave and then the rains like flooded Okay, so they couldn't get back out and so you know How the boys got out is because there were these cave divers all right these two two British men who did not look particularly impressive look rather scruffy, but they heard about the problem there flew to Thailand and They figured out with help how to get the boys out now they had a lot of opposition from the Thai authorities and If anything had gone wrong these British divers and then the other Angler that everyone seemed to be Anglo that they brought in to rescue these boys They would have faced you know life imprisonment or death through the Thai legal system So Thailand brought in their Navy SEALs that like their elite divers, but they had no Experience or ability with cave diving All right, so they were useless Looking at the Darko. It seems that every important person who played a major role in the rescue of these kids was not Thai So not every group is equally competent at every single task so the continent with the highest Per capita record for plane crashes is Africa Along with Russia and Southeast Asia. So when you had those two Boeing max planes that crashed I Where did the crashes occur one was on Ethiopian Airlines and one was on my Thai Airlines? Remember you had that that Malaysian airliner that just disappeared All right, that doesn't happen to American airliners doesn't happen to Australian airliners Qantas has never had a fatal crash the Australian airline All right, the worst safety records come from Africa followed by Southeast Asia and Russia and so There are some groups who I'd be a little more dubious about entering a skyscraper that they had designed and built an overseen and maintained right and another big fan of flying out of Malaysian or a Thai airline because these These countries have horrible safety records and it's not just some isolated safety event This this lack of competence shows throughout these societies So it was these two scruffy Englishmen who had this minority sport interest who had this minority hobby interest of cave diving who Yes, that is Bonhoeffer on my shelf. It was these two scruffy Englishmen who who Would with the help from their Anglo friend who found a way out for these Thai boys and Saved their lives at great risk to them because if anything had gone wrong They would have been put on trial in the horrible Thai legal system So all the ways that the the Thai Navy SEALs try to do things We're not gonna work out the kids would have died So just left to the Thai's own devices those kids would have died for sure The only way out for these two scruffy English gentlemen so Competence matters and competence in each task. It's not equally distributed among all groups so These 12 Thai kids and their coach are alive today primarily because of these two scruffy Anglo cave divers and then US Army sent in help and Then these these guys got some of their other cave divers who are all pasty White Anglo guys pretty much became in and did this and the things that the the Thai's tried to do to rescue these kids didn't have a hope but like one Thai Navy SEAL died trying to navigate the the cave system so Keep diving is a particular skill. All right. It's not just the same as like regular diving and so Some people Like Anglos in particular. It's like it in the in the school system Like which type of kid is the most likely to do absurd amounts of work above and beyond What what the course requires? All right, it's it's usually Anglo's right. They do They're the ones who who develop science people like Charles Darwin. They're the ones who you know often Sees a hobby like editing Wikipedia entries like who puts together and edits most Wikipedia entries It's the same sort of people who go into a Thai cave Right and rescue kids that nobody else in the world Would would be confident enough to rescue So these scruffy looking Anglo dudes, right? I know that we're hearing all this in the media about how evil white man I well it took white man to go into Thailand to rescue these kids and no one else could do it. No one else was Remotely competent enough to to do it incredibly moving documentary the rescue Came out this year from National Geographic You will not regret watching this movie and The these Anglo men who put their life on the line, right they would have They risked at all. They had to sedate these kids To bring them out underwater and and sedating kids that you then bring out underwater is incredibly incredibly risky Right and these these altruistic Anglo guys who put their lives on the line They would have had a very very nasty end if anything had gone wrong But there were no alternatives to what they were proposing so Just just the mammoth gap in competence between these Anglo dudes and what the the tie The ties were trying to do was just enormous It's a competence counts competence matters expertise matters Expertise is not equally distributed for every single task equally among every single group in the world All right, some groups have expertise in some areas and other groups have Disproportioned amounts of expertise in other areas and they would not supposed to recognize reality that different groups have different gifts But that's still reality. You can reject reality, but the reality is different groups have different gifts	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz3FgaO-isc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCMfSH3HULOeoeEbxHkqF21A	Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee - 15 November 2016		[ "Holyrood", "Scottish-Parliament", "Scottish", "MSPs", "MSP", "Edinburgh", "politics", "Parliament", "debate" ]	2016-11-15T15:10:42	2024-02-05T08:38:51	4,256	vzZmFEqjHkQ	Good morning and welcome to the 11th meeting of 2016 of the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee. The committee has received apologies from the following members, Alexander Burnett, Claudia Beamish and Finlay Carson. Before we move to the first item on the agenda, I remind everyone present to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent for the duration of the meeting. The first item on the agenda is for the committee to consider whether to consider items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in private. Are we all agreed? Thank you, we are all agreed. The second item on the agenda is to take evidence ahead of the committee's scrutiny of the draft budget 2017-18. Last week, we heard from SNH and Marine Scotland that today we have been joined by representatives of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Can I welcome Joel Greene, the chief officer of the performance and innovation, Lynn Bunton, the head of regulatory services, and David Feithney, the flood act business change manager. My first question is on your budget for 2016-17. You mentioned that a declining budget has driven innovation, but that you have been driving innovation over the past five years. What have been the budgetary constraints over the past five years? Secondly, there was a rise in 2015-16, which then decreased in 2016-17. Can you explain what happened there? I think that we gave written evidence to the committee that our budget in 2016-17 was 35.4, just to correct that, which was 35.5 million. We have seen a reduction in some grant in aid over the years. The second question was the difference in the budgets between two years. The idea is that we have been driving innovation for the last five years, but it appears that the most immediate drops in budget have been this year. Has it been a declining budget over the last five years that has driven innovation, or have there been other factors too? Overall, we have seen a decrease in grant in aid by 11 per cent since 2011-12. We have driven innovation during this time, and there have been some changes to the capital funding during that period as well. The types of innovation that we have driven—we gave an example in the written evidence around reform of our science services as well. David could probably say a few words about that. Over a period of years, we have been driving down the costs of our science services. In terms of our laboratory services, we used to have eight laboratories in Scotland, SEPA-inherited eight laboratories back in 1996. We have been driving that down through the years, through developing better laboratory services and sharing those services across the organisation. We are now down that two laboratories, one in Aberdeen and one in our building in North Lanarkshire. Those two laboratories take on work from all Scotland now, so they take in samples that we take across Scotland. We have driven efficiencies there with our lab services and with the staffing of those. What are your expectations over the next few years? We cannot predict what the level of Government funding is going to be, but we do recognise that there are constraints around public sector funding in that. I guess what we are trying to do is to think very clearly about our priorities, our direction and continue to drive innovation. It is really our statutory purpose that helps to drive our priorities. The committee, a few years back, took evidence on that under the regulatory format. Our statutory purpose is to protect and improve the environment in ways as far as possible. We can also deliver health and wellbeing benefits and improve sustainable economic growth. We focus very heavily on our statutory duties underneath that. How do you prioritise between those statutory duties? What percentage of your budget is spent in regulation and what is spent percentage on flooding and how are funding decisions made in relation to those? I talk about statutory purpose. We deliver that primarily through our two core services, which are flooding and environmental regulation. It is not really a case back picking and choosing between different statutory responsibilities and it is not really about stopping services either. We are not going to stop doing flooding or environmental regulation. It is just genuinely about finding different and better ways to do it. Most of the changes that we have driven over the last few years and improvements, we would have made irrespective of the constraints around public sector budgets. A lot of the work that we have been doing on that has been really strongly supported by the work on the regulatory reform act that was passed in 2014. That is really going to help us to drive simplification in our approach to regulation and permissions. It also gave us some new enforcement tools to improve our effectiveness. There is a lot of this direction supported by that act. Angus MacDonald Yes, thanks, convener. Good morning. You mentioned the regulatory reform act, which brought you extra enforcement powers and was it extra income, if you are going to use the new powers? How much do you expect to take in from the higher fines for non-compliance through the new powers? Do you have a figure? The enforcement powers in the regulatory reform act have a range of new powers, including fixed monetary penalties and variable monetary penalties, but we do not receive the income from that. It goes back to the Government, so it does not come back to SIPA. Okay, I was not aware of that. I had thought that the money was to be ring fenced for SIPA. No, it is not ring fenced, it just goes back, I think, into the general pot in Scottish Government. Otherwise, it might have been incentive for us to take lots of enforcement action. Angus MacDonald Thank you. You have talked about your statutory duties, but you are now branching out into consultancy, as I understand it. The first question would be how much do you anticipate those activities generating? Perhaps more importantly, I presume that you are aware of the potential for conflict of interest in that, as regulators in providing that service? Very much so. Yes, you are correct. This year, we have started to look at this. We set up a small commercial services portfolio. It currently has three members of staff. It literally has only just been established. There have been a lot of discussions with the boards on strategy around our approach to commercial services, so we are really conscious of the potential for conflict of interest in our consultancy approach. Primarily, we are looking at that work internationally, so there is no conflict particularly within Scotland about the way that we approach that. Angus MacDonald It will all be outward facing. None of it will be deployed within. Angus MacDonald Well, some of the areas that we are looking at are the consultancy primarily internationally, but there are other areas. We hold a lot of data and information. A lot of it, of course, we make publicly available, continue to do so, and increasingly. Sometimes, there are people out there who want bespoke information products tailored to exactly what they need, so we are interested in exploring that. We are also interested in exploring other sources of grant funding as well. There are a small number of areas that we are focusing on. We have assets like a boat, so, again, could we look at that commercially as well? There is just a small number of areas that we are looking at commercially. Angus MacDonald So, to be absolutely clear, will there be any of it taking place in Scotland, the consultancy work, or will all of it be out with the borders? Angus MacDonald I guess I would never want to say never, but primarily it will be internationally, and if we are doing anything in Scotland in the case of being very, very careful that it doesn't in any way conflict with what we do in environmental regulation. Angus MacDonald Yeah, but if you have deployed three members of staff to this, you obviously have to generate incomes, so do you have something in mind to cover those costs? Angus MacDonald I think what we are looking at in the first year is for the costs of setting it up to be recovered, and then we will look after that and set targets for those. But this is new for us, and so we know other public sector organisations have done this, but it is new, and so we are just going to look at it and do it and see how it progresses. Angus MacDonald Okay. Morris, sorry, David. David Cymru If I could add a little bit to that, our flood forecasting and warning services that we provide for Scotland have had approaches from overseas about how we do that, so there are opportunities to sell our knowledge and our expertise, if possible, to get other countries up and running with that, and perhaps even including that within our own services, so expanding our services in Scotland to cover other countries, for example. Angus MacDonald Okay, that's useful. Morris Golden Angus MacDonald Joe, just with respect to the consultancy you mentioned cost recovery, do you mean the total, like full cost recovery, including anything that the three members of staff use, or are you talking about covering the staff? Secondly, in terms of the management and how those staff are operating, are you working along private sector models around utilisation rates, or how are they managing to configure with the rest? It's a tiny number of staff as a percentage of your total number, but I was just keen to see how you were thinking about structuring that so that you could expand. Angus MacDonald I think, again, it's only just being set up, and so we're still discussing the strategy with the board, but what we're looking at is the charging rates, but we also need to have discussions with Scottish Government around that, around income that we're allowed to keep, so we're just needing to, we're still working that through with Scottish Government as well. Angus MacDonald I think it might be useful to invite you at this point to keep us appraised of the progress on that, because obviously the committee takes a good deal of interest in your work, I think we're useful to get updates from you if you could do that in due course. Angus MacDonald Perhaps you do so. Angus MacDonald Yeah, okay, thank you. Angus MacDonald David Stewart Good morning. David Stewart I'll continue with the theme on funding and look perhaps at other sources of funding outwith your core funding. To what extent do you rely on partnership or other sources of funding like CapPuller 2, or structural funds, or Life Plus, which obviously has big pockets in terms of environmental funding? Angus MacDonald Certainly, I'll speak to that. David Stewart So we have about £5.7 million of other income. This is primarily EU funding, and we also administer the Walsh Environment Fund for Scottish Government as well, which is around £1.8 million. On the EU projects, there are two main projects that we receive funding for, and that's been Scottish Environment Web and also Life Smart Waste projects, so we receive that European funding as well. Angus MacDonald Could you identify how much European funding do you currently have in round numbers? You wouldn't necessarily have the figure in your head. Angus MacDonald Roughly, do you mind if I quote in euros? David Stewart Yeah. Angus MacDonald So the EU investment in Scotland's Environment Web was about 2.4 million euros, and then Life Smart Waste was about 2.1 million euros, so it gives you an idea of the scale of it. David Stewart Perhaps the depressing fact about the exchange rate is the pounds just about euros, so I can just about work that out. Clearly, we're all struggling with Brexit and the implications of what life will be like at long term. There's not a lot of certainty, but Government north and south of the border have said that they would repatriate structural funds, and there will be some understandable structural funds until 2019 anyway. Post that, who knows? What future proofing is your organisation done to try and make up the funding that you may no longer have in a few years' time? Angus MacDonald Well, we haven't stopped entirely engaging with the European funding process because we have some that we're already involved in, so we're not entirely pulling back from them, just proceeding cautiously at this point. And one of the main drivers for setting up that small commercial services portfolio was to look at alternative funding sources, including other sources of grant funding. Again, it's early days on that, but it's a key focus for us. Because one of the issues that you would have picked up, and I'll bring David in a minute, one that you may have picked up from previous evidence sessions and points that we've raised, is what kind of concerns me at present, certainly within where my hands and islands are at, is actually ability to claim and utilise structural funds has been a bit depressingly low, frankly. And I think the message that I would certainly put out is that we haven't left yet. There is budgets there. I mentioned a life plus budget is 3.4 billion euros. I mean, there's a lot of funding around, is it that, and the idea that we would suddenly stop is a mistake. But also, I think it's important that you do have some future proofing and look ahead, because that's a sizable amount of your overall budget, is it not? Angus MacDonald It is, yes. That's what we're doing. David MacDonald There's a number of things we're looking at within SEPA to do with Brexit. We're looking at the legislative impacts, the funding impacts, the solidarity and co-operation with other partner bodies across Europe, but also the EU nationals that are working within SEPA. But there are a number of flood risk management initiatives that touch on European funding and funding from other stakeholders. Often it's very difficult for a flood risk management project to go forward on its own, because the funding doesn't quite stack up in terms of cost benefit. So we need to look at opportunities where we can join those things together. In the Metropolitan Glasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership that started in 2002, it's a really good example of how Glasgow and SEPA to start with and now many other organisations have come together to manage flood risk in Glasgow, but also to maximise the opportunities that are around there. It draws on. It's got this 30 to 50-year vision for Glasgow. It's looking at Glasgow's future. It's looking at other opportunities to pull in money to make the objectives within the strategic management partnership to be taken forward, because the individual organisations can't afford that on their own. So it's coming together and by working as a group, but also accessing other funds. Some of those funds are through Europe and there are some impacts in terms of natural flood management as well, perhaps, with some of the studies that are being supported by European funding, like the Edelston Water study on the tweet, and some of the SRDP funding that encourages farmers to do other things around planting and set back from rivers and so on that can benefit flood risk in upland areas, but there's a danger that the disappearing of those funds or the having to seek those funds from a different source will be difficult and might impact on these if we don't find an alternative. Again, you'll be familiar with the points that we've raised in the committee before. There's a lot of worries post Brexit about the World Trade Organization rules, which basically say in order to continue to trade as part of the World Trade Organization that you can subsidise agriculture, which obviously is a shock to many of us. We don't know what the state of the nature will be, but I certainly know that farmers union north and south of the border are very worried about the future of financing of farming. Certainly from a flood risk management point of view, the key thing is that we are now taking a risk-based approach to flood risk management in Scotland through the Flood Risk Management Scotland Act and we're taking a catchment approach and we're looking at sustainable solutions for 30 to 50 years ahead, and in bringing all that together we've worked with partner organisations, the other responsible authorities, local authorities, Scottish Water, lots of stakeholders to determine what Scotland's flood risk management objectives are and what our priorities are. So they're on the table and they're there to be done regardless really of how they're funded or when they're funded. We have an ambition to do a certain amount of delivery of actions within the first cycle, but if we've got these things on the table for the first time now for Scotland, we know what our priorities are and we can work to achieve those regardless of whether we're going in the single flood risk management planning route or whether we're looking through structural funds or through redevelopment of city areas to ensure that those objectives are incorporated within the overall plan for that area. I'll be raising questions and other committee members will be raising questions later on flooding so I won't particularly raise it now, but some critics have said that if you are building in a flood plain perhaps there should be more cost involved, not least to make sure that houses are a much higher standard in terms of avoiding flooding, but I will keep my tinder die for future questions. Thank you. To follow up on a couple of points you made there, can you put a figure on the number of EU nationals you have working within SEPA? As far as our record show, we've got about our staff numbers are 1,240 roughly and according to records we've got around 40 EU nationals. Not everyone's required to provide information to us about their nationality so that's just what we've got on record at the moment. Okay, can I also get an answer to a general question? The environmental regulations that we work to that you enforce in Scotland, how would they compare to the rest of the UK? Are they of a higher standard or lower standard, roughly equivalent? I think very similar but there are differences and I guess one of the differences will be that implementation under the regulatory format and so we regulate under a whole different range of permitting regimes, cutting cross, water, waste, air, radioactive substances and we bring that together into a much more simpler joined up approach. UK Government's done something similar but we're taking that a bit further in terms of what the ambition is there. Okay, thank you then. That's useful. Moving on to look at regulation, Angus MacDonald. Okay, thanks, convener. We saw news reports at the weekend highlighting an increase in non-compliance figures and breaches in pollution limits, which has certainly raised some concerns in my constituency, which includes Grangemouth. How do you propose to increase flexibility to deploy resources and to operate at a lower cost whilst delivering excellent environmental regulation, as you have stated in your report? Adding to that, it would be useful to get an explanation of why there has been an increase in referos to the PF statutory notices and final warning letters. Is that because there's a growing problem or because you're just getting better at catching people? We'll take those two things partly together as well. On compliance, what I would stress is that the overall figures showed improvements in compliance rates within Scotland but clearly issues remain within that. We've just published our results, as you mentioned. We see a total compliance figure rising to 90 per cent, which is an improvement on last year and it exceeds the target that we set. We apply a risk-based approach to identifying the inspection frequency, which is how we identify compliance. That embodies the principles of better environmental regulation. We focus more on higher risk and non-compliance sites. We acknowledge that there are still difficult problems to resolve out there but we have new tools. You mentioned yourself earlier that we have new enforcement tools and we're also proposing to use our compliance assessment scheme to modify our charges going forward. That is all designed to deliver behaviour change in the operators that we are dealing with. We are also identifying sector plans as a mechanism to drive behaviour change through business to improve compliance as well. All of that is aimed at targeting our resource most efficiently and effectively at improving the compliance of the businesses that we regulate for the obvious reasons, I guess. The key here is about proportionate enforcement of conditions using the tools that we have. We did see an increase between 2015 and 2013 of those that were ranked as excellence. That was raising from 72 per cent to 78 per cent, so that's a good improvement. We have seen an increase in those who have been non-compliant over two years. That's an area that we've been focusing on and it's an area that we will continue to focus on using the new tools that we have available to us. There is always an element of movement between the figures. I think that the final message perhaps is that a ranking of non-compliant does not mean that there is immediate imminent harm to the environment. It may be something that is more of a management-related, a management control which could ultimately result in an impact but hasn't at the point that the compliance assessment score has been identified and we work with those who hold licences to improve their performance by helping them identify solutions where we have to enforce, we clearly enforce, using the tools that we have available. Your second question there was about our we will shortly be releasing our enforcement report for the year 2015. I'm trying to recall your question, convener, but I think that we have an enforcement policy which we apply to all relevant infractions that we identify. I think that we always improve our performance in identifying breaches but they are the tools that we use when we have to use them. The benefit of what we have through the regulatory reform act is that we now have better, more effective tools to bridge the gap between some of those sanctions that you mentioned. Moving forward, we will have variable monetary penalties available to us. We will have fixed penalties that we have run a campaign already using and we have the ability to accept enforcement undertakings, which allows those who are non-compliant to take back an element of control. It's just that there has been a marked increase in all, under all three headaches. I'm just trying to get to the root to be absolutely clear as to what's behind that for the record. So we have been targeting our efforts towards those who are non-compliant, which is why it is so disappointing to see the two-year non-compliant figure rising this year. Just to add to that, we'll be able to give more up-to-date enforcement figures to the committee because I'd say we've just got a report going through at the moment in terms of our level of enforcement action. Just to add to what Lynn said, we published a really clear regulatory strategy back in August and it was very clear in that strategy that we expect compliance as a minimum in Scotland from everyone. Publishing these enforcement figures paces a spotlight on that and that's absolutely appropriate. We talked in our written submission about regulatory strategy 1 planet prosperity and given the challenges facing the environment facing Scotland and to last sustainable growth, compliance is the minimum. We need to actually be encouraging businesses to go further as well and one of the key things that we are implementing building our skills in is being clear about having a lot more senior level engagement and interaction with companies to really try and push and change behaviour. During the passage of the regulatory reform bill, I remember exploring the issue where you may have a firm that has a multitude of sites, minor misdemeanors in all of them, so they get a slap wrist on each of them and that's as far as it goes and there was no cumulative view taken about the culture within the organisation. Is that something you're starting to get on top of? Yes, and this is exactly what it's talking about. We want to achieve behaviour change and that's really what regulation is all about, the new regulatory tools, enforcement tools under the act. There was a real issue for us in that you could refer cases procurator fiscal but they had to be a level of seriousness to be taken by the courts and it left us with a real gap and so things like fixed monetary penalties, variable monetary penalties and enforcement undertakings that are voluntary undertakings carried out. It all helps to take action earlier so that you can intervene to help to change behaviour before it starts to become entrenched as well so the new tools will help with that. Angus MacDonald wants to come back in. Okay, thanks. We certainly look forward to seeing the enforcement report when it's released and if you could share that with the committee when it's released that would be helpful. Sticking with regulation and deploying resources efficiently and effectively, you mentioned in your report that you've significantly reduced the number and size of buildings from which you operate. I'd be keen to know how flexible CEPA is on that because I ask because there are calls in my constituency for a dedicated CEPA officer and officer in Grangemouth following the pollution breaches last year and continual non-compliance although I take on board the point that there is more compliance than non-compliance but would you be willing to continually review your position regarding the siting of your offices and will you look at further opportunities to share buildings with other public bodies as you have done in Grangemouth in the past? Yes, and you'll have seen we've increased the number of offices where we have shared office accommodation across Scotland without impacting on our footprint, which is really important for us in terms of our work. We're open to looking at opportunities. I want to take this off in the direction of a particular sector of micro-school. Yes, thanks, convener. I mean notwithstanding the overall picture which looks positive in terms of businesses complying, sticking with the law as we would hope they would, there are a number of sectors that are problematic. Angus MacDonald has mentioned Grangemouth already, but the aquaculture sector is a particular one where we're seeing a decline in compliance. It's not going up, it's going in reverse, so we've gone within the last year from 86 per cent compliance down to 82 per cent. Do you not find it problematic that CEPA is becoming increasingly reliant on industry data in order to enforce and regulate this sector? You're effectively asking the aquaculture sector to police itself. I think with agriculture, a couple of general points before going on to that, that specific one. With the aquaculture sector, we've had some real success in working with the whisky sector on a sexual basis, and this is a sector that basically came together and said, well, there are some non-competitive issues which we're going to all collaborate on, which are around the environment that are going to help us to grow sustainably in Scotland, and we've worked really actively with them. It's exactly the same way that we want to work with the aquaculture sector in Scotland. We recognise the government, the sector, want to grow, and our job is to work with them on a sexual basis to help them grow in the right way. That's what we want to do on data and monitoring. We are never entirely reliant on data provided by others to take a view on compliance, rather than with the sector. My understanding is that the tools that you've got, the modelling tools that you apply in particular to the aquaculture sector, when, for example, you're making a decision about whether to issue a licence or not, are pretty much populated by data that's come from the industry. If you're saying to us that you've cut your laboratories from eight to two, who's gathering the data? Who's gathering the data about problems such as algal blooms in our seeds? Who's gathering the data about individual fish farms that are problematic, for example, for the west coast of Arran? Where is this data coming from and how do you ensure that data is actually robust if the independent regulator isn't or doesn't have the resources to check up on that? That's a very important point on data. All our decisions are driven by data and we need the best data that's available to drive those decisions, regardless of what we're looking at. Over the past few years, we've been doing joint services with SNH, Marine Scotland and others, and on the aquaculture side of things, we've been doing things with Marine Scotland to share surveys, to share vessels, to share data and modelling as well. We're using the best available data. It might not always be data that we ourselves have gathered, but it's data that's following the risk-based approach to regulation that's required. If we are having data provided to us, we will have sense checks on that data. If it's telling us something that there's a problem with the data, we'll be examining that and looking to provide better data because our decisions are driven by that. If you have poor data and poor quality input, you're not going to be able to make good quality decisions. Data is absolutely important for us and we need to make sure that we're always driving the best quality data, providing that into our systems, regardless of where it comes from. If the compliance level has gone down in that sector, would that trigger you to take a more proactive approach to looking at aquaculture? Is that happening now? Yes, and it will increasingly continue because we'll adopt more of a sexual approach. Could you outline for us what form that would take? This is working with the industry as a whole to look at how it wants to grow. What are the constraints and opportunities around that? For instance, if the industry wants to grow, then we can help Scotland to think about where the areas that it could grow in environmental terms, location-wise, where there would be fewer issues. It's working with the sector at that level in terms of growth. A drop in compliance suggests that there may be a decline in culture towards compliance in the sector. Would you accept that? In which case, how do you react to that? Well, our chief executive has been having some fairly senior-level engagement with the industry that will continue. Again, it's about that partnership that we can set up with the industry, so we've got shared aims about what we're trying to achieve around sustainable growth. Just to follow on from that. To what extent do you feel able to steer the research agenda here? Data, robust data, is important whether we're dealing with an individual site, an individual operation or perhaps more wider pressures on the marine environment, which aquaculture may indeed be contributing to. When it comes to research budgets for aquaculture, 50 per cent understand is provided by Scottish Government. We have a clear objective to double the size of the industry. 50 per cent is provided from the aquaculture industry itself. So, where does SEPA fit in? You're the independent regulator, you're the one speaking up for the environment. What about your ability to influence that research agenda? We're actually looking at the right things. We'll come back to you on that specific point in terms of how we influence the research agenda in aquaculture. Do you have your own budget for research on aquaculture and the potential impacts of aquaculture? Not directly, but we do try to target our research where it can bring the biggest benefits for SEPA. We do fund a number of PhDs with SNH to look at various issues around the country. I don't know what the current list of research topics are with those PhD students, but we do have other avenues for influencing research into the different funding streams. So, if there's an issue for SEPA around that, we will be taking that forward. For example, a modelling round about aquaculture installations. We've improved greatly on that over the past few years because we've got better data on the seabed, we've got better bathymetry data, we've got better tidal data, and our modelling unit can start to pull those things together. So, there's on-going research within SEPA, within our own teams, to drive the development of the models to support the decision making. I'm sure that we are engaged more widely, but we can get back to you on that. Don't have your own independent research budget, you're aligned increasingly on data coming from an industry that is not complying? No, we can tap into other research budgets that are available around Scotland and in the UK, and European research budgets as well, if appropriate, and if we're successful with the bids for that particular type of research, then we can fund that research, but we have to bid for research funding through existing plots. It could be very useful if you could write to us in as much detail as possible. Dave Sheart wants to come in. The Brexit theme, whilst it's encouraging you to do sort of the funding of PhDs, Sam's from Oban, part of UHI, has submitted a paper that I've had access to, which is very worried about the future of academic funding, particularly with the uncertainty in Brexit, such as the horizon 2020 funding. A lot of academic funding, as you know, comes via Europe, so it's another uncertainty that will, presumably, affect you as well in terms of future funding of PhDs. It may have a broader effect, but not directly with the funding of those PhDs, as far as I understand it, because they have been funded through SEPA and SNH funding to target work that's of particular interest to us, but as I say, we also have the majority of our funding for research coming from local, Scottish and UK funds. So none of the European funding that you get funds PhDs? I don't think that it does at the moment. Could you maybe drop us a note to that just so we're totally clear? Okay, let's have a look at agriculture, Emma Harper. Thank you, convener. Talking about research for aquaculture, is it similar with the agriculture then? Are you applying for research funding from external sources, or is there any agricultural research, like within SEPA? We have a soils and land team within SEPA who are driving forward their own understanding of the impacts of activity on the soils and on the land environment, and they are linked similarly to other research pots beyond SEPA that they can tap into for that. So any theme that has an agenda that's relevant to SEPA we can take forward through seeking funding from various research pots. I think that the paper that we'll send back to the convener will clarify how we tap into those different funding streams from different parts of SEPA's business. We are working with other committees, like the Rural Committee, to look at budget as well. I'm wondering about working with the agricultural industry. Do you propose increase or decrease in the budget because it's really difficult to get baseline information on agricultural emissions? I'm wondering how that will impact your future spend. Well, I think there's two things. A lot of our regulatory work is funded by a charging scheme, and we implemented a new charging scheme earlier on this year, which brought together five different charging schemes into one, which is more reflective, of course, of regulating different sectors. That's the general point. On agriculture, we've worked closely with them over a number of years, particularly in tackling diffuse pollution, and we've worked very collaboratively around that with some success, and so we just seek to continue to work on a sectoral basis, increasingly, with the agricultural sector in Scotland. There's probably not a harder sector to please than the agricultural sector, and yet, over the past year or two years, we've started to hear more positive vibes from them about their engagement with SIPA. Is that because you've finally cracked it, or are you being too gentle with them? As a regulator, you can go one way or the other. What we often say to sectors or companies that you regulate is that you can choose the type of regulator you get. Sectors who are willing to work with us to improve compliance will get one type of regulator. That's the relationship that we've really established with NFUS over the last few years, and they have very actively supported the campaigns around tackling diffuse pollution, which has been hugely welcomed. It's been a good example of partnership working that you might want to see with other sectors. On that note, there are other portfolios out there that might be pursuing priorities or spending that exacerbate environmental challenges, such as road building or infrastructure. How does that impact SIPA's budget? I guess for us, our statutory purpose is broad, protecting and improving the environment in a way that also helps to improve health and wellbeing and helps to support sustainable economic growth. That can cut across a whole range of portfolios. We don't see other portfolios' economic growth as impacting on the environment. It's a win-win scenario as always possible. Increasingly, what we do is work in partnership with a lot of bodies that would fall under other portfolios in government as well. We've got several examples of that. One would be on air quality and the work that we're doing is transport Scotland with local authorities on air quality. If you want to save a few words on that, Lynn. Back in 2012, we identified some challenges. We're now working very closely with Transport Scotland and a number of other partners in that area to look to improve the air quality, particularly in urban areas around about Scotland. However, there are some other good examples of partnership working as well. If I come back to the NFUS question from earlier on, one of the areas where we've worked really closely with them recently has been around about plastics that have been appearing in materials going through AD plants and working in that area. Recognising the problem, identifying a solution, working upstream is the kind of tactic that we take to resolve a problem at an earlier point in the chain, if you like. In relation to the bigger infrastructure projects, we've obviously been involved over the years with the likes of Buley Denny, the power line that was put in with the building of a big hydropower scheme, the likes of Langdol, which hadn't happened for a number of decades, the Waverly line being constructed down into the borders. We've evolved our approach and are very clear about early intervention, partnership working up front, identifying internally that single point of contact that brings together the key impacts to making sure that we obtain multiple benefits from the projects that are going forward and that are clearly big infrastructure projects. We've also, through the Regulatory Reform Act, introduced recently the ability to identify a large project charge, which is welcomed by some of the major developers. Most of the activities that are undertaken are relatively small in individual terms. If you aggregate them together, it becomes a very large piece of engagement that we need to undertake. We've identified a mechanism by which we can raise income with the support of the project developers to cover the costs of the advice and the guidance that we provide. I think that that is seen as a very positive way forward, and it is something that we will continue to use with future infrastructure projects as well. Let's move on and look at the preventative spend issue. Last week, in terms of preventative spend, we spoke to SA&H about redirecting funding from other directories. As you have alluded to this morning, Joe Greene spoke about statutory purpose being broad as an organisation. With that in mind, I know that SA&H contributes to the Government's national outcomes in terms of resilience and working with communities and schools. Have SA&H then worked previously with Education Scotland specifically with regard to curriculum content? Obviously, you will know that closing the attainment gap is central to a lot of the Government's work at the moment. I wonder, therefore, if you have looked at that previously and if you are looking at that going forward? Yes, we are. Both on education and attainment, there are a few examples of that. We are doing some work on air quality, so we are learning about air tool. That was an air quality teaching package developed with North Ice Council, Scotland Environment, where we have been in consultation with Education Scotland. It is quite an innovative tool that has surfaced in the UK. It was specifically designed to support Scottish curriculum for excellence. We loan air quality monitoring equipment to schools to support that. It helps to change how people think about air quality in terms of parking around schools. That is just one example. We are increasingly conscious of the attainment gap and the agenda around inclusive growth. We see a direct link between that and our statutory purpose. The short-hand that we use around our statutory purpose is that we need to help to create environmental success and to create social and economic success. We are quite conscious of that. We recently made a number of social pledges as well as an organisation. One of them introduces a programme of targeted mentoring of up to 20 disadvantaged pupils per year in socially deprived areas. We are developing foundation apprenticeships as well to help aspiring pupils from schools in areas of high social deprivation. Our target area for the first year of that is North Lanarkshire. We are doing a number of initiatives in that area, even in terms of how we think about the flood risk that we prioritise in looking at communities that are working with them as well. In terms of flooding and flood risk in Scotland, we have been targeting schools for many years to increase the awareness of flood risk among school children within their areas, in particular the areas that are most vulnerable to flooding. In the past, that was driven by areas that had been flooded, so we would visit communities that might have been flooded. As part of that recovery, we would be going to the schools, educating them on how to stay safe, what the risks were, giving them plenty of children-focused material that they could take home and learn from it, and encouraging their parents to prepare a flood kit and to be ready for flooding. In recent years, we have been doing that in a more structured manner now that we know the areas that risk across Scotland. We have been working with Education Scotland and others to target those areas. We are also involved with community safety partnerships and the work that happens with the schools around the country, the Safe Highlanders initiative and the Safe Taysiders initiative, and through that, in 2016, we attended those and took part in those safe community partnerships. With 10,000 primary seven children came through the doors of that in 2016, so they were all getting that flood message. We also developed resources with Education Scotland—physical resources and online resources—and you might have seen our floodline kids site online. That allows them to take resources into their classrooms and build that into their curriculum. Like Jo said, in terms of citizen science, we also have rainfall observers projects for the children, so that we can have resources and get involved with gathering the data that we need for the future to inform our decision making. Can I just ask a follow-up question to that? This is quite specific. Do you evaluate the effectiveness of that intervention in schools? Do you go back and survey pupils, for example, or speak to the teachers following it to see if it has had an impact? One of the things that you spoke about was effecting behaviour change, so if you are going to go back and consider how that impact has been driven in the schools or has it changed pupils' behaviour in terms of flood dress, for example? That is something that we do generally with our floodline customers, but I am not aware if it is something that we do specifically with the schools, but I am sure that it is part of the Education Scotland initiative. There must be some feedback on that so that I can check and come back to the school. In terms of behavioural change, I am wondering whether you are in any way able to monitor around air quality if there is any impact on parents' behavioural change. I am thinking about if you put air quality monitor equipment outside schools, it might persuade parents not to drive their children to schools and create the congestion around the schools bad for the environment, etc. First of all, if you do any assessment around that, how do schools go about accessing that equipment? I am sure that a few of you would be very interested. On the first point, we will get back to the committee on that and how the effect of that is measured, because schools have been doing wider work on that as well. Your second point, sorry, was about all the uptake. Last year, the tool was fully booked out for periods of the school term, so there is a lot of demand around that. Enough to justify investment in more kit? Potentially, yes, but I guess it comes back to your point again, is how effective is that intervention being. If you get the stats to back that up, it would justify. It does pick up on Jenny Goldie's point about crossing over portfolios, as the health portfolio, as the environment portfolio, as the education portfolio. We have our statutory purpose. We have our two core services, flooding and environmental regulation. The way that we look at things is that we like to get involved in a small number of other things, where we can put a bit of resource or our time and expertise in to help to create significant change, particularly if other partners are getting involved and they also put resource in as well. We look at a number of these different interventions, one of which has been our support for the 2050 climate group, which is a group of young people in Scotland. That group, again, working with Young Scott in Scotland, is looking at getting young people together, giving them leadership skills, but also understanding and sustainability and climate change. So you are helping to create these leaders for the future, which is good for the long term. So we are doing a number of these different targeted interventions. Okay. Let's move on and just a general question regarding staffing. You told us earlier the number of staff that you currently employ. Could you advise how that has changed over the years and what perhaps the changing roles of the staff have been, the changing emphasis on the deployment of staff? Yes, I mentioned that we have around 1,240 staff. I guess that for SEPA and the High Point for Oz, we have done about 2,089, where we had maybe 70 more staff than that. That is the levels that have come down since then. I guess that the changing roles have reflected the changing nature and the services that SEPA provides, certainly around expertise, on flood risk. For us for the future, I have talked about what we want to do, and our regulatory strategy is really clear on that. Yes, it is absolutely about targeting non-compliance, but it is also about supporting successful innovation in the future. So the number of areas where we need to build up our skills and organisations, that will just continue, and that changes the nature of some of the staff as well. One of the strengths of SEPA has been its local footprint. The local faces, the people who know the area, are you managing to preserve and protect that footprint whatever the budget challenges you face? The footprint is absolutely essential to us. I have said that our services to the public are flooding and environmental regulation. Those are locally delivered services, and so our footprints are incredibly important. We have talked about some of the changes that we are making to estates and sharing of offices, but that is not about impacting on our footprint. Could I raise the issue again around flooding? I met Joe Greene last week, and I think that I gave some notice about this question. I am very concerned about where there is planned development on floodplains, where SEPA has said that there should be no development, presumably your statutory consultancy for local authorities, but that either the planning authority or an appeal has rejected your advice. I have not got the figures in my head, but I have picked up around 20 plus for the number of times that has happened. To be honest, that is a completely mad set of priorities, not for SEPA, but for local authorities and for the Scottish Government. What they then find is that developments get built, developments then get flooded. Householders face chaos and personal tragedy because of that, and something that could be avoided. Do you know offhand how many times this has happened over the last four or five-year period? I can certainly speak about that, Mr Stewart. SEPA has a statutory consultancy in the land use planning system, and we see in excess of 2,500 applications a year where flood risk is a consideration that we have to take on. We have the evidence around our flood maps and the information that we gather about flooding when it happens, and from our hydrometric network or gaging stations. We know the issues around flooding, and Scottish planning policy is very clear in its framework about what should be permitted in terms of building and what should not be in terms of the flood plain and the risk that that particular part of the flood plain has. We should not be building hospitals and schools and critical infrastructure anywhere at all on the flood plain. Decisions for planning authorities. Housing should not be built anywhere at risk of the 0.5 per cent of flooding in any one year, or the 1 in 200 year flood plain. Below that nothing should be getting built at all. However, there are pressures around Scotland, especially in the city areas. There is also pressure around where brownfield sites are needing to be brought forward for development. There are also pressures where houses already exist on flood plain, and there are 108,000 properties that have identified at flood risk in Scotland. They are at flood risk at the moment, and we are reducing that by putting measures in place. However, unless we encourage retreat and actually take those properties out of the flood plain, they are going to be there and they need to be managed. So planning authorities have a number of decisions that they have to look at in terms of coming to a decision, and flood risk is only one of those. Sorry for cutting the question, but could you just flag some of that up? You are probably calling for me to give evidence from the Chair of the Climate Change Committee that one of the risks for Scotland was that 90 per cent of houses that are at flood risk do not have a flood prevention strategy from local authority, which is really extremely worrying. Well, I think that that shows the size of the issue that we have in Scotland. There are 108,000 properties at risk. If the measures that go forward—big flood prevention measures that are there, flood protection measures that are there that go forward in the first cycle, that will be in the next six years, there will be 42 of those coming forward that will reduce the number of properties that are at risk by about 10,000, but it is a long game. We have a long way to go in terms of reducing. So just in the future again, so we do not lose this. 2,500 applications a year. How many occasions was your advice, as SIPA overturned, by either the local authority planning committee or an appeal to the Scottish Government? In 2015, we had 22 objections. So it was not far wrong, right? No, 22 per cent. That is less than 1 per cent that we objected to. Nine of those were approved against SIPA advice. It is only nine out of 2,500 of their abouts. And of those nine developments, you probably do not have those figures to hand, but how many houses are we talking about? We are talking about a low number of houses. These are individual households, really, or travelling people's sites, as we have been recently. So they are caravan parks and housing individual, or maybe one, two, three properties. So that was an island for a year. Could you perhaps drop us a line and identify how many houses are affected? Because clearly, if you are the person that is flooded, whether you are the only one in Scotland, the tragedy is there. What I am trying to get at is I would rather see the figure being zero. If you are the professional advisers, if you say there shall not be any building, because we think there will be a long-term problem with flooding, there shouldn't be any building. And whether it is the local councillors or whoever is in government overturning that, in my view, that is a mistake, because those problems will come home to roost in the longer term. Yes, that is the ideal. And it will become more of a challenge with climate change, because there is another 70,000 or thereabouts properties that we have identified that will become at risk by 2080 under the climate change scenarios that we are running with. So we could just be running to stand still, if you like, with it. So presumably, as the climate change chair said, climate change is with us now. So presumably areas that are not currently flood plains are at risk may well be flood plains, because it is the 5 per cent issue that you mentioned. That is a very interesting point. That is to be determined, because quite often the flood plain is defined and does not change, because flood plains are defined naturally by our geology and so on, so it is the width of the flood plain, and you can imagine that as the river valley, if you like. So when with climate change and increased flood peaks that we anticipate, you probably get a similar area flooded, maybe slightly bigger area, but it might be deeper and it might be faster flowing. So the risk might change. So finally, I know the convener once again. So my final point. Thanks for that figure. Could you give us the figures for each of the last four years on how many times your advice was ignored by either planning or by the Government? And in each case, how many houses were affected? Because that is absolutely crucial that we know the actual numbers, because we had some hint in these figures before, but that is a really interesting advice. I suppose the overall question is, do you have sufficient resources to deal with giving advice to planning authorities on risk of building on flood plains? Is there staffing issues here? It is tight for us. We have seen the number of these increasing, because pressure increases to building flood plains, especially within urban areas where redevelopment is required. And it's very difficult, because building on the flood plain or not building on the flood plain is the single biggest flood risk management tool in the toolbox. If you avoid putting people at risk of flooding, then that's… I agree. So you're right, Mr Stewart. Ideally, nothing gets built on flood plain. And that would be where we were aiming, but other things have to be taken away. Oh, that's very helpful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Just following up on that very important line of questioning from David Stewart, some of the committee has tried to explore before us. Does anyone keep a record of the consequences of where your advice has been overruled? Do you keep a record? Are there examples, perhaps, going back to 2012, 2010, where you've objected that it's gone ahead and there have been issues of risen? Do you keep an eye on those things? Yeah, that's something that doesn't come back to SEPA, because that information stays with the planning authorities, and that information would be very powerful if it was fed back to us. But it's very difficult to get a handle on that, because we are seeing things at the planning stage, and planning doesn't always go forward. And then things aren't often built as they were proposed, because it's like a change to that. So we don't know, and we don't have the resources, and it's not a remit, either, to go out on the ground and check what was actually put. Hi, David Stewart. What's come back? It just seems to me that there's a good link here from your previous comments about PhD work. This seems a really good piece of academic research that you might want to get some eager PhD student to go away and research all this. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, if we could just look in a little bit more detail at SEPA's changing role in relation to flooding, perhaps over the last couple of years, how has that changed? I mean, let's take an application, say, for a major housing development. In an area that is identified as risky in terms of flood. Where would SEPA's role kind of stop, and where would local authority flood officers teams actually come in to take on that work? And has that changed over the last two to three years? Well, with implementation of the Flood Risk Management Scotland Act, it's very clear that we need to take a risk-based approach to flood risk management. And in the first schedule of that act, section 1 says that all responsible authorities have to take flood risk into consideration in all their duties. So the planning authorities must take flood risk into consideration in all their duties. So that's been a very powerful thing for everyone in Scotland to ensure that at the earliest possible stage we're involved with understanding the flood risk for potential developments. And starting at the early door stage where we can get in and do pre-application discussions and even strategic flood risk assessments. SEPA, these two and a half thousand individual applications that come through, SEPA is also involved with looking with local authorities to work through their development plans to see how they have zoned land and how the zoning of land can be lined up with the flood risk to make sure that at that zoning stage that the councils and the local authorities and the other planning authorities are taking full recognition of the flood risk. So it's that early, early stage. Also, for big infrastructure projects like the A9 and the A96 rerouting, come to SEPA nice and early. We've been engaged with them on flood risk for the whole job rather than coming through at the planning stage for individual sections. So being able to work strategically from the outset with other organisations to plan things holistically to ensure that flood risk has been met is really powerful and the act allows us to do that. So I think we had a similar answer from SNH last week. There's been a bit of a retreat, if you like, in terms of analysing individual applications and much more work early on taking a strategic approach, getting local development plans right, getting housing zoned in the right places. What happens then when an application goes through to public inquiry or appeal and it needs a specialist independent regulator? Who picks up that work now? Well, it would be referred by SEPA objected to. It would be referred to the Scottish Government reporter who would have a look at that. At that stage, we might be asked to give, well, we will be asked to give, information on it and evidence and that would then be out of our hands, if you like, in terms of the decision. SEPA is a statutory consultee in the planning process so we need to make sure that we have laid out all the information, all the advice and all the guidance, the data to enable a good decision to be made on that. And that is our role to make sure that we're feeding that process. Do you not see that local authorities are maybe picking up more of this work now through their flood teams? The local authorities, yeah, they have their flood teams but they also have their planning teams and it's how they work together and how closely they work together within the local authorities is very important to make sure that both those teams within the local authority have got visibility and that they're coming to other organisations like SEPA through the process as one. Right, so I'm just trying to be clear here. What you're saying is that SEPA will take a planning application in terms of its advice right the way through to decision. You'll be involved in appeals, you'll be involved in public inquiries. You'll be the lead agency, is that what you're saying? No, we're not the authority. The lead agency for providing that input and advice on flood risk management, we're not the decision makers and we're not the planning authority but we need to make sure that our advice is presented and that our opinion is being listened to. Right, okay, okay. Thank you, Maurice Golden. I was just following on within the flooding section how much SEPA spends on nature-based solutions and what more you should be doing in this area. I don't have the figure for that directly, Mr Golden, but we do get involved through partnership working with initiatives that are happening out there to try and understand how natural flood management can be incorporated within our flood risk management actions. We've identified areas in the flood risk management strategies that we've put together. We've identified areas around Scotland where there is potential for that. We're working with other organisations who are taking forward initiatives like the Tweed Forum and the project that's going forward in the Edelston Water where there's 17 farms there and I think now that they're signed up to that to try and understand through an improved monitoring process how what impact natural flood management can have on reducing flood peaks for areas that risk downstream. We have produced a very comprehensive early this year. We produced a very comprehensive natural flood management handbook which is available to everyone. It's online and it can be accessed by landowners or by funders or by Government to decide the best techniques and processes and perhaps suggest ways of accessing funding as well to take forward natural flood management actions. So we have one member of staff who's full time on natural flood management. We have others who spend a little bit of time on that, one within the flooding team. But we also can access expertise through other parts of SEPA through our ecology team and through our hydro geomorphologists. Thanks. Can I ask then that there is a move here to develop the land use strategy and localise it across Scotland to deliver a regional or local plan? Would you say a role for SEPA participating in the development of those plans from the areas of interest that you have? We must have an interest. So we can maybe come back to the committee on that. Clearly we do a lot of work at local level. But we can come back to the committee specifically on the land use strategy. Okay, thank you. Kate Forbes. I just lastly going back to funding move. What processes do you employ to ensure such a small underspend annually? Yes. Well for us clearly we don't want to work at an overspend. And so it's just a process of actually managing our budgets within that one year cycle. Clearly some of the projects on the work that we do it spreads over several years. But we're obviously in a public sector going on that one year cycle. So it's just a case of actively managing it. And if a piece of work are not coming forward we might look at reprioritisation during the year and we work quite closely with our sponsor team in government on that as well. Moris Gould. Yeah, just a following up on that. Obviously your underspend's very impressive so I'm keen to tease out if there's anything particularly that you're doing that some of the other agencies aren't. And I mean it could be for example you do have high numbers of staff with respect to high numbers versus budget versus some of the other agencies. I'll be interested to learn from you if that reflects your function or an approach or a difference in approach versus other agencies, e.g. do you have a tendency to deliver in-house rather than contracting out? And also it'd be interesting to know how much you have fixed costs versus variable costs. So is that the reason around underspend? Or are there some other aspects, for example an internal audit function that you're conducting that perhaps isn't seen by others or you may have other aspects, your approach to risk management? I'm just keen to tease some of those issues out. I think you're right in that different agencies are different and so it can make it trickier in terms of underspend. I think we see that it's roughly about 65% of our income is staff or staff costs. That's quite high. About 22% is on supplies and services, things like replacement equipment and my contract with the Met Office, stack monitoring. So we have some of these, but some of these contracts are quite long-standing as well. And so it'll partly be, I would love to say, we're doing everything right and others could learn from us, but it will be partly about the nature of our business as well. In terms of risk management, it's about the same, it's about 60-40, 60 on staff and 40% on non-staff. I would say that I think that in my view SEPA is successful because we've spread across so many different activities and some of those activities can be flexible and some are more fixed if we're meeting statutory deadlines. For example, for producing flood maps or something, we're absolutely locked into that in any one year, but we have to plan for about six years to deliver those so all in a six-year cycle. So it's difficult planning across the years, so we use the flexibility within the rest of the organisation to move money within the organisation to meet targets that benefits the whole organisation. And sometimes there's a little bit of flexibility that can take us beyond the end of the financial year, so by bringing some of our expenses forward and then pushing some of our expenses into the following year, so there's a bit of flexibility there with our own deadlines but we're absolutely fixed on our statutory deadlines. So with this underspend that's great to see, have your staff working in advance on the previous year's financial budget, so are you planning ahead, even though you don't know what the budget is, to enable you the flexibility to get so close to the mark on a yearly basis, is that the way you managed to work it so successfully? Yeah, well in terms of flood risk management we have to think well ahead, we're thinking about six years ahead and because some of the things we've been taking forward in this first cycle have been the first time that Scotland's ever done it, we've had to, we've been real estimates because we had no idea well we did have an idea, we estimated what the costs might be and how many staff we would need and there is rigorous processes that it's possible when you're doing something the first time, but you do find that there is, that you need some latitude within that to be able to deliver things and to think ahead. The Scottish Government we've worked very closely with our colleagues in the Scottish Government so whilst we only get a one-year settlement for our flood risk management at the moment for our flood risk management funding, we've never failed to get that, so they tell us to plan on what we've planned on last year and we work on that. Fyngnogu. Fyngnogu. I'll just add briefly to that, we're just about to launch into an next corporate plan which will set a high level direction for several years but we produce an annual operating plan as well and we work again closely with Government in developing those annual operating plans and more recently we've set up two new committees so there's an agency management team that leads the agency, we've set up a committee on flooding and a committee on regulation, the agency management team level. Just again to bring additional focus, those two services and allow decisions to be taken well within the year as well. I think we've covered all the areas we were looking to cover. Can I thank the witnesses very much for your attendance this morning? That's been a very useful session and its next meeting on 22 November, the committee will consider the draft Crown Estate Scotland interim management order. As agreed earlier, we'll now move into private session and I asked that the public gallery be cleared as the public part of the meeting is now closed. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzZmFEqjHkQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It was not how to not die, but rather how not to die, as in prematurely in pain after a long chronic disabling illness. The good news I shared is that we have tremendous power over our health destiny, and that the vast majority of premature death and disability is preventable with a healthy enough diet and lifestyle. How not to age has a similar premise. It's not about immortality, but rather how to age with grace and vigor, rather than suffer from the ravages of infirmity and decrepitude. But why can't we stop aging and live forever? From the epoch of Gilgamesh, over 4,000 years ago, to the recent quintentennial of Ponce de Lyon's pursuit for the fountain of youth, humankind has yearned for the mythical elixir of life that would remedy the scourges of aging. And why not? It's not like aging is some immutable constant in nature. Evolutionists produce lifespans in animals that are very 5,000 full from those only living a few days to clams clocking in at over 500 years. Just like the Wright brothers may have taken inspiration from birds, we can take inspiration from animals who age slower if at all. Why can't we live forever? Some animals do, and I'm not talking about a 200-year-old whale or even a 1,000-year-old tree. I'm talking about immortal. They're actually species with names like the immortal jellyfish who apparently don't age and could technically go on forever. And why not? In a sense, humans are immortal and that a few of our cells live on. Spur and reg cells, lucky enough to find each other. Each of our kids grow out of one of our cells, and that alone. I mean, the fact that a single cell can grow into a person should make, in comparison, the notion of keeping our bodies going indefinitely seem biologically trivial. One little fertilized microscopic blob turning into perhaps the most complex object in the known universe, the human brain, with its 86 billion neurons spanning 100,000 miles within your head, like four times around the equator, making 150 trillion connections, all emerging out of a microscopic speck of a blob. If that's possible in biology, then what isn't? Still, there is much skepticism in the scientific community where many believe aging is an irreversible process. Anti-aging is compared to being anti-gravity. Vocal critics in the gerontology community have accused those suggesting the possibility of greatly extended the human lifespan as being contemptible for duping the public, suggesting anything past age 130 is ridiculous. Such doubts are reliably countered by proponents who quote preeminent scientists of your making similarly absolutist claims that didn't age well. Nobel Prize-winning physicist spoke of the prospect of nuclear power as talking moonshine, completely unscientific utopian dream, a childish bugaboo. Lord Kelvin considered one of the greatest scientists of his time notoriously asserted, heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible, evidently doubling down on their impracticality in 1902, just a year before the first flight at Kitty Hawk. Already in the lab, genetic mutation can affect a 10-fold increase in lifespan, at least in a species of tiny worm. In mice, dietary and genetic manipulation yields more like a 70% increase. Single tweaks like methionine restriction, which is part of my anti-aging, eight tips can extend the average and maximum lifespan of rats by about 40%, which could translate to boosting human lifespan to an average of around 110, with a rare centenarian hitting 140. These results have yet to be replicated in people, but if we discovered intervention to not only slow aging, but actively repair the accumulated damage, the sky could be the limit. Starry-eyed scientists in the field imagine time could be effectively melted away, like that surrealist painting of drooping clocks, a rejuvenation of your body leading ultimately to an endless summer of literally perpetual youth. A longevity escape velocity is envisaged, in which we would just have to live long enough for innovations to add more time than is passing. The tipping point at which each year we can add at least one extra year of life expectancy. This could theoretically enable humanity to have essentially unlimited lifespans. I remain agnostic as to whether such a breakthrough is possible, but I do hope my new book will help regardless whether you're striving to live long enough to live forever or just trying to die young as old as possible.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRQ_Dhi4n8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCMfSH3HULOeoeEbxHkqF21A	Portfolio Questions - 9 September 2021	Published by the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body. www.parliament.scot // We do not facilitate discussions on our YouTube page but encourage you to share and comment on our videos on your own channels. // If you would like to join in our conversations please follow @ScotParl on Twitter or like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/scottishparliament	[ "Holyrood", "Scottish-Parliament", "Scottish", "MSPs", "MSP", "Edinburgh", "politics", "Parliament", "debate" ]	2021-09-09T15:25:16	2024-02-05T08:38:02	2,668	vZJ02OD0caI	I'm glad that we have time to listen to the question. Good afternoon, colleagues. Can I remind members that social distancing measures are in place in the chamber and across the Holyrood campus? I ask that members take care to observe those measures, including when entering and exiting the chamber. Please only use the aisles and walkways to access your seat and when moving around the chamber. The next item of business is portfolio questions, the first session being on social justice, housing and local government. I remind members that Questions 5 and 7 are grouped together and that I will take any supplementaries on those questions after both of them have been answered. I would also say that if a member wishes to request a supplementary question, they should press the request of speak button or indicate in the chat function by entering the letter R during the relevant question. Finally, in order to get as many members in as possible, I ask again for short and succinct questions and short and succinct answers. To ask the Scottish Government when what action is taking to support the growth of social enterprises and other not-for-profit community enterprises. The Scottish Government's social enterprise strategy was launched in 2016 and sets out a wide-ranging ambitious and long-term programme to develop the potential of Scotland's social enterprise sector. The latest social enterprise action plan was published on 24 March this year and covers the period 2021-24. In conversations with community groups, it is highlighted that many of the available funding packages are project-based rather than tenured for expanding or building on existing initiatives. I wonder if the cabinet secretary could comment on perhaps his thoughts that they are not deemed sufficiently innovative, for example, if they want to expand for one of the funding streams or not being eligible for others because the project was not new. I can write to the member with more details. First of all, we will deliver Scotland's national social enterprise start-up incubator on behalf of the Scottish Government via the Social Entrepreneurs Fund, which also helps to not just start social enterprises but also to develop and grow their ideas. There is more information available on the website. We are looking to continue to fund social enterprises to make sure that they can continue to deliver. Beyond obviously the funding package that was delivered during the Covid period, we are continuing to fund social enterprises. There is an additional £1.5 million to build on the successful programme of support offered through Adapt and Thrive, which helps community organisations to want to diversify their income. I am happy to write to the member with a bit more detail, particularly on his point about growing social enterprises. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on progress of its joint action plan with COSLA and improving the lives of Scotland's Gypsy travellers 2019 to 2021. We welcome Ms Whitham's interest in the area, which I know she has from her days, as COSLA's community spokesperson. She was also an active member of the Scottish Government's Gypsy Traveller Ministerial Working Group. Due to the pandemic, the Gypsy Traveller Action Plan was extended until October 2022, providing us with more time to deliver on the remaining actions and to build on the excellent work that is already undertaken. In some areas, Covid-19 and the pandemic crisis have already allowed us to make unexpected progress. Areas such as remote and distance learning and digital access have improved, as well as our work to improve sites and accommodation. We will continue to work closely with the community, COSLA and partners to ensure that we meet our objectives and improve outcomes for our Gypsy Traveller communities. I thank the minister for that answer, as well as seeing their traditional lifestyle eroded by nor Gypsy Traveller communities often experiencing extreme and persistent stereotyping and hostility as they go about their lives. I know that the minister will agree that it is hugely important that we challenge such negative attitudes and ask what progress has been made to tackle racism and discrimination, which is the central part of the action plan. The member is right, and we are working hard to address racism, prejudice and discrimination against the community. For example, some of the practical steps that we have taken include the development by NHS Fife and NHS 24 of an e-learning module to be promoted to tackle the stigma and discrimination that Gypsy Travellers experience when using NHS services. The uptake of the module has been high, and it has also involved developing learning and development resources for Social Security Scotland staff to support the needs of Gypsy Travellers when they access front-line services. As the member will know, COSLA will work with councillors across the country to raise awareness of the issues that Gypsy Travellers face and how to ensure that they feel involved in their local communities. To ask the Scottish Government how much the Scottish Government is forecast to invest in social security support in the next five years. As set out in this year's budget, we are committing £3.5 billion to social security payments that will reach over 800,000 people, money that will go directly to the people in Scotland who need it most. The latest Scottish Fiscal Commission's forecast, which was published in August 2021, estimates that annual social security spending will rise to £5.2 billion in 26-27, totaling £23 billion over the next five years. The Scottish Government views social security as an investment in the people of Scotland and is a fundamental human right, and we are committed to making sure that everyone can access the financial support that they are entitled to. I welcome the introduction of the new benefits, such as the Scottish child payment, which has helped over 2,000 families that need it the most in South Asia alone since February. This morning, I received an email from my daughter's school, advising parents of food shortages and that the local school was unable to provide the school lunches on the menu. We are living in the aftermath of a reckless Tory Brexit that was forced through a global pandemic. With food prices rising, energy prices rising— Ryzing and empty shelves, does the minister share my deep concerns and agree that it is imperative that the people of Scotland get the opportunity to choose to determine their own future and rectify those injustices? First of all, with the powers that we have, the Scottish Government has taken unprecedented action to tackle child poverty, investing nearly £1 billion in 2021 to support families with children. That includes, of course, our game-changing Scottish child payment, which we will double to £20 in the lifetime of this Parliament. Together with best art grant and best art foods, that will provide over £5,300 of financial support for families by the time their first child turns six. I completely agree with the member that our anti-poverty efforts are seriously undermined by UK Government decisions and their unjustified assault on social security in too many cases. I will take this opportunity to call on UK ministers again to do the right thing and reverse their planned £20 cut to universal credit and avoid pushing a further 20,000 children in Scotland into poverty. The pandemic has demonstrated the negative impact of coping with bereavement with families limited to how many people can attend funerals and people not being able to say a proper goodbye to their loved ones in care homes and hospitals. That has especially impacted those who provide care for a loved one. When did the Scottish Government therefore plan to bring forward the extension of carers allowance for six months after bereavement? As Mr Briggs will know, the delivery of devolved social security in Scotland has taken place over the past three years. One of the first measures that we took, which was stipulated in the 2018 act, was the delivery of the carers allowance supplement and we intend to give an additional supplement again this year, like we did last year. We are, as I laid out to the committee last week, undergoing the process of appropriate stakeholder engagement and consultation on how we bring forward Scottish carers assistance. We are looking at a range of different measures around eligibility and the experience of carers to make sure that we work together, collectively with other parties and as a Parliament as a whole, to make sure that Scottish carers assistance helps those unpaid carers that we all value and appreciate and want to deliver enhanced benefit for in due course. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its commitment to supporting the building of affordable homes for rent. The Scottish Government is proud of our record on delivering more than 102,000 affordable homes, nearly 71,000 of which were for social rent, including more than 16,000 council homes since 2007. As the programme for government makes clear, we are committed to delivering 110,000 affordable homes by 2032, of which 70 per cent will be available for social rent and 10 per cent will be in our remote rural and island communities. Delivering this ambitious affordable homes target would support a total investment package of around £18 billion and up to 15,000 jobs each year. In the four years to 2020, we delivered over 75 per cent more affordable homes per head of population than in England and Wales and over nine times more social rented properties per head of population than in England. Back in April 2020, the Auditor General told the Government that it must, in my quote, evaluate the impact of the current programme on housing needs and the economic impact of the investment in affordable housing. In its 2021 action plan, Shelter Scotland says that the government's programme must be about more than simply the number of housing units completed. It must be about the social impact, about moving Scotland's communities in the right direction and it must first and foremost be about reducing social housing need. Will the cabinet secretary today give a commitment to place before this Parliament on an annual basis a housing and social justice report to include whether housing need has gone up or down, the economic and social impact of the building programme, the state of housing need and access amongst groups all to often marginalised, as well as measures of wider community benefit and wellbeing? The member will hopefully be aware that housing to 2040 talked about many of these issues and that housing is not just about bricks and mortar, it is about a core anti-poverty measure. I very much understand that. I was asked something along the lines of this when I attended the local government committee this week and I said that I would reflect on whether, in addition to the myriad of information that is provided on progress towards the affordable housing target, there are lots of statistics, lots of data, lots of reporting, whether or not additional reports would be of benefit to that. I said that I would go away and reflect on that, but I do not think that anyone can say that an ambitious target of 110,000 affordable homes and a total investment package of £18 billion and the creation of 15,000 jobs each year is anything other than to be welcomed. Question 5, Liz Smith. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the rural housing fund. Between 2016-17 and 2019-20, the Scottish Government invested over £400 million pounds through the affordable housing supply programme, including the rural and islands housing funds in rural and island communities and delivered more than 4,800 affordable homes in that time. The rural and islands housing funds have been described in the Scottish Land Commission report as game changers for community-led housing development. We have committed to delivering 110,000 affordable homes by 2032, of which 10 per cent will be in our remote rural and island communities backed by at least £45 million. Liz Smith. I thank the cabinet secretary for that response. However, she is well aware that less than half of the £25 million fund set aside for rural housing has been spent, despite some of the chronic shortages of affordable housing in many parts of the countryside, and that there has been much faster progress for house building in the central belt rather than in rural areas. Could the cabinet secretary explain why that is the case and what is being done to rectify the situation? As I said in my initial answer, good progress has been made in delivering rural housing, and I talked about the 4,800 affordable homes in that time. However, Liz Smith will be aware of some of the particular challenges in remote and rural Scotland, land availability, community capacity to bring forward the proposals and making sure that they can get to the pre-development to development stage. Those are quite complex matters, but that is why, however, in recognition that we needed to do more, we have committed to develop a rural and remote housing plan dedicated to the needs of rural and remote Scotland. That consultation will talk to communities the length and breadth of Scotland to make sure that we can get it right in every community, even where it is small-scale developments. Of course, that is backed up by the additional resources that we have made available. To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to tackle the reported shortage of housing in rural areas. As I said earlier, this Government has significantly invested in affordable housing and delivered 4,800 homes between 2016-17 and 2019-20 as part of the £3.4 billion affordable housing supply programme. As well as the 10 per cent target of the 110,000 homes, we are committed to developing a remote rural and islands action plan Councils are also being given significant additional powers to manage some of the particular challenges in communities such as short-term lets. We will be laying legislation for licensing scheme in November and, of course, we are giving local authorities powers to deal with second homes when they see that this is a problem in their area. Given that the population of rural areas has grown and now accounts for 17 per cent of Scotland's population, does the cabinet secretary think that the 10 per cent that she referred to of the target of 110,000 is frankly going to be adequate? That is simply about 1,000 properties a year and we have big challenges when it comes to labour vacancies in rural areas. One of the biggest barriers is access to affordable housing. Surely we should be planning to build more houses to tackle that challenge. I would see the 10 per cent as a minimum. Through the rural and remote housing plan, we will get more of a sense and evidence of what the actual housing need is. I want to take a more strategic approach to looking at the housing needs in remote and rural Scotland. We have been relying on community organisations and community responses to come forward with proposals. Sometimes that is quite difficult because of the complexity of doing so, so we want to assist communities to analyse and agree what the housing needs and priorities are and to work with them and with local authorities and social landlords to work up plans to deal with those shortages. The cabinet secretary outlined what action is being taken to reduce the impact, the huge increase in short-term lets that is having on the availability of rural housing, an issue that is of major concern of those living in those areas. I can say to the member that our licensing scheme will ensure all short-term lets across Scotland comply with basic safety standards to protect guests and neighbours. Local authorities will have discretion to add further licence conditions to address any local concerns such as littering or overcrowding of properties. The licensing scheme will provide local authorities with data on the number type and location of short-term lets in their areas. Of course, they can designate short-term let control areas if they wish to do so in order to address pressures created by secondary short-term letting. Within a control area, planning permission would always be required in order to let out a whole home for short-term lets. Finally, that will allow local authorities to manage high concentrations of secondary letting where it affects the availability of residential accommodation or the character of a neighbourhood. The shortage of housing is not just a rural issue but an island one. What action is being taken to tackle island housing shortages, which disproportionately affect young people and is a significant factor in island depopulation? I very much appreciate that. The remote, rural and island housing plan will absolutely look at the needs of island communities. It can also look at how we use the island bonds as part of the response to that. I just this morning met the leader of Shetland council to talk about many issues. That was one of the issues that we explored and we will be having further discussions about that as we take those matters forward. Question 6, from James Dornan, who is joining us remotely. To ask the Scottish Government what progress it is making on reducing child poverty. Tackling child poverty is a national mission and this is shown through the almost £1 billion of targeted investment that we provided last year. Our Scottish child payment has reached 108,000 children already and combined with our bridging payments will provide over £130 million directly to families this year. However, we will go further and double the Scottish child payment to £20 a week as soon as we can put the budgetary provisions in place. That complements wider action across government from the 1140 hours of funded early learning and childcare to the expansion of free school meals and increasing the school clothing grants. All examples of positive steps this government is taking to tackle child poverty. James Dornan? Does the cabinet secretary agree with me that Scottish child payment has already made significant strides towards reducing child poverty, not just in Scotland, but for the 58,520 payments made to Glasgow families, totaling £2,895,000, and that demonstrates the Scottish Government's progressive thinking, as opposed to the regressive universal credit cuts that the UK Government is callously pursuing? I agree with the member that the Scottish child payment has been acclaimed as a game changer in the fight against child poverty, projected to lift thousands of children out of poverty, and the member outlined how that is impacting positively on Glasgow families. However, the policy is being completely undermined by the UK Government's regressive £20 cut to universal credit, which will be the biggest overnight cut to welfare in 70 years. 60,000 families across Scotland, including 20,000 children, could be pushed into poverty. We have urged the UK Government to reverse their plans on numerous occasions, including most recently with the Welsh and Northern Ireland Governments. We have a supplementary from Pam Duncan-Glancy, who should be joining us remotely. Citizens advice has said that 4,000 families will lose eligibility to the Scottish child payment if they are abhorrent cut to universal credit goes ahead. Will the Scottish Government commit today to continuing to pay the Scottish child payment to those families? As I said, the UK Government cutting the £20 a week uplift to universal credit could reduce the number of children eligible for the Scottish child payment estimated around 2,000. For some families, the universal credit cut will be enough to remove their entitlement to the Scottish child payment. However, the problem is that we rely on top-up powers to deliver those payments. We do not have any other legislative basis in order to do so. What I would call for is the UK Government not to cut the £20 per week uplift to universal credit. We want people to remain eligible for the Scottish child payment, but because they are delivered through the top-up powers, we are very constrained with what we are able to do for those families. It is deeply disappointing that the Scottish Government has yet again failed to commit to paying the Scottish child payment in the next fiscal year in the way that all other parties have committed to, civic society has committed to and the faith committees have committed to. Of course, the answer is that independence is on my mind and there is room for nothing else. Can the minister explain why the Government insists on continually putting the constitutional obsession over the wellbeing of our young people? I find it astonishing that Atoria MSP would come to this chamber to demand that the Scottish Government double the Scottish child payment this year. In the very months that Jeremy McBalfour's Government is going to remove £20 a week... Excuse me, cabinet secretary, could you maybe resume your seat for a second? I do not want shouting across the chamber. I think that I might have touched a raw nerve, Deputy Presiding Officer, here. Every time Atoria MSP comes to this chamber and utters the words, child poverty, I will be reminding them of what their Government is about to do this very month in cutting £20 a week from some of the most vulnerable families. Get your own house in order before coming here and demanding that we do anything. Get your own house in order. It is an absolute disgrace and a total brass net. Question 8 Alex Cole-Hamilton To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on establishing a commission to prevent violence against women in all its forms. Violence against women and girls is one of the most devastating and fundamental violations of human rights and is totally unacceptable. Rather than establishing a commission to tackle it, we are committed to delivering against the equally safe strategy and continuing our collaborative work with a wide range of partners in the sector via the equally safe joint strategic board. We have also tasked the independent working group on misogyny and criminal justice in Scotland with evaluating how the Scottish criminal justice system deals with misogyny, including looking at whether there are gaps in the law. Alex Cole-Hamilton I am very grateful to the cabinet secretary for that reply. Earlier in the year when Scottish Liberal Democrats suggested the idea of a commission to prevent violence against women and girls, the Government agreed that they would certainly be willing to explore the idea of a commission with an open mind and that a commission might help to bring all of the strands of work together. Statistics published this week have shown that, in 2021, 1,045 stalking charges were reported to the Crown Office of those 592 were identified as domestic abuse. I am dismayed to hear the cabinet secretary. The question, please, Mr Glass. I suggest that there will not be a commission. I would ask her to explain to the chamber why she has decided not to embark on such a commission. Cabinet secretary, the member is aware of all the work that is going on in this area. I have described in my first answer the work that is going on around the equally safe strategy. I have also described the working group on misogyny and criminal justice, and there is also the review of the law that is going on in this area. The Minister for Community Safety has also been looking at what further areas of the law require reform. I do not think that anyone could really accuse the Government of not taking action across all of those areas. There is not that we have an, in principle, objection to a commission. We just think that this work is being taken forward already through these other platforms, and hopefully the member will engage constructively in those discussions. We will now move on to the next portfolio question, which is on constitution, external affairs and culture. I would firstly ask all members who may be seeking to participate in the portfolio questions, including back benches and front benches, if they could ensure that the card is in their consult. Secondly, if a member wishes to request a supplementary question, they should press the request to speak button or indicate, so in the chat function by entering the letter art during the relevant question. I turn to question number one, Rachael Hamilton. To ask the Scottish Government what support it can offer Borderlands region with its bid to be UK city culture 2025. I wish the Borderlands city region and sterling all the best in the long-listing stage of the UK city of culture competition. My officials met with the Borderlands bid team on 23 August here about the content of the bid to discuss useful connections that Scottish Government officials could help to facilitate, for example with Visit Scotland, to allow them to be on the front foot if long-listed. I understand that long-listed bids will be announced later this month. I thank Jenny Gilruth for that answer and I wish the other three Scottish bids all the very best too. We in the Borderlands are very well placed to showcase what we have in the borders, build on the cross-border and cross-party collaboration on the UK and Scottish Government growth deal. We need to link our intrinsic cultural, cultural, historical and societal links and draw international attention to the region. I would like to ask the cabinet secretary in the spirit of learning lessons from the previous Paisley bid several years ago what support and guidance the Scottish Government might be able to offer this exciting new Borderlands bid. I thank Rachael Hamilton for her supplementary answer. I recognise her constituency interest in the matter and I note that she votes in July to the UK Government's culture minister on this. It is a UK Government policy in which she will note that there is an expert panel, which will select six bids to receive support to develop a longer bid. In July, I signed off on the appointment of Roberta Doyle to the expert panel as Scotland's representative, and I note that DCMS has stated that they hope for a representative geographical spread in terms of the shortlist thing. If Scottish bids have been shortlisted previously but no Scottish bid has yet been successful in securing the title, indeed, the member will recall the amount of hard work that went into Paisley's bid that she mentioned. My officials have been in contact with the bidding team from the border's link, and we will continue to have those conversations. I look forward to seeing the longlist at the end of this month and hoping to see, of course, a Scottish representation in the final list. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. In a very similar vein, I ask the Scottish Government how it will support the bids from the Tay City region and Stirling to be the UK city of culture 2025. My officials have already met representatives from the Stirling bid and have sent a note of introduction to the Tay City team offering to meet. The Tay City team has advised my officials that they will be back in touch if they are longlisted to arrange a further discussion. Scottish Government officials have laid closely with the relevant UK Government team throughout the design and implementation process to ensure that Scottish interests are represented. I thank the minister for her response. Mid Scotland in Fife region has two bids to be the UK city of culture 2025. I ask the minister how the Scottish Government funding for cultural projects across the region will assist in supporting the important bids that are being taken forward. As previously stated, the UK city of culture programme is a UK Government-sponsored competition, but the Scottish Government's approach to working with DCMS on the UK city of culture 2025 competition was signed off on by the previous cabinet secretary in a letter to Oliver Doudin, a culture secretary, agreeing that Scottish Government officials would work with DCMS officials on the design and implementation of the process that I spoke to in my response to Rachel Hamilton. As I understand it, the Stirling bid is purely for Stirling itself, while the Tay City bid takes an Angus Dundee, the Northeast Fife perfect in Rossamac. I will not ask Mr Fraser to pick a sign, given that I know that he represents both areas. Likewise, I hope that he will understand that I will be keen at this stage to support all Scottish bids as they move forward. I would wish for Stirling and the Tay City deals the best of luck. In terms of funding, I note that, if Mr Fraser has any influence, he may wish to raise with his Conservative colleagues and Westminster the outstanding culture consequentials, which reduced the Scottish Government to a sum total of £31 million, on which the culture sector in Scotland is in dire need of just now. 3. To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with the UK Government regarding the impact of Brexit on Scotland's ability to import essentials such as food and medicine. Brexit has led to significant challenges, including labour and skills shortages, which could have an impact on supplies of food and other goods. It was an astonishing act of recklessness by the UK Government to press ahead with a hard Brexit in the middle of a pandemic, and it did so despite the Scottish Government providing detailed evidence of the damage that would cause. We are doing whatever we can to mitigate the harms that are inflicted on Scottish businesses. The Scottish Government has, at an official and ministerial level, attended 29 EU exit operations committee meetings since 1 January to discuss the impacts of Brexit with the UK Government. I have been contacted by constituents who are extremely worried about the consequences of Brexit on the recognition of UK prescriptions in the EU and with imports going through customs controls. Will the cabinet secretary urge the UK Government to rectify those problems? From 1 January 2021, UK-issued prescriptions are no longer valid in the European Union except in Ireland and Spain, where separate arrangements apply. Prescription charges can be applied to UK citizens by pharmacists in both of those countries. The Scottish Government continues to work closely with the UK Government regarding the impact of EU exit on the import of medicines in the event of any border disruption. I would also choose to stress to my friend that there is, of course, a solution to all of this, which is that, at the soonest and practical point, we should ensure that we rejoin the European Union so that we do not need to go through the continuing woes that Brexit is causing to our economy and so many communities have lengthened bread to this country. To ask the Scottish Government when it will establish the new overseas offices in Warsaw and Copenhagen as set out in its agreement with the Scottish Green Party. As announced in the programme for government, we will open a Scottish Government office in Copenhagen next year to increase Scotland's economic and cultural visibility in the Nordic region. Over the lifetime of this Parliament, we will also open an office in Warsaw as part of our continued commitment to enhancing our external reach and voice. Dean Lockhart? I thank the minister for that answer. As the minister will be aware, 32 out of 38 of the Scottish Government's existing international offices are located within British embassies and consulates. As the minister will also be aware, more than 60 per cent of Scotland's trade is with the rest of the UK, but there is only one investment and trade office in that market that accounts for 60 per cent of Scotland's trade. So let me ask the minister when will this Government take steps such as opening trade offices to support and increase Scotland's trade with the rest of the UK? In response to Dean Lockhart's question, Scotland's international network has been supported by ministers from a range of political parties for decades and I hope that we're not going to see a politicisation of this issue in the future. Going back to 1992, Scotland Europa was established in Brussels under a Conservative administration in Washington in Beijing, where it opened under the Labour-Lib Dem Coalition. Scotland's international presence is even more important now in the wake of Brexit, of course, which we did not vote for, and the damage that that is causing to our economy, jobs and trade. Our network of international offices promotes Scotland's enterprise internationally. Indeed, work to attract investment by our offices both at home and overseas has helped to increase foreign direct investment into Scotland by 6 per cent in 2020. The establishment of new overseas offices will play an important role in developing Scotland's international relationships. Can the minister provide an update as to what further action the Scottish Government is taking to strengthen Scotland's international presence and voice? Our international presence creates domestic opportunities, broadens our horizons, attracts investment and ultimately benefits the people of Scotland. Our policies and actions abroad will be consistent with our focus on fairness and inclusion at home. The programme for government emphasises our commitment to reviewing our approach to future policy and economic engagement, with a view to enhancing Scotland's global reach and presence. To ask the Scottish Government, in light of its co-operation agreement with the Scottish Green Party, whether it will provide an update on its position on maintaining the monarch as the head of state in independent Scotland? Can I begin with commending Douglas Lumson for his implied recognition that there will be an independence referendum? I think that that is extremely welcome. As the co-operation agreement between the Scottish Government and the Scottish Green Party parliamentary group makes clear, each party continues to have the right to set out their own vision for independence. The Scottish Government's view remains clear. Scotland will remain a constitutional monarchy with the queen as head of state, just as it is in a great many other independent Commonwealth countries. Can I thank the cabinet secretary for that response? Does he agree with the First Minister's adviser Mark Blyth that unwinding centuries of economic integration would prove devastating to businesses in the short, medium and long term? Would he further agree with me that Scotland is the best place to succeed in the short, medium and long term politically, economically and socially with both the monarch as head of state and the union as the defender of Scotland's interests? The general obviously needs to reread his history. Scotland was, of course, part of a treaty involving the crowns for 100 years before the treaty of union saw the end of the Scottish Parliament. As the First Minister set out, work on a detailed independence prospectus will now be taken forward in line with the democratic mandate that has been secured for a referendum. For the record, if it needs any more stressing, the parties that were committed to a democratic choice in the recent Scottish Parliament elections won the election, while the parties that opposed the referendum lost. We will determine how the work towards that referendum will proceed, and as we do for delivering our commitments across the whole range of our responsibilities in the interests of the people of Scotland. To ask the Scottish Government what work it has done to assess how many Afghan refugees can be housed across all local authority areas. Scotland will play its part in welcoming refugees from Afghanistan. We are undertaking urgent work with the Home Office, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, local authorities directly and other partners to assess the contribution that Scotland can make. Local authorities assess their ability to provide accommodation and services. Offers are then matched with refugees accepted for resettlement by the Home Office on the basis of their needs. We are keen to explore all avenues to provide suitable housing. However, we need detailed information from the UK Government to be able to progress work to identify suitable accommodation and service availability to meet the needs of people who are arriving. It would be useful if you could keep the Parliament updated on the number of refugees who come to Scotland. If you could perhaps give more detail on the money that was announced last week and how that will be spent. As he knows, the work that has been done on refugees previously has been funded by the Home Office. Could he perhaps outline what work he is now doing to look at the pressures on councils and what can be done by the Scottish Government to provide help with wider support services? First of all, I commend Kate Clark in the question that she has asked in the positive way in which she has put them. I welcome the questions that she has raised greatly. I held conversations on Monday with the new UK minister with the responsibility for Afghan refugee resettlement. It was a very positive meeting, but I want to be clear. I asked the very same questions that Kate Clark asked about funding, both in terms of direct funding and Barnett consequentials. Unfortunately, I have had no detailed breakdown of any commitments from the UK Government following on from that conversation. I will continue to press the UK Government. We need answers on that point. On the issues that she raises in terms of pressures and local authorities, that is absolutely right. That is why we need to understand the financial sides of the equation, but then there is also the issue of numbers that she addressed. If I could just put one simple fact into the debate that we are having around this issue to understand the scale of the challenge. Average Afghan family sizes is bigger than six. We want to make sure that Afghan families remain united. It doesn't take a genius to work out that it is a challenge to find in our housing stock houses that are appropriate for people in those circumstances. We are going to do absolutely everything that we can. I appreciate that people want hard and fast numbers, but it is a fast-moving situation where we are trying our best to identify housing stock that is available, work with local authorities, get the resources in place, and do the best that we can to maximise the number of people that we can take up in Scotland. Considerable concerns have been raised about the impact that the Home Office's Nationality and Borders Bill might have on vulnerable individuals seeking sanctuary in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK. Does the cabinet secretary agree that the bill's proposals are flawed and risk creating further barriers to vulnerable people seeking protection? Yes, I do. The UK Government's nationality and borders bill is deeply flawed and it will not create an immigration system that is effective, efficient and delivers for the most vulnerable. The bill will differentiate between people based on how they entered the UK, not the protection that they need. The Scottish Government recognises the need to deter and prevent abuse of our immigration and asylum systems. However, extremely vulnerable people, including children and victims of human trafficking, deserve a system that enables access to the support that they desperately need, not one that erects barriers. The bill puts Scotland's reputation as a country of welcome and of refuge at serious risk. The Scottish Government will continue to make the case for immigration and asylum systems that treat people compassionately and with the dignity and fairness at all times. To ask the Scottish Government how it is supporting the cultural sectors recovery in the current financial year, including the provision of funding. Thank you very much. Since the start of the pandemic, the Scottish Government has provided £175 million to the culture heritage and events sector far more than we have received in consequentials from the UK Government. That includes £25 million that was announced in June 2021 for the cultural organisations and venues recovery fund and the performing arts venues relief fund. We have created reopening of cultural performances and events guidance and will continue to revise it to ensure that it remains relevant to the sector. We will continue to work with the whole culture sector building on new relationships and existing relationships to understand the immediate challenges that it faces as it returns to full capacity. We will work with the sector to consider how to build a resilient future recognising that different parts will be affected in different ways. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. Pre-pandemic, there was a huge discrepancy in the dispersement of funds in support of the culture sector. Of course, we do acknowledge that the large cities have some national collections, but even so Glasgow received 25 times the funding per capita of North Ayrshire. Can the cabinet secretary therefore confirm it as we build back better such discrepancies will be tackled? Thank you very much. We know how valuable culture is and we are committed to continuing to provide access to culture for communities and creative workers across Scotland as we rebuild from the pandemic. We continue to invest in programmes with broad reach across Scotland such as the Youth Music Initiative and Culture Collective. Cultural venues across Scotland, including a number of North Ayrshire-based recipients, have received funding through the Culture Organisations and Venues Recovery Fund over the course of the pandemic, which has been an important step in supporting cultural organisations and venues in navigating those extremely challenging times. Thank you, and that concludes portfolio questions. I will allow a very short pause before moving on to the next item of business to allow anybody moving seat to do so now.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZJ02OD0caI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Good evening and welcome to the show. For our new friends who are probably thinking they are in the wrong podcast, don't worry, you are not lost. For those who know me, of course, my name is Martha Shingange, and I'm one of the top 10 gang members who keep the private property streets very busy with our comments and our questions. It really is only such a pleasure for me to guest host the show. As you know, Zama is getting some education, so she's away on Thursdays, and we are really looking forward to her coming back with some of the learnings. And of course she's preparing herself to make some boss moves. So a big shout out to our entire social media fam. I know my crew on Facebook are doing the most. I was on YouTube last night for the podcast to see how things are going on that side of the neighborhood. It was rather too quiet until I learned that everyone is now gathering here on Facebook. And of course it's because of the competition that we have going on. And of course we're also on Instagram, so whichever platform you are connecting from this evening, welcome, welcome. Now, fam, as you know, that private property brings us great shows every weekday at seven or 12, and again at 8 p.m. So if you are in the market for a new property, or you just want to admire some of the most beautiful and luxurious properties in South Africa, you can catch the home buyer's show with Chad on Mondays and Fridays right after this podcast. And for those with green fingers or are interested in agriculture and farming, Bali is on your screens on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You will never know. You might just start your own veggie garden with six garlic plants like I did. Yeah, there's only just six of them. Small beginnings, fam. Small beginnings. And of course if you need some inspiration or want to hear how others have started on their property investment journeys, the first time home buyer's show is on Wednesdays with AST. And believe me, there's no way that you wouldn't want to start something after watching that show. So do catch them on Wednesdays. Fam, how awesome is it that private property has extended the competition? They are really pushing the envelope while giving more fans the opportunity to get some cash. And of course, you know about the competition that has been running for a few weeks now. And now the new goal is to get to 20,000 comments and 10,000 shares.

And this evening, the money bag is back at 500 rents after Seleni, who is one of the top fans, took the price of 1,500 rents last night. So do stay tuned because we will be revealing tonight's winner a bit later in the show. Remember, you have to be watching the podcast live to claim your prize. Now, first things first, let's take some valuable notes. I know I'm ready with my notebook and my pen ready for this evening's show. Now, this evening, our guest is Leanne Harrison and she is the portfolio manager at RPA Property Administrators. And of course, we're talking about managing agents in community schemes. This topic, honestly, is really something that is very close to my heart because my smalling and a portfolio of properties are all sitting in sectional titles. So I really am looking forward to this. So welcome, Leanne. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Martha. I'm happy to be here. I really appreciate it. Hey, staff, how are you doing this evening? Very well. Thank you. And yourself? I'm awesome. I'm awesome. Thank you so much for really taking the time to be with us to talk about the issue of managing agents. I mean, they are the group, if you can call them, the group that holds the body corporates together, right? Yeah, I think as we were speaking earlier, you know, a lot of the times owners and trustees don't know what we do, actually do behind the scenes. So this is about creating awareness as to, you know, what a day in the life of a managing agent, you know, what we do every day, what you don't see us doing. And to realize that we don't only manage one scheme, we manage a portfolio generally. Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, I'm excited about it. So let's really just find out what value you are actually bringing before we get to that end. I think maybe let's start with a little bit of education because you have your sectional title schemes and you also have your home owners association, right? So can we just explain to us as to what are these two different schemes and how are they different from each other? Thanks, Martha. So the biggest difference and the most sort of common difference is a sectional title scheme is your complex where there's different units on, you know, either individually or top of each other in a building. And your home owners association is where it's an individual urban and usually a small estate or the like. That's a massive difference. And the other big difference is what they are, the legislation or the rules they are bound by. The sectional title scheme is bound by the sectional title scheme management act and other legislation. And then your home owners association is bound by the constitution that they incorporate when the home owners association gets created. So those are the major differences when it comes to the two. And I think a lot of the times that does the lines get blurred a bit because you'll find someone whose own sectional title or purchase in an HLA and they would think that the same rules apply when they were living in a sectional title scheme and isn't the case. So whenever I always say, whenever you're purchasing in either always look to see, you know, what rules apply because for me that's probably the biggest difference. It's generally very different, sometimes the same but there's always different rules applicable. Okay, great for that explanation. So you are looking at an estate, right? Where you might have different complexes. So those are now sectional title schemes but in the bigger scheme of things, if my understanding is correct, you can also then all of those schemes, the smaller ones, the smaller complexes, they now form what you would then call the home owners association, right? That manages the entire estate. So you call that probably a property owners association. So there'll be five or six schemes within a PRA, a property owners association. And then you look at the role of the property owners association, which is just to manage the common area for those body corporates. And within those body corporates, then you have specific rules that apply to the specific body corporate itself. So definitely very common as well, you get bigger estates where you've got smaller body corporates inside. You also get estates where it's body corporates and they've got individual urban as well within that PRA as well. I think that sums it up quite nicely. Let me take a bit of time just to say a few shout outs to some of our fans. I can see we've got Michelle Volmerans. I've seen happiness, Martina Manoleca. I see in learning Kuta. So it's really quite hitting up there in the comment section. All of our fans are really just having a great time interacting and sending a lot of love. They're sending us green hearts and just welcoming you as well to the show. So now that we understand the structures that actually exist in these properties, can we delve into the roles of the managing agent, which is probably the biggest part of our discussion this evening? Yes, thank you, Martha. So I like to split it up into three categories, mainly administrative, financial and compliance. And generally when we're dealing with trustees they only really see the administrative side. Behind the scenes, it's the financial aspect and then also the compliance aspect, which is very important because behind the scenes, we're the ones that are ensuring that the body corporate or the HRA is compliant with all legislation, any other regulations that they are bound by, even their own rules. So I like to break it up into those three categories. And that's quite important because you play a very important role when it comes to supporting the body corporate because there's quite a lot of rules that govern how sectional titles are ran and all of that. So maybe can you just get into what probably happens on a day-to-day basis? The behind the scenes, like you're saying, it's quite administratively heavy. I know I am a chairperson of the trustees body corporate. So I know there's quite a lot of like the invoices that are coming in every now and then. Please approve this, please approve that. Someone has beaten, someone's dog has beaten somebody. And a whole lot of things of those were even bombarded with things that you're not even sure whether that is actually your responsibility. What goes on behind the scenes? So I'll run you through a typical day, which I'm actually gonna run you through what I did today. So I get to work generally before we start. So I can get a handle on my emails, especially because a lot of the times, a lot of our queries on the administrative side is via email from our owners, trustees, contractors, other service providers. So, you know, we've got to manage that and prioritize what's important on a daily basis. You know, I had a site inspection this morning at nine o'clock with a security company. So on that aspect, I'm managing the service provider. You know, there was site inspection to see, you know, where are the gaps in the security? So as a managing agent or a portfolio manager for the specific body corporate, my job is to ensure that the security is functioning correctly at any site at any given time. So we had a meeting with the security because we had a few concerns. So that's one aspect. We then discussed the financial aspect. So in this instance, we looked at, you know, what are you paying us? What are we paying you every month and what value can you add? So in that way, I'm helping the body corporate manage their funds as well. And that way also ties in with their budget. So on any given day, any given month, you know, us as managing agents have to ensure that the budget that we prepare for the body corporate is being utilized correctly. We're collecting levies, so then paying service providers and contractors, that's one aspect. And I got back to the office and then you have the owner or trustee queries. And it can be anything from, you know, levy queries if the owner is querying interest charged or the, again, there's an issue with the rule, infringement of the conduct rules. Then my job is to ensure that whatever rule is being breached, I advise the trustees thereof, they instruct me as to what we should do. I first advise them that, okay, let's say for instance, refuse is being disposed of incorrectly. I tell the trustees, they instruct me to send out a warning letter or issue a fine whenever the rules may state. And, you know, then next thing, you know, we look at, we run meetings weekly, daily. So I had to review some financial statements. So in that way, when I'm looking at the budget, the next aspect is looking at the financial statements, seeing at their time with the budget, advising trustees why they are variances. We budgeted 5,000 grand for cleaning, but we spent 10,000. I have to answer to them as to why we spend so much. Why is there a variance? What the reason for that was. And as a good portfolio manager or managing agent, you should be able to tell your trustees and your owners why there's a variance, why we spent for money on X, Y and Z. So there's another financial asset we have to deal with. On the other side, we're dealing with compliance. So making sure that the body corporate is compliant in terms of any income tax regulations, any tax we have to pay, any compliance with insurance, making sure the body corporate is insured correctly. We deal with the brokers on that aspect. So that's definitely a typical day. Everything is mostly behind the scenes and we deal with our trustees and owners once or twice, but the race is purely behind the scenes. Wow, it sounds like a very, very busy day and you're probably a hundred in one because it's compliance, it's administrative. I'm really interested in what qualifications would one need to be a portfolio manager because you are just doing a whole lot of things. And obviously you need to know your way around the relevant rules, the legal aspect of things because you've got the important role of actually advising the body corporate, which is quite huge because now the body corporate is actually relying on you to ensure that they are doing things the right way. So that is quite hectic. But before we continue, Leanne, we have to go for a short break because we need to reveal tonight's winner of the 500 Reals cash prize. I know our random picker is on now and this evening we are saying congratulations to, let's find out who is walking away with the 500 Reals this evening. Who is it going to be? Is someone going to take it? Is it going to be a roll over? Let's find out. And the winner is Zintle Lirato Molo. You have until the end of the show to raise your hand and claim the prize. Congratulations, Zintle Lirato. Guys, please combine Zintle Lirato with love until she reveals herself on the comment section. Well done and congratulations. Now, Leanne, let's get back to it. We were just talking about the role that you play as a managing agent. Now, let's look at how should body corporates or trustees oversee the work that a managing agent does to make sure that they have put all their aspects covered to make sure that you are actually doing the right thing. What should we be looking out for? Thank you, Martha. So generally what I like to start off with is always work back with your management agreement you have with the body with the managing agent to see what the actual mandate is. A lot of the times the managing agent has a specific role to play and the management agreement will then prescribe those functions. And I think it's important for trustees when they take over as trustee or they become a trustee of a body corporate to understand that they take on a massive responsibility. So if I do show you duty in terms of applicable legislation and it's not only about letting the managing agent just run wild and make all the rules and enforce the rules, it's about it's a collaborative process whereby we work together on a daily basis or whatever the case may be, we have trustee meetings. I need to tell you that, okay, the rules say X how do you think we should go about it? Or we've received three quotations for the replacement of a gate. Who do you think is the best service provider? I mean, from my experience, I can tell you that contractor A, I've worked with them quite a bit. Maybe you work with contractor B and it's about working together to find solutions for the body corporate so that they can run properly. The managing agent's role sometimes is a bit more labor intensive but that is why you appoint us for that position and you pay us a monthly fee so we can advise you correctly. But when I say that I also state that trustees should make sure that when they're taking on this responsibility they know exactly what's going into it. They should be able to understand that when we submit financial statements, don't just sign them because you're signing something and if you don't understand what you're signing you shouldn't be signing it. So it's important that you have a good relationship with your managing agent in terms of all the functions they and all the roles they fulfill that you have an understanding as well because ultimately you're answering to the owners because you are appointed by the owners to manage it along with the managing agent. And I think that's quite important that at the end of the day body corporates are actually or rather the trustees are accountable to the body corporate. So it's also important that they rather the body corporate ensures that they have appointed people who have some kind of a skill because you need to know what are the things that you should be looking out for probably some basic financial management corporate governance because it all just really comes together at the end of the day. So now how do we, what must we look out for in terms of getting a good managing agent? So now we just want to appoint a new managing agent what are some of those key things that we should look out for? If the body corporate or H&A is looking at appointing a managing agent or looking at changing managing agents it's always important to highlight what do you think you are lacking in a managing agent or what you feel that is not isn't happening for you and then make sure that that is what you advise a new managing agent. But for me look out for a company that good references a good portfolio manager generally isn't overloaded with too many buildings. So for me it's about 15 to 25 buildings. If you go over 25 buildings as a managing agent or portfolio manager managed in 25 it becomes a conveyor belt situation where we're not actually providing a service or we're not adding value. And generally cost is always an issue because at the end of the day how much can the body corporate afford and also the resources that a managing agent can provide. So it's myself, my team is not only me I brought myself it's good that a portfolio manager has an assistant or somebody working with them plus their accounts team now you've got an accountant that's joining that's busy helping you a creditors clock, a jitters clock. What's the team that supports the portfolio manager at the end of the day because you want a managing agent with the best possible resources so that the body corporate can function properly with that? Yeah, that's so it's quite important that you ensure that you get value for the money that you are actually paying. Yeah, I know that's quite interesting. And I like the fact that you are talking about the number of buildings that they actually should you know the cap that you must be looking out for because some of these games are quite huge and you ask yourself how is the managing agent actually managing with all the issues that come in from just one building? So I can only imagine now when it's all these issues coming from every angle must be quite interesting. I see there's quite a lot of love in the comments section that we are still trying to find Zintle. I hope we are really going to find her before the end of the show because we are slowly but wrapping up. So please let us know if we are finding Zintle we really, really need to find her so that she can claim her prize. Otherwise it's a roll over to tomorrow. So Leanne, let's maybe take a few questions now and I really have to throw this one in. Can body corporates run their schemes without a managing agent? And what would be the pros and cons of doing that? Thanks, Martha. A very good question and very applicable. A lot of the times now, especially with body corporates, at the end of the day, when you're collecting levies to pay your expenses of the running of the body corporates and one of them is a managing agent's fee. So it's an important consideration where a lot of body corporates decide, okay, we're going to run it ourselves and save some money. And yes, that's possible. You can do it. Unfortunately, the problem comes in that any managing agent, even myself and the companies that I work for, our resources allow us to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, including financial aspects. And if you're a body corporate where you want to run it yourself, that's perfect. But it comes down to, do you have the resources to do so? And a typical example would be levy collection. So the act requires that there's a separate bank account for the body corporates and there's specific requirements for insurance to cover any loss of funds. So in that instance, when a group of trustees are wanting to establish or manage the body corporate themselves, they have to ensure they've got that in place. How the levies are collected, how are they raised? Have they got a system in place to send levy statements up on a monthly basis? Have they got a separate bank account opened? Who's going to reconcile the bank account at the end of every month? Who is going to collect levy areas or follow up on a real levies because that'll ultimately affect your cash flow, which affects payment to service providers. So it's about the resources that the body corporate has at their disposal and the pro of having a managing agent is that we have those resources behind us. And if you've got a group of five trustees who already have their most likely day jobs or they are fully employed to manage that as well, it could be quite time consuming. And also it might end up, I've seen it where the non-compliance comes in, where they don't have the necessary insurance in place for the bank account. But they haven't got the necessary insurance specifically for the body corporate. They haven't received the necessary advice that a managing agent could give them in terms of who to appoint, et cetera. So it's definitely about resources and the managing agent can provide that as opposed to self-managing scheme. I think we've got a good business case for body corporates not to try and cut the corners and save the money. Because really, I mean, there's also the sectional titles act that they need to comply with. And it's quite extensive in terms of their requirements. So if our fans who are watching, they are part of body corporates and they have been thinking how we can save it back and try and do it ourselves. I don't think you might want to do that unless there's probably just two buildings there. But yeah, it is quite intensive. It sounds very, very intensive. So Femme, I'm not sure. It doesn't look like Zindle has shown herself. It looks like we might be holding over that 500 rounds to tomorrow. Just the last one from my side, Eliane, and really this has been a very insightful discussion. What would you say are some of the common challenges that body corporates encounter as they manage their managing agents? Thanks, Martha. So I actually made a note here and I've always tried to live by this. Now, us as managing agents, we always tend to over promise under deliver, not myself specifically, but when it comes to response times on queries, transparency on financials, that is what makes a good managing agent. If you are able to answer something or at least provide a quick response time on a question, it creates confidence in the managing agent. And if a managing agent isn't providing you with the feedback I require in terms of where the lilies are going, what they're being spent on, not answering a query on a rule, for instance, what led to me wait seven days. It's something that makes for unsatisfied clients. So I think that's all about when we promise something to one of our trustees or one of our owners, it's important that we deliver on that promise. Whether it be something small or something big, because I see it as for those owners, no, it's your property. It's something that you've invested in. So you want the best value for what you are paying the managing agent. So for me, I think it's different, the quick response time, and if that's a problem, then you have to highlight it to a managing agent and transparency on every aspect of running on the body of corporate. Transparency is very important. And we see it a lot when we, myself, when we take over other buildings, and I'll give you an example today, we took over, I've taken on a new building in the CBD and the main issue for the trustees was lack of transparency and no responses on their queries. So it makes them, then there's no confidence in what the managing agent is doing. And you appointed me to run your scheme ultimately for you and that confidence has to be present or else that communicate or that break down or that lack of trust. If that's broken down, then the relationship isn't going to work. No, that's absolutely true because it's a relationship that we need to manage. But at the end of the day, the managing agent needs to understand that the body of corporate is actually paying for a service. And most of the time, I mean, the service doesn't come cheap. So they really need to get the best value for that kind of investment. So I think those are quite important issues that we should be looking for, transparency, your integrity, communication, because we are interesting with the whole bank account with all of our ladies in there and sometimes it can really go up to millions. So it really is quite important that we manage a good relationship between the two parties. And I think we are much wiser this evening. Thanks to all the insights that you have really shared. Thank you so much really for being with us. I really appreciate that you took the time to just come and educate us and just engage with us and share your knowledge about how we can better manage our managing agents, but also just to understand what role that you play in helping us to manage our investment. Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Martha. Lovely being on the show and I look forward to further evenings with you. Absolutely. I think we do need a follow up because it looks like there's quite a lot that we can cover on this one subject alone. Thank you so much, Leanne. Thank you. Thank you. And that of course was Leanne Harrison who is the portfolio manager at RPA Property Administrators chatting to us this evening about the role of managing agents. And I now have to laugh and leave you. It doesn't look like Zindler has claimed her price. So tomorrow the price will roll over to 1,000 rents. So summer is back tomorrow evening. So for me and the entire private property team, it's good night, loads of green hats your way. Michelle, I say come, please stay safe. Good night.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZF5gs9f8Ks", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCv0VRYOltlNQJLCyNMN61Nw	Side Effect Management: Hair Color & Loss	The world's largest, most respected, and fully accredited kidney cancer charitypresents a helpful video about management of a disease treatment side effect: Hair Color & Loss	[ "kidney cancer", "renal cell carcinoma", "rcc" ]	2015-04-18T21:47:44	2024-04-18T18:14:19	206	vZRb2X0xNjQ	Hi, my name is Nancy Ainsley. I am a urology research nurse at MD Anderson Cancer Center. I'm going to talk about hair color changes and alopecia, which is a thinning or loss of hair as a side effect to targeted therapies. There are many side effects which may affect your skin and hair while on targeted therapies. These side effects will vary from patient to patient and also vary depending on the type of targeted therapy you are taking. The most common side effects of the skin and hair are hand foot syndrome, rash, photosensitivity, scars and sores that may take longer to heal, splinter-like lines under the fingernails, skin or hair color changes, and alopecia, which is a thinning or loss of hair. Some patients have experienced hair color changes or depigmentation, which is a loss of color while taking targeted therapies. This hair color change or depigmentation is usually experienced with drugs that have a break in therapy, such as a rest period where you take your drug for several weeks, then you have an off period, and then for a couple of weeks, then you resume therapy. As you can see in this photo, this patient had hair color changes during the time that she was on therapy. Then the two weeks that she had a break in therapy, her hair color returned to normal. When she resumed therapy, the loss of color resumed. This is reversible and will return to normal after treatment is discontinued. These hair color changes may affect facial hair such as eyebrows, eyelashes, mustache or beards, as well as hair on the extremities. As you can see in picture E, the loss of color is evident during the cycle of treatment. Returns to normal when patient is off treatment and changes again when treatment is resumed. This can cause a zebra or striping effect on a person's hair. This does not require treatment but may affect the patient's self-image. Alopecia is a thinning or loss of hair. This may involve only thinning or complete loss of hair. It may occur on all parts of the body. It may start immediately or it can occur 7 to 21 days after the start of treatment. Alopecia is almost always temporary. However, when your hair grows back, it may have a different color or texture. To manage alopecia, be gentle when washing your hair. Pat it dry, no vigorous rubbing. Avoid items that could injure your scalp such as a straightening iron or curling iron, brush rollers or curlers or electric hair dryers. Avoid hair dyes or perms to relax the hair. Sleep on a satin pillowcase. A satin creates less friction than cotton. And protect your scalp when outdoors. In summary, communicate with your doctor or nurse when side effects occur that can help evaluate and help to manage your symptoms. Preventive care and management can minimize the severity of symptoms and increase treatment compliance and improve your quality of life while on these therapies.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZRb2X0xNjQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

But before we get into it, I gotta say real quick. This, this, this, all that good stuff. It's not a green screen. There was somebody in the comments section, she was like, oh, how did you get your green screen like that? And I appreciated the compliment, but it's real back there, it's real. It's not a computerized image or anything like that. That's real. But I appreciate you for sure. Anyway, first question. Well, more so comment too. Came from my guy, Zachary, who's been a patron for just a short amount of time. So I appreciate you, Zachary. He said, Rashad Bateman wants out. What's up, Engraven? I've been watching you for years and it's good to have someone that truly appreciates the Ravens. I live in Virginia Beach and it's just commanders, Steelers, Cowboys and Eagles fans everywhere. Hey, I appreciate you. And I think we all appreciate the Ravens for sure. We appreciate them in so many different ways, but nonetheless, we appreciate them. But anyway, continuing, he said, anyways, look at Rashad Bateman's Instagram. Only two pics showing any Baltimore affiliation and his stories are hardly ever about Baltimore. It's been noted before that he's had issues with the team's decision making, but maybe they should go after Deha because he might not be all in for Baltimore. What do you think? Now initially, when I first started reading this question, I was like, because at the beginning, he just said, Rashad Bateman wants out. And I'm like, what? Like, then I went to the Instagram and I saw like, yeah, you wouldn't even know he played for the Ravens by going to his Instagram. Now again, that could be his own personal Instagram. He just like, you know, I don't know, nothing would work there, but I don't know. Instagram has told a lot of stories. Social media in general has told a lot of stories about how players feel. So should the Ravens chill on why receivers now just to keep everybody's feelings intact, just to keep everything the way it is? I don't think they should. If there's an opportunity, and John Hubba always talks about it. He always talks, Eric Dacas always talks about it too, how if there's an opportunity for them to improve their team to get even better, then they wanna take that opportunity. They wanna make the most of that opportunity, right? So whether that was DeAndre Hopkins, most recently it was Laquan Treadwell, and they felt like he could make the team better. Competition is gonna bring out the best. Only the strong will survive. And I know that, hey, if they just chilled out at wide receiver right now, they could be straight, but if they added more, they could be even straight terror. But it's crowded there right now. It's very crowded right now. But in my opinion, I think it's a great problem to have because Raven's having had this problem like ever, like ever. So it's very exciting for me personally. But with the Raven, should they stop? No, I don't think so. Because it's like, if you, again, I understand feelings can be involved. I get it, trust me, I do. But with your feelings, you can either take those feelings that you have and they can bring out the competitor in you and you're like, you know what, I ain't backing down. Somebody want my job, they're gonna have to take it from me. Hey, they might take it, but what they may not. I mean, look at Chuck Clark last year. Chuck Clark said, hey, okay, they drafted Kyle Hamilton. He gonna have to take my job from me. And I mean, now Kyle Hamilton probably will, but last year he didn't. He didn't. Chuck stood 10 goals down and he stayed and stuck around and he did his thing. But with the whole wide receiver thing and Rashad Bateman, because it's a great question to think about, how would Rashad Bateman feel? What would Rashad Bateman do if the Ravens were to add somebody else of significance at the wide receiver position? Well, I mean, they already have twice this offseason. Even twice and a half, certainly twice. Add an O'Dell Beckham, Jr., but then Drafton Zay Flowers too in the first round. Rashad Bateman, he was a first round pick when Hollywood was still here. You see what happened with Hollywood. But not because of Rashad Bateman, but because of the scenario, the offense. And just saying it wasn't feeling it. So with Rashad Bateman, like it's been a double dose this offseason, they added O'Dell and Zay. And again, I say two and a half because they added Nelson Aguilera too. Another first round pick. They had a Laquan Dreadwell, another first round pick. So they just had all these first round picks and wide receiver this offseason. But again, I do not think the Ravens should stop just because of potential feelings because you got to try to put those feelings aside when you think about the potential of the entire team. It sounds like a dream, that's what I mean. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, out of made it, out of made it. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right engraving? Team, keep it clean. Welcome to another episode of Question From Subs, where you can ask any question you want to. If you want to be a part of it, for the team, keep it clean. Patrons, you can send it directly on Patreon. If you would like to join the Patreon, you can go to patreon.com slash engravingbiz. And if not, you can send your question to teamkeepitclean at gmail.com. Now, next question also came from a patron, my guy, Gareth, who's been a patron for two years. He said, ain't engraving, timing is everything. I've been going through a really bad time. I was nearing this too. That's why I haven't sent a question in. You really got me through a really tough time. I hope I'm man enough to share what it is. Hey, whenever you ready, you take all the time you need. If you want to share, great. If you don't want to share, that's fine too. But it ain't got to be with me, but with your family, your friends, share with somebody so they can know what's going on so you don't keep yourself isolated or anything like that because you never want to do that. And not that you want your business all out there to everybody, because I get it. I'm the same way. But you want to have somebody, at least one or maybe two people you could talk to and let them know what's going on. But anyway, he said, do you think we should trade for the honey badger? Once again, thank you for getting me through this hard time. I wouldn't have said anything if not for you talking through your beard. Love you man, you do so much. I don't do anything crazy, man. I don't do anything crazy. We all just normal people going through normal things in this life. It's an unfortunate part of life when we got to go through stuff. So hopefully whatever it is that you're facing, you can blast right through it. And you can look back and be like, man, I was going through that and I didn't know how things were gonna turn out but I made it. So hopefully that is it. But as far as honey badger, no Ravens as safety, they pretty good. They got Kyle Hamilton, expect him to move around a lot. They got Geno Stone. Hey, don't sleep on Geno Stone too. And they got Marcus Williams who, I thought last year he was amazing. I thought he did a great job. They got Brandon Stevens. We'll see if they have him playing safety in a corner this year, how early this officer even says safety. So we'll see what happens with that. So they got a lot of guys there now. If honey badger was a free agent, I mean it would be another DeAndre Hopkins situation where you got an opportunity to get even better, to add even more quality depth and a possible quality starter too. But no, I don't think they should trade for honey badger. The next question came from my guy Jason EG who'd been a patron for 10 months. So I appreciate you. He's saying, Raven, hope all is well with you and the fam. You, especially now with the initial rush of off season free agency, noise has been quelled. I personally had to take a mental break from it all. Hey, I feel you man, that's how it be sometimes. He said, I came across a YouTube video. Raven's 200 Greatest Plays. See, I seen a lot of people talking about that video. I came across that video too and I started watching it, but then I started having to do something else so I never got to finish it. But anyway, he said question, isn't it far past time to put Chris McAllister and Jermaine Lewis in the ring of honor? And he said, quiet side note. Yes, I recall Lewis had a couple of instances a few years back that may be a PR red flag, but those dudes deserved it as do many others. Oh, I didn't know Jermaine and Lewis had anything off the field. I don't even know what you're talking about with that. But I feel like with the ring of honor, it's like, to me, it seems like it's for players that are like almost borderline hall of famous, if not hall of famous, but obviously it's for those huge, consistently impactful players for the Ravens. That just did it year in and year out. As far as Jermaine Lewis, we know he was a big part of the Super Bowl, so that is obviously huge. That's a tricky one, man. That's really, as far as Chris McAllister though. Chris McAllister, like, hey, that's a really tricky question, man. That's tough. Chris McAllister, he used to be my favorite quarterback. Number 21, he used to be my favorite quarterback, man. Chris McAllister, he was from, I think, Arizona state. Probably because I felt like we looked like a little bit too. Cause we both got the big guys. Sometimes I'll be having a ball here and whatnot, but he had hair sometimes too, but now I had always liked Chris McAllister a lot. And I remember, he was a beast of Madden too for me. He was a monster, man. He used to take care of business for me on that side of the field, but for Ring of Honor, I don't know, man. I'm gonna leave it up to the comment section to answer this one for both Jermaine Lewis and Chris McAllister. Next question came from Jaime. He said, title, hot wide receiver to take. All right, let's see how hot it is. He said, I wanted to thank you for every time you have given our team, keeping clean family, short pauses to be thankful. It is in these small pauses that we truly stop and realize all the love that is around us. Yeah, that's important, man. That's important. I was just talking to one of my guys today and just telling him about how love is so important, man. And it's so important because there's so much negativity that's out there in the world that we see on a daily basis all the time, whether it's on the news, whether it's some people we know, whether it's this social media, whether it's this, that, whatever. It's so much negativity that we see all the time. Constantly seeing negativity, all the time. But that's why it's so important to try to be as positive as you possibly can be. Obviously you can't be positive 24 seven. It's impossible right now in this system. It's impossible. But try, to really try for us to give more effort to show people love, show people positive, positivity and whatnot is just to try. It can make such a big difference. Anyway, he said to the question, this year we'll bring a new challenge to our organization. This is the first year where we can smell the competition in every wide receiver position from one to six, hopefully seven. Due to his pedigree, there is no doubt that OBJ will be wide receiver one until further notice. What are you gonna see? What are you gonna see? Cause that could be Rashad Bateman. I mean Lamar Jackson gave his endorsement and everything. He slipped it in there. He tried to be slick with it, but he slipped it in there. He said, oh yeah. He said Bateman, Bateman wide receiver one. He slipped it in. He slipped it in. It's so smooth during his last presser. But anyway, he said wide receiver two might be the most controversial and potentially problematic. Let's see what he's talking about. I've been nothing short of excited to see what Zay Flows can bring to the table. It is not a question of what he'll bring, but a question of when. However, I've been growing a bit worrisome with his seemingly large ego on his interviews. While confidence can be a positive, cockiness can be deceiving. On the other hand, we have Bateman. I'm not sure of the last time that I've heard of him this off season. In my opinion, I'd rather have quietness than smoke and mirrors on social media in the press. I would not be surprised to see a huge jump from our man especially with his idol giving him pointers along the way. He talking about Odell Beckham, Jr. Bateman has a very high potential that could finally be tapped into with a more traditional modern offensive scheme. That right there. I understand it is hard to ask for a team mentality from a YRC room, but this is the only way everyone may shine. I believe Zay and Bateman will work as a team and winning will cure some of the potential locker room tensions. There's a lot of first round picks in that room. Hey, that's what we were just talking about. Let's hope the veteran presence balances out in experience. Thank you so much for all that you do for this family. I'm proud to have for you come while staying humble. Hey, no, I appreciate you. Like crazy, man. So thank you, Jaime, for this. And I don't think this was a crazy hot take or anything like that. Now, I think Bateman could be YRC with one. Odell could be YRC with two. But as far as the battle between, because it seemed like you insinuated like a YRC with two battle between Bateman and Zay Flowers, I don't think it would be that. I don't think it would be that. At least not now. Right now, I, me, I think like the primary outside Y receivers, Bateman and Beckham. Bateman and Beckham, maybe. And then Zay as the slot guy. But with Zay, like, I expect for them to really move him around, like have him in motion before the snap and whatnot, maybe use him like sort of how they use Devon Duvenay, but in some different way, because he's shiftier than Duvenay. Duvenay got some good speed and Duvenay like a little pit bull because he low to the ground, but Zay is shiftier than him. But Duvenay is straight line speed, Zay, shifty. So I think they could sprinkle in some different things to do with him. Not all the time. You're still going to use him as a traditional YRC with two, but I feel like you could do a bit more with him. So we'll see what Tom Monke has in store. So I don't think this was too hot of a take. Next question came from my guy Nova. He said, what's good in gravy? Here with two more questions for you. Thank you for all that you do for us. And definitely enjoyed the Lamar Jackson interview. Appreciate that. Never change or settle and appreciate the outlet you provide for us fans hoping you and the fam. Oh, well, I appreciate that Nova. Thank you, man. So I need to start this with my apology to Eric D'Costa. I've been critical of him for the past two years and this offseason is I had him written off for the mishandling of Lamar. But my opinion is this was less from him and more of Lamar using the leverage of a contract to get what he wants. But needless to say, we can count this offseason as a win based off of that alone. The Ravens get that much needed cap relief and we all know who will line up behind Linda Baum for the foreseeable future. That is a beautiful thought to have, right? We know who our quarterbacks gonna be. And with that said, I think the second biggest win this offseason has to be Todd Monke and taken over for Greg Roman. My opinion, of course, but even if the Ravens has signed OBJ and Agilore and drafted flowers, none of that would have had the same impact if G-Row or Steele are OC. So my first question is, what should we expect from Todd this year in regards to our offense? I expect actual usage and routes of our receivers and less predictable play calling, but my fear is that we want something so different that our offense basically becomes buffaloes these past few years. But the quarterback throws 50 times a game and is also the leading rusher on the team. What I'm hoping for is just, it's on like a game by game basis. It's not like set in stone, like I'm not one of them people like, oh well, 50% pass and 50% pass, 50% Russian. I think it should be game by game basis. Like there gonna be some games where that pass game is working aid. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. There gonna be some games where the run game is taken over. But I'm just hoping that they can go into games and not just have a set game plan. And I don't want them to be like, all right, this is our game plan, and we're gonna stick to it no matter what. Now, obviously you're gonna have a game plan. You're gonna have a game plan against different opponents and whatnot. And you're gonna wanna execute that game plan. But hey, sometimes that game plan needs adjustments. Sometimes the game plan ain't working. So I'm hoping that Ravens have a plan A, obviously, the game plan, but then have a plan B, plan C, and just really try to make stuff happen. Make, try to make stuff work if it's not working. Go to something else. And I hope that with Todd Monkin, like he can be a lot more in the flow of the game than Greg Roman was. And again, Greg Roman was not all bad. So I don't want people to think that or people to say that like Greg Roman was all bad. He was just this terrible offensive coordinator that couldn't do anything right. No, no, no, no. He did have a lot of stuff that he did right. But the stuff that he did bad, it was just so consequential for the Ravens and it has such a big impact. Again, the situational stuff. That's another thing we're hoping that gets better. The situational play calling. Oh boy. So yeah, those are just some of the things. He said, my hope is balance, along with modern wrinkles of the offenses doing, keeping a few G-Row things that actually worked. See, he talking about stuff with G-Row that worked. But anyway, he said, for example, let Lamar work on the cinema but keep some of the pistol formation as well. Just not any QV design runs. Or more hurry up offense when we have the defense out of position but keep something like a fullback dive in a playbook for short and goal line situation. I guess the ball to G-Row's favorite receiver, Project Pat LLL. Love to hear your thoughts on this. Yeah, so we pretty much covered that but I do love that Lamar being under cinema. Because if you add under center plays and just make that a regular thing, that opens up the playbook so much. That's something that G-Row talked about. He's like, oh yeah, this year Lamar's gonna be under cinema. We ain't hardly see Lamar in the center at all. So that's something that can really expand the playbook a lot. He also said, second question is now that we have OTAs going on, there's still free agents there that we can sign. I have some free agents in mind so love to hear your thoughts on these players. Keep in mind, I'm sending this after the Sioux video you made so I won't include him. Number one, Justin Houston. Things are no brainer here. As a vet, I hope he can come back when we start mandatory camp. I think so far that's probably what it's looking like. Ain't nothing set in stone, obviously, but ain't heard nothing else about Justin Houston, so we'll see. Kyle Fuller, ooh, cornerback. We never got to see him in meaningful action and I feel like we can get another one year deal from him and we can run this back assuming he looks good after his surgery. That's a good one, some more cornerback depth. Jarvis Landry. This could be overkill, but with the health issues we could face is staying ready so we don't have to get ready. Also, we've seen this tandem with OBJ and Munkin before except there's a bit of quarterback in place so maybe we can make this a match especially since our doubt DHOP, oh, this is before DHOP got released. He said, especially since our doubt DHOP will get released and come to be more. So we'll see about that one. Dalton Ryzener. We can use some competition at Guard and he was the best O-Line for Denver last year. That's not saying much. He wrote that, that's not me saying that. That's not saying much part. He's also still young, so maybe a change of scenery could do him good. He's been good, albeit not great for his career similar to Powers. Mark Ingram. Loved Mark Ingram, loved his energy, loved his vibe, but to Sino, I don't know. Anyway, let's continue. He said, Mark Ingram, so this isn't really for playing as I know our top three backs will get more play time than him but that 2019 season felt different and Ingram had a huge part in changing the vibe around. Okay, see, he said the vibe too. Changing the vibe around Vimo with the revamp we've made. Why not bring our hype man back to Charm City, LOL. Hey, hire him as a coach then. That's what the Ravens should do. Hire Mark Ingram as a coach. And he said, as usual, appreciate what you do and hope nothing but success for you and yours. Hey Nova, I love you man, I appreciate you. Next question came from my guy Dominic. He's been a patron for eight months. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope you're in a family doing well. So I've been thinking with the additions of the new receivers Lamar and the contract and the new position coaches. I think there's not just a lot of pressure on Lamar but Todd Monkin as well. Oh yeah, for sure. For sure, it's pressure on both of them. Pressure on Lamar to deliver after the contract and with a new offensive coordinator and actually like legitimate wide receiver core. Yeah, pressure. There's pressure on Todd Monkin to orchestrate that as offensive coordinator. So for sure there is. Even with Monkin coming off a high with Georgia in his stand in the NFL, are we just saying he is automatically going to be a good coordinator? Are we underestimating the amount of pressure that he has on him? This is a team that must make it to the AFC championship at least in my eyes. What do you think? I love that. I love your expectations. I love the bar that you set for this team. I think with health, they could definitely make an AFC championship. I do with health. Health is the biggest thing right now. But yeah, I've been guilty of that. I've been guilty of just really just assuming, like, hey, Todd Monkin here, this thing going to be great. And I think it can be great because with Greg Roman, the offense, they did pretty good overall. Now again, situational stuff. But for it being a limited offense, they did pretty good overall. And it's crazy to think about that, just how limited they were. Jameson Hensley brought that out recently in his article. But there's a lot of pressure on him. And one thing we have talked about on here that they could be growing pains. So it may not be clicking right away, but eventually once this thing gets rolling, it could be dangerous in a good way. Last question on this episode came from my guy, Martin, who's been a patron for two years. He said, this happens every year and it annoys me to know in the Ravens media put out these hype videos every year for certain players. This year is due. Last year, it was, I'd say, likely. Last year was due a lot too, but then due, he started delivering. But then when Bateman got hurt, they just, they were mishandling dove and it just, but anyway, but they do this every year. And I don't want to blame the fans of the media, but it happens every single year where they unfairly hype up these players. Then when they don't meet the hype, fans unfairly criticize these players, calling them nothing. But preseason hype, that ain't their fault. People place these unrealistic expectations on them. And I'm saying don't hope for them to be the best they can, but don't hate because they fail to meet your expectations. I've been guilty of this in the past, but I have been working hard to change my mindset. I no longer like calling players busts or failures. They are people too, with the whole city's worth of weight on their shoulders. He said, heck, I struggle when one person puts expectations on me. I can't imagine tens of thousands of people. Let's cut these guys some slack, but I hope for the best while still being excited. So yeah, that's real right there. That's real right there. He said, no rush. I know you're super busy with everything going on. I appreciate you giving me a platform to voice my thoughts on. No man, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. So thank you for that. But that's real right there. That's real right there. And I appreciate you just really showing that respect for the players. Because yeah, they do have a immense amount of pressure on them. And I can't really blame the Ravens. I think Ravens are a team, I'm obviously from us watching the Ravens for years and stuff, all of us. I ain't just saying me, but all of us watching the Ravens and stuff and really watching just other NFL teams, they want you to be excited. Like it'd be one thing, like think about it the opposite way. Like what if Ravens didn't put out any hype videos or any highlight videos or OTAs or anything like that. Everybody would just be sitting there like wondering, hey, what's going on with OTAs? We ain't heard of it. We ain't seen no video. People love those videos. We love those videos. We love seeing that stuff because it gets you excited for the mini camp and training camp. It gets you excited for pre-season. It gets you excited for the regular. It gets you excited and it keeps you engaged. It keeps you wanting more. So that's why they put out those videos. And hey, sometimes the players that they hype up meet expectations. Sometimes and a lot of times they don't. It just happens, but it's not really, I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't be like, all right Ravens, don't put out no hype videos on any players because then people are gonna get upset. Like, oh man, why are we not seeing the video on this guy, that guy, that? Why we not seeing anything? So, but I do really appreciate the part with just not even necessarily 10 back, you could temper expectations, but just have respect and try to put yourself in the player's shoes and think about all that pressure that's on them. Like in the NFL, like this is the big boy league, man. I mean, college is tough enough. But then to the NFL, it gets that much tougher. And this is where you get in paid legally. Well, now in college you can get paid too. But I mean, years ago it wasn't like that. But now you can get, you're getting paid the big money. Well, in college you can make big money now too. But anyway, in NFL, like it's cutthroat, man. It's cutthroat. And as soon as you get into the league, you can get out even faster. So it's tough. It's really, really tough. And you don't get many chances either. You do not get many chances. So I really appreciate you talking about cutting the players some slack. But Team Keeping Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Shout out to Martin for our last question on this episode. Thank you all who participated in the question from Sub. Thank you all who watched it. I love y'all and on that note, we are out.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZMNQenS8Yo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC8DAc8YrIi1PcnkjGvlGgBw	10 Impressive Mega Projects In Uganda.	10 Impressive Mega Projects in Uganda Uganda is a landlocked East African country with a varied terrain that includes the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains and the massive Lake Victoria. Chimpanzees and unusual birds are among the rich biodiversity. The mountain gorilla sanctuary of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is located in the remote Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Murchison Falls National Park, located in the northwest, is famed for its 43-meter-high waterfall and fauna, including hippos. Sir Winston Churchill referred to Uganda as the "jewel of Africa" in his book "My African Journey" published in 1908. Uganda is a country rich in natural resources, topographic characteristics, and lively nightlife scenes, and is known for its beautiful wildlife, stunning colors, and natural beauty. Uganda, being a country of immense beauty, is making multiple efforts to enhance its splendour while also growing its economy. Uganda is in the midst of implementing major and mind-blowing development initiatives in order to better the lives of its population. Here are the top ten projects highlighting Uganda, the "jewel of Africa." Please make sure to like and subscribe to Africa Reloaded before we start the countdown. 10. KABALE ENERGY PROJECT ($5 MILLION). Energy is the driving force behind any country's economic development. Uganda requires adequate, dependable, and inexpensive energy in order to achieve long-term growth. As a result, energy is a high-priority area for the country's development. Uganda has vast natural resources such as minerals, hydro, geothermal, petroleum, and solar thermal energy, but only a small portion of their potential has been realized. The rural Kabale electrification project is nearing completion of a 33 MW power station based on 'Peat' technology near Kabale town in Uganda's south west.

Shimpanzis and unusual birds are among the rich biodiversity. The Mountain Gorilla Sanctuary of Bee Windy Impenetrable National Park is located in the remote Bee Windy Impenetrable Forest. The Marchison Falls National Park, located in the Northwest, is famed for its 43-meter high waterfall and fauna, including hippos. Sir Winston Churchill referred to Uganda as the jewel of Africa in his book, My African Journey, published in 1908. Uganda is a country rich in natural resources, topographic characteristics and lively nightlife scenes and is known for its beautiful wildlife, stunning colors and natural beauty. Uganda, being a country of immense beauty, is making multiple efforts to enhance its splendor while also growing its economy. Uganda is in the midst of implementing major and mind-blowing development initiatives in order to better the lives of its population. Here are the top 10 projects highlighting Uganda, the jewel of Africa. Please make sure to like and subscribe to Africa Reloaded before we start the countdown. 10. Cabel Energy Project, $5 million. Energy is the driving force behind any country's economic development. Uganda requires adequate, dependable and inexpensive energy in order to achieve long-term growth. As a result, energy is a high-priority area for the country's development. Uganda has vast natural resources such as minerals, hydro, geothermal, petroleum and solar thermal energy, but only a small portion of their potential has been realized. The Rural Cabel Electrification Project is nearing completion of a 33-megawatt power station based on peak technology near Cabel Town in Uganda's southwest. It is aimed at Uganda's social and economic growth, with the goal of increasing power use and improving security through improved lighting systems. The total cost of the project is anticipated to be $5 million. The electricity will be delivered to a government utility. 9. Car Manufacturing Company, Uganda's Kira Motors Corporation is a state-owned automobile manufacturer. The company commercialized an electric solar bus, the first of its kind in Africa, Africa's first electric vehicle in 2011, Africa's first hybrid vehicle in 2014 and Kira's Motors' Kaila prototype electric bus in 2016, with support from a presidential initiative for science and technology innovation. The company commercialized an electric solar bus, the first of its kind in Africa. The Kaila EVS is a fully electric, low-floor city bus with a range of 300 kilometers. The company, which is headquartered in Entinda, Kampala, Uganda, and is backed by Mackere University, which owns 4% of the company, introduced its latest Kaila diesel bus, a 47-seater executive coach in February 2021. The company's goal is to be able to manufacture all of the parts and build the car in Uganda by 2039. 8. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline, $3.5 billion. Uganda is having trouble clearing a pipeline route that will transport oil to Tanzania. After nearly four years of negotiations, the project's key partners eventually secured an agreement in April, paving the way for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline to be robbed using pegs. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline, also known as the Uganda-Tanzania Crude Oil Pipeline, is a 1,404 to 5 kilometer pipeline that would deliver oil from Uganda's oil, reserves to Tanga, Tanzania, across the Indian Ocean. When completed, the pipeline will be the world's longest crude oil pipeline. The project's building phase was originally scheduled to begin in August 2016 with a $40 billion cost budget, but due to numerous delegations and conferences. The construction date has been pushed back to July 2021 with a cost estimate of $3.5 billion, with first oil expected in 2025. When the oil is produced, it will be partially refined in Uganda and then exported to the international market via the East African Crude Oil Pipeline. 7. Solar Wave Safe Drinking Water Project, $500,000 Since 2015, Solar Wave Uganda has been one of Uganda's leading specialists in clean and safe drinking water. They've implemented over 400 high quality water filtration systems for a diverse range of customers, including schools, NGOs, clinics, businesses, farms, and private homes. Solar Wave believes that everyone should be able to access clean, inexpensive drinking water, thus it installs, operates, and maintains high quality drinking water purification technology. Solar Wave is the main provider of safe drinking water solutions in Uganda and East Africa, with headquarters in Kampala, with the goal of saving lives and enabling healthier and happier livelihoods. The private limited corporation embarks on projects to provide potable water Solar Wave expects to have constructed up to 3,000 water treatment systems in Uganda by the end of 2021, providing safe drinking water to at least a million people at a cost of around $500,000. 6. Kampala Cable Car Project, $200,000, Driving a 2 km stretch in Kampala during rush hour can take up to an hour. The nature of the traffic congestion that jams up the capital of the East African country is as follows. The Kampala City Council Authority, KCCA, has taken an unusual approach to dealing with this issue. They've already started feasibility studies for a pilot cable car system that will run from the city center to a number of suburbs. The cable car project was started by the Kampala Capital City Authority. In 2014, the authority planned a $200 million urban cable car system to upgrade, expand, and rehabilitate the road network. Kampala has a 1,200 km road network, with 20% of it in fair condition. Kampala is Uganda's most important economic center, accounting for more than 60% of the country's GDP. It's also estimated that traffic bottlenecks cost the economy $135,000 a day in wasted fuel, with commuters losing a total of 2,000-4,000 hours every day. The current plan for the cable car is for it to travel from the city's outskirts to the city center. This project would reduce pollution, decongest traffic, increase transport connectivity, and beautify Kampala's urban environment. 5. National Fruit and Vegetable Development Project $120 million The National Fruit and Vegetable Development Project, based in country-wide, is a $12 million project aimed at processing fruits into dry products, and a variety of other products, as well as upgrading vegetable products. The project, which began on 1st of February 2018 and will expire on 31st of January 2022, is designed to reduce the threat of post-harvest losses and wastage during bumper harvest. As a result, the estimated $120 million initiative has the potential to generate jobs, generate revenue, and stabilize the market. The National Fruit and Vegetable Development Project's goal is to expand the amount the fruit grown for local, regional, and international consumption. 4. YAA International Regional Grain Hub Commercial grain trade, value addition, fortification, packaging, and branding are all specialties of this organization. It cleans, dries, and stores mace grains in a hub with a capacity of 2,000 metric tons, then processes them. The YAA International Regional Grain Hub, which is located in the Kapi-Kanakis District and Sections of Wakaizo, Kuboga, is a project of YAA International Investment Company Limited, which was established in Uganda on July 27, 2017, the company has a state-of-the-art grain handling and processing facilities in Kapiqa, 60 kilometers outside of Kampala. The drying capacity of a plant is 10 to 15 metric tons per hour. 3. New Koki Hydro Power Project, $18 million. The New Koki Hydro Power Project is a 6.5 megawatt, 8,700 horsepower power station that includes a dam and hydro plant of a Muvumba river in New Koki, Uganda. The dam and hydro plant are expected to cost $18 million and will be funded by Sri Lankan developers and the Ugandan government. Starting on the project began in September 2015 and power generation began in March 2017. The electricity generated is sold to the Ugandan Electricity Company Limited, bringing in revenue for the government. 2. Port and Shipping Network at Lake Victoria, $18 million. Lake Victoria is a significant source of revenue for East African communities such as Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, as well as their only mode of transportation. This project was designed to solve the urgent need for maritime transportation, which had declined in 2015 as a result of an accident in which two Ugandan ships collided while transporting commodities to and from Tanzania. The goal of the project was to create safe, efficient, cheap and environmentally friendly transportation systems that would boost fishing and help close the gap between poverty and food security. 1. Kampala Storage Terminal Project, $150 million. The Kampala Storage Terminal, or KST, was built on 300 acres of land purchased by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development. The project was given to UNOC, which was in charge of the terminal's development and operation. The project development plan has been completed and UNOC will use a competitive approach to choose a development partner with financing and experience in the development and operation of petroleum terminals. The Kampala Storage Terminal is a project started by the Ugandan government and other strategic partners under the Energy and Mineral Development Commission's petroleum sector. The $150 million construction project, located in Kampala, Uganda's capital city, aims to improve Uganda's petroleum energy, security and safety. It is expected to take up to five years to complete. Since its inception in 2018, the project has been on track to be finished by 2023. Urbanization is the key to achieving productivity and a path to economic progress in underdeveloped countries like Uganda. Economic growth also provides citizens with better living conditions. Uganda's natural beauty and splendor are matched by its top 10 development projects.

UCXB8fM4VyQubRu3UVGhd3wA	Seventh ECB Annual Research Conference - Interview Jean Tirole	Jean Tirole, Toulouse School of Economics	[ "ECB European Central Bank", "ECB" ]	2022-09-13T15:02:49	2024-02-05T16:37:18	149	vZM9QsrtFfE	The main theme of this Schoenman lecture was market power in the new economy. There are lots of concerns about increased markups, about winner-take-all. We see lots of quasi-monopolies, GAFA, for example, and we wonder what to do with them. So there's a lot of European regulation in the making trying to curb market power, make sure that the monopoly segments are contestable so that more efficient entrants can enter those markets. They're also trying to make sure that merchants' apps are getting their fair share of the deal and getting a good access to the platform. And the work of economists is really to think about new ways of regulating the platforms while keeping the innovation going, and that's of course very important. So this research is really about regulating the digital markets, which actually is a little bit complicated because we need new frameworks. So for example, nowadays we have lots of zero prices, what I call the zero or bound. We as consumers get lots of wonderful services for free. Of course there's a catch because the other side of the market is paying a lot, the advertisers or merchants. But also the apps themselves often charge zero because they are making money elsewhere. And this is a new economy which gives rise to new features in terms of antitrust, and we have to think about that. Second part of the lecture was about the currency war between cryptocurrencies, the price money, and also the CBDCs, and try to think about whether this new technology, which is wonderful, blockchain and the like, can actually deliver for the common good. Because we see with cryptocurrencies that it's not always the case that the new technologies actually put at the service of the common good, rather than tax evasion, money laundering and the like. So we need to make use of the new technology and try to improve our welfare in the process.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZM9QsrtFfE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Now what does that mean? Bold, the definition of bold is something that is confident and courageous, willingness to take a risk and a prediction is a forecast. So this is a risky forecast which means that my predictions in this video are not my actual predictions for the NBA season. For example, the MVP, the rookie of the year, who's gonna be the first seed, who's gonna win the NBA championship, all that kind of stuff will happen on this channel in the future. When the NBA season is creeping up on us I will make that video but today this is my bold predictions video. So let's get into it. First of all I just want to say a massive thank you to everybody on this channel watching right now and on this channel in general. You guys have shown so much support over the recent month and I just want to give you guys a massive massive thanks. If you enjoyed this video be sure to smash that like button and let's see if we can reach a thousand likes for the next video tomorrow and if you're new around here hit that subscribe button. Anyway, just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support. Let's get into the video. And before I get into the video I just really want to touch up on one thing and it's related to my last video. You can skip this part. I'll put a timestamp in the description where you can skip to the actual video but I want to get this off my chest because I got so many comments saying I was so biased in the last video you're just upset that you didn't get Russell Westbrook. I'm really not. Russell Westbrook of course is a great player don't get me wrong but the asking price that Oklahoma was trying to get for Russell Westbrook they want to bam anti the hero and I would have much rather kept those two than get an aging Russell Westbrook on a huge contract. Yes, we know who the better team is. It's easily the Houston Rockets. The video was just an offseason ranking. They got Russell Westbrook. Is he a better player than Chris Paul? Yes. Is he a better fit than Chris Paul? I mean that is debatable. They also got an aging Tyson Chailor and Anthony Bennett who I mean hasn't really been in the league for many years and is a bust and they lost Chris Paul and a future first round picks. I was literally just ranking their offseason and I gave them a C. It's really debatable. I don't think the Rockets got that much better this offseason. If we're comparing teams then yes the Rockets are so much better than the Heat. They're a championship level team. That is not what the video was about. They didn't win. They didn't lose. They just stayed the same. That is how I ranked them and I do try to make this channel as unbiased as possible and that was just my personal opinion. I believe the Westbrook is a better player but the fit isn't as great in saying that who's the better team? Easily the Houston Rockets but that wasn't what the video was about. Anyway, let's get on to the video. That was just a rant I had to get off my chest. Here are my bold predictions of the 2019-2020 NBA season. Number one, the Houston Rockets win 55 plus games and tie as the second seed in the Western Conference. This is a bold predictions video like I've stated a million times and some people in the comment section I can already see them writing wow you just saying that because you wanted to make up for what you said in the last video? Absolutely not. I believe that the Houston Rockets will be a good team. I just don't believe they did a whole lot in the off season. I believe they've always been a great team and I believe that they will win 55 games if Westbrook and Harden can work together as a duo and play well together. I think there is a huge chance for them to be as good as the Clippers or the Lakers and even better. Now I don't see them getting the first seed and I'm going to come out with an NBA standings predictions in the future but I do see them as a bold prediction tying for the second seed and to win 55 games in the Western Conference is very very good. Only one team got 55 games in the West last season and that was the Warriors with Steph, Clay, Dremont and Durand. The next team was the Denver Nuggets with 54. So the Rockets get 55 wins that is a huge win for them and I believe that they can either tie the Lakers or the Clippers as the second seed in the Western Conference. Number two Anthony Davis wins the MVP. Yeah I said it's a bold predictions video. There's a lot of guys that definitely have a chance to win the MVP. There's an unwritten rule in the MVP case where you generally have to be a top player in the top three seed of either conference. For example this season it was Giannis he was the first seed in his conference. Last season it was James Harden first seed and best record in his conference. The year before that it was Russell Westbrook and he is the only exception in around 30 years where you have an MVP outside of the top three and this was because he broke an NBA record by averaging a triple double for a whole year since Oscar Robertson in the 1960s which is why he got the MVP but generally it doesn't happen to any player who gets outside of a top three seed as you have to have an historical season which most players do not have unless they do something insane. This is a seeding of the past MVPs and it starts in 2014 as this is where the chart was made. The only player is Carm alone and MJ who had the third seed in 1988. If you look at the guys in the Eastern Conference Giannis is the guy that you think could have a definite chance to compete once again in the Eastern Conference and be a top three seed and most likely win it. But as this is a bold predictions video it gives me the impression that let's choose a top three seed because that is generally what happens in the NBA. A player in the top three seed will win the MVP. If you look by conference I believe the only player in the Eastern Conference that can win it is Giannis but if it's not Giannis who gets a back-to-back MVP very very limited chance of Joel Embiid because they are the 76ers who I believe will finish top three and outside of that I really don't know who else could win it that would finish top three in the Eastern Conference in the West it's a completely different story you've got Stefan Curry, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Anthony Davis, LeBron, James Yoakich, Paul George, Westbrook all these guys have a chance to win the MVP but you can only really choose someone who is going to finish as a top three seed in the Western Conference in my opinion. I believe it's going to be someone from either the Lakers, the Clippers, the Houston Rockets or the Utah Jazz as I believe that those are teams that have a chance to be the top three seed in the Western Conference and if we're being honest LeBron James will probably have a few more rest days this season as he's getting a little bit older and I believe that Kawhi Leonard will always have a little bit of rest management due to the injury that he sustained a few years ago and I don't think that Stefan Curry will be a top three seed and to be an MVP outside of the top three seed you have to have an extreme season and I believe that Stefan Curry will have an amazing season but I don't think it's going to be extreme like Russell Westbrook being the first player to average a triple double since Oscar Robertson I don't think he'll have that type of season and I believe to me if we're making a bold predictions video if Anthony Davis plays the majority of this season healthy which is obviously the big question and he is still the best big man in the league and the Lakers finish as the first or top three seed I believe he has a very strong chance to win the MVP as he's entering his prime playing with arguably the greatest facilitator that the league has seen at that small four position plus Rondo I believe Davis will be in the perfect position this season and if he can stay healthy has a great chance to win the MVP this season but that is a bold prediction after all because he is not my MVP candidate I still think that Yanis can go back to back. At number three and speaking of Yanis the Bucks once again do not make the finals for the second straight year even after having the best record in the league for back to back seasons which means that somebody else has to make the finals and I believe is the Philadelphia 76ers and the Bucks will not. Now it's not necessarily a bold prediction to say the 76ers will make the finals but I believe it's more bold than to say that the Bucks will make it as I believe that the Bucks will not make it for a second straight year and that is my third bold prediction. My fourth bold prediction is that the Angelo Russell averages 26 points per game with the Golden State Warriors before he gets traded. Now the Angelo Russell I'm not going to predict when he gets traded or if he gets traded I do believe that they probably won't keep him on a team with Steph and Kerry and Clay Thompson I just don't see that fit working out you're either gonna have to run Clay Thompson at the three or you're gonna have to trade the Angelo Russell in my opinion and I think there's a higher chance that they trade the Angelo Russell and get a better fit at the small forward position if they get Clay Thompson back and he's healthy and honestly I believe it's a very bold prediction to say that the Angelo Russell will average 26 points per game. Clay Thompson has never averaged over 22. Only a few players last season averaged 26 points per game or higher and those were Kevin Durant who averaged 26 with the Warriors, Kawhi Leonard who averaged 26.6, Booker who averaged 26.6 with literally nobody else on his team, Stefan Kawhi who averaged 27.3 and Bidu who averaged 27.5, Yannis who was the MVP who averaged 27.7, Paul George who averaged 28 and obviously Harden who averaged 36 points per game. I believe that is a bold prediction but I don't think it's out of this world. The Angelo Russell averaged 21 points last season so I believe if he can average one more three pointer and two more free throws he will average 26 points per game and I don't think it's out of this world but I do think it is a bold prediction because averaging 26 points per game is elite in the NBA. Those are the best scorers that the league has and at this point DeAngelo Russell is not that because he's behind Drew Holiday, Donchis, DeRozan, Aldridge, Randall, Thompson, Westbrook, Levine, Mitchell and I could keep going on but I believe he will take that next step offensively with the Golden State Warriors. Number five, Ben Simmons will hit a three-point shot. Okay, maybe not but honestly I think that this year he will actually start shooting three pointers and a bold prediction is that he shoots 35% of 103 point attempts per game which is actually very very bold now that I think of it because Kevin Durant and Bradley Bill both shot 35% this season and they are two of the league's best shooters so let me lower that actually to 32% which is still pretty high but it is a bold predictions video so let's just see if it happens it's just the bold predictions video guys you don't need to get all crazy on me at this point even if he just makes 1-3 at 25% the Philadelphia 76ers and the NBA world will probably go crazy but I believe that he will start shooting a little bit more this season and I think the 76ers need that so I believe if he has a hundred three-point shot attempts this season and he shoots around 33% I believe it's not out of this world but at the same time for a guy that really never shoots it is a pretty bold prediction at number six and this is bald Anthony Bennett will become a solo contributor and actually finds a proper roster spot in the NBA as we all know Anthony Bennett is one of the biggest bus in NBA history if not the biggest bus in NBA history he's been in and out of the league joining the Nets the Raptors and all these other teams but he's mainly played in the G League and in the last two seasons he's played with the G League team for the Arizona Suns and the Clippers of the NBA G League and he hasn't done a whole lot in the G League but he has shown signs of improvement obviously he's a bit more mature this time he's 26 years old which is reaching the prime of an NBA career but this is a different situation so for him to reach his prime well that is not something that he's going to look for he would just like to be on an NBA team having a few minutes and earning some solid cash because he really hasn't had any luck in the last few seasons but last season with the Clippers in the G League he averaged 25 games seven starts and he posted averages of 12.2 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 54.6 from the field and 45% from beyond the arc now 45% from beyond the arc is actually not bad for a big man at the powerful position not to mention he had a breakout game last season in 2018 November 30th where he erupted for 36 points shooting 12 for 13 from the field and 8 for 5 beyond the arc he also grabbed six rebounds during that game this is a guy that I believe will just grow into his own have a little bit more confidence and with the addition of Russell Westbrook joining the Houston Rockets it really means that a lot of people won't talk about Anthony Bennett as much because they're gonna be focused on how Westbrook and Harden play together and people will just forget about Anthony Bennett even being on the roster which probably will give him some peace of mind if he doesn't have the best game and I believe he will actually come back to the league and he will finish out his career in the NBA and not get waved not being a good player or even average but just being a guy that can finish out his career in the NBA at number seven the media and the people on social media will actually turn against Michael Jordan as the Hornets have one of the worst records in the league if not the worst record in the league for next season and people will start to blame Jordan for his continuous lack of building a team and his poor choice in hiring good staff to surround the Hornets we all know that MJ as an owner and as a general manager for the Wizards has been absolutely shocking drafting Kwame Brown not trading Kemba for an asset getting Rozier for a huge amount of money yes you can always blame the GM that Jordan hired but at the end of the day Jordan has made some very questionable moves and I believe that because the Hornets in my opinion will be the worst team in the NBA I believe a lot of the blame and a lot of media will turn on Jordan even though the NBA and the media loves Jordan I believe there'll be a little bit of a narrative change where everybody starts to realize that Jordan is actually making the NBA and the Hornets in a worse place but maybe I'm just saying this and maybe everybody will just continue to love MJ because that's how it's been ever since he entered the league but in my opinion I believe as a player he's the greatest as an owner and as a GM he's arguably the worst I have ever seen and I believe that because the Hornets will not be very good this season this is the season that everybody will look to MJ and be like what the hell are you doing at number eight Zion Williamson does not win the rookie of the year yes once again it is a bold predictions video who do I have winning the MVP and the rookie of the year I have Giannis and I have Zion Williamson but at the same time if this is a bold predictions video let's say somebody else first of all Zion Williamson has a higher chance to get an injury than any player in the 2019 NBA draft besides probably Taco Fall and Bowl Bowl but Zion Williamson's weight and health is going to be an issue throughout his playing career because playing under that amount of weight and being that athletic isn't a normal thing in saying that he's a freak so I don't put it past him the second thing is he's already on a team with talent Lonzo Bull, Brandon Ingram, JJ Redick, Drew Holiday these are guys that are going to take shots off Zion Williamson which means he will have less of a role than a guy like RJ Barrett on the New York Knicks who will have majority of the offense run through him as well as other players on that team but majority of it will be run through RJ Barrett which is why I'm saying that RJ as a bold prediction will win the rookie of the year

UCu3Ri8DI1RQLdVtU12uIp1Q	GenAI Panel Reaction with Howie Xu \| Supercloud 4	Howie Xu joins theCUBE hosts Dave vellante and John Furrier as the hosts discuss the outlook for GenAI startups as we continue our coverage of Supercloud 4	[ "SiliconANGLE Media Inc", "SiliconANGLE", "SiliconANGLE Inc", "theCUBE", "Wikibon", "John Furrier", "Dave Vellante" ]	2023-12-11T20:09:36	2024-02-05T08:41:59	811	vzPGv295BP0	Welcome back, everyone, to SuperCloud 4's episode four, JVAI, I'm John Roy, Dave Vellante. We've got, wrapping up day one, you've got two closing sessions. First, we're interviewing Howie Shue, Cube alumni. Now, Cube host, as of today, also senior executive at Palo Alto Networks, heading up the AI machine learning team over there. Howie, great to have you back, and congratulations on a great panel. Thank you. It's a lot of fun. It was really good. You were nervous, where you did great. You did a poll, you did some prep work, get all your ducks lined up. I did all the homework. You did your homework. The key is the guests, though, right? I mean, the guests, you did a great job asking the question, but having a great guest from Salesforce, Google, and Microsoft, that they're so articulate, and so technically oriented, but can talk in business terms, makes for a great panel. Yeah. So, well done. So, the panel we want to review real quick with you is AI, Enterprise AI, Hyper Reality, did a poll. You had VJ from Microsoft, laid out great commentary there. We had Warren from Google, and Jay Ash from Salesforce, all senior executives. Really interesting perspective. Enterprise sees great hope, but it's here. And we had Intel's executive just commenting like, one comment is like, why don't I give up my co-pilot? It's just, they didn't have co-pilot last year. So, what's your takeaway as looking at now, zooming out and looking at yourself in the panel, what was the big takeaway? Because you had some serious hitters there. Big names, a lot of projects, all legit AI going on and all those companies. So, zoom out a little bit, right? Everyone is asking, hey, this enterprise, software, adoption of the general AI, is that a hype or reality? What is the killer applications? Because we all talk about it, but how many are in production and then are there any killer applications? My one liner takeaway on this one question is, it's really about giving super power to everyone from all walks of life. That's actually pretty amazing, right? Because whether you are doing programmer, product manager, whatever the things you are doing, you are going to get super power and then do something fundamentally quite different on top of what you have been doing. Some of what you have been doing may be replaced by co-pilot, but you are suddenly actually empowered to do a lot more things. That is my one liner takeaway because it's not just the killer applications, it's actually giving super power to everyone. But that's what it was, the killer app was accessed for all, right? To drive productivity. It's interesting in tech and business schools, you hear terms like competitive strategy, competitive advantage. The word that I always love was disruptive enabler. And with the consumerization of AI, what's coming out of day one here, Dave, and how I would say is that you're seeing the consumerization of AI in the hands of people where they go, oh, magic, or I like this, I can feel the benefit, I can see some future, but how your point about that enablement, that's a disruptive enablement because the creativity, even Warren said it on the cute beer, he said he sees more creativity coming, more you say productivity, a room from Intel said knowledge workers. All the same language for enablement. This is like the, this is the key thing, the enablement, what will AI enable? And enablement not just for incrementally better, incrementally productivity, right? It's actually, think out of the box, step-function improvement, right? Something very different. I've been having conversations with some of my friends, they are the, whether the MLE, machine learning engineer, or data scientists in some big companies, right? The boundary between data scientists and then machine learning engineers are kind of getting, the boundary is getting blurry. So you need to rethink about. You don't need to have ADHDs on staff. I heard one of your comments on your panel is interesting. What would you give a bunch of PhD students or experts? Imagine having that capability, so that step-function change is interesting. I guess my next question is, where are we in your mind, okay? Enterprise always feel a little bit behind because there's so much to going on, data, governance, security, consumer, that starts just slinging code, trying to launch a company. Then you got the big hyperscalers with the cloud scale out there. How do you see the interplay between, say, the hot startup, you know, throwing the arrows at the big guys, trying to, David versus Goliath, the big whales, and then the, I won't say slow-moving enterprise, but traditionally slow-moving to implement. You know, look, you know, the technology is amazing, right? All of us have the consensus at this point. The question is, can we land this technology so that it can be, you know, useful at scale? And then, you know, people can consume that. I think there's still a long way to go on that one, right? You know, I think Warren mentioned that. We have all the pieces, but when you piece them together, you know, it takes a lot of effort. What I would have called it, I think some of the people, you know, at this super cloud, also mentioned that there is a last mile thing, right? You know, all the technology is good. How do you connect that technology with the data you have? You know, if I were to start a company, you know, tomorrow, I would have called it lastmile.ai. The domain name may be too expensive to get, right? Because, you know, fundamentally, there's still a last mile thing, right? You know, all the technology is good. You know, how do I actually attach my data with it, right? Is it easy, right? You know, sure, I have the fine tuning, I have the rag, you know, on the paper, but when you actually do it, there are a lot of details. And also your LinkedIn poll showed 63% said biggest shift but takes time. There were some skeptics, about 20% of the people said, oh, it's peak cycle. But so what is that last mile? What are those last mile? Is it data privacy? Is it data quality? So I did a two poll. You know, one is, you know, how big is the technology shift, right? The other one is, what are the number one challenge? It's actually all over the place. There's no one place, right? Well, the model can be better. We all know that, right? You know, less hallucination, you know, so on and so on. And then there is also a kind of a data side, right? Data could be data retrieval, right? The accuracy or that sort of thing. And then there is a compliance security, governance, right? So. All of the above. All of the above. All of the above. That's the last mile. So the last one mile is not just the one thing. It was the last mile of a number. We got to dig the trench. We have to get the cable. Hold on, hold on. I want to tee into this because Brotton Saha, this AWS VP was on our keynote. He was our opening presentation. You had Google, Microsoft. We had all the hyperscales here in SuperCloud 4, as well as the CTO of SaaS, an older company that has modernized their game. Then we had a panel of founders. I call them the senior founders. I won't say senior, I didn't call them that, but experienced founders. Piyush Sharma and Vikram Yoshi, one's a compute guy, one's a security guy. Both. Serial entrepreneur. Serial entrepreneur. You are an entrepreneur as well. And you know, you work for the big company. You think like one, you've been one. You've been an EIR at Greylock. So I have to ask you the question I asked those guys. As an experienced founder that's seen the cycles before, I'll see you're well articulated what you're looking at, killer app, infrastructure, game changing, step function. If you were going to start a company today, what would you, how would you do it? Like, I mean, obviously the cloud was great because you didn't have to provision any hardware to get going. So you're in the market quick. What's that feature of AI that makes it better now to do a startup? And what would you do? How would you execute? Not the idea, but like take us through the mindset. If you're going to start a company tomorrow, say take the cube and turn it into it. Right. So the mindset of us, right? There are a number of things, right? You know, we already talked about there are multiple last mile issues, right? I would say solving any one of them is a big deal, right? You know, big company will solve those problem, but you know, big company, it's harder for them to be super focused, they're super laser focused to solve one problem super well, right? So that's sort of the one thing. The other thing is, I think, you know, I mentioned this at a super cloud three, you know, the future of entrepreneur, they are facing a very different environment because of the power, because of the superpower they have, you know, we'll probably, we'll see a lot more solopreneur. Now by solopreneur, I do not mean single, I mean a lot less resources, right? We used to be kind of a 20 people, 30 people team. Today you should think about it, can you do this, you know, with five people? I was actually having lunch with a VJ, you know, today before the panel. And he mentioned that, hey, you know, anyone can start a GNAI project, you know, with real sort of a budget, right? A lifestyle business could pick one little thing in a vertical and be big, and own it. Yeah, my son is doing a GNAI project, he's in the middle school, and then he said, hey, daddy, can I get some budget from you? I said, sure. He's doing great. And I'm asking him, I said, how much? You know, he said, five dollars. Five dollars would give him a long way to do it. He's gonna be a great entrepreneur, you see funding. You often say this industry has solved complexity with complexity, because you think about the cloud, we talked about two pizza teams, right? Two pizza, and then that turned into what you just described as a 20 pizza team. Will the same thing happen here? Because we're saying, okay, you can start these companies for a lot less, right? Do you think that the complexity that we tend to add on to this business is gonna be similar in that we tend to modularize things, we tend to open source, you know, new projects, and it increases complexity? Do you think that will? But then at that point, you're talking about a very different problem, because you know, like any technology, right? Once that one technology becomes the mainstream, right? So I grew up at VMware, right, you know? Just a very small number of people get a first hypervisor out, right? But by the time, you know, I left VMware 10 years later, it was 15,000 people working on that hypervisor. Success. The reason is because then you have a partnership, integration this, you know, sales and the storyline. You're growing your market, yeah. But that's a very different problem. I think, you know, what we are talking about here is, you know, the superpower that Genevieve I brings to the table can do things that otherwise takes five people. Yeah, and I think that's the, my point about complexity, Dave, is that AI can reduce that. I think that's the key. My question on what you were saying earlier about models. Brad and Satya, also, and I talked about at Amazon, and your guests talked about as well, it's not just the models that are important. It's the end-to-end, and you say last mile, so I'm assuming that there's the beginning, middle, and end of the story. So you could have a great model, but if you're too focused on one model and Arun and Intel just said, why build a model that already exists, it means to an end. So my guest panelists actually all talk about this one thing, right? One is technology, the other one is how you look at it, the technology, right? VJ actually mentioned to me, you know, early today during my lunch, he said, hey, and everyone's talking about hallucination being a problem. Sure, it can be a problem sometimes, but look at a hallucination as a feature, right? You know, it's kind of a creativity. So this is, at that point, it's like how you work with the generative AI. You need to rethink about, you know, that it takes a different culture, a different mindset, a different way of thinking. So I was asking my panelists today about, hey, what is the, you know, it will take time. What sort of things will it take time, right? What is the technology built out? But the other thing is actually the way we think about how we are working with this technology will take time. It's not like everyone still thinks of the traditional way, right? Enterprise software. So I think that would take some time. You don't want hallucination, just keep it sober. Feed it data that you know is good, and keep your model clean. Howie, final word, what's your takeaway from SuperCloud 4 this year? If you look back at the conversations you had, how much is we're having here? What's your big takeaway? So this is the fourth episode of this, you know, SuperCloud, I remember a year ago, right? This is about cloud, not AI. And then in SuperCloud 2, you know, I was among one of the smaller people talking about AI, generative AI, right? Last episode, you know, I was more talking about security, but a lot more generative AI. I think at this time, right, you know, SuperCloud is about, you know, the generative AI. Can we just call it Super AI day and just kind of get over with it? Super power. Yes, so my takeaway is, you know, this thing is, you know, it's going to be real, and it's going to take time. And unlike the previous generation of the technology wave, it will still take time, but at a compressed timeframe. You're a wonderful contributor. Thank you so much for all the prep work that you did. Organizing the panel was fantastic. And if you need analyst's job, we got some openings for you. I know you got a nice gig over in Palo Alto. We have stock options too. Coins. Cube coins. Cube coins. Howey, great panel, you hosted again. Again, this is what we're going to do more of. Thank you for your contribution, folks watching. People bring their guests to the table, amazing guests, great content. All of SuperCloud's have been about data, and the data is changing now in generative AI. This is the next big thing. It's just early days. It's not even inning one. It's pre-gaining. There's a generational shift happening. It's all about data. It's all about scale and software. The superpowers will be there.

Watch the whole video to see who I pull/get and to see if I won all my games! ------------------------------------------------------- "NHL 23 Monopoly HUT is a hockey ultimate team series with a bit of a twist. Before every game I play I have to roll the dice and move spots on the board. Whatever I land on is what I have to do before the game or in game. There are a ton of packs to be opened and a ton of challenges. While doing this we try to build the best team possible from these packs and become a HUT Champion!"

Yo, what's going on Leaf Nation? It's Leaf for back again and welcome back to the channel today. We are starting off the Monopoly Hut series for the first time in NHL 23. We if you if you're new to the channel, you might not know what the series is. So let me quickly run through it for you. It's pretty simple. It's not too hard to to grasp. So looking here, we have the Monopoly Hut board like a regular Monopoly board just customized to NHL 23. So as you can see on the board, we got open one pack audience chess, which I need you guys to help me out with. If you guys have any rewards, challenges or punishments for me to do with my team in regards to the gameplay, let me know in the comment section down below. And then looking here, we got bankrupt by any card chance second chance. That's if we discard our best player. We have a second chance of bringing him back. We got missed a turn by any card bronze goalie pink slips, which I will explain if we ever land on it, roll again, more packs and more packs and and more packs. And then we have audience auction as well. If I land on that, you guys got a comment on the video. What player I should buy for next episode. So pretty self-explanatory pretty much before every game that I play in an episode. I got a roll of dice, whatever I land on, I got to do before the game or during the game, depending on what I land on. And that's about it. So like I said, pretty self-explanatory real quick before we roll a dice. I thought I'd show you my team and what X factor I got. So as you guys can see, I opened up the starter pack when starting my team this year. I'm having Monopoly Hut and my main account on one account this year instead of having a secondary account for Monopoly Hut. It's just all going to be combined into one. So this was our starter pack. The X factor we did get was Kyle Connor. We have him up to an 80 overall already was 500 coins to upgrade him this year. I'm just going to upgrade X factors as I please last year for forwards. If I scored a goal with him, they earned themselves an upgrade. And for defensemen, if they got an assist, I believe they earned an upgrade as well this year. Like I said, I'm just going to upgrade them when I want to upgrade them. So this is what the team's looking like. It's not great, man. We ended up pulling John Thavars in the starter pack, which is not bad. Again, Kyle Connor was our X factor, then a bunch of silvers. We got Kubel, we got Wayne Simmons. The defense is looking absolutely atrocious. And somehow Ben Bishop is still in the game. I don't know, but we got Ben Bishop in that. Goals are OP. So I'm interested to see how this is going to go with him. Six, seven, two, ten. We all know how Ben Bishop plays in game. I just don't know how he's going to play as a 74 overall. All right. So with that being said, it is time to roll a dice for the first time this episode for the year, actually. So let's see if we can get we're hoping for some good packs because the team looks like cheeks right now. Let's be honest with each other. So here we go. First roll of the year and we get a five. All right. So five is by any card with that being said, we technically have no coins I do have 12.8 K on the account. So I'm going to give myself a budget of one K for the video. We have 1000 coins spent on one card to help out this horrendous team. So Henry, Henry Borgstrom wouldn't be bad. He's a pretty speedy guy. Like there's not much I can get for one K coins right now, men. And right now I'm just looking at speed. Like we need people that can skate pretty much. So right now we're going to remember Henry Borgstrom. He's definitely the front runner to come onto the team. Maybe even this guy, Michael Corson, Corsone, he has worse face off. So I'd probably stick with Borgstrom right now. We got Noah Gregor in the leagues, better face off, better speed. Well, add him to the watch list just so I remember these cards. Jonas Don Skoe, I feel like I get him every year as well. But Jonas Don Skoe is a shout as well. 85 speed, 85 Excel would be pretty good to the right side. Another guy we're going to add to the watch list. Oh, OK, there's Trevor Moore, 86 speed, 86 Excel. He could skate, he has a good shot. Trevor Moore is definitely the front runner right now. Magician as well, which we are too often getting. So right now it's looking like Trevor Moore is the front runner. All right, Trevor Moore it is. Let's make sure we buy Trevor Moore and not there's your Lemieux here. So Trevor Moore, welcome to the team. First card we are purchasing of the year. So let's see how he does for us. It's only one player. I'm actually nervous to play with this team. All right, so we just slotted in Trevor Moore into the second line. It's looking better than it was before. We got Trevor Moore, David Lundquist and Kubell. And then the first line, I guess we can move Kubell and Simmons up one each. So really, the second line is Simmons, Lundquist, more first line being Kubell, Tavares, Connor. It's not a good team. Defense is looking super weak and our goal tending ain't looking great. I don't have high hopes for game one. So if we lose, like, don't be surprised. All right, so the one big change to hut this year is rivals is going to be different every week. So this week it's called hut rivals burst, which means it is a five five normal rival game mode, but it is two minutes in period length instead of four. So with that being said, I usually do two games in episode. But for this type of mode, I think we're going to go with three this time around. And next week we'll see how it is. But for this mode, we're going with three games in this episode. I'm pretty sure let's hop into the first one of the year. First game of the year, Victor Hedman, Steven Stamkos and an 86 show field. This is going to be interesting. Got a good team. He's got a good team. This shall be interesting here. I don't know how this is going to go, man. This guy's 27, 11 and three. Oh, my God, this guy's played a lot so far. Across bang, Kyle Conner opens up the scoring first goal of the year. We're up on nothing already. This is beautiful. Let's just try to keep it this way. I don't know how I'm going to pass over Trevor Moore in his debut. Oh, my God, nice try. Jordan Bennington was a big save on Wayne Sevens. Get the Trevor Moore. We had a little bit of an odd man rush. Oh, my God. No, no, Trevor Moore is hurt, bro. There's no shot. There's actually no shot. One of our better players is hurt already. This this is not good. This is not good, Chad. These were a man's short. Oh, that's a goal. Oh, my God, Ben Bishop. OK, bro. OK, at this rate, I'm not going to have a team to ice. And one, we were up on nothing. We're out. Time on attack in him. Shots are pretty even. He's winning by one. Trevor Moore is hurt. I'm sad. There you go, Johnny. Over across, Kyle Conner got robbed. Oh, my God. Over across. John Tavares make that a two to nothing hockey game. This first line is absolutely raking it in right now. We love it. End of two. It is to nothing. A goal, a period we will take shots or even, but we are a time out of attacking him. Time on attacking him like crazy out. Time on attacking him like crazy. English is just a great language. Can Simmons do a tow drag? He can. That could have been nice. Oh, out of front. There it is. What a save, dude. I don't know. I tried Manny Goaling. It's a good thing I didn't want to save. Guys, I think we just done it. We won our first game of the series two to nothing. Thought it was three to nothing. Ben Bishop with the shot out and we won a game with this team. I honestly cannot believe it. Getting close to bronze. So that's that's something there. We're in div three, got some hot champs points. That's good to know. Getting some coins for the series, which is nice. I will tally that to the total. Win rewards. We're four off of getting these rewards here to win two games in a row. Okay. And looking at the stats here, 11 shots. It was a 1143 time on attack to a 624. It was a deserved win to say the least. All right, our first game of the series was a W. We're right back to the board and we're hoping for some packs for the first time in the series. Let's roll the dice. All right, second roll of the episode. We landed on buying a card first time. So we're looking for some packs here. We get a one, which is open one gold pack. We got what we asked for. All right, so let's go open up one gold pack. First pack of the series. It's gonna be a premium pack because it was not a special pack. So honestly, all we're looking for here is some gold players to get rid of our silver players on our team, specifically defensemen, because I don't think we're winning another game with this team. Silver gold tender, not ideal. All right, so far, actually that's a gold. We will take that. That is good for our center core. Two centers, not too bad. Okay, can we get a rare gold maybe? That'd be nice. Something over a 75 would be nice. It's another center. We get three centermen's in this pack. Anything else? Nada, that one hurts a little bit. When we get three gold players that'll help the team out. I'll definitely take that. So after opening up that pack, the team's looking a little bit better. We got a pretty better center core, to be honest. Tavares, Dunn, Simpson, and Kluse. Those were the three players I pulled. I also pulled a 78 overall goalie. But after that performance Bishop just put on, he got a shot out. I'm gonna stick with him. We're gonna head into the second game of the episode just right off the bat. Team's not looking great. I don't think we're gonna win again, but let's see what happens. Okay, Jonathan Huberto, Hilary Knight, and Sarah Nurse. He's got a decent team. Definitely better than ours. So this should be another interesting one. We are caught. This isn't good. Cover pass. Oh no, we covered it and it went in off of us. Oh, that is so unfortunate. The first goal given up by Ben Bishop is an own goal. Off of our skate and in, we were covering that cross-seam pass and we're down 1-0. Just, you hate to see it. What a poke. Too bad we don't have fast players. What a move. Nah, he read that. I thought he was gonna try to come at me aggressively again. Simpson, a lot of save by Hellbuck, man. We are getting our chances. We are getting our chances. We're just running into a hot goal tender. End of one, we are down 1-0. We are getting outworked, that's for sure. This guy, I don't know. We're definitely feeling the effects of this team right now. Over cross. Oh my God. His AI was just in the right place at the right time. Kyle Conner, I shoulda took the shot. I shoulda took the shot. Shoot. All right, that was definitely a better period by us, man. We just can't score with a team like this right now. End of one, we brought it back that period. Look at the time in attack now. It's just, it's super hard to score with my team right now. It's unfortunate, but we're still in this game, which I like to see. Let's go, Kugel. Got a little bit of an all-matter rush here. Kyle Conner over to Tavaar is, we're not scoring this game. Conner Hellbuck is just on one. Let's go, Sons. Little twirly twirl. Another little twirl. Oh my God. Bro, that would have been actually nasty. Oh my God, how is he picking up these pucks over me? Unbelievable. I can't believe it. We're down to nothing. I feel like we should be up like two to one right now. It's so tough. Bro, that is two own goals this game. I can't believe the luck this kid has gotten. Unbelievable. Oh my goodness, dude. This game just wasn't meant to be one man at the end of the day. We ran into a hot goal tender. A couple of own goals. It is what it is, man. So really we made no progression on getting to bronze there. 150 points for that game. No goals, definitely hurt us. A couple extra coins into the bank so we have just under 1,000 coins I wanna say now. Probably no, yeah, about under 900. Looking at the stats here. It was a pretty even game. We just couldn't score on Connor Hellbook. It is what it is. We move on to the next game. All right, it is time to roll the dice for the last time this episode. We're one to one this episode. It'd be nice to end off with a win. But more importantly, let's get some more packs. All right, final roll of the episode. We're looking for more packs and we got a three. All right, so a three is open three gold packs. Yeah, all right, that's good for the team. We get three base packs to open or three premium packs to open. Last one we got what, four gold players. So we're hoping for the same out of this one here. What can we get? Michael Hutchinson. I really just wanna quick sell that card. I'm not even joking. I can't stand that guy. Michael Hutchinson, first card there. He won't make the team. We don't need gold tenders. Just a bunch of silvers. Jordan Gross, we finally get a good defenseman. It looks like he's somewhat speedy, 84 speed, 85 Excel. Not too bad. Ooh, Shay Weber, the newest Vegas Golden Knight. Sadly can't play hockey anymore, but that's another good defenseman. So two right-handed defensemen in this pack. Any other gold players left in here? No, but hey, we will take a Shay Weber and a Jordan Gross. So far, two defensemen, which we needed. Our defense is looking rough, so that's good. So more silvers that's definitely not gonna help us out. More silvers. We need some gold players here, yeah. All right, Ross Johnston, an enforcer. I mean, he'll crack the lineup because the team's obviously so bad. We'll take that. Michael Hutchinson again. I am legitimately getting trolled. This game, unbelievable. Okay, Jake Bean, that is a huge defenseman. Our first 80 plus overall in a pack. This card looks pretty good. He is a pretty good synergy and distributor. 86 speed, 86 XL, decent shot. Not too bad from Jake Bean, and that's about it. So Jake Bean and Johnston, not too bad. Not too bad. We're getting some good defensemen, so our decor is looking better. Two Michael Hutchinson, which is just a joke. It'd be funny if we pulled them again. We could pull William Trudeau, bunch of silvers once again. Anything going here. More silvers. 750 coins, which is good. Lump that onto our sum total. Victor Loden, another center. We can throw him onto the left wing because he's left-handed or in the right wing because he's left-handed, so that's good. Victor Loden, Luke Coonan. Not too bad as well, another centerman, but we'll probably throw him on the wing depending on his face off rating actually. 75 for him. And Loden has a 72, so it depends again. And that's probably it. Okay, another left defenseman. So our decor is looking good. Let's throw these guys onto the team. So after those changes, we ended up bringing in Luke Coonan to center Wayne Simmons and Trevor Moore. We then brought in Ross Johnston and Victor Loden to play with Justin Kluse. And then we got Mark Sipson now playing with Josh Dunn and Jake Coleman. And then on defense, it's looking better. We got Jordan Gross paired with Jake Bean. We got Kyle Capo Bianco. Not too bad actually. I think I nailed that. Playing with Shea Weber and then Holloway and Beutic. We do got better goal tenders, man, but I'm not playing Hutchison. We're sticking with Ben Bishop. We're heading into the next game. All right, game number three, Kaepersov, Panarin, and Hensley. He's got a good team. We're gonna try our hardest to win this one. I see McDavid on the ice. Is that, no, that's 97. I see 97, I automatically think it's McDavid. I don't think it is. Let's just get this win. Beautiful saucer over to Kyle Conner and we're getting robbed again. Oh my, okay, his goal is short, man. We gotta take advantage here. This is the goal. All off the post, Wayne Train almost had his first. That is so tough. Kyle Conner, down low, John Tavares over across and that's Kubell with his first of the series. It's one to nothing. Absolutely love it. Great power play goal. We finally scored after not scoring last game. And Kubell with his second of the night. What a pass from Tavares. That's his second assist of the night. We're up two to nothing early. This feels like a better game. The team's feeling good. All right, shorthand of goal given up by us. Gum passes by me. It's a one goal game. I got a smart and opera. I'm gonna lose this game. What a save, dude. No, they gave me the wrong player to control. Oh my God, it's two to just like that. End of three. This guy's definitely brought this game back, man. Obviously we were up to nothing. It's two to now. I'm not too worried. We win this in overtime. That could have been bad. Oh my God, I just missed the net. We dunk. I don't care. We take the win. I should have won this game 20 times over. We take it. It's a three to two victory in overtime. I dunked. I feel, I don't feel bad at all actually. We take that win. Let's go. So currently altogether we have 2,266 coins to spend if we land on any player. And looking at the stats here, we came out with the win. That's all that matters. Well guys, that is it for episode one of Monopoly Hut. We ended up going two in one. Getting some good players for the team. Obviously could be better. So we're hoping for some more packs next episode. But that is it for today's episode. Hopefully you guys did enjoy it. If you guys did, be sure to drop a like on it.

So today we gonna discuss about covering query and this is the solution of RID and key lookups. So if you haven't watched part 15 of this video series, so I would strongly recommend to watch that video where you can understand about the RID and key lookups. So link of this video will be available on the description of this video. So let's start with covering query. So what is covering query? So covering query one which can satisfy all requested columns in the query without performing a further lookup into the table as we seen in the last video. Like we have address table and in address table we have created a non-plaster index or city column and we want to get all the columns which is available on the table with the city. So it's required a additional lookup with the table to get other columns except city. So this is the issue with the RID lookup and key lookups as we have discussed in the last video. Here we can add in include in non-plaster index because those column will not be a key column for the index. So we can use the include those columns which we want to use in the selected statement and that would be the covering query. So cluster index will be our basic covering query. So as we can see over here, so this is the structure for non-plaster index. It's non-plaster index and below is cluster index. If we want to get data from the non-plaster index, if all the data is available on the non-plaster index, then there is no need to go to on the table which is our cluster index to get the data. So go to on Secoso management studio to see in practical. So how we can create the covering query and how we can reduce the performance. So here, so let me drop this table because in last video we have created this table. So we can execute and table has been dropped. Now let me execute this statement to create this table again. So here I just want to create a non-plaster index with the city and postal code. So we can execute and it's going to create a non-plaster index. That is fine. Now we can execute and this time I just want to get address ID, address line 1, address line 2, city and postal code. Because as we know city and postal code is available on the non-plaster index and other address ID and address line 1, address line 2 is available on the table only. So it would going to use a additional lookup that is our ID lookup because table doesn't have any cluster index right now. So before going to execute this query, let me enable the execution plan and now I want to execute this query. So here we are having only one record that is fine. So we have got one execution plan. In execution plan as we can see our ID lookup and it's going to take 89% of the cost. That is very high cost. So now how we can avoid this problem. So let me drop this index right now and this time I just want to create non-plaster index and in the include list as we can see this is the include list with the address ID, address line 1, address line 2. And here our key column that is city and postal code. So here this is very important because these two will be performed as an index but these three columns will not be part of the index but it would going to store the data on the non-plaster index. So let me execute. So index has been created successfully. Now I just want to execute this query to verify. So here now go to on execution plan and this time as we can see it's going to perform as indexing. And previously as we seen it's going to perform a additional lookup that is our ID lookup and that was taking 89% of the cost. That was very high cost. So we can use the include keyword and we can simply add those columns which is going to perform in the selected statement and not in the part of non-plaster index. So I hope you have understand about the covering query. So how we can avoid our ID lookup and bookmark lookup by using this covering query.

Today, I'm gonna lose my mind. I did last week and it's time to do it again this week because I just wanna ruin my weeks. Like, that's my goal. I'm doing something that seems difficult and I know it's going to be because I have experience with stuff like this. I'm about to follow Mackenzie Marie's highlighter hair color tutorial. I'm obviously gonna use Miss Maniquin today and give her sickening, hopefully, highlighter hair color, which I don't think it's gonna be sickening, but we'll see what happens. Last time I followed one of Mackenzie's videos was when I did Sharpie hair color and that one sucked and I pretty much poisoned myself with Sharpies. If you guys don't see me next week, it's because I died from inhaling too many toxic chemicals. By the way, don't try this at home. I may be risking my life today and my assistant's life because I'm not doing this by myself. Let's just do this and hopefully it turns out good because that will make my week instead of ruining it and that will be sickening if we could start the week on like a positive note for once. So let's do it. Let's color some hair with highlighters. So I obviously have to learn first how to do this. So why don't we just skip through Mackenzie's video and just quickly learn together how this all works. I just kind of like machete chopping. So I'm just gonna- Oh! Do that and- Okay. We're gonna need a machete. You go get it. I'm serious. Well, I'm just gonna get a machete so that I can actually do this video. And now she's dipping it in water. Shake it around a little bit until it turns white. Right. I've done this before. I decide and blow the ink into a separate glass. I'm gonna get so lightheaded. And that's how you extract the ink from the tube. Kind of disgusting. I know. For the sake of science, it is worth it. Why do I do these things to myself? I don't wanna do it. I don't wanna do this today. I mixed up the colors a little bit. Whoa. Really pretty color right here. That is bright. The color is not dark enough. It's not gonna leave any pigment in your hair. So the darker the dye, the more bright of your hair is gonna come out. Okay. She said the darker the dye, the more pigment to your hair is gonna come out. Yes. I'm aware of that. I'm just gonna start blowing these things into the glass. I'm gonna be here all day, probably blowing. I think this is enough dye. I have a hair dyeing bowl. I'm just gonna pour all of this into. We're pouring it into a mixing bowl. A lot of ink. Take some conditioner and I'm gonna fill this. That is so much ink. Just mix it up. There's literally green in my mouth. This just looks harder and harder every second I'm watching it. Kind of nasty, but it's okay. She got it to work. Now I'm going to make the yellow. So it's basically just the same process. Look at how bright. Dude, there's so much marker. Okay, so now she's applying it and it looks so beautiful. So bright. Oh my God. Dude. I want this to work for me. I want it to work so bad. I'm gonna leave this in my hair as long as I possibly can just because it is highlighter and I wanted to soak it in all of my hair. I'm gonna go watch it out and I'll let you guys see it, the finish result when I'm done. So she said she left it on as long as possible. I don't know what the hell that means. I don't know how long this will leave it on for. Directions are unclear. Oh, hi there. Didn't see you over my- Oh my God. Highlighter hair. Guys, I literally dyed my hair with highlighters. It's definitely really, really bright. It's not highlighter bright, which I was expecting a little more from that, but it looks dope and I'm ready to try it out. So let's grab this mini-quin and let's get some highlighters going and let's get highlighting. That's so dumb. Yeah, I have knife. I have sharpies. I have waters and I have empty cups and I'm scared because this knife looks really sharp. I don't think I want orange. Let's do pink. Pink never fails me. Oh, I did that too. I think this just kind of gets like the color out of like the bottom half so that you can actually like blow on it. I don't really know how long it's supposed to wait or what I'm doing, but we doing it. Yo, it's working. Okay. Okay, go me. Now all I have to do is, I guess mix this with conditioner, but I'm gonna do like a lot more of these. Guess what? I'm using this on camera. I need Emma to help me. I'm sure it'll take me at least 30 minutes to do and I'm sure I'll come back with a lot of frustration to share with you. Hope you look forward to that. I'll be right back. Okay, boom, that's f*ing suck. Emma's like literally about to cry. I'm sorry I made you do this. Plus we might have to go to the hospital for like food poisoners. I don't know what kind of poison you call this. Just regular poisoning, I guess. I highly recommend not doing this. That took so long. I think like an hour of our time to blow literally a million of these. I bought so many highlighters for this. It's expensive to do this, by the way. Some of them like really mixed up well. Like the pink looks beautiful, but then the green just won't not be chunky. Like it just wants to be chunky. I don't know what that's about. But I wanna lighten the green a little bit because I think it's just like really ugly. It's like forest green, which is like not ugly, I guess, but like, I don't know, it could be a lot more fun. So I'm gonna mix the green and the yellow. Okay, yeah, sure, totally. It's not mixing well. I mean, that looks bright. Woo, okay. And then we'll just use the yellow by itself. And then of course the pink because the pink looks dope and I'm excited about that one. So here are my three colors. This really ugly green that won't mix together, this yellow and this beautiful pink. I'm gonna do pink e-girl bangs, green on the top and yellow on the bottom of the back. If that didn't make sense, well, I don't give a f* because I'm just gonna do this because I don't wanna do this all day, which I'm gonna end up doing all day. I already know it guys because I've never done one of these things and not spent my entire existence finishing it. Hey girl, what's up? What are you looking to do to your color today? You wanna try out a new color line? Oh my God. I mean, I would totally let you try my own X-Mondo color but today I actually have another newer line of color. It's called Highlighters. You're gonna love it. It's my first time doing it, so hopefully it's all good. All right, let's do this. You're gonna love the colors. See how bright it is? It's a very conditioning formula actually. Yes, we flew this in from France for you to try. You're my first guest. We're gonna try out this brand new color together. Let me just tell you guys, this is gross. I mean, it looks really bright. However, I'm getting all over me because this color is so chunky. I do feel like this is gonna work. I'm feeling super optimistic today. This is the best these projects have gone in the beginning so I'm hopeful but hesitant on being too excited about it. But that is yellow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's working and I'm getting excited and I should stop getting excited because my dreams are gonna be crushed when I wash it out and it just doesn't do anything. Let's just get this front section on, shall we? This resembles what to you, Ms. Manny Quinn? This resembles highlighters. That's so funny. That's so weird and random. No, I didn't use highlighters. You're so funny. Like, of course this isn't highlighters. Why is it chunky? Girl, don't ask people why they're chunky. So far, so gross. And so far, I am seeing a lot of color payoff. I just don't feel like it's gonna last. Also, what the f*** Mackenzie? Like, you literally didn't tell me how long you let it stay for. So how is the brother gonna know? There's like cottage cheese. I'm sorry, Ms. Manny Quinn. Forgive me for covering your face in cottage cheese yellowness. My entire floor is covered. My entire arm is covered. Love my job. However, could do without the mess. I could do without that part. Boom, I mean, that looks better than Mackenzie's. I'm not gonna lie. I'm just curious if this is gonna actually come out the way it looks right now. Highly doubtful. Let's go with my chunkier cottage cheese concoction of a color. Should I do half of her head blue, green, what? And then half pink? I don't think I have enough color. I'm not mixing more. I'm sorry, guys, I'm not doing it today. Don't make me. Why am I like this? I was supposed to do the front pink, but my mind went yellow, so I did yellow. Why am I like this? Now what am I gonna do? I can't do an ombre with green and pink. It's gonna look ugly. I'm gonna do half of her head pink and half of her head green. So what's gonna happen today? Just paint in the head with some highlighters. Yes I am, oh yes I am, oh yes I am. This is also really bright. I don't know, dude. I'm just gonna get it on there. So far the experience has been a little bit better than the Sharpie one, I have to say. If you had to choose between the two, as of right now I'd probably say this is better. Like a little bit easier to use, not by a lot. And now we're just gonna comb it all through because I ran out of color. It's actually looking really good. And the best part of all is that I haven't quite lost my mind yet. So it's actually been quite easy. Besides the mixing part, it actually looks really good. And I went to the hospital, she's back now. Did you tell them all the blowing that I had to do? Yeah. It was so intense. My jaw is still recovering. I'm not gonna lie you guys, all the chunkiness kind of went away. I don't know how, but I'm not gonna question it. And just like that guys, we've made it to the pink side. Just gonna do the same thing. Just gonna apply this on there. And this one guys is the most beautiful mixture. Wait this is really gorgeous. What? What the hell? Why is this so pretty? I'm mad, but also really happy. So they're gonna be the day that this works out, like one of these projects. You guys, this color is going on so beautifully. It almost feels like it's real hair color. Just don't understand what was the difference. Like Emily and I did the exact same thing for all the colors. And for some reason, the pink was just like the only one that cooperated perfectly. I don't know what that was. And it actually smells white nice. I love toxins. Whoa dude, that was the fastest application of color. I think I've done it in a while and it looks stunning. These are definitely neon. I mean, I wonder if it's gonna come up brighter than McKenzie's. It looks like a little bit brighter than hers, I think. Dude, this is fun. I'm excited. I guess I'm just gonna let this process for like an hour. This looks sick. That was actually not that painful. And I'm optimistic for the results. I'm excited to see what happens. I guess I'm just gonna rinse this off and blow dry it and style it. And I'll show you guys the finished result. Hey guys, didn't quite go as planned. Just like last time it actually came out like, this is it. I mean, she looks gorgeous. Like don't get me wrong. Like, whoa, hello, gorgeous. But as you can see, the only thing that took was the pink. The pink looks amazing. It's beautiful. It's vibrant. It's shiny. She looks amazing. Where's the yellow? Where's the green? It does look in real life like it tinted the hair just a tiny bit. But other than that, the only thing that showed up was the pink. I would say I'm surprised. However, I'm not because this is exactly, well, no, the Sharpies work better for sure. But every time I try to use something that's not color to do color, it doesn't work correctly. And that's no surprise because you should just use color. It's a lot less work and it's actually a lot less expensive, believe it or not. Then buying how many packs? Like six packs of Sharpies and wasting like $80 worth of conditioner. And also almost breaking my jaw. Breaking your jaw. A hospital visit. A hospital visit. It was a lot. You have toxin poisoning from all the highlighter. I mean, was it worth it? No. No. I'm so sorry, Gwendolyn. It's not looking good. Thank you for trying out the new color today though, the highlighter color method. I didn't work well. You can come back tomorrow for a redo, okay? All right, I'll see you later. It was bad. Moral of the story is don't use highlighters to color your hair. Just use regular neon color, I guess. Even like really cheap color. That's not that great. We'll do a better job than that. You know, it could have been user error. I don't know how Mackenzie's hair came out that vibrant. I really don't get it. I'm skeptical about that. I don't understand. Emma and I were talking behind the scenes, being like, what did we do wrong? We literally did everything step by step and tried to do it perfectly. It just didn't come out right. Well, you guys, there you have it. Highlighter hair color. Don't do it ever. Make sure you guys follow me everywhere else. Here are all my social media handles. Go for it. Wow, everywhere. Make sure you guys text me. Yes, this is really a number of mine. Yes, I really do be texting back. And yes, I really will be texting a few of you if you text me right now. Make sure you guys check out my color line if you want color that looks a lot better than this today at xmondocolor.com. You can also check out my haircare brand, xmondohair and xmondohair.com. And also find us on Instagram at xmondocolor and xmondohair. If you guys aren't already subscribed, well, there's literally a button right below me that says subscribe. You can totally press that. That'd be dope. Press the like button and the bell icon if you wanna be notified whenever I post a new video. Thank you very much. Today's Instagram shout out goes to Ashley. She says, hey, bro, I was wondering if I could pull off blue hair. Ashley, 100,000% you could pull off blue hair. It would make your blue eyes look so blue. I don't know, I think it just enhanced your look. Make it look so fun and cool and I would love to see it if you end up giving it a try. That's all for today, guys. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to live your extra life and I'll see you next time. Bye, guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzX1RsnOJQE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UClVfsHNDfmTe66tzYyNFwBQ	Deliver Impact With Empathy By Joy Montello (@vitagioiosa) At Agile India 2017	n his November 2016 New Yorker article, Om Malik calls out the Silicon Valley juggernauts as a warning to all of us: “The lack of empathy in technology design isn’t because the people who write algorithms are heartless but perhaps because they lack the texture of reality outside the technology bubble."[1] But the onus isn't just on the juggernauts of this era but on every one of us to understand and put into practice what empathy is - without it, we will fail to impact our products, our consumers and ultimately a world full of human lives with the potential we could. Because every product, platform, service or offering will end with the consumer, empathy is the first crucial step in the development lifeline to delivering impact. Failing to recognize actual humanity as central to what we do is an easy (and hidden) trap. We are surrounded by data and by technology and the temptation to forego the non-personable aspects that define people, the beings for which the ‘thing’ is being created, in favor of relying on our data and technology, is veiled as logical. In this session, we will explore empathy as a concept, talk about why and where it belongs in the technology and product design space and how to help your teams develop and keep this skill central. [1] http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/silicon-valley-has-an-empathy-vacuum More details: https://confengine.com/agile-india-2017/proposal/3537/deliver-impact-with-empathy Conference details: http://2017.agileindia.org/	[ "Agile", "Agile-India", "Agile-India-2017", "Joy-Montello", "Lean-Product-Discovery" ]	2017-04-08T09:30:24	2024-02-05T20:57:13	1,938	Vznkj-3VDGo	who was called Deliver Impact with Empathy, but I've actually changed the name to make it a little bit more accurate. I've worked on a theory and I think actually the purpose or the intent of what I wanna share with you today is that our goal should actually be to deliver impact because of empathy and so that's what I wanna talk about with you today. And I'm gonna actually stay behind the podium for two reasons. One, I have this terrible cold that my children were generous enough to share with me. So I'm gonna probably reference my notes more than I would like and two, the clicker doesn't work so I'm gonna be clicking for my Mac. So 16 years ago, the Agile Manifesto was written out of a desire or a need for an alternative to documentation-driven, heavyweight software development processes. I like to think that at the heart of that movement was a desire to deliver more impact, better customer value, actual customer value. How's it going? How have we done? Well, if it's any indication, in the last 12 months, I've been seeing things like this pop across my LinkedIn feed. Now, missing from those pictures, I'll accept the middle one is the customer. And the middle one actually only has the customer depicted in one or two small places. How can we actually deliver better customer impact if we're not even including the customer in what I would call pretty heavyweight processes that we're developing? Don't get me wrong, it's an easy and tempting trap to fall into, right? We wanna identify a delivery process that we think is going to help us deliver on time, then we architect all of the steps that we think will help us get there and then we tell teams what they need to do to follow all of those steps. As I mentioned, I work at Target and we've been on our Agile journey for about four or five years. And there were definitely parts of the organization as we were on that journey where we mistook Agile methodology as just a replacement for project management methodology in several areas. Currently, I work across our data science, business intelligence, and engineering team of about 800 people. And about eight months ago, I realized something that was a little bit hard to say out loud and is pretty strongly worded. Delivery without empathy is basically useless. And I chose the word empathy because I wanted to convey to people the need for us to get inside of the worlds in the shoes and the experiences of our users to understand and share their pain in a very real way before we started answering questions and providing solutions. But what was interesting as I started to share this idea and theory and socialize it with teams and people, was that people didn't actually know what empathy was. And they either asked what it was, didn't say anything at all, or confused it with sympathy, which is quite different from empathy. I really like what Breine Brown has to say about the difference between empathy and sympathy. Brown is a researcher who digs deep on some stuff you might consider a little bit emotional, but because she uses data to back up what she says, I think she's pretty respectable. So I wanna share this short video with you from her. So what is empathy and why is it very different than sympathy? Empathy fuels connection, sympathy drives disconnection. Empathy, it's very interesting. Teresa Wiseman is a nursing scholar who studied professions, very diverse professions where empathy is relevant and came up with four qualities of empathy. Perspective taking, the ability to take the perspective of another person or recognize their perspective as their truth, staying out of judgment, not easy when you enjoy it as much as most of us do. Recognizing emotion in other people and then communicating that. Empathy is feeling with people. And to me, I always think of empathy as this kind of sacred space when someone's kind of in a deep hole and they shout out from the bottom and they say, I'm stuck, it's dark, I'm overwhelmed. And then we look and we say, hey, I'm down. I know what it's like down here. And you're not alone. Sympathy is, ooh, it's bad, uh-huh. Uh, no, you wanna sandwich? Um, empathy is a choice and it's a vulnerable choice because in order to connect with you, I have to connect with something in myself that knows that feeling. Rarely, if ever, does an empathic response begin. What Brown basically says is that the difference between empathy and sympathy, which aligns to what Webster says, is that it's okay, we're done with the video. The difference between empathy and sympathy is that empathy is actually sharing in the feelings and the pain of another person, not just understanding it. And sympathy is kind of stepping back and being like, hey, what's up, wanna sandwich? And so in the last year, as we kind of explored this concept of empathy, we started to study different products, products that were successful and products that were failures. And as we did this research, I came across this product, this little gem, which was kind of stuck with me, partly because it's somewhat comical, but also because it actually led me to an analogy that was pretty powerful and pretty simple that related to a separate product. And so I wanna take you on this journey with me. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, gasoline-powered automobiles were just coming on the scene in the United States. Well, from where we sit today, it's pretty hard to imagine life without cars. But at the time, the shift was pretty disruptive and a huge change for everybody then, especially the historic mode of transportation, horses, which were still largely present on the scene at the time. So in the normal course of travel, when these cars and horses would have to pass each other on the streets, the result was this panic-inducing event that led to freaked out horses that actually endangered lives. So in 1899, Uriah Smith came up with a solution for it. Our friend, Horsey Horseless, designed a car that looks like a horse, but is actually a car. His thinking fooled the horses into thinking the cars were also horses, but were actually cars. Therefore, the horses wouldn't get freaked out and everybody's lives would be saved. Needless to say, his idea didn't work. In fact, in all the research I did, despite the fact that he filed a patent, I couldn't find any evidence anywhere that Horsey Horseless was ever actually manufactured. And to add insult to injury, Time Magazine actually rated Horsey Horseless as number one of the 50 worst cars of all time, due in part to the fact that the wooden horse head was also intended to serve as storage for the gasoline, literally adding fuel to a potential fire. But what is interesting is that the designer of this product, Uriah Smith, actually filed five separate patents at least in his lifetime. One for our friend, Horsey Horseless, but another, and perhaps the most significant, was for improvements to artificial limbs, which he filed in 1863, after 20 years of personal experience of wearing an artificial leg after losing his own leg at the age of 12. The improvements Smith made to the leg were things like making the knee fully extendable, allowing the ankle to relax when not in use, making the leg lighter and more durable. All changes that actually intended to make the wearer of the artificial limb experience something that was more comfortable and actually more affordable over the course of the life of the artificial limb. And what I found really powerful about this story was that Smith was able to deliver something of value to the market because of how he started. You see, Smith actually literally started in the shoes of the user. And because he understood the pain and the needs and the gaps of the current offerings firsthand, he was able to deliver a meaningful and effective solution to the market based on his actual experience. And what I found in my research was that successful businesses and products started and continued the same way with an in the shoes focus on the user. Let's look at a few examples. There's Apple in the iPod. Before the iPod came on the scene in 2001, all of the portable music players and the market at the time were in the words of Steve Jobs, crap. They forced users to choose between two things. Have something that is physically sized the way you'd like to or something that can hold the amount of music that you would like. Neither option says you would like to choose between. And so the iPod, which was born out of a focus on usability and user experience has actually since then transformed the way that we can listen to and share music on the go. Drybar, Drybar is a salon that's currently in the United States. And all it does is wash, dry and style their customer's hair. Drybar started with Alli Webb, who's the woman in the middle. Alli Webb was a stylist, then a publicist and then a stay-at-home mom. When she was ready to return to the workforce, she identified a hypothesis about what women might be willing to pay for. She tested out her experiment or her hypothesis and then she identified two people that she thought might be willing to go in on this venture with her after she was able to prove out that it was potentially profitable. You'll notice they're both bald, by the way. Her husband and her brother. Drybar today has 70 locations in the US. They have their own product line and they're expanding internationally. If you want to know what empathy is, it's two bald men making a hair salon successful. And finally, Richard Branson. Branson has started and or founded 400 different companies. They range from all kinds of things. A magazine, to an airline, to a record label, to a record business and even a bridal business. I recently listened to an interview with Branson and the interviewer asked Branson how he was able to scale across the number of businesses and differences that he has. And Branson actually said it's easy. Anybody could do it. A business is just an idea that's going to make people's lives better. You see, Branson is insistent that businesses are meant to help people and he's dead focused on helping individuals. That's empathy. He starts with what people need and then goes from there. In each of these examples, I think these people all exemplify a couple of key qualities that Brown talked about in her video that you weren't able to hear. One, the ability to take the perspective of the user as exemplified by the two bald co-founders in Drybar who are able to take the perspective of their hairy headed partners in crime at all of their customers at the Drybar locations. And the ability to stay out of judgment as in the case of Branson. You never hear Branson take credit for his business success by saying that he knew what customers should have and tried to convince them that he had a better idea. In fact, Branson is very, very insistent that no matter how wonderful your idea is, if your customers don't find it meaningful, it's basically worthless. We were at a conference last year and somebody said that those with an IT mindset exist to serve the perceived needs of the business. But those with a product mindset exist to serve the needs of actual users. This is the difference that empathy brings us. It allows us to cross from just perceived needs of humans into understanding the pain in the worlds in the context of actual humans and then delivering solutions and answers that are actually meaningful as a result. To do this at Target, we have a number of tools and techniques we apply that are probably things that you all do or have already heard of. We watch people in their actual work environments. We go work alongside of them sometimes in our stores. We do customer interviews. We do story mapping. But in the last three to six months, we've made a pretty significant shift in our organization. We've started measuring customer outcomes and we've started measuring for customer value and happiness. You see what we've learned is that businesses that are successful and products that are successful are successful because they stay relevant. And they're able to do this not just because they're nimble enough to respond to their customers changing needs and wants, but because they have quantitative tools and feedback loops and mechanisms in place to understand what's still effective and what isn't. And when they see that something isn't effective, they take the next step to ask why. They start to explore what isn't working and why it's not working. They start to understand and experience the world and what's changing to understand what features need to go away and what features need to be added, what product needs to be built and what product is no longer relevant. To do this with our teams, which we've gold by the way, we have 140 teams in our data science, B.I. and engineering organization. All of those teams have been gold. They have customer value and happiness metrics in place by the end of the fiscal year. And this is a hard, hard muscle to develop, but we're working really hard to do it because it's so important. So we start with Dave McClure's pirate metrics, but we've made some changes. This funnel, if you haven't seen it before, is really powerful and effective. I think it was initially built for startups or for applications. Jeff Patton talks about it if you're familiar with Patton. He uses it as well. We've made some changes to make it more relevant for our business intelligence and data science teams. And this is how we talk about it with those teams as they look to measure. So on the beginning and in the way this funnel works is on the left hand side is sort of when your tool or your usage is starting and as you move further to the right, the idea is that your tool or usage is actually maturing. If you're looking at an application, you actually want to get to the point where you're making money from it, right? Now, when your usage is inside of the organization, your business is probably never going to pay you for the business intelligence tool or data science engine that you're providing them. But if you're doing it right, your business should be more profitable and that's where we want to get. And so what we've started to do is to ask people to start measuring usage on the left hand side of their tools, reports or answers, anything that they're providing. Then as they slide along right they start, we've asked them to start looking at things like depth of engagement and session time. Again, that's something that varies based on the tool and where the tool is at in its maturity. Session time should either be long or very short depending how users should be using it and how they should be interacting with it. And then retention. This is another metric that's a little bit tricky, right? And so one of the things we look at right now are asking teams to start thinking about is how many users do you have coming back for a second time, a third time? And what does that usage look like on a repeat basis and what should it be looking like if your tool or your product or whatever it is is providing value? And then referral. I wanna talk a little bit about this. A lot of people talk about net promoter score as being really effective. And I dug in on this a little bit. So there's lots of good reasons to use net promoter score. Net promoter score is a question that sounds like this on a scale of one to 10. How likely would you be to tell a friend to use this product? But what's interesting is that it's not actually a great way to talk about the likelihood of a business to succeed. Because if I use something and I think it's really crappy, I might still say, well, it wasn't good for me, but it might be good for Chris or Sean, right? And so I might rate that a seven out of 10, even though for me, I would probably give it a two. And so what I actually suggest teams do is measure for customer happiness instead. And a customer happiness metric sounds more like this. On a scale of one to 10 or one to three, how likely would you be to make the same decision again if you had to make that decision again? Now I've changed the paradigm of that question to be how useful was it for you in your context? And I'm actually getting really direct responses to something that will actually indicate how successful my business is or how successful my product is. So that's what we're actually asking teams to do. One team, and there's all this really interesting research out there and I think we would all attest to this, right? Like people have survey fatigue, so don't send a million surveys out to your users. One of the ways teams have started to collect data for customer happiness is when they do their regular demos, they survey for customer happiness at the end of their demo. And they've created a really quick tool we use Smart Cheetah Time and there's a great survey application in there. And so people open their laptops, they have a three-question survey while they're all sitting in the room after watching the demo. They fill out those quick questions and they've got their feedback right there once a month or once every two weeks. However, often they demo. So it's a really great way to do that quickly. There's other lots of really great ways you can have a pop-up on the screen, all kinds of things. Yeah? Yeah, that's a great question. That's always an issue around surveys, right? And so that's something I actually talked to teams about. And so what I love to see, we talk a lot about, have you guys ever seen the quadrant of metrics? Speed, value, quality and happiness? Another company came up with it and I sort of stolen it and made some adjustments as I talked to teams. Something that's really important with measurement is that you're always measuring on a balanced way because if you measure, whatever you measure, you're gonna change the behavior of your organization, right? And so if you measure, for example, only for speed, quality often goes down. If you're not watching both of those things simultaneously. And so with happiness, when you're just getting quantitative data like that, right, just opinion, you often get people who are really angry that are willing to respond. The same respondents over and over, you often don't know what the sample is that's responding. So we have a very lean operations team and we wanna understand how to be more effective with our organization. We have to send out these surveys to 800 people and we don't know what part of the organization we're sitting in. So it makes that method really ineffective. And so I know you asked about net promoter score. I'm actually not really a fan of net promoter score and so I never advise people to use it for the reasons I just listed. And I actually get a little bit nervous about customer happiness. I think it's better to talk about customer happiness in an actual conversation. Where I direct teams to spend their time first is on value and that's actually, I think on the very far right hand in revenue. And value you can get to, value doesn't always need to be equated to dollars. But one of the things we're experimenting with right now is trying to correlate the decision that somebody makes that comes out of a tool or out of a report to a change in like an actual quality of decision. So running a regression analysis for people who use a tool to the quality of the decision and impact what's happening in our stores. And again, we're just starting to experiment with this. So putting clusters of things together to say, okay, these are the users using the tool, these are the users aren't. If we put clusters of things together and then run these regressions, what can we see happening as a result of people making their decision using this tool versus not using this tool? And there's lots of nuances like it starts to get very difficult to do that. But there's other measures of value, right? Value isn't just about an increase in profit or a decrease in costs. There's other things like what does the user have to do next? When they leave your tool, do they have to go somewhere else to find a second answer? And I, again, I'm coming from a business intelligence perspective, so this may or may not be relevant for you. But that's something else to watch. And if you have tools that are internal, you have the freedom to build some of the stuff in to see kind of your user behavior afterwards that allows you to get into some of those things. Yeah, customer happiness. Yeah, and here's an example. So there's a car, I can't remember the name of what it does, but they do a survey basically against all the car brands in the US to say, hey, for customer happiness, how did car brands perform in all the car brands of the US? And I think there's like 50 car brands. And Tesla is actually number one. And what they say, this, I wish I could remember the name of it, the question they ask is, if you had to buy a car all over again, how likely would you be to make the same decision? And owners of Tesla's always say they would buy the same exact car again or same exact brand again. And the reason it's really effective is it shows that Tesla understands what their users want or need, right? And so our goal as in the product design or data tool design or whatever it is that we're doing is to understand what our users want or need. I actually read a story, I don't know maybe over the weekend about McDonald's, actually getting out of the health food business and getting back into the hamburger business because they've seen actually a huge drop in profits trying to chase an industry that they just don't understand. And like being a health food eater, I would complete, I also like hamburgers, but being a health food eater, I would agree, like I don't go to McDonald's to get a salad, they sort of suck, right? Like I'm gonna go to McDonald's to get something else. And so I think it speaks to the power of understanding our users in a real way, like for McDonald's, why do you go to McDonald's to get a fast meal? You probably aren't super nutrition conscious, right? You're going to McDonald's for a whole different reason. Maybe you've had a crappy day at work. I can look at seasons in my life when I spent more times in the McDonald's drive-thru than others, right? So what kinds of questions are there? Are there other questions? Yeah. Yeah, that's a great question. I'm gonna talk about that a little bit more in our, hopefully if I have time tomorrow in my session, but we actually have a team that built out a dashboard for our buyers at Target, which is a huge part of our organization. And one of the things that they did is they took, they have to actually take a whole bunch of tools and they're putting them in one of our dashboards and they sit with their buyer kind of pilot group and they build it out and they say, hey, tell me how you interacted with this in the last couple of weeks, what questions did you ask, what was useful, what wasn't? And then the buyers say things like, this is too overwhelming, there's too many, this was their initial session, there's too many features in here, like these are the only things I want. And this initial session, the developers who wrote the tool were like, really? Wow, and so they went back and made changes and they developed this iterative approach now where every two to four weeks they get back together with the developers, they get that feedback and then they make changes. Sometimes on the fly in the room with them and sometimes they go back and make changes depending how real they are. And again, like this is really new for us, actually measuring value, especially as we get all the way down to the right where we're trying to correlate it to actual quality of business decision. This is a new way for us to think, but it's really important. But some of these other things, like if you talk about return users, that's something we've started talking about with our products especially. If you have people that come into your product only once or twice and they don't come back again, it's a red flag and you need to start asking people why. What sucks about it? Is the algorithm that you have driving your search results, for example, not providing something that's relevant? Start doing some research and asking people why and then prioritizing your features differently. Prioritize your work based on your feedback about what's going to drive usability and value for your customers. Does that answer the question? What perspective are you on? What makes feeding for the customers happy? But how do you think the process is going to, the why is off, you know. Yeah. Why a particular customer wants, has to be off the table for a long time. So, I mean that is about the empathy kind of answer to the picture, right? So yeah, that's a great question. And so, and that's one of the things I wanted to call out. So these really do just provide numbers. When your numbers are low, that's how you know where to spend your time to ask why. Because at the end of the day, we don't have the time we would want to spend with everybody. We have to prioritize who we're gonna ask and what features we're gonna ask about. Otherwise, like our product owners are largely visionary. That's why they're product owners, right? But, and because they're great at being visionary, they're thinking about the next great feature to build. But what they have to start understanding is what features aren't providing the value they would expect. And so when they've got numbers, they can start digging into those features and having the conversations. And so, I think it's a great call out. And it's something like, you can't just have the data. You have to be having conversations. You have to have a group of actual users that you're circling back and talking to. Yeah, so here's what's interesting. And you're doing that in person, you're collecting the feedback. And is that like you're going to their desks or how are you collecting the feedback? Yeah. So, I don't know you. I'm pretty direct, right? But if I asked you like, hey, do I look fat in this outfit? Are you going to tell me the truth? Right? Probably not. My husband also won't, by the way, because he's a smart man. And so like what I'm getting to there is that your users probably aren't going to tell you the things that are hard to articulate unless they feel incredibly comfortable or unless they're like me where I'm just going to tell you like, yeah, you look fat, you should go change. And so what things like a survey do if you can do it effectively and if you have people that are willing to do it, it allows them an anonymous voice to say things that they're afraid to say out loud. What things like quantifying usage by looking at some of these number allows you to do is have data that backs up what's actually happening inside of the tool that people might not be actually telling you. So hard truths, right? If you have a shirt in the example that I just gave you, if I have a shirt that I think looks amazing on me, but it just doesn't sell, I need to start asking why. Maybe because it looks fat, makes everybody look fat. Yeah. Yeah. The four of a line words sympathy. I think that the video was showing an example of a lack of sympathy because sympathy is really the genuine feeling of compassion and sorrow for someone else's suffering. So I like the different, we can talk about different things, connections. And I agree with that, but I kind of think that's really a redefinition towards it. That's a good call out. And I think like where I'm really trying to go is that it's not enough just to feel bad for people, it requires us to actually get inside of their worlds. Right? Yeah. Yeah. A process which often is out of the question. Yeah. Yeah. Balance being, getting out of more things than I was creating. Yeah. So that this, I think we all need to use it as well as... Yeah. So I think it's a great question actually. Steve Jobs talks about this a little bit in his, the biography that Walter Isaacson talked about a little bit. Henry Ford is credited with a quote that he actually never said, which is that if he asked people what they would want, they actually would say faster horses. He never said it, but I think it's a great quote. And Steve Jobs also says it in his biography, which is a terrible. And because I'm so like data driven, I had to find out if he actually said it, which there's no evidence that he did. But I think the difference for us there is understanding what's the actual need versus what's the solution the user would point to. So how can we dig deeper to understand the need or the pain the user has instead of asking the user for the solution? I used to work in business intelligence and with business intelligence teams really closely. And what I would say to the team is you need to start thinking about what the next question the business user is going to have after they have the answer to this one. Because that's really where the operations team needs to go next. But they're not able to think of it because they're so heavily invested in operations. And so where that goes with solutions, right? If Henry Ford's false example, the question is what would help you get to work faster? People would say faster horses. As a development team, our job is to take what the users are saying as the solution and kind of break that apart into what they're saying the problem is. Is that making sense at all? I'm not seeing that it makes a ton of sense. So I think it comes down to how are we approaching customers as we're starting to understand. I think it comes down to seeking to understand their world from a way that we're able to understand their problem. And then we have the ability to bring innovation and technical solutions to the table once we understand the problem, right? And so if we can see problems in the world today, I think that we can start thinking about solutions and we can start to see what's the trajectory. If this problem continues this way, what's the trajectory of what that's gonna look like in a year, in two years, or in three years? How can I innovate to provide solutions that will provide not just for this problem today but in two years, three years, et cetera? And then we can continue to iterate on so we can design a skinny experiment, test that out, see if it's true and continue on. Is that helpful? Any other questions? Okay, thank you. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vznkj-3VDGo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I thought it might be interesting to find out why this system is named after the Falcon, which is a bird. I checked the information on Falcon and the description of the Falcon that I came across, I could hardly believe how accurate the description is in the light of what the Falcon Eye System is. The description is as follows, and I'll read what that is here in a moment. It is, if Falcon is described as a consummate hunter of the avian world, they are able to spot, to chase and kill prey, quietly and efficiently, and human beings have relied on them for many years as effective hunting partners. So this is the whole point of this project, a facility that has the capacity to spot, to chase and enter big maritime criminals, quietly and efficiently, and of course assisting the navies and other agencies to do their work. So the Falcon Eye System is a state-of-the-art surveillance system that incorporates various centers located along the nation's enormous coastline, such as radar, long-range electronic optics systems with thermal or night vision capacity. We're told it has automatic identification system receivers. It has weather stations and marine VHF radios for communication. The integration of the sensors, this is the Falcon Eye System, we're told generates a real-time situational awareness of the activities of vessels in the Nigerian maritime domain and some selected parts of the Gulf of Guinea. And we've heard a very detailed description from the chief of the Naval Staff and also from the NSA. But it will enable the Nigerian Navy to generate a comprehensive, intelligent picture of activities within a maritime environment for further analysis. And in a public case, it is patching a Nigerian Navy ship or some other vessels for inspection, for investigation, and a subsequent arrest of air investment. So the Falcon Eye System will serve as a force multiplier for our naval platforms that are tasked to effectively secure a maritime environment from external aggression. I believe it will also enable the Nigerian Navy to effectively combat other maritime crimes that have been authorized already that could disrupt the conduct of maritime trade. So why is this project so important for our transmission? The maritime industry occupies a very prominent position in the macro of our vital economic interests. And it encompasses activities ranging from fishing and resource exploration to marine research and shipping, among other endeavours. Of all these activities, shipping stands out as a critical link in Nigeria's international trade engagement because it's the cheapest and most efficient way of moving large volumes of goods. So given our economic aspirations and our commitment to international trade, ensuring the security of shipping lanes within the approximate waters is in our national interest. In addition, all of our oil and gas resources, which are largely domiciled in the maritime environment, remain the mainstay of our economy. And it accounts for over 55% of GDP measured in different ways and 70% of our export earnings today. In recent years, some key identified threats within our maritime environment have taken on increasingly more harmful dimensions to our economy and even the safety of citizens and commercial entities who use our waters. And this includes piracy, armed attacks on ships, kidnapping, or ransom, coup d'oeuvres smuggling, as well as illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing. It's estimated that Nigeria loses several billions of dollars annually to various forms of criminality, particularly piracy and sea robberies. So on account of the escalated risk in some of our maritime areas, insurance premiums for commercial vessels coming to our waters have really sharpened making maritime trade and on a practical position for commercial trade. So this underscores the need to enhance our maritime security architecture. And consequently, a critical contribution of the partner system will be the provision of actionable intelligence for curbing maritime threats to our economy. This administration has demonstrated a clear commitment to building the capacity of our strategic institutions to secure our coastal waters and the precincts of our maritime neighborhoods. On the 24th of June 2019, Mr. President accept a sentence to the suppression of piracy and other maritime offences built. By this act, Nigeria became the first country in Western Central African subregion to promote it in standalone law against piracy, which is an important international requirement set by the International Maritime Authority as part of the measure to guarantee secure global shipping environment. The act provides the much needed legal and institutional framework to improve maritime security and ensure safety and secure shipping in Nigerian waters. Last year, we commenced the prosecution and secured our first conviction under this law. Last month, again, Mr. President conducted the launch of the Integrated National Security and Waterways Protection Infrastructure, otherwise known as the Deep Blue Project. The Deep Blue Project, as you know, is a maritime security initiative of the Federal Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Defense, which is implemented by the Nigerian Maritime Magistration and Safety Agency in the matter. It combines air, land, and sea assets with operational components constituted by the Nigerian Navy, as well as other branches of the AM40, the security services, and law enforcement. Between these initiatives, the Federal Government has significantly increased our national capability in the area of maritime turbulence and criminal interdiction within our territorial waters. It is clear that this administration has invested substantial resources in steadily building our sovereign capacity for total spectrum dominance of our maritime environment. And on behalf of Mr. President, I wish to urge all the relevant strategic institutions and stakeholders to collaborate in the pursuit of this all-important endeavor in the last election. Let me at this point commend the officers and men, and women of the Nigerian Navy, for their service in various sectors. You have the thanks of the Great Blue Mission and the resolute support of an administration that is committed to securing our territorial waters and guaranteeing the safety of traffic in our maritime neighborhoods. It is now my singular honor and pleasure, on behalf of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the AM40 of Nigeria, President Mohamed Iqbali, to commission the Falka Night Project for the security of our maritime environment and the safety and well-being of commercial and private users of our maritime environment. Thank you very much.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz5s4cXkFMw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Dombie and Son by Charles Dickens. Chapter 10, containing the sequel of The Midshipman's Disaster. Major Bagstock, after long and frequent observation of Paul across Princess's place through his double-barreled opera glass, and after receiving many minute reports daily, weekly, and monthly on that subject from the native who kept himself in constant communication with mistoxes made for that purpose, came to the conclusion that Dombie, sir, was a man to be known, and that JB was the boy to make his acquaintance. Mistox, however, maintaining her reserved behavior and frigidly declining to understand the major whenever he called, which he often did. On any little fishing excursion connected with this project, the major, in spite of his constitutional toughness and slowness, was feigned to leave the accomplishment of his desire in some measure to chance, which, as he was used to observe with chuckles at his club, has been fifty to one in favor of Joey B., sir, ever since his elder brother died of yellowjack in the West Indies. It was some time coming to his aid in the present instance, but it befriended him at last. When the dark servant with full particulars reported Mistox absent on Brighton's service, the major was suddenly touched with affectionate reminiscences of his friend Bill Bitherstone of Bengal, who had written to ask him if he ever went that way to bestow a call upon his only son. But when the same dark servant reported Paul at Mrs. Pipchins and the major referring to the letter favored by Master Bitherstone on his arrival in England, to which he had never had the least idea of paying any attention, saw the opening that presented itself, he was made so rabid by the gout with which he happened to be then laid up that he threw a footstool at the dark servant in return for his intelligence and swore he would be the death of the rascal before he had done with him, which the dark servant was more than half disposed to believe. At length the major, being released from his fit, went one Saturday growling down to Brighton with a native behind him, apostrophizing Mistox all the way and gloating over the prospect of carrying by storm the distinguished friend to whom she attached so much mystery and for whom she had deserted him. Would you, ma'am, would you? said the major, straining with vindictiveness and swelling every already swollen vein in his head. Would you give Joey B. the go-by, ma'am? Not yet, ma'am, not yet. Dammy, not yet. Sir, Joe is awake, ma'am. Bagstock is alive. Sir, JB knows a mover too, ma'am. Josh has his weather eye open, sir. You'll find him tough, ma'am, tough, sir. Tough is Joseph, tough and devilish sly. And very tough indeed Master Bitherstone found him when he took that young gentleman out for a walk, but the major, with his complexion like a stilt-in cheese and his eyes like a prawns, went roving about perfectly indifferent to Master Bitherstone's amusement and dragging Master Bitherstone along while he looked about him high and low for Mr. Damby and his children. In good time, the major, previously instructed by Mrs. Pipchin, spied out Paul and Florence and bore down upon them their being a stately gentleman, Mr. Damby doubtless, in their company. Charging with Master Bitherstone into the very heart of the little squadron, it fell out, of course, that Master Bitherstone spoke to his fellow sufferers. Upon that the major stopped to notice and admire them, remembered with amazement that he had seen and spoken to them at his friend Miss Toxes in Princess's place, a pined that Paul was a devilish fine fellow and his own little friend, inquired if he remembered Joey B. the major, and finally, with a sudden recollection of the conventionalities of life, turned and apologized to Mr. Damby. But my little friend here, sir, said the major, makes a boy of me again. An old soldier, sir, major bagstock at your service, is not ashamed to confess it. Here the major lifted his hat. Dammy, sir, cried the major with sudden warmth. I envy you. Then he recollected himself and added, excuse my freedom. Mr. Damby begged he wouldn't mention it. An old campaigner, sir, said the major, a smoke-dried sunburnt, used up, invalided old dog of a major, sir, was not afraid of being condemned for his whim by a man like Mr. Damby. I have the honor of dressing Mr. Damby, I believe. I am the present unworthy representative of that name, major, returned Mr. Damby. Byg, sir, said the major, it's a great name. It's a name, sir, said the major, firmly, as if he defied Mr. Damby to contradict him and would feel it his painful duty to bully him if he did. That is known and honored in the British possessions abroad. It is a name, sir, that a man is proud to recognize. There is nothing agilatory in Joseph Bagstock's, sir, his royal highness, the Duke of York, observed on more than one occasion. There is no agulation in Joey. He's a plain old soldier, is Joe. He is tough to a fault, is Joseph. But it's a great name, sir, by the Lord. It's a great name, said the major, solemnly. You are good enough to rate it higher than it deserves, perhaps, major, returned Mr. Damby. No, sir, said the major. In a severe tone, no, Mr. Damby. Let us understand each other. That is not the Bagstock vein, sir. You don't know Joseph B. He's a blunt old blade, is Josh. No flattery in him, sir. Nothing like it. My little friend here, sir, will certify for Joseph Bagstock that he is a thoroughgoing, downright, plain-spoken old Trump, sir, and nothing more. That boy, sir, said the major in a lower tone, will live in history. That boy, sir, is not a common production. Take care of him, Mr. Damby. Mr. Damby seemed to intimate that he would endeavor to do so. Here is a boy, sir, pursued the major confidentially and giving him a thrust with his cane. Son of Bitherstone of Bengal, Bill Bitherstone, formerly of ours. That boy's father and myself, sir, were sworn friends. Wherever you went, sir, you heard of nothing, but Bill Bitherstone and Joe Bagstock. Am I blind to that boy's defects? By no means. He's a fool, sir. Mr. Damby glanced at the libeled master Bitherstone, of whom he knew at least as much as the major did and said in a quite complacent manner. Really? That is what he is, sir, said the major. He's a fool. Joe Bagstock never menses matters. The son of my old friend Bill Bitherstone of Bengal is a born fool, sir. Here the major laughed till he was almost black. My little friend is destined for a public school, I presume, Mr. Damby, said the major when he had recovered. I am not quite decided, returned Mr. Damby. I think not. He is delicate. If he's delicate, sir, said the major, you are right, none but the tough fellows could live through it, sir, at Sandhurst. We put each other to the torture there, sir. We roasted the new fellows at a slow fire and hung them out of three pairs of stair windows with their heads downward. Joseph Bagstock, sir, was held out of the window by the heels of his boots for thirteen minutes by the college clock. The major might have appealed to his countenance in corroboration of this story. It certainly looked as if he had hung out a little too long. But it made us what we were, sir, said the major, settling his shirt-frill. We were eyeing, sir, and it forged us. Are you remaining here, Mr. Damby? I generally come down once a week, major, returned that gentleman. I stay at the Bedford. I shall have the honor of calling at the Bedford, sir, if you'll permit me, said the major. Joey B. Sir is not in general a calling man, but Mr. Damby is not a common name. I am much indebted to my little friend, sir, for the honor of this introduction. Mr. Damby made a very gracious reply and major Bagstock, having padded Paul on the head and said of Florence that her eyes would play the devil with the youngsters before long and the oldsters too, sir, if you come to that, added the major, chuckling very much, stirred up Master Bitherstone with his walking stick and departed with that young gentleman at a kind of half trot, rolling his head and coughing with great dignity as he staggered away with his legs very wide asunder. In fulfillment of his promise, the major afterwards called on Mr. Damby and Mr. Damby, having referred to the army list, afterwards called on the major. Then the major called at Mr. Damby's house in town and came down again in the same coach as Mr. Damby. In short, Mr. Damby and the major got on uncommonly well together and uncommonly fast and Mr. Damby observed of the major to his sister that besides being quite a military man, he was really something more as he had a very admirable idea of the importance of things unconnected with his own profession. At length, Mr. Damby bringing down Miss Tox and Mrs. Chick to see the children and finding the major again at Brighton invited him to dinner at the Bedford and complimented Miss Tox highly beforehand on her neighbor and acquaintance. My dear Louisa said Miss Tox to Mrs. Chick when they were alone together on the morning of the appointed day. If I should seem at all reserved to major back stock or under any constraint with him, promise me not to notice it. My dear Lucretia returned Mrs. Chick. What mystery is involved in this remarkable request? I must insist on knowing. Since you are resolved to extort a confession from me, Louisa said Miss Tox instantly, I have no alternative but to confide to you that the major has been particular. Particular? Repeated Mrs. Chick. The major has long been very particular indeed, my dear, in his attentions, said Miss Tox. Occasionally they have been so very marked that my position has been one of no common difficulty. Is he in good circumstances, inquired Mrs. Chick? I have every reason to believe, my dear, indeed I may say I know, returned Miss Tox, that he is wealthy, he is truly military and full of anecdote. I have been informed that his valor, when he was in active service, knew no bounds. I am told that he did all sorts of things in the peninsula with every description of firearm and in the East and West Indies, my love. I really couldn't undertake to say what he did not do. Very credible to him indeed, said Mrs. Chick, extremely so, and you have given him no encouragement, my dear. If I were to say, Louisa, replied Miss Tox with every demonstration of making an effort that moved her soul, that I never encouraged major back-stock slightly, I should not do justice to the friendship which exists between you and me. It is perhaps hardly in the nature of women to receive such attentions as the major once lavished upon myself without betraying some sense of obligation. But that is past, long past. Between the major and me there is now a yawning chasm and I will not feign to give encouragement, Louisa, where I cannot give my heart. My affections, said Miss Tox, but Louisa, this is madness and departed from the room. All this Mrs. Chick communicated to her brother before dinner and did by no means indisposed Mr. Dombie to receive the major with unwanted cordiality. The major, for his part, was in a state of plethoraic satisfaction that knew no bounds and he coughed and choked and chuckled and gasped and swelled until the waiters seemed positively afraid of him. Your family monopolizes Joe's light, sir, said the major when he had saluted Miss Tox. Joe lives in darkness, Princess's place is changed into Kamchatka in the wintertime. There is no ray of sun, sir, for Joey B. now. Miss Tox is good enough to take a great deal of interest in Paul, major, returned Mr. Dombie on behalf of that blushing virgin. Dammy, sir, said the major, I'm jealous of my little friend. I'm pining away, sir. The backstop breed is degenerating in the forsaken person of old Joe and the major becoming bluer and bluer and puffing his cheeks further and further over the stiff ridge of his tight cravat stared at Miss Tox until his eyes seemed as if he were at that moment being overdone before the slow fire of the military college. Notwithstanding the palpitation of the heart, which these allusions occasioned her, they were anything but disagreeable to Miss Tox as they enabled her to be extremely interesting and to manifest an occasional incoherence and distraction which she was not at all unwilling to display. The major gave her abundant opportunities of exhibiting this emotion being profuse in his complaints at dinner of her desertion of him and Princess's place and as he appeared to derive great enjoyment from making them, they all got on very well. None the worse on account of the major taking charge of the whole conversation and showing as great an appetite in that respect as in regard of the various dainties on the table among which he may be almost said to have wallowed greatly to the aggravation of his inflammatory tendencies. Mr. Dombie's habitual silence and reserve yielding readily to this usurpation the major felt that he was coming out and shining and in the flow of spirits thus engendered rang such an infinite number of new changes on his own name that he quite astonished himself. In a word, they were all very well pleased. The major was considered to possess an inexhaustible fund of conversation and when he took a late farewell after a long rubber, Mr. Dombie again complimented the blushing mistox on her neighbor and acquaintance. But all the way home to his own hotel the major incessantly said to himself and of himself, Sly, sir, sly, sir devilish sly and when he got there sat down in a chair and fell into a silent fit of laughter with which he was sometimes seized and which was always particularly awful. It held him so long on this occasion that the dark servant who stood watching him at a distance but dared not for his life approach twice or thrice gave him over for lost. His whole form, but especially his face and head dilated beyond all former experience and presented to the dark man's view nothing but a heavy mass of indigo. At length he burst into a violent paroxym of coughing and when that was a little better burst into such ejaculations as the following. Would you, ma'am? Would you, Mrs. Dombie? A, ma'am. I think not, ma'am. Not while Joe B. can put a spoke in your wheel, ma'am, JB's even with you now, ma'am. He isn't altogether bowled out yet, sir, isn't bag-stock. She's deep, sir, deep, but Josh is deeper. Wide awake is old Joe, broad awake and staring, sir. There was no doubt of this last assertion being true and to a very fearful extent continued to be during the greater part of that night which the Major chiefly passed in similar exclamation diversified with fits of coughing and choking that startled the whole house. It was on the day after this occasion, being Sunday, when, as Mr. Dombie, Mrs. Chick and Miss Tox were sitting at breakfast still eulogizing the Major, Florence came running in. Her face suffused with a bright color and her eyes sparkling joyfully and cried, Papa, papa, here's Walter, and he won't come in. Who? cried Mr. Dombie. What does she mean? What is this? Walter, papa, said Florence timidly, sensible of having approached the presence with too much familiarity. Who found me when I was lost? Does she mean young gay? Louisa inquired Mr. Dombie, knitting his brows. Really, this child's manners have become very boisterous. She cannot mean young gay, I think. See what it is, will you? Mrs. Chick hurried into the passage and returned with the information that it was young gay, accompanied by a very strange-looking person, and that this young gay said he would not take the liberty of coming in, hearing Mr. Dombie was at breakfast, but would wait until Mr. Dombie should signify that he might approach. Tell the boy to come in now, said Mr. Dombie. Now, gay, what is the matter? Who set you down here? Was there nobody else to come? I beg your pardon, sir, returned Walter. I have not been sent. I have been so bold as to come on my own account, which I hope you'll pardon when I mention the cause. But Mr. Dombie, without attending to what he said, was looking impatiently on either side of him, as if he were a pillar in his way, at some object behind. What's that, said Mr. Dombie? Who is that? I think you have made some mistake in the door, sir. Oh, I'm very sorry to intrude with anyone, sir, cried Walter hastily. But this is—this is Captain Cuddle, sir. Walter, my lad, observed the captain in a deep voice. Stand by. At the same time the captain, coming a little further in, brought out his wide suit of blue, his conspicuous shirt collar, and his knobby nose in full relief, and stood bowing to Mr. Dombie, and waving his hook politely to the ladies, with the hard glazed hat in his one hand, and a red equator round his head, which it had newly imprinted there. Mr. Dombie regarded this phenomenon with amazement and indignation, and seemed by his looks to appeal to Mrs. Chick and Miss Tox against it. Little Paul, who had come in after Florence, backed towards Miss Tox as the captain waved his hook, and stood on the defensive. Now gay, said Mr. Dombie. What have you got to say to me? Again the captain observed as a general opening of the conversation that could not fail to propitiate all parties. Walter, stand by. I am afraid, sir, began Walter trembling and looking down at the ground, that I take a very great liberty in coming. Indeed, I am sure I do. I should hardly have had the courage to ask to see you, sir. Even after coming down, I am afraid, I had not overtaken Miss Dombie, and... Well, said Mr. Dombie, following his eyes as he glanced at the attentive Florence, and frowning unconsciously as she encouraged him with a smile. Go on, if you please. I-I observed the captain considering it incumbent on him as a point of good breeding to support Mr. Dombie. Well said, go on, Walter. Captain Cuddle ought to have been withered by the look which Mr. Dombie bestowed upon him in acknowledgement of his patronage. But quite innocent of this, he closed one eye in reply and gave Mr. Dombie to understand by certain significant motions of his hook that Walter was a little bashful at first and might be expected to come out shortly. It is entirely a private and personal matter that has brought me here, sir, continued Walter, faltering, and Captain Cuddle. Here interposed the captain as an assurance that he was at hand and might be relied upon. Who is a very old friend of my poor uncles and a most excellent man, sir, pursued Walter, raising his eyes with a look of entreaty in the captain's behalf. Was so good as to offer to come with me which I could hardly refuse. No, no, no, observed the captain complacently. Of course not, no call for refusing. Go on, Walter. And therefore, sir, said Walter, venturing to meet Mr. Dombie's eye and proceeding with better courage in the very desperation of the case, now that there was no avoiding it. Therefore I have come with him, sir, to say that my poor old uncle is in very great affliction and distress, that through the gradual loss of his business and not being able to make a payment, the apprehension of which has weighed very heavily upon his mind months and months, as indeed I know, sir. He has an execution in his house and is in danger of losing all he has and breaking his heart. And that, if you would, in your kindness and in your old knowledge of him as a respectable man, do anything to help him out of his difficulty. Sir, we could never thank you enough for it. Walter's eyes filled with tears as he spoke, and so did those of Florence. Her father saw them glistening, though he appeared to look at Walter only. It is a very large sum, sir, said Walter, more than three hundred pounds. My uncle is quite beaten down by his misfortune. It lies so heavy on him, and he is quite unable to do anything for his own relief. He doesn't even know yet that I have come to speak to you. You would wish me to say, sir, added Walter after a moment's hesitation. Exactly what it is I want. I really don't know, sir. There is my uncle's stock on which I believe I may say, confidently, there are no other demands, and there is Captain Cuddle who would wish to be security, too. I hardly like to mention, said Walter, such earnings as mine, but if you would allow them accumulate payment, advance, uncle frugal, honorable old man, Walter trailed off through these broken sentences into silence and stood with downcast head before his employer. Considering this a favorable moment for the display of the valuables, Captain Cuddle advanced to the table and, clearing his space among the breakfast cups at Mr. Dombie's elbow, produced the silver watch, the ready money, the teaspoons, the sugar tongs, and piling them up into a heap that they might look as precious as possible delivered himself of these words. Half a loaf's better than no bread and the same remark holds good with crumbs. There's a few. A newity of one hundred pounds per annum also ready to be made over. If there is a man chock-full of science in the world its old solgills. If there is a lad of promise, one flowing, added the Captain in one of his happy quotations, with milk and honey, it's his nevy. The Captain then withdrew to his former place where he stood arranging his scattered locks with the air of a man who has given the finishing touch to a difficult performance. When Walter ceased to speak, Mr. Dombie's eyes were attracted to little Paul, who seeing his sister hanging down her head and silently weeping in her commiseration for the distress she had heard described went over to her and tried to comfort her, looking at Walter and his father as he did so with a very expressive face. After the momentary distraction of Captain Cuddle's address which he regarded with lofty indifference Mr. Dombie again turned his eyes upon his son and sat steadily regarding the child for some moments in silence. What was this debt contracted for? asked Mr. Dombie at length. Who is the creditor? He don't know, replied the Captain putting his hand on Walter's shoulder. I do. It came of helping a man that's dead now and that's cost my friend Gill's many a hundred pound already, more particulars in private if agreeable. People who have enough to do to hold their own way said Mr. Dombie unobservant of the Captain's mysterious signs behind Walter and still looking at his son had better be content with their own obligations and difficulties and not increase them by engaging for other men. It is an act of dishonesty and presumption too, said Mr. Dombie sternly. Great presumption for the wealthy could do no more. Paul, come here. The child obeyed and Mr. Dombie took him on his knee. If you had money now, said Mr. Dombie look at me. Paul, whose eyes had wandered to his sister and to Walter, looked his father in the face. If you had money now, said Mr. Dombie as much money as Young Gay has talked about what would you do? Give it to his old uncle, returned Paul. Lend it to his old Uncle A. retorted Mr. Dombie. Well, when you are old enough you know you will share my money and we shall use it together. Dombie and son interrupted Paul who had been tutored early in the phrase. Dombie and son repeated his father would you like to begin to be Dombie and son now and lend this money to Young Gay's uncle? Oh, if you please Papa said Paul and so would Florence. Girls, said Mr. Dombie have nothing to do with Dombie and son. Do you like it? Yes, Papa, yes. Then you shall do it, returned his father. And you see Paul, he added, dropping his voice. How powerful money is and how anxious people are to get it. Young Gay comes all this way to beg for money and you who are so grand and great having got it are going to let him have it great favor and obligation. Paul turned up the old face for a moment in which there was a sharp understanding of the reference conveyed in these words but it was a young and childish face immediately afterwards when he slipped down from his father's knee and ran to tell Florence not to cry anymore for he was going to let Young Gay have the money. Mr. Dombie then turned to a side table and wrote a note and sealed it. During the interval Paul and Florence whispered to Walter and Captain Cuddle beamed on the three with such aspiring and ineffably presumptuous thoughts as Mr. Dombie could never have believed in. Note, being finished, Mr. Dombie turned round to his former place and headed out to Walter. Give that, he said, the first thing tomorrow morning to Mr. Cawker. To Mr. Cawker the Junior, sir, inquired Walter in the hurry of his mind. To Mr. Cawker the Junior repeated Mr. Dombie with disdain, no, to Mr. Cawker. He will immediately take care that one of my people releases your uncle from his present position by paying the amount at issue and that such arrangements are made for its repayment as may be consistent with your uncle's circumstances. You will consider that this is done for you by Master Paul. Walter, in the emotion of holding in his hand the means of releasing his good uncle from his trouble, would have endeavored to express something of his gratitude and joy, but Mr. Dombie stopped him short. You will consider that it is done, he repeated, by Master Paul. I have explained that to him and he understands it. I wish no more to be said. As he motioned towards the door Walter could only bow his head and retire. Miss Tox, seeing that the captain appeared about to do the same, interposed. My dear sir, she said addressing Mr. Dombie at whose munificence both she and Mrs. Chick were shedding tears copiously. I think you have overlooked something. Pardon me, Mr. Dombie. I think in the nobility of your character and its exalted scope you have omitted a matter of detail. Indeed, Miss Tox said Mr. Dombie. The gentleman with the instrument pursued Miss Tox, glancing at Captain Cuddle, has left upon the table at your elbow. Good Heaven, said Mr. Dombie, sweeping the captain's property from him, as if it were so much crumb indeed. Take these things away. I am obliged to you, Miss Tox. It is your usual discretion. Have the goodness to take these things away, sir. Captain Cuddle felt he had no alternative but to comply. But he was so much struck by the magnanimity of Mr. Dombie in refusing treasures lying heaped up to his hand that when he had deposited the teaspoons and sugar tongs in one pocket and the ready money in another and had lowered the great watch down slowly into its proper vault, he could not refrain from seizing that gentleman's right hand in his own solitary left, and while he held it open with his powerful fingers, bringing the hook down upon its palm in a transport of admiration. At the touch of warm feeling and cold iron, Mr. Dombie shivered all over. Captain Cuddle then kissed his hook to the ladies several times, with great elegance and gallantry, and having taken a particular leave of Paul and Florence, accompanied Walter out of the room. Florence was running after them in the earnestness of her heart to send some message to old Saul when Mr. Dombie called her back and bade her stay where she was. Will you never be a Dombie, my dear child? said Mrs. Chick with pathetic reproachfulness. Dear Aunt, said Florence, don't be angry with me. I am so thankful to Papa. She would have run and thrown her arms about his neck if she had dared, but she did not dare. She glanced with thankful eyes toward him as he sat musing, sometimes bestowing an uneasy glance on her, but for the most part watching Paul, who walked about the room with the new-blown dignity of having let young Gay have the money. And young Gay, Walter, what of him? He was overjoyed to purge the old man's hearth from bailiffs and brokers and to hurry back to his uncle with the good tidings. He was overjoyed to have it all arranged and settled the next day before noon and to sit down at evening in the little-back parlor with old Saul and Captain Cuddle and to see the instrument maker already reviving and hopeful for the future and feeling that the wooden midshipman was his own again. But without the least impeachment of his gratitude to Mr. Dombie, it must be confessed that Walter was humbled and cast down. It was when our budding hopes are nipped beyond recovery by some rough wind that we are the most disposed to picture to ourselves what flowers they might have borne if they had flourished. And now, when Walter found himself cut off from that great Dombie height by the depth of a new and terrible tumble and felt that all his old wild fancies had been scattered to the winds in the fall, he began to suspect that they might have led him on to harmless visions of aspiring to Florence in the remote distance of time. The Captain viewed the subject in quite a different light. He appeared to entertain a belief that the interview at which he had assisted was so very satisfactory and encouraging as to be only a step or two removed from a regular betrothal of Florence to Walter and that the late transaction had immensely forwarded, if not thoroughly established, the witting Tonian hopes. Stimulated by this conviction, and by the improvement in the spirits of his old friend, and by his own consequent gaiety, he even attempted in favoring them with a ballad of lovely peg for the third time in one evening to make an extemporaneous substitution of the name Florence, but finding this difficult on account of the word peg invariably rhyming to leg, in which personal beauty the original was described as having excelled all competitors, he hit upon the happy thought of exchanging it to flag, which he accordingly did with an arch-ness almost supernatural and a voice quite vociferous, notwithstanding that the time was close at hand when he must seek the abode of the dreadful Mrs. McStinger. That same evening, the major was diffuse at his club on the subject of his friend Dombie in the city. Damn me, sir, said the major, he's a prince, is my friend Dombie in the city. I tell you what, sir, if you had a few more men among you like old Joe Bagstock and my friend Dombie in the city, sir, you'd do. End of chapter 10. Chapter 11 of Dombie and Son.

Mrs. Pipchins' Constitution was made of such hard metal in spite of its liability to the fleshly weaknesses of standing in need of repose after chops and of requiring to be coaxed to sleep by the soporific agency of sweetbreads that it utterly set at naught the predictions of Mrs. Wickham and showed no symptoms of decline. Yet, as Paul's rapt interest in the old lady continued unabated, Mrs. Wickham would not budge an inch from the position she had taken up. Fortifying and entrenching herself on the strong ground of her uncle's Betsy Jane, she advised Miss Berry as a friend to prepare herself for the worst and forwarned her that her aunt might at any time be expected to go off suddenly, like a powder mill. I hope, Miss Berry, Mrs. Wickham would observe, that you'll come into what little property there may be to leave. You deserve it, I am sure, for yours is a trying life. Though there don't seem much worth coming into, you'll excuse my being so open in this dismal den. Poor Berry took it all in good part and drudged and slaved away as usual, perfectly convinced that Mrs. Pipjin was one of the most meritorious persons in the world and making every day innumerable sacrifices of herself upon the altar of that noble old woman. But all these immolations of Berry were somehow carried to the credit of Mrs. Pipjin by Mrs. Pipjin's friends and admirers and were made to harmonize with and carry out that melancholy fact of the deceased Mr. Pipjin having broken his heart in the Peruvian mines. For example, there was an honest, grosser and general dealer in the retail line of business between whom and Mrs. Pipjin there was a small memorandum book with a greasy red cover perpetually in question and concerning which diverse secret councils and conferences were continually being held between the parties to the register on the mat in the passage and with closed doors in the parlor. Nor were there wanting dark hints from Master Bitherstone whose temper had been made revengeful by the solar heats of India acting on his blood of balances unsettled and of a failure on one occasion within his memory in the supply of moist sugar at tea time. This grosser being a bachelor and not a man who looked upon the surface for beauty had once made honorable offers for the hand of Barry which Mrs. Pipjin had with contumely and scorn rejected. Everybody said how laudable this was in Mrs. Pipjin, relic of a man who had died of the Peruvian mines and what a staunch, high, independent spirit the old lady had. But nobody said anything about poor Barry who cried for six weeks being soundly raided by her good aunt all the time and lapsed into a state of hopeless spinsterhood. Barry's very fond of you, ain't she? Paul once asked Mrs. Pipjin when they were sitting by the fire with the cat. Yes, said Mrs. Pipjin. Why? asked Paul. Why? returned the disconcerted old lady. How can you ask such things? Sir, why are you fond of your sister Florence? Because she's very good, said Paul. There's nobody like Florence. Well, retorted Mrs. Pipjin shortly. And there's nobody like me, I suppose. Ain't there really, though? asked Paul leaning forward in his chair and looking at her very hard. No, said the old lady. I am glad of that, observed Paul rubbing his hands thoughtfully. That's a very good thing. Mrs. Pipjin didn't dare to ask him why lest she should receive some perfectly annihilating answer. But as a compensation to her wounded feelings she harassed Master Bitherstone to that extent until bedtime that he began that very night to make arrangements for an overland return to India by secreting from his supper a quarter of a round of bread and a fragment of moist Dutch cheese as the beginning of a stock of provisions to support him on the voyage. Generally speaking, indeed, Paul was anything but a boon to that young gentleman. The better understanding between Mrs. Pipjin and himself the harder the life Master Bitherstone led. Little Miss Panky did not escape the application of the principle for whenever Paul had been particularly frank and confidential to Mrs. Pipjin that worthy old soul would afterwards hunt her to bed with the keenness of a Nimrod. What with her daily shampooing and the agitation of these nightly chases and her weekly agonies of separation from the aunt at Rotterdeen and her apprehension of never getting to heaven at last which Mrs. Pipjin double locked and barred for every small offence from sniffing upwards it is probable that this young innocent would have died of despair but for a change that came to pass in the affairs of the castle the subsequent subsidence of Mrs. Pipjin into a more lethargic and less inexorable state. Mrs. Pipjin had kept watch and ward over little Paul and his sister for nearly 12 months. They had been home twice but only for a few days and had been constant in their weekly visits to Mr. Domby at the hotel. By little and little Paul had grown stronger and able to dispense with his carriage though he still looked thin and delicate and still remained the same old quiet dreamy child that he had been when first consigned to Mrs. Pipjin's care. One Saturday afternoon at dusk great consternation was occasioned in the castle by the unlooked for announcement of Mr. Domby as a visitor to Mrs. Pipjin. The population of the parlor was immediately swept upstairs as on the wings of a whirlwind and after much slamming of bedroom doors and trampling overhead and some knocking about of Master Bitherstone by Mrs. Pipjin as a relief to the perturbation of her spirits the black bombazine garments of the worthy old lady darkened the audience chamber where Mr. Domby was contemplating the naked armchair of his son and heir. Mrs. Pipjin said Mr. Domby how do you do? Thank you sir said Mrs. Pipjin I am pretty well considering Mrs. Pipjin always used that form of words it meant considering her virtues sacrifices and so forth I can't expect sir to be very well said Mrs. Pipjin taking a chair and fetching her breath but such health as I have I am grateful for. Mr. Domby inclined his head with the satisfied air of a patron who felt that this was the sort of thing for which he paid so much a quarter after a moment's silence he went on to say Mrs. Pipjin I have taken the liberty of calling to consult you in reference to my son I have had it in my mind to do so for some time past but have deferred it from time to time in order that his health might be thoroughly reestablished you have no misgivings on that subject Mrs. Pipjin Brighton has proved very beneficial sir returned Mrs. Pipjin very beneficial indeed I propose said Mr. Domby his remaining at Brighton Mrs. Pipjin rubbed her hands and bent her grey eyes on the fire but pursued Mr. Domby stretching out his forefinger but possibly that he should now make a change and lead a different kind of life here in short Mrs. Pipjin that is the object of my visit my son is getting on Mrs. Pipjin really he is getting on there was something melancholy in the triumphant air with which Mr. Domby said this it showed how long Paul's childish life had been to him and how his hopes were set upon a later stage of his existence Pity may appear a strange word to connect with anyone so haughty and so cold and yet he seemed a worthy subject for it at that moment six years old said Mr. Domby setting his neck cloth perhaps to hide an irresistible smile that rather seemed to strike upon the surface of his face and glance away as finding no resting place than to play there for an instant dear me six will be changed to sixteen before we have time to look about us ten years croaked the unsympathetic Pipjin with a frosty glistening of her hard grey eye and a dreary shaking of her bent head is a long time it depends on circumstances return Mr. Domby at all events Mrs. Pipjin my son is six years old and there is no doubt I fear that in his studies he is behind many children of his age or his youth said Mr. Domby quickly answering what he mistrusted was a shrewd twinkle of the frosty eye his youth is a more appropriate expression now Mrs. Pipjin instead of being behind his peers my son ought to be before them far before them there is an eminence ready for him to mount upon there is nothing of chance or doubt in the course before my son his way in life was clear and prepared and marked out before he existed the education of such a young gentleman must not be delayed it must not be left imperfect it must be very steadily and seriously undertaken Mrs. Pipjin well sir said Mrs. Pipjin I can say nothing to the contrary I was quite sure Mrs. Pipjin returned Mr. Domby approvingly that a person of your good sense could not and would not there is a great deal of nonsense and worse talked about young people not being pressed too hard at first and being tempted on and all the rest of it sir said Mrs. Pipjin impatiently rubbing her hooked nose it never was thought of in my time and it has no business to be thought of now my opinion is keep him at it my good madam returned Mr. Domby you have not acquired your reputation undeservedly and I beg you to believe Mrs. Pipjin that I am more than satisfied with your excellent system of management and shall have the greatest pleasure in commending it whenever my poor commendation Mr. Domby's loftiness when he affected to disparage his own importance past all bounds can be of any service I have been thinking of Dr. Blimber's Mrs. Pipjin my neighbor sir said Mrs. Pipjin I believe the doctors in an excellent establishment I've heard that it's very strictly conducted and there is nothing but learning going on from morning to night and it's very expensive said Mr. Domby and it's very expensive sir returned Mrs. Pipjin catching at the fact as if in omitting that she had omitted one of its leading merits I have had some communication with the doctor Mrs. Pipjin said Mr. Domby hitching his chair anxiously a little nearer to the fire and he does not consider Paul at all too young for his purpose he mentioned several instances of boys in Greek at about the same age if I have any little uneasiness in my own mind Mrs. Pipjin on the subject of this change it is not on that head my son not having known a mother has gradually concentrated much too much of his childish affection on his sister whether their separation Mr. Domby said no more but sat silent hoity-toity exclaimed Mrs. Pipjin shaking out her black bombazine skirts and plucking up all the ogres within her if she don't like it Mr. Domby she must be taught to lump it the good lady apologized immediately afterwards for using so common a figure of speech but said and truly that that was the way she reasoned with him Mr. Domby waited until Mrs. Pipjin had done bridling and shaking her head and frowning down a legion of bithirstones and pankeys and then said quietly but correctively he my good madam he Mrs. Pipjin's system would have applied very much the same mode of cure to any uneasiness on the part of Paul too but as the hard gray eye was sharp enough to see that the recipe however Mr. Domby might admit its efficacy in the case of the daughter was not a sovereign remedy for the son she argued the point and contended that change and new society and the different form of life he would lead at Dr. Blimbers and the studies he would have to master would very soon prove sufficient alienations as this chimed in with Mr. Domby's own hope and belief it gave that gentleman a still higher opinion of Mrs. Pipjin's understanding and as Mrs. Pipjin at the same time bewailed the loss of her dear little friend which was not an overwhelming shock to her as she had long expected it and had not looked in the beginning for his remaining with her longer than three months he formed an equally good opinion of Mrs. Pipjin's disinterestedness it was plain that he had given the subject anxious consideration for he had formed a plan which he announced to the ogres of sending Paul to the doctors as a weekly border for the first half year during which time Florence would remain at the castle that she might receive her brother there on Saturdays this would wean him by degrees Mr. Domby said probably with a recollection of his not having been weaned by degrees on a former occasion Mr. Domby finished the interview by expressing his hope that Mrs. Pipjin would still remain in office as general superintendent and overseer of his son pending his studies at Brighton and having kissed Paul and shaken hands with Florence and beheld master Bitherstone in his collar of state and made Miss Panky cry by patting her on the head in which region she was uncommonly tender on account of a habit Mrs. Pipjin had of sounding it with her knuckles like a cask he withdrew to his hotel and dinner resolved that Paul, now that he was getting so old and well he should begin a vigorous course of education forthwith to qualify him for the position in which he was to shine and that Dr. Blimber should take him in hand immediately whenever a young gentleman was taken in hand by Dr. Blimber he might consider himself sure of a pretty tight squeeze the doctor only undertook the charge of ten young gentlemen but he had always ready a supply of learning for a hundred on the lowest estimate and it was at once the business and delight of his life to gorge the unhappy ten with it in fact Dr. Blimber's establishment was a great hot house in which there was a forcing apparatus incessantly at work all the boys blew before their time mental green peas were produced at Christmas and intellectual asparagus all the year round mathematical gooseberries, very sour ones too were common at untimely seasons and from mere sprouts of bushes under Dr. Blimber's cultivation every description of Greek and Latin vegetable was got off the driest twigs of boys under the frostiest circumstances nature was of no consequence at all no matter what a young gentleman was intended to bear Dr. Blimber made him bear to pattern, somehow or other this was all very pleasant and ingenious but the system of forcing was attended with its usual disadvantages there was not the right taste about the premature productions and they didn't keep well moreover one young gentleman with a swollen nose and an excessively large head the oldest of the ten who had gone through everything suddenly left off blowing one day and remained in the establishment a mere stalk and people did say that the doctor had rather overdone it with young toots and that when he began to have whiskers he left off having brains there young toots was at any rate possessed of the gruffest of voices and the shrillest of minds sticking ornamental pins into his shirt and keeping a ring in his waistcoat pocket to put on his little finger by stealth when the pupils went out walking constantly falling in love by sight with nursery-maids who had no idea of his existence and looking at the gas-lighted world over the little iron bars in the left-hand corner window of the front pairs of stairs after bedtime like a greatly overgrown cherub who had sat up aloft much too long the doctor was a portly gentleman in a suit of black with strings at his knees and stockings below them he had a bald head highly polished a deep voice and a chin so very double that it was a wonder how he ever managed to shave into the creases he had likewise a pair of little eyes that were always half shut up and a mouth that was always half expanded into a grin as if he had, that moment, posed a boy and were waiting to convict him from his own lips in so much that when the doctor put his right hand into the breast of his coat and with his other hand behind him and a scarcely perceptible wag of his head made the commonest observation to a nervous stranger it was like a sentiment from the Sphinx and settled his business the doctors was a mighty fine house fronting the sea not a joyful style of house within but quite the contrary sad-colored curtains whose proportions were spare and lean hid themselves despondently behind the windows the tables and chairs were put away in rows like figures in a sum fires were so rarely lighted in the rooms of ceremony that they felt like wells and a visitor represented the bucket the dining room seemed the last place in the world where any eating or drinking was likely to occur there was no sound through all the house but the ticking of a great clock in the hall which made itself audible in the very garrets and sometimes a dull crying of young gentlemen at their lessons like the murmurings of an assemblage of melancholy pigeons Miss Blimber too although a slim and graceful maid did no soft violence to the gravity of the house there was no light nonsense about Miss Blimber she kept her hair short and crisp and more spectacles she was dry and sandy with working in the graves of deceased languages none of your live languages for Miss Blimber they must be dead, stone dead and then Miss Blimber dug them up like a ghoul Mrs. Blimber, her mama was not learned herself but she pretended to be and that did quite as well she said at evening parties that if she could have known Cicero she thought she could have died contented it was the steady joy of her life to see the doctor's young gentlemen go out walking unlike all other young gentlemen in the largest possible shirt collars and the stiffest possible cravats it was so classical, she said Mr. Feder B.A. Dr. Blimber's assistant he was a kind of human barrel organ with a little list of tunes at which he was continually working over and over without any variation he might have been fitted up with a change of barrels perhaps in early life if his destiny had been favorable but it had not been and he had only one with which in a monotonous round it was his occupation to bewilder the young ideas of Dr. Blimber's young gentlemen the young gentlemen were prematurely full of carcing anxieties they knew no rest from the pursuit of stony-hearted verbs savage noun substantives inflexible syntactic passages ghosts of exercises that appeared to them in their dreams under the forcing system a young gentleman usually took leave of his spirits in three weeks he had all the cares of the world on his head in three months he conceived bitter sentiments against his parents or guardians in four he was an old misanthrope in five envied courteous that blessed refuge in the earth in six and at the end of the first twelve month had arrived at the conclusion from which he never afterwards departed that all the fancies of the poets and lessons of the sages were a mere collection of words and grammar and had no other meaning in the world but he went on blow, blow, blowing in the doctor's hot-house all the time and the doctor's glory and reputation were great when he took his wintry growth home to his relations and friends upon the doctor's doorsteps one day Paul stood with a fluttering heart and with his small right hand in his father's his other hand was locked in that of Florence how tight the tiny pressure of that one and how loose and cold the other Mrs. Pipchin hovered behind the victim with her sable plumage and her hooked beak like a bird of ill omen she was out of breath for Mr. Dombie full of great thoughts had walked fast and she croaked hoarsely as she waited for the opening of the door now Paul said Mr. Dombie exultingly this is the way indeed to be Dombie and son and have money you are almost a man already almost returned the child even his childish agitation could not master the sly and quaint yet touching look with which he accompanied the reply it brought a vague expression of dissatisfaction into Mr. Dombie's face but the door being opened it was quickly gone Dr. Blimber is at home I believe said Mr. Dombie the man said yes and as they passed in looked at Paul as if he were a little mouse and the house were a trap he was a weak-eyed young man with the first faint streaks or early dawn of a grin on his countenance it was mere imbecility but Mrs. Pipchin took it into her head that it was impudence and made a snap at him directly how dare you laugh behind the gentleman's back said Mrs. Pipchin and what do you take me for I ain't a laughin' at nobody and I'm sure I don't take you for nothing ma'am return the young man in consternation a pack of idle dogs said Mrs. Pipchin only fit to be turnspits go and tell your master that Mr. Dombie's here or it'll be worse for you the weak-eyed young man went very meekly to discharge himself of this commission and soon came back to invite them to the doctor's study you're laughing again sir said Mrs. Pipchin when it came to her turn bringing up the rear to pass him in the hall I ain't return the young man grievously oppressed I never see such a thing as this what is the matter Mrs. Pipchin said Mr. Dombie looking round softly praying Mrs. Pipchin in her deference merely muttered at the young man as she passed on and said oh he was a precious fellow leaving the young man who was all meekness and incapacity affected even to tears by the incident but Mrs. Pipchin had a way of falling foul of all meek people and her friends said who could wonder at it after the Peruvian minds the doctor was sitting in his portentious study with a globe at each knee books all around him Homer over the door and Minerva on the mantel shelf and how do you do sir he said to Mr. Dombie and how is my little friend grave as an organ was the doctor's speech and when he ceased the great cloak in the hall seemed to Paul at least to take him up and to go on saying how is it my little friend how is it my little friend over and over again the little friend being something too small to be seen at all from where the doctor sat over the books on his table the doctor made several futile attempts to get a view of him round the legs which Mr. Dombie perceiving relieved the doctor from his embarrassment by taking Paul up in his arms and sitting him on another little table over against the doctor in the middle of the room ha! said the doctor sitting back in his chair with his hands on his breast now I see my little friend how do you do my little friend the clock in the hall wouldn't subscribe to this alteration in the form of words but continued to repeat how is my little friend how is my little friend very well I thank you sir returned Paul answering the clock quite as much as the doctor ha! said Dr. Blimber shall we make a man of him do you hear Paul asked Mr. Dombie Paul being silent shall we make a man of him repeated the doctor I had rather be a child replied Paul indeed said the doctor why the child sat on the table looking at him with a curious expression of suppressed emotion in his face and beating one hand proudly on his knee as if he had the rising tears beneath it and crushed them but the his other hand strayed a little way the while a little farther farther from him yet until it lighted on the neck of Florence this is why it seemed to say and then the steady look was broken up and gone the working lip was loosened and the tears came streaming forth Mrs. Pipchin said his father in a querulous manner I am really very sorry to see this come away from him do Miss Dombie quote the matron nevermind said the doctor blandly nodding his head to keep Mrs. Pipchin back nevermind we shall substitute new cares and new impressions Mr. Dombie very shortly you would still wish my little friend to acquire everything if you please doctor return Mr. Dombie firmly yes said the doctor who with his half shot eyes and his usual smile seemed to survey Paul with the sort of interest that might attach to some choice little animal he was going to stuff yes exactly ha we shall impart a great variety of information to our little friend and bring him quickly forward I dare say my dare say quite a virgin soil I believe you said Mr. Dombie except some ordinary preparation at home and from this lady replied Mr. Dombie introducing Mrs. Pipchin who instantly communicated the rigidity to her whole muscular system and snorted defiance beforehand in case the doctor should disparage her except so far Paul has as yet applied himself to no studies at all Dr. Blimber inclined his head in gentle tolerance of such insignificant poaching as Mrs. Pipchin's and said he was glad to hear it it was much more satisfactory he observed rubbing his hands to begin at the foundation and again he leered at Paul as if he would have like to tackle him with the Greek alphabet on the spot that circumstance indeed Dr. Blimber pursued Mr. Dombie glancing at his little son and the interview I have already had the pleasure of holding with you renders any further explanation and consequently any further intrusion on your valuable time so unnecessary that now Miss Dombie said the acid Pipchin permit me said the doctor one moment allow me to present Mrs. Blimber and my daughter who will be associated with the domestic life to Parnassus Mrs. Blimber for the lady who had perhaps been in waiting opportunity entered followed by her daughter that fair sexton in spectacles Mr. Dombie my daughter Cornelia Mr. Dombie Mr. Dombie my love pursued the doctor turning to his wife is so confiding as to Mrs. Blimber in an excess of politeness of which Mr. Dombie was the object apparently did not for she was backing against the little friend and very much endangering his position on the table but on this hint she turned to admire his classical and intellectual liniments and turning again to Mr. Dombie said with a sigh that she envied her dear son like a bee sir said Mrs. Blimber with uplifted eyes about to plunge into a garden of the choicest flowers and sip the sweets for the first time Virgil Horace Ovid Terence Ploutis Cicero what a world of honey have we here it may appear remarkable Mr. Dombie in one who is a wife the wife of such a husband hush hush said Dr. Blimber five for shame Mr. Dombie will forgive the partiality of a wife said Mrs. Blimber with an engaging smile Mr. Dombie answered not at all applying those words it is to be presumed to the partiality and not to the forgiveness and it may seem remarkable in one who is a mother also resumed Mrs. Blimber and such a mother observed Mr. Dombie bowing with some confused idea of being complimentary to Cornelia but really pursued Mrs. Blimber I think if I could have known Cicero and been his friend and talked with him in his retirement at Tusculum beautiful Tusculum I could have died contented a learned enthusiasm is so very contagious that Mr. Dombie half believed that this was exactly his case and even Mrs. Pipchen who is not as we have seen of an accommodating disposition generally gave utterance to a little sound between a groan and a sigh as if she would have said that nobody but Cicero could have proved a lasting consolation under that failure of the Peruvian minds but that he indeed would have been a very davey lamp of refuge Cornelia looked at Mr. Dombie through his spectacles as if she would have liked to crack a few quotations with him from the authority in question but this design if she entertained it was frustrated by Mr. Dombie who is that said the doctor oh come on in toots come in Mr. Dombie sir toots bowed quite a coincidence said Dr. Blimber here we have the beginning and the end alpha and omega our head boy Mr. Dombie the doctor might have called him their head and shoulders boy for he was at least that much taller than any of the rest he blushed very much at finding himself among strangers and chuckled aloud an addition to our little portico toots said the doctor Mr. Dombie's son young toots blushed again and finding from a solemn silence which prevailed that he was expected to say something well how are you in a voice so deep and a manner so sheepish that if a lamb had roared it couldn't have been more surprising ask Mr. feeder if you please toots said the doctor to prepare a few introductory volumes for Mr. Dombie's son and to allot him a convenient seat for study my dear I believe Mr. Dombie has not seen the dormitories if Mr. Dombie will walk upstairs said Mrs. Blimber I shall be more than proud to show him the dominions of the drowsy god with that Mrs. Blimber who was a lady of great suavity and a wiry figure and who wore a cap composed of sky blue materials proceeded upstairs with Mr. Dombie and Cornelia Mrs. Pipchin following for her enemy the footman while they were gone Paul sat upon the table holding Florence by the hand and glancing timidly from the doctor round and round the room while the doctor leaning back in his chair with his hand in his breast as usual held a book from him at arm's length and read there was something very awful in this manner of reading it was such a determined unimpassioned inflexible cold-blooded way of going to work it left the doctor's countenance exposed to view and when the doctor smiled auspiciously at his author or knit his brows or shook his head and made wry faces at him as much as to say don't tell me sir I know better Toots too had no business to be outside the door ostentatiously examining the wheels in his watch and counting his half-crowns but that didn't last long for Dr. Blimber happening to change the position of his tight plump legs as if he were going to get up Toots swiftly vanished and appeared no more Mr. Dombie and his conductress were soon heard coming downstairs again talking all the way and presently they re-entered the doctor's study I hope Mr. Dombie said the doctor laying down his book that the arrangements meet your approval they are excellent sir said Mr. Dombie very fair indeed said Mrs. Pipchin in low voice never disposed to give too much encouragement Mrs. Pipchin said Mr. Dombie wheeling round will with your permission doctor and Mrs. Blimber visit Paul now and then whenever Mrs. Pipchin pleases observe the doctor always happy to see her said Mrs. Blimber I think said Mr. Dombie I have given all the trouble I need and may take my leave Paul my child as he sat upon the table goodbye goodbye papa the limp and careless hand that Mr. Dombie took in his was singularly out of keeping with the wistful face but he had no part in its sorrowful expression it was not addressed to him no no to Florence all to Florence if Mr. Dombie in his insolence of wealth had ever made an enemy hard to appease and cruelly vindictive in his hate even such an enemy might have received the pang that rung his proud heart then as compensation for his injury he bent down over his boy and kissed him if his sight were dimmed as he did so by something that for a moment he made peace and made it indistinct to him his mental vision may have been for that short time the clearer perhaps I shall see you soon Paul you are free on Saturdays and Sundays you know yes papa returned Paul looking at his sister on Saturdays and Sundays and you'll try and learn a great deal here for man said Mr. Dombie won't you I'll try return the child wearily and you'll soon be grown up now said Mr. Dombie oh very soon replied the child once more the old old look passed rapidly across his features like a strange light it fell on Mrs. Pipchen and extinguished itself in her black dress that excellent ogre stepped forward to take leave and to bear off Florence which she had long been thirsting to do the move on her part roused Mr. Dombie whose eyes were fixed on Paul after patting him on the head and pressing his small hand again he took leave of Dr. Blimber Mrs. Blimber and Miss Blimber with his usual rigidity and walked out of the study despite his entreaty that they would not think of stirring Dr. Blimber Mrs. Blimber and Miss Blimber all pressed forward to attend him to the hall and thus Mrs. Pipchen got into a state of entanglement with Miss Blimber and the doctor and was crowded out of the study before she could clutch Florence to which happy accident she stood afterwards indebted for the dear remembrance that Florence ran back to throw her arm round his neck and that hers was the last face in the doorway turned towards him with a smile of encouragement the brighter for the tears through which it beamed it made his childish bosom heave and swell when it was gone and sent the globes, the books blind Homer and Minerva swimming round the room but they stopped all of a sudden and then he heard the loud click in the hall still gravely inquiring how is my little friend how is my little friend as it had done before he sat with folded hands upon his pedestal silently listening but he might have answered weary, weary very lonely, very sad and there with an aching void in his young heart and all outside so cold and bare and strange Paul sat as if he had taken life unfurnished and the upholsterer were never coming End of chapter 11	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ7F6M3VxF0", "license":

UC98CzaYuFNAA_gOINFB0e4Q	Alex Martelli - Testing in Layers	"Testing in Layers [EuroPython 2017 - Talk - 2017-07-10 - PythonAnywhere Room] [Rimini, Italy] The role of automated testing at the heart of modern development and operations is a given. However, the traditional approach to testing, separating too-developer-focused unit testing and (often only semi-automated) end-to-end integration testing—is not optimal in the modern, fluid world of DevOps. Nothing short of full automation is suitable for continuous integration; any “testing” requiring humans has a drastically different place in the continuum of development and deployment and should best be called by a completely different name like quality assurance. Within the realm of fully automated testing, the best approach, just as for other kinds of software, is modular and layered. This talk highlights the proper design of components for testing purposes and explains how such a design lets you compose multiple, layered testing suites that span the gamut from fast, light-weight unit tests meant to run all the time during development, to full-fledged end-to-end tests of whole systems—and, crucially, the often-neglected intermediate layers, bridging the thoroughness of end-to-end tests with unit tests’ speed and ability to pinpoint the location of any problems that emerge, enabling rapid fixes of most such problems. The talk also discusses the use of modular, layered testing components to validate software refactoring, and (when deployed in a load-testing arrangement) identify and validate software (and architectural) optimizations.

Okay, apologies in advance if the presentation is not up to my usual standards, but I'm not used to being chained in one spot. I'm a walker, but there is no moving mic. As I said, probably best known for Python in a nutshell. The third edition is just out, co-ordered with my wife Anna Martelli Ravenscroft and Steve Holden used to be the organizers of the very first Python. But this is outside what I cover in Python in a nutshell. Actually, I would say the Python here is only used for examples. And what I'm trying to show is just about as useful in any programming language you may be using. Because in any programming language, a typical software system can be seen as a directed acyclic graph in which there's a lower layer of modules or services or components, call them as you will, that provides some functionality but don't depend on any other that you've written. They may be interfacing external entities, of course, like a database and a domain name system in this example. There's middle layers, which both depend on some modules and are depended upon. And there's top layers that are not depended on but depend on any other subsystem. So as long as you don't have any cycle in your directed graph, any directed acyclic graph can have its node classified in these. If you do have cycles, you have far bigger problems than I can hope to address. Because the point is the arrows are dependencies. If you have a cycle, it means A depends on B and B depends on A and you're in hell. And thus completely refactor everything, break the dependency cycle. That's much more important than anything else I or anybody else can teach you. So leave the conference and go do that and break your dependency cycles. It's really, really you want to do that. If you don't have dependency cycles, this will always hold. I've had some questions about, wait, multiple top layers? Well, duh, it is 2017, I'm told. So of course you will have an API and a web interface and perhaps a local graphical user interface and a local command line interface. So you will have multiple top level. I certainly hope so if your system is rich and complicated enough. So the next issue is, okay, so we have that thing. Why do we test it? Okay, unfortunately in 45 minutes I cannot compress a few hours' worth of explanation of why testing is the crucial discipline in software development. And I would recommend you go online, find any other talk I've ever given and most other talks given by other people and get those to understand why you really want, why you really have to test. We won't be covering them today. What I'm covering here is the how. Not the why, but the how. The most antique, traditional form of testing. Distinguished tests into white box, meaning tests that are written in full knowledge of what's inside, the components being tested, and black box which is supposed to only use the external connections made available by the components. That has been dropped since a long time in professional practice. It's not a very useful distinction. However, how we do things in the modern way looks like the old way with new names, and it's not much more useful. We nowadays tend to have unit tests, which are really white boxy, typically looking a lot inside the components they're testing, and they're written by developers, for developers just to ease development. Nothing wrong with that, but that's like one extreme, and then we only have the other extreme. Integration tests which are end-to-end, so they do have to go from soup to nuts, I think is a British expression for a complete meal, and will often have stuff that cannot really be automated and therefore need a human being in the loop. If you need a human being in the loop, by my lights you don't really have a test. You have a separate step of your software development and delivery cycle, which I like to call quality assurance. Use a different term than testing, because for my point of view, testing has to be automated. So for a complete end-to-end thing, you can automate tests when the top unit is an API, a common line interface, a web page using Selenium and similar tools, if it's a graphical unique interface running locally, there are some tricks to do that, but you'll never do it right. And meanwhile, what about all the other things we'd like to automate and we'd like to use in a continuous integration environment so that something gets fully integrated and released and deployed only when all tests pass. If there have to be human in the testing loop, you just can do that. Humans are unreliable, not repeatable, very bad at mechanically repeating a series of operations, very slow, very costly. There's a million reasons you must not have humans in the loop of testing. I have a completely different proposal. We have a software system composed of components, modules, services, micro-services nowadays, whatever. It doesn't matter. All the dependencies are all we're looking at, which naturally forms layers. Why not structure our tests in the same way we inevitably naturally structure our software, assuming we make it modular at all as opposed to one big million line program, which I hope none of us would do. In this view, then, of course, we have unit tests. They have to be very fast because they're running all the time. They focus strictly on a component or module or service internal logic so that at the limit you can mock out every dependency. I think they need to be fast. Essentially, above all, it's the top priority for your unit test is make them fast. Then, building upon that, and we'll see how, we'll have higher layer tests, but not on a single big jump from unit tests all the way to end-to-end takes forever test. We'll do layers and layers of testing, as we'll see. You can see this as a pattern language of testing structures. Pattern languages are most understood in this community for design purposes, but they also apply to a lot of other human creative activity, and one of them is testing. In a sense, we're talking about how to design but also how to execute the test. Sometimes I get interesting objections at this point about what you mean fast, above all. I think of fast when I'm doing production stuff, tests, I don't need to be fast, right? Yes, you do. In a modern integrated development arrangement, your tests, your unit tests, should be running all the time in the background. As the system sees you've saved some changes to a file, it should reload that and every dependency and every test that can be affected and rerun them all for you. In this, if that's the setup you have, and I hope so because it really multiplies your productivity, and just about any ID is able to do that today, if you have that and your test, set of tests that has been modified, it takes 10 seconds to run, then if there's any problem, you're alerted within 10 seconds of saving the problematic code. So it's still top of your mind. You can see the error and probably say exactly a duh. See immediately what you did wrong, fix it, and proceed. If it's five minutes, you've lost mental context. You've moved on to another task. You now need quite a bit of time to get back in your mind to what was I thinking when I wrote that, and now you're losing all of that you've done after. Seriously, an order of magnitude impact on your productivity because you didn't think that your test should be first of all fast, fast, fast. Oh, but integration tests certainly can afford to be slow. Well, I have a very recent case study showing why not. Python 361 released candidate one. So what was it three months ago? Something like that. Okay. In the speaker notes, I have the URL to the discussion on Python committers about what was going on. Essentially, Brett Cannon had to announce he had turned off the gating of integration tests on the continuous integration of 361, released candidate one, because they were taking forever. So actually integrating a pull request was getting so slow that the releasing question would have probably come out around 2023 or something like that. If your integration tests aren't fast enough, you might as well not have them. That's how important fast is for your integration test. Okay, there's a difference here because if you are well funded, rich, have general sponsors, you can be running your integration test on a million machines. Well, a million would be a bit of an overkill, but on a lot of machines. So as long as the slowest one is fast enough, the others are running in parallel and everything is rosy. Most open source projects don't have unlimited amounts of machines at hand. So we get charity by Travis or whoever and we can use, I don't know the exact number, Larry Minow since he's been such a sponsor, such a release engineer, release captain for so many releases of Python, but I think it's a single digit number of servers, not anywhere like enough. So you need to be fast, fast, fast. Now, everything that applies to other forms of automated testing still does. I wish I had a couple more hours to recap everything, I probably bore half of you, but so the first thing is, all tests must be reproducible. That seems obvious, but people keep running into problems. One of them is, oh, but I have a human there and get it out or it's not an automated test. But one example, but my module uses random numbers. Well, then make sure that you're able to inject a fixed seed so that your test will actually be doing the same sequence of random numbers. There's some delicacy there because maybe on some cases you're calling the generator five times or another path seven times so the same seed may not actually give, but if you're using random numbers presumably you know all of that and can ensure, keep it under control, much more common. Oh, but my code does something different depending on what day of the week it is or what time of day it is because it needs to do something, if it's between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, do something different out of hours. Well, great, but then you have to somehow fake out the time and make sure to test both, in this case, to behavior so that your program should have in office hours and out of hours because otherwise if you're just letting the time be whatever time you happen to run the test on that's essentially random because you may be running them any time, all the time and many other excellent mandatory quality of tests whether layered or not the fundamental things apply. Now, let's start with some bit more concrete to show what I'm talking about. How do we test this database adapter? Well, the first, maybe I'm just testing my own logic then all I need to do is mark off the external DB component. Incidentally, there's a beginner's talk about mocks this afternoon which unless you're completely familiar with them mocking and patching is highly recommended. It's kind of a prerequisite of this talk but even getting it after is better than not getting it at all. So mocking is fine as long as you are certain you understand a hundred percent of the behavior characteristics of that external DB but there's a second possibility which when feasible can often be better. Use a fake also known as an emulated form of DB. That's local, that's controlled, local so you don't have to pay for network traffic pay or slow down things. It's totally under your control we'll point out some details. Made it in memory because you don't need gigabytes and gigabytes for a test so you can make a smaller version but the crucial thing it must respect all the same semantic constraints as the real system you'll be running in production. What's a semantic constraint? One example that's unfortunately common among various databases after close, the close method has been called on a connection any other, no other method must be called on that connection. If any other method is called then a runtime error will be raised. If this is the way the real DB behaves then it's absolutely crucial that the fake emulates this behavior. So it keeps track of whether the connection is being closed and if it's being closed and some other method gets called then boom, it raises that exception. A mock, of course, will not do that not naturally unless you know you have to specifically watch for it. If you do specifically know make sure your mock does have that because other future maintainers of the code may miss that subtle semantic constraint and if your mock has this completeness it will help. But this is an example of a general problem of mocking. Mock, stuff that you write to help your testing reflect the same understanding of the external system that your code reflects. If you understood that close must be the last method called on the connection then you won't call anymore in your code and your mock will check and give an error if you do. But if you don't understand that the test will pass anyway because the mock will not do the check. So there's a common mode of potential failure between the test not catching something and your code having that defect. The only real solution to that is the fake which will get to again and again there's another talk specifically about verified fakes which I strongly recommend. Okay, incidentally, fake in addition to having to respect all the semantic constraints of the thing it's faking may add others. This is a typical example for something like a database. The fake could say no more than 32 megabyte of data just because it's in memory and that will make it should be enough for testing. Now, given this set of constraints set of approaches this is where I use Python for examples and I assume that the mock module has been taken as a package. I'm not going to repeat this line it applies to all my successive example. I'm using mock first because mock patch is such a great way to temporarily substitute something for a real component and then take it out away automatically. I do that. Unit test.mock offers many ways to do it. I always use in this example the with statement because it's such a natural way to say do this temporarily, end of the with block undo it, whatever. So I'm mocking. I'm using auto spec in the mock talk I believe prefers the spec set and other things. These are specific to unit test mock and well worth pondering and that's why I strongly recommend this afternoon's talk but essentially it makes a lot of sense and I'm going to put in place something that will emulate most anything and for the details of the behavior you set its side effect field. In particular here I'm setting the side effect of the cursor of the connection of the fake database. So FTB connect cursor a big chunk of code presumably split into functions methods whatever which exercise every meaningful path of the application code. Well the code I own, the code I write. Now if what I'm doing is a second layer so using a fake instead of a mock then the typical structure is make the fake with appropriate parameters patch it to say new equal in mock patch instead of auto-spec true which sets an existing object in the other and then populate in this case the database by actually executing for example sequence statements on a cursor of this connection and then the same body of test as before because we've set up exactly the same situation except the fake instead of a mock we can proceed and for full integration test well I presume I start an instance of the database presumably locally like for example on the machine I'm using for test so I can connect so the connection can use Unix socket which is faster than a network socket that I have to use if it was actually on the net and populated somehow maybe just by executing stuff or importing a dump or something so it's got an initial situation and then the same body of test that I was using in unit tests which is where the novelty applies the body of test is a core reusable part of the test for a certain component it exercises all meaningful parts and that must include simulated errors incidentally if you're using mocks or other forms of spies will briefly summarize all the various test doubles later but you can also check what calls there have been, what arguments be careful of not falling into the trap of white box you don't want your tests to have exactly the same structure of the code so that if some innocuous change to the code causes the test to fail that's not the purpose the test gives you confidence that the code is still working so they must not reflect so if it's indifferent whether A happens first and then B or vice versa make sure it's indifferent in your test the extra checks are optional mocks are also always spies so they make it free but you can always wrap anything with a spy to just allow those checks if you're really keen about them so the big point in any case is there's a difference between mocks and fakes and there are many other kind of test doubles unfortunately the classic article in the matter Martin Fowler's this URL is very Java oriented still as I mentioned at the start these concepts apply to just about any programming language you might want to use except of course that to give examples in Java considering every variable must be at least 45 characters long and with several capitals in the middle will take more pixels whatever they from my point of view rather than the important fine grain detail between a dummy and a fake and a mock and a stub and a spy and so on is who owns it who maintains it who releases it a fake the way I'm using the term is something that is maintained and released by the same group who maintains and release the software being faked if I am part of an open source group maintaining and releasing a database I will have a fake version of the database ready for testing of an example of being complete SQLite which comes with the standard library is a perfectly usable database for reasonably small storage like a few gigabytes of stuff but it also has a colon memory colon special word to use instead of the file name it will make the database in memory which can be useful for very small databases but more particularly for tests it's not complete as we'll see it's not the old you'd want a fake so again there's a talk later on validated fakes later this morning which I strongly recommend because it will go deeper into what I can barely mention so a mock is very flexible can simulate anything but exactly because of that it can simulate something you think should exist but it's not what actually exists the fake as a fast limited emulation of the exact set of things that do exist they both should and this is where SQLite will short as a fake of itself be able to simulate any error that is they should be able to be set so that instead of giving a result they will raise an exception a specified exception that's trivial with mock you just assign the exception to the side effect instead of the result but for the fake the fake must have been presented this way or you can kind of hack it by wrapping a mock around the fake for the sole purpose but it gets kind of grotesque anyway the reason is that certain errors in particular which are crucial to be handled correctly are almost impossible to simulate to verify that your code makes any sense except for example what do you do if the CPU catches fire well you presumably catch the CPU on fire exception and proceed to turn down but the point is how do you test that because it takes a lot of CPUs to be burned and it's hard to automate too if you really need to do that by far the best is the CPU on fire and then you check you handled it now moving to a middle layer module what changes well for the pure unit test you can mock out the low level module on which it depends in this case you have fewer risks presumably all the modules and components we're drawing are owned by the same team so there is good understanding around so you don't really risk hopefully you don't, you just need to get your mocks reviewed by the specialists who know LL1, who know LL2 there is however interesting alternative for a mid-layer what if I use the actual LL1 and LL2 in this case there are no further dependencies so no further problems well it works if they're fast enough so you are not too sure if they are that's what time it is for measuring the speed of a specific fragment of code if they are fast enough you don't need to do the mocking that makes, let's work for you if you need to verify at the start you need the same amount of work but then if the actual modules are fast enough, ta-da you don't have to maintain them so you need to go forward remember there are some priming that you need to be able to do in your low levels which include simulating errors as well as whatever else is needed for speed, like equivalent to the colon memory thing in SQLite and this is the schema as again there's a prepare with side effects and then the body or prepare with priming and then the body what about a high level like picking one well then you have several potential chains of dependencies and you can do a pure unit test by mocking out the mid layers you can do a second layer by using the actual mid layers and mocking down below using the real one there's many possibilities of mixing you have to pick a subset because if you try to do every possible combination you suffer a combinatorial explosion and don't get extra useful coverage for your effort so I'm taking I'm picking one set of mocking versus actually and faking and this is the code for that single case so this time you see body of test only once but that's because this is only one of the many layers I recommend so what do you use well the decision depends a lot on the characteristic of your code again mock it probably fastest and least accurate actually it's least work fast enough to be designed to be primeable for speed and other things like faking errors fake is probably best if you're using software which releases it incidentally need not be open source for example Google cloud platform services are all being released with emulators on the side so that you can run your test locally without necessarily I know because I need tech support for Google cloud platform and I really annoy my engineering and program manager colleague by saying every time there's a bug in a customer which could have been avoided if they had run test I go to my colleague and say see he couldn't run test because you didn't release an emulator for this service and that service when can I see it because otherwise I can send you the problems and so on and so forth anyway and one of the choices is to control the complexity sometimes it's not obvious when you say DNS domain name system for most people it means okay I get foo.com and translate that into an IP 1234 that's known as the A record in DNS but DNS has a million other kind of records from the C name to the TXT and maybe you need the TXT record to get the ownership of a domain and so on in which case it's not a trivial mock anymore as would be if you only needed A or quad A records before finish I have been asked a very interesting question but does it apply to load testing well there's a whole thing about measuring performance so it takes the whole afternoon today so you may want to go that but if you really need low test for performance unfortunately it doesn't apply the layering concept doesn't apply fully because you can't really measure based on the layer except end to end so there the end to end is needed you can take correctness for granted it needs to be tested by separate tests and low test but speed if you need to measure precisely you need the end to end you don't want the retest correctness correctness must be tested separately you want to exercise the slow parts the heavy computational or IO parts you can give boundary if you're lower level models you depend on have a service level agreement the kind of 90% of query is completing less than 30 millisecond that kind of thing and you need to guarantee something similar to your users there is an approach which gives you a worst case estimate essentially you can use the intermediate test to measure the actual time spent in your code and count the number of calls to the external services incidentally if the external services don't give you service level agreement then you cannot offer any in turn any single call to one of those could stop forever and this is about the body of test for that on the other hand other question is but can I use this approach when what I want to test is a refactoring of course you can indeed if the refactoring by incidentally refactoring means changing the internals of the code without theoretically changing any of the externally observable behavior if it's all within a module this is the base case all the talk applies entirely to testing that module the you may need to tweak test bodies the body of test just to maintain coverage because maybe some things have gone away and you don't need to test them anymore or something for moving functionality between modules the first thing you do is you change the code and check that the unit tests of those modules at least the one from which you've taken things away fail this is the typical approach of test first but it's automatic because you already have the test before you do the refactoring remember never refactor code without test is what Michael Feathers called legacy code always put some tests in place first but it's unfortunate to have to deal with legacy code so you make the test fail you run the test they automatically fail now you added the test bodies and potentially module mocks and fakes and now they pass check and then the intermediate levels showing that higher level the intermediate tests in the version using the actual lower levels showing the higher level modules are not affected and everything is happy finally one problem with the unit having to be passed is that sometimes not often just checking that a condition was actually satisfied can be two times consuming to fit in the very short time I want my unit tests to run in when that happens what I've done sometimes is dump like in the state of the whole system at the end check only was fast to check and leave a nice blob from which the whole system status can be reconstructed as if I was doing snapshot and restart and then in the background asynchronously just run background jobs which continuously check for sanity whatever is very slow and long to check so well for me that I've started doing snapshot when performance affords even in production runs a production run goes nobody complains everything seems to have gone well but I have a snapshot there and with some probability some random sample I sanity check afterwards once in a while this will let you catch a problem that was just barely hidden didn't hurt your users but you're quoted before it's quoted your users which is by far the best thing and this lets along to question and answer the everything including the speakers note which I've been talking about is in that PDF on my website yes do we have a mic for the questions? one small question what do you think about possibility of using like real database assimilated database that's better? what do you think about possibility to use real database, assimilated database but real database is in memory so when you run unit test you don't start anything you just create new database in memory put few records there and after it will be fast but at the same time it will give you a new database I'm sorry but I mean is there a material difference between what I've written and what I should have written if no then there is no error if yes then of course I can detect it so you need maybe afterwards we can sit down with piece of paper and you can show me an example because I just cannot conceive of one it seems logically impossible if the checks are correct if the checks take too long see the last slide you do them offline okay so if your software is fast enough let's say small enough whatever that means but it still has layers would you say that skipping mocking and faking is a good idea and just doing integration test if they run fast because it kind of gets down a workload of writing mocks and fakes to stay nailed here if your code does pure totally CPU bound computational issues then the speed is constrained by your CPU such code is normally best move to numpy or similar libraries which you assume are correct because no Eric Cramon's most famous quote given enough eyeballs all bugs are shallow with a million users of numpy bugs don't have a very long life there and this has a little advantage that by taking it for granted that numpy is correct you can mock it out without anomalies and your whole test will be correct if as most programs your is IO bound then is where mocking and faking and so on makes a big difference because a lot of that IO may go I don't know to a magnetic disk well if it stays in memory instead that will be faster it may go over the network if it stays local that will be faster and so on and so forth a little bit by little bit you can easily gain order of magnitude by sufficient simulation and thank you how much longer do we have so one, two more questions so it's lovely to hear that your teams produce good fakes how common would you say this is because my experience with fakes sorry my experience with faking things is that the fakes do not exist elsewhere and you burn a lot of time failing to fully understand the system would you say that it is becoming more common you mentioned that your teams you push them hard to produce fakes I want to ask about integration tests what do you think in what detail would you include online distributed services in your integration tests it doesn't seem feasible with CI but then you need to use mocks or some fakes for your online services so I'm sorry the acoustic is a little hard if I understood correctly you're talking about real-time software with some kind of real-time constraints let's assume your DB is on another server somewhere it requires internet connection it's something to run end-to-end integration tests on CI although I'm still not sure I've been pointed the question I believe that generally the more real-life constraints the real software has the more the test will be living in simulated universe fantasy universe things can go well or badly in a simulated and controlled way I normally get asked this about IoT Internet of Things applications where indeed the big deal is how do I deal with a million teeny gadget all over the place well you don't well you do in your code I hope but not in your test even the so-called end-to-end test are you going to have a million rumbos going around a huge room probably not there will be some level of simulation inevitably otherwise the test will be how do you test if my software controls Rocket putting men on Mars how do I test that well not end-to-end because then you have to get them back from Mars real problem	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzOOZxuqSVk",

One way to make sure your identity is safe is to keep track of your credit cards. Well the first thing I would recommend is you don't want to carry all your credit cards with you. Only carry the ones that you actually want to use. That way if you lose your wallet or things like that you don't have to deal with 10 or 11 credit cards. You want to check your statements and your billing daily. If you use it a lot, at least weekly. And scrutinize every purchase. The new thing with the hackers is when they scam your information they'll send a charge through for under a dollar. A lot of people may see that on their statement and just regard it or blow it off. What happens is once that charge goes through it tells them that the account is open and active and then they begin to make other purchases. Large dollar amount purchases.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ8hFhaWEDc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I was like, I ain't know who he was or nothing, but I know... Would you like it? Yeah, because, like, I'm one of the people that still make videos singing, you know, just raw. I just, um, like, when I listen to your music, man, like, you different than a lot of people, man. What inspired you to do the type of music that you're doing on these, like, I think I seen three on the internet that really were sticking out to me, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. What caused you to do that genre of music? Uh, my partner right now, my manager, CEO, whatever you want to call him, uh, Tee Hogan. You know, he was reaching out. He actually had booked me. You know, I had known him, you know, already we had good rapport and all that, but, uh, he booked me for a show and ain't meet. You know, and I'm, I'm like, uh, he went through my partner scan to get me. So, you know, I got love for scan. All right. I'm going to come do it. Um, I didn't know nothing about the music. Excuse me. I didn't know nothing about the genre, nothing about none of that. Cause you were just into R&B. Mm-hmm. But I'm modern, modern day, you know, I'm young, so I'm on what we own. Right. So I'm like, all right. But I said R&B dead. So what is R&B? You said R&B dead. No, R&B not dead. When you think about mode three and, and, and when you think about mode three and, and, and that song, like, like the song that he would sing, I remember you, I just, when we was talking, I'm saying, I bring it up now. How you, you basically, he, he took a liking to you when he was alive. Mm-hmm. Like how did that even happen? Uh, I used to be in the army, right? Okay. Uh, I was at AT. Um, it's like a two week thing you got to do when you're in the National Guard. You know, two weeks while you're out there on board. You know, I was a troublemaker anyway. So I was probably in trouble somewhere. Uh, so, uh, I seen, um, when he did a remix to that Sierra and I. I was like, I ain't know who he was or nothing, but I know. Would you like it? Yeah, because, like, I'm one of the people that still make videos singing, you know, just raw. Just the camera and me and you don't see a lot of that no more. Like people don't be. And he used to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Like people don't be brave enough. Like you got to really be brave. Get in that kitchen. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You got to really let people hear how you sound. You know, Because everybody using autotunes nowadays. Yeah. So it's, it's like if you using a lot of it and you do something like that, you know, they gon' hit a rear. Mm-hmm. So you don't really hit that too much. You know, I was like, man, who this dude is? Because I'm, to me, me and my cousin that I started doing music with, we the only two niggas that still do this to me in my head. Yeah. You know. At this time you were about 21, 20? Yeah, I'm about. I'm 20, 21. Yeah. Yeah. One of them. But, you know, he wasn't as big as he is now. Yeah. Yeah. Two, but I just, I just take a liking to who I take a liking to. Like I'm more of a fan of the craft than, you know, the status and how big you is and all that. So while I was there, I couldn't get it out of my head. I was like, you know what? He gon' remix it. He remixed it. I'm gonna remix the remix. The part about it, you know, it's crazy. I made a mistake and uploaded the first video. Anybody that's saying they know. Like if you making a video like that, by the time you finish, you gon' have like 10 videos in your phone from you starting it over, trying to do it right. Mm-hmm. The video that I uploaded was the first try that I did and I ain't do it right or nothing. I was just trying to see if the sound, the volume was right and everything like that. And you accidentally did it. Yeah. And I switched. I think I got a new phone and I couldn't get my data over. So I was like, man, yeah, I gotta get the video right here. So the one that I picked wasn't the right one. And you were shocked. And I just threw it up, you know, because I just knew, you know, it was the right one. I just threw it up by the time I realized it was like 50K. Mm-hmm. You know, so you can't really take it down. Take it down now. After it's at 50K. Mm-hmm. That's hard, man. It's crazy. I still can't really listen to the video like that because I knew how I did it. I knew I did it way better. You didn't miss that, right? So every time I listen to it, it's like... So what did you go viral on the second time? The second time had to be a party, a birthday party. I did. And it was an appearance. And my manager at the time, he knew the birthday girl. He was like, man, you gotta get up here and do something. Well, man, I'm like, man, nah, man, they paid for appearance, man. I can't be coming out here appearance and hop on stage and come on, man. What this gonna do for me? I'm like, well, you can do something that ain't one of your songs. You ain't gotta do one of your songs. You can just do something. So I end up doing that tank fucking with me. Okay. Now I gotta hear how you sung that. I'm gonna make him sing all day since he didn't get up at all. Yeah. I'm gonna say it right. I gotta get your own boss talk with that. Yeah. How did it go? Let me see. Let me eat it up for a while. Let me through. Shake it, scream it out loud. I'm a fool. Make my face your chair. Leaking everywhere. Ride it on. I don't care what you do. Oh, every time I lick it, you'll be loosening. Trust me, girl. I know just what to do. You got it all on my face. I love the way that it tastes. When you put it all on my plate, it won't go to waste. That's what you get every day when you fucking with me. Yo. Man, that boy there ain't mad. You know what? I'm listening to him. And I'm trying to find fault in your voice and I cannot find it. It's like... He's doing the same thing. You sound so... That's crazy. That's crazy because I got about 25, 30% of it left. That didn't work me since I've been down here. I came down here to do one show. That's it. I done did what? Two podcast, three podcast, two shows. That's hard. Yeah, that's hard. Is he working? That's what you're here for. Dallas loving me. I'm loving Dallas.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzlCpO54zzs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I ain't the pot calling the kettle black I'm the flame keeping the kettle warm and I am the blame for the Renaissance It's cold had the right and recited with down feathers on Black boy tell me how you really feel Cuz I just want to build with you black girl tell me how you really feel I Just want to keep it real with you. Okay. I want to live. Oh, just let me know in a go. Oh go Okay, so I learned you know how I be telling you like how Especially what our black man You know, you want to talk to them and give them attention, but they say crazy stuff. Okay, so let me tell you I Have this one guy in my DM, right? I don't even know this guy. I don't know this guy I Don't know even know why he felt comfortable to even see this send this. Okay first message October 13th boom Can I give you money? Okay, October 14th Can I give you money? October 16th Can I give you money? I'm not responding And you're offering me money You see what I'm saying and guys be wondering like why women be like, oh I want to do to pay this and pay that because guys just be offering it. It just okay So let now we are October 17th, and it's not can I give you money now? It's cannot eat your ASS Wait Why do you feel Why do you feel like this is okay? Okay? October 21st Big booty Can I eat your big booty? Yes And I'm like Still not responding like as you can see through all of these there's no response then he proceeds To send me a video of him and another female What is this? Her back Why do you send me this and then If I had to take a guess I would say just because of the wave right now like everything's overly sexualized You don't see I think a lot of times men get like women My age or older confuse with the Gen Z generation and I've talked to guys who dated younger women and a lot of them just want you to pay their bills and they want to have city girl days Moments, whatever you want to call it guys feel like okay. Well, I'm not gonna approach her this way I'm approach her sexually like To be honest, I wish I knew what would go through a guy mom because I'm like Do you think that she'll answer to you faster if you be sexual? Cuz if cuz that's kind of weird because that makes a woman feels uncomfortable like stuff like can I eat your ass? First of all, if you ask me this how many other females asses do you just eat like You know because you're just willingly Accent so if you sent five girls, let me eat your ass and then all five girls say yes The next question is it gonna be okay? Pull up or maybe it's something wrong with the dude. Maybe he is like a sex addict So he just wants sex sex sex. He don't even care who is from or maybe it could be If I provide sex and money Then maybe she would be more prone to calm my way Because if I wasn't providing this maybe she wouldn't even look my way at all because that's the same message is like Can I send you money to like get pictures of your feet? Then there's one guy Oh, let's not start here. And you know, this wasn't he wasn't mean or anything, but I felt like this was Like a little maybe weird for you to ask me he said Will you be my lock screen mamas? And I'm like, I don't know if that was respect for or not Like I'm an axer. Can I put on my lock screen before I actually do it? I don't know, but I just thought that was like Really weird. Okay, but this is Facebook. This is Facebook. Let me go to Instagram. What's worse? Both If you had to give one the edge Instagram Because they be they be saying some wild stuff, Alan They be saying some wild stuff. Let's see and a lot of this be the same thing. Hey, beautiful. Hey gorgeous Hey, beautiful. Hey gorgeous. Hey Queen hey, like it's just I'm I'm still scrolling I'm I'm I'm scrolling Or stuff like this people do so follow me and then they'll message me like this and say add me beautiful like If I wanted to add you I would have added you you added me But then you're messaging me telling me to follow you back. I don't like that. I don't is that not strange? Maybe it's just me. Okay Okay Like Okay, so if I was a guy and I know a woman's attractive and I know a lot of Men are trying to you know reach out to her first of all, I wouldn't I say hey beautiful? Just because nine times out of ten Every other guy is saying that to I would not say hey queen Because every other guy is saying that and I believe now the guys are resorting to hey beautiful and hey queen Because they see women call herself queen. So they're like well if I approach her Right one. I have to be interested. So if you hit me up once or twice and I don't respond Don't keep writing Don't do that. That is that'll push a woman away because now they're gonna question. Like is he crazy? It's not like why like why do you keep messaging me? Don't tell her to add you? Don't send hey beautiful and now I know guys remember with that I can't even call her beautiful, but it's like you're trying to get this woman's attention and a million guys are calling her that so I would Look at her page and observe and See what she's interested in So like for me, I love plants so if a guy Reach out to me and say oh, that's a dope plant. What kind of plant is that? I'm gonna be prone to answer him even if I'm not attracted to him I'll probably respond to him because he actually is talking about something that I like So I'm gonna be like oh, this is the this type of plant and then he'll be like Oh, well, you know, I'm trying to get into plants, but I don't know You know the best kind of get and then I'll respond like well I have this this and this it all depends on what you're going that can start a whole dialogue But that's because you're you're actually it's to me. It makes me feel like you you're actually being attentive to me right, right if I post something about Dragon Ball Z and Then you hit me up and be like, yo those posters are sold out where you get that from oh That's another conversation, but it's because I'm interested in it. You didn't just say hey beautiful. Oh, hey Because usually after hey beautiful They don't really know what else to say after that So it's hey beautiful. Hey, how are you? Good. How about yourself good? Okay? What's next, but a platonic conversation can lead so many ways just by a guy Coming at me in a way that it shows that you're actually interested Not just you just want something or you just saying what every other guy is saying if You see me post something about Wanting to go out to eat or to a nice place and you say hi well What type of food do you like and then I start expressing what type of food I like and you're like, oh well There's this restaurant that I know You're you're more than happy where or we could get together and go I Could either say yes or no But the fact that you might get a yes actually because it wasn't like oh, let me pull up Oh, what are you doing? Well, let's link. I hate that. Let's link up Let's leave you trying to link because to me I feel like one of that so you try to link it makes me feel like you try Have sex like if you really want a woman's attention pay attention to her Not how she look but what? May actually interest her if you see she like hiking You don't honestly you don't have to know anything about hiking go on Google And look up a hiking place and start to get creative with your conversations You are so beautiful Thank you. I mean that's that's Are you free this weekend? First of all, he said are like the letter are and then the letter you Free this weekend. No, I'm not Well, one a woman don't like a guy that cannot speak correct grammar. So when you say why you are Sub stuff like that that is so unattractive Because now it makes me feel like one you cannot leave because you can't even speak proper English you like It's different when you talk to your friends and you're comfortable and you guys talk your slain But when you just say are you? It's an immediate turnoff. It's a media turnoff. You are so beautiful. How are you doing beautiful? Hey, how are you? Heartface fire sign like Heartface heartface. I love the pics. You look perfect to me Every female that the guys are attracted to look perfect to him. That's a famous line Damn you beautiful. I'm on my way to North Carolina now That's a little catchy But still kind of really a little creepy. It's catchy, but creepy Because it's like first of all I Don't even know how he knew North Carolina because on this picture didn't say North Carolina So he had to go through some stuff to actually figure out that I was in North Carolina because I don't ever post my location I don't know. It's just weird with with guys and a lot of women Coming missing and stuff like that for a guy to tell me like he'll come to where I met it's like Have you already been here like do you have you already seen I don't know Do you get what I'm saying? Like it just it just kind of give a little creep vibes a little bit I don't like that. I don't like it It's catchy because it's like, okay, so he'll pull up He'll pull up, but then it's like at the same time a Woman wouldn't like that But what makes her not like it is the creepiness that goes on and guys like stalking women and like Some dudes actually be watching women and will pop up whatever they're at So it's like a part of me like Hey, I can't even put that past you cuz you probably might pop up for real like so it's kind of like a Mixed feeling because I don't know you it's not like we've been talking You know conversing and having FaceTime calls you like I'm about to pull up on you Okay, come on. I don't know you but Yes Yes, yes As you can see a lot of these are heart faces just heart faces heart faces You're not gonna give me conversation because you're not starting anything I've had it and I can't even find it But I've had a guy who sent me a heart face and I liked it. He's like, that's all you got to say I'm like you didn't start a conversation with me. You just hearted a picture um So this guy oh he sent me a paragraph But I just in my heart I feel like he sent everyone this the morning beautiful I don't quite know what it is yet, but something about you calls out to me I can literally feel the connection the love and the affection the insonancy Happiness and comfort is if you were here in person when I look at your picture I get the image joyfully picking you up when I get to see you We don't know each other, but okay I don't know what it means, but I've never been one to neglect internal messages or instincts There must be something worth the confidence to speak if it has the power to reach at such a distance He's very poetic but it's you ever heard those guys this poetic and it sounds like you're trying to be poetic To the point that it doesn't even sound genuine like how many other females have you said this to? Right, right, right. You see the paragraph That's his What is this is how it make me feel like I Don't know you're so beautiful Then this do Sam damn that's you for real so amazing. So you're asking me is my picture me When you're on my Instagram If that is a conversation starter That will irritate a woman cuz it's like bro seriously You is that me is it I don't know that I don't like that either. I Just wanted to say you look amazing heart heart Fire where you from? I don't know you so I'm probably not now this guy Do you see this? Never responded You ever come to Jersey Flight on me whenever you ready No response so gorgeous One day no response. You're gorgeous Where you from? No response. I never responded to any of them and you you're not stopping And you're probably going to keep continuing to do it And I don't hey, how are you? How can and you haven't even showed us everything but like how can this Really warped somebody's idea of themselves this type of attention constantly It'll make I believe it'll make a woman Feel like she's more than what I'm not gonna say she's not valuable But it's gonna make her feel like she's on a pedestal that she might not be on or love that she might not be on Because it's so many guys, but all of these guys are thirsty Like I've seen the same guys do this and I just so happen to go under somebody else's page and they're under her page, too So it'll make I think they think that they have more options than they really have and that's It's not the case because I'm pretty sure that this same guy So they gonna keep saying it until one answer and that one answer is the one that they gonna go for You just so happen to be one of the ones that he reached out to and I'm not saying the woman doesn't have things going on I have things going on for myself But in reality, I could look through all these messages that's sitting here as you guys can see they're just sitting here. This is They're just they're just there this is and it's because is You have to enjoy that attention And that's the only way cuz the thing is I don't I Personally how you don't enjoy it, but you post stuff on social media It's a difference between posting things on social media because you actually like what you're like this pictures fire The world needs to see this I'm putting it up versus I'm about to post this picture because I'm about to see how many guys actually like this I'm about to see who gonna hit my DMs once I post this picture people do that women actually do that They will post a picture Specifically because they're like let's see who get thirsty this time. They see how weak you are like You're showing that you're weak because You are offering something that you work hard for To a woman just because you want her To give you attention When there in fact is a woman out here If you are not crazy That will actually be attracted to you Why are you trying to get an Instagram model's attention and then you're trying to get her attention with money? I guess it's a Difficult for me to fully understand in a sense because I've Never done that I Well But this is the thing though I Wouldn't have necessarily Now I got to think about this is the woman really using you if you're offering it and she's taking it Because without you offering it She couldn't receive it But is it is she using you now because you're not getting exactly what you thought you wouldn't get from her It's not like y'all had an intimate relationship y'all live together You was doing all this stuff for her and then she stole your money or She made you feel like she wanted you in a way that she didn't you're offering this to her So she's not really using you Okay, so it started off like this so this is the guy so He would comment on certain things That I had going on and originally I wasn't responding because it was going to like my Message request not to my actually the end so He would say things like Where is Gohan? I see the Dragon Ball Z and it's like Okay, he's he's paying attention. He's paying attention, but I didn't respond so then he I did a Real promoting this drink and he said is that your brand drink if so I will cash up you I only Support you and I know it may be corny, but I got your back is what I'm saying That's what he said And I'm like that's not corny Because it's like so you think so now I got me feeling like Has he dealt with someone that made him feel like him supporting them was corny So he got a response from me. I Wasn't responding before and I'm like it's not corny But this is someone else's brand I'm promoting but I do drink the tea on a daily basis And no gohan. I said that and he said okay, never mind. I'm not cheap, but I do see you work You hustle besides your pictures. So yeah, I would have got some from you. I want to support you Only not someone else is what I'm saying. So he was like if it's not yours. I'm not buying it and it's like Okay, because he was on my previous page. I never followed him so One thing that I respect is the fact that he has to be like He said a fan. I don't like that word fan But he has to be a lawyer supporter or he's very interested because he wound up finding me on my new page So I'm like, okay. Okay, and that's that I appreciate that and I completely understand what you're saying and he said if you ever need help or money or anything Just let me know or even breakfast on me tomorrow. Count me in before you start to worry. I know I'm like I know you're like why would oh, I know. I'm like, why would I help her? I don't know It's just the vibe that you give So I'm like Okay, like I still don't like receiving money from guys, but I'm like He was pretty nice. He wasn't too pushy, you know overbearing. It wasn't like that and it it made me feel like He was coming from a genuine place Because he was talking about things that I was actually interested in in the beginning. I told him That I don't know I don't like people don't stop for me But I appreciate when people offer Because you don't have to I wouldn't want you to do anything like that um, I Think I last conversation I was telling you like I had lost my job. So now I'm just like Doing everything I can that I'm talented in or talented at But I mean I've been on my own since 19, so I've always made it happen And that was my response, right? I Could have been like, okay. Go ahead. Send me the money, but then he said I Know it hear me out. Okay. Most people may look at you and see that she has like a nice body When I saw you first the first time I asked are you okay? You get me like no, I'm not I'm trying to read this Because it's right, right. It was like no, I'm not that's a sign now. I asked you like You lost your job, etc. Another sign. I don't even talk to you like that I just see the pictures and see the face. I see it. No, I'm not a psychic um I'm like a behind the scenes guy when times get rough. I'm there That's more dope when you cry. I was there. Oh When you cry, I'm there. That's better to me. Nothing to do with looks or sex I know you are a soft person You mean good. I see it in you if I hit you up to action. Are you okay or you need money? It's because I feel like something's off So it got to a point where he was like look, we're not kids If you need help, I'm gonna help you matter of fact I'm what you eating today I'm gonna send you some money for dinner and guess what? He sent me money for dinner and I was like, I don't want this He was like, I'm not accepting it back. So you have no choice but to accept it We've never text. He don't have my number. Nothing But you know the thing is like Just like it's it's it's innate for women to want to nurture It's innate for men to want to provide and protect Like our default setting is like and that's why you'll see like Some sugar daddy's and shit like that. They don't even be having sex with their sugar babies They just want to oh, I got this extra money. I want to know that somebody is going to this young lady I'm interested Will you be my date for the grand opening of my new club now I follow you I know this person And all I see is him with different women on his story all the time No, I don't I don't I don't want to go my response was oh, no I'd be seeing you with different women frequently on your story. Oh well, and I I don't mean just like talking I mean like Dancing like Like it looked like you're in a relationship with all these women No, I'm not going to be go to your grand opening because I'm gonna just look like another one of those So I said, oh, no, I I be seeing you with different women frequently on your story. Oh, well laughing emoji I'm not trying to be another one on your list He said Worry about the wrong thing all celebrities have fans Well, first of all, you're not a celebrity You're known. I mean you may be a celebrity to some people. I don't know but You saying a fan but you're dancing up on these women you like look like You could probably take her home tonight and do some things for a little bit change You feel me so I'm like I Said It's the wrong thing to you, right But the right thing to me. He said it's cool. You're still young and overly opinionated So I said it's so interesting how you asked me to be your date and once I didn't respond how you felt I should then you turn around and say I'm young and overly opinionated, but I'll take that That's what I said He said this is coming from the chick who turned into a ass model You don't even work out facing the camera anymore. Just your ass shaking my head. I said, okay You see why I said no You couldn't wait to disrespect me, huh? Because in the very beginning You wanted me to beat your date Right, but now that I said I'm not interested Now You are throwing all these things All these like insults at me. So I said if you felt this negative And ill about me why even invite me as a date? I never disrespected you. I just brought up a known fact, but it's okay I hope you have a blessed day love He said it's a fact I said, okay, he said I've been watching your story since I met you and my food truck behind press box Okay I said again if you If you feel this negative Then why asked me to be your date? He said he never answered He just kept like throwing insults. He said until recently you don't even work out facing the camera You just show your ass. He said it again He said they're not negative. They're facts. Okay. I said, but it's okay. Call me what you want I'm still not going to disrespect you. So go for it So even though I could have got disrespectful with him But I didn't do that So he said my mother always said sometimes things aren't negative. You just perceived him that way But did you not just do the same thing? What what kept you engaged? Because I know him Because I know him if I didn't know him Then to be honest, I wouldn't say I wouldn't have responded But because I know him I'm like, okay, let me have this dialogue because I want him to understand like Bro Every female is not going to say yes every guy don't say yes to me But just because I I stayed a known fact if you If you have females in your story You're throwing insults at me because I didn't respond the way you felt I only said one thing to you because I didn't want to be a date to your you could He could have just like okay cool if that's how you feel But instead you just decided to insult the same woman that you just asked to be your date And then you called me young and then you said that I was overly Opinionated so you felt this way before you even asked me. So why did you ask? Okay, so then I said Then he said I said again, if you felt this way, you shouldn't ask me to be your date He said not disrespect at all. You're acting like a narcissist. How did this end? How did this particular like exchange end? Okay, so I'll say this I'ma I'ma add this part and then I'll tell you I said if I'm pushing workouts to help women build their glutes naturally Then of course, you'll see my butt more But if it bothers you, you are free to unfollow me. I've seen your story. You're not perfect. So please keep the insults I said, I'm done with this conversation Have a blessed day and congratulations on your new venture I'm wishing you nothing but prosperity and success heart He responded and I never responded back and he said you're like this dj. I know No matter how much I help him. He still thinks it's all about him, but need people to be successful with anything That had nothing to do with the topic But I never responded and guess what you think he don't follow me No, you think he'd be watching all my stories. Yes That was something called for For what? Why? And you're older than me never brought up the I don't know island. I don't know like I get rejected Men reject me but men do cannot take rejection easily And that's another reason why women carry this so so masculine Because if a guy's attracted to her and she's not attracted he won't just let it go He's gonna find limits to disrespect her It's cool. You're not the only one I would be with I have a few ladies there that that night So You're gonna embarrass me Like bro, really? Do you not think that's crazy? Am I tripping? Okay, so let's keep going because y'all Y'all see me with my hand on my on the side of my temple because I'm I'm still scrolling. I'm still Because I'm still scrolling only because all of these people they're saying the same thing Hey, beautiful. Hey, like it's just all the same thing. Hey. Hey gorgeous One dude said you gonna train me First of all, you say you You gon you gon train me. No, I'm not No island Like Follow me back boo I'm not doing that you Do that four to five four to five a day four to five a day of the same thing like over and over and over and over again And it's just like it's to the point now that I don't even look at them because it it makes me feel like This is just going to be the same thing over and over and over again like it's And you know, a lot of guys say females be so pressed because the dudes in the DM why you got women that don't even be paying attention to that Because when I go in there, it's just like I'm literally scrolling like this It's not interesting not interesting nothing Nothing I do look at the profile picture, but this is the theme I have Like to do this or are you free this weekend are with the letter are you he has a picture with a ski mask on No, you look like you might kitten at me. I'm not doing that like Some dudes I'll go to their page and they'll have like Liquor bottles or their homeboys Uh I'm trying to like This And experiment I want you to go to your profile as if you were Look to your profile and then Do give us like a mini masterclass on how You the male version of you would shoot to the shot at you Okay, so go to your page first It's like that Hmm and kind of talk through your thought process.

UCX3nrxx0QvBLjsN2uU0WS4Q	For-Profit Colleges: Education or Exploitation?	Thomas H. Howlett, Andy Jacob, Christopher Mullin, Richard Vedder and moderator Susan Dynarski discuss for-profit colleges in the latest in the Education Policy Initiative Seminar Series at CLOSUP. November, 2010.	[ "Thomas H. Howlett", "Andy Jacob", "Christopher Mullin", "Richard Vedder", "College", "Education", "University" ]	2011-12-21T17:07:33	2024-02-05T06:07:15	4,845	VZqCRAFVYtA	Hello. Good afternoon. Welcome. My name is Brian Jacob. I'm the director of close-up, the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy, hosting the event today. This is one of a series of public events talks that we have throughout the year, several of them focusing on education policy issues. I'm going to just briefly thank Bonnie Roberts at close-up who has organized this as well as Sean Nelson, Laura Lee, and some other staff at Ford School who have been instrumental in putting this together. I also want to announce to folks that there's a live web stream to the University of Michigan's Detroit Center, and apparently there's an audience who is watching this now at the Detroit Center, so hello out there. And I'm glad you could join us. Also, unfortunately the date that worked for everyone here was the date of this conference called ASH, the Association for the Study of Higher Education. And so many of the people that wanted to be in the audience today are actually at the conference, so we are also live streaming this to Indiana, or wherever ASH is meeting now. So I hope everyone enjoys this. I'm going to now turn this over to Sudanarski, a faculty member here at the Ford School who specializes in higher education research, and she will be moderating the panel. So thank you very much. Thanks for being here. So we're going to go in the order that you see here. I'm going to briefly introduce you to each of the speakers all at the beginning right now rather than pop up like a jack-in-the-box every time they finish talking. So going from right to left here, we have Richard Vetter, and he is Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Professor of Economics at Ohio University. It's not Ohio State, so he can be here. He's got a PhD in economics from the University of Illinois and has been Senior Economist at the U.S. Joint Economic Committee. He publishes widely on higher education, and his articles and reviews have appeared in numerous scholarly journals as well as the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times National Review. Chris Mullin, to his left, is the Program Director for Policy Analysis at the American Association of Community Colleges. He has a Masters of Education from Teachers College at Columbia University and a Doctorate of Philosophy and Higher Education Administration from University of Florida. Continuing over, we have Andy Jacob, who's a principal in ATMF Realty and Equity Corporation, a real estate and private investment company in Michigan, and he's a board member of New Horizons Worldwide, which is a computer training school operator and franchisor with 350 centers in 55 countries, and he's also a governor and treasurer of Cranbrook schools, which is in Bloomfield. Tom's Hallett is going to be our final speaker. He's CEO of the Gugazian firm. It's a Michigan law firm that pursues class actions and other cases. Tom and his colleagues served as class counsel for a class of about 3,000 current and former students in a federal lawsuit in Detroit against a for-profit school, which was resolved last year and is currently pursuing several other class actions against for-profit schools on behalf of students. So we've got a pretty interesting panel who represent a broad set of perspectives, National Michigan within the industry, outside the industry of for-profits, and we're hoping for an interesting discussion. Each speaker is going to speak for 10 minutes, and then we're going to start asking questions of the panel and start a good discussion. Thank you. Thanks, Sue. Delighted to be here. The growth in proprietary or for-profit colleges is, in my judgment, the single most important institutional change in higher education in modern times. Not only do enrollments of these institutions constitute a tenth or so of total enrollments, but a much larger proportion looking at the margin as high as a third of the increase in enrollments in recent years. Now, I was brought here, I think, to point out some positive dimensions of this important force in higher ed, and I will do so, but I have to say some things that make my friends in the for-profit sector rather uneasy. First, this sector's rapid growth is a byproduct of a highly dysfunctional and irrational system of federal financial support of higher education. Let me just barely touch on two problems with federal financial aid today. Professor Dinarski is the expert on this. First, much federal aid, notably the Student Loan Program, is tied in part to the amount of institutional fees and charges, a system that sometimes works to incentivize schools to raise those charges. If institutional tuition goes up, the subsidized student loan to students goes up as well. Second, there is almost no conditioning of the aid to on either actual student performance or unexpected student performance based on such good predictors as high school grades or college entrance examination scores. Students who are very unlikely to succeed are given as much aid as those who are much more likely to be successful. Now, it's true that for the for-profit institutions disproportionately serve students whose academic background is more marginal than average, although there's a lot of heterogeneity in the field, as we will hear later, and proponents of student college access should applaud this general mission of the for-profits since these schools are helping an underserved portion of the population get a chance at a higher education. Thus, the for-profits in a way are at the forefront of those actually doing something to achieve the higher graduation rates acclaimed by President Obama and others like the Lumina Engage Foundation. The for-profits are under frontal attack these days. We're told horror stories that undoubtedly are true in many cases of individuals with extremely weak backgrounds being enticed into schools on the basis of misleading claims about probable results. Default rates on student loans are relatively high among C students and we're told the proposed new gainful employment and state licensure requirements will help stem abuses. Yet I think an objective evaluation of the evidence and, admittedly, the evidence is extremely limited owing to a lack of good performance measures in all of higher education. But I think a look at the evidence that Isabel gives a more nuanced and mixed picture. Before even discussing it, it's important to remember there are vast institutional differences inside higher education and even looking at means or millions of data often obscure important truths. Moreover, it may not make even sense to look at a statistic that compares students in a class of institutions that includes, for example, Harvard College with students in a group that including, say, Ashford University, a mostly online university attended mainly by working adults. That said, however, most aggregate statistics that I look at that compare the for-profits with public or private non-profit institutions do not show the for-profits in particularly bad life. The last data I saw for example show the for-profits have slightly higher retention rates on average for full-time students than new public schools. And with respect to part-time students, the for-profit retention rate exceeds that of even private non-profit institutions. Although with respect to four-year degree programs, the for-profits average lower graduation rates than comparable non-profits, for other programs that isn't necessarily true. I think a more sophisticated, multivariate statistical analysis that controls for such things as student academic preparation, test scores, income, and the like, I think this type of analysis will not and does not show clearly that the proprietary institutions are particularly or peculiarly deficient with respect to student performance. You can't have it both ways. You can't push for more, less qualified and academic sense students to pursue post-secondary education but then punish those institutions that cater to these needs when they falter for whatever reason, when the student falters. Now much has been made of the fact that default rates and student loans are higher in the for-profits. What would you expect? They charge on average someone higher tuition than non-profit community colleges and for-year universities simply because unlike those institutions they're getting no public subsidies. Indeed they pay taxes. They are more willing and eager to take the very lower income students that are the most underrepresented in the college population that the administration tells us is far too small. The total cost of educating students at for-profit institutions in general is lower than at alternative schools. Another reason why we should rejoice that our debt-ridden and financially precarious governments have been able to turn over a growing percentage of the job of financing expansion enrollments to this sector. True, a disproportion portion of federal student loans goes to students at for-profit schools but these schools are paying funds to our government to operate rather than receiving them. The total governmental burden per student on average is lower at for-profits than other institutions especially for-year schools. Now the Obama administration wants to impose new rules on the for-profits that knowledgeable observers believe will at least temporarily significantly reduce their growth. We'll mention two of them and come up again. The first relates of course to gainful employment. Under proposed rules students would not be eligible for federal aid at schools where a majority of the students have dept of earnings ratios at seating 8 percent of total income or 20 percent of discretionary income whatever that is. And the school can also meet these gainful employment standards by having 45 percent of the former graduates paying down the principal on their loans. And you know on the face of this this seems pretty reasonable to me and certainly the principal having some consequences for widespread abuse and non-payment of obligations is a sound one. But there is a problem which I'll come back to in a minute if I have a minute left I think I do three four. I have tenure by the way so I'll keep talking. A second and more ominous development is the attempt to add additional and costly hurdles to entering the higher education business. In addition to requiring accreditation it is proposed that online for-profit companies get authorization to operate in each of the 50 states. I think this is an absurd expensive role that will force smaller online operators out of business or severely restrict their operating authority. In a government that revels in centralized power the sudden interest in states' rights is ironic but completely in keeping I think with the general sort of anti-private enterprise orientation of the president administration. As an economic historian I have to point out that 186 years ago the Supreme Court in Gibbons versus August eliminated the state of New York's ability to use its chartering powers to restrict competition in the steamboat business. Now the Obama administration wants to turn regulation of internet based teaching over to 50 state regulators on top of the feds and national and regional accrediting agencies. I think it's anti-competitive, anti-consumer, anti-education, anti-business, anti-porpersome and minority in short this proposal is unambiguously and manifestly stinks. My main objection however to all of this is the lack of neutrality in the whole thing a basic principle in economics treat everyone the same level playing field we're sealing out one type of education. What went far less than one out of every four Pell Grant recipients earned degrees in a timely fashion at such schools as Wayne State, Chicago State, Cleveland State, Cal State, Los Angeles or the University of Texas at Al Pacino why shouldn't their students be barred from getting federal aid as well. At Chicago State the six-year graduation rate of Pell Grant recipients cannot be as high as 12% and is probably in the single digits. Why not impose standards not only regarding lowering payment but also on academic performance on all higher education institutions receiving taxpayer funds not just one portion ironically that portion that uses fewer taxpayer dollars and most clearly serves those students of the government professors it most wants to help if we're going to increase accountability fine but let's have a level playing field. Thank you. Before my friend starts I have a few copies of a study that my assistants gave me to bring up here and I have to get rid of them or I will not be left back in the office in Ohio so please feel free to pick one up it's on the industry. Well good evening everybody my name is Chris Mullin I'm from the American Association of Community Colleges where I serve as the program director of policy analysis and after that introduction what else can be said. I too was asked to kind of paint a landscape and a picture and I'm going to try and do that is with data and show really what's going on in the country in terms of enrollment and graduation and completion at a large number of public private and non-profit institutions and we'll start the discussion there. So again I was asked to kind of put it all out in data what the sector looks like and what higher education looks like and when we start to do that we start to realize that the for-profit sector is a very different sector than the rest of post-secondary education. First let's look at institutions. Now if you look at this chart from 1986-87 to 2008-2009 you see a rapid increase in four-year institutions at the for-profit level. 35 of them existed in 1986-87 the number now is approximately 540 give or take how they report to iPads but over time what we've known is is that this sector is primarily comprised of smaller institutions. If you look all the way to the right you'll see that nearly 1500 institutions of less than two years in duration exist right. We have approximately 902 year for-profit institutions and 539 four-year. Now these definitions are National Center for Education Statistics definitions. They come from from the US Department of Education it's based upon the highest degree level that the institution offers okay but what's interesting too is you look at the distribution of students so how many students are enrolled and a large number from less than 200 students are enrolled in these institutions so when you compare one institution like we'll hear about later that has might have less than 200 students to a large institution like maybe a Chicago State or somewhere that has a broader mission or a community college that has a broader mission and serves large numbers of students or provide some more academic programs it gets kind of hard right. These comparisons can get very difficult very quickly. By comparison to be as balanced as I can this is what the distribution looks like at public two-year institutions public four-year institutions and private non-profit four-year institutions okay. So there's a difference obviously and just a notice we move through this to make things as comparable as possible. There are community colleges that offer baccalaureate degrees NCSS NCES counseling is four-year degrees so there's some overlap there but when I talk about community colleges it's the public two-year as defined by NCES okay and that has implications for the number of students we enroll in things like that so these might be very very a little bit from what we you might hear otherwise but essentially like I said this makes comparisons extremely difficult. As it relates to enrollment between the fall of 1998 and the fall of 2008 there's been a lot of growth right. The for-profit sector has grown from 334 thousand undergraduate students to 1.2 million which is a percent change increase of 270 percent. Now at the same time community colleges have have grown from 5.2 million students to 6.6 million students or 1.3 million student growth so in real numbers we're serving more and more students percent's changed are growing a lot quicker. What I found fascinating when I start to look at the research and dig into the research and part of the reason I released a policy brief two days ago that says just how similar community colleges in the for-profit sector. My job at AACC is to inform our members of timely topics. I read quarterly policy briefs every three months a new one comes out this is a kind of a timely topic and therefore I wrote a paper about it to help inform our membership. But what I found interesting when looking at the other sector which kind of for me and I'm still routhing within I don't fully understand the large number of full-time students that enroll at for-profit institutions when we hear the narrative that it's the working student and and those types of things it's there's kind of like this disconnect for me and I just don't fully understand it. What we see at what would be most comparable to community colleges which are your for private for-profit to your institutions I think it's 88 percent of students are enrolled full-time. Now this is going to have implications for graduation rates. You take that with your short-term programs right and what you have are an obvious result of higher graduation rates right you're taking smaller smaller schools full-time students and shorter-term programs as compared to community college admission which is much more diverse and broad and it's really hard to say that we're just the same or we do the same thing right. When you look at undergrad enrollment and for-profit and public tier institutions by race and ethnicity you said community colleges enroll the vast majority of minority students in the nation right. I circled over there the public two-year which is our community colleges and the middles are public four-year. Now I think in fall 1990 yet it could be incorrect as for-profit institutions enrolled approximately eight or nine percent of all students. Some cases their cumulative percent right the 4.8 plus two would be less than eight percent for American Indian, Alaskan natives and for Asian-native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders but higher than eight percent for Black or African-American so I do enroll a fair percentage is what the data shows right compared to the overall share in the marketplace of eight percent. So the there's been rapid growth this decade in the for-profit sector as we are aware of. Community colleges enroll a greater number of part-time students and community colleges serve the vast majority of minority populations. As it relates to completion this is where things again continue to get a little bit different and where we can talk a little bit. In 2007 community colleges awarded 515,231 associates degrees right which is 60.5 percent of all of our sub-baccalaureate awards. For-profit senior institutions are more engaged in the certificates as we talked about before. About 35 percent of their awards were associates degrees. They can rely more heavily on certificates not saying it wants better or worse but they're different in terms of you're talking about time because what we hear often is our graduation rates are better. Our graduation rates are better. Well if you're on a short-term programs with full-time students one would hope based upon how you define graduation rates in the time of 150 percent that they would be better. Which leads us to the next slide or next conversation is that oftentimes we hear about this 22.1 percent right. Community colleges have a 22 percent graduation rate. We have a 59.7 percent graduation rate. We do so much better job. Well that doesn't include our whole mission right. Community colleges serve both for degree awarding for transfer function. We serve students who are coming back to retool for the job they're currently in. We serve students who are looking to change jobs. We serve students who are home from the summer from the four-year institutions who are looking to take a course or two to catch up or to get ahead or save money. So it's broader but that's 17.8 percent is often overlooked. So that still puts us at 40 to 60 which we'd like to be higher but acknowledging that these measures were developed for four-year institutions. HEOA 2008 has put the other committee on measures of student success to try and re-examine the best way to measure what community colleges contribute to society and further students. We are an undertaking a voluntary framework of accountability that's looking at data not only along academic progression but also workforce outcomes and we're having conversations about student learning outcomes and how do you really do that which is another topic for another day. Tuition and fees again it's very different now the cost per taxpayer thing we can we can debate and argue that for a long period of time. If you look at some of the calculations and some of the reports that are out there the way that accounting standards work for federal reporting Pell grand dollars at for-profit institutions are counted as tuition and fee revenue. So all of a sudden there's no taxpayer money going to these institutions. That's not fully accurate right. It doesn't count for loan money either. At public institutions they just counted as a scholarship or counted as another another way it's to fast and gas me and we can get more into that it's part of my brief now. But it is to say that it's cheaper now the big concern obviously is explosion in the use of Pell Grant funds at for-profit institutions and some of the practices that have followed that. The Senate Help Committee has said that this is widespread and it's examining 15 institutions we just don't know. I can't sit here and say is it the somebody who's a trained analyst that I know for certain is widespread. They found it and I think the 15 of the 15 institutions they visited so and you know how much is that really case we're not too sure but it is wasn't every single institution that they visited. But you see a large growth of 254 percent I'm not trying to point to that. No I'm not going to be able to do that. All right at the proprietary for-profit sector compared to 79 22 growth over 10 years. This is what it looks like and this is what it looks like. The graphic is sector shares right. Again community colleges educate 44 percent of all students in the country right. For-profit institutions do less and I'm getting a signal so we'll kind of move ahead. Only 25 institutions receive 40 percent of all Pell Grant funds. This is the concern right with our federal loans community colleges only 10 percent of our students take out federal loans because of the way we finance and structured we can talk about the high tuition high aid low tuition debate compared to 88 percent at the for-profit sector. But this is the one thing I want to get to before a head out is so on on the blue bars are the total unduplicated headcount for an entire year right the 0708 year and the graph on the left is for all public institutions with 18.6 million students enrolled throughout the whole year unduplicated headcount and at all for-profit is 2.6 million yet they have the same number of people falling into default 104,000. So in terms of the magnitude of people entering default it's the exact same across sectors yet the public sector serves 18.6 million students the for-profit sector serves 2.6 million students and that's a concern for because of the implications of default on the students and individuals not let alone the society right that comes afterwards. If you look at community colleges not we serve 20 times more students than the for-profit two-year sector right we had 49,000 people who borrows who went into default that 35,000 so it's not exactly flat level but it's pretty close and pretty pretty near the same. These are the default rates as we talked about or you've heard about before I'm sure we're at 10.1 percent the for-profit sector at the bottom is 11.6 for the whole sector 12.4 for less than two years 12.6 for two years and 10.9 for four years and lastly as we know coming down the way there's there's ways to get around the cohort default rate to extend the time the student actually gets into this this metric or this area and so they're moving to a three-year cohort default rate and when that happens you see the numbers change substantially so that that'll be coming the next couple years here. So with that I'm happy an appreciative opportunity to be here and talk with you and I look forward to any conversations we have. Thank you. Good afternoon my name is Andy Jacob and I am the for-profit business person that came on this panel. I'm not at all worried because we don't take any title 4 money so we didn't do any of those bad things that they just talked about. What we do in the for-profit sector is we're primarily a training company we operate 300 training centers around the world in 55 countries we're the largest Microsoft training partner in the world we are also Cisco training partner of the year last year. We've looked at the accreditation model many times we have an application in we're not sure we even want to go that route but because we turn away 10 consumer students and a consumer student to us is someone who is not attached to a corporation because we turn away 10 consumer students for every one we accept we are looking for different ways to train people who want our services but can't afford to pay for it with their own dollars. So what are the benefits of for-profit education? Well from our point of view the first and most important reason students come to us is accelerated learning programs. We can take someone and put them through our training modalities and we can get them certified or get them trained to a skill level in less time than traditional educational operators. There's more focus on the student need we're more concerned about whether the student has had a good experience we use something called metrics that matter to measure student satisfaction with both the program the environment in which we train and the instructor. Any student who doesn't give us at least an 8.5 out of a 9-point scale gets a phone call from one of our quality control specialists and determine what was really wrong with the program. Most for-profits have a very strong career and job focus and the students in surveys cite that as one of the reasons for coming to for-profit institutions and to us at New Horizons in particular. We also are very flexible in how we schedule. We publish a a public schedule of all our courses it's on a global website and we basically have any sort of training certification that you can imagine for IT and it's available usually starting if not every other week at least once a month. We have different modalities that we use to train our students we have something called mentored learning which is a self-paced learning environment that has a certified instructor in the room if the student encounters any difficulty in this self-paced program he can signal the mentor the mentor comes over helps them get through the difficult portion of the material and keeps the student focused in on a certain schedule. There's also breakout sessions periodic assessments and so on a lot of students like that because they can come in at eight o'clock one morning and spend a couple hours and come in at six o'clock the next night spend another couple hours so it's a very flexible way to get a certification. We also have online live which is basically our distance learning modality and that's becoming increasingly popular with the students it's very much like a traditional instructor led classroom except that it's virtual and of course we have iLT instructor led training. Now the interesting thing about for-profit education is that we have to push these different flexible modalities because we're really catering to the needs of the student and we don't take title four so we're not bound by the strictures in those regulations so basically we give students what they want and the interesting thing about what's happened over the last three years is that I'd say three years ago 75 percent of all of our training was delivered in the traditional format instructor led training and today 70 percent of our training is either mentored learning or online live and I think this has tremendous policy implications for where education is going in the future adding new program this is something that for-profits I think also do at a much more rapid rate than the traditional not-for-profit sector in our company the 10 most popular programs that we have today only two of which we even offered nine months ago now we're an IT we're a special case but in fields where education is evolving rapidly with regard to course content I think the for-profit sector does a much better job of keeping up with the demands of the students and the demands of the marketplace I think for-profits also do a good job with job placement now I can't speak to you know the for-profit sector as a whole except you know the statistics that are published by organizations like ACICS which accredits a lot of for-profits which report you know mid to upper 70s placements but we at New Horizons have a job placement rate that's over 90 percent now bear in mind though that a lot of our students come to us from corporations and they're already employed they're just seeking to upgrade their skills in terms of public policy considerations it seems to me that the innovations that for-profits have undertaken in the education field and the strong marketing efforts that they've undertaken over the last say decade has brought a higher percentage of people into post-secondary education and I think whether you look at the 18 to 24 year old group or the 25 to 44 year old group and it's that latter group that we serve at New Horizons there is a higher percentage of both of those groups today engaged in post-secondary educational activity than ever before and I don't think it's a coincidence that that has occurred at a time where the for-profit sector has grown so precipitously online delivery is something that is uniquely suited to the for-profit sector and really something that I think the traditional sector while they dabble in it is never going to push fully and the reason is this first of all public colleges and particularly community colleges which derive some 70 percent of their funding from state local and federal governments usually have a mandate to serve a given geographic area what we've discovered with our online live delivery is we have students really from all over the eastern and central time zones sign up for our classes I don't think that a community college in the state of Michigan for example is going to really garner a lot of students from Florida, Mississippi, Ohio and so on and still satisfy the governments that fund them to the extent that they do so there's a natural limit to how much I think the for-profit the not-for-profit sector is going to push this kind of technology furthermore when you look at traditional colleges and you can take University of Michigan as an example not to pick on them but I think it's pretty typical U of M has about 16 million square feet of buildings that are used for the campus and the educational effort they have another 12 million square feet approximately of auxiliary buildings but if you look at the 16 million square feet and divide that by the 40 some thousand students that comes out to about 400 square feet of building physical plant for each student now I know over at the raw school because I made a donation there that building costs about 800 or 900 a square foot traditional college buildings are probably upwards of 500 a square foot that's about 200 thousand dollars of investment for every student that sits in class there's obviously implicit subsidies that go into that space because they're financed with usually public money they don't pay real estate taxes and so there's really no level of playing field between for-profit and not-for-profit education the reason that this is important from a public policy standpoint is unless you look at all the cost inputs you really can't decide what the most effective way is to educate someone going forward when you want to get a higher percentage of the people involved in post-secondary education there is a limit to how much money that's there's going to be available you want to make sure those dollars go as far as as you can make them go scaleability is another factor because the for-profit sector doesn't invest so heavily in fixed assets they can scale up and scale down much more readily especially because there's a large component of online delivery going on so there are criticisms of the for-profit industry basically from where we sit you know we're not subject to those criticisms because we really answer mostly to to the corporate sector if we don't do a good job the 60 percent of our repeat business won't come back and repeat so we have a big incentive to to do it right the first time but it's interesting when you look at the spending data and and chris was mentioning on the tuition side how the tuition is so much lower at community colleges when you look at the data though from spending from 2006 2007 the two-year public colleges spend eleven thousand six hundred dollars per full-time student equivalent during that period and the for-profits schools spent thirteen thousand eight hundred and forty eight dollars so it's sort of interesting that they've spent more money per student during that period than the two-year public community colleges all in all i'm very much in agreement with rich when he says that we have to consider all the inputs all the cost inputs in order to determine who's really doing the best job and and i think from a public policy standpoint what's going on in the debate is really counterproductive to determining whether or not students are being well served by both traditional and for-profit education thank you good afternoon i'm tom howlett i'm a attorney here in michigan i graduated from michigan law school 20 years ago and uh practicing law back in michigan now for about 12 years and for the last uh five years my firm which is a plaintiff oriented firm representing people and families who uh have claims arising from misconduct of one kind or another one of the types of cases that we've been handling has been cases arising from claims of fraud and deceptive trade practices and breaches of contract by for-profit schools we hear from dozens of students each week who have concerns about something that's happened to them in a school i did tell andy that we've yet to hear a complaint about new horizons so he is not anybody that we have any concerns about but as a result of the work that we do we have gained a little bit of understanding about the problems that arise in for-profit education i want to try to touch on some of them today i wanted to just share with you the kind of model as i understand it of for-profit education it's sort of a three-legged stool as i as i view it one is uh the the uh the owner of the school has to devise an educational product to sell and it's trip it's it's frequently uh training in a career path as opposed to what the traditional public uh colleges would offer the second leg of the stool is a cred a securing accreditation from an accrediting entity and a license from a stating which you're going to operate and then the third leg of the stool is revenue which typically comes from either government loans title for funding or a private source this the slices private lender but to be a little bit more accurate although it often is salami or private lender it can be just uh i mean some schools that are out there look to employers or individuals to pay for it and we do represent people who have tapped out 401ks or whatever to to go to a for-profit school in my experience then there are five problems that i would i would want to touch on today that arrives in the for-profit education realm and the common strand in these problems that arise in my view is a lack of transparency in other words these problems while they exist are not clear to the student who is making the decision to enroll and commit you know typically thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars to a program and the five problems i'm just going to touch on this afternoon are problems in accreditation and licensing problems with credit transfers problems with the cost of the programs problems with the sales targets that exist in the admissions process and then finally problems with actually measuring placement and enrollment in these programs with regard to the problem of accreditation and licensing students have a basic understanding that they should be going to a school that's accredited and licensed but the they don't understand the gaps in weaknesses that exist in our accreditation and licensing system here in the u.s. as an example the state of michigan has a agency that that theoretically regulates and does license more than 400 proprietary schools operating here in the state it's actually 450 schools and it's up from about 250 just 10 years ago but they only have a handful of regulators available to enforce state quality standards and resolve formal complaints in fact it's it's my understanding from having spoken to somebody at the state agency recently they actually have two people that that are responsible for for doing inspections at these schools who've been under travel restrictions due to state budget cuts so they haven't been able to visit the schools and as a result it's difficult for them to even meet their their goal of visiting each one of these schools every three years so that's the regulatory framework in our state for doing a site visit as a state regulator to see if a school is is doing its job there's similar gaps in my view in in the accrediting agencies in the united states there are at least 70 different accreditors out there recognized by the department of education who can give the the stamp of approval that a school needs to claim it's accredited and then turn around and eventually apply for title four funding if they want but the accreditation recreditation process at these entities varies widely in this breach in my view we have things like what we're encountering in one of our cases right now which is a defendant we are pursuing claims against that claims to be accredited by the international accreditation agency for online universities very official sounding name it's our position based on our research so far in the case that they have no physical address on earth we have been asking and asking the the company that claims to be accredited by this entity to just tell us where their creditor is based anywhere on the globe so we can go and ask some questions and we're still waiting for an answer and you know again from my perspective representing students that's just a problem a your typical student is not equipped to deal with when an entity is saying it's accredited you take them at face value and you have no basis to know who really is accredited them and what that means we also have a problem of credit transfers in for-profit schools and the problem really is that students only discover really after the fact that the credits that they are earning are ones that they can't use to further their education to another institution it's basically in a problem with an inability to transfer credits and this is something that's not covered clearly enough in the admissions and registration process it will be sometimes mentioned in the fine print of a catalog given to a student at some point during their registration but it's certainly not anything that is is described clearly to students during the admissions process as a result you have people for example not to pick on Ohio or anything but in Ohio who are who are currently pursuing associates degrees who applied science associate degrees of applied business either you know our sort of basic understanding would be that means that you can perhaps then go on and get a bachelor someday but it's in cosmetology or massage therapy or something like that and even though they have an associates degree it's not the type of associates degree that allows them to enter a four-year institution as a junior another problem and a significant problem is the comparatively higher cost of programs and for-profit education and it only becomes really apparent to students once the disappointment is set in with a particular program that they have been enrolled in an example of that in which we are currently dealing is a school called computertraining.edu which for 15 plus years offered six-month training programs preparing students for Microsoft certification tests they were basically preparing students to take tests that allowed them to become Microsoft certified IT people and they also represented that they would offer ongoing placement services in the IT field to their to their students and graduates basically lifetime career placement the cost of the programs six-month programs was $28,000 and in December of last year the schools in a hard economy with problems and with their private lender and other problems simply closed all their schools midstream students were enrolled in programs and there were thousands of graduates out there who were expecting to get a lifetime career placement it's no longer available. There's a problem with sales targets in admissions and this is something we really haven't touched on today but truthfully at many for-profit schools admissions reps and enrollment counselors are basically sales persons it's not unlike those great scenes in Glengarry Glen Ross with Alec Baldwin and Jack Lemon you have student you have you have people having to meet daily weekly and monthly quotas for sales the students are turned are referred to as leads perspective students are referred to as leads if you can get them in the door they're called to sit for an interview for a meeting and if you can get it convert a seat into a start you've achieved something in one of our cases we learned that one of the ways that they try to generate leads was by having a free nacho stand in a hallway of a school where if you if you as a student gave the admissions department and the name of a friend that the school could contact you get a free plate of nachos obviously in this kind of environment there's it is right for misrepresentations one of the problems that exists out there is that there are per capita payments made for getting prospective students in the door at call centers people are given a an amount of money if they can get somebody from the phone line into a physical office for for a meeting with an admissions counselor we've had a case where the admissions reps who are compensated more than their professors received training trips to Aruba Key West and other warm climbs in the middle of January here in Michigan and some of the executives at these schools are offered cash bonuses if the enrollment targets of the schools are exceeded so result one of the primary problems is what what is called negative reverse selling the illusion that there actually is an admissions process at a school when in fact there really is none this is a excerpt from an internal document in one of our cases where it's described that that the most prominent technique in admissions is negative selling reverse selling tell the person the prospective student not why you should come here but why should we let you into our school there are essays that sometimes are a requirement of the admissions process why should we accept you and this young woman says thank you for taking the time to read my essay i hope you will accept me as a student at your school well the truth in the case was as it came out in deposition testimony these admissions these essays were never read in the admissions process there you needed to have the person fill one out but they were never read by anybody so as i said they're in truth low or no admission standards this is testimony from one of our cases this is the director of placement he's asked what qualifications does someone need he says my understanding is g ed or high school equivalent and eligibility for financial aid question anything else maintain a pulse was his answer so another problem is with the final problem that i want to touch on was is with the measuring placement and employment at for-profit schools and the metrics for success of these programs are very difficult to gauge there's a real difference between graduation rate and placement rate and neither is very clear to a student enrolling in a school you can have a 10 percent graduation rate at a school that may still claim a 90 placement rate because they're just placing the students that graduate and and they're successful in doing that and so people don't necessarily know what questions should be asked and they're not getting clear information in the admissions process at some for-profit schools graduation rates are often not disseminated even to employees and in this depth this clip that i'm going to play for you which is just about a minute and a half long there are a handful of officers directors or employees of a for-profit school with a reported graduation rate reported to the government of 10 percent testifying under oath they do not know what the graduation rate of the school is the final person in the clip is in a a vuncular looking guy baldheaded and he'll he'll finally come out and say what he understands that whoops the graduation rate to be let me see if i can get this to play if you can be a core point of 10 percent okay is that number consistent with your general recollection of the graduation rate you know anyone being across the campus who's involved in type of a graduation rate you have an understanding as to what to do how the academy was very kind of a graduation rate for the you're indicating a number i've forwarded to you which is 10 seems slow you well 10 percent with a whole fine with the school's management accurate graduation yeah i would i would not think so what what percentage of students who start the academy for the time of your work they're graduated okay so finally that gentleman testified under oath that the graduation rate in one of the programs at his school was eight percent placement rates which i as i said were different than graduation rates which are often not known at all are also can be elusive what does place in a job mean well it's often in some in some schools interpreted as meaning employed in any job including the one that the student had at the time of enrollment so if you're in a job if you're working at the time that you graduate from some for-profit schools you're considered place in one of our cases this included a waitress at a golf club and a post office custodian each of whom are graduates of a paralegal program but they were counselors counted as being placed because they had jobs um in a case we had we asked the director of placement about these impressive statistics for a 35 year period they'd had 3,595 graduates and 3,511 had found jobs over 96 or whatever that works out to do you know whether those are accurate the director of placements testimony was i have no idea so some of the some of the rates that are even given to students are are elusive and that's why in my view the the federal government move towards some sort of gainful employment rule makes sense i just have a commend this article this op-ed piece by jeremy den in the new york times to you he is a professor at a for-profit school in denver and among other things his view is it's disturbingly easy to get accepted receive thousands of dollars in loans and then flunk out with crippling debt and no degree to show for it the business model for for-profit schools may pay off for shareholders but it clearly isn't as effective at educating students from my perspective i'm inclined to agree with that and that's why i think the the regulatory effort at the federal level right now is is a good thing thank you provocative information and comments so if any of you have questions right now we can we can take those or i can get the ball rolling if you don't have any at hand yes seems like most of the concerns you bring up yeah i think that that's probably true and the for-profit area you do have the issue of the cost of the education being substantially higher in the debt that that we're talking about a student having incurred being greater but i mean and i think from a public policy i'm certainly i'm just a lawyer trying to help individual people i'm not a public policy person i would say the one reason maybe that that from a public policy standpoint it makes sense to approach the for-profit sector first is the the loan default rates being so disproportionately high but that but i agree the problems that i'm pointing out are ones that might exist in the public sector as well i think professor better wanted to get in here yeah i love that question come to my university and i'll give you 12 hours of credit without even working uh uh not really uh uh do you get nachos for that the very dan quote was great because exactly this goes to the the student point it applies to every could apply to thousands of institutions you know what the four-year graduation rate reported by ad pads for the university of texas at alcaso is four percent not eight percent four percent now sure there probably isn't as much on average federal money going to that school per student as at some for-profits all of their sum but what about the university of what about the state of texas is a subsidy of the school which is thousands of dollars per student probably uh i think it's a universal problem i think we need a more accountability of higher ed i absolutely agree that there are uh scuts balls out there that ought to be thrown out of business and thrown in jail do whatever you want with them but at the same time let's create an equal a level playing field let's treat everyone the same and that's all i you know i'll answer briefly with all due respect i disagree with the with the sentiments expressed i don't think you're going to have those types of admissions practices or or or or to see it happening at public or nonprofit institutions i just i don't see it happening i don't i don't see anybody saying well let everybody in but i'm gonna act like you can't get in so i would with my commenters up on the stage uh why only a four percent graduating at the university of texas al-paso i haven't studied institutions i can't well i can't get to so maybe their mission policies aren't particularly pristine too you know it's possible it's possible we don't know that so we can't stay for fact and it doesn't speak to the the question let me interject for a quick question a quick point i was told to repeat the question for the people who are watching online so the the question that elias uh laid out was um it seems like a lot of the practices that were described might also operate in the traditional public uh in private post-secondary sector and so why should we be concerned about those as well so chris keep going i'll keep it short so we can answer a lot of questions well i'd like to add a little something to that um first of all i think from a public policy standpoint you have to admit that uh the quality of the students you're admitting are going to impact all the ratios that you come up with the graduation rates the placement rates the default rates um i i know this from my experience and all forms of education that if you want to improve your statistics at a school fast become more selective and and if that's what we're trying to measure here then the things that the department of education proposes are fine uh i don't think that's the point many of the many of the comments that tom have made uh has made go to what i would call federal trade commission type issues you know these are things that happen in every business we have a law now in michigan and i remember when we didn't that you have to get a written estimate at a car repair facility before you uh before you are obligated to pay them if they don't give you a written estimate they do the work you don't have to pay them there's all sorts of disclosure issues in every business that lead to poor business practices the question from a policy standpoint is what kind of education is taking place in those institutions if that's a proxy for bad education then that's a fine metric but if it doesn't go to the quality of the education and the and that the student is getting those are different kind of business issues that come up in every business situation chris want to get one more quick well i i just i don't want to be a combative here to hold the time that's not the intent i think that the education is valued for everybody but i would say along your selectivity point is an emerging trend a lot of the analysts predict that there's going to be a decrease in for-profit enrollment over at least the next year until these regulations play out and we see what happens we saw decreases from you know phoenix that decreases and what what i find fascinating i think would be great for the researchers in the audience because i know our audience here is researchers is um the role that predictive analytics play an opportunity i think that these uh the large publicly traded institutions that have like the catholic commitment and the the uo p three-week orientation we know from research that these you can predict within the first three weeks whether or not somebody's going to be successful or not so it's like this post entry admission type of idea right and so as some of these institutions start to become more selective they're going to try and make their money from what i read in terms of the sdc reports and their their statements in terms of the retention idea so this idea of now they provide access for some groups but they're pivoting and shifting so i think that i think in these chronicle recently wrote a report on they're really shifting the way that they operate i think and it's going to be fascinating to see whether or not those predictive models uh the responses to to interact with uh academic advisement to help these people be successful or to have only the institutions of completion rates go up i'm going to insert a question that has been um sent from the audience at the u m detroit center um so the question is mr jake have said that the for-profits can train people faster than the traditional sector um what data supports this statement that data is really um strictly from our company from new horizons i don't have any direct data that is for the industry as a whole except a study that was done i think in the mid 60s that was done by the national center for education statistics and they said back then that there was like a seven month difference based upon completion rates of associate degrees but given the rapid growth in the industry since then i'm not so sure that that would hold true today but but my comment was basically based upon our own experience and the overlap that uh we have with some of our courses with community colleges in the markets that we serve right i mean we provide contract training and non-credit training too that's very short term as well and so we we operate in the same space so it's it is hard to say the non-credit data isn't fully there yet so it's hard to hard to track besides an anecdotal institution by institution basis so i don't i don't think that can be a generalizable statement but it but it is true in certain places possible yeah this is this question is for annie jacobs uh in the next two years uh what areas does new horizons see that will be downscaled for training or education the question repeated is uh for annie jacobs uh what aspects of your business to you see being downscaled we we don't we see in the next two years that the demand for it training is going to increase dramatically um that's partially due to where we are in the refresh cycle with the microsoft products that make up a lot of our our training business but also the move to um using more and more uh internet for everything uh increasing band width requires new router technology voice over ip technology um hacking i mean we do a lot of work with ethical hacking and security things these are only increasing almost geometrically so we we see from the it training standpoint of vast growth in the business over the next few years yep back there this is a question i think for all the panelists although we've brought on by something that's big which is spending from people um anybody have any figures on what percentage the for-profit colleges what percentage of their total outlay is for marketing you know i'm wondering if your figure of 13 000 per head included marketing or whether it was just a solely very cool well that question uh relates to spending for pupil and the for-profit sector versus other schools and in particular how much is spent on on marketing and i can see rich uh flipping through his report kind of finance mechanism while he while he cheats i will i will it's hard to tell now the cost for instruction is very difficult too because we talked before about accounting standards and different things are categorized different ways so just to pull a number from the digest of education statistics and compare the numbers you can't really do because the difference is in accounting standards what the senate help committee did find was i think up to 31 percent was spent on on marketing if i remember correctly so uh we did an informal survey very informal very quick of just 12 of our colleges so by knowing them i yeah but about two three percent of our budgets comparatively the there is a much higher percentage spent on what you call marketing in the for uh uh profits there's no question about it uh 2008 2009 ipeds data is it isn't broken out exactly marketing there's a category for example student services academic and institutional support that is as much as 60 percent of total spending uh uh in the private for profit and it's more like 30 percent in the private non-profits and even lower in the public uh part of that though is not marketing part of it is other things including placement and placement uh might be argued as an important student service but i you know i i i'm talking to annie rosen and kaplan and other schools i'd say quarter of their budget goes for marketing yeah that includes those numbers also include incentive payments and stuff like that so that number of the percent decreases a lot right which is again which is what makes these comparisons so extremely difficult when you're talking about the finance data it's got another hand up over here congratulations bring a lot of these down um could the community colleges scale up look up to address that need the current student million students that are uh being in for profits and then the 20 percent growth that they're having so let me repeat the question for you so the the question is about the um whether if if indeed regulation kind of um constricted the for-profit sector could the community colleges fill in and take those students well it's important to understand that the gainful employment regulations would impact about seven percent of community college students uh currently so you know there would be some some capacity there or currently in the process now of understanding capacity or institute at our institutions uh in terms of a physical capacity a funding capacity and those things so i don't have any answer for you at this particular moment uh clearly there would be some people who who would need access especially when have public four-year institutions capping enrollments so it's a question i think that's a valuable question that we need to understand better right i want to kind of go back to some of the proposed uh changes kind of gainful employment rule um and partly to kind of summarize kind of what is the essence of that again i know uh professor better started to do that but also i'd like to hear the perspective of the panelists on what uh are the potential problems with the proposed rule and what would be a better rule if one could decide and that's for now kind of assume that it could be applied equally across uh for profit and not for profit uh institutions okay so we're asking right as asking that um the the panel uh tell us what they think of the gainful employment rule as currently proposed in a particular if it were applied to all institutions um what do you think are its its strengths and its flaws uh what's your dream list where i'm there are some problem there's some significant definitional problem i think sue probably knows better than i do of what they are of for example because of the heterogeneity of the the types of institutions how do you treat uh certificated programs vis-a-vis two-year programs vis-a-vis four-year programs in assessing uh something like this where you have quite a different mix in the different kinds of school that's just one example of a problem that you get into when you try to set a uniform rule of i'm often wondering why you don't carry the program on if you were if you're worried about the federal outlay of money being the federal government not getting its money back which is essentially what's partly at stake here why aren't you looking at pelgrims too of in a more dramatic systematic way and looking at people who receive pelgrims who which are grants not subsidized loans in in in many cases uh oh why aren't you putting more emphasis on pelgrims than on loans uh pelgrims are a greater amount of emphasis that's another concern i have but the biggest concern i have is and let me use the university of michigan as an example since you're of a big shot here brian uh or at least you you started the session so i'm assuming uh i'm trying to up his profile yes uh and we have a world watching this on the internet his vita is available on request uh the university of michigan is university viewed as one of the greatest public universities in the united states uh someone's saying the greatest its success arguably has come largely because it has been very successful in turning customers away its success has come because it's turned down people the poor profits have a different way of measuring success and their way of measuring success is how many people can we take now they're taking them for great pecuniary reasons but they're taking them none the less and so to them are taking in less qualified students as a virtue and not a defect and i think that if you're going to have gainful employment rules you need to reconcile this problem that we have namely that in higher ed we don't know how to measure anything the university of michigan isn't really any good or not i have no way of knowing because they don't provide us any good information to let us evaluate that just to speak to the gainful employment question that led off uh the response again the gainful employment provisions as i understand it is a way to operationalize this term gainful employment that's been on the books for a while and so they're looking how can we define that right it's nice to say there's gainful employment so their scope and what they can address is is nearly fit to those institutions that are responsible to provide gainful employment right so dear point spread it out everywhere that's kind of taking one idea and and running all over the place with it those of us who work with data i've been fortunate to in my life to be able to work with workforce data and understand that the workforce outcomes of students and moving along no it's very difficult there's a lot of considerations at AACC we're on our voluntary framework accountability if you anybody who's looked at you know ui wage data or data from sole proprietors from ssa or military and trying to link all those and put them together it's extremely difficult so it's a it's an admirable task i guess to operationalize something that's kind of just been out there for so long but but it can be it can be challenging i think the problem with loan default measurements are the same in education as they are in any other business the higher the debt load the lower the income of the borrower the higher the default rate that's just axiomatic whether you're a home owner or whether you're a student with a student loan that doesn't necessarily talk about program quality when congress authorized the higher education act in 1965 they could have said look as a condition of getting a student loan you have to undergo a credit check we have to make sure that you can pay us back they didn't do that they didn't do that because they want to maximize access to post-secondary education the problem that we have here from a policy standpoint is how do you determine which program is doing the job and which one isn't and to use a proxy that relies heavily on demographics and other statistics to try and measure that i think is a failed proxy there are other parts of the game for employment regs that to me should should be completely unobjectionable including requiring uh institutions to provide prospective students with graduation and job placement rates and that is something that definitely does not go on and why the graduation rate of a school should should not be completely transparent when you're going through the admissions processes beyond me and you know so i'm hopeful that something like that certainly will go through and then i guess also just to maybe expand the the answer you know the game for employment which is the one that's getting the most attention and the most uh public discourse and the most uh marketing directed at it by the by the for-profit schools and full page ads in the new york times and what have you um yet you know there are also other changes that are a foot that will be implemented uh that i think are great including eliminating a bunch of safe harbors in the incentive compensation realm that uh you know will i think put a stop to some of the problems that really do exist at some for-profit schools including a safe harbor for example that allows managers and supervisors at for-profit schools to get bonuses as long as they're not that relate to enrollment as long as they're not directly involved in the admissions process uh giving bonuses to incent to internet-based companies that drive students or prospective students drive leads to schools but aren't then involved in the admissions process having incentive-based compensation of those internet companies is currently a safe harbor that doesn't violate the rules that's being eliminated and then eliminating token gifts is being eliminated which will end the free nacho program i think i'm going to put in a question so i'm going to abuse my my privilege up here so uh i've mostly studied the traditional pro-secondary sector much less the for-profit sector and i was struck um tom when you were listing the five problems that you see in the for-profit sector that so many of them had come up in um discussions of the traditional sector so shopping for accreditation also occurs in in the non-profit sector for example issues of credit transfer so articulation agreements between community colleges and for four-year colleges are a huge problem in most states and students at community colleges have difficulty taking their credits to to BA institutions employment outcomes we know very little about them in their traditional sector as well and of course private colleges are quite expensive so i missed the fifth one but in any case you get the point right so there are a lot of the same problems in the traditional sector and my the way i'm starting to think about it is that perhaps the problems are quite similar but in the for-profit sector it hits the student directly in the pocket because they're paying for it and we don't notice it in the public sector so much because essentially a taxpayer is paying for it you know so the fact that it's so cheap at a community college or at a you don't believe it but it's actually cheap here relative to say harvard is because the public sector is subsidizing it and so the risk is spread out across everybody and no one student necessarily sees and pays for the bad outcomes so discuss who you asked everyone i suppose there's a question in there yes yes anyone well you're absolutely right so it's an asymmetric information i don't know what it is but connoisseur has fancy terms to describe it um it's a question of visible versus invisible costs uh students see what they're writing they're writing check they see feel the pain uh the taxpayers a whole do not feel the pain at least that they know but they don't know what the pain is uh from the losses on these loans and so forth so there's a tendency where there's a bunch of people who are visibly lost losing they get agitated they hire my good friend at the end who i'm sure is a great lawyer who will win the millions of dollars uh they do a lot of of things because they're very upset uh but the losses to the rest of the public to uh in the traditional sector are invisible they just aren't aren't aren't aren't seen and christin in your answer can you also respond in part there's a question from the um detroit center which is how much um uh is contributed per student in public funds so how much the state federal and local entities contribute to the cost of community colleges that that varies across states in 25 states there's local property tax contributions and there's different schemes that come down and what not um so it's really hard to to to say exactly um kind of an average i can't you know i can't say off the top of my head i reason why i stay away if i cost per fte calculations generally is um is fte's are are accumulated credit hours and um it gets tricky when you start to think about total costs and comparisons um due to due to the way the differences right we talked before about the capacity and the gas being how things are counted and not counted um it's not easy there's there's been a lot of cost studies on the shio state higher education executive officers just talked about cost per student and for instructing students that it's one and a half times at an upper division undergraduate that it is for teaching lower division undergraduates including people at community colleges so the cost is less but in terms of actual number itself i can't tell you off the top of my head okay that is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and the problem with education is uh as we've all talked about is there's a lack of data there certainly is a lack of disclosure probably across all the institutions and there's a lack of good metrics to evaluate program quality that are delivered in a way to the consumers that they can understand what they're getting for their dollar and until those things are rationalized and solved across the entire industry for profit and not for profit you're not going to have a rational educational policy i'll use my brief comment just to respond to your question i do think there is one difference and chris talked about it and i think it was the one bullet point that you weren't remembering that i attached on that is the sales targets and admissions and that i think is the real the real distinguishing aspect of for-profit schools and the fact that an admissions person's job depends on converting someone from a sit to a start is sort of the game changer in for-profit schools that justifies uh different regulation	{ "url":

UC2TXq_t06Hjdr2g_KdKpHQg	Hacker Variety Pack	Hugh Daniel, John Gilmore Lucky Green, Sameer Parekh, Ian Goldberg, et. al.	[ "Camp", "1999", "cccamp", "99", "chaos", "ccc", "Vortrag", "science" ]	2015-05-22T22:02:43	2024-02-05T07:29:21	3,692	VZ0HSOMf01I	Hi, my name is Hugh Daniel and my voice went away with a frog this morning. So I'm not going to, I'm going to try not to talk very much. Excuse me, you don't believe it. Okay, let's start the panel. You better believe next time, right? There's a large gap of one Atlantic Ocean's distance between many of us here in the tent and all of us up here on the front table. And we've been wondering kind of what the different hacker communities are like all over the place in the world. I've traveled the world a little bit this year. I've been to Singapore. I've been in Europe now for several weeks exploring the place. And now we're kind of turning tables and we're going to give the people of Europe or at least the hackers of Europe a chance to find out what some of the cypherpunk lives are like. Because one of the things we noticed is that the media at least, if not our own community, often has this attitude that there's one hacker and that's the baddest, meanest cracker dude on the block. I can crack anything and he gets all the girls and no one else does. Well that really is true. No, no, no. Or she does. Really at least in our community, the cypherpunks community, it's a much more varied community than that. We really don't have the entire cypherpunk community here. But out of the 15 or 20 core cypherpunks that have made it here, we've got a small sample of them up here to talk a little bit about what they do and why they do it and what they're going to be doing next. And to kind of give you an idea of the different ways there are of at least being a cypherpunk, if not a hacker, and give some people some, really honestly, to give you some role models other than Kevin Mitnick, which might not be a bad role model, but it's certainly less effective than Son at the moment. I want to start off mentioning, first off, because I have very little voice, I'm just going to try to prod these guys and I could use your help. So if anyone has a question, raise your hand and I will mark you and try to get you up when whoever's talking is done speaking. We're going to start off, though, by playing a game. And this is a game you all played with kids. There's four people here. And I'm going to read, excuse me, Lucky Green is a little late. He's off dealing with some personal matters. He will be joining us in a few minutes. So there's three other people besides me. There's four people up here. I didn't lie to you. So I'm going to start off in reading four job titles. And you're going to try each one of you to guess out of the four job titles which one belongs to which person standing in front of me. So connect the dots. We have sitting up here a philanthropist, a classic American businessman, an industry association leader, and an applied cryptographic scientist. Those are the official titles. I've got some better titles. Plays a cryptographer on the net. Agitator, like running capitalist dog or whatever the title should be there, you know, your classic thing. And Loose Cannon. Those are a little more descriptive, but they're purposely just as confusing. So while we're doing this, you try to figure out who's whom. Why don't we start off with Ian Goldberg. Ian, let me ask a question. How do you get interested in crypto? That's actually a neat question. Okay, now let me ask another question. Go ahead. How do I get interested in crypto? So unlike the way actually a lot of people go about this, where they get into crypto primarily through studying mathematics and things like that and end up in using cryptography to achieve computer security or privacy or whatever your goals are, I actually came from it the other way in my undergraduate degree actually was both in mathematics and in computer science. And one day I was just sitting around and decided I wanted to know how NFS worked, so it was an early undergrad sometime. So I went and read the RFCs and I went, oh my God, because it just doesn't. NFS stands for no-f security. Oh, it's only local radio. You can swear. I'll swear later. Okay, yeah, and that basically got me started into looking at exactly the current state of computer security around internal networks, external networks, and I went from there to examining how to fix things and cryptography is the important tool that we know about to do this, and this is where it was a really good thing. I had a mathematical background and I could jump right in and, as he says, play the cryptographer on the net. I think you just gave away who you are. I wonder how you can tell me. I think it's the goatee. All mad scientists have goatees. Is that true? That's true. Okay. And they're front of stroke. So how did you get into your current position and what is your current position? What is my current position? Oh, I have a couple of them. Among my favorites. I'm a PhD student at UC Berkeley where I do research into things like privacy enhancing technologies, so things like electronic cash and re-mailers and using the internet pseudonymously. That last bit has been spun off into a company called Zero Knowledge Systems based out of Montreal, Canada, where there I hold the position of chief scientist and head cypherpunk, so it says my business card. And basically that company is just commercializing my research as fast as I can invent it, sometimes faster, which is odd. So the idea is that I come up with ways to make the internet more secure for certain values of secure. In this case, we're talking about in the realm of privacy, music, so that you can go online, you can browse the web without having every one of your click-throughs logged and all this data mining fodder available to anyone who wants it. That I think is an interesting project, coupled that with some nice anonymous electronic cash stuff, which we also know how to do, and we're often rolling to the races. So that's how you intend to spend your ill-gained wealth? At the races. So if I had any wealth, I wouldn't be a grad student. What sort of work do you do these days? So I concentrate mainly on finishing my thesis and, at the same time, getting this zero-knowledge systems product forward, which I'll be talking about on Sunday, except for this summer, of course, so I'm just taking the summer off because I like having fun. So you would describe your daily grind as figuring out where the next party is? This summer, yeah, while throwing them. When you're working, what's the sort of work you do? What's your daily real work seriously like? There are a lot of difficulties involved in fielding a large privacy-enhancing network, and they range from network operations to host security and everything in between, and there are lots of problems that even if I don't need to solve all of them myself, I at least need to be able to find someone who can solve them and arrange that all the important problems be solved, whether or not I personally do each one of them. So what's the best thing that's happened to you because of this work? What's the best thing that's happened to you? Hey, you know, I'm talking... Oh, you don't have to tell us her name or anything. You wouldn't think you'd need to bring bondage gear to a Linux conference? So what's the best or worst hack you've pulled off recently? The best or worst hack I've pulled off recently? Oh, what's the recent? I think the GSM stuff was pretty cool, but that was like last year. Can you describe it? Well that was when we found a flaw in the algorithm used to authenticate GSM cell phones to the network, and thus we were able to produce clone GSM cell phones. We discovered that back in April last year, a year and a bit ago now. How long after the GSM specs became available? Did it take for you to notice this flaw? Yeah, that was the thing. GSM's been using this algorithm for like 10 years, but the algorithm was secret. Of course, that makes it stronger, right? So security through obscurity. So as soon as the algorithm was leaked or reverse engineered, as soon as we got our hands on it, it took my office mate and myself about two hours to find this flaw. So it's like, we're just grad students here. I mean, if they had published this algorithm 10 years ago and it was made, hopefully some grad students working on it would have noticed this flaw and they wouldn't have this problem deployed in 80 million cell phones worldwide. Now, of course, there's an interesting coda in that just recently they announced the GSM consortium, announced they're working on Comp128-2, a improved version of Comp128, also designed in secret and not being published. So we'll just wait and see. What do you want to do next? Graduate. I can hear that one coming. Is there anything else? Grad student life is fun. I've been in school now for like 22, 23 years. And I'm done now. Well done, I would hope. OK. So since the cat's kind of out of the bag, you now know who our applied cryptographic scientist is. Next, I want to introduce you to our classic American businessman. Now, I want a show of hands since it's either one of the people on Ian's right or left, who thinks it's the person at the far end of the table? Clap your hands. Enough, enough. And who thinks it's the person immediately to my right? What a bunch of wishy-washy people. That was a split exactly even. Well, welcome to Mr. Samir Parakesh, our classic American businessman. Yay, yay, question. Samir, how do you get into your current position? How did I get into my current position? I took a plane to Germany and I walked into the same house sitting here. I mean, why do you hate me so that you're trying to embarrass me? OK, so, I mean, I just told my life story of my current position. The question is kind of weird. Talk so I don't have to. OK, so. I like your first question better. OK, well answer the first question. How did you get into such an equipped app? So in 1991, I was a high school student in Illinois and I thought the government was grand. But then, but I was using a bunch of board systems in Chicago. And then one day I went to school and my friend came up to me and said, dude, the BBS got busted. I'm like, oh, it sucks. Panic. And so I panicked for a few minutes and I was like, whatever. But then I started doing research and I learned that the RIPCO BBS was this small board system in Chicago. There was nothing particularly interesting going on. People were trading their files and their wares and whatever. But the big thing was that the Secret Service took all of the equipment but they didn't press charges against the owner. And it's actually legal to take all of the owner's equipment without pressing charges. And so then I realized that the government sucked. So after I realized that the government sucked, I got really depressed and I was like, oh, the government sucks. What do I do? But then I learned about this thing called cryptography. And I read an article in Scientific American about how you could use this public key cryptography thing and how it was very cool and all of this. And then I read all these articles about how cryptography will stop the government from sucking. At least sucking you, right? Well, so that wasn't very well worded. How you can avoid the government from sucking you, yeah. How you can prevent the government from sucking in your life or something like that. So then I got interested in cryptography. Are you ready for your speech before the Rotary Club now? Totally. I'll make sure I drink heavily before that, too. Don't worry, that'll be like all the rest of them then. So anyway, I got hooked up into the cypherpunks and I thought that was all cool and interesting. And moved out to California, did the whole Berkeley school thing. And that didn't last very long. I decided to quit much earlier than Ian. Well, Ian's not quitting. He's actually going to graduate. But, and then I started a company. I ran my company for a while. That was a lot of fun. I have some stories. My company was C2Net. We do the web server called Stronghold, which is pretty popular. It's like the number one fully encrypting web server available worldwide. And I've done that. I did that for a number of years. Had what? And that's been interesting and exciting. And lately I've been doing a lot of different things. I have a job as a security consultant. I'm involved with the company I started as this chairman. I throw parties. And I am involved with some MP3 streaming stuff for DJs. So when you're not partying, dot, dot, dot, what sort of work do you do? What's your workday like? What sort of problems do you solve? What's my workday like? I do, I solve a bunch of different problems. At my company, which I founded when I was working there full time, I had a lot of different, there were a lot of different problems. I was in charge of the company. So I had to deal with everything from sales, marketing, development, human resources, legal. One of the most interesting problems I think I solved was the way in which we had to sell. I wanted to sell my products to everyone because then I could make the most money. But the US government didn't want that because they have We could have the most freedom. Yeah, they don't want people to have the most freedom. So in order to be able to sell my products to the most people, I had to set up development offices in two different countries and two different continents in the UK and Australia. And I had to set up an office in Anguilla, which is three miles off of St. Martin in the Caribbean, in order to hold the intellectual property. I had to learn about international tax law in the United States in order to figure out how to avoid being taxed five or six times on the income that was generated worldwide. And I dealt with multiple attorneys in multiple different law firms, in multiple different countries, in multiple different time zones. And so I had to stay awake from the end of the UK business day in the morning in the States to the end of the Australian business day in Australia. So I sometimes had lovely 18-hour days of phone calls to the UK and then phone calls to Australia and conference calls and all of that sort of thing. I've solved problems with personnel. I've had people complaining about how they're upset, how the company was running or whether or not they were going to quit or whether they were going to ask for more money. I've got to hear one of your programmers now. Tell us about the phone part. And so that's one of the more difficult problems to solve because it's very interesting when you've got a company and you're trying to go in a certain direction and everyone knows you're trying to go in that direction. And everyone has the common goal, but there's always conflict over what the right way is to get to that common goal and resolving those conflicts and getting everyone to work together towards the goal is a difficult problem. Those are a few problems that I've been working on solving. Cool. So since you've become a cypherpunk, how did you find the cypherpunk community? How did you find out about this? I have to say, I know Chicago. I was born there. And it's a long ways from California. How did you initially find that community? I initially found the cypherpunks because in my high school in Illinois, I became upset at the government. And I started becoming involved in a whole bunch of libertarian leftist activism stuff. And I got interested in drug legalization. And I started publishing a newsletter in my high school about drug legalization. And that was a lot of fun. And the cool thing, one of the cool things, I actually didn't take drugs when I was in high school. But anyway, so I was publishing this newsletter. And I was involved with the internet at the time. I actually didn't have an actual internet account. I had a dial-up account on a machine that had a UCP connection. And I was on Usenet all the time. And I was on TalkPolitics drugs. And I was on TalkPolitics EFF. And I was posting to these lists, to these Usenet groups, about what I was doing. And I was getting people telling me, ah, cool. Here's some ideas about how to talk about drug legalization and all sorts of things like that. And through doing that on Usenet, a bunch of people were telling me, oh, do you know about cryptography? Here's the deal with cryptography. It's great stuff to let you do this. So I got involved in a bunch of mailing lists. And those mailing lists afforded me to other mailing lists. And those mailing lists afforded me to other mailing lists. And then eventually, I found the cypherpunks mailing list. And so then I started talking to the people on the cypherpunks mailing list. I knew a bunch of them were in the Bay Area. And so I thought, well, I'm graduating high school soon. I can go to UCBundles. I can go to Berkeley in Berkeley, California. Or I can go to Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh. And Carnegie Mellon is a really good school. And it's great for computer science, but it's in Pittsburgh, which is all the way on the other side of the, not all the way, but almost all the way on the other side of the country. So I picked Berkeley and moved to Berkeley and got hooked up with the cypherpunks card in person. And then a year after moving to Berkeley, I started my company. What's the coolest single event that's happened to you because of your work? Coolest single event. Lifestyle change of moving to California. Oh, that's tough. Well, work on it. There's been a lot of cool events. All right, what's interesting enough so I can like, you know, sit here and cough on my own for a minute. Okay. Okay, I think one of the really cool things, I can't say it was the coolest event because a lot of cool things happened, was that I was talking to this reporter one day and it was July 4th, Independence Day in the United States. And actually I was talking to him on July 3rd, but then he was like, oh, I wanna talk to you some more. Let's talk tomorrow. And July 4th was like a Saturday or something. So we met in a cafe close to my house in Berkeley. And we said hello and stuff. And I was like, oh, this is a cool holiday. You get to celebrate overthrowing the government. And so he wrote his article and some time later, a photographer came, took some pictures that were gonna be used in the article. I was like, cool, getting my picture taken, media horror and all of that. So that was all very cool. And then one day he sends me an email. He's like, oh, the first printing of the article has come out. I'm gonna FedEx it to you for next day delivery. I think you'll get a kick out of it. And so I get this article in the mail the next day and I look at it and say, oh, wow, that's my picture on the cover. And I look at what it says and it says, this guy wants to overthrow the government. By cool. So I open up the article and I look at the lead quote and the lead quote says, I really like this holiday. You get to celebrate overthrowing the government. And I thought that was cool. One of the really good things about that article though was that on the left facing page, you've got a picture of me talking about how cool it is that you get to celebrate overthrowing the government. And then on the right facing page, you have a picture of the chairman of Citibank talking about how cool it is that you get to overthrow the government. So that was a pretty good article. What are your plans next? I don't know what my plans are next. I'm still figuring that out, so. Anyone with a good business idea, we have a businessman here for you. Anything else you'd like to say? Anything else? Not particularly, no. No, okay. So back to the crowd here. At the far end of the table, one of the last two people is a hippie agitator and one of the others is an industry association leader. I'm trying to do this step. Which one should we talk to first? Okay, Lucky. Well, you're up. Lucky Green is an industry association leader. An upstanding member of his industry, causing many companies to work together in building better components and widgets to be sold upon the widget market, if I remember correctly. Yeah, hi there, Lucky. Lucky Green, and perhaps I should recap somewhat my involvement with CypherPunks as we discussed earlier. There's one common thread that I think you will find going through CypherPunks, and that certainly is anarchy with a big capital A. I've been an anarchist as long as I can remember, a very active anarchist. Sometimes people ask me which government I wish to overthrow, and the obvious and only answer that I can come up with is all governments. So this anarchist tendency certainly permits CypherPunks and it has very much from the beginning. My background in the field of computer science actually is not computer science. My degree in fact is very much removed from computer science. My background is very different than computer geek. However, I quickly became aware that cryptography was a very good tool to achieve at least partially the goal that I had set. The social goal that I had set, certainly, certainly my whole interest in cryptography was really prompted primarily by political and social reasons, rather than technical causes. I stumbled upon the CypherPunks shortly after they were founded, actually reading the very first issue of Wired Magazine, which probably got CypherPunks quite a bit of publicity, and have been an active subscriber ever since. I became a beta tester for PGP 2.0 at the time, and if anybody complains about buggy software code, if you folks, if any of you not beta tested, excuse me, I did back AlphaTester for PGP 2.0, and if you had the hard press to come with a crypto product, it was bugger than that. I quickly realized that there were a number of interesting projects out there, development efforts underway, that were hampered by the lack of modular tools in order to achieve these goals. It's one thing to design and develop a very large project, a very large programming task, that typically frequently requires infusions of money, but what do you do if you don't have that money, or what do you do if you can't get the information you need in order to institute that project? One issue that particularly sprung to mind to me was the dire absence of open source, easy to use development tools for integrating smart cards with a developer's application, whatever that might be. Yes, the smart card vendors will happily sell you a development kit that will only work with their particular smart card in their particular reader. We'll only run on Win32, and probably will cost you somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000, and if you're lucky, you just might get a little bit support out of them in the process, but don't count on it. There's one smart card vendor that comes to mind, a fairly well known smart card vendor, certainly here in Europe, which will only provide you technical specifications, detailed technical specifications for their cards if you, prior to receiving the specifications, sign a contract that you will use their cards exclusively, company-wide. I can fathom why anybody would sign these contracts about anybody would use their cards, but apparently they're people silly enough to do that. I then turned around, contacted some people I knew in industry, and decided to do something about this problem by developing a cross-platform vendor-independent, a reader-independent, card-independent, smart card development kit that allows you to talk to any card in any reader, under, well, not any, but virtually any operating system, with only making minor modifications. This kit became somewhat popular, not quite as popular as I certainly would have hoped, and it's always with these open-source projects, we could always use more people working on it, so if there are any smart card hackers in this audience that feel like writing some tables for this kit, by all means, do so. It's on double, the kit gave birth to a somewhat more formal structure that structure ultimately received a name called the Smart Card Developer Association. We're an association that's comprised of members worldwide, Europe, Asia, Pacific, we even have a member in Africa. The kit is available on www.scartisinsmartcard.org. It already has conversion tables for some of the more popular cards, such as the various crypto cards, of course, which we put in first, the various crypto cards which we put in first, and perhaps most importantly, GSM Sims, and I don't know if Ian had a chance to get into this at all. Oh, he did quickly. We did quickly, okay. Anyhow, this kit ultimately proved rather crucial towards performing the discovery and ultimate break of Comp. 128, the authentication algorithm used by the vast majority of the 120 million by now GSM phones worldwide. But really what I've been trying to focus on is to develop small achievable tools that can later on be integrated and serve set up the structure to provide for a clearinghouse for information, information that vendors don't provide you with. So that's my industry association angle. So what are you gonna do next after this? What are we gonna do next after this? In the immediate future or in the far future? Yes. Yes, okay. In the immediate future, having published Comp. 28, the authentication algorithm for GSM, and having published A51, the stronger of the voice privacy algorithms in GSM, I plan the stronger. Well, stronger for some value of stronger, we don't quite know what actually the word factor is probably two to the 38th most likely. But in the very immediate future, I plan on discovering by whatever means I can, and in fact during CCC hopefully, A52 the weaker of the GSM voice privacy algorithm, at which point we will have published three out of three of the algorithms used in the most widely used digital telephony system worldwide. And very much would hope to do so before CCC is over. After that, I'm still following my original goal, which is to overthrow the government, overthrow all governments. Preferably in a nonviolent fashion by slowly eroding the attack space. So lucky. This one, I gotta hear your answer to this one, because I've got a set of canned questions here. What's the best thing that's happened to you due to your involvement in all of this? Due to your hacking? The best thing that happened to me due to the involvement, especially with cypher punks, is that from people that I've known only by a reputation capital posting on a mailing list for a number of years, folks that I had never met in my life and after exchanging emails with them for four years, in some cases longer, many of them ultimately when we met became personal friends, close personal friends in some cases. There's one I worked for, there are several that I parted with, all of which I parted with. And the most exciting thing is really the knowledge that there are others out there who are willing to do something to exert effort to spend money, time, energy, contacts, whatever it takes to bring about social change in a positive fashion through technology. I'm just gonna remind the audience again that I'm not gonna have enough questions to fill up too much time without some of your help, so remember to ask questions. Okay, well I think we're down to one turkey left on the panel here, and I think you can figure out that he is both a hippie agitator and a philanthropist. Mr. Gilmore, how did you first get interested in crypto? Well, I was, I was in junior high school, or maybe younger, maybe sixth grade, and encountered a scholastic book service, this book about codes and ciphers, and read this thing, because I was reading a lot of books at the time, I was a real avid kid reader, and discovered all of this stuff about spies and secret codes and how this had changed the course of history at various times, how people had figured out what had been encoded on Shakespeare's gravestone 300 years later, did Francis Bacon really write those plays or not? It was all strange puzzling stuff in the world, and that was my introduction to crypto. It turned out that about 15 years later, I was working at Sun Microsystems and trying to figure out how to make the systems more secure, so that as we sold the Unix machines to customers, people couldn't break into them all the time. But still, people, the scientists who we were selling them to could still get in and get their work done and not be annoyed too much. And I realized that this code and cipher, this cryptography stuff was actually the key to making security work over a network, because anything else could be faked. There could be somebody in the middle who's just copying, making a copy of your fingerprint and sending it on or making a copy of your credit card and sending it in as if they were you. But the encryption stuff provided some kind of mathematical hooks that meant really only the real you could be doing this and somebody who'd be faking it would get caught. And so I started investigating encryption to try to make computers more secure. And I quickly discovered that the government didn't want computers to be more secure and they didn't want people to have encryption because it made it harder for them to break into computers. So that was my introduction. Exciting, isn't it? So how did you end up in your current position as a hippie agitator philanthropist? Stock option. Well, I saw an ad for a hippie philanthropist. Damn it. Why can't I ever get to the paper first? What happened was actually I was, as a teenager I got interested in computers because I was interested in math and it was an offshoot of math. And I discovered after I got out of high school people would actually pay you money to do this. So instead of going to college I took computer jobs and they paid me to learn about it instead of me paying them, which I thought was a great deal. And by just building up my work experience from that point I happened to be at the right place at the right time when Sun Microsystems was just starting up in Silicon Valley. I was the fifth employee there because I happened to call them at the right time and tell them I was thinking about taking a job that would port Unix to their boards, to their new CPU boards. And they said, well, God, we're really too busy to talk to you, but we're starting a company and did you say you were porting Unix to this? Maybe you should come talk to us. And so I became the fifth employee at Sun Microsystems which turned out to be one of the big success stories of Silicon Valley. And partly by my efforts, but it was an really incredible team. The first 10 people there were just some of the most excellent people I've ever worked with. Really good at hardware, really good at finances, really good at running a company. All the people involved in the early days were honest so none of us got cheated. And the result was that each of us had a small share in the company and my share initially was half of a percent. But that half a percent by the time the company had grown to be a multi-billion dollar company was worth real money in the millions of dollars. So by being in the right place at the right time and with the skills I'd built up, I made a whole bunch of money. And that sort of set me back for a few years because I had to figure out, well, once I could do anything I wanted, what did I want? Middle-class life doesn't prepare you for that choice. And eventually what I figured out was that I wanted to work on civil rights. I wanted to make sure that the rights that I had when I was born were still there when I passed them on to my children. And that as we were moving on to the internet, we don't lose the right to free speech, the right of privacy, the right of free association, choosing who we can get together with at a conference and who we can send email to and what we can talk about. And having all that stuff persist even as the world moves on into this whole new realm. So I thought that was an interesting challenge and it's turned out to be great. It's a wonderful way to meet people. It's the same experience that Lucky was talking about, finding all the people who care about this and want to find a way to contribute in their lives. And I contribute some money to it, but mostly what I contribute to it is attention, is thinking about the questions and talking to reporters about what's going on and trying to figure out if we're gonna have a privacy problem, if we're gonna have a problem where people are breaking into the infrastructure and making it so that the fresh water doesn't run and you have to figure out how to drink or people are taking down the phone system and you can't call up. What do you do about that? How do you solve those problems long term and trying to figure out, eventually what I figured out was that the government policy on encryption was wrong, that it was preventing us from securing all of our infrastructures and providing privacy to ourselves. And I had to figure out, so how do you change such a deeply ingrained bad idea so that before it screws up your society you actually get it fixed? So that's, it's been an interesting challenge. And go ahead. No. I want the next question. Can I have one? Wimps, ah, good, one man among you. I mean, folks in the US originally invented the internet but we didn't invent the web, that happened over here. It's really been a worldwide collaboration. We just happened to be there first but there've been lots of contributions made by other folks. And, yeah, of course we screwed a bunch of stuff up. We gave a monopoly to a small company that was sort of doing an okay job of taking name registrations but then a big defense conglomerate, we called them Beltway bandits, bought that company and started trying to exert real monopoly control over what went on on the net and just say, everybody's gotta pay us $50 a year to be on the internet. And we said, gee, there's something wrong with that but it's taken now many years to try and fix it and it's still not fixed. Whatever you guys can do to help fix that, we will appreciate it. So, John, can you describe what your daily grind is? Oh, it's like six to eight hours a day of reading and responding to email. So you're an email hacker. We need better tools for dealing with email. Secretaries. Yeah. Can you describe your best or worst recent hack? My best recent hack I thought was the Desk Cracker. That was a lot of fun. Big win. Right, the government, IBM invented an encryption system in the 70s and the government was running a competition for who's going to create the standard encryption system. And IBM won it with their system called Lucifer and then the National Security Agency went in and said, well, there's a few problems in that. Let's change these things around it and here's the standard you should use. And that was called Desk. And the academic cryptographers, of which there were just a few back then, were saying, wait a minute, what'd they change in there? I mean, is this really a good cipher or not? And we think we could build something. It might cost 20 or $30 million. We think we could build a machine that would crack this. And the government said, oh, these guys don't know what they're talking about. These are students. Let's just use the standard. Oh, babe. Over there? Right, and people use the standard and it did actually provide a lot more security than what people had before, which was nothing or almost nothing. Machine ciphers like Enigma and Clear Text. And the whole banking system, ATM machines, all of that stuff was protected with Desk, which was certainly better than nothing. But it turns out that Desk had been designed such that the key was sufficiently short. There were a short number of possibilities on the combination lock. And like getting into a suitcase, you only have to try 0, 0, 0 through 9, 9, 9. Maybe if you have a few hours to spend, you can do this. The government had left few enough combinations in the keys. They could try every possible key. And probably by this point, they can do it in seconds. We built a machine. We set a goal to build a machine that could prove this could be done in a week. And to spend as little money as possible, but just do as little work as possible, come up with some machine that proves you can crack Desk in a week. And I hadn't done a hardware project since I got out of sun, so I'd forgotten all the horrible ways that you could screw yourself with hardware. So we had chips that didn't work the first time. We had to make them work anyway. We had boards where half the wires were soldered, not half, but hundreds of wires are soldered on wrong, and we have to re-solder them up on the surface on little green wires. We had systems that overheated and drew too much power. All the things you don't worry about is a software programmer. It's like even these days, you run out of memory, it just allocates more off the disk. There we had, it took us a year, and we had to do lots of collages, but we ended up entering a contest put on by RSA Data Security, and we cracked a Desk encrypted message in 56 hours, and then published a book. When we won the contest, we also immediately published a book, and that gave the complete details of how to build the hardware, how to build the software, and hook it all together, as well as academic papers, the original papers that had talked about, we think there's a problem with this in the 70s, and some later papers like by Ian that talked about some initial experiments they had done using programmable gate arrays to figure out how fast you could break this code. So the whole idea was to make a big publicity splash, get people aware that, hey, Des isn't any good, you should stop using Des, because the intelligence agencies are all listening in to everything you do under Des. So if you want real protection, you gotta switch to something else. So by winning this contest, publishing this book, et cetera, we talked to a New York Times reporter who I know, because he calls us up about other things, got him in and showed him the machine, basically said, you gotta hold this story until we win the contest. We wanna be able to announce, not that we're going to build a machine for this, but that we have built it and it works, and he took the bait, and he held the story until we won the contest, and then we got on page one of the New York Times with this thing that broke the government standard, and eventually caused the export laws to change and a bunch of other things. So I thought that was a cool hack. So you had a question. Yeah, the national security agency, when they first changed the Lucifer algorithm into the Des algorithm, when it was just being standardized, it turns out that they had actually strengthened the algorithm in several ways. They made it resistant to several forms of cryptanalysis that we out in the public world hadn't discovered yet, but that they inside the classified world had discovered. In particular, differential cryptanalysis, which was invented 15 years later by Adi Shamir and Eli Beham, had already been invented in the classified world, and they changed it so that other nations, cryptographic agencies that also knew about this couldn't break DES, but they also shortened that key so that anybody who threw enough hardware at it could break DES. And this agency, the national security agency, it has an annual budget in the $5 to $10 billion a year range, and it spends it on wiretapping the world, on intercepting as much satellite traffic as they can, as much undersea cable traffic, as much microwave and cellular traffic as they can, and scanning it for things that the U.S. government and other allied governments are interested in. There's actually an NSA listening station at Bad Eblen, I'm probably mispronouncing it, here in Germany, another one in the U.K. at Menwith Hill, and stations in Australia at Pine Gap, and several stations back in the United States that listen in for all of our communication and everyone else's, and try and filter it for things of interest to them. And the trick is, we never get to find out what's of interest to them. Are they actually tracking criminals? Are they doing diplomatic spying, or are they spying on people exercising their civil rights, people doing commercial transactions, and feeding it back to their own companies? We don't know what they're doing, and we'd like a little more oversight. John, I believe there was an interesting incident just before you announced Deep Crack with a reporter in Washington, over in a bar. Oh yeah, tell me about it. The reporter asking you if you knew who these people were doing this project? Oh, well, several people knew that we were doing the project. I brought some folks in from the cryptographic community to help me design the hardware who actually did design the hardware and design the algorithms involved. We had a bunch of people who contributed papers to it like Ian, and also several people in the computer security and crypto community who reviewed the book and told us what was wrong with it so we could fix it before we published it. And all of those people were sworn to secrecy, not because we're trying to pull one over on any one, but because we wanted to get the maximum impact when we released it by saying, it's a done deal, it really works this way, it's not that we're some academics predicting that it will happen, it's that it really happened. And so all those people were being very good about not talking about it, but a reporter in Washington kind of got on the scent anyway, heard there was something going on and eventually started pestering me. And I had to put him off to basically say, well, I telling him the same story, I told you we're looking for maximum impact, we want it to be announced after it's done and it's not done yet, so I can't tell you about it. But he got annoyed that we'd given him the story to the New York Times before him. So what do you plan to do next? Well, I've got any clips to see. Ha, ha, ha. But I'm also hoping to round out more of my personal life. I'm trying to start a relationship, looking to have a family, as well as pursuing civil rights and all of that stuff. I'll be 44 this month. It's time to get a few of those other things dealt with. At this point, I'm gonna open things to general questions if anyone has them about the Cypherpunk community, about hacking, about anything that you feel you want to ask of us. So boring. Way in the back. Are you interested? The question is whether I can reveal some additional details regarding my attacks on the GSM algorithms. I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Are you talking here about the future attacks still to happen? No, the one you're doing here at the CAC. The one where, yeah. How can they help? That's a really good question. Currently, much of it depends on actually what's happening back in the reverse engineering tent, which I must confess and I'm most embarrassed to say so I have absolutely no idea. Since I spent the entire day actually driving around in the car to get a sound system for the big party that we're having tonight. And all other following nights, of course. So depending on what kind of equipment there is in the reverse engineering tent, I would very much like to take some rather, some harsh measures to some of the ASICs inside a GSM phone. It's more for hardware attack. I don't know if these guys actually have a scanning electron microscope. I very much hope they do. On site here? On site, yeah. I hope they have a scan electron microscope. If they don't, then we might have a problem. But anyway, what I would like to do is decap the chip and to really go over it with a scanning electron microscope and just read out the algorithm directly because I'm sick and tired of having to deal with GSM. I've worked on this now for two years and it's time to wrap it up. If you happen to have bought a scanning electron microscope, talk to us then. Oh. You do not have one in the engineering tent. Well, we'll figure something else out. I have something like that. OK, we're halfway there. It's a start. Well, I thought one of the possibilities was to do some decompilation, some reverse engineering on software code for an embedded processor. Does that work? Does that help? So we discovered that there is a good number of GSM phones that actually allow you to flash upgrade the firmware. There are some, we then discovered, unfortunately, that the crypto algorithms aren't done in the phone firmware. However, the DSP that performs both the voice encoding and the crypto algorithms actually has a diagnostic port that we believe might allow us to dump the contents of the DSP. So if we have some DSP hackers here that know a bit about Motorola DSPs, then by all means talk with us because if we can get the DSP to spill its guts, which should be possible, then yes, in fact, we can just simply decompile the code of the DSP and reverse and publish A5 to from that. So any DSP hackers give us a holler. You want? What? Could you introduce yourself to ask all of us a question? Oh, you! You! He is a big... Yeah, you is the big-time troublemaker. Hi, my name is Hugh Daniel. My current work revolves around trying to get the internet itself secured when the military-industrial-educational complex in the USS of A designed TCPIP fact in the early 80s, we had no need of protecting the privacy of data, of making certain the data was the data you thought it was, or providing any sort of anonymity because we were all just students or military contractors or something like this. The IETF, the Internet Engineering Task Force, I don't know if I can make this a very long paragraph with the way my voice is going. The IETF has spent six years arguing and bickering over a design to add security and authentication, encryption and authentication, although not anonymity, to IP itself. And I have a team of programmers outside the USS of A in free countries that are coding this up for Linux, and we're trying to distribute that system to all of the Linux distributions and to people all over the world to start authenticating and encrypting their communications over the net in general. So yeah, I'm philanthropizing this project. Hugh is managing it, and we have people in other countries working on it. Something that you folks actually who live outside the USA can do, the people who make Linux distributions inside the United States can't put this code into their distributions unless they comply with a lot of export control bullshit, which would make it harder for them to do their job of pushing Linux out into the world. And make it impossible to do the crypto right, which is more important than playing games with our government. Yeah, so what you folks can do is when you make Linux distributions out here, put the good crypto in, make the stuff work in your own distribution so that people all around the world in Europe and back in the United States can bring it back in and have a secure network. If when you install Linux all over an academic network or something, make sure you've put the crypto stuff into it so you can set up secure connections among them, make it, you know, put it to good use and spread it around. And you can do many things that we in the US can't do. So we're depending on you to help pull some of the weight. And at this point, since I have very little voice, I will simply put up an advertisement for the next session here in this room at midnight, which is the Linux crypto summit where we're gonna try to figure out how do we do some of the stuff John was just asking about. I guess I'm gonna say one other thing. The way I got started hacking, the way I got involved in computers so I wandered into my high school in 1976 and then there was a Altair 8800. To give you an idea, this machine at the time had 256 bytes of memory on a card like this, okay? So I asked the teacher, can I learn about computers because it had more blinky lights and more cool switches than any light board I'd ever run, rebuilt, designed or whatever. The teacher looked down and he said, kid, if you passed algebra one, I said, no, but I'm taking math. Kid, get out of here. So two weeks later, I forced my way into the computer course by having had one of the other students teach me to toggle in bootstrap loaders. The computers were so dumb, when you woke them up in the morning, they didn't know what to do, they just kind of sat there going, dee, dee, dee, dee. And you had to basically twiddle their nose for 20 minutes up and down until they got going. Four years later, I graduated, excuse me? Yeah. Eek, what are you using, M size? No, no, Win 2000. I thought that product was coming out in 100 years, I thought the next thing they were shipping was Win 1900. So to finish the story up before my voice completely goes, four years later, I bothered graduating from high school. My job at that point was as a person at the university in town where I grew up, I was doing research on how to write educational games that weren't shoot-em-ups and teaching professors and deans at the university how to integrate computers into secondary and tertiary education systems. I never did pass algebra one. I think we're done unless these people actually find a question in their souls. Let's call it quits. You can corner us individually. Thank you very much.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ0HSOMf01I", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

collection of bamboo and nipah palm houses grouped around the mohammedan temple and a few shops and offices was a crucial port on the voyage of the scarlet queen there we would have contacted an aged and trusted friend of kujikang the sultan of the island kamalul hakayam the second from his hands we would have received what had grown to be the most important document in the world the final instructions the chart showing the actual location of ten million dollars worth of priceless relics that trace the eight historic periods of china's past and china's beginning so it was with feelings mixed between elation and something like dread that we made on moorings in the lazy harbor of isabella and were boarded by the turban little port official which is captain one that's me i will look at

of the scarlet queen written by gildowd and bob tallman and starring elliot louis the scarlet queen protest ship to plow the seas bound for uncharted adventure every week a complete entry in the log and every week a league further in the strange voyage of the scarlet queen ten minutes after we were moored i left the ship and gallagher's command and headed toward the palace realizing if there was anyone with whom the old sultan had trusted the secret his son or anyone else i'd have to make my arrival known before i could hope to be contacted when i reached the palace of marmanuk i followed a heavy set brightly uniformed guard down a long inner hallway rich with marvel mysterious with tightly closed doors on either side uneasy with a complete lack of visible humanity my god motioned me to a stop in a domed circular widening of the hall disappeared down another long passageway to deliver my message i didn't have to wait long for an answer but it wasn't from the sultan it was a ruddy faced white man who walked into my waiting room flanked by two guys well well captain philip carney to see kamalul hakayam the third sultan of basilan that's ryan might i ask carney aren't you behind schedule who are you well you might say i'm a sort of unofficial court advisor these young rulers need guidance you know my name is roi polk so i'm glad you arrived carney a very important man wants to meet you constantino he's arriving tomorrow huh i was looking forward to meeting him too strangely enough he feels a certain amount of admiration for you because you've been so difficult to kill i believe you aren't surprised to find us here before you and in possession of the most vital charts of all not in the slightest your men have waited for me before just wondering how you managed to knock off the old man his death was due to natural causes but actually it would have made little difference we had operatives in the sultan's palace long before he died his death merely made it simpler now well don't think it's been a pleasure now if you get one of your knife happy bell boys to show me out i'll leave you go ahead take him the original sultan hadn't wasted any time or expense when he'd built the cell they tossed me into both its ventilation and light was supplied by the quarter inch crack at the bottom of the heavy door i lay there and rationed my breaths for a black immeasurable period of time the first inkling i got a someone's approach was the break in the weak ray of light under the door as somebody's feet passed through it i got to my feet with the idea of making a try against whoever it was but the first thing i saw as the door opened was the cold shine of a knife blade the guard behind it motioned me forward you'll come you speak english i make you here this thirsty knife you come you're no fight he no drink on you i don't fight i come behind you walk where do we go we go up a room sultan hero you come sultan rule other white man come to other one ego sultan he no rule come then only sultan in upper room no only sultan number one sultan number two sultan also many gods with thirsty knives you not talk you go the upper room was large rich with rugs and draperies furnished with the treasures of gold and silverware necessary to serve a sultan with food and drink musicians to soothe his ears luxurious low feather padded couches for the comfort of his body on one of these lounged kamalul hakayam the third looking like an arabian night style man of distinction with his sharply bearded chin and the jewels flashing from his turban and his languid fingers he was as handsome as the setting into which he nestled two couches on either side of him held his sultanas the one of lower rank was all beauty with a coloring that tinged from like tanned ivory number one was weasel like in her receding chin quivered with impatience as she waited for her lord to greet me so she could open up my guest perhaps finds it more pleasant in this portion of my palace was only at your request the unworthy will bow before my lord he is not good your answer captain i only came here at your request the pig has a fork tug my lord the honored guest roi pope speaks that you and one kujikang were enemies of my father and even now our enemies to his memory and to me his son he is not good did your father ever speak to you about kujikang the unworthy questions my lord no my father spoke of little to me roi pope spoke that you and kujikang were greedy for that which my father possessed he prophesied that you alone would come to basilan to take it from this palace and the pig came roi pope spoke truth yes i asked only one thing the inferior one does not ask he begs he grovels before my lord he shrivels like a weed before the burning eyes of my lord my highest star i your face takes the color from a troubled sunset he's not read the color of fear your request will it bring us pleasure i beg for the good of all concern that you send me back to myself send him back my lord that i may order servants to wash the floor when he is stood now what you know make love talk no make sound you come what's the honor this time you know talk in way this way the distance was short in the new direction but the result was heart stopping the ivory colored number two saltana arose from a couch as i went in she was smiling she held out her right hand and she met me in the middle of her own my name is sangha captain come and sit down yeah thanks captain i was so proud of you in the upper room earlier this evening i tried so hard i can't take this all at once i'm lost you're a little surprising i'm sorry i forget my effect on people who don't know me i'll keep it brief i was the adopted daughter of kamalu hakayam the second he bought me from my family when i was nine years old and he was returning here from his pilgrimage to the holy city of mecca my education has been in british schools in the audience and finally i spent the war period in the school in the united states that brings me almost back to normal so you sprung me out of my cell how'd you handle it i've learned it by holding the love of the servants one can wield even greater power in the palace than the linear rulers himself this place needs more like you all right i'm here why captain carney i want you to help me help you that's great help you do what my lord the salt i like that cell better every time i'm out of oh please listen to me i know you have every right in the world to hate him for what he did to you but believe me it isn't his fault he's weak i'll admit but a little love and understanding would help him i know it would he's never had any and he needs it sound more like a woman than a number two saltana worried about herself i wasn't going to let myself because now i'll sound like a cat when i put the blame for everything on latima was that her name she's a greedy grasping woman she's a liar and a cheat but she should she feeds my lord vanity and needs him around like a puppy what a sucker why does he put up with no choice for many years she has connived to gain control of the palace she's the cause of everything even your trouble here what do you mean she's been paid money for a long time to spy on my stepfather to read letters from kutcher kang to steal a very important chart that my stepfather was to give to you know about that chart when my stepfather knew he was dying he honored me by saying that i was the only person he could trust with the secret and his promise to kutcher kang than neither latima nor pope has the chart latima thinks she has not knowing one chart from another and realizing more and more the value she thinks is behind her chart she has set a very high price upon it i'm dead so high in fact that mr. constantino himself is arriving tomorrow to bring the money so don't you think we should settle all our problems tonight so that i can show my lord what a horrible woman she is here here is the true chart but it's in your pocket where it will be safe sanga it is the chart i'm lost again i i don't know what to say to you or do phil would this sound silly nothing would sound silly from you what would you but you're nice and you won't laugh at me ali you may go aren't you and now with a guard going you and i are the only ones who will know that it's silly phil the last time i was kissed was the night of june 16th 1945 on the ferris wheel at long beach california there now is it silly silly look let's not waste time denying anything now that's what i wondered how many things i miss about the good night and the likeness went out of the evening as suddenly as she brought it in two guns materialized probably through love of the servants and we started out to save the sultan through her organization of the palace staff our espionage was perfect we received split second reports on the movements of pope latima and the sultan i didn't know why it was so important till the three were reported together in the upper room and sangha left me she was back in 20 minutes her soft eyes not so soft her soft mouth set a little grimly and the tanned ivory skin over her cheekbone slightly fleshed with excitement her grasp on my arm was spring tight as we walked through the long corridors her plans were well laid and successful until we entered the upper room latima and the sultan were pleased expressions and pope swung his automatic toward me and more than a threatening movement i pushed sangha sideways and hit the floor two slugs took a base just above me no no mr pope no you see sangha we were warned of your visit by the few servants who aren't working with you but i've come to help you really you must believe me captain carney has the true chart hidden she lies what's this sangha it's true i can prove it to you mr pope the chart you bargained for is false i can prove it she lies my lord send her away as you went from my presence without ever mind helping him all right sangha carney leave your gun on the floor and get up here you too sangha you can drop your gun certainly i have no need of a gun if you will listen to me there's only one thing i want i would approve to my lord and to you latima is a liar and a deceiver sangha you dare send her from here you accuse the first sultan i don't care about me family squabbles stay on your couch sultan i'll handle this all right sangha what's this talk about the charts latima has been lying to my lord and he's been trying to deceive you by selling you a false chart she lies my lord you're not to believe my lord would not know who lies but mr pope would here it was hidden in her room the chart she had ready for sale to mr concentino tomorrow some islands in the band of sea thousands of miles south that show is true look at it mr pope well mr pope is this the one we were paying 10 000 pesos for tomorrow it is the one it is the one that came from kuchi karni this is your party pope all right sangha i've had enough of this where's the true chart latima has already sold it to captain karni latima she lies i sold no chart to the p captain karni give me the chart there there is a celibate his chart never mind the gun latima latima you believe her then my lord will believe her hope made his first mistake in arming his royal accomplice the second was in shouting at her latima made her first rush out and cocking the weapon with clumsy fingers he didn't wait for her to make it his two slugs jolted latima backwards and knocked her to the floor i understood sangha's stand when she threw herself to her knees and scooped up her gun as i faded the other way after mine but hope was in action go down i felt flat on my gun grabbed it and rolled into a new position i came up against the table and turned but i didn't have to fire sangha had raised herself partway up with her left arm and her wavering gun muzzle was still following pope as he settled silently to the floor she sank back held up a reaching hopeful hand as i bent over things went all wrong yeah they got a little mixed up didn't they i hate the act the way i did you thought i was foolish i love him didn't you i wanted to give him love and more i hope you know why my wish was that one of them would not die which one sultan well that is no problem now since both of them are dead now in spite of my wishes i find myself lonely is that all sultan which is a great burden it is no small task to find wives i will be lonely so help me sultan i gotta let go it won't do her any good nothing will do you any good but maybe it'll help me just a little bit now come on get up off that you're lonesome log up to date put my signature under a day that i pay five of my own years to buy and bring back so that i could work out a better finish for it but the new day brought us wind and we cut the motor to use it guys against the rising sun stood at their stations in the sad postures of the newly awakened and looked vacantly at red

couldn't be anyone else's red why well it's not much of a chart for size so i don't suppose it's much of a coincidence but the stain covers the x that kang marked the position of the prize with maybe

UCuRLBemwKx8hviphJRFlRCw	Upgrade Your #GivingTuesday 2023 Campaign		null	2023-09-29T13:37:31	2024-04-23T03:43:19	3,322	VZCZRiqjKmI	All right, everyone. Thank you for joining us. We're right at two o'clock, so we will go ahead and get started. We're certainly happy to have you all here for our webinar upgrade. You are giving Tuesday campaign. It's hard to believe that giving Tuesday is kind of right around the corner. So we're excited that you were able to carve out a little time to join us today. Thank you for that. I do want to share that my name is Ashley Kefalidis. I'm going to move our slides along in just a second here. Here we go. Maybe. There we are. All right, so that's me. My name is Ashley Kefalidis. I'm a community development specialist at Mighty Cause. And again, I'm excited to get to share this information with you as we come up to Giving Tuesday. A little bit of what we're going to cover today, we'll touch on what is Giving Tuesday, and then we'll dive into upgrading that campaign and we'll start with leveraging your supporters. We'll move to donation data integrations, the donation experience, and promoting opportunities. And of course, we'll have time for questions and answers at the end of the webinar, and you're welcome to submit any questions you have either through the chat box or the Q&A box. You can submit those at any time. And then at the end of the presentation, I'll be sure to go over anything that we have there. Also, if you have to step out early for any reason, no worries there. We are going to be recording the webinar. So all of that information, even the questions and answers. That recording is going to be emailed to everyone. And in fact, we also include the slide deck and the email. So anyone who's registered can receive both, will receive both the recording and the slide deck. And we'll also be posting the recording on our Giving Tuesday page, if you want to share that information with anyone else as well. So Mighty Cause, we've been dedicated to serving nonprofits since 2006. And we offer a year round platform for all of your fundraising needs. So we do more than just Giving Tuesday. And we are specifically designed for the small to medium nonprofit, although we do certainly have our share of large nonprofits as well. And not only do we process donations, but we also provide peer to peer fundraising pages, donor management tools, integrations, a number of other features that we'll touch on today. But we also provide for anyone who is interested a free resource center with blogs, webinars such as this, but also ebooks and other case studies, all geared towards fundraising, so that you find success, you can find new ideas, and that we're building that community of nonprofits. But let's get on to Giving Tuesday. So what is Giving Tuesday and what does it mean Mighty Cause Giving Tuesday? Giving Tuesday might be larger than you know, although some of you have been involved for many years so you know the scope. It's launched back in 2012 and it's held annually the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And this global giving event unifies nonprofits all over the world through a day of online giving, but also collaborative generosity. And this year Giving Tuesday falls on November 28. So Mighty Cause is once again going to be partnering with all of you as nonprofits, I'll bring in those donations. And we offer peer to peer fundraising, best in class donation tools such as matching grants, customizable donation checkouts. We also offer embeddable donation widgets and downloadable reporting, all as a part of your registration. The other thing that we try to do is spice things up a little bit with some competition during the day. So we have leaderboards based on the size of your nonprofit, but we also have hourly prizes just to bring out a little bit throughout the day and encourage those donations to come in. All that we ask is that every organization register at GivingTuesday.mightycause.com. And we ask you to register in part so that we know who all is involved. But a big thing is we'll know which leaderboard to put you on what prizes you qualify things of that nature. So the first thing that you're going to do as you're upgrading your campaign is you're going to register. So let's get to leveraging your supporters and what does that look like? We'll jump right in with why our supporters feature is the donor recruitment game changer. So Mighty Cause houses your organization's history within the supporters feature on your organization profile page. Even if you've never used our advanced subscription before, all of that information is still sitting housed in the supporters feature. So as soon as you subscribe to the advanced subscription, then that information is unlocked and you can get using it. Now the supporters feature enables you to take a deeper dive into your fundraising history. You're going to find your faithful givers, your big donors, your potential matching grantors, or even those donors that you haven't seen in a while, but you'd really like to see them again. And you don't just stop at your donors. Our supporters tool also creates a profile for anyone that's engaged with your organization through the Mighty Cause platform. So this means even if someone only created a fundraiser page, they never donated but they created a fundraiser page, you're going to have a record of that. Now what about offline donors? Same thing. They're in your supporters feature as well. So with this advanced subscription, not only can you bulk import offline donations so you have record of those, you can also import supporters information that you may have collected outside of Mighty Cause. So in the past, if you've used a different platform, or as happens with many nonprofits, we end up with bits of information scattered throughout the organization. Well, you can import that and centralize everything in one records management location on your Mighty Cause profile page. So with this information that you're going to import and that we already have, you're going to take advantage of this treasure trove and you're going to see what you can discover so that as you're developing, you're giving Tuesday outreach plan. It's intentionally focused and intentional marketing is then going to increase your donor and fundraiser engagement, which is in turn going to lead to more donations. And as a donor management system, the supporters tool automatically assigns a role to every supporter that interacts with your Mighty Cause page. For example, donors are called donors, but anyone who creates a campaign page will be qualified as an organizer. And let's say someone is both a donor and an organizer. You'll see both roles assigned to that user account. So you know right away, these people are more, if I can use that term, more than just a donor. This person has already fundraised for us as well. That's a big distinction, but it gets better. As an organization, you can also assign custom tags to your supporters. For example, as you plan your Giving Tuesday strategy, use the custom tagging to sort your supporters to identify those top donors. Now, these could be people who have given the most over time. Perhaps they've given the largest number of gifts or every year they donate a large amount in December. We'll use this information to then prospect for a matching grantor, or maybe you're going to ask that major donor who typically donates in December. You might ask them to see if they're willing to be a part of your Giving Tuesday campaign. And you'll also want to be sure to review your donor's detailed donation and fundraising history before you do that personal outreach. You can have full knowledge of any previous support or involvement, and you can also attach notes to each of those supporter accounts so that you know in the future what type of interaction you've been developing. And tagging your donors and adding those notes also enables you to segment and personalize your general donor outreach. For example, if you have donors that are new to your organization within 2023, this is going to be their first Giving Tuesday with you. So you'll want to send these new donors the type of outreach that says, please join us for Giving Tuesday. That's the type of invitation you want to send to them. For your faithful donors, you're going to send an invitation that's more along the lines of Giving Tuesday is coming. Will you join us again? You don't want to send the same outreach to both sets of donors. And the great thing is you don't have to. Now the information is easily accessible and you can easily segment. And part of upgrading your Giving Tuesday campaign, within that segmenting, you can do it based on the history of the different supporters and those trends. And then you're going to designate your donors to directly ask that perhaps they consider increasing their gift amount, or you're going to ask others if they would consider posting a fundraiser page for Giving Tuesday. So based on their history, you can segment even further between just new and previous donors to really get in and build some momentum. Now as donors begin donating to your Giving Tuesday campaign, it's going to be time to start stewarding those donors. Soon as those donations come in, we want to start to steward those donors. So whether it's a new or a long term donor, your supporter's tool is going to help you do that. And we all know it's important to thank our donors and to thank them in a timely manner. But we also want to be sure that we're sharing with donors long term the impact of their Giving Tuesday gift and be building those long term relationships. And Mighty Cosmics Donor Management is super easy. Whether it's through a quick look at your downloadable donations report or that more in depth look within the supporters feature, you're going to have what you need to not only thank your donors but to build that relationship with them. And like I said, not only your donors but any of your supporters. Maybe they did a fundraiser or maybe they've volunteered but you want to cultivate those relationships. We also suggest planning to update your supporter's tool as you debrief about Giving Tuesday. So it might be a few days after, it could be three weeks after, whenever you do your debrief, be sure that you're updating your supporter's accounts so that next year all of that information is there. If you've asked somebody to donate for a matching grant, or if you've asked somebody to create a fundraiser page, you want to make sure you have all that information there for 2024. Now, let's say that you already have a data management system or you use different applications. That's awesome. And we don't want you to reinvent the wheel. So instead, you can take advantage of our donation data integrations. So our data integrations not only streamline your data entry but they also expedite your donor follow-up. So for example, if you use Gmail, you could set a personalized thank you email on behalf of your executive director to send to donors as soon as that donation is submitted. And this would be one last task, excuse me, one less task for everyone who's working and doing Giving Tuesday things. Because during Giving Tuesday, we also recognize you're also still doing non-profit stuff. So we want to make sure that we can simplify and automate anything that we can. So you're making it easier for yourself but your donors are still receiving that personalized experience. We also integrate with more than just Gmail. So if you use MailChimp, Constant Contact, Autopilot, Campaign Monitor, or a ton of others, you can automatically add donors to email lists. And this way, you can appropriately communicate with them, not just at Giving Tuesday but throughout your end of your campaigns. And this might mean for some of you that you're going to exclude your Giving Tuesday donors from your next email with a donation ask, but you are going to include them in a different email thread where you're doing a special thank you segment for those who participated in Giving Tuesday. And we also integrate with Salesforce. So when someone donates to your organization on Giving Tuesday, you can easily maintain your donor database. And you can set it up to automatically add a new contact record for that new donor or you could add a new donation record to an existing contact. Because like we said, Giving Tuesday is busy enough. And if you already have these systems in place, use our integrations to seamlessly take that information from essentially the moment that that donor clicks the donate button straight through to when they start to receive their thank you emails and things of that nature. So now that we've looked at your donor information and what you can do with that and how that's going to help to upgrade your Giving Tuesday campaign. We want to look at that donor experience because the mighty cause advanced subscription that can enhance this as well. So one of the great things about mighty cause is that as long as your donors donate through the mighty cause checkout flow. I'm sorry, I'm going too fast on those slides. There we go. Apologize for that. So with that donation checkout flow as long as the donor uses a mighty cause checkout flow, that donation is going to count towards Giving Tuesday leaderboards and prizes. Now when you register for Giving Tuesday, you'll receive the ability to embed a donation widget into your website. And you could certainly use any of the links, whether it's to your organization profile page or your organization checkout flow. For example, when someone clicks the donate button on your profile page, you're welcome to use those links for sure. But with the advanced subscription, you'll have access to a full embeddable form. Now the widget and the form being embedded in your website means that your donors can donate towards Giving Tuesday without ever leaving your website. And this reduces clicks and it also instills confidence within your donors and both of these are huge when you're driving those Giving Tuesday donations. So why would we say that the form upgrades your Giving Tuesday campaign. You can customize your checkout flow. And with the form that full flow is going to show on your website. So now whether you're using the widget or the form, we definitely suggest that you add impact statements that reflect your Giving Tuesday theme to each of your donation suggestion amounts. So the difference is with the advanced form, you can list as many donation suggestions and impact statements as you would like, and they'll all show on your website. And although we love the widget, the widget limits you only to four donation suggestions and for impact statements. And the donation form, the full form also allows you to add up to 10 customizable questions. You use all 10, but you have them available. Giving Tuesday means that you're going to have a lot of donor traffic going through your organization and donor traffic also equals opportunities. So this is something that you don't want to miss out on at Giving Tuesday. Now if there's something specific you want to know about your donors, or maybe there's just some general information that makes it easier for you to cultivate those donor relationships. You can include those custom questions, and they can be required or optional. We don't want to prevent anyone from donating but we do want to gather information. And you can set up questions for Giving Tuesday that later on you remove if you don't want them throughout the year. And these questions can be anything that you would like to ask. It could be something on the serious side, such as do you know someone who needs our assistance. Or on the other hand you could do something for Giving Tuesday that's a little more lighthearted. For example, if your organization is focused on literacy, perhaps you ask your children. Or you can only go, you know, just so straightforward, what do you need? Would you like to receive our newsletter? May we have your direct email address? Totally up to you. But whatever you choose to do with your questions, don't miss out on the opportunity to get to know your donors better. Now what about after that donation is made? Did you know that Mighty Cause sends the tax-deductible receipts immediately following a donation? We do that all throughout the year. Whenever a donor receives a tax-deductible receipt so that you don't have to, but did you also know you can customize that receipt with your own thank you message? So we already knocked out that first big thank you to your donors through that customized receipt. But with the advanced subscription, those receipts will now have your branded logo just for that little more personalization customization. Another donor experience option is making use of text to give. Now this is great in particular if you're hosting anything in person for Giving Tuesday. Now, not only do you get to come up with your own keyword that promotes your Giving Tuesday theme, but you're also reminding your donors that there is no better time to donate than now. And we have found that text to give does work best for in-person events. And no matter how casual or elegant your event might be, you can display that text to give number and keyword. And then you have your master of ceremonies invite everyone to make a donation by texting the keyword all at once. What we found is that this technique, it builds on the momentum of the event. It reminds your donors that accomplishing great missions cannot be done alone. And it allows you as the organization to share in real time the amount that's raised and the impact that that's going to have. Something also to keep in mind during text to give, we're offering prizes during those power hours and that's throughout the day. So with your Giving Tuesday campaign, you might consider arranging your event in that text to give opportunity to be made during one of those power hours. So you're concentrating, you're donating through text to give, you're doing it through a power hour. And if you want to really make an impact or really bring in some of these other opportunities, bring in matching grants. So that way, not only are you bringing everyone together at the same time to donate, you're also providing that matching grant. And a matching grant has been proven time and time again to cause donors to give that little bit more than they would have. So those are things within your campaign, think through how can you harness the matching grant, the text to give and any in person activity or online activity, but doing it during those power hours. So there's a lot that you can do. There's a lot of ways to say to your donors, it's easy to give. And here's when we're asking you to do it. And even if you're not doing an in person event, even just listing the text to give info on your Giving Tuesday promotions, that shows your donors that you're making it easy to give. And not being easy to give, that's a big part in donors following through with the donation. We've all seen every level of nonprofit has seen the harder it is to donate, the less likely someone is to follow through, even offering the perception, even if the donor doesn't use text to give, but showing them you can donate on our website, you can donate your text to give. If you choose to use QR codes, whatever you choose to do show the donors that it's easy to do. So let's take a moment and let's look at a Giving Tuesday must have that often gets overlooked. Giving opportunities for people to volunteer for your organization. It's one of those fundraising things that we don't really think of as a fundraising thing, because we think of it as a volunteer thing. But volunteers, it's a twofold thing, because you need volunteers to help you get through Giving Tuesday. There's a lot that you can harness with volunteers, whether it's making phone calls. It could be sending the thank you notes, maybe it's following up on social media and responding to people who post it might be having someone who's there just to draft the emails that you're going to be sending leading up to Giving Tuesday. Maybe one of your volunteers is shooting the videos that you're going to use for your promotions. So you need volunteers to help launch and keep your fundraising moving forward. They might not be the person who's clicking the donate button, they might not even be someone who's creating a fundraiser page, but you need your volunteers. So that's one aspect be sure you're keeping them in mind and be sure you're showing them appreciation. Another reason why I bring this up, and it's because Giving Tuesday is a great time to solicit new volunteers and also to share your calendar of upcoming events. So the Mighty Cause opportunities feature that's going to enable you to post upcoming engagement opportunities right on your Giving Tuesday profile page. Supporters can register either to volunteer or for an upcoming event that you have in mind. Not only are you going to be able to see who's coming because these people can register right on your Giving Tuesday page, but now your supporters are seeing other ways that they can be involved. And that's a big deal. We don't only want to ask our supporters for funds, we also want to ask them to engage in what you're doing as a nonprofit. And with this, you can post whether or not the occasion is going to be online or in person. You can also list specific conditions. So let's say you're doing an event where people must wear clothes to choose and they need to be able to lift 15 pounds. You can list all of that in the opportunities feature on your Giving Tuesday page. And you can even attach an informational file or if there's a waiver agreement that you need people to sign, you can have that there as well. And what makes the opportunities tool even better is that you can manage and organize your volunteers within your supporter's tool. So kind of circling back to the beginning, our goal isn't just to offer donation information. We want you to have a centralized location for all of your supporters. So whether it's a donor, a fundraiser, an offline donor or volunteer, we want all of that information to be found in one place. So the point is the mission of Giving Tuesday is also the heart of your organization. You want to bring your community together to meet the needs of those around you. The needs are various and we know that we have a number of nonprofits on our, on our within Giving Tuesday who participate, but we all have the same goal, and it's to make an impact in our community. And Mighty Cause wants to help make your Giving Tuesday campaign a glowing success so that you can move forward with your mission. And our advanced features can make that happen, but not only for Giving Tuesday, because we all know that fundraising is a year round endeavor. So with our annual advanced subscription, you can leverage these tools to elevate your fundraising in every season. And we also know that nonprofits need all the help that they can get. Anytime of year, you'll take the help. And this is why we've created additional benefits if you sign up for the annual advanced subscription now for Giving Tuesday. Now these benefits will include one month free towards your annual subscription. And not only that, but advanced subscribers have additional prize opportunities during Giving Tuesday and who doesn't want the opportunity for more prizes. We also want to be sure that you feel comfortable and that you get the most out of our advanced features leading up to Giving Tuesday. So what we're going to do is we're going to provide one free Giving Tuesday coaching session, and we're going to do two additional webinar trainings. And you'll also, as another benefit, you'll have access to dedicated Giving Tuesday resources. Now as a quick reminder, our advanced subscription provides the donor management that you need through the Supporters Tool, also through seamless data integrations. You can even import donor data. We're going to enhance your donor experiences through the embeddable donation form, customized questions, and not text to give opportunity, also with your branded receding. And finally, as an organization, you'll have the ability to post those volunteer opportunities and other calendar events, not only so that your supporters can register through your Giving Tuesday page, but also so that you can manage your volunteers and others through your supporters feature. Now, definitely, I want to thank everyone who joined us today. We want to provide you with what you need, and I appreciate you taking the time to listen through ways that you can upgrade your campaign. If you're interested in a demo of the advanced features, I'll be including a demo request link in the chat box in just a moment. But you can also, if you don't want to click the link, you can also list your name, your email address, and your organization within the chat, and I'll be sure to have one of our specialists reach out to you. Or if neither of those come about, you're also welcome to request a demo through the survey that comes up at the end of the webinar. So there's a couple of ways to request a demo. We'll be more than happy to get in touch with you that way. But for now, we're going to go through, I know we've got a couple of questions. We'll go through those. If anyone has any questions that come up, feel free to hang out for a minute, listen through at my prompt a question. And I'm happy to go over those. We have a couple of minutes left, and I'm going to go ahead and post in our chat box here the link, if you would like to request the demo. And we have from Leah. So we asked, will we be posting power hours in advance so that you can plan. Yes, we will be posting those in advance. We haven't solidified all of that information. So I don't have an exact date of when that information will be available, but typically what we'll do is not only will we post that information on the Giving Tuesday website, but we'll also be sending out emails and things like that. So if you're registered for Giving Tuesday, then you'll be receiving those emails and notifications. And what I'm also going to do, thank you Leah for asking that question. I'm going to post as well just the link to the Giving Tuesday website. So when you go there, the register button is front and center, but also if you go up towards the left corner, a bit not exactly exactly in the corner, you'll also be able to see some resources. There's also resources further down on the page, they're kind of everywhere. So, give me just a moment I'm going to check out to see a couple of questions that have come through. Let me ask a great question. With Giving Tuesday, one of the things that you receive is the opportunity for peer to peer fundraising. And with that we provide event pages or excuse me we provide fundraiser pages and team pages. With the advanced subscription, we do provide an event page. The event page. If you kind of go in sequence, a fundraiser page is just a single person. A team page would be multiple fundraisers coming together with multiple pages, all sort of funneling into the team page. But the event page, you can host teams and individual fundraisers. You can have multiple teams, all of that funneling into your event page. You know, are logged in as, if you're logged in as an administrator for your page, you can create the event a couple of different ways. One, you can go into your, on your dashboard if you go on your fundraising tools, select campaigns. Towards the upper right corner, there's the option to create a campaign. When you do that just be sure that you select other opportunity, I believe it says other opportunities because it initially assumes you want to create a fundraiser page. So select other opportunities from there you can scroll down to start the, the event page. The other option would be on your organization profile page. You can click the fundraise button, and then you'll follow the same prompts where you'll select other, and then scroll down to create your event. The Shirley asked about pricing, so she asked if Mighty Cause is cheaper than PayPal for processing donations. The way that we do processing for our donations is we do have a 4% platform fee and then the 2.9% plus 30 cents for the transaction. However, that's only if the, excuse me, that's if the donor chooses to cover those, the costs. If a donor chooses to pay that 4% plus the transaction, then what we do for the organization is you don't pay anything. So in that regard, yes, because PayPal is going to charge just the flat rate, that's where the, if I can, that's where we get unbalanced and Mighty Cause is cheaper because we want to make sure for you as the organization that you're saving as much as you can. So we give the donors that option. Now, if the donors choose, let's say, they say, I don't want to cover the fees, we don't pass on that full 4% and transaction fee to you. Essentially, we drop the 4% and we reduce the transaction fee. At most, an organization is going to pay 2.2% plus 29 cents. However, because most donors choose to cover the donation fees, the actual amounts that organizations pay is typically less than 1%. So and surely what I would suggest for that, if you would like to sign up for a demo, we can definitely dive into those numbers even more and any questions that you have not pay. Another question, should I use my donor list on Giving Tuesday to invite your, whoop to invite to your fundraiser, excuse me, I am Arnold, I apologize, I am butchering your question. Should I use my donor list on Giving Tuesday to invite to our fundraising meetings. This is going to be up to you in some ways. Yes, the more the merrier, but you'll want to take a look at who, who are the donors. So if you have people who are either from out of town, things like that, then you probably don't, you want to filter those out. If it's going to be, let's say a Zoom meeting where people can come from anywhere, then I would say go ahead. The other though, kind of be aware when it comes to who you're inviting to fundraising meetings, only in the sense that some donors, if they're a brand new donor and they didn't donate very much. They might not be the best for candidate to start fundraising. So in that way, I would say take a look at the donor group and sort of set up, set some boundaries. People have donated X number of times, or X amount. People, if they're, they've donated and also volunteered. I would try to maybe narrow it in a little more than that. And yes, we will be providing a copy or recorded copy of the presentation. We'll be sending that out as well with the slide deck for anyone who registered. So all of that will be there and that'll include the question and answer time as well. And Nicole asked, by what date do we need to register? We don't have a set cut off date similar to the prizes. We haven't set a set cut off date. We would say register as soon as possible. And part of that is so that you can start using the different features as far as just sort of getting your page ready and things like that, but also sending out those links. You can start letting people know, hey, Giving Tuesday is coming and you'll want to be using your Giving Tuesday link for that. So I would say go ahead and register as soon as you can. And also start taking advantage of some of the different resources. Now your page doesn't have to be totally completed. Let's say by Monday, you can be working on your pages right up to and through Giving Tuesday. But you'll want to get registered as soon as you can primarily so that you can get those links and that you can start promoting. So thank you, Nicole, for that. So Angela asked, what do I mean by an advanced subscription? Is there a charge? Yes, there. So what what you have with Giving Tuesday when you register is a certain number of features. With an advanced subscription, we do offer those additional upgraded features, if you will. So there is a fee for that. Now what we're doing is there's an annual, we offer an annual subscription. What we talked about today is signing up now. You'll receive a free month. A couple of things that way versus just the regular annual subscription. So you'll want to talk with one of our general 119 in your mind. On the timeframe in which you subscribe for the advance. The thing with the advanced annual is that you can get started with it now with Giving Tuesday, and then you've got it. You can get it throughout the year. You're using that supporter's tool throughout the year or the event pages and things of that nature. So annual is definitely the way to go and giving Tuesday is the best time to get started. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to repost that link so that you can request a demo on reposting that in the chat box. So thank you for bringing that up. I apologize that that probably got lost in the flow there. So we do support the we do have a website to sign up for giving Tuesday, I'm going to go ahead and post that as well in the chat box. And so you should see, I just just put in where you can request the demo and the link for the giving Tuesday website when you use the giving Tuesday website right in the middle you're going to see the option to to register there. So Molly is asking, how do members of your organization become team members, and do they have to individually register if the organization is already registered. So the way that things work for giving Tuesday is it's by organization as far as registering for for giving Tuesday, just your organization registers. Now within your organization, you do have the option to add administrators. Now adding administrators to your full organization profile page. Anyone who's an administrator is going to have admin status they can see everything so they can see donation reports, they can access campaigns. All of that your admins have access. However, if you want to do, for example, peer to peer fundraising and you want to ask people to create either individual fundraiser pages. Or like you mentioned a team page that can be done through the fundraise button on your profile page. They don't need to be an admin for your organization page. They just need to click the fundraise button, and then select the type of campaign that they would like to participate in. And when they do that, they'll become the administrator for just their page. So for example, if I'm not an admin on your page, but I create my own individual fundraiser page. I'm now the admin for my individual fundraiser page. I'll be able to see only my donors and I'll be able to customize my page. The way they're going to do that is going to be through the fundraise button on your organization profile page, but they do not need to be an admin overall. Molly asked, when can we start creating the text to give or the QR codes with the Giving Tuesday link. So as soon as you subscribe or excuse me as soon as you register for Giving Tuesday, and we do have some required items tasks to complete on your organization profile page. Once you complete those and then you're registered for Giving Tuesday, you'll see registered for Giving Tuesday in your organization overview tab. Once you see that, you're going to notice that your URL goes from being just mighty cause.com to giving Tuesday dot mighty cause.com. As soon as you're registered in your URL changes, Molly, you can start creating those texts to give and QR codes that you can send out to family and friends. That is an important thing to note that when you register, you do want to make sure that there are a couple of those required tasks on your profile page that you'll want to make sure that you you complete as well. Molly asked for the imbeddable form on websites. So for example on your organization's website, are there more ways to give than just credit card? Yes. We offer that donors can pay through PayPal. We also offer ACH and Apple Pay. A donor would need to be logged into their Apple Pay account in order to use that. Also, as I mentioned, the ACH, if the donation, I believe, needs to be at least $50 and the ACH option will come up as well. So there are, I don't want to call them caveats because those options, those payment options are there, but ACH, you have to at least have $50 minimum donation and for Apple Pay, you have to be logged into your Apple Pay account. So James asked, is text to give or text to donate included in the advanced services or is there an annual fee? Text to give is included in the advanced subscription. So if you subscribe to advance, then that's text to give is totally covered. The only fees that would be involved there would be on the donor side when it comes to their texting and SMS and that kind of thing with their wireless provider. But as far as on your end as the organization, the whole thing is covered within the advanced subscription. Let's see. Okay, so Cheryl, so for the, Cheryl asked how much is the advanced subscription. Typically it's going to be $119 a month, but we are offering a free month subscription. So if you sign up around giving Tuesday, we also have some options when it comes to annual versus monthly and there's a couple of caveats there. So for each organization, I'm going to say the best, the way to get the whole picture is going to be to speak with one of our specialists so that they can learn the specifics of your organization and get you that exact pricing. So I'm going to go ahead and post again. This is going to be both the, the link if you would like to request a demo, an advanced demo, but also I'm going to include the Giving Tuesday website. And at the Giving Tuesday website, that's where you'll be able to register for giving Tuesday. So I'm not sure which one you're not saying, you know what, let me see. Hmm. I don't know why it seems that we are not on posting to everyone. Let's see, give me just a moment. We're going to try this again. I do apologize if that has not been going through because that's a little disappointing. Here we go. Can, can everybody let me know if that's come up yet if the, if you can see the two links now. And Molly when it comes to the last date to work with your profile page, one of the great things with mighty causes you can be working on your profile page at any time. So there's no no deadline for that you do want to register as soon as possible. There's no deadline for updating anything on your pages. And that would be the same for any campaign pages as well. Fundraisers teams, or, or events. And Amy what we can do all, I'll do what I can to get you on the list. Also, if anybody misses any of our webinars they'll be takes a couple of days but it'll be also on the Giving Tuesday website as well it just takes a couple of days for that to get up there. And at any time, if you don't get to register, if you miss anything, then, then you'll be able to access that there as well. All right, good. Okay, I'm glad everybody is seeing it. Okay, thank you for letting me know that the, that the posts were coming I do, I do appreciate that. So what we'll do we'll give just another moment to see if anyone has any other other questions or anything of that nature. I also would suggest when you're going through the Giving Tuesday website. Go ahead and register for upcoming webinars, even if you're not sure if you're interested or if you would like to go go ahead and register and then that way you will receive the reporting in the slide deck after. I'm not going to make it. That's okay. You can always access that that information later or or at a second time. So Dustin, what I'm going to suggest only because of the way the presentation is set up. What you can do if you click on the fundraise button on your organization profile page, it's not going to immediately create anything. Go ahead and click on that fundraise button. You'll see exactly what your, what your donors or your fundraisers are going to see. And that'll show you where you can select other options, other fundraising options, and where you can select the the event option as well. And Dustin, what I'll do. I'll follow up with you. Actually, I would suggest this. Go ahead and reach out to our customer support team if you run into anything. But just go ahead and click that fundraise button and you'll see everything that you need there. We've got one more question from Naomi. Dustin, you're very welcome, but yeah, you should be good to go. One of the nice things about Mighty Cause is it's hard to break it. And you can always click on something, test out, you know, create a fundraiser, create an event. Go ahead and publish it. Nobody's going to see it because you're not providing the link to anyone. And then after you've had a chance to play around with it a little bit, you can go into the settings, you can go all the way to the bottom and then you can delete it. So that's also an option for you there too. And after publishing the page, are you able to edit? Absolutely. Publishing just means that the page is going live. So people would be able to see it if you provide them the link, or if they go to your organization website for or excuse me, if you were to post that campaign, let's say you're doing an event and you can go to the featured campaign section on your profile page. The page being live is what enables you to post it on your page and people can see it, but you can still make edits to it at any time. And you can do that on the left side dashboard on any of your pages. Click the edit button. It looks like a little pencil icon. And you can make updates at any time. Naomi asked if each supporter, also known as a fundraiser in her case, if these fundraisers need to create a mighty cost profile, and or is it possible to make it easier for them. The thing with fundraisers, they do need to have an organ, they do need to have a profile, what we would reference as a user account on mighty pause. The reason why is we know everyone based on their email address. So when someone goes to create, for example, that fundraiser page, they will be required to either create a mighty cause user account or log into their user account. The reason for this is so that when that fundraiser, for example, needs to go back and edit the page, they're going to go into their user account to get to that page. So we don't want pages just floating around out there. We want people to have them housed in their home, excuse me, in their user account so they can access it all the time. So they will need to have that user account. And that's why. Give me one moment I'm going to read this question. Okay, so this is. This is a great question I'm going to and Molly I'm going to come back to you in one quick second. Dorothy. Yes, this is different than North Texas giving giving day. North Texas giving day. I'm not going to get together on a for the technology side of things, but giving this giving Tuesday is for giving Tuesday on mighty cause calm. So the, although our features overlap a good deal, the, North Texas giving day and what just concluded for their big giving event is separate from what we're discussing today of giving Tuesday on mighty cause calm. So that's, that's going to be different if you have specific questions go ahead and reach out to customer support with North Texas giving day, and they'll be able to help you for sure. Molly asked regarding back to the fundraising. Molly asked. When just sort of posting on social media and that type of thing, do possible donors want to see pictures of people in the organization, or are they more interested in pictures of you working with the public for the various causes. There's a little bit of both depending on the organization. And the reason I say that there's some organizations where the work is need is delicate work that that is happening, and we don't want to post really even pictures of, of the people that we're working with, or the type of work that you do. So those are, I don't want to say they're obvious but in that way there's those if it's gentle work that you're doing. I would shy away from that do more on the lines of logos and, and people who are either working or maybe who are like an alumni of the program. So in that regard, you want to be careful when you're looking at things with anything with children, you want to be very careful. And, but then there's the flip side anything with animals people love seeing the animals. And it's a great opportunity then to see this is the work that we're doing and we're doing it with these animals, and people love it. It's good to really have a mix of both. It goes a long way for donor trust. When they see these are our staff. This is our board. These are the people who are essentially using your money for the mission. That goes a long way, but people don't only want to see that they do want to see what you're what you're doing. So if it's not sensitive work, I would say try to have a combination of both, maybe go a little bit heavier on the actual work itself. But people really want to see both and I hope that that's helpful I hope that that doesn't feel too like an answer no answer. People do want to see both just maybe a little heavier on the work side of things. So if you choose not to purchase the advanced subscription, you will absolutely still be able to participate in giving Tuesday. There are still a number of features that we provide for free during giving Tuesday so it's a big part of signing up. When you register you'll receive a number of those free features for example the widget will be available to you. That can be customized or if you use the checkout flow, you direct everyone not to the widget but you direct them to your giving Tuesday profile page. You can customize that checkout flow matching grants is a big deal and that's available to anyone, all you need to do is register you don't need the subscription. There are a number of features that are available, and by all means, certainly participate in giving Tuesday. All you need to do is register and registration is free, which is always a big deal, always always helpful. And what we'll do just for the sake of everybody's time and I'm not seeing any new questions come through. I want to thank everyone for your questions I want to thank you for just thinking through because we know that that helps everybody else. Think about some things so I'm grateful for that for being willing to participate in the discussion. Definitely appreciate your time today. And just as a quick reminder, you are welcome to request that demo in the survey that's going to follow, but also anytime, jump on to our website, and you can check out more about mighty cause just giving Tuesday dot mighty cause and we're definitely here for any questions all year long. So thank you again for participating. Thank you for jumping on making the time and we look forward to seeing you at the next webinar. Take care.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZCZRiqjKmI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Je suis très heureux de ne plus vous voir. Je vous dis de ne plus vous voir, parce qu'il y a un instant, je vous voyais, mais maintenant je ne vous vois plus à cause des lumières. Je vais prononcer, comme d'habitude, quelques paroles, mais je vous dis tout de suite que je vais le faire à moitié en français et à moitié en anglais. Par conséquent, ceux qui ne sont pas totalement à l'aise avec l'une ou l'autre langue, je les invite, non, s'il en existe, je les invite à prendre leur casque et de pouvoir switcher rapidement de l'une à l'autre. Donc je commence. Plus on avance dans le XXIe siècle, plus ses contradictions éclatent. D'un côté, bien des promesses de la révolution technologique qui nous submerge, encre dans le champ de la réalité. On parle de la quatrième révolution industrielle, mais ce dont il s'agit, en fait, est une métamorphose sans précédent historique et d'une toute autre ampleur que celle du passé. L'automobile autonome, la circulation dans les trois dimensions à l'intérieur des villes, les maisons et les cités dites intelligentes, les robots partout, l'avènement des blockchains, la technologie qui permet potentiellement de transformer les transactions de toute nature en supprimant les intermédiaires de confiance, la perspective d'une agriculture verticale et florissant jusque dans les déserts, l'homme augmenté ou réparé, voilà quelques exemples parmi d'autres de ce monde de demain que beaucoup d'entre nous, ici présents, connaîtront. Et pourtant, le monde d'hier marque toujours notre présence de son empreinte. La technologie disait certains à l'établir les frontières et favoriser l'avènement rapide d'une mondialisation heureuse. Au lieu de quoi on assiste à une exacerbation des réalités nationales qui nous renvoient irrésistiblement au deux siècles passés. S'il me fallait caractériser le phénomène géopolitique dominant dans les 30 prochaines années, je dirais sans hésiter la rivalité entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Pourquoi 30 ans ? Parce que la direction actuelle de l'Empire du milieu n'hésite pas, contrairement à celles qui l'ont précédée, à affirmer haut et fort les objectifs des objectifs de puissance, au sens le plus classique du terme, en vue de la célébration du centenaire de la victoire de Mao Tse Tung en Chine. Déjà, en 2001, George W. Bush voulait faire de cet enjeu l'axe principal de sa politique étrangère. Le 11 septembre l'en a détournée. Aujourd'hui, Donald Trump revient brutalement sur le sujet en se plaçant surtout dans l'ordre commercial au sens large. Quoi qu'il en soit, tous les autres enjeux géopolitiques des prochaines années, me paraissent devoir être envisagés, certes pour eux-mêmes, mais toujours en rapport avec cet immense phénomène. Cela est vrai d'abord de la construction européenne, dont l'échec serait un drame pour les pays membres, mais aussi, j'en suis convaincu, pour le reste du monde, car nul ne veut se laisser piéger dans un retour à un monde bipolar et à une forme de méga guerre froide. Cela est vrai aussi pour la construction d'un nouvel ordre au Moyen-Orient, dont la nécessité est aveuglante. Certains annoncent déjà une guerre réelle entre les États-Unis et la Chine, dont on imagine qu'elle pourrait être déclenchée par un incident comme il y a un peu plus d'un siècle, l'assassinat de Sarajevo. D'autres, à mon avis, plus justement, estiment qu'une telle guerre est peu probable en l'absence d'une détérioration massive de la gouvernance économique mondiale, de la même manière que la Seconde Guerre mondiale aurait sans doute pu être évité s'il n'y avait pas eu la grande dépression des années 1930. En tout cas, d'un point de vue politique et économique, nous devrions tous nous attacher à mieux évaluer les conséquences ultimes de politique qui pousse la Russie ou encore l'Iran dans les bras de l'hyperpuissance montante ou encore qui favorise l'extension de l'influence chinoise en Europe, au Moyen-Orient, en Afrique ou ailleurs. Je passe à l'anglais. Comment pouvons-nous pas aussi être concernés par la rétournée dans les politiques internationales pour la violence qui n'est pas seulement verte mais palpably réelle dans l'expérience de nombre de États-Unis ? La première à venir à tout le monde est des États-Unis qui n'ont pas déclaré d'être des démocraties ou de bouger de principales démocratiques. Mais, qui aurait pensé, dans le passé, que le président de l'U.S. serait constamment en train de se battre dans des risques et de se battre dans ses vrais ou supposés adversaires que dans ses alliés ? Qui aurait imaginé que l'économie de l'économie serait inappropriée et tournée dans les armes directionnelles pour des propositions politiques ? Je referai, en particulier, aux conditions pour la position de nouvelles sanctions par les États-Unis après sa termination unilatéraire de la traité nucléaire avec l'Iran, le GCPOA. A deux ans après l'élection de Donald Trump, je dois admettre que ses actions ont certaine cohérence à eux et que l'utilisation systématique de la lutte des principales a déclaré les résultats. Certains d'entre eux, même à Chari New Hope, comme le rapprochement entre les deux Coréens, même si, évidemment, les choses sont loin de procéder selon le plan de l'U.S. Kim Jong-un et Moon Jae-in ont leur propre agenda pour rire. Coréen a, pendant des années, appris comment s'y dépasser contre les géants sur le terrain. Ceci étant comme ça, comment pouvons-nous overlookir le fait que les termes longues achetés par l'Amérique dans les termes de trade ou peut-être avec respect à l'Iran vont aussi, inévituellement, réactionner des conséquences longues. D'ailleurs, même si les institutions de multilatéralisme se battent contre le barrage orchestré par le 45e président de l'Université, je crois que la vie des dollars comme une seule caractéristique globale est maintenant en train de s'exprimer dans une manière très réelle. En regardant ceci, les puissances médicales, l'importance de laquelle est une des motifs de WPC, doit se sentir lancée pour développer leurs efforts pour construire une gouvernance globale qui n'est pas dépendante sur le marchage imprédictable de la puissance dominante. Français. Le conflit entre le nouveau et l'ancien temps ne s'est réduit pas à la contradiction entre la mondialisation impliquée par la technologie et l'affirmation renforcée de la réalité nationale. La vague de l'islamisme politique qui n'a cessé de grossir depuis quatre décennies continue d'étendre ses ravages dans les terres musulmanes et partout ailleurs. Rien ne permet de penser que leur ait commencé à refluer. Le détournement des religions comme armes politiques ne se limite d'ailleurs pas à l'islam. Dans l'actualité la plus récente et dans une mesure certes tout à fait différente, la séparation au cours des églises orthodoxes russes et ukrainiennes illustre la complexité du lien entre religion et politique en ce XXIe siècle bien dentamé, dont André Malraux aurait proclamé qu'il serait religieux ou tout au moins spirituel. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'un des objectifs majeurs de la gouvernance mondiale doit être la lutte contre toutes les formes de guerre de religion qui tant de fois dans l'histoire ont en deuillé les peuples tant elles ont pu temporairement tout emporter sur leur passage. Église. Government is not only guided by reason. Government is not only guided by emotions. There must be a balance. There must be some sense of measure. Instead what we see before us is polarization. The triumph of reason as expressed by the technological revolution is indirectly exacerbating the most destructive passions and the most malevolent misappropriations of the aspiration to the divine. More than ever, I believe in the value of the mission which the WPC has made its own these past 10 years. Ever greater attention must be paid to all the commons of humanity starting with the climate and the environment. We need to identify these areas of common heritage and learn to manage them collectively. The practices through which democracy is brought to life need to be reinvented in order to better combine dignity and efficiency. By actively conveying this message, the WPC hopes to contribute, albeit modestly, to the sustainable development of a reasonably open world that allows human beings whatever their beliefs to better experience both the reality and the mystery of their existence.

We’ll take a hands-on look at things you should do when adding images and common mistakes to avoid that could negatively impact your site, especially with search engines. WPTV link: https://wordpress.tv/2018/06/11/steve-mortiboy-optimizing-images-in-wordpress-to-improve-performance-and-seo/	[ "optimizing images", "SEO" ]	2019-02-17T11:01:09	2024-02-05T08:00:54	3,885	VZ1rLNJg8yc	How's everybody doing this morning? Excellent. For those who don't know me, by now, my name's Steve Mordechoy. I work for Semper Plugins. We're developers of all-in-one SEO pack and some other plugins out there. One of the co-organizers of WordCamp Rally for the last nine years. And today we're going to talk about images. So what we're going to cover is what you need to understand when embedding an image into a post to a page or any other content on WordPress. And really why we're going to do this is because it's so easy to add an image to content that we sometimes forget that there's some things we need to think about. We need to think about performance. We need to think about SEO. So in this session, we're going to cover those topics. So we're going to look at image optimization, image SEO, images in social media. And then performance. So I'm making sure that when you add an image, it's not going to slow down your site. So we're all familiar by now with the image embedding dialogue. So when you click Add Media on a post to a page or any other content within WordPress, like a product or whatever, then we get that add media dialogue. We can drag and drop an image or multiple images into the dialogue or select images that are already in our media library. But again, we're doing this possibly without thinking about SEO, image file size, image file names, dimensions, all these sort of things. So you sometimes forget that embedding an image might slow down that page load and cause you problems. It might extend beyond the content area and it's too large in dimensions, extend beyond the content area into a sidebar or something. So it's important that when we do this, we understand what we're doing. So the first thing to consider is file type. Familiar with JPEG, PNG, GIFs, all these different types of files that we can use, image files that we can use. But how many people know the difference and what type we should use for what image? So let's cover these. So JPEG, for images in content, photographs that you want to put in, this is the best file format for you. It's great for color images. It's great for photography. It's high def, small file size. PNG, great for graphics. Things like logos, theme backgrounds, things like this, especially for something like an image where you want a transparent background. So a good example would be a logo where you want your logo with a transparent background so that the background of the page shows through. And then GIFs, or GIFs, whatever you want to call them. GIFs are great for animated images. So if you're trying to demonstrate something to a visitor to your page or post, you can create a little animated GIF for that. File size. So this is where we run into the biggest problems. We've all got devices like these nowadays where we can take really, really high quality images. But the problem is it's taking an image from a device like this that file size, the size of the actual file itself, the JPEG or PNG file, is huge. I mean it can be 10 meg in size if it's like a high-def image. So what we want to do is obviously make sure that before we upload that into WordPress, we resize that image so we get that file size down as low as we possibly can. And really what we're looking for is kilobytes instead of megabytes. If you're seeing an image that's 1 meg, 2 meg, 10 meg, you need to resize that. You need to be down in the KBs. And you also need to think about how many images you're putting on that page. Because if you're uploading multiple images and they're all large, you're increasing the size of the page load and therefore the speed. Dimensions. So again, we want to think about the width and the height of the file size, so the pixel width and pixel height. If we've got a 600-pixel-wide content area, we don't want to be uploading 1,000-pixel-wide images. There's no reason for that. It's going to potentially extend past that content area. In WordPress, we can control the size of the default images and set different sizes within the settings media screen and the settings media. And you'll see that there's some default image sizes in there. So you'll see a thumbnail. You'll see a medium and a large. But your images may not end up converting to those sizes. So just because you upload an image, let's say that image is 800 by 600 pixels, WordPress can't create a large image which is 1024 by 1024. It can't size up an image because what would happen is it's going to distort and stretch that image and lower the quality of the image. So all it can do is create smaller images than the pixel size you've uploaded. So again, from 800 by 600, it can create a medium-size image which is 300 pixels wide, and it can create a cropped thumbnail which is 150 by 150. When I say cropped, it's important to understand that. When you choose a thumbnail, WordPress has automatically cropped that image for you. But WordPress doesn't know the content of the image. So it's just cropping the image based on what the code says within WordPress. It's not looking at the image and going, that's a picture of three people's faces and intelligently cropping it so that all you see is the faces. It just doesn't know that information. So it's just cropping it. And what you might end up with is an image that's been cropped incorrectly. When you edit an image on the page or post, you'll see that you can actually set a custom size. So you can choose from the sizes of images from WordPress that you can embed. So you can choose a large image if that's available. You can choose a medium image or you can choose to embed a thumbnail image in your page. But you can also set a custom size as a width and a height in there. So you can then control that and set, OK, I don't want a 300 pixel wide image. So I want a 400 pixel wide or my content space is 600 pixel wide. So I want a 600 pixel wide image in my content. Again, just remember WordPress is, you don't want to size up the image because you're going to stretch the image. It's going to distort it and lower the quality. So you want to only deal with images that you're sizing down. So that way, you can upload large pixel size images, 1,000 pixels, 1,200 pixel wide, 2,000 pixel wide images, and then you can size down and only embed the size that you want and control that through custom size. Resolution. So this is the one thing that gets a lot of people confused. There's DPI, PPI that we see for Resolution. So Resolution, DPI, PPI only applies to printing images. When you print an image on a piece of paper or a poster or whatever it is, that's where those are used. It has nothing to do with the display and the quality of an image when it's embedded on the web. This means that what we can do, and typically what a lot of compression software does, is it lowers that DPI. So you might have an image that's 72 DPI or greater, and you can reduce that DPI, the number of dots, pixels per inch. And it won't affect the quality of the image being displayed on the web. It would only affect the quality of the image if it was being printed onto a piece of paper. And if you want to read more about the myth of 72 DPI, there's a couple of links there where you can just Google the myth of 72 DPI. But it's something to bear in mind because, again, there's a lot of confusion over, well, I need to set the DPI of my images really high to get good quality, high resolution images. And we don't need to do that. So I said earlier that one of the things we forget is the number of images that we upload to our page. We might be embedding a gallery, and we want a slideshow or a gallery on that page with lots of images. Or I deal with a lot of photographers where they have a blog post, and they'll have 30 images of a wedding or an event on that post. And each of those images has been uploaded and potentially is a very large image, especially an idea with, like I say, photographers who are using Nikon or Canon high quality cameras where the images are like 10, 20 meg in file size. And if we were to upload 30, 10 meg images, that's 300 meg. That's a lot of files to download. And especially if we're on a mobile network where the speeds are slower, I mean, it's going to take ages to load that post. So, again, when we are thinking about creating a content and embedding images, what we want to do is remember how many images am I uploading? What's the total file size? If they're all 100k and I've got 100 images, then we're still back into that 10 meg range. So we can also look at using tools where it only loads the image when you get to that slider, when you get to that image in the gallery. Good example of those are the image galleries that you can get in Jetpack, the tiled gallery in the Jetpack carousel and Jetpack slider. The image is only, it's not loaded at page load time, so it's not slowing down the page at the initial page load. It's loading the image when the image is viewed. So that makes a huge difference. There are other plugins that do the same things. And again, you want to check with the plugin developer or if it's functionality or the theme, is it doing lazy loading where it's loading the image when you get to the image, when the image is actually being viewed and not at page load time, potentially slowing down that initial page load. Image linking. So we've embedded our images into our post to our page. And one of the options when we edit the image and when we embed the image is where we can link that image to so that when the page or post is being viewed, you can click on that image and load either the media file, that's the PNG or the JPEG image itself. It'll load an attachment page. It'll go to a custom URL or nothing at all. It doesn't do anything when you try and click on the image. So let's look at the difference between these. So selecting the media file tends to be a lot of people choose this option. And I want to caution against this because what happens is that all it's doing is loading the JPEG file in the browser and so you get to mydomain.com slash page name slash image file name or slash uploads, wprecontent slash upload slash year month and then my file name dot JPEG. And that's just an image. So when Google looks at that, when it follows that link from that image, it just sees a file. It just sees a PNG file, JPEG file. It doesn't see any more information. It also means that for the user, for the visitor to the site, they have to use the back button to get back to your postal page, which is never a good thing. So there's really no more intelligent information that we can do when we link to a media file. An attachment page, on the other hand, is an actual post type in WordPress. You're familiar with post types in WordPress. Really, they've been badly named. We go back to the original days of WordPress. They called them post types. What they should really be called these days are content types. So you have posts. You have pages. You have custom content types, products, FAQs, testimonials, whatever you might have. These are different types of content. Well, an attachment page is a content type. So what happens is that you could have a theme PHP template file in your theme that you could style and you can put information into there. It's a page. It loads as a page with your image in there. So you could have navigation. You can have a back button. You can have links onto other pages. You can have EXIF information. You're familiar with EXIF data. So when you take an image on a camera or a photo on a phone, you're going to get information about that image. So information is stored such as the resolution of the image, the size of the image, where the image was taken, what location. So we're in Raleigh, North Carolina now. If I was to take a picture of you with my phone, that location information is stored. And you can see that some websites, they can use that information to display those images as dots on a map. Another piece of information that it stores is the device that the image was taken on, Canon, whatever camera, or Nikon D51 camera. So we can use that information to provide rich content to our customers. So we can display things like, as I say, the location of the information. What we can also do with an attachment page is we can add SEO. So we can add information such as an SEO title, an SEO description, and we can add other meta tags. No follow, no index, things like this. So we can do a lot more with an attachment page. And by default, an attachment page is fairly unstyled. But within our theme, we could also style that attachment page. I've seen some great photography websites where they've done some really nice-styled attachment pages, and you wouldn't know that you're on an attachment page. You would think that you're just on another page on the website that's providing this beautiful, large image, high-definition image, with lots of nice, rich information. And Google will see that and index that attachment page and call that information. Custom URL. A good example of using custom URL would be we've got an image of a button. So there are a number of different button generators out there on the web, just Google Button Generator, and you'll find a whole bunch of them where you can go in and you can create a button. You can put in the text that you want on the button. You can choose what you want, radius, curved borders to the button. You can choose what color the button is. And once you've created that, it downloads as an image. Well, this is a perfect image where we can upload it into a page or a post, use custom URL to link it to our contact page. So we can create a button as an image, JPEG, or PNG image, put the text on that button when we create it as contact us and make it a nice green color to encourage somebody to click on that, upload it, link it to our contact us page. So that's a good use of custom URL. If there's no reason for somebody to click on the image, then just choose none. If it's a large image, again, you've got a 1,200 pixel-wide site and you've got a nice big, wide image in there that's perfectly formatted and sized for your content, there's no reason to click on that. The only reason might be if you've got a small thumbnail image and you want somebody to click on it to see a bigger image. So if you've got no reason to have somebody click on that image, just select none. Image ownership. So this has become a big problem over the last few years as big companies have started going after small websites that misuse copyrighted images. So when I take a photograph with my camera, that image belongs to me. It's my copyrighted property. I can put it on my website. It can show up in Google Search and Google Images. And you can easily find that image and download it and put it on your website. But it's my property. It's my licensed copyrighted property. And I could go after you and say, listen, you're using my copyrighted property. So ownership is a big thing. Understanding whether you can freely use that image, whether you have to pay for that image, or whether you have to attribute to that image. What is the license that covers that image? Just because it's out there on the web doesn't mean you can download it and use it. And I get this question a lot again from photographers where they upload beautiful images which they might want to sell or copyright. And what I want to know is there weren't some way to stop people downloading and stealing my images. And a lot of people will go, well, can I stop right-click so I can do right-click on the image and save as? The answer is no, you cannot. If you put it on a website, you cannot stop somebody from downloading and taking that image. Yeah, yeah, exactly. There are some free ones. Yes. Yeah, so Google Images now, when you search for an image in Google Images, you can find the license information. It can be a little bit tricky. Sometimes it'll say it when you click on the image. It'll tell you whether that image is copyrighted under what license it's copyrighted under, whether you need to attribute that image or what. But sometimes it can make it a little tricky to find that information. One of the best tools out there, so one of the most common free open source licenses to use for copywriting images is Creative Commons. So there's a search.creativecommons.org, which is a tool where you can search for an image across multiple platforms, including Google Images, Flickr, and various others. And you can put in, you know, I only want free images for non-commercial use. So I want to find free images for commercial use that I can use on a commercial website. Now, there's two big distinctions. Just because it's free, if they mark it as for non-commercial use, and you're trying to use it on a commercial website, you know, then you have no rights to that. It also might say whether you need to attribute the image. So what that means when you see attribution is I can use that image, either for non-commercial or commercial use, as long as I say underneath the image, this image belongs to and is the copyrighted property of, you know, Steve Mortiboy or whatever it says in there. So you can see that information when you use that search.creativecommons tool. The other thing you can do is you can look at stock photo sites. So there's some free stock photo sites out there. There are obviously the big ones like iStockPhoto and Photolia where it's paid. Yeah, so let's look at that. So let me pull up the browser here and hopefully I've still got an internet connection. I can't find my... Okay, so let's look for... So what we're talking about here is under tools labeled for reuse. Labeled for reuse, but I can modify the image so I can take that image. I don't have to take it as is. I can modify that image. Non-commercial use and yeah, non-commercial with modification and non-commercial with known modification. So we can therefore search for let's do reuse. So this is commercial use with modification. Again, I mean that information should be correct and you'll see the little image may be subject to copyright and occasionally it might say in here what the license is. It doesn't in this particular instance, presumably because the source doesn't say, doesn't have that information, haven't provided it to Google, but we can also go here and see if there's any information about what license they're using and no attributation required, free for personal and commercial use. So that information is all there. We had to find it, but it's really important to do that. I usually put it in the caption or just underneath. So again, if I have a question about that, if I'm concerned that I would contact the image owner and no, it has to be visible on the page. It can't be hidden in the source code. So if you put it in the alt text, it's only going to show up in the source code or to screen readers. It has to be visible on the page that you've done that. So this is important again, but if you have a question about something like that, contact the image owner. This again is one of those sites where there's plenty of images on there. You can search for images on pixels and find free images to use. A word about stock images though. Stock images have been done to death. If you can avoid it, please don't use stock images. You'll find any reputable SEO consultant now will say or anybody in the SEO industry that writes about Google and Bing and SEO says, just please for God's sake, don't use stock images on your site. Get custom images done. If you can do the photos yourself, great. We've all got phones that take high quality images now. If it's product photos, hire a product photographer if you're running a restaurant and you want your food photos beyond your website, get somebody that specializes in taking good quality photos of food. It makes a huge difference. I mean, if you go to a food website and you see some generic picture of a hamburger, a lot of times you might realize, okay, that is a generic picture of a hamburger. It probably doesn't look like that when I order that hamburger. And we all hate that. We all hate that. Never looks like it does in the image. But if you are, we did a site for a barbecue company and they got a really good product photographer to take high quality photos. It made the world of difference on their website. I mean, you go to their website and like, I want to eat that. So I always say about the stock photos, deal with a lot of business websites where it'll be the guys looking at a whiteboard and pointing or people sitting around at a boardroom table. It's like, oh, God. It means nothing to the visitor when you see something like that. A good quality image that you've taken that is relevant to your site and your content makes a world of a difference. Any more questions about image ownership? Something you need to think about every time you see those images online. So next time you're searching for image, just be aware of that and always check. All right, so we've got our images. The next thing we want to do is optimize that image. So there's tons of different tools out there that'll help us to do this. There are some tools within WordPress for this, plugins. There are some external tools that we can use. So a common one would be Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop. It's paid software. You may or may not have it, but you'll notice that when you save an image in Photoshop, one of the options is save for web. What that is doing is it's compressing the image down to a size that is suitable for a website. So this is, again, file size. This is that megabytes versus kilobytes. And there's a couple of ways that the software does this. One is lossless compression and one is lossy compression. So lossless is where it compresses the size of the file without reducing the quality of the image. So it will do things like reducing the DPI, maybe resizing the image. So you've got a 10,000 pixel wide image and it reduces that down to 2,000 pixels wide or less and that cuts the file size down enormously. Lossy compression is where it reduces the file size but with potential loss of quality. A lot of people get a bit worried about this. Am I going to see a big quality loss in my image? Most lossy compression these days is so intelligent and so good that you barely see the difference between the quality of the images. I mean, you have to look really, really closely on a really high definition computer to see the difference. So you can do lossy compression and likelihood is that you can't tell the difference between the original image and the loss that the compressed image. Again, our goal is to get it down to a smaller file size as we possibly can. 100K if we can, 10K if we can, you know, as small as we possibly can. Again, if we're uploading multiple images, if we've got a post, like I say, with wedding photographer where they're doing a post with 30 images of the wedding, you know, that totals up. So you want to get those file sizes right down. The compression, the amount of compression you're going to get is always going to depend on how the original image was created, what the device was created with. Yeah, it's not going to strip a lot of information, but yeah, you can do that. And there are some options, you know, some of these tools, there are going to be options. Some of the options and settings are going to be quite complex and you may not understand them, but there's going to be a default setting that you can just run that image through and you're going to be perfectly fine with it. So you don't necessarily need to know a lot about image compression to use these tools. So I said, you know, Photoshop is one, using the Safer Web, you'll see that in other image editing and design tools where you'll see Safer for Web as one of the options. If you are uploading an image to the website, that's the option you want to use because it's going to do that lossy compression. Some online tools, Image Optim and Tiny PMG. Both tools that I've used, both good tools, you can run your image through that first before you upload the image up to your website. JPEG Mini. And then plugins like EWWW, WP Smush. I think there's another one called Compress PNG or Tiny PNG, but if you go in the WordPress add new plugins or on the plugin repository on .org, you can search for these types of plugins. And again, with these, it's running on your website so every time you upload an image, it'll compress it at that point when you upload that image. You can also run it through your website and it'll run through all the images that you've already uploaded. So if you've got a mature website, you've never thought about this before and you've got a thousand images on there and you're like, oh, this sounds like it's going to be a lot of work. No, because you can install one of these plugins and it'll say, do you want to optimize the images in your media library? And it'll run through and do that. It'll compress those. Is it always a best you have? I tend to do that and then I always have one of these plugins installed and active on my site. So it's running through it twice. I'm running through it before I upload and then running through it again when it's uploaded. Yeah, so in EWWW, and we can look at this on your site here so you can see what it looks like. Let's do a live demo here and see if it works. I can't put my mouse gone. Let's do 600,000 active installs. So you can tell it's a well-used plugin. It's been around for a long time. So now I've installed and activated that plugin. You'll see here under media library, I've got bulk optimize. If I also go to my media library, it may or may not. It doesn't say there, but it may say, yeah, okay. So it says optimize now or I can go to bulk optimize and it'll tell me, you know, I've got scanned for optimized images. I've got 202 images that haven't been optimized so I can optimize them now and it'll run through and it'll run compression on those images. And now I've got nice optimized compressed images. So it's a nice easy tool to run. If you've got tens of thousands of images, then this might take a little while. You might want to leave it alone for a few hours, but you know, 200 images, it's taken a matter of seconds. Sandy. Yeah, like if you've got a site right now with 10,000 images on, you can install this plugin, you've got a bulk optimized and run it right now, just like I did. So that's definitely something you want to go home and, you know, start looking at those plugins and look at trying those out, playing with them and look and see what happens. Just bear in mind, of course, that you may not see the actual file size. Let's just have a look, see if we can get that information up on the screen for you. Let's have a look, see if we can see in the media library, if I click on an image, see there, is that 137 kilobytes? Yeah. Excellent. So that's now the size of our image. Sometimes you may not see that, but it looks like that information is stored by default displayed in the media library. But you could easily look at, if you know how to do an FTP to your server or use file manager in C-Panel on your hosting platform, you could look at going in there and looking to see what the size of your uploads directory is. So you can see, you know, do I have an uploads directory that's a gigabyte in size? And, you know, I've got a thousand images in there that's potentially, you know, every image is far the large. So I need to optimize them again. But that's a useful tool to know about and I certainly recommend, you know, going ahead and doing that on your sites when you've done today. So Retina. So we now know, you know, a lot of screen devices, you know, like these, we're getting these new, you know, really high definition screens. I've got a MacBook here and an iPhone and an iPad at home, all got a Retina display, high depth screen. And when I look at an image that hasn't been prepared for a Retina screen, it just doesn't look as clear and it looks just a little bit distorted low quality. So one of the things we wanna do is think about Retina screens. We want our images to look really, really nice and crisp on these modern screens. And we can use a plug-in, WP Retina is one of those. If you go again into the .org repository and search for Retina, you'll find a bunch of others, one I've used in the past. And what that'll do is it'll enable you to create and use Retina images on your site. So what these are doing is basically Retina images double the quality of a normal image displayed on a normal screen. So we can see there, we can use HTML to do this. So in our HTML, we can upload an image that is 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall and then we can constrain the height down to half of that. And what happens is when it's loaded on a Retina device, you get that double quality, that high quality image. We can also use SVG. SVG images aren't supported natively in WordPress. There's some code you can do to add support. I believe there's also some plugins that you can do to add support for SVG. I personally have had a lot of problems trying to use SVG images on websites. So I tend to go with the easiest method which is usually a plugin. So now we've got our images in there. We've thought about licensing. We've thought about attribution. We've thought about quality and file size. Look at SEO. So images are great for getting people to stay on your page and look at your content. If you've got a post that's a thousand lines long and it's all boring text, long paragraphs, what's gonna happen, somebody lands on that from Facebook or Twitter or Google search, they're gonna see that and it's natural human behavior. We've all done it. We get, there we go. I'm not gonna read that and I'm going to bounce off. And I'm going to go to the next search results and click on that until I get something that's more engaging. So immediately an image engages us seeing that nice quality image that's relevant to the page or post that we're on. It's sticky. It makes us stay on the page. It makes us scroll down. It makes us consume the content easier. Breaks up that long form content. So we know that images are great for getting visitors to our site and keeping them on our site. But what we also wanna do is we want to optimize those images for search engines. And images are great for getting additional SEO, on-page SEO done. So one of the first things we need to understand is image file names. If I take an image with this camera right now with my Nikon, I'm going to get a file that's got some weird random name. Means something to Nikon. I mean something to Apple. But it doesn't mean anything to me and it doesn't mean anything to you. Might be DSC-00093.jpg. That doesn't tell me anything about what the image is. If I take an image and it's called that. So the first thing I want to do is when I have that image on my computer, rename the image. If you're about to upload this image to a page for WordPress development services, rename the image to WordPress-development-services.jpg. Use, you know, if you're optimizing a page or a post for a specific term, use that term as the file name for the image. I tend to avoid underscores and use hyphens instead of spaces. Naturally, Unix Linux-based systems will, when you upload a file name that has spaces, it'll replace the spaces with hyphens. So for me, it's just a personal preference, so. But I, you know, as a rule of thumb, I don't use underscores in file names. Not really, I mean it's just good practice and say I tend to do that and a lot of people, you know, would win. Really? Hmm. Some search engines, first, but they like dashes to separate words, it makes them easier to find. Also, if you are gonna be the ones who are changing it, they can double click on a word to select the whole one. A dash will separate a word, but a underscore will grab everything. Yeah, I mean, can you see this with URLs? If you have a page or post you create, when WordPress creates that permalink, that slug, the URL, all those spaces in that page title are replaced with hyphens. They're not replaced with underscores, so when you look at a URL, it's always hyphens. You really don't see underscores in URLs. Just right click. Just remember you cannot rename the image once it's in WordPress. There's just, there's no way to rename the file because it's stored in the server file system, Linux or whatever you're running as your server, Windows or a Linux file system, and so WordPress has no access to rename that. The only way you could rename it is to FTP into the server and rename it that way, but then you break the connection between WordPress and the file. So, only way to rename images is rename them on your computer before you upload them. If you've got a mature site and you've got images on there now, and you're trying to think about SEO on your site, go through your most popular pages, first of all, the most important pages on your site, download those images, rename them, re-upload them again. I know it's a pain, but again, file names are very, very important to search engines. If you're using the same file on multiple pages, upload it multiple times with the file name different. So, in theory, you really don't want to use the same file, the same image for multiple pages. You want a specific image specific to that page. You don't want a picture of a burger on a page that's all about desserts, so it wouldn't make sense. But there are going to be times when you have the same image, you're re-using over and over again. The mistake that everybody makes is the images in my media library, I can easily embed it by clicking Add New and just selecting it from my media library. That could be the image that I renamed for this specific page over here. So my example of WordPress Development Services, if I've got my image, I've uploaded to my WordPress Development Services page, and I've called the image WordPress Development Services, and I go and re-use that on my WordPress Design Services page. The image is optimized for WordPress Development Services, it no longer makes sense. Google's going to see that and go, well, what gives? It's not, you haven't done proper SEO optimization. So rename the image, re-upload it to use on that specific page. Make sense? You would, so for your front page, you're optimizing it for whatever your website's about. So it's your business, it's usually your business name, and maybe a general description of what your services are. So you would rename those images for that. It's a lot of work, but nobody said SEO is easy. This is how you do things properly. When you upload an image into WordPress, it can set a title, an attribute, and an alt text. Again, you can set these on each post or page. So when you embed an image, again, get back to my example of WordPress Development Services, I'd want to set the alt, tag, and title attribute for that page. Again, optimize that image for that page. Just bear in mind, if you are dealing with ADA compliance, alt text is used for screen readers for people who are blind and need the screen reader to interpret the content on the page. So really the true method of using alt text is to describe the image. But again, if we think about what we're using the image for, to describe our page or to optimize our page for a term, then if you're using a relevant image, not some person pointing at a whiteboard, but you're using a relevant image, then describing that image in the alt text works for both screen readers and for SEO. You can use attachment pages again, yes. And no extensions for browsers. Chrome has a really good extension for monitoring and measuring ADA compliance when you load a page, so yeah. By the way, that's it, yes. So the next one is if you're going to link an image, use attachment page. Again, you style that attachment page. You can add the SEO title, SEO description. So the attachment pages are going to be useful for SEO. And finally include your images in your XML site map that gets submitted to Google. A good SEO plugin like all in one SEO that we do, automatically includes your images and automatically submits those to Google and Bing for indexing in their image search. Images for social media. So we all know the importance these days of social media and good social media marketing. And part of this is when we scroll through our feeds, whether it's Twitter or Instagram or Facebook, it's catching somebody's attention. There's a lot of information that we're consuming. We don't have a lot of time these days. Our attention isn't that great. So we tend to scroll through a feed and we stop when we see something that catches our attention. So really good, high quality image can really help to get that click through on your social share. So this is just, you've created a post and you've put it out there on your blog and people are liking it or tweeting it, sharing it with their friends or just copying the URL for that blog post and posting it in their Facebook page. You're going to get a social share and you want it to look nice. So you can use SEO plugins like All-in-One. Some themes would do this, although I would say it's not the remit of a theme to do this. It's the remit of a plugin. You want to use a plugin to be able to control this, set that image. You'll find the big media publishing houses. They'll create a custom image that's correctly sized just for social shares because it makes a huge difference. It catches that attention. It gets you to click on that, brings that visitor to your blog post and they want to read your content, potentially share it with their friends. So there's some things that we need to understand. One of those, which we get a lot of questions about, causes a lot of problems, is that social share information is cached by those social networks. So when they find or call your content or get notified about your content when somebody likes or tweets or shares, posts the URL onto Facebook or Twitter or LinkedIn, that information is grabbed from your website, from the source code, and then cached, stored for seven days. Some, some, and I'm really just referring to Facebook here, have a tool where you can go in and you can force them to clear that cache. It doesn't always work, but other social networks make it really, really difficult to clear that cache. Twitter, LinkedIn, to examples, it's really, really difficult to get them to force clear that cache. And that causes a problem because you might see the wrong image. You set this nice, beautiful open graph image but Facebook hasn't picked it up, showing the wrong image or it's not showing any image, showing some problem, little thumbnail, whatever, and you want to get them to fetch the correct information and use that for social shares. And so the only way to do that is to go through the rigmarole and to force them to clear their cache. Facebook makes it a little bit easier for you, unfortunately the rest, it's nigh on impossible. All the social media networks have rules about file sizes, so you get that nice looking share instead of some little thumbnail. These are the current file sizes. Again, you can Google, open graph is what it's called, open graph, OG or open graph, image sizes in 2018 and you'll see a list of what the current sizes are for images within content for social shares. We tend to do a lot with Facebook, so we do 1200 pixels by 630 pixels for all of our shares. We get that nice looking, big, wide format image on Facebook and that tends to work well for Instagram and Twitter. Pinterest, of course, the images are vertical format, portrait rather than landscape, so it's a little bit more difficult with Pinterest. So finally, we're gonna talk about caching. So caching and content delivery, CDN. So if you've got a site that's still performing slowly and you wanna look at these things on your phone as well as your desktop, you might browse your site on your desktop and go, oh, that's loading nice and fast. It's loading within two to three seconds, but then you get on a phone and you do it on a 3G or 4G network in a slow part of the country and it's loading really, really slowly, that's gonna affect your visitors. Nobody's gonna wait for your images to load and your page to load. They're gonna just click back and go to your competition. So one of the things we can do to speed up image delivery is Jetpack Photon. It's a really good tool. I believe it's paid service, but what it is is content delivery. So it sucks down all the images from your site and it delivers them to the visitor from what's called a content delivery network. So it's a much, much faster way of delivering images. Caching is another thing we can do. These performance plug-ins like WP Supercache, W3 Total Cache, there's tons of them out there. I tend to use WP Supercache because it's developed by the WordPress.org team. I have a question. Yeah, so we could have a completely separate session about caching. Installing a caching plug-in, people think, oh great, this is gonna speed up my site, but you get this problem where it's actually competing against the caching that's going on on the server side and you may not know what caching your hosting company does. You might phone up support and they don't actually know what caching they're doing. It's until you get to speak to somebody at a second or third level that they can say what caching they've set up on the server and even, again, it may be set up incorrectly. So typically you wanna check documentation for your hosting if they recommend a specific plug-in, if they recommend specific configuration of a plug-in. They might say, well, install WP Supercache but configure it these specific ways. Turn on page cache but turn off database caching or object caching, because we're doing that at the server side. So yes, you can have such a thing as too much caching or caching conflict. So you always wanna check with your hosting provider. So Google Analytics and Yoast are two separate things but all in one and Yoast are both SEO plug-ins. You cannot run them on the same site. You cannot, because what you're doing is you're creating two sets of SEO meta that Google's then looking at and going, wait a minute, you've just duplicated the information it's potentially conflicting. So that just confuses Google and say, well, I'm just gonna give up and sorry, not gonna index your content or I'm gonna penalize you because you're doing something really, really wrong. So yeah, one SEO plug-in and make sure that your theme is not doing anything like SEO. SEO is the remit of a plug-in, not the theme. If you change your theme, you lose all your SEO. If it's in the plug-in, it's independent. You can change your theme all day long. Your SEO is still there. Well, you can. They have a hook where if you install all in one, we hook into Jetpack and we can deactivate their SEO. Sometimes that's not possible. So for example, themes, they might do SEO. That's something you'd need to be aware of and you need to contact the theme developer to find out how do I turn this off because I wanna do it with a plug-in. It's the same with social meta, open graph meta. A lot of themes will do it. A lot of other plugins will add open graph meta and if you wanna control that with an SEO plug-in like all in one, you have to know am I outputting multiple duplicate or conflicting open graph tags because then you have serious problems when you're trying to share information or when visitors are trying to like or pin or tweet that information. So you need to look at your source code and you can do a search for like OG colon and you can see I got multiple blocks of open graph tags and if you see one sets from all in one, you'll always see it says all in one SEO pack and then you'll see the meta from us. You may see a second block that may be coming from another plug-in. It may be coming from your theme. You have to troubleshoot that and figure out where it's coming from and turn it off if you wanna use plug-in to control that. Some alternates to photon. You could use Max CDN or Amazon Cloud Fund. These can get a little bit convoluted. So a lot of times, hosting companies like Bluehost or Inmotion will resell these services that have a preferred partner for CDN and you just contact your hosting company and say, hey, do you have a CDN service that I can use and they'll say, yes, it's gonna cost you this much or it's free or whatever and they can enable it. Just remember that caching and CDN is doing the same thing. It's caching information about your website so you make a change to your content. You have to clear the cache. You have to clear the CDN so that the new information is displayed in browsers. Otherwise, you might look at your site and go, well, hang on a minute, I changed that image but it's not showing up. I know I changed that image. I go into my edit page or edit post. I see I changed that image but when I browse to it, I'm getting the cached image getting the old image from CDN so you always have to force clear those. Yeah, and again, a lot of that can be browser caching. So remember, your browser as well does caching and some browsers do some fairly aggressive caching. Chrome used to have a big problem with aggressive caching of content. It's caching it locally on, if I browse to a site, it's downloading all the content to my local computer and it will pull that before it pulls new content from the website. So you might see what's cached on your local computer. You can use incognito or private mode or you can do that force refresh of your browser. You may have to do that a few times to get the new content pulled down from the website. Yeah, so there's browser caching. Some of these performance plugins like WP Supercache, W3 Total Cache do browser caching as well. So you have to clear the cache there, clear your cache in your browser. If you're running CDN as well, you have to clear the cache in CDN as well. So it's a lot to think about. And of course, there may also be caching going on with the hosting provider you have no idea about. Sometimes you might see some hosting providers have a little thing up on the admin bar that says clear cache. Some don't and so you might be refreshing and doing everything you can and you're still seeing the old content, the old image show up and it's because the hosting company is caching and sometimes the only thing you can do there is wait 12 hours to clear the cache. You can use Google Chrome or I tend to prefer Google Chrome in the inspector, there's a network tab and you can reload your page and it'll give you a couple of numbers down the bottom. I'll show you in a second, we need to finish up here. There's also PageSpeed Insights, it's a free tool from Google where you can test the speed of your page. You can use a tool like Pingdom. Pingdom will measure the page speeds on your site from multiple locations in the world. So you can see what's the page load time for customers in Germany and if you're a business that has customers in Germany, you can see, is my page speed slow in Germany? Is it slow in China or whatever? So let me quickly show you. Here the last thing I'll do is how to use the network tab. So let's just do this. I'm gonna right click, inspect. This is Chrome. There's that network tab. Now if I go to a post, I will see this waterfall. Looks all weird and a lot of information here but two numbers down the bottom. Content loaded in eight point, less than a second, 828 milliseconds and the full page loaded in 1.45 seconds. So that's very fast. Google says they wanna be two or three second page load times. So if you're seeing a page load time of five, six, seven, 10 seconds, you've got a problem and you can actually see from this waterfall what's taking time to load and so you might see that it's an image and that image is 10 meg in size. Okay, now you know I need to go back and optimize that image. And again, just remember that if I reload this page, I may get cached information but I right click, choose inspect. I'm now inspecting the source code of my site so I can do things like changing CSS. So if I go to network, go and load a page or post, I get that waterfall and down the bottom there, 805 milliseconds. Content load, page loaded in 2.3 seconds. All right, if you have any questions, I'll be over at the happiness bar for the next half an hour. My name's Steve Mortiboy. My contact details are here. I will be uploading the slides to slideshare.net and tweeting them out. Thank you very much.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ1rLNJg8yc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Today we have with us Chris Leiden, who is in India. And one of the first to start podcasts, if not the first. We say the first. Is it the first? With another guy who is doing the thinking. And the technology of it. You know, podcast seems to be something quite simple to do. How is it that you people were the first to get this idea? And what made you come to podcast? We had to find something. I had actually been fired from my last job doing public radio because we wanted an ownership piece of what we had invented, what we were doing. And they said, no way, you're fired. So I said I'd better study the web, the new technology. So radio means that you were doing actual proper radio shows? Yeah, regular show. And I'd done a television show before that. I'd done New York Times political reporting before that. Local Boston political reporting before that. But I had done a number of media and I thought, wow, I'd better figure this thing out. And then a guy came who really understood it, a programmer, Dave Weiner. And he came to this Berkman Center at Harvard where I was trying to learn the game. And he said, I wrote to him and I said, yesterday I couldn't spell blog. Tomorrow I want to be one, you know? And he said we'll do it. And he said, you understand radio? I understand syndication, programming. What the world needs, he said, is an MP3 file that can be circulated on the web and to a subscription list. And it took a month or two and we figured it out. And I said, now what do we do? And he said, you're going to interview me. That's the first thing. So I did. And then I started interviewing all sorts of people, especially the people who were remaking media. So basically an MP3 player being able to be downloaded and put into a website. And mailed. Mailed to be. Like you'd mail a document. But there was a funny, important other piece of this, Praveer. The political connection. For me it was all about the Iraq War. The end of 2002, 2003, we knew a war was coming and we knew it was going to be crazy and we knew that all the established legacy media were going to be for it. I don't know why. But the New York Times considered it to be experienced, enlightened papers. The Washington Post, the New Yorker magazine, our own Boston Globe. And they just jumped on the bandwagon of this idiotic war. And I said, no, God gave us the internet to fight back and to try to stop it. And we couldn't stop it as it turned out. But, you know, there was worldwide demonstrations in February, February 15, 2003. And I went to New York and we discovered that, you know, Mayor Bloomberg had blocked off all the streets of the East Side so the demonstrators could not get, like me, ordinary bourgeois Americans couldn't get to the United Nations to protest. And the New York Times barely covered the story. But we realized that suddenly, no, there is an old order of things including media that wants this war. And we're going to have to remake media. And along comes the web. And that's the process that we're still working on, I think, is to reinvent a modern media that lets... Democratizes communication in some way. You know, it's interesting you say that because I was in the U.S. at that time just before the Iraq war was being declared. Probably three to five months before that. And I came back and told my friends, U.S. is going to attack Iraq. They said, why are you saying that? Because there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Everybody knows it. Why would they do it? I said, because not any media house in the United States is willing to carry the story that fundamentally there may not be any WMDs in Iraq. All of them are saying, the WMDs in Iraq, the only question is when will Saddam Hussein own up to it and if they don't then we have to take it out. So you know, this whole discourse has been set when is Saddam going to declare and if he doesn't, when, how do we take the WMDs out of Iraq? So this media discourse, as you were saying, convinced me that Iraq war is coming in spite of the fact that most people in India, including the elite, including media observers, did not believe it. Well, and then Tony Blair signed on. That was, for me, he's the one person in the world who could have said to George Bush, we have been to Iraq in the 20s, we made a mess of it. The imperial order is broken, is over, we're not going with you and we'll fight against it. If he had said that, I think the war could have been stopped. But in fact, it became this great moment when the United States took on the grand role of what was the tattered memory of the British Empire. You know, we go places and on it went. But the strange part for me, and we could get into this, is that American media, the legacy media, the old media, conventional print, but also the old owners, still have not realized that they're responsible for that war. The people understand it. And that's part of the reason why Donald Trump can say the failing New York Times. He doesn't go on, but people know that they were wrong on the disaster of our modern place in the world, including the torture, including, you know, now the drone war. We were good guys in World War II. We're now the monsters with these air attacks, killing vast numbers of civilians. And we don't care. We don't know the people. And we don't even get our facts straight. Colin Powell goes to the United Nations and says, this is what we're doing in Hawaii. They all cooked up bad evidence. I mean, it's become a nightmare. And the old media, to a great degree, has not said, you know, I'm so sorry. You know, Chris, that's the other part which surprises me sitting in India. That a media which disgraced itself during the Iraq war by supporting something which they knew was wrong. And now when it says the same thing again and again, that you have Syria, chemical weapons, you have X, you have Russia, Ukraine, you name it, the story goes on. And they seem to have remade the consensus which might have broken during the Iraq war or post Iraq war that there was something wrong with what the Iraq war evidence was. But they seem to have remade it in a way that, A, the media is today completely convinced that they need a war with Russia, both sides nuclear weapons. They believe they need to have regime changes all over the world. You have huge number of now commandos in Africa which comes out occasionally when there is a disaster and some people get killed, some of the commandos get killed. So how is it that the old media which should have said at least confessed to their complicity in the war, how did they still have become not only, shall we say, carrying the government propaganda, but actually wanting a war and a nuclear weapon... I don't know, some people think the Democratic Party, including Hillary Clinton, that generation wants a war with Russia. I can't imagine why, but they have not renounced... We don't talk peace in the United States anymore. That is not a goal. And it mystifies me. I think at a popular level, I think there's a tremendous anger about this. You know, those so-called red states and particularly the counties in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, places like that that for economic reasons, party reasons, should vote Democratic, they voted for Trump. And it's been very carefully documented that the counties that lost most men to those wars, Iraq and Afghanistan and the Middle East wars, those are the ones that turned for Trump. I mean, like, get us out of this war, this kind of what they call the forever war, the eternal war, endless war. I think the people know better, and I think sooner or later, it'll break through. But meantime, we have the story. I just want to say I am amazed, Prabir, at what is going on in India with new media. Not only the digitization of popular media, but specifically podcasting. I mean, I'm talking about news click, but also the wire, also scroll, also what the BBC is doing with podcasts, also what our friend, I've been undone, is doing at the news laundry. You are putting together sort of assorted independent voices on these new platforms. So it's not just one voice, like mine, but it's a whole magazine full of interesting, independent, non-commercial, non-sponsored, not imperial voices. I think they're going to transform your world, and I want to get in on it. I want to figure out what you're doing and how we can do it in America. We have some. Huffington Post looked like a site for independent writers, but then it became very commercial, and it was a lot of money. There were tons of money, and it got sold. There are things like Jacobin Magazine, others that do good reporting. It's alternate. It's good. There's a lot of... There's black agenda report. Truth dig. I mean, there are goodly numbers of them, but to put... My dream would be to put together a portfolio of conversation commentary on not an infinite number, but say start with... For example, people love to talk about music. It's something I've learned in doing radio. When people talk about music, they're really talking their religion. It's a sort of religion one step removed. It's indeed football as well. Or cricket. Exactly. And sometimes food. But literature, books, science. We live in really a world capital of medical science, computer science, genetic editing in Boston, Harvard, MIT, some of the most advanced workers. And nobody covers it. Nobody knows how to cover it. Artificial intelligence which may... Absolutely. ...change or destroy our world. Exactly. Exactly. And we've done some of that. We're now putting artificial intelligence into weapon systems, which I think is a big danger. To get a podcast conversation going on that with people who know something and make it intelligible for people who don't know it, this is my new ambition. I'd like to have a sort of a whole grab bag of subjects in which the best conversation is on our site. And it would be interesting, I think, to you. I want to get Indian voices, Indian thinking. The next time we even think of going to war, we've got to talk to India. You guys won't get a vote. But as you said, maybe you get a veto. I have always argued since U.S. President effectively becomes the most important or the powerful person in the world, you guys can elect the president, but the rest of the world should have a veto. Otherwise, we are all endangered by your president. We can work it out sometime later. As long as the United States recognises that its exceptionalism is actually endangering the whole world, not just the United States. If you continue with climate change, it endangers all of us. If you continue with the kind of nuclear brinkpanship that the U.S. is doing right now with Russia, you are really endangering the world in ways which you end humanity. And it's also interesting, the first time the media, by and large, has said there should have been no summit at all. Now this is that you don't want to even talk to another nuclear armed state is amazing to me. Of course, India and Pakistan are not behaving much better on that, but that apart. The question is that this tone of the media, that no talk, and we should take out Russians with what is it, cyber weapons. This is the kind of madness that is being talked about. But coming back to other issues. Israel and the Saudis should take out Iran with, you know, hacking, super hacking. Super hacking and with U.S. troops. Let's be also clear. U.S. missiles and God knows where the troops will come from, but the United States won't send troops for that. Saudis like to fight with mercenary troops. That's what they're doing in Yemen. And again, it's a huge, shall we say, blot on us, civilizational ethos that you have a country today in which one million people are affected with cholera. You have destroyed their complete water and sewage systems. And there is no voice in the world against it. Because the world media doesn't see it as an issue. The 20 million people at the risk of starvation and death. So I think there's something wrong with the world that we are in and the voices that we are able to raise.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZV_jhFgFpU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I started looking up the history of Freeport and got connected with Gordon, who is the master, and another guy named Rod Chapman, and the stuff that we figured out. Then we got this little church. He bought this church to put all the historical stuff in here, which is amazing. And now I belong to Freeport Renaissance Association. We have events like September by the River and Christmas in Freeport, and the money that we make there helps beautify and revitalize Freeport. And that's what I do here. I'm Gordon Brenneman. I've been a long time Freeport area resident. I was born right over here on the 6th Street. Started out collecting airheads and running around through the area, looking for airheads and digging them up. Just started getting interested in other sections of the history. We needed a place for the History Center. This was the perfect place. I've always hated to see these old buildings torn down. So I thought, well, this won't get torn down while I have it. This was built in 1837. It's one of the oldest buildings in Freeport now. Freeport is actually known as the jewel on the Allegheny River. We have a gazebo down there that's beautiful. We put docks in there down there. So it is a friendly, beautiful little burrow. Of course, there's the Guggenheimer Distillery, and they were the largest distillery of Rye Whiskey in the world. They had several locations here. One was down in the lower end of Freeport and went over near Laneville, and then the main section was on the island up there, or what we call the island now. They produced the Rye Whiskey, with several bottles over here that the label's still on them. We have Massey Harbison. He was a settler here, and the Indians came and raided her house and took her hostage. I'll read it a little bit to you. The most famous town in Freeport history was captured by Indians of an early settler named Massey Harbison. Years before the time was established, Mrs. Harbison and her soldier husband, John Harbison, settled in the area. One day in 1792, while Harbison was on a scouting trip, Indians raided his house, murdered Harbison's three-year-old boy, and took his wife and five-year-old son and baby captain. They forced the women and children to travel on foot into what is now Butler County, where the five-year-old was also killed. After six days, Mrs. Harbison escaped with her baby. They made their way to a cow path that led to Six Mile Island, just across a river where Highland Park is today. There she saw three men on the opposite side of the river. One of the men came across to rescue her. It is recorded that she was returned to safety. About 150 thorns were removed from her feet. She was reunited with her husband, John, the next day, and they moved from Freeport to Slatelik. They would later return to Freeport. We also have a famous actor that was born here, Dawn Taylor from a while ago. He was born in 1920. I'm sure some of the older people will remember him. He was a very good looking guy. He was an actor and a director from 1943 to 1988. He's very handsome. Then we have the grist bill that's down here. They milled flour down there. It closed its doors in 1965, ending a 67-year of Mickey's mill milling business. The original equipment is still in there. The mill also serves as a stop along the Butler to Freeport trail. The Buffalo Creek route of the trail extends into Laneville. They use that trail to get down there and to visit this old historical place. We have another guy. We have Dr. David Alter, a famous inventor. He made an electric motor and a little later he announced the development of a telegraph that could speak, in other words, the telephone. So we have a famous invented spectrum analysis. Yes. A lot of stuff is a big huge tombstone up in the cemetery here. Yes, exactly. It has all the stuff he did carved into. And then in 1840 the physician constructed what he called an electric buggy, the forerunner of the automobile. He invented a rotary motor for the extraction of oil from coal. He invented a process to extract bromides from the waste of salt wells along Allegheny River. Bromides had been scarce and very costly. He was Freeport's first photographer taking pictures only for his own amusement. And he has some kind of a technique for spectrum analysis. He was born in 1807. He was the first doctor that would travel by horseback to go for his patients. So he was also a doctor along with an inventor. So he was a very famous man. Dutch Lobby was the president of Freeport Brick Company. And when you come into Freeport or the road to the left, it goes back into the Brick Company. It was fairly large business. They made fire bricks for in furnaces for steel mills and so on. And Dutch was quite a fellow. It was a huge industry. He developed the Freeport Park, started up there in about 1963 I believe. The community park and the swimming pool and tennis courts and he did that for the community. They had a railroad up there that went all the way around the park and several places you could see over the mountain and see all of Laneville, part of Freeport. Quite an extensive head and old railroad caboose up there. A rocket ship and a tank. Original tanks and Second World War and a fighter plane. Those all fixed up so you could crawl through it.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZMgdnehSa0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCtu8MkufmVgxS8_Ocl7mMig	The power of pulses	We see them at the grocery store, the farmer’s market and as side orders served with our favourite dish. In many countries, they are part of the cultural heritage and are consumed on a regular or even daily basis. In other parts of the world, they hardly garner a mention except when served in a soup on a cold winter’s day. World Pulses Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses and their contribution to sustainable food systems and a world without hunger.

Nick Claxton, Rookie Silver for the Nets, Brian Orozco. Jalen McDaniels for the Hornets, Joseph Barton. Bismac-Biambo, Red Wave for the Hornets, Joseph Barton. Rui, Wizards, Brian Orozco. Love me some Rui. Kobe, centering on these looks really good, by the way, guys. So for anybody that's looking to potentially grade and stuff, just from my quick look on them, left to right looks good. Okay, last part of box one and then a full another box after this. Matisse Thible for the 76ers, Alex Valdesacos. Dylan Wendler for the Cavaliers, Brian Orozco. Chris Dunn for the Bowls, Yancy. Nikhil Alexander Walker for the Pelicans, Danny Giantsopoulos. Deandre Hunter for the Hawks, Brian Orozco. Seku Demboya, Instant Impact Silver for the Pistons. That is Danny Giantsopoulos. Ben Simmons Green for the 76ers, Alex Valdesacos and Grant Williams for the Celtics, Alex Valdesacos to end it. So nice first box, some nice rookie color in there, which is obviously what we're going for, unless it's gonna be a big time superstar name. If you were to be involved in a police chase, like the one I'm launching right now, and you had a gas vehicle, what would you do your plan to get enough room to get some gas if you were like running low? What would you do? Would you drive like super reckless just to get like a little bit of space and then like pull into a gas station? How would you do that? Whoa, he had a gun. Steal another car, Rebel. Drive slow in the Prius, that's a good one. Because Prius regenerates, right, Oliver? I was thinking about that with like an electric car. It regenerates its mileage, right? No time to fill up. So like if you just drove slow enough, does anybody know if a Tesla does that too? Does a Tesla regenerate its mileage if you drive slow enough? Well, that's what we're figuring out, Rex. If you drive slow enough, it's not using energy, but the power train is adding to it, right? What's Tesla? It does not, Rebel says. Tesla does not regenerate power. You're gonna run Prius it is. Do new models of Prius still regenerate? Why is that, Oliver? Because like if you're not causing harm or like enough harm to the neighborhood, they'll just end the chase or what? I watch the police pursuit forever. This is so exciting. They've got like different graphics up in the top corner to show like which direction. It's a helicopter, so it's kind of deceiving. Like I can't tell if the car's going that direction or the helicopter is facing that direction. That they should change the graphic on, but then they're showing him going nine miles per hour currently, nine. Oh, bumped it up to 40. No, he didn't, he's still going that speed. So the graphics are off a little bit. Oh, okay. So they can't stop you if you're not causing a risk to the public, makes sense. Oncoming traffic, reckless driving. KTLA, shout out KTLA if you wanna sponsor us. Hmm, interesting. So what, like they just get long enough to drive that they hope they can figure out a plan. Okay, good luck guys, box two. Do we have the auto right in the front again? Kevin Huter, John Wall, Alan Semalgic, rookie silver for the Warriors, Joseph Barton, Jalen Hands for the Nets, going to Brian Orozco, and our auto, Bruce Bowen, penmanship auto for the Spurs, Joseph Barton. Kyle Guy, red wave rookie for the Kings, Brian Ferguson. Cameron Johnson, emergent silver for the Suns, Sean Maddock, KZOC Paulo for the Heat, Sean Maddock. Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't leave in the middle of a chase. Wilt Chamberlain, silver for the Lakers, Joseph Barton, Darius Basley for the Thunder, Danny Giansopolis, Tyler Hero, instant impact for the Heat, Sean Maddock. Just ended it, ended it for friends. Is anybody else in the LA area watching this? You can tell me what channel it's on. They just cut away from a chase to watch friends. Won't stand for that. You're else on CBS? I think that's two on Direct TV right? Or is it two up two? This is late night with Stephen Colbert. Yeah, I think I'm SOL, you know what I mean? Darius Garland for the Cavaliers, Brian Orozco. Rudy Gay, green for the Spurs, Joseph Barton, Nikhil Alexander Walker for the Pelicans, Danny Giansopolis. Andre Roberson Silver for the Thunder, Danny Giansopolis. Kevin Garnett, Red Wave, Timberwolves, Billy Doherty, Cody Martin for the Hornets, Joseph Barton. Luca Height for the Mavericks, Joshua Cherry. Trey Young Dominance, second year Trey for the Hawks, Brian Orozco, and Tyler Hero. Bass for the Heat, Sean Maddock. I got two monitors, but they're both being used. One so I can see what you guys are seeing and one so I can pull up all the spreadsheets and stuff that you guys can see when I'm doing the randomizers and stuff like that. No extra monitors. I don't know how you can stream on YouTube if you're already streaming yourself too. You guys will just have to deal with me. Cameron Johnson, Rookie Silver for the Suns. Sean Maddock, very nice. Romeo Langford for the Celtics, Alex Falasacos, Daniel Gafford for the Bulls, Yancy. Jordan Poole for the Warriors, Joseph Barton, Jerick Culver for the Timberwolves, Billy Doherty. RJ Barrett Green for the Knicks, Edward Sopulveda. Congrats, Edward. Carson Edwards for the Celtics, Alex Falasacos. Kobe for the Lakers, Joseph Barton. Luca Silver, Mavericks, Joshua Cherry. All the good stuff's hiding right here. Gorin Dragich, Red Wave for the Heat, Sean Maddock. Matisse Thible, we know who that means. Should be right there, right? Hopefully. 76ers, Alex Falasacos. Is he gonna, are we gonna have it? Is he gonna be in there? Let's see, nice little run right there in that quarter. We'll see, we will see. I think we got enough in there, right? Cause it's like, I think it's like either the next pack after that would be Zion. So I think we've got enough there to make it so that Zion will be in this one. Who's got Pelicans, Danny? Thible is very slept on. Great defensive player, Alexander. Like, I really like him. I think he's more of a Kawhi Leonard, defensive specialist that hopefully can work on his offense as well and contribute more. But dude is a shut down defender. And if the 76ers are gonna make a deep run, he could play a very big part. Here we go. Last portion of the box too. Giannis Dominance, and there he is. It does work. Zion Williamson for the Pelicans, Danny Giantsopoulos. Very nice. I hear he's pretty good. Kobe White for the Bulls. Yancy, Gorin Dragich for the Heat. Sean Maddock, Goga Patadze for the Pacers. Joshua Cherry, Lebron. Cavaliers, Brian Orozco. DeAndre Hunter for the Hawks. Brian Orozco, Eric Pascal for the Warriors. Joseph Barton. Isaiah Thomas for the Pistons. Danny Giantsopoulos, and that will do it for us. You mean a whole lot of dollars, what you're saying, Flier. There you go, guys. That's our two box break. 2019, 2020, Panini Prison Basketball Retail. Two box break, random team number four, where every spot gets you two random teams. I'm Sean, jaspyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for hanging out. Next one is in the store now.

UCavA-ytYZvAUH6t4BzqPkEw	Boundary Layer (sed strat)	A boundary layer develops where flows contact stationary surfaces, like the sides of river channels. In this video, I discuss how flow speed changes near surfaces, with implications for the Reynolds number. I define the boundary layer and the laminar sublayer within the boundary layer.	[ "geology", "sedimentology", "lecture", "ucdavis" ]	2020-04-02T20:28:52	2024-02-05T08:24:47	576	VZbO3lyB6NQ	So, the Reynolds number varies within a flow. If you have the same fluid, for example, water, the density and viscosity remain constant, and so those aren't likely to flow, those don't change within, say, for example, a channel. However, the flow speed and the flow depth vary within a water flow, both as the geometry of the flow changes, but also with depth into the flow. So what I want to talk about in this video is a boundary layer that is present at the edge of any water flow, or ice flow or air flow, for that matter. So if we look at a water, we're going to have the flow generally to the right, and then we have our solid surface down at the bottom, and this will be our water here. One of the things that happens at the base of the flow, if we look at this right here, there's friction between the surface and the solid, and that's because the water molecules flowing or interacting with the bottom of the flow, which is stationary, and you have again those hydrogen bonds create a boundary layer. And so right at this solid surface here, the flow speed right above it is zero. And so our flow speed is u, so right here, u equals zero because of that friction. But the rest of the bulk of the water is still flowing downstream. So what we can do is we can make a plot of the flow speed versus water. So I've now moved my diagram over so I can plot flow speed with depth in the flow. So this is our flow, it goes to zero, and then there'll be some average flow. I'm going to say u bar, so u bar equals the average flow speed. And then this is our flow depth, or the height above, this will be the height above the surface here. So this is, and I'm going to call this variable z. And at the top of the flow here, it goes, the height above the flow surface goes from zero to L. So this L is our flow depth for the Reynolds number, and that's equal to the surface of the flow. So we talked about the friction, so the flow speed right at the bottom here is zero, and I will use a different color. And then most of the flow is going at about the average flow speed. So most of the flow is going up like this. So we have a flow here that's going fast and here that's going zero. So what happens is this flow is going slowly, it exerts a little bit, or it's not moving at all, it exerts a little bit of friction on the flow that's above it, that exerts a little friction on the flow above that. And then as you come down, the fast flow here is pulling the water below it downstream. So the flow goes a little bit higher and it increases until you hit the average flow speed here. So if we think about it in terms of the Reynolds number, if we look at where the flow speed is zero right at the surface here, our density of viscosity are the same, and so we have our Reynolds number equals a flow speed of zero times our density over the viscosity, these don't matter, so our Reynolds number is actually zero. So if we look up here, our Reynolds number is the average flow speed, or u bar, times the flow depth, times the density divided by the viscosity up in this zone here. So then there's this transition from the Reynolds number of zero, and if the Reynolds number is less than 500, it's a laminar flow. So we have this zone in here that's laminar, once the flow is just infinitesimally above zero, and this for water is almost always turbulent. So we have a turbulent flow here, and then in the middle here somewhere we go from a laminar flow to a turbulent flow. And so what we do is we define the flow speed here, depending on the flow depth where the Reynolds number is 500. Everything below, with a z lower than this point, has a laminar flow. And then in between the two, so this is the zone where Reynolds number is less than 500. So in this zone here, you then have an interval where the flow speed is influenced by the bottom of the surface. And so we have different names for these three components. So this one where the Reynolds number is zero is called, because the flow is laminar, it's called the laminar sublayer. And then this whole zone that's influenced by the boundary in here is called the boundary layer. So the laminar sublayer is part of the boundary layer because it's influenced by this bottom part. Then you have the main flow up here. So in summary, what we have is a solid surface that creates friction. That friction slows down the flow that's in touch with it. That friction is long as transmitted upward in the flow to the top of the boundary layer. And then you have the rest of the flow going at an average flow speed downstream. The laminar sublayer is this part at the bottom where the Reynolds number is less than 500, and that's why it's called the laminar flow. It's sometimes also called the viscous sublayer, and that's because the force of viscosity has a larger influence on the behavior of the fluid than the kinetic forces related to the flow speed. So we're going to use the term laminar sublayer, but if you want you can also use viscous sublayer for that. Thanks for watching.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZbO3lyB6NQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

How did you and him end up even knowing each other? I knew Jr. before that, I'm just like, really shit, but this shot is United's situation. I don't be that long with the net. That's probably be some, that probably be some UGK type of. I'm sure. And in your entire career till today, in your opinion, which song that you have that you would say it's your biggest? Locked In. Locked In, why? Right now it's at like 304, it did like 100,000 views and like some, like a month. And this was my first shot, it was 2019, I was fresh out. So I just, we just pulled up in this little shot of video, it took off. Wow, that's crazy man. So it draw a lot of attention. I feel like, and then, was so crazy about it, I dropped, before I signed it, I dropped two mixed tapes, it got a lot of attention, you know what I'm saying, but I slowed down on dropping music. But who came to you, like I see you with James Prince Jr. in the car, like that's the first thing to power up when you see it. How did you and him end up even knowing each other? I knew Junior before that, I was on just like, regular shit, but the Saudi United situation, the person that made Saudi United, Big E, Big E made Saudi United. He's rapper like him and Nader, what, you know what I'm saying? They ran the music label for Saudi United, and they rap a lot. So it's like a branch and rap a lot of Saudi United in, you know what I'm saying, so I gotta ask you this, man, because I've asked everybody to stop down here in Houston, Texas, when, where would you add when takeoff was, was basically killed? I was at home. He was at home? What did you think when you first heard about that? Dang, that's a legend, brother. So that is huge man, RIP takeoff, RIP takeoff, crazy situation. So being, you know, being that, I mean, you have, you hear all these stories. Don't know none of them out. We wasn't there. We don't know what went on. But just being in Houston and the way you move, how is that affected or changed the way you think about how you move in the streets? It just because of you got to realize how people looking at this. Anything can happen, bro. At any time. Anytime. So when you look at being, being, because there are so many different things on the internet, we don't know what's true, but we do know what's being said when you look at what they're saying and then your affiliations with like, say, junior and all this different stuff that wraps around it. Well, how does that affect you mentally? It, it, it don't cause like anything, anything can happen. So yeah, I'm not in the room to even speak on like, I wasn't in the room, so I don't know what you're going to say to yourself. I don't like if I'm not in the room and when he said my own two eyes, I don't believe you don't know what what's what. Yeah, because like I said, we don't know what the situation was, but we do know that they, they were down here hanging out or whatnot. But I just think that it was a very unfortunate situation, but I do know that that it's something to where we have to find a way to mend a heck of a gap. You know what I mean? Between different situations that's not taking place. You know, we definitely want to try to figure out a way to show love through this situation. No, so we love Migos. We love Jane Prince, Junior. Yeah, we love P. We love all these people. Yeah, we got to find a way to make sure that we figure out a way to build the bridge and not a wall. Yeah, you follow me? Yeah, because of the way that this whole thing can turn. It can turn real ugly over whatever the situation may be. And it may be a lot of other people that, you know, just a bunch of fools doing crazy stuff. You know, I'm telling the truth. And I feel like the internet play a big part in the internet play a huge part in. I can't say big part play the biggest part. That's right. You know what I'm saying? So the internet, who's to say we don't even know what's going on? Oh, what's really going on? What's really going down? We like I say, we went in the room, you know what I'm saying? The internet can make a situation a million times worse. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZWhlqAmMZA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

What's up, you guys? It's Zodana. Welcome to Pants. That is what we are going to be talking about all week, you guys. We're going to be talking about the pants. What is the pants? It is the most important test any PA student will ever take because it's what takes you from a PA to a P-A-C. That's right. We want to be a P-A-C, not just a P-A, and to do that, you have to take the pants. That's what this video is going to be about. It's going to be about the structure of the pants. If you're going to take this test, you want to know what you're getting into, right? That's what I'm going to give you guys a little bit of information about. If you haven't already done so, go ahead and subscribe to my channel and follow me on Instagram, Adodana, the PA right now. All right, you guys. The pants, right? Where are you going to get all of this information for this big test that we're going to be studying for the PA national certification exam? We're going to go to nccapa.net. That is our certification body. That's where you're going to get all of the information with respect to what the pants is, how is it structured, how is it scored, or those type of information. I'm also going to give you a brief synopsis of that right here, right now. The pants is a five-hour test, yes, five hours. You're going to be doing this test. It's broken down into 60-minute blocks, and there are 60 questions in each 60-minute block, but you also have a 15-minute break, totaling 45 minutes. You have three breaks in that five-hour time period to just go out, refuel, drink some water, go use the bathroom, because you cannot leave while you're in the test unless you're on your break time, because they want to cut down on any assemblance of cheating whatsoever. You're going to have to do all of that during your 15-minute break. That's essentially the start of the exam. You have 300 questions, five hours to do this test, 60 minutes for 60 questions, so a minute a question. Schools do a really good job of trying to get you to that point where they break down. They start you off at maybe 90 minutes, so you'll do 90 seconds a question, and then they'll bring you down to actually doing a question in a minute. That is something that's very important. Also, the pants is broken down into your different sections. Like I said, if you go to nccpa.net's website, you can find a breakdown of the pants through their blueprint. The blueprint is huge. It's a lot of pages, but it goes so in-depth into exactly what you're going to be talking about. With respect to the blueprint, it will tell you all of the different sections that you really need to know, what you're possibly going to be tested on, and those different disease processes in that section. It's really, really good and really helpful to go to nccpa.net's website to actually figure all that information out. In this video, I was able to partner with Kaplan to actually do this video and provide you guys, all of my viewers and subscribers, a code, a link, I will leave it in the description box below, where you can get the extra added help that you need to prepare for the pants. Expert lecturers, teachers in pants prep, and then also it will give you an opportunity to have a kind of personalized lecture for you and for pants prep and pants review. My code, which is Adana 15, it will be down there. You can hit the link, go there, you'll get 15% off, but they are running a special right now for 20% off. It's a back-to-school special that you can get 20% off of the services that they're providing. Go on, hit that up right now. With that being said, it helps you in understanding these different sections. So like I said, how it's broken down into different sections, your renal section, now that is your kidneys. Partiovascular. You'll have dermatologic, your ENT, your endocrine, your GI, your GU, your hematologic, infectious diseases, musculoskeletal, neurological, psych, hominology, and reproductive. So all of those will total out to be 100% of your pants grade. Like I said, the blueprint goes in and it makes sure that you know exactly what specific disease is in that overall organ system that you should know. For instance, like a triple A, you need to know what a triple A is, and you need to know stable angina versus unstable angina for the cardiology system. And it will definitely break it down, bullet point exactly everything that you need to know or possibly could be tested on your pants in that particular section. But also they do this thing where they break it down into tasks. So for your task, you'll have something like, let's say, history taken. So you're going to need to know how to take a good H&P because you're going to have to write that down. And let's say you were given a question stem and you're given all this information. You have to be able to pull out all of the right information from that patient's history to make sure that you get the correct disease. You'll have your history taken, which is worth 17% of your pants. Your diagnostic and laboratory studies, which is worth 12% of your pants. You'll have getting the correct diagnosis, which is worth 18% of your pants, which makes sense because you have to be able to get the correct diagnosis when you're out in the actual field. You don't want to be diagnosed with, you know, I don't know, pancreatic cancer when you're actually have, I don't know, liver cancer or you have lung cancer. That's just really poor medicine and bad form because then you're going to be treated for pancreatic cancer when you really should be treating for lung cancer. So that is part of the whole system, making sure that you get the correct diagnosis. The other thing is your health maintenance and patient education, which is worth 10%. It comprises 10% of the pants. So in that 13% of your cardiovascular questions that you can possibly have out of the 300 questions that you're going to be given, you're going to probably see a percentage of them or a large percentage is going to be about getting the correct diagnosis and then also health maintenance and patient education. Are you telling the patient exactly what they need to do going forward to make sure that they continue to have good health? So that's something that's also very important. You're going to be tested on your clinical intervention, which is worth 14% of the overall questions that you're going to ask, get asked. You're also going to be tested on your pharmaceutical therapeutic intervention, which is also worth 14%. And that's really big. I learned and I saw this just on my rotations as I'm doing them right now, that you need to know what are the correct drugs to treat this particular person and their different comorbidities because let's say you don't want to use a drug that's going to exacerbate their heart condition even more. Although it may be the first line treatment, you want to make sure that you're catering to that patient. So you have to know the side effects and the different drug interactions of all of their different pharmaceuticals that you're going to be prescribing. Applying the basic science concepts is also part of what you're going to be tested on in your pants. That is 10% of your question stems that you're going to see and then professional practice. Like as a PA, how are you operating professionally? So we have two major sections on how it's broken down. Organ systems, which talks about your assessment and diagnosis of that particular disease process and then also understanding that you have a knowledge and a skill set of that disease. And then your task categories, which just kind of goes in further into more depth on are you getting the correct diagnosis? Are you using the right drugs? Are you using the right clinical interventions? Are you using the right laboratory studies? Or do you know what laboratory studies correlate with this particular disease? So it's important to you guys that you go into your research. You have to have to know that, hey, I just don't need to know the disease or be able to recognize the disease. I also need to know what's the first, second and third line treatment of this disease. I know that's hard for you to wrap your mind around. You're like, oh man, how am I going to keep all of this information in my mind, right? How am I going to know all of these different treatments? But it's important for you to know that because when you're out in the field and you have a patient that is allergic to the first line treatment, then knowing the second and third line treatment is going to be beneficial. So hopefully this video helps you guys understand a little bit more on how exactly the PANTS is structured. It's structured based on organ systems and then tasks that you all have to understand. It's also a five hour exam that is comprised of 300 questions in 60 minute blocks, right? Really quick, short, concise for you. Hopefully you guys can hit that Kaplan website. You guys go to that link. It will help you with respect to having a teacher and then also kind of lectures that you can look at on different topics. Again, use my code ADANA15. The link will be down in the description box below. And if you already haven't done so, go ahead and subscribe. Thank you guys so much for watching and join me for the rest of PANTS week.

UCKFpzEc1o4Lx6AmawVNUaHQ	Response cost		[ "applied behavior analysis", "punishment", "negative", "response", "cost", "psychcore", "behavior beast", "fine", "tokens", "bonus" ]	2018-02-16T05:52:45	2024-02-05T06:35:36	593	vZRNFomJLM4	I think we'll start this out with the demo. We've got the Hilbert chain, as you're going to have eight passes. I wonder if I'm a bit loud. You grabbed by the function fuller. Yeah. We might be wrong. We're funny. But not always a gentleman. You know what I'm saying. Response is going to cost you something, right? Isn't that, I mean, screw it. We'll just end the lecture right there. I mean, that's just, that's kind of all you need to know. So another thing we want to cover when we're talking about negative punishment. So the reduction of a behavior by the removal of the stimulus, right? So a negative punishment. Another way to think of it is response cost, right? Response cost is, I love the term. Just the terminology itself describes exactly what's going on. A particular response is going to cost you something, right? So that cost you something, that's the part that has the power, right? So when we're thinking about response cost, if the person engages in the inappropriate behavior, we're going to remove some type of reinforcer and get a certain amount of reinforcement. So let's say we got a kiddo in a school, right? So the kiddo is engaging in inappropriate behavior in the classroom. The teacher says, that's it. I've had enough. You are going to lose two minutes of recess. So they took away two minutes of the recess because of the inappropriate responding. So that's a response cost. Now, the funny thing is, I kind of described a group scenario of response cost, which is highly effective. I've been through basic training. I know that that's how they do it in the military, right? So you engage in a behavior as a group. So if I screwed something up, the entire group paid the price, which then created a whole other social control thing and all sorts of other stuff that we don't need to get into right now. But response cost is an important tool, right? Oftentimes you're going to hear it used in combination with things like recess. You'll hear it used in combination with tokens. So speaking of tokens, I got me some tokens. I just get all the tokens, right? And I like the tokens. I hoard the tokens. I'm a token hoarder, right? So around here, we like to use tokens. That was kind of cool. All right. So around here, we like to use tokens. And when we catch you doing well, which we tend to do a lot, which is why we got a lot of tokens. So we catch the kiddos doing well. So we drop some tokens for them. All right. So, hey, congratulations. You earned two marbles. Or hey, congratulations. You earned a marble. And we often describe exactly what it is, right? Because we're trying to reinforce. But sometimes, not very often. Sometimes because we actually, I must kind of lying to you a little bit, that we do tend to be fairly thin on our reinforcers with the delivery of tokens. Just, it's a parenting thing. We're not being great behavior analysts with it. We're just kind of screwing it up. So we're kind of thin. So we have to be aware of that. And we don't use a lot of response costs, but we could. Let's say this is the batch of tokens that my kiddo had earned this week for being good. That's a lot of darn tokens. But then maybe he walks up and kicks the dog. All right. So I'm going to take 17 tokens from you. So for kicking the dog, I took 17 tokens away. Okay. So that response cost you a bunch of tokens. Now, that's one effective tool. There's other type of response costs that you could do. You could ground people, right? So take away their social fun. You could take away their, dude, the best form of response cost for the teenager, is to take away their telephones. Because, oh my gosh, the power of that is unbelievable. Give it to me for five days. That's mine. Right? So that's a response cost scenario. I'm taking away video games. That's what my dad used to do to me. He's taken away the Atari. That dates me a little bit, but whatever. So yank the Atari. That's a response cost. Oh, here's another good one. You're sitting at the poker table, right? And you make the wrong call. I'm going to lose me some tokens. I'm going to lose me some chips. Okay. So, and that's specifically money. So that's money going down the drain, which that's not a very good thing. Right? And you can tell how I play poker by just throwing my chips away. So that's all response costs. So the thing about the tokens and about the poker chips, though, is kind of cool because that gets you thinking about money. Money gets you thinking about fines. There you go. Right? Fines, like getting a ticket. That's actually response cost. It's the loss of money. Not only the loss of money from paying the ticket, but the loss of money from the insurance company that's going to yank extra money from it. That's sometimes it's not okay to speed, right? You're going to, the response cost is kind of heavy. So, again, immediacy. I'm sorry, my brain's kind of going crazy here. So there's a whole bunch of stuff that's associated with the response cost. And just like the rest of behavior analysis, it seems to be that immediacy and those types of things have an important effect. So if you're going to implement response costs, don't do it like, all right, in four days, when we get back to the house, we're going to go ahead and take your tokens away from you. No, no, no. Take them away now. So that's what the poker table response cost is highly effective. I bet on the wrong thing, tokens are gone right away. Now, cop pulls me over for speeding down the road. Money's not gone right away. Is it effective? I don't know. It depends on my future behavior. Is my behavior going to reduce? The speeding going to reduce? Then it might have been effective. If not, then it wasn't. But again, immediacy is really important. So I've been covering what's called basic response cost. You can also do bonus response cost. This is kind of cool. I'm going to get those tokens again. So imagine if I gave somebody, if I knew that somebody was going to be working on some new skills. And think about what I just said. So if I'm kind of building up some new skills, there's lots of opportunities for you to make some mistakes. And I might want to punish those mistakes for removing tokens. What I don't want to do is dip into your entire bucket and take all your tokens away from you. That's just a bad idea. So I'll get into why here in a moment. So what I can do is give you some extra tokens to start the day with. And then I can work with those. So if I give you a batch of extra tokens, now we're talking about bonus response cost here. So I'll say, I start the day by saying, hey, congratulations. Welcome to class. Here's an extra 42 tokens. So I give you these tokens to start the day. But I have to set these aside. Now, because they're set aside, now I'm going to start peeling out of those for response cost. So I'm going to pull those things out of there. Notice I haven't touched your regular token. So I'm not really messing with what you've already earned. I'm messing with what you could have earned, which is interesting. So anyway, bonus response cost pretty cool, because you give people extra things. My teachers did this when I was a kid. They would give you extra recess at the beginning of the day. And then if the class was engaging in appropriate behavior, you could keep it. But each time they did something naughty, they would cross a minute off or something like that from the recess. So you would start to lose that bonus reinforcer, let's see what else we got. The bonus response cost is a useful procedure because it helps you avoid a scenario where the person loses all their reinforcers. That's really bad. If I start punishing so much that all of your tokens are gone or all of your sources of reinforcement from your world have been removed, your behavior is going to do all sorts of wacky stuff and most of it's not going to be stuff that I want. When I get you to that point where all reinforcers are gone, you're going to get frustrated. You're going to possibly even get violent. There's going to be aggression. There's going to be all sorts of things that are going to pop up. So we don't want that scenario to happen. So keep in mind when we're using response cost, like everything else I've said, on every video, make sure you're reinforcing behavior as well. Strengthen the behavior you want. Use response cost to get rid of the behavior you don't want. But make sure that that ratio is heavy towards reinforcing the behavior you want, okay? So we've got immediacy. We've covered that. We've covered the bonus response cost, the regular response cost. We've covered running out of reinforcers. You just don't want that, right? Don't go into debt. Yeah, you can't go into reinforcer debt. You do that and you're going to be doing all sorts of... That's when... Yeah, I don't even want to get into the types of behavior that are going to pop up. It's just bad stuff in general. All of the problems with punishment apply to the use of response cost, okay? So setting examples, and people are going to use those examples in the future. Again, you become a discriminated... You can become a discriminated punisher. Lying pops up, all right? So lying is the one that happens regularly. Hey, little Billy, did you do that inappropriate? No, I didn't do that at all. I did not throw all those tokens on the floor today, mama. I promise you I didn't do that, right? So I'm avoiding things by lying, okay? So you can strengthen lying behavior pretty easily if you're using punishment inappropriately or if you're not cautious while you're using punishment. The discrimination procedure ran into that one, that problem? I don't know. I tend to run out of things to say about punishment because these things are pretty easy. So again, just a quick recap. You could even argue that this is a special type of time out, but I'm not going to really go there right now. I'll just let you think about that. So response cost, again, loss of reinforcement for contingent on a particular behavior. So it's just another way of saying negative punishment. All sorts of examples of this in the real world. Highly, highly effective tool, but watch out. Really, really watch out to make sure you're not overusing it. It's an effective tool which tends to make you more likely to use it and that can be dangerous for the person you're using it with. All right? Because it's reinforcing for you, don't forget that other person, that person you're working with, better be getting lots and lots of reinforcement out there. So I can't overstress that enough. I'm going to go play some poker, lose some money. See you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZRNFomJLM4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

However, Pink recently listed a beachfront Malibu villa for nearly $15 million that she and Carrie only bought in June 2021, so it seems that she's wanting to flip the place. In this video, we're going to take a look at a few of Pink's properties past and present. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Alicia Moore, better known by her stage name Pink, is a singer and songwriter who found success back in 2000 as an edgy pop star. This album was certified double platinum and her following albums were pop rock sensations as well. Noted for her distinct voice and acrobatic stage presence, Pink has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has an estimated net worth of about $200 million. Pink married her husband, motocross racer Carrie Hart back in 2006 and she also has a healthy net worth of about 30 million. The couple shares two children and some beautiful properties in California as well. Hey everyone, it's Kara back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment and in this one, we're looking at the homes of pop rocker Pink. Don't forget to like, hit that subscribe button if you haven't and follow me on Instagram to chat. Now let's get into this video. Pink and Carrie may live full time at their sprawling Santa Barbara area ranch, but they've long kept a Malibu vacation home on the side. Formerly, she owned an estate in the Point Doom area which we'll take a look at shortly and more recently, the couple was renting a pricey mansion in the guard-gated Malibu colony for a whopping 65k per month. But finally, in June 2021, Pink settled on buying a Malibu villa for 13.7 million dollars, which was once owned by singer Barry Manilow. The home may be gorgeous, but it appears Pink and Carrie are already ready to sell, placing it on the market only months later in October 2021 for just under 15 million, seeking to make a profit. The Hollywood pedigree to boat is glass-walled and contemporary, offering 4,320 square feet of space, along with 4 beds and 3.5 baths inside. Also on the snug 0.16 acre oceanfront property, there's a separate one-bed, one-back guest apartment above the two-car garage. While the home was built in 1976, it was given a modern transformation just before Pink and Carrie purchased the place. The now super contemporary crib has pure white walls in the exterior, allowing it to stand out from the neighboring homes. There's an entry gate for security, which is flanked outside by olive trees. And passing this, there's a large sunken tiled courtyard, offering retractable awnings and protection from the wind. Another cool feature here is the hot tub, which is perfect if the ocean isn't your thing or it's simply too cold. Moving into Pink's Malibu home, it boasts airy rooms flooded with natural light and plenty of floor-to-ceiling glass, just like the slides in the family room, which overlooks the courtyard. Just past here, there's a formal dining room with luxe crystal and gold chandelier. The most impressive room in the beachfront home might just be the grand living room, which has double-height ceilings and full of floor-to-ceiling windows. This surrounds you in views of the blue ocean, and here there's also a wrap-round balcony with room to eat outside. If you're eating inside, the stylish kitchen is perfect for that as it's been fully renovated with white tiles and golden fixtures, as well as high-end appliances. The kitchen also boasts space to grab a quick bite and an additional attached breakfast area. The Malibu home boasts a room that could be used for guests or as a den, which is on the main level and opens to the courtyard, and the master suite is located on the upper floor of the home. The minimalistic master bedroom boasts a custom-walking closet, a spa-style ensuite with soaking tub and glass shower, along with unforgettable views. Without back, the home is right on the sandy beach, making a great place to sunbathe or lounge while there's easy access for swimming or surfing in the ocean waves. Pink and her family's main home is a 200-acre ranch located in the Santinez Valley, a quiet area in Santa Barbara, California. She and Kerry purchased the home for around $12-13 million in 2013. The colorful and unique mansion is perfect for the couple and their two children, their daughter Willow, born in 2010, and their son Jameson, who was born in 2016. The main mansion on the property was constructed in 1992, and according to records, spans 6,392 square feet of space with four beds and 5.5 baths. Elsewhere, there's a 2,500-square-foot guest house with two beds and two baths, a 12-stall barn, an infinity pool, and a private lake. When the couple moved in, the large property already had some planted grapes, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and a handful more. Since living, their pink and Kerry have added much more to the property, including seven more acres of vines, built a small winery, and bought a neighboring estate where eventually they're going to plant even more vines. In 2018, Pink said, All in all, this is the best that this property has looked since we got here. We've put a lot of heart and soul into this place. And I'm guessing since then, it's improved even more. These days, the couple even runs a winery, two wolves, right from their property. On the business's website, Pink explains, After years and years of fantasizing and making terrible carboys of wine in my closet, we took our baby girl and left the city and plunked ourselves down on an organic vineyard in Santa Barbara County. I immediately signed us up for classes at Allen Hancock College, and we started making some wine in the garage. And the 18 plus acres of vineyards is definitely now one of the highlights of the pop star's property. However, when Pink isn't busy working, she still loves spending time at home with Kerry and the kids. The exterior of the house gives a hint at what's to come inside with its bright and eye-catching blue walls. It's further complimented by a white wraparound porch to make it even more picture perfect. Inside, the luxury mansion boasts multiple bedrooms, an open concept kitchen, spacious living and entertaining areas, and more. If you want to get an idea for what the grounds of the home are like, all you gotta do is watch Pink's music video for Cover Me in Sunshine, which they filmed on the ranch. Their backyard features a massive pool and spa, separate patio area, and endless lawns. In terms of the inside, lucky for fans, Pink has given some peeks. Interiors of the large home feature plenty of vibrant colors, like the star herself said, it looks like Dr. Seuss threw up. We can see the cheerful colors scheme right away when looking inside Pink's house. The entryway offers high ceilings and energetic paint colors for a definite mood boost walking in, and this theme continues into the common spaces. We can see the kitchen boasts bright, turquoise colored walls and rustic furnishings like wood countertops mixed with high-class stainless steel appliances. There are also fun colors in the nearby rooms, from the dining room with its rainbow-shaded chairs, a lilac hallway, and more. As for one of her living rooms, Pink and Carrie decked it out with floral designs. Not only does their property of acres and acres of vineyards, the couple also has room on their ranch for a stable with horses and other animals. Before we wrap up this video, let's check out Pink's former Malibu property she offloaded in 2016. This singer paid $11.8 million for this home way back in October 2010, and tried to sell it a couple of times before finally selling it for $12.5 million. The Walden Gated Estate offered 1.2 acres of land along with 7,450 square feet of space inside. The home was made up of a mainly contemporary beach house vibe with a lot of dark woods throughout, and there were six beds and seven baths. This somewhat Hawaiian-themed abode boasted a large saltwater infinity pool on the grounds with a built-in spa and other resort-like features such as a koi pond and stone terrace with views of the ocean. Some of the common rooms included a cozy step-down living room with stone fireplace and a large gourmet kitchen. The Eden kitchen had two islands, a fancy range, designer appliances, bar-style seating, and another fireplace in the corner. Pink's former Malibu estate was full of hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out into the tropical greenery. The property also came with a key to the exclusive and locked gate for Little Doom Beach, which is both private and gorgeous. Many neighbors nearby included Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, and more. Alright friends, now we've taken a look at the homes of Pop Rocker Pink and her husband Kerry Hart. This includes their gorgeous long-time ranch where they make their own wine, located in Santa Barbara, and a couple of their Malibu properties. Out of the homes we saw, which was most your style? Where would you choose to live? I think Malibu is exclusive and stunning, so for location purposes, I would choose one of those homes. However, the way Pink decorated their ranch is unique and beautiful as well. It's a hard choice. Be sure to let me know your thoughts on her homes down in the comments. Thanks for watching, don't forget to give me a follow over on Instagram, and I will see you all in the next video.

UC640y4UvDAlya_WOj5U4pfA	Two-phase mixtures - Part 2	Location of state given pressure or temperature and a specific property; dryness fraction; evaluation of properties Engineering Thermodynamics Prof. Babu Viswanathan IIT Madras	[ "Location of state given pressure or temperature and a specific property", "dryness fraction;", "evaluation of properties" ]	2022-01-11T12:01:04	2024-04-23T23:46:22	1,223	VzsxWhEX1As	Now, let us see how to locate the state given P and V. Here we are given specific volume and pressure. So, what we try to do here is the following before we go through this figure, let us see what we want to do. So, let us say that this is our PV coordinate. So, 250 kPa, let us say this is the isobar corresponding to 250 kPa. So, what we would like to know is the specific volume is given. What we would like to know is, is it more than the specific volume of the saturated liquid state and less than the specific volume of the saturated vapor state or more than the specific volume of the saturated vapor state or less than the specific volume of the saturated liquid state. In other words, we want to know whether the state lies here, here or here. In order to determine that we need to know the specific volume corresponding to saturated liquid and specific volume corresponding to saturated vapor at this pressure 250 kilopascal. So, let us go to the pressure table, pressure table 250 kilopascal that is 2.5 bar which is over here. So, the specific volume corresponding to the saturated liquid is 0.001, please bear in mind that this is multiplied by 1000. So, the specific volume is 0.001 0672 and the specific volume of the saturated vapor is 0.7193. So, we may retrieve these values. So, the specific volume of the saturated liquid is now known at this corresponding to this pressure and the specific volume of the saturated vapor is known, the given value 0.5 lies in between these two. So, this is the state. So, if you are given the given P and a specific property, state is relatively easy to locate. Given P and T, you need to locate the corresponding saturation temperature or saturation pressure. Here it is very straightforward because we can retrieve these values Vf and Vg or Uf and Ug as the case may be from the directly from the table. So, since it lies between F and G, we have a two-phase mixture. Let us go through one more example, 1 MPa and specific volume 0.5 meter cube per kilogram. So, we go to the pressure table here because pressure is given. So, we go to the pressure table 1 MPa which is 10 bar. So, the specific volume of the saturated liquid is 0.001 1272 and that of the saturated vapor is 0.1945. So, we retrieve these values and then go through the same procedure again. So, we draw the isobar corresponding to 1 MPa which is this and the specific volume of the saturated liquid has been drawn from the tables and this has also been retrieved from the tables. So, the given specific volume of 0.5 is greater than Vg corresponding to this. So, which means that this is the line corresponding to 0.Vg V equal to 0.5. So, the given state R lies at the point of intersection of V equal to 0.5 and P equal to 1000. In the same way here also the given state lies at the point of intersection of V equal to 0.5 and P equal to 250. Note that these diagrams are not to scale. Please bear that in mind. These diagrams are qualitative. They are not to scale. In the same manner you can go through couple of more examples. T equal to 200 degree Celsius V equal to 0.1. You should be able to retrieve from the temperature table corresponding to 200 degree Celsius that Vf is equal to this and Vg is equal to this and the given V lies in between Vf and Vg. So, that means it is a two phase mixture region. It is in the two phase mixture region. 250 degree Celsius 0.2 meter cube. Again, you should be able to retrieve Vf and Vg from the temperature table and the given value for the specific volume is greater than Vg. So, that means the state is super heated. So, this is how we locate states for or on a PV or TV diagram for water or R134A. The procedure is identical for steam or water and R134A. For R134A also we have temperature table, pressure table and superheated table. So, the procedure is identical. Basically, since it is a simple compressible substance you need to be given two values for two independent properties. It may be P and T. It may be P and V. It may be T and V. Later on as we go through some of the examples and later part of the course, it may be P and U or P and H. The procedure remains the same or it may be T and S. Again, the procedure remains the same. So, it is either P, T and any one intensive property or P and T. So, we have covered all possibilities. So, you should be able to locate the state in the PV diagram or TV diagram using this information. So, I suggest that you review this information carefully. Go through the examples a couple of more times. Feel comfortable using the steam tables. Procedure 4. Now, we turn to the process of calculating property values. We have located the state. It is either a compressed or subcooled liquid, a two-phase mixture or a super heated state. How do we calculate property values? Now, we are not provided tables separately for compressed liquid or subcooled liquid states which is okay in a course like this. We do not really need that. We will make certain simplifications. Since it is known that it is a liquid, certain simplifications can be made and we will look at that later on. But for now, let us say that the state lies in the two-phase mixture region. For example, something like this. So, it lies in the two-phase mixture region. How do I calculate? For example, specific internal energy or specific enthalpy and so on. Any specific property. In order to do this, we introduce a new property called the dryness fraction or quality X. It is defined as in a given sample or in the system, the given system, let us say the total amount of mass in the system is m. And it is a mixture of liquid water and water vapor. So, the amount of vapor, let it be mg. So, the dryness fraction is defined as a ratio of the mass of vapor divided by the total mass contained in the system or mg divided by m liquid plus m vapor, mf plus mg. Now, the specific volume of the mixture itself is nothing but the total volume occupied by the substance divided by the mass. The total volume is nothing but the sum of the volume. So, this is equal to sum of volume occupied by liquid plus sum of volume occupied by the vapor. And this may be written as mf times vf where vf is the specific volume of the liquid and mg times vg where vg is the specific volume of the vapor. So, if you simplify this expression, you can write this as, so the specific volume may be written as vf plus the dryness fraction x times vg minus vf. Alternatively, you may also, if you want better interpretation probably is possible if I write this as 1 minus x times vf plus x times vg. So, you may interpret it like this, the specific volume for any two phase mixture is the weighted sum of the specific volume of the saturated vapor and the specific volume of the saturated liquid. The weights being 1 minus x for saturated liquid and x for the saturated vapor. Both these formulae are acceptable and we probably will be using more of this although this allows for a nicer interpretation in the sense that we can see that at any two phase mixture state, any intensive property is a weighted sum of the properties of the saturated liquid in the saturated vapor state. The weights being 1 minus x for the saturated liquid state and x for the saturated vapor state. So, here is how we have generalized this, any intensive property, I am sorry any intensive or specific property in the two phase region may be written as phi f plus this or alternatively as we just wrote it may be written as the weighted sum of phi f and phi g, weights being x and 1 minus x for the saturated vapor and saturated liquid respectively. So, the phi can be specific volume, specific internal energy or specific enthalpy. So, now we know how to calculate property values when the state lies in the two phase mixture region. So, we can easily apply first law now and delta u needs to be calculated, we can use this expression to calculate delta u after getting u f and u g from the steam tables either pressure or temperature table depending on the information that is given. Now, if the state is superheated like for instance here, if it lies in the superheated region, it is relatively straightforward, we can simply use the tables that are provided. So, here we can go to the superheated table. So, you can see that table C corresponds to superheated state. So, once we have two properties which are given, which are used to fix the state of the system, then we can either P or T and V or P and V then all the values specific volume or all specific properties may be retrieved directly from here. So, if you are given T and V, then we go into the corresponding superheated table and retrieve all the intensive property values that we want, it is very straightforward. Now, what do we do if the state lies in the compressed liquid region? That is what we are going to see next. So, if it is in the two phase mixture region, we retrieve the values corresponding to saturated liquid state and saturated vapor state and calculate any other intensive property or specific property as a weighted sum of these two with corresponding weights from minus x and x. If it is a superheated state, we can directly retrieve the property values from the table. What happens if it is a compressed liquid or subcooled liquid? So, here we exploit the fact that the specific volume changes very little with pressure as the liquid is incompressible. We already saw this before that the specific volume changes very little. It is almost the same as the specific volume of the saturated liquid. So, if I look at this diagram, then you can see that the specific volume corresponding to say this temperature or this temperature is more or less the same, it does not really change all that much. So, it is an approximation that we may use and the internal energy also for a liquid, internal energy changes very little with pressure. There is no dependence of the internal energy on pressure. So, we can make use of these two approximations and write for a compressed liquid state that the specific volume at any temperature and pressure is almost the same as the specific volume of the saturated liquid corresponding to that temperature. Notice that we take the value corresponding to that temperature and the specific internal energy is approximated as the specific internal energy of the saturated liquid at the corresponding temperature. The effect of pressure is negligible. So, we ignore the dependence on pressure and take u to be u of t, p to be just u of t. Notice that it would be incorrect, although numbers may be alright, it would be incorrect to write h of t comma p as h f of t. That is strictly speaking not correct, although this is used in many textbooks, strictly speaking that is not correct because by definition, h of t comma p is equal to u plus p v. And based on the two approximations we have made, I may replace u with u f of t and p remains as it is and v is replaced with v f of t. So, h of t comma p is u f of t plus p times v f of t. So, this is consistent with the two approximations that we have made here. So, you should always use h as u f plus p times v f. Because if you say that this is equal to h f of t, then the p here actually becomes equal to p saturation because you are taking the saturated liquid data. So, this is strictly speaking not correct because the pressure is known and that is different from this pressure. Remember it is a compressed liquid state. That means p is greater than p set. We already know that we have already seen that. So, that means that effect will be there. It may be a small effect, but it is still there. So, from a, you know, from a consistency point of view, h of t comma p for a compressed liquid should be used like this and not as h f of t. Although the values themselves may not differ by too much, it is important to understand this distinction and then do things accordingly. So, now we know how to locate the state and how to calculate the properties once the state has been located, whether it is in the compressed liquid or sub cooled region or whether it is in the two phase region or whether it is in the superheated region, we know how to calculate the property. So, we have now completed calculation of properties for pure substances. We saw how to calculate properties for ideal gases, ideal gas mixtures and now for two phase mixtures. Now we close this module with an interesting discussion on the connection between what we saw so far those two phase region and ideal gas region. So, we were drawing the TV diagram for water so far. So, one of the questions that arises is can we not take the state in the superheated region? So, if a state lies in the superheated region, can we not take this to be an ideal gas? Why not take this to be an ideal gas with molecular weight 18? Can we not use p v equal to r t or can we not use u equal to c v times t in the superheated region? Why use the table? The answer to that question is what we will discuss next. So, qualitatively steam will behave as an ideal gas in this region, I have indicated here qualitatively. So, it behaves as an ideal gas in this region only. In other regions it will not behave as an ideal gas so p v will not be equal to r t. For any two phase mixture it could be for instance nitrogen, it could be oxygen, it could be CO2. For any two phase mixture the ideal gas region lies to the right like this and the values of the pressure and temperature which bound this region will vary from one gas to another. For N2 these values may be different, for O2 these values will be different, for CO2 these values will be different, but qualitatively this is where we have the ideal gas region in comparison to the saturated liquid and saturated vapor line. So, that is where it lies. But the values themselves will change depending on the gas that we are looking at which is somewhat inconvenient, but quite interestingly it turns out that if you calculate what is called a reduced pressure and reduced temperature which is nothing but the given pressure divided by the corresponding critical pressure. So, if you are dealing with water you will take the given pressure divided by the critical pressure for water, if it is O2 you take the actual pressure divided by the critical pressure for O2. So, instead of using T and B if you re-plot using reduced temperature and reduced pressure then we get a very nice diagram. So, you plot PV over RT on the y-axis and P over P critical which is called the reduced pressure and this is parameterized by the reduced temperature which is T over T critical. Then irrespective of whether this is O2 or N2 or CO2 or helium for all gases we get a single curve for each value of T reduced or T over T critical. That is the nice thing about this particular plot. We do not have to worry about the nature of the gas and now if you want to explore or ask the question where the ideal gas region lies in this diagram notice that this rectangular region is indicative of ideal gas behavior to within plus minus 10 percent. So, PV over RT is either 1.1 or 0.9. So, approximately we can say that this is the ideal gas region. So, the ideal gas region generally is valid for all values of pressure including very low values, but valid only for high values of temperature. Notice that here the temperature is 2 times the critical temperature here it is 2.5 times the critical temperature. So, it is valid for high values of temperature but for all values of pressure. So, this gives us sort of a orientation of the ideal gas region relative to the two-phase region because we are discussing it, we have we discuss ideal gases and ideal gas mixtures and then we discuss two-phase mixtures. So, it generally gives an impression that the two are sort of totally different or disconnected from each other that is not the case. This one shows that the two actually all part of the same phase space TV or PV ideal gas region lies here like this in this region and the two-phase region lies here. So, this is the two-phase region they are connected and depending on where we are we can use the ideal gas equations equation of state and the closed form for calculating properties or we need to use the tables for calculating properties. So, what we will do in the next lecture is work out examples where we have different situations, we identify an appropriate system, we apply first law and carry out a first law analysis of systems.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzsxWhEX1As", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Let's go bit. Oh, no, what when did I go down? When did I go down? All right, let's try to get 15 or no. Jocko. Jocko. Jocko's a good game Man coverage. I love it. Nice. This is why we got Josh Gordon. Oh, you like that pass. Oh, you you like that one Okay, respect it. Oh Lord say it ain't so not there's not that we're not doing that. What's that dude? There's no way you don't animate on that Sherman a quarterback Rap who would have known? Get the f*** out of here eight times, bro I hate I do that. Just like hate this and quarterback, bro Oh my god, there's just no way you go through a spy like that ever There's no way you just go right at a spy and just oh, it's stupid. He's it's just stupid football God, what a terrible blow pass Oh My god, what is he lurking? I swear he would like bait me and drop I suck I Mean this dude has given up the touchdown a hundred times. I got a total football I want to kick this out the back of the end zone so he can't milk this second quarter here. I Don't want him to return this one. I need the ball back in the second quarter if I'm gonna win this game Please don't return this Yes, nice Like come on man, how's nobody over there dude like what like what? hmm Like bro, that can't be that much yardage right there dude. It really can't I'll tell you past first place Let's go big sack right. That's a big sack for the boys Me on Taylor. I mean do we not have got time out again. Thank you. Do we not have escape artists? I didn't put my right guy in the end zone Let's go pits get in there. Let's go a bit. Oh, no When did I go down? When did I go down? Oh? Man, I should have ran out of time. That's rough This is why you have Ralph tech because he has to guard this post route every single play like you listen Touchdown every play dude. I need gunslinger right there, dude We're in that set that first half so well, too. We just got to get an end zone there got to go with three W dives The defense let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Ah, come on, man. Come on boys Like come on man. We can't just be this like ah Christ Let's go Franny. That's what I like to see out of you kid Let's go man. Oh Hey, come on. Come on. Yo. Oh my god. If you don't jump down and pick that off Sherman Bro, we got to get the quarterback boys. Come on Hit him. Let's go. There's no way. Oh my god Let's go man. Ah, I mean we gonna hold the door. That's what we gonna do, baby I will score this I ain't scared about giving you the ball back. Oh lord I'm not mad at my defense. I'm not boys. I'm not I'm not when I look at my life I look at my life. I look at my decisions. I'm not mad at any of the defense. I'm playing right now I'm not one of these is a crossing row. I gotta get the deep one. I gotta take my user further back I'm not blitzing play a safer user here, bro. There's no way you get that perfect Oh my god. I this game, dude, and he doesn't go out of bounds for you Oh my god, this game will just have you losing your dude like losing your I'll hold up the door, baby. I will hold this door out, buddy. You know you want milk. Let's milk I hold doors. That's what I do for a living Put your hand. I mean, dude, why you like yo, let's go, baby God, it feels good. I feel just rewarded I can't lie. I tell you wins don't feel good But oh when he fumbles like that, that feels good. I'm I might I might break the table I might the table might I might break the table boys Stay up. Stay up five seconds. What we think boys. We definitely pun pun out of bounds here, right? All three feet. How this might be in bounds All three phases here Gotta get back He just ran out of bounds. Like there's just no effort from you. Like what? GGs. Oh, he said that's my man jackal, bro. He played well. I can't believe I gave up dinner Oh, I didn't score before half. I'm playing good.

Oh, Tracy, you need to hide already. They're too smart. They're here. They're at this terminal How do people get in there though? Shoot. We're gonna drive past them Tell them that they can walk. I can't go in there. There they are. I see. Hide, hide Hello, my fellow sniffers and welcome to my channel. My name is Marlene McCohen and this is Jersey Take a good look at her because once she realizes that she's on camera. She's going to try to leave Yes, that is a thing now for all you newbies I want to welcome you to this channel and let you know that amongst all the fun and craziness that me my family and my Birds have the bottom line here is that we promote something called engaged not Caged which means that I want to share my life of engaged birds that are not caged with you So that you can spread the word because I'm on a mission to let the world know how Amazing birds are and to teach people how to take care of them include them and love them Like they should because there's so many birds in the world just forgotten about in cages So if you know someone with a caged bird, you might want to share this with them. Okay on to the craziness It hasn't started yet, but it's about to oh and by the way for those of you who say that I scream a lot Maybe I'm gonna just start whispering. No, seriously guys. I don't know why I scream a lot Maybe I just took the same kind of YouTube pill that everybody else takes but in my real life I'm very serious dry sarcastic and chill. So I don't know. I think I just really like you guys What can I say? So I'm gonna try to be really quiet for a little bit Who knows? Maybe this will start my ASMR career off really well. Okay, my birds over it Anyway, here's the dilemma that I have today. Okay guys This one is crazy. So here it is Jersey's gonna sit right here. Hey, that's like her spot She just hopped and ran away. Okay. Here it is. I'm gonna tell you what a nutshell I really don't have much time. My parents are on their way over. Well, not really on the way I actually have to go pick them up. Here's the thing I don't think my mom's been here in like nine months and usually they just show up and surprise me But here was what my mom said. I told you guys I was coming Monday But I thought maybe I should tell you that really I'm coming on Sunday in case you want to clean up the house Because I know how you don't like the house to be a mess And I just wanted to give you that chance to clean it guys. Okay, that's really true I'm a clean freak, but so is she but like the house actually really is a mess And I know a lot of you comment all the time about how clean the house looks and how amazing it is with all these Birds yeah, and it's true because like I spend all day cleaning it all the time But yesterday was Saturday and that's like the day to play and hang out with the birds So that means that we hang out with the birds all day long and yeah I got really tired and didn't clean up before I went to sleep. So I have like I don't know an hour and a half to clean before I have to go pick them up and Yeah, I should have known better. I'm thinking I might actually show you guys this mess. Cody has his tent I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you. You better run into your tent. Uh-oh He's excited. You're so cute Cody. FYI mom I probably would have preferred this to be a surprise because then at least I would have had an excuse But let me just show you guys how bad this really really is. Okay, first of all There's dishes in the sink and I never have dishes in the sink. I know you're not gonna believe me You're just not you're gonna be like okay, and then there's like I don't know this situation and the floor Oh forget about the floor my Roomba gave up. Okay, my Roomba literally was like not happening. What is that? What are you doing? Oh, no. Oh, no No, no, you can't hurts can't have lollipops. No, that's too much sugar for little birdies Okay, no, baby Halloween candy came out yesterday when kids were here So Jersey just helped herself not gonna have that. All right, so here's the thing. I'm very nervous I may be acting weird, but let's just take a look at my hallway See this this is what my parents have to enter to and this is a good thing You know why because this was in their bedroom. Yeah, I have a bedroom in my house for them So I have to figure out like moving that myself George and I had a discussion like I don't know a week ago Like let's get all prepared for your parents. Won't this be so amazing yet? Everything looks kind of worse than it even did before so mom dad Yeah, it might have been better if you didn't tell me so that I could plan for your arrival because then at least I would have Had an excuse and not maybe given Rocky all these papers to chew up Right Rocky? Yeah Yeah Yeah, we at least we're gonna clean the backyard because we had so many parties It looks like a dead floaty machine, but no the backyard is still in its terrible state. Whoa bad lighting I just look so blue. So I basically have and maybe an hour cuz I wasted all day Yeah, to clean up all the dead floaties. Yeah, we have some serious parties here Where we fill up the whole pool with bubbles and get the best floaties on the market But it doesn't look that good right now. It does not anyway enter cat My cat wants to be an outdoor cat But I just can't bear the thought of her outside doing whatever cats do to other animals And for those of you that said why don't you get her a harness? I did get her a harness I even tried to make a video but once she got out on the grass She acted like a lethargic person with narcolepsy. So that didn't happen. What are you doing? What is going on? We have got to clean this place up. This is gonna be really difficult Okay, that cheering is basically Leo's very happy every single time that Rocky moves, right Leo? Did Rocky move? Did Rocky walk around? Did you enjoy that? Yeah And before we go on a lot of you are asking me about Nellie and Monty and am I keeping Nellie and Monty? I fully intend to still find them a home, but you guys have to understand. I got Nellie and Monty before Thanksgiving Christmas Bird Mart, there's some other holiday in there new year. It's been really difficult Yeah, so that's my cue so I'm just gonna like Psycho clean right now, and then I'm gonna go pick the parents up and by the way they made another mistake They decided to surprise my sister and not tell her but she's like a millennial with amazing things planned So she's going to like a hidden karaoke spot tonight And I was like you have to come over and she's like why and I'm like, um Tracy and I are doing something really cool with Bella like you know Mom stuff. What else could you have planned and she's like I'm going to like a remote karaoke spot that's secret and No one can know where it is and we get picked up at a hotel. Our friend probably has really good connections, and I'm like, okay Yeah, I just swing by in the room in that because you'll find out mom and dad are here and you won't be going anywhere Okay, so that's the story anyway got to put the camera down got to try to clean up take a look at this place I'm so embarrassed to show you this guy. I'm a clean freak, but honestly like you can't have things perfect with birth But let's just see what Vinnie says about this They're coming Okay Then I'm not thinking I'm out Want to try to go downstairs so I can get ready for them to arrive No Okay, you want to sit here and help me? Okay Okay, it's gonna be interesting by the way my parents bedroom Yeah, let's see you can see has all these costume clothes in it that I didn't get to put away So I got to do that too. Yeah remember when I used to make videos in this room and But the good news is look it's nice and vacuumed. What do you guys think for those of you who are new and like my crazy family? It's about to get crazier wait till you see these guys. All right guys That's what I got to tell you right now and I don't think I screamed at all. Have I I'm sorry I just get very excited about you guys like you probably wouldn't be as excited about me if you Like saw me in real life like chillin Yeah, he said yeah, take the pill you see okay, Vinnie. Do you want to like go down there and attack some stuff? I Don't know how George thinks I'm gonna move that all okay completely wasted my day So now I got to run around like a mad person. Oh and Harry's here Jersey oh, yeah This one's playing in the bags Jersey Coming are you it's 339? Let's see what I could do in an hour and a half. I could do under the circumstances I'm pretty sure I'm late gonna get Monty back up and make sure all the animals are where they need to be But one cage is open Cody Cody tries to hide when I'm leaving. He wants to sit in here Guys I'm always cold and I'm hot right now. Yeah Yeah, you're gonna sit in here and we come back lots more action. Oh No, oh no, don't be that like oh we landed type thing Hello Rocky says Hello, okay. I'm coming. All right. What yeah, I'm putting Monty away And then I'm leaving but be ready because I already like I'm late. Okay. Bye. Okay guys. That was Tracy Okay, so Tracy's gonna come with me to pick up mom and dad because Tracy has a baby Bella for those of you Don't know and it's kind of a sad story but Tracy's dad died before I met her. So my father is the unofficial grandpa of Bella and Bella brings him so much joy. So they're gonna be so excited. It's gonna be a surprise and my mom is Bella's glam and I'll read you the definition of glam up Tracy bought this for my mother It says too young glamorous and fabulous to be called grandma And some of you are asking why the baby looks like Jenna and a lot of you asked why it looks like me I guess that's a mystery. Maybe it's a coincidence Dun-dun-dun Okay, I got all the animals where they need to be by You gonna sit in here. You want to come hang out in the house? You can come hang out downstairs My mom loves Harry so okay. Oh my god guys. I just got a text from my dad He answered me because I said what time are you arriving tomorrow on the family chat to like, you know Make my sister really believe, you know, whatever and he answered which means they planned it Which means uh, which means which means I gotta go and I gotta take that UV birds Are you all organized? Oh Alexa play classical music volume three On Amazon music that'll add to the feel of cleanliness You know what I mean make us look less like we got a bunch of animals while you were gone We didn't have no kids, but we now have a cat a few lizards and um, I don't even know two other birds So yeah, that should stop in the below. Okay. I really gotta stop filming now because I'm late Oh, I was missing my key and I just found it in my pocket Not for this car the other car and all the seats are down We got to go pick up Bella get her in the car now my parents don't know Babies are their life for whatever reason so especially Bella. So we're going to hide Tracy, so I'm gonna film their reaction. Okay, and then I'm gonna give George a list of things to clean while I'm gone Okay, so Tracy and Bella are here now and Okay, this car is going around us. Good job. It's dark. You can't see Tracy. So mom and dad won't it'll be a surprise You're gonna have to hide that big blonde bun when we get up there Yeah, guys, it's like an hour later and my parents aren't answering and I'm like, what if they got in an Uber? But they are flying international. So I don't know No one's answering me. I'm like an hour late But like honestly, they would have had to like get off the plane get their bags. So I don't know We're gonna see why doesn't just be waiting outside for us. Oh wait dad just texted He said their bags are stuck in customs. What have you done dad? Where's American Airlines? Okay, my parents just called. Oh Tracy, you need to hide already. They're too smart Like I can see B7. Maybe that's just the letter B again. They're here. They're at this terminal. So hide Oh, I see number four. Oh, I see seven. How do people get in there though B6? I'm not in the bees Shoot, we're gonna drive past them. Tell them that they can walk. I can't go in there I have to go to B10. There they are. I see hide They don't know my car Okay, hold on. I gotta call them. What do I do? I think it's gonna take less time for them to come ask the rest of the wheel around. Can I get up? No Okay, I have to go around again. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. They're calling Hello? Yeah, I passed you. I'm all the way out American now because I didn't I couldn't get on the inside lane I'm in front of the bus at American 4 Okay, come before this dude kicks me out. You have to run. Okay, there's the police. Bye run hide I got to pretend like I'm getting someone out right now. You know, I'll be like they're right here. Oh my god How fast do you think my parents duck? Okay, I don't know how fast they'll make it but let's say they're not here But I got to make it look like I'm active so security doesn't move me like oh, I just parked right now Shh, oh, you know like oh like oh, how do you open the trunk? I don't even know how to open the trunk Okay, parents you got to move faster Okay, you got it duck because I could totally see your head and I think I see them coming but they're moving slow.

Ya, okey. Jadi... Sebenarnya, saya sedang bekerja dalam paket MPM yang lebih kecil. Sebenarnya, ia untuk pembangunan meteor. Seperti semasa kita membuat pembangunan meteor, ia akan memberikan semua tiga file ini, ia akan memberikan pembangunan autopublish, ia akan mempunyai semua perkara ini, ia akan mempunyai semua tiga file ini, Sebenarnya, saya rasa anda sudah terdengar banyak perempuan penyakit, dan mereka mempunyai perkara ini. Jadi, saya tidak melihat di atas mereka. Kerana kita adalah penyakit, kita suka membuat perjumpaan. Jadi apabila kita mempunyai masa, kita akan melakukan itu lagi dan lagi, walaupun ia adalah perjumpaan square atau triangle, ia untuk kami. Sebenarnya, beberapa bulan yang terakhir, saya sedang bekerja dalam paket kecil. Ia adalah penyakit yang penting untuk saya. Tapi saya hanya ingin berkongsi. Sebenarnya, paket ini adalah NPM, dan saya dapat melihat, ia adalah set-up media. Sebenarnya, saya hanya menggunakan beberapa penyakit, saya akan berkongsi sesuatu untuk membuat anda membangun penyakit yang pertama, lebih cepat, saya akan berkongsi. Saya tidak mempunyai internet, saya tidak mempunyai koneksi. Sebenarnya, saya sudah membangun. Jadi, apabila saya sudah membangun, tentu saja. Jadi, masyarakat koneksi adalah 174. Apa yang saya... Apa yang saya... Apa yang saya berkongsi ini adalah, ia mempunyai beberapa penyakit. Saya akan berkongsi, hanya mempunyai 5 penyakit. Kerana ia masih benar-benar mudah dan mudah. Jadi, saya akan pergi ke paket saya. Okey, saya berkongsi ini. Saya akan menghubungi penyakit saya dulu. Saya akan membuat penyakit baru. Kerana saya rasa Meteo sepatutnya sangat mudah untuk membuat penyakit baru. Membuat penyakit baru tanpa membuat semua perkara ini. Jadi, apa yang saya akan buat adalah... Okey, jadi, perkara pertama adalah membuat penyakit. Jadi, apa yang kamu perlu membuat adalah, jika kamu perlu membuat penyakit baru, mari kita panggil idea baru. Okey, menghubungi penyakit itu. Saya rasa tidak sepatutnya. Jadi, apa yang saya akan buat adalah, jika kamu hanya membuat idea baru hanya seperti Meteo, sepatutnya membuat penyakit Meteo. Kemudian, ia menambah dua fungsi yang adalah menghubungi penyakit baru seperti CSS, HTML dan JavaScript. Kemudian, ia akan mempunyai penyakit baru. Saya bermaksud penyakit baru. Saya menggunakan penyakit baru sebagai penyakit media baru. Tetapi, saya percaya itu semuanya cukup generis. Jadi, ia akan mempunyai penyakit besar. Jadi, sebenarnya, apa yang ia mempunyai adalah, ia mempunyai perkara dekat perkara dekat yang seperti main. Kamu mempunyai main set-up. Kemudian, kamu mempunyai penyakit baru. Jadi, apa yang kamu perlu lakukan adalah, kamu sudah mempunyai penyakit ini. Jadi, kamu boleh membuat penyakit ini. Baiklah, kamu perlu membuat penyakit ini. Oh, maaf. Saya belum selesai. Baiklah, perkara kedua adalah kamu perlu membuat penyakit ini. Sudah tentu, kamu perlu memasukkan penyakit anda. Maaf, tidak, Meteo. Apa yang ia membuat ini, ia akan mempunyai penyakit yang berjaya. Ini adalah apa yang ia membuat dan apa yang ia membuat. Jadi, kamu boleh membuat penyakit ini untuk membuat penyakit ini. Saya membuat penyakit ini untuk membuat penyakit yang berjaya, reaktif, dan pasukan yang berjaya. Dan sebagainya. Jadi, perkara yang perlu kamu membuat adalah, hanya membuat penyakit ini. Jadi, basically, apa yang ia membuat untuk membuat penyakit ini untuk membuat penyakit ini. Siapkan penyakit ini, menapis semuanya, mengambil semuanya, cukup semuanya. Jadi, sekarang, kamu boleh membuat penyakit ini. Jadi, itu adalah 3 pekerjaan, Sini, dan membuat penyakit ini. Biasanya, jika kamu tidak perlu memaafkan kualitas penyakit, tidak perlu memasukkan. Jika kamu membuat penyakit ini, Mungkin kadang-kadang anda tidak suka struktur yang ini berikan kepada anda Kerana struktur seperti ini Client, koleksi, lip, saya tidak boleh membuatnya lebih besar Dan public-private dan server Jadi apa yang anda boleh lakukan, anda boleh menjadikannya Untuk uruskan tempat anda sendiri Mari kita katakan Oh iya, saya tidak ada tempat itu lagi Kemudian anda boleh mempunyai tempat anda sendiri Yang sebenarnya saya membuat di sini Yang sebenarnya sedikit berbeza, tetapi anda boleh mempunyai apa-apa yang anda ada Anda hanya akan mempunyai apabila anda mempunyai tempat ini Anda boleh terus membangunkan tempat ini sebagai tempat Jadi anda boleh mempunyai apabila anda mempunyai, anda akan mempunyai semuanya Jadi apa yang saya mempunyai adalah Saya mempunyai sebuah penerbangan di sebuah penerbangan Saya tidak tahu mengapa, tetapi ia mungkin mempunyai juga Dan tempat penerbangan, mungkin anda tidak mahu mempunyai tempat penerbangan Anda mahu mempunyai tempat penerbangan dan sebagainya Jadi apa yang anda lakukan adalah Biasanya membuat sebuah penerbangan, mempunyai semuanya Jadi idea baru saya Sebenarnya, seperti ini Tetapi, mereka sebenarnya adalah perkara yang di dalam Mereka adalah kedua command Yang sebanyak keadaan, ia adalah Jadi apabila saya mempunyai penerbangan, saya akan menyambang customize Sebenarnya, ia beberapa Baiklah, saya akan mempunyai Baiklah, ini adalah penerbangan Jadi saya memPERTURvit Baiklah, ст 31st wel1 Jadi saya mahu membuat rancangan baru Normaliran apa yang saya akan lakukan Shell Saya ada rancangan baru. Saya bakar rancangan baru Saya bintar rancangan yang ter mumur KemUA kepadanya. Artinya ini pemas기 yang seemedan Sebenarnya, apa yang anda boleh lakukan adalah MS View Sebenarnya, apa yang anda lakukan adalah, ia akan membuat sebuah View yang dipanggil New View Jadi, saya tidak memperkenalkan, maaf, saya tidak perlu mengambil semua panggilan Jadi, apa yang saya lakukan adalah, ia akan hanya membuat 2 View, New View, dengan semua panggilan yang telah dibuat di dalam Jadi, sebenarnya, jika anda tidak mahu hanya membuat sebuah kode Dan, ada satu lagi yang dipanggil MS Collections Mari kita katakan, anda mahu Collections menjadi sebuah produk Kemudian, dalam Collections, ia akan mempunyai produk ini Terus, mari kita katakan Baiklah, biar saya menerimanya Sebenarnya, apa yang saya lakukan adalah, saya perlukan Saya perlukan semua panggilan yang telah dibuat Jadi, saya sangat mudah Jadi, saya mempunyai semua produk ini, atau sebuah panggilan yang telah dibuat Semua panggilan yang telah dibuat saya, jadi jika anda tidak mahu, saya hanya memperkenalkan Dan ia lebih mudah untuk saya membuat panggilan yang telah dibuat Kerana, setidaknya, ia membuat produk yang benar-benar Dan kemudian produk kapital dan sebagainya Saya rasa itu saja, tetapi, ada satu perkara, jika anda menggunakan panggilan sendiri, mari kita katakan panggilan saya Dan kemudian, bagaimana Macam mana MS View dan MS Collections berada di mana untuk digunakan Jadi sebenarnya, apa yang anda perlu lakukannya adalah, anda hanya perlu membuat panggilan anda Jadi, anda perlu membuat panggilan gjukur, dan panggilan youn, kepada pelanggan di sana Jadi, ini adalah panggilan saya Kerana, saya ambil ke hepar perang dan panggilan Jadi sebenarnya, saya rasa itu saja Dan ada perkara yang lagi, mungkin... Jadi, mari kita katakan jika anda mahu kita masuk ke dalam panggilan yang telah dibuat Adakah anda mahu mempunyai panggilan yang telah dibuat? Kamu mungkin perlu mengejungkannya Sebenarnya, ini juga adalah sebuah panggilan yang anda mahu menolak dalam panggilan dan ia adalah sebuah jalan. Jadi sebenarnya, jika kita hanya membuat panggilan baru, kemudian anda boleh menyebabkan apa yang anda mahu menyebabkan. Ya, saya rasa itu saja. Sudah tentu anda boleh menambahkan lebih banyak bagi yang anda mahu menambahkan dalam projek anda. Terima kasih. Ini adalah sebuah panggilan yang anda mahu menyebabkan. Panggilan yang dikatakan? Ya, maaf. Boleh saya mempunyai ini menjadi projek yang berkumpul? Membuat seperti... Membuat projek baru? Seperti yang anda dapat dengan sebuah bagi yang anda mahu menyebabkan. Ya, saya rasa anda dapat. Dan bagi bagi yang dikatakan dan sesuatu seperti itu. Dan juga di sebuah panggilan yang membuat panggilan yang berkumpul dan sebagainya. Saya rasa anda boleh membuat... Kerana idea itu sangat mudah. Apa yang ia berlaku adalah ia hanya mengambil panggilan MS jason. Dan apabila anda membuat panggilan MS, ia hanya akan membuat panggilan yang dikatakan. Dan ia hanya akan membuat panggilan yang dikatakan. Jadi anda dapat membuat panggilan. Tetapi saya sebenarnya fikirkan bahawa kita boleh... Saya tidak tahu, saya mungkin dapat membuat panggilan. Untuk membuat ekosistem yang dapat dikatakan. Yang bermakna saya dapat... Saya dapat... Mereka dapat membuat panggilan untuk panggilan sendiri. Dan saya akan beritahu... Kerana saya dapat tahu bahawa apabila kami membuat panggilan, ada banyak kota yang ditutupi. Saya mengetahui di mana-mana. Saya akan beritahu... UI menerimu untuk membantu. Router. Terutamanya, router saya akan berkata... Ini. Saya selalu dapat ingat. Bagaimana ia adalah panggilan, nama, layar. Bagaimana layar, panggilan, bagaimana ia? K Majlis berkata ia. Nanti mungkin saya akan bertanggungjawab bagitau dengan Gör decorative. B radio saya akan beritahu apa-apa nama bagi saya dan citizens hubungi yang itu. Jadi saya tidak perlu... Ayuh! Ini saya ingat adalah joining RO without me blocking. Steer me create new view 2021. Peffective. accused.ieved atau was thinking that ifขę kita disconnect yuk yang baru... So we should auto have a new route, That's easy. Tapi... The realisation. Kayak ik Wyoming. Saya rasa kita patut. Tapi ini adalah perkara yang lain yang dibuat. Saya percaya bahawa, terutamanya orang-orang yang dibuat, mereka sudah sangat berbentuk. Tapi jika anda ingin belajar bagaimana mereka berbentuk, anda mungkin perlu juga membuat instruksi untuk diri sendiri. Saya hanya mahu membuatnya. Kerana saya menghubungi beberapa masa di sini. Jadi saya rasa ia bergantung. Terutamanya, perkara yang baik adalah, anda belajar bagaimana membuat pembentangan pembentangan pakaian dengan MPM. Ada beberapa pembentangan pembentangan pakaian yang optimis. Kalau mereka pembentangan pakaian, ada beberapa perkara. Bagaimana ini yang lain? Oh, sebenarnya saya ada. Bagaimana pembentangan pakaian? Ya, ia ada. Jadi ia di bawah. Saya mungkin beritahu, Sebenarnya, ia hanya mempunyai satu pembentangan. Maksud saya, satu pembentangan pakaian. Oh, sebenarnya saya tidak tahu yang ini boleh dibuat. Baiklah. Sebenarnya, perkara ini adalah, saya mempunyai beberapa fungsi. Bagi saya, saya mempunyai pembentangan pakaian, pembentangan pakaian, pembentangan pakaian, dan membuat pembentangan pakaian. Ia sangat mudah untuk membuat pembentangan pakaian dengan pembentangan pakaian ini. Hebt, saya rasa. Lihat fitur pakaian ini kan bergantung. Itu seorang kelуррод sandwiches saya harus beritahu.

So let's say my create, it will just create a copy and then do some checking. And then the init file basically just copy the init file. So actually I have function copy of the init file. So yeah, just some command thing. This is MPN, this is MPN. No, but this one is MPN but it's command line. It's not a Meteo package. Yeah, because I need the command line feature. So it's actually like a set of batch scripts in java script. Yes, basically you can write it in batch script or you just batch run your script and then that's all.

So muli ako ko si Aaron Texon at ako po yung speaker for this first day of advanced training. So masaya po kami na makasama yung ibasay nyo, alam ko mga datihan na na nag-a-ten sa webinar natin. So siguro mag-refresh yung iba sa knowledge na nakuanila and lalo-lalo na masaya kami sa mga newbie na nag-a-ten sa ating webinar. So ito pa ay advanced training, so medyo ang mga beginner na nakapag-a-ten pala ngayon and hindi nakapag-a-ten dun sa naon ng two webinars natin na si mam-sali po yung nagtakil. So kung may mga tanong po kayo sa mga, iprepresent natin na information, so pwede nyo po ay type nyan sa Q&A para may sagut po natin, baka ako makasagut o yung iba natin nakasama sa panelist. So hindi na po tayo magtatagal kasi medyo na delay din tayo ng content oras so simulan na po natin ang ating technical analysis one. Mam-sali po, nakadisable po ako so hindi po ako makapag-a-share. So nakikita nyo na po yung ating presentation. Yes sir, clear. So yes, ko po mo na yung video para mabilis yung signal. Okay, so yun ang sabi ko technical analysis one tayo ngayon. So bukas technical analysis number two and sir Shem naman yung speaker natin para bukas. So ano yung mga malalaman o aabangan natin sa webinar na ito? So in this webinar, you will learn about first anatomy of candlestick. Ayan sa dito malalaman natin paano ba nagu-open and nagu-close yung candel. Kasi di ba sa chart makikita natin after a certain period of time li-lipat yung candel matatapos. So malalaman natin yun paano nagbubukas and nag-sasarado yung candel. Paano nagsisimulat natatapos and bakit mahalaga na malaman natin ito? So yan yung sa anatomy of candlestick. Second is time frames. Madibang maraming time frames kaya makikita sa chart ano ba ang ibig sabihin nito? And mahalaga ba ito? Paano ba basahin yung mga time frames? Okay, so kasama yan dyan. And next is market structure. Dito sa market structure malalaman natin yung trend, yung tatlong types ng trend and bakit mahalaga na alam natin siya. So makakatulung yan sa pag-design natin sa mga entries natin. And next, yung key levels. Itong mga key levels naman ito, ito yung mga support resistance sa market kung saan dito tayo mag-design na mag-place ng trend. So tuturoan tayo kung ano ba mag-plot, mag-lagay ng support and resistance. Kasi di bakit pa, kung dito yung basis natin, napat alam natin paano ito ilagay and saan yung mga key levels na high chance na dito talaga mag-respect yung price. So yan, ituturo din natin. And lastly, yung candlestick patterns. So ito naman yung candlestick patterns, ito naman yung mga signal o yung mga candel na pwede natin pagbasehan. Nakungsaan, pag nakita natin yung ganitong candel, dun na yung entry signal na mag-place na tayo ng buy or sell. So anong mga candel patterns? So yan yung buong pag-usapan natin sa webinar sa ngayon sa technical analysis one. So nain na natin yung anatomy of candlestick. Okay. So yung candlestick kagaya ng tao, may parts din siya, okay liba? Tayo may body parts. Sa candel, may tatlong components or parts ang isang candel. So first is the body. This is the tick by section of a candlestick and it shows the difference between the opening and the closing price over the trading session. So yung body, malalaman natin mga may association kung aling bang part nung sa candel yung body. Next is the top week or tail. This is the line extending above a body and it shows the highest point, the price reached over a trading session. And last day yung bottom week or tail. This is the line extending below a body and it shows the lowest price point over a trading session. So para mavisualize natin yung tatlong parts na yun. Tatlong parts na yun. So eto yung illustration niya. So eto yung body, eto. Pag nakita yung sex chart niyo yung solid na may color, yan yung body. So etong dalawang candel natin, malalaman natin kung ano yung pinagkaiba niyong grain at niyong red. So yan yung body, yan. Tapos, etong pag may nakita kayo sa candel na parang guhit, parang tail, week yung tinatawag yan. Sa taas, eto na yung top week or tail. So dalawang yung week sa taas at sa baba. Sa baba eto namin yung tinatawag na bottom week. So malalaman natin yung kalagahan kung bakit may week, bakit may body. So mamaya, pag-uusapan natin yan. Basta yan yung tatlong component ng isang candel. Next. So eto yung pagkakaiba ng dalawang candel. So yung grain tinatawag po natin siya na bullish candel. And yung red, tinatawag natin siyang bearish candel. So paano ba mag-open and mag-close yung price? Okay sa bullish, unay natin, eto ang bullish, tinatawag ito na OHLC. So open, high, low, close. So eto yung component paano nag-open at natatapos ang isang candel. So dito sa bullish candel, it means increasing. Pagsinabing bullish candel yung green, it means may pataas na force yan. Yung pressure yan pataas pag bullish. Ang bearish naman, decreasing, pababa ang pressure yan. So eto yung buyers, sellers. Yan yung surgat yan. So makakatulong yan para malaman natin kung magbabay or sell tayo. So dito sa bullish candel, nag-open po ang bullish candel dito. Then nag-goop. Angat siyang, kapag nakita nyo eto. Okay. So open niya sa baba ang close niya sa taas. Minsan, kapag bumabay yung pressure, alimbawa, nag-open dito yung bullish candel, yung candel. Bumaba, bumalik sa taas. Tumas ulit dito and bumalik dito na close. Ayyan po yung pagbasa yan. Kung bakit may weak? Kung bakit may weak sa baba or sa taas kasi etong body bumaba siya dito. Pero, tumas. Okay? Kapag tumas siya, may inabot siyang isa level o isang zone and bumalik sa taas magiging weak yan. Okay? Magiging weak. And umakiat ulit siya dito, pero bumabak at dito na tapos yung candel. Kaya ang itura po yan, ganyan. Okay? Basta lagi tatanda natin ang close ng isang candel pagsataas bullish automatic. Okay? And susunod, kapag na tapos na ito, tingnan nyo, ang susunod na candel lalabas o magsisimula. Okay? So alam nyo, na bullish candel yan, kasi yung sumunod na candel, dito nagsimula sa closing price niya. Okay? Apag bullish candel, ang opening price dito, nag-close yan sa taas. How about the bearish candel? Sa bearish candel naman, baliktad lang, mag-open siya sa taas. Dito. And mag-close siya sa baba. Okay? Alimbawa ito, itong sample na candel, nag-open siya dito, umakyat, pero bumabak. So the moment na bumabak siya at nilagpasan niya yung open price magiging huwig yung dinanan niya. So parang nagiiwan siya ng mark. Umakyat siya, pero bumabak, nilagpasan yung open price, automatic magiging huwig. Okay? Tapos nung bumabak siya, dumiret siya anggang dito sa baba. Pero, nag-decision siyang umakyat ulit and nag-close dito. So yung body po, nakadipendi sa open at close. Kung saan nag-open, saan nag-close, yan yung body. Alimbawa dito yan nag-close na body, bumabak, kas tumaas dito nag-close. Idealong ityura nung candle. Kung dito nag-open, dito nag-close, ganyan yan. Tapos umabot siya dito and ito. So yung body nakadipendi sa open and close. And yung week, nakadipendi sa lowest point naabutin and highest point. Okay? Yan nakadipendi yung week. So malalaman natin yung kahalagakan, makit dapat malaman natin itong mga bagay na ito kasi matutulungan tayo nito, makita kung alin ang nananalo sa market. Ang buyers ba, o ang bullish market, o ang sellers, o ang bearish market. So makakadesay tayo whether mag-buy or sell. So titing na natin ngayon, kung paanong masasabi na napakalakas ng bullish momentum o pressure ng isang candle or mahina. So dalawa yan. Dito mo na tayo sa bullish candle strength. Okay? So dito sa baba, makikita nyo yung most bullish tapos papahina siya papunta sa list bullish. So paano mo masasabi na ang isang candle napakalakas ng buying pressure. So itong first candle, kapag solid yung body meaning walang week, walang week dito, walang week sa baba as in full body ng candle. Kapag nakita nyo yan, nagbapakita yan ang bullish pressure na buong buo. Okay? Meaning napakalakas ng buying momentum. So kapag napakalakas ng buying momentum, siyempre, anong entry yung dapat yung maisip, siyempre, buy. Hindi kayo mag-se-sell. Guys, kapag nakakita kayo ng napakalalaki yung mga green candle. Kasi pang nag-sell kayo yan, masasagasaan lang yan or may SL kayo. Sayon yung kalagahan. Ito naman na next candle, kapag may week sa baba, meaning yung body, buo siya, bumagsak dito, pero tumas ulit and nag-close. Okay, meaning may nag-push sa ilalim. Okay, bullish pa rin yan. Malakas pa rin yung bullish pressure sa ikalawang candle na ito kasi may nag-tulak sa ilalim. Okay? Yan na week sa baba, meaning yan may tumutulak. Okay? Pag may week sa taas, may tumutulok sa presyo na pababain yan. Kapag week sa ilalim, may tumutulak naman na pa-taasin yung presyo. Okay? Kaya hindi lang, guys, candle yan. Okay? May mga story ang bawat candle. Kaya kung marunong tayong magbasan ito, makakatulong ito sa decision-making natin whether magbabay or sell. Okay? So dito na sa next candle, may conting push sa baba, may conting push sa taas, pero malaki pa rin yung body. Okay? Bullish pa rin yan. May conting nag-push sa price baba, kaya may week. Okay? May pumasok na selling pressure. Okay? May sellers na pumasok dito. Ito sa susunod, medyo balance. Okay? Yung body, mahabang week sa taas, mahabang week sa baba. Okay? So meaning yan, bulish to, pero may tumulak dito, tinulak siya sa ilalim, pero may tumulak din sa taas. Okay? Kaya nag-close yung candle dito. Hindi siya katulad nito. Okay? Ito, walang tumulak pa baba. Kaya wala siyang week. Samantalang ito, mas malakas, mas mahabay yung week, kaysa sa body. Ano ibig sabihin yan? Ibig sabihin yan, guys. Mas malaki yung push ng sellers kaysa buyers. Okay? Kasi, ito, na body niya sa baba. Ibig sabihin, kong bakit may week dito? Ibig sabihin, umakiad kasi yung price, itinulak ng buyers yung presyo pa taas. Pero, kinalaunan, nang matapos ang candle, ganito yung ichura. Makit yan yan? Ibig sabihin yan, after tulak ng buyers, yung presyo pa taas, ibinagsak ng sellers. Okay? So makikitan natin dito, na lamang ang sellers sa candle na ito, kahit green yan. Okay? Wag po kayong malito, kasi yung iba, lalo na pang beginner, siyempre, pag green, ah, bullish yan. Malaki ang buying pressure. Kapag red naman, ah, bears yan, selling yan, selling pressure. Pero, kapag nalaman nyo yung kahalagangan, paano magbasan nito, makikitan nyo, na kahit green to, lamang ang sellers yan. Okay? Kasi mahaba yung week, sa taas. And lalo na ito, mas maliit, nang pakalit na yung body, kaysa sa week. So, mahina na ang bullish pressure yan. Okay? Ganin din, sa bear's candle. So, kapag gabaliktaran lang noon, ito, pag ganito yung nakikitan yung red candle, napakalaki ng selling pressure yan. Bilsabi nyan, walang buyers na nagtatray magpush ng price pataas. Kasi nga, walang week na naiwan sa baba. Okay? Walang kalabalaban, na do dominate ng sellers, ang market, kapag nakikitan nyo yung candles, na ganyan. And ito, same din, selling pressure again. Dito, sa next candle, may nag-tulak ng buyers pataas. Kaya may week. And ito, balance din, balance yung buyers, balance yung sellers. And dito, sa susunod, kaya thread candle to, lamang ang buyers sa candle na ito. Kasi, mahaba yung week, meaning, may tumutulak ng pressure pataas, kaya yung body ng candle nag-close sa taas. Kasi kung mas malakas yung sellers, dapat magagawa niyang itulak baba and mag-close yung body niya, ganyan. Kapag nag-close yung body niyang ganyan, meaning, talo yung buyers, mas malakas selling. Pero dahil, mas mahaba yung push sa baba, lamang ang buying pressure. And lalo na ito, kait red yan, lamang palin, ang bullish yan. Pero, bearish candle siya matatawa, kasi red siya. Okay. So, may tanong ba kayo? Dito sa, anatom yung candlestick. So, baka may, hindi kaya mga unawaan, pwede po kayong magtanong, itype niyo sa Q&A, yung tanong niya. Okay. So, kung wala na, proceed tayo sa time frame. Okay. Kapag tinig na niyo ang chart niyo, whether sa cell phone niya na mt4, mt5, or sa desktop, may makikita kayo na, m1, m5, m15, m30, h184, ano kumay itong mga number na ito? Ano ba hindi sabihin yan? So, yan ay tinatawag na time frame. So, ano ba ang hindi sabihin ng time frame? So, a time frame in forex trading, can refer to any designated unit of time in which trading takes place. Typically, forex time frames will be measured in minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Okay. So, yung time frame, kung ano yung time frame niyo sa chart, hibigsabihinon, yun yung oras na mga candles. Okay. So, para mas maunawa natin, maganday na, assure natin live sa mt4. Para makita niyo, san ba itong time frame? Para na din dun sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam. Ayun, kita niyo na. Okay. So, yung time frame po sa mt4 desktop, makigita po dito sa taas. Ayun, itong part na yan, yan niyo mga time frame. So, ito kung m1, that is 1 minute. Okay. Yung m5, 5 minutes. Yung m15, 15 minutes. Yung m30, 30 minutes. Each one, meaning yan 1 hour. H4, 4 hours. Day 1, day 1, or daily yan. And week 1, po itong w1. Tapos mn, month po yan, isang month. So, anong ba yung nagagawa nito? So, kapag naka h1 kayo, meaning yan, lahat ng candle na nakigita niyo, tingi isang oras yan. Okay. Kapag naka h1 po kayo, naka h1, every candle isequiba din to 1 hour. Meaning, ang isang candle na ito, ang isang candle na ito, 1 hour siya bago na buo. Okay. Ito, 1 hour bago na buo, 1 hour na bago na buo, 1 hour bago na buo. So, after 1 hour, lilipat na siya para mag-create ng another candle. Okay. Yan kapag naka h1 kayo. And ganun din, sa iba pa ang time frame. So, kung naka 5 minutes kayo, nimbawa naka naka m5 kayo, meaning, every candle na yan, isequiba din to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, lilipat na siya and mag-create ng isang candle. Okay. So, yan po yung time frame. Kaya, wag po kayong maguluhan, kung ano yung time frame. Meaning, kung naka d1 kayo, isang araw ang isang candle. So, kung may 5 candle na magakatabi, 5 days yan, bago na tapos. Dige isang araw. So, mamay explain natin. Ano ba yung kalagan? Kailangan ba na magpapalit-palit? Ano kayong time frame? Yung dapat gamitin, kung gusto namin mag-create. Ano ba? Pwede bang m5, m15. So, mamaya, didemo natin siya ng live. And, step by step, pano ba yung ano ba yung mga kinokonsider para mag-create? Saan ba magsisimula? Okay, kasi di ba? Pag-arap nyo sa chart, gusto nyo mag-create. Nag-uluhan kayo, ano nang gagawin po? Ano di tingnan po, mag-babay na ba ako, selo, wala kang alam kung ano yung gagawin mo sa chart? So, mamaya, after na ito, na mga tabis natin, mag-ful strategy tayo. Detailed on how to trade. Okay, simula sa simula. Yung mga titing na natin una hanggang entry. Okay, hanggang sa pag-enter na. Ano yung mga titing na natin na confirmation para makapag-design tayo whether to buy or sell? Okay, pas tayong time frame po, yan na, mga sataas na yan, na m1, m5, m15 and so on. Okay. So, balik tayo sa presentation natin. Wait lang po. At lang exit tayo. Okay. So, lipa tayo sa correlation of gandals in time frame. So, ito, napakalaga po na ito. So, dito yung malalaman ano yung correlation ng candle sa time frame. So, makit pagtumitingin ako sa D1, sa week 1, ko-konti ang candles, pero pag-mumababa ako sa M15, 5 minutes, napakadaming candle. Pakit yanon. Okay. So, dito natin malalaman. So, ang isang one hour candle, ito, ayan, ang isang one hour candle, kapag dining na nyo po siya sa 15 minutes. So, ang one hour po, ilang 15 minutes, apat. Okay. Apat na 15 minutes, ang isang oras. So, makikita natin kapag nabuo yung apat na 15 minutes candle. Ito, 1, 2, 3, 4. Kapag natapos yan, pag switch natin sa one hour time frame, ganito yung ichura ng candle. So, bakit ganyan? So, diba, tinuroan tayo kanina, kapag bullish candle, ang open price niya sa mababa, mag-u-close yan sa taas. Okay. So, ito na mga gukit, ito yung mga gukit, para masundan nyo paano na perform yung candle. So, nagsimula mag-open yung 15 minute candle dito. Okay. Then, nag-close siya dito. After close niya, susunod na yung next, na 15 minutes candle. So, nag-open yung next candle dito, kasi dito ay yung closing ng candle. So, nag-open dito, bumaba yung price yung hanggang dito. Okay. Ang hanggang dyan. And after niya, bumalik dito sa taas. Okay. Bumalik dyan. Then after lang 15 minutes, 30 minutes na yan, dalawang candle, lumipat yung 15 minutes candle dito, kasi dito nag-close yung bearish candle. So, ito, bumaba yung price yung and umakiad, nang umakiad, umabot dito. Okay. So, ito na yung highest point niya. Ito naman yung lowest point. Okay. After yung makakiad dyan, bumagsak, nag-close yung price dyan. Okay. Nag-close dyan. Next, na 15 minutes candle dito nag-open and bumagsak dito and nag-close dito. So, kapag sinundan natin yan na apat, dito yung open, pumunta yung lowest point dito, dito, pumunta yung highest point yung 15 minute, yung isang 15 minute, umakiat anggang dito. So, dito yung highest point and saan nag-close yung last 15 minute candle na ikaapat dito. Okay. So, kapag natampos yung apat na 15 minute candle, ano ang ityura ng one hour candle? Ito na po yan. Okay. Dito nag-open dito, bumamba dito, yung pangalawang 15 minute candle, tumas naman yung ikaplong 15 minute candle, pero nag-close yung ikaapat na 15 minute candle dito. Iyan. Paya ang nangyari, kapag sinundan natin yung one hour candle, ganyan yung ityura. Okay. So, saan na na unawaan nyo paano na bubuo yung mga candle? So, kaya hindi ko yung malilito, ah, nakakita kayo ng apat na 15 minute candle. Okay, titingnan ko, ano kayang ityura nito sa one hour? Iyan. So, titingnan nyo lang yung time frame, pagati-atiin nyo yan para mabuo yung one hour. So, kung 30 minutes yung time frame yun, eh ditala walang na candle. Okay, dalawang candle, magiging one hour candle na. Kapag nakak... ah, 10-5 naman kayo, 12 iyan. Okay, 12 na candle, 12 na 5 minute candle, bago maging one hour. Okay. So, next, paano naman yung bullish candle na walang week? Ano yung ityura niya sa lower time frame, kagaya ng 5 minutes? Ano kayo yung ityura niya? So, makita natin, nag-open yung price dito and yun na din yung lowest point niya. May sabihin, wala ng candle na bumagsak pa sa baba ng open price. Kaya yun ay yung lowest point. Ito na kung saan siya nag-open, dun na din ang lowest point. So, next, 5 minute candle. Ito, next, ito naman, pang lima. And yung pang anim, yung last candle nag-close dito. And walang week na umakiat. Walang week. Sa anim na ito, walang umakiat sa taas. Wala umakiat, walang bumagsak sa baba. So, makita natin, yung M30, solid body ng solid green candle ng body. Okay? Kasi, walang nag-open siya and nag-close na sarado na walang week. So, anim yung sabihin niyan, kapang nakita niyo ito sa M5, meaning yung pataas yan. Okay? Papaakiat, di ba? Papaakiat. May bullish pressure. And nakita niyo, pag switch yung sa 30 minutes, napakalaking green candle. So, mag-dideside kayo, ah, naku-sigay, magbabay ako, malaki, malakas ang bullish pressure. Okay? Ganyan yung na-perform yan, na-candle na walang week. So, dito naman, paano naman yung ichura ng isang 5 minute candle na ganto, na may body na maliit, may week na mahaba. So, eto 5 minute candle. So, diting na natin yung M1. Okay? Yung 1 minute candle. Ano yung ichura na 5 minute candle sa 1 minute timeframe? Okay? May yung M5 sa M1. So, dahil ang 5 minutes ay compost ng 5 tigi-isang minuto, so, ganito yung ichura niyan. So, dito nag-open yung first 1 minute candle, nag-close dito, nag-open naman yung second 1 minute candle, nag-close sa dito, and nag-open na din yung sunod yung ikatlo, and wala ng bumaba dito. Kaya, yung lowest point ay dito na. Okay? Dyan ay yung lowest point. Yung 4 na 1 minute candle, nag-close nito, nag-open dito, kumakiat, nag-close dito, and yung last 1 minute candle, yung ikalima, nag-open dito, nag-close dito. Okay? Wala din week. Wala din week. So, ang ichura nito, pag-switch nyo sa 5 minute timeframe, yung 5 candle na yan, eto yung ichura. Kasi dito siya nag-open, bumamba, pero tinulak pataas, and nag-close dito. Dyan nag-close. Okay? So kaya nag-ishang week eto, kasi nung matapos yung candle, itinulak pataas. So, nagpapakita itong candle ng bullish pressure. Kaya, etong direction sa M1, makita yung pataas siya. Okay, pataas. And nakita nyo dito. So, mamaya, i-describe natin ano yung mga ichura na yan, may mga pangalan ba yan, and may connection ba yan sa paghanap namin ng entremero. Mamaya, matatakil natin yan. So, eto, isa pang sample, yung isang H4, na napakalaking red candle na walang week. Pagtining na natin yung, sa H1, yung isang malaking H4 o 4-hour candle, dan to yan. Dito nang open, yung first 1-hour candle, nag-close, nag-open, tumaas, nag-close, open yung pangatlo, bumaba, nag-close. And yung susunod, makita nyo dito, guys. Etong pang apat na 1 hour, sinubukan niya saan ng umakiat. Okay? Sinubukan ipush ng buyers yung pressure na tumaas. Pero anong ginawan ng sellers at the end of 1 hour, binagsak ulit siya and tumagusang yung sababa, dito nag-close. Kaya pang nakita nyo, bakit may week, eto. Okay? Sinubukan sana ng buyers, itulak ang pressure, pero wala, talo pa rin sila ng sellers. Kaya nangyari ito, pag-close ng ikaapat na 1 hour candle, pag-switch nyo sa H4 time frame, eto na yung itura niya. Okay? Nagpapakita ng massive selling pressure, napakalaking selling pressure yan. So minsan ginagamit yan as decision or signal para mag-entry ng sell. Okay? So mamaya di detail natin yan. So last, eto, yung pano naman yung pabaligtad na red candle na may mahabang week. So eto H1, susubukan natin siya tingnan sa 15-minute time frame. So dito nag-open yung price, kaya dito siya, kumakiad, nag-close, susunod na 15-minute candle dito, tumas, bumaba, pero nag-close dito. So susunod na candle sa level niya, katapat niya mag-open yung next. Okay? Dito nag-open, bumaba, tumas, inaboto, pero pinulak pababa dito nag-close. Okay? Yan ay yung pangatlong 15-minute candle. And next, pag-close nito, yung susunod na 15-minute candle, katapat lang nung closing price ng nauna. So dito, 39 ng buyers ay push yung price dito. So inabot niya yung level na to. Okay? Pero ginawa, pinush, bababa yung price yung, hanggang dito. So makita natin, kapag nagswitch tayo, tapos na yung 4 na 15-minute candle, pag nagswitch tayo sa 1 hour, ganito yan. Ang itchuran yan. Okay? Ya, sa madaling sabi, yung time frame, parang ano siya, damor na mababa yung time frame, damor na detailed yung makikita, yung story na mga candle. So kapag mataas na time frame, like h4, h1, daily, weekly, hindi yung makikita, na lubos na detail, yung mga nangyari sa market. Pero pagbumabakay sa lower time frame, like m15, m5, m30, h1, makikita nyo talaga paano gumagalaw yung pressure. Bababa toas, tataas bababa. So makikita nyo yan. Okay? So ito naman, paano naman, may nakita akong candle ng ganto. Itchura, halos, mahaba yung week sa tas, mahaba yung week sa baba, pero yung body niya napakalit, parang pinipit, okay, parang naipit, na body. Paano naman siya nabubu? Okay. So kung ito ay m30, try natin tingnan siya sa m5. So dahil 30 minit time frame to, katlo o anim na 5 minutes ang kailangan, magamaging 30. So ito, pagtining na natin, nag-open yung unang 5 minute candle dito, nag-glose dito, okay lumipat sa susunod na 5 minute candle, umangat, nag-glose dito, nag-open ulit dito, umakiat, pero tinulak pa baba, okay, tapas yung sunod na 5 minute candle, nag-open dito, wala ng bumaba dito, tinaas na tinulak, ng bias yung pressure dito, ito yung highest point, ito yung lowest point, pero binagsakulit, nag-glose. Pag-glose dito, nag-open na yung next 5 minute dito, and umakiat ulit, bumaba muna, tapas umakiat, nag-glose dito. And susunod, nag-open dito, bumagsak, nag-glose dito. So pag-tining na natin ng detailed, ito yung open price, yung una, na 5 minute, dito naman nag-glose yung ikaanim na 5 minute. Kaya pag nakita nyo, yung body ng M30, dito yung body niya, ito yung open, dito dinag-open, dito nag-close, kaya napakaliit ng body. Okay? So ano yung ibig sabihin yan? Meaning yan, guys, mahi na, yung pressure ng buyers, mahi na rin yung pressure ng sellers. Kumbaga, mahi na yung galaw ng both sides. So nagpakita ito. So yan po ay isang example lang tinatawag na doji candle. Okay? Yung mga doji candle, nagpapakita yan ng balance. Okay? Pag-balance yung market, parang na-negotiate yung buyers and sellers sa mga panahon na yan. Okay? Hindi mo makita kung buyers or sellers dyan, ang nananalo, wala balance siya. So, mahalaga din yan na confirmation. Kung makita mo ito makandel na ito sa mga key level. So mamaya, itatakan natin kung ano yung mga key level. So basta, kapag nakita kayo ng ganyan, na mahingay nyan ang price. Okay? Napagod na tumahas, napagod bumaba. So naging ganto. Okay? Na mahinga sila. Okay? So yan yung correlation ng candles sa time frames. So, kung wala kayong tanong, kung may tanong, ay post nyo lang po sa Q&A, kung wala naman, versi tayo sa market structure. Okay? So ito na yung isa sa mga unang tiniting nan, kung gusto nyo yung mag-trade. Ito yung unang kinukonsider, yung market structure. Kapag gumara ko e sa chart, unan yung ichi-check ang market structure. So ano ba yung market structure? Saan ba ito tumutukoy? So may, meron tayong tatlong trend sa 4x market. Uptrend, ikalawa downtrend and third, is to range or sideways. Okay? So pang maghita nyo yung chart nyo, may mga pataas, may mga pababa, meron din na parang naglalarulang sagit na yung pressure. Okay? So mga trend po ang tawag yan. Pansinabi natin, bull, market or uptrend, market structure gives us bias for trading opportunities. Okay? Ito yung magbibigay sa atin ng bias. Yung mga trend. So sa bull market, sa bull market, ang bull market po, ito po yung uptrend. Okay? Pagsinabing bull market uptrend yan. We always look to buy. Okay? Kapag uptrend, buy lang daw, puwang anapin natin na trend. Okay? Clear. Malino pa sa malino. Pag uptrend, buy ang anapin. Pero kapag, downtrend naman o bear market, yung bear market tumutukay naman sa downtrend. We always look to sell highs. Okay? Kapag downtrend, ang anapin lang po natin sell. Okay? Walapong sinabi dyan, nga dapat mag-buy tayo sa bear market umag sell tayo sa bull market. Okay? Asikapag ngun po yung laging natin inahanap ang tawag sa atin counter trader. Okay? Paktaas yung presyo, panay ka sell. Okay? Inaasan mo bumagsak. Yung pababa naman yung market, panay kabay nga asaka, umaasaka na tumaas yung presyo. Okay? So medyo mahirap po yun. Maraming beses kang may SL, kapag ganyan ka. So ang gagawin nang po natin, kapag pataas yung market, so buy lang anapin, sasabayan lang natin yung agus ng presyo. Kung tumataas, ay di ba, buy tayo. Pag bumaba ba, sell lang po ang inahanap natin. Okay? Para maiwasan natin na, laging may SL. Yung isa pang type of market, tinatawag na range market or yung sideways. We look for buy, low, sell, high. Dalawang pwede natin gawin sa range market. Magbabay tayo, magsisel. Pwede mag, buy, pwede magsend. Para mavisualize natin, ano yung ichura ng tatlung ten na ito. May picture tayo. So una yung up ten or bullish market. So paano natin masisabi na uptrend ang isang market? So a bullish structure is defined by a series of higher highs, HH, yung shortcut, and higher lows, HL. Okay? Para hindi na natisulat yung higher high, higher low. Ito yung parang acronym niya. So higher high, HH, higher low, HL. So paano ba abasahin? Saan ba tinitingnan itong mga higher high and higher low sa market? So ito yung restriction natin. Yung una ang tawag high. May bisabi yung unang high. Babagsak yung presyo, mag-create ng low. Okay, unang low. Ngayon ginawan ng presyo, tumahas. Nilagpasan yung unang high. So ano na ang tawag, sa susunod na high? Ang tawag po yun, higher high. Okay? Manaling maunawan, higher high. Mas matahas yung high nato, sa naon ng high. Okay, kaya tinatawag siyang higher high. And susunod, nag-create ng pangalawang low. Ang tawag na po sa kanya, higher low. Itong low nato, itong low mas matahas, kaya sa sa naon ng low. Kaya tinawag siyang higher low. Okay? And so on, kaya create ng higher high, higher low, higher high, higher high. So pag nakita nyo na ang chart nyo na ititrade, ganito yung ichura. Hanapin nyo. Nasan ba yung mga tuk-tuk? Tumataas ba yan ang tumataas yung mga tuk-tuk? Yung mga highs? Kung o-o, uptrend yan. At dahil uptrend, buy lang ang hahanapin. Okay? Okay, may tanong si Sir Bendo. Sa uptrend or downtrend bako, ano ba ang ideal time frame na gagami din? Okay, good question po ano. Hinihintay ko itong tanong na ito na may magtanong. So maganda po ano. Sa uptrend or downtrend, sa pagtikin ng market structure, mas better po na titingin tayo sa higher time frame. Okay? Wag tayong gagamit ng 5 minutes, 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes sa pag-figure at ng trend. Okay? Gagamit po tayo dito ng mas mataas ng time frame. Kagaya ng H4 daily, weekly, pataas na yan. Okay? Sa 4 hour pataas. Kasi, pag nakakam 4 hour kayo pataas na time frame, mas makikita nyo yung buong structure. Okay? Parang nakazoom out kayo. Pero pag gumamit kayo nung mabababang time frame, M5, M1, M15, hindi nyo makikita yung buong body ng chart. Okay? Kaya, gatingin nyo sa 5 minutes, pataas. Okay? Up to 10, sabi ni Sir Aaron, dapat buy lang. Pero, nung nagswitch kayo sa 4 hour, pababapa lah. So nice sale kayo. Kasi sabi nyo, bakit gaya, nag buy naman ako pataas. Kasi nga, na sa lower time frame kayo, kontin details lang, ang makikita nyo dyan. Hindi nyo makikita yung buong chart. Pero, pag tumas kayo sa H4, day 1, makikita nyo kung ang trend talaga, pataas, upababa. Okay? So, sana nasagot nyo yung tanong ni Sir Bendo Bayucot. Okay, tinggi pa sir sa pagtanong po. Okay, so yan yung kuna, yung update. So, sa real chart, ito siya, kapag dining na natin sa real chart, yung update, itong nasakanan. Okay? Yan, ito yung higher high, higher low, higher high, higher low, higher high, higher low, higher high. So, pag nakita yung chart nyo, naggenyan yung ichura, pataas ng pataas yung mga tuk-tuk, yung mga low, pataas din ang pataas, that is an uptrend or bullish market. Buy lang ang aking natin dyan. Wag kayo mag-sell. Pero mamay, ito turun natin, sana kayo pwede mag-sell, kahit uptrend. Okay? Meron yan. Susunod is downtrend or bearish market. Sa bearish structure naman ito, ito itin na tawag naman, composyan ng mga lower lows and lower highs. Kung sa bullish market, higher highs and higher lows, sa downtrend, tawag natin dyan, lower lows and lower highs. Kung bakit lower low, lower high, kasi pababa ng pababa? Okay. Yung higher high, pataas ng pataas. Okay. So, ito, unang low tumahas, nagaroon ng high, bumangsak. Mas mababa ito, kaysa dito sana una. So ang tawag dito, lower low. Mas low sana unang low. Mas mababa sana unang low. Kaya ang tawag lower low. And a great nang another high, pero yung high nato, mas mababa, compare sana unang high. So ang tawag dyan, ay lower high. Okay? Mas low na high. Mas mababa sana unang high. And so on, lower low, lower high, lower low, lower high, lower low, lower high, lower low. So kapag nakita yung ganyan ng market, kaya nito, low, high, lower low, lower highs, lower low, lower low, lower low, lower high, lower low. Okay, pang nakita yung ganyan yung chart nyo. Okay, downtrend to. Kaya lang ang anapin ko para safe. Okay? So yan yung anong una. Sa una palang nabayas, medyo tatas na yung chance nyo na tumama yung time nyo. Pag alam nyo, yung market circuit, yung trend. Hindi na kayo, ano kayo magbabay, yung magsisala ko? Hindi na kayo yung, hindi makapag decisional ito. Basta, unang titing nan, yung trend. Kung anong trend, dun tayo, sa kailang tayo sa trend. Next is range, or sideways market. Eto naman, makikita nyo, medyo ano to, choppy. Ano ito nyo na yung tinatabi na yung iba na choppy market. Or range market. Kasi, hindi mo masasabi kung up trend, oh, downtrend siya. Kasi nga, yung mga highs and lows niya, halos magkakalemin lang. Ito, yung tarawag dyan ay equal highs and equal lows. Meaning, halos magkakalemin equal yung mga highs and lows. Kaya pag nakita yung chart nyo ganto, di ba, yung mga tuk-tuk niya, magkakalemin lang. Hindi naman ibig sabihin na magkakapantay talaga. Basta, pumabasok siya sa zone na parang magkakapantay lang. Okay di ba, yung low niya ito, yung low niya ito, ito naman yung low niya, low, di ba, hindi siya pagantoh, hindi rin siya paganyan. Okay, siya uptrend, hindi siya downtrend. Ang tawag dyan is sideways or range market. So, paano ba itrade kung range, saan po kami dyan magbabay, saan po kayo may magsisel? So, kapag nakita yung tear na gusto nyo itrade, ay nag-arrange. Hanapin yung yung mga lows niya and mga highs. So, sa lows, dito po kayo magsisel. Okay, sa mababang yan. Every time magtouch sa baba, pwede kayo magganap. Ah, sorry, ng buy. Sorry, buy pa lang hanapin sa baba. Okay, dito kayo magbabay, dito naman magsisel. Okay, every time pumapasok yung pressure dito sa taas, binabagsak. So, kung ganyan nakigita nyo, pagbalik nyan sa taas, hindi magsisel kayo. Kasi, may chance yung pressure, itulak pa baba, kasi nga arrange yung market. Kapag pumupunta naman sa baba, magbabay kayo. Kasi, ang tendency, alam nyo, tinulak yung mga pressure dito. Yung mga naon ng pressure, tinulak siya patas, pagpasok dito sa baba. So, nung pumasok ulit dito, nagbay kayo, tumas yung pressure, dito naman kayo. Okay. Pero hindi po ganyan, kasi simple, hindi hindi sabihin, pagbay nyo automatic tatas yan, hindi hindi sabihin pagsel yung automatic baba. Kasi, ang reality, kapag nigerange pang market, beware. Okay. Mag-ingat kapag nag-arrange market. Mamit po, coach, mag-ingat. Kasi, kapag nag-arrange po ang islang pair, ang market, meaning, bumabelo po yan. Okay. Bumabelo siya. Bumabelo po saan. Bumabelo siya ng ng direction. Kasi, after nyan, hindi nyo alam, anytime, pwede yan, big lang basagin, lumipad yung pressure patas. Or, basagin sa baba, bumagsak pa baba yung market. So, walang nakakaalam, kung kailan mababasag ang isang range. Kaya, personally, ako po, hindi ako nag-trade, kapag range ang market. So, kung para sa akin lang, hindi discourage ko na mag-trade sa range. Kasi, malaki ang chance na maesel kayo, hindi nyo alam, kung saan nyan. Pero, kapag up-trade, nyo pataas. So, pag nag-bike kayo, may chance pataas nga. Pag nag-sell naman kayo sa down-trade, may chance na tumama kayo kasi pababa nga yan. Pero, pag nag-range, hindi nyo alam. Iba, maling nyo, pag-bike nyo dito, lumapas dito, o na-esel kayo. Okay, tas tumas pala. Nag-sell kayo dito, pag-baba ng kundit, tumas naman, tas bumaba. Kasi, magulu po, talaga ang range market. Hindi siya kagantukalinis. May mga range market po, na, nyo nyan, pataas, bababa, po-punta yan, po-punta yan, babalik dito. Napakagulu. So, kung ang SL nyo wala, hindi nyo malalaman kung saan nyo SL nyo nyan. Kasi nga, chapay ang market. Walang sinusunod nyo structure, parang nyo siya, wala sa sarili, pag nag-arrange. Okay, so, kung ako tatanungin, tabes po i-trade na-trade, ang up-trade at down-trade, yan lang. Pero kung gusto nyo i-try ang buy-and-sell sa range, wala naman pang masama. Pwede nyo i-try. Basta, nasahan nyo, basta aware kayo, kung may SL kayo, kung big lang lumilipat, bigla, o bumabagsak bigla, yung pressure, tapas babalik. Iyan po yung reality sa market. May experience nyo po yan, sa patuloy, na pag-trade nyo. Okay? Okay, tapos na tayo sa market structure, may tanong po kayo, paki-post na lang, o paki ko, kilagay sa Q&A. So, next, ano na po yung titing na namin, coach? Alam na namin, yung market structure. Okay, nakita ko po yung pair na gusto ko i-tay, up-trade, buy po ang anaping ko. Okay, alam ko na, magbabay ako. Pero ang tanong, saan ka magbabay? Okay. Sa dito na papasok, yung key levels. Okay? Yung key levels, ito yung where. Okay? Ito yung where. Saan yung ilalagay yung trade nyo? So, ano ba yung key levels? Key levels in forex trading, referred to specific price levels o na currency, currency pair stride that are considered significant based on their historical price action. Okay? Yung key levels, okay, as i-tay, to see, ito yung mahalagang level, significant. Okay, bakit siya mahalaga? Kasi these levels are often used by traders to identify potential support and resistance level which can help them make informed trading decision. Okay, yung mga level na ito ay mahalaga. Sana'ol mahalaga. And joke lang po. Okay. So, yung level na ito, ay dito kasi, nagkakaroon ng interaction yung price. Dito nagbabounce yung mga price. Diba? Pag nagtitoy tayo, ang hanapin natin yung mga level kung saan magbabounce ang price. Iyan po yung reality sa trading. Kung saan kasi bul magbounce ang price, dun tayo pumapesto ng buy or sell. So, nampakhalaga po na alam natin kung saan ang key levels na ito. Kung alam natin to, hindi tayo mawawala sa market. Hindi tayo siya. Chamba ng buy or sell kasi may guide tayo na key levels. Okay. So, may tanong po sa daily timeframe bullish at sa M1 is bearish. So, kapag mag-entitize sa M1, magintay pa ba tayong mag-bullish yung M1 bago tayong mag-entitize. Okay. Magandang tanong po, sir Eduardo. So, maganda po yun. Lalakas ang possibility na tumamam po kayo. Kapag ang lahat ng timeframe o major ng mga timeframe ay magkakasabay ng trend. Alimawa, sa daily timeframe nakita niyo pataas. Pumabakayo sa H4, pataas din. Pumabakayo sa H1, pataas. Pumabakayo sa M30, pataas din. Inso-on, hanggang sa lower timeframe, M5, M1, pataas. So, malili to pa ba kayo kung ano ang enter niyo? Baka sabihin niyo, ano. Buy na yun. Kapag lahat ng timeframe ay nagsynchronize na bullish yun ay yung parang sinasabihin, sisi gawang ka na ng chart niyo kung nakakapagsalita pa lang yun. Magbay ka na. Okay. Kasi nagsynchronize siya lahat. Pero ang challenge kasi yung hindi yan madalas mangyari. Pagpumalit kayo sa imang timeframe, bearish. Pababa. Pababakayo sa isang timeframe, pataas. Okay. So, maglalamin natin kung ano yung bias natin dyan kapag, napag-aralin natin ito. Itong mga tinatakal natin sa buong webinar na pag-usapan, makakapag decision kayo, matututu kayo, saan kayo po-pesto ng trade? And saan ba kayo, maghihintay pa muna kayo or mag-e-entrain na kayo? So, ito po, bubukin natin ito kasi na sa key levels pa lang tayo. Now na yung market structure sonid key levels. So, ito po yung isa sa mga napakahalaggang bagay na dapat matutuha natin sa pag-trade, yung key level. Paano ba maglagay natin ito? Mamaya idedemon natin paano siya ilagay and anong mga timeframe. Okay. So, sana po na sagot ko, sir Eduardo. And may tanong pa po si Mamluisa when analyzing the chart, how many up-trend or down-trend should be counted before deciding to trade. Okay. So, kagay po nang nasabi ko kanina pag nag-analyze tayo, nakita natin sa higher timeframe bullish sa age for daily. So, pag-baba natin sa lower timeframe bearish o hihintayin natin mag-bullish din yung lower timeframe. Okay. So, kapag-bababa kontra-re yung mababang timeframe, kaya natin na mag-matcha sa higher kasi ang na susunod po higher timeframe. Okay. Mag-po tayo didikit masyade sa lower timeframe pero kung yung scalper tayo ayun, pwede kayo dyan pero yun nga medyo mas-risky po kapag nags-scalp kayo sa lower timeframe kasi medyo chapi talagang galo dyan pataas-bababa pataas-bababa pero kapag nasa higher timeframe ayun, kapag nansimula na yung pag-angat pag-taas ng higher timeframe kahit mumababayan at the end of the day at the end of the week at the end of the month pataas yun ng pataas. Okay. Lamang pa rin dyan yung long term trend. Okay. Major trend po kasi itong mga higher timeframe. Pwede po ba namin gami ito yung resistance in support if di pa ito nababasag ng recent price? Opo. Hindi naman pwagulay yung tanayong yung sir Jaymar. Opo. Kapag yung support and resistance mamaya, pagusapan po natin, para discuss mo na natin sir ay tatakal po natin kasi susunod na slide support and resistance na po. So mamaya, masagod po natin yan. So Q&A, alam mo yung margastructure pero may malaking news sa sagasain po bang technical analysis kaisa fundamental analysis. Okay. Magandang tanong kay mam po by no sir. Marcel Cerelio. Okay. So ito po webinar natin ay all about technical analysis. Wala po di itong kasama ang fundamentals at itong tinatawang nilang news. So matatakal yan ni Sir Shem sa susunod na mga araw pero yun nga po kapag may news o bibigyan ko nila ng kongteng idea. Ang news po hindi niya minsan near-respect ay yung support and resistance. Okay. Pero kapag ang time frame paang trend sa higher time frame pataas minsan sinusundan po yan ng news. Okay. Kahit na technical siya minsan yung mga fundamentals susunod pa rin sa technicals pero sa higher time frame. Okay. Ang trend niya sa higher time frame. So minsan kahit mo mamagsak siya kaspag news sumipa yung pressure pataas partinyo sa higher time frame kasi trend pala talaga. So papunta dun yung price. Okay. Para may guide kayo saan possible yung news tingin kayo sa pinaka trend sa major time frame higher time frame para makita nyo saan yung bias niyo saan kaya possible pero wala pung nakakaula sa news. Okay. Saan na mayintinda nyo kung you subukan ula ng news base lang sa trend. Okay. Kumbaga bias lang yun na ibebesan nyo. Okay. So eto lang yung bias ko pero hindi bisabi na talagang tatama. Okay. Bias lang po. Okay. So better kung ayon nyo po matututuan natin sa webinar ni Sir Shem ang about yan na paano ba magtrain sa news. Okay. Fundamentals po kasi yan. So dito mo na tayo sa technicals. Okay. So kagay nang sabi natin eto makilevels na ito. Eto yung lugar kung saan tayo po-pesto ng entry. So ano ba yung support ano yung resistance? So support is something that prevents the price from falling further. Whether the price falls to the support line it's likely to bounce back. The support level is always below the current market price. Sa matalang yung resistance something which stops the price from rising further. Whenever the price rises to the resistance it's likely to bounce back. The resistance level resistance po yan. The resistance level is always above the current market price. Yung support always below. Okay. Yung support daw yung pumipigil sa presyo na mas bumabapa. Nami sabihin, pagpumupunta sa support tinutulak patas. Yung resistance naman pumasok yung presyo sa isang resistance more likely itutulak siya pababa. Okay. Yan ba yung idea? So eto yung illustration para mavisualize natin. So eto yung mga support eto yung Okay. Tingin nyo kung paano ginagawa yan o ano ang ginagawa ng presyo ng support and resistance sa price. Okay. So dito dahil ito ay support nung pumasok yung presyo tinas. Okay. Bounce back. Okay. Tinulak patas. Pero may resistance naman sa area nato. So nung pumunta yung presyo sa resistance ano naman ang ginawa sa presyo itunulak pababa. Bumalik sa support tinulak ulit patas. Bumalik sa resistance tinulak ulit pababa hanggang binutas na yung support. And dito nung nagbounce tumas may support. Okay. Kapag po nagbabounce yung price sa isang area may sabihin may potential support po dyan. Kung bakit siya pinigilan na mas bumaba tinulak patas. May support po dyan sa level o sa zone sa area na yan. Okay. So panong ba ititred dyan? So ibig sabihin kung na sa support yung price magahanap tayo ng buying opportunity. Okay. Dito magahanap tayo ng mga buys sa support. Samantalang sa mga resistance magahanap tayo ng sell opportunity. Sell Sell Sell Okay. Baputayong magbabay sa resistance magsisell sa support. Okay. Kasi medyo yung entrenal. Kasi nga support dyan. Mad niya magsisell i-possible magbounce yun dyan. Okay. So yun pa no? Yung idea saan maglalagay ng support and resistance. Umamay ito turun natin pa na ilagay yan. So ang isabapong type ng support resistance kasi ito nung mga support resistance na ito ay mga power horizontal ayan horizontal. So may sabapong type yung trend line ito. Patagilin na support resistance. Okay. Pwede din siyang maging support and resistance. Bakit? Every time maghita nyo every time lumapit o pumasok sa trend line dino tulak yung presyopataas. So support yun kasi di ba ang support dino tulak ang presyopataas. So every time pumasok sa trend line ito tulak pataas. Pag pumasok ito tulak. Pag pumasok ito tulak. Dito ito tulak. Ayan. So dito naman tayo magahanap na mga buying opportunity. Kapag may nakita ka yung trend line pumasok yun pasibul itulak yung presyopataas. So magahana po yun yung kayo magbabay buy buy buy. Okay. Sa resistance naman na trend line dino tulak ang presyopataas. So nakita nyo. Ayan. Diba. Parang parang may backward na hindi siya makatagus. Bumababa siya ng bumababa pero buy slant yung structure niya. Okay. So magahanap naman tayo na mga selling opportunity every time lumapit o magtouch sa trend line. Yun po yung basic idea ng trend line as support and resistance. Okay. So hanapin natin yan sa chart. Pag nakita nyo yung mga kais ay pababa na parang may sinusunda na guhi lalagyan nyo ng trend line. Okay. Sa baba naman lalagyan nyo ng support. Okay. So yan po yung isa pang type ng support resistance which is the trend line. So Sir, paano magset ng trend line? Meron bang ganyan? O po, sir, friendo, mamay ako after na itong key levels lalipat po tayo sa MT4 didemo natin yung natakil natin. Okay po. So break and retest. Ano naman yung tinatawag na break and retest? Ang break and retest po isa po ito sa pinaka basic na strategy pero pinaka effective or napaka past ng chance na tumama ka sa trade kapag ang inahanap po yung break and retest. Okay. Ano ba to? When a significant support resistance level is broken, the market tends to retest it before continuing in the breakout direction. The idea behind this is to wait for the price to break out of an area of support or resistance. Once it does, wait for price to retrace and move back towards the original area of support and resistance. Okay. So anong ba yung break and retest? Meaning sabi dito, kapag ang isang support daw ay nabasa alimawa may support dito. Nagbounce yung price pero nung second time hindi na siya nagbounce. Binotas niya. Sabi dyan, kapag namputas daw ang isang support parang may instinct yung market. Ang tendency niya babalik siya dun sabi nasag niya ang support and bago mag-contin yung pababa. Okay. After niya mag-retrace dyan, mag-contin yung nasya pababa. Okay. So dito hanapin ang sell. Okay. Sa after naman, kapag ang isang resistance, okay, nagbounce. Pero yung second time, binasag yung resistance. Ang tendency na market, babalik para mag-retest. Okay. Itetest niya ulit yung binasag niya ang resistance. Pag bumalik siya dyan, more likely malakain chance dito kayo mag-buy. Kasi mag-contin yung nasya patas. Kasi di ba, yung market, hindi po siya gumagalaw ng isang direksyon, uptrend. Pababa naman isang direksyon, di ba wala? Wala kayo makitang ganyan. Unless, minsan may news kaya makita yung haba ng kandil. Pero, bihira po yun. Pero ang normal nagalaw ng market, after rise, po-pull back, aangat, pull back, aangat, pull back, aangat, pull back. Ganyan sa uptrend. Sa down turn naman, babagsak, mag-pull back, babagsak, po-pull back, babagsak, babagsak. Okay. Yung pull back, tinatawag din retracement. Okay. Parang bumubelo siya pabalik, bago siya mag-continyo sa direksyon niya. Okay. So, after ng guelo, ng pull back, opportunity natin yun na pumasok ng entry, kapag nag-pull back. Kaya ito po yung tinatawag na break and retest. Pag break niya, mag-retest, dito, hahanap ng enday. Okay. So, paano ba siya? May dalawa po yung kind of break and retest. May tinatawag tayong SBR and RBS. Yung SBR, tinatawag po yung support becomes resistance. Meaning, yung dateng support, naging resistance. Okay. So, paano siya? Ano yichura niya? Okay. So, pangmangitan natin dito sa area na dito. Eto ay may support. Bangit may support? Kasi, nung pumunta dito yung pressure, itinulak pataas. Bumalik dito, tinulak ulit. Bumalik dito, tinulak ulit. So, meaning, talagang may support area yan. Pero, nung ikaapat na pagbaba, hindi niya kinaya ng support. Bina sa gaya yung support. Okay, makita niyo. Hindi na siya nagbounce pataas. Binuta siya. So, ano yung ginawa na market? Sabi natin sa break and retest, kapag bina sa gang isang support, possible maging resistance. Kaya nga support becomes resistance or SBR. So, makita natin dito, bumalik yung pressure doon sa binasag yung support. So, sa SBR po, sell po ang anapin natin. Okay? Sa SBR, sell po ang inahanap. So, kung nagsell kayo dito, bumagsak yung pressure. Okay? So, kumita kayo, profit. Okay, yun nung simple idea, break and retest. Sell. So, silang putatandaan sa SBR, sell po ang inahanap. And dapat, makita nyo yung SBR sa anong trend ng market. Uptrend ba? Or downtrend? Sa natin nyan dapat makita yung SBR. Sa downtrend or sa uptrend? Pwede nyo itype yung mga answer nyo? May points po ba tayo mam Sally? Down. Okay. Ayon. Sa sumagad po kayo, may points na ko ang makakasagot. Okay. Okay, si Sir Joe Pinaw na down. Very good po ano. Sa downtrend po na market or trend, dahahanapin ng SBR para mataas yung chance na tumama kayo. Kasi yung mga SBR pwede rin po magpakita sa uptrend. Pero yun nga, mas mababa yung chance nya na tumama kayo, kaysa dun sa downtrend. Kasi di ba? Ang downtrend nyan. Pababa, taas, baba, okay. Yung SBR yun, yun yung nakigitan nyo na nagpupulback sa downtrend. Ayon. Ayon. Ayon. Ito, ito yung mga SBR. Ayon. Kasi support natin naging resistance, support natin naging yun yung SBR. Kaya dapat, downtrend. Pwede nyo yan, itake note po ano. Yung mga rules na yan. Makakatulong ko yan, makapag-deside ko yung Pwede naman hinging yung recorded video nito after sa Direction of Moms Ali pero dapat po may registered kayo o verified account sa TickMill para masintan po kayo nito. Anong mamaya po ay sa sabihin po ni Moms Ali pano po kayo masintan. So sunod sa SBR ayong RBS, resistance become support. Kabalik taran naman po ito, yung dating resistance naging support. So pano siya nangyari? So una, nakita natin na may resistance kasi every time nung pumasok siya dito yung pressure binagsak pumasok ulit tinulok pababa tumasulit tinulok pababa nakita natin resistance may pumipigil sa pressure na tumaas pero yung ikaabat na pagkakatawon hindi na kinayan ng resistance. Kaya yan po yung reality, ang mga support and resistance di habang buhay hindi habang buhay malakas yung support hindi habang buhay malakas yung resistance kasi kung hindi nabubutas ang support and resistance lahat nasana tayong mayaman. Kasi every time pumasok support magubay lahat ng trailer every time pumasok sa resistance magsisailang trailer. Hindi po ano, walang ganyan. Kaya nga ito yung RBS and SBR ito yung reality nakapag ang support dakating ang panahon babasagin yan magiging resistance yung resistance dakating ang panahon babasagin yan magiging support kaya ito yung tinatawag natin na RBS and SBR so ikaabat na pagkakatawon binasag na yung resistance so mayina na yung resistance hindi niya na kinaya yung push down yung price ngayun sa RBS sabi natin ok nabasig yung malakas na resistance so sabi ni Sir Aaron kintay daw ng retest or pullback doon sa resistance na binasag and bumalik na dito kaya yung maghanap ng buy ok sa SBR sell ang inahanap lang sa RBS naman buy lang ang inahanap and dapat makita nyo yung RBS sa uptrend market magpukayaw magbabay kahit may RBS pag down ten pwede naman pero kaya miss mo hindi discover niyo kung alin matahas yung chance natumama akayaw yung RBS sa down ten yung RBS sa up ten kaya po miss mo mag explore niyan pero maganda po yung idea malaman nyo kung ano yung mga dapat yung tignan para makadesed kayo ok so eto yung sample niyan ok so makita natin yung datin support nabasag anong gilawa na price bumalik sa nabasag na support kaya ang ginawa bumagsag bumalik pa na sa ikalawang beses tinulak ulit so eto ang support naman to nabasag bumalik naging resistance yung support naman dito binasag yung support naging resistance pagbalik nereject naging resistance and yung bagong support na necreate binasag ulit anong ginawa na price na greatest bumalik naging resistance so ano to RBS o SBR sige 5 poin sa mau una ano to RBS o SBR ok so sir sample ang nao na SBR nama pa no datin support naging resistance ok SBR po yan and dapat down trend na market down trend naman makita natin anong so selling ang hanapin pa no sell sell dito sell dyan every retest is selling opportunity sa isang down trend sa SBR kapag RBS naman pag anyan every pullback is buying opportunity dyan tayong magbabay ok diba dalawa pa lang na naman natin yung market structure and yung key levels malaki na yung na itulong sa inyo sa pag-design saan magbabay o magbabay ba ko ang mang si sell diba review natin yung una yung market structure unang titing na anong trend ng market switch tayo sa H4 day 1 ok yan yung step 1 titing na natin kapag na figure na natin yung trend ok susunod gagawin natin maglalagay ng support and resistance so ngayon pano ba ilagay sir yung support and resistance ok so ok mag-quick ano tayo tutorial pa anong maglagay so ko ang gamit nyo po guys i m t 4 so subukan natin lagyan na limawa si euro usd ok si euro usd pinakasikat na pair natinitrain ok so pag switch nyo sa day 1 ok so day 1 ang gagamit natin natin para makita natin yung buong structure kasi pagbumbaw na tayo sa m5 wala hindi natin makikita yung buong dan yan lang yung makikita natin hindi yung buong historia sabi ng market so pag nakaday 1 kayo kita nyo kita nyo yung buong structure so paano po kami magplat ng support and resistance so sa taas pagdining na nyo po eto sa insert ok eto sa insert dyan po tayo pwede yung gumamit ng tools para mag-grade ng support and resistance so click natin yung insert dito tayo sa section ng shapes rectangle ok pwede po natin gamitin yung rectangle ok so magdodrawing tayo titing na natin saan yung mga nagbabounce yung price yun na po ang skip saan nagbabounce yung mga price so nandun ang mga support and resistance pero nakita nyo yung mga candles masadong magulu alimawa ganyan maraming week hindi namin mo alam saan po ba yung mga pinakadulu nyan so ang isa poong tip na may bibigay ko at ginagawa ko mag switch po kayo sa line chart so nandito po yung line chart ano sa taas pa yun eto katabi ng candlestick ok so kapag nakaline chart po kayo makita nyo yung mas madaling structure ayan so kapag nakaline chart po kayo kita nyo ng mas malina ok so magpaplat tayo ng resistance una may nakita tayong resistance dito ayan ayong ayan yung resistance na nakita natin so pag pang nakapagplat na tayo babalik na tayo sa candlestick chart ok so makit magandang key level to ok na di ba makita natin dito yung sbr ayan makita natin yun yung sbr ayan so dito galing siya dito support support binasag pagbalik ko di ba kung nagselya dyan bumagsak ng bumagsak ok day one yan ok ilang araw na buong sakbuan pa ok yung simple idea nakita natin kung saan nagbounce yung price nagbounce sa ilalim nagbounce din may key level dyan ok ganyan lang po hanapin nyo lang sa chart nyo saan nyo mga nagbabounce yung price and near respect siya sa taas at baba ok mas malaki po mas malakasang isang support resistance kapag magkabilaan sa nagbabounce so kagatulad nito sa taas nagbounce nito nagbounce pa taas dito sa ilalim nagbounce pa baba so eto level nyan maganda yan o di ba bumalik dito yung price kung bumalik siya nakita nyo yun na resistance our resistance do ha bumangat so na sa ilalim baka itulak pa baba nagsel kayo o di ba bumangsak ng malayo ng ilang araw at weeks ok so ngayon resistance yun so saan naman tayo maglalagay ng support ok basta po ang payo ko lang major resistance in support maglalagay po kayo ting isa punta kayo sa daily lagay kayo ng isang resistance isang support major ibig sabihin na sa daily yun eto yung new respect sa magkabilaan ng maraming basis ngayon dapat alam nyo po kung saan yung current price sa di ba yung current price nand dito so dapat maglalagay po kayo ng support resistance sa malapit lang nyan so wag na po kayo maglalagay dito dito kasi na pakalayo na po nyan sa support sa current price irrelevant tayo baka next year pa yung bago pungunta nyan wag na po tayo para malinis din yung chart natin so ang gagawin natin yung pinaka malapit nyan so eto malapit dito so major isang resistance so gagawa naman tayo ng isang support so saan naman tayo click natin insert again birth tangle so anap tayo ng major support so dito may nakikita kung major support ok wait lang ok so dinyo yung major support ok di ba kung makita nyo dyan yung major na naglalaro yung price show di ba ang dalawa dito sa dalawang yan yung euro is di sa daily so eto yung major support resistance isa yan so ngayon nagawin nyo na yung major support resistance so maging tayo pa po ba kami sir sa dito kasi dito kami magbabay dito kami excel so pano nyan wala pa po dyan day one to ang tagal naman pa siguro baka makapagday tako next month nang kasi wala pa dyan so eto yung major support ba ba ba po kayo pwede kayo bumaba sa lower time frame para maglagay na mga minor support resistance ok basta alam nyo major yan so alimawa ba ba tayo sa h4 ok kayaan eto yung mga major support yan sa task na gray sa task na asababan na gray support so nalagay naman tayo nang next support resistance sa h4 ok insert shape rectangle so hanap tayo alim kayo dito yung mga support resistance sa h4 time frame so dito mapansin natin di ba hindi demo ko lang eto kayaan so kung nakita nyo sa h4 support bumagsak bumalik naging resistance binutas yung resistance naging support na di ba rbs na karon ng rbs kung nakita nyo to nakabay kayo dito yan tumasya layo ok kayaan nga lagan ng mga key levels na alam natin sa nilalagay kasi basis natin yan kung saan tayo po presto next pwede natin nanapin dito meron din kayaan nasa support na pala ngayon si euro-usd ok so kayaong mag-decide mamaya yung isa pang confirmation natin para makapag-decide saan tayo magbabay o kailan tayo magbabay or sell so nakita nyo si euro-usd nasa anan nasa support makit support yan eto nakita natin nagbounce eto si area eto din tatlung basis nageg kayaan kayaan tas magbunta dito nageg pa ba ba tas bumalik kung nakabay kaya dito tumas pero nga yung bumalik ulit sa support so kaya euro-usd po ngayon live kung basis structure buy po ang anapin natin kaya euro-usd base lang sa structure hindi sabihin sinabi kung buy baka mag-buy na kaya agad nag-buy ng lahat kasi pwede yung botasin pa rin yan di natin alam mamaya pag-usapan natin yung ikatlung bagay nahanapin natin hindi sapat na nasa support resistance lang kailangan yung malaman yung entry signal nyo sa candel yun yung next na pag-usapan natin pagpumasok na sa support resistance and price magbabay na po agad yami or mag-sell hindi kailangan yung hinta yun yung signal sa candel kasi may mga itura po yung candel na mag-bibigay ideas ay nyo magbabay na kaya or sell kung wala pa kaya yung nakitang ganun wag agad agad mag-entry okay so yan yung pag-usapan natin saan na nakatulung yung support resistance so hindi na natin hindi detailed pa kasi maubusan tayo ng oras so pwede tayo na ay doon sa last na ikukonsider natin which is yung candels okay yung next napag-usapan natin ay yung candel confirmation okay ngayon alam na natin okay wait lang nag-reset yung power point pag mag-share sa ibang screen okay so natapos na natin yung key levels yung una mark structure alam na natin yung trend uptrend buy naglagay natin tayo ng key levels okay hintay natin na pumasok sa key levels yung price kung wala sa key level ang price no entry so kayo pang mahala kung may rules kayo sa sarili nyo mapapractice nyo po yung discipline kasi hindi kayo mag-se-sell or mag-bide ng kung saan saan kaya nga may key levels may support resistance tayong guide so ngayon naghintay kayo pumasok na sa support pumasok na sa resistance anong yung next step na iko consider nyo eto na po yung mga candle confirmation okay so may mga ichura po yung candle na mag-dibigay hint o idea sa atin kung mag-bide na o go signal ito yung mag-go signal sa atin okay yung candle yun na yung sinabi ko dito kapag nangyari na yung break and retest mag-dibigay ng candle anong signal yung candle stick sa atin nga magsasabi na okay mag-bide na okay mag-sell na okay may mahalaggang kaya pinagusapan natin yung candle stick anato may kanina kasi based dun sa ichura ng candle malalaman natin kung buying or selling pressure ang nanjyan sa market kaya dapat talaga mahalaga yung alam natin yung mga candles na yan pero ngayon may mga pangalan po yung ibang mga candle kanina yung mga ichura lang pero hindi natin pinangalanan so ngayon bibigay natin i-describe natin yung madalas na mga candle marami po yung candle stick pattern or signatures sa internet marami pero etong tatlo yung madalas magpakita sa market and madalas kapag lumabas to yun na yun na yung go signal yung pasok na nga nang trade so yung sure cut na natin yung meaning na ito yung bullish candle stick and bearish candle stick pattern dalawa po ito yung una yung hammer okay sa madaling sa kami yung hammer martylio ano ichura ng martylio di ba mahabang hawakan yung ulo niya maliit so i-visualize po natin siya dito eto eto po yung hammer yung hammer po disregard yung color kahit green yan kahit red yan kung ganyan ng ichura pwede po natin masabi na bullish candle yan o may bullish na pressure na hammer okay kasi same yung week niya sa baba di ba sabi natin kanina dineskas natin kapag may week sa baba may nagtulap ng pressure pataas kaya siya naging week okay so kapag nagita nyo katulad na ito resistance minark nyo yung key level yining tay nyo nabasag sabi kanina sa key level ang tendency na market pag nabasagang resistance magiging support bumalik sa support ngayon na sa support na nakita nyo si hammer sa support level kung saan bumalik yung pressure nung makita nyo si hammer after niyan magbabay na kayo ayan yung basic yung approach na ito paglabas ng hammer magbabay na kayo okay so tingnan nyo yung nangyari after niyo ng hammer tumas nga yung pressure bumalik ulit at the second time hammer again ayan daladalawa ng pinakita ng market na hammer buy na kayo after niyan pero tandaan pa anong patapusing yung candle kung anumang time frame ang gamit nyo hintayin pumatapos yan kung h1 yan hintayin nung matapos yung 1 hour candle bago kayo mag-decide mag-buy kasi di ba minsan kapag hindi patapos yung candle naging hammer na siya okay, bisabihin tumatas ba ba ito rang hammer na pero hindi patapos yung 1 hour nag-buy na kayo nung matapos yung 1 hour dito nag-close sa baba naging bearish candle o di ba talo pa rin yung buy nag-buy na kayo di na iwan yung buy niyo kaya ang safe po pataposin yung candle bago mag-entry ayan patience po anong kailangan nakailangan patience mag-hintayin ng best time or best spot and best confirmation para mag-entry okay, yan po yung isa hammer yung susunod po bullish engulfing when we say engulfing kung sa literal meaning nito kinain okay bisabihin may kinain siya na candle okay bullish engulfing ano yung parang nilagpasan kinain niya ito so ang bullish engulfing po dalawa yan na candle isang malit na red isang malaking green isabihin yung height nito nilagpasan ng green parang kinain niya yung size niyan kaya nagpapakitayan ng bullish pressure kasi may sellers ganto pero ito yung buyers kasi mas mataas okay so saan yung hanapin yan sa support again okay, ilagay po yung sa support pag mga bullish sa support po laging natin ito hahanapin ito mga candlestick na ito yung bumabasa support na reject bumalikulit sa support nagpakita yung bullish engulfing after yan buy na kayo okay after yan magbabay kayo nang yan na sa market sa pressure tumast ng dahanda so tatama kayo yan ito yung mga entry signal natin candel kaya malagap po alam niyo mag-aral kayo and observe niyo at test niyo yung mga candel formation observe niyo sa chart mag-aral kayo makita niyo na working ang mga candel confirmation na yan ikatlong bullish pattern o candlestick ay morning star ang morning star tatlupu yan na candel so ito ay we visualize natin hayan candel doji isang malaking great okay, so ibig sabihin yan may selling pressure big lang nagbalance yung price sabi ko kanin ang doji nagpapakita yan ng balance balance ng buyers and sellers parang nag-negotiate sila parang pagpasak dito mga sellers panay benta ng mga tao pagpasak dito parang nahintu sila nag-usap-usap babay ba kami o mal-se-sell kami naman ba ang papasok sa market mga sellers yung buyers and after ng negation makikita niyo kung sino yung nanalo sa susunod na candel anong yung next candel ito malaking green so alam niyo nanalo ang buyers okay ito yung ichuran yan pero dapat pa sa morning star lagpasan ng green yung red yan yung high quality kasi minsan may ganturin mababa yung green minsan nga reverse parang yan pababa so mas safe po na mas matas yung green sa red para masabi talagang nag-dodominate yung buyers nalagpasan niya yung yung sellers so yan po yung ichuran yan so hanapinulit natin siya sa support pagpumasok sa support nakita natin yung morning star okay parang yung morning star nag-switch ng movement from selling lumiiit tas lumaki buying okay parang kumambyo kaya yung idea ng morning star o di ba tumas after ng morning star okay tatlo yan hammer bullish yung galping morning star kabaliktaran po niya sa bear yung tatlo naman puna shooting star kabaliktaran ng hammer pinabaliktad lang kung yung hammer mahaba yung weak sa baba maliit yung body sa taas ang shooting star parang na hulog na star shooting star mahaba yung weak sa taas maliit yung body yan green or red pwede yan na shooting star okay so nagpapakita naman yan ng selling pressure kasi tinulok ng sellers yung pressure pababa kaya naging ichura ganyan hulaw hindi makataas yung buyers kasi tinulok ng pababa parang wala silang laban so saan natin anapin ang mga bearish kandesik pattern sa resistance okay, lagi sa resistance po yung anap ito sa limawa ito naging SBR so dating support di natin alam maka itong level nato dating support dun sa kaliwa dun sa dating dating left side of chart tapos nabasa kas bumalik na great test ito na maghintay kaya nung pumasok sa resistance okay, hindi mo naka mag-sell kasi sabi maghintay ng candle confirmation plumabas yung shooting star nasa anong shooting star nasa resistance double confirmation yan o yan okay mag-sell nako resistance nato may bearish pattern pa na candle na shooting star wala nang dahilan para hindi ako mag-sell so nung nag-sell kaya boom bumagsak yung mga susunod na candle okay bakit kaya yan okay hindi sabi na candle lang po baka may nakita kayo every time may makita kayo shooting star every time may makita kayo hammer ay nakumababay ako hammer yan mag-sell ako shooting star hindi kahanapin nyo pala yung high quality na candle kung na sa key level yan so kahit may shooting star dito di ba nakita nyo napaka lilakas ng selling pressure yung body niya napakalit na lang di ba nag-sell kayo boom mat hindi bumabak ang tanong nasa resistance na ba nag-pakita to kung wala eto yung resistance yan nag-pakita si shooting star dito kayo pumasok na siluwag dito kasi wala naman siya sa key level okay kaya maalaga alam nyo kung saan nyo yan kahanapin na mga debit lahat ng bullish candlestick pattern sa support kahanapin lahat ng bearish candlestick pattern sa resistance sa hannapin o aabangan okay yung kabalikta naman ng morning anang bullish engalping yung bearish engalping dalawang candle ulit kung kanina read kung kanina yung naon na candle ay read magiging green yung susunod sa bearish engalping green yung mau na read ang susunod ng malaki mas malaki sa naon ng candle so nakita nyo may support support support binasak yung support magiging SBR nakita nyo so pagpasok ng candle tingyan nyo anong tagal tumambay di ba nakita nyo nagdidisay dito yung market nag-negotiate yung buyers and sellers kaya ang liliit ng candle galing siya sa malaki lumiiit pag lumiiit yung mga candle ensak to pumasok sa key level yan yung bias yung magbibigay idea sa inyo okay may mangyayari dito after na itong maliliit so para malaman nyo kung saan to magbibraking nanyo ano yung trend nasan ba tayo na di ba kung down time nakita natin may support na binasak e di magiging resistance passable yan so may bias na kayo okay sila nating ko dito kasi passable to maging resistance kasi galing siya sa brenake na support and nakita ko sa higher time frame down trendin so marami na ang confirmation confluence na nagsama-sama okay so after nang maliliit lumabas si bearish in gulping e ito na yung na knock out na yung buyers dito sa labanan na yan pag maliliit yan dilaglalaban na yan ng buyers sellers pero the moment na lumabas si bearish in gulping napakalaki panalo ng sellers so pag nakita nyo yan sila kayo ayun bumangsak yung pressure okay yan yung isa sa resistance yun na anapin susunod gabalik tara na morning star ayang evening star okay morning and evening so ito naman bearish ano siya uh bearish version ng candel yung morning star ito evening star so ito anapin ulit sa resistance okay so malamang dati tong support binasag tapos bumalik naging resistance pagbalik sa resistance nakita nyo nagpakita si evening star okay after nyan enterin na kayo after nung red candle ito after nyan enterin na kayo ng sell and possible bumagsak siya okay yan yung tatlo sa manamadalas na magpakita sa bullish candel sick pattern ang hammer bullish in gulping and morning star sa bearish naman yung shooting star bearish in gulping and evening star okay so yan yun so yan lang po yung laman ng webinar na ito na technical analysis one so i-end natin siya sa isang quote nang sabi dito no one is born a great trader one learns by trading so never give up okay wala po mahusay na trader na pinanganat na mahusay na lahat yan natututukan kaya kung kayo ay begin ay pa lang nakikita yung iba magagaling na wag kayong panghinaan ng loob kasi lahat ng profitable magagaling na trader galing sa hindi magaling okay nagiging magaling lang kasi hindi sila nag-stop so wag po kayo mag-stop para maging magaling din kayo sa future okay lahat ng bagay na tututuhan so ganun din sa trading nothing is impossible basta disidido at seryo sa kayo na matutuk okay so yan lang po good evening ulit sa inyo lahat dito po na tapos yung ating presentation about the technical analysis one mam sali yes good thank you sir Aero may questions tayo sa q&a sir Aero na sagod na po ba to okay po wait lang po tinulig ko kasi yung presentation so coach ano po ba ang ideal time frame in determining SBR and RBS h4 day 1 pa rin ba okay so sir Ben do sa lahat ng time frame po makikita natin yung SBR RBS pero mas high probability yan kapag sa higher time frame yung nakita kagay kanina mag daily yung 4H mas mataas yung chance and mas mahaba yung binabiay ng pressure kapag nakita yung yan yan pero pwede yung yan makita sa M5 kung scalper kayo hanap kayo ng SBR RBS M5 15, 1 minute pero kung mga swing trader kayo hanap kayo sa higher time frame okay paulit ulit lang po lahat ng time frame nangyari yan pero anta nung sa inyo gusto pumasok dun sa pansamantala na profit o pansamantala na tatama kayo dun sa mas malaking profit na pwede yung makuka ayon so sa confirmation candle naman po mas better sabi kung mas higher time frame mas solid na confirmation so kung makita nyo si bullish and gulping si hammer sa 5 minute pwede, pwede siya mag work pero mas mag work yung hammer sa H1 H4 so mas malaki yung movement nang magagawa niya compared sa lower time frame kaya lahat po yan pwede nyo explore explore nyo po wala nang masama mag demo kayo mag demo kayo explore niyan lahat and tingnan nyo kung saan kayo mas comfortable kung saan kayo mas less stress di ba pag scalper tututukoy yan sa screen magbabantay yan time to time nakaharap pero pwag swing trader kayo madalang lang kayo tumingin kung may magawayin ka may work kayo magagawa nyo siya kasi nga iniiwan nyo yung entry nyo kasi mahaba yung feel nyo mahaba to kasi nakita nyo sa H4 na SBR sa daily na SBR alam nyo ay nako mahaba ang babayin nito so hold do lang okay dependent po kung ano kayong trader pero working siya sa lahat ng time frame mas malakas nga lang yung higher time frame kailan po malamat yung saan ako mag TP sa TP and SL naman po kung nakapagbay kayo sa support ang TP nyo sa resistance yung unang resistance okay pinakamalapit kapag nagsal naman kayo sa resistance ang TP nyo sa support okay kasi dun yung pasibul na pagdadaan ay prasyo so pag lapag dun ng price pagpunta dun makakatipin na kayo and sa SL ganun din sa taas lang o sa pinakamalapit na support if kung nakabay kayo sa support sa ilalim ng support dun kayo mag SL pag nakasal naman kayo sa resistance sa taas lang noon ng konte depende pag may mga candles itas nyo lang ng konte wag nyo ididikit yung SL nyo sa dulu ng mga week ng candle kasi pasibul yan tamaan baglian nyo ng kunting space pa dun galing sa pinakadulu ng candle okay okay nasagot na meron pa po ba mam tapos na po yung ataw wala ng mga tanong guys wala na kayong

From New York City, where the American stage begins, here is another program with a cast of outstanding players and featuring Anzee Strickland as Sergeant Benny Krupke. Public Service Time has been made available by this station for your Army and your Air Force to bring you this story as Proudly, we hail the Women's Army Corps. Our story is entitled, When the Clock Strikes. This is the story about a woman who enlisted and is still serving her country as a member of the Women's Army Corps. After this important message, our first act curtain will rise. Love and loyalty to our country have never been the exclusive attributes of men. And throughout our nation's history, women have given indisputable evidence of their devotion. Now, more than ever before, the services of women are urgently needed to undertake hundreds of jobs that are available in the Women's Army Corps. So why not get an early start with a job that gives you the feeling of being of real service to your country. You'll enjoy that feeling in the Women's Army Corps, and you'll be doing a job that will be a little different every day. You'll be getting the finest specialized training in the world in the career field in which you are best qualified. So don't let this opportunity pass you by. Remember, today young women between the ages of 18 and 34 can best serve their nation by working side by side with the men of the services. So if you want to share in the defense of the American way of life, join the Women's Army Corps now. Stop in at your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station and learn how you can serve best in the modern Women's Army Corps. And now with Amsy Strickland in the role of Sergeant Kropke, your Army and your Air Force present the proudly we hail production when the clock strikes. Let me tell you a little secret about the newspaper game, something I learned the hard way. You can knock yourself out trying to land a good story, trying to beat all the other sheets with a scoop. Yeah, you can whittle yourself down to nothing, pounding the streets and asking questions, poking your nose into everybody's business. And you may end up with a story. Chances are, though, you won't. The story you want to write, the story that you think is important, a lot of times it's right there at the end of your nose, only you're too busy being front-page to recognize it. That's how it was with the series I'm writing now. I didn't shake down any authorities looking for it. I didn't have to dig into old filing cabinets and trucks. The series was handed to me lock, stock and barrel by a slim brown-eyed girl in an army uniform. I even got a free cup of coffee, too. I dropped in at the high school that day tracking down some information about the football coach. It was during lunch period, so I went down to the cafeteria looking for it. I asked a couple of the kids if they'd seen him. Everyone gave me the blank stare. Kids can be like that when they think you're treading on their private property. I was cold and a little mad, and I wanted a cup of coffee. Only the coffee line was a mile long. At least that's how it looked to me. I sat down at the table and studied the situation and desperation. When I heard someone say, You look like you could use a cup of coffee. I don't have a priority, or whatever you need. Well, how about taking this? I really don't want it. Well, thanks a lot, but I can get some of the drugs. No, seriously, I really don't want it. It'll just go to waste. Wow. Um, sugar? One, no cream. I really appreciate this. Most of the students have been giving me the fishy stare, and... And what? Well, you're certainly not a student. No. I mean, the Women's Army Corps have been for quite a few years. Back-seeing old places, old familiar faces? No, as a matter of fact, I've never seen this school before. I'm here on an assignment. You see, I work in recruiting. I go around to the schools and talk to the students during assembly, tell them what we're doing, what it's like being in the Women's Army Corps, why we need them, the whole story. That's interesting. By the way, my name's Jaffee Dick Jaffee. I'm reported with a post. I'm Betty Krupke. Not the story of yours. Can I hear it? Oh, it's nothing spectacular, Mr. Jaffee. As a matter of fact, you'd probably think it was very ordinary. And again, I might not. I'd like to hear it. I'll even buy you a cup of coffee. You haven't got a priority. Well, here's how the story goes, anyhow. Going to war was about the last thing I had in mind back in 1941. I was living with my family in Chicago then, and being the oldest of five girls, I had my hands full 24 hours a day. Pauline was always forgetting where she left her beret. Virginia and Gloria battle constantly over their collection of milk bottle caps. And Carol came home every day from school with scuff knees and a soil pinafore. There wasn't much spare time in those days to see what was happening on the other side of our front door. But war doesn't stay on the outside of any door. War walks right into your living room, like it walked into our living room on that particular Sunday, December 7th, Pearl Harbor. Gloria, honey, I think you better go next door and get mommy and daddy. Mrs. Peterson hasn't got a radio. They'll want to know what we've just heard. The next months were crammed with all sorts of new activity. Volunteer organizations, war bond drives. The boys I knew in our neighborhood had left to join the Army or the Air Force. When the women's Army auxiliary corps was formed, I thought my chance had come. But two years had to pass before I was 21 and able to meet the age requirements at that time. Two long years. And then the week after my 21st birthday... Why exactly do you want to join the WAC, Betty? Well, it's a feeling I can't really put into words, Lieutenant Kenyon. I've been doing a lot of war work, but... Well, I want something more. It's really very hard to explain. Do you think you can adjust yourself to Army routine? Isn't easy. Oh, yes, I do. How much time will you require to straighten out your affairs at home? I've had two years already, Lieutenant Kenyon. I won't need any more time. They must be kidding. No one gets up at this hour. We do. We've got exactly five minutes to make revelry. After you, Private McCarthy, you'll end up being a sergeant, Private Krupke. I know the type. Okay, let's go. Basic training at Daytona Beach. It was November, 1943, and like the Lieutenant said, it wasn't easy. The sky was a thin milk-grey when revelry sounded, and the long day that stretched before us was filled with classes with special training and drilling. In the beginning, you were tired, dead tired, but you didn't talk about it. You didn't have time to talk about it. You were too busy learning the routine of Army life. I learned a lot. And so did my roommate, Marge McCarthy. Another ten years, maybe I'll get used to all this stuff. Marge, what are you going to specialize in? Sleeping. Long-distance sleeping. What else? I thought I'd let the Army tell me. We'll be through our basic in a few more weeks. I wonder if we'll go overseas. I mean, right from here. I died. Do you care? I don't know. I hadn't given it much thought. Maybe you better start as of right now. Maybe I should, but I think I'll let it go until morning. Me too. Night, Betty. Night. Overseas. What did you say? It'll keep. Night, Marge. The days, the weeks spent past, and finally the day we'd all been looking forward to, the day we graduated from basic training. We were all so proud and happy, but there was a certain sadness, too. In the service, something very special and very wonderful happens to you. You meet a lot of new people, and almost overnight you discover that you have a lot of new friends. Friends you'll know for the rest of your life. Friends you work with who share the same hopes, the same dreams. And when you find suddenly that you're leaving them, you realize how much you'll miss them. All of them. Marge and I were both sent to the third Air Force headquarters in Tampa, Florida to work in the finance office. It was work I knew and liked, and our barracks were very comfortable, except for certain unwelcome intruders. I wonder why those darn chickens go straight for your bed when they sneak in our barracks. I don't know. I do wish our neighbors across the road would keep better tabs on their livestock. I expect to see one of their cows in here any day. Come on, let's snap into it and get cleaned up. We've got a date, or have you forgotten? Well, that's one thing I never forget. Private McCarthy, Drew Field, and McDale Field were not too far from our headquarters. And we met a lot of the boys who were training to fly B-17s and B-25s. They were a wonderful bunch, and we had lots of fun. Come on, Betty, let's go outside and soak up some of this water. Oh. Gee, Skip, we've had a lot of fun, and... And it's almost over. You and me, anyway. Um, you'll always be careful, won't you, Skip? No, just as careful as you can be in the tail of a B-17. Look, kid, don't worry, we're a real good outfit. Great pilots, great navigators, and especially great gunners like yours truly, Skip Harris. That's your service, man. Skip, I'm going to do something about this. What are you talking about? No, I want to do what you're going to do. I want to go overseas. You want to what? Oh, now look, you're doing a big job right here. Stay put, baby. No, Skip, I'm not going to stay put. Oh, sure, I know our job is important here, but I think the same job would be doubly important overseas. I'm going to speak to Lieutenant Allen tomorrow. What did the Lieutenant say then? Only that he tries, Skip. Uh-huh. Look, Betty, if you should get overseas, well, I mean, if you and I should meet in maybe London or Paris... Uh, you still owe me a dance. Well, I'll remember. Make sure you do, too. Skip? Yeah? You'll write to me? You try and stop me. Come on, let's go, Don Juan. What's the matter? Is there a war on or something? Take care of yourself, Betty. Goodbye, Skip. You take care of yourself, too. Because, well, just in case you don't know it, there is a war going on. That's how Skip and his outfit moved out to fight. I don't have to tell you I missed him. And I wanted more than ever to get overseas. A few days later, it happened. Special order number 934... My overseas orders? Yes, I had my wish. My overseas orders. I was glad. But again, I had to say goodbye to many wonderful friends. Jake, what'll I do without you? Oh, don't be silly, Mart. You'll keep on doing your job and having fun, too. None of the other girls are leaving yet, and we'll meet again. I know we will. You're right, Betty. I guess I'm just jealous. I wish I were going with you. Well, soldier girl, good luck. So long. Ramsay Strickland featured in the role of Sergeant Betty Kropke in the proudly-we-held production When the Clock Strikes will return in just a moment for the second act. Here's a most important message for young women listening to this radio program. If you're between the ages of 18 and 34 and qualify, you can prove that this is a woman's world, too. How? By enlisting in the WAC, Women's Army Corps. By joining right now when you're needed most and when the opportunities for advancement are greatest, you'll be serving your country well, and yourself, too. You'll have opportunities for some of the finest specialized training in the world. Training which will serve you well should you elect to return to civilian life. You'll enjoy the same pay, allowances, care, vacations, and opportunities for travel as the men in the services. But most of all, you'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing you are serving your country when the need is urgent. So serve as American men serve. Do your part in keeping America strong. Visit your local United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station and enlist in the WAC, Women's Army Corps. Do it now. You are listening to Proudly We Hail. And now we present the second act of When the Clock Strikes. Although my overseas orders had finally come through, I still had a lot of work in front of me before I actually shipped. I was transferred to Fort Oglethorpe for what was called extended field training. This was Daytona Beach all over again, only more so. Again, my life became a scheduled roster, classes, drilling, conditioning to prepare us for assignment overseas. My next stop was Camp Stoneman, just outside of San Francisco. There, I received my overseas shots, and in a few days, we embarked. For 27 days, we steamed across the Pacific and finally put into port at Brisbane, Australia. I was on the other side of the world. Home was a long way off, but the war was very near. You know, Betty, we should be getting our assignments any day now. Oh, you really think so? I have a private wire direct to headquarters. Oh, Francis, I hope you're right. I like kangaroos and things, but enough is enough. Yeah, I know what you mean. Francis, you know, for the first time, I'm really beginning to feel now that, well, that maybe I'm a part of this war. Not a big part, but I'm not on the outside looking in anymore. Well, I just don't want to find myself right smack in the middle of things, that's all. Isn't that why you joined the way? Let's go see if we can find out any more about our assignments. I was finally shipped to Holandia, Dutch New Guinea, headquarters of all air forces in the Far East. In the many months that followed, I was transferred from place to place, each time closer and closer to the men who were fighting. We did a strange assortment of jobs, filled all sorts of positions. The old switchboard personnel was hard to find, and there was endless correspondence to be typed and filed. But it was all a part of the pattern of our lives, and we loved it. We were doing us. American women were at war in the wax. The war with Japan was drawing to a close, and I shall never forget the day I stood on the sidelines in Nichols Field, outside of Manila, when the envoys came to confer with General MacArthur on the terms of surrender. As they stepped out of that plane that had brought them, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. Against everywhere had bedded together and... died for this moment. Yes. I felt proud and grateful too. I had had a chance to play even a small part. And... Hey! Hey! What's up? I've been busy. Going. All of you else? Aren't you glad? We have been ready. Do you realize that every single wax contingent in the Far East has gone home but us? It's been so long. Boy, I wonder how I'll like it. My dear girl, you've been out in the hot sun too long. When I got back to the States, I suddenly felt that I had done my job and now I should not only return to my family in Chicago, but through the civilian life I'd left so long ago. Oh, sis, you look wonderful. Oh, well, I feel very strange, Gloria. I mean, you don't like that pretty dress? Not at all. Well, it's lovely, but it's been years since I've worn anything but a uniform. Well, I guess it's hard to understand how I feel unless you've been in the Army. I'd received my discharge from the wax and I was told that I had a period of 90 days in which to re-enlist. If I re-enlisted within that time, I could keep my rank and all my rights and benefits. Well, time drifted along and I was comfortable and happy with my family, but a little disturbed too. I didn't quite know what was bothering me. That is, I didn't know until the 90 days had almost passed. Betty, are you going to take me today? Where, Gloria? Well, you'll remember the parade. Oh, sure, the Army Day Parade. Okay, we'll go if you want to. Of course I want to. So do I, I guess. Let's go. They look terrific, just like you used to look in your uniform. I stood there with my sister and looked at the throat of the wax passing by. As the colored guard came by, I automatically snapped to attention and almost raised my right arm to salute. I could feel my eyes get red, my throat catch, and in the next split moment, I knew what had been troubling me. I knew I missed the Army. I knew there was only one thing I wanted. I wanted again to be part of that great team that was marching so proudly by. The next day, I re-enlisted. And my first assignment was Washington, D.C., the Pentagon and the War Department. For a couple of months I was so glad to be back in service I didn't care what I did or where I was assigned. But once I settled down, I felt the old urge to go overseas. But there were so many girls who wanted overseas service that it took request after request before I got my wish. But finally, my orders came through and I was sent to General MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo. Corporal Krupke, you're going to work in a section that handles billetting. Oh, what are you using for billets, Captain? Well, what hotels are available, office buildings, and whatever other structures have heat and light. My job was interesting and I was sent on temporary duty to many other places to do similar work. The Army of Occupation was well run and our relationship with the Japanese was very pleasant. I received my quota of leaves and flew to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paping, and many other interesting places. But suddenly, without warning, our pleasant, well-ordered routine was shattered. In June of 1950, war broke out in Korea. At ease, girls, at ease. I've called this formation to explain exactly what is expected of us. We have a big job ahead. A job that requires longer hours and exacting application. There will be fewer passes and very little leave. Now, it's going to be tough. But is there anyone here who thinks we can't do it? Good. Let's get to work. Sergeant Krupke, take over. Attention! What a day, Betty. I'm knocked out. Yeah, I guess we all are, Mary, but we're not done yet. What do you mean? Well, today a whole bunch of nurses were flown to Korea. We've got to go to the hospital and pitch in tonight. Who said so? Nobody. Nobody's ordered us to do it, but we're all going. Come. What do you think? And so the days went. The wax did take over. With the acute shortage of nurses, we did every conceivable kind of job. We wrote letters for the boys, fed and bathed them, changed the beds. We even worked at the rest camps, doing all we could to help the combat weary men. Sergeant Krupke? Oh, yes, sir. Sergeant, we've been all too busy to say many thank yous, but I want you to know how every one of us is grateful for what you wax have done. I know I speak for everyone here when I say that I only wish we had a few thousand more like you. That's the story I tell them, Mr. Chaffee. Well, I warned you before I started. It wasn't front page news. No, it's not front page news, Betty, but it's important news. Your story, the stories of the other women like you were serving their country today in the wax. Doing an important job. I'd like to see what I can do with it. If you don't mind. Mind? I'd be flattered. I'll all be in there. Your four sisters, the training you went through, skip, the overseas assignment, your re-enlistment, all the little threads which are part of the pattern. The pattern of the women's army corps. Oh, gee. Oh, you know, I should be getting up to the assembly all now, the bell's going to ring any minute. I'm glad I came down here, Betty. Glad I didn't have a cup of coffee. There's just one question. All right. You've been in the army about eight years now. You must be approaching the end of your current hitch. Yeah, that's right. In November, my enlistment will be up. Okay, here's a $64 question. You're going to re-enlist? What do you think, Mr. Jaffe? I think yes. Thank you, MC Strickland, for a very warm portrayal. Now, here's an important message to the young women of America. Here's a brief word about an opportunity you can't afford to miss. Why not get an early start towards a career with the job that gives you the feeling of being of real service to your country? You'll enjoy that feeling in the women's army corps. And you'll be doing a vital job that's a little different every day. In the women's army corps, you'll get the finest specialized training in the world. So don't let this opportunity pass by. Remember, today, young women between 18 and 34 can best serve their nation by working side-by-side with the men in the services. Visit your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force Recruiting Station and get all the details today. This has been another program on Proudly We Hail, presented transcribed in cooperation with the station by the United States Army and United States Air Force Recruiting Service. This program featured MC Strickland as Sergeant Betty Krupty. This is Kenneth Banghart speaking and inviting you to tune in the same station next week for another interesting story on Proudly We Hail.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZOYGo1RI3s", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Yes. Is it really? SARTAS! I KNOW SARTAS! Dear ex-sidiots, I'm Corbin. And I'm Desh and my left ear. Today, we're doing another Guess It actor, but this is a, from their childhood photo. Which I have been looking through just days worth of childhood pictures of actors from India. I'm unobsessed to stop. Saying you're looking at children's photos. I used to stop. So, I'm sure we'll do terrible. But, hopefully it'll be fun. I think there's like two photos per actor. Okay, two childhood pictures. So basically, each photo we can get a guess. And you get a point for each photo? Yes, well no. And because there's two photos, you get a point for each actor you guess right? If you can name the actor, two points. If you can guess where they're from, which it will be very difficult because it's a childhood photo. But like, it's worth their phone. Oh, he was in a movie. I thought you meant like where they were born. Like Kalki's from France. If you can guess their social security number, you win! Here we go. Not yet. Okay. It looks like her though, right? It's like a... No. It's probably a man. That one doesn't help. The other one was much better. Priyanka Chopra? I should have got it by the eyes. The first picture eyes. She looks familiar. I just couldn't place it. Yeah, which we should have because we just watched Devdots. But whatever. Actor number two. I think I actually know this. Yeah, I know. Dang it, dang it, dang it. I was just getting bad about that. I want to guess the film. Good. Well, if I guess the name, it cancels out your guess. Well, that's no. It can't do that because if I name the film, you'll know the name. I'm saying the films that he's in. He's in Under Under Hun. Well, that's who you think it is. That's who I think it is. No, that's no. He's in... Does it start with an A? Yeah. Yeah, that's him. What's his name? Ayushmen Korok. Yeah. I thought it was Ranbeer Kapoor. Oh no. Yeah, Ayushmen Korok. I need to remember his name. Tapsi Padu. Crap. Because Swarna was Tapsi Padu. Priyanka Chopra. You got one more here. Whoa, that... Whoa, what the heck? It was a girl. Isn't that... It was a girl. Is it the one... Is it the kid on the bottom there? Wow, I thought that was a girl and now it looks like it's a boy. I'm so confused. That's a girl. Shahrukh Khan. Yeah. Based on that face. I didn't know it's not him. Okay. Akshay Kumar. Really? Akshay? But wait, what's with... The first photo? No, no, the name. Rajahari Umatya Akshay. That's his real name. It's his full name. Oh really? That's freaking cool. Which kid was him? I'm guessing they were both. One. Ready? Here we go. Oh. Ah! I got it. You got it. I'll leave it on. This was a lie. Yeah. And I've seen pictures of her with her. That's her dad. Oh yeah, that's her. That's definitely her. Yeah. That looks like her. Ah! Okay. Here we go. Honor Khan. Yep. Is it really? I love the man. Oh, definitely. That's like PK right there. Just like Will Smith's ears. They're just... Yeah. Pronounce. Yeah. But that was definitely... No, I... Yeah, that makes me happy. I didn't know his full name was Mohammed Amir Hussein Khan. Full name. Out of guesses if it wasn't him. Oh, that's definitely Big B. Those eyes? In fact, born as... Inquilabs revastaba. Wow. All these people changed their names. I didn't realize that was such a big thing. Me too. It is. Like it is here with those stage names. I mean, it used to be at least. It's not as big anymore. It's like I used to be Lizzie Conano. Topeka? Yep. Good job. It's the eyes. It's the eyes. It's the eyes. I did. Well, it's good. Look at the eyes. And then he still has the same hair. The same hair thing? He has the exact same hair color. Wow, look at the abs. That's true. Born as Katrina. Torquat. Taquat. Taquat. That's true. I wouldn't have... I probably wouldn't have gone. Because it looked like such an older picture. I would have put somebody who was at least as old as you. Priyanka. Yeah. I saw it. Actually, I was like... No! I was distracted. Oh! Like, I see it. It's so flat. I got Priyanka and you didn't. I was drinking as you were saying. You got Alia? And I got Priyanka. Come on, high five. No, please. I should have got Priyanka. No, not at all. You don't get both of them. Because when Priyanka's happy, everybody's happy. Does that sound like Con? You can see the eyes now. Look at it. A little bit. Yeah. Right there. He has very olive eyes. Yeah, he does. Okay. Yep. Okay. Um... I know those eyes. I know those eyes. Doggone it. I know those eyes. Katrina Kapoor. The other picture. Is that SRK? Keep guessing until... I actually protest. I protest. Guys, I can see that. No. Yeah, now you can. Yeah, sure you can. Okay. Sure you can, Ashley. Okay. Now for the second one. Time to buzz in. Of course you can buzz in whenever. The next... Sakit. I guess the J is probably an H now. Probably an H. Why is that cheap? That's safe. I don't know. So what is that? 10, 7? Wait a minute. Let's see if there's another photo. Kid. It does a little bit. Mischief making there. The mischief making is what gave away... 9 to 10. The mischief maker is what gave away Shahid Kapoor. I thought you'd get that. 9 to 10. This is the last one. Oh, look at that suit. Wow. Good looking Shahid. This is the last one. Last one? Yep. And Sartaj, that's... I feel very happy and I stole Shahid from you. I was really shocked. You got rhythmic as you should. Neither. He's got reindeer. Again. I know. We blew it again with that. Again. I am so happy I got Sridevi. She was born as... Sri Amayangar Ayyapa. Really? I did not realize this many people changed their name. I know. Well, you finally won one, Rick. It's about freaking time. I think the two you got from me, both times I was drinking. And you can't blame Corbin for being more interested in their drink than the game. Well, good. Congrats, Rick. You finally won one. Oh, I feel validated. You can sleep at night now. That's true. Let us know what other kind of quizzing for you to do next. I hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't, suck it. Sorry.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZcddsIg1cA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This episode was recorded at the Spartan Races at Lake Tahoe (www.spartan.com) and the conversation covered a variety of topics including what it means to be a man, raising children, the role of women in men's evolution, masculinity and a lot more.

Mind pump, mind pump, with your hosts, Sal DeStefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. We're still here at the Spartan World Championship. We haven't even left yet. 2017, we've done a bajillion. We're camping out. This one, though, one of my favorite people that we met while we were out here. It's the first time I had a chance to meet Ryan from Order of Man podcast. Really fucking like this dude. He's a cool guy. He actually came to the house that we rented. We got this incredible house, beautiful views. There was a perfect room to record. We all sat down on the couch, had a little bit to drink, and had a great podcast, a great conversation. He's a very smart guy. His podcast is very interesting. They talk about optimizing health, wellness, fitness, but also motivation and lifestyle and all that kind of stuff. It's a really interesting podcast. Again, he's a great podcast host as well. Well, we did one with him and one with us. So these are actually two episodes that are going out, right? So we've got the episode. This is the one where we interview him. Right, you guys are listening to one of the episodes. If you really enjoyed this, make sure you go check out his podcast. We did another interview, completely different. So it's like the same interview. Different conversation entirely. Yeah, we did back. This guy, we had such a great time talking with him that we ran back another podcast. So lots of good information on both of them. It's awesome. You can find out more on the Order of Man podcast at orderofman.com and you can find him on Instagram at orderofman. Also, I do wanna talk about our Maps Super Bundle. We have a lot of new listeners. We've been doing a lot of outreach and we have a lot of new people listening and I get a lot of questions, which program should I enroll in? Which Maps program is right for me? We always recommend the best method of action is to get the Super Bundle. Now it's called a Super Bundle because it includes all of our core programs and it's organized in a way to where you follow one program and then you move to the next program and then you move to the next program and so on. It's almost a year of exercise programming. In other words, every month, every week is planned out for you. So you know what your workouts are like, you know how to progress. There's different forms of adaptation you'll be addressing. Everything from maximal strength to agility to endurance, to bodybuilding style, hypertrophy. I mean, pretty much everything is in this year's worth of exercise program. This way we know you're going through all of these progressions. We know what your plan is and so that way we have it all set out ahead of time. I mean, it's step by step and we have videos in there that show you the exercises, blueprints that tell you the workouts. If you follow this from beginning to end and you're consistent, you will see significant changes in your physique, in your strength with fat loss and muscle building and connections to your muscles. New skills acquired. New skills, better recruitment patterns, correction of muscle imbalances. It's the most comprehensive bundle or fitness program. Now you shave right away instead of purchasing them all individually. That's the other thing too is we've took, take them all, combine them and then cut the price way down. So that's the Maps Super Bundle. You can find it at mindpumpmedia.com. So without any further ado, here we are interviewing Ryan, the coast of Order of Man. Ryan is taking good care of his years, all these years. I don't know man, I feel like I'm going deaf actually. Oh really? Yeah. Oh no. How old are you right now? I'm 36. Oh yeah, this is what's happening to all of us. We're all fucked. When I joined the military actually, I joined and I did a, I had to do like the audio test where they, you know, I didn't hear the sound whatever ear it's on and I was at basic training, they did this and the drill sergeant came and he got in my face. He's like, you little effort, you're lying like, cause he, I didn't pass the test initially. Oh really? So I was like, you do it again. You pass it this time. I'm like, dude, I really couldn't hear the beeps. And so I had to take it again and I passed the second time. Oh shit. And he's like, see, I knew you were lying. Cause he didn't think I wanted to be there or something. So he thought I was trying to bail out. Trying to get out of there. Like music when you're a kid or like were you in a band or anything? How do you think? No, I don't, I don't know what it is. I just don't know if it's bad ears or what. Yeah. That is kind of strange. I worry about that though. You know, jammed hard. I always like, yeah. I mean, maybe, but I don't, I don't think it was anything to do with that. I always like to ask my, my fellow podcasters, what, what got you into podcast? Like why did you even get into that medium? Like there's not a lot of us. Yeah. When, when, when did you see it? Why did you do it? What, what, what made you head that direction? So I, I was telling these guys, my background is, is financial planning. And I was looking at a new way of doing things. Cause I've seen all these guys do it one way. And frankly, I wasn't having any success with my financial planning practice. It was miserable. I just, I almost washed out. I'm like, man, I gotta do, I gotta do this a different way. And I had been listening to podcasts. And so I thought, maybe I can do that. I said, and then I thought to myself, there's nobody in the right mind who's going to listen to what I have to say through a podcast and then become a client of mine. Right. For, for whatever reason I did anyways. So I started a podcast, I called it wealth anatomy. And we focused on financial advice, financial information, financial planning for healthcare professionals. So doctors, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians. And I remember the first guy that called me, it was a pediatric physician out of Pennsylvania, if I remember. And he brought me on as, It's a lot of peace. Yeah. Say that, say that five times fast, right? Whoa. And yeah, so I brought him on as a client. And that's when I knew I'm like, man, this is pretty cool. So I did about 20, 25 episodes there. And I realized that I love the medium of podcasting. I just didn't want to continue to have that conversation. This was at what time? Like how many years ago? This was early 2015. So I started about the same time you guys did. You started, what? January you said? January 2015? Yeah. So I probably started podcasting around the same time. And then I started the new business now that will run a now order man in March of 2015. Now when you went into it, were you thinking like you saw the direction like that podcasting was taking off? Or do you thought this is just a cool place where I could talk and... That's it. Oh wow. I had no idea. Like I didn't have any foresight that oh, this is the direction and this is the path and I'm going to make money. Even when I started this business, I just wanted to have some good conversations about masculinity and talk with some cool people. And that's what I did. And it took off quickly. And I realized pretty quickly, I'm like, oh, I stumbled onto something here. Man, frankly, that's all it was. I stumbled onto something. It'd be nice to say like I planned it all out. But I didn't. Now you say you talk a lot about things like masculinity and what it means to be a man or whatever. That seems to be kind of a hot topic these days. Yeah, for sure. Why do you think that is? Like what's your opinion on that? Because I feel like, you know, had you talked about that. Well, tell them. We did an episode early on. One of our first episodes that really took off was the decline of the modern male. Yeah, yeah. I think that's the reason. I think the timing is right. And I said stumble upon it. I mean, truly stumbled upon it. I stumbled into a topic that was relevant to me. And we can maybe talk about why it's relevant to me later or whatever. I think I entered the market at the right time. But I think there's a lot of guys who are growing up without dads. For example, I don't know if you're guys a situation, but I grew up without a permanent father figure in my life. I know there's a lot of guys dealing with that. I went through a separation near divorce. I know a ton of guys are dealing with that. I know there's a ton of confusion. You get into gender confusion and sexuality and attractiveness and all that kind of stuff. There's a lot of confusion about what it even means to be a man and masculinity. And so I just think it's a good time. People are confused. People want to maybe return some of that roots of masculinity. So let's go there. What led you there? You started to say that. Let's talk now about that. What sent you that direction and why you? Yeah, so I mean, we could rewind till the time I was three. My dad was out of the picture. I had two step dads coming to my life. Both of them were, I'll just say, less than stellar examples of what it meant to be a man. One was an alcoholic who's never abusive, but just not present. I remember doing some stuff. We did like a Pinewood Derby cars together. In fact, I still have those Pinewood Derby cars. He would take us to Sprint car races. And so there was moments where I'm like, oh, this is cool. This is what it's supposed to be. But that didn't work out. And I had another stepfather coming to my life and he was charismatic and successful as a business owner, but he used his talents and his skills and abilities to push people down rather than lift people up. And so he was verbally and emotionally abusive. So I never really had a great role model. I mean, I learned a lot through, we talked a little bit about football and sports. I wrestled, I played baseball, I played football. So fortunately, I had some really good coaches, coaches that I stay in contact with almost 20 years later. Oh, wow. Yeah, so that's kind of cool. Now, did you, so you have a similar childhood upbringing. Did that force you to kind of rise above and become a man early on and young? Or did you think that suppressed it and then later on you kind of did? I think it was more of that because the biggest thing a lot of people ask me, like just in this journey, even over the past two and a half years, what's changed for me? And it's this level of confidence. And I never had that confidence growing up. And I always ask, you know, if I would have had a permanent father figure, somebody in my life who could teach me what it actually means to be a man, I wonder what that would do to my level of confidence. And so that was what I really struggled with. As a kid, I struggled with confidence. I was awkward, I was uncomfortable, I was really introverted. I didn't want to put myself out there or take any risks. And so yeah, I did suppress that quite a bit. And it's only in the last maybe handful of years, five, six years where I feel like, I feel like, I don't know, it's kind of cheesy, but like, I'm figuring out who I am, if you will. You feel like yourself. Yeah, I mean. It's an interesting time too, when we talk about what it means to be a man because relatively recently, it's almost been demonized. Anything that has to do with being a man or male or masculine has been demonized to the point where there's a lot of question. What does it mean? I mean, people now are talking about how being chivalrous, excuse me, is a form of sexism. Opening someone's door or helping someone lift something or whatever is sexist or any sign of male, just maleness is bad. And then on top of that, you have interesting statistics showing testosterone levels declining. This has now been happening for the last, I don't know, four or five decades. And like you said, this explosion of children being raised without fathers. And if you look at all cultures, all especially ancient cultures, there's been this rite of passage that men or boys have gone through to become men and they've been kind of eliminated out of society where we kind of remain adolescents for such a long time. For sure. So it's very interesting. What does that mean then? What does it mean to be a man today? It's almost like you can't say it without offending anybody. I know, people get upset. And that's actually a question. I asked that question out of every single one of my guests and everybody has a different answer. But what I found is that through that question, it usually translates into one of three areas. And in my mind, a man is a protector, he's a provider and he's a presider. So he protects himself. He protects his loved ones, those who cannot protect themselves. That's his responsibility. He provides, not just financially. I know the dynamics for family have changed, right? A lot of guys are staying at home. Women are entering the workforce. So it's not just financial provision, but it's mental and emotional and spiritual provision as well. And then preside leadership. I mean, look around from businesses to national politics, the lack of male leadership, noble leadership is significantly declining in my mind and from my perspective. And so that's what it means to be a man. The other part of this is a man is also accountable and responsible for himself and those he has an obligation for. You know, I look at my boys, I've got three boys and a little girl and my boys are boys. And part of the reason they're boys is because they don't have any accountability really, right? They don't have any responsibility. They got to clean up after the dog or do the dishes or whatever it is we have them do around the house. If they get into trouble at school, ultimately falls upon me and my wife. So they don't have any responsibility or accountability. And at that point where they start to become accountable or responsible for themselves is where that transition of masculinity, manliness. What are those conversations look like? What do those look like when you're, I mean, are you having those now with your boys already? Absolutely, absolutely. You talked about rite of passage, for example. So my oldest son, he's nine years old. When he turned eight, we actually went on a little mini rite of passage. So what we did is we went on a camp out and he planned the entire camp out from the packing list to what we were gonna do to where we were gonna go, to what we needed, to the food, everything. He planned it all out. And what I did is I gave him a knife, a little multi-tool knife. And I said, this is for you. This is a gift for you. This is your birthday gift but you're gonna use this on our camp out. And so we did different tasks. We had to set up a fire and we did some firearm safety and we did some different things. Together, we did some geocaching. I don't know if you guys have ever done that. That's kind of cool. We did some hiking. What is that? Geocaching is basically you have grids or coordinates that you'll plug into your phone and so you'll go from place to place. You go find them on the site. You find them. Yeah, it's like a scavenger. Yeah, a lot like that, except for like the real version of it. And they'll make it really hard. Like certain obstacles you have to get through and get to the top. It's pretty cool. And then what you do is when you find it, you'll usually take something out of there, leave a note that you were there and then put something in the box. Is that an app or something? Yeah, I mean, there's all kinds of different programs and apps that are available based on where you are. So we did some of that. And then so he went through this series and what I did is I talked to him about what I just told you guys, protect, provide, preside. And what I did is I actually bought some lion figurines. So I bought a little lion cub and then a male lion. And I pulled out the lion cub and I said, this is you right now. And so I showed him and I said, this is where you are in life. This is what you're doing. And this is what you're striving to become. And I showed him the lion. And I said, in order for you, the cub to be here, you need to understand, protect, provide, preside. So we went through this whole thing at the fire, did a fireside with him. And then at the end, since he did all of that, he earned his first 22 rifle. So I got him a little 22 rifle that he shot and he loves and the best part about it for me was a couple of days later, he came up to me and he said, dad, can I take these figurines to school? I'm like, yeah, you want to do show and tell them? He's like, yeah, I want to talk to him about the three P's of masculinity. And I'm like, yeah, man, that's sunk in. So this isn't a one time thing for us though. I've got him planned every two years. We're just going to start doing these things. So my next son, he's six years old in two years. We'll do something very similar. And so every two years we'll continue to do this. And yeah, I just think it's great that you're doing that. Cause it is very interesting considering the traditional roles that men have played in society. And some people argue the reason why we evolved men in the first place, those reasons don't necessarily exist anymore, like life is pretty safe. You don't need a guy to protect you from people killing you or stealing from you. Wars are, they're waged now with much more technology. So that's a little different, but that's still male dominated. Earning potential and stuff like that, women get jobs. So it's almost like men feel kind of lost. Like, what do I do? You know, who am I, what does it mean? And I think, you know, those roles, you're right. I think those looked like they have gone away. I don't think they've gone away as much as they've changed because if you look at natural disasters or you look at active shooter type situations, the need for a protector, a man who is capable, who has situational awareness, who has the training and the skills and the tools available to be able to protect in a natural disaster or some catastrophic crime that they might experience is important. And that's why I talk about, in the other side, you talk about provision. You're right. Women are entering the workforce. So it's not just that financial provision. And this is where we start talking about more of a, I think maybe more of a deeper man, if you will. Brett McKay with Art of Manliness. So you guys familiar with his work? One of the things he talks about is he says, there's a distinction between masculinity and manliness. So masculinity are the raw virtues that we generally would think of when it comes to being a man. So aggression, dominance, competitiveness, violence, all these things. Those aren't necessarily bad, but when they go unchecked, they create problems. It's the extreme form, which by the way, the extreme form of the feminist side or women's side can also have some pretty bad effects. Absolutely. And anything, take health. I mean, something that I don't think anybody would argue is a bad thing for you, going to the gym, eating right, working out. We talk about this all the time. It can be taken overboard, right? It can be taken to the extreme. More often than not. So I shared on our show a lot, the whole process of going through competing with immense physique. You would think that, because you're looking at some of the fittest people in the world when you look at the IFBB, as far as all the professional level, bikini, body, those that. But actually when you actually really dive in, they are some of the most unhealthy people. And not just from a physical and what they're doing with their habits, their behaviors, their relationship with themselves. Like there's a lot of bad stuff going on within it and you don't realize it. So, and a lot of it's rooted through insecurities that's driven them, that's given them that much drive to compete at that level. What's interesting is that some people will say that women actually drive how many evolve in two different ways. Testosterone levels, although they can be genetic, there's definitely a genetic component. There are things that can happen that can affect your testosterone levels almost instantly, besides things that you do to your physical body. For example, if you win a game against someone, you'll see a spike in testosterone. If you're in a room with other alpha males, there's another female present, you'll see testosterone tend to spike. And they've shown in many studies that women will prefer men with more masculine features or these visible signs of testosterone around times of natural disaster or when they feel like things. And then without knowing, this are the things that they tend to desire more. Same thing with birth control. Here's an interesting one. When women are on birth control, they desire men with less signs of masculinity versus when they're off. And then, especially when they're ovulating, the more attracted to these signs of testosterone. And now if we consider birth control has been on the market for how many decades, we may be breeding out these masculine men and creating lower and lower testosterone. It may be one of the factors that's- Yeah, you bring up a really good point. I mean, think about this hurricane that they just dealt with in Houston, for example. Did you see anybody complaining about masculinity? At that point? Because there was hundreds, if not thousands of men who were going down, serving, volunteering, giving time, energy, money, resources, doing what I believe men should do. Nobody complains about it then. It's when things are going smooth that it's like, oh man, I don't know. Yeah, exactly. I had a guy who, I was at a conference. I don't remember what conference it was. And he said, man, how do I develop testosterone? I'm like, you do manly things. Like you go work out or you go shoot and you eat meat and you compete and you have sex. Like you do manly things. That's what boosts testosterone. And I think a lot of that is being stripped away from society. That's funny. It's actually very simplistic to think of it that way. But it's so true. All those things will lead to that. We talk to that indirectly on the show all the time. Yeah, it's interesting where things tend to are going. And I know we're constantly told about, we're constantly told how bad the patriarchy is and how bad men have done things. And there's definitely been some bad sides, but there's some trends now that are emerging that we're gonna see more in the coming decades that are gonna show the opposite. For example, women graduate college at much higher rates now than men do. Boys do worse in school. Schools are designed to do better for girls to do better. Absolutely. There's definitely a, and of course the individual variance is pretty big. So I wanna be clear, like you can have general masculine traits, general feminine traits, but within women and within men, there are these variances where you'll have some men that are far more feminine than some women and vice versa. But generally speaking, boys learn differently than girls do and schools have been designed around girls to the point where boys are medicated at much, much higher levels or higher rates to fit into this mold. So like ADD, ADHD, so much higher rates among boys. And it wasn't that long ago, they were just called hyperactive or rambunctious. I can't go outside and fucking throw rocks and kick cans and do shit, right? I mean, I look at my boys. I get in trouble for making a stick gun or doing something, right? I remember when I was little, I remember climbing, I couldn't have been more than seven, eight years old climbing up on my roof. And I put a napkin somehow on a GI Joe and I stood up there with my buddy and we were throwing GI Joe's with napkins off the roof. Yeah, and my mom would kick me outside and she would say, don't come in until night. And she would literally lock the door and I came in when she called me for dinner. We used to, that's what we were doing. We had a neighborhood where we lived in this big like kind of area where it was like a, all your, what do you call it, houses that are all the same, right? Yeah, like a townhouse. Townhouse, yeah, like everyone's all the same homes and there's a local park. And it was literally like a good half mile from our house, just enough to where when my dad wanted us to come back in the house, I could hear his whistle from over there. And that was the call that you had to come back. But we would literally be set, we'd set off and you say all the way until sun come down and we would all as kids push those limits, right? You know, we know we're supposed to be home before it's dark, but I can still see a little bit of light. You can hear dad whistle. I didn't hear you dad. Yeah, yeah. We still walk home from school, man. And like there was like rattlesnakes and there's all kinds of shit on the way home. Like I'm not even joking. But you know what's really interesting is I think a lot of that has been conditioned out of boys because I look at my boys and I think naturally the natural inclination is to go outside, pick up rocks, burn ants with a magnifying glass and figure stuff out, roll around in the dirt. That's what boys naturally do. But I think we conditioned them. You talk about that Dr. Leonard Sacks. Have you heard of him? He's got some great material and information on this. He's written two books, more than two, but the two that really are relevant to this discussion are Why Gender Matters and Boys Adrift. And both of them are really good books and very well researched and get into why school systems are set up this way and it's stacked against young men. And of course that's gonna create problems down the road when these young men get to 18, 19, 20 years old and now we ask them to go get a job and now we ask them to lead and now we ask them to go to battle and now we ask them to do all these things that men should be doing and yet they haven't been trained to be able to do these things. No, and you know one of the things that I can see now that's gonna be I think a detriment to, or is a detriment to everybody but in particular to boys is the accessibility of pornography. We've talked about this several times in our podcast but if you look at rates of things like erectile dysfunction and men going to the doctor to get prescriptions for those types of things, the fastest growing segment of the population that requires that or wants that is men in their 20s. It's exploding. This was non-existent not that long ago and it's directly the result of this ease of accessibility to pornography which also of course changes now how men go out and court women and you know wanna do all that stuff. And how anonymous it can be too, right? Like you can hide behind your computer screen and nobody's gonna catch you and there's no accountability for it. How do you manage that as a dad right now? I always like talking to, because I always get these guys to talk about their parenting because I think it's such a fascinating time right now as a parent or challenging time I should say for a parent with all these tools of iPads and all the gaming systems and the ability to stream everything to their phone like do you set rules with your boys on how long they can be on the phone or do things like that? Like how does that work? Yeah, I mean rules are important and you have those we've got a computer but it's in the family room, you know so we've got things like that set up but the other side of it that I don't think a lot of people are talking about is like talk with your kids. Like sex isn't bad. You know boobs aren't bad. Like we're attracted to these things. Why are we attracted to these things? Because biologically that's kind of how we work. And so I have conversations with my boys maybe not as explicit as I could get with you guys but we have conversations. My oldest son, nine years old, I told you guys that we've already had kind of the birds and the bees talk, right? Part one, my six year old, my wife and I were talking and she's like, I think you need to have the conversation with Eli a little bit about the birds and bees. I'm like, oh man, and it's never fun, right? Which is why most people don't do it until it's too late and they let their boys learn from their buddies or from a magazine or whatever or a website. Which is how we all learn. Right, right. And I think you just, man, imagine if we learned in a more healthy environment. Like it's okay that you're attracted to women. It's okay that when you're around them that, you know like they smell good, they smell intoxicating or that they have a nice figure that you're attracted to. That's okay. Things are happening. You're feeling it, right? It's okay. So I think coupled with some, of course, some systems and, you know, in place at your household, I think that's fine with me. Now you have four, you have two boys, two girls. Three boys, one girl. Oh, three boys, one girl. Yeah. She's the youngest? No, she's the third. Okay. Yeah, so I've got, so she's four and then my youngest is almost two. Now are you seeing what a difference it's going to be to raise her in comparison yet or is it, she's still pretty young? Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. I mean, it's with kids, they all have their own personality and there's not a thing you can do about it. My oldest is timid and he's passive and he's really sensitive. He's in tune with other people. He knows when people are off, he loves animals and my second, what was funny? My oldest got in a fight at school or a little pushing match or something and he was kind of heartbroken. He was sitting on the steps and he's a big kid and my second son, he's six, he comes up to him. Little guy, little scrawny, kind of a runt but just a fireball of like energy. He's like, you want me to punch him in the face for you? And I'm like, man, I raise these boys the same. We do the same activities. We have the same conversations and yet every single one of my children even down to the two-year-old who can't really even say much, I know he's got a new personality, a different personality, so it's crazy. Yeah, I think the suppression of all that just leads to this hyper-masculinity, which is false, you know what I mean? The whole expression of aggression and anger and it comes out and it's because we suppress the natural things and we don't maintain the balance. So I think that's a bad thing. I just did an interview, it was yesterday, an interview with Louis Howes and he's got a new book coming out called The Mask of Masculinity. And as I read this book, it challenged me, man. It challenged me, like I caught myself saying, this isn't true, this isn't right, no, Louis doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm like, well, I'm having him on the show so I gotta continue to read the book and research. And as I read it, I'm like, man, maybe this is my own mask coming out. And so he talks about nine different masks. Yeah, I mean, he talks about these nine different masks from the material mask to the athletic mask to the sexual mask and nine different masks that we as men tend to put on to either overcompensate or hide the way that we truly feel and think about things. That makes perfect sense. Oh, for sure. Yeah, it makes perfect sense that you would do that. I think that's true for anybody, though, not just man and woman. Exactly, yeah. But I think you're gonna see more and more of that as society continues to make being a guy or being a man such a bad thing to the point where even saying the words be a man is now frowned upon. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So was this like your main, was this your motivation to really address these types of things or was it other, you know? You know, the reason I started it and it's gone down a rabbit hole and it's been a good one for sure is that I went through a separation with my wife and we got an argument one evening. I can't remember what the argument was about, but I remember saying to her, I don't even want to be married anymore. And she agreed with me and the next morning she took, she left with my six month old son. Oh, shit. Dude, it was brutal. How long, how many years ago? This was eight years ago. So yeah, because my oldest is nine now. So eight, eight and a half years ago. And darkest time in my life, man. Darkest time in my life. But I came to a realization that the marriage might be over. This was like two and a half, three months into our separation. And for the first time I recognized, you know, maybe I had more to do with this than I initially thought. You know, I'd pawn it all like, how could you do this? Why would you be in a bitch? Why would you do all this stuff? Why, how could you take my kid away from me? Those are the things I told myself. And I came to that realization that, now maybe I've got something to do with this. And I realized at that point that our marriage might be over for the first time, which I didn't want that to be the case, but it was the most liberating moment, I think potentially of my life. And the reason I say that is because for the first time in my life, because I owned it, I recognized it, I could take the power back that I had given away to her, that I had given away to society, that I had given away to the economy and all the other factors that I was blaming for my circumstances. And so at that point, I realized it and made the decision, I'm just gonna go to work on myself and let the chips fall where they may. And so I went on this journey and long story short, we ended up salvaging our marriage and you know, I can do everything that I wanna do on my own without her. She can do everything that she wants and to do in her life without me. And that fact makes us stronger together. You gotta love that. For sure. When Katrina and I have been together for six and a half years, I remember one of the first things she ever said to me is that I want you, I don't need you. Yes. And I used to love that though. I love having a woman that truly feels that way. It's an amazing feeling to feel that she doesn't rely on me or need me. Together, we are better. And without each other, we'd be fine. But together, we're that much better. And I mean, how sick, like how fast do you get sick of that? You know, that's kind of fun. You got this girl that likes you and it needs you around. It feels good for a little while and it's like, oh, this is boring. That's all ego driven. You just wanna feed that ego or those insecurities. Well, taking on that responsibility and understanding that you play a role in so much of what you experience in your life and the shit that goes wrong, it sucks because you have to accept it, which means, oh shit, I played a big role in that, but it's fucking awesome. It is. Because now you're empowered. Right. And I talk about this with clients all the time when it comes to fitness. It's like, you got here because, not because you're genetics, not because of circumstances that were out of your control. You got here because of the choices that you made, but this is a good thing because now you know that you can change this yourself, but it's so hard for people to accept responsibility because it's so easy. It feels so good in the short term to be a victim. And it really does. It really does feel good for a short period of time to be like, it's not my fault. I'm a victim right now. Shit sucks because of somebody else. You know, it's so much easier. But when you say to yourself, okay, I just got divorced about, God's been about two years now, maybe a year and a half. And, you know, same thing going, coming down, I was married for 15 years. And a lot of, I thought most of it was her, you know? Definitely most of it was her, but I was forced to look at myself and realize the roles that I played in it. And you're right. It's, at first it sucks, but then it's amazing. Right. Because now I can see, okay, what can I change and how can it become a better human being? If you want to grow, you have to take responsibility. I tell people it's always you, you know? It's always you. It's never the other. Even when it's the other person, I still allowed myself to get into that circumstance, right? I allowed myself to get in that situation. So what is it that I did to allow that to happen to myself? No matter how bad it seems like it's got to be the other person, I think when you learn to take that kind of ownership, then true growth happens every time. Other words, otherwise you're always blaming others or thinking, oh yeah, it won't happen that way or I won't put myself in that situation. No, what did I do in this situation that made, that get this outcome, you know? Right. I just did a podcast with a pursuit podcast in an interview and he was out, he was a big fan of the show. He listens a lot and he says, you know, you talk a lot about that, you know, did you have, do you have like some tips or tools to give to people to get there? He says, because I think very, I think everybody wants to be at that level but don't know how to do that. And I said, well, I remember starting off like this and I remember at the end of the day, I would look back at like everything that happened in that day and the things that got me excited, the things that got me frustrated, all the emotional changes, like all of us right now in this room, we have kind of like an even kill personnel. It's whatever our personnel, whether you're a high energy person or even kill, whatever, that's like, that's your homeostasis, right? Your baseline. Your baseline, right? And then things happen to us throughout the day, good and bad that caused this change. And when I learned how to, at the end of the day to go back and reflect on all those things and then know that any time that I was upset, angry, frustrated to dive deeper into that and unpack it. And then it always led to an insecurity of my own. If I truly could have good perspective, pull myself out of it and go, okay, that made me angry. Well, why did it make me angry or it got me frustrated? Why did it make me frustrated? And then when I started looking deep, well, not because that person said that or did that, it's because I get offended by that. Why do I get frustrated? I get a nerve on that. Why does that even bother me? And when you learn to look at every situation like that and I think I started by doing it as a thing before I went to bed and then over years, I've trained myself to do that real time while you're talking and catching yourself in those moments of like, ooh, that. What is that? What is that feeling? Yeah, what is that? I think there's, so there's two things. The one that I've used that's been helpful for me is margin. Like if you look at most people in their life, they wake up with just enough time to maybe grab a quick bite, get a shower, head straight into the office. They have an hour, maybe even two hour commute, right? They're wasting time listening to music on the commute. They get into work. They've got a stack of paperwork up to their eyeballs. They get through that. They can't take a break because they gotta get through that. They punch out the clock, they get home. They say hi, they kiss the wife. They've got some chores or whatever they do. They go to bed and they do the same thing over and over again. It's like, yeah, I mean, you can't get to that level if you don't create any space and margin in your life. So find some time, find a couple minutes to reflect so that you can think to yourself, man, I'm frustrated right now. Like you said, why am I frustrated? But that requires margin. No, it's true. And then the second side of that is an after-action review, which you alluded to as well. This is like a military term. A lot of first responders understand this, but this is something that I've learned to do after every day, every engagement, after every encounter, conversation, project. It's five simple questions that I've asked myself. So number one, what did I accomplish? What did I get done today that I set out to do? Number two, what did I not get done? Number three, what did I do really well? Like where did I thrive? What characteristics and skills and abilities and things that I do that went really well? Number four, where did I fall behind? Like where did I struggle? What things that I did not get accomplished in the way I would have liked to have gotten and then accomplished? And then step number five, what will I do better tomorrow? Like imagine if you just asked yourself those five questions after this podcast even. Right. What did I get done? What didn't I get done? Next podcast I do, what I'm gonna do better. Like that's the way that you improve. I think the important part of that too is to not identify with what you didn't do and what you did do. And what I mean by that is if you do that at the end of the day and you judge it and you say, oh, shit, I didn't do that. I'm a loser or- Yeah, great point. Oh, I did that. I'm a champion. I'm the best. When you start to do that, then you start to create bad behaviors. No, you treat it like- And you identify with these things. Once you identify with things, that's where the ego steps in and that can become a problem. It's no different than when I'm coaching someone through nutrition and I'm telling them the track and I'm working them towards intuitive eating and I tell them, listen, don't judge some of the decisions you made. You can be objective about them and look at them, but when you start to judge yourself, you create a layer on top of what you've done. So you've eaten something bad. That wasn't good for you, it didn't make you feel good. But now you feel guilty on top of it. Now you're angry that you're guilty and you're creating all these different layers. So it's important at the end of the day to make those, to understand those things, but also don't identify with them. Those aren't the things, that's not who you are. You're not your thoughts, you're not the things that you do. You're the thing that is seeing this all, the observer. And when you can do that, then you can move forward with any problem. I learned, this was a big learning lesson for me, just learning how to not be angry at people. When someone did something wrong to me, I had this problem where I would just hold on to it. I never forgot, like I never forgot what you would do to me and you're never gonna do that again or whatever. And I realized that forgiving someone wasn't about forgiving them, it was about me not feeling it anymore. Like why am I, why am I owning this? You're giving your power away. Yeah, but why am I, obviously it's because my ego likes this, it likes to feel angry and shitty. It's as hard as that is to believe it's true, otherwise we wouldn't do it. So just let it go and all of a sudden you're free. And living your life this way is incredible, man, the power that it gives you, it's not a feeling of power as much as it's a feeling of peace. Yeah, for sure. I remember, there's one exercise that somebody told me and they said, I can't remember who it was, but they said, be careful of the I ams, the co-I am. Like if you do something, I am dumb, right? Now you're not dumb, you may have done something dumb, but that doesn't mean you're dumb. Now you correct the behavior and I love the word that you use, objective. It's just an objective look at what's going on so that you can make the best decision moving forward. Well, I am as you identifying with it, right? You say I am, now you identify with it. You own it, yeah. Yeah, you don't want to say that shit. Well, in our field of fitness, people really say all the time, I am fat. Yep. You are not your fat, your body has fat. Has fat, yes. You are something else completely, you are not your fat. And when you can separate the two, then you can move forward and solve some of these problems that plague us. Cause if you really think about it, if you really break it down to the issues that we tend to suffer throughout life and even if you go big and we get all esoteric and we look at humanity as a whole, a lot of our problems are really simple. They're not, I'm not saying they're easy, but they're kind of simple, right? You talk about, you know, the issue of, you know, progressing society forward so we can feed people or whatever. Like if everybody just worked together, that would happen. Sounds pretty simple, right? It's not though, cause people have their agendas and their egos and whatever. And their baggage. And their baggage. You talk about doing better at work. I want to succeed at work. Well, you know the steps, you know what to do, but you make it so fucking complicated on yourself. It's actually quite simple or I want to lose weight. Here's the formula. Why can't I lose weight? Why do you think we are that way as a whole? Why do you think for the most part that, cause that's the majority? I think, so I think I have an answer to that. I think that we have been lying to ourselves for so long and coming up with the excuses that we talk about that we actually believe they're true. Like we've been conditioned since we're little, right? Like, and I'm sure I do this to my kids in some capacity. I can't think of a way I do it right off hand, but I'm sure that I've told my kids something that's just going to be programmed into their mind and now they're going to start believing that lie or that excuse and they're going to tell themselves that for 10 years, for 20 years, for 30 years and then somebody comes along and says, no, no, no, that's not right. No, what do you mean? Like it wrecks their universe or they just can't overcome it because that reality is ingrained and indoctrinated them. It is part of the blessing of language. It is part of the blessing. It's actually the curse part of being human, of being able to think in language, of being able to write and read and we end up because of that. We think we become our thoughts is what ends up happening. We're never quiet. That voice in your head is not you. That's a voice that you're observing and listening to and this is part of meditation. This is part of mindfulness. In fact, most major religions, most major spiritual practices, we'll talk about this in one way or another, but I really think it's our, I mean, even if you look into Christianity and talk about how Adam bites the apple, it's almost like the discovery of the ego. Like, oh, I know things now. Right, consciousness almost. That's exactly what it is. And now you've got the curse of that. Now you've got the curse of living in places that don't exist like the future, like the past, neither of which actually exists. There's only now. I think we're always just trying to define who we are consciously or subconsciously. And so, rather than just being. Rather than just experiencing. So this is like half of what I'm always trying to, I catch myself doing this all the time. I'm trying to define myself. Like, is this me? Is this me? I'm getting, you know, like a confirmation with that, with other people and I'm kind of bringing that in. Right. To help me sort of. The validation. Figure this out, the validation. And I'm going on in these experiences. Is this me? You know, am I tough? Am I funny? And am I cool? And you know, am I this not? It's really tough to be able to kind of associate yourself from that mentality. You're a very self-aware guy. What do you see? What insecurities do you see still surfacing from like that are rooted all the way back? Like. For me personally. Yeah, personally. Yeah, I mean, I, well, you guys can see I have this big beard, right? And so I was, I was talking to my wife about this. It's a luxurious. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. It's kind of like Aslan. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Yeah, so my wife and I were talking about this and we were talking about my childhood and, and I don't know how we got into it, but she's like, yeah, sometimes I think you overcompensate. You know what I mean? Like the masculinity stuff. Cause I didn't have that growing up. So I'm now, now I got my boots on and I got my beard and I drive my truck and I run order of man. I have tons of flannels bro. Yeah. And I've got them too, dude. I've got them packed too. And so I think there is even, even to my degree, I think, yeah, I think I do overcompensate sometimes for that. Like trying to like, what am I doing? Like making up lost time or like, what is it that I'm doing? So there's that. And then as I was reading that book, I was telling you about the mask of masculinity. I kind of feel like I've fallen to the Stoic mask. And the Stoic mask is the mask that says, you have to keep your calm. You have to keep composure. You have to keep like a, like your head about you. Even when you're feeling something or you're disappointed or you're sad or you're frustrated, I can't, I can't show people that stuff. Like I'm the man, not a man. Like I'm the man cards. Right. And so I keep that stuff close to me. Even with my wife. I mean, she'll tell you like the connections that I have with other people. I don't have a lot of deep connections with people. And I wonder if it's just because like I'm, like I gotta keep it right here. It doesn't feel, maybe it doesn't feel familiar or comfortable to you. Do you have issues hugging and kissing your sons? No, that's never been an issue. I mean, I love you giving them hugs. Last night as, as I was getting done with football practice with my son, I just wanted to know, I appreciate him playing hard. And so we were walking down the driveway and I grabbed him and I just put my arm around him. I wouldn't guess that. I wouldn't guess that from his, from him seeing it. I wouldn't, I wouldn't guess that, but it tends to be that that sometimes can happen, especially if you're raised without a father figure. Oh yeah. But I think that's what you also, that normally will make you try. You're going to be that much better. It could, yeah. It could go different ways, right? Like it could be like, hey, I'm not, I don't want anything to do with that. Or again, overcompensating it or, you know, whatever. But I feel like, I feel like we, we have an affection there that's appropriate between me and my boys and my wife and daughter. I would think, I would think he's more like you, where you're both probably really good ass dads, but you, you probably overcome it and you worry and stress about that because of that reason for you. It could be, yeah. But yours is for different because you have your, you had a, you have a different relationship with your dad growing up. Yeah, no, I had a great relationship. But you, I think you are way hard on yourself for what kind of father that you are. Absolutely. My, so I, I grew up with the insecurity of not being strong enough, big enough, you know, tough enough or whatever. I grew up in a, you know, kind of an old school, Sicilian family and the, there's, it's very masculine and very feminine at the same time. The bomb runs the household, but the dad is the, you know, he's the dude that, you know, calls the shots and, and, and there's very, you know, specific roles. And so I didn't feel, you know, I was a skinny kid and I lifted weights to get bigger and did a lot of stuff. And I really came to terms with that years ago to the point now where I'm extremely confident with those displays of masculinity. And it doesn't bother me at all anymore. Those are things I've actually, but now I'm dealing with new insecurities. And here's what's interesting about that is you're going to, if you are a person that's growth oriented and self aware and you work towards those things, what you will end up, what's going to happen is you're going to end up dealing with one and then that's going to be solved. And then another one tends to pop up. Yeah, definitely. And it's just the way life works. And more recently, just through my divorce, it was just am I being a good father? I'm guilty for with my children with this. Am I, you know, is this, how is this going to affect them, you know, growing up? And, you know, anytime something happens with my kids, if they wake up in the middle of the night now, I'm thinking, oh, it's because of the divorce, even though it may be just a bad dream. So, but I'm, you know, I'm dealing with it and I'm very conscious of it and I'm getting a lot better with it. But the, it's interesting how insidious insecurities and these things can be to the point where they become a part of who you are so deeply that you literally cannot identify them at all unless you start to maybe listen to the close, the people that are closest around you, which is very difficult. Right. It's very difficult to hear someone tell you, hey man, you're overcompensating or whatever. For sure. Like, what are you talking about? I feel great. I'm a cool guy. What are you talking about? Or, you know, even to some case, I think a lot of people can't even function. Like, I know for me, we're in Tahoe this weekend, right? And I know for me, one of the things I hate just more than about anything is flying. Like, I really do not fly, like flying. But I flew out here and I started thinking about this a couple of years ago as I knew, as I hated flying, what do I hate so bad? Well, I hate that I could potentially die in a plane crash. That's the bottom line. So I'm like, well, why? Like, what's so bad about that? And nobody wants to die, right? But the conclusion I came to is that my kids will grow up without a dad. Yeah. That's why I'm afraid of planes. Right, that's the truth. Because I'm afraid that my kids will grow up without a dad. And so if I don't have a healthy level of understanding what that is and still being able to like function, like it'd be really easy for me to never fly anywhere, never experience life all because of an insecurity. Do you ever go through, and this was a trick that I learned, I don't know if I call it a trick, but it's a technique that I learned a long time ago where when I have fears, I will literally sit down and think about the worst case scenario, place myself in the worst case scenario that I'm so afraid of, and I get myself okay with it. Yeah, it's awesome. I get myself being okay with it, and then I no longer fear. You'll express your therapy. Yeah, so like if my, exactly so like if my biggest fear is, oh crap, I'm gonna get sick or I'm gonna become paralyzed from this accident or whatever, I put myself in that scenario, worst case scenario, now what do I do with that? I get okay with it, I accept it, and then you end up losing that fear. It's a very powerful technique. It's very difficult to do though, because you have to literally sit there and place yourself in that big time, but it's a super, super effective one to the point where the man who fears nothing is the man that is okay with anything happening. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't mean you like it necessarily, but if you're like, well, if shit goes down, what's that gonna be like, and can I be okay with it? Let me make myself okay with it, and you're no longer scared. You're not scared of natural disasters, you're not scared of anything. It's pretty awesome. That's interesting. That's what I'm at. But no, but I like that perspective, yeah, definitely. I think that's the same formula for success in business. Oh, I've done it with business so many times. I think it's the same thing with business, but I think most entrepreneurs are afraid to take that step in fear of losing or not be able to pay this or do that, and you can't have that mindset. You gotta have the mindset, so what? You know what, none of the end of the world, if this fails. I'm gonna lose X amount, yeah, I always look at that going into any of these ventures that we're doing, it's just like, well, what's the worst that can happen? Right. And then we just go through that, and how we're gonna bounce back, and so you already have that in line, so in place. After that, what's left? Well, if you treat it as no matter what, no matter what you win, if you get growth out of it, right? Oh yeah, if you learn. And let's be honest, most of the time when we lose or we hurt or we fail, the most growth happens. That's the only time growth doesn't happen when things are great. I believe it can. Because otherwise you stay this set. It doesn't happen as often. Very, very gradual pace, maybe. And we tend to not look at it the same way when we are successful, but yeah, absolutely. So if you learn to embrace that, it's, I think you have to, you start seeking that, right? You almost seek the fear, you seek the failure. Because you know it's another opportunity. Yes, either I'm either way. Right, I'm either gonna accomplish this and win, or I'm gonna come out even better than what I was when I went in, so. Well, I think the most successful people do that when they are kicking ass, is they put themselves in uncomfortable situations in order to keep themselves growing. Because otherwise you get comfortable and then nothing happens. The perspective I've always take, not always, but that I like to take is, you just gotta give yourself permission to experiment. Like if you're going at it, like I have to win, I have to make this a success, I have to, I can't fail, you're not gonna do it. Versus, hey, I need to experiment. Like that's how I define success, experimentation. So podcasting, that was an experiment, right? Participating in a Spartan event, like we're here this weekend, that's an experiment. Doing a new business venture, that's an experiment. And so you're not guaranteed success with an experiment. If you approach it like that way, I think you give yourself more opportunities. Do you, are you purpose driven? Do you feel like, because you've made some pivots, do you feel like you're just following what you're supposed to do? I do now, I do now. I think there's a lot of people that feel like they're entitled to know their purpose. Like I should just know. No, you gotta earn that, right? And so a lot of people say, how do you find your purpose? It's not like something that's like out there and you trip over it. That's what it is. It's like you just do stuff. And then you're like, oh, I like that and I don't like that. And so you move left. And I like, it's like, you remember those books when you were little, choose your own adventure? Oh, I love those books. That's what it's like. It's like you read and then you come to this fork in the road and you're like, I think I'll go this way with the information I have. And you take that course. And I think- Oh shit, wrong way, go back. Right, right. You know, and I think what people do is they get so hung up and like, oh, it's gotta be right. And I gotta find my purpose. And so they can't make a decision at all. And they sit the sidelines and then they ask guys like us, how do you find your purpose? It's like, dude, you knew, you just didn't do it. You know, I think one of the best gauges to find your purpose is really to do what fulfills you in the truest sense. The difficulty with that is I don't think people know what that feels like or what does that mean to be fulfilled? Does it mean I make a lot of money? Not necessarily. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Does it mean, you know, I'm having a lot of fun? Not necessarily. It's, you know, feeling fulfilled when you understand what that feels like for you. Every, when you move towards that, you, in my personal belief is you do what your purpose is. And when you're doing your purpose, when you're on that path, you're your best version of yourself. And many times, many times it is something you recognize in hindsight. There's been a few times where while it's happening, like, this is my purpose. But many times it's like looking back and be like, oh shit, that was totally what I was supposed to do. You know what I mean? I mean, I feel like in the work that I do now I, quite honestly, I feel called to do this. Like I almost in a way feel like, and I've always felt this from the time I was little, I know a lot of people feel this way is that like I was, I'm destined, right? Like I'm destined for something more. And I was like this, this hamster wheel of like spinning and spinning and spinning. And I couldn't figure it out. And I just had this like plaguing thought on the back of my mind. Like I know I'm meant for something greater. I feel like I'm getting to that point now. But honestly, what that took is me starting a podcast for my financial planning practice. Like me hearing a podcast, I'm like, oh, that sounds kind of cool. I should try that. And now two and a half years later, which is not a long time, I feel like, man, this is my calling. It might change next year. Now, was that the first time you ever felt that feeling where you did something you're like, this is what I'm supposed to do or had you felt that before? I don't think I've ever felt the way I feel right now. That's awesome. Yeah, I really don't. What an exciting time. It is, man. It's exciting and I feel fired up and I get messages and people, hey, I love what you're doing and I'm inspired by what you're doing and that sense of satisfaction and fulfillment and feeling in me is like, you got a whole community and a tribe now kind of buying insurance. I was very, very, very fortunate to feel that at a very young age. I was 18 years old, the first time I ever felt like I was doing something that I was supposed to do. And I remember it. I remember my first day with my first day working in a gym as a personal trainer. Really? And I wanted to work in the gym. I love the gym. I loved working with people. I love people. But I remember my very first day doing these orientations with people and that first day I got more clients and did more in revenue that one day than the top trainer had done the previous for that whole month. And but it was almost, and I explained it to people like this. It's like it felt effortless and that it was easy. It was like, I just felt like this is what I'm supposed to do. I'm good at this. And it was just the first time I'd ever felt that feeling. And it was so addicting that I lived there and breathed it. And I didn't get that feeling again until I managed my first team. And then I felt like this is what I'm supposed to do. And then it was years. It was years where I owned my own wellness facility and I liked it. I loved it. It was a great time. But I didn't get that feeling that I had for such a long time. It's a point where I almost thought I lost my mojo or something. I believe the signs are there. I believe the signs are there for everybody. And I think people just don't know how to see them. I think that it's like finding your purpose is like finding the right woman. And I think the people that always struggle with finding a perfect relationship or a partner, they want it so bad. That's what they're focused on. When really what you should focus on is being true to who you are. And I think the same thing goes for finding your purpose. When you're true to who you are and you follow your path like that, the signs are there. But when you're looking so hard and you're trying to find it so hard, it's such a hard thing to do. Dude, I'll tell you what. When I had my, I had a wellness facility I owned for about 14 years. And I liked it and everything and it was good. But it wasn't, I didn't feel like I had that first time where I felt like I was supposed to be doing, you know, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. And I had a client, Doug was actually my client. We're training together and we ended up creating this program together. And he tells me, we're not gonna make this a book. We're actually gonna sell it online and we're gonna do videos. So I'm gonna need you to, so what you're gonna do is you're gonna, you're gonna sell on camera and talk to people about the programs on camera. And I'm like, I've never fucking done that before. Like I've never been on camera and talked about these things. I don't know if I can do that. Like that's, that sounds kind of intimidating, but let's go ahead and give it a shot. And he turned the camera on, put it on me. I started talking and then that was the third time. It's awesome. That I felt like this is what I'm supposed to do. And it's just to turn into this podcast. It's when you're in that space where you understand the why behind what you do and your purpose, everything else tends to fall into place. And every time I veer off that track for my own individual self is when I find myself stressed or when I find things, I feel like I'm forcing things. You know, I enjoy business. I enjoy entrepreneurship, but money has never been my purpose, earning money. And I know I say that some people may roll their eyes and I think it comes, I think it comes as a side effect for me at least, but it's never really been that important to me. And every time I focus on money, I feel like I lose who I really am. When I take my eye off that and I focus on my passion, which is disseminating information, meeting people, influencing people, the money tends to come. And I got to keep reminding myself, 38 years old, I still fucking forget that lesson. And it's almost like I have to relearn it every few months where I'm like, wait a minute, that's not the shit that drives me. It's not about the numbers so much. I like looking at them. I like to see what's happening with the business, but what drives me is like, what's my passion? And when I get in that- That's your finding your wine, man. That's some Simon Sinek. Oh, I fucking explode, man. And everything else when you do that, I think too, what I've experienced is that things just tend to become insignificant. Like other stuff. I'll give you an example. I had a shirt design that I did about two months ago. And in hindsight, it looks just like those other company shirts. And I had them out. They reached out to me, they were pissed. And I'm looking at them like, yeah, I get that, right? So I pull these shirts. I'm like, I'm not gonna sell these shirts. So I pull these shirts and I'm out several grand on the design and the print and everything else. And I'm like, that sucks. But at the same time, like learning experience, that was cool. That sucked, but at the same time, learning experience insignificant, let's drive on and let's move forward because you are on your purpose, right? And I can just get back on track really quick and not get derailed by these things that I think have a tendency to completely wreck people's lives and they just really aren't that significant. They just dwell on it. I know, yeah. I had a client once who, and one of the things I loved so much about working in the fitness industry is I got mentored by so many people. Most of them didn't know that they were mentoring me. Most of them were just very successful clients or whatever. But I would ask them questions, have conversations. Luckily, people tend to like to talk about themselves and don't have a problem sharing information. And they would just become my mentors for different things. You know, I'd have this guy over here who'd mentor me on business and this person over here would mentor me on personal life or whatever. There was this gentleman that I trained, Jim, was his name. And he was a very successful self-made entrepreneur. He was 70 years old. He was worth millions of dollars. Had, I don't even think yet in high school education, to be honest with you, grew up extremely, extremely poor. And one day I'm training him and I asked him, I said, Jim, I said, I wanna ask you a question about business because I own my own business and I think you're extremely successful and I wanna learn from people like you. I said, how did you succeed? Like, what's the secret to it all? Like, if you could tell me one thing. And he goes, you're asking me the wrong question. And I said, well, what do you mean? He goes, don't ask me that. He says, ask me how many times I failed. And it was like a bomb went off when he said that. And so I asked him, I said, how many times have you failed? And he told me about the three times he went bankrupt, the three times he made millions of dollars and the three times he lost all of it. And I mean all of it. And every each time he learned something from it and grew and got better each and every time. And you see this with the most successful people, and we're speaking about business, but even in the most successful people in business, you see this over and over again, these extremely successful individuals, they've lost more money than most people will earn in 10 lifetimes. You can't, you can't throw, you can't not throw Joe DeSina's name in that since we're here representing the Spartan race this week. Oh man, we did a podcast with him and his story. He's an important example of it. I mean, I don't know if you know this or not, Ryan, but I mean, this guy was worth millions of dollars before Spartan came around. And he spent almost all his money and lost trying to make Spartan work. And it barely took off just like a couple of years ago. Yeah, and really did he just now start making his money from that, but he damn near went broke forcing this to make it happen. So it's pretty, it was a neat story to listen to him. Yeah, it's awesome. That's cool. Life is definitely, you know, it's interesting. It's like baseball, except you don't, there's no three strike rule. So you just swing the fuck out of the bat over and over again. And you're going to hit something and you're going to hit something. I'm just going to say, I like it. Well, Sal doesn't even watch sports, he's giving him a sport of knowledge. He gave him a hard time all the time as he's a player. You did good, man. Yeah. Well, listen to me. Eventually you're going to hit that ball and make a home. I was like, can you say like touchdown or something? I was like, oh my God. Go to mindpumpmedia.com. There's 30 days of coaching.

Today we're making one of my favorites, a good old coffee cake. Nothing's better than a cup of coffee and a fresh coffee cake. Today we're going to make a cherry one. Okay, we're going to start by opening our cherry filling, can of cherry filling. Going to need a white cake mix, some all-purpose flour for this and you'll also need some warm water and a pack of yeast, pack of yeast. And then for the topping you're going to need some sugar, some butter, and you're going to use part of your cake mix. I'm just going to reserve a half cup. Now if you get a white cake mix, you get more cake mix, but the Pillsbury does. It has more ounces in it, so if you can, buy the one that has 15.25 ounces in it and that way you'll get a little bit more cake batter. If not, it's fine. Just put in a half cup. Now after you reserve that, you're just going to put your cake mix in the bowl, open a pack of yeast, put in a cup of all-purpose flour. This is not a cake, it's a bread, so that's what gives it that bread texture and you're just going to, I'm going to whisk that together a little bit first. It's going to be good. Super simple, y'all. Now we're just going to put in two eggs, two-third cups of water. We're going to mix it up. Now you can use a blender if you want to. I'm just going to use this whisk. Let me get out my dough whisk. Probably be a good time to use it. Yeah, that's much better because it's more like a bread dough. Now what you're going to do is get the batter off your fingers and spray the pan. So we're going to spray the pan with some baker's joy. You can graze and flour it if you want to. This is a 13 by 9 by 2 standard baking pan and now what we're going to do is put our batter in here and spread it out evenly. Make sure I get it all. We're just going to spread it in here good. Remember this is a coffee cake, so not going to be quite as sweet as a cake because of the cup of flour that we put in there, but boy it's going to be delicious. It's even going to have that yeast in there so it'll just taste so good. So just do your best at spreading it in there evenly. The oven needs to be preheated to 375 degrees. All right, so now we're going to take our cherry filling and we're going to dollop it on the top and I know a lot of y'all are going to want to know, can I add cream cheese? Well, of course you can. So if you love coffee cake like I do, oh my gosh, it's my weakness. I'd rather sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a piece of coffee cake than eat dinner any day. So this is going to be a fun recipe for you. It's easy and it's going to be absolutely delicious and much fresher than what you would get if you went in a store and got it. If you're wanting to know how to add the cream cheese, I'm going to go ahead and tell you that it's super sweet with all that cherry filling on the top. I personally would just cut it up in little squares and drop them on top of the coffee cake and let it bake in there with it. That's what I would do. But now if you want to, you can mix it up just a little bit of sugar and then dollop it on the top. All right, if you want to know how much, eight ounces, with about a quarter cup of sugar, mix it with your mixer and dollop it on the top. So I'm going to set this right here and now what we're going to do is take that cake mix that we reserved. We're going to put in five tablespoons of butter. Let's just put a half a stick in there. It's a quarter cut. I think that'd suffice plenty. And now we're just going to use a blending fork and blend this in with our cake mix until it's crumbly. It's a lot of butter. So a half a cup of cake mix, I'll do it. Just use the rest of the cake mix in your batter. Now I'm going to take two tablespoons of sugar and sprinkle in here and just try to beat it up a little bit. That's for streusel. We're going to take this and sprinkle it on there. Don't that look good? Looks amazing. Now whether you dollop the cherries on there or make little rows like I did, it'll be good. That's all there is to it. Let's get it all in there. Then we're going to slide it in the oven and bake it. And it should bake in about 30 minutes. Our coffee cake is ready. And boy, it is starving me. It smells so good. I had my oven on convection. So it got really brown because you bake it at 375. We're going to make some glaze and put on it and cut us a piece where it's going to be so good. So I'm going to bring y'all up close so y'all can watch me make the glaze. All right. For the glaze, a tablespoon of water. This is a cup of powdered sugar and they're telling us to use a tablespoon of corn. I'm just going to pour it in there. I'm going to mix this up for our glaze and the glaze is optional. I'm going to put in some more water. It's another tablespoon of water. So we'll make it two tablespoons. We're just going to mix this up really good. Try to get it smooth. It said if it's lumpy, you can set it, but I didn't want to. Now, I did get a little brown because my oven was on convection. So the next time I'll make sure it turned down the temp 25 degrees. Okay. Now we're going to get us a bite. Good. That is absolutely delicious. And I'm going to be honest with you, it'd be even better with a little cream cheese. So put some on there. All right. This is the first time I made this recipe. And so I do think I would add a little cream cheese on the top. If you don't like cream cheese, then of course, leave it off. We just thank you so much for watching Collar Valley Cooks where we cook like our momma's dad. Y'all come back and see us down here in Georgia. Love you. Bye.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzbvY4iNyQk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCAtcfcfSxdgWfkUXxXZsydQ	Plastic Buster. Continua la campagna nell'arcipelago toscano	Continua la campagna dei ricercatori del progetto Plastic Busters MPAs a bordo di Astrea (ISPRA) nella zona fra l'arcipelago toscano e la Corsica. Francois Galgani, ricettore del progetto, dichiara che non esiste una "isola di plastica", come riportato da alcuni media, fra la Corsica e l'Italia. Nell'area è presente - non in maniera permanente - un hot spot di accumulo di macro e micro plastiche, che si dissolve in pochi giorni, come confermato dai modelli LAMMA. Il team di ricerca a bordo di Astrea conta adesso, oltre ai ricercatori Plastic Busters MPAS e dell'Università di Siena, anche studiosi di Ifremer (Institut français de recherche pour l’exploitation de la mer), ISPRA e di OEC (regione Corsica). Per aggiornamento segui il diario di bordo della campagna: https://plasticbustersmpas.interreg-med.eu/index.php?id=10567	[ "marine", "litter", "marinelitter", "microplastiche", "plasticbusters", "plasticbuster", "plastica", "arcipelago", "toscano", "elba", "corsica", "ricerca" ]	2019-07-22T10:36:55	2024-02-14T20:06:52	22	vZhUeJ3BboI	We are in between Corsica and Italy and we found small places of plastic but there is no island at the moment. So we may have some accumulation, some tax, but that would be just for some patches of, I mean, 521 km long. But we never have big islands there in between Corsica and Italy. Never.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZhUeJ3BboI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCzrtt1NM0CQToqUBgr6lI4w	Judge According to Truth \| Part 2 (John 7:14-24)	www.CornerstoneOrlando.org	[ "cornerstone baptist church", "marc brashear" ]	2015-05-20T23:23:07	2024-04-18T17:51:05	3,742	VzpyjhV0LSY	So the Gospel according to John chapter 7 beginning in verse 14 ending in verse 24 Bible says now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught and the Jews marveled saying how does this man know letters? having never studied And Jesus answered them and said my doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me If anyone wills to do his will he shall know concerning the doctrine Whether it is from God or whether I speak on my own authority He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory But he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness is in him Did not moses give you the law and yet none of you keeps the law Why do you seek to kill me? The people answered and said you have a demon who is seeking to kill you So jesus answered and said to them i did one work and you all marvel Moses therefore gave you circumcision Not that it is from moses, but from the fathers And you circumcise a man on the Sabbath If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of moses should not be broken Are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with a righteous judgment This is the word of god. Amen. Amen. Let's take a few moments in silent prayer Ask the lord to prepare our hearts to hear a word from him this morning. Let's pray Father in heaven Lord, we come to you this morning in prayer as your people called by your name And pray lord based entirely in the finished work of our great god and savior the lord jesus christ Thank you lord Thank you for your mercy and your grace in christ Thank you for his shed blood Thank you for his perfect life God, thank you for the work that he now does interceding for us. God. Thank you for your spirit That intercedes for us even in our prayer god with groanings unable to be uttered God, thank you for this time together to study your word. Thank you for the truths contained in this passage Lord, we acknowledge our need of you now lord. We acknowledge our dependence upon you God attend the preaching of your word with your spirit and help us to understand god and then to move from Understanding to application god help us to apply the truths that we learn here to our hearts that we might live for you more faithfully Live for you more fervently because you are worthy god You're worthy of our lives We praise and worship you god for your everlasting praise and worship. We pray amen. You may be seated Our sermon title this morning is judge according to truth Judge according to truth and it comes from our text in john chapter 7 Versus 14 through 24 where as we continue from last week We're basically going through our study Or our treatise on unbelief. Here's we've looked at the end of john chapter 6 and now into john chapter 7 We've seen many glorious truths about the lord jesus christ as the lord is revealed in the gospel And that's the purpose for john's writing that he might be revealed as the christ as the son of god So that those who would come to believe upon him in saving faith would have everlasting life But here as john the evangelist in his gospel Displays truth about christ. He's revealing to us at the end of chapter 6 and now into chapter 7 a study or a portrait if you will of unbelief of hard-hearted depraved unbelief and Knowing that at the end of chapter 6 into chapter 7 that now as we progress through the gospel this unbelief This response of the jews the response of the crowds Just going to grow more and more and more hostile and Eventuate finally in the crucifixion of the lord jesus christ But that hostility doesn't end there. It's it's tragic and at the same time amazing But that hostility just continues and we see that same hostility today. Don't we? In many cases, it's not that the hostility could increase any more Given their own way many a depraved man would see christ crucified But that hostility more and more today as we progress just being brazenly demonstrated, you know that which we would have thought would have been scandalous 50 years ago just Overtly sinful 50 years ago now is just accepted as mainstream today And just that sin that rebellion that hard-hearted defiance of god's law Hard-hearted defiance of the lord jesus christ becoming more and more brazenly and rebelliously displayed today Than it ever has been we're reminded that we in our time are not without our own hostility without our sin against god No greater tragedy No greater ignorance no greater rebellion than to think on the fact that Mankind in his depravity wallows in the filth of his own sin While christ extends a hand of free grace and mercy for them to be saved It's just a tragedy we have to remind ourselves in going through this passage that john chapter 6 john chapter 7 and these examples of unbelief Written for our admonition the written for our example We're to take lessons from this and not respond as they did We're to see this hard-hearted unbelief and we're to respond differently Our only hope if you are to be saved If you're to go to heaven when you die your only hope is found in the revelation of jesus christ our lord We're to put our faith and trust alone in christ alone to save us so we can be in heaven with him when we die Just as they did just as they were confronted here in john chapter 7 with the facts of the gospel Just as they were confronted with the facts of who jesus christ is what jesus christ came to do They had to make a judgment on those facts and decide for themselves You and I here today are no different Judge with a righteous judgment. You're presented with the facts from john's gospel of who the lord jesus christ is He's made audacious and staggering claims. He claims to be god in the flesh We're not to take that lightly You this morning have to contend with the lord jesus christ And you have to make a judgment for yourself just as they did. Is he merely a good man? A good man would not Engender this kind of reverence this kind of respect this kind of marvel. Is he simply a good example to pattern your life after? That good man might not make any demands on your life or is he lord Is he god incarnate your creator and does he have the right and authority to rule? Judge according to truth judge according to a righteous judgment The lord's call to you this morning is that you would make a sober judgment about him The purpose of the gospel of john is to reveal Jesus as the christ so that if you believe upon him, you might have everlasting life Make a judgment about the lord jesus christ this morning. Will you believe him? Will you follow him with your life? Will you turn from your sin? And listen with the intent that you won't stay as you are That revelation his word is to bring about a change in you It's to bring about repentance. It's to bring about faith So judge all things according to the truth of god and allow his truth to Transform you the last week as we began this passage working verse by verse by verse through the gospel of john We looked at verse 14 at the content of truth The lord jesus christ went up to the temple in jerusalem the middle of the feast of tabernacles To teach in the temple and we looked at our context to determine what he taught What is the content of truth and we know here That both the lord jesus christ taught the truth and that that truth is comprised of the very words of god Sometimes just it's marvelous to think about that that in your lap in your hands You have the very words of all mighty god That you can learn of him That you can know him That you can know what you are to believe what he expects from you how to live for him And all just the joyous truth of the mercy and grace of god in christ You have the very words of god in your hands It's a glorious glorious blessing. That's what jesus taught when he went up into the temple that day He taught the truth of god And we looked at the content of that truth, but this morning now beginning in verse 15 I want you to see the source of that truth. Where does that truth originate from in verse 15 in john chapter 7 The bible says this The jews marveled They marveled saying how does this man know letters having never studied And jesus answered them and said my doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me They marveled they marveled the people were always marveling at christ. He is marvelous People today marvel at christ It says throughout the new testament they were astonished at his teaching Amazed at him if you remember the men in the boat with him in matthew chapter 8 Marveled at him that even the winds and the sea obey his voice right those who Were there when he was confronted by the Pharisees and matthew chapter 22 over paying taxes They marveled at his words The economy of words the the gracious words that came out of his mouth the arguments that he presented jesus christ is omniscient Of course they would marvel amen They marveled at him And to them just a carpenter Just a simple minded galleon, you know from out in the sticks like juliota They marveled at him a marveled at the words that came out of his mouth certainly The words that he taught caused marvel the knowledge that he had caused marvel here in verse 15 They're marveling over his knowledge having never studied But in addition to his words You can't separate the words of the lord jesus christ from the person of the lord jesus christ And as much as they marveled over his words They marveled over him and we're to marvel over him as well If he were just another man teaching just another truth He might engender respect but not marvel Those that teach islam some imam Teaching out of the koran might engine well, maybe not it might engender respect But he's certainly not going to engender marvel from the people when you teach the doctrine of Mormonism Or you teach the doctrine of buddhism or hinduism or any other ism It may engender respect, but it's not going to engender marvel What engenders marvel is the lord jesus christ and the words of the lord jesus christ that have their source in god almighty Many have marveled through the centuries over both the truth and its source they marvel at the lord jesus christ You may hear a great ceo Teach about leadership and you might get something from it, but it's not going to cause marvel Zig ziggler a great salesman. It might cause respect, but it's not going to cause marvel The lord jesus christ is marvelous amazing astonishment Timothy says great is the mystery of godliness that god Was manifest in the flesh. These are the words of god incarnate. These are the words of the lord jesus christ Hebrew says god who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets has in these last days Marvelously spoken to us by his son whom he has appointed heir of all things through whom he also made the worlds Who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power When he had by himself purged our sins He sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high Having become So much better than the angels He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they it's marvelous Worthy of marvel the wonderful works of god the wonderful works of the lord jesus christ in saving a people to himself redeeming wicked sinners like you and i From cover to cover in the bible He just causes marvel The new testament full of marvel at the revelation of the lord jesus christ You know one of the tests One of the tests that this is the word of god And that this truth comes from god almighty. One of the tests is that it causes marvel We have the words of god And this is no light manner you think about the scripture that we've been given 1500 years 40 different authors Perfectly harmonizing together. It's marvelous. This is not written by man This is god breathe holy men spoke as they were moved along by the holy spirit and it is marvelous This is the truth of almighty god This is a test that it's god's words. They are marvelous There's only two issues two options two options available There's that which comes from man And that which comes from god that which comes from god is marvelous That which comes from man has the stench of man all over it, right? You read some of those texts you read some of that doctrine and it's just Man's wickedness man's feeble imagination Right man's feeble wisdom. It is the wisdom of this world the wisdom of the rulers of this age But it is not and obviously not the wisdom of god The wisdom of god causes marvel But it's interesting here in john chapter 7 verse 15. Who is it in this passage that is marveling right now Or is it believers is it the disciples? No, it's the jews and again, we're introduced to that phrase the jews Represents the opposition against christ the scribes the Pharisees the sanhedrin those that were opposed to him They are marveling the opposition those who are seeking to kill him It's those hard-hearted rebellious people that are marveling at the lord jesus christ And isn't it interesting to note From this that those unbelievers those Stealed in unbelief are here marveling at the words coming out of the lord's mouth Marvelling at the teaching of god the source of that truth being from god himself and yet they remain in their unbelief We can marvel at that can't we It's astounding who jesus christ here the lord jesus christ More perfectly than anyone could ever conceive or imagine Preaching the truths of god work god's word and yet there are those in hard-hearted rebellious unbelief in opposition to him seeking to kill him That causes marvel too You'll hear they're marveling at his knowledge They're not just marveling at his knowledge, but they're marveling at his wisdom knowledge applied And in their eyes, he's just an upstart from the sticks out in galilee He's never studied with a rabbi They thought of themselves. We're the academics Right. We're the intellectuals. Who is this upstart from galilee? He's never been with a rabbi. He's never been through our schools He's not been through our system. How does he know these letters having never studied? They couldn't figure him out And we remember from luke chapter two at age 12 in the temple He caused marvel didn't he when he went in and they were amazed astonished at his understanding and at his answers They couldn't figure him out dropped down into chapter seven to verse 45. Look at 40 45 quickly They're in that same chapter chapter seven The Pharisees the scribes had instructed the authorities to bring him in We're gonna question the lord jesus christ bring him in we want to see him and they wanted to kill him And look at 45 the officers Came to the chief priests and Pharisees and they said to them Why have you not brought him? And the officers answered no man ever spoke like this man They marveled at his teaching. They were fearful of the people to bring him in it caused marvel They marveled too And yet remained in their sin Should cause marvel in you and I today shouldn't it The son of man Came into this world to give his life a ransom for many Should cause marvel For wicked sinners like you and I To redeem sinners to himself that the lord of glory Stepped out of heaven Took on the mud of this earth the mud of our existence Walked this earth for 33 and a half years Suffered and died allowed himself to be spat upon allowed himself to be mocked Allowed himself to be scourged and crucified Bore the wrath of god on the tree for three hours in the place of sinners Should cause marvel It's marvelous that the tomb was empty Marvelous that he was raised from the dead Marvelous that he is ascended marvelous that he now provides intercession for his people Marvelous that he's coming back and coming back to judge Should cause marvel Great marvel we marvel don't we at the power of the gospel to change a life That you go from loving the things of this world and hating christ To loving christ loving his word and hating your sin A wondrous marvelous transformation That you love the things that you once hate hate the things that you once love that you hunger and thirst for righteousness That same one that used to hunger and thirst and make provision for your sin It's glorious the transformation the power of the gospel to change a heart to change a life There are many today the preaching and teaching of god's word that wants to strip the gospel from its power to change you And it's a radical transformation We marvel at the power of the gospel to change the heart We marvel at the power of god to take out that heart of stone and to replace it with a heart of flesh To plow up the stony ground of a wicked sinner's heart and replace it with a soft, furl heart that's Ready for the implantation of god's word, right? peter and john if you remember In acts chapter three heal a lame man And in acts chapter four there before the sanhedrin giving a defense Of the sanhedrin in chapter four verse 13 said this when they saw the boldness of peter and john And perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men They marveled and realized that they had been with jesus Those who've been with jesus are changed amen Think about your own life, right? If you're in christ There's been a work of grace in your heart that you can't explain other than the fact that god has done it And he's done it based in his grace and his mercy in the lord jesus christ Based entirely in all that the lord jesus christ is and all that the lord jesus christ has done And is done on behalf of those at the same time who were enemies of his by their wicked works It's marvelous We have to remember that if we're ashamed of him and his words He'll be ashamed of us before the father We're to glory in the lord We're to marvel at the lord. We're to praise and worship the lord We're to proclaim his truth If you don't believe upon him This lord the lord of glory your creator If you don't believe upon him for eternal life put your faith and trust in him turn from your sin Then you will marvel at your own hard-hearted unbelief for all of eternity You will marvel at your own condemnation. You'll marvel at the terror of hell And acts paul quoting the lord says this behold you despisers Marvel and perish He says for I work a work in your days a work Which you will know by no means believe though one were to declare it to you Even that is a cause of awe But that which is from god always causes marvel Back in john chapter 7 jesus explains this in verse 16 In verse 16. He says jesus answered them and said My doctrine is not mine But his who sent me So jesus answers the jews Who in verse 15 were just dismissing him out of hand? They dismissed him who is this guy never studied. How does he know letters? They just dismiss him in disrespect And so he answers them in verse 15 and says the source of all this truth Did not originate with me alone It originated in heaven with god and he's saying basically that both i he's claimed to be from god to have come down from heaven And now the source of this truth is not from him originating on the earth It comes from god also my doctrine is not mine the lord says but his who sent me jesus answers those who were dismissing him This didn't come from man in other words. This is not the wisdom of this age Nor of the rulers of this age who are coming to nothing This is the wisdom of god in a mystery paul says the hidden wisdom which god ordained before the ages for our glory The natural man can't even receive this doctrine the bible says that this is foolishness to him. It's foolishness to him This truth didn't come from man. It is god breathe and holy men spoke as they were moved by the holy spirit jesus says This truth did not originate with me alone. I've been sent In verse 16. It is his who sent me I am the word and i've been sent there are many who take a look at this passage and believe that jesus christ before the sanhedrin Or before the authorities here was merely trying to shirk responsibility Before his enemies wasn't willing to accept responsibility that he was shirking it with this statement It's precisely the opposite Jesus christ has claimed to come down from heaven has claimed to be the son of god to have been from god Now he's claiming that this message his words are from god He's claiming precisely the evidence precisely the opposite. He was claiming himself to come from god as well So now as we've considered the content of this truth. We've looked at the source of the truth I want you to see next here a test of this truth. The lord is claiming That this truth comes from god How do we know that how do you know whether or not the truth is from god? Jesus christ in verse 17 gives us a test of truth A test of truth and it says there in verse 17 If anyone wills to do his will He shall know concerning the doctrine Whether it is from god or whether I speak on my own authority One test of the truth is this the person that truly And diligently faithfully fervently from the heart Who desires to do his will? That person will know that the doctrine is from god That's important. Let that sink in for a moment the person that truly desires And seeks to do the will of god It is that person that will know Whether or not the doctrine is from god a test of truth then is expressed by godliness If the doctrine is from god Then it is a doctrine that accords with Godliness that's right. That's what the bible teaches If the doctrine is from god, then it is a doctrine that accords with godliness If the doctrine is from man, it will produce ungodliness It's a test of the truth. There are many doctrines being produced today By people in and out of pulp. It's all around the world that are producing Ungodliness that is not from god that which comes from god is the truth that accords with godliness You call yourself a christian and you're living in ungodliness. That's not a doctrine that comes from god That is a lie from the pit of hell The doctrine that comes from god is that doctrine which accords with godliness now the scribes and Pharisees Had just dismissed him out of hand in verse 15 for not being intellectual Basically for not being academic like they were for not having gone through their system right their schools of thought But now in verse 17 Jesus is now rebuking them And listen to this now. What are you saying here in verse 17? You can't get to god Merely through your intellect You can't get to god merely through academics Those that draw near to god are those that fervently faithfully desire to seek his will. Do you get that? Here the jews not really interested in doing his will. We'll see that more in a moment They're not really interested in seeking god in that sense They're interested in their intellectual pursuits their academics And so they couldn't recognize the truth that the lord was preaching here They may have drawn near to him with their mouths. They may have honored him with their lips But their heart was far from him. They weren't earnestly And faithfully seeking god's glory. They were after their own glory and that was demonstrated in their teaching And how much they had learned and they're teaching and they're learning and they're teaching and they're learning And yet the test of true doctrine from god is not intellectual The test of truth is earnestly doing the will of god from the heart Holy living as the bible would say loving him heart soul mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself the key To truly understanding the word of god the truth of god is not found in a classroom It's a matter of your heart So i want you to get this now if you are here today earnestly seeking To live for christ If you're under the preaching of god's word under the teaching of god's word if you're studying god's word for yourself And you are earnestly seeking to do his will earnestly seeking to live for him Then you're not going to be sitting here today arguing with your with me in your mind over what's being taught You're not going to be studying the word of god arguing with the word of god over what the word of god says You're going to humble yourself You're going to seek to obey it. You're going to seek to apply it You're not going to be arguing about what it says. You're not going to be arguing about what the bible teaches You're not going to twist it to your own destruction if you're humbly Seeking to do his will People often exhibit this kind of arrogance this pride today, right? They memorize entire books of the bible and they live like the devil at home They study and study diligently study doctrine and then in pride use that study to be divisive among god's people In pride they place themselves In the position of a teacher when we're all students of god's word amen When you go to them in love They're self-willed Self-indulgent they're not interested in the will of god and so they don't recognize the truth of god That you're bringing to them and they're gone That's the way that we need to approach the truth from the very beginning a deep Desire to live for the lord a deep desire a hunger and a thirst for righteousness Do you see the difference? Do you see the difference between that approach to god and that vain prideful empty intellectual academic approach to god Is it good to understand god's word and to learn amen? But you can't that that's not where it ends That knowledge that wisdom from god should lead you on to greater Feats of righteousness for his name a greater understanding of his word is going to sanctify you and cleanse you It's going to lead to holy living. It's going to have an effect in your life It is not merely Knowledge for the sake of knowledge. It is information for transformation It's a transformation. This is the information that will change your life if you'll let it This is god's word If you approach it like this, this is god's very word in my hands Knowing that this is god's word. I know that it is true because god cannot lie And so if I commit myself to the truth of god seek to do his will Resolve in my heart and my mind to find him here and to obey him here to live for him faithfully here Then god think of this christian will lead you into truth You'll have a deeper and deeper understanding of god's word as god leads you into truth because if you seek to know His will you'll know the doctrine is from god Take this verse as a promise. This is a blessing for you if you're in christ Resolve it in your heart and mind to seek to do his will The key to beginning that if you're here today and have not done so The key is first understanding Exactly what god intends by what he says And then humbling yourself and applying that to your life When you do that god will lead you into truth Earnestly desire to do his will. Where do you start? Where do you start? You start by first admitting and acknowledging what god's word says about you What's god's word says about your condition? You have to admit that apart from the lord jesus christ, you've never done anything according to the will of god The bible says that even the plowing of the wicked is what? sin sin Apart from the lord jesus christ, you can't do anything to please him apart from the help of his spirit You can't do anything that he wills for you to do But if you will begin by acknowledging what the scripture says about you what the scripture says about your condition And earnestly seek him when the bible says when you seek him with all your heart, you'll find him Desire to do his will set about to do it How humble yourself over your sin How do you become humble over sin you cultivate a humility over your sin by reading god's word? By seeing you revealed there on the pages of scripture By humbling yourself over your sin Cultivate a marvel of the lord jesus christ and what he has done to save wicked sinners It is astounding that while we were yet Sinners the lord jesus christ died for the ungodly Cultivate a marvel from christ. How do you do that? How do you cultivate a marvel of the lord jesus christ all that he came to do all that he is? By reading his word by seeing christ revealed on the pages of scripture Think on what he has done to redeem your wretched soul and place your faith and trust in him to save you Trust him Believe in him Commit yourself to him Then when you've placed your faith in christ Be willing to cut off your hand and pluck out your eye Be willing to leave everything behind to follow him He does not give up all that he has cannot be my disciple the bible says Leave everything behind to follow him The bible says Blessed are the intellectuals No, the bible doesn't say that the bible says blessed are the poor in spirit, right Blessed are those who know everything No, it's blessed are those who mourn Blessed are the hard hearted in the self-willed No, blessed are the meek Blessed are those that hunger and thirst to be right No, it's blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness Here the jews weren't doing any of that The jews quote-unquote Weren't doing any of that They had set aside the commandments of god and here they were teaching as doctrine the commandments of men In teaching the commandments or the traditions of men, they're making the word of god of no effect They weren't interested in the will of god at all Paul says seeking to establish their own righteousness. They did not submit to the righteousness of god Here they're raising objections over the competence of the lord jesus christ as a teacher and he's Exposing their incompetence as hypocrites Their incompetence with respect to the will of god i want you to see that i want you to see what they're doing Go with me to mark chapter seven mark chapter seven Mark seven gives us insight and do exactly what the Pharisees and scribes were doing here What's the basis of their error? Mark chapter seven. I want you to drop down with me to verse five mark chapter seven Begin looking at verse five Here they are. This is the crew. This is the jews so to speak the Pharisees and the scribes And they ask him in verse five Why do your disciples not walk according to the law of god? No, the tradition of the elders But eat bread with unwashed hands So he answered them verse six and said to them Well, did isiah prophesy of you you hypocrites as it is written This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me and in vain They worship me teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. Here it is in verse eight I want you to see what they're doing verse eight They first they lay aside the commandment of god verse eight For laying aside the commandment of god you hold the tradition of men The washing of pitchers and cups and many other such things as you do First step lay aside the commandment of god They weren't interested in the will of god as much as they were interested in their own glory And so what do they do they lay aside the commandment of god When you lay aside the commandment of god doesn't just sit there. It progresses look at verse nine So he said to them all too well now look at it. You reject the commandment of god They lay it aside and then they reject it all together Simply not going to pay attention to it any longer And they reject the commandment of god in order that they may keep their tradition. Do you see that? You start teaching as doctrines the commandments of men pretty soon the the word of god becomes of no effect You lay aside the word of god you reject the word of god in lieu of your own Traditions, why is that why do they do that? pride They do that because of pride they seek their own glory They don't seek the glory of god. They desire to do their own will They're not earnestly seeking to do the will of the father look at verse 10 For moses said Honor your father and your mother and he who curses father and mother let him be put to death And it's interesting contrast verse 11, but you say We let that never ever be said of us That what is written on the pages of this word that we teach and we preach what is written in the word of god And it's not a but you say here's the word of god says But you say god, please protect us from that wickedness verse 11 But you say if a man says to his father or mother whatever prophet you might have received from me is korban That is a gift to god Then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother verse 13 and here it is They have set it aside. They have rejected it. They have replaced it with their own traditions and verse 13 They make the word of god of no effect through their tradition that you have handed down and many such things you do That's what the Pharisees and scribes had done here They had laid aside god's glory in the truth of his word for their own commandments. Why? It's because of pride It's pride the great obstacle to truth the great obstacle to your salvation is pride I want you to see that in verse 18. We have looked at the content of truth We've looked at the source of that truth We've been given a test of that truth from the lord jesus christ himself I want you to see the obstacle of truth in verse 18 The obstacle of truth he who speaks from himself the bible says back in john chapter 7 He who speaks from himself Seeks his own glory But he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness is in him I think for a moment on this. This is an observation It's an axiomatic truth that the lord is placing before the scribes and Pharisees so that they can judge according to a righteous judgment They can judge according to the truth and they know from this example What's right and what's not okay? The great obstacle to truth from verse 18 is pride And the jews quote unquote can see it just like we can today. It's pride There is the truth of god And the feeble wicked imaginations of men. That's our two propositions, right? The truth of god and the feeble imaginations of men men Either speak from themselves Or they speak from god If they speak from themselves, they're after their own glory Here's what I believe Here's my opinion here are my thoughts on the subject I think the people of god need to hear this and so i'm gonna go to the word of god I'm gonna pull out from the word of god all I can find to support my premise These are my opinions my ideas That's not speaking from god. That's speaking of your own that's speaking from your own imagination from your own thoughts your own desires It's not speaking the truth of god It's what comes out of the heart of man He either speaks of himself And if he speaks of himself he seeks after his own glory But if he's seeking the will of god the glory of the one who sent him Then he's gonna be preaching god's truth There are preachers in pulpits and so-called churches all over the world today That are preaching from themselves. They're not preaching the truth from the word of god. How do you know it? You know it because they're glorying in themselves. They're seeking their own glory, but you know it because it doesn't accord with godliness You look around those churches and they are filled with unrighteousness factories for false conversion You're either preaching of yourself or you're preaching from god We have no business preaching anything in the pulpits of our country, but the word of god They have no business preaching to anyone anything, but what god's word clearly says Then seek god's glory seek that people would follow him that they would put their faith in christ and turn from their sin There are many today The lord says out of the mouth of jeremiah the prophet Of false teachers that from the least of them to the greatest of them many are given to covetousness Right. I saw a news report last week of creflo dollar Calling his his they're not the lord's followers. They're his followers calling his followers quote unquote To send in money so that he can buy himself a 65 million dollar jet Now that is textbook covetousness He's not speaking or seeking the lord's glory the lord's will He's seeking to pad his own wallet and fleece the flock to do it Here's a test of truth in this. He's not speaking for god That's textbook false teacher Those that teach anything but god's word are simply after their own glory There are many that speak from pride. I was reminded of an example from charles spurgeon where charles spurgeon was stepping down from the pulpit And a lady came up to him up to charles spurgeon and said, you know, I think you're the greatest preacher who's ever lived And charles spurgeon said I know that I am Nice lady because satan was whispering in that ear as I was walking down out of the pulpit Whispering that in his ear Just we can't speak out of pride or out of self interest or selfishness or covetousness We can't speak seeking our own glory when you preach the gospel to someone You're preaching the very words of god seeking his glory seeking his worship seeking his praise Seeking that the word of god might find a space for truth in your own heart We teach anything but god's word anything but christ and him crucified We're simply seeking our own glory not god's glory But the person here in verse 18 That is only concerned with the glory of god only concerned with the message that god gives to speak If he's seeking only the glory of god then that one is going to be true We seek only the the glory of god god cannot lie There is no falsehood in him And we'll speak only the truth that one who is true Has no unrighteousness in him. He is consumed entirely with the glory of god He speaks only that which god has given him to speak And therefore he does not lie and he is filled with righteousness his only concern is god and him glorified And he wants to live and preach and speak in a way that glorifies him That's the lord jesus christ here But isn't it true of god's people The same thing is true of god's people when you seek the glory of god you seek to do his will The spirit of god in you sanctifies you and cleanses you and matures you and grows you and slowly But surely conforms you it's the word of god has promised conforms you into the image of christ You become more and more christlike Isn't it an awesome marvelous truth? That one lord would save us Marvelous two that he would employ us in the ministry giving us opportunity to preach his truth to a lost world And that three we can do anything that pleases him considering our sin It is a marvelous Blood-bought truth of the gospel. They were so grateful for Here contrast all of that with quote-unquote again The jews here who are filled verse 18 filled with all unrighteousness because they seek their own glory So it is with all those who don't submit to the truth of god in pride They seek their own glory before men you know Men may not see you for who you really are You may put a good show on before your brothers. You may look Polished before your sisters But god sees you God sees into your heart. He sees every dark corner. He sees every thought. He sees every intent. God sees you God sees your heart. God knows your heart Those who do not submit to the truth of god are self-willed. They're self-indulgent. They're selfish. They're self centered Man-centered not god-centered Are you more concerned about yourself than you are about the truth? You've been put in this position where you could lie To get out from under the truth coming out about you Why when someone brings up the gospel with you are you defensive? Are you argumentative? If you're a known a christian a genuine christian Who didn't like talking about the gospel? I've never met one They don't exist But that's why people get defensive argumentative or self-justifying or lying When someone exposes them according to the word of god That's why Because you won't submit to the truth of god is why you won't see your true condition before god The condition of your own heart why you won't accept the bible's diagnosis of who you are Why you won't see the evil of your sin you need to cultivate in your heart a sensitivity to the evil of evil And you do that by investing yourself devoting yourself into the word of god It's why you don't see how Deserving you are of the wages of your sin. It's why you reject the truth of god and the gospel Because you won't submit yourself to the truth of god job In chapter nine Ask this question. He asks how can a man be righteous before god? If one wished to contend with him he could not answer him one time out of a thousand God is wise in heart and mighty in strength Who has hardened himself against god and prospered the rhetorical answer is no one He removes the mountains and they do not know when he overturns them in his anger He shakes the earth out of its place and its pillars tremble. He commands the sun and it does not rise He seals off the stars. He alone spreads out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea He made the bear orion and the pleides and the chambers of the south He does great things past finding out. Yes wonders without number if he goes by me I do not see him if he moves past. I do not perceive him if he takes away Who can hinder him? Who can say to him? What are you doing? God will not withdraw his anger the allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath him Will you humble yourself before the word of god today? Will you humble yourself? Before what the word of god says of you with meekness will you receive the implanted word which is able to save your soul Or will you sit there in proud hard-hearted unbelief and go to hell when you die? It's absurd Apart from seeking the glory of god Everyone seeks the glory of self Outside of christ everyone seeks the glory of self It is impossible It is impossible To seek self and find christ You may have others think well of you in this life They don't see your every thought. They don't see your every imagination. They don't see the darkness in your heart But god does god sees all of it There is no creature hidden from his sight But all things are naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must give account There is a day coming In which you will give account the books will be opened and you'll be judged according to what is written in them By your works what is done in the body whether good or evil Those that would judge according to truth those that would judge with a righteous judgment will judge god worthy of glory above all Will judge christ worthy of exaltation Above anything in their lives even their own lives also It's because the chief end of man is to what? Glorify god. That's right. Enjoy him forever His glory Is reflected in our love for him when you come to christ his glory is reflected in your love for his word When you come to christ his glory is reflected in your faithfulness in your obedience to his word There is no such thing as a carnal christian There are those christians that struggle with sin We obey the lord obey his word as a fruit of faith if you are in christ Then a fruit of saving faith is obedience to his word not perfect. It's not perfection. It's direction We obey the lord god His glory will be reflected in your humility and your repentance your lifestyle of repentance It'll be reflect reflected in your ever-growing faith and trust in him It'll be reflected in your preaching of the gospel. It'll be reflected in your testimony before the world Listen when the gospel is preached in most churches, they're producing so-called christians that don't look any different from the world But you are to let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven Seek the lord's glory with your life See the test of that truth we see the Glory of god in that truth, but I want you to see the verdict of that truth The verdict of truth look at verse 19 the verdict of truth 19 says did not moses give you the law Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The people answered and said you have a demon who is seeking to kill you It was a tremendous source of pride to the jews That they were recipients of the law the gentiles didn't have it Canaanites didn't have it the malachites didn't have it the hittites didn't have it the jews had it They debate it they study it. They toss it around they teach it. They learn it. They memorize it They glory in it. They pride themselves in it and yet they don't keep it There's a big difference between receiving and keeping and unless you think that's any different then than it is today There's a big difference between hearing and doing Same concept many of those who are hearers Don't do and they deceive themselves Any man who sets out to do his will Finds that he cannot keep it Here far from keeping the law. They're actually seeking to kill him And so in that being recipients of the law they're hypocrites And notice here also the reply in verse 20 comes from the people now not just from the jews I want you to see this in verse 19 the jews Sat in judgment on the lord jesus christ. Who is this man? Teaching these letters and he's never studied not been through our schools not been with the rabbi They sit in judgment of the lord jesus christ here in verse 20 now the people Sit in judgment of the lord jesus christ and as they're listening to him teach and they even go so far as to say that he has a demon So the jews standing in judgment of the lord jesus christ now the people standing in judgment of the lord jesus christ when all Along it's the law of god god himself standing in judgment of them john says they're condemned already And while all the while they're sitting under the judgment of god touting in pride the very law of god that condemns them Paul says this romans 2 Indeed you are called a jew and rest on the law make your boast in god And you know as will you approve the things that are excellent being instructed out of the law And are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind a light to those who are in darkness An instructor of the foolish a teacher of babes having the form of knowledge and truth in the law You therefore who teach another now listen Do you not teach yourself? Don't be a hypocrite You who preach that a man should not steal Do you steal? You who say do not commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You committing adultery in your heart Lust in your heart for another You who abhor idols. Do you rob temples you who make your boast in the law? We have the law of god. We've got the right gospel here. We've got the right doctrine here Do you dishonor god through breaking the law? In other words, are you a hypocrite? For the name of god is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you When you claim to be a christian When you claim to be a christian and you don't live for the lord The name of god is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you You're a hypocrite You claim to be a christian live for christ Follow him This animosity That exists here between the people between the jews and the lord jesus christ all began back in chapter five When we study chapter five, we saw the lord in the temple complex in jerusalem healing a lame man And what day did he heal him on the Sabbath? That's right They accused here the lord jesus christ of being a lawbreaker Yet they were the ones entrusted according to paul entrusted with the oracles of god and yet they're not keeping it They're being a bunch of hypocrites He reminded them in chapter five verse 45 Do not think that i shall accuse you to the father lord jesus christ says i'm not the one accusing you before the father right now There is one who accuses you jesus says Moses in whom you trust the law of god stands in judgment over the hypocrite Here again, we're reminded that lord jesus christ knows their heart He says why do you seek to kill me because he knows what's in their heart? He sees the murderous plots there the people don't know that yet claim he has a demon who's seeking to kill you People didn't know what was in the heart of the jews, but he did their thoughts were exposed before he read them like a book He reads you like a book too He knows your heart Allow the law of god allow the law of god to do its work in you today Judge yourself that you might not be judged with the world allow the law of god to expose the truth that is in your heart Allow the god the law of god To expose your wickedness your depravity your heart before you stand before him in judgment He who has eyes of a flame of fire And plead with him now for mercy the bible says there is none righteous. No not one. You think you're a good person the bible says otherwise You're not a good person think of the iniquity in your own heart It's what comes out of the heart of man that defiles a man. There's none righteous. No not one There is none who understands. There is none who seeks after god. They've all turned aside. They have all All turned aside. They have together become Unprofitable. There is none who does good. No not one Lord here exposes them as hypocrites and yet they presume to stand in judgment of him for healing a man on the Sabbath See where blind hypocrisy leads Blind ignorance to the heart of the law. You see where it leads They are nat strainers and hair splitters when it came to the truth of god Have no idea what is in the heart of god the heart of his truth Quickly the heart of truth in verse 21 Jesus answered and said to them i did one work and you all marvel. What did he do? He healed the man on the Sabbath Verse 22 moses therefore gave you circumcision not that it's from moses, but from the fathers It went all the way back to abraham right and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath When a male child is born the law says that he must be circumcised on the eighth day What if the eighth day falls on the Sabbath? What then? Well, they would circumcise that young male child on the Sabbath they would do that work to make him and Parents so to speak ceremonial ceremonially clean they would perform that work on the Sabbath so that the child would be ceremonially clean It's a simple ceremony so verse 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath So that the law of moses should not be broken Are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? You see the argument there They're busy straining gnats and they miss the heart of god Jesus christ isn't breaking the law here by healing a man on the Sabbath. He is fulfilling its intended meaning from god He's doing that which god has obligated us to do mercy and love Verse 24 so Do not judge according to appearance judge with a righteous judgment Don't judge superficially don't judge without all the facts Don't judge without considering all the positions Don't judge without considering the word of god the whole counsel of god Don't judge according to appearance judge with a righteous judgment based on their practice Jesus calls them here to judge themselves They are woefully superficial. They're not thinking They're not thinking and the fact that they're not thinking being precise with the text of scripture They're inconsistent in their application of the word of god in order to avoid error You must be precise with the text a diligent workman Approved to god cutting straight the word of god. You've got to be precise Here do not judge there is a command. It's an imperative verb basically saying listen stop Judging that way stop judging superficially stop Judging according to your thoughts your beliefs your opinions Judge with a righteous judgment the command there is to judge with a righteous judgment. They need to stop They were guilty of wrong judgment and he commands here a righteous judgment We're to judge according to truth You this morning You're here today and you've never placed your faith in christ Judge with a righteous judgment Be earnest and honest with yourself Don't lie to yourself deceive yourself so you can sort of have your cake with your sin and eat it too The lord jesus christ has been revealed here in john chapter seven judge with a righteous judgment Your heart has been revealed here in john chapter seven judge with a righteous judgment At least be honest with yourself and say listen. I know who jesus christ is I know what the bible says is true. These are the words from god who created me and you know what? I just want my sin I mean at least be honest with yourself. Don't deceive yourself But what an absurd proposition right god who created you who penned these words who gave you breath And now you'll turn with that breath breath and blaspheme him by rejecting the lord jesus christ These words are written so you might believe And believing you might have eternal life Or one day Marvel of marvels despite the astounding Offer of grace and mercy from god in christ marvel of marvels You will drop into hell when you die and you'll be tormented for all eternity god says I don't desire the death of the wicked But the wicked should turn from his sin and live god says Turn to christ put your faith and trust in him christian Brother sister you're here today You know who the lord jesus christ is you've seen what he's done This is a wilderness that we are walking through we have a home waiting for us in heaven Live for him now Follow him heart soul mind and strength. This is a temporary place This is a temporary time and we have Eternity to look forward to praising almighty god praising and worshiping christ free from sin forever. Amen Let's live for him put your faith in him walking trusting him amen Let's pray Father in heaven, thank you lord for this text of scripture Thank you lord for the truth that you've taught here. Thank you lord for the gospel. Thank you lord for jesus christ We're so grateful to you lord for These examples that we have I pray god you would protect us from responding as they did god that you would buy your spirit enable us to judge with a righteous judgment That we might see The horrendous depravity of our own heart our own condition that we might see the excellencies and the glorious Jesus christ a mercy and grace offered in christ that we might turn from our sin Turn from our sin place our faith and trust alone in him to save us Order that you would for your great namesake and dwell us with your spirit causes to walk in your statutes Trophies of your grace for all eternity It's in the blessed name of our great god and savior the lord jesus christ that we pray these things amen	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzpyjhV0LSY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I don't recommend necessarily freshmen living off campus unless that's the only option for them. I know that for our students, I work with graduate students so they're a little bit older. And so I'll put someone from Shenzhen in touch with a student from Shenzhen. Like I'll just put them in touch together and then they'll email and sort of help each other out. We also have an office of off-campus housing which gives students resources so that they can look for off-campus housing while they're abroad. Okay. Lee, do you have any thoughts on that? Do you have friends who have lived off-campus? Yeah, so like personally, I live on campus for the past three years. My fourth year, my senior, I'm living off-campus right now. And what I did is just like since I'm on campus already, so I'm familiar with this environment. So I just go do different apartments and talk to their leasing office and then just throw out details from that. And now I'm living off-campus. Another option is probably, Adina, you may be able to answer this, is to contact the student groups directly. Yes, yes, yes. Because there may be a student group from X number of particular countries. It could be from China or India or Japan or Turkey or wherever. And there's always someone graduating. So when someone graduates, there becomes, you know, there's a room that gets empty. So if you've got three men from India living together and one's graduating, that's a perfect opportunity for someone new to come in and move in. So those are always good options.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz533m49czc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It's the 20th meeting of 2015. Can I ask you to set any electronic devices into flight mode or switch off please? Apologies have been received from Drew Smith. At agenda item 1, we have an evidence session with the Scottish Housing Regulator on its new report, Gypsy Travellers in Scotland, a thematic inquiry. We'll start the meeting with some introductions at the table. We have our clerkin and research team, official reporters and broadcasting services, and around the room we are also supported by the security office. Welcome to the Observer in the Public Gallery. My name is Margaret McCullough, and I am the committee's convener. I now invite members and the witnesses to introduce themselves in turn, starting here on my right. Can I also ask the witnesses whether they would like to make a brief opening statement at the same time place? Thank you, convener. Good morning, everyone. This is Andrew Wight, MSP for Glasgow, Kelvin. Good morning. Christian Allard, MSP for the North East. Good morning. Annabelle Goldie, MSP for the West of Scotland. I'm back. Good morning, John Finnie, MSP Highlands and Islands. John Mason, MSP for Glasgow, Shetleston. Kathleen McInulty, assistant director, Scottish Housing Regulator. Christine McLeod, director of regulation, Scottish Housing Regulator. Good morning. John Jenkins, regulation manager. Thank you very much for coming along this morning to give us some information about your report. We'll start now with John Mason, who's got a few questions to ask. Oh sorry, do you want to give an update? Yes, yes. Thank you very much, convener, for the invitation to give evidence to the committee about our thematic inquiry into gypsy travellers in Scotland. Our sole objective as the Scottish Housing Regulator is to safeguard and promote the interests of tenants and others who use social landlord's housing services. This is the Scottish Housing Regulator's first thematic inquiry into gypsy travellers in Scotland. We published this major report earlier this month and presented our findings and recommendations at a meeting of the Traveller Site Managers Association at the official Gypsy Traveller Site at Bridgend in Stirling. Our report on Gypsy Travellers in Scotland looked at social landlords' management and maintenance at their official sites and how landlords are applying the Scottish Government's Scottish social housing charter. We assessed the performance of 20 social landlords in Scotland who provide 29 official sites for gypsy travellers. We spoke directly to gypsy travellers to hear about their experiences, as well as carrying out survey work with social landlords and analysing national performance information. We also considered evidence from other sources such as this committee's own inquiry into where gypsy travellers live. We recognised that gypsy travellers are hard to reach, so we were delighted that 49 gypsy travellers participated in our thematic inquiry across five official sites. That gave us important, really valuable access to the individual experiences of gypsy travellers using social landlord services. We found that social landlords didn't always apply relevant charter standards to their gypsy traveller services and sites. Gypsy travellers in Scotland are not always receiving the standard of service that they should from their social landlord. We also found that some landlords are listening to gypsy travellers and are considering their particular needs. Our report also gives examples of positive practice that landlords told us about. We included recommendations for social landlords that are aimed at improving the quality and consistency of services provided to gypsy traveller site residents across the country. Principally, we recommended that social landlords apply all relevant charter standards and outcomes to residents of official gypsy traveller sites. We recognised that Scottish Government has recently published helpful guidance setting out new minimum standards for official sites and setting out core rights and responsibilities. We think that those new site standards and responsibilities have the potential to make a real difference in improving services across Scotland. We call for all social landlords with official sites to act on our recommendations and to give an equal standard of service to gypsy travellers and social housing tenants. We will provide feedback about our findings and recommendations to the gypsy travellers who took part in our inquiry and we intend to publish a version of our findings and recommendations for gypsy travellers and expect landlords to promote that at their sites. We also want to ask gypsy travellers about how we can best promote that amongst their community. We will use the findings of our inquiry to determine whether there is a need for us to engage further with any individual social landlords specifically relating to the charter standards and services provided at their sites. We will also be keen to work with others and to contribute to their role in promoting implementation of the new standards. Having completed this thematic inquiry, we now have an evidence base against which to measure future performance. We are going to build on this next year through assessing landlords, annual returns on the charter and we will be looking for evidence of improvement. We look forward to hearing some of your answers for the questions that we will be asking just now, so we will pass on now again to John Mason. That was very interesting and I appreciated reading the report. I think that that is very encouraging. You said that that was the first time that the Scottish Housing Regulator has done such a report. Do you know if any of your predecessors, such as Scottish Homes, or any of those groups, have ever really studied this? The predecessor bodies did have a remit in relation to gypsy travellers and did do previously what were called thematic inspections at that time, based on the standards and the legislation that applied at that time. You said that you had engaged and gave us a bit of information about that. I would be interested to hear a little bit more about that. Did you try to get gypsy traveller representatives from across the spectrum or did you find some more willing to be involved in others? I think that it has been very encouraging that we have had people engaged in the committee. At the same time, we have sometimes felt people saying, well, we have spoken to you a lot before and nothing has happened, so what should we speak to you again? I would be interested in your experiences along those lines. Yes, our engagement with gypsy travellers in this inquiry was primarily through our national panel of tenants and service users, which is something that we established in 2013 as an important way for us to communicate with tenants and other service users. We used the national panel primarily to gauge priorities and individual experiences and, in this way, to shape our regulatory focus. We were delighted that 48 gypsy travellers took part in this particular inquiry, and that was across five official sites in Scotland. That gave us a good range of views and information about the direct experiences of the services that they are receiving from their landlords. Can you explain what you mean by the word panel? When I think panel, I think five people sitting there, but obviously it is not that. Is it a big pool that you select people out of? The national panel is independently run by Craigforth, a social research organisation. It has in total 430 members, some of which are gypsy travellers. It is a panel that is open to anyone who is a tenant of social housing or who uses the services of a social landlord in Scotland. It was specifically the gypsy traveller folk who were commenting on that. That is correct. Does the charter apply right across the board? I seem to be picking up that some of the housing associations might not have realised that it applies to gypsy travellers just as much or gypsy traveller sites, just as much as ordinary housing. Does it apply in fact just as much? It does. The purpose of the charter is to improve the quality of services that social landlords provide by setting out standards and outcomes that social landlords have to achieve and that tenants know what their social landlord is required to provide to them. There are 16 outcomes and standards. The 16th standard applies only to landlords who manage sites for gypsy travellers. That states that the sites should be well managed and maintained. However, there are a number of other charter standards and outcomes that apply to tenants and service users. They are explicit and say that there are some of the standards that only apply to tenants. Again, they will say specifically that they apply to tenants, others apply to tenants and service users. Those relate to equalities, communication, participation, value for money and rents. There are a range of charter standards that apply equally to service users and tenants. We think that the charter, as it is set out, is clear. It does specifically say that there are tenants and service users and there are tenants and customers with regard to various standards. We do not think that a landlord would not understand or be clear about where there is a requirement on them. It seems quite clear. What would happen if a landlord was a good landlord for the majority of their tenants but had forgotten about the gypsy travellers at the side? When you come to mark that or whatever you do to regulate housing associations, social landlords, would you pick that up? You would not just look at the majority and look at the whole thing? I mean, in terms of this thematic inquiry, the landlords that we looked at, we were looking specifically— Yes, I was thinking more on your annual assessments and things. Yes. The information that we collect every year that annual returns from former social landlords relate very specifically to the charter. It is the annual return on the charter. Our indicators, the statistical and performance information that we asked for, link directly and are drawn from the charter standards themselves. Yes, but my fear there was that a landlord appeared to be doing quite well because they were doing well for 95 per cent of their tenants, but they would get lost in the statistics, the fact that they were not doing very well for the bottom 5 per cent, the gypsy travellers. When we look at the annual returns on the charter, we are looking for where we are saying compliance with charter indicators and where there is not compliance, where some landlords are performing less well and are in a bottom quartile. There are 160 out of 190 landlords, so we do very specifically pick up on each indicator where each landlord sits in terms of comparison with other landlords. However, the thematic inquiry is one of the best tools that we have available to look at in depth at how a particular aspect of the charter is being addressed and has been implemented by social landlords. Last year, we carried out our first thematic inquiry into housing options. That was an incredibly important way for us to look at how that aspect of the charter has been delivered in practice. That is the approach that we took with the thematic inquiry. Are you hoping that the thematic inquiry will give a boost to housing associations? Our feeling is that it is best that it is patchy across the country and that some could improve. There is absolutely room for improvement. I think that the extent of our recommendations makes it clear that there is considerable room for improvement. I mentioned that there were aspects of positive practice that we saw, so it is not a completely negative picture. In fact, in your report, it is all positive examples. There is no negative example. You can take from our findings and recommendations those are the areas where we are saying that practice needs to be considerably improved. Our recommendations are quite strong and directive around that. That is where we see that there is room for improvement. We think that the positive practice examples are useful because they provide some balance, but it is not a completely negative picture. They share approaches that particular landlords are taking, which others can consider and see whether they can apply that in terms of their own services and improve their practice through that. I think that the report is hugely encouraging and I was very struck with your 16 recommendations. The charter is advisory and persuasive. If I were a housing association and I fell of you people, I would be losing my sleep at night. Do you think that the authority of the housing regulator is enough to bring social landlords into line if there is no compliance in due course with your recommendations? We have statutory powers that we can use to compel action if that is required. Our favourite approach in the first instance is to work with landlords to understand where the gaps are between what we expect, what the charter expects and what is happening in practice, and to be assured by them that they understand and have plans in place to improve their performance. If a landlord is demonstrating to us that it is either unable or unwilling to take action to improve, we would feel that it is necessary to use our powers. What we have here is a powerful mechanism for achieving change because we have the charter, the standards and the Scottish Government's new minimum standards. We have the evidence from our thematic inquiry and the recommendations. We now have a strong evidence base to push for improvement and to require that. This is a system of muscle? It is a way of achieving. I have been a catalyst for change and improvement. Can I come in on that? The fact that you have gathered that information and identified action points that councils and social landlords have got to implement, is that you are aware of those action points that they have got to do? If you identify the certain things that they are not adhering to, they would then put that into an action point. They have to address that on communication with yourself, is that correct? They know where they are falling down and not meeting the standards. Is that correct? Yes, I will let you know. On that, if they are aware of that, do you follow that up at a later date to make sure that they are implementing those action points and bringing it up to the required standard? It is certainly one of the main mechanisms for us to achieve that improvement in standards by making the individual landlords aware of the shortcomings that we have found. The report deliberately does not do that. It does not attempt to name and chain, but certainly a key mechanism for improvement will be us speaking to the individual landlords and to have that conversation and point out where that gap exists. We will be phoning or contacting all of the 20 social landlords that are covered by the inquiry to give them individual, tailored, specific feedback around our findings. What we are hoping and what we will certainly be asking them to do is to ensure that, in fact, improvement action is then put in place to address the weaknesses that have been identified. We carry out an annual risk assessment across all of the regulated bodies that we have, and that will be something that will feature in the annual risk assessment as we go forward in future years. That is the mechanism to drive the improvement process. On one of the issues that I was going to raise, I have mentioned the fact that you have identified the social landlords who are not performing properly under the social charter, but there is a huge amount—in your report, I think that it is a paragraph 9—about how unaware some of the social landlords are of the charter. How do we get about to improve the fact—I see some issues that you have put in your report and thank you very much for that—but how do we make them make sure that they are aware and they pass that information on to their tenants? We are very keen—when we spoke to our board—to try and ensure that the findings of the report were disseminated down to service users themselves. We certainly see service users themselves, the Gypsy Traveller community, as being a driver for change here if they are given the right information. One of the things that we are very keen to do is to get that message and the recommendations contained in our report to make the community aware of those recommendations to give them the tools to hold their landlords to account. We intend to speak to the representatives of the Gypsy Traveller community to find out the best mechanisms, as opposed to us coming up with our own ideas, to speak directly to the community themselves and to find out what mechanisms would be best to disseminate the recommendations, to allow them to empower them to hold their landlords to account. Thank you. Is that the small report that you are talking about, which will be sent out rather than the full report? In terms of conversations with people, that is one of the things that has come forward. Its point was producing a major piece of work in expecting every Gypsy Traveller in Scotland to read the report. One of the things that we have talked about is producing a plain English one-page version that would hit the key points in terms of the recommendations and what we would expect to see happening in terms of processes there. Certainly that is one of the mechanisms that we are talking about. We are also speaking to the Association of Site Managers. The Gypsy Traveller community has highlighted to us the important role that local staff play in determining exactly their local circumstances. We feel that those are important players that we need to engage with. It is about that communication, about making sure that the site managers are also aware of the recommendations in our report. Just one small follow-up. I am pleased that you are going to the grassroots and the people who are living there rather than from the top down and bottom up. If they feel that they are not being said properly by their site managers or the owners of the site social landlords, would they complain straight to you? Obviously, if you are living on the sites, it is difficult to complain about somebody who is running the sites. How would that work that no-one gets a knockback in that respect? It is very interesting. Compliance was one of the areas that we specifically looked at the whole issue of complaints processes. It is certainly one of the areas where we found a significant variation in approach across the social landlords that we spoke to. Some landlords were very active in promoting their complaints processes and making sure that travellers were aware of the process to fall in terms of a corporate complaints process, but also made them aware of the role of the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman. That, I must admit, was actually in rare occasions that we see this happening. What we found at the other end of the spectrum was perhaps landlords just relying on their details on their website for a service user to go to their website to discover how to make a complaint. There was quite a wide variation. We have put in a number of recommendations about the need for that to be much more of a need in playing field in terms of people being made aware of their rights. Again, it is about empowering the community themselves to take action because they are the ones who are directly experiencing the services and the conditions on the sites. It was about trying to make sure that they were made aware of the routes available to them in the event that they were not happy with their response to a complaint. One thing I would say is that the Gypsy travellers themselves often saw the local site staff as the key point of contact for their landlord. What tended to happen was that an awful lot of complaints were directed to the site managers or to the local staff. That was the mechanism that tended to be used because that was the main focus in terms of their contact with their landlord and the landlord services. Again, it goes back to quite a key pivotal role if we can ensure that that particular mechanism is the first port of call and that complaints are dealt with satisfactorily. However, people need to be aware of the routes that they can follow in the event that they are dissatisfied with the response to the matter that they have raised. On the report, you are thinking about giving back to the community. Do you think that you have a little space for comments for feedback just to see how the Gypsy travellers may have some positive observation to make about your report? That is probably one of the benefits of having representatives of the Gypsy travel community within our national panel of tenants and service users. It means that we can go back to them or at any point in the future. Just now, we carried out an annual comprehensive survey with all members of the national panel, but we also supplemented that with specific areas that we might want to question representatives further about. In fact, we also use focus groups, I believe, to sit down with members from the national panel from across Scotland to pull them together, to have a conversation with them, to get more depth to our understanding rather than issuing a questionnaire or asking particular questions through a survey. It gives us the opportunity to sit down and do that with the Gypsy travellers. I am hoping that that is exactly what we will be doing in the future, using the mechanisms of the contacts through the national panel to speak directly to service users to ensure that we know what the views are of the people who are receiving the services. I was interested in a couple of the indicators that you identified. One was the pitch-rent variations, and one of my colleagues will deal with that, but the other was satisfaction with the landlord's management of the site. Encouragingly, that seems to improve between 2013-14 and 2014-15, but I was interested in what are the factors that affect site residents' perceptions in terms of satisfaction. I wonder if you could shed a little more light on that. Certainly when the charter was initially brought into being, we commissioned some research by independent consultants to actually go out and speak to Gypsy travellers and to actually get a better understanding of what the priorities were for that particular group of service users. We appreciated that the services and the needs of Gypsy travellers could not be seen as being the same services and needs of its homeless people as tenants of social landlords. We specifically commissioned a piece of work to look at that. Back in the summer of 2012, Gypsy travellers came back to us with a series of findings, and certainly some of those were not unsurprising and possibly predictable. Some of that was around things like being treated fairly and being treated with respect. Gypsy travellers were telling us that that was actually quite important in terms of their relationships with their landlords, but the main priority at the end of the day was around having a say in landlords' decision-making processes and having communication with their landlord whereby they could present their views and have those views taken on board. It is very similar to a normal tenancy, I would suggest. Most social tenants would give you something very similar, but when we have spoken to Gypsy travellers through the inquiry, what we have found is that very few of the Gypsy travellers could actually give us instances where their landlord had directly asked for their opinion. That is one of the areas that, again, we have put in a number of recommendations around that area simply because we realise just how key that area is in terms of the satisfaction of the site users. I think that there are another couple of areas that were also highlighted, things like speed of response, which again is very similar to a social tenant at the end of the day. If you report a repair, you want to know that, in fact, that is going to be dealt with in a speedy fashion. The other thing was just about value for money. That was actually very important to a specific group of Gypsy travellers, but it was a very high priority for them. It was around the value for money that their rent represented in terms of the services and the standards on the sites that they were occupying. We know that the Scottish Government's minimum standards for site residents will be in place by June 2018, and you have noted that 13 social landlords plan to make improvements over the next two years. You have covered this slightly already in evidence, but I just want to be clear. It seems to me that that is an area in which communication between landlord and site residents is very important. In our previous inquiry, which confirms what you found, we found that the natural point of contact was probably the site manager. That was the person on the spot, but that person may have limited authority or limited knowledge. Have you any ideas about how we can improve communication between the landlord and the site residents? The manager may be an essential conduit in that, but is there a need to broaden out that dialogue? Obviously, the methods that are being used for communication vary across the different landlords concerned. Some are more effective than others, certainly when we speak to Gypsy travellers. One of the things that we were keen to do was not to be prescriptive in the report to say that this is the silver bullet, this is how you communicate, or this is how you improve communications. What we chose to do at the end of the day was to say to, in the recommendations, to say to the landlords concerned, to speak to your Gypsy travellers and find out from them what form of communication would be the best form of communication in that circumstance. I think that that is probably the more effective solution to have a method of communication, which actually flows from that conversation between the landlord and the local representatives. Anything that is imposed as a standard or in some way a prescriptive approach, I do not think that that would work simply because of the variety of landlords and the variety of sizes of sites and the like that actually exist there. I think that that is very helpful. You also detailed that some social landlords were able to identify complaints relating to their sites but others were not. I was quite surprised to find that. I just wanted to have your comments on that. Is there something that can be done to encourage better complaints recording? Certainly, we were surprised as well. Possibly we were not surprised because we included that as a question in our survey was, can you tell us how many complaints you received from Gypsy travellers in the last 12 months? Some landlords were able to respond positively in terms of providing us with numbers. Others ticked a box saying that we could not supply that information. When we followed up the survey responses with telephone conversations with the landlords concerned to try to get a better understanding as to why that was happening, it would appear that Gypsy travellers in some landlords are not seen as a specific group of service users. The complaints from Gypsy travellers go into a pot of other complaints but there is no tagging or any systematic process to highlight those so that they can be extracted. What it means is, in effect, that those complaints cannot then be used as a form of evidence to drive forward change and improvement simply because they are not being separated and isolated and brought into an improvement process. That was one of the points that we have put in the recommendations that landlords need to do more, not simply with complaints from Gypsy travellers but with feedback to use feedback that they get from Gypsy travellers so that they can drive change and drive improvement in dialogue with their service users on the sites. Paragraph 68 of the report says that, although some landlords provide site residents with comprehensive site handbooks, including details of their main duties of local staff and others, others told us that they covered the agreement at the sign-up or posted information on to the site. In contrast, a number of landlords told us that they have decided not to make this information available to landlords. Gypsy travellers spoke to and said that they devalued a name contact for the landlord. Is this not a mandatory requirement when anybody, regardless of who you are, actually sign a lease, a tenancy that this information is actually provided? I do not think that it is a mandatory requirement. The site manager, the site staff, the site personnel whatever title they give the local site manager is a key to the success or the perception of the Gypsy travellers in terms of their satisfaction. They play a key role and it was certainly something that we were keen to explore was whether, in fact, landlords actually made tenants of the residents on the site aware of the duties of the managers. Where we found this previously was in relation to caretakers and multi-story blocks, for example. Some landlords actually have on the notice board as you walk in a picture of the caretaker for the block with a list of his main duties. Here is what he actually does and here is where you can contact him. That was the type of thing probably that we had in mind when we were actually pulling together the survey. Some landlords obviously did this and were quite happy to publicise to the service users what the local staff's responsibilities were. Others we found were more reticent to actually do that and came up with a number of reasons as to why they did not want to do that. From a service user perspective, putting myself in the shoes of the service users, I would probably prefer to see that. Certainly, we raised that with the association of site managers and spoke to them about it. They thought that it would be useful. They did not appreciate the different practices that existed until they raised it in the report. However, it was something that they thought would be useful in terms of making service users aware of what they did and what they did not do and what they were responsible for and what they were not responsible for. However, as far as I am aware, that is not normally covered in terms of the lease that they actually sign. There is not something in the air that specifically says, and here is what the local site manager's responsibility is for. So the reasons for not doing it, was it justified or has it been put into an action point for you to follow up at a later date? There were a variety of reasons, given some were less obvious than others, if I can put it that way. However, it is an action plan for them to follow up. Certainly, it is something that we have said is that Gypsy Travers have told us that the importance of that whole, of that local contact, the local named contact, is really very important to them and we have highlighted that in the report that this is what one word should be doing. Thank you very much. It is okay, John. John covered the point that we made it clear in the report that landlords and one of our recommendations is that landlords should provide a named contact and that is something that we can measure in the future. A small piece when you were giving your evidence earlier, John, to Annabelle, I think it was, in regard to complaints. You mentioned the various of complaints. It was a value for money for services that they were not receiving. That was one of the highest. Obviously, by the nature of the name of Gypsy Travers communities, is that because of travelling round sites, some sites have much better amenities than others? If you have put in your report, it is Lanarkshire Council, provides an amenity block where they can provide health services, dental services. How great is the difference between the various sites? Is that an issue that is raised obviously during the complaints procedure? It has not come through the complaints processes, but certainly we were very keen to investigate the services that were being provided, simply because we could see the variety of rents. The rents actually varied quite dramatically between £48 and £80. We were keen to explore whether, in fact, this was a reflection of additional services that were being provided by the landlords. That was the reason why there was such a variety in the rents. We did not find any correlation at all between high rents and lots of services. That did not exist. The variety of services varied across the piece. You were just as likely to receive an awful lot of services at a low rent, as opposed to a higher rent. There was not a direct correlation that we thought might exist there. However, as far as I am aware, that has not been raised through complaints, the complaints that were coming in most real related to the condition of the site itself, as opposed to the additional services that were being offered on site. In relation to additional services, there are real discrepancies in areas that provide mental health services such as children's playgroups, etc. Is that something that I know is guidelines, but as Christina Reddy said, it is statutory. Is it something that we would be looking at to make it statutory that it provides a community centre, a community where it can provide health services or whatever, bearing in mind your report? It is very good, but how would you work that? I think it's very difficult if you remember the variation in the sizes of the sites concerned. Some sites consist only of four pitches, six pitches, and I think a number of you have actually visited the sites. Those vary through to maybe up to 30 pitches, some of the bigger sites. The economics of actually delivering services under that kind of context is very difficult, and certainly I would be cautious about trying to impose a standard across the Gypsy Traveller sites, given the huge variation in size and also geographic spread as well. Thank you. So an element of personal preference by some of the Gypsy Travellers about site choice? Yes, absolutely. The consumers at the end of the day are sometimes worst. They are consumers, they are customers, so they do want to exercise choice like everybody else does. So really part of your role is to raise awareness to the social landlords that Gypsy Travellers are their customers and they have to provide a service? One of the recommendations, I think, talks about our wish to see them landlords identifying the needs and actually responding to the needs of this particular group in this community. Kathleen, do you want to come in? To add to that, the charter states the outcomes and the standards that landlords achieve. It does not tell them how to do that, and that is a clear message in there. One of our recommendations is that landlords should engage with Gypsy Travellers on their sites to find out what those needs are and to deliver the services that meet the needs of users of their sites. Yes, thank you convener. Good morning panel. Come this stage of our speaking, many of the questions that I plan to ask have been asked, so I will vary them slightly. First of all, thank you for your work and the format. I think that it is tremendously helpful in the scheme of things that we have been doing, addressing Gypsy Traveller issues over a number of years now. That is an extremely helpful contribution and the format that you have adopted is important to have name and shame at the end of an escalation of which you first and foremost deal with positive practice, so I like that approach. It is with regard to that that I would like to ask you, and it has been touched on earlier, but it is about how landlords would ask Gypsy Travellers specifically about their services. It gives me an opportunity to name-check an organisation in my area, which is the Ergyll community housing association ACAS, as it is more commonly known. Their approach is that they have, and you mentioned this in your report, their Gypsy Traveller strategy. Although we know that it does not constitute a Scottish secure tenancy, I think that they are to be commended for providing as your report describes it, the quality of service and that right to repair and rent consultations is a contractual right. It is important to say that that phrase probably means absolutely next to nothing to most of the residents who want to know that they have a right to repair and want to be spoken to. How do we encourage that best practice and how do you share with the other providers that there is nothing threatening about having that level of rights afforded, as you describe them with customers? Social landlords now have the clarity that the charter standards apply to Gypsy Traveller service users. Direction now from the Scottish Government around minimum site standards and responsibilities makes clear what they should be doing and what they should be talking to their residents about. We will expect landlords to have regard to our recommendations and consider how they apply them in their own organisations to improve services and to talk to Gypsy Traveller services about the best way for them to do that. That is twice what you have used in the term talk, and that is encouraging. It is not a sweeping generalisation that there are high levels of illiteracy among the older Gypsy Traveller population. It is to do with the education that is applied at their time, so sending a detailed document is a waste of time. Do you encourage that one-to-one engagement? Gypsy Travellers told us about the importance to them that they were asked for their views and that they got feedback on what happened and what the outcome of that process was. We heard through the inquiry from Gypsy Travellers about some things that worked for them. Those included some simple things such as a suggestion box on the site, even verbal feedback from local staff. One example given was the use of text messaging to ask questions or to pass on information to them. There are a number of ways in which good communication engagement can be achieved. As John Lennon has already highlighted, the important thing that we regard is that landlords ask Gypsy Travellers to use their sites what will work for them. Although a significant proportion of the residents on those sites are pretty stable there most of the time, the lifestyle is one of movement, how do people moving from one local authority area to another know and gain access to sites? I must admit that this was not something that we had addressed but it was something that actually came up when we were talking to the site managers. They themselves had identified the fact that although there were a travelling community each local authority tended to work in a silo in terms of, here is our site and this is where we are and here is our phone number and here is how we allocate pictures. It has never been pulled together in one document and the site managers association for the first time have pulled together a guide and published through their own resources a guide for Gypsy Travellers, which contains details of all the official sites in Scotland in one document along with all the contact details. It is not a huge piece of work but something to be applauded in terms of that they identified a need there and through their own limited means had actually responded to that need and produced a brochure that they can now circulate to Travellers which contains all this information in a useful succinct place as opposed to having to search through different websites and the like to get this information. They are to be commended for that and I am sure that we will gain possession of that because that is an important because you use the term customers, of course Gypsy Travellers are customers but what makes them unique is the lifestyle that many would choose and that is a recognition by the site providers of that so that is very helpful. Can I touch on the issue of rent again there please because there is great variation and I wonder if it is not entirely fair to make a comparison with bricks and mortar houses necessarily but is there any sort of formula that would apply to bricks and mortar that in any way would be applicable? I mean the basic things all be pitched to put your trailer on and then there might be additions on top of that. Is there a formula or is there anything that could this is? At present there isn't a formula in relation to rents for social houses. If you look at all the social landlords across Scotland there is no common test that is used just now or formula which actually arrives at an affordable rent for a particular house in a particular location. If it is not possible in terms of the bricks and mortar it is difficult to see a methodology that might work in relation to the Gypsy Traveller pitches. I think that what is clear from our conversations with service users is just how important contextually for their thoughts about value for money they immediately draw comparisons to the rents of social rented houses in that particular area and that was one of the things that we were keen to understand was value for money tends to be quite a term that can be used quite loosely and different definitions are put on it by different people but Gypsy Travellers were quite clear that that was one of the key things in terms of a judgment about value for money whether a pitch rent whether it be 40 pound or 80 pound what they drew comparisons with where the local social rented accommodation. And again was there any link that you found there between that wide variation would that apply to the housing in each of those respective areas? Certainly obviously there are variations in rent if you go to Glasgow there are 60 one-wars social rented one-wars they all have different rents for their properties it's the same bricks and mortar but the services and things are slightly different it's the same with Gypsy Traveller sites as I've said you have community facilities on some you have different arrangements for services being provided so it's very difficult to actually to say that these two sites you could compare and say it's equal in terms of comparing the rents simply because the services the locations of the sites and the like are totally different so it's the same with bricks and mortar and one-wars it's very difficult to be formulaic in terms of coming up with something which actually says here is what's important. Yeah that might be an expectation of a customer. Pitch rents with social housing is part of this inquiry but we did ask Gypsy Travellers what information they received from their landlord about their rents and what they were paying for essentially and we did ask landlords also how they approached setting their rents and a number of those policies made references to affordability however in some instances we didn't find any evidence of how landlords tested proposed pitch rents against that particular criteria and we also asked landlords how they consulted with Gypsy Travellers around proposed increases to pitch rents and while some landlords did a number of landlords confirmed that they didn't seek the views of Gypsy Travellers in relation to the rents that they were setting and that's a recommendation that we've made again in the report that it's really important that landlords have that dialogue with their residents on their sites and to understand what is affordable for them and to help them to understand what their money is being used for. Would you say there's a greater need for transparency around price setting? It's certainly a priority for Gypsy Travellers that they understand what their money is and in that respect it's important that landlords make that information available to them. I was just going to add just in terms of the question and answer there around a formula for rents although there isn't a formula for landlords setting the rents for their, you know, for the bricks mortar for their houses many landlords do have a methodology for structuring their rents you know whether it's based on size, location, you know the amenities that are provided, the type of heating and so on and what we're looking for and didn't find and we think is needed is a similar sort of structuring and building up of the elements of pitch rents so that there is that increased transparency for Gypsy Travellers moving from site to site knowing what they're paying, what it's for, how it's been constructed and put together and that would certainly help we think in understanding where, how a rent, a pitch rent is constructed. Okay, thank you very much, very helpful. Thank you. Thank you, John. Some landlords, you've probably answered some of this but I'd like to sort of get you to pull it together for me if you don't mind. Some landlords have published service standards for their Gypsy Traveller sites, although only a few develop these in consultation with local site residents and a small number of landlords routinely measure performance against their standards and report the results to site residents. So my question is what can be done to improve the way landlords measure performance against their standards and report the results to site residents? In terms of starting that process, it's important that the residents of Gypsy Traveller sites actually understand what service standards are actually about. What we found was in conversation with Gypsy Travellers, many of them didn't have a wide appreciation of the importance of site standards in terms of things like responsiveness times, for example, inspections, routine inspections of the sites. That type of thing didn't feature highly when we were actually speaking to Gypsy Travellers and it wasn't until we started to explore it with landlords that we found that, in fact, an awful lot of landlords didn't actually have these standards in place, which was probably why the service users weren't quite as aware of them as we thought they would be. The important thing with service standards is that they're actually developed in conjunction with the service users so that, in fact, there's that engagement process that goes back to our point about talking. We need the landlords and the local residents to actually talk, to come up with something in terms of a standard that is acceptable to both parties. Once that standard is in place, we would then expect to see that as a public standard that people are aware of, customers are aware of on the site, and that they can then see performance, the landlord can measure his performance, report his performance and the service users themselves can then hold that landlord to account in terms of what your performance is like. You said that you were going to do X, but you failed to do that. How are you going to improve the situation to actually raise that service, the standard of that service that's being delivered? The landlords that you spoke to that weren't aware of actually asking these questions and putting this in place, were they aware that those standards had to apply to people living in brick and mortar houses? Did they apply the waiting times for doing repairs, etc? Were they aware that, if you live in a house, the waiting time was for five days or 24 hours? What was their excuse then for not applying those standards if they implemented those standards to folk living in houses? What was their excuse for not doing it to gypsy travellers? To be quite honest, it's not something that we explored with them. The fact that they had said that they didn't have a repairs target, for example, we asked that question in the survey. We then contacted them and spoke to them to confirm that fact. They did have targets for their housing accommodation, but they didn't have targets in relation to repairs for their gypsy traveller site. We left it at that, to be quite honest with you. It wasn't something that we explored in terms of why, at the end of the day, they weren't having in place those targets that we expected to see. Would that not have made the report a lot more powerful, then, if you'd had chance to ask those questions and put it in the report? It's difficult to do that over a phone situation. This was done by phone, the follow-ups to the survey. It's much more easy to do that in a face-to-face situation, where you have the ability to speak to managers. Would the service agreements and information regarding that not be on their websites? In relation to the houses, you will find it on their website. In relation to the gypsy travellers, there is very little information contained on one-word websites in relation to gypsy travellers. That was what part of our evidence gathering was that we actually did a trawl of all 21-word websites, just using standard search titles of gypsies, gypsy travellers, whatever, to see what that actually pulled forward. In relation to websites, the one-word website is very little there around gypsy travellers, targets, repairs and all that. I think that Christine Cafflay wants to come in. Just to add in relation to this, we are quite clear that this is something that landlords should be doing. The reason that we didn't explore any further, the reasons why landlords weren't applying repairs targets or other targets when they should, is that whatever the reason is, it's not good enough. The recommendation is quite clear that you need to be doing this, you need to be providing information about when you will be delivering a repair or some other service, you need to set timescales and make it clear when you will be carrying out a repair. Understanding the reasons why they're not doing that wouldn't have been a useful exercise for us. I hope that we've achieved with this inquiry that we have now made it clear to landlord that those charter standards and outcomes apply to gypsy travellers as much as they do to tenants of social housing. Thank you very much for answering that question. Christine Cafflay, I want to go back and try to close that conversation down on the price of the pitches for travellers sites. I see on 40 you've got a charter there which bears social landlords on average weekly pitch rent. You told us already that it's a very complicated picture. It's a very diverse type of site. Is there any value of trying to find out more why it can be double the price, the average weekly pitch rent could be double the price from one area to another one? There was no apparent link between the rents that were being charged and the services that were being provided. We weren't able to get under the rents, the pitch rents that were being charged to find out how they were built up and what they represented in terms of quality or level of service that was being provided. Could it be simply that the site providers are just taking what they're causing them to run the site? That may be a factor, but if we go back to the charter provisions, the charter provision talks about an affordable rent. Where I've got difficulties in relation to £40 versus £80, is that the same affordability for the individual concerned? That's the bit that I'm finding difficult to look at. Our recommendation in the report is that one-wars need to have some form of systematic methodology of coming up with their rents that actually stands scrutiny and is transparent. That's really what we're trying to get to. When we tried to explore how people had arrived at some of those rents, we didn't find a great deal of evidence of any kind of systems there at all. In some cases, they were related to bricks and mortar properties, but it was very difficult to see how a Gypsy Trafford pitch could be seen as an equivalent of a three- or a four-bedroomed house. It's difficult to see how people used that judgment to come up with a rent to say, well, it should be the same rent as a house for a Gypsy Trafford pitch. What we've said in here is that whatever is produced that needs to stand the charter test and the charter provisions are quite clear about the expectations of the Scottish Government around affordability and the like. That's the bit that we're looking to see as much more of an examination in the by-land wars and their customers to come up with a system that stands scrutiny. I've got two points about that. First of all, I think that we didn't explore the supply and demand, which is how brick and mortar works the same way as supply and demand. As you have a point as well, we had a lot about talking more about conversation between the landlord and Gypsy Traffords to discuss about rent charges. If you are, you don't want really to talk to your landlord too much about the level of rent charges because most of the time, as a tenant, you know that the discussion is going to go only one way, which is very seldom higher, not lower. I'm a bit concerned about the direction that we are taking, especially that there is no statutory powers to make it apart from recommendations. Recommendations to talk more on the level of rent could have adverse consequences. Engaging them in that dialogue and finding out what is affordable for users of those sites. Landlords cannot factor that into those calculations, along with other important factors that they must consider, unless they get those views from the people who use their sites. That's a very good point. We talked about affability, but do we know what is the level of affability? Do we know? Have we tried to put a figure? No. It's really for landlords to explore that with their tenants in terms of their houses and with Gypsy Clava residents in terms of the pitches. Landlords need to understand what is affordable for both those groups of service users and tenants. We can all agree that it's a very big picture and it's very difficult to find out. A last question, if I may have. We talked about diversity, but there is not so much diversity of ownership of the sites. Have you got any feedback from the Gypsy Travis community, but there will likely be more diversity of ownership of the sites? We looked at it as part of inquiry. In your conversation, did you hear anything? I think that the message from Gypsy Travellers that we talked to in 2012 in terms of finding out what their priorities were and the specific aspects of the charter was that the most important thing for them was to be involved in decisions that the landlords make about how investment is made in the sites and if there are to be upgrades on what that might be. The theme here is about understanding what it is that people who are using the sites want and need from their landlords. That discussion should encompass aspects of diversity. Do you have a discussion about whether there is no discussion of part ownership or involving them from Gypsy Travellers? You have no feedback at all on that? Not as part of this particular inquiry, no. To follow up on the affordable question, for bricks and mortar houses, affordable is because there is grant and the landlord would have had a hag for the house, so that brings the rent down to an affordable level. Does the same happen for Traveller sites? Can social rented landlords get a hag for the sites? In the past, there has certainly been grants. I think that they received money from the Scottish Government a couple of years ago, two or three years ago. There certainly is availability of Scottish Government money. There certainly has been in the past anyhow, and I am just trying to remember when that was. Was it maybe three years ago? That is right. Do you then—can you tell us what happens to this report in the future? Do you revisit this report or is it just more that in your annual assessment you will be expecting each social rented landlord going forward to be reporting back to you? Well, when there are a number of follow-up actions that we do propose to take, some of them are outlined in the initial statement, so we will be taking forward actions with regard to gypsy travellers directly and with other stakeholders, with the Scottish Government, with Elacio, with the site managers association as well. So there is a range of follow-up actions that we intend to take immediately in relation to the report. However, in the coming year, we will be looking at the annual returns that landlords will provide to us. We will be looking to see if there has been any shift in satisfaction levels. We will be looking at greater consistency around pitch rents as well and we will be following up with individual landlords that were part of this thematic inquiry around some individual findings. So we will be looking to see progress and improvement there. That is great. Thanks so much. Where a social landlord has more than one site, is there a variation in the pitch charge for different sites? I realise that an average was extrapolated in your table 2 at Paragraph 40, but that might just have been to add them all up together and do a division. That information is an average figure. We would not know that from the arc itself. Basically, what happens is that there is an annual return from the Swan Ward. What happens there is that the total amount of rent is provided and the total number of pitches is given and the computer basically produces the number for the average rent. We would not be able to tell from the annual return on charter whether there was a different rent regime across, for example, Acos, three sites in Argyll. Would that information be helpful? It is probably something that we could ask for. I would not have thought that there would be a difference in rents, but it is certainly something that we can check. Do you just think that it might illustrate if there is an attitude in policy? Sandra, you are very, very quick. Just very quickly, something that struck me. If you are a socially rented tenant and feel that your rent is too expensive, you can go to the fair rents regulator. Does the same work here as well? People who have the pitches and feel that their rent is too high, do they have that recourse as well? Does anybody else have any very brief questions to us? Thank you for coming along and thank everyone for their contributions this morning. I will now briefly suspend the meeting to allow witnesses to leave the room. Right. Agendum item 2 is consideration of the Scottish Government's correspondence on a SPICE update paper on Gypsy Travellers, which is paper 4. You have just heard evidence from the Scottish Housing Regulator in respect of their Gypsy Travellers report, a thematic inquiry, and SPICE has prepared a background briefing and all action taken by the committee and the Scottish Government to date in respect of the committee's inquiry into Gypsy Travellers. You have also received a letter from the Cabinet Secretary in response to correspondence that we issued on 30 September 2015. You are now asked to consider what action you would like to take forward. I now ask members for comments, please, on what you would like to do. Annabelle? Can I just put in record my appreciation of the evidence that we have just heard from the Scottish Housing Regulator witnesses? It seems to me that their report has constructed a basis, which is now going to be the foundation for future comparisons, and I think that that is a very welcome contribution to the debate. It seems to me in the back of what we have heard from them and on the excellent SPICE briefing for which I thank SPICE. I think that that has been a very, very useful sort of compendium, consolidating all that we have heard. I think that we should have another evidence-taking session. Okay. Anybody else have any comments or do you agree on that? John Finnie? I agree on that. Okay, thank you. John Mason. Sorry, who are we having evidence-taking session with? I think that we can discuss that and what we'll do is we'll get the clerks to bring forward a paper for discussion at the next meeting. Are you okay with that, everybody? John Finnie? I just make one very brief point, and I absolutely concur with what Annabelle said about our previous witnesses there. On the various points there, 26 has got nothing in either of the—and it says, need clear leadership to ensure distinct needs of gypsie trailers are covered. The fact that we've got nothing in the columns relating to actions against that suggests that we have some way to go, so I would hope at some point perhaps to get a minister in to discuss progress. Okay. If the committee agrees to produce a statement, we'll get the clerks to bring forward a draft for consideration, and we'll discuss that at our next meeting. Are you okay with that? Thank you very much, everybody, for your contribution this morning. That concludes today's meeting, and our next meeting will take place on Thursday 10 December.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzzhHnptpig", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Lesson planning is at least to some degree a vital function of teaching. The degree to which a lesson plan is necessary, is often directly proportional to the teaching experience of the teacher. The less experienced the teacher has the more necessary and beneficial the lesson plan is and vice versa. Lesson plans give the class structure, hold the teacher accountable, and function as a helpful aid, overall adding to the effectiveness of the class and the students' opportunity to learn. Structure of your class. Unit 9 from this course points out, that lesson plans can range anywhere from a few notes scribbled on a sheet of paper, to a more detailed outline of what will be presented in the lesson. Regardless of how short or lengthy the lesson plan is, more effective lesson plans incorporate a learning objective. A learning objective is a specific measurable student outcome. If the lesson that day is using by plus jaren to describe how to do things, the learning objective could then be, students will be able to use by plus jaren to describe how to do things. A good way to improve your accent is by talking with native speakers. Learning objectives tell the students exactly what they will learn that day, and create a focus from which all other class activities can be centered around. This focus creates structure. The more organized in structure the class is, the more clear the lesson becomes and clarity makes it easier for students to learn. Checklist. Having tasks are written down holds the teacher more accountable and carrying them out. Completing tasks is rewarding and by being able to check them off either physically or mentally, teachers gain a stronger sense of achievement as they go along. Having a visual format of the lesson plan can also give a better estimate, of how much time to spend on each subsequent task, helping improve time management and efficiency with the lesson. Teachers forget things too. Have a physical guide to refer to can pull them out of a stuck or drawing a blank moment. Having a lesson plan that hits on a few important points for the day, might also serve as a reminder to the teacher what needs to be discussed, and aid the teacher in a smoother transition from one topic to the next. This is especially beneficial in longer more intensive lessons. After more if the teacher can't make it to work, having a prepared lesson plan to fall back on can reduce stress for the initial teacher, and the substitute teacher relevantly guiding the class regardless of who's teaching it. Do you want to teach English abroad? Take a TEFL course today. In conclusion no matter what, which way a teacher plans a lesson, having something is better than nothing. The most effective lessons are well thought out and prepared in advance. This is lesson planning. Although incorporating a learning objective into the lesson plan is important, it is also important to keep in mind simplicity and flexibility when planning a lesson. Lesson plans are best for guiding the lesson, not dominating it. Ultimately it is up to the teacher to decide, how they want to plan their lessons, and what works best for her or him in the classroom. Thanks so much for watching.

This is the OTP and no matter what's going on, no matter where it's going on, Amy Wells is always here. Amy Wells, hello. Hello, Mike Keith. You should say that with like joy and excitement. Amy's here. I think I did. I thought I did, but even more exciting. No offense to Amy, but even more exciting. The great Jim Wyatt is back as part of the OTP. Jim Wyatt, welcome back. We are so glad to have you rejoin us. Glad to be back. This is my first time on Zoom. My wife is a school teacher, so she's been working on Zoom all week from the house and this is my first experience. So it's glad to be doing OTP and doing it on Zoom. This is Friday, April the 3rd as we tape this. There has been some news this week. And the news really emanated from some conference calls that John Robinson and Mike Grable did with the media on Wednesday. And those conference calls were not only well listened to, but there were a lot of great questions. I guess overall, John Robinson's lasted about 40 minutes, Mike Grable's lasted more than a half hour. Jim Wyatt, I'll let you go first and then Amy, I'll let you chime in. In the general manager's conference call, what jumped out to you? Well, I think just the fact that he was willing to talk about Jadavion Clowney and make it known that the team does have some interest in him is obviously curious to see how things develop with him. I think we've all seen Jadavion Clowney start off with the $20 million price tag and it's since dropped to $17 million a year, which is a heck of a bargain. That's pretty much getting him for free at that point. So it's just a matter of what the team might be comfortable with there. Mike Grable knows him and I'm getting into the Grable conference call a little bit in him's addressing it as well. But I think just the fact that John Robinson was willing to at least discuss him says a guy we've had some contact with and now we'll all have to kind of see how things go from here. That's what was most intriguing to me. I thought that John Robinson and how transparent he was with the adaptations that they're needing to make because of the current state of the nation right now in the world really. I thought it was really interesting that he was so willing to talk about the fact that they're doing conference calls, the fact that everybody's working out of their own homes and they're just kind of trying to figure out this new normal throughout a pre-draft process that is so rigid and consistent and these guys do the exact same thing. They have a very structured process. So the fact that they're not only making changes, but he was able to discuss those and was relatively open about what they're doing and where things are kind of hard, but what they're willing to do to try and circumvent just some of the circumstances that are presenting themselves right now that no one can do anything about. But I thought it was really interesting that he was so willing to talk about it. You know what got me, Amy, more than anything else that he said about football and he did delve into more specifics football wise than he normally does, which I thought was great. But his comments about the death of Joe Diffie making this COVID-19 situation so real for him, quite telling and I think for a lot of people they're having the same experiences in the reality of, you know, some of our favorite TV hosts have it and are dealing with it. Tom Hanks dealt with it and his wife Rita Wilson and Joe Diffie, somebody that a lot of people in Titans Nation knew very well, very telling and very insightful from John Robinson. There's no question. And you know, just the fact that while the conference call was going on, you hear his doorbell ring and it kind of speaks to, you know, the world we're living in today. John Robinson not sitting in his office on the second floor of St. Thomas Sports Park is doorbell. He's got a pretty elaborate doorbell ring. Nice doorbell. And he cracked a joke saying, hey, that's probably the 9,000th Amazon package that had been dropped off there and talked about how the recycling bin has been, you know, filled up on a pretty regular basis. So just different times that we're living in and, you know, everything from what he's doing from a work standpoint to where he's working and such, you know, really unpredictable times. Let me ask you first, Amy, Mike Vrabel's conference call. I'll let you go first on this one and then have Jim chime in. What did you think was interesting from the head coach? With Mike Vrabel's conference call, I thought it was interesting for almost the exact opposite reason. So while John was talking about all of the changes they're making and adapting to what's going on, Mike Vrabel basically said, I expect this team to make a jump from last year to the 2020 season regardless of circumstance. So while he acknowledged that things are different during the preseason and the way that guys are getting prepared and are learning this playbook and the way that they are working out and taking care of their bodies is changing a little bit. He doesn't really care. I think he never leaned on anything as an excuse for anything less than what he expects to see out of this team whenever guys are able to get back in the building. So I thought that the parallels between the two were interesting, whereas one guy was talking about the adaptation and making changes. The other guy pretty much said, I expect these guys to be ready to go no matter what. Yeah, I'm going to go with, and I don't think he never was surprised because he raved about Logan Woodside at the Combine in February, but he was asking again about Logan Woodside and kind of took an opportunity to kind of give him some more praise. That's one of the biggest questions I have is this team moves forward. A lot of them still because this team still has holes. But what's going to happen at the number two QB spot behind Ryan Tainihill? Because Logan Woodside is currently the only quarterback on the roster. So he talked more in depth just about Woodside and his work ethic and what he did when he was on the injured reserve last year, just the amount of respect that Coach O'Hara has for him and OC coach Arthur Smith. So that's interesting. And we'll see. I mean, there's a draft coming up with a lot of other quarterback prospects in it. There's a free agency class that still has some intriguing players in it. So where that ends up going, I'm intrigued by, and just to hear him talk again about Woodside, kind of piqued my interest a little back. So he just wrote a story about it, you know, just to kind of see where things go from here. Jim, Derek Henry signed his tender after both, especially John Robinson, had nice things to say about how Henry and his representatives had handled the franchise process and they were going to keep working and they wanted to find a long term solution. And it didn't seem like it was minutes after that, it was a little longer. But then we learned that Henry has signed the franchise tender. The way it feels to everyone I talk with is that can be nothing but great news. Am I reading it wrong? No, you're reading it wrong. I think it's a show of good faith by Derek Henry, the fact that he's saying, okay, I'm going to be here. I'm going to be working out with the team. I'm not going to be a holdout. I'm not going to be a distraction. I think the way it was communicated, the communication I think Derek Henry had with the team and John Robinson had with his agent during the course of this whole deal leading up to the tag after the tag leads you to believe that these two sides are working in good faith and want to get something done and we'll see what happens from here. The biggest question I've gotten through this whole thing is why extend Taney Hill and give him a long-term deal and not Henry? And I don't think it's because the two sides are not working together in good faith. It's just the Taney Hill deal was able to come together quicker. They want to get ahead of the quarterback market and we're able to do that. And now it's a matter of whether they can get something done with Derek Henry and in the meantime, he's on the $10.2 million salary, which is not too bad. Did anybody really think that Derek Henry would hold out anyway? I mean, you can't keep this man out of a gym to save your life. I mean, there's no way that he's going to skip workouts. He loves working out. It's all over social media. The man loves to exercise. Even before he signed and there were questions about whether or not he'd be a holdout, I couldn't help but think, what's he going to be holding out from? I don't think anybody really knows whether we're going to have OTAs, whether we're going to have many camps, whether we're even being business until late January of then. So I think in the meantime, it is nice to have this one settled for the time being and then hopefully it's two sides to working good faith. You know, John didn't make it sound like something's happening this week or next week. His focus is on the draft right now. His focus is going to be on trying to fine tune the roster after that. So maybe a while before something gets settled, but at least the two sides are on the same page. It's smart in a lot of ways for Derek Henry. First of all, smart PR wise that he never complained. At this time, nobody wants to hear somebody complain about making nearly $10.3 million. Second part is, with things as they are right now, it's a smart move, you know, sort of a bird in a hand type situation. The other thing that I think it's smart is that you get this done, you go ahead and sign this and you know that you're part of this team before the draft. Because what happens if the Titans have a running back at the top of their board and he's there on April the 23rd, then does that change the dynamic? I think everything works in Derek Henry's favor by going ahead and signing at this point. I mean, we don't know what's going to happen. Nobody knows what's going to happen in anything. But I think it benefits him, Jim, in every way to do it. It certainly falls right in line with who he is. And Amy touched on this, and this guy wants to play. He's never complained about money. He's always made pretty good money because obviously he has endorsements outside of his football salary. So it's not like he's ever been broke since he came into the league. I just think Derek Henry has a smart approach as a football player, as a business person and, quite frankly, as a human being. I agree with that. Now, in the meantime, the debate will continue about what a contract might look like, because while there were a lot of people that were saying, well, again, why didn't Derek Henry get a long term deal? We're upset with him. I mean, a lot of national analysts who were kind of sounding off a little bit about the Titans, about how he cured this team, why wasn't he rewarded? Not Valentino, but since the tag's been put on, I was watching last night. And one analyst was saying that they wouldn't get Derek Henry a long term deal if he did. It better be one that's not going to bite you like some of these other contracts, because we've seen what's happened to Todd Gurley. We've seen what's happened to Levy on Bell. We've seen what's happened to David Johnson since, you know, been traded after getting that big deal in Arizona. So the debate will continue about what a deal looks like and whether or not the team should even give them one, knowing you can use the tag again next year. Now, that's when I think you create some hard feelings. If you try to do it two years in a row, and that's obviously something that will be considered as well. Titans have until July the 15th, however, to get something done. So still plenty of time. Speaking of contracts, Titans confirmed Vic Beasley's contract. Pass rusher coming over from the Atlanta Falcons. And then Amy Wells, John Robinson, dropped the bomb on everybody, too. That Kamalae Correa re-signed with the Titans. Did that surprise you at all after the Vic Beasley thing, after the Reggie Gilbert thing, after some of the things they've been doing at Outside Linebacker? A little bit. It was surprising to me that that position has seemed to have had so much of a concentrated focus. And I mean, John Robinson has addressed that a little bit in the past, just saying some of these contracts just kind of come together quicker than others. So while to us who have no idea what he's kind of doing on a day to day basis, it looks like a very concentrated effort has been put on Outside Linebacker. In reality, what's probably happening is those contracts are just kind of all happening in ways that are agreeable to both parties. But I'm happy for Kamalae Correa. I'm glad that he's still going to be with the team. I think that he's a guy who can fill a lot of different spots within the defense and also on special teams. So I think that that's a really versatile piece for this team to have. And with the experience that he has with the Ball Club, I think any sort of veteran kind of understanding is going to be so valuable to this Titans team, especially in the 2020 season. So I think investing in some of those pieces that can help out in a lot of different areas can only benefit the team. Really played well, Jim, the second half of the year, not just rushing the passer, but he played well against the run. He did. And I think the fact now that you can work with Landry, you can work with Beasley and now have Correa be a part of that mix along with some other guys who can give you more of a rotation. I think that's the positive. I think one thing I ought to point out, because this is just more of a sign of the times that we're in. The team has been, you know, obviously a little bit slower to announce some of these moves just because you can't. And it was 10 days probably after the Beasley deal was out before that it appeared before the team announced it and it was on Titans online. And that's been the case with some of these other contracts as you have to wait for players to get physicals and wait for the paperwork to come through. So some people might wonder who read Titans online on a regular basis, which is now officially TennesseeTitans.com. Like we've announced that, but that's in the process of being changed. But people that are checking the website think, well, why hasn't Correa news or the Crawford news been posted on the website? Because it still has not officially been released by the team. John Robinson said it, but I think the paperwork and kind of dotting all the I's and crossing the T's, that part has still not been done. I think those players have signed on their end, but then it has to be sent to the team. The team has to finish off the paperwork. You still have to go through some procedural stuff that you don't have to do when guys can come in the building and sign. So in time, you know, it may be next week, the team will officially announce Crawford and Correa as additions. And guys, the teams agreed to terms on. But as of now, John Robinson has said it on a conference call. But I think Van Marino, who works on the contracts, I don't think he's at a place where he's ready to give the complete go ahead on those. And that's the and that's the days that we're working under right now. As we entered the offseason, we thought there was a very good chance that the Titans would select an outside linebacker with their first pick at number 29. But right now, they have Vic Beasley, Kamala Correa, Derek Roberson, Harold Landry, Reggie Gilbert, Deandre Walker and Josh Smith at that position. So it feels like I mean, they could line up and play Sunday with that group of guys. Now, here's the flip side of that. The only guy that they have under contract for next year, 2021 would be Harold Landry, who would be under contract for one more year. And obviously they've got Deandre Walker under his first contract as well. So, Jim White, I'll ask you first and then I'll have Amy chime in. Is there still a chance knowing that down the road factor is there, even if they seem to have good depth right now, could they still take an outside linebacker or no at number one? Or do you think that's unlikely? Well, I wouldn't rule it out just because we've seen a lot of these drafts over the years and I'm going all the way back to, you know, Jevon Curse in 99, the first years of Titans, when no one thought he'd be hanging around and then he ends up being there. So if somebody with great value happens to be still on the board at pick number 29, he's a guy you just can't pass up, I still wouldn't rule it out because a lot of the guys you just mentioned, some of them are proven players like Beasley, Landry's still developing. I thought Correa obviously made great strides and ended with a bang last year. But you've got a lot of guys that are still developing like Walker and Roberson and I guess Gilbert for that matter that you just don't know exactly what you have and now we've got an offseason coming up where you just don't know how much you're going to be able to work with them. So if you can add another dynamic player to that group, more of a sure thing, not that there are any sure things coming out of the draft, then I think you'd have to at least consider it. I don't think that you can count it out for the reasons that Jim just said. However, I do think that looking at the amount of depth that they have, even though it's not long term contractually, I think that there are other more immediate positions of need that the team could want to address with someone who is more of a sure player you presume in a first round draft thick. All right, Amy, so let me jump in there and I'll get you to follow this. Let me read these names. Malcolm Butler, Dory Jackson, Chris Milton, Kareemore, Kenneth Durden. That right now is the listing of all of the Titans cornerbacks. So in terms of need, it would seem like that is number one. Mike Keith, that may have been what I was alluding to. Look at that. Yeah, I mean, as of corners right now, slim pickings. So I could see, especially in a draft like the one that we have right now, where the group of defensive backs as a whole is rather impressive, that seems like an area that I'm not John Robinson. But if I were, I would be snooping around the DBs a little bit. All right, Tim White, let me ask you about the news that was reported earlier this week that the NFL's 2020 schedule will not be out probably until at least May the 9th. What is the NFL doing with the extra time in your opinion? Well, I think, you know, and I haven't seen anybody say this, but I mean, I just can't help but wonder if they're trying to buy themselves some extra time, just to see what more develops here with the virus. And I think the last thing you want to do is put a schedule out and have teams start planning. And then, you know, the longer this date keeps moving back as far as when it's looking like life could return to normal, if it continues to be pushed back, then you might have to make some adjustments on the front end of the schedule. I don't know that, man. Everything from the league has been optimistic. We expect to start the season on time. We expect to play a full 16 games. We expect to have fans in the stands for the games. We expect to have the London games and international games. But I think right now it's hard to say that for sure, because you just don't know what's going to happen. I mean, every day that passes by, every week that passes by, you're starting to see more cancellations and they're going into deeper into deeper into the summer. And I think the hope is that everything will start on time. But I have to think that part of the reason for the delay is that they want to see what happens with the virus. Now, with all that said, I'd heard probably a month and a half ago that the schedule might not come out until May. So there might be some other reasons behind it that I'm not aware of. And that one, again, this was before the virus was even a big part of the conversation. I heard it was going to be later this year and after the draft. So it might be some other things in play as far as TV and travel. And I think the bottom line too, Amy, we felt like the schedule was going to come out in May before we ever knew anything about COVID-19. Because, and Jim touched on it, the league wants a May type event. And they didn't think the schedule got enough attention because it usually came out a week to 10 days before the draft. Right. We had this conversation all the way back at the combine that, well, yes, it seems now in this climate, like it buys the league some time, they also kind of had a gap post draft and pre off season workouts, really getting into effect, pre OTAs, where there was just kind of this dead period. And there's all this excitement about teams and it kind of drops off. So we had, you and I had kind of had the conversation about whether they were moving the announcement of the regular season schedule back a little bit, just to try and maintain some of that excitement from the draft. Obviously, there's a ticket sales component. Obviously, you want to keep the national football league in the news. And that's a way to do it. Let me ask you about expanded playoffs. Amy, I'll let you go first. Now I'm going to have 14 teams in the playoffs, seven in each conference. One will get a buy, two will play seven, three will play six, four will play five. The game times central time will be 1205, 340 and 715 on Saturday and Sunday. So we'll have three Saturday games, three Sunday games. Do you like it? I like it. I like the wall to wall football at a time when football is the most exciting. I like the buy thing doesn't really bother me. Like one team gets a buy. Great. Enjoy it. That doesn't bother me. What I don't like is the prospect of an eight and eight team, which is a totally average season and you end up in the playoffs. That bothers me. I think and just per numbers. I mean, that could happen sometimes. But you know what? Just to jump in, one of the things they studied is how many of the seven seeds would have had losing records over the last 30 years? Yeah. How many of the seven seeds would have been eight and eight? How many would have been nine and seven so on and so forth? It was way skewed towards teams with winning records. Right. They've only been one team with a losing record that would have made it. And very few eight and eight teams as well. So I don't think that's going to happen a lot. Yeah. And that's, I mean, that's my biggest kind of issue is those bubble teams that are eight and eight have an average season and then end up not only backing in, but then like ruining someone else's season who had a really strong season. And then you lose to the eight and eight team that got in through the back door. I mean, in five years, it won't seem like the back door. In five years, it'll be play better because this is the reality of the playoffs. But for the first couple of seasons, some little average team comes in and screws up the tightens chances of going to the Super Bowl and I'm going to be hot. So let's make sure that doesn't happen. I don't like the thought of teams below 500 getting in, but I do like the thought of the excitement and keeping a lot of other teams seasons meaningful down the stretch. Because the last thing you want to see is team that are trying to get in and playing against a team that's pretty much playing out the strings. So the more teams that you can have involved in competing in the final week of the season, I think the better. I think the biggest help to all of it's going to be weeks 14, 15, 16 and 17, because more teams are still going to be in it. I mean, you could be four and eight after 12 games, but you're saying, you know what, if we win our last four, we're still alive. We're still alive. We've got a chance to go to the playoffs. And so for a fan base, for people who sell tickets, for television, anytime you can have it be meaningful, it's better. All right. So are you ready to go over some of the mock drafts and what they're saying about the tightens right now? Jim White does this. I guess you do it early in the week, don't you, Jim? It's turned into a Monday gathering. And I think maybe I had 35, 36 of them. And the closer we get to the draft, the more I see people weighing on mock drafts, even people that have not done them. I'm surprised how much they change from week to week, but it has shifted. I mean, Ed Ruscher before the Beasley move and before the Correa move was kind of the position that a lot of people seem to be pegging for the tightens. Now it has switched to offensive tackle. I'm going to throw them out here and I'll let Jim react first and then Amy can react second. All right. Here we go. Our friend Charles Davis in his latest mock has the tightens selecting at number 29, Josh Jones, offensive tackle Houston. And he has been a popular one. Several guys had Jones going and certainly an intriguing prospect, the guy who would battle obviously with Dennis Kelly. Yeah, I like that idea. I like the idea of bringing in someone to be a part of the offensive line, add some competition for Dennis Kelly. I like that. I'm okay with that, Charles. Good pick. Sporting news also says the Titans will select Josh Jones. So I go to si.com and Jim Wyatt. They say Jeff Gladney, cornerback Texas Christian. I think that's another need. And we just talked earlier just about how thin the team is. That could change. I mean, the only guy we haven't mentioned here so far is Logan Ryan, and he remains a free agent. And if let's say something gets worked out with him, is that as much of a need. Now, Dory will have a year, assuming his option years picked up. He'll be back next year. Butler has a contract that would have him here as well. Logan Ryan, we're not sure how that was going to look out, look like. But a lot hinges on Logan, and if he is not back, I think that makes cornerback even more. But option if it's not one to begin with, and Gladney seems to be a guy that a lot of people are pegging to the Titans as well. I said at the beginning, I think that corner is definitely a spot where the Titans should be looking. You always need depth at that spot. Always, always, always. Bring in someone who could be a contributor early, who's a good player. I think that would be great. I'm in with that. All right. The last mock that I've got for you at number 29, Will Brinson says the Tennessee Titans select, DeAndre Swift running back Georgia. He'd be fun to have him. I mean, you talk about a good one-two punch with Derek Kennery. I mean, this team needs a number two running back. I mean, I'm not trying to slight Dalen Dawkins, who is going to be given a chance as well. But I do think the team has potential to upgrade on DeAndre Lewis, who wasn't much of a factor last season, and just how early the team decides to address that position. I'm curious to see. Swift, and using to pick that early, I'd be a little bit skeptical about that, just because you've got your work course in Henry, and you can find running backs later in the draft, to have some popping and produced personally. And I'm biased a little bit, because I watched this guy play so much. I think Keishaan Vaughn would be a great tandem with Derek Kennery, just because of the speed and his ability to catch up all the backfield. He's running back out of Vanderbilt. But Swift, while it sounds exciting, I'm skeptical of the Titans going that early with the running back. I agree with Jim. I think that while he would be a really fun guy to have be part of the Tennessee Titans, I think that it's unlikely given some of the other needs that a running back would be taken in that spot. And I think you can get running backs elsewhere for a better value. All right. So both of you kind of frown on that one. But that's good stuff. And you're going to have a review of a lot more mocks at TennesseeTitans.com, right, Jim? That's right. We're going to do this every week, leading up to the draft, which is crazy. The NFL just keeps on rolling. I know this COVID-19 has slowed down the world, but the league keeps going. I initially wondered whether it was a smart move to have free agency in its original date, but so much going on. But I think the way things have played out and the fact that this pandemic is going to get worse is the weeks go by before it gets better. I think it was a smart move to have free agency when it was held. And now I think the draft is going to be a welcome relief to a lot of people. It's sad to see what's going on across the world, especially in this country. And it's going to be scary here over the next couple of weeks. It will be nice to have a draft to look forward to, and at least to know what your team is going to be, even if there is going to be time when you're not on the field helping guys get better. And with that said, the Montdrafts will continue each money leading up to this big event on the 23rd to 25th. At TennesseeTitans.com, the new name. The new name? I don't know if that has officially been announced. I think they're wanting to get Jeff Harding, who is such a whiz, working on things behind the scenes. I know he is wanting to get all the kinks worked out before we promote that too much, but it seems like that has gone off well so far. I've even had a couple of people text me and email me, hey, when did the switch take place? I said, well, it happened earlier this week. It just has not been announced yet, but that's where it's going to be. TennesseeTitans.com. We have something to look forward to on the OTP, a couple of different things. Early next week, Amy Wells, another in-year series with Titans Radio's draft duo, Coach Dave Beginnis, and also Rhett Bryant. And what position are you focusing on? We are doing the defensive line. Oh, that's an area of need for the Titans? Well, it sure is. So we're excited about that. Lots of, lots to talk about. And then next Thursday, we really have something to look forward to. Jim White, you won't believe this, but it's true. Mike Vrable is going to be our guest on the OTP. And I know we're big time. And Mike Vrable is going to answer questions from the OTP. Amy Wells, tell people and we're going to continue to promote this and hopefully everybody will help us get the word out.

UCBBd3JxQl455JkWBeulc-9w	Island Avatars: Simulating Social-Ecological Systems	Island Avatars: Simulating Social-Ecological Systems \| April 13, 2016 \| 11:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. \| 190 Doe Library, UC Berkeley We will present how ETH Zurich and the University of California are working together to build the first full-scale simulation of a complex social-ecological system. The Island Digital Ecosystem Avatar (IDEA) is an open science initiative to build use-oriented simulations (avatars) of entire systems starting with the island of Moorea, French Polynesia. The Moorea IDEA is a sustainability simulator modeling links and feedbacks between climate, environment, biodiversity, and human activities across a coupled marine-terrestrial landscape. The resulting knowledge and tools will help predict human and natural change at scales relevant to management/conservation actions. We will present progress to date in building this powerful new tool for scenario-based planning, education, and local population engagement.

On behalf of ETH Zurich, I welcome you to this event here at UC Berkeley. Let me first thank our host UC Berkeley. Very good friends of ETH. Lots of collaboration between individuals, professors, students exchange, but also in the context of YARU, the International Alliance of Research Universities, of which both of these fine institutions are members of. Now, this is part of a series of events which has been going on in the past few days here in the Bay Area of San Francisco. There's actually going to be another event of the series ATO meets California this afternoon here also at UC Berkeley on earthquakes. Another important topic, an interesting topic and you're more than welcome to also join this one. There's flyers lying there and please pick up one. Now, I'm really excited about this particular event. I learned about this about two years ago when I read an article in Nature. I didn't know about the project, obviously. I didn't know the involvement of Matthias Royer et al. And that was actually, I think on the way back from Fiji, I do spend quite a bit of time in Fiji and do research there. So I'm naturally attached and feel very comfortable with those kind of pictures which you saw before of these nice ecosystems. And I'm really looking forward to learn more about this exciting project. So I hand over to Neil. Thank you very much. Thanks so much. Yes, so my name is Neil Davies. I'm a senior fellow here at BIDS and executive director of Berkeley's research station in Morayah, the Gump station. So first of all, thanks to BIDS, the Berkeley Institute for Data Science for hosting us here and Eric for this great space that we have. And I'm going to introduce each of the speakers as we go through the presentation. But at the end, Russell Schmidt, who's a professor at UC Santa Barbara, will say a few concluding remarks and moderate a short question and answer session. But first of all, it's a pleasure to recognize the collaboration we have with ETH Zurich and to kick off the first presentation, a remote presentation from Nicholas Gruber, who's pre-recorded his presentation with Matthias Munich. Matthias Munich is here on the robot somewhere. He's here on the screen to respond to questions afterwards. But first of all, we'll pick off the video. I just want to mention that we are live streaming the event and we also will have a Twitter hashtag. The hashtag is ETH2, the number two, CAL for California, ETH2Cal. Good afternoon, a warm welcome. My name is Nicky Gruber and I'm a professor for environmental physics here at ETH Zurich. And I give this presentation together with Matthias Munich, who's a senior researcher in my research group. When we think about Moria, then we usually think about the coral reefs and the wonderful location this island provides to people. But as a species that normally lives on land, we do hardly imagine how big and vast the oceans are. Imagine yourself sitting on a satellite way above the Pacific. And there's going to be a point where you hardly see any land. All you see is the ocean. And Moria sits more or less in the center of that vast ocean area, the Pacific. It's in fact one of the largest biomes on the earth. So if you are interested in understanding and predicting how the wonderful ecosystems in Moria will evolve in the future, what impact climate change will have on these ecosystems, how humans will impact that system, then it's important that we do not only consider the local processes, but consider that Moria sits inside this fantastically large biome, the Pacific ocean. In my presentation today, I would like to illustrate two reasons why we explicitly need to think about those connections between the large scale, the processes that occur on scales of hundreds or thousands of kilometers, and the local processes that we're ultimately interested in understanding in order to predict what happens to individual corals and individual ecosystems. The first example is unfolding as we speak. It's the 2015-2016 El Nino. It's well familiar to you because it brings the badly needed rainwater to you that you have been hoping for so for so many years. But the major changes El Nino causes occur in the Pacific Ocean. As you see in this animation, the temperature anomalies are primarily located near the equator. These are the warm and red colors you see evolving through time. And we see that a very large fraction of the tropical Pacific has temperature, which are in exceedance of two degrees. The reason for why we have these SST anomalies are because the ocean and the atmosphere interact with each other in that region. And so we have changes in trade winds. We have ocean dynamics. All of these processes together lead to these complex patterns of warming. But this warming has also impact on Maria and the coral reefs around it. When temperatures go above a certain threshold, then actually the Sontella D, algae that live inside the corals will actually leave the coral and the coral has no longer the food available that it needs to grow. It can survive this condition of bleaching as we call it for a while, but if the Sontella do not come back, the coral eventually dies. In this figure taken from the coral watch from the NOAA website shows the current level of threat in the Pacific Ocean. Wherever we see orange and red colors, we have high levels of alert, meaning there's a good chance that the coral reefs in this area will bleach in the coming weeks. Here's actually the forecast for April and May of this year, and we see that Maria actually will probably be exposed to higher levels of threat. We have heard the news about the coral bleaching in the Great Bear Reef of Australia. It's very likely that actually Maria Tahiti of French Polynesia will experience a similar event in the coming weeks. This is even more specifically depicted here in this detailed map, also from the NOAA website that shows the threat levels for April and May of this year. For an area around 100 by 100 kilometers around Maria. And we are in the orange to red colors, meaning there's a very high chance that the major bleaching event will occur. But it's not temperature change alone that we're worried about. It's also ocean acidification. As humans have added CO2 to the atmosphere, the CO2 does not only cause warming, but also ocean acidification. This is caused by the fact that the ocean takes up that CO2 from the atmosphere and that CO2 reacts with water liberating protons, i.e. we see a reduction in pH. Corals do not look like low pH waters. In these natural experiments by Fabrizios and colleagues from the Great Bear Reef, they have looked at places where conditions are naturally low in pH. On the left-hand side, you see an image that shows the corals in conditions of more or less today's ocean, pH around 8. In the center, you see another side where the pH is about 0.1 lower and you see already much less the abundance of corals less diversity. On the right-hand side, in conditions reflecting maybe at the end of the century, we no longer see any corals. So this drop in pH, particularly in the saturation state with regard to the mineral that they form, this calcium carbon mineral called aragonite, is very detrimental to the corals. So let's take a look at the global scale, what that means. These are model results from 1765 and they show the saturation state across the globe. Wherever we see red colors, these are conditions of high super-saturations, those are the conditions that corals like. And if you look at the black points where they are, these are indications where we find coral reefs today, they're all inside red and dark red colors, meaning these optimal conditions. Now as we move forward to 1995, we see that this area of super-saturation, of high super-saturation has shrunken, but still the majority of coral reefs are inside. Now fast forward to the future, 2014 and 2100, we see that that region of red colors disappear and we have bluish colors for most of the regions for coral reefs, which are sort of marginal conditions for corals. So we don't only have this threat of global warming, we also have this threat of ocean acidification. And both are processes that occur on large scales and global scales, but have impact locally on Moria. So how do we address this big challenge of scales? Our proposition is to use a sort of a novel telescopic grid configuration of a regional ocean modeling system that we have developed here at ETH, where we put Moria at the center. That allows us to model essentially the processes occurring around Moria with very, very high resolution. But at the same time, this model is embedded in the whole Pacific, allowing us to look at the connection between whole Pacific processes and the local processes around Moria. And I show you here an animation, a prototype animation of the sea surface temperature of this model. And as we zooming in, you see first the large scale details, the large scale temperature gradients between the poles and equator. But as we zoom in, we see more and more essentially fluctuations. These are turbulent structures that are so common in the ocean. But we also see how these create essentially highly variable environment that we need to take into consideration when addressing what's happening around Moria. This model contains not only physics, but also representations of the ecosystems and also representation of biogeochemistry so we can address not only the changes in physics but also the interaction with biology and biogeochemistry. So in conclusion, when we think about Moria, it's important that we do not just focus on the local processes but recognize that those local processes are influenced by large scale processes requiring us to think across scales. And we think we have the right tool available to address that connection between Pacific scale processes and local processes at Moria. I said I would like to thank you for your attention and also would like to hand over to Matt Munich who will be here to address any questions you might have. Thank you very much. So thanks to Nicky. So for my section I'm just going to follow up that Nicky presented there and Matt the large scale changes that are happening across the Pacific Ocean and indeed across the planet. So the title of my section of the presentation is really inspired by this committee report that the US National Science Foundation put together to look at the next 10 years of environmental research priorities. And in the context of all these global changes the report here so we obviously have to anticipate what the future is going to be like and yes we do need to adapt to it but can we go one step further and not only adapt but also try to change the socio-environmental trajectory so we can target and design resilience, well-being and prosperity into the future despite these changes and the same of which we can't reverse anytime soon. So that's really the emerging sort of new field of sustainability science which is inherently an interdisciplinary approach physical, biological and also social but it's also a systems approach and as Nicky mentioned the system in this case is the whole planet so we really need to look at these processes at the scale of the system which is the planet whether it's ocean acidification or the atmospheric impacts but of course that's affecting life and life is feeding back onto the planet too so we can't just look at the physical processes we have to look at how biology is behaving and particularly one species, humans and we're influenced by our environment but we also are very much influencing the environment but to understand that feedback particularly from the biology we need to understand things at the scale of a molecule genomes and molecular pathways ocean acidification for example we need to know the calcification process that goes on within corals what genomic variation there might be among species of corals in that process and even among individuals of the same species where there's variation and how will they cope and respond to lower pH so we absolutely have to work at the molecular level as well as going up to the systems level the planetary scale so it's an approach, a systems approach which is genome up and planet down so that's a complex problem to put it mildly planet is pretty big and if we have to integrate everything from these molecular processes up to the planetary processes it's overwhelming complexity that we're faced with and what we're trying to build is this avatar of the celestial representation of model of how the earth behaves so we can understand what's coming in the future and adapt and even design a better future now we've faced this sort of overwhelming complexity before we're currently still facing it when we try for example in biomedical research so in other aspects of science in biomedical research we're trying to understand the human organism which is probably one of the most complex things in the universe to do this in biomedical research we have a lot of simpler model organisms just a handful for example C. elegans here and nematode worm we still have to go from molecule and cell but we only have to go up to this little worm not all the way up to the complex human to understand a lot of the processes and how they function and medicine has benefited a lot from this research already but in the context of sustainability our model systems they're not going to be model organisms they're going to be model ecosystems and so our approach is really instead of going up to the molecule but instead of going up to the whole planet we can go up to something a lot simpler like a small island and the small island just as Drosophila Melanogaster the fruit fly is a model organism for genomics for ecology the small islands are our model ecosystems so actually what we want to study about those model ecosystems this was phrased most eloquently by Paul Gauguin he's very influenced by the islands of Polynesia so basically we want to see where did the island come from how did the system get to be what it is today what is it today we have to understand what it is and how it functions at the moment and where is it heading what's the future going to be like so we know where we've come from we came from a natural earth where humans didn't exist and Darwin pointed that out to us Darwin also instantly strongly influenced the scientific islands in his thinking and where are we heading well we're heading if we're not there already to an anthropogenic earth or the Anthropocene an earth dominated by human activity so at the scale of the planet that's overwhelmingly complex as I said but our approach here is to go down to small islands and to study those small islands as microcosms model systems across this spectrum from natural to the most human dominated but at the scale of the most human dominated small islands like Singapore or Manhattan so our colleagues here at ETH Zurich have been really pioneering the way with their studies in Singapore an island very dominated by human activity and the sister institute to bids groups at NYU in New York are doing similar kinds of approaches to Manhattan so there's a lot we can learn from these studies on human dominated but what about the the natural end of the spectrum so if we're going to look for a place where humans are having somewhat minimum impact that's hard to find these days but the last place on earth that humans got to and started to impact are the Polynesian islands, the islands of eastern Polynesia which of course are influenced by humans today but still retain somewhat their natural systems so the island of Moria as Nicky pointed out is really in the center of the Pacific Ocean as this graphic thanks to Google Earth shows very clearly Moria is part of the French overseas country of French Polynesia which is a self governing overseas country of France it's a small country with 118 islands about 300,000 just under 300,000 people but it actually controls 5 million square kilometers of marine real estate so a big chunk of the earth is actually French Polynesia is the stewards of this of this large area so on Moria it's a rather exceptionally attractive island but it's also unusual in another way in that it hosts two international research stations so the French station here Creole which is part of the the French National Center for Scientific Research since 1971 and since 1985 Berkeley has had a lab there the Gump Research Station on land donated by Richard Gump to the University of California in the early 1980s so we collaborate and the foundation for a lot of the projects we're talking about today is really this collaboration between the two stations the French and the American stations on Moria and now an expanded collaboration with other institutions around the world and the joint efforts was this Moria Biocode project which was to sequence genetically sequence and image, digitally image every species of animal and plant and a lot of fungi on the island of Moria and that really was an attempt to put together the parts list what are the parts of this system so the first step towards taking this system's level approach just a couple words about the Gump Station in particular being as we're at Berkeley and I live there and work at this station so that is the Gump Station since Richard Gump donated the land most of the facilities there have been built thanks to the support of Gordon and Betty Moore and the family and the Mor foundation the research facilities there's residences for up to about 40 or 50 people and we have a cultural center which is very significant to run in partnership with a local community based organization Te Puatitia we also host the only National Science Foundation long-term ecological research site focused on coral reefs which is run out of UC Santa Barbara in collaboration with other UC campuses, the system-wide effort along with other institutions across the United States and this provides a really unparalleled data set and is in collaboration with the French efforts in France through the Creole Directs the French National Center of Excellence for coral reef research so Morere is self-set in a little archipelago cluster of islands here with the big island of Tahiti the capital next door and up to the north there are a small privately owned Atoll, Teterua which Marlon Brando bought and the Brando estate now owns and manages and so we have these scales of complexity from a very simple private low Atoll island up to the big island of Tahiti with nearly 200,000 people and Morere is sort of the Goldilocks island in between just about not too big not too small for our studies 17,000 people but Teterua we have a new collaboration with Teterua and thanks to the support of the really innovative hotel luxury hotel but one that's close to net zero carbon the Brando we have a small field station out there so we can actually start studying this simple island of Teterua and then advance quickly on perhaps scaling up to Morere and eventually to larger places like Tahiti so in Mathias Troyer, Professor Mathias Troyer computational physics from from ETH Zurich the next stage in the story has been organizing a conference on computational quantum computing at the Gump station for a number of years and in discussions we came up with this idea of can we model something as complex as Morere and how would we go about doing that so the first workshop was hosted at ETH Zurich in late 2013 we developed this approach with a number of other institutions over a series of conferences over the next coming year we came up with this vision which was covered in nature and now we have over 20 institutional partners over 80 scientists involved and recently just published a slight more detailed roadmap of how we're going about this and it basically involves a lot of data science so it's very appropriate that we're here at BIDS but also physical modeling, the biological the social and ecological and then bringing it all together at the end in these simulations which are use-oriented simulations that aiming so hence services is very important they want to support for example scenarios based planning and I come back at the end here to the conclusion of that NSF panel is we need to improve the capacity to forecast complex environmental trajectories so we need these complex simulations everything that they involve so today we'll hear about a couple of examples simulating the future of the coral reef simulating the future of mosquito-borne infectious disease and I'm just going to finish with saying that the goal of this is to enable local communities everywhere but in this case our trial system is Morere to design resilient systems and designing what you want the future to be is for the local community to decide so it absolutely has to involve local communities we have a very powerful collaboration with the Tahitian community on Morere and indeed their full partners of this project because Tahitian culture is very rich it had a lot of traditional knowledge about the ecosystems and how they function it's threatened that knowledge is disappearing it's eroding and so the community is digitizing its knowledge to try to save it and keep it and so this platform is really important to ethno-code how do we code that traditional knowledge into the new digital platform so it can be passed on to future generations of Tahitians and incorporated into the broader effort so I'm going to finish there and hand it over to Matias Troyer who I just more or less introduced to you Matias thank you so what we need is the core of the effort is we need to have all of the data we have the information we need to build up a digital representation of the ecosystem the island containing the whole system that's a big challenge we have to start somewhere and here's the first picture of the first time we showed it at the EDH in Zurich and I'll show a better version today but first I want to show you how to build it and what it should be it should be a digital space and time representation of the data we have the current state, the past state and it should be a platform to allow us to simulate the whole system post-dict, validate and then predict the future for that we need to first get the island digitized in the past we did it manually with soundings with surveying, it took a long time nowadays we can do it much better using satellites airplanes, boats drones, divers and more so the first step was we needed to get the land modeled for that we tasked the satellite to take pictures and it simply flies over once a week and then it takes two pictures and from those two pictures like with the eyes one gets a stereo image and can build up a 3D model of the land the resolution when you zoom in goes down to every single tree and you can measure the height and size of the trees or the buildings of everything then we need the water the water flows around the coral the lagoon and that is done at first persona and there was the US funded cruise there with big vessel and the small one that got the depth of the ocean around it which is really important as the input for the simulations that were shown by Nicky Gruber but those boats can only go where it's not too shallow and most of the lagoon is very shallow two meters or less with coral sticking out and for that you can fly airplanes over it with the laser the scanner and scan the water down to negative 20 meters where the French had planned to scan those regions and a little corner here with the airport only the US National National Science Foundation you're pitched in money very quickly to cover the whole lagoon so that data exists now that's really important so now we really have the water depth all around here but then we want to go to smaller scales we want to go down to scales of the coral we want to see how it changes over time and that we also do by flyovers but we do it by us simply going there with cameras flying over it the camera that should actually move I don't know why it's not moving and swimming over that we made a 3D model here that we can then see the change from year to year if we go there once again so we have lots of data there are many groups there from Berkeley from ETH and many other places French Polynesia from France US and Europe and they have lots of data and there we come to a big data problem the big data problem is not that there's too much data around the problem is to find it we have to go to the web page for example of the gump station of Berkeley the bio code web page the the LTE the R page the Creope page of the French you have to find the data there to look what's around you have to read books about the social aspects the history you have to talk to many many people and that is hard so we want to make it easier by having in the first step the avatar be a representation of all the data that exists that you go there you can simply look at it in space and time or topic and just find the data that's there and then based on that build up the models that predict the future and so I want to now show you what it looks like on Maria here here's the view from the top this is the model you see the land you see the ocean we can go there and we can fly in let's see I can just fly in down into the bay over the Berkeley Gum Station you can look out over the ocean to the at all of the the background it's flashing up there but we want to now actually turn back turn around and look at Maria not just look at the model in 3D or zoom in but you want to see what is data that exists and we can for example the coral classification from the the the light picture and the the Anton Coller has identified what is coral what is seaweed what is sand so we see here the habitats and then if we take a picture once a year we get the change we also have all the data on land vegetation classification we have lots there that one can see again from satellite images from the color the spectral information the texture you find the land cover and again can see the change in the future due to climate change we also have then all the data sources that were mentioned from the bio code the sampling sites can go in there and find find the new species that we found there and they link directly to the database and shows in this case an insect or we also have all the data from the the LT E R sites these are shown here in green you can go there and have the data the water temperature fish count and so on you find the data by topic, by space, by time and again click then we go to that page and that's where we want to integrate the data that exists and just by starting to integrate it we build networks we build new science just by thinking about doing it and so while we build this up it already works much more than we thought and I want to pass on to the use of the data the use of the avatar in the next talk by Sally Holbrook from UCSB the problem is currently on sabbatical with Microsoft but that doesn't mean that the powerpoint works better I still didn't manage to have them with that oh good, okay, thanks thanks Neil okay so I want to tell you a little bit about one of the major occupants of coral reefs which is the coral itself and just like all ecosystems coral reefs are constantly disturbed by a lot of different factors and we know from decades of experience that coral reefs experience cyclones and big storm waves they can be bleached as you heard from Nikki's talk a few minutes ago and that bleaching can lead to death and they can also be attacked during outbreaks of these big predatory sea stars which we'll as you'll see in a minute mow down a coral reef in a matter of a year or two so typically in previous decades we have thought that coral reefs could be fully replete with coral, undergo one or more of these disturbances and lose a lot of coral over the landscape scale and then within a decade or so recover that coral much like a forest regenerates after a forest fire but in the last 20, 30 years or so scientists are increasingly recognizing that a lot of coral reefs that we study don't undergo these recoveries to coral Can people hear? Yeah, no? Did it get turned off? Maybe. So we are increasingly seeing corals that get damaged and disappear during disturbances and those reefs transition to seaweed beds rather than back to areas of live coral and you probably have read about this or heard about this phenomenon for the Caribbean where this is a pretty common experience and has been for the last 20, 25 years. So we think one of the reasons why we are seeing these transitions to seaweeds rather than back to coral is that coral reefs recently are undergoing a lot of increased stress and there's a couple different scales at which stresses occur for coral reefs. Some of them are more local like fishing pressure on important species of fish that will eat algae and keep it off of reefs and the introduction of pollutants, nutrients, sediments and stuff like that from the nearby land. These obviously are really local stressors and they are being combined increasingly with the more global stressors that Nikki talked about the warming of the ocean and ocean acidification. Now local stressors we can actually do something about you can control fishing for example you can modify land use and make things better for coral reefs that are adjacent to land and those kinds of efforts that can reduce the local stresses on coral reefs can help them stay resilient that is return back to the coral state when they get disturbed in the face of these longer term global stressors that are much harder for us to do anything about obviously on local time and spatial scales but in order to really be proactive about this and plan better management strategies we need a much better understanding of social ecological systems in tropical areas to make management plans that will help reefs stay resilient and also continue for us to reap the benefits that coral reefs provide. Now people have already been talking about why Mariah is a good study system for us clearly from the point of view of understanding the reefs themselves Mariah is a great place it's among the best studied set of coral reefs in the world the coral reefs as you're going to see in a second around Mariah vary a lot in their resilience that is in their reaction and recovery to disturbance and as Neil said Mariah has just about the right amount of complexity to make it challenging and interesting for us to model but doable. Now I'll tell you in the next couple slides some of what we do know about resilience in Mariah and the first set of information concerns the four reef which is the deeper sloping area outside the barrier reef crest and we know from several decades of work by the French and ourselves that the four reef undergoes disturbances and seems to be able to recover to coral dominance and it's done that at least three times since the 1970's and I'll show you a little bit of data here about the last 10 years on our four reef in Mariah and this is a picture from 10 years ago 2006 at this site right up here on the northern part of the island near the gum station and you can see at that time there was a ton of coral there the percent cover was about 50% which is a full cover of coral the way we measure it but in the several years after 2006 we had a big outbreak of this coral predator the crown of thorns and a cyclone in 2010 and the amount of coral on the four reef fell to basically zero as you can see in the photo and on the graph so we basically lost all the coral over a landscape scale on the four reef around pretty much the whole island during that recent set of disturbances but if you could look at what's happened in the last several years here's that site in 2014 and here it is last August in 2015 and you can see that it's recovered very quickly that coral cover this is a really resilient four reef on Mariah and it's one reason why it's been a huge interest to scientists to study it and resource managers because if we can understand why a reef is resilient we can make management plans to enhance resilience of other reefs that aren't so resilient so we know two big reasons why the four reef on Mariah is resilient and one of them is that herbivorous fish like you see here suppressed the growth of seaweeds on the reef so they were able to get out onto the four reef and keep the reef clean so that coral could at least potentially grow back and they could do that because right now in Mariah they're not overfished so there's plenty of them and their nursery habitat where their babies live for about the first year of their life which is really close to shore is pretty intact around Mariah now the second reason we got that really fast recovery is that there was a huge colonization of sea of young corals like you see here and these young corals came from sources of parents probably from inside the lagoons and so we had a big recolonization of corals because we had parent corals nearby that were healthy and able to reproduce and these young were able to get back out and settle colonize out here on the four reef so there was good connectivity from where the parents were remaining and where the juveniles ended up to establish and grow now that's pretty interesting and what's even more interesting is that in Mariah the lagoons are actually not as affected by these big disturbances that are dramatic like cyclones and crown of thorn sea stars but they're more affected by human activities which are often harder for us to study and understand actually and we're noticing that the lagoons in Mariah are less resilient than the four reef and we're currently engaged in a lot of studies trying to understand why that's so so I'll just show you a last bit of data that I'll show you in my talk one thing we've noticed in this 10 year period that we just looked at for the four reef is that in some areas of the lagoon coral was there in 2006 and the cover of coral in those places has stayed about the same it stayed steady over that time period in other places in the lagoon they started with a lot of coral and this cover has declined and there's been replacement by seaweeds and so we're seeing areas in the lagoon then that are transitioning to this seaweed dominated state rather than the coral dominated state and the big question is why are some parts of the lagoon in Mariah like this right now in 2015 going into 16 why are other areas like that and of course the two things that we think are probably the most important in these differences in different parts of the lagoon have to do with fishing pressure on some of the key herbivorous fish like these species here that will eat algae and that will also help algae prevent it from getting established on the reef and then the second area of concern obviously relates to land use practices not just agriculture and the input of sediment and nutrients from fertilizers and things like that maybe pesticides and things but also other kinds of coastal development that result in things coming into the lagoon or disrupt lagoon habitats in other ways so in order to really understand why the dynamics on the four reef and the lagoon in Mariah are so different and also to be able to project forward into the future we need whole island simulation models like the avatar and we want to be able to capture the links and the feedbacks between the physical environment things Nikki Gruber was talking about and the biological environment and human activities now this slide just reminds us that some of the data sources that Mateus mentioned to you a couple minutes ago come from different kinds of studies that we do in the lagoon and on the four reef and they range from long term measurements so we get time series of lots of different biological and physical variables people do short term process studies in the field and in the lab there are different kinds of experiments that are done in the field and in mesocosms and in the lab and there's modeling and integration and through all of those things we get component data for the avatar but we also can build smaller models which can then be combined eventually and integrated to form the avatar itself so as Neil said our ultimate aim is simulation synthesis and service we really want to be able to forecast what's coming in the future and be able to do scenario modeling to understand what's coming and also help managers figure out the best ways forward in terms of management practices for both the terrestrial and the marine environment in Morea and I will stop there and hand it over Thank you Neil In choosing terrestrial system to talk about we've chosen one of the avatar projects concerning mosquitoes and especially the occurrence of an outbreak of Zika which you've no doubt heard about which actually happened in French Polynesia in 2013 Islands you think of also as separated isolated habitats but in fact they're very connected and French Polynesia shown here in the circles the white circle here is connected and very connected both by roads shipping routes air networks and on the island of course we have roads recently Morea has been connected by a submarine cable that will bring high-speed data to Morea and thanks to Larry Conrad and others at Berkeley and at UC and the University of Hawaii this cable is about to be connected which will transform how we can deliver research but also education these connections are not new of course the rate at which we're communicating and moving things around the world is escalating but we've had connections and people have been connected to these islands for 1500 years which has been the research of one of our collaborators Patrick Kirch from Berkeley and that's shown in the lower left the project I want to talk about is directed by Hervé Bosson who is the project leader of a government institution ILM charged with health and understanding disease in French Polynesia there are two main vectors mosquito vectors of disease in French Polynesia the one on the right is Aedes Polynesiensis which certainly was transported by the Polynesians potentially a native species but most likely introduced by the Polynesians it tends to be in more natural habitats the one on the left is Aedes Egypti that certainly came with people probably the Europeans and this is the main vector of the diseases Dengue and Zika and others that we're most interested in because it tends to be in urban settings the Zika outbreak in French Polynesia in 2013 was actually part of a global outbreak that has started in the 1940s and 1950s shown there on the upper right in Africa moving across Africa in the 1960s then to India in the 1970s and then reappearing in the island of Yap in 2007 before coming to French Polynesia in 2013 and of course more recently it has spread through South America and now is appearing in other places because of people traveling the graph on the bottom just shows this outbreak which is sort of a classical invasive species outbreak from October 2013 through January, February and March the reported cases are in blue and estimated cases here in orange that 60 or 70% of the people were probably infected based on blood samples and other information and this has become a case study now that is appearing in places like the Lancet and elsewhere we have now genetic tools to get rid of mosquitoes we now could get rid of all the mosquitoes of a particular species some of these tools were developed here at Berkeley, Christopher Cass 9 for example and also tools that are simpler also genetic and one is shown here where there is a bacterium that is associated with arthropods especially mosquitoes and by manipulating this bacterium and introducing males that are sterile because of this bacterium one can suppress the population of a mosquito population in nature and this is interesting and much literature recently and discussion has centered around well should we do this should we get rid of a mosquito species and what are the implications for the ecological community but also the people that live there as you know mosquitoes are one of the most dangerous organisms on earth just because of the numbers of people that die as a result of interacting with mosquitoes well the island avatar is extremely well positioned for this sort of research there are a couple things that jump out from this figure that Neal showed earlier first of all we have this scale of complexity so if we can do a smaller study on one of these islands and it works we can scale up to first of all Marea and then Tahiti and then the other thing to point out is this study will take that I'll talk about took place on this atoll of Tetiaroa in association with the Tetiaroa Society and this atoll itself is a set of smaller islands which from a research perspective is great because you can do manipulations on one island and compare it to an island that you have not manipulated so in this study first of all the mosquitoes were removed from the control island here mosquitoes are often found in water habitats that accumulate associated with human dwellings surveillance effort was started on the island of Tahiti was the production and then eventually the release of these incompatible sterile males and then this project monitored the impact on the mosquito population and I'll show you those results next so here is the atoll of Tetiaroa and as I said it itself comprises several little islands and what the researchers chose to do was to designate one island as the treatment where these sterile males would be introduced that's an orange and the blue island there was left as a control and here are the results from September 2014 so in the treatment it's this orange line shows that there were actually more mosquitoes in the treatment setting than the control and then over time you can see with the introduction of these sterile males the treatment island decreased in numbers of mosquitoes compared to the control so this is a really nice example of suppressing mosquito populations using these approaches next steps in this project is an effort that a group of researchers who met in February at the gum station to discuss this project have called MAZI SIM and what it is is that simulation using aspects of this avatar project including data science, physical modeling of the terrestrial but also marine habitats using what we know about genetic systems to construct bacterial systems and a genetic background so that these studies can be done at a larger scale understanding what this means to the economies and the social structure in French Polynesia and then making predictions for the future so one goal of this project is to scale up from Tetyaroa to the island of Marea and eventually Tahiti but also at the same time to understand the actual impact of people's lives for the good of the entire community so I'll stop there and hand it over to our next speaker Russ Schmidt from UC Santa Barbara Alright, thanks very much I've been tasked with just giving some summary concluding remarks and then opening up for questions that you may have and I want to start by sort of coming full circle to what we're trying to do here by integrating this social ecological system using Marea as our model system and I think the best example is to sort of go back to these three talks that you heard Nikki Brueber really cogently argued for why we need to sort of consider even while we're looking at an island system that it's embedded in a global environment which influences it drives a lot of the reaction that's going to happen locally through changes in the ocean and changes in the atmosphere and so we have to capture that external drivers into systems how they affect the reef things like ocean temperature change ocean acidification we know we have to capture those correctly and model them correctly similarly for the terrestrial side we know things like changing climate's going to influence the spread of diseases and those sorts of things which we have to take into account so these are not surprising sorts of interactions that we have to do within these talks given by Sally and George we also need to understand the sort of internal dynamics of having them there but I want to talk about what the power of is doing this together as a group where we actually are coupling the social with the ecologicalness for a whole systems approach and so while these connections aren't very surprising to any of us what's emerging are surprising connections that we hadn't thought of and you probably thought I hope these were two very interesting talks about reef resilience and about control of mosquito to control infectious diseases but in fact what's emerging is potentially surprising connection between these two different studies in fact what we are beginning to see evidence of is that in fact mosquitoes may be influencing resilience of corals this is an area we are going to be exploring right how is that possible it's possible because of how these insect born infectious diseases alters human behavior how does it happen in Mariah in Mariah when sicknesses occur the Zika outbreaks we see a spike in fishing why is that it's because traditionally when an unexpected expense occurs like the need to buy medicines the way traditional families get that resources is to actually fish and sell the products so what we are seeing is a relationship between variation and fishing in the Likun and outbreaks of the Zika this kind of connection is only possible when we all get together and begin to see these connections so this I think is an illustration of what's very exciting about this program so what I want to do then is end this by thinking of all for being here and for being engaged and we invite you to stay engaged and I'd like you to open it up now for any questions you may have so the speakers are going to come forward I hope so you can direct if they are still intact thank you great talks I have two questions actually one is in terms of the data that goes into the model eventually have you ever considered using also citizen scientists and people collecting data when I saw the picture in Matthias talks I think the diver I mean you have a lot of divers in the water they can collect whatever and the other is how much local ecological knowledge is in the data that's a great source of information too and especially when it comes to stuff like you mentioned in the end of fishing that's right I'm going to give you this to Neil to answer but I just want to say that there is a lot of traditional knowledge and the Atatia center is one of the mechanisms that we've used for a scientist to communicate with elders to actually impart information back and forth and it's really clear that we've learned from each other by doing that process yeah I mean to follow up and we don't have time obviously today to go into this in detail but it's a huge and exciting I think component how do you involve the local population so citizen science which in this case does involve a lot of rich traditional knowledge because of the nature of where it is but wherever this takes place we have tools now that people can observe your personal health with your cell phone your personal health depends on the environment you're exposed to so also we can use a lot of those new sensor type devices to collect and gather data that can be then integrated into the avatar so the avatar is an open science platform and not just for scientists it's an open platform for the whole community in this case this community happens to have a lot of scientists in it but in theory it's usable anywhere else so if people are gathering data posting it on the avatar what kinds of how do those data get evaluated if they need to be evaluated how are they discoverable and linked potentially into scientific research programs but also used for other purposes so as I mentioned the local community that's a tier group coding their traditional knowledge for that specific purpose that they were doing anyway they can post it into the avatar platform they may or may not choose to open that up some of those data might be sensitive they publish in a way publishing the data so any citizen any person could do that and they can decide how if they want to share it our scientific goal is to make it all open but even in that case some for example distributions of some endangered species you don't want to necessarily make completely open to everyone so these are the issues privacy where we do actually legitimately want some distributions on the data that project like this can grapple with the governments, the citizens and as well as Dick. Thank you I'm interested in the fact that the Zika virus in Brazil is the front page of the New York Times we read about it it's the apocalypse now horrific stories about abnormal births that are occurring women shouldn't get pregnant here 65 to 70% of the people in French Polynesia were infected with the Zika virus in 2012 and also front page of the New York Times Obama calling for $2 billion to be allocated to Zika research and I'm just wondering what I'm missing were there what were the consequences of the infection rate in Maria in 20 formities how and then also on your project how do you access some of that $2 billion by leveraging what you've done well we could sure use that $2 billion I would solve all the health yeah that aside that Lancet paper is probably the most recent up to date assessment of the other effects associated with this outbreak and I think there were eight cases of microcephaly that occurred during that time and one other that occurred at sort of before and after so this study suggests that it's not conclusive but it's certainly consistent with the time of pregnancy that the outbreak occurred and these cases so that the numbers maybe don't sorry the numbers don't there's not a strong association but certainly it's very consistent with the timing of this outbreak so in terms of what the people have experienced I mean otherwise this is quite a mild virus I mean it's not like measles and probably most people didn't realize that they had it you know I don't think at the time researchers were thinking that this was leading to something bigger and maybe that's partly why it didn't receive the attention at the time that it probably should have certainly now I think the research community is going back to these previous outbreaks and analyzing them in great detail and it's really gratifying to see that the research in French Polynesia is getting its you know the recognition that it deserves do you want to add anything? one thing on that it was actually it was identified as Zika very quickly in French Polynesia I mean it's not like we didn't know it was Zika and we've just found out now that that was Zika thanks to the CDC or someone the ILM the local biomedical research institute identified that virus very fast and it was received international among scientists recognition that wow that's really impressive they identified it because a lot of the symptoms look like dengue and no one bothers to study it in any more depth but because we have this biomedical research institute on Tahiti they identified it no this is unusual virus it's not dengue the birth problems weren't so obvious then but there were other syndromes that partial paralysis so a lot of adults a number of adults were hospitalized with very severe paralysis syndromes which cost the local health authority a fortune so there were some severe impacts but as George said most people it's very mild fever I may have got it I don't know 20% yeah I wasn't pregnant at the time but so yeah but these are the things Zika, chikungunya unfortunately there are waves of these epidemics that come through what the next one will be some other name will no doubt be hitting the headlines in the next few years this is the globalized world especially a warming globalized world where these mosquitoes are becoming more and more of a problem that they carry so that's why we need this it's exciting to have these technologies where we can potentially take out these vectors but we do need to know what are the consequences of removing species selectively surgically removing species from an ecosystem that's a brand new power George and I and others we've been working for a long time on trying to get rid of various insects it's really really hard we actually have another experiment we did very successfully in French Malaysia but this new power is to design ecosystems literally we talk about gene editing this is species editing of a system but what consequences to that power we need to know what the system how that functions if we're going to species edit and make mistakes I wondered if you could say a few words about the avatar dimension of this project which I find an incredibly exciting project one is what is the official language or is there not an official language are there three languages at least or are there more than three languages and how do you deal with multi-linguality on the in the avatar itself secondly you're essentially constructing a virtual identity for Mariah which has no geographical location and so what is the boundary the social, cultural boundary that the avatar begins and ends or is there not such a boundary and thirdly what is the governance structure of the avatar I think you're a little cute about the identification of French Polynesia as a self-governing country I think was the term that was used there is some history here as you probably know and particularly from Mariah and then within Polynesia there is some history over this issue so I'm not sure as scientists you're sort of dancing around this issue delicately or if this is actually an explicit understanding I'd be very interested to know thank you okay so first of all the question of languages it's not just the question of languages it's also a question of cultures of world views and then within a language is also that the sociologists speak a different language than the biologists, the physicists the geographers so one big challenge is indeed getting representation that is abstracted from the language and that integrates languages that the groups use it's not just French and English it's English and English and that's where most of the data science efforts go but even more importantly people view the world differently be it the native Tahitians or the western scientists and there we explore about how do they view the world how would they sort the data categorize it for example they identify waves not by the wave height or direction but by the sound they make and certain sounds means there's a storm coming certain sounds mean they should go fish out there for example so it is a very different few of the world that one learns by looking at that exact question and that's one of the things we explore here about the boundaries we've heard from Nicky Gruber at some point we need the whole earth Pacific ocean basin the islands around that depends on the question you ask our core focus is for some questions you need to go begin in scale we want to focus on the small scale first to build up the tools the methods that you can and then use in many places around the world and that's why we start from a small island Teturoa Moreaia and then we slowly expand it about the governance yeah I pass on to Neil who has thought lots about that yeah I know I was going to get that one thanks I just want to say on the world view I think that is really important and it's very sociologist or geneticist so I'm not speaking of this for many qualifications but Hinano Tebaimofi who leads the traditional knowledge aspect leads the traditional knowledge aspect of the project told me that Tahitians go into the future looking backwards which is interesting what does that mean it's a different way of looking at the world they view the world in a very holistic way and in our discussions we've had a lot of problems in trying to communicate about the island and looking at fish as separate from humans, separate from plants so I know everything is connected and the way they think about it the way they communicate about it is very holistic which is where science is moving back to if you like so they may have things that can teach us but looking back as they go forward the future is also I think partly because the traditional knowledge was the survival kit and it's passed down from generation to generation orally there was no writing so it was very very valuable and they learned how to survive on these islands so instead maybe looking to the future trying to figure it out yourself the most important thing was to get all the knowledge from your ancestors hence a little bit looking back bringing that survival kit with you so I don't know but these are really interesting interfaces between different cultures that can be explored in terms of the current political situation I don't know if I was being cute saying that but it is an overseas country of France that's the official designation or collectivity of France overseas there's obviously a complex history like many places in the world and how the avatar works within that social political context is these are really great questions and we don't have all of the answers this is an invitation that's the purpose of this meeting is to invite people who are interested who have questions, who have expertise to join the project thank you Hi, so I was wondering so one of the ultimate goals of this initiative is to create policy for restoration sort of different processes to really help these ecosystems and I was wondering what the criteria is to decide what kind of decisions should be made in terms of like for what side I was pressing on with the coral reefs I know it was these coral reefs I think it's probably an alternative stable state that they were turning into with the macroalgae and so I was wondering does that have a similar impact as like algae has with sutrification or is like how is the decision made what type of ecosystems you want to see in the area or if there's some sort of co-existence that you're trying to build with different ecosystems well that is a great question because coral reefs provide a ton of different ecosystem services to society and of course they range from economic services like fishing ecotourism and things like that all the way to cultural services you know ceremonial and cultural identity types of services and there's a ton of other stuff in between that and so one of the big challenges I think for the avatar project is to be able to scenario model in the context of what the local community on any of our islands but more as our first island maybe agrees are their goals whether you want a reef that's covered with coral covered with algae or has a mixture of algae and coral really depends on a lot of factors because there's value potentially in different ecosystem states it's just like do we want a forest or a farmland and so on and so forth and I think that one of the things that motivates us to get the community on Marea really involved in this project is because we recognize that that kind of scenario building is not just a scientific endeavor it's a political, cultural, economic and social endeavor and so it's a very complicated question but again I think Marea is just complicated enough politically, socially economically that we can maybe work with the community and they can work with us when we go forward thinking about desired outcomes I may be wrong about that but that's our hope yeah I can mention that one of the early strategies for building the avatar and implementing it is to explore consequences of sea level rise because that's something we know is coming and we have some estimates of how rapidly it might occur and some of the outcomes of sea level rise are at least recognized or the potential outcomes and so that affords an opportunity to look at the consequences of sea level rise not just to the reef ecosystem but to the land ecosystem to places where people live which is very low close to the water and to the and effects of terrestrial activities on that whole sea level rise scenario and consequences and so that's an example of one of our defined kind of early avatar scenario building efforts that we might try to do so to answer that I think what we've assembled I think is we are really poised to do not just incremental but sort of a real transformational project here right and we have all the pieces assembled yet there are things that we still need to get done and I think Mateus and several of us have been talking about what's the priority for what we need to do now there's clearly lots of data science sort of things to do this the modeling things that we need to do the platform building kinds of things to do those are the things that we need to sort of move forward on I think we have the right scientists we have the right social scientists we have the right sort of combination of what we need to do is make sure whatever we do it's scalable so it's not about more it's about how you take what we do here and transfer across other systems and so that we can scale up to that so to make progress I think we need to be able to move to the next step and that's you know what we're struggling to do do you want to add anything so one of the things we've seen is the value that comes from interacting across campuses in the UC system for example but also among major universities and these are problems that really know one university or research group can tackle by ourselves and so I think this is also a model for how we can address some really grand challenges in a transformational way what is the or how is this project backed by the by the local government not necessarily the local authorities I should say because you're quickly coming up and already showed some data and you could say well we need eventually the impact in terms of conversation conservation so for example protecting certain reef areas or on land how is this how is this backed by the government and by the local authorities will they listen to you or because typically lots of experiences in Fiji and it's not it's more easy to come up with data that show that there is a need for conservation than implementing conservation measures in the end so that's another great question that we could spend easily an hour a long time talking about but to try to give a short answer number one it's not just the government or even mainly the government that is important in making these management plans happen one of the things we're very much trying to do is facilitate at least bottom up community level engagement in understanding what the future might look like informed being able to make informed decisions as individual citizens whether that then needs to be that knowledge and understanding and if there is any shared vision of the future and how to achieve it I think one of the powerful things with the avatars potentially being able to visualize it, what if we did this and then you run through oh it looks like that this wasn't quite what I was wanting or there was some unexpected impact on some other part of the system that would affect somebody else but whether the community then of course that's a loaded term as well I realize I'm treading over a lot of very sensitive terms but the application of any common project or implementation management could be done by the community itself doesn't necessarily need to then be regulated into government laws or it can of course inform government processes so in some of the work we've been doing already including with the Teturoa Society on a sustainable and conservation and sustainable use plan for example community driven the commune the local the municipality government takes the results of that and says hey this is really interesting because we're in the process of doing our zoning regulation in French the Pégeard a regulation that and this kind of information is very useful for us we can translate that into regulations if that's what the community is telling us so and above that you have the local government of French Malaysia who also are responsible and then the government in Paris so there's many layers of government as there are in most places right in California County, State, Federal Switzerland of course very complex too so how this translates up from an empowered informed local citizenry through what political instruments are to be defined but that's so the French Polynesian government the municipality governments the local community are very open I would say and actively engaged in this effort so I wanted to ask a question about the long term sustainability of the data in the model what do you guys envision as the set of individuals or institutions who will help to curate the data in the model and what sort of role do you see for museums and libraries and universities in terms of what they ought to do and how they ought to change to make something like this last for the long term so for the data there are already the long term projects in place like the LTE the our sites the long term funding supported the the biocode data the the specimens are in museums already now they are curated there but there's really a demand for the long term curation of the data from the papers from Gaetz, from the research and we envision the avatar to be a place where you can publish the data where it can be archived where it can be accessed, referenced cited afterwards and that's the infrastructure that we want to build up here a way to publish and archive all of this data and models and keep it around long term that's one of the goals we have and that has to be built up and then one has to see where the funding comes from the support infrastructure welcome now so the multi multi scale multi data source integration aspect for modeling is one of the most fascinating and unique parts of this project but at the same time I'm curious what your strategy for model validation and verification is going to be because you're really treading into waters that are fully uncharted from the perspective of not having analytical answers or anything to validate against the whole point of this is to actually do as you've said decision making and scenario based modeling for decision making so what is the strategy for validation verification and building trust on these very complex new kinds of modeling yeah yeah okay so we have one example where we want to start with that and those are the water flows because they are the basis for most of the modeling if we don't get the water flows right then how should we have the transport of nutrients and flower and so on right so that's one of the first challenges that means coupling math simulations of the ocean scale currents to the local currents around the coral hats and that is what we focus on one of the first modeling modeling challenges and that's what we want to try to the pilot project in the next years and it has to be validated against field measurements sensors in the fields for water flows and so on and it has to be made to work and be checked out there and then one can go to smaller scales the water flows around the coral hats inside the coral and one can go to the bigger scales then one the couples in the weather the microclimate, the rainfall patterns turns out to change then we add the runoff we need stream gauges and instruments there so we need to always validate against field measurements and data and build it up step by step we have people working on all those little pieces the challenge now is to combine it and validate it so we have maybe time for one last question we'll have two last questions where do you envision it coming from near to the medium term future I think from the vice chancellor for research office we have a great thing at the ETH that every professor gets the base funding that's guaranteed and fixed and with that we should go out and try out new things long term things visionary things so one big advantage I have at the ETH is that that is funded supported to bring it to the point where then we can look for funding elsewhere but the seed funding is really important for that and we had that thanks to Berkeley and thanks to ETH so at this meeting and Neil also knows this field we have population genetic models we have ecological models the Tete Heroa study I described at least what I described today was really just a manipulation but for the island of Morea and then parts of Tahiti especially the built environment there are collaborators who have done similar things in other environments I believe in Australia and Indonesia where they model the success or suppression of insects following these kinds of manipulations I can talk to you about it later if you like and one thing we want to look into here is really that you need to model how the mosquito spreads how it drifts in the wind, how it flies around and when you see that there's a road there's a big block because it does not get far, there's a wall somewhere then it's a block, when there's a pond somewhere it spreads so you really need to model it at the scale that we saw at the one foot or two feet scale and then put in the models at vacuum diffusion models of how the mosquitoes live and fly around there we had a proposal for that submitted to the French funding agencies, they rejected it in the fall because working on the mosquito vector suppression, things like Zika was not of any public interest last false that's how things changed so we have a project that we just need to fund it again did you want to call one? so that's a really interesting question and I think at the heart of much of the public discussion centered on well what happens if we get rid of a species and in French Polynesia as Neil pointed out we have had projects involved in biological control where an organism was introduced to control another and historically some of these did not end well and in recent times there's an expectation of risk assessment that involves pre-release studies very detailed biological studies and so on and I think in thinking about getting rid of a mosquito there are potentially great consequences will it be replaced by something else does it fill a niche in the community that's absolutely essential and so on these aren't things that you could necessarily figure out without doing some kind of manipulation on a small scale before you scale up to a larger environment thanks very much we're going to have to end it there I want to take this opportunity to thank you all once again for not only coming and participating asking for the very difficult challenge that lay ahead for us but also we invite you to stay engaged in this process this really is a community project and I hope you captured some of the excitement that we have about this project as well so thank you very much you guys and thank you to you as well	{ "url":

Unlike the introductory workshop, which is really for folks who are still trying to figure out if they want to teach the course, this workshop is really, really focused on helping you identify and address the barriers that you see in your classroom right now. The deep dive and introductory workshops are often offered together. And when we do that, they're two one-day workshops. It's really important to note that in order to attend the deep dive workshop, you don't actually have to go to the introductory workshop. So in situations where schools and districts are offering both, we recommend that there's at least one month in between the two to give those teachers who have gotten started through the intro workshop time to implement before they come to the deep dive. The deep dive workshop is built around really achieving three goals with the teachers. First is to help them identify and address the barriers that are keeping them from implementing the course in the way they want. The second is to help them improve and expand their teaching practice by really exploring the curriculum and getting hands on. And the third is to help them plan for the future and plan to go above and beyond what they're already doing with CS fundamentals in their classroom. All of the activities that we do during the workshop are in service of helping achieve these goals with our teachers. Let's start with barriers and supports. We start our day at the deep dive workshop trying to really understand and draw out the challenges and barriers that teachers are facing in their classrooms and in their schools right now. This is why it's so important that they've started teaching the course already. If you haven't started teaching, you might not know what questions you're going to have. During this time, we're pulling out the real life challenges that folks have and we're not trying to answer them all in the moment, but we are trying to figure out how we can answer them over the course of the day. That's why we start with barriers and supports, but we certainly don't end that in the first couple of hours. It's something that we do for the whole workshop. The middle section of the agenda in the deep dive workshop is really focused on using the curriculum with your students. We spend time here thinking about instructional strategies and classroom practices like supporting debugging practices with your students and really leveraging the code.org tools in order to manage your classroom. But we also focus on using lessons themselves and the instructional practices that teachers can really exemplify during those lessons in order to build an inclusive environment in their classroom. During this period of time, teachers are getting hands-on experience as learners and as teachers in order to get better context for how this stuff can work in their classroom and with their kids. We finish the day with planning and this is planning in the form of both lesson planning and implementation planning. In lesson planning time, we're trying to help teachers think really concretely about how they will take the written lesson that's on the code.org website and then use it with their students. This is how you take the activities and turn them into action. Implementation planning time is flexible time focused on giving people space to coordinate with other people who have similar constraints. So tech teachers with tech teachers, classroom teachers with classroom teachers to go forward and make a concrete plan for how they're going to implement CS fundamentals in the rest of the year.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzgPaBIYJEI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCZyACOXbNnPs2RXA_Iv9pxA	A glimpse of life behind bars in the Philippines	The International Committee of the Red Cross has been improving sanitation and water supply in Aurora Jail, working with the provincial government of Aurora in the Philippines. We’ve been been visiting the inmates of Aurora Provincial Jail since 1992 and talking with the authorities there. The aim is to ensure that all inmates are being treated humanely and living in decent conditions. Located in the eastern part of Central Luzon, Aurora has seen a steady increase in population over the years. ----- The ICRC is on the ground in over 90 countries, providing humanitarian aid to victims of conflict and violence. From the diplomatic level to the frontline, we remind fighters, on all sides, that wars have limits.

Within overpopulation rates of 416 percent, overcrowding and its consequences are problems they had to deal with every day. Iba po talaga na salob kasi po kulub po yan. Yung hangin po, kulang ang sapina hangin kaya maenit po na di mamawari ang enit na na salob. Sa malatarima po namin mam, 23 inmates po kami, yung iba nagdadalawa-dalawa na lang po sila. Dito sa saig po mam, mas marami po yung karga. To ease overcrowding and in accordance with international prison standards, female inmates which make up less than 10 percent of the jail population have been housed in a separate dormitory starting February 2015. Nadipo, direct sohan po yung galing pung plowing. Kaya lang yung nagbabago naman siguro yung panang plowing. Tapos yung mga tubun na nga, medyo ka na rin po, kalumaya ka lumaan na rin. Diyong po naka-probleman nung. Naka-paggawa na po sinang tanke. Malaki pungkakulangan sa tubig po rami dito sa jail kasi po lalo na po sa mga padlakan. Maenit po sa loob. As part of ICRC's support, improvements were made with the jail's water supply system, including the construction of a concrete water tank for collection, electric pump, steel tanks and replacement of pipes. To improve sanitation conditions, septic tanks were also repaired and toilets in each cell were replaced. A new kitchen was also constructed where energy-efficient stoves and stoves and solar water heaters were introduced. Ang nangayong pae, naman nag-anong magusoka. Magunglutoforman na, madaling na po. Dati po o-peng, hindi hala namin natangtang tayong init po na gumukan po sa namin katawang dahil wala na po yung harang. Mas maganda po sa ngayon ka sa dati. Paginnagami solar, madalila po yung pumulok. Nagkatipit kami sa straws, nagkatipit kami sa kahoy. Nakaliktas po kami sa usok. Malaking tulon na po yan dahil, sa kanhawa no namin nagluluto. Nung una po, ang bintana ng punamin sa side, na yung side malit lang po. Pero dito po sa gawing inviscating area, wala po ang bintana kahit malit po yan ng araw. Dun sa kabila po, may rumpong malit na pahabaha po na mga 6 inch's o 7 inch's lang pa. Ay nung dinagdag po yan, yung maliwalas po ng kontin ay may hangin na po yung mga pasok. With the construction of new windows and enlargement of existing ones, ventilation inside the cells was greatly improved. Dito na namin dito na kwanditi ni mam. Siya din po ang lagtour sa amin para gumawa po ng ganito kaisa wala naman po kami ginagawa sa loob. Mas mabuti po yung ang dito na lang kami mam. Dito po kasi na lili bang na po kami kahit pa paano po, kumikita din po pag nakabinta po kami. Masaya yung pakiramdam din namin mam kahit may bibigay lang namin sa mga kamaganak namin. Para kahit paano, yung maalala lang din po kami nanon dito. Aside from handicraft activities in the workshop, some inmates are also allowed to practice their skills inside the jail premises like this barber who provides services both to his fellow inmates and jail guards. As part of its work, the ICRC visits jails to ensure the humain treatment and living conditions of those detained. This is done by working with detention authorities, speaking privately with detainees, and when needed, it carries out assistance projects to improve detainees' access to water, sanitation, and healthcare. Thank you for watching.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzvGSgrP0ew", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Civil engagement lives here. Thursday, 3 o'clock. It's time for another edition of Condo Insider, Hawaii show about association living. Pretty much designed to educate board members and homeowners alike. And the purpose of the show today is called Meetings, Meetings, Meetings, or the 3Rs. The rules, regulations, and risk within a meeting. So I like the person called Meetings the practical alternative to doing real work. I know when I'm working in the company, they schedule meetings after meeting after meeting, and then I have no time to do the work I'm supposed to do. So I call it the practical alternative to doing real work. I brought with me my lovely friend forever, Nalaan attorney, and who will talk about the various types of meetings of associations, and I want everybody to know where you are now, because you have switched firms maybe six months ago or so, and that's where you are and again, what you do, kind of your background. Aloha, my name is Nalaan. I'm an attorney with a law firm, Damon Key Leong, Cupchuck-Hastard. We provide full services, legal services to our community in Hawaii, including condominium, community association representation. I also practice immigration law. I'm from China. I was born and raised there. So speak Mandarin. I also help a lot of matters, speaking clients in the section on litigation matters. Such a pleasure to be back again. You do some immigration work, too. Yes. Do you enjoy that? I do. I think I deeply feel that's an area there where I'm touching people's life, making such a big difference. I would imagine that in today's world, there's been a lot of changes in the law and the philosophy and the rules and regulations with all the stuff going on all over the borders across our countries. Is that true? Yes. It's a very hard-debated area with all the new administration bringing all these new policies, extreme wetting by America, high America, not only for family-based immigrants, but also for employment-based and westman-based across the board, asylum, all areas of immigrants that are facing definitely challenges in this new political climate. Well, thank you for all you're doing. I think taking care of the—I don't want to call them a little people. That sounds demeaning, but the ordinary Joe on the street or Jane on the street or Joe and Jane's children on the street, make sure I'm politically correct, cover everybody, but it's a tough job, but we're certainly on new ground in some ways. I think that this area is an area that's kind of had fallen into a routine and needs to be looked at again to kind of correct the laws and make it clear what the requirements are, because it's been pretty much—there are laws, but they've been pretty much ignored in some respects in certain areas and I know it's a tough job, but thank you for doing it anyway. My pleasure. I mean, I really hope—join the other people who's been working towards this great goal, you know. Might be a fun to do a show on that one day. I'll consider about that. I think it'd be interesting. But anyway, we know condo associations particularly have meetings and basically the kind of meetings we're going to cover today are you have the annual meeting, you have a special meeting of the members, which would be like an annual meeting of the members, then you can have a regular board meeting, a special board meeting, an executive session, there's something called a written consent, and then kind of thrown in there somewhere are committee meetings. I'd like to kind of go through the general legal requirements and concept of each of them, and let's begin with the annual meeting. Why do we have annual meetings and why do they have to have annual meetings? Well, annual meeting, annual meeting. So, at least once a year. I mean, this is just you know, for example, some very important things for the association to do, like for example, you've approved last year's annual meeting minutes and make sure any, you know, access funds from the association collected will be rolled over to next year's maintenance fee expenses so that you don't, you know, affect your nonprofit organization tax status. You know, something other things like you want to, you know, like for example you have any changes to your association documents. This is an area for owners to vote on it adopting important resolutions or policies that requires ownership approval. You know, of course completing last year's certain business like changing managing agents or, you know, appointing an auditor, things like that just to keep the operation going for the association. And probably the number one thing is elect directors. Yeah, for that very important. Like when the terms up, you want to have a new batch of officers and directors. So one of the things that I've seen before is I'll go to an annual meeting and owner will be who, who, about something. He'll say, I want to make a motion. And he's in new business the appropriate time in the, in the meeting. He says I want to make a motion that the board of directors immediately reduce the maintenance fees by 10%. Is that a lawful or correct motion? That's probably invalid because you are kind of interfering with an area or function that is within the board's so discretion to exercise on. You know, the chair of the meeting may consider not to entertain this motion because it's lacking legal policies. Yeah, I think that most things I've been told is that your governing documents provide certain authority to the board. And so if in fact you're trying to tell the board to do something within its own authority, that in fact then you're violating the bylaws because the bylaw gives the board majority the discretion to make those decisions. And so you can't make any motion but you can make what we call an advisory motion, which will be something in a sense that I'd like to make a motion of the board reconsider the annual budget and take a closer look at it to see if there's anything we can do to reduce the maintenance fees by 10%. Worth advising that they want the board to know that the owners are concerned about something. They're not instructing them specifically to do something like mandating a reduction of 10%. We're making a motion on an advisory basis of the board that we as the more owner majority are concerned about this, we'd ask you within your discretion of the bylaws to look at this again. It would be a proper motion. Yes, exactly. And of course if you get enough ownership approval you can do a special petition on certain important things like amending your project documents or limiting the board's powers or removing certain board directors. Definitely if you get a 25% of ownership approval, you can do it via a special vehicle. And so when you go to the meeting, they usually publish the agenda which we call technically the order of business. Where does that come from? I would say like the Roberts Roof order, but most important thing is you should first look at your bylaws. If there's something that's not provided in your bylaws then you can always go to Roberts Roof. In most associations I've seen the bylaws say this is the order of business. Why I bring this up? Because parallel to the thing that I was saying a moment ago is that so you have an order of business that will say notice of meeting, reports, new business, old business, election, whatever it may be. So someone will go, the meeting will be called to order and someone will immediately say I want to make a motion to advise the board we want to have you look at the budget again. Well the proper thing would be it's out of order because the bylaws provides the order of business. The appropriate time will be a new business to bring up that motion. It's not the wild, wild west. The order of business defines by the bylaws what you will discuss in one specific order. And so a person who's all hoo-hoo and huffing and puffing and wants to get right to the bottom line and make a motion may be told he has to wait. Yes and the number one thing for any meeting to conduct official business you have to make sure you have a quarrel. If without a quarrel you can't do any business basically. And that's an interesting point because I've seen this argument. We scheduled the annual meeting and we didn't have a quorum. So we've had our annual meeting this year. We just didn't have a meeting because we had no quorum and now we'll just wait until next year to hold a meeting. And we won't elect directors, everybody will be able to stay where they are and stay in place. And what's your first reaction to that? I think any general counsel for that association would definitely advise against that because that's literally a violation of the law already. It has some really hidden consequences to it. First of all to answer the question, no, you've got to take efforts to adjourn a meeting to a future date or to do something to hold that meeting. It's not just electing directors because it affects the terms and could affect in theory some of the legality of the board of what they do. But more importantly I want you to think about this. And I had a CPA on the show that what about the tax resolution? If you don't pass that tax resolution in a lawful meeting you now no longer have that defense of why you don't pay taxes on the excess gain of money you didn't spend that year by taking a position and we rolled it over without passing it. So holding the meeting is kind of a critical thing and just because you don't want to stand up to the owners and explain what you've done and why or you don't want to have an election because you don't want the board to change is not in the spirit of the governing documents and the bylaws and you have to hold an annual meeting. Pretty much true? Yes. So let's see what else I have. Fixed by your phone here. How about the form? Is that a part of the annual meeting? The form? What form? The order is form. Yes, that's usually a good area for give owners about opportunity to talk about the issues they are concerned about. Forms technically are not an official part of the annual meeting because it's not in the order of business. However, it's strongly recommended you have a form either before or after the annual meeting and there's debate on which is better. To me, the answer is straightforward. If you have issues of contention, you're probably better off having the form so people aren't interfered with or have false understandings by fake news what the real issues are. That you're better off if you have contentious issues to do the form basically you call the meeting to order and say if there's no objection we're going to adjourn to a 30 minute form to discuss the painting project, whatever the issue of contention is, and then call the meeting back to order. 30 minutes is not enough, you can also call the meeting back to order and say if there's no objection, we're going to extend the form for another 15 minutes in a parliamentary way, deal with that. But if it's just basically, well we want to hear from you, you took the time out of your day to come to the meeting, we finished the official business more times than not astound after the meeting, but it's not in the minutes and it's not a part of the official meeting, but indirectly it's a part of the annual meeting because you want to have that relationship with your owners that they can talk about things that may be important to them. Yes, and also I think the most effective actually to prevent disputes or reduce disputes between owners is to improve your communication between the board and the association owners, and think about it, people manage to take the time to attend the meeting, such a precious opportunity for you to have people together to have a meaningful discussion about the association issues, so you should really make full use of that opportunity. Well the annual meeting is a very important part of the condominium process, it's certainly you want to have the minutes and the record because of that, so we're going to take a break in one minute, but I want to ask you one quick question. Special meeting, what's the difference? The special meeting usually is called for specific purpose, so you need to just give an audience and hold the meeting just for that special purpose, usually for some important issues. So special meetings are member meetings, but it's limited to the notice of the meeting which you can discuss, although I'd point out a removal of directors can be done without notice at an annual or a special meeting. Now in that note we're going to take a short break, but this time went really quickly in talking about meetings, but we'll be right back in one minute. When I was growing up, I was among the one in six American kids who struggle with hunger. But with the power of breakfast, the kids in your neighborhood can think big and be more. Go to hungryis.org to make breakfast happen for kids in your neighborhood. One in three teens to smoke will lose years of these moments. It's your life. Don't miss a thing. Hey baby, that's you. I want to know will you watch my show. I hope you do. It's on Tuesdays at one o'clock and it's out of the comfort zone and I'll be your host, R.B. Kelly. See you there. That prior person on the commercial R.B. Kelly has his bodies in motion things, so I'm here trying to add that to my show. Anyway, we're talking about meetings, meetings, rules, regulations and risks and we've talked about annual meetings and special meetings and now we're going to talk about the basic business of the association board meetings and there's regular board meetings and special board meetings. So let's talk about regular board meetings, which is really the meat and potato the whole thing. So what is it and what is the regular board meeting? A regular board meeting would be all the board directors, you know, it's opportunity for them to regularly me to conduct a business that's within their authority to do for the association operation and stuff like that and owners has the right to participate except of the executive session. And sometimes I see boards do a lot of things offline by email and vote by email, not through the regular meeting. Is that a good idea? Generally not a good idea, but sometimes it's sort of necessary when you have urgent issues, I would recommend my clients for whatever they discussed over the email vote by email. They have to do a ratification officially at the next regular board meeting to sort of endorse that prior decision. If you look under parliamentary procedure, just a little footnote to that of let's just say you voted to spend $10,000 to do something by email vote and then you went ahead and signed the contract and then you go to the regular meeting and you say you want to ratify our earlier decision. You originally said yes could say no and you could be up the creek. Business has to be done in a regular meeting. I can understand that we had a situation where there was a gas leak and we had to shut the gas off making emergency repair because the building had no gas for their kitchens and in that case we went ahead and did an email vote that we were going to hire such and such a plumber to take care of this. Maybe the president had the authority to make that decision on an emergency like that. You have to do something. That's a true emergency but a lot of boards, they kind of extend what is an emergency or not and so it's highly recommended against email votes you should take action at a meeting. So we're going to have a meeting. Do I have to tell anybody about it? Oh yeah, you have to set out notices 72 hours in advance and post the notice at the project. And what does that notice include? The notice has to have basically a agenda telling people the date and time, the place of the meeting and what's going to be discussed at the meeting and the items. Yeah, it's interesting because originally under the old law until last year it was a daytime and place of meeting. Now it has to have the expected agenda on the notice as well. And so this is what we think is going to be on the agenda How does that prevent them at the meeting from adding or deleting things from the agenda? No, I mean things happen in real life business, yeah. Yeah, the board meeting is a business meeting and this is what we expect to discuss but they're not limited to that. It's not like a public hearing it's a business meeting of the board and this is what we expect to discuss so owners have some idea if they have a topic they're interested in but they're not limited to changing the agenda and adding or deleting items depending on their business needs of the night. But again, there's a good faith guideline there. When I just started my practice I remember we were working on a litigation case where certain board directors intentionally added on some agenda items near the very end of the meeting without any advance notice to the owners and they try to just do their business their own way. That's not appropriate and it's subject to contest by other owners so I would caution against doing that often. True. So speaking of the other, can I speak at the meeting? Can I participate? Yes and no in a way because the board meeting the whole purpose is actually for the board to conduct their business. If an owner wants to be, let's see, they definitely cannot make a motion to do something like that but I would see there would be opportunities if the board is seeking input from an owner or there's an owner's forum then that's your opportunity to really talk and communicate. Yeah because the statute last year was changed also requiring boards to adopt owner meeting participation rules. I've always recommended they put that at the bottom of the notice and basically the law says that on any agenda item the board should be, and actually the owner should be allowed a reasonable time to make an input. So we suggest the board should we paint the building blue or pink in my example. Okay the first the board will discuss it I like blue I like pink blah blah blah Okay before we vote on that though any owners have any input I like blue I like pink and I like blue because and then okay thank you we're going to vote now. It's not meant as a debate between the board and owner in a shouting match and disrespectful but the law is pretty clear that owners have a right to participate in the meeting on items on the agenda for a limited time and the board has a right to limit the time because most boards will are small and they work well together and they're not really into you only get two minutes most people all get along and they have a discussion but they do have the right to limit the participation if it gets out of hand so the business can get done for the need. You know the other thing I've heard of and have you heard of the expression committee of the whole the committee of the whole is under Robert's rules where the board might meet as a board to have a quote work session but they can't take any votes there and owners don't go it's just a private meeting of the board called a committee of the whole it's defined under Robert's rules where boards can sit down and talk about an issue in greater detail and then when it's ready for the regular agenda the regular board meeting is brought up at the regular board meeting and then they will have a discussion and vote at that time. I think our viewers ought to know that there is something called committee of the whole that boards can do and they do occasionally meet on a kind of board right now and they have construction issues and on some repairs and we occasionally meet as a committee of the whole with the architect or engineer and a lengthy session because it would really extend the board meeting so long that it wouldn't be productive and the kind of things being talked about or more specifications and what did you pick this product and that's done as a committee of the whole and it's certainly lawful. So how about voting in board meetings? Board directors cannot vote by proxy but you know they can't participate let's say by phone if you know the documents the project documents does not prohibit that. Is it important that the board members individual votes be recorded in the minutes? Yes sometimes if there's dissenting opinions you know that's also very important to notify that in the meeting minutes and if there's conflict interest standing for more voting those should all be reflected in the meeting minutes. In theory and I didn't warn you of this potential question I never know what I'm going to say. So you go to a board meeting and there's a motion to do something and some people think it's a breach of their fiduciary duty and so the vote is four in favor and one against so if there's a lawsuit against the board and maybe the directors individually assume the one who said no I don't want to do that would be protected. I think so and that's the purpose where you should have accurate meeting minutes reflecting you know the different opinions and the basis for that. So special board meeting what's the difference? A special board meeting you know similarity is called for a special purpose and you also have to follow the notice requirements and talk of you know like to do the business notifying the agenda. So it's kind of like a special meeting of owners except it's the board and you're again limited to the item for the call of the meeting the only difference would be at a special members meeting you can remove the board at a special board meeting other than the official notice there's nothing you can do we're going to talk about the settlement of the lawsuit that's what we're going to talk about and I've seen often special meetings called where it's published the notice there an agenda says our only agenda item is to go to executive session to discuss the current lawsuit on such and such and they do it that way because the statute requires that executive sessions be called from a regular meeting or special meeting and the notice be what it's going to be talked about but they don't want owners all running down there thinking they're going to do other business when they're limited because of special meetings so they put in a notice the only thing we're going to do is go to executive session to discuss the ongoing lawsuit with the contractor whatever it may be so going into that what is an executive session? Executive session usually if the association has some sensitive matters let's say personnel or you know like any lawsuit or in the process of negotiating a certain contract or any topic that's like attorney kind privilege or you know that's the collection you have an owner dispute you want you know resolve between the owners those kind of things you want to go into a private session you know and then talk about it and then you know that's not part of the regular meeting it's not reflected in the meeting minutes either. The thing I've seen often beside the personnel and legal things where they have a dispute with a specific owner on something and they want to deal with it so the owners can speak freely and the board can speak freely to try to resolve it as it's only involving the board and that owner so I often see the owners are invited to that portion of an executive session related to their dispute it may be to negotiate a payment plan under delinquency it may be they have a dog violation problem or something they want to talk to the board about and try to resolve it we often see that in an executive session because it's somewhat a private matter it's only an association matter but they have that free discussion but as required when they come out of an executive session if they've decided to do something finitely not just they'll never do something they'll put the association at risk but if they've decided we've approved in general we've approved a payment plan for a delinquent owner they would just make a general statement what they did at the executive session. Yes correct and before you go to that you also need to reflect in the meeting minutes you know what's the general nature of the thing you're going to talk about at the executive session. We're down to our last minute so in 30 seconds you'll ask to find a written consent Yes so that's a vehicle used for getting ownership approval if you are unable to get it through a vote at an annual meeting or association special meeting then you should consider using written consent you know it's very effective for a lot of stuff that you're making in the association business like a loan approval like amending certain project documents or passing certain resolution policies affecting ownership interests then you should consider using that it's only good for a year the consent you get back if you couldn't get enough percentage you got to restart the whole process. Well we're out of time but I want to thank you again for being here it's always fun to talk with you about these issues I feel like we never have enough time because these issues are somewhat complex. We hope you as our viewers learn a little bit to spark your attention and spark your interest. We always say in technical issues you should confer with your attorney to make sure because every issue is kind of a little bit different. We want to thank you for watching Kondo Insider we'll see you again next week in aloha.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz2EXzBS600", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I am here at Summit Audimonde in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2022 Chevrolet Silverado has the 6.6-liter V8 gas engine. It puts out 401 horsepower.

Get updates on the videos I do each and every day. And stay current on our ever-changing and vast heavy-duty truck inventory here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with some of the best wheels I've seen on a Silverado. 20-inch painted and polished aluminum. They are the factory wheels. And it has Goodyear Wrangler trail runner AT tires. These are LT275-65R20s. I would say they have 80% to 90% of the tread left on them. Frame and underbody is in nice shape. It is a clean title history. Two owner out of Idaho and Wisconsin. Front fender is in excellent condition. No dents or dings in there. Headlight lenses are nice and clear. It does have the LED fog lamps, the front bumper parking sensors, the tow hooks as well. No dents or dings on that front bumper looks really good. And the grille is in really nice condition as well. The hood is in excellent shape. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. And the passenger side front fender is in really nice condition as well. Passenger side front wheel, no major scuffs or scrapes on there. Cherry red tint coat has just a little bit of metal flake to it. Really a good looking color. Paints in excellent condition. And as you go down this side of this 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you're far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle you can see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at. Before you even get here so when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises. You can make a smart and informed mind decision from wherever you're at. Now if this video helps you make that buying decision let your salesmen know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back wheels in excellent shape and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Frame and underbody is in really nice condition. It's like that all the way underneath has all the remaining factory exhaust. Hasn't been altered in any way. Lower rockers all look really good. And it comes with the nice factory step bars. You also get side box steps on this truck. Passengers side box very nice and clean. I didn't see any denser dings in there. Coming around to the back the rear bumper is in great shape. Has the rear bumper parking sensors, the rear bumper steps, the full towing package which includes the receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. And the tailgate is in excellent condition as well. It is a power drop down tailgate. Comes with a nice bed mat. You do get seven pin wiring back here and LED bed lights. There is no gooseneck or anything back here. And we'll get that folded back up after the video. But tailgate shuts nice and solidly. Has a back flip fold up tonneau cover. There it went. I didn't see any denser dings on that. That's in really nice condition. Those are expensive tonneau covers. Coming around the driver side, just as clean as that passenger side, no major dents or dings on there. And for full disclosure, this back wheel is in excellent condition as well. Down the rest of this side of the truck, doors and cab all look really good. This one has the telescopic tow mirrors, blind spot monitoring, LED side lights. They're heated and have directional signals on the side. They telescope out like so and they fold in like that. You also get LED front lights on there. Coming around to the back seats are an excellent conditional rips, no tears. You get the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost. Headrests fold down like so. Smells very clean inside this truck. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. These seats fold up. You get the almost completely flat floor back here. All weather floor mats, two USBs and a 12-volt power point. They fold down like that and you get child safety locks on the back doors. Inside and bottoms of the doors are fantastic. Look really good. This is a super nice truck. Here is the VIN sticker, no previously owned in Canada trucks here. And then the tire and loading information sticker right there. Up front, the 1LT package gives you the black cloth interior. You get the 40, 20, 40 split bench seating in the front here. No rips, no tears, power driver seat with lumbar, factory all weather floor mats, auto headlamps, push button four wheel drive. It does have tilt, telescopic steering wheel, fog lights, cargo lamps and power windows locks and mirrors and these mirrors actually power fold in. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this one has to offer on the interior. You can see this truck has 7,424 miles on it. You do get a compass display in that digital instrument cluster. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. This one comes with the heated leather wrap steering wheel, Bluetooth and information center controls and the right cruise controls and heated steering wheel controls and the left audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. There's your shift it for that six speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. This one has the Chevy infotainment system. You do get AM FM and serious and Bluetooth capabilities on here. You get all your different apps including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. And while that's important, why that is important because this one does not have the factory navigation system, but it does have those programs where you can project your cell phone to the screen. So if you've got Waze or Google Maps on your phone, project it right up there and it's like you have nav on the screen. So that's a really neat system. I'll show you the camera as soon as the truck is on cause that's gotta be on for that to work. Down here are your more tactile volume tune and climate controls, including the dual climate controls including your heated seat buttons, parking sensors, power drop down tailgate, hazard lights, stability control and you can put all four windows down at the same time. Factory brake controller, push button start, USB-C, USB and a 12 volt power point. Here's your keyless entry with your remote start and power drop down tailgate button on there. Fastener side, glove boxes, floor mat and seat are in excellent condition. Once again, smells very clean inside this truck. I don't think it's ever been smoked in and the headliner is absolutely perfect. You get map lights up there on Star and SOS buttons. Let's start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. I'm gonna put those cargo lamps on cause that's how you turn on your LED side lights and the hood's open. But like I said, no check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. There are the LED side lights there are very bright and the directional signals on there. And hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality condition options and of course, cleanliness of this truck all the way around inside and out. They're those LED fog lamps. They are very bright. All the lights working nicely. And under the hood we have the 6.6 liter V8 gas engine engine base very clean, runs very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. This truck is 100% ready to go. Shocks are doing a nice job holding that hood up. And there is the emissions sticker. My job is very easy when I get to video trucks as nice as this one. And I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint. I would ship this one anywhere. California, Texas, New York, Florida. Sell it to a friend, family member. Whoever is going to get this truck is going to be very happy with it.

My guest today is Sean Christopher Ali Stone, who has been a spiritual seeker all his life, studying meditation and global religious traditions since his father took into India, Nepal, and Tibet at 10 years of age.

Sean is accessible on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Sean, welcome back to Dear to Dream. It's great to have you. Thank you, Debbie. It's a pleasure to be back and to, as you say, to be here to put some ideas outside the box and push the envelope. Yeah, the first thing that's notable to me in your amazing bio, it's always weird hearing your own bio, isn't it? You know, it makes me feel like I've done a lot in my life and I feel like I've done, you know, just very minimal. So it's always a nice, I think it's a nice reminder that, you know, I think each of us has accomplished a lot more than we realize. Nice, yeah, there is already a legacy being born there. So your father took you to India and Nepal and Tibet at 10 years of age. Talk to me about that. What did that open up for you? What kind of illumination was created there? It's a great story because, you know, I came as a kid at that time, 10 years old. I think I was spoiled American, you know, from a good background, you know, I had a lot of willpower. A lot of children have that, but I especially was a very stubborn, willful child. And so having grown up really with that ability, like, you know, I just command, okay, I want a toy, I'm gonna get that toy. I want, you know, whatever it is, it's like the sweets, the toys, the sort of the ideal, you know, middle class, upper middle class dream. It was like, you know, whatever I wanted to accept my fingertips. And all of a sudden you go from that, you know, privilege that we have in America, we enjoy in America. And, you know, in America they hide poverty. If there's nothing poverty here, but it's much more hidden. It's much more, not so much about the idea of, how do you say, the extremes are actually more hidden in a sense here where it's like, you know, people are poor, but like, they might still have a television, right? They might still have, you know, some of the basic amenities like air conditioning and things like that. Whereas when you're poor in a place like India, that's a poverty of a complete nature, where I literally saw a mother with her infant child dying in the streets, right? As a, you know, as a 10 year old kid seeing this experience and recognizing the nature of poverty that was so different. It was so beyond anything that you could experience. Yeah, probably in parts of America, I'm sure in parts of Mississippi, in places like that that are almost third world. Yeah, that exists. But the actual direct experience of seeing death, right in front of your eyes, disease, really just nothing, people with nothing. You're living in squalor, right? Living in little, you know, complete homelessness, destitution outside of sky rises. We're seeing that a little bit more now in America, obviously the growth of homelessness, but this was a different extreme. And so I think it was for me in a wake up call to say, wow, I've been so materialistic. I've been so attached to things that, you know, obviously like I was talking to at that time, I remember I was 10 years old, there was a Dalai Lama, not the Dalai Lama. So I was a young Lama, a Panchan Lama or something that I was talking with. And this Panchan Lama was my age. And he was sitting there meditating and he had like, you know, just nothing. He just was in his being as a student of Buddhism. He was in meditation, he was calm. And here I was and I'm like, where are your toys? You know, like where, you know, what do you do for fun, right? Like I need stimulation, right? We have so much to stimulate us here in the Western material world. And there, you know, people just, the way of being is, it's a little bit different. You're more maybe in tune with the moment and the experience of just, you know, finding joy in the small things. So it shifted my entire worldview from that point forward. I was very stricken at heart, torn in my heart between, wow, like this materialism of the West and like all these things that we want, the American dream and everything you dream you can get. And I'm like, but is that really what makes us happy? And I'm like looking at the squalor, this destitution and so I really, that was the beginning of my trajectory as a student of history, of social, of society, of sociology, of human nature and trying to understand like what is it that we're really doing on this earth? Because if it's just to aspire to have more goods and things, I don't see us any happier as a result of it. I see, you know, plenty of Americans suffering and still like in that rat race. And yet I could say that there's more joy in sometimes than seeing the people that are living in squalor, but they're just happy to be alive and grateful for the little things they do have. They're more human and engaged as human beings. So that's the spiritual path. And that's really what opened my vision to the idea of, okay, what is a spirit that really unites us as humans and guides us and that we are on, we have to awaken the metaphysical awakening journey that I realized we were on. And I knew it was coming to America and it really came post 9-11 for me because I started to look deeper. I'm like, great, this is a wake-up call. Death exists where, you know, we live with death every day. We ignore it. And the rest of the world, they don't ignore it. They look at death every day and they live with it. So how can we start to confront death so that we can become more spiritual, more connected, more here, more present? You were inspired recently to take this philosophical collection of poems written in 1927 by Max Ehrman called Desiderata. And you wrote this really lovely illustrated audible book called Desiderata, A Cosmic Fairy Tale by Ali, Your Chosen Islamic Name. How did the idea of Desiderata compel you to dive into poetry and put this out at this time? Yeah. So you mentioned the Max Ehrman poem Desiderata. I think a lot of people have heard it. It's like, go quietly amidst the noise and haste. Remember what peace there might be in solitude. You are a child of the stars. And you're a child of the stars. I mean, there's that kind of language in it. You are a child of the stars. You know, you have a right to be here. I mean, these are the notions in that great epic. And it's a very small poem. I have it hanging in my desk. My mother, I think, gave it to me when I was a kid. And so I always loved the sentiment behind it. And then when I started writing what became Desiderata, Cosmic Fairytale by Ali, as you say, it's unaudible. That story was, to me, it came like a download. It was almost transmitted to me. I just wrote it out over the course of a few weeks. But it's essentially the poem of a fall of two lovers who are in their paradise. It's like, you know, the Adam and Eve story, right? They're finding each other and all of a sudden they're cast out of their love affair, their ideal world by the sorcerer. And the sorcerer is jealous. He wants that love for himself. And so through the incarnations on earth, it's a timeless journey of the man's character questing to find this woman, this love. And it's like he finds her in the form of the mother, in the form of the crush, in the form of the seductress, in the form of a companion, in the form of his jealousy for a woman. And so it's like all these different forms that he finds her in. But it's his journey to essentially realize that there's a transcendent nature to this reality. There are things that transcend this world. And so it's a very philosophical, lyrical journey, as you know, through the emanations of what it is to be human with this feeling like we're not really from this world. We're not really, you know, we're not ending here. We're not from here. But we're journeying for the purpose of learning and expanding in this poetic dance that is life. But ultimately, this is not the end. This is not the end of the game. It's just, you know, this is just one iteration of exploration for us to know what separation is, how we are separated from our source, from the essence of love that creates us, that we call God, we call, you know, the creation creator and how we've been separated from that. But ultimately, we are journeying back to it as we dive into this journey and trust the journey of, you know, what it is to be a human and to feel it and to not evade it and run from it and say, I don't want the dark. I don't, I only want the light. It's like, no, both have to go together so that we can remember what it is that is oneness. Yeah, there's an excerpt from the Audible book, Desiderada, that you wrote, which is, in the flowing tides of galloping quest, we have set eyes on each other, then lost our sight over and over until we learned to forget the chase. So here we have this epic poem, as you said, of two lovers. Is there something personal for you in the download and what you put out? Because I know you're actually in a relationship with your beloved, Kaya. So how does that manifest, that whole inner search that you put out in your poem? Yeah, I mean, I think it's a very personal story. I mean, to me, that's my soul's story. I wrote it before I even really met Kaya in this lifetime, but I had known as a soul what it is to go through loss. And I really feel, I'm not to say like I've suffered more in this lifetime or that lifetime, but I just, I feel the suffering of loss very deeply. And I think it has to do with many lifetimes of having known loves and sort of expressions of our, you wanna say, of kingship, of success, of at the same time, hubris of pride and how the pride brings the fall. And I feel like I feel like I've been through the loss of Atlantis, for example. I know what it is to see civilizations wiped out. I know what it is to see like the greatest dreams of different life forms perish and wiped away. And so as a soul, I feel very much in pain by seeing the world as it is now, because I see so much of what we could be if we really trusted what we are. We trusted that, which is the like the essence of what it is to be when you're a child and you come into this world and people look and they're like, oh, what's the child? What have you drawn today? Wow, that's so powerful. It's so beautiful. They look, they listen to you when you're a child. They're so interested when you're a child. Then as life goes on, we lose the child and we become the adult and we become rigid. And it becomes, oh, that's an ideal. That can never happen. And all of a sudden we shut out all the dreams that we come into this world with, all the energy, that pure energy to say, wait a minute, why are we behaving backwards? Why are we treating each other like enemies? Why are we putting each other into slavery, putting ourselves into slavery and subjecting ourselves to servitude and to the feeling of squashing our own dreams? Why are we doing that to ourselves? Why are we killing the child inside of us? Because the child in us is what has the memory of what our soul has been through. We've seen it. And I think part of it is there's a trauma that we carry, which is, wow, we've seen worlds get destroyed. We've seen so much life die. We've seen the greatest love affairs. You can read about them in the histories. Anthony and Cleopatra, what happens? Well, they kill, he dies, she kills herself. I mean, that's kind of, Romeo and Juliet, it's like that's kind of how there's a certain bitterness that comes with being human. And you have to in a sense go through that bitterness, through the pain to then reconnect to that inner joy that really is what brought you here, what seeded you here, what brought you into existence. So it's like, that's what we have to get back in touch with is, yes, we have done a lot of things through many lifetimes, we've hurt, we've tortured, we've conquered, we've committed atrocities, genocides, wars, but there's still life. And if we can just get back in touch with it, any moment it's right there, it's waiting for us, it's in the eyes of the child and it's in your heart right now. And if that's what this poem really is about, it's like connecting back to your heart and saying, wait a minute, there is a love that brings everything in this world into existence and it's in this universe into existence and if we can just connect to it and it's not just in your partnership. It's like, yes, you can bring it into your partnership but you can do it on your own too and just reconnect to it because we have that opportunity every moment to recreate this world. I gotta ask you as a man in a successful relationship, what is it that you do, especially as a man, what do you do in order to show up? Because as far as I'm concerned, at least my experience thus far, inherent in relationships, there's all the amazing good stuff but then there's the category that's more difficult. A lot of people say, oh, that's your core trigger wounds that you come up against and in every relationship, you're gonna bring that up in each other and it's of course what you do with it, you can walk away and do that over and over again and never maybe really find we love or you can say, I'm sticking with this, there's so much good here but how can we work through this? What kind of tools do you utilize, Sean, that help you transcend those things, that help you take a deep look, be responsible, whatever it is you do? It's work, I mean, I'm not gonna lie and say that a conscious communication is pristine because she brings her wounds and I think she talks about this in some of her work and the nature of the wounds of the feminine, right? The wounds that women carry in their DNA and their soul memory, even in their own lifetime of what they've seen, right? And you can speak of it where there's different wounds that even different ethnic groups bring but the female wound has been what? It's been basically living in what people call patriarchy. I think it's actually more rightly defined as a boy's rule. It's like the people that are ruling have never been, not men, these are not kings with Solomon, with wisdom and the grand ability to really hold the space for justice and for the female energy. It's like, these are not kings, these are boys that have been ruling our civilizations for at least thousands of years now. Boys who pretend to be men, basically are playing out their little, their cracked egos that are broken and splintered off and they have so much shadow that they haven't worked through, they wanna pretend that they're something that they're not. And so I think the overall nature of our society is very much parasitic and it's been called patriarchy but it's just called what it is, it's parasitic society. And so either way, it's fed upon female energy, it's the based women, it's two women's objects and women also play into that problem just as much as much as you know, it's easy to say the men done it, women also treat each other in that way of jealousy and not holding space and love for each other or not being able to honor and even themselves, right? Because there's a woman, a feminine wound about how do I love myself, how do I treat myself in a way that is respectful of my boundaries but also exploratory and open, right? There's this fear, there's always this battle between we're going through it right now, between security and liberty, right? And we're sitting in our society, okay I wanna be secure, I wanna put my mask on, I'm gonna have gloves on, I'm gonna stay six feet away and not 12 feet away and not 20 feet away and it's like there's that issue within all beings which is more security and then there is the desire for freedom and to have that freedom. So that's the balance and then also working through the same thing obviously as far as where is our natural impulse to be free and to be the man and we by nature have been explorers, conquerors, we're the ones that set sail and disappear for months and it's like that's also in our DNA so there's a reason women have a certain fear, right? And at the same time there's a fear for men of saying well how do we stay in a relationship that feels safe and contained but at the same time has a fluidity and an openness to receive other people and to receive energy from others. So I think it's an ongoing, it's an ongoing dance, right? There's not to say like one way alone of answering how to hold space or to show up. I think that in my case I consider myself a very open person. For me it's like I believe in holding space and not judging as much as possible. Really like no matter what someone has done, if you can listen and hear it and understand it then you're doing the greatest service towards their evolution and towards their ultimate healing. If we can't understand each other, if we can't understand where we're coming from, you see? Then we go into ignorance and blindness which is simply to react and to reject or to judge or criticize, right? And so for me I think from my showing up it's one of my strengths. And to separate I have to say if you're gonna react, judge and criticize you're also gonna ultimately separate. Yes. Which is like one of the greatest core wounds to feel abandoned and alone. Unhurt, right, and then abandoned. That's exactly, I mean it's like we were talking about this recently. The abandonment wound which I think is essentially an aspect of being human, right? This sense of wow, I'm here and I don't really know what the heck I'm doing. Like where is God? Where are the angels? Where are the extraterrestrials? Where are all the beings that can guide me? And it's like you just gotta trust, you gotta learn to trust your intuition. You gotta go through this journey and it's okay because there's the control freak side that ultimately gets in the way. That becomes the dark side. The dark side wants to control everything and say don't go there, don't do that, don't do this, don't do that. That's gonna hurt you. And it's like it's your journey. It's each one of us learning and sometimes you gotta fall down. It's actually you can't learn to walk without falling down. You can't jump without falling down. It's part of the process. So the control side of things doesn't want to even explore. It doesn't even want to like try it because it's so scared of letting go and actually it's like our only freedom comes when we let go. That's when we can fly. Flying indeed. So we're gonna take a very quick pause here and we come back. I'll be speaking to Shawn Stone about some ETs, about some portals, about things maybe listeners don't know about. And first I wanna tell you about a dog anthology. At this time, I decided to produce something joyful with levity. So there's a dog anthology. It's seeking authors to write a chapter. It's called Dogs Are Paradise. You can sign up at debbd.net slash anthology. You can be a published author, not write an entire book. You can be an international bestselling author. It's guaranteed as part of the package. It's actually a huge package. Do you have a story to tell, a tale, a dog's tale? Because authors are signing up right now and you can too to write a chapter about a dog in this new compilation book. And when you come aboard, you'll be a published bestselling author in 2020. If it is time and you're interested, go register debbd.net slash anthology. It's spelled D-E-B-B-I-D.net slash anthology. And if you're tuning in after we started, I'm speaking with Sean Stone, his new Audible book, that's a Dorada by Ali, is available from Audible on Amazon. And Sean, okay, so many places to dive. So let's do the ET because you brought that up. And we did get a listener question for you. So I wanna go right there. Regarding ETs and ET technology, what if any ETs are you in contact with? And how are you in contact with them? Meaning, do you get visions through meditation? Is it telepathically? And if so, what kind of intel can you provide that is not readily available to the general public? What a great question. Yeah, yeah. I, that's difficult. Personally, I feel a connection to a lot of different star systems. There's, symbolically in my life, there's been a lot of Orion energy. But also Sirius, the, like more of the, some of the blue beings in the Sirius star system. The Lyrans have shown up, the, I mean, the Pleiadians certainly are there. I'm not gonna say that, but what do you mean by shown up? How did they show up? Well, I'll get there. The Arcturians are involved. What I'm trying to get at is, we're talking really more about interdimensional beings than something like a physical visitation, right? We're talking interdimensionally, that there are things that we can't, I mean, we simply cannot fathom. The human consciousness is not designed in the old modality at the two, two-stranded, double-stranded, double helix DNA modality, which was probably affected and tampered with by some level of the visitors. That version of humans was not designed to really see outside of the 3D realm, right? So many people misconstrued that level of consciousness to believe that was the end of consciousness. And so it's like telling me that you're basically a rat in a maze and you don't realize that the shadows that are being cast and the things that are affecting you beyond that maze, we would understand to be human, but at the level of the rat, they would never conceive what a human is. They would not be able to understand it. They would see maybe a finger here, they would feel something there touching them, they would see a shadow. They wouldn't understand how to conceive of what a human looks like, right? Same with an ant, an ant can't see a human. It's like their perception is not allowed to see the being that is us. So that's why, for example, cats and other things, we know they see into other frequencies of existence, other frequencies of movement and beyond what our instruments, that is the human instrument and then even instruments that we invented can only measure a certain spectrum. So when we talk about what is an ET, I mean, you can't, there may be people that have, I don't doubt that people can physically see an ET or have seen an ET, but for me, it resonates more with the idea of beings beyond the third dimension that are in touch with us and they affect us more at the level of channeling or they show up maybe in ayahuasca journeys. Certain people are more sensitive when they start to feel something working through them or speaking through them and they inquire where these beings came from. So the star systems that I mentioned, I have had resonance with between my intuition that of others, let's say, psychics that I have talked with over the years and there's a certain consistency of the star systems that come up. And in terms of my own intuition about my being, I feel that I am more of a hybrid of a multitude of star systems that ultimately it's as though the different star systems are effectively coming into more self understanding and actually more harmony with each other even through their progeny, which is us. You see, we are the children of different star systems for a reason. It's the same as like, for example, why different races, when they come together, it's like you start to mingle the DNA and the memory and the bloodlines of different races and it starts to create more harmonics actually between those races, right? It's very difficult to go to war with someone when you share the same children. So that's the way I see it as a galactic journey is that the human experience of separation coming from separation to more unification as a planet, as a one planet is actually also helping the overall cosmos come into greater concord. Interesting, okay. And so is there anything? Look, you're on, you do buzz saw on Gaia. I know you speak to some really fascinating people, some of whom have also been on this show and some of whom I have not had the honor to talk to yet, but I would love to know between the conversations you've had and the experiences and maybe even the psychics you've spoken to, what is prevalent that we may not be privy to? What's going on with these and with the external energy and us in our planet? I have no idea what the other psychics would say, what I'm picking up on and I think it's maybe, you know, again, where we are, the interesting thing about life, we can only see where we are. You see, what comes back to us in terms of our consciousness is that when we reach a certain place, we start to see the world from that perspective, right? So it becomes certain perspective that we have becomes more pronounced and gets reflected back to us. So what I'm seeing reflected back is an awareness of what's called the great awakening, right? There are those that are recognizing and they're starting to reach that frequency of great awakening. I don't necessarily know that all of humanity will reach that great awakening because there's billions of people here. Everyone has to choose their own path. There are those who will go with the New World Order plan. There may be a separation of Earths in a sense vibrationally or even just within our own planet. It's as though the reality of someone who's living in the Amazon right now is totally different than the reality of someone living in a city. We are at the point, what they call great awakening or as being, you know, hashtag great awakening is there's a reason that this theme is coming up. And those of us who are more sensitive to it have felt it in our bodies. We've felt the frequency shifting, right? There's a heavy difference. Even sleep being so interrupted. Oh, my goodness, so much of this question, right? And then throughout the whole night feeling these upgrade frequencies. Precisely. So for Kaya and I, we've certainly been feeling it for well over a year now and we've been put on a certain trajectory that is to say almost like digital nomads such to the place that when this pandemic occurred, we really weren't affected by it because we'd already shifted out of the modality of the city life and the grid and the system. So that's not to say that, you know, we're profits in any sense. It's just to say that we are in tune with, I believe with our Dharma. And the Dharma has to do with the beginning of what is called a new earth or really the ascension process. And the ascension process, it's real. It's happening. Humans are being challenged in ways that they think has to do with physical reality and viruses, but this is all symbolic. See the key to understanding life is at the symbolic level. That's what it's about. It's about the symbol and what does it mean to you? You know, what is the symbol of a virus? What is the symbol of a city? What is the symbol of power? I mean, all these things are symbolic. When they occur, for example, people talk about the Illuminati, that's the level of symbolism, right? So that's why Masons and other occult schools have always spoken through symbolism, use of certain codes, certain phrases, certain hand signals, certain images. It's the symbolic nature, but all of life is symbolic actually. It's all affecting us at the level of symbol. When we see something, it's a symbol to us because the way that I experience, for example, you know, I can give you anywhere, if I experience a pyramid, it'll be experienced by me in a different way than it'll be experienced by you. So at the symbolic level, we are beginning this ascension process in what is considered the global experience of pandemic, crisis, chaos, fear. That is to clean out your being, shake you up and essentially find out where do you fit into this new schematics? Are you someone that's going to basically kowtow to what the agenda of the overlords tells you? Will you become basically as subservient person within a new world order structure? Or are you someone that is going to actually go to the earth, connect to earth, especially in these time periods, connect to your soul, really feel into what's taking place at a much deeper level and start to really awaken because all the evidence is out now. You know, we talk about things, conspiracies. There's nowhere you can go at this point. You can go online and search and you wanna see UFOs, you'll see UFOs. You wanna learn about the conspiracies, it's there. Buzzsaw, we talked about all of this stuff. And if you can't accept that until the mainstream media tells you it's true, then your entire thinking is wrong because you shouldn't need the mainstream media to affirm something when you know the truth. I don't, you know what I'm saying? It's like, you don't need a dogma. You don't need a religion to tell you the truth. You don't need a politician to tell you the truth. You don't need someone on CNN to tell you the truth. The beauty of the ascension process is that we become the sovereigns, each one of us as humans. We become the sovereigns of our domain, of our being. We know we have the inner gnosis, the inner technology to know, to recognize and discern the truth, which is ultimately for our journey and not to say the truth for me is the truth for you. But I don't need someone to affirm it. I don't need someone to tell me this is the way to think. This is the way to behave. This is how to feel. That time period was the school of the Piscian age. Where do we enter in? We're entering the age of Aquarius. That's where you exit the school. You become the bearer of the water. You become the bearer of the information and the wisdom. Trust in you, that's the power. You are the revolution. Oh my God, what a huge takeaway. I really felt the potency of that, having sovereignty over oneself, one's life, one's potency. Like that's really a beautiful notion out of this chaos and being shaken up and awoken up all at the same time about what's possible. So what are you doing every day to get through this? I know you've got your morning, wait, your meditation, meditation, your morning meditation, which is an awesome play on words. And I know I've seen pictures, we're friends on Instagram and Facebook, so I've seen your pictures out there in the clips and everything. So what are you doing on a daily basis? What are your rituals that are really keeping you awake and connected to more of the frequencies and downloads right now? Of course, of course. Again, I mentioned getting back to the earth. I think it's very important. As an earth thing? In a sense of just getting out of the cities. Kai and I have really been drawn to more Texas, to just the earth energy, to being away from the cities, to doing our practice. I mean, certainly she teaches breathwork, which is itself a very powerful tool to access the unconscious mind and to essentially bypass all the thoughts and the things that get in the way of our experience of life. But breathwork is important. I do my meditation, I think Qi Gong, I think Kudalini yoga, I think practices like this can be really important to move the energy. Certainly you want to stay in, you really want to be in touch with the body at this point because our body is, let's be honest, it's our vessel into this world, it's our instrument in this world. If we don't honor and protect and value this body, well, we have nothing, we'll be taken away. It'll fall, it doesn't matter if it falls to a corona or to a flu or to a cancer or you name it, there's a million things in this world that will kill you. So, it shouldn't be this, that's why I get so baffled by this nature of this pandemic because the whole point is, it's about our own immune system, it's our own bodies and it's not the virus that will kill you, it's toxicity that will kill you. We're living in atmospheres and environments that are toxic to the human body, whether it's the overall, the smog levels, the pollution in the water sources, the GMO's and the food. I mean, you can name a thousand different ways that we are toxicity leaching into our environment, into our bodies, right? And then, now they're magnifying it with this 5G rollout, which is to say to put cell towers, they're trying to put cell towers on almost every home. I mean, think about the insanity of that. When I was a kid in the 90s, it was basic knowledge. You didn't put a cell phone to your head and you didn't wanna live right next to a cell tower. And now they think that it's okay to put a cell tower on everyone's home because people just want faster internet. I'm sorry, at some point you have to say enough is enough with your lies. You're literally killing us with these lies. The toxicity we've seen in our lifetime has grown and yet they call us conspiracy theorists for calling it out. So, the point is that if we don't recognize the toxicity is what kills, it's not viruses that kill. You have, I don't even know how many viruses in your body right now. I do too. That's part of life. Viruses also have helped us to make up our current DNA and our current DNA structure is filled with viruses and bacteria. That's fine. That's not what kills us. What kills us is the toxicity. And that's what we're not focused on because we have, again, we follow the mainstream media. We follow the reports of people that they call themselves the scientific establishment and they're no different than the priest class of old. The ones that told you this is how you have to live the life of your life. Otherwise you will go to hell and you will go to heaven. It's like, no, where is the alternative media allowed? It's not allowed on YouTube and on Facebook. It's not allowed in the mainstream media. They don't give voice and platform to alternative points of view on these things. So, why can't we at least have the courage to listen and think for ourselves and to realize there's a reason that everyone in America is sick at some level. I mean, I could say everyone but let's be honest, look around. I mean, we know this. There's obesity issues. There's cancer issues. So much going on that we can say it just has to do with basic self-care principles that are lacking. So really isn't it a conspiracy to talk about what's causing that or is it not just common sense? Right, right, right. And at least to investigate and make sovereign decisions about. So how about free energy or zero point energy? And for people wondering about that zero point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system can have. Do you know anything about free energy or have any new information on zero point energy? No, I mean, I'm not studied enough at this time to speak about zero points. Overall, I mentioned earlier about 5G and the rollout of these EMS systems and I just want to be clear. It's not that I'm opposed to the notion of wireless transmissions. I think what's missing is that A, the real debate and study of what are safe levels of transmissions of wireless really radiation, right? EMF radiation. But more importantly, there's a principle that I believe Tesla was getting into with his work and his studies well over a hundred years ago now. And it was the idea of tapping into natural earth energy. The idea that the earth, as we know, not only has a Schumann resonance but there's essentially energy within earth. There's energy within the human body is energy, right? We are coursing electric beings. The air around us is filled with energy. Tesla was trying to figure out how to transmit energy directly from the earth through the sky, right? Using natural means of conducting and distributing that energy. And I'm not saying if you whether or not you succeeded or not, I mean, I can't go there. But I'm saying that the idea of the philosophy is what interests me. Why is it that we don't want to challenge this rollout of EMF that really is gonna blanket the entire planet with a different frequency level that is can be argued as shown that can affect everything from the birds to the humans that it's in touch with, right? Our frequency is we are energetic beings. Rather than blanketing the whole planet with a new frequency, why can't we study more the idea of tapping into natural earth harmonics and natural earth frequencies for the powering of our technologies and for just for the evolution of technology in general which is one argument as to what the great pyramids were involved with in the first place was the idea that they may have been involved with transmitting energy to begin with. So to me, the overall shift in consciousness that has to come out of this ascension process is recognizing the human is not a 3D but as really a 5D and beyond being, fifth dimensional and beyond being that is to say energetic being that's interdimensional in our energy body but also in our thought processes we know we don't simply exist in three dimensional reality even our thoughts take us out of it. Our dreams certainly do. So if we can recognize more the fifth dimensional nature of the energy body that is the human being and how we are being affected all times by the energies around us can we become more intelligent in how we dispatch wireless energies and absorb the wireless energies that are being transmitted. Yeah, thank you for clarifying. I appreciate that. Excellent, yeah. And technology at its finest that's another way of altering DNA too. We're gonna take a very quick pause here.

How do you do it? Through media, it's so easy and beautiful and Ashawn was saying, why not have your own voice for media and teach what's really going on. So go to debbie-shinger.com slash visible visionaries that's D-E-B-B-I-D-A-C-H-I-N-G-E-R debbie-shinger.com slash visible visionaries. Welcome back, Dear to Dream, Debbie Daschinger. I'm interviewing Sean Stone. You can get his morning meditation at patreon.com slash Sean Stone. And Sean, let's see, I guess let me ask you with everything going on, this is Dear to Dream. What are you next Dear to Dream? What is your next dream for the future or the right after this that would be such a beautiful outcome for who we are and where we are and all the possibilities of what's happening? Absolutely, yes, yes, yes. No, the way that I would imagine the futures as we were moving through this ascension process or birthing a new earth, which is to say a new relationship to ourselves, to our planet, to each other, to our economy because how we relate to each other and how we transact with each other is our economy. I envision that we move away from the pyramidal structure of power, which is to say the even the issuing of money, currency from a central bank that issues it at interest. So essentially it's always, you're always in debt and forever in debt, actually in debt to that bank. I see it more that we are shifting into a transaction of energy between beings. And you can use the blockchain, for example, and that transparency as one means of helping to regulate it. It could be cryptocurrencies I could see involved in this whole thing to decentralize and re-regulate the overall nature of the transactions, but the overall idea is that instead of seeing currency as a fixed thing, a fixed thing that has to be issued, it actually as energy, because currency is what it's a current, it's energy. As energy, we always have more to offer each day. Every one of us has things to offer and it can be simple things, whether it's our consciousness, sharing consciousness becomes itself a modality of making money, whether it's sharing our consciousness as participants in platforms, even in terms of purchasing from a certain source. I say it like this, it's shifting away from the idea of I'm paying this corporate brand and I'm thankful to have its product as opposed to the idea of actually we're both thankful. The brand is thankful to have me as a client and have me as a consumer. And so there should be some more reciprocity shared between the brand and the consumer. And I think that translates then to all walks of life. So it's as though the overall nature of economy becomes valuing each human being that is your consumer, that is consuming your idea, your product, your food, whatever it may be. And at the same time, the consumer having, really appreciating what they're receiving so that we become more conscious as an economy and how we transact with each other, no longer listening to the mainstream narrative of follow this artist by that brand, shot from this major food chain. It's longer the centralization and consolidation of power that was the pyramid structure. It's more the harmonics of circles where everyone is in reciprocity with each other and doing reciprocity in the nature of your transaction so that there's much more respect and honor. So if we can, as light beings, just beings that are conscious, that are aware, that are looking for the, really the best interest of the planet of each other, come together and transact, we can shift, I believe, in creating our own economies that are perhaps outside of that so-called mainstream economy that really is promoting itself based on brainwashing through mask branding, playing commercials over and over again, putting themselves on billboards and whatnot, really to drive the money out of your hands, out of the hands of most people, into the hands of a few. And we're saying, no, it's not about the major conglomerate and monopoly anymore. It's really about the small and mid-sized businesses, all having a voice and all transacting amongst each other, not to have this mask, glamor, monopolies that was the dream of capitalism over the 20th century and ultimately led to a world where, as we know, the resources, the wealth is in the hands of what's called the 1%, and probably even fewer, if you really boil it down, it's the few thousand corporations that have so much power and influence in this planet. Now you and Kaya are doing breathwork workshops. You're working together at this time, is that right? And I know the name of that is Sacred Academy, or is it just her baby and you step in now and then? I'm just curious, if you can talk a little bit about breathwork, and what have you found there? So it's intentionally changing the breath, I've experienced it, and just share some, maybe what you've seen or what you've experienced that's been really altering. Yes, yes, so her academy is called Sacred Breath Academy. She founded it before I met her. I've done breathwork with her as far as she's, she has led groups and things like this and I've done breathwork, but I don't facilitate as a breathwork instructor, what I do with her, we do some workshops together, which is to say that we do offer people a sort of an opportunity to do both conscious and unconscious work. So the conscious work is to discuss during the workshop, to discuss things that people are going through at their soul level and their journey and bring up things like conscious communication techniques, various understandings basically of how we can become more integrated beings. I think that's really the thrust of what the workshop is and the second part of the workshops do entail a breathwork session that Kaia leads, but now her specialty is training actually, she trains teachers and other facilitators of breathwork and she teaches them all around the world, Bali, she does trainings and she's in North Carolina and California, so she's really more of a breathwork instructor and what does breathwork mean? Breathwork is really a modality that again, there are many different techniques because really you could argue that breathwork is involved with yoga, for example, it's involved with certain meditation techniques and mantras, her form of breathwork has more to do with going deep into the unconscious on these journeys to excavate maybe soul memories, wounds, traumas, also creative genius, I mean, she goes into a very deep hour long plus journey with her clients and so it's a very special experience and it's certainly one aspect of the workshops we offer together, but yeah, she has her own genius and her own brand and her own shamanic healing medicine to offer. You're so proud of her, it's really lovely to see. Yeah, well indeed, I mean, it's wonderful to see someone who was a young woman who was actualizing her gifts in a world I think that oftentimes, too often, many people, especially young women are falling into the traps of a corporate system that is really built on exploitation, let's be honest, especially of women in a way that's even, as we know, more gruesome. We see it all the time and it becomes daily habit to see women in the modeling industries or Instagram trying, modeling themselves, showing themselves off, just really using our sexual attraction to them to promote whatever brand or whatever message as opposed to someone like Kaya who's basically saying, use the gifts that you have as a woman to try to empower each other and teach and heal and get out of this modality of objectification. Yeah, it's funny you say that. I've been pegged quite a few times on Instagram by several companies to become a brand ambassador and I'll always do the due diligence and the research and it's amazing the photos I see and the way people are dressed. And I mean, it's like this step over from porn, honestly. And I was more recently approached by a bathing suit company and I don't know. So I do my research because I wanna make sure I'm in a complete alignment and integrity. If I'm gonna represent, I need to really feel good about a product and what I'm putting out there. So that's just a really low level way of experience to what I know exactly. And I'm curious, Sean, because so you've run businesses whether it was filmmaking or being a host or being a spokesperson or now some of these workshops you're doing but you've run many very successful businesses creatively. What are some of the habits that you have that help those businesses succeed? Well, I think, first of all, I'm a Capricorn. Okay, that answers everything. The Capricorn mentality is that we are very, very driven. In fact, one of the things that I've been working on doing is relaxing and seeing success less, looking at success less from the old modality, the old paradigm, which was based simply on the concrete results and everything that we have to put into it to get to that concrete results and actually learning to really be in love with the process and learning to just enjoy the process. That's really what it boils down to. Everything is process in life. And the problem we have actually a lot of us as a planet in that old paradigm was the notion that people were successful when they made a lot of money or they earned their businesses quarterly reports were good. And as we know, no business is gonna sustain itself forever. There's always gonna be peaks and troughs and cycles, but that's really the way the nature works. Nature is meant to be cyclical. It's meant, you're meant to have seasons of growth and the sun shines and you bask in that sun and then the fall comes and you may be going more internal in the winter times and you learn the earth has to die. You know, it's like the tree has to die. You have to die internally till you're born again in spring. These are the kind of things that interest me more. It's the process of what it is to be human and to feel and to experience and explore rather than saying, well, you know, how successful was the business? I mean, there's a great quote from Steve Jobs at the end of his life. He talks about, yeah, for all the watches and the billions that I've made and all this. It's like, I can't treat any of that for more time with my family. And, you know, that's really what it is. So many people in our society are sick with this desire for success. There. So many people are sick with the desire for success. They're sick with the desire for more, for acquisition, for proof of validation of what they are and they're not necessarily getting to really just live their life and explore their joy and their happiness. If we could, this is what the new paradigm of belief is about, the new earth's about letting go of the old expectation and aspiration that this will make you happy as opposed to saying, no, be happy in the process. And if you're happy in the process, that's what matters. And whatever that may be, it's why people are putting their jobs as CEOs. They're dropping out from that old structure. Again, parasitism, not patriarchy, but parasitism that was just, you know, about feeding the top and, you know, sacrificing yourself and suffering for the sake of the boss or the sake of the control apparatus that dictates a company policy. And people are saying, no, I'm done with that. I'm gonna go and travel the world, be a digital nomad, and just, you know, find my bliss. I mean, that's really what life's about, man. It's about being happy in the journey if you're fulfilled. And so for me, I've been fulfilled by my creative endeavors. I've been fulfilled by my writing processes, even though films that haven't been made, you know, it's like there's just so much joy in the actual writing and exploration of reality and the buzz saw interviews, you know, talking to people about things that are far out or writing Desiderada, which is, you know, just a beautiful love story. You know what, that's the joy. You know, if people can tap into it and enjoy it, then that makes me happy to share that with them. But I can't wait for a best seller to make me happy or the notion of that's what success is to make me happy. Yeah, that's truly being present. I love that. A metahuman with Deepak Chopra, what was the takeaway on the human experience for you after working on that project? That really blew my mind. I must say, I was, I told Kaya when I was making it, I said, I think I basically have left this old paradigm. That was very much for me a cracking of the old paradigm. That was like the end of it because there's a, the film itself really dives deep if people should watch it on YouTube. It's available metahuman, but it dives deep into this question of what the heck it means to be a human being? What am I? And the way Deepak poses it, it's just so beautiful. It's just like, you're just a consciousness. You know, you're just a consciousness that perceives itself as this because we have an ego. So we say, you know, I am Sean and you are Debbie. But it's like, we're just a consciousness having this experience. And along the way, you know, we're creating labels and judgments and beliefs, but really none of it is true. None of it lasts. It's just the experience in consciousness. And it's like, it's very easy to say that, but the more you actually dive into that understanding, it really will destroy your old worldview. It really will undermine the old belief system and structures because people, let's be honest, we've built the old paradigm, that old system of the pyramid of power because people wanted to give themselves some concrete finitude towards their reality because otherwise it's like, wait, what happens then? I don't have a boss to report to anymore. Oh my God, I'm free. That's the most terrifying thing of all. I mean, this is the existentialists talk about. They're like, this is the burden of freedom. This is, what do I do? How do I decide? Make the choice for me. Come on, give me the options. Coke or Pepsi. Don't tell me I have a million choices. I'm gonna go crazy because people have put themselves into slavery. That's what, that's the beautiful paradox about this whole thing. It's like, I tell people, I say a lot of times paradox is the only truth. If you don't understand paradox, you cannot see truth because it's yes, at one level, there's a slave system that operates financially and how we're controlled by these societies and economies but there's also the deeper rooted belief structure within humans that says, I wanna be a slave because I'm terrified of being free. Tell me what to do. And until we can excavate and really uproot that fear of the freedom and so we can really get into that. And I'm not saying that I'm fully there. I mean, it's like, it's very difficult to be an actualized, activated human being but once you're like on that path which is really the spiritual path just breaking down the ideologies and the structures that were holding us back and telling us how to do things. And when you wake up with the alarm, you have to go to this, you have to have your coffee and your breakfast. You have to go to work and you have to pay this bill and it's tax day and all that nonsense. If you really get to the root of it, you realize it's all there because we're terrified of what's the opposite of it which is just infinite possibility. On that note, infinite possibility, Sean. Thank you so much for coming on the show again today. It's always a joy to talk to you. It's really, really interesting and I enjoyed this. Absolutely, thank you so much Debbie. Pleasure.

UCN2nbMPLJWv3Y__4JuF_hMQ	Sticky session aren't a bad word	Talk by Dan Hopkins Building stateless http servers has been the standard architecture for SaaS companies for the last ten years. Requirements for continuous uptime, scalability and low cost have pushed companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Typesafe and VictorOps back towards architectures where processing and data co-exist in the same memory space. In this talk we will explore what you need in order to build a stateful system and the benefits and tradeoffs of the transition. More info at: https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/14x/presentations/sticky-session-arent-bad-word	null	2016-01-23T20:48:24	2024-04-23T02:20:11	2,006	vZPcprrgn10	So we're gonna be talking about sticky sessions today and maybe it wasn't such a terrible idea. My name is Dan, I'm from Boulder, Colorado. I work at a little startup in downtown Boulder. It's located right here. We're VictorOps, we're building an on-call management incident management platform. And actually Boulder looks more like this. So it's not a bad place to live. I mean, it's actually so nice to live there right now that the real estate market is really booming. Everything is really, houses are being sold like in a weekend with three multiple offers. And so about three years ago, my wife and I went to buy a house and we found that house on the MLS and we went and looked at it and the realtor said, well, don't worry, you don't have to be able to buy this. It's gonna be gone in a weekend. And we said, okay. Three months later, my wife sent me a text message saying, hey, that place is still on the market. And so we went back and looked at it and I don't know if it's obvious from this photo, but the people who lived there had an interesting style. They had actually mounted a tree decal on the wall. And it also had this awesome like three tone paint scheme going on and it was really messy and nobody could see past that. And so something that would usually have sold in a weekend in Boulder was actually on the market for multiple months. They had this other problem that everything in the house had been dated. It was a house from the late 90s, but nothing had been updated in the last 30 years. So we had all these brass fixtures and this cloudy glass and the whatnot. And so my wife's first comment when she came in was, shouldn't we do something about these fixtures? I go through and upgrade them to brushed chrome or update them to oil rubbed bronze or something like that. And my response being an engineer was, we can do that or we can just wait for brass to become popular again and let the trend come to us and our house will already be modern and contemporary again. That apparently does not work. I tried that a year earlier when my wife said, I need to have a white gold band. And I said, well, why don't you get gold gold? And she said, oh no, no, no, it has to be white gold. And this kind of led me to talking about trends and how architecture happens and then it comes back to one other decision and then we move back to another decision. And it's always this kind of cycle. And there's always reasons for this. It's not like people are arbitrarily choosing trends. You know, there is impetus in the market for it. But if you don't understand the trade-offs and the decisions that you're making when you're talking about these fundamental architectural decisions, then you'll just always be cargo-culting what everybody else is doing. And so what I would like to talk today is about a fundamental trade-off that we make when we're building architectures and that's all about the statefulness of that architecture. So the way that I view the world of at least web application development is a very simple architecture. I write my application in PHP or Java or Rails or something like that and then I get a big instance of my SQL behind it. I buy a whole bunch of web servers. I hook them all up to a relational database and I kind of call it a day. And the underlying decision that I'm making here is that I'm separating the behavior from the data. But there's another way to do it. We could actually store the data for our applications inside of the application. And this has a lot of interesting side effects. This is actually the way that VictorOps is moving right now. We started off building in kind of the standard architectural way and now we're moving to actually store a state inside of our application. So I'd like to talk about what it means to store a state just so we can talk about where it is in the architecture. Where do we store it today? Talk a little bit about history and what people have done in the past and how we could maybe revisit some of those ideas. Talk about some motivations for why we store a state in particular places. Maybe some dangers to storing it in the application versus storing it in a relational database. And then give you guys some more information for you to look at. So when I talk about state in its simplest terms, it's this distinction between data and the behavior. So if I have code that runs, the code is typically the behavior and what the code works on is the data. Another grander way to think of state is it is an implicit coupling between time and space in your code. It's also really tricky to understand which part of the application is stateful. So if you look at your code and you think about the order of operations and that that's an important part of how it behaves, then the order of operations is part of the state. And there are a couple of ways people talk about happens before. They build synchronization primitives so they can make sure that an application moves in a particular manner. And that's all stateful behavior or that's all state that you're talking about when you're trying to build these. If you have a coupling to space, then it depends where something happens and where is kind of a nebulous term. It doesn't mean that it actually occurs in a different physical location. It could be two threads that are talking together. It could be two processes. Or you could have a application that is deployed in California trying to talk to a server that's in New York. Anything where you care about the fact that two requests hate your server and you don't know where that is or they hit different threads. That's again, you're talking about state. But state is also a lens. So this is a very simple function. I wanted to keep it one line so it doesn't have a barrier check for when it hits zero. So this is an infinite loop. But the point is it's a simple factorial function. And most of the time you might look at this and say this is a completely stateless function. There's no variables being assigned. But if you run this on a real computer, computers have stack sizes, maximum stack sizes, they have memory. And so if you maximum stack size is 100 and you try to call this function with 101, it damn well matters that that 100th iteration is happening because at the 101st iteration it's gonna throw an exception and crash. And so in this case, the state is actually being held in the stack. In this next function, a lot of people would say that this creates a side effect that writes to the disk, for instance. And so this is a stateful function. Well, if I change your perspective so that you're looking at this from a web server's perspective and somebody's coming in and making a get request and they don't care that this is writing to a disk, then this is a stateless function. And so it always depends on how you look at things on whether or not you're talking about state. And that's always important when you're considering where things should go. So when I break down the world between stateless and stateful apps, stateless apps typically store their data inside of a database and they ship that data from the database over the network to the behavior. And then they do some work on that data and then they ship it back to the database. So it's kind of a data shipping paradigm. And typical architectures look like this. So I have two requests coming in. It doesn't matter what server they hit. They go to the database, they get their data, they work on the data, goes back to the database. They're often deployed behind load balancers. And basically the majority of web applications you see on the internet, behave kind of as clud is create, read, update and delete applications. Behave in this manner. So kind of like this. If I break it, if I break down what's actually happening here when a request comes in, we know that the engineers wrote this part of the system. We know that they went to the internet and downloaded this part of the system. So maybe that part works. These people don't care when things break. They don't care that it's the bowser's fault. They don't care that it's the engineer's code and they don't care that it's the database. To them, this entire thing is stateful. All applications have state. And keeping it separated, maybe that's not the best thing in the world to do. So a stateful application stores the data right next to the behavior. And the data doesn't have to move when it's worked on and moved is going over a network in this case. So 10, 15 years ago when J2EE was still a cool thing to do, people had this concept of sticky sessions. And I should caveat that by saying that people still do sticky sessions today. But if you go on Stack Overflow and you Google should I use sticky sessions on my applications or whatever, but the popular consensus is no, you shouldn't use them. And the basic idea is every request that comes into a web server from a particular human will go to the same server. So if I have a bowser open on my Mac and I make two requests and I'm hitting a web farm, I will always go to server one. So like in this case, two different people. The guy on top is always making a call to server one. The woman on the bottom is always making a call to server three. And this makes it easier to reason about how I do caching for instance. I can create really simple in memory structures and just pull them out of memory. And I always know that that person's session is going to be local to my server. And they accomplish this in basically two different ways. So in order to spread work through a cluster you need to do some sort of lookup because when somebody hits you from a browser you need to know where that server should handle which server should handle that request. And that lookup can basically be distributed or not distributed. So generally we call this lookup a hash table because you've taken like their IP address and you run it through a hash function and then you store it with a server's IP address or server's name and every time the person hits the load balancer or hits a server you route them to the same server. And you're using some sort of identifier. It could be a cookie that they have in their browser. It could be their IP address. Although we know that that won't help with that at servers but some way of identifying a particular browser that's hitting your website. And so to oversimplify the richness here when that hash table is distributed you might use some sort of maybe a consistent hashing lookup or you can send requests any random server and those servers know how to route to other servers so you can kind of move the request through the farm until you find the correct server and that's who ends up responding. A non-distributed hash table could be a centralized load balancer that just has a hash table sitting at memory so it's not sharing it with anyone else if it were to crash it kind of loses that concept or it could be even as simple as just a persistent connection to a server. You just open up a socket and you just send all of your requests to one particular server all the time and you've kind of hidden the load balancer concept. And then the hash table is kind of on your computer's list of connections. So why would we even want to do this? I talked a little bit earlier about some ideas around how it makes it simpler for programmers to store in memory caches but there are some other big reasons why stateful applications are a really interesting concept. So a CPU typically does something about four billion times per second. And if I look at the cost of going to get information from different levels of a computer, starting off with a CPU's cache that sits on die, L1 or L2 or L3, and then looking at that compared to main memory disk and network, and if I think about each cost in terms of one second of activity, instead of nanoseconds and microseconds which are all orders of magnitude and we don't normally think in that context, going to the CPU's cache takes about one, if that takes one second, then going to main memory takes about two minutes. So that's not super long. If I go to a disk, it takes 14 hours to get that data. And if I have to go over the network, like in that data shipping paradigm that most stateless apps are built on, it takes six days to get that data. I mean, so just like another way to frame this, going to your CPU cache is like you turning your head and talking to the person sitting at your desk next to you. Going to main memory is like walking across the office to get some piece of information and then coming back to sit down. Disk is like driving from LA to Portland to get some piece of information and then coming back and then go into the network. That's like every time you wanted to answer the question, you drive to New York and drive back. I mean, think about the amount of wasted activity that could be happening while that's occurring. The CPU is just kind of sitting there farting around. And so just from a pure performance perspective, we are leaving so much on the table by keeping our data and our behavior separate from each other. There's also terms of correctness when you're programming across the network. If we keep the behavior and the data coexisting, there are actually proofs in the distributed system literature that talk about how you can change levels of linearizability and serializability and we can actually get different guarantees on our system just by keeping things off the network. You don't have partition problems when you don't have a network involved. I also believe as an engineer that ergonomics are very important. The more tools that we have, the more that you have to deal with. A stateful architecture happens all inside processes that you understand. You don't have to go out, I mean, not that people don't understand my SQL, but it's one less tool to understand to keep things in native data structures. There's also a whole different realm of resilience that we can build in. One of the first conversations you'll always have when you're building out an architecture is what do we do if the database is down? Everybody punts on that. They never think about how their code should handle the fact that where their state lives might be unavailable once in a while. And so when that does happen, most applications just absolutely crap the bed. And so you can build in different kinds of resilience. If we keep this state in the data together, you can actually change the way that you think about things and respond. Failure is a lot easier to handle. Whole classes of errors actually go off the table. There's no network related problems. You still have to be conscious of concurrency issues, but at least those are all local to one process or one thread or something of that effect. So there are a bunch of choices on how you might do this. We talked about sticky sessions and that was something that was codified in a bunch of different programming languages. J2EE is a really nice implementation of that. But there are a bunch of different decisions that we have to make. One of them is we need to choose particular one times. There are managed environments where building stateful architectures is not super wonderful. MRI, the default Ruby runtime is one of those. And you'll kind of notice that when people deploy against MRI or the PHP runtime, what they typically do is spin up a bunch of processes behind a web server and then kill them periodically and allow additional ones to serve new requests. So kind of a CGI exact model, but with actually keeping hot processes. And it's very difficult to have a stateful architecture if you're constantly killing the memory space where you're storing the state. You also typically need some sort of threading model when you're inside of your runtime. Again, so that the stateful architectures usually have a lot more background processing going on so they can keep everything polished and working. So you need some background threads to work on. You also typically need some kind of control of your memory that could be on heap, it could be off heap memory that you're just memory mapping. You just need some way to actually control how much data you're storing. From a framework perspective, you also need to make choices and these are kind of the application frameworks that we build applications in. So you need some way to support making remote calls. Unless you're lucky enough to just deploy on a single server, you're probably going to have a cluster of nodes associated to handle the amount of load that you need to handle. And so having those nodes talking to each other is pretty important. You also need to make sure that your frameworks handle concurrency, ideally as a first class citizen and not just something that was bolted on after the fact with some really low level mutexes or seven fours that you're forced to deal with a lot of the concurrency. Then you need some concept of clustering. And clustering is an interesting topic in and of itself. You need some idea of membership inside of your nodes that all understand who the other ones are. This can either be dynamic or static. A static cluster is something where, like on my SQL rollout using Galera, where you actually specify all the IP addresses of that cluster in a config file. And in order to add additional capacity, you actually go back and reconfigure the cluster. That's perfectly fine, people do that. There's also a concept of dynamic clustering which allows your cluster to be more elastic. You can add capacity and it will discover the rest of the cluster and then join it on the fly. Both of those are pretty reasonable ways to do that. A couple of examples of frameworks out there that have reasonable run times underneath them. ACCA is built on top of the JVM. It's an actor based framework. And this is one thing that allow all of those examples I talked about before, ACCA allows you to do. Erlang is a programming language, but they have an application framework called OTP that's designed for helping you to build real-time systems. And that's something that's also really good for using stateful architectures. And then the database React has an underlying library called core that's a distributed systems framework to form the basis of how React distributes data and scales. Or more generally, it's just thought of as a toolkit for building distributed scalable fault-tolerant applications. And those all kind of allow you to build stateful architectures. React core, I mean that was straight off for their GitHub page. You know, a big part of this talk is about trade-offs that we make when we make these decisions. And so there are of course downsides to building stateful architectures. And it's important to know about these pitfalls before you get to them, so that you don't discover them at 2 a.m. when the problems have come up. Probably the biggest thing that I have seen, the biggest problem rolling out of stateful architecture at VictorOps is serialization. You know, when you have a database, you always feel confident that you can restart that database and you always get your data back because they've spent a huge amount of time making sure that the format that they write things to disk can always be read in. And so if you're storing your state inside of your application and you hope to be able to restart that application at some point, you need to think about the way that you're serializing this state. And there are kind of two different levels of serialization. There's writing things to disk and then changing the underlying model and being able to read those things into disk. And we kind of call that backwards compatibility. The other problem that happens, especially in a cluster, is that you will roll out new parts of your model and then try to send messages to systems that are running the old code and they need to be able to handle that fact. And that's kind of what we call future compatibility. You know, I'm receiving messages from the future effectively and I need to be able to deserialize that. In both kinds of serialization are extremely important when you're building a stateful architecture. You also need to watch out for thundering herds, especially when your application is starting up or in the case of a dynamic model, of a dynamic clustering model when it's failing over from node to node. This is one of those cases where engineers are terrible at finding it while they're working on their local machines. They very often have small workloads. They test things locally and then roll it out to production and it craps the bed. This kind of makes sense too. This might be a bit of an obvious thing, but you're serializing all of your data to disk and then you're restarting and kind of trying to fully hydrate a working database. And so of course there's going to be a lot of load on the system when that happens. I've actually heard reports from people running stateful architectures in the real world where their systems take hours to restart the clusters. And so you do have to work around that. You also need to be very careful about the way that you use memory. Again, this is something that we take for granted in the way that relational databases or no SQL databases handle structures that they can, you know, when they need to page data to disk and only keep in memory what they need to be working on. But it's very, very tempting given those performance numbers that I gave earlier for engineers when they're building a stateful application to just keep unbounded in memory data structures. And then again, it works great on their laptop, but in production, it'll grow to such an extent that it starts paging for instance and that completely changes the performance profile of their application. And this is something we take for granted in stateless architectures. There's a lot, the good thing is there's a ton of inspiration out there for how you might do this. Basically any distributed database is a stateful architecture. And so if you need code examples or you need just design examples or white papers or case studies, you can read things like from the React team, the Cassandra team that even read, you know, the Dynamo paper and get general ideas for how DHTs work in production. There's also some framework examples. Aka has a distributed data module where they help you build CRDTs into your database or into your application. A CRDT is just a concurrent replicated data type. So it allows us to build eventual data structures with really sane merge semantics so that I could have a counter that increments on any node. And I know that eventually it will come to consensus without having to lock across an entire data and entire cluster. The Orleans project is actually one of Microsoft's researches. They very specifically set out to build a stateful web development framework. And they ended up deploying it. I think Halo was written. The Halo backend is written on top of this. Unison is a Haskell-based framework for building stateful architectures. He actually took this to kind of a next level. And in addition to it being a framework, it also comes with an IDE for building your applications and a language. So it's a language, a framework and an IDE for building distributed systems. And on top of that, you can build really nice stateful architectures. So we talked a little bit about what it means to have state and what does it look like? Cause it's kind of a tricky subject. We talked about how we store things today in that two tier or multi tier web architecture where things are stored in relational databases and then shipped over to the processes that use them. We talked a little bit about sticky sessions and why people didn't like them. Some motivation behind why you might want to build a stateful architecture. Some caveats to making that decision. And then there was some more information about that. So that's all I got. But if there are any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Yes? And then when you read a request, you can relate that cookie to the cat. Nets and most frameworks like Radles and Django and Python, they promote these patterns. So obviously when this is done in production, these are servers stored outside of the app server. So that means you mention it's a wasteful to go over the network and read the stuff. So what's like a pragmatic alternative to this if someone has an application like this which a lot of people do, you kind of improve the performance of being able to read and write to sort of a state store. You went over some mechanisms, but it's like, but they're all kind of, it would require a big overall of pre-existing architectures and that would pretty much require a lot of buy-in from many different people just to make it happen. So is there any alternative or any incremental improvement upon like the common pattern of just say, let's just store everything in like a reddest cache. So I know it's not even a question. Yeah, I think I can just store it down. That the question is, if I'm transitioning from a stateless architecture to a stable architecture, what are kind of the interim steps that might go on? And I think the answer is you have to start off piecemeal. You know, Redis using a Redis as an interim cache and kind of shipping things around that way is still the same pattern. You're still keeping the state outside of the same memory space, but it's certainly faster. And so I think you cleave off certain parts of your system and maybe you start building things as microservices where the new services can be stateful and the old way can be stateless. And this might only make sense for certain parts of your architecture. In the case of VictorOps, for instance, we have some backing servers that are stateful, but part of our application is stateless. And so it depends on, you know, if some of those benefits work for your company, then those are maybe the parts of your system that could become stateful. It doesn't have to be holistic. Yeah. Yeah. In the other two, I mean some of you will come back while we're on the same cluster. Is there any kind of effort to rebalance that when their session ends? Or you don't see them while you go, make that, take it off that machine store away and then bring it back later for future requests or anything like that? So the question, a couple of points. The question is, how do you rebalance live workloads? How do you rebalance workloads that are no longer important? So kind of like a dead work, right? Yeah, basically those two questions. Those two questions. So rebalancing live workloads is a pretty interesting problem. You actually have to keep in your cluster the performance metrics of the other nodes and then you can move things around preemptively. For dead workloads, when we talk about keeping the state in memory, that doesn't mean that there's not some way to store that state or store the way to get back to that state somewhere else. So at VictorOps, for instance, we use the event sourcing model. So we basically write a log of every state change to Cassandra while it's going on, but that's just a very fast right activity. All state changes themselves happen inside of the application. So when work needs to, effectively, when it's done and it needs to kind of go into a dormant state, we can just kill that shard, for instance, and it can always be rehydrated from the log later. Does that make sense? It's actually just keeping everything in our case. It's more of like a transaction log with snapshotting. So if you were to think about it in terms of a counter, for instance, we store a log of plus one, plus one, plus one, plus one, plus one, and then periodically you might say, okay, the current count is 100 and that's a snapshot. It's the way that databases, if you look at like right ahead logs, it's how that's implemented and the designs behind that. Anything else? Cool. Well, thanks guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZPcprrgn10", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

They have a tendency because of lack of estrogen to get dry But estrogen is not in control of libido testosterone is and people don't realize that women have testosterone also Just in different amounts Less than that one form of ester in the estrogen that actually causes problems Such as breast cancers and stuff of that nature for women now now speaking of testosterone fat, too Yeah, speaking of testosterone and then when you get the fat you make more Because the estrogen is made from the fat Yeah, then there's there's something that fascinates me called brown fat, which is actually good for you Good for it's like an organ is it actually has a function in the body helps burn regular Yeah, brown fat. I have to look into that. But speaking of dihydrotestosterone, which is supposedly supposedly a bad testosterone contributing to male pattern baldness and benign Prostatic hyperplasia, right be HP The HD yeah, yeah enlargement of the prostate is caused by dihydrotestosterone large amount of it increase Heidi Stevenson told me that there there are heart receptors Specifically for dihydrotestosterone So what she was saying is there there has to be a need for dihydrotestosterone in the human body No culprit. It can't be a total culprit. Otherwise, why would there be receptors on your heart for DHT? So a good point Heidi Stevenson Salute to Homie a path from I hope you understood what she said about The things that you know a lot of people understand they are used for certain things Those are the emergency things like Arnica and Calendula, yes, you use those for these things you keep them Otherwise when you're diagnosing for a person, it's totally individual you keep it in reserve those other things No, they are for emergencies first aid Akinite Arnica Calendula these things are you know, she said certain things so much shock you would use Akinite Well, she said it wouldn't hurt if somebody has brittle nails and hair that's to use so let's so to see it Which is silica it wouldn't hurt or the what is it the Dr. Schuster's cell salts? Also, it's a mineral supplement No, it doesn't hurt prescribing homeopathics like you do allopathics, you know what I mean, that's the same way certain symptoms That's not how it goes Salute in an emergency so saluting Heidi Stevenson homeopathic nutritional Practitioner expert from the country of Scotland. Oh That was good. Yes, Scotland. That was on the Gary. No show as seen on the Gary. No show and Has been quoted by Gary now and also my right-hand administrator For the Facebook group holistic health talk Okay, Heidi Stevenson. I salute you with the lucky Blackthorn Shalely from Ireland and Let's see And also my administrator from the International Brotherhood of polyvance all my administrators Ken Thieson Saranda Huda Chris Falcone and the rest of them all of them now let us sink our teeth Into these readings, but that's it chisels all of shame The last chisels all of shame until I get more would be the the girls the females exploiting men Pretending to be interested in them misrepresenting themselves and Which is bearing false witness against my neighbor, I believe Just to extract free favors and Dinner and drinks shame on you along with T-Mobile Chisels all of shame and PSC and G of New Jersey, so experts on information technology security Advise frequent password changes But why would the new password? Be any more secure than the old one so many factors are involved. Let's make two assumptions first You're an ordinary citizen And no experts are targeting you Second you're already exercising caution You have a completely different password for each website that is important to protect such as bank and credit cards shopping sites With payment data email accounts, etc All of your passwords are strong Frequent changing of those passwords provides little benefit because a hacker Who manages to break into one account? Usually won't be able to break into the others anyway The change would only limit the number of days he or she has access to that one account So even a weekly change Which would be big effort for you? Wouldn't help much Hackers can get everything they want from an account in minutes But if you use the same garden variety password everywhere changing often Unless you do something obvious like adding a character to the end of the old password Will help But not because it will be harder to break Rather a hacker Will be slowed Accessing your other accounts Unless you make the switch to all your passwords at once Which will have the opposite effect? Regardless it never hurts to change your password. You never know true. Maybe someone an X intimate perhaps. Yes that knows how to hack Has quietly obtained it and is simply monitoring an account reading your email or whatever Quietly attained it or sneakily attained it. Maybe if that gives you the willies You can't change too often if your name is William. You must get the willies alive, huh? If your name is willies you get the willies often and you have a little willie. I Hope not You know I don't want to shed anymore my jiggle balls Jingle balls I Here's an interesting a little slightly interesting thing I found At first I was pretty upset to learn that the federal government was monitoring records of all our phone calls Yes But what do I know? I'm just an ordinary citizen Our senators and representatives approved this and then when it gets leaked to the public and the public it gets upset They backpedal Quicker than you can say CIA NSA FBI But then it occurred to me that there may be a sliver a silver lining in all of this The government can take all these phone records and Track down and then prosecute all those robo callers and phone scammers who call us a half a dozen times a day Now that's something I could really rally around. Oh, yeah That would be nice with it because they do not call thingy is a bunch of bullshit doesn't work And now they're allowed to call cell phones and you have to pay for it. Yeah, how about that? Well, if you don't I could recognize a soliciting phone number and If I don't recognize a number I usually have a day high dead now I usually let oh as in blocked call they hide the number sneaky of them, isn't it? Yeah, lock call and you and if you have a cell phone and you don't have unlimited free minutes You have to pay for it Like like poll people that have what is it called a sure assurance assurance wireless something like that assured wireless assurance And that other one There's two of them right now and you've got to pay for it You don't get that many minutes and you've got to pay even if you listen to your voicemail They charge you that's another thing the company that And They want to make sure that you make a call At least every six days 60 days Or they'll take away to phone In other words, you can't just have it as an urgent as a tchotchki or a knick-knack sitting on your shelf You got to use it or you lose it all yeah Absolutely, well that's not a problem Well, it's not a problem, but it was sold. Yeah as an emergency thing. It was not meant To bullshit and hang on there 24-7 like everywhere you go You know everywhere you go all you see is People mostly young people they don't care about anything around them. They don't care who's around them They're the environment man the world. There's nothing to them, but their little Monitor screen on their smartphone that's important to them And they're always texting texting texting and I am really happy when the cops pull them over and give them a whopping fine For texting while they're driving Because the fact that they text all the time anyway is very antisocial They did a study, you know, they found out that even having the radio on in the car affects you Yeah, you day-dream texting you and hands-free phone and all your day your day dream You know, you might think of stuff song might remind you of something You should really pay attention to driving You know Concentration Yeah, you're doing one thing and then do it Because hey, that's the your ability if the accident's your fault. You're the one that gets hit with the surcharge Is there anyone in the United States who remembers our country as it was at the World War two? No, I'm not that old. We were the strongest most democratic envied and feared nation in the world You're talking about most likely Truman Eisenhower Administrations and there were there were good days. I mean, they were good times Eisenhower was the last of the so-called nice guy Republicans Nixon wasn't that bad, but hey Eisenhower was he was a good egg Nixon had some Decent policy some some but he was a crook. Yeah, I am not a crook Yeah, well, no, no, yeah Eisenhower Dwight the Eisenhower was the last of the nice guy Republicans What happened to us? How did we become the most hated nation in the universe? This is good article. Does anybody remember the KGB? Communism or big brother It was President Ronald Reagan. It was responsible for bringing communism to its knees and Russia began to change I disagree with that. I disagree with that and also He's the one responsible for shifting the tax burden from the rich to the middle class and the poor in the 1980s now our nation is in danger of becoming tangled in In the situation as dangerous as that which existed in Russia and other European nations Our lives are no longer our own our phones Computers bank accounts emails personal files financial reports are all under surveillance legally and eagerly ill legally Depending on the interpretation of the judge involved Our skull school children don't seem to understand what our country represents Our children do not fully respect their teachers nor do their parents try to instill pride in their country Our national security is at risk every day of our lives Something has to be done and it must happen soon Political bickering is destroying our nation Wake up America For it's too late. Don't let our enemies Well the proof is in the pudding and the pudding to me is the fact that the Republican Congress has been obstructionist with every every positive program and bill that is presented by President Barack Obama, they they have sabotage everything good And that's proof enough to clean house to clean out the barn Clean out the barn, baby in 2000 system needs to undergo a massive change a massive bowel movement 2014 and 2000 Yeah, 2014 we need to get the Republicans out of the House and Senate very badly Or else it's really going to be Chaos and doom and gloom Well, nothing will get done anyway for that matter Unless it's written by Alec and the other corporations Well, the problem is people have to think Outside the two-party system because that's how we got we have to get the money out of politics money and no more parties As long as you have ways to bring the people who are running before the public as long as you have free Campaign contributions from the fat cats. You will have corruption in politics. Bingo. It's very simple Very simple. That's why nothing has ever been done Too simple So look to the progressive independence and money should not be a factor in who gets elected and holds office money should not be the fact that ability The brains was between their ears and ability should be the factor merit Not mula merit the Supreme Court on Thursday Unanimously throughout attempts to patent human gene siding with advocates who say that The multi-billion dollar biotechnology industry Should not have exclusive control over genetic information found inside the body This reminds me of dr. Salk When they said you should patent your polio vaccine And he said You cannot patent the sun So what you're trying to mon cento and the others have tried to haven't they so what you're trying to say is the demons of capitalism want to make a Profit in a greedy way off of everything including mother nature and what god creates water Water It's theirs not ours. Oh, yeah the uh this air It's theirs Not the CEO the CEO of nesli Said that people do not have a right to drinking water because nesli's is trying to buy up all the uh The springs For drinking water, you know in the world. They want to control it Well, so does the t-boom pickings So if you can control the drinking water and the food supply You have total control over humanity perhaps. Yes Yeah, see senor You have total control over humanity But the high court also approved for the first time The patenting of synthetic DNA Handing a victory to researchers and companies looking to come up with ways to fight for and profit from Medical breakthroughs that could reverse life threatening diseases such as breast or ovarian cancer The decision sets a fair and level playing field for open and responsible use of genetic information At the same time it does not preclude the opportunity for innovation in the genetic world And should be seen as an important clarifying moment for research and the health care industry The high court's judgment written by Justice Clarence thomas conservative And lazy of all the judges He says nothing He does nothing, but he gets paid, but he gets paid And he does not recuse himself When his wife Who is a big corporate there? Whatever? Oh really? Has an interest in Things that come before him So he's pussy whipped Probably so so he's he's even lazier than the republican congress He's lazier than antonin Scalia Well antonin Scalia's got all that blubber around him. Maybe that's what slows him down. Yeah, I think so Or or unless it's something that he's passionate about which is usually the wrong thing. Yes, it is then he has energy The high court's judgment written by clarence thomas reverses three decades of patent awards by government officials It also throws out patents held by salt lake city based myriad genetics incorporated involving a breast cancer test Brought into the public eye recently by actress angelina is jolly. Oh brother Her revelation That she had a double mastectomy After discovering she carried a defective Baraka one g that puts her at high risk But developing breast and ovarian cancer If the referee didn't see it no, no, that's wrong analogy She didn't have it. She didn't have anything wrong with her breasts when she had the double mastectomy correct You know if it's not there Yet it's still not there Right thomas said myriad's assertion That the dna it isolated from the body For its proprietary breast And ovarian cancer tests were patentable It had to be dismissed because it violates patent rules The court has said That laws of nature Uh-huh natural phenomenon phenomenon and abstract ideas are not patentable Therefore you cannot patent the sun of course for the water or the air Yeah, things that god owns that uh are are inherent rights, but if you're a ceo like like the one over at nestle's You make up your own rules everything belongs to him and don't forget nestle's pays for the cacao beans Purchased and and and produced by Companies that indulge in child labor and slavery and do not forget it How come uh reverend bill how come the mad insane crazed gunman's Always open fire on innocent people, but they never target ceo's the bad evil bad guy demonic greedy ceo's of these big Corporations and nobody they they never specifically target the true bad guys Well, if you believe it's the devil's world as the bible says, yeah Then obviously the devil is not going around Uh killing bad people He wants innocent people to be killed good people. Yeah, well if you're if you're of the flesh Like I was talking before about The dating scene with the the women, you know the restaurant whores and and the uh The green card whores and and whatever These are obviously people that are not Spiritual they are not Living in the spiritual realm. They are living material there. Yeah, they're materialists. They're living in the flesh They're living in the world Satan's world or the same thing goes for all these ceo's all these capitalists and republicans You know like we were joking before about the stovepipe. They're they're not talking to the god of the bible No, no go No way so we we hold That a naturally occurring dna segment is a product of nature Not a patent eligible merely because it has been isolated thomas said However, the court gave myriad a partial victory Ruling that while naturally occurring dna was not patentable Synthetically created dna known as c dna can be patented Because it is not naturally occurring The company used its patents to come up with the braca analysis test Which looks for mutations on the breast cancer predisposition gene Myriad sells the only braca gene test Which costs around three thousand the dollar now to you numbs goes out there The braca gene has nothing to do with broccoli, which I happen to love that I'm dumb so furofane Very anti carcinogenic correct indole three carbonyls. So furofane. Yes, I believe Alzheimer's also in the cruciferous vegetable family. Oh, by the way, uh I believe it was Heidi Stevenson that told me uh, um People with autoimmune afflictions can go as high as 10,000 international units of vitamin d3 So 5,000 is now the new norm recommended dose But you can go as high as 10,000, but I would take 10,000 of the vitamin a palmitate. I would I would definitely take a with d Very important for the immune system to have both Anyway, finish up opponents said the company has used its patent To keep other researchers from working with the braca gene to develop other tests The challenged patients, I mean excuse me to challenge patents would have expired in 2015. Yeah Today the court struck down a major barrier to patient care And medical innovation said sander park a lawyer for the american civil liberties union women's rights project Because of this ruling patients will have greater access To genetic testing and scientists can engage in research on these genes without fear of being sued american medical association president dr. Jeremy a lazarus Lazarus Hold on i'm for lazarus That's what jesus said when he went to raise lazarus from the dead Like a didgeridoo He was dead for maybe like three days or whatever the hell it was And the the ladies around said oh by now he stinketh He stinketh With when jesus was to go raise him You're gonna like the way you look what was that company uh, uh, uh, wait a minute. That's where house joseph a bank No men's warehouse men's warehouse. Hey, i'm the ceo men's warehouse. You gotta like the way you look I guarantee it Let me finish here. Go ahead finish up. You know, I'm glad I made that stove pipe Removing the patents on the building blocks of life ensures that scientific discovery And medical care based on insights into human dna will remain freely accessible and widely dissenting Okay, you're finished. Yeah, now it's time for our break Uh, well actually not my well. Yeah my break too because I get to visit the little boys room It is time with It is time but oh by the way my my friend surely chen from shanghai china says they uh the chinese use Human urine dilute with water for fertilizer to fertilize the vegetables plants Now if if they use animal manure as fertilizer I guess it's kind of almost the same Whatever I would say that in the cocoa The poop is probably a lot more vitamins and minerals And stuff because of all the supplements humans might be taking might or and the better quality and and well Supposedly the better quality food they eat over over the livestock. Supposedly anyway, it's time for uh Reverend dr. William j eisman Uh, excuse me gastronomic delight known as lunch and then we'll we'll be back With will you make moral the third?	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzOBshZLfnc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you for tuning in to the Straight Talk Vermont show. I have an incredible guest with me and we will talk about it in a minute, but first I want to announce what we're doing. So, Straight Talk Vermont and all our other programs, we have a new art gallery or in the University Mall. It's a re-grant, we just did a re-grant opening on May 20th. And it's incredible. It's called Art So Wonderful Gallery and Performing Center. And it's 8,000 square feet. We have a performing stage. We have like hip-hop, rock shows, open mic, poetry slabs. Vermont Youth Symphony Orchestra is going to perform there. And I'm so excited and we have like 400 pieces of art in there. And when I sit there, oh God, I'm so excited to look at all this art. I'm not an artist, but I'm an old musician. But I just have the passion for both so I open the place up. But I'll tell you, you got to come there. And the University Mall right next to Target is across from IHOP. So, that's what we have going on. Oh, no, we have a Fight for Kids Foundation. I'm on the Board of Directors. We built a youth center in Winnowsky. It's the only youth center there. And I'm so proud. King James is our executive director. We have incredible board members. And we're doing our first Fridays every month. July 7th in Rotary Park. And when we see all these providers and vendors that are going to be there, live entertainment. And it's helped raise funds for the Fight for Kids Foundation. So, if you've got time, step out there. So, now, everyone, I'm so excited. Every time I see Senator Roms Hinsdale, I always get excited. I don't care where I'm at. Where we are, we're always way to each other, acknowledge each other. And we go way back, like, 15 years. So, right now, I want to introduce you to Senator Roms Hinsdale. So, take it away. Thanks so much, Bruce. I'm Senator Keisha Roms Hinsdale. And before I say anything else about me, I'm just remembering, since it is July 5th, it was three years ago, on the 4th of July, that it was just after the murder of George Floyd. And we had the kids from Art So Wonderful do chalk art at AO Glass in the south end of Burlington. And they made beautiful images of hands of all different colors and complexions holding each other. They wrote Black Lives Matter. They did an amazing job. And so, I just want to thank you for giving young people that opportunity. Yeah. So, a little bit about me. Senator Keisha Roms Hinsdale. I'll start with the titles. And the most important one for me right now is Mom. I'm a new mother. And I'm here with my baby Mira. She's two and a half months old now. And she was supposed to arrive the last day of the legislative session. But of course, my first lesson as a parent was that babies make the rules. So she decided to come early and I reported and passed a lot of my legislation from the hospital this year. And in addition to that, I passed legislation as the chair of the Senate Economic Development Housing and General Affairs Committee in the state Senate. I've served for 11 years now in the legislature since I was 22. So if you're young and thinking about running for office, I'm always free to talk. No doubt about it. No doubt about it. So, and I'm just going to talk to the boom right now. So, Senator, wow. So, Mira is here. Right. Well, let's get a shot of Mira, bro. Travis, our cameraman and incredible guy from CCTV. Nice, right? So, I just want to say thank you to CCTV and our camera person, production person, Travis. We are in the lovely Battery Park where we always be. We have our cable show. This is our second time with Senator Keith Ram. And here we did this before right here in the same park. I don't know how many years ago that was maybe. It's before the pandemic. Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely. But so, wow. Well, I keep saying wow because you have an incredible history of all the wonderful things. You met some incredible people, you know, like Obama and, you know, I always say that. You know, and like, let's start from when you graduated from probably why you was in the UVM when you went to the legislature, I think. I started my campaign for the State House of Representatives representing Burlington when I was a senior at the University of Vermont. I was student body president and really a lot of, a lot of my mentors, people like Governor Madeline Cunin and Rachel Weston, who is a young legislator self, the only legislator in her 20s at the time. You know, they basically said to me, your student body president, the district is very young. So you represent over half of the people who live in the district. They just don't tend to vote because they're young and they're not registered. So I registered a couple thousand young people to vote, memorize the Freeman's Oath when you had to administer that. You know, when people were registering to vote now, you don't have to do that anymore. And I won by the largest margin of any challenger to incumbents in the state that year. That was 2008. It was another time when we needed hope and to feel like young people, you know, millennials at the time were the young people graduating college wanting to live on the cusp of change. Gen Z, stepping up, rising up, you know, that this is an important time to think about what your future looks like and take control, you know, get the torch, the torch passed to you respectfully, you know, but make sure that you're there to receive it with respect and with courage. No doubt. And like, wow, you was like a senior to 2008 at UVM. Isn't that something? And legislator, yes, exactly what we need and still need today because you voiced a lot of opinions and ideas and usually youth ideas and suggestions on how we can get better in the state of Vermont. And you've, I keep saying it because I can't think of, you do so much that my brain is like growing in circles right now. But was you registered 2000 students, man, to be registered to vote, you know, how important was that? You know, that was so important. Yeah, I mean, Bruce, you and I share a real passion for the voices of young people. You know, they, I always say they're not the future. They're the present. They're not going to inherit this country and this planet. We're borrowing it from them. So we have to be thinking, not like we're entitled to the present, but that we are here to take care of it for future generations and make sure that, you know, I often say to them, too, you don't give me hope because that means I'm sort of giving up and handing it over to you. You give me courage and you give me the courage to speak up and make space so that you have an easier time when you're leading. So, you know, as you can imagine, it's still really important to me to talk to young people, engage with young people, but importantly, too, they have their own agenda and their own needs in Vermont. And, you know, I read recently that young people, especially children, you know, when you look at the difference in how much money government gives to children versus seniors, in European countries it might be three times more money, three times more wealth and more benefit goes to seniors. In the United States it's about 30 times more. So, you know, it's important that we share resources with everyone, but it's really, really important that we recognize that children and young people are really underrepresented and they need housing, they need affordable higher education, they need safety, they need their rights secured, and they're highly underrepresented in government. Thank you for saying that. Well, one thing that I admire you so much, I've seen your growth for many years and you just keep getting smarter and smarter and more wisdom, you got your wisdom getting larger because all the incredible people you know and met in your mentors. But, you know, like everything works in divine order not before, you know what I'm saying, we already know that. And so, because of you, you know, like the inspiration you always empower you, if you always say, you know, when you started, you know, even today you said it, please look at me, you can do this too. And I'll help you, you know what I'm saying? How important is that for young people to hear high school and college age students and even graduates, you know, students, who have all this aspiration and ambitions to help want to change something in the world or Vermont or their community, right? For it's Chittenden, right? Chittenden County used to be the whole county and we cut the representation in half so that there's three senators in each chunk of the county, just because six, it was daunting for a lot of people to run, right, if you're a young person, that might be hard for you. And your district is, I mean, what's your neighborhood, what's that, you are, what district is that? So I'm Chittenden Southeast, we just made these districts in the last biennium of the legislature, the last from 2020 to 2022, so this was the first election that people elected separate senators in different parts of the county. My district is Burlington South End, South Burlington, and then most of what I would call the little towns in Chittenden County, the little compared to the rest of the state might not be so little, but, you know, Shelburne, Charla, Hinesburg, Richmond, Jericho, Underhill, so we kind of horseshoe around all the little towns in the county. I think it's really nice because then there's not just one community's voice that's heard, we go to all the little communities and connect with people. That's so important because since you said that, one or another thing I admire about you is that, you know, it's like our friend Senator Bernie Sanders, you know what I mean, we both work and I work for him for many years as a congressman, you know, when I see him here. And so we still, I still work with him mentally and whatever he's trying to do, I'll help him based on what I can do. But you, like him, he like you, will go, if you say such a such a person said something to you, Sally said this to me in our district and that we need to do this that another, you know, when you say that publicly, you mean it. You know what I'm saying? Because you really talk to Sally, you know what I'm saying? You ain't no joke. You know, okay, you be there, you travel around your community, you find out what the needs are, needs and assessments are, you come back and you work on them and that's how important is that. Guys, listen to the people who you serve, right? You serve them, they don't serve you, you know what I'm saying? So you gotta listen to them. Well, I think Bernie and President Obama, for example, they really modeled what it looks like to be effective because you have the people behind you. And so, you know, one way you can lead is by sheer force or by doing things in secrecy or whatever the case may be, but the best way to lead, the way that no one can argue with you is if you're co-governing with the people and you're hearing directly from them and you're saying, you know, I'm out there talking to majority people and this is what I'm hearing. That happened with housing this year. I chair the committee that deals with housing and everywhere you go, people would say, I'm, you know, I can't even find a place to rent. I'm living in a motel, you know, I'm struggling to find a place that I can buy. We have a family and we're outgrowing our space and, you know, we started this housing bill and we were working on it for six weeks, you know, non-stop and people kept saying, well, you still have to deal with other issues and then a poll came out and an opinion poll said, what's the number one issue in the state? And 39% of Vermont who said housing. The second top thing was like 12% or something. Everyone was saying housing. So, you know, it's like we knew that by intuition and by listening to people and then, you know, you get backed up by information down the road but you can't wait and put your finger to the wind to lead. You have to start the work and then, you know, lead where others can follow. And so, also, since you said you're talking about housing, I'm on Chinden County Planning Commission and I sit on the Board of Directors for Social Economics and Housing. And, of course, as housing, as you said, so much, wow, do we even have a place to build more housing? So, you voted on, did you, maybe you did vote on it. You wrote the bill. Yeah, you wrote that bill. The home bill. Right. So, did you guys vote to keep the hotels? Yes, yes. So, a lot has happened and I plan to do more communicating with the public and taking feedback to discuss these issues. You know, what can be frustrating and bear with me here is my committee deals with housing in terms of building the housing for people to live in. When someone doesn't have a home, that's the Human Services Committee. And I think for much of the session, we were both asking the administration what's going on, what do you need. And, you know, certainly my committee was hearing we need more housing to be built. That's what we did. We focused on every type of housing, senior housing. I mean, you have people in the motels who are on oxygen, who can't get out of bed. They need to be somewhere else and we need to make sure that they have that place to be a skilled nursing facility or assisted living. You know, we need more recovery housing where people are safe as they try to, you know, deal with substance use disorder. So, you know, we had all kinds of things we were hearing and we were trying to build that as fast as we could. What we weren't hearing is that there was no data and no plan for where these folks would go when they were exited. You know, some people say, oh, but other people were telling you, well, we try to trust the administration and all of a sudden it felt like the administration realized they didn't have a plan. You know, they didn't have shelters for people to go to. They didn't, they hadn't built the capacity up for emergency housing. And so we passed an emergency amendment during the veto session so that we could ensure, you know, people were able to stay who need the housing the most in the motels, keep the program alive until next April. Now, what I want to say is, you know, we're... That was for 700 people. That was for 700 people. No, this is for about 2,200 people. The number of people that were exited at 700, they were exited, you know, before we were able to get back into session. And, you know, we might not know a whole lot about them, but, you know, we tried to make sure that if you have kids, you can stay. If you have a disability, you can stay. If you're a senior, you can stay. Any vulnerable population. We have tried to make other options available for people who, frankly, you know, we're living in the motels for a long time and are still able-bodied. It might be a single person. There's a couple reasons I want to highlight this. I don't want to shy away from it. I know it's hard for people to swallow. We don't want anyone to be on the streets. But number one, it's about $150 a night to keep them in those motels. Those motels don't belong to us, you know. So if they're getting, you know, used up and there's a lot of wear and tear, you know, costing a lot for us to keep people in motels. We don't have infinite amounts of money. So we need to use that money to build permanent housing for people. So we couldn't keep paying, you know, millions and millions of dollars. The second thing I want to say is if someone's in a motel room, they're a finite resource and someone else can't get in a motel room. So if the motel is full in Chittenden County, then somebody else is sleeping in their car with their kids. And so, you know, we have to, that was happening a lot during the pandemic. We need to be able to keep some of those motel rooms available and open for people who are in a really bad situation. So that's using for tourism. So that's the other, that's the third thing, really. And you know, one thing I said on VPR recently was that one of the groups nobody was talking to was the motel owners, right? A lot of them are Indian community members. I see them at holiday events. And they have been housing providers, right? They have been knowing who can't get out of bed, who needs oxygen, who, you know, where they should consolidate people who have similar care needs. And so they've been trying to communicate to the state as well. Some of them have wanted to do a rent-to-own agreement. You know, we're not going to be able to turn this back into a tourism spot. So why don't, if you keep paying all this money, why don't you just buy it at some point? Many of them are ready to sell those buildings, and we've put aside millions and millions of dollars to buy those motels. The other thing is, you know, if they don't want to sell the motel and they want to do tourism again, they really can't do both at the same time. You know, you can't have people detoxing or, you know, people who need a high level of care right next to the family that's, you know, here to visit for the fall leaves. It's just not the same use, and it's really tough on their management to make that all work. So some of the motel owners have talked about consolidating people who need care into certain motels and then transferring those to the state. They have creative ideas, and we need to start listening by April. Okay. Is that 2024? Yes, April of 2024 is when, and even then, it's, there's off-ramps because these people all have to have somewhere to go. Everyone can be exited as long as we have a affordable option with their name on it because you do have a lot of people in the motels who are saying, I literally can pay rent. I just can't find a place to live in Vermont. That's what we're dealing with, and it's not going to happen without us transferring those resources to permanent housing and getting those regulations out of the way so we can build housing where we think we need it, which the Regional Planning Commission has been designating for us, you know, in core downtowns, in walkable communities. Yeah, well, it's tough because I'm, I thank you for working hard and you're in the building, working hard to keep individuals in safe places off the streets, I mean, where they can be with them for themselves and their family, you know. It's so important to the system. That's part of our systemic need. I mean, it's not like one of our systemic needs is not to be a billionaire, you know what I'm saying? But for, you need food, you need transportation, you need water, you need somewhere, you know, the safe place, right? That's systemically what we all need. I always say, you know, people care about the crisis in our democracy. They care about the crisis in our, can't really address those crises if they're having a crisis in their family or their personal life. You can only deal with one crisis at a time and the personal really consumes you. Yeah, no doubt. So let us say in April of 2024, that's how that's your amended, that term, right? And so for some dumb reason it fails, everything fails. So why are people going to go? What are they going to do? What are we going to do? It's going to be an influx of individuals in the woods, on the streets, you know, doing the best they can to survive, you know, in probably an unhealthy environment in, you know, where there's meeting their systemic needs and where are they going to go? What are they going to do? I mean, I don't think you can build no place from now to, like, you need a skyscraper travel, you know, to build a place where people can live, you know what I'm saying, for your timeline or something. You're right. Or I'll just add to what you're saying. Those motels, we want to buy them, but we also want to make sure that they're livable for people. A lot of them don't have kitchens. A lot of them, you know, people are living in a motel. That's not a great option for them either because they might have a whole family. No kitchen, no privacy. So we're trying to buy those motels and transfer them into permanent housing with kitchens, with partitions, as much as we can. So I hear exactly what you're saying. I'm not saying we can't fail. And we have created, like I said, a lot of contingencies, a lot of ways to say, if we are failing at this, you know, we are still keeping those folks housed at this expensive rate, which is not a great option for them either just because of the, like I said, the lack of privacy, the one-room motel. But we are keeping them housed. That's why the governor is now on the hook to move a little faster to get housing developed. And that's why the governor asked us to expedite the provisions of my bill as well. And what I will say is the provisions of my bill, the home bill, are also similar to what's happening all over the country. We are not alone in this housing and homelessness crisis. We, you know, and I'm not saying we shouldn't welcome them as Vermonters, but we do have people coming from other states. This is a regional crisis and a national crisis. And all of our states, especially in the north are figuring out that what we had for a long time was polite segregation. Was the idea that we would say, you know, if you build duplexes and fourplexes, then you invite those people into the neighborhood. Those people whose food smells different, who fixes their car in the driveway, who bring problems to our neighborhood. And those people I'm using in quotes to say that a lot of discrimination has happened when it comes to what starter housing looks like for people. Listen, I started in a duplex. The governor started in a duplex. Many Vermonters couldn't afford to live here if they didn't start with something that they owned where they could rent another piece out or have a family member live with them and another piece of their home. And now we're saying that housing is, you know, undesirable. So we've zoned it out of a lot of communities. Our bill, as of July 1, so four days ago, our bill made sure that you can create a duplex anywhere in Vermont by right. Anywhere that you can create a single family home, you can create a duplex. So ending discrimination against multi-family housing is something that's going to get housing built the way Vermonters want to see it. You know, cottages, duplexes, things that look like a barn as a fourplex, you know, they can look really nice. Exactly. But, you know, the rest of the country's doing the same thing. The same year we passed an end to single family zoning, so did Washington, Montana, New Hampshire, Maine. So every state is saying we haven't built enough housing and especially housing that the average person can afford as their first home. So in addition, we're creating first generation home buyer grants. We're doing all kinds of things to tackle the vast need for housing that people have. And like I said, I think one of the most critical forms of housing we need to create is senior housing. You know, Cathedral Square is right behind us. They have a waiting list of three years for people to get in. And those are people who've committed their life to Vermont. Folks who are on that waiting list want to get out of their huge homes that they can't afford to heat, that they can't afford to take care of their yard and get into assisted living. So those homes can be available to Vermont families. Well, across probably the world, individuals who come to a situation where they have to live in hotels are probably economically challenged. And I think that just, you know, some of the people who live in these hotels can just find a place, as you said. But economically challenged means that you have to live in a place that it could be in the woods or it could be any couch to couch, you know. And usually that tends to high risk. High risk, because that's what happens when you're in an economically challenged neighborhood. If you're living in the ghetto, guarantee you're going to see some gangsters, you're going to see drug dealers, you're going to hear some shootings, you know. So when you put, and I worked with these individuals for many years, and if you put people all together, there's economically challenged who's been living in these high risk environments, then how does that, what does that do? You got a lot of people in the same place. There's economically challenged that's coming from the woods in high risk environments. How's that going to work? Yeah, well Bruce, what you're doing is giving me the opportunity to go back and just say so that people know why I'm so passionate about this. You know, my family home was foreclosed when I was a kid. My sister struggles with bipolar disorder, and she was homeless for a while in Los Angeles. You know, just feeling, she just felt re-traumatized and unsafe at home and chose instead to live on the streets that was really painful for our family. You know, but of course what we wanted more than anything was for her to be safe. So, you know, many families have experienced housing insecurity, and the divide between whether or not you've experienced housing insecurity or not is so huge, and it's growing, right? Because if you own your home right now, you've basically won the lottery without doing very much. Home prices have never been higher, and they've never climbed as quickly as they have in this pandemic with the housing crisis we have. So, renters are now facing, you know, a higher and higher burden, and then all the rungs on the ladder get more and more stuck, you know. You can't afford a place to rent, you can't find a place to even get shelter, you can't find a motel room, you're on the streets, or, you know, gain new traumas you didn't have before. What you're talking about is congregate housing, which a lot of folks are moving away from. You know, big open shelter complexes, places where you don't have the dignity of a door you can close and lock, and maybe, you know, a window of your own. I mean, we're moving away from that type of housing where people are all mushed together in one big space. And what we need to do is let our housing ecosystem, our housing providers, do their work because they get it. No one's closer to the need and closer to the pain. You know, as you probably remember, earlier this year we had a young woman who was axed to death by someone in housing who, you know, I'm going to go ahead and guess is experiencing a lot of maybe trauma and delusional thinking, but, you know, ended up murdering someone else and is now on trial for that. And when you look at situations like that, we need to give the resources directly to those putting themselves in harm's way to try and provide housing to others and let them do their work. They are the ones asking for permit reform because they know that a majority of the community wants affordable housing, wants care rich, so, you know, service provision in those housing complexes. And then one neighbor can disagree with that and push that out of the way where people need it, push it out of downtowns, or they can, you know, stop the project altogether or make it a lot more expensive. So no one more than our housing provider said please get some of these permit, duplicative permit processes out of the way so we can afford to build more housing. And you look at, you know, the mayor talked about building a shelter in downtown Burlington, that should have happened years ago. We should already have a shelter in downtown Burlington. So part of our bill was that you can't regulate the hours or the timeline of those shelters. You might be able to, you know, make sure that they're professionally operated but you can't say it's pushed out of the neighborhood or it can't operate effectively at all because we're saying it can't operate for more than these hours. Wow. That's straight enough. So talking about the Elwood Street shelters, 35, I don't want to call it pods because people came to me and said that's a pod person. And that's pitiful. That's pitiful to call somebody a pod person because that's the way people were calling from upper levels were saying these pods they didn't want to call it like Burlington Elwood Street shelters. They was calling them pods too. And so I guess that's what the mayor put together. Him and his team put that together. That was their idea of using some of the federal funding to do that. And so for me and I told all of them you mayor and all of them CEDO and housing I didn't like the idea. I thought it was I almost said something but I but the reasons why for me, like you say all right first of all all these shelters over 30, 35 don't have outside to a unit that everybody got to use to use the bathroom, take a shower how safe is that first of all to me I don't like the idea and then another thing I don't like about it is that every place probably in the world like build projects you know I know all those tough projects I lived in a higher problem my cousin in the projects but anyways everybody in the world build these types of projects in the highest risk areas of the whole state the highest risk they started that project but you remember it was like the highest risk neighborhood old town states and king street and I don't know if it's still but they build right in the economically challenged high risk neighborhood right the first chance they got boom owner fed and then they spend 1.4 but temporary housing for three years all that work you gotta try to find something to keep it you can't build all that stuff and then not and drop it okay now we gotta pack up no way that's too much it's gonna cost you just as much to pack up but anyways my argument was my art so wonderful did the paintings on the shelters and we did that CETO asked us to do it but I agreed to do that because I wanted to make it feel like a whole place to live you know what I'm saying and that's why I did that I just want to make it feel like then I said to these people who central level people who got the you're a central level I'm a commissioner but who decided that we're gonna put these units out here I told them these individuals who are wonderful they went through some changes some situations they're coming from any housing but you know what they need some cognitive thinking they need to go over some thinking errors and patterns and what is conflict resolution how can we get better education so I said I wanted to bring my straight talk from my program which is about thinking errors and patterns conflict resolution, excitement, drug and alcohol evaluations and about how do you see yourself and how can we help you with our partners these people are coming in certain organizations you can sign up to go to housing you can sign up over sign up there's gotta be some commitment if you're gonna stay here you're gonna go through some thinking errors and patterns and help yourself with the thinking because you cannot change your thinking with the same thinking that puts you at risk you just can't do it you got new information to change I know that I got a degree in psychology and so they want to choose other people who know nothing about programs that I created thinking errors and patterns we all fall underneath them some people somebody said I never got arrested have you ever done a 40 and a 30 you broke the law you just didn't get caught you use some justification and even the police will minimize it you can probably do 40 but you can't do 45 they ain't got the thinking in the law say 30 so we all have used thinking errors and patterns there's a lot in what you're saying Bruce let me try to summarize number one those particular pods they were the hot new thing when CEDO and the city purchased them they might have been the only thing available in mass production but you've seen a lot of cities say this was not the right answer you look at Austin for example they have the old pods and white like you said they were trying to paint them trying to make them look like anything but a porta potty basically they are very unattractive and small and they don't work they came from California where we need something for cold weather so since then Austin right next to those pods has put these newer small modular homes that were designed by the Harvard Graduate School of Education they're colorful they're insulated and they're easy to put together yourself like you need two people and an Allen wrench you just need and what that alone does is give people agency because the other thing I hear you saying is there's been no agency in all of this there's no what do you like about where you live now in the woods and how do we recreate a place with nature a place where you can or maybe you want to be close to a certain community you know you want to be close to your favorite spot how do we understand why people are living where they are and how to recreate some of that agency in this different community then you know so I'm talking to a woman from Alaska she's really she's seen as a leader in creating what they call pallet shelters out there so that's another term another fancy term but they're basically building the shelters with the unhoused community and they're saying what do you want this to look like do you want a central gathering place do you want a pretty area to put your trash like if you give people agency and they've decided how they're going to keep themselves organized then you're much further along I'm thinking too we're right in battery park we had the battery park camp right we had an occupation of battery park and over time those folks who were here started to figure out okay we need some we need people to do trash pick up we need a meeting once a day you know where everyone gathers to talk about issues we need safety we need you know somebody had an AR-15 across from the encampment threatening people in the encampment because they didn't like you know racial justice conversation so that group had to evolve you know their what they did they had to get donations so that they had regular meals they did communal living that has some lessons in it you know and so we have to look at models that have worked that have given people shelter that's year-round and where they want to be or gives them some sense of well-being and that you know where they have some agency and they're given the tools they need to be successful and then you know services are available if they're ready for those but you know I come from Los Angeles originally where 75% of people who are unhoused are veterans they have PTSD they're really struggling with just living within four walls so you really have to go to the individual and make sure you're providing what they need we now have veteran based housing available in Winooski so you know it's really I think the governor said this I mean we've all said this we don't have so many homeless people unhoused people in Vermont that we can't wrap our arms around each one and figure out what they need and that also requires that we don't say we don't push them out of every neighborhood like you said but the ones that already have the most need and are most at risk and that's often what happens that's a total social justice issue yeah so you know Mayor Raul I like I like him a lot I know his whole family I like him on the personal side a lot of part of the business side I don't like a body you know what I'm saying and I let him know and so I said I met with him on February 24th or something and me and my equity manager and Nelson and I said to him I said you know I said you know this is you built this in the highest risk neighborhood and I said I can understand this is what you had because that's vacant parking parking lot or whatever and that's why you used it but I say the same thing I mentioned earlier that putting people high risk you know it's high risk when you're living in the woods it's not that you might be doing some high risk but it's high risk you're living down there because you can attack by a rabid raccoon or something you know what I'm saying it's high risk well and remember they bulldozed Sears Lane this property that was in a wealthier part of town you know that where people had been living where they had found you know that they were kind of left alone and they were close to nature so you know they did physically move where they said people could stay and live and I think that's where you get into conversations about you know the right to exist where you like and one of our basic goals in Vermont our principles is that you know in the local state when people can live in dignity where they prefer and you know that's the core of a lot of intersections of environmental and social justice you know Vermont is a beautiful place and everyone should have access to what makes it beautiful so one of the things I said to the mayor about the shelters on Elmwood Street was that wonderful individuals that are still living in high risk ways or new thinking or help ways to get out of betterment you know like the work you do and I said you know and then you move them in the high risk neighborhood and I said you know and then downtown City Hall Park they do all the shootings down that's all high risk they live in these right there all those shootings high risk sure enough they had some situation where the police had to be called up to those shelters and some lady got knocked over in her wheelchair in the head over camera that's another thing happening you know and so you know you know it's going to happen you know what I'm saying that's just going to happen they already moved in the high risk neighborhood to figure that people were shooting all downtown right in that area from City Hall Park right in that area and so I think what you're pointing to is that our housing provider a shambling housing trust Vermont Housing Conservation Board Cathedral Square what everyone's been saying is you can't just give us money to build and send mortar you have to give us the resources to have social workers in there to have the staff that can help with trauma informed care you know Harbor Place is a great example now there's going to be hundreds of units just a half a mile from where I live in Shelburne for people to have their own individual space that's a lot of people in one place on a transportation corridor who probably need help making sure they have the economic tools and the healthcare tools to stay where they want to be and in the situation that they want to be in and Shamblin Housing Trust our housing providers none of them can do it without the adequate amount of staff one of the things we did in our budget as well is increased pay for mental health care workers these are co-existing I mean my bias is housing that's the committee I chair and so you can't do anything without housing but you can't help someone keep their housing unless they have health care and that includes mental health care and so we have really tried to look piece by piece in the budget at how we make sure that it's not just housing we're providing people but a helping hand somebody to extend their hand and say I'm here to make sure you're able to keep this housing and break any cycles that are going to affect your kids no doubt about it you always did have the plan execution is the thing you got to go to what you know for a fact is common sense and you got to go to all what you got to go to for some common sense it's like regular if you're an American you got to know what your ABC's and 1, 2, 3 and that's how basic you are saying this common sense stuff why do we have to go and these people are using the biggest words they can for common swerve for elementary school type we don't have to explain it to them like you're a scientist you can say we need to build more housing because these many hundreds of people a thousand are homeless I mean how simple is that I mean so one thing I have to remind myself all the time is that the two times that we've had the greatest income equality so the greatest equality among people and their well-being was after the black plague and World War II and I say that not to be a downer great upheaval and great crises unfortunately because of human nature are often what it takes for us to rebalance and remember our common sense you know not over complicate things not you know just make things more difficult than they need to be and put hurdles in people's way to have what they need and the pandemic has been you know one of those types of events it I mean frankly we should all stop and remember this was you know and still is an unfolding painful event for people some people and then you got to work from home and then you spend time with your kids or your dog but for a lot of people they lost a loved one they were sick themselves they're still dealing with the trauma of that and they're just too tired for us to run in circles they need us to engage in common sense thinking and so you know we I hate that we have these crises I hate that we have this immense loss but sometimes all you can do in that is try to make sure you're out of it you're stronger you have more common sense at the helm and I think that's what we did in the legislature this year is you know just say where is the money needed most put the money there Wow so so another thing too is like after the Floyd death and you put on that incredible event and thank you for letting our arts are wonderful be a part of it so after this death you know for some reason for some reasons you know I've been fighting for for since we know each other is we've been fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion justice diversity, equity and inclusion we've been fighting for that forever being people of color we've been fighting for BIPOC POC other individuals you know what I'm saying we've been fighting for that for years now all of a sudden across the world people need racial equity managers you know why is that? now all of a sudden it's about racial equity it's all about let's all sit in the back room or come out of the back room sit in the front room and make decisions together was this not happening I sit on so much stuff it's still the same way they just got policies and procedures written in there who they are about us and we hired an equity director oh yeah two of them the black ones that was here resigned you know Winnieski and Burlington they resigned why could they say they didn't have enough leadership from the higher up their mayors actually and so I hear you please I'm trying to say the good words so what this is reminding me of is something Taisha Green did one one time you know I'm trying to remember it was summer or something but you know at some point Taisha and her racial equity inclusion and belonging team in Burlington did an event just for people of color it was on zoom because it was early in the pandemic it was in the same year that George Floyd was murdered and instead of just us all sitting around and saying what can we do and how do we make ourselves feel comfortable again you know she went to people of color and said what are you looking for, what do you need it was really well facilitated and what even surprised me because you've heard me say over and over again we need representation we need more people of color in office we need people in leadership roles we need to just have critical mass of people of color in decision making capacity I thought that was my bias because that's what I do you know I thought people would say you know teen center or you know they want all those things but what came out of the meeting was the top vote getter for everything was we can't have these things until we are represented everywhere that decisions are made in big enough numbers that we don't have to put ourselves out you know on a limb in order to say something important and difficult for people to hear and so you know we still haven't achieved that even an isolated person in a role that's impossible for them to achieve success in and then wondered why they're having a breakdown or why they're not meeting the metrics that someone created so people are leaving those roles and those roles are being seen as potentially unsuccessful and I you know well I haven't changed what I've said either probably like you which is you can have that role but you can't put all of the work on that role if you see that person as the one who comes and let you go back to not thinking about equity not thinking about your own complicit way of trying to be comfortable again and not do the hard work then you are setting that person up to fail so that's what has happened in a lot of these contexts is people have been put in positions where they've been set up to fail and I almost want to create some kind of checklist where an organization has to say like here's the work we've done to get ready because we've done some of the work so they can feel a little safer when they come into this role because otherwise they're not even going to get people of color in any job and I keep trying to remind people we have a workforce shortage we have a workforce crisis essentially everywhere from you can't get a bagel now at the same hours because no one's working we don't have enough surgeons and who are those folks? they're people of color 90% of the population growth in Vermont coming into the state is people of color in the workplace you don't have a workforce so this is a selfish reason you need to get it together but you also need to do the work so that you're not setting someone up to fail and harming them and I, you know that's all the work I do is anti-racism and youth stuff I'm on the commissioner for human rights commission and other things but you know I knew it was for a fact when I came to Vermont it was the whitest state in America in 1989 when I got here and you cannot change about how things are done if you don't listen to both sides if I'm an equity director or manager or whatever I'm in the area you hire me as a company I just can't have a black I'm just like you all my staff is black people and so when I sit in my boardroom or my staff room when we talk about issues and concerns and then my team come up with you know what I'm saying is that disparities or you really don't know what white people think this is what black people think but you know you need some white people on your team too when you're doing racial justice right and equity because you know I know you've been through all these discussions before you're a white person you know you made me feel uncomfortable I feel stereotype when you say this and they say damn I didn't know that made you that's something my grandmother used to say and so yeah because this is just that because my grandma taught me just that and then white people say well you know you guys really I'm scared you make me feel this this way that way and so together they can come up with a real good answer you just can't it's the same damn thing if you got everybody's black on your team and you're making it in the white state in America and you're making a decision how things can get better white people you know how we can make live together better whatever the hell it is whatever you're trying to do you got to have white and black on your team you have to if you want real answers or you're just doing the same thing the white people have been doing for years and they just make their decisions on their own based on what they think and how are you going to think about how I feel and you know how you're going to make a decision how to get better with white people if you don't have to think if you don't hear what they think I mean I often often find myself returning stop harming us as black people and people of color he was saying what does it look like when you know our whole life isn't defined by this conflict and his vision of the beloved community reminds me of this quote that I've quoted in an article about the mayor frankly which is you know the absence of tension is not the same thing as the presence of peace and so often people say oh we want to you know remove this person or have this space only so that there's less tension that's not the same as us all being together and recognizing what do we need to be able to communicate in nonviolent ways and be in relationship in nonviolent ways and so much of this country was built on violence and subjugation of enslaved black people and indigenous people who were erased that you have to acknowledge that violence to begin to have a conversation that is truly rooted in peace and so we need a beloved community that means everybody diversity makes us stronger it's what makes this country great I used James Baldwin's quote yesterday for 4th of July I love America more than any other country in this world and it's for exactly this reason that I can criticize her we need to be critical and that doesn't mean we don't love someone or love this country and in fact the only thing that will make this country great is if we truly can achieve that beloved community and the closer we get the more there are people who get angry and uncomfortable who want to roll back progress so what we have to do like you're saying is just keep approaching people with love and a commitment to stay in conversation and in relationship so before we go before we go what else is there to say we gotta talk about Mira so here's the mic so there's some change with you you got a baby and every time I see you for the 15 years we've known each other oh this is a big deal it is a big deal here's Mira here's Mira sleeping peacefully she has been the whole show and that says a lot about me winning the baby

Are there any women Kriya Yogis on the path? Women? Women Kriya Yogis on the path? There have been, but very few, because Kriya Yoga demands a certain extreme sense of discipline and perseverance at certain stages of its sadhana. Generally, it's not that it's not possible, but generally, women did not choose Kriya Yoga because they don't like that kind of hardship. It is not necessary that Kriya Yoga should mean hardship. No. But biologically, a woman is slightly disadvantaged when it comes to Kriya Yoga. Not essentially so. But to a certain extent, she is disadvantaged. But what I have seen and known is the general Kriya Yoga that was taught was mostly designed for a male because most of the practitioners were male. So generally, only men walked the path of Kriya Yoga because it involved a certain discipline and it involved a certain taking away from the normal situations of life which was not possible at all in this culture for a woman because by the time she was eight or nine, she was married. By the time she was fifteen, she had a child. So the question of she going into such atmospheres where which Kriya Yoga demands was not available. So traditionally, it got established like Kriya Yoga means it's for men only. Not because yoga is of that nature, because social conditions were of that nature. So all the practices that were designed and structured by various masters were all male-oriented because their disciples were male. Accordingly, they structured the processes. This does not mean no woman has walked Kriya Yoga path. But no many have, but they were a very small minority. So not too many practices were designed for them. But the systems that we have structured here are suitable for women also. They are doing well with their practices. So can a woman walk Kriya Yoga? Yes, she can, but if she wants to walk Kriya as a hundred percent path, she's slightly disadvantaged. She's come with a little handicap. So she needs little extra effort if she's willing to do that. It's always best if one wants to progress to mix all aspects of life to create a proper combination of these four dimensions of Gnana, Karma, Kriya and Bhakti. And in a woman generally, the emotional dimension in him or in her is more dominant than other dimensions. It's good to make use of that. Why give up an advantage and take up a handicapped position? It's better to make use of the advantages that she has.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzsY8-aiX7M", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC5JBtmoz7ePk-33ZHimGiDQ	Jenkins Governance Meeting August 22, 2022	Jenkins governance meeting August 22, 2022	[ "jenkins" ]	2022-08-22T19:22:34	2024-02-05T07:56:55	3,448	vzLQlWo813Y	Welcome everyone this is Jenkins governance meeting it's the 22nd of August 2022. Thanks for being here topics I see on the agenda today include news. Action items. Upcoming elections. CDF topics. Jenkins.io website revert and forums and community topics. Any other topics we need to put on the agenda. Nope. Okay, great. Go ahead. There was a whole discussion on the blue ocean PR. Do we want to talk about it and that more I don't know if that's a governance thing. I think it well I think it's worth discussing we've got the right people here because Kevin's here you're here I'm here at minimum three people who are very involved in that poor requester here so yeah let the blue ocean disclaimer. Current status, and I've got some information from the past thing so let's carry that forward. I should have copied it in already. Here we go. And maybe what we call it is admonition so we use the same word every time. Okay. Any other topics that need to be added to the agenda. No, I'm good. Okay. All right so news. The Jenkins 2.2.361.1 release is scheduled for September 7 2022 it will require Java 11 or Java 17. No more Java eight support. Thanks to Chris Stern for volunteering as the release lead, the release checklist is open. Feel free to help out as this is Chris's first opportunity as a release lead so if you see something that looks a little funny, coach and encourage and help. Grateful to Alex Brandis for his ongoing encouragement and for Tim Gicom. We'll do a CDF blog post in addition to a Jenkins blog post and the upgrade guide and the change log. Thanks to Kevin Martins and to Basel for their work on the upgrade guide the change log etc. Any questions or topics on that item. Hey, next then action items and here I have to acknowledge. We've made some progress on the Linux foundation funds transfer, but it's not yet available in the final mode on the site the crowdfunding site should increase by about, I believe it was about. Another $1,500 or $1,600 after the Linux foundation has transferred the funds into our account that were given to us by Google summer of code 2021. So that we should expect to see further funds arrive there. Next action item was Jenkins docs signaling list I've made no progress in the likely be several weeks before I make progress on that. Contributor summit blog pass post no progress but I've made progress on other blog posts and the CDF zoom account this one I think Gavin you had the right approach, Gavin suggested forwarding the including a private Google group in the in the CDF mailing list right so that they would get all the notices of the, the token, when it's updated. Yeah, I mean the other option is just to add each person individually to the CMS but I don't know how hard it is to do because I've never seen or heard of this man listen to this week. Right. And that's, that's a Michelle mark no. She's a CDF person is the no, ultimately the one to decide and I think she'll pick the hey let's add one list and then let people subscribe and unsubscribe from that list. So I'll, I'll see if I can't push that forward with Michelle I think that's a good idea Gavin let's just do it. Anything else on the CDF zoom account question. All right, so next topic and I believe this was added by Gavin was upcoming elections. Yeah. Just was thinking about it. We do the elections every December ish November, which is coming up pretty fast. I believe specifically the board members who are up for election do not get involved in the election so that's me never lean on this year. So someone else has to be involved. And I figured the discussion is happening sooner than later so it's not a surprise is a good plan but Yeah, good suggestion so we've usually relied on the infrastructure officer. In that case that would be Damien DuPorto, but I don't know that he's aware that he's is that that usual person. There are two parts firstly is infrastructure part I mean this voting thing, etc, which can be duplicated from discourse. If we stick to the process from the previous year. And to be honest to this what I would advocate for to stick to the process at least once. And also there is all the logistics part like announcements waiting candidates etc is usually a governing board member doing it. I mean last year I live in everything so. Well, so is this one where we ought to put it on. I could probably be the one who takes on that announcement and betting candidates thing coordinated with Damien and if he needs to do the whole thing, or if I get overloaded. The candidates is for the entire board. Okay, at least how it's written in the governance document. Okay. Yeah, so announcements etc, whatever works. I can also participate in these things if some help needed. But yeah, I still cannot commit on my band wife. I mean, I will be definitely be able to send emails etc because everything can be used from previous years. So in terms of a timeline like the timeline then would be usually it's a September. Begin. Gathering candidates or gather candidates. October. And that means announce and gather candidates. And then October. Finalize candidates. And November do the voting. Yes, something like that. Within the new officers, new new officers. Effective early December. Yes. New officers and board members. All right, sorry. Yeah, thank you. New board members and officers. Yeah, very good. Okay. Yeah, so we could probably shrink the timeline a bit. Yeah, from what I've seen having long elimination period, haven't been very successful in the past. Also, yeah. So we need to confirm the new nations with candidates to get the statements. So for that one or two weeks would be a must. But I think that even if we started on October 1st, we could have completed this process. Okay. Sorry, Gavin, did you have some comment? Nope. Oh, okay. All right. How about let's put the mark to bring the topic. To the Jenkins info meeting tomorrow. With the info team, or maybe, maybe it's better to do an online discussion rather than put it in the meeting. So, we get the topic out there saying, Hey, here's what we think we want to do. Let's propose a plan. And so I'm all like I'm with you on the let's use, let's use discourse as the voting location again. Gavin, any reason that you have why we would not want to use the same voting technique we use last year. I don't agree with discourse with voting. I think we did discourse for this meeting. Oh, all right. I'm sorry, you're right. Right. It was what we did is we used discourse to register to vote and then we we use the, the system from Cornell to do a today do the actual voting. No objections to me though. I don't know if it misses. Well, yeah, no, I think the registrations part worked well I don't think how we were organizing the list of candidates inside of discourse as well but that's something that managers can decide how to organize it. I think user facing it should still be the same processes last year. Okay. And then voting through the through come doors it doors it voting system system at Cornell University, and they were, they, they had to actually use some emergency recovery work for us last year and seem to do it all right. Anything else on the on the upcoming elections. No, but if they want to host outside of the university I can probably help arrange it. Oh, okay, good. All right. Not necessarily part of the election but just because I think I can. The professor that that runs the server interacted with this very positively through that so Gavin may be able to host may have resource or access to resources. Okay, good. Excellent. Okay. Anything else on upcoming elections. Okay, next topic was CDF topics or like anything that you want to share there. Well, one thing if you're curious, there is a summary update on CDF to see activities in the to see channel on the CDF slug. So a few items from there that might be of an interest. So, yeah, I continue on as to see chair for another year after the elections in the to see. And as I said, it will be my last term. So, I have strong opinion that I shouldn't overstay more than two terms. So, yeah, so by August to 723, I will step down. One way or another from this post and will be organized and over. One impact on Jenkins that currently I represent kind of represent a Jenkins in the CDF governing board. And I keep pushing for topics like project infrastructure sorry for the outcome is not visible because there is no outcome, but be sure I push it every time. And the next meeting is on Thursday. But yeah, so I will be bringing up this topic there. Thank you. Yeah, so just go ahead because then there would be other topics. So I've, I've reached out with first hope to the cloud bees representative on the board. I just got back from vacation so I'll check again to see if I've actually got an answer in my email. Okay. And a few other updates. So first of all, a project to see was accepted to the CDF as incubating project is a distributed package delivery network. In my opinion, it doesn't really impact anything for Jenkins, including potentially upcoming changes in our factory plugin introducing the support to. I've already talked to Jay frog that it should be rather separate plugin. You know the story about the factory plugin. Yeah, also for pluggable artifacts storage etc it might be some follow ups. Another update. There is a new project started a CDF reference architecture. This project was presented at the to see meeting at the best practices meetings. I can share link to the slide deck. But ultimately is attempt to provide a reference architecture for whoever deploys application delivery flows, including CI or CD. And in theory, this reference architecture should somehow find balance between all CDF member projects and other projects in the ecosystem. I have no idea how it would particularly happen. Of course, we do have some interest that Jenkins is listed there. This is a recommended solution. Let's see for CI. Not 100% sure about CD but needs to be determined. I will share the link. So if someone is interested in this high level recommendations and the white papers. This is a project you might join. So how much would be for the community. So a few other updates. So the project called directive we likely apply for the CDF membership. So directive is a cloud native pipeline engine that is based on cloud events for receiving and sending events but otherwise it's let's say cloud native pipeline engine that is super flexible in theory and they actually want to introduce it in the CDF. So, like, did I get the name of that project correctly interactive. Directive. Oh, thank you. Okay, so like you all know it's like these because it's parents. So every time. But yeah, otherwise it's like that. So these might have some overlap is Jenkins well. I said many times that Jenkins pipeline engine should be pluggable. It's probably another use case. Well, another implementation possibility along with tecton which is already a part of the CDF. But yeah, ultimately, CDF is getting more pipeline engines. There are some discussions about other things for example about dagger potential interactivity to etc etc so yeah most likely this topic will keep appearing. Obviously it doesn't seem that we have any community bandwidth to make it a pipeline engine pluggable at the moment. I'm not sure whether we have much demand for that. Don't feel the messenger. Right, right so Jenkins pluggable pipeline engine is not actively developed. Yeah, I looked into that several years ago when I was working on a multi tenant Jenkins. It's not. And got it. The main problem that basically Jenkins pipeline has completely separate implementation of the engine and not integrated in the Jenkins core. So long story short, it will require some major league hacking. Yeah. What else about CDF. Basically, nothing I would say. So one thing to keep in mind that now we have a treasure David lie. So David could potentially help us with all the stories like Jesus funding, etc. Once he does the take over. I don't know whether all money landed in LFX crowdfunding, but if so, it's good. Yeah, and when I checked earlier, just a few minutes ago it the funny hadn't the funds had not yet arrived. I was glad to see Tara, Tara De La Mark and Alyssa both saying that there was progress, but finally funds I don't think have yet arrived. Yeah, if we look where some additional pump plumbing. Okay. All right, thanks. Any questions to Oleg on CDF topics. Okay next topic then was the blue ocean admonition current stuff. My fingers blue ocean admonition current status. So we've added a statement of the current state of blue ocean to a number of different pages. We had several additions. And then asking Basel to add the admonition to the plug in documentation. I think that's done right Basel, I've seen it and I've seen a website, as well as the read me and GitHub, when you find the repository. Great. All right so then we had one more which was at the admonition to the Docker of entry for the blue ocean container. I think that one is the, I think the most, the most needed because that container gets much less attention than any other than any of the officially maintained containers. Unfortunately, that one I've not done yet and I don't think anyone else has made any progress on it. I mean to bring up with the platform team. There is an issue with that one specifically and then in Docker in general, where people are installing plugins, expecting it to take effect the next time they launch a new image and it doesn't. Because plugins are installed to the rest directory and not the actual plugin directory. And Jenkins and startup doesn't override your plugins directory with anything in ref it only only copies new files or sorry. Non non existent files. So there's been a couple like that's what really was the big issue with the blue ocean upgrade and all the issues in the forum and people are like I downloaded the new image and it's still broke like, yep, that'll happen. Okay, so that's further motivation then to get people off the. Now is the standard container any different. Well the center continue to contain plugins are very few. They all get installed on startup and that's it. The problem is that it's a, it's a limitation with the design and not the block of blue ocean plugin or the blue ocean image specifically. Right so there's been a couple other people who have posted things like I've been I've been creating Docker image with these plugins in the past, but they don't update when I update the plugin you're like yeah you got to delete your plugins directory and let it copy the new files over again on top of them. Because Jenkins home is outside of the document here. I see. Okay. So I don't know what the right solution to this is, but it is related to this and something that we should think about further. Yeah, so it may need changes in the official Jenkins container as well. It may need changes in core because I think copying ref to Jenkins home is a core thing and I don't know who. Would we would we prioritize that because I don't see a strong, I don't know what the original motivation was to have a separate blue ocean image but I think the image was documentation to that motivation was to increase adoption I think it's already served as purpose. Yeah, no I'm pretty sure the container was just to be like, hey, one, one command will get you certain information. Right. And we dropped its use in documentation 12 or 18 months ago. So there's there's there's not really a compelling reason to do anything except deprecate the blue ocean container but I think what Gavin was describing may also be an issue in the actual controller container that we officially support as well. Like, like for me, I own his container with all the plugins pre installed so that can roll back if I need to, but I specifically have helm delete the flag in the home container or home to fig that deletes the plugin directory and start up. Right. So that's how I get around it but it's a really ugly hack and people who are not using helm like using open shift or just using Docker by themselves don't have that option. I think that would be, I think I've run into this issue in the past as well and I've done the same exact work around by deleting the plugin directory on startup. So I don't know if there's a ticket file for that already but that might be a good ticket to have in the either in the Docker packaging. But tracker or the core back tracker, because I think I'm familiar with this problem. I remember having to delete that director. Yeah, I have not brought it up specifically so I don't know if there's a ticket but it's been on my list for a while to, and this discussion of blue ocean reminded me to that I should bring it up for blue ocean specifically you know we could. We could just print a warning saying that this image is deprecated and then sleep for two minutes right that's pretty good right that would that would wake people up if they haven't. If they haven't noticed it. Honestly, I think, especially with Kubernetes you just hit deploy you wait till it's a bop and you're good to go you don't really wait, you don't go oh it's two minutes slower today than it was yesterday. But but finding a way, I think we do need to find a way to communicate to users that they're running a deprecated container. Yeah, I don't know what that method is but I think we owe it to them it might be an administrative monitor that says your container name is something we think you should not be using anymore. It's something like you write it filed to the disk the minute they've been monitor checks that file. It was cool you're running an image is based on one that we don't support. Yeah, that could be done as well. Wouldn't be pretty but it would get the message across. That's what matters. Yeah, and it would catch anyone who's extending blue ocean where if you're looking at the image you wouldn't catch that. So, but that's a platform thing not a governance thing. Right so topic for platform city. Okay. I'm very good at volunteering other people at understanding scope. Anything else on blue ocean admonition current status. Okay next topic then was, we had a Jenkins.io website layout look and feel improvement pull request that came in from a new contributor. After three or four of us had reviewed it we decided hey let's merge it. Then we detected several cases where oh wait it regressed something decided let's let's revert it so we've reverted now we're hoping that that contributor will continue he's expressed interest in bringing the, the change in as a series of smaller projects. I haven't seen any of those smaller pull request yet I'm hoping that the contributors is busy with the university, and we'll see them, if not, the concepts are there, and others could pick up and try those small improvements one step at a time. Did something recently changed with RSS feed. Oh, I don't, I don't know because I just got noticed, maybe they got published but I just got a notice yesterday I have RSS thing for the Jenkins thing. And essentially I got 123456 notifications and new posts yesterday for a week or two worth of blog posts so I'm wondering if we accidentally broke something and fixed it or it's just been my script maybe or something I don't know. Yeah, I fixed the bug in the RSS feed that had wrong URL. So that if your RSS reader uses the canonical URL that the feed provides. That might be a cause might be yes not my scripts I don't know. So, I think the individual entry URLs didn't change, but the canonical URL of the entire thing changed because it was still pointing to a course kid or test site that hasn't existed in a decade. And if some sort of ideas computed using that. It's understandable. Nice. Also welcome Daniel. Yeah, thanks Daniel. Okay, anything else on the Jenkins.io website revert before we continue to next topic. So I have a question about the review criteria for some projects in the for some parts of the project. It seems to me that for certain kinds of contributions. Reviewers would approve the contribution, as well as its exact opposite. Like if someone moves something from right to left. Thanks for the contribution that's great. Someone move something from the left to the right. Thanks for the contribution. That's great. So is this just a cynical idea that I'm having or would you say that's actually something that that user can see happening. Like, do we do we actually look at the man, approve the exact opposite. So in this particular case, I think the color scheme was changed from sort of a grayish thing to orange or something. And I was wondering about if a year down the line someone showed up and said, well, this looks terrible. We're switching from orange to gray would that be approved as well. Good question. I, in terms of my ability to review those kind of style changes, I am I on others case and sense and if they say they they like it, I think I'm willing to say yes, I like it as well. So, but would that prevent me from switching back in the future, probably not. So I think your, your answer at least speaking specifically about Mark weight. I think for anybody else but for me, there are definitely times when I would either approve a contribution or approve the exact opposite, because I don't worry about those two things at that level. So I think that's what you're saying right Daniel is merit of the change critically enough to not reject to then reject if it were the exact opposite. I think usually you can go one way. Going from something to better. But if you go from something to something but different. That seems like a waste of time of everyone involved. Right, agreed. Yeah, now in this case, I don't think it was actually going back to the opposite but I assume that your question was asking that as a thought experiment as a. Hey, is this indicating we need to be more careful in in our reviews of things to Jenkins.io. So in this case, I think I can answer the question with yes should be more careful because in this case is the fund was changed from a very deliberate recent choice to use the platform default fund. The pull request went to Ariel and feedback in the PR said we don't want Ariel, and then it was first removed and added back again and then merged, but I thinking about it more generally, if I don't know if a border is made rounder in the corners and then another pull request shows up and says, we don't want corners that are quite that rounded. One of the two pull requests should not be merged would be my position here and I now wonder whether we are in general prepared to provide such feedback. Well, I always try to look for justification and to apply the needs justification label if there isn't one present. You know so my, my criteria for merge for core is not only is this not introducing a regression. That's, that's obviously the criterion, but on top of that, I'm always trying to ask myself, what problem are we trying to solve. Is this the desired solution for that problem. In many cases, it's stated explicitly, sometimes it's only implicit. And in that case, it's harder to review the change because it's requires the reviewer to take on the burden of filling the implicit justification in their mind. And sometimes that could be very easy for the reviewer if they're very familiar with that area of the code. If they're not familiar with it and the justification is implicit, it can be very challenging. And in, in such cases, it's a fine line but sometimes I will avoid reviewing these types of changes and other in other cases I'll step in but ask for more explicit justification. I found that most people are willing to provide a justification if asked for it. It's, it doesn't, it's not, it's not in my experience, the request that's too, too much to ask. It's not like asking people to implement a very large amount of monotonous work or something it's just more like explain the problem you're trying to solve and how the solution solves that problem. And, and I think that's really the only, the only best, the best solution to this problem. And that, that can really change the conversation, because sometimes, you know, I ask that question and there's the answer I get is, oh, I didn't realize that the problem was more complicated than what I had originally thought or. Oh, now that now that we phrase it that way, there's maybe multiple solutions to this problem and this might not be the solution we choose. So just starting with the question what problem are we trying to solve. In other words, what's the justification for this. In my experience that's the best answer and I would never be afraid to ask that question as a reviewer or maintainer. Good guidance so for those of us who are on, we're doing reviews of content for Jenkins.io particularly structural changes it's a good, good place to ask for justification, good hint, thanks yeah. So Daniel in this particular case do you think that would have would have helped us get clarity I think here we had a large change that came in as a single change instead of a series of smaller steps. The proposal for the re redo of it is let's do it as a series of small steps, where we can evaluate each step. If that makes sense for the specific changes it's been a while already so I don't know the exact details but sometimes you are in the situation where each by each part on its own doesn't quite make sense and you need all of the parts together for it to really make sense right. I mean it's a general guideline in the project and I think elsewhere as well to have small or self contained changes. And if then you know there's one change for the color scheme and we can ask why. And if the answer is well I like orange a lot. And maybe that's not quite the justification we want for changes of this kind. I can see this also being a case of collision. So you know, someone coming in saying just change improves my life so we should merge it and you're like, we're like, yeah but you know you haven't really interacted with anyone outside of your narrow company or person. You don't know how it affects you know so you know because I've been thinking about how many how many times how many people we've had in the last couple weeks join various channels saying I want to get involved with the Jenkins community. I know Java how can I help and I'm like, honestly, you should be on the forums answering questions and seeing how people use the site before you're suggesting changes to the set to the thing. And you know this would definitely take that effect, or this would definitely help mitigate this issue where people are making changes because it affects only them and they think it's improvement but they don't really know how people are using it. But I've got a couple, I've got a couple of tier tickets that I could advertise to people they're interested in working on Java code. I mean, there's in the, in the newcomer's channel, there are a few people that joined recently bang out I want to, I want to help out where can I help out and Mark and I are like, here's a Derek list but we don't keep a, you know, I mean we could have a. Well, this is an off topic on that one. But I mean we could have a nice symbol landing page for someone to be like where can we help out but I think the important thing is we want to make sure that people are engaged with the community as a whole and not just the one person that it helps. Because that is what's called in the problem you know one person wants this font one person want this other font and back and forth. But I think there's also a lack of like community standards and I don't necessarily mean a full standard guide but like, I know we had some CSS issues there that in that big Jenkins IO thing that got reverted but most of us didn't know that that existed in the first place because there's no test for it, which is hard to do it. I mean no, no, it's, it's hard to test CSS changes but like from automated point of view, but like there's no comments, like saying oh this is specifically to handle specific bug I remember I fixed one which I didn't realize was a specific bug to different one. You know, so it's also very hard from a UI perspective to have that kind of long lasting documentation style guy and with UI changes you kind of just got to have someone go for guidance and that's just someone leading the whole thing. I mean, with with Jenkins IO specifically we are in the quite comfortable situation and I think it's all Gavin's fault that we have the test deployments, which, yeah, which actually makes it pretty convenient to just have the data and the test deployment up and compare them and see what changed. Obviously for more subtle changes that only affect the handful of pages or very specific pages. You might not encounter them, but I think the test deployments go quite a long way to make it easy to understand the implications of something and especially if you don't know what a change does or why it exists. That's an important review feedback. Why is this even here. I occasionally asked this in corporal requests changing the UI, because frankly I have no clue what the 10 level nested less does, or what it's for. And if usually the answer is good and sometimes the answers oh right that's a leftover from something that I can remove. So that's I think also important review feedback you can provide I don't know what this is for why does this exist please put a comment there. And experienced developers and mice in my that I've worked with have sometimes done self reviews where they will do a review of their own code where they explain the reasoning for every change that they've made if that that isn't something that's obvious from the code itself for the common ones. And, you know, perhaps not everyone would do that, without being asked, but in my experience that helps a lot, especially when you're making a change that has a lot of subtle implications. Self review is a great place to start. So, thanks. Okay. You know, so I was thinking about I'm always thinking about the preview environments because I am incredibly lazy when it comes to reviewing actual code changes as opposed to just reviewing the code itself. If we started to have standards in the in the PR template about what was changed. We could eventually have a script that actually generate screenshots to Oh, I see. So your idea was if, if the PR template listed the pages or the URLs of being changed we could, hey, give me a screenshot of this side by side. I think no matter what you should include a screenshot whenever you make a UI change in any way. Just because you want to highlight this is what I'm changing. And that should take effect for core or website or anything else. But that being said, I will be interested to see if we could set up or something like generate screenshots for like, hey, it is affected generate me a diff, you know, and there are CSS tools out there that will do that. So okay, the UI later on this page is changed. I'm going to show you before and after screenshot. Interesting. Good. Okay. Anything else with regard to the Jenkins.io website. Oh, I moved it to top level because I don't think it was Jenkins. Oh, okay, good to the review criteria topic. Okay, next topic then forums and community topics Gavin. Yeah, it's been quite a week or anything I wanted to really highlight. There were some comments on the last thing spring boot RCE post. I can't remember what the actual one was. Tim has closed it. I made a suggestion to close it to close it so no one else is going to comment being like, hey, what's the news on this new RCE this new alert. But it is something that we should be aware of that people are asking about. I don't know. I think in this case we should probably maybe one of us should write a comment on the bottom like for new, new alerts please contact security and then close the topic. So do we do we want that thinking about, we want to go that direction I guess I guess that's a, I'm not sure that the security team wants to be answering requests from people what about this. Because when they, when they detect an issues like on something like that I believe they publish the statement. If, if it's if we're affected right. So is there a drawer statement or a standard statement which pretty if we're, if we're affected will say so. No, maybe that's too, too creative. I believe that is exactly what the site says hold on. Oh it is. Oh okay. So I can respond here might be nice to you. Right, so do not contact the Jenkins security team, asking us for compliance documents certifications or to fill out a questionnaire. We will not respond to such queries if we consider it necessary to provide a statement in response to incidents such as log for shell or spring shell you will find a response in our blog, which is not exactly the situation right because we are not related dependencies, and people are worried about them but it does not rise to the level of everyone's losing their mind over this. So, yeah in this case, it was spring for shell blog post which was a good blog post and then now people are like is Jenkins vulnerable to the new spring framework vulnerability blah blah blah and I'm like, if I guess the standard question should be if we are will write a post about it. But it also is like a lack of communication doesn't mean that we're not vulnerable. It's hard to say anything nice easy for that. It's difficult right so because we typically would not say yep, we are vulnerable, and you're just out of luck for the next two weeks. So we would just provide a fix if it's important enough. I'm sure what the best approach there would be. We get people who basically report vulnerabilities if we will in dependencies in on the search mailing list, and in the security G round. And usually, it's in the form of them dumping findings from a security scanner on us, which is quite unpleasant. And we will typically tell them, we're not affected because we're not and we usually already are aware of these issues. And that's about it. How, how frequent is this so this is only happened once in the last two weeks, it was just a bunch of comments on the most recent spring family framework blog post. It's coming so many people lost this. So not many many but Tim and I decided to close it a week ago so only two got through. We're just like, honestly, this is an old topic it doesn't need to be rehashed. Okay. Gotta go be right back. Sorry. And then we can come back when I know if Daniel comes back. The next thing was, I was just pointing out there's seems to be higher than normal number of help request about James MPI I know Marcus dealt with a few and I've dealt with a few. I don't know what's changed I think it just happens to be this time of the year or something but it seems odd that we're getting a bunch of them all together. Maybe a blog post went out somewhere. Right. And I, I don't have an explanation for it either. I'm not overly surprised given random events. I assume it's, it will go. Apparently we don't have any involvement with it it's not in the Jenkins CI GitHub space is not published by anyone. You know, so honestly I'm just like, yeah, not our kind of not our problem. And I think that's a correct statement because it's published through the, the Python packaging system right. But it's also not in our repo. So we can't look we don't think there's no and it's very hard to find the actual source code for it because all the links don't really go the right places. I mean, at any point in the time I've, I've answered with, you should use configuration as code and they go, well we can't make changes and I'm like, by the way you should use configuration of the code they're like okay I tried to figure it as a code and it worked and solved this problem like, yeah, that's why I'm saying you should use configuration as code. Right. Yes. So, like I said, not really concerned just just kind of like one of those weird things that happened this week. I'm going to walk backwards, because we're waiting for Daniel but I did have another thought about the spring RCE. If we wanted to wait until later to talk about that. Let's do the next ones and then cycle back because Daniel might be back then. I'll list three more topics that didn't get a conclusion that we may want to push as the governance board to do. I don't know anything really concrete about the licensing and naming thing I honestly think it's fine for us to give them an A to use and you know Jenkins development for IntelliJ or whatever like that, but someone should officially reply and I don't really want it to be me. So, so this is one where I'm not sure how it how it works because it's this is not a company asking for a branding and naming thing. It's rather Dennis as a community community contributor has this IntelliJ plugin that helps people are doing development with stapler and stapler is a common Jenkins component mostly used in Jenkins. Yeah. The question then was hey what should it be renamed. It used to be called stapler framework support or is currently called stapler stapler framework support for IntelliJ. He was suggesting Jenkins development support. And I like Gavin your suggestion to follow the Linux Foundation guidelines ideas plugin for Jenkins development seems like it's using Linux foundation naming rules very nicely. I guess that IntelliJ has the same issue where they want their name to be last not first. Oh, right. My guess, you know, not not saying there's an actual published thing here but it's one of those things where both companies don't want to use their trademark as advertising. And this is not advertising this is just making a statement so I think we, it should be fine. But because the trademark is now entirely Linux foundation I don't know who can sign off on it and or if we care. Yeah, I'm not the expert. Oh, like you're smiling and I'm curious if you've got an opinion on this one. Well, for that I don't have an opinion, except the fact that it has been so this topic has been around for more than one year. So if Daniels is interested in working on this, let's just go ahead. And that's it. I believe you already reached consensus so that step that is not they used outside Jenkins and that we would like to rename it. I can pull the data but I was pretty sure that we had a consensus more than one year ago for it. We don't have to reach to the next foundation to say hey, we want to prove this or anything, or just go like cool, it's not a commercial thing we're good. Yeah, we are perfectly good. I mean, it's a part of the Jenkins project. We are eligible to use our trademark as we wish. Okay, I'm in the market you want if you're about to reply that good otherwise, I can try later today. Okay, I'm happy with you doing that then. So governance were discussed today and agreed that Jenkins development support. I would say as as it is a community project, Jenkins development support for intelligence is fine, or is approved. Good, okay. I would go with his suggestion though for an intelligent. Jenkins element for IntelliJ. I think that's what the topic says. Okay, let me see. Okay, sorry. Oh, just the Jenkins developers were fine. Yeah, sorry. Okay. So, as noted, or do you want me to open up the issue just for safety's sake let's open the issue. Okay, I got four minutes before I have to go so. Right, so I'm going to go ahead and say yes to that. So you're okay. Yep. Thanks. Got it. Okay. The next one is a prettier one, which I don't think there's any objections to it, though it sounds like some people are thinking my commenting about that I don't like prettier specifically, we're having objections to it. I just don't like the tool prettier. I'm cool with the whole setup and prettier as an answer. But either way, I think we should at one point just be like, yeah, sounds good. So it doesn't stay out because we have a lot of discussions to stay out really easily. Tim has requested a review from. Or last week, and I approved it. No one else did. We have a rule of two approvals are necessary. Okay. So today he requested a review from it from the core PR reviewers group. And that was just earlier today so no one has had a chance to respond to that yet. Okay, from my perspective all we need is a second approval to move forward with that. And then speaking of things that I'm afraid that might get lost is the Fort repository thing. I have some concerns about us having to do this again in the future because we haven't fixed the actual problem. But I'm totally in support and I think we should move ahead with fixing all the legacy plugins. Great. Yeah, so Daniel had a concern about something I wasn't following very closely, but from what I could tell that was the only blocker that was preventing us from moving forward. I don't remember what, I don't remember what the issue was. I also remember that. Oh, it was on the actual PR or actually on the help desk thing, not the email list. I think basically, if I remember Daniel's concern, there was very, we were going to do a bulk action on a large number of repositories and I think he just wanted to make sure that we had checked each one in the list. Let's see if that bulk action made sense before blindly. Basically, I think he was basically concerned about doing some sort of a dry run and checking the checking the list of actions before we go and apply it to everything. So you think there are at least one or two odd ball cases that we wanted to maybe skip the bulk action. I'm not misrepresenting, but I think that was, I don't think it was really a hard. It was more like, you know, let's just double check this before we because this is an irreversible change. Yeah, now that I'm seeing that I have to click on the help desk conversation I can see a lot of that discussion. It's not in the mail list. Yeah, so I think once, once we double check everything we should be good to go. All right. Anything else before we end we're hard stop on time. Any other topics. Thanks everybody. Recording should be available in roughly 24 hours we'll meet again in two weeks.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzLQlWo813Y", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCwlZZGmE1e_6PI2e-HOPOQw	Dr David Peterson (Dartmouth), "Progress in the analysis of Kuki-Chin morphosyntax"	This talk was given at the event "Recent Advances in Kuki-Chin Linguistics" held at SOAS, University of London on 10 December 2019. This event was part of the seminar series Asia Beyond Boundaries, sponsored by an ERC Synergy Grant. The handout accompanying this talk is available here-- David A. Peterson. (2020, January). Progress in the Analysis of Kuki-Chin Morphosyntax. Zenodo. http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3612149	[ "SOAS University of London" ]	2019-12-16T22:27:56	2024-02-05T06:13:22	2,228	vZYt8jrvWVM	What I have in mind is to briefly survey the progress that has been made since the mid-90s, which was when I first began working in Cukicin languages in our understanding of Cukicin or South Central Tibetan Burma for the domains of alignment typology. And then insofar as alignment typology doesn't impinge on the verbal complex, some other aspects of the verbal complex, so valence affecting phenomena, directionals, and what I've called verbal classifiers. And if I have enough time, I think I will also mention elaborate expressions, which is something we may already be too late for, unfortunately. So Cukicin or South Central includes the languages in one, and I won't belabor that since I think probably everybody here is familiar with the subgrouping that's given there. So I just include the languages so you can get some idea of the different parts of the group that I'm talking about. So moving straight to alignment typology. By the mid-90s there was, I believe, a widespread understanding of South Central languages as being ergative, at least with regards to case marking. And at that point, few verbal participant marking systems had been fully analyzed. So there's less certainty about how those systems tend to pattern. So two illustrates the example two at the bottom of page one illustrates core case marking in MISO. So 2A shows an intransitive subject goat, Kale, without any case marking. And if you compare at the top of page two, in handout 2B, you'll see that a goat in that sentence, or the goat in that sentence is marked by the suffix in. So it's a transitive subject there. The transitive object in 2B, grass, like the intransitive participant in 2A, is unmarked for case. So an ergative absolute pattern, essentially. And 3 and 4 show similar facts for Lai and Tedim, two other languages that we knew quite a bit about by that time. And so that was our impression of what Kuki-Chen languages were like in terms of case marking. In terms of verbal participant marking, we had been exposed to systems like the one in Lai, illustrated in 5, where the verbal participant marking is not ergative absolute in terms of its alignment. So Lai shows essentially nominative accusative marking in second and third persons, but neutral marking in first person. So if you compare the first singular forms for intransitive subjects, so S and A versus P, the object in transitive clauses, you have no distinction between the first person singular markers, at least in terms of form. They're placed slightly differently in the order of elements, which distinguishes them. But formally they're the same, first person the same thing. But you'll see there's a difference between A and S in the case of the second and third person markers and P. So essentially nominative accusative type alignment there. The MISO down at the very bottom, which we don't need to look at in detail, it's a little bit small and the handout had a different system, but still not too far from straightforward nominative accusative in certain respects. Certainly no hint of ergotivity or anything more unexpected. So Bedel, who amassed a body of treatments of several systems over the last couple of decades, reached, well, beginning in the 90s, reached I think his high point with Kho, which I extracted the forms from an article of his in number seven at one point. And if we won't examine them carefully, but if you look through them, you'll see that there's no indication that there is ergotivity in the marking there. It's essentially nominative accusative, although there are some syncretisms and other complications to the paradigm, but nothing out of the ordinary. But in Delancey's discussion of Mara, in the paper that touched off years of controversy in Tibetan and linguistics regarding the reconstructability of pronominal marking, still ongoing, he hinted at hierarchical marking in Mara, which nevertheless was at that point undergoing a restructuring, so not completely recognizable as a hierarchical marking, particular an inverse marking system. That was a hint of things to come. So in the present, 25 years later, certainly have seen a large number of other ergotive, absolute case marking systems described. So Dai, Kho, Helga Hartman's account of Lemmy, treats it as being essentially ergotive. Maybe there are some which have less clearly ergotive, absolute of systems. So a lot of the older sources for these languages don't indicate strict ergotive, absolute of case marking. But actually, Kho, I should mention, doesn't have strict ergotive, absolute of it. Like you see in Miso and Lai, it's got split ergotive marking with third person marked and second and first person unmarked in terms of over nominal elements. So other systems, maybe there's something that we could describe it as a gentive marker, but maybe it's not strictly speaking an ergotive marker. So maybe Shobana can comment about whether Lemkanya is like that or not. And I'm not sure about Monsang. But it would make sense that a lot of languages of Manipur might end up with more agent marking rather than ergotive marking due to contact with Matei. So that's one side of things where things have gotten a little bit less straightforward. At the same time, we've also got a number of examples of languages which have nominate of accusative, essentially case marking boringly in, for instance, Kumi. The elements that are underlined there are, those are tonally marked as locative. So the locative marker is extended to P participants in Kumi if they're sufficiently salient as they are in Senate 8. In 9, Rangmicha, like Kumi, also has extension of locative marking to P participants if they're sufficiently salient. And there's a segmental marking there. So this element you see in 9. In 9, it actually marks not only the matnit element, which is the P participant, the people who were floated off on the raft. It also, that example, which shows you just a straightforward instance of the nomarker as a locative marker. The no at the end of the sentence, you'd be tempted to call that a locative marker as well. But no actually is, in this case, a borrowing from Roo. Rangmicha marks sequentiality with other means, not the element. So in terms of participant marking, at the top of page 4, a number of systems have been recovered, which at least in part involve hierarchical, specifically inverse marking. So in 10 from Kanathram Wanglaar's treatment in the excellent volume from Himalayan Linguistics on Northeast Indian person indexation systems, you see that there is an M prefix, which occurs in the lower left-hand quadrant of the paradigm, where you have second persons and third persons acting on first persons and third persons acting on second persons and first persons. So just in the appropriate conditions to act as an inverse marker, reversing the default interpretation of person markers map to roles according to the hierarchy 1 over 2 over 3, which is apparently operative in the language. In Hyo, Zakaria has shown that you have a knee inverse marker, which makes in a number 11 a number of appearances, because in this language, first person is not ranked over second person, but first person and second person are ranked equally in the hierarchy. So whenever you get the knee marker, whenever second person is acting on first person, but you also get it when first person is acting on second person, and more confusingly, knee also, if I'm not mistaken, indicates plural in certain forms in this paradigm. So another knee, which is an offence with the inverse marker, also pops up in a number of places. More straightforwardly, in Lamkang, at least for the portion of the paradigm that's seen in number 12, T marks inverse under conditions which are comparable to those which were seen from Lonsang. So again, it's in the lower left hand quadrant, so this T prefix marking an inverse situation. So two related issues where considerable progress has been made in the last quarter decade include recognition of the prevalence of post-verbal participant marking paradigm remnants, if not pretty full paradigms. So particularly in the northwestern languages, formerly known as old kooky languages, and also in southeastern languages like Hyo, not illustrated in number 11, but Hyo has in the negative pretty robust representation of the what must be reconstructable post-verbal participant marking as Delancey has discussed. And there's also the prevalence of systems where the verbal complex is more fragmented in general with interspersed auxiliary or auxiliary-like elements rather than forming a coherent agglutinative piece. So I mean it may still form an agglutinative piece, but there are portions of it which are analyzable as in containing auxiliary elements. So that is indeed progress, I think, in terms of our understanding of the alignment of these languages. Turning to three, some other aspects of the verbal complex. From the discussions that were available for Lai Zou and Bom and Mizo, Tedim, Cezanne, by the mid-90s there were at least fragmentary discussions in older sources that were indicative of what might be there. By the mid-90s we realized there were morphological causatives and possibly benefactives for some of these languages. There may be as evidence in the discussion of Bom by Reichler for possibly also for Lai Zou of other types of applicative-like constructions. But what we know after 25 years is that there is a widespread suffix or causative sock, recognized long ago, but only four specific portions of the family, but it seems to be pretty widespread. So it's found in Dai, in Shaq. It's found in the productive causative shock in Hyo. It's marginally attested in Ring Mitra and less grammaticalized than I would expect it to be in Ring Mitra given its presence elsewhere in the family. Even in Lai it makes an appearance in a few lexicalized verbs. In Lai Zou it actually turns up as a benefactive marker rather than a causative, but that also makes sense. Probably older is a P or M prefix of causative, also widely attested, found in Dai, Kumi, Ring Mitra, Sorbonne, Lamkang. I forgot to check, but I think it's also found in Pankwa. So Thirteen gives an example from Ring Mitra of this prefix. It gives the prefixed causative blot and then it also gives an instance of that verb without the prefix in an intransitive sense. So that's that one. At the top of page six there's also, of course, initial voiceless stop aspiration in Sonoran devoicing that's widely attributed to an S causative prefix seen elsewhere in Tibet or Burma. This also has a fairly broad distribution, so in Central Chin and also in Southeastern in Hyo. It's very robust in Hyo as Shrombo Zakaria. And finally there are various more sporadic developments like the causative der in Lai, which I think is also tir in Mizo. And then there's a southwestern element, Hy, which I'll talk about in a second. So regarding applicatives in 1998, I wrote about the remarkable family of applicatives that's seen in Hakka Lai, of which I'll draw special attention to the benefactive, null effective applicative in 14a, which like as far as I know almost all benefactive, null effective applicatives comes from the verb to give. The committative in 14c marked by b, the relinquitive in 14f, dak, and the instrumental in 14g marked by nak. And I draw attention to these because these are I think the most widely attested. They have the widest distribution in South Central. So for instance, in 15 at the top of page 7, all of these show up in Dai. So there's a benefactive, null effective marker based on the verb to give. There is a relinquitive element identical to Lai's. The committative has bui, which must be the predecessor to Lai's b. It's a regular development of the ui, rhyme, in Lai, and an instrumental marked by nak. Hyo exhibits most of these as well, seen in 16, so three of the four at least. And ring mitcha and kumi on the other hand show somewhat more impoverished system with only a b, a benefactive, null effective applicative attested in ring mitcha as shown in 17. I neglected, I'm sorry, to include an example of the kumi marker, but it's marked with b, virtually identical to ring mitcha's in its behavior. And there is also in these two languages an element high, which I can talk about the grammaticalization source for that later if you ask me about it. But it marks instrumentals and committatives in ring mitcha as in example 18, but in kumi it has a greater functionality. It marks kumi's productive causative construction, or it can also mark various types of applicative construction, including instrumental applicatives and goal applicatives exemplified in 19 for the causative and 20 and 21 for the applicative constructions. So another valence affecting construction type, which we knew would be important probably by the late 90s, was the middle, but we're only now becoming more aware of constructions of this sort. And I think we'll hear more about them at least in one language this afternoon. So I think we'll hear about them here. I'm not sure what we'll hear about in sumtu, whether it's a middle there or not. But the middles are important for one thing, because there is this outlier middle marker that occurs in southeastern languages, but also they're interesting because of their potential relation to things which are involved in the inverse systems. So potential relationships of inverse marking and other middle-like phenomena draws the inverse marking that we see into the possible light in the context of middles. A further aspect of the verbal complex worth considering is directional elements with the top of page eight. So by the mid 90s, attested descriptions of directional marking involved predominantly prefixel systems. So the descriptions we've already discussed for central languages like mezzo, bum, and lyzo. And the LSI had little tidbits of information from lots of languages, most of it in the prefixel elements. Hartman's 1989 treatment of die directionals was the exception. There were hints that there might be more elements occurring after the verb as well. So skipping over 22 for a second and going to directionals now, we have an update on So Hartman 1989 in the form of Helga So Hartman's dissertation from SOAS on die, which turned into her grammar of die, where she notes important distinctions in directionals depending on the motion or lack thereof of the agent involved. So that's brought in as a parameter besides some of the other parameters which are detected widespread. So in 2014, I surveyed available materials and made the observations on directionals in 22 that the prefixel elements listed there are widespread, but then there are also some preverbal or prefixel elements found, sorry, there are also some suffix or postverbal elements found in southeastern and southwestern languages, and I said that maybe there are some exclusively postverbal suffix or languages, but I don't think that's the case because all languages that have suffix or ones have something preverbal at least, so they both occur. So we since the 90s also have papers by Chellion Ut on Lamkan, paper by Van Beek and Flangnet, more fully treating the elements in Lai, so these are preverbal systems which have a lot of similarities to other systems that have been described. Zakaria's description of Hyo's directionals include two elements unless I've missed one, so the preverbal element which resembles an andative and a postverbal one which also resembles kind of an andative, an al element that Zakaria calls a departative. So not a very extensive system compared to other languages like Dai in the southeast, in the southwest. The systems are not generally that rich, but Ringmicha appears to have a fairly rich system in part because it borrows some elements from Mu, so alongside elements which are native Kugichen elements, it uses an element Jam which is an andative, it uses Dkut or Kut which is an element that means back or again which also is apparently from Mu, but it also has elements of its own that I've worked on recently, including a number of things that are andative that I list in 23, and the examples I give on the handout don't illustrate all of these, so Hu actually it turns out is the most neutral of these andatives. I'll talk about Kui in a second and I haven't got an example of Bai here, but I actually understand how Bai is different from the others so I can tell you about that if you would like me to later. So Ringmicha and Kumi both have venitives which presumably reflect the archaic venitive which I said probably, well I'm not the only person who said it, so Delancey probably said it forms something similar to Hval and G or Ang, so usually it's only an ng prefix in Ringmicha as in 24, in Kumi it has a larger form ang as in 25. Ringmicha also has what I've determined to be at the top of page 9 a distributed or maybe I should call it a distributive andative, distributive andative, sounds strange, so distributed andative is what I've settled on, so it indicates motion away from a dyctic center plus action performed in various places or in order to perform action in various places, like you see in example 26, so this Kui element in Ringmicha is actually cognate with a perfective marker Vui in Kumi and I'm still assessing the extent to which it retains any residual distributive semantics in Kumi, I haven't detected it before, so I'm trying to recheck it but I don't think that it does. Ringmicha and Kumi also have apparently unrelated upwards motion directionals which are post-verbal seen in 27 and 28, so Kang in Ringmicha and Kalaw in Kumi. Also post-verbal are Ringmicha and Kumi's downwards directionals which actually are cognate seen in 29 and 30, so probably you can tell that Tuk in Ringmicha is feasibly cognate with Khatiu, so there must have been a prefix on this element that Ringmicha has lost but the Io Ring in Kumi reflects an oak Ring in Ringmicha or in their predecessor. So I'll also note Conrith's work on the relationship between venitives and syslocatives or venitives or syslocatives as she refers to them and participant marking which I believe has a wider distribution than just in northeast where she notes that it occurs, so development of second person marking out of a venitive or syslocative marker, so similar sorts of things I think are going on in Kumi with their venitive maybe also in Ringmicha although it's not clear. So there's still more work to be done in terms of directionals but we're obtaining I believe a critical mass of information in this area as well and just like I think we have for valence effecting instructions. So it's turned to a couple of areas which have maybe not had as much progress in them, so what I refer to as verbal classifiers in South Central. So Henderson had this notion of chiming, so these were adverbial elements which occurred in postverbal position and had a form I guess approximating something like ding dong or cling clang, hence the name chiming. I'm otherwise not really sure where the word chiming came from unless it was a translation from tedium or a translation from Burmese, I don't know. Ryan and chime, it comes from the descriptions of Burmese adverbs and keeps et al and you were a Ryan with a t, so who is that short but someone who's short then comes from probably from that, someone doing it. Oh okay, yeah so anyway, Bhaskar Rao had told us more about tedium chiming by the mid-90s and Patent relabeled these chimes. Idiophones as demonstrated by my favorite example of these in number 31, so in 31a the element watma occurs and evokes the image of a large or rotund baby, I guess fat baby. Yatma on the other hand creates the image of a baby which is small or thin and there's a typo in that so it shouldn't be in a nakta, it should be nakta with an h rather than n in 31b. There's also a typo in the clause for elephant in 32 which I'll turn to next. So 32 and 33 show you the related phenomenon in kumi where the elements in question focus mostly on the size of the referent that's involved so there isn't a so there are somatic nuances that often co-occur with these elements and they may involve some element of visual imagery or other kind of imagery like they do in tedium and lie but the the sense of largeness or smallness is really the central element of meaning in the mid would seem so for instance in 32 the element ga refers to a relatively large king's daughter as opposed to the element ke in 33 which refers to the smallness of the child that's involved here and in both of these instances the ka or ke element also includes the information that whatever verbing occurred it verbed the relevant referent to death so the king's daughter dies in 32 due to being stepped on by the the elephant and in 33 it's this spirit that I refer to as an ogre in other work which captures his son and beats him to death and then eats him and plants his head atop the the granary spoke or stick or whatever I guess it is so anyway um rake mitchell also has a verbal classifier kat kat which is actually identical to this ka ke one in in kumi so again in 34 comments on the large size of the sister and that she is well bop is the neutral word to mean to kill I'm sorry she's killed to death I guess it's a little bit superfluous but the the element of to death is still there in this one as well um but not all of these elements have lots of rich additional semantics other than size so hoop loop and hoop loop can refer to both the motion of a dove or an elephant but hoop loop is a small or diminutive verbal classifier in reference to a dove in 35 a but hoop loop is in reference to an elephant in 35 b so a large or an augmentative verbal classifier there so there's a curve also in mitchell and where they're tested as I've already said size seems to be the most central sense that they have either literally or metaphorically so it can sometimes refer to relative extent of some quality if the predicate refers to a quality rather than a more active event so they may appear in non-reduplicated form in kumi and during mitzha at least I'm pretty sure also in ru so they don't really have a chime form to them they also don't have a change in the vowel in almost all cases there may be a couple of exceptions to that in kumi that I can think of and again they often do although their central notion is size bear some idiosyncratic somatic nuances or can be associated with particular imagery resembling idiophones and this latter observation is important for our development of lexical resources because where these occur it's really important that you actually check for every verb what which of these can occur with the verb and what effect do they have and I haven't I must have been done that yet for either of these languages and a daunting task that hopefully native speakers will help us with however since I made these observations about chiming and verbal classifiers a decade ago not much has been shown about their use elsewhere in kuki chin and I'm worried that their their use may be waning if it wasn't already waning by the time I made the observations that I've made about kumi and I know I'm running probably pretty short on time but just briefly on elaborate expressions I think this also holds for elaborate expressions illustrated in 3b with the very first elaborate expression in kumi I encountered in the wild where a tiger is searching for a girl who's hiding from him so structures there involve an elaborate elaboration element and so dung and long are enough to mean water gourd or pot and they've got this default reduplicative templatic elaboration of them not all elaborations are reduplicative that's just the kind of default and this has very similar sorts of effects to what you see for elaborate expressions elsewhere in Southeast Asia in terms of making the discourse or the utterance sound nice and also in terms of some other things that I've suggested correlate with the use of these ring which also has elaborate expressions so for instance bang dong in number 37 appears to be an elaboration for shoulder so I can't for the life of me get consultants to tell me that it means anything and the after long discussions have decided it must be what I've what I'm calling elaborations so there are also aspects to this example which make it fit in with other kinds of elaboration that I can tell you about if you ask me about it so the ring which and other languages in the area like more also exhibit elaborations elaborate expressions not as robustly as kumi does but nevertheless relatively frequently so and it's as I've alluded to unclear how widespread or robust this phenomenon is so little description of it has been forthcoming since I worked on this about 10 years ago and nevertheless again the unpredictability of elaborate expression formation is potentially significant for the development of lexical resources because ideally for anything that can have an elaborate expression you would have a recording of what the elaborate expression was at least so let me just conclude briefly by observing the obvious the progress that's made in the analysis of kukuchen morphosyntax over the last 10 years it was everything to people getting out and expanding the corpus of data for kukuchen languages so something that we are all participating in and can be proud of but there's clearly much more to do and I hope to have demonstrated some areas where I think we're doing a pretty good job and pointed to a few other places where we might dig a bit deeper so thank you very much David	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZYt8jrvWVM",

Yaron shares about his own relationship and the momentous happiness that stems from forming a lasting bond. 00:00 Intro 01:15 Valentine's Day 05:06 Superbowl 07:36 Present vs Past Attitude Towards Romance 25:54 Examples of Romantic Art Live Questions: 50:13 The opening music for anime is often about Love,but from the angle ofVirtue andValuing the other person,being stronger to keep them safe,being supportive.Not love from the angle of Lust.I find it very inspiring 52:27 Do you know supposedly Romeo and Julliet was based on the old Greek story Pyramus and Thesbe? 53:21 "The Tiger and The Snow" 2005 film by Roberto Benigni 54:00 My favorite modern painters are Sylvia Bokor and Bryan Larsen. "Kicking up her heels" and "Tomorrow Today" (Bokor) and The Ascent of Man (Larsen) are my favorites. I love Kipling's poetry, and "In Memoriam" by Tennyson 54:29 Also, great K dramas that convey a positive vision of love (besides Mr. Sunshine) are Start Up, 25-21, and Itaewon Class (I think you should give them another shot). They show the importance of shared values in love 55:00 The question from this morning " I'd love to hear you talk about how love is portrayed in contemporary art, but maybe that's a question for tonight. but I'll be working." 58:23 I think sexy and benevolent can and should go together, but today we rarely see that portrayed. 59:15 Lucia di Lamermoor is a tribal tragedy with gorgeous music. (It’s an opera.) 59:39 “Gurenge” by Amalee, about reaching a higher potential, to keep the loved one safe.

They're Aristotelian artists. It might be worth checking out for Objectivists 1:03:05 My favourite romantic author is Maeve Binchy. 1:03:54 My favorite living composer is Alma Deutscher. I love her piano concerto especially, which she premiered in 2017 when she was 12. The World Premier of her new opera in Salzburg will take place on March 4. She will soon be 18. 1:09:21 How much of people's failures today are due to there own laziness and lack of willingness to get out of there comfort zone? Or are most people hard workers and gov't regulations have destroyed their opportunities for any success? How can this be measured objectively? 1:13:51 "Full nakedness! All joys are due to thee, As souls unbodied, bodies uncloth’d must be" - John Donne, To His Mistress Going to Bed 1:14:46 Off topic. Any plans to read Malice’s new book?

This is The Iran Book Show. Hi, everybody. Welcome to Iran Book Show on this Valentine's Day. All right, so I'm a little distracted. I'm way behind today. I apologize. I'm trying to get this final thing done. Yes, got it. All right, thank you. Hopefully, everybody's having a fantastic day. It's Tuesday. It's Valentine's Day. So I have to explain why I'm not out with my wife on Valentine's Day, because I shouldn't be doing a show on Valentine's Day. I should be out and about and celebrating with my wife. Anyway, the reality is that our wedding anniversary is in two days, three days. So we usually celebrate the wedding anniversary not so much Valentine's Day. But in addition, we're kind of celebrating the whole week this year. Yesterday, we had a Valentine's Day dinner at one of our favorite restaurants here. Tomorrow, we're having a Valentine's dinner at another restaurant. This one's kind of a special place where it only seats 12 people, and the chef makes the food in front of you. And the whole dinner is based on chocolate. The whole dinner is based on the chocolate bean. And every dish is going to have some chocolate in it. And we're really looking forward to that. It should be super interesting and a lot of fun. And the chef explains what he's doing and how he's doing it. So it's very intimate and really nice. And then Friday is our wedding anniversary, and we're having dinner at another one of our favorite restaurants in Puerto Rico, really in the world, really. So we're doing this whole week. And the reality is, Tuesday, Thursday, and the two days where I have the show, we've left open. But don't worry. I'm not neglecting my wife on Valentine's Day. I've just turned it into a whole week. We've just turned it into a whole week celebration. And doing it. Ian says, going out on Valentine's Day is for suckers. Just wait a few extra days and go out for a nice dinner for less dollars and probably better quality. I don't know. I mean, a lot of the best chefs out there making special Valentine's dinners, they're creating special Valentine's menus, I think they put a lot of thought and effort into it. It's, you know, in general, it's romantic. It's a date to celebrate romance. You know, it's about as, it's the same as a birthday. You know, every day is an important day to celebrate your love of your life and your existence. But birthday is a day where you stop to actually dedicate some time to actually celebrate it. So, you know, Valentine's Day is a nice day to spend celebrating your love and assuming you have somebody. And it's important to, if you don't, then it's important to think about getting somebody, finding somebody, pursuing somebody. And anyway, so that's why we're doing the show today. I figure if we do a show on Valentine's Day, we should talk about love, romance. And then I got a question in the super chat earlier today about, I can't remember what the question was now. Can somebody remember the question, what it was? But anyway, he's not here. He's working. He's a chef, probably doing a special Valentine's Day menu tonight in New York. But I can't remember what the question was, but something about love and art. So figure why not talk about love and art and, you know, broadly and particularly maybe the contrast between love and art today and love and art in the past. And yeah, that reminded me in a kind of an ugly way of the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl, what does love and art have to do with the Super Bowl you might legitimately ask? I wonder if any of you figured that one out. I don't know. How many of you saw the halftime show of the Super Bowl? It was so, god, what's the right word even to describe it? I found it dull, but offensive and just ridiculous and anti-sexual and anti-romantic and vulgar. But it was more than bad. It was vulgar and very modern in its attitude towards particularly sex. I mean, she's grabbing a crotch. She's grabbing a butt, I guess. There's a whole song, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt. And they're all shaking their butts. I mean, animalistic, sexual, animalistic. It's cheap and it just, and this is the Super Bowl. This is supposed to be, you know, one of my business partners was saying that his kids were watching a Super Bowl and they really wanted to watch the halftime show. And they were asking who this Rihanna is. And then they watched it. And they were impressed and asked him were they impressed with the butt. So were they impressed with the exact? And he said, no, they didn't see that. If they'd seen that, you know, they didn't notice that. But why is that the image of, I don't know, sexuality, of femininity, of women, of sex, of what is it supposed to convey? It was just, and the clothes that they were wearing, remember this is Arizona, and they're wearing these winter coats that just bizarre and that eliminate the figure, eliminate the female figure. So there is no figure, you eliminate the male figure. You know, because males and females, they're all dressed the same. She was obviously pregnant, but, and the way they dance today is just so vulgar. And again, there's a certain animalism to the portrayal of sex. I mean, it was, you know, I think, and then if you think about the lyrics of so many songs today, particularly rap and, you know, and, but a lot of modern music, it's vulgar, it's explicit, it treats sex as trivial, as animalistic, love, romance, don't exist. It's all about just the sex. And, but sex means nothing. And it's all about, I mean, the way women are treated in it, it's, it's, what's his name? It retates a version of the way, the way to treat women. It's just, it's just so vulgar and primitive and backward. And if you think about, you think about songs of love, I mean, even going back to, to the 60s and 70s, that, you know, I know the Beatles song about love, they're, oh, they're happy, they're, they're pleasant, they're, they're, they're excited, they're, and there's no vulgarity there. It's just, it's just this amazing thing, love. And it's, it's, it's fun, right? It's fun. And then, you know, throughout, throughout the 60s and 70s and even the 80s, there was, there was music that one could define as, as, you know, it's not the deepest, not the most meaningful music, but it had a positive view of love, a positive view of romance, a positive view of relationships. It wasn't all about sex and, and, and vulgarity and treating women like, like dirt. Or if you go back even further, if you go back to, I don't know, think Sinatra, go back to the songs of, of Coporta, listen to Ella Fitzgerald singing some of Coporta's songs. Think of, you know, Jennifer mentions Fetistan Ginger-Rajah's dancing and dancing, you know, in a romantic way. And I'm not even talking about ballet as dancing, right? In contrast to what we saw in the Super Bowl. But, but we live in a world and, and I think the Super Bowl and I think the Super Bowl porn and rap kind of represent kind of the attitude, I think, of the world towards sex and romance and love, really. And that is an attitude of cynicism, skepticism. Love is just, just a word. It doesn't mean anything. It's, it's, it's just animalistic. You know, I think ultimately that is what kind of an evolutionary psychologist would tell us. It's not that meaningful. Don't get too excited about it. It's just a way to bond so that ultimately we can procreate. It's just a way to get, to get together and women wanting more than men because men can go and procreate with anybody. Women need detachment because they're, anyway, there's a whole, there's a whole kind of deterministic evolutionary psychological explanation for sex and love. And, and by making it about that, it turns human beings into just another animal. And, and we're not just another animal. Because we have free will and because we have reason, we're not just another animal. We have values. We pursue values. We identify values. And to quote Iron Man, to love is to value. To love is to value at the highest level, right? And in that sense, you need reason and you need to engage that reason. You need free will and you need to be selfish and you need to be rational to be able to love. But love is to value. To love is to value at the highest level. To love is to value another person as representing a sum of your values. So it's, when you reduce man to a deterministic, you know, deterministic animal, no different than any other man. Or just guided by instincts. Guided by whatever we feel is just there to serve some quote evolutionary purpose. It has no meaning. We don't choose it. We don't adapt it. We don't change it. It's just there. It's just part of our being. And if everybody's capable of it, that is gonna create cynicism about love, skepticism about love, about relationships. It's all about just finding a mate. It's all about just having sex. It's all about just procreating. And if you establish families, the purpose of families to procreate because that's a purpose evolution has us. I mean, you just turn us into automatons. And I think porn really kind of creates the impression that love is mechanistic and lacks any kind of spiritual aspect to it. I think that the kind of music we listen to and the whole rap and hip hop obsession with sex and the motion of love is part of that, is an expression of that. And as is, and I think it also, if you add that up to, you know, now three, two, three, four generations of Americans in particular, growing up with a lot of divorce, a lot of love being temporary and, you know, people declaring love and then it turning sour and turning bad, all of that adds to cynicism. People are just cynical. So you don't get great romances in our movies. You don't get beautiful romantic songs. Frank mentions on top of corpore, you know, you get Isaiah Berlin, Steinhand, Gushwin and others. I mean, writing beautiful love songs. And a longing for love and a longing for a romantic partner and a recognition of the value of having somebody to long for. I mean, most opera is about love and about the power of love. You know, Aida, I spoke about Aida a while ago because I saw it, where did we see Aida? We saw it in Madrid and I did it on my show afterwards and I talked about it's, you know, the whole Aida is love versus, you know, love versus patriotism, which is, by the way, the same theme fundamentally as Mr. Sunshine. And the thing that makes Mr. Sunshine so extraordinary, so, the reason I love it so much and the reason I have to step back and say, whoa, is this being produced in the same century in the same universe as I live in because nobody does this, right? Is, don't worry, I will get to positive. And here, Mr. Sunshine, is there's no cynicism. There's no doubting love. There's no doubting the power of love. And again, Mr. Sunshine is about the conflict of love versus patriotism, most operas are love versus family, you know, parents, siblings, you know, La Traviata, if you know the story of La Traviata, they fall in love, but it's bad for his sister if he marries this woman who has a disrepute. So they break up the relationship because, you know, so it's love versus, but in all, in the 19th century, the 19th century is called the romantic century. This is the era of romantic art. This is an era where love is elevated above all else. Love is the ultimate pursuit of value. And love is being challenged during the period by family, by convention, by patriotism, by what do you call it, the class system. All of these are challenges. And in everywhere, you know, love in a sense is struggling and fighting back. And love is, of course, a theme of literature going back to, well, me and Juliet were Shakespeare and I just saw, my wife and I just saw on Friday as part of our Valentine's Day wedding anniversary celebration, right? We went to see West Side Story in a production here in Puerto Rico, which was really nice. And West Side Story is, in a sense, a remake of Romeo and Juliet, but, you know, love versus tribalism. That's what West Side Story is about. Love versus tribalism. And unfortunately, a lot of those love stories are tragedies because, particularly in the 19th century, because, you know, if you look at the 19th century, love was just being born in a sense. Romantic love as a concept was just being born. Romantic love had many challenges that it was facing. And, you know, it often lost because so much was up against it. But it was elevated to this unbelievable position. So we need to really, in a culture in which we live today, we need to recognize and reject the determinism, the animalism, the cynicism with which a culture takes love. And in that sense, we need to reject the music, most of the stuff in the movies, most of our TV shows. And this is why I so encourage people to watch Mr. Sunshine, because Mr. Sunshine is a real revelation when it comes to art presenting a love story without any cynicism. You know, love is an achievement. It's not, you can't just take it for granted, it doesn't exist out there. One of the reasons, I think, that there's so many divorces is because many people conflate, particularly when they're young, conflate passion and desire and with real romantic love. And then they rush to get married and then discover they don't really like each other and then it doesn't work out too well. I mean, Rand talks about love as this, you know, here's a quote, right? Romantic love in the fourth sense of the term is an emotion possible only to a man or woman of unbreed self-esteem. It is his response to his own highest values in the person of another. An integrated response of mind and body, of love and sexual desire. So sexual desire is not divorced from this, it's a response to values. And yet we live in a world in which sexual desire is what the hell, all the time, every way and to everyone and love, yeah, what's that? So love is an incredible positive value. It's something that we pursued seriously. And, you know, art that expresses love is rare and beautiful. And again, opera, one of the things I love about opera is how romantic it is. I mean, there were real problems with Wagner's, Tristan and his older, it's too long. But the final movement, which is way too long, is a, basically a love song, it is the dying and it's again, it's a Roman Julia type story. But the music is so beautiful and so romantic and so expressive of love as exaltation. Love is the highest of values. And you see that in all the operas, right, with beautiful music and music that is elevating of love that raises it up, puts it on a pedestal, doesn't treat it as a grubby thing on the ground here. And I think the more you immerse yourself in the spirit of the 19th century, in the drama of romanticism, in the love of love that the romantics had that the 19th century had, the more you'll appreciate what it is. Art is really important for having a complete appreciation of the concept of the idea and the 19th century, the 19th century, they nailed it. They had it down. I'll show you some examples in painting and sculpture, but poetry, I mean, you can go back and love poems. There was actually a story today I saw by Arthur Brooks, who's a guy I don't particularly like, is a, used to run the American Enterprise Institute, but kind of a very Catholic, quite religious, very conservative, but pro-capitalism to the extent that he understands what it is and but he can't defend it. But he actually had a good story today in the paper. He has a column, I think, in Atlantic. It was all about we should get back to the old tradition of reading to one another love poetry on Valentine's Day. And while I've never done that, that sounds really beautiful and that's the kind of approach that I think is right. There is beautiful, beautiful poetry that is about love and expresses love that is gorgeous and we should embrace that. Now, I have a favorite love poem. I don't know if you guys have. So one of the things I'd like, and this would be great, one of the things I'd like from you is I'd love from you, like give me examples of, you could do this in the chat, it would be better if you could do it because then I see it easier, like do it for $2 on a super chat or something. I'd like to know your favorites. Favorite love song. Favorite romantic movie. Favorite romantic love poem. Favorite romantic painting, sculpture that expresses love. So I think this would be a lot more fun if you guys also expressed, but I want your favorites. I want what you really love, what really gets you, but in the category of love, romance, things like that. And post your favorites, put them up on the super chat. I'll give you a little bit of time or if you don't want to use the super chat, you don't want to spend the money, then feel free to just put it in the chat. I'll try to pick it out off of the chat. Yeah, sick video from Wagner. I mean, Wagner was so good at expressing strong, powerful, almost overwhelming emotions. I mean, it's what makes his music so amazing. Yeah, so what's that? There's an opera by Gounod that has a beautiful love scene in it. I think it's Romy and Juliet by Gounod is also, it's just a beautiful, we saw it years ago at the LA Opera and the singers actually make love on stage, on a bed and supposedly naked, but it's just a beautiful music and Gounod is a French 19th century opera composer. And actually, the male and the female sing on stage, I think at the time where dating and later got married or they were already married. And it was so romantic, it's so beautiful and so moving. But again, the music is expressing love and sex as these elevated values. The exact opposite of again, the andrutate. I mean, I'm shocked at how many people still think, how many people in the comments were defending andrutate? I mean, that whole attitude of love, sex as porn. That's it. All right, we've got a few of these. I'm gonna go over them later, but yeah. Add to these, Linda has won, Jennifer has won. I think Finn Hopper mentioned something earlier. You know, Alper Campbell, thank you for the $100 and we'll get to that after. I'll try to do, you know, related to the topic questions and stuff first. But yeah, send in, again, you can send it for $2 and that'll highlight it. Anyway, my favorite, I don't know what your favorite love poem is. If you have a favorite love poem. But my favorite is Annabelle by Edgar Allan Poe. Now, it is like most of Allan Poe's poetry. It is very morbid because it's a love song to a loved one that is dead, that is passed away. But I think it's beautiful. It really is gorgeous. I don't know if I should read it to you. I don't know how many of you know Edgar Allan Poe, Annabelle in particular. But, you know, look it up. Look it up. Shakespeare's Sonnets. You know, there's a lot of good love poems. My favorite is Annabelle. All right, I'm gonna read it to you. You know, hopefully we don't lose too many viewers as a consequence. I think I've read this to my wife. When we first started dealing a long, long time ago. Mahler's Symphony number one and two, Love and Romance. I don't get that from Mahler. I mean, there are sections of Mahler, but usually it's tainted with sadness. Usually it's tainted with sadness. All right, this is Annabelle. Let's see if I can do this. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea that a maiden there lived whom you may know by the name of Annabelle. And this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child in this kingdom by the sea. But we loved with a love that was more than love. I and my Annabelle with a love that the wings surfaced of heaven laughed loud at her and me. And this was the reason that long ago in this kingdom by the sea, a wind blew out of a cloud chilling my beautiful Annabelle so that a high born Kingsman came and bore her away from me to shut her up in the specter in this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in heaven went laughing at her and me. Yes, that was the reason as all men know in this kingdom by the sea that the wind came out and the cloud by night chilling and killing my Annabelle. But our love, it was stronger by far than the love of those who are older than we, of many far wiser than we and neither the laughter in heaven above nor the demons down under the sea can ever dis-ever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabelle. For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabelle and the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes of the beautiful Annabelle and the stars and so all the night tied I lie down by the side of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride in her specter there by the sea in her tomb by the sounding sea. So I don't know, that in me is, wow. I mean, that's beautiful. My life and my bride, my darling, my life and my bride, I mean, it doesn't get much more beautiful than that. That is great art reflecting love. And think about the great romantic movies, I don't know, Casablanca, you know, we all, again, love versus, love versus. And it's interesting that in almost all the movies of love versus, the versus wins, not the love, which is unfortunate. But, you know, to have a have not or so many of those old movies that had this amazing, amazing plots of a man and a woman, heroic men and women, men and women who have values, means something, you know, signify something, falling in love and fighting for that love and pursuing that love and not giving, you know, not surrendering that love. And, you know, that is what love means. I mean, when you find it, you have to fight for it and you have to maintain it because it's so rare. It's so rare in life and it's so important in life. Let's see, here's again, Ayn Rand. Man is an Indian himself, romantic love, the profound, exalted, lifelong passion that unites his mind and body in the sexual act is the living testimony to that principle. Again, think about this idea of the profound, exalted, lifelong passion that unites his mind and body in the sexual act and think about how people view the sexual act in the culture in which we live today. All right, I see a lot of suggestions here, some of which I am not familiar with. So, cool, I'm gonna get some movie recommendations out of this and add to my list of movies. So, thank you to all of you, but keep it coming, poems, songs, music, it could be popular music, it could be opera, movies, paintings, sculptures. I'm gonna show you a few of my favorite, I've got one painting and then a few of my favorite sculptures that have this kind of theme to it. You'll only be able to get a sense from these photos because it's a photo of, other than the painting, but a photo of the three-dimensional sculpture. I'll tell you a little bit about what I know about them, I don't know that much about all of them, one of them I don't know much at all, but it is, I think they're all beautiful, they're all interesting, so I hope you like them and they all kind of focus around this theme of romantic love, of what I think is romantic love. This is a painting, I just took this photo, I mean, I've known this painting for a long time and some of you might know it, but this is a painting I took the photo in Milan recently, so hopefully you can see that. It's by Francisco Hayez, H-A-Y-E-Z, H-A-Y-E-Z. He's got a lot of fantastic painting, he's one of my favorites, I mean, this is a truly magnificent painting, it's beautiful. I mean, look at the sheen on the dress, look at the light bouncing off that dress, look how beautiful and lifelike and yet at the same time stylized that is. Look at the contrast between that dress and even him and the kind of nakedness of the wall behind it, behind her. I mean, it could be Robin Hood, it could be a lot of things, but, and look at, I wonder if I can do this. Let's see, can I, yeah, I think there is a way to do this. All right, I'm gonna enlarge, all right, do you guys can see that? I'm moving it around and we're gonna enlarge it even further. Okay, look at that, look at the actual, look at the kiss, look at his hand on her cheek. Look at that, how gently it is placed, how beautifully that is painted so that the hand just rests on her shoulder and cheek. She is embracing him. I mean, you don't see obviously expressions here, you know, the hair, the sheen again on the dress, all in the stark background that only enhances just how gorgeous and how sensual, how private this moment is. It's almost like, all right, I turned the corner, I saw it, I should look away, but it really is, I think a stunning painting and a beautiful painting. Whoops, I don't know. Okay, we'll have to see if I can get it back to where I wanted to be so we can show all the other stuff. All right, I think that's good. Maybe enlarge it a little bit. All right, there we go. Yeah, so that's a painting, 19th century again, everything I show you is gonna be 19th century. That is the period of romance. It's a period where romance comes out into the open. It's not anymore hidden away. There are novels and poems and paintings and sculpture and there's an explicit recognition of human emotions and of the value of personal emotions because this is a period of liberty and freedom and individualism and individuation. The 19th century is the century of romance. It's a century where, in that sense, the greatest century ever in the sense that it is a full recognition of what it means to be human. It embraces the whole ideas of the enlightenment of reason and everything and then in art, it just flourishes and manifests itself in all of the human potential, in all of what human beings are capable of doing, right? So you get paintings like this. This is Italy, late 19th century. Hayes did a lot of paintings. You can find his work in Primalian Milan. So this is Northern Italy and a number of museums in Milan. I think there's, if I remember right, there's a museum just dedicated to him in one of the museums, right? Let's see, let's move to a sculpture. This is, I think this is a beautiful sculpture. It's, I've never seen it live, but next time, I'm in the area, I will go see it live. It's in Northern Italy. It's in a city in Northern Italy. This is an Italian sculptor of, again, the 19th century. Where else could it be? And it is a, what do you call it, an monument, that this is a sculpture depicting his mourning over her passing away. So she here is kind of rising to heaven, if you will. He is holding on to her, holding on to his love, holding on to his memory of her, holding on to what she is and what she means to him. I mean, I think this expresses at all the passion, the intense, intense passion of both of them. You know, I think it really is a beautiful, his mourning, his bearing, his face, and her trying to hold her with him as she is escaping from his grip, but rising kind of in exaltation. There's no suffering here other than him mourning the fact that he has lost her, but I think this is beautiful. So it's actually in a cemetery in Northern Italy. This is actually, this is Pygmalion. So this is the sculptor who has sculpted the sculpture and she has come alive and they are kissing. There's a famous painting by Jerome of this subject matter. This is a sculpture by Jerome, 19th century French painter primarily, but also sculptor, and the sculptor's just finished carving her and this is the legend of Pygmalion and she comes alive, you know, he falls in love with her as a sculpture and she comes alive and they kiss. This is actually in, oh God. Of course, it would escape my memory. It's in, sorry, it's in the Hearst Castle. It's a Jerome sculpture. It's in the Hearst Castle between Southern Northern California. It's in a castle on the hill. Most of the stuff in the castle is, you know, not that worthwhile. There's a few sculptures that are very good. This is this sculpture, I think the only copy of this made by Jerome, one of the greatest painters of the 19th century, is just stuck in a corner of the Hearst Castle. It's, you know, it's not even really on the path which tourist takes. It's like stuck in a corner. People don't value it. People don't value the art. They don't value this kind of stuff. Yeah, in San Simone in California at the Hearst Castle and what's stunning is that nobody pays attention to this. This is the world in which we live. Sculpture like this is just not, is just not, not there. Not, this is a sculpture by a Norwegian slash Danish sculpture, Sculptor by the name of Syndin, Stefan Synding, S-I-N-D-I-N-G. And you'll see another sculpture of his in a minute. I just find this beautiful. I mean, look at the look that they're having between each other. They embrace the look. I mean, this is sculpture. So we don't, we're not getting the full three-dimensional effect but the way he's holding her, the way she's, but mainly this is about the look between them. And if you look, there's a line between their eyes which parallels the line of her arms and the lines of his arms which really create the scent of a focal attention of our eyes. And, you know, I think it's beautifully romantic and a beautiful sculpture. This is another Synding sculpture. This is a sculpture of the kiss. This is a beautiful, beautiful sculpture. I think it's much more beautiful than Rodin's kiss. And you can see again how he's holding her, shielding her in a sense. She's holding him. They're kissing. It's beautiful. It's anatomically beautiful. You know, he's anatomically a man. She's anatomically, you know, they've got the features of beauty when it comes to the male form and the female form. I know that's politically correct these days but indeed that's what it is. I think this is the best photo of it but just to give you a sense of it's, you know, just a few other angles. That's the setting it's in. This is a close-up, which I really like. I like this close-up a lot. Look at the arm. Look at how well it's sculpted. Look at the muscles there. Look at his eyes. So the sculptor has paid attention to the eyes and the eyes are looking into her eyes. So, you know, this is a real romantic kiss. There's real contact here. There's a real relationship here. What's interesting about the sculpture, you ever want to go see it? It is in Copenhagen. It's at the Kalsberg. You know, Kalsberg is the beer company. So Kalsberg, the guy you founded, the Kalsberg family, the Kalsberg family or the original Kalsberg who started the line, he loved sculpture. He loved 19th century sculpture and he collected what I believe is one of the best sculpture collections in the world, maybe the best. A lot of it was donated to the museum in Copenhagen, which everybody goes, a lot of people go to, the clip, clip, clip, something. And it's an amazing, a truly amazing museum. It's one of my favorite all-time museums. I think this piece is at that museum. And you can see a lot of sing-dings work in that museum in the, and I highly recommend, I mean, Copenhagen is a great city to go to. If you go there, go and see this museum. But this particular sculpture is not in the museum. This particular sculpture is actually in the brewery. So you can go get a tour of the brewery. But I'm not interested in making beer. I'm not interested in beer generally. I have no interest in going to see how beer is made. But what is interesting is you can go and you can look in the offices of the brewery. And the offices of the brewery are like a museum. They have all the artworks that Kalsberg, the great businessman, the guy who founded the brewery, collected, and not only are they in the museum, but they're also in the brewery. So this, when you see the background here, this is what it looks like. This is the brewery. And these are the offices. And you can see the reliefs on top there on the wall in the back. You can see the painting there. You can see the sculptures. There's another sculpture in the back there. But it's like another little museum. And people don't go there because they don't know, but also people don't really care that much about art or don't emphasize it. But we went there and it truly is, I think it truly is a beautiful, beautiful place. And just the sculpture is worth getting to know we have here in the house in Puerto Rico, a small version of this that's quite good, but it's a small version. So it's a sculpture I love. My wife and I love them. My wife found it online. They were selling it. And so we bought a copy and we love this sculpture. I'm gonna show you now a photograph. Let me just, I need to do something. I need to figure out, I had this earlier. I wanna say one, two, one, two. Almost there, almost there. Give me a minute. There it is. So this is one of my favorite sculptures. And it's, I think it's just so expressive. And it's just so beautiful. You know, it's young man, young woman. You know, he is in this completely tranquil, relaxed stage. She is kissing him above the eye. I think she's beautiful. Her hair is draped upon her face in a kind of a, the whole pose is kind of a protective pose, a very romantic, very loving pose. I mean, I think this sculpture, one of my favorites, we actually have two photos of the sculpture in our home, hanging on the wall. It's one of my wife's all time favorites. It's kind of incomplete, right? But I think that partially, because it's rough on the edges and her hair is a little rough, it really focuses the eye towards the meaning of their faces. It really orients you towards their faces and away from their bodies, towards the her expression and his expression and towards what the sculpture's really trying to capture. And the rest, this is where you should focus. This is what's important. This is what the artist really wants you to see. And sometimes that is an important technique in art is to make the background and some of the elements like the clothing or the body fuzzy in order to orient you to focus here. And because this is just a very intimate piece. It's not a full body. It's not a, it's not expressive of an entire body of either one of them. It works here that it's kind of incomplete that it just stands because you're just getting, you're just getting the face. And again, this is 19th century. This is actually German. It's a German sculptor by the name of Gustav Eberlein. Eberlein, now who knew Germans could sculpt? You usually think of French Italians. And Scandinavians. But it turns out Scandinavians and Germans could sculpt. And this is just beautiful. One of my favorite all-time romantic, thematically romantic sculptures ever. So I hope you like it. I hope you enjoy it. You're enjoying looking at it. It's impossible to find. It's in some museum in Germany. I think in Berlin, I don't know. I can't remember which museum exactly. A good friend of mine took this photo and we've had it on the wall since then. I need to ask him where it is exactly so I can go and see it. I think I saw it. I don't think I've ever seen it live. I don't think I've only seen it in this photo. I'd love to see this live. But this isn't traditionalism. Somebody says something about traditionalism. I mean, this is romanticism. This is beauty. This is artists expressing their values, expressing their soul, expressing who they are and what they believe and what they stand for in clay, marble, bronze, in the poetry, in the music that they produce. And I think popular culture today is a rejection of all of that. It's simplistic. It's dull. It's grotesque. It's, again, it's very materialistic because we're just material. You're just a bunch of DNA driving you towards some goal. All right, so Troy come in. Troy, thank you for the 500 Australian dollars that got us over it. Really, really appreciate that. And I see a lot of you have put down different recommendations. So we can take a look at those. I will close this window with this. I'm curious to see what you guys have to say about art and love and romance. More of you should be commenting. Oh, I see. Oh, they're more than I saw. OK. Fender Harpers says, the opening music for anime is often about love. Yeah, I think I've seen in the stuff you've sent me or people have asked me to review that was anime. It's often about love. But from the angle of virtue and valuing the other person, being stronger to keep them safe, being supportive, not love from the angle of lust, I find it very inspiring. Yes. And what I like about some of these sculptures about great art is that the lust is implicit in there. The lust is part of it. The lust is not to be denied. And I think there's one rodent sculpture where the male and the female are embracing and the male is sexually aroused. And I think it works in the sculpture because there is an element of lust there. But it's an element of lust that is associated with real values. It's associated with the whole moment of them embracing and the expressions and everything. It's not just porn. It's not just lust for the sake of lust. It expresses much more than that. Not that lust is a bad thing necessarily, right? So yes. But I think anime, like the South Korean k-dramas, seem to have this, Asia seems to have this romanticism. They didn't have it in the past. It was very repressed societies. Japan was quite open about sex, but repressed in terms of emotions, repressed in terms of love. And I think a lot of the monoculture in Korea and in Japan is trying to break out of that, is trying to get away from that and trying to be more romantic and to express more romanticism. And I think anime, it's there in anime for sure. Jennifer asks, do you know supposedly Romeo and Juliet was based on an old Greek story, Primaeus and Thebes? I wouldn't be surprised at all. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised. I mean at the end of the day, almost all of Shakespeare's stories, the basic story, it was taken from some other source. Shakespeare's genius is what he does with it. And if you think about the stories, they're not that core story. They're not, they don't sound that interesting, but what he does with it, the language, the drama, the conflict, the character development, but all expressed through kind of the words and the way it is staged. All of that is what makes Shakespeare genius. The stories themselves are often taken from somewhere else. All right, so Will says, the tiger, I need to write these down. Will says the tiger and the snow, the 2005 film by Edward, by Roberto Benini. Wow, I've never heard of that movie, so I'm writing these down as movie recommendations. Thank you, Will. Let's see, I'm looking, yeah. All right, so Richard said, my favorite modern painter is a silver book called Brian Lawson, Kicking Up Her Heels and Tomorrow Today is silver book on the scent of man, Lawson and my favorite, I Love Kipling Poetry. All my favorites, I Love Kipling Poetry and In Memoriam by Tennyson, In Memoriam's truly beautiful, truly, truly beautiful. And yeah, I love Kipling, if I think was Iron Man's favorite poem. Richard says, also great K-dramas that convey a positive vision of love besides Mr. Sunshine are startup 2421 and Iotuan class. Okay, I'm gonna give them another shot. Everybody keeps recommending these. I guess I need to give them another chance. But the show, they show the importance of shared values and love, that's great. All right, Ian says, the question from this morning is I'd love to hear you talk about how love is portrayed in contemporary art. But maybe that's a question for tonight. Yeah, I mean, again, I think in contemporary art, almost everything is either cynical or silly or I don't know. I mean, some of the romantic comedy is okay. I mean, you know, one of the romantic comedies, modern romantic comedy, You've Got Mail, is based on a Chopra on the Corner, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. What's the other romantic quality? When Harry Met Sally, but the whole point of when Harry Met Sally is, it's like the anti-romance, right? It's the friends and then they become lovers, but are they really in love? It's the exact movie that tries to undermine the idea of being in love, of romance, is this great thing to strive for. I think it undermines that. It's kind of a naturalistic, yeah, love is just what happens when you're really friends. And I ran ahead, some real harsh commentary about friendship and love. She didn't consider them as the same thing and the same category. They were different categories. Friendship was different fundamentally than love. And that you weren't your lover's best friend. That wasn't the right way to think about it. It was a different category of relationship. So my general view is that our modern culture and the modern artworks, you know, are grotesque in terms of their presentation of love. Primarily, I'd say music. I mean, think about the embrace, that sculpture that I talked about of Martin Luther King and his wife embracing when he won, I think, the Nobel Peace Prize and the sculpture. I mean, the sculpture I showed you focuses just on the faces. The sculpture they did focuses just on the arms. It's arms with no heads. I mean, there was never any excuse to make a full-fledged sculpture of human beings without a head. The head is what it's all about. I mean, you could have a torso without hands and legs. But, you know, but if you really wanna express something, you need a, you really need a face. You really need a head. And that sculpture of Martin Luther King, I mean, it's just a little terrible. You know, that's, that embrace compared to, to some of the sculptures that I presented here. It's just ridiculous. No emotion, no meaning, no relationship, no connection. Just a form, just a form. You can't even tell it's arms unless you really, if you know that it's supposed to be an embrace. We'll do that later. Marilyn says, I think sexy and benevolent should go together, but today we really see that portrayed. Yes, I mean, sexy, benevolent, charming. Yes, those should go together. And, you know, Marilyn Monroe had that aspect. A lot of Hollywood movie stars from the 1950s had that charming, benevolent, and sexy versus, you know, today sexy women are action figures. They have to blow up stuff and shoot people. I'm thinking Angelina Jolie, maybe. I mean, or even Salma Hayek, who's a pretty tough, tough lady in some of her movies, right? Marilyn says, Lucia de la Mour is the tribal tragedy with gorgeous music. Yes, that is an opera. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful opera. Linda says, Frank Sinatra singing violets for your furs. Yes, amazing. Ooh, this one, I don't know what this is. Gurenje by Emily about reaching a higher potential to keep the loved ones safe, very virtuous. I take that to be anime, and that's why I can't pronounce it, it's an anime, a song from anime by Amali. I think, didn't I review that? Okay, maybe I reviewed that. Marilyn says, Liebestod from Tristan is Old Yes, that's the one that goes a little too long, but is just some of the most beautiful music ever. Just gorgeous, and I love music in terms of intense, romantic emotions. That's what it evokes. Adam says, my favorite love music is Sin-San's Organ Symphony, Who Needs Words? All right. Yeah, I mean, I love the Organ Symphony. I don't associate with love, necessarily. Jay says, a surprising delight of a movie. Okay, I have to write this down. A Little Chaos with Kate Blanchett and Alan Rickman. I don't think I've seen that. I'll have to put that down as well. There's another one of your recommendations. Thank you, Jay. Jennifer says, The Ghost and Mr. Muir movie with Rex Harrison, oh yeah, that's a fun one. Well, what's that, from the 40s or 50s? That is fantastic. Ginger Clark says, Ella Fitzgerald sings Colporta. Unbelievable. I was just looking at some Colporta songs before the show started. What a voice she had. Let's see. Hi, Ioanna. Are you and Mrs. Book familiar with the painter, Odd Nairdroom, in the Norwegian podcast, The Cave of Appellis? There was the Italian artists. It might be worth checking out for objectives. I have seen them. Actually, I've listened to some of the podcasts. I've liked them. I like the paintings. I like some of his paintings. Let me, I'm just licking him up quickly because I've seen the paintings, but I have this hard time recollecting. I mean, they were a little dark. A lot of them are a little dark. That's what I thought. And yeah, there's, I mean, they're stylistically good, but they're quite, they have this quite, I don't know, both the way you use colors and there's just a lot of darkness that I say that. Yeah, anyway, but there's a lot of, not a lot. There are a number of good schools of art today that are actually teaching good art. There's a school in Minneapolis in, I think, Minnesota. There's a school in Florence. There's a number of academies that are trying to resurrect the style of painting from 100 years ago, 120, 30 years ago. And yeah, all right, let's see. Ian says, my favorite romantic author is Maevee Binchie. Wow, I don't know Maevee Binchie. Never heard of him. You guys are full of surprises. All right, thank you, Ian. Adam says, is the Korean series Itaewon Class Love Wins in the Korean series? Thank you, Adam. Apollo Zeus Flashdance the movie. Yeah, it's fun. I don't think it's a great romantic movie, but it's fun. Simon Gassy, would you tell leftist to cite the Gilded agent, oh, that's off topic, so let's get back to that later. All right, Stephen Harper says, my favorite living composer is Alma Deutsch. Yeah, I mean, she's really good. I love her piano concerto, especially which she premiered in 2017, when she was 12. The world premiere of a new opera. Is it Cinderella or something? A new opera in Salzburg will take place on March 4th. She will soon be 18. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing what direction her career takes and whether she can hold on to that romantic, benevolent spirit that she has. It's so hard in our cynical culture to sustain that kind of benevolence. So I'm really hoping that she does and that she can. All right, thank you to everybody. Okay, we're gonna switch topics because I'm gonna go to general super chat questions, but if you still wanna share favorite poems, love poems, love poems, love songs, love movies, I surprised there are more movies. That's surprising, romantic movies and songs. Where are all the songs? Some of you must have favorite romantic songs, so share them, poems, songs, movies, plays, novels, whether romantic novels. In 1996 she was filled with great novels of romance. What was the British author? The woman who wrote a lot about love in British society. Yeah, Fidelio by Beethoven is a love story. It's also an opera of liberation. I don't think it's Beethoven's strongest in terms of the music, but it's brilliant, but it's just not as good as some of his other things. I've got you under my skin, yeah, a corpore, Sinatra, Stella by Starlight, yeah, all those are good. What's the movie with the lion? You maybe want to be a better man. Yeah, good question. That's a great line, and I can't remember what movie it is. Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen, yeah, that's the one I was looking for. Stone Cold, Jane Austen. What is the movie with that line? You make me, oh, I know what movie that is. That's Jack Nicholson. It's Jack Nicholson. It's a very strange movie about romance, but it's wonderful, it's very benevolent, and it's as good as it gets. He is autistic, he's schizophrenic, autistic, he's something, right? I mean, something's wrong with him. Many things are wrong with him, and he falls in love with this waitress, but it's difficult and it's crooky, but his best line, and one of the great, great, great romantic lines ever, is, you know, he's struggling. Everything for him, he has OCD. Everything for him is an effort. Everything for him, he has to control himself. He has to control himself, and he says at some point, and this is the line that gets her, right, and gets her in the end, is you make me want to be a better man, and that's exactly what love should do to you. It should want to make you be better. You want to live up to the best that she expects from you. You want to elevate yourself to be deserving of that love, right? So you want to move. So yes, that is a great line, and I like that movie a lot. It's just a really fun movie, and it's, you make me not want to sleep with a bunch of people, the goon. I don't know, it's quite, isn't quite that elevated a sentiment. Let's see what else we have. I'm just looking through the chats. It's harder for me to track the chats than the super chat. It's right in my face. Anyway, yeah, I can't do much more than that. I think of you by Renaissance, Renaissance, God. You know, Renaissance was one of my favorite music bands when I was a teenager in the late 1970s. I saw Renaissance perform live. At least twice in Israel. I loved Renaissance, Renaissance was, but I can't think of their song. I think of you, I'm gonna have to look it up. I'm sure I know it because I knew at the time, I knew all of Renaissance's songs, but I can't remember that. It was a long, long time ago. All right, let's see, Hoppa Campbell, $100. Thank you, Hoppa. Hoppa is one of the people who really made it possible for us to guest to our target tonight, and thank you all to all the super chatters. Troy, of course, with the $500 Australian dollars, and Hoppa and the lead in terms of getting us there. Hoppa says, how much of people's failure today are due to their own laziness and lack of willingness to get out of their comfort zone? Well, are most people hard workers and government regulations that destroyed the opportunities for any success? How can this be measured objectively? I don't know that it can, but I do think that it's a combination of both. I think that the government and the regulations and the controls dumb us down. I think also wealth has a little bit of that effect in the sense of life is easy and comfortable without having to try, so you can just have a job and just be okay. And why be ambitious? Why try? Why take risks when you can survive? So, but that combines people's laziness. They can get away with being lazy. They can get away with that lack of willingness to get out of the comfort zone. But it's also that getting out of the comfort zone can be penalized, that getting out of the comfort zone is more risky than it should be. But look, fundamentally the problem today is not government and it's not laziness. The fundamental problem today is ideological. It's ideas. It's that people don't know what to do if they want to get up and think out of the comfort zone because then they'll be taught to think. It's that they'll be taught to question their reason into question their mind and not trust rationality and not trust their own thinking. They'll be taught that. So why take risks? Why go out on a limb when I can't trust it anyway? What can I do? I'm impotent. I mean, what modern culture, what the modern educational system, what our modern philosophers have done is they've dumbed people down or they haven't dumbed people down. What they've really done is they've caused people to question their means of survival. They've caused people to question their reason and their thinking. They've caused people to question their ability to live great lives, to take risks, to be successful. That's the problem. It's not government. This is, we're not libertarians. It's not everything's not the government's fault. Everything's not, it's the philosophers. It's the intellectuals. It's the teachers. It's everything to do with the ideas that Kantian, Hegelian, Russoian, Marxist ideas that have undermined reason and this goes to romance. Why is romance viewed cynically? Because free will is out. Reason is out. We're just animals. But where does that idea come from? From intellectuals, from philosophers. And once you lobotomize human beings, once you tell them their reason is impotent, once you tell them they don't have free will, that romance is meaningless. What are you romantic about? Why value? It's all just, it's all just nothing. It's all just material. It's all just flesh. It's all just DNA. Nothing else. It's nothing else. That's why people are the way they are. And that is a cause for their laziness. It's a cause. And then that's why they rely on government. And that's a loop, right? They rely on government, which makes them even more dependent, which makes them want more government, which makes them more dependent, which makes them more government, makes them more dependent. Back and forth and back and forth. All right, let's see, Stephen Hopper says, Alma Deutsch's new opera is the emperor's new waltz. Thank you. I will attend the premiere. Good for you. That's exciting and fun. Will says, full nakedness, all joys are due to thee. As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be. John don't is mistress going to bed. I love that. That's beautiful. Full nakedness, all joys are due to thee. As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be. That's right, sex is revealing of the soul. The soul is naked in sex. So is the body. But I didn't know that. I wasn't familiar with that. That's really pretty. I don't know anything about John Donne, Donne. All right, copy, paste it, look him up. All right, some other questions, off-topic questions. Off-topic, any plans to read Malice's new book? It's called The White Pill and it's about atrocities of the Soviet Union. First chapter is about Rand and her Huak testimony, interesting Rand trivia too. Probably not. Probably no plans to read the book. Partially because I know the atrocities of the Soviet Union. I might try to pick up a copy somewhere or just to read that first chapter and curious what he has to say, but it's not for me, I don't think. Justin says, is it possible that those of us who fight for the dignity of mankind will lose our fight? It is not possible that we must lose our fight, the thesis of Malice's book. Well, that's good, that's a good thesis. It's a very good thesis. I hope, to that extent, I hope it does really well. Liam says, why do people feel such a strong desire to attack reason? Well, because they've been taught that it's impotent and pretentious and meaningless and doesn't teach you real reality. This is from Kant to today's post-modernism, to CRT, to the subjectivist movement, to everything, to the determinists. From the Marxist determinists to the evolutionary biologists determinists. Reason is meaningless, so why do you pretend? Why do you make such a big deal of it? And of course, the underlying reason for many people to attack reason is to defend their faith. Is to defend their chosen religion, whether it's Christianity or environmentalism or whatever, it happens to be at any given point in time. Faith is the opposite of reason. To establish faith, you have to attack reason, you have to undermine reason. This was the mission of Kant and this is what he achieved. Liam says, does objectivism subscribe to virtue ethics? I mean, there's a sense in which objectivism is a virtue ethic. We don't subscribe to virtue ethics because that's somebody else's ethics, but there's a sense in which objectivism is one virtue ethic, because it's an ethic that emphasizes human virtues, but we're very different. So I don't think we're part of that movement, part of that tradition, part of that thinking. It's the closest to objectivism today because it emphasizes virtues as a means for self-betterment of living a better life as Aristotle did, but objectivism has a much more complete system of ethics. And has a metaethics, which I don't think I'm not sure virtue ethics has, that is the art from an is, the whole idea of where the arts come from. I'm not sure virtue ethics really has an answer to that. Reggie Woodcock is in cave in the light. The author said, Plato was the main influence for the Renaissance, do you agree? No, I don't. I think he was the main influence on thinkers during the Renaissance, primarily philosophers. The Neoplatidists were big and the Humanists were influenced by Plato. And I think there's a mistake that the thinkers of the time and I think that many people today make of associating the Aristotle's influence with the rigidity of the Catholic Church, with the scholastics, with the scholastics, that Aristotle equals the scholastics. But Aristotle had more subtle ways in which he impacted, you know, to think about science and the rise of science during the Renaissance and the importance of science during the Renaissance, the growing importance of science in the Renaissance and onwards. And unfortunately one of the great tragedies of history, I think, is that Aristotle got his philosophy and his name got too related to the scholastics and therefore dismissed by the non-Catholics, dismissed by people who dismissed the scholastics dogmatism. It also was perceived like to be an Aristotelian, you had to agree with Aristotle's everything he said, but also his science. And if you empirically discovered something new about science that contradicted Aristotle, then you were not Aristotelian. But that's upside down. You're using Aristotle's method. What's most important about Aristotle, the scientist, is method, not conclusions. And in methods, the Renaissance is very Aristotelian and moving towards more great influence of Aristotle as there's greater influence of science. And the whole idea of reason and thinking and individualism are all influences of Aristotle, even though the craze at the time was to read Plato, because again, Aristotle was associated with those scholastics over there. Marilyn, do you think people also attack reason because it gets them off the hook for the inability to think? Yeah, psychologically, I'm sure some weak people do that. I don't know how aware they are of it. It's hard to believe that somebody like that is aware of it, but it could be the fence mechanism. Simon says, any plans of having a show with Harry Binswine? Yeah, I mean, we're in contact. My assistant is trying to schedule shows into the future, so I think we've got shows through the end of March being scheduled and partially depends on whether the person gets back to us and their schedule and my schedule, all of these things. But the general idea is every week when I'm home, that is when I'm in Puerto Rico and when I've got this equipment, I will interview somebody. And, you know, tomorrow, no, on Thursday, it will be Alex, Alex Epstein. And then I go to Europe for two weeks and then when I come back, I think the first Thursday I'll be interviewing Robert Handyshop, my business partner. We'll be talking about a project that he has initiated, we're doing together, about something called Ingenuism, so we'll talk about that a little bit. And then I've got other people, including Harry on a list for the rest of the year. So it will all happen, all happen over the rest of the year. But there are a lot of people I want to interview. Harry's on the list. It's not being prioritized based on who I want to interview more urgently. It's being prioritized based on who is available and are they getting back to me in time and is their calendar open in the days that I want to interview? All right, that was the final super chat. Thank you, everybody. I hope you enjoyed, oops, one last one. John Wayne just said, I recently finished Atlas Shrugged. Why does Sheryl Brooks commit suicide? Is there no alpha? I mean, it's really, really important that she commits suicide. Again, it's a novel, remember. She doesn't exist in real life. She commits suicide because she is the innocent victim of James Taggart, of that philosophy, of that ideology. She is not, she's not enough of an independent thinker. She's not enough of an original thinker to be able to withstand the philosophy around her. She is that basically good, simple human being. Then in a sense, trust the media, trust the culture, goes along with the ideas of the culture and gets slapped and slapped and slapped and slapped by it. And she is honest enough to know that she's out of her league in a sense that she can't understand what the hell is going on. And everything she has thought exists, doesn't exist. And it's, life is not worth living. I mean, she's enough of a romantic. She's enough of an idealist to know that life's not worth living if that's the necessary state of the world. And so it's very important for a philosophical ideological perspective for her to be, for you to see that she can redeem herself. This is why I'm gonna emphasize is the evil of the intellectuals and the role of the intellectuals. How did I miss that question? Oh, there it is, okay. I don't know how I missed that question. Sorry, Simon. So, yeah, John, I hope that answers your question. In the real world, one would hope you could sit her down and you remember that she tries to talk to Dagny and Dagny tries to straighten her out, but it's too late. Too much of a world view is tied up in the world, in the culture, she sees it and she can't imagine a different world and she can't grasp fully what Dagny's telling her and the world is just gone. And the point is that, you know, Dagny will survive no matter what happens. Cheryl will not survive. And that's a big part of this. It's why Eddie Willis in the end, you know, cannot rescue himself. Simon asked, what do you tell leftists who cite the Gilded Age as a failure for capitalism? Well, it depends what it is they're citing. What is it about the Gilded Age that's bad? I mean, the Gilded Age was a wonderful period in which people became rich, people were incredibly successful, industry was built and created, the quality and standard of living of Americans and people around the world in industrializing countries rose. So it's a fantastic period of time, you know, so inequality rises, but inequality rises as, inequality rises as people get wealthier and better off. So it's a good period, not a bad period. All right, I have to run. Thanks, everybody. I'll see you all tomorrow for a news show. And of course, on Thursday for both the news show and Alex have a...	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZh90OPmq58", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Heading into their position, Netanyahu, the most dominant Israeli politician of his generation, pledged he would soon return to power. In a roguest session, parliament voted confidence in Benay's new administration by a razor-thin 60-59 majority. A former defence minister and a high-tech millenia, Benay was due to be sworn in shortly after the vote. His alliance includes, for the first time in Israel's history, a party that represents its 21st 21% Arab minority, with little in common except for a desire to end in Netanyahu era and political impasse that led to four inconclusive elections in two years. The coalition of left-wing, centrist, right-wing and Arab parties is likely to be fragile.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz6q6EKKmNU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC2RbTnQ9sr6r1FgbFKf-fOA	Beltrami County Sheriff Announces Retirement		[ "Lakeland Public Television", "LPTV", "PBS", "Bemidji", "Minnesota", "MN" ]	2018-02-13T05:31:43	2024-02-05T16:24:46	59	vZ-NBDPtTrg	Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodab will not seek re-election this fall. Hodab today announced he plans on retiring at the conclusion of his third term as sheriff. Hodab says in a press release that the opportunity to serve the county has been the most gratifying experience in his 42 years of law enforcement. He cites accomplishments in reducing crime in neighborhoods and improve safety on area roadways over the last 11 years. No candidates have publicly announced an interest in running for the sheriff's position, but Hodab says he is encouraging Chief Deputy Sheriff Ernie Beidel to run. Hodab says Beidel has been instrumental in the operation and strategic planning in the sheriff's office. We hope to bring you more on this later this week.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ-NBDPtTrg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

My name is Kevin and today we're playing an extremely manly game called Ublitz. This video is sponsored by Epic Games. I've partnered with them to do a few videos on this game and I'm pretty damn excited about it. As I said, it is extremely manly so it's right up my alley. The game is available now on the Epic Games Store. It's in early access and you can use the link in the description if you want to get it for yourself. You can also use my code, call me Kevin, if you'd like to support me further, but I understand if you only want to support me so much. You know, you gotta draw your own line here at some point. What's your name buddy? Spell it out. Um, big man. Yeah, that's me. Wait, no, hold on. Yeah, that's a manly haircut right there. Now it looks like the game is flirting with me. Hey there, big man. How do you want to look? Oh my god, is this there like, old? Hey fellow kids, why do I always play as an old man? Oh my god. I like that. It looks like he's been ostracized and just sent out to sea. Are you from the Ooblet High Council? Yes, sure, why not? I'm the new village elder. Oh god damn it, big man gave up our cover. I, uh, know I'm big man from a raw island. I'm pulling up to the island like, well, I have no money or skills or personal possessions. I'm just here to be a drain on the taxpayers of the island. But they're giving me an old abandoned farmhouse. What is this person doing? They're being a bit nosy. They keep staring at me for some reason. First off, wait, where are your Ooblets? Police! I think my person's asking for their mama. Big man. Oh god, I gotta do the hardest task of all. Talk to people. Digging your whole dealie you got going on. Very confused cheek. That's one way of putting it. Big man looks like an alien who just went into a charity shop and bought the first things they put their tentacles on. Even the way they run. They are not human. You're standing awfully close to me. You've got a good point. Social distancing is totally in vogue right now. Did I use that right? What does in vogue actually mean? If something is in vogue, it's very popular and fashionable. Ah, okay. For once I'm right. New Ooblets spotted. Lump stump. Get me one of them lump stumps. Oh my god. Maybe not actually. It looks freaking terrifying. Okay. Continue talking to the village people. They are my favorite band after all. Oh, no, no, no, don't take it. You know what? Sure. All right. Now, now I'm just in my underwear. Oh, this guy gave me a bungly bun. All I had to do was take off my clothes. I got to talk to one more person. Where are you? Come here. I'll find you one way or another. Just running around my underwear chasing after them. Come here. Let me talk to you. I can join a club. Do I want to join the front buns? The peak snubs? Who are apparently the club of born leaders. Strong competitors and just generally successful people. I like the sound of that. Mimpins, the club for clever people who aren't very good at social interactions. It's going to relate to the last bit. Join me up to the peak snubs. They look really into fashion. And if there's one thing big man knows, it's fashion. This is my first ooblet. I love them. All right. Now you got a dance challenge from one of these lump stumps. I think I can out dance this thing. Like, I can tell there's nothing going on between the ears here. The lights are on, but no one is home. Oh, this is fantastic. Like, I was just staring at his underwear on an acid trip. So basically, this is kind of like a battle system. And like you can capture other ooblets and whatnot. But instead of like battling them to make them faint, you do little dance ops. And yes, this game is still very manly. Quick Kevin, do something manly to prove how manly you are. Phew. Okay. That'll show. I didn't want to bring it up. It's just you kept bringing it up. So I just said I'd address it, but I didn't want to. Okay. What move will we do? I'm feeling like a pilfer poker right now. Let's do a pilfer poker. All right. Well, we did it. I'm not sure if it accomplished anything. This thing is not even dancing back. This thing is stealing my dance moves. The gentle kind of move to side to side. Oh, wait, hold on. They're out dancing me. They're out dancing me. I like how on the top right you can flee. This game speaks to me too much. I just imagine me in a club like this and then I just flee. Oh my God. I'm actually losing. The crowd is going to his side. I need to rile them up. Dump the stump, everyone. Oh, wait, we got a flip floss. Whatever the hell a flip floss is. Oh, I like that. And that has tied the score. The luck of the Irish pulls it back in my favor. Oh, wait, hold on. I think I can win with these two moves. Yes. Come on. Dance your way to victory. I think we've won. Ha, ha, ha. You just got served your little weedling. Get seed. Yes. Take a seed. Okay. I think I changed my mind. I don't think I want that seed. Meet Tinstil at the farmhouse. I'm coming Tinstil. I don't know the way to the farmhouse, but I'm coming. This is the farmhouse. You must have misspoken. This is an outhouse. They do have a point. What do you expect for a freehouse? I, I, I, alright. You have a point. Okay. I'll take it. Just don't dig any deeper than six feet around here. I think she's buried a body in my garden. I'm going to make farmland that resembles graves. God damn it. I can't do enough. Big men says that's enough. He's, he's tired. All right. The second grave can be a child's grave. God, I'm ruining this game for everyone. Now you just need to water it. Here's a dribbly can you can use. My house is a feckin dribbly can. Look at that. It's one moist house. Fill that watering can fill her up. Oh, they're running away. I've watered my plants. Maybe they finally realized I'm a naked old man and the situation is very uncomfortable. Oh my God. Is this my house? This is sad. At least big man's happy. All right. Here we go. It's a new dawn. It's a new day. It's a new life. And I'm feeling cold. Doot-oom. I need some pants. I think I've got island madness. My neighbors just watching me watering the plants singing this song. I like the quest. It's like go explore around a bit or something. It's very vague. It's just not pressuring me and I appreciate that. All right. Big man's going to start wandering into some people's houses. Hmm. This looks comfy. This is going to sleep. All right. I robbed them. I'm going to get kicked off this island. Oh, and I found some token on the ground. Okay, run before I get caught. And next door. Heavenly home. More like Kevin Lee home. Let's make it ours. How long do you think it takes for squatter's rights to kick in in this world? Five minutes maybe. I'm stealing everything. The dance baron is locked. I need to know what's going on in there. Oh my God. He's chopping that log with his hand. Now all of a sudden that video of me chopping the firewood is a lot less manly. This run is fantastic. Oh my God. That officer is huge. Absolute unit. I'm big man. I just moved to town. No, that is big man. Thank God that officer does not care about indecent exposure because there's no way I could take him. What is this guy doing? Illegal dumping. Okay. That officer doesn't care about anything by the looks of it. My hobby is going on news shows and pretending to be an expert or whatever they're talking about. That is a cool hobby. That sounds like fun. I don't know if this is your trash or what, but I'm just trying to tidy it up. I need to do my part in this town before they ostracize me just like the last people did. He's probably collected these to cash in on the recycling payment and I'm just picking them all up. Help Tinsel with this task. Reopen town hall. Let's do it. Okay, there's something in there that keeps biting her ankles. I really hope it's one of these ooblets and not just a weird mare. Maybe if you make a big show of beating him in a dance battle it'll be enough to get him to leave so I can start using my office. I'm on it. Tinsel, is that your name? I'm going in. I'm not prepared for this at all. I've danced once in my life. Where is it? Ah, here we go. Look at him. A little moody fecker. Come on, level one. Let's do this. Sorry, I haven't named you yet. Oh, this move is strong. The flip floss. This gave me eight points last time. There is no beating the flip floss. Okay, I'm getting extremely lucky cards here because I am destroying this click, click claw. What are the name again? Clicky claws, yes. Oh my God, another flip floss. Okay, the battle is over. I have won. I have retaken town hall. Give me her seed, clicky claws. Oh, big man came over and was like, good job, little clicky claws. You did great. Turn that frown upside down. Come on. Want me to grow a new friend? That's kind of sad that I even need to grow friends. But I'll try. I'll bring it back to the farm. Okay, we got some tasks here. Tinsel is their name, actually. I forgot what their name was. Fix the friendship sticker. Printy press. Repair the old farmhouse. I like the sound of repairing the old farmhouse. Get settled into town by fixing up your musty decrepit shack into a less terrible shack. Setting the barrel low as well. That's what I like. Clear out all the mystery cans. Okay, I can do that too. I already started it. Okay, run home. Run home, big man. God, that running posture is insane. Okay, what do I need to fix up the house? I need a planklet. I guess just a small plank. A clottlet and a nerney. Ah yes, I have some nerneys already and I already have some planklets. All right, we're on a good start here. Did I get the planklets from karate chopping that thing earlier? Big man smash rock. Big man manly. I'm looking for goodies to repair my farmhouse. And it's actually working somehow. Weed. No, thank you. He's high enough. Are you seeing what he's seeing? His little blue blip must think he's fecking insane. He's just going, no, it's just smashing all these rocks with his bare hands. I told you this game was manly. All right, I already got all the nerneys and the planklets. I'm just looking for a clottlet. And maybe the weeds have this. I haven't tried smashing it yet. No, they have nothing. All they have is back pain. Wait, oh wait, we got some clot plant seeds. Huh. Oh my God, he's so tired, but I just keep forcing him. Let's do this manual labor. Okay, that running posture is suddenly not so great anymore. What the hell is this thing? Oh my God, I wanted it. It has a little crown. I would have too tired to even acknowledge it. Oh, this is the mayor's ooblet. God, you're very fully yourself. Giving it a crown and everything. All right, I'm going to go to bed. When your posture is that bad, you know, it's time for sleep. Oh my God, my energy is already gone and I just woke up. Oh, my posture's got to heck again. I've only been up for like five minutes. Come on, at least water these plants. Come on, you hardly need any more energy. He only has four energy total. There you go. Oh my God, he's asleep on his legs. Damn it, I woke up in the middle of my sleeping patterns. Fact now, just go to sleep. Yeah, sleep until morning. It's been a long day of sleep after all. You must be tired after all that sleeping. Best get some sleep. Also different ooblets are spotted in the town every day. Unfortunately, this one is still here. I've watered my plants, but I just want them to grow. Can I just sleep it off until they grow? You're not even sleepy. God damn it. How can I wear out some energy? I got an idea. Just smashing things again. I just sound like Garedon's smashing logs and rocks like, Come on, buddy, get tired. I found toilet paper. Great. I can become one of those hoarders. On the bright side, I am getting my Garedon like super clean. So it's kind of like breaking two rocks with one stone. That's the saying, right? Sorry, I'm kind of obsessed with breaking rocks now. There goes the posture. You know what that means? Time to go to bed in the outhouse. Good thing I have a load of toilet paper now. I can really make it feel like an out home. This poor ooblet must be like, Really? Out of all the trainers I could have gotten, I got this guy. He's out in the rain just smashing rocks with his bare hands in his underwear. Speaking of which, Wearing white undies probably isn't the best choice to do gardening. It must be destroyed. Please don't summarize my day. I've just been smacking rocks. Another half day and these will be ready. And these are ready to be harvested. Great. My first crops. Alright, someone give me a gift of this thing. It turns crops into their powdered forms. God knows what he's going to be making with it. Let's add my crops. And that will make fruit toast. Okay, fantastic. Okay, so your ooblet does a little bit of work free on the farm as well as being a great dancer. What a jack of all trades. Look at him go. I've cleaned my whole f- Oh wait. Not on my watch, little weedling. And now I got plenty of room to do laps. Fantastic. This is the life. I forgot to plant my new friend from earlier as well. Alright, well, they're planted now. I can't wait to grow a friend. I never knew it was an option. I just realized you can get XP and you get wishes that I could have cashed in for the clotlet things that I need. You know what? I want organic clotlet, so I will wait. Alright, while my ooblet does all the work, I am going to go to sleep. And then my plan should be done. Oh, they're done. Fantastic. Oh wait, I needed five. Okay, about that thing earlier about the organic. I'm over that now. I don't mind getting some from wishes. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, just give me the easy way out. Thank you. And I'm ready. Yes, show me what this outhouse can become. Well, basically it just patched up the roof. But you know what? That's good enough for me. Again, the thing was free. Yes! I appreciate the little dance, but you got nothing on my ooblet. They dance circles around you. Alright, I think I'm pretty happy with how this went. Look how clean my farm is. Come here, you little weed. Get out of here. You know, it's as much time I spent cleaning this place up. You think you can just spring up and ruin it? There you go. Look how clean it is. And I'm growing a friend. The farmhouse looks good. We can decorate it next time. Fantastic. But we are going to end it there. I hope you enjoyed. I'll definitely be playing more of this on the channel. I really enjoy it. I get addicted to games like this, like similar games in the past. I get just properly addicted to it. I don't know what it is, but this game seems really fun. I do like it a lot. I'll thank Epic Games for the partnership on this one. It helps the channel a lot. Now thank you for watching as well. Again, helps me a lot. As I said earlier, the link will be in the description if you want to check out the game for yourself. You can use code called me Kevin if you want to help me out a bit more. But no pressure. Don't worry, I understand, you know, but while we talked about earlier, there's got to be a line somewhere. But yeah, I appreciate you watching. I hope you enjoyed. And I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzYDXzZu7Xg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm pleased to introduce the next session on inclusive and sustainable economic growth and human well-being. And pass the floor to the Network Manager of SDSN Greece, Lidia Papadakis. Lidia. Welcome to UNSDSN Greece session. I'm Lidia Papadakis, the Manager of UNSDSN Greece, which is chaired by Fifi Kunduri and Andreas Papandreou, who will take part in our panel. Our session focuses on an interdisciplinary understanding on how happiness connects with the aesthetic and how they can help the recovery of the crisis. So now I ask our audience, raise your hand if you've heard the aesthetic in the past. So if you can see on the right, on the right bottom, there is a small hand. So please click on this small orange hand if you've heard of the aesthetic in the past. Let's see. Let's see how many have heard. Okay, until I give you time to click on the hand. Great. Okay, as I say, not many have heard of the aesthetic so far. Well, who did you know? And now before introducing our panelists, I would like to run a poll, which will show up on your screen and where you can choose the continent, where you're coming from. So let me see. In the country. Yep, there we go. And here it is. So until you answer the poll, I let me introduce you to our panel. I give you great, great, great. So yeah, you have time. So chair of our session is Professor Fivi Kunduri, who's Professor of Economics at Athens University of Economics and Business. She's President of EAD, Co-Chair of UNSDSN Greece, Director of EAD Climate Kick Hub and Advisor to the European Commission for the Implementation of the European Green Deal. So when the poll is down, you will have the chance to see them again. Our panel is composed of Prof Andreas Pampandreou, who is a Professor of Economics at the National and Gabbard University of Athens and also Co-Chair of UNSDSN Greece. Prof Nikita Spittis, who is a full Professor in Financial Econometrics at the Department of Banking and Financial Management of the University of Bureaus and he's also partner in Asset-wise Asset Management Company.

So it's time to close the poll and see as we can see most of you are coming from Europe with some with the 20% coming from Asia and a 4% from Australia and a 4% from America and 1% only from Africa. So there we go. So don't forget, don't forget that there is a Q&A so at the end so please add any questions you have at the chat box on the on the right. Now let me first close my camera and call Professor Fivi Kunduri to open up the discussion. So I'm continuing by saying that according to the World Happiness Report, happiness is a better measure for a nation's progress that GDP and using social well-being as a goal drives better public policy. And this is a result that is coming up in each and every of the eight World Happiness Reports that have been concluded until today. I do hope that this will be an exciting session searching answers to questions like how is well-being to be understood and what are the main subjective and objective components of happiness? What are the weaknesses of GDP as a measure of well-being? If improvements in well-being and happiness are going to be achieved via this sustainability transition, via the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030, how are we going to use this agenda which is currently the only goal? And what would be the role of public finance in this recovery? And in addition to public finance, what would be the role of political institutions, global multilateral institutions, European integration? And is it the case that we are on the verge of another crisis? And if this is the case, how can sustainable development and the STG allow us to identify a roadmap that will allow for me as an introduction to this session the current pandemic, the current health crisis, kind of clearly proven the ability of governments to take dramatic measures to mitigate the existential threats. And it's also shown that people have the ability to adapt to new restricted lifestyles. We've also seen that the timing of the enactment of measures is crucial for the effectiveness of saving lives and that more that the response to this health crisis came from national states, rather than international organizations. These are three main observations that will also guide our discussion today in terms of what is possible and what is not possible. So, Kinti, Vaso Kinti, and Professor Stelios Birvidakis to open their camera and start our discussion with regards to the conceptual analysis of well-being. Stelios, Vaso, very nice. So Stelios, I would like to ask you how is well-being to be understood and to what extent people in different societies and different cultures diverge in their understanding of happiness and also how is morality related to happiness? Well, this is a very complex discussion. As a philosopher, I have to express certain worries about how well we can deal with these conceptual issues in a few minutes. But let me just give it a try. I would begin by remarking that the very notion of well-being is part of a web of interrelated concepts and notions which one has to probe carefully in order to understand what we are dealing with. So let me just mention some of them. I mean, we've already mentioned happiness, but there are other concepts that have been used in this context, like quality of life, or welfare, or having a meaningful life or succeeding in life, a successful life, living well and having a good life. And this is quite complicated precisely because of the semantic depth of these concepts, which comes from history and different cultural traditions. As you said, there seem to be divergences in the understanding of these issues. Just to give you an idea, being Greek, we use this term eudaimonia, which comes from Aristotle, and we tend to think that this means the same as our contemporary notion of happiness. Now, happiness seems to refer to a mental state, some kind of inner state, but for Aristotle, eudaimonia was a kind of objective understanding of the flourishing of a human being, flourishing meaning here, the realization of one's potential. Now, well-being should be understood within this context. And I know that economists and politicians are impatient and they just try to just provide practical ideas and solutions and measurement. But again, being a philosopher, I have to think about the difficulty of measuring these things. And just to give you an idea of the differences and divergences due to cultural context, nowadays talking about the coronavirus crisis, we have noticed how different governments have implemented measures. Taking China and the kind of approach that the Chinese have implemented, which seems to be quite effective. Now, many Europeans and philosophers, but not only philosophers, express a worry that this approach, which is to some extent, we would say authoritarian or somehow interfering with people's everyday lives too much in order to protect them. In a way, it is being paternalistic to some extent. And I know I have Chinese friends who seem to be quite satisfied and accept these limitations, which are excessive by European standards. And they actually, they criticize us for not being strict enough in our measures. Now, this gives you an idea of what you do in a time of crisis. And this helps you understand how different people, how different an outlook people may have regarding their well-being and what it means to have well-being. Now, as you said, there are subjective and objective dimensions to these concepts and issues. They have to be interpreted in different ways. And I think Vaso will also talk about that to some extent. But the question is, can we find some objective indicators which would help us? We all agree that maybe the meaning of our lives and the quality of our lives is understood also subjectively through one's self-perception and self-awareness. But still, I think most people East and West would agree that there seem to be some basic needs. And if well-being is interpreted, is involving satisfaction not only of desires, but of needs that seem to be more or less basic, then we can take it from there. Let's say it is a minimum. Let's say that would be a minimal conception and move on. Now, psychologists, sociologists and economists have given such indicators. I would like to mention Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, famous social psychologist, or Amartya Sands and Martha Nussbaum's capabilities approach, which stipulate that you have to satisfy some basic things regarding life, health, sustenance, minimal sustenance, and then take it from there and move on to social needs of affiliation and then self-actualization. But also, just not to forget what you pointed out, there is an ethical and political dimension to all this. Now, again, for us Europeans, there seems to be a sensitivity to democracy and somehow securing certain democratic, let's say a certain democratic understanding of rights and protection of rights. And this shouldn't be jeopardized. I mean, no matter what. Now, of course, I said no matter what, but life comes first and survival comes first. But morality and moral issues and political issues will come in at some point. And one of the big questions, of course, which you have hinted at, and which we cannot deal with properly within five minutes, is whether one can talk about well being and happiness if one doesn't pay any attention to moral norms, to respecting other people's rights, and somehow adopt, if one could adopt a very egoistic or egocentric understanding of one's satisfaction of needs and desires. So here again, I would urge us to just study the moral and normative aspect of well being. And that's a matter of interpretation. I would say interpretation involving philosophical reflection is to bring in my own interests. I don't know if you want you to just elaborate on that, but this would be just to begin with. Thank you very much, Stejo. It is quite important to know, and especially for us economists and sociologists, the difficulties and the complexities in identifying and defining well being. Although it is quite urgent that we elaborate or enlarge and enhance our measures of well being, because what we have now as the common as the norm in terms of GDP seems to be deficient. But let me continue with Vaso. Vaso, can you please turn on your camera and Stejo's? We will come back to you with questions and answers at the end of our session. Vaso, can you please open your camera? Thank you very much. I would like you to please elaborate further on how we distinguish between objective and subjective assessments of well being. What does this really mean? Is the distinction between life and views? It's a Greek word, meaning something similar to life, relevant to the assessment of well being. Can we promote well being from rights? Please, Vaso. Yes, thank you for having me in this webinar. As you said, I mean, we can distinguish between objective and subjective assessment of well being. And although well being, one might say, is a more basic concept in comparison to others, let's say, happiness more down to earth, it is still very difficult to define as we just saw. And this distinction between objective and subjective assessment adds a further complication. But let's see what it amounts to. A democratic government that gets, let's say, a mandate from its citizens to cater for their well being, either collectively or individually or both, may set certain standards to determine their well being. For instance, it may prohibit smoking because it's bad for them, or it may impose a lockdown because of an epidemic, like the one that we currently experience. In these cases, the government, which assesses our well being, consults scientific evidence and assesses our well being objectively, one might say, but also paternalistically. It knows better than we do what is best for us. And in that process, it may restrict some of our liberties and curb some of our rights. Now, on the other hand, if we are the ones who assess our well being, we may turn out to be wrong because we may lack information, lack knowledge, lack expertise. And in that case, we may think that our well being is not identical to what we think it is, or what satisfies our preferences and desires. So we see that in both cases, that is, in the case of objective assessment and subjective assessment, we have good and bad consequences. Also, if we opt for the objective assessment, we may think that we may be acting as a divided self on the one hand, feelings, emotions and impulses and on the other reason. Or we may be handing over the determination of our well being to others, to experts, to the government that consults experts, in which case we need to consider very seriously what kind of polity we would like to have, what kind of representatives we would like to have, what kind of a mandate we give to them. We need to trust that these people will make the right decisions, both right in the sense both of being epistemically right and morally right. Now, if on the other hand we choose the subjective assessment, as we said, we may go completely wrong and end up harming ourselves. Now, I want to add one more thing for the end. And that's actually another distinction that you already mentioned, the distinction between bare life or naked life and the quality of life or quality life. Now, this is a distinction that we find already in Arisotel and Arisotel distinguishes between the Greek word zoi as you mentioned, which signifies biological life or bare life, and then bios or veos, which signifies a certain way of conducting one's life. Now, this distinction has been picked up by contemporary philosophers who claim that we may not, we should not actually give prominence to this bare life in this regard of other concerns that make up quality life. Now, one might say that if we concentrate too much on biological life, we settle for a kind of animal life, a mere life, not a good life, not a meaningful life. My problem is that how could anyone think of other concerns and values if biological life is eliminated? And this is a concern now with the health crisis that we have. And in my view, these thinkers who show this content for this so-called bare life have a very presumptuous attitude, arrogant attitude and paternalistic. And they look down upon people who only have their bare life as a valuable thing. And so I think it is very disrespectful to look down on people who simply try to survive. And I think we should actually stand in awe at this subjective assessment of well-being and do whatever we can to help. Thank you very much, Basso. This is very interesting, especially given the fact that the world happiness reports are based on data from subjective evaluations of well-being. They are based on data from life evaluations coming from the Gallup world poll. And this is the basis of the annual rankings of the happiness report. And they find that individuals with higher levels of interpersonal and institutional trust fare significantly better than others when negative situations occur. And these negative situations, including ill health, like the one that we are facing now and your discussion on what is essential and what is respectful to be considered essential is very central in this discussion. We will come back to you, Basso, with questions and answers. Thank you very much. I would like now, Professor Andreas Papandreou, Professor of Political Economy, to open up his microphone and try to introduce us into the economics of well-being. And in particular, point out the weaknesses of gross domestic product of GDP as a measure of well-being. What are the weaknesses of GDP and what are the weaknesses of the preference-based approach to well-being that has dominated our work as economists? And words in general of the failings of methodological individuals and how all these can be connected to our way towards sustainability, to our efforts towards the sustainability transition and the implementation of the SDGs. Well, thank you, Phoebe. Quite a lot of questions there, but I think I'll manage within a short period of time to at least say a few things about all of those questions. Also, let me make a brief correction. I did interrupt the previous webinar, but I'm not a prime minister. I look very much like the ex-prime minister of Greece. He happens to be my brother, but that just so that people don't think that the ex-prime minister of Greece is speaking right now. Okay, well, let me try to address those issues. And of course, they tie in also, I think, nicely with some of the comments and deeper discussions provided by our philosopher colleagues. Governments often measure their success by GDP growth. So the pursuit of GDP growth strongly influences policy decisions. Now, to the extent that GDP measures an economy's capacity for generating material wealth, it does capture an important element of human well-being. But there's always been a debate about whether it is a good or adequate measure of human well-being. The father of GDP, Simon Kuznetz, was the first to highlight the dangers of treating GDP as a measure of welfare. And in fact, he said, and I'm quoting here, distinctions must be kept in mind between quantity and quality of growth and between the short and long run. Goals for more growth should specify more growth for what and for what. So one can offer actually a long list of important elements of well-being that are completely missed by the GDP index that I will mention for reasons of brevity, sustainability, even in purely material terms, in other words, the continual growth of material goods, is not ensured by a series of high GDP growth rates. It's not the quantity of growth, but the quality that matters too. Financial crises that are often preceded by high rates of growth are in fact a harsh reminder of how misleading and ephemeral these achievements can be. Of course, we in Greece did enjoy high rates of growth of GDP prior to the major crisis in 2010 for us, and that precisely shows how unsustainable growth can be. Now, a second point, an economy can grow fast for many years and still destroy its natural and environmental capital. Climate change is the most dramatic example of how wrong we could be with a narrow focus on GDP. Inequality in its many forms is not captured by GDP. Inequality can erode the political and institutional foundations of an economy, and we are certainly witnessing this with the rise of populism. Social capital in the form of well-functioning institutions and citizens trust that you mentioned Phoebe in terms of the Happiness Report, and I'll mention again soon, including the capacity of a society to protect its most vulnerable is not captured by GDP. The COVID epidemic has attested to fundamental failings even in our otherwise wealthy economies to adequately protect its citizens and especially its most vulnerable citizens. Now, SDG8 recognizes the importance of economic growth, but overcomes a narrow focus by adding the terms inclusive and sustainable in front of economic growth. Now, moving to some of the other questions in terms of the weaknesses of the preference-based approach of economics and also eventually on its focus on the individual, which I think is part of the problem. The weaknesses in GDP as a measure partly reflect problems in a traditional emphasis in economics on individual preference attainment as the overriding measure of welfare. Richard Easterlin, the father of happiness economics, noted in 1974 that data on subjective well-being happiness did not increase over time as income increased. Now, following that tradition, STSN has been publishing an annual World Happiness Report, and as Phoebe mentioned in its most recent report, it found that higher levels of social and institutional trust are essentially as important in raising happiness and reducing inequality. And also behavioral and experimental economics have suggested that people may fail to act in ways that advance their own roles. So two key points here are that income alone may not be an adequate measure of happiness and that even if individuals appear to be able to better attain their individual wants through higher incomes, they may not be happier. Now, again, another point raised earlier by I think both Stelios and Vassal, the Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has emphasized, so as I said, Amartya Sen emphasized other weaknesses in a single-minded focus on attaining individual wants or even happiness. He points out that people in poverty may adapt their preferences to make life bearable. The ease with which society can improve their sense of attainment or even happiness does not justify providing little. Ensuring many freedoms and capabilities for all are critical elements of our well-being. For instance, protection against epidemics and adequate health provision, protection against hunger and unemployment, participation in political decisions, protection of liberties. These aspects of well-being may enhance our subjective sense of well-being. So happiness indicators may help reveal many other dimensions of our well-being. Some of these are the objective accounts that both Vassal and Stelios mentioned. Now, there's another aspect of malleability of preference that can be positive and needs considering. Economics generally takes its starting point with individuals and sees societies as an aggregation of individuals. However, sociology and philosophy reverse the equation. Society comes first and the individual is a social construct. We are born into a society and we are raised, educated, molded by those around us in the language and norms of that society. Now, in this view, our preferences are malleable because finding a way to cooperate with others is more important than simply advancing a particular personal desire. Our characters and goals are shaped by our need to interact with others and gain their respect and become effective as part of a group. We identify with groups and even sacrifice for our team. In a sense, we form our character to solidify our reputation for social interactions. The individuals are fundamentally a social construct and that that they are doesn't mean that it diminishes the normative importance of individuals, but it does highlight a weakness in unduly emphasizing preference attainment as being the measure of well-being. It suggests a need to better understand how our institutions strengthen our capacity as citizens and allow us to attain goods that we could not as isolated individuals including friendship, support, respect, appreciation, participation in common endeavors and forming common goals and preferences. Now, perhaps it would help us better appreciate also the importance of many institutions like the United Nations, the World Health Organization or Democracy that are being attacked and potentially eroded by populists like Trump and Orban. These institutions are a reflection of what we've built together and a test to our capacity to cooperate. It is our capacity to cooperate that will give us the means to address many of our sustainability challenges like climate change and epidemics. I presume I see you Phoebe because I've gone on too long. It's just the time that I intervene and I I continue the discussion and then we're coming back to you with questions from the audience. Indeed, the dependence of people on social environment and institutions like you said it's a crucial result. It's one of the main results of these happiness reports and it is one failing of the current economic paradigm if it cannot incorporate that dependence in the economic analysis and speaking about economic analysis I would like now to proceed to more practical aspects of how our way of understanding the society and the economy will allow us to become sustainable and face even the current crisis in a sustainable way. It is well documented that the measures that can help solve the health crisis that we are now facing can make the economic crisis worse and vice versa. The aim of health related measures mainly strict social isolation is to spread the pandemic out over time and effectively flatten the care for the pandemic. Flattening the care for the pandemic by time for raising the capacity of our healthcare sector but this exact act, this flattening of the infection curve, inevitably, steepens the macroeconomic recession curve and puts in danger all supply change including those that are crucial for our survival food and medicine. So my question to Professor Betis who is working on financial analysis and financial markets and is also an analyst of public responses to crisis. My main question is what can we do to avoid this pandemic turning into a major economic and financial crisis that will long outlast the health crisis and should we now worry again about the level of public debt, Professor Betis? Yes, hello to everybody. I think the best way to to gain a perspective of the whole situation is to realize that we face a trade-off between health risk and economic risk which means that in order to reduce health risk by one unit we have to increase economic risk by x units and the question is how large this x is if it is prohibitively large then we have to choose between life itself and the quality of life. The problem is that we don't know much about the characteristics of the virus so it's very difficult to make any reliable forecast for the time being. So the big risk is that we are going to face multiple waves of this epidemic which means that once the lockdown measures are relaxed the virus will reemerge which in turn will require the policymakers to reintroduce the lockdown measures and so on and so forth. So we have just entered in the charter territory in the context of which we are going to face some tough choices. Speaking of the debt and the debt sustainability I am afraid that this is the number one problem of the world economy the the total debt both private and public debt and the bad thing the unlucky the unlucky thing is that the world economy faced the serious debt problem already before the coronavirus crisis and the current debt problem has its origins in the wake of the great financial crisis of 2008 what happened then due to the financial crisis of 2008 central banks around the world tried to fight the recession first by adopting standard expansionary monetary policies such as interest rate cuts however these policymakers the monetary authorities soon realized that these conventional measures were not sufficient to produce economic recovery so they had to invent the so-called non-standard monetary policy measures such as quantitative easing. Quantitative easing was also necessary in order to bail out the American banks which were severely hit by the crisis. Now what is quantitative easing and what are its effects what its effects are quantitative easing means that the central bank buys long-term sovereign bonds and other financial assets such as mortgage back securities in order to bring long-term interest rates down by doing so however they set the policy makers the monetary authorities set another mechanism in motion namely yield hunting what is yield hunting institutional investors international investors around the world such as insurance companies pension funds or private investors could not find adequate yield in risk-free investments now that the for example that the yield of 10-year government bond if it approached zero and I'm an insurance company or a pension fund I'm trying to find other sources of yield so I started to invest in assets like corporate bonds including risky corporate bonds which offered me some decent yield but the compensation for this yield is to undertake huge excessive financial risk so by buying these corporate bonds or other instruments I drive the yields of these financial assets further down so at the end of the day we end up in a world that the interest rates or the yields of most financial assets are in the vicinity of zero it's important to bear in mind that speaking of the sovereign debt most european northern european countries face negative yields negative nominal yields which is a phenomenal very difficult to explain in the past we faced we had witnessed the periods in which the real yields were negative meaning that the nominal yield minus the inflation rate is negative but a period of nominal negative yields is very hard to find in the history of the of the financial world so uh what so companies and the private sector found found out that they could borrow cheaply and not surprisingly they did so on a massive scale so at the end of the day both governments and the companies and households piled up a huge amount of debt and that was the situation before the financial before before the coronavirus crisis now we are entering another thing to to bear in mind that is that the the the central bank action in the form of the quantitative easing cultivated cultivated the bailout culture and the culture that is which may may be uh put in the terms of its too big to fail so uh but the the problem is that that most bailouts before they have the 2008 financial crisis tended to be less than 10 billion uh dollars in today's inflation adjusted term the great financial crisis moved us from 10 billion being the amount of the bailout package to a trillion being the new bailout currency now the new covid 19 crisis has moved us towards 10 10 trillion plus big being the bailout currency globally so these extremely low policy rates that uh was followed during the last decade has left us with ever higher and their higher debt requiring uh the bailout numbers to also go higher and higher on any outside shock so uh the intervention the the amount of money that the covid 19 shock will require is in the vicinity of multiple of trillion of dollars of intervention to protect the current system so the problem is that uh the debt uh generates new debt and we are entering a a vice a vicious circle a vicious cycle in the context of which in order to to sustain the current debt you need to create more debt and the problem is that uh when the debt servicing uh ratio is is relatively low which means that as long as the interest rates are low then the debt overhung is not it's not such a severe problem but uh if the interest rates go go up for example interest rates might go up because of arising the risk premium around the world then debt servicing ratios be the debt servicing becomes even more difficult and uh uh this is when the sustainability issues arise currently uh we don't expect the interest rates in the advanced economies to go up because the mismatch between savings and investment is is likely to persist we have the so-called global savings glut a lot of savings and very very very few uh demand for investments but the problem and the problem is going to to to show in the emerging markets debt uh emerging markets are now facing severe debt servicing problems uh because um because of the covid 19 crisis there is a huge outflow of capital from emerging markets which makes uh which makes the their life very difficult in terms of financing their deficits both budget deficits and current account deficits and the problem becomes even worse because uh because of the collapsing commodity prices uh the last two or three days we witnessed another uh paradox which is um a commodity uh having a negative price and not any commodity but oil yesterday and the day before yesterday the price of oil entered negative territory if you believe it so we live in a world full of paradoxes we we live in a world in which the nominal interest rates are negative we live in a world in which commodity prices become negative and the we the the only reason that we don't start screaming out what's going on here is because we are getting used to this paradoxes slow by slow uh and because we get used to them we don't we don't treat them like paradoxes anymore but they are so the world is not well well prepared the economic world is not well prepared is not fit enough to withstand the new crisis the new the looming crisis of covid 19 and uh I personally am quite pessimistic about the the degrees of freedom that the policy makers have to to to respond effectively to this to this crisis and also bear in mind that uh we are in a totally different the initial conditions that we now face are quite different than those or before the financial crisis of 2008 uh back then there were plenty of monetary space the interest rates were five five percent so the monetary authorities the who were had the facility of reducing the interest rates from five percent to zero percent nowadays the interest rates are zero or in the case of the of the of the euro rates are negative so the monetary policy space is severely limited and so is the fiscal the fiscal space with the exception of Germany and some other northern european countries uh the fiscal space in greece in italy in spain even in the united states is very limited so the dealing or fighting this crisis is going to prove a very difficult task and I think that's my question thank you very much negatas we will come back to you with questions you didn't sound very optimistic with regards to the ability of public finances to respond to our current crisis and you indicate the difficulties that have to do with the uh the uh fiscal space and the continuing uh new paradoxes that we need to face uh during um in our way towards uh facing this new crisis and it seems that we have a situation uh that um it will be uh really difficult to avoid another death crisis and it will not be easy to recover from this uh health and economic crisis in a way that it is sustainable in a way that makes sure that we direct finance towards those that are socially economically and environmentally sustainable with such those that have a profile of being able to support sustainable solutions both uh with regards to finances with regards to the economy to with regards to social cohesion and also environmental uh resilience and um it seems like uh institutions and politics will be uh crucial in this aspect and for this reason I would like to ask my colleague at the Athens University of Economics and Business Professor George Pagulatos to open his camera and discuss with us the politics of our way towards implementing Agenda 2030 and the and also whether such a sustainability transition can ease our way forward towards recovering from the current crisis. George uh as I mentioned before one of the uh messages that at least I took from the response to COVID-19 crisis uh is that the response the measures came from national states while international organizations seem to lack in terms of explicit imminent response. What is the relevance of state in handling um crisis what is the relevance of state in being able to tackle systemic change the one that we seem to be needing especially after what we heard from uh both Andreas and Nikitas on the mounting paradoxes that we are facing in the economic and financial world and what is the relevance uh in general of political factors in sustainable development what's the relevance of global multilateral institutions uh what's the relevance of European integration for both our sustainability transition but also our ability to respond to crisis existential crisis like the current crisis that we are facing and um what is effectively the importance of cultural and value factors such as trust these are questions that are also coming from our audience we are receiving many questions that have to do with the institutional capacity of nations and their ability and the ability of these institutions to contribute to um happiness and sustainability so George the floor is yours thank you that's a that's a big play um to start from trust your final point um and it also goes back to a lot of what has been said by the previous speakers uh trust is about allowing people to cooperate it's about allowing people to trust the main institutions with which their societies operate trust is important in that sense in delivering a broader cooperation both in the business sphere and in the voluntary sphere in the in the non-market sphere of society but it's also very important in allowing people to operate as citizens uh with the minimum and necessary minimum of trust vis-a-vis the government and vis-a-vis the public institutions and we see this kind of of need today much stronger even in the eyes of those who doubted it uh when it comes to the moment of citizens um taking the kind of um instructions uh that they are receiving by the governments and the health experts and following them in order to save lives and to save their life among others um you need a level of trust in society to be able to trust the government instead of a populist demagogue uh or to trust a health expert instead of a shard and of course the problem is when your government is run by a populist demagogue and we have this problem in in certain countries and we see how they are failing also in terms of government response we see that uh in in the trump administration we also see that um uh to a certain extent uh in the Boris Johnson administration um the this crisis has been the moment for nation states I think there's little doubt about that uh states are formidable machines of policy engineering and crisis response at moments of crisis citizens tend to turn to the state's businesses tend to turn to the states in normal times businesses want competition they especially competition the the the short that favors their own interest sometimes they also want protection but at moments of crisis everyone turns to the state for the kind of a minimal backstop or the kind of defense of last resort that the state can provide and and this is no um there's no different in this crisis which is much more acute compared to the to the great depression the the in fact no it's it's a comparable to the great depression it's more acute compared to the 2008 crisis because it's a crisis that is hitting both supply and demand in terms of economy and it's also a kind of a uh it's it's a life existential challenge for people uh and therefore the importance of governments as provider of this protection and security rises even more so now that said um it is also evident that governments alone cannot do it cannot do the job because this is a crisis that the pandemic that knows no borders and it requires cooperation between states between governments it requires the um mobilization of global multilateral institutions such as the world health organizations such as um un agencies um it requires uh collective responses uh for many reasons in order to share scientific results between government agencies and the epistemic communities scientific communities in order to protect supply chains global supply chains in order to make sure that medical equipment crosses borders and reaches the countries so the regions where it is most needed all this needs cooperation between states and i would i would say that it also needs thriving multilateral institutions um and the the most um formidable in that sense is the european union itself european union is um a unique historical example of a voluntary cooperation between governments between independent states to the extent of pooling significant degrees of the national sovereignty uh and transferring them to supranational bodies and institutions and functions it is the most complete and integrated version of a multilateral and intergovernmental organization it is not as complete and as deep as a real federation would be would not have a real united states of europe um as we have the united states of america but uh it was quite effective um taken into account these limitations it was very effective in coordinating actions between governments not at the first moment but it built up this effectiveness um and it is also i think quite um responsive to the needs of particular governments especially taking into account that the areas where collective action is needed are areas where governments have not given competences to the european union because health policy is primarily a national competence a competence of national governments and fiscal policy where a lot needs to be done is also primarily a competence of national governments and the european union is not a complete economic union and that is an unfortunate event because today uh we need the kind of micro economically important fiscal response at the european level that will be able to match the formidable initiatives that have been taken at the pan european level by the european central bank so um we are at a time where we need collective action by multilateral institutions where our european union um needs to strengthen this position in terms of policy autonomy and in terms of policy initiative and we also need to think outside the box in terms of traditional rules and ways of operating because this is a crisis that has turned the world upside down as some of the previous speakers have said uh priorities that we had policy objectives that we had over the previous decades uh today have been reversed um our concern is not inflation anymore it's a liquidity trap our concern is not to maintain a fiscal discipline target it's in fact to provide the fiscal ammunition that is needed in order to restart the economies and so forth and so on um in these times it is i think a vital challenge not to allow the importance of the state to degenerate into an ascendance of nationalism and populism because there is a national there's a natural tendency of citizens to seek protection in the national government and this can very easily transmute into a policy of scapegoating other countries blaming the chinese or the americans or the europeans or the germans or the italians uh and this is a very vicious and slippery path we do not need another slide of humanity in europe uh to the slippery and nasty road of nationalism and populism uh and especially we do not need to go back to the time where the global community did not have global multilateral institutions where we did not have the world health organization or the un agencies or the various agreements and treaties that bring countries and people together and allow them to react much more effectively to prices such as the one that we are now going through thank you very much george i am also a a deep believer in the abilities of of the european union and i also think that it comes in when the challenge is too big for national states to handle and another challenge that is is concurrently being faced simultaneously with the health crisis is the environmental crisis uh these um are two challenges very different from one another but uh connected in that there is serious scientific speculation that covid-19 might be uh connected to climate crisis uh due to uh its relation to the loss of biodiversity it's been speculated that deforestation drives wild animals closest to the human population and as a result it increases the likelihood that zoonotic viruses will make the cross species live and for this reason i bring into our discussion about happiness sustainability and our ability to face uh crisis uh existential crisis i bring into the picture the us the environmental aspects um it's been many years since the intergovernmental panel on climate change has worn the global warming will likely accelerate the emergence of new viruses and it is quite important to bring into the picture how we understand our environmental sustainability and how we integrate environmental sustainability into our into our socio-political and economic systems and for this reason i would like to call in my colleague from the Aristotelian University of Festaloniki uh a hydraulics engineer professor in hydrology engineering uh to introduce environmental and natural resource management into our discussion Nico um how do you think the protection of the environment is related to sustainable growth and human well-being and why is it important to ensure the resilience of our renewable and even non-renewable resources into our measurement of sustainable growth and well-being and also why is the resilience of infrastructure infrastructure related to the way we manage our interaction with nature society and nature important to sustaining or even improving human well-being well um thank you very much Fivi uh i i need to start by saying that i really enjoyed the previous discussion and all these issues that were raised by uh our colleagues are very very interesting and very to the point uh while regarding the environment and the aspects that you already raised um i think we need to start by emphasizing the importance of aligning with the environment in order to achieve and improve our way of life and our well-being you know throughout time humans always consider the environment as an exhaustive pool of supplies that were available just to support our way of living sometimes many times if i may say over exploiting limited resources in a constant demand for much more than we needed while our population was relatively small that was not actually a very severe problem but now that the population of the earth is increasing in an uh uncontrolled rate this has become in the last decades a very very significant problem uh the need for space the need for food for energy for water and for other environmental resources increasing in a range much higher than the rate of renewability of natural resources this of course leads to leads to a constant degradation of the environment and this is something we we actually realize well what we need to actually realize in this this stage is the fact that it is not only the environment that is degradating through this process but also our prospect for a better way of life we need to realize that an inclusive and sustainable economic growth is the only way to ensure human well-being as this is the title of our discussion right now we need to adjust our needs related to natural resources to the level of renewability of these resources uh this means that we need to establish a balance between what is naturally replenishing the environment and what is being withdrawn from it to cover our needs this is actually an either a win-win or a lose-lose situation I mean if we respect the environment then it will provide for us and help us improve our way of living if we don't then it will be the other way around it will further degrade and so will our well-being sometimes we think that it is already too late for the for the environment for the protection or the rehabilitation of the environment well this may be the case at some level I mean it may be late but I think it's not too late what we experienced during the past a few months with this global disaster the pandemic of COVID-19 was really something unspeakable so many people have died so many people have been seriously ill the economy as we already heard is threatened by a global recession I'm sure though that we have all noticed from our house windows since we are all in our houses these days that there was actually a positive change to some environmental factors at least those with immediate response like air quality or water quality or noise and several other factors this means that the degradation of the environment is still reversible and this is something very important to mark so as they say why waste a good crisis I mean we can keep the positive impacts to the environment that this disastrous pandemic had caused and try to pursue them in terms of peace of course after we deal with the virus so we can still pursue a rehabilitation of the environment and a better environmental status better environmental conditions it's not very very late still some things are reversible and I don't want to take too much time so I will make a small remark about the the last thing that you mentioned the importance of infrastructure I'm a civil engineer and as a civil engineer I'm very much involved in the design and construction of infrastructure sometimes as users of infrastructure we take for granted that when we need water we just turn the tap and we have water when we need energy we just turn the switch and we have energy and so on but we need to consider what does this come from in order to ensure that in order to ensure this this provision we need factories we need networks we need plans we need treatment plans we need several infrastructure all these infrastructures are interventions to the environment and we need to consider these interventions as part of the environment in order to ensure the environmental protection and all the aspects of the environment that we mentioned earlier we need to consider them with respect to the environment and in alignment with the environment and just to make an example just to close with an example we know that according to the Paris Agreement and the European agreed deal we need to change our energy sources from fossil from carbon to renewables in this way we will be significantly reduce greenhouse emissions and limit the extension and the development of climate change while one of these alternatives this renewable alternatives is harvesting with energy wind farms though are not without actually they have significant environmental impacts and their intervention to the environment often causes reactions from people living in these in these areas so what's our choice do we stick with fossil fuels and continue to to pollute the the environment or do we change to invoke to renewable sources taking into consideration that some of them also have environmental impacts the goal actually is to change the environmental energy sources but following a very detailed plan in order to to also reduce their environmental impacts is not easy but after all what is exactly Nicos is not easy and it is time I agree with you that we start investing in what makes our socio socioeconomic system resilience to various crises and to do that we need to lay the foundation for a green circular economy that is anchored in nature based solutions and geared towards public well-being I do agree that it is time for our economic system to change and the good news is like you said we have our blueprint we have agenda 2030 UN agenda 2030 and the 17 sustainable development goals together with the european commission uh green deal so we have a way forward and we can make the change I would like now to quickly um attend to questions that we received I also want to tell you that I've integrated the questions from the audience in the questions that I address to the different speakers I now have a question for professor bts which says can you elaborate a bit further on modern monetary theory and explain whether it is possible um to answer uh the to respond to the current economic emergency within the framework of that theory uh can you give a brief answer to this question uh yes I think we are already implementing the the doctrines of the recommendations of the modern monetary theory basically the question is uh uh that relates to what I said earlier about quantitative easing the question is whether quantitative easing is that monetization and what is that monetization monetization is something quite uh simple uh I am the government and I run a budget deficit my expense is greater than the tax revenues so how do I find I how do I finance my my deficit I issue bonds the government bonds and the the the healthy way is to to find international investors who are willing to buy these bonds uh they're not they're not so healthy ways to have my central bank to print money in order to buy these bonds so this this this this uh approach uh I mean having my central bank uh printing new money to buy government bonds is usually referred to as dead monetization and it's a bad thing it's usually perceived to be a bad thing because it will uh the orthodox economists believe that this procedure will inevitably produce inflation or hype inflation for that matter now uh it's worth emphasizing that Ben Bernanke uh when the global financial crisis of 2008 began uh assure the congress that uh the quantitative easing measures were not dead monetization and the difference between dead monetization and quantitative easing is that the latter is temporary whereas that monetization is permanent in other words the the increase in the Fed's balance sheet from quantitative easing was planned to be of a temporary nature and when the crisis is over the central bank would start selling the the sovereign bonds back in the secondary market now uh the quantitative easing uh actually the the money then the newly printed money from from the central bank during the the last 10 years basically did not reach the real economy they ended up in uh buying financial assets why is it is a complicated question we don't have the time to analyze but but the the money the the the new money that central banks printed found its way to to stocks and bonds not to the real economy the monetary modern monetary theory advocates say uh let's do quantitative easing for the people and uh what is that it's more or less what i said before that the the government can borrow uh infinite amount of money and having this central bank of the country to buy this uh this this debt instruments and with this newly printed money the the government will do uh will implement fiscal expansion of any scale that she likes that that's that that's the main element of the modern monetary theory and of course of course any government any government with the fiat money can do that provided that um somehow can control the inflation and pressure thank you very much uh Nikita there are so many questions popping up uh Andreas are you there uh the audience is asking can we expect the experts uh in economy social and environmental sciences to provide directions for modifications of jobs and creation of new jobs what do you think about that in order to respond to the current prices that that we are facing health economic but also environmental well um uh the short answer is yes i do i i do think that uh economists uh can think of ways in fact that's what they're already doing in many respects of finding ways uh and in a particularly challenging time because we're on the one hand actually shutting down the economy at the same time we're seeing unemployment rates go up because of that need to address the epidemic so we have this conflicting interest of trying to keep people employed but at the same time keeping them away from the job so that's that's kind of the the new challenge um one way of doing that of course for the short term is to focus on jobs that are needed right now to to address the the the recent crisis so that means uh support delivery of the goods when that's not possible by the market itself or not adequately fast support the production of services masks ventilators increase increase the the employment of people in the health care system increase the employment of people who are will be able to provide some kind of support and monitoring of people who are uh uh in threat of being infected so um that's a particular challenge because we can't simply say we're going to reopen the traditional elements of the economy to traditional sectors of the economy although part of the way we're going to respond now in opening part of the sectors it depend will depend on a good plan which economists have a role to play there on how we start partially opening up sectors uh making sure we can test adequately fast um to to to um make making sure we have the capacity in terms of testing units and and other protective gear for services um making adjustments even in airlines in terms of the seating so that people keep their distance so there's a lot of things that can be done and we have to kind of both capture the supply side and also support goes from the demand side in terms of people who are presently unemployed to have the the funding they need to get what what is important for them more broadly speaking of course you know we we can extend that more broadly and and coming back to the point that was made earlier we can also use the the new phase of fiscal support to get to shift the economy towards a more sustainable shift so not forgetting our more long-term objectives and in fact part of the problem with the with the with the epidemic is that we forgot that this is a long-term issue so we're gonna have to ensure in the future that we're prepared for these kinds of potential crises yeah I agree with you Andrea and I and if I may add I think that now is the time for financial institutions and governments to embrace EU taxonomy for sustainable investments that was out in 2019 and to face out fossil fuels by deploying renewable energy technologies to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies amounting to 5.2 trillion per annum and redirect these subsidies to green and smart climate mitigation and adaptation infrastructure projects invest in circular and low carbon economies shift from industrial to regenerative agriculture exploit the limits of digital revolution and reduce our transport needs so this crisis COVID crisis has shown that we can do it and it is quite important to understand that our generation has lived through a number of crisis financial refugee crisis climate crisis the COVID crisis if we continue attempting to face each new crisis with the same socio-economic model that gave rise to this crisis we are going to fail so what we need is big thinking systemic change and try to vision our future in in a way that is both financially economically environmentally and socially resilient inclusive that is leaving no one behind and I think this can be summarized this vision it has already been summarized in the UN agenda for 2030 the 17 SDGs and the European Green Deal and within this framework we need to structure our response to this huge health and economic crisis that we are facing

Why do some entrepreneurs succeed in their business while some others don't? Do they have special talents that others do not possess? Perhaps. They are just fortunate. Well, successful entrepreneurs didn't achieve their success by mere luck. No, they developed certain traits and habits which eventually led to self-growth and business development. Albert Einstein once said that try not to become a man of success, rather become a man of value. Being a man of value means equipping yourself with certain skills that will make you successful, both in life and in business. In this video, I'll share with you the 10 traits that define entrepreneurial success. This, I believe, will help you become a successful person. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other interesting videos like this. 1. Passion Passion is the most important trait of a successful entrepreneur. They love what they do and they are willing to put extra hours of work to ensure that they get what they want. It is a pleasure for them to see the results of their labor, which goes well beyond the money received. John Bon Jovi, an American singer-songwriter, record producer, philanthropist, and actor said and I quote, Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate. When you are passionate about your business, you'll push yourself, motivate yourself and your staff until you achieve your dreams and vision for your business. 2. Creativity It takes creativity to identify a problem or a need somewhere and come up with ideas to help solve the problem and new and creative ways to repurpose the items for marketing them to new industries. According to Karen Litzinger, a career coach in Pittsburgh, employers want workers with out-of-the-box ideas. They want employees to be able to not only carry out assignments, but also come up with better ways of doing things. Successful entrepreneurs are creative thinkers, finding pleasant ways to present new products to their customers. 3. Successful entrepreneurs are never greatly impacted by the defeats they encounter. To them, failure is a step in stone. It is an opportunity to learn and get better. Also, rather than creating a plan B alternative, they focus so hard on how to grow and promote their business because they are determined to succeed regardless of the obstacles and challenges that they encounter. Successful entrepreneurs do not believe that something cannot be done because they are not wired to believe that some things are not possible. Tommy LaSorda, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, coach and manager, said the difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination. 4. Proactiveness Successful entrepreneurs are always on the lookout for new ideas and opportunities that can help them grow their business. Chris Kemper, CEO of Investment Group Palmito, said the successful entrepreneurs keep their eyes and ears open for an opportunity to capitalize on. In other words, they are proactive. They are aware of a change and make it happen before they have to respond to it. 5. Open-mindedness The world keeps evolving with innovations springing forth from different corners. So to be successful, entrepreneurs have to grow and keep an open mind to the changes that take place around them. They also have to be open-minded to serve their customers well. Also, open-minded entrepreneurs understand that each situation and event in a business opportunity and there are new ideas that continually come out regarding new potential businesses – people's skills, efficiency and workflows. So, they can direct the focus of events and happenings around them to us the goals and objectives of their business. 6. Confidence A successful entrepreneur does not doubt his abilities and either do they allow circumstances to affect their self-esteem. They do not ask questions about whether they can succeed or not because they are confident in the knowledge they have. They are confident that what they know can help their business ideas succeed. It is this confidence that exudes in everything they do. 7. Discipline That they work for themselves is not an excuse to lazy around and do things only when they feel like doing them. No, successful entrepreneurs are disciplined and accountable. They focus their energy on making the business work and eliminating the distractions or obstacles to their goals. They are disciplined to always take new steps every day towards the achievement of their goals and objectives. Also, successful entrepreneurs discipline themselves properly so that they don't misuse their business funds. They understand the need to put back money generated by the business into the business so that they can grow their business properly. 8. Self-Starter Successful entrepreneurs know that if something has to be done for the growth of their business, they have to start it themselves. They don't sit around waiting for others to do it or hoping that someone else will take the initiative to do it. They don't wait to get permission from others, instead they go for it. It could be taking big decisions that can help move the company forward or taking calculated risks and the likes. 9. Flexibility Aside from the core values of their companies, successful entrepreneurs make the running of their business flexible enough to change their strategies if need be. Also, they adapt to change easily and solve problems as they arise. They are receptive to other people's needs, opinions and ideas and being open-minded to feedback from your manager. 10. Networking Every successful entrepreneur knows how to network with people and other organizations whether they are in their fields or not. They know how to connect with people genuinely, not for selfish reasons but to help solve a problem and be there for others when they truly need it. They are empathetic beings and this is what entrepreneurship is about, helping people solve a need or problem. Doing this helps improve their relationship with others and this in turn affects their business positively in terms of recommendations, promotion and publicity and of course the likes.

UC2RbTnQ9sr6r1FgbFKf-fOA	Park Rapids Girls Hockey Beats Bemidji		[ "Lakeland Public Television", "LPTV", "PBS", "Bemidji", "Minnesota", "MN" ]	2017-01-06T05:27:17	2024-02-05T16:25:26	58	Vz0mGF0HrQU	Hitting the ice now for some girls hockey. Bemidji hosting Park Rapids. Panthers get on the board first. Alexis Kennedy scores off the rebound opportunity. 1-0 Park Rapids. Things would get a little chippy in the second. Brooklyn DeLap makes the save. And Taylor Pingry stakes in. Skates in hard jacks. Take a little exception to that. That set the tone here for the rest of the game later in the period. Hannah Eller finds Olivia Johnson, who lights the lamp to tie things at 1. Then five minutes later, the Panthers would get the lead right back. Paige Meir cleans up the missed shot in front of the net. 2-1 Park Rapids. Paige DeLahunt would tie things up for the Jacks in the third. But the Panthers, they would score two unanswered goals. They win tonight 4-2 over Bemidji.

UCL0p-yQgxQKKRrMwGU0sgQg	Leveraging Social Media to Flatten Your Classroom Walls (2012)	K12 Online Conference 2012 presentation by Paula Naugle and Jan Wells, Getting Started strand. Most teachers would love to communicate and collaborate with other classes but are unsure just how to begin this process. How do you go about finding other classes to connect with? Where do you find projects that can be used for collaboration? How do you cope with time zones? How can social media help you flatten your classroom walls and enable you to incorporate the 4C's of collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking into your weekly lessons? Find out how Paula and Jan found each other in 2009 and have had their two classes collaborating ever since. Learn how these two veteran educators have used social media sites such as Ning, Twitter, Facebook, Edmodo, Google and Google HangOut, and Skype to collaborate and communicate with many more classrooms each year.

Each morning I check my email before heading off to school where I am a fourth grade classroom teacher in Kansas. In my inbox I responded to emails, one from Paula about scheduling a time for our classes to do an introductory Skype call as a get-to-know-you activity at the beginning of the school year. The other was a request from a Minnesota fourth grade teacher looking for a partner class to be guest readers in each other's class during the upcoming Global Read Aloud Project of the book The One and Only Ivan. Another email was a discussion notice from the classroom 2.0 Ning that a comment had been posted. I'd also received an email that was a Twitter direct message from Rebecca, whom I met at ISD-12 in San Diego, wanting to bounce around an idea for connecting our classes. As I do the same thing in Louisiana before heading off to school, I find an email from Jan reminding me that our classes will be doing a Skype call to Stack Oreo Cookies for the O-R-E-O project which is hosted by Jen Wagner in California as part of her projects by Jen. I also have a Google Calendar email reminder about moderating 4th Chat on Twitter and add moto notifications from my students who were replying to assignments. My Skype I am reminds me that my class will be doing a mystery Skype call with another 4th grade class. I also have a Google Chat notice from Bill Kay reminding me that a group I am connected with will be completing a conference proposal about our global classroom projects in a Google Hangout that evening. Is this how your day begins? How did we get so connected? Let us share with you the various social media tools we leverage to flatten our classroom walls. We both began finding connections on NINGS way back when. In fact that is how Paula and I met on a NING in the summer of 2009 and started figuring out how we could connect our classrooms and collaborate with each other. Some NINGS you might consider joining to find connections are the Classroom 2.0 NING, the Flat Classroom Project NING, the Flipped Learning Network NING, and the Educators PLN NING to just name a few. From there we started using Skype as our tool of choice to connect our two classes because our 4th graders did not need to sign up for anything. We simply set a date to Skype and put our students in front of the webcam and it took off from there. Of course we learned how to turn a Skype call into a learning call, assign Skype jobs to our students, and set up an Edmeto Skype collaboration group so that some of our students could back channel during our Skype calls. We have used Skype to flatten our classroom walls by sharing poems, readings, songs, as you will see in this video. Also doing collaborative projects such as the OREO Project and in math, data collection and graphing, or having authors Skype into our classroom as you will see in this video. Good morning boys and girls, how y'all doing? Good! Yay! Good morning Mr. Jerry! Good morning! I am Skyping in from Florida and I want to show you today how I wrote one of my many activity booklets. This one today was on the Energy Kit. I've written many books on energy, on lawyer, on job awareness, on careers, electric history, where the little lightbulb gifts is juiced. Now we do magazine books exploring your environment. One great event happened recently about the environment. Every April we celebrate. Right now I'm working on a book on water, revising it. And what was our big project we did for Earth Day, Nicholas? We decorated these bags for Earth Day. What part of Florida are you from? Let's see, I live, I don't know if you know, on the east coast of Florida, south of West Palm Beach, or right near Jupiter Island, where Tiger Woods and Saliti are living. In this next video, Paula's class shares a guest speaker. Mr. Adams, would you please introduce yourselves to us and to Ms. Wells' class in Kansas. Sure. My name is James Adams. I'm here today to talk to you about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. So I hope you get some really good questions about this. I've already given me a lot of questions. Yeah, I sent Mr. Adams our list that we generated, so that he has your list of questions. Can you all see that in Kansas? What are you seeing? Um, a three-headed eagle. Ah, very good. What do you think a three-headed eagle might represent? Just raise your hands. Anybody in Kansas think they have an answer? I have to speak with you all because I'm very passionate about the Constitution. I love the Constitution. I think it's the greatest document that was written in this country's history. Our Constitution was written in 1787. Prior to our Constitution, our country was ruled by the Articles of Confederation, which was basically an agreement between the 13 different states. Unfortunately, it had some problems. It was very, very difficult. Another way we've used Skype to flatten our walls is by having a celebrity speak about anti-bullying. Let's look at this video. Sharing projects our students have done, such as Mardi Gras research, and stayed in a container exhibits. Doing mystery Skype calls, or doing impromptu calls. Next, we decided to increase our personal learning networks and join Twitter. Did you know you could benefit from Twitter by following these steps? Go to www.twitter.com forward slash search. Then type in a hashtag such as pound sign mystery Skype, or pound SS chat, which stands for social studies chat. And you can see the tweets without even having a Twitter account. But you can only truly be connected on Twitter when you join the conversation, which you need an account to do. Then, like us, you can tweet about your mystery Skype calls with other classes or other global projects you are participating in. Get comments on your classroom blog or your student's individual kid blogs by using the hashtag comments for kids. Discover other projects to join like global read aloud and quad blogging. Share surveys your students made to gather data for math classes. Join educational chats, such as LM chat and 4th chat, where we learn so much to take back to our classrooms. Help each other learn new tools over the summer, such as Edmodo and Google Hangouts, because of Twitter conversations we've had. Use a Twitter class account to do live tweeting from a field trip. Tweet about connections made between classes, such as when a student in my class won a Glogster contest sponsored by a student in a Wisconsin classroom. Speaking of Edmodo, Paula and I had our classes start using it during the 2009-2010 school year. Edmodo is another great social media tool you need to leverage for you and your students. You can join communities and share best practices, ask questions, share lesson ideas, find other teachers to connect with. Have your students join collaborative groups to do projects together, identity day or global read aloud, two others to mention are pen pals who write and virtual USA. Also, extend the learning and conversations with a Skype collaboration group for summer reading. Do professional development through Edmodo to find even more connections and ways to flatten your classroom walls. Facebook tends to be the social media site that many think of as a way to connect with family members and high school classmates. Have you ever used Facebook as a professional tool? There are so many ways to use Facebook to find connections and projects. Here are some examples. If you'd like, you can like their page to follow them. International.day Choose to matter Youth choose to matter Classroom blogging buddies For educators by educators Some teachers have a class Facebook page to update parents. Many web tools you use have a Facebook page where educators share innovative ways they use the tools in their classroom. Pinterest burst onto the scene and took the social media world by storm. This site allows you to pin things you find online to boards you create on different topics. It quickly rose to the third largest social media site. When I first discovered it, like many social media sites, I saw it was mostly being used for personal reasons. Boards for wedding planning and crock pot recipes seem to dominate. It didn't take long for me and other educators to see the power of creating educational theme boards and connecting with other like-minded educators on Pinterest. When I need some common core information, Pinterest boards on CCSS is now one of the first places I check. You might also like to check out Global Project Pins, Project Based Learning Boards, My Boards on Pinterest, which are mostly educational, and also Jan's Boards on Pinterest. Do you want to create a sign-up for classes to Skype with or collaboratively on a presentation like Jan and I did for the K-12 online conference? Well, Google Docs is the best way to do that, in my opinion. We have used Google Docs for everything from Skype sign-ups, such as my Mardi Gras Skype one, to locate other classrooms that use a Twitter account, to find motor groups to join, and we've even had our students create surveys using the forms part of Google Docs to gather data for math classes. Over this past summer, we learned how to use Google Hangouts as a video conferencing tool. It is quickly becoming our favorite video conferencing tool. Why? Because it's totally free, and up to 10 people think classes can video conference at one time. We have done several Google Hangouts now as part of our personal professional development, and have even helped other members of our PLN give presentations on Google Hangouts. The quality of Hangouts has remained constant with almost no lag or screen freezes like you often get on Skype. I've been on a Google Hangout where five of the participants were in countries as far away as India and South America, and we had a great connection. In fact, my first mystery location call this year was done via a Google Hangout instead of Skype. Currently, Jan and I and other connected educators from our PLN are working on ways to leverage Google Hangouts to flatten our classroom walls during this school year. Some of the ideas that have been generated include inviting other classes to work on math problems together, having a class of older students read the several classes of younger students at one time, having several classes write a collaborative book together, sharing about your state or region, sharing your best science demo with several other classes, having a guest speaker present to several classes at once. As these projects unfold, we are certain that even more ways will come to mind. We envision Google Hangouts becoming a regular part of our blended classroom during the 2012-2013 school year. Sometimes, after years of collaborating online, you have the opportunity to meet face to face like Paula and I did this summer for ISTI in San Diego. We are setting up a challenge for you. Please fill out this Google form or add to this spreadsheet and tell us the next step you're going to do to use social media to flatten your classroom walls. I find when I tell others I'm going to do something in my classroom, I tend to get it done. Thank you to everyone involved with the K-12 Online Conference 2012 for the opportunity to present this session. As always, with everything we collaborate on, Paula and I have learned some new skills and have fun while doing so. We hope you have enjoyed our presentation and that you will take us up on the challenge.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZfRF8GT8ro", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC-fR7d7Z2HheSUqFxzTq6Ow	3 Ways to Use the IT4IT™ Standard	Mike Fulton Vice Chair, IT4IT™Forum	[ "theopengroup", "IT4IT™", "it4it short video", "it4it short" ]	2017-06-22T14:00:56	2024-02-08T20:31:30	144	vzNjxDz0EFg	Hi, I'm Mike Fulton. I am the vice chair of the IT for IT Forum. I think there's three things that are unique and different about IT for IT. Its business perspective, its service orientation, and its focus on interoperability. The first difference is the business perspective. IT for IT focuses on an IT value chain concept built from a business strategy technique called the Porta Value Chain. And that concept of an IT value chain is something that is very focused on the value that the IT department delivers back to the business. It's something that business executives understand and work with in their own context on a day in and day out basis, and it allows us to talk to the business very effectively when we try to communicate our objectives with IT for IT. The second thing that's different about IT for IT is its service orientation. In today's world, everything is as a service, but most of the IT management frameworks on the market really don't consider all elements of a service orientation. IT for IT was designed with a service orientation in mind. The third thing that I think is unique and different about IT for IT is its focus on interoperability. IT for IT was designed from the start looking at the interoperability of IT management tools and capabilities. That interoperability ensures that the flow of work can happen between different parts of the IT function, and it enables us to be more effective as an IT organization. It's been a pleasure talking with you. I hope that you can take some of the examples I've shared back to your organization and get some of the value out of IT for IT that I've seen in the companies that I've worked with.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzNjxDz0EFg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCAJALvsCWz8Kh6wOySHUJAA	How to write a killer marketing case study for a Drupal project DrupalCon Portland 2022	Speakers: Suhita Ghatak, Vaishnavi Thoguluva Vijayaram, and Shashank Merothiya Writing case studies is one of the most effective methods to generate potential leads. It is a herculean task to transform visitors into prospects, without case studies that ooze inspiration through thought-provoking content. A case study substantiates how your services helped your client by demonstrating real-time results. However, you might find yourself at your wits’ end, while trying to put together a case study that highlights the benefits of implementing a CMS-centered solution. So, how do you derive & showcase precise value from the various modules & distributions that a developer has added to a client website? Writers & marketers, like us, are often in a flux with the never-ending technical documentation & find it extremely challenging to effectively communicate the real value of the project. This session is created to support & strengthen the position of content writers & marketers, who present Drupal, through their content, to an audience of decision-makers & buyers. To ensure that you voraciously popularize your Drupal services, it is important to build top-notch case studies that are confident, coherent, & conclusive. Through this session, the speakers will share their learnings and unique perspective on how to write a killer marketing case study while demonstrating how their approach led them to 4X pageviews as well as enabled them to reduce the bounce rate by 3% (per pageview).	null	2022-04-30T17:51:27	2024-04-23T02:17:57	2,358	vzgwKo5zCww	Hello, everyone. I'm Shashank, also known as Shash, and these are my team members, Suhita and Vaishnavi. Unfortunately, they could not make it. Really apologize for that. So I'll be presenting all by myself. And that is why if you see me troubled, if you see me crumbling and trembling, trust me, that's because I am taking on some of the other sections that they have to do. So we'll be talking today about how to write a killer marketing case study. And really, these are some generic principles that we wanted to discuss. One of the major reasons why we wanted to do this presentation was because we realized that for us, we hear a lot about Adobe, Sitecore. These tools and these technologies people are using world over. There are a lot of cases where the projects fail, but they still shine through because their case studies, their stories are well written. People lap up those stories and then continue to believe these are good tools. Drupal never has been really lacking behind. But unfortunately, we realized that the stories that we try and build in don't really match up to those kind of stories that Adobe and Sitecore and WordPress comes up with. That's one of the reasons why we thought we could potentially come up with some quick pointers. We have some data to back our theories as well, data to back our knowledge as well. But really, this could even become an open conversation and we would like to hear from everyone here in the community to understand what are their thoughts and maybe we can improve upon it as a whole. As a whole, when I say start pitching in how Drupal behaves rather than how my project works and how a particular module works. That's the intention and with that, I'd like to get started. I'm pretty sure this is something that all of us would be able to relate with, familiar with when iPod launched. Steve Jobs did a great job of really marketing this. He didn't talk about what kind of features iPod would be able to provide, but he essentially talked about what it would be able to do for you. And that's the kind of connect that Steve Jobs was able to make. Repeatedly and consistently as Apple has grown from strength to strength, we have realized that the messaging has always been consistent. Steve Jobs has continuously been saying, we do not tell you what we are going to do for you. That's part of what our conversation is, but what we'd really be focusing on is where we'd be able to connect with you and where we all can stand together, which means that Apple's identity is what that will shine through and everyone else will then be able to connect with that identity. And that's where Apple has excelled. Same goes with the story building that we do. We need to make sure that it connects with our customers. It connects with our audiences. And hence, we really don't talk, go into the granular details of what we can do, but we have to really come up on the surface and talk about what we have been doing very well, where all we can solve your problems and where all we can connect with you. I'm sure we all are Drupalers. We have been working in Drupal for a long period of time, but for all the new members who are probably joining DrupalCon for the very first time, welcome. And for everyone else, a little bit of a slider on what the Drupal factor is really about and what really works in our favor. We have about 40,000 modules that's in circulation. And each and there is a module for everything. You look up something, you'll be able to realize that there is something that's available for you that you could start picking it up and utilizing it. We have about one million plus community. Coders, developers, they are teamers. They are business analysts and program managers who are really contributing to the success of the Drupal Day in and Day out patches flow in. We make sure that there are contributions at every level. And that's where our community has really thrived. There are about 1185 plus service providers. So if you are in need of a particular kind of a service, you can just call up anyone. In fact, there are a lot of them here as well. Please walk over to their booths, have a conversation. They'd be happy to help you with any of your concerns, any of your problems that you might be facing. But what does all of this mean? Because there is a thriving community. There is help at hand at every place. If there is granularity that we want to achieve in terms of information, there are people who can do that for you. And as a whole, it becomes then very easy for us to showcase what Drupal can do for us, for our customers as well. One of the ways that we can do it is largely a case study. We write a very good story and that helps us connect with our customers. That's where we'll go in and we'll look into the anatomy of a case study. Why does a case study really matter? Now, when we look at a particular case study, we need to make sure that this really triggers our curiosity. So when we are connecting with our customers, the first hook or the first connect is always around the fact that is it curious enough? Is it giving us enough information right up front where a customer would like to then continue forward with the story and talk through what exactly this is going to give to us? When we have spoken about the curiosity, when the client is already or the customer is already reading through it, what really matters in this scenario is that we are able to differentiate by way of defining our own quality. There are certain benchmarks that need to be set up clearly and we need to ensure that quality again shines through in our story. How do we do that? We do that by making sure that we are talking about what we have done. We also talk about how we have been useful to the clients. There are pain points that we need to look at and then how were we able to solve for these pain points. The quality comes in when you have been able to do that over and over time and again and that's where again the expertise comes in. When we have showcased our quality multiple times, we are considered experts in our domain and then the trust building can happen on a larger scale. Now what all of this finally leads to is that the client or the customer who is reading through our case study is really convinced and they could be convinced one way or the other way. If they continue to believe that the technology that we are talking about, the solution that we are talking about is useful to them, they'll be convinced and they'll be way more interested in having a conversation with you. On the other hand, if they are very clear that the tech that we were proposing to them, the solution that we were proposing to them, it's not good for them, it's not meant for them, then they'll again be convinced on the other side. They don't want to talk to you but at least they have a clearer path. They know where they would want to go even if it's not going in our direction. So in effect what happens is that we are able to, if we are writing a case study keeping in these points, we are then to the point and then we are able to make sure that we are able to connect with the customers much more cleanly. Now the audiences that we have here largely would have people who are looking for a Drupal laser solution to some of their problems and then we also have a lot of vendors in the community who are looking at showcasing what Drupal is all about and hence our conversation today is largely focused on two areas of these case studies. We could have N number of ways where we could be doing this but largely we'd be focusing on these two areas. Either it's around successful business partnerships, how do we ensure that there are long term partnerships with our business stakeholders and then we continue with this partnership by providing them solutions at every end. On the other hand there is also proof of concept which from our perspective is the vendors who would like to showcase what they have done new in this area, what is it that they can offer and hence our proof of concept becomes an important part there. We need to, while we are looking at the case study and what we are trying to understand what are the major ingredients that are required, we need to make sure that there is a balance that is struck. What this means is that we ensure that there are some pitfalls that we keep avoiding and you would see on your right hand side there are items that we have listed down. We feel these are some of the ones that will probably get us into kind of a loop hole that we should avoid. On the other hand on the left hand side you would see some of the green items which we feel are the ones that require more attention. I am pretty sure when we do a case study, when we start talking about a particular project, we keep in mind that the customer problem statement is taken care of but delve a little bit deeper. Make sure that we are trying to understand not just what their problem is and also to a point where we understand why these problems have arisen. If we are talking about specifically a document management system, there are times a couple of clients had come to us and then said, we would want to do a document management system. Can you help us? Now of course that's a problem that they have come up with but when we probed a little bit further, when we started talking to them, when we talked to a further set of stakeholders, we realized that the document management system wasn't the only problem that we were facing. They were also facing a problem of communication between their different groups. So while they were trying to solve it with the just with a document management system where they would post all of their PDFs and allow everyone to be able to access those, the real problem was they were not really able to communicate which meant that as a solution, we even helped them understanding that they could potentially start using an asynchronous communication channel so that they can have a communication with each other. While supplementing all of this with a documentation, that could be done at the DMS level. So the point that I'm trying to make here is we have to make sure that we delve a little bit deeper and understand what the client might really be looking for and having deeper conversations really help. Same is the case with working diagrams. Presenting your information visually is important. The visual language is a universal language. Everyone understands pictures. Everyone has their own interpretations and when they do conversations, then they come up with ideas, come up with problems, come up with different solutions that they could portray through. That's where visualizing something and then be able to showcase it to your customers becomes very important. Talking about a couple of pitfalls, while yes, technical case study would require you to have the right kind of technology jargon in place. We need to make sure that the right kind of words are spoken so that the audience understands it. But keep it to a minimal when we are talking about a case study when it's largely around business partnerships. Keep in mind that the case studies are not the place where you are doing your self-promotion while it's good to showcase what you have done. But keep in mind that we are always continuously talking about the problem and how the solution evolved, rather than how we have been doing it or how we intend to do it. Keep away from self-promotion. It usually helps the customers to connect a little bit better. One of the other things that we have relied in executing some of these case studies is that once size fits, all approach does not work. If we are making our case studies generic, if we are not really again solving for a particular problem but more interested in throwing stats, then that becomes a boring case study for everyone. If there is a personal connect that the customer can draw from your story, that will always be much more helpful. Which means that bringing in insights, bringing in our own experiences, talking about where we even failed in our case study is a very good idea because the customers can then relate to your journey and then would like to pick you up at a place where they feel that they would be more interested in having a collaboration with you. We looked at the anatomy of the case study. We tried understanding what are the different ingredients. Let's delve a little bit deeper into really building a case study. Now for our conversation, we have really divided this into three different steps and each of these steps have these sub-steps to ensure that we are covering it very well and I'll go through all of these steps in detail. Step one really is collecting the data. We need to really ensure that we are collecting the data at the right level. And I touched upon this earlier as well. When we are doing a conversation with the client, when we are doing a conversation with the customer, when we are trying to understand what their pain point is, what their problems are, we need to make sure that we are tackling it from all perspectives. We are able to connect to them. We are able to have a conversation with all the stakeholders involved and the stakeholders could be from either side. If there are technical challenges, make sure that you are talking to your team back and then understanding what those technical problems are so that you can communicate it back to the customers again. In case there are multiple stakeholders from the client side, make sure that you have heard their stories as well. There have been multiple cases, multiple instances in our experience where we had heard from our primary stakeholders about a problem that they wanted to solve for. But when we actually delved deeper and had a conversation with some of the editors, they came up with an entirely different set of problems that they were struggling with. And again, which meant that when we were trying to solve for them, we were trying to solve for them as a whole. So we were not just looking at how the site is going to look like, but we also started looking at how the editors are going to interact with the system. Are they going to face any specific problems or not? And if they are facing editorial challenges with their existing system, how can we improve upon it and solve for those problems as well? So go a little bit deeper. In order to make sure that you are doing this right, you could potentially prepare a questionnaire and share it with your clients so that they come prepared when they are having a deeper conversation with you. That helps them think a little bit more. That helps them understand what they are going to tell you when they are going to talk about their problems. And then I talked about it. We need to make sure that we are interviewing all the stakeholders. There are times where we have access to the end users as well. And I know that this does not happen very frequently. But as and when, if you get a chance to connect with your end users because the site might be existing or there are people who are ready to volunteer and have a go at it, please have the conversations with them. They always come up with ideas that both the stakeholders from either sites have not really thought through. So have more conversations include as many users, as many conversations that you can do before you can actually deep dive into writing the case study itself. Once we have gone through the initial stages, we have collected all the data, which means that we have understood the pain point, we have understood the problem, and then we are moving ahead and actually writing the case study. Make sure that we have identified the focus. Right at the beginning of this presentation, I had talked about that our focus area right now is to talk about business partnerships and PUCs are really simple PUCs that we could potentially do. Similarly, make sure that the focus is very, very clear. Are we looking to do just the PUCs and highlight that? Are we really trying to solve for a business partnership, business problem, or it's a mix of both? Make sure that when we are talking about our case study, when we are creating a framework for our case study, then the focus has been defined very clearly. Many a times we have seen that the case study has just become a bandwagon to list down all these stats without any coherent focus on why we are trying to tell the story, without really figuring out what we would like to portray so that people are more and less to have a conversation with us. So make sure that we are identifying the right focus and then writing the story accordingly. This also helps us in keeping our content very crisp and ensures that there is a very, very deep connection. The tone becomes similarly very important. We need to make sure that the consistency in tone remains. It could be a lighter tone. There are a lot of questions that we have been asked. Should we keep the tone light or should we keep the tone very formal? We realize that it's okay to have a lighter tone in some of the cases, but make sure that there is consistency of tone in your presentation, in your case study. So if you want to keep it light, make sure that it remains light and does not really delve too deep into the day-to-day routines, but make sure that you have consistency. Then finally, make sure that you have completed your draft with the focus and the right tone in place. Now, moving on and then publishing the case study, one of the things that we need to keep in mind is that we make sure that it is submitted for approval. Now, of course, we will be looking to do an approval from the stakeholders, but make sure that our case studies are looked at by a third pair of eye. We always have a perspective that we go ahead with. Our stakeholders usually are aligned when we have done a deeper conversation with them and they'll have a similar kind of a perspective towards the kind of case study that needs to come out. But always go ahead. Of course, there's a proofreads session that would happen, but make sure that you have showcased it to a fresh third pair of eye so that they have a look at it. Some of the nitty-gritty, some of the kings that are always ironed out are usually at the place where someone from a very different perspective comes in and says, hey, we look at it. I think there is a problem with the tone. I clearly see that the sentence is not gelling well with the rest of all your content. All these stats are not making sense. These are not really part of your story at all. Having it looked at by a third pair of eye is always a very good idea when you are getting it approved. Of course, we are going to get an approval from the stakeholders. You're going to get an agreement. Make sure that there is no sensitive information that you are leaking out that could be potentially problematic for your client. Stats are good, but anything that gives away in cases there are any assigned and you don't want to name the customers. Make sure that when you are putting up the stats, they are not indirectly leading to the customers. Always make sure that you have sanitized the information before you have proceeded. Then, of course, publish. While the preferred channel for all of us publishing is usually our website, and we might want to publish it as a blog post, then there are some usual channels like Medium that you would want to go through, but what we have realized is that to make sure that we are focusing on multiple channels, focusing on multiple areas, and of course, making sure that we are grabbing more eyeballs, look at the unconventional places where you could actually publish your posts as well. Look at TechCrunch, look at D-Zone, where they would be interested in highlighting your case studies, and you'll have a larger connect with the audiences. You'll be able to ensure that more people are looking at your case studies, and hence the reach out is larger. So try looking at unconventional ways. In one of the cases, interestingly, we actually tried publishing it to a magazine as well. One of the case studies that we did, we tried publishing it to the magazine, too, which meant that we had a larger audiences. We had another medium where we could talk about our story, and that led us to a lot of people coming back to us and talking about it, and our projects, and of course, that turned out to be a huge lead for us, too. I'd like to quickly talk about a couple of examples as well, while we have been talking about, in general, what kind of case study we need to write in, and how we should be writing it in. A few, not really tips and tricks, but really ideas around how we can reposition some of our content better so that it relates to our clients. I'll basically be taking an example of a couple of industries that we have worked with, and how we have culminated our experiences in terms of how we have solved problems for them, and then written case studies around it. The first industry that we would like to look at is the media and publication. Syriza has extensively worked in this area for the last 10 years. We have our clients across the globe, from the media giant in Singapore to a media house in the US, and every other, every such media house in between. We have been able to cater to them, thankfully, in the last 10 to 12 years of working in this industry, and it's been fruitful, it's been fun, but there are a lot of quick insights that we have gathered along the way to make sure that we are able to solve for them, and of course, then be able to write the case studies accordingly. For example, on the right hand side, you would see some of the specific keywords that we usually come up with. We usually say enabled API integration. Now, these are good words. We need to make sure that we are highlighting that we have been able to do API integrations, but how do we make sure that we are able to connect with our customers when they are reading through? Specifically, when the customers may not be tech-savvy and they may not be able to understand the impact that an API integration would come up with, that's where you want to make sure that you are writing your story in a way where it is understandable. Instead of saying enabled API integration, call it enriching feeds with real-time breaking news and updates from multiple channels. Now, what this does is that the customer now understands that whether there is an underlying technology around an embed code or an API integration, it's very clear to them that this is the benefit that it brings to the table. Same is the case with flexible layout management and low-code development. Again, very good words to use. We want to make sure that we have called out, that we have given the best possible solution to our client, but this usually does not connect very well. What does this mean to the client is important to be highlighted. So instead of saying something like this, we could always say that we could potentially create landing pages that helps the customer to have a larger control over the website, and also it means that there's absolutely minimal developer interference in terms of doing small things that they could potentially do. Again, adds to a lot of value in terms of what we can deliver for the client instead of saying what we did very well. The last one, I'm pretty sure that everyone would be able to relate to it much more easily, instead of saying that we would be leveraged SEO friendly modules and were able to improve the SEO. Try writing it in a way where we have been able to increase the content visibility, effectively making sure that the website ranking has improved over the search engines as well. Again, clearly showing that there is a value in what you are doing, even if it's a small instance of enabling SEO modules and integrating them properly, making sure that they are done well, show them what kind of value that you are coming up with, and that's going to resonate with your customers and clients more accurately. Another industry that we could potentially look at is the travel industry. Again, the region has been able to work with our clients across the globe in this industry, and then again, there are some experiences that we have brought in. There are a lot of instances that we realize when we look at a lot of case studies across. There is always a communication or a conversation around automated data extraction or automated data scraping, which typically means that you look at the keywords that you are that your customers are fading in to your systems, utilize those keywords, and then start personalizing the content for your customers on the website. Now, calling it automated data extraction or scraping again might drive through the point, but the challenge would again be that we would not be able to relate as to what this really brings in for the clients themselves. Effectively, when we clearly know that this is going to lead to a personalized, recommended approach to the customers, let's talk about that. Let's make sure that we are calling it out as very clearly streamlining personalized customer communication. We ensure that the content that you would be getting is going to be personalized, and it is customized to the needs of what you are looking for. Calling it out very clearly what it means really helps the customers in engaging with your case study better. We talked about the API-driven solution earlier as well. This example finds resonance in this industry as well. Instead of again talking about how API integrations are good or how we can make it API-driven, talk about how this is going to have an impact to them, boosting the user engagement and conversions in a real-time scenario gets them going. They understand that we understand their system better, and we are able to provide them the right kind of solution in the right kind of scenario. I'd like to end the presentation with a quick impact on how this approach has helped us, and then we can of course have questions after this, but quickly looking at what we have been really being able to achieve, the numbers that you see right now are for a time period of last six months. Since the time we had actually been able to rewrite some of our old case studies and then publish them to the right channels, we have seen that there has been increase in the organic traffic, a two-fold increase really, where we have seen that there were a lot more people who were curious to learn about our work, to curious to learn about what we can bring to the table and how we can help them. We saw a clear increase there, and then right at the end you saw that there has been a 50% increase in the farm submissions. At the end of the case study, we provide a form where it says, if you are interested in this, if you are interested in learning more about this, please fill it in. We realized in the last six months when we have rewritten some of these case studies, the increment is about 50%. You see clearly some of these ideas work, when you are able to connect with your customers better, if you are writing the kind of stories that are engaging, that are making sure that you are interact with them, then there is a more likelihood that they are going to come to you and look for problem-solving at your end. That's about it, and I'd like to really close here and open it up to see if there are any questions. I know again, I would apologize, there were supposed to be three people who would be speaking around. I have done all those speaking, but happy to take on any questions and happy to have more conversations. The targeted word count has usually been, so we have not really looked at the word count, but what we have looked at is making sure that the number of pages that we are talking through is optimal for anything that's going to go deeper and talk about, let's say, the architecture of the project. We usually keep it to about a couple of pages, but if anything less than that or anything not less complicated, then we have tried keeping it to one page only. Actually, good question. It's actually a combination of both, which means that while we have our case studies on our sites and anyone and everyone can go through and read through it, there are a lot of instances where we have gotten clients who have just looked at some search for some keywords, landed on a case study, they understood what we could do, and then they reached out to us, but then there is the other side of it where we have actually been reaching out to our existing and old customers. We realize their needs. All of us have CRM's in place where we are trying to figure out what customers would want next. What we then do is then reach out to them with an e-mailer, making sure that we are also linking to the case studies, talking about what we have done so far. So maybe this is a recent thing that we have done that we are working with, and we want to reach out to a customer who has been with us for a long period of time. We went out, sent out an e-mailer to them, gave them a link about the case study. This is something new that we have done so far. Would you be interested in doing this with us as well? So we have reached out to them and had a conversation. The other third channel that we have also looked at is making sure that we are not just talking about case study in whole, but we also pass on this information in bite-sized pieces over the social media as well. So posting something around LinkedIn that we have been able to help our customers do XYZ, and it helped them in, let's say, acquiring customers by 50% or 25%. We have been able to pass on that and then lead the customers to read a little bit more about it on our site, on Medium, so that they can read through the case study and then decide for themselves if they would want to work with us. So all of these channels have really worked for us too. I hope I was able to answer your question as well. Yes, please. Absolutely. There's no one channel that would really work better. There are instances, and I was making this point earlier as well. While it's a very good idea that you should post all your case studies at your website, this helps both ways, right? The website gets a little bit of traction. You make sure that people are coming on over to your site and then reading through it. Similarly, if they are reading through the case studies, they are getting to know more about you. But the reach is as much as your website's reach is. So you need to go out and then start putting it up at different places as well. Using LinkedIn as a medium or a channel is a very good idea. Medium.com itself is a very good channel that you could utilize. Make sure that the right kind of people are talking about your case studies. So rather than having it written by a generic person, maybe someone who has actually worked on the project, worked on that particular piece, should be talking about it, should be writing that case study or at least attributed to that person so that people can have a direct connect with them. So having an account or a name under the person on medium.com, publishing your case studies along with them also helps them, also helps garnering larger audiences and then having a connect with them. And then again, I was saying this earlier, you look at some unconventional ways as well. There is tick runs that you can publish it. There is D-zone that you can publish it. Some of the tools that you usually work with, one of the best ways, and I'm sorry, I forgot about this, is publishing it on Drupal.org. If you've gotten good meat, you want to talk about it, you want to make sure that everyone is reading through it, publish it on Drupal.org. You'll have a larger audiences and a lot of credibility as well gets added to your case study when it's on Drupal.org. Oh yes, absolutely. A very good point and something that we have been trying to do in our recent case studies. Making sure that we have talked about some of our failures, some of our problems in shortcomings, like you said, in the case study, helps the customers connect very well with the overall journey. Not every time your customers would want to do everything with you, they would be interested in doing some pieces of it. When they know what are your failures, they also know what are your strengths that you are also acknowledging. That is where then they'll be able to connect better. They'll be able to come up to you and say, maybe you can't do this, that's perfectly okay, or you may want to do this again. But because we know this, we know your strengths as well. Can we do this with you? So it helps them connect better across the complete journey and then let them decide, pick and choose where they would want to connect with you in that journey and let them help, let you help them solve their problems too. All right, any more questions? I'm sorry, I didn't get the keyword. Again, we need to make sure and we talked about this earlier. We need to make sure that the tone is consistent. So if you want to use videos, make sure that you're using videos and then your presentation is centered around it, that makes it more interactive. But if you want to showcase a lot of stats, if you want to really talk about greater details, then usually text format works and then you would want to avoid just a video there, which is not really jelling with your story. So if it goes well with your story, go ahead and do it. But again, make sure that the tone is consistent so that people are continuously relating to it rather than finding an abrupt video at the middle and then which is probably tangentially talking about yesterday. So if it is part of the meet, go ahead and do that. There is one other thing that potentially that has been, we've been trying to do as well as having, like you mentioned a little bit of an interactivity where there's a quick questionnaire that could be added. So when we are talking about what our experiences is, let's gather more experiences as well. So a quick questionnaire or one or two, not long, of course, could be inserted in so that the customers can also vote for it in a way, saying, yes, this is something that worked for me. This is something that didn't work for me. That brings in a little bit of a more personalization in the conversation. Any more questions? No? Great. Happy to have a connect later on as well. We have a booth, please come over and have more conversations. We'd be happy to answer any more questions. But thank you, everyone. Thank you for being here and being patient listeners. Thanks a lot.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzgwKo5zCww", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Miimato, don't be shy. If you are going to Facebook, I would just happen to be on Facebook, if you are too white of a foment, zewangu shika comments. Tawa niya, we like to hear from you, we like to get your two cents. Tosa ni kama ni mi change na pata rungu, su mune nile, she will buy it to online. Wachild, what is the problem? Why do people create fake accounts? Fake accounts? Fake. Tosa wumaona, maybe mnapenda na niya mama kaku kuku, ama tuwanzana niya. Aya, manome ni kufumiliya, kwa watu ama kwa Facebook status? Kazi eno ni kufumiliya tu o ria ni, like you keep your problems to yourself mki wa tuwa pa lafu vadaiji onimna na Facebook, weka ama ni ni. Manome ni kufumiliya, iyo aya agree, manome vumiliya, lakini, in as much as una vumiliya, it will surely kill you one day. But where does all this content for kina kilimani manome come from? Sini ni nitu wuma na tleke avitu. Nisi sisa saya, the creative minds we have in juwana pustiki. What creative mind? What kind of creativity is that? Soma comments kilimani, tell me, those jokes are all of them very funny. Wezi ni nimi nitu wama ni nyama zivi, aka fikire kitu kama niyo. It's, lasmu kwenaka sense of humor for you to even to write the comment, ya kawdingaflani, especially, diyo posti zo vitu zo tia po kilimani. So, vumiliya kama manome, biya manome, vumiliya lakini, my friend, in the long run. Kwa na mese wapeshiya ni nini, secret is out. If the underlying factor happen, have someone trust you, but don't trust social media. How do you know you can trust someone? Do ya munya sidi aka post munya social media? How do you know you can trust someone? Because I don't think, is it the same for girls? Can we, Syria name me, can you keep a secret? Yes. I love also her, na itana meeting ya watu watatu. Munae za keep a secret? Yes. I love also her cycle, nende wa menda kwa mbe watu, ane wu mungine. Do you know a secret once it's shared with one person, biswa yo isha enda inje, because na atambia mungine, what's a secret? A secret is something you tell somebody, not tell somebody else. So she or he will keep on telling somebody, ana mambiya usi ambiyom se, e piya kambiyom mgnata mambiya usi ambiyom se, but the time we come to love a bit, you mean that? Aki baby, uu, you can't just believe what, na kimu se ambiyom, na kimiata umju agisun is not. Allah fuhende wa kutane tu skumota men's confrates. Ah! Demiangwa lini ambiyas nili nini. Una tukanga aji. I think the only people who can trust your secret na wazazi, ikichum na zema suji mani umu niku bumiliya, just pick up, share your problem, but mkuna wazazi, no, we have parents. So kuna bishtizakwa tede aji kusema nini ni, anza dam wazazi apo. Namun na msambiyom wazazi. Ami am wazazi. And I agree and they are very supportive and they want us to tell them. Aki ni, one thing most of us lack is the courage to tell the parent the secret. Ukuna kareji akununu nua shoka na kushapen. Ya, ukuna kareji akununu nua shoka na kushapen na kutakari mafuta na kuna safari mzema. Aki ni telling your mom or even your dad a secret? It's really hard. Onaji wafiliya African tradition, wafiliya tumekua. Kuna vituzenye atufai kushyana wazazi. Kuna vituzenye wukisha na mzazi inakani shemful. So boy child ama mtui eote anafkiri ya ekituni kizama miyama de atani wana aji sasa. So unapata ningumu kushyana mzazi. Lekini, iyo storya kuku anamtu a kushya secrets wuna eza kua na mtu. Wili wana anza kumutrast ni wuna shyana a secret kidogo. Na pima, pima. Wuna pima. And then wuna ana ipea na ipeani. Wuna shyana a secret kubu a kidogo. So unapata mtu trust ni save. Okay, but we are on the other side. That's an issue. Now another question. Is the boy child seeking attention on the internet? Is the boy child seeking attention on the internet? Do you think he is seeking attention? There are those who are seeking attention, actually. Not all of them. I can say these are percentage. Compared to girls, the percentage is small. Lekini, kuna wala nansika attention on Facebook. Ya, not Facebook, but all of our social media platforms. No, but WhatsApp status and an app you get to get it. Kata iko. Kito jayu kwa hashtag, hashtag things, hashtag there. What is the problem? So it won't get to barua kira kuchu takuana women's confluence targeted. Boy child, kutafita attention on social media. I think in a letter, in a letter by the need for approval. From whom? You see, you have like young, most of the young people that I have met and even know, there is a need for approval from the people you are living with. For example, umetoka kijijin yuko, to say me, I don't want to mention a village, just your village yuko. Ukakuja na irobi, you are now in university and then you are now trying to fit in in a group of people who have grown up in the urban setup ome kwa kikula pizza, ome kwa kikenda club and everything. So it's your first time in pizza and you want to fit in. So you try to show the world that even you know what is pizza. Because you are looking for that approval, you want those people you are staying with to be with you all the time and to now for you to join the boys club. And that's where it all comes up. The need for approval. And most of the young people, they are looking for the attention. Utape tamtu na piga picha, kila maali, kila street irobi, kila club naenda, because you are seeking for approval. Unu ingi Instagram una tag over those and people up on daddy. Una tag, mga kala miwa na tag. Adjui anafakwa ya ni na. Na tag wotre, tu na tag kukutuka desa agu kwen na jubu siyadi, kila maali. Adi sonko unam tag. Na rada sonko, ni kuna na jakior. Eh eh, you are making big moves, I have seen you. So ok, what is the solution? Solution ya? Eh, he is a certain shawking. Why do you want validation? Why do you need validation from other people? Actually, una yuki oki oki go online, kuna bilek, kuna elek ituna aim. Sii itu kuna social media influencers, so mtu okiwa influencer, it's not like you are seeking attention. You are aiming at something. Ion itu ineza kulei pasinda. Likin saizi bitu zingi na isi za kwen da online, and then you post your feelings, that will never help. Ya, mtu ni wukai cini, wu jifu kiriye, wu wana bileoneza, woneza solfu isu za kwen na ya. I am not saying social media, social media presence is a bad thing because personally I am a number one meme lover. Meme lord, meme queen, whatever you want to call me. Meme na memes to kohivi ok? And that's where I get them from social media. So this is a tool. So edit can be used for good or for misuse. Sindia, you want to tell me something? Ya, I think seeking attention from social media, that simply means you have love, self-esteem. You don't believe in yourself. As long as you believe in kusawa na klakti kusawa na, Inaza when you have to approval from somebody else, believe in yourself na onafu na klikata na dia kikusawa, you don't have to go around seeking attention from somebody else. Likini. Get those followers, in fact they just follow you. Wana jileta tu? Ya, wana jileta tu. Likini. Saib liya tunaishi. Do you think you can live without social media? Ka biisa ka biisa. I come from a generation where there was no WhatsApp. There was no Instagram. To go to Facebook uli kumenda kusai baka fe. Alo, volumikusawa. Ya ni nivu na pangalain. Ala watata yaw Facebook, it will take you like 10 minutes kubafa to kulod. So you had to have some serious patients to go off. Isosiku zili pita. We are talking about today. But we will not die. We've evolved. Do we have three extra years because now we have awareness on social media? No. Then what is the problem? Is the changing trend? Okay, trend, mwa choke baby, trend. Because what is killing us here is pressure. Uren na Instagram no na msa yame piga picha na firadi, kumbe yata siyake? And then we're building a msa yame ati, oh, we woke up like this. Ati la shizake as fake as mine, but ati amelala kama kaiwa. I know you do not sleep with them. Ske mwa kaiwa volume na pana menewe. There's a problem, guys, if we glorify social media. There's a problem. This is why we're getting so much pressure. This is why we're getting depressed, where we're comparing ourselves to people. Who are probably doing better than? Are we together? Wherever you go, you're healthy. You fool, umekula, uskibaridi, kumsafi, unaka poa, but na sumbwana na mtumigi na ko Instagrama po na 5000 likes. Will you die? You will not die, you will not die, you will not die. But then social media is here to stay. Social media is not living today, not tomorrow. Which is fine, let's just not glorify it like that. But then there is a good side of social media and there is a bad side. The bad side is that we don't know how to regulate what we post, how often we are on social media, because, example, high schoolers, wa kifunga iwi, Facebook is unbearable. Instagram you cannot stay there even one hour. Because the poster is just, me makulki do me kuji, wa me fika, sasa you have to know we are here. And then sasa wa kirudi, unapatanga, it has become now more professional, the people are posting, you know, people are major, we don't know how to regulate social media. See, niza high school has bad, we fika waza zi koni niya nani. Yes, she has good last book again. I want to look at some of us, do you know what people are? We have a post on Facebook and Twitter as well, at 254 Facebook, at 254 channel on Twitter. Hashtag is why in the morning. So we ask, do you think everything should be posted online? Do we post feelings? And this is in particular today boy child. They said, rain or swear. I don't think everything should be posted. Nobody really cares because everyone has their own battles to fight. Thank you for that. John Mungai, I see you're telling me it's not wise to post everything online, especially if you feel that post will stir some controversy or spark some conflict between you and your partner. Wa, so deep. Liam Hasbroon says it really sucks and it's a turn off when someone posts his or her emotions as for comfort. Keep it low, key and mature. Avoid sharing, sorry, showing anxiety or over excitement on social media platforms. It signals how insecure you are. Love from Bamburi. Are we in agreement here? There's insecurity. Kido butu, who wants that insecurity? Shikile apu mam. We read that once. Masikawvo says I don't think one should post their lives online. Janet Janet says kudos shaks e karibangi shaks sayo Now in this day and age we should all know not to air our dirty laundry in public. Not only is it a bad scene but also people depict your character by what you write in the end. You have but yourself to blame of what people perceive you to be. Hey, not to a kodeb. Imam Jensels, good morning. Thank God you're back on air. Kwana kana mwisho Friday, so inna take courage kwa miss kwa sho from ombas. Adasit na kwa miss Daddy. The cream says carry bag and shaks on top. At least kaya we can proudly talk ata kama afkontu lito lewanje. Situ mesama sinimara pondrana by the way. Kipjoga ya. Satpeleke isho nari, nari yang. Remember to use the hashtag now before they give me any more. Talk to me about this insecurity. Oh, there's one more. Abdu Razakwarn says communication is very vital and open, honest expression is the best way to handle matters. Ata kama ni kwa status na sosho media kuna shida as long as had to fichani na kubishana kwa kosana yashima hadarani. Wow. Alright. Okay. Junior major says atiwara shinda rambestaz thanks shaks for making us proud. Ata rambestaz to kwa proud of you. Afulu na tupe mas bui. Sidi yo, tu me kwa na. Umi e pichako ya jazim na posisyon u licheza rambestaz ndu kudiyo wongi e. Fetfefe Facebook katatatatatata hashtag is why in the morning some more APK dad comedian says shaks on top. Desu kia, betu mi ampaka link baza, I hope you ni link kia kariobangisha. Thank you. Talk to me. Do you think people are getting insecure? Yeah, I guess I think you had case of people's accounts being hacked. Na kuna msa maha kakantiyako u msa na umbayana obviously that person was supposed subservs amazo rimbaya but that's under information of to papako of it's very bad. Udapa na msa mu posipa stepambayo and you know our parents say they work for social media. Alafum baza pijapuana we think some of you unconvins come bauda zia maybe we'll start them maiki tu na haki wana this is not my stuff so you know my post so security is real and we just want to be very careful nabijet na handios. How are we going to attack what online? Are you afraid of coming to tell me to manenu unna miopon anata pichapa heta amali mi because why would you go behind a computer at now to make fan of me or to spread a lie that you know is hurtful ni ni ni napusumbua I think wana jump to action ka social media siyo pekiakutawana your friends and people around you will see it so it's a way of punishing your reputation you see I can jump on me pekiakutawana pikawewa na e na mta solve it taisya na kini nia ya kini kwa ridia wana jina so I take a social media maikupapetijan kwa sumduki na msi asom nata wana kwa mina so maze uniwewa wana nani li katiawa to through Facebook ni keki a box thank God for social media I don't know Kama ma li kwa kwa ma li pema but I actually do know someone who got married and met this mkps on Facebook so that's why I believe it's a tool you can either use it well or choose to misuse it hi Val I'm Mike social media ni mzuret know I hate it jo I'm sorry, boy child. I've had many manyakini. I look to see what Facebook na chalingli kata kwingiha boxi hake, baka ni kato kawko, ntarudi akshiya kufa. Where are your chills, baby? Where are your chills? I'm wishy pata nam to Facebook, atam njuwani, atam uko on the same area code, at ito man nodes. Nodes ni wewe, naku tumia kambaya peloti, kama ina ngo. Sawa. So you wanted to see something that doesn't have clothes, to spend money on. I want to see. Very fast. Report and not just block. Report and block. Alright. We are going to go through statistics and then you give us your final remarks and then we wrap this up. So there are 4.4 billion social media users. Internet users, sorry, this is for internet. 4.4 billion. 3.499 of those billion are active on social media. That's a lot. Social media now means you can network. Kina, the likes of LinkedIn. Am I saying it right? Yeah. So does that put a job online? So it's sort of that thing to use social media. Just use it well. A person has an average of 6 social media accounts, which is quite fascinating to me. 6 social media accounts. And the average time spent on social media is around 42 minutes a day. That's around 2.3 hours. So on Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn too. Ha. So in all of them, Twitter, if I'm not here, the first 10 minutes and also again I believe people who have SMEs, small businesses and all this, a lot of them I see them advertising or marketing online. So say na kudiyem tu versus IG. Radama, nose and go, ama I am selling jewelleries or something like that. And I see that works for people too. But satu malizie hii in your collaboration. What are you saying to your young brother? To the young people out there, as I said earlier, social media is here to stay. Another thing about social media or the internet, I never forget. What you post today, somebody somewhere might still have access to it like 50 years to come. Go to Facebook. Ita kwa mbe 2 years ago, we have a memory about you 2 years ago. So what you post, people will still see it. And what you post is who you are, is what you do. And nowadays most of the those huge organizations, embassies, they look at your social media background. They look at your social media background. So, let's learn to filter out what we post and that will be well, I guess. Give me a short summary of what you would like to tell me. Kwa social media, social media see marionaka feelings ako. Social media see marionaka post kilakitu kusulefi ako. People are using private information from social media to attack what we need to hack their accounts, to hack their bank accounts, witu mingi mingi. So, okitumia social media vibhaya, you may end up losing everything. So unafakutumia social media visuri so that it can help you. Otherwise, wneza jipata kwa mese ni umedi ya kwa mwine na akuna bili wneza jia kwa. My advice to young boys and girls out there at even the end that whatever you post on social media might be used against you at one particular point. So, what you want to do when you are a post come and let's not do a social media at least use it maybe kupata information, what is going around kuhu, kufu zahutu kitu kizurikla unafakufanya lakini kiposti kitu kibaya at one time because I have a friend wneza social media dimangusha so kilakitu na post wneza kwa faves. This time I heard that the employer nangili asushu but a bro na siste please just be careful, just be very careful. Mali wna nani wneza tia receipt be careful. Also, I hear there is a driver and a Eugene watching us from somewhere. We want to say good morning and thank you for watching. We are about to go now. So I want you to have an amazing day in case you miss the conversation you caught it halfway. Pick the notification button so that you got all the fresh sauce when it is out. It has been our pleasure to have this journey with you from 7 to 10. It's a daily show so Monday and Friday sauce too. Don't want to miss it. Thank you. Have yourself a great day. This is where we wave, guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZkaU-_eIzk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

]	2019-08-15T16:56:19	2024-02-05T16:39:26	609	VzTRdae1bIo	Hi so again an ugly looking equation in front of us how to solve this big task isn't it but obviously we have some tools in our disposal one is or the most important one is we know how to solve quadratic equation but does this equation look like if I can use all of them it is it does how because you see if you notice there is a pattern there is something hidden so again mathematics all about observation and my observation says there is something which is you know some some trend is being observed now if I do something about it then if I use this particular observation then maybe I can solve this equation so let us try to first reduce it to some simpler looking form so can I say let's say y is equal to 3x square minus 4x if I if I do this it will become y plus the root y minus 6 is equal to 18 now it is much simpler than this one but still there is a third there's a radical which is creating a trouble how can I remove radical so radical the best way to kill radical is to square it but let's say if in this form if I square both sides what will happen I will this will be a plus b form and then again there will be a term if you square this up and open let's say I'm doing this you square this up you will again end up having a term which will contain this particular radical why because it will be simply y square plus root of y minus 6 whole square plus 2 times y times root y minus x isn't it this is a plus b plus a square plus b square plus 2 a b form but again this is not getting eliminated here this root will go this route will go but here again it will come back so hence I don't want this so can I do some trick the trick is very simple and that is if you let this radical stay alone on one side so hence let me just take away all this yep so hence there is no square anything anymore now what do I am doing this can I write this equation as let us keep this under root y minus x isolated and then what will happen it will become 18 minus 5 now if you square it will help yes why because now there is no more 2 a b term on the left hand side so let's square squaring both sides squaring both squaring both sides what will you get guys you will get under root y minus 6 squared whole square is nothing but 18 minus y whole squared isn't it now this will give you some peace yes so here you'll get 18 square minus 2 times 18 times y plus y square isn't it which is nothing but if you write this is and you know keep everything on same side so hence you'll get 18 square is 324 and then it is how much 2 minus 36 y and then I'm bringing this y on the right hand side you'll get minus 5 1 more minus 5 and then minus 6 goes on to this side becomes plus 6 right and then there is y square anyways and now flip everything or take everything on the left hand side you'll get y square now this plus this is minus 37 y and this is 324 plus 6 is 330 isn't it so I can write this as plus plus or minus so plus right plus 330 is equal to 0 clear so now it is reduced to finding the solution to this equation so can I split 330 if you see 330 is equal to 3 times 10 times 11 isn't it 30 times 11 correct and I have to reach 37 somehow so I have to break it into so it's also it's nothing but 3 into 3 not 3 into 2 rather 3 into 2 into 5 into 11 so do I see something okay so 37 how do I reach 37 22 and 15 22 and 15 will definitely help so hence what I'm saying is 22 is where is 22 this is 22 and 3 times 5 is 15 so hence it is 22 plus 15 is 37 and 22 into 15 is 330 so that will work so hence I'll write y square minus let's say 22 y minus 15 y plus 330 equals 0 hence y common y minus 22 minus 15 common y minus 22 is 0 so hence it is y minus 22 times y minus 15 equals 0 so y is equal to 22 and y is equal to 15 right this is what we'll get but we never wanted y we wanted x so what is y by the way so y was nothing but 3x square minus 4x if you see here 3x square minus 4x so hence again we'll get two equations 3x square minus 4x is equal to 22 and 3x square minus 4x is equal to 15 let's solve it so hence it is 3x square minus 4x minus 22 equals 0 and 3x square minus 4x minus 15 equals 0 again we'll go by the spreading the middle term so 3 times 22 is 66 which is also 11 times 6 but 11 times 6 will not give you 4 so 66 let's let me do the rough calculation here so I'm what I'm doing is you'd have guess by now 3 times 22 is 66 now 66 can be written as 2 into 3 is 6 into 11 right now 11 times 6 is 66 and what else 22 times 3 so looks a little ugly here but let us keep trying so maybe this or rather instead of breaking your head into middle terms and everything what you can do is you can straight away use the quadratic formula so here what will you get you will get x is equal to what will be x equal to minus b that is 4 plus minus under root b square b square is 16 minus 4 square is 16 minus 4 ac so minus 4 into 3 into minus 22 divided by twice of a which is 6 so if you solve it you'll get 4 plus minus under root 16 plus 12 times 22 so it is 16 plus 4 is 12 12 times 22 is 24 264 right divided by 6 right which is 4 plus minus under root 280 upon 6 okay now which is nothing but you can take it as 4 plus minus 280 can be written as 4 times 70 yep 4 times 70 and there is no possibility any further reduction so this is 6 so hence it will be 4 plus minus 2 root 70 so you can take this 4 out of the radical sign it will become 6 4 plus minus 2 root 70 upon 6 which is equal to 2 plus minus root 70 upon 6 sorry upon 3 yes so this is one set of a solution so this is one set of solution 2 plus minus root 70 upon 3 other set can be from here so how to find out 3 x square minus 4 x minus 15 so 3 15 3 times minus 15 is 45 which is also 9 times 5 and hence it will work it will work here so hence you'll see 3 x square can be written as minus 9 x plus 5 x minus 15 is equal to 0 so you take 3 x common you'll get x minus 3 you take 5 common you'll get x minus 3 equals 0 so hence it is x minus 3 times 3 x plus 5 equals 0 so hence you'll get x is either 3 or x is minus 5 upon 3 okay minus 5 upon 3 so these are the four solution to this equation guys x equals to 3 x equals to minus 5 upon 3 and these two right now this is what so what is the learning guys learning is first do not panic and then get exposed to as many different types of equations as possible and you all always learn that if this if this equation has to be solved it has to be solved with known methods and what is the only known methods so far so we know only solving quadratic equations and linear equations so hence all the equations must be thought towards or let's say it must be driven towards a form where you can apply your knowledge of quadratic equation or if you know how to solve these equations with some other method you can adopt that but at this level we have the knowledge of quadratic equation we'll try to resolve our given equation in form of quadratic equation	{ "url":

Sam here with late in sports cards. We're doing a really awesome two box baseball mixer for Connor C. We've got one fanatics authentic 2022 under wraps series two autographed baseball and then we've got a 2022 tops definitive baseball. So good luck here Connor. Let's start with your under wraps and I've not opened this yet so I hope they make it easy for us to figure out who to pull this out or no. Ah, that's a little overkill. That's very overkill. Alright, come on now. Right, not touching the ball again. We've got wow. That's Corey Seeger World Series MVP, NLCS MVP, 20 RBIs, 20 runs, 2020 postseason 328 average eight home runs. Dude just started writing a novel on the baseball. That's nasty. Congrats Connor dude. Look at the inscriptions all over this thing. Wow man. That's nasty. That's so sick. Congrats Connor. That thing is absolutely insane. Dude just said here's my essay. All right. Define definitive, definitive. Oh, was it numbered two of 20? I didn't even notice that. I'm checking it out right now. Maybe. Oh it is. Yeah, that's sick. Two of 20. Wow, good catch on that one Adam. That's an ass dude. This thing is so cool. I'm like really jealous of this ball actually. Like I'm not really, I wouldn't call myself a Corey Seeger fan but like that's a sick, sick, sick piece to have right there. All right, we need something crazy now. I think I might see red unless it's pink. I think that's red. Yeah, I believe that is red. I don't want, don't quote me on it. It might not be but I think there's a possibility it could be. We've got protectors of the plate. That is Fernando Tates Jr. 5 out of 10. I'm assuming that's probably a, I don't know what that's from. We got his buddy. That is Manny Machado 6 out of 35. I think the one red is up next so it should be a one on one. But we've got 3 out of 10. That is David Ortiz. Dude, that's so sick dude. 3 out of 10. Big poppy. Green. Patch auto dude. This next thing is crazy. We've got one of one. How about your Don Alvarez? That's nasty with the laundry tag. Dude, look at the next one too. That's one of the biggest cards in the set right there. Because you know what that's worth, right? Like seriously, if you have this card, like possess this card, you get a free box of defensive. I'm pretty sure that's what they've been saying. Because we've got, this is the quote on quote fake auto of Austin Meadows and Randy Rosarana. So Connor, I would contact Tops on this one. I think they've put out a statement saying you do get a box of definitive for that. I don't know. Don't quote me on that obviously. That's what I've heard. But there it is. That's actually a huge card right there. Funny enough. We've got up next, Forrest, just in time. That is Jason Veratek. Sick auto there. Send box and wrapper. Yeah, we'll grab the box and wrapper. We're gonna get you the box and wrapper, Connor. One sec, one sec, one sec, box, wrapper. I'll even send this little, this thing. There you go. We've got Josh Lowe for the raise, 42 out of 50. Sick one there. And nice way to end it. We've got that is, wow, purple, four or five, Daryl Strawberry. And I'll rookie the year on the definitive achievements. These are currently 2349. So 232350. That'll do it for your break there. Connor, congrats on the hits. Congrats on everything, man, because like even that, that Rosarana is pretty sick. We'll get it right out to you, buddy.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzenih-JowU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

These extreme temperatures were caused by anomalous anticyclones in the mid-upper troposphere over northern CEC, which brought cold and dry air from the south, resulting in sinking motions and extreme heat waves. In contrast, in August, the heat waves were more severe due to a powerful anticyclonic condition over CEC, which was superimposed on an extreme silk road pattern, SRP, and the effects of northwest-south Asian diabetic heat. This resulted in simultaneous extreme weather events across the Eurasian continent.

When we get there, I want you to stay in the car until everything is over. Of course, it's your anxious to see your friend Harold, but I can't allow you to endanger yourselves. Just in case we run into some fireworks. Fireworks? And I mean a little gunplay, Jerry. Oh. Is that other car right behind us, Linwell? Huh? Oh, yes, Mr. Wallace. It's about a hundred feet from us. All right. Now let me see. It's about 845. Yeah, the car will be just about arriving at the Hazlet Farmhouse. What are the cars that, Mr. Wallace? Well, the boys in Mr. McLeod told us that Corporal Dent figured out that the cabin we're heading for is really an old outbuilding on the back part of the Hazlet Farm. Oh, I see. Yeah, so you're sending another bunch of government men to sneak up on the cabin from the other direction. Is that it, Mr. Wallace? Yes, Lee, that's right. We'll cut them off from making any escape from any direction. I'll check up on them right now. Check up on them? How are you going to do that, Mr. Wallace? Well, our cars are equipped with two-way radio, Jerry. Oh, gee, that's well, isn't it, Lee? I'll say it is. Calling Knox in car 5. Knox in car 5. Come in. Okay, this is Knox. Where are you now, Knox? About 150 yards from the front gate of the Hazlet Farm. All right. When you get up into the yard by the farmhouse, stand by the car until I give you the word to go. Okay. Golly, isn't that keen? Yeah, better take it a little easy along here, Taylor. Okay. Ian, turn off your lights now. Yes, sir. That's the road right up there, Mr. Wallace. And we turn left, is that right? That's right. Okay, take it slower than you are, Taylor. We want to be sure the other men are at the cabin when we make the catch. All right. Here's where we stop, Mr. Wallace. Yes? All right, Taylor, pull up. Yes, sir. Linwell, I think it's best that you stay here in the car with the boys. Oh, but, Mr. Wallace... I realize fully, Linwell, that you too were anxious to see your boy. But with the game leg of yours right now, it'll be too difficult for you to move quickly. Well... I'm sure it's best. Well, all right. Well, be sure to let me get to him just as soon as you can, won't you? You bet we will. Come on, Bradley. Shall we? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Where did you leave Corporal Dent, Max? Right there in the clump of bushes, about 50 feet up the road. Very well. I'll call Knox and tell him to start over toward the cabin. Knox in car five. Yes, sir. We're on the side road, about 150 yards from the cabin, I judge. Yes, sir. What time have you got? 52 and 32nd. Right. We'll make the catch at exactly 9.5. OK? OK, we'll be there. All right. We're starting up the road right this minute. See you later. Come on. All right. Now, keep it quiet from here on. Oh, that must be Dent. Here we are, Corporal. We'll be right with you. Hey, did you bring the government man? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I see him now. Mr. Wallace, this is Corporal Dent. He's been standing watch here for us. Glad to meet you. How do you do? What's been going on, Corporal? Oh, not a thing, no, sir. Ain't so much as moved a toe out in that door since that man went in about a half hour back. Good. All right. You want to join us, Corporal Dent? Join you? Say, you couldn't keep me out of this skirmish with six transports. That's fine. Come along, then. Easy now, then. Listen. Yes. An airplane. Look. Look, he's hidden this way. You can see red and green lights. That's funny. What do you mean, funny? Well, that there's the first plane I've ever seen over this part of the country this time of night. It is, huh? Wallace, down quick. Somebody coming out of that cabin. He's got a flashlight. Say, he's signaling to the plane up there. You mean that blinkin' on and off is signal to that fellow in the airplane? It looks very much like it. Yeah. Now the pilot's flashing his landing lights on and off, too. Say, that's Morse code. W-H-E-R-L-N-D. For your land. He wants to know where to land. And fellow don't spell so good, does he? He's just abbreviating. I-I-I-I-I... Look, they know that Monnery's runnin' over to that posture! You're right, Mac. That's where he's going to tell the pilot to land. Yeah, that's it. See, he's signaling. Four dots, it's H. One dot, E. Dot. Two dots are... here. How, how's the following of that airplane sitting right back? What's he's saying, Mr. Wallace? Oh... Well, gentlemen, I guess we're going to have another visit. Going to wait for him, Wallace? You bet we're going to wait for him. But what if he doesn't land before 9.5? The other boys be ready for the catch. We'll just have to take that chance. But it looks as though he is going to land. Yep, here he comes. He's got his landing lights on again. Yeah, he's leaving him on too. Say, he'll never make it in that stubble over in that field there. I don't think he will either. He's coming in too fast. No matter what he does, everybody keep quiet. He's not over. Oh, oh, gosh, that airship's on fire. Wait, quiet everybody. Let's see what they do. They're coming out. They're all running out of the cabin. I wonder if they'll be able to save the mountain. Yes, yes, they're pulling him out. Let me see what time it is. I don't know whether I can see my watch or not. Yes, the phosphorus shows up all right. It's just four minutes after nine. One minute more, I try. Bring like that. Bring coach down here, quickly. Here he is, here he is. Coach, are you full? You're full. Mr. Wallace. Yes, Mac. That was the man. The man who was in my store when the boys discovered he had a fountain bin. Yes, yes, I understand. In other words, that's your gun. That's the name, your gun. Well, it's a zero R, boys. Ready? Right. Okay, come on. What do you want? Oh, so you're Alexander York, are you? Stand up. All right. Prisk every one of those men there. Where's the lad? Where's Harold? Is Harold in here? Mac, Mac. Oh, Harold. Oh, man. Harold, your man, are we like that? You're a man, my lad. You and I, your father, see you with tears and urine. I don't know what you're talking about, Mac, but please, if I'm dead here. He's here, Harold. Come with me. I'll take you to him. Mr. Wallace. Just a minute, Mac. All right. Stand all those men up against that power wall. That's right. Well, Mac. Oh. Well, is this Harold? This is Harold Lindwell, Mr. Wallace. Harold, this is Mr. Wallace. The government, my new director, all the goons on which brought us here to rescue you. Hello, young man. Hello, Mr. Wallace. Mr. Wallace, will it be all right for you and your men if I take Harold Dune the road a piece to his favor? You bet it'll be all right. Just a minute, though. I want Harold to identify a couple of men here. All right, let's have it quiet. Quiet. Harold, uh, which one of these men here took you out of your father's cottage tonight? That one. That one there. All right, you. Step up. What's your name? Cajina. I don't mean cajina. All right. Now, Harold, which one of these men drove the car that brought you here? That's the man. There. Oh, Mr. Yorga himself, huh? Harold, you don't know how honored you were. You and your men are extremely clever, Mr. Wallace. You, uh, you know my name already, do you? Of course. It is my policy to know the name of everyone with whom I am doing business. May I congratulate you, Mr. Wallace? I do not know how you discovered us so quickly. A few moments more and we would have been out of your reach, momentarily at least. I don't think you would have been very far out of our reach, Yorga. And why not? Well, in the first place, your plane caught on fire as your stupid pilot landed in that field of stubble. And in the second place, one of Harold's friends, Lee Phillips, a cadet from Faroaks Military Academy, removed the distributor ahead from your automobile about half an hour ago. Hmm. You'd have had a pretty tough time trying to drive that car. And I'm afraid you wouldn't have gotten very far walking. I see. At least, Mr. Wallace, we did no harm to the boy. Did they, Harold? Did any of these men hurt you? No. No, they didn't hurt me. They just scared me. Well, that's quite fortunate for them. All right, Mac, take Harold down to his father. You'll be pretty glad to see him, won't you, sir? You bet I will. Okay, see you later, my boy. All right, Mac, Bradley, take them back into town. How men? Come with me, Harold. Oh, wait a minute. What's the matter? Where is Corporal Dent? Here I am, your crazy old coot. What's been keeping you? Harold, this is Corporal Dent. You're hitting him at him? No, no, I haven't. How do you do so? Oh, hello, Harold. Well... Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this boy down to see his father. All right, come on. Your father's been muckled worried about you, my lad. Gee, heavy? The cloud of all that crazy nincompoop drive I've ever met are the worst. What are you talking about, Dent? I just... Help! Is that you? Dad, Harold. You're all right. You're all right. Son. Son. Come here, boy. Oh, Dad. Dad. Well... What do you say to getting us all back into town, Mr. Bradley? Sure. The car's waiting right here. Come on. Mac. Corporal Dent. Jerry and Lee. Yes, sir? You don't know how much I want to say. Well, that... Oh, you know what's in my heart. I don't really need to say it. No. No, no. There's not to say, Mr. Linwell, except... Well, uh... I... All MacLeod does say something to say. MacLeod? Your mouth looks better closed, Corporal Dent. What were you going to say, Mac? Before I would say a rudely interrupted, I was going to express the opinion that it would be a hearty thought to stop off at MacLeod's ice cream parlor for a double chocolate nut sundae. Oh, that's all right, but it's free. Oh, that's all right. Oh, that's all right, but it's free.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz27jcNM5nM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

So today what I'm going to do is I'm going to spin up a virtual machine of KDE Neon and just give a quick overview of what Plasma 6 is all about because honestly I really liked Plasma 5 even though you know I don't run it as a daily driver even I tend to like tiling window managers. But Plasma 5 was really nice, it was light on resources, it was quite attractive and I'm hoping Plasma 6 still delivers that same sweet goodness that Plasma 5 offered but maybe you know a few minor improvements. So one of the first things I noticed when I logged in by default it defaults to Plasma on Wayland. That's the default desktop session when you go to log in. Now X11 is still there so you can log in to Plasma using X11 if you need to but with Plasma 6 they're really defaulting to Wayland now. So let's talk about first impression and for me there are two things aesthetically that jump out immediately with Plasma 6 and I am quite taken with the wallpaper and the panel that is now a floating panel right so those are new things right the wallpapers are always great with every release of KDE Plasma but this wallpaper here I've got to say is absolutely gorgeous I love it I may have to rip off this wallpaper even though I'm not gonna use Plasma as my desktop environment. I may use that wallpaper and the floating panel here at the bottom is really nice too. Now it's nice aesthetically one of the things I don't like with floating panels is you know you've got some wasted space because you've got this extra padding around a floating panel but sometimes desktop environments and window managers when they have a floating panel they will have it auto hide maybe when you you know maximize a window so I open the dolphin file manager if I make it full screen it doesn't auto hide it but you see what it did that is a very neat effect ah when you bump up against the panel it actually becomes a full screen 100% width panel like a normal panel so that solves the wasted space problem so it's only wasted space it's not really wasted space when nothing's going on but as soon as you get some windows that would take up that space the panel you know very smartly becomes that 100% wide panel I love that effect I don't think I've ever seen that before with any other desktop environment or window manager but it makes a lot of sense one thing I noticed is out of the box there is only one workspace available for us here so let me click on the settings manager here the system settings and believe they call their workspaces virtual desktop so if I do a search for virtual there it is virtual desktops yeah they only have one desktop and for me I like having more than one workspace I'm gonna add I'm gonna add three for a total of four and let's do rows let's do two rows and let's go ahead and hit apply that way I have this grid of four workspaces and I believe the default key bindings for KDE as far as switching workspaces is control and then f1 f2 f3 so let's try control f2 yeah that takes me to workspace to control f3 would take me to workspace 3 control and f1 take me back to workspace one those key bindings not crazy about those key bindings are a little convoluted but of course you can always change any of the default key bindings to whatever fits your needs now that I've got a couple of windows open let's check out the alt tab feature which is the tab switcher so if I do alt tab and hold alt and then tab me I can cycle through the open windows but that's not a whole lot of windows open let's add a few more windows so let's go ahead and go into development let's go ahead and launch the Kate text editor let's go into multimedia let's launch VLC let's launch a few things how about the system monitor and now let's try alt tab and now we get this grid view instead of everything being one line once you have enough windows open it breaks them into rows which is a nice feature and as you can see as I hold alt and then tab I can cycle through all of the open windows let me go ahead and close out all of these extra windows that really didn't want to play with I'll leave Dolphin open and one interesting key binding for those of you that are not familiar with plasma is you know they have this really neat zoom key binding now inside Dolphin you can do control plus control minus to zoom in and out on the icons but on the desktop I switch over here to the desktop itself and I do a super plus you know I can zoom in on the desktop super minus would zoom me back out so that is a really neat feature the fact that you can zoom in and out the entire desktop if you will because you know that kind of eliminates some of the needs for things like magnifying glasses you know those magnifying tools sometimes that you want to zoom in on a specific area of your desktop so that is a really nice touch now one of the biggest changes with plasma six you know one of the things that you will immediately notice is different is now let me click on the desktop directory here no nothing happened why did nothing happen is because now I have to double click to get into the desktop directory right so double click is now the default instead of single click so before everything was a single click out of the box on KDE plasma and honestly almost every Linux distribution changed that because anybody coming from any other operating system whether it be Windows or Mac or any of the BSD operating systems any other GNU slash Linux distribution that doesn't use KDE plasma everything defaults to double clicking to open a file or to get into a folder right so single click out of the box was one of those things that people complained about for decades I mean this really should have been the default 20 years ago and people had constantly been saying hey you need to make double click the default because as far as for new users to make things as user friendly as possible it needs to be double click out of the box and finally they've made the switch and I'm glad now for those of you that love single click you can of course revert back to single click their settings that you know you can get into to make single click the default again but I think most people were going to use double click anyway so I welcome that change one of the things I really have to say as I love the breeze theme now the breeze plasma theme has always been good but this modern iteration of it and this latest iteration of it looks really good Kate here looks really nice and make Kate full screen Kate of course is your plain text editor or you can really think of it as an IDE these days because it has so many features built in for example there's a get logo here so I guess it has get integration now that's very cool but you can see the plasma theme is very nice you can see it's very modern there's a lot less noise with it as well before and some of the previous versions of this breeze theme it had a lot more blue there are a lot more in set blue lines blue dividers and things and now it's a little less busy right now it's just this grayish bluish grayish color and for the most part it's very clean very plain very minimal I like that they've also played around with a little bit of the spacing things are spaced out a little more used to be that some of these elements were a little too close to the edge of the windows for for my liking now you know this is much more sleek I would say much more modern looking now although I do like the standard default breeze theme I do prefer dark theme so let's see if I can switch this to breeze dark let's go ahead and see what the dark theme looks like let's go ahead select that and hit apply and we get a new wallpaper same wallpaper it's darker colors I like that so that is very nice so it dynamically changes the wallpaper to a more dark wallpaper when you change from breeze to breeze dark you just from aesthetics just from everything just looking good and also just performance I mean all the everything is peppy and I'm in a virtual machine I didn't give this virtual machine you know crazy amounts of resources I'm only using two threads in my CPU I'm only using six gigs of RAM and this is very clean the animations you know happen instantly you can see especially this bar when it when I make something full screen the bar immediately slides it's got a slight delay which is supposed to have a slight delay for the animation effect and I'm very impressed with how they did that panel now let's check out system resource usage now Katie neon as far as the distribution that I'm using right now it doesn't ship a whole lot of things out of the box is very much just a plain a boon to 2204 LTS distribution with Katie plasma on top of it but they don't really ship with a lot of programs and extra you know services and things running in the background so this will be a good test of as far as RAM usage CPU usage so if I do control alt T to bring up the terminal because I'm a boon to and most of them to base distributions they have that key binding control alt T brings up the terminal which is console me make console full screen and I'll zoom in and let's run H top H top is not found but being that it is an a boon to base distribution we could do a sudo apt install H top give it my super secure password and now that H top is installed let's go ahead and check out system resource usage now actually memory is a little high says it's using one gigs of the six gigs of memory using a bit of CPU I wonder if I log out and log back in let's do this on a cold dude and see if things change a little bit so I logged out and logged back in just to make sure there were no background process running that would suck up a lot of RAM usage for one thing discover was checking for automatic updates so I killed the discover software center from checking for those updates because that will drastically change the readings from each top especially for RAM usage so me zoom in here and now let's run H top and you can see now we're only using 793 megs of the six gigs of RAM so about 800 megs which is pretty normal I want to say plasma 5 I was typically getting readings around the 600 to 700 megabyte range so yeah it's very similar maybe a tad high but you know I've got a lot going on and this is of course a virtual machine this is not physical hardware let's go ahead and kill each top now of course with the big release of plasma six a lot of the KDE suite of applications also saw some work done some improvements some bug fixes I can't show you much of that because this is such a minimal distribution there's really nothing installed here it's just the bare bones KDE desktop with just a couple of applications but things like for example Kate and live I know got some work done on it one last thing I want to check I always have to check the wallpaper so let's go ahead and right click on the desktop let's configure desktop and wallpaper and check out any new wallpapers that are available here so let me go ahead and make this a little bigger so a lot of these are the standard plasma wallpapers that I've seen in past releases but I was looking for the new ones here it is scarlet tree so you have a light version and a dark version depending on whether you're using breeze light or breeze dark you also have this mountain version I don't know if that was from a previous version of plasma but there is the dark version of the mountain wallpaper so that is kind of cool this one here Patek I don't know that one have I seen this wallpaper before I'm not sure if I've seen that one before or not but I quite like that wallpaper that might be the one I go with let's go ahead and apply yeah one thing I do like the dark wallpaper but I think this wallpaper is is dark it would actually contrast better against a light theme typically when you're using a dark theme you want a light wallpaper and when you're using a light theme you want a dark wallpaper this is dark on dark so I'm not crazy about that I've probably switched to a light theme if I really wanted to use the wallpaper but overall yeah that's a sexy desktop just so you know this few minutes that I've spent and you know this is my very first time checking out plasma six here on camera and I got to say I am pretty impressed as far as the looks aesthetic wise I think it is one of the most gorgeous desktops obviously that we have available on Linux and that's saying something because I think the modern versions of GNOME look very good I think the deep and desktop environment is absolutely fantastic is stunningly beautiful I mean we've got a lot of really good desktop environments on Linux but plasma six is if we were doing a beauty contest it might take first prize for those of you that want to check out plasma six if you're on a rolling release distribution chances are plasma six is already available for you to go ahead and install and then check out for those of you that are on a stable release distribution Ubuntu LTS for example so many of you guys are running Ubuntu or Kubuntu maybe you're running the last LTS there are backport PPAs available that you can add to get the latest plasma six on Ubuntu now before I go I need to think a few special people I need to think the producers of this episode gave James Matt Paul Steve

UCfvt5zgIKVQ6SCE0iIxKqSw	Vídeo 2.1. "Conócete a ti mismo" - Objetivos #EduEmocionalMOOC	Vídeo de objetivos de la unidad 2 del MOOC de #AprendeINTEF "Habilidades para la vida y alfabetización emocional en contextos educativos" #EduEmocionalMooc. Para más información, visita http://enlinea.intef.es/	[ "AprendeINTEF", "#EduEmocionalMooc", "Formación", "INTEF", "MOOC" ]	2018-07-18T08:32:23	2024-04-22T18:40:08	256	VzXBkUF9FuI	Hola, seguimos avanzando en esta experiencia de aprendizaje sobre habilidades para la vida y alfabetización emocional en contextos educativos. Soy Andrea Giralde Hayes, la autora de esta actividad formativa y te doy la bienvenida a la Unidad 2 en la que trataremos del desarrollo de la autoconciencia, el conocimiento de sí mismo y el manejo de emociones o autoregulación emocional como base de cualquier proceso de alfabetización emocional y desarrollo de habilidades para la vida. Te has preguntado alguna vez qué hace a un buen profesor, el dominio de su materia, el conocimiento de métodos pedagógicos, la experiencia, su manera de ser, quizás sea una mezcla de todo esto y algunas otras cualidades importantes. De hecho, en los últimos años cada vez han sido más las investigaciones que han sugerido que la calidad de un docente no se relaciona solo con sus conocimientos teóricos ni con las condiciones en las que trabaja sino también y fundamentalmente con el grado de desarrollo de sus habilidades para la vida, incluyendo como parte de estas las destrezas emocionales. La mayoría de los docentes llega a la educación con la ilusión de cambiar la vida de sus estudiantes e inspirar el amor por el aprendizaje o desarrollar pensadores críticos. Sin embargo, las investigaciones muestran que muchos pierden este entusiasmo e incluso abandonan la profesión a los pocos años de comenzar, al tiempo que el estrés y el síndrome del burnout son frecuentes en un porcentaje importante de profesoras y profesores. Esto se debe, en parte, al hecho de que en la formación inicial y permanente del profesorado se ha ignorado o minimizado la importancia del desarrollo personal de los docentes. De hecho, la mayor parte de esta formación se relaciona con contenidos disciplinares, métodos, recursos didácticos, técnicas, planes o programas, pero no con la alfabetización emocional y el desarrollo de otras habilidades intra e interpersonales. Y cuando se habla de estos temas, es solo para solicitar a los docentes que contribuyen a la educación emocional de sus alumnos, algo que no es posible si ellos mismos no han pasado antes por un proceso de desarrollo personal. Si el entrenamiento en habilidades para la vida no forma parte de las distintas fases formativas, no podemos asumir que todos los educadores las posean en la misma medida. Cierto es que algunos cuentan con un mayor desarrollo de estas habilidades, pero la inmensa mayoría se beneficiaría al recibir formación y apoyo para mejorar sus habilidades psicosociales, algo que a su vez tendría un impacto directo en los estudiantes. Pero por dónde comenzar? Sin duda por desarrollar la conciencia de sí mismo o autoconciencia, que es lo que permitirá identificar y manejar las propias emociones y también conocerse cada vez mejor, siendo esto la base de cualquier proceso de alfabetización emocional y crecimiento personal. En esta unidad te proponemos realizar una serie de tareas que te ayudarán a dar los primeros pasos y avanzar desde el nivel en el que te encuentras ahora. Todo ello contribuirá a que puedas alcanzar los siguientes objetivos, reconocer la importancia de la autoconciencia y el autoconocimiento como base para el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de cualquier habilidad psicosocial, experimentar con algunas herramientas y estrategias que faciliten el desarrollo de la autoconciencia, el autoconocimiento y el manejo de emociones y avanzar en el desarrollo de habilidades que permiten la mejora de tu bienestar como docente. ¿Preparados? Comenzamos.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzXBkUF9FuI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCTj8uOe-T0TQmbe6Y3LuAXw	2018-10-02 Question Period	Question Period: October 2, 2018	[ "yt:quality=high", "Legislative Assembly Of Ontario (Governmental Body)", "Ontario Legislature", "Question Period" ]	2018-10-02T17:22:16	2024-02-05T17:30:54	3,986	vzg2dn_F3ZY	It is now time for oral questions. I recognize the leader of the official opposition. Thank you, Speaker. My first question is for the Premier. In the Premier's briefing on the NAFTA renegotiation yesterday, was he updated on the status of the U.S. Steel and aluminum tariffs that are still being applied to Canadian goods? Premier. Through you, Mr. Speaker, before I answer the question of the Leader of the Opposition, first, I want to congratulate Dr. Donna Strickland. Dr. Donna Strickland has just been awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics. That's a huge applause. Mr. Speaker, she's the first Canadian woman ever to receive this award and the first woman in 55 years. She teaches at the University of Waterloo and she's from Guelph, Ontario. So, Dr. Donna Strickland, congratulations. Through you, Mr. Speaker, we want to make sure the world knows that Ontario is open for business. That is why our government, the PC government, stood shoulder to shoulder with the federal government when it came to negotiations. We're calling on the Trudeau government to use federal funds to compensate Ontario dairy farmers. We need to support our dairy farmers, we need to support our farmers, our steel and aluminum workers, and to make sure they aren't being used as bargaining chips. I'm asking the Leader of the Opposition and her caucus to stand with us as we stood side by side with the federal government, stand with us to support the farmers, the steel workers, the aluminum workers, to make sure they are compensated by the Trudeau government. Start the clock, supplementary. Well, the tariffs have been in place since June and they're having a devastating effect not just on the steel industry, but on the entire manufacturing sector, Speaker, and the people who rely on that sector for good jobs. They're worried about the future. Across the border in Quebec, the provincial government didn't delay. They stepped up in June with direct financial aid to companies affected by the tariffs. When will the Premier take similar action here? Through you, Mr. Speaker, our number one priority was to make sure we got the deal done. That was critical and I congratulate the federal government for getting the job done. But keep in mind, nearly 9 million Americans' jobs depend on the Canadian and U.S. trade investments. But even more importantly, there's $389 billion of trade going back and forth just between Ontario and the U.S., split almost equally. There is a billion jobs, a million jobs, I wish there was a billion jobs, a million jobs at stake right here in Ontario. And again, I'm asking the leader of the opposition and the caucus, the whole NDP caucus, to stand with us, support the farmers, support the aluminum and steel workers, and we can support them. Final supplementary. Mr. Speaker, people worried about losing their shift or losing a job don't want to hear politicians passing the buck when their jobs are at risk and they're worried about the future. In the province of Quebec, the government stepped up. They stepped up with direct financial aid, money for training, for steel, for aluminum and for the agricultural sector. My question to our Premier in this province is, is this Premier willing to step up with provincial assistance? Through you Mr. Speaker and the leader of the opposition, we're still waiting for the federal government to give us some numbers. We're going to be meeting with the agriculture industry this afternoon, looking forward to speaking to them, and then later on in the week we're going to be meeting the steel and aluminum industry. I asked the Prime Minister directly yesterday on the phone, where's the money? Where's the money we're waiting for to support the steel and aluminum workers? And I didn't get a straight answer. I'm looking forward to that straight answer. But I can assure all the agriculture industry, I can assure the steel and aluminum workers that we're standing behind them, unlike the NDP that I didn't see one of them stand up to support any of those industries, I will assure that they will have a close ally and a friend with a PC government. Start the clock. Next question. It's not so, but nonetheless, Speaker, the truth is that in Quebec they had a Premier that did step up, didn't wait around, stepped up and tried to help those issues. That is also to the Premier, though, Speaker, because we are joined today by farmers here in our legislature and for those farmers who have relied on supply management to ensure they can earn a living and pay the bills while they do the hard work of feeding our families, the renegotiated NAFTA is devastating news. What details does the Premier have about the federal compensation that will be offered? Through you, Mr. Speaker, again, if the leader of the opposition actually stood shoulder to shoulder with the PC government, as we did with the Liberal government, we might be able to work a lot better. We need to stand as a united team here in Ontario. We need to have a united team to protect the jobs, go close to the million jobs that all these industries create day in and day out again. I'm asking the NDP to put their partisanship to the side just once, just once, and stand with us. And as for the Premier of Quebec, I spoke to the new Premier of Quebec last night. What a great job he's going to do, and he's looking forward to working with Ontario because he's fiscally responsible just like the... Stop clocking. Supplementary. Well, Speaker, the fact is that many farm families believe that the federal compensation won't be enough and they're asking serious questions, Speaker, serious questions about whether they can keep going as a system that made their farm sustainable is chipped away. Is the Premier prepared to provide additional assistance and programs from the province to ensure that farms are sustainable in the long term? Premier. Through you, Mr. Speaker. The Leader of the Opposition, right, it never ends. Fear mongering. The Leader of the Opposition doesn't ever clue what it is because she doesn't know. I don't know because it wasn't told to us yesterday when we were on the call. Matter of fact, no province knows what they have in hand. But I can reassure, again, the farmers, you have an ally. You have a friend. We look forward to sitting down with you this afternoon, but once we do find out that number, I can assure you we're going to support them like they've never seen before. The clock again. Final supplementary. Sure. There are a little bit concerned, Speaker, seeing how the government didn't step up to help the steel and aluminum industries. But farm families are wondering whether they should actually continue in farming or pack it in. People are looking for solutions. Not politicians passing the buck back and forth across the table. This is a chance for the Premier to show leadership in the job that he actually holds. Not waiting for the federal government, but show some leadership in the job that he holds. In other provinces, provincial leaders have stepped up to the plate. Will we see that leadership from this Premier? Premier. Through you, Mr. Speaker, I find it so ironic listening to the Leader of the Opposition. When I was in Hamilton over at the Fasco right down the street where the Leader lives, I heard how we helped them. We got rid of the cap and trading the carbon tax. We talked to their employers. They said they haven't talked to the frontline workers and they loved it that I showed up. Maybe the Leader of the Opposition should pay him a visit once in a while in her own backyard. Once again, I'm going to remind the House that personal attacks of any sort do not elevate the debate. Next question. Leader of the Opposition, start the clock. Next question is also for the Premier. The opioid crisis is killing people on a daily basis. Families with loved ones caught in addiction know that overdose prevention sites save lives. The Minister of Health had promised that the Premier would make a decision about proceeding with overdose prevention sites by the end of last week. Instead, we see more delay and more excuses and tragically more preventable deaths. When will this Premier stop dithering and make a decision? Premier. Minister of Community and Social Services. Minister of Children, Community and Social Services. Thank you very much, Speaker. I appreciate the question from the member opposite. But let me be perfectly clear. The Minister of Health has received an extension on three-pause sites. They received that extension from the federal government. But this government, and I want to be very clear, we are committed to getting people struggling with addiction the help that they need. That's why this government will be making an unprecedented $3.8 billion in the last several years, knows that we have been a leader in the fight against opioids in this province, calling for a task force that the previous government took nine months. If you want to talk about delay, it was the previous Liberal administration that didn't get the job done. We were leaders on banning the pill press, and that's something that we've talked about. We've talked about NICS law, making sure that there's more awareness and greater advertising against the opioid crisis. So I'll stand here on behalf of the Minister of Health and tell them that we're ready and committed to doing the work this month. Next question, or rather. Thank you, Speaker. What the Minister failed to talk about is the $330 million cut in mental health and addiction finances. A single day that this decision is delayed, it means more people are dying. And when people are no longer alive, they cannot seek treatment, Speaker. The evidence is overwhelming. These sites are saving lives. What evidence is the Premier waiting for? Minister. I fairly reject the premise of the Leader of the Official Opposition's question. This government is going to bring in an unprecedented level of funding for mental health, addictions and supportive housing to the tune of $3.8 billion. Distantly, meeting and Tory across the province to those and Speaker, we have hit the pause button on three injection sites. The federal government has allowed that extension, and we are committed on this side of the House in ensuring that we have the broader support for those people who are struggling with mental health and addictions. Member for Hastings, Lennox and Addington. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister of Economic Development, Job, Creation and Trade. Yesterday, the United States, Canada and Mexico agreed to a new trade agreement called the USMCA. The new agreement included major, major concessions from Canada's agricultural industry on Class 7 milk increased access to Ontario's dairy, chicken and egg market. One thing is clear, Mr. Speaker. Ontario's dairy, chicken and egg farmers are the ones that are on the hook for this federal government's negotiation position. So, could the Minister please inform this legislature today of what our government for the people is doing to stand up for this very, very critical part of Ontario's agricultural industry? Minister of Economic Development, Job, Creation and Trade. Thank you to my honourable colleague for the question. For months now, Ontario has been working with the federal government, going down to Washington, and standing up for Ontario workers, Ontario farmers, steel workers, aluminum workers. And we were disappointed yesterday that the federal government, everyone's known that dairy's been on the table for a while, didn't have any details of a compensation package ready. It was unacceptable, as one of my colleagues just said. It was shocking, and it's also shocking that they left the steel and aluminum tariffs on the table, Mr. Speaker, because while they might have a new NAFTA here, the U.S. still has the ability to put tariffs on anything they want in the future, therefore making the new NAFTA practically useless. So it's steel and aluminum today. It could be something else in the future, depending on what the flavour of the month is down there. So we call upon the federal government to come forward immediately with the details in the compensation to our dairy industry. We need to make dairy, poultry and eggs whole again. We need to save the 3,600 family farms that are active in the dairy industry in Ontario, and that's what we're going to do, Mr. Speaker. We're going to stand up for Ontario farmers. Supplementary, start the clock. Mr. Speaker, thank you so kind of for your response and your affirmative action on this file. It's a relief to hear that really our government continues to do it prior to defend this important part of agricultural community. And the many, many families that depend on this. This is just not an industry. This is a group of families across this province. And we're aware, of course, as well as the minister testified at the U.S. Department of Commerce public hearings on section 32, which is the investigation of imports on autos and auto parts. And despite reaching an agreement on principle the other day, discussions around steel and aluminum have been inconclusive. We have heard that. 25% tariffs on steel and 10% tariffs on aluminum still remain in place. So could the minister please inform this legislature of our government's position on these tariffs that continue to actually penalize Ontario's industry? Mr. Speaker, thank you again to my colleague for an excellent question. As I said in the first part of my answer, while the threat of tariffs remains, after you can drive a Mack truck through it, they solved for a time being the threat of auto tariffs and auto parts tariffs. And then they say to us on the phone premier yesterday that section 232 tariffs on aluminum steel and God knows what else in the future are separate issues. Well, they're not separate issues. The technical briefing then at one o'clock said they had tried to discuss that at the table, but were rejected. The U.S. didn't want to. They want to keep hanging this over our heads. Well, if they keep hanging this over our heads, thousands and thousands of people on this side of the border will be affected. Their jobs could be affected and millions on the other side of the border. And so we're asking the NDP today to stand with us to stop putting down the police and stand up for workers. Once again, I'll remind members that these kinds of personal attacks lead to a degeneration of the debate. We don't want to go there like we did last week. House will come to order. Order. Order. I start the clock. Next question. Member for Tomiskaming Cochran. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. All farmers are impacted by trade deals. The new NAFTA agreement will have a major impact on dairy and poultry sectors and everyone else involved in the industry, including processors. It was signed by the federal government, but agriculture is one of the sectors that has federal provincial responsibility. Under the deal for dairy, class 7 of milk was eliminated. The classes are regulated provincially under the Milk Act. That's not a federal issue. And the elimination of class 7 could have a much bigger destabilizing impact than the loss of market access, which should be compensated. But the destabilization could permanently damage supply management. What is the provincial government going to do to stabilize the industry because of the elimination of class 7, which is a provincial responsibility? Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And I thank the member for the question. I know many Ontarians, including our agriculture communities, are concerned about what the new USMCA deal could mean for industries that rely on trade. We're still reviewing what the impact of these changes will be, including the class 7. However, it's clear that the concessions made in the new agreement will hurt our supply-managed sector, particularly the dairy. We have reached out to our stakeholders and are committed to continue to work with them as we determine the details of the impact of this new deal. We're calling on the Chudeau government to use federal funds to compensate dairy farmers. This new deal cannot leave our farmers behind. Farming jobs and farming families must never be used as bargaining chips. From day one, we have offered full support for our farmers. Our Premier and our Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade traveled to Washington to raise the concerns and make sure our farmers are top of mind. We will continue to stand by... Thank you. Thank you. Supplementary. The long-term stability of our dairy farm families relies on the stability of our milk classification process. The elimination of class 7 destabilizes that process. The classification system is a provincial responsibility. This isn't about federal compensation, which is a totally separate issue. This is about the provincial responsibility to maintain the stability of the system on which farmers and Ontario consumers and Canadian consumers have relied on for over 50 years. Again, to the Minister, what action is the government going to take to stabilize the milk classes so supply management can continue to exist? Thank you, Speaker. Minister. Well, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And again, thank the member for the question. And as I said, we are continuing to review the impact of this new deal in its entirety and its impact on our dairy industry. That includes class 7. The issues in that deal are negotiated by the federal government, and the responsibility to look after that is the responsibility of the federal government. And so that's why we need to make sure we review the process and then make sure the federal government deals with the financial assistance to our farmers in a way that deals with all the impacts they have created through this negotiation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Attorney General. Yesterday an article in The Toronto Sun reported that over the last five years, gun violence and murders have spiked across the greater Toronto area. The article stated that shootings are up more than 130% from just a few years ago, and with three months remaining in 2018, the city is expected to smash its all-time record high of 89 homicides set back in 1991. The article also found that not since 2007 has Toronto seen so many killings in a single year. Mr. Speaker, the people of my riding and all throughout the GTA are understandably concerned about the levels of violence experienced in our city this year. Could the Minister please share with us the work this government is currently doing to stop gun violence in Toronto? Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank the member from Mississaugas Cooksville for that thoughtful question. No one should have to live in fear of gun violence, and our hearts go out to the many people across the city and this province who have been affected by violent gun crime, which is why in August our government announced that it is taking action to protect families by investing $25 million in new funding over four years in initiatives aimed at fighting gang and gun violence. This includes investing over $7 million over the next four years in a brand new intensive firearm bail support team, which will support existing justice resources. The team will consist of five crowns and five case management coordinators who will work with police to develop local expertise and compile information to ensure that the strongest possible evidence is placed before the courts when the crown is seeking detention for serious firearm charges. Having dedicated crowns to focus on firearm bails will help keep people who presented danger to the public off our streets. Mr. Speaker, I'm happy to report that as of yesterday the team is up and running. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank the Attorney General for that update. I agree that it's important that people feel safe in their communities and I'm glad that our government is taking action to ensure that is the case. There have been too many tragic headlines over the past year and I look forward to the success of this initiative as well as all efforts aimed at curbing gun violence. Mr. Speaker, the Attorney General has given us good news with the announcement that our legal SWAT teams are now in place and I'm hoping that she can provide further information on how they will assist in keeping violence off our streets. Thank you. The Attorney General. Mr. Speaker, I'm very happy to provide further information to the member and to his constituents. On August 4th, I stood with the Premier and the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services to announce this initiative and yesterday I met with the team and I can tell you that they're enthusiastic about getting to work and putting a dent in gun violence experienced in this city this year. It was our aim to have this team up and running in six to eight weeks and Mr. Speaker, yesterday was their first day on the job. They're stationed at courthouses across the city and moving where they need to go on a daily basis. They're working with the police to ensure that the best possible evidence is before the courts during a bail hearing. It's an innovative approach that will deliver real results to tackle gun crime in the city of Toronto. Next question, the member for Toronto, Dan Ford. Thank you, Speaker. My question to the Minister of the Environment. Ontario is facing potential for many billions of dollars of damages and potential loss of life from climate change-related extreme weather events in the years to come. Cap and trade funds were raised to reduce emissions from greenhouse sources. The projects were meant to help protect Ontarians for the future. But when the government wound down Cap and trade, they cancelled many initiatives that would have helped reduce emissions, including hundreds of millions of dollars for hospital, school and social housing upgrades. It was not necessary to cancel those initiatives. So can the government inform the House as to what they will be using the Cap and trade funds for, if not for reducing emissions? Mr. Speaker, through you to the member and thank you for the question. He's quite right that this government did make a clear commitment in the election, that it would wind down the Cap and trade program. One of the first actions of this government was to do that and as a result, we're putting $260 back in the pockets of Ontario families. He raises the question about Cap and trade funds. Some of the Cap and trade funds that were going to be spent, for example, were on an electric truck company that's backed by Warren Buffett and Chinese billionaires. We decided those weren't good things to spend money on that Ontario taxpayers were subsidizing. The monies that have been raised, have been raised under a charge that was appropriately for greenhouse gas reduction. The funds that were raised for that will be used either to fight greenhouse gas reductions or for the wind down of that fund, as I've said before. Thank you. Supplementary. Thank you, Speaker. The minister says the funds meant to be spent to reduce emissions will be spent for that purpose. That's what he says. Then why did the government cut funding for schools and hospitals when those projects would have cut emissions? Minister. Mr. Speaker, I don't know entirely what funds the members talking about, but let's tell what we did, which was responsible. The responsible thing to do, Mr. Speaker, when we canceled the Cap and trade program because it was ineffective, was to cut the funding, remove the dollars that were being spent, that were raised by that order. It was the only responsible thing the government... Member for Waterloo, come to order. Premier, come to order. The only responsible thing that the government could do at the end of that... Here, come to order. You committed to the orderly wind-down of the Cap and trade program, and this fall we'll talk about a made in Ontario solution, a solution that doesn't take money out of Ontario's pockets, but reduces greenhouse gases. Question, the member for Don Valley East. Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Bill 148 brought in fair and important changes to the Employment Standards Act for workers in this province. Mr.... Government side, come to order. Mr. Speaker, I think it's reasonable that workers be given fair notice or compensation when their employer cancels their shift. It allows employees to have some stability in their schedule if they're going to school, to ensure that they have adequate childcare, and if they're working a second job. But Mr. Speaker, we've heard from the Premier, or we've heard from this government, that they're considering rolling back these changes in addition to cancelling a $15 minimum wage. Does the Premier believe that it's fair that work can be done and work can be cancelled only hours before a shift with no compensation? And my question to the speaker, my question through you, Mr. Speaker, to the Premier, will he commit today to not rolling back this important aspect within the legislation? Premier? Through you, Mr. Speaker. When I traveled across this province and talked to thousands and thousands of people, I found out very, very quickly that number one issue was high. Well, number two was bill 148 that your party destroyed this province and put us in more debt than we've ever had along the subnational debt in the entire world thanks to the Liberal government. We're going to make sure we tell the world Ontario is open for business. We're going to make sure we're competitive around the world. We're getting rid of bill 148. We're going to make sure we protect the frontline workers because 60,000 people lost their jobs under bill 148. So there's going to be certain aspects that we disagree with 148, certain aspects of the bill, but let me try another point to this question, Mr. Speaker. Premier? I hesitate to interrupt the member. The government side has to come to order. The member has a right to place his question. Again, I apologize to the member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I'm going to ask a very simple question to the Premier. 1.6 million Ontarians do not have sick days. In the legislation, it guarantees two days to Ontarians. Mr. Speaker, this is about decency for employees. Employees that work hard to support businesses here in the province of Ontario. And I think when those people go out, that 1.6 million Ontarians go out and support businesses, the businesses should support the people that support those businesses. Does the Premier believe that two sick days is too much for people in Ontario? He says he stands up for the little guy. He says he stands up for the people of Ontario. Two sick days is decency, Mr. Speaker. Premier. Through you, Mr. Speaker, and to the member of Don Valley East. Again, when I crisscross this province, and I talk to the people that earn minimum wage, the ones that even were able to keep their job at going to the little home hardware, rather than having seven employees, they cut three employees because of Bill 148. And the people on minimum wage, we're actually going to give them a tax credit. Unlike the Liberals that jacked their taxes off over a thousand supporting minimum wage workers, and we're going to create more jobs until we can hire more people. Unlike the Liberals that destroyed this province. Next question. The member for Peterborough Corritha. Mr. Speaker, whether or not to the member from Nipissing, my question is to the Minister of many things, including children, community and social services. More than 34,000 illegal border crossers have entered our country since 2017. Overloading our housing and social assistance systems, so much so that the federal government is forced to put them in hotels across the GTA. Today, we learned that their stays being extended by four weeks while they wait for their silent claims to be heard. Meanwhile, the federal minister responsible has tried to tell us that the overwhelming majority have left Canada. Pure fiction costs are piling up. Would the minister please tell us how Ontario will handle the growing financial burden to services such as education, legal aid, social assistance and emergency shelter? Response, the Minister of Children, Community and Social Services. My greatest appreciation to the member opposite who I've been speaking with on immigration and refugee issues for the past week. I want to be very clear, and I hope the federal Liberals are listening, that the federal government has sole jurisdiction over border management in this country on Canada's asylum and refugee programs, including who is eligible to make a refugee claim. The federal government's failed policies at the border in Quebec have allowed people to enter this country illegally and then seek asylum without following the proper processes. This government, the board government, has called on the federal government to actively manage the influx of illegal border crossers and to provide full compensation to the province of Ontario at the tune of $200 million. And those concerns and those questions, and there has been no indication that the federal government will pay for it. Thank you, Speaker, and thank you to the minister for her detailed answer. I understand the cost Ontario faces. The minister has been perfectly clear in this house. Some would say crystal clear, with the federal ad hoc committee on migration, with the minister of immigration on the $200 million that's owed to Ontario. Mr. Speaker, the stack of bills is mounting. The ministry for children, community and social services still needs to pay for its priorities. Programs for autistic children, funding for the children's aid society, youth and care, custody and so much more. Does the minister believe that the costs for illegal border crossings are increasing and in light of the state of the deficit and the results from the line by line audit, do these escalating costs concern the minister? Minister. More to say on some of the extensive costs that we're starting to see as a result of kids going back to school in September. But let me be clear, the federal government should be compensating Ontario for $74 million and growing in temporary housing in the city of Toronto, $11 million and growing in the city of Ottawa for temporary shelters, $3 million has been given to the Red Cross, $20 million for primary secondary education spaces, and $90 million and growing on the social assistance rates. Our government isn't the only ones that are concerned. There's a new government elected in Quebec that is in line with where we're at in telling the federal government that they have to pay their bills. And we also have all premiers across this great country that have lined up shoulder to shoulder with our premier in saying that the federal government should fully compensate the costs of the province. And that's not it. The federal liberal MP that says the only fair thing for everybody to do is process them quickly and I think that's where the government's weakness is. That's John McKay, a federal liberal. Start the clock. Member for Davenport. Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education. It's now October and students have been taught an archaic curriculum for one month now. A curriculum that does not address the current realities that Ontario students are facing. Teachers, students, concerned parents to name a few have literally stood on the lawns of Queens Park speaking out against this sex ed curriculum rollback. But it is painfully clear that this government has not been listening to them. And then last Friday, the government quietly released a predetermined form online that appears to be this government's version of the largest consultation in Ontario's history. And then the minister said the government will only be promoting the consultations within their regions. So which is it? Will we be seeing consultations in every riding in the province or will the government only be picking and choosing which voices they feel like hearing? Minister of Education. Well thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I can tell you we are very assertively addressing the archaic math curriculum that's out there. We heard loud and clear that from parents that the math was not cutting it. And our consultation is going to be very comprehensive starting off with hearing from parents hearing from teachers hearing from businesses how we can better equip our students to be competitive in today's global economy. I can tell you that people attending our guest today in the members gallery will be applauding us for taking a look at steps, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Everything that the agri-food and the business of food in particular need to be competitive in today's global economy. We are moving forward and I invite every single member in this house to participate and read your mail. You receive information on Friday. Start the clock supplementary. Friday Mr. Speaker we're actually the school boards right? The public didn't find out anything but Mr. Speaker back to the Minister of Education that was an incredible non-answer. I suspect that perhaps she's feeling a little ashamed looking up to the table Minister, students and teachers must be consulted. Indigenous youth must be consulted queer and trans youth differently abled youth. They must be responsible of this government to make decisions without listening to those who are going to be the most impacted. Mr. Speaker why is this government trying to handpick who will be involved in the sex ed consultations to be afraid of hearing? Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I would suggest to everyone in the house today watching this is a lesson and not what to do. This is a lesson on how not to stand up and be poor opposition. We need to have an opposition that stands with us and go back because she was absolutely incorrect in saying that the members have not received information. I can confirm 100% that everybody received information about this consultation on Friday. We're very proud to be embarking on an initiative that's going to invite business, parents, teachers sports, trustees every single person who wants to exercise their voice about STEM, about job skills about medical health and physical education. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Speaker and my question is to the Minister of Finance Minister when I listen to your speech on the findings of the Independent Financial Commission of Inquiry like most Ontarians I was truly shocked to hear the reality of the province's financial situation clearly our government needs to take action to fix the financial problems that we have inherited from the previous government but we must also determine how the situation was ever allowed to get this bad that's why I am encouraged that the motion to form a select committee on financial transparency was passed this morning could the Minister please reiterate the importance of the select committee on financial transparency that is being formed Minister of Finance member from Glambrook this morning we took the next step in restoring accountability and trust in government the formation of the select committee on financial transparency solidifies our government's commitment to restoring the public's faith we must remember we are in unprecedented time in history the public's trust has been shattered the previous government's accounting scheme was deliberately designed to keep the true cost of the Liberals spending off the books this is simply unacceptable the select committee on financial transparency is a necessity they will find up speaker find out speaker who came up with this scheme where's the money thank you Mr. Speaker back to the Minister I really encourage that we are taking action to restore accountability and trust and I'm confident that the select committee on financial transparency will discover where these schemes came from and hold those responsible to account however over the past week many of our critics have claimed that the select committee isn't necessary the naysayers and critics have shrugged off its importance but there is a larger principle that is accountability it's unfortunate some people simply don't recognize the importance of seeking accountability could the Minister please inform the House why restoring accountability and trust is so important for our government Minister thank you Speaker and thank you to the member the importance of restoring accountability and trust cannot be understated remember it was the auditor general who used words and I'm going to quote her like conceal bogus, deceptive and unreliable she used those words to describe liberal documents tabled right here in this legislature the auditor general also issued this warning to the people of Ontario again I quote when governments pass legislation to make their own accounting rules that serve to obfuscate the impact of their financial decision their financial statements become unreliable that is why accountability and trust need to be restored it was absent in the previous government Speaker we can calculate the cost of the deficit but we cannot calculate the cost of the trust deficit start the clock member for Hamilton West and Castro Dundas my question this morning is for the minister for seniors in accessibility this government recently made a decision to ignore the concerns of both investors investment regulators and seniors advocate groups such as a Canadian association of retired persons who call for the banning of deferred sales charges on mutual funds Mr. Speaker people across our province struggle to save and put a little money aside for their retirement and these deferred charges are an unnecessary and extra burden on these people so why is this government ignoring the voices of seniors and people who are saving for their retirement Minister responsible for seniors in accessibility thank you for the question I'd like to refer the question to the minister of finance minister of finance thank you our government is absolutely committed to making Ontario a competitive place a place that we can invest in grow and create jobs and we want the world to know that Ontario is open for business we will continue to work with other provinces other territories other stakeholders to explore potential alternatives outside of the measures of the Ontario security commission what they are proposing is one thing we will continue to work with our partners to look for other proposals we want the market to be a fair place for investors thank you complimentary Mr. Speaker back to the minister for seniors in accessibility Mr. Speaker if this government won't listen to our own seniors and groups like Carp who say that deferred sales charges mean Ontarians will not be able to invest or fund their retirement effectively will they listen to investment regulators such as the Canadian security commission and the Ontario security commission who study these charges and they have long described these fees as bad for investors or is this really about making money Mr. Speaker thank you very much but I won't thank the member for the insult to our party whatsoever I do find those types of comments are not helpful in this legislature she's not only impugning motive she doesn't have her facts right Mr. Speaker the member should understand what the deferred commissions she may want to study what happened in the UK with embedded commissions and how this did not work she may need to do a little bit of studying of other embedded commissions and the damage that it caused elsewhere throughout the world and begin to understand that we're trying to consult with the other provinces the other territories and other stakeholders to make sure that our marketplace is a fair place Mr. Speaker we've got the people of all of the people in mind as we continue to look for a better way next question the member for Scarborough Agent Court Mr. Speaker my question today is for the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Mr. Speaker Ontario's dedicated correctional officers and the staff have faced a significant amount of work related to the previous liberal governments neglect and their failure to act in providing these men and women with the tools they need to perform their duties safely and effectively after 15 years of mismanagement by the previous liberal government our dedicated correctional officers and the staff would ignore for too long Speaker the safety of our hard working and dedicated correctional officers will no longer be ignored to the Minister can you please update the members of this legislator on what you are doing to enhance security and improve safety in Ontario's correctional system Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the member for Scarborough Agent Court for the question Mr. Speaker this past Friday I was proud to stand alongside the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and the member from Chatham Kent Leamington to announce our governments new plan to enhance safety and security at Elgin Middle Sex Detention Centre Mr. Speaker as the member stated the previous liberal government failed to act and left our correctional officers and staff in harm's way for over 15 years prior to this announcement I visited the City of London and heard first hand the challenges that frontline officers and staff are encountering at Elgin Middle Sex Detention Centre as well as the challenges being faced by police and community members in the city Our government is listening and remains committed to providing our hard working and dedicated correctional officers and staff the necessary tools and resources they need to do their jobs properly Thank you Supplementary Mr. Speaker I want to thank Mr. Speaker for his response I am proud to stand here today knowing that our government for the people is taking the safety and the security of our correctional officers and staff seriously Speaker Our hard working and dedicated correctional staff deserve better after 15 long years of mismanagement and neglect by the previous liberal government Speaker Can the Minister please explain the actions he is taking to address the safety of our neighbourhoods and security of the provinces hard working and dedicated correctional officers and staff Minister Thank you Mr. Speaker and I thank the member for that question In response to the recent inmate overdoses at Elgin Middle Sex Detention Centre our government introduced enhanced safety and security measures so that our correctional officers and staff can perform their duties safely and effectively Mr. Speaker as of yesterday staff at EMDC will have access to a dedicated canine unit additional correctional officers enhanced body scanner training and new drug detection kits to quickly identify whether a found substance is contraband In addition Mr. Speaker we have a hospital escort team for inmate healthcare needs our government also plans on hiring more healthcare staff to support inmate care enhancing staff training to recognize the signs of potential overdoses response piloting an ion scanner that can identify trace elements of drugs on items that enter our facilities Mr. Speaker we are using evidence based on Thank you Mr. Speaker Black Creek Thank you Mr. Speaker My question is for the Minister of Government and Consumer Services Now that John Tavares is on the leafs roster we all know Thank you We all know there will be a Stanley Cup in Toronto next year You heard it here first but there is a but after reading investigative reports that have shocked sports and music fans not only in Canada but the United States as well it's clear that most hockey fans in my riding won't be able to afford Maple Leaf tickets This is because of unethical ticket scalping practices that have been not only tolerated but enabled by Ticketmaster What is the Minister doing on unethical and unfair sales practices Minister of Government and Consumer Services Well thanks very much to the member opposite for the question Finally we found something that we can agree on with the NDP I couldn't be happier that John Tavares is a member of the buds here in Toronto this year We commence on our Stanley Cup Parade I can tell you that what was happening previously was that our government on the ticket sale issue wasn't actually helping those who wanted to attend sporting events and concerts and other big events that were happening This first came to light when the unfortunate diagnosis of Gord Downey of the tragically hip occurred and the government made some changes to the Ticket Speculation Act during that summer and the Attorney General here in Ontario making sure that we bring in some legislation that has some teeth so we can keep ticket prices low for those who want to attend these events Supplement teeth One of the very first things this government did when an assumed office was to block legislation that would have stopped scalpers from selling tickets for more than 50% of the face value I don't remember the Premier telling anyone before the election he would do this Why was it suddenly the government's top priority after the election to help Ticketmaster and the scalpers while hurting music fans and hockey fans Minister Speaker I should acknowledge as well that this is the first question from my critic and I appreciate the question in the legislature this morning but I should say that what the Liberals used to do in the government of Ontario was they would bring in pieces of legislation that actually were just all about fluff they made you feel like the government was actually doing something when clearly the legislation didn't do anything to attack the problem at hand and that was ensuring that ticket prices remained affordable for the average person across the province what we've done is we've paused the implementation to bring in legislation that's going to take these scalpers off the streets that's going to take these scalpers offline it's not just simply putting it down on a piece of paper that you're going to bring in legislation you actually have to have legislation that's enforceable we're bringing in meaningful legislation for the people of Ontario Start the clock next question member for Niagara West Tourism culture and sport this past Monday the Minister for Tourism Culture and Sport visited the Niagara region and engaged with stakeholders on red tape reduction and tourism the wine culinary and agritourism industries are a growing and key component of tourism in Ontario adding good jobs to our economy especially in the Niagara region I'm proud to call home so could the Minister please explain to the House what steps our premier and government are taking to making sure that Niagara and Ontario is finally open for business Minister of Tourism Culture thank you for the question and thank you for participating in the roundtable yesterday it was very valuable because there is no doubt that our Niagara region is a success story we have some incredible businesses that are doing great work but we need to do better as a government and part of the roundtables goal was to listen to those stakeholders listen to those agribusinesses listen to those tourism operators who are in the red tape blocking their ability to expand we want to make sure that Ontario is open for business and yesterday was the first good step towards that goal thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you that all of our caucus and cabinet colleagues have to deal with, whether it's municipal affairs and housing, whether it's infrastructure, finance. All of us need to work together to make sure that the regulations that are in place are protecting our people and our business, but also that the regulations make sense. And it was enlightening and very helpful to have those stakeholders share very specific examples of how we can do better. And I can assure the member that with his help and with our government open for business, we will do that. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. Speaker, Sunrise Place Non-profit Housing Co-op is a vibrant 58-unit seniors building in my riding. Sunrise has to replace their makeup air unit, which brings in fresh air from outside. It would improve air quality and reduce energy. The cost of replacement is $105,000. Sunrise applied for the green on social housing grant and was successful. Unfortunately, as of July 9, this grant has now been canceled and with it the money for Sunrise. Does this government want seniors in Oshawa to be able to breathe easily, and will this government reinstate the grant to cover the cost of the air quality unit? Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. Mr. Speaker, through you to the member, and I appreciate the question. As I've said before in this legislature, when our government was elected on the basis of getting rid of the cap-and-trade program, responsibly we also needed to wind down the cost of the various items that were being paid for by that program. And so very early we announced to transfer partners that we would be doing that. It's being wound down in a very orderly fashion. We're working with the various organizations that were transfer partners. In some cases because the contracts have been signed, programs are going forward. In the cases where they're not, the responsible thing because the program has been ended is not to proceed with that program. This is because we believe that affordability is a critical issue. We believe that putting $260 back in the pockets of every family is an important item. We believe that reducing gas prices and natural gas prices are the priority and that is the approach we've taken. Supplementary. Thank you. And again to the minister, one of the Premier's first priorities was to cancel support for green initiatives, improvements and repairs across our communities. This government canceled the green on social housing grant and so now Sunrise Place seniors co-op has had to cancel their plans to install this necessary air quality unit. This government cut this grant and seems proud of that decision, but our seniors need to live in helpful environments. Sunrise reached out directly to the Premier's office and has heard nothing back. So I'll ask the minister today for them. Will this government work with Sunrise to ensure they can move ahead with their building improvement plans? Minister? Through you to the member, with the end of cap and trade also came the end of that program. This is a government that is enormously sensitive to seniors and to all of our citizens in the Durham region. That's one of the reasons that we did not proceed with the NDP's plan to close the Pickering Nuclear Power Plan, which would have affected 7,000 people. So Mr. Speaker, the people of Ontario can count on this government to respect seniors, to respect all taxpayers, to behave responsibly with our finances and obviously to balance the needs of a healthy environment as well. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes the time we have this morning for Question Period. I want to recognize the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on a point of order. Thank you, Speaker. Point of order. I want to introduce to you and through you to members of the Legislative Assembly a very special guest in the public gallery, my daughter Caitlin Clark. Once again, the Minister? Speaker, I also have another introduction today. We have the father of Page Captain Victoria McLeod Varner in the public gallery. I know her mother gets lots of opportunities to speak, but I wanted to introduce her father, Joe Varner. Welcome to the audience. This house stands in recess until 1 p.m. this afternoon.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzg2dn_F3ZY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
